Trump Moves Closer to Full Unwind of

scumbag/liar-nObama Iran Deal

Political Editors

Friday Top News Executive Summary

Media Editors: GDP ON SOLID FOOTING: “The U.S. economy grew at a solid 3.2% annual rate in the first three months of the year, a far better outcome than expected, overcoming a host of headwinds including global weakness, rising trade tensions and a partial government shutdown. The advance in the gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic health, marks an acceleration from a 2.2% gain in the previous October-December period, the Commerce Department reported Friday. … It was the strongest first quarter growth rate since 2015.” (ABC News)

MORATORIUM ON OFFSHORE DRILLING: “The Trump administration is hitting pause on its ambitious and controversial plans to expand offshore drilling in the Atlantic. Newly confirmed Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said the agency has indefinitely sidelined its exploration of offshore drilling options as it grapples with a recent court order that blocks similar drilling in the Arctic.” (The Hill)

GREEN NEW DUD: “A new study from the American Enterprise Institute questions whether the Green New Deal would have any real impact on climate change at all — leaving it little more than an effort to dismantle industry. The AEI report breaks down the GND into bite-sized policy proposals, assessing not simply the cost, but the proposed effectiveness of each legislative item to address the core goal of the GND: reducing American carbon emissions to a ‘net zero’ by 2050. The researchers’ ultimate conclusion? ‘It is not to be taken seriously.’” (The Daily Wire)

JUDGE HELPS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CIRCUMVENT JUSTICE: “Federal prosecutors charged a Massachusetts judge with obstruction of justice Thursday, saying she prevented immigration agents from arresting an undocumented immigrant after a state court hearing by allowing him to leave the courthouse through a back door. … The indictment accuses District Judge Shelley Richmond Joseph and a court officer, Wesley MacGregor, of allowing the immigrant to leave the courthouse, out of a federal agent’s sight, and lying about it later.” (USA Today)

BALTIMORE MAYOR UNDER SCRUTINY: “FBI and IRS agents on Thursday raided the home and city hall offices of Baltimore mayor Catherine Pugh as part of an investigation into possible public corruption… Pugh took a leave of absence from her position earlier this month after it was revealed that she made $500,000 selling copies of her Healthy Holly children’s-health book to the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) while sitting on the system’s board. It was later revealed that health insurance provider Kaiser Permanente paid Pugh $100,000 for 20,000 copies of the book while the company was seeking a lucrative contract to insure the city’s employees.” (National Review)

JUDICIAL ACTIVISM ON ABORTION: “A federal judge in Washington state on Thursday blocked a Trump administration rule that would prohibit taxpayer-funded family planning clinics from referring patients to abortion providers. The preliminary injunction bars enforcement nationwide of a policy that was due to go into effect on May 3 over the vehement objections of abortion supporters who have decried it as a ‘gag rule’ designed to silence doctor-patient communications about abortion options.” (Reuters)

BANK OF AMERICA’S BIG ABORTION LIE: “2ndVote has released documentation challenging Bank of America’s defense of its contributions to Planned Parenthood. In a letter recently obtained by 2ndVote, the president of the Bank of America Charitable Foundation apparently responded to a customer concerned with the bank’s support for Planned Parenthood: ‘Bank of America does not make any direct grants to Planned Parenthood.’ Bank of America did contribute over $50,000 in what appears to be so-called ‘matching gifts’ to the abortion giant through its foundation in 2017.” (2ndVote)

WOODSHED PREPARES FOR scumbag-JAMES COMEY: “A ‘bombshell’ report on former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey is coming out in two weeks, attorney Joe diGenova said on Wednesday. … ‘The Horowitz report is coming out in May or possibly early June,’ Joe diGenova, a former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said. He was referring to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act investigation. ‘There’s another report that everyone has forgotten about involving scumbag-James Comey alone,’ diGenova said. ‘That will be out in two weeks. That report is going to be a bombshell. It is going to open up the investigation on a very high note, and there are going to be criminal referrals in it.’” (Washington Examiner)

INCARCERATION DROPS: “The number of people serving prison or jail sentences in the United States dropped 10 percent over the decade ending in 2017, the Department of Justice said Thursday, the latest evidence that a lower crime rate and changing sentencing policies are having an effect on the number of people behind bars. After decades of increases, the latest figures show that the incarceration rate — the number of prisoners compared to the U.S. population — is at the lowest level in 20 years, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.” (NBC News)

Congress must play a critical

role in securing the US Border

by Roger F. Noriega

{ aei.org } ~ Congress is pushing back on President Trump’s decision earlier this month to cut US aid to Central American countries from which the vast majority of would-be migrants originate... In a bipartisan appeal, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D-NY) and ranking Republican member Michael McCaul (R-TX) asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to work with Congress on deciding whether and how to restart aid to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, the so-called “Northern Triangle.” I testified before that these US-supported programs help stem the tide of violence that spurs desperate people to abandon their countries. It is good news that there is a strong bipartisan consensus supporting US aid programs in Central America. As part of the US’s overall border strategy, about $500 million a year is allocated to address gang violence, poverty, corruption, and other factors that push tens of thousands of Central Americans to flee each month. Aid programs have led to dramatic declines in violence, extortion and general criminality. Anti-gang programs in the region have helped law enforcement agencies crack down on violent gangs that menace every major US community. By bolstering security and improving conditions for doing business, US assistance helps create new jobs and better wages in areas struggling with poverty. Members of Congress have done their homework; indeed, they helped design the US “Northern Triangle” strategy and imposed conditions on what local governments must do to qualify for US-funded programs. Members and staff of Congress also have conducted on-site visits to measure the effectiveness of US aid, leading them to conclude that such projects are not only worthy, they are more important than ever...

Official: U.S. Far Behind China, Russia

in Modernizing Nuclear Arsenal

by John Grady

{ news.usni.org } ~ China and Russia had their money on winning asymmetric advantages in conventional and nuclear forces in the last decade, and now the United States is playing catch-up... in modernizing its sea, air and land nuclear forces, the Pentagon’s top policy official said Wednesday. David Trachtenberg, the Pentagon’s deputy undersecretary for policy, said the United States put off modernizing the three legs of its nuclear deterrent for almost 20 years, he told USNI News following a presentation at the Brookings Institution. “In the 2000s, we skipped a generation” in modernizing the triad – ballistic missile submarines, bombers and ballistic missiles. He added that the United Kingdom and France, both nuclear powers and NATO allies, reduced their weapons stockpiles while continuing to modernize their nuclear forces during that same time. The United Kingdom has sea-based ballistic missile submarines; France has both submarines and aircraft capable of delivery of nuclear weapons. At the same time, North Korea, India and Pakistan established themselves as nuclear powers. “Most of the nation’s nuclear deterrence was built in the 1980s or even earlier,” Trachtenberg said during the presentation. The triad was “aging into obsolescence.” Trachtenberg said in answer to a question during the forum that the United States is not engaged in a new arms race with Moscow or starting one with China, but “Russia is re-scoping” its nuclear and conventional forces, including using low-yield nuclear weapons to get its way in a confrontation...

Chasing universal coverage: An interview

with health policy expert James Capretta

by Matt Winesett, Max Frost, and James C. Capretta

{aei.org} ~ Nearly a decade after the passage of the Affordable Care Act, another sweeping reform of the United States health care system could soon be in the works... Democratic presidential hopefuls are laying out their plans to reduce the roughly 28 million uninsured Americans to zero, with proposals ranging from Medicare-for-All to a public option. But in doing so, are they overstating the extent of the problem? In a recent article in RealClearPolicy, AEI’s James Capretta and Joseph Antos say the answer may be yes: The number of Americans truly unable to obtain health insurance coverage is much smaller than the topline number of 28 million would suggest, and this affects which policies are best-suited to improve health insurance coverage in the US. In this episode, we talk with James Capretta about his article and its implications for US health policy. We also discuss what the conservative vision for health policy should look like, what lessons can be gleaned from other countries’ health care systems, the Trump administration’s plans for lowering prescription drug prices, and much more. James C. Capretta is a resident fellow and holds the Milton Friedman Chair at the American Enterprise Institute, where he studies health care, entitlement, and US budgetary policy. Previously he served as an associate director at the White House’s Office of Management and Budget, where he was responsible for all health care, Social Security, welfare, and labor and education issues. He’s also served as a senior health policy analyst at the US Senate Budget Committee and at the US House Committee on Ways and Means. http://www.aei.org/multimedia/chasing-universal-coverage-an-interview-with-james-capretta/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWmpJeU1qUmhaV0poWlRFMyIsInQiOiJSMzFrdks3OGQrV0VkaG44RGlnbkh6THR2OEN6a0VqTkNtU2E5VkUydHFSekNnaEdHREphclJtc1wvSm0wZnZUWDJvR0JERDJZWGE5ZGE2OE1lMHg4YVJyVVhOS1AyQ2xQRcyN2F1bnFrTEUrK043UkJrOURkVkxaSGxTU0xVengifQ%3D%3D

The Satanic Temple Has Evolved Into An

Anti-Trump Movement & Leftists

Are Flocking To It

by Michael Snyder

{ thewashingtonstandard.com } ~ The Satanic Temple is the perfect religion for progressives. You can believe anything you want, as long as you hate what Donald Trump, Christians and conservatives believe... Unlike the Church of Satan, the Satanic Temple doesn’t even believe in a supernatural entity called Satan. Instead, they celebrate Satan as “the ultimate rebel”, and they relish in using the symbol of Satan to greatly upset Christians. The Satanic Temple was founded in 2013, and from the very beginning, it was clear that they were primarily a political movement. In fact, they openly tell prospective members that the only real requirement for joining is to believe “in the political and secular actions” of the group…Previously, Satanism in America had always been a shadowy underground movement, but the Satanic Temple has changed all that. Instead of avoiding the public eye, they believe that their rebellion against conservatives and Christians “requires a level of political participation”…The organization grew rapidly after it was founded, but if scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton had won the 2016 election that probably would have put a damper on their political activism. Just like their hero, the leaders of the Satanic Temple appear to be experts in deception, and they are leading thousands upon thousands of people down a very dark path.

Glenn Beck Explains the Biggest

Left-Wing Lie About America

by Jarrett Stepman and Fred Lucas

{ dailysignal.com } ~ “The Right Side of History” is a podcast dedicated to exploring current events through a historical lens and busting left-wing myths about figures and events of America’s past... On this week’s episode, hosts Jarrett Stepman and Fred Lucas discuss recent comments by scumbag/liar-nObama administration Attorney General scumbag-Eric Holder, who recently said on MSNBC: “Exactly when did you think America was great?” “It certainly wasn’t when people were enslaved. It certainly wasn’t when women didn’t have the right to vote. It certainly wasn’t when the LGBT community was denied the rights to which it was entitled,” scumbag-Holder said. Lucas and Stepman discuss what makes America great and exceptional, and why critics such as scumbag-Holder are wrong to focus entirely on its faults. Also, Lucas had a chance at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, to ask political commentator Glenn Beck about the left’s biggest distortion about American history.

Trump Moves Closer to Full Unwind of s

cumbag/liar-nObama Iran Deal

Political Editors: President Donald Trump took another step this week in working to unwind Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s terrible Iran nuclear deal. In a statement, the White House announced, “Trump has decided not to reissue Significant Reduction Exceptions (SREs) when they expire in early May. This decision is intended to bring Iran’s oil exports to zero, denying the regime its principal source of revenue.” Recall that last year Trump granted six-month waivers to eight countries, temporarily exempting them from the sanctions imposed against Iran following the president’s withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal. That exemption period has come to an end, and Trump is following through on his commitment to isolate the Iranian regime so as to get the mullahs to give up their pursuit of a nuclear weapon.

Predictably Iranian officials responded by threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz, an area through which a fifth of the world’s oil trade travels. China, one of the country’s granted a sanction exemption, indicated that it is unlikely to end oil trade with Iran. Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang argued, “China’s cooperation with Iran is open, transparent, reasonable and legitimate, and should be respected.”

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned, “We’ll no longer grant any exemptions. We are going to zero across the board. We’ll continue to enforce sanctions and monitor compliance and any nation or entity interacting with Iran should do its diligence and err on the side of caution; the risks are simply not going to be worth the benefits.” He added, “How long we’ll remain there at zero depends solely on the Islamic Republic of Iran’s senior leaders.”

Pompeo then reiterated, “The goal remains simple: to deprive the outlaw regime of the funds it has used to destabilize the Middle East for four decades and incentivize Iran to behave like a normal country.” That’s a great goal, but frankly it’ll take regime change to achieve it.

Carter Page is publishing the dirty cop-Mueller

report. Here's the introduction he wrote

by Carter Page

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Throughout history, even the most advanced societies have at times reached troublesome low points in their development... Such nadirs typically come when government operatives achieve authoritarian levels of power over their populace, including loyal citizens. These operatives and their government cronies have frequently created a cult of personality reflecting supreme levels of arrogance and virtually unchecked authority, feeding their need for personal self-aggrandizement by writing a propaganda book. The purpose of such books was often to present some outrageously fictional version of the current reality to their country’s populace. In Italy, Mussolini had his autobiography. In Libya, Qaddafi widely distributed his Green Book both to the masses, in the national media and even with featured quotes on billboards throughout the country. Iraq’s tyrannical Saddam Hussein wrote a series of novellas. The actions of operatives working in support of the Democratic Party reflected such age-old patterns during the 2016 Presidential Election, which eventually led to the creation of the Report that follows —a shameful conglomeration of propaganda meant to sow further discord in the minds of Americans against their fellow citizens. Most of the prior historical propaganda endeavors are modest when compared to DOJ’s two-volume work which was created by a handful of despots in Washington. Miraculously, the fortitude of the American citizenry is strong. The people of this great nation have transcended the abuses unleashed by the Democrats during the last Presidential campaign and following the 2016 Election. Their propaganda attempts end with us as sane Americans seeking to regain stability in the wake of the damages this farce caused to our country and its people. The Russia hoax dominated news coverage both at home and abroad throughout recent years, as the media and Democrats worked to influence Americans. It has wrought damage to our country’s national security and foreign relations by parroting lies or conspiracy theories from a sham investigation that was never necessary in the first place. Following the standards set by other despots who preceded them in the annals of history, those involved in the Russiagate hoax have created and manipulated the one-sided propaganda found in these two thick Volumes that follow...

The Insanity of Reparations

by Ron Yates & Steve Baldwin

{ westernjournal.com } ~ The latest rage of the left is “reparations,” which is the name given to an issue that has become a litmus test for 2020 Democratic presidential candidates... Two weeks ago, most of the major 2020 candidates showed up at Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and groveled before a group of professional social justice warriors and assorted race baiters. Without missing a beat, every candidate in attendance signed on to the idea of supporting Congresswoman’s Sheila Jackson Lee’s bill which will “study” the idea of giving money to African-Americans as atonement for the practice of slavery over 150 years ago. But the word “reparations” is being used improperly by Sharpton and the left. Google’s online dictionary defines the term as “the making of amends for a wrong one has done, by paying money to or otherwise helping those who have been wrong.” That definition clearly refers to parties in the present tense, meaning actual persons who are wronged would receive money from actual persons who wronged them. But the reparations movement wants people who have committed no injustice or crime to pay people who had no crime or injustice committed against them. A more accurate description of what the left is proposing would be “bribery,” since that’s exactly what is occurring. We are witnessing presidential candidates promise money to radical black activists in exchange for supporting their candidacies. Nothing more. Indeed, Trump’s rising support among blacks probably has something to do with why this issue has suddenly burst onto the leftist political scene. The left is hoping this issue will prevent any further hemorrhaging of the black vote. Nevertheless, this issue bears scrutiny. When it comes to reparations — especially reparations for those claiming to be descendants of slaves — the issue is fraught with complications, not the least of which is who today should qualify for a reparation payment. How will that be determined? Will there be pervasive DNA testing? And who will be tested? Are there accurate records available that will allow recipients to unequivocally trace their lineage back to enslaved ancestors? How will those records be vetted? Or will it just be enough that an individual is black or looks black and is therefore entitled to reparations based on his or her presumed race? And how black must one be? Do you need to be 100 percent black? Or does 50 percent, or 25 percent, or 10 percent qualify?... https://www.westernjournal.com/insanity-reparations/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=usjf&utm_campaign=dailyam&utm_content=usjf

Trump Administration Shelves Plan

To Dramatically Expand Offshore Drilling

by Michael Bastasch

{ dailycaller.com } ~ The Interior Department has put plans to open more offshore areas to oil and gas drilling on hold indefinitely... according to Interior Secretary David Bernhardt. Bernhardt said the decision to shelve offshore drilling plans was made after a federal court in Alaska ruled against an executive order President Donald Trump issued to open Arctic waters to energy exploration.“By the time the court rules, that may be discombobulating to our plan,” Bernhardt told The Wall Street Journal in an interview Thursday. Interior officials will likely have to wait until the legal process plays out or else risk finalizing a five-year plan for offshore drilling that’s out of step with court rulings. As it stands, the March court ruling keeps Arctic waters off-limits unless Congress passes legislation to open them.“What if you guess wrong?” Bernhardt said. “I’m not sure that’s a very satisfactory and responsible use of resources.” The news will be welcomed by environmentalists that sued the Trump administration to block Arctic offshore drilling. Conservatives and pro-industry Republicans, however, see it as a major setback... https://dailycaller.com/2019/04/25/trump-administration-offshore-drilling/?utm_medium=email

The Threat Isn’t Coming, It’s Here: Security

Dangers Imminent If China Controls 5G

by Steven Bucci

{ dailysignal.com } ~ Anyone concerned with protecting our wireless communications systems from state-sponsored Chinese surveillance should take note of several important, and troubling, developments... Last year, China’s state-sponsored Huawei Technologies, which a 2012 bipartisan congressional report labeled a national security risk, surpassed Sweden’s Ericsson to become the world’s largest telecom equipment provider. Both Huawei and the Chinese government are working furiously to integrate Huawei’s proprietary technology into emerging 5G networks throughout the world. Their efforts are a business model and an intel-gathering strategy. This activity poses serious security risks for America and its allies. Six former top Pentagon leaders, including former Director of National Intelligence scumbag-James Clapper, earlier this month warned of “near persistent data transfer back to China” if the U.S. were to incorporate Huawei or other Chinese telecom equipment in our 5G networks. This warning parallels the one given a few years ago to British businesses by the then head of the security agency MI5, that every major business in the U.K. was being surveilled by China. Thankfully, it seems unlikely that a U.S.-based 5G network incorporating Huawei tech will become a reality... https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/04/24/the-threat-isnt-coming-its-here-security-dangers-imminent-if-china-controls-5g/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CapitolBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTUdSbVpqYzRNVFU1WkdJNSIsInQiOiJsZm1OMXQyK1EzeDFYZzZzSE40K2dYdlZEblVcLzJXaFJnZlwvMkdabktrbzVjSmUxZlptQTFRR2pTRWkyVURza1F1K0Qxek9mMzNrU1RRNEsrNFwvM1ROSDYwdms2V1pzN2VDZkZRaHJzUTY4cEd2eXJPODcySUdaaHVONm9mc1JzeSJ9

John Havlicek, Boston Celtics legend, dead at 79

by Nicole Darrah

{foxnews.com} ~ John Havlicek, a legendary Boston Celtics star behind one of the most famous plays in NBA history, died Thursday at 79, the team announced... The basketball star was described by the team in a statement as "one of the most accomplished players in Boston Celtics history, and the face of many of the franchise's signature moments." Havlicek, with the nickname "Hondo" for his resemblance to John Wayne, was known for one of the most iconic plays in league. In the final seconds of the 1965 Eastern Conference final against the Philadelphia 76ers, he stole Hal Green's inbound pass. He was drafted in the first round in 1962 out of Ohio State — where he helped lead the Buckeyes to the 1960 national championship — by a Celtics team stocked with stars Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, K.C. Jones, Sam Jones, Tom Sanders, Tom Heinsohn and Frank Ramsey. The legend, described by the Celtics as "kind and considerate, humble and gracious," went on to win eight NBA championships and an NBA Finals MVP award with Boston, setting Celtics career records for points and games. Havlicek was named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA history, and enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1984. The Celtics said his retired #17 jersey hangs in the rafters of TD Garden, the stadium home to the team... https://www.foxnews.com/sports/john-havlicek-boston-celtics-legend-dead-at-79

Democrats Redistribute Your Income,

but Keep Theirs

Louis DeBroux: The utter hypocrisy of the Left is truly breathtaking to behold in its brazenness. While lecturing us on the imperative to give up more of our hard-earned wages to meet the needs of the poor among us (regardless of whether that poverty is due to unfortunate circumstances or plain sloth), “progressive” Democrats jealously hoard their own wealth.

Democrats have an OPM (Other People’s Money) addiction. While demanding that average Americans submit more and more of their earnings to government confiscation, in their personal lives they are greedy hypocrites.

Take, for example, avowed socialist Senator commie-Bernie Sanders, long a champion of stratospheric tax rates for “the rich.” commie-Sanders, who didn’t hold a job until he turned 40, gained a cult following by vilifying the evil 1%, and promising to punish them if elected. Yet due in part to a lucrative book deal, he is now a one-percenter, with earnings topping $1 million in both 2016 and 2017. commie-Sanders, far from being a member of the working class he claims to represent, owns three homes, including a lakefront home in Vermont, and a home in Washington, DC.

But living a wealthy lifestyle, commie-Sanders is far less generous with his own money. In fact, despite being a multimillionaire, the miserly commie-Sanders donated just 3.38% of his income to charity in 2018. Unbelievably, that represents a tripling of the measly 1% he donated to charity in 2016 and 2017.

Recently, in an interview with Martha McCallum during a Fox News town hall, when commie-Sanders was asked if he would be willing to pay 52% on the money he’d earned, rather than the roughly 25% he pays now, he dodged the question and retorted that she could pay more too.

Sadly, the curmudgeonly commie-Sanders is typical of Democrats. Compared to other announced 2020 Democrat presidential candidates, commie-Sanders is actually one of the more “generous.” California Senator lowlife-Kamala Harris (1.4%), New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (1.7%), and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar (1.9%) all gave even less to charity than commie-Sanders, whereas Washington Governor Jay Inslee (4%) and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth dinky-Warren (5.5%) gave slightly more.

Former VP loose lips-Joe Biden announced this week that he will announce his candidacy for president this week, and his record is no better. In the decade leading up to his selection as Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s vice president, despite a Senate salary of almost $200,000/year, loose lips-Biden gave a pathetic average of $369 per year to charity.

At this point, the duplicitous selfishness of Democrats is almost legendary.

But by far the stingiest of the Democrat candidates is former Texas Congressman socialist-Beto O'Rourke, who gave a microscopic 0.3% of his income to charity. That’s right … less than one-half of one percent from a man with an estimated net worth of $16 million.

socialist-O'Rourke was recently called out for his hypocrisy during an appearance at a University of Virginia town hall meeting. A questioner asked why her sister, a recent college graduate, gave far more money to charity than scocialist-Beto, despite earning far less money.

In a response that rivals scumbag/liar-nObama’s preening arrogance for its sheer narcissism, socialist-O'Rourke responded, “I’ve served in public office since 2005. I do my best to contribute to the success of my community, my state and now, of my country. There are ways that I do this that are measurable. And there are ways that I do this that are immeasurable.” His “measurable” charity is tiny, so what “immeasurable” charity does he offer? Running for president.

That’s right, socialist-Beto O'Rourke, a forgettable congressman and failed Senate candidate, allows us to bask in the presence of his singular glory as he runs for president. As Wayne and Garth might say, “We’re not worthy!”

Maybe someone should enlighten socialist-Beto and explain to him that being a congressman is the exact opposite of charity. After all, for his “charitable” work in Congress he is paid $174,000 per year, plus an expense account, plus a gold standard health insurance policy. That’s not exactly the self-sacrifice of Mother Teresa.

In reality, none of us should know or care what others give to charity. By definition it is an individual, private act, and should be done out of the kindness of our hearts rather than political calculation.

But Democrat charity, or lack thereof, becomes our concern when these same Democrats demand we surrender more of our earnings for government “charity,” which is a contradiction in terms. Government doesn’t have a single penny that it doesn’t first take by force from those who earned it, and taxation is certainly not voluntary. Men with guns show up if we don’t pay, and government agents drain our bank accounts and throw us in jail if we refuse.

Luckily, Americans are the most personally generous people on Earth, giving more than twice as much as second-place Canada. In 2017 alone, Americans donated $300 billion to charity, not including untold millions of hours of volunteer time, blood donations, and disaster relief work.

Ironically, despite being attacked as heartless for their opposition to government “charity” and higher taxes, religious conservatives give far more to charity than their liberal counterparts, despite having larger families and less disposable income.

To be charitable is to be godly, but theft is evil — even if you hire a government middleman to do the stealing under the patina of legality. ~The Patriot Post

Trump Has Triggered a 'Constitutional Crisis'

by Refusing Congressional Subpoenas

by Susan Jones

{ cnsnews.com } ~ Rep. Gerald Connolly (D-Va.) says the Trump White House has triggered a "constitutional crisis" by refusing multiple subpoenas... issued by the House Oversight Committee for various administration staffers to come testify before the committee. "We're fighting all the subpoenas," President Trump told reporters on Wednesday. "Look, these aren't, like, impartial people. The Democrats are trying to win 2020...the only way they can luck out is by constantly going after me," Trump said. Connolly said the Trump White House won't get away with this: "And that's why I said I think he has actually triggered a constitutional crisis. We're in it," Connolly told MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Wednesday: The legislative branch is a separate, but equal co-branch of government. Article 1 is about Congress' power. That's why they wrote it as Article 1, not Article 2 or Article 14. And if you read The Federalist Papers, Madison clearly saw Congress as the preeminent branch of government. You ignore Congress' demands at your peril, your legal peril, your constitutional peril. And if he wants to get into that battle by having an across-the-board defiance of legitimate constitutional requests by Congress, then the fat is in the fire. Connolly said he believes the courts will back up Congress in its fight with the White House: "Even this Supreme Court has to think long and hard about taking on the entire legislative branch of government," Connolly said. "If our system of constitutional checks and balances means anything, even to Mr. Kavanaugh, it means you have to uphold the right of Congress to demand." Connolly told Matthews the "jury's out" on impeachment. "But I think we're moving closer to impeachment because of the dirty cop-Mueller report itself and what he just did in the last 48 hours."... Why didn't Connolly say constitutional crisis when scumbag/liar-nObama did the same.

loose lips-Biden senior adviser: We don't

need white men leading the Democratic Party

by Joseph Simonson

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Sanders, who has just joined loose lips-Joe Biden's presidential campaign as a senior adviser, must have reconsidered her earlier position on Democratic Party leadership... AD In November 2016, shortly after President Trump's victory, Sanders told CNN's Brianna Keilar that "we don't need white people leading the Democratic Party right now." "The Democratic Party is diverse, and it should be reflected as so in our leadership and throughout the staff at the highest levels from the vice chairs to the secretaries all the way down to the people working in the offices at the DNC," she added. The comments were puzzling at the time, considering Sanders, an African American, had earlier served as press secretary for Vermont Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign. Since leaving that position, she has worked as a political strategist and CNN contributor. loose lips-Biden formally announced his candidacy Thursday morning in a YouTube video that focused on the 2017 response by Trump to white nationalist protesters in Charlottesville, Va. Most polls of Democratic primary voters give loose lips-Biden a slim lead over commie-Bernie Sanders in the race for the party's nomination.

