America desperately needs 
a confirmed defense secretary
by James Carafano, Roger Zakheim and 
Bradley Bowman

{thehill.com} ~ The United States confronts the most dangerous and dynamic array of threats that we have seen in our lifetimes, yet our armed forces lack a confirmed secretary of the Defense Department...
 The American people, including our men and women in uniform, deserve better. The coming months will bring a host of major national security events, including the management of nuclear treaty violations by Russia, the withdrawal of our troops from Syria, potential adjustments in Afghanistan, ongoing talks with North Korea over its nuclear program, the management of tensions in the South China Sea, a spate of meetings with our allies, the launch of a Space Force, and the modernization of the United States nuclear triad. Topping it off will be a highly consequential debate over defense spending that will determine whether the United States military receives sufficient resources to implement the national defense strategy, restore American military supremacy, and deter conflict with Russia and China. Both our allies and our adversaries will be straining to ascertain our commitment to various defense treaties as well as our willingness to challenge the ever aggressive expansionism of Russia and China. They will also look at our willingness to assist our neighbors in South America, should the turmoil in Venezuela start to wreak even greater regional havoc. They will of course pay special attention to our determination to invest appropriately in our armed forces still trying to recover from years of insufficient funding. A key signal to those watching our every move, and to our own public and those serving in the military, is clearly the selection of a permanent defense secretary. The selection of a defense secretary says a great deal about the agenda of the president and how he intends to implement it. The nomination also says a lot about how the president envisions the role of military affairs in foreign policy and how he intends to orchestrate the entire national security team to advance our United States interests...

Democrats Starting Realize 
The Dangers of Their Moonbat AOC

{theconservativetreehouse.com} ~ Democrat Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) is the representative from Long Island City where Amazon was going to put their headquarters... Along with many other Democrats Ms. Maloney is stunned at how the moonbat wing of the party has taken over. AOC and her followers think a ‘tax abatement’ is an actual bucket of pre-existing cash they can now spend to improve New York schools and infrastructure.  No, seriously, they actually believe this… It’s far beyond economic dissonance, it’s Moonbattery. 70% tax rates. Free college and medicare for everyone. Cars and airplanes made illegal. A ban on cows and meat. Social justice mobs who cheer destroying jobs… commie-Alexandria Occasional-Cortex and her millions of followers is the gift that keeps on giving.
Judge slaps gag order on Roger Stone,

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ A federal judge issued a gag order Friday in special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s case against longtime Trump associate Roger Stone... In a four-page order, U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson forbade attorneys for both irty cop-Mueller and Stone from “making statements to the media or in public settings that pose a substantial likelihood of material prejudice to this case.” She additionally wants "to maintain the dignity and seriousness of the courthouse and these proceedings." Berman also said Stone is not allowed to speak about the case in or around the courthouse. She has not imposed additional restrictions on Stone but left the option open in the future. Stone’s attorneys last week urged Berman not to impose a gag order, arguing he had a right to speak freely because he is a writer and commentator. Berman previously warned she would impose such an order after Stone attacked dirty cop-Mueller in the media after he was arrested last month at his Fort Lauderdale, Fla., home in a pre-dawn FBI raid. Stone has pleaded not guilty to lying to Congress, obstruction of an official proceeding, and witness tampering. The judge concluded her order with some advice for Stone: "Finally, while it is not up to the Court to advise the defendant as to whether a succession of public statements would be in his best interest at this time, it notes that one factor that will be considered in the evaluation of any future request for relief based on pretrial publicity will be the extent to which the publicity was engendered by the defendant himself." Fordham law professor Jed Shugerman wryly commented on the gag order on Twitter: "For Stone, this will be cruel and unusual punishment."   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/judge-slaps-gag-order-on-roger-stone-attorneys-in-mueller-case?utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_02/15/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News

Islamic Relief Strikes Back (But Misses)

{meforum.org} ~ Earlier this week, we broke the news that Islamist-linked congresswoman Ilhan Omar already in the news after publishing anti-Semitic tweets was due to speak at an event organized by Islamic Relief... an international aid charity accused of funding terror and extremism – alongside a senior Islamic Relief official who has published social media posts praising the killing of Jews. Our research was quickly picked up by a number of media outlets, including the Jerusalem Post, Washington Examiner, Daily Wire, JNS and others. The story went somewhat viral. Our blog post and the media articles covering our report were aggregately shared by over 70,000 people on Facebook, and another 40,000 on Twitter – reaching millions. No wonder, then, that Islamic Relief started to feel the pressure. After an initial silence, Islamic Relief decided to doctor its advertisements for the event by expunging all mentions that its leading anti-Jewish official would be speaking – even amending a glossy poster that it had previously published all over social media. Islamic Relief and one of Rep. Omar's staff then promptly set about claiming that the official was never in fact due to speak. Unfortunately for them, there were boundless copies and screenshots of the posters and event webpages available to expose this lie rather quickly...

The Islamic State of Iran at 40
by Clifford D. May, Michael Ledeen and 
Behnam Ben Taleblu

{fdd.org} ~ Four decades ago, Iran was convulsed by one of the great revolutions of the 20th century. The leader of that revolution: Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini... 
would take the title: “supreme leader.” He was to be regarded, literally, as God’s “representative on Earth.” A charismatic, fire-and-brimstone cleric, he preached jihad against America and the West. When he died in 1989, his disciple, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, became the new supreme leader. He has called the Islamic Revolution the “turning point in modern world history.” His regime now influences Iraq, has military forces propping up the Assad dictatorship in Syria—where more than half a million people have been killed and millions made homeless—controls Lebanon through Hezbollah, backs the Houthi rebels in Yemen, and penetrates Latin America. Supreme Leader Khamenei also has a nuclear weapons program—perhaps delayed but certainly not ended by the deal President scumbag/liar-nObama agreed to—as well as a program to develop missiles capable of delivering such weapons to targets anywhere in the world. To learn more about what lies ahead for the Islamic Republic, host Clifford D. May is joined by FDD Freedom Scholar Michael Ledeen—who has been studying the Islamic Republic since its inception —and FDD Research Fellow and Iran expert Behnam Ben Taleblu.

Are the Democrats Bent on Suicide?

by Pat Buchanan

{townhall.com} ~ After reading an especially radical platform agreed upon by the British Labor Party, one Tory wag described it as "the longest suicide note in history."

The phrase comes to mind on reading of the resolution calling for a Green New Deal, advanced by commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and endorsed by at least five of the major Democratic candidates for president.

The Green New Deal is designed to recall the halcyon days of the 1930s, when, so the story goes, FDR came to Washington to enact the historic reforms that rescued America from the Great Depression.

Only that story is more than a small myth.

The unemployment rate when FDR took the oath in 1933 was 25 percent. It never fell below 14 percent through the 1930s. In June 1938, despite huge Democratic majorities in Congress, FDR was presiding over a nation where unemployment was back up to 19 percent.

World War II and the conscription of 16 million young men gave us "full employment." And the war's end and demobilization saw the return of real prosperity in 1946, after FDR was dead.

Yet this Green New Deal is nothing if not ambitious.

To cope with climate change, the GND calls for a 10-year plan to meet "100 percent of the power demand of the United States through clean, renewable, and zero-emission energy sources."

This appears to require a phase-out by 2030 of all carbon-emitting power plants fueled by coal and oil and their replacement by power plants fueled by wind and solar.

Will natural gas be permitted? Will nuclear power? There are 60 commercially operating nuclear power plants with 98 nuclear reactors in 30 states. Will they be shut down? Will the Greens agree to dam up more U.S. rivers to produce renewable hydroelectric power?

Air travel consumes huge quantities of carbon-producing jet fuel. What will replace it? Perhaps progressive Democratic candidates will set an example by not flying, and then by voting to end production of private aircraft and to ground all corporate jets. Let the elites sail to Davos.

The GND calls for an overhaul of the "transportation systems in the United States to eliminate pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector ... through ... clean, affordable and accessible public transportation; and high-speed rail."

Gas-powered cars are out. How long will that train trip from DC to LA take? And if China continues its relentless rise in carbon emissions until 2030, as permitted by the Paris climate accord, while the U.S. spends itself into bankruptcy going green, where would that leave America and China at midcentury?

"By the end of the Green New Deal resolution and accompanying fact sheet I was laughing so hard I nearly cried," tweeted the Wall Street Journal's Kimberley Strassel: "If a bunch of GOPers plotted to forge a fake Democratic bill showing how bonkers the party is, they could not have done a better job. It is beautiful."

The Green New Deal, say its authors, has as a goal "stopping current, preventing future, and repairing historic oppression of indigenous peoples, communities of color, migrant communities, deindustrialized communities, depopulated rural communities, the poor, low-income workers, the elderly, the unhoused, peoples with disabilities, and youth."

Fifty years after the Great Society, apparently half the country consists of victims of oppression.

Who are their oppressors? Guess.

Among the endorsers of this Green New Deal is Sen. scumbag-Cory Booker, who compares the battle to stop climate change to fighting the Nazis in World War II. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, lowlife-Kamala Harris and Elizabeth dinky-Warren have all endorsed it. Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders, who calls climate change "an existential threat," was an original co-sponsor.

Nancy Pulosi has more sense. Interviewed last week, the speaker batted the Green New Deal aside: "It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive. The green dream, or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they're for it, right?"

With her own agenda and priorities, Pulosi does not want to be dragged into having to defend a document that reads like it was written by the college socialists club.

The question, though, is why Democrats, who, if nominated, are likely to face Donald Trump in 2020, are signing on to so radical a scheme.

In a presidential election, the "out" party candidate usually has an advantage. No record to defend. He or she can choose the terrain on which to attack the incumbent, who has a four-year record.

Rarely does an out party present a fixed and stationary target as exposed as this, as out-of the-mainstream as this, as vulnerable as this.

The only explanation for the endorsement of the Green New Deal by candidates with a prospect of winning the Democratic nomination is that they are so fearful of commie-Ocasio-Cortez and the left for whom she speaks that they must endorse her plan.

That British Tory got it right. This thing reads like a Democratic Party suicide pact.

Protecting Abortion Survivors

{dailysignal.com} ~ Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., praised Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., for green-lighting a Senate roll call vote on Feb. 25 for Sasse’s legislation protecting abortion survivors... “I want to thank the majority leader for scheduling this vote so that every American can know where their senator stands on the issue of infanticide,” Sasse said in a statement released Thursday.  “A lot of senators spend a lot of time telling people how they fight for the little guy. Well, here’s the chance for them to prove it.” Sasse tried Jan. 31 to hold a unanimous consent vote on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act in the Senate following New York legalizing abortion up to birth in January and the Virginia Legislature attempting to pass a similar bill. However, Sen. scumbag-Patty Murray, D-Wash., objected. “We’re going to have a vote on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act and everyone is going to have to put their name by their vote,” Sasse added...

{lifezette.com} ~ The United States “is at stake” because the Democrats “are bowing down at the altar of open borders” and refusing to grant President Donald Trump the border wall funding necessary to secure the nation... Fox News host Laura Ingraham said Thursday night on “The Ingraham Angle.” Trump plans to sign the congressional compromise budget bill that landed on his desk on Thursday in order to avoid a second government shutdown this year. The president is also expected to declare a national emergency on Friday in order to secure $8 billion in border wall funding to address the crisis. The bill Trump received includes only $1.375 billion in border barrier funding — not the $5.7 billion he said was necessary to secure the country. Many Republicans are also frustrated by the provisions hampering immigration enforcement measures. Democrats are planning to file legal challenges to Trump’s national emergency declaration once he makes it. The “only card” Trump has left to play is the national emergency declaration, Ingraham said, because the Democrats “pushed him into this situation.” Ultimately the Supreme Court would have to decide whether or not Trump exceeded his constitutional authority by declaring a national emergency and acting accordingly...  https://www.lifezette.com/2019/02/our-nation-is-at-stake-as-lying-democrats-bow-down-at-the-altar-of-open-borders/?utm_source=activeengage&utm_medium=email

{jpost.com} ~ When it comes to her political views, Caroline Glick has long been an open book. She’s written countless columns that run the gamut of political issues in Israel, focusing mostly on foreign relations and national security... And now, Glick wants to take those views from the page to the Knesset, in Education Minister Naftali Bennett and Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked’s New Right Party.  “The ideas I’ve been communicating for 16 years in The Jerusalem Post are the same ideas and convictions that will be informing everything I do in the Knesset, and will play a major role in determining policies in this party going forward,” she said. Speaking from her home in Efrat on Thursday, with her two dogs playing beside her and signs of her younger son’s birthday party from the day before still intact, Glick talked about why she’s decided to make this career change. “I asked myself every day, how do I bring what I have to bear as an individual in the most significant way for the country and the Jewish people?” she said. “A lawmaker can make a significant difference for the country and the Jews worldwide. That’s why I decided to take this step.” Glick hasn’t fallen into the trap of many rookie politicians who had previously found renown in other areas; she doesn’t expect to be a minister, and finds the fact that such an expectation is so common to be problematic...   https://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Political-Affairs-From-Column-One-to-the-Knesset-580716

South Carolina’s Anti-Sharia Bill — a Smart Step

{clarionproject.org} ~ South Carolina’s anti-sharia bill is a smart step in shielding American courts against foreign law. Senator Larry Grooms introduced the bill. While it doesn’t specifically name Islamic law, it would also apply to Islamic sharia law... For Senator Grooms, a shocking case in New Jersey that cited sharia law to rule against a sexually abused woman was sufficient cause for him to see that South Carolina is protected from competing jurisprudence rooted in foreign legal systems.  That case was later overturned on appeal. The step Senator Grooms is taking is a necessary preventative measure that helps ensure future debate and controversy over legal cases and competing values are kept at bay. South Carolina is making it clear that its courts will not entertain a foreign legal system. Case closed.  At present, it is vital that Americans are clear about our values and initiate calm, rational and definitive steps to ensure those values are protected. The longer we deter meaningful strides to protect American values, the more we are allowing a level of paranoia to brew. Sharia law has traditionally been a bogeyman among conservative audiences which usually use the term to refer to the brutal hudud punishments. As such, a significant degree of Muslim-hatred has seeped through in that dialogue.  Our conversation on sharia needs to have a deeper understanding of what sharia is exactly. During Islam’s early years, sharia was more akin to a current in an ocean and any number of currents or pathways could be taken to arrive at a decision. However, over the course of hundreds of years — as Muslims tried to build a framework for Islam — sharia become more rigid and structured. Still, sharia law differs from region to region. At the end of the day, sharia amounts to following the law of the land, which is why in the U.S., following ‘sharia’ means following American law... Sharia is not the law of USA.  https://clarionproject.org/south-carolina-anti-sharia-bill/

The border wars plot to destabilize 
and transform America
by Cliff Kincaid

{renewamerica.com} The Center for a Secure Free Society held a news conference the other day about the roles of Russia, China, Venezuela, and other countries in flooding the U.S. with illegal aliens... 
Mario Duarte, Secretary of Strategic Intelligence for the Republic of Guatemala, spoke at the event, calling the caravans and their impact on U.S. border security the "weaponization" of refugees. The term "weaponization" was also used by NATO's top commander in Europe, Philip Breedlove, to describe what the Russians and Syrians were doing in the Middle East with the Islamic refugees there. Germany's Angela Merkel has welcomed these refugees, destabilizing Europe. Here, President Trump campaigned for office on the basis of stopping the flow of this weaponized migration into the U.S. Objectively speaking, Merkel – and not Trump – has been serving Russian interests. The popular reality TV show "Border Wars," on the National Geographic Channel, captures the determined efforts of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, ICE, DEA, the U.S. Coast Guard, and local law enforcement to keep our nation safe. They fight terrorism and apprehend drug smugglers. They also intercept people entering the United States illegally. These illegal aliens have become a weapon of war, just like in the Middle East. A border wall would be another line of defense...

Getting Easier To Be 'Green'

by Cal Thomas

{townhall.com} ~ Kermit the Frog was wrong. It is now easy to be "green." The evidence is the "Green New Deal," which CNN describes as a "...10-year 'economic mobilization' that would phase out fossil fuel use and overhaul the nation's infrastructure while building whole new layers into the existing social safety net." The 14-page resolution was proposed by Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA).

Conservatives mock her for proposing, among other things, the complete transformation of every building in the U.S. and trains that would span the oceans as airplanes are phased out. commie-Ocasio-Cortez doesn't appear to know how any of this will be paid for, but when one is liberal it doesn't matter. It's the thought that counts, not the outcome.

It is helpful to remember how what once seemed extreme has now become accepted. Think of abortion, which most of the country opposed in the late 19th century. Now our elected officials advocate for it. New York Governor Andrew evil-Cuomo recently wrote a scathing op-ed in The New York Times supporting late-term abortions in his state.

Same-sex marriage, the outlawing of prayer and Bible reading in public schools and ending the Pledge of Allegiance in some schools was once thought extreme and fantastical.

Now we have the extreme Green New Deal, which even addresses flatulent cows and the methane they emit. CNBC reports the plan "aimed to have the U.S. creating 'net-zero' greenhouse gases in 10 years," lawmakers explaining: "We set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren't sure that we'll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast."

Question. Since there are more humans than cows, shouldn't the deal have included human flatulence, along with information on how they intend to control that?

commie-Ocasio-Cortez was quick to backtrack.

"At the time this story was published, writes CNBC, the FAQ page with the phrase 'farting cows' appeared to have been removed from commie-Ocasio-Cortez's website. Fox News' John Roberts reported that the language was tweaked to 'emissions from cows' in an update, which also appears to have been deleted."

In separate interviews, commie-Ocasio-Cortez first admitted her proposal would require "massive government intervention," but later reversed herself, claiming it is the right wing that is mischaracterizing her proposal about more government intrusion into our lives.

The left is completely transparent now. In the words of Barack scumbag/liar-nObama, they do plan to "fundamentally transform the United States of America." Millennials, especially, are fine with this because they have had such nonsense fed to them in public schools and by university professors. No evidence that contradicts their doctrines can persuade them. They accept what they have been told as a cult member accepts what its leader tells them.

Need proof? Read a report by the National Association of Scholars on the state of civics education in U.S. public schools. An analysis of the 525-page document on thefederalist.com found that even in places where civics education remains, it is being "transformed into a political machine to push left-wing causes, undermine American government and incite civil unrest. ... The "New Civics" uses attractive, bipartisan-sounding works like 'civics' and 'service learning' to trick Americans and their representatives into allowing progressive political machinery to hijack public funds and young minds." 

 The left used to mask their agenda for fear of backlash. Now they are open about their views. The response should go beyond ridicule. What we need is pushback that contains scientific, economic and political arguments and supplants feelings with facts.

Want more proof that failed liberal policies never produce a change of direction, but a doubling down on discredited ideas? A task force created by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel proposes giving some Chicago families $1,000 per month with no strings attached. The idea is to break the cycle of poverty, but that assumes recipients use taxpayer money wisely. I'm sure a guaranteed check for doing nothing will be all the incentive some need to liberate themselves from an addiction to government. It has worked so well at the federal level, hasn't it?

Several Democratic presidential candidates support the "Green New Deal, though it reeks of communism. After the ridicule, opponents had better find a way to communicate the truth, or we risk becoming another Venezuela.

{dailysignal.com} ~ Wow. $22 trillion. Let that huge number sink in. It’s the gross national debt reported Monday by the Treasury Department. The question is, now that we have crossed this inauspicious threshold, will Congress finally get serious about changing the nation’s budget course?... For years, the Congressional Budget Office has warned that America’s growing debt is unsustainable, and eventually the repercussions will affect all Americans. Unfortunately, most lawmakers haven’t been paying attention. Instead of implementing reforms to fix the debt problem, Congress largely has ignored it and gone out of its way to avoid making tough budget decisions. The impact of a breathtaking number like $22 trillion is hard to comprehend without context. At more than 107 percent of gross domestic product, as a share of the economy the gross national debt is higher than it has been since 1947. The debt has been higher only three times in U.S. history, all in the immediate aftermath of World War II...   https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/02/13/our-national-debt-just-hit-22-trillion-will-congress-finally-take-it-seriously/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWlRjeU5qZGhObVZqWmpOaSIsInQiOiJ3a3phOVhOa2RISzU0dHlKZmxwK0dLY1EweUZoQnVnMmYyWE1hMVdveVRUaExEVDJBbUdDUkowdkVHaDNtQjRNQlRcL1o5amhFNmQ5SCtoVzNPMFVSbVAya0pWXC9QaWIrMkkrdWtNczYzQkIwK2thOWlMM1VCZmtLaFROcFMzSFpvIn0%3D

Jewish Leaders Aren’t Buying 
Ilhan Omar’s Apologies

{conservativefreepress.com} ~ Not for the first time, Rep. Ilham Omar (D-MN) found herself accused of anti-Semitism this week when she insinuated that Republican politicians were being bought by Jewish lobbying groups so that they would continue to support Israel... The tweets that caused the controversy involved Omar telling journalist Glenn Greenwald that for the GOP,  “It’s all about the Benjamins baby.” When asked specifically who was paying the Republican Party to support Israel, she replied: “AIPAC!” This drew condemnation from across the political spectrum, and Omar – under pressure – released what the called an “unequivocal” apology. Even so, her apology demonstrated the very definition of equivocating. After saying she was sorry for offending Jews with her “THEY CONTROL THE WORLD WITH MONEY” conspiratorial tweets, she said, “At the same time, I reaffirm the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics, whether it be Aipac, the N.R.A. or the fossil fuel industry.” But not CAIR, we assume. In any event, President Trump was not impressed with Omar’s apology. Calling it “lame,” the president said Omar should consider stepping down. “Anti-Semitism has no place in the United States Congress,” Trump said Wednesday. “I think she should either resign from Congress or she should certainly resign from the foreign affairs committee.”...

