dirty cop-Mueller’s Despicable Parthian Shot 
sSPEoww9qGzjPWobyzqVfGx0d3sBonaT_LZiVdeyHnTNG2XY7LEQsAL6kXOcF0Ynfl-EJcFl0BPrDiIKPSju24muQltQW8dAa5BzCcWwxjcus59c_2ITti9kWd921vXLUJZoBCRc7wImV1zMt8waNg=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710xby David Catron
{spectator.org} ~ When special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller finally finished his investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, he produced a report that confirms much of the criticism President Trump has leveled at him during the past two years... It clearly reveals that dirty cop-Mueller’s partisan investigators were determined to “get Trump,” and that they were frustrated by their inability to do so. This is most obvious in the section dealing with obstruction of justice. As it is phrased in the Introduction to Volume II, “This report does not conclude that the President committed a crime.” An honest evaluation would have stopped there. dirty cop-Mueller’s team, however, were loath to pursue the honorable course. Their partisan bias compelled them to gratuitously add — after taking eight full paragraphs to explain why they didn’t conclude that Trump had obstructed justice — that they nonetheless would “not exonerate him.” This is the cheapest of cheap shots. It is obviously a cowardly attempt to damage the President with innuendo rather than an actual accusation of obstruction that would eventually have to be supported with proof of “conscious wrongdoing” that dirty cop-Mueller couldn’t produce. dirty cop-Mueller and his minions opted, instead, for good old-fashioned calumny. This is particularly disgraceful considering the restraint Trump demonstrated during the probe. He could, for example, have asserted executive privilege to prevent investigators from gaining access to all manner of documents as well as several witnesses. Trump is the first president since Jimmy Carter not to invoke that well-established prerogative. Trump also resisted the temptation to simply halt the probe, a power that he does possess under Article II of the Constitution. dirty cop-Mueller ignored this cooperation and chronicled 10 examples of unobstruction in the Executive Summary of Volume II. Below is a summary of eachThe Campaign’s response to reports about Russian support for Trump: When “questions arose” about Russia’s support for Trump, and WikiLeaks released damning DNC emails, “Trump publicly expressed skepticism that Russia was responsible.” Trump denied having Russian business partners, “even though as late as June 2016 the Trump Organization had been pursuing a licensing deal for a skyscraper to be built in Russia.” But would Trump engage in obstruction if he wasn’t guilty of collusion? Conduct involving FBI Director Comey and Michael Flynn: The President’s reaction to the continuing Russia investigation: The President’s termination of scumbag-Comey: The appointment of a Special Counsel and efforts to remove him: Efforts to curtail the Special Counsel’s investigation:  Efforts to prevent public disclosure of evidence: Further efforts to have the Attorney General take control of the investigation: Efforts to have McGahn deny that he had ordered him to have the Special Counsel removed: Conduct towards Flynn, Manafort...   https://spectator.org/muellers-despicable-parthian-shot/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=5f06be2e23-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_19_01_13&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-5f06be2e23-104608113

Spain: Does the Term 'Islamist' 
Constitute Hate Speech?
IrJyGFqmyyFGbodDB32gBNpwTLukqSY6QlMfD4AqfevGTCRc34Jv4iD8GvoFgNwRCJPe9P1qD1_sn2wiTpAPg5BPSw=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710xby Soeren Kern
gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Spanish prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation to determine whether the secretary general of Vox, a fast-rising Spanish populist party... is guilty of hate speech for warning of an "Islamist invasion." The criminal inquiry, based on a complaint from a Muslim activist group, appears aimed at silencing critical discussion of Islam ahead of national elections on April 28. More broadly, however, the case poses a potentially immeasurable threat to the exercise of free speech in Spain. Prosecutors in Valencia, the third-largest city in Spain, said that they were investigating Javier Ortega Smith, the second-ranking leader of Vox, for an alleged hate crime after they received a complaint from a Muslim group called "Muslims Against Islamophobia" (Musulmanes Contra la Islamofobia). At a rally in Valencia on September 16, 2018, Ortega Smith declared that Europe's "common enemy" is the "Islamist invasion": "Spain is facing threats from internal and external enemies. The internal enemies are perfectly identifiable: the Catalan separatists, the friends of Basque terrorists, those who want to tear our nation apart...."The external enemies want to tell us how to run our country.... Angela Merkel and her fellow travelers, scumbag-George Soros, the immigration mafias, believe that they can tell us who can and cannot enter our country. They demand that our boats pluck so-called castaways out of the sea, transfer them to our ports and shower them with money. Who do they think we are? We say enough is enough.... Spain and us should stand with Ortega Smith.

by hannity.com:  House Intel Chairman scumbag-Adam Schiff formally invited dirty cop-Robert Mueller to testify before his committee Thursday... saying the American people “deserve the facts” after the special counsel’s two-year investigation into Russia collusion. “The House Intelligence Committee has formally invited Special Counsel dirty cop-Mueller to testify on the counterintelligence investigation,” posted scumbag-Schiff on social media. “After a two year investigation, the public deserves the facts, not Attorney General Barr’s political spin.”The letter states the Democrat chairman hopes to speak with dirty cop-Mueller “at the earliest opportunity” and hopes to secure a “mutually agreeable date in May.” This prove scumbag-Schiff has the facts even if it hits in the face. dirty cop-Mueller will prove that.

{fdd.org} ~ As Washington readies itself for a diminished role in the Middle East, Moscow is laying the groundwork for a significant long-term presence... By acquiring pipelines and exploration rights in Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria, Russia is building a land bridge to Europe through the Middle East. In doing so, it will cement its role as Europe’s primary gas supplier and expand its influence in the Middle East, posing serious risks to U.S. and European interests. Russia already supplies 35 percent of Europe’s total gas imports, and it has long worked to head off any European efforts to diversify energy supplies. Here, Russia also has to worry about its abysmal relations with Ukraine—the conduit for most of its Europe-bound exports. Building an energy transit network through the Middle East would allow Moscow to stay in the game. In this new network, Turkey is one of the most important transit points. The Russian state-owned gas company Gazprom already operates the Blue Stream pipeline, which handles approximately 16 percent of Moscow’s gas exports to Europe, via Turkey and Bulgaria. Now, a second pipeline, TurkStream, is expected to come online before the end of this year. It will transport approximately 14 percent of Moscow’s gas exports to Europe, via Turkey and Greece. These two pipelines come on top of Nord Stream 2, and together, all three will make Europe even more dependent on Russian gas while also driving deeper the wedge between the United States and the European Union over Russia’s use of energy infrastructure as a political weapon. Together, the three pipelines will be more than enough to replace exports that make their way to Europe through Ukraine. Another leg of the new network will run through Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdish region before connecting to Turkey’s pipeline network for further export to Europe. In September 2017—days before the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) held an ill-fated referendum on independence—the Russian state-owned energy company Rosneft inked an agreement with the KRG to fund a $1 billion gas pipeline from Kurdistan to Turkey. The pipeline is expected to be able to meet approximately 6 percent of Europe’s yearly gas demand. And then, in October 2017, Rosneft took a controlling interest in an existing KRG oil pipeline to Turkey for $1.8 billion. That pipeline has been at the heart of strained relations between Iraq’s central government and the KRG since 2013, when Erbil began unilaterally exporting oil to Turkey through the pipeline, a move Baghdad criticized as a major constitutional violation...

Buzzfeed Finally Admits It Was Wrong 
About Trump Directing Michael Cohen To Lie

by Ashe Schow
dailywire.com } ~ Remember how the media yes, including The Daily Wire jumped on a January 17, 2019 report in Buzzfeed that the Special Counsel had evidence... that President Donald Trump “directed” his former attorney Michael Cohen to lie to prosecutors?  The story was questionable on the surface, as its sources were anonymous law enforcement officials and by the time it was reported, Cohen had already been charged with crimes and this would have been something included in those charges. Further, it was clear even the left-wing media was unsure of the veracity of the report, as they couched their reporting on it with the qualifier “if true.” Hours after the report was released — and after left-wing media outlets spent the day pushing the narrative to suggest Trump was going down soon — Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s office issued a rare statement calling the report “not accurate.” The Washington Post and The New York Times followed up that statement with reports from anonymous sources corroborating the claim of inaccuracy. "BuzzFeed's description of specific statements to the Special Counsel's Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen's Congressional testimony are not accurate,” said Peter Carr, a spokesman for dirt cop-Mueller. Yet Buzzfeed held steadfast to the story, with Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith going on national TV to defend his reporters and his outlet. Now that dirty cop-Mueller’s report has been released, Smith has finally acknowledged that Buzzfeed’s reporting was wrong, and offered a detailed explanation of how it happened... There will be more outlets claiming they were wrong.

Questions for Chase (Away) Bank

Michelle Malkin

 

I have been a Chase Bank customer for years. Who knows how much longer it’ll be? Will the company’s thought police come for me next? How about you? If you are a non-leftist who does business with the financial giant owned by J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., you need to ask questions and get answers.

On Tuesday, investigative journalist James O'Keefe and his Project Veritas team released a disturbing new video on the runaround that Chase officials gave Texas conservative entrepreneur Enrique Tarrio about his canceled account. Big business may very well be enabling America’s very own version of the Chinese social credit system in which political dissent is flagged, shunned, punished and eradicated.

First, some background:

Tarrio is a young, peaceful, Afro-Cuban freethinker and chairman of the Proud Boys organization. In February 2019, the Texas Trump supporter received a letter from Chase Bank informing him that “after careful consideration,” the financial institution could “no longer support” his banking account. The notice followed a hit piece against minorities who support the president by The Daily Beast, a reliable echo chamber for the discredited Southern Poverty Law Center smear machine.

Tarrio was subsequently kicked off Chase’s payment processor, which he used to sell patriotic and pro-Trump T-shirts. Next, he was deplatformed from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Airbnb, FirstData, Square, Stripe and PayPal before losing his bank accounts. When I asked on Twitter in February why we can’t have just one financial institution that doesn’t cave to social justice warriors, the official Chase Twitter account tweeted me back:

“Hi Michelle, this article is inaccurate. We did not close his personal account. We do not close accounts based on political affiliation.”

I pointed out that Chase’s letter clearly stated that the company had closed his account. “So if not for political reasons,” I asked, “why, ‘after careful consideration,’ did you close his account?” The social media manager of Chase’s corporate Twitter account, previously so eager to spill the tea, replied: “For privacy reasons, we can’t say more.”

Thanks to Project Veritas, we now know more. Undercover audio and video exposed how:

–One Chase employee blamed “clerical” issues on Tarrio’s account cancellation.

–Another stated: “I see nothing that indicates any reason why the account should be closed. I don’t see any outstanding transactions or anything ridiculous.”

–Another explained: “Chase is not involved with any like, you know, alt-right people or anything.” Those with “no moral character” are people that “the bank usually doesn’t get involved with in any "business relationships, period.”

–Several repeated a company line in Tarrio’s mysterious file: “Decision is not reversible.”

Others who received Chase shutdown notices so far in 2019: conservative Rebel Media contributor Martina Markota, anti-sharia and pro-borders investigative journalist Laura Loomer and U.S. Army combat vet and vocal Trump supporter Joe Biggs. Were Markota’s, Loomer’s and Biggs’ removals “clerical” errors or unfounded or were they based on an ideological litmus test disguised as a “moral character” assessment?

More questions arise:

How exactly is J.P. Morgan Chase’s $500,000 donation last year to the SPLC left-wing operatives being put to use?

Why did the company embrace a known defamation racket whose stated mission is to “destroy” its political enemies on the right?

What comment does Chase have now that SPLC’s top leaders have been purged amid internal accusations of intolerance and discrimination within the walls of the notorious Poverty Palace?

Does Chase keep tabs on high-profile conservative customers’ political speech on social media platforms?

Is Chase operating from the same playbook as Paypal, which is booting off conservatives in consultation with the SPLC? One of its most recent victims: Luke Rohlfing, a young reporter for BigLeaguePolitics.com, who had exposed how the payment processor was allowing Open Borders Inc. heavyweight Pueblo Sin Fronteras to raise money for illegal immigrant caravans conspiring to break our immigration laws — even though Paypal’s own terms of service state clearly that users may not engage in any activities that “violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation.”

Tarrio warns of the speech-squelching pattern emerging across Silicon Valley and on Wall Street: “First we get silenced on social media, then Paypal, then I get debanked. It’s a very dangerous trend.”

He is not alone. Former Toronto mayoral candidate and social media commentator Faith Goldy told me: “To date I’ve been banned from: PayPal, Patreon, GoFundMe, Airbnb, Facebook and Instagram. I’ve committed no crime! My only fault is loving my country and quoting government statistics to a camera from my kitchen table. The nature of big tech censorship is imperialistic and these Silicon Valley nerds won’t stop until every freethinker is snuffed or scared into submission.”

As for Chase Bank, I sent all my questions to chief communications officer Patricia Wexler, who challenged the authenticity of one of the employees recorded by Veritas (O'Keefe showed proof of the Chase New York media relations number dialed and had audio of the employee identifying himself as a Chase rep) and ignored the substance of the report.

Evasion and denial are surefire ways to lose business. Is it Chase Bank or Chase Away Bank? Inquiring customers would like to know.

7 Ways The dirty cop-Mueller Report Exposed

thefederalist.com } ~ After two and a half years of countless mainstream media “scoops” and “bombshells” that turned out to be false or nonexistent, the American people finally have some concrete answers on Russiagate... When Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller released his 448-page report on Russian interference in the 2016 election on Thursday, some of the investigation’s conclusions debunked once and for all many misleading, and anonymously sourced, conspiracy theories. Here are some of the most prominent stories the press got wrong about the Russian collusion narrative. 1. Michael Cohen Never Went To Prague The infamous Christopher Steele dossier, which was funded by the scumbag liar-Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party, alleged that Trump lawyer Michael Cohen met with Federation Council foreign affairs head Konstantin Kosachev in Prague. Desperately wanting to confirm this, news outlets sent reporters to hotels all over Prague checking hotel logs. In April 2018, McClatchy reported dirty cop-Mueller had obtained evidence of Cohen’s visit to the Czech Republic, according to two anonymous sources. In December 2018, they reported that Cohen’s cell phone, or a device registered to him, was pinged off towers near Prague. The dirty cop-Mueller report debunked this piece of the dossier once and for all when the special counsel wrote, “Cohen had never traveled to Prague and was not concerned about those allegations, which he believed were provably false.” McClatchy has now added a two sentence editor’s note to their two reports on Cohen. 2. Carter Page Was Not a Russian Agent 3. Donald Trump Did Not Direct Cohen to Lie to Congress 4. Cohen’s Call With a Russian Did Not Prove Collusion 5. Paul Manafort Was Not Funneling Polling Data to Putin 6. The Trump Campaign Did Not Make Republicans Soften Their Position on Ukraine 7. Jeff Sessions Was Not a Russian Spy...

dirty cop-Mueller’s Report Ends ‘Witch Hunt’ 
But What’s About To Unfold Is The Real Story

saraacarter.com } ~ Attorney General William Barr stressed Thursday during his press conference that although Special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller detailed 10 “episodes”... involving actions by President Trump that might have constituted obstruction of justice, neither the DOJ, nor Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein believed those actions violated the law. Barr said based on the evidence that Trump’s action had “non-corrupt motives.” The redacted version of dirty cop-Mueller’s report   was released late Thursday. The very few redactions in the behemoth report show the reasons for the decisions, which were based on recommendations made by the intelligence community, DOJ and dirty cop-Mueller prosecutors to protect classified information, sources and methods and information pertaining to ongoing litigation.The roughly 400 page report is what it is and now it is available for the public. After more than two years and national media consumption of every rumor possible the investigation has concluded that neither President Trump, anyone on his campaign and no American colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election. Thank goodness. We should be celebrating. Instead, many media outlets who carried the Trump conspiracy water to thirsty ‘anti-Trumpers’ and angry Democrats are scouring the pages looking for anything to salvage their failed attempts at removing a duly elected president. The reality, however, is that it’s over for those pushing the now debunked Trump Russia collusion. It is a chapter closed. What is left, however, are multiple chapters still left to be written. What will unfold is investigation into what historians will consider one of the greatest political ‘witch-hunts’ in U.S. history. If justice is served, those responsible will be outed and prosecuted...   https://saraacarter.com/muellers-report-ends-witchhunt-but-whats-about-to-unfold-is-the-real-story/?utm_source=Darkwire+Inc&utm_campaign=49dd2e31ad-End+of+Mueller+Report+What%27s+Next&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_5f3d745e4f-49dd2e31ad-283256057

scumbag-Steny Hoyer Said Impeachment 
‘Is Not Worthwhile,’ Left-Wingers Freaked

{thefederalist.com} ~ House Majority Leader scumbag-Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) reacted to the release of the dirty cop-Robert Mueller report on Thursday by arguing impeachment of President Trump “is not worthwhile.”... His two-sentence comment to CNN ignited a furor on the left, rankling those who predictably interpreted the report as further cause for impeachment efforts. “Based on what we have seen to date, going forward on impeachment is not worthwhile at this point,” scumbag-Hoyer  told Dana Bash. “Very frankly, there is an election in 18 months and the American people will make a judgment.” scumbag-Hoyer’s apparent signal that Democratic leadership, like most of the rest of the country, is prepared to move on from the special counsel investigation didn’t sit well with a host of anti-Trump commentators. For a sampling of the backlash, see the tweets below. And expect the tension between Democratic leadership and the party’s progressive wing to escalate...

westernjournal.com } ~ The Democratic Party is fracturing as left-wing lawmakers begin to embrace socialism, but Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan said... that he’s “concerned” about the growing popularity of socialism in his party. The Ohio representative and 2020 hopeful was asked about the growing trend of socialism in the Democratic Party on CNN’s “New Day.” “I’m concerned about it because if we are going to decarbonize the economy, it’s not going to be some centralized bureaucracy in Washington, D.C., that’s going to make it happen,” Ryan said Wednesday. Ryan explained that the free market, along with “part targeted government investments,” will lead the way toward cleaner energy. “It’s going to be part targeted government investments that do need to be robust,” Ryan said. “But it’s going to be the free market that at the end of the day is going to make that happen. “They have the magic of the free market. They have the innovation, the creativity, the profit motive.”Ryan’s stance is in stark contrast to several far-left lawmakers who support the “Green New Deal,” an extremely expensive, centralized government program to reduce the use of fossil fuels. It’s important to note that a self-described socialist, freshman Rep.  commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, crafted the Green New Deal. But that obviously wouldn’t be a problem for 2020 hopeful Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders, who is also a self-described socialist...

The Ideological Roots of Modern Socialists
by Allen Gindler

americanthinker.com } ~  More often than not, socialism is associated with Marxism. But this is a misconception, as Marxism is an ideology of communism, an extreme and exceptional current of socialism..
. Marxism left a significant ideological imprint in socialist doctrines; nevertheless, it did not constitute a mass movement of the Left. The reality is trivial: Marxism belongs to the Left, but the mainstream of the Left's ideologies is not Marxian. Ironically, the main currents of socialism emerged as a reformation, a revision of Marxian thoughts. Those revisionists can be divided into two groups: conformists and non-conformists. To the latter group belong, for example, revolutionary syndicalists and Bolsheviks who emancipated themselves from the determinism of Marxian materialist conception of history and saw a violent revolution as the only means to overthrown capitalism. The former group — Social Democrats — constitutes the majority of the socialist movement in Europe then and now. Social Democrats representing the flavor of the evolutionary socialism have been incorporated in the framework of the democratic state and sought to undermine capitalism from within. In the beginning, they symbolized labor and fought for improving laborers' welfare on the sites of parliament by securing wealth redistribution in the laws of the land. At some point, an erroneous division of society into two classes — the proletariat and bourgeoisie — had vividly manifested itself as an emerging middle class, becoming a dominant stratum in the contemporary industrial countries. It became inconvenient to represent a proletariat, as it made sense only in the framework of the Marxian theory of class struggle. Therefore, modern social Democrats are on a constant search for a suitable electorate they would fight for. At present, they have managed to be representatives of amorphous strata of the "unfortunate," "unprivileged," "chronically oppressed," and "minorities" organized as an underclass. They stopped representing genuine and original labor in the way it was understood at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries... https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/ideological_roots_of_modern_socialists.html

Harold Hutchison:  Last month, the United States conducted a “freedom of navigation” exercise in the Taiwan Strait, a body of water between the island of Taiwan (the bulk of the territory of the Republic of China) and the “People’s Republic” of China. One of the ships taking part in this wasn’t a warship, though. It was the national security cutter USCGC Bertholf.

Now, we have been talking about the U.S. Navy’s lack of hulls in the water for quite a while. It has been very visible in both the mismanaged carrier force and the shrinking submarine force. But this has to be another sign of just how desperately short we are when it comes to the force structure.

We have also mentioned in the past just how badly the Coast Guard is stretched. The good news is that the Bertholf-class cutters will at the very least replace the older Hamilton-class cutters on a one-for-one basis. But sending them into the middle of a contested strait is simply stupid — especially given the experience of USS Mason (DDG 87) off the coast of Yemen in 2016. That vessel was fired on multiple times by Iranian-backed Houthi forces.

USS Mason had advanced radars, electronic warfare systems, surface-to-air missiles, as well as point-defense systems to protect itself. The vessel did so successfully, and we retaliated … with a grand total of three Tomahawks. But our efforts to keep Iran from gaining control of Yemen don’t need rehashing today. The problem is that the Bertholf does not have many of those systems, and could easily have been hit by the Iranian-built anti-ship missiles.

What it does have, according to the 16th Edition of the Naval Institute Guide to Combat Fleets of the World, is one 57mm gun, a Mk 15 Phalanx Close-In Weapon System, and a bunch of .50-caliber machine guns. They also have some decoy launchers and electronic-warfare systems. Now, in the past, Coast Guard cutters had the ability to add Harpoon anti-ship missiles, but those aren’t normally carried.

The thing is, the Navy has bought a number of littoral combat ships with an armament not much heavier than that of the Bertholf-class cutters. In 2010, USS Freedom carried out a deployment with Southern Command and made four drug busts and two port visits in 47 days. The Navy should hand their current littoral combat ships over to the Coast Guard and buy the up-armed versions that are part of the FFG(X) competition as replacements on a one-for-one basis. A modified version of the Bertholf is also one of the competitors for the Navy’s new frigate program, and packs a lot more punch — and it should be one of the designs the Navy buys to fix its shortage of hulls in the water, given how the Bertholf was sent to work with an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer. Granted, the Alvaro de Bazan design that is also competing for the FFG(X) contract would be a better option to pair with a Burke, but the fact is, you don’t send a Coast Guard cutter to face the Chinese military without a major upgrade.

But the fact of the matter is that the Coast Guard should be staying closer to the American coast. Granted, they need new icebreakers, given the sad state of their current icebreaker fleet, but the ones they have may need to be kept closer to home. Face it, when you only have one operational heavy icebreaker, it shouldn’t be 11,000 miles away. The Coast Guard is planning new icebreakers, but they are a long way off. Given the global commitments of the United States, the Navy should also get into the icebreaker game — ideally with icebreakers that have the firepower to take on Russia in the Arctic.

The Coast Guard has to cover and secure a coastline that is six times as long as the border with Mexico, and with maybe two-thirds of the personnel of Customs and Border Protection. Given that reality, we shouldn’t be sending Coast Guard cutters to do Navy missions.

The dirty cop-Mueller Report shows there never was a Trump Russia-Collusion-Conspiracy case to begin with; and with the report showing how most of dirty cop-Mueller’s investigative time was spent gathering evidence for an ‘obstruction case’; and with new revelations from Andrew McCabe, John Dowd and dirty cop-Mueller officials overlayed on the previous Strzok/Page texts; we can now clearly reconcile the May 16th, 2017, meeting between President Trump, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein and dirty cop-Robert Mueller.  Here’s how…FBI Director scumbag-James Comey was fired on Tuesday May 9th, 2017. According to his own admissions (NBC and CBS), Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe immediately began a criminal ‘obstruction’ investigation the next day, Wednesday May 10th; and he immediately enlisted Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. These McCabe statements line up with with text message conversations between FBI lawyer Lisa Page and FBI agent Peter Strzok – (same dates 5/9 and 5/10)...

{foxnews.com} ~ House Judiciary Committee Chairman scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., issued a subpoena Friday to obtain the "complete and unredacted" version of Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's Russia report... as well as the underlying materials -- the next step in what is almost certain to be a lengthy political and legal battle between Democrats and Republicans over the report. "This includes, but is not limited to, all summaries, exhibits, indices, tables of contents or other tables or figures, appendices, supplements, addenda or any other attachments whether written or attached in a separate electronic format," the subpoena says. scumbag liar-Nadler's push comes a day after a redacted version of the report was made public. The White House has hailed the report, which found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government in 2016, as a victory. But Democrats have pointed to dirty cop-Mueller's review of 10 instances where Trump may be considered to have obstructed justice -- although the special counsel did not conclude that Trump committed a crime -- as well as other details in the report as justification for Congress to see the report, as for dirty cop-Mueller to testify to Congress. scumbag liar-Nadler and other Democrats have been particularly opposed to Attorney General William Barr's decision to release a redacted version of the report to Congress. Barr said that he, along with special counsel, identified four areas of the report that needed redactions, including grand jury material, information the intelligence community believes would reveal intelligence sources and methods, any material that could interfere with ongoing prosecutions, and information that could implicate the privacy or reputational interests of “peripheral players.”... They will never ever be satisfied with any documents.  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-judiciary-committee-issues-subpoena-for-complete-and-unredacted-mueller-report

dailywire.com } ~ On Thursday, MSNBC's Brian Williams attempted to poke holes in Attorney General William Barr's summary of the newly released redacted report by Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller... After inviting on Donald Trump's attorney Jay Sekulow, Williams suggested that Barr misled the public by concluding that dirty cop-Mueller's report found "no collusion" between the Trump campaign and the Russian government in election interference. Sekulow responded by reading directly from the report clearly stating that it "did not establish" collusion.  "Counselor, thank you very much for joining us," Wiliams began in a moment highlighted by the Washington Examiner. "My first question, I'm afraid, is going to verge on plain English: Where did the attorney general get off with that characterization this morning, including four mentions that there was 'no collusion'? What document was he reading compared to the one we're left with?" Sekulow responded by simply reading directly from the second page of dirty cop-Mueller's now publicly available report. "Well, page 2 of the document says, 'the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities,'" Sekulow read. "So it's right from the document itself," he added. "Have you read Part 1?" asked Williams. "I have read Part 1 and Part 2," Sekulow replied. "You find good news in here for the president and the administration?" asked Williams, suggestively. Sekulow answered by reading another direct quote from the report: "Page 181: 'The investigation did not establish that the contacts described in Volume 1 [Section IV, supra],' that's the Russian contacts, 'amounted to an agreement to commit any substantive violation of federal criminal law, including foreign-influence and campaign-finance laws.'" Sekulow then answered Williams' loaded question directly: "Yeah, I think it's a very good win."...

