{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Spending on military weapons systems in 2019 is starting to take shape on Capitol Hill and the Senate is looking to bless some while slashing others... The chamber’s newly passed defense policy bill authorizes the Pentagon to spend more than $145 billion on procurement, according to an analysis by the McAleese and Associates consulting firm. Programs to develop the Navy’s new San Antonio-class amphibious warships and light attack aircraft for the Air Force and Marine Corps both got big boosts in the legislation. Other programs such as the Army’s Bradley Fighting Vehicle and the Navy's Littoral Combat Ship did not fare so well. The weapons decisions in the Senate's National Defense Authorization Act is a guidepost to congressional appropriators as they write annual defense spending bills. The NDAA itself is also still unsettled as lawmakers in the House and Senate huddle in the coming weeks to hammer out a final piece of legislation — and potential changes to the procurement plans...   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/winners-and-losers-in-the-senates-defense-policy-bill?utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_06/23/2018&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief

FBI Deliberately Ignored Abedin 'Golden Emails,' 
Jackpot of Evidence Against liar-Clinton
{ rickwells.us } ~ The Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and liar-Hillary Clinton have a HUGE Weiner problem... that is even bigger than we first realized. According to the recently released inspector general report, on September 28 and 29, 2016 the New York office of the FBI immediately reported to the Washington headquarters its discovery of, first, 141,000 and then 350,000 emails on the laptop of Anthony Weiner — also known as “Carlos Danger,” a now-convicted sex offender. Mr. Weiner is the husband of liar- Hillary Clinton’s inseparable aide Huma Abedin. Now we know by October 4, the New York office had found 700,000 emails. The New York agents had seen and reported to FBI leadership they had seen email headers, all domain names, Mrs. liar-Clinton’s initials on one sensitive but not classified document, and the missing BlackBerry backups...

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ South Carolina lawmaker Katie Arrington, who defeated U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford, R-S.C... in the Republican primary for his seat last month, was seriously injured in a fatal car accident on Friday night. Campaign adviser Michael Mule said that Arrington, 47, a state representative, was on her way to Hilton Head, South Carolina, for a Saturday morning event when another car, which was driving in the wrong lane, struck her vehicle head on.  According to a spokesman, she suffered a fracture in her back, several broken ribs and she will have major surgery to remove portions of her small intestine and colon. Because of the accident, a main artery in her leg also partially collapsed and will require a stint....
This RINO Senator Just Joined The Democrats 
And It’s Bad News For Trump 
{ americanpatriotdaily.com } ~ These saboteurs look for any opportunity to bring down President Trump... And this RINO Senator just announced he was going to join the Democrats and it has Chuck clown-Schumer jumping for joy. Arizona Senator backstabber-Jeff Flake has been a die-hard Trump hater since the campaign. backstabber-Flake’s loyalty is not to American citizens, conservatism, or the Constitution, but to cable TV bookers on liberal networks and illegal aliens. The backstabber- Arizona Senator has supported amnesty, gun control, and even dedicated an entire book to bashing President Trump for his “style.” But since backstabber-Flake now has nothing to lose, he’s taking his hate for Trump to a whole new level. backstabber-Flake is threatening to vote against all Trump’s judicial nominees unless he gets his way on tariffs and relations with Cuba...

Trump and the Invasion of the West

{ townhall.com } ~ "It is cruel. It is immoral. And it breaks my heart," says former first lady Laura Bush of the Trump administration policy of "zero tolerance," under which the children of illegal migrants are being detained apart from their parents.

"Disgraceful," adds Dr. Franklin Graham.

"We need to be ... a country that governs with a heart," says first lady Melania Trump. "No one likes this policy," says White House aide Kellyanne Conway, even "the president wants this to end."

And so it shall -- given the universal denunciations and photos of sobbing children being pulled from parents. Yet striking down the policy will leave America's immigration crisis still unresolved.

Consider. Since 2016, some 110,000 children have entered the U.S. illegally and been released, along with 200,000 Central American families caught sneaking across the border.

Reflecting its frustration, the White House press office declared:

"We can't deport them, we can't separate them, we can't detain them, we can't prosecute them. What the Democrats want is a radical open-border policy that lets everyone out into the interior of this country with virtually no documentation whatsoever."

Where many Americans see illegal intruders, Democrats see future voters.

And with 11,000 kids of illegal immigrants in custody and 250 more arriving every day, we could have 30,000 in custody by summer's end.

The existential question, however, thus remains: How does the West, America included, stop the flood tide of migrants before it alters forever the political and demographic character of our nations and our civilization?

The U.S. Hispanic population, already estimated at nearly 60 million, is predicted to exceed 100 million by 2050, just 32 years away.

And Europe's southern border is more imperiled than ours.

A week ago, the new populist regime in Rome refused to allow a boat full of migrants from Libya to land in Sicily. Malta also turned them away. After a voyage of almost a week and 1,000 miles, 630 migrants were landed in Valencia, Spain.

Why did Italy reject them? Under EU law, migrants apply for asylum in the country where they first enter Europe. This burdens Italy and Greece where the asylum-seekers have been arriving for years.

Of the landing in Spain, Italy's interior minister Matteo Salvini, a leader of the populist League party, chortled:

"I thank the Spanish government. I hope they take in the other 66,629 refugees inside Italy. We will not be offended if the French follow the Spanish, the Portuguese and Maltese, we will be the happiest people on earth."

If the migrants boats of the Med are redirected to Spanish ports, one suspects that the Spanish people will soon become as unwelcoming as many other peoples in Europe.

And Trump is not backing down. Monday he tweeted:

"The people of Germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous Berlin coalition. Crime in Germany is way up. Big mistake made all over Europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture!"

Whatever European leaders may think of him, many Europeans are moving in Trump's direction, toward more restrictions on immigration.

In Germany, a political crisis is percolating. The Bavarian-based CSU, longtime coalition partner of Chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU, is now talking divorce if Merkel does not toughen German policy.

Merkel has never fully recovered from the nationalist backlash against the million migrants she allowed in from Syria's civil war. A New Year's Eve rampage in Cologne, featuring wilding attacks on German girls by Arabs and Muslims, cost her dearly.

Among the reasons Bavarians are pulling away from Berlin is that, being in the south of Germany, Bavaria is a primary point of entry.

Virtually every one of the populist parties of Europe, especially of the right, have arisen to contest or to seize power by riding the issue of mass migration from Africa and the Middle East.

Yet the progressives adamantly refuse to act, apparently paralyzed by a belief that restricting the free movement of peoples from foreign lands violates one of the great commandments of liberal democracy.

We are truly dealing here with an ideology of Western suicide.

If Europe does not act, its future is predictable.

The population of Africa, right across the Med, is anticipated to climb to 2.5 billion by midcentury. And by 2100, Africa will be home half of all the people of the planet.

If but a tiny fraction of the African and Middle Eastern population decides to cross the Mediterranean to occupy the emptying towns and villages of an aging and dying continent, who and what will stop them?

Trump may be on the wrong side politically and emotionally of this issue of separating migrant kids from their parents.

But on the mega-issue -- the Third World invasion of the West -- he is riding the great wave of the future, if the West is to have a future.

Court Tosses Attempt to Punish liar-Clinton 
Lawyers Over email Scandal
{ rickwells.us } ~ Maryland’s top court this week rejected an attempt to punish liar-Hillary Clinton’s lawyers for their role in deleting her emails... overturning a lower court that had approved a misconduct investigation. Activist lawyer Ty Clevenger, who had demanded the investigation, said the state Court of Appeals “whitewashed” the case, protecting David Kendall, Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson from facing penalties for their activity. The court ruled that Mr. Clevenger had gone to the wrong court in seeking to force the state bar counsel to investigate. Instead of going to a circuit court, he should have gone straight to the Court of Appeals, they ruled...  https://rickwells.us/court-tosses-punish-clinton-lawyers-email-scandal/

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ JSW Steel has announced an agreement to purchase Acero Junction facility in Mingo Junction, Ohio... Thanks specifically to the Trump administration economic plan, it is investing upwards of $500 million in the old Ohio steel plant that was built in 1929, instead of constructing a new facility in India. The project is expected to generate an estimated 300 permanent jobs in a town of just 3,400 people. “We are going to revitalize that facility and that entire community,” CEO John Hritz said..

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~  Valencia, the third-largest city in Spain, has approved a motion to boycott Israel and slander it by declaring the city an "Israeli apartheid-free zone."... The move comes days after Navarra, one of Spain's 17 autonomous communities, announced a similar measure. In all, more than 50 Spanish cities and regions have passed motions condemning Israel. The proliferating anti-Israel activism, driven by the rise to power of the political far-left, is establishing Spain as the EU member state most hostile towards the Jewish state. The Valencian measure, introduced by the far-left party València en Comú, was approved during a plenary session of the city council on May 31. The motion, which commits the city to refrain from engaging in business contacts or cultural events with Israeli authorities or companies, aims at establishing Valencia as "a global reference for solidarity with the Palestinians." The motion, which libelously describes Israel as an "apartheid regime," accuses the Jewish state of "colonialism," "racism," "ethnic cleansing," "tyranny," and "genocide."... Spain you are making a big mistake..
Netanyahu says indictment against 
wife Sara is ‘new height of absurdity’ 
{ timesofisrael.com } ~ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to his wife Sara’s defense Friday... saying the indictment filed against her a day earlier for misusing state funds was “a new height of absurdity.” The prime minister’s wife is charged along with Ezra Saidoff, a former deputy director general of the Prime Minister’s Office, with fraud along with breach of trust. The two are accused of fraudulently charging some NIS 359,000 ($100,000) in gourmet meals to the state’s expense between 2010 and 2013, violating laws that ban the ordering of prepared food when a chef is already employed at the official residence...

Socialist DOJ Employee Harasses DHS Secretary

by Political Editors:  This past Tuesday evening, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen went out to a DC-area Mexican restaurant for dinner. Not long after being seated, several socialist activists entered the restaurant to protest Nielsen for doing her job and enforcing President Donald Trump’s zero-tolerance border policy. One member of this group of activists was Allison Hrabar, who works for the Department of Justice. She is also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. In other words, she’s a communist.

             During the protest, Nielson was called serval names, including a “villain” and a “fascist pig,” and was accused of separating illegal alien minors from their parents permanently. You know, the standard talking points from Democrats and the Leftmedia.
               After the protest made the news, due to the mainstream media’s recent obsession with this latest illegal immigration controversy, Hrabar’s presence at the protest and her employment status with the DOJ was brought to light. When questioned about her involvement in the protest, Hrabar defended herself saying that she wasn’t on government time and it was her First Amendment right. She added, “It feels really good to confront people who are actually responsible, which is what we have a unique opportunity to do in DC.”
               However, while the protest may have not been on government time, it appears that Hrabar has been engaging in political speech at work. She sent several political tweets during work hours, including on Wednesday at 1:56 p.m. when she tweeted, “Keeping families together in jail is not an acceptable solution.” The Daily Caller reports, “Despite Hrabar’s claims of keeping her personal politics outside of her time as an employee of the federal government, a look at her Twitter account, @allisongeroi, features tweets during the workday openly celebrating her behavior Tuesday night.” One of those messages stated, “No one who has ever made their living terrorizing immigrants deserves peace. If you see one in a restaurant, at a movie, or in your neighborhood, remind them of that.
               Hrabar has since privatized her account. No wonder.   ~The Patriot Pos

{ investigativeproject.org } ~ Israel's domestic intelligence agency chief Nadav Argaman last week released sobering figures on the scope of the ongoing terrorist threat facing Israelis... The figures that make it clear that the relative quiet routine in Israeli cities is deceptive, and that this quiet rests completely on counter-terrorist efforts, which almost defy the imagination in their scope. Communities located on Israel's border region with Gaza have been experiencing frequent Hamas assaults in recent months, from rockets, mortars, and now explosive devices and Molotov cocktails attached to kites and balloons, which are sent over the border into Israel to burn down farmland and forests. The rest of Israel, however has been mostly free of attacks for some time – though this is not because the terrorists have stopped trying...

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Thanks to the efforts of Judicial Watch, we now find a name at the very heart of some of the most controversial investigative collapses in modern political history... The same rino-John McCain staffer who told the IRS to weaponize their database to target Tea Party groups, was intimately involved in Fast-and-Furious, Benghazi, IRS and now -under the Trump administration- “Spygate”. If you wanted to control or cover-up a DC scandal where would you need to be? What positions would you need to control? A) the witnesses, and the investigators. In essence, deep inside the agencies or committees doing the investigation. That’s exactly the functionality where Henry John Kerner comes in. Yesterday it was revealed that Henry J Kerner (Henry Kerner), as a former rino-McCain senior staff official, was part of a bipartisan DC team who c onstructed the IRS weaponization program to target the Tea Party.  That’s bad enough. However, a little more digging, you’re not going to believe this: the same guy who was attached to the prior investigations, is now in charge of all DC “corruption” and “whistle-blowing” cases, including the current FBI and DOJ corruption....

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Rep. screwball-Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.) on Thursday defended recent protests and downplayed crass behavior by those on the left... blaming President Donald Trump for their behavior. CNN host Erin Burnett brought up a slew of "vile" acts, including hecklers forcing DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen out of a restaurant, House members screaming at Trump, and actor Peter Fonda’s offensive tweet. Fonda wrote, "we should rip Barron Trump from his mother's arms and put him in a cage with pedophiles," and later apologized, but screwball-Swalwell blamed Trump for creating this much "emotion in the country." "When you separate a baby from its breastfeeding mother and put that child in a cage, you're going to see emotion in this country," screwball-Swalwell said. He added that he has received messages asking him to do something, and he expressed dissatisfaction that the House Judiciary Committee was instead looking at liar-Hillary Clinton’s email scandal in light of the inspector general’s recent report. That report found bias at the FBI during the investigation of liar-Clinton during her time as secretary of state... screwball is spreading the fake news about the baby.

Gone are the heady days when, if you could make it to Europe from Africa, you were welcomed with open arms.

by David Limbaugh
{ townhall.com } ~ Virtue signaling soared to new heights with the family separation issue on the southern border. Too many people, including many well-meaning ones, are leaving their minds at the door with knee-jerk responses to media hype.

No, I'm not saying there wasn't a real problem with separating children from their parents on the border, and I'm not saying I was indifferent to this matter. Quite the opposite.

But I am surprised that people can get worked up to a mob-like frenzy if the media and certain politicians stoke things enough and if they are feeling strong peer pressure to oversimplify issues and join stern moral rebukes of anyone who even raises questions.

One reason the Framers incorporated checks and balances into our Constitution is to prevent government from being overly reactive and moving too quickly -- not that there aren't warranted exceptions to that rule. It's striking that people can become hysterical over a gradually developing problem.

Donald Trump ran and was elected on an immigration enforcement platform. He promised stringent border enforcement, centered on the building of a wall. If he has a mandate on anything, it is this issue.

At the core of Trump's immigration position is his strong commitment to America's national sovereignty. An essential component of that is a vigorous adherence to the rule of law.

Thus, it should have been no surprise when Trump's attorney general issued his zero-tolerance policy concerning border enforcement. As chief executive officer of the United States, why wouldn't this border hawk formally reverse a reckless policy that pulverizes the rule of law? That he even needed Jeff Sessions to issue such an order is a testament to the degree to which we have abandoned the rule of law, from laxity on the border to sanctuary cities.

One problem with being a policy slave to one's emotions is that it clouds one's judgment to the ramifications of precipitous government action. Did those clamoring for Trump's immediate reversal of Sessions' order to enforce the law consider or care that our cynical nonenforcement is what largely led to the "crisis" we have been witnessing on the border? Isn't it obvious that the government's known ambivalence to border enforcement has incentivized migration to the United States, which inarguably includes terrorists, gang members and other criminals who have no interest in assimilating? In all their moral preening, do they really believe America can or should absorb unlimited numbers with no restrictions at all?

We used to have a national consensus that immigration should be an orderly process, closely regulated to ensure that applicants demonstrate their genuine desire to become a part of America, embracing its ideals and pledging their commitment to the Constitution.

That consensus is gone. The Democratic Party and too many Republicans are open-borders advocates believing, as a logical extension of the policies they support, albeit not outright, that this nation has no moral or sovereign right to control its borders. That is astounding. If you love this nation and its founding ideals, how could you possibly endorse open borders, which would eventually destroy the nation, if for no other reason than uncontrolled immigration guarantees a disintegration of the American compact?

