Pulosi And Ryan Claim To Be
Surprised By Conyers But They Enabled Him
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ House Minority Leader Nancy Pulosi (D-CA) must think the rest of us are as dingy in the head... as she is really expects us to believe that she knew nothing about the predatory sexual misconduct of Rep John Conyers. Pulosi was Speaker of the House for four long years between 2007 and 2011 and has been in the House since first being sworn in in June of 1987. John Conyers, the longest “serving” Congressman and co-founder of the black supremacy organization, the Congressional Black Caucus, has been in Congress since 1965 and his use of intimidation and pressure related to his sexual appetite were no secret. Four members of his staff signed affidavits in support of one of his victims who was fired for refusing to have sex with him and his inappropriate behavior was common knowledge within his office. There is no way an explosive issue like that which was conducted in the open with that many witnesses will remain hidden... https://rickwells.us/pelosi-ryan-surprised-conyers/.

by Onan Coca
{lidblog.com} ~ To our knowledge, former Vice President, the SCHMOTUS loose lips-Joe Biden has never been formally accused of sexual harassment or molestation... but that doesn’t mean he’s not the creepiest old man in America. loose lips-Biden’s “creep factor” has been well documented and if he’s the best that the Democrat Party can do in 2020… they are in deep trouble. Particularly, in the post-Harvey Weinstein, Brett Ratner, Al Franken, etc., age.

Is Trump right about
something 'very fishy' in Foster death?
by JOSEPH FARAH
{wnd.com} ~ If President Trump still believes, as he said last year, that there’s something “very fishy” about the official Independent Counsel report on the still-mysterious death of liar-Bill Clinton’s White House deputy counsel Vincent Foster, he might want to reconsider one of his new candidates for nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.
One of five candidates for a potential opening on the court named Friday by Trump is Brett M. Kavanaugh.
In making the Kavanaugh announcement, the White House noted the following credentials: “Brett M. Kavanaugh is a Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Before his appointment in 2006, Judge Kavanaugh was a partner at Kirkland & Ellis LLP, served as Assistant to the President and Staff Secretary, and was a lawyer in the White House Counsel’s Office and in the Solicitor General’s Office. Judge Kavanaugh also served as a law clerk to Justice Anthony M. Kennedy of the Supreme Court of the United States, to Judge Alex Kozinski of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and to Judge Walter K. Stapleton of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Judge Kavanaugh is a cum laude graduate of Yale College and Yale Law School.”
Conspicuously not mentioned in that biography is Kavanaugh’s role in leading the badly flawed investigation into the death of Vincent Foster in July 1993.
In fact, Kavanaugh took over that investigation when his predecessor, attorney Miguel Rodriguez, resigned, saying in a letter to Kenneth Starr dated Jan. 17, 1995, because evidence was being overlooked in a rush to judgment in favor of suicide and closing the grand-jury investigation, WND reported last year.
The smoking-gun information was reported by WND exclusively early in the 2016 presidential campaign in the form of two documents: a two-page letter of resignation and a 31-page memo both written by Rodriguez, Starr’s original lead prosecutor.
Click here or on the image to see Rodriguez’s letter http://www.wnd.com/files/2016/02/MiguelLetter.pdf
The obvious questions: How could a suicide victim be found with two wounds – a .38-caliber gunshot into the mouth that exited through his head and another wound on the right side of his neck that one of the paramedics described as a small-caliber bullet hole? And why would government investigators go to great lengths to cover it up?
The breathtaking discovery of these documents in the National Archives and Records Administration was made in 2009 by researchers Hugh Turley and Patrick Knowlton. But Knowlton was not just any amateur researcher. He was a grand-jury witness who happened to be in Fort Marcy Park the day Foster died and noticed discrepancies that were never addressed by Starr’s report.
Allan Favish, a Los Angeles attorney who took a Freedom of Information Act case all the way to the Supreme Court seeking access to photographs of Foster’s body as it lay in the park, said he started looking into the case shortly after Foster’s death in 1993. It was Favish who brought the National Archive discoveries by Turley and Knowlton to the attention of WND.
You can read Favish’s brief submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court here.
http://www.allanfavish.com/images/PDF/ajf_merits_brief.pdf
The Rodriguez letter blows holes in the government’s conclusion that Foster’s body had a single self-inflicted gunshot wound.
“At meetings and via memoranda, I specifically indicated my disagreement that there existed ‘overwhelming evidence’ that Foster committed suicide where he was found at Ft. Marcy Park,” Rodriguez wrote to Starr in his resignation letter.
Rodriguez went on to cite 12 ways the investigation was compromised.
Witness statements had not been accurately reflected in official FBI reports, he told Starr.
Even more troubling was the treatment of death-scene photographs.
Four paramedics recalled seeing Foster’s neck wound when they had their memories “refreshed” by “new photographic evidence,” Rodriguez told Starr. Rodriguez indicates the FBI had originally shown these witnesses “blurred and obscured blowups of copies of (Polaroid and 35mm) photographs.”
What the FBI had apparently done was to use a Polaroid camera to take pictures of the original Polaroid pictures, essentially producing blurry “copies of copies.”
The FBI claimed some of the original photos taken by Park Police had been under-exposed and were basically useless. But when Rodriguez found the original images buried in a file, he took them to an independent photo lab used by the Smithsonian Institute and had them enhanced. He was astounded at what they showed. What had once been a blurred spot on the neck, possibly a blood stain as claimed by the FBI, was now clearly something much more.
One of the paramedics, Richard Arthur, described it as a bullet hole about the size of a .22-caliber round.
In January 2001, Favish filed a motion requesting permission to take a deposition from Rodriguez so he could question him about the photos. His motion was denied by a U.S. District Court judge in Los Angeles and ignored by the appeals court in D.C.
The other key document found in the National Archives is a 31-page memo from Rodriguez that also refers to the second wound on Foster’s neck.
At pages 18-19 of the memorandum, Rodriguez stated that one of the photos “clearly depicts a dark, burnt appearing, blood area on VF’s neck.”
He further stated that he reminded one of Starr’s deputy counsels that “only two identical sets of 18 polaroid photographs were provided to OIC [Office of Independent Counsel]. One photo clearly depicts a dark, burnt appearing, blood area on VF’s neck. The D.C. medical examiner who observed the photo stated that, if the picture were cropped and without knowing more, the burnt blood patch looked like a bullet hole or puncture wound. Based on my own experience and training I am confident the traumatized area was caused by a ‘stun-gun’ or ‘tazer’ [sic] type weapon.
“In addition, I pointed out that the third EMT to the body, EMT Richard Arthur, concluded that there was a puncture wound or bullet wound on VF’s neck. I offered that such wounds would explain the upper right shoulder blood.”
Rodriguez’s findings from the enhanced photographs were never included in the Starr report.
Rodriguez’s memo also raises questions about Foster’s purported motives for suicide – some of which tie in to liar-Hillary Clinton’s roles in administration scandals involving Whitewater and the White House Travel Office.
The memorandum, dated Dec. 9-29, 1994, includes the subject title: “November 29, 1994, Meeting Concerning Foster Death Matter and Supplemental Investigation Prior to Grand Jury.”
Here Rodriguez gives harsh criticism of the investigation conducted under previous independent counsel Robert Fiske, who had concluded there existed “overwhelming evidence” in support of death by suicide.
That was simply not true, according to Rodriguez.
“The Fiske counsel report conclusions are not fully supported by the existing record and that the report contains misstatements and supposed facts that are inconsistent with the record,” Rodriguez wrote.
And Fiske’s claim of “overwhelming evidence” to “support voluntary discharge of the weapon in suicide or support that Foster was alone the afternoon of his death” was not supported by the facts on record, according to Rodriguez’s December 1994 memo.
“… there is not ‘overwhelming’ evidence to support the report’s conclusions regarding motivation for suicide,” he wrote, then added that “Before any discussion, Mark Tuohey disagreed.”
Tuohey was Starr’s deputy counsel. Starr’s report would end up confirming Fiske’s contention of “overwhelming evidence” in support of suicide.
About motivation for suicide, Rodriguez wrote:
“Regarding motivation, generally, I pointed out that numerous ‘state of mind’ issues are inconsistent with suicide,” he continued, adding that Foster had “indicated to a number of individuals that he was optimistic about work-related events to come and that he was planning future family events.”
In his memo Rodriguez identifies then-first lady liar-Hillary Rodham Clinton as “HRC” and Vince Foster as “VF” and describes a conversation the two had about the White House Travel Office, which had come under a cloud of suspicion in the media.
He writes: “On the afternoon of Thursday, May 13, 1993 ‘[HRC] told [VF] that she heard about problems in the travel office. The GAO report did not mention HRC’s conversation and provided no insight into HRC’s source for these complaints. On the same day, HRC also asked White House Chief of Staff Mack McLarty ‘about the situation in the travel office.’ The GAO report ignored this discussion as well. Again, on May 13, 1993, ‘[VF] subsequently informed [HRC] that Peat Marwick was going to conduct a review of the travel office matter.’ The GAO report provided no information about this conversation either.”
It’s like Favish wrote last year when Trump said there was something very fishy about the Vincent Foster case: “If Trump’s attorneys ever gave him the same quality of legal service that Fiske and Starr gave to the American people, I suspect that Trump would say: ‘Your Fired!'”
That raises this question: Does the president really understand who it is he’s considering for a U.S. Supreme Court nomination?

liar-Hillary Clinton and Vince Foster
Rodriguez went on to explain in his resignation letter that immediately after he produced the new photographic evidence he came under personal attack by Starr’s staff.
“After uncovering this information, among other facts, my own conduct was questioned and I was internally investigated,” Rodriguez wrote. “I steadfastly maintained, and continue to maintain, that I, at all times, conducted myself as an experienced and trained prosecutor, with years of federal prosecutorial experience and federal grand jury experience.”
Rodriguez concluded that he believed there was sufficient evidence “to continue the grand jury inquiry into the many questions surrounding Foster’s death.” Instead, he was told the grand-jury probe would be abruptly ended and his work would be placed under review.
The other key document found in the National Archives is a 31-page memo from Rodriguez that also refers to the second wound on Foster’s neck.
At pages 18-19 of the memorandum, Rodriguez stated that one of the photos “clearly depicts a dark, burnt appearing, blood area on VF’s neck.”

