Chair of Intel Committee Beats dirty cop-Mueller

{westernjournal.com} ~ Well, here’s a good sign that our money used to investigate Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and its connections to those perfidious Kremlinites has been well-spent... The chairman of the Senate Intelligence  Committee says that when it comes to collusion with the Russians, they “don’t have anything” on the president. In an interview with CBS News, Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., chairman of the committee, said the panel is “close to pushing out the door” a report detailing the scumbag/liar-nObama administration’s response to Russian interference in the election. In the interview, published Thursday, the senator said the report would be out in “a matter of weeks.” However, he predicted in August that the report would be out in September. “I’m not going to tell you that what we set out to do — which was to understand what happened in ’16 — is what’s extended the life of the investigation,” Burr said. “I think it’s a better understanding of what happened and how coordinated and organized the effort was.” And from the sound of things, the committee has found significant election interference. What it hasn’t found, however, is that rascally Russian 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,” Burr said. In a Fox News  appearance back in September, Burr had already said that the committee had found no “hard evidence” of such collusion. In the interview with CBS News, he said that assessment was “accurate with everything we’ve accumulated since then.”...

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein spiraled into rage and paranoia after President Trump ordered him to write the memo he cited as justification to fire FBI Director scumbag-James Comey... in May 2017, according to a new book. In a private meeting at the Justice Department days after scumbag-Comey was fired on May 12, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe writes in his upcoming memoir Rosenstein was "glassy-eyed" and said he was sleep deprived after he came to the conclusion that the White House had used him. “He said it wasn’t his idea. The president had ordered him to write the memo justifying the firing,” McCabe writes. Rosenstein also said, “There’s no one here that I can trust."A DOJ spokesperson declined to comment to the Washington Examiner on McCabe's claims about the deputy attorney general. Less than a week later, Rosenstein appointed special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller to take over the investigation looking into Russian election interference and possible collusion between with Trump campaign and the Kremlin. dirty cop-Mueller is reportedly investigating whether Trump attempted to obstruct justice by firing  scumbag-Comey. Although Trump initially said scumbag-Comey was fired per the suggestion of then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Rosenstein, he said shortly thereafter the “Russia thing” was a factor...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/mccabe-sleep-deprived-rosenstein-fretted-about-trust-crisis-after-trump-used-his-memo-to-justify-firing-comey?utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_02/08/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief

Leftism - Not Just Wrong, But Evil

{frontpagemag.com} ~ Conservative commentator Dennis Prager once made an insightful distinction between the political left and right. The right, he noted... generally sees the left as wrong but not evil, whereas the left sees the right not merely as wrong but as evil. This was a valid assessment once upon a time, but as the left has increasingly exposed itself in the Trump era as rabidly illiberal, irrational, and immoral, it is time for the right to acknowledge that the left is not merely wrong, but evil. What is evil? Let us set theological explanations aside for the moment and settle on a practical definition upon which most can agree: if cruelty means the willful disregard for human suffering, even taking pleasure in inflicting suffering on others, then evil is profound cruelty. It is a malevolence so dark and bottomless that ordinary people cannot fathom it. Psychologists may prefer less highly-charged terms to describe people who commit unconscionable acts, but evil is as evil does, and what leftism has done over and over again throughout history and around the world is provide a worldview which justifies perpetrating unimaginable horrors on untold numbers of victims. To be clear: evil is hardly the sole domain of the left. It can inhabit individuals of any color, sex, political persuasion, or religious belief. But as an ideology, Progressivism – the rebranding of Communism – embraces totalitarianism and absolute statist control, which always and everywhere leads to misery, corruption, and brutality, and never elevates humanity. Can anyone look objectively at the ghastly devastation wrought by Communism in the 20th century – the gulags and the mass starvation, the torture and executions, the existential fear and hopelessness, the tens of millions dead and countless more lives destroyed – and not conclude that leftism is an ideology of evil? Add to that its unholy alliance with fundamentalist Islam today to subvert the whole of Western civilization, and there can be no doubt...  https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/272805/leftism-not-just-wrong-evil-mark-tapson

New Policy Prevents Pennsylvania 
Police From Arresting Illegals

{steadfastandloyal.com} ~ Pennsylvania has set down an entirely new set of rules for dealing with possible illegal aliens in the state that like other sanctuary states could give criminal illegal aliens a second or third chance... to harm residents of the state.  When will Americans get tired of being third class citizens in their own country? The state claims the new policy is the result of pro-immigration groups accusing police of racial profiling. They will not even be allowed to ask for identification unless they are citing or arresting someone. But, will that apply to everyone or just not to suspected illegals? If a Pennsylvania state trooper pulls a car over for a traffic violation, that officer can no longer ask for identification solely to check on the suspect’s immigration status. In fact, troopers are barred from arresting any foreign national for simply being an illegal immigrant. If a trooper does arrest an immigrant, law enforcement is required to inform the suspect of their right to contact the consulate of their home government. Troopers must also now file a comprehensive report about any interaction they have with an immigrant, detailing the reasons for their interaction or detention. The rule is meant to track any patterns of racial profiling by the officer... This is a stupid law.

Charlie Daniels Calls Out Leftist Hypocrisy

Women, Except Fairfax Accuser

{westernjournal.com} ~ Country music legend Charlie Daniels slammed Democratic women for wearing white to Tuesday night’s State of the Union address... to show support for women while their party is noticeably silent about a high-profile sexual assault accusation against Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax. And he didn’t mince words. “Democrat women are wearing white to the State of the Union address to signify support for ALL women Except for the one who is accusing Lt Governor Fairfax of sexual harassment,” Daniels tweeted Tuesday night. Many female Democratic members of Congress, including far-left Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, wore white as a way to show solidarity on “women’s issues,” according to CNN. And while white was the color of the suffragette movement that won the right to vote for women in 1920, Democrats made it clear that the white on Tuesday applied went much further than gaining women the franchise a century ago...

Dems Ramp Up 'Ridiculous Partisan Investigations'

by Nate Jackson:  “An economic miracle is taking place in the United States — and the only things that can stop it are foolish wars, politics, or ridiculous partisan investigations,” Donald Trump declared in his State of the Union Address Tuesday night. House Speaker Nancy Pulosi defiantly responded, “It was a threat. It was an all-out threat. The president should not bring threats to the floor of the House. He said he wasn’t going to cooperate unless we didn’t exercise our constitutional responsibility to oversight.” Cry us a river.

The Democrats’ strategy since Trump’s surprising election win has been to hamstring him with investigations. That’s what the dirty cop-Mueller/scumbag-Comey/scumbag/liar-Clinton collusion is all about. And as we’ve asserted before, a recession that boosts Demo chances in 2020 would be a cherry on top for them.

Democrats wasted no time after the SOTU. On Wednesday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman scumbag-Adam Schiff launched a new probe into the president’s foreign business relationships and if those are affecting U.S. foreign policy. “He has no basis to do that,” Trump retorted. “He’s just a political hack who’s trying to build a name for himself. It’s just presidential harassment and it’s unfortunate and it really does hurt our country.” The Hill also reports, “The House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday voted to give special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller transcripts from dozens of witness interviews from the panel’s Russia probe.”

Meanwhile, on the House Ways and Means subcommittee docket today: examining the disclosure of presidential tax returns — a move clearly meant as a shot across the bow for Trump’s decision to withhold his own returns.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck scumbag-Schumer taunted the president, saying, “He’s scared. He’s got something to hide. Because if he had nothing to hide he’d just shrug his shoulders and let these investigations go forward.”

Memo to scumbag-Schumer: Pointing out that investigations are a political witch hunt — which these are — is a lot different than obstructing those investigations. Trump has done nothing to stop the process; he’s merely exposed the partisan hackery of it all.  ~The Patriot Post

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked a Louisiana abortion law from taking effect in a split 5-4 vote... Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court's liberal wing in putting enforcement of the Louisiana law on hold. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh said they would have denied the stay application, allowing the law to take effect. The case marked the first time the Supreme Court has taken action on a case dealing with abortion since Kavanaugh, who replaced Justice Anthony Kennedy, joined the high court in October.The Louisiana law requires doctors who provide abortions to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. If it ultimately goes into effect, two of Louisiana's three abortion clinics are expected to close because they would not be able to meet the requirement. In a dissent, Kavanaugh said the case "largely turns" on whether Louisiana's three doctors who provide abortions can obtain the necessary admitting privileges during a 45-day regulatory transition period. The plaintiffs then could bring a challenge to the law if the doctors were unable to obtain admitting privileges at the end of that period, Kavanaugh wrote. Jeff Landry, Louisiana's attorney general, said in a statement he is hopeful the Supreme Court agrees to hear the case on the merits of the law and argued the state's abortion restrictions are "constitutional and consistent with our overall regulatory scheme for surgical procedures."...

{americanthinker.com} ~ An hour before Pres. Donald Trump's State of the Union Address, I opened my mail. It included a thank-you note regarding a contribution I had made to a right-wing organization... The author of the note quoted Nikita Khrushchev, who said, "You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you finally wake up and find you already have communism." The author of the thank-you note was revolted by this remark by N.K. and knew I would be as well. I grew up during the Cold War and understood that communism was not merely an alternative theory of politics and economics to that held by most Americans, but was a living and breathing threat to our freedom emanating 24-7 from the USSR, the PRC, and a determined fifth column of traitorous leftists living in these United States. Our conflict with communism was not a mere academic or drawing room debate between gentleman-scholars. Rather, the ardent supporters of communism wished to extract the essence of our freedom and opportunities from our society.  In the name of curbing the rich, they wish to curb us all, grab power, assert governmental force over every area of our lives, and make themselves arbiters of every life decision we make – where we live, what kind of work each of us does, where and when we can and cannot travel, how to heat our homes or even build our homes, where to go to school, how many children to have, how long we live and under what conditions we live, and even the thoughts we think. Almost all that we now consider "private" they would refashion and reconfigure to be seen as "public." Our individual rights would be subsumed under collective rights...

{thefederalist.com} ~ A number of Democratic Party presidential hopefuls — including scumbag-Cory Booker, lowlife-Kamala Harris, Elizabeth dinky-Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, Julián Castro, and Beto O’Rourke, for starters... have already endorsed or expressed support for the “Green New Deal” (GND). Today, Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Edward J. Markey dropped details about her plan.  It is not hyperbole to contend that GND is likely the most ridiculous and un-American plan that’s ever been presented by an elected official to voters. Not merely because it would necessitate a communist strongman to institute, but also because the societal costs are unfathomable. The risible historic analogies Markey and commie-Ocasio-Cortez rely on, the building of the interstate highway system or moon landing, are nothing but trifling projects compared to a plan that overhauls modernity by voluntarily destroying massive amounts of wealth and technology. That is the GND. While some of the specifics need to be ironed out, the plan’s authors assure us that this “massive transformation of our society” needs some “clear goals and a timeline.” The timeline is ten years. Here are some of the goals: Ban affordable energy. GND calls for the elimination of all fossil fuel energy production, the lifeblood of American industry and life, which includes not only all oil but also natural gas — one of the cheapest sources of American energy, and one of the reasons the United States has been able to lead the world in carbon-emissions reduction...

U.S. Government and Private Industry Must Prepare for
Cyber-Enabled Economic Warfare Escalations

by fdd.org:   In October 2018, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and The Chertoff Group conducted a cyber-enabled economic warfare (CEEW) tabletop exercise with former senior government officials and private sector leaders... The purpose of the exercise was to identify points of alignment and divergence between what the private sector and government may want, need, and demand from each other in the immediate aftermath of a major cyber incident. The CEEW exercise simulated a massive cyberattack affecting various U.S. lifeline sectors at the same time that the U.S. military was deploying substantial forces to an overseas theater due to a geopolitical standoff with a peer adversary. As military tensions escalated, the cyber attacks did as well. There were cascading impacts on critical and consumer infrastructure, degrading military capabilities and stoking public fear that access to food, health care, and bank accounts could be jeopardized. In addition to examining areas of alignment and divergence, the exercise also analyzed decision-making authorities and processes, resilience capabilities, and information-sharing mechanisms. The most important finding from the discussion is that unless government and private sector decision makers begin developing CEEW-specific procedures and trust now, the United States will find itself flat-footed during a major cyber event. It is tempting to say that defenses against state actors should simply be left to the U.S. government, but this ignores the very real business disruption and follow-on public panic that can occur in cyber-enabled economic warfare attacks. Banks, logistics firms, and even consumer goods manufacturers are obvious targets...

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ "What are our national security interests in Venezuela?" Adam Smith, the Washington Democrat who chairs the House Armed Services Committee, asked... Erin Burnett on January 29 during her CNN primetime show. "The idea that we're going to go in and do battle in Venezuela over who should be running that country, I don't see a single U.S. national security argument for doing that." Not a single interest, Chairman Smith? In December, two Russian Tu-160 Blackjacks landed  near Caracas. The Mach 2, nuclear-capable bombers can launch cruise missiles with a range of 3,410 miles, putting the U.S. homeland at risk from the airspace over Venezuela. The Blackjack bombers also buzzed America's West Coast as they left the region last month. Representative Smith charged  President Trump with making Venezuela policy "on whims and fantasies and no reality behind it." On the contrary, Trump policy is based on the reality that the U.S. must be involved in the resolution of the Venezuelan crisis and not on the whims or fantasies that bad actors on their own will produce constructive solutions. Unfortunately, there is no shortage of misguided ideas when it comes to Venezuela. Tony Blinken, for instance, deputy secretary of state in the scumbag/liar-nObama administration, told Kate Bolduan on her CNN show on January 28 that Washington should bring China and Russia into discussions about the crisis. Why, you may ask, is this a less-than-brilliant idea?...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/13700/venezuela-china-russia

by Political Editors:  Lower federal courts have issued injunctions blocking President Donald Trump’s executive actions a record 30 times. “That number,” The Daily Signal reports, matches “the total for the first 42 of the 45 presidents so far in American history.” We knew judicial activism was a problem, but that’s astounding.

The majority of the injunctions, the Signal explains, were “against Trump administration policies providing extreme vetting of immigrants from countries deemed to be failed states; denying funding to sanctuary cities that won’t cooperate with federal law enforcement on immigration law; and tightening the asylum process for illegal immigrants, among other issues.” In other words, policies that aren’t exactly conventional.

To make matters worse, these injunctions weren’t merely regional in scope but national. Not surprisingly, the source for most of the injunctions came from judges sitting on some the country’s most left-leaning courts, such as the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Prior to 1963, no lower court had ever issued national injunctions, and it wasn’t until the 1980s that nationwide injunctions began to become more common.

In fact, Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s Justice Department pushed back against the practice, arguing, “A trial court abuses its discretion by fashioning an injunction, which is overly broad.” And last year, House Republicans proposed the Injunctive Authority Clarification Act, which would have put limits on nationwide injunctions, confining the rulings for the most part to the district over which the court presides, but it was never voted on.

Back in 2016, Justice Samuel Alito noted the obvious problem with lower courts being empowered to issue nationwide injunctions, writing that it “invites the loser to seek to obtain in court what they could not achieve in the political arena.” Precisely. What we have witnessed through the first two years of Trump’s presidency attests to the reality of this problem.

Michael Morley, an assistant professor at Florida State University College of Law, points out, “All it take is a single litigant anywhere in the nation to win one time, and then they are able to obtain effectively nationwide relief enforcing the rights of all people throughout the nation. So, you have a fundamental asymmetry where the government has to win everywhere, whereas to have a policy or a regulation or an order invalidated, a challenger only has to win once.”