But when advocates of border enforcement make these arguments, they are met immediately with catcalls of nativism and racism or some perverse brand of nationalism. Open-borders zealots have even turned the idea of patriotism into a dirty word -- as a code for racism. The glaring irony is that our unique constitutional system and the values undergirding it produced the very freedom and prosperity that have always drawn immigrants to this nation.

Don't even get me started on the Democratic Party's cynical attempt to fast-track amnesty to add a new class of people to its voting rolls. As with African-Americans, it has convinced many Hispanic immigrants that Republicans hate them, as opposed to revering our national sovereignty and the rule of law.

It's undeniable that Democratic leaders exploited this issue for political gain. If the children were their primary concern, they would join with Republicans in enforcing the border and thereby disincentivize caravans of people migrating toward our border. Moreover, instead of blaming President Trump, they would acknowledge that it is the parents and fake parents who are the principal culprits, for if they had complied with the law and the proper immigration process, their children would not have been separated from them, except in justifiable cases.

Most significantly, they would have applauded President Trump for finally yielding to their demands and issuing an executive order saying that children will not be separated from their parents, pending review of the parents' cases. But as soon as Trump signed the order, his critics moved to the next demagogic Trump-bashing phase, excoriating him for keeping both the parents and the children in detention.

In other words, Trump has flushed them out. It wasn't about the children. Their purpose in browbeating Trump -- beyond the obvious one, politically damaging him -- is to push back to "catch and release," which rewards those who jump the line and illegally enter our country with practical immunity.

This should be a lesson to Republicans snowed by Democrats and the media into becoming part of the mob. Democrats have had endless chances to show their good faith but would prefer, until they can secure blanket amnesty for up to 20 million new Democratic voters, to reserve this issue for maximum political gain.

I dare say that the lax enforcement policies that Democrats want to restore would be more destructive to children in the long run -- both immigrant children and American children, the latter of whom would eventually be disinherited from the blessings we've enjoyed as citizens of the greatest nation ever conceived.

I pray that we approach the entire immigration issue with sobriety, prudence and compassion -- weighing all factors and producing a solution that honors the Constitution and rule of law and minimizes harm to children domestic and foreign, both in the present and in the future.

{ americanthinker.com } ~ You missed it. But that's all right: everyone else missed it, too... Michael Horowitz is the Department of Justice's Inspector General. He testified on June 18th before the Senate Judiciary Committee about his report concerning the liar-Hillary Clinton national security breach investigation. The revelation came to light during questioning by Senator John Kennedy. (@7:36) Horowitz testified that “most” of the investigative decisions in that investigation were made not by the FBI but by prosecutors within the Department of Justice. One might be tempted to conclude that much of the criticism of the FBI for its decisions in the aforesaid liar-Clinton investigation would have to be discounted or re-examined. Perhaps. But that is not the most important conclusion. For whatever reason, it is clear from the report that the structure of the FBI/DOJ's liar-Clinton investigation was all off: the FBI was reduced to providing a set of runners perhaps willing and even avid, because of their demonstrated bias, runners, but runners just the same for DOJ attorneys...

Germany's Migrant Policy: Why Trump was Right

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ US President Donald Trump attacked German Chancellor Angela Merkel's migrant policy this week... The people of Germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous Berlin coalition," he tweeted on June 18. "Crime in Germany is way up. Big mistake made all over Europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture!" he added. President Trump's comments come at a time when Merkel is facing the biggest crisis of her career. She is struggling to hold her government together, with the Bavarian Catholic party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), threatening to leave the governing coalition over immigration. The CSU wants the police to have the authority to turn away illegal migrants at the border, a move bitterly opposed by Merkel. While Trump slammed Merkel's handling of the migrant crisis during his presidential campaign, until now, he has refrained from publicly criticizing her over the issue...   https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/12570/germany-crime-trump

{ defenddemocracy.org } ~ Decade after decade, one U.S. president after another, Democrat and Republican alike... knew that the tyrants who rule North Korea were slowly but surely developing the means to incinerate American cities. Those presidents did nothing, or at least nothing effective. President Trump could have responded by tweeting: “liar-Clinton, Bush, liar-nObama left me a mess! Too late now! Sad!” Instead, he decided he would try to solve a problem that has become a crisis. So last week he met with Kim Jong-un in Singapore. Has the threat from North Korea’s nuclear weapons and increasingly sophisticated intercontinental ballistic missiles been eliminated? Of course not and I wish the president wouldn’t claim otherwise. I also wish he hadn’t been quite so effusive in his praise of the mass-murdering, 30-something despot. But perhaps there is method in Mr. Trump’s maddening diplomacy.As you may have heard, Mr. Trump showed Mr. Kim a 4-minute video, an ersatz Hollywood movie trailer titled, “A Story of Opportunity.” The narrator announces: “A new story. A new beginning. One of peace. Two men, two leaders, one destiny. A story about a special moment in time, when a man is presented with one chance which may never be repeated.

To Help Iran, Angela Merkel Tries to Pull a Fast One With Swift

{ defenddemocracy.org } ~ As the U.S. moves to reimpose sanctions on Iran, German Chancellor Angela Merkel is working behind the scenes to undermine the effort... How President Trump responds could determine whether his strategy to put maximum pressure on the Islamic Republic will succeed or fail. During briefings in Washington, German officials have indicated their goal: to ensure that Iran remains connected to the Swift system—formally called the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication—that facilitates global financial transactions. By protecting Iran’s access to the Swift network, Germany hopes to preserve Europe’s ability to pay for Iranian oil, and receive payment for European exports, in contravention of U.S. sanctions. The Germans know that any maximum-pressure campaign against Iran cannot succeed if Iran remains connected to Swift. Last month, in light of “U.S. sanctions which could target EU entities active in oil transactions with Iran,” the European Commission encouraged European Union members to explore the idea of sending direct payments to the Central Bank of Iran. Access to the Swift network makes this possible. If such a payment were transmitted, the U.S. could designate the European country’s central bank as a violator of sanctions, blocking its access to dollars and isolating it from the international financial system. German leaders are betting the Treasury Department would not take the economic risk of doing so...

{ townhall.com } ~ Department of Justice [OIG] Inspector General Michael Horowitz and FBI Director Christopher Wray took questions in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee Monday afternoon about the OIG's recent report, released last week.The report surrounds FBI behavior during the 2016 presidential election and the decision not to prosecute former Secretary of State liar-Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information. 

Earlier this year, a separate OIG report found former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe lied repeatedly to FBI and Inspector General investigators. He played a large role in the FBI's handling of the criminal investigation into liar-Clinton. Today, he pleaded the Fifth and refused to testify. 

"The Committee also invited Former Attorney General Lynch, Former FBI Director Comey, and former Deputy Director McCabe to testify today. Mr. McCabe’s lawyer wrote that his client would rely on his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination to avoid answering any questions here today," Chairman Chuck Grassley said during his opening statement. 

Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch also failed to show up and fired FBI Director James Comey said he was unavailable due to vacation.

"Mr. Comey’s attorney tells us he is out of the country, although I saw he was in Iowa over the weekend. According to his twitter feed, he seems to be having a wonderful time. This is the second time since he was fired that Mr. Comey refused an invitation to testify here voluntarily. He has time for book tours and television interviews, but apparently no time to assist this Committee, which has primary jurisdiction over the Justice Department," Grassley said. "Ms. Lynch also chose not to show up. The need for transparency does not end when senior officials are fired or quit."

Republicans on the Committee attempted to change the rules to force witnesses like Comey to show up. Democrats, specifically Ranking Member Dianne Fein-stein, refused to get onboard.  

"We changed our rules at the beginning of this Congress to ensure the Chairman and the Ranking Member could compel hearing testimony from important witnesses like these," Grassley said. "Unfortunately, the Ranking Member refused to agree to compel any of them to be here today. That’s a shame, because we should be asking them how all of this happened on their watch."

This tactical and strategic shift is outlined in a new Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center report. On Tuesday, Israel's air force struck several Hamas' military targets after terrorists deployed incendiary kites and balloons that caused severe fires in Israeli communities on the Gaza border. Hamas escalated the violence by launching 45 mortar shells and rockets at Israel. Two days earlier, Hamas fired three rockets into Israel following Israeli strikes responding to Palestinian arson terrorism. This Hamas-provoked tit-for-tat resembles similar sequences of events that took place two weeks ago in a violent escalation between the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and Israel...

{ defenddemocracy.org } ~ Tomorrow in Vienna, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) will meet with several non-OPEC producers... including Russia, to chart the future of the global oil market. The group – informally known as OPEC plus – will decide whether to ease production cuts that were implemented in 2016 in an effort to drive up prices, which had crashed to a 13-year low. Those production cuts together with unanticipated supply disruptions and rising global demand proved extremely successful, with prices last month rising to their highest levels in more than three years. The fear now is that if the current cuts are sustained, the market could tighten too much, triggering a major price spike that would damage global growth. Two emerging situations are of particular concern: the continued implosion of Venezuela’s oil sector and re-imposed U.S. sanctions that could significantly reduce Iranian exports. The United States has been pressing OPEC to amend its production-cutting scheme. Just before President Donald Trump’s May 8 decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, a senior U.S. official called Saudi Arabia to seek its help in making up for lost Iranian barrels. That request was bookended by two blunt tweets from Trump blasting OPEC’s role in driving up prices. “Looks like OPEC is at it again,” Trump wrote in April. “Oil prices are artificially Very High! No good and will not be tolerated!” Ten days ago, he reiterated the point: “Oil prices are too high. OPEC is at it again. Not good.”...

Americans Need Plain Sight: 
The IG Report Hides the Truth
by Justin O. Smith


{ americanthinker.com } ~ The FBI brass must have needed hazmat suits to scrub DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report on agency misconduct in the 2016 elections, since the evidence of high crimes at the highest level of government was abundant. The truth is being hidden, by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and the result is a sort of fiction representative of something out of George Orwell's '1984.' So, we must do everything within our power to force the issue, quite contrary to status quo voices in government and the media, who are not representing the U.S. Constitution and its objectives based on our founding virtues. We must, in fact, hold these perpetrators, in the FBI, the DOJ, and elsewhere within the government, accountable for illegally conspiring to prevent Donald Trump from winning the election and afterwards trying to unseat him from power. 
 
The five-hundred page IG report was released to Congress on June 12, 2018, and it barely scrapes the surface. It doesn't really reveal anything that the American people were not already aware had occurred. I made note of the Peter Strzok and Lisa Page texts in January 2018, just as the IG report recently did.
 
As reported by John Bowden on June 14, at The Hill,  Page texted Strzok in August 2016 and asked, "Trump's not ever going to become president, right? Right?"  "No. No he won't," Strzok responded. 
 
Why are these two FBI agents still working for the FBI?
 
And yet, in regards to investigative decisions by FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok, the lead investigator on the liar-Clinton email case and the Russia investigation, and Lisa Page, an FBI attorney, Inspector General Michael Horowitz incredibly offers us that there was "no evidence that the conclusions by the prosecutors were affected by bias or other improper considerations."
 
Radio host Mark Levin really put things in their proper perspective, on Thursday June 14, when he spoke with Fox News personality Sean Hannity and observed that the "cabal" of Strzok, Page, FBI Director James Comey, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and others intentionally tried to sabotage Donald Trump's run for president and worked to protect liar-Hillary Clinton from indictment. Levin further explained to Sean Hannity, as he observed: 

"I went through this major report here. I see several things. Number one, out of all the texts, all the documents, all the emails that have been reviewed. You know what's interesting, Sean? There is not a single pro-Trump text. There's not a single anti- liar-Hillary text. There's not a single pro-Trump senior FBI official. There's not a single anti- liar-Hillary FBI official. This was a cabal. And what these people had as their purpose, to interfere with a presidential election."

Among several other important items, the report also givesliar-Hillary Clinton a pass on the mishandling of Top Secret information, even though it's unfathomable that any career government official would not realize that an insecure system was not any place for those conversations. Seven email chains were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level and went through liar-Clinton's private server in an unsecured manner, Steven Lee Myers reported on July 5, 2016 for the New York Times, and it is now known, that "foreign actors" Russians? did, in fact, access them, according to a recent report by Catherine Herridge and Adam Shaw at Fox News.
 
This was willful and criminal misconduct by liar-Hillary Clinton, because the gap between unclassified and Top Secret was so wide and obvious. She had to know her actions were criminal and illegal, and there was a purpose and a deception at work here, namely to cover up the illegal actions she and liar-nObama took in Libya and across the Middle East.
 
Horowitz's report split hairs with the definition of "gross negligence" -- concluding that the term encompassed conduct "so gross as to almost suggest deliberate intention" or something that falls just short of being willful.
 
Horowitz found that liar-Hillary Clinton did not intend to violate the law, much in the disingenuous fashion that former FBI Director James Comey also claimed. Any person capable of reading the law and cogent thought knows that our prisons are full of people whose crimes were not intentional, but they were still prosecuted and imprisoned for breaking the law.
 
This report has all the appearances of a whitewash and an evasion of the FBI's troubling role in this garbage barge of institutional roguery. Americans remain in the dark, due to questions left unanswered, such as what really transpired between former President liar-Bill Clinton and liar-nObama administration Attorney General Loretta Lynch during their July 2016 airport tarmac tete-a-tete, a few days before Comey let liar-Hillary, a presidential candidate, off the hook on the email server issue. How was it not a conflict of interest for Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe's wife to receive $700,000 for her state legislative race, from liar-Clinton's campaign bag-man, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe? How did the wife of a top Justice department official, Bruce Ohr, get on the payroll of Fusion GPS, the company that brokered the Steele dossier? And how did the FBI conceal the fact from the judges who ruled on FISA warrants against President Trump and his associates, that the Steele dossier was bought and paid for by the liar-Clinton campaign?
 
There isn't a hint of any IG report on other FBI abuse of power,  like inserting an actual spy, reportedly Stefan Halper, into President Trump's campaign. Neither is there any attention given to the FBI concealment of liar-nObama's mendacious denial that he knew anything aboutliar-Clinton's secret server.
 
What alternate universe is Horowitz from and when are these lawbreakers to the United States going to be prosecuted and thrown into the deepest, darkest dungeon, underneath a prison?
 
U.S. Attorney John Huber has supposedly been investigating several of these crimes since November 2017. His boss, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, has informed House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) that such an investigation is within the full scope of Huber's existing mandate. With 470 investigators, Huber has enormous investigative firepower that far exceeds the staff of any special counsel.

Americans need plain sight and new leaders with plain sight, pure and simple, because something evil is coursing through the halls of our government and in the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation these days. Anytime an average citizen can recognize the multiple acts of treason that were committed by Barack liar-nObama, liar-Hillary Clinton and their minions, through the State Department, the FBI and the Department of Justice, but career federal agents dismiss them as oversights or "unintended," something is terribly wrong, and if the Inspector General's report is any indication, our Republic is on its last dying legs, unless the patriots of America can right the Republic, peacefully or not.