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Speaking and writing about Islam today requires discretion, sensitivity, and a good grasp of facts. Doing this is harder in most European countries than it is in the United States, where the First Amendment insists on powerful free speech rights... The need for sensitivity stems from the almost universal condemnation of "Islamophobia", a mainly good-hearted response to democratic worries that innocent Muslims may be targeted with violence or hate speech, even as many but far from all seek to integrate themselves and their families into Western society. Raw Islamophobia, like raw prejudice by and against any group, is of course racist, unacceptable and most often expressed by hate groups on the far right of politics. At the same time, it is not surprising that many people will build their attitudes towards Muslims on a perception prompted by Islamist terror attacks, radical Muslim antagonism to Western societies, or uneasiness about Muslims who choose to dress in ways that do not conform to Western norms. The confusion caused also creates problems for many people who have reasonable concerns about Islam as a religion and a political ideology. The problem is that even fair-minded and non-racist authors, websites, members of the media and others end up being tarred with the same brush and condemned as malicious racists themselves. This creates a distorted perception of what has been termed "two Islamophobias," one hateful, the other respectable. The latter, of course, is not Islamophobia at all, any more than presenting a rational critique of any other religion, political thought, or ideology is racist, hate-driven or undemocratic. That confusion between a hate-driven view of Islam and a thoughtful, unbiased criticism of it has led to restrictions on what may and what may not be written or said about Islam or Muslims, while politicians of all varieties, church leaders, and human rights activists have adopted a style of virtue-signalling that tells the world to be silent and accepting, or else they will be called racists or Islamophobes... So what, as long as the facts are shown.  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/13539/religion-free-speech 

Worldwide Effort To Restrict Everyone’s 
Right To Travel Is Close To A Reality

{activistpost.com} ~ According to a recently published white paper there is a worldwide effort to restrict the right to travel of everyone. And you will not believe how the U.N. is involved... A recent  article at PapersPlease.org warns that the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) wants to check every airline passenger’s background and send airlines an “Authority to Carry” before a passenger is allowed to board a plane. An iAPI system allows for a two-way communication in near real-time. The airlines transmit the API message on a per-person basis to the requesting authorities at the time of check-in, while law enforcement agencies have the opportunity to decide whether a certain person is allowed or not to board a plane by issuing a board/no-board message. Think about what this means; the self-proclaimed “largest regional security organization in the world” the OSCE, wants to conduct background checks of every airline passenger in the world. The work of the OSCE spans the globe, encompassing three continents – North America, Europe and Asia – and more than a billion people. Giving a private organization the ability to control the right to travel of nearly 8 billion people is horrifying. The white paper warns that the OSCE and the International Air Transport Association are working together to track every airline passenger...
'The Road to Shariadom' in America
by Janet Levy

{americanthinker.com} ~ The Assembly of Muslim Jurists in America (AMJA) is part of an international network of Muslim scholars that preaches shariah rule as a government system, even issuing a fatwa delineating sharia's "superiority" over democracy... 
It is one of many Muslim organizations now dangerously and politically active in the United States. They include the 25-year-old Council of Islamic Relations, CAIR, self-described as a "Muslim civil rights organization" with an Islamic perspective on American public issues. More recent organizations – created in 2015 and similarly politically dedicated – include JETPAC, the Justice, Education and Technology Policy Advocacy Center, which encourages American Muslims to get involved in local politics, and MPower Change, committed to creating a political platform for Muslim issues and organizing around it. All these politically active Muslim-American groups, prominent Muslims and other Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated organizations within the U.S. publicly avow that they have no intention of implementing sharia in the U.S.  Yet, their stated political goals, public statements and recent reports, betray their true intentions: to grow in political strength sufficient to replace our democracy with their religious governance.  More than 100 top Muslim leaders belong to AMJA, which began in 2003. Imams at over 3,100 U.S. mosques look to AMJA for instructional guidance to lead their congregations. The group's name in Arabic, "The Group of Sharia Specialists in America," implies its purpose:  to impel Muslims to follow its comprehensive, sharia-compliant fatwas. Many of the group's leaders attended Egypt's Al-Azhar University, the world's highest academy of Islamic learning and interpreter of the definitive sharia text – The Reliance of the Traveller... What have you done America to let this happen.  https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/02/the_road_to_shariadom_in_america.html

Lesbian Ousted From LGBTQ Commission 
for Believing in Biology

by Culture Beat:  Julia Beck is a lesbian woman who was recently kicked off an LGBTQ commission for daring to acknowledge the reality of biology. In an article entitled “How I became the most hated lesbian in Baltimore,” Beck relays her brief experience on Baltimore’s LGBTQ Commission and how her refusal to use a female pronoun when addressing a “transwoman” — i.e., a man claiming to be a woman — got her thrown off.

In her article, Beck argued that treating and viewing “transgender women” as biological females was in fact dangerous to actual women. She writes, “I brought up Karen White, a convicted pedophile and rapist who was placed in a UK women’s prison, despite being legally male and undergoing no steps to socially or medically transition, where he then raped two inmates. White’s case illustrates how easy it is for men to manipulate the law, but Pipitone [a self-identified transwoman] smirked and claimed I was being performative. In delicate tones, he expressed concern with my leadership. He claimed Lesbianism and transgenderism are incongruent political forces (probably the only thing we agree on). Instead of enacting ‘lateral violence’ against transfolk by crashing ‘our parades,’ he argued that lesbians should assimilate with male lesbians to ‘punch up’ at an unnamed oppressor.”

In an interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox News, Beck explained her reasoning for refusing to adopt the transgender paradigm: “I believe in the truth.” That’s debatable given her own life choices, but it’s interesting nonetheless. She added, “When we get down to it, women and girls all share a biological reality. We are all female. But if any man, if any male person, can call himself a woman, or be legally identified as female, then predatory men will do so in order to gain access to women’s single-sex spaces, and it puts every woman and girl at risk.” Hmm… that sounds a lot like the argument we’ve been making since this whole “transgender” crusade reared its twisted head.

It will be interesting to see how many more folks within the Rainbow Mafia ranks start stepping out to call foul over the obviously incongruent ideologies currently being artificially forced together under one big tent.  ~The Patriot Post

The Most Dangerous and Treacherous Times in U.S. History! (Part 98)-Posted on Tea Party Command Center-By Jake Martinez-On February 7, 2019:

http://teapartyorg.ning.com/profiles/blogs/the-most-dangerous-and-treacherous-times-in-u-s-history-part-98

The following recent thought-provoking articles reveals that 'its time for the American people to declare our own national emergency and remove dangerous Democrats from power' because it is now abundantly clear that Democrats actively seek to 'destroy America.' They cannot be reasoned with or negotiated with, and they do not operate in good faith at any level, to include, but not limited to: 1) they follow no laws, abide by no rules and honor no morals or ethics; 2) they are lawless, destructive, treacherous enemies of America bent on the complete extermination of the USA as a sovereign nation; and 3) they allegedly wouldn’t mind mass murdering all Christians, Trump supporters and white people too, if they could get away with genocide.

It also revealed that the national emergency in America today is the fact that Democrats allegedly have any political power at all and yet they run the House of Representatives, along with controlling the fascism-inspired tech giants and the social media corporate monstrosities that now control nearly all online speech. They also dominate the corporate-run media while exploiting such dominance to knowingly push fake collusion hoaxes, hate crime hoaxes and utterly fabricated news that cites 'anonymous sources" pulled out of thin air.  If true, what’s wrong but not surprising about this picture?-You Decide:

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The White House plans to use $8 billion in previously-appropriated funding to build 234 more miles of barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border as part of the national emergency order President Trump issued Friday... according to senior administration officials. President Trump announced the plan Friday in the White House Rose Garden. Trump issued it alongside with signing a congressionally approved spending bill to keep open a slew of federal agencies, including $1.375 billion to go toward additional wall between the U.S. and Mexico. Trump's move faces near-certain legal action, including from immigrant groups and land conservation organizations. House Democrats say they'll try to block the move in Congress and will sue if that doesn't work. Trump's acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, told reporters Friday the executive branch is not touching Army Corps money for disaster relief projects in parts of the country that are still recovering from severe hurricanes and wildfires in 2017 and 2018. In addition to the money  Congress gave Trump through the spending measure, he is using $600 million from the Treasury Department's drug forfeiture fund; $2.5 billion from the Defense Department's drug interdiction program; and $3.5 billion from a military construction fund. Mulvaney blamed Congress for failing to give Trump the $5.7 billion he requested in December, but said Trump's emergency declaration is legal. Mulvaney added he does not think it will create a new precedent for future presidents to grab money by circumventing Congress...

{dailycaller.com} ~ The House passed the border security bill Thursday, with a majority of Democrats voting in favor of it and most Republicans voting against it... The bill will keep the government open until September, while providing President Donald Trump with $1.375 billion for the wall. The final vote was 300-128, with 213 Democrats voting in its favor and only 87 Republicans doing the same. Conversely, 19 Democrats voted against the bill, along with 109 Republicans. After passing both houses of Congress, the bill will next go to the president’s desk to be signed.“I’ve just had an opportunity to speak with President Trump and I would say to all my colleagues he’s prepared to sign the bill … he will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time,”  McConnell declared on the Senate floor earlier on Thursday...

{spectator.org} ~ I wrote here last week about the reaction to President Trump’s condemnation of socialism in his State of the Union. He said something indisputably factual and indubitably obvious to most Americans... “Here, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country. Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.” As I said, it was a revealing, signature moment for both President Trump and for the Democratic Party. I noted that, to their credit, Nancy Pulosi and Chuck scumbag-Schumer applauded, as did a decent number of Democrats in that chamber. That was in contrast to the Democratic Party’s two socialist stars, commie-Bernie Sanders and commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Poor commie-Sanders looked so agitated that he seemed ready to leap from his seat and denounce the president as an enemy of the Proletariat. commie-Ocasio-Cortez did a better job concealing her displeasure, as she sat stone-faced. But I’ve since learned something even more interesting among Democrat reactions. No less than Elizabeth dinky-Warren, about as left-wing as a Democrat senator can get, joined scumbag-Schumer and Pulosi in applauding Trump’s condemnation of socialism. Yes, Elizabeth dinky-Warren. Better, whereas Pulosi offered mild applause from a seated position, dinky-Warren stood and clapped emphatically, as a sea of silent white-wearing congresswomen sat behind her unmoved...

{thefederalist.com} ~ Since the latest government shutdown, Democrats have fed Americans many a line about border security. Their unified messaging started with the collective outcry that President Trump was throwing a temper tantrum, and that the border crisis did not exist, or is manufactured... Their claims were debunked with facts, and further destroyed when House Speaker Nancy Pulosi (D-CA), demanded the president re-open the government in order to “proceed with a much-needed discussion to protect the border.” Next, we heard the bit of messaging that stuck: that Trump did not care about the plight of government employees. For nearly three weeks, Democrats flooded the media with statements about the 800,000 federal employees without work, paychecks,   and heat during the shutdown. That funeral dirge changed to a victory crow the moment Trump re-opened the government for three weeks to pursue negotiations regarding border security. Senate Minority Leader Chuck scumbag-Schumer (D-NY) hoped that “Trump had learned his lesson.” Pulosi gloated that the president “‘underestimated’ the unity among Democrats.” The mainstream media, too, jumped aboard and sung along. According to a Sunday CNN headline, Trump “lost the shutdown and Pulosi won.” The article tallied polling data showing declining support for the president, closing on a Fox News poll that says voters find “Pulosi is better than Trump at ‘Washington gamesmanship.’” Democrats Were Using the American People...
Rouhani Remarks Point to Need for Improved Homeland Missile Defense
by Bradley Bowman and Behnam Ben Taleblu

{fdd.org} ~ In remarks this week celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said, “We have not asked and will not ask for permission to develop various types of missiles.” Rouhani’s remarks indicate Tehran may continue to develop...
 the technologies necessary to deploy an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of threatening the United States. Iran already possesses a formidable arsenal of short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles that enable Tehran to strike targets throughout the Middle East and in Eastern Europe. However, the development of an ICBM that could reach the United States would be especially concerning, since the U.S. intelligence community has warned that “Tehran would choose ballistic missiles as its preferred method of delivering nuclear weapons, if it builds them.” In his January 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment, Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats testified that “Iran’s work on a space launch vehicle (SLV)—including on its Simorgh—shortens the timeline to an ICBM because SLVs and ICBMs use similar technologies.” The 2019 Missile Defense Review included a similar warning. Echoing years of testimony from Department of Defense (DOD) experts, the Missile Defense Review also noted that building a new ground-based interceptor (GBI) site in the continental  United States“would add interceptor capability against the potential expansion of missile threats to the homeland, including a future Iranian ICBM capability.” GBIs are a principal element of the ground-based, mid-course defense system, which is designed to defend the United States from an ICBM attack by a rogue state...

by Arnold Ahlert:  “Being crazy isn’t enough.” —Dr. Seuss

According to the Rasmussen Reports daily tracking poll, President Donald Trump’s approval rating reached 52% this week. No doubt part of this high-water mark was engendered by his inspirational State of the Union Address. Yet just as likely, it’s because he represents a stark contrast to a Democrat Party engaged in an unprecedented race to the bottom of the socialist/Marxist barrel.

We begin with anti-Semitism. As far back as their 2012 national convention, Democrats heartily booed making Jerusalem the capital of Israel. Since then, their contemptible connections with rabid anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan remain ongoing, including the latest revelation that Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) wrote a column for the Final Call, an official publication of Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam. Tlaib’s colleague, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), was forced by party leaders to issue an apology for the age-old anti-Semitic smear about Jewish influence and money affecting foreign policy. And in a first for Democrats, both women are supporters of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

Congratulations!

Abortion on demand is another topic where Democrats have finally clarified their position — in contemptible terms. In New York, legislators cheered a bill that eliminated most restrictions on abortions after 24 weeks, allows midwives and nurse practitioners to perform the procedure, and ends criminal charges for harming children in the womb. “I am directing that New York’s landmarks be lit in pink to celebrate this achievement and shine a bright light forward for the rest of the nation to follow,” gushed Gov. Andrew evil-Cuomo.

evil-Cuomo’s “bright light” shone brighter in Virginia, where State Delegate Kathy Tran (D) testified in favor of her own legislation permitting abortions “through the third trimester,” which “goes up to 40 weeks,” she declared. Unbelievably, Democrat Gov. Ralph Northam upped the ante. “If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered,” he stated. “The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”

A discussion about post-birth abortion? In the real world, that’s called murder. Among Democrats? A “woman’s right to choose.”

Even some Democrats knew Northam went too far. Thus, with a lot of help from other party loyalists, more familiarly known as the mainstream media, Northam became the face — make that the blackface — of a coordinated campaign designed to change the conversation from infanticide to racism.

Unfortunately for Democrats, their entire identity-politics agenda became the center of attention. It turned out Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring admitted he also donned blackface at a party in 1980, despite issuing a statement calling for Northam to step down, while Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax was accused by two women of sexual assault and rape, respectively. Fairfax’s reaction to the assault allegation? “F—k that b—ch.”

These stalwarts are joined by Elizabeth dinky-Warren who, despite repeated denials that she used faux Native American bona fides to advance her career, wrote “American Indian” on her 1986 registration card for the Texas legal bar. Warren also implied there may be other equally “clarifying” documents in existence.

Racism? #MeToo demands to unquestionably believe the victim of sexual-assault allegations, irrespective of proof? Going as far back in the past as necessary to impugn someone’s reputation? Cultural appropriation? As of now, every one of these Democrats have made it clear they intend to reject their party’s “ethos of enlightenment” and persevere. The very same ethos their party and the media inflicted on Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

“Democrats need an identity-politics intervention,” the Wall Street Journal editorial board insists. “Having unleashed race, gender, sexual orientation and class as the defining issues of American politics, these furies are now consuming their authors. Where’s Barack scumbag/liar-nObama when Democrats need him?”

Barack scumbag/liar-nObama? The Cambridge police “acted stupidly” scumbag/liar-nObama? The “if I had a son he would look like Trayvon” scumbag/liar-nObama? The “slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ” scumbag/liar-nObama? The same scumbag/liar-nObama who attended Rev. Jeremiah “God damn America” Wright’s church for 20 years? How about the scumbag/liar-nObama who championed Harvard Law professor Derrick Bell, credited with pioneering “critical race theory,” which maintains America’s legal system is inherently biased against blacks and other minorities?

Barack scumbag/liar-nObama did as much as any president in the history of the nation to advance the odious idea that America is inherently flawed and requires “fundamental transformation.” And Democrats have not only embraced that agenda, they have doubled down on it.

And they’re still doing it. As part of the deal to avert a government shutdown, Democrats demanded and apparently received a total of 40,520 ICE detention beds, representing a 17% reduction from current levels, and far short of Trump’s request for 52,000. That ICE has released tens of thousands of convicted criminal aliens awaiting the outcome of their deportation proceedings — including murderers, those convicted of sexual and aggravated assault, kidnapping and drunk driving? According to former ICE Director Tom Homan, the agency is currently detaining 47,000 criminal aliens.

Are Americans ready for 6,480 more of them to hit the streets so Democrats and their spineless GOP collaborators can cut a deal to keep the government open? Will they tire of a Democrat Party that prioritizes the needs of illegal aliens over those of American citizens?

On Monday, 37-year-old Joseph Alcoff was bought to court to face charges that include aggravated assault and ethnic intimidation. He was allegedly part of an antifa mob that attacked two Hispanic Marines last November. He was also an organizer for Smash Racism DC, a group that took to heart the “push back” and “get up in the face” intimidation tactics  championed by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) and Sen. scumbag-Cory “Spartacus” Booker (D-NJ), respectively, when they massed outside Tucker Carlson’s home in an effort to intimidate the Fox News host.

Why bring up the trials and tribulations of an alleged thug? Because according to Fox News, Alcoff was “a well-connected, aspiring political player in Washington who may have even had a hand in key policy proposals” advanced by Democrats. All while he remained “an Antifa leader in Washington.”

Finally, we must address the terminally addled commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her Green New Deal. Aside from the economy-wrecking efforts and the jackboot level of government control it represents, two things stand out: Only a nation with a thoroughly compromised education system could produce legions of people ignorant enough to believe this could actually work; and nearly every Democrat 2020 presidential contender supports it — all its pernicious nonsense notwithstanding.

“Trump in 2020 might have controversially slurred his future Democratic rival as a socialist, radical late-term abortion advocate, open borders chauvinist, a Medicare destroyer who wished to make it free for everyone, or wacko environmentalist intent on banning gas and diesel engines,” writes Victor Davis Hanson. “Now he won’t have to smear anyone: the Democrats have largely done that to themselves.”

It couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch.  ~The Patriot Post

The War Between Iran and Israel Moves to Iraq

{freebeacon.com} ~ Israel's campaign of airstrikes against Iranian military targets in Syria has led Iran to move the bulk of its soldiers and bases away from the Israeli border, according to intelligence assessments by the Israeli military  released Wednesday... While some pro-Iranian forces remain in southern Syria on the border with Israel, Iran is redeploying most of its assets to eastern Syria and Iraq. Iran's actions should not be construed as Tehran giving up its efforts to entrench itself in Syria to open up another front to attack Israel. In fact, the intelligence assessments say that Iran appears to be adopting a more aggressive posture toward the Jewish state—last month, for example, Iranian forces launched a missile at the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights. Iran is simply changing its methods for achieving the same vision, the Israel Defense Forces believes. Iran now seeks to entrench itself in Iraq, setting up missile launchers there to threaten Israel. Reuters reported last year that Iran had also given ballistic missiles to Shi'ite proxies in Iraq and that it is developing the capacity to build more there with the ranges to threaten both Israel and Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, Iranian-backed militias are expected to base themselves in western Iraq, awaiting orders to cross the border into Syria to target the Jewish state. Parts of Iran's elite Quds Force also appear to be leaving Syria to enter Iraq. Given this shifting landscape, Israel may feel the need at some point to target Iranian and Iranian-linked forces in Iraq. Such action would be significant, as no strikes in Iraq have been attributed to Israel. Last year, however, Jerusalem carried out airstrikes close to the Syrian town of Abu Kamal, located near the Iraqi border, which killed members of a Shi'ite militia, according to press reports...  https://freebeacon.com/blog/war-between-iran-israel-moves-iraq/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=5c95d9971e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_02_14_10_47_COPY_156&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-5c95d9971e-45611665

What to Do About the Rebirth of Socialism

{freebeacon.com} ~ "The most important political event of the twentieth century," wrote Irving Kristol in 1976, "is not the crisis of capitalism but the death of socialism." Plenty of self-described Marxist and socialist regimes existed throughout the world, Kristol recognized... It was rather the ideas behind such regimes that had reached a moral and intellectual endpoint. Nor was this passing away entirely to be cheered. "For with the passing of the socialist ideal," Kristol went on, "there is removed from the political horizon the one alternative to capitalism that was rooted in the Judeo-Christian tradition and in the Western civilization which emerged from that tradition." The inheritors of the socialist ideal were totalitarian states on one hand and stagnant social democracies on the other. By the end of the twentieth century, these too had passed. China and later Vietnam decided that to get rich is glorious, the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact states collapsed into squabbling nationalities and kleptocracies, the socialist autocracies that had depended on Moscow for support receded into irrelevance. What Kristol called "a dwindling band of socialist fideists" remained behind, the last remnant of a dwindling faith. "People who persist in calling themselves socialist, while decrying the three quarters of the world that has proclaimed itself socialist, and who can find a socialist country nowhere but in their imaginings—such people are anachronisms." Not any more. If the death of the socialist idea was the most important political event of the last century, then the rebirth of this ideal must rank high in significance in the current one. Just as nationalism has reasserted itself on the political right, socialism has grown in force on the left. In the twenty-first century the two ideologies are estranged and antagonistic twins, paired in Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party, Jeremy Corbyn and Brexit, commie-Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. The Democratic victory in 2018 has elevated socialism to a height it has not reached in the United States in more than a century. Only in recent weeks, however, have defenders of democratic capitalism become aware of how great the socialist challenge really is. Only now are we beginning to formulate a response...

{breitbart.com} ~ Legal immigrant Agnes Gibboney asked where was the protection for her son killed by an illegal alien as she stood in House Speaker Nancy Pulosi’s office Wednesday. Gibboney was one of many angel families turned away at Speaker Nancy Pulosi’s office Wednesday... despite their requests for meetings that were made ahead of their visit to her office. “My parents legally immigrated here,” said angel mom Agnes Gibboney. “My parents wanted a good, safe place for my family and look and the safe place my only son, my first born was murdered.” “Where is the protection?…Where is the sanctuary for my son?” Gibboney asked. “Who is to say that after this guy gets out next year, he’s not going to come after me or after any of my family? Or kill somebody else’s child?” “I wouldn’t want to see that. I wouldn’t want his own family go through the hell I’ve been living with for almost 17 years,” she went on. “This is not fair.” “This country, I took an oath when I became a citizen. Nancy Pulosi took an oath when she took office. She’s breaking her oath. She oughta be arrested,” said Gibboney. Capitol Hill Police showed up with a commanding presence while angel families were gathered in Pulosi’s office. Two of the officers entered the front office at one point, while several others stood at the ready outside the office where more angel families and supporters stood. Officers remained until angel families eventually departed the office...

{freebeacon.com} ~ Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders (I. Vt.) pledged on several phone calls to stand by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) as she navigates the anti-Semitism quandary she's created, according to reports Thursday... 
Jewish Insider reported Thursday morning that commie-Sanders, who is Jewish, shared his support with participants of on an off-the-record conference call. "I talked to Ilhan last night to give her my personal support," commie-Sanders reportedly said. "We will stand by our Muslim brothers and sisters." Jim Zogby, the host of the call, declined to provide any other details. Zogby is co-chair of the DNC’s Ethnic Council and founder of the Arab American Institute. Omar has been under scrutiny this week after she wrote a series of ill-advised tweets concerning Jewish Americans, Israel, and the United States government. Omar peddled in anti-Semitic stereotypes, mischaracterized a pro-Israel lobbying group, and garnered praise from the former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. In a tweet Sunday afternoon, Omar shared a tweet from far-left journalist Glenn Greenwald. Greenwald claimed McCarthy was "defending a foreign nation' and "attacking free speech rights of Americans."... Look at what you did Minn and Vt.

McCabe admits his treason!
by Sher Zieve

{renewamerica.com} ~ In a move that veritably boggles the mind, fired FBI'er Andrew McCabe has admitted his role in the – mercifully – ineffective coup against President Trump and his administration...aka government...
 In an interview scheduled to air on next Sunday's "60 Minutes," McCabe detailed his and his FBI co-conspirators parts in the planned, plotted and implemented attempted coup against legally-elected President Trump – using a fake Russian dossier. dirty cop-Mueller's and Rosenstein's parts in the scheme were for Rosenstein to appoint former FBI Director dirty cop-Mueller to the position of Special Counsel to investigate Trump. This position requires  that a crime be listed before the investigation may go forth. There was never – and still isn't – any crime listed. As I've written in several columns, this investigation was illegal from its inception.Still...no one in the government has made any attempt to stop it! That, coupled with the fact that the now-infamous "dossier" against Trump was made up out of whole cloth and that Russian Agents were hired by the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign to write it should – at the very least – cause the arrests of the perpetrators via US Marshall's office. Another portion from the to-be-aired Sunday interview, McCabe admitted that he and the FBI "get Trump out" FBI/DOJ cabal also planned and conspired to use the 25th Amendment "incompetency of the POTUS" to remove him from office. McCabe said at 2 meetings, Rosenstein agreed to war a wire, with the purpose of entrapping President Trump. Rosenstein has said that he was just "kidding around." McCabe said that they were all "dead serious" and that Rosenstein had agreed at both of the 2 planning meetings. 18 U.S. Code § 2385.

Tariff Deadline Looms Over U.S.-China Negotiations
FH0YVzinFQhLG2X2i_TcFw88Q7sEdFgkBQDqZP-RGcu4_aK43Hd9qZ2eZkZqADsixzMLeh8KMM0cT_VNkHJplNWsqq3Nwte74LHrV-JpdSUYBQsxJecVw68YZBa5jreTuY8SXmQrI5NsgimF2aV3Z0N1ZBnKDb1hDfZCFfc=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
by Thomas Gallatin:  Another round of trade talks between the U.S. and China kicked off on Thursday in Beijing as the two countries seek to negotiate an end to the escalating trade war. March 2 is the deadline for President Donald Trump’s $200 billion increase in tariffs against Chinese goods to be initiated. However, Trump indicated that he’s willing to delay the deadline a further 60 days should the negotiations yield positive results.

Trump’s tariffs get all the attention, but the issue at the heart of the trade war is China’s long record of abusive trade practices, particularly related to the theft of foreign-based companies’ technology. As the Associated Press reports, “Trump raised tariffs in July over complaints Beijing steals or pressures companies to hand over technology. The dispute includes cyber-spying traced to China, the country’s multibillion-dollar trade surplus with the United States and support for state industry.”

Clearly, Trump’s trade war with China is aimed at leveling the playing field and ending unfair trade practices, and insomuch as it delivers on that, it’s a good thing. That said, a fair market free of tariffs should be the ultimate goal, which will produce the most benefit to Americans and foreign nations alike. In the meantime, the tariffs are a somewhat painful but necessary “medicine.” What needs to be guarded against is the propensity for crony capitalism, as businesses that benefit from these tariffs may lobby to permanently establish them. Other companies are, of course, paying through the nose, and those costs are passed along to the consumer.

The president seems to be calculating that America can better absorb the economic impact of tariffs than China can. Indeed, with Chinese economic growth slowing to a three-decade low, and the U.S. economy jumping into high gear, Beijing may finally be willing to agree to real changes. That remains to be seen, but it appears that Trump is optimistic, as are a majority of American businesses.  ~The Patriot Post

{patriotnewsalerts.com} ~ When Democrats regained control of the House — and all of its committees — after the 2018 midterms, it was feared that many of the investigations into alleged wrongdoings by scumbag/liar-nObama administration officials in the lead-up to the 2016 election would be lost forever...  However, the ranking Republican member and former chair of the House Intelligence Committee, California Rep. Devin Nunes, just assured Fox News host Sean Hannity that his work would continue even while in the minority. Nunes said he and his colleagues will soon be sending criminal referrals to the Justice Department for “many people” who have lied to Congress or federal authorities — perhaps including Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller. Speaking to Hannity on Tuesday night, Nunes offered up reassurance that he is continuing to look into wrongdoings such as abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court — even though the Democrats in charge are unlikely to be cooperative. “Look, we need the new attorney general to get in there and then we will be making criminal referrals on many people who lied to Congress and did other bad things,” Nunes said... https://www.patriotnewsalerts.com/nunes-referrals-lied-congress/

Smart Move – Andrew McCabe Launches

{theconservativetreehouse.com} ~ Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe launches a pre-planned proactive media blitz timed to coincide with DOJ receiving a new Attorney General... Say what you will about the duplicitous, lying, corrupt and conniving weasels – but they know how to seamlessly execute cunning self-preservation political objectives. The strategy is as transparent as it is Machiavellian. Andrew McCabe, scumbag-James Baker and the Lawfare group Benjamin Wittes, Michael Bromwich et al had a planned defensive front waiting to roll out; today they pulled the trigger: Team McCabe always knew the biggest legal threat to their corrupt position would be if they lost control of the mechanisms within the DOJ and FBI. The launch of a media blitz, surrounding a book and constructed defense narrative, positions them to claim that any legal action against them now comes from a retaliatory Trump administration and DOJ institution Barr carrying out the objectives of the President. The best way to position themselves legally was/is to go on the attack and then use their attack as a shield from any accountability. This is what we are seeing today...

{lifezette.com} ~ It’s official: Amazon officials are pulling the plug on their planned second headquarters in New York City after facing intense opposition from local officials and Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). “After much thought and deliberation, we’ve decided not to move forward with our plans... to build a headquarters for Amazon in Long Island City, Queens,” the company said in a statement on Thursday. “For Amazon, the commitment to build a new headquarters requires positive, collaborative relationships with state and local elected officials who will be supportive over the long-term.” Polls showed 70 percent of New Yorkers supported Amazon’s investment in the state. But “a number of state and local politicians have made it clear that they oppose our presence and will not work with us to build the type of relationships that are required to go forward with the project we and many others envisioned in Long Island City,” the company noted. Amazon is “disappointed to have reached this conclusion,” the company said. Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) tweeted that the news on Thursday was “absolutely disgraceful” and a “terrible loss of jobs for New York workers.”...

Congressional Border Wall Deal

{dailycaller.com/} ~ Immigration hawks are flagging major concerns about the border deal reached by Congress to avoid a second partial government shutdown, multiple experts and former immigration enforcement officials tell The Daily Caller... The concerns center on broader protections for illegal immigrants within the U.S. and the expansion of the Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program. “More kids will be smuggled, more kids will be molested, more kids will die” as a result of the expanded protections for illegal immigrants, former Acting ICE Director Thomas Homan told The Daily Caller. The nearly 1,200-page bill was released Wednesday in the midnight hours and will be voted on Thursday by the House of Representatives. The bill is the result of a conference committee chaired by Democrats and Republicans with a mandate to deliver funding for President Donald Trump’s proposed wall along the U.S. southern border and avoid another partial government shutdown...
Senate passes spending and border security bill

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The Senate on Thursday passed a broad spending and border security bill that will end a funding stalemate that has dragged on for nearly two months and caused the longest government shutdown in history. In an 83-16 vote... the Senate approved legislation that will fund dozens of departments and agencies for the rest of the fiscal year and let the Trump administration spend $1.375 billion for fencing at the southern border. The fight over border barriers is what led to the 35-day shutdown, but the inclusion of new money for fencing wasn't enough to satisfy President Trump. The White House made clear just before the Senate vote that Trump would sign the bill, but also declare a national emergency in order to get access to more money. That move is likely to lead to legal challenges from Trump's opponents, but in the meantime, the funding legislation is expected to be passed by the House and then signed by Trump. Speaker Nancy Pulosi, D-Calif., said the House will clear the spending bill later today but said Trump risked setting a precedent by acting unilaterally to build border wall because any president might use it for initiatives the GOP opposes. “Republicans should have some dismay about the door that they are opening.” Pulosi said...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress/senate-passes-spending-and-border-security-bill?utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_02/14/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News

Covington Boys Cleared, but MAGA Hats 
Still Trigger

by Nate Jackson:  We’d file this one under “Better Late Than Never,” although a lot of damage was done before the record was corrected. Private investigators have concluded, after 240 man hours of interviews with 43 students, 13 chaperones, and several eyewitnesses, as well as scouring YouTube and news articles, that the MAGA-hat-wearing Covington Catholic boys did nothing wrong while at the March for Life in January. Greater Cincinnati Investigation, Inc. was hired by the Diocese of Covington and Covington Catholic High School to get to the bottom of the story once and for all.

In late January, the Leftmedia pounced on the boys for alleged racist taunting and bullying of a Native American on the National Mall. But the resulting hate-narrative lynch mob had the facts all wrong. Not only were the boys not the aggressors, they were the recipients of racial epithets from the Black Hebrew Israelites, a group of racist haters advocating black supremacy. Then Nathan Phillips, a well-documented liar and fraud, showed up to beat his Native American drum in the face of the most famous of the boys, Nick Sandmann. The video evidence is clear, and investigators concluded that the statements they received “are remarkably consistent” with each other and “with the videos we reviewed.”

Investigators could not reach Phillips, however, even when they parked outside his home for a day. It’s no surprise that he doesn’t want to talk to them. He’s much more comfortable spouting lies on CNN.

Nevertheless, the reason that even a few conservative outlets initially dumped on the Catholic students was that their own diocese was so quick to throw them under the bus. Within hours of the initial reports, Covington Catholic High School and its Kentucky diocese shamefully issued a joint apology to Phillips, noting, “This behavior is opposed to the Church’s teachings on the dignity and respect of the human person.”

That apology was taken down from the web, and Bishop Roger Foys of Covington soon issued an apology to the students. In fact, he now says “I commend them” for what “one might even say [was] laudatory” behavior. That’s as it should be, but, again, a lot of damage had been done already.

Unfortunately, there will also be those who are so deeply insulted at the mere sight of a MAGA hat that the truth is irrelevant. Guy Jones, a Hunkpapa Lakota and member of the Greater Cincinnati Native American Coalition, complained after the report, “The fact that you have these students wearing these MAGA hats and they were doing the tomahawk chop — that was a statement.” Dina Gilio-Whitaker, a member of Colville Confederated Tribes in California and professor of American Indian studies at California State University at San Marcos, likewise grumbled, “They were all wearing MAGA gear, which is, unfortunately, a visual cue.”

Sandmann’s attorney, Lin Wood, was having none of that nonsense. “The MAGA cap that Nick was wearing provides no legal excuse or justification for the politically motivated accusers, rather it only confirms their bias and malice. Anyone who falsely attacked, disparaged, or threatened a minor because of the cap he was wearing should hang his or her head in shame and be held fully accountable in a court of law.” Well said.

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said he ordered an obstruction of justice investigation into President Trump after he fired FBI Director scumbag-James Comey in the spring of 2017. "I was very concerned that I was able to put the Russia case on absolutely solid ground... in an indelible fashion," McCabe said in his first TV interview since getting fired from the bureau last year. "That were I removed quickly, or reassigned or fired, that the case could not be closed or vanish in the night without a trace." "I wanted to make sure that our case was on solid ground and if somebody came in behind me and closed it and tried to walk away from it, they would not be able to do that without creating a record of why they made that decision," McCabe told CBS News' "60 Minutes."Up until now it has only been reported that an obstruction of justice probe was opened as part of the Russia investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. The Washington Post first reported in June 2017 that special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller had begun looking into it and CNN later reported McCabe had initiated it and that it also included a look at Trump's conversation with scumbag-Comey, described in memos he wrote, in which the president asked his then-FBI director to drop an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn...

{wnd.com} ~ Talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh is now urging President Trump to order the U.S. Justice Department to probe “the real criminal activity” and “actual felonies” committed by scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee and members of the scumbag/liar-nObama Justice Department... in connection with efforts to change the outcome of the 2016 race for president. “Something needs to happen to these people. They cannot be allowed to get away with this,” Limbaugh said on his national broadcast Wednesday. “There ought to be an order … Trump should do it. He should order the DOJ to investigate all of these scumbag/liar-nObama people, from Bruce Ohr to scumbag/-James Comey to Rod Rosenstein. All of them need to be investigated, all of them need to be charged, all of them need to have exposed the lengths they went to to undermine a presidential election.” Limbaugh said the whole purpose of the investigation by Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller has been to cover up the “real” scandal, “which is the collusion between the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign and the scumbag/liar-nObama Department of Justice and intelligence community people who were running a silent coup based on literally made-up evidence, made-up facts, made-up charges – fake news, if you will – to try to get rid of Donald Trump, to run him off out of office.”...

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ There are new revelations about what took place in Washington during the extraordinary period from May 9, 2017, when President Trump fired FBI Director scumbag-James Comey, to May 17, 2017 when Trump-Russia special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller was appointed... The short version is: The reports were true. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein really did discuss wearing a wire to secretly record the president. Rosenstein and others did discuss invoking the 25th Amendment to remove the president from office. And the FBI did adopt an aggressive new investigation strategy, targeting the president himself, almost instantly after the scumbag- Comey firing. It's all true, that is, if revelations in an upcoming book by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe are accurate. The bottom line on that is that, at least from what we know now, McCabe's story seems consistent with information congressional investigators have been able to glean elsewhere."It's just like we thought all along," said one House Republican upon hearing the news. "If McCabe's account is true, it confirms what we thought, that Rod Rosenstein was serious when he talked about wearing a wire and invoking the 25th Amendment. Rosenstein should be under oath answering our questions. We need to know who was in the room and what was said." Whether that happens, in the House at least, is up to the new Democratic majority. But Rosenstein has so far declined to answer congressional questions on the wearing-a-wire and 25th Amendment matters...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/byron-york-eight-days-in-may-new-revelations-about-intrigue-to-remove-president-trump?utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_02/14/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News

‘Beyond disgraceful’: Ilhan Omar brazenly

{bizpacreview.com} ~ Judging by her latest outrageous behavior, when not already busy spewing antisemitic tropes, Muslim congresswoman Ilhan Omar apparently enjoys grilling and defaming Jewish-American heroes... The defamation occurred during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing Tuesday regarding the Trump administration’s response to the crisis in Venezuela, where veritable dictator President Nicolás Maduro is clinging to power despite the nation’s legislature naming someone else as president. But instead of questioning the administration’s Special Envoy for Venezuela, Elliott Abrams, about the crisis in Venezuela, Omar contemptuously disrespected him and attacked his credibility. She incorrectly referred to him as “Mr. Adams” versus Mr. Abrams. Then she spent a couple minutes relitigating his past “crimes,” both of which he was later pardoned for. Watch the stunning encounter below, and note the disturbing smirk on Omar’s face...

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ To attend a meeting of the Danish Free Debate Society several years ago in Copenhagen, my name had to be submitted to the police in advance. A motley crew of academics, journalists, activists, and ordinary folks, the society meets regularly... and informally to discuss books and political controversies. The gathering that cold December evening took place in a cozy walk-up apartment, where the subjects of conversation were a recently published tome on the history of free speech in Denmark and a biography of a wartime collaborationist politician. Over mulled wine and snacks, about 15 guests took part in a series of spirited debates that lasted into the wee hours. These are not particularly inflammatory topics. And normally, meetings of the society do not take place under the watchful eye of the Danish security services. But in attendance that night was Lars Vilks, a Swedish cartoonist who, in 2007, published three drawings of a dog with the face of the Prophet Muhammad. Vilks started to receive death threats and has lived under total police protection ever since. The last time Vilks had been in Copenhagen, for a 2015 event entitled “Art, blasphemy and the freedom of expression,” a Muslim terrorist shot up the venue, killing a 35-year-old film director and wounding three police officers. The following day, the perpetrator tried to enter a Copenhagen synagogue. Before being shot dead by police, he killed a Jewish security guard posted outside. Vilks isn’t the only man I know who labors under such burdens. On that same visit to Copenhagen, I had drinks with Flemming Rose, the newspaper editor who published the infamous Muhammad cartoons in 2005. Nearly 15 years after a group of opportunistic imams orchestrated a global campaign of intimidation and mayhem in response to a few pictures, Rose still requires protection by the Danish police, a number of whose officers were inconspicuously positioned around the cafe where we met...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/the-self-muzzling-of-the-free-world?utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_02/13/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief

The Republican Pouncing Problem

by Ben Shapiro

In the past few weeks, prominent Democrats have endorsed infanticide; admitted to dressing in blackface; called for an end to fossil fuels, airplanes and farting cows; and trafficked in open anti-Semitism. None of this is a serious problem for many in the media. For members of the media, the real story is that Republicans keep pouncing.

