House Democrats Try to Block 
Withdrawal From Climate Pact

{ dailysignal.com } ~ The Democrat-controlled House is set to vote this week on a measure to keep the United States in the scumbag/liar-nObama-era Paris climate agreement, from which President Donald Trump withdrew in June 2017... within six months of becoming president. HR 9, the Climate Action Now Act, would block federal funds from being used to exit the agreement that the scumbag/liar-nObama administration had a major hand in crafting. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Kathy Castor, D-Fla., chairwoman of the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis.  But another member of the select committee, Rep. Carol Miller, R-W.Va., proposes an amendment on the basis that the Paris Agreement harms the economy of her coal-producing state, The Daily Signal has confirmed. Miller’s amendment to the Castor bill highlights the shortfalls of the United Nations accord to fight climate change, noting it does not account for the United States’ abundance of natural resources and the hundreds of thousands of Americans employed by the fossil fuels industry. The amendment also expresses support for affordable, reliable energy, including coal, and its importance to the U.S. economy and national security. Miller’s amendment is unlikely to pass, just as the Castor bill itself likely will die even if the House OKs it, because Republicans control the Senate. But the legislative battle indicates how House Democrats have prioritized climate change as an issue. Because full U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement won’t be complete until 2020, the Castor bill seeks to block federal funds from being used to achieve the exit...

California Plan To Prevent Wildfires Includes 
Shutting Off 5 Million Americans’ Power

{ westernjournal.com } ~ PG&E, California’s largest utility, is considering shutting off power to as much as an eighth of Californians during times of high fire danger... The Wall Street Journal reports. PG&E’s service area covers 5.4 million people in fire-prone regions. The utility may initiate a blackout to keep its electric lines sparking and starting fires during high winds. The plan is tacit acknowledgement that the utility cannot always fulfill its mission of providing electricity safely and reliably, according to The Journal.  The utility is “essentially shifting all of the burden, all of the losses onto everyone else,” Dylan Feik, the former city manager of Calistoga, California, told The Journal. No U.S. utility has ever intentionally cut services to such a wide swath of people. A blackout could cost the utility’s customers a significant amount financially, as well as endangering many, such as senior citizens who are dependent on electrical medical devices. PG&E said that it may keep a blackout in place for as long as five days. Households and grocery stores that store perishable goods may lose a substantial amount of food and other products. Utilities across California are reshaping the state’s electricity market. PG&E declared  bankruptcy in January and shed more than $40 billion worth of contracts, largely with green energy companies, to help get the business on secure financial footing. The company’s financial turmoil may have lasting effects on California’s grid as well as impede the state’s goal of becoming 100-percent green energy reliant by 2045... Its time to move out of Calif.

Ex-CIA agent: Indictments coming for 
officials who tried 'coup' against Trump

by wnd.com:  A former CIA officer is warning that scumbag/liar-nObama administration officials who attempted a “coup” against President Trump, through the Russia investigation will soon face criminal charges... And he fears the left’s response will include violence. CIA whistleblower Kevin Shipp was interviewed by Greg Hunter on his USAWatchdog site. Shipp addressed the claims made in an opposition research document, the Steele “dossier,” that was funded by the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 president race. It made wild and claims about President Trump, and was used as evidence by the scumbag/liar-nObama administration to spy on the Trump campaign. American taxpayers spent some $35 million on the investigation by special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller, who concluded there was no collusion by the Trump campaign. Now, FBI Director William Barr has promised to review the origins of the probe. He told Congress he believes the scumbag/liar-nObama administration spied on the Trump campaign. “There will be arrests and indictments without question. … This was a coup,” Shipp said. “It was a conspiracy. It was criminal activity. These people need to be indicted, charged and need to be put in prison, and if they’re not, then our Constitution is nothing more than a sham.”... scumbag/liar-Hillary should also be arrested and indictments charges

Poor Friendless Erdoğan
by Burak Bekdil
{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ "World leaders hail Erdoğan on local vote win," the news headline ran, referring to the outcome of Turkey's local elections on March 31... They laboriously ignored that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's Islamist AKP party lost in all of Turkey's three biggest cities -- and for the first time in 25 years in Ankara and Istanbul. They were nevertheless able to find one element to hail regarding Turkey's strongman. But, "world leaders?" Here is the full list: Russia's President Vladimir Putin, Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, tripartite Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Chairman Milorad Dodik, former Bosniak member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Bakir Izetbegovic, Guinean President Alpha Conde, and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama. Those gentlemen are "world leaders," according to Erdoğan's propaganda machinery. In reality, with the exception of Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Venezuela's troubled man, Nicolás Maduro, Erdoğan is increasingly friendless. The United States is preparing to sanction Turkey because of Ankara's rigid quest to acquire a Russian-made long-range air and anti-missile defense system. When delivered -- scheduled for late this summer -- Turkey will become the first NATO country to deploy Russian S-400 surface-to-air missile system on its soil. The sanctions, through the Countering America's Adversaries Through the Sanctions Act (CAATSA) may include expelling Turkey's defense industry manufacturers from the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program, a move that could damage Turkey by $10 billion in lost business. Washington may also sanction senior Turkish officials involved in the S-400 deal and suspend shipments of critical military gear to Turkey, all of which, when combined, could have a multiplier effect if other Western countries join the sanctions campaign...

{ apnews.com } ~ Anti-government demonstrators clashed with troops loyal to Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro at an air base in the capital hours... after opposition leader Juan Guaidó took to the streets in a bold and risky attempt to lead a military uprising against the embattled socialist. The early-morning rebellion seems to have only limited military support. But it was by far the most-serious challenge yet to Maduro’s rule since Guaidó, with the backing of the U.S. and dozens of other countries, declared himself the country’s interim president in January in rejection of a government he accused of stealing last year’s presidential election. The dramatic events began early Tuesday when Guaidó, flanked by a few dozen national guardsmen and some armored crowd control vehicles, released a three-minute video filmed near a Caracas air base in which he called on civilians and others in the armed forces to join a final push to topple Maduro.In a surprise, standing alongside him was Leopoldo Lopez, his political mentor and the nation’s most-prominent opposition activist, who has largely been silent and unseen since he was detained in 2014 for leading a previous round of anti-government unrest. Lopez said he had been released from house arrest by security forces adhering to an order from Guaidó...  https://apnews.com/0153cace08c84c8fbf34f9c6a7bdd4dd

New Study on GND Effects: 'Barely Distinguishable
From Zero'
sZ9pUt3Y3ZauEq9Sxv4A8qA332w5qfqOdX9sjduEnddl37t5xzSEey9JET_vpKoVYT9s6PVl-jqfdDkNZAsHoOD9rOk0Q2L38rkupDABnPiwgx26q5LTaIhpgLKcLh5NgvROJy_df1Lli8Pmq_zz11plXRBN3uPGpIS_NSc=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Jordan Candler:  In a column for The Patriot Post in August of 2015, meteorologist and climate analyst Joe Bastardi asked, “All This for .01 Degrees Celsius?” in reference to Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s scheme “to reduce greenhouse gases to save us from an apocalyptic atmosphere.” Bastardi’s point was to show that scumbag/liar-nObama’s carbon-emissions-reduction methods would accomplish virtually nothing. But don’t take his word for it. He cited former EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, who at the time “admitted that the steps being taken would only prevent .01 degrees Celsius of warming, but it was the example that counted for the rest of the world.”

The Green New Deal is no different — both in terms of its bloviators and its influence.

According to the American Enterprise Institute’s Benjamin Zycher, the Left’s newest climate and socioeconomic monstrosity would similarly accomplish nothing — except to promote socialism. “Notwithstanding the assertions from GND proponents that it is an essential policy to confront purportedly adverse climate phenomena,” he writes, “the future temperature impacts of the zero-emissions objective would be barely distinguishable from zero: 0.173°C by 2100, under the maximum Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change parameter (equilibrium climate sensitivity) about the effects of reduced GHG emissions.” He adds, “Under an assumption consistent with the findings reported in the recent peer-reviewed literature, the effect would be 0.083°C by 2100.”

Coming back full circle to Gina McCarthy’s ultimate objective, The Daily Wire’s Emily Zanotti says, “Green New Deal proponents, including Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), have long claimed that the GND … would be worth it if it such extreme measures would in the long run lessen our impact on climate.” Yet Zycher reports that “the annual economic cost of the GND would be about $9 trillion.” That’s a whole lot of nothing for a “deal” that will cost the economy $9 trillion annually and not really lessen our impact on climate.

Whether it’s the Clean Power Plan, Paris Climate Accord, or Green New Deal, the Left believes that spending oodles of money will solve the “problem” (whatever that is), even though some of them have conceded that temperatures won’t really change all that much. As Zycher summarily puts it, “The GND’s real goal is wealth redistribution to favored political interests under the GND social-policy agenda and a dramatic increase in government control of resource allocation more generally.”

Media Editors:  MEDIA EXPLOITS ITS OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE: “In a previously unreported letter obtained by The Washington Post, dirty cop-Robert Mueller complained to Attorney General William Barr about his summary of the special counsel’s over 400-page final report because ‘it did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office’s work and conclusions,’” The Daily Wire reports. “But in a follow-up call between Barr and dirty cop-Mueller, the special counsel admitted that Barr’s summary was not ‘inaccurate,’ the Post reports; rather, dirty cop-Mueller just felt ‘that the media coverage of the letter was misinterpreting the investigation.’” Meanwhile, the attorney general’s congressional testimony is underway today in the Senate.

INFRASTRUCTURE’S EYE-POPPING PRICE TAG: According to the Associated Press, “President Donald Trump and Democratic congressional leaders agreed Tuesday to work together on a $2 trillion infrastructure package — but put off for later the difficult question of how to pay for it.” House Speaker Nancy Pulosi stated, “We did come to one agreement: that the agreement would be big and bold.” Erick Erickson observes, “Dems can’t fund a $5 billion wall, but can spend $2 trillion naming roads after themselves.”

VENEZUELA OPPOSITION TRIES AGAIN: Via The Washington Post: “Opposition leader Juan Guaidó called on Venezuelans to join a massive anti-government demonstration on Wednesday as he tried to regain momentum following a largely unsuccessful effort to rally the military to his side and oust the country’s authoritarian government. … While the head of Venezuela’s domestic intelligence, Maj. Gen. Manuel Ricardo Cristopher Figuera, broke with [dictator Nicolás] Maduro, military leaders stayed loyal to him. Guaidó’s appeal to the military on Tuesday appeared to draw only a small number of soldiers to his side.” Government forces even resorted to running down protesters with armored vehicles.

FBI SCRUTINIZES ANTIFA: “The FBI has been collecting information on Americans who have been helping the migrant caravans heading to the US-Mexico border, and is now investigating an alleged plot by ‘anti-fascist activists’ to purchase weapons from a Mexican drug cartel,” The Daily Wire reports. The revelation coincided with CNN’s Chris Cuomo christening antifa “a good cause” earlier this week.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS A LUCRATIVE BUSINESS:  “RAND researchers [have found] that drug trafficking-centric transnational cartels ‘control primary smuggling corridors into the United States’ and estimate that the total ‘revenues to all types of smugglers, not just [transnational cartels], from smuggling migrants from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, combined, ranged from about $200 million to about $2.3 billion in 2017.’ In other words, cartels and trafficking rings earned as much as $2.3 billion from human smuggling just in the year 2017.” (The Daily Wire)

ANTI-SEMITISM IN AMERICA: “Anti-Semitic assaults more than doubled, and the U.S. Jewish community experienced "near-historic levels” of anti-Semitism in 2018, according to a report released Tuesday by the Anti-Defamation League. … Last year was the third-highest year on record for attacks against Jews and Jewish institutions since the ADL, an international Jewish non-governmental organization, began tracking such data in the 1970s. The ADL’s annual Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents recorded 1,879 attacks against Jews and Jewish institutions across the U.S. in 2018, representing a 5 percent decline from the 1,986 incidents recorded in 2017. Nevertheless, the number of anti-Semitic incidents in 2018 still remained 48 percent higher than in 2016 and 99 percent higher than in 2015.“ (Fox News)

DEEP-STATE UNMASKING: "The National Security Agency (NSA) disclosed the identities of nearly 17,000 U.S. residents and businesses to American intelligence officials last year through a legal — but controversial — practice known as ‘unmasking,’ according to a report released Tuesday. The number of unmaskings — 16,721 to be exact — marks a 75 percent increase from 2017, which saw the NSA make 9,529 disclosures to intelligence agencies. … The unmasking process has become controversial over the past two years. Republicans have alleged that scumbag/liar-nObama administration officials abused foreign surveillance laws by making unnecessary unmasking requests of Trump associates during the 2016 presidential campaign, as well as during the presidential transition period.” (The Daily Caller)

His attorneys saw that as a violation of the 1994 Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act.” (Government Executive)

scumbag-Schumer says Trump agreed to $2T infrastructure package at White House meeting
by Alex Pappas  

{ foxnews.com } ~ Senate Democratic Leader Chuck scumbag-Schumer said Tuesday that President Trump agreed to support a $2 trillion infrastructure spending package... after meeting with him and other Democrats at the White House, though the details are not yet clear. The president – a real estate developer before he was elected president – has long sought to strike a big infrastructure deal, but has faced some resistance from conservatives in his party over concerns about the country’s rising debt. Democratic leaders, speaking to reporters outside the White House after meeting with Trump, called the meeting constructive. “We agreed on a number – which was very, very good. Two trillion dollars for infrastructure. Originally, we started a little lower. Even the president was eager to push it up to two trillion dollars,” scumbag-Schumer said. The White House, in a written statement on the meeting, did not mention a dollar figure but called the session "excellent and productive." "The United States has not come even close to properly investing in infrastructure for many years, foolishly prioritizing the interests of other countries over our own. We have to invest in this country’s future and bring our infrastructure to a level better than it has ever been before," the White House said, adding that the group would meet again in three weeks "to discuss specific proposals and financing methods." House Speaker Nancy Pulosi said there were no decisions on how to pay for the plan. “We agreed that we would meet again to talk about how it would be paid for,” she said... Where's the funding for the Wall.

{americanthinker.com} ~ Allan Josephson, M.D., is one of the nation’s top child and adolescent psychiatrists. So why was he just fired by the University of Louisville?.. It started when Dr. Josephson spoke at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., where he expressed his concern as a medical professional over what is becoming common treatment for children with gender dysphoria -- puberty blockers, hormones, multiple surgeries. He disputed the notion that gender identity “should trump chromosomes, hormones, internal reproductive organs, external genitalia, and secondary sex characteristics," calling it “counter to medical science." In today’s political climate, however, it is considered unacceptable to offer anything other than complete affirmation of a child’s claimed transgender identity. To ideologues, it does not matter that for nearly fifteen years Dr. Josephson headed up the University of Louisville’s Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology Division, leading it to national prominence. It does not matter that he provided such outstanding leadership that he was awarded perfect marks in his 2014, 2015, and 2016 annual reviews. All that matters is that he committed a sin against the dictates of political correctness. The university first demoted Dr. Josephson and then, a few months later, terminated him. Dr. Josephson is suing the university for violating his constitutional right to freedom of speech.  But if the deceptively named Equality Act passes, this man of science won’t stand a chance. And neither will anyone else who does not pledge allegiance to the state-sanctioned sexual ideology...

by Ben Weingarten  
{ thefederalist.com } ~ Freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has distinguished herself with often offensive, outrageous, and unpatriotic rhetoric... One week she invokes classic anti-Jewish tropes. The next she trivializes the September 11 jihadist attacks. Another it is unearthed that she espouses morally relativistic if not overtly anti-American views about U.S. soldiers, the very ones who fought to defend civilians in her native Somalia to boot. Omar’s penchant for provoking millions of Americans with odious words has masked the related, equally if not more troubling, elements of her associations, ideology, and background. Consider, for example, the revelation, largely unnoticed outside of conservative media, that as a Minnesota Assemblywoman Omar had a closed-press meeting in fall 2017 with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. According to a curiously now-deleted article from the local Somalian-language periodical in her district, the Tusmo Times, she and the Islamist authoritarian president met during his U.N. General Assembly visit to New York. Per one account, they  discussed: “issues involving Omar’s native Somalia and issues for Somalis in Minnesota. She Omar thanked Erdogan for Turkey’s support for the Rohingya people in Myanmar. The two also discussed investment and trade between Turkey and Somalia. The meeting ended with Erdogan asking Omar to voice her support for Turkey. The report concludes by adding that Omar not only met with Erdogan, but also with the Turkish prime minister and other senior Turkish officials.” A political-media establishment frenzied over foreign influence might ask many questions about this meeting, such as: Why did a state lawmaker have it? Was it appropriate for her to be discussing Turkish-Somali relations as an American representative? On whose behalf was she speaking? Did anyone bless this meeting at the federal level, and on what grounds? Did Omar have any reservations about meeting with President Erdogan given the totalitarian, bellicose, and bigoted nature of his regime? What do Omar’s Democratic colleagues at the national level make of this meeting?... She needs to be confront by the FBI and CIA.

{americanthinker.com} ~ Saturday night’s White House Correspondents dinner once again came and went without most Americans having paid it any serious attention, and for the third straight year, our president chose to miss this increasingly farcical event... where journalists pat each other on the back for the fine jobs they believe themselves to be doing. What made this year’s event a little different than years past is that none of the other senior members of the White House staff attended, either. “That decision came after Sarah Huckabee Sanders endured cruel taunts at the hands of last year’s featured speaker, comedian Michelle Wolf,” Emily Zanotti reports at The Daily Wire. “Despite a longstanding tradition of good-natured ribbing between the press and the president, through dueling speeches, the White House simply stopped RSVPing to the event.” Without the luxury of roasting their political enemies in attendance to feign a comedic tone rather than a purely adversarial one, the organizers of the event dropped the façade of humor in favor of a “funerary tone” led by a historian rather than the traditional choice of a comedian. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that the event offered anything short of bad comedy.

Standing Up for Chick-fil-A

{ city-journal.org } ~ San Antonio, a predominantly Hispanic city named for a Catholic saint, has persisted in its crusade against the popular fast-food chain Chick-fil-A. In reaction to the conservative religious beliefs of its owners, the city council has barred Chick-fil-A from operating at San Antonio’s airport. So far, advocates against the restaurant have the upper hand, though that could soon change. Voters will soon have an opportunity to weigh in on the controversy in a local election.

Last month, the San Antonio City Council voted to exclude the privately owned company as a concessionaire at the city-operated airport on the grounds that its owners’ opposition to same-sex marriage—mainly expressed years ago, prior to the Obergefell decision—amounts to “a legacy of anti-LGBTQ behavior.” The company has no record of discrimination against employees or customers on the basis of sexual orientation; the objection is that disagreeing with a political agenda for religious reasons justifies a government boycott.

The city council’s action against Chick-fil-A was apparently prompted by a campaign led by activist group ThinkProgress, as punishment for the views of company founder Dan Cathey, a devout Christian. City councilman Roberto Trevino, who sponsored the motion to ban Chick-fil-A, boasted afterward that blacklisting a company for its owners’ religious beliefs “reaffirmed the work our city has done to become a champion of equality and inclusion.” Only in the Orwellian language that progressives often use could suppression and exclusion be celebrated as “equality and inclusion.”

But the left-leaning officials who spearheaded the boycott may have underestimated the backlash it would trigger in both the national media and among the city’s many religious residents. On May 4, San Antonio voters will elect a new mayor, and the election has become a proxy contest for the Chick-fil-A controversy. Incumbent mayor Ron Nirenberg, who supports the blacklisting, faces city councilman Greg Brockhouse, who wants to reverse it.

Barring Chick-fil-A from the San Antonio airport generated negative national publicity and drew the ire of the state’s Republican officials. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that he had opened an investigation regarding the decision, and Paxton also requested that the U.S. Department of Transportation look into the matter. Citing the First Amendment, Paxton statedthat he had “serious concerns” that religious liberties were “under assault at the San Antonio airport.” Paxton declared that “the city’s discriminatory decision is not only out of step with Texas values, but inconsistent with the Constitution and Texas law.” Texas Governor Greg Abbott added that “the ban has the stench of religious discrimination against Chick-fil-A.” Senator Ted Cruz joined in, calling the city council’s decision “ridiculous.”

Accordingly, when Brockhouse made a motion last week to reconsider the exclusion of Chick-fil-A, calling it a “defining moment” for the city, hopes were high that the city council would reverse itself. “I want to bring it back up because it’s the right thing to do. It’s the right thing for our community,” Brockhouse said. Dozens of business owners and pastors showed up at the city council hearing to express their support for the retraction, but they were not allowed to speak. The council rejected Brockhouse’s motion by a 6-5 vote. Councilwoman Shirley Gonzales stated that the decision on the airport concessions contract had been made; it was “time to move on.”

Nirenberg, a progressive who cast the deciding vote against reconsideration, accused Brockhouse of trying to exploit the issue for political gain. “To make up for his complete lack of vision for the future, Councilman Brockhouse is fixating on a fast food subcontract to try and pump up his personal political ambitions,” Nirenberg said. Brockhouse is certainly trying to leverage the issue in his campaign; he tried to set the vote on reconsideration for May 2, two days before the mayoral election. But to Nirenberg’s surprise, the controversy is emerging as a major issue in the race—and according to some reports, it has become the “defining issue.” Even the city’s liberal daily newspaper, the Express-News, opposes the boycott and favors reconsideration of the decision, calling the move to exclude Chick-fil-A a “slippery slope.”

The blacklisting of Chick-fil-A has provoked strong emotions in San Antonio. City councilman Clayton Perry supported the motion to reconsider because the discrimination against the restaurant is “the number one issue” among his constituents. Early voting is underway in the mayor’s race. We’ll know soon whether San Antonio voters share their city council’s contempt for traditional religious beliefs.

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Former Deputy National Security Advisor to President scumbag/liar-nObama, Ben Rhodes, says any investigation of prior administration... “will find nothing” that shows former President scumbag/liar-nObama or White House staff had any “involvement” in the origins of the surveillance of Trump campaign and Russia collusion investigation.Prior to March 9th, 2016, the scumbag/liar-nObama-era political surveillance and spy operations consisted of using the FBI and NSA database to track/monitor their opposition. However, once the NSA compliance officer began initiating an internal review of who was accessing the system, the CIA and FBI moved to create ex post facto justification for their endeavors. Everything after March 9, 2016, became a cover-story. Looking at White House engagement in the last half of 2016, The War Economy has done some excellent research on this period to contrast the reference of Ben Rhodes: […] On July 31, 2016, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, ran by Director scumbag-James Comey, opened an investigation into the Trump campaign titled “Crossfire Hurricane”, named after the Rolling Stones documentary of the same name. It focused on the actions of four members of the Trump campaign... Rhodes knew what was going on, he is lying and covering up.

{ freedomoutpost.com } ~ The elite are very “tolerant” of the homeless until they start showing up in their own neighborhoods... Even though the mainstream media keeps telling us that the U.S. economy is “booming”, the number of Americans living on the streets continues to grow very rapidly, and this is particularly true in our major west coast cities. More than half a million Americans will sleep on the streets of our cities tonight, and they need help, care and shelter. Sadly, as economic conditions deteriorate that number is likely to double or even triple. Of course, many among the elite are all in favor of doing something for the homeless, as long as they don’t have to be anywhere around them. For example, let’s talk about what is going on in Los Angeles. No city on the west coast has a bigger problem with homelessness than L.A. does, and many in the homeless population enjoy camping out on the beautiful beaches in the L.A. area at night. But of course, many of the elite that paid millions of dollars for beachfront property are not too thrilled about this. Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten was a key symbol of anti-establishment rebellion in the 1970s, but now he is freaking out because homeless people are making life very difficult for him and his wife in Venice Beach, and what he recently told Newsweek’s Paula Froelich is making headlines all over the nation…He told her the homeless situation in his swanky LA neighborhood is so bad that thieves are tearing the bars from the windows of his multimillion-dollar home, lobbing bricks, setting up unsightly tent cities and littering the beach with syringes. “A couple of weeks ago I had a problem,” the former punk prince opined. “They came over the gate and put their tent inside, right in front of the front door. It’s like . . . the audacity. And if you complain, what are you? Oh, one of the establishment elite? No, I’m a bloke that’s worked hard for his money and I expect to be able to use my own front door.”...What is the governor of Calif going to do about homeless. He needs to act now.

