Russia Goes Public on liar-nObama’s “Secrets” that “Happened During liar-nObama’s Terms”

The solution to this vexing problem is to redistribute power amongst the three branches of government and back to the states. Sadly, this scenario won’t likely be happening anytime soon. This situation is one of the main reasons why the Democrat Party focuses so much time and energy on devoting assets to national races and eschewing races at the state and local levels.
. Politics Is Contentious Because So Much Is as Stake
By Todd Johnson: While much of the American media will be focused on James Comey’s testimony this Thursday or pursuing other ancillary stories pertaining to Donald Trump’s presidency, they’re missing a much larger development that will have a significant impact on national politics. It’s no secret the media is engaged in a war of words with Trump and his surrogates. But they have been so focused on the foibles emanating from the White House that they have completely ignored the Democrat Party’s failure to develop a coherent policy message or a plan that addresses any of the challenges facing the country.
Following liar-Hillary Clinton’s dramatic loss last November, the Democrat Party was in a state of shock and disbelief. Much like the stages of grief, Democrats wrestled with the feelings of anger and depression following the election. However, since Trump became the president in January, Democrats have made a conscious decision to ignore the last stage of grief, acceptance. Instead, they are morphing into a vapid and recalcitrant mob more fixated on creating dissension at the national level and waging a war against any decision made by the current administration. They call it the Resistance™.
This type of political polarization is not only dangerous for the two-party system but a critical symptom of a disease that has metastasized over the last 50 years — the ever-growing power of the national government.
One of the main reasons for intense national power struggles is because of the amount of influence that resides in the nation’s capital. In his insightful analysis last fall, our own John Bastiat argued, “Decisions that used to be made by individual states or local governments are now decided somewhere in Washington, DC, often by a single branch, or even worse — and more often the case — an unaccountable sub-entity within that branch. As a result, elections nowadays are
‘for all the marbles.’”The solution to this vexing problem is to redistribute power amongst the three branches of government and back to the states. Sadly, this scenario won’t likely be happening anytime soon. This situation is one of the main reasons why the Democrat Party focuses so much time and energy on devoting assets to national races and eschewing races at the state and local levels.
A look at the 2016 Democrat Party platform shows a leftist platform focused on usurping control from the lowest levels of government and bringing all decision-making to the national level. The Democrat Party has been in a tailspin for the last eight years, as evidenced by their loss of 12 governorships and numerous state houses. This dynamic doesn’t look like it will be changing anytime soon, as Republican candidates have won the last two special House elections and the mayor’s race in Omaha, Nebraska. In many ways, Democrats have zeroed in on the White House at the expense of building from the ground up.
It’s ironic that the Democrat Party touts itself as being an inclusive entity, yet it has no problem shunning anyone who doesn’t march in lockstep with its progressive and far-left agenda. That’s why Democrats have difficulties finding quality candidates to run for office. It’s also a reason why their main power bases are relegated to the Northeast and Pacific regions of the country. However, this dynamic can change rapidly if the Republican Party fails to follow through on its promises from the last election cycle.
If the Grand Old Party wants to continue holding majorities in the House and Senate, Republicans must find creative ways to enact changes to the personal and business tax codes, pass an infrastructure bill, replace the Affordable Care Act, and most importantly, avoid any legislation that takes power away from the state and local levels.
While many Republicans had high hopes for President Trump, it’s apparent he has little appetite for leading the Party, and if he continues his self-destructive behavior, he will soon find his administration in no position to develop or execute policy. Therefore, it will be incumbent upon the GOP leadership to lead in a manner that reflects the values of the membership and act in the best interests of all Americans. Anything short of that will be political malpractice because, after all, a lot of marbles are at stake. ~The Patriot Post

UN Secretary-General
Launches Slanderous Attack on Israel
by P. David Hornik
{pjmedia.com} ~ At this time 50 years ago, Israel was fighting the Six Day War and conquering territories. Since then it has returned the Sinai to Egypt, withdrawn from Gaza, retained control of the Golan Heights... and created a self-governing Palestinian entity in part of the West Bank while retaining overall security control there. This 50-year anniversary has seen a flood of statements lauding or lamenting the Six Day War and its outcomes for Israel. Statements of the former kind emphasize that the war gave Israel defensible borders, a close alliance with the United States by showing that Israel was a regional power, and, eventually, peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan. Statements of the latter kind bemoan Israel’s “occupation” of the Palestinians and describe it as a disaster that has to end -- fast. And UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres offers some of the most egregious remarks in this vein...Guterres doesn't know the truth. And never will. https://pjmedia.com/homeland-security/2017/06/07/un-secretary-general-launches-slanderous-attack-on-israel/

Harris Badgering Witnesses Again –
This Time She’s Muzzled By Intel Chairman
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Freshman Senator and Democrat hatchet hag Kamala Harris (D-CA) seems to have been watching too many Maxine Waters videos... and be tailoring herself to be the Senate equivalent of her California comrade, a less clownish, more calculating, more belligerent, progressive, counterpart. Harris obviously places a high value on rudeness, badgering and intimidation and has no place in the conduct of her interrogations for civility or genuine courtesy. It got to a point on Wednesday that intervention on behalf of the witnesses was required multiple times, including finally, by the Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, who stepped in to provide relief to Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein. He forcibly placing a muzzle on the California cur and gave the witness an opportunity to answer the question...http://rickwells.us/harris-badgering-witnesses-time-shes-muzzled-intel-chairman/