Two weeks ago, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam stated in an interview that he favors legislation that would allow a woman to abort a baby at the point of dilation and then added that in certain cases in which a baby would be born alive, the baby would be kept “comfortable” while parents and doctors decide what to do with it. This seems rather radical. Here was the Washington Post’s take, as said in a headline: “Republicans seize on liberal positions to paint Democrats as radical.” The positions, you see, are ackshually mainstream. It’s just that Republicans seized on them and painted them as radical.

Last week, Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., released a Green New Deal backgrounder and FAQ on her website — and her staff sent the six-page document to a variety of media outlets. The document happens to be fully insane. It calls for America to be carbon emissions-free within 10 years without use of nuclear power. It suggests that every building in the country be either replaced or retrofitted. It calls for universal health care, free college education, replacement of airplanes with high-speed trains, replacement of “every combustion-engine vehicle,” government-provided jobs, abolition of “farting cows” and, best of all, total “economic security” for anyone “unwilling to work.” The proposal is so farcical that even Democrats ran from it screaming. AOC took down it down from her website and then deployed campaign aides to state that the document was “accidentally” released as an “early draft.” Unsurprisingly, no revised draft has been posted.

Here is The New York Times’ headline: “commie-Ocasio-Cortez Team Flubs a Green New Deal Summary, and Republicans Pounce.”

This week, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., engaged in open anti-Semitism, suggesting that American support for Israel is “all about the Benjamins” and then doubling down on that comment by blaming the American Israel Public Affairs Committee for America’s pro-Zionist attitude. This follows years of overtly anti-Semitic content from Omar, as well as from Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., who suggested back in January that Americans who like Israel suffer from dual loyalty and “forgot which country they represent.”

Politico tweeted: “The Republican Party has a new trio of Democratic villains: Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.”

Now, pouncing is never a story. Ever. It is a simple fact of politics that when people screw up, their political opponents react with alacrity. Highlighting that response rather than the underlying screw-up is the equivalent of a headline that reads “Sun Rises in Morning.” Yet that’s what the media do … whenever Democrats screw up. Republican gaffes are a story in and of themselves. Democratic gaffes aren’t a story; Republican nastiness is.

All of which demonstrates that a huge swath of the media is inseparable from the Democratic Party. If your first response to Democratic nut-jobbery is to get defensive about Republican blowback, you’re no longer a journalist. You’re merely a hack. You are, as President Trump would put it, “fake news” — an activist masquerading as a journalist.

I suppose this means I’m pouncing on the media, though.

US Company That Smuggled Weapons Into Venezuela Linked to CIA “Black Site” Renditions

{activistpost.com} ~ The parallels between aspects of the Contra scandal and the current situation in Venezuela are striking, particularly given the recent “outrage” voiced by mainstream media and prominent U.S. politicians over Maduro’s refusal to allow U.S. “humanitarian aid” into the country... Two executives at the company that chartered the U.S. plane that was caught smuggling weapons into Venezuela last week have been tied to an air cargo company that aided the CIA in the rendition of alleged terrorists to “black site” centers for interrogation. The troubling revelation comes as Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has rejected a U.S. “humanitarian aid” convoy over concerns that it could contain weapons meant to arm the country’s U.S.-backed opposition. Last Tuesday, Venezuelan authorities announced that 19 rifles, 118 ammo magazines, 90 radios and six iPhones had been smuggled into the country via a U.S. plane that had originated in Miami. The authorities blamed the United States government for the illicit cargo, accusing it of seeking to arm U.S.-funded opposition groups in the country in order to topple the current Maduro-led government. A subsequent investigation into the plane responsible for the weapons caché conducted by McClatchyDC received very little media attention despite the fact that it uncovered information clearly showing that the plane responsible for the shipment had been making an unusually high number of trips to Venezuela and neighboring Colombia over the past few weeks...

Speaking at the Warsaw conference on the Middle East Thursday, Pence said that "sadly... some of our leading European partners have not been nearly as cooperative. In fact, they have led the effort to create mechanisms to break up our sanctions." He decried the "effort to break American sanctions against Iran's murderous revolutionary regime". "It is an ill-advised step that will only strengthen Iran, weaken the EU and create still more distance between Europe and the United States. Pence strongly criticized the Iranian leadership for its threats and human rights abuses. "The authoritarian regime in Tehran represses the freedom of speech and assembly, persecutes religious minorities, brutalizes women, executes gay people, and openly advocates the destruction of the State of Israel." "Beyond its hateful rhetoric, the Iranian regime openly advocates another Holocaust and seeks the means to achieve it," he said...  http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/259062

{thefederalist.com} ~ In episode 171 of “Seinfeld,” George Costanza makes up a story about having a house in the Hamptons in order to avoid attending an event with his dead fiancée’s parents, the Rosses... He soon learns they know of his deception but the Rosses nevertheless accept an invitation to the fictitious house. George picks them up and begins driving towards a house that doesn’t exist. Both the Rosses and George maintain the pretense until George drives to the end of island past the last house in the Hamptons. George silently pleads for the Rosses to put an end to the charade. The lie’s momentum took on a life of its own as the players all continued acting their parts long after the truth was known. The episode comes to mind as the media has started backing away from the Russia collusion hoax. Like Costanza, many of the media perpetrators seem to know a reckoning is coming. Politico warned Trump haters, “Prepare for disappointment.” Other examples of expectation managing can be found, such as  hereherehere, and here. diirty cop-Mueller’s longtime top deputy at the FBI recently warned, “A public narrative has built an expectation that the special counsel will explain his conclusions, but I think that expectation may be seriously misplaced. ”Most recently, the Senate Judiciary Committee announced that after almost two years of investigation, it has uncovered no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Attorneys assigned to the dirty cop-Mueller team have quietly begun to slip away before the outcome of the investigation is made public herehere, and here. This is unsurprising. The Russia hoax is crumbling and people can’t run away fast enough. We’ve seen signs from the very beginning that many of the people who promoted the Trump-Russia collusion smear have always known it was a hoax. These signs have been in plain sight. Here is an incomplete list...

DOJ Considered Recruiting Mike Pence 
to Remove Trump from Office

{thepoliticalinsider.com} ~ Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe just dropped a bombshell revelation in his new book: the DOJ talked about recruiting Mike Pence to remove Trump from the presidency... The Department of Justice reportedly held meetings discussing the possibility of having Mike Pence replace Trump as the president, justifying the de facto coup by invoking the 25th Amendment. The discussions reportedly occurred following scumbag-James Comey’s unceremonious ousting as director of the FBI. Rod Rosenstein, the current Deputy Attorney General, was a part of these discussions. It was reported last year that Rosenstein actually suggested removing Trump via the 25th Amemdment, comments he later described as not serious. It appears they may have been more serious than he let on. All of this is going to be revealed in a new book by Andrew McCabe. More was revealed during a CBS report...

by americanlibertyreport.com:  The Democratic Party would like to rewrite history and make everyday Americans believe that the GOP was the party of slavery, Jim Crow Laws, and the founders of the KKK. But the fact of the matter remains that the DNC was birthed in racism and has never shed that ideology... The recent wave of racist statements, wearing of blackface, KKK photos, and anti-Semitic remarks by Democrats currently holding public office are fueling racism in the United States today. Perhaps the most high-profile incident is the racist quagmire among the top political leadership in Virginia. Democrat Gov. Ralph Northam infuriated pro-life citizens by pushing legislation that would legalize abortion up until the moment of birth, and perhaps afterward. The public outrage prompted one resident to blow the whistle on his secretive racist inklings. Gov. Northam posed in a racially charged costume during his college days, making a mockery of the African-Americans in his state. Initially, he confessed but recanted after discovering his identity was either hidden by the makeup or the KKK hood in the image. With people unsure which he was, Gov. Northam tried to escape blame. But the whistleblower came forward, and the now-disgraced Northam fessed up under duress. His apologies ring hollow given the circumstances...

Trump Tax Returns: Dems Ready for Ultimate
Fishing Expedition

by Byron York

Yes, Democrats want to start a new investigation into already-under-investigation Trump-Russia allegations. And yes, they want to investigate Trump associates like Michael Cohen, Roger Stone and others. But by far the biggest thing Democrats want, now that they have the majority in the House, is to get their hands on the president’s tax returns.

House Democrats want to use a 1924 law that allows any one of three entities — the House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance Committee or the Joint Committee on Taxation — to demand that the Treasury Department turn over the returns of any individual. The law has almost never been used. For the first 50 years of its existence, no one tried to get a president’s returns — although the law played a role in the fight over Richard Nixon’s finances — and in the years since Gerald Ford took office, presidents have voluntarily made their returns public. Until Donald Trump.

So now, Democrats propose that the entity they fully control — the Ways and Means Committee — force Treasury, parent agency of the Internal Revenue Service, to turn over the president’s returns. What do they hope to find? What is remarkable is that even the most aggressive Democrats don’t seem to have a clear idea what they will find in the returns. They’re just sure there must be something bad in there.

The former prosecutor Andrew McCarthy has written of Trump-Russia special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller that “dirty cop-Mueller does not have a crime he is investigating. He is investigating in hopes of finding a crime.” That is what Democrats are planning with the president’s tax returns.

“President Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns makes it clear he has something to hide,” said Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin, who is a sponsor of the Presidential Tax Transparency Act, which would require presidents and presidential candidates to release their returns.

Of course, Democrats do have some broad ideas about what might be in the returns.

“We want to see if the president of the United States has a conflict of interest that he brought with him or that he created since he got here,” Rep. Bill Pascrell, a member of Ways and Means, said recently. “The only way to do that is to get his tax returns.”

Others think — no surprise — that there’s a Russia connection. Rep. Jackie Speier, a member of the Intelligence Committee, said it is important “for the American people to know to what extent Russia was engaged with then-entrepreneur Donald Trump. … Was there money laundering going on? … That’s why having his tax returns becomes so important.”

Other Democrats want the tax returns to see if Trump might have violated the “emoluments clause” of the Constitution. Still others want to see if Trump got a special break in the tax cut law he signed.

Democratic Rep. scumbag/mad-Maxine Waters, chair of the Financial Services Committee, was the most blunt. “We’re gonna get your tax returns,” scumbag/mad-Waters said recently, addressing Trump. “We’re gonna find out where your money has come from, the way that you have cheated the IRS.”

The tax returns — many House Democrats believe — will be a Rosetta Stone to Trump corruption.

There’s no doubt the law gives Ways and Means Chairman Rep. Richard Neal the power to demand the returns. That doesn’t mean Neal would get them right away; the Trump administration would surely raise legal objections that could tie the issue up in court. Perhaps for that reason, Neal has been a voice of caution in the push to see the returns.

There are others, too. Democratic Rep. Ron Kind, also a Ways and Means member, recently remarked that Mueller and his prosecutors have surely seen the returns, and therefore it would be best for the House to proceed carefully. But that is precisely what worries some Democrats. What if dirty cop-Mueller investigates and does not accuse Trump of any wrongdoing based on the tax returns?

Just in case, Democrats propose to perform an “MRI” on Trump’s finances, based in large part on the tax returns.

“Our priority is to make sure the president of the United States is working in the national interest, that he is not motivated by some pecuniary interest or fear of compromise or actual compromise,” Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. scumbag-Adam Schiff said recently. “What we’re interested in is: Does the president have business dealings with Russia such that it compromises the United States?”

For the Democrats to start the “MRI,” the first step has to be securing the president’s returns.

Trump broke a 40-year tradition by not releasing his tax returns during the campaign or since. Now, there are bills in both the House and Senate that would require presidents, and party nominees for the presidency, to release their returns. But they’re not law yet, and might never be.

Whatever happens, there will likely be serious consequences if the Ways and Means Committee chooses to force the release of the president’s returns. For one, it will set a precedent for the House majority, in this case the Democrats, to go after the tax returns of individuals. It is not hard to imagine that coming around to bite Democrats in the future.

Nevertheless, that is what Democrats appear to want. At a recent Ways and Means hearing into the issue of acquiring individual returns, Rep. John Lewis summed up the situation, and in the process said perhaps more than he intended: “This is not the end,” Lewis said. “This is just the beginning.”  ~The Patriot Post

by Media Editors:  The omnibus spending deal received President Donald Trump’s signature this morning. The president simultaneously declared a national emergency, which will be the foundation for seeking another $8 billion in border-barrier funding. There is no question that this battle will soon move to the courts.

William Barr is officially the new attorney general following a 54-45 vote in the Senate on Thursday. “Barr now will head the Justice Department during a pivotal time, overseeing special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference of the 2016 presidential election,” ABC News  reports. “The Senate vote fell roughly along party lines, with a majority of Democrats opposing his confirmation.”

Think Democrats are for “the little guy”? Think again. “Amid all the hoopla about Democrats wanting to raise taxes on the rich, they are quietly working on a bill that would increase taxes on every working family in America,” reports Investor’s Business Daily. “Why? To fund expanded benefits for baby boomers hitting retirement. The Social Security 2100 Act would hike the combined payroll taxes paid by workers and their employers from 12.4% today to 14.8% by 2043. The bill would also apply the payroll tax on incomes over $400,000. According to the Social Security Administration, in the first 12 years alone, this would amount to a $1.5 trillion tax hike.”

From The Hill: “U.S. retail sales in December suffered their worst decline in nine years, according to Commerce Department data released Thursday, a potential red flag for economic growth.” It’s a dark cloud in an overall strong economy.

“In Rhode Island, legislators are considering a bill to put their state on par with New York by repealing nearly all existing protections for unborn life,” report the editors of National Review. “It is part of a national campaign by Democrats to use deceptive marketing to enshrine a regime of elective abortion through all nine months of pregnancy.”

Actor Jussie Smollet allegedly staged an anti-gay hate-crime attack against himself and lied to police, who say it’s “unconfirmed” and “inaccurate,” reports Reason. But hey — he’s homosexual and has to be believed. Smollett even complained: “It feels like if I had said it was a Muslim, or a Mexican, or someone black, I feel like the doubters would have supported me much more.” Or maybe if he had told the truth…

More Facebook facepalm: “Facebook maintains a list of individuals that its security guards must ‘be on lookout’ for that is comprised of users who’ve made threatening statements against the company on its social network as well as numerous former employees,” CNBC reports. Meanwhile, The Washington Post says, “The Federal Trade Commission and Facebook are negotiating over a multibillion-dollar fine that would settle the agency’s investigation into the social media giant’s privacy practices.”

How the Trump Administration 
can Improve Health Care Coverage
9YlFt7LxlsSefK_st05kghLfkvReS6b5RrcKnKKkcFXp-TKeRzkIBixtfmene8Mn0p_s5BtGSZbLlY16zr1Mdey7QsYzdLYjik_gqRR00367VIcD8jM=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=by Michael McGrady and Dr. Michael Koriwchak
{americanthinker.com} ~ In October 2018, the Trump administration issued a proposed rule that would greatly expand the use of Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs). HRAs are account-based group plans that employers can utilize to provide pretax health care funds to their employees... Employees with HRAs can use these accounts, which are funded exclusively by employers, to pay for qualifying health expenses, such as out-of-pocket costs for a medical procedure. Unused funds roll over to the following year. In the executive order that spurred the proposed rule change, President Donald Trump directed the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and the Treasury to “increase the usability of HRAs, to expand employers’ ability to offer HRAs to their employees, and to allow HRAs to be used in conjunction with nongroup coverage.” The proposed rule would increase access to HRAs and allow employees more ways to use them, reversing the approach of the previous administration. HRA funds could be utilized to cover premiums for individual health insurance coverage, and a new “excepted benefit HRA” would permit employees to use HRAs to pay for short-term, limited-duration health insurance plans, according to an October report by Health Affairs. Short-term, limited-duration plans are much more affordable than the plans now offered in scumbag/liar-nObamacare exchanges. The Treasury Department estimates 800,000 employers and 10 million employees would take advantage of HRAs once the new rules are fully implemented. Although the proposed HRA rule is a major step forward, there is still room for improvement. In particular, the rule should be expanded so that employees can use HRA funds to pay for direct primary care (DPC) agreements...
Palestinians: "Journalism" Hamas Style

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Hamas, as part of its crackdown on freedom of the media, has imposed yet another restriction on the work of journalists in the Gaza Strip... The Hamas measure has left many Palestinian journalists worried about their ability to report on what is happening in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. Foreign journalists, for their part, have yet to respond to the latest assault on public freedoms. What exactly did Hamas do to anger the Palestinian journalists? Earlier this week, the Hamas-controlled Government Press Office issued a directive in which it said that, as of April 1, journalists will not be permitted to conduct interviews or enter government institutions in the Gaza Strip unless they have obtained a "press card" issued by the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Information. This new directive means that any journalist who does not receive a "press card" from Hamas will not be able to operate freely and independently in the Gaza Strip. Needless to say, Hamas is not about to give credentials to any journalist who is not affiliated with the Islamist movement and its ideology. Also, Hamas is not going to give its "press cards" to any journalist who dares to criticize its rule over the Gaza Strip or express a different opinion. Worse, by granting itself the right to issue "press cards," Hamas can now decide who is a journalist and who is not. Basically, Hamas's message to journalists is, "If you're not with us, go find yourself another job."...

{dailycaller.com} ~ President Donald Trump demanded that California pay back the federal government for its abandoned high-speed rail project, in a tweet Wednesday evening... “California has been forced to cancel the massive bullet train project after having spent and wasted many billions of dollars,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “They owe the Federal Government three and a half billion dollars. We want that money back now. Whole project is a ‘green’ disaster!”  Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom responded to Trump’s tweet Wednesday evening. “Fake news,” Newsom  wrote on Twitter. “We’re building high-speed rail, connecting the Central Valley and beyond. This is California’s money, allocated by Congress for this project. We’re not giving it back. The train is leaving the station — better get on board! Also, desperately searching for some wall $$??” Newsom announced Tuesday he was abandoning the high-speed rail project that sought to connect Los Angeles to San Francisco...

The Green New Deal

{americanthinker.com} ~ Apparently, the inmates have taken over the asylum, led by the former barmaid commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, now a member of Congress. The Green New Deal is a bizarre plan to create a cultural revolution in the United States... The role of Mao’s little red book is replaced by the musings of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). After the green revolution, happiness will reign throughout the land. Ms. commie-Ocasio can’t even make a credible threat to our economic well-being. According to the Green New Deal, if we don’t prevent global warming, we will lose $500 billion of annual economic output by 2100. The current GDP of the U.S. is $20 trillion. Assuming modest real growth of one percent per year, GDP will be $44 trillion in current dollars by 2100. Losing $500 billion or 1.1 percent of 2100 economic output is clearly minor and would be made up by 2101. The Green New Deal advocates instantly destroy their own argument with their own numbers. We are told that the United States must adopt a leading role in reducing CO2 emissions because we are responsible for 20% of cumulative emissions. Referring to cumulative rather than current emissions is sleight of hand. The U.S. is responsible for about 14% of CO2 emissions and these have been declining due to increased use of carbon-light natural gas. The rest of the world is responsible for 86% of the emissions and the rest of the world is not adopting a Green New Deal. The words “China” or “Asia” don’t appear in the text of the Green New Deal. If we are to be serious about reducing CO2 emissions, isn’t it necessary to discuss the source of the vast majority of those emissions? The reports of the IPCC and of the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) are political documents masquerading as scientific studies. These organizations produce fantasy reports that illustrate the computer rule of garbage in, garbage out. The organizations have been discredited by dozens of books, and many reports from disaffected scientists. But the political utility of the doomsday predictions is so great that the political left proclaims that the doomsday predictions are "settled science." Marx and Engels called their evil theories scientific socialism in order to borrow the prestige of science. If you need evidence that the IPCC is a fraud, you only have to know that it received the Nobel Peace Prize. The Peace Prize promotes leftist ideology by borrowing the scientific prestige associated with the separate Nobel prizes given for science. The Peace Prize has often been given to frauds and fashionable tricksters...  https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/02/the_green_new_deal.html

Innovative Treatments May Require Equally Innovative Health Care Payment Models  
by VERONIQUE DE RUGY

{spectator.org} ~ What Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare-for-all,” former President scumbag/liar-nObama’s Affordable Care Act and former House Speaker Paul Ryan’s Medicare “premium support” model all have in common is an overemphasis on health insurance coverage...
 who needs it, who is eligible for it, at what level and who should pay for it private sector vs. state governments vs. federal government. Yet insurance coverage and health care are two different things. A focus on the first one has resulted in an endless debate over which third party pays for people’s health care bills. Whether your preference is the government or private insurers, both end up creating massive distortions and moral hazards, which then results in higher costs and poorer-quality health care. My colleague Dr. Robert Graboyes encourages us to instead think about how to produce better health not health insurance — not even health care for more people at a lower cost, year after year. This requires allowing and fostering the kind of revolutionary innovation in the health care industry that we’ve seen in other fields, like information technology. It requires allowing consumers to choose treatments, even high-risk ones. But it also requires innovation in the provision and payment of health care. For instance, advancements in gene therapy and personalized treatments could one day offer a cure for cancer or disorders currently considered incurable, sometimes with only a single injection. In 2017, the Food and Drug Administration approved its first gene therapy treatment, Kymriah, for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The FDA expects 10 to 20 cell and gene therapy approvals annually by 2025...  https://spectator.org/innovative-treatments-may-require-equally-innovative-health-care-payment-models/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=f895e60899-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_02_14_04_54&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-f895e60899-104608113

How Trump Can Get the Rest of His Wall Money —
Without a Shutdown or Emergency

by Marc A. Thiessen

It’s official. We just had the longest government shutdown in history over nothing. Democrats have agreed to fund $1.375 billion for 55 miles of physical barrier along the border, which is only a little more than what Trump would have gotten under a continuing resolution that funded the government at current levels — and far less than the $5.7 billion Trump demanded to build 230 miles of barriers that experts and the Department of Homeland Security said they need to secure the border.

