{patrioticviralnews.com} ~ Yes, it’s all hot air! That’s the open admission of warhorse California Senator Dianne Feinstein in this CNN clip.. which just goes to show that the Democrats can make a mountain out of a molehill out of an ant farm. The fact of the matter is that four years from now, there STILL will likely be no evidence of Russian collusion in the election of Donald Trump to the presidency, and Feinstein knows it. The Democrats have only themselves to blame for their loss in the 2016 election, and the mainstream media can keep fanning the flames of this story all they want, but the more they do, the more their perennial charge of “Fake News!” is going to come back to bite them... http://patrioticviralnews.com/articles/senator-feinstein-forced-to-admit-there-is-no-evidence-trump-and-russia-colluded-to-win-election/
Oregon and Speech Control
An interesting story comes out of Oregon that highlights yet again the importance of protecting our First Amendment rights. Mats Jarlstrom immigrated to the U.S. from Sweden in 1992, where he had worked as an electronics engineer. Fast-forward to April 2013, when his wife received a ticket for having run a red light — an infraction caught by a traffic camera. While the Jarlstroms paid the fine, Mats had a question sparked by both curiosity and concerns over safety.
Jarlstrom decided to look into the formula created in 1959 used to calculate the length of time traffic lights lit up yellow before switching to red. Through his research he determined that the timeframe for yellow to red did not rightly account for the length of time needed for a car to slow down enough to safely navigate a right-hand turn at an intersection. Jarlstrom said, "Currently, people are getting tickets for running red lights because they're slowing down when they're making turns. It's a safety issue because any time we run a red light, we're in the intersection for the wrong reason, and there is cross traffic, and especially pedestrians are in danger."
Jarlstrom decided to make his findings public. He shared them with local media, the sheriff's department, policymakers and the Oregon State Board of Examiners for Engineering and Land Surveying. What happened next was not anything Jarlstrom expected. The state board alerted him that they were opening up an investigation for his having used the title "electronics engineer" and his statement "I'm an engineer." After two years, the board concluded its investigation and fined him $500. The reason given was that he was not a licensed engineer in the state of Oregon.
This episode exposes one of the dangers of government cronyism. Fining an individual for expressing an opinion on a subject merely because he does not have a state-authorized license violates freedom of speech. Moreover, Jarlstrom does indeed have an engineering degree, so it's not as if he's unfamiliar with the science. But even if he didn't have that degree, what right does the government have to essentially punish someone for speaking their mind?
Sam Gedge, a lawyer from the Institute for Justice, has taken Jarlstrom's case and is challenging the state board's ruling. Gedge called the case a "classic First Amendment issue," stating, "The government can't punish people for expressing their concerns. The government can't take words and redefine them and then punish people for using them in a way the government doesn't like."
Then again, Oregon is the state that fined the bakers who declined to cater a same-sex wedding. That bakery closed — silenced by the power of the state. In that context, a little red light dispute isn't all that surprising. ~The Patriot Post

.Special Investigation Into Russia Would
Only 'Delay' Senate Intel Work
by Bridget Johnson
{pjmedia.com} ~ Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) slammed "our Democratic colleagues complaining about the removal of an FBI director whom they themselves repeatedly and sharply criticized... that removal being done by a man, Rod Rosenstein, whom they repeatedly and effusively praised." "Two investigations are currently ongoing: the Senate Intelligence Committee's review of Russian active measures and intelligence activities and the FBI investigation disclosed by Director Comey," McConnell noted. "Today, we'll no doubt hear calls for a new investigation, which could only serve to impede the current work being done to not only discover what the Russians may have done -- also to let this body and the national security community develop countermeasures and warfighting doctrine to see that it doesn't occur again."... https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/2017/05/10/mcconnell-special-investigation-into-russia-would-only-delay-senate-intel-work/.
White House Confirms Trey Gowdy “Certainly
In The Mix” For FBI Director
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Maria Bartiromo asks Congressman John Ratcliffe (R-TX) about a replacement for James Comey, saying, “Who do you want to see in the job, Congressman?” Ratcliffe replies... “Well, I know that the White House is being inundated with both solicited and unsolicited recommendations. You know, folks that have a background like me as former prosecutors, jurists, law enforcement officials, sheriffs, chiefs of police, I think there is one candidate that will ultimately rise head and shoulders above the rest of us and that would be Trey Gowdy.” Bartiromo asks, “So you want to see Trey Gowdy in the job because he’s trusted, you think.” Ratcliffe replies, “Well, here’s what we need in an FBI Director, we need someone who’s familiar with the FBI and as a former federal prosecutor he certainly has that. We need someone who’s incredibly capable and skilled, and anyone that has watched Trey Gowdy question a witness on Capitol Hill or previously in his career knows that he has that in spades.”...http://rickwells.us/white-house-confirms-trey-gowdy-certainly-mix-fbi-director-says-congressman/