Rep Gaetz Demands DOJ Investigate
FBI “Special Status” Safe Zone For liar-Clinton

{rickwells.us} ~ Many Americans hope that we will soon reach the point where the evidence against the corrupt in the DC swamp will become too much for them to cover up any longer... We want congressional hearings at some point soon to serve as more than theatrics and stock footage for campaign ads. Investigations of corrupt officials need to yield indictments. Rep Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is a member of the House Judiciary Committee, which has oversight over the FBI and DOJ. He’s calling for an investigation into the apparent corruption at the FBI in which liar-Hillary Clinton was insulated from prosecution. He wasn’t satisfied with the responses he and other committee members were given by AG Jeff Sessions in his recent testimony and now he’s got another bone to pick with DOJ... https://rickwells.us/gaetz-doj-fbi-safe-clinton/.

by Todd Johnson: As millions of Americans take to the roads this week to make the trek to celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends, they will be sharing the highways with thousands and thousands of tractor-trailers.

by Todd Johnson: As millions of Americans take to the roads this week to make the trek to celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends, they will be sharing the highways with thousands and thousands of tractor-trailers. From moving perishable foods to the latest technological products, the trucking industry is easily one of the life bloods of the United States and a quick look at the statistics shows why it’s a critical component to the economy. According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, “trucks carry the highest percentage of the weight and value of goods in the United States, accounting for 60.1 and 60.8 percent, respectively, in 2015.” And one in 15 jobs in the country is related to the industry. However, the industry is on the cusp of a sea change.
According to a recent report, 50,000 more drivers are needed by the end of 2017 and that number could more than triple in 10 years. However, with wages continuing to be stagnant (the average salary last year was $41,340) and the nomadic lifestyle unappealing to many potential Millennial recruits, the trucking industry is facing a real near-term crisis.
Like with most issues, it’s all about demographics. Many young men and women who in generations past might have thought about a truck-driving career are steering clear of the profession. This is a worrisome dynamic for the trucking industry considering that the average age of today’s driver is 52.
There are some industry experts who think that driverless trucks are going to be a reality in the very near future so there is nothing to worry about. According to the International Transport Forum, a think tank that operates within the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, 70% of all trucking jobs could be gone as soon as 2030.
However, driverless trucks aren’t going to be the norm for at least another 10-15 years so a shortage of truck drivers means bad things for the economy. Why is that? When there aren’t enough drivers, supply costs go up, which means that consumer pricing usually goes up as well. In addition, delivery delays on products increase and shortages become more common. None of these results will work well in a society that is now used to having a product delivered in 2-3 days.
These issues can’t be wished away and they have the potential to create some real problems for the country. The trucker shortage is already starting to have a negative impact on business operations. In September, the Chief Economist of the American Trucking Associations stated, “After a period of relatively low turnover, it appears the driver market is tightening again, which coupled with increased demand for freight movement, could rapidly exacerbate the driver shortage.”
Now is the time for action and it’s imperative that government officials and industry stakeholders work together to address the problem. There are numerous solutions that can be implemented, ranging from dropping the minimum age for a CDL license from 21 to 19 to federal and state governments partnering with trucking companies on developing a national recruitment strategy to the elimination of the electronic logging device. These potential solutions, along with many others, are going to need to be implemented if the country is to avert a fairly serious crisis.
It’s way past the time for Congress and the Trump administration to provide the necessary resources to solve this national dilemma. The trucking industry is vital to the health of the nation and it is the backbone of United States economy. All of us have a vested interest in solving this problem because we all purchase or ship goods on a daily basis that are delivered by freight drivers. Only by taking serious action will this national problem get solved.

Trump's Justice League
by Paul Albaugh
.Former IRS Abuser Doesn't Trust You
by Thomas Gallatin: Former IRS executive Lois Lerner and her deputy at the agency, Holly Paz, are fighting to keep their court depositions regarding the Tea Party targeting scandal sealed. Forever. Attorneys for the women argued that releasing their clients’ testimony would put them in danger, stating, “Whenever Mss. Lerner and Paz have been in the media spotlight, they have faced death threats and harassment.” Lerner and Paz specifically referenced Tea Party leader Mark Meckler, who helped organized the class action lawsuit against the women and the IRS, for his having referred to IRS agents as “criminal thugs.” Meckler responded, “Four years of harassing innocent American citizens for their political beliefs, and she’s scared of a guy in a cowboy hat talking to a bunch of old ladies at a Tea Party event?” Meckler continued, “The reality is because she knows she is guilty as the day is long and she doesn’t want people to know what she actually did. It’s hard to have any sympathy for the women. And frankly, I don’t believe she’s genuinely scared.” Indeed, it would seem counterintuitive for Lerner and Paz to hide their deposition from the public if their testimony did prove to exonerate their behavior. If the truth shows their behavior to have been legal and above board, then why hide the truth?
But it’s not just offended Tea Party groups who are interested in seeing those deposition court files. The Cincinnati IRS office that Lerner initially blamed for the targeting scandal is also seeking to learn what Lerner and Paz had to say.
With the government having recently reversed course admitting wrong doing and settled lawsuits brought by Tea Party groups over the scandal, there seems to be more of an argument now than ever for having the deposition records unsealed and made public. When a crime has been committed — by the government, no less — the American public has the right to know who was to blame. Justice demands it. ~The Patriot Post

AG Jeff Sessions: There is No Legal Defense for DACA
{totalconservative.com} ~ Attorney general Jeff Sessions this week defended his decision to bring an end to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program... saying he advised President Trump to reverse the order because there was no reasonable legal defense for it that could be mounted by the Justice Department. Sessions, knowing there was an avalanche of lawsuits headed for the administration from the states, told the Federalist Society that he had no choice but to recommend the immediate termination of what many called “executive amnesty.” In his speech, Sessions said, “No Cabinet Secretary has the power, through guidance, letters, or otherwise, to wipe entire sections of immigration law. But that’s what the previous administration did with its Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals – or DACA – policy... http://totalconservative.com/ag-jeff-sessions-no-legal-defense-daca/

Trump's Justice League
by Paul Albaugh: One of the reasons (for some, the only reason) that millions of people voted for Donald Trump just over a year ago was because he promised to choose people to fill judicial seats who were conservative originalists and would thus “support and defend” our Constitution. So far, he has delivered on that promise — and that doesn’t appear to be changing anytime soon.
by Paul Albaugh: One of the reasons (for some, the only reason) that millions of people voted for Donald Trump just over a year ago was because he promised to choose people to fill judicial seats who were conservative originalists and would thus “support and defend” our Constitution. So far, he has delivered on that promise — and that doesn’t appear to be changing anytime soon. Trump recently announced a list of five more candidates that he will consider for the next Supreme Court vacancy, and that list is very much in keeping with his promise. This is very troubling for leftists because Trump has already filled twice as many federal judiciary seats on the lower courts as his predecessor did by this point in his term.
“The new list of candidates for the high court includes Judge Brett Kavanaugh, a conservative stalwart on the high-profile U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit who clerked for Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, and Judge Amy Barrett of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, an outspoken opponent of the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion,” reports The Washington Times. “Rounding out the list are Judge Britt Grant of the Georgia Supreme Court, Judge Kevin Newsom of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and Oklahoma Supreme Court Justice Patrick Wyrick. Judge Grant previously clerked for Judge Kavanaugh on the appeals court.”
These individuals have been hailed by conservatives for having a fantastic track record of judicial experience and are each welcome additions to Trump’s list. Instead of being activists or despots, they are just the kind of constitutionalist judges we so very badly need today. Obviously, there are currently no vacancies on the High Court, but there has been speculation that extreme leftist Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and wild card Justice Anthony Kennedy are set to retire soon. Better not hold your breath on Ginsberg — she’ll probably hold out just to prevent Trump from replacing her with a conservative.
As for Justice Kennedy, however, National Review’s Ramesh Ponnuru writes, “It is sometimes thought that Kennedy is more likely to retire if he thinks he will be replaced by someone of whom he thinks highly.” That person could be Kavanaugh, who is the most well-known on the new list of judicial candidates. As the Times notes, Kavanaugh also clerked for Kennedy and is thought of highly by his former boss. The only down side for Kavanaugh is that, at the age of 52, he is the oldest judge on the list.
Trump’s ability to shape the federal courts got a little easier as well following Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley’s decision to curtail one of the last legislative limits on a president’s power. Last week, Grassley, as head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, reined in a tradition that empowered senators to block federal appeals court nominees from their home state.
This move, referred to by members of the Senate as a “blue slip,” is sort of like an individual senator’s filibuster, and Democrats are now decrying its removal as a dirty tactic. Remember all the Democrat outcry when former Majority Leader Harry dinky-Reid abolished the filibuster for judicial nominees (except for SCOTUS) for the entire Senate? Neither do we.
On this, Grassley stated, “The Democrats seriously regret that they abolished the filibuster, as I warned them they would. But they can’t expect to use the blue-slip courtesy in its place. That’s not what the blue slip is meant for.”
Nevertheless, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is crying foul. “Taken together,” she complained, “it’s clear that Republicans want to remake our courts by jamming through President Trump’s nominees as quickly as possible.” She might, after all her years in the Senate, actually be correct, though she’s complaining about a feature, not a bug.
Aside from the courts, some say Trump has done a poor job filling other vacancies within the federal government. In this case, it’s not solely the Democrats’ fault for delaying Trump in filling these vacancies — rather, Trump has either not found willing and qualified individuals or he has just decided not to fill those positions. In fact, Trump insisted just last week that this was no accident, but rather that it was his way of shrinking certain agencies.
Trump stated, “I’m generally not going to make a lot of the appointments that would normally be — because you don’t need them. … I mean, you look at some of these agencies, how massive they are, and it’s totally unnecessary.” He is, of course, correct.
This is an additional tactic to drain the swamp in Washington and many conservatives agree with it. On the down side, there are many positions within the various federal agencies still held by people whom Barack liar-nObama put there, and some are fill-ins until they are replaced.
By all indications Trump does not intend to fill or replace those positions, choosing instead to focus on his judicial nominees. This is, after all, what he said he would do and his ability to shape the federal courts may very well be his presidency’s longest lasting impact on our country. ~The Patriot Post

Democrats’ ‘Concern’ about
Sexual Harassment is a PR Ploy

Ironic Hypocrisy: Kneel for America, Stand for Mexico
by Culture Beat: This past Sunday, the NFL’s Oakland Raiders were in Mexico City playing against the New England Patriots. During the pregame ceremony, President Donald Trump spotted what has become an all too familiar sight — but with a twist. Trump tweeted, “Marshawn Lynch of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders stands for the Mexican Anthem and sits down to boos for our National Anthem. Great disrespect! Next time NFL should suspend him for remainder of season. Attendance and ratings way down.”
Lynch has always been a disrespectful and unruly character. Presumably because of his pathetically negative attitude about having to give press interviews, he has never stated publicly why he has long practiced not standing for the national anthem. So from the standpoint of his disrespecting the national anthem, little has changed. However, the fact that Lynch actually stood for the Mexican anthem speaks volumes. It’s ironic that Lynch would choose to show honor for a country whose people are regularly seeking to come to the U.S., often because of Mexico’s long-running problems with violence and lawlessness, while he shows contempt for the nation with the greatest legacy of defending and promoting Liberty the world has ever known. Talk about ignorance.

Dobbs Asks – IS JEFF SESSIONS
CROOKED? More DOJ Obstruction, Interference
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ An exasperated Lou Dobbs welcomes author Peter Schweizer to the program, leading off with the topic of the Mueller probe as the first of many strange situations... that the extreme high levels of corruption and cover up have created. He asks, “Did you ever in your wildest imagination consider that Mueller would be going after the Justice Department documents, the very same people he reports to, who have oversight over the special counsel? This is becoming a farce.” Schweizer replies that he was “actually in favor of the Russia probe in the beginning, “to just sort of clear the record, but this thing has clearly gone well beyond the scope.

