9th Circuit Court strikes down federal law 

against encouraging illegal immigration

by Sudhin Thanawala

{washingtontimes.com} ~ A U.S. appeals court struck down a federal immigration law Tuesday that opponents warned could be used to criminalize a wide range of statements involving illegal immigration... The law made it a felony for someone to encourage an immigrant to enter or live in the U.S. if the person knew either act is illegal. The law violates the First Amendment because it criminalizes a substantial amount of protected speech, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said. The statute, for example, would make it illegal for a grandmother to urge her grandson to ignore limits on his visa by encouraging him to stay in the U.S., Judge A. Wallace Tashima said. In addition, a speech addressed to a crowd that encouraged everyone in the country illegally to stay here could also lead to a criminal prosecution, Tashima said. “Criminalizing expression like this threatens almost anyone willing to weigh in on the debate,” he said. A message to the Justice Department was not immediately returned...  https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/dec/4/9th-circuit-court-strikes-down-federal-law-against/?utm_source=Boomtrain&utm_medium=manual&utm_campaign=20180326&utm_term=newsalert&utm_content=newsalert&bt_ee=rUn3CurcJZZi0%2F4XTn%2BoXscta4XcgDMZJFDM2CkW7r5N4kcAJMhExPAJb42A0gIb&bt_ts=1543962941613

Brazil’s Trumpian Turn

by GEORGE NEUMAYR

{spectator.org} ~ Liberal cranks over the years have hissed that Republicans in the United States win on “God, guns, and gays.”... In Brazil, notes the UK Spectator, they hiss that “fascists” have returned to power on a platform of “beef, bibles, and bullets.” Brazil’s president-elect, Jair Bolsonaro, is the “Trump of the tropics,” warns the media. But Brazilians, exhausted by years of failed leftism, don’t appear too worried, according to the Spectator, which noted this telling anecdote: When Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters gave a concert in São Paulo recently and broadcast an anti-Bolsonaro message to his audience, they booed him roundly for a quarter of an hour. He had miscalculated: fans wealthy enough to afford a ticket for his show would be Bolsonaro voters. Brazilians feel that only they can understand the peculiar afflictions of their country and there is irritation that others should see fit to give them a homily. Hard times call for strong measures. The country has made its choice, and it has voted for military discipline over a corrupt leftwing regime with no answer to the gang-violence of its streets. It has been easy to play on voters’ fears: the homicide level in some Brazilian cities is high enough to meet the UN’s criterion for low-intensity civil war. Most of the news coming out of Brazil in recent days sounds promising: Bolsonaro has canceled a climate change summit for next year in Rio, seeing it as costly and an ideologically histrionic waste of time; he has named a foreign minister who forthrightly rejects the pro-abortion claptrap of the international community and dismisses enviro activism as Marxism by other means; Bolsonaro is getting into squabbles with Cuban and Venezuelan commies, signaling that the country will unlatch itself from the region’s vest of suicidal leftism. Naturally, this leaves the Western liberal elite fretful. It had grown accustomed to Brazilian leftism. How dare Bolsonaro’s aides stain the honor of China — that was the ludicrous tone of the media’s coverage of his appointment of a top diplomat who dared to blog that China’s climate change activism is a Marxist crock of the first order, an obvious attempt to goad Western economies into destroying themselves on the altar of idiotic and ineffectual “green” sacrifices. The lefty Guardian harrumphed that “South America’s biggest nation,” with, my gosh, “the greatest and most biodiverse forest on Earth, the Amazon,” has now fallen into the hands of such right-wing cretins as Ernesto Araujo, Bolsonaro’s choice for foreign minister. We are supposed to be very frightened that Araujo considers the greenies “anti-Christian” and useful idiots for anti-Western countries, who peddle a dogma that “has been used to justify increasing the regulatory power of states over the economy and the power of international institutions on the nation states and their populations, as well as to stifle economic growth in democratic capitalist countries and to promote the growth of China.”...  https://spectator.org/brazils-trumpian-turn/?utm_source=American+Spectator+Emails&utm_campaign=ae3cdaed31-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_12_04_09_37&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-ae3cdaed31-104608113

This Little-Known Terror Group Poses 

a Greater Threat Than ISIS in Syria

by James Phillips

{dailysignal.com} ~ The war in Syria is heating up again this week after recently subsiding from the front pages of newspapers... On Sunday, Russia claimed that rebels in northwestern Syria had fired shells filled with chlorine gas near the city of Aleppo. Although the rebels have not demonstrated such a chemical capability in the past, Syria’s Assad regime has repeatedly used illegal chemical weapons to demoralize insurgents and stampede their civilian supporters away from the front. Moscow could use this alleged incident as a pretext to resume the postponed offensive against Idlib province, the last major stronghold of Syria’s fractious rebel coalition. Already, Russia has resumed airstrikes in Idlib for the first time since the Sept. 17 Sochi agreement between Russia and Turkey produced a tenuous cease-fire. Syria’s Assad regime, which is committed to retaking “every inch” of Syria, also escalated artillery attacks on rebel-held towns in southern Idlib. The fragile cease-fire in Idlib, which from the beginning was violated by factions on both sides of the conflict, is on the verge of breaking down. Syrian forces, backed by Russia and Iran, may soon resume their postponed offensive, which would trigger a humanitarian crisis and generate another flood of Syrian refugees...