{ dailycaller.com } ~ Drip by drip, details have emerged over the past several months showing the Department of State under the liar-nObama administration played a larger role... at key junctures in the Trump-Russia probe than previously known. State Department officials obtained and reviewed parts of the infamous Steele dossier by mid-July 2016, well before FBI headquarters had access to the document. The U.S. embassy in London was also an early recipient of information about former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos that the FBI would use to justify opening its counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016. And in a little-noticed Senate hearing on Wednesday, it was revealed that dossier author Christopher Steele briefed State Department officials at Foggy Bottom in October 2016. The briefing suggests closer contacts between Steele and the State Department than the agency has acknowledged. Three diplomats — Victoria Nuland, Jonathan Winer and Elizabeth Dibble — appear to be key to the State Department’s role in handling Trump-related Russia information. Nuland, who was the liar-nObama State Department’s top Russia expert, received excerpts of Steele’s dossier in mid-July 2016, about two months before the salacious document would reportedly make its way to the FBI team investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government...  http://dailycaller.com/2018/06/21/obamas-state-department-had-early-role-in-probe/?utm_medium=email

{ dailycaller.com } ~ Former Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik is unlikely to face any legal consequences for tipping off liar-Clinton campaign manager John Podesta... to a release of liar-Hillary’s emails, experts tell the Daily Caller. Kadzik’s conduct in the DOJ was described by Michael Horowitz’s IG report as constituting “poor judgment.” According to last week’s IG report, Peter Kadzik was trying to get his son hired by the liar-Hillary Clinton campaign while Kadzik himself was part of the investigation into liar-Clinton’s private server. He also emailed liar- Clinton’s 2016 campaign chair, John Podesta, with a “heads up” on when the some of her emails would be released publicly. Regarding Kadzik’s conduct, former FBI assistant director Ron Hosko told The Daily Caller, “Based on the findings of the IG, and their analysis, I don’t see Kadzik’s activities as a violation of law.”...   http://dailycaller.com/2018/06/21/exclusive-fbi-doj-kadzik-pogo/?utm_medium=email

California Democrats' Voting Scam

{ frontpagemag.com } ~ “The California state budget on Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk puts tens of millions of dollars into programs that could help undocumented immigrants fight federal efforts to deport them,”... the Sacramento Bee reports, “including opening up $10 million to hire lawyers for unaccompanied minors trying to stay in the U.S.” For that crowd, the Democrats’ $200 billion budget has even more to give. The budget “expands funding for immigration legal services offered through the Department of Social Services and public colleges,” and “includes $1.6 million to build a team of eight attorneys and investigators in the Labor Commissioner's office at the Department of Industrial Relations.” This team will enforce AB 430, “a state law that requires businesses to tell their employees when they’re contacted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.” As the report notes, “employers face penalties of $2,000 to $10,000 if they fe.ail to notify their workers of a pending immigration action.” Last year’s budget “put $45 million into providing legal services to immigrants,” which the Department of Social Services deploys to “hire nonprofit organizations that will work on immigration cases.” The new funding “steers some of that money directly to colleges. It gives $10 million to community colleges for immigration legal services, $7 million to the California State University system and $4 million to the University of California.” Still, it’s not done...A waste of money, why not help fix your tent cities in your state.
‘Extremist, Open-Border Democrats’ Won’t Fund Personnel,

{ cnsnews.com } ~ During a cabinet-level meeting at the White House, President Donald Trump accused Democrats of refusing... to fund the personnel, bed space, and resources needed to house illegal minors for political reasons. “Democrats also refuse to fund the personnel, the bed space, the resources that we need to house the minors. Now, they want us to take care of the minors, and that's fine, but they don't want to give us the money to take care of them,” the president said. “Because the worse everything looks, they think, the better they're going to do, with respect to the blue wave. Which is turning out, frankly, to be a red wave if you look at the polls. I think we're going to have a red wave, not a blue wave,” Trump added...

NAC Objects to Census Citizenship Question 

TDU_uBT-6pGG30sDqKGjbDEHWyvy8wx6Gx5yct1jJOayld6gMAVynSeB-nZPufnYDV1NPbvU5H0hFGpPrYjd7NV4VD8hKWjoFuPlh-GVXb66HDVy_F-Gko2nE0NbxqqXfcKLPUNQ2ujAhqLGbmkMsQCt0tb6Jnk9CDQZ6BbJL0s=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450
by Political Editors:  “If the truth offends, then avoid asking for it.” In preparation for the coming 2020 U.S. census, the Census Bureau finds itself wrestling with a group of leftist community organizers and academics otherwise known as the National Advisory Committee on Racial, Ethnic and Other Populations (NAC). On the first day of the recent spring 2018 meeting of the afore mentioned advisory committee, complaints were quickly leveled over the Trump administration’s decision to include a certain question in the census. And what was this “controversial” question that raised leftist ire? It was, “Are you an American or not?” A basic citizenship question, which any government of a sovereign nation should rightly be entitled to know.

             Why were the members of NAC so incensed by the citizenship question, especially when the committee is highly supportive of including more questions designed to further delineate various racial and ethnic groups? Is not the designation of “American citizen” arguably the most important identifier of the census? Critics claim that citizenship questions deter noncitizens from engaging in the census survey, but other smaller surveys of American households that include the citizenship question do not suffer this problem.
               Could the actual reason that leftists like NAC oppose the citizenship question have more to do with their globalist open-borders ideology rather than any genuine fears of discouraging noncitizens? Maybe the better question is why the Census Bureau believes it needs the help of leftist committees like NAC to conduct the census?   ~The Patriot Pos

{ foxnews.com } ~ As a legal immigrant brought to America by my parents when I was a baby... I was particularly upset when I saw illegal immigrant parents and children being separated when they crossed into the U.S. in recent days. But I was happy when President Trump did the right thing and signed an executive order Wednesday allowing parents who have crossed the border illegally to remain with their children. Children should not be made to suffer for the actions of their parents. President Trump has compassion for these children. So does first lady Melania Trump, who showed this Thursday by visiting a detention center in Texas for children who entered the U.S. illegally. At the same time, I applaud the president for holding firm on his “zero tolerance” policy and criminally prosecuting any immigrants who come to the U.S. in violation of our laws. This sends a powerful message to all who disrespect our laws...

Who’s Responsible for Separating Alien Kids

{ dailysignal.com } ~ Who truly is responsible for the 2,000 alien kids who, according to the Associated Press, recently have been separated from their detained illegal alien parents?... There is a lot of blame to share. That includes President liar-Bill Clinton and the alien parents themselves, as well as the courts and immigration policies foolishly created by the liar-nObama administration. The perverse incentives in those policies have endangered the lives and safety of children and helped fund the deadly Mexican drug cartels that run the trafficking networks on our southern border. You would not know that based on the absurdly biased coverage and virulent protests that have occurred. The Trump administration is simply doing what it is constitutionally charged with doing—enforcing the law. The president on Wednesday issued an executive order that directs the Department of Homeland Security to keep illegal alien families together “to the extent permitted by law.” That is the crux of the administration’s problem: the extent to which the government is permitted to keep families together while they await removal proceedings...

But her plans may hit a snag,  accordingto POLITICO. And that snag is Democratic candidates who are pledging that she won’t have their support should they become members of Congress. The trend, says the article, started with the upset victory of Rep. Conor Lamb (D-Pa.) in a district that went heavily for Donald Trump in the last presidential election.

Health Care Consensus Plan

{ dailysignal.com } ~ The Center for American Progress recently released a study criticizing a Health Policy Consensus Group proposal to reduce premiums and increase choices... for the millions of families and small businesses who are forced to choose between remaining uninsured or buying expensive liar-nObamacare policies. The proposal, dubbed the Health Care Choices Proposal, would replace liar-nObamacare individual entitlements with grants to states. States would be required to use their federal grants to establish programs that subsidize premiums for low-income residents and that reduce premiums by assuring that the sick receive the assistance they need without saddling the healthy with unaffordable premiums. CAP’s seven-page critique of the proposal is a gumbo of falsehoods, misrepresentations, questionable assumptions, and contrived data that misrepresent both the content and the effect of the Health Care Choices Proposal...   https://www.dailysignal.com/2018/06/21/answering-criticisms-of-the-conservative-health-care-consensus-plan/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWlRJMFlXSTBNems0Wm1ObSIsInQiOiJLaFNVM3gwNDFyVFBiakhFK2YyZ2Jhd3NINjJEU3czUTZ1UjFWTTFkclBBZFBEelhpU2JTRHFyZkk2Rk9KejluK2tlWXdhbkRYS3lwRFcxOVdBNzdCOG83TkFkbmpSVGxIU3pVQmtINGVBdEdqR0VtVzZ5VWRcLzhTRHNjMDh1RGEifQ%3D%3D

‘We’re called scum, rats, pigs’: S. Africa’s 
Jews protest soaring anti-Semitism 
{ timesofisrael.com } ~ The South African Jewish Board of Deputies protested Thursday what it said was a huge spike of anti-Semitic and threatening messages... in social media and in face-to-face encounters, over the previous 24 hours. SAJBD Chairman Shaun Zagnoev said that while anti-Semitism was not uncommon, the latest comments were far more inflammatory than usual, and said extremist anti-Israel expressions had crossed over into vicious attacks on Jews. “The posts show how easily radical anti-Israel sentiment can spill over into hateful slurs and threats against Jewish people in general,” he said in a statement. “We are being told that we are ‘scum,’ ‘rats,’ ‘bastards,’ ‘pigs,’ ‘swine,’ and ‘fat-nosed f***ks.’ We are further being warned that ‘our time is coming’ and that ‘the Holocaust will be a picnic after we are done with you.’”...

liar-nObamaCare Repeal Back From the Dead?

by Jordan Candler:  There are rumblings that health care reform is fixing to reemerge in Congress thanks to a months-long venture by the Health Policy Consensus Group. This conservative coalition is composed of The Heritage Foundation, American Enterprise Institute, Galen Institute and Manhattan Institute, among others.

             “The conservatives’ proposal would drive control of health care almost entirely to the states, reversing the ACA’s [Affordable Care Act’s] federal mandates that seek to provide basic minimum benefits and consumer protections, which Republicans argue limit people’s choice,” The Wall Street Journal reports. “Under the conservative plan, states would receive ACA money in the form of block grants to help low-income consumers buy coverage. Health savings accounts, which let people set aside tax-free money for medical expenses, would be expanded. Insurers could give discounts to people who are young or maintain continuous coverage.
               The Journal adds: “The block grants would be the backbone of the conservative plan. Half of the grant funding would go toward supporting the purchase of private health coverage, and half toward helping low-income Americans get coverage, although the two categories would likely overlap. The grants would ban states from using the money to fund abortions, according to the draft proposal. Medicaid expansion would also be repealed, and people on Medicaid would be able to buy private insurance coverage.
               The caveat, of course, is succinctly laid out by the Journal: “Republican leaders have said they have no appetite for another push to repeal the ACA before the November midterm elections unless such a bill clearly has the votes to pass. Republicans faced a series of obstacles — including internal division and unified Democratic opposition — as their effort to repeal the ACA collapsed last year. There is little evidence those dynamics in Congress have changed.”
               As David Thornton points out at The Resurgent, “The midterm elections may seal the fate of the repeal effort. If Republicans lose their majority in either the House or the Senate, any serious effort to repeal the ACA would be doomed. At that point, the best that Republicans could hope for would be a bipartisan effort to fix the worst problems of the law.
               Fortunately, even if this new liar-nObamaCare repeal endeavor falters, there are liar-nObamaCare changes afloat. The Wall Street Journal editorial board this week revealed that “the Labor Department rolled out a final rule on AHPs,” or association health plans. The editors explain: “The point is to allow more small businesses to join forces to offer health insurance, using economies of scale to reduce costs and diversify risk. This is how corporations and unions manage health insurance in the large group market, either by paying an outside issuer or self-insuring.”
               It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s progress. “For once,” the Journal writes, “the test of a health-care policy will depend less on government dictates than on the choices of millions of Americans.”   ~The Patriot Pos

{ spectator.org } ~ California’s government has set itself up as Ground Zero for the resistance... epitomized by the 29 lawsuits the state has filed or joined with other states since the beginning of the Trump administration. Most of these cases are symbolic and serve mainly to energize the Democratic base. They make for great political theater and also offer an unusual narrative as left-wing California becomes the new redoubt of states’ rights. The courts will sort through that mess, but there’s a far more noxious way that California’s union-dominated Legislature is resisting changes at the federal level. In particular, the U.S. Supreme Court is soon expected to issue a ruling in the Janus v. the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees case. Given the makeup of the court, virtually all court watchers expect the high court to toss a law that requires public employees to pay union dues. This is a fabulous likely development, and could be the president’s most significant achievement given that Justice Neil Gorsuch is the swing vote. Since the 1977 Abood decision, the court allowed workers to opt out of the portion of union dues that is used for direct political purposes, but not for collective bargaining.  Janus’s plaintiffs argue, however, that all dues payments — even those related to contract negotiations — are inherently political. This surely is true, given that union contracts affect policy issues such as public spending, pension debt, and tenure...

spectator.org } ~The Bush family has a famously adversarial relationship with English. It became clear this week that at least one of them is also illiterate where U.S. history and immigration policy are concerned... This was demonstrated when former First Lady Laura Bush took to the pages of the Washington Post to denounce President Trump for enforcing a statute signed into law by her own husband, George W. Bush. Even worse, she compared the HHS facilities where the children of illegal immigrants are briefly housed to the infamous internment camps where Democrat icon FDR imprisoned 110,000 American citizens of Japanese descent. This comparison not only played into the hands of the very Democrats and partisan journalists who remorselessly savaged both her and her husband for eight solid years, it is wildly inaccurate. Mrs. Bush clearly knows very little about the plight of children caught up in the illegal immigration crisis, and even less about the internment camps she so glibly evoked. It’s blindingly obvious that she has been suckered by the propaganda relentlessly pumped out by the “news” media, completely taken in by their lurid images of wailing children and “cruel” DHS officials. Laura Bush has thus become just another useful idiot...Laura Bush needs a remedial course in history and immigration policy.

In 2016, numerous news media reports cited sources saying that as part of immunity deals concluded with Mills and Samuelson, the FBI had agreed to destroy their laptops after the conclusion of its investigation because the devices likely contained classified material. The 500-plus page report authored by the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General cites consent agreements for obtaining the laptops as stating that the evidence would ultimately be destroyed.

SPLC Finally Gets a Taste of Its Own Medicine

by Jordan Candler:  In what amounts to a wholesale betrayal of its early work, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has morphed into a racial nemesis. It regularly stokes resentment with unnecessary and empty charges of discrimination and hate. Quilliam, which is headquartered in the UK and bills itself as “the world’s first counter-extremism organisation” with an emphasis on “promoting pluralism and inspiring change,” is just one of many groups that has been targeted by the hate-hustling SPLC.

             Quilliam founder Maajid Nawaz, an Islamic reformist, was highlighted in the SPLC’s “Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists” a few years ago. In response, a lawsuit was filed by Quilliam, the outcome of which was revealed this week. According to a Quilliam press release, “The Southern Poverty Law Center, Inc. has apologized to Quilliam and its founder Maajid Nawaz for wrongly naming them in its controversial Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists.” The press release adds, “The SPLC also agreed to pay a $3.375 million settlement, which Quilliam and Nawaz intend to use to fund work fighting anti-Muslim bigotry and Islamist extremism.
               Of course, the $3.75 million figure is chump change relative to the SPLC’s $432.7 million endowment. It does, however, hopefully send a signal. How many more people and organizations stand on equally solid legal grounds to sue? Many, for sure. And a massive retaliation could theoretically bankrupt SPLC if litigation wasn’t so expensive. Sadly, money, not legitimacy, is at the heart of SPLC’s modern-day mission. As columnist Dennis Prager  writes, “Any organization that labels Ayaan Hirsi Ali — the extraordinary Somali-American woman who devotes her life to fighting for oppressed women, especially in the Islamic world — an ‘extremist,’ as the SPLC has done, is not a moral organization.” It is, for all intents and purposes, the Southern Poverty Lies Center.   ~The Patriot Pos

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ First Lady Melania Trump took an unexpected visit to McAllen, Texas, today planning to visit two immigrant holding facilities where children... are being housed following their illegal entry into the U.S.  The trip gave our first lady an opportunity to address officials in Texas. “Thank you for all you do,” she told officials as she started the meeting. “Thank you so much for having me today. I’m glad I’m here and looking forward to meeting the children.” “I’d also like to ask you how I can help reunite these children with their families as quickly as possible,” she added...   https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/06/21/first-lady-melania-trump-visits-texas-immigrant-holding-center/.
What Happened During the Michael Flynn FBI Interview?

