Khamenei: There Will Not Be

by jpost.com:  Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Tuesday Tehran does not seek war with the United States despite mounting tensions... between the two arch-enemies over Iranian nuclear capabilities and its missile program. In comments to senior officials carried by state television, Khamenei also reiterated that the Islamic Republic would not negotiate with the United States on another nuclear deal.  "There won't be any war. The Iranian nation has chosen the path of resistance," Khamenei was cited as saying by the state media. "We don't seek a war, and they don't either. They know it’s not in their interests." President Donald Trump withdrew the United States a year ago from a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and global powers under which Tehran curbed its uranium enrichment capacity, a potential pathway to a nuclear bomb, and won sanctions relief in return. Since then, Trump has ratcheted up sanctions on Iran, seeking to reduce its lifeblood oil exports to zero, to push Tehran into fresh negotiations on a broader arms control deal, targeting in part the Iranian ballistic missile program. "Such negotiations are a poison," Khamenei said. Earlier on Tuesday, Hesameddin Ashena, an advisor to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani wrote in a Tweet addressing US President Donald Trump, "You wanted a better deal with Iran. Looks like you are going to get a war instead. Good luck in 2020!"...

{ cnsnews.com } ~ Although more than one million Muslim Uighurs have been imprisoned in “reeducation” camps in Communist China over the last several years, the equivalent of 21st century concentration camps... most Islamic governments are not saying much in terms of protest. For comparison, the United States has been very vocal against the persecution. According to the U.S. State Department, “more than one million Uighurs, ethnic Kazakhs, and members of other Muslim minority groups have been detained in Chinese government … internment camps since April 2017.”The Islamic Republic of Iran, predominantly Shia, has said nothing about the imprisonment of the Uighers, who are predominantly Sunni. In a tweet in September, U.S. Secretary of State  Mike Pompeo said, .@khamenei_ir [Ali Khamenei] fancies himself the leader of the Islamic world, but his regime has been totally silent as China—the top buyer of #Iran’s oil—has persecuted and detained hundreds of thousands of its Muslim citizens. رژیم_ریاکار#" The Monarch of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Bin Salman, actually defended the use of concentration camps. He currently is serving as the deputy prime minister of Saudi Arabia. “China has the right to carry out anti-terrorism and de-extremisation work for its national security,” he said, as reported in The Telegraph. He made these remarks on Chinese state television while in the Communist regime to sign trade deals. The country with the largest Muslim population, Indonesia, has said little about the concentration camps, where Uighurs are “reeducated” to conform their religious beliefs to Chinese socialism/communism. As Foreign Policy reported, "The government of Indonesia has also remained conspicuously reserved, even in the face of China unveiling plans to ‘Sinicize Islam.’ Vice President Jusuf Kalla has asserted that Jakarta has no intention to interfere with Beijing’s treatment of Muslims in China. China is Indonesia’s largest trading partner, with figures from the Indonesian Ministry of Trade showing that two-way trade jumped 25 percent to $66 billion during the first 11 months of 2018."...

by libertyplanet.com:  To get at just how corrupt the Democratic Party has become, let’s entertain a little analogy... Imagine that you and a handful of your co-workers are up for promotion to team manager. You have been a former team manager’s assistant, and believe you have a right to be the next chief manager. So you rig the office team recommendation system so that no good reviews of the other candidates make their way to the head branch boss. In this way, you are able to eliminate all of the competition except one. Your one remaining opponent — Shmonald Shrump — is a dynamo on the sales floor. He has silly hair and a wild private life. Based on this information, you decide that you can probably find something incriminating on him if you had the right equipment. So, you utilize the office team collaboration software suite to get a bunch of passwords and other private info on your opponent. Then, using what you’ve learned, you go to the sub-head manager and use the information you obtained to get even more private info on your opponent. Still dissatisfied, you hire a private eye to find incriminating intel on Shrump. That private eye hires a local dirty ex-cop to write a phony police report on your opponent. In the end, you use all your time trying to cheat and fail to run an actual campaign. Inevitably, your opponent wins- and using his new authority, hires some tech nerds to discover your sneaky peeping. Sound familiar. Here’s Fox News with more on the real obstruction of justice story.

Cyberterrorists – they're real 
and they're extremely tech savvy

{ onenewsnow.com } ~ A researcher of cyberterrorism and online terrorism reveals that terrorists who were once believed to be lagging behind technologically... have been using modern communication systems for quite some time to propagandize worldwide audiences and incite others to attack. In one recent example, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi reemerged for the first time since 2014 in a video that was heavily circulated online. One of the world's most wanted and reclusive terrorists, al-Baghdadi used the video – in part – to announce the group's  participation in the execution of the recent attacks in Sri Lanka. Dr. Gabriel Weimann is a senior researcher at the  International Institute for Counter-Terrorism in Israel. According to Weimann, a few short decades ago many experts assumed "Third World people" were neither equipped nor sophisticated enough to conduct terrorist activities using the internet for this type of activity. But the researcher and author of Terrorism in Cyberspace: The Next Generation, tells OneNewsNow "online jihad" continues to be a growing threat and can currently be separated into four developmental stages. The first stage emerged in the late 1990s and relied solely on the use of websites. These were "quite primitive" and generally written in one language, according to Weimann. The highly recognized terrorist organization, al-Qaeda, has had an online presence since 1998. Other groups with websites at the time, says Weimann, included Hamas, Hezbollah, the Tamil Tigers, and a number of others. According to Weimann, "terrorists realized simplistic websites were not enough," as they only allowed for "one-way communication." They wanted "interaction," he continues, and they wanted the ability to "talk" to their audiences and to exchange messages. The researcher explains that led to the second stage, where terrorists began using interactive platforms like chatrooms and forums in addition to websites about 15 years ago. Then not only could the terrorists simply post material for others to view, Weimann says they could also interact with people interested in the organization, helping those on the terror side to identify potential recruits. Social media launched the third stage – and Weimann says they quickly learned how to apply and use each them to benefit their cause. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other platforms are all being used by terrorist organizations today... Social media needs to clean house.

commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 
If You Believed Me You’re Stupid

{ lidblog.com } ~ Oh Great! People went out and got 15-year balloon mortgages because commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said the world was going to end in twelve years if we don’t fix the climate... and now she says it was all a joke! On January 22nd commie-AOC Said:  “Millennials and Gen Z and all these folks that come after us are looking up, and we’re like, ‘The world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change, and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it? It’s almost five months years later, and now she claims she was just kidding. On Mother’s Day, May 12th commie-AOC tweeted out an attempt to walk back her end of the world claim: This is a technique of the GOP, to take dry humor + sarcasm literally and “fact check” it. Like the “world ending in 12 years” thing, you’d have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think it’s literal. But the GOP is basically Dwight from The Office so who knows.Firstly commie-AOC made the claim to a liberal audience. She made the remark during an interview with writer Ta-Nehisi Coates at the MLK Now event in New York City celebrating the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. The audience believed she was serious and commie-AOC  got applause after she said it. commie-Ocasio-Cortez wasn’t using sarcasm. Heck, based on her track record it’s surprising she knew what the word sarcasm meant. Maybe someone had to explain the meaning of the word sarcasm to her before she wrote the tweet...   https://lidblog.com/aoc-believe/

The Long-Running Trade War With China
Kuwi-VeCxCNUDNjxkKPa52a2vc08JKGLV-1bKaChQ77Q6Ws_2506CFlUFwLT7ZgA95isBvwoOVzoOtlNQYbRYP7Agv9T0UBcoOMGFD1VE4HcUx9JX6Z6o5sgpxR18H2S5nmFfwGRi1pRnnlHT28K7Bh6F2AkPcG2N6Wks3s=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x

Thomas Gallatin:  While much of the mainstream media wring their collective hands over President Donald Trump “igniting a trade war” by raising new tariffs against $200 billion in Chinese goods, the reality is the U.S. has been in a long-running economic war with Beijing. The only difference is that Trump has decided to lead the U.S. on the offensive.

As Mark Alexander notes, “In the three-decades-old trade cold war with Red China, Donald Trump is the first president to exercise the political courage to fight back.” He notes further, “One BIG advantage they have is the relentless Leftmedia opposition to Trump. Thus, the Chinese are able to target tariff countermeasures to do the most political damage to Republicans with the support of the Demo/MSM.”

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) praised Trump’s actions, stating, “This is the first administration ever, in certainly modern history, that’s actually taken these guys on.” Even Senate Minority Leader Chuck scumbag-Schumer (D-NY) agreed with the president, arguing, “We have to be strong with [China]. … We ought to hang tough.”

Predictably, China has responded in a tit-for-tat manner by raising tariffs on an additional $60 billion in various U.S. imports, effective June 1. In other words, it doesn’t look like either side will back down anytime soon. Even so, Beijing is feeling more of the immediate economic pressure — its economy continues to slow as various companies look to relocate their manufacturing outside of China.

Hopefully, Trump’s actions will press China into ending its abusive trade practices and in turn usher in a fair and balanced trade agreement between the world’s two largest economies.  ~The Patriot Post

Congress Won’t Fund Nuclear Weapons Treaty Unless China, Russia Put in Crosshairs

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Congress is moving to halt funding for a global nuclear arms pact until the Trump administration assures lawmakers that China and Russia will be held accountable for a massive expansion in their nuclear arsenals... according to a copy of the new legislation viewed by the Washington Free Beacon. With tensions between the United States and Russia running high over the impending end of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, known as New START, Republican leaders in Congress say they are prepared to halt all funding for a new version of this treaty until the Trump administration consents to include provisions combatting both Russia and China's nuclear expansion. To that end, the new legislation would "limit funding for any extension of the New START Treaty or any successor agreement unless the agreement includes the People's Republic of China and covers all strategic and non-strategic nuclear forces of the Russian Federation," according to the bill. China has not been party to past versions of the START agreement, drawing concern from lawmakers who see Beijing expanding its nuclear weapons arsenal without oversight, particularly at a time when the United States is seeking to reduce the size of its own arsenal. Russia, meanwhile, has been working to boost its own nuclear weapons program, including through the construction of intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of carrying a nuclear warhead and nuclear powered cruise missiles. The new legislation, which is being offered before the New START Treaty expires in February of 2021, would address these developments by requiring any new START agreement to be signed by China and also include "all strategic and non-strategic nuclear forces held by the Russian Federation," according to the legislation... What make you think that China or for that matter Russia agree to this agreement.

Minefield? If Barr Has Any Intention Of

{ saraacarter.com } ~ As Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz is preparing his report on the FBI’s handling of its investigation into President Donald Trump’s campaign... he’s likely to reveal information derived from compelled statements of bureau and DOJ employees. According to several former FBI officials and legal experts, it could be a potential minefield for Attorney General William Barr if he reviews the report and intends to use compelled information in any criminal prosecution against senior officials for allegedly violating the law with regard to Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant, or other matters. Horowitz’s report will most likely contain extensive information derived from compelled statements of FBI and DOJ employees, and that’s a minefield for Barr to navigate in a subsequent criminal prosecution, former and current FBI officials told SaraACarter.com. Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Jeff Danik said “during nearly thirty years at the FBI investigating law enforcement abuses, by far my biggest concern was that evidence originating from an officer’s compelled internal affairs statement would inadvertently seep into my criminal investigation.” “It’s usually fatal,” added Danik. “He should immediately stop making public comments about his discussions and coordination with the IG” Multiple former and current FBI officials worried that Barr’s public comments regarding Horowitz’s investigation could affect future criminal prosecutions if the DOJ sought to bring charges. These law enforcement officials said at a very minimum, he should not be making public comments regarding the IG’s FISA investigation.“He should immediately stop making public comments about his discussions and coordination with the IG; he should establish a taint team in a government office far away from Main Justice and demand that his criminal investigative team sever all contact with any IG employee or any member of the taint team; the taint team should review exactly who was interviewed by the IG, which witnesses provided compelled statements probably the vast majority, and make sure to take serious steps to preserve the possibility of prosecuting FBI and DOJ officials if they committed wrongdoing,” said one former FBI official, who spoke on condition that they not be named. “After what the president and the country have been through, it would be a travesty for the guilty to get away with it because of governmental blundering.”...

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Former vice president loose lips-Joe Biden's son Hunter loose lips-Biden partnered with infamous mobster Whitey Bulger's nephew and former secretary of state hanoi-John Kerry's stepson for his lucrative business deal with the Bank of China... according to reporter Peter Schweizer's latest boloose lips-ok. Schweizer points to the business deal with state-owned Bank of China, a $1.5 billion private equity investment, as a possible reason why the current presidential candidate has adopted a conciliatory attitude toward China. The lucrative deal between the Bank of China and Hunter loose lips-Biden's company was inked in 2013 just weeks after loose lips-Joe Biden brought his son along on an official trip to China. Schweizer also lays out the interesting cast of characters who partnered with loose lips-Biden for the deal, such as the Thornton Group consulting firm, which is headed by James Bulger. The son of Massachusetts state senator Billy Bulger, James is named after his uncle James "Whitey" Bulger, who was killed in prison late last year after a decades-long career in the mob that landed him on the FBI's Most Wanted list. Also partnered with loose lips-Biden is Chris Heinz, the stepson of hanoi-John Kerry. loose lips-Biden and Heinz control Rosemont Seneca Partners, the private equity firm that received billions of investment dollars from China. A representative for Heinz says his involvement in the deal has been "misreported." He says that neither he nor his firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners, had any role in the deal. He says an unaffiliated second firm, Rosemont Seneca Bohai, is the firm doing business with Bank of China, and that Heinz is not involved. The representative also says Heinz has never been to China. Schweizer, whose latest book Secret Empires  examines the tactics used by political elites to accumulate wealth while in power, calls the timeline of Hunter loose lips-Biden's business dealings with China as his father shaped foreign policy from the White House "shocking," but points out that nobody knew enough to raise any questions...

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Once again the New York Times is getting out ahead of the story to reveal Attorney General Bill Barr has instructed U.S. Attorney John Durham to review the origins of the 2016 DOJ and FBI surveillance of the Trump campaign... The appointment looks like a way to keep the sensitive inquiry within Barr’s control as opposed to appointing a special counsel. John H Durham, the U.S. attorney from Connecticut, has handled previous investigations into the intelligence community.Attorney General William P. Barr has assigned the top federal prosecutor in Connecticut to examine the origins of the Russia investigation, according to two people familiar with the matter, a move that President Trump has long called for but that could anger law enforcement officials who insist that scrutiny of the Trump campaign was lawful. John H. Durham, the United States attorney in Connecticut, has a history of serving as a special prosecutor investigating potential wrongdoing among national security officials, including the F.B.I.’s ties to a crime boss in Boston and accusations of C.I.A. abuses of detainees. His inquiry is the third known investigation focused on the opening of an F.B.I. counterintelligence investigation during the 2016 presidential campaign into possible ties between Russia’s election interference and Trump associates. The department’s inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, is separately examining investigators’ use of wiretap applications and informants and whether any political bias against Mr. Trump influenced investigative decisions. And John W. Huber, the United States attorney in Utah, has been reviewing aspects of the Russia investigation. His findings have not been announced...

by independentsentinel.com:  This past week, worthless-Rashida Tlaib said she had a “calming feeling” about the Holocaust because her ancestors gave the victims a “safe haven.”... On a podcast, she said: “It was my ancestors – Palestinians – who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence in many ways, have been wiped out, and some people’s passports,” she said. “And just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-the Holocaust, post-the tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time.” “And just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-the Holocaust, post-the tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time. And I love the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that, right, in many ways. But they did it in a way that took their human dignity away and it was forced on them.”The context is what is important.  She said this to push the idea that we need to end the partition and make Israel and Palestine one nation. What worthless-Tlaib is doing is distorting history because she wants a one-state solution. She wants to use ‘democracy’ to establish a Palestinian state where Jews would become the minority and soon be vanquished. Her comments about feeling calm when she thinks about helping the Jewish people is a lie and she knows it. The Palestinians fought with the Germans in World War II. The Republican leadership demanded Democrat leadership do something about her anti-Semitism. Rep. Liz Cheney issued a strong statement and thinks Speaker Pulosi and Leader scumbag-Hoyer will finally take action. “This must cross the line, even for them,” she tweeted...

Federal Student Loans: From 
'Profitable' to Indebted
67JYuIRWP64CN7Y7MrUs-FSYBVfh2_fSiE8uywndbihiNeQUlY4HN_qMy_xjP3kozb9ZkO2w5NjcKR3Cbq_bY4hsP2NYUU2yELuBxT-YefThwqjc7PI8vgigR5KJONtpXpinGFXHIxG2GlALIW7XWOkh4MfZpLV3VR54Rws=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Jordan Candler:  The Congressional Budget Office recently revealed some startling new figures regarding student loans. But first, let’s rewind. In 2017, the CBO — clearly looking through rose-colored glasses — stated that the government-managed student-loan program would garner a respectable $114 billion in revenue over the ensuing 10 years. Then, in 2018, that revenue estimate nosedived to just $8.7 billion. In other words, the $11.4 billion in estimated annual profits cratered to less than $1 billion.
 

But even that estimate proved ridiculously sugarcoated.

Now, the CBO is calculating a $31 billion deficit over the next 10 years. A Bloomberg Government report parsed this development as “a shift from past CBO forecasts that the government would profit from the program.” That’s not merely a shift. That’s a deviation of epic proportions.

Bloomberg Government provides some key explanations for the seismic shift:

While some of the increase can be attributed to interest rates, the bulk of the change has come from the cost of the almost $1.5 trillion in federal loans students already have outstanding. More loans are in default, and less is being collected on outstanding loans, according to the the department’s budget request. In addition, more borrowers than anticipated are enrolling in income-driven repayment plans. These allow borrowers to pay a percentage of their income for a set number of years, after which the remainder of the loan is forgiven.

Of course, anybody who understands the inescapable realities that come with federal spending already knew that student loans would not be profitable. As we  explained back in 2016, “Originally, the loan forgiveness program was meant to be available only for those students who applied for loans in 2014 and after, but then Barack scumbag/liar-nObama retroactively extended the benefit.” Predictably, that made a bad situation all the worse. As Bloomberg Government further notes, “About 30 percent of borrowers with direct federal loans, the most common type, were in income-driven repayment programs in fiscal 2018, a 29 percent increase from two years before, according to the Education Department.”

Now here’s the real kicker. Presidential candidates like Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren claim that universal “free” college is the way to ameliorate the problem. The cost of Warren’s proposal? At least $1.25 trillion. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again. In this case, the definition of insanity is letting politicians who created this mess throw taxpayers even further under the bus.  ~The Patriot Post

War Crime!: Placing a Note in the Western Wall
HBkNg_BmmOnjS9_iRr6O2ia3GacPw1Qjnizdy54BhGIphiFduTe08NywVJuwUG2UKZq6yUBjVLVDt0PJcSU2ZOyQOw=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710xby Alan M. Dershowitz
{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Last week, in Israel, I committed a flagrant violation of international law. This "war crime" consisted of placing a note asking for "peace, salaam, shalom" in the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest site... The reason the note requesting peace constituted "a flagrant violation of international law" and a "war crime" is that the United Nations Security Council, in a Resolution adopted in December 2016, declared that all areas captured by Israel during the 1967 War are illegally occupied territories. That includes the Western Wall, the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem and the access roads on Mount Scopus to the Hebrew University and Hadassah Hospital. Former US President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama demanded that his permanent representative to the United Nations not veto this one-sided, wrong-headed, ahistorical, bigoted, and anti-peace Resolution. scumbag/liar-nObama changed American policy by allowing such a resolution to be enacted by the Security Council as revenge on Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who, quite correctly, opposed the very bad deal scumbag/liar-nObama made with Iran enabling it to develop nuclear weapons. Although scumbag/liar-nObama himself had once stood in front of the Western Wall and placed a note in it, he now apparently regards Judaism's holiest place as territory illegally occupied by Israel. He is dead wrong, but that does not change the Security Council Resolution. So now I, and doubtless many others, have not only willfully and deliberately committed a violation of international law, we are also guilty of a war crime, because building or using civilian structures on illegally occupied territory is a war crime; and Israel built, and I used, the promenade in front of the Western Wall after Israel recaptured it during a defensive war. Let me be clear: I intend to commit this crime during every visit to Israel. Call it an act of civil disobedience, or call it an act which simply recognizes the absurdity and illegality of the Security Council Resolution, despite its passage and lack of veto by the United States, which abstained...   https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14223/western-wall-note

{ dailysignal.com } ~ The U.S. House is putting to a vote this week a bill that would threaten the health coverage of 1.5 million people... H.R. 987 would overturn a Trump administration regulatory-relief policy, while wastefully allocating new taxpayer money to programs proven to fail. The bill would block the Trump administration’s relief efforts that help consumers access “short-term, limited-duration” insurance. While these plans were unnecessarily restricted by the scumbag/liar-nObama administration, the Trump administration has eased regulations to make incremental progress toward expanded affordable health coverage choices. The House bill would reverse this progress, capping duration of the plans at 90 days, and stripping consumers of the right to renew their coverage. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) finds the bill would result in 1.5 million people going without the insurance coverage they choose, and estimates that one-third of those would remain uninsured. In addition, the CBO found that the bill would only negligibly affect premiums for Affordable Care Act-compliant insurance a 1 percent reduction in premiums. The bill would allocate an additional $100 million annually for outreach and educational activities in healthcare.gov states. The premise: More people would enroll in exchange-based insurance if they were better informed. That theory is belied by the fact that enrollment has been falling in exchange-based plans since 2016, despite efforts by governments at all levels to boost sales. One state alone California spent $110 million last year in such efforts, only to see enrollment fall by 5 percent... Government should get out of insurance business.

