{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Almost everyone who researched the substance behind Rod Rosenstein and Robert Mueller’s heavily promoted Russian indictments knew the underlying claims were centered on the thinnest of evidence... few Facebook memes were used to accuse Russian company Concord LLC of violating FARA and FEC election laws. In July,2018, Robert Mueller asked a federal judge in Washington for an order that would protect the handover of voluminous evidence to lawyers for Concord Management and Consulting LLC, one of three companies and 13 Russian nationals charged in a February 2018 indictment. They are accused of producing propaganda, posing as U.S. activists and posting political content on social media as so-called trolls to encourage strife in the U.S. Indeed, to an incurious media, a Russian catering company posting Facebook memes might sound like a good justification for a vast Russian election interference prosecution; however, when Concord & the accused Russians show up in court and request to see the evidence against them, well, the prosecutors might just have a problem. It’s that problem that dogged the Mueller prosecution since 2018. Today, predictably and finally, the DOJ dropped the nonsense case...

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ San Francisco has skipped the interim mitigation efforts and has announced a forced quarantine of all residents inside their homes 24-hours-a-day for the next three weeks... A totalitarian dream. All residents must remain confined inside their homes or residences and no-one will be permitted outside except for emergency services or monitored visits to the grocery stores. The order remains in effect until April 7, 2020, and may be extended. [….] Mayor London Breed announced what she calls a “defining moment” in U.S. response to the pandemic. Beginning at 12 AM, all residents within the city can only leave home for doctor’s appointments or runs to the grocery store. It’s the strictest new policy enacted in the nation, and matches the current rules in Italy … which has been the 2nd hardest-hit country in the world. The Mayor says the rule will remain in effect for at least the next 3 weeks. In addition, to the city shut down, 6 Bay Area counties are telling residents to “shelter in place.” That means … unless your work falls under the list of “essential businesses,” you’ve been ordered to stay home.   https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/03/16/it-begins-san-francisco-initiates-forced-quarantine-of-all-residents-all-hours-effective-midnight/

{ breitbart.com } ~ An scumbag/liar-nObama-appointed federal judge blocked a Trump administration rule that would have tightened work requirements for food stamps... citing the coronavirus pandemic as the reason she made her decision. D.C. District Court Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell granted a preliminary injunction blocking the recent Trump administration rule on food stamps, which the USDA estimates would have reduced federal spending by $7.9 billion over five years and gradually weaned 755,000 people off the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the government program in charge of food stamps.“Especially now, as a global pandemic poses widespread health risks, guaranteeing that government officials at both the federal and state levels have flexibility to address the nutritional needs of residents and ensure their well-being through programs like SNAP, is essential,” Howell wrote in her ruling, according to HuffPost. A 14-state coalition, two major cities, and the Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia have all sued the Trump administration over its rule to stop states from providing food stamps to long-term unemployed residents. Under the “able-bodied” provision in the rule, Americans who are not caring for a dependent younger than six years old would only be eligible for food stamps if they are employed or enrolled in a workforce training program. “The waivers that the Rule curtails are critical to ensuring access to food for low-income people who live in areas with limited employment opportunities,” read the complaint filed by the 14 states and New York City and Washington, DC. “If implemented, the Rule will have a drastic impact on Plaintiffs and their residents by depriving between 688,000 and 850,000 vulnerable Americans of much-needed nutritional assistance.”...  https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/03/14/judge-cites-coronavirus-as-reason-for-blocking-trump-admin-food-stamp-work-requirements/

President Donald Trump on Monday said the United States “may be” headed for a recession as the economy slows to a crawl amid the coronavirus epidemic... “Is the U.S. economy heading into a recession?” a reporter asked Trump at a coronavirus task force briefing at the White House. “Well, it may be,” Trump said, adding: “We’re not thinking in terms of recession. We’re thinking in terms of the virus.”  Economists have increasingly predicted a global recession. Goldman Sachs issued a forecast  Sunday that the U.S. economy will shrink by 5% in the second quarter. Trump predicted a robust recovery later in 2020. “I think there’s a tremendous pent up demand, both in terms of the stock market and in terms of the economy,” he said. “Once this goes away, once this goes through and we’re done with it, I think we’re going to see a tremendous surge.”

