Rep Jordan First Exposed
Dirty Cop Mueller In FBI-IRS Scandal
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Rep Jim Jordan (R-OH) has known for a long time what a piece of trash Robert Mueller is... The video is documentation of part of that education process. Mueller is clearly covering up by playing dumb and using the standard excuses that lawbreaking officials always invoke when they need to hide from the truth by not answering a question. Mueller sounds surprised that Congressman Jordan would question him on the IRS case, and immediately ducks for cover behind the standard excuse of an “ongoing investigation.” The evasive FBI Director won’t even tell him how many agents are assigned to the case or the name of the lead agent. That might be because nobody is investigating it, they don’t want the truth to get out. Mueller was a dirty cop in 2013 too... https://rickwells.us/jordan-dirty-mueller-fbi-irs/.
US targets North Korea's chemical
weapons program with new sanctions
by Joel Gehrke
The Trump administration on Wednesday unveiled new sanctions aimed at North Korea's chemical weapons program... “We are sanctioning additional oil, shipping, and trading companies that continue to provide a lifeline to North Korea to fuel this regime’s nuclear ambitions and destabilizing activities,” said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. The sanctions underscored the Trump administration’s fears about China and Russia failing to implement United Nations crackdowns on North Korea, despite Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s efforts to lead an international pressure campaign to cripple the regime’s nuclear weapons program. But they also put a spotlight on the pariah state’s chemical weapons program, which has received less public attention but still troubles western officials... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/us-targets-north-koreas-chemical-weapons-program-with-new-sanctions/article/2646921?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert%20-%2001/24/18&utm_medium=email.
Senator Confirms Existence Of FBI
‘Secret Society,’ Says He Has Informant
by BENNY JOHNSON
{dailycaller.com} ~ Republican Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson told Fox News Tuesday that an “informant” confirmed the existence of an anti-Trump “secret society”... within the Department of Justice and FBI. House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy raised eyebrows Monday describing how FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page described a “secret society” that met off-site at the FBI. Strzok and Page, both of whom were involved in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into election interference, are being investigated for disparaging texts exchanged about President Trump. The existence of the texts gives further evidence to Republican claims that the Muller probe is biased against Trump... http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/23/ron-johnson-fbi-secret-society/?utm_medium=emailVIDEO at the site.

Did Mueller Help Cover Up
Connections Between Saudis And 9/11?
by ANDERS HAGSTROM
Special counsel Robert Mueller may have helped cover up connections between a Saudi family and the 9/11 terror attacks... according to Tuesday report from conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch. Court documents obtained by Judicial Watch show that as FBI director, Mueller was “likely involved” in releasing deceptive agency statements to cover up a connection between a Saudi Arabian family living in Florida and the 9/11 hijackers. The statements were tailored to discredit a 2011 story exposing an FBI investigation into the family, who lived in Sarasota, Fla. The investigation was also withheld from Congress, according to Judicial Watch. The FBI investigation into the Saudis came when news stories found that they had abruptly left the country two weeks before 9/11, reportedly leaving behind their cars, furniture, clothes, and other personal items... http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/23/mueller-9-11-saudi-cover-up/?utm_medium=email.
Tucker Stumps Albany
Mayor On Illegal Immigrants
by JULIA NISTA
{dailycaller.com} ~ Fox News’ Tucker Carlson threw a hardball to Albany (N.Y.) Mayor Kathy Sheehan Tuesday night... when discussing illegal immigrants who blocked the entrance to Disneyland in protest over DACA negotiations. “By the way, why would you want someone in your country who’s not grateful to be here, who’s demanding of American citizens the right to vote and get benefits. Don’t you want people who are grateful to be here and want to add?” asked Carlson. “Every immigrant that I’ve ever met is grateful to be here. That doesn’t mean that they’re not going to stand up for their rights, and I’ve joined thousands of people across this country in protests that happened on Saturday from people who were raised in this country and who have been here for generations. That is one of the hallmarks of our great society,” commented Sheehan. “But they’re not Americans, these people. They’re here illegally, they broke the law,” interjected the Daily Caller co-founder... http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/23/tucker-carlson-daca-kathy-sheehan/?utm_medium=emailVIDEO at the site.