Protecting Faith in a World Filled with 
Religious Persecution and Repression

{ spectator.org } ~ The Easter bombings in Sri Lanka offered a reminder both dramatic and tragic that religious minorities suffer brutally around the world... What made that instance unusual is that members of a minority faith, Muslims, targeted members of another minority faith, Christians. The more usual persecutors in Sri Lanka are Buddhist nationalists, who routinely target both Christians and Muslims. But Sri Lanka is not considered to be one of the world’s worst examples of religious repression. In many nations government restriction combines with social hostility to make life extraordinarily difficult for those who believe differently. The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom has just released its latest report on religious liberty around the world. The Commission highlighted 33 countries or other entities for their uniquely harsh treatment of people of faith. Talking about “religious liberty” has an ivory tower quality to it. But whether members of minority faiths are free typically has a huge impact on their daily lives: discrimination, harassment, and persecution, often violent, are a constant for many people. USCIRF cited 16 nations as “countries of particular concern.” That means systematic, ongoing, egregious violations” of religious freedom. Five non-state actors were rated as “entities of particular concern.” Following slightly behind were 12 countries placed on the Commission’s Tier 2 list, meaning they met one or two of the three tests for CPC status.The 16 worst nations are Burma/Myanmar, Central African Republic, China, Eritrea, Iran, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam. The five terrible entities are Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (Syria), Houthis (Yemen), Islamic State (Syria and Iraq), al-Shabab (Somali), and Taliban (Afghanistan). The slightly less bad persecutors are Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Cuba, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Laos, Malaysia, and Turkey. There are two broad categories of persecutors. The most important are Islamic, mostly in Muslim majority states. The genesis of violence in 10 of 16 and five of five resulted from Islam. Seven of the 16 are communist or former communist the three Central Asian states are both Muslim and communist, though in this case the latter factor likely predominates. Burma is Buddhist/authoritarian. Eritrea is generic totalitarian, if such a thing can exist. Nine of the 12 Tier 2 are Muslim. Four are communist or former communist the two Central Asian nations are both but lean communist on persecution. India is majority Hindu. In only two of the 33 named are Christians also persecutors. Central African Republic is majority Christian and politics is entwined with the religious violence; there has been Christian retaliation against Muslim communities. Moscow appears to persecute in support of the Russian Orthodox Church. Otherwise Christians are long out of the persecution business, thankfully...

{ dailysignal.com } ~ For those of you who survived the Great GOP Tax Cut Massacre, things are finally looking up. The unemployment rate fell to 3.6% last month, the lowest level since 1969... We’ve now experienced over a full year of unemployment at 4% or lower. The economy beat projections, adding another 263,000 jobs in April. Wages are rising. It was Larry Summers, scumbag/lar-Bill Clinton’s former treasury secretary and Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s White House economic adviser, who warned that tax reform would lead to over 10,000 dead Americans every year in December of 2017. Summers, considered a reasonable moderate by today’s political standards, was just one of the many fearmongers. The same month, after cautioning that passage of tax cuts would portend “Armageddon,” then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pulosi explained that the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a reform of corporate tax codes and a wide-ranging relief, was “the worst bill in the history of the United States Congress.” Worse than the Fugitive Slave Act? Worse than the Espionage Act? Worse than congressional approval of the internment of Japanese-Americans? That’s a really bad bill. The tenor of left-wing cable news and punditry was predictably panic-stricken. After asserting that the cuts wouldn’t help create a single job, Bruce Bartlett told MSNBC that tax relief was “really akin to rape.” Kurt Eichenwald tweeted that “America died tonight.” “I’m a Depression historian,” read the headline on a Washington Post op-ed. “The GOP tax bill is straight out of 1929,” proclaimed the same writer. And so on. None of this is even getting into the MSM’s straight news coverage, which persistently and falsely painted the bill as a tax cut for the wealthy. “One-Third of Middle Class Families Could End up Paying More Under the GOP Tax Plan,” noted Money magazine... They were so wrong and yet won't say they were wrong.   https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/05/10/liberals-were-very-wrong-about-tax-cuts-again/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTXpVNE9HVTFZemM0T1RZdyIsInQiOiJ4UDBTV3ZMT3JhZnNcL3hGcGxiQVNMN1BxTGlnem9cL0NYdzBZM0Y2QkZtcGc0SHFienkzeDZDNW4wMDNPT3JNaWRieXk4dFwvTDhCdEVnWXAxc2FzeGU1d3N6NitmWFJPVTBaT3VmUnZUbk5ZYUFURmVIZnhpRWYwR3hhb0FMNExzZCJ9

worthless-Ilhan Omar in U.S. illegally?
 Serious lawsuit seeks answer

by wnd.com:  Former Justice Department prosecutor and Freedom Watch founder Larry Klayman, who previously petitioned the Department of Homeland Security and the House of Representatives to investigate... Rep. worthless-Ihlan Omar, D-Minn., to determine her eligibility for naturalization, now has gone to court.
The Muslim freshman lawmaker has drawn rebuke from her own party leaders for anti-Semitic tweets while in office. And before she was elected, she tweeted, “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.” Klayman in March petitioned DHS and the House for an investigation of worthless-Omar on several grounds. Now he’s filing a complaint with U.S. District Court in Washington seeking a court order that would require DHS to investigate. Klayman said in a statement that DHS did not take any action on his administrative complaint, which alleged immigration fraud and association with terrorist support groups. “Rep. worthless-Ilhan Omar and her House colleague worthloess-Rashida Tlaib who just yesterday announced that she gets a calming feeling from the Holocaust must be held accountable for their actions. Both are not only vehemently anti-Judeo-Christian, but represent a threat to the well-being of all Americans who believe in freedom of religion and the vision of our Founding Fathers. Both are not just a disgrace, but demonstrative of the rapid decline of our institutions,” Klayman said. He alleges worthless-Omar committed “marriage fraud,” which, according to the Immigration Marriage Fraud Amendments Act of 1986, is punishable by five years in prison for any person “who knowingly enters into a marriage for the purpose of evading any provision of the immigration laws.” At the time she was given permission to enter the U.S. from Somali, she already was in “the resort city of Mombasa, Kenya, famous for its magnificent beaches on the Indian Ocean, and a magnet for wealthy tourists from Europe and around the world,” he said. That means she was not living in a dangerous environment that would qualify her for entry into the U.S...

Aside from perhaps the Notre Dame Cathedral fire and the birth of the newest British royal, the proverbial American “man on the street” might have difficulty naming another recent news story of significance from overseas.

Yet less than 1,500 miles off our shores — half the distance of a cross-country flight — there’s an ongoing geopolitical conflict that provides the latest test of a nearly two-centuries-old American operating principle, the Monroe Doctrine. In layman’s terms, the foreign-policy approach of our fifth president told the rest of the world to lay off the nations of the Americas as they naturally fell under our sphere of influence.

In January, Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro was again sworn in as president despite being selected last year in what Vice President Mike Pence called a “fake election with a fake outcome.” The highly irregular circumstances behind the 2018 election have led most Western nations to refuse to recognize Maduro as the country’s leader, contending that the presidency is vacant according to Venezuela’s constitution.

This scenario of a constitutionally mandated presidential vacancy means that leadership falls to the head of Venezuela’s National Assembly. That man is 35-year-old Juan Guaido, who was just chosen in December to lead the nation’s rightful legislative body. Rightful or not, however, the sole possessors of the nation’s guns form the basis of Maduro’s support. Aside from controlling most of the military, Maduro is also being propped up by three key nations still in his corner: Cuba, China, and Russia. In the latter case, therein lies the rub.

Our Thomas Gallatin touched on the issue last week, but the dictator who “was ready to leave this morning as we understand it,” according to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, was talked out of it: “The Russians indicated he should stay.”

Last Friday, President Donald Trump said he “had a very good talk with [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin — probably over an hour.” As White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders breezily explained, “The president’s primary focus throughout the call was about helping the people of Venezuela, making clear that the United States stands with the people of Venezuela, and the importance of making sure those individuals are able to get the food and the water and the medical supplies needed.” But others had a different take on this chumminess, claiming it ran counter to American global interests — and to his own administration officials’ statements.

While there are times that President Trump confounds the so-called conventional wisdom by going against the grain, the long history of Russian involvement with Venezuela is troubling. A Wall Street Journal editorial provides a quick and handy guide to some recent developments, but Trump is apparently taking Putin at his word that he’s “not looking at all to get involved in Venezuela other than he’d like to see something positive happen for Venezuela.”

“I feel the same way,” Trump added. “We want to help on a humanitarian basis.”

But given the hypersensitivity of Democrats (and their media enablers) to all things Russian, the mere appearance of working together on anything with Putin creates a lot of bad optics, including the shrill prediction  about National Security Advisor John Bolton resigning his post in frustration and giving the Democrats another excuse to pursue impeachment for collusion.

The U.S. has little interest in a military intervention, so perhaps this is an instance of Trump trying to kill the Russians with kindness. It was, after all, another Republican who once told the world to “speak softly and carry a big stick.”  ~The Patriot Post

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ A huge controversy erupted last year when President Trump declassified parts of the FBI's secret request to wiretap former Trump campaign volunteer foreign policy adviser Carter Page... Defenders and critics of the president argued over whether the October 2016 warrant application to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court relied extensively on the so-called Steele dossier, which was a collection of anti-Trump allegations compiled by the former British spy Christopher Steele on behalf of the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign. They also argued over whether the warrant adequately informed the court that the dossier was, in fact, a work of political opposition research, rather than legitimate intelligence gathering. The arguments ended in impasse, with defenders and detractors set in their positions. Now, however, we have new evidence, in the form of the dirty cop-Mueller report, to evaluate the Page FISA application. We can ask: Was the information the FBI relied on true? Were the FBI's representations to the court accurate? The answers do not bode well for the bureau. The warrant application made a three-point argument. Point 1 was that Russia was trying to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Point 2 was that Page had a history of involvement with Russia and Russians. Point 3 was that Page was a Russian agent conspiring with powerful Russian officials to influence the election. Point 1 was true. Point 2 was true. Point 3 was not, and that is when the application went off the rails. Large parts of the publicly-released version of the application are blacked out. Trump is said to be considering releasing some of the currently redacted sections. There are sentences with a word blacked out. There are entire sentences blacked out. There are entire paragraphs and entire pages blacked out. All of that makes the application difficult to read and fully understand...   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/byron-york-why-was-fbi-so-wrong-in-trump-russia-wiretap-warrant?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_05/13/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief&rid=5261

Constitutional Crisis or

{ spectator.org } ~ The same Beltway braniacs who assured us that the President was in league with Vladimir Putin and sundry other Rȕskī reprobates now claim he has precipitated a constitutional crisis... House Judiciary Committee chairman scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler claims Trump is acting like a “king” by refusing to relitigate the Russia hoax, allow already-interrogated aides to be requestioned, or permit partisan congressional staffers to rummage through his tax and financial records. House Speaker Nancy Pulosi concurs that a crisis is at hand: “I do agree with Chairman scumbag liar-Nadler because the administration has decided that they’re not going to honor their oath of office.” Yet, the “get Trump” crowd is obviously growing increasingly frustrated that scumbag liar-Nadler and Pulosi have taken no serious action to resolve the dire threat they claim President Trump poses to the republic. The New York Times, for example, published a column by Michelle Goldberg Friday titled, “If This Is a Constitutional Crisis, Act Like It.” Goldberg suggests that contempt votes against administration officials are all very well and good, but they are primarily symbolic and usually lead to protracted court battles that rarely resolve the crises that initially triggered them. Goldberg argues that Pulosi and scumbag liar-Nadler should take more radical measures: Pulosi is a sharp and pragmatic woman … But it is incoherent to argue that Trump constitutes an existential threat to the Constitution, and that Congress should wait to use the Constitution’s primary defense against such a threat.… In the face of an administration that is trying to amass dictatorial powers, Democrats need to bring to bear all the powers of their own. Trump’s outright rejection of congressional authority makes impeachment proceedings necessary, but even impeachment alone is not sufficient. Note that last bit about impeachment not being “sufficient” to solve the crisis? Goldberg urges Congress to “enforce its own orders, including by sending out the House’s sergeant-at-arms to arrest people.” But even Pulosi isn’t that crazy. She knows only a tiny percentage of the public supports impeaching the President, much less the physical arrest of his Cabinet officials. The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found that only 17 percent of the voters support ousting Trump, including only 19 percent of Independents. Moreover, the RealClearPolitics average of recent polls shows Trump’s approval rating at its highest level since his inauguration. But the will of the people means little to Trump’s increasingly irrational antagonists. Former secretary of labor Robert Reich, for example, published a column in the Guardian Saturday that illustrates his inability to think straight about the President: “It’s a constitutional crisis all right.” Having discharged his duty to parrot that canard, Reich explains why it would be futile and politically perilous for the Democrats to impeach Trump. He then says they should do so anyway because “it is the right thing to do.” But there is no consensus, even among liberal legal scholars, that we’re in the midst of a constitutional crisis. In Slate, Fordham’s Jed Shugerman says not...

Amid Gulf Tensions, UAE Confirms ‘Sabotage’ 
of Four Vessels in Waters South of Hormuz

{ cnsnews.com } ~ The United Arab Emirates’ foreign ministry confirmed Sunday that four commercial ships had been “sabotaged” near a major oil tanker hub about 80 nautical miles from the Persian Gulf’s Strait of Hormuz... but denied reports claiming that the port itself had been targeted and disabled. Reports about multiple blasts early Sunday morning come at a time of stepped up tensions in the Persian Gulf, amid ongoing Iranian threats to block the crucial chokepoint and the deployment of a U.S. aircraft carrier group and bombers to the region. Saudi energy minister Khalid al-Falih confirmed early Monday that two Saudi oil tankers were damaged in the incident, which he said occurred as they were heading towards the Gulf. One had been en route to pick up crude from a Saudi terminal, to be delivered to the U.S., the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) quoted him as saying. Al-Falih denounced this attack, saying it was aimed at undermining freedom of navigation and the security of oil supplies. The incident was reported two days after the U.S. Maritime Administration warned of potential risk of attacks on ships in the region, including oil tankers and U.S. naval vessels, by “Iran or its proxies.” On Sunday Al-Mayadeen, a Lebanese media outlet viewed as sympathetic towards Hezbollah and Iran, claimed that heavy explosions had occurred in the port of Fujairah – one of the seven emirates making up the UAE – and cited unnamed “sources” as saying U.S. and French warplanes had been seen flying over the area at the time...

Discrimination and Disparities II

{ frontpagemag.com } ~ My previous column discussed Dr. Thomas Sowell's newest book Discrimination and Disparities, which is an enlarged and revised edition of an earlier version... In this review, I am going to focus on one of his richest chapters titled "Social Visions and Human Consequences." Sowell challenges the seemingly invincible fallacy "that group outcomes in human endeavors would tend to be equal, or at least comparable or random, if there were no biased interventions, on the one hand, nor genetic deficiencies, on the other." But disparate impact statistics carries the day among academicians, lawyers and courts as evidence of discrimination. Sowell gives the example of blacks, who make up close to 70 percent of NFL and AFL players in professional football. Blacks are greatly over represented among star players but almost nonexistent among field goal kickers and punters. Probably the only reason why lawsuits are not brought against team owners is that the same people hire running backs and field goal kickers. One wonders whether anyone has considered the possibility that professional black players do not want to be punters and field goal kickers? Different social classes raise their children differently. Studies have shown that children whose parents are professional heard more words per hour than children whose families are on welfare. Studies show that professional parents used "more words and more different words ... more multiclause sentences, more past and future verb tenses. ... The ratio of affirmative words to negative words was six to one with parents who had professional occupation." By contrast, families on welfare used discouraging words more than two to one: words such as "Don't," "Stop," "Quit," and "Shut up." Sowell sarcastically asks are we to believe that children raised in such different ways, many years before they reach an employer, a college admissions office or crime scene are the same in capabilities, orientation and limitations? Social justice warriors ignore many differences that have little or nothing to do with discrimination but have an enormous impact on outcomes. Age is one of those factors. Median age differences between groups, sometimes of a decade or two will have an enormous impact on observed group outcomes. The median age for American Jews is slightly over 50 years old and that of Latinos is 28. Just on median age alone, would one be surprised at significant group income disparity and other differences related to age? Sowell says that a single inconspicuous difference in circumstance can make a huge historical difference in human outcomes. During the 1940s, Ireland experienced a potato famine. Potatoes were the principle food of the Irish. That famine led to the deaths of a million people and caused 2 million to flee. The same variety of potato that was grown in Ireland was also grown in the U.S. with no crop failure. The source of Ireland's crop failure has been traced to a fertilizer used on both sides of the Atlantic. The difference was that fertilizer contained a fungus that thrived in the mild and moist climate of Ireland but did not in the hot, dry climate of Idaho and other potato growing areas of the U.S. That one small difference caused massive human tragedy...

50 Years Later, ABC 'Uncovers' 
'Little-Known Story of Mary Jo Kopechne'

Alexa Moutevelis Coombs 

 { newsbusters.org } ~ Almost 10 years after the death of Democrat Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy of Massachusetts, and 50 years after the death of Mary Jo Kopechne  -- and almost two years after a major Hollywood film on the incident -- the media are starting to finally reveal the truth about what happened at Chappaquiddick.

ABC’s 1969 docuseries episode “The Girl in the Car” on Tuesday night finally put the focus on the real victim, Ms. Kopechne (despite Cokie Roberts calling Chappaquiddick “yet another huge tragedy for the Kennedy family” in one cringe-worthy line). ABC’s 20/20 Twitter account promoted, “The little-known story of Mary Jo Kopechne, who died after Senator Ted Kennedy abandoned her in a submerged car. WATCH as #1969ABC uncovers her story…” which begs the question, why is Kopechne’s story so little-known and why is ABC only now uncovering it 50 years later?

In press materials, ABC admitted the media’s culpability in taking the spotlight off of Kopechne and putting it on Kennedy, stating that “her story has largely been lost to history as the media and the public focused on the man whose career was forever damaged by the accident, rather than the bright and young woman who did not live to tell us what really happened on that mysterious night.”

After so many years covering for the “Liberal Lion" of the Senate, there actually was a reckoning with how the media’s “infatuation” with the Kennedys buried Kopechne’s story in the episode. 
 
Reporter: For Mary Jo Kopechne, the young secretary who died early Saturday when senator -- 
  
 Liz McNeil: Everyone knows the name of Mary Jo Kopechne, but so little was known about her. In fact, almost nothing is known about her.

 Reporter: A young women in the car with him was drowned.

 Reporter 2: Before the young blond was killed, many --

 Liz McNeil: One of the most famous headlines after the car accident is in "The New York Daily News," in which they say, "Teddy escapes, blonde drowns." And in a way, that almost sums up how she's characterized in the aftermath of the car accident.

 Elly Kluge: I remember the headline because that's what activated me to speak out for her. She was not, quote, 28, blonde, ex-secretary of Bobby Kennedy. She was a solid human being with good values, moral, ethical, devoted to the betterment of society.

 1969 ABC Anchor: But the questions are muted by compassion for the last male member in this generation of a family that is at once the luckiest and unluckiest in the nation.

 Bill Nelson: I think that a lot of the major news outlets had an infatuation with the Kennedys. And unfortunately, Teddy fell under that umbrella. They thought that they were doing JFK and Bobby a favor by treating their brother softly.
To finally tell her story, 1969 interviewed several family members and friends of Kopechne, including her cousin Bill Nelson, who said, “The public fascination of Chappaquiddick was never really about Mary Jo. Mary Jo unfortunately ended up being a footnote in her own death.”

The episode also delved into details that some in the media were still calling “character assassination” when the theatrical drama Chappaquiddick depicted them last year. Both the search and rescue diver and accident investigator on the scene in 1969 were interviewed and said that Kopechne died of suffocation, not drowning as the medical examiner report said – but no autopsy was done. Her body was found pushed up against a small pocket of air in the back of the car. The diver, John Farrar, called out Kennedy’s shameful actions after the crash when Kopechne was still alive but running out of air, “Since he had plenty of time to get help, why didn't he get help? Might have saved her life.”

Instead of calling for help, in the next 10 hours, Kennedy made 17 calls, went out for coffee with friends, then met with two lawyers before finally reporting the accident – after authorities had already found his car and Kopechne’s body. From Kennedy’s shady behavior and inconsistencies to the grand jury being stymied, 1969 casts a lot of doubt on Kennedy’s story in just an hour’s time.

“The whole system was manipulated,” Nelson contended. “A girl died that night in his car due to negligence. After they settled the grand jury, he didn't have to say anything more.”

Accident Investigator Bob Molla told interviewers, “My feelings, he used his political influence to get him off with the easiest outcome possible. He used his privilege as a senator and as a well-to-do Kennedy.”

Now, 10 years after his death, that privilege has finally expired.