DiGenova Shreds The Hill.TV: 'You Have

No Evidence That' William Barr 'Lied!'

by Michael W. Chapman

{ cnsnews.com } ~ After The Hill.TV's Krystal Ball strongly implied that Attorney General William Barr lied about part of the dirty cop-Mueller Report, former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova strongly denounced her insinuation... stating that Ball had "no evidence that he lied, and you know it!" He added that Barr had come "out of retirement to serve this country" in the Justice Department and that it was not acceptable to go on "national television calling the attorney general a liar!" DiGenova made his remarks during an April 18 discussion on Rising with Krystal & Buck on The Hill.TV. DiGenova was on the program with his wife and fellow-attorney Victoria Toensing. The program is hosted by left-wing Democrat Krystal Ball and conservative talk-show host Buck Sexton. Victoria Toensing: “Bill Barr said he asked dirty cop-Robert Mueller three separate times, ‘Did you base your decision on the fact that a sitting president cannot be indicted?’ and dirty cop-Mueller said, ‘I did not.’ Three separate times. I don’t know what’s in that report.” Ball: “I’m just telling you what the report says. It literally says, ‘Here are the considerations that guided our obstruction of justice investigation.” Toensing: “Is dirty cop-Mueller a liar?” Ball: “I’m asking if Barr is a liar, is really the question here. It says very clearly that one of the considerations was the fact that a sitting president couldn’t –” DiGenova: “Let me just say something right now about what you just said. Don’t you dare suggest that Bill Barr is a liar. I’ve known him for 30 years. He’s one of the finest lawyers this country has ever produced. He came back out of retirement to serve this country.” DiGenova: “There’s not one shred of evidence that anything he said — either the other day, or now, or today — was a lie. Don’t ever say that in front of me about Bill Barr. You have no evidence that he lied, and you know it. You said he may have lied!”...

Terrorists Continue Exploiting

Children for Suicide Attacks

by Hany Ghoraba

{ investigativeproject.org } ~ Time has proven that there is no action that is too base or vile for jihadists and Islamist groups worldwide to attain their goals, and that includes using children in suicide terrorist operations against their enemies... A 2017 UNICEF report says that 117 children In Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon and Niger were fighting among Boko Haram terrorists after being kidnapped and trained by the group. In 2017, children carried out 27 Boko Haram attacks. In Nigeria, Boko Haram went as far as using a 10-year-old girl to carry out a 2016 New Year's Eve suicide bombing. The girl approached a crowd gathering to buy noodles, but blew herself up too soon, limiting the casualties to one injured person. The latest example came in an April 9 Egypt suicide bombing in the north Sinai town of Sheikh Zuweid. Seven people were killed, including four police officers and a 6-year-old boy. The terrorist was a 15-year-old boy who targeted a busy marketplace. ISIS affiliate Ansar Beit Al Maqdes took credit for the attack. The Egyptian army has targeted Ansar Beit Al Maqdes, forcing the group to tap children, who can more easily pass through security checkpoints, for its attacks. ISIS Mufti Abu Said Al Gizrawi issued a fatwa allowing the use of children in suicide bombings, followed by a published book by Abu Hassan Al Kahtani sanctioning the use of women and children in suicide operations. Al Kahtani was killed in Syria in 2015. According to retired General Mohsen Hefzy, a former Egyptian national security official, children and teenagers are recruited through a two-step process called "Jihadist Discipline." In the first stage, children are brainwashed and convinced to fight the enemies of God. They then are trained to use explosives and emotionally prepared execute suicide bombings. Step two is called "Sharia' Legitimizing" and includes labeling security officers as "heretics and infidels" to cast killing them as justified and a path to heaven...

Nicaragua is the next Venezuela

by Marion Smith and Carlos E. Ponce

{usatoday.com} ~ This time last year, our nation was fixated on the Central American country. April 28, 2018 saw hundreds of thousands of protestors take to Nicaragua’s streets... the largest protests in a generation or more. Students, workers, priests, and farmers demanded reforms and the resignation of the dictator Daniel Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo. Americans stood in solidarity with the marchers, believing that it marked the beginning of a democratic spring for the Nicaraguan people. Instead, the dictatorship tightened its grip. The past year saw the murder of more than 500 protesters, the imprisonment and disappearance of more than 1,200 others, and the flight of more than 50,000 Nicaraguans. But instead of ratcheting up the pressure, America’s leaders shifted attention from Nicaragua to Venezuela. Sadly, this only makes it more likely that Nicaragua will follow Venezuela’s failed path. Nicaragua today can be compared to Venezuela five years ago. Daniel Ortega is following Nicolas Maduro’s playbook to a tee. Much like Venezuela in 2014, the initial protests in Nicaragua threatened to topple the regime. Ortega, like Maduro, cracked down swiftly and brutally, using the military, the police, and paramilitary gangs to target peaceful protestors and even the Catholic Church. After murdering so many, the regime is sparing no expense at suppressing further protests. Earlier this year, new police officers were seen training with Russian military equipment, including submachine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. Simultaneously, Ortega bought time to cement his rule with the promise of dialogue. The first round of talks, held with a group called the “Civic Alliance,” collapsed last summer. The second round fell apart last month. The regime, which recently tried to buy goodwill by releasing into house arrest roughly 200 political prisoners, still says it will “continue working toward national understanding.” A gullible international community seems to think he means it...

SCOTUS Leans Toward Census Citizenship Question

Thomas Gallatin: On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Department of Commerce v. New York, a case that challenges whether the Trump administration has the legal authority to include a citizenship question in the upcoming 2020 Census. As The Wall Street Journal reports, “Eighteen or so states argue that a citizenship question will deter immigrants from responding to the Census and result in an undercount of Hispanics, which would reduce federal funding and their representation in Congress. Three federal judges have sustained this extraordinary legal claim.”

As directed by the Constitution, the federal government is to conduct a census of the U.S. population every 10 years, and from 1790 to the present that directive has been followed. From 1820 to 1950, a citizenship question was included in the census, and up through the 2000 Census a citizenship question was included in the long-form questionnaire that was given to one-sixth of households. In other words, the 2010 Census containing no citizenship question is the outlier. And it is this census outlier that those opposed to the citizenship question are arguing should be the legal precedent.

The problem for these folks is that the Census Act grants the commerce secretary the authority to conduct the census “in such form and content as he may determine.” While they may contend that the inclusion of a citizenship question will negatively impact the ability of the census to provide accurate population numbers, claiming that those living in the country illegally will not return the questionnaire out of fear is merely speculative. Furthermore, they avoid the real issue, which is the electoral impact of high numbers of noncitizens, whether legal or illegal, on the representative governance rights of U.S. citizens.

As the oral arguments were submitted, it became apparent that the conservative justices weren’t buying the main argument against the inclusion of a citizenship question. Justice Samuel Alito expressed his skepticism, musing, “What jumps out is the fact that citizens and noncitizens differ in a lot of respects other than citizenship. They differ in socioeconomic status. They differ in education. They differ in language ability. I don’t think you have to be much of a statistician to wonder about the legitimacy” of the claim that the inclusion of a citizenship question would lower response rates. Justice Neil Gorsuch noted that “it’s not like this question is improper to ask.”

The expectation is that the Court will issue its decision relatively quickly, as the Census Bureau needs to begin the process of printing census materials in June. A ruling in favor of America (not just Trump) would undo a significant plank in the Democrats’ efforts to rig elections in their favor. ~The Patriot Post

Fossil Fuels Phobia

by Ron Ross

{ spectator.org } ~ The Democrat Party’s Green New Deal is nothing but a pipe dream. Its only value is to serve as a reminder of the party’s fossil fuels’ lunacy... Fossil fuels are an issue that sharply distinguishes Democrats from Republicans. Republicans consider fossil fuels a blessing, Democrats consider them a curse. Democrats openly advocate leaving our fossil fuels in the ground beyond the reach of humans. The radical environmentalist group Greenpeace is waging a “keep it in the ground” campaign. The Democrats protest every attempt to increase the supply and reduce the prices of oil and gas. They fight fracking, pipelines, offshore drilling, and development of ANWR (Arctic National Wildlife Reserve). They have advocated special taxes on fossil fuels the “carbon tax”, and arbitrary mileage requirements for cars and trucks. Fracking is banned in the entire state of New York. They guilt-trip everyone for their so-called “carbon footprints.” Fossil fuels provide a wide array of benefits to humans. Those benefits are nothing short of profound — warmth, mobility, illumination, cooking, air-conditioning, just to name a few of the more obvious ones. Fossil fuels are not a minor blessing, they are a gigantic blessing. Without them our living standards would be a fraction of what they are now. Fossil fuels are the raw materials for a mind-boggling array of products. Natural gas, surprisingly, is the primary ingredient in the production of nitrogen fertilizer, a major factor in “the green revolution.” When oil and gas prices are low the benefits reverberate throughout the economy. Oil and gas prices can be thought of as “super prices,” prices that affect thousands of other prices. Other examples of super prices are exchange rates and interest rates. Energy is a major cost for businesses and industries. For individuals low oil and gas prices are the equivalents of a pay raise or tax reduction. Democrats claim to be champions of low and middle income groups. Their disdain for the enormous benefits of low prices shows them for the frauds they actually are. Judging by their policies Democrat politicians are economic sadists... Makes no sense why the dems continue to push the green new deal.

dirty cop-Mueller's Political Prosecution

by Marc A. Scaringi

{ americanthinker.com } ~ Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller claims correctly that a traditional prosecution or declination decision is a binary choice – to prosecute or not to prosecute... dirty cop-Mueller was able to make a decision regarding collusion, so why couldn’t he make one regarding obstruction? He claims he couldn’t because the Office of Legal Counsel had previously opined that a sitting president cannot be indicted; he also claims that it would be unfair to accuse the president of committing a crime without indicting him and thus denying him the right to defend himself in court to clear his name. Then why did dirty cop-Mueller spend millions of taxpayer dollars investigating the president for obstruction when he wouldn’t indict him for it anyway? dirty cop-Mueller claims that he was creating and preserving a record for the future, perhaps when Trump is no longer president and thus can be indicted. But he also wrote that he was concerned that indicting Trump would, “preempt constitutional processes for addressing presidential misconduct.” What does he mean? Read his footnote -- he means impeachment. So, dirty cop-Mueller didn’t charge obstruction because he didn’t want to preempt the Democrats’ impeachment plans. Instead of performing his duty as a prosecutor, dirty cop-Mueller was creating a roadmap to impeachment. dirty cop-Mueller made a political decision, not a legal one. He was appointed to investigate any coordination between the Trump campaign and the Russian government to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. He was authorized to prosecute any federal crimes arising from his investigation. He admitted there was no evidence of collusion, conspiracy, or even the made-up crime called “coordination.” Yet on corruption, instead of reaching the obvious conclusion, he deferred to Congress. But dirty cop-Mueller is a prosecutor, not a member of Congress. His job is to enforce the criminal code, not to facilitate impeachment. Where dirty cop-Mueller played the politician, Attorney General William Barr played the prosecutor. Barr determined the evidence provided by dirty cop-Mueller was insufficient to establish an obstruction of justice charge. In reaching that decision, Barr based his conclusion on the evidence, which is what prosecutors are supposed to do. Barr even examined the evidence using dirty cop-Mueller’s unconventional legal theory that a person can be charged with obstruction for carrying out his lawful duties, and still found none... Sound like dirty cop-Mueller didn't do his job. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/muellers_political_prosecution.html

Measles infects nearly 700 people,

smashing 25-year record

by Kimberly Leonard

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ At least 695 people have been infected with measles this year as of Wednesday, an alarming rate for an infectious disease that was declared eradicated in the U.S. in 2000... The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that 22 states had been affected but that most cases were clustered in Washington state and New York. "The longer these outbreaks continue, the greater the chance measles will again get a sustained foothold in the United States," the agency said in a release. Measles, once a common childhood disease that infected 4 million a year, is characterized by a red skin rash. Most people who caught the virus this year were not given the MMR vaccine to protect against measles, mumps, and rubella. Children are supposed to get it around the age of 1 and again before they enter kindergarten. The first vaccine has a 95% effectiveness rate, and the booster has a 99% protection rate. CDC said that a leading factor contributing to the outbreak in New York was that people were spreading "inaccurate and misleading" information about the vaccine. People who are skeptical of vaccinations tend to raise a now-debunked study claiming that the MMR vaccine caused autism. President Trump spread that same message when he was running for office, but has not tweeted about the current outbreak... https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthcare/measles-infects-nearly-700-people-smashing-25-year-record?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_04/24/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News&rid=5261

5 Times The dirty cop-Mueller Probe Broke Prosecutorial Rules That Ensure Justice

by Adam Mill

{ thefederalist.com } ~ CNN recently published an article arguing that Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller should not have issued a report suggesting the president may have committed obstruction of justice... without actually reaching this conclusion. CNN is obviously disappointed because inside the leftist echo chamber the obstruction case seems undisputable. For example, the dirty cop-Mueller report suggests that the president committed some kind of sin for wanting to fire former FBI director scumbag-James Comey for being a party to the plot to blackmail or frame the president. Some believe presidents should fire FBI chiefs who participate in hoaxes against their boss. dirty cop-Mueller did no favor to CNN’s client Democrats, who now face three terrible choices: (1) Impeach President Trump using their majority in the House, which will lead to a self-destructive trial in the Senate; (2) Drop it and move on in defiance of a rabid get-Trump base; or (3) use their majority in the House to drag the country through a dirty cop-Mueller 2.0 investigation, which runs the risk of distracting from Democratic messaging in the upcoming 2020 election. Like Aesop’s scorpion on the frog’s back, the partisans on dirty cop-Mueller’s team just couldn’t help themselves. The dirty cop-Mueller report poisons public opinion without bringing charges. It should have been written on a postcard, because the outcome of a criminal proceeding is binary: Guilty or not guilty. There’s no middle ground under constitutional principles. President Trump is not guilty until the Senate convicts him otherwise. Do you remember why Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein wrote that scumbag-Comey should be fired? If Rosenstein is still capable of embarrassment, it must have been hard to stand behind the lectern as he did what he has told us prosecutors and cops should never do...

Pentagon ethics probe exonerates Patrick

Shanahan, clearing way for nomination

as defense secretary

by Jamie McIntyre

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ An investigation by the Pentagon’s inspector general has cleared acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan of allegations that he attempted to exert undue influence on behalf of his former employer, Boeing... The ethics probe began after a watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, sent a letter to the inspector general pointing to media reports that Shanahan was “boosting” Boeing in Pentagon meetings. The group questioned whether Shanahan harbored an unfair bias against other big military contractors. The inspector general's report exonerated Shanahan, saying none of the allegations was substantiated.“We determined that Mr. Shanahan fully complied with his ethics agreements and his ethical obligations regarding Boeing and its competitors,” the report stated. “We determined that Mr. Shanahan did not make the alleged comments and did not promote Boeing, or disparage its competitors.” The findings are expected to clear the way for Shanahan's nomination to replace James Mattis as defense secretary. President Trump has highly praised Shanahan but has not indicated publicly whether he intends to nominate him for the Pentagon's top job...

They've Only Just Begun

Cal Thomas

Objectivity, like Elvis, long ago left the building in Washington and so the report by Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller is being read and interpreted through mostly biased eyes.

Democrats, who had counted on dirty cop-Mueller to prove that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia, were initially as crestfallen as they were on election night 2016. Still, they are undeterred in the pursuit of their ultimate goal: evicting the president from the White House in a political coup unprecedented in American history.

The special counsel was established to investigate collusion, though not by Trump’s political opponents during the 2016 presidential race, who allegedly funded the infamous Steele dossier, which purported to describe Trump cavorting with prostitutes and other sick behavior during a visit to Moscow. After more than two years of investigations, subpoenas, witness testimony and millions of dollars wasted, Mueller’s report concluded, “The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.” As for obstruction of justice, how does one obstruct something that is not a crime?

Predictably, Democrats are not satisfied. Out of desperation and exasperation, some are alleging a cover-up by Attorney General William Barr. Others want to immediately begin impeachment proceedings. For which high crime and misdemeanor?

More experienced Democrats, such as Speaker Nancy Pulosi and Majority Leader scumbag-Steny Hoyer (D-MD) are rightly cautious. They remember the electoral damage to Republicans when members of that party impeached scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton. Which wing of their party will prevail?

Politico represents the fallback position for some on the left: “Forget collusion with Russia and obstruction of justice.” Say what? “The most concrete takeaway from the 448-page dirty cop-Mueller report is its damning portrait of the Trump White House as a place of chaos, intrigue and deception, where aides routinely disregard the wishes of a president with little regard for the traditional boundaries of his office…” Maybe so, but bad behavior and disobeyed presidential orders are not impeachable offenses. Let voters decide.

Imagine how President Trump must have felt. Not only the establishment, which includes Democrats and Republicans, but the major media were constantly assaulting him starting before the election and ever since. Some critics have accused him of paranoia, but as the saying goes, “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.” And out to get Trump they are.

Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberly Strassel writes: “President Trump has every right to feel liberated. What the (dirty cop-Mueller) report shows is that he endured a special counsel probe that was relentlessly, at times, farcically obsessed with taking him out.”

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said: “It is increasingly clear that the only scandal here is the scumbag/liar-nObama administration’s repeated failure to act against Russian cyber meddling, and instead, how they prioritized spying on a political opponent — the Trump campaign — and used a phony DNC-funded dossier as justification.”

When President scumbag/liar-nObama was asked about Trump’s charge that the 2016 election might be rigged against him, scumbag/liar-nObama responded: “No serious person out there … would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s elections.”

Add this “witch hunt” to the long list of reasons many Americans hate Washington. None of this political show affects average citizens, who are benefitting from a booming economy, job growth, lowest unemployment in half a century (including minority unemployment) and fewer people receiving food assistance. What does this have to do with more important issues, including illegal immigration and foreign policy?

The left doesn’t want Americans to focus on the administration’s successes, because they are incapable of doing better. They can only repeat their familiar scenario of higher taxes, bigger and more controlling government and “free stuff” for all.

The president and his allies have threatened a counterattack to expose corruption at the Justice Department, which created this fiasco. They should begin immediately. ~The Patriot Post

The easy thing would have been writing an article last week when the Mueller Report came out. In fact, I could have quoted most of what was unredacted with just a few keystrokes. That would have been the easy thing, but…

It wouldn’t have been anywhere near as fun as waiting.

By giving that report a week to ripen, I was also able to provide just the right amount of time for liberals to come to full boil over it.

To begin with…that report didn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know. President Trump did not collude with the Russians, and President Trump did not obstruct justice. We all knew that before the release of the Mueller Report, and I can guarantee you that liberals were fully aware of that fact even before we knew it.

In fact…liberals were all too well aware there was no collusion because…

Political Editors

Thursday Top News Executive Summary

Media Editors: loose lips-BIDEN DIVES IN: “Former Vice President loose lips-Joe Biden formally joined the crowded Democratic presidential contest on Thursday, declaring the ‘soul of this nation’ at stake if President Donald Trump wins re-election. … The 76-year-old Biden becomes an instant front-runner alongside Vermont Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders, who is leading many polls and has proved to be a successful fundraiser. Biden has legislative and international experience that is unmatched in the Democratic field, and he is among the best-known faces in U.S. politics.” (Associated Press)

SWAMP OVERFLOW: “The Democratic field contesting the right to challenge President Trump for the White House next year will be a record 20. Hundreds file each cycle, but only a sliver receive sustained media attention, raise significant amounts of money and are included in televised debates. For the 2020 Democratic presidential nod, 20 people can be listed as viable contenders.” (Washington Examiner)

BARR IN THE HOT SEAT: “Attorney General William Barr will testify next week on Wednesday to the Senate Judiciary Committee and answer questions about special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s final report, released last week. Barr will appear at 10am on May 1 before the Senate committee, chaired by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, according to a press release from the committee. He is expected to testify to the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee the next day.” (National Review)

MEASLES WATERSHED: According to Reuters, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “has confirmed 695 measles cases so far this year, the highest level since the country declared it had eliminated the virus in 2000. The resurgence, which public health officials blamed in part on the spread of misinformation about the safety of vaccines, has been concentrated mainly in Washington state and New York with outbreaks that began late last year.” Reuters also reports that “New York City has issued civil summonses to 12 people it said were not complying with a mandatory measles vaccination order as the number of recorded cases in the city’s worst outbreak since 1991 rose to 390.”

NEW BORDER ULTIMATUM: “President Donald Trump on Wednesday again threatened to close part of the southern border and send more ‘armed soldiers’ to defend it if Mexico did not block a new caravan of migrants traveling toward the United States. … U.S. officials … said they are expecting a request from the Department of Homeland Security in the coming days for additional troops, although that number is expected to be in the low hundreds. About 5,000 active duty and National Guard troops already are at the border.” (Reuters)

PHONE SURVEILLANCE ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK? “The National Security Agency has recommended the White House drop the controversial phone surveillance program that was secretly launched during the George W. Bush administration following the 9/11 attacks… The program, which collects metadata on U.S. phone calls and text messages, was started without a court order, and its existence wasn’t known until former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden leaked information to journalists about it in 2013. … If the White House follows the NSA’s recommendation, the program’s legal authority will expire in December.” (The Week)

HISPANICS BENEFIT FROM TRUMP ECONOMY: “Latinos are finding their economic legs under the Trump administration, leading the surge in home ownership and income growth and record low poverty rates, according to two comprehensive new surveys. While they remain far behind whites in income, they have seen their third consecutive year of income growth and have a higher workplace participation rate, according to the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals and the Hispanic Wealth Project.” (Washington Examiner)

FACEBOOK PAYS BIG FROM PRIVACY DISLIKE: “Facebook said on Wednesday that it expected to be fined up to $5 billion by the Federal Trade Commission for privacy violations. The penalty would be a record by the agency against a technology company and a sign that the United States was willing to punish big tech companies. … Facebook has been in negotiations with the regulator for months over a financial penalty for claims that the company violated a 2011 privacy consent decree. That year, the social network promised a series of measures to protect its users’ privacy after an investigation found that its handling of data had harmed consumers.” (The New York Times)

LEGAL TROUBLE FOR ILLINOIS GOVERNOR: “In a state known for its history of political scandals and corruption, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is the latest official reportedly under federal investigation. The 54-year-old Democratic governor, his wife, and his brother in law are all being investigated … over a tax break appeal. Pritzker and his wife advocated for a property tax break after they purchased a 126-year-old mansion. According to a Cook County inspector general’s report, first lady M.K. Pritzker told workers at the home to remove toilets in the residence in order to declare it ‘uninhabitable’ so that they could get a substantial tax break. The inspector general’s report says Pritzker’s brother-in-law Thomas Muenster and M.K. Pritzker’s personal assistant were involved and the alleged scheme cost taxpayers more than $330,000.” (Washington Examiner)

MORE IRS BUNK: “The Satanic Temple has been officially recognized as a church by the Internal Revenue Service, three months after taking Sundance by storm as the subject of the documentary ‘Hail Satan?’ According to an announcement from ‘Hail Satan?’ distributor Magnolia Pictures, the temple is now eligible for the tax-exempt status given to other religious institutions.” (The Wrap)

Strong Panel Segment With Joe diGenova

Discussing Origin of FISA Abuse

by sundance

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ A great panel segment delivered by Mike Huckabee tonight as Rudy Giuliani, Robert Ray and particularly Joe diGenova discuss the origin of the 2016 Russia conspiracy narrative... the FISA court and specifically the abuses of the NSA database. Mr. diGenova outlines the nature of how the FISA-702(16)(17) database searches were weaponized for political spy operations. Quite good:

Barr to testify about Mueller report

by Caitlin Yilek

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Attorney General William Barr will testify before Congress on May 1 about the recently concluded federal Russia investigation... The Senate Judiciary Committee put out a press release Wednesday that listed him as a witness for a hearing titled “The Department of Justice’s Investigation of Russian Interference with the 2016 Presidential Election." Barr’s testimony is scheduled for 10 a.m. Barr will answer senators' questions on special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The Justice Department released a redacted version of dirty cop-Mueller’s nearly 450-page report Thursday, which said President Trump's campaign had “numerous links” to the Russians but “the evidence was not sufficient to support criminal charges.” The special counsel also described several instances of possible obstruction of justice but did not make a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed the investigation. Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein instead made the conclusion, determining the president did not obstruct justice. The attorney general was criticized last week for holding a news conference before the release of dirty cop-Mueller’s report. Barr defended Trump’s actions during the investigation, saying the president was “frustrated and angered by a sincere belief that the investigation was undermining his presidency, propelled by his political opponents and fueled by illegal leaks” to the media. Barr testified earlier this month after he sent out a summary on the dirty cop-Mueller report but before its redacted release last week. He appeared before two appropriations panels about the Justice Department budget, but was asked questions about the dirty cop-Mueller report and said "spying did occur" on the Trump campaign.