The Caravan is Heading in The 

Wrong Direction, Panama is South

by SIMON DAILY

{thepatriotchronicles.com} ~ There are still more migrants heading this way. Even the MSM has reported that the caravan is mostly comprised of male job-seekers... They have given up on their claim that the migrants are all asylum-seeking victims. We are not going to allow the majority of the migrants in anytime soon and their attack on the border has not sped up the process. “Despite the bleatings of the no-borders crowd, America need not welcome anyone and everyone who barges in. This Republic is less like a catch-all community college and more like a prestigious university that may receive or reject whomever it wishes. If Georgetown, NYU, and Stanford may decide whom to admit, America should be at least as selective. Conversely, if the Left truly hates borders, then its elite educational bastions immediately should open themselves to everyone who can storm in and snag classroom seats.” But the caravan still has other avenues to take. Mexico is still offering opportunities and a ride home if they are not willing to wait. The other option that these migrants should really think about is Panama. “But rather than north, Guatemalans, Hondurans, and Salvadorans should caravan south — to Panama. It’s the wealthiest country between the U.S. and Colombia. So maybe these folks should seek better lives there...  https://thepatriotchronicles.com/news-for-you/the-caravan-is-heading-in-the-wrong-direction-panama-is-south/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=subscriber_id:801553&utm_campaign=TPC%20-%20The%20Caravan%20Is%20Heading%20In%20The%20Wrong%20Direction,%20Panama%20Is%20South

Not To Be

by SCOTT MCKAY

{spectator.org} ~ Nationally, what John Neely Kennedy is known for is his status as The Nation’s Most Quotable Senator, and his short cable news appearances have rapidly made him a go-to for sound bites... and hot takes on current events. But in Louisiana, from which he hails, Kennedy has become better known as the likely Republican candidate to right the demographic wrong of 2015, when John Bel Edwards emerged from an unusual set of circumstances to win the state’s gubernatorial race and become the only Democrat governor of a Deep South state. For months Kennedy openly toyed with an entry into the Louisiana gubernatorial race, which will take place next year with a jungle primary in October and a runoff in November. He has inserted himself ubiquitously in state political issues to the consternation of Edwards and his camp, he’s trashed members of Edwards’ administration — for example, after a legislative audit in November turned up $86 million in waste from the state’s Medicaid program Kennedy called the Louisiana Department of Health “lazy” and demanded the resignation of its secretary Rebekah Gee — and he’s gratuitously suggested he would be announcing a run against Edwards. Kennedy even announced a date by which he would be deciding on a gubernatorial run. He gave December 1 as his deadline to decide. And prior to that date his camp put out the word in Republican circles around the state that the other potential hopefuls — state Attorney General Jeff Landry, for example, or state senator Sharon Hewitt, U.S. Rep. Ralph Abraham, multimillionaire businessman Eddie Rispone or Louisiana Association of Business and Industry president Stephen Waguespack — were either unqualified or politically incapable of beating Edwards. Kennedy’s preparations were so complete that politicos around the state had been scooped up for a prospective run. Kennedy even released polling data showing that he would beat Edwards in a head-to-head race. Landry and Waguespack both responded by publicly vacating the race, citing a need for Republicans to galvanize around a single candidate in opposition to the incumbent. But last week Kennedy moved his deadline back, from Saturday to Monday. And amid rumors that he was getting cold feet about running, the Senator then announced Monday morning that his “to be or not to be” deliberations were concluded in the negative. Virtually everyone within the Louisiana GOP seethed over the decision, while asking “Now what?”...   https://spectator.org/not-to-be/?utm_source=American+Spectator+Emails&utm_campaign=ae3cdaed31-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_12_04_09_37&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-ae3cdaed31-104608113

China, NAFTA, and the Trade Trump Card

by Lewis Morris:  During the G20 summit in Buenos Aires, President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to a 90-day truce in the “trade war” between the two countries while negotiators attempt to iron out an agreement over tariffs, intellectual property theft, cybercrime, and other matters.

             The move came as the U.S. was prepared to enter another level of escalation by raising tariffs on Chinese imports from 10% to 25%. In return, China will purchase a “very substantial” amount of U.S. agricultural, energy, and industrial products “immediately.” No one yet knows how immediately or how substantial China’s purchases will be, but business and political leaders were optimistic about the developments.
               The Business Roundtable called on the White House to bring in other trading partners to create an international consensus in dealing with China.
               This might be a good idea. China is not known for keeping its word when it comes to trade and protection issues, and it has flouted U.S. complaints about its shady trade practices before. However, if the EU and Japan backed the U.S. in these disputes, the Chinese might think twice about breaking the rules.
               The National Retail Federation said it was a good thing that the administration decided to “give diplomacy a chance.” This was a sentiment echoed by the media and other business groups. What these organizations don’t admit is that Trump had to get tough with China for diplomacy to even be considered an option. Many previous presidents have paid lip service to getting tough with China, only to shrug and go back to business as usual once the TV cameras turn elsewhere.
               Tariffs are not productive in the long run. In the end, they are just another tax that (American) consumers must pay for goods and services. However, Trump recognized that something had to be done about America’s trade imbalance with China, and he used the tools at his disposal to get Beijing to the bargaining table. By doing so, he was really returning fire in a trade war in which the U.S. had effectively unilaterally disarmed. Trump’s moves did enough to China’s economy to get Xi to agree to a truce.
               The tariffs on China are not just about trade alone, which makes it a little easier to appreciate Trump’s actions. He’s using tariffs to put political as well as economic pressure on the Chinese. China has been setting itself up to become a  hegemonic power in Asia, but it’s once superhuman economy has been showing strain and frustrating its plans.
               Trump has exploited this, reminding the Chinese that the U.S. is still the premier power in the world. He has also encouraged the Chinese to lean on North Korea so that  denuclearization efforts will bear fruit. China is the only friend Kim Jung-un has, and going through Beijing to get to Pyongyang increases the likelihood that Trump can get North Korea to give up its nuclear program.
               The China tariff truce wasn’t the only good trade news Trump brought back from Argentina. Leaders of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico signed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Mexico’s legislature is expected to ratify the treaty right away. Canada promises to do so after the U.S. Congress passes the agreement.
               House Republicans have been encouraged to pass the treaty before the Democrats take over in January, as it’s unclear what House Democrats will do with the deal. It’s not above sick-Nancy Pulosi to sink it for no other reason than stick it to Trump. Dems have declared that there are provisions in the trade deal that they do not like, but the changes in the new agreement are in line with what would ordinarily please Democrat constituents. But these aren’t ordinary times.
               Meanwhile, Trump suggested that he would formally pull out of NAFTA, forcing Democrats to either take up the new agreement or go back to at least some pre-1994 trade rules in North America. That may be a bluff, but it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility that sick-Pulosi wouldn’t call it.
               Democrats have proven time and again that their hatred for Trump supersedes everything. They will do whatever they can to defeat his chances for reelection in 2020. Trashing a favorable trade deal would be just one more stepping stone toward that goal.
               Despite his threat to scrap NAFTA early, Trump claims to be optimistic that he can work out the new trade agreement with Congress. We’ll see.  ~The Patriot Post

