Unsealed Choke Point Documents Show
scumbag/liar-nObama Was Far From Scandal-Free

{dailysignal.com} ~ In February 2018, Barack scumbag/liar-nObama infamously claimed his presidential administration was scandal-free... “We didn’t have a scandal that embarrassed us,”  scumbag/liar-nObama said about a year after leaving office, during closed-door remarks leaked to the press. Conservatives, however, often point to Operation Fast and Furious, the Benghazi terrorist attacks, the IRS tea party scandal, and many other embarrassing scandals to debunk this claim. But there’s another scandal that’s seldom mentioned but has ongoing repercussions: Operation Choke Point. The name says it all. The goal of Operation Choke Point, dubbed that and designed by the Justice Department under  scumbag/liar-nObama’s first attorney general,  scumbag-Eric Holder, was to choke out of the banking system entire industries that the  scumbag/liar-nObama administration didn’t like. By weaponizing regulators at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Office of Comptroller of the Currency, the administration realized it could block entire industries from the banking system. This would make it difficult—if not impossible—for businesses to operate...  https://www.dailysignal.com/2018/10/16/unsealed-choke-point-documents-show-obama-was-far-from-scandal-free/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTldFeU1qRTVOREppTXpNdyIsInQiOiJrUmxWY2RZZ09NcHdpaTR0VjFWR0dTUVdEYjlEXC9XcHBVVzVCOTRvQXNRUHVoaThwUUlxVHQ4YUNOSWFQZlwvWlBaUFVxYXhpdlpBRWRzZ2gxaGo0MkpPM3VCVGR2bGhcLzV6eElqQmY1U0xOekYxVGJld1FmNDVWajZsWjh1XC9QUVcifQ%3D%3D

{dailycaller.com} ~ Chief Justice John Roberts spoke publicly for the first time Tuesday about Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s contentious ascension to the U.S. Supreme Court... vowing to protect the Court’s independence and impartiality. Delivering remarks at the University of Minnesota Law School, Roberts opened by alluding to Kavanaugh’s confirmation. He noted that the justices shake hands with one another before entering the courtroom for oral argument or gathering for private conferences, in keeping with a tradition established by Chief Justice Melville Fuller, who led the Court from 1888 to 1910. “It’s a small thing, perhaps, but it is a repeated reminder that, as our newest colleague put it, we do not sit on opposite sides of an aisle, we do not caucus in separate rooms, we do not serve one party or one interest, we serve one nation,” the chief said, referencing remarks Kavanaugh made during his ceremonial installation at the White House. “I want to assure all of you that we will continue to do that,” Roberts added. He declined to expressly condemn the confirmation process, however, out of deference to the popular branches of government. Though Supreme Court justices are often asked about their confirmations in public, they usually couch their answers in general terms to avoid being seen as unduly partisan... Then why did you sent Kavanaugh's confirmation to the 9th cir court for review?  https://dailycaller.com/2018/10/16/john-roberts-brett-kavanaugh/?utm_medium=email

Killing the Electoral College Would Alienate Half the Country

{dailysignal.com} ~ dummycrats-Democratic socialist commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, seeking to represent New York’s 14th Congressional District, has called for the abolition of the Electoral College... Her argument came on the heels of the Senate’s confirming Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. She was lamenting the fact that Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, nominated by President George W. Bush, and Justices Neil Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, nominated by President Donald Trump, were court appointments made by presidents who lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College vote. liar-Hillary Clinton has long been a critic of the Electoral College. Just recently, she wrote in The Atlantic, “You won’t be surprised to hear that I passionately believe it’s time to abolish the Electoral College.” Subjecting presidential elections to the popular vote sounds eminently fair to Americans who have been miseducated by public schools and universities. Worse yet, the call to eliminate the Electoral College reflects an underlying contempt for our Constitution and its protections for personal liberty. Regarding miseducation, the founder of the Russian Communist Party, Vladimir Lenin, said, “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” His immediate successor, Josef Stalin, added, “Education is a weapon whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.”... Thats why our education system is failing.   https://www.dailysignal.com/2018/10/17/killing-the-electoral-college-would-alienate-half-the-country/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTldFeU1qRTVOREppTXpNdyIsInQiOiJrUmxWY2RZZ09NcHdpaTR0VjFWR0dTUVdEYjlEXC9XcHBVVzVCOTRvQXNRUHVoaThwUUlxVHQ4YUNOSWFQZlwvWlBaUFVxYXhpdlpBRWRzZ2gxaGo0MkpPM3VCVGR2bGhcLzV6eElqQmY1U0xOekYxVGJld1FmNDVWajZsWjh1XC9QUVcifQ%3D%3D

dummycrats-Dem Electoral Strategy: Political Terrorism

{dailyheadlines.com} ~ dummycrats-Democrats are 21st Century Bolsheviks. That is what they are, nothing more, nothing less... Their electoral strategy, indeed their entire philosophy rests on a bed of hate-fueled lies intended to strike fear into the hearts of voters. What do those lies say? Republican policies will kill millions. They will strip the elderly of medicare, throwing grandma off a cliff; they will fuel global warming, incite WW III, and on and on. They will literally threaten the world. dummycrats-Democrats are engaged in political terrorism. Consider: Pennsylvania dummycrats-Democrat Senate candidate Bob Casey launched a campaign ad showing twin children with cancer, claiming his GOP opponent, Rep. Lou Baretta, would cause the death of such children by denying insurance for preexisting conditions. If that were true, wouldn’t you want to see Rep. Barletta behind bars? It puts him on par with pedophiles — or worse. Baretta responded to Casey’s ad with an emotional video on Twitter, noting that his own toddler grandson, a twin, was suffering with cancer. “Bob Casey knew my 18 month old grandson, who is a twin, has cancer. I told him and his wife a month ago… to say that I would deny my own grandson healthcare might be the lowest thing I have ever experienced in my political career…” At first, Casey refused to take down the ad. As Rush Limbaugh pointed out on Monday, “it’s not insurance.” scumbag/liar-nObamacare set up a separate program for preexisting conditions  because no insurer would offer such insurance. “You can’t set your house on fire, then call State Farm or whoever, and buy a homeowners policy that protects you against fire. They won’t sell it to you.”...
What Everyone's Missing in Identity Politics Madness

{wnd.com} ~ “If you knew that your great grandfather built an empire, or that your great grandmother bought one,” starts the voice over on the popular Ancestry.com commercial... against dramatic scenes of a headdress-bedecked native African queen clutching a dagger, and stoic American Indian captives being forced to walk barefoot in the snow. “If you knew they stayed strong in a time of pain, or wild in the face of the law; if you knew how they fled the old world to build a new one, and never let anyone tell them no; if you knew what they did – what would YOU do?” The mesmerizing ad ends with these words on screen: “Unlock your past. Inspire your future. Ancestry.” There are currently over 10 million people in Ancestry’s DNA database, each of whom sent the company $99 plus tiny bit of saliva, hoping to discover more about where they came from, who they’re related to, what they’re made of, what hidden gifts might lie dormant within them – in short, who they really are. While a few fortunate customers are reunited with long-lost relatives, most people, in return for paying for the privilege of giving their most private, personal data – their DNA – to a giant online company, are content with gaining some exciting trivia about their ethnic ancestry to share with friends. But are we really somehow heir to the noble virtues of our ancestors? Most of our forebears were not fearless African queens; in fact, quite a few were dysfunctional, mentally ill, even criminals – or just broken people struggling with the trials and traumas of life. Moreover, even if our ancestors were great and impressive people, virtue isn’t passed down through the generations to us by blood. Nevertheless, today it seems that everyone is hungry to discover their identity...

Georgia dummycrats-Dems Cry Racism to Mask Voter Fraud
0v0oDWEROFzyY0kiRD0zLVYJG_OVB4J_TFr_QYa_SlyjI9gFoKOvD67kCdKQqtK6N8prtUgfSpaUfUkYtek1X9ndyWA3vduE3JZzLGnsS84WTU5hMd7E0M4F2z4PT0QBdlKaLozPCoW9iqdKI_ZcQnI44YzOqiQvNtn22UV77zs=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450
by Louis DeBroux:  In news even less surprising than dummycrats-Democrat Sen. Elizabeth “Fauxcahontas” dinky-Warren’s DNA test showing she is 99.9% white, the Georgia  dummycrats-Democrat Party is using accusations of racism and voter suppression as a smokescreen to hide their own efforts at voter fraud.

             Georgia’s dummycrats-Democrat/Socialist gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has filed a lawsuit claiming Georgia’s Secretary of State (and Republican gubernatorial candidate) Brian Kemp has disenfranchised 53,000 mostly minority voters by flagging their voter applications pending verification under Georgia’s so-called “Exact Match” law. Where to begin?
               First, and most importantly, the law does not prevent anyone from voting. dummycrats-Democrats claim that a simple spelling discrepancy is enough to prevent a voter from casting a ballot, but that is a blatant lie. In fact, the phrase “exact match” appears nowhere in the law.
               Georgia law (HB 268) requires the voter registration application address to match the address on file with the Department of Driver Services. If there is a discrepancy, the voter has 26 months to provide the necessary documentation to correct the error and, in the meantime, the voter may still cast a provisional ballot. If the voter information can be verified, the ballot is counted. None of the 53,000 applications in question are removed from the voter rolls. They are put in a category designated “pending” until the identity of the voter is definitively determined.
               dummycrats-Democrats point to the 35,000 voter applications that were rejected by Kemp’s office from 2013-2016, which sounds like a lot until one realizes that represents just 0.5% of Georgia registered voters. (For reference, that’s higher than the amount of Cherokee blood in dinky-Warren’s veins.)
               In reality, the purpose of the lawsuit is two-fold. Primarily, the goal is to push through as many fraudulent voter applications as possible, hoping Secretary Kemp will bow to political pressure and violate the law in allowing ballots of unverified voters to be cast (almost exclusively for dummycrats-Democrats). If that fails, then dummycrats-Democrats have established a narrative by which they can claim the election was stolen, minority voters were disenfranchised, and Kemp’s election is illegitimate.
               Last week while speaking to supporters in the dummycrats-Democrat stronghold of Clayton County, Abrams revealed her true intentions when she spoke of the coming “blue wave” she believes will restore dummycrats-Democrats to power.
               Abrams declared, “The blue wave is African-American. It is white. It is Latino. It is Asian-Pacific Islander. … It is made up of those who’ve been told that they are not worthy of being here. It is comprised of those who are documented and undocumented [emphasis added].” When contacted by The Washington Free Beacon and questioned about what role she believes “undocumented immigrants” (read: “illegal aliens”) will play in the election, Abrams refused to respond.
               The most infuriating aspect of all this is the media’s complicity in perpetuating the lies, and its refusal to acknowledge that this whole fiasco was engineered by Abrams.
               The flood of questionable voter applications are the result of efforts by the New Georgia Project (NGP), a nonprofit founded in 2014 by none other than Abrams, with the stated goal of registering minority voters in Georgia.
               Abrams’s organization has been the subject of intense criticism since its founding, including from leaders in her own party, who have pointed to her $175,000 salary, the complete lack of transparency by Abrams, and NGP’s history of submitting “fraudulent and invalid voter registration applications to the Secretary of State.
               In 2014, the leftist rag Slate wrote about NGP, documenting, as described by Georgia State Rep. Bert Reeves, the “sloppy, questionable, and invalid voter applications” routinely submitted to the Georgia secretary of state’s office. Even Creative Loafing, a local lefty newspaper in Atlanta, questioned the validity of Abrams’s accusations against Kemp, warning that the voter applications may have been manufactured by Abrams’s group in order to justify the millions of dollars she took from NGP’s donors.
               When challenged on her habit of submitting inaccurate and fraudulent applications, Abrams smugly responded that Georgia’s election law only “requires that we turn in all application forms we collect, regardless of concerns over validity. It’s the job of the secretary of state to determine the status of the applications. We do not get to make the decisions about whether or not a form is valid or not.”
               In other words, Abrams’s organization flooded Secretary of State Kemp’s office with tens of thousands of inaccurate and fraudulent voter applications, knowing full well it would take significant time and resources to review and verify the applications, and then she screams racism and voter suppression when the bogus applications are flagged as “pending” until verified.
               Of course, there is a long history of dummycrats-Democrats engaging in voter fraud and then fighting any effort to investigate or put in place measures that would catch fraud. Though dummycrats-Democrats always claim voter fraud is almost nonexistent and therefore should not be addressed, the reality is that election fraud is rampant among dummycrats-Democrats.
               Ironically, despite even the leftist ACLU and the just as leftist Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Georgia’s largest newspaper) trying to correct the intentional deception lest it damage dummycrats-Democrats’ chances, Abrams persists with the claim of disenfranchisement of minority voters by Kemp’s office.
               How fitting it would be if Abrams lost a close race because she convinced her own voters that their votes wouldn’t count.

Big Tech Snuffing Free Speech; Google's Poisonous 'Dragonfly'

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The internet, especially social media, has become one of the primary places for people to exchange viewpoints and ideas... Social media is where a considerable part of the current national conversation takes place. Arguably, big tech companies, such as Google, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, therefore carry a responsibility to ensure that their platforms are equally accessible to all voices in that national conversation. As private commercial entities, the social media giants are not prima facie legally bound by the First Amendment to the US Constitution, and are free to set their own standards and conditions for the use of their platforms. Ideally, those standards should be applied equally to all users, regardless of political or other persuasion. If, however, these companies choose what to publish and what not to publish, they should be subject to the same licensing and requirements as media organizations. The current media giants' favoring one kind of political speech over another -- progressive over conservative -- and even shutting down political speech that does not conform to the views of the directors, certainly skews the national political conversation in a lopsided way that conflicts with basic principles of democratic freedom of speech and what presumably should be the obligations of virtual monopolies. The question of whether such discrimination against conservative viewpoints constitutes a breach of law is currently the subject of a number of lawsuits. In October 2017, PragerU, a conservative educational website, filed a lawsuit against YouTube and its parent company, Google, for "intentional" censorship of conservative speakers, saying that they were "engaging in an arbitrary and capricious use of their 'restricted mode' and 'demonetization' to restrict non-left political thought."...

{wnd.com} ~ A deputy communications director for Minnesota’s dummycrats-Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party has been suspended for a week for a tweet threatening members of the GOP with “guillotines.”... It’s just the latest in a long list of statements advocating violence that have been made recently by dummycrats-Democratic leaders. The Washington Free Beacon reported William Davis was suspended for a week without pay after his posting, which he later deleted. It said: “10.31 – Halloween 11.2 – Day of the Dead 11.4 – set your clocks back 11.6 – take your country back.” Originally, it also included the line “11.7 Bring them to the guillotines.” The Free Beacon reported DFL chief Corey Day said: “It is completely inconsistent with the standards we hold our employees to. I have spoken with Will and about our social media standards and our expectation that he use appropriate judgment when commenting and posting. He regrets the post and has deleted it.” Day said the reference to execution, often used during the French Revolution, was “an inside joke.”... I'm surprise he wasn't banned from Facebook.

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ President Trump has warned three Central American countries that if they allow anyone to pass through their country to enter the U.S. illegally... that America will cease all foreign aid payments to them. In two tweets late Tuesday, Trump said that Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador have been put on alert that "all payments made to them will STOP (END)!" if the countries allow people passage on their way to the U.S.-Mexico border with the intention to enter the country illegally. Mexico mobilized hundreds of their federal officers to their southern border to prevent the passage of a 2,000-person caravan from Honduras that had plans to travel through Mexico to the U.S. In a follow-up tweet, Trump said that "anybody entering the United States illegally will be arrested and detained" before being deported to their country of origin. President Trump specifically mentioned those three countries, leaving it unclear if Mexico had received the same threat.

{theconservativetreehouse.com} ~ You might remember back in May 2018 when sketchy porn lawyer Michael Avenetti was releasing U.S. Treasury notifications on Michael Cohen received... from an unknown source within the Treasury Department.  You might also remember when New Yorker’s Ronan Farrow wrote a sympathetic article after talking to the leaking treasury official.  As a result the Treasury Inspector General began an investigation. Today, a U.S. Treasury employee named Natalie Mayflower Sours-Edwards was arrested and charged with leaking to numerous reporters multiple financial reports about suspicious financial transactions related to: Paul Manafort, Richard Gates, Maria Butina, and others. EDWARDS, 40, of Quinton, Virginia, is charged with one count of unauthorized disclosures of suspicious activity reports and one count of conspiracy to make unauthorized disclosures of suspicious activity reports, both of which carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison. The statutory maximum penalties are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencings of the defendants would be determined by the judge. Every organization from mortgage providers, to international financial institutions, to local U.S. main street banks, all the way to Western Union and convenience stores who generate money orders, are required to file CTR’s and SAR’s as part of the Treasury Department Banking Secrecy Act; a law requiring anyone engaged in financial services to assist government agencies in detecting and preventing money laundering...

{timesofisrael.com} ~ The Israeli military bombed 20 “military facilities” in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday morning... the army said, in response to a predawn rocket attack that struck a home in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba, causing damage but no injury. A second rocket fired from Gaza landed off the coast of the greater Tel Aviv area, known in Israel as Gush Dan, which consists of the metropolis itself along with a number of large suburbs.The Israel Defense Forces said it held the Hamas terror group, which rules the coastal enclave, responsible for the attack, regardless of which group specifically launched the rockets. “There are only two organizations in Gaza that have this caliber of rocket: Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad,” said IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus. “It’s not hard to narrow down who’s behind it.”...

by Thomas Gallatin:  For the first time since 2008, the U.S. economy climbed back to the top, ranking as world’s most competitive economy by the World Economic Forum. The Forum’s report noted, “Economic recovery is well underway, with the global economy projected to grow almost 4% in 2018 and 2019.” This is indeed a pleasant and needed change from Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s defeatist “new normal,” which, not coincidentally, began in 2009 — the first year the U.S. was not number one.