After 20 years of reform,

are America’s schools better off?

by Frederick M. Hess and RJ Martin

{ aei.org } ~ Twenty years ago this spring, George W. Bush announced that he was forming an exploratory committee as a precursor to his first run for the presidency... In the announcement, he pledged to improve America’s schools, “set high standards, and insist on results” so as to “make sure that not one single child gets left behind.” An era of ambitious education reform had begun. Two decades later, after sweeping efforts that included No Child Left Behind, Race to the Top, and the Common Core, are our schools better off? The answer is less reassuring than one would hope. On the whole, it’s certainly possible to find some evidence of improvement — but progress is easiest to find in the metrics most amenable to manipulation. State tests in reading and math do appear to demonstrate that schools have significantly improved over the last 20 years. Between 2005 and 2009, as No Child Left Behind took full effect, the share of students who proved to be proficient in state tests rose by 1 to 2 percent per year. Over the next six years, state assessments were too varied to allow for meaningful comparison. But the same trend — with the share of proficient students increasing by 1 to 2 percent each year — did reemerge after 2015, when standardized Common Core tests became widely used. And high-school-graduation rates also skyrocketed, from 71 percent in 1997 to 85 percent in 2017. Good news, right? Not exactly. The politicos and state education officials claiming credit for these gains are the same ones who choose state tests, define what qualifies as “proficient,” and monitor graduation rates to guard against funny business. The results are tied into state accountability systems, where lousy results can produce practical and political headaches. Thus, policymakers have both the means and the incentive to inflate the numbers any way they can... http://www.aei.org/publication/after-20-years-of-reform-are-americas-schools-better-off/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWkRjek16YzFPV00zWm1RNCIsInQiOiJLNSt4SzIwemk2V2hFbTN5KytiZW9aMGJsMVQ5M1V1MmFSbTFzYkgxYXl4MEdFZ0VnSFVpYUdJblFvZndcL1wvNlFLVEhySG5sYUt0UWtkZkpLa0lQZWdkSTBVNzFtWE9PeFErSDM2Q2tUTXVvemhDSzNXVUMreWh5VGl0bXY2dWhhIn0%3D

The Past Is Imperfect

by Ed Morrow

{ spectator.org } ~ I remember listening to Kate Smith with my parents. I think it was on the Ed Sullivan show. You could tell, even with our TV’s tinny speaker, that her fulsome voice could reach the far seats of the largest venue and rattle the teeth there like castanets... Her big voice was matched by a big body. I’m certain I wasn’t the only wise guy kid who, when she sang the signature line of her hit, “When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain,” imagined the next line should be, “Kate Smith will hide it from view.” Another Smith standard became a fixture at Yankee Stadium till just a few days ago — “God Bless America.” If the wokelings among us have their way, it will be banished forever from the ears of Yankee fans and, indeed, from any other public performance. Smith, they say, was a racist. All around us the oh-so-woke guard the less enlightened from damaging things like statues of guys who died a century and a half ago or Founding Fathers who weren’t Democratic Socialists before Democratic Socialism was conjured up. Thomas Jefferson, for example, was key to creating the first nation to put things like freedom of religion and freedom of speech into a constitution that guaranteed them as fundamental rights. He would have been hanged by the neck, if George Washington had caught a bullet on one of his many battlefields. Tom, however, owned slaves, so anything associated with him should have his name removed and his every sin should be trumpeted. That was the practice employed by Joseph Stalin back in the days of Communist Russia. When some official who’d been dutifully executing state enemies by the bushel fell foul of Uncle Joe and was himself executed, it was embarrassing for the boss to have photos of the dead guy standing side-by-side with him smiling in official documents or books. The solution was to blot out the fellow from all those images, not a small task in the days before Photoshop. The now-despised was also cut out of all records as anything other than a louse. It may be more difficult to expunge and revise Thomas Jefferson but don’t count out the know-best horde. They dream big politically correct dreams. Meanwhile, Kate Smith makes an easier target. In the 1930s, Smith recorded two songs with racist lyrics and was drawn accepting a “mammy” doll from a fan in a racist cartoon ad for the baking powder company that sponsored her radio show. Smith probably had little or nothing to do with creating the ad, but she did sing the songs. One was “Pickaninny Heaven,” which she sang in the 1933 film Hello Everybody to African-American children playing orphans. The song, which is dated to at least 1918, described a happy afterlife featuring such offensively stereotypical rewards for the children as gigantic watermelons. A second song was her 1931 version of “That’s Why Darkies Were Born,” which came from the Broadway revue George White’s Scandals and included the lyrics, “Someone had to pick the cotton.… That’s why darkies were born.” This song has been described as a satire on racist attitudes toward African-Americans, for it emphasized the unfair burden they carried in life. There’s reason to believe this is true, as it was also recorded in the same year by the African-American artist Paul Robeson, best known for his role in the musical Showboat. He was hardly anyone’s Uncle Tom. Robeson was an advocate for civil rights and so liberal that he was a supporter of the Soviet Union, even when the above-mentioned Uncle Joe was killing all those enemies, including some Robeson knew personally. Smith was born in 1907, just 42 years after the Civil War. Stereotypical representations of African-Americans were routine in song, literature, theater, radio, and film during the early years of her career. While African-Americans got the worse of it by far, many other ethnic groups also got rough treatment. It would be decades before such crude entertainment was no longer tolerated. An examination of the biography of any entertainer of that time, including many African-American performers, is likely to reveal something that can be called racist. Does this make racist claptrap from the past okay? Not at all. Smith, however, died in 1986 and isn’t around to defend herself or apologize. No other evidence of racism in her life has become public. Others, for whom there is abundant evidence, have received better treatment... https://spectator.org/the-past-is-imperfect/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=3749ffbe20-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_25_04_20&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-3749ffbe20-104608113

Canadian Mayor Wants Sarsour

Removed From Panel

by investigativeproject.org: Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman wants to stop anti-Semitic activist Linda Sarsour from participating in an event hosted in the Canadian city on Friday, CBC reports... Sarsour is set to speak at an event entitled, "Sorry Not Sorry: Unapologetically Working for Social Justice," hosted by the Canadian Muslim Women's Institute and the Social Planning Council of Winnipeg. "Mayor Bowman does not feel it is appropriate to provide this individual a public platform to further propagate anti-Semitic views and hate," Bowman's office said in a statement. During a city hall event on Tuesday, Bowman accused Sarsour of stoking "racialized identity politics" and said that "she has continually attacked the foundation of the state of Israel's right to exist." "It's less about the speaker than the social planning council providing that platform and the message it sends to the Jewish community and the community as a whole," Bowman added. The mayor's comments were supported by several Winnipeg organizations including the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg and B'nai Brith Canada – a national advocacy organization on behalf of Canadian Jewry. B'nai Brith Canada originally called on the event organizers to retract Sarsour's invitation. "She's used her platform to promulgate views that are highly problematic, including charges of dual loyalty to Jews who are considered sufficiently too supportive of the state of Israel," Ran Ukashi, a national director at B'nai Brith Canada, said last month...

That Eight-Year-Old commie-Ocasio-Cortez Impersonator

Political Editors: Sometimes, we can sum up the American Spirit with humor. We Americans love to laugh, and that may be especially true when laughing at our politicians. Eight-year-old Ava Martinez so perfectly imitates commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s speaking patterns and mannerisms, including her repeated use of the word “like” and her apparent inability to do math related to the $93 trillion Green New Deal.

“Like, I’m commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, aka commie-AOC and like I want to talk about like, climate change. Because, like, there’s no doubt cow farts are making the climate change.”

“Like, in July, the climate was 96 degrees and in February the climate was 36 degrees. OMG, like that’s a huge change in the climate in only four months.”

“Like, at this rate the world is going to end in exactly 12 years, and, like, I’m only 29-years-old now so the world will be over when I’m only 37-years-old.”

“Like, I also want to talk about socialism because socialism is so amazing. Like, socialism is actually short for social media, did you know that? Like, I do social media so I’m a socialist and, like, three of the most successful countries in the world are socialist too — Venezuela, Facebook, and Twitter are all very successful socialist countries. I have a lot of friends that moved to America from Facebook.” ~The Patriot Post

dirty cop-Mueller Is Done, but

the Democrats' MAGA Obstruction Continues

by Mark Alexander

{ patriotpost.us } ~ The dirty cop-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...

Dershowitz: dirty cop-Robert Mueller

Completely Bungled Obstruction Report

by Andrew

{ conservativefreepress.com } ~ Democrats are in a bit of a bind right now. After telling their voters for two years that Donald Trump was an evil traitor who sold his country down the river for the promise of the presidency... they watched numbly as dirty cop-Robert Mueller delivered the bad news: That whole Russian collusion theory…yeah, it turns out that was BS. No one involved with the Trump campaign helped the Russians meddle in the election. There was no conspiracy. There was no collusion. Sorry, guys. Hate to leave you hanging out here in the wind. Wish there was something I could do. But wait, maybe there is! And it was with this spirit that dirty cop-Mueller wrote Volume II of his report, which is all about President Trump’s attempts to “obstruct justice.” Justice, in this instance, being a baseless witch hunt into a fictitious crime, but you know, justice nonetheless. Now, seeing as how the president was always fully empowered to fire dirty cop-Mueller and send him back into retirement, we’re not sure how he could have “attempted” to obstruct the investigation. Did he tell people to lie to dirty cop-Mueller and his team? Nope. So what then? Oh, he said some mean things on Twitter and he ranted at his attorney general. Cool. Let’s lock him in prison and throw away the key. In a version of the dirty cop-Mueller report due to be published on Amazon in the coming days, famed attorney Alan Dershowitz concludes that one of the biggest problems with the report is that dirty cop-Robert Mueller apparently doesn’t understand the legal nature of obstruction. Or, if he understands it, he fails to follow the logic to its inexorable conclusion: That the president could not have obstructed justice by the actions he took. Simply by virtue of BEING the president, he had every right to make every move that he did. “The dirty cop-Mueller Report correctly concludes that there are no Supreme Court decisions or even Department of Justice positions that directly resolve the issue of whether ‘the president’s exercises of his constitutional authority to terminate an FBI director and to close investigations’ can constitutionally constitute an obstruction of justice,” writes Dershowitz. “The report also acknowledges the principle that ‘general statutes must be read as not applying to the president if they do not expressly apply where application would arguably limit the president’s constitutional role.’”...

Most Illegals Need Govt. Services Costing U.S. Taxpayers More Than $100 Billion/Year

by Warner Todd Huston and Jeffdunetz

{ lidblog.com } ~ A new report finds that Democrats are wrong about Illegals becoming useful members of society and that most end up requiring government services costing the taxpayers billions... In fact, the majority of illegals receive some sort of government services and in total illegal immigration costs taxpayers over $100 billion more than paid in by those illegals who do pay taxes. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform’s 2017 report, illegal immigrants, and their children cost American taxpayers a net $116 billion annually—roughly $7,000 per alien annually. While high, this number is not an outlier: a recent study by the Heritage Foundation found that low-skilled immigrants including those here illegally cost Americans trillions throughout their lifetimes, and a study from the National Economics Editorial found that illegal immigration costs America over $140 billion annually. As the U.S. Supreme Court considers whether it is Constitutional to ask a census question about legal status, various U.S. cities are worried about a flood of illegals being added to their social services. The case underscores what experts say is a growing cost to taxpayers from the surge of Central American families and unaccompanied minors. “We’re talking about billions of dollars in taxpayer benefits over the next few years,” said Dan Stein, director of the right-leaning think tank, Federation for American Immigration Reform. “The payout for the taxpayer is enormous and income to the Treasury is miniscule.”... https://lidblog.com/illegals-need-govt-services/

scumbag-Soros-Funded Groups Work to

Register 1.4 Million Ex-Felons Ahead of 2020

by Aaron Klein

{ breitbart.com } ~ Progressive organizations, many financed by billionaire activist scumbag-George Soros, are working overtime to restore voting rights for Florida’s nearly 1.4 million ex-felons... as the nation’s biggest swing state seems poised to play a pivotal electoral role in the 2020 presidential race. The current battle revolves around a Florida state amendment that was passed last year restoring voting rights for felons, with progressive groups opposing a local bill that would require the state’s ex-felons to first pay civil fines and court fees before registering to vote. Florida’s Amendment Four was approved by voters during last year’s Midterm election.The heavily scumbag-Soros-funded American Civil Liberties Union and scumbag/commie-Brennan Center for Justice based in New York both served as consultants in drafting Amendment Four. scumbag-Soros’s Open Society Foundations donated $50 million to the ACLU. The scumbag/commie-Brennan Center has been the recipient of numerous grants from scumbag-Soros’s Open Society Foundations totaling over $7,466,000 from 2000 to 2010 alone. Desmond Meade, president of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, helped lead activism that put Florida’s Amendment Four on the ballot last year, including a news-making petition to restore voting rights to the released felons. His group is currently opposing efforts to require the former felons to pay their court fees prior to regaining their voting abilities. “When I looked out of the plane, I said somewhere down there’s an imaginary line that divides Florida from Georgia. And it reminds me of the days of slavery when all a slave had to do was cross an imaginary line to get to freedom,” Meade said, comparing the ex-felon registration drive to the fight against slavery. “And I said there is no way in hell in the 2000s should any American citizen have to escape another state to experience their freedom and their democracy.”... https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/04/22/battleground-florida-soros-funded-groups-work-to-register-1-4-million-ex-felons-ahead-of-2020/

‘Misleading a Lot of People’: Mukasey

Calls Out Cuomo’s Russia Conspiracies

by Nicholas Fondacaro

{ newsbusters.org } ~ During his appearance on Tuesday’s Cuomo Prime Time, former Attorney General Michael Mukasey didn’t shy away from calling Chris Cuomo out for “misleading a lot of people”... when it came to the findings of the special counsel investigation. In a brilliant display of schooling the so-called “Facts First” network, Mukasey went toe-to-toe with blowhard host and outclassed him at every turn. One of Mukasey’s first points was to accurately state that collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia didn’t happen. Despite the facts of the investigation, Conspiracy Cuomo argued that collusion did occur. Then came the first of many reality checks from Mukasey: CUOMO: Who says it didn’t happen? Russian interference happened. MUKASEY: Russian interference happened for sure, but cooperation and conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russians did not happen. And that was -- CUOMO: To a criminal level, no says Mr. dirty cop-Mueller. MUKASEY: -- to any level. Cuomo likes to remind folks that he used to be a lawyer, but it may become apparent why he no longer practices law when he had to get the U.S. attorney general’s job explained to him more than once: CUOMO: So, when you say no crime, dirty cop-Mueller couldn’t decide on that one, gave it to your friend the Attorney General, he decided it. MUKASEY: Right, which is his job... https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2019/04/24/misleading-lot-people-mukasey-calls-out-cuomos-russia?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWTJNMk9UTTJZVFl4TmpFeiIsInQiOiJ0Q3dGbTRGMjNobHU5VUI5RVpEQ1wvK0Ftd21OME1jVFhnVmpcL3V1cHUwUG5qT093Z0JSMG9ZYTRNeEp3V2dTc1E5TkhXb1ptMTI0SHVJNU5IUmlGeldNT1BvTVBnVDZnXC9nWVBZWnBqT045U0tUMDR2cUVJeUp3dVBONnhIZXkxWSJ9

How rino-Romney and Trump Were Both Right

Harold Hutchison: The latest dust-up between President Donald Trump and Senator rino-Mitt Romney is typical of the divide between the MAGA and establishment wings of both the Republican Party and the conservative movement. What makes this fight so difficult is that both sides have some valid points.

For all the grief he got for his reaction to dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report over this past weekend, rino-Romney is accurate when he says that the country has strayed far from the aspirations and principles of the Founders. Certainly, we at The Patriot Post believe they would be appalled by the expansion of the size and scope of the federal government and in particular at the constant assault on the First and Second Amendments. In that part of his statement at least, rino-Mitt Romney is 100% correct.

But Trump retaliated with a tweet pointing out something else that was quite obvious: If rino-Mitt Romney had fought Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s flawed policies in 2008 or 2012 with the same fire he has shown against Trump’s character flaws today, he’d likely have been president in either election — and the country would be much better off.

Back in January, we noted with great disappointment that rino-Romney took some shots at Trump over his character flaws, including womanizing. Well, those have been known by anyone who has followed celebrity gossip for the last 35 years. Americans factored those in when they voted in 2016 and will do so again in 2020. In 2016, enough Americans supported Trump in enough states to give him the presidency.

But here’s what rino-Romney doesn’t seem to understand: Had he beaten scumbag/liar-nObama in either 2008 or 2012, the same Resistance that has cropped up to President Trump would have arisen against him. It might not have been a bunch of women claiming affairs (given rino-Romney’s character, such claims would have been laughable), but you can bet they would have found something to attack, possibly his religious faith.

Furthermore, there would still be a “Resistance” out there, but this one would have declared him racist, with the defeat of the first black president serving as prima facie evidence of racism. We’d see the same sort of actions as well. And the same treatment would have been in store for rino-John McCain had he won in 2008.

rino-John McCain and rino-Mitt Romney were/are good men and patriots. The problem was, neither cared to punch back against the Left’s lies. Both overestimated the fairness of the press and their political opposition despite decades of evidence to the contrary and assumed they could reach across the aisle.

Worse, both of them failed conservatives who swallowed their disappointment to back them as the nominees in 2008 and 2012. rino-Romney in particular did not speak up about the IRS targeting the Tea Party, or Operation Choke Point, or other abuses of power by the scumbag/liar-nObama administration. Nor did they speak up when Second Amendment supporters were smeared as domestic terrorists or when California tried to force pro-life crisis pregnancy centers to advocate for abortion, among other incidents. Even now, with scumbag-Andrew Cuomo acting like Venezuela’s Maduro or Turkey’s Erdogan and prosecutors targeting press outlets over editorial decisions, rino-Romney has been silent when he should be objecting.

rino-Mitt Romney is at least aware of how far we’ve strayed from the aspirations and principles that underlie the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence. His big problem is that he and others haven’t learned the lessons of 2016 and don’t seem to realize that we are at a point where it will be a hard fight to merely get into a position where it can be possible to bring the government back in line with those principles.

We can be critical of Trump’s character flaws while at the same time recognizing his pugnaciousness is achieving results. It is lamentable that we have had to make the choice between character and an effective tactician, but that was where 2016 left us. Given what has gone on since then, it’s likely we face the same choice in 2020. ~The Patriot Post

The Hillyer Plan to Save

Social Security and Medicare

by Quin Hillyer

{spectator.org} ~ Monday’s release of the annual report from the trustees of Social Security and Medicare reminds us, this time all the more urgently, that Congress and the president are derelict in their duty... Without concerted action of the sort Ronald Reagan, Bob Dole, and Daniel Patrick Moynihan used to substantially increase the life of Social Security in a grand compromise in 1983, both federal retirement programs face doom. Trustees say that for the first time since 1982, the main Social Security trust fund is expected next year to pay out more money than it takes in. By 2035, Social Security’s official trust fund will be entirely depleted, they say. The trust fund for Medicare Part A will be depleted far sooner than that, in 2026. Yes, sustained economic growth can push back the respective days of reckoning by a year or two. On the other hand, with unemployment at a 50-year low, history says the odds of a slowdown or recession are higher than those of continued growth — which means the depletion dates, if anything, are more likely to be, not later, than 2035 and 2026. The situation screams out for significant legislation. Fortunately, I have a proposal. In some ways its effect is mostly to shift the book-keeping for various streams of federal tax money, to the detriment of the non-retirement-systems debt and the benefit of the retirement systems. Nonetheless, I believe it will help the economy at the margins, provide for higher wages for non-executives, and provide more public clarity and confidence. Space doesn’t allow a full explanation of each part of the Hillyer Plan. That will come in later columns. Herewith, though, is a list of the elements thereof. The first is a very rough tradeoff of “general fund” revenue for money specifically dedicated to Social Security and Medicare — with the added goal of making accounting less complicated by dealing in whole or round numbers. The current payroll tax dedicated to Social Security is 6.2 % each for the employee and the employer, and the Medicare tax is 1.45% each for the employee and employer. I would bump the former up to 6.5% each, and the latter up to 1.5% each. End those weird fractions, and put the tiny increases into the two trust funds. To help corporations pay for the added cost, let’s cut the top corporate income tax rate from 21 % to an even 20%. At the same time, the 20% deduction for pass-through businesses, which under current law will end after 2025, should be made permanent.Two more major changes will lengthen the actuarial life of both programs. First, lawmakers should bite the bullet and do exactly what Dole and company did in 1983, and allow the age for qualification for full benefits once again to rise. The Social Security full-eligibility age is now rising to 67 by 2027. Let it keep rising, over the subsequent six years, to 68. Likewise, the Medicare full-eligibility age, now 65, should start rising slowly to 66...

scumbag-James Clapper Knew There Was

No Evidence of Trump-Russia Collusion In 2016

by H.A. Goodman

{ thefederalist.com } ~ Long before the special counsel probe ended in confirming there was no collusion between President Trump and Russia... the U.S. government knew there was no evidence of a vast conspiracy between Trump and a foreign power. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced the appointment of Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller to investigate “ties between President Trump’s campaign and Russian officials” on May 17, 2017. President scumbag/liar-nObama’s director of national intelligence scumbag-James Clapper had access and was privy to all the “evidence” the U.S. government collected since the Russia investigation began in July 2016. From July 2016 until scumbag-Clapper’s appearance on “Meet the Press” in March 2017, not one shred of evidence linked anyone in Trump’s campaign to allegations listed in the Christopher Steele dossier or Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos’s meeting with Australian diplomat Alexander Downer. scumbag-Clapper stated to Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on March 5, 2017 that the National Security Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Central Intelligence Agency had collected “no evidence” regarding “improper contacts” between Trump and Russia: CHUCK TODD: Well, that’s an important revelation at this point. Let me ask you this. Does intelligence exist that can definitively answer the following question, whether there were improper contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian officials? scumbag-JAMES CLAPPER: We did not include any evidence in our report, and I say, ‘our,’ that’s N.S.A., F.B.I. and C.I.A., with my office, the Director of National Intelligence, that had anything, that had any reflection of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians. There was no evidence of that included in our report. CHUCK TODD: I understand that. But does it exist? scumbag-JAMES CLAPPER: Not to my knowledge. CHUCK TODD: If it existed, it would have been in this report? scumbag-JAMES CLAPPER: This could have unfolded or become available in the time since I left the government. CHUCK TODD: At some– scumbag-JAMES CLAPPER: But at the time, we had no evidence of such collusion. So, President scumbag/liar-nObama’s top intelligence official and a man with access to FBI, CIA, and NSA surveillance on President Trump’s campaign stated categorically that no evidence existed of “any reflection of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians.” This was two months before Rosenstein appointed dirty cop-Mueller special counsel, and Clapper’s knowledge dated into 2017. So why did Rosenstein appoint dirty cop-Mueller?...

How Palestinian Leaders Encourage Terrorism

by Bassam Tawil

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas recently reaffirmed his longstanding commitment to pay families of Palestinians who were imprisoned for or killed during terrorist attacks against Israelis... "We have been paying the families of the prisoners and martyrs since 1965," Abbas told Arab League Foreign Ministers during an emergency meeting in Cairo on April 21. Abbas's insistence on paying millions of dollars to families of Palestinians who murder or attempt to murder Jews, has cost the Palestinians a heavy price. In the past two months, Abbas's government has been unable to pay full salaries to its 200,000 employees. The reason? Israel has begun deducting, from the tax revenues it collects on behalf of the Palestinians, the same amount the PA government pays each month to the families of the prisoners and "martyrs." Facing a sharp financial crisis, the PA government says it has been forced to pay its employees only 50%-60% of their salaries because Israel has been deducting the large sums of money that were supposed to go to the families of prisoners and terrorists who carried out attacks against Israelis. In his speech before the Arab foreign ministers, Abbas urged the Arab states to provide the Palestinians with financial aid to prevent the PA from collapsing. Referring to Israel's opposition to the payments made to Palestinian terrorists and their families, Abbas explained: "We've been paying them since 1965 because they died or were imprisoned or wounded for the sake of a national interest and not for personal reasons. It's our duty to care for the families." Abbas further claimed that Israel has deducted more than $100 million from the tax revenues in the past two months...

Terrorists in Sri Lanka swore

allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

by Thomas Joscelyn

{longwarjournal.org} ~ The Islamic State has released three statements and a video claiming responsibility for the bombings in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday... The first, a terse statement by Amaq News Agency, offered no details about the operation, saying simply that a security “source” told the group’s media arm that the so-called caliphate’s “fighters” had carried out the attacks. The Islamic State subsequently released a longer statement, saying that 1,000 people were killed or injured in the orchestrated assault. That statement highlighted the fact that Christians were the intended target, as they are supposedly at war with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s enterprise. The statement also provides the aliases for several of the bombers. Amaq News then produced a third statement, including a photo of the eight alleged perpetrators standing in front of the flag typically flown by the group. The photo is reproduced above. Only one of the eight is unmasked. That individual, seen in the middle, appears to be Zahran Hashim, a fiery ideologue who spread his hateful message in online videos. Importantly, Amaq has also posted a video showing the eight perpetrators, led by Hashim, swearing allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi before their day of terror. Amaq has disseminated similar videos after a series of attacks in the past. The footage is intended to underscore the idea that Baghdadi’s loyalists were responsible. As FDD’s Long War Journal has previously assessed, Amaq’s videos demonstrate that there is at least a digital tie between the perpetrators and the Islamic State’s network...

Should Natural Born Citizenship Be a

Requirement for All Federal Elected Offices?

by Dean Malik

{ americanthinker.com } ~ On February 27, 2019 at a speaking engagement held at a Washington D.C. bookstore, newly elected Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar stated... with apparent reference to both American Jews and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee ("AIPAC"), "I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country." This comment followed recent tweets from Omar suggesting that American elected officials were "bought off" by the pro-Israel lobby, and earlier tweets from before she was elected, beseeching Allah to punish Israel for its "evil deeds." The tweets were roundly condemned as dog whistle anti-Semitism both by conservatives and members of her own party. However, the greater question raised by Omar's conduct before and after her election pertains to the path that brought her to the United States as a young refugee from a war-torn country on the Horn of Africa and ultimately lead to her becoming a powerful elected official. In an attempt to defend or minimize Omar's statements, House Speaker Nancy Pulosi offered, "She didn't have a full appreciation of how her words landed on other people where these words have a history and cultural impact that might have been unknown to her." The import of Pulosi's comments is clear. Omar comes, as an immigrant, from a different cultural milieu, and she could not be expected to understand how Americans, given our culture and history, would interpret her statements. Whether joking about the American view of terrorist organization al Qaeda, dismissing the notion that America is a "Christian" nation, or referring to the 9/11 terrorist attacks as "some people did something," Omar's apparent indifference to American culture and history has been showcased on multiple occasions. It is fitting, albeit ironic, that Omar, a naturalized American citizen, by raising an accusation of dual loyalty and self-dealing against other Americans, has opened the door to a conversation about whether natural born citizenship should in fact be a requirement for the very office she holds. Under Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution, natural born citizenship is a requirement for eligibility to run for President; the section provides. Article I, Sections 2 and 3 of the Constitution require only citizenship for seven and nine years respectively, and residency in the United States, for eligibility to run for Congress or Senate. Accordingly, immigrants such as Ilhan Omar who became citizens through naturalization are able to serve in Congress and the Senate, but could not serve as President of the United States...

dinky-Warren's 'Universal Free College' Plan

Is No Free Lunch

Thomas Gallatin: The country’s favorite 1/1024th Native American and Democrat presidential candidate Elizabeth dinky-Warren recently released her plan for tackling the growing problem of student-loan debt. Currently running a disappointing third in her own state, Warren’s pitch is a desperate attempt to gain attention by running to the left of current Democrat frontrunner commie-Bernie Sanders. Warren is seeking to take the lead on government-provided “free stuff” by offering some actual details as to how she would implement a “free college” program. Not surprisingly, the former college professor’s plan is chock-full of stuff that would make any Marxist revolutionary proud. No wonder she made her pitch on Vladimir Lenin’s birthday.

dinky-Warren’s first order of business would be to “solve” the problem of student-loan debt by simply canceling it. She explains, “The first step in addressing this crisis is to deal head-on with the outstanding debt that is weighing down millions of families and should never have been required in the first place. That’s why I’m calling for something truly transformational — the cancellation of up to $50,000 in student loan debt for 42 million Americans.” So, by a stroke of the pen, she would eliminate at least part of the obligations of “more than 95% of the nearly 45 million Americans with student loan debt,” as well as “wipe out student loan debt entirely for more than 75% of the Americans with that debt.”