Graham: CIA Briefing Confirmed Crown 

Prince Ordered Khashoggi’s Murder

by JACK CROWE

{nationalreview.com} ~ Senator Lindsey Graham said Tuesday that a briefing with CIA director Gina Haspel had confirmed his initial belief that Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered... and dismembered at the direction of Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman. “I left the briefing with high confidence that my initial confidence is correct,” Graham told reporters after exiting the briefing. Graham, who led the bipartisan call for the White House to allow Haspel to brief lawmakers after she was reportedly barred from a briefing last week, said bin Salman’s role in Khashoggi’s assassination disqualified him as a potential diplomatic partner to the U.S. “Saudi Arabia is a strategic ally, and the relationship is worth saving. But not at all costs. . . . Mohammad bin Salman is a wrecking ball. I think he is complicit in the murder of Khashoggi in the highest level possible. . . . I cannot see him being a reliable partner to the US,” Graham said. Asked if there was a key piece of intelligence that convinced him his initial assesment of bin Salman’s culpability was correct, Graham responded that while there is “no smoking gun,” there is a “smoking saw,” presumably referring to the bone saw that is said to have been used to dismember Khashoggi so that Saudi operatives could carry his remains out of the Saudi embassy in Istanbul where he was murdered...  https://www.nationalreview.com/news/lindsey-graham-cia-briefing-confirmed-crown-prince-ordered-jamal-khashoggis-murder/

dirty cop-Mueller BUSTED Hiding 

Evidence That Exonerates Trump

by Steve Straub

{thefederalistpapers.org} ~ Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller was just busted hiding evidence regarding Michael Cohen’s guilty plea... that exonerates President Trump. Here’s what we know per Real Clear Politics via Powerline: dirty cop-Mueller omitted the fact that Cohen did not have any direct points of contact at the Kremlin, and had resorted to sending the emails to Vladimir Putin’s general press mailbox. Sources who have seen this omitted information say it undercuts the idea of a “back channel” and thus the special counsel’s collusion case. The same criminal information document holds additional exculpatory evidence for Trump, sources say. It quotes an August 2017 letter from Cohen to the Senate intelligence committee in which he states that Trump “was never in contact with anyone about this Moscow Project proposal other than me.” This section of Cohen’s written testimony, unlike other parts, is not disputed as false by dirty cop-Mueller...  https://thefederalistpapers.org/opinion/mueller-busted-hiding-evidence-exonerates-trump

Caravan migrants begin to breach border as frustration

with slow asylum process grows

by Lukas Mikelionis  

{foxnews.com} ~ At least two dozen Central American migrants -- who claim they're disillusioned and frustrated with the asylum-seeking process... breached the U.S.-Mexico border  Monday just before dusk by scaling a 10-foot metal fence, witnesses say. They were observed using blankets and ropes to help climb over the structure separating California from Tijuana, where thousands of migrants have been gathering in recent days. Other migrants managed to squeeze through a section of the fence on the coastal city's beach, according to Reuters. Some migrants reportedly tried to escape capture by the U.S. Border Patrol, but most were caught. It remains unclear Tuesday how many of the migrants -- if any at all -- managed to escape detention. Karen Mayeni, a 29-year-old Honduran mother with three children between six and 12 years old, told Reuters she was only observing others penetrating the border and was “waiting to see what happens.” The woman will decide her family's next action “in a couple of days,” she said. About 90 minutes later, however, she and her children were seen on the U.S. side of the border, Reuters reported...

Antifa Open Carrying In Seattle Protest?

by Tom Knighton

{bearingarms.com} ~ Things are getting ugly with Antifa. The group is known to be violent. Riots tend to follow them most of the places they go... The only thing that typically keeps them in check is the presence of firearms by their opponents. These are people who believe that their ends totally justifies any means they deem necessary. And it now seems they’re armed. This was a surreal moment: @SeattlePD officer came up and said I was “inciting conflict” and potential violence just by being there. If my physical presence in a public space makes someone else want to become violent, the problem is not with me. pic.twitter.com/08wM5KXwx0 — Andy C.

CNN PRESIDENT ZUCKER: I’m 

'Very Interested' in Running for Office

by David Rutz

{freebeacon.com} ~ CNN President Jeff Zucker said in a newly released interview he is "very interested in politics" and is considering running for office someday... On his podcast "The Axe Files," ex-scumbag/liar-nObama administration official David Axelrod asked Zucker where he thought he would be in five years. "With regard to be where I'll be in five years … I don’t know for sure where I’ll be but here’s the two things I do know: if the Miami Dolphins call, that’s where I’ll be," Zucker said near the end of their interview. "And number two, I still harbor somewhere in my gut that I’m still very interested in politics." "You turned down an opportunity to work for scumbag-Al Gore in 2000," Axelrod said. "You've talked in the past about potentially running for office." "So, I’m still interested in that, and it’s something I would consider," Zucker said...

SCOTUS Rejects Ecofascist Challenge to Border Wall

by Thomas Gallatin:  A gaggle of three ecofascist groups just saw their hopes of preventing President Donald Trump from constructing a border wall based upon their environmental “concerns” rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court. The justices refused to take up the case in which California Federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel had ruled in February in favor of Trump. Curiel determined that the president had not exceeded his powers and had the legal authority to waive environmental laws based upon a 1996 law that was designed to stem illegal immigration.