Aetna completely exits liar-nObamacare
exchanges, cites massive losses
by Kimberly Leonard
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Health insurance giant Aetna said Wednesday that it will not be participating in any liar-nObamacare exchanges in 2018... "Our individual commercial products lost nearly $700 million between 2014 and 2016, and are projected to lose more than $200 million in 2017 despite a significant reduction in membership," T.J. Crawford, Aetna spokesman, said in an email. The reason for the losses, he said, came from structural issues within the exchanges "that have led to co-op failures and carrier exits, and subsequent risk pool deterioration." He did not cite uncertainty over the future of liae-nObamacare, as the company had done when it announced last week that it would be exiting the exchange in Virginia... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/aetna-completely-exits-obamacare-exchanges-cites-massive-losses/article/2622734

Will we ever learn?
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ President Trump is about to score a religious trifecta, visiting Saudi Arabia, Israel and Rome, the "home" of three monotheistic religions. The president has said he wants to make the ultimate deal and achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
While the goal is similar to a high school kid attempting to hit a curve ball from an all-star pitcher, the scenario cannot end well for Israel. How do I know this? One has only to look at history. There has never -- never -- been a time when an American president has sought to lessen tensions in the region that Israel has not been smeared as the main impediment and required to "do more" to make peace happen. Israel is not an impediment to peace. Her enemies are.
Here's the danger for President Trump. The Koran allows Muslims to lie to "nonbelievers" in pursuit of Islam's goal of an earthly kingdom ruled by their religion. An example occurred last week when Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas met at the White House with President Trump. Abbas said, "Mr. President, I affirm to you that we are raising our youth, our children and grandchildren, in a culture of peace."
That is a flat-out lie, as even a cursory Google search or visit to the Palestinian Media Watch website proves. President Trump correctly saw the problem in a campaign speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee: "In Palestinian textbooks and mosques, you've got a culture of hatred that has been fomenting there for years. And if we want to achieve peace, they've got to go out and they've got to start this educational process. They have to end education of hatred."
Which country promotes the most extreme form of Islam in children's textbooks, mosques and their media?
It is Saudi Arabia.
If a person, or nation, believes they have a mandate from their "god" to lie to achieve their goals, how likely is it that even a president is not regarded as an "infidel" whose desire for peace can be used to damage Israel's best interests?
As Jerusalem Post columnist Caroline Glick, who's column appears on JWR, correctly noted last week: "Israel is the most immediate casualty of Trump's decision to embrace Abbas and the PLO, because the PLO is Israel's enemy. Abbas is an anti-Semite. His doctoral dissertation, which he later published as a book, is a Holocaust denying screed.
"Abbas engages in anti-Semitic incitement on a daily basis, both directly and indirectly. It was Abbas who called for his people to kill Jews claiming that we pollute Judaism's most sacred site, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, with our 'filthy feet.' The Palestinian media and school system which he controls with an iron fist both regularly portray Jews as evil monsters, deserving of physical annihilation."
This is not the attitude of one with whom a president or prime minister of Israel can make peace.
A virus of hatred toward Israel and Jews is epidemic throughout the region. One is as likely to change the minds of such people as persuade a serious Christian to deny the resurrection of Jesus, or an Orthodox Jew to accept Him as Messiah.
The difference is that Christians and Jews do not have world domination as their goal and violence as their method.
President Trump should re-read his AIPAC speech, because he was right to say what he said then.
Abbas lied to the president during his visit. Mr. Trump can expect more lies on his trip to Saudi Arabia, whose leaders may promise all sorts of things and tell the president what he wants to hear, but won't mean it.
The proof is in their interpretation of their religion. As always, the West must pay less attention to what the enemies of Israel say and more attention to what they do.