But everyone knows that money doesn’t grow on trees; somebody has to pay for this. Warren has an answer for that: “the government,” which of course any thinking person knows means taxpayers. However, she contends that it would only be “a one-time cost … of $640 billion.” It’s the second part of her plan, the Universal Free College program, that would tip the scales at “roughly $1.25 trillion over ten years” and should really be getting everyone’s attention. (Americans owe a collective $1.5 trillion in student loans.) But, don’t worry — Warren has this cost figured out as well. You see, only “the 75,000 wealthiest families in the country” will be charged. She calls it her “Ultra-Millionaire Tax” on “those with fortunes of $50 million or more.” This is plainly wealth redistribution.

dinky-Warren is committed to the “universal” aspect of her plan — so much so that she would “prohibit public colleges from considering citizenship status” during admissions decisions. Her plan would also “ban for-profit colleges from receiving any federal dollars (including military benefits and federal student loans), so they can no longer use taxpayer dollars to enrich themselves while targeting lower-income students, service members, and students of color and leaving them saddled with debt.” Evidently, Warren would rather they become permanent wards of the state.

Some other thoughts from our friends on the Right:

“We are familiar with all the fine rhetoric about higher education being the key to preparing the 21st-century work force and maximizing its productivity, but we cannot help but notice that this is being championed by the same people who have helped to make our K–12 education system the grotesque laughing stock that it is. The public schools are in effect a dysfunctional and wildly corrupt full-employment program for Democratic constituencies, and that same dynamic has driven much of the growth in college administration, too: There are a lot of deputy deans of social justice out there. We don’t need one more, much less 10,000 more.” —National Review

“As long as the government makes it easy to get loans, colleges are going to continue increasing tuition and fees above the rate of inflation. If the federal government bails out students, colleges will increase costs even further as everyone realizes there will be no consequence.” —Erick Erickson

“This pander will not only be incredibly costly, but it will be a slap in the face to those who have already struggled to pay off their student loans without government assistance.” —Philip Klein ~The Patriot Post

Russia Reveals New Sub

Carrying Nuclear-Tipped Drone

by Bill Gertz

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Russia unveiled one of its nuclear superweapons on Tuesday launching its first submarine capable of firing high-speed underwater drones armed with massive nuclear warheads... The first Project 09852 submarine described as the "special purpose" nuclear powered Belgorod vessel was launched from Sevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk in northern Russia, the government news outlet TASS reported. The report included a photograph of a large underwater vessel with a twin tail and wings. According to the report, the submarine will be armed with six nuclear drones that have been labeled Kanyon by the Pentagon and Poseidon by the Russians. The new submarine appears to be a variant of one of Russia's Oscar-class, cruise missile-firing submarines first built in the 1992 and upgraded during the 2010s. The report said details of the new submarine remain secret. Mikhail Budnichenko, director of the shipyard, said during the launch ceremony that "the enterprise’s shipbuilders will fulfill all the tasks of building ships within the established timeframe and with high quality." The submarine will be finished while afloat and TASS quoted a defense source saying the nuclear reactor will be tested later this year, with sea trials set for 2020 and deployment by the end of that year. Russian President Vladimir Putin, who announced the nuclear drone weapon in March 2018, reportedly watched the submarine launch from Moscow via video. The Washington Free Beacon first reported the existence of the nuclear drone in 2015. Defense officials described the Kanyon as a weapon capable of blowing up entire ports and cities, such as Kings Bay, Ga. and Puget Sound in Washington state where U.S. nuclear missile submarines are based...

Lockheed Martin Working $2.5B

in Hypersonic Weapon Contracts

by Sam LaGrone

{ news.usni.org } ~ Lockheed Martin is working through $2.5 billion in military contracts to develop a variety of hypersonic weapons in a bid to catch up with developments from China and Russia... company chief executive Marillyn Hewson said during a Tuesday earnings calls. The Pentagon has made moves to accelerate the development of hypersonic weapons in its latest guiding documents, and that has driven investment from the company, Hewson said. “We have been investing in hypersonics for many, many years, and as a result of that, that’s why we’re leading in this trend of being able to bring capabilities forward. In terms in how the market is developing, it’s basically threat-driven, if you look at what was in the National Defense Strategy, Missile Defense Review,” she said. “It’s clearly a need for us to not only address hypersonics but also counter-hypersonics as well.” In the Tuesday morning call, Hewson highlighted the late-February contract with the Navy for development and testing of the service’s conventional prompt global strike concept that would notionally create a hypersonic glide vehicle that would ride a ballistic missile launched from a submarine down to its target. “We received an order for over $800 million from the U.S. Navy to design, develop, build and integrate technologies to support the flight test demonstration of a new hypersonic boost-glide weapons system. Lockheed Martin was awarded the Navy’s conventional prompt strike weapons contract and will provide flight articles and support equipment for the systems flight test,” Hewson said...

NRA: Supreme Court Should Move Forward on

Gun Case Despite NYC Attempt to Undercut Suit

by Stephen Gutowski

{ freebeacon.com } ~ The National Rifle Association on Monday called New York City's proposed change to the gun law set to be examined by the Supreme Court a "feeble attempt to stop the lawsuit over the city’s unconstitutional firearm travel ban... " that shouldn't prevent the Court from hearing the case. "New York City's problem is they think they're regulating a privilege instead of a fundamental, constitutional right," Chris W. Cox, executive director of the NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, said in a statement. "The city's attempt to slightly modify its unconstitutional law is a nakedly transparent delay tactic. We are confident that the U.S. Supreme Court will reject New York's shenanigans and allow the case to proceed." The group's statement comes in response to dueling court filings from lawyers representing New York City and the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association. Earlier this month, the city filed a motion informing the Court that a proposed rule change would address the complaints made by the gun-rights activists suing the city. It said the restrictions on traveling outside of the city with a legally owned gun would be reduced and gun owners would be able to legally travel to a few new locations with their firearms. "If adopted in accordance with established procedures, the proposed rule would render this case moot before the parties complete the merits briefing in this case," Dearing said. "For this reason, I also write to request that the Court stay the current briefing schedule pending final action on the proposed rule."...

Scam of the Century: Scientific

Study Destroys Electric Car Debate

by C. Douglas Golden

{westernjournal.com} ~ If you think you’re saving the environment by driving a Tesla, well, let me let you in on a bit of a secret... You could perhaps emit less carbon if you went with a diesel car. The findings of a new study by a group of German scientists seem counter intuitive at first. They found that electric vehicles in their home country accounted for more emissions than those smoggy diesels. Until, that is, you realize that “zero emissions” vehicles aren’t really so zero emissions.“When CO2 emissions linked to the production of batteries and the German energy mix — in which coal still plays an important role — are taken into consideration, electric vehicles emit 11% to 28% more than their diesel counterparts, according to the study, presented on Wednesday at the Ifo Institute in Munich,” the Brussels Times reported. “Mining and processing the lithium, cobalt and manganese used for batteries consume a great deal of energy,” the report said. “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.” When you factor in the energy needed to charge the batteries, this ups that total to 156 to 180 grams of CO2 per kilometer.The study’s authors recommended that instead of pushing for the adoption of “zero emission” electric cars, European officials should instead move toward other sources of power for automobiles — namely methane, “whose emissions are one-third less than those of diesel motors.” This, by the way, is hardly the only study that’s questioned whether electric cars are really as environmentally friendly as their proponents claim. A 2017 study by researchers at the University of Michigan found that the amount of CO2 emitted by electric cars varied wildly by country, but it certainly wasn’t zero...

Sanctuary Jurisdictions Are Not

Practicing Federalism

Lewis Morris: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has proven once again why it is a reliable rubber stamp for the Left. In a seriously flawed ruling late last week, a three-judge panel from the Ninth Circuit unanimously upheld the majority of California’s laws making it a sanctuary state — laws that were deliberately designed to frustrate the federal government’s ability to enforce immigration law.

The ruling was in response to a Justice Department challenge to laws passed in the early days of the anti-Trump, pro-illegal immigrant hysteria. The three laws passed by the California legislature included the following: AB 450, which prohibits private employers from voluntarily cooperating with federal immigration officials; SB 54, which prevents state and local law-enforcement officials from providing information to the feds about the release date of deportable criminal aliens in their custody; and AB 103, which imposes a state-run inspection and review regime on the federal detention of aliens held in facilities under federal contracts.

U.S. District Court Judge John Mendez threw out the Justice Department lawsuit challenging the laws in 2018, and the Trump administration promptly appealed. It is likely to be appealed again, this time to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Ninth Circuit ruling did find that part of AB 103 improperly intruded on federal authority, claiming that certain portions of the law imposing additional economic burden on the federal government were invalid. As for the other laws, the appeals court ruled that California was well within its constitutional right to create laws that prevented it from being compelled to follow federal statute.

George Mason University law professor Ilya Somin agreed with this illogic, claiming that the Ninth Circuit ruling was a triumph for federalism.

They’re all wrong.

While it is a true and established legal principle that the federal government cannot “commandeer” state governments to enforce federal law, that is not what is happening here. In California, and many other state and municipal jurisdictions providing material comfort and legal sanctuary to illegal immigrants, the state government is actively pursuing a course of action to impede the federal government from enforcing federal law.

When states create laws within their jurisdictions that are meant to manage what goes on within their borders, that is federalism. When states create laws to deliberately block the federal government from doing its constitutionally mandated duty, that’s anarchy.

The Supreme Court established back in 1875 that the federal government is the final arbiter when it comes to immigration law, and that the federal government holds the power to enforce that law, partly through its regulation of interstate commerce. Until Trump became president, no one gave too much more thought to the matter. But now that leftists are determined to erase America’s borders in a diabolical attempt to grow their own ranks via illegal immigrants put on the government dole, Democrats will do anything they can to frustrate federal enforcement of immigration. And their friends and cohorts in the courts and the media are going along.

Somin, a usually reliable legal scholar, tried to further bolster his erroneous reading of the Ninth Circuit’s actions by mentioning that there was an “ideologically disparate group of judges” appointed by both Republicans and Democrats who challenged Trump’s actions on immigration. Apparently, this is supposed to add weight to the most recent Ninth Circus fiasco. The only reasonable response to this factoid would be, so what? Many of these judges who have rejected the opportunity to enforce immigration law were appointed by presidents who also failed to do anything to fix our immigration problem. scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack scumbag/liar-nObama all paid a lot of lip service to the issue, but none was willing to put their political reputation on the line to do anything. In fact, scumbag/liar-nObama did more than any previous president to actively subvert our immigration system.

The Trump administration is unlikely to give up the fight just because a “bipartisan” group of judges ruled against it. President Trump has vowed to do something about immigration since the heady days on the campaign trail in 2015 and 2016. By continuing to push for protected borders and enforcement of perfectly reasonable existing immigration laws, he has exposed the enemies of Liberty for their protections and material support for illegal immigrants at the expense of everyone else. ~The Patriot Post

Political Editors

Wednesday Top News Executive Summary

Media Editors: TEAM TRUMP FIGHTS BACK: “The White House plans to fight a subpoena issued by the House Judiciary Committee for former White House counsel Donald McGahn to testify… The Trump administration also plans to oppose other requests from House committees for the testimony of current and former aides about actions in the White House described in special counsel dirty cop-Robert S. Mueller III’s report… White House lawyers plan to tell attorneys for administration witnesses called by the House that they will be asserting executive privilege over their testimony.” (The Washington Post)

TAX-RETURN DEADLINE COMES AND GOES: “The Treasury Department on Tuesday missed a second deadline from House Democrats to provide President Trump’s tax returns. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a letter that the department can’t act on the request ‘unless and until it is determined to be consistent with law.’ He said that he expects Treasury to provide the House Ways and Means Committee with a final decision by May 6 after receiving legal conclusions from the Department of Justice.” (The Hill)

SCOTUS AMIABLE TOWARD CITIZENSHIP QUESTION: “The U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Tuesday appeared poised to hand President Donald Trump a victory on his administration’s plan to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. … Conservative justices signaled during arguments in the closely watched case a willingness to overturn a lower court ruling that blocked the question and appeared untroubled by the administration’s stated justification for using the citizenship question in the decennial population count.” (Reuters)

ABOUT THAT NEW POLICY ON HOMOSEXUAL LEADERS… “More than 200 individuals have come forward with new allegations of sexual abuse by members of the Boy Scouts of America in recent weeks as a trio of law firms seek to uncover unidentified child abusers. A few of the victims are young, still underage or in their 20s, but many have held their secrets close for decades,” reports USA Today. “Only a handful of the new allegations are related to previously identified perpetrators. About 90% … are new. … The Scouting organization faces 200 lawsuits that its insurance companies threatened to stop covering.” All told, there may be more than 12,000 victims.

STOCK MARKET REGAINS COMPOSURE: “The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite rallied on Tuesday to notch record closing highs as Wall Street cheered stronger-than-expected quarterly profits from some of the largest publicly traded U.S. companies. … Tuesday’s move toward an all-time closing high comes less than six months after a sharp decline in late December, which led the S&P 500 to its worst annual performance since 2008. But stocks quickly turned around as the Federal Reserve reversed course on monetary policy while the tone around U.S.-China trade talks improved.” (CNBC)

THE CLOWN CIRCUS GROWS: “Former Vice President loose lips-Joe Biden will announce his presidential bid Thursday morning with an online video… loose lips-Biden will then appear in Pittsburgh on Monday for an event at a local union hall, NBC News has learned. loose lips-Biden will then embark on a tour of the four early voting states — Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada — in the following weeks.” (NBC News)

BURGEONING MIGRATION NUMBERS: According to the Texas Tribune, “Less than seven months into the fiscal year, the number of undocumented immigrants who have been apprehended or turned themselves in to U.S. Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley has already surpassed last year’s total.” The 164,000 illegals arrested just since October is higher than the 2018 aggregate of 162,262. “The increase is the result of an ongoing surge of migrants, most of them from Central America.” Meanwhile, the Washington Examiner reports, “The Mexican government says it has deported 15,000 migrants who illegally entered Mexico from Guatemala and had been traveling as part of caravans in hopes of reaching the United States’ southern border,” though “thousands more people continue to traverse the country intent on reaching the U.S.”

VILLAGE ACADEMIC CURRICULUM: “Beginning in 2020, many Advanced Placement students will be using an American History textbook that suggests President Trump is mentally ill and that depicts him and many of his supporters as racists. The book asserts that ‘[Trump’s] not very-hidden racism connected with a significant number of primary voters.’ What connected with a significant number of primary voters was Trump’s strong opposition to illegal immigration and his concern over terrorists entering the U.S. The textbook effectively characterizes these concerns as ‘not very-hidden racism’ and those who share them as racists. … The textbook goes further. It says that scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton supporters ‘worried about the mental stability of the president-elect.’” (Power Line)

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME IN THE UK: “President Trump will pay a state visit to the U.K. in early June, according to Buckingham Palace, which says Trump has accepted an invitation from Queen Elizabeth II to visit America’s closest ally. … Even before Buckingham Palace and the White House issued confirmation of the trip, protest groups in the U.K. announced their plans to demonstrate against the American president and his policies. ‘We have to march in huge numbers against his racism, misogyny, transphobia, and the threat he poses to the planet,’ activist and writer Owen Jones wrote, in a tweet that was shared by the U.K.‘s Stop Trump Coalition.” (NPR)

SRI LANKA UPDATE: “President Maithripala Sirisena demanded the resignations of two top security officials Wednesday as new details emerged about the nine suicide bombers who carried out devastating attacks that killed 359 people on Easter Sunday. Sirisena asked Pujith Jayasundara, the country’s police chief, and Hemasiri Fernando, the defense secretary, to step down amid a growing furor surrounding the government’s failure to act on intelligence warning of possible attacks on churches by an obscure Islamist extremist group.” (The Washington Post)

FBI found scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton's emails

in scumbag/liar-nObama White House,

former top official says

by Daniel Chaitin

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ A former top FBI official said a repository of scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton's emails was obtained by the scumbag/liar-nObama White House. As part of a court-ordered discovery related to scumbag/liar-Clinton’s unauthorized email server... Bill Priestap was asked by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch to identify representatives of scumbag/liar-Clinton, her State Department staff, and government agencies from which “email repositories were obtained" by the FBI. He divulged a nonexhaustive list, which included the Executive Office of the President. Other people mentioned were former scumbag/liar-Clinton aides Cheryl Mills, Heather Samuelson, Jacob Sullivan, and Justin Cooper, former scumbag/liar-Clinton information technology staffer Bryan Pagliano, the State Department, Secret Service, and Washington-based law firm Williams and Connolly. Priestep answered questions in writing and under oath as part of U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth's ruling earlier this year that discovery could commence examining the former secretary of state’s use of the server, encompassing scumbag/liar-nObama administration senior State Department officials, lawyers, and scumbag/liar-Clinton aides, as well as Priestap. Judicial Watch shared Priestep's recent testimony on Tuesday, at a time when Republican allies of President Trump, as well as the Justice Department and its inspector general, are looking into possible misconduct by top DOJ and FBI officials stemming back to the scumbag/liar-nObama administration to undermine Trump as a candidate and president...

The personal cost of the

Trump-Russia investigation

by Byron York

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's investigation is over, but the aftereffects of the Trump-Russia affair live on... One such aftereffect is the reluctance of some important figures in the 2016 campaign to speak out, for fear of continued legal entanglements. Take J.D. Gordon, who served as the Trump campaign's director of national security. Never accused of any wrongdoing, he played a central role in one of the most controversial and least understood episodes of the Trump-Russia matter: the approval of the 2016 GOP platform at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. On July 18, 2016, the Washington Post published a story headlined, "Trump campaign guts GOP's anti-Russia stance on Ukraine." Below a scandalously erroneous headline, the piece reported that the campaign, acting contrary to the views of "almost all Republican foreign policy leaders," killed a proposal that the United States provide lethal aid to Ukraine in its struggle against Russia. Why would the campaign do that? Democrats quickly accused Trump of watering down national security, of selling out Ukraine, to please Russian President Vladimir Putin. It got worse. As a media frenzy built, Trump opponents cited the platform as Exhibit A in their case that the Trump campaign and Russia conspired to influence the 2016 election. As the tale went, the Russians helped Trump, he was in their debt, and he paid them back by supporting weakened U.S. policy toward Ukraine. It was all entirely wrong. If anyone bothered to look into the facts — almost no one did — they would have discovered that the original draft of the GOP platform was quite strong on Russia and Ukraine. Not a word of it was removed. Then a single delegate proposed an amendment that would have added promises of tougher U.S. sanctions on Russia, greater military coordination with NATO, and the provision of "lethal defensive weapons" to Ukraine's armed forces...

Divided Supreme Court Poised

To Allow Citizenship Question On 2020 Census

by Kevin Daley

{ dailycaller.com } ~ A deeply divided Supreme Court appeared ready to allow the Trump administration to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census form during a Tuesday morning argument... which was alternatively technical and heated. The Court’s divide followed the usual ideological lines. Though the case involves several complex questions, ultimately the Court’s conservatives seemed to say that the citizenship question is ordinary and appropriate for the census. “The principal purpose is to count the population, but we’ve had demographic questions on the census,” Chief Justice John Roberts said. “I don’t know how far back, but certainly it’s quite common.” “The questions go quite beyond how many people there are,” Roberts added, noting the census forms include questions touching finances and lifestyles. A coalition of Democratic cities, states, and civil rights groups sued the Trump administration after Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who supervises the Census Bureau, authorized the inclusion of the citizenship question on the 2020 census form. The plaintiffs, citing the Census Bureau’s own findings, say the question will diminish non-citizen participation. As such, the plaintiffs warn that the government’s move strikes at the very heart of democracy, since population is used to apportion federal funds, seats in Congress, and draw legislative district lines... https://dailycaller.com/2019/04/23/supreme-court-census-arguments/?utm_medium=email

What’s Wrong with the Democrats’

New Health Plan?

by John C. Goodman

{ forbes.com } ~ Democrats in the House of Representatives have put aside grandiose thoughts of Medicare-for-All and single-payer health insurance – at least for a day or two... Instead, they have introduced a new health plan with a more modest goal: making scumbag/liar-nObamacare work better. It has three elements: Expand health insurance subsidies to everyone. Individuals are currently ineligible for help if they earn $48,560 or more. Create a national reinsurance pool to subsidize insurance companies that incur high costs. Reverse Trump administration regulations that make it easier to obtain limited-benefit insurance. So, what’s wrong with that? For starters, it uses taxpayer dollars to give money to rich people and insurance companies. It also forces healthy families to buy insurance that doesn’t meet their needs for a price that is artificially high. But the worst feature of the plan is that it doesn’t solve scumbag/liar-nObamacare’s most important problem: people with chronic health conditions are unable to see the best doctors and enter the best hospitals. According to Nancy Pulosi, Democrats took back the House because of health care. By one estimate, Democratic candidates spent $90 million on health care ads. And in most cases, the message was simple: people with pre-existing conditions need protection. Protection from what? From Republicans, if you take seriously the Democratic argument that the GOP wants to remove sick people from their hospital beds and throw them out on the sidewalk once their insurance runs out. Once you get past that absurd bugaboo, however, there is a much bigger threat. People with medical problems need protection from scumbag/liar-nObamacare itself...

Illegal-alien Invasion Crisis

Not Just at the Border

by R. Cort Kirkwood

{ thenewamerican.com } ~ Bad as the crisis is in the southwest for Customs and Border Protection, it doesn’t seem much better in the towns and cities where illegal aliens hide... once they slip past CBP or or CBP releases them. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has nailed nearly 140 illegals in the last few weeks who were identity thieves, welfare fraudsters, drug traffickers, drunk drivers, and sex fiends. The agency deported a Salvadoran gangbanger wanted back home where he belongs. The upshot? Illegal-alien criminals are working overtime to rob, maim, molest, and kill Americans. On Thursday, ICE reported, federal prosecutors nailed 12 Dominicans on a long list of crimes that involved identity and welfare theft and drug trafficking. “The investigation targeted document and benefit offenders who allegedly used the identities of U.S. citizens from Puerto Rico as their own,” ICE reported. Ten of the criminals were illegal aliens, and six “have criminal records in the names of the victims whose identities they stole.” Among the charges the dozen face are aggravated identity theft and misusing a Social Security number. Nine federal search warrants permitted the seizure of narcotics and bogus IDs. The probe of the 12 began in December. Federal prosecutors say the 12 were using Puerto Rican identities, and that “analysis from this phase of the investigation revealed that many of the wire transfers discovered are believed to be illicit proceeds of narcotics trafficking and/or alien smuggling, with funds wired to areas of concern in Mexico, including Juarez, Sinaloa, Mexico City, and Culiacan, and along with Southwest U.S. border.”...

Russian State Media Binges

on Fox Prime Time and Sean Hannity Reruns

by Lachlan Markay

{ thedailybeast.com } ~ Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report implicated the Russian government in a widespread campaign of hacking and political disinformation during the 2016 presidential campaign... Russian state media is nonetheless trumpeting the reaction of U.S. conservatives to the report, which found that the Trump campaign was not complicit in those election-meddling efforts, as evidence of a broad anti-Russian conspiracy in the U.S. And it’s using at least one prominent American conservative voice to do so. The Russian government-owned Rossiya 1 news channel recently broadcasted excerpts from Fox News primetime host Sean Hannity’s on-air monologue, which hammered “media hysteria” over the report and allegations of campaign “collusion” with the Russian government. In its own editorializing, Rossiya 1 described the report as “bestseller about the absence of collusion between Trump and Russia,” and blamed the political press and U.S. intelligence agencies for “hounding Trump” over the allegations, according to a translation by journalist and Daily Beast contributor Julia Davis. Though the report found no criminal conspiracy by the Trump campaign or any American to assist in Russian election-meddling efforts, it did confirm reporting that the Trump campaign solicited opposition research on 2016 rival scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton from Russian nationals whom it understood were acting at the behest of that country’s government. dirty cop-Mueller’s report also extensively documents allegedly criminal efforts by Kremlin actors to hack email accounts associated with prominent Democrats and sow political discord through social media disinformation campaigns. In a separate Rossiya 1 segment this week, the channel described dirty cop-Mueller’s investigation as “an attempt to threaten the current government and influence U.S. foreign policy without offering any specific evidence.”...

Time to Enforce the Law on Visa Overstays

Political Editors: Democrats and the Leftmedia have often sought to downplay President Donald Trump’s loudly voiced calls to tackle the problem of illegal immigration — specifically his emphasis on securing the southern border — by pivoting to point out that the “bigger” problem is visa overstays. While that is a statistically arguable observation (at least one study found that the number of visa overstays represents a higher percentage of illegal aliens than illegal border crossers do) this response is a disingenuous objection to dealing with the real crisis at the border. Why can’t both problems be addressed? Well, it appears that Trump has decided to do just that, calling the Democrats’ bluff.

On Monday, the president ordered the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to find ways to limit the number of foreigners overstaying their short-term visas. The White House stated that the administration will “find effective ways to combat the rampant number of overstays” that are “undermining the rule of law and straining resources that are needed to address the crisis at our southern border.”

In signing his executive order, Trump stated, “We have laws that need to be followed to keep Americans safe and to protect the integrity of a system where, right now, there are millions of people who are waiting in line to come to America to see the American Dream.” It will be interesting to see how many Democrats object to Trump’s latest order to enforce the law — or what judge will strike it down. ~The Patriot Post

Pulosi, scumbag-Hoyer Say Impeachment Is

Off The Table, Leaving Democrats Crushed

by Emily Zanotti

{ dailywire.com } ~ The top two Democrats in the House, Speaker Nancy Pulosi (D-CA) and House Majority Leader scumbag-Steny Hoyer (D-MD), have called a time out on impeaching President Donald Trump,.. crushing the dreams of thousands of progressive activists and many of their House colleagues. Pulosi announced the decision to forgo instituting impeachment proceedings on a call with House leaders Tuesday morning telling 170 Democratic Members of Congress on an insane, 90-minute conference call, that the House will instead focus on investigating the President and let the American people decide what to believe in November of 2020. Fox News reports that Pulosi told her colleagues that "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," she added, before claiming that the "facts" simply don't point to removing the President from office quite yet -- but that further investigation could lead there. "We don’t have to go to articles of impeachment to obtain the facts, the presentation of facts.” In a letter released ahead of the call, Pulosi got into greater detail. “While our views range from proceeding to investigate the findings of the dirty cop-Mueller report or proceeding directly to impeachment, we all firmly agree that we should proceed down a path of finding the truth,” Pulosi wrote to Democratic Members. “It is also important to know that the facts regarding holding the president accountable can be gained outside of impeachment hearings.”... Still can't see the true facts when its in front of them. https://www.dailywire.com/news/46317/pelosi-hoyer-say-impeachment-table-leaving-emily-zanotti

Top Democrat threatens to hold

former White House official in contempt

by Caitlin Yilek

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ House Oversight Committee Chairman scumbag-Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said Tuesday that Democrats are moving toward holding a former White House personnel security director in contempt... after he refused to answer the panel’s questions. Carl Kline, a former official who oversaw the security clearance process at the White House, was subpoenaed last week to appear before the committee Tuesday, but his lawyer said he would not appear after the White House directed him not to comply with the subpoena. “The White House and Mr. Kline now stand in open defiance of a duly authorized congressional subpoena with no assertion of any privilege of any kind by President Trump,” scumbag-Cummings said in a statement.“Based on these actions, it appears that the President believes that the Constitution does not apply to his White House, that he may order officials at will to violate their legal obligations, and that he may obstruct attempts by Congress to conduct oversight. It also appears that the White House believes that it may dictate to Congress — an independent and co-equal branch of government — the scope of its investigations and even the rules by which it conducts them,” he said. It’s the latest escalation in a tense standoff between scumbag-Cummings and the president. Trump and his businesses sued scumbag-Cummings on Monday in response to the Democrat subpoenaing Trump’s accounting firm, Mazars USA, in an effort to obtain 10 years of the president’s financial records.