             In his ruling, Curiel quoted Chief Justice John Roberts: “Court(s) are vested with the authority to interpret the law; we possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgements. Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation’s elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.” That was Roberts’s opinion in upholding ObamaCare despite clear constitutional reasons to strike it down, so Curiel’s choice of a quote was … interesting.
               It’s important to note that it takes the approval of only four justices for a case to be heard before the High Court. Thus, the fact that not even four justices agreed to hear arguments sends the message that this case — obviously aimed at stymying Trump’s immigration-enforcement agenda — didn’t meet muster even for the Court’s left wing.
               This is a clear win for Trump. It’s also ironic given that it originated with Curiel, a judge Trump previously criticized in a 2016 lawsuit regarding his now-defunct Trump University. At the time, Trump accused Curiel of being biased due to his Mexican heritage. But Curiel acted as any good judge should — upon the merits of the case as it relates to the law and not upon personal animus or bias.
               Whether Trump gets congressional funding to build the wall is another matter entirely, but at least this roadblock cooked up by anti-Trump ecofascists has been removed.  ~The Patriot Post

Trump legal team makes case to prosecute scumbag-Comey,

others for lying after Cohen guilty plea

{washingtontimes.com} ~ Former and current members of President Trump’s legal team have compiled research to make the case that former  FBI Director scumbag-James B. Comey  misled Congress... in his testimony and is not a reliable witness for special counsel  dirty cop-Robert Mueller. The lawyers last year tried to persuade Mr. dirty cop-Mueller to investigate Mr. scumbag-Comey, his former colleague, to no avail. The Trump-scumbag-Comey war took on new dimensions last week as Mr. dirty cop-Mueller won a guilty plea from former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, who admitted to lying to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence about a proposed election-year Trump Organization Moscow hotel deal. “The Cohen plea of lying to Congress by the special counsel raises the very serious question as to why the special counsel has refused to investigate and prosecute the false statements and testimony of scumbag-James Comey, the main accuser of the president, before the Senate Judiciary and intel committees,” former Trump attorney John Dowd told The Washington Times...

CNS Editor-in-Chief Terry Jeffrey on Hannity's Show:

Build the Border Wall--It Is Morally Superior

by Michael Morris

{cnsnews.com} ~ CNSNews.com Editor-in-Chief Terry Jeffrey appeared on Sean Hannity's nationally syndicated radio talk show on Friday... to talk about securing the southern border of the United States. Jeffrey argued that building an unbreachable wall at the border would be morally superior to enforcing the border through confrontations between Border Patrol agents and would-be illegal crossers. “If you’re not going to have a wall stopping people, then what you’re saying is what you’d prefer is a confrontation between U.S. border patrol agents and alien smugglers and drug smugglers and other people who are willfully, illegally crossing our border,” said Jeffrey. “The superior option is build the wall; don’t have the confrontation.” To illustrate his point, Jeffrey referred to a statement that Rodney Scott, the chief Border Patrol agent in the San Diego sector, made in an appearance on Fox News, in which Scott said that when caravan migrants approached the U.S. border near San Diego “not a single migrant climbed over" the eight miles of new border wall that have been constructed there...  https://www.cnsnews.com/blog/michael-morris/cnsnewscom-editor-chief-sean-hannity-build-wall-dont-have-confrontation-border?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiT1RNMVlqUmhOemN5WkRRMiIsInQiOiI4cTVIVmVZa1hiSFJ2VGYyUlhcLzlReGNENEFGNjJBYUo2T1JVVUtRWnRDZXdkSVEwdURHbkM0c3pCZ2kyVjhmZ01hVGJBNjBnZ0lxZWlcL3ZNdGhIK0tNV0IwODNoYWNoVEY1dkV4bVwvYjd4QkNGeWVoNG50ekhWUEJCcnpvTmF5eiJ9

Democrats Agree to Two-Week Stopgap Funding Bill

by Jim E

{thepoliticalinsider.com} ~ Democrat congressional leaders have reportedly agreed to a two-week funding bill to avoid a government shutdown this Friday... President Trump was previously threatening to withhold his support for a funding bill that doesn’t include at least $5 billion for his border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. However, that request has been put on hold due to the recent death of former President George H.W. Bush, whose funeral and attendant mourning ceremonies will occur this week. President Trump has put off the spending fight in lieu of Bush’s death, keeping the focus on honoring his Republican predecessor. But in order to do so, he is insisting on a temporary spending bill to offset Friday’s shutdown deadline. And it appears Democrats just gave in on the request. From Politico: Democratic Hill leaders appear likely to support a two-week government funding bill, according to two sources familiar with the discussions. This timeline puts the funding fight up against Christmas. An announcement could come as soon as this afternoon...  https://thepoliticalinsider.com/funding-bill-government/?utm_campaign=TPI_Afternoon_Newsletter_12_3_2018&utm_source=criticalimpact&utm_medium=email&utm_content=4b4ea4948726422aa6473c7b9fa19141&source=CI

'Ballot harvesting' – a sure-fire way for Dems to win 

by Chad Groening and Jody Brown

{onenewsnow.com} ~ A conservative columnist agrees with House Speaker Paul Ryan in questioning the legitimacy of California's vote-counting process... It's called "ballot harvesting" – and it's illegal in most states. But the practice was legal for the first time in California this year. It allows a third party to collect completed "vote by mail" ballots from voters and then hand them over to election officials. The legislation states that: "... A vote by mail voter who is unable to return the ballot by mail or in person may designate any person to return the ballot to the elections official who issued the ballot, to the precinct board at a polling place or vote center within the state, or to a vote by mail ballot dropoff location within the state ...." (Assembly Bill 1921) That new law has caused Ryan, the outgoing Speaker of the House, to question the legitimacy of several California congressional races last month, adding to the contention of many Republicans that the state's election procedures are flawed. "We had a lot of wins that night, and three weeks later we lost basically every contested California race. This election system they have? I can't begin to understand what ballot harvesting is," Ryan told The Washington Post... This "ballot harvesting" is illegal according to our constitution.