‘You’re Very Rude, Sir!’ — Martha MacCallum Fires Back At Filibustering Dem Congressman

dailycaller.com } ~ Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum criticized Democratic Rep. Sean Maloney as “very rude”... after the New York congressman kept talking over her during their Thursday night conversation about the dirty cop-Mueller report.  After  MacCallum asked Maloney if things had been “blown out of proportion” during the last two years, the Democratic lawmaker switched the focus to several incidents related in the report that some have interpreted as attempts at obstruction. “Excuse me,” MacCallum interrupted. “I have let you explain yourself in great detail. I just want to say one thing and I will let you go on …” “Excuse me, I have something to say,” the Fox News anchor said after Maloney continued talking. “The point is Carter Page …” said Maloney. But a visibly annoyed MacCallum was finished playing nice: You are very rude. You’re very rude, sir. That was rude. I’m trying to interject for a moment. I don’t want to interrupt but I want to say one thing about the underlying crime here. When there is not an underlying crime with regard to collusion, it’s difficult to say someone is obstructing something. So, you just laid out your thinking about why you think the president was being obstructive. But if there is no underlying crime. That’s one of the reasons dirty cop-Robert Mueller was unable to make a finding there. I’m sorry for getting heated, but please go ahead...

bloomberg.com } ~ Energy Secretary Rick Perry is planning to leave the Trump administration and is finalizing the terms and timing of his departure... according to two people familiar with his plans. While Perry’s exit isn’t imminent and one person familiar with the matter said the former Texas governor still hasn’t fully made up his mind, three people said he has been seriously considering his departure for weeks. All of the people spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations. An Energy Department spokeswoman, Shaylyn Hynes, rejected the idea that Perry would be leaving the administration any time soon. “He is happy where he is serving President Trump and leading the Department of Energy,” she said in a statement. The White House press office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Perry, an Air Force veteran who was previously Texas’s longest-serving governor, has enjoyed a good rapport with President Donald Trump. Trump personally asked Perry if he’d take over as Homeland Security secretary, before the president asked Kirstjen Nielsen to resign earlier this month, two of the people said. Perry declined, they said. Perry has been preparing the agency’s deputy secretary, Dan Brouillette, for the transition, two people said. It’s unclear if Trump would name Brouillette as secretary. Part of Perry’s motivation in seeking to leave before the end of Trump’s first term is a desire to build his income before retiring, two people said...

Dems Enraged at Trump's Plan to Send 

Illegals to Sanctuary Cities
ou4FA3r7bejPGWXyvkzS4ethtsN6yAQw2J4qToroTTke0Q3HgSnqSbCqm_bbqJSwV6HGB_XlZTcH2WaUfh1U_cx6lf4-l3Mrbn0KnK-S8YwX4rg9vvsyaNozueb75z7HD4nO69DWDPU3e4091Y68OVpUWJEQ2L2oO2LIeA4=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Louis DeBroux:  Conservative icon Ben Shapiro once wrote that President Donald Trump’s superpower “is that he can irritate people into doing the dumbest things imaginable.” At the time he was speaking of Trump’s trolling of Democrat Senator Elizabeth dinky-Warren until she took a DNA test to prove her claims of Native American ancestry, and instead proved that she was, at most, 1/1024th Native American, and therefore a fraud.
 

Last week, President Trump didn’t just throw gas on the fire of the illegal-immigration debate, he backed up a tanker truck to the fire and opened the valves.

When word leaked out of an internal White House discussion as to the wisdom and feasibility of taking captured illegals and transporting them to sanctuary cities, obstructionist Democrats went (more) insane, enraged that Trump would dump illegals on their doorsteps. In response, Trump tweeted, “The Radical Left always seems to have an Open Borders, Open Arms policy — so this should make them very happy!”

Democrats, having lost their collective minds, exposed not only their abject hypocrisy, but their cynical politicization of an issue that is deeply impacting and harming millions of Americans.

House Speaker Nancy Pulosi, suddenly terrified of seeing thousands of illegals in her front yard, self-righteously declared Trump’s threat “unworthy of the presidency,” calling the idea “cruel,” “warped,” and “despicable.” Of course, when illegals jumped Pulosi’s fence last year, she didn’t invite them into her living room, she had cops haul them off.

Other Democrats were equally terrified. Democrat Senator and 2020 presidential candidate scumbag-Cory Booker declared that busing illegals to sanctuary cities would “make us less safe.” New York Rep. scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler protested that Trump had “no right” to do so. Seattle’s mayor called Trump a “despot.”

The Wall Street Journal editorial board points out legitimate problems with President Trump’s plan. While the constitutionality of the plan can be debated, there are other unintended consequences that could undermine it. With the 2020 census just around the corner, transporting tens of thousands of illegals to Democrat-heavy districts could actually result in more seats in Congress after reapportionment. The WSJ also argues that busing illegals to “sanctuary” cities would lend legitimacy to the idea that cities and states can defy federal immigration law and enact their own policies on immigration.

On the other hand, one would have to be utterly blind to avoid the glaring double standard. Democrat-controlled cities and states refuse to enforce federal immigration law, even going so far as to actively assist illegals in evading federal authorities. So it seems a bit disingenuous to argue that Trump is breaking the law by offering to give them exactly what they have asked for. And what other segment of the population can break laws with impunity and not only go unpunished but be rewarded?

Some believe this is a political stunt by Trump, but others believe Trump has every intention on following through. Trump also declared, “The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities. We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or its poor management & high taxes!”

Regardless of whether this threat is enacted as policy, Trump has dealt Democrats another blow politically, exposing their rank hypocrisy.

Democrats repeatedly declare there is no border crisis, and attack Trump when he claims illegals are responsible for tens of thousands of cases of assault, rape, murder, and other crimes against American citizens. Democrats claim illegals are all just hard-working people looking to make a better life in America. They claim illegals commit crime at lower rates than native-born Americans, are a net benefit to the economy, and make us a better country by making us more diverse.

If all that is true (and, to be fair, it often is), why are “progressive,” open-borders Democrats terrified of Trump’s plan? One would think they’d be eager to usher tens of thousands of these wonderful, law-abiding (except for the whole illegally crossing the border thing, and the identity theft, and the other crimes) people into their cities.

The truth is that Democrats could not care less about the plight of these poor immigrants. In 2009-2010, with Barack scumbag/liar-nObama in the White House and Democrats holding supermajorities in both houses of Congress, the Democrats made no effort to deal with the decades-old immigration problem.

Why? Because illegal immigration is far more useful to Democrats as a bludgeon against their Republican foes. If President Trump is able to secure the border and get an immigration-reform package through Congress, then the crisis is solved, and they can no longer accuse Republicans of being heartless and racist.

In the meantime the crisis gets worse. In the El Paso sector alone, the Border Patrol apprehended 71,063 illegals from January to March 2019, compared to “just” 10,975 in the same time frame in 2018, a 647% increase. The Border Patrol is overwhelmed, unable to keep up with the waves of migrants flooding the border. The waves of illegals leave rivers of trash in their wake, and unlike legal immigrants who have to undergo medical screenings, illegals are bringing with them diseases long ago eradicated in the United States.

Congress must fix our nation’s broken immigration system, but until it does, President Trump should do all within his power to enforce the law and protect the American people.  ~The Patriot Post

VP Mike Pence: ‘American People Have Right to Know if Russia Investigation Lawful’: ‘We must never allow our justice system to be exploited in pursuit of a political agenda’!-Posted on Infowars.com-On April 18, 2019:

Vice President Mike Pence released a statement Thursday reiterating the fact the FBI Special Counsel’s probe found no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, and hinting at the investigation against Democrats to come.

In a tweet declaring, “No Collusion — No Obstruction,” Pence’s statement reads, “Today’s release of the Special Counsel’s report confirms what the President and I have said since day one: there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia and there was no obstruction of justice.”

While Americans can confirm the results of no collusion contained in the report for themselves, Pence says it’s important we learn whether the investigation was started in a lawful manner.

“Now that the Special Counsel investigation is completed, the American people have a right to know whether the initial investigation was in keeping with long-standing Justice Department standards — or even lawful at all,” Pence writes. “We must never allow our justice system to be exploited in pursuit of a political agenda.”

Mueller’s Report Ends ‘WitchHunt’ But What’s About To Unfold Is The Real Story!-Posted on SaraCarter.com-By Sara Carter-On April 18, 2019:

Attorney General William Barr stressed Thursday during his press conference that although Special counsel Robert Mueller detailed 10 “episodes” involving actions by President Trump that might have constituted obstruction of justice, neither the DOJ, nor Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein believed those actions violated the law.

Barr said based on the evidence that Trump’s action had “non-corrupt motives.” The redacted version of Mueller’s report was released late Thursday. The very few redactions in the behemoth report show the reasons for the decisions, which were based on recommendations made by the intelligence community, DOJ and Mueller prosecutors to protect classified information, sources and methods and information pertaining to ongoing litigation.

What will unfold is An investigation into what historians Will ConSIder one of the greatest political ‘witch-hunts’ in U.S. history. If justice is served, those responsible will be outed and prosecuted.

The roughly 400 page report is what it is and now it is available for the public. After more than two years and national media consumption of every rumor possible the investigation has concluded that neither President Trump, anyone on his campaign and no American colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election.

Thank goodness. We should be celebrating. Instead, many media outlets who carried the Trump conspiracy water to thirsty ‘anti-Trumpers’ and angry Democrats are scouring the pages looking for anything to salvage their failed attempts at removing a duly elected president.

The reality, however, is that it’s over for those pushing the now debunked Trump Russia collusion. It is a chapter closed.

What is left, however, are multiple chapters still left to be written. What will unfold is investigation into what historians will consider one of the greatest political ‘witch-hunts’ in U.S. history. If justice is served, those responsible will be outed and prosecuted.

Those officials who weaponized the intelligence community, approved unauthorized surveillance on American citizens based on unvalidated information and targeted a sitting president should fear the wrath of ‘lady justice.’

Call it what you will but numerous sources within the intelligence community are describing the actions of the officials who launched and perpetuated the investigation into Trump a failed ‘soft coup.’ That is what we witnessed over the past three years, since the beginning of the investigation into Trump’s campaign.

We also witnessed two major disinformation campaigns: one by the Russians and the other by supporters loyal to Clinton.

From the begining it was impossible to prove the allegations that the Democrats, anti-Trump right wing and others were lobbing at the president. They did it with such voraciousness that it took over the airwaves like a Tsunami, sweeping up everything and everyone in its path.

Journalists that couldn’t prove those allegations were true, like me, simply said over the past two years “there is no evidence that Trump colluded or conspired with Russia.” I’ve said this as far back as 2017. 

It is the same end result discovered by Mueller after more than $30 million dollars, witness interviews, subpoenas and hundreds of warrants.

Days and weeks with little sleep were spent chasing rabbits down a proverbial hole of allegations that amounted to nothing. It was literally exhausting.

Instead, what evolved from my investigations, as well as my colleague John Solomon, was growing body of evidence of malfeasance within the intelligence community, FBI and DOJ. The insurmountable evidence unraveled like a loose ball of yarn as we started pulling threads and avalanched with the launch of Congressional investigations.

Rep. Devin Nunes, R-CA, was one of the first to reveal those threads and never wavered even when the Washington ‘swamp monsters’ targeted him and his credibility. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio and Rep. Mark Meadows, R-NC, worked tirelessly with their committees to get to the truth. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, have done the same and all promise to continue to the battle for the truth. Why? Because frankly this political war is not over.

Just remember, it was Hillary Clinton and the DNC that paid for former British Spy Christopher Steele’s anti-Trump dossier through their attorney’s Perkins Coie. It was the embattled research firm Fusion GPS, with its founder Glenn Simpson, that helped spread the dossier and its unsubstantiated and false findings all over Washington D.C. They did so with help from senior officials at the FBI and DOJ. When Simpson and his crew couldn’t get it published they used their contacts at the FBI to leak to information to the media with them. They also had their anti-Trump friends in high positions of power within the Obama Administration like then CIA Director John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, FBI Director James Comey and his then Deputy Director fo the FBI Andrew McCabe to brief the most salacious parts of the dossier to Trump in January, 2017.

It was the best way to get the disinformation out regarding the dossier to the world. All of the sudden, Trump was being cornered and isolated. More importantly, early on they targeted Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. They knew they had to remove Flynn – remove him from Trump’s side. After all, “he knows where all the bodies are buried and he was sick and tired of the Obama administration’s lies to the American people,” said one former intelligence source who worked closely with Flynn.

Mueller’s report will keep the left busy the next few days. It lists, as Barr noted, ten possible circumstances that could appear to be obstruction but were not considered obstruction by the DOJ. Barr said Trump never broke any laws.

Think about it. Trump was being accused of being a spy for Russia. It was a daily compounded disinformation campaign by senior members of a former administration leaking lies, half-truths and malicious rumors about Trump. Those who aided the lies were MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, McClatchy News, The Washington Post, and many more, who all had stories that the U.S. president was compromised by Russia and worked with the Russians against the American people.

I can’t imagine not being frustrated. The list of allegations that Mueller references in his report were nothing more than an extremely frustrated president who was being accused of the worst crime in U.S. history.

Some of it is embarrassing. However, none of Trump’s actions constituted breaking the law, as Barr noted.

How can you be accused of obstruction of a crime you never committed? However, how can you not be appalled at the lies being directed at you, your family, your coworkers and those who support you when you know for a fact that is all they are – lies.

America needs to heal first and foremost.

But in order to heal the American justice system, that is revered around the world, must act swiftly and with strength to hold those accountable for these actions and bring those who broke the law to justice.

Transparency and justice is the only way we can regain the trust in the institutions that make our great nation the envy of those around the world.

Is the Mueller Report a Smokescreen?-Posted on The Post & Email-By Sharon Rondeau-On April 18, 2019:

(Apr. 18, 2019) — Page 89 of the much-anticipated “Mueller report” contains statements in direct contradiction with those made on-air by former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, now the committee’s ranking member, and investigative reporter and executive vice president of video for The Hill John Solomon.

The page numbers refer to those printed at the bottom of each page rather than the number which appears as part of a total at the top-left of the PDF document as the reader scrolls through it.

At the top of page 89, Mueller related that in April 2016, then-Trump advisor George Papadopoulos was approached by one Joseph Mifsud with the claim that “he (Mifsud) learned that the Russians had obtained ‘dirt’ on candidate Hillary Clinton,” which is consistent with Papadopoulos’s version of the events in a number of public interviews and his closed-door interview with members of Congress last year.

Papadopoulos and Mifsud met in London at Mifsud’s request on April 26, 2016 (p. 21 of transcript), Papadopoulos testified, after initially having been introduced to one another at the “Link Campus” in Rome (p. 14) one month prior.

Papadopoulos said he was officially announced as a member of the campaign on March 21 that year, and he appears in a much-circulated photo of campaign aides seated with Trump dated March 31, 2016.

Page 89 of the Mueller report begins:

{…}

“As Papadopoulos later stated to the FBI,” the report continues, “Mifsud said that the ‘dirt’ was in the form of ’emails of Clinton,’ and that they ‘have thousands of emails.'” The statement was followed with a notation for footnote #464, which referred to paragraph 14 of Papadopoulos’s Statement of Offense generated by the U.S. Justice Department after the FBI alleged that Papadopoulos lied in response to some of its questions posed to him in the course of its Trump-Russia “collusion” investigation.

In September 2017, Papadopoulos pleaded “guilty” to the charge and was obligated to pay a $10,000 fine, complete 200 hours of community service, and spend 12 days in federal prison.

Mueller then continued, “On May 6, 2016, 10 days after that meeting with Mifsud, Papadopoulos suggested to a representative of a foreign government that the Trump Campaign had received indications from the Russian government that it could assist the Campaign through the anonymous release of information that would be damaging to Hillary Clinton,” followed by a notation for footnote #465.

The “representative of a foreign government” is almost certainly Alexander Downer, who was then Australia’s ambassador to the UK, where Papadopoulos was living and working at the time.

In numerous interviews, Papadopoulos has acknowledged a meeting in early May with Downer at the Kensington Wine Rooms at Downer’s invitation but said he does not recall mentioning “emails” during the conversation.  He described the exchange as “hostile” wherein Downer allegedly put his phone on the table with the apparent intent of demonstrating that he was recording the conversation.

According to a December 30, 2017 New York Times report, Papadopoulos’s conversation with Downer in May 2016 acted as the catalyst for the entire “collusion” investigation into the Trump campaign, which began as a counterintelligence probe but without the customary defensive briefing from the Bureau.

On Twitter Papadopoulos has said with certainty that, like Carter Page, he was the subject of a FISA warrant as a result of his work in the Israeli energy sector and that the surveillance began sometime in 2015.

In a tweet on Thursday afternoon, Papadopoulos wrote, “I never said the word ‘dirt’ to the FBI or Mueller.  Where did they get this term? Downer is very exposed” [sic].

{…}

At approximately 1:45 p.m. EDT, Papadopoulos tweeted a section of page   from the report confirming that “search warrants” were taken out on him to investigate whether or not he was

{…}

On Wednesday night, Solomon appeared on “Hannity” and declared, for the first time, that the Trump-Russia “collusion” investigation had its origins in the White House in early January 2016, before Trump won the Republican nomination.

Former U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Joseph DiGenova, a contemporaneous guest on the program, stated, “…it all started in the White House.  Barack Obama knew about this from Day One; he authorized it…” (18:37).

Footnote 465 contends that in following Papadopoulos’s interaction with the unnamed government representative at the Kensington Wine Rooms, “The foreign government conveyed this information to the U.S. government on July 26, 2016, a few days after WikiLeaks’s release of Clinton-related emails. The FBI opened its investigation of potential coordination between Russia and the Trump Campaign a few days later based on the information.”

In a “Hannity” interview on April 11, Nunes said that what the FBI considered “legal spying” began ““late 2015/early 2016,” adding, “Then you have the culmination of the ultimate spying where you have the FBI director spying on the president, taking notes, illegally leaking those notes of classified information…why? so they can appoint a special counsel to spy on an acting president again. So there’s a lot of spying and a lot of leaking…”

As head of the House Intel Committee in the 115th Congress, Nunes, other than when he was forced to recuse himself after then-ranking member Adam Schiff (D-CA) accused him of ethics violations, led the committee in its own investigation into Russian influence on the 2016 election and any possible Trump-Russia ties.  Early last year, Nunes generated a memo, which faced protests from committee Democrats, stating that after more than a year, no evidence of “collusion” or conspiracy was found.

Democrats vowed to continue their own investigation and, now that they lead all House committees, have said they are certain “collusion” occurred and vowed to identify other possible crimes allegedly committed by the president when he led the Trump Organization.

On Thursday evening, Papadopoulos tweeted, “The president should sanction Australia for interfering in our election. Clinton errand boy, Alexander Downer, was spying on me and recording our conversation. Congress has the transcripts. This meeting was about my ties to Israel, just like Halper wanted to meet about too.”

{…}

An editorial Papadopoulos wrote, published in The Wall Street Journal Wednesday, is headlined, “The Russia Probe Started With the Spies Who Marked Me” and begins, “The attorney general should question the three men known to have snooped on the Trump campaign.”

An Australian report mentioning the meeting between Papadopoulos and Downer published Thursday reported, contradicting the Mueller report, that “Former high commissioner Alexander Downer reportedly met with Trump adviser George Papadopoulos in London in December 2017, which is when Mr Papadopoulos told Mr Downer he had political dirt on Hillary Clinton.”

The same article stated, “Mr Downer acknowledged in an interview with The Australian newspaper last year he met with Mr Papadopoulos at a London bar and said Mr Papadopoulos told him Russia had damaging material on Mr Trump’s presidential rival Hillary Clinton.”

By December 2017, Papadopoulos had already taken a “guilty” plea, was living in the United States, and was awaiting sentencing.  during his closed-door congressional interview, Rep. Mark Meadows appears to have suggested that “transcripts” of Papadopoulos’s conversations in Europe exist and were not disclosed to Papadopoulos before he accepted the plea (pp. 30, 219).

On October 23, 2018, two days before Papadopoulos’s interview, Solomon reported:

Just weeks after the FBI opened a dramatic counterintelligence probe into President Trump and Russia, one of his presidential campaign advisers emphatically told an undercover bureau source there was no election collusion occurring because such activity would be treasonous.

George Papadopoulos says his spontaneous admission to London-based professor Stefan Halper occurred in mid-September 2016 — well before FBI agents and the Obama Justice Department sought a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to collect Trump campaign communications in the final days before the election.

The Mueller report accepts the FBI’s claim that the Trump-Russia investigation was launched on July 31, 2016 as well as established truth the statements made by former FBI James Comey, whose firing on May 9, 2017 appears to have spurred the “obstruction of justice” allegation against Trump.

According to a memo Comey wrote after a meeting with Trump, he assured Trump he was not personally under investigation, a statement which proved untrue.

Pages 11 and 12 of the report appear to confirm Papadopoulos’s frequently-made claim that he, Trump’s first national-security adviser, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn (Ret); Paul Manafort and Carter Page were subjects of FISA warrants and that the information is contained in Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s August 2 modified directive to Mueller as to the scope of the Russia investigation.

{…}

Parts of the August 2 memo have remained classified despite demands made to Rosenstein from Congress for its release.

Papadopoulos has also urged Trump to release the classified documents.

freebeacon.com } ~ MSNBC anchor Brian Williams was deeply disappointed in Attorney General William Barr Thursday, calling him "Baghdad Bill Barr"... after his press conference declaring dirty cop-Robert Mueller found no collusion by the Trump campaign with Russia. The nickname is a reference to Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf or "Baghdad Bob," the information minister for Saddam Hussein who lied to the public about the Iraq War. Barr made a statement and took questions Thursday morning before the release of the full report, and Williams expressed deep disappointment in Barr's declaration there was not collusion. "It would harken back to a conflict decades ago, we would not be surprised if some headline writer somewhere came up with Baghdad Bill Barr for what we saw today," Williams said. He went on to repeat all the ways Barr said dirty cop-Mueller found "no collusion," as if this were a strange thing for the attorney general to talk about when dirty cop-Mueller's findings on collusion were a singular obsession of the media for the better part of two years. Former scumbag/liar-nObama Administration U.S. attorney Joyce Vance declared Barr's defense of the president "a sad day for all of us." She expressed concern, along with Williams, that Barr had shredded his credibility by exonerating the president in his presser, which had not made people feel "certain about this outcome." "Instead of bringing this episode to a close, Barr's participation will in many ways make people less certain about this outcome and it is a sad day for all of us," Joyce said. Joyce's argument rested on the fact that Barr's stated position had been, in line with Justice Department policy, that the president cannot be indicted. To her, Barr was never trustworthy because he had written about that before, and she said she had hopes institutional pressure in the department would have made him change his mind, against the president. "It's very difficult to see an attorney general doing this. And you know, so many of us had hoped that once Bill Barr returned to that building on Pennsylvania Avenue he would feel gravitational pull inside DOJ and do the right thing," Vance said. Vance wrote an article in Slate opposing Barr's confirmation on the grounds that the American people wouldn't have confidence in him and referred to it in her remarks... Williams and Joyce can't see the truth when it hits them in the face.

by wnd.com:  Democratic senators critical of President Trump recently were stunned into silence when Attorney General William Barr said he believed the scumbag/liar-nObama administration spied on the Trump campaign in 2016... Now that the report of special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller is out concluding there was no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are calling for an investigation of the origins of the collusion allegations. Brad Parscale, Trump’s 2020 campaign manager, said in a statement Thursday that Trump “has been fully and completely exonerated yet again.” “Now the tables have turned, and it’s time to investigate the liars who instigated this sham investigation into President Trump, motivated by political retribution and based on no evidence whatsoever,” Parscale said. He said there is “simply no denying that ‘spying did occur’ on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, as Attorney General Barr himself noted in testimony before Congress.” “Barr went on to testify that there was a ‘failure among a group of leaders there at the upper echelon of the FBI… and I feel I have an obligation to make sure that government power is not abused.’ Now that the collusion and obstruction conspiracy theories have been exposed for the pathetic hoaxes they always were, the scumbag/liar-nObama-era DOJ and FBI must answer for their misdeeds and the scam that they perpetrated against the American people. Justice will be served.” Pence said that Thursday’s release of the special counsel’s report “confirms what the president and I have said since day one: There was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia and there was no obstruction of justice.”..

freebeacon.com } ~ Democratic presidential candidate scumbag-Eric Swalwell called on Attorney General William Barr to resign over the release of special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's findings... saying he'd "lost the credibility of the American people." scumbag-Swalwell, who serves on both the House Judiciary Committee and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, made the comments during a Thursday MSNBC appearance to discuss the release of dirty cop-Mueller's full report—sparing redactions for sensitive information. Despite "no evidence" of collusion between President Donald Trump's campaign and Russia during the 2016 election, scumbag-Swalwell said the report left issues to be addressed. dirty cop-Mueller's "investigation lays out that the Trump team, the president himself, lied and obstructed in ways that impaired in a material fashion the investigation," the California congressman said. "Just because you may bury the evidence deep enough that we can't find everything you did, we have recourse in the United States, which is obstruction of justice." Claiming that the findings proved President Donald Trump was a "double digit obstructer," scumbag-Swalwell turned his fire on Barr. "You can be the attorney general of the United States and represent all of us or you can represent Donald Trump," the congressman said. "You can't do both. And because Attorney General Barr wants to represent Donald Trump, I think he should resign." "You are calling for the attorney general's resignation today?" MSNBC's Nicole Wallace said. "Yes, he's lost the credibility of the American people," scumbag-Swalwell said. "He is not recused from an investigation where he should be recused. He's embedded deeply into the Trump team and that effects the credibility that the attorney general must have."... scumbag-Swalwell should be the one to resign.   https://freebeacon.com/politics/swalwell-calls-on-barr-to-resign-hes-lost-the-credibility-of-the-american-people/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=9784cd4f3a-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_03_19_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-9784cd4f3a-45611665

Disappointed NBC: dirty cop-Mueller 
Report ‘Falling With A Thud’ for Democrats
by Kyle Drennen  

newsbusters.org } ~ During the NBC News Special Report following the release of the dirty cop-Mueller report on Thursday, Nightly News anchor Lester Holt lamented...
 “both volumes of this report likely falling with a thud for a lot of Democrats right now.” Capitol Hill correspondent Kasie Hunt agreed: “It did land with a thud, Lester, that’s right.”  However, the reporter still kept hope alive for liberal lawmakers pursuing impeachment of President Trump: So one of the big questions we had here on the Hill was whether or not dirty cop-Mueller was gonna say that this question about obstruction of justice was one for proceedings in Congress, and potentially impeachment proceedings. And I think there’s going to be a lot more here to work with and a lot more pressure for Democrats to continue to investigate this question of whether the President obstructed justice. While Hunt acknowledged that “there’s not a whole lot of appetite from the Speaker of the House to move forward with such a proceeding,” she touted how “the pressure is already ramping up on the left side of the Democratic Party, on their leaders, to try and take a stronger stand” against the President, using the dirty cop-Mueller report. Even when reporters admit that the Special Counsel’s investigation turned out to be a dud, they still find a way to push the case for impeachment.