{ saraacarter.com } ~ As I pointed out yesterday, Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) believes there is evidence to suggest that some of the Russia/liar-Clinton investigation FBI interview reports (known as 302s)... were “changed to either prosecute or not prosecute” certain individuals. This raises many concerns and questions. Among them, what does this mean for former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn? Former FBI Director James Comey provided conflicting testimony and statements regarding whether or not the FBI agents who conducted the Flynn interview believed he was lying during the questioning. So, what is an FBI 302 report? Typically, FBI procedures say that two agents are supposed to do the interview. The rationale behind it is so that you get two people, so there’s redundancy. For example, if one agent is unable to testify, there’s another person there who witnessed it. An interview of a subject usually comes at the very end of an investigation...   https://saraacarter.com/what-happened-during-the-michael-flynn-fbi-interview/

Palestinians: How to Achieve a Better Life

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ In the past two weeks, Palestinians received yet another reminder that they are living under undemocratic regimes that have less than no respect for public freedoms... The regimes of the Palestinian Authority (PA) in the West Bank and Hamas in the Gaza Strip never miss an opportunity to remind their people of the dire consequences that await anyone who speaks out against the leaders. The two Palestinian regimes have been forcing it down the throats of their people for many years. Still, some Palestinians seem surprised each time the PA or Hamas send their police officers to break up or, more precisely, to break bones in a demonstration in Ramallah or the Gaza Strip. The streets of Ramallah and Gaza City showcase, yet again, that the Palestinians' true tragedy over the past five decades has been failed and corrupt leadership -- one that keeps dragging them from one disaster to another; one that never offers them any hope; one that has been radicalizing and brainwashing its people; one that steals large portions of the financial aid provided by the international community, and one that has brought them nothing but dictatorship and repression...   https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/12559/palestinians-protests-dictatorship

by Michael Morris 
{ cnsnews.com } ~ On his Facebook and Twitterpages Thursday morning, nationally syndicated radio talk show host, Fox News Channel “Life, Liberty & Levin” host, author and American lawyer Mark Levin... unloaded on immigration, suggesting that Democrats, their media propagandists and RINOs “are incentivizing lawlessness, chaos, and the human misery that comes with it” in demanding amnesty and refusing to secure the southern border. “By demanding amnesty and refusing to secure the southern border, the open borders Democrats and their propagandists, joined by RINOs, are incentivizing lawlessness, chaos, and the human misery that comes with it,” stated Mark Levin on Twitter and his Facebook page. Mark Levin’s comments came after President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order halting family separation at the border on Wednesday. As reported by CNSNews.com, Trump said the following before signing the executive order, titled “Affording Congress an Opportunity to Address Family Separation”: “We're signing an executive order I consider to be a very important executive order. It's about keeping families together while at the same time making sure that we have a very powerful, very strong border, and border security will be equal, if not greater than previously.”...

The measure’s defeat was long expected. Many GOP moderates considered it too harsh and Democrats were solidly against it. Thursday’s vote gave hard-right Republicans, who largely come from deep-red districts, a chance to broadcast to voters the tough steps they would take on the issue. The measure was defeated 231-193. Following that vote, House Republican leaders abruptly postponed voting on a compromise immigration measure amid ongoing infighting between conservative and moderates...

Republicans Blast FBI Bias Exposed in the IG Report 

erGB2tjaI-WdgTjdmEJ8oRzfOuy8TGYpuPYpUpU1d79g0BenQJv4jBQvDXCkEHUKgc9vdIpZTx-8VPRtOlbeoVH5DCybS5oGeCMKDz8q6T-lelJmP5W7W-2bIw94SBfvGF5VxBdPIG9UuJplH0b9j7PUVdtL4za87Z0n2LvgZxM=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450
by Political Editors:  Over the last two days, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz have sat before both the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight Committee to face questions on the findings of the recently released IG report over the FBI’s handling of the liar-Hillary Clinton email investigation. The bombshell revelation from that report was that “senior FBI employees [were] willing to take official action to impact a presidential candidate’s electoral prospects.”

             On Monday, in what may have been one of the most pointed exchanges during the Senate hearing, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) countered Horowitz’s conclusion that he found no bias in the FBI’s eventual conclusion with its liar-Clinton investigation. Graham stated, “I’m not buying that the liar-Clinton investigation was on the up and up, and the reason I am not buying it is because the two people intimately involved, one, the lead investigator, clearly did not want to see Donald Trump become president of the United State.” He was referring to Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. Graham later noted that between former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Strzok “someone is lying” about McCabe’s presence in a particular meeting. Horowitz effectively agreed.
               Tuesday, it was the House’s turn, and Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) didn’t hold back. Gowdy specifically focused on the IG report’s findings on the behavior and decisions made by former FBI Director James Comey. “We see Jim Comey and Jim Comey alone deciding which DOJ polices to follow and which to ignore,” Gowdy noted. “He appointed himself FBI director, attorney general, special counsel, lead investigator and the general arbiter of what is good and right in the world according to him.” Gowdy then pointed out the obviously biased actions taken by members of the FBI who conducted the liar-Clinton email investigation, stating, “These exact same FBI agents and attorney prejudged the outcome of the Russia investigation before. Prejudging the outcome of an investigation before it ends, and prejudging the outcome of an investigation before it begins,” Gowdy insisted, is the “textbook definition of bias.”
               Here are more of Gowdy’s statements: I am alarmed, angered, and deeply disappointed by the Inspector General’s finding of numerous failures by DOJ and FBI in investigating potential Espionage Act violations by former Secretary of State liar-Hillary Clinton.
               This report confirms investigative decisions made by the FBI during the pendency of this investigation were unprecedented and deviated from traditional investigative procedures in favor of a much more permissive and voluntary approach. This is not the way normal investigations are run.
               The investigation was mishandled. The investigatory conclusions were reached before the end of the witness interviews. The July 5th press conference marked a serious violation of policy and process. And the letters to Congress in the fall of 2016 were both delayed in substance and unnecessary in form.
               Moreover, the treatment afforded to former Secretary liar-Clinton and other potential subjects and targets was starkly different from the FBI’s investigation into Trump campaign officials. Voluntariness and consent in the former were replaced with search warrants, subpoenas, and other compulsory processes in the latter. Many of the investigators and supervisors were the same in both investigations but the investigatory tactics were not.
               Former Director Comey violated Department policy in several significant ways. The FBI’s actions and those of former Director Comey severely damaged the credibility of the investigation, the public’s ability to rely on the results of the investigation, and the very institutions he claims to revere.
               The report also conclusively shows an alarming and destructive level of animus displayed by top officials at the FBI. Peter Strzok’s manifest bias trending toward animus casts a pall on this investigation. Bias is so pernicious and malignant as to both taint the process, the result, and the ability to have confidence in either.
               The law enforcement community has no greater ally in Congress than me. But continued revelations of questionable decision making by FBI and DOJ leadership destroys confidence in the impartiality of the institutions I have long served, respected, and believed in.
               This is not the FBI I know. This is not the FBI our country needs. This is not the FBI citizens and suspects alike deserve.
               It is now urgently incumbent on Attorney General Sessions and Director Wray to take decisive action to restore Americans’ confidence in our justice system.

Commie Hag Speier Okay with Dems Using BLM, 
Antifa Thug Tactics on DHS Sec Nielsen
{ rickwells.us } ~ Rep Jackie Speier (D-CA) is in full favor of the abusive tactics when it’s Democrat aligned groups... as it invariably is, such as Antifa, BLM or in this instance, a communist group, employing them against President Trump and American patriots. The dishonest open borders libtard is quick to defend, while defying both common sense and logic the thugs who attacked Homeland Security Secretary Nielsen in a restaurant last night. Speier could be as stupid as she claims, but she’s undeniably that disingenuous, and a partisan who puts the Democrat Party, socialism, open borders and globalism first, with America’s well-being and interests not even on her list. Speier, looking like she just walked out of a choom gang Hawaiian luau, is asked by her propagandist comrade, CNN’s Erin Burnett, for her response to what happened. She played a clip of the instance for both the audience and Speier, followed by a quote by a never-Trump radio host comparing Democrats to Nazi Brownshirts. Even blind squirrel Erick Erickson finds a nut once in a while...This is really distributing, where was the restaurant manager to stop this disruption.  https://rickwells.us/commie-speier-blm-antifa-thug/

{ dailycaller.com } ~ Outgoing GOP Sen. scumbag-Jeff Flake of Arizona is blocking votes on all of President Donald Trump’s appeals court nominees... to secure concessions from Republican leaders on tariffs and Cuban travel restrictions. scumbag-Flake, a Trump antagonist who is not seeking reelection amid floundering popularity with Arizona Republicans, has not openly addressed the matter, though his seat on a closely divided Senate Judiciary Committee gives him significant leverage over judgeships. Roll Call first reported that scumbag-Flake halted a committee vote on Georgia Supreme Court Justice Britt Grant’s nomination to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the federal appeals court based in Atlanta. CNN confirmed late Wednesday that the senator will block all appeals court nominees to prompt discussions on relations with Cuba and the president’s escalating trade war with much of the industrial world. scumbag-Flake is one of 11 Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which issues recommendations on judicial nominees before a final confirmation vote. The GOP has a one-vote majority on the panel, making scumbag- Flake’s cooperation essential if Republicans wish to process candidates...

{ washingtonpost.com } ~ The Senate on Wednesday rejected billions in spending cuts proposed by the Trump administration... as two Republicans joined all Democrats in voting no. The 48-50 vote rebuffed a White House plan to claw back some $15 billion in spending previously approved by Congress — a show of fiscal responsibility that was encouraged by conservative lawmakers outraged over a $1.3 trillion spending bill in March. The House had approved the so-called rescissions package earlier this month. But passage had never been assured in the Senate, where a number of Republicans had been cool to the idea from the start. Nevertheless, Wednesday’s outcome was startling because one of the opposing votes came from Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), who does not normally buck the White House or GOP leadership. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a moderate and one of the Republicans who most frequently side with Democrats, cast the other GOP vote against the cuts...

CREATES Act will lower prescription drug costs

{ benefitnews.com } ~ Everyone should be able to get affordable coverage and care. Businesses, insurance providers, doctors, hospitals... and others continue to work on new ways to reverse healthcare cost trends, as we help patients get better faster — and stay healthier longer. Prescription drug costs have been a particular challenge, as they continue to represent the greatest percentage of every healthcare dollar with prices that continue to go up year after year. Passing the Creating and Restoring Equal Access to Equivalent Samples Act would be a big step forward in making prescription drugs more affordable, bringing down premiums and other healthcare costs for businesses and their employees. The CREATES Act addresses several games and tactics that brand-name drug makers often use to keep less expensive generic medications off the market. Today, the Food and Drug Administration requires drug manufacturers to comply with a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) as part of the approval process for new medications. For generic drug makers, the REMS process requires them to get product samples of the brand-name drug so they can conduct comparisons to ensure patient safety, as well as drug efficacy...

America's Welcome Exit From the UN Human Rights Council

by Nate Jackson:  The entire United Nations is a farce perpetrated on the world by global elitists who delight in using American treasure to undermine American sovereignty. Of the many things this feckless world body has done, the so-called Human Rights Council ranks among the worst. As The Wall Street Journal notes, “The Council was created in 2006 after its predecessor, the U.N.‘s Human Rights Commission, was dissolved for failing to deliver on its mandate to protect rights and for allowing countries with abysmal human rights records to become members.” Well, the new HRC (how’s that for a set of initials?) also has numerous members guilty of human rights abuses — Saudi Arabia, Cuba, China and Russia to name a few. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

             President Donald Trump was elected to undo much of Barack liar-nObama’s legacy, and part of that legacy was having liar-Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC, if that wasn’t clear before) sign the U.S. on to participate in this farce after George W. Bush had refused. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and UN Ambassador Nikki Haley announced Tuesday that the U.S. is withdrawing both membership and funding from the HRC. The final straw was the council’s chief calling U.S. border policies concerning families“unconscionable.”
               “The council has failed in its stated objectives,” Pompeo declared, adding that it’s an “exercise in shameless hypocrisy.” Furthermore, he said, “The council’s continued and well-documented bias against Israel is unconscionable.”
               Haley rebuked the “hypocritical and self-serving” organization for defending rights abusers. This “cesspool of political bias,” she said, is particularly guilty of “chronic” and “pathological” bias against Israel. She accused the council of “disproportionate focus and unending hostility toward Israel,” which included its issuing of more resolutions (70) condemning Israel than North Korea, Iran and Syria combined. It’s never passed a resolution condemning abuses in China, Russia, Cuba or Saudi Arabia, but it has regularly recommended “improvement” for the United States.
               “American participation is the last shred of credibility that the council has,” Haley concluded. “That is precisely why we must leave.”
               In effect, the inmates are running the HRC asylum and the Trump administration will no longer indulge that lunacy. It’s about time.   ~The Patriot Pos

{ rickwells.us } ~ Lou Dobbs and Rep Matt Gaetz address what is at the heart of many of the problems in the DC swamp... On the day before an artificial deadline and vote on a major piece of immigration legislation, Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, who claims to have never wanted the job he now refuses to leave, is following the Pulosi model and not allowing members of Congress to even know what is in it. The attitude from the Speaker is “just vote yes” as his owners on K Street demand. Dobbs says, “We have heard all sorts of, in some cases conflicting, stories from those who were at the meeting with the President, the Speaker of the House yesterday. We’re hearing all sorts of stories that could lead us to imagine that neither bill would pass if the vote were taken today, but it’s going to be taken tomorrow.” Gaetz says he’s “deeply frustrated that this legislation has not been reviewed in the committee process, that members of Congress have not had the opportunity to check with people in our communities, to really understand the impact on people’s lives.”...   https://rickwells.us/gaetz-ryan-amnesty-congress/

{ dailysignal.com } ~ A recent Justice Department report on U.S. immigration courts provides a rare glimpse into the difficulties faced by the Trump administration... as it repairs the damages inflicted on these tribunals over the last 20 years. But give credit to the courts’ new executive, James McHenry. Early on, he identified the need for transparency and has made accurate disclosure of court business one of his agency’s highest priorities. Candor, if not reform, demands no less. It’s a good start for an executive whose predecessors often avoided—and sometimes denied—the truth about the courts’ troubling dynamics. Yet the courts limped along, their annual reports masking a systemic dysfunction never shared with Congress. While transparency won’t cure the dysfunction, it should identify obvious areas for reform—among them failures to appear in court...

liar-nObama's Child Detention Photos You Have Not Seen 

zblHEGIMPdo-HLc6NTP-cBhslLItqqNXNs--d3fYzuziWT3NZAaKW2T01ZIxdT5a4fWy5pUmoEi7kyJbbgrYsIFuUq3R-vHX-yR7rPaz1a07UApLrxWpBSTYPM7wXLnMr7Adgy0Wh-Tysrr9dEg4TAxQaDAuozVg7xvTW3Kl3Qs=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450
by Mark Alexander:  In 2014, journalists were given a media tour of two Barack liar-nObama administration detention facilities in Brownsville, Texas, and Nogales, Arizona. During that tour, pool photographers Eric Gay and Ross Franklin documented images of minors in holding facilities.

             One of those photographs was used to create a viral social media firestorm claiming it was “children ripped from the arms of their parents by Donald Trump,” and comparing Trump to Hitler — even though the photo in question was taken when liar-nObama was in charge.
               There were no outrageous claims of “children ripped from the arms of their parents by Barack liar-nObama!
               Clearly, Democrat leaders don’t care about “the children” unless they can be used as fodder to advance their statist political agenda — in this case, establishing open borders to ensure future voters.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., emphasized Tuesday evening that he is willing to work things out with Strzok, but warned that testimony needs to happen by next week. "He has now indicated that he would come voluntarily, but he has not pinned himself down on when.

'Foreign actors' accessed liar-Hillary Clinton 
emails, documents show 
by Catherine Herridge and Adam Shaw
{foxnews.com} ~ “Foreign actors” obtained access to some of former Secretary of State liar-Hillary Clinton’s emails... including at least one email classified as “secret” -- according to a new memo from two GOP-led House committees and an internal FBI email. Fox News obtained the memo prepared by the House Judiciary and Oversight committees, which lays out key interim findings ahead of next week’s hearing with Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz. The IG, separately, is expected to release his highly anticipated report on the liar-Clinton email case later Thursday. The House committees, which conducted a joint probe into decisions made by the DOJ in 2016 and 2017, addressed a range of issues in their memo including liar-Clinton's email security.  “Documents provided to the Committees show foreign actors obtained access to some of Mrs. liar-Clinton’s emails -- including at least one email classified 'Secret,'" the memo says, adding that foreign actors also accessed the private accounts of some liar-Clinton staffers...