Constitutional expert on 'Life, Liberty & Levin' 
says Democrats undermining the 
idea of democracy and justice

by Victor Garcia  
{ foxnews.com } ~ In an interview that aired Sunday night on "Life, Liberty & Levin," constitutional expert John Eastman said... the actions taken by Democrats in office actually have undermined not only President Trump but democracy and justice in the United States. "The purpose of government is to secure those rights against any tyranny that would take them away whether again of one or many or what have you. We've now got a significant portion of our population that thinks the purpose of government is otherwise to redistribute rights to take from some and give to others. The founders understood that to be the very definition of injustice or an unjust law," said Eastman, who is the Henry Salvatori professor of law & community service at Chapman University Fowler School of Law. Eastman also said the dirty cop-Mueller investigation, the House Judiciary Committee's actions, and politically motivated judges were challenging not only the results of the 2016 election but the "very notion we govern ourselves." "And then this election and what we're seeing here not just with this investigation but with the broader investigations and the use of subpoenas and federal judges that had been nominated and confirmed by President scumbag/liar-nObama appointed by President scumbag/liar-nObama blocking this President's actions perfectly legitimate actions," Eastman told Levin. "So this is really a challenge to the results of the last election which means it's a challenge to the American people and the very notion that we govern ourselves." On Wednesday,  House Judiciary Chairman scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., declared a "constitutional crisis" after his committee voted to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt  for defying a subpoena for Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s unredacted Russia report and underlying documents. Since the dirty cop-Mueller report was released, Democrats and Republicans have clashed over whether or not Trump obstructed justice and Barr's summary interpretation. Eastman criticized dirty cop-Mueller for not delivering a decisive conclusion, saying his report "presumes guilt" and is altering America's concept of "justice."...  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/constitutional-expert-life-liberty-levin-democrats-justice?fbclid=IwAR3D_LHNZ8gzifWoHSl0yWQ9PQpNS2XTu96B2XW4iEobB6ES-FkHfrsYJqg

{ dailycaller.com } ~ The scumbag/liar-nObama White House kept tabs on a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for information on former Secretary of State scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s email accounts... that the State Department improperly denied, according to newly released emails. The emails, which were provided to Judicial Watch, show for the first time that the scumbag/liar-nObama White House was aware of the scumbag/liar-Clinton-related FOIA request, which the liberal watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) submitted to the State Department in December 2012. The State Department denied the request in May 2013, claiming that no responsive records existed. That despite officials at the State Department, the White House and even President scumbag/liar-nObama himself knowing that scumbag/liar-Clinton used a personal email account for government business. The State Department’s inspector general determined in a report released on Jan. 7, 2016 that the State Department’s denial of the CREW request was “inaccurate and incomplete.” It is not clear from the emails why the White House was interested in the request. But Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton has a theory. “These documents suggest the scumbag/liar-nObama White House knew about the scumbag/liar-Clinton email lies being told to the public at least as early as December 2012,” he said in a statement.“The scumbag/liar-nObama White House orchestrated the scumbag/liar-Clinton email cover-up,” he added. Several FOIA requests were filed for information on scumbag/liar-Clinton’s email accounts during her tenure at the State Department, which ended Feb. 1, 2013. The most specific request was the one from CREW, which was submitted on Dec. 6, 2012...

Judge Puts Fight For Trump 
Financial Records On The Fast Trackrk98Q1a6OpKgh1EfHvlJ1RdwQAwKXYQXfs4JKNPNz8JIOgwSiA2y9JLJe3UiYLFtcQhlel-ZTxW96Hf91VUBqLtJgfEC6qw9IIMwMjLhEcfMkIJFSIg3tuhOMHQy41PPChZPeRgpoipoebRAcBMjw3o=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710xby Kevin Daley
{ dailycaller.com } ~ A federal judge in Washington, D.C., is speeding up a dispute between congressional Democrats and President Donald Trump over a subpoena for records... from the president’s accounting firm, Mazars USA. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta said in a new order that he will decide the case after a May 14 hearing, far earlier than initially anticipated. The accelerated pace could give the House Committee on Oversight and Reform access to Trump’s accounting records sooner than they had hoped, should Mehta rule in their favor. “The sole question before the court — is the House Oversight Committee’s issuance of a subpoena to Mazars USA LLP for financial records of President Trump and various associated entities a valid exercise of legislative power? — is fully briefed, and the court can discern no benefit from an additional round of legal arguments,” Mehta wrote. “Nor is there an obvious need to delay ruling on the merits to allow for development of the factual record.” Mehta’s order gives all sides until Monday afternoon to object to his decision to put the case on the fast track. The Oversight Committee issued a subpoena to Mazars on April 15 after hearing testimony from Michael Cohen, a onetime Trump confidant. Cohen told the panel that the president and his accountants inflated his assets or omitted liabilities to meet his current needs, like acquiring a new entity or dodging real estate taxes. In turn, the president sued Mazars and top Democrats on the Oversight Committee to prevent disclosure of the records. Trump and his attorneys say Democrats are pursuing the accounting records as part of a partisan fishing expedition, making the subpoena illegitimate. Congressional subpoenas must be connected to a “legitimate legislative purpose.”... Why are they wasting taxpayer money to go after something that has nothing to do with governing for the people.

Don't You Know It's the End of the World?

{ americanthinker.com } ~ The annual United Nations Global Environment Outlook is just out, and it goes way beyond anything previously "reported." Environmentalists are desperate to eliminate fossil fuels and shift energy production to their favored industries... so they've discovered that the climate is not just worsening. Rather, it's the end of the world. The report was the product of an organization that calls itself "the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda." I thought individual countries set their own agendas, not a bunch of bureaucrats with headquarters in Nairobi, but the U.N. begs to differ. As headlined in the Washington Post, the report stresses that one million species face extinction.  According to the climate experts — mostly professors whose research funding depends on pushing the climate crisis agenda — climate change is threatening "the foundations of our economies, livelihoods, food security, health, and quality of life worldwide." Not much left out there. In sum, a global catastrophe. But is it, really? Ten Americans died in tornadoes in 2018, the lowest number on record despite annual predictions of mega-storms resulting from climate change. The problem, according to the U.N. report, is that the world's population has tripled since 1950, and as that population becomes more affluent, it is consuming more resources and causing more pollution. Total world GDP in 1950 was $9.25 trillion; by 2015, it had grown to $108 trillion. In other words, the world's population was nearly 12 times as well off in 2015(and more so today as in 1950. So let's get back to 1950. The report conveniently fails to note that in 1950, the global standard of living was much, much lower and that tens of millions of humans were starving. That doesn't sound like much worth going back to. It's interesting that this year's U.N. environment report got much bleaker just as the U.S. entered its presidential election season. We're led to believe that in one year, we've gone from "bad" to "catastrophe" just as President Trump comes up for re-election. Interesting coincidence. Environmentalists aren't the only ones with "end of the world" scenarios. loose lips-Joe Biden claims to support the New Green Deal, but for now he's focusing on income inequality. He says we're "losing" the middle class — don't know where they're going, but for the middle class, it's the end of the world. This despite a report from the Washington Post that middle-class income rose above $61,000 for the first time in 2017. Those incomes have continued growing in 2018 and 2019, along with 401k accumulations and other retirement savings. So where have all the flowers gone?...

This Overwhelmed Mexican Immigration
Detention Center Has Had Six Mass
Escapes In Six Weeks

{ dailycaller.com } ~ Illegal immigrants have staged six mass escapes at a Mexican immigration detention center on the country’s southern border in under six weeks... Roughly two dozen Cuban immigrants escaped after rushing the gates and overwhelming the guards at the Siglo XXI station in Tapachula, Chiapas, on Sunday, Mexican media outlets  reported. A Reuters photographer on scene captured the mass escape as well. One photo shows a federal police officer standing and watching as migrants run past her. Tapachula sits near Mexico’s southern border with Guatemala, making it a pressure point in the ongoing immigration crisis. The detention center has been the site of ongoing protests and riots from detainees and activists over deportations, alleged mistreatment and poor living conditions. Sunday’s revolt marked the sixth mass escape at the center since April, Mexican media outlets reported. Roughly 100 Cuban immigrants escaped the detention center on May 7 and another 90 Cuban immigrants fled on May 4, according to Mexican media and officials. Those mass escapes pale in comparison to the one on April 25, when roughly 1,300 immigrants bolted from the detention center. Riots have become common at the Siglo XXI center as well. Cuban and African immigrants staged a riot on April 10 to prevent authorities from carrying out deportations...

China 'Broke' Deal on U.S. Trade Talks

Political Editors:  Effective at 12:01 ET this morning, President Donald Trump raised tariffs from 10% to 25% on $200 billion in Chinese imports — a move that surprised many who had assumed a new trade agreement was close at hand. “They broke the deal,” Trump asserted, adding, “so they’re flying in, the vice premier … is flying in — good man — but they broke the deal. They can’t do that, so they’ll be paying.”

Reuters reports that upon receiving a diplomatic cable from Beijing late last Friday of the nearly 150-page draft agreement, it became apparent to the Trump administration that “systematic edits” had been made and “the document was riddled with reversals by China that undermined core U.S. demands.”

Reuters further reports, “In each of the seven chapters of the draft trade deal, China had deleted its commitments to change laws to resolve core complaints that caused the United States to launch a trade war: Theft of U.S. intellectual property and trade secrets; forced technology transfers; competition policy; access to financial services; and currency manipulation.”

To put it simply, the Chinese are not negotiating in good faith, and Trump believes he knows why. “The reason for the China pullback & attempted renegotiation of the Trade Deal is the sincere HOPE that they will be able to ‘negotiate’ with loose lips-Joe Biden or one of the very weak Democrats, and thereby continue to ripoff the United States ($500 Billion a year) for years to come.” That said, Trump has still left the door open for further negotiations, noting that Chinese Vice Premier Liu was “now coming to the U.S. to make a deal.” Maybe Beijing will take the president more seriously now.  ~The Patriot Post

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Boy howdy, Maria Bartiromo has the big picture of the 2015/2016 political weaponization of the intelligence apparatus exactly right. In this interesting interview with Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham... both Bartriromo and Graham discuss the scale and scope of the 2015/2016 effort to stop Trump. Interestingly, in a shift of tone, Senator Graham outlines what this surveillance operation means when contrast against the structures of our constitutional government. Traditionally Lindsey Graham would bury any issue adverse to the institutions of the DC administrative state. So there’s two possibilities here: (A) Graham has fundamentally changed his outlook toward the dangers of the institutions within government; or, (B) Graham is doing a full ‘Castellanos‘ and embracing the controversy in order to control the risk to the administrative state with intent to protect it. The latter is tradition. The best way for DC to protect itself from the mob’s approach is to lead it themselves. The modern GOPe club has used this defense sending agents to the front of the grassroots anger in order to control the outcome. [Fast-n-Furious, IRS targeting, Benghazi, etc.]...

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Sunday accused Senate Intelligence Chairman rino-Richard Burr, R-N.C., of working with Democrats to lay a trap for Donald Trump Jr... by subpoenaing him to testify before the committee despite the federal investigation having concluded. “I think it’s a real travesty of justice. I think it’s very unfair to the president and the president‘s family on this. dirty cop-Mueller spent $35 million and two years, and the president was cleared," Paul told John Catsimatidis, radio host for AM 970 in New York, Sunday morning. Paul said he doesn't see any positive reason the Republican chairman could have brought in Trump Jr. “It can only lead to mischief ... This is not a friendly maneuver. This is an adversarial maneuver to bring him in under oath. And the Democrats will try to trip him up and get him to make some kind of mistake," Paul said. Paul said he expects Democratic senators to use dino-Burr's subpoena to "go after the Trump family" and "trick" President Trump's eldest son into saying something that contradicts his previous statements. Then, lawmakers could go after prosecuting Trump Jr. The Senate Intelligence Committee is nearing completion in its own investigation into the Trump campaign's relationship with the Russian government during the 2016 election. rino-Burr issued a subpoena for Trump Jr. weeks ago, but the action was first reported last week...

{ foxnews.com } ~ Communist Party members in a central Chinese province were told Christianity is harmful to their country during a recent seminar... Religious experts see it as a sign the government is continuing its crackdown on Christianity and other religious minorities, with Christian persecution at historic highs around the world. The Hebi Municipal Radio Administrative Bureau gave a presentation titled "Christianity’s Enormous Harm on China’s Security," to party members in the city of Hebi in China's Henan province, reported ChinaAid, a Christian human rights organization that promotes religious freedom and rule of law in China. “The Chinese government often views religions, including Christianity, as foreign attempts to undermine its rule, even though there is no evidential basis for such a claim,” the ChinaAid report states. “As a result, they often try to suppress religious adherents, and they openly forbid Communist Party members from practicing a religion.” The telecommunications agency allegedly encouraged the communist party members to maintain "correct views" about religion and avoid being persuaded by its ideology. Hebi Municipal Radio Administrative Bureau in Henan publicly admitted to holding the seminar on its WeChat page before deleting it two days later, the Union of Catholic Asian News (UCAN) reported...   https://www.foxnews.com/world/chinese-warn-christianity-enormous-harm-communist-society?fbclid=IwAR2itAFN6E6EArW37gKkvbhkJ4QEUgDWL7A376z4xhny0x4DbBDe5kAWLSE

Chaos in Sudan and the rest

{ latimes.com } ~ Two African dictators, who between them ruled 85 million people, were ousted from office last month. This was no coincidence... The popular unrest that dislodged Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir and Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika is part of a wave of conflict engulfing northern Africa and posing grave risks to stability in the region and beyond. The discord is likely to produce major new refugee flows and increase the potential for a dramatic expansion of Islamic State and Al Qaeda in northern Africa. It’s not that this region hasn’t known conflict before. But even during the Arab Spring, which rocked states large and small, only small states experienced the kind of total collapse that can usher in major transnational threats. There was the 2011 revolution in Libya, for example, which removed the government and spawned a civil war that continues today. But Libya’s total population is just 6.5 million. Libya’s destabilization contributed to a rebellion and coup in neighboring Mali population 19.7 million. Combined with the long-term crisis afflicting Somalia population 15.6 million, that sounds like a full-blown regional crisis. But these three states together are barely the size of one of the two states now in danger of collapsing, Algeria and Sudan. Six weeks of massive demonstrations in Algeria population 42.7 million forced the longtime president to step down on April 2. Protesters are now seeking to dismantle the country’s entire corrupt system. The protests have been peaceful so far, but the situation is fraught—the army may take control, and many potential trajectories are violent. A turbulent Algeria would be hard-pressed to remain the bulwark it has been against chaos from neighboring Libya and Mali. Change has also reached Sudan population 42.5 million, where the army deposed the longtime president on April 11 after four months of protests and crackdowns. This military coup is likely the preamble to internal conflict and continued unrest. Sudan, though known for its history of conflict, has been stable in recent years compared to several of its neighbors and has made some progress on counter-terrorism. These gains will reverse if it dissolves into chaos...

FBI Raids Alabama Terror Camp

{ kerrypicket.com } ~ The FBI uncovered a homegrown terror training camp in Alabama Friday owned by a group of terrorists headed up by the son of Siraj Ibn Wahhaj... an Imam who once caused a stir at the 2012  Democratic National Convention in Charlotte. This is the second domestic terror training camp in two years that the younger Wahhaj has been connected to. According to Sinclair Broadcasting, the FBI field office in Mobile described the rundown plot of land in Macon County as a “makeshift military-style obstacle course,” on property owned by a small group of jihadists and Wahhaj. “Just because you’re in a small town or a small state does not mean you might not potentially have individuals engaged in the types of activities that would call into question threats to national security,” Tim Fuhrman, Former Special Agent with the FBI field office in Mobile, said. The land reportedly appears similar to the terror compound found in New Mexico last year, where federal prosecutors say Wahhaj and four other suspects were teaching children how to carry out terror attacks on American soil. The remains of a child were found on the New Mexico property along with 11 malnourished children. Wahhaj’s father distanced himself from his son when the New Mexico compound case came to light, claiming he previously cut ties with his son...   https://kerrypicket.com/fbi-raids-alabama-terror-camp-connected-son-radical-imam/

Dems Blame Trump, Credit scumbag/liar-nObama for Economy

Brian Mark Weber:  Last Friday’s jobs report showed some staggering numbers.

The U.S. unemployment rate fell to its lowest level in 50 years, and more than a quarter million jobs were added in the month of April alone.

As Susan Ferrechio writes at the Washington Examiner, “Friday’s report on job gains is just another in a series of indicators that show the economy under President Trump is booming. Republicans and the president credit policies they put in place to reduce government regulations and taxes. The party’s signature achievement, a comprehensive tax reform law, lowered taxes not only for individuals but small businesses and corporations.”

But Democrats simply can’t begrudge Donald Trump (or any Republican president) any credit for what is unequivocally good news for all Americans. Consequently, when the economy roars under Republican leadership, Democrats drum up a lot of deceptive ways to either distract us from the good news or to simply give themselves credit.

For example, Democrat Sens. Amy Klobuchar and scumbag-Cory Booker, both 2020 presidential candidates, argue that former President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama really started the economic recovery we’re enjoying today. They’re referring to the same scumbag/liar-nObama who said America’s lost jobs would never come back, who referred to 2% economic growth as the “new normal,” and who became the only U.S. president to never post a single year of 3% growth.

Another tactic employed by the Left is to simply ignore what’s happening. Ferecchio adds, “Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren, D-Mass., tweeted another call for Trump’s impeachment, loose lips-Joe Biden tweeted about restoring voting rights for felons in Florida, former Rep. socialist-Beto O'Rourke tweeted about tackling climate change, and Sen. lowlife-Kamala Harris, D-Calif., tweeted about unaffordable healthcare and the need for Medicare for All.”

With the Leftmedia trumpeting the Democrat message, no wonder so many Americans are convinced that they’re not “feeling” the benefits of Trump’s economy.

The facts, however, paint a different and more realistic picture.

Adam Michel explains at The Daily Signal, “When the economy is strong and unemployment rates are consistently low, two things happen. First, job openings pull workers off the sidelines and into the workforce. People who had been so discouraged that they stopped looking for work start getting jobs again. That’s what we’re seeing. New York Times reporter Ben Casselman noted that more than 70% of new hires last month "weren’t actively looking for work, but got jobs anyway.”

The unemployment rate fell to historic lows for Americans with a high-school diploma, for workers with disabilities, and for both black and Hispanic workers. As Michel concludes, “One could hardly wish for a better trend. This economy is working for every class of American.”

Tell that to House Speaker Nancy Pulosi, who responded to the incredible numbers from the April jobs report by incredulously stating, “Unfortunately, the evidence shows that most of the economic gains continue to benefit those already well off.”

If by “well off” she means anyone with a job and a future, then she has a point. It’s more likely, though, that Pulosi simply can’t stomach the prospect of so many newly employed Americans now being able to break their dependence on government.

Meanwhile, former Vice President loose lips-Joe Biden delivered a mostly incoherent message for a paltry crowd that included a promise to restore the soul of America and to build the backbone of the country. One might ask: Where was that soul and that backbone during the scumbag/liar-nObama/loose lips-Biden years?

Yet, in the same speech, loose lips-Biden’s recipe for building America’s backbone included tired and worn calls for increasing taxes, restoring scumbag/liar-nObamaCare, raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour, and offering free tuition for community college. That message simply won’t sell to millions of Americans now drawing a paycheck for the first time in months or even years.

And all this happened because President Trump reversed scumbag/liar-nObama’s policies to those that reduced taxes for individuals and businesses of all sizes, removed excessive regulations from the federal bureaucracy, and unleashed our nation’s untapped energy resources.

Between now and November 2020, Democrats will pull out all the stops to convince Americans that times are tough — indeed, they’re desperately hoping for recession. But millions of people casting votes on Election Day will have a job that they didn’t have before the Trump presidency, and that might be enough to keep the Democrats from taking us back to their “new normal” of economic stagnation.  ~The Patriot Post

{ ijr.com } ~ Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) went after House Intelligence Committee Chairman scumbag-Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), blasting him as a “hypocrite”... for targeting President  Donald Trump for his use of executive privilege when he was perfectly fine with former President Barack scumbag/liar-Obama’s use of the power. While giving an interview on ABC’s “This Week,” Paul — the junior senator from Kentucky who sits on the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs — torched scumbag-Schiff as a “hypocrite” for his criticism of Trump’s use of “executive privilege” after he was “all for” scumbag/liar-nObama using it. Paul continued on to bring up the cost of Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and “investigating the president.” “The bottom line is we spent $35 million investigating the president,” said Paul. “Their conclusion was there was no underlying crime.” “This whole kibitzing about ‘oh, well, maybe he obstructed justice’ to try to hide an investigation about something he didn’t do,” added Paul. “This is absurd, and the American people know it.” Paul then continued on to state that the investigation was “politically motivated from the very beginning” and started by former U.K. intelligence agent Christopher Steele’s now-discredited dossier. “That should be investigated because we cannot allow the incumbent parties to weaponize the intelligence communities to spy on Americans, or on their political candidates, or potentially their donors,” Paul went on to say. “So there is a real danger to this — and it’s a constitutional one — but the Democrats have it completely upside-down.”...   https://ijr.com/rand-paul-schiff-executive-privilege/?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=72587959&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9kdBZMqLvBuDcZr7HIdaE_qpYLwKg3Wh-JYoFnbWGB3SzoKyNTrNhUAo9HYtmH8ZtRKwaMqYMSlQtqdDmPkNd7PGEydg&_hsmi=72587959

{ foxnews.com } ~ Attorney General William Barr will have the final say on whether Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller will testify before Congress... about his report on the Russia investigation, President Trump said Thursday. “I’m going to leave that up to our very great attorney general,” Trump told reporters, according to Roll Call. “He’ll make a decision on that.” Barr -- who has said he doesn't object to dirty cop-Mueller testifying -- has authority to block dirty cop-Mueller from appearing before Congress because the special counsel is a Justice Department employee. Congressional Democrats have pushed for Barr to release the unredacted version of dirty cop-Mueller's 400-page report, to no avail. House Speaker Nancy Pulosi, D-Calif., and House Judiciary Committee Chairman scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., have said the actions of Trump and Barr amount to a "constitutional crisis." “President Trump has taken a series of actions over his two years as president where he has genuinely pushed the boundaries, across a whole range of things: criticizing sitting federal court judges, the way he talks about the media, and now the way that he is challenging the power of Congress,” Senate Judiciary Committee Chris Coons, D-Del., said Wednesday...