{consjournal.com} ~ Well, well, well. It seems Moscow’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova gave a rather long winded answer when asked about the current state of U.S.-Russia relations.
And you haven’t heard about it, because it contains information about “secrets” the liar-nObama administration had asked the Russian government to keep private, and the liberal mainstream media conveniently kept quiet about it. See her bombshell of a statement for yourself and – SPOILER ALERT! – pay extra attention to the second to last paragraph:
Question: “How do you see the future of Russian-US diplomatic relations in the context of the current atmosphere in Washington? Can you confirm that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will come to Moscow in April?”
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Maria Zakharova (Moscow): “Apparently, many volumes have been written about the development of Russian-US relations. I announced the release of the Foreign Ministry’s yearend Diplomatic Bulletin and even showed it at the previous briefing. I believe that about 20 per cent of that bulletin was devoted to Russian-US relations, the way we see them, how we want them to develop, what we expect from Washington, what we are willing to do with the United States, the priority areas of cooperation, areas where our cooperation should be revived without delay and the areas where this can wait, at least for a limited time. This issue has been covered in interviews by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, comments by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov and in numerous statements made at all levels by representatives from various Russian agencies, political analysts and politicians, as well as officials from the legislative and executive authorities. We can talk about bilateral relations with a different degree of mastery, but we would like to start implementing our relationship at long last.
We provided our views on bilateral relations and the reasons for blocking them under President liar-nObama. We said that we were willing to work with the new US administration, under President Trump. I don’t think we need to invent anything in this respect, because so much has been said before. Simply, we should start concrete practical work. We are ready for this.
You know that we always invite our American colleagues and diplomats to join bilateral or multilateral dialogues on issues in which the United States has traditionally played a big and active role, such as Syria, the consultations in Astana and many others. We expect Washington to formulate its foreign policy approaches in the form of a concept. We are ready for pragmatic and specific work on the principles that we have described many times.
As for the visit by US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and the information about it, this is what I can say. It’s not a secret that preparations for any visit include the coordination of the time when it can be announced. Visits by foreign ministers are public events that are never kept secret. At least, I don’t know about any secret visits by foreign ministers in Russia or the United States. Preparations for such a visit also include the coordination of the format, agenda and the date it can be announced to the public. It is a matter of propriety and respect for each other’s interests. One side proposes a date, and the other side is expected to accept it. This date should be acceptable to both sides, because the foreign ministers have packed schedules. The issue also concerns the coordination of the agenda by experts. One side informs the other side of the issues it plans to discuss, and the other side needs to respond that the agenda is acceptable. In other words, the sides need to reach agreements on many issues, after which they can announce an upcoming visit. This is how we work with our colleagues.
To tell the truth, over the past few years we’ve seen many strange things happen in Washington in connection with preparations for visits or talks by our foreign ministers. The US Department of State has more than once asked us not to announce planned visits until the last minute. This is not our tradition. We have been operating openly for years, but we have respected the requests we have received from our colleagues in Washington in the past few years. But what happened after that? First, the US Department of State asked us to keep the planned visit quiet and not to announce it until the last possible minute, until we coordinated the date. We did as they asked. But a day or two later the information was leaked by the US State Department and sometimes by the US administration. Frankly, this put Russia and the media in a strange situation, because they didn’t know who to believe – the official agencies or the many leaks.
It is difficult to say if this diplomatic communication is a US tradition or the latest technique. But it definitely doesn’t correspond to our traditions. We believe that everything we coordinate should be made available to the media in accordance with diplomatic procedure. When we coordinate a visit and the date for announcing it, the information should be made public calmly and as agreed. This is what we do in relations with our colleagues from other countries.
As I said, such cases in our relations with the US Department of State have become a bad tradition over the past few years. So, I can say in response to your question that we will make the date and format of contacts between the Russian and US foreign ministers public after we coordinate them. We won’t keep them quiet. At this point, I don’t have any information I can share with you. I can say that this visit and such contacts are possible in principle, but it would be premature to talk about timeframes.
Also, I would like to say that if the practice of leaking information that concerns not just the United States but also Russia, which has become a tradition in Washington in the past few years, continues, there will come a day when the media will publish leaks about the things that Washington asked us to keep secret, for example, things that happened during President liar-nObama’s terms in office. Believe me, this could be very interesting information.
Our American colleagues must decide if they respect the diplomatic procedure, if they keep their word on the arrangements made between us, primarily arrangements made at their own request, or we create a few very nice surprises for each other.”
And there you have it. However, this long-winded answer now raises a very important question: If liar-nObama loyalists continue to leak intel, when will the Russian’s turn this threat into a promise and start leaking some intel of their own? Fasten your seatbelts, folks. This could get interesting.
