Medicare for All Means Private
Insurance for None

{ spectator.org } ~ Democrats won on the issue of healthcare in 2018 because they campaigned on protecting the coverage Americans possessed... For the 2020 presidential primaries, several Democrats run on taking away that coverage. “Let’s eliminate all of that,” lowlife-Kamala Harris says of private insurance. “Let’s move on.” Kirsten Gillibrand calls abolishing private insurance “an urgent goal.” “Under Medicare for all we cover all basic healthcare needs, so they’re not going to be there to do that,” commie-Bernie Sanders says of existing insurance companies. “I suppose if you want to make yourself look a little bit more beautiful, you want to work on that nose or your ears, they can do that.” The words strike as more reckless if more honest than “if you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it.” Medicare for All, as the fine print details, means private insurance for none. Pundits call this an “unforced error.” But that phrase does not fully grasp the dynamics involved in ideological compulsions. Some powerful, irresistible force moves these Democrats to remove their liberal masks to reveal Venezuelan-style socialists. They imagine their hatred for the president so near-universal as to make his defeat a fait accompli and enthusiasm for socialism such an unstoppable wave that they resolve to not just catch it first but to be seen catching it first.Democratic candidates call healthcare a right in mantra-like fashion. Gillibrand, for instance, insisted “health care must be a right, not a privilege” at the rally last week reintroducing the Medicare for All bill. But in what kind of a country do you get to exercise a right only through the government? Imagine if in affirming a right to free speech one added the caveat that one could communicate only through government-run publications, websites, and broadcast stations. Or, if the freedom of religion found expression only through the one true church established by the state. Or, if the right to transportation meant solely a ride on a smelly, sweaty city bus. This makes a farce of any sane understanding of rights, as does the notion of a “right” to healthcare exercised through insuring that nobody possesses the right to obtain healthcare save from the state. This all seems the stuff of Five Year Plans and Great Leaps Forward. Yet, five major presidential candidates — commie-Bernie Sanders, scumbag-Cory Booker, Elizabeth dinky-Warren, lowlife-Kamala Harris, and Kirsten Gillibrand — serve as sponsors in the Senate of the Medicare for All bill... If you buy into this you are a bigger fool then those socialist are.
9 Apocalyptic Lies Fed To Americans 
About The Republican Tax Bill

{/thefederalist.com} ~ Monday is the first Tax Day under the new Republican tax bill passed in December 2017, and the results are not what Democrats and their media apparatus predicted... Many Americans are discovering that they are not only alive and well, but indeed paying less taxes. As Ben Casselman and Jim Tankersley pointed out in The New York Times, there is a disparity between what Americans thought they would be paying the IRS this year, and what they actually paid. This myth, “appears to flow from a sustained — and misleading — effort by liberal opponents of the law to brand it as a broad middle-class tax increase.” What falsities did these liberal opponents tell the American people would happen pending the passing of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act? Here are a few of the most outrageous examples of fear-mongering.

1. 10,000 People Will Be Killed Every Year
Economist and former Treasury secretary Larry Summers wrote in a Washington Post op-ed that “the conclusion would follow that the tax bill would result in 10,000 extra deaths per year.” On CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” he explained why he thought the bill was “very dangerous.” “When people lose health insurance, they’re less likely to get preventive care, they’re more likely to defer health care they need, and ultimately they’re more likely to die,” he said.

2. The Tax Bill Is ‘Akin To Rape’
Bruce Bartlett, a writer and former Treasury official, said the bill would not create a single job, that Republicans want the poor to pay more taxes to force them to work more, and that the bill is “really akin to rape.”

3. ‘Armageddon’ and the Worst Legislation Ever 
4. Grad Students Will Have to Quit Doctorate Programs
5. America Is Dead
6. Republicans Want to Kick the Poor, Middle Class In the Face

The US Must Stop Iran's Takeover of Yemen

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ One of the primary revolutionary ideals to which the ruling clerics of the Islamic Republic of Iran are dedicated to upholding is not to limit the implementation of its version of Islamic laws to just Iran... The ruling clerics are also committed to exporting Iran's revolutionary principle and expanding the fundamentalist mission to other nations. How do they carry this out? By effectively taking over other countries. Lebanon,  through Iran's proxy Hizballah, was the first. Then came Syria, and finally, Iraq -- with the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip  waiting in the wings. With each victory, the ruling mullahs of Iran have grown increasingly lethal and increasingly bold. At present, and for several years, Iran has set its sights on Yemen. This is not a random or new philosophy. This mission is part of Iran's constitution. Its preamble states that it "provides the necessary basis for ensuring the continuation of the Revolution at home and abroad." The document goes on to say that Iran's Army and Revolutionary Guards "will be responsible not only for guarding and preserving the frontiers of the country, but also for fulfilling the ideological mission of Shiite jihad in God's way; that is, extending the sovereignty of God's Shiite law throughout the world ... in the hope that this century will witness the establishment of a universal holy government and the downfall of all others."...