Political Editors:  Nobody likes paying taxes, even the socialist and current front-running Democrat presidential candidate commie-Bernie Sanders. commie-Sanders appeared Monday on a Fox News town hall in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where host Bret Baier asked him why he personally filed taxes using the lower Republican tax rates that he had voted against. After all, commie-Sanders regularly and repeatedly derides wealthy Americans for “not paying their fair share.” commie-Sanders, the socialist that capitalism made a millionaire, clearly felt the burn of his hypocrisy being exposed. He responded smugly, “Pfft… Come on. … I am — I paid the taxes that I owe. … Why don’t you get Donald Trump up here and ask him how much he pays in taxes?”

But that wasn’t the end of commie-Sanders being challenged over his failure to live up to his own leftist “tax the wealthy” mantra. Baier’s cohost, Martha MacCallum, came back to the issue, asking commie-Sanders if he would be willing to abide by his call for a 52% tax on the wealthy and voluntarily give it up to the government. Rejecting the notion, commie-Sanders argued, “You can volunteer, too. … Martha, why don’t you give? You make more money than I do.” But MacCallum quickly countered, “I didn’t suggest a wealth tax.” And Baier astutely added, “And she’s not running for president.”

Like many politicians, commie-Sanders talks a big game, while at the same time being unwilling to live by his own loudly proclaimed principles. This gross hypocrisy is especially true for proponents of big-government solutions — the snake-oil salesmen of the political world.

A final note: commie-Sanders gave just 3% of his income to charity in 2017. Where commie-Bernie really wants to be “generous” is with your money.  ~The Patriot Post

The Most Dangerous and Treacherous Times in U.S. History! (Part 102A)-Posted on Tea Party Command Center-By Jake Martinez-On March 28, 2019:

http://teapartyorg.ning.com/profiles/blogs/the-most-dangerous-and-treacherous-times-in-u-s-history-part-10-1

The following recent thought-provoking article revealed that, on April 18, 2019, Attorney General William Barr held a press conference to delivered prepared remarks regarding the release of a slightly redacted version of Robert Mueller’s 400-page report on his two-year investigation into “Russian collusion” and that during the conference AG Barr revealed what we already knew, which is that there was 'no Russian collusion between President Trump or any member his campaign/staff, along with no obstruction by President Trump.'

It also revealed that during the press conference AG Barr emphasized that he would make available to a bipartisan group of leaders from several Congressional committees a version of the report with all redactions removed except for those relating to grand-jury information and that a more redacted version would be released to the public.

Additionally, it also warned us that for the foreseeable future pundits and armchair lawyers would be combing through Mueller’s report looking for anything that would support their presuppositions. The majority of the questions that AG Barr fielded during the conference were largely demanding that he answer for Democrat talking points designed to cast doubt upon AG Barr or President Trump. What else would anyone expect from the real collusion partners (Democrats) and their propagandists in the Leftmedia?  If True, what’s wrong, but not surprising about this picture?-You Decide:

dirty cop-Mueller looms over Dem investigations

politico.com } ~ After three months in power, House Democrats have finally hit their investigative stride. They’ve teed up invasive probes of President Donald Trump’s finances, uncorked subpoenas and set the stage for court battles... that could consume Washington through the 2020 election. But everything could change Thursday when Attorney General William Barr releases a redacted version of special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s long-anticipated report on the Trump campaign’s links to Russia. dirty cop-Mueller’s findings — and whether they’re damning, benign or too heavily redacted to understand — are certain to be a major factor guiding the direction of Democrats’ probes. Such a realignment may be inevitable. While Democrats have vowed to press on with their investigations regardless of dirty cop-Mueller’s report, they’ve continued to publicly lean on the special counsel’s findings in order to determine what comes next. According to a senior Democratic aide, the six House committees conducting Trump-related investigations will immediately determine which revelations in the report apply to which panel and where there might be overlap as lawmakers move forward...   https://www.politico.com/story/2019/04/16/mueller-report-democrat-investigations-1278093

bizpacreview.com } ~ For two years Democrats and their media allies bandied about the Russian collusion delusion conspiracy theory. But with that conspiracy finally debunked... the conspiracy loving far-left has, it would appear, chosen to seize upon a new and arguably dumber conspiracy theory. The new conspiracy theory posits that Attorney General Bill Barr’s decision to hold a press conference prior to the release of special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report Thursday afternoon is, in reality, part of a clandestine operation to fool the American people, or something. “This press conference, which apparently will not include Special Counsel dirty cop-Mueller, is unnecessary and inappropriate, and appears designed to shape public perceptions of the report before anyone can read it,” a slew of congressional Democrat leaders announced in a joint press release Wednesday, demanding that Barr cancel. The statement was signed by Judiciary Committee chair scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler, Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence chair scumbag-Adam B. Schiff, Committee on Oversight and Reform chair scumbag-Elijah Cummings, Financial Services Committee chair  scumbag/mad-Maxine Waters and Foreign Affairs Committee chair Eliot L. Engel. The leader of the pack, scumbag liar-Nadler, even held his own press conference. “Rather than letting the facts of the report speak for themselves, the attorney general has taken unprecedented steps to spin dirty cop-Mueller’s nearly two-year investigation,” he complained...

Did Israel Use the Supersonic Rampage

by Anna Ahronheim
jpost.com } ~ Israel’s Air Force reportedly used the supersonic Rampage stand-off air-to-surface missiles for the first time during a strike on Iranian positions in Syria last week... foreign media has reported. Israel allegedly struck a possible Iranian surface-to-surface missile factory in a Syrian base in Masyaf on Saturday. Satellite images released by Israeli intelligence firm ImageSat International (ISI) showed the complete destruction of the factory. “The main industrial structures were completely destroyed, including the main hangar and the adjacent three production hangers and buildings. The rest of the structures were affected and damaged by the blast,” ISI said, adding that they “assess that all the elements and/or equipment which were inside were completely destroyed as well.” According to Syria’s SANA news agency, Israeli jets fired the missiles from Lebanese airspace at about 2:30 Saturday morning. The factory, ISI said, is located in the vicinity of other facilities likely linked to Iran’s surface-to-surface missile project in Syria , which had previously been struck in alleged Israeli strikes carried out over the past two years. Dubbed “The Rampage,” after a popular video-game, the missile is a supersonic, long-range, accurate air-to-ground assault missile with a warhead, rocket engine and advanced navigation suit which allow for precision targeting. Amit Haimovich, director of marketing and business development for IAI’s MALAM engineering unit, told The Jerusalem Post in June that due to the combination of the Rampage’s speed and physical-form factor, “it can be detected but it is very hard to intercept.” “If you take the Middle East arena and areas protected by air defense systems, the whole point of this missile is that it can target within standoff ranges” without threatening the launching platform, he said...   https://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Did-Israel-use-the-supersonic-Rampage-to-strike-Iranian-targets-in-Syria-587279

China's Aggression in the South China Sea

gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ A long-standing territorial dispute between Beijing and Manila over Thitu Island also known as Pagasa, one of the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea... resurfaced in full force recently, when more than 200 Chinese boats were spotted in the vicinity of the island. Thitu Island is controlled and administered by the Philippines, and Filipino civilians  and  military personnel inhabit the island. Sovereignty over the island is claimed by the Philippines, China, Taiwan and Vietnam. Increased Chinese encroachment on the Spratly Islands -- and a recent "goodwill visit" of Russian Navy ships to the Philippines -- should be cause for alarm in Washington. In recent years, Beijing-Manila relations improved to the point where Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte and Chinese President Xi Jinping signed 29 cooperation agreements, including a memorandum of understanding on joint oil and gas development in the South China Sea. In response to criticism in the Philippines over what was viewed as Duterte's dangerous appeasement of Beijing -- which historically has failed to respect Manila's claimed maritime borders or its claimed rights to the South China Sea's valuable resources -- Duterte justified his position on the grounds that "China is in the South China Sea... that is the reality, and America and everybody should realize that they are there." The sighting of the Chinese vessels near Thitu, however, concerned even Duterte, who told Beijing to "lay off" the island, yet stopped short of threatening military action. This is where the United States and Russia come into play...

Mexico Says It Will Restrict

by libertyheadlines.com:  Mexico said Wednesday that central American migrants will be given “regional visitor cards” near the Guatemalan border that restrict their movement to the south of the country... impeding their ability to reach the United States. The restriction will be a blow to tens of thousands of migrants, fleeing the poverty and violence at home, who enter southern Mexico and travel across the country in so-called “caravans” in an attempt to seek asylum in the US. The cards will be given out in the southeastern city of Tapachula, where Mexican media report there are around 5,000 would-be migrants planning to head to the US. “In appropriate cases, for nationals of neighboring countries, a Regional Visitor Card will be issued which allows multiple entries and exits from the country but with the possibility of mobility only in the southern states,” Mexico’s National Migration Institute said in a statement.US President Donald Trump has warned of a raft of sanctions — including closing official border crossings — unless Mexico cracks down on migrants. He made illegal immigration a cornerstone of his populist election platform, insisting the US is flooded with migrants and asylum seekers and promising to build a border wall across the length of the south. It is not clear what effect issuing regional visitor cards will have on the caravans given many of the migrants have entered Mexico illegally anyway.   https://www.libertyheadlines.com/mexico-restrict-migrants-borders/

Nate Jackson:  Attorney General William Barr held a press conference this morning to discuss the release of a slightly redacted version of dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s 400-page report on his two-year investigation into “Russian collusion.” In a Friday afternoon news dump on March 22, dirty cop-Mueller sent his report to the Justice Department. Two days later, Barr issued his four-page executive summary of it, showing that dirty cop-Mueller concluded two things: First, Donald Trump did not collude with Russia as Democrats have alleged for more than two years, and, second, it was inconclusive whether Trump had obstructed justice in the process of the investigation. The latter provided Democrats all the opening they needed to move into Phase Two — obstructing the MAGA agenda.

Naturally, Democrats and their Leftmedia outlets also spent the intervening time insisting that Barr is hiding something and that dirty cop-Mueller’s report is actually incriminating against the president. Heads they win, tails Trump loses. Their goal is painfully obvious: Keep Trump on the political ropes with churned fake news through the 2020 election. After all, this collusion narrative propelled Democrats to victory in the 2018 election — ensuring that Vladimir Putin did interfere with American elections.

Even before Barr’s press conference, Senate Minority Leader Chuck scumbag-Schumer called it “pre-damage control” from Barr, who “is acting more like a Trump campaign spokesman than an independent agent of the law.” In a joint statement with House Speaker Nancy Pulosi, scumbag-Chuck and Nancy complained about Barr’s “regrettably partisan handling of the dirty cop-Mueller report.” And they’re just objective bystanders.

With that setup, Barr faced America today and said, “As the Special Counsel’s report makes clear, the Russian government sought to interfere in [the 2016] election. But thanks to the special counsel’s thorough investigation, we now know that the Russian operatives who perpetrated these schemes did not have the cooperation of President Trump or the Trump campaign — or the knowing assistance of any other Americans for that matter.”

Moreover, in the matter of the hacked DNC and scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign emails, Barr noted, “The special counsel’s report did not find any evidence that members of the Trump campaign or anyone associated with the campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its hacking operations. In other words, there was no evidence of Trump campaign ‘collusion’ with the Russian government’s hacking.”

The bottom line, says Barr: “After nearly two years of investigation, thousands of subpoenas, and hundreds of warrants and witness interviews, the special counsel confirmed that the Russian government sponsored efforts to illegally interfere with the 2016 presidential election but did not find that the Trump campaign or other Americans colluded in those schemes.”

On the question of obstruction, Barr noted that dirty cop-Mueller “recounts 10 episodes involving the president” to consider a possible obstruction offense. dirty cop-Mueller was inconclusive, but Barr said, “After carefully reviewing the facts and legal theories outlined in the report, and in consultation with the Office of Legal Counsel and other Department lawyers, the Deputy Attorney General and I concluded that the evidence developed by the Special Counsel is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction-of-justice offense.”

Barr explained that decision:

In assessing the president’s actions discussed in the report, it is important to bear in mind the context. President Trump faced an unprecedented situation. As he entered into office, and sought to perform his responsibilities as president, federal agents and prosecutors were scrutinizing his conduct before and after taking office, and the conduct of some of his associates. At the same time, there was relentless speculation in the news media about the president’s personal culpability. Yet, as he said from the beginning, there was in fact no collusion. And as the special counsel’s report acknowledges, there is substantial evidence to show that the president was frustrated and angered by a sincere belief that the investigation was undermining his presidency, propelled by his political opponents, and fueled by illegal leaks. Nonetheless, the White House fully cooperated with the special counsel’s investigation, providing unfettered access to campaign and White House documents, directing senior aides to testify freely, and asserting no privilege claims. And at the same time, the president took no act that in fact deprived the special counsel of the documents and witnesses necessary to complete his investigation. Apart from whether the acts were obstructive, this evidence of non-corrupt motives weighs heavily against any allegation that the president had a corrupt intent to obstruct the investigation.

Let’s emphasize one line: “The White House fully cooperated with the special counsel’s investigation, providing unfettered access to campaign and White House documents, directing senior aides to testify freely, and asserting no privilege claims.” That utterly undercuts the Left’s obstruction claims.

Finally, addressing the question of what was redacted and by whom, Barr asserted that only DOJ attorneys working with the Special Counsel’s Office determined all redactions under four categories — grand-jury information, classified information, information related to ongoing investigations, and information that would violate privacy of individuals. President Trump and his lawyers did not request redactions or claim executive privilege in seeking to block the release of any part of the report. That release, by the way, is not the norm. These reports are not created for release.

Barr emphasized, “We will make available to a bipartisan group of leaders from several Congressional committees a version of the report with all redactions removed except those relating to grand-jury information.” The more redacted version has been released to the public.

Now, stay tuned for the foreseeable future as pundits and armchair lawyers comb through dirty cop-Mueller’s report looking for something — anything — to support their presuppositions. Indeed, the questions Barr fielded were largely demanding that he answer for Democrat talking points designed to cast doubt upon Barr or Trump. What else would anyone expect from the real collusion partners — Democrats and their propagandists in the Leftmedia?  ~The Patriot Post

Democrats Move the Goalposts Again
by Steve Feinstein

americanthinker.com } ~ The ridiculously long, drawn out, overdone "Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election" investigation proves an ages-old political maxim..
. the benchmark of proof that a political accusation has to satisfy in order to be considered true will constantly change as the needs of the accuser shift in response to new information. In other words, if the original charge proves to be baseless, the complainants will invariably lower the threshold of guilt so that even a lesser transgression will be sufficient to condemn the accused. President Trump is the latest example of that. Let's be candid here — everything about President Trump is anathema to the Democrats. 
*He beat scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton, depriving the Democrats of boasting how they elected the country's first female president.
*He is direct, unequivocal, and absolute in his policy pronouncements, eschewing the usual "nod-nod, wink-wink" of Washington speak. What makes it even worse is that President Trump's policy pronouncements are conservative, and his direct, clear-meaning speech rips the cover off years of oh, so carefully developed liberal deceptions.
*President Trump calls out the Democrat-sympathetic liberal media for who they are, enraging his enemies for not rolling over and meekly accepting mistreatment at the hands of his liberal opponents the way his milquetoast Republican predecessors did.
*His policies — the withdrawal from the Paris Accords, his dismissal of the Iranian nuclear agreements, his tough stance regarding NATO paying its fair share, his position on border security and illegal immigration, his desire for greater domestic American energy production, the re-negotiation of international trade agreements to be more advantageous to this country, and many others — are so blatantly pro-American and popular with the average voter that the supposedly sophisticated liberal Democratic intelligentsia are infuriated over the way his approach resonates in such a positive, commonsense manner with so many people. 
Therefore, with Democrats unable to accept Trump's 2016 victory no surprise, really, in light of how they and the liberal media refused to accept George W. Bush's election victory over scumbag-Gore in 2000 or Bush's defeat of hanoi-John Kerry in 2004, blaming that on Ohio voting irregularities and unscrupulous, deceptive "Swiftboating" attacks, the Democratic Party desperately searched for a reason to explain scumbag/liar-Hillary's defeat, a reason they could take to the general public and convince them that Trump's election win was illegitimate. At the best, the Democrats hoped to somehow delegitimize his victory, and have it voided by some vague, never explained, nonexistent legal mechanism; at the very least, they hoped to sully him so badly that they'd force a disgraced resignation or completely torpedo any possibility of his re-election in 2020. Hence, the dirty cop-Mueller investigation was born. It's not necessary to recount here the questionable basis on which the investigation was founded, the highly partisan make-up of the roster of "impartial" investigators, or the blatantly improper legal procedures that were swept under the rug by both the dirty cop-Mueller panel and the liberal media such as the erroneously granted, baseless FISA warrants. These are all well known and have been documented before in great detail...

dirty cop-Mueller report shows probe did not

by Brooke Singman  
{foxnews.com} ~ After two years of suspense, Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report was released into Washington’s partisan scrum Thursday showing... investigators did not find evidence of collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia – as Attorney General Bill Barr declared last month – but revealing an array of controversial actions by the president that were examined as part of the investigation’s obstruction inquiry. This included President Trump allegedly telling his White House counsel in June 2017 to inform the acting attorney general that dirty cop-Mueller had conflicts of interest and "must be removed." The report said Trump also fumed over the original appointment -- lamenting it would mean the "end of my presidency" -- first telling then-DOJ leader Jeff Sessions he should resign, and later trying to get Session to take back control of the probe. dirty cop-Mueller ultimately did not reach a conclusion on whether the president's conduct amounted to obstruction, stating: "While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him." But even though Barr's DOJ determined they did not have evidence to pursue such a case, the details in the report only fueled Democrats' mounting calls to not only see the unredacted report but have dirty cop-Mueller testify. "This is exactly why we need to hear directly from Special Counsel dirty cop-Mueller and receive the full, unredacted report with the underlying evidence," House Judiciary Committee Chairman scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler tweeted, highlighting that section. Trump and his legal team, though, declared victory upon the release of the report. "No collusion, no obstruction," Trump said. The swift reactions indicated the release of the report is only likely to fuel, not quiet, the long-raging debate in Washington over the Russia probe and serve as fodder going into the 2020 election year...
Top Democrat calling for full dirty cop- Mueller 
report had different view when scumbag/liar-
Bill Clinton was investigated
by Jerry Dunleavy

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Rep. scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is the leading Democrat demanding the release of the dirty cop-Mueller Report “in its entirety” without redactions... 
His committee is planning to subpoena the Justice Department for the full report. But back in 1998, as a member of the same committee, he vociferously opposed the release of the full Starr Report, saying that “as a matter of decency and protecting people’s privacy rights, people who may be totally innocent third parties, what must not be released at all.” Then, the president was scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton. Now, it is a Republican, Donald Trump. Ken Starr, the independent counsel investigating then-President scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton, delivered his report to Congress on Sept. 9, 1998. That night, scumbag liar-Nadler went on Charlie Rose's show to push back against the Republican demand that the voluminous report should be made public. “It’s grand jury material. It represents statements which may or may not be true by various witnesses," scumbag liar-Nadler said. "Salacious material. All kinds of material that it would be unfair to release,” What scumbag liar-Nadler, 71, said in 1998 echoes what Attorney General William Barr told Congress last week. Barr, 68, wrote that he might redact grand jury testimony, information related to ongoing investigations, sensitive or classified information, and “information that would unduly infringe on the personal privacy and reputational interests of peripheral third parties” from the report that he provides to Congress and the public...   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/top-democrat-calling-for-full-mueller-report-had-different-view-when-bill-clinton-was-investigated

nationalreview.com } ~ The Justice Department on Thursday morning delivered a redacted version of Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s final report to Congress... Attorney General William Barr presented the House and Senate Judiciary Committees with copies of the redacted report, which was also published on the Justice Department website. Barr held a press conference earlier in the morning in which he said President Trump and Trump’s lawyers offered no input on any of the redactions. “No material has been redacted based on executive privilege,” Barr said. “The president’s personal lawyers were not permitted to make, and did not request, any redactions.” dirty cop-Mueller’s team was not able to reach a conclusion that “no criminal conduct occurred,” according to the report.“The evidence we obtained about the President’s actions and intent presents difficult issues that prevent us from conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred,” the report says. “Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.” The report added that Congress still has the authority to find Trump obstructed justice, i.e. to “prohibit a President’s corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice.” The special counsel’s team also said it concluded that it could have subpoenaed Trump to testify, but decided against it in the interest of avoiding the “substantial delay that such an investigative step would likely produce at a late stage in our investigation.” “We had sufficient evidence to understand relevant events and to make certain assessments without the President’s testimony,” the report says. Many Democrats, including House Intelligence Committee chairman scumbag-Adam Schiff, have requested Mueller testify on Capitol Hill about the report... Thats not going to happen.

Socialist eras and errors: Accounting for the popularity of commie-Bernie and commie-AOC
by Clifford D. May  

fdd.org } ~ Socialism is cool again, thanks not least to septuagenarian Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders and millennial Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (aka AOC). Socialism has been cool before, of course, notably during the Great Depression...
 and what became known as the Sixties, the era of Vietnam, the civil rights movement, hippies, and the old New Left. As a reporter for my high school newspaper in the later period I interviewed Earl Browder, who had been general secretary of the Communist Party USA during the 1930s. He coined the slogan: “Communism is 20th century Americanism.” I read a fair amount about socialism back then and, on my application to a reasonably prestigious college, I named Norman Thomas, six-time presidential candidate of the Socialist Party of America, as someone I admired. Had I chosen William F. Buckley instead I suspect I’d have wound up at a lesser institution. The summer preceding my freshman year – exactly 50 years ago, I’m afraid – I went to the Soviet Union on a study program. Like Mr. commie-Sanders, I was impressed by Moscow’s subways he called them“absolutely beautiful, including many works of art, chandeliers that were beautiful” and by the “palaces of culture” and the theaters where, he enthused, “the highest price of a ticket that you could get was the equivalent of $1.50!” I decided to major in Russian and, a couple of years later, won a place on the only undergraduate exchange program between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. A little learning can be dangerous: I soon comprehended what Mr. commie-Sanders never has: Communism is toxic to freedom and prosperity. Yes, theater tickets were cheap but, like other luxuries and even many necessities, such goods were obtainable only po blatu – through political power, wielded exclusively by the nomenkatura, the communist elite...

Flooding the Sanctuary Zones

Cal Thomas

 

In the category of Mad magazine’s “scenes we’d like to see,” comes President Trump’s threat to transport migrants to cities and states that have declared themselves sanctuaries. Apparently he thinks such a move would force Democrats in Congress who represent these places to vote to fund the wall along our southern border.

Speaker Nancy Pulosi calls the president’s threat “unworthy of the presidency.” In fact, it is Congress that has been unworthy for a long time. Here is a body that passes laws everyone else must obey, but in too many cases is exempt from adhering to some of them.

In 1995, the House and Senate passed the Congressional Accountability Act, which finally applied many civil rights, labor and workplace safety statutes to the legislative branch, yet two very important laws, the Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act, do not apply to Congress. There are others.

Wealthy members of Congress might take offense should immigrants move into their neighborhoods. They don’t seem to care about the harm caused to ranchers and other property owners in states along the southern border.

Legal experts say it would be illegal under current law to move people to sanctuary cities and states. This crosses the border of ridiculousness. Some governors and mayors are protecting those who enter the country illegally from the law. If they were protecting other lawbreakers — drug dealers, or murderers, for example (which the president argues they are) — the law would consider them accessories after the fact and they would face prosecution and prison time. But because politicians refuse to update laws that are full of loopholes the current problem is their doing.

For those unfamiliar with the concept of sanctuary cities, here is a short lesson. Sanctuary cities were established in Old Testament law (Numbers 35:11) to protect someone who had killed another person by accident and without malice aforethought from “the avenger of blood,” who might be a close relative of the dead person. Under the priestly code, the accused was removed from the city and put on trial. If he was found innocent of murder, he was returned under guard to the sanctuary city in which he had claimed asylum. He enjoyed protection until the Jewish high priest died, at which point he was free to leave the city without fear of harm.

The Mishnah, the oral law given alongside the written Torah, states that the high priest’s mother (not the government) would traditionally supply clothing and food to those claiming asylum in the cities of refuge, so that relatives of the dead person would not wish for the death of her son because he harbored the accused. The Talmud argues that the natural death of the high priest was a type of atonement because he was considered pious. Maimonides argued that the death of the high priest was an event so upsetting to the Israelites that they dropped all thoughts of vengeance.

Today’s sanctuary cities and states have nothing to do with their original intent or outcome. Those living in this country without legal permission have broken the law, but are simultaneously protected by the law. Does this make sense? Name other laws American citizens could break and not be held accountable. Try breaking the tax laws this week and see where that gets you.

One of the president’s problems has been his lack of focus. He throws proposals against a congressional wall to see if any will stick. He should stick with one and bring public opinion with him. The ultimate solution lies with a do-nothing Congress and only it can solve the problem. For political reasons, members of both parties refuse to do so. Those who support sanctuary cities ought to experience the consequences of that support in their own front and backyards.  ~The Patriot Post

Barr told lawmakers last month dirty cop-Mueller had completed his investigation and released a four-page summary of dirtt cop-Mueller’s findings. According to Barr, dirty cop-Mueller concluded the Trump campaign did not collude with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election. dirty cop-Mueller did not establish whether or not Trump obstructed justice, but Barr said he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein concluded there was insufficient evidence to charge the president with obstruction. dirty cop-Mueller’s nearly 400-page report describes the legal analysis and factual findings that support the conclusions previously shared by Barr.

dirty cop-Mueller Report: 
Dems Bash Barr to Keep Hype Alive

{spectator.org} ~ Thursday morning, the Justice Department will release the 400-page report outlining how special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller squandered $34 million to conclude that an implausible conspiracy theory was unsupported by objective evidence... Even at $85,000 per page, it’s unlikely that this document contains anything of substance that we didn’t already know after Attorney General William Barr distilled it down to 4 pages last month. Yet the Democrats and the “news” media continue their desperate attempts to keep hype alive with new conspiracy theories about a “cover-up” as well as demands to see parts of the report to which federal law forbids them access. The DOJ has announced that Attorney General Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein will hold a joint news conference Thursday at 9:30 a.m. to discuss dirty cop-Mueller’s investigation. Presumably, they will attempt to make it clear — even to the “reporters” of the legacy media — why it isn’t possible to release an un-redacted copy of the dirty cop-Mueller report. Rosenstein’s planned presence at this news conference also suggests that they will endeavor to explain why, as Barr wrote in his March letter to Congress, “The evidence developed during the special counsel’s investigation is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction of justice offense.” That letter has been used by the Democrats to level charges of dark doings in the Justice Department under the new Attorney General. Barr is well known in Washington, having served in a variety of high-profile DOJ positions, including Attorney General in the George H.W. Bush administration. And, until he replaced the acting A.G. in the Trump Justice Department, Barr was highly regarded by intelligent Beltway insiders across the ideological spectrum. All that changed when the dirty cop-Mueller report killed the collusion hoax and Barr reported that fact to Congress. Now, it would seem that Barr himself is in league with Russia, as Newsweek breathlessly reports: This much is known: On Barr’s public financial disclosure report, he admits to working for a law firm that represented Russia’s Alfa Bank and for a company whose co-founders allegedly have long-standing business ties to Russia. What’s more, he received dividends from Vector Group, a holding company with deep financial ties to Russia.… Much of the information is public, but it has so far been unreported in relation to Barr. Oddly, this issue was conspicuous by its absence during Barr’s confirmation hearings. At that time, the Democrats were far more interested in what they styled his “audition letter,” written in June of 2018 to Deputy A.G. Rod Rosenstein. This 19-page memorandum contained what the “get Trump” crowd saw as brazen heresy. Specifically, Barr objected to the special counsel’s demand that the President submit to an interview pursuant to possible obstruction of justice...