The Insane Reason FBI Agents Didn’t 
Search Devices Used By liar-Hillary’s Aides
by Shawn

{ fixthisnation.com } ~ Hidden in the sprawling report delivered by DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz is a stunning detail about the lack of effort... expended by the FBI in their probe of liar-Hillary Clinton’s email fiasco. While agents searched the hard drive hidden in liar-Hillary’s basement and did a thorough search of liar-Clinton’s devices, they did not extend that search to State Department employees working in liar-Hillary’s inner circle. While this seems like one of the first places the FBI would look for mishandled classified information, the agents in charge of the investigation had a very good reason for their neglect. Well, they had A reason, in any case. Horowitz went and asked the agents why they didn’t complete these basic building block of investigative integrity, and the agents were ready with their answer: “The culture of mishandling classified information at the State Department was so entrenched, that it made the quantity of potential sources of evidence particularly vast.” In other words, the “everybody was doing it” excuse. And, well, we’re just the poor, meager, resource-lacking FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIONS. We certainly don’t have the technology and the manpower to look at everyone’s Blackberry! We’ve got movie pirates to catch...   http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/the-insane-reason-fbi-agents-didnt-search-devices-used-by-hillarys-aides/

SCOTUS Leaves Gerrymandering to the States 

IC_R8b4QkbrDGsWJXOCt3j67EyjEkGL4B_bFgTgyEoziCrMnbKt--gL7FQ1bJh44VjzMasVnO7u1ImbyQmqgrXjOG1F7uQf9TTo90gK3_LnFGQl4mRXHodIZXap7Uw1pZjrRgLd71DZb0oyg5i5AZ3lnIUiMIamOAvbV1qSwsr8=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450
by Lewis Morris:  The Supreme Court decided in two cases Monday on partisan gerrymandering to stay out of the political fray, choosing instead to rule against Democrats in Wisconsin and Republicans in Maryland who sued to change their respective state electoral maps.

             In the Wisconsin case, Gill v. Whitford, the Court ruled 9-0 against a group of Democrat voters who claimed that the state’s redistricting plan was an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander.
               Chief Justice John Roberts noted that the alleged dilution of the plaintiff’s voting power is an injury specific to a voting district. “Remedying the individual voter’s harm, therefore, does not necessarily require restructuring of all the state’s legislative districts,” Roberts wrote. The case was sent back to the lower courts for another look.
               Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch objected only in sending the case back for review. “After a year and a half of litigation in the District Court,” Thomas wrote, “the plaintiffs had a more-than-ample opportunity to prove their standing under these principles. They failed to do so.
               In the Maryland case, Benisek v. Lamone, the Court ruled against Republican voters in Maryland who claimed Democrat officials put them at a disadvantage in drawing a congressional district that led to the defeat of Republican Rep. Roscoe Bartlett in 2012. In an unsigned opinion, the Court sided with the district court, which decided not to block Maryland from holding congressional elections and forcing the state to redraw the district in question.
               The Supreme Court added that the plaintiffs waited too long to seek relief, since they did not ask for an injunction until 2017.
               Voting-rights advocates were stunned by the back-to-back decisions. The ACLU, the League of Women Voters, Common Cause and other leftist voter groups had hoped the Supreme Court would pass down specific guidance on how to handle these types of cases. In other words, they were hoping that the justices would legislate from the bench.
               No such luck. The Supreme Court has a solid track record of stepping around gerrymandering cases and avoiding wading into the political quagmire. Districting is a power delegated to the political branches, notes David French of National Review. “States can choose different ways to district,” writes French, “but when a state chooses the political path, the Supreme Court’s default position should be to defer, absent clear and unequivocal constitutional violations.” Claiming that your voting power was diluted because your political party happens to be in the minority in your district or state does not constitute a violation of voting rights.
               Democrats have cried foul about redistricting for much of this decade because Republicans have won control of so many of the levers of power at the state and national level. Of course, Democrats can thank Barack liar-nObama for their plight. His presidency drove millions into the waiting arms of the GOP, which picked up close to 1,000 state seats to give it control of two-thirds of state legislatures, as well as winning Congress by gaining 63 House seats and 10 Senate seats. But it wasn’t just liar-nObama who poisoned Democrat fortunes. Activist judges are primarily responsible for the pickle the Democrat Party finds itself in with redistricting.
               In the 1980s, Democrats redrew congressional districts with the express purpose of putting more blacks and Hispanics in Congress. This effort was clearly aimed to help the Democrat Party because these minority groups vote overwhelmingly Democrat. Districts were remade so that large numbers of minorities would virtually guarantee electing a minority to Congress. However, by grouping minorities into specific districts, other districts inevitably became more nonminority, in some cases overwhelmingly so. The result was that formerly competitive majority-minority districts ended up becoming Republican strongholds with few minority voters.
               Democrats should not be puzzled that their high vote counts have not translated into widespread electoral victory. What is happening now is a consequence of their attempts going back 30 years to game the system in their favor. If Democrats want to fix it, they must look elsewhere, because the Supreme Court has decided, at least for this term, that they are on their own.   ~The Patriot Pos

Farage Urges Trump to Hold Strong 
Against Globalist Immigration Pressure
{ rickwells.us } ~ Nigel Farage understands the problems created by unwise and reckless immigration policies... and appreciates President Trump for his stands against the open borders globalists. He describes the position of Trump on the human shield kids as being, “Look, I’m a parent, I understand the problems. This doesn’t look good.” Farage continues, “He will say we are not retreating one bit on being tough on illegal immigration coming into America but we’re just looking for a more humane solution. And I think with that, the criticism he’s getting from his own side if swamp RINOs can be characterized in that way will cease. I reckon this is the smart thing to do.” On the topic of European forced globalism and open borders, Farage notes that Angela Merkel is in serious jeopardy of losing her position as German Chancellor within the next two weeks if she doesn’t find a fix. He notes, “Merkel has always wanted immigration and asylum policy to be determined at the Brussels European Union level. Increasingly governments in Hungary, Italy and elsewhere are saying we want things done at a national level.”...   https://rickwells.us/farage-trump-strong-immigration/

{ longwarjournal.org } ~ The US-led coalition announced today that four members of the Islamic State’s oil and gas network were targeted and killed during “operations” on May 26... Abu Khattab al-Iraqi, the ringleader of this network, “managed revenue generation through the illicit sale of oil and gas,” according to Combined Joint Force Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR). The “other three men killed, Abu Yusuf al-Hashimi, Abu Hajir Milhim, and Abu Hiba al-Maghrebi, facilitated these operations.” “The death of these Daesh [ISIS] members hinders the terrorist group’s ability to finance operations throughout Iraq and Syria,” CJTF-OIR says. “With the removal of this network, the ability to pay fighters, procure weapons, and maintain equipment will be degraded.” CJTF-OIR indicates that the operation took place in the Middle Euphrates River Valley. The US and its allies have repeatedly targeted Islamic State figures in eastern Syria after the so-called caliphate relocated much of its senior personnel to the area from elsewhere...

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Switzerland has just rejected a proposed law preventing mosques from accepting money from abroad, and compelling them to declare... where their financial backing comes from and for what purpose the money will be used. According to the proposal, imams also would have been obliged to preach in one of the Swiss national languages. While the proposal narrowly passed in the lower house of parliament already in September 2017, the upper house recently rejected it. The proposal was modeled on regulations in Austria, where already in 2015, a law banning foreign funding of religious groups was passed. The Austrian law aims to counter extremism by requiring imams to speak German, prohibiting foreign funding for mosques, imams and Muslim organizations in Austria, and stressing the precedence of Austrian law over Islamic sharia law for Muslims living in the country. The Federal Council, which constitutes the federal government of Switzerland, was also against the proposal, and claimed that it constituted 'discrimination': "We must not discriminate against Muslim communities and imams and put them under general suspicion," Justice Minister Simonetta Sommaruga said. The Federal Council noted that in Austria, Islam is officially recognized, whereas it is not in Switzerland...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/12558/switzerland-islam-radicalization

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ House Republican plans to vote on two GOP immigration bills and a farm bill appeared on the brink of collapsing Wednesday evening... because of persistent disagreements among GOP lawmakers. The Majority Whip, Steve Scalise, R-La., is pushing to delay consideration of the immigration bills because the whip team did not have enough time to twist arms in favor of one of the two bills, authored by Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., that is a compromise between moderate and conservative immigration reform provisions. “Scalise is pushing to delay,” a GOP source told the Washington Examiner. “Speaker and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., were hell bent on this crazy timeline.

Sounding like a simple-minded globalist Democrat who pretends that there are never any consequences for their pie-in-the-sky proclamations, Ryan, flanked by his chosen heir, Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise, stated his position to his comrades in the press. In response to a question at approximately the :27 mark of the video, “pandering Paul” Ryan said, “We don’t think families should be separated, period.” He doesn’t make the point that they’ve created the border crashers have created the situation themselves by bringing their families with them. He simply says, in effect, they’ve brought their families, now let them all stay, and tell them we’ll do the same for all of their friends back home as well. But they have to bring a kid to qualify...   https://rickwells.us/rino-ryan-open-borders-kids/

Dems Cynically Leverage Immigration Crisis

by Thomas Gallatin:  Supposedly, Democrats care so much for the plight of children that they will do anything in their power to help them — so long as it works in furthering their political agenda and election prospects. As we noted Monday, Democrats and their cohorts in the mainstream media have fomented hyperbolic angst over President Donald Trump’s zero-tolerance immigration-enforcement policy, alleging that it is a moral crisis. MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow even went for an Oscar nomination with her pathetic tearful acting job. Democrats point to the children of illegal aliens being temporarily separated from their parents and demand that Trump fix the issue by returning to Barack liar-nObama’s lawless catch-and-release policy. And they are absolutely unwilling to seek any compromise with congressional Republicans on developing a legislative solution.

             “There’s no need for legislation. There’s no need for anything else,” insisted Senate Minority Leader Chuck clown-Schumer (D-NY) at a press conference Tuesday, making it crystal clear that, for Democrats, this is all about the midterm elections. When questioned as to why Democrats were unwilling to work with Republicans on a legislative solution to end the controversial policy of separating children from their parents at the border, clown-Schumer blamed the legislative process itself. “Well, there are so many obstacles to legislation,” he said, “and when the president can do it with his own pen, it makes no sense.” clown-Schumer then revealed his true motivation: “[Republicans] are feeling the heat. Republicans are saying how bad this is. … They are the ones feeling the heat on this issue, and that’s why they’re squirming.” Essentially, he’s saying, Grab the popcorn and watch.
               Meanwhile, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) proposed legislation that would solve nothing and only further incentivize illegal immigration. clown-Schumer obviously realizes that this one-sided bill has no chance with Republicans, thus his comments about eschewing Republicans’ proposed legislative fix. For Democrats, Hot Air’s Allahpundit asserts, “Any compromise would likely require ending catch-and-release for families and that’s the red line for liberals. Child separation is bad. Reducing illegal immigration is really bad.”   ~The Patriot Pos

Andrew McCabe Had a Secret Pipeline 
to the liar-Clinton Investigation

{ patriotnewsdaily.com } ~ According to the DOJ Inspector General’s report, disgraced-and-fired former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was not supposed to have a direct line to the liar-Hillary Clinton email investigation... Protocol at the Bureau demanded several layers of supervisory authority between McCabe and the Operation Midyear investigation, but IG Michael Horowitz found that McCabe…well, he had his ways. And will you even be a little surprised to learn that those ways included FBI lovebirds Lisa Page and Peter Strzok? No, we weren’t either. The report tells us that McCabe used Page, who worked directly for him, as an unofficial liaison between himself and Strzok, the lead investigator on the liar-Clinton case. By doing so, he managed to skip through counterintelligence chief Bill Priestap and national security chief Michael Steinbach, both of whom came between McCabe and Strzok in the chain of command. This, according to Horowitz was not appreciated by others inside the Bureau at the time. “Several witnesses told the OIG that Page circumvented the official chain of command, and that Strzok communicated important Midyear case information to her, and thus to McCabe, without Priestap’s or Steinbach’s knowledge,” reads the report. “McCabe said that he was aware of complaints about Page, and that he valued her ability to ‘spot issues’ and bring them to his attention when others did not.”....
TRUMP STEPS IN: The President Will

{ foxnews.com } ~ President Trump announced his plan to sign an executive order Wednesday that would allow illegal immigrant families to “stay together”... if caught entering the United States; a major step that will prevent future “family separations” at the US-Mexico border. The President announced his decision after speaking with GOP legislators at the US Capitol, saying the “temporary measure” will allow children to remain with their parents at ICE detention facilities across the country. “I’ll be signing something in a little while to keep families together,” he said, calling the move “somewhat preemptive” and stressing it would “be matched by legislation.” “The separations stem from the administration’s ‘zero tolerance’ immigration policy, which aims to prosecute all illegal border crossers.But because of a 1997 order and related decisions, children cannot be detained for longer than 20 days with the adults,” writes Fox News...

{ dailycaller.com } ~ North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows made two startling claims in a House hearing on Tuesday... asserting that there is “growing evidence” that FBI officials altered documentation of witness interviews in the liar-Hillary Clinton and Russia probes. The Republican also revealed the name of an FBI attorney he believes is the bureau employee who was removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation in February after he was found to have sent anti-Trump text messages. Meadows made the revelations in a round of questioning with Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz. On Thursday, Horowitz’s office released a scathing report that documented FBI officials’ mishandling of the liar-Clinton investigation. It also laid out a slew of text messages that FBI officials and attorneys sent criticizing Donald Trump...

{ freedomworks.org } ~ On behalf of FreedomWorks activists nationwide, I urge you to contact your representative and senators and ask them to support the Spending Cuts... to Expired and Unnecessary Programs Act, H.R. 3 and S. 2979, introduced by Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah). This bill would rescind the $15 billion in unobligated budget authorities from previous years that President Trump requested to Congress earlier this week in his proposal to rescind funds as provided for under the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. This tool, commonly referred to as “rescissions,” was established in the 1974 law and had been used every year, by presidents from both parties, from 1974 through 2000. Over the full quarter-century that the tool was consistently used, nearly $76 billion in rescissions have been proposed. The largest package ever requested was by President Ronald Reagan in 1981, totaling to $15.36 billion. Ultimately, Congress approved 71 percent of the amount requested. Although a rescissions request hasn’t been made in over 17 years, the time is more ripe than ever right now for conservatives to throw their weight behind any and every tool available to reduce spending...

{ cnsnews.com } ~ The report on the FBI investigation of liar-Hillary Clinton's email scandal that the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Justice released... last week makes one thing clear: Top FBI officials involved in both that investigation and the Russian collusion investigation have bad memories. Former FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok, for example, told the inspector general, as the IG put it, that "he did not specifically recall" the Aug. 8, 2016 text message he sent to Lisa Page, who was then-special counsel to FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. To put this in context, the IG report states: "Strzok and Page were communicating on their FBI-issued phones as part of an extramarital affair. We found that this relationship was relevant to the frequency and candid nature of the text messages and their use of FBI-issued phones to communicate."...

liar-Hillary Clinton's Hypocritical Biblical Outrage 

2XV-vPAdHywe1M7lwo3d3MhtKs2Y0u7xz9atcVJ6HuW8prtI-oSyqufPaRTiIA8zJiN574qdNKOqUEDx60UEHeSiHvMVQ231lzcHQbYqAsbLEpLwZWPvfJn9cYFZEn6xhGPDmUhcWelK9VhLTiqnz674bjROuwwnNbLp1gzZ0qs=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=300
by Nate Jackson:  With all the ginned up controversy over the Trump administration’s border policies in recent days, you had to know liar-Hillary Clinton would wander back out of the woods to pontificate on the injustice of it all. But first, a little background.