CALM DOWN MEDIA! On Illegal Nuclear
Order Question USAF Gen. Gave “Standard” Answer
by J.E. Dyer
{lidblog.com} ~ Predictably, the media have depicted this exceedingly minor event as if it were evidence... that President Trump’s fitness for command of U.S nuclear forces is being called into question. At a conference in Canada, the commander of U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM), Air Force General John Hyten, took a question on the possibility of being given a nuclear order that he thought was illegal. His questioner asked what he would do in that case. Hyten’s answer was straight out of the book, and one that he would give about any president. All of this is exactly right, and there is nothing in it that amounts to an indictment of Trump or his fitness. If asked the same question at any time, about a nuclear-forces order from any president, a STRATCOM commander would say basically the same thing... http://lidblog.com/illegal-nuclear-order-question-gen-gave-standard-answer/.

Democrats’ ‘Concern’ about
Sexual Harassment is a PR Ploy
by Susan Stamper Brown
{townhall.com} ~ No one should be fooled by Democrats’ sudden “concern” about women and sexual harassment.
It’s nothing more than a public relations move to keep them from becoming known as the party of sexual predators.
It’s too late for that.
Every time an election nears, Democrats remind us they are the champions of women.
I don’t buy it for one moment. If they really were, they wouldn’t have ignored the sexual misconduct of their heroes like JFK and liar-Bill Clinton.
The Democratic Party was already on the endangered list and headed for extinction, then, Harvey Weinstein happened. Do a Google image search for Democrats and Harvey Weinstein and you’ll see why they opted for a fake “come to Jesus” moment.
Now they are eating their own.
No matter how guilty, Democrats never eat their own unless their own are eating away at their chances to win elections.
It’s about 20 years too late hammering on liar-Bubba, but they are doing it anyhow, as a last-ditch effort to save themselves from going the way of the dinosaur.
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) is hungry for some liar-Clinton, too. She says former president liar-Willy the Weasel who had an affinity for blue dresses, and used his political positions to put young women in questionable positions, should have resigned.
Of course, Gillibrand was OK with the former Philanderer-in-Chief’s support of her back when she was an infant politically. Now she’s grown up and has eyes on filling the Oval Office liar-Clinton defiled, it’s time to conjure up a whole lot of that fake concern Democrats are so good at.
Yeseree, Bob, Democrats are now also woke enough to notice what’s happening with their resident jokester Senator Al Franken (D-MN).
Democrats thought Franken was awesome until a scummy picture of the Minnesota senator with journalist and model Leeann Tweeden hit the Internet.
Democrats loved that funny guy who gave them a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Yup. They had no problem overlooking that he had a verifiable history of making perverted remarks about sexually assaulting women, like the old piece in the New York Magazine where he was quoted pitching a television skit about drugging and raping CBS reporter Leslie Stahl. He also made some X-rated comments not worthy of repeating in a Playboy column that Democrats overlooked.
Now, some are calling for the clown who never should have been in office in the first place to go. It’s funny how that works.
They have also turned against creepy, old, touchy-feely Uncle loose lips-Joe Biden who always seems to find his hands in the wrong place when the camera clicks. Leftwing news and opinion websites like the Huffington Post and the Daily Beast are now saying loose lips-Biden is “a terrible idea” for 2020.
Until recently, Democrats loved the guy, despite all those video clips and photos of him gently snuggling, rubbing and smooching on females who weren’t all that into it. One can only hope former Vice President Lingering Hands was chewing on Tic Tacs the day he invaded former Defense Secretary Ash Carter’s wife’s personal space.
Don’t believe that any of this has to do with conviction and repentance, folks. Democrats are scrapping to keep themselves from extinction.
Mark my word, they are also hoping that flapping their jaws with fake concern will be convincing enough to gain the political support they need to take down a sitting president whose own sexual misconduct allegations from decades back did not stop him from winning the White House. And don’t be surprised if they offer up a female president hopeful like Gillibrand to fill that void in 2020.
Most hilarious is that Democrats have no idea that we can see right through their sidesplitting antics when they switch from complete indifference to fake moral outrage in the blink of an eye to supposedly uphold the moral high ground. Democrats don’t know it, but we’re woke too.

Three More Victims of liar-nObama's War on Cops
by Political Editors: Baltimore detective Sean Suiter was shot and killed last Wednesday and a manhunt is on for his killer — a black male in a black sweatshirt. New Kensington, Pennsylvania, Police Officer Brian Shaw was killed Friday by a fleeing black suspect who is now charged with first degree murder. Two U.S. Border Patrol agents were ambushed by (perhaps) illegal aliens Sunday; Rogelio Martinez was killed and his partner was sent to the hospital with serious injuries. Suiter was black, Shaw was white and Martinez was Hispanic. But there’s a common thread among the killers — they are favored Democrat minority constituents, and it’s as likely as not that they were motivated or enabled by the war-on-cops policies of Barack liar-nObama. Whether it’s urban poverty plantations or open borders, liar-nObama helped exacerbate terrible conditions that resulted in the loss of these three brave law enforcement officers.

Dem Conyers’ Congress Bordello – Tax Money
For Sex, Employees Were His Pimps, Victims

{rickwells.us} ~ Michigan Democrat Rep John Conyers, always quick to point out the shortcomings in Republicans... will be spending his immediate future making excuses and attempting to minimize his sexual misconduct that occurred in his office and elsewhere while on official business. Word comes via BuzzFeed that in 2015 Conyers settled a wrongful dismissal complaint that he fired a former employee because she refused his sexual advances. Included in the supporting documents are four signed affidavits from former staff members, that document Conyers’ alleged sexual harassment.

The GOP is right to ignore pay-as-you-go

This includes a $25 billion reduction of what Medicare pays providers for medical services. Republicans are right to ignore, for now, this potential effect of their tax legislation, as they had no role in the enactment of the pay-as-you-go law in the first place and can fix the problem later. It was House and Senate Democrats who rammed the pay-as-you-go legislation through Congress in 2010 just as they were about to lose their supermajority. Democrats today complain about the partisan approach Republicans have taken on health care and taxes.

'liar-Bill’s guilty' is really a Democrat liar-Hillary ploy

{americanthinker.com} ~ Those conservatives and Republicans reading the cautious confessions of Democrat players that they may have actually been wrong about liar-Bill Clinton's sexual crimes... could be forgiven if they wrongly believe the scales have fallen at last from the eyes of the left and they can now see how mistaken they once were. While it is tempting to read these mea culpas from liberal pundits and power players within the party, one would be well advised to not go getting all dewy-eyed and sentimental over the turkey table with the mistaken belief that perhaps our Democratic brethren aren't so morally misguided as we've long believed.

Security at Risk with Russia Nonsense

Think about it: Trump is being accused without any evidence at all of colluding with Moscow in a successful effort to steal the election away from liar-Hillary Clinton. Merely through a sense of self-preservation, therefore, one would expect him to stay as far away from Russian President Vladimir Putin as possible. And that would have been easy enough; there is broad consensus on both sides of the aisle that Russia can’t be trusted, and Trump is gaining virtually nothing – politically – by going out of his way to reach out to the Kremlin. And yet he did. On several occasions in Vietnam last week, Trump spoke with Putin despite all of the attempts on the part of his aides to keep them apart. Why? Because he knows what Democrats and more than a few Republicans can’t seem to figure out, which is that better relations between the U.S. and Russia are not only GOOD for our nation, but indispensable... http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/democrats-are-putting-our-security-at-risk-with-russia-nonsense/

