Dems Say Trump Must Meet Demands
Or Face Senate Slowdown
by Kerry Picket
{dailycaller.com} ~ Democrats continued their efforts to slow down business in the Senate Thursday in order to pressure the Trump Justice Department to appoint a special prosecutor for the Russia investigation and to give into other demands... Senate Minority Leader Chuck clown-Schumer went to the floor and demanded that Attorney General Jeff Sessions not be involved in the search for former FBI Director James Comey’s replacement. “Attorney General Sessions, who had to recuse himself from the Russia investigation, played a significant role in firing the man who was leading it. Not only that, the Attorney General is now reportedly leading the search to replace Mr. Comey,” clown-Schumer said. “He’s helping select the next FBI Director who will be in charge of an investigation that he cannot oversee. What an irony.”. The hell with clown-Schumer and the dems. http://dailycaller.com/2017/05/11/dems-say-trump-must-meet-demands-or-face-senate-shutdown/.

Thrown Back In Their Faces
by Onan Coca and Jeff Dunetz
{lidblog.com} ~ President Trump has been dealing with the fallout of his firing of FBI Director James Comey almost nonstop since Tuesday and you can tell that he’s getting tired of the attacks... The president released a series of tweets damning the Democrat hypocrisy and reminding them that they’ve been calling for Comey’s ouster for MONTHS. On Wednesday evening the President issued his sternest and funniest condemnation yet. He tweeted out a video showing various Democrat leaders ON VIDEO all calling for an end to Comey’s time at the FBI.

North Korea Threatens China;
CIA Increases Monitoring
by Alice Greene
{punchingbagpost.com} ~ China is inarguably North Korea’s most important trade partner and most powerful ally... Earlier this year, China suspended coal imports from North Korea in response to growing pressure from President Trump to help the US quell Kim Jong-un’s aggression and resolve the nuclear standoff. China has also used state media to increase the pressure on Pyongyang to halt its missile tests. “China will not allow its northeastern region to be contaminated by North Korea’s nuclear activities,” announced the nationalist tabloid Global Times. In recent days, the publication has also warned that China would strike back “at any side that crosses the red line” and would enact an oil embargo if North Korea conducts another missile test...http://punchingbagpost.com/north-korea-threatens-china-cia-increases-monitoring.
Are Islamists Conducting a
New Jihad against the West?
The skyline of Dubai.
by William DiPuccio
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ About four decades have passed since Sheikh 'Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Humaid (1908-1981), ex-Chief Justice of Saudi Arabia, published his lengthy, impassioned, essay on jihad... This essay, still available on the Internet, is the only one that Saudi religious scholars chose to include with the Noble Quran -- a modern, nine volume, English translation of the Quran, which includes ancient commentary. A cursory reading of Sheikh bin Humaid's essay should forever silence any fantasies regarding traditional Islam's peaceful disposition toward the non-Muslim world. As the Saudi publisher says in his prefatory note: "But, as regards the reward and blessing, there is one deed which is very great in comparison to all the acts of worship and all the good deeds -- and that is Jihad!"... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10335/jihad-against-westThe skyline of Dubai.

{sharylattkisson.com} ~ Ten months after questions were first raised, there’s no evidence that Donald Trump “colluded” with Russia, according to prominent Democrats and Republicans who have reviewed information or received briefings.
It’s too early to call it a closed case, because various investigations into Russian influence in the 2016 campaign and links to Trump associates continue. That reportedly includes probes by the FBI, Republican-led congressional committees, and the military. The FBI has largely stayed mum on its work. But yesterday, President Trump claimed James Comey, as FBI Director, personally told him he was not under investigation.
It’s significant that no evidence of wrongdoing by Trump has publicly surfaced long after multiple players in politics and media began insisting there was collusion. Among the allegations of treasonous behavior was a “dossier” peddled to the media and published in January. It made lurid claims about Trump ties to Russia, involving bribery and prostitution. But it turns out the dossier wasn’t an intelligence report; it was campaign opposition research compiled by Trump political opponents.
This week, Former Defense Intelligence Agency chief James Clapper told Congress that the sourcing trail of the dossier was so poor, that the entire file was excluded from in an intelligence community assessment in January.
Yet despite the persistent dearth of evidence, there’s been no widespread backtracking by those who have made claims against President Trump to date.
The Flynn Question
Whether President Trump conspired with Russia in some way is separate from questions about some of his associates, including former national security adviser, Lt. Col. Michael Flynn.
Among other matters, Flynn is under fire for:
*Having discussions with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. that he didn’t disclose to President Trump or Vice President Mike Pence (not inherently against the law, but an ethics question and the reason he was let go from the Trump administration, according to experts); and*Allegedly failing to seek permission from or disclosing to the U.S. government his $67,000 in payments from Russian organizations (a possible violation of federal law, according to members of Congress).
A Flynn spokesman has said he informed the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) before and after giving a paid speech in Moscow. DIA spokesman Jim Kudla confirmed that Flynn reported prior to his trip “in accordance with standard security clearance procedures.”
The problem with the media, politicians, commentators and pundits getting ahead of the evidence or contradicting it entirely, is that it erodes trust in the accuracy of information. If and when real evidence emerges, the public may mistrust what they read and hear.
Here are 12 public statements about lack of evidence by those who have reviewed evidence or been briefed, followed by a sampling of 10 claims against Trump. What were the claims based on if there was no evidence yet?