Why isn’t the FBI visiting scumbag/liar-Hillary’s house and putting her in jail, for all the laws she has broken?! I know our nation is at risk. If we keep sitting in our churches, hiding out behind the four walls of the church, we will keep losing. It’s time to come out of hiding and stand up! This may be our last chance for liberty and lasting peace. I don’t come with violence. I don’t have a weapon on me. But I’m going to tell you, if we do not push back against this evil coup, this anti-American cabal, we will lose all our God-given rights. it’s now or never. Do you trust Bill Barr? Do you trust President Trump?...

Another Terrorist Gets Early Prison Release

by Patrick Dunleavy

{ investigativeproject.org } ~ Judith Clark, a member of the Weather Underground who was serving a 75-year to life prison sentence for her role in a 1981 robbery that left two police officers and a bank security guard dead... soon will walk out of the Bedford Hills penitentiary a free woman. Clark, according to her original sentence, should not have been released before 2056. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo granted her clemency, reducing her sentence by 40 years. Another terrorist, another early out. I recently wrote about the pending releases of John Walker Lindh and Kevin James. Both of those convicted terrorists received approximately 2½ off years their sentences for "good behavior." Terrorists being released from prison is unsettling. Terrorists getting let out early is mind boggling. People who take up arms against the United States should be considered enemy combatants and not common criminals. Clark was a member of the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist organization that had declared war on the United States in 1970, and was responsible for a series of bombings of police departments, government buildings, and military installations...

scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton

Prosecution Decision

by dailyconservative.com: scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton still thinks she got off easy, but a bombshell just dropped that could finally end her career. There’s no way she can escape... Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, appeared on SuperTalk 99.7 out of Nashville with host Brian Wilson to reveal that hundreds of FBI documents point to a massive “cover-up” in the scumbag/liar-Clinton email scandal. Fitton pointed to the mislabeling of documents, such as those that were deceptively marked “unclassified” to protect her. His group also obtained an email with the subject “scumbag/liar-Hillary cover-up operation work ticket archive clean-up.” Additionally, Fitton did not hold back the reason why scumbag/liar-Hillary hasn’t been prosecuted yet — and it’s because of how deep the rabbit hole goes. “People should understand, one the reasons scumbag/liar-Hillary wasn’t prosecuted was because it wasn’t just a scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton scandal, it was a State Department scandal, it was an FBI scandal, it was a Justice Department scandal,” he said. He continued by saying “it was an scumbag/liar-nObama scandal” and “they were all in on it.” Fitton’s group said they’re working hard to get additional documents to continue blowing this case wide open.

Post-dirty cop-Mueller Developments

Tom McLaughlin

{ tommclaughlin.blogspot.com } ~ The dirty cop-Mueller investigation is over. His long-awaited report is out and everyone has had a chance to read it. Despite dirty cop-Mueller saying there was no evidence of collusion or cooperation between the Trump Campaign and Russia during the 2016 election, most on the left still insist there was. Still more insist that President Trump tried to cover up a “crime” that dirty cop-Mueller says never occurred. The only visible change is that fewer Democrats are calling for Trump’s impeachment. Among presidential candidates, only Senator Elizabeth dinky-Warren is.

There’s been a similar reaction in Mainstream Media which had pushed the Trump/Russia collusion narrative hard for more than two years. They seem genuinely disappointed that Mueller found nothing. MSNBC’s Chuck Todd, for example, said on Meet the Press last Sunday: “It the dirty co-Mueller Report described a campaign eager to accept the help of a hostile foreign power: Russia.” Really Chuck? The report itself stated, and I quote: “The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russia Government in its election interference activities.”

Ever since it was called the “Soviet Union,” Russia has tried to interfere with US elections going back nearly a hundred years. The United States interfered with internal politics in the Soviet Union for just as long. Both countries interfered with elections in southeast Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean throughout the Cold War, yet Democrats and media act as if recent Russian interference were something new. In 2016 the scumbag/liar-nObama State Department spent $350,000 in an unsuccessful attempt to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu but Mainstream Media ignored it.

Conservative media outlets claim dirty cop-Mueller should not have accepted appointment as special counsel because there was never evidence of a crime involving the Trump campaign. President Trump and Attorney General Barr now want to investigate how the dirty cop-Mueller investigation started, alleging nefarious activities by the scumbag/liar-Clinton Campaign, the scumbag/liar-Clinton Foundation, as well as the scumbag/liar-nObama FBI, CIA, NSA, and DOJ during and after the 2016 campaign. Evidence for this exists going back three years and includes lying under oath to Congress and FBI officials but got no mention in dirty cop-Mueller Report.

DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz has been investigating how scumbag-James Comey’s FBI conducted the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton email scandal, how it investigated the scumbag/liar-Clinton Foundation, how it filed the FBI/DOJ’s FISA application on Carter Page, and the possible interference by the scumbag/liar-nObama Administration in the 2016 election, as well as other subjects. US Attorney John Huber of Utah was appointed special prosecutor for the case and he met with Attorney General William Barr shortly after the latter was confirmed. Horowitz and Huber have played their cards very close to the vest and have been waiting for the dirty cop-Mueller Investigation to conclude before interviewing key witnesses who were also involved with dirty cop-Mueller’s probe.

Courtesy of Conservative Tree House

The Senate Intelligence Committee chaired by North Carolina Senator Richard Burr has also been investigating the 2016 election in a relatively quiet way compared to its House counterpart. So, right now there are two ongoing investigations — DOJ IG Horowitz with US Attorney Huber and US Senate — as well as a possible new one by Attorney General Barr as indicated by his recent congressional testimony. The relatively small conservative media has been reporting for two years on evidence of criminal behavior by former CIA Director scumbag/commie-James Brennan, former FBI Director scumbag-Comey, former Director of National Intelligence scumbag-James Clapper, Former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, and several other former scumbag/liar-nObama Administration officials. Mainstream Media has largely ignored it.

Possible crimes involve lying under oath, misusing the FISA Court, and leaking to the press — but also abuse of power that includes spying on Trump and his associates and unmasking subjects of surveillance during and after the 2016 campaign. Trump’s base is crying for more such investigations while Democrats are indignant. The whole Russia/Trump brouhaha cannot be understood strictly as a Democrat vs Republican issue, nor strictly a right vs left issue either. The divide is more Trump supporters vs Trump haters across the political spectrum and from both parties.

warning-trump-haters-are-in-a-panic-everywhere-stay-calm-14794241.png

The haters are blinded by emotion. I debate some of them regularly and see their counterparts in politics and media. They know journalistic standards have been dropped in pursuit of Trump but choose to overlook it believing ends — getting rid of him — justify means. Trump supporters recognize his faults but see opposition tactics as far more harmful for our democracy so they rally behind him.

We’ll get a feel over the next few months for how the body politic reacts to these post-dirty cop-Mueller developments. Are people sick of political investigations and just want them all to go away? How will primary voters react to ongoing impeachment preparations by Democrats? As the presidential campaign heats up, will candidates debate these issues?

The Terrorist Caucus in the House

by David Horowitz

{ frontpagemag.com } ~ Representative Ilhan Omar is a Minnesota Democrat who has been in Congress four months and, courtesy of House Speaker Nancy Pulosi, sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee... where she has privileged access to classified American secrets. Omar recently caused a stir – one of many that have made her a focus of national attention - by describing the attack on America on 9/11, as an attack on Muslims. The 9/11 attack - the worst by foreigners on American soil since the British burned the White House in 1814 - was in fact the work of Islamic supremacists engaged in a global jihad or “holy war.” This war had been unilaterally declared on America – “the land of Jews and Crusaders” - by Osama bin Laden and his terrorist army, al-Qaeda three years earlier. Omar’s reference to the tragedy that befell Americans in September 2001 was revealing in itself. She prefaced it by complaining that Muslims in America were “second class citizens” who were denied the civil liberties afforded to other ethnic and religious groups. This was one of many lies in her brief comments. Then she invoked the massacre of 50 Muslims at worship by a deranged individual in New Zealand, while failing to mention the recent Muslim massacre of Filipino Christians at worship or the hundreds of attacks by Muslims on other religions since the beginning of the year. Then she referred to the 9/11 atrocity not as an “attack” but as a non-descript event whose real significance was that it led to the creation of CAIR – the Council on American Islamic Relations - which presents itself as a Muslim civil liberties organization, and on whose platform she was speaking. “CAIR was founded after 9/11,” she said, “because they recognized that some people did something, and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.” The platform on which Omar made these repulsive claims – all of them false – was an organization created by the Muslim Brotherhood, the fountainhead of the Islamist jihad, and its terrorist offspring Hamas. As it happens the Brotherhood is the crucible doctrines that inspired Osama bin Laden and the terrorists responsible for 9/11. Omar has headlined multiple fund-raising events for CAIR, which is still headed by the same individuals who ran the Hamas entities, from which it was created. Even Omar’s statement that CAIR was created in response to alleged attacks on Muslims after 9/11 is false, since CAIR was created in 1994, seven years earlier. Her statement that all Muslims began losing their civil liberties because of 9/11 is also false – and insulting - since President Bush went out of his way to deny that 9/11 had any Islamic dimension, despite the overwhelming evidence that it did, and to protect the Muslim community from reprisals, which included shipping members of Osama bin Ladens’ family, who should have been interrogated, to the safety of Saudi Arabia for their protection. The number of incidents of Americans taking out their frustration and anger on Muslims at that time or since – if one considers the circumstances - is quite small. According to the FBI, American Jews are five times more likely than Muslims to be the victims of religious hate crimes – many of which have been incited by the poisonous anti-Israel propaganda spread by pro-Islamist groups like the Muslim Students Association and Students for Justice in Palestine, as well as by congresswoman Omar herself... https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/273538/terrorist-caucus-house-david-horowitz

scumbag liar-Nadler Lies Through

His Teeth on Trump Tower

by Chuck Ross

{dailycaller.com} ~ New York Rep. scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, falsely claimed in an interview on Sunday... that Donald Trump Jr. was offered stolen information in the infamous meeting at Trump Tower in June 2016. “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd failed to correct scumbag liar-Nadler when he made the inaccurate statement. “I do not understand why he didn’t charge Don Jr., and others in that famous meetings with criminal conspiracy,” scumbag liar-Nadler said of special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller in the interview. “They entered into a meeting of the minds to attend a meeting, to get stolen material on scumbag/liar-Hillary. They went to the meeting. That’s conspiracy, right there,” he added. Despite that claim, Trump Jr. was not offered stolen material before accepting the June 9, 2016 meeting.Trump Jr. accepted the meeting after a music publicist named Rob Goldstone emailed him on June 3, 2016 saying that a Russian attorney wanted to meet with the campaign to provide information about former Secretary of State scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s possible ties to Russia. Goldstone said that the lawyer “offered to provide the Trump Campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate scumbag/liar-Hillary and her dealings with Russia.” But nowhere did Goldstone claim that the information about scumbag/liar-Clinton was stolen...

Los Angeles Numbers Show 'Homelessness'

is Really a Substance Abuse and

Mental Illness Problem

by Daniel Greenfield

{ frontpagemag.com } ~ Los Angeles County is glibly decorated with billboards declaring, "Homes End Homelessness. You In?" Except LA's own numbers keep showing that not having a home is a symptom of the problem. Not the problem... The current headline for the story is, "L.A. County’s homeless population is growing — but not as fast as they’re dying". The URL suggests a more realistic and less outrage-driven title. "la-me-ln-homeless-people-death-unsheltered-substance-abuse". Substance abuse is a common theme. Last year alone, 918 people died. And in the last five years, deaths have jumped 76%, outpacing the growth of the homeless population, according to an analysis of county coroner data by Kaiser Health News. So far, health officials and experts have been unable to pinpoint a single cause for the increase, but say rising substance abuse may be a major reason. Substance abuse and mental illness are the causes of most homelessness. That's why trying to offer living space doesn't work. Drugs and alcohol played a direct role in at least a quarter of the deaths of homeless people over the past five years, according to the analysis from the county coroner’s office. The substances also likely contributed to many more deaths, including those whose deaths were related to liver and heart problems. Raymond Thill was just 46 when he died last year of what his wife, Sherry Thill, called complications related to alcoholism. The couple had been homeless for many years before moving into a small apartment in South Los Angeles shortly before his death. Thill said her husband often drank vodka throughout the day, and had been in and out of the hospital because of liver and other health problems. He tried rehab and she tried taking the alcohol away from him. Nothing worked. “His mind was set,” she said. “So I took care of him.” In the end, Thill said, cirrhosis left her husband jaundiced, swollen and unable to keep food down. These are tragic stories. And they have nothing to do with home availability...

commie-Bernie Sanders:

Israel’s Government is Racist

by Jennie Taer

{ saraacarter.com } ~ At a CNN town hall, Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders called Benjamin Netanyahu’s government in Israel “right wing, dare I say racist.”... “I am not anti-Israel but the fact of the matter is that Netanyahu is a right-wing politician who I think is treating the Palestinian people extremely unfairly,” commie-Sanders said.“The United States gives billions of dollars in military aid to Israel. What I believe is not radical. I just believe that the United States should deal with the Middle East on a level playing field basis.” “In other words, the goal must be to try to bring people together and not just support one country, which is now run by a right wing, dare I say, racist government,” commie-Sanders concluded. commie-Sander has no ideal what he talking about and he is Jewish by the way. https://saraacarter.com/bernie-sanders-israels-government-is-racist/?utm_source=Darkwire+Inc&utm_campaign=346096e4aa-April+23+-+Morning&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_5f3d745e4f-346096e4aa-283256057

US diplomat: 'Very, very possible' half

of Venezuela's population flees Maduro regime

by Joel Gehrke

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro’s attempt to stay in power could ultimately drive half the country’s population to seek refuge abroad, according to a key U.S. diplomat... “Very, very, possible 15 million people leave,” Carlos Trujillo, the U.S. ambassador to the Organization of American States, told the Washington Examiner. “Right now, only four million have left, and four million has overwhelmed Colombia, Brazil, Chile, and Peru ... Imagine what eight million does. Imagine what 10 million does. Imagine what 12 million does.” That dire portrait, Trujillo suggested, guarantees that Maduro will not be able to withstand regional pressure to relinquish power. The regime has retained control of the military in the three months since President Trump and other major Western democracies recognized top opposition lawmaker Juan Guaidó as the legitimate interim president. Trujillo dismissed the idea that the momentum to oust Maduro is slowing, even if U.S. officials don’t have a quick-fix plan in place.“Military action is not happening right now, so diplomatic pressure and sanctions take time,” Trujillo said. “It takes time. You don’t feel the economic pinch day one or day two or month one or month two, but month six and seven and eight, when you’ve had a lot of poor spending decisions, those start racking up.” Trump imposed sanctions on Venezuela’s state-run oil company, PdVSA, in January. The administration also blacklisted four companies with vessels that ferry oil from Venezuela to the island regime. The imposition of those sanctions, released last week, is designed to put a crimp in Maduro’s ability to barter oil in exchange for support from the Cuban security services... https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/us-diplomat-very-very-possible-half-of-venezuelas-population-flees-maduro-regime?utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_04/23/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News&rid=5261

Earth Day 2019

Publius: Today is Earth Day, the ecofascists’ favorite day of the year. Here are some excerpts from Mark Alexander’s 2010 essay on the real origin and use of this socialist celebration.

It’s that time of year again — that time when the northern hemisphere will be warming, as it has for millions of years, except during ice ages.

Since most of the world’s industrial capacity and economic wealth is located north of the equator, this means that the now-perennial onset of global warming hysteria is about to sprout into full bloom.

On 22 April 1970, Senator Gaylord Nelson (D-WI) founded “Earth Day” in order to launch an annual “teach in” about conservation and environmental concerns.

Of course, conservation is not a bad word — it even shares the same root word as “conservative.” Indeed, our family makes every effort to use energy and resources wisely. The “waste not, want not” principle is good economic practice.

However, the Left’s motives for “Earth Day” don’t stop at educating folks about conservation and environmental preservation. Those objectives provide cover for a much more sinister purpose — using ecological concern to justify all manner of government regulation and intervention.

It’s no small irony that Nelson founded “Earth Day” on the centenary of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin’s birthday, as it was the impetus for creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Nelson modeled his anti-capitalist protests after anti-Vietnam War demonstrations of that era, and the so-called “environmental movement” he helped spawn has devolved from a pack of unwashed adolescent peaceniks and malcontents into a slick, influential and well funded cadre of Lefty politicos. (This would be the same movement that protested against nuclear energy, which yields no carbon dioxide as a byproduct of energy production.)

Nelson’s cadre has managed, by way of the EPA, to implement an enormous hidden tax burden on the American people — more than a trillion dollars last year — in the form of runaway environmental regulations, which surreptitiously increase the prices of products and services.

And as far as climate change?

Bottom line: Human activity does affect the climate. Every time you exhale CO2, you increase the concentration of that minuscule greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, but if you want to make a positive impact upon the environment, don’t hold your breath. Roll up your sleeves and promote liberty and free enterprise, because, per capita, it is the free nations of the world that have the cleanest environments, and those with Socialist governments that have the worst. ~The Patriot Post

Medicare Trustees Report Reality-Checks

commie-Bernie Sanders’ Socialist Delusions

by Christopher Jacobs

{ thefederalist.com } ~ Many of the left’s policy proposals come with the same design flaw: While sounding great on paper, they have little chance of working in practice... Monday brought one such type of reality check to Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and supporters of single-payer health care, in the form of the annual Medicare trustees report. The report once again demonstrates Medicare’s shaky financial standing, as the retirement of 10,000 Baby Boomers every day continues to tax the program’s limited resources. So why would commie-Sanders and Democrats raid this precariously funded program to finance their government takeover of health care? Before even dissecting the report itself, one major caveat worth noting: The trustees report assumes that many of the Medicare payment reductions, and tax increases, included in scumbag/liar-nObamacare can be used “both” to “save Medicare” and fund scumbag/liar-nObamacare. In practice, however, sheer common sense suggests the impossibility of this scenario—as not even the federal government can spend the same dollars twice. The last trustees report prior to these scumbag/liar-nObamacare gimmicks, in 2009, predicted that the Medicare Part A Hospital Insurance Trust Fund would become insolvent in 2017—two years ago. To put it another way, under a more accurate accounting mechanism, Medicare has already become functionally insolvent. scumbag/liar-nObamacare’s accounting gimmicks just allowed politicians including President Trump to continue to ignore Medicare’s funding shortfalls, thus making them worse by failing to act. Even despite the double-counting created by scumbag/liar-nObamacare, the Part A Trust Fund faces significant obstacles. Monday’s report reveals that the trust fund suffered a $1.6 billion loss in 2018. This loss comes on the heels of a total of $132.2 billion in trust fund deficits from 2008 through 2015, as payroll tax revenues dropped dramatically during the Great Recession... https://thefederalist.com/2019/04/23/medicare-trustees-report-reality-checks-bernie-sanders-socialist-delusions/?utm_source=The+Federalist+List&utm_campaign=d404b7d3fd-RSS_The_Federalist_Daily_Updates_w_Transom&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_cfcb868ceb-d404b7d3fd-83771801

commie-Bernie Comes Out For

The Right To Vote For Terrorists And Rapists

by Molly Prince

{ dailycaller.com } ~ Presidential hopeful commie-Bernie Sanders revealed on Monday that he believes all Americans over the age of 18 should be given the right to vote... which includes violent felons such as terrorists and rapists on death row. “What our campaign is about, and what I believe, is creating a vibrant democracy,” commie-Sanders said during a CNN town hall. “Today, as you may know, we have one of the lowest voter turnouts of any major country on Earth. I want to see us have one of the highest voter turnouts.” “What we’re seeing is more young people getting involved in the political process, but not enough,” he continued. “In my view, if young people voted at the same percentage that older people voted in this country, we would transform this nation.” commie-Sanders was pressed by Anna Carlstein, a Harvard University student, who questioned comments he previously made urging imprisoned felons to have their voting rights reinstated. She asked if he supports “enfranchising people like the Boston Marathon bomber, a convicted terrorist and murderer” as well as individuals convicted of sexual assault. “As it happens in my own state of Vermont, from the very first days of our state’s history, what our constitution says is that everybody can vote. That is true. So people in jail can vote,” commie-Sanders said. “Now here’s my view: If somebody commits a serious crime — sexual assault, murder — they’re going to be punished... But lose the right to vote and why would they vote anyway.

Spending caps fight exposes

both parties’ weaknesses

by James C. Capretta

{ realclearpolicy.com } ~ The Democratic party spent the past eight years blasting Republicans in Congress for their fiscal hypocrisy, and their attacks resonated because they were true... Republicans had criticized President scumbag/liar -nObama in 2009 and 2010 for his profligacy, and then, after taking control of the House, Senate, and White House in successive elections, not only offered no viable path forward, but made the problem worse. Now it’s the Democrats’ turn to show they have no plan matching their rhetoric. They took control of the House in the 2018 mid-term election, but earlier this month party leaders announced they would not write a full-fledged budget because they can’t pass one, no matter its formulation. Republicans would oppose whatever the Democrats would come up with just as the Democrats voted in unison against GOP-crafted budgets, and the Democratic caucus is too divided to get anything through the House on its own. The progressive wing, energized by several new members elected last November, is itching to push for higher spending on scores of initiatives, while moderates in the party are wary of supporting higher spending without offsets. Many Democrats believe tax hikes are necessary but few want to propose them because of their fear of political attacks by Republicans. After dropping plans to write a fiscal blueprint, House Democratic leaders tried to shift toward a more practical, short-term objective, which is to raise the caps on appropriated spending for fiscal years 2020 and 2021. In early 2018, President Trump struck a deal with Congress to raise the caps in 2018 and 2019 by nearly $300 billion, but the caps in place for 2020 and 2021 remain at the levels enacted in the Budget Control Act of 2011, and are far below the funding that was provided over the past two years. The defense and nondefense caps for 2020 are a combined $126 billion below the spending levels allowed for 2019. If the caps are not raised, and the government is funded at current levels, automatic cuts would eliminate the $126 billion breach. But even this less ambitious approach to budget policy is proving to be problematic. The cap proposal drafted by Reps. John Yarmuth and Nita Lowey, chairs of the Budget and Appropriations Committees, respectively, lacks the votes to pass... https://www.realclearpolicy.com/articles/2019/04/22/spending_caps_fight_exposes_both_parties_weaknesses_111171.html?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTlRnd1lqWTRZemd3WTJWbCIsInQiOiJYZnIzYUYyY29tMUFRUEIxWVZSaEt3SGpUSkFrTjN5OGVVT2ZZUCtVUTlvMGhCYnVzYlwvUHBmUXpLSlpQU244ZGtcLzBPK2Izb0VjMTVKMXE5S2prb0ZXakZrdlhJc2NDVXJUVzBSTkI4cjNPbGxHWDM3TU1GeGFsQmw2THZCeEZtIn0%3D

The scumbag/liar-nObama Use of FISA-702 as

a Domestic Political Surveillance Program

by sundance

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Now that we have significant research files on the 2015 and 2016 political surveillance program; which includes the trail evident within the Weissmann/dirty cop-Mueller report... in combination with the scumbag/liar-nObama-era DOJ “secret research project” their words, not mine; we are able to overlay the entire objective and gain a full understanding of how political surveillance was conducted over a period of approximately four to six years. Working with a timeline, but also referencing origination material in 2015/2016 – CTH hopes to show how the program operated. This explains an evolution from The IRS Files in 2010 to the FISA Files in 2016. The FISA-702 database extraction process, and utilization of the protections within the smaller intelligence community, was the primary process. We start by reviewing the established record from the 99-page FISC opinion rendered by Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer on April 26th, 2017; and explain the details within the FISC opinion. I would strongly urge everyone to read the FISC report because Judge Collyer outlines how the DOJ, which includes the FBI, had an “institutional lack of candor” in responses to the FISA court. In essence, they were continually lying to the court about their activity, and the rate of fourth amendment violations for illegal searches and seizures of U.S. persons’ private information for multiple years. Unfortunately, due to intelligence terminology Judge Collyer’s brief and ruling is not an easy read for anyone unfamiliar with the FISA processes outlined. The complexity also helps the media avoid discussing, and as a result most Americans have no idea the scale and scope of the issues. So we’ll try to break down the language... https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/04/23/the-obama-use-of-fisa-702-as-a-domestic-political-surveillance-program/

commie-Sanders Team Promotes

scumbag-Hoyer Primary Challenger

by Nic Rowan

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders's (I., Vt.) foreign policy adviser Matt Duss retweeted an article profiling Mckayla Wilkes, the 28-year-old primary challenge to House Majority Leader scumbag-Steny Hoyer (D., Md.) on Monday morning... Wilkes told The Intercept she is challenging scumbag-Hoyer because she believes that his tenure in the House of Representatives since 1981 has put him at too far a remove from the American people, and she would like to see more "relatable people" in Congress. "We need someone who will be a voice for us, who knows what we go through as daily constituents, and scumbag-Steny Hoyer has been in office so long he's never really had to be a regular constituent," she said. Wilkes's challenge comes in the wake of a number of Democratic primary upsets, most notably freshman commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D., N.Y.) primary victory over former Chair of the House Democratic Caucus Rep.

Upsets like commie-Ocasio-Cortez and fellow freshman Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.) have made some members of the Democratic establishment more cautious about primary challenges: After the 2018 midterms, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced it would cut off any firm that supported primary challengers... https://freebeacon.com/politics/sanderss-foreign-policy-adviser-retweets-story-about-hoyer-primary-challenger/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=bb7f875fe7-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_03_19_COPY_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-bb7f875fe7-45611665

Dallas DA Elevates Social Justice Over

the Rule of Law

Arnold Ahlert: In Dallas County, District Attorney John Creuzot has decided Social Justice™ should supersede the Rule of Law. “Criminalizing poverty is counter-productive for our community’s health and safety,” states a letter released by Creuzot. “For that reason, this office will not prosecute theft of personal items less than $750 unless the evidence shows that the alleged theft was for economic gain.”