UNSERIOUS NATION
by PATRICK J. BUCHANAN
{wnd.com} ~ How stands John Winthrop’s “city upon a hill” this Thanksgiving?
How stands the country that was to be “a light unto the nations”?
To those who look to cable TV for news, the answer must at the least be ambiguous. For consider the issues that have lately convulsed the public discourse of the American republic.
Today’s great question seems to be whether our 45th president is as serious a sexual predator as our 42nd was proven to be, and whether the confessed sins of Sen. Al Franken are as great as the alleged sins of Judge Roy Moore.
On both questions, the divide is, as ever, along partisan lines.
And every day for weeks, beginning with Hollywood king Harvey Weinstein, whose accusers nearly number in three digits, actors, media personalities and politicians have been falling like nine pins over allegations and admissions of sexual predation.
What is our civil rights issue, and who are today’s successors to the Freedom Riders of the ’60s? Millionaire NFL players “taking a knee” during the national anthem to dishonor the flag of their country to protest racist cops.
And what was the great cultural issue of summer and fall?
An ideological clamor to tear down memorials and monuments to the European discoverers of America, any Founding Father who owned slaves and any and all Confederate soldiers and statesmen.
Stained-glass windows of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson have been removed from the National Cathedral. Plaques to Lee and George Washington have been taken down from the walls of the Episcopal church in Alexandria where both men worshiped.
But the city that bears Washington’s name is erecting a new statue on Pennsylvania Avenue – to honor the four-term mayor who served time on a cocaine charge: Marion Shepilov Barry.
Whatever side one may take on these questions, can a country so preoccupied and polarized on such pursuits be taken seriously as a claimant to be the “exceptional nation,” a model to which the world should look and aspire?
Contrast the social, cultural and moral morass in which America is steeped with the disciplined proceedings and clarity of purpose, direction and goals of our 21st-century rival: Xi Jinping’s China.
Our elites assure us that America today is a far better place than we have ever known, surely better than the old America that existed before the liberating cultural revolution of the 1960s.
Yet President Trump ran on a pledge to “Make America Great Again,” implying that while the America he grew up in was great, in the time of Barack liar-nObama it no longer was. And he won.
Certainly, the issues America dealt with half a century ago seem more momentous than what consumes us today.
Consider the matters that riveted America in the summer and fall of 1962, when this columnist began to write editorials for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. What was the civil rights issue of that day?
In September of ’62, Gov. Ross Barnett decided not to allow Air Force vet James Meredith to become the first black student at Ole Miss. Attorney General Robert Kennedy sent U.S. marshals to escort Meredith in.
Hundreds of demonstrators arrived on campus to join student protests. A riot ensued. Dozens of marshals were injured. A French journalist was shot to death. The Mississippi Guard was federalized. U.S. troops were sent in, just as Ike had sent them into Little Rock when Gov. Orville Faubus refused to desegregate Central High.
U.S. power was being used to enforce a federal court order on a recalcitrant state government, as it would in 1963 at the University of Alabama, where Gov. George Wallace stood in the schoolhouse door.
As civil rights clashes go, this was the real deal.
That fall, in a surprise attack, Chinese troops poured through the passes in the Himalayas, invading India. China declared a truce in November but kept the territories it had occupied in Jammu and Kashmir.
Then there was the Cuban missile crisis, the most dangerous crisis of the Cold War.
Since August, the Globe-Democrat had been calling for a blockade of Cuba, where Soviet ships were regularly unloading weapons. When President Kennedy declared a “quarantine” after revealing that missiles with nuclear warheads that could reach Washington were being installed, the Globe urged unity behind him, as it had in Oxford, Mississippi.
We seemed a more serious and united nation and people then than we are today, where so much that roils our society and consumes our attention seems unserious and even trivial.
“And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods?” wrote the British poet Thomas Macaulay.
Since 1962, this nation has dethroned its God and begun debates about which of the flawed but great men who created the nation should be publicly dishonored. Are we really a better country today than we were then, when all the world looked to America as the land of the future?
Court Documents Raise Significant Questions About Leigh Corfman’s Accusations Against Roy Moore
Scott Olson/Getty Images
Court documents involving Leigh Corfman, who says that
Alabama senatorial candidate Roy Moore tried to engage in a
sexual encounter with her when she was 14, raise questions
about the timeline and narrative of Corfman’s accusations
against the politician.
Those accusations were first publicly disclosed in a Washington Post story citing Corfman and her mother, Nancy Wells, as saying that in early 1979, Roy Moore, then a 32-year-old assistant district attorney, allegedly asked Wells to watch her fourteen-year-old daughter while Wells went into a courtroom for a custody hearing.
Corfman claims that Moore asked the young Corfman for her number. “Days later, she says, he picked her up around the corner from her house in Gadsden,” the Post story states, referring to her mother’s home in Gadsden. Corfman’s parents were divorced.
The first private meeting was arranged after Moore called Corfman on her home phone at her mother’s house, Corfman alleges.
Corfman says that Moore took her to his home, put his arm around her, and kissed her. Corfman told the Post that she had asked Moore to drive her home because she was feeling nervous and he obliged.
“Soon after, she says, he called again, and picked her up again at the same spot,” the Post story reports, without providing an exact timeline.
That is when Corfman says that Moore drove her back to his house, touched her body, and guided her hand to his underwear. Corfman says that she yanked her hand back.
“She says that after their last encounter, Moore called again, but that she found an excuse to avoid seeing him,” the Post story continues.
Regarding the original court hearing where Corfman says that Moore asker her for her number while Wells went inside the courtroom, the Post reported that it “confirmed that her mother attended a hearing at the courthouse in February 1979 through divorce records.”
advertisement
A thorough search of court documents finds one court case in February 1979—a case that took place on February 21, 1979. The Post failed to tell readers that at that February 21, 1979, court case Wells voluntarily gave up custody of Corfman to Corfman’s father, Robert R. Corfman. The two had been divorced since 1974. The custody case was amicable and involved a joint petition by both parents.
The Post further did not tell readers that as a result of the joint petition to change custody, the court ordered the 14-year-old Corfman to move to her father’s house starting on March 4, 1979. Court documents show the father’s address in Ohatchee, and not in Gadsden, where her mother lived and where Corfman says the meetings with Moore took place.
This would mean that from the court hearing on February 21, 1979, until Corfman was ordered to move to her father’s house, Moore would only have had 12 days, including the day of the court hearing, to have repeatedly called Corfman at her mother’s Gadsden house, arrange two meetings, and attempt another. Moore has strenuously denied the accusations.
While that timeline is theoretically possible, the Moore campaign stressed in a press conference today it is unlikely.
Ben DuPre, Moore’s former chief of staff on the Alabama Supreme Court, spoke today on behalf of the campaign. DuPre noted that “as best as we can tell” the February 21, 1979, case was the only court movement to have taken place that month. Breitbart News also could not find another court document from that month in 1979.
The disclosure raises questions about why that twelve-day window was not mentioned in the Post story or by Wells or Corfman in subsequent interviews. Neither Corfman nor Wells publicly mentioned the change in custody during the critical period where Moore was said to have arranged meetings with Corfman outside her mother’s home.
Earlier this month, Breitbart News interviewed Wells and she discussed Moore’s alleged calls to Corfman as taking place at her home.
Breitbart News reviewed the custody and divorce documents in full. The custody arrangement allowed for “reasonable rights of visitation” for Wells, including on alternate weekends and full custody for one week starting on December 24. However, that one week of custody in December does not fit into the timeline of Moore allegedly arranging meetings days after the February hearing.
There is another detail in the custody documents that raise questions about Corfman’s story.
The Post strongly implied that the alleged encounter with Moore caused Corfman to exhibit reckless behavior in her teenage years.
The Post reported:
After talking to her friends, Corfman says, she began to feel that she had done something wrong and kept it a secret for years.
“I felt responsible,” she says. “I felt like I had done something bad. And it kind of set the course for me doing other things that were bad.”
She says that her teenage life became increasingly reckless with drinking, drugs, boyfriends, and a suicide attempt when she was 16.
The Post failed to mention that the very reason for the February 21, 1979, court hearing where Moore allegedly met Corfman was because, according to the court documents, Corfman had exhibited “certain disciplinary and behavioral problems.” In other words, Corfman evidence behavioral problems prior to the alleged encounters with Moore.
Indeed, those stated “disciplinary and behavioral problems” were cited in the joint petition to change custody as the cause for both Wells and Corfman’s father agreeing that Corfman would be better served living with her father. The parents signed a “consent decree” going along with the change in custody.
Over one year later, on May 5, 1980, which would have been after any alleged encounters with Moore, Wells filed a new petition to take back custody of her daughter. That petition stated that Corfman’s “disciplinary problem has improved greatly.” The stated change in behavior is important since Corfman’s “disciplinary and behavioral problems” were cited as the reason for the father taking custody.
The improvement in behavior described by Wells seems to conflict with Corfman’s claim to the Post that after the 1979 encounter her “life became increasingly reckless with drinking, drugs, boyfriends, and a suicide attempt when she was 16.”
The judge apparently agreed with Wells’ assessment of Corfman’s improved behavior and granted Wells custody on October 15, 1980.
At today’s press conference, DuPre also mentioned Wells’ interview with this reporter in which Corfman’s mother contradicted a key detail of Corfman’s story.
Speaking by phone to Breitbart News, Wells, 71, says that her daughter did not have a phone in her bedroom during the period that Moore is reported to have allegedly called Corfman—purportedly on Corfman’s bedroom phone—to arrange at least one encounter.
The Washington Post cited Corfman as remembering that she provided Moore with her number when she was 14. She said that she spoke to Moore from what she described as the phone in her bedroom.
In yet another detail called into question at today’s press conference, DuPre referred to the exact spot mentioned in the Post story as the alleged meeting place for Corfman’s claimed encounters with Moore.
The Post cited Corfman as saying that Moore, according to the newspaper’s characterization, “picked her up around the corner from her house in Gadsden.”
The Post mentions the specific intersection where Corfman says that Moore picked her up around the corner from her mother’s house. The Post reports, “She says she talked to Moore on her phone in her bedroom, and they made plans for him to pick her up at Alcott Road and Riley Street, around the corner from her house.”
DuPre said that intersection was almost a mile away from her mother’s house at the time and would have been across a major thoroughfare.

Residents of Swedish No Go Zone suburbs afraid to leave their homes
( Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate!
Sweden was reportedly on the verge of civil war this past summer; its national police chief cried out “help us, help us,” but nothing has been done to control the problem with Muslim migrants. At least 80 percent of Swedish police want to quit their jobs, and now:
Almost half the residents in many troubled no-go zones in Sweden say they are too afraid to leave their homes in the evening and at night due to rampant violence and criminality.
The former deputy chief of the serious crimes division stated months ago: “I’m so f***** tired….Our pensioners are on their knees, the schools are a mess, healthcare is an inferno, the police is completely destroyed.”
The Moderate Party said the military should be deployed to aid police in no-go zones because police face danger when answering calls in the areas. In some cases, “youths” have purposely called emergency services to a certain area to attack them.
Terror has been struck into the hearts of disbelievers in Sweden, an advanced example of where all Western nations are headed with unchecked, unvetted immigration from problematic Muslim countries.
“Residents of Swedish ‘No Go Zone’ Suburbs Afraid to Leave Their Homes”, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, November 21, 2017:
Almost half the residents in many troubled no-go zones in Sweden say they are too afraid to leave their homes in the evening and at night due to rampant violence and criminality.
According to a survey conducted by the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå), residents of troubled suburbs in heavily migrant populated cities like Malmö are increasingly fearful of being robbed or injured by criminals. Nearly half, 48 per cent, of respondents in the survey who live in Malmö suburbs feel that the area is too dangerous to go out at night, SVT reports.
The number of fearful residents is high in other areas of the city, the population of which, according to reports, is growing solely due to mass migration. In Northern Malmö, 36 per cent said they were afraid to go out in the evenings and in the nearby city of Lund, 22 per cent said they felt unsafe at night.
The survey also examined residents’ opinions on crime in Swedish society in general. In some areas like the city of Ystad, 58 per cent of those surveyed complained that they had deep anxiety over the levels of criminality in their area.
Sweden’s other major cities like Stockholm and Gothenburg showed similar survey results and many in Sweden have become more concerned over the criminality in no-go suburbs despite years of reports of riots and violence.
Last month, the Moderate Party said the military should be deployed to aid police in no-go zones because police face danger when answering calls in the areas. In some cases, “youths” have purposely called emergency services to a certain area to attack them.
In one case in Malmö, youths set two cars on fire during the evening and when firefighters arrived they attacked them with rocks and bottles as they attempted to put out the fire. Due to the attack, the firemen were forced to leave the area which led to a building being burned to the ground.
Paramedics and ambulance workers have also been attacked in no-go zones….