The Moral Case For Israel Annexing 
The West Bank—And Beyond

{ thefederalist.com } ~ The April 2019 election victory for Benjamin Netanyahu will see him serve a record fifth term as Israeli prime minister and form a new right-wing coalition government... It also brings the promise of a commitment Netanyahu made to the nation during his campaign: That he would annex Jewish settlements in occupied Palestinian territories. Vowing to extend sovereignty without distinguishing between settlement blocks and the isolated settlements, Netanyahu promised not to transfer any sovereignty to the Palestinians. His victory in the elections will, hopefully, see the enactment of Netanyahu’s promise. Israel has the moral right to annex all of the West Bank even Area C for a plethora of reasons. Israel’s Mistake Was Allowing the Palestinian Pretense. Israel made an altruistic mistake toward the Palestinian people after the 1967 defensive war with Jordan. Rather than regard them as “war settlers” or refugees or, after legally occupying conquered territory, as “illegal occupants,” they made the Palestinian people their political and moral problem. After victory, the “war settlers” could have been seen as enemies of the state: supporters of the Fatah Palestine Liberation Organization Charter, which basically calls for the end of Jewry in the region. Under a malevolent and illiberal regime, they would have been regarded and treated as such, not as Israel did treat them: as human beings with specific, inalienable rights. Under a different set of political sensibilities, the Palestinian people would have been militarily removed from the area because, morally speaking, after the 1967 war, they never belonged there. The proper response from Israel should have been to immediately annex the land and make the people there the responsibility of their original political homeland: Jordan...

European Trade Channel with Iran May be 
Used to Circumvent Russia Sanctions 
by Matthew Zweig 

{ fdd.org } ~  Britain, France, and Germany launched a special trade channel in January that aims to facilitate European business with Iran in a manner not susceptible to U.S. sanctions... The channel has not been used much, for fear of U.S. sanctions and other corporate risk. However, there is a growing likelihood that the EU could use this trade channel, or develop one like it, to circumvent U.S. sanctions against Russia. The Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX) for promoting trade with Iran was the European response to the U.S.’s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran. The instrument uses a barter system to provide Iran financial inducements to ensure that it does not also exit the nuclear deal. But INSTEX faces significant  obstacles, such as mandatory reporting on Iran-related transactions for any company listed on the U.S. stock exchange. The EU’s use of the INSTEX or a similar mechanism may now also be used to circumvent U.S. bilateral and secondary sanctions on Russia. The flashpoint will likely be Nord Stream 2, a natural gas pipeline project criticized by both the Trump administration and many U.S. legislators that would deliver Russian natural gas to Germany directly via the Baltic Sea. While the United States and EU coordinated on most Ukraine-related sanctions on Russia, U.S. sanctions against Russia in the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act of 2017 (CAATSA) has resulted in a divergence of views and approaches. CAATSA dramatically strengthened the U.S. sanctions architecture, mandating secondary sanctions against anyone that does business with a sanctioned entity. This put European companies with considerable Russia exposure in the crosshairs...

Roger Helle:  I have to say, I was somewhat troubled when I heard that in just 10 years, life as we know it is going to end … or something. When I listened to the explanation of what we needed to do to save the world, I was even more concerned.

I guess my problem is, being older and still having my faculties, I seem to remember in the 1970s Time  magazine had an article about the coming Ice Age. Still waiting! In 2008, scumbag-Al Gore predicted that because of global warming the East Coast would be under water in 10 years. Wait — that would have been 2018. I was in New York City in January and it “seemed” to be okay.

Several years ago, the ice pack in Antarctica was not shrinking but growing — at a rate of 100 billion tons per year. Wow! Billions? That seems like a lot, but I’m no expert; I could be missing something. I don’t know where you live, but I’m happy if the weatherman gets it right for the upcoming weekend. Yet we have experts telling us what will happen in 100 years. Now it’s down to only 10 years.

