“Mad Dog” Mattis Had Four Words
For North Korea That Stopped The World
{greatamericandaily.com} ~ North Korea’s nuclear brinkmanship has the world on edge. A military conflict that could kill millions may break out at any moment... And Defense Secretary “Mad Dog” Mattis had four chilling words when asked about Kim Jong-Un’s latest saber rattling. There are reports that North Korea is planning another intercontinental ballistic missile test. This launch comes on the heels of the communist nation conducting their sixth – and largest in scale – nuclear test to date... http://greatamericandaily.com/mad-dog-mattis-had-four-words-for-north-korea-that-stopped-the-world/

{greatamericandaily.com} ~ Robert Mueller’s witch hunt against Donald Trump is dragging on. Democrats and the media are holding out hope he can prove the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to rig the 2016 election... But one email just showed Trump and his team are innocent. Trump’s lawyer, Ty Cobb, is caught up in a bit of a mess. He was duped by a notorious prankster into exchanging emails when he thought the hoaxster was Trump’s social media guru Dan Scavino. In the course of the email back and forth, Cobb revealed his thoughts on the case. And he expects Mueller to exonerate Trump and the White House of any collusion charges... http://greatamericandaily.com/one-email-just-cleared-trump-in-the-russia-scandal/

Trump to Call for UN Naval Blockade of NKorea
by Cathy Burke
{newsmax.com} ~ The United States' effort to further isolate North Korea with tough measures including an oil embargo will also call for a partial naval blockade, the Guardian reported... In striking language, the draft United Nations resolution authorizes naval vessels of any U.N. member state to inspect North Korean ships suspected of carrying banned cargo and to use "all necessary measures to carry out such inspections," the Guardian reported. The Guardian noted the implications of such a resolution would be far-reaching, since any attempt to board or divert a North Korean vessel could trigger an exchange of fire... http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Trump-United-Nations-North-Korea-blockade/2017/09/09/id/812627/?ns_mail_uid=29878495&ns_mail_job=1752782_09102017&s=al&dkt_nbr=010102zj7ufw.
Democrat Trickery Bringing
DREAM Amnesty Up For Vote In ONE WEEK
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Nancy Pulosi said the Democrats planned to “strike while the iron is hot” in her gloating address following their surprise agreement with President Trump on the debt ceiling, budget continuing resolution and hurricane relief package. She wasn’t kidding... On Thursday House Democrats, led by Luis “the Roach” Gutierrez and his fellow Latino supremacists in the Hispanic Caucus, filed a discharge petition to begin the trickery that could ultimately lead to a vote on the so-called DREAM Act. With President Trump having already signaled his support and demonstrated he’s willing to side with Democrats it just might pass the House. Then it would be up to Mitch “White Flag” McConnell to show some backbone to stop it. The pro-invasion Democrats once again seems to be running the show in the swamp and holding the advantage... http://rickwells.us/democrat-trickery-dream-amnesty/.

Trump Dumps the Do-Nothing Congress
by Pat Buchanan
{townhall.com} ~ Donald Trump is president today because he was seen as a doer not a talker. Among the most common compliments paid him in 2016 was, "At least he gets things done!"
And it was exasperation with a dithering GOP Congress, which had failed to enact his or its own agenda, that caused Trump to pull the job of raising the debt ceiling away from Republican contractors Ryan & McConnell, and give it to Pulosi & clown-Schumer.
Hard to fault Trump. Over seven months, Congress showed itself incapable of repealing liar-nObamacare, though the GOP promised this as its first priority in three successive elections.
Returning to D.C. after five weeks vacation, with zero legislation enacted, Speaker Paul Ryan and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell were facing a deadline to raise the debt ceiling and fund the government.
Failure to do so would crash the markets, imperil the U.S. bond rating, and make America look like a deadbeat republic.
Families and businesses do this annually. Yet, every year, it seems, Congress goes up to the precipice of national default before authorizing the borrowing to pay the bills Congress itself has run up.
To be sure, Trump only kicked this year's debt crisis to mid-December.
Before year's end, he and Congress will also have to deal with an immigration crisis brought on by his cancellation of the liar-nObama administration's amnesty for the "Dreamers" now vulnerable to deportation.
He will have to get Congress to fund his Wall, enact tax reform and finance the repair and renewal of our infrastructure, or have his first year declared a failure.
We are likely looking at a Congressional pileup, pre-Christmas, from which Trump will have to call on Chuck clown-Schumer and Nancy Pulosi, again, to extricate him and his party.
The question that now arises: Has the president concluded that working with the GOP majorities alone cannot get him where he needs to go to make his a successful presidency?
Having cut a deal with Democrats for help with the debt ceiling, will Trump seek a deal with Democrats on amnesty for the "Dreamers," in return for funding for border security? Trump seemed to be signaling receptivity to the idea this week.
Will he give up on free-trade Republicans to work with Democrats to protect U.S. jobs and businesses from predator traders like China?
Will he cut a deal with Hill Democrats on which infrastructure projects should be funded first? Will he seek out compromise with Democrats on whose taxes should be cut and whose retained?
We could be looking at a seismic shift in national politics, with Trump looking to centrist and bipartisan coalitions to achieve as much of his agenda as he can. He could collaborate with Federalist Society Republicans on justices and with economic-nationalist Democrats on tariffs.
But the Congressional gridlock that exhausted the president's patience may prove more serious than a passing phase. The Congress of the United States, whose powers were delineated in the late 18th century, may simply not be an institution suited to the 21st.
A century ago, Congress ceded to the Federal Reserve its right "to coin money and regulate the value thereof." It has yielded to the third branch, the Supreme Court, the power to invent new rights, as in Roe v. Wade. Its power to "regulate commerce with foreign nations" has been assumed by an executive branch that negotiates the trade treaties, leaving Congress to say yea or nay.
Congress alone has the power to declare war. But recent wars have been launched by presidents over Congressional objection, some without consultation. We are close to a second major war in Korea, the first of which, begun in 1950, was never declared by the Congress, but declared by Harry Truman to be a "police action."
In the age of the internet and cable TV, the White House is seen as a locus of decision and action, while Capitol Hill takes months to move. Watching Congress, the word torpor invariably comes to mind, which one Webster's Dictionary defines as "a state of mental and motor inactivity with partial or total insensibility."
Result: In a recent survey, 72 percent of Americans expressed high confidence in the military; 12 percent said the same of Congress.
The members of Congress the TV cameras reward with air time are most often mavericks like RINO-John McCain, Lindsay Graham and RINO-Jeff Flake, who will defy a president the media largely detest.
At the onset of the post-Cold War era, some contended that democracy was the inevitable future of mankind. But autocracy is holding its own. Russia, China, India, Turkey, Egypt come to mind.
If democracy, as Freedom House contends, is in global retreat, one reason may be that, in our new age, legislatures, split into hostile blocs checkmating one another, cannot act with the dispatch impatient peoples now demand of their rulers.
In the days of Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, Congress was a rival to even strong presidents. Those days are long gone.