             The Wall Street Journal further reports, “America’s vibrant entrepreneurial culture and its dominance in producing a competitive labor market and nimble financial system ‘are among the several factors that contribute to making the U.S.’ innovation ecosystem one of the best in the world,‘ the report said.”
               Another significant piece of data to highlight here is the latest report on jobs numbers. Investor’s Business Daily notes, “August was the fifth month in a row in which the number of [job openings] exceeded the official number of unemployed. The 7.14 million of open jobs in August exceeded the number of unemployed, now at 5.96 million, by about 1.2 million. That’s never happened in the history of the series, which dates back to the end of 2000. Moreover, the number of new hires, at 5.78 million, is also a record.
               In other words, President Donald Trump’s aggressive deregulation crusade combined with the Republicans’ tax-cut legislation is making America’s economy great again.

{foxnews.com} ~ Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller is set to issue findings of some of the core aspects of his investigation... into the alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia shortly after the November midterm elections, Bloomberg reported. The outlet, citing two anonymous U.S. officials, reported that dirty cop-Mueller is finalizing the conclusions related to the questions on whether President Trump’s campaign cooperated with Russia and whether he took any actions that could constitute obstruction of justice. Asked about the timeline, two sources close to the president's legal team told Fox News they also believe the dirty cop-Mueller probe is "winding down." The Justice Department did not immediately respond to an email from Fox News. It’s possible that dirty cop-Mueller’s finding won’t be made public if he doesn’t secure unsealed indictments, according to Bloomberg. The findings will be provided to his boss, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein...  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mueller-ready-to-deliver-core-findings-on-trump-probe-after-midterms-report

IG Report Concludes Senior FBI Official Lied to 
Investigators, Doesn’t Recommend Prosecuting

{saraacarter.com} ~ Republican lawmakers are calling “hypocrisy” on the failure of the Department of Justice to charge a former senior FBI official for violating bureau policy... by accepting gifts from a reporter and lying about the incident to investigators when questioned, according to an Inspector General report released Tuesday. The DOJ’s Inspector General’s  investigative summary titled “Findings of Misconduct by an FBI Official for Accepting Gifts from Members of the Media and for Lack of Candor” revealed that “a senior FBI official accepted two tickets to a professional sports game as a gift from a television news correspondent who regularly covered the FBI and DOJ, in violation of federal regulations.” The Inspector General’s investigation substantiated the findings “and the senior FBI official acknowledged, that the official accepted two tickets to a professional sports event from the TV correspondent without paying the correspondent for the tickets. The senior FBI official initially maintained to the OIG in an interview under oath that the official had paid for the tickets, but five days later admitted to the OIG that the official did not.” Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s office did not recommend prosecution for the senior official despite the fact he lied to investigators initially. Rep. Mark Meadows said in a Tweet Tuesday “total hypocrisy.” “DOJ prosecutes Mike Flynn and George Papadopoulos for lying to the FBI,” Meadows stated. “But a senior FBI official accepted free gifts from a media member, lied to the FBI about it, and faces no prosecution.”...
Department of Justice right to go after Hezbollah

{thehill.com} ~ Attorney General Jeff Sessions made clear yesterday that Hezbollah is not just an Iranian-backed terrorist organization... but also one of the most dangerous crime syndicates in the world. In his remarks announcing the creation of a new Transnational Organized Crime Task Force, Sessions identified five criminal groups as America’s “top transnational organized crime threats.” The list includes Hezbollah alongside four Central American cartels known for their brutality, such as MS-13. Yesterday’s announcement follows the Department of Justice’s decision, almost a year ago, to form a Hezbollah terror finance task force to combat the organization’s illicit financial flows. Yet Hezbollah’s crimes are not just financial; they are an active participant at every stage of the drug supply chain, including — ominously — significant sales to the U.S. market, as a case recently tried in Miami reveals. Thus, the identification of Hezbollah as a Transnational Criminal Organization, or TCO, is more than justified. Over the past fifteen years, Hezbollah’s involvement in transnational organized crime has evolved into a multi-billion dollar global enterprise endorsed and coordinated by the group’s top leaders. Hezbollah’s production and sale of counterfeit medicines such as Captagon — a powerful amphetamine — is well documented. So are its growing involvement in cocaine trafficking, and its extensive and enduring ties with drug cartels...  https://thehill.com/opinion/criminal-justice/411703-department-of-justice-right-to-go-after-hezbollah

Why the Iranian Threat Goes Far Beyond Nuclear Weapons

{israeltoday.co.il} ~ Prior to the Islamic Revolution that swept Iran in 1979, the status of Shiite Muslims in the Arab world (about 20 percent of all Muslims) was that of inferiors... In many countries like Libya, Iraq and Saudi Arabia, they would be executed without trial. In other countries, Shiites were forbidden to build mosques because, in the eyes of Sunni Muslim majority, they were heretics. The rise of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini was a watershed. He promised that the Shiites in the Arab world would no longer be oppressed. Indeed, since the revolution in Iran, the status of the Shiites in the Arab world has not only strengthened, in some places they have become the oppressors. Today, the Iranians and their proxies have full control over four Arab states: Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. And they threaten to seize even more countries. In fact, Iranian efforts and attempts to undermine the stability of the Arab states have not ceased in recent years. Iran sees itself as a regional power and has adopted a strategy aimed at extending that power across the entirety of the Middle East. And it is succeeding. Two benefits of this extended power is the ability by Iran to protect the Shiite minority in Arab countries and to strike Israel indirectly. The Iranian octopus today operates both openly and covertly in any number of Arab countries as it exports the Shiite revolution to the rest of the Islamic world. Thanks to Russian and Iranian involvement, Bashar Assad remained in power in Damascus. Iran wants to benefit from its investment in Syria...  http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/35047/Default.aspx

{washingtontimes.com} ~ The Honduran government called on 2,000 immigrants Tuesday to give up their trek north and return home... just hours after President Trump threatened to withhold $65 million in U.S. money if the country’s leaders don’t find a way to head off the caravan. Honduras’s foreign ministry, in a statement reported by local news, said the caravan was being politically manipulated in order to make the country look bad, just days after leaders were in Washington promising better cooperation with the Trump administration. But no matter what happens with this caravan, security experts say the U.S. is already being flooded with other caravans with hundreds of people on a near-daily basis, and that shows no signs of stopping...  https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/oct/16/honduras-begs-migrant-caravan-turn-back/?utm_source=Boomtrain&utm_medium=manual&utm_campaign=20171227&utm_term=newsletter&utm_content=morning&bt_ee=%2B%2B3MN7CrRadIisMCPkmo9gSVjmTCu5%2BDfG8nUfPXxk83NLw0uamv14C7RRB1ocdu&bt_ts=1539772998105

by Culture Beat:  Army medic Luis Ocampo left his home in Charlotte, North Carolina, to help with hurricane relief on the Carolina coast. Ocampo spent days in New Bern, a riverfront city ravaged by the storm. With Ocampo gone, his girlfriend Kailey Finch and their infant son stayed with Ocampo’s parents. When Ocampo returned home, he found his house completely ransacked. The thieves trashed the house and stole electronics, jewelry, and cherished family possessions.

               A friend launched an online fundraiser that brought in $15,000, more than the original $5,000 goal. Rather than keep the extra money, the soldier chose to give it to others in need.

MBS, Khashoggi, and the new fork in the road

{aei.org} ~ Let’s face it, the fork in the road from Saudi Arabia came some time ago. Was it in Yemen? The Hariri kidnapping episode?... The corruption crackdown? The execution of Sheikh Nimr? The arrest of prominent women reformers? The question is moot. Word is that today, the Kingdom will announce that “rogue elements” were responsible for accidentally murdering Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi while interrogating him at their consulate in Istanbul. This was the inevitable outcome following the hemorrhaging of support from the US and elsewhere. Addressing, even falsely, the Khashoggi crime will bring Saudi Arabia and its young de facto leader, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), to another fork in the road.  Before you throw your hands up in disgust at their “getting away with it,” a few points: This hypocrisy is a staple of Western foreign-policy. China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and many of that ilk are responsible for similar crimes. Apart from Turkey, we can say that the others are not members of the club of civilized nations; Turkey, of course, is a member of NATO. Sure, Saudi should be better. It is a nominal ally. But please. This is the country that is among those most responsible for this era’s spread of Sunni Islamist extremism. Riyadh has moved far in the right direction in recent years, but it is no Jeffersonian democracy...

If Republicans won’t confront entitlements, who will?

by Michael R. Strain
{bloomberg.com} ~ If the GOP doesn't address the rising costs of middle-class entitlement programs, then who will?... The National Republican Campaign Committee is running an ad warning voters that dummycrats-Democrats will cut Medicare. The ad tells workers that from their paychecks “the government withheld your money to pay for your Medicare,” and characterized “DC liberals” as “raiding our Medicare.” “That money,” the ad argues, “belongs to you.” This campaign-season rhetoric stands in sharp contrast to Republicans' general approach to entitlements. The party's elected leaders have traditionally advocated changing the way the programs are structured and reducing their projected spending.  How to explain this contrast in GOP messages? A lot of it is simple politics. After all, even Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan in their 2012 presidential campaign presented themselves as protecting Medicare from President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s plans to cut spending on the program. “Both Campaigns Seize Role of Medicare Defender,” a headline in the New York Times read in the summer of 2012. This stance was especially notable because Ryan, the chairman of the House Budget Committee at the time, was seen as a champion of changes designed to restrain Medicare's spending...

McConnell: “Single biggest disappointment” of time in

{legalinsurrection.com} ~ In an interview with Bloomberg News Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader McConnell called the skyrocketing federal deficit “disturbing.”... McConnell went so far as to say, “The single biggest disappointment of my time in Congress has been our failure to address the entitlement issue.” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blamed rising federal deficits and debt on a bipartisan unwillingness to contain spending on Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, and said he sees little chance of a major deficit reduction deal while Republicans control Congress and the White House. “It’s disappointing, but it’s not a Republican problem,” McConnell said Tuesday in an interview with Bloomberg News when asked about the rising deficits and debt. “It’s a bipartisan problem: unwillingness to address the real drivers of the debt by doing anything to adjust those programs to the demographics of America in the future.”  McConnell’s remarks came a day after the Treasury Department said the U.S. budget deficit grew to $779 billion in Donald Trump’s first full fiscal year as president, the result of the GOP’s tax cuts, bipartisan spending increases and rising interest payments on the national debt. That’s a 77 percent increase from the $439 billion deficit in fiscal 2015, when McConnell became majority leader...

The dummycrats-Democrats' IT Scandal

{americanthinker.com} ~ After spending a year digging into the dummycrats-Democrats' covered up I.T. scandal in Congress, I happen to know there is a lot here that Americans aren't being allowed to know... If all this group of I.T. administrators from Pakistan did in Congress doesn't get out, then much of our freedom, which is wrapped up in this story, will be impacted. The cover-up has been so effective that this isn't happening. Imran Awan, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.)'s I.T. aide, got off without jail time or restitution on only bank fraud charges. Congress got off without paying the price for possible corruption and for allowing a spy ring to run free in Congress. We can't even be sure that Congress has made the necessary reforms to stop another spy ring from infiltrating and spying on Congress and thereby using stolen data to blackmail a congressman, influence a vote, or just know where members of Congress stand on various pieces of legislation, all of which can impact us. Emails and other data also could be used by a foreign intelligence service, such as Pakistan's ISI, to see where our representatives stand on funding being allocated to a given country or on other issues – and, according to sources, that is exactly what likely occurred in this case. Some sources, most notably current I.T. aides who work for congressmen, have told me that security protocols have been tightened and that they don't think other I.T. aides will be able to get in the door again without first passing background checks.  Nevertheless, Capitol Police won't confirm this or even answer if the laptop they'd found and held as evidence – the one Wasserman Schultz threatened the chief of Capitol Police with "consequences" over if it wasn't returned promptly – has now been given back to Wasserman Schultz. The government has conveniently managed this cover-up to protect itself...

Why Vote for dummycrats-Democrats?

by Cal Thomas
 

Given what the Trump administration is saying are record achievements for a president at this stage in office, why would anyone consider voting for dummycrats-Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections?
                 Writing in The Washington Examiner, Paul Bedard lists 289 accomplishments of the Trump administration, beginning with the obvious one, the economy: “They include 173 major wins, such as adding more than 4 million jobs, and another 116 smaller victories, some with outsize importance, such as the 83 percent one-year increase in arrests of MS-13 gang members.
               They also include two justices now on the Supreme Court and 82 other federal judges confirmed to lower courts.
               As the White House has touted, unemployment in all demographics is the lowest it has been since 1969. Despite a recent blip in the stock market, portfolios have grown fatter since Trump became president. An analysis in The Wall Street Journal predicts economic growth is likely to continue “for years.”
               Other positives include updated trade deals with Mexico and Canada that will produce benefits for American manufacturers and workers far more than the old NAFTA deal ever did.
               Consumer confidence reached an 18-year high in September, according to Lynn Franco, director of Economic Indicators at The Conference Board, which conducts the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index®.
               Top this off with the successfully negotiated release of Pastor Andrew Brunson from a Turkish prison and a more realistic foreign policy in confronting America’s enemies.
               According to Gallup’s weekly tracking poll, for the week of Oct. 7, the president’s approval rating jumped a percentage point, from 42 percent to 43 percent. His disapproval rating holds at 53 percent, though that number is down three percentage points from the week of Sept. 16. Rasmussen, which tends to be more favorable toward Republicans, puts the president’s approval at 51 percent. That is higher than President scumbag/liar-nObama achieved at a similar point in his presidency. Presidential polling does not necessarily forecast voter behavior in state and local races, though one Quinnipiac University Poll shows that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has a nine-point likely voter lead over his opponent Rep. socialist-Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas).
               In view of Republican successes, including tax cuts and the booming economy, what Democratic policies would produce results better than these? Other than spite for the president, why would voters elect candidates who want to return to a past where things were far different?
               Do people who didn’t have jobs during the previous administration want to embrace policies that kept them unemployed? Do businesses once prevented from hiring people because of regulations now wish to have regulations re-imposed and to lay off workers they recently hired?
               By what logic do some people wish to return to the recent past, including a recent past that includes Republican presidents who cannot lay claim to the type of successes President Trump is enjoying?
               Perhaps most amazing is the president’s growing approval among African-American voters, whose votes he is openly campaigning for as evidenced by rapper Kanye West’s endorsement and the president’s reciprocal embrace. USA Today reported on a new Rasmussen poll that shows “approval rating among African Americans is at 36 percent, nearly double his support at this time last year.” Despite the NAACP’s hostility toward the president, African-American voters seem focused more on results than symbolism.
               Polls have been wrong in the past — take the 2016 election as the latest example — but the president has begun touting his record while campaigning for candidates. That record appears to be resonating with voters, at least in some states. Never has the Ronald Reagan question “Are you better off than you were four years ago” seemed more relevant. Never has the answer appeared more obvious.

{freebeacon.com} ~ Defense Secretary Jim Mattis this week voiced new U.S. opposition to China's continued militarization of islands in the South China Sea... "We remain highly concerned with continued militarization of features in the South China Sea," Mattis told reporters on Monday as he traveled to Vietnam. Mattis also said China is using predatory economics to seek control over other nations. The Chinese are engaged in a global infrastructure development plan called the Belt and Road Initiative that U.S. officials have said is being used by Beijing to expand influence and control abroad, and expand Chinese military bases around the world...Why do we continue to mention this but do nothing.