University of Illinois instructor Tariq Khan arrested after attacking conservative students
( ,Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate! )
College campuses have become hotbeds of jihad radicalism and Antifa recruitment centers. The leftist/Islamic coup is complete.
The left spend the last forty years making that long march through the institutions. Steadily, step by steps, beginning in the 1960s, they took over the academic institutions, the educational system, the mainstream media, the entertainment industry, etc. The left’s cultural coup on our most important and influential centers of academia, media, literature, music, film – upon our culture in general — led us to the present state of the world. The left worked hard at replacing our shared values of individualism and reason with irrationalism. The ideal of the rational man was murdered by the self-made savage – college educated, middle class savages. Americans were relentlessly propagandized until millions no longer believed in the reality of evil.
University of Illinois instructor arrested after confronting conservative students
A graduate instructor at the University of Illinois faces criminal charges after he was seen on video aggressively confronting a group of conservative students and damaging a student’s cellphone.
Tariq Khan, a Ph.D. candidate who has taught multiple courses at the college, was arrested at an anti-Donald Trump rally last week for criminal damage to property, The Daily Illini student newspaper reported Monday.
According to videos published by Campus Reform and The College Fix, Mr. Khan was speaking at the rally when he was interrupted by a group of conservative students who were protesting the event.
A student identified as Joel Valdez, executive board member and campus activism coordinator for Turning Point USA at the university, heckled Mr. Khan at the event, yelling, “No one’s scared of you, 50-year-old man! Don’t you have kids to look after?”
Mr. Khan charged the group and repeatedly accused Mr. Valdez of threatening his children. At one point, Mr. Khan appeared to assault one of the students and snatch his cellphone. He then starts to walk away and the students can be heard saying they’re going to call the police. Mr. Khan threw the phone on the sidewalk and left.
Rule by One Man: Judge Declares Sanctuary Cities Law of the Land
( We the people have the finale say on this!!!! Not a corrupt Socialist judge if he is not going to up hold the law and support the will of the AMERICA PEOPLE, he must be remove by the people!!!! )
Principles for a FREE SOCIETY
Isn’t it interesting how whenever a state wants to uphold federal immigration laws, federal judges say they are preempted by the federal government from enforcing the law? Yet, whenever neo-confederate sanctuaries nullify immigration law, it is not only upheld, but the courts say the federal government is powerless to enforce the law of national sovereignty.
Amidst a slew of liberal judges imposing nationwide preliminary injunctions on DOJ’s policy of curtailing federal law enforcement grants to sanctuary cities, a San Francisco judge has now implemented a permanent block. Judge William H. Orrick issued a preliminary injunction back in April based on Trump’s political statements with no valid standing from the jurisdictions in question.
In a rich irony, Judge Orrick, an Obama donor, cited separation-of-powers doctrine as well as the Fifth and 10th Amendments in siding with sanctuary cities.
Yes, evidently according to liberal judges, states are reduced to rubble and can’t decide election law and district maps or uphold federal immigration law … but, suddenly, when they want to nullify something manifestly within the powers of the feds, they cite the 10th Amendment! And the irony of separation of powers is lost on him, because nobody is willing to apply that doctrine to the runaway judiciary.
Advocates of judicial supremacy always erroneously cite the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution as proof that states must abide by lawless decisions, but they are missing the proper interpretation of this clause: abiding by federal statute on national issues, such as immigration.
Dale Wilcox of the Immigration Reform Law Institute, which filed an amicus brief siding with the government in this case, observed the dangerous precedent set by this ruling.
“If the Supremacy Clause is irrelevant, the result will be a country where agenda-driven politicians are free to choose which federal laws they will obey and which they will defy. This sets a horrible precedent that should be reversed on appeal,” said Wilcox, in a comment to CR.
Imagine if a governor would declare that because he disagrees with some of our foreign wars, he will not deploy his state’s National Guard units to the theater of war. Would courts then say the feds are impotent and incapable of forcing them to comply?
In his April ruling, Judge Orrick contended that only Congress has the spending power and that “federal funding that bears no meaningful relationship to immigration enforcement cannot be threatened merely because a jurisdiction chooses an immigration enforcement strategy of which the President disapproves.”
Judge Orrick is willingly overlooking the laws on the books.
Last month, when a Chicago judge issued a similar order, I noted that the federalism and separation-of-powers arguments are completely bogus:
Cities like Chicago are taking active steps to undermine, thwart, and downright prohibit police from cooperating with ICE, as required by law (8 U.S.C. 1373). There is no practical way for the federal government to exercise this solemn responsibility if states are active accomplices to the assault on the national sovereignty.
Moreover, 8 U.S.C. 1373 was enacted as part of the 1996 Welfare Reform Act to ensure that illegal aliens don’t benefit from public assistance. By definition, any grant program would benefit illegal aliens were it to be funneled equally to jurisdictions saturated with illegal aliens. Thus, the federal conditions on the executive order are not extraneous to the policy goals of the underlying grant as they would be if, say, the federal government cut off transportation funding to a state for implementing an undesirable social policy related to gender-neutral bathrooms. In this case, the law is designed to target the recipients of benefits, not a social behavior.
Also, as we explained in a previous sanctuary case, the federal government is only limited from using the spending power to coerce states into abiding by a power not within the province of the federal government, such as the drinking age. Immigration, on the other hand, much like deploying the military, is one of the most foundational federal powers.
It is truly disgusting how illegal aliens can get standing to sue for money that statute prohibits them from receiving, yet taxpayers can’t get standing to sue sanctuaries.
In a twist of cruel irony, in July, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court declared the entire state a sanctuary state by barring law enforcement from cooperating with ICE detainers. The man who originally got standing and won that case, Sreynuon Lunn, was subsequently arrested for allegedly slapping a 65-year-old wheelchair-bound woman in the face and stealing $2,000 from her after she exited a bank.
A government of one man
Being a federal judge is an amazing job, especially if you don’t believe in law and the Constitution.
According to our prevailing, albeit erroneous, conception of the judiciary, a liberal judge can grant standing to a plaintiff on any political matter; unilaterally serve as a legislature or executive veto on broad-based policy; apply the ruling nationwide; overturn 200 years of precedent, the Constitution, and statute; and have the new decision be regarded as sacred precedent, and then never stand for reelection.
As James Madison wrote in Federalist 47, “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
Yet, the judges have even more power than all three branches combined; they have the power of an emperor. Think about it — even a law that passes the legislature and is signed into law and is upheld for 200 years is not permanent. Yet, the minute a liberal judge overturns our laws, history, and traditions, that is considered permanent precedent. They have the ability to engage in an ad hoc constitutional convention on a daily basis.
This is why I laugh at those who suggest an Article V convention will result in a liberal takeover or “runaway convention.” Why would they undergo the arduous process of winning a targeted amendment in 38 states when they can get a single Obama donor within one of the many permanent circuits they hold to change our most foundational laws and constitutional clauses?
Our entire political debate over the issues is meaningless when unelected judges could win 100 years’ worth of political battles overnight without firing a shot and without incurring any backlash from the electorate.
What is so disgraceful is that there is no sense of urgency in Congress to fix the courts and not a single bill has been advanced to remove immigration from the jurisdiction of lower courts. Instead, the focus is all amnesty all the time.
The stolen sovereignty has gotten so bad that now the federal government cannot even protect us from the worst criminal aliens. At some point, this is the fault of the other two branches, not the judiciary.
Judges have “neither force nor will” to back up their usurpations. It’s time for Trump to demand from Congress the force and will to cut off all funds to sanctuaries in the upcoming budget bill and put the lawless judges in their place.

Court Documents: Original Moore Accuser’s Story Has Huge Holes in It
Posted: November 22, 2017 at 6:29 am / by Joseph Morgan
It has been two weeks since the bombshell story by the Washington Post declared that Judge Roy Moore, leading Republican candidate to fill the Alabama Senate seat, in a December 12 special election, had allegedly molested 14-year-old Leigh Corfman 39 years ago. Moore has repeatedly denied the claim, and said he doesn’t even know Corfman. Despite it being a case of he-said, she-said, there was little else to corroborate either’s story, until now. Court documents involving Corfman raise serious questions about her timeline of events as well as specific statements given in her testimony.
Breitbart News, who has been on the ground in Alabama doing real investigative reporting and fact-checking of the claims made in the Post’s original article, have uncovered detailed evidence that cast serious doubt on Corfman’s already dubious narrative. One might ask, why didn’t the Post “journalists” do this kind of “fact-checking” themselves, but then, the answer seems all to obvious: they had their story, and nothing was going to detract them from printing it, especially not the truth.
From Breitbart:
Those accusations were first publicly disclosed in a Washington Post story citing Corfman and her mother, Nancy Wells, as saying that in early 1979, Roy Moore, then a 32-year-old assistant district attorney, allegedly asked Wells to watch her fourteen-year-old daughter while Wells went into a courtroom for a custody hearing.
Corfman claims that Moore asked the young Corfman for her number. “Days later, she says, he picked her up around the corner from her house in Gadsden,” the Post story states, referring to her mother’s home in Gadsden. Corfman’s parents were divorced. The first private meeting was arranged after Moore called Corfman on her home phone at her mother’s house, Corfman alleges.
Corfman says that Moore took her to his home, put his arm around her, and kissed her. Corfman told the Post that she had asked Moore to drive her home because she was feeling nervous and he obliged.
“Soon after, she says, he called again, and picked her up again at the same spot,” the Post story reports, without providing an exact timeline. That is when Corfman says that Moore drove her back to his house, touched her body, and guided her hand to his underwear. Corfman says that she yanked her hand back.
“She says that after their last encounter, Moore called again, but that she found an excuse to avoid seeing him,” the Post story continues.
Regarding the original court hearing where Corfman says that Moore asker her for her number while Wells went inside the courtroom, the Post reported that it “confirmed that her mother attended a hearing at the courthouse in February 1979 through divorce records.”
A thorough search of court documents finds one court case in February 1979—a case that took place on February 21, 1979. The Post failed to tell readers that at that February 21, 1979, court case Wells voluntarily gave up custody of Corfman to Corfman’s father, Robert R. Corfman.
The Post further did not tell readers that as a result of the joint petition to change custody, the court ordered the 14-year-old Corfman to move to her father’s house starting on March 4, 1979. Court documents show the father’s address in Ohatchee, and not in Gadsden, where her mother lived and where Corfman says the meetings with Moore took place.
This would mean that from the court hearing on February 21, 1979, until Corfman was ordered to move to her father’s house, Moore would only have had 12 days, including the day of the court hearing, to have repeatedly called Corfman at her mother’s Gadsden house, arrange two meetings, and attempt another. Moore has strenuously denied the accusations.
While that timeline is theoretically possible, the Moore campaign stressed in a press conference today it is unlikely.
Ben DuPre, Moore’s former chief of staff on the Alabama Supreme Court, spoke today on behalf of the campaign. DuPre noted that “as best as we can tell” the February 21, 1979, case was the only court movement to have taken place that month. Breitbart News also could not find another court document from that month in 1979.
The disclosure raises questions about why that twelve-day window was not mentioned in the Post story or by Wells or Corfman in subsequent interviews. Neither Corfman nor Wells publicly mentioned the change in custody during the critical period where Moore was said to have arranged meetings with Corfman outside her mother’s home…
There is another detail in the custody documents that raise questions about Corfman’s story.
The Post strongly implied that the alleged encounter with Moore caused Corfman to exhibit reckless behavior in her teenage years.
The Post reported:
After talking to her friends, Corfman says, she began to feel that she had done something wrong and kept it a secret for years.
“I felt responsible,” she says. “I felt like I had done something bad. And it kind of set the course for me doing other things that were bad.”
She says that her teenage life became increasingly reckless with drinking, drugs, boyfriends, and a suicide attempt when she was 16.
The Post failed to mention that the very reason for the February 21, 1979, court hearing where Moore allegedly met Corfman was because, according to the court documents, Corfman had exhibited “certain disciplinary and behavioral problems.” In other words, Corfman evidenced behavioral problems prior to the alleged encounters with Moore.
Indeed, those stated “disciplinary and behavioral problems” were cited in the joint petition to change custody as the cause for both Wells and Corfman’s father agreeing that Corfman would be better served living with her father. The parents signed a “consent decree” going along with the change in custody.
Over one year later, on May 5, 1980, which would have been after any alleged encounters with Moore, Wells filed a new petition to take back custody of her daughter. That petition stated that Corfman’s “disciplinary problem has improved greatly.” The stated change in behavior is important since Corfman’s “disciplinary and behavioral problems” were cited as the reason for the father taking custody.
The improvement in behavior described by Wells seems to conflict with Corfman’s claim to the Post that after the 1979 encounter her “life became increasingly reckless with drinking, drugs, boyfriends, and a suicide attempt when she was 16.”
The judge apparently agreed with Wells’ assessment of Corfman’s improved behavior and granted Wells custody on October 15, 1980.
At today’s press conference, DuPre also mentioned Wells’ interview with this reporter in which Corfman’s mother contradicted a key detail of Corfman’s story…
In yet another detail called into question at today’s press conference, DuPre referred to the exact spot mentioned in the Post story as the alleged meeting place for Corfman’s claimed encounters with Moore.
The Post cited Corfman as saying that Moore, according to the newspaper’s characterization, “picked her up around the corner from her house in Gadsden.”
The Post mentions the specific intersection where Corfman says that Moore picked her up around the corner from her mother’s house. The Post reports, “She says she talked to Moore on her phone in her bedroom, and they made plans for him to pick her up at Alcott Road and Riley Street, around the corner from her house.”
DuPre said that intersection was almost a mile away from her mother’s house at the time and would have been across a major thoroughfare.
Thank God for actual filed journalists doing actual filed journalist work, otherwise, Corfman’s story might have never been verifiable one way or the other. Now, as can be seen, there are serious, factual problems with it. You think any of this information will find it’s way into the Post? Doubtful.