But Trump can still get the rest of the money — without a government shutdown or declaring a national emergency.

Shutting down the government again isn’t an option. Democrats are not afraid of another shutdown. They know if Trump rejects this deal and closes the government, he would get the blame, and in a few weeks’ time we would end right up back where we are now — with a bad deal. They have zero incentive to give him more money for a border wall.

Declaring a national emergency would also be a mistake. Trump could face a rebellion within his own party, and rightly so. An emergency declaration is intended for actual emergencies — such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks or Hurricane Katrina. If Trump declares an emergency to circumvent Congress and build his wall, then a left-wing president could use that precedent one day to declare climate change a national emergency and implement the Green New Deal. Besides, the courts would likely enjoin his emergency declaration, tying up wall money for months if not years.

To win, Trump needs to shift the debate to a place where he has real leverage: using the threat of a sequester, rather than a shutdown, to force the Democrats to give him his border barrier. In 10 months’ time, if Congress fails to act, then an automatic sequester will kick in that would reduce federal spending in 2020 to levels that Congress and President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama set in the Budget Control Act of 2011. Congress agreed to lift those spending caps for two years in 2018, increasing both defense and nondefense discretionary spending above sequester levels by $165 billion and $131 billion, respectively. But that deal runs out at the end of the year. If Congress does not lift the caps by December, then automatic $55 billion across-the-board cuts to domestic discretionary spending will take place, while defense spending will be cut by $71 billion.

That looming deadline gives Trump leverage he needs to get his wall. Democrats may not fear another shutdown, but will they really sacrifice $55 billion for domestic priorities next year just to deny Trump a measly $5.7 billion for a physical border barrier? Unlikely. If anything, Democrats want to use their new House majority to demand significant increases to domestic spending. Denying Trump his wall in December would lead to severe cuts. And Democrats would hardly have grounds on which to complain, since Trump would simply be following the terms of a budget deal that a Democratic-controlled Senate passed and scumbag/liar-nObama signed into law.

Of course, the defense cuts were intended as a deterrent to conservatives, who know they would be potentially disastrous for U.S. national security. But Trump may not care. He wants his wall and may be willing to swallow temporary defense cuts to inflict sufficient pain on the Democrats to get it.

Trump can’t win a shutdown fight today. But he can win a sequester fight at the end of the year. He should take the deal on the table today, resist the temptation to invoke a national emergency and then get the rest of his wall money in December when he finally has the upper hand.

Devil in Details – Democrats Insert Language Allowing States and Municipalities

{theconservativetreehouse.com} ~ The language of the bipartisan border security funding legislation is still being written. Unfortunately, reports indicate Democrat language will be inserted into the DHS funding bill that will allow... any town, city, municipality, mayor, city manager or local council within any border state to veto the construction of any structural border security wall or fence. This definitely sounds like an approach the Lawfare group would be assisting with.  Despite overwhelming support from the majority of Americans, the DC Uniparty seems to consistently find a way to usurp national sovereignty. Very frustrating.

1,159-page bipartisan border compromise

by foxnews.com:   Congressional bargainers late Wednesday completed a 1,159-page border security compromise that gives President Trump less than a quarter of the $5.7 billion he wanted to build a wall with Mexico... Democrats say they are confident about having the votes to pass the bill -- but not everyone is at ease. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said there is still "worry" that Trump could try to blow up the deal at the last minute because "we have seen that before." With Trump's halfhearted signature widely expected but hardly guaranteed, congressional leaders planned votes Thursday on the sweeping package. Summaries of the legislation say that besides nearly $1.4 billion to build new barriers, there's over $1 billion for other border security programs. That includes money for inspection equipment for border ports of entry. There is more than $400 million in humanitarian aid for detained migrants plus funds to buy aircraft and to hire 600 more customs officers and additional immigration judges. Congressional negotiators announced Monday that they'd reached "an agreement in principle" on border security funding that includes more than $1.3 billion for physical barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border. The White House initially requested $5.7 billion for the border wall...  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/1159-page-bipartisan-border-compromise-completed-trump-unclear-on-support

{thewashingtonstandard.com} ~ I can certainly appreciate that Americans are angry that their money was spent on this political fiasco, but good luck in getting that money unless you’re going to push for impeaching Democrats that were behind pushing the witch hunt. .. Still, in less than 48 hours, nearly 100,000 people have signed a White House petition demanding the Democratic National Committee pay the $25 million it cost for criminal dirty cop-Robert Mueller to conduct a more than two-year investigation into Russian collusion that was premised on a phony, bought-and-paid-for scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton dossier. North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows tweeted, “With the report of scumbag-Adam Schiff meeting with Fusion GPS’s Glenn Simpson last summer, we now have more evidence of   scumbag-Schiff directly contacting people trying to interfere in our election than we ever did on candidate Trump.  Double standard. The collusion investigation is a sham.” Of course, it was a sham, but at any time, President Trump could have shut it down, but he didn’t and I get it that it was political in nature, both the investigation and the failure to shut it down. Still, this petition calls for “all money used to investigate, charge, and imprison scumbag/liar-Clinton and all of her co-conspirators should be paid by the Democratic National Convention.”...

{independentsentinel.com} ~ New York Governor Andrew evil-Cuomo requested a meeting with President Trump over tax reform that he claims is hurting his state’s revenue. He went whining about New Yorkers leaving for Florida where taxes are cheaper... evil-Cuomo could, of course, lower taxes and stop giving free everything to foreigners in the country illegally. His meeting turned into a lecture on fracking and late-term abortion, and he came back empty-handed. The leftist Democrat went to discuss a $10,000 cap on the on federal deduction for state and local taxes (SALT). evil-Cuomo is citing the provision for a drop in over $2 billion in tax revenue. THE PRESIDENT TELLS HIM TO LOWER TAXES, FRACK AND STOP KILLING BABIES “I told the president myself today: SALT repeal is hurting us. And if you hurt New York, you’re harming the economic engine of the nation,” he bragged after the meeting. According to the White House, the President and evil-Cuomo did discuss the matter, but Trump reminded the Governor that exorbitantly high taxes in his state might be the problem. According to Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere, the President listened to evil-Cuomo’s SALT concerns then he “reiterated the negative impact that high taxes in states like New York have on hardworking families and job creators.”...  http://www.independentsentinel.com/nys-cuomo-meets-with-trump-to-whine-about-new-yorkers-moving-to-fl/

Sexual-Abuse Scandal Rocks the SBC
8njixE_2AyMjbfYkQF8gv-1CUjuwbPh247cJB07lo7rzotEvZqqI0QLmcp0lsFU_aytElU8tNYi2TqOctHwOSvBPzRPFuTtaKjhWTXnf3NQuZX3Lp0MFzRTPTFXBGK9gOlulvVMiffnvWLRzaLMRV1XigG035k6zyOXAL7Q=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
by Culture Beat:  Many Americans were shocked to learn of the scope of the sex-abuse scandal by clergy within the Roman Catholic Church and how church leaders covered it up for decades. Likewise, Americans should be equally outraged to learn of an eerily similar scandal within America’s largest protestant denomination — the Southern Baptists.

The Houston Chronicle recently published the first in a three-part exposé entitled “Abuse of Faith,” wherein is chronicled a 20-year history of Southern Baptist leadership essentially ignoring or suppressing complaints of sexual abuse raised against men within leadership positions in various churches. In some instances, individuals accused of sexual assault are still serving in leadership roles to this day.

The Chronicle notes that “more than 250 people who worked or volunteered in Southern Baptist churches have been charged with sex crimes.” Moreover, “It’s not just a recent problem: In all, since 1998, roughly 380 Southern Baptist church leaders and volunteers have faced allegations of sexual misconduct. … That includes those who were convicted, credibly accused and successfully sued, and those who confessed or resigned.”

Sexual abuse by those in authority is bad enough, but it’s that much worse when it comes at the hands of those in roles of spiritual authority who are supposed to guide and care for individuals’ eternal souls. As one of the victims, who was molested by his youth pastor, put it, “So many people’s faith is murdered. I mean, their faith is slaughtered by these predators.”

While the abuse reported is no less egregious than that within the Roman Catholic Church, there remains an important distinction that makes both addressing the problem and determining responsibility significantly different.

Unlike the Catholic Church’s hierarchical governance model — in which every parish and every priest is directly accountable to a centralized authority that runs all the way to the top in the Vatican — each church within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is essentially an autonomous local congregation that chooses to freely associate and organize with other local Baptist congregations in forming the “convention.” Also, Baptist pastors are not ordained by the denomination; they are ordained by and become members of the local congregation that called them.

Therefore, unlike the Catholic Church, the SBC does not hold near the authority as an organization over individual SBC congregations and their pastors. In other words, pastors answer to their local congregations. The SBC does not have the power to discipline a misbehaving pastor; that authority rests with his local congregation.

The question then is, to what degree should the SBC as a denomination be held accountable for past and present predatory pastors within some SBC churches? There’s no question that this scandal casts a shadow over the entire denomination of Southern Baptists. Secondly, this news should move every congregation to be even more vigilant in taking careful consideration in who they choose for leadership — and then keeping watch over how those leaders steward the position entrusted to them. Finally, and most importantly, it’s a reminder of the universal fallen nature of all humanity and our desperate need for the very Savior these churches worship.  ~The Patriot Post

 {aim.org} ~ A Senate committee – as did a House committee before it – has concluded President Trump did not collude with the Russians during the 2016 presidential campaign, and the media can’t stand it... “Trump claims ‘no collusion’ with Russia as leading Democrat says conclusion is premature,” read the headline on John Wagner’s story in the Washington Post – Trump only echoed the claim made by Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. The story for the Post was not that two years of intense investigation, interviews with more than 200 witnesses and reviews by joint staffers of more than 300,000 documents have turned up no evidence of collusion, as Sen. Burr said. It was that Democrats are trying to keep the door open. “President Trump continued Wednesday to highlight statements by the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee that it has found no collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign even as the panel’s top Democrat said that assessment is premature,” Wagner wrote. Wagner referenced a tweet from Trump that read: The Senate Intelligence Committee: THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION BETWEEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA!”...

{freebeacon.com} ~ Sen. lowlife-Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) earned "Four Pinocchios" from the Washington Post Wednesday for a claim it described as "nonsensical and misleading."... lowlife-Harris took a shot at President Donald Trump's tax reform Monday, claiming it was hurting the average American and the middle class. "The average tax refund is down about $170 compared to last year," she wrote. "Let’s call the President’s tax cut what it is: a middle-class tax hike to line the pockets of already wealthy corporations and the 1%. "The tweet described the decrease in the "average tax refund" as bad for Americans. lowlife-Harris based her claim on one week of early filing data from the Internal Revenue Service. The refund is the amount the IRS determines it withheld from a taxpayer's income in excess of the amount the taxpayer owed. That money gets returned at the end of the year. In effect, the government only returns at the end of the year income to which it was not entitled. That is money individuals could have used to make investments or pay off loans. "Ideally, you should end up with no refund or tax due," the Post‘s fact-checker Glenn Kessler wrote...

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The Department of Justice has charged a former Air Force intelligence specialist with spying on behalf of Iran, according to a grand jury indictment unsealed Wednesday. Monica Elfriede Witt, 39, who served in the Air Force until 2008... when she became a contractor for the Department of Defense, is accused of giving the Iranians code names and the mission of a secret Pentagon program involving U.S. intelligence operations, as well as revealing the identity of a U.S. intelligence officer. She defected to Iran in 2013 after being recruited by the country. “We believe that Witt still resides in Iran,” a Justice Department official told reporters Wednesday. The detailed indictment tells a story of a former intelligence specialist who had turned against the U.S., and was looking for an adversary — Iran or Russia — to share sensitive information that had the potential to harm the country she had previously defended. During her time in the Air Force and as a contractor, she had access to secret and top secret information, including the names of U.S. intelligence sources and under-cover agents. As a counterintelligence officer, she was deployed overseas, including to the Middle East, to conduct classified operations. The indictment alleges Witt attended a February 2012 conference in Iran hosted by the New Horizon Organization, which was sponsored by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp and “aimed at condemning American moral standards and promoting anti-U.S. propaganda.” That same month, she appeared in videos broadcast by Iranian media outlets, identified as a U.S. veteran, speaking critically of the American government...   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/u-s-charges-former-air-force-officer-with-spying-for-iran?utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_02/13/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News

{conservativefreepress.com} ~ If you needed any further assurance that Nancy Pulosi and her gang of thugs in Congress have absolutely no interest in solving our immigration crisis, Monday’s reports should sort out your confusion... With another government shutdown looming in the next few days, President Trump tweeted this week that Democrats are coming up with even more ludicrous demands that they want to see added into the bill. “The Democrats do not want us to detain, or send back, criminal aliens,” Trump tweeted. “This is a brand new demand. Crazy!” Democrats have confirmed that one of their new demands is that the Trump administration put a “cap” on the number of beds reserved for illegal immigrants caught by Border Patrol. After that cap is reached, the government will be forced to either expedite deportation – impossible with the current state of the courts – or release these illegals into America. In other words, they will have to go back to the good ol’ scumbag/liar-nObama policy of “catch and release.” That would be all fine and well, except for the fact that some 50% and that’s on the conservative side of these immigrants will never be seen by immigration authorities again. As Democrats damn well know. “For far too long, the Trump administration has been tearing communities apart with its cruel immigration policies,” Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA) said. “A cap on ICE detention beds will force the Trump administration to prioritize deportation for criminals and people who pose real security threats, not law-abiding immigrants who are contributing to our country.”...  http://www.conservativefreepress.com/politics/trump-slams-democrats-for-crazy-new-immigration-demand/

Trump reacts to Ted Cruz’s proposal to 
make El Chapo pay for border wall

{bizpacreview.com} ~ Republican Senator Ted Cruz says the United States must build a border wall, and Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman should pay for it. Cruz first made the suggestion in April 2017, when El Chapo was awaiting trial... He doubled-down on it yesterday, shortly after Guzman was convicted on 10 drug conspiracy charges in a federal court in New York. The $14 billion the US is seeking in illicit drug profits from El Chapo’s criminal enterprise is more than double the $5.7 billion President Trump wants for the wall. The one problem is that the US doesn’t have immediate access to those funds and officials don’t know for sure how much they will find. David Gaddis, a former chief of enforcement operations at the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) said that “the hard facts that back up the government’s assertion of the $14 billion figure lay in the reporting of DEA files, but they will only be accessible when they are made available to Guzman’s defense as discovery material during pre-trial proceedings,” according to Forbes.com...

No Evidence of Trump/Russia Collusion, but MSM
Still True Believer

by Thomas Gallatin:  “If we write a report based upon the facts that we have, then we don’t have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the Trump campaign and Russia,” Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) stated recently. And it appears that is exactly what the Senate Intelligence Committee will do. Burr added on Tuesday, “There is no factual evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.”

So, after two years of an investigation that was instigated by scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s opposition-research smear, the Senate has concluded — as President Donald Trump has steadfastly insisted the entire time and as the House concluded last year — there was no collusion.

Meanwhile, the mainstream media has ignored newly released FBI emails obtained via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) that reveal former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey sought to work a quid pro quo deal with Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s State Department in exchange for going easy on scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton with her private email server.

Back in October 2016, Fox News first reported the allegations of a quid pro quo deal, which former Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) called at the time “a flashing red light of potential criminality.” He further explained, “In return for altering the classification, the possibility of additional slots for the FBI at missions overseas was discussed.” It’s now clear that individuals within the FBI, including former FBI agent Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, were involved in discussing a quid pro quo arrangement, though there is no indication it was ever implemented.

On top of this comes Tuesday’s revelation that the Federal Election Committee (FEC) has refused to investigate allegations of scumbag/liar-Clinton’s campaign-money laundering scheme. The Federalist’s Margot Cleveland explains, “[The] complaint charged that, during the 2016 presidential election, Democrats illegally funneled approximately $84 million through the scumbag/liar-Hillary Victory Fund to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), which then illegally coordinated with the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign.” Nothing to see here; move along, says the FEC.

Once again, with all the thick, steady smoke emanating from scumbag/liar-Clinton and the DNC, it’s almost laughable the lengths to which the MSM goes in ignoring or outright denying that there is any scandal there, while at the same time fixating on a fictional Trump/Russia collusion conspiracy that has yet to produce one iota of actual evidence.  ~The Patriot Post

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ President Trump will declare a national emergency this week to build more border wall on the southern U.S. border, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., announced from the floor Thursday... McConnell said Trump would declare the emergency as he signs a border security compromise bill that Congress is expected to pass Thursday night. That bill lets Trump spend $1.375 billion on border fencing, but Trump has said for weeks he may declare an emergency if Congress doesn't give him the $5.7 billion he was looking for. "He will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time, and I've indicated to him that I'm going to ... support the national emergency declaration," McConnell said on the Senate floor. McConnell added he told Trump he supports his use of a National Emergency Declaration to win more border barriers. The House and Senate are scheduled to clear the spending bill today. Trump has indicated this week he will sign the bill even though it falls short of the money he wants, because he believes he has the authority to use pre-existing funding to build more border wall. Democrats and some Republicans do not back the president's idea of using his executive authority to reallocate funding. Many Republicans said they want more information about how it would be accomplished.
Here’s what Trump should do
with the border deal

{gopusa.com} ~ The bipartisan committee on border security has come up with a deal for President Trump just days before the next government shutdown. But should he sign it? Is it a good deal? Let’s dive into the details… So, after weeks of negotiations, here is what the 17-member bipartisan committee came up wtih: * $1.375 billion for physical barriers * 55 miles of new fencing * Border Patrol may use any current design but not concrete wall * Number of ICE detention beds is maintained at current level * No cap on detention beds, thus more funds could be used later for more beds * $1.7 billion increase in overall DHS spending for technology, ports of entry security, customs officers, and humanitarian aid. Sean Hannity has called it a bad bill. So has Ann Coulter. Rush Limbaugh think it’s good. Here’s what the president should do: Forget the Republican rhetoric of this being a “down payment.” It’s a bad deal. But it’s a congressional deal, and Trump has already set his terms with the American people. If he can move the Democrats from $0 to $1.375 billion, then take it and fund the rest through other channels. Sign the bill, but reject their “deal.” What do you think he should do?...  http://www.gopusa.com/?p=65054?omhide=true
Senate Dems Finally Forced to Admit 
There’s No Evidence of Russia Collusion

{bongino.com} ~ A report by NBC News reveals that Senate Democrats are finally admitting that their beloved Russia collusion narrative has crumbled... The report cites comments made last week by Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.), who told CBS News that their investigation found no evidence of collusion. “If we write a report based upon the facts that we have, then we don’t have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the Trump campaign and Russia,” he said. He continued, “If I can finish tomorrow, I would finish tomorrow. We know we’re getting to the bottom of the barrel because there’re not new questions that we’re searching for answers to.” NBC spoke with Democratic Senate investigators on condition of anonymity and the outlet reports that they “did not dispute Burr’s characterizations” to CBS. “We were never going to find a contract signed in blood saying, ‘Hey Vlad, we’re going to collude,'” one Democratic aide told NBC...