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Imagine if the New York Times cartoon that depicted Israel's Prime Minister as a dog had, instead, depicted the leader of another ethnic or gender group in a similar manner?... If you think that is hard to imagine, you are absolutely right. It would be inconceivable for a Times editor to have allowed the portrayal of a Muslim leader as a dog; or the leader of any other ethnic or gender group in so dehumanizing a manner. What is it, then, about Jews that allowed such a degrading cartoon about one of their leaders? One would think that in light of the history of the Holocaust, which is being commemorated this week, the last group that a mainstream newspaper would demonize by employing a caricature right out of the Nazi playbook, would be the Jews. But no. Only three-quarters of a century after Der Stürmer incentivized the mass murder of Jews by dehumanizing them, we see a revival of such bigoted caricatures. The New York Times should be especially sensitive to this issue, because they were on the wrong side of history when it came to reporting the Holocaust. They deliberately buried the story because their Jewish owners wanted to distance themselves from Jewish concerns. They were also on the wrong side of history when it came to the establishment of the nation-state of the Jewish people, following the Holocaust. When it comes to Jews and Israel, the New York Times is still on the wrong side of history. I am a strong believer in freedom of speech and the New York Times has a right to continue its biased reporting and editorializing. But despite my support for freedom of speech, I am attending a protest in front of the New York Times this afternoon to express my freedom of speech against how the New York Times has chosen to exercise its...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14165/what-if-the-new-york-times-cartoon-had-depicted

{ foxnews.com } ~ Former CIA Director scumbag/commie-John Brennan pushed back Friday on President Trump's charge that he knew about or participated in an attempt to overthrow the American government... "I don't think it's surprising at all that we continue to hear the sociopathic ramblings of Mr. Trump claiming that there was this effort to try to prevent him from being elected or to unseat him," he told MSNBC's Hallie Jackson. scumbag/commie-Brennan was reacting to comments Trump made during an interview with Sean Hannity on Thursday night. Trump specifically criticized scumbag/commie-Brennan, along with former Director of National Intelligence scumbag-James Clapper, former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey, and former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, in the fiery interview. His comments followed the release of Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's report which stopped short of accusing the president of either obstruction of justice or collusion with Russia. scumbag/commie-Brennan added he welcomed further investigation into his and other officials' conduct while they served in government. "I've testified in front of Congress ... Absolutely, I'll do it again," he said. scumbag/commie-Brennan also disputed Sen.

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, beset from all sides with criticism over his role in the probe of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential race, is resigning... Rosentstein submitted his resignation letter to President Trump on Monday, effective May 11, The Wall Street Journal reported. Rosenstein's designated successor, Jeffrey Rosen, a favorite of Attorney General William Barr, is awaiting a likely confirmation by the Senate. Rosenstein, 54, a former U.S. attorney in Maryland, played an unusually prominent role for the Justice Department second-in-command. He took over the probe when then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself due to his role in Trump's successful 2016 White House bid. Trump critics have throughout the administration had mixed feelings about Rosenstein's performance. He drew skepticism for writing the legal justification for firing FBI Director scumbag-James Comey, in May 2017. But in the ensuring months he also pushed back against efforts by the president to fire Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller, whom Rosenstein brought on to probe Russia-related allegations once scumbag-Comey was out the door. The dirty cop-Mueller report, issued earlier this month, cited several examples of Trump considering firing the independent prosecutor. Rosenstein, though, drew criticism from Democrats for handing over some documents to congressional Republicans, particularly when the GOP held the House majority...   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/rod-rosenstein-resigning-from-justice-department-post?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_04/29/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News&rid=5261

Second Coming

Tom McLaughlin
 
{ tommclaughlin.blogspot.com } ~ There are thousands of poets out there, maybe millions, but very few make any sense to me. It’s possible I’m not sensitive enough, or I’m not bright enough to understand what they’re trying to say. It’s also possible they’re trying too hard, or they’re too artsy and flamboyant. Robert Frost makes sense, but then he wrote of life in rural northern New England where I live. I understand him. Shel Silverstein makes sense. So does Emily Dickenson.  
Screen-Shot-2015-01-04-at-16.44.07.png
Among Irish poets, the only one I get is William Butler Yeats, and I happened to be in Sligo last month where he wanted his remains buried after he died back in the thirties. He was born in Dublin, raised there, and in England on and off, but his heart was in Sligo where he spent summers. His early poems were esoteric and seemed overly stylish, but his later stuff was much more resonant to my ear, especially The Second Coming. I knew of it from encountering so many of its lines quoted by other writers of both fiction and non-fiction — before I ever knew the words belonged to Yeats.  
TMC_3448.jpeg
Sligo last month  
 
I don’t know where or when I heard it initially, but the line that struck me first was:

The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
yeats.jpg
Who are the best these days? Who are the worst? Well, the best, I think, would be those who take a long view of the human condition. They know something of history — what has worked and what has failed over the centuries, over millennia even. They don’t know all of history; nobody does, but they perceive an outline of how we humans have behaved in times of plenty and in times of want. They understand what governmental systems have been applied and what resulted. Others who see only what’s in front of them — who know only what has occurred during the last few years of their own lifetime. They are the ones full of passionate intensity today, a century after Yeats studied their counterparts.

Do the best lack conviction? Maybe, or perhaps they have tried long to reason with the passionately and intensely ignorant with little result. Maybe they’ve given up trying to persuade and are saving their energy for when, as Yeats puts it:

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.
35bd7e12c7.gif
Yeats was born to English privilege. His ancestors were part of Ireland’s protestant ascendancy. He was classically educated but his loyalties were divided between his British colonial ancestors and the Celtic Irish among whom he lived, and to whom he related most. Ultimately, he sided with them against Ireland’s British overlords. He was an active participant in Irish Literary revival but stayed on the sidelines during the 1916 Easter Rebellion and ensuing struggle. He sympathized with the cause, but not with the violence used to gain independence.
Visit-Skellig-Michael-in-Ireland.jpg
Mostly agnostic, Yeats disdained Roman Catholicism but related to ancient Irish mysticism. While most Irish of his time were comfortable with a blend of the two, Yeats was not. He related much more to pre-Christian Gaelic culture and that influenced his poetry. The Great War had just ended when he published The Second Coming in 1919, exactly 100 years ago. The 1916 Rebellion was followed by the Irish Civil War waged until 1922 with the Russian Revolution in the middle of all that as well. Things were indeed falling apart in Yeats’ world.  
YeatsGonne.jpg
The great love of Yeats’ life, the actress Maude Gonne, was caught up in both Catholicism and violent rebellion against the British. Yeats proposed to her four times and was rejected four times. She instead married Irish Revolutionary John McBride who was executed by the British after she divorced him, but Yeats carried a torch forever after. He had love affairs and a marriage that produced children, but his personal life was as confused as his theology.  
hqdefault-1.jpg
The Second Coming is apocalyptic but vague. He evokes Christian imagery but blends it with ominous images of The Sphinx. Rather than a triumphant return of Jesus Christ, Yeats sees something menacing:

The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with Lion body and the head of a man…

…And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
beast.jpg
Both Christians and secularists today point to signs of an approaching apocalypse, but Yeats had much more reason to suspect it: World War I, violent rebellions in Ireland and Russia, the Spanish Flu killing tens of millions — all that was happening as he wrote The Second Coming. 2019 seems placid compared to 1919.

{ dailycaller.com } ~ GOP Senator Lindsey Graham countered Fox News analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano’s interpretation of whether or not President Donald Trump committed obstruction of justice... directly after Napolitano’s Monday night Fox News appearance. Appearing before Graham on “The Story with Martha MacCallum,” Napolitano had argued that any attempt “to interfere with the government” is illegal, even if that attempt amounted to nothing.“If your purpose is to interfere with the government in order to save yourself, not to help the government, then you have committed the crime of obstruction,” he said. “My best to Senator Graham,” Napolitano said as the camera switched to the senator before the commercial break. Graham started his conversation with MacCallum by answering a question about the judge’s argument...

{spectator.org} ~ The dirty cop-Mueller report is in, and one thing couldn’t be clearer: dirty cop-Mueller’s team, despite its best or worst efforts, found no evidence Donald Trump or anyone on his campaign team colluded... with Russia to undermine the 2016 U.S. election. Despite dirty cop-Mueller’s clear conclusion on this point, Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren (D-MA) — who, not coincidentally, is running to be her party’s presidential nominee — and Rep. scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler (D-NY) continue to lead an inane crusade to nail Trump for imagined crimes. However, if dinky-Warren and scumbag liar-Nadler are truly worried about efforts to further Russian interests at the expense of the United States, they should look closer to home for active co-conspirators. For example, Democratic politicians from their home states of Massachusetts and New York, although likely not colluding with Russia, are directly promoting policies that further Russian President Vladimir Putin’s interests — and all at the expense of the United States. Massachusetts and New York have declared war on domestic production and transportation of fossil fuels. Many Democrats in those states have made it clear they would rather import fuel sources from Mother Russia than from the United States. Lawmakers in Massachusetts and New York have blocked construction of critical pipelines to carry U.S. natural gas to and through their states. New York has even banned fracking to produce domestic natural gas. These policies have prevented the creation of thousands of jobs related to construction and oil and gas production in their states, increased energy costs for their residents, reduced local and state revenues, and increased air pollution — benefiting, directly or indirectly, Russia’s government...

{spectator.org} ~ Now that the Russian collusion hoax has been debunked, and not even the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton acolytes who comprised Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s office saw fit to charge the president with obstruction of justice... the party is about to get very rough for the FBI, Justice Department, and CIA leaders who concocted the hoax and who illegally spied on American citizens. On April 10, 2019, Attorney General William Barr testified before the Senate Appropriations Committee that Donald Trump’s presidential campaign had been spied upon by U.S. intelligence agencies. According to Barr, the “question was whether it, the spying was adequately predicated.” Barr was careful to state explicitly that he had made no determination as to whether there was an adequate justification for the spying, but that he was going to investigate to resolve the issue. Clearly Barr was talking about the eponymous and unverified Steele dossier which was used by the FBI and Justice Department to obtain FISA warrants to intercept the communications of Trump campaign associate Carter Page and, by extension, everyone in or out of the Trump campaign with whom he communicated. Predictably Barr’s testimony resulted in a tidal wave of apoplectic outrage by Democrats and their media adjunct. Some denounced Barr as a shill for Trump while others called for his impeachment. Now it appears that Barr was only hinting at the enormity of what is actually being investigated. Joseph diGenova is the former U. S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and a former legal counsel to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. He has also been a frequent commentator on Fox News and Washington’s WMAL Radio. Throughout the Trump-Russia collusion fiasco and Team dirty cop-Mueller’s investigation of the president, diGenova has proven to be a reliable source of information as to what was happening behind the scenes. His pronouncements and predictions have consistently proven to be true. On April 24, 2019, diGenova appeared on the Ingraham Angle and made his most explosive predictions yet.

USS Stethem (DDG-63) and USS William P. Lawrence (DDG-110) passed through the 110-mile-wide strait in an overnight transit. “The ships’ transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. The U.S. Navy will continue to fly, sail and operate anywhere international law allows,” Cmdr. Clay Doss, a U.S. 7th Fleet spokesman, told USNI News in a Monday statement. U.S. officials said that Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) interactions with the two destroyers were “safe and professional.” Chinese Foreign Minister Geng Shuang told reporters Monday that Beijing had paid “close attention” to the transit. “The Taiwan issue is the most important and sensitive issue in Sino-U.S. relations,” Geng said, according to The Japan Times...

{ news.usni.org } ~ The Navy released a draft request for proposals for its Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicle as the Office of Naval Research continues to prove out the autonomous control system on a first test ship... The MUSV program – whose role in future fleet operations continues to grow as the Navy looks to become more distributed and more reliant on unmanned ships and planes to supplement manned ones – began as a DARPA research initiative and moved to ONR in January 2018. Robert Brizzolara, the MUSV program manager, told USNI News on April 25 at the Defense Department’s annual Lab Day at the Pentagon that ONR has been focused on building an extensive body of evidence to prove to the fleet the reliability of the MUSV hull and the autonomous control system that lets it sense its way through the seas. Brizzolara said the 132-foot hull has good range and endurance, good sea keeping and an impressive payload capacity due to its size. With no crew requiring berthing, plumbing and other needs, the ship can save on space and weight – and therefore cost. “The combination of no people onboard and lower cost means that a commanding officer, when it becomes an operational asset, could put it in much more hazardous areas and he or she could take more risks with it,” he said. “And if they had enough of them, they could be willing to lose some, and they wouldn’t care because they’re cheap and there’s no people on them. So that’s the benefit.”...

Florida Legislature Votes to End 
Sanctuary Cities
SsglPwfcqJAmxvLqsayxqJgOE12P0_8Gof2zKiKaWVXVKGarFfUsekoWv9x9I5hCDcszJomA_tRg2gGlwCrHHJix1pDXQGexuNs65zOOlBSU48suAmr8o2x4gd3l5oqQpDFQEhyL-llJPy3tKqJCbWceywcBjZpOG7Vkw7M=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Arnold Ahlert:  The Florida state legislature has taken a stand against the American Left’s penchant for selective law enforcement. Last Wednesday, the GOP-controlled House passed a bill banning so-called sanctuary cities that harbor illegal aliens and refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. The vote was 69-47 along party lines. On Friday, the state Senate passed its version of the ban by a 22-18 margin. Negotiations between the House and Senate will now commence until an identical bill can be sent to Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis for his signature.
 

Barring major changes, the law prohibits local governments from ignoring detainer requests from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and requires them to hold suspected illegals in jail until the feds can take them into custody. A failure to do so could precipitate fines of up to $5,000 per day. The House version of the bill would also allow lawsuits to be filed against local governments for personal injuries or wrongful deaths tied to sanctuary policies, and suspend or remove government employees or elected officials who refuse to enforce immigration laws.

That very welcome part of the statute stands in stark contrast to the immunity that shields many sanctuary-city officials, most recently upheld by a three-judge panel of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. That panel  refused to allow the family of Kate Steinle to sue the city of San Francisco after their daughter was killed by Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, a seven-time convicted felon who had been deported five times. Despite ICE’s request for a detainer, former San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi released Zarate, who was ultimately convicted of a firearms charge, but acquitted of murdering Steinle. Following that stunning verdict, Ellen Canale, a spokeswoman for Mayor Ed Lee, made it clear the death of an innocent citizen at the hands of an illegal alien felon wouldn’t alter the status quo one iota. “San Francisco is and always will be a sanctuary city,” she asserted.

Florida is on the verge of preventing similar outrages and, unsurprisingly, Democrats and their leftists allies are apoplectic. Prior to the bill’s passage there were protests staged at the Capitol, and district offices were besieged by sit-ins. The ACLU issued a “Florida Travel Alert,” warning that “Florida residents, citizens and non-citizens, and travelers could face risks of being racially profiled and being detained without probable cause.”

Or, illegal aliens who have no business being in Florida could be detained, prosecuted, and ultimately deported in accordance with federal immigration law.

The Left also played the economics card. The American Business Immigration Coalition sent a letter to the state’s elected officials declaring that “anti-immigrant” legislation will “inflict long-lasting damage to the state of Florida” to the tune of “an annual loss of $121.4M in taxes and $3.5B in GDP, threatening the economic prosperity and safety of all Floridians.”

The letter also trotted out the same tiresome talking points the Left has long used to justify wholesale law-breaking. It stated that the bill “gives traffickers another tool to terrorize and enslave their victims,” that the agricultural industry will be “devastated,” and that both the “documented and undocumented are less likely to commit a crime than native-born citizens.”

Traffickers can only “enslave” those willing to sneak across the border, which remains wide open because a purposefully do-nothing Congress beholden to the globalist agenda allows it — and because the hundreds of sanctuary cities across the nation further incentivize that contemptible reality. That the state’s agricultural industry that would be “devastated” without illegal workers is an argument eerily similar to the onemade by pre-Civil War southern plantation owners who claimed to need slave labor to remain economically viable. And if there’s a more bankrupt argument than the insidious notion that Americans should abide a “reasonable” number of wholly avoidable crimes — including murder and rape — solely to accommodate leftist desires to “fundamentally transform” America, one is hard-pressed to imagine what it is.

Yet another propaganda point was disseminated by The Washington Post. “While the definition of sanctuary cities varies, most analysts say Florida does not have any,” the paper asserts.

If that’s the case, then this bill won’t pose any problem.

But that’s not the case, and no one made that clearer than Miami Police Chief Jorge Colina, who told a Spanish-language radio station that he’d rather be thrown out of the police department than follow the proposed law. “I don’t care if you have papers or don’t have papers, where you came from, or who your parents are,” Colina said. “That’s not my job. My job is to make sure everyone in this city is safe.”

No, a police chief’s job is to enforce the Rule of Law — period. Perhaps Gov. DeSantis, who has already  successfully suspended Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel for his colossal failure of leadership in the Parkland atrocity, will address Colina’s defiance — along with that of every other similarly recalcitrant law-enforcement official — in a similarly no-nonsense manner.

Neptune Beach Republican Cord Byrd, who sponsored the House initiative, spoke to the real issues in play here. “We are more than just a job center. We are a nation of citizens governed by law,” he said. Sen. Joe Gruters, sponsor of the Senate legislation and chairman of the Florida Republican Party, echoed those sentiments. “This bill is about public safety and making sure we remove the criminal element of illegals that are here,” he said. “The president has a laser focus on the failures of Washington in terms of immigration policy, and I think that has made this effort easier.”

Those failures are monumental. According to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, approximately 775,000 illegals reside in Florida, and more than 20% of students attending Florida schools have at least one parent who is an illegal alien.

Yet those figures are likely low-ball estimates. On Nov. 28, 2018, Pew stated that the number of illegals in the U.S. declined to 10.7 million as of 2016.

That a Yale-MIT study pegged the number closer to 22 million? That ICE is currently holding 50,223 migrants, one of the highest total numbers on record? That the pace of illegal border crossings in 2019 alone is  approaching 1.2 million?

The globalist agenda must be served, even if it requires rank propaganda, overt lying, or outright law-breaking to do so.

How twisted is their thinking? In his book Violent Borders, University of Hawaii professor Reece Jones spells it out: “By refusing to abide by a wall, map, property line, border, identity document, or legal regime, mobile people upset the state’s schemes of exclusion, control, and violence.”

No, they don’t. “Mobile people” make an utter mockery of the Rule of Law and legal immigration. Moreover, sanctuary cities are nothing more than a secessionist movement promoting itself as social justice.

The Miami Herald provides great insight into their twisted thinking. “Florida is part of a recent trend of states pushing such policies,” it states.

Enforcing immigration law is “trendy”? Americans have been besieged by such ideological bankruptcy for far too long. Florida just stepped off the propagandist bus. Bravo.  ~The Patriot Post

by ijr.com:  Top Democrats in Congress told U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday that the United States has “massive” infrastructure needs which must be met with “substantial, new and real revenue.”... In a letter ahead of a White House meeting with Trump on Tuesday, House Speaker Nancy Pulosi and Senate Democratic Leader Charles scumbag-Schumer said the deal must be “comprehensive and include clean energy and resiliency priorities.” Any deal must “go beyond transportation and into broadband, water, energy, schools, housing and other initiatives. We must also invest in resiliency and risk mitigation of our current infrastructure to deal with climate change,” the Democrats added. The White House did not immediately comment, but Trump economic adviser Larry Kudlow told reporters Monday that the president has not made up his mind on whether to support raising a federal tax on gasoline as part of an infrastructure package. In a February 2018 meeting with lawmakers, Trump had endorsed hiking the federal gasoline tax by 25 cents per gallon to fund infrastructure improvements, Democratic Senator Tom Carper said. The current tax of 18.4 cents a gallon on gasoline has not been hiked since 1993. The federal diesel tax is 24.4 cents a gallon...  Where is the funds for the Wall dems.

The leaders' assault weapon was also purposely visible in the video.  Sitting around him are other members of ISIS who all have their faces covered. During the video he mentions the Islamic caliphate after the battle for Baghouz - the final ISIS strong hold to have fallen in Syria. He begins the speech making it clear that he is aware that the battle for Baghouz has ended and also called for revenge falling its fall. He also went on to speak the end of physical caliphate of the Islamic State and he praised the recent terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka, which targeted churches and hotels and left some 259 people dead and over 500 injured...

If and when the U.S. Supreme Court finally discards the long-festering farce that is Roe, the Hodes ruling would continue to make the most vulnerable Kansans fair game, unprotected from slaughter. “All men are possessed of equal and inalienable natural rights,” Kansas’s Bill of Rights begins, “among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”Audaciously, the court’s majority finds the grounding of its opinion for Hodes in exactly that guarantee. The judges continue, “We are now asked: Is this declaration of rights more than an idealized aspiration?” Clearly the court’s majority does not believe the right to life is even even that. The judges do not believe that life is an inalienable natural right, but instead they hold it to be a contingent good, which may be subordinated at times to other interests. The ruling discerns from “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” a “right of personal autonomy, which includes the ability to control one’s own body, to assert bodily integrity, and to exercise self-determination.”...

Mark Alexander:  On average, according to the latest FBI statistics, there are 46 people murdered in the U.S. every day — though it is notable that since President Donald Trump’s election, the murder rate is declining.
 

On Saturday, the whole nation heard about one murder. A sociopathic assailant and self-proclaimed anti-Semite attacked the Chabad of Poway synagogue near San Diego, leaving one dead and three others injured. This attack followed a similar sociopathic hate template of the heinous attack against the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh last October, which left 11 dead and seven wounded. The California attack was stopped by a good guy with a gun — Army veteran and Border Patrol agent Oscar Stewart.

The 19-year-old San Diego assailant was said to have taken his inspiration from the deadly attack on a mosque in New Zealand in March, though that attacker was an “eco-fascist” who did not fit the Left’s “right wing” profile. Far more consequential in terms of loss of life is the worldwide assault on Christians by Islamists — including the Sri Lanka attacks last week, in which 253 Christians were murdered by Islamists at Easter church services. But that does not fit the Democrats’ political narrative either.

The fact is, “white supremacist” violence, which is as offensive as any other violence targeting innocents, is not a major problem in the U.S. or anywhere in the world, though such crimes receive major attention from leftist Democrats and their Leftmediapublicists. Racist attacks provide fundraising opportunities for Demo candidates  and organizations that make millions as race-bait hustlers.

To that end, 2020 presidential candidate Kamala Harris was quick to blame Donald Trump and the media-driven myth of his ambiguity about a racially motivated murder in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August of 2017.

Harris proclaimed: “Saturday made clear what was clear in Charlottesville. … Let’s speak truth: racism, anti-Semitism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia are real in this country. Let us speak that truth and let us speak it in a way where we all agree that these are borne out of hate — hate which has received new fuel in these last two years.” Of course, whenever a Democrat proclaims “truth,” you can be sure it is wrapped in a political lie.

What lowlife-Harris and the rest of the vast field of leftist Democrat contenders will NOT remind you in their zeal for deconstruction and repeal of the Second Amendment is that the deadliest ground in America is inner cities — those urban poverty centers that are Democrat-controlled strongholds and have been for generations. The vast majority of murders are black-on-black or black-on-Hispanic.

For example, on the East Coast, in Baltimore over the weekend, an assailant murdered one and wounded seven others at an inner-city cookout — but it is unlikely you heard about that assault.

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ The commander of the U.S. prison at Guantánamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba has been fired... Rear Adm. John Ring, commander of Joint Task Force-Guantánamo, was relieved of duty Saturday following an investigation, according to the New York Times. Adm. Craig Faller made the call due to a “loss of confidence in his ability” to continue running the prison, which houses some of the most infamous terrorists in the world. It is not immediately known what prompted the investigation or what it uncovered. Col. Amanda Azubuike, a spokeswoman for the Southern Command, said the decision was unrelated to a recent visit by members of the news media. She also said the change would not affect operations at the prison.“This change in leadership will not interrupt the safe, humane, legal care and custody provided to the detainee population at GTMO,” military officials said in a statement. Ring, who has led the facility since April of last year, will be replaced in an acting capacity by Brig. Gen. John F. Hussey, his deputy. Ring was commissioned in 1988 through the University of Arizona's Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps program. During his tenure, Ring served as commanding officer of the USS Comstock from 2011 to 2013 and of the USS Nimitz from 2014 to 2017. He has received a number of awards and commendations during his decades in the military. Guantánamo Bay prison currently holds 40 detainees, down from a high of more than 600, and has had 18 commanders since it was opened in 2002 by President George W. Bush as a holding area for terrorists captured overseas...