It gets worse. Criminal Trespass also gets a pass because “jail is not a suitable place for the mentally ill and homeless — those most often charged with misdemeanor criminal trespass — whose only crime is not having a place to go.” Driving with a suspended license gets a pass because it’s often about “prosecuting a person for being too poor to pay off their fines and fees.”

Several drug-related charges will be similarly ignored, probation periods will be reduced with no jail time for “technical” violations, and bail will be replaced by “presumption of release” in most cases. Where bail becomes necessary, it “should never be requested by a prosecutor unless there has first been an ability-to-pay determination, and then the amount requested should be based on what a person can afford.”

Creuzot’s rationale for trampling equal protection under the law with class-based exemptions? “The question is, if we put them in jail, are they going to pay restitution? You know what the answer is: No,” Creuzot insists. “So we’ve burned up taxpayer money for a hungry person or a needy person under this fake premise that we’re going to get the money back. And it doesn’t happen.”

How about the real premise that crime requires punishment, not only for justice to be done but to deter more crime?

Dallas Police Association President Mike Mata illuminates the utter nonsense in play here. “I take great offense to saying that poor people just go out and steal,” Mata stated. “The people that will take advantage of this are the criminal element who will steal, steal, steal from every business until somebody tells them it’s not OK to do it.”

Sheldon Smith, a Dallas Police Department sergeant and president of the National Black Police Association Dallas chapter believes the transparently obvious reality that mom-and-pop stores will become targets for those who know they can game the system with impunity. “And so the little store owner, he has no chance of staying in business,” he asserts. And why would they? And who’s hurt in the end? The community’s hurt.“

Business owner Cody Ellison, who has three shops in Dallas’s Bishop Arts District, is potentially on the receiving end of this agenda. "To have the thought of someone being able to come in and steal $750 from us and there be no consequence is unfathomable to me,” Ellison stated. “They say essentials. For us, essentials are clothing. People have to have clothing.”

April Gonzales, who owns a medical-clothing store was equally blunt. “The first thing that came to mind is like, great, now Dallas County is going to be a free-for-all.”

Gonzales knows what she’s talking about. Her business has been hit by both shoplifters and armed robbers so many times that she has multiple security cameras in her shop and a handgun for personal protection.

Apparently some of the blowback led Creuzot to “clarify” his policy. “Maybe I should say consumption items,” he said. “Maybe we should have put that word in there. We’re talking about food and formula that people need to live. Maybe I didn’t put enough words in when I said personal items. Maybe I should have said personal consumption items.”

Maybe Creuzot should make an official list of which “personal consumption items” are permissible to steal. Or publish an income threshold below which the presumption of need — and the right to steal — becomes automatic.

Maybe Creuzot should also explain why the state’s welfare programs are an insufficient deterrent to lawlessness, or how repeat offenders can be determined by a policy that will undoubtedly engender non-arrests by cops knowing such efforts will be in vain, allowing those repeat offenders to avoid building a criminal record.

Yet cluelessness persists. Jason Roberts, owner of AJ Vagabonds in the same Bishop Arts district, support the DA’s policy. “I would hate to have the worst thing you’ve done be the flag for who you are as a human being for the rest of your life,” he declared.

How Roberts knows what the “worst thing” a particular individual has done is anyone’s guess. Perhaps he and other supporters of this policy could reveal how many thefts they’re willing to tolerate for the “greater good” of preserving the “dignity” of a thief.

Ellison sees the writing on the lawless wall. “People are going to become more and more confident with stealing, opening a floodgate for more and more theft in the future,” he said. “If it grows, there will be no more small business owners.”

Mata also sees the downside with regard to shop owners who refuse to abide such insanity. “Either that shop owner is going to have to take matters in his own hands, or he’s going to have to let $600 worth of merchandise walk out of his store,” Mata said. “And so that might force him to get engaged into an altercation that he shouldn’t.”

Would Creuzot prosecute the shop owner to the fullest extent of the law?

Not every law-enforcement official is on board. DeSoto Police Chief Joseph Costa stated his office would not comply with policies that don’t accord with state law. He further warned the DeSoto Municipal Court would take cases Creuzot rejects to “keep the city of DeSoto safe and secure.”

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott also hammered Creuzot’s policy, stating the Attorney General was embracing “wealth redistribution by theft.” When a tweet countered Abbott’s assertion, he doubled-down. “You and others reveal that STEALING is ok when people want things. … That’s socialism,” Abbott stated, adding that Texas offers government programs to help the poor.

Socialism? Anarchy is more like it, and if Abbott is truly concerned, he should make every legal effort possible to remove Creuzot.

In the meantime, the DA remains unbowed. “It doesn’t make sense to clog up our jails with people who are not a danger to society,” Creuzot said in a written statement. “We need to focus on criminals who are a threat to our communities and individuals who commit thefts for economic gain.”

No, what doesn’t make sense is deliberately and very publicly turning a blind eye to law-breaking because it doesn’t align with a bankrupt “progressive” worldview. One in which the words “victim” and “perpetrator” are interchangeable, as long as “need” is part of the equation.

If Creuzot wants to change Texas state law, “then he can run for a legislative office and change it in Austin for the whole greater good of the state of Texas,” Mata explains. “I think you get on a very, very slippery slope when you start to legislate from the bench.”

Slippery Slope? A Marxist-inspired cliff is more like it. One where each business owner “gives” according to his ability, to each perpetrator, according to his “needs.” ~The Patriot Post

Thomas Gallatin

Tuesday Top News Executive Summary

Media Editors: VISA-ABUSE CLAMPDOWN: “The Trump administration is considering suspending or limiting entry of nationals from countries with high rates of visa overstays as it seeks to clamp down on illegal immigration. President Trump signed a memo on Monday giving the State and Homeland Security departments 120 days to come up with measures to tackle the problem. ‘We have laws that need to be followed to keep Americans safe and to protect the integrity of a system where, right now, there are millions of people who are waiting in line to come to America to seek the American Dream,’ Trump said.” (Washington Examiner)

IMPEACHMENT EXPECTATIONS: According to The Hill, “Sen. lowlife-Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) said Monday that the House should take steps toward impeaching President Trump,” which follows an identical recommendation from Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren. But the Associated Press adds, “House Speaker Nancy Pulosi urged divided Democrats to focus on fact-finding rather than the prospect of any impeachment proceedings.”

ENTITLEMENT TROUBLES: “Trustees for the Social Security and Medicare programs on Monday announced that the long-term deficit facing the programs was a staggering $59 trillion. As the retirement age population expands relative to the working-age population in the coming decades and the cost of healthcare explodes, the two programs will eat up a growing amount of government resources unless there are significant changes. … [The estimates] could be optimistic, because, according to the trustees, ‘the Medicare projections shown here could be substantially understated as a result of other potentially unsustainable elements of current law.’” (Washington Examiner)

NEW YORK’S GREEN NEW STEAL: “Mayor jerk-Bill de Blasio marked Earth Day by outlining measures to make New York greener Monday, including dramatically cutting the carbon footprint of the city’s signature building, the skyscraper. ‘We’re going to ban the classic glass and steel skyscrapers, which are incredibly inefficient,’ he told MSNBC television. The New York version of the ‘Green New Deal’ currently being pushed by freshmen Democratic members of Congress would make buildings of more than 25,000 square feet (2,300 square meters) cut their emissions by 40 percent by 2030, compared with 2005 levels. The Democratic mayor said that those who fail to meet the new environmental standards could face fines of more than a million dollars, in the case of larger buildings.” (Agence France-Presse)

VACCINE FIGHT: “A New York City judge has dismissed a complaint from parents who objected to the city’s emergency vaccine order meant to immediately curb a dangerous measles epidemic threatening the city’s vulnerable. … NBC News reports that, as of Sunday, Brooklyn doctors have counted an astounding 626 cases of measles, more than the number of cases reported in the entire year 2014, when the city suffered a measles outbreak.” (The Daily Wire)

FUND THE DEBT! “Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren wants to use taxpayer money to ‘cancel’ hundreds of billions of dollars in student-loan debt and offer debt-free college for millions more, which would cost $1.25 trillion over the next decade. … The senator … also proposes using $50 billion in taxpayer funds for historically black colleges and universities, known as HBCUs. And she wants to ‘prohibit public colleges from considering citizenship status’ when making admissions decisions. In addition, dinky-Warren wants to phase out federal money that now goes to for-profit schools.” (The Daily Wire)

LANDMARK DISCRIMINATION CASE: “In a watershed moment for LGBT-rights advocates, the Supreme Court has agreed to take up three cases involving LGBT individuals who claim they were fired from their jobs because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The court will decide whether Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which bans discrimination by employers based on ‘sex,’ also prohibits discrimination based on the sexual orientation and gender identity of workers. The cases are the first to test the bent of the new, conservative-leaning Court on LGBT issues.” (National Review)

ENABLING BAD BEHAVIOR: “Starbucks’ efforts to address opioid use and improperly disposed needles in its bathrooms are expanding. Starbucks stores in at least 25 US markets have installed needle-disposal boxes in bathrooms in recent months. By this summer, the chain aims to have installed sharps boxes in bathrooms in all regions where such action has been deemed necessary. … The company … faced at least one government investigation related to the issue in 2018 after two employees in a Eugene, Oregon, location were stuck with hypodermic needles within a month of each other.” (Business Insider)

House Judiciary Committee Chairman scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., seeks testimony on documents from McGahn, who in special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's report is shown to have resisted Trump's order to fire the special counsel. "The Special Counsel's report, even in redacted form, outlines substantial evidence that President Trump engaged in obstruction and other abuses,” scumbag liar-Nadler said in a statement. “It now falls to Congress to determine for itself the full scope of the misconduct and to decide what steps to take in the exercise of our duties of oversight, legislation and constitutional accountability.”A redacted version of dirty cop-Mueller’s report was released Thursday and determined that neither the Trump campaign nor other Americans colluded with the Kremlin during the 2016 election. However, it did not clear Trump of obstruction of justice and detailed 10 instances of possible obstruction. “Mr. McGahn is a critical witness to many of the alleged instances of obstruction of justice and other misconduct described in the dirty cop-Mueller report,” scumbag liar-Nadler said. “His testimony will help shed further light on the President's attacks on the rule of law, and his attempts to cover up those actions by lying to the American people and requesting others do the same.” In an interview Sunday, scumbag liar-Nadler said McGahn’s testimony was essential to help Congress determine whether Trump attempted to obstruct justice when he requested McGahn fire dity cop-Mueller. scumjbag liar-Nadler demanded McGahn provide the documents to the panel by May 7 and appear before the committee to provide testimony on May 21. They will lie and cheat to get what they want. The President has the authority to fire anyone.

"This mandate is going to guarantee that we reduce emissions. We're going to ban the classic glass and steel skyscrapers, which are incredibly inefficient. If someone wants to build one of those things, they can take a whole lot of steps to make it energy efficient, but we're not going to allow what we used to see in the past." jerk-De Blasio said he would decide "soon" whether to join the 2020 Democratic presidential field, which already has 19 candidates and could soon grow to 20; The Atlantic reported former Vice President loose lips-Joe Biden will officially announce his candidacy this going to week...

Spygate and The Steele Dossier Were The Cover Story – The Real Issue is Years of Obama-era Surveillance and Political Spy Operationsby sundance

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ If you read the Weissmann/dirty cop-Mueller report carefully one aspect stands out strongly; the dirty cop-Mueller investigation was fully committed to The Steele Dossier... An inordinate amount of the report is focused on justifying their investigative validity and purpose in looking at the claims within the Steele Dossier.

Federal Court Rules Against Catholic

Foster Care Agency

by Jeffrey Cimmino

{ freebeacon.com } ~ A federal appeals court sided with the city of Philadelphia against a foster parent and the Catholic foster care agency with which she works in a Monday ruling... In Sharonell Fulton, et al. v. City of Philadelphia, the court upheld a city policy that prevents Catholic Social Services from finding families for foster children, according to a press release from Becket Law. In 2018, the city of Philadelphia made an urgent call for more foster parents to help the "nearly 6,000 children and youth" in foster care in the city. Despite being a top-ranked foster agency, Catholic Social Services was not allowed to place more children with families. A week after making the call for more foster parents, Philadelphia stopped referring children to Catholic Social Services and then threatened to terminate its contract with the organization if it did not give up its religious beliefs about marriage. Becket notes that no family had ever filed a complaint with Catholic Social Services on account of its Catholic mission, and no child had ever been unable to find a home because of the organization's beliefs...

PA President Mahmoud Abbas is scheduled to visit several European Union, Arab and Islamic countries before the meeting to brief leaders on the decisions the Palestinians are planning to take ahead of the announcement of US President Donald Trump’s plan for peace in the Middle East, also known as the “deal of the century.” Abbas will also seek worldwide support for Palestinian opposition to Trump’s upcoming plan, a senior PA official told The Jerusalem Post. On the eve of the PCC meeting, Abbas will also hold meetings with several Palestinian officials to discuss future steps by the Palestinian leadership, the official added. In a speech before Arab League foreign ministers in Cairo on Sunday, Abbas hinted that the PA was considering rescinding all signed agreements with Israel. Abbas accused Israel of failing to implement the agreements, including the Oslo Accords, and said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “does not believe in peace between us.” The upcoming meeting will focus on Trump’s plan and Israeli measures against the Palestinians, especially the decision to deduct from tax and tariff revenues Israel collects on behalf of the Palestinians, those payments made by the PA to families of prisoners and “martyrs,” the official said.

Dems & Leftmedia Desperate to Save

Anti-Trump Narrative

Thomas Gallatin: One of the biggest problems with a lie is its nature to breed more lies. This reality has been on full display following the release of dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report. With Attorney General William Barr’s original four-page executive summary of the report, which accurately summarized dirty cop-Mueller’s conclusion that there was no evidence of any Trump/Russia collusion while leaving undecided the question of whether Trump obstructed the investigation, Democrats quickly cried foul and demanded to see the full report, claiming that Barr was hiding something.

The first big lie, propagated by the fallacious and salacious Christopher Steele anti-Trump dossier (paid for by scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s campaign), was that President Donald Trump colluded with the Russian to win the election. Remember it was the Leftmedia that first published the Steele dossier without ever verifying its credibility, helping to foment the collusion narrative. Conveniently, only now is The New York Times willing to throw out the dossier as complete junk. It served its purpose, effectively allowing the Leftmedia and Democrats to throw enough shade on Trump to justify the demands for a special investigation.

Then for two years, Democrats and their Leftmedia cohorts preached incessantly that dirty cop-Mueller was about to unearth evidence of Trump’s nefarious Russian connections. However, as it became increasingly apparent that there was no evidence to support the collusion narrative, Democrats pivoted and moved the goalposts, claiming that Trump was guilty of obstruction of justice due to his loud and repeated objections to dirty cop-Mueller’s “witch hunt.” Big lie number two.

Last Thursday, as he promised, Barr released dirty cop-Mueller’s full report, with the appropriate redactions. And it quickly became apparent that Democrat claims that Barr was hiding damning information were completely unfounded and untrue. Barr’s executive summary was entirely accurate, and yet, due to the redactions, the Democrats continued to lob their vacuous assertions of Barr stumping for Trump. Furthermore, the fact that dirty cop-Mueller was inconclusive on the question of whether Trump engaged in any obstruction of justice was “evidence” enough for Democrats to double down on their “obstruction” narrative. House Democrats are calling for more investigations into the “damning evidence.” Big lie number three.

Once again, the Democrat and Leftmedia aim could not be more clear: Do everything possible to paint a false narrative as credible in their effort to convince the American people that Trump should not be in office. This is a classic demonstration in dirty politics. By begging the question of Trump’s guilt, Democrats and the Leftmedia feel free to foment any false and misleading narrative against him. The reality is Democrats are only serving to expose the depth of their desperation to discredit a duly elected president. ~The Patriot Post

with dossier is hard to doby Byron York

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ The Steele dossier, that collection of incendiary allegations against Donald Trump compiled for the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign by the former British spy Christopher Steele... was already widely discredited before the release of the dirty cop-Mueller report. Now, the report has hammered a few additional nails in the dossier's coffin. dirty cop-Mueller's work "underscored what had grown clearer for months," the New York Times reported recently, "that while many Trump aides had welcomed contacts with the Russians, some of the most sensational claims in the dossier appeared to be false, and others were impossible to prove." dirty cop-Mueller, the Times noted, included a number of references to the dossier's allegations, "but no overall assessment of why so much did not check out." The dossier alleged a massive, long-running conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, complete with money, politics, and sex. Among its most sensational charges: The allegation that in 2013, in a Moscow hotel room, Trump watched as prostitutes performed a "golden showers" show on a bed in which former President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama had once slept, while Russian spy cameras recorded the whole thing. The allegation that the head of Rosneft, the giant Russian state-owned oil and gas company, offered low-level Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page billions of dollars in return for ending U.S. sanctions against Russia. The allegation that in August 2016 Trump fixer Michael Cohen met Russian officials in Prague to arrange secret payments to Russian hackers who attacked the scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign. The allegation that short-term Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort managed a "well-developed conspiracy of co-operation between the campaign and the Russian leadership," including "an intelligence exchange that had been running between them for at least eight years," and that Manafort was succeeded in that job by Cohen after Manafort left the campaign. None of Steele's charges were confirmed in the dirty cop-Mueller report. Some were specifically debunked. Others were ignored.

Trump HUGGED Mike Flynn after forcing him to resign for lying about his Russia contacts –

then promised to 'take care of you'

by Geoff Earle

{ dailymail.co.uk } ~ When President Donald Trump forced out National Security Advisor Michael Flynn for lying about his Russia contacts, he sent him off with a promise of a positive recommendation – and a hug... The physical embrace from a president known to be a bit of a germaphobe is one of many details about the eventful first month of Trump's term in office and reverberations that drew detailed scrutiny of the dirty cop-Mueller probe. Prosecutors dropped the detail into the 448-page dirty cop-Mueller report, and cited interviews with Flynn and Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. Priebus delivered the bad news to Flynn on February 13, 2017, less than a month into Trump's presidency, after it was revealed that he met with Russia's then-ambassador to the U.S. Sergei Kislyak during the transition, discussed sanctions, and lied about it to Vice President Mike Pence and the FBI. After being told he had to go, Flynn told Priebus he wanted to say goodbye to the president. 'Priebus recalled that the President hugged Flynn, shook his hand, and said, "We'll give you a good recommendation. You're a good guy. We'll take care of you,' according to the report.

Drug Cartel Violence Escalates

at U.S.-Mexico Border

by patrioticfreedomfighter.com: Drug cartel violence flared up again in April as the death toll in Ciudad Juárez recently struck 79 across the border from El Paso, Texas... Execution-style murders are again rampant in the area once dubbed the most violent city in the world. Multiple cartel victims were discovered with their hands and feet bound, with 9mm bullet casings littering the ground. In October 2018, Mexico deployed military patrols to the area after local police were reportedly the subject of 10 drug cartel attack squads. The violence left two officers dead and numerous others severely wounded. The escalation of cartel violence has continued to rise, and in July 2018, Americans were advised not to travel the short distance across the border. Companies employing U.S. personnel were forced to tell employees not to come to work as cartels terrorized the region. Juárez is again embroiled in a bloody drug cartel turf war for control of the border town that offers direct access into the U.S. through El Paso. Despite ridiculous cries from Democrats to tear down the wall impeding drug cartels from free mobility into El Paso, the homicide rate on the American side of the U.S.-Mexico border has also risen. El Paso had a long history as one of the most murder-prone cities per capita. In 1980, El Paso reportedly suffered 54 homicides and 56 at its 1993 peak. That prompted Border Patrol agents to literally form a line by placing vehicles 50 yards off the U.S.-Mexico border to monitor the trafficking and illegal immigration. Although these efforts and an 18-foot fence built in 2008 helped to curb the murder rate in El Paso, the numbers began to spike again in 2017 and 2018 as another gruesome cartel war escalated. President Donald Trump has already diverted billions to construct a superior border wall to reduce illegal activity and keep violent cartel and gang members at bay. All across the Mexico side of the border, cartels are ferociously engaging police in shootouts. It appears to be a deadly fight for supremacy between the legitimate government and wealthy drug lords who possess boots-on-the-ground power. Approximately 40 miles south of Laredo, Texas, Mexican authorities recently set up a roadblock along a well-known drug route. Members of Cartel Del Noreste, a faction of the powerful Los Zetas, ignored civil police and blew through the barricade. After authorities gave chase, the criminals stopped 20 miles later in the town of Lampazos... https://www.patrioticfreedomfighter.com/2019/04/18/drug-cartel-violence-escalates-at-u-s-mexico-border/

Scuttlebutt that Megyn Kelly wants a

comeback leads to question, could

Fox News take her back?

by Victor Rantala

{ bizpacreview.com } ~ Cable news personality Megyn Kelly is not ready for retirement apparently. Eddie Scarry of the Washington Examiner reports... “Megyn Kelly and people close to her are putting out word that she’s ready to get back into the news business, six months after she was fired from NBC for low ratings and a really stupid controversy.” In January of this year, NBC and Kelly reached a separation agreement that essentially deposited a tidy $69-million severance into her bank account. Clearly, the news anchor does not need to find a position to pay her bills. Kelly had been a shining star for Fox News for many years up until 2017. At that time, her Fox contract was expiring so she shopped around and was able to leverage a huge new deal with NBC. Although she is a declared political independent, progressives clearly associated Kelly with Fox News and tagged her with a conservative perspective that she was not able to shake. Not a positive development when the paychecks come from a network firmly committed to leftist propaganda. Criticism of her NBC work quickly grew and her viewership deflated. The opportunity presented itself for the network to part ways with Kelly when she naively commented that children should be allowed to wear “blackface” or “whiteface” costumes for Halloween. She was immediately removed from the air. It’s uncertain where the best fit on TV would be for Kelly today. Before leaving Fox, she found herself the object of scorn by supporters of Donald Trump for some comments she made about their candidate, and that Trump himself took issue with, firing back at her as he is known to do. If there was actually such a thing as a middle-of-the-road, politically neutral news outlet, she might potentially draw more viewers there than critics. But no such network exists today... Would Fox News do that?

Christians Persecuted by Islamists Worldwide

Nate Jackson: As worshippers gathered at three churches in separate cities in Sri Lanka to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the most holy day of the Christian calendar, several radical Islamist suicide bombers sent many Christians to meet their risen Savior. In a very profound sense, we take comfort in knowing those souls received a beautiful and eternal reward after they suffered for their faithfulness — just as Christ warned his followers would happen. Another three attacks were perpetrated at Sri Lankan hotels, along with another at a banquet hall, and still another at a home raided by police. A van detonated Monday outside one of the churches, as police attempted to defuse several bombs. All told, at least 290 people were murdered in these coordinated attacks, including several Americans, and more than 500 were wounded and now must deal with their injuries and grief.

As for the Islamofascist bombers who thought they’d receive their reward and 72 virgins … well, let’s just say they’re experiencing something else this morning.

Compounding the tragedy, the Associated Press reports, “Sri Lankan officials failed to heed warnings from intelligence agencies about the threat of an attack by a domestic radical Muslim group that officials blame for Easter Sunday bombings which killed more than 200 people, the country’s health minister said Monday. The coordinated bombings that ripped through churches and luxury hotels were carried out by seven suicide bombers from a militant group named National Thowfeek Jamaath, Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne said.”

It shouldn’t be surprising that so many in the West are refusing to focus on what this is — a radical Islamist attack primarily on Christians. Instead we get bromides about “Easter worshippers” from the likes of Barack scumbag/liar-nObama and scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton. When attacks are perpetrated by other ideologues (white supremacists) or target other particular victims (homosexuals), these same folks play up the identity elements. Not so with Christian victims, despite the fact that Christians are far more persecuted around the world than virtually any other group.

In fact, hundreds upon hundreds of Christians have been murdered for their faith already this year in attacks around the world. But with the Leftmedia avoiding reporting most of these deaths, and with prominent leftists avoiding even the word “Christian” — especially when the perpetrators are adherents to the Religion of Peace™ — one could be forgiven for getting the sense that Christians just aren’t a favored victim group. Jesus did say, “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.”

We in our humble shop offer our prayers for the loved ones of the victims, many of whom are our brothers and sisters in the faith.

What if we behaved as leftists behave?

Steele dossier appeared in draft of US intel assessment on Russian meddling

by Daniel Chaitin

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Veteran journalist Bob Woodward said Sunday he recently learned the unverified Trump dossier appeared in an early draft of a U.S. intelligence community assessment on Russian election interference... During a discussion on "Fox News Sunday," Woodward suggested its inclusion was at the behest of the Central Intelligence Agency, but it was ultimately taken out after being reviewed by intelligence experts. "What I found out recently, which was really quite surprising, the dossier, which really is got a lot of garbage in it and dirty cop-Mueller found that to be the case, early in building the intelligence community assessment on Russian interference in an early draft, they actually put the dossier on page two in kind of a breakout box," Woodward said in a panel moderated by host Chris Wallace. "I think it was the CIA pushing this," he added. "Real intelligence experts looked at this and said no, this is not intelligence, this is garbage and they took it out. But in this process the idea that they would include something like that in one of the great stellar intelligence assessments as dirty cop-Mueller also found out is highly questionable. Needs to be investigated." Woodward's suggestion that the CIA was pushing for the inclusion of the dossier in the intelligence assessment comes nearly a month after Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said he was told former CIA Director scumbag/commie-John Brennan "insisted" the dossier be included in the report. "BREAKING: A high-level source tells me it was scumbag/commie-Brennan who insisted that the unverified and fake Steele dossier be included in the Intelligence Report ... scumbag/commie-Brennan should be asked to testify under oath in Congress ASAP," Paul tweeted...

