TRADE ROILS BOTH PARTIES AS AIR nOBAMA HEADS TO NIKE
As he laces up to tout his trade deal at Nike’s Oregon headquarters – an intriguing choice given the company’s sweat-shop past – President nObama’s push for fast track authority is proving to be far from a slam dunk in Congress.

Indeed, with nObama pressing reluctant Democrats, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McCon-nell and Speaker backstabber
John Boehner are trying put a buzzer beater. But opposition to the deal is stiff on both sides of the aisle and the pact is no more popular with Sixteeners of both stripes. Breaking with GOP frontrunners who support the deal, presidential candidate Mike Huckabee trash-talked the trade pact, warning that American workers could “take it up the backside” under the current proposal. “Fast-track means nobody’s paying attention,” Huckabee said. Among Democrats, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Gov. Martin O’Malley are strongly opposed. And where is Hilly Clinton in all this? On the bench, where she says she’s “watching closely.” -Fox News

Why Nike? - National Journal takes a detailed look at the apparel giant, which is headquartered in the U.S. but does most of its business overseas: “Nike made $12.4 billion in profits last year, thanks in large part to 1 million subcontracted workers at factories primarily in low-wage countries in Asia. For years, the company has faced allegations that a number of those factories use sweatshop conditions and illegally low wages to produce sneakers and clothes that Nike then sells in much wealthier countries.” -Fox News

WITH YOUR SECOND CUP OF COFFEE
One of the most famous photographs in sports journalism is of the 1965 game between rival schools Deerfield Academy and Mount Hermon in which the game went on before full stands as a huge fire consumed Mount Hermon’s science building right behind the bleachers. Would you like to know the story behind the famous photo? NYT has the details: “Halftime came. Officials conferred about how to handle the nettlesome situation. In a decision that surely would not be made in today’s safety-conscious, litigious world, they decided it would be better if the teams just carried on. ‘We were told to suck it up and play,’ [one Mount Hermon player] recalled.” -Fox News

AND NOW A WORD FROM CHARLES
“[President Bill Clinton] said there was a guy who said he put the information in the wrong box, and now he says we have no idea how this information was left out. It’s sort of amusing. It reminds you of what they said about a lot of other stuff they lied about consistently in the ‘90s. And this is just a guarantee that if we elect Hilly, we’re going to get this for another eight years.” – Charles Krauthammer on “Special Report with Bret Baier.” -Fox News

The Chart That Puts the Lie to the Media’s Overhyped Employment #s 
According to Zero Hedge, the number of Americans not participating in the labor force has reached another record: 93,194,000...
Compare this with the unemployment rate, and there’s a problem: “Unemployment” shouldn’t fall as the number of people in the work force also falls... With unemployment back down to 5.4%, nearly pre-recession levels, why are there more Americans out of the workforce than at any time since 1977? http://www.ijreview.com/2015/05/317542-unemployment-goes-even-though-americans-leaving-workforce-entirely/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

nObama’s TPP Secret Trade Deal Dilemma – Truth Equals No Deal
(rickwells.us) - The cause and source of the growing consternation over the secret Trans-Pacific Partnership treaty is Hussein nObama himself and it results from his insistence that it remain secret... While he claims the secrecy is a security measure intended to protect the still-ongoing negotiations, that lie is easily exposed. If that were truly the case, one would only need to wait until those negotiations were completed and then reveal the deal in its entirety to Congress as well as to the American people. There is no urgency and certainly is no justification for signing a major international treaty without knowing what it contains other service to the international corporations and political financiers who crafted it. The Republicans prostitutes such as Mitch McCon-nell (R-KY), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), John Con-nelly (R-TX) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) are supporting the anti-American efforts of Obama and obediently following the instructions of their financial masters. http://rickwells.us/obamas-tpp-secret-trade-deal-dilemma-truth-equals-no-deal-secrecy-raises-legitimate-fears/

Refugees – Secret nObama Program Threatens Communities
(rickwells.us) - What is a typical red-blooded American who is concerned about distant, largely unaccountable bureaucrats destroying their quality of life by polluting their community with unassimilated third-world peasants do to find out what the federal government has in store?... The unpleasant reality is there is not much that can be done. Our imperial government is no longer accountable to the people. WND reports that there is presently a flow of approximately 100,000 Muslims per year, most from countries with a demonstrated terrorist presence or threat. There are 190 communities in America that have been selected with no local community input or involvement, as dumping grounds for imported foreigners of every conceivable description. Those Americans who live in the areas in which the dumping is taking place, including their elected representatives, have found themselves powerless to do anything to prevent it or to even get any information. And I say WHY? http://rickwells.us/importing-unvetted-refugees-terrorists-secret-obama-program-threatens-citizens-communities/