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ National Economic Council Chairman Larry Kudlow appears on Fox News to debate Chris Wallace over the U.S-China trade reset... As customary Wallace completely ignores the dynamic of communist China as a state run economy, and not a free market system; thus presenting the fictitious Wall Street position about bad tariffs. Chairman Kudlow notes the bigger issues of President Trump confronting the enforcement mechanisms that must be in place if a trade agreement (FTA) between a free-market system (USA) and a state-run system (China) are going to work…U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer today released the following statement regarding additional action under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974: “Earlier today, at the direction of the President, the United States increased the level of tariffs from 10 percent to 25 percent on approximately $200 billion worth of Chinese imports. The President also ordered us to begin the process of raising tariffs on essentially all remaining imports from China, which are valued at approximately $300 billion.” The process for public notice and comment will be published shortly in the Federal Register. The details will be on the USTR website on Monday as we begin the process prior to a final decision on these tariffs.

Lindsey Graham Requests Interview with State Dept.’s Kathleen Kevalac Who Flagged Junk
Steele Report 10 Days Before FISA

{thegatewaypundit.com} ~ On Thursday award-winning investigative journalist John Solomon obtained memos from a high-ranking government official, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec... who met with former British spy Christopher Steele in October of 2016 and determined that Steele’s ‘dirt’ on Trump was inaccurate and likely leaked to the media. Kavalec flagged this in memos and handwritten notes just 10 days before the first FISA warrant on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page was granted. The FBI and State Department knew Steele’s documents were fraudulent before they used these same documents to obtain FISA Court permission to spy on Carter Page and the Trump campaign. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today sent letters to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz regarding communications between a State Department official and Christopher Steele, who compiled the dossier used to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants to surveil Trump campaign officials. It was recently revealed through a Freedom of Information Act request that Steele met with then-State Department official Kathleen Kavalec ten days prior to the issuance of the initial Carter Page FISA warrant and told her that he was “keen to see this information the dossier come to light prior to November 8,” the date of the 2016 presidential election. “This important information further demonstrates the bias of the primary source of material that was the basis for the Carter Page FISA warrant,” Graham wrote...

Fugees rapper to be charged in 
scumbag/liar-nObama super PAC fraud scheme
by Jonathan Easley

{thehill.com} ~ Federal prosecutors will bring charges on Friday against Pras Michel, a rapper for the hip-hop group The Fugees, for campaign finance violations... pertaining to donations to a super PAC that supported former President scumbag/liar-nObama’s reelection campaign. Bloomberg reported Friday that the Justice Department will accuse Michel of funneling money to the pro-scumbag/liar-nObama groups without disclosing the foreign origins of the money, which is said to be tied to Jho Low, a Malaysian businessman. Low’s whereabouts are unknown. He is hiding from Malaysian and U.S. authorities, who are investigating allegations he bilked the country out of hundreds of millions of dollars by defrauding the government-run fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). 1MDB was established to promote economic development in Malaysia, but U.S. prosecutors say Low used it as a personal slush fund to influence government officials. The Justice Department is also investigating Goldman Sachs, which raised billions of dollars for the fund. One Goldman banker has pleaded guilty to bribery and money laundering charges, and a second is expected to be extradited from Malaysia to the U.S., where he will face similar charges, Bloomberg reported.

Socialists Come for Your Credit Cards
W6_c9vNnFSHeSfYh0ythKJ1kYdE-4L8nkgdJYUfqCR4cImJiDZuRsDjFbAwKT7ldPaRgWJKMxoVONL6_4V2eFZOp7nLdA0VSfkf1z3nKvkL-EKgy_nZiQexdsqcSuBvsh5zoQU3eUWI9Qce1EDJ01Flsz3UFX-EkwALRR2w=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Nate Jackson:  Americans collectively carry more than $1 trillion in credit card debt and $4 trillion in total consumer debt. Most folks don’t pay off their cards each month, and credit card companies charge very high interest rates on that debt, which disproportionately hurts poor and younger Americans. Last year alone, credit card companies raked in $113 billion in interest and fees, a 35% increase from 2012. It’s a massive issue affecting millions of people who would benefit from good financial counseling and planning. But, as usual, the leftist solution is worse than the problem, even if it does — like Democrat offers on college tuition and student loans — have populist appeal across party lines.

Socialists commie-Bernie Sanders and commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have teamed up to introduce the Loan Shark Prevention Act. The legislation would limit credit card interest rates to 15% — significantly lower than the “extortion-level interest rates” commie-Ocasio-Cortez says companies now charge. According to The Washington Post, “For borrowers with high credit scores, the average rate was 17.73 percent last week. … For those with poor credit scores, the average is now about 24.99 percent.” The median interest rate is currently 21.36%.

Those rates have climbed precipitously in recent years. In part, that’s for good reason. People with lower credit scores have a poor track record repaying debt. And the financial crisis of 2008 was driven by banks taking undue risks (mandated by Democrat law) on borrowers with bad credit. Hedging against that is a basic business decision, and the result of the legislation to “fix” the problem is that fewer poor people will be able to get credit cards. It’s reminiscent of Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s regulations on payday lenders. Those lenders are distasteful but sometimes necessary options, and enlightened bureaucrats in Washington aren’t going to improve anything.

Speaking of payday lenders, the commie-Sanders/commie-AOC legislation aims to create an alternative “not-for-profit public option for basic banking services” via … the U.S. Postal Service. Yes, the same U.S. Postal Service that has lost $69 billion since 2007. As Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey quips, “The idea that the US Postal Service is a good model for any kind of ‘public option, let alone banking, is an absolute riot.” But commie-Sanders and comie-AOC are totally serious.

By introducing regulation and eliminating options, argues Reason’s Peter Suderman, “What commie-Sanders is actually bragging about is eliminating choices — choices that may seem unfortunate or unpleasant to the sort of people who, say, own three homes and write bestsellers that make them millionaires — but which often benefit the people who make those choices: lower-income people with less stable finances. In essence, commie-Sanders is proud of having eliminated useful financial tools for the poor.” Nonetheless, it will win him and the Democrat Party votes, so they’ll keep doing it.  ~The Patriot Post

What Netanyahu and Hamas 
Are Really Fighting for in Gaza

{ newyorker.com } ~ This past weekend in Gaza saw the heaviest Palestinian rocket attacks and reciprocal Israeli bombing since the 2014 war... A ceasefire was announced on Monday, though it may prove short-lived. The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said in a statement that “the campaign is not over.” He is deep in negotiations to form a governing coalition, including with the hawkish leader Avigdor Lieberman, who is likely to return to the Defense Ministry, and who, in the past, has advocated for a full-scale invasion of Gaza to topple the Hamas regime. A spokesperson for Hamas, Sami Abu Zuhri, said that “the conflict will not end until we regain our rights.” In typical fashion, Zuhri left ambiguous whether by “rights” he meant the easing of the blockade or “return,” the banner under which youthful, and often fatal, border demonstrations for Palestinians’ “right of return” to their homelands have been mounted for the past year. Netanyahu wants Hamas to think that an invasion is possible; Zuhri wants Israelis to think that the price for such an action would be unacceptably high. Both men defaulted to vendetta banalities; the numbers presumably tell you who should be more afraid of whom. Hamas, with its ally and rival group Islamic Jihad—which apparently started off the latest round of hostilities—fired six hundred and ninety missiles into southern Israel, including the city of Ashkelon, killing four Israeli civilians. Hamas  claimed to concentrate its fire to get through Israel’s Iron Dome missile-defense system. State exams for graduating high-school seniors were cancelled in communities within forty kilometres of the Gaza border. Hamas thus claimed that it was now in a position to force Israel to fulfill concessions pledged in past exchanges, such as opening the border for deliveries of diesel fuel, and an increased range of fishing grounds. As a sweetener for the ceasefire, which Egypt brokered, Qatar announced a four-hundred-and-eighty-million-dollar aid package for Palestinians, a significant portion of which will go to humanitarian projects in Gaza. Netanyahu claimed that the I.D.F. attacked three hundred and fifty “targets” in Gaza—leaving twenty-five Palestinians dead. According to the I.D.F., Israel also destroyed a cross-border “attack tunnel,” and the Iron Dome intercepted two hundred and forty missiles. Israel thus claimed to have reëstablished “deterrence,” by degrading the “terrorist infrastructure.” Netanyahu might have added to his list the more than two hundred and sixty Palestinians killed and the sixty-four hundred injured in the border demonstrations. What seems clear in this fog of euphemism, polemic, and callous score-keeping is that Gaza has become ground for a war of attrition. And the question of whether the war should be thought inevitable depends not on the truths that each side tells about the other but on the half-truths that each tells about itself...   https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/what-netanyahu-and-hamas-are-really-fighting-for-in-gaza

Trump Deserves More Credit for 
His Foreign Policies

{ foreignpolicy.com } ~ U.S. President Donald Trump’s actions over the course of his first two years in office have often been rash, ignorant, and chaotic. But pundits too often concentrate on his deeply flawed personality and his proclivity to announce policies on Twitter... at the expense of examining analytically the substance of his foreign policy. In fact, as I argue in a new Council on Foreign Relations report, some of his individual foreign policies are substantially better than many of his opponents assert. Critics typically show no sympathy for the challenges the president faces in trying to deal with the deteriorating world order that he inherited. China rises in disagreeable ways. Europe withdraws, for the first time in five centuries, from a leadership role in global affairs. Russia revives, which has destabilized its neighbors. NATO debates its role. The Middle East revisits ancient enmities—and witnesses newer ones. India equivocates over its international responsibilities. Global governance falls short. Autocrats on several continents successfully disparage democratic values. Technology outstrips our ability to manage it. The United States moves in perceived retreat. Not a single U.S. politician has a coherent and convincing set of policies to cope with this eroding world order, but Trump receives nearly all the blame and virtually no credit for his policies, except from his most ardent political admirers.  For example, long before Trump took office, successive U.S. administrations pursued approaches to China that misread Beijing’s strategic intentions. While U.S. presidents crafted optimistic statements about the relationship over a nearly 20-year period, Beijing implemented a grand strategy designed to undermine U.S.-Asian alliances. China used geoeconomic tools to coerce its neighbors and others into its sway, most recently through the Belt and Road Initiative. It violated international commercial practices, including by committing massive theft of U.S. intellectual property. It manipulated its currency for trade benefits, threatened Taiwan, built up its military forces to push the United States beyond Japan and the Philippines, constructed and militarized artificial islands in the South China Sea in violation of international law, systemically and brutally violated the human rights of its own people, and patiently and incrementally built its power and influence with the strategic goal of replacing the United States as the primary power in Asia. This U.S. misunderstanding of China’s objectives over nearly two decades ranks as one of the three most damaging U.S. foreign-policy errors since the end of World War II, along with the 1965 military escalation in Vietnam and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Indeed, this prolonged failure in China policy could turn out to be the biggest U.S. policy deficiency in the past seven decades, given the accumulating dangerous strategic consequences of the rise of Chinese power for world order as well as for the United States and its allies and friends...

{ americanthinker.com } ~ The Baby Boomer Generation growing up in the 1950s was enamored by the transition of Superman from radio to television. Millions of Americans during those postwar years turned on their black and white television sets... weekly to hear the following exciting introduction: “Faster than a speeding bullet; more powerful than a locomotive; able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Look! Up in the sky; it's a bird. It's a plane. It's Superman! Yes it's Superman, strange visitor from another planet who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands, and who disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for Truth, Justice and the American Way.” As quaint as it now sounds, Americans from all walks of life cheered and approved of this warrior for “Truth, Justice and the American Way.” Americans believed in America. They saw it, flaws and all, as a source of truth and justice in its distinctly American Way. In schools public and private students daily pledged “allegiance to the American Flag and to the republic for which it stands.” In history and government classes a sense of pride was instilled and the American Way was seen as valuable, meaningful and absolutely worth defending. America was to them the difference maker that had for the second time in a half century defended the world against unspeakable tyranny and oppression. Americans were rightfully proud of their country. A new generation of Americans no longer takes pride in the uniqueness and greatness of their nation. Many Americans dwell on early flaws that America has overcome rather than the freedoms and opportunities that have made it the marvel of the world. The “American Dream,” aspired to by people from all parts of the world is held in contempt by so many who have enjoyed it as a birthright.  A politician running for the presidency of the United States, a politician who has enjoyed all of America’s blessings and freedoms, expects to win election by saying things like, “America never was all that great.” American citizens cheer such disparagement of the American Way of which their parents and grandparents were so rightfully proud...

"I Don't Know Why They Attacked Our Village": Persecution of Christians, February 2019

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ A number of fatal Islamic terror attacks targeting Christians occurred throughout February...February 10: Muslim Fulani herdsmen killed 10 Christians and an unborn child. Armed herdsmen in large numbers had surrounded the Christian village around 11 p.m. the night before. "We heard gun shots, and this forced me and my family to remain in our bedrooms as it was difficult for us to run out of the house," said one survivor. "The Fulani gunmen surrounded our house and were shooting and shouting, 'Allahu akbar' ['Allah is greatest']. They killed my father, mother, two brothers, and one of my sisters-in-law." The attack came as a complete surprise, even for the village head: "We have never had any misunderstanding with the Fulani herdsmen, so I don't know why they attacked our village," he said. "Ten members of my community, including a pregnant woman, were killed during the attack, thus making the unborn child to be the eleventh victim." February 12: In the northeast, Boko Haram jihadis invaded four Christian communities, killing several Christians and displacing many others. "I saw a man who I know to be a Christian and a member of the Church of the Brethren in Shuwa, my home town, shot to death," said one eyewitness. "Also, Bulama, a community leader in Madagali, was shot dead alongside many Christians." February 26: Muslim Fulani herdsmen  slaughtered at least 32 people in Maro, a Christian village in north-central Nigeria. Churches were also damaged and a boarding school shut down. "We ran out of the church building as the shooting was going on," said a woman who was in a Bible study class when the raid began. "Many have been killed, and I have not seen my family members since morning. I have escaped out of the area." Another local Christian said, "The armed herdsmen are shooting anyone they see and are setting fire on houses and church buildings." Reported on February 25: Muslim herdsmen attacked a Christian wedding celebration, killing 12 people. "From behind the hill overlooking this village emerged armed Fulani herdsmen who shot indiscriminately at Christians from various churches here at the venue of the feast," said one local. "Twelve Christians who are members of various churches were shot dead instantly, while another five Christians were injured." Six of those murdered were children...

Rebellion is Bursting out All Over
by Clarice Feldman

{ americanthinker.com } ~ As Spygate proceeds to its certain conclusion -- the trials of those who engaged in this scandalous coup attempt -- we receive the details of the scheme only in dribs and drabs... Too many were involved and have too much to lose at this point by not revealing to the investigators their role in exchange for more lenient treatment, which is why I believe all will soon be revealed. So for the moment let’s turn to the broader picture that explains in large part why so many officials were so determined to keep Donald Trump from the White House and to oust him once he won the election. To me, it has seemed they are clinging to the privileges and benefits of an order which is dying because its underpinnings -- the post-World War II order -- no longer suit the citizens of the countries involved, or the changing world. In this respect, I was much taken by this article in the Claremont Review by Christopher Caldwell. The subject of this essay is Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán, who famously closed his country’s borders to hordes of migrants from Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. I urge you to read the entire article, which I can only selectively discuss. As Caldwell explains, Hungary has been a member of the European Union since 2004 and his political party was closely aligned with Angela Merkel’s. Remembering Hungary’s history and intellectual curiosity, Orban rejected the policies of the E.U. on migration...

Time to Break Up Facebook? 
Cofounder Says Yes
RhJ39v2_pW4anLH-TT1fPhudPkzqpkgkTrzu7sWoCDp3Huk9wZfHunKgdYGIoSmXpW2rocG-piRFx5Gm27nfygHx_EzlY_rAuK87fmKpn0kqG80_JTpOMTiza-oWaGV5kGcfJ-_MNhTsnaojpl0-79n6AvPesvcskCMSzpQ=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Thomas Gallatin:  In an op-ed published in The New York Times on Thursday, Facebook cofounder Mark Hughes states unequivocally, “It is time to break up Facebook.” Hughes argues that Facebook has become too powerful and that Mark Zuckerberg reigns over a nearly worldwide monopoly in social media. He points to Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram and WhatsApp, noting that “about 70 percent of American adults use social media, and a vast majority are on Facebook products.”
 

Hughes also notes the aspect of Facebook that has raised the ire of many on the political Right — its censorship of speech. “The most problematic aspect of Facebook’s power is Mark’s unilateral control over speech,” Hughes argues. “There is no precedent for his ability to monitor, organize and even censor the conversations of two billion people.” Hughes points to the recent banning of several individuals for being “dangerous” even though they did not break any of Facebook’s rules.

Hughes then offers his solution to the problem. First, enforce existing anti-trust laws to break up the monopoly. If he had stopped there, we would have little argument with him. In fact, his quoting of scumbag-Adam Smith — that “competition spurs growth and innovation” — is a welcome recognition of the problem. However, like so many on the Left, he isn’t content to let the government simply enforce anti-trust laws. No, government must be given even more power to regulate Americans’ speech.

He writes, “Just breaking up Facebook is not enough. We need a new agency, empowered by Congress to regulate tech companies. … The agency should create guidelines for acceptable speech on social media. This idea may seem un-American — we would never stand for a government agency censoring speech. But we already have limits on yelling ‘fire’ in a crowded theater, child pornography, speech intended to provoke violence and false statements to manipulate stock prices. We will have to create similar standards that tech companies can use. These standards should of course be subject to the review of the courts, just as any other limits on speech are. But there is no constitutional right to harass others or live-stream violence.”

The idea “seems un-American” because it is un-American. Hughes points out examples of “regulated speech,” but they are so regulated because they are directly criminal and are only punished after the fact. Our system is designed to maximize the protection of Americans’ right to free speech — especially political speech — not to prevent criminal speech. Such is the realm of totalitarian systems.

What is interesting about Facebook is that both sides of the political aisle are calling for its head. However, leftists like Elizabeth dinky-Warren are doing so not out of a concern for promoting free enterprise or protecting free speech but as Big Government anti-corporatists whose goal is socialism.  ~The Patriot Post

Trump Hires Lawyer Who Has Pushed Theory 
That Justice Dept. Framed the President
by Maggie Haberman and Michael S. Schmidt  

{ nytimes.com } ~ President Trump hired the longtime Washington lawyer Joseph E. diGenova on Monday, adding an aggressive voice to his legal team... who has pushed the theory on television that the F.B.I. and Justice Department framed Mr. Trump. Mr. diGenova, a former United States attorney, is not expected to take a lead role. But he will serve as an outspoken player for the president as Mr. Trump has increased his attacks on the special counsel, dirty cop-Robert S. Mueller III. Mr. Trump broke over the weekend from the longstanding advice of some of his lawyers that he refrain from directly criticizing Mr. dirty cop-Mueller, a sign of his growing unease with the investigation.  “Former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia Joe DiGenova will be joining our legal team later this week,” said Jay Sekulow, one of the president’s personal lawyers. “I have worked with Joe for many years and have full confidence that he will be a great asset in our representation of the President.” Mr. diGenova has endorsed the notion that a secretive group of F.B.I. agents concocted the Russia investigation as a way to keep Mr. Trump from becoming president. “There was a brazen plot to illegally exonerate scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton and, if she didn’t win the election, to then frame Donald Trump with a falsely created crime,” he said on Fox News in January. He added, “Make no mistake about it: A group of F.B.I. and D.O.J. people were trying to frame Donald Trump of a falsely created crime.”...  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/19/us/politics/joseph-digenova-trump-lawyer.html

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ The Justice Department inspector general has determined the three Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant extensions against onetime Trump campaign aide Carter Page were illegally obtained... attorney Joe diGenova said on Thursday. In an investigation that began last year, Inspector General Michael Horowitz is examining the Justice Department's and FBI's compliance with legal requirements as well as policies and procedures in applications filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court related to Page as part of a larger counterintelligence probe into Trump's campaign. The inspector general inquiry is expected to be completed in either late May or June, and diGenova, a former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said Democrats on Capitol Hill are working overtime to investigate and discredit President Trump. "They are doing that as a diversionary tactic away from the inevitable conclusions of the DOJ inspector general, Michael Horowitz, who, by the way, we have learned has concluded that the final three FISA extensions were illegally obtained," diGenova said on Fox Business. "The only question now is whether or not the first FISA was illegally obtained." He pointed to memos, obtained by conservative group Citizens United through open-records litigation, that suggest the FBI might have misled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in the first warrant application about an unverified dossier. Horowitz "apparently, as a result of those disclosures ... which he was unaware of — the bureau hid those memos from Horowitz — as a result of that they're doing additional work on the first FISA. It may be that all four FISAs will have been obtained illegally," diGenova said...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/doj-inspector-general-found-carter-page-fisa-extensions-were-illegally-obtained-joe-digenova-says?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_05/11/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief&rid=5261

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ The Democratic rebuttal memo to the Republican House Intelligence Committee memo on alleged government surveillance abuses was released Saturday afternoon after receiving a number of redactions... House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., acknowledged its release at his appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference, at about 4 p.m. "It's just posted," he told American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp, quipping that the committee website was probably already crashing due to high traffic. Democrats say their memo, spearheaded by ranking member scumbag-Adam Schiff, D-Calif., was written as a rebuttal to provide greater context to a Republican memo that was released earlier this month, which outlines abuses by the FBI and the Justice Department against the Trump campaign, particularly in the write-up and approval of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant applications to spy on ex-Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page. The Democratic memo says in its first page that "FBI and DOJ officials did not 'abuse' the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) process, omit material information, or subvert this vital tool to spy on the Trump campaign. "It adds, "In fact, DOJ and the FBI would have been remiss in their duty to protect the country had they not sought a FISA warrant and repeated renewals to conduct temporary surveillance of Carter Page, someone the FBI assessed to be an agent of the Russian government. A key point in the GOP memo, put together by Nunes and staff, claims Justice Department and FBI officials used "Trump dossier" author Christopher Steele was played an important role in the initial and all three renewal FISA applications to spy on Page. The dossier from Steele, an ex-British spy, is filled with salacious and unverified claims about President Trump's ties to Russia. A crucial source of funding for the dossier, scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee, as well as Steele's anti-Trump bias were also left out by the DOJ and FBI, the GOP memo alleged, addressing a major area of concern of Republicans and Trump supporters. The Democratic memo makes the case the that agencies covered themselves appropriately... Nunes and scumbag-Schiff work on the same community but scumbag-Schiff always has a different response covering up the truth.

