Congressman Calls For Mueller
To Recuse Himself From Witch Hunt
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Arizona Republican Rep Andy Biggs is starting the New Year off right... with an op-ed he authored and posted on USA Today on Wednesday. In it Biggs called for special witch hunter Robert Mueller to recuse himself from the phony investigation. Biggs noted that Mueller’s investigation has gone “far beyond the scope of his original charge” and that, “Unfortunately, taxpayer resources are being used to scrutinize anyone and anything that fits into a preconceived notion that Russia colluded with the Trump campaign to ‘fix the election.'” He declared “Mueller has demonstrated he is incapable of leading a focused, unbiased review of his initial assignment. His witch hunt must end.”... https://rickwells.us/congressman-mueller-recuse/.
Robert Mueller Prosecutor Is Caught Bragging
About ‘Legal Resistance’ Against Donald Trump
by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton
{rightwingnews.com} ~ This is disturbing. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is assisting Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election... He’s now openly bragging about his successful resistance to the Trump administration in a Medium post. This guy places a central roll in Mueller’s investigation and he is massively biased against the President. He has branded himself as a public anti-Trump litigator during the President’s first year, in keeping with the history of hostility between the two men. How is the investigation into Trump supposed to be unbiased and fair when you have someone like this deeply entrenched in it? It can’t be. The Medium post ran in tandem with a profile of Schneiderman in the New York Times. They touted that Schneiderman had filed 100 legal or administrative challenges to Trump’s administrative policies in his first year in office. These include lawsuits that went against the travel ban and the rescission of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), an liar-nObama-era amnesty policy that grants temporary status to illegal immigrants who entered the country as children... http://rightwingnews.com/donald-trump/just-robert-mueller-prosecutor-caught-bragging-legal-resistance-donald-trump/.
commy-Bernie backer James Zogby
accuses Israel of culinary “genocide”
by William A. Jacobson
{legalinsurrection.com} ~ As someone who studies the anti-Israel movement, the outburst on Twitter by pollster and commy-Bernie Sanders backer James Zogby comes as no real surprise... But unless you study the bizarro alternate-universe of Israel hatred, this probably will leave you shaking your head in disbelief. To anti-Israel activists, be they Palestinian or western liberals, everything Israel does is genocide and ethnic cleansing. The facts matter not. The population of non-Jewish Arab citizens of Israel has grown dramatically since Israel’s founding, and Israeli Arabs have the highest life expectancy of anyone in the Arab world. Yet the word genocide and ethnic cleansing routinely is used to describe Israeli Jews actions towards the Arab minority... https://legalinsurrection.com/2017/12/bernie-backer-james-zogby-accuses-israel-of-culinary-genocide/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LegalInsurrection+%28Le%C2%B7gal+In%C2%B7sur%C2%B7rec%C2%B7tion%29.
Democratic Appointees Reluctant
To Give Trump More Judgeships To Fill
by KEVIN DALEY
{dailycaller.com} ~ Two Democratic appointees to federal appeals courts expressed reluctance to retire... during President Donald Trump’s administration, claiming the president has not fielded impressive judicial nominees. Two unnamed judges told BuzzFeed News that they have concerns about the temperament of Trump’s judicial candidates, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of his nominees attained approving reviews from legal trade associations. One circuit judge claimed Trump’s nominees lack the qualifications necessary for judicial service... http://dailycaller.com/2017/12/27/democratic-appointees-reluctant-to-give-trump-more-judgeships-to-fill/?utm_medium=email.
Islamic Oppression of Women:
A Hot New Market
by Giulio Meotti
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ We are not talking about the dreary type of Muslim garment of Raqqa or Kabul... but a global market that is a Westernized, colorful, supposedly joyful Islamic enterprise. First it was a Muslim woman wearing a hijab in Playboy. Then Nike released a "performance hijab" for athletes. Meanwhile, last spring, Aab, one of the world's leading Islamic clothing retailers, opened its first boutique in London, just in time for the annual London Fashion Week. Vogue Arabia published its first-ever print issue. Last month, Mattel unveiled, so to speak, the world's first hijab-wearing Barbie doll, who is apparently part of a new series dedicated to women "breaking social barriers". A conformist and "inclusive" establishment, eager for profits, has turned the Islamic veil into a purportedly new symbol of freedom and fashion. Islamists have understood this psychology among Western elites, who are terrified to be accused of "Islamophobia"... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11482/islam-oppression-women.