The Iraqi Christian nun, Sister Diana Momeka (left), this month received a visa to visit the U.S. as part of a delegation of foreign religious leaders. The State Dept. had originally denied her visa request, only allowing in non-Christian delegates. Last year, the United States Institute for Peace invited to the U.S. the Muslim governors of Nigeria's northern states, but the sole Christian governor, Plateau State Gov. Jonah David Jang (right), was denied a visa.
U.S. State Dept. Invites Muslim Leaders, Denies Christians
(Raymond Ibrahim) - Late on the evening of May 8, Newsmax TV announced that pressure from Americans acquainted with Sister Diana Momeka's visa rejection has just caused the State Department to reverse its decision and permit her entry into the United States... Until then, however, she and others were barred After inviting a number of foreign religious leaders, mostly Muslim, the U.S. State Department, for the second time in a row, denied the sole Christian representative a visa -- despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that Christians are the ones being persecuted by Muslims. Sister Diana was to be one of a delegation of religious leaders from Iraq -- including Shia and Yazidi -- to visit Washington, D.C., to describe the situation of their people. Every single religious leader from this delegation was granted a visa -- except for the only Christian representative, Sister Diana. http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5721/christian-visa-state-dept

Report: nObama lied about bin Laden raid
(gopthedailydose.com) - The Hill An expose published on Sunday alleges that President nObama deceived Americans with his narrative of the 2011 assassination of Osama bin Laden. Author Seymour M. Hersh accuses nObama of rushing to take credit for the al Qaeda leader’s death... This decision, Hersh argues in the London Review of Books, forced the military and intelligence communities to scramble and then corroborate the president’s version of events. “High-level lying nonetheless remains the modus operandi of U.S. policy, along with secret prisons, drone attacks, Special Forces night raids, bypassing the chain of command, and cutting out those who might say no,” Hersh wrote of the nObama administration’s counter terrorism policies. http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/05/10/report-obama-lied-about-bin-laden-raid/

nObama Pulling Out All Stops To Secure Dictatorial Trade Authority
(rickwells.us) - On Tuesday, a bill designed to confer trade promotion authority on President nObama, known as “fast-track,” will come before the Senate... nObama and his administration have been working overtime to convince recalcitrant Democrats loyal to labor unions not to abandon him in the House and Senate and work with the GOP to defeat the bill. nObama even has given lawmakers rides on Air Force One to convince them. The bill would allow nObama to negotiate and sign trade agreements without Congressional oversight. Congress would get only 90 days to ready itself for a yea or nay vote, and could not amend any deal or filibuster it — although if a trade accord displeases Congress, it could revoke the president’s authority, and then amend the deal. http://rickwells.us/obama-pulling-out-all-stops-to-secure-dictatorial-trade-authority-from-congress-mcconnells-onboard/

Republicans Turning Against Legal Immigration
(fixthisnation.com) - For the last decade, the immigration debate has centered around those who come to our country illegally and what should be done about them once they’re here... But while that battle rages on, some Republicans have decided that merely limiting illegal immigration is not enough. Both Senator Jeff Sessions and likely 2016 presidential candidate Scott Walker have proposed putting strict limits on legal immigration as well. “The next president and the next congress,” said Walker, “need to make decisions about a legal immigration system that’s based on, first and foremost, protecting American workers and American wages…we need to have that be at the forefront of our discussion going forward.” Republicans have conceded the “we’re a nation of immigrants” talking point for so long, it is almost shocking to see politicians talk like this. It’s refreshing for a couple of reasons. One, it uses a strategy liberals have perfected – moving back the line of negotiation. When your starting point is: We should not let illegal immigrants into this country, the compromise becomes: Okay, we’ll let some of them in. When your starting point is: We should not let anyone into this country, the compromise could be: Okay, we’ll only let in the ones who go through the proper steps. http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/republicans-turning-against-legal-immigration/

Questions Not Asked – Like “Why Aren’t You Protecting Homeland?
(rickwells.us) - The dull knife in the drawer, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, begins his conversation on the domestic terror threat by offering up two upcoming gatherings as potential terrorist targets... one celebrating the defeat of Nazi Germany and the other honoring fallen police officers. He wants us to know it’s not his fault that the terror threat has expanded exponentially; the Internet and Facebook did it. Of course, the fact that DHS, the State Department and the White House are engaged in a coordinated effort to flood the U.S. with foreigners of every description, many of whom are intent upon and quite capable of carrying out the acts being encouraged in social media isn’t brought up for discussion. Johnson acknowledged that the problems are being faced by local law enforcement, the ones who will, in conjunction with the American citizens, be forced to deal directly with the threat of what Johnson likes to describe as “lone wolves,” many of whom were not born in the United States. This Jeh must go in 2016. http://rickwells.us/the-questions-not-asked-like-why-arent-you-protecting-the-homeland-mr-dhs-secretary/

