AG Sessions To Bone-Gnawing Cur Harris,
“If I Don’t Qualify It You’ll Accuse Me Of Lying”
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Referring to Senator Kamala Harris as a nasty hag is complimentary language when taken against the context of her actions... She qualifies for a much more profane two-word description that rhymes with both components of the “witch hunt” that she is currently engaged in along with her equally vile Democrat comrades. Senator Sessions is a good guy, an honest man, and as such is in some ways at a disadvantage when going up against the do anything, say anything, combative smear merchants such as Harris. He still manages to hold his own, showing himself to be a man of character and Harris, that her typical overly aggressive, hostile “thank God I’m not married to that” self. Since they all know there is nothing legitimate to the Russia investigation, it’s clear her purpose in being there and in grilling the Attorney General is to diminish him publicly, force him to make a commitment such as the disastrous recusal under duress, badger him into perjuring himself somehow or into a statement that could later be intimated as not truthful and dishonest or of bad-intent...I really don't like this Kamala. She will attack any conservative at will. http://rickwells.us/ag-sessions-bone-gnawing-cur-harris-qualify-accuse-lying/
Sessions Roars As Admin Finally Fights Back –
Calls Out Democrat Lies, Innuendos, Leaks
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Senator Ron “Spit-Spray” Wyden (D-OR) took refuge in Oregon, where it rains a lot and people often don’t realize he is the cause of the soaking they’re receiving during conversations... On this day Attorney General Sessions was a safe distance away, leaving the only one’s truly being in danger of getting soaked as the photographers on the floor. Some jobs are worse than others. Wyden begins his attack on the Attorney General with a sanctimonious thanking of the committee chairman for holding the hearing in the public setting, so that the American people would be able to see what was going on. The obstructionist Democrat hypocritically says, “I believe the American people have had it with stonewalling.” We’ve had it alright – though stonewalling isn’t even a consideration. He then goes into a tantrum over the consequences of public hearings and the existence of executive privilege, as if his rant would somehow pressure AG Sessions to divulge secrets. If he were to do that, even inadvertently, Wyden and his pack of wild dogs would be all over him, relentlessly attacking from all angles...Wyden from Oregon is an idiot. The Dems has and always stonewall. http://rickwells.us/sessions-roars-admin-finally-fights-back-calls-democrat-lies-innuendos-leaks/

Comey admitted single
Trump leak, but were there others?
by foxnews.com
{foxnews.com} ~ President Trump’s legal team may be prepared to show a trail of leaks to The New York Times by former FBI Director James Comey – dating back to at least March... in a pair of complaints set to be filed to the Justice Department inspector general and Senate Judiciary Committee, a source close to the team told Fox News. An independent Fox News review of The New York Times’ reporting dating back to January reveals a host of stories sourced from top FBI and DOJ officials – or those privy to their conversations – that either paint Comey in a positive light or push a message he was unable to personally disclose. Though Comey told the Senate Judiciary Committee on May 3 he’d never been -- or directed another FBI official to be -- an anonymous source for news reports about the Trump and liar-Hillary Clinton investigations, the then-FBI chief did not deny orchestrating leaks using, for instance... http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/06/12/comey-admitted-single-trump-leak-but-were-there-others.html

U.S. Power Companies Warned ‘Nightmare’
Cyber Weapon Already Causing Blackouts
by Kevin Poulsen
{thesleuthjournal.com} ~ Technicians responded to the Pivnichna substation and took the circuit breakers off computer control, restoring power a little after 1 a.m. It was only the second confirmed case of a computer attack triggering an electrical blackout... and compared to the first, 12 months earlier—also in Ukraine—it was a fizzle, affecting far fewer customers and for a fraction of the time. In the six months since the Kiev attack, security researchers have wondered why the hackers even bothered with such a fleeting disruption and speculated that someone was using Ukraine as a testing ground for a more serious attack. Now that dark assessment seems to be confirmed. Researchers at two security companies on Monday announced they’ve finally found and analyzed the malware that triggered the Kiev blackout, and it’s far worse than imagined. The computer code, dubbed “CrashOverride” by Maryland-based Dragos, and “Industroyer” by ESET in Slovakia, is a genuine cyber weapon that can map out a power station’s control network and, with minimal human guidance, issue malicious commands directly to critical equipment... http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/u-s-power-warned-cyber-weapon-blackouts/.

