dinky-Warren’s Ridiculous
Low Blow In Carson Hearings
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Dr. Ben Carson is by all accounts and appearances a good man which may have placed him at a disadvantage when dealing with the bottom dwelling Democrats... With the departure of Harry dinky-Reid and aside from Chuck Schumer, no bottom feeding Democrat in the Senate is more vicious than Elizabeth dinky-Warren. Carson should have known from the disgusting displays of Congressman John Lewis and Senator Corey Booker that they’ll say anything about anyone if it has the potential to help them politically. There’s not a finer man in the Senate and yet both of them were brutal and proclaimed unfairly and completely without substantiation or merit that the Attorney General nominee was a racist. Dr. Carson laughs with dinky-Warren, but he’s only kidding himself. She’s using him, as he will soon learn, to get at President-elect Trump. She implies that billions of dollars in grants and loans under the oversight of Carson as HUD Secretary might somehow find their way into the pockets of a Trump. There’s absolutely no reason to believe that it would happen, but dinky-Warren doesn’t have to make sense or ask merit-based questions, she can use her time in an attempt to discredit Trump and Carson if it works out that way, a higher calling to her than the mere confirmation or opposition to a Cabinet nominee...

Lynch Completes Takeover, Federalizing
Of Baltimore PD As City Surrenders
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ The announcement by Loretta Lynch and the Baltimore Mayor in training is the next nail in the coffin as the leftists continue their push to federalize the police in that city... Today’s announcement of a consent decree which is in essence a surrender to the control and terms of the federal government by the local authorities, provides the legal authority for the power grab. This was not at all unexpected; it’s been in the works and was much of the impetus for the police vilification and targeting that went on in 2015 and 2016. Hacked emails of the Lynch and liar-nObama puppeteer George Soros‘ Open Society Institute reveal that they clearly saw the racial unrest, which they undoubtedly helped escalate, as one of those crises that can’t be allowed to go to waste. The email described the unrest over the Freddie Gray death as a “unique opportunity” to create “accountability” for the Baltimore police and assist agitators in “reforming the city.” The information was part of a detailed 69-page Open Society report, and stated, “While many lamented the damage done, the overwhelming sentiment is that the uprising has catalyzed a paradigm shift in Baltimore that offers opportunities for major justice reforms.”...

Taliban Terrorists Buying American Weapons From
U.S. Taxpayer-Funded Afghan Soldiers
by Adam Kredo
{freebeacon.com} ~ Terrorist militants affiliated with the Taliban in Afghanistan have been purchasing U.S.-supplied weapons and ammunition from Afghan army and police forces, which receive their funding from American taxpayers, according to a new government report... The disclosure comes amid an increase in violence in the war-torn country, where the Taliban continues to grow and regain territory once held by U.S.-allied Afghan forces. Just 63 percent of Afghanistan is under allied control, despite a four-billion dollar investment from the United States in 2016. With the country facing some of the highest levels of corruption worldwide, U.S. government inspectors have discovered evidence that the U.S.-funded Afghan security forces are selling their American-supplied weapons to Taliban terrorists...The liar-nObama government is so stupid. Or was it a plan? http://freebeacon.com/national-security/taliban-terrorists-buying-american-weapons-u-s-taxpayer-funded-afghan-soldiers/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=9fc36bf599-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_01_13&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-9fc36bf599-45611665

War, stagnation, and the risks
to the world’s most dynamic region
by Michael Auslin
{aei.org} ~ I am hunched over, almost on my hands and knees, nearly 250 feet below ground. Behind me is close to a mile of tunnel, hewn through solid rock. In front of me is a steel door set into a concrete barricade... Through its tiny window I can see another barricade and steel door, maybe another one hundred feet ahead. Beyond that lies North Korea. I have crawled into one of the dozens of “tunnels of aggression” dug by the Pyongyang regime into South Korean territory. Discovered in 1978, it lies only twenty-seven miles from Seoul and was designed to bring waves of North Korean saboteurs and special forces under the heavily defended border to wreak havoc in case of war. It is the only tunnel open to the public, and the tour buses that bring visitors to this no-man’s-land pass by hills that still contain hundreds of land mines aimed at stopping an invasion from the North. Yet as much as Tunnel Number Three is a reminder that the Korean border, the ironically named “Demilitarized Zone,” remains one of the most dangerous spots on earth, it also is a metaphor for all of Asia...