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ On April 24, two Palestinian software development companies came to Bir Zeit University, north of the West Bank city of Ramallah, to offer jobs to Palestinian students... The companies were invited to campus as part of the university's Annual Hiring Day -- an event aimed at helping students find jobs with major Palestinian firms. The event, however, turned ugly when students protested against the presence of the representatives of the two companies on campus. The protesters expelled the company representatives from the university premises after accusing them of engaging in "normalization" with Israel. In other words, the students attacked, humiliated and expelled Palestinian companies that came to offer them jobs at a time when the Palestinian economy is facing a crisis and thousands of young Palestinians remain unemployed. The first company is ASAL Technologies, a Ramallah-based software and IT services outsourcing firm founded in 2000. ASAL Technologies is the largest Palestinian information and communications technology company that supplies international companies with talented Palestinian professionals. The second company, also based in Ramallah, is EXALT, a software development center specialized in web services, backend/API development and mobile apps. The students who expelled the companies' representatives from campus said they were acting on instructions from the anti-Israel movement for boycotting Israel. According to the students, the two Palestinian companies are guilty of cooperating with Israelis, especially Mellanox Technologies, an Israeli multinational supplier of computer networking products. One of the student groups responsible for the expulsion of the companies' representatives is called  Progressive Democratic Student Pole, which is affiliated with the radical PLO group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14141/palestinians-own-goal

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Former Democratic Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper boasts of our state’s outstanding economic recovery. At the same time, he hems and haws over whether he’s a capitalist or not... But for the Democrats running the state’s government in the post-Hickenlooper era, they have chosen a different path. With a divided legislature during six of Hick’s eight years, legislation that would have strangled Colorado’s economy was kept at bay. Most of it would die in the state Senate’s State, Veterans, and Military Affairs Committee on party-line votes. But with the “Blue Wave” that swept every statewide elected office and complete control of Colorado’s legislature into the hands of Democrats, that very legislation became the top priority for the party that loses sleep at the thought that its most radical and active Twitter followers might condemn them as capitalists. The horror. As in presidential politics, Democrats at the state level are engaged in a footrace to see just how far they can push the limit with liberal legislation. Bills are pending that would let localities all but banish oil and gas operations, ignore the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights to institute paid family leave, explore government-offered health insurance, and even to explore automatically enrolling workers into a government-run retirement plan. All the while, what’s left of the informal caucus of moderate Democrats are either keeping their mouths shut or acting in complicity with those that find great discomfort in their state’s economic success. In Colorado, Democrats have made their decision: Capitalism died with Hickenlooper. Colorado’s unemployment rate sits somewhere abound 2.8%, an entire percentage point lower than the national average. Our income tax rate sits flat at 4.63%, thanks almost entirely and absolutely to the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, the voter-approved measure that forces all tax increase proposals to go to a vote of the people. It should be noted that efforts to raise taxes were rejected on the same ballot that swept Democrats into office. Booms in the oil and gas, marijuana, and agricultural industries have brought prosperity to many, both in rural and metro...

{ legalinsurrection.com } ~ loose lips-Joe Biden started his official 2020 presidential campaign launch with a bang this week by declaring two glaring whoppers in two days... First was his announcement video which focused on the oft-debunked media-driven lie about President Trump’s response to the August 2017 Charlottesville riots. The second was his declaration that the scumbag/liar-nObama-Biden administration was scandal-free. loose lips-Biden made the absurd claim on a Friday segment of ABC‘s “The View” program. Newsbusters has the transcript of the former veep talking fondly about his former boss: loose lips-BIDEN: The thing I’m proudest of is we coincidentally were each in a different part of the country and we were each talking to groups of people that were being televised, the same day, purely coincidentally we were asked what are you proudest of from your administration? You know what I said –it turns out he said the same thing and probably a little more clearly than I did. Is that, not one single whisper of scandal. BEHAR: Not one! loose lips-BIDEN: Not one single whisper! [applause] That’s Barack scumbag/liar -nObama! That’s because of Barack! BEHAR: I know!

scumbag-Schiff shifts from Trump 
impeachment talk: 'Vote his ass out of office'
by John Gage

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Rep. scumbag-Adam Schiff has a better plan than impeaching President Trump: “Vote his ass out of office.”... The California Democrat told Bill Maher on Friday he is “not there yet” on impeaching Trump, but he does think that voting the president out of office would be effective. scumbag-Schiff, the embattled chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, hedged his bet, though, saying he “may get me there” on impeachment eventually." But here’s the awful dilemma that we face: If we don’t impeach him, that sends a message that this kind of conduct, this obstruction of justice, this kind of willing use of the help of a foreign adversary, all the lies and cover up, that this is non-impeachable,” he said. “At the same time, if we do impeach him and he is acquitted as he would likely be acquitted, then the message is ‘those are not impeachable offenses.’ At the end of the day, Bill, there is only one way to deal with this problem, whether we impeach him or not, and that is to vote his ass out of office,” he said. scumbag-Schiff has drawn a string of insulting nicknames from Trump, who has referred to him as " pencil-neck scumbag-Schiff," "schifty scumbag-Schiff" and " little scumbag-Adam Schitt" over scumbag-Schiff's assertions there is evidence Trump colluded with Russia, despite Attorney General William Barr's conclusion to the contrary...

Escape From New York 2021
by Daniel Greenfield 

{ sultanknish.blogspot.com } ~ In the movie Escape From New York, the island of Manhattan was walled off and mined. For its fortieth anniversary, New York City will try to recreate its plot by walling off parts of Manhattan with toll booths. The walls of toll booths to impose congestion pricing on the locals will fulfill the dream of former Mayor Bloomberg whose wildest ideas now seem downright tame to the new Dem radicals.

You could try to bypass the toll booths along 61st Street by taking an Uber, but good luck. 

New York City has also been leading a crackdown on ridesharing on behalf of taxi drivers who began committing suicide because they were no longer able to overcharge, rip off and rob tourists. Uber will be capped, taxed and pushed out of the city along with all the other cars to encourage people to use public transportation. Unfortunately, public transportation doesn’t work anymore. 

You can still ride a bike, if you don’t mind suffering bruises, bumps and skull fractures. 

The New York City subway is failing badly. To quote the New York Times, "Century-old tunnels and track routes are crumbling... Just 65 percent of weekday trains reach their destinations on time, the lowest rate since the transit crisis of the 1970s". Cars are being taxed to help fund this collapsing system. But the problem isn’t a lack of money: the money is being diverted by unions and political sweetheart deals. 

Raising taxes doesn’t fix corruption. It worsens it. 

Record numbers of New Yorkers are fleeing the Democrat disasters of the city and the state. But escaping New York by renting a car will also be more challenging because the state budget also includes a new tax on car rentals. And don’t even think of trying to fly out of one of New York’s terrible airports. 

Walling off parts of Manhattan behind toll booths will make food deliveries much more expensive. And so, the disastrous state budget deal also bans plastic bags to make shopping for food equally miserable whether you do delivery or go to the supermarket. And don’t imagine for a moment that asking for paper will get you a pass. Paper bags will also be taxed because going to the supermarket is a crime. 

Unlike Snake Plissken, once you escape from New York, your troubles will just be getting started. If you leave any property behind, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance will pore through your cellphone records, stalk your Facebook feed, stop off at your dentist’s office, and even check your fridge to prove that you still live in the Big Apple, and should be paying Governor scumbag-Cuomo’s new salary. 

But for those New Yorkers who stay behind, life keeps getting worse. 

"This budget is probably the strongest progressive statement that we've made," Governor scumbag-Cuomo declared, referring to the bizarre mess that the Democrat controlled legislature pieced together at 2.30 AM for no reason except corruption and a burning hatred for everyone living above 61st Street. 

While the state budget was terrible news for people, it was great news for criminals. 

"I’d say about 85 percent of the population will now be looking at a cashless bail system,” Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, D-Bronx, had boasted. 

Because the one thing that the Bronx desperately needs is more criminals wandering its streets. 

There was also good news for the state’s most successful criminal element with $100 million in taxpayer funds going to a commission, 6 of whose 9 members will be appointed by Democrats, to finance political campaigns. Political consultants in New York are now an official public subsidy and a welfare class. 

Governor scumbag-Cuomo will also get a 40% pay hike. It’ll take a lot of paper bag taxes to pay for that. 

And, because New York State Dems now make Bond villains look like decent folks, there’s a $100 million tax on pain medications. If you’re suffering in pain, you will end up paying more for your medications. 

When you need $100 million to pass on to politicians, why not take it from those who are suffering? 

What kind of politicians raise taxes on people living in literal agony? Democrats. 

Taxes have often been called a pain, but New York Democrats have achieved a true first by actually taxing pain. This Torquemada taxation is a new low even for New York’s pro-infanticide Democrats. 

The only possible next step is to actually tax each individual scream. 

New York Dems started out by pretending that they were trying to “help” fight opioid addiction with their pain medication tax and were protecting consumers. Now the mask is off and the official wording reads, "The economic incidence of the tax imposed by this article may be passed to a purchaser." 

That’s a very legalistic way of saying that New York Democrats are offering their suffering victims a choice between screaming in pain and paying more money to the corrupt Democrat machine. 

Stealing candy from babies would have been halfway civilized by comparison to this horror. 

The new leftist Dems boast about how they’re destroying the old Democrat machine. But even Tammany Hall, for all of its greedy crimes, would not have stooped to this level of barbarism. 

Only political monsters tax pain and torture people for money. Albany is now crawling with them. 

But that’s how you get to a $175 billion budget. You do it by stealing from everybody and their grandmother, her paper bags and her pain medication. You recreate Escape from New York on 61st Street, you make it impossible to travel within the city and then you check the fridges of the escapees. 

Assemblyman Doug Smith, a Republican, said that the only thing missing from the “midnight budget deal was a mask and gun.” 

“The apparent economic strategy of New York Democrats is simple: ‘Put a tax or fee on everything you see,’” Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb said. “Grocery bags, internet purchases, vapor products, real estate transactions, prescription medication, rental cars, commuting in and around New York City all become more expensive when this budget takes effect.” 

The complete contempt of New York Democrats for the rest of the state was captured in one single exchange during the bag debate between Senator Kaminsky and Senator Funke. 

"If I have old Wegmans plastic bags at home, can I bring them to the store and use them again?" Senator Funke asked. 

"Did you say an old white man's plastic bag?" Senator Kaminsky sneered. 

Wegmans is a popular supermarket chain with plenty of stores in New York. But none in New York City. Senator Funke is a 70-year-old Republican. Senator Kaminsky is a 39-year-old former federal prosecutor occupying a Republican seat after Senator Skelos was taken down by disgraced former federal thug Preet Bhara, who appeared to be clearing his own way to power until Trump showed him the door. 

Bhara has yet to slime his way into public office, but Kaminsky made it in by a few hundred votes. 

Democrats occupied New York’s Senate, traditionally a Republican stronghold reflecting the larger state, by thuggish tactics. The purge of Republicans and moderate Democrats, like Sheldon Silver, paved the way for the takeover of both houses by a new Dem majority of crooks, extremists, bigots and lunatics. 

Or there’s Senator Julia Salazar who has been accused of being all four of these. 

Senator Kaminsky’s victory represented a crucial seat in establishing a ‘Californian’ legislature in New York eager to pass any leftist agenda, no matter how crazy, abusive or irresponsible it might be. 

Banning bags, forcing people in pain to pay more for their medication, walling off parts of Manhattan, and freeing criminals are the wages of a one-party state assembling dirty deals at 2.30 in the morn. 

“Elections have consequences,” Barack Hussein scumbag/liar-nObama once told Republicans. 

They do indeed. 

The consequences of a powerful Democrat majority in New York can be seen from 61st Street to your local supermarket and pharmacy. But more broadly, they mean driving everyone who works for a living out of the state, if they can find a way to get out, and then robbing them some more on the way out. 

New York is suffering the steepest population losses of any state. New Yorkers are fleeing to places where they can afford a car, a home and medications. Where they can shop at a supermarket or order takeout, where they can cross the street without running into a tollbooth, and where they can be free. 

And they’re getting out before the walls go up around Manhattan and the bridges are mined.

Media Editors:  TRUMP MOVES TO BLOCK SUBPOENAS: The Associated Press reports, “President Donald Trump, his family and the Trump Organization filed a lawsuit against Deutsche Bank and Capital One in an attempt to block congressional subpoenas seeking their banking and financial records. … Two House committees subpoenaed Deutsche Bank and several other financial institutions earlier this month as part of investigations into the Republican president’s finances.” The lawsuit states, “The subpoenas were issued to harass President Donald J. Trump, to rummage through every aspect of his personal finances, his businesses, and the private information of the President and his family, and to ferret about for any material that might be used to cause him political damage.”
.
ASYLUM OVERHAUL: “President Trump called Monday night for a sweeping overhaul to an asylum system he has long said is rife with fraud — including a new fee to process asylum applicants, and the capacity to rapidly adjudicate applicants’ claims while also barring them from working in the U.S. in the meantime,” according to Fox News. “Immigration courts that process asylum claims currently have a backlog of more than 800,000 cases, and asylum applicants are increasingly staying in the U.S. even after their claims for asylum have been denied.”
.
socalist-BETO’S GREEN NEW DEAL: Via Fortune: “Democratic presidential hopeful socalist-Beto O'Rourke released a $5 trillion plan to combat climate change over the next decade with a goal of achieving net-zero emissions in the U.S. by 2050. The former congressman … said he would put the U.S. back in the Paris Agreement, if elected, and seek legislation in his first 100 days in office to set a ‘legally enforceable’ requirement that the nation remove as much greenhouse gases as it emits, with half of that goal completed by 2030.” Sunrise Movement executive director Varshini Prakash lamented, “socalist-Beto claims to support the Green New Deal, but his plan is out of line with the timeline it lays out and the scale of action that scientists say is necessary to take here in the United States to give our generation a livable future.”
.
DEMOCRATS’ INFRASTRUCTURE HIJACK: “The top two Democratic leaders on Monday told President Trump that any bipartisan infrastructure package needs to take into consideration climate change and include ‘substantial, new and real revenue’ — a preview of the coming fight over tax hikes. … Democrats want the measure for roads, bridges, waterways and other projects to be paid for with tax increases, and with a final price tag of at least $1 trillion over 10 years.” (The Hill)
.
ROSENSTEIN MAKES RESIGNATION OFFICIAL: “U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller in May 2017 to investigate links between the Russian government and President Donald Trump’s campaign, said on Monday he was resigning from his post. Rosenstein’s departure, effective May 11, was not a surprise. He had been expected to step down in March. The White House had no immediate comment, but noted that Trump had already nominated Deputy Transportation Secretary Jeffrey Rosen to replace him.” (Reuters)
.
NRA’S OLD GUARD AND NEW GUARD: “Wayne LaPierre was re-elected chief executive and executive vice president of the National Rifle Association on Monday, surviving a power struggle in which he was challenged by former NRA President Oliver North, who stepped down over the weekend. The NRA board voted unanimously in favor of LaPierre, who has been with the NRA for 40 years and has helped convert it into one of the most powerful lobbies in the United States. … In addition, Carolyn Meadows, a conservative from Georgia who had been part of the NRA leadership, replaced North as president.” (Reuters)
.
NEW YORK TIMES ANTI-SEMITISM: “The New York Times deleted a political cartoon over the weekend after acknowledging that it contained ‘anti-Semitic tropes,’ an episode decried as the latest example of rising anti-Semitism on the left,” The Washington Times notes, adding, “The New York Times editor’s note was described by some as an apology, although the message did not actually apologize for running the cartoon.” In a statement, the American Jewish Committee said it would not accept the non-apology. “How many @nytimes editors looked at a cartoon that would not have looked out of place on a white supremacist website and thought it met the paper’s editorial standards?”
.
AFA COMMANDANT OUSTED: According to The Colorado Springs Gazette, “The first openly gay general at the Air Force Academy has been removed as commandant of cadets, but leaders were mum Monday on the exact cause of the apparent firing.” The reason Brig. Gen. Kristin Goodwin was tapped for this post is unfortunate. She wasn’t unqualified, but she had a special “qualification” that other equally skilled candidates didn’t — gender dysphoria. Furthermore, she was removed one month before her rotation would have ended, so there must be something there or she would have just finished up.
.
VENEZUELA QUIVERS: “Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó took to the streets with activist Leopoldo Lopez and a small contingent of heavily armed troops early Tuesday in a bold and risky call for the military to rise up and oust socialist leader Nicolas Maduro. ‘I want to tell the Venezuelan people: This is the moment to take to the streets and accompany these patriotic soldiers,’ said Lopez, who had been detained since 2014 for leading anti-government protests. ‘Everyone should come to the streets, in peace.’” (Associated Press)
.
ISIS LEADER OUT OF THE SHADOWS: “Almost five years after he was last seen publicly, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has made a reappearance in an online video, hailing his fighters for not giving up the remnants of the ‘caliphate’ in Syria without a fight, and urging supporters to carry out attacks in France, Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere.” (CNSNews.com)

Trump Files Restraining Order Against 
Democrat scumbag-Elijah Cummings

by americanlibertyreport.com:  Ever since President Trump took office, Democrats have clung to the dirty cop-Mueller investigation as their sole beacon of hope. Now that the dirty cop-Mueller investigation is complete, though, and Trump has been cleared of any and all charges... desperation within the Democratic Party has ratcheted up to an 11. It seems Democrats are finally starting to recognize that they are losing this war. However, rather than throwing in the towel and accepting the fact that defeating Trump in 2020 is the only way to remove him from office, House Democrats are trying a new strategy—and this one is the dirtiest trick of all. With the dirty cop-Mueller investigation dead in the water, House Democrats have now moved on to their own unlawful investigations into Trump’s personal finances – a dirty political tactic that has no place in U.S. politics. In typical Trump fashion, though, the President is fighting fire with fire. After House Oversight Committee Chairman scumbag-Elijah Cummings (D-MD) attempted to subpoena Trump’s personal accounting firm Mazars, Trump fought back by filing a restraining order against scumbag-Cummings while Trump’s lawyers are fighting to block what they argue is an unlawful subpoena. First, it’s important to understand that Trump is fighting against scumbag-Cummings and his subpoena as a private citizen of the United States and not as the President. The information that scumbag-Cummings is demanding in his subpoena has nothing to do with the White House or Trump’s actions as President...

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Obvious political games are afoot when House Judiciary Chairman scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler is more interested in the testimony of Attorney General Bill Barr about the dirty cop-Mueller report... while simultaneously ignoring author of the report, dirty cop-Robert Mueller, himself.

This is all part of their ridiculous games.[…] scumbag liar-Nadler, wants to allow all members of his panel at Thursday’s hearing to have one round of questioning of five minutes each, according to the source. He also wants to allow for a subsequent round of questioning of 30 minutes for each side, allowing both parties’ committee counsels to also engage in questioning during their respective turns — which has turned into a key sticking point for the Justice Department. “The attorney general agreed to appear before Congress. Therefore, members of Congress should be the ones doing the questioning,” said Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec. “He remains happy to engage with members on their questions regarding the dirty cop-Mueller report.” scumbag liar-Nadler also is proposing that the committee should go into closed session to discuss the sections of the report that are redacted...  https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/04/28/house-judiciary-chairman-jerry-nadler-attempts-rule-changes-for-ag-barr-appearance/

Global Warming Going the way

{americanthinker.com} ~ The last thing we expect mid-spring is snow. Yet that’s just what we have. As the Weather Channel reports, “It may be late April, but Winter Storm Xyler will make you forget that it is spring in the Midwest this weekend... as it is expected to bring some unusually heavy late season snowfall.” Snow is heading to New York as well, despite the state’s all-out effort to combat global warming by attempting to ban plastic straws and now hot dogs. From the New York Post, “Upstate NY may get up to 3 inches of snow this weekend.” Across the country in Denver, the weather won’t be much different, as The Denver Channel reports, “Mild through the weekend, cold, rain and snow next week!” What’s going on? I thought the planet was heating up, with melting icecaps, rising sea levels, and less than 12 years before the earth burns to a crisp? We have been hearing this song and dance for several decades now. The global warming chicken littles keep telling us that snow is a thing of the past and we had better get used to it, along with a warming planet. In 2000, British newspaper The Independent ran this headline, “Snowfalls are just a thing of the past.” In 2014, The New York Times ran a sequel headline, “The end of snow?” Yet here we are, at the end of April, planting our gardens and facing snow in much of the country. If this is evidence of global warming, then commie-Bernie Sanders’s popularity is evidence that the Democrat Party has shifted to the right. Good luck selling that. One important factor always neglected by the climate warriors is the Sun, a ball of fire a million times larger than the Earth, the source of life on Earth, as well as destruction if the fires ever were extinguished, or expanded. If we were a few million miles closer to or further from the Sun, life on Earth would cease to exist. Just look at Venus and Mars, neighboring planets either too hot or too cold, respectively, for life as we know it...

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Prior to March 9th, 2016, the political surveillance and spy operations of the scumbag/liar-nObama administration were using the FBI and NSA database to track/monitor their opposition... However, once the NSA compliance officer began initiating an internal review of who was accessing the system, the CIA and FBI moved to create ex post facto justification for their endeavors. After the November 8th, 2016, election everyone within the scumbag/liar-nObama network associated with the Trump surveillance operation was at risk. This is the impetus for the “Muh Russia” collusion- conspiracy narrative that was used as a mitigating shield. Within a few days after the election ODNI scumbag-James Clapper and CIA Director scumbag/commie-John Brennan began pushing the Russia election interference narrative in the media. Without notifying anyone, NSA Director Mike Rogers went to Trump tower on November 18th, 2016.  Despite his compartmentalization it appears Rogers identified the NSA database abuse as the likely underpinning for some form of political surveillance. By mid-December 2016 the scumbag/liar-nObama administration was deploying a full-court-press using their media allies to promote the Russia conspiracy. However, despite their public proclamations scumbag-Clapper and scumbag/commie-Brennan were refusing to give any specifics to congress. The hard narrative was that Russia interfered. That was the specific push from within the scumbag/liar-nObama intelligence apparatus writ large. All IC officials, sans Mike Rogers (NSA), had a self-interest in pushing this narrative; after all, it was the defensive mechanism to justify their illegal spying operation throughout 2016.  This was their insurance policy...  https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/04/28/sally-yates-vs-michael-flynn/

Finnish MP Under Fire for Comparing

{ jpost.com } ~ The newly elected Finnish MP Hussein al-Taee of the Social Democratic Party of Finland (SDP) is facing a wave of criticism this week for comparing Israel to the Islamic State... antisemitic rants against Jews and pro-Iranian regime advocacy. The Finnish-Kurdish blogger and civil rights activist Anter Yasa told The Jerusalem Post that on Sunday, he first revealed the antisemitic Facebook posts allegedly written by al-Taee, who is also an enthusiastic supporter of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Speaking from Helsinki, Yasa said “I am pretty sure all of the posts are real and al-Taee has confirmed his antisemitic statements.” Dr. Efraim Zuroff, the head of the Jerusalem office of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told the Post on Sunday, “This guy Hussein al-Taee is obviously an antisemite.” Zuroff said al-Taee’s comments raise questions about how he could be elected to parliament and how the NGO Crisis Management Initiative (CMI) can employ him. According to a screenshot by Yasa and reviewed by the Post, al-Taee wrote about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in 2012, saying, “Jew doing what a Jew does best. F***s up everybody to gain everything.” Al-Taee told the Finnish News Agency STT, “I want to apologize for comparing Israel to ISIS, because the comment was simply stupid and it does not in any way represent my opinions or values.”...

Socialism and the Jews: A Brief History

by Joshua Muravchik
{ mosaicmagazine.com } ~ In late January 1989, almost exactly 30 years ago, the economic historian Robert Heilbroner wrote this epitaph: Less than 75 years after it officially began, the contest between capitalism and socialism is over... capitalism has won...Capitalism organizes the material affairs of humankind more satisfactorily than socialism. That verdict, pronounced by a leading economist who also happened to be a career-long socialist, expressed what seemed to be a global consensus on an issue that had torn the world apart for generations. For a moment, relief and joy at the end of the cold war and of the larger debate behind it soothed the pain of the many nations that had been blighted, some quite horribly, by the lethal fantasy of socialism. Yet, ominously, socialism, so recently considered over and done with, is now back, including in the United States and the United Kingdom, with apostles at high levels of government and with polls showing its rising popularity. Among those with special reason to be wary of this return from the grave are Jews, for no other people has had so fraught and tumultuous a relationship with the socialist idea and the socialist reality. Indeed, Jews have played an unmatched role among both socialism’s genitors and socialism’s victims. Before we return to the present, some history is in order...  https://mosaicmagazine.com/observation/history-ideas/2019/04/socialism-and-the-jews-a-brief-history/

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Those who participated in the 2015/2016 surveillance and spy operations, which evolved into the 2017 through today soft-coup effort, are relying on a defense that Russia ‘hacked’ the 2016 election... This false narrative is how the corrupt administrative state will defend themselves. Pay close attention to this interview and note how Senator Graham supports that narrative saying: “the Russians hacked into John Podesta’s e-mails, the campaign manager for the Democratic candidate for President. The Russians hacked into scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s e-mails, the candidate for the Democratic Party.” This ‘Russia-hacking narrative’ is the DC ‘chaff and countermeasures‘; when combined with their ‘by-the-book‘ justifications, it becomes their unified defense. Once you accept their baseline, it becomes much more difficult to expose their unlawful conduct. MARGARET BRENNAN: We just heard about this tragic shooting. It was an AR-15-style semi-automatic weapon. Hate crimes seem to be on the rise– SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM: Right. MARGARET BRENNAN: –in this country. What do we need to do to combat this, prevent it? SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM: Well, I think somebody interdicted the shooter, thank God, and it could have been worse, but in– I think in California you can’t buy a gun until you’re twenty-one. So let’s find out how this guy got the gun, what his motives were and I’m a big supporter of protective orders, allowing local law enforcement to go to a judge if there’s ample evidence somebody is becoming a danger to themselves or others. About fifteen states have such laws. I’m trying to get a national grant program to incentivize states to pass laws to allow local law enforcement to go to judges to take guns out of hands of people that are showing really disturbing signs or danger signs. And I think in Parkland that would have made a big difference, here I don’t know...