One thing is certain — the more lower courts continue to issue nationwide injunctions against Trump, the more the pressure grows for legislation to be passed that prevents this abuse.  ~The Patriot Post

{dailycaller.com} ~ House Democrats pushed legislation during a hearing Thursday that would require presidents and presidential candidates to release tax returns... in order to get President Donald Trump’s tax returns. “We have been called, we have been chosen to lead at this time in our history …” Democratic Georgia Rep. scumbag-John Lewis said in opening remarks at the hearing. “We will review whether a president, vice president or any candidate for these offices should be required by law to make their tax returns available to the public. In other words, we will ask the question: Does the public need to know that a person holding the highest office in our country obeys the tax laws?” scumbag-Lewis is the chair of the oversight subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee, which held the hearing — its first on the subject of presidential tax returns. The presidential tax return legislation House Democrats want is part of a 571-page election reform bill, the “For the People Act,” also known as House Resolution 1... Its none of my business to know the Presidents tax return. Just as well as yours scumbag-Lewis.

{foxnews.com} ~ Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker stunned onlookers and lawmakers during an already-contentious House hearing Friday... when he tried to call time on the Democratic chairman after yet another line of questioning regarding Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's Russia probe. The retort came after Chairman scumbag-Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., first said he wanted Whitaker to appear for a private deposition after the hearing and went on to ask Whitaker whether he had been “asked to approve any requests or action” for the special counsel. “Mr. Chairman, I see that your five minutes is up, so…” Whitaker replied as the hearing room broke out in gasps. “I am here voluntarily. We have agreed to five-minute rounds.” scumbag-Nadler, who even cracked a slight smile at the response, repeated his question, and Whitaker ultimately responded: “I have not interfered in any way with the special counsel’s investigation.” The fiery back and forth follows a dramatic political prelude to the hearing itself, complete with threats by scumbag-Nadler to subpoena the witness and threats by the DOJ to boycott. Democrats are acutely focused on Whitaker's oversight of the dirty cop-Mueller probe, in his acting AG status while awaiting confirmation of President Trump's attorney general pick William Barr...  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hearing-for-acting-ag-whitaker-erupts-in-fireworks-as-top-republican-alleges-character-assassination

The Law Will Be on Trump’s Side If He 
Declares an Emergency to Fund His Wall

{nationalreview.com} ~ It seems increasingly likely that President Trump will declare a national emergency at our southern border in order to access funds to build a wall... Last week, I had the pleasure of debating National Review’s very own David French on the legality of such a move in a Federalist Society-sponsored tele-conference. I wanted to take the opportunity to further explain my defense of Trump’s legal authority in response to David’s excellent points.  David and I agree that Congress has not placed any serious limits on the president’s power to declare an emergency and that the Supreme Court was unlikely to second-guess him. For much of our history, presidents have understood the Constitution’s grant of “the executive power” to include a power to declare national emergency. Thomas Jefferson effectively did so in response to Aaron Burr’s effort to raise a rebellion in Louisiana; Abraham Lincoln did so, with far more justification, at the start of the Civil War; FDR did so, with far less justification, at the start of his presidency in response to the Great Depression; and Harry Truman did so at the start of the Korean War. In 1976, Congress enacted the National Emergency Act in its burst of post-Watergate reforms designed to restrict presidential power. While the new law terminated most existing emergencies, it did not set out any definition of a national emergency or limit the president’s ability to declare one. The law only sets out the process for publication and congressional notification of the president’s declaration. So David and I agree that there are few limits on the president’s ability to declare an emergency for good reason. Indeed, every president since 1976 has used the NEA to declare a national emergency, several under circumstances far less immediate than this one, and the Supreme Court has never overturned one.  But David and I disagree on a broad conceptual question. I think he, and other prominent critics, view Trump’s apparently impending declaration through the lens of Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer (1952). In Youngstown, the Supreme Court reversed President Truman’s seizure of the nation’s steel mills, which a broad labor strike had closed. President Truman argued that steel was critical to the production of armaments needed for the Korean War. Writing for a 6–3 majority, Justice Hugo Black concluded that taking possession of private property — here, the steel mills — was a legislative function of government vested in Congress, not the president. Since Congress had rejected amendments to the federal labor laws that would have granted the executive such a power, Black concluded, Truman was without constitutional or statutory authority to seize the mills. According to David, a Trump declaration of emergency would amount to a similar act without legal authority...  https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/02/trump-border-wall-emergency-declaration-legal-likely-upheld/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWkRNeU0yWmpNR1l6TkRKbSIsInQiOiJ1WmlUMmM4VHdEcWhqeVNjT25GenZzbWVsZ290TzQ1Z1JGSlJcL2VjYUZcL1ZaQzBCRlFITnRJVnBqYTZuVDNJVnFhZVUxb1RKVkg3NHNWMkhEOTZqWEFSSDJjMzF3ZEJZVXRhY1dxXC9vNlloOFNPNm40R1VlRHZtWEl3NXBpYUR0ZCJ9

{dailycaller.com} ~ Democratic senators who condemned Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct allegations refused... to acknowledge the sexual assault allegations that have emerged against Virginia Democratic Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax when asked by The Daily Caller News Foundation Thursday. When asked if the same standard should be applied to Fairfax, a Democrat, as it was applied to Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings, the five Democratic senators asked, who all opposed Kavanaugh’s confirmation due to the allegations, all dodged the question or acted like they had not heard about it, despite the fact it has been major national news for nearly a week. California Democratic Sen. Dianne Fein-stein, who is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and helped Kavanaugh’s accuser hire a legal team, told TheDCNF, “I don’t know Justin Fairfax.” When asked if the two should be compared she said, “No,” adding, “It’s really up to people in the area.” Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine told reporters on Capitol Hill Thursday that they “don’t have an investigation” into the accusations made by Fairfax’s accuser, Dr. Vanessa Tyson...Fein-stein and scumbag-Kaine are dodging the question.

{freebeacon.com} ~ The commander of the Southern Command said Thursday Venezuela's military and Cuban security personnel in the country are the "center of gravity" in the crisis... between competing governments in the capital city of Caracas. Adm. Craig S. Faller, the Southcom commander, also testified to the Senate Armed Services Committee, that the U.S. military is prepared to use force to protect Americans in Venezuela. "We are prepared to protect U.S. personnel and diplomatic facilities, if necessary," he said. The Trump administration has warned of unspecified "grave consequences"—including possible U.S. military intervention—if Maduro's forces resort to widespread violence against the pro-democracy opposition. A major concern is the large numbers of Cuban military and intelligence personnel providing security for Venezuela's embattled leftist leader Nicolas Maduro. Maduro, a supporter of communist-ruled Cuba, is fighting to remain in power after the United States and several regional and international states shifted official recognition from his regime to parliamentary leader Juan Guaido, who declared himself acting president of Venezuela...

Virginia Dem Scandal Spirals
kbcMNn__jEoc3EJoV9i6ddOYYXVMlCslftd19NjICrEjzu5evpK-i7stDgno4fTqwMUeac3Nrt1Mh1VR40DdK3H0qRanywsdAL8wmSeT45tzo377617uOiAZ8ipdnMHBoHYEa1ue0hMK0p4JKDqLAQRMFawkdZqIU86cLBc=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
by Thomas Gallatin:  It’s a tough time to be a Democrat in Virginia. For the rest of the country, it’s been like watching an episode of “House of Cards,” only this is no fictional TV show. Wednesday provided the latest twist in what can only be described as a slow-motion political train wreck.

Following the initial revelation of Gov. Ralph Northam’s racist 1984 yearbook photograph and that in another yearbook he was known by the nickname “Coonman,” Democrats across the country were quick to call for his resignation. Many assumed Democrats were in the perfect position to prove their party’s commitment to “social justice.” However, almost immediately following Northam’s controversy, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax found himself knee-deep in his own scandal, this time over allegations of sexual assault. His accuser has released a detailed statement of her accusations. Suddenly, with Virginia’s top two Democrats facing growing pressure to resign, the question of succession was raised. According to the Commonwealth’s Constitution, should both Northam and Fairfax resign, the office of the governorship would fall to Democrat Attorney General Mark Herring.

For Democrats, should that worst-case scenario unfold, it would be painful, but at least a Republican wouldn’t take over. Or at least that was the thinking until Wednesday afternoon, when AG Herring admitted that he too had dressed in blackface once in 1980 when he was in college. Cue the outrage posse.

Suddenly, Virginia’s top three Democrats are all damaged goods — two racists and a sex offender. Ironically, one of the Democrats who had called for Northam’s resignation was none other than Herring, who stated on Saturday, “It is no longer possible for Governor Northam to lead our Commonwealth and it is time for him to step down. I have spoken with Lieutenant Governor Fairfax and assured him that, should he ascend to the governorship, he will have my complete support and commitment to ensuring his success and the success of our Commonwealth." So, if Herring does not resign for the same "crime,” would he not be outing himself as a total hypocrite and political opportunist?

And, to rub a little salt in the Democrats’ wound, guess who’s in line for the governorship should all three Democrats resign — Virginia House Speaker Kirk Cox, a Republican.

National Review’s Jim Geraghty writes, “One under-discussed aspect of these revelations is that for once, we know that it’s unlikely that they’re being leaked by Republicans; if the GOP had this information, they would have used it during the 2017 campaigns. No, what’s much more likely is that Northam, Fairfax, and Herring or allies of the three men are leaking them against each other. Virginia’s term limit for governors means that the state is never more than four years away from an open seatand, considering the state’s rapidly changing demographics, if you win the Democratic nomination, the odds are no worse than 50-50 that you win. There are a lot of ambitious Virginia Democrats with sharp elbows.”

Finally, Mark Alexander observes, “I think Demos are regretting jumping on the resignation bandwagon because there are very likely other stupid yearbook photos, fraternity pranks, etc., in many backgrounds. The issue with the two blackface cases versus sexual assault are very different, and Northam’s fumbling story change compounds his problems, but the point is that just about everyone out there has stupid stuff in their past. Will the category of offense be widened from just the Demo favorites of race and #MeToo?”  ~The Patriot Post

{freebeacon.com} ~ February 2019 is turning out to be a critical month in the presidency of Donald Trump. It may be the critical month. The midterm elections and record-long government shutdown are behind him... By delivering an optimistic and inspiring State of the Union address, Trump effectively reset his presidency and framed his opposition as beyond the American mainstream. But three tests await him: on Congress, on North Korea, and on China. How he handles these challenges will say a lot about his chances of reelection. The president suffered a double blow in recent months. The loss of the House of Representatives undermined his reputation as Teflon Don. The significance of increasing the Republican margin in the Senate and maintaining control of key governorships in Florida, Ohio, and Iowa faded after Election Day, as Democrats picked up House seat after House seat. The damage compounded on December 11 when Trump met with Nancy Pulosi and Chuck scumbag-Schumer in the Oval Office and preemptively took credit for a government shutdown if Congress, then under Republican control, didn't vote for additional wall funds. When the government shutdown began on December 22, voters knew exactly whom to hold responsible. Trump's job disapproval spiked. I mistakenly thought Trump's leverage would increase as the shutdown dragged on. Instead Pulosi held her caucus together, his numbers continued to fall, and Republican senators began to defect. By the time the FAA halted flights at three important airports in the Northeast, Trump's hand had disappeared. He agreed to reopen the government with no wall money until February 15. Pulosi won this round. But she also made an error: delaying the State of the Union until after the government reopened. Maybe it seemed like a clever move at the time. However, by eventually agreeing to her demand, Trump was allowed to deliver his annual address after the fallout from the shutdown had dissipated. Had he given the speech in the midst of furloughs, the content would have been lost amongst stories of hard-hit public employees. Pulosi inadvertently delivered Trump the blank slate on which he could write the next chapter of his administration...  https://freebeacon.com/columns/trumps-three-tests/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=1c19b2ac0d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_02_07_09_51_COPY_152&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-1c19b2ac0d-45611665

{dailysignal.com} ~ President Donald Trump does have the authority to declare a national emergency in order to build his promised border barrier between the United States and Mexico if gridlock in Congress makes it necessary... a Republican lawmaker says. “He has the authority, and it’s not unique,”  Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., said Wednesday at Conversations with Conservatives, a monthly press question-and-answer session hosted by conservative lawmakers and The Heritage Foundation. “We know that, for instance, there have been almost 60 emergency declarations in the last 25 to 30 years. There have almost been 60 emergency declarations by presidents, and I think the number is 30-some-odd that are still enforced.” On Jan. 25, Trump signed stopgap budget legislation funding the government through Feb. 15, ending the 35-day partial federal government shutdown stemming from Democrats’ refusal to appropriate the $5.7 billion Trump requested for a barrier along the southern border. Trump didn’t raise the prospect of declaring a national emergency in order to secure funding for the border wall in his State of the Union address Tuesday night, but Biggs said that option, though not his first choice, is still on the table...  https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/02/06/trump-has-authority-to-declare-emergency-for-border-wall-arizona-lawmaker-says/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell%22&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiT1dZeU5UZ3dNR1ZrWkRoaCIsInQiOiJVblczcVwvMzFVMGJVNEp6RWhXTjJmc2RLME1hVWhFNlA2YWE5TFU3XC9vWDZkYk9panRIaE1Kb1pnZjFhd0FtWHVmRHRWTE0xNDlNNHpXbzA1UXlTMEZpeXVJbmhvbWk0SURXTzFpMGdzUnUxMVhKTytRcWhLT0FyQkhVOUgxRWwxIn0%3D

Venezuela: Replacing Brutal Socialist 
With More Socialism?

{thenewamerican.com} ~ While freedom lovers everywhere expressed delight at the ongoing implosion of the brutal Maduro regime oppressing the people of Venezuela... concerns about the foreign-backed interim president’s own socialist pedigree are growing within the nation and beyond. Especially alarming to non-interventionists is the prospect of U.S. government intervention in the Venezuelan struggle between opposing socialist camps. Granted, Interim Venezuelan President Juan Guaidó is, by all accounts, much more moderate in his socialism than the barbaric Maduro-Chávez regime. But Guaidó’s political party, known as “Popular Will,” is nevertheless a leftist member of the Socialist International, the largest and most powerful alliance of socialist and communist political parties in the world. This dangerous   network has openly called for a global socialist government. And its members include parties with the blood of millions on their hands. Of course, claims by dictators, communists, and socialists around the world that Guaidó is illegitimate appear to be unfounded. Some of the claims have been downright absurd, such as a remark by Muslim U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar claiming that the Trump administration was attempting to “install a far right opposition.” In reality, the democratically elected National Assembly, in accordance with Venezuela’s Constitution, declared dictator Maduro a “usurper” and demanded his removal. The Trump administration and governments around the world accepted the elected legislature’s decision and recognized Guaidó as interim leader while fresh elections are prepared. While the consensus virtually everywhere is that Guaidó and free elections would be a massive improvement over the status quo, Guaidó’s affinity for the socialism that wrecked his nation has caused concerns among freedom fighters in Venezuela and beyond. Domestically, the anti-communist opposition, which has long been brutally suppressed by the regime, is divided on whether Guaidó can be trusted. One major sticking point among critics is the allegation that Guaidó and his party are too closely linked to Maduro — especially ideologically...

Has Turkish President Erdoğan Distanced 
Himself from the Muslim Brotherhood?