The dirty cop-Mueller report: 
A constitutional fight worth having
rEcpawnGJpfKVOHabH42c9FLaOJlYObCsDW8o98-haO3CHWcYf7FoIu6sRw0rBt-qRdURldqzUhD9bX7mc9wRcHFOFuiI6UWpOeyu6iBzPCi_4uQz_lYuKrljw6r=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
by Gary J. Schmitt 
aei.org } ~ In yesterday’s Washington Post, Amber Phillips wrote a piece on “How the Legal Battle for the Full dirty cop-Mueller Report Could Play Out...” At issue is Congress’ demand — or, more exactly, Democrat-led committees in the House are demanding — to see the dirty cop-Mueller Report in full. No cuts, no redactions to the 400 pages of text. Meanwhile, Attorney General William Barr is only promising to deliver to Congress a version of the report that will redact (black out) sections of the text that consist of grand jury duty testimony, sensitive intelligence matters, ongoing investigations, or material that unduly touches on the privacy of individuals but, in his estimation, is not necessary to understand the underlying findings of the report.  Phillips notes that the most likely first step for House Democrats if Barr hands over a highly redacted version of the report is to issue a subpoena for the full report. Indeed, Rep. scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), House Judiciary Committee Chair, has already had his committee members vote to give him that authority. And Rep. scumbag liar-Nadler has already made it clear that, if his subpoena is ignored by the Justice Department, he is willing to go to the federal courts, even up to the Supreme Court, in an effort to enforce the subpoena’s execution. Phillips then quotes lawyers who have opposite opinions about whether scumbag liar-Nadler’s turn to the courts would work. What is missing from Phillips’ piece and similar pieces is the consideration that this might be one of those instances in which we find both the AG and a committee upholding constitutionally sound but contradictory principles. The executive branch in the person of the Attorney General has an obligation under the law to protect grand jury information and, as a subordinate officer of the president, an obligation to protect intelligence sources and methods. Congress, on the other hand, has oversight responsibilities requiring access to information — information that it has every right to insist, as a co-equal branch of government, that it be the judge of whether the information supplied is adequate to the task of oversight. In short, neither branch is, in constitutional theory, wrong in its assertions here. What is problematic is asking the Court to issue a precedent-setting opinion in a matter that is likely to tilt future disagreements of this kind in favor of one branch over another and do so regardless of the particulars of some future dispute. The last thing the Supreme Court should be deciding is which position is “more correct” when in fact both branches have legitimate, if conflicting, claims. The Court would be taking on a Solomon-esque role it was never intended to have.

U.S. Intelligence Institutionally 
Politicized Toward Democrats

freebeacon.com } ~ The CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies have become bastions of political liberals and the pro-Democratic Party views of intelligence personnel have increased under President Donald Trump... according to a journal article by a former CIA analyst. John Gentry, who spent 12 years as a CIA analyst, criticized former senior intelligence leaders, including CIA Director scumbag/commie-John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence scumbag-James Clapper, and former deputy CIA director Michael Morell, along with former analyst Paul Pillar, for breaking decades-long prohibitions of publicly airing their liberal political views in attacking Trump. The institutional bias outlined in a lengthy article in the quarterly International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence risks undermining the role of intelligence in support of government leaders charged with making policy decisions. Gentry stopped short of saying the widespread liberal bias of intelligence officials has influenced intelligence reports and products. However, he concludes that "bias may have crept into CIA analyses." "A considerable body of evidence, much of it fragmentary, indicates that many CIA people have left-leaning political preferences, but less evidence shows that political bias influences CIA analyses," Gentry concludes. In the past, intelligence politicization was defined as either skewing intelligence to fit biases or manipulating intelligence by those outside the intelligence community. "But in 2016 observers of U.S. intelligence began to wonder if the CIA's once-firm prohibition on partisan politics had changed, and to ponder whether a new kind of politicization had arisen: namely, institutionally embedded, partisan bias," Gentry wrote...

Trump's Sanctuary Strategy
O1VjaytAPuCWL4G-vlFLgox9f1IiB4wB1PHv1Impshnd0nXcEsvIqSaDvnQiMWulXyJAOITcelWqNoIqPmUFT4cEqEf0VTU0C5AuCkbF7BZ0wrMfwOsF035BsGcTyEy-HExx0vI7flKHc_JLQHCixWPkQqOYHda7IBnU54U=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Gary Bauer:  President Trump once again dominated the immigration debate over the last several days when reports leaked out that he was interested in sending illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities.

The president tweeted, “The Radical Left always seems to have an Open Borders, Open Arms policy — so this should make them very happy!”

You’d think so, right? Yet for days now, many progressive leaders have been denouncing Trump for daring to suggest he just might give them what they want. 

The mayor of Seattle called Trump “a despot.” A spokeswoman for Nancy Pulosi, who represents the sanctuary city of San Francisco, blasted the president’s idea as “cruel,” “warped” and “despicable." 

Not long ago, Cher urged progressives to adopt DACA recipients and to give these illegal immigrants "sanctuary” in their homes. But in response to Trump’s latest suggestion, Cher tweeted this:

I Understand Helping struggling Immigrants, but MY CITY (Los Angeles) ISN’T TAKING CARE OF ITS OWN. WHAT ABOUT THE 50,000+ Citizens WHO LIVE ON THE STREETS. PPL WHO LIVE BELOW POVERTY LINE, & HUNGRY? If My State Can’t Take Care of Its Own (Many Are VETS) How Can it Take Care Of More.

That’s a great question. It deserves a real debate. I commend the president for getting at least one Hollywood liberal to focus on the impact of open borders on ordinary Americans. Is she going to re-register as a Republican?

Let me briefly remind you of what President Trump has tried to do.

  • He wanted full funding for a border wall to stop illegal immigration. Progressives in Congress gave him as little as possible.

  • He wanted to station more troops at the border. But liberal governors pulled their National Guard troops and some deep state officials in the Pentagon resisted.

  • He wanted migrants claiming asylum to wait in Mexico while their claims were adjudicated. But a liberal judge blocked him.

  • He tried to end scumbag/liar-nObama’s unconstitutional DACA program. But liberal judges blocked him.

  • He tried to block funding to sanctuary cities. But a liberal judge blocked him.

  • He offered a very generous immigration deal exchanging protections for DACA recipients for border wall funding. Congressional liberals blocked it.

I think you get the point.

And what has the left proposed? Well, nothing really. In spite of record apprehensions, left-wing politicians insist there’s no crisis at the border. 

The left’s radical agenda is deeply unpopular. For example:

  • 76% of voters oppose open borders.

  • 71% of voters oppose letting illegal immigrants vote in local elections.

  • 64% of voters oppose sanctuary cities.

  • Only 25% of voters support abolishing ICE.

Republicans used to label liberal politicians “San Francisco Democrats.” Trump is successfully labeling his open borders opponents “Sanctuary City Democrats.”  ~The Patriot Post

Media Editors:  BARR SPEAKS:: “U.S. Attorney General William Barr on Thursday offered a spirited defense of President Donald Trump ahead of the release of Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report on Russia’s role in the 2016 U.S. election, but revealed that it detailed 10 episodes of potential obstruction of justice by the president. … Barr said he and Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed dirty cop-Mueller as special counsel in May 2017, ‘disagreed with some of the special counsel’s legal theories and felt that some of the episodes examined did not amount to obstruction as a matter of law.’” (Reuters)
.
KIM’S SABER-RATTLING: “North Korea said Thursday that it had test-fired a new type of ‘tactical guided weapon,’ its first such test in nearly half a year, and demanded that Washington remove Secretary of State Mike Pompeo from nuclear negotiations. … It said Pompeo’s continued participation in the negotiations would ensure that the talks become ‘entangled’ and called for a different counterpart who is ‘more careful and mature in communicating with us.’” (Associated Press)
.
OFF THE HOOK: “Amazon, Netflix, General Motors, Chevron, JetBlue, IBM and U.S. Steel were all among the companies that avoided taxes last year using a diverse array of loopholes and tax breaks, according to a new report from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a nonpartisan think-tank. … In total, the 60 companies paid no federal income tax on $79 billion in U.S. pretax income, according to the study. And instead of paying $16.4 billion in taxes at the 21 percent corporate rate, the companies received a corporate tax rebate of $4.3 billion. … According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, the tax law is set to save U.S. companies $1.4 trillion by 2027.” (Fox Business)
.
ST. PATRICK’S CATHEDRAL ATTACK THWARTED? “A man was taken into custody in New York Wednesday night after entering St. Patrick’s Cathedral carrying two canisters of gasoline, two bottles of lighter fluid and two butane lighters, authorities said. … It is too early to consider terrorism but ‘I think, if added to that the events at the iconic location of Notre Dame and all of the publicity around that, I think this is an indicator of something that would be very suspicious,’ John Miller, deputy commissioner of intelligence & counterterrorism of the NYPD, said.” (Fox News)
.
HUD’S ILLEGAL-IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN: “The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) plans to crack down on illegal aliens who are taking advantage of public house assistance programs. … The new rule would prevent illegal aliens from living in homes that receive HUD funding, even if they’re not the ones actually receiving the assistance. Those who are caught with illegal aliens living in their homes will have to comply with the new rule or move to a different non-HUD location.” (Townhall)
.
NEW CONSTRAINTS ON CUBA: “The Trump administration announced Wednesday that the U.S. will tighten restrictions on travel to Cuba, allowing only family visits to the island. … [National Security Advisor John] Bolton also announced that money sent to family members in Cuba would now be limited to $1,000 per person every three months, a change from the scumbag/liar-nObama administration policy that allowed unlimited remittances. ‘In no uncertain terms, the scumbag/liar-nObama administration’s policies toward Cuba have enabled the Cuban colonization of Venezuela today,’ Bolton said. ‘These new measures will help steer Americans dollars away from the Cuban regime.’” (National Review)
.
DC’S HOMELESS SCHEME BACKFIRES: “D.C. lawmakers, in all of their wisdom, determined that poor, homeless people should be entitled to better housing than most middle-income earners. It went as well as anyone could have predicted. … The sudden inflow of poor D.C. residents into one pricey apartment complex has led to new complaints of ‘panhandling, marijuana smoke in the halls and feces discovered on a landing in the stairwell,’ according to the [Washington Post].” (Washington Examiner)
.
FIRST, DO NO HARM: “Dozens of medical professionals in seven states were charged Wednesday with participating in the illegal prescribing of more than 32 million pain pills, including doctors who prosecutors said traded sex for prescriptions and a dentist who unnecessarily pulled teeth from patients to justify giving them opioids. The 60 people indicted include 31 doctors, seven pharmacists, eight nurse practitioners and seven other licensed medical professionals.” (The Washington Post)

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Attorney General William Barr revealed Thursday that special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller examined 10 instances involving actions by President Trump that may have constituted obstruction of justice... “The report recounts 10 episodes involving the president and discusses potential legal theories for connecting these actions to elements of an obstruction offense,” Barr said during a news conference. dirty cop-Mueller completed his nearly two-year-long investigation into whether members of the Trump campaign colluded with Russia and whether the president obstructed justice last month. Since then, the attorney general has been working with dirty cop-Mueller to redact four categories of information, and dirty cop-Mueller’s report will be released to the public Thursday after it is sent to congressional leaders. dirty cop-Mueller did not make a determination about whether Trump obstructed justice with his actions across the span of the probe, but instead laid out the evidence on both sides, Barr told lawmakers in a letter last month summarizing dirt5y cop-Mueller's principal conclusions. The special counsel did, however, state that while his report “does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him,” Barr wrote in his letter. Instead, it was Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein who concluded that there was not enough evidence to establish whether Trump obstructed justice...

dirty cop-Mueller Team Leaks: It’s All About “Obstruction”…This is Going to be Epic

theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ This will not come as a surprise to anyone who has followed closely; however, according to the FBI’s primary narrative engineer, Devlin Barrett at the Washington Post, the dirty cop-Mueller team has invested most heavily in “obstruction, obstruction, obstruction”… For two years 19 lawyers were piecing the script together; while 40 FBI agents used 2,800 subpoenas, 230 orders for communication records, national security letters, FISA authorization, wiretaps, 50 pen register authorizations, and over 500 Title III search warrants to scour the background of every private communication, phone call, text message and email of everyone in the Trump orbit. Eventually interviewing over 500 witnesses for words to paste into the text of the dirty cop-Mueller/Weissmann obstruction report. The Justice Department plans to release a lightly redacted version of special counsel dirty cop-Robert S. Mueller III’s 400-page report Thursday, offering a granular look at the ways in which President Trump was suspected of having obstructed justice, people familiar with the matter said. The report — the general outlines of which the Justice Department has briefed the White House on — will reveal that dirty cop-Mueller decided he could not come to a conclusion on the question of obstruction because it was difficult to determine Trump’s intent and because some of his actions could be interpreted innocently, these people said. But it will offer a detailed blow-by-blow of the president’s alleged conduct — analyzing tweets, private threats and other episodes at the center of dirty cop-Mueller’s inquiry, they added...

bloomberg.com } ~ Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin plans to hire a regular Fox News guest, Monica Crowley, as his top spokeswoman... according to people familiar with the matter, as he seeks to tout the GOP’s tax cuts and navigate Democrats’ demands for the president’s tax returns. Crowley will be assistant secretary for public affairs, replacing Tony Sayegh, who departs at the end of May after more than two years with Mnuchin, the people said. Crowley and a Treasury spokesman didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. President Donald Trump planned to appoint Crowley to a position at the National Security Council in his White House, but she withdrew from consideration in January 2017 after CNN reported that she had plagiarized portions of her 2012 book and Politico reported that she had plagiarized portions of her 2000 Ph.D. thesis. Crowley said in a Fox News interview that the reports were a “political hit job.” She is also a former foreign agent. Crowley registered with the Justice Department in March 2017 to work with a Democratic political consultant, Doug Schoen, who represented Ukrainian billionaire Victor Pinchuk. She terminated her relationship with Pinchuk on Feb. 1, 2018, according to a document Schoen filed. Crowley’s only job for Pinchuk was to help him arrange his annual Yalta European Strategy conference, a person familiar with the situation told Bloomberg News. Speakers at the event in Kiev that year, known as the YES conference, included former Secretary of State hanoi-John Kerry; John Bolton, before he was appointed Trump’s national security adviser; the president of the Council on Foreign Relations, Richard Haass; former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice; economist Paul Krugman and other Americans. White House and Treasury Department officials are aware of Crowley’s work for Pinchuk, the person said. The person asked not to be identified because Crowley’s appointment hasn’t been announced... Update she was hired.

Rashida Tlaib Calls for 
Hunger Strikes to ‘Shut Down ICE’

freebeacon.com } ~ Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) urged her supporters to join her in a hunger strike to push for action to "shut down" U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)... arguing the radical push to abolish ICE can't be achieved by Congress. Tlaib, headlining a Detroit fundraiser this past weekend for the Michigan Coalition for Human Rights, complained of colleagues who are constantly "policing" what she says and lack willingness to embrace bold stands such as abolishing ICE. She called on her activist audience to join her in a hunger strike at the border. "It's going to take movements outside the halls of Congress," Tlaib told the crowd, according to video captured by America Rising, a conservative group. "I want you all to shut them down, we can shut them down," Tlaib said to applause. "Don't wait for this Congress to act, shut them down.""I know what they're going to say, they'll go, ‘What do you mean Rashida?' Well I'll tell you. There are some people that are using hunger strike, all these other things, going to the border, and I plan to." Tlaib's office did not respond to a request for comment on the call for hunger strike and whether any planning was ongoing. Tlaib's full remarks to the group were highly critical of her Democratic colleagues in leadership. She said many were too "strategic," and reject bold plans like hers to abolish ICE because they're "not ready for that now." She reiterated a sentiment expressed on Saturday in defense of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) that party leadership uses the women of color in the freshman class to look diverse. "They put us in photos when they want to show our party is diverse," Tlaib said. "However, when we ask to be at the table, or speak up about issues that impact who we are, what we fight for and why we ran in the first place, we are ignored." She also said her speech is policed by colleagues and the media... This call will fail just as her in office.   https://freebeacon.com/politics/rashida-tlaib-calls-for-hunger-strikes-to-shut-down-ice/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=64cff1ecc4-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_17_08_20_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-64cff1ecc4-45611665

City of Yuma, Arizona Declares 
State of Emergency

aim.org } ~ The city of Yuma, Arizona has officially declared a state of emergency due to the high number of migrants crossing over... On Monday, Mayor Doug Nicholls issued a formal state of emergency with Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey’s support. A spokesperson for Ducey said, “Ultimately, this humanitarian crisis is the result of Congress’ failure to act. It will only be solved by Congress actually doing something, and the governor has vocally urged Congress to quit playing politics and take action.” Yuma is the first city to declare a state of emergency, and the U.S. is still on track for 1 million apprehensions by the end of the fiscal year. In a press conference, Nicholls said that Tuesday was the breaking point he had talked about three weeks ago. By declaring a state of emergency, the city hopes to receive resources from FEMA. One of the biggest setbacks the city has is the limited bus routes to take migrants to their final destinations. Migrants in Yuma struggle to purchase transportation tickets, thus they stay for a longer duration in the housing shelters. On Monday, Nicholls announced the housing shelters were at their full capacity. The city of Yuma also had to pull border patrol agents from surrounding areas to help process the surge of migrants. Border patrol officials have said they need more resources and support along the southern border. Yuma’s declaration for a state of emergency comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s push for Democrats to do something about the growing southern border crisis...

Assange Was Not Right
Li8IeaH6gdbaN0EY-R1cUZu5ipLXoOfafV8s9ofI_TbXy4gYgJ4ZKtyOJrpnB0CER7bne8_7nIy5Y8vlxiWqz3yaQrHtaxVMa2B1LtuTpfdmc261thO_tdkHafmH67r_soqF2TgKIik2C1HRpH9NG2CwdawbKxQKsFqSDYo=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710xLewis Morris:  WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s arrest in England last week has set in motion what is sure to be a pitched legal battle. Assange has yet to answer for the public dissemination of classified U.S. documents dating back to 2010, documents that compromised U.S. security and diplomatic standing and potentially the lives of U.S soldiers and their allies in the field of battle.

The ongoing debate of whether Assange had the right to post sensitive documents on his website has been going on for the better part of a decade. Sadly, it is a wasted argument. Assange had no right to do so. These materials were stolen by former Army PFC Bradley Manning in a fit of anti-American pique. Manning, now known as Chelsea Manning after receiving a taxpayer-funded sex-reassignment surgery while in jail, offered the materials to Assange for the express purposes of harming the U.S., and Assange gleefully went along.

Calling Assange a journalist or a publisher is a complete misnomer. He did not act like a responsible journalist. He did not vet the information he obtained, nor did he consider the potential harm his actions would cause — in fact, the potential harm is what motivated him. He knew that he could embarrass the United States and negatively impact its ability to defeat terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan. What Assange did was nothing more than engage in a document dump of illegally obtained material. His motivations were not truth and justice, but fame and the chance to stick a finger in America’s eye.

Were Assange truly concerned about journalistic integrity, he would have carefully evaluated the documents he possessed and redacted information that could potentially harm individuals. This did not happen. Instead, he actually insisted on posting the material to the Web as-is, regardless of the consequences.

Assange is also erroneously considered to be an equal-opportunity offender — that is to say that the U.S. was not his sole target. There is nothing in the WikiLeaks document dumps to suggest this is true. The material Assange received and reflexively posted came largely from the U.S. and harms U.S. interests. In fact, if prosecutors want to nail anyone for Russian collusion, Julian Assange is their man.

Assange’s actions were openly supported by Russian President Vladimir Putin, and it appears they may have supplied Assange with the information that threw the 2016 presidential election into a tailspin. Yet, so far all American prosecutors have accused Assange with at this point is a single count of hacking into government computer servers, which carries a maximum sentence of five years.

It’s a mystery as to why Assange has not been formally accused of more crimes, considering his co-conspirator Manning was convicted of multiple felony counts of espionage. Barack scumbag/liar-nObama saved Manning many years of jail time by commuting his sentence before leaving office, but he’s back in federal custody now that he has refused to testify before a grand jury on the Assange investigation.

Espionage charges carry an expiration date in some cases, and several of the acts Assange may be guilty of committing have lapsed. There is also concern that the case the U.S. currently has against Assange may not be air-tight. Proving his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law faces several challenges, not the least of which is the potential of compromising the integrity of Robert Mueller’s report on Russian collusion in the 2016 election. Although President Donald Trump has been cleared of any involvement, thus far the collusion claim still stands. If Assange should beat the case, dirty cop-Mueller’s findings would come under question, and Russia would be vindicated.

Speaking of vindication, scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton took a victory lap at a recent New York City event. scumbag/liar-Clinton, forever on the lookout for someone to blame for her 2016 loss, believes that the negative press she received due to the WikiLeaks posting of emails from her campaign and the DNC cost her the election. If bad press alone were the reason for losing a presidential election, then how do you explain Donald Trump?

Assange will face an extradition hearing in the UK on May 2. Despite England being America’s closest ally, a favorable outcome that sends Assange to the U.S. to face trial is not assured. UK courts will have to determine whether Assange might face the death penalty for his crimes (he won’t), or if the U.S. has other charges in store for him. He will most assuredly fight the extradition, and the process could be dragged out in the courts for a long time.

Assange is also a wanted man in Sweden, and this could complicate matters as well. There have been several accusations of sexual assault and molestation against Assange by Swedish women. This was the reason he sought refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in the first place, claiming that the charges were part of a smear campaign against him.

One rape charge against Assange has already been dropped because time ran out, and the allegation currently against him expires next year.

If U.S. and Swedish prosecutors are not careful, Assange could slip through the grip of justice and walk away scot-free. That can’t be allowed to happen.  ~The Patriot Post

{foxnews.com} ~ Attorney General William Barr is set to hold a news conference Thursday morning where he will discuss the long-awaited release of Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report... and certain members of Congress will be able to see the report "without certain redactions" after its public release, the Justice Department announced Wednesday. Barr will be joined by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein at 9:30 a.m. where they are expected to discuss the release of the report, officials said. The disclosure of a version of the report without "certain redactions" came in a filing late Wednesday in the Roger Stone prosecution. The DOJ said it would publicly redact sections related to Stone’s case which is ongoing.  Stone, a longtime confidant of the president, is awaiting trial on charges including false statements and obstruction. A summary of the report released by Barr last month stated that the special counsel found no proof of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government during the 2016 presidential election. It remains unclear what the full report holds, including what dirty cop-Mueller may have found on allegations of obstruction of justice. Barr wrote in his summary that evidence was “not sufficient to establish” certainty that President Trump committed obstruction. Anticipating further accusations, a source close to Trump’s legal team confirmed to Fox News on Wednesday that the president’s lawyers have been preparing a counter-report to object any obstruction of justice claims. It is not likely that Trump will be subject to any prosecution as a result of the details of the report but it is likely to contain unflattering details about his efforts to influence the Russia probe, including the firing of former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey...

{patriotpost.us} ~ On a December night in 2003, as the emergency medicine physician assigned to an elite special operations team, I had the unique opportunity to interview Saddam Hussein on the night of his capture... Over the course of almost six hours with the reviled dictator, I was reminded of Lord Acton's old adage, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely." It's hard to imagine what has to happen in a man's heart to blacken it to the extent of Saddam Hussein's. However, a clear contributor was the lack of accountability, or as our Founders put it, checks and balances. Without that system, freedom was only a dream in Saddam's Iraq. The idea that is America centers on that word: freedom. Our Founding Fathers understood that with freedom, citizens are released to innovate, create, and expand prosperity greater than any other form of government. Influenced by the French philosopher Montesquieu, our Founders built a government where power was dispersed as much as humanly possible — a government where one person could operate independently of the other. Thus, we have three equal but separate branches of government. Perhaps more importantly, we have some power enumerated in the Constitution set aside for a federal government, with the remaining powers divested to the states. With the freedom that resulted from this arrangement, Americans have created a prosperity unprecedented in human history. Today, however, that freedom — and the system that ensures it — is under massive attack. Socialism is a system of government where power shifts from the people to a monolithic, centralized bureaucracy that promises to take care of its citizens equally. It is a system that ignores the diversity of the population and administers blanket, one-size-fits-all solutions to every problem in life. Rather than self-organizing, socialism offers a direct and complete relationship between the individual and the federal government. And more consequentially, it concentrates power in the hands of a few elites...