New Year's resolution for Trump:
Withdraw U.S. from U.N.
by ERIK RUSH
{wnd.com} ~ Earlier this week, the Clarion Project’s Elliot Friedland offered a poignant commentary addressing how President Donald Trump’s policies are significantly helping to provide an atmosphere wherein the threat of Islamism to the West can be more readily discussed amongst those threatened. The Clarion Project is a nonpartisan forum whose stated mission is “to educate the public about the dangers of radical Islam and promote people and policies which are effective in working against it.”In order to contextualize Trump’s policies, Friedland cites the “Overton Window,” a philosophy developed in the 1990s by Joe Overton of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. This paradigm “maintains that there is an ‘acceptable’ range of politically viable ideas on any given issue,” says Friedland, “framed by the range of ideas held by the public.” Historically, American presidents operate outside this “window” at their peril, because they risk the often capricious judgment of the American people and the rest of the world.
In the main, Friedland’s piece is what I typically refer to as “dead-on,” although the unconventional aspects of our current president’s policies, I believe, tend to transcend any sort of political paradigm at all, traditional or otherwise.
Ronald Reagan was a transformational president and, of course, a conservative. But while he was far more the patriot than a political animal, he operated very much within the existing political framework. While this did not hinder him too much with regard to the things he set out to accomplish, unfortunately it facilitated the rapid dismantling of much of what he did accomplish by the chief executives who came after him. As I’ve stated many times, the “Reagan Revolution” died the day he left office and uber-globalist George H.W. Bush took over.
While President Trump’s contentious travel ban on individuals from hostile Muslim nations for example is anathema to dedicated liberals and global elites, it is an eminently wise policy from a standpoint of national security. A cessation of all Muslim immigration, on the other hand, or a deportation of all Muslim foreign nationals would likely be quite unwise on Trump’s part, from an “Overton Window” standpoint. This does not invalidate the arguable prudence of such action; it merely means that it would fall well outside the range of acceptable action held by the public.
Although much of the following has been characteristically downplayed by the establishment press and Beltway politicos, over the last year we have seen significant indicators that President Trump’s accomplishments are likely to rival or even surpass those of Ronald Reagan, particularly in the areas of economics, national security and America’s overall stature in the international community. Quite a few of his newly enacted and proposed policies are at the farther edges of political convention, but they fall within the parameters of the bold and aggressive action for which the American electorate clamored.
Another move that may fall within the range of public acceptability would be the withdrawal of the United States of America from the United Nations with all due speed. Many are celebrating the recently announced $285-million cut in U.S. funding for the U.N., but this measure is simply not enough considering what the U.N. has come to represent. Inasmuch as America’s political class has become a gaggle of socialist elites with a marked disdain for individual liberty, the democratic process and notions of morality, the U.N. has become an international cabal of these socialist elites and their Third World acolytes whose primary agenda appears to be the dismantling of their greatest benefactor – America.
I need not enumerate the dozens of policies and programs enacted and proposed by the U.N. in recent years that have either compromised our sovereignty or were calculated to do so, its proclivity for lionizing tyrannical and genocidal regimes in the area of human rights, and the plain, good-old wasting of billions of dollars to ostensibly justify its existence. When I see video footage of U.N. General Assembly meetings, I am reminded of the mafiosi who so frequently came under fire by law enforcement and the press when I was growing up in New York. These culturally bankrupt, avaricious, amoral parasites took on airs of respectability simply because they had managed to amass great wealth.
Many of the power players in the U.N. and member nations themselves amassed what power they have by similar means. Thievery on a grand scale, slavery, genocide and the moral ambivalence of those who might have stood in their way led to the utter corruption of this once-relevant organization, and its transformation into a festering sociopolitical boil right on our shores if not technically within our territory.
It is for all of the above reasons that I believe it is an ideal time for the Trump administration to test the waters as regards America’s withdrawal from the United Nations. If not for the genuine environmental calamity to which it would give rise, I would dearly love to see the iconic United Nations headquarters imploded and bulldozed into New York’s East River which is within eye shot of the complex.
Strategically, the only reason for America remaining a U.N. member state lies in the adage having to do with keeping one’s friends close and their enemies closer. Barring the bulldozer solution, I’m certain that one of the U.N.’s wealthier members could pick up the tab for the financial shortfall attendant to America’s withdrawal, and bankroll the headquarters’ relocation to some Third-World cultural Mecca – like London or Abu Dhabi.