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The picture sent shockwaves through Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's grassroots... A poor Egyptian member of the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan in Arabic) handcuffed by the Turkish police, put aboard a Turkish Airlines plane to fly back to Cairo, to be tortured and eventually executed. Is President Erdoğan not a staunch supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood? Is he not an eternal enemy of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who came to power after toppling the Ikhwan man, former president Mohamed Morsi, a darling of Erdoğan? Did Erdoğan not freeze diplomatic relations with el-Sisi's Egypt? In August 2013, about a month after el-Sisi toppled Morsi, Erdoğan appeared on television. In an unusually soft voice he read a letter written by the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed al-Beltagy to his daughter Asmaa, a 17-year-old girl who had been killed in Cairo when security forces stormed two protest camps occupied by supporters of the deposed president, Morsi. Poor Asmaa was shot in the back and chest. "I believe you have been loyal to your commitment to God, and He has been to you," Asmaa's father wrote in the letter. "Otherwise, He would not have called you to His presence before me." You could see Erdoğan's tears. In later days, Asmaa became another symbol of Turkish Islamists; Erdoğan cheered party fans with the four-finger Rabia sign, a reference to his solidarity with the Muslim Brotherhood, and a sign of his endearment to the unfortunate girl. El-Sisi ran for president and won the elections, which Erdoğan then declared "null and void." Erdoğan vowed never to recognize the regime that seemed to have come to power in Egypt through a coup, and called el-Sisi "an illegitimate tyrant" and a "coup-maker"...

Social 'Justice' Is Unforgiving

by Culture Beat:  The “new morality” of the Left has little room for mercy and none for forgiveness. Any indiscretion of its hallowed and ever-evolving “morality,” no matter how far back in the past it may have occurred, is met only with howls of rage by a “woke” mob demanding its pound of flesh. This new morality finds no virtue in honesty or the self-disclosure of one’s past “indiscretions”; instead, any wrong-think is greeted by demands that the individual be destroyed as a lesson to anyone else, lest they dare venture outside the realm of leftist dogma.

Case in point: The recent admission by actor Liam Neeson that he once entertained racist animosity in his past when he learned that a family member had been raped by a black man. Neeson explained, “I went up and down areas with a cosh [billy club], hoping I’d be approached by somebody — I’m ashamed to say that — and I did it for maybe a week, hoping some [in air quotes] ‘black bastard’ would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know? So that I could … kill him.”

Neeson also expressed remorse and regret for his racist thoughts and actions: “It was horrible, horrible, when I think back, that I did that. And I’ve never admitted that, and I’m saying it to a journalist. God forbid. It’s awful. But I did learn a lesson from it, when I eventually thought, ‘What the f— are you doing,’ you know?”

Instead of receiving commendations for being honest about the ugliness of his past racist thoughts — and expressing sorrow for it — social media instead piled on Neeson for being a racist. It is the “unforgivable” sin, after all. There was no consideration for Neeson expressing that he used to think one way and saw the error of it and changed. Nope, it’s too late — once a racist, always a racist.

And this same judgmental mindset is being applied across all intersectional “victim” classes. For example, this year’s Academy Awards show will be host-less after actor and comedian Kevin Hart stepped down from hosting following blowback he received over disparaging comments he had made about homosexuality in the past. Hart noted that he had repeatedly apologized for his past comments, writing, “if u want to search my history or past and anger yourselves with what u find that is fine with me. I’m almost 40 years old and I’m in love with the man that I am becoming. If you want to hold people in a position where they always have to justify or explain their past then… I’m the wrong guy, man.”

As are millions upon millions of Americans. Nothing less than perpetual apologizing and groveling will be accepted by the “social justice warriors” — and even then one’s past cannot be truly forgiven.

by Media Editors:  On Feb. 15, another partial government shutdown will commence if a budget deal remains elusive. According to ABC News, “The 17-member committee charged with hashing out a border security deal in order to avert another government shutdown in seven days is inching closer to a deal.” However, that does not mean President Trump will accept the compromise if it’s absent funding for a border barrier. If he doesn’t, declaring a national emergency is even more likely.

A Louisiana abortion law that imposed regulations on abortion clinics found disfavor with Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. “Roberts joined the Supreme Court’s liberal wing on Thursday in temporarily blocking a Louisiana law that would have placed restrictions on abortion clinics,” says Fox News. Strangely, “The Louisiana law is virtually identical to a Texas measure the justices struck down three years ago by a 5-3 vote, shortly after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. Roberts dissented in that case, when he was not the deciding vote, and sided with the conservative minority that wanted to uphold the anti-abortion law — making his decision on Thursday a significant reversal.” Is John “scumbag/liar-nObamaCare Is a Tax” Roberts once again playing politics?
.
“House Democrats have twice refused now to take up the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act for consideration. The measure is ‘designed to ensure any infant born alive after an abortion receives the same protection of law as any newborn: mandating care and instituting penalties for doctors who allow such infants to die or who intentionally kill a newborn,’ according to a statement from the office of its sponsor Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO).” (Townhall)
.
Meanwhile, “Massachusetts Democrats have taken a page from New York’s radical left and are pushing a bill to legalize abortion at any time during the pregnancy,” Townhall also reports. “The bill … would get rid of the ‘grave impairment’ language so that an abortion could take place after 24 weeks if the pregnancy risks ‘her physical or mental health, or in cases of lethal fetal anomalies, or where the fetus is incompatible with sustained life outside the womb.’” Of course, “physical or mental health” is an ambiguous term intended to permit abortion on demand.
.
On Tuesday, Sen. Amy Klobuchar intimated, “I’m making a big announcement on Sunday.” But according to The Daily Signal, Klobuchar’s intention “to announce a possible presidential campaign this weekend … may have to wait after a report emerged Wednesday night alleging Klobuchar is cruel and potentially abusive to her staff.” At least three campaign-manager prospects have reportedly backed out, all of whom cited the senator’s propensity for belligerent behavior.
.
End of an era: “Former Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., the longest-serving member of Congress who played a key role in many pieces of landmark legislation, has died. He was 92. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year. ‘Congressman Dingell died peacefully [Thursday] at his home in Dearborn, surrounded by his wife Deborah,’ the office of his wife, Rep. Debbie Dingell, said in a statement.” (NBC News)
.
The Associated Press reports that “the Army is developing a new, more grueling and complex fitness exam that adds dead lifts, power throws and other exercises designed to make soldiers more fit and ready for combat.” The impetus? “Commanders have complained in recent years that the soldiers they get out of basic training aren’t fit enough.” Furthermore, “Unlike the old fitness test, which graded soldiers differently based on age and gender, the new one will be far more physically demanding and will not adjust the passing scores for older or female soldiers.”
.
“Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has published evidence of American Media Inc.‘s (AMI) attempt to blackmail him into halting his investigation into their publication of private text messages he allegedly exchanged with his mistress. In a blog post published on Thursday night, Bezos revealed that AMI, which owns the  National Enquirer, threatened to print a number of revealing, personal photos that depict Bezos and his mistress in various states of undress, unless he agreed to stop his investigation into how the Enquirer obtained his private text messages.” (National Review)
.
After having been “up all night going through my book because I take these claims of plagiarism so seriously,” former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson acknowledged, “The language is too close in some cases and should have been cited as quotation in the text.” She added, “The passages in question involve facts that should have been perfectly cited in my footnotes and weren’t.” (Washington Examiner)

by Chuck Ross
{dailycaller.com} ~ After more than two years of investigation, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has not found evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government... the committee’s Republican chairman said in interview. “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,” North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr told CBS News. “If I can finish tomorrow, I would finish tomorrow,” said Burr, adding, “We know we’re getting to the bottom of the barrel because there’re not new questions that we’re searching for answers to.” The Senate panel has conducted more than 200 witness interviews and reviewed hundreds of thousands of documents as part of an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. The investigation, which has focused heavily on the collusion question, began in January 2017, alongside a parallel probe run out of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Republicans on the House committee released a report on April 27, 2018, that found no evidence of collusion. But that report was dismissed by Democrats, who have accused California Rep. Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the House panel, of failing to conduct a full investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election...

There has been no subsequent contact between Mr. Simpson and Rep. scumbag-Schiff.” The congressman’s response was even more vague: “The chairman  did not have any pre-planned meeting with Glenn Simpson, and any conversation with him at the Aspen conference would have been brief and social in nature,” scumbag-Schiff spokesman Patrick Boland said...  https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/02/07/shifty-proof-of-collusion-surfaces-not-about-trump-about-adam-schiff-meeting-with-fusion-gps/

{foxnews.com} ~ The Senate Judiciary Committee narrowly advanced  William Barr’s nomination to be attorney general on Thursday on a party line vote... sending it to the full Senate which is expected to confirm him as President Trump’s chief law enforcement officer. Twelve Republican senators on the committee voted to advance Barr's nomination, while 10 Democrats voted against it. Barr, 68, who served as attorney general from 1991 to 1993 under the late President George H.W. Bush, will be the second full-fledged attorney general of the Trump administration. Trump fired former Attorney General Jeff Sessions from running the Justice Department the day after the 2018 midterm elections. Matthew Whitaker was appointed the acting attorney general. Barr’s Senate confirmation hearings ended last month with little uproar. But even so, some Democrats charged that Barr had indicated he would exploit legal “loopholes” to hide Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report from the public and resist subpoenas against the White House...  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/senate-judiciary-committee-narrowly-advances-barr-nomination-moves-on-to-full-senate-for-confirmation-vote

commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Is Not On The
House Climate Crisis Committee, Says It Wasn’t A ‘Snub’

by Tim Pearce 
Democratic Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Thursday she was not snubbed for a spot on the House Climate Crisis Committee... and that she voluntarily turned down an offer to serve on it. The New York representative rolled out her non-binding climate change resolution – the Green New Deal – outside the Capitol Thursday shortly after House Speaker Nancy Pulosi named the lawmakers serving on the House’s new climate change investigatory committee. commie-Ocasio-Cortez was not on the roster. “Speaker Pulosi and I have spoken at length about climate. We share this priority. She did, in fact, invite me to be on this committee, so I don’t think that this is a snub,” commie-Ocasio-Cortez said when asked why she was not named to the committee. commie-Ocasio-Cortez turned down the chance to serve on the Climate Crisis Committee because of her other committee assignments and need to focus on the Green New Deal resolution. “I’m on four subcommittees. We’re doing the Green New Deal,” she said. “Additionally, the select committee is an investigatory body. … So they’re tackling the investigative piece and right now we’re tackling the legislative piece.”... Both committees are a waste of time and money.

New York's Budget Rendezvous With SALT Deductions

by Jordan Candler:  In November 2017, Andrew evil-Cuomo was just one of the many Democrats already denouncing the soon-to-be-passed Republican tax reform. The New York governor fumed, “I’ve said repeatedly the more people learn about this tax plan, the more they’re going to learn that it’s wrong for New York. I’ve also said that they’re playing New Yorkers for fools and New Yorkers are not fools.”

Actually, New York is playing us for fools.

evil-Cuomo complained specifically about the tax reform’s modification to SALT (state and local tax) deductions. He stated, “In the tax reform plan, they end the mortgage-interest deduction for homes over $500,000. Now, $500,000 is an expensive home, but those homes are in states like the State of New York and the State of California. They limit property tax and their compromise. They limit property-tax deductions over $10,000. A lot of states don’t have property taxes over $10,000. The State of New York … [has] many homes that pay property taxes over $10,000.” That doesn’t sound like a federal concern.

Like others, the governor was prescient in anticipating future budgetary problems. But that’s wholly a function of the Democrats’ wrongheaded handling of taxpayer money.

This week, evil-Cuomo revealed that New York has a revenue shortfall of $2.3 billion. According to him, “[Capping] SALT was an economic civil war. It literally restructured the economy to help red states at the cost of blue states. That’s exactly what it did. It was a diabolical, political maneuver.” (Sidebar: In reality, a diabolical maneuver is evil-Cuomo’s “directing that New York’s landmarks be lit in pink to celebrate” late-term abortions.)

In fact, the opposite is true. The way SALT deductions worked before is that lower-middle-class taxpayers, for whom SALT deductions are less accommodating, were significantly subsidizing upper-middle-class taxpayers who had the luxury of using SALT for write-offs. In other words, the tax obligations of higher earners were lessened by virtue of the fact their hefty deductions were being underwritten by people with less income.

Or as the Washington’s Examiner’s Tiana Lowe puts it, “Curbing the SALT deduction merely requires wealthier New Yorkers to foot the bill for their own recklessly high taxes rather than offload the cost of their profligacy onto other states.”

Yes, changing the SALT rules meant some states would take a big revenue hit. But reversing this wasn’t a “political maneuver.” Instead, it balanced an extremely lopsided playing field. Despite evil-Cuomo’s assertion that “it’s wrong for New York,” the change was good for most of the nation.

evil-Cuomo simply doesn’t want to accept the more levelheaded, tried-and-true financial approach seen in conservative states. He also literally can’t accept that tax reform worked. According to The Wall Street Journal, “Last week the Congressional Budget Office released a 10-year forecast — the first to assess the effects of tax reform after one year of hard results. Compared with its prereform projection, the CBO now expects annual GDP growth to be almost $750 billion higher by 2027, the last year of its prior forecast. A strong case can be made that tax reform played a predominant role in accelerating GDP growth.”

Just because Gov. evil-Cuomo is salty over Republican tax reform doesn’t mean he’s right to malign fiscal conservatives. And if spending cuts are the solution to balancing his state’s budget, so be it. evil-Cuomo wailed, “God forbid if the rich leave.” That’s entirely within his power to control.

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker won’t appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Friday as scheduled unless the panel guarantees it will not subpoena him if he dodges any questions... according to a new report. The House Judiciary Committee voted to prepare a subpoena for Whitaker that would only be used if he "refuses to answer legitimate questions," including those on his conversations with President Trump regarding special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, according to committee Chairman scumbag-Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y. But CNN reports that Whitaker won’t show up to the scheduled hearing under those conditions. He will only appear if the panel provides written confirmation that he won’t be subpoenaed if he declines to answer questions. A representative for the Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Washington Examiner nor did a representative for the House Judiciary Committee. scumbag-Nadler was concerned Whitaker would fail to appear before the committee and pointed out that the hearing had already been postponed from January and that the committee received reports the Justice Department recommended Whitaker skip the hearing...

{foxnews.com} ~ Frank Robinson, a Hall of Fame outfielder who was the first player to win an MVP in both the American League and National League... and later became the first African American manager in Major League Baseball, died Thursday, according to MLB.com. He was 83. Robinson passed away "after a prolonged illness," the league said. Robinson batted .294 with 586 home runs in 21 seasons with the Cincinnati Reds, Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles Dodgers, California Angels and Cleveland Indians. He won the World Series with the Orioles in 1966 — earning series MVP honors after batting .286 with two home runs – and 1970. Robinson won his first league MVP with the Reds in 1961, when he led the National League with a .611 slugging percentage and blasted 37 home runs. With Baltimore in 1966, he won the Triple Crown — leading the American League with a .316 batting average, 49 home runs and 122 RBIs – en route to the AL MVP award. Robinson later managed the Indians, Orioles, San Francisco Giants, Montreal Expos and, most recently, the Washington Nationals from 2005-2006. Though his clubs never finished first and posted a combined 1,065-1,176 record, Robinson was a trailblazer, opening the door for African American and other minority managers in the years since.