{ westernjournal.com } ~ After more than two years of multiple investigations and speculation about alleged collusion between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russia in the 2016 election... that narrative was put to rest by special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s final report. Except, Democrats seem unwilling to concede defeat, and rather than admit how wrong they were on collusion have shifted their sights to alleged obstruction of justice by President Trump and Attorney General William Barr, who they accuse of attempting to cover-up incriminating information redacted from the dirty cop-Mueller report. The accusations against Barr resulted in the Democratic-led House Judiciary Committee voting to hold him in contempt of Congress over his refusal to release a completely unredacted version of the report, despite Barr being prohibited by law from releasing redacted grand jury information. During the lead-up to the vote on contempt, Republican committee member Jim Jordan took over for five minutes — even refusing a request to yield at one point — and carpet-bombed the committee with the blunt truth of both the false narrative they had bought into as well as the transparently partisan reasons they were attacking Barr. “Bill Barr is following the law, and what’s his reward? Democrats are going to hold him in contempt,” Jordan said. “I don’t think today is actually about getting information, I don’t think it’s about getting the unredacted dirty cop-Mueller report, I don’t think last week’s hearing was actually about having staff question the attorney general.” “I think it’s — as my colleague said earlier — I think it’s all about trying to destroy Bill Barr because Democrats are nervous that he’s going to get to the bottom of everything. “He’s going to find out how and why this investigation started in the first place,” Jordan asserted...   https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/rep-jim-jordan-takes-committee-floor-refuses-yield-demolishes-democrats/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=conservative-brief-CT&utm_campaign=dailyam&utm_content=conservative-tribune

{washingtontimes.com} ~ Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Wednesday that his successor was within bounds to call the FBI’s surveillance of Trump campaign figures “spying.”... “I think spying is a perfectly good word,” Mr. Sessions said at a Las Vegas event aired on MSNBC. New Attorney General William P. Barr ignited a firestorm with his use of the word to describe the scumbag/liar-nObama administration’s attempts to pry into the activities of several of Mr. Trump’s campaign advisors, including the use of a surveillance warrant and informants, over fears the campaign was coordinating with Russia. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, appearing with Mr. Sessions, also backed Mr. Barr, saying there was spying — the question is whether it was legally predicated or not.“I think what needs to be determined here is not the argument over the word, the modifier of the word,” Mr. Christie said. Both men also backed Mr. Barr’s resistance to House Democrats’ sweeping subpoena for the special counsel’s Russia report, saying he was right under the law to resist demands for secret grand jury information.

Dems Just Invited Israel-Hating, Gay-Bashing, 
Sexist Imam to Give Invocation Before Congress
zGnPmFKNy5sSXPqNTv8ADU9nImA8Z0rKsr34tFcX6lsZNF2SLSveplWbR3KT31C3tpoR56WZjE975LHB3wtCtdNIIlcVrgu1JTNTzToBO9lk3cPaEPtbshGV9x472yiS=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x

{ jewishworldreview.com } ~ Islam's holy month of Ramadan began Sunday, so it's not surprising that the U.S. House turned to a Muslim cleric to provide Thursday's invocation.

The problem is with the cleric chosen. Omar Suleiman is an imam who has a history of spewing hatred toward Israel and who holds views about gays and women that would spark outrage on the left if they came from a preacher of any other faith.

Suleiman is the founder and president of the Irving, Texas-based Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research. U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas, invited him to give Thursday's invocation, a Yaqeen Institute statement said.

Suleiman's honor of giving the invocation was touted by Zahra Billoo, a California chapter director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and among the most rabid Israel haters among CAIR's stable of Israel haters.

"We pray for peace, not war," he said. "Love not hate. Benevolence, not greed. Unity, not division. And we commit ourselves to not betraying our prayers with actions that contradict them. Let us be for truth, no matter who, or for is against it."

Love, not hate. Unity, not division. Here are some examples of Suleiman doing anything but advancing those ideals.

In an August 2014 Facebook post, Suleiman seemed to side with Hamas in denying that the terrorist group uses human shields in an attempt to stop the Israeli military from retaliating against rocket fire sent from Gaza into Israeli civilian communities.

There is evidence dating back years to prove the practice takes place. And a Hamas official openly admitted the practice more than a month before Suleiman's post. "The fact that people are willing to sacrifice themselves against Israeli warplanes in order to protect their homes, I believe this strategy is proving itself," said Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri.

Suleiman spoke at a 2017 rally outside the White House protesting the U.S. decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move the U.S. embassy there. The rally was organized by American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), a group which seeks "to challenge the legitimacy of the State of Israel" and is tied to a defunct Hamas-support network in the United States.

In his remarks Suleiman rejected any Jewish claim to Jerusalem:

"Your recognition means nothing to us," he said. "Your maps mean nothing to us, your embassy is as illegitimate as the occupation it seeks to legitimize. Our land is our land, our dignity is our dignity. Our determination is our determination. Our boycott is our boycott. Our Aqsa [the holy mosque in Jerusalem] is our Aqsa. Our Palestine is our Palestine."

Palestinians have rejected at least three peace offers which would have created a state of their own. But in a 2014 post, Suleiman rejected any Palestinian responsibility for the conflict, invoking anti-Israel academic Noam Chomsky. It is not clear whether his reference to occupation dates back to the 1967 war, or Israel's creation in 1948.

Suleiman also pushed the anti-Semitic trope that Israel controls American foreign policy, sneering that it is the "51st state."

On social issues, Suleiman's religious views stand in sharp contrast to the progressive ideas championed by most members of the House Democratic Caucus. The Middle East Forum put together several examples in a 2017 video. Two indicate a sexist attitude.

Warning girls about the dangers of promiscuity, Suleiman compared Allah to an over-protective father.

"And Allah doesn't just own 20 guns. Allah owns hellfire," he said. "So you'd better be careful. You're overstepping your bounds. Sisters ... you know what happens with a really jealous Dad? He kills you and he kills the guy. So you are offending Allah ... whenever you make yourself promiscuous or whenever you open yourself up to a relationship."

In addition, boys and girls cannot be friends because of ever-present sexual temptation.

"See all the guys know it. You guys know this. Right? You can make this up and you can try to fool yourself or fool someone else. But girls, trust me. We're men. We're not going to lie to you. Guys and girls cannot be friends, unless you guys have been neutered ... you cannot be friends."

Suleiman compared gays and lesbians to people who engage in incest and bestiality. They deserve to be treated well even though they engage in "an act of sexual deviance," he said.

"... We believe it's wrong. It's obviously harmful to society. Obviously it's not natural, because of human reproduction and all the diseases and things of that sort that come as a result. But, if someone is a homosexual, they're not a, it's not, you know what's worse, homosexuality or saying Allah has a son? You see we still treat people who say Allah has a son with goodness, and we should. We should be kind and courteous and try to help them with that wrong idea or that wrong practice. Now what if someone says, 'But what if someone is born that way, what if someone is a homosexual and they can't help that?' Then we would say that not every impulse is to be acted upon. OK? We don't allow bestiality. We don't allow incest."

Imagine the blowback if a Republican House member invited a Christian preacher who uttered the same ideas. You don't have to. Liberal groups were outraged when President wcumbag/liar-nObama asked Pastor Rick Warren to deliver an invocation at his 2009 inaugural.

When California Pastor Greg Laurie was named a co-chair of the 2013 National Day of Prayer, the Human Rights Campaign protested, saying his "message is out of step with what the majority of people of faith across this country believe."

The examples above show the same thing can be said about Suleiman.

Biden’s Boondoggle – Healthcare for Illegals

jbhc-1.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710xLast week, Joe Biden was asked whether illegal immigrants “should be entitled to federal benefits like Medicare, Medicaid.”

His response was stunning, but not unexpected.

“Look, I think that anyone who is in a situation where they are in need of health care, regardless of whether they are documented or undocumented, we have an obligation to see that they are cared for.”

“An obligation?”

We are obliged to take care of people who have entered our country illegally? We’re obliged to provide healthcare, at American citizen’s taxpayer expense to those who are illegally in our country, who are breaking our nation’s laws by setting foot in our country, and who are making a mockery of our nation’s rule of law?

Liberals should be ashamed of themselves, but perhaps not for the reasons most Conservatives are thinking of right now.

Hey Joe…hey liberals…just what sort of heartless bastards are you really?

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ House Democrats are ramping up plans to hold more members of the Trump administration in contempt of Congress... Instead of taking up a newly passed Judiciary Committee resolution holding Attorney General William Barr in contempt, Democratic leaders signaled they’ll hold off on a vote to give other administration officials time to comply with subpoenas House lawmakers issued as part of a sweeping investigation into Trump’s business dealings and political activities. “There may be some other contempt of Congress issues that we want to deal with at the same time,” Speaker Nancy Pulosi, D-Calif., said Thursday when asked about the timing of a House vote on the Barr contempt citation. She suggested the House vote on contempt would address “a cumulative effect of obstruction that the administration is engaged in,” in the face of broad inquiries by House committees led by Democrats. The contempt list could grow to include Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and even special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller, whom Democrats had widely praised for his handling of a probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Democrats are also after Don McGahn, Trump’s former White House counsel, who has refused a subpoena to testify before the judiciary panel... This is bull, the dems need to act upon their duties as helping the people not their hate for this president.   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress/mcgahn-mnuchin-mueller-house-democrats-target-more-administration-members-for-contempt?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_05/11/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief&rid=5261

Judge Napolitano: DOJ made ‘mistake’ by 
not fighting dirty cop-Mueller report subpoena

by conservativeinstitute.org:  Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano took the increasingly rare step of siding with the Trump administration Thursday in its refusal to release a full... unredacted version of Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s Russia report. In fact, Napolitano — who recently called the president  “immoral, criminal, defenseless, and condemnable” — announced that the Department of Justice (DOJ) made a “mistake” by not fighting the House Judiciary Committee’s subpoena for a full, unredacted copy of the dirty cop-Mueller report in court. The Democratic-led committee voted Wednesday to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt for refusing to hand over the unredacted report. Barr is invested with broad authority under DOJ policy to redact portions of the special counsel report, and he is obligated to protect grand jury testimony and intelligence gathering secrets contained within the document. Also on Wednesday, the White House asserted executive authority over the entire dirty cop-Mueller report and its underlying documents. This set off a firestorm of accusations from House Democrats, who hysterically labeled Trump a “dictator with authoritarian tendencies.” During an appearance on Fox and Friends, Napolitano disputed Democratic claims that the attorney general initiated a “constitutional crisis” by refusing to comply with their subpoena. He thinks Barr “did the right thing” by not releasing the redacted material. However, Napolitano argued the DOJ should have taken a harder line with the Judiciary Committee. “When you get a subpoena — which is presumed valid even if it’s politically motivated, it’s a legal instrument — you can’t sit on it. If you can’t comply with it, you file a motion before the appropriate judge to quash it,” he said, explaining that the courts would decide how to deal with the subpoena...   https://www.conservativeinstitute.org/conservative-news/napolitano-mistake-doj-subpoenas.htm?utm_source=dc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dc-1

Idaho Repeals Its Regulatory Code

{ mercatus.org } ~ Something rather remarkable just happened in Idaho. The state legislature opted to—in essence—repeal the entire state regulatory code... The cause may have been dysfunction across legislative chambers, but the result is serendipitous. A new governor is presented with an unprecedented opportunity to repeal an outdated and burdensome regulatory code and replace it with a more streamlined and sensible set of rules. Other states should be paying close attention. The situation came about due to the somewhat unconventional nature of Idaho’s regulatory process. Each year, the state’s entire existing body of regulations expires unless reauthorized for an additional year by the legislature. In most years, reauthorization happens smoothly, but not this year. Instead, the legislature wrapped up an acrimonious session in April without passing a rule-reauthorization bill. As a result, come July 1, some 8,200 pages of regulations containing 736 chapters of state rules will expire. Any rules the governor opts to keep will have to be implemented as emergency regulations, and the legislature will consider them anew when it returns next January. Governor Brad Little, sworn into office in January, already had a nascent red tape cutting effort underway, but the impending regulatory cliff creates some new dynamics. Previously, each rule the governor wanted cut would have had to be justified as a new rule making action; now, every regulation that agencies want to keep has to be justified. The burden of proof has switched.The new scenario creates multiple touch points when rules could end up on the cutting room floor. First, when regulations expire on July 1, many will not be refiled. Second, the public will have the opportunity to comment on regulations that are resubmitted. In some cases, public hearings are likely to take place, presenting another opportunity to reshape, and cut, some regulations. Finally, when the legislature returns next year, it will need to pass a reauthorization bill for those regulations Governor Little’s administration wants kept. Even more red tape can be trimmed then...   https://www.mercatus.org/bridge/commentary/idaho-repeals-its-regulatory-code?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=theinsider&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWVRNNU1qUTRaalExTURJNCIsInQiOiIwZmhtWUJBVVpHN0xDeTByUlhGaVVZVFhoS2hMYVlQNjQ1ekZXTWkxcHRMK1NVenRFSHpHZ3FqcWdRQnJsYllUdHBmVFwvWFJRcGVHZXhLNXlnRURiaExqanRZd0hNaTFjNGt0XC96cHlxVVdDUys1TzhlSitsV2ZOdzhwQStKXC9VZyJ9

{bizpacreview.com} ~ The timing couldn’t have been worse for Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders and Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez... The U.S. Postal Service delivered a crushing reality check on the two lawmakers just one day after they proposed a “not-for-profit public option for basic banking services” that would be modeled after the post office. “We should have a not-for-profit public option for basic banking services, and we should be piloting these projects through the U.S. Postal Service or any other number of ways,” the New York Democrat suggested. The idea of the inefficient U.S. Postal Service operating checking and savings accounts was met with deserved mockery, even as commie-Sanders touted providing services to the “unbanked” and “underbanked.” Before the details of such a plan could even be hashed out, the USPS released its quarterly fiscal report which revealed losses of $2.1 billion in just three months. Current revenue is “essentially flat” with a decrease of $8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the report indicated. “The net loss for the quarter totaled nearly $2.1 billion, an increase of $747 million, compared to a net loss of $1.3 billion for the same quarter last year,” the report said, with numbers indicating that the USPS is on track to finish the current year with a loss of more than $7 billion... This socialist commies are not experts for sure.

FBI's Steele story falls apart: False intel and
media contacts were flagged before FISA
by John Solomon

{ thehill.com } ~ The FBI’s sworn story to a federal court about its asset, Christopher Steele, is fraying faster than a $5 souvenir T-shirt bought at a tourist trap... Newly unearthed memos show a high-ranking government official who met with Steele in October 2016 determined some of the Donald Trump dirt that Steele was simultaneously digging up for the FBI and for scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s campaign was inaccurate, and likely leaked to the media. The concerns were flagged in a typed memo and in handwritten notes taken by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec on Oct. 11, 2016. Her observations were recorded exactly 10 days before the FBI used Steele and his infamous dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page  and the campaign’s contacts with Russia in search of a now debunked collusion theory. It is important to note that the FBI swore on Oct. 21, 2016, to the FISA judges that Steele’s “reporting has been corroborated and used in criminal proceedings” and the FBI has determined him to be “reliable” and was “unaware of any derogatory information pertaining” to their informant, who simultaneously worked for Fusion GPS, the firm paid by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign to find Russian dirt on Trump. That’s a pretty remarkable declaration in Footnote 5 on Page 15 of the FISA application, since Kavalec apparently needed just a single encounter with Steele at State to find one of his key claims about Trump-Russia collusion was blatantly false... Why can't scumbag liar-Nadler and scumbag-Schiff know this. They just look the other way to bring down Trump.

A Solution to College Debt

Cal Thomas
 

Congress created the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program in 2007 in an attempt to attract people into professions like teaching, nursing and public-interest law. College graduates would be forgiven their student loans if they pursued a career in such professions. The Wall Street Journal reports the program is now in “disarray.” Although 73,000 people have applied for debt forgiveness as of March 31, reports the Journal, citing Education Department figures, just 864 have had their loans erased.

While models are constantly changing — from cars, to clothes — only the education model remains the same, except for rising costs. That model says a college education is mandatory in order to obtain a good job and become self-sufficient. What if it isn’t? What if massive college debt might be unnecessary?

A new study by Georgetown University, Center on Education and the Workforce has found that by next year, “65 percent of all jobs in the economy will require postsecondary education and training beyond high school.” That means 35 percent of available jobs will not require a college degree.

The findings are significant because they offer a guide into the type of specialized education and acquired skills students will need to qualify for these jobs. In the past, a general liberal arts education was enough to find employment in many fields. As new industries emerge and existing ones expand, the jobs of the near future will require an education and training to fit employer requirements.

The implications are obvious. For many jobs and careers it will no longer be necessary to attend a four-year college, pay high tuition, along with room and board, and graduate with crushing debt that will take years, perhaps decades, to pay off.

Some other findings from Georgetown’s research that will be helpful as young people seek an education tailored to job requirements include: “Job openings in health care, community services and STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) will grow the fastest among occupational clusters. Judgment/decision-making, communications, analysis and administration will be the four most in-demand competencies in the labor market.

The demand for physical skills has continued to decline over time, "except for ‘near vision,’ which is necessary to read computer screens and other types of documentation.”

Even those who choose to pursue college degrees will benefit from knowing the types of jobs they can expect to get and design their education to fit those necessities.

The flip side, says the study, is that at the current rate of college graduates, the U.S. will lack 5 million workers with post-secondary education by next year. A combination of jobs opening up because of baby boomer retirements and the creation of new positions in existing and new industries means a total of 55 million job openings by next year. This is nothing short of phenomenal and is a contributing factor to the influx of immigration, both legal and otherwise. How many of those entering our country illegally have high skill levels?

Skills that are most valued, says the study, include “leadership, communications and analysis.” Taking into consideration all occupations, “96 percent require critical thinking and active listening to be either very important or extremely important to success.”

Parents and students should keep these findings in mind to spare themselves frustration and debt when deciding the right path to a meaningful and well-paying job in the new and ever-expanding economy. Otherwise, the jobs one is hoping to get after graduation may not be there and the parental basement could be the only alternative.

FBI Lost Notes From scumbag/liar-Clinton 
Probe Meeting Significant to Concerns 
Over Foreign Exfiltration Lead

{ theepochtimes.com } ~ The FBI lost notes from a 2015 meeting with people from the office of the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG)... according to newly released FBI records on the investigation of former Secretary of State scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s alleged mishandling of classified information.  The news raises concern that some information about an explosive lead passed by the ICIG to the FBI now might be lost. The lost notes memorialized a meeting that took place on Aug. 3, 2015, less than a month after the ICIG made a referral to the FBI that classified information may have been disclosed in an unauthorized manner to a foreign power because scumbag/liar-Clinton conducted State Department business through an email hosted on an insufficiently secured server in her basement. The ICIG-FBI meetings hold special significance because it was allegedly several of these meetings where the ICIG officials passed a lead to the FBI about anomalies in the metadata of the emails indicating that a copy of nearly every email was sent to an agent of a foreign power. Several lawmakers, as well as the Justice Department’s Inspector General, publicly confirmed that then-ICIG Charles McCullough told them about the metadata anomalies and that the lead was communicated to the FBI. The FBI acknowledged that scumbag/liar-Clinton’s emails could have been breached by foreign actors who covered their tracks, but denied that any evidence of foreign infiltration was found. Several current and former senior FBI officials involved in the scumbag/liar-Clinton case denied in congressional testimonies any recollection of receiving the metadata lead...

No, There Isn’t Moral Equivalence 
Between Communist China And The U.S.

{ thefederalist.com } ~ Just as trade negotiations between China and the United States may be reaching their crescendo... an outspoken ex-conservative has made an assertion about the People’s Republic of China (PRC) likely to warm the hearts of the leaders of the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Writing in the Washington Post on his desire for an “unapologetic atheist” to someday ascend to the White House, Max Boot says: There are too many examples of evil committed in the name of God to assume that people act morally because they are afraid of divine punishment. More likely, people are social animals who develop moral codes so they can live at peace with their neighbors. That’s why almost all societies, whether religious or not, have similar taboos against murder, robbery, rape and other sins. Most of China’s 1.4 billion people have no religious affiliation, and fewer than 7 percent are monotheists. Is there any reason to believe that China is a less moral place than the United States, where 70.6 percent profess to be Christians? Boot’s apparent attempt to draw moral equivalence between China and the United States would be news to the 1.4 billion Chinese citizens living in the world’s leading surveillance state—to the extent they are able to read his article behind the Great Firewall, and not one of the 1 to 2 million Uighurs currently imprisoned in “re-education camps” or countless others held captive for challenging the Party line. It would be news to members of the dissenting Chinese diaspora being tracked down and targeted by the Communist regime at every corner of the Earth. And it would be news to those peoples whose sovereignty is threatened by the CCP and the People’s Liberation Army that serves it—“it” being the Party, not the country...