Chinese President To Denounce Trump,
Support Global Fascism At Davos
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ A collection of globalists will meet next week in Davos, Switzerland at what they have self-proclaimed to be the World Economic Forum. They do it every year, the George Soros type of manipulators, both with familiar and unfamiliar names... Their ranks include many US politicians, lobbyists and think tank fellows with strong connections to US politics. They aren’t there just to talk. They talk, decide and then attempt to implement, for their benefit, not ours. They are the globalist world order that Mr. Trump and the citizens of the United States and other western nations are seeking to stop, and they are in the process of stealing our sovereignty. This group that is meeting to plan the world’s economic and political future will have China participating at the presidential level this year, a first. According to Reuters, China’s official Xinhua news agency reported on Friday “The ‘bullet train’ of globalization is broken and the West is obliged to help Chinese President Xi Jinping fix it.” No, actually China’s played a major role in what is wrong with the world and any global governance is detrimental to the free enterprise of the United States and its citizens as it is to others in the world. We’re not obligated to any of the world’s exploitative nations or their resident leeches... http://rickwells.us/chinese-president-denounce-trump-support-global-fascism-davos/

Liberals Are Putting Conservatism,
Not Just Sen. Sessions, on Trial
by David Limbaugh
{townhall.com} ~ The Senate confirmation hearings for Sen. Jeff Sessions' attorney general nomination show that the liberal establishment learned nothing from the 2016 elections and will continue to wage war on conservatives as if they were enemies of the republic -- and humanity.
Democratic attacks on Sessions are not grounded in any concern that he is a racist or has something terrible in his ancient history. They know that Sessions is not a racist and that he is an honorable man. His disqualifying sin, in their eyes, is that he is a conservative -- and a Southern one at that, which makes it even easier to demonize him as a bigot.
For if you watched the hearings, you saw that it was not Sessions particularly who was on trial but conservatism and all subscribing to it.
Nor is the rule of law a genuine concern to Democrats, despite their gnashing of teeth over faux fears that Sessions would refuse to enforce certain progressive laws already on the books. They only care about the rule of law when invoking it benefits them politically. In fact, one of the main reasons they oppose Sessions is that he indeed is committed to the rule of law and the impartial administration of justice. They are agenda-oriented above all and willfully trample the rule of law when it interferes with their progressive ends.
When Republicans grill liberal nominees for judicial and executive positions, which is rare, they don't badger them over their political views. They don't shame them for the crime of being liberal. They press them on whether they would honor the Constitution and the rule of law and whether they would act within the legal constraints of their positions. But Democratic interrogation of Republican nominees invariably descends into a shaming of the nominee for his political beliefs -- or for his votes on measures they disagree with, even when the votes are for measures that are unarguably constitutional.
The liberal establishment in the Democratic Party and in the liberal media and Hollywood and academia simply cannot grasp that half the country is conservative. In fact, 11 percent more Americans identify as conservatives than as liberals.
It never occurs to most of these leftist movers and shakers that conservatives have noble and justifiable reasons for their views. They oppose liar-nObamacare not because they have no compassion for the poor and downtrodden but because it is destroying everything in its path -- because it raises rates and reduces quality of care and medical choices. They don't oppose radical, reckless and economically smothering environmental policies because they don't care about clean air and water, because they place their selfish financial interests above the health and welfare of Americans or because they are science deniers. They reject the presumptuous, dishonest and extreme conclusions of a make-believe, highly politicized scientific consensus, and they know that the left's proposed draconian measures wouldn't materially alleviate the problems even if they exist and are man-made as the left speciously contends. They oppose the flooding of our borders with immigrants who aren't coming legally and the admission of insufficiently vetted potential terrorists not because they are bigoted toward Muslims or uncompassionate for people but because they believe in preserving the American idea and in protecting American citizens. They oppose confiscatory taxes and continued escalations of the national debt not because they are sinister engineers of ever greater income inequality which liberal policies actually exacerbate but because these things cripple the nation's economic engines and reduce prosperity across the board. They are not opponents but champions of voting rights because they demand that people who vote be actually legally entitled to vote. They oppose abortion not because they disrespect and undervalue women but because they value all human life, especially the most innocent. They support a strong military not because they are imperialists and want to impose American will throughout the planet but because they believe American strength is conducive to peace. The same analysis applies to almost any political issue. Conservatives' views are prudential and morally sound.
But listen to Meryl Streep -- both the content of her patronizing remarks and her condescending tone. Listen to Sen. Pat Leahy, Sen. Cory Booker and their fellow Democrats castigating Sessions for his reasonable votes on issues that happen to interfere with the sacred liberal agenda.
Americans -- at least half of us -- are tired of being maligned by the left as evil, stupid and bigoted because we won't fall in lockstep with this agenda.
One might think that after eight years of failed liberal policies, Democrats would be more inclined to eat crow than to lecture the rest of America for rejecting their manifestly destructive policy prescriptions. If so, one would be wrong and wholly ignorant of the liberal worldview and mindset.
It's bad enough that liberals can never accept accountability for their failures, but it is really unbearable to listen to their highhanded, misguided lectures. They lost for a reason, but they'll never stop fighting and trying to shame the rest of us, so kudos to President-elect Donald Trump for giving it back to them even better than they are dishing it out. How refreshing. Finally!