{ besacenter.org } ~ The possibility of an Israeli minority government that relies on the Joint Arab List underscores the clear and present danger of accommodating political parties and movements that reject the existence of the Jewish state... and propagate Israel’s transformation into a Palestinian Arab Muslim state. From its outset, the Zionist movement was committed to full civil and religious equality of the non-Jewish minority in the future Jewish state as stipulated in the 1917 Balfour Declaration and the League of Nations mandate. According to a draft constitution of the prospective Jewish state, prepared by Ze’ev Jabotinsky in 1934, Arabs and Jews were to share all rights and duties including military and civil service; Hebrew and Arabic were to enjoy the same legal standing; and “in every cabinet where the prime minister is a Jew, the vice-premiership shall be offered to an Arab and vice versa.” Echoing this vision, about a decade later David Ben-Gurion avowed that “one should not even contemplate a Jewish state that lacks full and absolute equality, political, civil, and national, for all of its residents and citizens…. In a Jewish state, an Arab could be elected prime minister or president, if suitable for the post.” Manifested inter alia by Israel’s Proclamation of Independence May 14, 1948, which granted “complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex” and urged the nascent state’s Arab citizens “to participate in the upbuilding of the state on the basis of full and equal citizenship and due representation in all its provisional and permanent institutions,” this ultraliberal and inclusive outlook was predicated on the assumption—underpinning the essence of all nation-states—of its citizens’ acceptance of its legitimacy and their abidance by its laws, rules, and regulations. In the case of the Arab-Jewish conflict this meant acquiescence of Israel’s Arab citizens to their minority status in Israel; that is, in the national home of the Jewish people as postulated by the 1922 mandate of the League of Nations—the UN’s predecessor as representative of the will of the international community—which tasked Britain with facilitating the establishment of this national home. In Ben-Gurion’s words: “A Jewish state does not only mean Jewish majority in that state—it also concerns the state’s purpose: it will be a state not only of and for its citizens, but a state whose mission is to ingather the exiles and to concentrate and ensconce them in the homeland.” By way of attaining this goal, Israel passed the Law of Return, which grants Jews, wherever they are, the right to citizenship should they choose to make Israel their home, as well as specific legislation aimed at safeguarding Israel’s Jewish character, notably Basic Law: The Knesset (Article 7A). It stipulated that...  https://besacenter.org/perspectives-papers/israel-jewish-soul/?utm_source=Middle+East+Forum&utm_campaign=b5237c9f77-MEF_Karsh_2020_03_16_10_43&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_086cfd423c-b5237c9f77-33703665&goal=0_086cfd423c-b5237c9f77-33703665&mc_cid=b5237c9f77&mc_eid=f33b9e6c12

{ americanactionnews.com } ~ Billionaire “progressive” scumbag-George Soros has been spending millions of dollars around the nation to elect state and local prosecutors... as part of an on-going campaign to radically transform law enforcement in the United States and weaponize the law to use it against those who won’t go along with the progressive agenda. He’s enjoyed some success at the county level in Virginia, in Chicago and at the state level in Missouri, New York and California. scumbag-Soros backed prosecutors often refuse to enforce existing drug and immigration laws as well as other criminal laws they view as “unfair” or “discriminatory.” The infamous Jesse Smollet case in Chicago has proved an embarrassment to scumbag-Soros-backed Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx – because she wanted to let Smollett off with hardly a slap on the wrist. New York Attorney General Letitia James, elected with scumbag-Soros’s backing has been leading a jihad against the National Rifle Association – which she promised during her campaign to “take down” if elected. These and other cases should serve as a warning to voters: allowing such candidates into office is dangerous both to the rule-of-law and to those who dare disagree with the “progressive” agenda. Another scumbag-Soros backed candidate, St. Louis, Missouri’s chief prosecutor Kimberly Gardner elected in 2016 investigated and forced Republican Governor Eric Greitens out of office on what, it turns out, were fabricated charges. Her abuse of the prosecutorial powers she was allowed to exercise as the result of her electoral victory has been perhaps the most serious to date and illustrates to what lengths scumbag-Soros’s acolytes will go to destroy their enemies. Gardner had won an indictment of the Governor for felony invasion of privacy. Greitens allegedly took pictures of his semi-naked girlfriend without her permission – and threatened to release them if she ever talked about their affair. Greitens had admitted to the affair, but denied the charges. It turned out that Gardner’s hand-picked investigators she had fired the career investigators working for her office when she came in had reached out to the girlfriend and insisted though she didn’t think he had ever taken such pictures that they had them. It turned out that there were no pictures or if there were the prosecution didn’t have them or any other proof that what they alleged had even taken place. The charges and the publicity, however, forced the Governor to resign two years into his four year term, effectively reversing the wishes of Missouri voters and destroying his political career. Last year Gardner was forced to withdraw the indictment and since then her “investigator” has been indicted for his conduct. Gardner herself hasn’t yet been indicted, but the evidence suggests strongly that she directed the whole fraudulent case and then lied about her role under oath. She denies everything, of course, and alleges that the charges against her are being made simply because she is Black and is being targeted by Republican “political operatives.”...