{ theintercept.com } ~ Focusing on breath and gratitude, Dahr Jamail’s latest book, “The End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption,” stitches together personal introspection and gut-wrenching interviews with leading climate experts... The rapidly receding glaciers of Denali National Park, home to the highest peak in North America, inspired the book’s title. “Seven years of climbing in Alaska had provided me with a front-row seat from where I could witness the dramatic impact of human-caused climate disruption,” Jamail writes. With vividly descriptive storytelling, Jamail pushes further north into the Arctic Circle where warming is occurring at double speed. He surveys rapid changes in the Pribilof Islands, where Indigenous communities have had to contend with die-offs affecting seabirds, fur seals, fish, and more — a collapsing food web. The story continues in the fragile Great Barrier Reef, utterly ravaged by the warming ocean. South Florida is faring no better: Jamail finds that 2.46 million of the state’s acreage will be submerged within his lifetime. Experts are aghast everywhere Jamail visits. In the Amazon, rich in biodiversity, the consequences are especially enormous.Describing the current state of the planet, Jamail likens it to someone in hospice care. The global mean temperature is already 1 degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Not half a decade ago, leading climate scientist James Hansen warned that that 1 degree would usher in a crisis of sea-level rise, melting Arctic ice, and extreme weather. He concluded that the goal of limiting global warming to only 2 degrees was “very dangerous.” Accelerated melting in the Arctic continues to surpass conservative predictions. Jamail reminds us that “as rapidly as global temperatures are increasing, so are temperature predictions. The conservative International Energy Agency has predicted a possible worst-case scenario of a 3.5°C increase by 2035.” Little has worked to inspire action. There is perhaps no better example of climate science being disregarded than a climate change denier being elected president of the United States. The threat of looming biosphere apocalypse is deeply troubling, panic-inducing, and this all-encompassing environmental, economic, and spiritual problem leaves one feeling helpless and grief-stricken. “The End of Ice” takes on the full weight of the catastrophe at hand. Jamail carries the reader’s emotional pain by acutely expressing his own... I disagree with Jamail's predictions and doesn't change the way I think.

{ lidblog.com } ~ Rudy Giuliani will soon be going to Ukraine to meet with the incoming president Volodymyr Zelensky. The President’s attorney will be trying to convince the Ukanian to continue the ongoing investigations... regarding the 2016 scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign being helped by the Ukrainian government and the SCHMOTUS loose lips-Joe Biden’s 2016 call for Ukraine to remove its prosecutor, who had been investigating a Ukrainian natural gas company where loose lips-Biden’s son, Hunter, was on the board. The scumbag/liar-Hillary probe is a political hot potato in Ukraine. John Solomon of the Hill has been all over this story in recent months. Two months ago he reported that Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko opened an investigation into members of the parliament trying to help scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton by releasing damaging information about Paul Manafort: “Today we will launch a criminal investigation about this and we will give a legal assessment of this information,” Lutsenko said last week. Lutsenko is probing a claim from a member of the Ukrainian parliament that the director of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), Artem Sytnyk, attempted to the benefit of the 2016 U.S. presidential election on behalf of scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton. (…) “According to the member of parliament of Ukraine, he got the court decision that the NABU official conducted an illegal intrusion into the American election campaign,” Lutsenko said. “It means that we think Mr. Sytnyk, the NABU director, officially talked about the criminal investigation with Mr. Paul Manafort, and at the same time, Mr. Sytnyk stressed that in such a way, he wanted to assist the campaign of Ms. scdumbag/liar-Clinton,” he continued.The story first surfaced in a 2017 Politico piece...   https://lidblog.com/biden-corruption-hillary-collusion/

Thanks to the robotics team at Farmington High School, Cillian now has his ride — a functioning power wheelchair hand-built from a Power Wheels riding toy.”
 

“Cillian was born with a genetic condition that makes mobility difficult. ‘He has an especially hard time controlling his body. He has a lot of symptoms you’d see in someone who has cerebral palsy,’ said Tyler Jackson, Cillian’s father.”

“Tyler Jackson reached out to the robotics team at his former high school after he realized an actual power wheelchair would be cost prohibitive for his family and unlikely to be covered by insurance due to Cillian’s young age. ”

“Farmington robotics coach Spencer Elvebak says there was no hesitation by his students. ‘I brought it up to the kids at a meeting, Is this something we want to step up and do?’ Elvebak recalled. The sentiment was unanimous. Yes!”

New U.S. Sanctions on Iran Hit Ballistic 
Missile Program, Regime’s Cash

{ freebeacon.com } ~ In announcing another round of sanctions on Iran this week, the Trump administration took unprecedented steps to roll back a series of cash windfalls... authorized by the scumbag/liar-nObama administration that have lined the extremist regime's pockets and enabled it to make strides in its ballistic missile technology, according to policy experts. President Donald Trump, on the anniversary this week of leaving the landmark nuclear deal, issued another salvo of sanctions that target Iran's lucrative iron, steel, aluminum, and copper sectors. Each of these arenas has helped Iran's hardline regime stockpile billions in cash as the country's economy teeters on the brink. The sanctions represent "the first significant expansion of sectoral sanctions since 2013," according to veteran foreign policy analysts at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, or FDD, a think-tank that enjoys close ties with the Trump administration. The sanctions will pressure Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps, or IRGC, the regime's paramilitary fighting force that also controls significant portions of the country's economy, mainly those like the precious metals sector that can be used for military purposes.The Trump administration shows no signs of slowing down with its sanctions, angering the Islamic Republic and fueling a range of hostile military moves that have put U.S. military assets in the region on high alert. "This new designation significantly increases pressure on Iran's economy by targeting industries from which Iran derives significant income," according to FDD, which examined how the new sanctions could impact Iran's multi-billion dollar energy sector. "It also enhances the administration's targeting of materials necessary to support Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs, and provides for the first significant expansion of sectoral sanctions since 2013."...

{ americanthinker.com } ~ Are we stepping on the same rakes again -- in Venezuela? Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently tweeted “My message to the Venezuelan people is clear... the United States stands firmly with you in your quest for freedom and democracy.” He also confirmed that the military option is on the table. In other words, the U.S. is ready to liberate the Venezuelan people from themselves. For those who suffer historical amnesia, it is worth pointing out, that the Venezuelans had democratic elections and they have chosen socialism. Hugo Chavez was a socialist, and he ran on a socialist platform and got elected with wide popular support. So was his successor Nicolás Maduro. Whether the Venezuelans voted for socialist serfdom knowingly or they have been duped is irrelevant. If people are ignorant or complacent, they deserve the government they elect. As Barack scumbag/liar-nObama famously said, “Elections have consequences.” We have to be mindful, though, that every ism -- socialism, capitalism, fascism, etc. -- has its supporters and benefactors. Those who imagine themselves on the receiving end have every reason to think they will be better off with socialism. State bureaucracy, army, and police support the government that provides them with the benefits they would not have otherwise. The imposition of sanctions does not impact this segment of the population, but is making a gap between them and the rest of the people much wider. Any attempts to replace the regime by staged demonstrations and riots would likely fail. The existing political forces, embedded in the military and police are stronger and better organized than the opposition. If an order cannot be negotiated it will be imposed by force...   https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/05/allow_venezuela_to_fail.html

Former FBI General Counsel James Baker Tries

by redstate.com:  Former FBI counsel James Baker crawled out from under the warm, damp and odoriferous place he’s been keeping himself to try to rehabilitate... his shredded integrity with the aid of another swamp creature. The venue was the Qatar-funded (Qatar is the major international sponsor of the Muslim Brotherhood, if you’re keeping score) and the event was the LawFareBlog’s podcast. The host was Benjamin Wittes, who is a something-or-another at Brookings and runs LawFareBlog, both and either of which come within a few millimeters of making him an unregistered agent for Qatar. While his status as Qatar’s representative may be open to interpretation, his status as one of the most egregious peddlers of scurrlious trash about the dirty cop-Muller investigation and the Trump administration’s non-relationship with Russia, always prefacing the non-stories he was pushing with “BOOM!” The information from a foreign partner about Trump adviser George Papadopoulos “is what triggered us going down this path” of investigating in 2016, Jim Baker said. “It would have been a dereliction if our duty not to investigate this information.” We know this story is patent bullsh**. We know the FBI had possession of an early version of the Steele dossier by July 5, 2016. We further know from the dirty cop-Mueller report that Papadopoulos didn’t mention emails. If one comment, two months after the fact, delivered second hand was sufficient to set off an FBI investigation, the whole agency needs to be disbanded and we need to start from scratch. What makes this more damning is that it now is pretty obvious that Papadopoulos’s source, Joseph Mifsud, is almost certainly as Western, by that I mean British, intelligence asset.  Jim Baker said the investigation was about Russia. “To the extent that any Americans cross our radar screen, we will investigate that.”...   https://www.redstate.com/streiff/2019/05/10/former-fbi-general-counsel-james-baker-tries-gaslight-us-russia-hoax-doesnt-work/?utm_source=rsmorningbriefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&bcid=7220442bc3498cb5e2d68f3cb4d11680

'Pinkwashing' and Israel: How to 
Work against Your Own Best Interests

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Early in April, the British gay newspaper Pink News ran a headline: "LGBT performers to boycott Eurovision in Israel with online broadcast"... The broadcast, known as Globalvision, will be part of the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which tries hard to delegitimize Israel economically and politically. Referring to a letter which activists had written to the pop star Madonna, Pink News reported: "We feel we must write to you to express our deep concern at the political use of the Eurovision that is being made by Israel this year, and to highlight in particular the issue of 'Pinkwashing,'" the letter said. The letter said that 'pinkwashing' is a "PR tactic used by Israel which cynically exploits support for LGBTQIA people to whitewash its oppression of the Palestinian people." The open letter argues that Israel is attempting to ingratiate itself with LGBT+ people in an attempt to distract from its "colonial and apartheid reality." Before commenting on the situation of Israel, it might help to turn our attention to the conditions of LGBT people in countries that are sworn enemies of Israel, but which no-one swears to boycott, divest from, or sanction. It is hard to know where to start when it comes to the mistreatment of LGBTQ people, especially male homosexuals, across the Muslim world. It is a scandal that has been little exposed in the mainstream media, although even there it has begun to attract unfavorable comment...   https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14194/israel-pinkwashing

Should the U.S. be the Policeman of the World?
by Raoul Lowery Contreras

{ americanthinker.com } ~ Ever since the first shots were fired in Massachusetts Colony in 1775 by American patriots demanding independence from England, there have been two American sides to the universal quest for freedom with undecideds in between... This time the focus is on oil-rich Venezuela. One side of America is passive, its view limited to the border, the other active and global. Passive view: defend the United States at the Rio Grande not Baghdad. Active view: fight in Europe, Guadalcanal, Korea, Baghdad or Kabul; not in New York or Los Angeles.  Venezuela, with the world’s largest oil reserves, by the way, first experienced American military intervention on October 7, 1892, when United States Marines landed to protect the U.S. Consulate. Venezuelan requests for American help during that era kept the U.S. directly involved in Venezuelan affairs for a decade, albeit, diplomatically helping Venezuela ward off English expansion on Venezuela’s border with British Guyana. U.S. Marines have landed numerous times in practically every Caribbean country during revolutions that have plagued the hemisphere since the Spanish were expelled after almost 300 years of rule from far-away Madrid. The last two, the Dominican Republic in April, 1965, and Panama in 1989. Like the pioneering freedom fighters of 1810 Mexico that revolted against Spain, native-born Simon Bolivar led Colombia and Venezuela to independence from Spain. What Bolivar could not do is reap an immediate political harvest of local home political rule experience like freed American colonies. This lack of experience is not unique to Spanish Hemispheric history...

Massive Migration From Guatemala, Honduras
7N4DY4kRZewKBA0F7BpX9cDTl3BPVse8YSBecJpSTU9TMmqN5rxcSfBLqCDHTRz-on-XraBXoxlL3x7brqmrnC59k7Cr4vRisJSKlwFxFqhYUAEdILUAznNUM67NvGbLG8WPvD67BAVSSSwBBE18z-VrztNF5wLhd0rFnL4=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Political Editors:  Just how bad is the immigration crisis at the U.S. southern border? Well, here’s an instance where percentages can help people gain a greater overall perspective of the immensity of the problem. According to active Homeland Security Department Secretary Kevin McAleenan, since September of last year over 1% of the entire populations of both Guatemala and Honduras have crossed into the U.S. McAleenan stated, “The current migration flows, especially of vulnerable families and children, from Central America through Mexico, to remote areas all along the U.S. border, represent both a security and humanitarian crisis. The situation is not sustainable.”

As we recently noted, you know it’s gotten bad when even The New York Times admits there’s a crisis.

McAleenan noted, “In March, we had over 103,000 irregular arrivals of undocumented migrants — 90% crossing the U.S. border unlawfully and unsafely in the hands of human smugglers. We will see similar numbers in April.” And the reality is the situation is not getting better. McAleenan further explained, “These trends are deepening and accelerating. According to a recent USAID funded study conducted by Vanderbilt University’s Latin American Public Opinion Project in Guatemala earlier this year, 1 in 4 Guatemalans have an intention to migrate from Guatemala, with 85% of them expressing the United States as their preferred destination.”

“That’s over four million Guatemalans who intend to migrate to the United States,” McAleenan observed. “Imagine if almost the entire population of the Western United States left the country. What kind of impact would that have on the economy, culture, and identity? What does that mean for future generations?”

Meanwhile, Democrats are engrossed in a fight with the White House over the conclusions of dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s special investigation. These Democrats can’t see past their own anti-Trump hatred to recognize that the country is in the midst of a massive crisis that needs all hands on deck.  ~The Patriot Post

DOJ Should Charge House Dems 
With Extortion For Barr Contempt Threat

{ dailycaller.com } ~ When the Republican-controlled House threatened scumbag/liar-nObama Attorney General scumbag-Eric Holder with contempt for refusing to respond to a subpoena... in the “Fast and Furious” scandal, he was able to laugh it off. It was like the joke about the dispute between God and the devil over the boundary between heaven and hell. When God threatened to sue, the devil wryly replied, “Where are you going to get the lawyers?” Now House Democrats are on the verge of voting to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt for failing to provide them a fully unredacted copy of the dirty cop-Mueller report. Barr has already legally given them transparency beyond what the law requires. For Barr to go further would violate the law that protects confidential information such as what comes from grand jury proceedings. The initial distinction between the scumbag-Holder contempt matter and what may happen to Barr is that the former involved hiding from Congress information about lawbreaking by the government, while the latter would require Barr to violate the law to comply with the subpoena issued by Democrats under House Judiciary Committee Chairman scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler. That’s an important distinction for observers who aren’t so overwhelmed with Trump Derangement Syndrome that they can think clearly. Another major distinction is that the threat to hold Barr in contempt could boomerang back at House Democrats with two potential criminal charges. The crime of solicitation involves soliciting another person to commit a crime. The crime of extortion may involve using the threat of prosecution to coercively dispossess what is owned or possessed by another. Extortion initially was a crime that applied to public officials only. The DOJ may think both of these criminal charges should apply to the requests and demands made to Barr to commit a criminal act itself. scumbagt liar-Nadler and his Democrat colleagues will need to lawyer-up if the DOJ wants to pay hardball here. The threat to hold Barr in contempt presents interesting questions about Article I of the Constitution, which vests all legislative powers in Congress. Based on common law precedent, but not expressly stated in Article I, Congress may issue subpoenas. Such subpoenas may be issued for a legislative purpose, unlike other searches and seizures of persons or papers that require probable cause. And, the authority to issue subpoenas implies a power to hold someone in contempt for refusal to comply...   https://dailycaller.com/2019/05/10/fitzgibbons-doj-bar-contempt/?utm_medium=email

{ foxnews.com } ~ The Pentagon has approved a plan to spend an additional $1.5 billion to build 80 more miles of wall along the U.S.-Mexico border... a U.S. defense official confirmed to Fox News Friday. Acting Defense Secretary Patrick  Shanahan approved the re-allocation of funds, which were originally earmarked for support of Afghan security forces and other projects, to help pay for the wall along the southern border. "Today, I authorized the transfer of $1.5 billion toward the construction of more than 80 miles of border barrier," he said. "The funds were drawn from a variety of sources, including cost savings, programmatic changes, and revised requirements, and therefore will have minimal impact on force readiness."In March, Shanahan approved the first transfer of Defense Department dollars and redirected $1 billion to help build nearly 60 miles of wall in Yuma, Ariz. and El Paso, Texas. The combined total of $2.5 billion is in response to President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency at the border. But the plan to divert Pentagon funding has sparked criticism from congressional Democrats, who accused Shanahan of not seeking approval to “reprogram” the funds without congressional authority. Shanahan and other senior defense officials claimed in response they did not have to get permission from Congress despite the objections from Democratic lawmakers...

No one in the sun -and gas- 
soaked Middle East needs nuclear power

{fdd.org} ~ Wednesday’s decision by the Islamic Republic of Iran to break the restrictions of the Iran nuclear deal is a further reminder... that neither Iran, nor for that matter Saudi Arabia, needs nuclear power. Nor, for that matter, does any other state in the gas-soaked, sun-drenched Middle East, where civil nuclear programs are simply nuclear bomb starter kits. Instead of straining to control these programs, or even facilitating them, the U.S. should encourage less risky, cheaper, clean non-nuclear alternatives. The case for nuclear power in the Middle East has never been strong. First, the national electrical systems there are relatively small. Put large amounts of electricity nuclear or non-nuclear on their grids and you risk overloading them and causing blackouts. This is particularly worrisome for nuclear reactors whose safe operation depends on a steady, external supply of electricity to run their coolant and safety systems (think Fukushima). Second, because large reactors can be used to make nuclear explosive materials, they’re prime military targets. Iran, Israel, and the United States each attacked Iraq’s Osirak reactor Israel successfully. Iraq bombed Iran’s Bushehr reactor. Egypt and Iraq targeted Israel’s Dimona reactor. Israel successfully bombed Syria’s reactor at Al Kibar, and, more recently, the Iranian-backed Houthis  claimed they fired missiles at the UAE’s nuclear reactors. Any such strikes risk radiation releases and rattling even the strongest of regimes to its roots think the Soviet Union’s political meltdown, catalyzed, in no small part, by Chernobyl. There is also the danger of insider and cyberattacks that could result in catastrophe. Finally, nuclear power is expensive. The Emirates bought four reactors in 2009 at $6 billion per reactor, while Japan’s recent offer to build similar units for Turkey ran $11 billion per copy. Iran’s reactor at Bushehr cost just as much. What might nuclear electricity cost in the Middle East? The latest estimates are nine cents per kilowatt hour. That’s twice what base-load, natural-gas-fired electricity costs and more than four times what the lowest solar power bids are running. Even onshore wind power is cheaper. But there’s more: Emerging renewable and natural gas technologies promise to make non-nuclear electricity even cheaper and cleaner. Thus, the UAE doesn’t plan to buy any more nuclear reactors. Instead, by 2030, 25% of its electricity will be solar. During the day, photo voltaic panels will feed its grid with electricity costing a fraction of what nuclear runs. When the sun fades, the UAE will exploit concentrated solar power, which uses solar heat stored during the day to generate electricity from late afternoon through early morning. The UAE is currently building the world’s largest concentrated solar power plant, capable of generating 700 megawatts. CSP costs more than traditional solar, but still less than nuclear...

Secret U.S. Missile Aims to Kill

{ gellerreport.com } ~ The U.S. government has developed a specially designed, secret missile for pinpoint airstrikes that kill terrorist leaders with no explosion... drastically reducing damage and minimizing the chances of civilian casualties, multiple current and former U.S. officials said. Both the Central Intelligence Agency and the Pentagon have used the weapon while closely guarding its existence. A modified version of the well-known Hellfire missile, the weapon carries an inert warhead. Instead of exploding, it is designed to plunge more than 100 pounds of metal through the tops of cars and buildings to kill its target without harming individuals and property close by. To the targeted person, it is as if a speeding anvil fell from the sky, the officials said. But this variant of the Hellfire missile, designated as the R9X, also comes equipped with a different kind of payload: a halo of six long blades that are stowed inside and then deploy through the skin of the missile seconds before impact to ensure that it shreds anything in its tracks. Details about the secret weapon and its deployment were confirmed by more than a dozen current and former U.S. officials. Its development and use haven’t been previously disclosed, though its existence has been the subject of speculation. The R9X is known colloquially to the small community of individuals who are familiar with its use as “the flying Ginsu,” for the blades that can cut through buildings or car roofs and kill the target. The nickname is a reference to the popular knives sold on TV infomercials in the late 1970s and early 1980s that showed them cutting through both tree branches and tomatoes. The weapon has also been referred to as the Ninja bomb.