New Pentagon Initiatives Address Cybersecurity
Challenges, Industrial Base Fragility

{ news.usni.org } ~ The Pentagon’s acquisition community is going after two major sources of risk within the industrial base: the cybersecurity of companies that do business with the Defense Department... and fragility within certain critical suppliers. Ellen Lord, under secretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, said Thursday at the U.S. Naval Institute annual meeting that “cybersecurity is probably the largest emerging threat we have.” “However, we have these high-level National Institute of Standards and Technology standards that we say industry has to comply with. It is not particularly easy to understand how to comply with a hundred and twenty-some separate requirements,” she said. “So what I’ve mandated is, this year we will come up with a National Cybersecurity Standard with metrics, and we will develop third-party independent auditors who can go and audit against those cybersecurity standards. This is very similar to ISO standards for quality. In that way, we will be able to discriminate between a company that is really cyber-secure and one that is not.” The Navy has had its share of challenges in this area recently, with companies working with the Navy on undersea warfare research or acquisition projects being especially prone to cyber attacks. The Washington Post reported in June that a contractor working with the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Rhode Island on a supersonic anti-ship missile was hacked by the Chinese government. In December, The Wall Street Journal reported on a Navy review of cyber vulnerabilities that highlighted many attacks in recent months, mostly tied back to China...

{ spectator.org } ~ This is an age of trigger warnings and safe spaces. The notion of free speech is an illusion. This is especially true on college campuse. However, this wasn’t always the case... There was a time, not that long ago, when college students were encouraged to expand their minds further. To do so, students were encouraged to open their minds, to consider and debate controversial opinions. After all, the world is an unpredictable place, full of beliefs that are as divisive as they are varied. College was designed to prepare you for the real world. Please note that I use the word was for a very specific reason. For millions of Americans, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press are inviolable principles. An attack on any of these ideals is an attack on democracy. On the other hand, millions of others are enamored by the idea of conditional free speech. Those of a sensitive nature must be provided with trigger warnings and safe spaces, maybe even an emotional support animal. Free speech is encouraged… but only if the speaker subscribes to a very specific ideology. Unfortunately, like the worst hostage negotiators in the world, college administrators around the country are acquiescing and giving into the demands of the Social Justice Stasi. Of all the colleges in the United States, perhaps Middlebury is the most spineless. On the 24th of April, Ryszard Legutko, a Polish philosopher and member of the European Parliament, was scheduled to speak at the invitation of Middlebury’s Alexander Hamilton Forum. Interestingly, the forum’s site states the following: We seek to offer students an opportunity to think critically about the relevance of political and constitutional theory to a range of contemporary debates in American public life. Essential to this mission is our aspiration to contribute to a culture of reasoned, civil discussion and debate across political and intellectual differences...   https://spectator.org/diversity-and-the-death-of-free-speech/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=545575b16a-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_29_03_58&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-545575b16a-104608113

‘Queer Feminist Mermaid’ 
Surfaces to Challenge Susan Collins

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Sensing the lack of a Democratic candidate willing to challenge Sen. Susan Collins (R., Maine), a "queer feminist mermaid" named Bre Kidman—politically mobilized by the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation fight... has filed to enter the race. Collins has represented Maine in the Senate since 1997, and each of her three reelection fights have ended with double-digit margin victories. But Democrats responded to her deciding vote to confirm Kavanaugh by vowing to make her run for a fifth term a real challenge,  expecting a crowded field of candidates to step up to the plate. That hasn't materialized. The first Democratic candidate to file for the race is Kidman, currently a part-time attorney and active artist in the community, and it was a bit of an accident. "My launch came out from under me—I didn't realize people were watching the filings so closely," Kidman told the Washington Free Beacon after the filing was reported by the local Sun Journal. The first-time politician decided to run after training from the Victory Institute, which runs programs for potential LGBTQ candidates. Kidman hopes to be the first gender nonbinary queer elected to the U.S. Senate. On  Facebook, Kidman is described as a "criminal defense attorney by day and radical fat queer/performance artist/model/musician/activist most other times." On Spotify, Kidman is "Bee Kay Esq." and the biography is the same...

Many University Campuses Are Playgrounds for Insanity

David Limbaugh
 

If you think the left hasn’t taken over university life in America, you are probably not paying close enough attention or in denial.

I’m not just talking about the liberalism of the professors and the core curriculum but about all of college life. There are glaring examples of leftist extremism everywhere you turn, and they’re so loony that even sane liberal parents should be concerned.

In September, a Michigan State University student awoke from his nap to an apparently unbearable sight, according to The College Fix. His roommate was watching a video of conservative commentator Ben Shapiro. I can guess what some of you must be thinking as you read this: “I sure am glad my kids were never exposed to such provocations, such obnoxious, inconsiderate and uncaring roommates.”

You are probably also thinking, “But if my kid had been the subject of such a triggering event, I hope he would have had the presence of mind to exercise self-help and extricate himself from the hostile environment.”

In this instance, the innocent victim didn’t react violently. He calmly booted up his own computer and filed a complaint against his roommate with the administration’s bias reporting system. Kind of makes you well up with vicarious pride, no?

“Ben Shapiro is known for his inflammatory speech that criticizes and attacks the African American community,” wrote the student in his complaint. “I thought hate had no place on MSU’s campus yet MSU has roomed me with someone who supports hate speach” (misspelling in the original quote).

As a parent you will also be gratified to learn that the university dutifully dispatched an investigator to dig into this urgent matter and to work for a “room change if the claimant would like one.”

A few observations. Ben Shapiro communicates directly and refuses to bow to the gods of political correctness, but his speech is not inflammatory unless you define that as any utterance that leftist students disagree with and therefore unreasonably consider to be incendiary. Nor does Shapiro attack the African American community, and the false allegation that he does is far more inflammatory than anything he says in his podcasts or speeches.

That a major university would even dignify a complaint so frivolous on its face is deeply disturbing. In a sane campus situated in a sane world, a sane administration would have informed the offended student that universities are institutions of higher learning that promote freedom of academic inquiry. It would have told the student that he, not his innocent roommate, is the one who has the problem. He would have to learn that differing political viewpoints are not grounds for psychiatric alarm or switching roommates.

If, on the other hand, the Shapiro-friendly roommate had persistently accosted the offended snowflake in a ceaseless effort to proselytize him, that might be a different story. But in this case we are talking about a roommate minding his own business and watching a video on his own computer. As long as leftists all around us continue to portray mainstream conservative speech as hate speech and inherently racist, sexist, homophobic and all of the rest — and that’s exactly what they do — then we’ll see such faux controversies continue to proliferate. Our leftist culture is indoctrinating kids from the crib to the academy that conservative ideas are so heinous that merely harboring them in the presence of a liberal is a microaggression that demands redress. If I’m exaggerating, then please explain the aforementioned incident — and hundreds of others like it.

I’m sure you realize that if my word limit for this column were 70,000 words, I could fill it with similar examples. Let me leave you with a few more from The College Fix, lest you think I’m blowing conservative smoke. For more, check out the website.

Wake Forest University is hosting a series of “listening sessions” for faculty and staff of color (no white people allowed) to promote “inclusivity” in response to a student protest over “white supremacy.” Don’t bother to look up the definition of “inclusivity.” Leftists have seized control of our dictionaries, too. LOL.

During a guest lecture at Boston University, a University of Washington professor who specializes in “whiteness studies” reportedly railed against colorblindness, saying that white people who see people as individuals rather than as members of their race are “dangerous.” I hope I don’t need to remind you that this is wholly out of phase with the teachings of the universally revered Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. — not to mention just outright bizarre.

I shouldn’t have to issue a disclaimer, but as a matter of self-protection I will: Nothing I’m saying here is to diminish actual displays of racism when they occur. They can and should be addressed. But it should be obvious that the political left has bastardized our language by redefining terms to demonize political opponents and suppress their speech.

Incalculable damage is being done by characterizing differing opinions as “hate” and “racist” when they are nothing of the sort. Leftists are causing immeasurable suspicion, distrust and divisiveness in teaching that conservatives and/or Trump supporters are bigoted. Such slanders are exacerbating the very conditions they purport to address, and people need to speak out against this destructive trend in our culture and on our campuses.  ~The Patriot Post

This Sunday, she was on the border watching people pour across illegally... while interviewing border patrol. She also interviewed Rep. Hurd and the President. President Trump told Ms. Bartiromo that Democrats have turned the border into “Disneyland” and you would need Perry Mason to win some of these court cases. The Hondurans are told in their home country that they will be allowed to stay, according to what they told Bartiromo. There have been more apprehensions this year to date than all of last year. The cartels are renting children, and MS-13 is among those renting children to come across the border and get released into the interior. Border Patrol is having to care for sick people, children, infants, and they can’t supervise the border. Most of the people coming across are not eligible for asylum, but many pretend they are asylum seekers. The people coming in are infected with all manner of diseases. Watch them cross illegally while the Border Patrol is standing there with the TV cameras. It’s all so brazen as all of Central America pours into the country...

{ freebeacon.com } ~ A 19-year-old man who authorities said gave himself up to police shortly after carrying out a deadly shooting in a Southern California synagogue filled with Sabbath worshippers... is also under investigation in connection with an unsolved mosque arson. The gunman walked into the suburban San Diego synagogue late Saturday morning, the last day of the week-long Jewish holiday of Passover, and opened fire with an assault-style rifle, killing one woman inside and wounding three others, including the rabbi, authorities said. He then sped away in a car, escaping an off-duty U.S. Border Patrol agent who shot at the getaway vehicle but missed the suspect, but the suspect pulled over and surrendered to police officers a short time later. The suspect was later identified as John Earnest, 19, of San Diego, the apparent author of a "manifesto" who claimed to have set a nearby mosque on fire last month and professed drawing inspiration from the gunman who killed nearly 50 people at two mosques in New Zealand. San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said police and FBI were investigating Earnest's "possible involvement" in the March 24 pre-dawn arson fire at the Islamic Center of Escondido, a town about 15 miles (24 km) north of Poway. No one was hurt at the mosque fire.

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ A New Mexico official who serves as commissioner of a county near the U.S.-Mexico border said Sunday the state's Democratic governor has not responded to a request to redeploy National Guard troops... and that he is moving to block migrants from being released in his county because of a lack of resources. Couy Griffin, the chairman of the Otero County Commission, said Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's office has been silent since the board voted April 18 to declare a state of emergency. "We've had no response from our governor," Griffin said in a Fox News interview Sunday morning. Former Republican Gov. Susana Martinez said the southern region of the state is running out of room in local communities to take in tens of thousands of migrants who are being released from federal custody each month. "There is no more capacity any more they're giving to the local community — Las Cruces, Otero county giving it to Yuma, here in El Paso. At one point, they have to bus them to other locations that can absorb them. It just is impossible," Martinez said. Griffin vowed to "push very hard" against migrants being relocated and released in Otero County, which is home to about 65,000 people. He said the commission is planning to vote on a resolution that would block people who illegally crossed from Mexico to the United States from being bused from El Paso to his county. "The hypocrisy in what is going on today ... is Santa Fe, which declares to be a sanctuary county, their mayor recently said, 'We don't want them here.' They are not going to receive them in Santa Fe county, but yet they will raise the funds so you all can put them in your backyard. My position, if you'll declare yourself a sanctuary county put them on the plaza and let them live there," Griffin said...

Political Editors:  While the Leftmedia regularly asserts that President Donald Trump’s “America First” rhetoric is damaging to Hispanics, the reality on the ground is just the opposite. Recent surveys show that for the third consecutive year, Hispanic income growth and workplace participation have increased steadily. In other words, like the rest of the country, economic trends for Hispanic Americans are better under Trump.

The Hispanic Wealth Project projects that within the next five years, Hispanic median income will triple. Here are a few more positive trends from the report:

  • For the fourth consecutive year, Hispanics increased their rate of home ownership, reaching a rate of 47.1%. In 2018, Latinos added 362,000 homeowners, which is the highest number added for Latinos since 2005.

  • In 2017, Hispanics saw their third consecutive year of income growth and the highest of any demographic.

  • Between 2016 and 2017, Hispanics increased their real median income by 3.7%. Latino families making an annual income over $200,000 increased from 2.1% in 2011 to 3.8% in 2017.

  • Poverty rates reached a historic low for Latinos. In tandem with median-income growth, Hispanics have lowered their poverty rate for three consecutive years. With a poverty rate of 18.3% in 2017, Hispanics reached their lowest level since poverty estimates for Hispanics were first published by the U.S. Census Bureau in 1972.

  • Latinos have a significantly higher labor-participation rate than that of the general population, at 66.1% compared to 62.9%. The Hispanic unemployment rate fell by more than seven percentage points between 2009 and 2018, from 12.1% to 4.7%.

If these trends continue as projected, Democrats may have a tough time convincing Hispanic Americans to vote against el presidente malo in 2020.  ~The Patriot Post

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Attorney General William Barr is reportedly threatening to pull out of a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee this week... A committee source told CNN that Barr objects to the format planned for Thursday's hearing, which is focused on special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Chairman scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., wants two rounds of questions, one for members and a second in which each counsel for the Democratic Party and Republican Party would have the opportunity to ask questions. He also proposed a closed session to discuss redacted sections in dirty cop-Mueller's report. Barr objects to the added sessions and the closed session. The Justice Department has signaled that Barr may not show up unless scumbag liar-Nadler backs off. "Discussions are still ongoing, to be picked back up tomorrow," a Justice Department official told the Washington Examiner. "Our position is that it’s a congressional hearing, therefore members do the questioning." Nadler told CNN that Barr would not "dictate the format of the Judiciary Committee. "Barr is also scheduled to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, which is still expected to happen.

AG Bill Barr faces criticism from Democrats 
over judge’s arrest for obstruction

{ patriotnewsalerts.com } ~ Liberals are apparently looking to charge Attorney General William “Bill” Barr — and, by extension, President Donald Trump — with obstruction of justice in relation to the special counsel’s probe... And they are using the arrest of Judge Shelley Richmond Joseph to make their case. If you break the law, especially as a judicial official, you should be held accountable. Judge Joseph and one of her court officers did just that, and now they are about to pay the price. As you may recall, Joseph helped an illegal immigrant escape an ICE agent last year. Court recordings caught Joseph and the defense attorney working out a scheme when the judge ordered her clerk to cut off the recorder. Not long after, one of Joseph court officers escorted the illegal immigrant out of the courthouse to freedom. All the while, an ICE officer had been waiting in the lobby to take custody of the illegal immigrant... These liberals have no case, she broke the law.

Here's  How Kushner Wants 
to Reform the US Immigration System

{ dailycaller.com } ~ Jared Kushner developed a comprehensive immigration proposal that consists of fortifying border security and shifting U.S. immigration to a more merit-based system... Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor, formulated a tactic to immigration reform, and he hopes to present a legislative form of the plan to Trump within the coming days. The package essentially takes a two-pronged approach to immigration reform. The first part of the plan tackles legal immigration into the U.S., with Kushner looking to limit the number of low-skilled migrants who enter the country based on family ties. In their place, high-skilled foreign nationals would be encouraged to join the U.S. workforce under an immigration program that is more similar to the merit-based systems seen in Australia, Canada and New Zealand, CNN reported. The second part of the proposal pertains to border security. Trump’s son-in-law hopes to build more barrier walls on the U.S. southern border in areas that see high levels of illegal immigration. He also wants to modernize ports of entry so everything coming into the country is scanned, preventing anything illegal from getting past immigration enforcement. Changes to asylum laws and seasonal guest worker programs are also included in the plan. Kushner, who has already discussed the issue with a group of GOP senators, has worked with a number of top immigration experts inside and outside of the White House. Impressed with Kushner’s work on criminal justice reform, Trump tapped his son-in-law to tackle the issue that has been long been a priority for the administration...

US Navy Sends Message to Russia, China

{ westernjournal.com } ~ It is difficult to deny the fact that the two main military rivals to the United States — Russia  and China... have been actively working to establish and/or expand their spheres of influence in areas around the globe that directly impact U.S. interests, as well as those of our nation’s allies and partners. However, in what can only be described as a show of force intended to send a direct message to those rivals — as well as any others who’ve contemplated challenging the U.S. — the U.S. Navy just joined with a few European allies to send two major aircraft carrier strike groups into the Mediterranean Sea for joint exercises. The U.S. Naval Institute reported that the “dual-carrier, multi-national operation” was composed of the USS John C. Stennis and USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carriers. The typical array of escorts those carriers usually travel with were joined in the exercises by additional warships, including guided-missile destroyers and frigates, from France, Spain and the United Kingdom. U.S. ambassador to Russia, Jon Huntsman, was invited aboard the Lincoln to observe the exercises as they took place, perhaps signifying the fact that the military exercises were largely intended as a message to Russia and display of solidarity and cooperation among NATO allies. In an interview with CNN, which was granted exclusive media access to document the maneuvers, Huntsman said, “When you have 200,000 tons of diplomacy that is cruising in the Mediterranean — this is what I call diplomacy, this is forward operating diplomacy — nothing else needs to be said.”...

Fox's Napolitano asked me to pardon 
his friend, put him on Supreme Court

{ thehill.com } ~ President Trump tweeted Saturday that Fox News analyst Andrew Napolitano met with him and urged him to nominate Napolitano to the Supreme Court... as well as grant a pardon to one of Napolitano's friends. Napolitano, a former superior court judge in New Jersey, works as a legal analyst for Fox News. In a pair of tweets Saturday evening following his campaign rally in Green Bay, Wis., the president accused the commentator of becoming "very hostile" after Trump supposedly turned him down for the nation's highest court. "Thank you to brilliant and highly respected attorney Alan Dershowitz for destroying the very dumb legal argument of 'Judge' Andrew Napolitano," Trump wrote. "Ever since Andrew came to my office to ask that I appoint him to the U.S. Supreme Court, and I said NO, he has been very hostile! Also asked for pardon for his friend. A good 'pal' of low ratings Shepard Smith," the president added, referring to Fox's chief news anchor, who has often been critical of the White House. The White House did not immediately return a request for comment regarding when the conversation with Napolitano occurred or whom the Fox News commentator supposedly asked Trump to pardon. Trump frequently showers praise on Fox News figures who are seen as allies of his administration, including Dershowitz, who has defended the president amid the now-concluded investigation into Russia's election interference and Trump's campaign.  https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/441009-trump-foxs-napolitano-asked-me-to-pardon-his-friend-put-him-on

NSA Metadata Collection May Be a 
Thing of the Past

Michael Swartz:  Since we all learned back in 2013 that the federal government was collecting metadata from phone calls placed by average citizens without terrorist intentions, the PATRIOT Act’s Section 215 has been under fire by civil libertarians who claim it’s unnecessary and ineffective as a tool for stopping terrorism.
 

The Section 215 practice was temporarily thwarted by a 2015 appellate court ruling that restricted the government’s PATRIOT Act powers, but Congress quickly created the authorization later that year through the USA Freedom Act to resume the practice. Unfortunately for Congress, overzealous telecommunications companies botched the program by giving away more information than was required. That led to the purging of millions of records last year and shifted sentiment even farther away from continuing the program — a program that has yet to have been proven to even help stop a domestic terrorist act.

That’s not to say that Congress won’t continue the Section 215 program for fear of being dubbed “soft on terrorism.” But those who run it at the NSA now favor scrapping the telephone spying, arguing that the program is “difficult to manage” and “more a burden than a useful tool,” according to a Wall Street Journal report. One insider claimed the Section 215 program has been shuttered for several months already.

Since Section 215 is already fighting for its very existence, it may seem like overkill to propose a bill to do away with it. Last month, however, several of the more libertarian members of Congress introduced the Ending Mass Collection of Americans’ Phone Records Act. It’s a bill that Sen. Rand Paul, one of its sponsors, says “permanently stops one of the sprawling surveillance state’s most intrusive overreaches and is the first step in a movement to reclaim the constitutional liberties sacrificed by the overreaching provisions of the PATRIOT Act.” Unlike a simple failure to reauthorize, though, the bill would be a permanent repeal of Section 215-style authority.

Some, though, argue that ending the Section 215 program would be a hollow victory — not because the idea of domestic spying has lost its appeal to those would-be snoops within the system, but because technology has made the practice all but obsolete. Reason’s Scott Shackford cautions, “Should the White House accept the NSA’s recommendation here and let the USA Freedom Act expire, that makes it all the more important that we pay attention to governments’ efforts across the world to force social media platforms and app makers to introduce backdoors to encryption or some other form of structural weakness that would allow government spies to access our private communications without our knowledge.” One example given by Shackford is Australia, where that government is actively attempting to gain a bypass to encryption programs. We’d also note that the FBI has demanded a bypass to Apple’s iPhone encryption.

It’s often been said that the Constitution is not a suicide pact, and there have been times when its protections took a back seat to ensuring national security. Yet the Section 215 program’s lack of demonstrable success coupled with our natural desire to communicate free of government snooping may be enough to tip the scale just a bit back toward freedom. While the Long War is ongoing, its battlefield has completely changed over the last 18 years. Technology now enables “lone wolf” perpetrators who don’t need to call overseas for marching orders, and it’ll take other means to sniff out their schemes.

In short, we’ve evolved from and made unnecessary this phase of government spying. Let’s see if President Trump and Congress concur.  ~The Patriot Post

by spoliticsandnews.com:  The long-awaited “dirty cop-Mueller Report” on the investigation into Russiagate has finally been released. The bottom line... is that candidate Donald Trump and his campaign did not collude with the Russian government to undermine the 2016 election. We’ll now be subjected to weeks of unfounded media speculation. Hack reporter Jonathan Karl on ABC News insists that there is evidence of Russian collusion in the dirty cop-Mueller Report – it’s just that only Jonathan can see it! The evidence must be like those infamous racism dog whistles that only liberals can hear. The dirty cop-Mueller Report will be picked apart and analyzed for years, but there is only one sentence in the 448-page document that matters. It’s an innocuous little sentence written in order to bore readers to tears and pass over it. However, it’s an incredibly important sentence dealing with Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page. Here it is: “The investigation did not establish that Carter Page coordinated with the Russian government in its efforts to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.” That’s a boring smoke-and-mirrors method of saying: The drity cop-Mueller investigation found that the allegations in the Russian dossier – paid for by the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC – were completely, utterly false...

{ jewishjournal.com } ~ The Jewish community has responded to the April 27 shooting at Chabad of Poway in the San Diego area with grief and outrage... One woman was killed and three others injured, including the Chabad Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein. The alleged shooter — a 19-year-old white male — has been arrested. Authorities are treating the shooting as a hate crime. Anti-Defamation League (ADL) CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement the ADL is “devastated” by the shooting. “It’s truly heartbreaking to see yet another tragedy on Shabbat but also on a day when we celebrate the end of the Passover festival,” Greenblatt said. “It also the six month anniversary of the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, the most violent anti-Semitic incident in American history.” He added that the shooting highlights the scourge of anti-Semitism. “Jewish people and those of all faiths should not have to live in fear of going to their house of worship. From Charleston to Pittsburgh to Oak Creek and from Christchurch to Sri Lanka, and now Poway, we need to say ‘enough is enough,’” Greenblatt said. “People in position of authorities, from elected officials to tech CEOs, need to stand united against hate and address it, not only after it happens, but by enforcing norms and standing for our shared values long before such a crime takes place.”...

