Democrat Introduces Bill To Drain
The Swamp, Supporting Trump
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Talk about bi-partisan support, Congressman Peter DeFazio, an Oregon Democrat, introduced a bill on the House floor on Thursday called the Drain the Swamp Act... In introducing the legislation, Rep DeFazio said, “My bill would make violations of President-elect Trump’s recently announced revolving door lobby ban punishable by law.” DeFazio continued, “He said that he’ll bar political appointees from lobbying for five years after they serve in his administration and permanently from lobbying for a foreign government. Unfortunately his proposal lacks any enforcement mechanism.”... http://rickwells.us/democrat-introduces-bill-drain-swamp-supporting-trump/

Architect of CIA Enhanced Interrogation:
‘We Interrogate Terrorists Like
That to Stop Attacks’
by Tom Rogan
CIA operated secret prison from building's basement
{freebeacon.com} ~ Following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, psychologist and U.S. Air Force veteran Dr. James Mitchell was called back to national service. Along with a partner, Bruce Jessen, he was tasked with developing the CIA’s enhanced interrogation techniques, or EITs... Designed to elicit time-sensitive intelligence from hardened al Qaeda leaders, the EITs later became immersed in controversy. In 2014, Senate Democrats released a report accusing Mitchell of torturing suspects with EITs and producing no results. In his new book, Enhanced Interrogation, Mitchell offers his own testimony on the EITs. He argues that the techniques were critical in saving the lives of Americans and others. The Washington Free Beacon interviewed Mitchell on Thursday to discuss his new book... http://freebeacon.com/national-security/architect-cia-enhanced-interrogation-interrogate-terrorists-stop-attacks/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=7c4bf5ee7d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_09&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-7c4bf5ee7d-45611665

GOP Rep Slams Army for Renewed Probe
Into ‘American Hero’ Who Killed
Taliban Bomb Maker
by Morgan Chalfant
{freebeacon.com} ~ A Republican congressman is slamming the U.S. Army for reopening its investigation into the death of a suspected Taliban bomb maker in Afghanistan in 2010... A five-year investigation could not substantiate the Army’s allegation that former Maj. Mathew Golsteyn violated the law of armed conflict after the former Green Beret allegedly disclosed to the CIA during a job interview that he he killed an insurgent believed to be a bomb maker in Marjah. However, the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command recently reopened the investigation after Golsteyn acknowledged that he killed the Taliban bomb maker during an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier in November... http://freebeacon.com/issues/gop-rep-slams-army-renewed-probe-american-hero-killed-taliban-bomb-maker/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=7c4bf5ee7d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_09&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-7c4bf5ee7d-45611665

U.S. deploying 200 more troops
to Syria to help fight ISIS
by foxnews.com
{foxnews.com} ~ U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Saturday that as many as 200 more American troops are being sent to Syria to help Kurdish and Arab fighters capture the Islamic State group's key stronghold of Raqqa... The extra troops will include special operations forces and are in addition to 300 U.S. troops already authorized for the effort to recruit, organize, train and advise local Syrian forces to combat IS. Addressing a security conference in Bahrain, Carter also took gentle jabs at U.S. Middle East partners for failing to provide more military muscle in the broader campaign to defeat IS and counter extremism...

Look Who’s Behind Scheme to STEAL
Trump’s Electoral College Votes
{angrypatriotmovement.com} ~ Liberals are continuing to illustrate what sore losers they truly are. They are not only unwilling to accept the outcome of the election, they want to steal victory away from Donald Trump – and by extension, the American people... Harvard law professor and Liberal activist, Larry Lessig just announced he is joining forces with a California law firm to provide “free and confidential” legal services to any Electoral College member who will vote AGAINST President-Elect Donald Trump in violation of their state law. Lessig has ties to George Soros! Yep, you read that right. A well-educated licensed attorney is urging Americans to break the law. AND he is willing to fight the legal woes they will be forced to endure after committing this unpatriotic act, by giving them pro bono (free) legal aid... http://www.angrypatriotmovement.com/scheme-to-steal-trump-electors/

It’s Time to Chill About Global Warming
by Susan Stamper Brown
{townhall.com} ~ Global warming activists won’t be satisfied until the Earth freezes over and nothing survives.
They relentlessly use obnoxious pictures of polar bears floating on melting sea ice to guilt people into believing we’re to blame. They chose the wrong animal as their “poster child.” Polar bears aren’t cuddly little snowballs who sip on colas all day and use a hunting rifle to compassionately put their prey out of misery when it’s snack time. Instead, polar bears use ambush tactics and sharp claws and teeth to feast on cute little seals they sometimes eat alive while kicking and screaming. They also snack on whales activists claim they want to save.
Watching former Vice President Al Gore waddle his way around Trump Tower the other day reminded me about how long this guilting’s been going on. For decades now, we’ve been told that computer models predict that a catastrophic ice-free Arctic Ocean is around the bend. In 2009, Gore said some computer models suggest “there is a 75 percent chance that the entire North Polar ice cap during some of the summer months could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years.”
Umm, didn’t happen. It seems the computer models were 75 percent incorrect. Maybe they were the same ones used to predict Brexit and the 2016 presidential election. Whatever the case, we’re told it’s “settled science.” I thought scientists were skeptics who settled on the idea that true science is never settled.
Sure, the U.S. ended November on a warm note, but the crazy-cold minus 40 degrees weather my state just sent south will surely make this month a December to remember. You’re welcome.
About now, a little global warming sounds nice as I dream of white sandy beaches, not the white Christmas outside my window.
Alarmists practically lose their minds when it warms in Alaska like it did this summer, but it wasn’t bikini weather, considering in June, the Coast Guard had to rescue some walrus hunters from their skiff stuck in sea ice. Thankfully, it warmed enough to make the early June king salmon run one of the best runs in years, which, in turn, helped the bears.
Researchers say the two very cold and wet years of 2008 through 2010 messed up salmon runs and berry season, causing a decline in Kodiak Brown bears. This year was better. The Juneau Empire reports the bear cub population increased because warmer temperatures gave bears the blessing of early and abundant salmon runs and berry crops.
The warmth helped our declining caribou population. Predation rates rise when caribou make it to spring looking like a bag of bones because their food source is scarce. Alarmists freak out over longer summers and shorter winters which give caribou extra time for easier eating. Biologists say the caribou they examined this fall looked fatter and healthier than previous years and calves were the heaviest they’ve been in the eight years they’ve been weighing them, which gives them a better chance of survival this winter, which is trending colder.
Oh, about those polar bears. An intriguing article, “The truth about polar bears,” in Canadian Geographic says there’s been a “slow but steady increase” in the polar bear population since the 1970s. It says some thriving polar bears “have experienced ice-free summers for thousands of years” while others deal with “pack ice so thick that it’s often impossible” to hunt seals, so warming “could potentially make hunting easier.” In Davis Strait, where sea ice is “declining dramatically,” the polar bear population “is an eye-popping 233 percent bigger” than 40 years ago.
So, what gives?
What if man has no control over what happens on the planet but the God who created it does? I believe he’s the one that causes occasional warming to help his animals survive. Maybe it’s time for alarmists to chill, stop guilting and trust God more.
