scum-HOLDER May Run For President To
FIX DAMAGE TRUMP Has Done To
liar-nOBAMA COMMUNISM
by rickwells.us
{ rickwells.us } ~ scum-Eric Holder, the guy who, in tandem with Hussein liar-nObama, launched the race conflict campaign in Ferguson Missouri... and thereafter as a key component of their divide and conquer political ambitions, indicated he’s interested in running for president in 2020. The groveling Washington Post sycophant asked the Fast and Furious gun-runner, “Why do you feel at least a flicker in the belly to even think about running for president?” The communist scum-Holder replies with a disingenuous, “Because I care a great deal about this country.” He then goes on to equate getting paid handsomely and receiving a government pension with volunteer or charitable work, saying, “I’ve spent the vast majority of my professional life in public service.” No, he’s been helping himself at the public trough, there’s a difference... Who in their right mind would vote for this scum anyway. https://rickwells.us/holder-president-trump-obama/.Jonathan Winer, Chris Steele’s Inside Man at
State Dept, Was Exec at Firm Working for
liar-Clinton Global Initiative
by Aaron Klein
{ breitbart.com } ~ Jonathan M. Winer, the liar-nObama State Department official who acknowledged regularly interfacing with the author of the controversial... largely discredited 35-page anti-Trump dossier, served as senior vice president of a firm that did extensive pro bono work for the liar-Clinton Global Initiative. After his name surfaced in news media reports related to probes by House Republicans into the dossier, Winer authored a Washington Post oped in which he conceded that while he was working at the State Department he exchanged documents and information with dossier author and former British spy Christopher Steele. Winer further acknowledged that while at the State Department, he shared anti-Trump material with Steele passed to him by longtime liar-Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal, whom Winer described as an “old friend.” Winer wrote that the material from Blumenthal – which Winer in turn gave to Steele – originated with Cody Shearer, who is a controversial figure long tied to various liar-Clinton scandals... http://www.breitbart.com/jerusalem/2018/02/26/jonathan-winer-chris-steeles-inside-man-state-dept-exec-firm-working-clinton-global-initiative/Trump faith adviser: We're

by ART MOORE
{ wnd.com } ~ Much has been made of the importance of Christian faith in the Trump administration... so why doesn’t the White House have a faith-based office as did the Barack liar-nObama and George W. Bush administrations, a reporter wanted to know at the White House briefing Tuesday. “I don’t think an office is what determines the faith of the administration,” replied White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders, noting the president and his staff meet regularly with faith advisers. “I think we actually have more people front and center speaking openly about their faith and advocating and helping build on that foundation than probably any previous administration has.”... http://www.wnd.com/2018/02/trump-faith-adviser-were-in-heart-of-policy-conversations/New Democrat Gun Law Strips
The Mask Off The Gun Control Movement
by streiff
{ redstate.com } ~ Any negotiation has to involve both sides in a dispute giving up something. If that doesn’t happen... then what you have is unconditional surrender. That latter course is the one being pursued by a lot of conservatives who come up with more and more things to give away to the gun-grabbers. To date absolutely no one on the gun control side of the equation has made a “common sense” counteroffer, like, for instance, I give up bump stocks and 100-round drum magazines for my Glock* and they give me universal reciprocity of concealed carry permits. Nope, the bargain is always how much of our right to keep and bear arms we should give away. The gun control folks have developed all kinds of tactics for this. They go after extended magazines. They invent terms like “assault weapon” which defy description. They simply deny, deny, deny... https://www.redstate.com/streiff/2018/02/27/new-democrat-gun-law-strips-mask-off-gun-control-movement/?utm_source=rsmorningbriefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl .
No, America Does Not
Lead the World in Mass Shootings
by Warner Todd Huston
{ lidblog.com } ~ With the nation still embroiled in the political discussion over the shooting in Parkland, Florida... one of the left’s common refrains is that the U.S. leads the world in mass shootings. This “fact” is used to advocate for an end to our Second Amendment rights. But is it a fact, really? Well, it turns out, it isn’t true at all. The U.S. does not lead the world in mass shootings. A leftist who constantly uses the claim that the U.S. is the most dangerous place in the world to live to further his political agenda is far left U.S. Representative Ted Lieu of California... https://lidblog.com/lead-mass-shootings/ .

Jared Kushner's Security Clearance Has
Been Downgraded, Along With Other
White House Staffers
{ townhall.com } ~ Senior advisor to President Donald Trump, Jared Kusher -- who is also the president's son-in-law -- has officially lost the ability to review sensitive classified information after failing to obtain a permanent security clearance.
Speculation surrounding whether Kushner's permanent security clearance, in addition to temporary clearances held by dozens of White House Staffers, would come through has been swirling for weeks. Last week President Trump said it was up to Chief of Staff John Kelly to determine whether his son-in-law would continue to review classified information.
“That’ll be up to General Kelly. General Kelly respects Jared a lot and General Kelly will make that call. I won’t make that call,” Trump said last week during a press conference with the Australian Prime Minister at the White House.
Previously, Kushner had access to President Trump's daily intelligence briefings and reports. Moving forward, he will not. Ivanka Trump, married to Kusher, has also been working at the White House on a temporary clearance.
More on the background from POLITICO:
The White House’s handling of clearances came under scrutiny after reports that Kelly had been aware that former staff secretary Rob Porter, who was accused by his two ex-wives of verbal and physical abuse, did not have a full security clearance in part because of a previous protective order granted during one of his divorces.
The scandal prompted Kelly to crack down on staffers working without full clearance, more than a year into the Trump administration.
In a five-page document released last week, Kelly ordered a series of initiatives aimed at bolstering protocols.
“The American people deserve a White House staff that meets the highest standards and that has been carefully vetted — especially those who work closely with the president or handle sensitive national security information,” Kelly said in the memo. “We should — and in the future, must — do better.”
The White House argues Kushner will continue to fulfill an important role at the White House, regardless of his access level to classified information.