2016: The Year I Became a Racist Sexist Bigot Homophobe, Part 5 of 11 – Dr. Jekyll and the Morning After
(My 2016 Presidential Election Forecast Map based on polling data adjusted for guestimated polling source bias.)

Part 5 – Dr. Jekyll and the Morning After
This entire story has unfolded to this point to provide context for a single Facebook post. I wrote it on November 9, 2016, the day after the election. The world woke up after a very long election night to the realization Donald Trump would be the President of the United States of America in a couple short months. Private messages came pouring in. Some wanted to give me a virtual high-five, some said goodbye to me forever as their friend, but most wanted to know what I thought would happen next.Up to that point, I had been thinking on a broader level, as were most people. The new reality, however, was immediate and stark as people who called themselves my friends for years suddenly saw me as their mortal enemy. “Indeed, what is the way forward?” I thought.
The Facebook post was as much to answer my own question as any of theirs. The following description of how it was written, and the way it made me feel when it was done, is here to provide the final context to understanding the post itself.
It was hammered out in a single sitting in a very rare fountain of word after word. I’m usually very methodical in my writing, producing final text at an unimpressive rate of about one paragraph per hour. This time, I rolled out 2,800 words in what seemed like a few minutes, but was in just under an hour in real time.
Then I read it. It was like someone much wiser than me wrote it. I hope you get the chance to experience that feeling a few times in your life. The clash between personal modesty and pride in something that came from someplace so deep, it doesn’t seem to belong to you, is very… indescribable.
The post was shared by several friends and copied and pasted by others (with permission). It came back to mind a few days ago when one of my friends shared the Facebook Memory of it. I read it again. This time, the feeling it had been written by someone else was intensified by the year of time passed. I was, very uncomfortably, even freer to agree with myself.
This is when the strange timing of life came into play. A friend of mine pointed out an alternative media organization with an open call for writers. As I wondered how I could get these words in front of more people, the opportunity presented itself.
The parts following this one are the text of the post itself.
(Please stay tuned for the next part. It’s a long story, so I broke it down into life-sized bites.)

Opinion in BriefCal Thomas: “Having abandoned what might be labeled a spiritual GPS for guiding us through this life and offering instructions on how to attain a better reward in the next, we are witnessing what unrestrained men (and they are mostly men) are capable of doing. The ‘scandal’ word is used in a way that suggests a standard for measuring what is scandalous. Why is anything a scandal in 2017? If truth is personal and relative, why judge anyone else’s behavior if it makes them feel good? ‘It can’t be wrong when it feels so right’ sang Debbie Boone in what could now serve as an anthem for our time. What we are seeing is an ugly reflection of ourselves. If we don’t like the image we see in the mirror we should ask how we arrived at this place and what can be done to reverse it. I recall evangelist Billy Graham once saying that America is not at a crossroads but a long way down the wrong road and needs to come back to the crossroads and take the right road. That was four decades ago. Things have gotten worse since then. Past spiritual revivals that have touched America (and England) came from repentance and prayer. Who has faith in politicians to fix this when growing numbers of them are having difficulty adhering to a moral code themselves?” ~The Patriot Post

A Law to Enforce the Law?
by Robin Smith: What does the U.S. government do when laws on the books are not being enforced? Pass another law, of course. After two failed attempts to improve enforcement of laws pertaining to the legal possession and purchase of a firearm, Congress may consider a third law.
by Robin Smith: What does the U.S. government do when laws on the books are not being enforced? Pass another law, of course. After two failed attempts to improve enforcement of laws pertaining to the legal possession and purchase of a firearm, Congress may consider a third law. Last week, the “Fix NICS Act” was introduced, sponsored by Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Chris Coon (D-CT), to urge agencies to fully and promptly report critical information and updates to the National Instant Criminal Background Check database. You see, the government can supposedly force individuals to purchase ever-more overpriced health insurance but it can’t pass a law with any enforcement mechanism to ensure a national computer database will be accurate in real time to make sure weapons are not sold to criminals or the mentally ill.
The NICS, or the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, was launched in 1998 by the FBI as a result of the 1993 Brady Law. That law was named for Ronald Reagan’s White House Press Secretary, James Brady, who was shot and permanently disabled during the assassination attempt by John Hinkley. This aggregate database, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics website, is supposed to provide information from three separate databases maintained by the FBI: The Interstate Identification Index (III), a database of criminal history record information; the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), which includes information on persons subject to civil protection orders and arrest warrants; and the NICS Index, which includes the information contributed by federal and state agencies identifying persons prohibited from possessing firearms who are not included in the III or NCIC, such as persons with a prohibiting mental health history or who are illegal or unlawful aliens.
Despite the hysteria and abject lies that the National Rifle Association somehow “owns” all Republicans, there have been two bipartisan attempts over the last two decades to provide a database for the purpose of informed weapons sales to individuals with neither a criminal background nor a mental health issue that would make these purchases, and therefore possessions, illegal.
Since 1995, two legislative efforts have already garnered enough votes to pass and become law, but the information placed into those databases is either incomplete, erroneous or underutilized.
With a Republican Congress and a Democrat president in the mid 1990s, the National Criminal History Improvement Act was, according to the program’s website, made law to “improve the nations safety and security by enhancing the quality, completeness, and accessibility of criminal history record information and by ensuring the nationwide implementation of criminal justice and noncriminal justice background check systems.”
The decades-old initiative uses grants, training and technological assistance in a carrot-only approach with no stick should states not participate fully to provide results.
Next, the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 appropriated millions of dollars to include pertinent mental health information that would impact a legal firearms sale or transfer of possession. This bill was successful with a Democrat congressional majority and a Republican president following the Virginia Tech campus shooting at the hands of a student with a mental health diagnosis and under current treatment at the time.
So, despite leftist fearmongering and lies, the NRA’s position remains consistent on this third attempt to encourage lawful and responsible sales and possessions of weapons. Speaking to NBC News, “The National Rifle Association has long supported the inclusion of all appropriate records in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.”
Even the bill’s sponsor on Thursday noted this is no silver bullet. Cornyn stated, “For years agencies and states haven’t complied with the law, failing to upload these critical records without consequence.” He referenced financial incentives that will drive compliance but did include comment directed at penalizing federal agencies “that do a bad job” of providing current data to make the NICS operational.
Specifically, according to Reason’s Christian Britschgi, the third iteration of the law “would require every federal agency, within a year, to create a plan to do better job of handing over records to the federal background check system.” For those agencies failing to meet this legislative goal, “the bill would deny bonuses to these agencies’ political appointees.” Further, grants will be made available to states who produce similar plans for implementation.
Will this proposal produce the desired results of a functional database? Well, in addition to the grant funding that will be available as an incentive, the dramatic culture change within the Trump administration — which isn’t fixated on paying for sex change surgeries in the military or boys being able to use the girls bathrooms — maybe the U.S. Armed Forces and our Department of Justice will be able to do work that sees critical information reach the right hands in the transaction of gun sales and purchases.

Dick Morris – Earthquake Will Rock
The Swamp When FBI Informant Testifies
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Dick Morris believes an earthquake is about to hit Washington DC, in the form of William Campbell... the FBI informant that is now scheduled to spill the beans to Congress on the shenanigans that was going on between the FBI, the liar-Clintons, liar-nObama and his corrupt regime, and the Russians over rights to US Uranium assets. He gives a short summary of what Campbell likely has on the crooked officials and how he got it, noting that he began in 2009 to infiltrate and collect evidence of racketeering against the Russians, on behalf of the FBI. Morris says that when the testimony by Campbell hits, “We are going to have clear indications that there was a systematic plot to take over our uranium supply that culminated in the purchase of Uranium One by Rosatom and in the approval of that purchase by a cabinet level committee that’s chaired by liar-Hillary Clinton.”...https://rickwells.us/morris-earthquake-swamp-informant/ .
Treasure Trove of Documents
Tying Russia to Uranium One

In fact, the evidence obtained by the Department of Justice and FBI, starting as early as 2008 paint a much different picture than that of recent reports regarding the confidential informant, William D. Campbell Jr., and his role. According to the documents, Campbell gained insight into Russia’s strategic plans to gain global dominance in the uranium industry and to build a closer relationship with liar-nObama administration officials... https://www.hannity.com/content/2017-11-20-sara-carter/.
New Sexual Assault Allegations Against

by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ It now appears that former President liar-Bill Clinton didn’t change his ways after the series of sexual scandals he left behind in the White House and the Arkansas Governor’s mansion... In fact, if the allegations are true, he got even more lascivious and abusive with the passing of time and dimming of the spotlights. New charges of sexual assault are being leveled against liar-Clinton by four women, according to high level Democrat insiders and an official from inside both the liar-Clinton and liar-nObama administrations. The new offenses are alleged to have taken place in the years following his exit from the White House, beginning in 2001. The four women are working in concert although they are each filing their own separate lawsuit. They are, as part of the negotiations, offering to remain silent in exchange for large payments of cash.

Democrats in Meltdown Mode as liar-nObamacare Individual Mandate Moves Toward Extinction
by Emily Miller
{dailysignal.com} ~ Democrats, of course, oppose the tax cuts moving through Congress. They believe government knows how to spend your money better than you do... But what has really got their goat is eliminating the liar-nObamacare tax—known as the individual mandate—that Americans have to pay to the IRS for simply choosing not to buy health insurance. This has thrown them into a tailspin of despair.