Teaching Americans to Despise America

by Arnold Ahlert:  “Congratulations to the leftists who’ve taken over the nation’s public education system. They’re now producing generations of Americans who know little about their own country, other than that they hate it.” —editorial, Investor’s Business Daily

             Investor’s Business Daily is referring to the latest YouGov poll conducted by the Foundation for Liberty and American Greatness (FLAG). It questioned 1,078 Americans aged 14 and up about their knowledge of America’s history, institutions and patriotism, and one suspects most Patriot Post readers know where this is going. Like this writer, regular readers at this site are beginning to realize that younger generations of Americans increasingly see us all as anachronistic pariahs with wholly illegitimate values that must be “fundamentally transformed” — out of existence. The idea expressed by John Adams that our Constitution “was made only for a moral and religious people” and is “wholly inadequate to the government of any other” no longer resonates.
               Today, morality is “relative,” religion is for “bitter clingers,” and it’s likely a majority of young Americans have never heard of John Adams. Older generations of Americans have been reduced to being proverbial keepers of the flame, hoping this nation can outlast the tsunami of orchestrated ignorance so all-encompassing that even “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” is cannon-fodder for the terminally offended.
               Thus, the survey’s key findings are completely unsurprising:

• Half of those surveyed believe the United States is sexist (50%) and racist (49%)
• 46% of younger Americans do not agree that “America is the greatest country in the world”
• 38% of younger Americans do not agree that “America has a history that we should be proud of”
• One in eight (14%) of Millennials agree that “America was never a great country and it never will be”
• 46% of younger Americans agree that “America is more racist than other countries”
• 84% of Americans do not know the specific rights enumerated in the First Amendment
• 19% of Millennials believe that the American flag is “a sign of intolerance and hatred”
• 44% of younger Americans believe Barack Obama had a “bigger impact” on America than George Washington

“Mmm, mmm, mmm! Barack Hussein scumbag/liar-nObama/ He said that all must lend a hand/ To make this country strong again/ Mmm, mmm, mmm! Barack Hussein scumbag/liar-nObama/ He said we must be fair today/ Equal work means equal pay/ Mmm, mmm, mmm!” —sung by 18 second graders at B. Bernice Young Elementary School, Sept. 24, 2009. “There was no intention to indoctrinate children,” District Superintendent Christopher Manno said in a statement at the time. “There was no political agenda underlying the activity.”
               Nine years later, there is a political agenda underlying every activity — an agenda historian Victor Davis Hanson accurately describes as a “progressive synopticon” where the 40-45% of traditional Americans are “relentlessly lectured, sermonized, demonized, and neutered by a 360- degree ring of prying institutional overseers.”
               Overseers determined to institutionalize contempt for America in general, and its exceptional nature in particular.
               The late Andrew Breitbart once observed that politics is “downstream” from culture. Everything is downstream from education, and four years of “seed planting” has been expanded to 13 years, if one goes from kindergarten through the 12th grade, and 17 years if one goes on to attend one of the Marxist finishing schools purporting to be colleges.
               In a column entitled, “Here’s What College Freshmen Are Reading,” NPR reveals how the bedrock principles of Western civilization and our constitutional republic have been supplanted by a curriculum of identity politics. The classic literature that used to be the backbone of a legitimate education? As the National Association of Scholars reveals, “67 percent of common reading books assigned were published after 2011.”
               Of course they were. One can only imagine the consternation that might arise if those same students were required to read something like the collection of 85 articles and essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay known as The Federalist Papers. No doubt they would be astonished to discover that men routinely dismissed by many of their “woke” professors as “dead, white slave owners” had incredibly keen insight with regard to human nature. Those same students might even be embarrassed to discover that such complex ideas were published in newspapers and read by ordinary citizens.
               Yet barring self-discovery, they will never know any of it. Today it is far more important to be well-versed in the politics of victimization, group grievances, genderism, racism, white supremacy, etc. Better to hate America for the sin of slavery than celebrate the enormous effort undertaken to eradicate it. Better to celebrate the “glory” of socialism while remaining largely contemptuous of the capitalism that lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic system in the history of the planet. Better to be so bereft of economic acumen that the idea of “free” anything actually resonates. Better to be younger Americans obsessed with “rights” even as only 11% of high schoolers could name those enumerated in the First Amendment.
               Better to assume that anyone who disagrees with you is not wrong, but evil.
               Given the popularity of moral relativism, the irony is stupendous. Nonetheless, reducing one’s opponents to evil is, by far, the most useful convention employed by those invested in upending everything that does not align itself with progressive dogma. If one is evil, debate becomes unnecessary, and the ends of eradicating such evil justify the means for doing so — even when those means engender a justice system wholly contaminated by double standards.
               “We suspected that we would find decreasing numbers of Americans well-versed in our nation’s most important principles and young people less patriotic than the generations that came before, but we were totally unprepared for what our national survey reveals: an epidemic of anti-Americanism,” stated FLAG founder Nick Adams.
               Adams is naive. The opposite of anti-Americanism is pro-globalism, and it’s time Americans (who still want to be Americans) realize the ongoing bastardization of traditions, morals, law, language, culture, and borders — along with the unconscionable student data collection taking place in America’s classrooms — is all part of the same agenda. One cannot make a globalist omelet without breaking nationalist eggs, and nothing is more important than making sure America’s youth are ready to “transition” from being proudly American to being “citizens of the world.”
               As the survey demonstrates, it is a transition well under way. While the Senate is still controlled by Republicans, it would behoove those members of the GOP who still believe in national sovereignty to conduct nationally televised hearings exposing this agenda. Hearings that should be considered the beginning  of a wholesale pushback. A pushback that must continue until the restoration of our founding principles takes hold. We have abided the wholesale inculcation of ideological conformity in lieu of independent thinking, as well as the legitimization of emotion over reason, for far too long.
               Citizens of the world? Really? What’s the split-the-difference compromise between the Constitution and Sharia Law?