Judge doesn't accept privacy as reason to immediately block census citizenship question

{thehill.com} ~ A federal judge Friday said privacy concerns were not a sufficient reason to immediately block a question about citizenship from the census, declining a request to offer a preliminary injunction... “The Court will deny the plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction,” wrote Judge Dabney L. Friedrich. She argued that the Electronic Privacy Information Center, which requested the injunction, did not sufficiently prove that the government needed to do a “privacy impact assessment” before it could add a question to the census. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross first announced in March of last year that he would add a question about citizenship to the 2020 census. “The Bureau did not act contrary to the E-Government Act by deciding to collect citizenship data before conducting, reviewing, or releasing a PIA addressing that decision.” she wrote. “Nor have the defendants 'unlawfully withheld' agency action by declining to conduct or release a PIA earlier than they were required to under the statute.” It is still unclear whether the citizenship question will appear on the 2020 census because other lawsuits to block it are still pending...  https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/429278-judge-doesnt-accept-privacy-as-reason-to-immediately-block

{jpost.com} ~ Hamas is attempting to recruit West Bank and Jerusalem residents to join its ranks via social networks and television, with an emphasis to attract those who carry Israeli papers... Shin Bet said on Wednesday. Recruiters use social media such as Facebook alongside Al-Aqsa TV as means to recruit Palestinians, including women, to carry out attacks within Israel. The Hamas-run television channel had been used to transmit coded messages between the recruiters and their would-be agents. By placing a coffee cup in an agreed upon moment or citing a specific verse from the Quran, the recruiters were able to gain the trust of their targets. Hamas showed a great deal of interest in recruiting Palestinian residents of Jerusalem who have Israeli papers and can travel in the country freely, unlike West Bank residents who were asked to carry out stabbing attacks or suicide-bombing missions those holding Israeli ID's were asked to  photograph sites Hamas thought to be important.  Security services made several arrests and were able to prevent the attacks.  https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Hamas-attempts-to-recruit-West-Bank-Jerusalem-residents-via-satellite-580520

Dems’ Abortion Lies
by BETSY MCCAUGHEY

{spectator.org} ~ Democrats fighting to expand a woman’s “right to choose,” no matter how far along her pregnancy, claim late-term abortions are rare and done only when the woman’s health or life is at stake or the fetus has a fatal condition... 
That’s false. Here’s the truth: At least twelve thousand late term abortions are done every year in the U.S., and almost none out of medical necessity. Fetal abnormalities “make up a small minority of later abortions,” according to Diana Greene Foster of the University of California, San Francisco, lead investigator of the largest ever study of women seeking late-term abortions. Foster reports that threats to the health of the mother are even rarer. The study found women’s reasons were all over the place, including travel considerations, expense, indecision, and disagreement with the father. Sixteen percent of abortion facilities terminate pregnancies that are 24 weeks along  out of the full 40-week term, when many fetuses are viable outside the womb, according to the Congressional Research Service. Democrats are trying to make it even easier to get late-term abortions in states like New Mexico, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Virginia...  https://spectator.org/dems-abortion-lies/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=9f30dd4808-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_02_13_05_27&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-9f30dd4808-104608113

California's High-Speed Derail

by Nate Jackson:  Green New Deal proponents have some big dreams. One of them is “investing in … clean, affordable, and accessible transportation; and high-speed rail.” The FAQ section says the plan aims to “build out high-speed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary.” Fortunately, we have a real-world example of high-speed rail in America to see how well it will work. Let’s go to the tape.

“The project, as currently planned, would cost too much and take too long,” declared Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom in his State of the State Address this week.

Oh.

So, after current construction on one leg is done, Newsom laid the track for abandoning the boondoggle, though state Democrats rushed to insist he’s not killing the statewide plan.

Reason’s Scott Shackford writes of the California train, “Voters approved a ballot initiative in 2008 that set aside a $10 billion bond to begin the project of building a high-speed rail line from Los Angeles to San Francisco with the promise that more funding would come through from the feds or from private sources, that the train would not require subsidies to operate, and that it would help fight climate change.” Indeed, Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s infamous “stimulus” redistributed $3.5 billion to California for the train. Gavin’s not entirely giving up primarily because he’s “not interested in sending” that money “back to Donald Trump.”

Not to be completed until at least 2033, the latest estimate for the train’s price tag was $77 billion after initial estimates pegged it at $33 billion. In reality, it would probably end up costing well over $100 billion.

Newsom’s lack of enthusiasm for his predecessor Jerry Brown’s beloved project isn’t new, but the timing of his comments couldn’t have been worse for Green New Deal proponents. Doubly so as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared (with a smirk) that the chamber will actually vote on the resolution to “give everybody an opportunity to go on record and see how they feel about the Green New Deal.”

Dan McLaughlin quips, “If something is too expensive to build once, why not build it everywhere in the country instead?” He’s obviously joking, but don’t be surprised if that’s exactly the argument trotted out by GND chief engineer commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  ~The Patriot Post

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The Senate voted Thursday to confirm William Barr, President Trump’s pick to serve as his next attorney general. Barr had a simple majority of votes thanks to Republicans and a small group of Democrats who supported him... though the vote was still ongoing shortly after 1 p.m. Democrats who oppose Barr’s confirmation have criticized his ability to fairly oversee special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s probe into the Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with Russians. Many said they were alarmed by a 20-page memo Barr authored in June questioning the legitimacy of the dirty cop-Mueller probe and making the case that dirty cop-Mueller should not demand Trump “submit to interrogation about alleged obstruction.”Barr told Judiciary Committee lawmakers during his confirmation hearing his memo aimed to narrowly address the obstruction question and that he believes dirty cop-Mueller should be able to complete his investigation into alleged collusion. But Barr won the overwhelming support of Republican senators, who praised his long career as a lawyer and former attorney general for President George H.W. Bush. The position has been filled temporarily by Sessions’ chief of staff, Matthew Whitaker, since Sessions was fired.   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress/senate-confirms-william-barr-to-be-trumps-next-attorney-general?gfhadsg&utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_02/14/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ There have been reports recently that the Senate Intelligence Committee, the panel conducting the bipartisan flagship congressional investigation of the Trump-Russia affair... has not found evidence to conclude that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to fix the 2016 election. "If we write a report based upon the facts that we have, then we don't have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the Trump campaign and Russia," the committee's chairman, Republican Sen. Richard Burr, told CBS last week. Pressed on his statement a few days later, Burr said, "The only thing I've addressed is whether we had facts that suggest there was collusion. We don't have any." Burr added one caveat: "Just saying what factually we've found to date. We haven't finished our investigation."At about the same time, NBC News  reported that committee Democrats did not fundamentally dispute Burr's statement, although they emphasized they had uncovered no "direct" evidence of collusion. "Both Republicans and Democrats are telling us that they found no direct evidence of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, which after all was the big question that everyone was asking," said NBC's Ken Dilanian Tuesday. The talk prompted pushback from the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, Sen. Mark Warner, who told CNN that he is not on board with Burr. "Respectfully, I disagree," Warner said. "I'm not going to get into any conclusions I've reached, because my basis of this has been that I'm not going to reach any conclusion until we finish the investigation. And we still have a number of the key witnesses to come back."... They will never gave up.  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/byron-york-resistance-rattled-by-no-collusion-talk?utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_02/12/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief

Trump Prepares To Give In — Insists He Can 
Get Border Funding From ‘Other Sources’

by theconservativebrief.com:   As the conflict over the border wall continues to increase, certain reports are claiming that President Trump is preparing to “give in” to Congressional Democrats and seek border funding from other sources... reports The Daily Caller News Foundation. As the deadline to keep government open approaches, Congress has put forth a prospective “compromise” to meet President Trump’s immigration demands. Unfortunately, the aforementioned compromise is a far cry from receiving the $5.7 billion dollars which are paramount for building the wall along the Southern border. Of course, the Democrats know this and are doing everything they can to ram the legislation through Congress. If the Democrats have their way, the new bill to keep the government open after Friday will provide $1.375 billion dollars for a physical barrier at the Southern border and reduce the number of detention beds which are managed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Of course, this “compromise” is terrible because it fails to meet the stipulations which the president has repeatedly mandated. However, reports claim that President Trump may sign the legislation and then garner the rest of the funds from the government via executive order.

{thefederalist.com} ~ Tuesday evening the Committee to Defend the President (CDP) filed a motion in a D.C. federal court seeking to supplement the complaint it had filed against the Federal Election Committee (FEC) in April 2018... In its original complaint, the CDP alleged that the agency responsible for enforcing campaign-finance law failed to act on an administrative complaint the CDP had filed with the FEC. That complaint charged that, during the 2016 presidential election, Democrats illegally funneled approximately $84 million through the scumbag/liar-Hillary Victory Fund to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), which then illegally coordinated with the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign. To understand the alleged scheme requires familiarity with controlling campaign-finance law and campaign contribution limits. As I explained at the time CDP sued the FEC last April: Under federal law, ‘an individual donor can contribute $2,700 to any candidate, $10,000 to any state party committee, and during the 2016 cycle $33,400 to a national party’s main account. These groups can all get together and take a single check from a donor for the sum of those contribution limits—it’s legal because the donor cannot exceed the base limit for any one recipient. And state parties can make unlimited transfer to their national party.’ This legal loophole allows ‘bundlers’ to raise large sums of money from wealthy donors—more than $400,000 at a time—filtering the funds to the national committees. Democrats and Republicans alike exploit this tactic. But once the money reaches the national committees, other limits apply. During the 2016 election cycle, Democrats followed this formula, with scumbag/liar-Clinton, the DNC, and participating state Democratic committees establishing the scumbag/liar-Hillary Victory Fund (HVF) as a joint fundraising committee to accept contributions from large donors. To comply with the law, the HVF needed to transfer the donations to the specified recipients, whether the scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign, down-ticket Democrats, the DNC, or state committees...  http://thefederalist.com/2019/02/13/fec-still-refuses-investigate-alleged-84-million-clinton-campaign-money-laundering/?utm_source=The+Federalist+List&utm_campaign=86a01b61c5-RSS_The_Federalist_Daily_Updates_w_Transom&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_cfcb868ceb-86a01b61c5-83771801

Israelis Respond to Christian Warning
 that Saudis Might Destroy Mount Sinai

by israeltoday.co.il:   Israeli media on Tuesday picked up on the recent claim by Christian  researchers that the real Mount Sinai is in Saudi Arabia, and that the Saudi authorities might soon bulldoze the holy mountain to prevent what they call "idolatrous" attention... The Doubting Thomas Research Foundation has for years been trying to prove that the biblical Red Sea crossing took place between the Sinai Peninsula and what is now Saudi Arabia, and that the real Mount Sinai is located in the oil-rich kingdom at a site known as Jabal al-Lawz. In a recently-published video clip, the group's director, Ryan Mauro, is seen secretly visiting Jabal al-Lawz before being chased away by locals. Mauro claims that the Saudi regime knows that the mountain in question is the biblical Mount Sinai, and is doing all it can to keep that fact from going public. A local jihadi who he interviewed in the video seemed to agree. "When I was in the jihad world we all knew that the Mount Sinai was in Saudi Arabia," the jihadi says while speaking through a voice changer with his face hidden. "The people on the outside had no idea that it was there," he added. "We fighters didn’t want anyone to know about it, and we knew the Saudi government hid it and protected it with security and we all agreed with it."...

Europe Takes Steps to Bypass
U.S. Sanctions on Iran
by Eric B. Lorber and Behnam Ben Taleblu

{fdd.org} ~ Last month, foreign ministers from the E3 France, Germany, and the United Kingdom heralded the creation of a long-awaited alternative payments system for transactions with Iran...
 By doing so, Europe is acting on its pledge to keep the Iran nuclear deal alive by shielding certain transactions with Iran from U.S. sanctions. Taken at face value, the E3’s Instrument for Supporting Trade Exchanges, or INSTEX, mechanism serves to support “legitimate trade” between Europe and Iran consisting of non-sanctionable goods like food and medicine. INSTEX also aims to add new countries to its payments system over time. While trade in permitted goods does not threaten American sanctions on Iran, such a channel has the potential to be abused and expanded, posing a serious risk to the Iran sanctions regime and to Washington’s coercive economic power. Risks aside, INSTEX is legally redundant; by definition, it is already permissible for non-U.S. firms to engage in non-sanctionable trade. When restoring sanctions on November 5, the U.S. Treasury reiterated that humanitarian transactions with Iran could continue. Similarly, SWIFT, the financial messaging service, facilitates humanitarian  transactions. Moreover, countries that have received sanctions exemptions to purchase Iranian oil will once again be depositing their payments to Iran in escrow accounts to promote trade in non-sanctionable goods. Given Iran’s access to such means and funding, the shortage of basic consumer goods at home is only due to the regime failing to prioritize the needs of its own people. The risk of abuse related to INSTEX stems from Iran’s ongoing employment of deceptive financial practices. A 2018 Treasury advisory  noted that Tehran “has long used front and shell companies to exploit financial systems around the world to generate revenues and transfer funds in support of malign conduct.” Iran has had no qualms engaging in fraudulent activity on the soil of countries like Germany that are spearheading the effort to assist Iran...

Anti-Trump Press Spins Bigger Paychecks 
as a Bad Thing

by Louis DeBroux:  A recent Washington Post headline perfectly captures the length the media and Democrats (but we repeat ourselves) will go to spin, distort, and lie in order to deny any positive coverage to President Donald Trump and Republicans.

The headline reads “Millions of Americans could be stunned as their tax refunds shrink,” which on its face seems a pretty damning indictment of President Trump’s signature legislative achievement of his first two years. After all, Trump and congressional Republicans touted tax reform as a huge victory for the American people, yet now we are learn millions of Americans are receiving lower tax refunds than expected? Have Republicans pulled a fast one on the American people and lied about the benefits of the tax cuts?

Hardly.

The Post, having done a masterful job of burying the lede, eventually gets to the truth … in paragraph 13. After noting the average tax refund is down 8% from last year (about $170) and quoting American workers angry and frustrated at smaller tax refunds (for which they blame Republicans), the Post finally drops this little nugget of truth:

Many Americans may confuse their meager refunds as a sign that they paid more in taxes as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Generally, that is not true.

According to the Tax Policy Center, 80 percent of filers received a tax cut, and about 5 percent wound up paying more in federal income taxes. The tax cuts showed up in fatter weekly or biweekly paychecks for most Americans, but few people noticed, according to polling.

“There’s a difference between taxes and your refund,” said Joseph Rosenberg, a senior research associate at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center at the Urban Institute. “People generally got a piece of their tax cut last year gradually in the form of lower withholding on their paychecks.”

In other words, 80% of Americans are receiving smaller refunds because fewer tax dollars were taken from their weekly paychecks!

And that is a very good thing. Aside from the simple fact of having more money on a regular basis, Nicole Kaeding, director of federal projects at the Tax Foundation, points out, “Getting a tax refund means that you gave the government an interest-free loan because you overpaid your taxes.”

A small percentage of Americans are feeling a pinch from the new tax law; primarily the more affluent taxpayers in high-tax, Democrat-run states. Under the new tax law, the SALT (state and local income taxes, and property taxes) deduction was capped at $10,000. In past years, these Democrat states have gotten away with forcing the rest of America to subsidize their lavish welfare  programs and government-employee benefits. Voters in these states were apparently perfectly happy to keep electing leftist politicians who enact these high tax rates, knowing they could deduct those taxes on their federal returns and make the rest of us cover the difference. With the SALT deduction cap, they are finally feeling the sting.

To be sure, many Americans are excited to receive a large tax-refund check, despite personal-finance experts telling us that is simply not a good idea. As Rosenberg notes, “It’s a mystery why taxpayers seem to be comfortable — and even happy — with getting refund checks.” Our banks certainly would never give us interest-free loans, so why should we give the government one, rather than using that extra money to pay down debt or increase savings?

Despite the intentional misrepresentation and criticism by the press, the tax cuts have been an enormous success.

After the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the positive benefits kick in almost immediately. Hundreds of American corporations announced wage increases and bonuses ranging from $1,000 to $2,500 for rank-and-file workers. Even Walmart, the corporation leftists most love to hate because they claim it forces workers to labor for slave wages, responded to the tax cut by raising its minimum wage to $11/hour, a full 52% higher than the federal minimum wage demands.

Not surprisingly, then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pulosi referred to these worker windfalls as “pathetic,” “insignificant,” and “crumbs.” Other Democrats claimed the corporations had planned on these wage increases and bonuses anyway, and it was entirely coincidental that they occurred right after the Republican tax cuts.

Yet none other than Apple, the proudly “liberal,” Trump-hating corporation adored for its “wokeness” by idealistic “progressives,” admitted the GOP tax cuts were the catalyst. Apple CEO Tim Cook announced that, due to the lower corporate tax rate, Apple would repatriate $250 billion dollars into the U.S. economy, in the process paying a $38 billion tax bill. Additionally, Apple handed out $2,500 in stock grants to employees, and announced an additional $350 billion investment in the U.S., creating 20,000 new jobs.

Democrat Sen. lowlife-Kamala Harris, working hard to win the hearts of the party’s far-left wing and thus the Democrat 2020 presidential nomination, tweeted, “The average tax refund is down about $170 compared to last year. Let’s call the President’s tax cut what it is: a middle-class tax hike to line the pockets of already wealthy corporations and the 1%.”

Her spin is so demonstrably false that even The Washington Post’s “fact-checker” was obliged to award her Four Pinocchios for lying.

Even so, while the GOP/Trump tax cuts (which not a single Democrat voted for) have been a massive jumpstart to the economy, neither Trump nor Republicans can depend on a hostile press to really admit the truth. They’ll have to take this good news directly to the American people.  ~The Patriot Post

by Media Editors:  The ball officially gets rolling today on the bipartisan budget agreement reached earlier this week. “Lawmakers filed a broad border security spending bill early Thursday that is expected to clear Congress by the end of the day,” the Washington Examiner reports. Expectations are that President Donald Trump will sign off on the legislation while continuing to independently pursue additional funding for the border barrier.
.
According to Yahoo News, “Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe says that after President Trump fired his boss, FBI Director scumbag-James Comey, there were discussions within the Department of Justice about invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.” However, “In a statement released by the Justice Department, Rosenstein said McCabe’s account of a discussion of invoking the 25th amendment was ‘inaccurate and factually incorrect.’” This story needs to play out, but there’s certainly some evidence that the DOJ was gearing up to obstruct Trump.
.
According to Politico, “A federal judge ruled in favor of dirty cop-Robert Mueller on Wednesday that Paul Manafort intentionally violated the terms of his guilty plea by lying to federal prosecutors and a grand jury, clearing the way for the special counsel to push for a harsher sentence.” All told, Manafort, whose sentencing will occur on March 13, could face a decade behind bars.
.
A potentially significant move transpired courtesy of the Senate Rules Committee, which yesterday “approved a change to the rules to shorten the debate time for judicial nominees,” Townhall  reveals. “Currently, up to 30 hours of debate time is allowed before a nominee is approved for service. But if the new rule … is approved in the Senate floor, it will reduce the maximum time to just two hours.” This could provide major inroads towards splintering the Democrats’ obstruction tactics.
.
“William ‘Brock’ Long, the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency for the past two years, announced his resignation and retirement on Wednesday after an investigation into his misuse of government resources. … Long’s misuse of government resources became the subject of a federal investigation, after which he reimbursed the government for his personal use of government vehicles to travel from Washington, D.C. to his North Carolina home. The Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general found that Long’s exploitation of official resources cost taxpayers $94,000 in staff salary, $55,000 in travel expenses, and $2,000 in vehicle maintenance.” (National Review)
.
According to The Washington Post, “The House Judiciary Committee passed a measure Wednesday that would require background checks for all gun sales and most gun transfers within the United States, the most significant gun-control legislation to advance this far in Congress in years. … The committee also voted 23 to 15 to advance a bill that would close a loophole in the current background-check law that allows a gun purchase if a check is not completed in three days.” For the record, new background checks still wouldn’t have prevented recent mass shootings.
.
On a related note, Red Flag laws, The Washington Free Beacon  explains, “are intended to allow certain people to petition a court in order to have firearms temporarily taken from somebody they believe to be a threat to themselves or others.” In 2018, these laws resulted in 1,700 court orders — but that’s probably a lowball estimate due to deficient data. “The National Rifle Association … supports the laws but only if they meet certain due process requirements.”
.
Sadly, the Left won’t allow them to move on with their lives: “The Diocese of Covington’s investigation of an incident involving local high school students in Washington, D.C., that went viral has found that the students did not ‘instigate the incident.’ On Wednesday, Bishop Rev. Roger Foys said his hopes had been realized in that the Covington Catholic students were exonerated and that they ‘can move forward with their lives.’” (USA Today)
.
About that “peak oil” narrative… The Houston Chronicle reveals, “Crude oil production in Texas has beaten a previous record set in the 1970s, a new report from the Texas Independent Producers Royalty Owners Association stated. Texas oil wells produced more than 1.54 billion barrels of crude in 2018, beating the previous record of 1.28 billion barrels set in 1973… Natural gas production also grew, reaching 8.8 trillion cubic feet in 2018.” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott observes, “As the national leader in oil and natural gas production, Texas is paving the way for America’s energy independence.”
.
Amazon is among the world’s elite corporations. It has hovered around $1 trillion in market value for some time now, yet it won’t be sending any income tax to Uncle Sam. The Week reports, “Amazon, which doubled its profits and made more than $11 billion in 2018, won’t pay any federal income taxes for the second year in a row, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy reported on Wednesday. The company will not be required to pay the standard 21 percent income tax rate on its 2018 profits, and is claiming a tax rebate of $129 million, which ITEP describes as a ‘a tax rate of negative 1 percent.’” Some might say billionaire socialist Jeff Bezos isn’t paying his “fair share.”
.
Reports are surfacing that Amazon may renege on its headquarters arrangement in New York City. And according to Fox Business, commerce-friendly Tennessee — whose capital city of Nashville was a finalist — continues to be “very interested” in landing the new headquarters. Fox reports, “‘The question is whether it’s worth it if the politicians in New York don’t want the project, especially with how people in Virginia and Nashville have been so welcoming,’ said one person familiar with the company’s plans.” It’s almost like Amazon should have picked somewhere else in the first place.
.
With friends like these… “The Department of Justice announced early Wednesday that it had indicted Monica Elfriede Witt, also known as Fatemah Zahra, a former active duty U.S. Air Force Intelligence Specialist and Special Agent, for attempting to pass classified American information to Iran. … Witt had access to ‘classified information, including details of ongoing counterintelligence operations, true names of sources, and the identities of U.S. agents involved in the recruitment of those sources,’ according to the indictment.” (The Washington Free Beacon)

{dailycaller.com} ~ Alabama Republican Sen. Richard Shelby announced Monday night that congressional negotiators reached an agreement to fund the border wall... thereby avoiding another government shutdown on Friday, but House Republican leadership had not seen details of the agreement when Shelby made his pronouncement. Georgia Republican Rep. Tom Graves, a member of the bipartisan Conference Committee who has been negotiating the deal since the government re-opened nearly three weeks ago, tweeted Tuesday morning, “I haven’t signed off on the reported ‘deal,’ nor have I seen it. Based on the reports, I have concerns. Lots of questions, too.” When The Daily Caller asked House Minority Whip Steve Scalise about Graves comment he replied, “He hasn’t he hasn’t seen the details I haven’t seen the details. I don’t think Leader McCarthy has seen the details.” He added, “Clearly, the details matter and I’m waiting to see those and I want to speak to the president later today as we’ll see where he is once he sees all the details.”...