ABC, CBS Mislead on Fox News 
Town Hall Crowd Cheering Medicare For All

newsbusters.org } ~ As if it somehow sank the conservative agenda or upended a Fox News narrative, the ABC and CBS Tuesday evening news programs hailed the heavily Democratic Fox News town hall audience... that cheered for commie-Bernie Sander’s Medicare for All healthcare plan. It was clear during ABC’s World News Tonight that they were going to twist the cheering crowd as proof that even Republicans supported government controlled healthcare. “Now, to the race for 2020 tonight, and the fiery town hall. commie-Bernie Sanders on Fox News. And the question about health care in America, it drew a huge response from the audience,” hyped sensationalist anchor David Muir. ABC congressional correspondent Mary Bruce was full of energy as she explained how comkie-Sanders was “at a town hall on the President's favorite network” and “asked voters to embrace one of his most progressive ideas: Medicare for all.” She played a soundbite of town hall co-moderator Bret Baier conducting an impromptu poll of the Pennsylvania audience to see support for commie-Sanders’ plan: I want to ask the audience a question, if you could raise your hands here, show of hands of how many people get their insurance from work, private insurance, right now. How many get it from private insurance? Okay. Now, of those, who many are willing to transition to what the Senator says, a government-run system. So, given the facts of the situation, it becomes clear these networks were looking to mislead their viewers about the situation and who was actually cheering. As further evidence of that intent, ABC's on-screen headline read: "Memorable Moment: commie-Sanders draws unexpected support for health plan"...   https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2019/04/16/abc-cbs-mislead-fox-news-town-hall-crowd-cheering-medicare?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTkdOa01XSm1ZVE0yTlRVNSIsInQiOiJnd1lZR3BmTnh1cFREM3dhUVwvV2JjK3pEMzl6emVtWGJSWThCS2VcL2VQdk5hUDN4YkcwZzdkdGJJRkpmSWcwWnRkcUZtR0RlSkJvaFpqRzJkYjB3VThaWWkraU5zUndzQjVxbWJueWtHMjFlN1V3dHRPaW9IamFjQXNIYTV2Z3lyIn0%3D

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Wang Yi, the 45-year-old essayist and civil rights lawyer-turned-Protestant pastor, has scared the Chinese government. We know this because they’ve silenced him... He has been detained, along with his wife, Jiang Rong, since Dec. 9, 2018, and denied access to a lawyer — or any semblance of due process. It will be quite a challenge for China to stamp out Wang’s voice entirely. He founded one of China’s most popular churches, the 500-member-strong Early Rain Covenant Church in Chengdu, the capital of China’s southwestern Sichuan province. With Wang detained, it's hard to say what will happen to the church. It is one of his biggest “crimes,” the reason for his imprisonment. Government officials arrested Wang, his wife, and 11 of the church members. Initially, more than 160 had been detained. The charges are what government officials like to call “inciting to subvert state power.” It carries up to 15 years behind bars. After all, in China faith is due to the ruling Communist Party, not God. But all of China’s gods are people. And people die. One day, too, shall the Communist Party, as Wang likes to remind Beijing. He wrote that party ideology is “morally incompatible with the Christian faith and all those who uphold freedom of the mind and thought.” Until his arrest, Wang headed not only an unapproved church but a seminary and an elementary school, as well as a group designed to provide aid to political prisoners. In short, Wang boldly went after every one of the Chinese government's preciouses, infiltrating daily life and schools, spreading the influence of the gospel while the Communist Party tries to stamp it out...

gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ April 15 marked the 18th anniversary of the firing of the first Hamas rocket toward Israel. On this day, 18 years ago... Hamas's military wing, Izaddin al-Qassam, launched its first rocket attack at Israeli population centers near their border with the Gaza Strip. On the eve of this occasion, Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader of the Gaza Strip, threatened that his movement will continue to fire rockets at Israel. The rockets, he said, will be fired at Israeli "settlements" not only near the border with the Gaza Strip, but also at supposed "settlements" in the Israeli cities of Ashkelon, Ashdod and Tel Aviv. Sinwar said that the recent Egyptian-sponsored ceasefire understandings between Hamas and Israel are not a peace agreement. The understandings, he explained, do not require Hamas to disarm or halt, near the border with Israel, the weekly demonstrations, also known as the "Great March of Return." "The understandings do not have any political dimension," the Hamas leader said. "I promise that if a war is imposed on us, the occupation will have to evacuate its settlements, not only near the Gaza Strip, but also in Ashdod, Ashkelon, the Negev and even Tel Aviv. Remember this promise." Sinwar's threats serve as a reminder that Hamas and other Palestinian terror group consider Israel one big settlement that needs to be annihilated. Hamas and the other terror groups do not see a difference between a Jew living in the West Bank and a Jew living in Tel Aviv or Ashkelon. To terror groups, all these Jews, regardless of whether they live in the West Bank or in Israel proper, are "settlers" and "colonists."...

dailycaller.com } ~ Central American migrants apprehended at the border claimed to have been encouraged by local newspaper advertisements that promised work opportunities... and free assistance from the U.S. government. “The whole word knows, they put it in the news. They tell us everywhere if you come to the United States, they’ll help you,” said a Honduran woman apprehended at the southern border near the Rio Grande Valley. Speaking to CBS 4 news, a local news outlet, she and her family claimed they decided to make the trek to the U.S.-Mexico border after seeing several advertisements. Numerous ads in Central America, reportedly paid for by operatives in the human smuggling business, are promising locals jobs and free help from the U.S. if they reach the border. “Yes, we’ve been told that, we read it on our newspapers. That’s why we’re here,” said a Guatemalan pastor who was also apprehended in the Rio Grande valley area. Additionally, the ads are telling readers that they have a better chance of getting through law enforcement if they bring a child: “We’ve been told if you are a father you can bring your child and you will be helped here if you’re in that situation,” the pastor explained. The claims come as no surprise. The booming human smuggling industry in Central America has been  well-documented, and recruiters have been open about their industry’s practices... Whatever you read in the newspaper don't believe it.   https://dailycaller.com/2019/04/16/newspaper-ads-migrants-us/

America's Trump-Hating Oligarchs

Arnold Ahlert:  “Today’s ruling class, from Boston to San Diego, was formed by an educational system that exposed them to the same ideas and gave them remarkably uniform guidance, as well as tastes and habits. … Regardless of what business or profession they are in, their road up included government channels and government money because, as government has grown, its boundary with the rest of American life has become indistinct.” —Angelo Codevilla, 2010

“Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.” —Senate Minority Leader Chuck scumbag-Schumer, 2017

Codevilla and scumbag-Schumer have aptly described America’s Ruling Class and its unelected deep-state enablers/enforcers. In short, American government has become a de facto oligarchy that embraces the most transparent double standard of justice in the history of the nation. Its members are protected by a lapdog media every bit as invested in maintaining this contemptible status quo as are the people they’re supposed to hold accountable.

The most blatant indication of such was the response to the 2008 financial crisis. Quite simply, Wall Street bankers who ran the nation into the ground were rewarded with bailouts by Main Street taxpayers who can’t get a decent return on their savings to this very day. During the eight years of Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s presidency, every scandal, from the Benghazi terror attack and Fast and Furious gun-running to the targeting of conservative groups by the IRS and the ransom payments directed to the Iranian mullahs was dismissed by a lapdog media, and ineptly investigated by a Republican-controlled Congress no more interested in rocking the Ruling Class boat than their Democrat colleagues. And all during those years, the same economic “experts” who killed the economy told us we would have to get used to a “new normal” of anemic growth, declining wages and underemployment.

In 2016, the unthinkable happened. “Sure thing” Ruling Class candidate scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton got beaten by a brash-mouthed political amateur who, despite his own considerable wealth, represented the antithesis of the Ruling Class mandarins who became utterly unhinged by the unlikely turn of events. That wholly uncharacteristic outburst, coming from the self-anointed champions of “tolerance” and “diversity,” was an eye-opener for millions of Americans long dismissed as deplorables. Deplorables whose “pedestrian” concerns such as getting a decent job, raising a family, and making life better for their children — the chances for which have considerably improved under the Trump administration — were completely antithetical to the Ruling Class’s globalist ambitions. Ambitions that include contempt for American institutions, traditions and the nation-state itself.

Ever since, the Ruling Class has sought to “right” the ship of state, in a sequence of events best described by Victor Davis Hanson. “From the day Trump was elected we were told the election machines were flawed, we were going to sue,” he explains. “And then there was a group, remember we were told about the Electoral College, and we were told we had to overturn the electors. And then we went to the 25th Amendment that Trump was unbalanced. And that didn’t work. And then we went to the emoluments clause, he profited even though his businesses had lost a billion dollars. And then we’ve gone to dirty cop-Mueller.”

For those who believe in the Rule of Law and genuine justice, the dirty cop-Mueller investigation of Russian collusion was a farce. If it weren’t, the reality that scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign officials also met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislya, and that they and the DNC paid for and received the Steele dossier  containing information from “a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure” and “a former top level intelligence officer still active in the Kremlin” would have received as much scrutiny as the Trump campaign’s Russian interactions.

None of that was investigated by dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s team, the one that initially consisted of 16 attorneys, 13 of whom were registered Democrats, and nine of whom contributed $62,000 in donations to the party.

And now, Democrats are infuriated by Attorney General Robert Barr’s assertion that the Trump campaign was spied upon by the scumbag/liar-nObama administration. Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, insisted it demonstrates “either a lack of understanding or willful ignorance on what goes into a counterintelligence investigation.”

What would Warner and equally hypocritical Democrats like for Americans to forget? That the scumbag/liar-nObama administration has a track record of spying. They surveilled Fox reporter James Rosen, Associated Press reporters, pro-Israeli U.S. lawmakers … and staff members of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Moreover, former CIA Director scumbag/commie-John Brennan initially lied about investigating the Senate committee until it became impossible to continue doing do. The same scumbag/commie-John Brennan who, despite who an extensive track record as a documented liar, now worksfor NBC and MSNBC. scumbag/commie-Brennan’s employment, along the hiring of several other equally duplicitous former government officials, makes a completely mockery of the media’s role as government watchdog.

Instead, the mainstream media is little more than a mouthpiece for the Ruling Class and its agenda. Perhaps nothing speaks to this better than the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, and the outrage directed at Trump for stating he might send illegal aliens to sanctuary cities.

While Assange is no hero, it is telling that virtually no one in the media has taken Barack scumbag/liar-nObama to task for commuting the 35-year sentence of Assange’s provider, Bradley-turned-Chelsea Manning. Moreover, very few are questioning the reality that the government is charging) Assange with conspiracy to commit computer intrusion so that the same First Amendment protections that immunized Glenn Greenwald when he published Edward Snowden’s intel, The Intercept when it published intel provided by NSA contractor Reality Winner, or The New York Times when it published the Pentagon Papers provided by Daniel Ellsberg, do not apply.

Robert Mahoney, deputy director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, worries that such an indictment could have “broad legal arguments about journalists soliciting information or interacting with sources that could have chilling consequences for investigative reporting and the publication of information of public interest.”

That may be precisely the point, courtesy of a Ruling Class embarrassed and humiliated by WikiLeaks revelation related to Manning and the exposure of the DNC’s effort to rig their own primaries in favor of scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton.

As for Trump’s trial balloon, the outrage demonstrated by a Ruling Class that has conspicuously left the borders wide open — and warned us that any resistance to a wholesale invasion is racist or xenophobic — is the epitome of hypocrisy. Moreover, the plethora of media entities that have used the word “dump” with regard to the process is a great indication of what the Ruling Class and their media handmaidens really think about illegals, especially when its their communities that may finally bear the direct burden of their policies.

“The ruling class’s appetite for deference, power, and perks grows, Codevilla warned in 2010.

Nine years later, the only thing standing in their way is Donald Trump. "He was not supposed to win,” explains Hanson. “With the victory, he interrupted sixteen years of a planned progressive agenda.”

It is an agenda wholly embraced by a globalist elite Ruling Class that continues to seek revenge — by any means necessary.

But Democrats are preparing to subpoena the Justice Department so they can obtain the full report. “Obviously we will use the subpoena power to the full extent of the law,” Rep. Jamie B. Raskin, D-Md., told the Washington Post. A spokesperson for House Judiciary Committee Chairman scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Washington Examiner. Earlier this month, the panel voted to subpoena Barr to hand over the whole report.

Brooklyn’s Islamist Vigilantes

/spectator.org } ~ On December 3, members of a Muslim funeral procession became incensed after a FedEx truck driver accidentally backed into a mourner on a crowded Brooklyn street... An angry mob surrounded the vehicle, smashed out the truck’s windows and assaulted the couriers. One of the mourners was arrested, and the truck drivers were hauled off to jail for defending themselves with fire extinguishers and box cutters. It was a textbook case of vigilante justice gone wrong, in which private citizens took the law into their own hands with disastrous results. Unfortunately, residents of Brooklyn’s Bay Ridge and Sunset Park neighborhoods may have to get used to such scenes after the New York Post reported a “new security group” cruising local streets in a white Ford Taurus painted with stripes and insignia nearly identical to local police. But the recently incorporated Muslim Community Patrol & Services (MCPS) isn’t a new concept, nor is it some benign neighborhood watch merely established, as it claims, “to protect members of the local community from escalating quality-of-life nuisance crimes.” “This is basically a neighborhood community patrol on steroids, and people are intimidated,” MCPS’s own Vice President Noor Rabah boasted in an interview with Bklyner. Formerly known as the Muslim Civilian Observation Patrol & Services (MCOPS, or Muslim COPS), MCPS has been patrolling Brooklyn’s streets since September 2016 and leaving behind traces of the Islamist agenda which guides its growing membership. The security group sparked outrage on social media over fears that its members might behave like Muslim patrols in Minnesota   and London by imposing religious standards and enforcing “no-go zones.” But the controversial fact-checking website Snopes deemed allegations that MCPS was enacting Sharia law as “false,” and a New York Times report concluded that much of the backlash was driven by “far-right conspiracy theories.”...They are totally wrong on that theory.   https://spectator.org/brooklyns-islamist-vigilantes/

westernjournal.com } ~ Some say the road to socialist hell is paved with good intentions. What it’s really paved with is bloated government, wealth redistribution and central planning... Leftists have taken control of the Democratic Party and some have begun to tell the truth about their socialist ideology. Unfortunately, they’re not just talking about it. With almost identical measures on a variety of issues and national backing, they are implementing their ideas in Democrat-controlled state legislatures around the country. That allows them to bypass Congress on the federal level and ignore the will of the voters on the local level. These tactics drive a truck through any semblance of local control. That’s central planning. Strategists on the left won’t be satisfied with implementing their laws in just a few states. Like socialism itself, they will continue to pursue the expansion of their reach to pressure the country as a whole to adopt these laws. If you’d like a glimpse of leftist Nirvana, keep Colorado on your radar, where Republicans lost all statewide elected power in the 2018 midterms. Consequently, there aren’t enough Republican votes there to stop even the wildest socialist schemes. Here are a few of the worst bills that have either passed or are on their way to becoming law in Colorado. These bills are coming to a state government near you if they haven’t already.  Forced Sex Education: This bill requires public and charter schools to teach “LGBTQ” sexual practices to grade schoolers and abortion when discussing birth control, with no opt-out for parents.

{spectator.org} ~ America’s conservatives should be those least amazed by our left’s calls for wealth confiscation. The only surprise here is the flaunting. After all, wealth confiscation is what the left everywhere has always done... Once in power, it is the only way the left’s policies can survive. As 2020 nears and the pursuit of increasingly restive radicals increases, the politicians courting them aggressively seek more extreme positions. The fear of the “liberal” label is long gone and the “socialist” sobriquet is all the rage among those who rage. With the Marxist moniker come the policies. Higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations are already passé. It is no longer enough to tax the wealthy more via their income. Now the target is their wealth directly. Calls for such blatantly confiscatory policies are still shocking to most Americans. However, as we have been repeatedly taught by the left globally, such sensibilities are hopelessly out of step with the new “progressivism.” In one sense America’s left is right in its calls: The only shocking part is their explicit nature. Usually America’s left does not admit it aims, pursuing them instead silently. The left pursues confiscatory policies not just because it supports them in its own right — though assuredly it does — but because it inevitably must. The left always starts with enemies. The question is how broadly it defines them and how stringently it pursues them. The answer depends on the amount of power the left has...

Barr Should Focus on 2 Questions When Investigating Spying on Trump Campaign

Hans von Spakovsky
 

Democrats sharply attacked Attorney General William Barr for telling the truth when he acknowledged in Senate testimony Wednesday that federal law enforcement officers had spied on the Trump presidential campaign.

House Speaker Nancy Pulosi of California, House Majority Leader scumbag-Steny Hoyer of Maryland, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck scumbag-Schumer of New York were the highest ranking congressional Democrats saying they were outraged. Why? Because Barr simply acknowledged reality.

scumbag-Schumer tweeted that Barr was “peddling conspiracy theories.” Pulosi said “I don’t trust Barr.” And scumbag-Hoyer told Fox News that Barr is “acting as an employee of the president … to protect the president.

"I think spying did occur,” Barr told a Senate Appropriations Committee subcommittee. “The question is whether it was adequately predicated.”

Whether you’re a Democrat or Republican — whether you support President Donald Trump or can’t stand him — you need to accept the reality that what Barr said is true. As Barr pointed out, the spying took place by both federal informants and secret electronic surveillance authorized by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court.

The question of whether the spying was proper or improper is now what’s up for debate — not whether the spying occurred. And the only way to determine if the spying was proper is to examine how and why the investigation of the Trump campaign began — something Barr told senators he is doing.

Simply ignoring the issue of whether the spying against the Trump campaign was justified would be irresponsible and a dereliction of duty by the attorney general.

Barr has a responsibility to look into the spying, focusing on finding answers to two questions:

First, did the FBI and the Justice Department have evidence to justify opening an investigation and counterintelligence operation looking at the Trump presidential campaign?

And second, did those who authorized the spying meet the requirements of the FISA law to justify electronic surveillance?

“Spying on a political campaign is a big deal,” Barr told senators. It sure is. Everyone, regardless of their politics, should be “concerned about intelligence agencies and law enforcement agencies staying in their proper lane,” Barr said.

Dictatorships spy on political opponents, throwing them in jail or sometimes even executing them. In democracies, governments are not supposed to use their law enforcement powers and massive resources against political opponents. It is vital that we adhere to this distinction and not let Uncle Sam turn into Big Brother.

We have never before had a situation in which law enforcement officials of executive branch agencies spied on a presidential campaign. It’s something that never should happen without substantial evidence of possible wrongdoing.

You’ll recall that the purpose of special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s investigation was to ascertain whether members of the Trump campaign or others associated with it conspired with the Russian government in efforts to interfere with the 2016 election and elect Trump.

The dirty cop-Mueller investigation found no evidence of any such collusion, raising serious questions about what led to the campaign surveillance in the first place. This is why Barr told senators that he is “reviewing the conduct of the investigation” to fully understand “all of the aspects of the counterintelligence investigation that was conducted in the summer of 2016.”

Keep in mind that all of this started when the Justice Department and the FBI sought permission from the FISA Court to surveil Carter Page, who acted as a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign for several months. Page was never charged with, or indicted for, any violation of federal law by Mueller or the Justice Department.

The FISA Court reviews all applications made by the FBI, Justice Department, and other federal intelligence agencies seeking classified warrants that allow them to engage in electronic surveillance. The court’s proceedings are secret.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act requires federal law enforcement agencies to provide “a statement of facts and circumstances relied upon” to justify the government’s assertion that the surveillance target is “an agent of a foreign power.”

The act also requires the government to show that the “facilities or places” targeted by the electronic surveillance are being used by the “foreign power or an agent of a foreign power.” Most importantly, the application to authorize surveillance must be submitted “by a Federal officer in writing upon oath or affirmation.”

In other words, the government officials who applied for a surveillance warrant on Page had to swear that the “facts and circumstances” in the application were true.

Yet we now know from various reports, including one released by the House Intelligence Committee in 2018, that the FBI and Justice Department relied almost exclusively on the Steele dossier, a piece of fraudulent opposition research paid for by the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.

It appears that neither the FBI nor the Justice Department bothered to check the claims in the Steele dossier. Former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey admitted the claims were “salacious and unverified.”

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe testified before Congress that no surveillance warrant involving the Trump campaign would have been sought without the dossier information.

And former FBI attorney Lisa Page admitted to Congress that the investigation was opened with a “paucity” of evidence.

There are plenty of additional details here for Barr to investigate. Were the FBI and Justice Department officials who signed the FISA applications less than forthcoming in that application? Did they mislead the FISA judges by failing to reveal that government officials were relying on unverified political opposition research?

If government law enforcement officials abused their power or misled a court, serious consequences must follow — not only to punish wrongdoing, but also to deter future misconduct by government officials.

Barr reminded senators of his “obligation to make sure government power is not abused.”

“I think that’s one of the principal roles of the attorney general,” Barr said. On this, he is absolutely right.  ~The Patriot Post

{foxnews.com} ~ The FBI failed to respond to an October 2018 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking more information about secretive communications in late 2016 between... a top scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer and the bureau's then-general counsel, according to the  transparency group Judicial Watch. Additionally, the group said, the FBI has ignored September 2018 FOIA requests concerning bureau communications with, and payments to, British ex-spy Christopher Steele -- who authored the infamous anti-Trump dossier. In response, Judicial Watch announced Tuesday it has filed lawsuits  seeking the full release of all relevant documents. The flurry of litigation comes just days before Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's report is set to be publicly released, with some redactions. Separately on Tuesday, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham was joined by Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson in sending a letter to the Justice Department demanding the release of information concerning the FBI's investigation of scumbag/liar-Clinton's private email server, known as the "Midyear Exam" probe. "In May of 2016, around the same time then-FBI Director scumbag-James Comey was drafting a statement exonerating scumbag/liar-Clinton, the FBI’s Midyear team wrote a memo seeking DOJ permission to review highly-classified information 'necessary to complete the investigation,' according to the unclassified DOJ Inspector General report," the chairmen wrote...   https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-failed-to-provide-details-on-contact-with-clinton-campaign-lawyer-judicial-watch

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Senior Senate Republicans have told the Department of Justice to stop making excuses. They are pushing again for details about the FBI’s investigation into scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s private email server... Three Senate committee chairmen wrote to Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday, saying Justice cannot use special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's investigation any longer as an excuse to avoid briefing Congress. “Now that the Special Counsel’s investigation has concluded, we are unaware of any legitimate basis upon which the Department can refuse to answer the Judiciary Committee’s inquiries,” Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., wrote in their letter. The Republicans previously requested information on a classified appendix to the Justice Department inspector general’s report titled, “A Review of Various Actions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice in Advance of the 2016 Election," that was released in June 2018. “The classified appendix raises significant issues associated with the FBI’s failure to review certain highly classified information in support of its Midyear investigation,” they wrote, referring to the code name for the email investigation. “In particular, the Inspector General noted that it learned that the FBI acquired classified material that ‘may have included information potentially relevant to the Midyear investigation.’ The FBI even drafted a memorandum in May of 2016 stating that access to the information was ‘necessary to complete the investigation.’ However, that memorandum was never completed.”...

by Warren Henry  
thefederalist.com } ~ According to The New York Times, “mainstream Democrats are increasingly worried that their effort to defeat President Trump in 2020 could be complicated by commie-Bernie Sanders... in a political scenario all too reminiscent of how Mr. Trump himself seized the Republican nomination in 2016.” commie-Sanders pays lip service to the idea of unity, but has warned supporters he is also fighting establishment Democrats. commie-Bernie is embroiled in a bitter feud with scumbag/liar-Clinton loyalists at the Center for American Progress (CAP), which has been criticizing the socialist’s Medicare-for-All proposal behind the scenes. There is little question where the Times stands in this battle; its hit piece uses CAP President Neera Tanden’s 78-year-old mother to attack her. The “Stop commie-Sanders” Democrats will turn out to be as ineffectual as NeverTrump Republicans were in 2016 unless they find a line of attack that is not simply a grievance of the party’s establishment. commie-Sanders supporters are about as likely to ditch commie-Bernie over his millionaire status as Trump supporters were affected by the bankruptcies in his business past. Nor are they likely to care about the details of his single-payer health-care bill. But once commie-Bernie’s opponents understand the roots of his success, they may find a potent issue staring them in the face. There are two major reasons commie-Sanders is near the Democrats’ center of gravity. First, his socialism or “social-ism“ largely expresses a vision Democrats have held for at least 50 years and often longer. Second, because his vision is old, it remains rooted in class, rather than the identity politics of the New New Left. For some, this second reason is a feature; for others, it is a bug. The potential fault line for commie-Sanders among Democrats may be his position on immigration...

americantruthtoday.com } ~ Chris Christie’s public career has had its ups and downs, but at his best he has brought clarity to a number of issues... On Fox Radio with Brian Kilmeade, he said what he thought about Ilhan Omar and commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “As somebody who had my wife two blocks away from the World Trade Center that day, my brother on the floor of the New York Stock exchange, and a number of people in our local parish here who passed away, a murder occurred,” Christie said on the Brian Kilmeade Show on Fox News Radio.“Multiple murders occurred, 2,900 murders occurred on that day by radical Islamic terrorists and that’s the way it should always be spoken about to honor those victims and this woman is completely – let’s put aside her religion for the moment – as a public servant, she’s off her rocker to be describing it that way and it’s a disgrace, it’s a disgrace to anyone in her congressional district who voted for her.” \*\*\* Christie also referred to Dem. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who defended Omar by quoting a passage about the Holocaust as a “joke” who will soon be “an asterisk” in history. “This is the problem with people like commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. They like to talk a lot, but they don’t want to be held responsible for anything they say…Good point!…and the fact is that to diminish the attacks on 9⁄11, the greatest attack ever perpetrated on this country, on our soil from a terrorist organization, is to demean the lives that were lost that day, both among those who were in those buildings and on those planes, and those who lost their lives trying to save them,” Christie said. “What she should do is apologize, and be done with it, because there’s no justifying it, and listen, part of it too Brian, is I’m so tired of hearing ‘commie-AOC’ as she’s called, being given airtime in this country. She’s a joke.” “She got elected because a member of Congress \$&Joe Crowley\$& went to sleep and never went back to his district and was too busy running for speaker rather than running to keep his congressional seat and I think she will be seen ultimately as an asterisk in history because I can’t imagine she will stay all that long.”
Three Questions to Ask Liberals
by Steven Kessler

americanthinker.com } ~ As President Trump threatens to transport illegal aliens to sanctuary cities, suddenly, many on the Left are feeling significantly less generous and magnanimous regarding illegal immigration...
 Colloquially, this is known as "skin in the game." When people have no skin in the game, then the issue is "no skin off their back." Cher, for example, was gung ho when it came to immigration, as she had no skin in the game. However, when she had some skin in the game, her position suddenly became more conservative. This conversation is surprisingly typical. It arises so frequently that it has become one of the three questions I have learned to ask when dealing with liberals and liberal ideology. I learned to ask this question while in graduate school for higher education administration, a discipline whose pedagogy is informed by social justice ideology. A professor of mine always advocated for "redistribution of wealth from big business." I remember telling her how unstable business can be from month to month and year to year. Due to this instability, would it not make more sense to redistribute wealth from a more stable profession? The most stable profession I can think of is tenured professor. Tenured professors have guaranteed contracts for life. Not only that, but it was her idea in the first place, so one would think she would be in favor of implementing her own idea. Believe it or not, she did not want to redistribute wealth from tenured professors. When the money was coming out of her pocket, she was much less enthusiastic...

Robin Smith:  Well, that didn’t take long. The party whose playbook is identity politics has gone from claiming the moral high ground on women’s rights and having loyalty from the female voting bloc to essentially guaranteeing the end of women’s sports as a field of accomplishment, competition, and reputation, as well as pushing legislation that will harm women by making it more difficult for them to own firearms for self-defense.

The last two Januaries, the National Mall was occupied by tens of thousands of angry women in who, most likely, expected scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton to become the 45th U.S. president. Their noggins were covered in bright pink knitted caps fashioned in the shape of a female organ, and they were unified under the rallying cry that they would prevail in the body politick despite the unimaginable victory of Donald Trump. As the #MeToo Movement commenced, Democrats at the national level would become the only group to stand up for the rights and empowerment of women, right?

Well, that was so yesterday.

As the same Democrats in elected office shift their focus from one identity group to another, the solidarity of victimhood that disgruntled women have found within the ranks of the political Left has been displaced by the emphasis on the social-justice efforts to satisfy other various voting blocs — most recently the LGBTQIA+ Rainbow Mafia.