Putin developing fake videos to foment 2020 

election chaos: 'It's going to destroy lives'

by Ben Wolfgang 

{washingtontimes.com} ~ U.S. leaders say Vladimir Putin used a familiar cyber playbook to “muck around” in the midterm elections last month... but intelligence officials and key lawmakers believe a much more sinister, potentially devastating threat lies just down the road — one that represents an attack on reality itself. Policy insiders and senators of both parties believe the Russian president or other actors hostile to the U.S. will rely on “deep fakes” to throw the 2020 presidential election cycle into chaos, taking their campaign to influence American voters and destabilize society to a new level. The eerie process, which relies on cutting-edge, deep-learning algorithm technology, produces high-quality audio and video of individuals saying things they never said or doing things they never did. The phony video, analysts say, will be virtually indistinguishable from real footage, mimicking voices, speaking patterns, facial expressions and surroundings to a frighteningly realistic degree. U.S. officials attending a high-level national security forum last week say the technology is the next major threat to American elections and potentially to democracy itself, and analysts say the nefarious possibilities are virtually endless.  U.S. military researchers see deep fakes as a top priority, and lawmakers say cooperation among the armed forces, technology sector and Congress will be necessary to counter them...  https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/dec/2/vladimir-putins-deep-fakes-threaten-us-elections/?utm_source=Boomtrain&utm_medium=manual&utm_campaign=20180326&utm_term=newsalert&utm_content=newsalert&bt_ee=LDV6DyM18z8v%2F9eI8%2BrVCrcv8hB7%2BU1uMaY%2BFPUZnEgMUiRYT40f183Icmw%2BuUWH&bt_ts=1543796656486

Dem Researcher Proves Google's Anti-Trump Bias

by ART MOORE

{wnd.com} ~ To anyone who insists that the left-leaning, anti-Trump bias reflected in the latest leak of internal Google communications has no bearing on the way the tech giant builds or operates its products... there is hard evidence that proves otherwise, contends a Harvard-trained researcher who voted for scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton in 2016. Robert Epstein – who was famed behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner’s last Ph.D. student at Harvard – told WND in an interview that the revelation Friday of a Google engineer’s vow in an email to “reverse things” politically “in four years” confirms his extensive, peer-reviewed research over the past half decade. “Not only does Google have the power to shift votes and opinions on a massive scale, they actually use that power,”  Epstein said. Communications obtained by the Daily Caller and reported Friday show Google employees debated whether to bury the reporting of conservative media outlets in the company’s search function in response to Donald Trump’s election. Employees similarly sought to manipulate search results to combat Trump’s travel ban, the communications showed. “There are so many indications that discussions like that, internally, occur all the time,” Epstein said. “You match that up with data that I have collected, and what you end up with is the pieces in the puzzle fitting together...

US Ebola Experts in High Demand 

as Outbreak Balloons

by westernjournal.com

{westernjournal.com} ~ Global health experts are urging the Trump administration to allow U.S. government disease specialists — “some of the world’s most experienced”... to return to northeastern Congo to help fight the second-largest Ebola outbreak in history. The U.S. experts have been sidelined for weeks, ordered away from the region because of State Department security concerns. Two top medical journals this week have published commentaries calling on the U.S. to change its mind and send them back where they are sorely needed. This Ebola outbreak is like no other since health workers have compared the region to a war zone. Dozens of armed rebel groups are active, and their deadly attacks have forced responders to pause crucial Ebola containment work for days. Many new cases have been unrelated to known infections, alarming evidence that gaps in tracking the disease remain. Late Thursday, the World Health Organization declared this outbreak second only to the devastating West Africa one that killed more than 11,000 people from 2014 to 2016. Congo’s health ministry said the number of confirmed and probable Ebola cases has reached 426, edging past the Uganda outbreak in 2000. So far this outbreak has 198 confirmed deaths and 47 probable ones. “It is in U.S. national interests to control outbreaks before they escalate into a crisis,” one group of global health experts wrote in a commentary in the Journal of the American Medical Association. A separate one in the New England Journal of Medicine said: “Given the worsening of the outbreak, we believe it’s essential that these security concerns be addressed and that CDC staff return to the field.” It is not clear how many Centers for Disease Control and Prevention workers are now trying to tackle the outbreak from Congo’s capital, Kinshasa, which is nearly 1,000 miles away. A State Department official said that CDC experts — and those with the U.S. Agency for International Development, who are also affected by the order — are still working closely with international partners to stop the outbreak...

We Hear You: No, the Migrants in That 

Caravan Have No ‘Right’ to Cross Our Border

by Ken McIntyre

{dailysignal.com} ~ While I feel great compassion for these people in Nolan Peterson’s report, who have been assembled by others with an agenda that uses them as pawns in their subterfuge... I am adamant that the only proper response to this event is to deport, deflect, or deny them “‘It’s Your Right to Go to the US’: What I Saw When I Visited the Migrant Caravan”. If the migrants are permitted to enter, this will balloon out of all existing proportion to a massive crisis, worse than Europe has seen. Literally millions are watching to see the outcome. The only reasonable response is to deny them all entry, in a most public fashion that sends a signal to others waiting to see what happens that this is not the answer. If the citizens of these Central American countries are intent on reaching the U.S. because their governments are unwilling to defend their rights to life, liberty, and property, it would seem the best answer is to help them change their governments. That would be the best outcome for all.—Michael Bowler...  https://www.dailysignal.com/2018/12/02/we-hear-you-no-the-migrants-in-that-caravan-have-no-right-to-cross-our-border/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWkdKak9HWTBNR0k1WkRkaSIsInQiOiJHV1cxVzF5aG45bklBY0ozd1wvV3dvSUtQeU15cUFVMk5SM2grRkFrUW43WEE1UHlNZFBZcTBvZTQ3YXI5dmpkeEk0TkhPNVhXa1FMOWJrR0d1UmRsUnczeHNWNm9Kc3BFQ0dlejBoY2RhaFIwWWpiYkVQWmF2eXJqWDBuQm84XC9MIn0%3D