I am amazed at how much commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez learned while working as a bartender. She must have really studied at her job. Her degree was in economics and international relations. We’re told “climate change” is settled science. I was in school before Time  predicted the coming Ice Age and I was told that science is never settled, because we are always learning new things.

But I want to keep an open mind, so I looked into what we need to do. I have to say, I will miss hamburgers. I know cows fart a lot (I’m a senior citizen, so I relate) but still, no burgers? No more air travel? No planes? Well, no planes for most of us. The really smart people will still need to get around and we can’t fault them for that, can we?

I will look forward to having my home rebuilt to be energy efficient, I guess. Will I have to pay for it or will the government do it? As all of us have to do that, seems like that could be expensive. But if that is what we need to do, I guess I will just have to get with the program.

Electricity is going to be pretty hard to get when all we have is wind and solar power. I mean, I live in the South, but we don’t have wind like when I lived in Nebraska! We have sunshine, so that may work … some days. France’s nuclear plants produce nearly 70% of that country’s power. Wow! I mean if the French can do that, we surely can. Wait, that’s not allowed either; no nuclear plants.

The proponents of the Green New Deal really care for us. Trust them! Just give them everything we have and they will see that it happens. There is one thing of some concern. It seems we are the only country that is supposed to destroy our economy and way of life to save the world. What about the rest of the world? What will they do?

We could totally destroy our economy, the greatest and freest in the world, and it will make no difference if other nations do nothing. Has Congresswoman commie-Ocasio-Cortez floated this by Russia, China, India, and most of Africa? I’m not hearing anything. Those nations alone would completely eliminate any change we “might” make; especially when we do not have conclusive proof that humans can change the weather on this planet.

Congresswoman, get some buy-in from these other nations and get back to us!

Footnote Highlights Corruption of 
dirty cop-Mueller’s FBI Investigative Team
OLPGJNXGkcS9-u9K-pTaB_O_cP5xT8joNfbljycAkBL4U-lzML3EQCjC6120uF0Mq-anpFsqXBAUqOJkMOBYnYHzAhwDMtgrUcFg_m3GJ7YGXY0p5wbPkzrDwyEb_psFK0R3wGvHQfeoemI4EwBX=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710xby sundance
{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Margot Cleveland has an interesting article in The Federalist today outlining how the DOJ dirty cop-Mueller investigation of Christopher Steele was dropped... Essentially the article outlines how Lindsey Graham and Chuck Grassley sent a criminal referral of Chris Steele to Rosenstein/dirty cop-Mueller in January 2018; however the case was used as a shield to ward-off FOIA inquiry, but the case was never actually pursued – and eventually dropped. At the time of the 2018 referral CTH noted the Grassley/Graham referral was not what it appeared. Additionally, with hindsight and a greater understanding of the dirty cop-Mueller team corruption, we can see how this specific referral hits the center of the FBI intent around their Russia collusion-conspiracy. The issue surrounds the October 2016 Carter Page FISA application and how the Steele Dossier was used therein. When the stories first broke about the Steele Dossier being the majority of the FBI evidence (December 2017), the FBI investigators were claiming they were never aware of Chris Steele shopping his dossier to the media. However, at the same time Glenn Simpson was testifying to congress that the FBI knew Chris Steele was shopping the dossier. The need for everyone to see what Fusion-GPS Glenn Simpson was saying is the reason why Dianne Fein-stein “accidentally” released the Simpson transcript (remember, she had a cold). Fein-stein released the transcript five days after the Graham/Grassley referral. Democrats knew everyone needed to be on the same page and reading from the same manuscript. I digress…Also remember, dirty cop-Robert Mueller took over the counterintelligence investigation; so the FBI investigators from Crossfire Hurricane (2016) were now the same “40 FBI investigators” on dirty cop-Mueller’s team in 2017...