Pakistan: teen girl has oil thrown on her, 
lit on fire for refusing marriage proposal

{ jihadwatch.org } ~ Another case that illustrates the gross human rights abuses against women, based on their lower status in Islam... This case illustrates the cruelty sometimes associated with “forced marriage”.  A teen girl in Pakistan had oil thrown on her and was then set on fire in Pakistan for reportedly refusing a marriage proposal. The intent was to murder her. Her face will never be the same, her life will never be the same. Do Western  feminists care? evidently not. Also in Pakistan, forced conversion and forced marriage of young Hindu and Christian girls are common. Last year, a UK mother took her teen daughter to Pakistan “under the guise of a holiday, but later found herself being forced to marry a relative almost twice her age”. Open door immigration imports a range of abusive Islamic practices.Police on Thursday arrested the key suspect in an attempted murder case, who, along with his unidentified companion, allegedly set a girl on fire in Muzaffargarh for refusing his marriage proposal. A first information report (FIR) was registered by the mother of the teenage girl, aged 15 or 16 years, under Sections 324 (attempted murder), 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) and 452 (house-trespass after preparation for hurt, assault or wrongful restraint) of the Pakistan Penal Code. Police said that the victim, whose suffered burn injuries on her face, body and arms, was shifted to Muzzafargarh District Headquarters hospital. According to police, her condition is stable. According to the FIR, the victim’s mother woke up at around 1.30am during the night when she heard her daughter screaming. She said two men were running away after pouring oil on her daughter and setting her on fire...   https://www.jihadwatch.org/2019/05/pakistan-teen-girl-has-oil-thrown-on-her-lit-on-fire-for-refusing-marriage-proposal

An Epidemic of Loneliness

Arnold Ahlert:  “All the lonely people/ Where do they all come from?/ All the lonely people/ Where do they all belong?” —Eleanor Rigby, Lennon/McCartney, 1966

Perhaps there is no greater irony in modern day America than the reality that we have more ways of communicating than ever before even as millions of American are suffering from loneliness that has reached epidemic levels.

“Since the turn of the century, Americans have been dying from suicide, alcohol-related illnesses, and drug overdoses at a rate that has never before been seen,”  reveals Francie Hart Broghammer, MD, chief psychiatry resident at UC Irvine Medical Center. “Princeton economists Anne Case and Angus Deaton have aptly named these tragedies ‘Deaths of Despair.’ In fact, suicide is now the second leading cause of death for American teenagers and the tenth leading cause of death for Americans, overall.”

The numbers are sobering. Since 1999, half the states in the nation have seen a 30% increase in suicide rates,  according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Moreover, drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death for those under 50, and each year since 2015, America’s life expectancy has declined. In 2017 alone, 7,000 more Americans committed suicide than died in car accidents, and a staggering 70,000 Americans died of drug overdoses.

A 2018 survey of more than 20,000 U.S. adults ages 18 years and older, published by global health-service company Cigna, reveals the scope of the problem:

  • Nearly half of Americans report sometimes or always feeling alone (46%) or left out (47%).

  • One in four Americans (27%) rarely or never feel as though there are people who really understand them.

  • Two in five Americans sometimes or always feel that their relationships are not meaningful (43%) and that they are isolated from others (43%).

  • One in five people report they rarely or never feel close to people (20%) or feel like there are people they can talk to (18%).

  • Americans who live with others are less likely to be lonely (average loneliness score of 43.5) compared to those who live alone (46.4). However, this does not apply to single parents/guardians (average loneliness score of 48.2) – even though they live with children, they are more likely to be lonely.

  • Only around half of Americans (53%) have meaningful in-person social interactions, such as having an extended conversation with a friend or spending quality time with family, on a daily basis.

  • Generation Z (adults ages 18-22) is the loneliest generation and claims to be in worse health than older generations.

  • Social media use alone is not a predictor of loneliness; respondents defined as very heavy users of social media have a loneliness score (43.5) that is not markedly different from the score of those who never use social media (41.7).

America is hardly an outlier. “Nearly half of Britons over 65 consider the television or a pet their main source of company,” reveals historian, economist, and demographer Neil Howe. “In Japan, there are more than half a million people under 40 who haven’t left their house or interacted with anyone for at least six months. In Canada, the share of solo households is now 28%. Across the European Union, it’s 34%.”

Psychologists are quick to emphasize that loneliness is not mitigated by the presence of other people. “One feels a sense of emptiness, kind of like an emptiness of the soul,” explains Health Partners psychologist Dr. Cheryl Bemel. “A wounded heart and lack of connection. A sense of disconnection.”

As the Cigna survey notes, social media usage is not an incisive factor, but one would have to be living under a rock not to notice the deleterious effect of cell phones. A society where people used to at least talk to one another — an exchange where various vocal inflections often communicated as much as the words themselves — has been replaced by one where texting rules and emoticons are used to convey subtext.

“The arrival of the smartphone has radically changed every aspect of teenagers’ lives, from the nature of their social interactions to their mental health,” explains author Jean M. Twenge.

Yet it’s not just phones. “For all their power to link kids day and night, social media also exacerbate the age-old teen concern about being left out,” Twenge explains. “Today’s teens may go to fewer parties and spend less time together in person, but when they do congregate, they document their hangouts relentlessly — on Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook. Those not invited to come along are keenly aware of it.”

Those who built social media sites are equally aware of their potential pitfalls. In 2017, The Independent profiled  Justin Rosenstein, who invented the “Like” button for Facebook, noting that Rosenstein made a concerted effort to limit his social media time — when he wasn’t completely avoiding it. “It is very common for humans to develop things with the best of intentions and for them to have unintended, negative consequences,” he stated.

As many Americans learned before and since, “best intentions” are the last thing on the minds of far too many tech titans and their Master of the Universe worldview.

Yet perhaps the biggest change that has afflicted America is routinely dismissed. “People who have lost religion and are coasting along on materialism find they have few interior resources to keep going when crisis hits,” writes  columnist Andrew Sullivan. “They have no place of refuge, no spiritual safe space from which to gain perspective, no God to turn to.”

It is far worse than that. Since the so-called “God is dead” social revolution of the 1960s, the radical secularism that has now morphed into social-justice warrior-ism has, and continues to be, promoted by the American Left as the road to social utopia. And almost seamlessly, America replaced its religious leaders with lawyers and therapists. Thus what was once defined as “good and evil” has largely become “legal and illegal,” and “well and unwell,” in all their morally relative — and ostensibly guilt-relieving — glory.

Yet complete Godlessness — or worse, the idea that there is nothing bigger than The Self — doesn’t get it done. All the psychobabble in the world notwithstanding, human beings are hard-wired to wonder how they got here and where they are going, during their lives and afterwards.

As columnist Glenn Beaton astutely explains, “[Secularists] from Lenin to Pol Pot have hated real religion. In the end, they believe, there can be only one religion. They aim to make it theirs and they intend to be the high priests. They don’t intend to share their authority with God.”

Loneliness is more than likely the primary symptom afflicting those unable to reconcile the conflict between people of faith, who insist it cannot be replaced by radical secularism, and those who must dismiss people of faith as “bitter clingers” because faith — by definition — transcends government, and represents the greatest impediment to totalitarian control necessary to achieve socialist utopia.

Moreover, without transcendence, we get what we’ve got: a polarized nation consisting of tribes, each competing to assert moral authority that is neither moral nor authoritative.

Sadly, for far too many Americans, loneliness is the preferred option.  ~The Patriot Post

{ jpost.com } ~ Popular American Imam Omar Suleiman, known for his Israel-bashing antics, gave the Ramadan invocation at the opening of Thursday’s House of Representatives session... Suleiman is the founder and president of the Irving, Texas-based Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research. He was invited to give Thursday's invocation by US Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas), a Yaqeen Institute statement said.  The information was originally revealed and reported by the Investigative Project on Terrorism.“We pray for peace, not war," he said. "Love not hate. Benevolence, not greed. Unity, not division. And we commit ourselves to not betraying our prayers with actions that contradict them. Let us be for truth, no matter who, or for is against it." Suleiman has made several vehemently anti-Israel comments and also seemed to side with Hamas in an August 2014 Facebook post. As the 2014 Gaza War broke out, Suleiman said on social media: “How befitting that the 3rd Intifada starts on the 27th night of Ramadan as worshippers are denied prayer in Masjid Al Aqsa.” He ended his post with a prayer of sorts: “God willing on this blessed night as the 3rd Intifada begins, the beginning of the end of Zionism is here. May Allah help us overcome this monster, protect the innocent of the world, and accept the murdered as martyrs. ameen.” During the war, Suleiman also denied that Hamas uses human shields in an attempt to stop the IDF from retaliating against rocket fire sent from Gaza into Israeli civilian communities. “If Hamas was using human shields, wouldn't the Palestinians say something about it?” he wrote. “Surprise, surprise: apparently the IDF was guilty even as they tried to convince the world that the reason why they couldn't stop massacring civilians was because of the use of human shields. This is disgusting... #FreePalestine #ICC4Israel”  Also in 2014, Suleiman also made a comment on social media alluding to the antisemitic idea that Israel controls American foreign policy, claiming that it is the "51st state... Dems will burn for letting this happen.   https://www.jpost.com/Diaspora/Israel-bashing-Imam-delivers-opening-prayer-at-House-of-Representatives-589337

Trump Is Correct! hanoi-Kerry 
Violated Logan Act-More Than Once

{ lidblog.com } ~ President Trump on Thursday correctly accused former Secretary of State hanoi-John Kerry of breaking the law by meeting with Iranian officials last year... Trump told reporters : “You know hanoi-John Kerry speaks to them a lot, and hanoi-John Kerry tells them not to call. That’s a violation of the Logan Act, and frankly he should be prosecuted on that, But my people don’t want to do anything, only the Democrats do that kind of stuff. If it were the opposite way, they’d prosecute him under the Logan Act,” But it will never happen because violating the Logan Act is a Democratic Party tradition. During interviews to promote his new book this past September hanoi-Kerry told an interviewer that he has met with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif three or four times since leaving office and that their talks touched on the international nuclear agreement which hanoi-Kerry negotiated and President Trump withdrew from because it was such a bad deal or America. This was the first time hanoi-Kerry admitted this violation, but in May of this year, the Boston Globe reported that he had been secretly meeting with the Iranian foreign minister and European leaders, advising them on how to save the flawed JCPOA. The President is saying that hanoi-Kerry’s meetings were a violation of the Logan Act. And the stepfather of the Heinz Ketchup fortune has violated the Logan Act before. In 1985, Senator hanoi-John Kerry traveled to Nicaragua for a friendly get-together with the Sandinista president, Daniel Ortega. The position of the Reagan administration was to support the opposition Contras. hanoi-Kerry wasn’t much interested in the administration’s position. Upon his return to the United States, hanoi-Kerry met with President Reagan to convey a message from Ortega. Reagan “wasn’t thrilled,” hanoi-Kerry later told the New York Times. In 2006 hanoi-Kerry went to Syria to meet with Assad over the objections of President Bush #43, who was trying to isolate the Syrian despot at the time...   https://lidblog.com/kerry-logan-act/

New York Times May Have Broken Law 
by Publishing Trump’s Tax Returns

{ dailysignal.com } ~ The New York Times no doubt considers it quite a coup to have obtained and published President Donald Trump’s tax return information from 1985 to 1994... But doing so violated Trump’s right under federal law to the confidentiality of his tax returns. The Times—which reported that Trump’s businesses lost $1.17 billion during the 10-year period—has no more right to Trump’s tax returns than it has to mine or those of any of you reading these words. Confidentiality, as the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held in 1991 in U.S. v. Richey, is essential to “maintaining a workable tax system.” Taxpayer privacy is “fundamental to a tax system that relies on self-reporting” since it protects “sensitive or otherwise personal information,” said then-Judge (now Supreme Court Justice) Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 1986 in another case when she served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Federal law—26 U.S.C. §7213(a)(1)—makes it a felony for any federal employee to disclose tax returns or “return information.” Infractions are punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine as high as $250,000 under the Alternative Fines Act (18 U.S.C. §3571). Regardless of the accuracy or inaccuracy of The New York Times story, tax returns themselves, as well as tax return information such as these IRS transcripts which are a summary of the tax returns, are protected from disclosure by federal law. And this provision applies to private individuals as well as government employees, a fact that should be considered by the New York Times’ source. According to the newspaper, it did not actually obtain Trump’s tax returns but “printouts from his official Internal Revenue Service tax transcripts, with the figures from his federal tax form, the 1040, from someone who had legal access to them.” The Times quotes a lawyer for the president, Charles J. Harder, as saying that the tax information in the story is “demonstrably false” and that IRS transcripts, particularly from the days before electronic filing, are “notoriously inaccurate.” However, that claim is disputed by a former IRS employee now at the liberal Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center...   https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/05/10/new-york-times-may-have-broken-law-by-publishing-trumps-tax-returns/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWlRrd01XVmpNbVk0WXpCaiIsInQiOiJ0NjVQSHhIUFNreUhCV3Vhck9GUW05bTd5b1VNMnN4ZGV6TisyaGRRN2NCXC9ZeHVhY21hUERiTHBQN0tZNTNaUTFheUlqenNsUDRqYWRGbU4zOXBcL1dOZHVtZlNlUzF4eTBacGxvcmtyeDlheEJLS3R2Qk15K2t3VXVBN1dncFYyIn0%3D

{ bizpacreview.com } ~ With Barack scumbag/liar-nObama having set the tone, weaponizing the institution of government to target political opponents may be here to stay... Not willing to accept special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller finding no evidence of collusion with Russia, Democrats push forward with their efforts to undercover enough dirt to impeach President Donald Trump — or at least damage him enough to ensure defeat in 2020. And they’re intent on doing all they can to intimidate Trump and his administration into complying with a number of investigations of the president — there are no less than FIVE Democrat-controlled House committees now targeting Trump. The latest Democrat to flex his political muscles is Rep. scumbag-Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the notorious Trump-hating chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who made it clear Thursday he may fine Trump officials who refuse to comply with subpoenas, to include the president himself. Speaking with Axios’ Mike Allen at a Friday morning newsmaker event, scumbag-Schiff said the Pulosi-led House is considering reviving its inherent contempt power to impose hefty fines on Trump and administration officials to force them to obey subpoenas, according to ABC News...

{ thedenverchannel.com } ~ Voters in Denver appear to have overwhelmingly rejected a measure that would have overturned the city’s ban on camping in public places... As of preliminary results released at 1 a.m. Wednesday, Initiative 300 was headed for defeat with 83 percent of voters saying “no” and 17 percent saying “yes.” Results won’t be certified until later this month. Denver's current urban camping ordinance bans tarps, sleeping bags and tents in public. That ban was put in place in 2012. Proponents of Initiative 300 said the ban is cruel and unusual and their measure is necessary to protect human rights. The campaign to defeat Initiative 300 raised millions of dollars, and many local organizations, including the Denver Rescue Mission and other homeless advocacy groups, all voiced opposition to the measure. The all state needs to build homeless shelters for them. The same way the government builds for illegals.

Dems Claim 'Constitutional Crisis' Over 
Faux Scandal
EaxWABXUZ6Q9jhz88jX7C9OeohnRiAPlmU-g7uaP2dZQqRk-q3z8LZmTWHxM-pHAmA2gr4NnH_XS4CNwmAk8nKfQoeSO63tpX705y-NMjpLewdzsgcIubmchRxYcHWbI3CJEeUr-_B4oIP-G1HnrAOAGBxU3TCUpxxigPQTqawBeJVY=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Thomas Gallatin:  “Not one of the six Democrats granted access to what amounts to 99.9 percent of volume II of the dirty cop-Mueller report, which details the president’s behavior as it relates to obstruction of justice, have taken the opportunity to examine it,” writes National Review’s Jack Crowe. But according to House Judiciary Committee Chairman scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler (D-NY), there’s a “constitutional crisis” after President Donald Trump, at the request of the Justice Department, asserted executive privilege to protect Attorney General William Barr from being held in contempt of Congress. Undeterred, Democrats maintained their vacuous assertion that Barr is hiding something and voted to hold him in contempt anyway.

Spare us the hand-wringing over constitutional fidelity and the Rule of Law. This is nothing more than pure Democrat political theater meant to advance their manufactured faux scandal. scumbag liar-Nadler peddles a myth when claiming that Barr is “not being truthful with Congress.” How has Barr not been truthful? In fact, the AG went above and beyond the requirements of law in order to get as much of dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report to the American public as is legally possible. Anyone can get a copy, and key Democrats even have access to all but a few lines of redacted material.

But that’s not enough for Democrats. Their demand is that Barr break the law by presenting the report fully unredacted. As Hans von Spakovsky of The Heritage Foundation explains, “Unless Congress’s request for Rule 6(e) grand jury material falls squarely into one of the statutory or court-created exceptions, the attorney general — any attorney general — is prohibited from disclosing that material to Congress. And the congressional request doesn’t fit any of the exceptions.”

Why are Democrats making this demand, since dirty cop-Mueller’s team, which consisted of mostly Democrat lawyers, determined after nearly two years of investigation that no crime was committed? Because, as Mark Alexander notes, “It’s not about the substance of the dirty cop-Mueller report. It’s about keeping the fake narrative alive.” Democrats will not be satisfied with anything short of removing Trump. So, if there is a “constitutional crisis,” it’s not coming from Trump and the executive branch.

scumbag liar-Nadler’s claim that the executive branch has somehow overstepped the Constitution’s delineation of powers is a charge that is nonsense on its face. Using the term “co-equal,” scumbag liar-Nadler and the Democrats act like that means the executive branch is fully answerable to the legislative branch’s every petty demand. Clearly, Democrats believe their political position and interests are “more equal” than Trump’s.

Recall that it was the same scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler who back in 2012 touted that he “just joined the #walkout of the House chamber to protest the shameful, politically-motivated GOP vote holding AG scumbag-[Eric] Holder in contempt.” When it was a Democrat sitting at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, scumbag liar-Nadler was singing a completely different tune. But it’s 2019 and Trump is president…

The truth is, Democrats know that there is no “smoking gun” to be found in any of the redacted portions of the dirty cop-Mueller report. They just want an excuse to claim that Barr is engaged in “obstruction.” And they’re trying to tar Barr as a biased Trump stooge who is so politically compromised that he cannot be trusted as the nation’s number-one lawman. The real play? Self-protection. As Victor Davis Hanson observes, “Progressives are terrified that a number of Trump’s critics — scumbag/commie-Brennan, scumbag-Clapper, scumbag-Comey, McCabe — may soon be indicted. They apparently seek to preempt such indictments by attacking Barr, a seemingly no-nonsense prosecutor who will likely follow up on any criminal referrals from any inspector general that reach his desk.” Those coup co-conspirators pose the real constitutional crisis.  ~The Patriot Post

{ legalinsurrection.com } ~ There is no constitutional crisis regarding the House Intelligence Committee’s unsuccessful attempt to get the unredacted dirty cop-Mueller report, including secret grand jury information... and the documents underlying the investigation.  Disregard what scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler says about there being a constitutional crisis. Disregard Nancy Pulosi parroting scumbag liar-Nadler: This is all just more Democrat theater of the absurd. House Democrats not getting their way is not a constitutional crisis. At some point the issue will land in court, and a court will determine whether the Executive Branch properly is withholding the material. Then more judges will rule on the appeal, and it will end up at the Supreme Court, in all likelihood. If the Supreme Court rules that the material must be turned over, and if the administration defies that court ruling, then we have a crisis. I’m not sure it’s technically a constitutional crisis, because the constitution does not provide for judicial supremacy. But the norm since Marbury v. Madison in 1803 is that the judiciary’s interpretation of the law prevails. Remember what is at issue. Congress has been offered the entire dirty cop-Mueller report except for grand jury material, which DOJ say it is prohibited from disclosing. Nothing in that slight percentage of grand jury material in the dirty cop-Mueller report changed dirty cop-Mueller’s conclusions, so it’s unlikely to be helpful to Democrats. scumbag liar-Nadler and crew refused even to view the redactions related to classified material and ongoing investigations, which DOJ offered to provide for viewing. What Democrats want is not the grand jury material, but the ability to cry “constitutional crisis!” over being denied access...

Senate Intel Committee subpoenas Donald

by Carlos Garcia
{ theblaze.com } ~ Donald Trump Jr. was subpoenaed by the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday to testify about a meeting with Russians ahead of the 2016 election, and he's going to fight it... That's according to a source close to the president's oldest son that released a statement to the media. "When he originally agreed to testify in front of the Senate Intel Committee in 2017, there was an agreement between Don and the Committee that he would only have to come in and testify a single time as long as he was willing to stay for as long as they'd like, which Don did," the statement from the source read. "Don continues to cooperate by producing documents and is willing to answer written questions, but no lawyer would ever agree to allow their client to participate in what is an obvious PR stunt from a so-called 'Republican' Senator too cowardly to stand up to his boss Mark Warner and the rest of the resistance Democrats on the committee," the statement concluded. Trump Jr. has said publicly that he had very limited knowledge of the Trump Tower meeting with Russians, but more recent testimony from Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer for President Donald Trump, puts that contention into dispute. CNN's Manu Raju also reported that Trump Jr. was considering ignoring the subpoena and not showing up at all, or pleading his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) quipped about the subpoena, saying, "Apparently the Republican chair of the Senate Intel Committee didn't get the memo from the Majority Leader that this case was closed..."  https://www.theblaze.com/news/trump-jr-subpoena-for-russia

Why Have Department of Defense
Suicides Spiked?