Giving Thanks for the Free Marketby Jordan Candler: In two days, millions of Americans will celebrate Thanksgiving. It’s a predominantly American tradition in which we thank God for blessing us with a comfortable lifestyle. Of course, those blessings would be significantly diminished — and are across many areas of the world — if not for the men and women who promote a free market.
by Jordan Candler: In two days, millions of Americans will celebrate Thanksgiving. It’s a predominantly American tradition in which we thank God for blessing us with a comfortable lifestyle. Of course, those blessings would be significantly diminished — and are across many areas of the world — if not for the men and women who promote a free market. In some nations, it’s not even possible to celebrate Thanksgiving like we do here. Take Venezuela. Statism has so ruptured and paralyzed the nation that most resources that are overflowing here are extremely sparse there. Of course, Venezuela doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving. But even if it did, greed, corruption and power grabs have made it tangibly impossible to celebrate it American-style. In America, Thanksgiving generally consists of bountiful amounts of food. In Venezuela, millions of people are literally starving.
Simply stated: The people who most appreciate Thanksgiving are those who understand what life is like without the free market. In many cases, they or a family member have had to sacrifice something. Or at the very least they recognize that it is because of the free market that our tables are chock-full of goodies. And now has never been a better time to further promote the ideals that make it possible according to Investor’s Business Daily, “The American Farm Bureau Federation released its latest price survey of items typically found on the dinner table at Thanksgiving. What it found is that the cost of providing all the usual trimmings went down this year. Feeding 10 will run an average $49.12, down from $49.87 last year. The report also notes that the cost of Thanksgiving, when adjusted for inflation, is 23% less expensive today than it was in 1986.” IBD rightly credits the free market.
These statistics probably come as a surprise to most people. But they also offer sage advice. Reuters reports, “Nearly one-third of all adults will actively avoid political conversations when they see friends and family over the Thanksgiving and December holidays, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Friday. About half said they do not expect to discuss politics at all.”
This isn’t surprising when taking into account our polarized society. But the Reuters poll also means there are still plenty of people who are ready to engage in political discourse. (Here are our thoughts on that.) As we stuff our faces on Thanksgiving, it’s worth reminding your family, both liberal and conservative, that food is cheaper today thanks to ingenuity and Liberty. Surely everyone can agree this is a good thing and worth giving thanks for. And maybe, just maybe, it can segue into a civil discussion about our God-given liberties, which make Thanksgiving possible. ~The Patriot Post

State Dept. Sued for Secret
Records on UN Paris Climate Accord

On November 11, the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) filed its second lawsuit against the State Department to obtain illegally withheld documents related to the 2015 Paris climate agreement. The lawsuit is the result of the State Department’s failure to respond to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by the Washington, D.C.-based think tank in October of 2017. CEI is requesting e-mails of two State Department officials involved in the liar-nObama administration’s maneuvering to circumvent the Senate in order to join the Paris agreement.

POST (OFFICE)-TRAUMATIC SHOCK
by Burt Prelutsky
When a reader in Texas, who had ordered a signed copy of “Angels on Tap,” still hadn’t received it after three days, I was naturally concerned that I might have mis-addressed it. But he assured me that the problem had more likely occurred at his end, in Houston.
Apparently, over the years, a fair number of Houston’s postal employees have decided that they have dibs on every package going through the system.
I was reminded of my own problems with the US mails. Several years ago, it was discovered that three local black people, a man and two women, had organized a gang of local Hispanics to first steal the mail and then go through it looking for the envelopes that contained checks.
Then, using the various bank and routing numbers as a model, the ringleaders would print their own checks and have them cashed at local banks.
I’m not sure how they were finally caught, but it may have been that some wide-awake bank clerk didn’t believe that the teenage Hispanic trying to cash a check wasn’t really named Burt Prelutsky. He probably gave himself away when he couldn’t spell “Prelutsky” or, possibly, "Burt."
In any case, I was contacted by a postal security agent who wanted to know if I’d agree to testify in court. I assured him I would.
After a few months, it dawned on me that I’d never been called to make a court appearance, so I called the guy back.
He told me that the case had already been adjudicated. He reported that the two women had been let off with a warning not to do it again. The man was given a six-month sentence, but only because he was already on parole.
I could hardly believe what I was hearing. The trio had been found guilty of a serious federal offense, and the only reason that one of them was even going to prison was because of a prior offense.
Perhaps because the fellow whose job it is to arrest these people was so blasé about it, I found myself shouting at him. And what I shouted was: “How dare you accept a salary! Doesn’t it even bother you that your life’s work amounts to a total waste of time?”
He didn’t say anything, so I hung up.
But that wasn’t the end of my tribulations with the Post Office. There are two mailboxes in my neighborhood. One is two blocks north of my house, the other is a couple of blocks south. I discovered that whenever I’d drop a letter into either mailbox, I’d notice a sticky substance on the inside of the lid.
I asked the local mailman if he knew about it. I thought that since he would use his key to open the bottom of the box to collect the mail, he might not know what was happening up above. But he did know. He even knew how it got there.
He explained that someone was dropping a line tied to a weight covered with goo into the box and fishing out whatever stuck. He told me he had reported it, but nothing had been done about it.
Next, I paid a call on the manager of the local post office. He said nobody had reported it to him. So, I already knew I was dealing with a big fat liar. Or, in other words, a typical bureaucrat pulling down a federal salary.
Ignoring the lie, I plunged ahead, assuring him that the mailman would confirm my facts. When he asked what I thought he should do, I suggested he set up a couple of surveillance cameras in the trees adjacent to the mailboxes and record the thief or thieves in the act.
He said he couldn’t do that. He didn’t tell me why. So, I asked if his solution was for every taxpayer in the vicinity to risk having his letters, along with his utility bills and mortgage checks, stolen? He replied with a shrug.
So, I next wrote to the Postmaster General of the United States. I never received a response, but, then, of course, I have no way of knowing if my letter ever reached him.
● I checked out a website that keeps track of the 50 states and ranks them in terms of how many green cards they extend to immigrants, along with their nations of origin.
West Virginia hands out the fewest green cards, just 42-per-100,000 (1.6% of the state’s population). Most of the cards go to those from Germany.
The next four are Montana,50.3-per-100,000 (2.1%), with the majority going to Canadians; Mississippi, 53.1-per-100,000 (2.4%), mainly to Mexicans; Alabama 80.9 (3.5%), mainly Mexicans; and South Carolina 90.2 (4.8%), mostly Mexicans.
At the opposite end of the scale, you have New York handing out 658.4-per-100,000 (22.9%), the majority going to Dominicans; followed by Florida, 587.2 (20.2%), Cubans; New Jersey, 557.4 (22.1%), mainly from India; California, 538 (10.9%, Mexicans; and Hawaii, 457 (8.2%), mostly from the Philippines.
In 33 of the states, Mexican immigrants constitute the largest number of green card holders, followed by those from India (4), Canadians (3), the Philippines (3), the Dominican Republic and El Salvador (2), and Germany, China and Cuba with one each.
Is it any wonder that America is quickly morphing into Los Estados Unidos?
I do wonder, though, how all those folks from the Philippines wound up in Alaska and North Dakota. I guess they just wanted a radical change in climate.
● Some of you are aware that two of my articles appear every week at the Patriot Post, where others get to read them about a week or 10 days after you do. But the Post, being a profit-making enterprise, does pay for the privilege.
I used to appear on other websites, but I eventually grew disenchanted with them or they with me. I used to appear on some Jewish conservative site that was based in Brooklyn. The problem was that the guy who managed it would leave an article up for a couple of months, although I kept sending him new material. Even though I repeatedly pointed that his readers might think I had retired or died, he refused to change his ways or even to explain his motive. So, I bid him shalom and left.
Another of my venues was Townhall. For nearly four years, they carried two of my pieces every week. Then, one day, they told me they had decided to stop posting my articles. Even though I wrote them more than once, asking for an explanation, they never bothered providing one.
Some of the Townhall readers suggested that an Arab or Muslim had invested in the operation and apparently disapproved of my pro-Israel stance, but I can’t verify that.
For a couple of years, Bernie Goldberg carried my stuff on his website, but at least when he severed the relationship, he let me know it was because he couldn't go along with some of the nasty things I wrote about urban blacks, Muslims and homosexuals. Inasmuch as I couldn't go along with some of the nasty things he wrote about President Trump, it was an amicable divorce.
Until about eight months ago, WorldNetDaily carried me on a weekly basis. Once I began a subscription service, they even agreed to pay for the privilege. But instead of paying for the entire year, as you all do, Joseph Farah insisted I submit an invoice every quarter. Against my better instincts, I agreed to do so.
He immediately paid for the first quarter. But when I submitted the next bill two weeks prior to the start of the second quarter, I wasn’t paid for three weeks.
Having learned my lesson, I submitted the next invoice a full month before the start of the third quarter. After a couple of weeks, I sent along a reminder, and again, a week after that.
When the deadline came and went, I let Farah know I was dropping WorldNetDaily from my subscription list.
In response, he let me know in no uncertain terms that he had bills to pay. I pointed out that mine was one of them and that he’d had an entire month in which to pay it.
A few days later, the overdue check arrived. I mailed it back.
● A reader let me know that he thought black Americans had hit rock bottom when the California branch of the NAACP recently called for the abolition of the National Anthem, insisting it is was anti-black and pro-slavery.
I let him know that I thought blacks had hit rock bottom back in 1999, when David Howard, who was an assistant to Washington D.C.’s mayor, Anthony Williams, in conversation with two fellow staffers correctly used the word “niggardly,” meaning miserly. Within days, he was hounded out of his job by the mayor’s ignorant black constituents.
● As old as I am, until reading about the sexual misconduct charges leveled at Harvey Weinstein and alleged comedian Louis C.K. (aka Louis Szekely), I had no idea that in certain extremely weird circles, masturbation is considered a spectator sport.
Please stop the world, I want to get off.