{ thefederalist.com } ~ When Attorney General William Barr acknowledged the Donald Trump campaign was spied on in 2016 by agencies investigating a dramatic conspiracy theory about alleged collusion with Russia... and said he’d like to review the matter, those who pushed the theory began to panic. Some media figures attempted to deny that spying had occurred, even though it had been revealed in various and sundry ways. They conceded that overseas intelligence assets had been placed against the campaign, that wiretaps had been secured, and that national security letters had been drafted, but they claimed these examples of spying were not spying. That they’d regularly and repeatedly referred to them as spying in non-Trump contexts slowed them down not at all. Some tried to pretend that the only example of spying was the surveillance of Carter Page, but that it didn’t count because he’d left the campaign before the surveillance began. There were a few problems, including that wiretaps can be used to secure information from months and years prior to the date it is obtained. Besides, Page had encounters with an overseas U.S. intelligence asset while he was still on the campaign. So had other campaign affiliates. The media had previously reported that four Trump affiliates had been spied on secretly surveilled: Page, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, and Mike Flynn. It is unclear what other American citizens on the Trump campaign, if anyone, were spied on by their government. Last Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” a quintet of pundits sputtered about Barr’s description. Barr specifically said he was not saying anything improper had definitively happened, just that it needed to be reviewed since spying on American citizens was such a serious thing. “Spying did occur. Yes, I think spying did occur. The question is whether it was predicated, adequately predicated,” he said...   https://thefederalist.com/2019/04/16/no-joe-scarborough-spying-on-trump-wasnt-done-by-the-book/

Comment That Cutting US Aid to Israel

by algemeiner.com:  Freshman Congresswoman commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) asserted in a media interview over the weekend that cutting military and economic aid to Israel should be “on the table.”... “I think it is certainly on the table. I think it’s something that can be discussed,” the prominent progressiver lawmaker said on Yahoo’s “Skullduggery” podcast on Sunday. commie-Ocasio-Cortez said that newly re-elected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s pledge to annex territory in the West Bank should be opposed by the US government. She also criticized Netanyahu as a “Trump-like figure.” “I think these are part of conversations we are having in our caucus, but I think what we are really seeing is an ascent of authoritarianism across the world,” she said.The Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) on Monday strongly criticized commie-Ocasio-Cortez for her comments. “We are pleased commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recognizes she is NOT a leader on Israel in Congress,” the group said in a statement. “We recommend she engage with Dem leaders Eliot Engel, Nita Lowey, & Ted Deutch before contemplating the future of US military aid to Israel.” The JDCA emphasized US-Israel ties “must supersede politics.”...

{ foxnews.com } ~ Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan on Monday designated Customs and Border Protection Chief Operating Officer John Sanders as acting CBP commissioner... filling McAleenan's former post in the latest staffing shake-up at the Department of Homeland Security. McAleenan, who was appointed acting DHS secretary following the resignation of Kirstjen Nielsen April 7, designated Sanders to take over “as the senior official performing the functions and duties of the commissioner” of CBP. “John Sanders has proven instrumental to advancing CBP’s mission and organizational priorities across the agency,” McAleenan said in a statement. “In addition to bringing greater focus on the agency’s operational requirements, he has provided strategic direction and oversight to critical enterprise services and operations support functions across the agency.” He added: “With John Sanders’ leadership, CBP will continue to excel, remain ever vigilant, and accomplish the mission with steadfast resolve.” Monday's announcement caps a turbulent week for DHS. Last Sunday, President Trump announced  Nielsen would resign from her post and be replaced with McAleenan. But Nielsen’s resignation was only the beginning. By last Monday, U.S. Secret Service Director Randolph ‘Tex’ Alles stepped down from his post after he was told to “prepare an exit plan,” in a signal, almost two weeks ago, that a transition in leadership at DHS was imminent...   https://www.foxnews.com/politics/acting-dhs-secretary-mcaleenan-designates-new-acting-cbp-commissioner-in-latest-agency-staffing-shake-up

{ independentsentinel.com } ~ The Center for American Progress (CAP) and Think Progress (CAP’s political action wing) are indelibly linked together and to the scumbag/liar-Clintons through funding, origins, like goals and tactics... They’re tied by blood as smear machines knocking off candidates as they decide who will be President by any means necessary. commie-Bernie Sanders is in their sights. The New York Times mysteriously obtained a letter   that commie-Bernie Sanders sent CAP and TP accusing them of orchestrating attacks on him and two other 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, Elizabeth dinky-Warren, and scumbag-Cory Booker. He wants it to stop as he insists they are dividing the party and lessening Democrat chances of winning in 2020. “Center for American Progress leader Neera Tanden repeatedly calls for unity while simultaneously maligning my staff and supporters and belittling progressive ideas,” commie-Sanders wrote, adding: “I and other Democratic candidates are running campaigns based on principles and ideas and not engaging in mudslinging or personal attacks on each other. Meanwhile, the Center for American Progress is using its resources to smear Senator scumbag-Booker, Senator dinky-Warren, and myself, among others. This is hardly the way to build unity, or to win the general election.” It’s not that CAP and TP are any less left, it’s that they believe the country will more likely vote for the candidate who is less honest about how left they are and appears more mainstream...