{ americanthinker.com } ~ The Department of Defense has a suicide problem. Thank Presidents scumbag/liar-Clinton and scumbag/liar-nObama... Prior to 1993, the Department of Defense (DOD) used to screen recruits, officer candidates, and service academy entrants for mental, personality, and suicide behavior disorders... Now they don’t.  The Department of Defense uses the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) as its source reference for psychiatric diagnoses and metal disorders. Most Americans have little knowledge of, the DSM, its contents, and its implications. The DSM is published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and “offers a common language and standard criteria for the classification of mental disorders.” It is used, or relied upon, by clinicians, researchers, psychiatric drug regulation agencies, health insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, the legal system, and policy makers. In the United States the DSM serves as a universal authority for psychiatric diagnoses. The January 30, 2018 edition of the Marine Corps Times announced: The Corps’ suicide rate is at a 10-year high. The Marines also continue to review data involving suicides that are used to address policy, guidance and suicide prevention analysis, according to Manpower and Reserve Affairs. The Corps has a slew of training initiatives and outreach programs regarding suicide and suicide prevention. Every Service in DOD has suicide prevention programs, yet all of the Services are experiencing significantly higher-than-normal suicide rates. What really happened to these suicidal men and women who somehow escaped the torpedo net of training initiatives and outreach programs? The APA’s DSM had always been a part of the DOD’s personnel procurement system. When men and women had enlistment physicals, they were evaluated by a physician for obvious physical defects and to also see if they had an apparent mental or personality disorder. Any potential recruit screened with mental, personality, and suicide and a range of other behavior disorders were considered unfit for service. Then President scumbag/liar-Clinton signed the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell law...

No One Likes You, scumbag-Eric Swalwell

{thefederalist.com} ~ When 2018 midterm voters were polled on the issues most important to them, the Russia investigation ranked dead last... That might explain why Democratic presidential candidate scumbag-Eric Swalwell, who has branded himself as the “Guns and Russia” candidate, is polling at 0 percent among all 2020 Democratic hopefuls. In fact, a majority of polls don’t even include scumbag-Swalwell in the top 17 candidates. In an April CNN poll, 66 percent of respondents had never heard of him. Despite the dismal numbers, scumbag-Swalwell has clung to his two favorite issues. The 38-year-old often leverages his position on the House Intelligence Committee to make frequent cable news appearances discussing Russia and the dirty cop-Mueller report.  On CBS’s “Face The Nation” this Sunday, scumbag-Swalwell said impeachment “may be the only road to save the country.” On Wednesday, the Democratic congressman from California was widely mocked after comparing the Mueller report to the terrorist attacks on 9/11 and Pearl Harbor on Twitter. But his real passion issue remains gun-grabbing. In a San Francisco Chronicle essay laying out his reasons for running for president, scumbag-Swalwell’s number-one reason was that the single greatest threat to young Americans’ lives is gun violence. At a time in which child mortality rates have dropped by half over the last two decades, this claim is just categorically untrue. At a Wednesday night vigil for a student who died in a Colorado school shooting, angry students stormed out after politicians speaking at the event began calling for gun control instead of honoring their late classmate. One student told The Daily Wire they were angry when the event became “highly politicized.” Nevertheless, scumbag-Swalwell continues to pen op-eds calling for $15 million gun buybacks, banning “military-style semiautomatic assault weapons,” and jailing people who resist giving up their weapons. At the height of his passion, he has even threatened to nuke his own gun-owning constituents should they not surrender their firearms to the government...Why is he against our 2nd Amendment rights let alot being in congress.

Nate Jackson:  Way back in the heady days of 2008, Barack scumbag/liar-nObama admitted that the radical environmentalist agenda he advocated was going to be pricy. “Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket,” scumbag/liar-nObama said. “Coal-powered plants, you know, natural gas, you name it, whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.”

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nationwide electricity rates since scumbag/liar-nObama’s 2008 declaration are up nearly 13%, though on an annual basis that’s generally lower than the rate of inflation. So maybe we avoided scumbag/liar-nObama’s prediction? Not so fast.

Bloomberg’s Cass Sunstein notes new research revealing “that renewable-fuel mandates are an unusually expensive way to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.” Primarily because of what it does to electricity rates. Sunstein explains:

A strong majority of states now have “renewable portfolio standards,” which require that a specified percentage of the electricity supply must come from renewables. In California, the 2030 target is 60 percent. In New York, it is 50 percent.

Some states have lower targets, but even so the standards are expected to produce significant increases in the use of renewable energy — and to move states in the direction of becoming carbon-free.

To evaluate renewable-portfolio standards, it is essential to answer two critical questions. First, how much do they do to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions? Second, how much do they cost?

The answer to the first question is arguably good news: “Over their first seven years, such standards produced large cuts in carbon emissions — perhaps as much as 659 million metric tons.” But that reduction cost a pretty penny. Researchers say the price per ton is anywhere from $130 to $460. That may be front-end heavy, though, and prices may come down as technology improves.

Still, the reality is that leftists are picking winners and losers. As Sunstein writes, “Renewable-fuels requirements seem to be a way to take business away from the bad guys and to give it to the good guys. Their costs are not visible. People may well pay more for electricity, but they don’t see why.” That’s evidence of the fundamental truth that regulations are a form of hidden taxation. In 2008, scumbag/liar-nObama argued that the biggest challenge was “get[ting] the American people to say this is really important” despite the costs. It’s easier to achieve public approval when the costs are hidden.

Some other things to think about from our past commentary:

Electric vehicles leave an outsized carbon footprint.

Wind and solar cannot compete with fossil fuels and nuclear energy for efficiency.

And yet ecofascists become more insistent all the time on boondoggles like the $93 trillion Green New Deal, despite its predicted effects being “barely distinguishable from zero.” We’re already paying more as a result of leftist schemes. Enough is enough.  ~The Patriot Post

wbarr-1.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710xOkay, so the Mueller report finally got finished, after two years, 2,800 subpoenas, the interviewing of some 500 witnesses and after somewhere near $35 million taxpayer dollars were spent on it.

That report was then delivered to the Attorney General, as it was supposed to have been.

The Attorney General read through the report and then did exactly what he was supposed to do…he released a summary of the report.

That’s pretty much where the things that were supposed to have been done ended, and the crap storm began.

Liberals weren’t at all happy that the Mueller report failed to find any collusion between Trump and the Russians, and they weren’t at all happy that Mueller couldn’t find any obstruction of justice on Trump’s part either. After all, the liberals had pinned their hopes and dreams on the Mueller report. That report was supposed to make all their gnashing of teeth and wadding of panties worthwhile.

{ thefederalist.com } ~ Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller spent more than $732,000 on outside contractors, including private investigators and researchers, records show... but his office refuses to say who they were. While it’s not unusual for special government offices to outsource for services such as computer support, dirty cop-Mueller also hired contractors to compile “investigative reports” and other “information.” The arrangement has led congressional investigators, government watchdog groups and others to speculate that the private investigators and researchers who worked for the special counsel’s office might have included Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS, the private research firm that hired Steele to produce the Russia collusion dossier for the scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign. They suspect the dossier creators may have been involved in dirty cop-Mueller’s operation, and even had a hand in his final report, because the special counsel sent his team to London to meet with Steele within a few months of taking over the Russia collusion investigation in 2017. Also, dirty cop-Mueller’s lead prosecutor, Andrew Weissmann, had shared information he received from Fusion with the media. Raising additional suspicions, dirty cop-Mueller’s report recycles the general allegations leveled in the dossier. And taking a page from earlier surveillance-warrant applications in the Russia investigation, it cites as supporting evidence several articles—including one by Yahoo! News—that used Steele and Fusion as sources. dirty cop-Mueller even kept alive one of the dossier’s most obscene accusations—that Moscow had “compromising tapes” of Trump with Russian hookers—by slipping into a footnote an October 2016 text Trump lawyer Michael Cohen received from a “Russian businessman,” who cryptically intimated, “Stopped flow of tapes from Russia.”...

The 22 declared candidates for the presidential nomination lean far to the left. Which means they represent the center of their now-far-left party.

{ kerrypicket.com } ~ House Democrats may have damaged their chances of getting special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller to testify following the Wednesday contempt charge vote against Attorney General Bill Barr in the House Judiciary Committee... The Justice Department blasted the Judiciary Committee after the party-line contempt vote. “The only side who has made accommodations is the Attorney General, who made extraordinary efforts to provide Congress and the public with information about the Special Counsel’s work,” the DOJ said in a statement. Barr cannot “comply with the House Judiciary Committee’s subpoena without violating the law, court rules, and court orders.” President Donald Trump said Thursday afternoon he would leave it up to Barr to decide whether dirty cop-Mueller could testify before Congress about the Russia investigation. Trump previously tweeted he did not want dirty cop-Mueller to testify before Congress, but the contempt charge vote seems to have changed the circumstances. As a result of Trump’s announcement, Barr could order the Justice Department not to allow dirty cop-Mueller to testify if the Democrats decide to take the contempt charge against him to the floor for a vote. Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, seemed unconcerned about this possibility...

Midterm Assessment: Iran

{ fdd.org } ~ For almost two years, before President Trump ordered the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria in December 2018... the Trump administration pursued an Iran policy based on the use of all instruments of national power to stop Tehran from engaging in a wide array of aggressive and malign behaviors that defy global norms. In his May 21, 2018 speech, “A New Iran Strategy,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on Iran to end verifiably its nuclear weapons and advanced ballistic missile programs, cease its support for terrorism and the destabilization of foreign governments, release all hostages, and halt its aggression against Israel and other U.S. allies. To achieve these objectives, the administration designed a strategy to pressure the regime – diplomatically, economically, and militarily. To that end, the administration walked away from the nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and reinstated the comprehensive sanctions that had forced Iran to the negotiating table in 2013. The focal point of U.S. strategy was to intensify the Iranian regime’s ongoing liquidity crisis, which threatened to cripple its economy as a whole. The secretary of state also insisted the U.S. “will advocate tirelessly for the Iranian people,” who endure grave human rights violations and pervasive corruption. The Trump administration made it clear that it did not seek regime change, but would take advantage of the Islamic Republic’s deficit of legitimacy. In short, the U.S. purported to implement a policy of maximum pressure. The administration designed its comprehensive pressure campaign to resemble the one Ronald Reagan deployed against the Soviet Union. The cornerstone of his strategy was the recognition that the Soviet Union was an aggressive and revolutionary, yet internally fragile, regime. Reagan outlined his policy in National Security Decision Directive 75 in 1983. The plan included a massive defense buildup, economic warfare, support for anti-Soviet proxy forces and dissidents to combat Moscow globally, and an all-out offensive against the regime’s ideological legitimacy. The Trump administration withdrew from the JCPOA because the nuclear deal permitted Iran to reach the threshold of a nuclear weapons capability without even cheating. Rather, by waiting for key constraints to sunset, Tehran would have an industrial-size enrichment program, a near-zero breakout time, advanced centrifuges that are easier to operate in a clandestine manner, long-range ballistic missiles, and access to advanced conventional weaponry. In the meantime, its economy could grow with increased foreign investment and decreased vulnerability to sanctions.The administration made it clear that it was prepared to reestablish full diplomatic and commercial relations with Tehran if the regime negotiated a deal that corrects the shortcomings of the JCPOA. As Secretary Pompeo indicated, this would include an end to all uranium enrichment and plutonium reprocessing, “unqualified access” to all sites for UN weapons inspectors, full disclosure of previous nuclear weapons programs, and the termination of Iran’s nuclear-capable missile program. An agreement would also require the release of all U.S. and foreign hostages and the cessation of Iran’s support for terrorism and other aggressive conduct in the Middle East...  https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2019/01/31/midterm-assessment-iran/

Germany: Citizenship for Polygamous Migrants?

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ The German government has withdrawn proposed legislation that would have banned immigrants in polygamous marriages from obtaining German citizenship... The proposed ban had been included in draft changes to Germany's naturalization law, but was quietly removed from the final text, apparently in the interests of political correctness and multiculturalism. Although German law clearly prohibits polygamy for German nationals, some have argued that the law is unclear as to whether the law applies to foreign nationals living in Germany. The interior ministers of Germany's 16 states had unanimously called on the German government to clarify the issue by enshrining into law a blanket ban on German citizenship for polygamous migrants. Critics say that the bill, as it currently stands, would not only create a legal backdoor for polygamous migrants to become German citizens, but would effectively legalize the practice for Muslim immigrants. The changes would, consequently, enshrine into German law two parallel legal systems, one based on German Civil Law and another based on Islamic Sharia law. The German government has long been debating proposed changes to the country's Nationality Act (Staatsangehörigkeitsgesetz, StAG) that would strip German dual-citizens of their German citizenship if they join jihadi groups abroad. The proposed changes would not be retroactive and would not, for instance, apply to German jihadis who joined the Islamic State. The original draft included language that would have prohibited immigrants in polygamous marriages, as well as immigrants who lack legal identification, from becoming German citizens. The language was removed from the bill after a Cabinet meeting in early April. The removal of the text, first reported by the newspaper Welt am Sonntag on May 5, has been greeted with outrage. The parliamentary spokesman for the Christian Democrats, Mathias Middelberg, blamed Justice Minister Katarina Barley, of the Social Democrats, for removing the language. "This is completely incomprehensible and unacceptable," said Middelberg. "It should be self-evident that naturalization of persons living in polygamous marriages is out of the question in the Basic Law."...   https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14191/germany-polygamy-migrants

UN: 1 Million Species Extinct if World 
Not Reorganized
GbzdT8QZOwxQVU8FSxbiGzePbIg4oEqYDCBYsQcP04NVL5WQo0wqbLMyTE736SbL-8E7Jr1_SNBJee96RCbbKl-wFDdxpor6R-DgeYnJWPoL0Dcm1_l1MOnwa39n9s6ATZ0Lq1PvxHIDMpleUZaTzwtLi0owxB4mXm6Ej08=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Political Editors:  The United Nations released a report this week warning that the “global rate of species extinction is already at least tens to hundreds of times higher than the average rate over the past 10 million years and is accelerating.” The report further notes that if some “transformative change” is not enacted soon, an estimated one million animal species are at risk of extinction. And who, according to the UN’s Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), is to blame for this? Modern man, of course.
 

And the solution to this problem? The IPBES’s recommended “transformative changes” include shrinking the human population, ending “overconsumption,” and “addressing inequalities, especially regarding income and gender, which undermine capacity for sustainability.” In other words, population control and socialism on a global scale.

However, as with anthropogenic climate change, the “science” behind the IPBES’s report is dubious at best. And the recommended socioeconomic solutions are flat nonsense. In fact, the solutions would likely increase the threat to these species rather than mitigate it. The reality is that under greater capitalism and free trade, efficiency standards have increased as the environmental impact has lessened. As Tim Worstall observes in the Washington Examiner, the UN report “insists upon efficient resource use by being inefficient.”

Ronald Bailey’s assessment at Reason is more pointed: “The IPBES report falls in a long line of apocalyptic extinction predictions. For example, S. Dillon Ripley of the Smithsonian Institution predicted in 1970 that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals would be extinct. That is, 75 and 80 percent of all species of animals alive in 1970 would be extinct by 1995. Fortunately, Ripley was wrong then and it is likely that the IPBES is wrong now.”

But by all means, we must adopt the ecofascists’ solutions or we stand accused of wanting one million species to die.  ~The Patriot Post

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ A former intelligence analyst and Afghanistan veteran has been charged with leaking classified information to the media... Daniel Everette Hale, 31, of Nashville, Tenn., was arrested on federal charges Thursday. The reporter that Hale leaked this information to is not named in the indictment, but the charging document identifies him as Jeremy Scahill of the Intercept, an outspoken critic of America’s military activities overseas. Hale "printed off a series of Secret and Top Secret documents through his position with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, many of which he then provided to the reporter." The day that Hale is alleged to have met with the reporter at the reporter’s bookstore event, April 29, 2013, is the same day Scahill held a discussion and signing for his book Dirty Wars at Busboys and Poets in Washington, D.C. The indictment states that in May 2013 Hale said the reporter “wants me to tell my story about working with drones at the opening screening of his documentary about the war and the use of drones." Scahill’s book accompanied a 2013 documentary of the same name that was critical of secretive U.S. military operations, including drone warfare. The indictment states that Hale again met the reporter at another book event on June 8, 2013 — the same day Scahill was hosted at Busboys & Poets for another discussion about Dirty Wars. The indictment states that many of the classified documents were disclosed in an October 2015 news article. On Oct.15, 2015, Scahill published an article on the Intercept entitled “The Assassination Complex” and cited “a cache of secret slides that provides a window into the inner workings of the U.S. military’s kill/capture operations at a key time in the evolution of the drone wars.”...

{ nationalreview.com } ~ As Congressional Democrats prepare to hold attorney general William Barr in contempt over his supposed lack of transparency... it’s worth remembering that he has made available to top Democrats the entirety of volume II of the dirty cop-Mueller report, save for two full and seven partial lines, which were redacted to protect grand jury secrecy in keeping with federal law.  In order to provide  lawmakers with greater transparency into special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s investigation, the Department of Justice placed a less-redacted version of his report in a secure room on Capitol Hill, and granted access to that room to congressional leaders of both parties, as well as the chairmen and ranking members of intelligence and judiciary committees in the House and Senate. As of this writing, not one of the six Democrats granted access to what amounts to 99.9 percent of volume II of the dirty cop-Mueller report, which details the president’s behavior as it relates to obstruction of justice, have taken the opportunity to examine it. If they had, they could have viewed the entirety of dirty cop-Mueller’s obstruction case against Trump except for the following seven redactions, two of which are applied to footnotes. In response to Barr’s offer, Congressional Democrats have said that the full report should be made available to all lawmakers and have argued that outcome will become less likely if top congressmen view the less-redacted version. “Every member of Congress ought to be able to see that version,” Mark Warner, ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, told our own John McCormack. “I think if I were to go, you’d lessen the case.” But Democratic leaders are not asking for “that version,” which retains its grand jury redactions; they are asking, and subpoenaed for, a fully unredacted report and all of the millions of pages of underlying documentary evidence, which relate to 22 ongoing criminal investigations... These dems are full of BS. AG Ball is totally  transparent and to the rule of law.

{ westernjournal.com } ~ As a candidate for president, Donald Trump brought up China so many times it became a running meme … and now that he’s in the White House... his administration seems to be following through on his promises to apply pressure against the Asian superpower. A lucrative arrangement for China which was inked during the scumbag/liar-nObama era has now been dismantled, after the Trump administration raised red flags over the prospect of the Chinese government controlling a U.S. port. According to the South China Morning Post, the major issue is that Orient Overseas International — a company controlled by the Chinese government via a company called Cosco — owned the Long Beach Container Terminal in California. The Cosco shipping company is based out of Shanghai and is not to be confused with the U.S. wholesaler Costco. This means that a major U.S. port was potentially under Beijing’s thumb — a situation that caused alarm bells to go off in Washington. The 2017 sale of Orient Overseas International to Cosco “raised a red flag with US security agencies, which were unhappy with the idea of a state-owned firm taking indirect ownership of a major port. Cosco now owns 75 per cent of OOIL,” explained The Morning Post. As a result, the Department of Homeland Security stepped in and pushed the Chinese conglomerate to sell the massive shipping terminal in California to “a suitable, unrelated third party” not controlled by China. On Tuesday, that buyer was revealed as Macquarie Infrastructure Partners, which is based in Australia. That means that China-controlled Orient Overseas’ 40-year lease signed during the scumbag/liar-nObama administration has been effectively torn up. “The scumbag/liar-nObama administration had no problems with OOCL signing a 40-year lease with the City of Long Beach in 2012 for control of America’s second largest and most automated container handling operation,”  American Thinker pointed out on Tuesday...   https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/trump-breaks-obamas-40-year-lease-chinese-boots-us-shipping-hub/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=conservative-brief-CT&utm_campaign=dailyam&utm_content=conservative-tribune

Jordan Candler:  A conciliatory CNN report this week touches on the issue of so-called “climate anxiety,” which apparently is becoming widespread. The first paragraph of the report introduces a Willamette University student who “woke at 2 a.m. and then cried for two solid hours about the warming ocean.” That student’s climate professor, Wendy Petersen Boring, asserts, “Back in 2007, [climate change] was the mouse in the room; then, it became the elephant in the room. By 2016, those concerns and fears began to flood over.”
 

The report goes on to cite a 69-page American Psychological Association/ecoAmerica climate guide  published in March 2017 that tenders ways to ameliorate the effects of environmental anxiety. According to the guide, “This … report is intended to further inform and empower health and medical professionals, community and elected leaders, and the public.”

CNN fans the flames by claiming, “Higher temperatures alone have led to more suicides and increased psychiatric hospitalization and have hurt our sleep, which can also harm mental health. These problems will get worse as the temperature continues to rise, research shows.” With statements like that, it’s little wonder students think the sky is falling.

Fact check: It’s not. As veteran meteorologist Joe Bastardi has pointed out time and again, our standard of living and gross domestic product on a global scale has never been better because of fossil fuels. Taking those away hastily is a recipe for disaster.

Of course, not everyone is victimized by “climate anxiety.” In March, Gallup reported that 66% of Americans are convinced global warming is man-made. That said, “Fewer than half of Americans — 45% — think global warming will pose a serious threat in their own lifetime and 44% say they worry a great deal about it. Another 21% worry a fair amount about global warming, while about a third (35%) worry only a little or not at all.”

But even that worry seems to become less so come voting time. After every election, climate change as a preeminent issue ends up ranking fairly low among voters. It’s good that at least some people get their priorities straight before casting their votes.

Which bring us to the final point. Tellingly, Gallup also reports, “In terms of demographic differences, there is a 20-percentage-point spread between the youngest and oldest Americans in those classified as Concerned Believers: 67% of those 18 to 29 vs. 47% of those 65 and older. Additionally, only 7% of young adults meet the definition of Cool Skeptics, compared with 22% of seniors.”

Younger generations are more prone to believe climate-change alarmism thanks to our modern-day leftist education complex. Older generations, on the other hand, have lived long enough to know that a plethora of climate doomsday scenarios haven’tunfolded. Propaganda and pollaganda are powerful tools. And for that, we should all be extremely anxious for our future.  ~The Patriot Post