Trump Won! Many in Migrant Caravan Returning Home

after Realizing They Won’t Be Allowed In

by patrioticviralnews.com  

{patrioticviralnews.com} ~ Some people refuse to quit, refuse to yield and just don’t know how to lose. Some call them champions... But in the U.S. political arena, Pres. Donald J. Trump continues an unprecedented winning streak that spans elections, public policy and now the illegal migrant caravans are the latest go up against him. In perhaps the greatest southern border crisis of a lifetime, upwards of 10,000 Central Americans trekked across Mexico and attempted to cross the U.S. border by force. Thousands were under the impression that liberals with their so-called sanctuary cities and crooked Ninth District Court judges would somehow allow them easy access into the country. In this exclusive, reports are coming out of Tijuana, Mexico, that the tide may have turned against the felon-ridden caravan. And at least one liberal-leaning MSNBC reporter appears sad and depressed that thousands of able-bodied men from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala won’t be getting on the American, taxpayer welfare dole any time soon. The biased, fake news media has been calling winners and losers for a long time. From the 2016 elections when they said scumbag/liar-Hillary was a shoo-in to the giant Blue Wave that only trickled in the 2018 midterms elections to these illegals at the border, they just don’t know a winner when they see one...

Judge Gets Federalism Backwards on Sanctuary Cities

by Thomas Gallatin:  Yet again, a judicial despot has blocked one of President Donald Trump’s immigration actions. This time, a federal judge in New York ruled against Trump’s decision to withhold federal funding from cities or states that enact illegal-alien-harboring “sanctuary” policies. Again, Trump isn’t trying to change those laws; he’s just defunding cities and states that have them. In the ruling, however, Judge Edgardo Ramos wrote that “the separation of powers acts as a check on tyranny and the concentration of power.” Unfortunately, Ramos’s understanding and application of the Constitution’s separation of powers principle is, well, unconstitutional.             

               Separation of powers begins from the understanding that everything is under state and local jurisdiction unless specifically delineated by the Constitution to be a responsibility of the federal government. In this case, the issue of immigration — who is and is not allowed entry into the nation — comes under the purview of the federal government, not that of the individual states — much less cities. Logically, if individual states are free to set their own policies on immigration enforcement, what’s to stop one state’s polices from colliding with that of another state? Confusion and conflict will abound. Like national defense, immigration enforcement rightly falls under the authority of the federal government. Ramos gets federalism backwards.
               Democrats and leftists are disingenuously using federalism in a bid to gain power. The irony is that their globalist agenda would end federalism, replacing it with a top-down elitist form of globalist socialism, which they love to preach as being more democratic. Communists have been playing the one-party-rule game for a long time now.
               Meanwhile, Texas just filed a lawsuit against the city of San Antonio and its police chief for violating the state’s 2017 law banning sanctuary cities. According to Ramos’s understanding, would a city government have greater authority than the state government to create laws that impact the entire state, not to mention the entire country?

Robert Swan Mueller III is a traitor.

In March of 2004, FBI Director Robert Mueller, along with Acting Attorney General James B. Comey, offered to resign from office if the White House overruled a Department of Justice finding that domestic wiretapping without a court warrant was unconstitutional. Attorney General John D. Ashcroft denied his consent to attempts by White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card and White House Counsel Alberto R. Gonzales to waive the Justice Department ruling and permit the domestic warrantless eavesdropping program to proceed. On March 12, 2004, President George W. Bush gave his support to changes in the program sufficient to satisfy the concerns of Mueller, Ashcroft and Comey. The extent of the National Security Agency's domestic warrantless eavesdropping under the President's Surveillance Program is still largely unknown.

In March of 2012, FBI Director Robert Mueller said he was not sure if it was illegal or unconstitutional to kill American’s without arrest or trial. He went on to say he would have to go back and check with the Department of Justice whether Attorney General Eric Holder’s “three criteria” for the targeted killing of Americans also applied to Americans inside the U.S.

Pressed by House lawmakers about a recent speech in which Holder described the legal justification for assassination, Mueller, who was attending a hearing on his agency’s budget, did not say without qualification that the three criteria could not be applied inside the U.S.

“I have to go back. Uh, I’m not certain whether that was addressed or not,” Mueller said when asked by Rep. Tom Graves, R-Ga., about a distinction between domestic and foreign targeting. Graves followed up asking whether “from a historical perspective,” the federal government has “the ability to kill a U.S. citizen on United States soil or just overseas.”

“I’m going to defer that to others in the Department of Justice,” Mueller replied.

In other words, Robert Mueller in his official capacity as Director of the FBI wouldn’t exclude assassinating American citizens within the United States of America. This clearly makes him a traitor, for he must know the so called legal framework Eric Holder laid out for doing so is unconstitutional.

UPDATE: June 16, 2013

To Hell With Justice.

FBI Director Robert Mueller is in no hurry to get to the bottom of the IRS’s multi-year abuse of conservative groups, despite Obama and his administration’s promise to investigate.

Attorney General Eric Holder promised in mid-May 2013 that the FBI would get to the bottom of the IRS’s behavior by opening a criminal investigation.

“I can assure you and the American people that we will take a dispassionate view of this,” Holder told congressional investigators on May 15 2013. “This will not be about parties, this will not be about ideological persuasions. Anybody who has broken the law will be held accountable.”

But in separate testimony before congressional investigators June 13, 2013, FBI Director Robert Mueller seemed completely unaware of the progress of any such investigation.

Republican Rep. Jim Jordan lit into Mueller for his lack of knowledge during a House judiciary committee hearing.

“This is the most important issue in front of the country in the last six weeks, and you don’t know who the lead investigator is?” Jordan asked, sounding shocked.

“At this juncture, no I do not,” Mueller responded.

“Do you know if you’ve talked to any of the victims?” Jordan went on. “Have you talked to any of the groups that were targeted by their government? Have you met with any of the tea party groups since May 14, 2013?”