All but one House Democrat cast votes in favor of the Equality Act, demonstrate that their legislative priorities are directed by politics, not constitutional policy. (They were joined by two Republicans who apparently misplaced their copies of the RNC Platform and the U.S. Constitution.) If this bill were to become law and actually amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964, not only would women’s sports become dominated by the gender-confused and “transgender” who fluctuate genders based on feelings, not biology, but every aspect of hiring and promotion, scholarship consideration, and public life would be forever changed by the regulatory morass that would result from such an insane policy.

What’s fascinating about the Equality Act is that it was a policy first introduced in July 2015 … when Barack scumbag/liar-nObama was president, the Senate was controlled by Democrats, and the GOP held only a 33-seat majority in the House. The bill died in both House and Senate committees, never seeing the light of day on the floor of either chamber for a vote. Why? It could be argued that it would’ve been much easier for America’s first black president working to transform our nation to embrace this far-reaching proposal. Only now, it seems, in 2019 — with a strong economy and other Trump administration achievements — that the urgency to employ identity politics has become so very critical to the hard-Left Democrat Party.

It’s not just through the LGBTQIA+ agenda that women are finding themselves harmed, but the anti-gun agenda is a threat to women who choose to protect themselves observing their Second Amendment right. The reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) by the House — led by Speaker Nancy Pulosi and her famed freshman class of radicals who govern via Twitter — sounds like good policy, but, as always, the devil is in the details.

As with the Equality Act, a good moniker does not always reflect effective policy. First passed into law in 1994 with bipartisan support, the VAWA was expanded with future reauthorizations and faced Republican opposition in 2012 because the rights of homosexuals were included as were provisions permitting illegal immigrants to access temporary visas. Nothing like DC politics to take a reasonable bill and contort it beyond recognition, right? The most recent reauthorization by the House follows its expiration in February this year but comes with new amendments that will deny due process of those whose weapons are confiscated based on an ex parte order of protection — meaning the accused or their representative need not be present or heard. In fact, a citizen could even permanently lose the right to own, purchase, or possess firearms if convicted of the misdemeanor of stalking — a crime that may not include violence.

Hijacking a decent piece of legislation has become the new tool of Democrats to find incremental ways to establish their extreme agenda of gun control. In this case, that means potentially permanently erasing one’s constitutional right without a record of violence.

As militant leftists move to enact their radical agenda, women aren’t faring so well. Finding the gender-confused preferred in legislative protections and the facts flatly ignored that a growing population of women are turning to the Second Amendment to effectively protect themselves from all sorts of crimes are just two examples of the consequences of identity politics. Those politics circumvent the foundational principles of our Constitution and, in turn, harm females, not just erode Liberty.

A key phrase from the Democrats’ 2018 party platform declares, “We are stronger together.” Yeah, that is until Democrats need to appeal to a different identity group for votes. Good luck, ladies. The #MeToo movement is proving #YouToo can be left behind when the Constitution is ignored.  ~The Patriot Post

Attorney General Bill Barr Cracks Down On 
Catch-And-Release For Asylum Seekers

dailycaller.com } ~ Attorney General Bill Barr decided Tuesday that asylum seekers who meet the “credible fear” threshold are no longer eligible... to be released on bond, stymying at least one method illegal immigrants use to gain access to the United States. The new rule will apply to all asylum seekers who demonstrate “credible fear” in their home countries, regardless if they turned themselves in at ports of entry or if they were detained between the ports. Barr’s decision stems from an October 2018 review of Department of Justice (DOJ) policy regarding bond hearings for immigrants seeking asylum, and overrules a previous Board of Immigration Appeals decision from 2005. According to a DOJ official, Barr was informed by the Immigration and Nationality Act, which states that immigrants who establish credible fear “shall be detained for further consideration of the application for asylum” or may be “paroled into the United States . . . for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.” The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would have the jurisdiction to parole immigrants — otherwise they will be held indefinitely while they wait to appear in front of an immigration judge. The ability of illegal immigrants to meet the “credible fear” threshold and then be released into the interior of the United States pending further immigration proceedings has proven to be a significant challenge for the Trump administration. President Donald Trump has accused some immigrants of gaming the asylum system and receiving coaching on how to pass an interview with an asylum officer, even if the immigrant knows they will not ultimately be granted asylum after the full process. According to former DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, 80% of asylum cases at the southern border do not conclude with entry to the United States...

{foxnews.com} ~ Multiple Denver-area school districts have canceled classes for Wednesday after a Miami woman “infatuated” with the 1999 Columbine massacre... made threats and traveled to Colorado where she bought firearms earlier this week, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI. Sol Pais, 18, who has a history of making “concerning” comments, arrived in Colorado from Miami early Monday and bought a pump action shotgun and ammunition, the FBI told reporters Tuesday evening.  The FBI’s Miami office had reportedly alerted its Denver counterpart after learning of the potential threat. After consulting with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, Denver Public Schools, Douglas County School District, 27J Schools, Adams 12 Five Star, Aurora Public Schools, Englewood Schools, Jefferson County Schools and Cherry Creek Schools decided to cancel classes for Wednesday, the Denver Channel reported. Authorities said Pais was last seen in the foothills of Denver and remains at large. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is currently leading multiple agencies in a massive manhunt. While no warrant has been issued for her arrest, the FBI said that district attorneys and the U.S. attorney’s office are discussing appropriate charges. The FBI's Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force issued a notice Tuesday describing Pais as "infatuated with the Columbine school shooting." The alert said police who come into contact with her should detain her and evaluate her mental health... Update: She was found dead in Jefferson County mountain.

by Chuck Ross
dailycaller.com } ~ Sir Richard Dearlove has avoided scrutiny during the Russia probe, despite having links to several of the former spies... government informants and targets involved in the U.S. government’s collusion investigation. Dearlove, who served as chief of MI6 from 1999 to 2004, had contact during the 2016 campaign with dossier author Christopher Steele. He is also a close colleague of Stefan Halper, the alleged FBI and CIA informant who established contact with several Trump campaign advisers. Dearlove and Halper attended a Cambridge political event in July 2016 where Halper had his first contact with Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. The retired British spymaster also hosted, along with Halper, an event at Cambridge in 2014 attended by Michael Flynn, who served at the time as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Dearlove and Halper  are reported to have expressed concerns about Flynn’s contacts at the event with Svetlana Lokhova, a Russia-born student at Cambridge. Those warnings were somehow shared with American intelligence. Despite his presence at those key junctures, Dearlove has mostly dodged media attention, as well as that of American lawmakers investigating the origins of the Russia probe. That’s perhaps a testament to Dearlove’s 38 years in MI6. Dearlove is best known internationally for his links to a dossier, though not the one authored by Steele, a former MI6 officer. Dearlove was head of MI6 when the British government peddled a report alleging that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. The British government, led by Prime Minister Tony Blair, used the dossier as a pretext to launch a war against Iraq...   https://dailycaller.com/2019/04/16/richard-dearlove-steele-russia-halper-flynn/?utm_medium=email

F-35B Allowed Essex ARG to Flex New 
Blue-Water Capabilities in Absence 
of Carrier Nearby

news.usni.org } ~ The F-35B Joint Strike Fighter is not only changing the way Marine forces conduct their missions, it is also changing the way the amphibious navy can do its work in the absence of an aircraft carrier... leaders from the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit and Essex Amphibious Ready Group said. The Essex ARG and 13th MEU were the first to deploy from the United States with the F-35B, and they operated in the Pacific and Middle East from mid-July until their March 1 return home to San Diego. The deployment not only generated lessons learned on how to operate and sustain the F-35B jets as part of the Marine unit and in support of its objectives ashore, but also how to use the new jet to support blue-water Navy missions at sea, 13th MEU Commanding Officer Col. Chandler Nelms and Amphibious Squadron 1 Operations Officer Lt. Cmdr. David Mahoney told the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies on April 12. “We’re definitely changing the way amphibs are employed, especially on the blue side – we’re no longer just the trucks that carry Marines that we used to be,” Mahoney said. “There was no carrier in 5th Fleet, for example, so a lot of the CSG-like duties we started taking over just because we had to.”Though Mahoney made clear the ARG/MEU team could never replace a carrier air wing, he said “the ARG is now becoming almost like a mini CSG, where as part of the warfare concept we were executing many of those duties that would normally reserve to a CVN. There was no CVN except for the last couple of weeks while we were in theater in 5th Fleet, so we were doing that traditional role on USS Essex  (LHD-2) and working with other ships too. The ARG/MEU team is definitely in high demand to fill those roles as the Navy is spreading out further and further around the globe,” he said, noting that the deployed aircraft carrier, USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) was at the time focused on operations in Europe and north of the Arctic Circle rather than deploying to the Middle East as many had expected it would. “We are being treated as a CSG in a lot of respects: you can see that layered defense, so we were always bringing in destroyers to help work with us – East and West Coast, wherever they came from, they were integrating with the team,” the operations officer continued. “It’s not just the two or three amphibs that we had; we were bringing in destroyers, we worked with Europeans and their ships – this is what has to happen as the carriers are being sometimes sent elsewhere because the needs are rising elsewhere.”...   https://news.usni.org/2019/04/16/f-35b-allowed-essex-arg-to-flex-new-blue-water-capabilities-in-absence-of-carrier-nearby?utm_source=USNI+News&utm_campaign=a34516b206-USNI_NEWS_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0dd4a1450b-a34516b206-231491269&mc_cid=a34516b206&mc_eid=3999f18767

France Bans Iran’s Mahan Air
by Matthew Zweig  

fdd.org } ~ France last month banned Iran’s Mahan Air from flying in and out of the country citing the commercial airline’s transfers of equipment and personnel to Syria’s Assad regime and other Middle East conflict zones...
 The move, which comes two months after a similar injunction  by Germany, likely reflects the Trump administration’s increasing pressure on European governments. Since Syria’s civil war began, Tehran has utilized Mahan Air to provide troops and materiel to Assad’s forces and Hezbollah. These transfers have significantly bolstered their military capabilities, fueling Syria’s atrocities against its own people and spurring Israeli airstrikes against Iran-backed forces. Mahan Air may also pose a risk to Europe itself. In recent years, Iran has committed or attempted to commit multiple terror attacks and assassinations against Iranian dissidents in France, Denmark, and the Netherlands. “It cannot be ruled out that this airline could also transport cargo to Germany that threatens our security,” a German official said. “This is based on knowledge of past terrorist activities by Iran in Europe.” In 2011, the scumbag/liar-nObama administration  sanctioned Mahan Air to fly to and from countries in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, since the sanctions did not effectively target the service providers that give essential support to Mahan’s operations. The Trump administration has begun to correct this lapse. In July 2018, Washington established a precedent by sanctioning Malaysia-based Mahan Travel and Tourism Sdn Bhd for providing reservation and ticketing services to Mahan Air. In September 2018, it designated Thailand-based My Aviation Ltd for serving as Mahan Air’s general services agent...   https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2019/04/16/france-bans-irans-mahan-air/

Hypocrites Decry Trump's Sanctuary City Pitch
PY07D23Ay1zOPd9iR0J-GTyaBsr31YnuWt-HS716i3ZLBSPTX6HvsyIptmDobcrHIhBcbZX5eL1ny79n-gA54e85Z2Vn-fkUmLkUgpNYvyTB7b7YbDJ99awy11YPLdEztLzvfsGTzCAGsUQzfAlezyNGUGY6v0UsU-kZdsc=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Nate Jackson:  In the latest entry in the fascinating Leftmedia genre known as Anonymous Sources, The Washington Post stirred the pot on immigration again Friday. So let’s take a step back from the churn and evaluate what’s really going on here.

But first, briefly, the WaPo said its reporters reviewed emails between White House officials discussing twice in recent months the possibility of releasing illegal aliens in sanctuary cities. That story was quickly picked up by other media outlets. Officially, the White House dismissed the report, saying, “This was just a suggestion that was floated and rejected, which ended any further discussion.”

Nevertheless, it gave Nancy Pulosi (D-San Fran-Sanctuary City) the opportunity to blast her nemesis: “The extent of this administration’s cynicism and cruelty cannot be overstated. Using human beings — including little children — as pawns in their warped game to perpetuate fear and demonize immigrants is despicable.”

Of course, her statement applies far more to Democrat behavior than anything else. Moreover, is Pulosi upset that Trump is detaining illegal alien children, or that he’s releasing them?

Soon, however, Donald Trump responded that, yes, his administration is giving “strong considerations” to the idea. “The Radical Left always seems to have an Open Borders, Open Arms policy — so this should make them very happy!” Trump wrote. Nobody trolls the Left quite like Trump.

Trump also declared, “The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities. We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or its poor management & high taxes!”

In any case, while much of the chattering class is debating whether Trump’s idea is even legal or how it makes any sense at all, we’ll save that debate for such a time that this is an actual plan. For now, the real question should be turned in the other direction.

Sanctuary cities flaunt, reject, and even actively oppose federal immigration law. It’s easy to imagine that when illegals are released, they often end up in sanctuary cities anyway. Trump has a point — Democrats should welcome this opportunity with open arms. Yet these hypocrites are hysterically screaming about even the suggestion that the federal government might make them put their money where their mouths are, so to speak. The truth is Democrats cynically exploit immigrants of both the legal and illegal variety so they can obtain political power. They also hope to remain insulated from the consequences of their terrible policies. All the Trump administration’s suggestion does is highlight Democrat hypocrisy.  ~The Patriot Post

Media Editors:  TRUMP VETO: “President Trump on Tuesday vetoed a joint resolution calling on the U.S. to end military assistance to Saudi-led forces fighting in Yemen’s ongoing civil war, calling it ‘an unnecessary, dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members, both today and in the future.’ It was just the second veto of Trump’s presidency and Congress lacks the votes to override him.” (Fox News)
.
YUMA UNDER SIEGE: “Yuma, a city on the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona, declared a state of emergency Tuesday, saying it cannot handle the crush of illegal immigrants the government is being forced to release onto its streets. Mayor Douglas Nicholls said the migrants are being released by the Border Patrol into his community faster than they can leave, and local shelters are already at capacity. He warned of mobs of people ‘roaming the streets looking to satisfy basic human needs,’ clashing with citizens looking to protect their own property.” (The Washington Times)
.
TERRORISTS EXPLOIT OUR BORDERS: “According to a report from an organization that focuses on the problems with immigration, both legal and illegal, more than 10,000 illegal immigrants in the United States come from nations designated as terror sponsors. … The report quoted ICE Director Thomas Homan expressing his concern, asserting, ‘My biggest concern isn’t how many terrorists have been arrested entering the country illegally, but how many got through? How many did Border Patrol not catch? That’s what Americans should be thinking about.’” (The Daily Wire)
.
CRIMINAL-DEPORTATION STATS: “The Trump administration seized and deported some 145,095 criminal illegal immigrants inside the United States in 2017-2018, about 1.2% of the overall population of 11.3 million illegal immigrants, according to new federal statistics. Some 77,858 were arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials under the Secure Communities program and deported in fiscal 2018, nearly a third in Texas. Another 67,237 were arrested in communities and their homes in 2017 through May 2018.” (Washington Examiner)
.
NOTRE DAME UPDATE: “Nearly $1 billion in donations have poured in for the vast restoration of the fire-ravaged Notre Dame cathedral — but a pledge by French President Emmanuel Macron that it will be completed within five years was facing accusations of being wildly off track. Macron said the renovations to restore iconic 19th century spire, vaulting and two-thirds of the cathedral’s roof would be completed in time for the Paris 2024 Olympics. ‘We will rebuild the cathedral to be even more beautiful and I want it to be finished within five years,’ Macron said. Experts have said, however, that the ambitious timeline appears insufficient for such a massive operation.” (Associated Press)
.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD COERCION: “In a case that actually began a few years ago, the California Department of Managed Health Care began forcing religious organizations to pay for elective abortions in their health insurance plans through a seemingly innocuous mandate. The churches sued for their right to remain exempt from providing abortions, something that does not align with their religious conscience, and have been in litigation ever since. Now new emails, revealed in discovery, show that California actually mandated this coverage at Planned Parenthood’s bidding and targeted religious organizations on purpose.” (Washington Examiner)
.
UAW IN THE CROSSHAIRS: “A labor watchdog is making the United Auto Workers’ bribery scandal the centerpiece of its campaign urging workers to reject unionization. The UAW is attempting to gain a foothold in right-to-work Tennessee, pushing to organize a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga that rejected a previous union vote. The election will take place just weeks after a top union official pleaded guilty for his role in a bribery scandal at Chrysler. The Center for Union Facts has made it a priority to inform workers of corruption ahead of the vote.” (The Washington Free Beacon)

JUSTICE IN GOFUNDME SCAM: “Three days after a homeless veteran was sentenced for his role in a GoFundMe campaign that netted $402,706 and defrauded donors with a fake Good Samaritan tale, Katelyn McClure appeared before the same judge in Superior Court in Mount Holly to admit her role in a conspiracy that preyed on people’s sympathies. McClure, 29, of Bordentown, pleaded guilty Monday before Judge Christopher Garrenger as part of an agreement that calls for her to face a four-year prison term.” (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

Stalinista Dems subpoena

independentsentinel.com } ~ Based on known perjurer Michael Cohen’s testimony, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chair scumbag-Elijah Cummings subpoenaed President Trump’s financial information from Mazar’s... That is an accounting firm that once prepared Trump’s financial statements. This is worse than a witch hunt. It’s what they do in communist countries. The committee wants ten years of records after notorious liar Cohen told the committee Trump lied about his net worth so he could buy the Buffalo Bills NFL team. scumbag-Cummings, a true partisan, claims there are “corroborating documents” raising grave concerns about the President’s accuracy in financial reporting. The House committee is a legislative body and not a law enforcement agency. This is not within their purview. Rep. Jim Jordan called it a “grave abuse of the committee’s authority.”“This subpoena is a grave abuse of the committee’s authority and a violation of the Chairman’s pledge to the committee. For these reasons, I reluctantly write to inform the members of the committee why I strongly object to Chairman Cumming’s unprecedented subpoena to Mazars and his irresponsible and gravely dangerous course of conduct in a singular obsession of attacking President Trump and his family for political gain.” At the same time, the Chair of the House Intelligence Committee scumbag-Adam Schiff subpoenaed Trump family Deutsche bank records. The lying leaker scumbag-Schiff has no legitimate reason to request the records. It’s also an abuse of power as they attempt to find some reason to impeach the President...

House Dems Sign Secret MOUs To Target Trump

saraacarter.com } ~ Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee scumbag-Elijah Cummings and Financial Services Chairwoman scumbag/mad-Maxine Waters executed a secret Memorandum of Understanding to “target” President Trump... and subpoena all his financial and banking records, according to a letter sent to scumbag-Cummings from ranking committee member Rep. Jim Jordan. Further, Jordan’s letter indicates that other MOUs have apparently been signed and agreed to with House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Rep. scumbag-Adam Schiff, D-Ca, who has promised to continue investigations into the president despite findings by Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s office that there was no conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. Attorney General William Barr released a summary of dirty cop-Mueller’s 400 page report several weeks ago and the redacted version of the report is expected to be released by the DOJ this Thursday. On Monday, Jordan sent a memorandum explaining his objections to the partisan behavior of scumbag-Cummings and “unprecedented subpoena to Mazars USA LLP,” as reported by SaraACarter.com.“We’d describe the MOUs as an agreement to conspire and coordinate their efforts to attack and investigate POTUS,” said a congressional official with knowledge of the MOUs. “This is not how committee’s normally operate. Dems aren’t interested in legislating. Only attacking POTUS.” Jordan emphatically objected to the secret MOUs and excoriated Democrats who “did not consult with Republican Members of the Committee or allow Members to consider and debate the terms of your MOU before executing the MOU with Chairwoman scumbag/mad-Waters. You did not disclose the MOU’s existence to Members or the American people until after I raised the matter.” In the letter Jordan asks scumbag-Cummings to “provide greater transparency around your secretive conduct.”...

A Reckoning Is in Store for Democrats

nationalreview.com } ~ The crisis of the Democrats is becoming more evident each week. Those of us who have been loudly predicting for years that the Russian-collusion argument would be exposed as a defamatory farce... and that the authors of it would eventually pay for it, are bemused at the fallback position of the Trump-haters: that the distinguished attorney general has whitewashed the president in his summary and his decision that there was no obstruction of justice. One of the most entertaining moments of news-watching in many years came last week, when former national intelligence director scumbag-James Clapper said it was “scary” and former FBI director scumbag-Comey said it was “bizarre” to hear Attorney General William Barr say that the Trump campaign had been spied on. It has been obvious for a long time that both these men and former CIA director scumbag/commie-John Brennan lied under oath on a number of occasions, and scumbag-Comey’s complaint last week that “court-ordered surveillance” wasn’t spying is going to get a full assessment when the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) warrants that were the court authorization in this case, and were obtained on the basis of false campaign smears assembled and paid for by the scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign, are judicially considered.  Given the proportions of the scam that has been perpetrated, the principal actors, including those just named, deserve commendation for the imperishability of their unctuousness. These people seem still to be oblivious to the fact that lying under oath and producing false FISA applications are serious offenses. And some of the congressional Democrats, such as Congressmen scumbag/lia-Nadler, scumbag-Swallwill, and scumbag-Schiff the new-millennium version of “Martin, Barton, and Fish,” made infamous by FDR in 1940, seem to think they have a perfect constitutional right to keep the president in the pillory of their spurious investigations indefinitely. The whole edifice of the Trump moral crisis is coming down in shards around the ears of the scumbag/liar-Clinton and scumbag/liar-nObama Democrats. The numberless candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination will presumably go to hilarious extremes to sidestep the whole Trump-impeachment debacle, but the credibility of the Democratic party, given the total immersion the scumbag/liar-Clinton/scumbag/liar-nObama era is about to receive in the Trump-collusion perfidy, will not be unscathed. After the brave launches of the candidacies, almost all of them have floundered. Kirsten Gillibrand, who has done and said absolutely nothing to merit consideration as president, has launched and sunk down the slipways and beneath the waves — her candidacy has attracted zero support. Most of the other candidates are equally unprepossessing. scumbag-Cory Booker, perhaps the most compulsively verbose candidate since Hubert Humphrey who was a good deal more thoughtful and entertaining, is apparently full of goodwill, but very inadequate. lowlife-Kamala Harris seems to have the makings of a good candidate, but she is already tangled up in the runaway leftward nonsense of open borders, socialized medicine, high taxes, and the Green terror. socialist-Beto O’Rourke, as foreseen, after a brief flurry, has skateboarded off the dock and been abandoned by the media as an arm-flapping airhead. Elizabeth dinky-Warren is everyone’s nightmare of a severe, humorless kindergarten teacher, and she will not recover from her masquerade as a native Indian. Amy Klobuchar is sensible and seems likeable but has no pizzazz and hasn’t made inroads so far with radical normalcy, though its time could come...   https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/04/a-reckoning-is-in-store-for-democrats-in-2020/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NR%20Daily%20Monday%20through%20Friday%202019-04-16&utm_term=NRDaily-Smart

freedomoutpost.com } ~ What is going on in Europe is the direct result of allowing the followers of a murdering, thieving, demonically possessed pedophile named Muhammad to run roughshod over their countries... The US has also been seeing a steady decline in Islamic jihad, Islamic political involvement and even fake "hate crimes" produced by Islamists. Now, it's happened in South Carolina, where a church was vandalized, windows broken and the words “SUBMIT TO GOD THRU ISLAM” and “MUHAMMED IS HIS PROPHET” were spray painted on the outside walls. While neither the Church nor law enforcement wants to refer to this as being done by Muslims, I ask, who else would be writing this garbage? According to WSPA, the vandalism occurred at Midway Presbyterian Church on Midway Road in Anderson County, South Carolina.Elders at the church said that they did not let the vandalism disrupt their services and lunch on Sunday, but did find it disturbing. Sadly, even they seemed to not want to speculate on the obvious religion of those who committed the crime. “It was very disturbing because we feel like this was an individual act and we don’t hold any religious group responsible for it,” said Bob Harrell. “We think it most likely was some misguided young people. However, we do take it very seriously and we’ll do everything we can to assist law enforcement...

westernjournal.com } ~ The self-styled “caliphate” of the Islamic State group terror army that once stretched across parts of Syria and Iraq may be gone... but the jihadist organization continues to issue threats against Western civilization while reveling in any misfortune experienced in the West. Such was the case on Monday when flames engulfed the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France. Propaganda was released almost immediately from affiliates of the terrorist group celebrating the significant destruction of the more than 850-year-old Catholic church. The Daily Mail reported that a poster produced by an Islamic State group-affiliated outfit known as the Al-Muntasir group began to circulate online while the historic Catholic church in the heart of France was still on fire. An intelligence organization that tracks terrorism, the Terrorism Research & Analysis Consortium, discovered the poster and brought it to the attention of the media. That poster featured a picture of the burning cathedral with a large caption in Arabic that read: “Have a good day.” The poster also featured smaller subtext in French which read: “Its construction began in the year 1163 and ended in 1345. It’s time to say goodbye to your oratory polytheism.” The destruction of the cathedral, which occurred on the day after Palm Sunday at the start of the Holy Week, was reportedly characterized by the jihadists as well-deserved “retribution and punishment” for the Christian West, according to SITE intelligence. To be sure, there is absolutely no evidence that would suggest that the Islamic State group — or any other terrorist organization, for that matter — had anything to do with the horrific fire that threatened to destroy the famous medieval Gothic structure. At this time, French authorities have expressed their belief that the terrible blaze was linked to an ongoing construction and renovation project at the cathedral...

Yes, America Needs Walls. But the Country 
Is Not 'Full.'

Marc A. Thiessen
 

President Trump is 100 percent correct that there is a crisis on our southern border. And he is absolutely right when he says some migrants are abusing our asylum laws. But he is dead wrong when he declares, in what has become his favorite refrain, that “Our country is FULL.”

Sorry, our country is not full. Not by a long shot. The opposite is true. We need more immigrants, lots of them. In fact, no one needs immigrants more than Trump.

Today, thanks to Trump’s leadership, the U.S. economy is strong. Unemployment recently reached its lowest level in 49 years. U.S. manufacturing employment is growing at the fastest pace in nearly a quarter-century. On Trump’s watch, the unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanics and Americans without a high school diploma have all reached the lowest points ever recorded.

The Wall Street Journal recently called this “the hottest job market in half a century,” declaring that “Workers are so scarce that, in many parts of the country, low-skill jobs are being handed out to pretty much anyone willing to take them — and high-skilled workers are in even shorter supply. All sorts of people who have previously had trouble landing a job are now finding work. Racial minorities, those with less education and people working in the lowest-paying jobs are getting bigger pay raises and, in many cases, experiencing the lowest unemployment rate ever recorded for their groups.”

In some places, unemployment is so low that employers can’t find workers to fill the jobs. There are now a record 6.5 million job openings in the United States. According to the National Federation of Independent Business, 39% of small businesses say they have a job opening they can’t fill, and 90% of business owners who hired or tried to hire workers reported few or no qualified applicants for the position. Nearly a quarter of all small-business owners report that finding qualified workers is their “single most important business problem.” And the demand for seasonal workers is so big that, when the application window for H-2B visas opened up on Jan. 1, the Labor Department’s electronic filing system for the visas crashed due to overwhelming demand. Employers requested three times as many visas as were available.