{jpost.com} ~ Iran, Syria and Hezbollah are establishing a missile factory on the outskirts of the Syrian town Safita, Israel exposed on Thursday according to Channel 12... Israel’s strategy, according to the report, is to make the efforts public to thwart the construction and success of the factory, which is supposed to be where Iran will turn Hezbollah’s missiles into precision-guided munitions, capable of striking targets in Israel with unprecedented accuracy. The Israeli report claimed that a front organization named “Anas Group” was created to purchase materials from Italy, China and other Asian nations, and that the factory is currently run by Jamal Said, said to be a known figure in the field of missile production in the Middle East. Speaking in the United Nations in September, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pressured the international community to pay attention to Israel’s findings and inspect Iran’s movements in Syria. Netanyahu at the time revealed several sites in Beirut, where he said Hezbollah attempted to convert ground-to-ground missiles to precision missiles. One of the sites, according to the prime minister, was inside a soccer stadium belonging to the Lebanese terrorist group, a second site in Hariri International Airport and a third 500 meters from the airport’s runway in the heart of the Ma’aganah residential neighborhood...  https://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Iranian-Syrian-and-Hezbollah-secret-missile-site-exposed-by-Israel-580038

{conservativefreepress.com} ~ Fresh off her last national embarrassment, in which she tried to rig the Democratic primaries in favor of her best girl scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton... and wound up getting fired from the DNC in the process, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is ready to hit the big time again. This time, she’s telling the world that she’ll “most definitely” lead a court challenge against President Trump if he attempts to declare a national emergency and build the wall with pre-existing Pentagon funds. In an interview with CNN, Wasserman Schultz said, “There’s not a national emergency that would meet the test that would allow for the president to make such a declaration in this case. If you look at border crossings and apprehensions at the border, we have border crossings that are about a fifth of where they were going back to 2000.” Yes, well, that says it all, really. This has been a national emergency in the making for roughly half a century. It’s about time we had a president with the cojones to step up and do something about it. No surprise that Democrats and even a handful of Republicans want to stop him by any means necessary.“ We have the lowest amount of apprehensions that we have had in four decades. So the president is just not telling the truth when it comes to there being a case to be made for a national emergency to be declared,” she said. “And then what also is important is that the president doesn’t have the power of the purse. He can’t just decide that he doesn’t like the way Congress has appropriated the funds in an appropriations act that has been signed into law. So because we are not doing what he wants, he thinks he can just declare a national emergency and take the money from military construction projects that are already under funded.”... She needs to check the facts or she'll be embarrass one more time.

{cnsnews.com} ~ Victims of Venezuelan socialism who have come to America recently attended a Venezuela Freedom Rally in Washington, D.C... where Campus Reform asked them for their message to Americans who support socialism. “commie-Bernie Sanders is your enemy.

dinky-Warren Attempts to Whitewash Her
Not-So-White Lie

by Nate Jackson:  Democrat presidential candidate Elizabeth dinky-Warren has apologized for falsely claiming Native American ancestry. Of course, she waited until just a few hours before Donald Trump’s State of the Union so that tidbit would be buried under coverage of that event. Last week, she quietly gave a private mea culpa to the chief of the Cherokee Nation after her pathetic DNA test stunt last fall revealed she was possibly  approximately 1/1024th Native American. So why bring it up again this week?

The Washington Post, of all places, obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request a 1986 registration card for the Texas Bar Association on which Warren listed her race as “American Indian.” The Post reports, “Dated April 1986, it is the first document to surface showing Warren making the claim in her own handwriting. Her office didn’t dispute its authenticity.”

“I can’t go back,” dinky-Warren told the Post. “But I am sorry for furthering confusion on tribal sovereignty and tribal citizenship and harm that resulted.”

Clearly, she’s hoping this controversy will be a distant memory by the time the 2020 primaries kick off. Her fellow Democrats may leave the issue alone given their convoluted handling of “identity” issues, but voters may not be so forgiving. Trump would love to square off against “Pocahontas” in the presidential election, but her viability just took a huge hit.

{frontpagemag.com} ~ The ABC/AP report noted that the Trump administration was sending those members of the armed forces to the U.S./Mexican border to bring the total number of active-duty troops to 4,350... The Pentagon said that the soldiers would be installing 150 miles of concertina barbed wire and assist with surveilling the border, but not have direct contact with any illegal aliens or aid in their arrest by the Border Patrol. Reportedly, however, the soldiers will be able to help defend Border Patrol agents who come under fire. The news report included this excerpt: The announcement is in line with what Acting Defense Secretary Pat Shanahan had said on Tuesday when he provided estimates for the next phase of a military mission that has grown in size and length. Critics have derided it as a political ploy by the White House as President Donald Trump seeks billions to build a border wall. It is astonishing that anyone would actually believe that protecting America and Americans from the entry of uninspected aliens and cargo is a “political ploy.” Is the oath of office the President, Vice President or members of Congress take a political ploy? In point of fact, the political foes of the border wall are playing politics with national security, public safety, public health and the livelihoods of American and lawful immigrant workers...  https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/272778/military-border-appropriate-response-crisis-michael-cutler

California Push for More 
Gun Control Goes On Hyperdrive

{lidblog.com} ~ Why doesn’t California just go full on tyranny and stop pretending to be part of the United States?... Their new Governor, Gavin Newsom, is poised to push through some of the gun control measures so extreme that former Governor, Jerry Brown vetoed. Model for the rest of the country? Are they talking about canceling the Bill of Rights? They’ve already proposed a requirement for gun owners to lock up their weapons, They’ve previously suggested a 10-year prohibition on firearm possession for anyone convicted of two drug or alcohol offenses within three years. They already have proposed a gun tax to fund violence prevention. It seems those things aren’t enough to add to their gun control basket. The kind of extreme gun control has failed California as it has failed across the United States. If it were successful, places like California would be safe from any kind of gun violence. We know that’s not true. And as usual, no one is explaining how any new oppressive anti-gun laws would prevent criminals from committing gun crimes while protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners. And some areas of the state try to intimidate lawful gun owners from owning their firearms. Take Los Angeles, for example. They recently passed a city ordinance that forces contractors  who build buildings in the city to reveal any ties to the NRA. Seriously. How many contractors with links to the NRA have been convicted or arrested for mass killings? Just asking. The answer is zero...

{dailycaller.com} ~ Top House Democrats finally got their wish to hold the first hearings on global warming in six years Wednesday... but both committee hearings meandered into discussions of civil rights, race and apocalyptic warnings without much talk about science. The House Committee on Natural Resources hearing started off with testimony from Govs. Roy Cooper of North Carolina, a Democrat, and Charlie Baker of Massachusetts, a Republican — both of whom support liberal climate policies. During that time, Utah Rep. Rob Bishop  questioned whether or not the climate hearing broke committee rules. Bishop, the committee’s ranking Republican, also wondered why the committee held a hearing on an issue outside its jurisdiction. “Are these hearings simply for those of us around the horseshoe who are going to make legislation, or are these hearings designed for that group sitting at a table in the corner so they can write cute stories?” Bishop asked, pointing to where reporters sat in the hearing room...  https://dailycaller.com/2019/02/06/house-democrats-climate-hearings/?utm_medium=email

{frontpagemag.com} ~ “America was founded on liberty and independence and not government coercion, domination and control,” President Trump said in his State of the Union message... “We are born free and we will stay free.” And as the president clarified, “Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a Socialist country.” That brought applause even from Democrats such as Chuck scumbag-Schumer. For her part, House Speaker Nancy Pulosi sat stone-faced, and as Peggy Noonan noted, the Democrats’ rising star commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez looked “sullen, teenaged and at a loss.” The 29-year-old socialist shot back that “the president failed to offer any plan, any vision at all, for our future. We’re flying without a pilot.” In the socialist vision, a ruling class elite of surpassing wisdom pilots the nation, eliminating poverty and injustice, tranquilizing all anxieties and ushering in unparalleled prosperity. This ruling elite stands apart from human corruption and seeks only good things for all humankind. Trouble is, as F.A. Hayek showed in The Road to Serfdom, no person or group can possibly possess the knowledge to govern in that fashion. So under socialism poverty prevails and oppression follows because under socialism the worst always get on top. Countries that are barren of liberties are also barren of groceries, and that has been on display in Venezuela. Socialism has bludgeoned a prosperous nation into squalor, with millions fleeing and a bemedaled thug persecuting the opposition. This reality has failed to register with commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow Democrat socialists...

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Democrats introduced a "Green New Deal" resolution Thursday that calls for a dramatic shift in the nation's energy system to fight climate  change... The nonbinding resolution, introduced by Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., contains many of the same core tenets promised by progressives eager to push Democrats further to the left on climate policy heading into the 2020 presidential election. The resolution contains several goals that can't be turned into actual programs since it is nonbinding, and thus serves as a messaging document more than a policy proposal. NPR posted the resolution online Thursday. It calls for "net-zero greenhouse gas emissions" by 2030, but in a subtle shift that could expand support to centrist Democrats, it also allows for noncarbon-emitting energy sources that aren’t wind and solar power to reach the goal. Progressives had originally promised 100 percent renewable energy and banning fossil fuels. It urges the elimination of carbon emissions for all the major sectors of the economy — electricity, manufacturing, buildings, transportation, and even agriculture — all while ensuring a "fair and just transition for all communities and workers." The resolution proposes massive public investments in clean energy infrastructure on things such as light rail and weatherized buildings...

Trump Critics Admit Success of Association Health Plans
fA5FGaMGSEet8444oE5VGhd_KOMrydpDnDioy2A1uUwiTe8W4Lla5nGZzKC9qwdvWm94Jr-OEUbwB4ds1z0Hk4QCb8NEefhvEhXOrCcxUMPIffh7PhTABBc9UEtvtH6oTdlcuNWZLPRXhb_TevxwPs0cAH6wW9PnZU1P5p0=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
by Louis DeBroux:  It seems at every turn, President Donald Trump’s shrillest critics are being forced to eat crow. He was widely mocked during his campaign in 2016, with virtually every pundit declaring he had almost no chance of beating scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton … until he did. Critics claimed GOP tax reform would damage the economy; instead, it unleashed massive economic growth and job creation. They said taking a bombastic, hardline stance with North Korean tyrant and Chinese puppet Kim Jong-un would lead to nuclear war; instead, it brought the diminutive dictator to the negotiating table.

And this past summer, when President Trump rolled out new rules allowing individuals, the self-employed, and small businesses to band together and purchase health insurance across state lines, in what he called “association health plans” (AHPs), his critics again scoffed and attacked.

In reality, The Wall Street Journal described the concept for AHPs as proposed by the Health Policy Consensus Group, a conservative coalition of policy experts that included The Heritage Foundation, American Enterprise Institute, Galen Institute and the Manhattan Institute. The idea was to “drive control of health care almost entirely to the states, reversing [scumbag/liar-nObamaCare’s] federal mandates that seek to provide basic minimum benefits and consumer protections, which Republicans argue limit people’s choice. … Under the conservative plan, states would receive ACA money in the form of block grants to help low-income consumers buy coverage. Health savings accounts, which let people set aside tax-free money for medical expenses, would be expanded. Insurers could give discounts to people who are young or maintain continuous coverage.”

Democrats mocked the plans as “junk insurance,” and one Leftmedia outlet called it a “flop.”

Andy Slavitt, the man responsible for implementing scumbag/liar-nObamaCare, was blunt in his denunciation, declaring, “Association health plans are not the solution to any problem Americans have. They won’t make drugs more affordable, they won’t help Americans get health care they need. … When [association health plan members] finally do get sick, they find out what isn’t covered at exactly the wrong time and [then] coverage is more expensive and unavailable. … That’s why 95% of doctors, patient groups, and insurers say it’s a bad idea.”

So … what kind of wine goes best with crow?

As it turns out, the association health plans have been so successful that even the Trump-hating Washington Post  conceded this Trump victory.

The Post’s assistant editor, Robert Gebelhoff, wrote, “It’s time to acknowledge that critics may have misjudged one of the Trump administration’s signature health-care policies — ‘bigly.’ … New reports suggest that much of that fear might be overblown — at least for the time being. As The Washington Post’s health policy guru Paige Winfield Cunningham laid out this week, more than two dozen association health plans have been developed since the administration issued its new rule, and so far they don’t look nearly as skimpy as experts predicted.”

You don’t say!

Cunningham elaborates on the “shocking” success, noting, “Chambers of commerce and trade associations have launched more than two dozen of these ‘association health plans’ in 13 states in the seven months since the Labor Department finalized new rules. … And there are initial signs the plans are offering generous benefits and premiums lower than can be found in the scumbag/liar-nObamacare marketplaces.”

Cunningham continues, “When it comes to these new association health plans, they appear — at least so far — to offer benefits comparable to most workplace plans and haven’t tried to discriminate against patients with preexisting conditions.” She also notes that Land O'Lakes, a farm cooperative that participated in the AHPs, serving farmers in Nebraska and Minnesota, reports savings of 25-35% over plans in the  scumbag/liar-nObamaCare ACA marketplace.

Gebelhoff also reported the findings of the Congressional Budget Office, which predicts significant health coverage gains due to the AHPs, so much so that “an estimated 5 million people will enroll in either a short-term plan or an association health plan every year over the next decade, including more than 1 million people annually who were previously uninsured.”

Gebelhoff concluded by admitting, “So far, it seems these plans could work exactly as his administration promised: By helping offer coverage options for middle-income families who are making too much to qualify for federal ACA subsidies but are still struggling to afford premiums.”

The bane of conservative policies is that they sound harsh or uncompassionate, but the benefit is that they promote freedom and expand prosperity.

“Progressive” policies have the opposite problem. While sounding idealistic and compassionate in theory, in practice they crush the individual under the power of an unmerciful state while spreading poverty and misery to all but those holding the reins of power. To any who doubt that, read up on stories of people eating rats and dogs to keep from starving in the socialist utopia of Venezuela.

With the wonderful success of association health plans, hopefully Americans will reject the leftist propaganda they’ve been fed and allow the free market to bring these same types of successes to education and Social Security.  ~The Patriot Post

by wnd.com:   A large part of the “Russia” investigation that Democrats – and FBI special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller – have left unexplained so far is how the opposition research document funded by the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign... the so-called “dossier” which remains unverified to this day, ended up as “evidence” before the secret Washington FISA court that then on its weight authorized spying on the Trump campaign. Republicans in the House were working on prying that information out of the D.C. establishment when the Democrats abruptly were given the majority. But a new report in the Hill explains that dirty cop-Mueller has a record of being summoned before FISA judges to explain evidence that was – or was not submitted. Award-winning investigative writer John Solomon explained dirty cop-Mueller, “once was hauled before the nation’s secret intelligence court to address a large number of instances in which the FBI cheated on sensitive surveillance warrants, according to evidence gathered by congressional investigators.” He pointed out the events of years ago have “escaped public notice” because of the secrecy embedded in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.” It’s come out now because of testimony from a former FBI lawyer...