{spectator.org} ~ Just what did Elizabeth dinky-Warren, the persistently unhinged dummycrats-Democrat senator from Massachusetts, expect to gain from releasing a DNA test... proving she isn’t a Native American while insisting the test indicates that she is? Perhaps it was the glowing-but-hilarious Boston Globe headline which read “dinky-Warren reveals test confirming ancestry.” That in and of itself may have been enough — though the Globe story going with that front-page headline Monday advertised dinky-Warren’s heritage as 1/512th Native American. And then the Globe  retracted that claim due to what it called a “math error,” and admitted it was going with a different number — 1/1024th. The average white American’s lineage, according to the Genetic Literacy Project, is 0.18 percent Native American. dinky-Warren’s DNA test puts her in a range between 0.098 percent and 3.0 percent, which means statistically she’s likely no more Native American than anybody else in the country. And it means she’s no less a liar today about the American Indian heritage she claimed as a means of making herself an affirmative-action baby than she was when she originally claimed it. This woman is whiter than Liquid Paper. She’s whiter than the inside of an Oreo. She’s whiter than a snowflake. Go and have yourself a couple of bourbons on the rocks and you’ll have more alcohol in your blood than Liz dinky-Warren has Native American in hers...  https://spectator.org/spreading-bull/?utm_source=American+Spectator+Emails&utm_campaign=5044895e90-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_16_06_05&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-5044895e90-104608113

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ FBI agents raided a building Tuesday in Puerto Rico’s capital city of San Juan that is home to municipal offices associated with the administration of San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz... a vocal political opponent of President Trump’s. "More than 10" but "less than 50" agents based on the Caribbean island arrived at the Municipal Tower at 9 a.m. ET and were still conducting the operation as of 2:30 p.m. when FBI spokesman for the U.S. territory, Carlos Osorio, spoke by phone with the Washington Examiner in the afternoon Tuesday. Osorio described the operation as "pretty big." Agents were seen entering the Municipal Tower with dozens of empty boxes. The federal agents deployed to the third, fourth, 14th, and 15th floors of the 16-floor building, Osorio said. They were looking for any paper and electronic documents related to "corruption" inside the city administration's purchasing and contracting departments. The raid comes a month after Trump tweeted a quote from Fox Business anchor Lou Dobbs that said the U.S. territory’s government was "corrupt" while fuming over the raised death toll count in Puerto Rico from last year's Hurricane Maria. "We have received allegations that they have been fixing contracts, that they are falsifying documents - these having to do with federal funds because if not, we would not have any jurisdiction," Osorio said. "They’re not directed at the mayor, but against people that work at the tower." The allegations also include tampering with purchase orders and favoritism toward certain vendors...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/fbi-raids-puerto-rico-offices-after-trump-hints-at-corruption?utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_10/16/2018&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief

Trump’s North America Trade Triumph

{spectator.org} ~ For those on the left and right who were certain that Donald Trump’s presidency meant the end of global free trade… think again... Though Trump’s critics have dismissed the significance of the new Mexico and Canada trade deal (USMCA), it’s hard to deny it’s a welcome advance for the economy of the entire continent. The pact will extend for years a mostly tariff-free North America trade zone. This was Ronald Reagan’s vision nearly four decades ago — and that legacy will now live on for hopefully many years to come. Here’s just one example of the importance of this agreement. In the area of energy production, the integration of our economies and the freer flow of energy investment capital across our southern and northern borders means more pipelines, more LNG terminals, more oil refineries, and more exploration. North America is now poised to be the new Middle East for energy production for the next fifty years with all the related economic advantages that confers on our region. One of the most favorable outcomes of the new trade pact is the provision that locks in 10 years of patent protections for new pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines. While some critics are portraying this as a sell-out to the big drug companies, the opposite is true. Patent protections for drugs invented in America reduce costs for American consumers by forcing foreign countries to help pay for the research costs about $1 billion for each new drug brought to market and stop free riding on our innovation. As University of Chicago professor Tomas J. Philipson puts it in a 2018 study on the drug industry: “There is no free lunch. If neither Americans nor foreigners pay for the R&D to develop new drugs, then soon nobody will receive new treatments.”...  https://spectator.org/trumps-north-america-trade-triumph/?utm_source=American+Spectator+Emails&utm_campaign=5044895e90-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_16_06_05&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-5044895e90-104608113

Trump Admin Sanctions Iranian Paramilitary 
Group Training Child Soldiers

{freebeacon.com} ~ The Trump administration on Tuesday leveled a bevy of harsh new sanctions on a top Iranian fighting force known to be training children and other soldiers... that are engaging in terrorism in Syria and other regional hotspots, according to senior Trump administration officials. The sanctions hit "a vast network" of businesses and financial institutions supporting Iran's Basij Resistance Force, a paramilitary organization tied to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, or IRGC, the Islamic Republic's chief fighting force that is widely known for conducting terrorist operations outside Iran's borders, including ones that have killed Americans. The sanctions—part of the Trump administration's "maximum pressure campaign" on Iran—come after a series of Iranian missile and drone strikes in the region that have drawn widespread condemnation, including from the Trump administration. Trump administration officials familiar with the new action said the sanctions are meant to expose Iran's global terrorism networks, including a web of financial institutions and shell companies that fund the rogue country's military intervention across the globe...  https://freebeacon.com/national-security/trump-admin-sanctions-iranian-paramilitary-group-training-child-soldiers/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=19cdf4677e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_16_11_49_COPY_110&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-19cdf4677e-45611665

Why Require Voter ID?
xh1Sejr-GwiqMsX4xTN_UnRrPVwtant2RNDT2sbS5p9SWJvSuEd7qzyKsmCafLFE7Hh0OTdQR_TF1OQJZ_ciIAJQTd3D7s_Dp_XQKQrnJMTPg3l018DBW8CM4GfVhmgAtaht32ugl2lTNrbeNloPR3wTTQ6JEDCa5iso8wAry30=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450
by Lewis Morris:  With the midterms less than a month away, the idea of election integrity should be on everyone’s minds. Unfortunately, dummycrats-Democrats and their Leftmedia super PAC would have us believe that voter fraud is a myth concocted by the Right to keep minorities from voting. Instead, they would rather focus on the phantom Trump-Russia collusion story that has been refuted by all but the most rabid anti-Trump leftists.

             For dummycrats-Democrats, it’s easy to believe that Russian ads on Facebook can swing an election away from liar-Hillary Clinton. The idea that the millions of duplicate and dead voters on the nation’s electoral rolls could be unduly swinging elections, however, is a bridge too far.
               Judicial Watch’s Election Integrity Project released a report last year that found that America’s voter rolls were in chaos. By crunching numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey and the federal Election Assistance Commission, Judicial Watch discovered that there were 3.5 million more registered voters than actual eligible adult voters in the United States.
               Think that might be relevant again with the November midterms around the corner?
               National Review’s Deroy Murdock took a deep dive into the numbers. He found that 462 counties nationwide in which the voter registration rate exceeded the eligible adult voter population. In most cases, there were a handful of over-registrations. These were most likely due to dead voters who hadn’t been removed from the rolls or people who had moved but were still listed at their old address. Yes, mistakes can be made, but 3.5 million of them?
               Some counties in Washington, Delaware, and New Mexico had voter registration rates upwards of 150% of the resident population. In areas with large populations, this can amount to many thousands of people. In Los Angeles County, Judicial Watch tallied over 700,000 over-registrations. San Diego Country had 810,000 more voters than people. In fact, California alone accounts for almost half of all the nation’s over-registrations.
               But by all means, let’s ditch the Electoral College and let California decide national elections, leftists tell us.
               States that figured prominently in the 2016 election had significant over-registration numbers. liar-Hillary Clinton’s margin of victory in Colorado and New Hampshire was lower than the number of over-registrations in either state. Her national popular vote margin was less than three million, compared to the 3.5 million extraneous voters in the Judicial Watch report.
               President Donald Trump proposed a federal examination of state voter rolls to purge bad names and investigate fraud shortly after he took office. Several dummycrats-Democrat states refused to cooperate and threatened to file suit, effectively shutting down the investigation before it even started. They claimed states’ rights (like that’s ever mattered to dummycrats-Dems before) and fell back on their age-old rebuttal that voter fraud doesn’t exist.
               As if on cue, the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University Law School concocted a report claiming voter fraud was a myth. The reasoning behind this finding was that the paltry number of prosecutions of voter fraud across the country indicated that it was a statistically insignificant issue. In other words, there haven’t been a lot of prosecutions, so it’s not a big deal.
               The voter-fraud-as-myth crowd wants the public to believe the only instances of fraud that exist were the ones that were prosecuted, or more appropriately the ones that were so glaringly obvious that they could not be ignored. If this was the theory behind all criminal behavior, then we should believe that the only crime that takes place is crime perpetrated by the criminals who get caught.
               Any prosecutor who would subscribe to such nonsense has no business in the legal profession.
               The low instances of reported voter fraud are a result of an epic lack of enforcement of voter laws, not extremely lucky prosecutors who found the dozen or so instances of voter fraud that took place in the whole country.
               Voter ID is a simple way to verify that voters are who they say they are and secure the integrity of our election process.  dummycrats-Democrats have repeatedly blocked attempts to establish this procedure. Why? Is it because such laws infringe on the voting rights of minorities?
               Hardly. Requiring people to present ID for voting is not a draconian measure. People are required to present identification in any number of public interactions on a daily basis, including obtaining Medicaid benefits, cashing Social Security checks, and using food stamps. If voter ID is so difficult for poor people or minorities to obtain, then how did they get ID to take advantage of these federal or state benefits?
               The cynical view about the source of the pushback against voter ID, which unfortunately is closer to the truth, is that tighter voter registration laws mean it will be harder to commit voter fraud. Once you remove the burdens that would supposedly hinder minority voting, what other answer is there?

A Cry Is Heard In Ramah But UNESCO Won’t Listen
A677AQBx0NQRDrQOuTvo9YI_-ETUmJ2QooMfsDacMqsrp5N0p7HF8zA2ogqOOQD08YZuAigdYClvwIoFqzrVjCtlw3GjQKXlwxMjk_6B-mZ_-RddDqE6w_vF9Nr3=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450by Jeff Dunetz
Thus said the Lord: A cry is heard in Ramah— Wailing, bitter weeping— Rachel weeping for her children. She refuses to be comforted for her children, who are gone. Thus said the Lord: Restrain your voice from weeping, Your eyes from shedding tears; For there is a reward for your labor —declares the Lord: They shall return from the enemy’s land. And there is hope for your future —declares the Lord Your children shall return to their country. (Jeremiah 31:15-17)

{lidblog.com} ~ Last week the UNESCO Executive Board adopted resolutions stating that the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron and Rachel’s Tomb in Bethlehem are both “an integral part of the Occupied Palestinian Territories.”... These resolutions weren’t the first UNESCO’s action against these Jewish heritage sites. In July 2017 UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee declared that the old city of Hebron and the Tomb of the Patriarchs were endangered “Palestinian” heritage sites. A 2010, report by the organization branded the Tomb of Rachel a mosque. A strategy of the Palestinians in their ultimate goal of taking over the entirety of Israel is to deny Jewish ties to the land. They do this by taking over and destroying Jewish Holy sites. It is why they’ve used the UN to target the Temple Mount, the Cave of the Patriarchs, Rachel’s Tomb, and other places holy to the Jewish people. Approximately 38 centuries ago, Abraham, our forefather purchased a cave in Hebron to bury his beloved wife, Sarah. It was the first piece of land officially owned by what would become the Jews. According to the Torah (Genesis chapter 23 verses 1-20), Abraham overpaid for the land so there would never be a doubt that he owned it fair and square I guess God didn’t tell him about Antisemitism and the UN...  https://lidblog.com/unesco-cry-ramala/

Yes, Mr. President, the Kremlin Murders 
Its Enemies—Even in the USA

{observer.com} ~ On 60 Minutes Sunday night, President Trump finally admitted that Vladimir Putin “probably” murders his opponents abroad... but he insisted the Kremlin wouldn’t do such a thing in the United States. Many in U.S. intelligence would disagree. The mystery on everyone’s mind right now is the October 2 disappearance of the Saudi journalist-turned-dissident Jamal Khashoggi, who went missing at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. As I explained in my last column, there’s good reason to believe that Khashoggi, a legal resident of the United States, was murdered by Saudi intelligence, a conclusion that looks firmer with each day he fails to appear. Khashoggi’s disappearance is a problem for the White House, given the close relationship between the Trump administration and Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, the Kingdom’s de facto leader, whose dislike for the dissident was no secret. Worse, the National Security Agency gave the White House advance warning that the Saudis planned to harm Khashoggi, but Team Trump apparently did nothing or at least nothing effective to protect the doomed journalist. With trademark bluster, President Trump promised “severe punishment” if Riyadh killed Khashoggi, but this morning he undercut that with a tweet, stating“Just spoke to the King of Saudi Arabia who denies any knowledge of whatever may have happened” to the missing man, adding that he’s dispatching Mike Pompeo, our top diplomat, to discuss the case with the Saudi king. President Trump needs this embarrassing case to go away, but that’s unlikely. Our European allies are turning up the heat,  demanding answers. Worse for the White House, Congressional rumblings indicate that the Hill, too, wants to know what happened to Khashoggi. As Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio explained, “If they lured this man into that consulate, they went medieval on him, and he was killed, and he was chopped up and they sent a death crew down there to kill him and do all this, that would be an outrage.”...  https://observer.com/2018/10/60-minutes-trump-interview-vladamir-putin-murders-enemies-in-usa-mikhail-lesin/?utm_campaign=national-politics&utm_content=2018-16-10-14767451&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=National%20Politics%20Minus%20Yahoo

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Turkish officials told reporters Tuesday that police have found evidence that Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered... inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Turkish police conducted a search of the consulate Monday and Tuesday and claim to have found "certain evidence" that Khashoggi was indeed murdered there, according to the Associated Press. Investigators spent roughly nine hours searching the consulate for clues as to the reason for Khashoggi's disappearance. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the search was complicated because some of the rooms inside the consulate were freshly painted, raising some questions. "My hope is that we can reach conclusions that will give us a reasonable opinion as soon as possible, because the investigation is looking into many things such as toxic materials and those materials being removed by painting them over," Erdogan told reporters Tuesday. The White House did not immediately respond to request for comment regarding the findings. The journalist was last seen the afternoon of Oct. 2 entering the Saudi mission. Turkish officials believe Khashoggi was murdered inside the embassy, where he was to fill out paperwork for his wedding, and previously told U.S. officials they have audio and video evidence to prove it. The officials claim Khashoggi was dismembered at the consulate...

{nationalreview.com} ~ Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina attacked Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman over his alleged role in the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi... during a Tuesday appearance on Fox and Friends. “I’m not going back to Saudi Arabia as long as this guy is in charge,” Graham said of bin Salman. “I’ve been their biggest defender on the floor of the United States Senate. This guy is a wrecking ball. He had Khashoggi murdered in a consulate in Turkey and to expect me to ignore it, I feel used and abused. The MBS figure is to me toxic, he can never be a world leader on the world stage.” “It’s up to the president, but what I would do — Well, I know what I’m going to do. I’m gonna sanction the hell out of Saudi Arabia,” Graham added when asked if Trump should impose sanctions on Saudi Arabia. Khashoggi, a former Saudi royal insider who recently turned against the regime, entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2 to finalize paperwork required for his upcoming marriage, but never emerged. After initially denying any involvement in the incident,  Saudi officials are expected to claim in a forthcoming report that Khashoggi was killed during an unapproved interrogation and abduction gone awry...

{newsbusters.org} ~ As the midterms fast approach, there are a bunch of dummycrats-Democrats who find themselves embroiled in scandals and controversies... But if you only got your news from the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks, you’ve probably never heard about them. The networks have been doing their best to protect dummycrats-Democratic midterm interests by downplaying or completely ignoring dummycrats-Democrats who have gotten into trouble this campaign season. MRC analysts looked at the network evening, morning and Sunday round table shows to see how they covered or didn’t cover various 2018 dummycrats-Democratic scandals or gaffes. From Texas Senate dummycrats-Democratic challenger socialists-Beto O’Rourke lying about his DUI arrest to dummycrats-DNC chair scumbag-Keith Ellison being accused of domestic violence, the following is a list of dummycrats-Democratic controversies that the nets are keeping their audiences for the most part in the dark about:  socialists-Beto O’Rourke Lied About DUI Arrest - Senate Admonishes Robert Menendez for Accepting Gifts - Sen. Claire McCaskill’s Husband Takes Advantage of Government Program for Poor to Make Millions - Former Staffer for dummycrats-Democratic Rep. scumbag-Sheila Jackson Lee Arrested for Doxxing Republicans - dummycrats-Democratic Governor Nominee Jared Polis Pushes Female Employee - scumbag-Keith Ellison Accused of Domestic Violence   https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/geoffrey-dickens/2018/10/15/six-democratic-scandals-networks-are-burying-election-year?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWWpCaU9HTTRaams0TVRNMiIsInQiOiJSa0tyOW1UckFJbVwvSHZlVnFCbGlyXC9ZK0pyZWttemk5VlVpNFdQSGN3eEc5UmFWd1FjYzVVZGJHRnVvdU5DQ1ErRXRxUWFqWjV6ZXhCQ3ptczFHQ2gxNUJ3d29iT0IrQ2dwZmVnempsTGk1ajduRit2VFV5c3lRbmxmc1wvTUJIRiJ9

Political Tensions in America: 1860 and 2018
by Tom McLaughlin
the-political-divide-in-america.jpg
{tommclaughlin.blogspot.com} ~ Growing political divisions in our country worry me. I used to help students understand what lead Americans to kill each other by the thousands between 1861 and 1865, and now I see tensions building again. Could America be heading for another civil war? I sure hope not, but I can’t ignore what I’m seeing around me.

A left-wing sniper last year fired over 200 rounds at a group of Republican congressmen at a baseball practice just outside Washington DC and nearly killed one, crippling him for life. This year a congresswoman told her constituents to harass Trump cabinet members saying: “They won’t be able to go to a restaurant, they won’t be able to stop at a gas station, they’re not going to be able to shop at a department store. The people are going to turn on them. They’re going to protest. They’re absolutely going to harass them until they decide that they’re going to tell the president, ‘No, I can’t hang with you.’”

Radical, left-wing “Antifa” groups attack whomever they perceive as “fascist” with increasing frequency and define the term to include most Republicans and conservatives. Bloody street brawls are getting commonplace. Other radical left groups advocate assassinations on twitter and other social media. Radical, right-wing activists have shot abortion doctors. The New York Times reports: “At least 11 people have been killed in attacks on abortion clinics in the United States since 1993.” A woman was run over and killed by a “Unite The Right” activist in Charlottesville last year.

With all this in mind, I invited local Civil War historian William Marvel of Conway, NH to appear on my “Left and Right” show and get his opinion. He’s at work on his 18th book about that awful conflict and I opened by asking him if he sees parallels between the political divisions in 2018 and 1860.
 
20180721180341003_hd.jpg
“Well, in many ways I do,” he said. “There is certainly the same sort of polarization, fragmentation among the major parties, hostility for opposing viewpoints.” He related a discussion with a friend at the local dump after the 2016 election “about whether we are more divided now than we have been since the Civil War. My conclusion was that we are as divided now. Whether it will lead to the same thing, I doubt.”
 
51805_527771203.jpg
“Oh good,” I said.

“But that’s only because divisions are among communities, not between communities. The geographic cohesiveness of the slave issue allowed for a regional contest… but certainly, the seeds of societal and governmental dissolution are there now, through simple fragmentation and hostility toward government, depending on who’s in charge.”

I remembered sound bites preceding documentaries on the Civil War describing that conflict as father against son and brother against brother. Well, today’s divisions have affected my family,” I said. “We no longer discuss politics at family gatherings. It’s verboten now because it’s become so emotional it threatens relationships.”

Marvel said he’s had similar experiences. Though his immediate family has almost all passed on, “I’ve had… virtually altercations with friends with whom I used to be in political concert.” He said he used to be liberal and twice voted for scumbag/liar-nObama, but now people perceive him as conservative. He doesn’t see that he’s changed much though. “To me, it’s society. In moving much farther to the left, society has made me look more conservative.”