To quote my American Enterprise Institute colleague Michael R. Strain, “this is a good problem to have.” But it is a problem. If Trump wants to keep this strong economy going, and achieve his stated goal of sustained 3% growth throughout his presidency, he needs more workers.

The trouble is, the United States is not producing enough native-born workers. According to the Economic Innovation Group, 80% of U.S. counties lost prime working-age adults from 2007 through 2017. And the situation is not improving. According to Census Bureau data, our population growth rate for fiscal year 2017-2018 was 0.62% — the lowest since 1937, during the Great Depression. The U.S. population is now growing at less than replacement levels.

The decline is driven in large part by millennials, who are marrying and having children at much lower rates than previous generations. It’s ironic. Many millennials want socialism, but they are not producing the future workers and taxpayers needed to pay for it.

The only thing stopping us from overall population decline is the arrival of immigrants, who account for about 48% of U.S. population growth. And immigration “is projected to be the primary contributor to national population growth after 2030,” the Brookings Institution reported.

So, we need more immigrants. Americans understand this. Eighty-four percent say legal immigration is good for the country, and only 29% believe it should be decreased — the lowest level since 1965. Unfortunately, Sens. Tom Cotton, R.-Ark., David Perdue, R.-Ga., and Josh Hawley, R-Mo., have introduced legislation that would reduce legal immigration by 50% over 10 years. No doubt, our immigration system is in need of sensible reforms, such as eliminating the visa lottery system, ending chain migration and imposing a mandatory E-Verify process. But an overall reduction in immigration would be disastrous for the country. We need immigrants to stop population decline. We need immigrants to work and pay taxes that fund Social Security and Medicare for our aging population. And we need immigrants to provide the human capital for continued economic growth and prosperity. If the president wants to keep this economic boom going, he needs more people coming to the United States, not fewer.

So, yes, our shining city on a hill needs walls — because the world is a dangerous place, and we are a nation of laws. But, as President Ronald Reagan put in it his farewell address, those walls must also have doors. And the sign above those doors should read “Welcome to America” — not “Sorry, we’re full.”  ~The Patriot Post

How Minneapolis' Somali community became 
the terrorist recruitment capital of the US

foxnews.com } ~ More men and boys from a Somali American community in Minneapolis have joined – or attempted to join... a foreign terrorist organization over the last 12 years than any other jurisdiction in the country. FBI stats show 45 Somalis left to join the ranks of either the Somalia-based Islamic insurgency al-Shabab, or the Iraq- and Syria-based ISIS combined. And as of 2018, a dozen more had been arrested with the intention of leaving to support ISIS. Both numbers are far higher than those of alleged terrorist wannabes who left or attempted to leave the country from other areas in the country where Muslim refugees have been resettled. In the case of the Somalis, it's no longer just the men. Early last year, a female was apprehended by authorities on charges of supporting providing material support to Al Qaeda and arson. So what has made the area such a hotbed for such activity? And what has been Rep. Ilhan Omar's record in addressing the issue - either before she was elected, or since? The answers matter because federal authorities say they remain "highly concerned" about the terrorist connection with the Minneapolis Somalis - even though al-Shabab is struggling against the Somali government, and the so-called ISIS “caliphate” has crumbled under a sustained U.S.-led military campaign...

The Left's Overreach on Abortion

americanthinker.com } ~ One thing the left is adept at is overreaching. Not content with a small victory, they prefer to double down, going double-or-nothing, and usually ending up closer to nothing than double... Some call this, “Perfect is the enemy of the good” and it is sage advice, whether in politics or in gambling. Pushing the Trump-Russia collusion coup is but one example of such overreach, as AG William Barr will soon demonstrate. Abortion is the latest issue where Democrats, as well as their leftist cultural and media accomplices, have taken what is for them a solid win and are overreaching to the point that they will actually lose ground in one of their core missions of aborting as many babies as possible. Roe v. Wade settled the abortion debate in 1973, legally although not morally, when the U.S. Supreme Court found that a right to privacy outweighed states’ rights to regulate abortion, with the ultimate compromise being a restriction on third-term abortions. A subsequent court ruling in Casey v. Planned Parenthood further clarified the third trimester prohibition, eliminating the arbitrary trimester distinction, instead allowing abortion only until viability, which with modern medical care is usually in the second trimester. The debate was never settled as it represented a textbook example of judicial activism. Nine unelected justices made the decision of when a woman can have an abortion. The legislative and executive branches of the federal government were left out of the decision, despite the fact that those two branches were elected by the people to represent the will of “we the people”...  https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/the_lefts_overreach_on_abortion.html

Barr: dirty cop-Mueller turned 
down offer to review Russia probe findings
By Kyle Cheney and Andrew Desiderio

politico.com } ~ Attorney General William Barr rebuffed Democrats’ demands that he turn over special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's full report and all its underlying evidence to Congress...
 telling lawmakers on Tuesday that he’ll release a redacted version of the report “within a week.” In his first public appearance since the conclusion of dirty cop-Mueller’s 22-month investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and whether President Donald Trump obstructed that probe, Barr defended his handling of the report against attacks from Democrats, who panned his four-page summary as an effort to protect Trump from damaging information contained within the report. The attorney general also said lawmakers had no inherent authority to review dirty cop-Mueller’s sensitive grand jury evidence, adding that he does not intend to ask a court to authorize the release of grand jury evidence to Congress. “My intention is not to ask for it at this stage,” he said, adding that he doesn’t believe Congress is exempt from grand jury secrecy rules under the law. Democrats have called on Barr to make the full report, including all the grand jury material and underlying evidence gathered as part of the investigation, available to Congress. Barr on Tuesday said the House Judiciary Committee could ask a court for the grand jury information — something Democrats have not yet embraced. Barr called the version he intends to release in the coming days a “first pass” and said he’ll work with House Judiciary Committee Chairman scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) and his Senate counterpart, Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), if they want to view some of the redacted areas of the report...

dailysignal.com } ~ A Mexican national was sentenced to one month in prison for illegally voting in the 2016 presidential election, a U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina announced Monday... Guadalupe Espinosa-Pena, 61, pleaded guilty to illegally voting in the 2016 general election in North Carolina. He was consequently sentenced to one month in prison followed by a supervised release for one year. Espinosa-Pena is a lawful permanent resident in Wake County, however, his application for United States citizenship had been denied. He had attempted to register to vote prior to the election but was initially denied since he was not a U.S. citizen. An election official ultimately registered Espinosa-Pena and advised him that “if he wanted his voice to be heard, he needed to vote,” according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice. President Donald Trump won North Carolina’s 15 electoral votes in the general election, defeating former Secretary of State scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton by only 3.6%, or fewer than 200,000 votes. However, scumbag/liar-Clinton won Wake County by one of the largest margins in the state of North Carolina. It is not clear which candidate Espinosa-Pena voted for during the 2016 election...

{tommclaughlin.blogspot.com} ~ Daylight was just breaking as I drove out of Shannon Airport in our rental car after a red-eye flight from the USA. Although there were two feet of snow around my house when I left Maine, I smelled freshly-mown grass in Shannon. Birds were chirping and trees were flowering and I inhaled the distinctive fragrance of burning peat from a nearby chimney. My wife and I had a couple of days to kill before heading north to meet my brother and his girlfriend in Carndonagh, Donegal on the Inishowen Peninsula to show them the farm where our great-grandfather, James “Wee John” McLaughlin was born in 1878.

We drove to the old monastery at Clonmacnoise near Athlone in County Offaly on the River Shannon. It had been established by St. Ciaran in 544 AD as a center of teaching and learning. Along with St. Patrick and others, Irish monks brought civilization to what had been a collection of savage tribes in Ireland. As if that weren’t enough, they then preserved European civilization after Germanic barbarians overran the western Roman Empire by harboring other monks who brought precious manuscripts with them containing much of the accumulated knowledge of Rome. Monks from Clonmacnoise, Glendalough, and other Irish abbeys made multiple copies and redistributed them in western Europe after the barbarians had settled down.

After revisiting our ancestral McLaughlin homestead in Inishowen, my wife and I headed south to explore the Beara Peninsula which straddles Counties Cork and Kerry where the Sullivans and Harringtons, also on my father’s side, originated. We stayed at a B&B in Kenmare which is central to Beara, Dingle, and Macroom, Cork near whereother ancestors, the Mahoneys, lived.

The Dingle Peninsula on the southwest coast has the most stunning landscape in Ireland. I haven’t been everywhere, but I’ve seen quite a bit of the country and I have to agree with several others who consider Dingle the prettiest. My wife and I visited there ten years ago but it was snowing sideways and visibility was poor. Last week the sun was in and out and we spent most of a day driving all over it. All of Ireland is charming but Dingle with its steep mountains down to the sea is quite dramatic.

Returning to our B&B in Kenmare, the Garmin GPS unit directed us through the Gap of Dunloe, across The Black Valley, and on through Moll’s Gap. I would not have chosen that route if I knew what was involved. It’s a one-lane road for almost the entire eleven kilometers snaking up high and down low through switchbacks and around glacial boulders that have toppled into the two gaps and between which the car barely fit. I shifted into low gear and crawled around each sharp turn in case another vehicle was coming the other way. If there were, he or I would have to back up to a wider spot and drive past each other without breaking off our mirrors. My wife was almost in a panic several times, while I strove to resist the contagion of her anxiety as I steered.

For her it was like riding on the scariest of roller coasters as we traveled through several such gaps and passes all over the mountainous regions of Ireland. She would marvel at the stupendous views, often saying: “Look at that!” but I simply couldn’t. I had to concentrate on the road ahead lest we drive off a cliff into oblivion. There are very few trees in Ireland which allows for wonderful panoramas, but it also reveals hair-raising views of how far down our car would fall off a steep mountainside before ever hitting bottom.

Not a country renowned for culinary skills, it used to be said that an Irish seven-course meal was a six pack and a boiled potato. Trying to keep down expenses, we sometimes purchased our dinner at the deli counter of a local supermarket and went back to our room at the B&B to eat, but when we ate at a restaurant or a pub on this trip we were quite pleased.

Wherever we went there was talk of Brexit both in the North and in the Free Republic of Ireland. All are disappointed that negotiations are extended for another year. They want it over with but neither side wants a “hard border” between Northern Ireland and the Republic which may result. Ireland ships a lot of food to the UK and Irish people are unsure of how trade conditions would change. Some in the North think reunification of Ireland north and south might happen. If Scotland breaks with the UK, Northern Ireland may as well. We toured Derry’s Walls and got a first-hand account of the troubles there, now quiet after the Good Friday Agreement negotiated by former Maine Senator George Mitchell has held for twenty years now.

Medicare for All Means Private

spectator.org } ~ Democrats won on the issue of healthcare in 2018 because they campaigned on protecting the coverage Americans possessed... For the 2020 presidential primaries, several Democrats run on taking away that coverage. “Let’s eliminate all of that,” lowlife-Kamala Harris says of private insurance. “Let’s move on.” Kirsten Gillibrand calls abolishing private insurance “an urgent goal.” “Under Medicare for all we cover all basic healthcare needs, so they’re not going to be there to do that,” commie-Bernie Sanders says of existing insurance companies. “I suppose if you want to make yourself look a little bit more beautiful, you want to work on that nose or your ears, they can do that.” The words strike as more reckless if more honest than “if you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it.” Medicare for All, as the fine print details, means private insurance for none. Pundits call this an “unforced error.” But that phrase does not fully grasp the dynamics involved in ideological compulsions. Some powerful, irresistible force moves these Democrats to remove their liberal masks to reveal Venezuelan-style socialists. They imagine their hatred for the president so near-universal as to make his defeat a fait accompli and enthusiasm for socialism such an unstoppable wave that they resolve to not just catch it first but to be seen catching it first.Democratic candidates call healthcare a right in mantra-like fashion. Gillibrand, for instance, insisted “health care must be a right, not a privilege” at the rally last week reintroducing the Medicare for All bill. But in what kind of a country do you get to exercise a right only through the government? Imagine if in affirming a right to free speech one added the caveat that one could communicate only through government-run publications, websites, and broadcast stations. Or, if the freedom of religion found expression only through the one true church established by the state. Or, if the right to transportation meant solely a ride on a smelly, sweaty city bus. This makes a farce of any sane understanding of rights, as does the notion of a “right” to healthcare exercised through insuring that nobody possesses the right to obtain healthcare save from the state. This all seems the stuff of Five Year Plans and Great Leaps Forward. Yet, five major presidential candidates — commie-Bernie Sanders, scumbag-Cory Booker, Elizabeth dinky-Warren, lowlife-Kamala Harris, and Kirsten Gillibrand — serve as sponsors in the Senate of the Medicare for All bill... If you buy into this you are a bigger fool then those socialist are.
9 Apocalyptic Lies Fed To Americans 
About The Republican Tax Bill

{/thefederalist.com} ~ Monday is the first Tax Day under the new Republican tax bill passed in December 2017, and the results are not what Democrats and their media apparatus predicted... Many Americans are discovering that they are not only alive and well, but indeed paying less taxes. As Ben Casselman and Jim Tankersley pointed out in The New York Times, there is a disparity between what Americans thought they would be paying the IRS this year, and what they actually paid. This myth, “appears to flow from a sustained — and misleading — effort by liberal opponents of the law to brand it as a broad middle-class tax increase.” What falsities did these liberal opponents tell the American people would happen pending the passing of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act? Here are a few of the most outrageous examples of fear-mongering.

1. 10,000 People Will Be Killed Every Year
Economist and former Treasury secretary Larry Summers wrote in a Washington Post op-ed that “the conclusion would follow that the tax bill would result in 10,000 extra deaths per year.” On CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” he explained why he thought the bill was “very dangerous.” “When people lose health insurance, they’re less likely to get preventive care, they’re more likely to defer health care they need, and ultimately they’re more likely to die,” he said.

2. The Tax Bill Is ‘Akin To Rape’
Bruce Bartlett, a writer and former Treasury official, said the bill would not create a single job, that Republicans want the poor to pay more taxes to force them to work more, and that the bill is “really akin to rape.”

The US Must Stop Iran's Takeover of Yemen

gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ One of the primary revolutionary ideals to which the ruling clerics of the Islamic Republic of Iran are dedicated to upholding is not to limit the implementation of its version of Islamic laws to just Iran... The ruling clerics are also committed to exporting Iran's revolutionary principle and expanding the fundamentalist mission to other nations. How do they carry this out? By effectively taking over other countries. Lebanon,  through Iran's proxy Hizballah, was the first. Then came Syria, and finally, Iraq -- with the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip  waiting in the wings. With each victory, the ruling mullahs of Iran have grown increasingly lethal and increasingly bold. At present, and for several years, Iran has set its sights on Yemen. This is not a random or new philosophy. This mission is part of Iran's constitution. Its preamble states that it "provides the necessary basis for ensuring the continuation of the Revolution at home and abroad." The document goes on to say that Iran's Army and Revolutionary Guards "will be responsible not only for guarding and preserving the frontiers of the country, but also for fulfilling the ideological mission of Shiite jihad in God's way; that is, extending the sovereignty of God's Shiite law throughout the world ... in the hope that this century will witness the establishment of a universal holy government and the downfall of all others."...

thefederalist.com } ~ The April 2019 election victory for Benjamin Netanyahu will see him serve a record fifth term as Israeli prime minister and form a new right-wing coalition government... It also brings the promise of a commitment Netanyahu made to the nation during his campaign: That he would annex Jewish settlements in occupied Palestinian territories. Vowing to extend sovereignty without distinguishing between settlement blocks and the isolated settlements, Netanyahu promised not to transfer any sovereignty to the Palestinians. His victory in the elections will, hopefully, see the enactment of Netanyahu’s promise. Israel has the moral right to annex all of the West Bank even Area C for a plethora of reasons. Israel’s Mistake Was Allowing the Palestinian Pretense. Israel made an altruistic mistake toward the Palestinian people after the 1967 defensive war with Jordan. Rather than regard them as “war settlers” or refugees or, after legally occupying conquered territory, as “illegal occupants,” they made the Palestinian people their political and moral problem. After victory, the “war settlers” could have been seen as enemies of the state: supporters of the Fatah Palestine Liberation Organization Charter, which basically calls for the end of Jewry in the region. Under a malevolent and illiberal regime, they would have been regarded and treated as such, not as Israel did treat them: as human beings with specific, inalienable rights. Under a different set of political sensibilities, the Palestinian people would have been militarily removed from the area because, morally speaking, after the 1967 war, they never belonged there. The proper response from Israel should have been to immediately annex the land and make the people there the responsibility of their original political homeland: Jordan...

European Trade Channel with Iran May be 
Used to Circumvent Russia Sanctions 
by Matthew Zweig 

fdd.org } ~  Britain, France, and Germany launched a special trade channel in January that aims to facilitate European business with Iran in a manner not susceptible to U.S. sanctions...
 The channel has not been used much, for fear of U.S. sanctions and other corporate risk. However, there is a growing likelihood that the EU could use this trade channel, or develop one like it, to circumvent U.S. sanctions against Russia. The Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX) for promoting trade with Iran was the European response to the U.S.’s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran. The instrument uses a barter system to provide Iran financial inducements to ensure that it does not also exit the nuclear deal. But INSTEX faces significant  obstacles, such as mandatory reporting on Iran-related transactions for any company listed on the U.S. stock exchange. The EU’s use of the INSTEX or a similar mechanism may now also be used to circumvent U.S. bilateral and secondary sanctions on Russia. The flashpoint will likely be Nord Stream 2, a natural gas pipeline project criticized by both the Trump administration and many U.S. legislators that would deliver Russian natural gas to Germany directly via the Baltic Sea. While the United States and EU coordinated on most Ukraine-related sanctions on Russia, U.S. sanctions against Russia in the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act of 2017 (CAATSA) has resulted in a divergence of views and approaches. CAATSA dramatically strengthened the U.S. sanctions architecture, mandating secondary sanctions against anyone that does business with a sanctioned entity. This put European companies with considerable Russia exposure in the crosshairs...

Roger Helle:  I have to say, I was somewhat troubled when I heard that in just 10 years, life as we know it is going to end … or something. When I listened to the explanation of what we needed to do to save the world, I was even more concerned.

I guess my problem is, being older and still having my faculties, I seem to remember in the 1970s Time  magazine had an article about the coming Ice Age. Still waiting! In 2008, scumbag-Al Gore predicted that because of global warming the East Coast would be under water in 10 years. Wait — that would have been 2018. I was in New York City in January and it “seemed” to be okay.

Several years ago, the ice pack in Antarctica was not shrinking but growing — at a rate of 100 billion tons per year. Wow! Billions? That seems like a lot, but I’m no expert; I could be missing something. I don’t know where you live, but I’m happy if the weatherman gets it right for the upcoming weekend. Yet we have experts telling us what will happen in 100 years. Now it’s down to only 10 years.

I am amazed at how much commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez learned while working as a bartender. She must have really studied at her job. Her degree was in economics and international relations. We’re told “climate change” is settled science. I was in school before Time  predicted the coming Ice Age and I was told that science is never settled, because we are always learning new things.

But I want to keep an open mind, so I looked into what we need to do. I have to say, I will miss hamburgers. I know cows fart a lot (I’m a senior citizen, so I relate) but still, no burgers? No more air travel? No planes? Well, no planes for most of us. The really smart people will still need to get around and we can’t fault them for that, can we?

I will look forward to having my home rebuilt to be energy efficient, I guess. Will I have to pay for it or will the government do it? As all of us have to do that, seems like that could be expensive. But if that is what we need to do, I guess I will just have to get with the program.

Electricity is going to be pretty hard to get when all we have is wind and solar power. I mean, I live in the South, but we don’t have wind like when I lived in Nebraska! We have sunshine, so that may work … some days. France’s nuclear plants produce nearly 70% of that country’s power. Wow! I mean if the French can do that, we surely can. Wait, that’s not allowed either; no nuclear plants.

The proponents of the Green New Deal really care for us. Trust them! Just give them everything we have and they will see that it happens. There is one thing of some concern. It seems we are the only country that is supposed to destroy our economy and way of life to save the world. What about the rest of the world? What will they do?

We could totally destroy our economy, the greatest and freest in the world, and it will make no difference if other nations do nothing. Has Congresswoman commie-Ocasio-Cortez floated this by Russia, China, India, and most of Africa? I’m not hearing anything. Those nations alone would completely eliminate any change we “might” make; especially when we do not have conclusive proof that humans can change the weather on this planet.

Congresswoman, get some buy-in from these other nations and get back to us!

Footnote Highlights Corruption of 
dirty cop-Mueller’s FBI Investigative Team

theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Margot Cleveland has an interesting article in The Federalist today outlining how the DOJ dirty cop-Mueller investigation of Christopher Steele was dropped... Essentially the article outlines how Lindsey Graham and Chuck Grassley sent a criminal referral of Chris Steele to Rosenstein/dirty cop-Mueller in January 2018; however the case was used as a shield to ward-off FOIA inquiry, but the case was never actually pursued – and eventually dropped. At the time of the 2018 referral CTH noted the Grassley/Graham referral was not what it appeared. Additionally, with hindsight and a greater understanding of the dirty cop-Mueller team corruption, we can see how this specific referral hits the center of the FBI intent around their Russia collusion-conspiracy. The issue surrounds the October 2016 Carter Page FISA application and how the Steele Dossier was used therein. When the stories first broke about the Steele Dossier being the majority of the FBI evidence (December 2017), the FBI investigators were claiming they were never aware of Chris Steele shopping his dossier to the media. However, at the same time Glenn Simpson was testifying to congress that the FBI knew Chris Steele was shopping the dossier. The need for everyone to see what Fusion-GPS Glenn Simpson was saying is the reason why Dianne Fein-stein “accidentally” released the Simpson transcript (remember, she had a cold). Fein-stein released the transcript five days after the Graham/Grassley referral. Democrats knew everyone needed to be on the same page and reading from the same manuscript. I digress…Also remember, dirty cop-Robert Mueller took over the counterintelligence investigation; so the FBI investigators from Crossfire Hurricane (2016) were now the same “40 FBI investigators” on dirty cop-Mueller’s team in 2017...

thefederalist.com } ~ When Attorney General William Barr acknowledged the Donald Trump campaign was spied on in 2016 by agencies investigating a dramatic conspiracy theory about alleged collusion with Russia... and said he’d like to review the matter, those who pushed the theory began to panic. Some media figures attempted to deny that spying had occurred, even though it had been revealed in various and sundry ways. They conceded that overseas intelligence assets had been placed against the campaign, that wiretaps had been secured, and that national security letters had been drafted, but they claimed these examples of spying were not spying. That they’d regularly and repeatedly referred to them as spying in non-Trump contexts slowed them down not at all. Some tried to pretend that the only example of spying was the surveillance of Carter Page, but that it didn’t count because he’d left the campaign before the surveillance began. There were a few problems, including that wiretaps can be used to secure information from months and years prior to the date it is obtained. Besides, Page had encounters with an overseas U.S. intelligence asset while he was still on the campaign. So had other campaign affiliates. The media had previously reported that four Trump affiliates had been spied on secretly surveilled: Page, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, and Mike Flynn. It is unclear what other American citizens on the Trump campaign, if anyone, were spied on by their government. Last Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” a quintet of pundits sputtered about Barr’s description. Barr specifically said he was not saying anything improper had definitively happened, just that it needed to be reviewed since spying on American citizens was such a serious thing. “Spying did occur. Yes, I think spying did occur. The question is whether it was predicated, adequately predicated,” he said...   https://thefederalist.com/2019/04/16/no-joe-scarborough-spying-on-trump-wasnt-done-by-the-book/

by algemeiner.com:  Freshman Congresswoman commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) asserted in a media interview over the weekend that cutting military and economic aid to Israel should be “on the table.”... “I think it is certainly on the table. I think it’s something that can be discussed,” the prominent progressiver lawmaker said on Yahoo’s “Skullduggery” podcast on Sunday. commie-Ocasio-Cortez said that newly re-elected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s pledge to annex territory in the West Bank should be opposed by the US government. She also criticized Netanyahu as a “Trump-like figure.” “I think these are part of conversations we are having in our caucus, but I think what we are really seeing is an ascent of authoritarianism across the world,” she said.The Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) on Monday strongly criticized commie-Ocasio-Cortez for her comments. “We are pleased commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recognizes she is NOT a leader on Israel in Congress,” the group said in a statement. “We recommend she engage with Dem leaders Eliot Engel, Nita Lowey, & Ted Deutch before contemplating the future of US military aid to Israel.” The JDCA emphasized US-Israel ties “must supersede politics.”...

{ foxnews.com } ~ Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan on Monday designated Customs and Border Protection Chief Operating Officer John Sanders as acting CBP commissioner... filling McAleenan's former post in the latest staffing shake-up at the Department of Homeland Security. McAleenan, who was appointed acting DHS secretary following the resignation of Kirstjen Nielsen April 7, designated Sanders to take over “as the senior official performing the functions and duties of the commissioner” of CBP. “John Sanders has proven instrumental to advancing CBP’s mission and organizational priorities across the agency,” McAleenan said in a statement. “In addition to bringing greater focus on the agency’s operational requirements, he has provided strategic direction and oversight to critical enterprise services and operations support functions across the agency.” He added: “With John Sanders’ leadership, CBP will continue to excel, remain ever vigilant, and accomplish the mission with steadfast resolve.” Monday's announcement caps a turbulent week for DHS. Last Sunday, President Trump announced  Nielsen would resign from her post and be replaced with McAleenan. But Nielsen’s resignation was only the beginning. By last Monday, U.S. Secret Service Director Randolph ‘Tex’ Alles stepped down from his post after he was told to “prepare an exit plan,” in a signal, almost two weeks ago, that a transition in leadership at DHS was imminent...   https://www.foxnews.com/politics/acting-dhs-secretary-mcaleenan-designates-new-acting-cbp-commissioner-in-latest-agency-staffing-shake-up

The New York Times mysteriously obtained a letter   that commie-Bernie Sanders sent CAP and TP accusing them of orchestrating attacks on him and two other 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, Elizabeth dinky-Warren, and scumbag-Cory Booker. He wants it to stop as he insists they are dividing the party and lessening Democrat chances of winning in 2020. “Center for American Progress leader Neera Tanden repeatedly calls for unity while simultaneously maligning my staff and supporters and belittling progressive ideas,” commie-Sanders wrote, adding: “I and other Democratic candidates are running campaigns based on principles and ideas and not engaging in mudslinging or personal attacks on each other. Meanwhile, the Center for American Progress is using its resources to smear Senator scumbag-Booker, Senator dinky-Warren, and myself, among others. This is hardly the way to build unity, or to win the general election.” It’s not that CAP and TP are any less left, it’s that they believe the country will more likely vote for the candidate who is less honest about how left they are and appears more mainstream...