U.S. Muslims outraged
by protests against Islamic law
by Art Moore
{wnd.com} ~ If the Council on American-Islamic Relations is in the United States simply to protect the civil rights of Muslims according to the law of the land, why would it object to protests against the implementation of a religious law that ultimately conflicts with the U.S. Constitution?
That’s the question that arises in response to CAIR’s outrage against the rallies organized by the group Act for America in more than 20 U.S. cities Saturday dubbed “March Against Shariah, March for Human Rights.”
Act for America said the event was in “memory and support of victims of FGM (female genital mutilation), honor killings and violence toward the LGBTQ community in the name of religion, culture and foreign law.”
But the executive director of CAIR’s Houston office, Mustafaa Carroll, contended in an interview that the premise for the rallies is “propaganda saying the Muslim community is here to take over the country, subvert the Constitution and implement Shariah law as the law of the land.”
“There’s nothing further from the truth. I have never heard a Muslim say it, intimate it, want to do it, etcetera,” he said.
“But this is all propaganda, and that propaganda has found some traction with a lot of groups who are anti-Muslim, anti-xenophobic (sic), racist or whatever you want to call them.”
Despite Carroll’s assertions, CAIR itself – according to FBI wiretap evidence – was founded as a front for the Muslim Brotherhood to carry out the Brotherhood’s stated objective to replace the U.S. Constitution with Islamic law.
Further, several of CAIR’s top leaders are on the record saying the same.
CAIR founder Omar Ahmad, as WND reported in 2003 and in 2006, told a gathering of Muslims in Northern California in 1998 that they were in America not to assimilate but to help assert Islam’s rule over the country. CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said in a 1993 interview with the Minneapolis Star Tribune that he hoped to U.S. would become Islamic through “education.”
And in a 2003 interview with Michael Medved, Hooper clearly declared: “If Muslims ever become a majority in the United States, it would be safe to assume that they would want to replace the U.S. Constitution with Islamic law, as most Muslims believe that God’s law is superior to man-made law.”
Ihsan Bagby of CAIR’s Washington office has said that Muslims “can never be full citizens of this country,” referring to the United States, “because there is no way we can be fully committed to the institutions and ideologies of this country.”
WND reported a poll commissioned in May 2015 by the Center for Security Policy showed that 51 percent of American Muslims preferred to have their own Shariah courts outside of the legal system ruled by the U.S. Constitution. And nearly a quarter believed the use of violent jihad was justified in establishing Shariah.
Nevertheless, in an interview with MSNBC’s “A.M. Joy” about the Saturday rallies, Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., the first Muslim elected to Congress, insisted “no one is actually trying to enact Shariah in America.”
“This is nothing more than a tactic to scare Americans about their Muslim neighbors,” the congressman said.
"He said President Trump is creating a “culture of hate” in which “intolerance is taking over.”
The host, Joy Reid, commenting that Act for America founder Brigitte Gabriel “has some sort of fantasy of a Muslim takeover,” asked Ellison if he was disturbed by Gabriel’s recent invitation to the White House.
“It’s like playing ‘Birth of a Nation’ in the White House, as President Wilson did one time,” he said.
President Trump, Ellison said, “has given a stamp of approval to a lot of haters.”
‘Hate groups’
Many news reports on the rally cited the controversial Southern Poverty Law Center’s designation of Act for America as a hate group. It’s a determination many regard as dubious because the organization smears many mainstream groups and individuals as “haters” simply for supporting the traditional definition of marriage, including Dr. Ben Carson.
The director of CAIR’s Minnesota branch, Jaylani Hussein, spoke out against the rallies at a press conference his organization held Friday.
“Hate groups like Act for America and the hate rhetoric that is now increased in our society have real, serious consequences,” he said.
In an interview with WND, however, Gabriel pointed out that Islamic law has entered Western court rooms, citing the fact that 143 cases in 22 states have allowed Shariah law as a defense.
Female genital mutilation and honor killings also are a serious problem in the U.S., she said.
The Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta estimated 513,000 girls in the United States in 2017 are at risk of female genital mutilation or have already been victims of it.
“Who would have thought that in America today we were going to be discussing or dealing with such a barbaric practice that people think is only practiced in the backwoods of Africa and the Middle East?” Gabriel asked.
She said honor killings continue in American communities.
“These are girls and women who are killed by a male in their family for simple things such as asking for a divorce, wanting to wear makeup, wanting to go out on a date or wanting to go out to a cafe with male and female friends,” she said.
Responding to critics who accuse the March Against Shariah of being anti-Muslim, Gabriel pointed out there are Muslims who have joined the cause, including a former imam who helped organize one of the rallies.
She said four practicing Muslims spoke at rallies.
“The Muslim that organized our Atlanta rally was named Muhammad, and he’s the one who pulled it all together. We had acid-attack survivors who spoke at our rallies. We had Miriam Ibrahim speak at our rally in Virginia Beach.”
Ibrahim was the woman sentenced to death in Sudan for converting to Christianity and forced to give birth while shackled in prison. Fierce international pressure eventually led to her release.
“We welcome people to our country from all over the place, from different backgrounds, different religions, different sexual orientations, whatever it is,” Gabriel said.
“I am an immigrant to America. But we want people who come to the United States to abide by our rules, obey our Constitution, adopt our culture and become part of the American fabric and live in a way that is compatible with our Western democracy and respect for human rights.”
She said that is clearly not happening.
“We do not want people coming here genitally mutilating young American girls, killing American girls in the name of honor or teaching the hatred and encouraging the killing of gays and lesbians, etcetera,” she said.