“Well, we have certainly a lot of mob violence now,” he said, “almost entirely on the left…” Referring to Congresswoman scumbag/mad-Maxine Waters incitement he said, “An economic uprising among urban masses is possible, but whether that would lead to bloodshed I don’t know because, well, New York certainly has strict gun laws and I don’t know if a revolution could succeed on six-round magazines.”

He then speculated on the possibility of armed conflict that might spark a civil war. “That might come from outside. Oftentimes, when individual nations are divided between themselves, neighbors or rivals will take advantage of that. That often creates an international conflict that foments an internal rebellion. But the emotional impetus for that certainly is there.”

Mention of emotion led to a discussion of the Justice Kavanaugh hearings in the Senate as a window on America’s ever-deepening political divide. “Although I don’t know… how I would feel about Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court Justice, it’s more important now that he be confirmed to discredit and disavow the process that’s been used to try to destroy him. That’s more important, I think, than whatever his rise to the Supreme Court might yield.”

{washingtontimes.com} ~ Ali Larijani, speaker of the Iranian parliament, has described the United States as a “threat to the entire world.”... But his daughter Fatemeh Ardeshir-Larijani is safe in Ohio, where she recently completed the first year of her residency in internal medicine. In relative obscurity, she studies at the University Hospitals of Cleveland, which U.S. News & World Report has ranked among the nation’s best. Dr. Ardeshir-Larijani is one of several children of Iranian leaders who attend America’s universities and pursue opportunities in U.S. job markets. Nevertheless, their parents belong to a regime that persistently calls for America’s destruction. Meanwhile, Iran’s economy flounders, human rights abuses remain pervasive, water shortages threaten millions of lives and the ruling mullahs enrich themselves at the expense of the Iranian people. At the same time, when American students visit Iran, they may find themselves taken hostage, like Xiyue Wang of Princeton University, who received a 10-year prison sentence on spurious espionage charges last year. The Larijani family occupies a storied role in Iranian politics. Before Mr. Ali assumed the speakership in 2008, he was the secretary of Iran’s national security council and a chief nuclear negotiator. One of his brothers, Sadegh Amoli, is the head of Iran’s judiciary, which the Trump administration sanctioned in January for committing serious human rights abuses. Another brother, Mohammad Javad, is the secretary of the judiciary’s inaptly named High Council on Human Rights, which seeks to discredit Western criticism of Iran’s human rights record. All three are confidants of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who routinely calls America the “Great Satan” and warns about the adulterating influence of Western culture. Yet even as they demonize the United States, key Iranian officials often fail to mention that their children enjoy the freedom it provides. This reality constitutes yet another face of the regime’s corruption. As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo noted in an address to Iranian-Americans in July, Sadegh Amoli Larijani “is worth at least $300 million. He got this money from embezzling public funds into his own bank account.” Mr. Khamenei, for his part, presides over a business empire worth approximately $200 billion...

by Jeff Mordock 
{washingtontimes.com} ~ Attorney General Jeff Sessions unleashed a blistering assault on federal judges Monday... saying anti-Trump bias has led some to abandon their role as legal referees and become “political actors” erecting roadblocks to the president’s policies. In unusually stark language, Mr. Sessions suggested judges could soon face “calls for their replacement” if they don’t cool it. He blasted one judge who called the president’s policy toward illegal immigrants  “heartless,” and said another judge put “the inner workings of a Cabinet secretary’s mind” on trial to pave a path to block the government from asking about citizenship on the 2020 census. “Once we go down this road in American government, there is no turning back,” Mr. Sessions said in a speech to the conservative Heritage Foundation. “We are seeing it in case after case. When a hot-button policy issue ends up in litigation, judges are starting to believe their role is to examine the entire process that led to the policy decision — to redo the entire political debate in their courtrooms. Just ahead of the speech Mr. Sessions told The Washington Times that he saw anti-Trump resistance at play in some of the judges’ moves.

What Multiculturalism Hides

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Multiculturalism is not a manifestation of Europe's generosity, or some noble embodiment of love and truth... Multiculturalism is what remains after mass migration reveals itself as a threat, rather than a benefit, to the economies of European countries. Take, for instance, the example of France. After the Second World War, when France underwent a boom of economic growth, waves of migration were viewed favorably: there were many job opportunities for unskilled and medium-skilled laborers, and the native French population aspired to work in the tertiary sector, which offered more qualified, better-paid jobs. From the end of the war until the mid-1970s, foreign workers tended to come to France temporarily, without their families, and return to their countries of origin. These workers were generally recruited from former French colonies to do menial and low-paying jobs -- not in order to enrich the culture of the host country. At the end of the 1970s, that situation changed. Foreign workers began coming to France with their families and also having children after arriving in the country. At the same time, however, there were changes in the economy that ended up leaving descendants of the recruited workers hopeless. While their parents had experienced some upward mobility, they themselves -- even those with a higher level of education than their parents -- were left with fewer job opportunities and became a surplus on the labor market; they also did not have another place to go. In other words, they had been born in a country that suddenly had nothing to offer. The only thing that the government could come up with was a rationale for the dire situation -- a mission for these children of migrants: that they should enrich themselves culturally in the country to which their parents had migrated. This new policy of multiculturalism, which emphasizes the benefits of cultural diversity for society and the state, is an example of the exploitation of others based on a fantasy of virtue. Those at whom the sweet talk of multiculturalism is aimed, can see that it has done nothing to improve their lot, and are now realizing that their future is bleak...

socialist-Beto O'Rourke won't share

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Rep. socialist-Beto O'Rourke announced Monday that he will not share any of his $38.1 million war chest... even though dummycrats-Democratic bosses want the cash for more competitive states. The Texas dummycrats-Democrat told reporters after a campaign rally that he will not spare any expense in his own race and plans to leave all the money he has raised out on the field ahead of Election Day. He said if people who contributed to him want to do so for another campaign, they should do that. socialist-O'Rourke raised an eye-watering $38.1 million from July to September. "No," socialist-O'Rourke told a reporter when asked if he would commit to sharing funds with Senate dummycrats-Democratic candidates who are in closer races. "I'm focused on Texas. Most of our contributions have come from Texas. All of them have come from people. Not a dime from PACs." "Folks contributed to this race because they want us to win this race. If they want to contribute to another campaign, of course they're welcome to do that," socialist-O'Rourke said. "No, we're going to spare no expense. We will bear any burden to make sure that we deliver for this state and for this country. That means a victory on the 6th of November." The New York Times reported that some dummycrats-Democrats are worried that socialist-O'Rourke could finish his campaign in three weeks with funds in the bank that could otherwise help more endangered dummycrats-Democrats in states like Missouri, Florida, and Indiana as he falls further behind incumbent Sen.

MEF Uncovers scumbag/liar-nObama-era 
Scandal; Congress Investigates
by meforum.org  

{meforum.org} ~ An investigative report by the Middle East Forum has prompted the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to initiate an investigation... into a 2014 decision by the scumbag/liar-nObama administration. The U.S. Treasury Department listed the Islamic Relief Agency (ISRA, aka the Islamic Africa Relief Agency), a Sudanese organization in 2004 a “Specially Designated Terrorist Organization.” It did so because ISRA provided "direct financial support" to Osama bin Laden; "was responsible for moving funds to the Palestinian territories for use in terrorist activities"; and “serves as a conduit to Hamas.” The Forum’s Sam Westrop exposed in National Review that in 2014, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) approved a $200,000 grant to the Islamic Relief Agency (ISRA) in Sudan through World Vision, Inc. The project was temporarily suspended in November 2014 after USAID and the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) were alerted to ISRA’s terror links. However, after confirming ISRA’s status as a sanctioned entity, the Forum uncovered that OFAC nonetheless authorized a $125,000 transfer to ISRA in May 2015 after “close collaboration and consultations with the Department of State.” This done, Charles Wanjue, a USAID official exulted: “Good news and a great relief, really!” The Forum’s findings – reported by Fox News, i24 News, Breitbart, the Daily Mail (UK), and many others – resulted from a successful Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against USAID, countless hours poring through documents, and working with an investigator in Khartoum...  https://www.meforum.org/articles/2018/mef-uncovers-obama-era-scandal-congress-investiga?utm_source=Middle+East+Forum&utm_campaign=67dc11ffce-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_16_05_42&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_086cfd423c-67dc11ffce-33703665&goal=0_086cfd423c-67dc11ffce-33703665

Scalise Warns Against dummycrats-Dems Stoking Uncivilized Anger

by Political Editors:  In a recent Fox News op-ed, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) called out dummycrats-Democrat leaders over their use of uncivilized and threatening rhetoric. He specifically noted recent statements made by liar-Hillary Clinton about how  dummycrats-Democrats “cannot be civil” with Republicans, as well as comments from former Attorney General scumbag-Eric Holder, who encouraged the audience at a campaign rally to “kick” Republicans when they “go low.”

             Scalise warned that the political rhetoric coming from dummycrats-Democrats has only served to stoke burning anger among leftists and “incite even more harassment and violence.” He knows what he’s talking about given his own “near-death experience at the hands of a deranged shooter who sought to assassinate a baseball field of Republicans.”
               After listing several recent incidents of threats and violence leveled against conservatives and the fact that these incidents are only growing, Scalise appealed to his dummycrats-Democrat colleagues to condemn the violent vitriolic rhetoric and to strive for civility. “A healthy, strong democracy is not possible if anyone lives in fear of expressing their views,” Scalise wrote. “In America, we win battles at the ballot box, not through mob rule or intimidation. While it’s clear many dummycrats-Democrats refuse to accept the election of President Trump, if they want change, they need to convince people with their ideas and actually win elections, rather than call for violent resistance, harassment, and mob rule.
               We truly hope that dummycrats-Democrat leaders heed Scalise’s admonition and that there is a quick end to the violent rhetoric now being expressed by far too many on the Left.

{frontpagemag.com} ~ The preface of the official government report, 9/11 and  Terrorist Travel began with the following paragraph... It is perhaps obvious to state that terrorists cannot plan and carry out attacks in the United States if they are unable to enter the country. Yet prior to September 11, while there were efforts to enhance border security, no agency of the U.S. government thought of border security as a tool in the counterterrorism arsenal. Indeed, even after 19 hijackers demonstrated the relative ease of obtaining a U.S. visa and gaining admission into the United States, border security still is not considered a cornerstone of national security policy. We believe, for reasons we discuss in the following pages, that it must be made one. That report was authored by the federal agents and attorneys who were assigned to the 9/11 Commission.  The 9/11 Commission was created and tasked with conducting an exhaustive investigation into how the 9/11 terrorists were able to carry out the most deadly terror attack in the history of the United States. Indeed, the 19 hijacker-terrorists slaughtered more innocent victims on September 11, 2001 than did the Japanese fleet at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and the death toll continues to rise as still more people, including valiant first responders succumb to illness directly attributable to the toxins they were exposed to when the World Trade Center Complex was reduced to rubble. Today more than 10,000 people are being treated for illnesses directly related to those terror attacks. The mission for the 9/11 Commission was not simply to document that which had transpired on that horrific day, but to identify the vulnerabilities that enabled those attacks to be carried out so that remedial measures could be implemented to prevent future attacks...

The mechanism provides for Iran to export crude oil to Russia across the Caspian Sea. The oil will then be refined at Russian refineries, and from there it will be exported worldwide, the “secret” Israeli document states, according to a report on Hadashot TV news on Sunday. In return, Moscow will provide Iran with unspecified trade and service benefits.The goal of the mechanism, the reported Israeli document makes clear, is to enable Iran to bypass the US sanctions on its oil industry that are set to come into force on November 4...  https://www.timesofisrael.com/putin-rouhani-deal-will-ensure-iran-avoids-us-oil-sanctions-israel-said-to-warn/?utm_source=The+Daily+Edition&utm_campaign=daily-edition-2018-10-15&utm_medium=email

They no longer have any grounds for going to court to get a subpoena to compel the president to testify. dirty cop-Mueller’s fatal mistake was revealed Saturday in The New York Times story titled, “White House Counsel, Don McGahn, Has Cooperated Extensively in dirty cop-Mueller Inquiry.” Michael Schmidt and Maggie Haberman reported that there were at least 30 hours of interviews between the dirty cop-Mueller team and the White House Counsel. Don McGahn asserted throughout the interviews that “he never saw Mr. Trump go beyond his legal authorities.” McGahn’s cooperation is historically unique because President Trump waived both executive privilege and attorney-client privilege. President Trump was so confident of his innocence that he waived both of these protections to allow the Special Counsel to thoroughly question the White House attorney...  https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/newt-gingrich-muellers-fatal-mistake

Abrams was speaking with supporters at the Clayton County campaign office during an event with Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren (D., Mass.).

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley’s sudden resignation this week distressed a lot of Israelis. On the face of things, the widely felt concern makes little sense. After all, Haley wasn’t a lone wolf in the Trump administration.

Then-president Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s anti-Israel UN ambassadors Susan Rice and Samantha Power weren’t free agents when they took hostile actions and made hostile statements about Israel. They were speaking and acting as representatives of their boss,  
scumbag/liar-nObama.
 
Just so, in defending Israel by word and deed, Haley was a loyal representative of the policies of her boss, President Donald Trump.

So why did her decision to resign make so many Israelis anxious?

Because while Haley was a loyal representative of the administration, she was more than a mouthpiece. She was a leader.

Leading in a place like the UN means speaking truth to the most powerful sort of mob – the elite mob.

The UN’s mob mentality doesn’t manifest itself in book burnings and mass rallies. Rather, it expresses itself in a thousand ways – often passive-aggressive – every day in UN institutions.

It isn’t just that Haley was forced to cast the lone nay vote last December, when the other 14 Security Council members including Britain and France voted in a favor of a resolution demanding that the US reverse its sovereign decision to move its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and recognize that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital city.

Every day, the UN shows its mob mentality in its obsessive-compulsive bias against the Jewish state.

Wednesday, for instance, UNESCO passed yet another resolution that pretends the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron and Rachel’s Tomb are Palestinian world heritage sites.

Disgusted by UNESCO’s out-of-control antisemitism, last year the Trump administration announced it would leave the organization at the end of 2018.

Citing UNESCO’s moves in Hebron from last year as the impetus for the US action, Haley said at the time that UNESCO’s politicization was a “chronic embarrassment.”

“Just as we said in 1985 when President Reagan withdrew from UNESCO, US taxpayers should no longer be on the hook to pay for policies that are hostile to our values and make a mockery of justice and common sense, ” she said.

Haley was a leader at the UN because she used her bully pulpit to stand up to the braying mob every day. She put a mirror to the faces of ambassadors from allied and enemy nations alike and told them to be ashamed of themselves for joining, and sometimes leading the mob.

Like all mobs – elite and common – the UN mob rejects facts. They reject rationality and reason in favor of passions and prejudices. The herd mentality of the UN protects tyrannies and renders free nations – first and foremost Israel – perpetually vulnerable. It rejects sovereignty and insists on uniformity of actions that invariably assists the causes of tyrants while harming the interests of free nations – again, first and foremost, Israel – as well as the US.

Haley’s leadership was critical because one of the most overlooked truths in public discourse, whether at the UN or anywhere else, is that telling inconvenient truths to mobs is a vital undertaking. Without people willing to stand up forcefully, and even sometimes brutally, to powerful mobs that uphold falsehoods as truth, the mobs will never change. They will never accept reality, even if it blows up in their faces.

One of the places where a powerful leader like Haley is desperately needed is among Israel’s foreign policy and security elites.

Much has been said over the past several years about the uniformity of the views of Israel’s legal fraternity. State prosecutors and Supreme Court justices have for years been criticized, often bitterly, for their uniform left-wing bias. This bias has made a mockery of the rule of law in Israel where Israeli residents in Judea and Samaria, free market politicians, the IDF and rabbinical authorities know that they will be subjected to biased treatment at the hands of the legal fraternity.

Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked’s recruitment of conservative justices to the Supreme Court is rightly upheld as one of her major achievements in office. But arguably, an equally important accomplishment has been her willingness to speak bluntly to Israel’s legal establishment about their institutional bias and the deleterious impact their bias has had on the Israeli democratic system of governance and the rule of law. Until Shaked came along, no one in a position of real authority was willing to stand before Supreme Court justices and tell them to be ashamed of themselves for their constant assaults on the very foundations of Israeli democracy.

Unfortunately, Israel’s legal fraternity isn’t the only old boys’ mob where people whose views are out of step with the ruling elite are permanently shut out. Israel’s national security fraternity suffers from the same problem.

We see this most dramatically in relation to the Palestinians, although the institutional bias of Israel’s national security community is brought to bear along a spectrum of issues.

The Oslo peace process with the PLO was initiated 25 years ago. It was predicated on the “land for peace paradigm” long championed by the radical left. It failed incontrovertibly 18 years ago when the PLO rejected statehood and peace, instead initiating a massive terror war against Israel in conjunction with Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

Since then, virtually not a day has gone by without another Palestinian terror attack against Israelis. Rather than reach the appropriate conclusion 18 years ago – that the land for peace paradigm was wrong – the security establishment writ large, maintained faith with it. Instead of abandoning the paradigm, they, like the political left, simply updated their marketing practices. Talk of “peace” was out. First it was replaced by “separation.” Then “demography.” Then “democracy.” Then “disengagement.” Then “consolidation.”

We got “long term security arrangements.”

We got “settlement blocs vs. isolated settlements.”

And then we started getting “separation again.”

But the idea was always the same: land for peace.

As for the Palestinians, year in and year out we hear the same things, even as they are repackaged as being pathbreaking.

We are told that we have to “strengthen” Palestinian Authority chief, terror financier and virulent Jew hater Mahmoud Abbas.

Why?

Because he’s a moderate.

We need to invest in the kleptocratic wholly corrupt Palestinian economy.

Why?

Because it’s the way to make the Palestinian people feel a “peace dividend.”

THE FACT that more than $10 billion in international aid and billions more in Israeli aid have been invested in developing the Palestinian economy for 25 years and we’ve never seen a peace dividend, is no reason to stop paying them off.