{freebeacon.com} ~ They can't enjoy making President Trump's point by repeatedly telling us it's one of the safest cities in America. The Washington Post is eager to pull an Acosta, with its headline pronouncing "No Crisis Exists" where there is a border wall... It's almost as if … walls work. But not if Trump says they do. Crime has been falling for decades they say, and it has nothing to do with the fence separating it from Ciudad Juarez, which is not, how should we say, safe. "Texas city U.S. safest, despite Mexico drug war next door," Reuters reported in December 2010, after new fencing was completed a year before. Stray bullets from Mexican cartel gun battles did break a window in the El Paso mayor's assistant's office but the violence, where "more than 3,000 people have been tortured, shot and blasted to death in gang warfare," was contained in Ciudad Juarez. What could possibly have helped keep El Paso safe?...

Trump Confronts evil-Cuomo
On Late-Term Abortion

{dailycaller.com} ~ President Donald Trump raised his concerns about the Democratic embrace of late-term abortion legislation during a Tuesday evening Oval Office meeting... the White House said in a readout. “The president raised his concerns to Governor evil-Cuomo about Democrats’ support of late-term abortions,” deputy press secretary Judd Deere said in a Tuesday evening statement. The two leaders also discussed “the positive impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on the American economy, and the president listened to the governor’s concerns regarding SALT. The president reiterated the negative impact that high taxes in states like New York have on hardworking families and job creators.”Deere continued, “The president discussed economic growth opportunities for the state of New York, including helping lower energy prices throughout the entire Northeast by allowing low-cost, American energy to thrive with fracking and pipeline systems. The two also discussed the need to update America’s outdated infrastructure system.” Trump has blasted late-term abortion proponents in New York state and Virginia in recent days, raising the issue in his State of the Union address: “To defend the dignity of every person, I am asking the Congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late-term abortion of children who can feel pain in the mother’s womb.”...

{freebeacon.com} ~ Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) found herself on Monday apologizing, sort of, for the second time in three weeks over anti-Semitic comments when she tweeted politicians who support Israel are paid to do so... After Omar said AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobbying group, paid off politicians like House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) to support Israel, she was forced to apologize by some of her colleagues, including Speaker Nancy Pulosi (D., Calif.). Omar said "I unequivocally apologize" before immediately equivocating and saying AIPAC played a "problematic role in our politics." Among those defending her original tweets were former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke and Women's March co-founder  Tamika Mallory, who is known for coziness with radical anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan. In a cringe-worthy segment last month on "The View," Mallory refused to condemn Farrakhan's horrific remarks about Jews, such as calling them termites, but instead said "it's not my language" and that she didn't agree with some of his statements. She has previously called him the "GOAT," or Greatest of All Time, although she said that was due to his work in the black community...With no prove of honesty how can anyone voted for Omar.  https://freebeacon.com/politics/the-democrats-have-an-anti-semitic-problem/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=8e626f05f5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_02_12_11_39_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-8e626f05f5-45611665

{dailycaller.com} ~ Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney grilled environmental experts on their travel methods at a House hearing on climate change while discussing the Green New Deal’s call to phase out air travel... “My constituents are obviously very concerned about this notion that we are somehow going to transition over the course of 10 years here to an economy that is entirely run on green energy,” Cheney said during a Natural Resources subcommittee hearing. “Certainly, they have concerns about the fossil fuel aspect of that.” “I have to say, one of the issues that people are particularly concerned about is the extent to which we are no longer going to have air travel, apparently,” Cheney continued, referencing the Frequently Asked Question section of Democratic New York Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s proposed Green New Deal. The Green New Deal calls to “totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out high-speed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary,” according to commie-Ocasio-Cortez’s website...  https://dailycaller.com/2019/02/12/liz-cheney-green-new-deal-question/?utm_medium=email

MAGA: Quality of Life and Optimism Soaring 
to New Heights

by Jordan Candler:  In his State of the Union Address last week, President Donald trump heralded the “thriving” U.S. economy, which he called “the envy of the world.” Some have called the president’s characterization of the economy hyperbole, but there’s a plethora of evidence proving he’s right: The economy is changing Americans’ quality of life and stimulating confidence.

The IBD/TIPP Quality of Life Index is one metric that backs the president. The index has been tabulated for 17 years now, and it “asks the public whether they think their quality of life will be better, worse or the same over the next six months,” as  explained by Investor’s Business Daily. The full-span average is 56.2. By that measure, Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s 53.7 rating was subpar. But the index balloons to 59.3 halfway through Trump’s first term. The most interesting variable is independents. According to IBD, “Their quality of life averaged 52 under scumbag/liar-nObama. It’s averaging 58.8 under Trump.”

This segues nicely into Gallup polling regarding Americans’ confidence. Gallup reports that “Americans’ optimism about their personal finances has climbed to levels not seen in more than 16 years, with 69% now saying they expect to be financially better off ‘at this time next year.’” This percentage is bested only by the 71% registered in March 1998. Moreover, “Fifty percent say they are better off today than they were a year ago.”

Clearly, the Trump economy isn’t limp like it was under scumbag/liar-nObama. And that’s due to a combination of heavy deregulation, impressive job creation, and tax reform. Amazingly, Democrats are trying to spin all of these — but especially tax reform — as detrimental. Presidential candidate lowlife-Kamala Harris even asserted, “The average tax refund is down about $170 compared to last year. Let’s call the President’s tax cut what it is: a middle-class tax hike to line the pockets of already wealthy corporations and the 1%.”

Fortunately, most Americans are rejecting this snake oil because they understand more take-home pay as a result of less tax withholding means a lesser refund come tax filing. And their quality of life and optimism are the better for it.  ~The Patriot Post

Capitol Hill GOP Caves On Border Wall Deal

by conservativehq.com:   Word is leaking out about the “agreement in principle” that Capitol Hill Republicans have struck with Democrats to avoid another partial government shutdown and the deal appears to be another craven cave-in by the Capitol Hill GOP... According to an analysis circulated by our friend Daniel Horowitz of Conservative Review, “Trump began with a demand of $25 billion in border funding to solve a policy problem with money. Then it became $5.6 billion. In the “deal” cooked up by a congressional committee, it’s reportedly $1.375 billion, which is actually slightly less than the $1.6 billion Senate Democrats already agreed to last June! Now… we are left with enough money to build 55 miles of bollard fencing…” After all this sturm und drang the Capitol Hill Republican “leadership” is prepared to agree to just 55 miles of bollard fencing? This cave-in should really surprise no one because, as we have regularly pointed out in past columns, the Capitol Hill Republicans on the Conference Committee were, as usual, AWOL on the Wall. The best Rep. Kay Granger could muster was that she has worked well with senior Democrat Rep. Lowey in the past while the others issued bland statements talking about bipartisan solutions to border security. Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby issued no pre-hearing statement we could find and remained mum about fighting for the Wall throughout the negotiations...   http://www.conservativehq.com/node/29674

{freebeacon.com} ~ Senate Democrats will have to take a side on the proposed Green New Deal, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) announced Tuesday... Speaking with reporters in the Capitol about the budget and upcoming Senate legislation, McConnell confirmed the resolution, which was introduced last week, would come before the Senate. "I've noted with great interest the Green New Deal, and we're going to be voting on that in the Senate," he said. "We'll give everyone an opportunity to go on record and see how they feel about the Green New Deal." The Green New Deal, an economic stimulus plan in the style of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's expansive New Deal, aims to fight income inequality and climate change by fundamentally changing the nation's energy sources, infrastructure, and welfare. Freshman Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and veteran Sen. Ed Marky (D., Mass.) introduced the resolution with a turbulent rollout last Thursday. The idea is not new. It received prominent support from Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein in 2012 and 2016. Now, however, at least 15 congressional Democrats are supporting the legislation, moving the fringe idea closer to the mainstream...  https://freebeacon.com/politics/mcconnell-to-get-dems-on-record-about-whether-they-support-green-new-deal/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=86d7b82277-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_03_19_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-86d7b82277-45611665

by thewashingtonstandard.com:   As politicians and anti-gun rights activists continuously chant, “we don’t want to take your guns,” behind the scenes — in only the year — politicians have been working overtime to limit your right to bear arms... These laws are all a reaction to the tragic shooting in Parkland, Florida and, like most politicians always do, they are not letting this tragedy go to waste. Since the tragic shooting in Florida last February, the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence has recorded a whopping 55 new gun control measures in 26 states—in just the first six months of the year. Some of these laws being passed are ‘Red Flag’ laws which are used to disarm individuals who are reported as a threat by a family member or friend. Many believe that these red flag laws are dangerous as they can prompt police action with little to no due process. As a recent report out of FOX32, points out, nine states have passed laws over the past year allowing police or household members to seek court orders requiring people deemed threatening to temporarily surrender their guns, bringing the total to 14. Several more are likely to follow in the months ahead. To show how willing these states are to use these laws, an unprecedented 1,700 orders to seize guns were issued in 2018, likely resulting in the confiscation of thousands of guns...  https://thewashingtonstandard.com/unprecedented-gun-confiscation-hits-us-as-thousands-of-guns-seized-from-innocent-citizens/

{ipatriot.com} ~ The Democrats’ and President Trump’s positions on the wall are diametrically opposed. scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton insists: ‘There’s No National Emergency At Our Border’*... while the President insists we have a National Crisis. Obviously, someone is lying.  Just consider the facts: Drug Cartels have turned Mexico into an extremely dangerous and violent country. In 2018, Mexico suffered 40,000 murders. A Mexican Mayor was shot and killed the day he took office. Just today,  Hugo Figueroa, a cattle rancher was kidnapped, tortured, tied up and then killed. In 2018, Cancun had 540 homicides. Last week, dismembered body parts were dumped outside the Mayor’s office. In January 2019 alone, there were another 30 executions in Cancun. Drug Cartels bribe Mexican Politicians and get co-operation in return: In a NY Court, El Chapo’s accountant admitted they regularly bribe Mexican politicians; and that they paid a $100 million bribe to former President Enrique Pena Nieto The Mexican Government, in turn, colludes with the Cartels; provides temporary visas, food and housing for the illegals; and clears the way for the busses to bring them to our border. El Paso is a major smuggling route for drugs, illegals and even Islamic Terrorists: Today, the President had a massive rally at the border. Beto O’Rourke (D) who represented  El Paso, claims Ciudad Juarez, just across the border, is perfectly safe and the wall is unnecessary. Yet in 2018, 1123 people were murdered in Ciudad Juarez vs 23 in El Paso.  Juarez is renowned for beheadings, gunfights, kidnappings and drug trafficking; and is among the world’s most dangerous places, and the most dangerous city in the Western Hemisphere!!

A Travesty in New York

by Rich Lowry 

There were two victims in the horrific attack earlier this month on Jennifer Irigoyen in New York City. But the state’s law recognizes only one of them.

Anthony Hobson allegedly dragged his pregnant former girlfriend into the stairwell of her Queens apartment building and stabbed her in the stomach, neck and torso. Irigoyen was in her second trimester. Neither she nor her unborn child survived.

The Queens district attorney initially announced that Hobson would be charged with second-degree murder and abortion, reasonably enough, considering that he stands accused of killing both Irigoyen and her child. Then he dropped the abortion charge in light of the state’s radical new pro-abortion law.

The law aims to bless any abortion under any circumstance, and with a grim consistency doesn’t allow the state specially to punish even violent attacks on the unborn.

The New York State Catholic Conference warned of exactly this prior to passage. “Moving abortion from the Penal Law to the Public Health Law,” it warned, “is a major policy shift that removes accountability for those who would harm unborn children outside the context of medical termination of pregnancy.” No one cared.

New York is wildly out of the mainstream on this question. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, as of mid-2018, at least 38 states had fetal homicide laws, and 29 of them had laws that applied from conception. There is also a federal law.

It doesn’t take much moral insight to realize that stabbing to death an unborn child is a profound wrong that deserves to be treated as a crime. But America’s abortion advocates specialize in moral obtuseness. They are opposed to recognition of personhood of any sort for the unborn child, worried that such a concession might undermine the premises of our sweepingly latitudinarian abortion regime.

Such protections raise the question: If an assailant can’t kill a fetus, why can anyone else?

The pro-abortion advocates argue that there’s no practical need for fetal protection laws. Judges, they say, can increase the penalty against an attacker who kills an unborn child. Yes, but there is no guarantee that any given judge will. The charges for a serious assault on a pregnant mother will be stiff regardless, they say. Perhaps, but why ignore one of the crimes?

We don’t say of a mass murderer, “He will spend a lifetime behind bars for one killing, so why charge him with the others?” Justice demands that the state pursue charges in behalf of all the victims.

The pro-abortion forces blinker themselves against how the vast majority of people consider an unborn child. Even before her child is born, a mother — and her family — sacrifices for her child, protects her child, prays for her child and dreams for her child. She talks to her child, and often names her child. She takes her child to the doctor. She, later in her pregnancy, knows when her child is active and when her child is resting.

Her unborn child, in short, is already what it will be after he or she is born — a cause of worry and joy, and ceaseless wonder at the miracle of life.

It is telling that pro-abortion advocates resort to euphemism even in this season of extremism. The New York law is called the Reproductive Health Act, an audacious abuse of language; the law is hostile to reproduction and dismissive of the health of unborn children. Two New York legislators wrote a defense of the law that constantly referred to “abortion care,” as if the addition of “care” softens the reality of what they are supporting.

The wordplay is cute, but the fact is that they deliberately denied the most innocent and vulnerable any explicit protection from heinous violence. This isn’t pro-choice. It isn’t humane. And it doesn’t have anything to do with medicine. In New York, pro-abortion advocates have shown us what they really are, and no one should ever forget.  ~The Patriot Post

I wanted to take the liberty of sharing the following letter that I recently sent to our NM Governor with you regarding security and/or lack thereof at our southern border:

February 14, 2019

Honorable Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham:

On January 18, 2019, I wrote to your office regarding various gun control proposals that you supported on the campaign trail and which had recently been filed in the New Mexico Legislature, along with revealing some safety and security concerns that were expressed by several ranchers that currently reside at and/or near our southern border after discovering Islamic prayer rugs on their property in the past several months. What follows are links to articles and/or reports that were included in said letter:

New Mexico Gov. Grisham is allowing the invasion of her state!-Posted on Conservative Review-By Daniel Horowitz-On February 11, 2019:

https://www.conservativereview.com/news/new-mexico-gov-grisham-allowing-invasion-state/

I, like many other New Mexico residents, am extremely concerned about your recent actions that called for the removal of the majority of our National Guard troops from our southern boarder, as reported in the above recent articles and/or reports, because of the disturbing information that was revealed during a recent Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Worldwide Threats that were predicated on a just released report titled: "World-Wide Threat Assessment," which was issued by Daniel Coats, the Director of the Office of National Intelligence. Elements of this report addressed issues that have a nexus to border security and immigration law enforcement.  What follows is a link to a recent article and/or report that revealed said Senate Intelligence Committee hearing:

World-Wide Threat Assessment Makes Powerful Case For Border Security: Senate hears from leaders of the intelligence community!-Posted on Front Page Magazine-By Michael Cutler-On February 1, 2019:

Additionally, On or about February 10, 2019, Judicial Watch (a non-partisan watch group) published an article that revealed a year-long investigation that meticulously lays out some extremely disturbing information about El Paso being a major smuggling route into the U.S. for Mexican drugs, illegal immigrants, and Islamic terrorists, along with being the headquarters of a sophisticated narco-terror ring operated by two of the FBI’s most wanted. I have taken the liberty of including Judicial Watch’s recent article and/or report in its entirety for effect, along with a link to said article and/or report:

“President Donald Trump’s El Paso visit is a great opportunity to point out that the west Texas city is a rats’ nest of law enforcement corruption, a major smuggling route into the U.S. for Mexican drugs, illegal immigrants, and Islamic terrorists and the headquarters of a sophisticated narco-terror ring operated by two of the FBI’s most wanted. While local officials promote it as one of America’s safest cities, Judicial Watch has exposed in a years-long investigation the disturbing reality gripping the municipality that sits along the Rio Grande across famously violent Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) says El Paso is a major hub for Mexican opioids and methamphetamine enroute to the rest of the United States. Just a few days ago U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released figures showing that the El Paso sector had an astounding 1,588% increase in illegal immigrant apprehensions during the first month of 2019 compared to the first month of 2018. Most are coming from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.

Drugs and Central Americans aren’t the only things being smuggled in through El Paso. Islamic terrorists are also making it into the U.S. with the help of Mexican drug cartels. Judicial Watch exposed an operation in which Mexican drug cartels smuggle foreigners from countries with terrorist links into a small rural town near El Paso by using remote farm roads—rather than interstates—to elude the Border Patrol and other law enforcement barriers. The foreigners are classified as Special Interest Aliens (SIA) and are transported to stash areas in Acala, a rural crossroads located around 54 miles from El Paso on a state road – Highway 20. Once in the U.S., the SIAs wait for pick-up in the area’s sand hills just across Highway 20.

Judicial Watch also broke a story about an ISIS training cell just a few miles from El Paso in an area known as “Anapra” situated just west of Ciudad Juárez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Law enforcement and intelligence sources on both sides of the border confirm that cartel-backed “coyotes” help smuggle ISIS terrorists through the desert and into the U.S. between Acala and Fort Hancock, Texas. The areas are targeted for exploitation by ISIS because of their understaffed municipal and county police forces and the relative safe-havens the terrain provides for the unchecked large-scale drug smuggling. In the aftermath of Judicial Watch’s story about Islamic terrorists operating in Juárez, Beto O’Rourke, the former congressman that’s holding an anti-Trump rally during the president’s event at the El Paso County Coliseum, tried to silence federal law enforcement sources. O’Rourke, who represented El Paso in the House before a failed Senate bid, has long declared that Juárez is safe even as the notoriously violent region adjacent to his district is renowned for beheadings, gunfights, kidnappings and drug trafficking. Juárez is among the world’s most dangerous cities and the most dangerous place in the western hemisphere.