Is Democracy on the Way Down?
by PATRICK J. BUCHANAN
{wnd.com} ~ “The Western democratic system is hailed by the developed world as near perfect and the most superior political system to run a country,” mocked China’s official new agency.
“However, what’s happening in the United States today will make more people worldwide reflect on the viability and legitimacy of such a chaotic political system.”
There is a worldwide audience for what Beijing had to say about the shutdown of the U.S. government, for there is truth in it.
According to Freedom House, democracy has been in decline for a dozen years. Less and less do nations look to the world’s greatest democracy, the United States, as a model of the system to best preserve and protect what is most precious to them.
China may be a single-party Communist state that restricts freedom of speech, religion and the press, the defining marks of democracy. Yet Beijing has delivered what makes the Chinese people proud – a superpower nation to rival the mighty United States.
Chinese citizens appear willing to pay, in restricted freedoms, the price of national greatness no modern Chinese generation had ever known.
The same appears true of the Russian people.
After the humiliation of the Boris Yeltsin era, Russians rallied to Vladimir Putin, an autocrat 18 years in power, for having retrieved Crimea and restored Russia to a great power that can stand up to the Americans.
Consider those “illiberal” democracies of Central and Eastern Europe – the Czech Republic, Poland, Austria, Hungary.
To preserve their national character and identity, all have chosen to refuse refugees from Africa and the Middle East. And if this does not comport with the liberal democratic values of the EU, so be it.
President Emmanuel Macron said Sunday that if the French had voted at the time Britain did, for Brexit, France, too, might have voted to get out of the European Union.
Why? One reason, and, no, it’s not the economy, stupid.
It is the tribe. As the English wished to remain English, and voted to regain control of their borders, so the French wish to remain who they were and are – whether ruled by a Louis XIV, Napoleon, General de Gaulle or the Fifth Republic.
In these countries, the common denominator is that the nation comes first, and that political system is best which best protects and preserves the unique character of the nation.
Nationalism trumps democratism.
Recall. Donald Trump was not elected because he promised to make America more democratic, but to “make America great again.”
As for the sacred First Amendment right to democratic protest, Trump got a roaring ovation for declaring that NFL players who “take a knee” during the national anthem should be kicked off the field and off the team.
Circling back to the government shutdown – what, at root, was that all about, if not national identity?
The Democrats who refused to vote to keep the government open did not object to anything in the Republican bill. They objected to what was not in the bill: amnesty for the illegal immigrants known as “dreamers.” It was all about who gets to become an American.
And what is the divisive issue of “open borders” immigration all about, if not the future ethnic composition of the United States?
Consider a few of the issues that have convulsed our country in recent months. White cops. The NFL players’ protests. Desecration and removal of statues of Columbus, Lee, Jackson. The Charlottesville battle of antifa versus the “alt-right.” The “s–-hole countries” crack of the president. The week-long TV tirade of rants against the “racist” Trump.
Are they not all really issues of race, culture and identity?
On campuses, leftist students and faculty protest the presence of right-wing speakers, whom they identify as fascists, racists and homophobes. To radicals, there is no right to preach hate, as they see it, for to permit that is to ensure that hate spreads and flourishes.
What the left is saying is this. Our idea of a moral society is one of maximum ethnic, cultural and religious diversity, and, in the burying of the old wicked America, and the creation of a new better America, we will not accord evil ideas equal rights.
In the old rendering, “Error has no rights!”
That fifth of mankind that is Islamic follows a similar logic.
As there is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his prophet, why would we allow inside our societies and nations the propagation of false faiths like Christianity that must inevitably lead to the damnation of many of our children?
“The best test of truth,” said Oliver Wendell Holmes, “is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market.”
But in our world, more and more people believe, and rightly so, that truth exists independent of whether people accept or reject it.
And there are matters, like the preservation of a unique people and nation, that are too important to be left to temporary majorities to decide.