All that the likes of Saudi Arabia need, to stand at Israel’s side and be part of a “regional solution,” is proof of Israel’s peaceful intentions. So Israel, we are told by the apolitical security experts, needs to make clear that it is leaving Judea and Samaria in whole or part.

The fact that the Arabs never agreed to be part of a regional solution – and wouldn’t even embrace Israel publicly when it was actively engaged in giving land to the PLO – makes no difference to Israel’s national security-experts mob.

The fact that the Arab world is plagued by political instability, which makes it impossible to bank on long-term relations with any Arab regime is also immaterial. Israel needs to give the Palestinians land to convince the Arabs to support us. And they will. We just know they will.

Politically, Israel also needs to act on behalf of the PA. We need to help strengthen it. The fact that 25 years of Israeli and international efforts to “build institutions” in the PA have brought no results beyond instilling Nazi-like Jew hatred in the hearts and minds of the Palestinian public is entirely beside the point.

And then there are the Palestinian security forces. The Israeli security brass says they are the greatest. We need to strengthen them and cooperate even more with them. The fact that dozens of Palestinian security force members have engaged in terrorist attacks against Israel is immaterial. Indeed, it’s irrelevant. So is the fact that Hamas, which those forces fight, constitutes a greater threat to those security services than it does to Israel.

Every few months, these positions are repackaged and presented to the public by a group of retired generals. They tell us to trust them because they were generals in the IDF or senior commanders in the Mossad and Shin Bet. They are professionals. They are apolitical. Zionism is their only agenda.

All criticism against these unbiased, entirely professional, apolitical experts is castigated as politically motivated. Their critics are dismissed as fanatics, or messianics, or right-wing extremists.

LAST WEEK, we saw this process unfold yet again with the launch of yet another “groundbreaking” report about the way “forward” with the Palestinians, produced by Tel Aviv University’s elite Institute for National Security Studies, staffed by retired senior security brass.

The INSS report titled, “A Political-Security Framework for the Israeli-Palestinian Arena” was, we are told, the result of two years of work.

Led by Maj.-Gen. (res.) Amos Yadlin, the INSS’s professional, apolitical researchers met with Americans, Europeans, Palestinians – and Arabs from states without peace with Israel – to talk about the way to move forward with the Palestinians.

And, surprise, surprise, they came up with the same failed “land for peace” plan that the Left has come up with for the last 25 years.

The INSS’s “pathbreaking” report contains no reconsideration of any consistently failed strategic assumptions.

Which brings us back to Haley and the Trump administration she so ably represented.

The INSS “experts” claim that Israel needs to seize the opportunity that the friendly Trump administration affords us to set a new agenda with the Palestinians.

But while this assertion is true enough, the INSS report – like all the reports of security “experts” that preceded it – does no such thing. Instead, the INSS’s wise men and women, with their vast national security experience, tell us that we should use Trump’s time in office to convince the friendliest US administration in history to embrace the policies of the most unfriendly US administrations in the history of US-Israel ties. They advocate convincing Trump to embrace the same policies they have advocated, which have failed consistently for a generation.

Haley’s replacement will likely share her positions on Israel and her criticisms of the UN’s institutional antisemitism, since her successor will also be representing the Trump administration. But it is hard to imagine her replacement will replicate the extraordinary moral leadership she exercised.

This is not because he or she will be less moral, but because, as the mob mentality of Israel’s security brass shows, leaders like Haley – who can effectively stand up to braying mobs of well-heeled elitists – don’t grow on trees.

Saudis to Admit Killing Reporter in Interrogation That Went Bad

{westernjournal.com} ~ Saudi Arabia is believed to be preparing a report admitting that journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed... during an interrogation that went wrong. Citing two unnamed sources, CNN reported Monday that those involved in detaining Khashoggi intended to take him from Turkey. “One source says the report will likely conclude that the operation was carried out without clearance and transparency and that those involved will be held responsible,” according to CNN. Another source cautioned that the report concerning  Khashoggi, who wrote for The Washington Post, is still being prepared and its conclusions may change. President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday, “I just spoke with the King of Saudi Arabia who denies any knowledge of what took place with regard to, as he said, his Saudi Arabian citizen.” Trump added, “I’ve asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to immediately get on a plane, go to Saudi Arabia. Go to other places if necessary, which he probably will.” The president indicated that one of the other places Pompeo would likely go is Turkey. Trump said that his conversation with Saudi King Salman led him to believe that Khashoggi could have been the victim of “rogue killers.”...

Sorry folks, but this absolutely confirms the ongoing corruption within the DOJ that Attorney General Jeff Sessions is allowing... This is a Trump administration cover-up. Senate Security Chief James Wolfe was given a plea deal by the DOJ allowing him to plead guilty to a single count of lying to federal authorities, and avoiding all other consequences. The DOJ never openly admitted that Wolfe leaked the 83 Page FISA application on March 17th, 2017 from the Senate Intelligence Committee; and the media have never admitted to receiving it.  This pleading today covers-up the entire scheme and throws a blanket over massive and consequential downstream ramifications to the Senate Intelligence Committee and U.S. Media that will now remain hidden.  FUBAR !Former veteran Senate Intelligence Committee staffer James Wolfe pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of making false statements to federal agents...

Boston Globe Issues Second Correction 
On Liz dinky-Warren DNA Story

by Amber Athey
{dailycaller.com} ~ The Boston Globe issued a second correction on its story about the results... of dummycrats-Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren’s DNA test that showed she has some Native American ancestry. The Boston Globe originally claimed that the DNA test revealed dinky-Warren was somewhere between 1/32 and 1/512 Native American. However, eagle-eyed readers soon spotted mistakes in the Boston Globe’s math. The Boston Globe issued a correction early Monday indicating that if dinky-Warren’s ancestor were 10 generations removed, she would be 1/1024 Native American — not 1/512. The outlet then issued a second correction on Monday afternoon, clarifying that it had gotten the entire range of ancestry wrong. “Due to a math error, a story about Elizabeth dinky-Warren misstated the ancestry percentage of a potential 6th to 10th generation relative. The generational range based on the ancestor that the report identified suggests she’s between 1/64th and 1/1,024th Native American,” the Globe explained. This means dinky-Warren is somewhere between 0.09 and 1.5 percent Native American, not between .19 and 3.1 percent as originally claimed. She is not an Native American Indian.

West Virginia Is In A Full Blown Constitutional Crisis

{dailycaller.com} ~ West Virginia is in the grips of a constitutional crisis... as the state’s highest court effectively ended an impeachment proceeding against one of its own members. The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals ruled that the state legislature exceeded its authority in impeaching its own chief justice, Margaret Workman, for violations of the state judicial conduct code. Should Workman be removed from office, she would become the fourth justice in as many months to leave the court in disgrace. West Virginia’s Supreme Court has been in a state of disarray since the summer. A full complement of duly elected justices sat on the court in June of this year: Workman and Justices Robin Jean Davis, Menis Ketchum, Beth Walker and Allen Loughry. Since then, Loughry  and Ketchum have been convicted on fraud charges in federal court, Davis retired to avoid an impeachment trial, and Workman and Walker were impeached by the state legislature. GOP Gov. Jim Justice appointed two interim justices to the vacant Davis and Ketchum seats in August. Workman appointed a third acting justice to replace Loughry...

‘Cult City’ Comes Out Today

{spectator.org} ~ Today marks the day I have been waiting ten years for. Cult City: Jim Jones, Harvey Milk, and 10 Days That Shook San Francisco officially became available for purchase a few hours ago... I toiled over my sixth book, off and on, for the last decade. That’s a record for me, and one that I hope I never surpass. By way of comparison, my previous book, The War on Football: Saving America’s Game, took about a year to write. The writing came mostly in my attic. The research primarily took place at the California Historical Society, San Francisco Public Library, and Library of Congress. I interviewed about 30 eyewitnesses to history, including one of three people still with us—and one of just nine total 40 years ago—in Jonestown when the killing began to live to tell the tale, Dan White’s chief of staff who detailed a startling confession of violence that his boss made to him, and former friends and rivals of Harvey Milk who shared his homosexuality but not always a fondness for him. It got really interesting for me. To spread the news, I wrote this piece for National Review Online and this article for the Washington Examiner. Hopefully people read them and want to read the book. It’s ten years in the making at my end. But the amazing story that this book focuses on occurred forty years ago, so Cult City really comes four decades in the making. The basic theme is this: before the poor drank the Kool-Aid in South America, the powerful in San Francisco did. The same people who made Jim Jones unmade him, at least his associations with politicians, journalists, and celebrities. Many took pains to obscure the truth, which helps explain why this book comes out all these years later. The truth is never too late, and, for me at least, was never so interesting.

These Murders Were Brought to You
by the Two State Solution
terror%2Bvictims3.jpg

by Daniel Greenfield 

{sultanknish.blogspot.com} ~ ”May Allah send the message I am longing for," Ashraf Walid Suleiman wrote on his Facebook page.  

Then he went on to murder two Israelis, tying the hands of Kim Levengrond Yehezkel, a receptionist working toward her law degree, and the mother of a 16 month old baby, and Ziv Hajbi, the father of twin boys, before shooting them at close range.

A 58-year-old woman was left with a gunshot wound in the stomach after she burst in on the Islamic terrorist while he was busy doing Allah’s work. 

That was the message from Allah that Ashraf, Hamas and the Palestinian Authority were looking for. 

"The Palestinian people everywhere praise the heroic operation," Hamas wrote, gloating over the heroism of tying up a 28-year-old receptionist before killing her. The Palestinian Authority will be paying a salary to Ashraf if he’s captured alive and will be making payments to his family if he’s killed. 

At the United Nations, Mahmoud Abbas, the unelected leader of the Palestinian Authority, and the boss of Fatah and the PLO, which control the terrorist entity, called terrorists, “hero martyrs”. 

"By Allah, even if we have only a penny left it will only be spent on the families of the Martyrs and the prisoners, and only afterwards will it be spent on the rest of the people,” Abbas had declared in July. 

Two days later, Yotam Ovadia, heading home to prepare a romantic dinner for his wife, was stabbed to death. 

“The heart breaks at the sound of your little son calling ‘Abba, Abba.’ 'Daddy, Daddy'," his father-in-law said at his funeral.

In September, it was Ari Fuld, an American father of four who moved to Israel, who was stabbed in the back outside a supermarket. Despite his wounds, he managed to chase down his killer, before dying. The family of the killer, Khalil Yusef Ali Jabarin, will receive a monthly salary from the PA. 

These murders were paid for by the peace process. They were funded by the supporters of the two state solution. The solution that has solved nothing except how Islamic terrorist groups pay killers to murder fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, at a supermarket, at work or on the way home. 

When the Democrats denounce President Trump’s pressure on the PLO, his cuts in foreign aid, his expulsion of the PLO office in Washington D.C., these are the crimes that they are supporting. 

The two state solution isn’t peace. The PLO and Hamas have never been at peace with Israel. It’s two Rabbis murdered in January and February. It’s a receptionist wondering until the last moment whether she will make it home to her baby. It’s Hava Roizen, a Russian immigrant from the Soviet Union, who worked as a photographer, hit by a car. And it’s the terror victims of tomorrow. And the day after. 

As the leader of the Palestinian Authority has made painfully clear, even the last “penny” given to that terrorist organization will be spent to finance the murder of Jews. Any dollar, pound, euro and yen given to the Palestinian Authority is blood money. It’s not only the terrorists who have blood on their hands. 

It’s the supporters of the two state solution whose hands are covered in the blood of its victims. 

The proponents of the two state solution are a terror lobby. And this terror lobby claims to be liberal, while funding an Islamic terror state, it claims to be Zionist while defending Islamic terrorists who want to destroy Israel, and it claims to represent true Jewish values while funding the murder of Jews. 

"I will bury him at the age of 35. What have I done wrong in my life? He's leaving little children behind, 7-year-old twins, a 4 and a half-year-old boy. What is their mother supposed to tell them?" Ziv Hajbi's mother demanded. 

Tell them that American liberal Jews, love the left more than they love decency, morality or other Jews. 

That’s why they continue to support the PLO. 

A week after the murder of Ari Fuld, Dana Milbank at the Washington Post, wrote, “America’s Jews are watching Israel in horror”. He didn’t mean the horror of an American Jew being buried after a murder funded by their tax dollars. Nor did he mean horror at his own complicity in the crime. 

Dana was horrified that Israel was defending itself to even the most limited degree from the killers. 

He quoted his ‘Rabbi’, who according to Milbank “comes from Zionist royalty”, fulminating that, “the current government of Israel has turned its back on Zionism.” But by Zionism, Dana and his ‘Rabbi’ don’t mean the simple act of preserving Israel and the lives of people like Kim, Ziv, Ari and Yotam. Instead their idea of Zionism is a “negotiated peace” with the killers whose crimes are made possible by the illusion of negotiations. There has been a generation of negotiations and no end to Islamic terror. 

Israel hasn’t turned its back on Zionism. The Jewish enablers of the PLO, of the terrorist killers, have. In an Orwellian twist, they have redefined Zionism to mean the destruction of Israel. Israel’s government, which fights for the Jewish State’s survival, is therefore anti-Zionist, while the lefties who want to destroy Israel are the true Zionists. Up is down. Left is right. And a generation of terror is peace. 

“The current government in Israel has, like Esau, sold its birthright,” Milbank quotes his ‘Rabbi’. 

Israel has not sold its birthright. Those American Jews who chose terrorists over Israel have. 

They have sold out Israel for a chance to be at the next Women’s March, right behind its Farrakhan loving leaders. They sold Israel for an scumbag/liar-nObama speech, for a cocktail party and for fitting in on the left. 

Esau sold his birthright in a moment of hunger. They sold theirs out of cowardice and treachery. They paid for it with lies. Their manicured hands are covered in the blood of Israeli terror victims. 

And it still isn’t enough. They never stop shouting for more. 

More money for the terrorists. More land for their terror bases. More terrorists freed from prison. And more dead bodies in the cemeteries. More fathers and mothers who never come home to their children. 

What can Ziv’s wife tell their children? She can tell them that Dana Milbank, that his ‘Rabbi’, that J Street, that six hundred other useless organizations and six hundred thousand useless individuals, may not believe in G-d, Zionism or that Jews have the same right to defend themselves as any other people. 

But they do believe in funding the terrorists who murdered Ziv. They believe in the two state solution, with two growing Islamic terrorist states shooting, bombing and rocketing their way across Israel. 

And they believe that the lack of peace is never the fault of the terrorists whom they have funded for a generation, but it is always the fault of the Jews who have yet to sufficiently appease the terrorists. 

Abbas and Ashraf swear by Allah. But it isn’t Allah, the figment of a murderous desert warlord’s vanity and greed, that took these lives. It’s the two state solution. It’s the blood money pouring into the PLO. 

These murders were brought to you by the two state solution. The next ones will be too. 

And those responsible for feeding the blood money into the murder machine will condemn Israel’s “ultranationalist”, “nationalist”, “apartheid” government. They will pound their pulpits, feign tears over Israel’s betrayal of democracy and human rights, and then warn that Israel is about to lose their support. 

Netanyahu, "is dissolving America’s bipartisan pro-Israel consensus in favor of an unstable alliance of end-times Christians, orthodox Jews and wealthy conservatives", Milbank threatens. 

That would be the bipartisan pro-Israel consensus that turned over a sizable portion of Israel to Islamic terrorists, that has taken the side of the terrorists at every turn and that insists on financing the terrorists. 

You’re not pro-Israel if you fund the murder of Israelis. You’re the very definition of anti-Israel. 

If that’s a pro-Israel bipartisan consensus, bring on the partisan pro-Israel consensus. The one that doesn’t pay lip service with empty resolutions while funding the murder of Jews, but that ends America’s generation of support for the terrorists that took the lives of Kim, Ziv, Ari and all the others.

{legalinsurrection.com} ~ I appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight to discuss Elizabeth dinky-Warren’s DNA test and the controversy surrounding her claim to be Native American... I covered the story earlier Elizabeth dinky-Warren DNA test does NOT prove she’s Native American, contrary to the hype. Here is the video of my appearance and a couple of key quotes: “This is a woman who built her political narrative claiming that other people are rigging the system. She tried to rig her career by claiming a status to which she’s not entitled.” “Does it really matter whether she benefitted. She tried to benefit. She tried to get an advantage over other people by claiming a status to which she’s not entitled. It’s the worst form of cultural appropriation, or misappropriation, which is a very hot topic in progressive circles. She tried to misappropriate the identity of one of the most victimized people in history, or at least in recent history, which is Native Americans. And progressives seem not to care.”

Swamp Thing: Undercover Video Reveals McCaskills’s 
Extensive Efforts to Deceive Voters

{saraacarter.com} ~ Unbelievable undercover footage released by Project Veritas and James O’Keefe Monday night... revealed the extensive efforts dummycrats-Democratic lawmakers are willing to deploy to deceive American voters heading into the 2018 election. The shocking video shows staffers for Sen. Claire McCaskill telling undercover journalists the legislator’s stunning “true” beliefs regarding a series of key issues; including gun control, impeaching President Trump, and more. “So you would be on board with banning the bump stocks and… high capacity mags?” asked the undercover reporter. “Of course! Of course!” said McCaskill.“ She doesn’t openly go out and support groups like ‘Mom’s Demand Action’ or just like other groups that are related to that. Because that could hurt, her ability to get elected,” added one staffer.“ A semi-automatic rifle ban is more so what she would support,” said another McCaskill insider. “This undercover report shows just how broken our political system has become. Senator McCaskill hides her true views from voters because she knows they won’t like them,” said Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe.