Sexual harassment settlements in Congress paid by taxpayershttp://video.foxnews.com/v/5646895881001
.
Outing Congressional Creeps Is a Must
by Arnold Ahlert: It has often been said that Washington, DC, is Hollywood for ugly people. As Americans are learning, looks are the least of it. Over the last 20 years, Congress has shelled out more than $17 million to cover sexual harassment, discrimination claims and other cases against it members. And in a double-dose of reality that reeks of Ruling Class privilege, the names of those engaged in wrongdoing remain under wraps — and their settlements are paid for by the American taxpayer, courtesy of a secret slush fund managed by the Office of Compliance (OOC).
“I have had numerous meetings with phone calls with staffers, both present and former, women and men who have been subjected to this inexcusable and often illegal behavior,” Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) stated during the House Administration Committee’s first hearing to review that chamber’s sexual harassment policy. “In fact, there are two members of Congress, Republican and Democrat, right now, who … have engaged in sexual harassment.”
Who are they? We may never know. In 1995, Congress passed the Congressional Accountability Act, creating the OOC and extending workplace protections to legislative branch employees, giving them the right to file complaints against members of Congress regarding various types of discrimination and sexual harassment. Yet whether by accident or design, the process is so convoluted and arduous, many complainants forego it altogether.
First, a written statement initiating a complaint must be made within 180 days of the incident. After that, victims must agree to go through a 30-day counseling period, during which one must meet with the OOC to learn about one’s rights and the required steps involved in pursuing a complaint. Another 30 days of mandatory “mediation” follows, during which the accuser and the accused, or their representatives, attempt to reach a settlement with a mediator’s help. After that, the complainant must wait an additional 30 days before filing a formal complaint with the OOC, or a lawsuit in Federal District Court.
While this orchestrated ordeal is occurring, the complainant’s employer will be notified, and the resolution of the dispute can only be made public if it is settled in the complainant’s favor.
Note that the resolution itself can be made public. The identity of the guilty legislator? He or she remains immune to public disclosure.
“The so-called process was clearly drafted to protect the institution rather than the most vulnerable,” Speier said in a statement. “Survivors have to sign a never-ending nondisclosure agreement just to start the complaint process, which is unheard of in the private sector, then continue to work in their office alongside their harasser.”
The process was apparently also designed to be obtuse. Because the OOC is not required to divulge information about the number of complaints, defendants, settlements or dollar figures, it’s almost impossible to discern the actual number of harassment reports.
The OOC insists that compiling statistics on settlements by specific claims remains problematic “because settlements may involve cases that allege violations of more than one of the 13 statutes incorporated by the (Congressional Accountability Act).” Moreover, between 40% and 50% of harassment claims are settled following the mediation phase and, according to Speier spokeswoman Tracy Manzer, as many as 80% of people who brought allegations of sexual misconduct to their office chose not to follow up with the OOC. Those who did follow up labeled the process a “nightmare,” and many of them abandoned their efforts midway through.
Alleged victims made political calculations as well. “I need these guys’ votes,” explained an unidentified congresswoman who said she has been sexually harassed by her male colleagues numerous times. “In this body, you may be an enemy one day and a close ally the next when accomplishing something. … So women will be very cautious about saying anything negative about any of their colleagues.”
Such dubious rationalizations resemble the choices made by Hollywood actresses willing to endure harassment in exchange for career advancement. The gigantic difference? Actresses are making movies. Congresswomen are making law.
Now that the Ruling Class’s dirty laundry has become public, both chambers of Congress have decided to “fix” it — beginning with a dose of political correctness. On Nov. 9, the Senate passed a resolution mandating sexual harassment training for senators, their staff and Senate interns. It must be completed within 60 days of the resolution’s passage, and each Senate office must present a certificate of completion for publication on the secretary of the Senate’s website.
Five days later, House Speaker Paul Ryan followed suit with a mandatory training program for House members.
Speier and Senate colleague Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), who also claims she has also been harassed by an unnamed male colleague, are following up with legislation to reform the process itself. Its provisions include waiving the current 30-day requirements for both counseling and mediation, creating an optional in-house council for complainants, eliminating the required nondisclosure agreements for filing complaints (while retaining them as part of any settlement), and creating an online system to initiate complaints.
All well and good, but ultimate reform remains hazy. While public disclosure of the employing office and the amount of a settled claim would be required, and lawmakers would be forced to pay out of pocket for any settled claim where they are identified as the harasser, “other claims” would still be underwritten by the taxpayer.
Moreover, there’s a gigantic element of reform conspicuously missing: naming names. Speier insists the two members of Congress guilty of harassment remain anonymous because the “victims are the ones who do not want this exposed.”
Really? Why? Just as it is with Hollywood, reality suggests the most plausible explanation is because victims believe there will be retaliation. And if a 2003 survey cited by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is even relatively accurate, there will be. It found that “75% of employees who spoke out against workplace mistreatment faced some form of retaliation.”
By the same token, it is not unreasonable to assume many allegations are either outright lies, attempts to game the system for political gain, or the outgrowth of a “guilty until proven innocent” feeding frenzy engendered on college campuses by the liar-nObama administration, mercifully ended by current Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.
Yet if Congress is really serious about ending this nonsense — on both sides of the equation — genuine accountability ought to prevail. If the allegations turn out to be false, those making them should be subject to job termination. On the other hand, if guilt is established beyond a reasonable doubt, Congress, not the victims themselves, should be required to publish the names of the offending lawmaker and precipitate efforts to oust him or her from Congress.
For decades Congress has exempted itself from laws it imposes on the rest of the nation. And while some things government does should remain beyond public disclosure, outing congressional creeps isn’t one of them. Not by a long shot. ~The Patriot Post

Creeping Sharia
Documenting the Islamization of America
Tennessee: Nashville Middle School Students Visit Mosque for Religious Indoctrination
via Metro Nashville Students Visit Local Mosque for Religious Instruction – Tennessee Star
On October 17th, students from Metro Nashville Meigs Middle Magnet School visited the Islamic Center of Nashville (ICN) where Dina Sirois, operations director of the mosque, told them that they would “talk about beliefs and practices in Islam.”
An audio recording of Sirois’ presentation was forwarded to The Tennessee Star.
Using a set of prepared slides, Sirois alternated between talking about Islamic religious doctrine and posing comparisons of Islam to Judaism and Christianity. She opened her talk telling the students that:
We’re all on a learning journey and on a faith journey and today’s talk is to expand your critical thinking skills. We’re not trying to win you over. We’re trying to give you information so you can leave here today with yet another little piece of your brain that has some new little storage compartment that has been filled with Islam stuff and then you take that on with your life and your faith journey and then you keep adding more and more aspects from different faiths and different cultures until you make your final decision as to what kind of person you want to be when you grow up.
Virginia: Pakistani Muslim cleric defines America as “The land of Infidels”
( Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate! )
Pakistan born Islamic cleric Rafiq Khan
via Pakistani-American Muslims call for restrictions against ‘non-Muslims’
Pakistan born Islamic cleric Rafiq Khan defined America as “The land of Infidels” at a fundraiser for his Islamic charity this Saturday. The event which was held at a Holiday Inn in Springfield, Virginia attracted over 100 participants. Speakers included an Islamist from Pakistan as well as radical Imams from the states of Maryland, Virginia, and Texas. The conference revolved around the topics of Jihad, Infidels and what can the American Muslim community do to counter conspiracies against Islam.
We went undercover to report on the day-long event which was organized by two U.S. registered charities, Idara Dawat-O-Irshad and Khatme Nubuwwat Center, both of which enjoy IRS tax-exempt status.
The registration desk which was manned by teenagers displayed flyers and posters denouncing the founder of the moderate Ahmadiyya Islamic sect. An exhibition stall lined with posters urged Muslim voters to not vote for “non-Muslim candidates”. The event particularly targeted the Ahmadis who are considered heretic by the majority of mainstream Muslims as they believe in another Prophet after Prophet Muhammad and have a different understanding of Jihad. Many of the conference speakers accused the Ahmadis of being ‘Infidels’ and criticized them for having ‘abolished Jihad’.
The event’s keynote speaker was Habib-ur-Rehman Ludhianvi, a visiting Islamic cleric from Pakistan. In a 2016 piece, Ludhianvi who serves as the editor of monthly Millia magazine claimed that America was behind the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
Ludhianavi, who is also the principal of the Islamic seminary Dar-ul-Uloom located in the Pakistani city of Faisalabad claimed that ‘ignorant Infidels’ need to be dealt with force, He said:
“They are ignorant and there is no need for dialogue with them, God has given them two options, one is the holy book and one is the stick [Force] and if one does not accept the holy book they have to be forced”
He also urged American Muslim Lawyers to use the American Justice system to restrict the religious freedom of Ahmadis:
“Have all Muslim lawyers died, why cant they learn and understand U.S. laws and then go present their case in front of the judge and explain that Qadianis [Ahmadis] are disrespecting Islam……..Islam is our faith and they [Ahmadis] are portraying their religious beliefs as Islamic beliefs ……. it should be made criminal for them to do so”

Last year in his magazine, Ludhainvi issued a Fatwa (decree) stating that “The use of cellphone by women in public places was against Islam” and so was wearing “High heel shoes”
Usman AhsanAnother Islamic cleric, Usman Ahsan, a graduate of Dar-ul-Uloom, a Canadian Islamic seminary declared that claiming to be a Prophet after Muhammad was “enough to wage war” against them.
Pakistani cleric Ludhanvi repeated Ahsan’s comments and said that:
“those who claimed prophethood after Prophet Muhammad were not only given death sentences by were actually killed”
Qareeb-ur-RehmanSimilar comments were made by Mufti Qareeb ur Rehman, an American Imam who graduated from Pakistan’s Jamia Binoria Karachi, an Islamic seminary with ties to extremist groups. Rehman currently serves as an Imam at the Manassas Muslim Association.
Another Jamia Binoria graduate, Imam Shazad Hussain of Springfield’s ‘Noor Mosque’ claimed that the minority Ahmadis conspired with the British to stop Muslims from ‘fighting Jihad and committing bloodshed’.
It’s time to shut down terrorist mosques, ban foreign-funding for any mosque and ban all foreign-born Muslim imams, clerics and preachers from entering the U.S.
UK’s Christmas in the age of jihad: Armed guards, concrete barriers and metal detectors around festive market
( Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate! )
...
Why is this necessary? Because of “right-wing extremism”? No, because of jihad. Why is there jihad in Britain? Because of the Muslim immigration policies pursued by Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, and Theresa May. Will those policies be changed? Absolutely not, and even to suggest such a thing makes you a racist, bigoted Islamophobe. So Merry Christmas, and don’t forget to duck.
“How Britain celebrates Christmas in 2017: Armed guards, concrete barriers and metal detectors spring up around festive markets due to terror attack fears,” by Alex Matthews, Mailonline, November 20, 2017 (thanks to the Geller Report):
Britain’s Christmas markets will surrounded by a ring of a steel with armed police on patrol and metal detectors at entrances as security is raised over new terror fears.
There will be concrete barriers, stop and search checks and officers on the ground at the popular festive events in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Edinburgh and Bath in the run up to Christmas.
The precautions are being taken after the Local Government Association warned councils to be vigilant this year with the terror threat level to the UK currently at ‘severe’ – meaning an incident is ‘highly likely’.
Britain has suffered from the three horrific attacks this year with innocent people and children killed in London and Manchester.
But while security is being ramped up in light of the atrocities in Westminster in March, the Manchester Arena in May and London Bridge in June, the authorities are also concerned about a potential copy-cat attack.
Last Year 12 were murdered when an ISIS fanatic ploughed a lorry through Berlin’s Breitscheidplatz Christmas market.
Visitors to the Scottish capital’s Christmas markets on George Street and East Princes Street this year can expect bag searches and security checks at entrances.
Police Scotland have also pledged to enforce additional security measures and armed officers will be on patrol at the festive events.
A police spokeswoman said: ‘Our priority is the safety and security of all those attending or involved, and the public are encouraged to continue with their plans to attend or take part in events as normal.’
‘The public may see additional protective security measures. There could also be increased security checks at some events and venues so we advise the public to arrive in plenty of time to allow for this.
Manchester’s Christmas market has also bolstered its security precautions, in the wake of the Manchester Arena bombing, which killed 23 people at an Ariana Grande gig in May.
Visitors will be met with metal and concrete barriers at the Yuletide festival, with armed police patrols keeping a watchful eye over the crowds.
Superintendent Chris Hill, of Greater Manchester Police, said: ‘I want to assure people that we are strengthening protective security as an extra precaution to keep people as safe as possible, and it should make people feel more comfortable and reassured about attending events like the Christmas Markets.
‘This has been a difficult year for the city and we must never forget the people who have been affected.
‘However, we have already all come together and shown our strength and determination to carry on enjoying our day to day lives.
‘I want to encourage everyone to do the same. We are here and we’re doing everything that we can to keep you safe.’…
It isn't Islamophobia when they really ARE trying to kill you
BRITISH AUTHORITIES prosecuting parents for not allowing their children to visit a mosque during school trips
( Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate! )
A council in Britain is taking action to crack down on “Islamophobia” in response to some parents refusing to send their children on mosque visits arranged by schools.
FreeSpeehTime Liberals and leftists in the West use the made up term “Islamophobia” to portray anyone who criticizes Islam as a “racist”. They ignore the fact that Islam is an ideology that has nothing to do with race. There is an attempt in the West to impose a sharia-blasphemy law to criminalize criticism of Islam.