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Professional basketball legend Charles Barkley says President Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner sneaked him into the White House to discuss vocational education policy... The prominent retired player, who in the past flirted with running for office in Alabama as a Democrat, said he did not want to meet with Trump or be spotted by the press. "Kushner calls me, and I said, 'Listen, Jared. No. 1, I don't want to be on camera, I don't want to see your father-in-law, but I'll come to the White House if you're serious,'" Barkley said on the podcast "Jemele Hill Is Unbothered." The two had exchanged contact information at the annual Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference, which they both attended in 2017. Barkley is passionate about expanding vocational education, and has donated $1 million to encouraging the teaching of trade skills. Trump speaks often about encouraging such education. "He snuck me in," Barkley said. "We had a great conversation, and hopefully it will go further ... I'm on my mission, and hopefully, he can help me with my mission." Barkley did not say when exactly the meeting with Kushner happened. Trump  ended an scumbag/liar-nObama-era policy of releasing partial White House visitor logs, easing the privacy of such visits. To evade reporters, guests must simply walk briskly into the West Wing from a parking lot partially visible to journalists...   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/charles-barkley-sneaked-into-white-house-by-jared-kushner-for-meeting?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_04/27/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief&rid=5261

Annihilation of Christian Life and People:

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ "Where is the solidarity for the Sri Lanka's Christians?"  asked the British scholar Rakib Ehsan, a Muslim... "The differences in tone and nature between the condemnations of the Christchurch and Sri Lanka terrorist attacks are striking. After Christchurch, there was no hesitation about stating the religious backgrounds of the victims and directing emotion and affection towards Muslim communities. Politicians took no issue with categorising the events in Christchurch as terrorism. "In contrast, the words 'terrorism' and 'Christianity', along with their associated terms, have so far failed to feature in much of the reaction to the attacks in Sri Lanka. "What is evident is not only a clear reluctance to specify the religious background of Christians who were killed in Sri Lanka, but also an absence of heartfelt solidarity with Christian communities across the world, which continue to suffer grave forms of persecution on the grounds of their faith." Rakib Ehsan asked the right question. But it might be rewritten as: Where is the Western solidarity for the Sri Lanka's murdered Christians? This is a drama in three acts. The first act consists of the Christians and other non-Muslim indigenous peoples being violated and murdered. The second act consists of Muslim extremists who create this genocide. And the third act consists of the indifferent West, which looks everywhere else...

Real Leverage on Illegal Immigration
by Mike Raza

{ americanthinker.com } ` The main reason it is so difficult to deal with illegal immigration is that there is an unwritten but not secret alliance between RINOs who want cheap labor and leftists who want new voters... It is not clear whether either side of that bargain really gets what it wants, but it endures. Meanwhile, conservatives want a secure border and the rule of law. Keeping criminals and drugs out is a high priority and only a wall or other barriers will do, The RINOs and leftists are willing to tolerate the criminals and drugs in return for their other goals. What do conservatives want? Of course, no list will be agreed to by all but here are the main desired reforms:

Build a border wall or other barriers.
Mandate E-verify.
End chain migration
End the visa lottery.
End “catch and release”.
Tighten rules for asylum seekers and only admit them after they prove their case.
End sanctuary cities, states, or other jurisdictions.
Add citizenship question to 2020 census. Redistrict based on only U.S. citizens.

Liberals want none of the above; they want open borders. President Trump is dealing with two distinct adversaries. The first is the Democrats, of course. They are truly shameful, showing no empathy for the Americans who are harmed by unsecured borders but demanding special treatment for the illegal invaders. The only logical explanation is their expectation that these illegals and their children will eventually vote, and those votes will help realize the Democrat dream of one-party dominance for them. Perhaps more cynical are the RINOs who are willing to risk the future of their country in return for short term cheap labor. There laws on the books which could be invoked to raise the stakes for the progressives and RINOs so high that they would have to back down. I am speaking first of the laws prohibiting the employment of illegal aliens, aka “undocumented workers”. Second, there are laws prohibiting the harboring of or abetting illegal aliens...

How Are Corporations Paying No Taxes?

Brian Mark Weber:  The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was supposed to restore a sense of fairness and simplicity to the tax system for both individuals and companies. Sure, many working Americans had less taxes taken out of their paychecks in 2018, and there are other aspects of the act that improved the tax code overall, but the act failed to address tax loopholes that enabled the largest companies to avoid taxes. In fact, some of these loopholes were expanded.

For example, in 2018 there were 60 American corporations that paid $0 in federal taxes, despite earnings in the billions. According to a report from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, these federal free riders included IBM, Amazon, Netflix, Molson Coors, Whirlpool, JetBlue Airways, and General Motors.

It gets worse.

As Megan Henney writes at Fox Business, “Instead of paying $16.4 billion in taxes at the 21 percent corporate rate, the companies received a corporate tax rebate of $4.3 billion.” Henney adds, “Netflix, for instance, raked in $856 million in profit but paid no federal taxes because of tax credits, according to ITEP. IBM, meanwhile, earned $500 million but received a rebate worth $342 million, although it’s unclear specifically how the company did so. The company said it used "domestic incentives” to reduce its income tax by about $110 million in 2018.“

How do they get away with it?

The loopholes that these large companies use to reduce or eliminate their tax burdens include accelerated depreciation — which allows them to write off their capital investments — and a range of tax credits for what they call "research and development.” Still others took advantage of alternative-energy tax subsidies or stock options.

Until Congress and the Securities and Exchange Commission get serious about closing some of these loopholes, corporations will continue to take advantage. After all, what they’re doing isn’t illegal. But in the end, the public’s confidence in our elected officials will continue to erode as the perception of government favoritism toward big business is reinforced. Not surprisingly, polls show that most Americans want these loopholes closed.

But let’s be clear: First, corporations don’t pay taxes — consumers do. So this isn’t about raising corporate taxes, punishing successful companies, or eroding their positive effects on our economy. Instead, the issue is fairness, as so many small businesses and working individuals struggle to keep their accounts in the black each month and contribute a much higher percentage to the government at tax time. That’s because small-business owners often file taxes as individuals — and thus pay the much higher individual rate.

Meanwhile, video-game companies like Activision, entertainment companies such as Netflix, and gargantuans like Amazon reap the benefits of a flawed system that enables them to not only avoid taxes, but to actually receive tax windfalls.

Brock Blake writes at Forbes, “While there’s potential for this tax law to have a positive impact for small business owners in the long run, most entrepreneurs feel that the government looks out for corporations’ interests over small businesses. According to a recent survey, 79 percent of startup entrepreneurs say they had no support from government to launch their companies, and 60 percent believe that government doesn’t care about businesses like theirs. Ouch.”

Our approach to this problem will test our commitment to free-market principles. We shouldn’t embrace policies that limit the expansion of job opportunities, the innovativeness and competitiveness of American companies, or the overall growth of the U.S. economy.

The Republican reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% was a good and much-needed move, but large companies shouldn’t be exempt — again, especially when so many small businesses who compete with them are Sub S corporations paying the taxes at the highest personal rate. Moving forward, conservatives should enable a business climate that supports the creation and expansion of small businesses. We’re all for limited taxation and pro-growth economic policies, but if mom-and-pop grocery stores fork over hefty taxes to the federal government every year, then large corporations should bear some of the burden too.

Finally, despite what many conservative economists predicted, the largest tax-avoiding companies don’t always reinvest their savings into the American economy. Some shelter their tax windfalls overseas, for example. Clearly, we need a tax system that incentivizes reinvestment while steering clear of the Left’s failed formula of higher taxes and increased government regulation.  ~The Patriot Post

Media Editors:  ANOTHER SYNAGOGUE SHOOTING: “A woman has died and a rabbi was injured after shots were fired inside a Poway, California synagogue filled with people celebrating the last day of Passover. A suspect was taken into custody approximately two miles away from the synagogue while three patients were rushed to a nearby hospital. … As the suspect fled the scene, an off-duty U.S. Border Patrol agent who was in the synagogue at the time of the shooting opened fire on the suspect, missing the man but striking his vehicle.” (NBC San Diego)
.
UN ARMS TREATY WITHDRAWAL: “President Trump announced Friday that his administration is withdrawing the U.S. signature from the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty, in response to concerns from gun rights activists that it could impinge on Americans’ right to bear arms. … Former President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama signed the treaty in 2013 and sent the treaty to the Senate for ratification. [On] Friday, Trump signed a notice to the Senate asking it to stop the ratification process and return the treaty to the White House, ‘where I will dispose of it.’” (Fox News)

NRA SQUABBLE: “Oliver North announced Saturday that he would not serve a second term as National Rifle Association president, making it clear he had been forced out by the gun lobby’s leadership after his own failed attempt to remove the NRA’s longtime CEO [Wayne LaPierre] in a burgeoning divide over the group’s finances and media operations.” (Associated Press)
.
BARR BACKING OUT? “The Justice Department has informed the House Judiciary Committee that Attorney General William Barr may skip a Thursday hearing on special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report if committee lawyers seek to question him. The Democratic-run committee plans to allow counsels from both sides to ask Barr about the Russia probe after the traditional round of questioning by lawmakers. … Barr is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday and the House panel on Thursday. The GOP-led Senate committee is expected to have normal rounds of member questioning.” (Associated Press)

FORD’S DIRTY EMISSIONS SCHEME: “The U.S. Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into Ford Motor Co.‘s emissions certification process. Ford said in February that it had begun an internal investigation into whether its vehicles have worse gas mileage and emit more pollutants than car, truck and SUV labels actually reveal, going back to 2017 models. … An anonymous employee reporting system at Ford raised the issue in September 2018, the company disclosed in February.” (USA Today)

DEVIOUS ATTORNEY KIM FOXX SUBPOENAED:  “Chicago’s top prosecutor, Kim Foxx, has been subpoenaed Friday over her handling of the Jussie Smollett case, according to The Chicago-Sun Times. Foxx, Cook County’s state’s attorney, will have to appear in court after a retired appellate judge, Sheila O'Brien, filed a petition last week for a special prosecutor to probe the Smollett case, in which a 16-count indictment against the 'Empire’ actor was dropped last month. Foxx’s top deputy, Joseph Magats, was also subpoenaed, and another document requested that Smollett appear at the hearing.” (Fox News)
.
CONGRESSIONAL PRAYER CONSTITUTIONAL: “The D.C. Circuit unanimously upheld religious prayer in Congress last week, following a lawsuit that attempted to halt the tradition of opening House meetings with invocations to God. While the lawsuit is unsurprising, it’s still good to see federal judges maintain the authority of the First Amendment, specifically the much-contested establishment clause.” (Washington Examiner)

MIGRANTS FLOOD TUCSON: “Border Patrol officials have begun releasing migrant families in Tucson because they lack the space to detain them and immigration officials are unable to take them into custody. The practice has been going on for about a month, according to the Border Patrol’s Tucson sector, which covers most of Arizona’s border with Mexico. … Border Patrol has not disclosed how many migrants it has released directly into Tucson in the past month since it began the practice. … Pima County officials estimate that ICE has released about 7,000 migrants in Tucson in the past eight months.” (Arizona Republic)

POPE INTERVENES IN MIGRANT CRISIS: “Pope Francis has donated 500,000 dollars to assist migrants in Mexico. The funds … will be distributed among 27 projects promoted by sixteen Mexican dioceses and religious congregations, which requested assistance in continuing to provide food, lodging, and basic necessities to the migrants. … In particular, the aid is intended to assist the more than 75,000 people who arrived in Mexico in 2018, in six migrant caravans.” (Vatican News)

MORE PREDATOR PRIESTS UNVEILED: “At least 120 priests accused of sexually abusing a child or having child pornography have worked in the Archdiocese of New York, the archdiocese said Friday in releasing a list of names that includes bishops, high school teachers, a scouting chaplain and a notorious cardinal. The release, from the nation’s second-largest Roman Catholic archdiocese, follows more than 120 such disclosures from other dioceses around the country as the church reckons with demands for transparency about sex abuse by clergy.” (Associated Press)

Feds Indict Sanctuary City Judge for 
Helping Illegal Alien Escape Arrest

{breitbart.com} ~The federal government is charging a Massachusetts judge and a courtroom officer with obstruction of justice after the pair allegedly helped a twice-deported illegal alien escape... out the back door while an immigration enforcement officer was kept outside the front door. District Court Judge Shelley Richmond Joseph and Trial Court Officer Wesley MacGregor face severe penalties: “charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstruction of a federal proceeding – aiding and abetting provide for sentences of no greater than 20 and five years in prison, respectively; five and three years of supervised release, respectively; and a fine of $250,000,” said a press statement from the Department of Justice.The illegal alien was arrested in March 2018 for narcotics possession. An agent from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency was sent to the courthouse to arrest and deport the alien, who “had twice been deported from the United States – in 2003 and 2007, and … a federal order had been issued prohibiting the defendant from entering the U.S. until 2027,” the statement said, adding:The Officer announced his presence to Courthouse personnel, including Joseph, upon arrival. Prior to the afternoon session, the courtroom clerk – at Joseph’s direction – allegedly instructed the ICE Officer to leave the courtroom and wait outside in the lobby, stating that in the event that the defendant was released, it would be through the courtroom and into the lobby. At 2:48 p.m. the case was called and the proceedings were captured on the courtroom’s audio recorder, as prescribed under the rules for all State District Courts. The audio recording captured Joseph, the defense attorney and the ADA speaking at side bar about the defendant and the ICE detainer. Joseph then allegedly ordered the courtroom clerk to “go off the record for a moment.” For the next 52 seconds, the courtroom audio recorder was turned off, in violation of the District Court rules. At 2:51 p.m., the recorder was turned back on, and Joseph indicated her intent to release the defendant. According to the charging documents, the defense attorney asked to speak with the defendant downstairs and Joseph responded, “That’s fine. Of course.” When reminded by the clerk that an ICE Officer was in the courthouse, Joseph stated, “That’s fine. I’m not gonna allow them to come in here. But he’s been released on this.” Immediately following the proceeding, MacGregor allegedly escorted the defendant, his attorney and an interpreter downstairs to the lockup and used his security access card to open the rear sally-port exit and release the defendant at 3:01 p.m...

{ bizpacreview.com } ~ Former South Carolina Congressman Trey Gowdy took a brutal shot at Democrat presidential candidate scumbag-Eric Swalwell on Friday... telling Fox News host Martha MacCallum that the thought of him winning the election and becoming president should “scare the ever-living hell out of you.” “President scumbag-Eric Swalwell, that ought to scare the ever-living hell out of you,” he bluntly said on FNC’s “The Story with Martha MacCallum” after the host played a clip of scumbag-Swalwell speaking on MSNBC about the otherwise debunked Russian collusion delusion conspiracy theory. During an appearance on the left-wing network earlier in the week, the 2020 contender had doubled down on his unsubstantiated belief that President Donald Trump essentially works for Russia. That discussion had begun with host Ari Melber asking scumbag-Swalwell whether he accepts “the findings in the dirty cop-Mueller report that do not support” his collusion delusion conspiracy theory...   https://www.bizpacreview.com/2019/04/27/trey-gowdy-president-eric-swalwell-that-ought-to-scare-the-ever-living-hell-out-of-you-749130?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=BPR%20Email&utm_campaign=DMS

Trump debates waiving Jones Act to ship

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ President Trump is considering granting waivers to bypass the Jones Act, a century-old law law regulating domestic maritime commerce, to ease the transport of natural gas to the Northeast and Puerto Rico... Enacted in 1920, the Jones Act prohibits tankers from hauling goods and commodities, such as oil or natural gas, between U.S. ports unless the ships are American made, owned, and crewed. The Jones Act was designed to protect American maritime interests and shipbuilders, and the industry has repeatedly fended off attempts in Congress to repeal it, with coastal lawmakers stepping in to save it. Jones Act boosters warn waivers would harm American jobs. But some oil and gas industry officials argue the law is hampering Trump’s “energy dominance agenda” by effectively prohibiting areas of the country that lack energy resources, and suffer from high prices, from receiving U.S.-produced natural gas. “Jones Act waivers are a commonsense solution to meet the energy needs of Americans in Northeast and Puerto Rico,” said Dan Eberhart, CEO of the oil services firm Canary and a Trump donor. “There’s no good argument for not granting waivers, except for the protests of special interest, which often win out in swampy D.C.” For Trump, who has not decided what to do, the debate over the Jones Act presents a conflict between his instinct to loosen restrictions on infrastructure and energy development and his promise to support American jobs and traditional U.S. industries. The problem with the current situation is twofold, according to supporters of waivers for natural gas...

{ dailywire.com } ~ "The whole day left me more certain than ever that we have a real immigration crisis and that the solution is a high wall with a big gate — but a smart gate," Friedman wrote... Friedman echoed those sentiments while appearing on CNN Wednesday night when pressed by Wolf Blitzer. "Wolf, I’m as radically pro-immigration as they come," Friedman said. "But it’s pretty clear to me that unless we can assure a significant number of Americans that we can control our border, we’re never going to have the proper immigration flow I think we need, we desire, and that we have actually a moral responsibility — given our history as a nation of immigrants, and a refuge for people fleeing persecution." "We have a president who actually, when you think about it, Wolf, he has the chops with his base," Friedman continued. "If he were to sit down, call Nancy Pelosi up, say, ‘We’re going up to Camp David. You bring your immigration team, I’ll bring mine. I’ll leave Stephen Miller at home, and we will actually sort out a compromise here.' ... Democrats were ready to fund more border security, but at the same time we’re going to create a legal pathway for people here, limits the number of ICE arrests and we’re going to have a rational inflow of people."...

by  gopusa.com:  Donald Trump has announced that the US will withdraw its support for a United Nations treaty regulating the multibillion-dollar global arms trade... Addressing the National Rifle Association (NRA) in Indianapolis, the president said he would revoke America’s status as a signatory of the arms trade treaty regulating conventional weapons including small arms, battle tanks, combat aircraft and warships. “My administration will never ratify the UN arms trade treaty,” Trump said. “We’re taking our signature back. The United Nations will soon receive a formal notice that America is rejecting this treaty.” Trump added: “Under my administration, we will never surrender American sovereignty to anyone. We will never allow foreign bureaucrats to trample on your second amendment freedom. I’m officially announcing today that the United States will be revoking the effect of America’s signature from this badly misguided treaty.” The US signed the treaty in 2013 but never ratified it. The NRA has long claimed the treaty poses a threat to the second amendment. On Friday its members stood, applauded and chanted “USA! USA!” as Trump signed a letter to Congress halting the ratification process, then tossed his pen into the crowd. A delighted Chris Cox, executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, said: “Barack scumbag/liar-nObama and hanoi- John Kerry tried to force us to accept international gun control under the power of the UN, but Donald Trump has said: ‘Not on my watch.’”...   http://www.gopusa.com/?p=68674?omhide=true

NRA Sues LA Over Free-Speech Violation

Thomas Gallatin:  The National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles this week for a recent ordinance the city council unanimously passed. The ordinance, introduced by councilman Mitch O'Farrell, requires any city contractor to fully disclose any sponsorship of or contact with the NRA. O'Farrell, along with fellow anti-gun zealot Councilman Paul Krekorian, claimed that the law was needed to combat the NRA, which Krekorian described as “one of the most significant roadblocks to sensible gun safety reform at every level of government across the nation.”

NRA attorney Chuck Michel argued that “politicians are free to disagree with the NRA’s pro-freedom, firearm safety, and self-reliance message, but they aren’t free to censor it — as this would do when NRA supporters drop their NRA affiliations for fear of losing work from the city because they get put on a blacklist.” The lawsuit charges that the city’s anti-NRA ordinance is an unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment’s protection of free speech and association as well as the 14th Amendment’s right to equal protection under the law.

Speaking of the NRA, its annual convention is currently underway in Indianapolis, where President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are scheduled to speak today. This will be the third consecutive year Trump has addressed the assembly. The executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, Chris Cox, welcomed the president and his support, stating, “Donald Trump is the most enthusiastic supporter of the Second Amendment to occupy the Oval Office in our lifetimes. President Trump’s Supreme Court appointments ensure that the Second Amendment will be respected for generations to come. Our members are excited to hear him speak and thank him for his support for our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.”  ~The Patriot Post

Social Security Will Be Insolvent in 16 Years
IBGNY3vt3mHi1zjZyTMGUN-ijD80UANH5JCmZMCvuNtdfpbOGLVtY4B-OJKqC3_XKIOVs_fetifDSIo5ERVBUnJYlKqh6EjmW77wK9KBnZmc8VX-DjihyvVazYS9iGHTick0rpz_cbjl3bNu5JPoKyGO05WPUPFoHqJ6h1c=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710xby Eric Boehm
{ reason.com } ~ Social Security will be insolvent and unable to pay the full value of promised benefits by 2035—that's one full year later than previously expected... and Social Security's costs will exceed its income by 2020, according to a new report published Monday by the program's trustees. At the end of 2018, Social Security was providing income to about 67 million Americans. About 47 million of them were over age 65, and the majority of the rest were disabled. If nothing changes, the Social Security Trust Fund will be fully depleted by 2035 and the program would impose across-the-board cuts of 20 percent to all beneficiaries. That may sound like it's a long way off, but 51-year-old workers today will be just hitting retirement age when the cuts kick in. Some current retirees will still be younger than 80. By that point, some parts of Medicare will already be unable to cover the full cost of benefits. The trustees' report released Monday shows that the trust fund for Medicare Part A, which covers hospital and nursing home costs, will be gone by 2026. Medicare Part B, which covers routine medical care like visits to the doctor, and Medicare Part D, which covers prescription drugs, are on more solid footing and will remain solvent "indefinitely." It is important to remember that insolvency is not the same as bankruptcy. By 2026 and 2034, respectively, Medicare and Social Security will not have enough money to pay the full cost of their obligations, but that's not the same as saying they'll have no money at all. It's also important to keep in mind that these projections are constantly shifting based on economic data, demographic trends, and actuarial projections. Last year, Social Security was supposed to hit insolvency in 2034. The year before, the trustees said insolvency wouldn't hit until 2037. It's a moving target, but time keeps on slipping and ignoring the looming crisis won't make it go away...

A Federal Judge Has 
Defied the Law to Protect Abortion

{ nationalreview.com } ~ Honestly, after two years of nationwide injunctions, ludicrously expanded standing rules, and blatant disregard for precedent, it’s become hard for the judicial #resistance to surprise... If there is a Trump regulation they can block — at least temporarily — they will do so, sound reasoning be damned. But even my cynical heart received a jolt at the sheer brazenness of Judge Stanley Bastian, from the Eastern District of Washington.  Yesterday he issued yes, of course a nationwide injunction   blocking implementation of the Trump administration’s new Title X regulations — regulations that were a milder version of the Reagan administration’s so-called “gag rule” against abortion counseling by Title X recipients. Whereas the Reagan rule prohibited Title X projects from counseling or referring for abortion, the Trump rule limits the referral. Both the Trump and the Reagan rules required physical and financial separation of Title X projects from abortion-related activities. But here’s what makes Judge Bastian’s decision so brazen. The stricter Reagan rules were upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in Rust v. Sullivan, one of the seminal abortion decisions of the Rehnquist Court. The Court noted that Title X itself states that “none of the funds appropriated under this subchapter shall be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning” and then held that the Reagan rule — which, again, prohibited even abortion counseling — “plainly allowed the Secretary’s construction of the statute” and that the administration’s break with past regulatory practice was supported by “reasoned analysis.” Given this on-point Supreme Court precedent, you would think that a judge contradicting it would engage in searching analysis of why the Court’s ruling doesn’t govern the case. The Affordable Care Act, for example, does contain provisions prohibiting regulations that “interfere with communications regarding a full range of treatment options between the patient and the provider” or that create “unreasonable barriers to the ability of individuals to obtain appropriate medical care.” But the ACA does not disturb Title X’s prohibition against use in programs “where abortion is a method of family planning,” and that is the key language the Supreme Court used to uphold Reagan’s rule...   https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/04/a-federal-judge-has-defied-the-law-to-protect-abortion/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=theinsider&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTVRRMll6VmtNV1l3WlRoayIsInQiOiJKUERNZWM1cXN1VmNXbUtOMXUyZHVadnBEbFhLeFFQNEVoK0E0SWUxc0Fra1BKVzBVNGd5MmpxbjN1OVhrN2oySTJvekFISVwvVWVSTHQxdVZBVWd2czJCaWpsMklxcEtLR0xjSkUzSEtGWVFmbUttS05ReUNHZVZ4Q0FsZWZmUUcifQ%3D%3D

by americanlibertyreport.com:  The remittance payments that illegal aliens send back home to Mexico, after stealing jobs meant for Americans and paying no taxes on their wages, seem a bit… unfair.... A lot of Americans would probably like to sign up for that. All the money that you make at your job, for example, may be intended to benefit members of your immediate family. Therefore, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to pay no taxes on your salary, simply by claiming, “But the money is for my family!” Alas, you can’t get a sweet deal like that in America. That’s only a benefit that illegal aliens in our country get to enjoy. If you’re an American and you do happen to have family overseas, you’ve probably noticed that it’s a bit expensive to wire money to them. According to Lending Tree, here are the international wire transfer fees that Americans must pay at their banks to send money to a foreign country. Bank of America, Citi, PNC and Wells Fargo all charge $45 per transfer. Chase, SunTrust and US Bank each charge $50 per transfer. BB&T charges $65 per transfer. The average cost for Americans to send an international wire transfer from these banks is a little over $48 per transfer. That will buy you a tank of gas and some biscuits & gravy in most places. Oh, but there is one banking program administered through the Federal Reserve which allows you to send foreign wire transfers for just $0.67 per transaction. Unfortunately, you must be an illegal alien sending untaxed remittance payments home to Mexico in order to participate in this special, exclusive program. Crossing the border illegally has so many benefits!...