American Media's Dangerous Fixation
(Jeff Allen) - Now that the dust is finally beginning to settle, most people like myself have had some time to process the deranged (but thankfully thwarted) terrorist act of violence and the ensuing Muslim uproar... sparked by what initially began as a not-so-highly publicized Muhammad drawing cartoon contest sponsored by Pamela Geller, President of the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), and Jihad Watch at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas. The thing about this entire incident that should strike everyone as most appalling is the mainstream media meltdown subsequent to the murderous rampage that was carried out against the event on May 3rd by two ISIS-supporting madmen. A countless throng of our nation’s “talking heads” were spinning in overdrive, and like some sort of rapid response team or pro-Muslim war room, they promptly and predictably sprang into damage control mode in an effort to placate and pacify the apoplectic adherents to the ostensible religion of peace who apparently hold to a faith so fragile and easily offended that it can’t even withstand the slightest modicum of scrutiny. However, since mocking the beliefs of non-Christians usually proves counterproductive when it comes to winning them to the Christ, the primary focus of this column will therefore be to shine a light upon the flagrant hypocrisy of the Left-slouching American media as demonstrated during the cartoon controversy. http://barbwire.com/2015/05/11/0900-american-medias-dangerous-fixation-with-all-things-muslim-and-homosexual/.

Does ISIS Operate in the U.S. and Europe?
(Elliot Friedland) - When there is a terrorist attack and the Islamic State claims responsibility questions are immediately raised. How is Islamic State, the world’s most wanted organization, able to project its power around the world... and carry out terrorist attacks without the knowledge of the many security services tasked with tracking the group? The short answer is that they don’t. The Islamic State encourages its supporters to carry out attacks anywhere and at any time, without getting in touch with central command. For example, in the latest issue of the Islamic State’s glossy propaganda magazine Dabiq, the Tunisian jihadist Abu Muqatil exhorted ISIS supporters in France to kill the unbelievers immediately. http://www.clarionproject.org/analysis/islamic-state-%E2%80%93-organization-west

Here’s what Assata taught me: The left’s sick fetish for cop-killers is still going strong after four decades of violence, bloodshed, bigotry and excuses. The timing couldn’t be more blood-boiling. As the relatives, friends and colleagues of NYPD Officer Brian Moore, 25, prepare to bury their hero on Friday after he was brazenly shot in the face this weekend by a thug with a long rap sheet and a deep hatred of police, Assata’s army remains as militant as ever.

“Assata” is Assata Shakur, a.k.a. Joanne Chesimard. Forty-two years ago this week, the radical black leader shot and killed New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster execution-style during a traffic stop. The gunfight also left her brother-in-law, Black Liberation Army leader Zayd Malik Shakur, dead. At the time, the BLA had been tied to the murders of more than 10 police officers across the country. Before Chesimard’s shootout, the BLA had ambushed two pairs of NYPD officers in a 48-hour spree, killing two of them; murdered another cop in Atlanta; and executed another pair of NYPD officers in 1972.

Just as New York City has endured the targeted assassinations of three officers (Moore, Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos) in the past five months by vengeful black assailants — plus the hatchet jihad attack last October that wounded Officer Kenneth Healey in the head and slashed Officer Joseph Meeker in the arm — the nation endured a “terror and chaos” campaign by the BLA aimed at “assassinating law enforcement officers” between 1968 and 1973 and again in 1981.

Chesimard was convicted and sentenced to life in 1977, but escaped from prison two years later with help from violent leftwing accomplices. Chesimard’s colleague, BLA killer Tyrone Rison, admitted to participating in a series of armored-car robberies, including a $250,000 heist in the Bronx in June 1981, which left a Brink’s guard dead. Rison also confessed to taking part in the planning of the Rockland County, N.Y., $1.6 million Brink’s robbery by leftwing domestic terrorists in October 1981. Police officers Waverly Brown and Edward O’Grady and Brink’s guard Peter Paige were murdered during the siege. Chesimard’s brother, Jeral Wayne Williams (a.k.a. Mutulu Shakur), was the convicted ringleader of the group responsible for murdering those law enforcement officers; he also masterminded Chesimard’s escape. His release is set for February 2016.

Chesimard has lived comfortably in Cuba ever since her escape thanks to the generosity of Fidel Castro. The cop-killer diva has been hailed by rappers Jay-Z and Common — and now she’s a hoodie heroine. Assata is, plain and simple, a domestic terrorist who represents lawless hatred of the police. There has been no peace for the families of those whose loved ones sacrificed their lives on the front lines. Where is their justice?

Despite impassioned pleas for Assata Shakur’s extradition by law enforcement leaders in New York and New Jersey, the nObama White House has done nothing. Nada. The inaction speaks for itself. And his bland words of support for the police ring hollower than a hula hoop.

Before chumming it up with David Letterman and raising cash for the DNC on Monday, the president took a few seconds to pay obligatory tribute to fallen officer Brian Moore. He and his fellow cops, nObama mumbled, “deserve our gratitude and our prayers, not just today, but every day.” Stuff it. By his inaction on long-festering anti-police vigilantism, it’s clear which side the social-justice warrior in chief stands on: the side of Assata, Castro and the cop-hating mob.