             Attorney General Jeff Sessions defended enforcing immigration law by citing the Bible’s book of Romans. “I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13 to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained them for the purpose of order,” Sessions said. “Orderly and lawful processes are good in themselves and protect the weak and lawful.” Without going into full Biblical exegesis, Sessions was both right and wrong. He was specifically responding to both conservative and liberal evangelical critics of the administration, but we’d prefer for him to leave this Biblical defense for others to make besides the one in power.
               Enter liar-Hillary. “This is not happening because of the ‘Democrats’ law,‘ as the White House has claimed,”liar-Clinton insisted. “Separating families is not mandated by law at all. That is an outright lie. And it is incumbent on all of us, journalists and citizens alike, to call it just that.” Actually, she’s the one lying, as we explained yesterday. In fact, it was her husband’s policy. But liar-Clinton only lies on days that end in “y.
               She wasn’t done. “Nor are these policies rooted in religion,” she lectured. “In fact, those who selectively use the Bible to justify this cruelty are ignoring a central tenet of Christianity. I went to a lot of years of Sunday School — I even taught it from time to time. I’ve studied the Bible, both the Old and the New Testament, and what is being done using the name of religion is contrary to everything I was ever taught. Jesus said, 'Suffer the little children unto me.’ He did not say, ‘Let the children suffer.’”
               That’s rich coming from a rabid pro-abortionist like   liar- Hillary, who has even defended partial-birth abortion — the practice of literally collapsing a partially born baby’s skull to terminate his or her life. But then again, Democrats only care about children when they can exploit them for political gain. That’s true of abortion, gun control, education, welfare programs, immigration and so on.
               While liar-Hillary may throw out a vague Biblical reference to make her point, she and her party have utterly rejected God’s Word, preferring to make government their god. And it is their policies on each of the aforementioned issues that hurt children the most. Welfare and abortion have destroyed families. Education has ruined kids’ minds and indoctrinated them in leftist causes. And open borders and sanctuary cities have invited the flood of illegals across the border — including illegal smugglers who grotesquely exploit children for entry to the U.S. So, again, spare us the outrage.   ~The Patriot Pos

DACA Amensty in Both Ryan Bills 
Despite Americans Telling DC Swamp 'NO'
{ rickwells.us } ~ Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ), a House Freedom Caucus member who puts America and our citizens first... gave Lou Dobbs his perspective on the two amnesty bills that are working their way through the House. He says, “There’s DACA amnesty in each one, and I think they’re going to do a floor vote, I think their goal is to do that probably Thursday.” He says the leadership is whipping both bills and counting to see if there are sufficient votes to approve either one. Biggs observes, “You know the mood, there were a lot of things, we were very happy with the economy, for instance, and the regulatory reform and that, but this one right here, this tough issue right now. It looks like a lot of people have determined that they’re okay with a DACA amnesty.” Lou Dobbs asks Biggs if he’s including a lot of conservatives in that “lot of people” characterization, to which he responds, “I don’t know if there’s a lot of conservatives that have gone over quite that far yet. I think most of us recognize that the number one goal here was to build the wall. I mean, you don’t have the asylum issue today if you have the wall built. You don’t have the drug crisis with opiods if you have a wall built.”...   https://rickwells.us/daca-amensty-bills-dc-swamp/

Just Like the Dead Kid on a Beach in Europe - 
Globalists Use Border Kids to Hard the Sheep
{ rickwells.us } ~ It’s a bit odd that during the same time that President Trump was again sending signals that he was willing to cave on DACA... a time frame that coincides directly with the pledge by House Speaker Paul Ryan to take up two bills on immigration that include legalizing DACA squatters, that Democrats and their media puppets have made such a big deal of the human shields from deportation, the kiddie Kevlar,  the supposed children of illegal invaders at the border. The escalations indicate that the open borders globalists have either badly overplayed their hands or see an opportunity for an even bigger score than a deal on DACA, which they really don’t care about anyway. Their goal is an end of American sovereignty under a globalist UN mantle, which is going to be a long time coming based solely on DACA and the subsequent chain migration. If they create a massive wave of humanity, as they are now in the process of doing, that timetable can be accelerated significantly and it becomes much more difficult to control – especially, they reason, for a President handicapped by Robert Mueller and Rod Rodentstein...   https://rickwells.us/globalists-border-kids-sheep/#prettyPhoto

{ dailycaller.com } ~ The liar-nObama administration prosecuted approximately half a million adults for illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border... between Fiscal year 2010 and Fiscal year 2016, Department of Homeland Security data provided to the Daily Caller reveals.
The prosecutions include both illegal immigrant violators of Title 8 of the U.S. Code 1325 and 1326 used to penalize first time and multiple offenders respectively. The DHS data further shows that the liar-nObama administration referred on average 1 out of 5 adults apprehended at the border for criminal prosecution.Criminal prosecution of illegal immigrants has become a hot button issue in the U.S. with the Trump administration deciding it will prosecute 100% of the people who cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. Current U.S. law dictates that criminal prosecution of adults will result in the separation of family units if they illegally cross together...

The Department of Labor, pursuant to President Donald Trump’s October 2017 executive order, has just published a final rule to enable small businesses to more easily join together and form association health plans. The new rule would apply to sole proprietors, the self-employed, or persons owning their own businesses, allowing them to take advantage of these plan offerings. Authorized under federal law, the rules governing association health plans are the same rules that exist today that enforce consumer protections in large group, or corporate health insurance. Persons with a pre-existing medical condition, for example, cannot be denied coverage, and federally regulated association health plans cannot drop persons from their coverage because they get sick, or charge them higher premiums because they have a pre-existing condition...

Ted Cruz Offers Solution to End Family Separation 

0yMXKpasPS7WbjximwwvLnImTrVbCWg0vkMYU0IRmvncLLTmOuKZ8flH9C3-vRfYlQ6vJkd2FKN-9_7sTREtCLVJrsek_cwxlyXhJox5agLKZJWSlC1wOZ2BLOCoF4getKMOXY3NOXfKSI4SCgelVg95VeO3UU2PNMmtuhVn4fM=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450
by Thomas Gallatin:  As Democrats and the mainstream media continue to whip up the firestorm over President Donald Trump’s zero-tolerance enforcement of immigration law, specifically family separation at the border, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Monday proposed legislation to quickly mitigate the immediate problem.

             Cruz’s bill would end the practice of separating families by authorizing new temporary shelters to house families together until their asylum requests are processed. He also proposes that the number of federal immigration judges be doubled to a total of 750 and that an expedited review and processing of asylum cases within 14 days be implemented. Those families who do not meet the asylum requirements would be immediately returned to their home countries.
               Cruz’s proposal does offer at least a temporary solution to a problem that has been years in the making. It would essentially end the bad optics of separated families, while not returning to the flawed policy of Barack liar-nObama’s “catch and release.” It offers Trump and Republicans a bill that doesn’t compromise the commitment to fighting against illegal immigration and securing the U.S. border, while avoiding the biggest objection for Democrats — funding the border wall.
               Since the implementation of Trump’s zero-tolerance policy in April, almost 2,000 children have been separated from their parents at the border. However, the vast majority of children currently housed in Health and Human Services detention centers — 10,000 of them — are children who illegally crossed the border without their parents. At least some of these children were teens who came here to abort their children. That’s a family separation policy that Democrats don’t care about.
               When Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the zero-tolerance policy, he noted that it was both a return to enforcing our nation’s laws and would serve as a deterrent to others who may consider crossing the border illegally. Ultimately, who is to blame for children being separated from their parents? It is parents who choose to cross the border illegally. In some cases, it’s not parents, but other adults exploiting children for entry. The outrage over Trump’s policy to enforce the law is entirely misplaced. And enforcing the law does appear to be working to deter some from illegally crossing, as CBS News laments that fear has spread along the Mexican border over family separations.
               So while Cruz’s legislative fix might mitigate the immediate ugly optics of enforcing the law, an interesting side effect is that in the long run it may also remove a disincentive for illegal immigration.   ~The Patriot Pos

{ foxnews.com } ~ The Trump administration announced Tuesday it was withdrawing the U.S. from the United Nations Human Rights Council... with U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley calling the 47-member council “a protector of human rights abusers, and a cesspool of political bias.” Haley noted the move came after a year where “we did not see any progress.” Haley threatened the pullout last year, citing longstanding U.S. complaints that the council showed a “chronic bias” against Israel. Calling it "an organization that is not worthy of its name," Haley decried the membership of countries like China, Cuba and Venezuela -- which also have been slammed for human-rights violations. The announcement, though, also came just a day after the U.N. human rights chief denounced the Trump administration for separating migrant children from their parents. “I want to make it crystal clear that this step is not a retreat from our human rights commitments. On the contrary. We take this step because our commitment does not allow us to remain a part of a hypocritical and self-serving organization that makes a mockery of human rights,” she said. “We did not make this decision lightly. When this administration began 17 months ago, we were well aware of the enormous flaws in the Human Rights Council. We could have withdrawn immediately. We did not do that. Instead, we made a good faith effort to resolve the problems.”..   http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/06/19/us-withdraws-from-un-human-rights-council-as-haley-decries-cesspool-political-bias.html

Two FBI agents – Peter Strzok and Lisa Page – famously exchanged plenty of text messages trash-talking Trump and even, at one point, vowing to stop him from ever reaching the White House.

{ thenewamerican.com } ~ Another major scandal is brewing at the disgraced UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization... With former UNESCO boss and longtime Communist Party bigwig Irina Bokova and her communist husband both accused of widespread corruption, the controversial new head of the UN “education” agency — herself a Socialist Party member — gave them both diplomatic immunity. The scheme, which appears designed to protect the communist duo from corruption allegations across multiple jurisdictions, includes a bizarre contract paying Bokova $1 that has drawn intense criticism and caused even more suspicion. But for now, archaic UN “diplomatic immunity” protections are likely to hamper any law-enforcement investigations or potential prosecutions. The New American first became interested in Bokova amid investigations into UNESCO schemes to hijack and weaponize education worldwide. It very quickly became apparent that the longtime member of the Bulgarian Communist Party, which slaughtered hundreds of thousands of innocent people, was hoping to indoctrinate children into the UN-backed ideologies of globalism, humanism, and socialism. “We have the collective duty to empower every child and youth with the right foundations — knowledge, values and skills — to shape the future as responsible global citizens, she declared at a UN summit on education in South Korea, one of many public statements vowing to transform the attitudes and values of children worldwide...

{ nationalreview.com } ~ Despite the sprawl of Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz’s 568-page report on the liar-Clinton-emails investigation... there is precious little discussion of the most important issue: The Justice Department and FBI’s rationale for declining to prosecute liar-Hillary Clinton. I believe this is intentional. The inspector general’s message is: “Despite pervasive political bias and investigative irregularities, which I have comprehensively documented, rest assured that nothing too terrible happened here.” That silver-lining version of this dark spectacle could not have survived a searching analysis of the decision not to indict. In explaining themselves to the IG, liar-nObama Justice Department and FBI officials contended that the make-or-break issue in the case was whether they could prove mens rea — criminal state of mind. In this instance, that involved former secretary of state liar-Clinton’s knowledge and intent regarding the unauthorized transmission and retention of classified information. Investigators say it dawned on them at a very early stage that they could not. Hence, they urge, their decisions to allow the election calendar to impose a time limit on the investigation, to limit the amount of evidence they considered, to be less than aggressive in obtaining evidence, and to draft an exoneration of liar-Clinton months before interviewing her and other key witnesses, were entirely reasonable...

Rep Mark Meadows Drops A 
Few Bombshells At The End of IG Hearing

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Representative Mark Meadows dropped a few bombshells at the very end of almost seven hours of testimony from Inspector General Michael Horowitz... Meadows follows up on numerous rounds of questions challenging the reason why the Inspector General was forced to hide the names of FBI employees within his report..

The IG Report Was a Whitewash 
and Devastating All At Once

{ townhall.com } ~ The FBI has managed to transform its image from Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., into Special Agent Boogaloo Shrimp, and the Inspector General’s report was the bureaucratic self-policing equivalent of Breakin’ Faith 2: Electric Bamboozle.

Here’s the punchline: MC Hammered, who dropped his Glock and shot a dude whilst bustin’ a move, was one of those “top 5% of applicants” that zombie FBI Director Christopher Wray kept babbling about during his excuse conference following the report’s release. But that guy would not have even placed in competition for the title “Worst FBI Agent Ever” against the toadies, flunkies, and hacks the report highlights.

During his spin cycle news conference, Wray spent a surprising amount of time – that is, any time – boasting about the quality of his FBI honors interns. Great. Put one of them in charge. He, she, or knowing the current liberal culture of the FBI xe, can’t do any worse.

Wray’s ruined agency’s best n’ brightest conspired to undo the results of an election to ensure that the liberal politician who wouldn’t derail their gravy train would take office, but hey, a couple hours of diversity classes will fix that right up. I know I feel much better knowing that these bureaucratic superstars are finally going to get some training to inform them that trying to use their power as federal law enforcement agents to swing an election to their preferred political party is wrong. Apparently, that was previously unclear.

The IG report bait n’ switch was just another example of our elite shrugging in the face of indisputable evidence of its own wrongdoing. The bombshells in the IG report could justly be classified as “thermonuclear,” but remember the Comey conference back in July 2016? Its bombshells were thermonuclear too. Integrity Boy laid out an utterly devastating case against Felonia Milhous Von Pansuit, highlighting in damning detail her litany of crimes that would have consigned you, me, or anyone else not in the elite to a long tour in the stony lonesome. And then that Looming Doofus concluded his lengthy summation with, “But never mind.”

The same with the IG report. Yeah, the report demonstrated intense and pervasive political bias. Yeah, at every turn the FBI/DOJ hacks gave unprecedented deference and breaks to Hillary. Yeah, from the get-go they talked about how no one was ever going to be prosecuted. Nah, nothing to see.

It’s like a prosecutor laying out a crushing case to a jury, then saying, “And in conclusion, I’d like you to find the defendant not guilty.”

“No evidence,” concludes the IG report. It’s 500+ pages of evidence.

Let’s try a hypothetical. You are on a jury. My client is a black man claiming racial discrimination by his company. I present you with texts from key leaders in the company – who are still employed in high positions at the company – discussing how they hate black people. I demonstrate that at every single opportunity, the company made choices that hurt my client, just like at every opportunity the FBI and DOJ made choices to help Hillary the Harpy. Then, I show the company fired my client with no evidence of his wrongdoing, just like the FBI exonerated Stumbles O’Drunky with tons of evidence of her wrongdoing. Do you think I presented “no evidence?”

You, as a juror, have a choice – was my client discriminated against?

I, as his lawyer, also have a choice – Ferrari or Lamborghini?

The IG report sidestepped the most critical point, the one that is resulting in the American people losing their last remaining fragments of faith in our system, the fact that there are demonstrably two sets of rules, that there are two brands of justice in America.

There is one for you, me, and everyone else not in the elite – the infuriated, angry Normals. And there is another one for the elite.

I bet if you, me, or anyone else not in the elite were being prosecuted by the feds, the feds would be totally neutral regarding our politics, they would show us deference and give us breaks, and they would resolve from the beginning that we were going to walk. Let’s ask Scooter Libby or Dinesh De Souza or Conrad Black or Mike Flynn about that.

President Trump, you’ve already fixed the injustices suffered by Scooter and Dinesh. Pardon the other two guys. Pardon Conrad Black and General Mike Flynn. Show that this unAmerican, tyrannical garbage is unacceptable by refusing to accept it.

Hell, pardon everyone Robert Mueller and his team of Democrat operatives have ever even talked to. The report’s incoherent conclusion notwithstanding, it shows that this whole process is irredeemably tainted with political bias. Shut it down and let the voters decide if they want to validate injustice or not.

Our country cannot go on like this. The rule of law matters, and the rule of law does not have exceptions that exempt preferred people and groups. We have tolerated this abomination long enough – it has to stop. Either the elite rediscovers its sense of duty and service and stops it, or we will stop it. Donald Trump is our latest attempt to do that. If he is unable to do so, the elite is really going to hate what we try next.

See, they don’t get to win.

Some have taken to calling our political/cultural response to this abandonment of the rule of law “tribalism.” And it is, because tribalism is the only alternative to the rule of law. Some like Jonah Goldberg rightly warn against the tribalist trend, and it is bad, but it sure beats the hell out of being the liberals’ serfs. Others are fussily upset that we choose uniting to protect ourselves over surrender – to them I say, if you Fredocons don’t like tribalism, then help us fix the freakin’ problem instead of trying to shut us up and pretending everything is groovy.

Once again, here are the two, and only two, options:

Rule of law
My tribe – the Normals – wins

Notice how there is no option for “The elite tribe exercises unchallenged dominion over us.” So, choose wisely.

The IG report, simultaneously a devastating indictment of elite misconduct and a total whitewash, is a symptom of the moral leprosy infecting our elite. It is rotting away our institutions, and the foundations of the United States as we knew it. But the elite can’t, or won’t, even admit to itself what we all see.

And this means that means the elite can’t, or won’t, do what is necessary to repair the damage the elite itself has caused our country. No wonder the Normals are getting militant – and if the elite does not wake up to the danger, this country will be torn apart, or even worse.

The funky FBI guy’s breakdance antics were almost funny. But what his incompetence and the IG’s devastating whitewash are is terrifying.