{thewashingtonstandard.com} ~ Announcing her intention to seek the presidency, U.S. Senator from California, lowlife-Kamala Harris, said she favored “Medicare for all,” which would essentially mean the complete socialization of health care... Asserting her ignorance of the Constitution and healthcare, Harris has tweeted in the past: “Here’s what I believe: health care is a right, not a privilege. ”Please pay attention to what I am about to say. lowlife-Kamala Harris is a socialist. She is also a liar. This is because socialism itself is a lie. Webster defines socialism as the “governmental ownership …of the means of production and distribution of goods…a system in which there is no private property.”Socialist theory is antithetical to the principles on which America was founded. Under the original American view of government, private property rights are championed and protected. However, in the socialist view, private property ownership is denounced and demonized. Socialism is un-American, and socialism has always destroyed any society where it has taken root. Look at Venezuela. While lowlife-Harris, commie-Sanders, scumbag/mad-Waters, Cortez and their ilk continue to push for Americans to embrace “new rights” like a socialist European healthcare system, they are not the originators of this concept in America...  https://thewashingtonstandard.com/socialism-is-a-lie-kamala-harris-is-a-liar/

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Are democracies in trouble? As someone outside the world's most powerful democracy, the United States, it is concerning to see how many countries in the West are being transformed... In Europe, free speech continues to be seriously eroded,  churches are desecrated, and religious Europeans murdered. There are signs that the same transformation is beginning in the United States, as well. International observers have begun asking if the US has a problem. Additionally, according to the Worldwide Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Community, released on January 29: "Global jihadists in dozens of groups and countries threaten local and regional US interests, despite having experienced some significant setbacks in recent years, and some of these groups will remain intent on striking the US homeland. Prominent jihadist ideologues and media platforms continue to call for and justify efforts to attack the US homeland". The report adds: "Homegrown violent extremists (HVEs) are likely to present the most acute Sunni terrorist threat to the United States, and HVE activity almost certainly will have societal effects disproportionate to the casualties and damage it causes"...
WW3 DOOMSDAY Threat: Russian Media Threatens

{shtfplan.com} ~ Russian media has threatened the United States with a 100 megaton nuclear weapon after a key arms treaty failed... The doomsday device was a threat lobbed by Russian state-sponsored media and the Russian military after the U.S. announced that the country will exit the Intermediate Nuclear Forces treaties. Although treaties don’t mean much their success hinges only on tyrants’ willingness to follow them and obey the words inked on paper anyway the U.S. mainstream media seems to be afraid. According to MSN, the treaty was the only thing standing between Russia and another Cold War. It was “one of the last barriers to a full-on Cold War-like arms race in Europe – and there’s already talk of a nuclear doomsday device visiting the U.S.,”  wrote MSN. The treaty was useless, however, as Russia disobeyed it. The INF treaty banned land-based nuclear-capable missiles with a range between 300 and 3,200 miles in 1987 when Russia and the U.S. had populated much of Europe with intermediate-range nuclear missiles. “The ban eliminated this entire class of missiles and went down as one of the most successful acts of arms control ever,”  wrote   MSN. Except it wasn’t successful in the least because Russian spent years developing a nuclear-capable weapon banned by the treaty, making the treaty absolutely worthless. The U.S. then responded by saying it would withdraw and design its own treaty-busting missiles. But the World War 3 and doomsday rhetoric jumped up a few notches when Russian media threatened to nuke the U.S. A BBC review of Russian newspapers, some state-owned and all adhering to state narratives or censored by the Kremlin, revealed some truly apocalyptic ideas...

{saraacarter.com} ~ Republicans with the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Tuesday submitted a motion to immediately publish dozens of witness transcripts in the Russia Trump investigation... that were turned over for declassification review, stating it is “part of the process of publishing them for the American people to see.” Though the transcripts are unclassified, the Committee had sent them to the Intelligence Community for a review as a precautionary measure. Let’s do it. Make the witness transcripts public and let the cards fall where they may. The committee already voted to make the documents public on a similar motion in September, 2018, when it was then led by House Republicans. The Republican motion was in response to now Democratic Chairman scumbag-Adam Schiff’s proposal to turn over all the witness interviews to Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s office for review. Those witness interviews, however, are already available to dirty cop-Mueller. Remember, the transcripts were given to the Executive Branch for declassification review months ago. dirty cop-Mueller had access to Roger Stone’s transcript. When dirty cop-Mueller decided to press charges against Stone, the only stipulation for the Special Counsel was that they had to ask for another official copy of the transcript from the committee. The committee obliged and sent the second copy of the transcript to the Justice Department. So why is scumbag-Schiff making this such a big issue? He’s showboating. There’s a reason for this approach. Schiff is insinuating that the people connected to Trump, who were interviewed by the committee lied. It’s a way of keeping the Russia Trump collusion narrative alive and well...

by Thomas Gallatin:  To give their rebuttal to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, Democrats chose Stacey Abrams, the former Georgia gubernatorial candidate and salacious romance novelist. Abrams lost the governor’s race and then launched a drawn-out attempt to trigger a second election by leveling spurious claims of voter suppression. She was equally lost last night in cognitive dissonance regarding the reality of the nation’s booming economy and its demonstrably positive impact upon millions of Americans across the socioeconomic spectrum, but especially in the middle class.

Abrams falsely asserted, “The Republican tax bill rigged the system against working people. Rather than bringing back jobs, plants are closing, layoffs are looming and wages struggle to keep pace with the actual cost of living.” News flash: This is 2019, not 2009. It’s not a social-media 10-year challenge.

Abrams also blasted Trump’s commitment to border security and stemming the tide of illegal immigration. She insisted that “compassionate treatment at the border is not the same as open borders,” while claiming that “Democrats stand ready to effectively secure our ports and borders” — just “not walls.” Never mind the fact that Abrams is an activist and advocate for noncitizen voting rights.

To put it bluntly, Abrams’s speech was little more than a Democrat campaign ad. All it revealed was just how extreme the Democrat agenda has become. Issues that all Americans were once united on — such as border security, the benefits of a capitalistic free-market economy, and the danger posed by socialism to Americans’ Liberty and individual rights — are now the issues Democrats are using to divide the country.

Increasingly, the only answers Democrats offer voters is Big Government socialism and division based on “identity.” That was all Abrams had to offer. And isn’t it ironic that Democrats tapped a losing candidate to offer a socialist vision that has failed everywhere it has been implemented? But at least Abrams looked better than those two wax figures who responded to Trump’s immigration remarks a few weeks back…  ~The Patriot Post

{thehill.com} ~ Scientists in a NASA-led study recently discovered a massive hole, about two-thirds the size of Manhattan, in an Antarctic glacier... NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory on Wednesday announced in a statement that the hole, which is almost 1,000 feet tall, was one of several "disturbing" discoveries it found on the "disintegrating" Thwaites Glacier. "Researchers expected to find some gaps between ice and bedrock at Thwaites' bottom where ocean water could flow in and melt the glacier from below," NASA said. "The size and explosive growth rate of the newfound hole, however, surprised them." The researchers said that the cavity could've fit "14 billion tons of ice" in it, adding that "most of that ice melted over the last three years." CNN, which first reported the discovery, noted that Thwaites Glacier is one of the most difficult places to monitor on the planet. Scientists have said that there is no way they can observe Antarctic glaciers from surface level. The laboratory instead produced its findings by utilizing airborne and satellite ice-penetrating radars...  https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/427815-hole-two-thirds-size-of-manhattan-found-in-antarctic-glacier

{freebeacon.com} ~ Qatar, a small oil-rich country with outsized regional influence, has been engaged in secret cyber espionage operations on American soil while also spending millions of dollars to pay prominent Washington, D.C., insiders... as part of an ongoing campaign to alter America's political landscape, according to former intelligence officials and other experts. Qatar's influence operations have largely been unseen, but have enabled the country to amass outsized political influence across Europe and particularly in Washington, D.C., where some of the most powerful diplomats and political insiders are said to operate on Doha's behalf. While Qatar has for years funded prominent White House-tied think-tanks such as the Brookings Institution, the extent of its massive influence operations did not fully become clear until last year, when it was alleged that Doha secretly funded hack attacks on some 1,500 individuals, including prominent D.C. political insiders. However, that just scratches the surface of the country's clandestine influence operations, which  includes the funding of U.S. public school curriculum and training programs for local police forces, a panel of experts revealed during a Wednesday conference examining Qatar's efforts to win over international powerbrokers...  https://freebeacon.com/national-security/qatar-waging-mass-influence-operations-across-u-s/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=aabad6c269-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_02_07_01_02_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-aabad6c269-45611665

{freebeacon.com} ~ Democrats are reigniting a decade-long push for a constitutionally dubious workaround to the Electoral College, with the most ambitious efforts coming in two western states... in which the left gained the political "trifecta" of owning the governor's seat and both chambers of the state legislature after the 2018 elections. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, or NPV, creates an agreement by all states that have entered into it, whereby their Electoral College votes are cast for the candidate who wins the most individual votes nationwide, not who wins the most in that state. Central to the compact is the legal trigger that it would not take effect until the number of Electoral College votes of all the states entered in surpasses 270, the key number required to win the presidency. With 11 states and the District of Columbia agreeing to participate, the NPV Electoral College vote tally stands at 172. For example, if Idaho had been in the compact in 2016, and if the compact were in force, the state's four Electoral College votes would have been cast for scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton even though Donald Trump beat her by more than a two-to-one margin there, because scumbag/liar-Clinton won more votes nationwide. Idaho is one state where NPV legislation is pending this year, but the compact has no chance of advancing there because the state currently has a Republican trifecta, and Republicans nationwide have been united in opposition to the NPV...

{freebeacon.com} ~ Religious minorities in China are in grave danger, a panel of experts and activists warned Tuesday... The group, representing Christian, Muslim, Taiwanese, and Tibetan communities in China, came together for an event at the Heritage Foundation titled, "Evaluating Threats to Religious Freedom in China." Walter Lohman, director of the think tank's Asian Studies Center, moderated the event, during which each panelist  described a drastic increase in persecution by the Chinese Communist Party since last year. Dr. Bob "Xiqiu" Fu, the president and founder of ChinaAid, described 2018 as a disastrous year for Chinese civil rights. According to Fu, it marked the "worst year for human rights, freedom of press, freedom of association" since 1967 and the Cultural Revolution. Despite Article 36 of the Chinese constitution guaranteeing religious liberty, the law restricts "hosting large-scale religious activities" or "distributing religious materials." Children, military members, and Communist Party members may not attend religious services. In 2018, ChinaAid documented 10,000 individual cases of state persecution against Christians, Fu said, a 36-fold increase from 2017...

California Defies the Law of Economics  
by Steven Greenhut

{spectator.org} ~ The California Capitol isn’t known for much solid economic thinking, but sometimes lawmakers outdo the already low expectations with their wacky ideas... For instance, 19 Democratic legislators asked that Attorney General Xavier Becerra investigate the state’s exorbitantly high gas prices. “There are a number of indications that the state’s gasoline market lacks robust competition and that Californians are consequentially paying a steeper price, beyond what can otherwise be accounted for, compared to residents of other states,” they wrote in a recent letter. You don’t say. Perhaps the special state-mandated gasoline blend caused the lack of competition because it dramatically reduces the number of refineries that produce gasoline for sale in the state. Another reason our gas prices are higher than in other state is we pay the second-highest gasoline taxes in the nation. Legislators — including most of the ones who signed the letter — raised those taxes  again last year. Then there are cap-and-trade surcharges to deal with global warming and the state fee to clean up sites polluted by the ingredient in an old state-mandated formulation. The gas prices still are too high, the legislators explained, even after considering all those factors because of something that UC Berkeley professor Severin Borenstein refers to as a “mystery surcharge.” It doesn’t seem like a surcharge, but merely is the amount of the higher cost that the state Petroleum Market Advisory Committee chaired by that professor cannot account for. I know that markets can be confounding things to regulators, but this strikes me as unusually silly. State officials can investigate gas prices all they want, but it is clear that lawmakers prefer to deflect from the main reasons prices are too high while they search for a phantom culprit. It’s a little too reminiscent of Inspector Renault’s call to round up the usual suspects in Casablanca. In California, those suspects are always in the private sector given that the government can do no wrong...  https://spectator.org/california-defies-the-law-of-economics/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=fa3cfcb263-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_02_07_11_07&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-fa3cfcb263-104608113

The 2019 SOTU Review:
A Trump Administration Triumph

by Mark Alexander and Nate Jackson:  Today is Ronald Reagan’s  birthday. In the years since his presidency, through the Bush (41), Clinton, Bush (43), and scumbag/liar-nObama years, analyzing State of the Union addresses has been more about endurance than inspiration.

But, surprisingly, that changed last year with Donald Trump’s first address, “Our New American Moment.” His second address last night was even better than the first. These SOTUs did not follow the worn template of providing a wish list, but instead were a running recap of administration and congressional successes over the last two years.

In both instances, President Trump’s remarks strongly contrasted the difference in Republican optimism and Democrat pessimism — Republican advocacy for Libertyand self-reliance versus  Democrats’ advocacy for dependence, statism, and now  unapologetic socialism based on their failed policies of the past.

We concluded years ago that the Democrat Party was not one of the oppressed but of the depressed. And that deranged institutional depression has become epidemic.

Again in his latest SOTU, Trump instilled pride in who we are as a nation. It was framed by unity rather than partisanship. “Victory is not winning for our party,” he declared. “Victory is winning for our country.” He began and ended his address with calls for unity and he highlighted numerous areas that should enlist universal agreement, largely about America’s promise and historical achievements. There were several issues in the middle of his speech that should unify Americans, especially the Trump administration’s strong economic record. But the Democrats would have no part in a call for unity.

Trump opened, saying, “Members of Congress, the state of our union is strong.” Yet over his shoulder, Nancy “Sourpuss” Pulosi shook her head. Clearly, good news is bad news for Democrats, whose best political hope is to drive the nation into recession before 2020.

Americans may disagree on how to achieve border security and an orderly legal immigration process, but we should all be able to agree that caravans of migrants should not be free to cross our border.

Trump noted, “In the past, most of the people in this room voted for a wall — but the proper wall never got built. I will get it built.” He completely shifted the immigration debate to protecting American jobs and people.

Trump declared, “Here, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country. We are born free, and we will stay free. Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.” That shouldn’t be controversial, although socialist Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders and other socialist Democrats looked like they were suffering heart failure.

Record-low unemployment — especially for black and Hispanic Americans — rising wages across the board, and an overall strong economy are not partisan issues; they are facts. Yet in each instance when we should all agree, many if not most Democrats sat on their hands rather than applauding. However, Trump did get almost the entire room chanting “USA, USA” after mentioning the stats on the number of women now in the workforce.

People may not see eye to eye on when abortion is appropriate — there’s not much common ground between “never” and “most of the time.” But it should be beyond dispute to say that children should not be killed at the moment of or even after birth.

“Let us work together to build a culture that cherishes innocent life,” Trump said. “And let us reaffirm a fundamental truth: All children — born and unborn — are made in the holy image of God.”

Notably, Trump did receive almost unanimous approval for what we believe was the best gathering of gallery guests in any State of the Union.

Trump concluded, “We must choose whether we are defined by our differences — or whether we dare to transcend them. We must choose whether we squander our inheritance — or whether we proudly declare that we are Americans: we do the incredible, we defy the impossible, we conquer the unknown. We must choose between greatness or gridlock, results or resistance, vision or vengeance, incredible progress or pointless destruction. Tonight, I ask you to choose greatness.”

We rate this high among the best modern-day SOTUs, and many who viewed it agree. The Leftmedia network CBS reluctantly reported its findings regarding public approval of Trump’s State of the Union: 76% of those watching the speech approved, including a 30% approval rating among Democrats and 82% among Independents. Notably, 72% approved of his immigration plan. (We hope Trump will not derail the success of this SOTU, as is his penchant, with some petulant, dis-unifying social-media post.)

Of course, chief among those not approving were Pelosi and DNC Chairman Tom Perez.

For her part, Pulosi concluded: “It will take days to fact-check all the misrepresentations that the president made tonight. Instead of fearmongering and manufacturing a crisis at the border, President Trump should commit to signing the bipartisan conference committee’s bill to keep government open and provide strong, smart border security solutions. … President Trump must now take concrete steps to work with Democrats to strengthen the health and economic security of families across America. After two years of the president’s empty words, the American people deserve real results.”