The problems in El Paso aren’t limited to the immediate border region. In 2014 Judicial Watch exposed a sophisticated narco-terror ring, operated by two of the FBI’s most wanted, with roots and financing in El Paso. Its ringleader is an ISIS operative named Emad Karakrah, who was recently released on parole in Illinois. Karakrah smuggled drugs and weapons for the renowned Juárez drug cartel in Mexico and was a logistics and transportation operative for militant Islamists in the United States. He moved people, weapons, explosives, drugs, money, and other materiel to terrorist cells operating in Chicago, Brooklyn, New York and Saddle Brook, New Jersey, among other locations across the U.S. Karakrah and his cohorts— including two of the FBI’s most wanted terrorists (Jaber A. Elbaneh and Adnan Gulshair el Shukrijumah)—operated from El Paso. Judicial Watch also produced an investigative documentary about the narco-terrorist cell.

El Paso is also known for corruption within the law enforcement ranks. The former deputy chief of the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office (EPCSO), Jesus “Eddie” Campa, got criminally indicted for embezzling millions of dollars in Homeland Security funds. Campa served in the department as a jailer and officer for two decades. He left the agency following the indictment allegations, supposedly for embezzling $5.6 million in Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) funds, sources told Judicial Watch. His boss, Sheriff Richard Wiles, has also been embroiled in several scandals. Besides looking the other way as one of his trusted deputy chiefs embezzled millions of dollars, Wiles, serving his third term as sheriff, attended a fundraising event at the home of a convicted felon with connections to the illegal drug trade. El Paso County sheriff’s deputies have reported, in detail, to Judicial Watch how the sheriff’s office manipulates and phonies-up crime reporting statistics to minimize the true crime rate in the county.”

Looking forward to hearing from your office regarding this extremely concerning issue.

Please feel free to contact me at my email address.

Thank you again for your continued honorable service to our State and Country/Republic, not only as a former NM U.S. Representative, but now as our Governor.

God Bless you and your family.

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The U.S. national debt hit $22 trillion for the first time this week, less than a year after it first hit $21 trillion... Total government debt was $22.013 trillion on Monday, according to the Treasury Department. The exact level of debt for any given day is published on the following business day. The debt has now climbed more than $2 trillion in less than 18 months. It first hit $20 trillion in September 2017. Just a few months ago, Trump called on his Cabinet officials to cut their budgets by 5 percent in a bid to keep spending down."Our growing national debt matters because it threatens the economic future of every American," said Michael Peterson, CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation. "As we borrow trillion after trillion, interest costs will weigh on our economy and make it harder to fund important investments for our future. We already pay an average of $1 billion every day in interest on the debt, and will spend a staggering $7 trillion in interest costs over the next decade." "With deficits rising, and gross debt scheduled to increase by more than $1 trillion annually forever into the future, now is the time Congress must take action to put us on a more sustainable path," said the Campaign to Fix the Debt. "The fiscal recklessness over past years has been shocking, with few willing to step up with a real plan. We need responsible leadership to fix the debt, not a worsening of partisanship." The federal budget deficit, a major factor in the growth of the national debt, has been below $1 trillion per year for the last few years. But other factors, such as federal student loan programs and mortgage programs, have allowed the debt to climb faster than $1 trillion per year...

{theresurgent.com} ~ Congressional negotiators announced a tentative agreement in the talks to fund the government to prevent another shutdown last night... The agreement reportedly reduces the amount of funding for President Trump’s pet wall project, which leaves open the possibility that the president will refuse to sign off on the agreement. Immigration hardliners have already begun to attack the deal. The agreement reportedly includes no money for a wall, but $1.375 billion for enhancements such as steel slats for existing barriers and funding for 55 miles of new barriers, per NBC News. The new fencing would be subject to geographical restrictions on its placement. Republicans would also get $1.7 billion for other border security projects such as new technology for ports of entry, additional customs officers, humanitarian aid, and funding for more than 40,000 new beds in immigrant detention facilities. Democrats reportedly gave up their demand for a cap on the number of beds that can be used for detaining illegal immigrants. Sean Hannity immediately attacked the agreement, calling it a “garbage compromise.” “By the way, on this new so-called compromise,” Hannity said. “I’m getting details. $1.3 billion? That’s not even a wall, a barrier… We will get back into this tomorrow. Any Republican that supports this garbage compromise, you will have to explain—look at this crowd, look at the country.” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus, tweeted that Congress had created “a bad deal on immigration.” Few other prominent Republicans have spoken out publicly on the deal so far...

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday he’ll soon bring up Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal” resolution, a move designed to put Democrats on the spot on the controversial measure... “I’ve noted with great interest the Green New Deal and we are going to be voting on that in the Senate,” the Kentucky Republican said Tuesday after meeting privately with senators. “We’ll give everyone an opportunity to go on record and see how they feel about the Green New Deal.” commie-Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., along with Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., introduced the resolution last week, and it currently has 67 co-sponsors, all Democrats, in the House. There are no immediate plans to bring it up for a House vote. Instead, Democrats are waiting to see how many people sign on as co-sponsors, said House Rules Committee Chairman Jim McGovern, D-Mass. The measure has attracted considerable criticism from Republicans. It calls for a 10-year plan to drastically cut carbon emissions and to replace fossil fuel with renewable energy sources such as wind and solar in the coming decades. The resolution was accompanied by a fact sheet produced by commie-Ocasio-Cortez’s staff and posted on her congressional website that called for eliminating the need for air travel, retrofitting every house and building to green energy standards, and reforming the nation’s agricultural practices to eliminate cows...   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress/senate-will-vote-on-aocs-green-new-deal?utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_02/12/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News

{patriotnewsalerts.com} ~ Even though President Donald Trump has taken some hits recently over his military stance, the military continues to hurt terrorists where it counts... According to recent reports, the U.S. military launched a successful strike against the al-Shabab terrorist group in Somalia. On Wednesday and Thursday, several attacks were carried out and are believed to have killed more than a dozen militants.The ability of the United States to conduct these strikes without hurting civilians is remarkable. In this case, a total of 15 militants are believed to have been killed without a single innocent civilian being hit as collateral damage. However, as successful as these strikes have been, our generals have been adamant that more support from the local Somali army is going to be needed. In fact, even the former defense minister for Somalia, General Abdulkadir Ali Dini, has uttered those same sentiments...  https://www.patriotnewsalerts.com/us-military-strikes-shabab/

It’s his lowest favorability rating ever and his lowest-ever job performance as governor,” said Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg, according to the Albany Times-Union. “And it is a dramatic drop in both ratings from last month.”Greenberg noted that no one party group was responsible for the drop. “Politically, evil-Cuomo’s ratings drop is across the board, as he fell with Democrats, Republicans and independents,” Greenberg said, according to the New York Post. The poll released Monday showed 43 percent of the state’s residents approve of evil-Cuomo’s performance, a drop of eight percentage points since December. A full 50 percent of New Yorkers now view the governor unfavorably. The poll asked a separate question about how evil-Cuomo is doing as governor. Only 35 percent of respondents said he was doing “excellent” or “good.”...

Stacey Abrams Promotes the Fallacy of 
Identity Politics
zOXtKFG9s4m0h1wQoVXP4bcU0btLijf-d1xyfJmJGvUPT1nBx1t6BKyaAYfJJ1ozNC5oMJ-ow0w9UjtMkjsScgiQifuqAz0AHm9T59zoIUkJrCKWIhPAs7pVV2nGcZJ1vIrtwcnn96mmTCVB2H3pwdB6CU7HJZCJwm1RId0=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
by Political Editors:  Stacey Abrams, the loser of Georgia’s gubernatorial election and the Democrat pick to give the rebuttal  to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address last week, recently wrote an article for Foreign Affairs entitled  “Identity Politics Strengthens Democracy.” Some may ask why a long-respected policy magazine such as Foreign Affairs would provide a platform for a political loser with little academic acumen in the field of foreign policy — she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies before a career as a pseudonymous romance novelist.
 

But to ask the question reveals that one has missed the argument entirely. It reveals one to be stuck in that “old liberal” ethic that believes respect is earned rather than demanded, and that sees victims as those to be pitied and protected, not praised and emulated.

The times, they have changed. With the rise of the Left’s “intersectionality” ethos, individuals don’t merit respect with accomplishments gained through hard work, discipline, and personal sacrifice; rather, respected status is determined via an entirely new paradigm based upon where one’s communal identity falls in the hierarchical scale of “victimization.” In other words, a person’s “real” value is not found in individual accomplishments but in identity classification.

You see, Abrams provides the perfect example of how the new “accomplishment” paradigm works. She’s a black woman, which ticks off two of the largest categories on the intersectionality checklist.

Arguing in favor of identity politics, Abrams, because of her leftist equity ethos, must construct a false historical narrative replete with straw men and non-sequiturs to make the argument for the demonstrably false notion that identity politics is a good thing. She then concludes that, “By embracing identity … Americans will become more likely to grow as one.”

The truth is unity only comes when individuals who come from a myriad of different backgrounds, experiences, and challenges can all identify with a common universal set of core values and beliefs. What makes Americans be and become Americans is not our DNA, nor the color of our skin, nor our ethnic heritage, nor our gender, nor our “victim” status; it’s found in our having a shared status of equality under Rule of Law and individual Liberty and rights espoused and protected by the Constitution. That’s why Abrams’s argument is entirely flawed. She attacks the God-given core value that makes the uniquely American experiment even a possibility.  ~The Patriot Post

by personalliberty.com:   Former scumbag/liar-nObama administration ethics czar Norm Eisen has been hired by the House Judiciary Committee as it probes the Department of Justice and other aspects of the Trump administration... and seeks to shield the special counsel investigation into Russian election interference. Chairman scumbag-Jerrold Nadler of New York has said that protecting special counsel dirty cop-Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation into the 2016 election, including possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, is the committee’s No. 1 priority. Eisen has been retained on a consulting basis along with Barry Berke, a leading white-collar criminal defense attorney, as special oversight counsels to the majority Democratic staff as they conduct their inquiries into Trump’s Justice Department. “This is a critical time in our Nation’s history,” scumbag-Nadler said in a statement Tuesday. The chairman said in the statement that Trump is accused of “numerous” instances of “corruption and obstruction,” and indicated that the committee will be gathering evidence about those claims with help from Eisen and Berke...

Nation’s Sheriffs Issue Alarming Warning:

{westernjournal.com} ~ A potential congressional deal on border security funding could mean that 8,300 criminal illegal aliens are released onto the streets... according to a joint letter from two of the biggest law enforcement groups in America. According to The Daily Caller, the National Sheriffs’ Association and the Major County Sheriffs of America have come out against a rumored deal that would cap the number of detainees that Immigration and Customs Enforcement can hold at one time at 16,500. In the letter — sent to Senate Appropriations Committee chairman Sen. Richard Shelby, the Alabama Republican, and the committee’s ranking Democrat, Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont — both organizations said that there would be a threat to public safety if Congress were to “place an artificial cap on Immigration and Custom’s Enforcement’s (ICE) detention capacity.” “Capping the number of detention beds utilized by ICE not only jeopardizes the integrity of the immigration system, but would cripple ICE’s ability to detain criminal aliens and other aliens who pose a risk to public safety or are a flight risk,” the letter states. “Any legislation that reduces ICE’s detention capacity would hinder its ability to perform its national security and public safety missions, but also impact local law enforcement’s ability to protect the communities they serve. In order to meet the cap being tentatively proposed by Congress, ICE would be compelled to release thousands of aliens from custody. To achieve the 16,500 adult average detainee population (ADP) caps for the remaining 7 months of the fiscal year, a net reduction of 9,264 adults by the end of this fiscal year would be required. “Over 90 percent of ICE’s arrests are aliens who have a criminal conviction, have been arrested for a criminal, or have been previously removed. Placing a cap on ICE detention beds will undermine the efficacy of the immigration system and reduce the number of aliens who are removed from the United States.” If 90 percent of the aliens held by ICE have criminal records besides their immigration status, and 9,264 would have to be freed, that means more than 8,300 criminals would be released to potentially prey on innocent Americans, thanks to Democratic demands...  https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/nations-sheriffs-issue-alarming-warning-congress-considering-release-8300-criminal-illegals-onto-streets-report/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=conservative-brief-CT&utm_campaign=dailyam&utm_content=conservative-tribune

Unhappy with dirty cop-Mueller’s lack of
evidence against Trump, Dems seek
investigations of their own

{patriotnewsalerts.com} ~ Even Democrats are starting to turn on dirty cop-Robert Mueller. Apparently unhappy with the special counsel’s lack of evidence, California Rep. scumbag-Adam Schiff, the current chairman of the House Intelligence Committee... is now putting together his own investigation into President Donald Trump. scumbag-Schiff is a conspiracy theorist — and nothing more. For the next two years, the one thing you can count on is scumbag-Schiff wasting millions of taxpayer dollars chasing these wild accusations against President Trump. In this case, he wants to know why Trump has not been linked to money laundering. According to scumbag-Schiff, since Trump secured loans from Deutsche Bank AG, he must be guilty of money laundering. Furthermore, since dirty cop-Mueller has not tied Trump to any money laundering, scumbag-Schiff believes the attorney general’s office has been putting the clamps on dirty cop-Mueller and not allowing him to investigate this specific issue. The only thing scumbag-Schiff has to go on here is that Deutsche Bank was willing to loan money to Trump after his casinos faced financial difficulties in the 1990s, leading to several bankruptcies. Because of that, scumbag-Schiff apparently believes the Russians got their claws into him and involved Trump in a money laundering scheme...scumbag-Svhiff is fishing in the dark and he is lost.  https://www.patriotnewsalerts.com/unhappy-with-muellers-dems/ 

California governor to reduce 
National Guard presence at border

{foxnews.com} ~ California Gov. Gavin Newsom is slated to pull several hundred National Guard troops from the state’s border with Mexico on Monday in an apparent rebuff... to President Donald Trump’s characterization of the region being under siege by Central American refugees and migrants, according to reports. The move comes despite his predecessor’s agreement – along with other past and current border state governors – to send troops to the border at the Trump administration’s request. Former California Gov. Jerry Brown originally approved the mission through the end of March, but qualified that the state’s troops “will not be enforcing federal immigration laws.” Newsom’s plan will require the National Guard to immediately begin withdrawing troops but still give it until the end of March to do so. According to excerpts from his Tuesday State of the State address, he will call the “border emergency” a “manufactured crisis,” and will say that “California will not be part of this political theater.” Newsom's order will require around 110 National Guard troops to help the state prepare for its next wildfire season while another 100 members will be deployed to focus specifically on combating transnational crime, according to excerpts from his speech. A spokesman for Newsom said his office will separately request federal funds for the expansion of the state's counterdrug task force program, The Los Angeles Times reported... Newsom will paid for his mistake.  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/california-governor-to-reduce-national-guard-presence-at-border-with-mexico

{westernjournal.com} ~ Universal basic income is bound to be one of the hot topics of the 2020 campaign, given the Democrat Party’s tilt to the left over the past few years... While most of the presidential frontrunners haven’t exactly embraced the idea, entrepreneur and long-shot candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination Andrew Yang has made some very minor waves by making it one of his chief issues. However, further down the food chain, the idea retains some popularity. You don’t even have to look much further. Take Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, arguably one of the country’s three or four most famous Democrats despite the fact she’s spent a grand total of one month in office. When she released the legislation for her Green New Deal, she also released a quite frankly, disastrous FAQ detailing its benefits; one was “economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work,” which is universal basic income by any definition of the world. The FAQ was so bad that Democrats ended up scrubbing it to get a version  that would be more palatable to sane Americans. And then there are smaller-scale experiments, like one that might be about to commence in the Windy City, governed by former scumbag/liar-nObama White House chief of staff Mayor Rahm Emmanuel. “Some Chicago families could start collecting a $1,000 check every month with no strings attached. That’s the new proposal from a task force created by Mayor Emanuel,” WLS-TVreported Friday... More debt on Windy City.  https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/chicago-eyeing-handing-residents-1000-per-month-no-strings-attached/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=minutemennews&utm_campaign=dailyam&utm_content=libertyalliance

Two Years Later — A Look at Trump's Foreign Policy

by Harold Hutchison:  It’s been a little over two years since President Donald Trump took office. While much of the focus is on the various partisan fights, foreign policy has sometimes cropped up as well, often with pearl-clutching. But what is the real scoop? Let’s take a look at the run-down.

ISIS/Syria

First the good news: The Islamic State is not exactly enjoying life now. The jihadis have lost 99% of their territory. Bunches of them have been terminated. The group, which once inspired terrorist attacks across the globe, is now far more focused on just surviving.

The bad news: The long-term humanitarian crisis from the Syrian Civil War will continue as long as Bashar al-Assad is still in power. Furthermore, Trump’s pullout of over-stretched ground troops from Syria resulted in the resignation of Secretary of Defense James Mattis and rebukes from congressional Republicans. Russia will still have Assad as a client.

Overall: The fact is, Syria is a mess. ISIS will need to be watched and kept down. The real long-term solution was to dump both ISIS and the Assad regime to the ash heap of history. It rates as a job half-done.

North Korea

The good news: The regime is not launching missiles. There have been some steps toward denuclearization. The bellicose rhetoric has been toned down for the most part. There seems to be a real chance that the Korean War will formally end.

The bad news: North Korea still would be classified as a [bleep]hole country. The human-rights record remains atrocious. There are still questions about compliance with past agreements.

Overall: It remains to be seen if Trump’s approach will work, but the new approach, including a summit, seems to be showing some promising results.

Iran

The good: Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s nuclear deal with Iran is history. America is also building a close relationship with Saudi Arabia and most of the Gulf states as a regional counter-balance to Iran.

The bad: The regime is as belligerent as ever, and high-ranking officials routinely threaten Israel with genocide. Iran also has too much influence in Iraq. Missile launches continue as well. And this week marks 40 years since the revolution brought the current regime to power.

Overall: The tough line President Trump is taking can work, but this is still a pretty dangerous regime.

Israel

The good: The long-standing promise to move the American embassy to Jerusalem was finally kept on Trump’s watch. The relationship between the United States and Israel, badly wrecked by scumbag/liar-nObama, is improving. This is one place where Trump has been on target and expressing the right tone on a consistent basis.

China

The good: Trump has been standing up for American workers harmed by unfair trade practices. The U.S. Navy has also challenged Chinese claims in the South China Sea. Defusing North Korea is also removing some of China’s leverage over the United States.

The bad: While American military readiness is improving, China’s navy is rapidly expanding and improving capabilities, and the U.S. Navy isn’t getting more ships soon enough. The trade war has inflicted some damage on the United States.

Overall: The situation vis-à-vis China is improving, and while Trump has a lot to do with it, so does the Marcus Island  motherlode of rare-earth metals, which will cripple China’s leverage over the long term.

Russia

The good: President Trump has been tough on Russia. Ukraine and Georgia have been sold the FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missile. More importantly, Trump’s support of American energy production — oil and gas, in particular — has lightened Vladimir Putin’s wallet though lowering prices and by generating exports. NATO countries are stepping up to provide the defense funding long ago promised.

The bad: NATO is still nowhere near ready for a major war with Russia, given readiness issues by countries that should be bringing a lot of the power. Russia is also modernizing its military — seeking to narrow the technological gap. The United Stateshas very few forces in NATO proper.

Overall: President Trump’s conduct in office has been very bad for Russia. Putin has lost leverage in using natural gas as a weapon against Eastern Europe, and NATO is starting to step up more.

Elsewhere

The good: Venezuela’s people could see an end to the Chavez-Maduro regime. Canada and Mexico have signed on to a revised version of NAFTA that may help American workers. More importantly, Trump’s trade policy is bringing manufacturing back.

The bad: Trump’s verbal smackdowns can alienate allies. Turkey is still in the grip of the increasingly dictatorial Erdogan. Afghanistan is a stalemate, and the only real talking that should be done with the Taliban should be with bombs, guns, and missiles. Yemen is a mess, but we can’t let Iranian stooges who took potshots at a U.S. Navy ship get control of that country.

Overall: Like all administrations, this is a mixed bag, but Trump still brings mostly positives.

The Big Picture

In two years, Trump has managed to clean up a lot of the messes scumbag/liar-nObama made with a shift in attitude. In addition, he has managed to hobble Russia’s biggest source of hard currency with energy exports. A lucky find has given an American ally new leverage against China. After scumbag/liar-nObama threw away much of the progress George W. Bush made in the Global War on Terror, Trump has America making headway again. All in all, Trump has had a mostly successful two years on the foreign policy front.  ~The Patriot Post