{ americanthinker.com } ~ The IG report is really Comey 2.0. Comey spent a long time describing how liar-Hillary had broken the law but then concluded that it was okay... Similarly, the IG report lists example after example of political bias but declares that it had no impact on the liar-Hillary email whitewash. The IG report on the liar-Clinton email investigation is proof positive that the entire DC justice establishment is corrupt; that they view themselves as rulers not public servants. First we were told that Comey was a straight shooter whom we could trust. Then we were told the same about Mueller, Rosenstein, and now the IG. Yet in every case we’ve discovered that they are biased political actors who put the interests of the Deep State and the Democratic Party ahead of their sworn duty to uphold the law. It’s time for all conservatives to acknowledge that there are few if any honest people at the top levels of the FBI or the DoJ. Not surprisingly highly biased people will resort to big lies to protect their power and the big government ideology they embrace...   https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/06/the_ig_report_theyre_guilty_but_its_okay.html

{ dailysignal.com } ~ The Trump administration is taking heat from Democrats and Republicans for separating parents and children after they illegally crossed the southern border... Over the six weeks from April 19 through May 31, federal officials separated about 2,000 children from their families at the U.S.-Mexican border, the Associated Press reported last week. President Donald Trump blamed the procedure on Democrats in Congress. “They’re obstructing.

The Future of American Zionism
by Daniel Greenfield 


{ sultanknish.blogspot.com } ~ President Trump boldly moved the embassy to Jerusalem. And a poll shows a nearly even split among American Jews opposing and supporting it, while 85% of Israeli Jews back the courageous decision. 

77% of Israelis back Trump's handling of US-Israel relations while 57% of American Jews disapprove. 

How can the vast majority of Israelis be happy with the relationship while the majority of American Jews aren’t? The answer gets at the heart of the split between what American and Israeli Jews want from Israel. And also to the root of a deeper split within the Zionist tree. 

Modern Zionism is split between positive aspirational Zionism and negative respectability Zionism. 

Positive Zionism was the movement of a cultural, religious and national minority to reclaim an independent identity and unleash the potential of the Jewish people. Negative Zionism was a reaction to anti-Semitism. And then, when Zionism became safe, it became a trophy of communal respectability. 

Now that Zionism is no longer safe or respectable, the trophy is in the communal dumpster. 

Positive Zionists are self-directed, but negative Zionists are other-oriented. Their Zionism is only another bid for approval from the same people and political movements whose rejection made them Zionists. 

The Israeli left began as a series of movements that embraced Zionism because the Communists and other Socialists had made it painfully clear that there was no room for an independent Jewish socialist movement in what would become the USSR. So they launched their Socialist experiments in Israel while slavishly worshiping Stalin. Some were even willing to launch a revolution in Israel for Uncle Joe. 

And that’s why the Israeli left has been going electorally extinct for a generation. 

Most Israelis don’t care what the Socialist International thinks of them. The most other-directed Israelis are usually the ones who already spend more time in Paris, London and Los Angeles than in Jerusalem. The average Israeli is a positive Zionist who doesn’t even think about it. He just lives a Zionist reality. 

Negative Zionists dominate diaspora organizations. But those organizations value respectability more than Israel. They want to be proud of Israel because they’re ashamed of being Jewish. And they are pathetically vulnerable to the anti-Israel lobby’s weaponization of Jewish shame. Air strikes on Gaza, New York Times editorials and protests by anti-Israel hate groups deprive them of their respectability. 

Modern Zionism began as the battle cry of an oppressed minority. But then it became respectable. The communal leaders and organizations that once despised it used its bright gleam to add a little luster to their wardrobe. And then toss it overboard the moment that it detracts from their respectability. 

That is who tends to speak for American Jews. These are the unelected leaders who deliver ultimatums to the Prime Minister of Israel. They wring their hands over Gaza and assent to the Iran nuke sellout. 

When push comes to shove, they will always do the respectable thing. Not the Zionist thing. 

The Zionism of respectability is about being able to read the New York Times and feeling good instead of feeling ashamed. Many American Jews are easily shamed. But Israeli Jews are almost impossible to shame. Unlike Jews abroad, they’re not a minority group constantly looking around for approval. 

Zionism without chutzpah is unsustainable. 

The future of American Zionism is to be found among Jews who don’t care about respectability. They’re either from insular religious communities or have the same tough Queens attitude as Trump. 

Those are also the Jews most likely to support Trump. 

The anti-Israel lobby weaponizes Jewish insecurity. Its activists and reporters exploit Jewish shame. Its politicians openly employ dual loyalty language and dog whistles. And its spinmeisters package appeasement as respectability. Even if that respectability comes at the cost of the destruction of Israel. 

The peace process, which has killed and crippled thousands of Israelis, created two terror states inside Israel, and put Jerusalem and Tel Aviv under fire for the first time in a generation, is respectable. The Iran deal was respectable. Suspending it wasn’t. Blockading Hamas is shameful. Opening the border with Gaza is respectable. No matter how many Jews die. Being critical of Israel is respectable. Supporting it is tribal, narrow-minded and disreputable. And they don’t want to be seen as any of those three. 

Those American Jews who continue to support Israel will be immune to media shaming. They won’t look for mainstream respectability. Instead they will become more Zionist because it is disreputable. 

Trump’s support for Israel is bad for its respectability. Respectable Jews would rather not have the embassy moved at all if Trump had to be the one to do it. They are critical of everything that Trump does because that’s the respectable thing to do. When they worry about being suspected of dual loyalty, they don’t mean to America and Israel, but to the progressive cause and to the Zionist reality. 

As long as the left controls the cultural high ground, it gets to define respectability. And so respectability invariably becomes an echo of its views. Only those who defy that echo chamber will remain pro-Israel. 

Many pro-Israel groups claim to be working very hard to escape this trap. But there is no escape. 

The left’s anti-Zionism is over a century old. Within the left, pro-Israel positions are usually found among moderates. The uncontrolled leftward turn of what used to be liberalism makes its anti-Zionism inevitable. Any correction would require reversing that leftward turn, not attempting to befriend it as the ADL and other groups have been futilely trying to do. And such a correction is not currently realistic. 

Negative Zionists will have to experience anti-Semitism personally before they’re likely to turn. And they won’t make that adjustment over Israel. But the day will come when the left takes away their respectability even if they denounce Israel and subscribe to the New York Times. As Corbyn and the UK Labour Party show, anti-Zionism as a movement is just anti-Semitism wearing a funny hat. The two are joined at the hip. Where you’ll find one, you’ll soon find the other dooming Jewish respectability politics. 

Israeli Jews have a more uncomplicated view of reality. Anyone who hates them, hates them. It’s American Jewish groups who wonder whether they are hated abstractly, personally, politically, religiously, nationally or culturally. And then they figure out that it’s usually all the above. 

Defying bigotry in any age requires courage. That’s how Zionism was born. 

Zionism was never a solution for those too timid to defy convention. It is not the pathway to respectability. That brief moment passed decades ago. It probably won’t come back. 

In the decades to come, Israel will have to make some hard decisions. And the American Jewish organizations trying to balance the impossible demands of respectability and Zionism won’t like them. But as the moderate Democrat goes extinct, the constituency for negative Zionism will fade away. 

Positive Zionism however will remain. 

American Jews remain split between respectability politics and aspirational politics. But the future belongs to those American Jews for whom Zionism is not a source of social approval, but defiant pride. In the near future, American Zionism will cease to mean rubber chicken dinners and mindless clichés. Instead, as it already has in France, it will once again become the battle cry of an oppressed minority. 

Those American Jews who have the courage to be Zionists will also be bold enough to stop being Democrats, to turn off NPR, unsubscribe from the New York Times and thumb their noses at society. 

Negative Zionism thrived when it was safe to be a Zionist. It will soon be as unsafe to be a Zionist anywhere as it already is on college campuses. And then Zionism will mean something again.

House Joint Committee Hearing With IG Michael Horowitz
by sundance

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ A joint committee from House Oversight and House Judiciary are conducting a hearing today at 10:00am EDT with DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz... Unlike the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing yesterday the House team has representatives far more knowledgeable of the issues. Hopefully, expertise will deliver better questions. Members to watch: Jim Jordan, Trey Gowdy, Ron DeSantis, Mark Meadows, Louie Gohmert, John Ratcliffe, Matt Gaetz, Andy Biggs and Steve King. Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte has direct primary oversight authority over the DOJ. Chairman Trey Gowdy comes from the aggregate Oversight/Reform Committee. Far more House members have read the 568-page IG report. Due to a better informed group of members we are more optimistic for detailed, specific, confrontational and challenging questions to draw out the key issues. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.   https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/06/19/house-joint-committee-hearing-with-ig-michael-horowitz-1000am-livestream/.

{ realcleardefense.com } ~ The recent skirmishes between Israel and Iranian forces in Syria raise important questions about the “rules of the game,” interests, and red lines of the primary players... Israel claims there can be no arrangement in Syria that allows Iran and Hezbollah forces to remain on Syrian soil, and that includes Shiite militias. The Israelis also insist Syria cannot be a transshipment point for advanced, game-changing weapons, especially Precision Guided Munitions (PMGs) en route to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Terrorist threats on Israel’s borders will not be tolerated. Of course, Israel realizes the important role Russia plays in Syria and the country’s significant influence with the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. As such, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has invested considerable time and effort to convince Russian President Vladimir Putin and his advisors that it is in Russia’s national interest to ensure that the Iranian access abides by Israel’s red lines. After the latest meetings between Israelis and Russians held at military, executive and working levels, Russian statements suggest these efforts are beginning to bear fruit. The Russians are apparently beginning to understand that Iran’s presence in Syria is a liability – particularly if Israel continues to keep its “red lines,” including according to foreign sources airstrikes against Iranian assets in the heart of this important Russian sphere of influence...

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Republican lawmakers in the House and Senate are suddenly pushing for a quick legislative fix to end the practice of separating parents from children... when they cross illegally into the country, outside of efforts to pass a broader bill that could stall in the Senate. The new effort comes after several days of growing public pressure on lawmakers to change the law so the Trump administration can continue to prosecute illegal immigrants, but without the controversial practice of holding the children of these immigrants in separate facilities. "The consensus is we want to do something now," said Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis. "The sooner the better."...   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress/republicans-look-for-quick-fix-to-end-family-separations-at-the-border?utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_06/19/2018&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief

Post-Ramadan Reflections on the Muslim World

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ As Ramadan drew to a close this year, the spectacle of a contrived Muslim rage on the last Friday of Islam's sacred month... branded "Al- Qud's Jerusalem Day" by Iran's late leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini – was on display across the Muslim world and in the West. The Qur'an, Islam's sacred text, calls upon Muslims to fast during Ramadan as part of prayers and quiet reflection "toward off evil." Extremist Muslims, instead, call upon their co-religionists to display their rage against their real and imagined enemies, especially Jews. Most Muslims, however, steer away from such angry demonstrations, which degrade the meaning and purpose of their devotion to fasting and prayers during the month in which the Qur'an was first revealed to Muhammad. The public display of rage on the last Friday of Ramadan, which has now become a ritual since Khomeini called for it soon after the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, is another vivid indicator of how deeply and fatefully divided within itself is the Muslim world. The causes dividing the Muslim world are many, given the vast diversity among Muslims of ethnicity, language, culture, resources, levels of literacy and economic development....

Bush Leads Rally For Trump

{ trumptrainnews.com } ~ George P. Bush the son of 'low energy' Jeb led a rousing rally for President Trump on Saturday. George is the only member of Bush dynasty to openly support the president... George P. Bush, son of Trump's former presidential candidate rival Jeb Bush, has voiced his support for the current president yet again in a rousing speech at the Texas Republican convention earlier today. As noted by Todd Gillman of the Dallas News, George P. rallied the Texas GOP by declaring. "Are we gonna stand up for President Donald J. Trump. Are we going to reject the fake news and the liberal media? … Yes we are." Bush is a formidable politician in the Lone Star state. He currently holds the position of Texas Land Commissioner. But, he has fallen under controversy and accused of corruption because "after he took office in 2015, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas were removed from overseeing the Alamo and replaced by nonprofits that Bush's General Land Office controls," according to the Dallas News...   http://trumptrainnews.com/articles/bush-leads-rally-for-trump.

liar-nObama's silky lie and FBI bias 
in the liar-Clinton investigation

by John Kass
{ jewishworldreview.com } ~ Of all the silky lies being told in Washington over the findings of the FBI's inspector general on the biased culture of those investigating liar-Hillary Clinton's email server, one lie seems to be ignored:

It's the silky lie told by then-President Barack liar-nObama.

It may have set the tone for the smarmy intrigue detailed in the FBI inspector general's damning 500-page report on the investigation of liar-Hillary Clinton's email scandal.

And Washington is revealed once again as our modern Versailles, a place of courtiers and lickspittles who'd use the Ministry of Justice to serve their ambitions.

liar-nObama told his silky lie when his chosen successor was liar-Hillary Clinton.

liar-Clinton had endangered top-secret information by using an unsecured, home-brew email server when she was U.S. secretary of state. Any other American who dared risk top government secrets on a basement server would have faced federal prosecution and prison.

liar-nObama's lie was told in 2015, when liar-nObama was asked by Bill Plante of CBS when he learned liar-Clinton had used an unsecured email server.

"The same time everybody else learned it, through news reports," liar-nObama said. He was so silky that you couldn't even hear his tongue rustling along his teeth.

He waxed on about how his administration was all about "transparency."

But liar-nObama did not learn about liar-Clinton's home-brew server like "everybody else."

According to the inspector general's report, liar-nObama was in fact one of 13 top government officials communicating with liar-Clinton on her private email server, even as liar-Clinton's server was targeted by foreign intelligence services.

According to the IG report, before former and fired FBI Director James Comey took it upon himself to publicly criticize liar-Clinton and exonerate her from a criminal charge, a draft of his public address was heavily edited.

It was edited for liar-Hillary Clinton's benefit, to buttress the case that what she did wasn't prosecutable.

But Comey's comments were also edited to protect someone else. The IG report discusses a key paragraph in Comey's statement summarizing the FBI's thinking that "hostile actors" had accessed liar-Clinton's server.

The paragraph, the report said, "referenced liar-Clinton's use of her private email for an exchange with then President liar-nObama while in the territory of a foreign adversary. This reference was later changed to 'another senior government official,' and ultimately was omitted."

liar-nObama cut his political teeth in Chicago. And Chicago Democrats are asking taxpayers to help build a great Temple of Love and Fealty to honor that "senior government official."

And they'll honor him by name.

Just chew on this apiece: How could liar-Hillary Clinton ever be prosecuted without implicating liar-nObama, who emailed her using a pseudonym?

liar-nObama might have been portrayed as a victim of her use of a private server. She used that server to hide her dealings with the controversial liar-Clinton Foundation from congressional inquiry. She should have been prosecuted.

But then, two things would have happened.

Her campaign would have fallen apart immediately, and along with it, liar-nObama's legacy.

The liar-nObama White House, the senior pro- liar-nObama bosses of the FBI and just about all the political suits thought liar-Clinton would be our next president.

And who wants to anger the next ruler? Careers were at stake, promotions, perks, power, just as it was back in the day, in old Versailles.

You should read the report for yourself. Ignore the spin that there was no bias found at liar-nObama's DOJ and FBI.

It crawls with bias. Deals were cut. Then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch met on the tarmac with liar-Bill Clinton. liar-Hillary Clinton was shielded from a federal grand jury. Witnesses were allowed to sit with her during questioning. Comey had already decided to clear her before the investigation was complete.

Pro- liar-Clinton FBI investigator Peter Strzok was warned by his lover, pro- liar-Clinton FBI lawyer Lisa Page, that since liar-Clinton would surely win, it wouldn't be wise to anger the new boss.

When Page panicked, worrying that Trump might actually win the White House in 2016, Strzok told her not to worry.

"No. No, he won't," Strzok texted her on an FBI phone. "We'll stop it."

By then, he was helping lead a new FBI investigation, the one investigating Trump for possible collusion with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

Special counsel Robert Mueller, to his credit, dumped Strzok from the probe when Strzok's anti-Trump passions became clear. But the Mueller probe has been damaged by the IG report.

The Mueller investigation should continue. So should the congressional inquiry into the DOJ and FBI. Americans need sunshine on all of this.

But one thing should be understood here: The liar-Clinton investigation went wrong when it was taken away from capable field agents and handed to the political suits and intriguers. Bias is their coin. Comey was their boss. His reputation has been hurt by the report.

And Trump, vulgar and boastful, was overjoyed to see Comey, a likely witness against him, take such a big public hit.

Trump is no angel. He's famous for lies. Mueller may indeed be closing in with the Friday jailing of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, who's accused of witness tampering.