Actually, this is a fine example of Pulosi’s “alternate universe” perspective. The Trump administration and Republican Congress have clearly strengthened “the health and economic security of families across America” and, demonstrably, the American people are experiencing “real results.”

And for those watching the SOTU, there is now a consistent Pulosi poker tell — when she knows Trump has succeeded where Democrats have failed, she starts doing that smirk thing, as if trying to get the spinach out of her teeth. The Demo/MSM machine was certainly consumed with what it claimed was a teenager’s smirk two weeks ago — but not a word on Pulosi’s smirk, and all the others on the left side of the room last night.

Predictably, according to Perez: “After attending Trump’s State of the Union tonight, I know this for certain: The only way that we will be able to stop his outrageous, divisive agenda is by taking back the Senate and putting a Democrat in the White House in 2020. I am going to fight like hell to make sure we’re building the infrastructure necessary to continue to elect Democrats up and down the ballot in the months and years ahead.”

The bottom line: There will be no unity in the next two years, because Democrats and their Leftmedia publicists thrive on division and partisanship, the antithesis of unity. They have reconstructed their political platform on a “Hate Trump” foundation, rejecting Rule of Law, the most basic tenets of morality, and America’s First Principles.

by Media Editors:  Political witch hunt: “President Trump on Wednesday denounced House Intelligence Committee Chairman scumbag-Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) as a ‘political hack’ for opening a sweeping investigation into Trump’s ties to Russia and his personal finances,” The Hill reports. The new investigation “extends beyond alleged links between the Trump campaign and Russia that would examine whether Trump’s decisions as president have been motivated by financial gain.”

“House Democrats will take their first step toward obtaining President Donald Trump’s personal tax returns, convening a hearing Thursday to examine legislative proposals and laws dictating the process to acquire the documents,” according to ABC News. “Democratic leaders have argued that the filings could produce a road map for investigations into Trump’s tangle of global businesses and provide a cure for anxiety caused by his refusal to share details about his wealth, debt, charitable giving and potential conflicts of interests.” The only “cure for anxiety” Democrats are after is Trump’s impeachment.

Apologies ad nauseam: “Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren, D-Mass., on Wednesday was once again forced to apologize for claiming  Native American ancestry on a 1986 registration card for the Texas state bar, and left the door open that there may be more documents out there with a similar claim,” Fox News reports. Her latest apology is just a few days removed from her quietly giving a private mea culpa to the chief of the Cherokee Nation.

Last year was another warm one, according to government scientists. In fact, the current five-year period is the warmest on record. Democrats are complaining that climate change was absent from President Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address, but the U.S. is doing its part to reduce emissions. That’s not the case with other nations, which is why the Green New Deal, the goals of which were unveiled today, is senseless. In any event, there are more unknowns than there are knowns.

{patriotnewsalerts.com} ~ Monday may have been the first good “legal” day for former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort in quite some time... In a closed hearing, Manafort’s attorneys stood toe-to-toe with the dirty cop-Mueller legal team in an effort to get his plea deal reinstated. The judge seemed willing to listen too — Manafort’s attorneys spent more than four hours battling it out for their client. The transcripts of the case have yet to be revealed, as the judge has ordered both parties to present their redactions by Wednesday close of business. Manafort’s team argued that Manafort never intentionally lied, just that he was unclear of certain events as well as some timelines. Once his memory was refreshed, however, they say he told the truth as he knew it...

{nationalreview.com} ~ Today, House Democrats are holding hearings on a monstrous, 571-page election- and campaign-finance-reform bill called the “For the People Act of 2019.”... I can think of other, more accurate, names — like the “First Amendment Demolition Act,” or perhaps the “Federalism Repeal Act,” or maybe, most accurate of all, the “Constitutional Lawyers Enrichment Act,” because the passage of the law would trigger a full decade at least of litigation on numerous constitutional fronts.  At its essence, the bill federalizes control over elections to an unprecedented scale, expands government power over political speech, mandates increased disclosures of private citizens’ personal information down to name and address, places conditions on citizen contact with legislators that inhibits citizens’ freedom of expression, and then places enforcement of most of these measures in the hands of a revamped Federal Election Commission that is far more responsive to presidential influence. The bill is too long and complex to analyze in its entirety in one essay, but let’s pull out a few components. The bill contains a section misleadingly entitled “Stopping Super PAC-Candidate Coordination” that dramatically expands government regulation of political speech and contact with candidates for public office. These provisions not only work to flatly prohibit constitutionally protected speech, but their sheer scope would also chill a considerable amount of protected speech as law-abiding citizens try to steer clear of violating broad and vague laws...

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ When House Speaker Nancy Pulosi, D-Calif., disinvited President Trump from delivering the State of the Union on its originally scheduled date, Jan. 29... the White House and Republicans in Congress brainstormed about what to do. Should Trump travel somewhere, such as the U.S.-Mexico border, and give his speech there? Should he show up at the Capitol on the 29th and demand to speak? Should he deliver the address in writing, as it was for many years of the nation's history? Fortunately for Trump, none of those ideas passed muster. Then, when the partial government shutdown was temporarily resolved, the speaker relented and invited the president to appear Feb. 5. Trump agreed, which to some Republicans seemed like a surrender but was in fact a wise decision. Trump realized that there simply was no equally good alternative to delivering the State of the Union from the House chamber, with most of the United States government gathered inside and millions watching not only on the cable news channels but the broadcast entertainment networks, too. That was especially true with the issue that sparked the shutdown — Trump's proposal for a barrier along some parts of the southern border — still unresolved. A House-Senate conference committee has a little more than a week to come to an agreement over the barrier, or the government could well shut down again. With both sides dug in, the State of the Union was Trump's best chance to make his case to the American people that the barrier should be part of a broader border policy. Trump had already tried a prime-time address to the nation, on Jan. 8, and failed to move the needle. The State of the Union was his last chance. But it was also a chance to make a much bigger case — a case for the results Trump has achieved during his presidency and his agenda for the rest of his term. And Trump made the best of that chance. The speech was big, not just in length — about 80 minutes — but also in concept. It had a structure. It had a message. It had passages to appeal to all Americans. It had passages to appeal to Trump's conservative base. And it had passages to appeal to opposition Democrats, who otherwise hated nearly every word of it...

China to Reorient the Bible to Promote

{cnsnews.com} ~ China’s attempts to secularize religion have spilled over into rewriting the Bible... Under the direction of the Chinese government, two Protestant organizations in China, the Three-Self Patriotic Movement and the Chinese Christian Council, created a five-year plan to reorient the Bible to promote socialism and create a new Christianity that favors the communist government’s agenda. The goal is to eradicate any form of Christianity deemed to threaten the authority of the Chinese state and replace it with a form that advances the Communist Party’s ends. This secularizing process is known as sicinization. New reports on the five-year plan from the Rev. Bob Fu, founder of the persecution watchdog organization ChinaAid, come in the wake of intensifying persecution of Christians throughout China... This bible is not Gods Words. Rev. 22:18-19
Reintroducing Tax Subsidies That Benefit 
Only a Few Americans Is a Terrible Idea

{dailysignal.com} ~ Every few years, Congress renews a list of expiring tax subsidies called “tax extenders” at the behest of powerful industry lobbyists. Instead of returning to business as usual in the swamp... Congress should focus on fixing a few mistakes in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that would benefit all Americans.  
The 2017 tax reform package was supposed to end the practice of implementing temporary extenders, but wealthy corporate interests haven’t gone quietly into the night. There are about 26 narrowly tailored special-interest tax privileges that expired at the end of 2017. At the end of 2018, a bipartisan group of policy organizations recommended, “Congress should not insert these policies back into the tax code now or in the future.” It was right. Each extender grants an economic privilege, tailored to some particular group or business interest. By picking winners and losers, these corrupt policies reduce opportunity for individuals and businesses that Congress does not shower with special favors...

Homosexuals Reject 'Transgender' Claim
Br33LOPAR82Hw3299CUHMkMBaypSYN6dUR_oNA-o7bxpKBeL5dsQNeUwav2pTiU1Z6xc7JtSYhXsbI6vRziMwkx26KUFErtm54UPoW4uwmgeItqhn9C248D3Kb6MrFcyeoBcnAUd-PXmNi1BNyjszJH3_xP_fmLIon-y6Rw=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
by Culture Beat:  Some members of the homosexual lobby are beginning to ring the warning bells concerning the growing threat posed by “transgender” ideology. In a recent article published in New York Magazine, Andrew Sullivan, a journalist who is himself homosexual, argues that there are obvious problems with the leftist proposal to expand the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include protections for “transgender” persons. Sullivan notes that the proposal would redefine “sex” to include “gender identity” and defines it as “gender-related identity, appearance, mannerisms, or characteristics, regardless of the individual’s designated sex at birth.” In other words, the biology-based definition of sex would be thrown out in favor of a socially constructed self-definition paradigm, irrespective of biology. Sullivan pointedly observes the cultural conundrum such a redefinition would create:

And the truth is that many lesbians and gay men are quite attached to the concept of sex as a natural, biological, material thing. Yes, we are very well aware that sex can be expressed in many different ways. A drag queen and a rugby player are both biologically men, with different expressions of gender. Indeed, a drag queen can also be a rugby player and express his gender identity in a variety of ways, depending on time and place. But he is still a man. And gay men are defined by our attraction to our own biological sex. We are men and attracted to other men. If the concept of a man is deconstructed, so that someone without a penis is a man, then homosexuality itself is deconstructed. Transgender people pose no threat to us, and the vast majority of gay men and lesbians wholeheartedly support protections for transgender people. But transgenderist ideology — including postmodern conceptions of sex and gender — is indeed a threat to homosexuality, because it is a threat to biological sex as a concept.

And so it is not transphobic for a gay man not to be attracted to a trans man. It is close to definitional. The core of the traditional gay claim is that there is indeed a very big difference between male and female, that the difference matters, and without it, homosexuality would make no sense at all. If it’s all a free and fluid nonbinary choice of gender and sexual partners, a choice to have sex exclusively with the same sex would not be an expression of our identity, but a form of sexist bigotry, would it not?

As Mark Alexander wrote in “The Gender Deniers,” “There is no such thing as ‘transgendered,’ and the word itself constitutes an egregious deception. A gender-disoriented person may ‘identify’ as the other gender, but they will always be the same gender they were at conception. The notion of so-called ‘gender reassignment’ is equally fallacious.”

Thus, to hear Sullivan come to virtually the same conclusion is another marker on the road as the homosexual lobby tries to figure out what to do with the “transgendered” lobby. It is not compatible.  ~The Patriot Post

Trump to Congress: Choose 'Greatness' Over Politics

{wnd.com} ~ Emphasizing unity amid fierce opposition to his presidency, President Trump urged a join session of a divided Congress gathered for his State of the Union address Tuesday night to “choose greatness,”... putting citizens and the country first above their political ambitions. Trump said many are “hoping we will govern not as two parties, but as one nation.” The agenda he laid out during his address, he said, is not a Republican agenda or a Democratic agenda but an “agenda of the American people.” “Together, we can break decades of political stalemate. We can bridge old divisions, heal old wounds, build new coalitions, forge new solution and unlock the extraordinary promise of America’s future,” he said. “The decision is ours to make. He decried Democrats’ celebration of New York’s new expansive abortion law and, amid the popularity of Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders and Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the downfall of Venezuela, vowed that America “will never become a socialist nation.”  Trump noted the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Europe and honored three veterans of World War II in attendance. Recalling the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, he honored astronaut Buzz Aldrin...

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ President Trump declared in his State of the Union speech that America will "never be a socialist country," a clear rebuke of a new generation of Democrats... and socialists like Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. “Here, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country,” Trump told Congress Tuesday night. “We are born free, and we will stay free. Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.” That warning came minutes after Trump brought commie-Ocasio-Cortez — one of the most prominent young proponents of socialism to take office this year — and other Democratic women in the chamber to their feet by noting the record number of female lawmakers serving in Congress this year. But he turned promptly to a rebuke of the insurgent ideologues, who have gained influence in the party since self-described socialist Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders mounted a stiff challenge for the Democratic residential nomination in 2016.“America was founded on liberty and independence — not government coercion, domination, and control,” Trump said. The president anchored that domestic rebuke in the political sea change underway in Venezuela, where the United States and regional allies recognized opposition lawmaker Juan Guaido as the interim president, at the expense of strongman Nicolas Maduro. “We stand with the Venezuelan people in their noble quest for freedom — and we condemn the brutality of the Maduro regime, whose socialist policies have turned that nation from being the wealthiest in South America into a state of abject poverty and despair,” he said.

{jpost.com} ~ The United States has purchased Iron Dome systems from Israel for an immediate need of the United States Army... the Defense Ministry announced on Wednesday.  The decision was made as part of an agreement between the Israeli Ministry of Defense and the US Department of Defense to fill its short-term needs for an Indirect Fire Protection Capability. “The Iron Dome system will be used for deployed US military forces as a defense system against a wide range of ballistic and airborne threats, and will be tested in the long run as part of a range of possible US military responses to aerial threats,” read a statement by the Israel’s Ministry of Defense. Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Binyamin Netanyahu praised the deal, calling it a “great achievement for Israel.” “This is yet another expression of the strengthening of our strong alliance with the US and an expression of Israel’s rising status in the world. Israel has an Iron Dome and an iron fist. Our systems know how to deal with any threat, both defensive and offensive. I would not recommend our enemies to try us.” In February, it was reported that the US Army had asked Congress for $373 million to buy two batteries off-the-shelf from Rafael which included 12 launchers, two sensors, two battlement management centers and 240 interceptors. Washington wanted to have them delivered by 2020...

This is unfortunate, since false flag is a perfectly legitimate term in the espionage world, and it’s far from new. Spies have masqueraded as someone else during their secret operations for as long as there have been spies. In extreme cases, intelligence services have undertaken terrorist attacks under a false flag to smear opponents and fool the public. Such cases, while rare, do occur. They still happen today. A fair amount of the time, these incidents involve Russians, since the Kremlin perfected this dark art over a century ago, when professional provocateurs ran the tsar’s terrorism problem bloodily into the ground. A recent case of false flag terrorism illustrates that not much has changed in the last 120 years. On February 4, 2018, unidentified assailants fire-bombed a Hungarian cultural center in Uzhhorod, the capital of Ukraine’s westernmost region. There were no casualties, but the attack raised worries among the 100,000 Hungarians who live around Uzhhorod, on the border with Hungary, their ancestral homeland. The status of Ukraine’s Hungarian minority has become a hot-button issue between Kiev and Budapest, and the terrorist incident made the touchy situation worse...  https://observer.com/2019/02/russia-spies-terrorist-attacks-false-flag/?utm_campaign=daily&utm_content=2019-06-02-15921449&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=channel-national-politics-distribution

How’s That Seth Rich Murder Investigation 
Going (?) & Other Important Questions

{americanlibertyreport.com} ~ We have some questions. We think they’re important questions that people in the media and Congress should be asking... but shocker no one is. Here are our questions, in no particular order, but starting with the one about Seth Rich. How is that Seth Rich murder investigation going? The answer appears to be that it’s now just another unsolved cold case murder. The former DNC staffer was gunned down in 2016, just days after a treasure trove of emails from the DNC and scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign manager John Podesta were stolen and delivered to WikiLeaks (there was never a DNC “hack”). The media doesn’t even report on the Seth Rich case any longer, after Fox News got burned by a planted false flag story. The mainstream media has, of course, jumped on the Fox debacle to claim that the entire “conspiracy theory” about Seth Rich has been debunked. First of all, it’s not a “conspiracy theory.” Julian Assange of WikiLeaks all but admitted that Seth Rich was his source for the DNC emails. The emails weren’t hacked by the Russians. They appear to have been delivered to WikiLeaks by Seth Rich, just days before he was murdered...  https://www.americanlibertyreport.com/articles/hows-that-seth-rich-murder-investigation-going-other-important-questions/

China Got the Geopolitical Shaft With a Big Discovery

by Harold Hutchison:  It’s a safe bet that not even 1% of Americans could point out Marcus Island on a map. Its notoriety is most recently based on being a target of one of Admiral William F. Halsey’s early raids on Japanese installations in the months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Well, Marcus Island now has a new claim to notoriety: Giving the People’s Republic of China the geopolitical shaft.