Too Deep To Drain – Aspects Lost in the James Wolfe Pleading

{theconservativetreehouse.com} ~ Perhaps a reset of sorts is in order to understand why and how the DOJ is covering-up the most damaging evidence toward... the institutions of the Senate, the DOJ and the FBI. The discussion must first reset to a key distinction: What we know of the DOJ and FBI events, is entirely different from what the DOJ and FBI have admitted to. #1) The DOJ and FBI have never officially said, or made a statement about, the FISA Court having sent a copy of the FISA application against Carter Page to the Senate Intelligence Committee on March 17, 2017. That knowledge has come from our independent research and review of the released parts of the FISA application. #2) The DOJ and FBI have never said, or made any statement toward, the FISC application being leaked by the Senate Intelligence Committee on March 17, 2017, by SSCI director of security James Wolfe.  That knowledge has come from our independent research and review of the: (a) Wolfe indictment; and (b) the released FISA application. #3) The DOJ never indicted SSCI Security Director James Wolfe with leaking the FISA application. Nor did the FBI or DOJ technically ever state within the indictment that Wolfe received, let alone leaked, the FISA application. Within the Wolfe Indictment, the FBI did describe with some detail the type of document sent to the SSCI and the date therein March 17, 2017.  It was later, when the FISA application was released July, 2018, when we could compare the description within the indictment, align dates and pages with the FISA documents, and put those issues together...

{freebeacon.com} ~ Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen will press European leaders on Monday to ramp up cyber-defense capabilities... as a growing number of adversaries work to interfere in elections. Using the playbook established by Russia during the 2016 U.S. presidential election, countries such as China, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela are attempting to delegitimize western elections, Rasmussen will warn. "We cannot wait until after the European elections to take concerted action against election interference," Rasmussen will tell the European Commission at a conference on election security in Brussels, according to an advanced copy of his speech. "Some of the most powerful nations on this planet have been targeted. Nations whose leader pledges to respond with ‘fire and fury' to military attacks. Yet they are muted when their own citizens' right to choose their representatives is under assault. Now we see the consequences of our inaction."...

Is Elizabeth dinky-Warren an 'Honest Injun'?
0Mb9iVCKnBv1mt1hl41IdcZZEzpEb6SgR4C9J70I77rWfPFgNMEGPHjzTdXNDrPlbPzR6gCZ0cPto2WkF0pWly8x0Dw-7ztVW4ChtlZoAGFOl4IuyFp1QVxsNqnZAoGYVGedIAmq9I1CI4Uu7Aze0rNjTIp70QY2ZfbGZlYj_JM=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450
by Mark Alexander:  As Elizabeth dinky-Warren lays the groundwork for her long-denied 2020 presidential bid, she’s out — again — with another defense of her claimed “Cherokee ancestry,” this time with a contrived DNA test. Clearly, she would like to get her “Fauxcahontas” lie out of the way before 2020.

             We’ve previously called out her “identity” issue, but now,   according to her fanboys at The Boston Globe, “dinky-Warren has released a DNA test that provides ‘strong evidence’ she had a Native American in her family tree dating back 6 to 10 generations.” By the end of the day, the Globe issued this correction: “Due to a math error, a story about Elizabeth dinky-Warren misstated the ancestry percentage of a potential 10th generation relative. It should be 1/1,024.
               Furthermore, buried in the report is this gem: “To make up for the dearth of Native American DNA, [Stanford University professor Carlos D. Bustamante] used samples from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia to stand in for Native American.” Nevertheless, to tell the difference, “Bustamante said he can tease out the markers that these South Americans would have in common with Native Americans on the North American continent.” So she’s definitely at least 1/1,024 Mexican, Peruvian, or Colombian. Or something.
               Vindication? Hardly. “By that measure,” observes Matt Walsh, “almost everyone in America is a minority.” In fact, most white Americans have twice that much “native” DNA.
               Recall Trump’s challenge to dinky-Warren: “I will give $1 million to your favorite charity … if you take the test and it shows you’re an Indian.” Fact is, by dinky-Warren’s definition of “Native American,” it is highly probable that Trump has more native  ancestry than she does.
               Our friend Michelle Malkin suggests, “1/1024 ‘Native American’ indirectly derived from South American genetic markers is ‘proof’ of Native heritage? 1/1024 of $1 million = $976.56. President Trump should donate that amount in Monopoly money, which is as genuine as dinky-Warren’s claim.” We suggest he donate it directly to her campaign, and we recommend this old Cher song, “Half Breed,” as dinky-Warren’s campaign theme song!
               Brazenly, dinky-Warren is calling on Trump to pay up: “Remember saying on that you’d give $1M to a charity of my choice if my DNA showed Native American ancestry? Please send the check to the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center.”
               Actually, Trump said if “the test … shows you’re an Indian.” We will defer to the Cherokee Nation elders for their opinion on that.
               On behalf of the Cherokee Nation, its Secretary of State Chuck Hoskin protested: “Using a DNA test to lay claim to any connection to the Cherokee Nation or any tribal nation, even vaguely, is inappropriate and wrong. It … dishonors legitimate tribal governments and their citizens, whose ancestors are well documented and whose heritage is proven. Senator dinky-Warren is undermining tribal interests with her continued claims of tribal heritage.”
               As partial penance for her shameful lie, it is dinky-Warren who should send a check to the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center.
               And dinky-Warren thought this charade would lay her disputed claim to rest? On her promotion of the DNA report as “proof” of her native ancestry, conservative commentator Allie Beth Stuckey observed, “This is like spiking the ball after scoring a touchdown in the other team’s end zone.” It’s a permanent stain on her campaign.
               More important than dinky-Warren’s pitifully weak ancestry “proof” remains the primary question about how she used this faux ancestral claim at the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard. She declared herself to be Native American at both institutions and fooled them, so, in keeping with her elitist arrogance, she is certain she can fool her dummycrats-Democrat constituents!
               Clearly, among her genetic markers is a significant one for lying. dinky-Warren is a wealthy, disingenuous socialist, and that’s about as un-American as it gets.

School database provider sued for giving kids porn

by BOB UNRUH
{wnd.com} ~ A company that provides database resources to public schools, including pornography embedded in computer files, is being sued... by the Thomas More Society under Colorado’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act for boasting its products are age-appropriate. “These databases definitely are not age-appropriate, nor can parents consider them reliable, as EBSCO claims,” said Matt Heffron, the organization’s senior counsel. Along with EBSCO, the lawsuit names the Colorado Library Consortium, a tax-supported organization that “knowingly” brokers EBSCO’s “pornographic databases to schools and libraries,” the legal organization said. Colorado law makes it illegal to make false claims to sell a product. “This case is about two things: protecting children and calling out corporate deceit,” Heffron said. “EBSCO gets schools to purchase databases by falsely promising the databases are age-appropriate and specifically tailored for elementary, middle and high school children.”...  https://www.wnd.com/2018/10/school-database-provider-sued-for-giving-kids-porn/

{clarionproject.org} ~ ISIS had its eyes on President Donald Trump since he was elected. Now it has been revealed that an ISIS plot to assassinate Trump was foiled... by the Secret Service during Trump’s visit to the Philippines for the ASEAN 50 Summit in November 2017. Although agents picked up certain details of the attacker, just 20 minutes before Trump touched down in Manila, they still had not located the terrorist. “Gonna be in Manila the same time as Trump… I’ll take one for the team lads,” tweeted the terrorist with a mugshot of Lee Harvey Oswald. On his Instagram account, the suspect posted his picture holding a copy of the book How to Kill: The Definitive History of the Assassin. Agents were able to track the location of the suspect through the IP address of posts to downtown Manila, just miles from the president’s hotel. Further monitoring showed he was heading in the direction of the hotel. The suspect was eventually tracked down to Manila’s Luneta Park and, with the help of local police, a sweep was made of the park and he was caught. The dramatic story will be told in a report on the National Geographic channel scheduled to air October 21.  https://clarionproject.org/how-isis-plot-to-assassinate-trump-was-foiled/

Newly created Facebook rules that don’t even apply to my page or my personal profile to which was also removed from Facebook.

CNN, NBC, ABC, Fox News, Politico, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Daily Wire, Hot Air, the Blaze and more ….. All of these news sources are blue check marked on Facebook and Twitter. All proper link-backs, citations and proper block quoting used on each and every article.

{frontpagemag.com} ~ The Freedom Center’s comprehensive and innovative online encyclopedia of the Left, DiscoverTheNetworks.org... has just completed an extensive revision and update. The new DTN is faster and easier to use, its contents more accessible and more pertinent to breaking news, its networks easier to visualize, and its look more appealing. DTN now has a constantly updated “In The News” feature that uses its encyclopedic contents to add background context to the day’s latest stories. The new and more powerful search engine is front and center, as are a series of five select profiles on timely and trending topics and individuals. A search on a particular topic will bring up not only the entry on that subject but also a linked list of the “known connections” among other leftist organizations and individuals. For instance, a search for the anti-Israel terror group Hamas shows a total of 209 connected profiles including Jimmy Carter, Noam Chomsky, the Islamic Society of North America, and the Muslim Students Association. For over a decade, DTN has been far and away the best resource for information about the left and how its organizations, individuals and causes collaborate in an assault on American institutions. The producers of Sean Hannity, Lauran Ingraham and other radio and TV shows have referenced it regularly, as have a variety of authors and journalists, legislators and policy makers, students and ordinary citizens anxious to understand the nature of the left and how its juggernaut operates in the political, cultural and social arenas. DTN is a one stop destination for people who want to discover the truth about the individuals, organizations, and topics that comprise and fuel the left; subjects such as the origins of Black Lives Matter, the background and beliefs of old leftists like Saul Alinsky and new ones like commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the sinister operations of scumbag-George Soros’ “charities” and the unholy alliance between campus leftists and backers of Islamic terror groups. It is the one place a reader or researcher can go to see the links between the people, issues, and groups of the left and understand how these networks combine to make the left a vast conspiracy...

Too Many Liberals…Not Enough Squirrels

By Craig Andresen – Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

squir.jpg?width=246Last Tuesday, at Orlando International Airport, is where an unidentified passenger tried to take something onto a plane, and the airline told the woman…no way.

The woman was about to fly from Orlando to Cleveland on a Frontier Airlines flight and in a small tote, she had something that the airline told her she could NOT keep on board.

To be fair, the woman, when she paid for her ticket online, did add that she would be traveling with…a support animal. People travel with support animals all the time. Some people have emotional support dogs…others have, perhaps, an emotional support cat.

Whatever the case…most airlines allow most support animals to fly with their emotionally needy people, but…when this woman got on board, and the Frontier Airline flight attendant saw her emotional support animal…she was told that she could not…no way, no how…remain on the plane with an emotional support…

The Second Most Important Election

{americanthinker.com} ~ With the 2018 midterm elections only weeks away, many think this is the most important election of recent times... Much is riding on the Republicans maintaining control of Congress. If the dummycrats-Democrats win the House, all current investigations into the Deep State will cease, replaced by every single Congressional committee opening an investigation into Trump and his administration. Subpoenas for documents and endless testimony will paralyze the Trump administration. The media will fan the flames, breathlessly reporting every leak and fabrication from House committees. Then there will be an effort at impeaching President Trump, depending on the extent of the new House majority. The Senate is unlikely to flip, but if it does, impeachment could potentially result in Trump’s removal from office. I say potentially because that would start a civil war, but don’t put it past the scumbag-Bookers and scumbag-Blumenthals of the Senate to give it a try. Judicial appointments would cease, with a dummycrats-Democrat Senate only confirming judges politically to the left of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Yet this is still only the second most important election of recent times. The most important one was two years ago, by far. If that one didn’t play out as it did, everything mentioned above would be moot. Imagine liar-Hillary Clinton winning in 2016, by the landslide that her media fanboys and fangirls all predicted. Like in the Christmas movie, It’s a Wonderful Life, how would life in America be different if Donald Trump never existed, at least in terms of the 2016 presidential election? No one would have heard of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. He would be a Circuit Court judge, one of many that few Americans know the names of. Instead the Merrick Garland nomination would have gone to Loretta Lynch with the Kennedy replacement going to scumbag-Eric Holder or perhaps a far-left young senator like lowlife-Kamala Harris or scumbag-Cory Booker...

dinky-Warren Releases Study Showing She's Supremely

by BEN SHAPIRO
{dailywire.com} ~ On Monday, Senator Elizabeth dinky-Warren (D-MA) utterly humiliated herself by releasing a report from Professor Carlos Bustamante of Stanford University... stating that there was a possibility that dinky-Warren had a Native American ancestor anywhere from six to ten generations ago. According to The Boston Globe: He concluded that “the vast majority” of dinky-Warren’s ancestry is European, but he added that “the results strongly support the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor.” Bustamante calculated that dinky-Warren’s pure Native American ancestor appears in her family tree “in the range of 6-10 generations ago.”The report states that dinky-Warren could be just 1/1024th Native American. What’s more, the study was based not on Native American DNA, but on Mexican, Peruvian, and Colombian DNA. The media ran with the headline that dinky-Warren was indeed correct – that she did have Native American ancestry. Which is amazing, considering that even the most racist groups on Earth do not consider you to be a member of a minority group if you had a minority ancestor 300 years ago. Nonetheless, CNN headlined, “Elizabeth dinky-Warren releases DNA test with ‘strong evidence’ of Native American ancestry.” The Daily Beast’s headline was similarly friendly: “Elizabeth dinky-Warren Fights Trump’s ‘Pocahontas’ Taunt With DNA Test Proving Native-American Roots.” So the same media who say that two X chromosomes don't make you a woman now say that a Native American ancestor 10 generations ago makes you Native American. Got it. As a refresher, dinky-Warren didn't merely claim a long-ago Native American ancestor. Here’s what dinky-Warren claimed...

{americanthinker.com} ~ Pastor Andrew Brunson kissed the American flag when it was presented to him in Germany... I understand his emotions very well. In 1976, I went to Teheran, Iran to teach history in private school while the Shah Reza Pahlavi was still in power. It was a police state then even though it is a worse police state now. After I arrived, my passport was confiscated. In addition, there was runaway inflation and I had to begin borrowing thousands of dollars from the school in order to meet my basic expenses. My salary was $850 a month, and my rent was $800. Obviously, I could not live on $50 a month. I was hired to teach and invited to live there under false pretenses. No one had told me that my salary would not be sufficient to meet expenses or that my freedom of travel would be curtailed. There was no internet for me to investigate the economy before I signed my contract. In order to travel during vacation breaks, we had to apply to have our passport returned by the authorities. Colleagues who intended to go to Afghanistan during Christmas break were denied their passports. I had applied to visit Israel. Amazingly since Iran and Israel were not on very good terms even then, I was granted my passport and secured a visa to travel there. Meanwhile, like many Westerners living there, I began contracting health problems. I had amoebic dysentery and lost 60 pounds my first ten weeks. I developed boils on my scalp. All food had to be disinfected in bleach before eating, and then the bleach had to be washed off with bottled water to prevent reinfection of the food by the bacteria in the tap water. During traffic jams, cars drove on the sidewalks. Sometimes it took buses three hours to go one mile. No lines were respected in public places. The post offices were a free-for-all with 10-15 arms extended towards the clerk simultaneously with money to buy stamps. One had to ride in taxis with three to four strangers. Almost no women were on the streets even in the more Westernized part of the city where I lived.  Snack bars had on display bowls of yogurt and side dishes of cows' brains, a favorite snack for Iranians. I thought I had gone through the looking glass into a morbid zone. The largest supermarket in the area had a greeter in a tuxedo welcoming wealthy Iranians and non-Iranians to the store. Only problem was this:  90+% of all the shelves were empty.  The “department store” on the floors above the supermarket had various products on display.  But when I took a product to the cashier to purchase it, the cashier nodded politely and indicated that there was no money in the register. The school where I taught, though the leading private school in the city, had no textbooks. The campus, at the foot of the Elburz Mountains, would regularly be afflicted with dust storms such that you couldn't see five feet in front of you...

The Palestinian Battle against a Plan that Does Not Exist

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ No Palestinian -- or anyone else for that matter -- has been made privy to US President Donald J. Trump's long-awaited plan for peace in the Middle East... which has also been referred to as the "deal of the century." This minor detail however, has not prevented the Palestinians from rejecting the rumored plan, on the pretext that it is aimed at "liquidating" the Palestinian cause and national rights. Hardly a day passes without Palestinian leaders and officials across the political spectrum behaving as if they know every detail of the "deal of the century." The Palestinians are not even prepared to wait until the US administration actually presents a plan. The Palestinian rejection of a yet-to-be-announced peace plan should not surprise anyone. The Palestinians will never accept any plan from a US administration they consider extremely "hostile" to the Palestinians and "biased" in favor of Israel. Even before Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital in December 2017, the Palestinians had made up their minds: As Trump administration is on the side of Israel, and its policies seem mainly designed to appease and strengthen Israel, the Palestinians apparently decided that they should boycott the US administration. This boycott is unlikely to end in the foreseeable future, especially in light of continued Palestinian denunciations of the US administration and its policies towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict...
Trump Gives Illegal Migrant Families a Choice: Stay 
Together or Not BREAKING NEWS
by Shawn

{fixthisnation.com} ~ Left-wing immigration activists are up in arms again after the Trump administration released a new draft border plan... that will potentially make family separation a hot-button issue once more. The activists, for whom there is only one acceptable answer – let illegal immigrants flow into the United States without the slightest impediment – are outraged about the new plan, which would hold families together in border detention for 20 days while offering the parents a simple choice. Referred to as a binary option, the parents will have two choices: Keep their children with them in detention for the duration of the court process which could take months or even longer or allow the federal government to put their children into separate shelters where they may be re-housed with guardians living in the United States. Either way, the parents will remain in federal custody until their hearings have been completed. The Trump administration is determined to move beyond the failed “catch and release” policies of previous presidents, which has contributed to the continuing surge of illegal immigrants coming across the border. Instead, they have adopted a “zero tolerance” policy that sharply reduces the risk of illegal immigrants missing their court dates and simply disappearing into the U.S. for decades. Unfortunately, they have found it difficult to navigate federal law, which prohibits the government from keeping children and their parents together in detention for more than 20 days. If, however, parents are given the binary option outlined above, it may be possible for the administration to keep families together without letting the adults go free...

by Publius:  On Oct. 13, 1775, the U.S. Navy was born when the Continental Congress authorized the arming of two sailing vessels with 80 men and 10 carriage guns in order to intercept British supply and munitions transports. The Declaration of Independence came nine months later, followed by the creation of the Department of the Navy in 1798.