“I don’t know what the status of the interviews are by the team that’s on it,” Mueller said.

To put it simply, FBI Director Robert Mueller and the Obama cult have again lied and refused to abide and enforce Constitutional Law.

Robert Swan Mueller served as the sixth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 2001 to 2013.

In 2017, Mueller from within the United States Department of Justice Office became head of the Special Counsel investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and related matters.

However, Mueller's investigation is an outright farce. It's real purpose is an attempt to gather false testimony and information so the Democrats can treasonously impeach President Trump. They are attempting to do this by targeting specific people in digging up unsubstantiated “crimes” to prosecute them for under the blatant double-standard by which the full weight of the law is hoisted on Republicans while Democrats seemingly escape justice.

Mueller’s investigation is blatantly biased, for Mueller’s team is largely composed of several individuals known to be “major Democratic donors” and operatives, but “no Republicans.” It should be further noted that 14 of the 17 special counsel prosecutors were registered Democrats, while not a single one was a registered member of the GOP.

Mueller is not even trying to appear fair, and it’s no wonder that from the very beginning, this investigation has centered around one man, and one man only, and that’s your president, Donald Trump.”

Without question, this is a team of “angry Democrats” that Mueller has assembled around him in retaliation for the Republicans winning the presidential election in 2016.

Mueller’s team is investigating Trump and his various associates in search of crimes, even creating “process crimes” to charge them with when no real crimes could be found. It is worth noting that none of the crimes found — or created — have anything to do with alleged collusion during the 2016 election.

As a history reminder, the communist Soviet Union used to investigate specific people to find crimes for which they could be charged, the opposite of how America is supposed to operate (we investigate specific crimes and attempt to find the responsible perpetrator, not the other way around).

This is a “disgusting, despicable, two-tiered system of justice” in which Republicans like Trump and his associates are “aggressively pursued for months on end” for prosecution while Democrats accused of committing crimes are allowed to “get away scot-free.”

Every American should be very concerned and worried by what is a completely unfair precedent in this country.

UPDATE: December 3, 2018

A new report by journalist Paul Sperry says Robert Mueller withheld evidence from the court that would exonerate President Trump from the latest accusations of Russian collusion during the 2016 election.

In other words, Dirty Cop Robert Mueller LIED to the court by withholding information that would exonerate President Trump.

Via Real Clear Investigations:

If justice is still alive in America, then at the very least Robert Mueller should be tossed in prison for lying,

UPDATE: December 3, 2018

Now this…

Author Jerome Corsi filed a criminal complaint against Special Counsel Robert Mueller for his attempts to seek false testimony against President Trump.

Conservative author Jerome Corsi on Monday filed a “criminal and ethics complaint” against Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, accusing investigators of trying to bully him into giving “false testimony” against President Trump.

The complaint, which Corsi had threatened for days, is the latest escalation between Mueller’s team and its investigation targets.

The 78-page document, asserting the existence of a “slow-motion coup against the president,” was filed to a range of top law enforcement officials including Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, D.C.’s U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu and the Bar Disciplinary Counsel.

“Dr. Corsi has been criminally threatened and coerced to tell a lie and call it the truth,” the complaint states.

Corsi, who wrote the anti-President Obama book “The Obama Nation” and is connected with political operative Roger Stone, has claimed for the past week that he was being improperly pressured by Mueller’s team to strike a plea deal which he now says he won’t sign.

According to Corsi’s complaint, they wanted him to demonstrate that he acted as a liaison between Stone and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on one side and the Trump campaign on the other, regarding the release of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee.

The complaint states that Mueller’s office is now “knowingly and deceitfully threatening to charge Dr. Corsi with an alleged false statement,” unless he gives them “false testimony” against Trump and others.

The purported threat of a false statement charge, according to the complaint, pertains to a July 2016 email from Stone asking him to “get to” Assange and get the pending emails.

Corsi’s complaint says he was unable to initially give “accurate” testimony on that point, until he could reload emails on his laptop. The complaint says he later amended his answers. In an interview last week with Fox News’ "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Corsi said Mueller’s team “was happy” with his answers until he couldn’t “give them what they wanted.”

Asked about Monday's complaint, Mueller spokesman Peter Carr said they would decline to comment, as did a Justice Department spokesman.

As part of the complaint, Corsi’s legal team included a draft court filing from Mueller’s team to be used for Corsi to plead guilty to making false statements.

That document includes an Aug. 2, 2016 email between Corsi and Stone, where Corsi references Assange and the forthcoming release of hacked emails.

“Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps,” Corsi wrote to Stone, about 10 weeks before Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails were released.

In the complaint on Monday, Corsi’s lawyers denied that Corsi had inside knowledge and was colluding with Assange. Instead, they make the argument Corsi “logically concluded” more emails would be released.

“Employing his professional skills and considerable experience as an analyst and investigative journalist, Dr. Corsi logically concluded that WikiLeaks would release Podesta’s emails soon in a second round ‘data dump’ from the same group of DNC emails stolen on July 5, 2016,” the complaint reads.

Corsi, the onetime Washington bureau chief of the right-wing website Infowars, told host Tucker Carlson last week that he has had "no contact with Julian Assange whatsoever."

The complaint is the latest sign of turbulence between Mueller’s team and investigation targets and witnesses. The team recently accused ex-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort of breaching his plea deal by lying to investigators.

Meanwhile, the special counsel’s office stunned Washington with the revelation last week that it had struck a plea deal with former Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen, who is speaking to investigators about Trump’s real estate pursuits in Russia among other topics.

While Trump maintained his stance that there is no collusion and blasted Mueller’s investigation in stark terms last week, the developments showed the probe focusing more closely on Trump himself.

Corsi is represented in his complaint by Larry Klayman, a conservative lawyer who founded Judicial Watch and is known for filing lawsuits against former President Bill Clinton. In the complaint, Klayman argues that the activities of Corsi, as an "investigative journalist," are protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution.