Hannity to Leave Fox News Partially Due to Lack 
of Trump Support, According to New Report

{ hillreporter.com } ~ Donald Trump has been very unhappy with Fox News lately. First the president lamented that the network hosted a town hall for commie-Bernie Sanders. Last week... he tore into the liberal leanings of hosts, Arthel Neville, Leland Vittert and Shepard Smith. It seems that Trump is not the only prominent conservative who is having issues with Fox’s oversight. Host Sean Hannity has reportedly told friends that he plans to leave the network in 2021 due in part to the Murdochs’ lack of support for the president. The Murdoch family owns the network. A Fox News staffer told Vanity Fair, “Sean doesn’t feel supported. He has no relationship with Lachlan Murdoch. Sean thinks, Wait a second, I was hired to get ratings and I get ratings, but now people are embarrassed about me? He feels Fox spends a lot of time supporting Shepard Smith but his show makes no money. That’s annoying to him.”The relationship with Rupert Murdoch’s sons seems to be a tipping point for Hannity. He has also lost some significant allies in former network president’s Roger Ailes and Bill Shine. In fact, a second source told Vanity Fair that Hannity “told Trump last year that the Murdochs hate Trump, and Hannity is the only one holding Fox together.” While not on the level of Laura Ingraham or Tucker Carlson, Hannity has lost some significant sponsors. His support for Roy Moore during a 2017 special election cost him advertising spots from companies like Peloton and Cars.com. But the main problems between Hannity and the network goes back to Lachlan and James Murdoch. James is reportedly looking to invest in some media outlets that lean more liberal than conservative. Those kind of investments could spell the end of the relationship between Hannity and Fox News.

{ foxnews.com } ~ National Rifle Association President Oliver North said Saturday that he won’t serve a second term as the leader of the gun-rights group... The resignation came amid internal power struggle among the leadership that has recently engulfed the group, culminating in a public fallout on Friday when a letter by NRA’s executive vice president Wayne LaPierre, the effective public face of the organization, was published in which he accused North of pressuring him to resign. “Please know I hoped to be with you today as NRA president endorsed for reelection. I’m now informed that that will not happen,” North said in a letter read out by a board member Saturday. He said that the NRA should form a committee to probe the group’s finances, adding that it represents a “clear crisis” that “needs to be dealt with” if the organization wants to remain a viable organization. In a separate letter dated Thursday to NRA board members, meanwhile, LaPierre said North asked him to resign on Wednesday. North told LaPierre the NRA’s longtime advertising firm, Ackerman McQueen, planned to send a letter to the board through North that would be “bad for me” unless he resigned.  “Yesterday evening, I was forced to confront one of those defining choices — styled, in the parlance of extortionists — as an offer I couldn’t refuse,” the letter, which was obtained by the Wall Street Journal, read. “I refused it.” He added that North said “the letter would not be sent — if I were to abruptly resign,” noting that “He stated that he could ‘negotiate’ an ‘excellent retirement’ for me.”...

Nate Jackson:  “The Press Didn’t Just Report Accurately on Trump-Russia Corruption. It Prevented the Corruption From Being Worse.” So read a headline at Slate yesterday over a story in which the site’s “chief news blogger,” Ben Mathis-Lilley, argued that the Leftmedia basically got the collusion narrative right all along (though, notably, he used the word “corruption,” not “collusion”). As reporters discovered tidbits, he insisted, Donald Trump and his staff were forced to change course and not actually collude with Russia because of the accurate reporting.

But Mathis-Lilley and his colleagues at Slate are hardly the only ones claiming this absurd revisionist history. CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz claimed dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report“really corroborated a lot of the good journalism that was done.”

The Washington Post’s Aaron Blake boasted, “The dirty cop-Mueller report was by and large an affirmation of the mainstream media’s investigative reporting. Almost all the big stories were confirmed in the report.”

And the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman insisted, “The report confirms a lot of the reporting by NYT, WaPo and others about the president’s actions, many of which he or his advisers denied in real time.”

While the Leftmedia’s own “fact-checkers” may award points for truth-telling in that some specific claims were indeed factual, from a strategic standpoint it’s hard to unpack how delusional these boasts are. So we’ll focus on just two overarching points.

First, the Leftmedia spent more than two years reporting that Trump had colluded with Russia, not that their reporting stopped him. These scribes may congratulate themselves, but their reporting didn’t even rise to the level of one of Hollywood’s films “based on a true story.” The entire collusion narrative was based on totally fabricated lies, as dirty cop-Mueller’s report made painfully clear. That a few reporters got some facts right while reporting fake news is irrelevant.

Second, a journalist’s job is not necessarily to prevent corruption, as the second part of Slate’s headline claims the media did. It’s true that preventing corruption may be a desired byproduct of good reporting in that no politician wants to get caught, but the idea that journalists should be activists is one of the main problems driving the bias in the media today. Journalism students are taught by leftist academics that they can “change the world,” and these young people then go out into journalism careers thinking their “progressive” mission is to fight everything on the Right. It’s putting it mildly to say that being blinded by partisan advocacy is not conducive to good journalism.

Speaking of blind squirrels, even scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton alluded to this nut when she observed in her op-ed that “Watergate offers a better precedent” for going after Trump. Who brought Richard Nixon down? Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein — the idols for subsequent generations of Leftmedia activists.

We find ourselves agreeing with Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi, who argues, “It’s shocking to see national media voices after the release of dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report patting each other on the back, congratulating themselves for a three-year face plant they must know will haunt the whole business for a long time.” Leftmedia activists learned nothing, and they’re celebrating themselves for it.  ~The Patriot Post

The US Sanctions on Mullahs are Working

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Critics of US President Donald Trump and his policy regarding the Iranian government are quick to condemn him for the sanctions he has imposed on the theocratic establishment... Their argument is anchored in the idea that the only informed and effective policy that will deal with Iran's clerical establishment is rooted in enticing them in from the cold: in other words, appeasement. These critics had the opportunity to initiate and expand appeasement policies during the eight-year administration of former President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama. Throughout this time, President scumbag/liar-nObama made unprecedented concessions in an attempt to appease the ruling mullahs. He met them with generosity and flexibility every step of the way. What was the outcome? As sanctions against Iran were lifted during the scumbag/liar-nObama administration, it quickly became clear that those actions instead gave Iran global legitimacy in the eyes of the international community. This newfound legitimacy and the lifting of sanctions generated billions of dollars in revenue for Iran's military institution, the Revolutionary Guard Corps, as well as for Iran's militia and terror groups. Tehran used that influx of revenues to expand its influence throughout the region, including in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Lebanon. The expansion campaign proved to be immensely successful. Now the latest reports show that those who support the idea of appeasing Iran, and criticizing Trump's strict policy toward Iran, are dead wrong. The sanctions have, in fact, imposed significant pressure on the Iranian government to such an extent that the Iranian leaders are cutting their funding to their allies, militia and terror groups...    https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14126/the-us-sanctions-on-mullahs-are-working

{ thehill.com } ~ Three top House Democrats on Thursday launched an investigation into what they described as “unprecedented firings” at the Department of Homeland Security... House committee chairmen scumbag-Elijah Cummings (D-Md.),  scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) andBennie Thompson (D-Miss.) wrote a letter to acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan demanding communications related to the departure or potential departure of former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, former Secret Service Director Randolph Alles and other officials.“We are deeply concerned that the firing and forced resignation of these officials puts the security of the American people at risk,” the lawmakers wrote. “We are also concerned that the President may have removed DHS officials because they refused his demands to violate federal immigration law and judicial orders.” “Moreover, we are concerned by reports that, even as he has removed the Department’s leadership, the President has sought to empower a White House aide, Stephen Miller, to ‘be in charge of handling all immigration and border affairs,'” the Democrats wrote, quoting from a recent report in The Washington Post. The announcement of the probe comes one day after the White House declined to make Miller available to testify before Congress...

California Now Wants to Force Every Restaurant Customer to Pay 1% ‘Global Warming Tax’

{ godfatherpolitics.com } ~ Here we go again with California politicians stealing money from citizens, and this time they want to charge every restaurant customer a one percent tax to combat global warming... Legislators in Sacramento are pushing a bill to add the one percent tax to your lunch and dinner costs for the Restore California Renewable Restaurants act. These first measures would have restaurants automatically putting the one percent tax onto everyone’s bill but will also allow them the option of taking the tax off if customers complain that they don’t want to pay it. Restaurant owners have the option of charging customers an additional 1% on their bills that would go to help stop climate change. Payments will be gathered by the California Air Resources Board and spent on implementing carbon plans on farms and ranches across California, boosting healthy soil, according to the Perrenial Farming Initiative. “There’s always going to be the people who say, why is this on the bill? I don’t want to pay it. I don’t care what it’s for. I don’t want to pay it,” Christopher Barnum-Dann, the owner of Localis, said.  “We’re not asking our fixed-income people to pay that on their property tax. We’re asking that of someone who had made a choice to go out and spend money,” resident, John Peters, said. Of course, what will eventually happen if this bill is passed into law? You know. Eventually the tax will be made mandatory, not voluntary. You know that will happen. “Organizers say 1% might not sound like a lot, but if enough restaurants sign-up, it would add up quickly,” CBS said... I guess you will be eating out least.

Senator Wyden's Very Bad Idea for More Taxes
by Chris J. Krisinger

{ americanthinker.com } ~ Oregon's liberal Democratic senator Ron Wyden most likely knew from the get-go that his idea for new taxes on assets and investments wouldn't get a lot of traction... so much so that a news release, tweet, or bulletin taking credit for his own proposal can't be found on the senator's official website. Yet Senator Wyden, who is the ranking member of the Senate's Finance Committee, in early April told the financial press he is developing a "mark-to-market" approach to tax  unrealized capital gains. In simple terms, he proposes a levy — a tax — on investments like real estate or stocks based on valuations of their holdings each year, with all annual gains treated like income — even gains that have not been realized. This "mark-to-market" accounting practice of updating the value of an asset would tax all capital gains like income at a maximum rate of 37 percent. The present capital gains tax functions this way: when capital assets like stocks or real estate are bought, the purchase price becomes the "cost basis," and when they are sold, the difference between the cost basis and the sale price becomes a "capital gain." With a couple stipulations involving the length of time an asset is held i.e., long- or short-term and breakpoints based on a taxpayer's overall income, the current capital gains tax in the U.S. ranges between 15 percent and 23.8 percent.  When an asset is sold for a profit after a year or more, it is taxed at long term rates, while rates if assets are sold after less than a year — i.e., short term — generally equate to ordinary income tax rates. So what could possibly go wrong with systematic annual taxation that would be extraordinarily difficult and complex to implement, while loaded with potential to disrupt and devastate the nation's financial markets? First and foremost: compliance and its associated costs. Would it even be humanly possible to annually value the wide array of capital assets that constitute our nation's economy? How do you go about fairly valuing — without transactions to price them — everything from venture capital to private debt to stock options to cyclical businesses to illiquid real estate and beyond?... What makes Wyden an tax expert.

In Defense of Kate Smith

Cal Thomas
 

The long arm of the PC police has reached back to the ‘30s and arrested, prosecuted and sentenced the late singer Kate Smith. Smith, who popularized Irving Berlin’s song “God Bless America” and was a female pioneer in early television, recorded songs that today in hindsight are viewed as racist.

An old friend, Harry Covert, writes to recall the early days of black-and-white TV when he (and I) watched Kate Smith’s television program. Covert remembers one show interrupted by a news bulletin announcing the attempted assassination of Harry S. Truman by militant Puerto Rican activists. He notes that today’s Puerto Ricans are not smeared by that incident, so why is Smith being figuratively tarred and feathered?

In 1940, Irving Berlin, the Russian-born composer, established the God Bless America Fund “for the benefit of the youth of America,” donating the proceeds from the song’s royalties to the Boy and Girl Scouts of America. Yankees baseball great Joe DiMaggio was a trustee on the GBA Fund.

Smith, along with many other celebrities, donated her time to entertain troops during World War II. The PC crowd gives her no credit for that. The New York Yankees, an organization that should be proud of such history and DiMaggio’s association with it, stopped playing “God Bless America” at their games. The Philadelphia Flyers, which at one time asked Smith to sing the song live at their hockey games because when she did the team usually won, has also banned her voice.

As in so many cases with political correctness, the standard is unequally applied. What about Southern Democrats who approved of slavery and Jim Crow laws, poll literacy tests and opposed civil rights legislation? One of them, Sen. Richard Russell (D-GA), has a Senate office building named for him.

Then there is Sen. Robert Byrd, a Democrat from West Virginia. Not only was Byrd a member of the Ku Klux Klan, rising to the level of Exalted Cyclops in the bigoted organization, he spoke favorably of the Klan during the early stages of his political career. In 1956, Byrd wrote to the organization’s imperial wizard: “The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia.”

During his 1958 Senate campaign when he was 41, Byrd said his membership in the Klan was “the most egregious mistake I’ve ever made.” Still, in a 2001 interview on Fox News Sunday, in response to a question about race relations, Byrd, then 83, said, “I’ve seen a lot of white n—s in my time.” He later apologized for the remark.

When it comes to naming buildings and other projects after politicians, The Daily Gazette in Schenectady, N.Y., editorializes against the practice: “There’s a state park on Long Island and a parkway near Niagara Falls named after Robert Moses. Moses was a 20th-century urban planner who was later revealed in the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, 'The Power Broker,’ as a ruthless abuser of political power with racist tendencies who pushed through many major infrastructure projects that New York City residents now revile. Should his name be on public highways and parks?”

How far are we willing to take this retro-cleansing of American history? The Arlington County, Virginia Board may decide as early as this week to rename Jefferson Davis Highway, which runs through Arlington and Alexandria. Davis’ offense was being the president of the Confederacy. They have already renamed Washington-Lee High School, because of Robert E. Lee.

As for Kate Smith, when these imposers of the present on the past accomplish anything benefiting America, as did the singer and Irving Berlin, then we can talk. In the meantime, why not focus on efforts that will significantly help the poor and disenfranchised, such as school choice? Meaningless symbolism improves nothing.  ~The Patriot Post

Letter to NM U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (Re: Mueller Report)

Posted by Jake Martinez on April 27, 2019 at 2:30pm

4063758287?profile=original

I wanted to take the liberty sharing a letter with you that I recently received from our NM U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich, along with my response to his letter regarding the Mueller report:

Letter from and my response to NM U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich:

April 27, 2019

Dear Senator Heinrich,

On or about April 27, 2019, I received the following email from your office regarding the Mueller report:

“From: Senator Martin Heinrich (donotreply@heinrich.senate.gov)

To:  Jake Martinez

Date: Saturday, April 27, 2019, 12:51 PM MDT

Dear Friend,

I hope you can take a moment to watch and share a video I just released on where we should go following last week's public release of a redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's final report.

{…}

VIDEO: U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich delivers Weekly Democratic Address on the Mueller report, April 26, 2019.

As the Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report lays out, in painstaking detail, there was rampant criminality surrounding President Trump's campaign and his administration. Indisputable intelligence has established that a systematic, wide-ranging Russian election interference operation aimed to bolster President Trump's campaign. Many in the Trump orbit, including Donald Trump himself, openly sought to benefit from and even encouraged Russia's interference in our election. The president and his team then repeatedly lied to the American people and tried to cover up these reckless and criminal activities. President Trump engaged in multiple efforts to hinder the investigation into Russian interference. In a number of cases, the report finds plenty of evidence to support a charge of obstruction of justice.

It is now Congress's job to conduct the oversight hearings and investigations necessary to hold President Trump and his administration accountable. Congress needs the full, un-redacted Mueller report.  Robert Mueller should testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee.  We need more information - not less - to help the American people understand what really happened here. But what we already know is appalling. President Trump and his team have engaged in a shocking pattern of lies, incompetence, and obstruction. They have even lied about the Special Counsel's report and what it says. It is now clear that we have a president who nefariously pursues his personal interests over those of the American people. Instead of waking up each morning to serve others, he instead lashes out at those who challenge his lies and self-serving dealings.

The fundamental principles that our nation stands for--democracy and justice--are facing a critical test. We must be vigilant in defending all that our great nation stands for, which means fighting for the truth and ensuring the public can trust their elected leaders once again.

Sincerely,

MARTIN HEINRICH

United States Senator”

For your information, I have taken the time to download and read the redacted Mueller report in its entirety and do not agree with your statement that ‘there was rampant criminality surrounding President Trump's campaign and his administration’ and am taking the liberty of sharing the following recent article in its entirety with you, which I believe supports my take on said report:   

Mueller Is Done, but the Democrats' MAGA Obstruction Continues: Democrats have spent the last two years using their "Russia collusion" subterfuge to undermine real progress for all Americans — and will spend the next two years doing the same thing!-Posted on The Patriot Post-By Mark Alexander-On April 24, 2019:

“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)

The Mueller v Trump charade may have concluded, but the Democrats v America charade remains in full swing.

Most Americans want political leadership that is, first and foremost, dedicated to promoting a domestic agenda that is good and right for our nation. On a personal level, we want safe communities to raise our families, good jobs that provide income so we can afford to support our families, and a sense of security about our future and that of our nation.

Those of us who are military families have more at stake. Democrats constantly endeavor to undermine the president’s foreign-policy agenda by undermining his office. At a time when Donald Trump is dealing with critical national-security issues, some of which have been neglected for decades including the crisis on our southern border, that endangers our military personnel.

Democrats often repeat the mantra that they are doing “the work of the American people.” But all they have to offer is their vitriolic “Hate Trump” platform that feeds the anger and fear of their increasingly deranged constituents.

Donald Trump has genuinely endeavored to make America a better country for all of its citizens — and in many respects has accomplished that despite that Democrats’ best efforts to obstruct that agenda.

But Democrats have spent the last two years using their “Russia collusion” subterfuge to undermine progress for all Americans — because that progress threatens their power. They will spend the next two years doing the same thing.

To that end, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), along with her House tag team of Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Intel Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), are desperate to keep their collusion/obstruction narrative alive.

Last Thursday, Attorney General William Barr delivered his remarks ahead of the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s lightly redacted 448-page report — the findings of his 675-day, $35 million investigation into alleged collusion between Donald Trump and Russia in order to influence the 2016 election.

The origins of those allegations were fabricated in a fake dossier funded by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and her Democrat Party cronies. It was then used by Barack Obama’s corrupt deep-state operatives in the FBI and CIA as the basis for a FISA warrant, which then allowed them to spy on the Trump campaign and ultimately to appoint a special prosecutor to “investigate” Donald Trump and his associates.

The purpose for setting up this two-year sham investigation served no other purpose than to obstruct Trump’s political agenda and potentially even find grounds for his removal from office. Arguably, this was the most dangerous and disgraceful episode in American political history.

The “bottom line,” according to Barr: “After nearly two years of investigation, thousands of subpoenas, and hundreds of warrants and witness interviews, the special counsel confirmed that the Russian government sponsored efforts to illegally interfere with the 2016 presidential election but did not find that the Trump campaign or other Americans colluded in those schemes.”

Three weeks ahead of the Mueller Report’s release, Barr provided an executive summary in which he concluded, “The Special Counsel’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.”

The full Mueller Report bears out that assessment. As former U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy declared, “It cleared the president of the vacant collusion allegation that Democrats peddled for two years.”

As Barr noted, “The White House fully cooperated with the special counsel’s investigation, providing unfettered access to campaign and White House documents, directing senior aides to testify freely… The president took no act that in fact deprived the special counsel of the documents and witnesses necessary to complete his investigation. … [Mueller’s] evidence of non-corrupt motives weighs heavily against any allegation that the president had a corrupt intent to obstruct the investigation.”

Barr’s summary also concluded that Trump, “in the interest of transparency and full disclosure,” did not assert executive privilege to withhold information from Mueller, although it would’ve been well within his rights to do so. And all redactions were done in accordance with Department of Justice protocols for protecting ongoing investigations and national-security sources and methods.

Does that sound like a president who’s trying to obstruct justice?

KEY REPORT FINDINGS…

The report completely debunks the veracity of the Trump-Russia dossier, which was the premise for this entire Democrat-concocted enterprise.

The report also deflates several extraordinary claims promoted by the Demo/Leftmedia propaganda machine. Among those would be: Carter Page, whose supposed Russian connection was the basis for the FISA warrant, which was the basis for the investigation, should never have been targeted; Trump never directed his lawyer, Michael Cohen, to lie to Congress; Cohen did not travel to Prague; Cohen’s conversation with a Russian had nothing to do with collusion; Trump’s interim campaign manager, Paul Manafort, was not providing polling data to Vladimir Putin; Trump did not encourage Republicans to soften their position on Ukraine; and, as it turns out, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions was not a Russian agent.

But the report raised serious questions by virtue of omission.

The most significant failure of the report is that it did not evaluate the predicates for the investigation. As Barr noted in his recent congressional testimony, “I think spying [on the Trump campaign] did occur.” He continued, “The question is whether it was adequately predicated. Spying on a political campaign is a big deal.”

As McCarthy makes clear: “If spying is to be conducted under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, then FISA must be followed. To conduct FISA surveillance of an American citizen suspected of being an agent of a foreign power, there must be probable cause that the American citizen is knowingly — not unwittingly — engaged in clandestine activities on behalf of the foreign power; and those clandestine activities must be a probable violation of federal criminal law. Furthermore, by the FBI’s own procedures, approved by the Justice Department, facts are not supposed to be submitted to the FISA Court unless they have been verified.”

McCarthy concluded, “The issue is not the credibility of the person who has assembled the hearsay information; the issue is the credibility of the actual sources of the probable-cause facts.”

Even the Washington Post’s Watergate-era liberal, Bob Woodward, is now calling for an investigation into the FBI and CIA’s reliance on the Steele dossier. “I think it was the CIA pushing this,” he said. “Real intelligence experts looked at this and said ‘No, this is not intelligence; this is garbage,’ and they took it out. … The idea that they would include something like that in one of the great stellar intelligence assessments, as Mueller also found out, is highly questionable.”

Former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova added: “While the Democrats continue to cling to the fantasy that evidence of collusion really is lurking somewhere in the dark recesses of the Mueller report, the report itself makes it clearer than ever what any unbiased observer of the Russia story has been able to see for more than a year: Robert Mueller knew very early on in his investigation that there was no collusion.”

Political analyst Kimberley Strassel concludes in The Wall Street Journal: “President Trump has every right to feel liberated. What the report shows is that he endured a special-counsel probe that was relentlessly, at times farcically, obsessed with taking him out. What stands out is just how diligently and creatively the special counsel’s legal minds worked to implicate someone in Trump World on something Russia- or obstruction-of-justice-related. And how — even with all its overweening power and aggressive tactics — it still struck out.”

Regarding the report’s controversial “Ten Episodes” of possible obstruction, these events are readily dismissible as the actions of a president frustrated by a phony Justice Department investigation seeded by his political enemies and high-level government operatives as part of a coup d'etat to end his presidency or, at the very least, to obstruct his MAGA agenda.

Of course, it’s difficult to establish obstruction of an investigation into a crime that never occurred.

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley says, “Despite identifying 10 troubling episodes that could be defined as acts of obstruction, [Mueller] could not say with confidence that Trump acted with the requisite ‘corrupt intent.’ … Mueller, found ‘substantial evidence’ that Trump wanted to limit the scope of the investigation, but that is not necessarily intent. … Even the best grounds for obstructive intent with Trump seeking to fire Mueller, an order ignored by White House Council, was justified by Trump as based on his fear of a conflict of interest. … Like indictable acts, impeachable acts demand a showing of intent, not simply an array of possible intense.”

Not content with the report’s failure to comport with the Democrats’ agenda, Rep. Adam “Shifty” Schiff has “invited” Mueller to testify before his Intel Committee. But that testimony, if it happens, will provide ample openings for Republicans to ask important questions about the Obama administration hacks who should really be investigated for seeding this hoax.

All that said, one of the most significant findings of the Mueller Report is that, under the Obama administration’s watch, the Russian government engaged in a “sweeping and systemic” campaign of interference through its government sponsored Internet Research Agency, and the Russian Army’s Main Intelligence Directorate, the GRU. According to the report, it was the GRU that hacked the computer networks of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic National Committee, and Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta, along with more than 300 Clinton campaign staffers and others associated with campaigns.

The report also notes that the GRU created the “DCLeaks” and “Guccifer 2.0” fronts that distributed those emails to WikiLeaks anarchist Julian Assange.

KEEPING THE IMPEACHMENT DREAM ALIVE…

As they launch phase two of the coup, Democrats believe that the Mueller Report provides them a roadmap to impeachment.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) was the first Democrat on the crowded 2020 presidential stage to call for Trump’s impeachment. “To ignore a president’s repeated efforts to obstruct an investigation into his own disloyal behavior would inflict great and lasting damage on this country,” she pontificated. “The severity of this misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty. That means the House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the president of the United States. We have a Constitution of the United States. And it says, when a president engages in this kind of activity, then it’s time for impeachment.”