According to an April 19, 2018 report by Fox News, this small atoll, about 1,200 miles from Tokyo and about 1,400 miles from Wake Island, is sitting on a motherlode of rare-earth metals. As in, enough to supply world demand for them for at least the next four to eight centuries.

You might be asking, “What’s the big deal about rare-earth metals? And why nine months later?” Well, for starters, if you want to know why it matters, just look at the cell phone you may well be reading this article on. Rare-earth metals make that smartphone possible. Without rare-earths, it’s just not possible to keep our economy going.

And China, for now, has about 95% of the world’s rare-earth metal production. This has been used by China as a bit of a “stick” when there have been tensions. Cut off the rare-earth metals, watch countries and companies who depend on those metals for high-tech devices become much more amenable to Chinese demands.

The key words are, “for now.” With Japan developing access to these metals, well, the situation has drastically changed. The position of Marcus Island is such that China has to come out into the middle of the Pacific — and while its navy is growing, it’s not growing fast enough to make that challenge successfully, especially given that Indiastill would warrant China’s attention.

China is facing a bind much similar to what Russia is dealing with vis-à-vis natural gas. It used to have virtually all of the proverbial pie, could charge a higher price for what it exported, and had the ability to leverage the product. The Marcus Island mother lode changes that. Now, China is finding that not only does it not have a near-monopoly on rare-earth metals, but also that the pie is smaller. Beijing’s leverage has decreased greatly as a result.

Just as Russia is losing its geopolitical kompromat over Germany and Eastern Europe thanks to American exports of natural gas, China has lost its leverage over the United States and its allies. Japan can now provide the rare-earth metals indefinitely to the United States, meaning the U.S. can apply more pressure to China over trade, its aggression in the South China Sea, and on human rights. And as a result, Japan is laughing all the way to the bank as it reaps the reward for providing this technological lifeblood.

The geopolitical ramifications of the Marcus Island mother lode will be good news for the United States of America, especially as China now faces the double whammy of lost leverage and lost money. That good news is also going to emerge in a more concrete way for individual Americans as well, in the form of lower prices for electronic devices, thanks to the increased supply from a friendlier and more convenient source. It’s not every day when consumers win, America wins, and the butchers of Beijing lose. The best part of all is that no shots were fired.  ~The Patriot Post

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ President Trump during his State of the Union address Tuesday blasted Democrats for authorizing "a baby to be ripped from the mother's womb" and allowing doctors to "execute a baby after birth,"... urging Congress to pass a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. "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," Trump said. The president's comments come after New York loosened restrictions on abortion and as Democrats are under fire for controversial comments regarding late-term abortion.Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and state Del. Kathy Tran, both Democrats, last week said they supported a state bill that appeared to allow abortion at the time of birth. Tran later said she misspoke about when abortion would be permitted and Northam’s office later released a statement saying that the governor’s comments were mischaracterized and had been intended in cases in which a baby wouldn’t survive birth because of deformity or another health issue. In his State of the Union address, Trump called the remarks "chilling."...

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Imagine if an American city continued to celebrate a prominent businessman who had published newspapers and books advocating overt racism and racial discrimination against Black people... Imagine if the Grand Wizard of the KKK had a picture of this man in his office and credited him with inspiring him to kill African Americans. Imagine statues and photographs commemorating the life of such a bigot. Imagine if a performing arts center was named after him and African American performers who wanted to appear in the city had to walk into a building bearing the name of this racist. The reaction would be immediate and uncompromising: all glorification of this racist must stop; statues and pictures must be removed; history must treat him as a pariah despite his positive accomplishments as a businessman. Well, the city Dearborn, Michigan is celebrating such a racist bigot today. But no one is demanding that his images must be removed or his despicable history and ideology publicized. His name is Henry Ford, the founder of Ford Motor Company. Ford devoted his life to two passions: making cars and demonizing Jews. When Hitler said, "I regard Henry Ford as my inspiration," he wasn't referring to his car manufacturing. He was referring to Ford's anti-Semitic ideology that eventuated in the genocide of six million Jews. A large photograph of Ford was prominently displayed in Hitler's office. The periodical Ford published weekly -- The Dearborn Independent -- was a polite version of the Nazi newspaper, Der Stürmer. It was circulated throughout the U.S. and around the world. Hitler believed that the popularity of Ford's anti-Semitic screeds in America would encourage American citizens to support his anti-Semitic policies in Germany and through Europe. Thankfully he was wrong. Although there were anti-Semitic movements in the United States in the run-up to World War II -- advocated by the likes of Father Charles Coughlin and to some degree Charles Lindbergh -- once Pearl Harbor was attacked and the United States declared war on both Japan and Germany, anti-Semitism of the kind advocated by Henry Ford dried up. But Ford himself never changed his dangerous views...

Against The Evidence, Media Keeps Insisting Terrorists

{thefederalist.com} ~ Much of the noise accompanying President Trump’s partial justification for a wall concerns the veracity of a general threat... that Islamist terror travelers in the flow of “special interest aliens” (SIAs) might easier breach the southern border without one. Critics in the media vehemently argue that the administration is trafficking in ridiculous, baseless fearmongering. After President Trump said Muslim prayer rugs were intercepted at the border, one Vox article said migration from Muslim-majority countries only happened at “vanishingly small rates.” Another, in The Washington Post, called southern border migration from Muslim countries a “conspiracy theory.” But perhaps the most influentially misleading article on the subject came from The New York Times. On January 18, The Times published a “Fact Check” column by Linda Qiu titled “Trump’s Baseless Claim About Prayer Rugs Found at the Border.” It essentially concluded that migration from Muslim-majority countries is an unproven conspiracy theory and, even if it did happen, no one could consider it a security threat. The column contained numerous errors and inaccurately cited two government reports to support the story’s weak contentions. This sort of recurring problem in the media must finally be called out. Thousands of migrants from countries of terrorism concern do reach the southern border every year; whether they leave prayer rugs behind is irrelevant. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) professionals have, for many years, regarded this migrant traffic as a higher threat, so much so that public funds have long been earmarked for special vetting, investigation, and intelligence work...

Nancy Pulosi quotes favorite Bible verse. There's
 just one problem — it's not actually in the Bible.

{theblaze.com} ~ House Speaker Nancy Pulosi (D-Calif.), while speaking to a group of Christian university presidents last week, quoted her favorite Bible verse... which doesn't actually appear in the Christian Scriptures. While discussing vital humanitarian issues like immigration, Pulosi said in her opening statement: "To minister to the needs of God's creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us." Preceding her quote, Pulosi admitted she has been unable to locate the verse in the Bible, although she claimed it can be found "someplace," suggesting in the book of Isaiah. However, the verse is not located in Isaiah, or anywhere else in the biblical canon for that matter. It's not clear where the quote originated. Pulosi attributed it to a "bishop," whom she did not identify. To be fair, though, the quote has clear biblical undertones. Prior to stating it, Pulosi quoted a famous passage found in the Gospel according to Matthew, the first book in the New Testament. In the passage, Jesus,  concluding his famous Olivet Discourse, tells a story about the separation of sheep and goats at the end of time. The sheep refer to those who care for the vulnerable — the hungry, the thirty, the poor, the foreigner, the imprisoned, the sick — while the goats refer to people who ignore the needs of the vulnerable. The sheep, Jesus said, "inherit the Kingdom," while the goats "will go away into eternal punishment."...  https://www.theblaze.com/news/nancy-pelosi-favorite-bible-verse?utm_content=buffer40a1b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=theblaze

VA Gov. & Lt. Gov. Caught in Their Own Demo Trap

by Thomas Gallatin:  Virginia Democrats find themselves caught in a pickle — a pickle their party is responsible for promoting and fostering. As calls continue to mount for Gov. Ralph Northam to resign over the revelation of a 1984 yearbook photo allegedly depicting him in either blackface or a KKK costume, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, who would succeed Northam, is now fighting for his political life as he attempts to push back on allegations of sexual assault.

On Sunday, conservative media outlet Big League Politics, the same outfit that first published the story on Northam, broke a story alleging that Fairfax sexually assaulted a Stanford fellow back in 2004 during the Democratic National Convention in Boston.

On Monday, Fairfax called the report false, noting that “not one other reputable media outlet has seen fit to air” it. But no less than The Washington Post pushed back against his assertions that the paper had found “red flags” with his accuser’s story. The paper insisted that the only reason the editors originally chose not to publish the story was due to the fact that they could not find any corroborating witnesses. Fairfax admitted that he and his accuser did have an encounter, but he insists that it was “consensual.” Mark Alexander observes, “All such claims are ‘behind closed doors’ and can’t be corroborated. Most of these cases depend on a pattern of behavior. If another woman comes forward, Fairfax is toast.” Fairfax first took to insinuating Northam had leaked the accusation before shifting blame to Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney, a possible competitor to Fairfax in 2021.

Initially, following the revelation of Northam’s racist 1984 yearbook photo, it appeared that Democrats were well positioned to deal with the fallout. They would get Northam to resign and then Fairfax, who just happens to be black, would step in as the “knight in shining armor” to save the day. It would reinforce Dems’ commitment to the Left’s grievance ethic, which affords no room for forgiveness or reconciliation. However, that notion quickly soured upon the revelation of sexual-assault allegations against Fairfax. And ironically, Democrats have only themselves to blame for weaponizing #MeToo’s flawed ethic of “always believe the victim” in their underhanded attempt to thwart Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

Now both Northam and Fairfax are damaged goods, serving as massive beacons of Democrat hypocrisy.  ~The Patriot Post

The president also took time to highlight a few of the many incredible achievements under his administration. Record-low unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanics, and women. Rising wages and tax cuts for working-class families. A historic bipartisan criminal justice reform bill to give non-violent offenders a second chance. Still, the speech stuck out because it challenged us as a nation to go even further. It challenged us to live up to our core values and advance bipartisan policies that give every American a chance to live the American  Dream. To be sure, the speech was not only a vision, but a realistic blueprint to achieve that vision...  https://dailycaller.com/2019/02/05/guilfoyle-trump-union/?utm_medium=email

{patrioticviralnews.com} ~ More than two years into the phony Russian Collusion investigation by Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller and his team of angry Democrats, they have yet to make their case... It’s been a witch hunt prompted by radical “resist” and “obstruct” Democrats to stop President Trump from restoring American prosperity. Each day the president wins on jobs, wins on trade agreements, and wins on the economy is another day that proves Democrats do not have solutions. The fake news media is now losing their minds because they have been led by the nose to report that the president and his family conspired with Russian strongman President Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election. Nothing could be further from the truth. In this video, new evidence has come to light that high-ranking Democrats duped CNN and other liberal media outlets that the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., acted as a go-between to collude with Russians. The very evidence that high-ranking Democrats used as bait for CNN and other anti-Trump media outlets has blown up in their face. Not only did Democrats pull the wool over CNN’s eyes, but they have also caused the network another significant moment of embarrassment. CNN is now in full damage control after their long-standing conspiracy theory about Russian Collusion has been thoroughly debunked. Watch CNN insiders scramble to come up with a new phony narrative in this priceless video.

'Russian Interference' Didn't Happen

{americanthinker.com} ~ t is important to repeat that there was no “Russian interference” in the 2016 elections. It was invented by the DNC, scumbag/liar-Hillary’s campaign, and the scumbag/liar-nObama administration... The so-called Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), a declassified version of which was published on Jan. 6, 2017, was cooked under the control of scumbag-James Clapper with the collaboration of scumbag/commie-John Brennan and scumbag-James Comey. The alleged interference contained two internet components. The big one was hacking. Podesta’s email account and the DNC and DCCC networks were indeed hacked. The DNC network was hacked many times. In April 2016, when Trump emerged as the expected Republican nominee, the DNC and the scumbag/liar-nObama administration started a joint attempt to spy on his campaign. In late April, the DNC suddenly “discovered” the hacking of its network, which it had been denying for at least nine months in response to the FBI’s warnings. Instead of fixing it using its own network administrators or hiring a reputable cybersecurity contractor, they hired CrowdStrike, known for making unsubstantiated claims  attributing network breaches to Russian and Chinese intelligence, and CrowdStrike incorrectly attributed the hack to Russian intelligence. For more than a month, the DNC then allowed what they thought was Russian intelligence to collect data from its network, while simultaneously rebuffing the FBI’s requests to help or to collect forensic evidence. The DNC probably intended to leak some of the collected data to the Trump campaign and then accuse Trump of colluding with Russia. The Democrats' thinking and internal activities were accidentally revealed in recent books by their allies. The DNC also asked the Ukrainian government to "investigate" Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort. The FBI apparently took part in that investigation. In June 2016, the FBI signed an evidence-sharing agreement with the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, and within two months a NY Times headlines announced that “Secret Ledger in Ukraine Lists Cash for Donald Trump’s Campaign Chief.” Later, that ledger was called a forgery. And a couple of months ago, a Ukrainian court ruled that those NACB activities were meddling in the U.S. elections. But the hacking/leaking part of the scheme failed. The DNC's dirty laundry was published by WikiLeaks without the participation of either the Russian government or the Trump campaign. The DNC decided to blame Russia and Trump anyway. Through CrowdStrike, the DNC gave the FBI whatever data and information supported its false attribution, and then it destroyed the remaining forensic evidence on June 10-11 CrowdStrike called that “expelling the intruder,” but a third-party description of the results of that activity is more consistent with the destruction of evidence hypothesis. Then the DNC had Steele insert the allegation of Russian intel hacking in collusion with Trump into his “report”: "TRUMP associate admits Kremlin behind recent appearance of DNC e-mails on WikiLeaks, as means of maintaining plausible deniability". The FBI was receiving Steele “reports” from July 5...

{jpost.com} ~ The most high-profile US ambassador in Europe, Richard Grenell, compared on Saturday the Islamic State's brutality... with the execution sprees in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The US ambassador to Germany wrote in the federal republic's largest circulation paper BILD: "The recent press reports, first carried by The Jerusalem Post, that the Iranian regime publicly hanged a 31-year-old man for being gay should be a wake-up call for anyone who supports basic human rights. Politicians, the UN, democratic governments, diplomats, and good people everywhere should speak up – and loudly," adding "Iran’s horrific actions are on par with the brutality and savagery regularly demonstrated by ISIS."  Islamic State has engaged in public executions of gay men, including tossing gay men from buildings.  Iran's mullah regime and the Islamic State despise the LGBT community and both prescribe capital punishment for gays and lesbians.  As of 2016, the LGBT human rights advocacy organization OutRight Action International documented 90 murders carried out by the Islamic State during the period 2014-2016. According to a 2008 British Wikileaks dispatch, the Islamic Republic of Iran executed “between 4,000 and 6,000 gays and lesbians” since the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran...