The Democrats’ Fanaticism

by Jed Babbin

{spectator.org} ~ The Democrats, the media, and their sympathizers around the world were so sure that Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report would quickly end Donald Trump’s presidency that they are still in denial that it won’t... scumbag/liar-nObama’s director of national intelligence, scumbag-James Clapper, coined a new oxymoron by insisting there was “passive collusion” between Trump and the Russians. House Intelligence Committee Chairman scumbag-Adam Schiff still insists that evidence of collusion is still in plain sight and Rachel Maddow is still in tears. None of the facts will deter the Democrats from investigating and trying to impeach Trump because their Trump hatred is so deep and so emotional that it has become a fanaticism that wipes everything else off the political slate. Winston Churchill once said that a fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject. The Democrats and the media if you’ll pardon the redundancy meet that definition perfectly. They are so swept up in their hatred of Donald Trump that, even after the dirty cop-Mueller report gave no grounds for it, more and more of them are calling for more investigations of everything connected to Trump and some are already calling for his impeachment. Our nation has several real crises the Dems choose not to deal with. About one hundred thousand illegal immigrants are coming in every month. That’s a million and a quarter a year. Even scumbag/liar-nObama’s secretary of Homeland Security, Jeh Johnson, admits it’s a national emergency. Americans are still fighting and dying in Afghanistan and Iraq to no avail. States are unprepared for the next round of election interference by the Russians, Chinese and others which is going to make what the Russians did in 2016 seem trivial... https://spectator.org/the-democrats-fanaticism/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=a821c0ebd1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_22_04_29&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-a821c0ebd1-104608113

Why The So-Called Equality Act

Is A Bait-and-Switch Power Grab

by Stella Morabito

{ thefederalist.com } ~ Let’s place ourselves, for a moment, into the mindset of a statist. If you and your cronies wanted to control everybody’s lives, how exactly would you go about getting such raw power?... Obviously, you wouldn’t come right out and say you have a special project designed specifically to cement a permanent one-party state. You wouldn’t explain, full disclosure, that the ever-growing bureaucracy you have in mind would promote a surveillance state and coercion that produces toxic levels of social distrust. You wouldn’t clarify that the point is to keep tabs on everyone in every aspect of their lives, including their education, their businesses, their medicine, their housing, their families, and their churches. No, of course not. You would mask your self-supremacist intentions with a benign and trendy word like “equality.” You’d pretend that your project was about helping a vulnerable minority. To prevent scrutiny, you’d quickly shame anybody who had a question about it and defame them as haters. At the same time, you’d give special favors to those who can be persuaded to support your con job. That’s usually how such things are done, as the history of authoritarian systems proves. So we have the “Equality” Act, recently introduced by Democrats in Congress. It’s currently being considered in various committee hearings and is on track for a floor vote in the House of Representatives later this spring or early this summer. On the surface, the “Equality” Act is supposed to protect LGBT folks from discrimination by adding the categories of sexual orientation and gender identity to all federal civil rights laws, including the 1964 Civil Rights Act. It would make claims of discrimination related to these characteristics legally actionable in the way racism is, and aapplying to virtually every area of life: the workplace, education, banking, jury service, federal funding, housing, medicine and psychiatry, and all public facilities...

Parents Should Be Able

to Put Kids in Safe Schools

by Robert Holland

{spectator.org} ~ Florida, a leader in school choice, is addressing the bullying epidemic in the Sunshine State’s public schools by allowing parents to transfer their children to safer schools... Evidence shows bullying is the number-one disciplinary problem in public schools, with more than six million kids affected annually. Furthermore, federal statistics indicate approximately 945,000 of bullied students likely missed school at least once in the past month because they were too afraid to attend. In 2018, Florida implemented the Hope Scholarship program, which provides financial assistance to families of children who have been bullied so they can transfer to safer schools. When it was passed, the Hope Scholarship program was the first of its kind nationally. In 2019, Colorado and Kansas are considering similar programs, in the form of Child Safety Accounts. Under the Hope program, parents can transfer their child to another public school or apply for a scholarship to an eligible private school if their child has been bullied or physically attacked in public school. The state funds the scholarships through voluntary contributions from automobile purchases. Some school choice opponents claim the Hope Scholarship program is an invitation to rip off taxpayers for an extra school subsidy. However, the scholarship’s current maximum value of $7,111 is less than 78 percent of the amount spent per public school student. In other words, the subsidy would be greater if the bullied student stayed in the public school, not the other way around... https://spectator.org/parents-should-be-able-to-put-kids-in-safe-schools/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=a821c0ebd1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_22_04_29&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-a821c0ebd1-104608113

Dems' Rejection of dirty cop-Mueller's

Exoneration of Trump Endangers our Republic

by Karin McQuillan

{ americanthinker.com } ~ Old pols like Pulosi and scumbag-Schumer and loose lips-Biden surely knew the accusations that President Trump was a traitor, working hand in glove with Putin, were absurd and unfounded... In throwing their lot in with those accusing Donald Trump of being a traitor, they betrayed their country, their voters, the rule of law, and the foundations of our republican form of government. Their rejection of the dirty cop-Mueller exoneration was fore-ordained. They cannot and will not return to normal politics. The information that the Russia collusion investigation was based on Team scumbag/liar-Hillary’s oppo research was soon known. We quickly learned that scumbag-Comey hid that vital information from the FISA court. We learned that the scumbag/liar-Obama DOJ and intelligence agencies went beyond eavesdropping, to blatant entrapment efforts. Revelations on the dirty work of liar-Susan Rice, scumbag-Clapper and scumbag/commie-Brennan, Rosenstein, followed swiftly. Mark Levin, in a must-see take-down of dirty cop-Mueller on Fox and Friends, asks “How can you talk about Russia interfering in our election and ignore the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign, and the DNC, and the senior level FBI that’s been wiped out by their own conduct? How in the world can you do that and not interview Barack scumbag/liar-nObama and liar-Susan Rice and all the rest of them?” Levin’s question, of course, answers itself: the entire Resistance and dirty cop-Mueller investigation has been a cover-up for Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s role in the under-handed campaign to take down President Trump with dirty tricks...

What if we behaved as leftists behave?

by Erik Rush

{ wnd.com } ~ They label their opponents as racists – one of the most odious things a person can be thought of in America – with absolutely no substantiation for the charge, and they do it unceasingly. When words fail, they violently attack those with whom they disagree. Indeed, they routinely countenance violence yet, in passive-aggressive stance, bleat like helpless, wretched victims when their opponents take the offensive, or even suggest taking the offensive.

In the workplace, they take improper liberties with their subordinates and engage in fraud in order to get their children into high-profile universities. Their captains of industry conspire to corner emerging markets and then scheme to marginalize vast segments of the populace and business interests in order to advance their malignant political agenda, then lie to Congress when questioned about it. They conspire to flood the country with illegal immigrants and emigrés from hostile nations in order to skew elections in their favor and to foment civil unrest.It is quite clear at this point that the political left has determined that the ends justify the means in coalescing their political power. The rule of law, ethics and long-held concepts of fair play have been discarded.

Their leaders are aware that all of the foregoing behavior is merely a strategy: They know that their political opponents don’t merit the charges leveled against them, and that their own followers’ behavior is manifestly antisocial.

Their followers – far left voters and activists – are the true believers, however. They’ve been convinced that pretty much everyone right-of-center are so noxious and dangerous that they must be overcome by any means necessary.

The problem here is that such “true believers” can be marshaled to commit singularly heinous acts ahead of the rise of a regime that would enroll statutory stormtroopers to do its bidding. We’ve seen this occur before in countries that have been subjugated by socialists, and it never ends well. The dehumanization of political opponents inevitably sets the stage for atrocities.

So, let’s examine a purely hypothetical scenario for context: What if conservatives, libertarians and constitutionalists began to operate in the same manner? Meaning that, suppose this segment determined that the ends do indeed justify the means, and that the rule of law, ethics and long-held concepts of fair play should be discarded as a point of prudence, considering that their opponents have done so.

Further, suppose that these people – who do outnumber radical leftists on the order of 15-to-1 – reasoned that since leftists managed to murder, maim and enslave nearly a half-billion people during the last century, and that American leftists are precisely following the playbook of past and present socialist regimes, they probably ought not take any chances.

Suppose these patriots decided, given the above, that militant action ought to remain on the table; that, considering the wholesale infiltration of our government by socialists, Islamists and assorted leftist radicals, we are at war even if our woefully compromised federal government refuses to acknowledge it.

Perhaps such individuals would organize, as some fringe left-wing groups have done. They might begin to engage in counterintelligence operations against openly seditious lawmakers and other operatives, bringing their subversive actions into focus for the general population, which the establishment press obviously will not do.

Perhaps some seasoned former military types of this mindset might organize clandestinely, and prominent leftists would begin to suffer very unfortunate mishaps. Let’s say that these individuals possessed such proficiency that there were seldom signs of foul play and never anyone to perp walk before the eager cameras of the press.

It goes almost without saying that actions even remotely resembling these would be seized upon by the left as having been committed by right-wing extremists. Concerning this question, I would offer up the fact that since those on the left have demonstrated little compunction as regards trying to frame those on the right for violence and hate crimes, right-wing groups would have little trouble dismissing any accusations as potential frame jobs.

Now, leaving aside the ugly atmosphere that this kind of behavior would create and the inherent dangers involved the potential for escalating civil unrest and blowback from law enforcement, for example, the likely result is that those on the left would become far less vocal, less confrontational and less effective. The reason for this is because – as we have seen demonstrated time and again – extreme cowardice is in their nature. They would see the political right going on the offensive giving rise to a more level playing field, and they already know that they cannot compete on a level playing field. The knowledge that their political opponents were now willing to respond in kind to provocation would utterly neutralize the left’s ground game, which would be a decidedly good thing.

It’s probable than none of this will come to pass, however, because conservatives, libertarians and constitutionalists respect the rule of law, ethics and concepts of fair play. We don’t intimidate our opponents into silence, and we do not employ the last resort violence as a first measure, which has served us well.

My only hope is that in the long term, this deportment can survive the machinations of socialists, who clearly do not share these values with us.

scumbag liar-Nadler says there is 'plenty of

evidence of obstruction' in dirty cop-Mueller

report, believes Don Jr. should

by Andrew O'Reilly

{foxnews.com} ~ House Judiciary Committee Chairman scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler, D-NY, argued on Sunday that, despite Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller deciding not to charge President Trump with obstruction of justice... he believes there is still plenty of evidence of obstruction by the president. scumbag liar-Nadler, who filed a subpoena Friday for dirty cop-Mueller’s full, unredacted report, said that dirty cop-Mueller only restrained from charging Trump with obstruction of justice because of the longstanding Justice Department opinion that a sitting president can’t be indicted. “dirty cop-Mueller says that although a thorough FBI investigation might very well show evidence of obstruction of justice with the president, ‘we’re not going to do that because of the Department of Justice’s legal opinion that a president, a sitting president, can't be indicted and it would be unfair to lay out the facts justifying an indictment without giving the president the opportunity and a trial to clear his name,’ ”scumbag liar-Nadler said on Sunday during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet The Press.” He added: “Attorney General William Barr misinterpreted that, or misrepresented that I should say, to say they didn't find obstruction.

Trump sues to block Democrats’ subpoena

for financial information

by Alex Pappas and John Roberts

{foxnews.com} ~ Lawyers for President Trump on Monday sued to block a subpoena issued by members of Congress that sought the business magnate's financial records... The complaint named Rep. scumbag-Elijah Cummings, the Democratic chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, and Peter Kenny, the chief investigative counsel of the House committee, as its plaintiffs. "We will not allow Congressional Presidential harassment to go unanswered," said Jay Sekulow, counsel to the president. Earlier this month, scumbag-Cummings, D-Md., said the committee would subpoena accounting firm Mazars USA LLC for Trump’s financial information. scumbag-Cummings is seeking annual statements, periodic financial reports and independent auditors reports from Mazars, as well as records of communications with Trump. In seeking the records, scumbag-Cummings has cited the February testimony from former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, who claimed the president inflated or deflated the value of his assets when it would benefit him. Democrats sent a letter to Mazars in March requesting information about how Trump’s financial statements were prepared, but the firm said it could not voluntarily turn over documents unless subpoenaed... https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-sues-to-block-democrats-subpoena-for-financial-information

The Biggest Hole In The dirty cop-Mueller Report

by conservativehq.com: We have been going through the dirty cop-Mueller Report and will have a few more things to say about it as we complete our review and analysis, but first let’s go over what we see as the biggest hole in the Report... The biggest hole is the Report’s utter failure to address the validity of the “predicate” to the entire Trump investigation. Starting with the FISA warrants against Carter Page investigated but never charged with any crime, the George Papadopoulos closed loop of information from the scumbag/liar-nObama intelligence apparatus to Papadopoulos, through Australian Ambassador Alexander Downer and back to the scumbag/liar-nObama FBI, and the false pretenses behind the Trump Tower meeting and the troubling scumbag/liar-Clinton – Democrat connections with the players in that meeting, dirty cop-Mueller’s report delves into none of the phony “predicates” upon which the pre- and post-election actions of the FBI and scumbag/liar-nObama Department of Justice were justified. And this doesn’t even include the Steele Dossier and its salacious and unverified allegations that garnered thousands if not millions of column inches in establishment newspapers, magazines and websites and untold hours of coverage on TV. It’s as if dirty cop-Mueller didn’t want to know whether any of the information that launched the investigation he was overseeing was a set-up or even true. Democrats went nuts when Attorney General William Barr told senators that “I think spying did occur” in the Trump-Russia investigation conducted by among others the Justice Department and the FBI during the 2016 presidential campaign. “The question,” Barr elaborated, “is whether it was adequately predicated.” Because “spying on a political campaign is a big deal,” he explained that he would undertake an internal review, focusing on what the original rationale was for the spying. As our friend, former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew C. McCarthy put it in a column for Fox News... http://www.conservativehq.com/node/30097

Dem Candidate in PA Special Election Called

for Middle-Class Tax Increase

by Todd Shepherd

{ freebeacon.com } ~ The Democratic nominee in a Pennsylvania special election for a U.S. House seat called for a tax increase on the middle class in a video posted online... Marc Friedenberg, a college professor who lost the election for Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District last November, is now hoping to be elected after Republican Representative Tom Marino resigned in January. Marino beat Friedenberg by 32 points in a district that went heavily for President Trump in 2016. "We should be raising taxes on the middle class so that they're paying their fair share," he said in an online video that was posted on his Facebook account in December of 2017. In numerous instances during the video that runs just under three-and-a-half minutes, Friedenberg appears to read off a script."This is an outrageously unfair hit piece that blatantly takes a slip of the tongue in an old video out-of-context to hide the fact that our opponent supports destroying Social Security," said Gregory Minchak with the Friedenberg campaign. "The entire video discusses that to pay for massive tax cuts for billionaires and international conglomerates, Republicans like Fred Keller want to end Social Security as we know it. Unlike his opponent, Marc has consistently called for middle class tax cuts, affordable health insurance, and the saving of Social Security."...

There's No White Privilege,

Only Racial Differences

by Daniel Greenfield

{sultanknish.blogspot.com} ~ White privilege, the hottest racist idea since cross-burnings at midnight and photos with Farrakhan, is a subject of academic study and media discourse. It’s hard to escape its pernicious message that an entire race is tainted by virtue of its skin color and that the accomplishments of any individual white person are due, not to his or her efforts, but to race, skin color, and a national infrastructure of white supremacism.

But who actually believes in white privilege?

A recent Pew race relations survey notes that white people are the least likely to believe that being white helps one get ahead in life. Racial activists see such results as proof of white privilege. Only white people, they insist, could be so oblivious to their racial privileges in the face of the oppression of non-whites. Your skin has to be whiter than vanilla not to realize how badly all the oppressed races have it.

So, who does believe in white privilege?

According to the survey, the race most likely to believe that white skin gets you ahead in life are Asians.

72% of Asians surveyed believe that being white provides advantages. They were, by far, the group least likely to accept that being white has no impact on success in life or that it’s actually a disadvantage.

It’s curious that the single most successful non-white race is so convinced of the benefits of whiteness.

Asian Americans outperform white Americans on everything from education to income to family status. Census Bureau statistics showed that Asian-American median income was at $78,000 while white median household income was only $62,000. At 3%, Asian unemployment is lower than those of whites.

Asian-Americans are more likely to have degrees and advanced degrees than white people. They’re also less likely to be divorced, and Asian-American homelessness rates are only a third of those of whites.

These statistics don’t paint a picture of a downtrodden minority. The attempts to play statistical games to prove otherwise rely on discredited statistical stunts and frantic arm-waving arguments. And yet what does it say that the people most likely to believe in white privilege are better off than white people?

On the other side of the dial, the race least likely to believe in the incredible power of white privilege are Hispanics. They are only 5% more likely than white people to believe that being white helps you get ahead in life. And they are as likely as white people to believe that being white has no meaningful effect.

Statistically speaking, Hispanics have lower median income, employment and education rates than white people. Yet they are also the most likely to be skeptical about the incredible power of white privilege.

These two contrasts show that belief in white privilege has nothing to do with oppression or privilege.

Asian-Americans and African-Americans have high rates of confidence in white privilege even though statistically the two groups are far apart in median income, education rates and other success metrics.

It isn’t success or lack of it that leads to a belief in white privilege. It’s racial differences.

Why are Asian-Americans and African-Americans the most likely to believe in the power of white skin, and why are Hispanics and white people the least likely to believe that it has magical success powers?

Hispanics may fall below Asian-Americans and whites in income levels, education and success metrics, but they also have the fewest racial differences with white people. Indeed, the entire idea that Hispanics are a separate race is an absurd construct of political correctness. Hispanics see the fewest racial differences with white people and are therefore the least likely to believe in magical white privilege.

White privilege, like all racist ideas, depends on the ‘otherness’ of a racial group. In this case, whites.

The races that are most likely to see white people as an ‘other’ are also the most likely to believe that being white confers magical success powers. The belief that being a member of another group confers special success privileges is a common, and not always, harmful stereotype and racial myth.

Asian-Americans are perceived, by non-Asians, as having a special ability to succeed. This notion has been codified in the Tiger Mom stereotype and even cruder clichés. Jews are also seen as having a special touch. This stereotype doesn’t just exist among Europeans and Americans, it’s also popular in China where books such as 16 Reasons for Jews Getting Wealthy, Know All of the Money-Making Stories of the Talmud, and Secret of Jewish Success: Ten Commandments of Jewish Success make the rounds.

These books may be misguided, but they view Jewish success through a Confucian lens and recognize that it is rooted in cultural skills. It’s the same reason Chinese academics remain fascinated by the Protestant work ethic. Likewise, Asian-American success springs from discipline and dedication.

American integration was based on the understanding that cultural skills could be adopted and learned. As Jews and Protestants had both learned from each other. And as the Chinese seek to learn from both. White privilege counters that with the toxic racist idea that success is, by definition, unearned. And that the best way to understand the success of a group is through the lens of racial conspiracy theories.

Group success isn’t something to imitate. Instead it should be condemned as a racial conspiracy.

But the same bigoted conspiracy theories that stigmatize white success as a racial conspiracy, can just as easily tar the success stories of Asian-Americans and Jews, both groups whose successes have often been viewed as the products of racial conspiracies, rather than of their dedication and hard work.

Racial differences make it all too easy to see people of different races as being members of a racial conspiracy. That is what white privilege contends. White privilege borrows the white nationalist slur of a Jewish, conscious or unconscious, racial conspiracy to explain not just Jewish success, but white success. It’s just as racist whether it’s articulated by Peggy McIntosh or Kevin McDonald. The underlying bigoted idea is just as racist whether it’s applied to all white people or only to Jews.

It’s not just racial differences, but the degree of integration that may also explain the survey’s results.

African-Americans are only 3% less likely than Asians to believe in the power of whiteness. But nearly a quarter of African-Americans believe that being white has no meaningful impact on success in life while only a fifth of Asian-Americans recognize that fact. Why are African-Americans more likely than Asian-Americans to recognize that whiteness confers no special powers on the average white person?

The answer may be integration.

Despite the racist conspiracy theories foisted on African-Americans by a radical racist leadership, they are more likely to have spent generations living and working side by side with white Americans. However a majority of Asian-Americans are immigrants, and a majority don’t feel culturally integrated. Most Asian-American immigrants report not feeling like a typical American. And this is the result.

The belief in white privilege among Asian-Americans in the survey reflects that lack of integration. Like racial differences, national and cultural differences can nurture stereotypes and perceptions of otherness. The conviction that being white helps you succeed doesn’t reflect the experiential reality of Asian-American success, but comes of viewing those they perceive as typical Americans as ‘other’.

The Pew survey demonstrates that belief in white privilege is not the outcome of oppression, but of misunderstanding, otherness and stereotype. The people most likely to believe that white people have an unfair advantage are not the oppressed, but the groups with the greatest sense of racial difference.

You are more likely to believe in the power of white privilege if you view white people as being very different, either from your own race, or, if you are a white progressive, from other races.

The best disinfectant for the white privilege stereotype, as for so many other bad ideas, is sunlight. Unfortunately, academia and the media, instead of countering prejudices, reinforce racial stereotypes and bigoted ideas such as white privilege. And that divides the country further into warring camps.

Like any other stereotype, white privilege should be denounced. And the racist assumptions underlying it should be exposed in order to educate those who have come to harbor this ugly idea in their hearts.

Monday Top News Executive Summary

Media Editors: WARNING SIGNS IGNORED: “Sri Lankan officials failed to heed warnings from intelligence agencies about the threat of an attack by a domestic radical Muslim group that officials blame for Easter Sunday bombings which killed more than 200 people. … International intelligence agencies warned of the attacks several times starting April 4, [Health Minister Rajitha] Senaratne said. On April 9, the defense ministry wrote to the police chief with intelligence that included the group’s name, he said. On April 11, police wrote to the heads of security of the judiciary and diplomatic security division, Senaratne said. It was not immediately clear what action, if any, was taken in response.” (Associated Press)

SCOTUS TACKLES CITIZENSHIP QUESTION: “The battle over the Trump administration’s efforts to add a question on citizenship to the 2020 census is hitting the Supreme Court. The justices will hear arguments on Tuesday over the administration adding the question, a controversial move that has sparked legal battles throughout the U.S. court system. The Commerce Department, which administers the census, is expected to argue that it has the authority to collect data on citizenship and that the question is needed to help with the Justice Department’s enforcement of the Voting Rights Act.” (The Hill)

NO MORE IRAN-OIL PRIVILEGES: “The United States on Monday said it will eliminate in May all waivers granted to eight economies allowing them to buy Iranian oil without facing U.S. sanctions, as it ratcheted up pressure to choke off all oil revenues of the Islamic Republic. … The sanctions were imposed as Washington pressed Iran to curtail its nuclear program and stop backing militant proxies across the Middle East. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday reiterated that Washington’s goal was to bring down exports of Iranian oil to zero and added the United States had no plans to give any grace period beyond May 1 for countries to comply.” (Reuters)

NO JOKE: UKRAINE ELECTS COMEDIAN: “Increasingly, voters are plumping for reality-TV stars to express their anger and seek solutions to intractable problems. Donald Trump … is the most obvious example. But look at Ukraine: This nation of 44 million people just saw a comedian who plays a fictional Ukrainian president on TV win 73 percent of the vote and become … the president-elect.” (National Review)

TWO YEARS TOO LATE: “The salacious and uncorroborated ‘dossier’ compiled by ex-British Intelligence officer Christopher Steele was used by the media to justify its endless attacks on President Donald Trump and accuse him of treason. … Now, after two years of using the dossier to perpetuate the ‘collusion’ narrative, The New York Times has finally acknowledged what those of us not parroting the collusion delusion have known for years — the dossier was garbage.” (The Daily Signal)

NOW DRIVING THE IMPEACHMENT BANDWAGON: “Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren (D., Mass.) became the first 2020 presidential candidate to call for the initiation of impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump on Friday, calling it the ‘constitutional duty’ of Congress following the findings of the dirty cop-Robert Mueller report. dinky-Warren sent out a series of tweets Friday afternoon saying the partially redacted dirty cop-Mueller report released Thursday had laid out the facts of Russian interference in the 2016 election and wrote Trump ‘obstructed the investigation into that attack.’ There was no other recourse for his actions than impeachment, she said.” (The Washington Free Beacon)

NINTH CIRCUS BOWS AGAIN TO SANCTUARY CITIES: “The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals discarded the Trump administration’s attempt to block two of California’s sanctuary laws and determined Thursday that the laws, which restrict local cooperation with federal law enforcement, will remain in place. … The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals did block a portion of a third sanctuary city law that was passed in 2017, known as Assembly Bill 103. The court blocked part of the law requires state officials to examine federal immigration detention facilities in California.” (Washington Examiner)

BORDER MILITIAMEN APPREHENDED: “The FBI on Saturday said it had arrested Larry Hopkins, the leader of an armed group that is stopping undocumented migrants after they cross the U.S.-Mexico border into New Mexico. … Hopkins, 69, also known as Johnny Horton, was arrested in Sunland Park, New Mexico, on a federal complaint charging him with being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition. … The [United Constitutional Patriots] describes itself as a ‘patriot group’ helping U.S. Border Patrol cope with record numbers of Central American families crossing the border to seek asylum.” (Reuters)

Understanding Jesus's Mission

by Trevor Thomas

{ americanthinker.com } ~ One of the most important questions in the history of the universe is “Why did Jesus have to die?” This is especially the case as we are in the throes of what many are referring to as the “post-truth” era... where “Everybody Wants to Rule Their World.” The late great Oswald Chambers provides one of the best descriptions of why Jesus went to the cross: The Cross of Christ is the revealed truth of God’s judgment on sin…There is nothing in time or eternity more absolutely certain and irrefutable than what Jesus Christ accomplished on the Cross -- He made it possible for the entire human race to be brought back into a right-standing relationship with God. He made redemption the foundation of human life; that is, He made a way for every person to have fellowship with God. The Cross was not something that happened to Jesus -- He came to die; the Cross was His purpose in coming. He is “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:8). The incarnation of Christ would have no meaning without the Cross. Beware of separating “God was manifested in the flesh…” from “…He made Him… to be sin for us…” (1 Timothy 3:16 ; 2 Corinthians 5:21). The purpose of the incarnation was redemption. One of my favorite scriptures that explains the death of Jesus is near the end of the first chapter of the book of Colossians. Colossians 1:19-20 reads: For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him [Jesus], and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. In other words, Jesus was, in the words of C.S. Lewis, “The Perfect Penitent.” As Lewis puts it, We are told that Christ was killed for us, that His death has washed out our sins, and that by dying He disabled death itself. That is the formula. That is Christianity. That is what has to be believed. Christ dying for our sins is an amazing and necessary act of love and sacrifice, but it is not the end of the matter. Just as important as Christ dying for our sins is His resurrection. The physical resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of Christianity. As Lewis put it, “to preach Christianity meant primarily to preach the Resurrection.”... https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/understanding_jesus_mission.html

Fox’s Wallace Puts scumbag-Schiff in the Hot

Seat Over Claims of Collusion Proof —

And Brings the Receipts

by Houston Keene

{ ijr.com } ~ Fox News’ Chris Wallace put chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Rep. scumbag-Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) in the hot seat on Sunday... asking the California Democrat about his claims to have seen proof of collusion between President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Russian government. While appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” scumbag-Schiff was pressed on his multiple past claims of collusion evidence between Trump’s 2016 campaign and the Kremlin, even though Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report “did not establish” collusion. When scumbag-Schiff attempted to push back, Wallace illustrated his point with a compilation of clips from interviews in which the congressman repeated his claim that he had seen proof that the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia, including one during which he said the evidence was “in plain sight.” scumbag-Schiff responded by saying it was a “different question” as to whether or not there was enough evidence that “rises to proof beyond a reasonable doubt” to establish there was “conspiracy” between Trump’s campaign and Russia... https://ijr.com/adam-schiff-hot-seat-wallace-collusion-evidence-claims/

dirty cop-Mueller report: scumbag/liar-nObama

failed to stop Russian interference

efforts for years

by Jerry McCormick

{ patriotnewsalerts.com } ~ While Democrats continue to try to find something on President Donald Trump in the dirty cop-Mueller report, they’re overlooking a major revelation in the report... The report confirms that the scumbag/liar-nObama administration knew about Russian attempts to meddle in American elections as early as 2014 but “did nothing” to stop it, CNN contributor and former Bush aide Scott Jennings wrote in an op-ed for CNN. Jennings pointed out that scumbag/liar-nObama ignored the Russian efforts to interfere in U.S. elections through online misinformation campaigns and computer hacking. “The dirty cop-Mueller report flatly states that Russia began interfering in American democracy in 2014. Over the next couple of years, the effort blossomed into a robust attempt to interfere in our 2016 presidential election. The scumbag/liar-nObama administration knew this was going on and yet did nothing. In 2016, scumbag/liar-nObama’s National Security Adviser Susan Rice told her staff to “stand down” and “knock it off” as they drew up plans to “strike back” against the Russians, according to an account from Michael Isikoff and David Corn in their book ‘Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump,'” wrote Jennings. That was about all that was done until late December 2016. Before December 2016, scumbag/liar-nObama was working on the Iran deal, for which he needed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s support. Rather than upset Putin, scumbag/liar-nObama appears to have chosen to more or less ignore what the Russians were doing, Jennings argues. This continued during the 2016 election because scumbag/liar-nObama did not want to appear to favor Democratic candidate scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton. The bottom line during that time was the scumbag/liar-nObama administration knew the Russians favored a Trump presidency over a scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton presidency... https://www.patriotnewsalerts.com/mueller-report-worse-for/

Nasrallah Warns of War this Summer,

Worries he could Be Killed

by Tzvi Joffre

{ jpost.com } ~ Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah warned top military commanders in a private meeting this week that there will be a war with Israel this summer... and that he may not be around to support them, according to Elijah J. Magnier, a writer for the Kuwaiti Al Rai news. “I may not remain among you for very long; it is possible that the entire first level of leadership could be killed, including myself,” Nasrallah reportedly told the commanders. “Measures and procedures have already been taken to be ready even if this extreme case happens.” Al Rai is Kuwait's daily newspaper. Surveys by the Washington-based Intermedia group have ranked the paper one among Kuwaiti newspapers. Nasrallah reportedly said that he expects the war to take everybody by surprise, like the 2006 Lebanon War. “Israel can surprise us all like it did in Gaza in 2008 with the objective of removing the threat on its borders once and for all,” Nasrallah stated. “This is what our people should know, and they should from now on be prepared for the worse-case scenario.” According to the report, Hezbollah believes that Israel will evacuate Israeli settlements near the Lebanese border to prevent the possibility of kidnappings. A “knowledgeable source” told Magnier that “this is the first time Sayyed Nasrallah has offered such a bleak perspective, raising the chances of war with Israel from 50/50 to 70/30.” Magnier also claims that Nasrallah believes that other countries, including the USA, the UK and many Arab states could take part in an upcoming conflict...