Of course, whenever a leftist mentions the word “Constitution,” we can be confident that whatever follows is complete horse pucky.

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) also got on board: “I believe Congress should take the steps towards impeachment. I believe that we need to get rid of this president.” But she lamented, “I’ve not seen any evidence to suggest that [Senate Republicans] will weigh on the facts instead of on partisan adherence to being protective of this president, and that’s what concerns me and what will be the eventual outcome.”

Nancy Pelosi, in a letter to her House Demos, declared with great drama, “We have to save our democracy. This isn’t about Democrats or Republicans. It’s about saving our democracy. If it is what we need to do to honor our responsibility to the Constitution — if that’s the place the facts take us, that’s the place we have to go.” (If she’d ever bothered to read our Constitution, she might know that we’re a Republic, not a “democracy.”)

Pelosi continued: “While our views range from proceeding to investigate the findings of the Mueller report or proceeding directly to impeachment, we all firmly agree that we should proceed down a path of finding the truth. … it is also important to know that the fax regarding holding the president accountable can be gained outside of impeachment hearings.”

This, of course, has nothing to do with the truth. The Mueller Report has (however one-sidedly) already documented the truth — which is that this entire affair was a Democrat ruse. But their “collective constituency of dunces” will likely not be able to discern that.

To borrow a line from Shakespeare, “The [ladies] doth protest too much, methinks.” Perhaps this is a diversion to head off further investigations into the real criminal actions committed by Obama and Clinton and their deep-state operatives at the DOJ and CIA.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, when asked about whether there is evidence to impeach Trump, paused for a few seconds before responding, “Yeah, I do. If proven, if proven — which hasn’t been proven yet — if proven, some of this would be impeachable, yes. Obstruction of justice, if provable, would be impeachable.”

Weather forecast for DC: a blizzard of subpoenas, which Trump says he will fight!

Nadler insists he wants the entire unredacted Mueller Report released to Congress: “I am open to working with the DoJ to reach a reasonable accommodation for access to these materials, however I cannot accept any proposal which leaves most of Congress in the dark, as they grapple with their duties of legislation, oversight and constitutional accountability.” (Did he just mention the Constitution?)

Of course, the redacted version doesn’t leave “Congress in the dark,” and the Justice Department has already cleared a few lawmakers to read a less-redacted version.

Last but not least, Rep. Adam Schiff insists that there were “without question [acts] within the realm of impeachable offenses.”

Responding brilliantly to this gaggle of Demo accusers, Trump asked, “How do you impeach a Republican President for a crime that was committed by the Democrats?”

Indeed, even CNN’s leftist anchor Wolf Blitzer concluded, “So there you have almost a complete vindication of the president of the United States.”

Even The New York Times begrudgingly concluded, “The 35-page dossier, spiced up with tales of prostitutes and spies, sketched out a hair-raising story more than two years ago. Russian intelligence had used bribery and blackmail to try to turn Donald J. Trump into a source and ally, it said, and the Kremlin was running some Trump campaign aides practically as agents. But the release … of the report … underscored what had grown clearer for months — that … some of the most sensational claims in the dossier appeared to be false, and others were impossible to prove. Mr. Mueller’s report contained over a dozen passing references to the document’s claims but no overall assessment of why so much did not check out.”

The claims didn’t merely “appear to be false.” They were false. As for “why so much did not check out,” again, the claims were false.

But Leftmedia outlets will continue to churn this hoax because, regardless of its merits, it comports with their political agenda and it sells advertising — it’s a big seller!

However, Democrats and their Leftmedia mouthpieces risk public fatigue with their endless fake collusion charade. Recent polls indicate that 0% of American voters think the Russia investigation is the most important issue in the 2020 election, while 54% say they believe the investigation was politically motivated. Notably, only 38% of Americans support the Democrats’ plan to continue the investigation.

Meanwhile, Demos are lining up their next round of fodder to obstruct Trump’s agenda, turning their attention to his tax returns for diversion.

Footnote: I propose that the $35 million bill for Mueller’s investigation be invoiced to the DNC — or perhaps the Clinton crime syndicate.

F.B.I. Warns of Russian Interference in 2020 Race and Boosts Counterintelligence Operations

{nytimes.com} ~ The F.B.I. director warned anew on Friday about Russia’s continued meddling in American elections, calling it a “significant counterintelligence threat.”... The bureau has shifted additional agents and analysts to shore up defenses against foreign interference, according to a senior F.B.I. official. The Trump administration has come to see that Russia’s influence operations have morphed into a persistent threat. The F.B.I., the intelligence agencies and the Department of Homeland Security have made permanent the task forces they created to confront 2018 midterm election interference, senior American national security officials said. “We recognize that our adversaries are going to keep adapting and upping their game,” Christopher A. Wray, the F.B.I. director, said Friday in a speech in Washington, citing the presence of Russian intelligence officers in the United States and the Kremlin’s record of malign influence operations. “So we are very much viewing 2018 as just kind of a dress rehearsal for the big show in 2020,” he said. Mr. Wray’s warnings came after the report by the special counsel, dirty cop-Robert S. Mueller III, laid out in hundreds of pages of detail the interference and influence campaign carried out by Russian operatives in the 2016 election. While American officials have promised to continue to try to counter, block and weaken the Russian intelligence operations, they have complained of a lack of high-level coordination. President Trump has little interest or patience for hearing about such warnings, officials have said...

How the Palestinians Created Their Own Plight

{ freebeacon.com } ~ It is easy to forget that, in 1947, when the United Nations recommended the creation of a Jewish state in Mandatory Palestine, the international body also recommended the creation of an Arab state... what would today be a national home for the Palestinians. The idea was to partition the land into two separate entities—in other words, a two-state solution. Indeed, in 1988, the Palestine National Council described the partition resolution as what "still provides those conditions of international legitimacy that ensure the right of the Palestinian Arab people to sovereignty." Yet at the time of the resolution, the Arabs—no one used the term "Palestinians" then—boycotted the U.N. Special Committee on Palestine, which the General Assembly empowered to make recommendations about the future government of the territory, rejecting both the partition and a single, binational state. Then the Arabs completely, and unambiguously, rejected the General Assembly's partition plan, believing that, once the British left Mandatory Palestine, they would defeat the Jews and control the entire area. Of course the Arabs failed, despite the help of several armies. The Jewish state of Israel, established in 1948, endured, and the Palestinian Arabs, who could have had their own state, remained stateless. Since then, the Palestinians have repeatedly turned down offers of statehood. First, they did not seek the West Bank when Jordan controlled it from 1949 to 1967. Only when the land was back in Israeli control following the Six-Day War did the Palestinians again call it disputed. Twelve years later, Israel worked to offer the Palestinians autonomy, which would have been a major step toward full independence, to no avail. Then in 2000 and 2008, Israel offered the Palestinians control of virtually all of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, with a capital in East Jerusalem. Each time the Palestinians rejected the offer, even waging a violent uprising against the Israelis following the failure in 2000. One would be hard-pressed to find another national independence movement, beyond the Palestinian one, that has turned down formal offers of statehood in the territory they claim. Indeed, the Palestinians have, time and again, set new standards for stubbornness. And yet, despite this history, most of the world seems to blame Israel for the Palestinians' situation. Just look at the recent wave of articles and comments assailing the Jewish state that followed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's election victory earlier this month. Naturally, the New York Times led the charge, "reporting" that, with Netanyahu's reelection, Palestinian families see "no light at the end of the tunnel." In a front-page feature, the Times discusses how the Palestinians are despairing about the stalemate in the peace process. Importantly, the article notes that many Palestinians see the Palestinian Authority, or P.A., for the corrupt, ineffective regime that it is, and that at least some want to make peace with Israel. But look at how the Times portrays the general state of the peace process: Palestinians have wanted to shake free of Israeli domination since the West Bank was first occupied in the Arab-Israeli War of 1967. For more than a quarter-century they have waited for the United States-led peace process to deliver them a state of their own...   https://freebeacon.com/national-security/how-palestinians-created-own-plight/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=effd8c91c2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_26_08_34_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-effd8c91c2-45611665

Pence hits back after speculation that 
FBI tried to infiltrate his team

{axios.com} ~ Vice President Mike Pence's former chief of staff, Josh Pitcock, has responded for the first time to speculation in conservative media outlets that FBI agents wanted to use him... to infiltrate President-elect Trump's transition team in 2016. In a statement to Axios, Pitcock said he had "no contact" with either former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok or former FBI attorney Lisa Page — the officials at the center of the speculation — and "took zero actions on their behalf." Pitcock also said there was "no infiltration through me or my wife," an FBI agent and another focus of the speculation. "Any assertions or speculation to the contrary is unfounded, uninformed and 100% false." But Pence is taking the issue seriously, and is demanding further investigation into the possibility of attempted infiltration into the Trump administration and its 2016 transition team — which started with a letter from top Republican senators raising questions about a text message exchange between the two former FBI officials. “I was deeply offended to learn that two disgraced FBI agents considered infiltrating our transition team by sending a counter intelligence agent to one of my very first intelligence briefings only 9 days after the election," Pence said in a statement to Axios. "This is an outrage and only underscores why we need to get to the bottom of how this investigation started in the first place." "The American people have a right to what happened and if these two agents broke the law and ignored long-standing DOJ policies, they must be held accountable.”... And who order them to.

In Going After Carter Page, Did the FBI 
and DOJ Abuse the FISA Process?

{nationalreview.com} ~ Department of Justice inspector general Michael Horowitz announced in March 2018 that his office was reviewing the DOJ’s and FBI’s “compliance with legal requirements, and with applicable DOJ and FBI policies and procedures... in applications filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) relating to a certain U.S. person.” In other words, he was asking whether the agencies abused their power in getting warrants to surveil by then, former Trump-campaign foreign-policy adviser Carter Page. More than a year later, we still don’t know much about the course of the IG’s investigation. But that may finally be changing. Horowitz has one of the best-caulked tubs in town: His team doesn’t leak. But that’s not the only reason info on the Horowitz investigation has been so hard to come by. In addition, his job doesn’t entail bringing revealing indictments along the way. dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s shop wasn’t particularly leaky either, but long before the special counsel filed his final report, we had learned a lot about where that report was headed. We learned it from looking at who got indicted, what they were indicted for, and the many details in each indictment and descriptive “criminal information.” Those who were paying attention to the special counsel’s various prosecutions couldn’t help but notice that Paul Manafort was jailed for sundry financial improprieties and sheer tackiness don’t forget the ostrich jacket, but not for conspiring with Russia. Similarly, when the special counsel’s office brought a raft of indictments against a group of Russian-military-intelligence hackers, missing was any knowing connection between team Trump and the accused. Indeed, so professional were the hacking operations described in dirty cop-Mueller’s indictment of the Russians that it is hard to imagine what the hackers could possibly have needed from the amateurs in Trump’s orbit. Such details led many to surmise that dirty cop-Mueller had yet to find collusion, deductions that proved correct...

{ freebeacon.com } ~ A Connecticut professor will recover thousands of dollars that his university's union improperly seized from his paycheck... The American Association of University Professors union (AAUP) at the University of Connecticut has returned $5,251.48 to Steven Utke under a settlement filed on April 5. The agreement headed off litigation that could have further cemented legal precedent barring labor organizations from continuing to reinforce dues deductions from worker paychecks. AAUP entered into it on the condition that the payment "shall not be considered or construed as an admission of a liability or wrongdoing," while pledging to no longer go after Utke, an accounting professor, for further payments. "The AAUP agrees that it will neither seek to collect nor accept future dues or fees deducted from the Plaintiff's wages unless he affirmatively chooses to become a member of AAUP and authorizes the deductions," the agreement says. The union did not respond to request for comment about the suit or settlement...

Electric Vehicles Leave Outsized 
Carbon Footprint

Business Review Board:  A new study performed by scientists in Germany has found that electric vehicles account for more CO2 emissions than diesel cars. The authors of the study also criticized European Union legislation, saying, “[It] allows electric vehicles to be included in calculations for fleet emissions with a value of ‘zero’ CO2 emissions, as this suggests that electric vehicles do not generate any such emissions. The reality is that, in addition to the CO2 emissions generated in the production of electric vehicles, almost all EU countries generate significant CO2 emissions from charging the vehicles’ batteries using their national energy production mixes. The authors also take a critical view of the discussion about electric cars in Germany, which centers around battery-operated vehicles when other technologies also offer great potential: hydrogen-powered electric vehicles or vehicles with combustion engines powered by green methane, for instance.”
 

One of the most obvious objections to how electric vehicles are marketed is the dubious claim that these cars are essentially pollution free. While it is true that during operation the vehicles produce no polluting emissions, what is conveniently overlooked is the emissions given off when producing the electricity that powers these vehicles. Moreover, the process for constructing the batteries needed for these vehicles to run produces a high amount of pollution given the overall energy output.

As the Brussels Times reports, “Mining and processing the lithium, cobalt and manganese used for batteries consume a great deal of energy. A Tesla Model 3 battery, for example, represents between 11 and 15 tonnes of CO2. Given a lifetime of 10 years and an annual travel distance of 15,000 kilometres, this translates into 73 to 98 grams of CO2 per kilometre, scientists Christoph Buchal, Hans-Dieter Karl and Hans-Werner Sinn noted in their study. The CO2 given off to produce the electricity that powers such vehicles also needs to be factored in, they say. When all these factors are considered, each Tesla emits 156 to 180 grams of CO2 per kilometre, which is more than a comparable diesel vehicle produced by the German company Mercedes, for example.”

The study’s authors conclude that “hydrogen-powered electric vehicles or vehicles with combustion engines powered by green methane” would be a better means to reduce vehicle pollution than battery-powered vehicles.  ~The Patriot Post

{ spectator.org } ~ A single word describes the many policy prescriptions offered by the various presidential candidates: nonstarter. Green New Deal? Nonstarter? Baby bonds? Nonstarter. Medicare for All? Reparations? Guaranteed income? Nonstarter, nonstarter, nonstarter... The federal government cannot afford any ambitious new spending program because what Warren Buffett calls “the hungry tapeworm of the American economy” also drains the federal government of the ability to embark on anything monumental. Healthcare spending amounted to about five percent of the federal budget in 1968. Today it accounts for almost a third of all federal spending. The money that scumbag-Cory Booker wants to spend on baby bonds and Elizabeth dinky-Warren seeks to use to make college tuition free is already spoken for. The growth of healthcare spending within the federal budget stems from the growth of healthcare spending within the entire economy. The more we spend as citizens, the more the government spends in an effort to alleviate that burden, which seems to inflate costs, which tends to increase the volume for government to defray costs. Changes within American society, including obesity, an aging population, and a greater litigiousness, surely contribute to rising medical costs. But other factors, particularly the Droste effect of burdens fueling programs fueling burdens, more greatly account for the inflationary spiral. Americans now spend greater than $10,000 per citizen annually on healthcare costs. This amounts to about $3.5 trillion annually, or about 18 percent of the gross domestic product. And as the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services projects, spending on healthcare figures to increase 5.5 percent annually over the next nine years to a grand total of $5.7 trillion (19.7 percent of GDP) by 2026. Iceberg ahead? Yes, but iceberg already here. The magic number is $7,000. Americans spending $7,000 annually instead of $10,000 would free $1 trillion in the total economy for other purposes. This includes about $400 million in federal money. Shooting for $7,000 unleashes the economy, shrinks the deficit, and frees up money for spending, tax cuts, or whatever else those in power wish to do...   https://spectator.org/nonstarters/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=fddb3680c0-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_26_01_53&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-fddb3680c0-104608113

{ dailycaller.com } ~ scumbag/commie-John Brennan said Friday he is “absolutely” willing to testify to Congress to rebut President Donald Trump’s claims... that the former CIA director took part in a “coup” to undermine his presidency. scumbag/comie-Brennan said in an interview on MSNBC, where he is a contributor, that he would “welcome any type of continued investigation of what we did that period of time that we were in government.” Republicans have called for investigations into the CIA and FBI’s activities in the run-up to the investigation of the Trump campaign. The FBI formally opened its investigation of the Trump team on July 31, 2016, but some GOP lawmakers have suggested that scumbag/commie-Brennan was working behind the scenes to gather intelligence on Trump advisers before that. Trump listed scumbag/commie-Brennan along with other scumbag/liar-nObama administration officials he claims tried to “overthrow” his administration, in an interview Thursday with Fox’s Sean Hannity. “This was a coup, this was an attempted overthrow of the United States government,” said Trump. “These are sick people. These are sick, sick people,” he continued, adding: “Let’s see what happens with former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey and scumbag/commie-Brennan and former National Intelligence Director scumbag-James Clapper, they were in on the act.” scumbag/commie-Brennan responded on MSNBC, saying that “I don’t think it’s surprising at all that we continue to hear these sociopathic ramblings of Mr. Trump claiming that there was this effort to try prevent him from being elected or to unseat him.” “I welcome any type of continued investigation of what we did that period of time that we were in government,” he continued. “I’ve testified in front of Congress … and absolutely I’ll do it again.”... And once again lies.

When did dirty cop-Mueller know 
there was no collusion?

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Trump-Russia special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller was appointed May 17, 2017. Twenty-two months later, on March 22, 2019, dirty cop-Mueller sent his report to the Justice Department... Some special counsel investigations have taken longer; it is the nature of such probes to drag on and on. But why did dirty cop-Mueller need nearly two years to determine whether the Trump campaign and Russia conspired or coordinated to fix the 2016 election? He didn't, it appears. In the wake of the release of dirty cop-Mueller's report, there are indications that special counsel prosecutors mostly knew by the end of 2017, and certainly by a few months later, that the evidence would not establish that conspiracy or coordination — or collusion, to use the popular term — had taken place. dirty cop-Mueller clearly spent a lot of time on the other half of his report — trying to establish that Trump obstructed justice — but on the most explosive and consequential allegation of the Trump-Russia affair, the conspiracy allegation, the dirty cop-Mueller investigation was essentially over long before it officially ended." By early December, dirty cop-Mueller had exhausted all of the evidence and the witnesses," John Dowd, who was the president's lawyer for the first 10 months of the investigation, said in a recent podcast interview. Dowd dealt with White House witnesses, and the president urged those White House staffers to talk to dirty cop-Mueller and provide him with documents early in the investigation. They did. The president's team also had joint defense agreements with others who talked to dirty cop-Mueller. That allowed Trump lawyers to know what witnesses were telling prosecutors. By the end of 2017, Dowd and others thought that dirty cop-Mueller had gotten everything he could get on the question of conspiracy and coordination. "We told the special counsel's office in various ways that they had everything," Dowd said in a phone conversation Wednesday. "We knew what the witnesses were saying, and they knew that we knew. They knew we debriefed people."...

{ theintercept.com } ~  Lewis was living in Connecticut and was nine credits away from his MBA when the neighborhood he had spent his life trying to get away from came back to haunt him... Growing up in a mostly poor and at times violent section of the Bronx, Lewis had seen his share of illegal activity. Some of those behind the criminality — mostly low-level drug dealing — were his friends. Lewis hung out with them while also keeping focused on school. Education was his ticket to a different life, his mother always said, and no one could take that away from him. She was wrong. Three years ago this week, helicopters and armored vehicles swarmed Lewis’s old neighborhood, and SWAT teams and some 700 officers with the NYPD and a host of federal law enforcement agencies knocked down doors at the Eastchester Gardens public housing project and nearby homes. At the same time, 40 miles and a world away, police showed up at the loft apartment Lewis shared with his girlfriend in the seaside city of Bridgeport. Lewis, who had no criminal record and had never been arrested before, was taken away in handcuffs while his 6-year-old son was asleep in his bed. Police drove Lewis to the local station and then back to the Bronx, to a police precinct where he saw dozens of his childhood friends, some for the first time in years. Lewis was one of 120 people, almost all young black and Latino men, who were indicted following that pre-dawn raid as part of what prosecutors called the “largest gang takedown in New York City history.” According to Preet Bharara, then U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, the 120 were members of two violent, rival street gangs that had “wreaked havoc” in the neighborhood for years and were responsible for at least eight murders. “These gang members do not belong on our streets,” William Bratton, then NYPD commissioner, said at a press conference the day after the raid. “Instead they belong exactly where they are going, to federal prison, for many years, where they won’t be surrounded by their buddies, they won’t be close to their families, and they’ll no longer be free to terrorize the neighborhoods in which they grew up.” The raid made news for a couple days, with mostly sensationalized headlines and images peddling police and prosecutors’ claims about those swept up in the bust. But few reporters followed up. Now a new report, published ahead of the raid’s third anniversary and shared exclusively with The Intercept, reveals troubling details about the prosecution and raises serious questions about due process, the abuse of federal conspiracy charges, and the criminalization of social relationships in communities of color...

{foxnews.com} ~ Beleaguered Justice Department No. 2 Rod Rosenstein  raised eyebrows Thursday night with a private speech in which he took a swipe at the scumbag/liar-nObama administration... and slammed ex-FBI boss scumbag-James Comey. Rosenstein, the U.S. deputy attorney general who supervised the dirty cop-Mueller investigation, spoke out publically for the first time since the report was released, criticizing the scumbag/liar-nObama administration’s real-time reaction to Russian hacking and its decision "not publicize the full story" to the American people. Rosenstein, who was speaking in New York at the Public Servants Dinner of the Armenian Bar Association, defended his handling of the probe and criticized former officials in the process. He also called out former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey for alerting Congress about the investigation into Russian collusion at the height of the 2016 presidential campaign. “The FBI disclosed classified evidence about the investigation to ranking legislators and their staffers,” he said. “Someone selectively leaked details to the news media. The FBI director scumbag-Comey announced at a congressional hearing that there was a counterintelligence investigation that might result in criminal charges. Then the former FBI director alleged that the president pressured him to close the investigation, and the president denied that the conversation occurred. "So that happened,” he joked. The scumbag/liar-nObama administration has been criticized for its handling of the Russian interference. Trump has blamed scumbag/liar-nObama for not acting quickly enough to stem Russia’s influence during the campaign...   https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rosenstein-slams-obama-administration-for-choosing-not-to-publicize-full-story-of-russia-hacking

College: An Overpriced Scam
t5oUAHxe7iqFOPl_F8p6kGln6iupHXuPlCxK35DYvg_KYj3W5iH1qGdhgu5MNd-tZ6W0Z3ppCr-Li5ItT21avWy-7EiKifgqdrFH-IcXD_DqzV3svebvKmStfxL79lO9kav0nbaNi-gJJZE-Rq8FkkTCaD8I4yYFxiHcf9M=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Arnold Ahlert:  “You don’t have to be rich or famous to believe that your kid is doomed to fail if they don’t get a four-year degree. There are millions of parents in the country right now … who genuinely feel that if they don’t do everything they can to get their kid into a good school, they will fail the kid.” —Mike Rowe

Rowe appeared on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show to address the college-admissions scandal. Yet far better, he explained that college has become the most over-priced scam in the nation, saddling thousands of young Americans with decades of student-loan repayments. Repayments that have forced them to postpone activities like buying a house, getting married, or having children.

Postponements that are now impacting the entire U.S. economy.

“Where’s the outrage for the pressure that we’ve put on a 17-year-old to borrow $100,000?” Rowe asks. “So much of that pressure comes from their mom and dad. It’s well-intended, but it’s kinda tragic.”

Rowe further notes that parental pressure is amplified by high-school guidance counselors, politicians, lobbyists, and employers.

The results? Rowe says, “We promoted the one thing at the expense of all of the others and the one thing just happened to be the most expensive thing.”

Expensive is an understatement. As measured by the Consumer Price Index, the cost of college since 1985 has increased at nearly quadruple the rate of inflation. In a single decade from 2007 to 2017, college tuition skyrocketed 63%, school housing 51%, and textbooks 88%.

As a result, total student-loan debt — now more than $1.5 trillion and counting — is the second-highest segment of consumer debt, trailing only mortgage obligations. Moreover, default rates are now more than 10%, making them the highest segment of household debt in the nation.

In the meantime, Americans trapped by this increasingly onerous dynamic never get around to asking an essential question: Why do most employers require a college degree, even when one is not necessary to perform job-related actives?

One of the main reasons has to do with a 1971 Supreme Court decision in Griggs v. Duke Power Co.. Prior to the ruling, Duke Power restricted workers without a high-school diploma to menial jobs, unless they could pass an aptitude test. Griggs and other black American employees filed suit, claiming that the company’s requirements were discriminatory under the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

SCOTUS unanimously agreed, ruling that employers could only require educational credentials that were reasonably job-related. Furthermore, any company’s educational or testing qualifications that engendered “disparate impact” were in violation of the law.