Big Labor Is Losing Big Money

Brian Mark Weber:  The Left is still stinging from Donald Trump’s 2016 victory, made possible by blue-collar Democrats in states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. These voters took a chance on a wealthy New York businessman who spoke their language, and he rewarded them by fighting to stop the outsourcing of American jobs and to reverse decades of industrial decline.

Heading into the 2020 campaign, two conditions might keep those same voters in Trump’s corner. First is the fact that unemployment has reached a record low, and some segments of America’s industrial base have begun to recover. Second is the very real threat that many workers feel from wave after wave of (illegal) immigrants who compete for their jobs and drive down their wages.

So what’s a Democrat to do when union workers start voting Republican? commie-Bernie Sanders has a plan, and it’s all about restricting their freedom by trashing all right-to-work laws.

But let’s take a step back and see how we got to this point.

In the wake of last year’s Janus v. AFSCME ruling, workers who weren’t members of a union no longer had to fork over fees for collective bargaining and other expenses unless they voluntarily chose to do so. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito concluded that forcing workers to pay union dues “violates the First Amendment and cannot continue.” Moreover, he wrote, “Neither an agency fee nor any other payment to the union may be deducted from a non-member’s wages, nor may any other attempt be made to collect such a payment, unless the employee affirmatively consents to pay.”

Fast forward one year. If unions had been providing these workers with so many benefits in return for their mandatory fees, they’d still remain members even after the Janus ruling, right?

Instead, they left in droves.

Hot Air’s Jazz Shaw asks, “What did anyone really expect? If those non-members were fully in support of the unions and didn’t object to kicking in for their political efforts they’d already be members of the union. If they agreed with all of the blatantly partisan political shenanigans the unions are constantly up to, they likely wouldn’t have minded kicking in toward the cause. Anyone shocked by these numbers really needs to pull their heads out of the sand.”

And the numbers don’t look good for unions. CBS News reported earlier this year that union membership in the U.S. hit a record low in 2018.

Of course, these unions have only themselves to blame. Even those who generally oppose what unions have become today have no issue with the principles of safe working conditions and good wages. But many of the issues that led to the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, which gave employees the right to organize into labor unions and bargain with employers, have been resolved over the years. For example, we now have the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Consequently, unions have become little more than Democrat Party political machines, often forcing workers to fork over their hard-earned money to support issues they oppose. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, labor unions gave nearly $60 million to the Democrat Party in the 2016 election cycle. No wonder those who oppose right-to-work laws seem to care so little for the constitutional rights of workers. Instead, what they’re really upset about is how the Janus ruling has eroded their membership rolls and balance sheets – so much so that union-backed Democrats are desperate to stop the bleeding.

Unfortunately for these unions, they have very little to offer potential members. As Stacey Lennox notes at The Resurgent, unions have become “far less effective in negotiating wages and benefits.” She adds, “Most members of industrial unions contribute to their health insurance. Pensions have been converted to 401K’s. And annual salary increases do not exceed the market. Unions also cannot prevent job loss. All they can do is bargain the effects, or what laid-off workers will be entitled to in severance and other items.”

Which brings us back to commie-Bernie Sanders, who wants to abolish right-to-work laws at the federal level. Zack Budryk writes, “commie-Sanders said as president he would push legislation in Congress to prohibit the laws. Right-to-work laws bar unionized workplaces from negotiating contracts under which all members who benefit from the contract must contribute dues. Twenty-six states currently have right-to-work laws on the books.”

What to make of all this? Maybe unions should go back to the basics of fighting for the needs of workers instead of stealing their wages on behalf of the Democrat Party. If not, the Republican Party will be more than happy to welcome them aboard.  ~The Patriot Post

Media Editors:  HISTORY CHARRED: “The famed Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was engulfed in flames on Monday leading to the collapse of the structure’s main spire,” according to Fox News. “The intense flames leaped out from two of its bell towers minutes before the spire collapsed, and later spread to one of the cathedral’s iconic rectangular towers. However, the main structure of the cathedral remained intact, the Paris fire chief said, adding that the blaze was stopped from spreading to the northern belfry.” More lucidly, however, the fire is an important metaphor for Western Christianity.

dirty cop-MUELLER REPORT TICK-TOCK: “Attorney General William Barr plans to release the final report of special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian efforts to sway the 2016 election Thursday. … The 400-page document … will be transmitted to Congress and made public at roughly the same time.

Johnson and Weld ended up capturing just 3.6 percent of the popular vote after a devastating gaffe in which Johnson admitted he was not aware of the existence of the Syrian city of Aleppo, where intense sectarian fighting was then taking place.” (National Review)

commie-SANDERS KEEPS THE WEALTH: The Washington Post reports, “Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders, who has made income inequality a hallmark of his presidential campaign, earned with his wife about $566,000 last year and $1.15 million in 2017, putting them in the nation’s highest income brackets. … commie-Sanders’s annual Senate salary is $174,000. Much of his income came from books he has written about his democratic socialist platform, which includes a call for higher taxes on the wealthiest Americans. … The commie-Sanders campaign said in a news release that he paid a 26 percent effective tax rate in 2018.” Meanwhile, according to NBC News, “The Patriotic Millionaires, a group of about 200 wealthy individuals … say they should be taxed more, and as soon as possible.” Neither commie-Sanders nor the Patriotic Millionaires are prohibited from writing bigger checks to the IRS.

THE FLIP SIDE OF THE TAX COIN: “Of the 150,272,157 tax returns filed for the 2016 tax year, 50,219,667 — or 33.4 percent — were classified by the Internal Revenue Service as ‘nontaxable returns,’ meaning the people who filed them paid $0 or less in income taxes, according to data published by the Statistics of Income Division of the IRS. At the same time, 80 percent of all income taxes paid that year were paid by tax return filers who had adjusted gross incomes of $100,000 or more.” (CNS News)

A BLIND SQUIRREL FINDS A NUT: “Socialist Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced on Sunday that she is no longer using Facebook and is cutting back on all social media for health reasons associated with being too engaged with social media,” the The Daily Wire reveals. ‘I actually think that social media poses a public health risk to everybody,’ commie-Ocasio-Cortez said. ‘There are amplified impacts for young people, particularly children under the age of 3 with screen time. But I think it has a lot of effects on older people. I think it has effects on everybody. Increased isolation, depression, anxiety, addiction, escapism.’“ Ironically, firebrands like commie-AOC are an important component behind social media’s devolving into a toxic morass.

SWEET RECOMPENSE? "Philadelphia’s soda tax is barely two years old, but many local lawmakers are saying they’ve seen enough. … Maria Quiñones-Sánchez, a member of Philadelphia’s city council, introduced a bill last month that would phase out and potentially eliminate the soda tax. … Philadelphia’s soda tax, which imposed a 1.5-cent-per-ounce levy on sweetened drinks, raised $79 million in its first year. … While that $79 million sounds great, in fact, the tax lagged projections by about 17 percent. Apparently, pennywise consumers with the means to do so don’t mind shopping outside the city for soda (and when they do, they take other shopping business with them). This leaves the bulk of the tax to be paid by the city’s lower-income population.” (Foundation for Economic Education)

jpost.com } ~ Satellite images released by the Israeli intelligence firm ImageSat International (ISI) on Sunday showed the complete destruction of a possible Iranian surface-to-surface missile factory in Syria’s Masyaf District... allegedly struck by Israel on Saturday. “The main industrial structures were completely destroyed, including the main hangar and the adjacent three production hangers and buildings. The rest of the structures were affected and damaged by the blast,” ISI said, adding that they “assess that all the elements and/or equipment which were inside are completely destroyed as well.”  According to ISI, “if the bombed site was indeed a missile factory, it could allow for the production and assembly of different SSM surface-to-surface missile elements or for improving the accuracy of missiles.” The factory, ISI said, is located in the vicinity of other facilities likely linked to Iran’s SSM project in Syria, which have previously been struck in alleged Israeli strikes carried out over the past two years. The factory was built in the western compound of the base between 2014 and 2016, and was surrounded by a wall to separate it from the rest of the military base. The entrance to the factory passes through the base. “It is possible that the location of the factory inside what looks like a regular military base was chosen in order to camouflage its real purpose,” ISI said. While ISI wrote, “It is unclear which entity controls and owns the base” – the Syrian army, Iran or militias – if the factory allegedly attacked by Israel was “indeed controlled by Iran, it is probable that the eastern part of the base is controlled by them.”...

.gatestoneinstitute.org} ~  The European Union, in an unfathomable move, has been taking the side of the Iranian government, and turning its back on its old transatlantic partner, the United States... which recently announced plans to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO), reportedly to take effect this week. The Trump administration has taken a tougher stance towards Iran's dark and hegemonic ambitions. Meanwhile, despite Iran's destructive behavior, such as support for terror and militia groups across the region, the European Union has chosen to help the ruling mullahs of Iran, ostensibly to maintain the flimsy, illegal, never-signed, unratified "nuclear deal" -- but possibly even more as an embarrassingly transparent attempt, if the EU could be embarrassed, to navigate around US economic and political pressure and continue doing business with Iran's regime. This loyalty to a tyranny has taken place has despite terror and assassination  plots that Iran has brought to the EU since the establishment of the nuclear deal, such as several political assassination attempts committed in the EU by Iran's agents. One evening in November 2017, as Ahmad Mola Nissi returned to his home in The Hague, an assassin gunned him down at his front door. The 52-year-old Dutch citizen of Iranian origin had been a critic of the Iranian government and prominent figure in the Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahvaz. He had fought for the safety and liberation of others and was gunned down where he should have felt the safest. The Dutch authorities publicly announced for the first time that it had "strong indications" the Iranian government had commissioned the murder... Why is EU being so stupid.  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14027/eu-appeasing-iran

Last week, Trump threatened to bus border crossers and illegal aliens into sanctuary cities and states, like California and New York City, if the country’s asylum laws were not changed. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Sunday confirmed that the White House is considering the plan.“The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities,” Trump posted on Twitter over the weekend. “We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or it’s poor management & high taxes!” Sanctuary city mayors like Oakland, California, Mayor Libby Schaaf have responded to Trump’s threat by saying they plan to welcome any and all illegal aliens to their cities — even those cities that are struggling with rising homelessness. Currently, there are nearly 38,000 homeless American veterans across the country. “Oakland welcomes all, no matter where you came from or how you got here,” Schaaf wrote on Twitter...

dailysignal.com } ~ It’s nice to have more money in your pocket. And thanks to the 2017 tax cuts, the typical American is now paying less in taxes... But that’s not to say we’re not still sending a hefty sum of money to Washington. Tally up all the payroll and other taxes on earnings and income, and you’ll find that the average American household forks over more than $26,000 to the feds each year. Last year, Washington collected more than $3.3 trillion in taxes. So where exactly does all that money go? Some believe most of it goes to foreign aid and defense. Others think corporate subsidies dominate the budget. In reality, health entitlements—Medicare, Medicaid, scumbag/liar-nObamacare—and Social Security are the largest and fastest growing programs. Unless Congress fixes these four programs, they—and the ever-growing interest payments on the national debt—will consume every dollar of taxes paid by 2041. That leaves no money for anything else. Uncle Sam couldn’t spend a penny on defense, food assistance, highways, or education without driving the country further into debt. Right now, Medicare, Medicaid, and scumbag/liar-nObamacare subsidies account for more than a quarter (28.8%) of all federal spending. Ten years from now, they’re projected to gobble up more than a third of the budget. Meanwhile, Social Security, the single largest federal program, accounts for roughly a quarter of all federal spending all by itself. Its trust funds already pay out more than they take in, and its finances will only deteriorate faster as more and more boomers retire...   https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/04/14/in-1-chart-how-your-taxes-are-spent/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTkRFelpXWTNZVEV3TkRaaiIsInQiOiJnYzRXZzdcLzB0bEFRcTFXRUoyRHRYZGprWXNBYTRGVWkzOVB4OW5YcTA5aFRaVFZnXC8ybTNVWTZuXC8xQXQ2VnpSMGVxVks4MFpsXC90ckU5SUYySWJXTE5kaE1Ld0p5XC9JK2pEVXdFTDVJNnlvNVcwcTRNK21PQ3lXYlwvSzhtQkJ1OCJ9

The 'MAGA Bomber' Hoaxer — Guilty
rM0JUfzIw5t6In3bWGPF8xR3wmpAIQap3WtntewiUSOmJnnKK_w9KWAgiHDmHJhRj11BUI0WiQMIYmGaDjdmnH9rym5jSZ3iBDsJb_u6sMz6SxIsa1IR6oslSoQgADYanvPzlYf6e2zAbcdqbfXE_5PHjtVu1F5A9dHbsLs=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710xMark Alexander:  Six months ago (two weeks before the 2018 midterm) there was wall-to-wall headline saturation about the “MAGA Bomber.” But you may have missed the news about the perpetrator’s plea a few weeks ago, as it received little attention.

Last October, with all the Democrat Party and Leftmedia propagandist political guns firing relentless salvos against Donald Trump and his congressional Republicans, “bombs” started showing up in the mail of notable leftists and their media outlets.

At the time, I wrote that the devices appeared to be inert — fake bombs, a hoax. I noted, “If a bomb was designed for detonation upon opening, it would have a very different triggering mechanism — like those sent by leftist Theodore John Kaczynski, a.k.a. the ‘Unabomber,’ who actually killed people.”

I also wrote then, and want to emphasize now, “To be clear, whether or not these devices were intended to detonate or disrupt, this is, by definition, an act of terrorism.”

As it was quickly discovered, this hoax was perpetrated by a bankrupt, homeless sociopath with a long criminal history, who was living in a van plastered with pro-Trump and anti-Democrat stickers. He was arrested within days of the first devices being discovered, and at a press conference, FBI Director Chris Wray reported that the devices contained “energetic material that can become combustible when subjected to heat or friction” — actually, as we know now, scrapings from common fireworks sparklers. Wray declared these were not “not hoax devices.”

However, based on all the evidence I have seen (which is not all the evidence), and moreover the perspective of knowledgeable sources with whom I have spoken, these devices were obviously constructed by an amateur hoaxer. The perp did not intend for the devices to detonate. They were clearly not designed nor did they have the ability to detonate, and the only way they would have caught fire is if the recipient had put a match to the material — just as a match is used to light a sparkler.

A week after the Wray’s comments, I confirmed that, within 24 hours of the packages being received, federal investigators briefed key members of Congress and indicated the “bombs” were inert. But it was curious that those federal officials did not advise the public that the bombs were a hoax, though perhaps they did not want to say that in the event that there were real devices that had not yet been received.

Of course, this incident provided a pre-election opening for the leftist collective chorus to claim Trump was responsible for this hate crime, when in fact, it is Democrats whose entire rhetorical platform is based on fear, anger, and hate. Despite the perpetrator being labeled the “MAGA Bomber,” the irony is that it’s Democrats who are bombing efforts to make America great again!

Late last month, the hoax perp pled guilty to charges related to sending the packages by mail, telling the U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff, “I knew these actions were wrong. I’m extremely sorry.” Asked by the judge, “Did you intend they would explode?” the perp responded, “No, sir. … The devices would have never exploded or worked. The fireworks were sparkler type.”

According to Geoffrey Berman, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, “For five days in October 2018, Cesar Sayoc rained terror across the country, sending high-ranking officials and former elected leaders explosive packages through the mail.” Coincidentally, that is the same District that is still pursuing Trump, alleging campaign-finance violations — the Democrats’ last fodder for impeachment.

However, from all information I have been able to review, the packages contained hoax devices sent by a lunatic. Again, let me reiterate that sending these packages, regardless of the fact they were never designed, intended, or capable of detonation and harm still constitutes an act of terrorism. But the fact that the FBI never cleaned up Wray’s claims about these devices is, to say the least, unprofessional.

To put this into perspective, consider the case of the deranged commie-Bernie Sanders supporter, an scumbag/liar-nObama “99%"er from Illinois, who attempted the mass murder of congressional Republicans in June 2017. Had he used blanks, that hoax would have deserved universal condemnation and criminal charges, but within 24 hours, the story would have been out of the Demo-MSM headlines — because the perp was a leftist. However, he used live ammunition and intended to kill many Republicans that day — and would have succeeded if there had not been good guys with guns who stopped his assault.

Notably, that assailant almost killed then-House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA). Ironically, just prior to the bomb hoax incidents last October, Scalise issued a warning about uncivil rhetoric, saying, "In America, we win battles at the ballot box, not through mob rule or intimidation. While it’s clear many Democrats refuse to accept the election of President Trump, if they want change, they need to convince people with their ideas and actually win elections, rather than call for violent resistance, harassment, and mob rule.”  ~The Patriot Post

Will Trump’s “Tax Returns” Issue

thenewamerican.com } ~ Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin sees this is a blatant prevarication: “The implications of Neal’s demands are way beyond … a congressional oversight issue... The issue is that … the IRS does not become weaponized like it was under the Nixon administration.” Trump lawyer William Consovoy saw through Neal’s smokescreen as well. In writing to the General Counsel at the Treasury Department, Consovoy said: I write to explain why Chairman Neal cannot legally request – and the IRS cannot legally divulge – this information…. Chairman Neal’s request flouts … fundamental constitutional constraints. The Ways and Means Committee has no legitimate committee purpose for requesting the President’s tax returns or return information. While the committee has jurisdiction over taxes, it has no power to conduct its own examination of individual taxpayers’ [returns]….Even if Ways and Means had a legitimate committee purpose for requesting the President’s tax returns and return information, that purpose is not driving Chairman Neal’s request. His request is a transparent effort by one political party to harass an official from the other party because they dislike his politics and speech. Chairman Neal wants the President’s tax returns and return information because his party recently gained control of the House, the President 1s their political opponent, and they want to use the information to damage him politically. It is no secret that a vocal wing of the Chairman’s party has been clamoring for the President’s tax returns since before the 2016 election. And it is no coincidence that Chairman Neal made his request just days after prominent Democratic constituencies began publicly criticizing the House for its failure to go after the President…. If Chairman Neal genuinely wants to review how the IRS audits Presidents, why is he seeking tax returns and return information covering the four years before President Trump took office? Why is he not requesting information about the audits of previous Presidents. And if he’s so upset about the president claiming, “I would love to give them but I’m not going to do it while I’m under audit,” why doesn’t Neal himself reveal his own tax returns? Wrote Consovoy: “After all, nearly 90% of House Democrats requesting Trump’s personal and business tax returns have insisted on keeping their own tax returns private, including Speaker Pulosi, Senator scumbag-Schumer, Representative Nadler, Representative scumbag-Schiff, and Representative Neal himself.”...   https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/32012-will-trump-s-tax-returns-issue-turn-out-to-be-mueller-2-0?vsmaid=4230&vcid=3421

investigativeproject.org } ~ In Saturday's early hours, when the attention of most Israelis was focused on politics and elections-related matters, enormous blasts rocked a suspected Iranian surface-to-surface missile factory on the outskirts of the town of Masyaf in northwest Syria... Satellite imagery showed that an entire complex had been destroyed in the bombing. International media reports attributed the attack to the Israel Air Force, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking a day afterwards, stated that "We are continuing to operate on all fronts, including the northern one." He added, "We are not prepared to allow someone to entrench themselves in a way that endangers Israel." Netanyahu has pursued a policy of ordering preventative military action to stop Iran's military build-up in Syria. The incident is a reminder that Iran and its radical terrorist axis are continuing to try and build up their military-terrorist attack capabilities against Israel in Syria, just as they are in other areas. Assuming Israel was indeed behind the Masyaf attack, it likely responded to urgent intelligence of threatening activity at the site – possibly the conversion of rockets into precision ballistic missiles – a threat Israel has declared repeatedly that it would not tolerate. It is also possible that Iran's Islamic Republic Guards Corps (IRGC) tried to take advantage of the fact that Israel is in between governments, testing Jerusalem's ability to order decisive military preventative strikes during a sensitive political time in the country...

A church spokesman told French media that all of Notre Dame cathedral's frame is burning after the spire collapsed. Dramatic video showed black smoke billowing out from the top of the cathedral as firefighters furiously worked to contain the flames. The sight stopped pedestrians in their tracks along the Seine River, which passes under the cathedral. A woman who only identifies herself as "Sun" online tweeted a 15-second clip of the blaze, claiming she was around the scene when the fire first started.

Horrific Honor Killings in Phoenix

clarionproject.org } ~ A Muslim man in Arizona was arrested for four honor killings — his wife, two daughters and the man with whom he believed his wife was having an affair... According to Phoenix Police Sergeant Tommy Thompson, “Austin Smith said that the reason he shot these individuals is because in God’s eyes, it was all right for him to deal with someone in this manner who had been involved in adultery, extramarital affairs.” Smith also told police he killed his seven-year-old daughter because she was “weeping for the wicked.” According to court documents, he said spared his three-year old who was found hiding under a bed because she reminded him of himself. As in many cases of honor crimes, some will protest this was merely a case of domestic violence not withstanding the horrific nature of the crime. And in truth, what is the difference? Quite simply, even though we don’t know Smith’s psychological profile, we can surmise someone capable of killing his children in cold blood – not to mention his wife and her suspected lover – has to be deranged on a certain level. Yet, when we look at the underlying ideology that drove his behavior, we also have to conclude that believing that such actions are sanctioned by God is quite motivating. While Smith may be a convert to Islam, those steeped from birth in the honor culture indicative of many Muslim countries have taken in this ideology in a rational way – and when circumstances presented themselves, many have seen fit to act on it... Honor killing is not justifiable in the USA. He is not deranged and he knew what he was doing.   https://clarionproject.org/honor-killings-in-phoenix/?utm_source=Clarion+Project+Newsletter&utm_campaign=05432ab444-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_03_17_12_03_COPY_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_60abb35148-05432ab444-6442509&mc_cid=05432ab444&mc_eid=b83b13a9b5

Why Is It Called Easter?

{today.reframemedia.com} ~ Easter is the name of the most important Christian holiday, the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead after his crucifixion... The resurrection of Jesus resides at the very heart of the gospel: “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Cor. 15:3-4). But, why is this holiday called Easter? Where did the name Easter come from? Let’s shed some light on those questions.

Easter is an English word

The etymology of the English word Easter indicates that it descends from the Old German—likely from root words for dawn, east, and sunrise. English is a western Germanic language named for the Angles who, along with the Saxons (another Germanic tribe), settled Britain in the 5th century. In fact, the Old German for Easter was Oster (Ostern in the modern). English and German speakers have been using variations of the term Easter for over a millennium. However, most of the countries surrounding Britain and the German principalities of Europe have long used variants of the Latin Pascha (from the Greek for Passover, a transliteration of the Hebrew pesach) as the name of the celebration of Christ’s resurrection. Today, in many non-English speaking countries, Easter is still called by a name derived from the term Pashca. A number of other languages use a term that means Resurrection Feast or Great Day. Only English and German speaking countries use the terms Easter or Ostern.

Does the name Easter have pagan roots?

Does the name Easter really have pagan roots? That’s a common question. Modern etymologies do trace easter to the name of an Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn, called Eostre. An English monk known as Venerable Bede (d. 735 AD) recorded the name of this goddess in his book The Reckoning of Time. Bede described a relationship between the name Eostre and the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus, which provides the strongest evidence that the name Easter may have pagan roots:

“Eosturmanath [April] has a name which is now translated ‘Paschal month,’ and which was once called after a goddess of theirs named Eostre, in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month. Now they designate that Paschal season by her name, calling the joys of the new rite by the time-honoured name of the old observance.”

Historians consider Bede a reliable primary source in Anglo-Saxon history. However, Bede’s mention of Eostre is the single instance of that name in the entire written record. Some have wondered if Bede was mistaken about the goddess. German historian, Jacob Grimm, writing in 1835 about German mythology, seemed to confirm Eostre of the Anglo-Saxons by linking her to an even older Germanic goddess named Ostra—for whom there existed even less direct evidence than Eostre—whose mythology he was trying to linguistically reconstruct:

Ostarmânoth [April] is found as early as...[c. 800]. The great christian festival...bears in the oldest of [Old High German] remains [of] the name ôstarâ...This Ostrâ, like the [Anglo Saxon] Eâstre, must in the heathen religion have denoted a higher being, whose worship was so firmly rooted, that the christian teachers tolerated the name, and applied it to one of their own grandest anniversaries.”

In any case, if we assume Eostre and Ostra are the same mythological goddess, as Grimm suggested, she was ultimately named by a human. (Only the one, true God named himself; see Exodus 3:14.) So what came first, her name or the root words for her name? It is most likely that the root words for dawn, east, and sunrise existed before the name Eostre did, since it would be people, who possessed language, who would give the goddess a name and attribute to her the phenomena of the dawn and sunrise in the east. Interestingly, we mostly remember the name Eostre today primarily because of its apparent association with Easter. Yet, the name Easter has come to overwhelmingly signify the most important annual celebration of the Christian faith.

Perhaps there is a more elemental explanation for the English word, Easter. A scholar named Christian F. Cruse (1794-1865), best known for his translation of Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical History, which contains perhaps the earliest known reference to a Christian celebration of the resurrection, argued that Easter has etymological roots in the German word for resurrection. In a note concerning Easter, he wrote: “Our word Easter is of Saxon origin, and of precisely the same import with its German cognate Ostern. The latter is derived from the old Teutonic form of auferstehnAuferstehung, i. e. Resurrection.”

Easter in early German and English Bible translations

How did the early Church handle the word Easter? Scholar Roger Patterson notes how early Bible translators like Martin Luther and William Tyndale went about translating Pascha (passover) into German and English, using forms of oster and ester respectively, most likely because of a root meaning of resurrection, just as Cruse noted. In his New Testament, Tyndale translated Luke 2:41 ester for passover, “And his father and mother went to Hierusalem every yeare at the feeste of ester.” Luther did likewise when he translated Luke 2:41 into German; he used the word “Osterfest.” Similarly, Tyndale translated passover lamb in a portion of 1 Corinthians 5:7: “For Christ oure esterlambe is offered up for us.” Luther used “Osterlamm.” Patterson observes, “It would seem from the translations of Luther and Tyndale that by 1500, the word oster/ester simply referred to the time of the Passover feast...Even if the word had an origin in [the name Eostre], the usage had changed to such a degree that Luther was comfortable referring to Christ as the Osterlamm.” It’s interesting to note that the English ester by 1611 had gained an a: the King James used the word Easter in Acts 12:4 to describe Passover after the resurrection of Christ. What’s clear is that these usages of the word ester/oster/Easter perceived no connection to pagan worship.

Our English word Easter possibly descends from the name of a pagan goddess. It is also quite possible that Easter evolved from Germanic words meaning dawn, east, and sunrise: words that may have had their own roots in the Old German word for resurrection. Luther’s and Tyndale’s use of Easter reinforce a long established affiliation of the term, not with pagan practices, but with the resurrection of Jesus, as our Passover lamb. Some Christians today feel more comfortable giving the holiday a different name, such as Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday. They are completely free to do that, just as others are free to go on calling the day Easter. What truly matters is that on that most significant of days, we celebrate that Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!