But Trump's lies are obvious and blustery, like those told by a bad carny hustler.

Trump is no liar-nObama.

liar-nObama was the silky one.

And the silky ones prosper, in Washington, and as they did for a time, at Versailles.

Sen Graham Grills IG, FBI Director 
Over Abuse of Power, Letting liar-Clinton Off
{ ickwells.us } ~ For an organization that exists to prosecute and convict criminals, the leadership... Wray and Horowitz in this particular instance, are remarkably timid when it comes to even stating probable guilt, particularly when it involves liar-Hillary Clinton or the corrupt FBI agents and others in DOJ protecting her. Senator Lindsey Graham began his questioning of IG Michael Horowitz by asking whether or not he thought it was “clear to everybody in the country by July 5th 2016 that Donald Trump was the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party?” They agree that it was, with the convention less than two weeks later and the text messages reflective of it as well. He reads a notorious August 8th text exchange in which Page asks Strzok, “Trump’s not ever going to become President, right, right?” and to which Strzok responded, “No, no, he’s not. We’ll stop it.” Graham then verifies with Horowitz that Strzok was the lead investigator on the liar-Clinton email ‘investigation,’ noting, “Ok, so the head guy, looking at liar-Clinton on August the 8th says ‘we’ve got to stop Trump.'”...   https://rickwells.us/graham-grills-ig-fbi-clinton/

{ foxnews.com } ~ Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz confirmed Tuesday that he is investigating... whether FBI official Peter Strzok’s anti-Trump bias factored into the launch of the bureau’s Russia probe. During a joint hearing before the House Oversight and Judiciary committees, Horowitz testified that his office was reviewing Strzok’s anti-Trump text messages as part of a separate probe related to the Russia investigation. “It clearly shows a biased state of mind,” Horowitz said, referring to text messages written as the FBI probe of liar-Hillary Clinton's private email use was wrapping up and the Russia probe was getting underway. The most infamous text, revealed in last week's IG report on the liar-Clinton email case, showed Strzok responding "We'll stop it" when his colleague and lover Lisa Page sought assurances that Trump would not become president...How about criminal charges against liar-Hillary and others.

Beijing Is Holding U.S. Citizens ‘Hostage’ in China

Chinese authorities typically target U.S. citizens of Chinese heritage for exit bans, usually in connection with an investigation. Sometimes, Beijing uses American citizens to try to coerce family members residing in the United States to return to China or to cooperate with Chinese authorities in investigations...

Teaching Cultural Degradation to Children 

bYJ8hlSE5F3lMBjpAy47Pw6P6rAZV24RlsjSFa2YjNmeV04swC-EnKNkiTl307iSEkSRB8pTL5xNy1FkdI24oA3Aa_4rm8eULZ6eXE6WU_8r3RRKnian8Y1Q81FxENg_FSJ9X_6MrdJ20pDDRtUfpG59Z3BJ6Nehjoip=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450
by Arnold Ahlert:  In California, sex education must align itself with progressive dogma — or else.

             The Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD) is conducting an investigation after what Fox News Sacramento  called an “anti-abortion” video was included as part of a sex-education lecture at Sutter Middle School. What the series of videos actually depicted was animations of how abortions are carried out during various stages of pregnancy. They were  presented by a pro-life organization called Live Action, and narrated by Dr. Anthony Levatino, a former abortionist turned pro-life activist.
               During the presentation, Levantino urges viewers to “protect the pre-born.”
               SCUSD spokesman Alex Barrios insisted the videos are “completely inappropriate for the classroom” and fail to “meet the district’s approved family life and sexuality curriculum.
               What curriculum? “California state law, the California Healthy Youth Act, requires that comprehensive sexual health education and HIV prevention education be provided to students at least once in middle school and once in high school, starting in 7th grade,” the district’s website states. “Instruction must encourage students to communicate with parents, guardians or other trusted adults about human sexuality.
               The instruction encouraging students to communicate with parents, guardians or other trusted adults about human sexuality is a bit rich when one considers that California is a state where children under the age of 18 who want an abortion are under no legal obligation to seek their parents’ permission to get it. In fact, they don’t even have to let their parents know they are having what amounts to a surgical procedure.
               One is hard-pressed to think of a single other surgical procedure a minor can have without parental consent or notification.
               Unfortunately, such twisted ideological priorities should surprise no one. Few things upset leftists who champion the “right to choose” — along with the right to usurp parental guidance and authority — more than the notion that one should be making an informed choice about terminating a pregnancy. Thus, any video that shows students exactly how abortions are performed is off limits.
               Why? It might have something to do with a four-minute-long video released by Levantino in 2016 that went viral. “One-third of women who said they hold ‘pro-choice’ views on abortion had a more negative view of abortion after watching even part of the video, and nearly as many called for abortion to be more strictly regulated,” reportedLife Site News. More compelling? “Even more pro-choice women, 46 percent, felt the videos should be shown in high school sex education classes,” it added.
               “We all know that the subject of abortion is sensitive, complex and controversial, and I personally don’t think it belongs as a topic to go into in any depth in a seventh-grade class,” said a parent of one student who viewed the video. The parent further bemoaned the fact that what the children saw “cannot be unseen.”
               It would be illuminating to know what this parent and others think of that same seventh-grade curriculum including a lesson entitled “Blue is for Boys, Pink is for Girls.” It is a lesson that “engages students in a discussion surrounding gender stereotypes and their origin,” and “connections around non-heterosexual orientations.” It’s followed by a lesson called “Sexual Orientation, Behavior and Gender Identity” that discusses “different types of sexual orientation and distinguishes between orientation, behavior and identity.”
               In short, while the pro-life agenda is anathema, the LGBT agenda is an integral part of the curriculum.
               And these are the “older” students. California is poised to launch a sex-ed program that makes an utter mockery of the indignation surrounding anti-abortion videos. As part of the state’s “Welcoming Schools” agenda, suggested reading for students at grade levels kindergarten through fifth grade will include “I AM JAZZ: READING A CHILDREN’S BOOK TO HELP UNDERSTAND TRANSGENDER TOPICS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.” It will be accompanied by another publication entitled “Sexual Health Guide,” subtitled “An Adolescent Provider Toolkit.”
               That toolkit describes topics such as “anal intercourse,” “phone sex,” and other “common sexual behaviors.”
               During a May 29 meeting at San Diego Unified School District’s offices, dozens of parents chanting “too much, too soon,” and “protect our kids,” made it clear to school officials — for the third time in two years — they were less than enchanted with the district’s Sexual Health Education Program (SHEP). “It’s not about sex education, it’s not about biological science, it’s about promulgating and pushing a world view upon them,” one parent rightly told the board, adding that “gender confusion, gender dysphoria is what you’re trying to promote.
               District officials insisted the curriculum was in compliance with the new California Healthy Youth Act and state mandates. Dean Broyles, an attorney with the National Center for the Law and Policy, disagrees, asserting, “There are only recommended curriculum, there are no mandated curriculum under the California Healthy Youth Act because it’s too new and a framework has not even been developed yet.
               In stark contrast, the abortion videos are a bridge too far and spokesman Barrios promises the district “will address this matter with the seriousness it demands.” That would be the same district that gives children access to graphic cartoons  featuring characters named “Julie Melons” and “Miles Long,” naked in bed together. Seriously.
               Jenny Thomas is the science teacher who presented the videos. It’s her job to teach students about family life and human sexuality. She has apologized for the presentation.
               California public schools are hardly outliers in pushing the progressive sexual agenda. At UC Santa Barbara, a student-operated sex information website addresses a variety of topics, including “Childhood Sexuality,” and “Talking To Your Child About Sex.” The former focuses on prepubescent children and urges parents to “keep their reactions to children’s consensual sexual activity and play positive.” Even when children are “touching each others genitals” parents should remain sanguine because “children are just exploring.” The latter topic in part urges parents to teach their children that watching pornography “is a normal habit, and that they do not need to be ashamed of it,” provided it is viewed in moderation.
               Enough. America needs congressional hearings on the state of public school education, and one of the primary topics that must be addressed is why, in the overwhelming majority of cases, promoting progressive dogma is the default agenda.
               In California, it’s a sexual agenda epitomized by the  website “CALIFORNIA MINOR CONSENT AND CONFIDENTIALITY LAWS,” which details just how extensive the usurpation of parental rights has become in the Golden State. By law, the “health care provider is not permitted to inform a parent or legal guardian without the minor’s consent” — with regard to pregnancy, abortion, STDs and rape services for minors 12 years of age and older.
               What undergirds this usurpation is a lowest-common-denominator presumption that a parent or guardian might be the child’s impregnator, disease transmitter or rapist. That presumption alludes to the greater discussion of cultural degradation — which alludes to the anything-goes “morality” that constitutes an integral part of the progressive agenda that contributed mightily to that degradation.
               The same progressive agenda promulgated in public schools where a pro-life video warrants an investigation. Go figure.   ~The Patriot Pos

Carlson - Truth About Democrat Sideshow 
Over Illegal Kids at the Border
{ rickwells.us } ~ Tucker Carlson is right on in identifying the pathetic exhibition Democrats have created out of our border enforcement... It’s by design, in an assault begun by Senator Kamala “Commiela” Harris in mid-May hearings when she badgered and attempted unsuccessfully to intimidate and malign Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. Carlson notes the attacks have devolved to the point where “The spectacle of illegal immigrants squatting invaders separated from their children at the border has ceased to be a news story in any traditional sense of the term. It is now an event, a kind of competition in which elites vie to see who can reach greater heights of rhetorical excess and self-righteous posturing. It is performance art, really.” Carlson continues, “Nancy Pulosi and even liar-Hillary Clinton took an early lead in the contest by bypassing public policy questions entirely and moving straight to theology. Here are part of their sermons, watch.” He plays a clip of the hideous hypocrites using the Bible to politic, and then observes, “So the same people who support third-term, post-viability abortion for purposes of sex selection are now lecturing you about God and sin and the holiness of children.”...   https://rickwells.us/carlson-democrat-sideshow-border/

{ freebeacon.com } ~ The United States is calling on Russia to immediately release more than 150 individuals who human-rights groups have identified as unjustly imprisoned for their political or religious beliefs... The Trump administration added its voice to a growing chorus of international human-rights activists pressing Moscow to release the prisoners while Russia is hosting the World Cup. The State Department on Monday expressed "deep concern" that the Russian government has stepped up a Soviet-era practice of jailing dissidents and religious minorities, including Ukrainian filmmaker Oleh Sentsov and human rights activist Oyub Titiyev. "We continue to raise these cases with the Russian government and press Russia to honor its international commitments, end this persecution and release these political prisoners," a State Department official told reporters Monday...   http://freebeacon.com/issues/amidst-world-cup-u-s-calls-on-russia-to-release-political-religious-prisoners/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=089a6ffb98-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_06_18_09_10_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-089a6ffb98-45611665

Rob Reiner Trashes Robert De Niro’s 
Vulgar Anti-Trump Meltdowns

{ lifezette.com } ~ Director Rob Reiner is no fan of President Donald Trump. The “Stand by Me” and “Misery” filmmaker has been a consistent critic of the commander-in-chief... and he’s blown the Russia conspiracy theory horns plenty of times. Reiner has never, though, engaged in the sort of vulgar, borderline deranged rants of anti-Trumpers like Robert De Niro. He revealed in a recent interview with The Hill’s “Rising” that he is no fan of such tirades despite his feelings toward the president. “You’re helping Trump by saying, ‘f*** Trump,’ because he can say, ‘Look at these people, these elitists,'” Reiner said in reference to De Niro’s anti-Trump meltdown at the Tony Awards. He added, "There's a very fine line between energizing the base and energizing the other side."...   https://www.lifezette.com/popzette/rob-reiner-trashes-robert-de-niros-vulgar-anti-trump-meltdowns/?utm_medium=email

How to Verify North Korean Denuclearization 
d9YVlBeD_KpJM9PvUbXNRVgVq3zynKw8khG34jozj4kvWSfmV-iO8U5gCD2mJya0R_sFVF2AhVtyPElh7-mcUznZJsLLUv-hQSIxL9bgwGTaArF0hfN0dWYipFYm-k7n2AVpEl01nbedL2mdnBcxR00WoXPwyAaQN3TC5regEm8=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450
by National Security Desk:  As we noted last week when discussing President Donald Trump’s real strategy with North Korea, the big question following the Singapore summit will be verifying denuclearization. Recent history suggests this will be extraordinarily difficult.

             First, there will be a constant struggle to get a brutal dictator to act openly and honestly in allowing inspectors to verify he has no ongoing nuclear program. The best case study of this problem is the decadelong effort of various UN-mandated inspection teams to gain access into Saddam Hussein’s covert facilities. From 1992 through 2003, Saddam played a shell game with inspectors trying to verify his regime had no nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. He refused access to various facilities, tried to sanitize facilities that might have had evidence of such weapons work, moved materials and equipment from one facility to another (or out of the country altogether), denied inspectors’ access to Iraqi scientists, and generally threw up every possible roadblock he could to make the inspectors’ work more difficult.
               Saddam’s goal was simply to outlast the resolve of the UN and eventually get sanctions dropped and the inspections ended. He was assisted in his efforts by useful idiots, including within the UN, who accepted at face value the claims that a half-million Iraqi children had died as the result of sanctions, a claim later shown to be “a spectacular lie.” Saddam had come close to getting sanctions dropped by early 2001, and if the 9/11 attacks had not happened, he might well have outlasted the UN and had all sanctions and inspections stopped.
               North Korea under the Kim-family regime is perfectly situated to play the same game. Kim Jong-un’s security forces are defiantly hostile to the United States and will undoubtedly attempt to deny access, intimidate inspectors, hide evidence, prevent access to scientists, and generally drag their feet. Even more so than most dictatorships, the Kim regime cannot tolerate losing face by accepting any and all requests for access to facilities or scientists. The humanitarian plight of the North Korean population is well known, and Kim will undoubtedly try to play on Western sensibilities to suggest his people would be able to eat if only the West would give North Korea a clean bill of health. Lastly, Kim and his advisers doubtless know that President Trump will not be in office forever, and a future president may be much easier to work with. Outlasting the resolve of the UN will be Kim’s primary goal.
               A second problem will be identifying how many facilities North Korea has and assessing the role of each one in Kim’s nuclear program. The best case study of this problem is the ongoing effort to verify that Iran’s nuclear program is purely peaceful, an effort currently at 15 years and counting. If it was not for information provided by an Iranian dissident group in 2003, for example, the existence of an underground enrichment site at Natanz might never have been known. As recently as 2015, the same group provided evidence of additional sites near Tehran that were previously unknown. It is no coincidence that both facilities are deep underground. Iran has invested heavily in deep tunneling capability since the early 1990s in order to hide and harden both military and scientific facilities. Many of these facilities are known to Western intelligence services, but there are doubtless others whose existence is unknown.
               North Korea has spent more than 60 years digging hundreds of miles of tunnels under its mountainous terrain, and it is unlikely more than a fraction of them are known to Western intelligence services. Satellite imagery cannot see what lies beneath the surface, and no nation on earth is more closed to human intel collection than is the well-named Hermit Kingdom. There is no North Korean dissident group outside the country that can provide information the way the Iranian dissident group could. In the absence of a comprehensive list of North Korean facilities, we will never know what portion of Kim’s program has even been identified, let alone inspected.
               The Chinese will be crucial in addressing these two problems. No other nation has the kind of protective relationship with North Korea that China has, underscored by Kim’s recent trip to consult with Beijing. Yet China’s communist government is reflexively anti-U.S. and has taken every opportunity to prop up and even partner with nations around the world that are adversaries of the United States. China has long provided arms to Iran, for example, and has several massive energy deals with Tehran for developing and improving Iran’s oil and gas production.
               In addition, China has all-important veto power at the UN, so any approach to North Korea will have to be tolerable to China (and to Russia, which is another headache entirely). The Chinese have historically been more eager to use North Korea as a bargaining chip, and changing their minds will not be easy. President Trump’s recent decision to instigate a trade war with China is aimed at exactly this problem. Whether that’s the right strategy is open for debate. But if the attempt to denuclearize North Korea is to have any chance of success, it will have to have Chinese buy-in. Whether that buy-in will be achieved cooperatively or coercively is the question.
               Long story short, it’s one thing to have a summit; it’s another entirely to verify the agreed-upon terms.