The implication? In a 2008 paper, “Griggs v. Duke Power: Implications for College Credentialing,” authors Bryan O'Keefe and Richard Vedder explained that many employers, knowing that aptitude testing and high-school diplomas had become legally hazardous, began using college degrees to screen out applicants they didn’t want to hire. “Griggs turned the college degree into a ‘credential,’” the authors explained. “The content of the education did not change, but the degree — the sheepskin — became a necessary first step for a decent job.”

Is it? As columnist (and Yale graduate) Kyle Smith asserts, “An elite-college degree isn’t an instrument or a tool; it doesn’t have to lead to anything. It’s a status symbol in itself.”

More troubling, colleges are also the places where “a single orthodoxy about the origins of man, about American history, and about how America should be governed” is now imparted to the nation’s Ruling Class, as Boston University professor emeritus Angelo Codevilla explains.

Yet the most salient aspect of this ongoing scam is revealed by columnist Mark Hemingway. “Credentialism creates the illusion of knowledge and capability where none exists,” he explains.

Rowe heartily agrees. “Seven million jobs are available now; most of them don’t require a four-year degree,” he states. “They require training. And yet we’re obsessed, not really with education, you know. What we are obsessed with is credentialing. And so people are buying diplomas. And they’re buying their degrees. It’s a diploma dilemma, honestly. It’s expensive. It is getting worse. It’s not just the kids holding the note. It is us.”

“Us” is the American taxpayer who bears the ultimate burden for any and all student-loan defaults. Thus, colleges themselves, which bear no burden whatsoever, can raise costs with impunity.

Enter Democrat presidential candidate Elizabeth dinky-Warren, who promises to “fix” the problem — from exactly the wrong end of the equation. Rather than take on the entire government-backed, taxpayer-underwritten student-loan program that fuels the cost spiral, she proposes what amounts to rank vote-buying: Warren pledges to cancel almost all student-loan debt for 42 million students, which would cost taxpayers a staggering one time payment of $642 billion.

Following that shakedown, she proposes “universal free college,” paid for by her “Ultra-Millionaire Tax — a 2% annual tax on the 75,000 families with $50 million or more in wealth.”

That dinky-Warren is comfortable promoting the idea of borrowing money and not honoring one’s commitment to pay it back is bad enough. Yet the utter failure to control costs — and the nerve to use to the word “free” as it relates to those costs — is astounding. Americans might ask themselves how a Harvard professor can be as morally bankrupt and economically ignorant as Warren appears to be.

In 2016, University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Harlan Reynolds addressed the credentialing dilemma, stating, “If you want equality, the best thing to do is to ban employers from asking students where they went to school and, perhaps, even if they went to college at all.”

The quality dilemma? Require colleges to publish data on student graduation rates, the level of debt they’ve accumulated, and what they earn after graduating, so potential enrollees know exactly what they’re getting before they go into debt.

The pricing dilemma? Make colleges partially liable for all student-loan defaults, incentivizing them to offer students the marketable skills that would prevent such defaults. Despite what people like Warren believe, “skin in the game” is the best cost controller there is.

Most important, a national conversation must be engendered to disabuse Americans of the long-orchestrated fear that the only choices they have are college or eternal mediocrity. Eternal indebtedness is closer to the truth — which might even be tolerable if it were a genuine education one was receiving in return.

Far too often, it’s not. “Since the 1970s, it has been virtually impossible to flunk out of American colleges,” Codevilla explains. “And it is an open secret that ‘the best’ colleges require the least work and give out the highest grade point averages.” Why? Because “our ruling class recruits and renews itself not through meritocracy but rather by taking into itself people whose most prominent feature is their commitment to fit in.”

And what has that “commitment to fit in” precipitated? An arrogant, “credentialed” Ruling Class that has given America a $22 trillion national debt, manufactured tribalism, un-winnable wars, and defenseless borders, all while holding “deplorable” Americans in utter contempt.

If college is the “answer,” Americans are asking the wrong questions.  ~The Patriot Post

{ westernjournal.com } ~ I was listening to a book recently, which covered Robert F. Kennedy’s metamorphosis from supporter to foe of the infamous McCarthy hearings during the “Red Scare” of the 1950s... and was struck by the parallels to the current targeting of President Donald Trump and his associates. House Democrats like Judiciary Committee Chairman scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler and Intelligence Committee Chairman scumbag-Adam Schiff, who are in the midst of launching multiple investigations following the release of special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s Russia report, would do well to learn from RFK’s experience. Though a lifelong Democrat, Kennedy took a position on Republican Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations as an assistant counsel early in his legal career in 1952. McCarthy was a friend of the family and Kennedy strongly believed in the committee’s mission of rooting out communists and Soviet sympathizers believed to be lurking within the federal government. There were legitimate concerns at the time that the Soviets Russians were actively trying to undermine the U.S both at home and abroad. The Senate hearings were taking place in the aftermath of the criminal trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were convicted in 1951 and later executed for spying on behalf of Moscow, including handing over vital nuclear weapons technology. A pivotal moment in McCarthy’s hearings came in 1954 when the Wisconsin senator targeted the U.S. Army. Kennedy had left his position working for the lawmaker the previous year having only served for six months because he was disgusted by the tactics being employed by the senator and chief counsel on the committee, including the baseless accusations being made against American citizens. In February 1954, during the McCarthy-Army hearings, Kennedy returned to the committee, but this time working for the Democratic minority...

{ lidblog.com } ~ Something’s smells rotten. Federal Election Commission (FEC) records reveal that BuzzFeed was paid $1.5 million during the 2016 campaign... by the Democratic PAC Priorities USA Action. Twitter user @2xwide dreaming who goes by the nom de plume of “HRC’s Field Sobriety Test” gets a 21-gun salute for digging up this information and revealing this fascinating tidbit on Tuesday: The FEC records show that the PAC made two payments to BuzzFeed, one on 4 August 2016 in the amount of $1,000,000, and one on 28 September 2016 for $500,000.*As @2xwide dreaming notes, there are no other transactions like these in the FEC database. If you visit the FEC website this link is as serviceable a portal as any; you can run different searches from it, you can verify that that statement is comprehensively true.The payments to BuzzFeed in 2016, two from Priorities USA Action and one from Americans for Responsible Solutions, are the only ones of their kind. BuzzFeed is not listed as a recipient in any other FEC-recorded transactions, from 2007 to 2019. Moreover, no other media site with a profile even somewhat similar to BuzzFeed’s is a recipient of PAC-type bulk payments for “online advertising” or “digital ad buys” in any form...    https://lidblog.com/prioritiesusa-action-buzzfeed/

Trump On loose lips-Biden: 
‘Not The Brightest Light Bulb’

by Scott Morefield
{ dailycaller.com } ~ President Donald Trump said recently announced 2020 Democratic presidential contender loose lips-Joe Biden is “not the brightest light bulb in the group.”... During a Thursday night phone interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Trump was asked about the former vice president’s just-announced entry into the race.“Well, I don’t know who it is going to be,” Trump said. “Maybe commie-Sanders or maybe loose lips-Biden. I think that, you know, when you look at loose lips-Joe, I have known loose lips-Joe over the years. He’s not the brightest light bulb in the group, I don’t think, but he has a name that they know.” Trump referred to loose lips-Biden’s “little cute statements about me” and “the way the world is today” before citing a laundry list of accomplishments such as giving veterans choice in healthcare, the recently passed tax cut, regulatory rollbacks, and the strong U.S. economy. The president famously welcomed “Sleepy loose lips-Joe” to the race Thursday morning via Twitter. “Welcome to the race Sleepy loose lips-Joe,” Trump wrote. “I only hope you have the intelligence, long in doubt, to wage a successful primary campaign. It will be nasty – you will be dealing with people who truly have some very sick & demented ideas. But if you make it, I will see you at the Starting Gate!” Besides being the subject of recent media scrutiny for a tendency to put his hands in all the wrong places, loose lips-Biden has long been the subject of jokes for his many gaffes and misstatements over his long political career. They include referring to former President scumbag/liar-nObama as having a “big stick” regarding foreign policy, having known three of eight presidents “intimately,” and calling the passage of scumbag/liar-nObamacare a “big f**king deal.”

Border Patrol Cameras Catch Armed Gunmen Dropping Woman, Son Off at Border

{ westernjournal.com } ~ United States Customs and Border Protection released footage this past week of a successful attempt by multiple armed gunmen... to smuggle illegal immigrants across the U.S.-Mexico border. The over two-minute long video from Border Patrol cameras shows five masked men — some armed with assault rifles — pulling up to the border in a large vehicle on Saturday night and aiding a mother and her 8-year-old son sneak through a small segment of fencing into Arizona. “Border Patrol cameras observed several men armed with assault rifles escort a mother and child to the international boundary west of Lukeville,” officials wrote in a description accompanying the video on the  Defense Visual Information Distribution Service website. The video was also posted to U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Twitter account Tuesday. According to the description, the area is “commonly used by smugglers to bring massive numbers of Central Americans into the country illegally.” Border Patrol reports released earlier this year indicate that the Yuma sector has one of the highest family and group apprehension rates of any section of the southern border, with the area between Tuscon and Yuma, Arizona, seeing groups as large as 100 smuggled across the border. Justin Kallinger, a spokesman for the sector, told the Washington Examiner earlier this month that so many as 99 percent of those apprehended in the sector had paid upwards of $1,000 to be smuggled across by armed groups similar to the one shown in Saturday’s video...   https://www.westernjournal.com/watch-border-patrol-cameras-catch-armed-gunmen-dropping-woman-son-off-border/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=patriotupdate&utm_campaign=dailypm&utm_content=libertyalliance

Trump Says He Will Declassify FISA 
in Exclusive ‘Hannity’ Interview
by Jennie Taer

{ saraacarter.com } ~ President Trump said Thursday that he will declassify the FISA applications, the 302s, and the Gang of Eight notebook in an exclusive interview with Sean Hannity... “It will all be declassified. I’m glad I waited because I thought that maybe they would obstruct if I did it early and I think I was right,” said Trump. Moreover, Trump said Attorney General William Barr will can take ‘a very strong look’ at the documents. Sara Carter, who’s been following the Russia probe into the Trump campaign from the start, spoke to this reporter on the importance of the President’s decision to declassify. “Based on the insurmountable evidence that people within the FBI and DOJ were targeting the Trump administration and going so far as to gather sources inside the White House, I think it’s imperative that the President declassify the FISA documents, the 302s, the Gang of Eight notebook, and any other documents that can be declassified into the bureaus investigation into the trump campaign and Russia.” said Carter, “The American people deserve to know the truth and if laws were broken those people should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.” Further, President Trump congratulated three reporters for their findings on the now debunked Russia collusion investigation, Sara Carter was among the three. “Well, I think it’s incredible when you hear it. These are great reporters, all three, and when you have them on your trail, that’s a problem,” said Trump. “These are people that should be getting Pulitzers, not the ones that got the Pulitzers that got everything wrong.”

Trump Digs in Against Dems' 
Impeachment Crusade

Thomas Gallatin:  President Donald Trump has been fighting against Democrats seeking to impeach him since he first took the oath of office. Following the conclusion of dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report, in which Trump was  exonerated of any collusion conspiracy, the wind may have been taken out of the Democrats’ impeachment sails, but that hasn’t stopped them from continuing to blow. Instead they insist that dirty cop-Mueller’s findings demand more investigations, as if congressional Democrats will be able to find what dirty cop-Mueller and his team of scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton donors did not find: that Trump committed an actual crime.
 

Clearly, Trump has had enough of this partisan witch hunt. So, rather than bend to the House Democrats and their incessant subpoenas, which they dubiously justify as a needed constitutional check on his executive power, Trump has decided to dig in his heels. “We’re fighting all the subpoenas,” he stated. “Look, these aren’t … impartial people. The Democrats are trying to win 2020. They’re not going to win with the people that I see, and they’re not going to win against me. The only way they can luck out is by constantly going after me on nonsense.” He then concluded, “I say it’s enough.”

Trump is certainly correct in noting that it has been enough, and he is right in observing that all Democrats are aiming for is to take him out. That said, by digging in too much, Trump is potentially playing into their “obstruction” game plan.

Like the dirty cop-Mueller investigation, Democrats don’t really have anything on Trump; their aim is to get him on some procedural obstruction “crime.” Hence, the Dems’ cynical appeal to constitutional “separation of powers.” It is a purely politically calculated strategy that assumes a criminal act on the part of Trump, when there is no actual crime on which to justify their new investigation.

By continuing to peddle the myth of Trump having likely committed a crime, they can then feign concern for constitutional fealty when he balks at their demands. It is true that Congress is a coequal branch of government that has investigative and oversight powers, but that power is grossly abused when it is applied for purely partisan reasons.

John Brennan blasts Trump's 'sociopathic ramblings,' denies participating in a 'coup'

John Brennan blasts Trump's 'sociopathic ramblings,' denies participating in a 'coup'!-Posted on FoxNews.com-By Sam Dorman | Fox News-On April 26, 2019:

Former CIA Director John Brennan pushed back Friday on President Trump's charge that he knew about or participated in an attempt to overthrow the American government.

"I don't think it's surprising at all that we continue to hear the sociopathic ramblings of Mr. Trump claiming that there was this effort to try to prevent him from being elected or to unseat him," he told MSNBC's Hallie Jackson.

Brennan was reacting to comments Trump made during an interview with Sean Hannity on Thursday night.

Trump specifically criticized Brennan, along with former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey, and former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, in the fiery interview.

His comments followed the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report which stopped short of accusing the president of either obstruction of justice or collusion with Russia.

Brennan added he welcomed further investigation into his and other officials' conduct while they served in government. "I've testified in front of Congress ... Absolutely, I'll do it again," he said.

Brennan also disputed Sen. Rand Paul's, R-Ky., claim that he "insisted that the unverified and fake Steele dossier be included in the Intelligence Report."

{…}

Journalist Bob Woodward similarly promoted the idea that the CIA pushed to include the Steele dossier in the intelligence community assessment surrounding Russian election interference.

"That's absolutely incorrect and 180 degrees from the truth. It was CIA that was pushing not to have it included and not to be taken into account at all in that intelligence community assessment."

{ thehill.com } ~ As Donald Trump began his meteoric rise to the presidency, the scumbag/liar-nObama White House summoned Ukrainian authorities... to Washington to coordinate ongoing anti-corruption efforts inside Russia’s most critical neighbor. The January 2016 gathering, confirmed by multiple participants and contemporaneous memos, brought some of Ukraine’s top corruption prosecutors and investigators face to face with members of former President sccumbag/liar-nObama’s National Security Council (NSC), FBI, State Department and Department of Justice (DOJ).The agenda suggested the purpose was training and coordination. But Ukrainian participants said it didn’t take long — during the meetings and afterward — to realize the Americans’ objectives included two politically hot investigations: one that touched Vice President loose lips-Joe Biden’s family and one that involved a lobbying firm linked closely to then-candidate Trump. U.S. officials “kept talking about how important it was that all of our anti-corruption efforts be united,” said Andrii Telizhenko, then a political officer in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington tasked with organizing the meeting. Telizhenko, who no longer works for the Ukrainian Embassy, said U.S. officials volunteered during the meetings — one of which was held in the White House’s Old Executive Office Building — that they had an interest in reviving a closed investigation into payments to U.S. figures from Ukraine’s Russia-backed Party of Regions...

That’s according to a recent Rasmussen Reports poll of 1,000 “likely voters.” According to the poll, 58% said it’s likely that scumbag/liar-nObama or his top aides were aware that U.S. intelligence agencies were spying on the Trump campaign and the Trump transition team. But when it comes to possible accountability, only 31% say it’s likely that criminal charges will be brought against any government employees for that spying. Just 12% say it’s “very likely” that government employees will face criminal charges for the spying.

Project Midan: Building an 
Underground Nuclear Test Site in Iran

by David Albright, Sarah Burkhard, Olli Heinonen, Frank Pabian, and Andrea Stricker  
{fdd.org} ~ An important discovery in the Nuclear Archive seized by Israel was substantial evidence that Iran was building an underground nuclear test site that was expected to be finished by 20041... Iran’s nuclear weapons program, code-named the “Amad Plan,” was developing and building five nuclear weapons, and this program wanted to be ready to test one, if a decision was made to do so. Starting in late 2000, Project Midan, the test program’s code name, created an extensive program to develop and construct an underground test site and instrument it so that the nuclear explosive yield could be determined. Project Midan conducted nuclear test site selection, identified five potential test site locations, built testing-related equipment, and focused on developing approaches, including seismic and other methods, to measure the yield of an underground nuclear test. Despite evidence that Iran had made significant progress on being able to test a nuclear explosive underground, we could not determine with our geospatial satellite imagery analysis and currently available documentation whether construction of a deep shaft started. The work on building a test site appears to have halted when the Amad Plan was downsized and reoriented in late 2003. Given the existence of a post-Amad nuclear weapons program, however, it is logical to assume that Iran may have continued to maintain preparedness to test and work on developing yield prediction methods after 2003. These efforts would be expected to fall in line with the post-Amad reorientation guidelines found in archive documents that aimed to secretly blend certain nuclear weapons activities into civilian programs at universities and research institutes, and maintain separate, secret military programs for other activities that could not be explained by contrived civil or nonnuclear military rationales...

His top ulama Islamic scholars once issued a fatwa that read: "... a father kissing his daughter with lust or caressing her with desire has no effect on the man's marriage". Between August 2014, when he was elected president of Turkey, and April 2016 he sued at least 1,845 people for insulting him, thereby winning the title of "the world's most insulted president". Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan once accused Western Europe of "intolerance that spreads like the plague," and described Belarus, which Western countries describe as a dictatorship, as "a country in which people with different roots live in peace". When Turkey, officially, was the world's biggest jailer of journalists Erdoğan's Islamist party drafted a bill that would release about 3,000 men who married children, including men who raped them. In December 2016, Alperen, an often violent youth group who enthusiastically support Erdoğan, celebrated Christmas and New Year's Eve in Turkey by holding a man dressed as Santa Claus at gunpoint. A headline in an Islamist newspaper also pro-Erdoğan read, "This is our last warning, DO NOT celebrate." In 2017, Erdoğan's law enforcement authorities arrested and indicted a liberal group for terrorism whereas the group had only carried a placard that read: "Let Nuriye and Semih live!" – Nuriye Özakça and Semih Gülmen were two teachers who went on a hunger strike to protest their dismissal from work without a legal pretext. Erdogan's Turkey probably became the first country worldwide where "not wishing death to someone" was a serious crime...

dirty cop-Mueller Is Circling the Drain
by Spike Hampson

{ americanthinker.com } ~ Certain aspects of the process whereby dirty cop-Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel challenge the legitimacy of the entire undertaking... To understand them, we must dip into the legalese surrounding the appointment process, but at least that weighty language is mercifully short. Please read Rod Rosenstein's letter appointing dirty cop-Robert Mueller as special counsel. It is readily available online. The first thing to notice is that Rosenstein's letter explicitly directs dirty cop-Mueller to investigate Trump-Russia collusion and only incidentally extends his investigatory purview to other matters. In short, it does not say dirty cop-Mueller should investigate general Russian government efforts to meddle in our election process. dirty cop-Mueller was free to investigate Russian meddling, but his only true directive was to investigate the Trump campaign. Recent babble about how the dirty cop-Mueller report did wonderful things to expose Russian misdeeds that did not involve the Trump campaign is misdirectional nonsense.  dirty cop-Mueller was never directed to look into Russian meddling in our election, and he never felt disposed to do such a thing in a serious way. It is true that he indicted a bunch of Russians for their social media shenanigans, but that was a superficial effort. We have not had a thorough investigation into how Russia tried to subvert our election process. The second thing to notice in Rosenstein's letter is that it explicitly defines the special counsel's work as a continuation of Crossfire Hurricane — the FBI counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign. Every day now, new releases of previously hidden information are exposing that investigation as an effort to frame the Trump campaign using a fabricated predicate that had no concrete basis. Crossfire Hurricane is proving to be a central element in the bloodless coup that conservatives now believe was launched to topple Trump, so it follows that the dirty cop-Mueller investigation is complicit. Most conservatives already think this is the case, but Rosenstein's letter perhaps makes it possible to hold dirty cop-Mueller and his partisan crowd of investigators legally responsible to some degree...  https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/mueller_is_circling_the_drain.html

Beware scumbag-Soros-Funded Hijacking 
of U.S. Census

Michelle Malkin
 

“Are you a U.S. citizen?”

Only in self-defeating, sovereignty-eroding America is the idea of asking whether people living in America are American citizens for the American census a matter of controversy.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on whether the Trump administration can include a citizenship question on the high-stakes 2020 Census questionnaire. Thank goodness, the conservative majority indicated support for allowing it. There’s already such a question on the annual American Community Survey administered by the Census Bureau. It was asked in long-form questionnaires sent to a sample of households in 2000. And it was regularly asked in historical census forms from 1820-1950.

But we live in a Trump-deranged age, so now it’s tantamount to an international human rights crime to ask anyone about citizenship status at any time for any reason. Heaven forbid we inconvenience or discomfit legal noncitizens or illegal immigrants with a question!

Open borders activists, left-wing immigration lawyers and identity politics radicals exploded on cue:

–Former scumbag/liar-nObama Attorney General scumbag-Eric Holder decried the “unconstitutional and irresponsible action” to “suppress the count in minority communities.”

–The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee fumed about the “political stunt that unfairly targets immigrant communities throughout our country in an attempt to SILENCE immigrants and benefit Republicans.”

–Histrionic social justice actress Alyssa Milano called it an “attack on immigrant communities and our democracy itself.”

–Jorge Luis Vasquez Jr. of Latino Justice, funded by scumbag-George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, vented that a citizenship question would “damage all our daily lives for decades.”

–Kristen Clarke, president of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, another scumbag-Soros-funded outfit, which sued over the citizenship question, blasted the “scheme to hijack the 2020 Census.”

–The scumbag-Soros-funded Asian Americans Advancing Justice lobbying group condemned Trump as “racially and politically motivated.”

Let’s all practice our deep pranayama breathing and ground ourselves in reality. It’s the radical left, much of it fueled with scumbag-Soros’ money, that has hijacked the U.S. Census, not President Donald Trump. “No Illegal Immigrant Left Behind” is crucial to their strategy. Why?

Remember: The Census is used to divvy up seats in the House as a proportion of their population based on the head count. The redistribution of power extends to presidential elections because the Electoral College is pegged to the size of congressional delegations. More people equal more seats. More illegal immigrants equal more power. Indeed, the Center for Immigration Studies determined that in the 2000 election cycle, the presence of noncitizens (illegal immigrants, temporary visitors and green card holders) caused nine seats in the House to switch hands. California added six seats it would not have had otherwise. Texas, New York and Florida each gained a seat. Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin each lost a seat. Montana, Kentucky and Utah each failed to secure a seat they would otherwise have gained.

Our Founding Fathers explicitly warned against the perils of foreigners manipulating representation by overwhelming the country. Immigration scholar and author Daniel Horowitz points to Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story’s prophetic admonition: “If aliens might be admitted indiscriminately to enjoy all the rights of citizens at the will of a single state, the Union might itself be endangered by an influx of foreigners, hostile to its institutions, ignorant of its powers, and incapable of a due estimate of its privileges.”

Statesman Roger Sherman similarly emphasized the need to “guard against an improper mode of naturalization” by states adopting “easier terms.”

Too late. Multiple illegal immigrant amnesties, coupled with massive legal immigration, failure to deport visa overstayers and the metastasis of sanctuary policies, have taken their toll. Moreover, our constitutionally mandated decennial count has become a full-employment program for ideologically driven liberal interest groups cashing in on the census-gathering process and reshaping the electoral landscape. During the last census under President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama, with $300 billion in federal funding at stake, social justice groups from scumbag-Soros-funded ACORN to scumbag-Soros-funded Voto Latino to the scumbag-Soros-allied SEIU were enlisted to count heads and help noncitizens feel “safe.”

The Census boondoggle has become a tax-subsidized national future Democratic voter outreach drive. scumbag-Soros’ operations, along with 77 other liberal foundations, have invested $30 million to make illegal immigrants count. The Open Society Institute’s grantees and partners on coopting the Census for Democrat gains include the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, Miami Workers Center, Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Southwest Workers Union, New York Community Trust, New York Foundation, Center for American Progress, People for the American Way and the Funders Census Initiative. A recently leaked internal board document revealed that the Soros network has coordinated efforts for the past four years to “influence appropriations for the Census Bureau” and add new racial and ethnic categories.

The Census Bureau will need 500,000 temporary workers to conduct the count in what will already be a hyperpolarized election year. However the Supreme Court rules on the citizenship question, the Trump administration must ensure that Open Borders Inc. does not co-opt the enumerator corps. As scumbag-SorosWorld well understands:

Power lies not just with who is being counted, but who’s doing the counting.  ~The Patriot Post