Things the Media Ignored

in the dirty cop-Mueller Report

by Clarice Feldman

{ americanthinker.com } ~ Despite the oceans of pixels, buckets of ink, and hours of TV and radio coverage respecting the dirty cop-Mueller report, there are two important things underplayed or ignored... the ubiquitous nature of Russian interference from 2014 on, which scumbag/liar-nObama ignored, and the real target of the witch hunt -- General Michael Flynn and why. To get there, let’s first quickly review the pre- and post- report major media coverage. The Ridiculous Press Propagation of the Hoax and Response to the Report. There are countless examples of the media beclowning itself when the left’s dream of a slam-dunk against the president failed. It was like the election night follies all over again. To quote the satirical Babylon Bee: “CNN: ‘God Allowed the dirty cop-Mueller Report to Test Our Unshakable Faith in Collusion’” Here are some examples. CNN’s Jake Tapper indicated it was suspicious that Attorney General William Barr repeated several times that the report found no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. This after his network touted the notion of collusion hundreds of times over the past two years. As my friend Harry Lewis noted, this repetition was “not only fair, but essential to driving home the hostile media’s malice, stupidity, and folly. Barr did that with great economy.” At the Barr presser on the report, CBS’s Paula Reid suggested that the attorney general’s summary was too generous to the president. In particular, she questioned his characterization of the dirty cop-Mueller investigation as “unprecedented”. Barr who is clearly no lightweight, responded, “Is there a precedent for it?” “Well, no,” conceded Reid. “Okay so unprecedented is an accurate description, isn’t it.” ”Yeah,” admitted Reid. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but disgraced NBC anchor Brian Williams is certainly a top contender, comparing Barr to Iraq’s former propaganda minister Baghdad Bob. You might recall Williams was nabbed making up stories about Hurricane Katrina. While most of the media blathered on, caught flatfooted in pushing for years the scumbag/liar-Clinton fable, not all were suckered in... https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/things_the_media_ignored_in_the_mueller_report.html

A Reckoning Is in Store for Democrats

Conrad Black

{ nationalreview.com } ~ The crisis of the Democrats is becoming more evident each week. Those of us who have been loudly predicting for years that the Russian-collusion argument would be exposed as a defamatory farce, and that the authors of it would eventually pay for it, are bemused at the fallback position of the Trump-haters: that the distinguished attorney general has whitewashed the president in his summary and his decision that there was no obstruction of justice. One of the most entertaining moments of news-watching in many years came last week, when former national intelligence director scumbag-James Clapper said it was “scary” and former FBI director scumbag-Comey said it was “bizarre” to hear Attorney General William Barr say that the Trump campaign had been spied on. It has been obvious for a long time that both these men and former CIA director scumbag/commie-John Brennan lied under oath on a number of occasions, and scumbag-Comey’s complaint last week that “court-ordered surveillance” wasn’t spying is going to get a full assessment when the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) warrants that were the court authorization in this case, and were obtained on the basis of false campaign smears assembled and paid for by the scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign, are judicially considered.

Given the proportions of the scam that has been perpetrated, the principal actors, including those just named, deserve commendation for the imperishability of their unctuousness. These people seem still to be oblivious to the fact that lying under oath and producing false FISA applications are serious offenses. And some of the congressional Democrats, such as Congressmen scumbag liar-Nadler, scumbag-Swallwill, and scumbag-Schiff the new-millennium version of “Martin, Barton, and Fish,” made infamous by FDR in 1940, seem to think they have a perfect constitutional right to keep the president in the pillory of their spurious investigations indefinitely. The whole edifice of the Trump moral crisis is coming down in shards around the ears of the scumbag/liar-Clinton and scumbag/liar-nObama Democrats.

The numberless candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination will presumably go to hilarious extremes to sidestep the whole Trump-impeachment debacle, but the credibility of the Democratic party, given the total immersion the scumbag/liar-Clinton/scumbag/ liar-nObama era is about to receive in the Trump-collusion perfidy, will not be unscathed. After the brave launches of the candidacies, almost all of them have floundered. Kirsten Gillibrand, who has done and said absolutely nothing to merit consideration as president, has launched and sunk down the slipways and beneath the waves — her candidacy has attracted zero support. Most of the other candidates are equally unprepossessing. scumbag-Cory Booker, perhaps the most compulsively verbose candidate since Hubert Humphrey who was a good deal more thoughtful and entertaining, is apparently full of goodwill, but very inadequate. lowlife-Kamala Harris seems to have the makings of a good candidate, but she is already tangled up in the runaway leftward nonsense of open borders, socialized medicine, high taxes, and the Green terror. socalist-Beto O’Rourke, as foreseen, after a brief flurry, has skateboarded off the dock and been abandoned by the media as an arm-flapping airhead. Elizabeth dinky-Warren is everyone’s nightmare of a severe, humorless kindergarten teacher, and she will not recover from her masquerade as a native Indian. Amy Klobuchar is sensible and seems likeable but has no pizzazz and hasn’t made inroads so far with radical normalcy, though its time could come.

The sensible majority of Democrats note that their party, on the heels of the Russian-collusion disaster, has completely bungled the border-and-migration issue and has gone down in flames with the claim that it is a crisis manufactured by the president. They have watched in silent horror as their party has been stampeded to the left, and the search is already under way for a moderate candidate. This will require breaking the bipartisan tradition of elevating the runner-up from the previous campaign. commie-Bernie Sanders would expect to follow scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton, as Mrs. scumbag/liar-Clinton lost to and succeeded Barack scumbag/liar-nObama, and Bob Dole did the same with George H. W. Bush, and rino-John McCain with George W. Bush. But commie-Bernie Sanders will be 79 on the next Inauguration Day, and he was too far left for the Democrats four years ago, when they lost to Trump, and he is still moving left. They are starting to put up a commie-Sanders alternative every two weeks, as the Republicans did against rino-Mitt Romney in 2012 — Michelle Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum — and rino-Romney was a centrist. Each rival arose, mounted a serious challenge, and then imploded for different reasons.

The Democrats’ main Stop commie-Sanders candidate has been loose lips-Joe Biden, but he has been sandbagged by the now customary, if not obligatory, flood of disrespected women from previous years and decades. That seems to be surmountable, as loose lips-Biden was only tactile, not intrusive, but the simmering concerns about his financial relations with Ukraine and controversies in his family seem to be delaying his decision. He is not, at the best of times, an exciting candidate, but he might at least prevent a McGovern-level seismic electoral landslide, which is what awaits any Democratic candidate festooned with the cornucopia of this campaign’s far-left nostrums.

socalist-Beto was the first try at a new face, and he bombed. Mayor Pete Buttigieg seems to be the next. He is an interesting candidate and had a good launch. The fact that he is only 37, gay, and the mayor of a rather small city gives him plenty of novelty, and he is the most articulate of the candidates. His approach to the gay issue is also imaginative. He is unapologetic about being gay and asserts that he would much rather be straight, but that God made him as he is, and therefore this should not be held against him: “Your complaint is with my creator.” It is not belligerent gay-pride-in-your-face self-defense. There are presumably an appreciable number of people, most of them quite tolerant, who would rather not have a gay president, and their problem, in that regard, is with the candidate, not with God, who created tens of millions of people they would not, for many other reasons, wish to be president. Good try, but no sale. Mayor Pete deserves to hang in for a while, but he is a bit of a wolf in sheep’s clothing ideologically, and being mayor of South Bend is a training school for Congress or being governor, but not president in one leap.

My guess is that loose lips-Biden can still win the nomination, but it will be a pretty unenthused campaign. If he doesn’t make his move fairly soon, Klobuchar may gradually rise as the presentable alternative to sirens of the left. Trump will get an improved trade arrangement with China, the North Korean discussions will at least not have descended back to nuclear saber-rattling, and there may be progress in the Middle East, as the Arabs don’t want the Palestinians muddying the waters while the Turks and Iranians are crowding the Arab powers. Trump will have got enough done with the southern border to satisfy the national concern on that subject, will have a full-employment economy, and will conduct an extremely flamboyant campaign flailing the Democrats with all the Trump-collusion nonsense. Incumbent presidents have been defeated only twice since the Great Depression — Jimmy Carter was not a very effective president, and George H. W. Bush allowed the political charlatan Ross Perot to split his party and take 20 million votes. Trump will have the strongest first term to run on since Reagan, or even Nixon, and they both carried 49 states. Trump won’t do that, but he hasn’t made a seriously unfortunate public utterance for months and looks stronger each week.

by sundance

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ I’m on my fifth 4×8 whiteboard overlay, now formatted into a timeline sequence; and I’m determined to have a massive amount of material for both the House and Senate... to confront former special counsel dirty cop-Mueller if he complies with requests for appearance. Believe me, this ain’t dirty cop- Mueller’s construct; it’s from the original small group: 19 lawyers, 40 current FBI officials and their Lawfare assistants. They have no idea how much their own hubris has positioned themselves at the precipice of their own grave. In my opinion, the dirty cop-Mueller appearance and a well armed Republican panel should be the ignition spark for The Big Ugly. There is enough material evidence manifest within the 448-page Weissmann report to collapse three-years of intense intelligence abuse and destroy the Democrat party for decades….Thus an unfortunate suspicion, dirty cop-Mueller will never present himself for questioning.

The dirty cop-Mueller Report Vindicates Bill Barr

by Andrew C. McCarthy

{nationalreview.com} ~ Democrats and their media partners owe AG Barr an apology. He won't get one, it goes without saying. Just to recap, the attorney general was accused of misrepresenting dirty cop-Mueller’s report... of providing a false summary of the report; of plotting to use grand-jury law and other secrecy provisions as a pretext to redact most of the report; and of calling an extraordinary press conference in order to exculpate the president by projecting a fraudulent version of the report. These accusations were slanderously false. Barr made dirty cop-Mueller’s bottom-line findings available on a Sunday, March 24, less than two full days after receiving the report from dirty cop-Mueller late on a Friday. Now that the 448-page tome is public, it is easy to see that it could not possibly have been redacted, in keeping with federal law, without a weeks-long review process. If Barr had issued nothing while that painstaking process went on, he’d have been vilified for a cover-up. Instead, he quickly and accurately reported dirty cop-Mueller’s findings . . . and was of course vilified for purportedly lying about what the report said — notwithstanding that dirty cop-Mueller, no wallflower, was cooperating in the redaction process and would obviously not have abided a fictional account of his work. Barr’s brief account could not have been a false summary because he never undertook to summarize the report. He simply communicated dirty cop-Mueller’s bottom line — yes, Russia meddled; no, Trump was not complicit in a criminal conspiracy; and hand-wringing on obstruction, leaving it to Barr to make the final call. Barr maintained that it would violate federal law if he provided grand-jury material to Congress, so he would have to withhold it. Democrats went ballistic . . . but within days, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that grand-jury materials must be kept secret unless they fall under an exception prescribed in Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e) — which does not have an exception for disclosure to Congress. Instead of bloviating, Democrats could simply have proposed an amendment to Rule 6(e) that would have permitted the disclosure, but that would have been an implicit concession that Barr was right. They need Barr to be perceived as not just wrong but corrupt. That’s the strategy... What if Bar didn't share the documents, these lying dems would go ape crazy. https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/04/mueller-report-vindicates-william-barr/?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NR%20Daily%20Saturday%202019-04-20&utm_term=NRDaily-Smart

Mexican troops drew weapons on American

soldiers on US side of the border

by Daniel Jativa

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Mexican troops questioned two U.S. soldiers along the two countries' border earlier this month... The American soldiers were on the U.S. side of the border conducting a routine surveillance operation, defense officials say. Military officials from the U.S. Northern Command said that "five to six Mexican military personnel questioned two U.S. Army soldiers who were conducting border support operations." The soldiers were in an unmarked Customs and Border Protection vehicle near the southwest border in the vicinity of Clint, Texas. Officials confirmed that the Mexican troops were armed with what seemed to be assault riffles. They drew their weapons when they saw the two U.S. soldiers and ordered the U.S. troops to return their weapons to a military vehicle. According to officials, the two Americans obliged "in an attempt to de-escalate a potential volatile situation." "Throughout the incident, the U.S. soldiers followed all established procedures and protocols," Northern Command said in a statement. While the two U.S. troops were on the south side of the security perimeter, officials say that they were still north of the Rio Grande and thus were firmly inside American territory. After the incident, military and Department of Homeland Security officials sent an inquiry to the Mexican government demanding an explanation. "An inquiry by CBP and DOD revealed that the Mexican military members believed that the US Army soldiers were south of the border," said Northern Command, referring to Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Defense. "Though they were south of the border fence, U.S. soldiers remained in U.S. territory, north of the actual border," the statement said, adding that "after a brief discussion between the soldiers from the two nations, the Mexican military members departed the area." https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/mexican-troops-drew-weapons-on-american-soldiers-on-u-s-side-of-the-border?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_04/20/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief&rid=5261

Easter Sunday explosions at multiple churches

tolls rises past 200

and Lucia I. Suarez Sang

{foxnews.com} ~ A pair holding U.S. and British nationalities were among the 11 foreigners killed after a series of explosions struck three churches and three luxury hotels... in and just outside of Sri Lanka’s capital Easter Sunday, leaving at least 207 people dead and 450 others injured, officials said. Sri Lanka's foreign ministry said the other foreigners whose nationalities have been verified included three Indians, one Portuguese national, two Turkish nationals, and three British nationals. The U.S. State Department confirmed in a statement that “several U.S. citizens were among those killed” in the explosions, though details were still emerging. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo went on to condemn the Easter morning "terror attacks." "Attacks on innocent people gathering in a place of worship or enjoying a holiday meal are affronts to the universal values and freedoms that we hold dear, and demonstrate yet again the brutal nature of radical terrorists whose sole aim is to threaten peace and security," Pompeo said in the statement. The six nearly simultaneous blasts—followed hours later by two more explosions—marked the bloodshed as among the worst since the South Asian country’s 26-year civil war ended a decade ago, a spokesperson for the Sri Lanka police said...

White House: Now probe scumbag/liar-Hillary

email scandal, scumbag/liar-Clinton

Foundation, Page, and Strzok

by Paul Bedard

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The White House Thursday ripped the “breathless” media coverage of the Russia collusion “hoax” and said now that it’s over, journalists should turn their attention on scumbag/liar-nObama-era scandals... “While the establishment media has breathlessly covered this partisan witch hunt for nearly two years, they refuse to cover the real scandals that plagued the previous Democrat administration,” said an official. The campaign manager of the Trump 2020 reelection campaign, Brad Parscale, added, "Now that the collusion and obstruction conspiracy theories have been exposed for the pathetic hoaxes they always were, the scumbag/liar-nObama-era Department of Justice and FBI must answer for their misdeeds and the scam that they perpetrated against the American people. Justice will be served.”The administration cited the email scandal that dogged former Secretary of State scumbag/liar-Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose loss to President Trump in 2016 still shocks Democrats. The administration noted that former President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama gave the email scandal a pass when, on "60 Minutes," he said it was a “mistake” but not “a national security problem." That comment raised concern in national security circles, and one former official said, “That’s a problem, right?” It also cited the destruction of over 30,000 scumbag/liar-Clinton emails from her private server in New York after a preservation order had been issued. The White House also wants the scumbag/liar-Clinton Foundation’s funding investigated and the efforts by FBI agents Lisa Page and Peter Strzok to undermine Trump and help scumbag/liar-Clinton in the 2016 election. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/white-house-now-probe-hillary-email-scandal-clinton-foundation-page-and-strzok

Rigging Electoral Demo-Graphics to

Guarantee Leftist Rule

Mark Alexander: Every day since Donald Trump’s electoral victory over Hillary Clinton in November of 2016, leaders of the now-socialist Democrat Party and their deranged legions of “useful idiots” have claimed that the election was stolen.

This theme fueled dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s contrived Russian-collusion investigation into how Trump and the Russians conspired to defeat Clinton. But as it turns out, they didn’t collude — which all but the most dimwitted partisans already knew. However, the Leftmedia’s endless delusional dramatization of the greatest crime in American political history made for great diversionary theater over the last 30 months — and generated a lot of revenue.

Ironically, this collusion between the Demos and their media propagandists was, in large measure, responsible for their victory in the 2018 midterm elections — ironic because it ensured that Vladimir Putin did influence our elections.

Additionally, the Demos’ “Hate Trump” platform has emboldened new socialist cadres and boosted socialist protagonist commie-Bernie Sanders to the front of the 2020 pack. But they are deeply concerned about their 2020 presidential prospects under the current “antiquated constitutional system” that only allows U.S. citizens to vote and requires a majority of electoral votes state-by-state to determine a presidential victory.

The old FDR model for buying elections — redistributing wealth and entitlements in exchange for votes — didn’t work in 2016, when a substantial number of blue-collar “deplorables” defected from Clinton to Trump, from Democrat to Republican. Democrats now worry that these deplorables are even more firmly in the Trump camp than ever and that the Electoral College is somehow rigged against them.

So, what’s a Demo to do?

Since they’re concerned about their ability to defeat Trump under the current rules — even given their feigned threats of impeachment and the economic instability that creates — their solution is much more radical.

Democrats are in the process of changing election rules, which will virtually guarantee them majority rule in the near future.

And make no mistake — the leftists at the head of the Demo-dragon are pulling out all the stops to enact those rule changes, thereby “transforming” our Constitutional Republic into a mob-rule democracy. Of course, Democrat initiatives are never bridled by the Constitution or the antiquated notion of Rule of Law, opting instead for the rule of men.

Here is the lineup of the Democrats’ nine strategic objectives to purge the Constitution from our electoral process and ensure their perpetual majority: 1) resist attempts to secure our southern border and thereby allow illegal immigrants to flood the country; 2) give illegals voting rights; 3) oppose voter-ID requirements; 4) rig the census so that illegals are counted as U.S. citizens and districts can be redrawn accordingly; 5) lower the voting age to introduce a younger, more ignorant, and more impressionable demographic; 6) centralize elections so the outcome can more easily be rigged; 7) give statehood to overwhelmingly Democratic Puerto Rico and Washington, DC; 8) abolish the constitutionally mandated Electoral College; and finally, 9) pack the Supreme Court with additional justices to make sure their plan for a permanent Democrat majority faces no legal hurdles.

Democrats clearly want to open our southern border and extend voting rights to all the illegal immigrants who have poured, and continue to pour, across that border, knowing that these poor, low-skilled immigrants are overwhelmingly predisposed to their welfare-state policies. At the same time, Demos vehemently oppose voter-ID requirements in states that don’t allow illegal immigrants to vote.

If they’re successful at blocking citizenship questions on the 2020 U.S. Census, Democrats will be able to artificially inflate the population demographics of “sanctuary” cities and states to increase their districts and thus, increase their electoral votes.

Democrats are always endeavoring to dumb-down the electorate, and what better way to do that than reducing the voting age to 16? As Speaker Nancy Pulosi says, “I myself have always been for lowering the voting age to 16. I think it’s really important to capture kids when they’re in high school, when they’re interested in all of this, when they’re learning about government, to be able to vote.”

Of course, there hasn’t been a real civics class taught in a public high school for three decades, so this has nothing to do with engaging civic-minded young people and everything to do with mobilizing brainwashed minions.

Central to the Democrats’ efforts to expand their voter ranks was passage of HR1, the so-called For the People Act to “expand Americans’ access to the ballot box,” mostly by federalizing state and local elections. That bill provides for mass voter registrations, voting rights for illegal aliens, voting rights for convicted felons while in prison, and same-day voter registration — meaning no verification. It will sit in the House, however, until a Democrat Senate majority can be secured.

Of HR1, Investor’s Business Daily warns: “Far-left media advocates for the Democrats have benignly called the proposed new law ‘election reform,’ claimed it ‘could save American Democracy’ and characterized it as ‘a sweeping anti-corruption proposal.’ It is none of those things. Instead, H.R.1 is a shocking power grab on the part of the Democrats who seek to nationalize all elections so they can permanently silence the Red States that stand in their way. It does so by transferring most of the power over elections to the federal government, and taking it away from the states, as the Constitution requires.”

HR1 is so offensive to our Constitution that even the leftist American Civil Liberties Union opposed it, protesting that the bill would “unconstitutionally impinge on the free speech rights of American citizens and public interest organizations.”

As HR1 reached the House floor, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) noted that he “offered a motion to recommit #HR1 reaffirming that only US citizens should have the right to vote. Dems rejected it.” Thus, he said, “Next time you go to the ballot box, keep that in mind. The future of their party is in cities like San Fran, where illegals can vote. Let that sink in.”

Of course, creating states out of socioeconomically dependent jurisdictions or territories is a quick way to increase Democrat representation in the Senate, and that’s the objective of active and ongoing efforts to win statehood for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Last, and most insidious in terms of subverting our Constitution’s electoral mandate, is the effort to abolish the Electoral College — the method by which we’ve elected our presidents since 1789. Pursuant to Article II, Section 1, Clause 2, the legislature of each state determines the manner by which its electors are chosen. Democrats are well down the road to sabotaging the Electoral College by rigging how states cast their electoral votes.

According to Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren (D-MA), who is leading the 2020 candidates’ electoral-subterfuge movement, “Every vote matters and the way we can make that happen is that we can have national voting, and that means get rid of the Electoral College.”

Actually, the Electoral College ensures that every vote matters, and not just those in a few states with massive urban centers. What the Democrats are setting up is “Urbana versus America,” an effort to make sure that New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and a few other large and deeply Democrat metropolises dictate policy for the rest of the nation.

By way of review, in their timeless wisdom, our Founders ensured that a few states would not be able to exercise dominion over all the other states. Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 68, regarding “The Mode of Electing the President,” wrote about the brilliance of the Electoral College.

James Madison explained in Federalist No. 39, regarding “Conformity of the Plan to Republican Principles,” that our election system should be a combination of state-based and population-based selection. States would have a number of representatives in the House based on population, while each state would have two members in the Senate. And the president would be elected by a combined representation of state electors.

Additionally, in Federalist No. 10, regarding “Safeguard Against Domestic Faction and Insurrection,” James Madison outlined the danger of “an interested and overbearing majority” and the “mischiefs of faction,” which he defined as “a number of citizens whether amounting to a majority or minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adverse to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community.”

The number of electors in each state is, of course, equal to the total of each state’s Senate and House members. There are currently 100 senators and 435 representatives, plus three electors from the District of Columbia, for a combined total of 538 electors. Thus, when a presidential candidate reaches 270 electoral votes, he or she is the victor.

In recent decades, three presidents didn’t win a majority of votes but did win the Electoral College vote.

scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton failed to win a popular majority in either of his presidential victories, receiving just 43% in 1992 and 49% in 1996. In the 2000 election, neither George W. Bush nor scumbag-Albert Gore gained a popular majority of the votes, with Bush narrowly defeating Gore with 271 electoral votes.

Likewise, in 2016, neither scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump received a popular majority of votes, but Trump won where it mattered, trouncing scumbag/liar-Clinton 304 to 227 in the Electoral College.

If Democrats succeed in their National Popular Vote campaign to negate the Electoral College, however, they will ensure that a few large states control all the rest.

Wealthy leftists, including the likes of scumbag-George Soros and his archenemies of Liberty, are bankrolling the National Popular Vote movement.

According to the compact, states will award electors to whoever wins the national popular vote even if a majority of a member state’s voters supported another candidate. By definition, this goes against the stated purpose of the compact and Sen. dinky-Warren’s assertion that “every vote matters.”

The signatories to the NPV effort agree that it will take effect when there are enough states to reach 270 electoral votes. It currently has 181. The NPV has already been enacted into law in 15 states and jurisdictions, representing 189 electoral votes. Those include five smaller states (DE, HI, RI, VT) and DC; six medium-size states (CO, CT, MD, MA, NM, WA); and four of the nation’s largest states (CA, IL, NJ, NY).

While these Democrat-controlled states will likely not reach 270 by 2020, they will very likely reach that level by 2024. And they will weaponize the Federal Election Commission to ensure they do.

Finally, to ensure that all these measures to produce a permanent Democrat majority face no legal hurdles, leftists have renewed their call to pack the Supreme Court, as FDR endeavored to do under cover of the Great Depression.

In sum, the Democrats’ multiple-vector effort to change the rules is all about absolute power over principles, and their effort to abolish the Electoral College in particular has ominous implications for the future of Liberty.

As Founder John Adams wrote, “We should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our liberties if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections.”

That institutional infection is now epidemic.