The Second Most Important Election
by Brian Joondeph
{americanthinker.com} ~ With the 2018 midterm elections only weeks away, many think this is the most important election of recent times... Much is riding on the Republicans maintaining control of Congress. If the dummycrats-Democrats win the House, all current investigations into the Deep State will cease, replaced by every single Congressional committee opening an investigation into Trump and his administration. Subpoenas for documents and endless testimony will paralyze the Trump administration. The media will fan the flames, breathlessly reporting every leak and fabrication from House committees. Then there will be an effort at impeaching President Trump, depending on the extent of the new House majority. The Senate is unlikely to flip, but if it does, impeachment could potentially result in Trump’s removal from office. I say potentially because that would start a civil war, but don’t put it past the scumbag-Bookers and scumbag-Blumenthals of the Senate to give it a try. Judicial appointments would cease, with a dummycrats-Democrat Senate only confirming judges politically to the left of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Yet this is still only the second most important election of recent times. The most important one was two years ago, by far. If that one didn’t play out as it did, everything mentioned above would be moot. Imagine liar-Hillary Clinton winning in 2016, by the landslide that her media fanboys and fangirls all predicted. Like in the Christmas movie, It’s a Wonderful Life, how would life in America be different if Donald Trump never existed, at least in terms of the 2016 presidential election? No one would have heard of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. He would be a Circuit Court judge, one of many that few Americans know the names of. Instead the Merrick Garland nomination would have gone to Loretta Lynch with the Kennedy replacement going to scumbag-Eric Holder or perhaps a far-left young senator like lowlife-Kamala Harris or scumbag-Cory Booker...

dinky-Warren Releases Study Showing She's Supremely 
White - Media Then Pretend She's Native American
by BEN SHAPIRO
{dailywire.com} ~ On Monday, Senator Elizabeth dinky-Warren (D-MA) utterly humiliated herself by releasing a report from Professor Carlos Bustamante of Stanford University... stating that there was a possibility that dinky-Warren had a Native American ancestor anywhere from six to ten generations ago. According to The Boston Globe: He concluded that “the vast majority” of dinky-Warren’s ancestry is European, but he added that “the results strongly support the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor.” Bustamante calculated that dinky-Warren’s pure Native American ancestor appears in her family tree “in the range of 6-10 generations ago.”The report states that dinky-Warren could be just 1/1024th Native American. What’s more, the study was based not on Native American DNA, but on Mexican, Peruvian, and Colombian DNA. The media ran with the headline that dinky-Warren was indeed correct – that she did have Native American ancestry. Which is amazing, considering that even the most racist groups on Earth do not consider you to be a member of a minority group if you had a minority ancestor 300 years ago. Nonetheless, CNN headlined, “Elizabeth dinky-Warren releases DNA test with ‘strong evidence’ of Native American ancestry.” The Daily Beast’s headline was similarly friendly: “Elizabeth dinky-Warren Fights Trump’s ‘Pocahontas’ Taunt With DNA Test Proving Native-American Roots.” So the same media who say that two X chromosomes don't make you a woman now say that a Native American ancestor 10 generations ago makes you Native American. Got it. As a refresher, dinky-Warren didn't merely claim a long-ago Native American ancestor. Here’s what dinky-Warren claimed...

Kissing Our Flag: A Symbol of Freedom and Hope
by E. Jeffrey Ludwig
{americanthinker.com} ~ Pastor Andrew Brunson kissed the American flag when it was presented to him in Germany... I understand his emotions very well. In 1976, I went to Teheran, Iran to teach history in private school while the Shah Reza Pahlavi was still in power. It was a police state then even though it is a worse police state now.

Which is amazing, considering that even the most racist groups on Earth do not consider you to be a member of a minority group if you had a minority ancestor 300 years ago. Nonetheless, CNN headlined, “Elizabeth dinky-Warren releases DNA test with ‘strong evidence’ of Native American ancestry.” The Daily Beast’s headline was similarly friendly: “Elizabeth dinky-Warren Fights Trump’s ‘Pocahontas’ Taunt With DNA Test Proving Native-American Roots.” So the same media who say that two X chromosomes don't make you a woman now say that a Native American ancestor 10 generations ago makes you Native American. Got it. As a refresher, dinky-Warren didn't merely claim a long-ago Native American ancestor. Here’s what dinky-Warren claimed...

Kissing Our Flag: A Symbol of Freedom and Hope
by E. Jeffrey Ludwig
{americanthinker.com} ~ Pastor Andrew Brunson kissed the American flag when it was presented to him in Germany... I understand his emotions very well. In 1976, I went to Teheran, Iran to teach history in private school while the Shah Reza Pahlavi was still in power. It was a police state then even though it is a worse police state now. After I arrived, my passport was confiscated. In addition, there was runaway inflation and I had to begin borrowing thousands of dollars from the school in order to meet my basic expenses. My salary was $850 a month, and my rent was $800. Obviously, I could not live on $50 a month. I was hired to teach and invited to live there under false pretenses. No one had told me that my salary would not be sufficient to meet expenses or that my freedom of travel would be curtailed. There was no internet for me to investigate the economy before I signed my contract. In order to travel during vacation breaks, we had to apply to have our passport returned by the authorities. Colleagues who intended to go to Afghanistan during Christmas break were denied their passports. I had applied to visit Israel. Amazingly since Iran and Israel were not on very good terms even then, I was granted my passport and secured a visa to travel there. Meanwhile, like many Westerners living there, I began contracting health problems. I had amoebic dysentery and lost 60 pounds my first ten weeks. I developed boils on my scalp. All food had to be disinfected in bleach before eating, and then the bleach had to be washed off with bottled water to prevent reinfection of the food by the bacteria in the tap water. During traffic jams, cars drove on the sidewalks. Sometimes it took buses three hours to go one mile. No lines were respected in public places. The post offices were a free-for-all with 10-15 arms extended towards the clerk simultaneously with money to buy stamps. One had to ride in taxis with three to four strangers. Almost no women were on the streets even in the more Westernized part of the city where I lived.  Snack bars had on display bowls of yogurt and side dishes of cows' brains, a favorite snack for Iranians. I thought I had gone through the looking glass into a morbid zone. The largest supermarket in the area had a greeter in a tuxedo welcoming wealthy Iranians and non-Iranians to the store. Only problem was this:  90+% of all the shelves were empty.  The “department store” on the floors above the supermarket had various products on display.  But when I took a product to the cashier to purchase it, the cashier nodded politely and indicated that there was no money in the register. The school where I taught, though the leading private school in the city, had no textbooks. The campus, at the foot of the Elburz Mountains, would regularly be afflicted with dust storms such that you couldn't see five feet in front of you...

The Palestinian Battle against a Plan that Does Not Exist
by Khaled Abu Toameh
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ No Palestinian -- or anyone else for that matter -- has been made privy to US President Donald J. Trump's long-awaited plan for peace in the Middle East... which has also been referred to as the "deal of the century." This minor detail however, has not prevented the Palestinians from rejecting the rumored plan, on the pretext that it is aimed at "liquidating" the Palestinian cause and national rights. Hardly a day passes without Palestinian leaders and officials across the political spectrum behaving as if they know every detail of the "deal of the century." The Palestinians are not even prepared to wait until the US administration actually presents a plan. The Palestinian rejection of a yet-to-be-announced peace plan should not surprise anyone. The Palestinians will never accept any plan from a US administration they consider extremely "hostile" to the Palestinians and "biased" in favor of Israel. Even before Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital in December 2017, the Palestinians had made up their minds: As Trump administration is on the side of Israel, and its policies seem mainly designed to appease and strengthen Israel, the Palestinians apparently decided that they should boycott the US administration. This boycott is unlikely to end in the foreseeable future, especially in light of continued Palestinian denunciations of the US administration and its policies towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict...
Trump Gives Illegal Migrant Families a Choice: Stay 
Together or Not BREAKING NEWS
by Shawn

{fixthisnation.com} ~ Left-wing immigration activists are up in arms again after the Trump administration released a new draft border plan... that will potentially make family separation a hot-button issue once more. The activists, for whom there is only one acceptable answer – let illegal immigrants flow into the United States without the slightest impediment – are outraged about the new plan, which would hold families together in border detention for 20 days while offering the parents a simple choice. Referred to as a binary option, the parents will have two choices: Keep their children with them in detention for the duration of the court process which could take months or even longer or allow the federal government to put their children into separate shelters where they may be re-housed with guardians living in the United States. Either way, the parents will remain in federal custody until their hearings have been completed. The Trump administration is determined to move beyond the failed “catch and release” policies of previous presidents, which has contributed to the continuing surge of illegal immigrants coming across the border. Instead, they have adopted a “zero tolerance” policy that sharply reduces the risk of illegal immigrants missing their court dates and simply disappearing into the U.S. for decades. Unfortunately, they have found it difficult to navigate federal law, which prohibits the government from keeping children and their parents together in detention for more than 20 days. If, however, parents are given the binary option outlined above, it may be possible for the administration to keep families together without letting the adults go free...

The Second Most Important Election
by Brian Joondeph
{americanthinker.com} ~ With the 2018 midterm elections only weeks away, many think this is the most important election of recent times... Much is riding on the Republicans maintaining control of Congress. If the dummycrats-Democrats win the House, all current investigations into the Deep State will cease, replaced by every single Congressional committee opening an investigation into Trump and his administration. Subpoenas for documents and endless testimony will paralyze the Trump administration. The media will fan the flames, breathlessly reporting every leak and fabrication from House committees. Then there will be an effort at impeaching President Trump, depending on the extent of the new House majority. The Senate is unlikely to flip, but if it does, impeachment could potentially result in Trump’s removal from office. I say potentially because that would start a civil war, but don’t put it past the scumbag-Bookers and scumbag-Blumenthals of the Senate to give it a try. Judicial appointments would cease, with a dummycrats-Democrat Senate only confirming judges politically to the left of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Yet this is still only the second most important election of recent times. The most important one was two years ago, by far. If that one didn’t play out as it did, everything mentioned above would be moot. Imagine liar-Hillary Clinton winning in 2016, by the landslide that her media fanboys and fangirls all predicted. Like in the Christmas movie, It’s a Wonderful Life, how would life in America be different if Donald Trump never existed, at least in terms of the 2016 presidential election? No one would have heard of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. He would be a Circuit Court judge, one of many that few Americans know the names of. Instead the Merrick Garland nomination would have gone to Loretta Lynch with the Kennedy replacement going to scumbag-Eric Holder or perhaps a far-left young senator like lowlife-Kamala Harris or scumbag-Cory Booker...

dinky-Warren Releases Study Showing She's Supremely 
White - Media Then Pretend She's Native American
by BEN SHAPIRO
{dailywire.com} ~ On Monday, Senator Elizabeth dinky-Warren (D-MA) utterly humiliated herself by releasing a report from Professor Carlos Bustamante of Stanford University... stating that there was a possibility that dinky-Warren had a Native American ancestor anywhere from six to ten generations ago. According to The Boston Globe: He concluded that “the vast majority” of dinky-Warren’s ancestry is European, but he added that “the results strongly support the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor.” Bustamante calculated that dinky-Warren’s pure Native American ancestor appears in her family tree “in the range of 6-10 generations ago.”The report states that dinky-Warren could be just 1/1024th Native American. What’s more, the study was based not on Native American DNA, but on Mexican, Peruvian, and Colombian DNA. The media ran with the headline that dinky-Warren was indeed correct – that she did have Native American ancestry. Which is amazing, considering that even the most racist groups on Earth do not consider you to be a member of a minority group if you had a minority ancestor 300 years ago.

{cnsnews.com} ~ Rep. Al Green (D.-Texas) took to the floor of the House of Representatives on Sept. 6 to vow that President Donald Trump would be impeached... or there would be at least an effort to impeach him. “There is a solution to an unfit president,” Green said in his speech. “There is a solution. Everybody knows it. And we are going to get there,” Green said. “But I will say this to you. We cannot allow political expediency to stand in the way of the moral imperative to remove a president who is doing things that are detrimental to the country.” “I have filed Articles of Impeachment to do so,” Green said.“There will be an impeachment of this president, or at least an attempt to get him out of office by way of impeachment,” Green said. “I stand on it.” Green first started talking about impeaching Trump early in Trump’s presidency in 2017... Green is a stupid idiot as well as scumbag/mad-Waters.

{dailycaller.com} ~ A Republican member of the House Judiciary Committee said Sunday that Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson is “in real legal jeopardy”... over inconsistent testimony that he gave to Congress regarding his work on the infamous Steele dossier. “I’m not surprised that Glenn Simpson is taking the Fifth,” Texas Rep. John Ratcliffe said in a Fox News interview on Sunday. “He probably should. He’s in real legal jeopardy. Very clearly someone is not telling the truth,” he added. Simpson, who investigated the Trump campaign on behalf of the dummycrats-DNC and liar-Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, informed Congress on Thursday that he will plead the Fifth to avoid speaking with members of the House Judiciary and House Oversight & Government Committee in an interview set for Tuesday. “The reason for that … is that Glenn Simpson had previously testified under oath to the House Intelligence Committee that he never met with Bruce Ohr or discussed with Bruce Ohr the Steele dossier prior to the October FISA application in 2016 or the 2016 presidential election,” said Ratcliffe, a member of the House Judiciary panel...

{israelnationalnews.com} ~ An Arab terrorist attempted to carry out a stabbing attack near Highway 5 in Samaria Monday afternoon... but was eliminated by Israeli security forces before he could reach his target. According to eyewitnesses, the incident occurred near Gitti Avisar junction on Highway 5 outside the Israeli town of Barkan when the terrorist lunged at IDF soldiers while brandishing a knife. Soldiers at the scene opened fire on the terrorist, seriously wounding him. The terrorist later succumbed to his wounds. There no injuries reported among the IDF soldiers at the scene. Samaria Regional Council chief Yossi Dagan arrived at the scene of the attempted attack shortly after the terrorist was neutralized. “I spoke with the officers in the field and I was given a situation briefing from both the officers on location and from the Samaria Regional Council security division,” said Dagan. “The vigilance of our soldiers and their dedication prevented a terror attack and saved lives.”...  https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/253254

{dailycaller.com} ~ The mayor of Portland defended the city’s response, or lack thereof, to members of Antifa who blocked traffic and harassed bystanders... after a video of the incident went viral. “I was appalled by what I saw in that clip and I support the decisions of the Portland Police. I trust them,” Mayor Ted Wheeler tweeted Friday. “I believe them as the law enforcement professionals who have to weigh complex legal and safety issues, not only for the people on the streets but also for themselves.”The video was captured by journalist Andy C. Ngo and shows an older gentleman in a Lexus turning at an intersection occupied by a host of Antifa protesters. After making the turn against the orders of the protesters, a mob chases the Lexus down the street banging on the car, even going so far as to break a window. Officers reportedly watched the incident unfold from a block away. The hysteria arose after more than 100 protesters took to the Portland streets to rally against the death of Patrick Kimmons, who was fatally shot by police after a gunfight which left two men wounded, according to Fox News. The Washington Times reported that Wheeler still believes that “motorists should feel completely safe coming into downtown Portland.” Antifa broke the law and should of been arrested.  https://dailycaller.com/2018/10/14/portlands-mayor-defends-antifa/?utm_medium=email

Taliban confirms meeting with US delegation in Doha
by THOMAS JOSCELYN

{longwarjournal.org} ~ In a statement released today, the Taliban confirms that its representatives met with a team of American negotiators in Doha on Oct 12... The Americans’ stated goal for the nascent talks is to have the Taliban reach a political settlement with the Afghan government. However, the Taliban recently rejected Afghanistan’s elections, calling for attacks to disrupt them. And the Taliban has consistently rejected President Ashraf Ghani’s government as illegitimate. The group does not mention the current Afghan government in its message today. Nor does it say that Ghani had any representatives at the talks. Instead, the jihadists again refer to themselves as representatives of the Taliban’s “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan” — the regime they seek to resurrect across Afghanistan. The Taliban lists members of its “negotiation team” from “the Political Office of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan” as “the respected” Al Haj Sher Muhammad Abbas Stanikzai the “head” of the office, Mawlawi Abdul Salam Hanafi the “deputy” of the political office and other members, including Shahabuddin Delawar, Qari Deen Muhammad Hanif, Al Haj Muhammad Zahid Ahmadzai and Muhammad Sohail Shaheen. These men met with a US delegation led by Dr. Zalmay Khalilzad, who was recently appointed as the US special representative for Afghanistan reconciliation. According to the State Department, Khalilzad is visiting Afghanistan, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia as part of an effort “to bring the Taliban to the negotiating table.”...

Arizona: The Patriot vs. the Pretender

by Nate Jackson:  If dummycrats-Democrats want to capture the Senate in November, winning the seat of retiring GOP Sen. Jeff Flake is paramount. But that race took a wild turn in recent days as past comments from dummycrats-Democrat Rep. Kyrsten Sinema have surfaced. Sinema has held a slight lead in most polls, but her mouth might cost her the race against Rep. Martha McSally, a retired Air Force combat pilot.

