Justice for Sheriff Arpaio
by Political Editors: President Donald Trump on Friday pardoned former Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the long-serving Arizona lawman famous for his tough stance against illegal immigration. Trump tweeted, “I am pleased to inform you that I have just granted a full Pardon to 85 year old American patriot Sheriff Joe Arpaio. He kept Arizona safe!” Arpaio had been recently found guilty of contempt of court charges for disregarding a judge’s orders. Several Republicans criticized Trump’s decision, including both of Arizona’s senators, RINO-John McCain and RINO-Jeff Flake, who no doubt are making their own political calculations.
But Republicans criticized Trump’s pardon over concerns that it seems to contradict Trump’s law-and-order platform. House Speaker Paul Ryan’s spokesman, Doug Andres, said, “The speaker does not agree with the decision. Law-enforcement officials have a special responsibility to respect the rights of everyone in the United States. We should not allow anyone to believe that responsibility is diminished by this pardon.”
Arpaio may have crossed the line disregarding the court order, and his tactics of enforcement were at least arguable. But there is little doubt that the prosecution of Arpaio was a political witch hunt. The Left had been seeking to take him down for years, with the American Civil Liberties Union suing Arpaio in 2008 for racial profiling. After years of litigation, Arpaio’s department was exonerated, yet the Left was successful in sticking a contempt of court ruling against him. In any case, he lost his last re-election bid.
Trump saw the prosecution of Arpaio for what it was — an attempt to take down a prolific conservative lawman. There is little to support the notion that Arpaio was corrupt. He was simply a hard-nosed sheriff who worked to deal with one of the biggest problems of lawlessness in his county, illegal immigration. Trump simply sought to make things right, something George W. Bush failed to do after the Left took down Scooter Libby during the whole Valerie Plame affair. ~The Patriot Post

VMA Freak Leftist Trashes Trump,
Indoctrinates Kids Into Good Little Globalist Comrades

{rickwells.us} ~ The brainwashing of millennials and the targeted generation that follows them, whatever their moniker ends up being, is an obvious, sad and pathetic exploitation of their naiveté and immaturity... Many would describe it as a premeditated act of criminal abuse, child abuse if the age criteria fit. Adolescent teens and young adults don’t usually have the experience and wisdom to recognize when they’re being fed an excrement burger deluxe, diving right in and swallowing every offensive morsel. They’re being led by the trashiest of people, the type that Michelle liar-nObama might consider role model material, Beyonce type sluts and thugs of the type most loving parents work to protect their children from. On stupid television awards shows they’re presented as being worthy of emulation... http://rickwells.us/vma-freak-leftist-trashes-trump-indoctrinates-kids-good-little-globalist-comrades/

Israel Likes the F-35 So Much, It's Buying 17 More
{israeltoday.co.il} ~ US President Donald Trump was initially no fan of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, which ended up being America's most expensive weapons project ever... But Israel's been pretty happy with the new plane since taking possession of its first five such aircraft back in December 2016. In fact, Jerusalem is so pleased with what's called the "Adir" in Israel, that it's ordered an additional 17 F-35s to go with the original order of 33 planes, for a total fleet of 50 aircraft. The planes will arrive in Israel as they are built, a process that will take several years. By 2021, Israel is expected to take possession of all 33 planes from the original order, and by 2024 the full 50-aircraft fleet will be deployed... http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/32267/Default.aspx

A Libyan spy who acted as the bagman in a botched plot to kill the late Saudi king Abdullah has close links to the de facto ruler of the UAE... according to claims made by a son of Muammar Gaddafi that rock Saudi claims of Qatari involvement.

Conservative Groups Launch Campaign to
Break Senate Gridlock on Trump's Judicial Nominees
by General Counsel Ken Klukowski
{theacru.org} ~ Conservatives groups launched a multimillion-dollar campaign on Monday to push the Senate to confirm President Donald Trump's judicial nominees, helping break the gridlock in the Senate so the White House can fill more than 100 vacancies on the federal bench... The Judicial Crisis Network (JCN) is leading the charge, launching a $500,000 ad campaign to persuade recalcitrant senators to allow nominees to get through the vetting and committee process so that they are permitted a final vote on the Senate floor. It is expected that every one of President Trump's nominees would be approved by a majority of senators if allowed such a vote... http://www.theacru.org/conservative-groups-launch-campaign-to-break-senate-gridlock-on-trumps-judicial-nominees/

Palestinians: Destroying the Judiciary
Judges of the Palestinian Authority (PA) justice system protest in Al-Bireh
by Khaled Abu Toameh
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The Palestinian Authority (PA) is facing sharp criticism over its attempt to "encroach" on the judicial authority and turn it into a tool in the hands of President Mahmoud Abbas... Palestinian lawyers, judges and legal experts say that a new bill proposed by the PA government in the West Bank would have a negative impact on the independence and integrity of the judiciary system. The PA leadership's bid to take control over the judicial authority comes on the heels of an ongoing crackdown on the Palestinian media and journalists. In recent weeks, PA security forces have blocked more than 20 news websites and arrested scores of journalists. In addition, Abbas has approved a Cyber Crimes Law that gives his security forces expanded powers to silence his critics on social media... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10903/palestinians-destroying-judiciary#continuedJudges of the Palestinian Authority (PA) justice system protest in Al-Bireh