Dems Deny Economic Boom  
by Betsy McCaughey  

{spectator.org} ~ Democrats, now the majority in the House of Representatives, are trying to turn that body into the House of Resistance... They vowed to use the State of the Union to voice their claims that the nation is in bad shape, rigged to benefit only the rich.

Fact number 1: An amazing 304,000 jobs were created in January, according to Labor Department data, up from an average monthly gain of 223,000 in 2018 and 182,000 in 2017. A steady upward march. Too bad President Trump couldn’t invite all the new hires to attend his speech, so he could show off the impact of Trumponomics on real people who have to put food on the table and make mortgage payments. Fact number 2: Even those who had given up hope of finding a job are reentering the labor force. Employers are dropping requirements like college and prior experience. The labor participation rate for workers age 24 to 54 just hit its highest level since 2008. January’s job gains outstripped predictions. Many economists conclude this steep upward trend should put an end to fears of a recession in 2019, despite a slowdown in other parts of the world...

SOTU: 2019 Preview and 2018 Review
9w43ZS0zfZme9C8mAFG2SDCNnVh3e-KWuad0hmrRxNcPxvX8S-kxLwT6DOzQZrQ96WnSZ84O344C9o321U3fbWn9lk6FtZoy0FEevUstPColoFajPMmhI2Ob28rApwlsrzHYZkG674hbbyl6EZfNO0gFeuQhHeTSSbUOGsE=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
by Nate Jackson:  Now that all the gamesmanship regarding the shutdown and the schedule for the State of the Union is over, the pomp and circumstance is on schedule for tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern in the House chamber. The annual address has become an increasingly tedious affair, marked less by actual policy achievements or proposals than endless hours of cable-news churn about who sat on their hands, made what facial expression, or brought what guest.

Democrats have already made quite the show of trolling President Donald Trump with their announced guests. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) is bringing a Guatemalan woman who was fired from the Trump National Golf Club when it was discovered she was here illegally. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) welcomes a Guatemalan mother and daughter who were separated after trying to cross the border illegally. And Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) invited Ana Maria Archila, the scumbag-George Soros-funded professional protester who publicly harassed Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) during the Brett Kavanaugh fiasco.

Republicans also have statement guests, including Border Patrol agents. As for Trump, he’s invited Joshua Trump, a Delaware sixth-grader regularly bullied because of his name.

But the state of our union is far more than this ridiculous tit for tat. So as we prepare for tonight’s speech, let’s review highlights from last year’s SOTU.

Trump failed to reach agreement with Congress on proposals for infrastructure spending, paid family leave, or immigration reform. (As we’ve said before, both sides view immigration less as a problem to be solved than as a useful political cudgel. Until that changes, expect the stalemate to continue.) Iran and North Korea likewise remain in flux — though the president has made strides, Congress could not come to any meaningful agreement.

On the other hand, Trump succeeded in several areas. One partial success was signing an executive order making it easier to fire bad federal employees, though it was blocked by a federal judge (as are so many of Trump’s initiatives). But on that note, Trump has won Senate approval for more circuit-court judges in his first two years than any other president, and there are more in the wings. He signed the Right to Try Act so terminal patients can seek experimental medication, and he’s eased the FDA’s approval process for drugs, bringing the price of prescriptions down for the first time in 46 years. He increased military spending to rebuild our Armed Forces and protect America. And while he was merely able to boast at having passed major tax cuts last year, 2018 showed how well those cuts are working to fuel economic growth. The CBO even now projects those cuts will recover “costs” better than previously estimated.

Finally, the only excerpt released from his speech tonight is telling: “Together we can break decades of political stalemate. We can bridge old divisions, heal old wounds, build new coalitions, forge new solutions, and unlock the extraordinary promise of America’s future. The decision is ours to make.” Trump’s call for unity will probably be met with Democrats sitting on their hands. If not, Stacie Abrams will eviscerate it in her SOTU response.  ~The Patriot Post

{theconservativetreehouse.com} ~ Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announces  he is “especially proud” of passage for his amendments requiring the U.S. military to continue operations... in Afghanistan and Syria:  The bill passed 77-yea, 23-nea. The only Republican who voted against perpetual war in the middle east and supported President Trump was Rand Paul. Every time this happens victims of battered conservative syndrome start a process of reconciling the reason for their abuse by excusing and justifying their abuser, Mitch McConnell. Let’s be clear, CTH has watched this process, on a very granular level, for well over a decade;  specifically about Senator McConnell.  Mitch McConnell doesn’t give a hoot what any voter, constituent, or member of the national electorate thinks about his action. He is entirely unfazed and bound to a power ideology that sets him above all considerations...  https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/02/05/senator-mitch-mcconnell-announces-he-is-especially-proud-of-legislation-rebuking-president-trump/

{freebeacon.com} ~ An international who's who of global leaders is scheduled to meet in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday to discuss with the Trump administration next steps to deal a death blow to the ISIS terrorist group... and thwart the Iranian regime's military intervention across the Middle East, according to senior State Department officials. Leaders from 75 nations and four international organizations will gather at the State Department for meetings with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and other high-level Trump administration officials as the global coalition plans its next moves in the ongoing fight against ISIS. Iran is expected to be one of the primary topics of these meetings as international allies coalesce around a policy of isolating the Islamic Republic and working to stop its support for international terrorist groups, particularly those backing embattled Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. In all the discussions centered on ISIS, Iran has emerged as a "key" source of frustration and worry, according to senior State Department officials...

{freebeacon.com} ~ Rep. scumbag-Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) suggested during an event in New Hampshire on Monday that President Donald Trump is a bigger threat to the United States than Vladimir Putin's Russia... "One of the most difficult conclusions for me in the last two years as I looked into Russia’s meddling in our affairs, as well as the growing trend towards autocracy around the world, is the realization that the threat to our democracy right now is most pronounced from within," scumbag-Schiff said in remarks reported by Inside Sources scumbag-Schiff, speaking at a Politics and Eggs event in Bedford, affirmed his intention as the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence to counter an "unethical president" and what he says has been an ineffectual Congress. "We have a deeply  unethical president who is not committed to these institutions of our democracy, and a Congress that in the last two years has been utterly unwilling to stand up to him. This combination has our republic and its democracy trembling. Trembling," scumbag-Schiff told the audience of Granite State business leaders and political activists. scumbag-Schiff expanded on his criticism of the Trump administration in an interview with Inside Sources after he finished speaking... Then the scumbag should move to Russia and still can't prove that Russia was medding in our eletions.

How Terrorists, NGOs Promoting 
BDS Work Together to Attack Israel

{freebeacon.com} ~ In a 2007 decision, a judge on Israel's Supreme Court described Shawan Jabarin, director of the Palestinian non-governmental organization al-Haq, as a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,"... acting sometimes as the head of a human rights organization, and other times as an "operative in an organization which has no qualms regarding murder and attempted murder." The judge was referring to Jabarin's extensive history as a senior member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, or PFLP, which Israel, Canada, the United States, and the European Union have all designated as a terrorist organization. The group is responsible for several gruesome attacks against Jews and Israelis, and has even killed  Americans. Yet Jabarin now runs a prominent NGO that not only promotes the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel and works with others that do the same, but also employs other former PFLP operatives, some in senior positions, who have served prison sentences for terrorist activity. The case of Jabarin and al-Haq is just one of more than 100 links that Israel's Ministry of Strategic Affairs found between PFLP and Hamas, the terrorist organization in control of Gaza, and NGOs that promote the BDS movement, some of which are financed by European countries and philanthropic foundations. The ministry presented its findings in a new report titled, "Terrorists in Suits: The Ties Between NGOs Promoting BDS and Terrorist Organizations." The report makes clear what fair-minded people should already know: the BDS movement is not social justice or political activism; rather, it is an attack on Jewish sovereignty, in which efforts to demonize and delegitimize replace the military campaigns of old. The end goal, however, remains the same. "The BDS campaign involves a network of non-governmental organizations, a number of which have close ties to designated terrorist organizations, most prominently Hamas and PFLP," the report states. "Terrorist organizations see the ‘civilian' struggle against Israel—demonstrations, marches, fundraising, political lobbying, and the so-called ‘peace' flotillas—as a complementary effort of their armed attacks against the state of Israel."...  https://freebeacon.com/blog/how-terrorists-ngos-promoting-bds-work-together-attack-israel/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=c3c8756a9f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_02_05_09_38_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-c3c8756a9f-45611665

by Media Editors:  The vast majority of people who watched President Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address came away with positive vibes, CBS News reports. In fact, “Seventy-six percent of Americans who tuned in … Tuesday night approved of the speech he gave. Just 24 percent disapproved.” More specifically, while just 30% of Democrats approved, that number jumps to 97% for Republicans and even 82% for independents. And here are 13 fact-checks from The Daily Signal.
.
Among those in attendance last night were three D-Day veterans. President Trump stated, “Here with us tonight are three of those heroes: Private First Class Joseph Reilly, Staff Sergeant Irving Locker, and Sergeant Herman Zeitchik. Gentlemen, we salute you.” (The Daily Signal)
.
$1 trillion deficits are on the horizon, but that was conspicuously omitted from the State of the Union. “The deficit is not a sexy issue and it’s not something that’s likely to get solved quickly,” says Reason. “And, of course, talking about something in the State of the Union Address is not the same as actually doing  something. Still, the talking matters.”
.
Elizabeth “Fauxcahontas” dinky-Warren’s claims of having Native American heritage haven’t gone over well with most people, which even resulted in her apologizing to the Cherokee Nation. But she now finds her reputation even more tarnished. In 1986, the senator “claimed American Indian ancestry in her application for the State Bar of Texas,” The Daily Wire reports. Is her presidential campaign already tomahawked?
.
Tax reform for the win: “On Tuesday, ExxonMobil announced it would invest a whopping $10 billion in America’s infrastructure as it develops the Golden Pass liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility in Sabine Pass. According to Exxon Mobil, ‘Construction will begin in the first quarter of 2019 and the facility is expected to start up in 2024.’” (The Daily Wire)
.
“The U.S. government is preparing to begin construction of more border walls and fencing in South Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, likely on federally owned land set aside as wildlife refuge property,” according to the Associated Press. “Congress last March approved more than $600 million for 33 miles (53 kilometers) of new barriers in the Rio Grande Valley. While President Donald Trump and top Democrats remain in a standoff over Trump’s demand for $5.7 billion in border wall funding, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has pushed ahead with building what’s already funded.”
.
Abortion crackdown? “A boring, low-stress Supreme Court term just got substantially more interesting,” National Review’ David French writes. “Within two short days, we may learn a great deal about Justice Kavanaugh’s approach to abortion rights and about the willingness of the Court to roll back recent, abortion-friendly jurisprudence.”
.
“Pope Francis acknowledged for the first time on Tuesday that priests and bishops have sexually abused nuns and several of those clergy have been suspended. Some clergy have abused nuns to the point of ‘sexual slavery,’ the pope said, adding that the Church is addressing the problem and ‘for some time we’ve been working on it.’” (National Review)
.
Village academic curriculum: “New Jersey will be the second state to mandate that middle and high school students learn about LGBTQ contributions. Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy signed Senate Bill 1569, which requires schools to adopt curriculums that ‘accurately portray political, economic, and social contributions of persons with disabilities and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.’” (The Daily Caller)
.
Humor: Nancy Pulosi blinks “Please send help” in morse code during the State of the Union (The Babylon Bee)
.
Policy: Now that the U.S. is abrogating the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty over Russia’s rule-breaking, what’s next? The Heritage Foundation’s Thomas Callender offers up “The Way Forward for the United States in a Post-INF World.”
.
Policy: This week, Sen. scumbag-Patty Murray single-handedly quashed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which addresses the Democrats’ new tolerance for infanticide. Alexandra DeSanctis explains “Why a Ban on Infanticide Is Necessary” in National Review.
.
Policy: Heritage Foundation experts weighed in with analysis of the president’s policy proposals. Here’s what they had to say on immigration, the economy, law, defense and foreign policy, life, energy and infrastructure, health care, and education.

{thepoliticalinsider.com} ~ It’s not often we get to say President Donald Trump earned rave reviews for anything – but Trump earned near-universal praise for his State of the Union speech Tuesday evening... Despite a media that will no doubt quibble over every word and phrase, and even revise their take and the general feeling of the American people days afterward, Trump earned high marks for the speech before Congress. The address earned ovation after ovation from his Republican colleagues but was probably most notable for actually getting Nancy Pulosi to applaud several times, for Democrat women standing up and celebrating the successes of their gender under this administration, and even an off-script moment where the entire chamber sang Happy Birthday to a Holocaust survivor, conducted by the President himself. The President is bound to get a major bump in approval coming out of this and as we head for another showdown over budgets and the border wall late next week. A CBS News poll indicated that 76 percent of Americans approved of the speech. And with that border-wall fight lingering, Democrats will be most dismayed to learn that a staggering 72 percent agreed with the President’s ideas to tackle legal and illegal immigration...

{jpost.com} ~ Iran warned Israel on Tuesday of a "firm and appropriate" response if it continued attacking targets in Syria... where Tehran has backed President Bashar Assad and his forces in their nearly eight-year war against rebels and militants. Israel, which views Iran as its biggest security threat, has repeatedly attacked Iranian targets and those of allied militia in Syria. With an  election looming in April, Israel has been increasingly open about carrying out its air strikes.  In a meeting with Syria's Foreign Minister Walid al-Moalem in Tehran, the secretary of Iran's National Security Council Ali Shamkhani said the Israeli attacks violated Syria's territorial integrity and were "unacceptable". "If these actions continue, we will activate some calculated measures as a deterrent and as a firm and appropriate response to teach a lesson to the criminal and lying rulers of Israel," Shamkhani was quoted as saying by Fars news agency. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last month that Israeli forces would continue to attack Iranians in Syria and warned them to "get out of there" fast...  https://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Iran-vows-to-teach-Israel-a-lesson-as-response-to-strikes-in-Syria-579751?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=21-2-2018&utm_content=iran-vows-to-teach-israel-a-lesson-as-response-to-strikes-in-syria-579751

The Senate Intelligence Committee obtained phone records showing Donald Trump Jr. did not speak to then-candidate Donald Trump from a blocked telephone number in the days leading up to that meeting, CNN first reported. This new information contradicts scumbag-Schiff’s theory, which is also held by many other Democrats, that Trump Jr. was in contact with his father about the meeting with Russians who had offered dirt on scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton.

by National Security Desk:  President Donald Trump announced on Friday that the U.S. will withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) missile treaty it formed with the former Soviet Union and subsequent Russian Federation in 1987. The reason for the decision, Trump noted, was due to the fact that Russia had failed to uphold its end of the bargain. “We cannot be the only country in the world unilaterally bound by this treaty, or any other,” Trump declared.

He further added, “For arms control to effectively contribute to national security, all parties must faithfully implement their obligations. We stand ready to engage with Russia on arms control negotiations that meet these criteria, and, importantly, once that is done, develop, perhaps for the first time ever, an outstanding relationship on economic, trade, political and military levels. This would be a fantastic thing for Russia and the United States, and would also be great for the world.”

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo explained, “We provided Russia an ample window of time to mend its ways and for Russia to honor its commitment. Tomorrow that time runs out.” On Saturday, the U.S. formally notified Moscow that it is in “material breach” of the INF treaty and announced our withdrawal. Pompeo further noted that our NATO allies have “stood with us in our mission to uphold the rule of law and protect our people.”

This decision has been a long time coming, as the U.S. first accused Russia of failing to live up to the agreement in 2014 and has subsequently attempted 35 times to diplomatically encourage Moscow’s compliance — to no avail. So much for “collusion.”  ~The Patriot Post