             The Washington Examiner reports on emails of hers from 2002, when she was a community organizer for the Arizona Alliance for Peaceful Justice. “When AAPJ attended May Day (sponsored by the Phoenix Anarchist Coalition), we knew that their guidelines differ from ours,” Sinema said in an email to a fellow protester. “They are okay with weapons and property destruction in some instances, and so those of us who chose to attend the event knew that it would be inappropriate to ask someone to not destroy property or to carry a weapon.” To Sinema, destroying private property is fine … for a cause.
               In 2003, Sinema opined on whether people could join the Taliban to fight against American Armed Forces Patriots, “Fine. I don’t care if you want to do that, go ahead.” She co-founded a group in the early 2000s to resist “U.S. terror in Iraq and the Middle East,” and the group depicted U.S. soldiers as skeletons with machine guns.
               So while McSally was fighting for her country, flying combat missions in the Gulf War, Sinema was giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
               Sinema also evidently thinks Arizonans are “deplorables,” to borrow a word. She has declared Arizona to be the “meth lab of democracy,” and said, “Over the past several years, people would watch what’s going on in Arizona and be like, ‘Damn, those people are crazy,’” On another occasion, she told leftist activists in Texas, “I want to talk to you about some of the things that I think that you can do to stop your state from becoming Arizona.” It’s probably not a good idea to habitually make your state the butt of your jokes when you’re running to represent your state in the Senate.

{dailycaller.com} ~ Republican lawmakers have hinted for months that the FBI failed to provide federal judges on the surveillance court with information... that undercut the government’s premise for opening the Trump-Russia probe in 2016. Republicans have suggested in interviews that the information related to George Papadopoulos, the former Trump campaign adviser whose conversation with an Australian diplomat prompted the FBI to open its investigation into the Trump campaign. Texas Rep. John Ratcliffe provided Sunday the clearest picture to date of what the FBI allegedly withheld from the surveillance court. Ratcliffe suggested that the FBI failed to include evidence regarding former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, in an interview with Fox News...

Facebook accused of stealing $315,000 from triple-amputee vet

{wnd.com} ~ Could it be it’s not the Russians tampering with U.S. elections, but Facebook and Google?... Maybe the whole Russian thing is just a façade – a cover for a political coup by the two monoliths of social media and search? Those are the questions being asked around the nation today as Facebook may have reached a bridge too far in what many in independent media circles assert is blacklisting, censorship, the creation of enemies’ lists. But the biggest mistake Facebook may have made over the weekend was in going after a warrior – one who nearly lost his life in combat and did lose both legs and his right hand. That would be Brian Kolfage who is a U.S. Air Force vet, severely wounded in Iraq. “I’m the most severely wounded U.S. airman to survive,” says Kolfage. Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg is being accused of stealing $315,000 from the vet. “I took over managing the page when John Hawkins decided to step aside to pursue other endeavors,” wrote Kolfage. “We had a coveted, verified blue check mark 3.5 million fans, and I invested over $300,000 in ads at Facebook’s own request, nearly begging us to spend, spend, spend just to reach our fans … whom they kept making more difficult to reach with every passing year. Facebook lied, they shut down my page because it was conservative, powerful, and the elections are in two weeks.”...

Rising interest rates could add to budget woes

{aei.org} ~ As the federal government closed its books on fiscal year 2018 at the end of September, interest rates were rising to levels not seen in a decade... signaling the possibility of further deterioration in the budget outlook for 2019 and beyond.  The past year has been very positive for the U.S. economy but a step in the wrong direction for fiscal policy. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reports that the deficit for fiscal year 2018 was $782 billion, or 3.8 percent of GDP, up from $666 billion, or 3.5 percent of GDP, in 2017. In 2015, the deficit was 2.4 percent of GDP. From 1968 to 2017, the federal government ran an average deficit of 3.0 percent of GDP. The deficit would have been $862 billion in 2018 if not for the movement of some expenditures out of 2018 and into 2017 the shifts occur when certain monthly payments get moved forward because the fiscal year ends on a weekend. After controlling for the timing shifts, federal spending increased 4.4 percent in 2018. The gap between revenue and spending widened in 2018 mainly because federal tax receipts were essentially flat, growing by just $13 billion, or 0.4 percent. With the economy growing strongly, federal revenue should have increased by a much larger amount, and would have had it not been for the tax cuts enacted in December 2017. In particular, the new tax law reduced the tax rate for corporations and allowed an immediate deduction for equipment purchases. As a result, corporate tax receipts fell by 31 percent in 2018. Trump administration officials have argued that the tax cut will pay for itself with a growth-induced surge in tax receipts, but the evidence so far suggests otherwise...
Turkey's Revolution Looks like Iran's - but in Slow Motion

{meforum.org} ~ Watching Turkey's transformation into an authoritarian Islamist nation over the last 16 years has been eerily like watching Iran's rapid fall in 1979 -- but in slow motion... Whereas Iran went from a secularist American ally to an implacable Islamist foe in a matter of months, Turkey has been on a similar path but led by a more cautious Islamist, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has moved at a much slower rate. The Pahlavi Shah of Iran exiled Ruhollah Khomeini to Turkey, coincidentally in 1964. When he returned to Iran on February 1, 1979, Khomeini seized absolute power almost immediately. With the Shah out of the country seeking treatment for his cancer, there was little to stop Khomeini and his clerical allies. He quickly created  the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) which would soon surpass the Shah's SAVAK secret police in putting down internal enemies. The SAVAK's infamous Evin prison, which once held as many as 5,000 of the Shah's political enemies, soon held over 15,000 of Khomeini's. Within weeks, Khomeini presided over a reign of terror that Robespierre himself might admire. Turkey's fall into Islamism, on the other hand, has been much slower, guided deliberately and incrementally by Recep Tayyip Erdogan through a series of elections. Perhaps he learned to go slowly from his misstep in 1998 when, as Mayor of Istanbul, he rallied his supporters by pronouncing, "the mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers." As a result, Erdogan was convicted of inciting hatred, given a 10-month jail sentence and banned from holding public office...

Winning in the Courts for Generations to Come

by Robin Smith:  Eighty-four judges have been confirmed by the U.S. Senate after nomination by President Donald Trump in his tenure of less than two years. Two successful appointments to the Supreme Court have been the center of public attention, yet these other federal appointments will serve to protect the Constitution’s role in the American justice system. These originalist judges will stem the tide of legislating from the bench as practiced by leftists when their radical candidates or policies are unsuccessful at the ballot box.

             In the United States, there are 94 federal judicial districts that span the nation and its territories — districts that were created by the first Congress, not by the Constitution, which established the Supreme Court of the United States in Article III. In addition to these federal districts, circuit or appellate courts exist for the purpose of appeals within the 12 regional circuits and one U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit with national jurisdiction.
               As one would imagine, the number of judgeships to serve in these courts is quite large. Including all the various jurisdictions and levels, there are over 800 positions within the federal judiciary that receive appointments. President Trump walked into his role as the 45th president with 88 district and 17 court of appeals vacancies. To date, Trump has appointed two Supreme Court justices, 29 Circuit Court judges and 53 District Court judges, even as more openings occur with normal churn. In less than two years, Trump has made about a fourth of the number of federal appointments as his immediate predecessor, Barack scumbag/liar-nObama, throughout his eight-year tenure.
               Just like so many other of Trump’s promises made on the campaign trail, he is keeping his word to appoint originalists. So?
               Americans have been overwhelmed with the wall-to-wall coverage of the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation process-turned-clown show. Unquestionably, the Supreme Court is powerful and does serve as the final point of remedy and decision for landmark rulings that are culturally critical, like abortion and same-sex marriage. But there are about 7,000 petitions set to appear before America’s High Court annually, and the number to receive hearings ranges from 100 to 150. Obviously, the decisions of the lower federal courts are, by the clear math, most likely to stand. That gives inherent value to the approach to the bench by this mass of judges. Either they employ judicial activism or judicial restraint while viewing the Constitution as either “living” as dummycrats-Democrats demand or as constructed to be interpreted.
               President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have had their frustrations in dealing with Senate rules and procedures, namely the filibuster, to pass key legislation. dummycrats-Democrats, however, paved the way for federal judicial appointments by changing the rules in 2013 to confirmation by a simple majority for all but Supreme Court nominations, under the wrong assumption that they would hold the Senate majority throughout the remainder of Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s tenure. They were also eyeing the possible retirements of Supreme Court justices, namely Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the elder of the court at 85 years of age. But the dummycrats-Democrat move backfired when they attempted to filibuster Neil Gorsuch and McConnell finished the job by eliminating the filibuster for judicial nominations entirely.
               The unlikely team of Trump and McConnell, neither pillars of the conservative movement, are working in tandem to leave an indelible mark on the federal court system by appointing younger originalists who will aid in returning the judiciary to its role of justice, not legislation.
               The very evening that Justice Kavanaugh and his family participated in the ceremonial swearing-in administered by retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy in primetime following a presidential apology for the personal attacks and ambush-style tactics of Senate dummycrats-Democrats, Trump announced another wave of judicial nominees that included two for the Second Circuit (which includes New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire) and three for the Ninth Circuit without the customary input from the region’s sitting senators, namely Dianne Fein-stein (D-CA), ranking member of the Senate Judiciary.
               The supposed Blue Wave of political upheaval that was predicted to return the Senate to a dummycrats-Democrat majority appeared to evaporate after the storm of misbehavior confirming Kavanaugh. If Trump maintains this pace of confirmations, coupled with his reelection, he will leave, as part of his presidential legacy, a correction to the courts.

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ If President Trump pushes for a partial shutdown of the government after the midterm elections to get money for his border wall... dummycrats-Democrats are confident they’ll come out on top. Republican leaders in both chambers have signaled they’re willing to fight dummycrats-Democrats for the money. House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said they want $5 billion for the structure, more than the $1.6 billion agreed to in the Senate. But dummycrats-Democrats will only entertain the proposal if Trump is willing to negotiate and include relief for recipients of the scumbag/liar-nObama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that Trump scrapped. “There were three deals, and the White House has walked away from all of them,” said Senate Minority Whip scumbag-Dick Durbin, D-Ill. “I have no confidence that the administration can reach an agreement.” But if Republicans stand by their demand for the money, and dummycrats-Democrats refuse to go along, the GOP-controlled Congress could force a partial shutdown of the Homeland Security Department. “Right after the election, we’re doing something very strong on the wall,” Trump said on "Fox and Friends" this week...

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ A top state-linked Saudi media figure has warned that imposing US sanctions on Riyadh in response to the Khashoggi crisis could lead to Russia opening a military base in the kingdom... The general manager of a Saudi-state-owned media company published an op-ed Sunday suggesting that if the U.S. imposes sanctions in response to the disappearance of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, the situation will get so dire that Saudi Arabia would allow Russia to install a military base in the nation. President Trump said Thursday that he is not considering halting the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia in light of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi's disappearance and feared death. The president has ordered an investigation into the matter and there are no sanctions in place at the moment in response.The Saudi government has denied involvement in Khashoggi's disappearance after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, despite reports from the Turkish government that the crown prince of Saudi Arabia ordered a hit on the journalist. The Saudi government rejected any threats of retaliation from the U.S. on Sunday, claiming it would respond with "greater action" if the U.S. decides to make a move. The journalist was last seen the afternoon of Oct. 2 entering the Saudi mission. Turkish officials believe Khashoggi was murdered inside the embassy, where he was to fill out paperwork for his wedding, and have told U.S. officials they have audio and video evidence to prove it...

{foxnews.com} ~ dummycrats-Democratic Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren took the rare step Monday of releasing DNA test results examining her possible Native American ancestry... in apparent response to persistent criticism from President Trump and other Republicans. The results, as shared with The Boston Globe, reportedly reveal “strong evidence” the Massachusetts senator had a Native American ancestor dating back six to 10 generations. At the same time, the report could embolden critics by showing only trace amounts of that heritage -- which Republicans have charged she used to advance her career at Harvard. According to the analysis, if dinky-Warren’s great-great-great-grandmother was Native American, she would be considered 1/32nd Native American. Should dinky-Warren’s ancestor date back 10 generations, she would be only 1/512th Native American. "Having as little as 1/512th Native American ties does not give you the right to claim minority status," Republican National Committee Deputy Communications Director Mike Reed said in a statement...  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/warren-releases-dna-analysis-on-native-american-heritage-firing-back-at-trump-attacks

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ More than 100 recreational marijuana stores are opening across Canada this week, introducing new opportunities for international business and tourism... and creating potential conflict with U.S. authorities as money and people flow across the border. Canada will be the second Western country to regulate recreational sales, after tiny Uruguay in South America, which sells pot only to its own citizens at pharmacies. Trump administration officials long anticipated the fulfillment of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s 2015 campaign pledge, but the precise U.S. response remains unclear when stores open Wednesday.“We need reform in federal law worse than we’ve ever needed it,” said Washington state defense attorney Douglas Hiatt, a marijuana reform advocate. “There is no reform movement anymore. President Trump has sucked all the oxygen out of the room.” Hiatt and other marijuana policy experts see major questions of U.S. policy toward Canada, involving criminal law, access to banking, and border crossings.

by Judith Miller

{city-journal.org} ~ Late last week, the Washington Post ran blank space where a column by dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who wrote for its Global Opinions section, should have appeared. The wordless column was a powerful expression of concern about Khashoggi’s fate. A leading critic of the Saudi kingdom’s leadership, Khashoggi had not been seen since entering the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, last Tuesday to secure documentation for his forthcoming marriage. According to his fiancée, who accompanied him and waited outside, he entered the building at 1:30 pm and failed to emerge when the office closed at 5 pm. By the time the Post published the blank column, there was still hope that he was being held inside the consulate and would be released.

That hope diminished over the weekend, when several news outlets reported the possibility that Khashoggi had been killed and dismembered at the consulate so that his body could be smuggled out of the building without detection. The media also reported that a 15-member Saudi hit team had arrived in Turkey and entered the consulate shortly before Khashoggi’s arrival.

Saudi Arabia has denied involvement. Claiming that Khashoggi left the embassy, Saudi officials expressed concern about his mysterious disappearance. “We hear the rumors about what happened,” Saudi Crown Prince and de facto ruler Mohammed Bin Salman, known in the West as MBS, told Bloomberg News in an extensive interview. “He’s a Saudi citizen and we are very keen to know what happened to him. And we will continue our dialogue with the Turkish government to see what happened to Jamal there.”

There is, unfortunately, no Arabic word for chutzpah, since such an egregious act would undoubtedly have required the brash 33-year-old prince’s authorization or acquiescence.

Having known and debated Jamal for many years, I continue to hope, against logic, that he remains alive. But if Khashoggi has joined the long list of Saudi critics whom the notoriously thin-skinned crown prince has punished, the time has come to decry his increasingly brutal, reckless behavior.

Khashoggi’s last column for the Post, in which he attacked MBS’s signature foreign policy initiative—the disastrous war in Yemen—may have been the proverbial straw for the crown prince. As a newly minted 29-year-old defense minister in 2015, MBS relentlessly promoted Riyadh’s intervention in the Yemeni civil war against the Iranian-backed Zaydi Shiite Houthis. Khashoggi condemned that war, arguing that the kingdom was becoming morally indistinguishable from Syrian president Bashar Assad and the Iranians in helping continue the civil wars in Syria and Yemen.

A decision to kill such a prominent dissident would add to MBS’s growing list of unforced errors—including leading the effort to boycott Qatar, the arrest of Saudi women who led the campaign to let women drive a long-overdue reform for which MBS claimed credit, and the temporary kidnapping of Lebanese Prime Minister Sa’ad al-Hariri, whom MBS saw as too close to Iran and its Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah, now Lebanon’s leading political force.

Bruce Riedel, a former C.I.A. analyst who advised four presidents and is now at the Brookings Institution, called Khashoggi’s disappearance consistent with the pattern of “crude intimidation” and the growing silencing of dissent in Saudi Arabia. The kingdom has a long history of abducting critics from abroad, and MBS has doubled down on such intimidation. Last year, his police conducted raids and supervised the mass detention and torture of wealthy Saudis in the Ritz-Carlton in Riyadh. Given America’s silence about the extortion of detainees’ funds to secure their release, MBS must be confident that the Trump administration “will do nothing about human rights violations in Saudi Arabia,” Riedel wrote, adding, “He is probably right.” So far, other than expressing “concern” about Khashoggi’s fate, the Trump administration has said little. “There are some pretty bad stories going around,” the president said Monday. “I do not like it.” That’s not good enough.

On his first foreign trip, President Trump went to Riyadh, in an effort to improve relations with the kingdom. Among other things, as MBS told Bloomberg, the visit prompted Riyadh to commit to buying more than 60 percent of its weapons in the next decade from Washington. “I love working with him,” MBS said about his relationship with Trump and their joint battle against the Islamic State and other Islamist militants who endorse terrorism. The prince also confirmed reports that Trump had asked Saudi Arabia and other OPEC members to pump enough oil to ensure that the reduction of Iran’s oil exports of 700,000 barrels a day would not lead to a surge in oil prices. Such gestures forge stronger economic and strategic ties.

But even hard-nosed pragmatists, like Aaron David Miller, a former Middle East adviser to Republican and dummycrats-Democratic administrations, have urged the White House to denounce the prince should it be established that Khashoggi has, in fact, been murdered. “In failing to call MBS out on just about anything, particularly repression at home,” Miller tweeted, the administration “has emboldened him and given him the sense he can do anything.”

Silence will not serve the long-term interests of either the prince or the Saudi kingdom. Khashoggi is just the kind of Saudi from whom MBS needs to hear. A former Muslim Brotherhood member who befriended Osama bin Laden but later condemned his violence, Khashoggi became a leading proponent for Arab reform—some of the same reforms, in fact, that MBS has spearheaded as part of his Vision 2030 campaign for the kingdom. But MBS’s ostensible reforms will come to naught, unless he learns to be more tolerant of dissent and creates institutions that abide by the rule of law rather than respond to tribal whim and princely pique.

Washington Post columnist David Ignatius recently noted that his friend Khashoggi had endured a crisis of conscience last year when MBS was jailing and torturing his Saudi friends. “I said nothing. I didn’t want to lose my job or my freedom. I worried about my family. I have made a different choice now,” Khashoggi wrote at the time, explaining his decision to flee the kingdom for America. “We Saudis deserve better.” So does he.