Brian Mark Weber:  The Left is still stinging from Donald Trump’s 2016 victory, made possible by blue-collar Democrats in states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. These voters took a chance on a wealthy New York businessman who spoke their language, and he rewarded them by fighting to stop the outsourcing of American jobs and to reverse decades of industrial decline.

Heading into the 2020 campaign, two conditions might keep those same voters in Trump’s corner. First is the fact that unemployment has reached a record low, and some segments of America’s industrial base have begun to recover. Second is the very real threat that many workers feel from wave after wave of (illegal) immigrants who compete for their jobs and drive down their wages.

So what’s a Democrat to do when union workers start voting Republican? commie-Bernie Sanders has a plan, and it’s all about restricting their freedom by trashing all right-to-work laws.

But let’s take a step back and see how we got to this point.

In the wake of last year’s Janus v. AFSCME ruling, workers who weren’t members of a union no longer had to fork over fees for collective bargaining and other expenses unless they voluntarily chose to do so. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito concluded that forcing workers to pay union dues “violates the First Amendment and cannot continue.” Moreover, he wrote, “Neither an agency fee nor any other payment to the union may be deducted from a non-member’s wages, nor may any other attempt be made to collect such a payment, unless the employee affirmatively consents to pay.”

Fast forward one year. If unions had been providing these workers with so many benefits in return for their mandatory fees, they’d still remain members even after the Janus ruling, right?

Instead, they left in droves.

Hot Air’s Jazz Shaw asks, “What did anyone really expect? If those non-members were fully in support of the unions and didn’t object to kicking in for their political efforts they’d already be members of the union. If they agreed with all of the blatantly partisan political shenanigans the unions are constantly up to, they likely wouldn’t have minded kicking in toward the cause. Anyone shocked by these numbers really needs to pull their heads out of the sand.”

And the numbers don’t look good for unions. CBS News reported earlier this year that union membership in the U.S. hit a record low in 2018.

Of course, these unions have only themselves to blame. Even those who generally oppose what unions have become today have no issue with the principles of safe working conditions and good wages. But many of the issues that led to the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, which gave employees the right to organize into labor unions and bargain with employers, have been resolved over the years. For example, we now have the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Consequently, unions have become little more than Democrat Party political machines, often forcing workers to fork over their hard-earned money to support issues they oppose. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, labor unions gave nearly $60 million to the Democrat Party in the 2016 election cycle. No wonder those who oppose right-to-work laws seem to care so little for the constitutional rights of workers. Instead, what they’re really upset about is how the Janus ruling has eroded their membership rolls and balance sheets – so much so that union-backed Democrats are desperate to stop the bleeding.

Unfortunately for these unions, they have very little to offer potential members. As Stacey Lennox notes at The Resurgent, unions have become “far less effective in negotiating wages and benefits.” She adds, “Most members of industrial unions contribute to their health insurance. Pensions have been converted to 401K’s. And annual salary increases do not exceed the market. Unions also cannot prevent job loss. All they can do is bargain the effects, or what laid-off workers will be entitled to in severance and other items.”

Which brings us back to commie-Bernie Sanders, who wants to abolish right-to-work laws at the federal level. Zack Budryk writes, “commie-Sanders said as president he would push legislation in Congress to prohibit the laws. Right-to-work laws bar unionized workplaces from negotiating contracts under which all members who benefit from the contract must contribute dues. Twenty-six states currently have right-to-work laws on the books.”

What to make of all this? Maybe unions should go back to the basics of fighting for the needs of workers instead of stealing their wages on behalf of the Democrat Party. If not, the Republican Party will be more than happy to welcome them aboard.  ~The Patriot Post

Media Editors:  HISTORY CHARRED: “The famed Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was engulfed in flames on Monday leading to the collapse of the structure’s main spire,” according to Fox News. “The intense flames leaped out from two of its bell towers minutes before the spire collapsed, and later spread to one of the cathedral’s iconic rectangular towers. However, the main structure of the cathedral remained intact, the Paris fire chief said, adding that the blaze was stopped from spreading to the northern belfry.” More lucidly, however, the fire is an important metaphor for Western Christianity.

BILL WELD’S MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: “Former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld announced Monday that he will mount a Republican primary challenge against incumbent Donald Trump. … Weld’s first foray into national politics came in [the 2016 election], when he served as libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson’s running mate. Johnson and Weld ended up capturing just 3.6 percent of the popular vote after a devastating gaffe in which Johnson admitted he was not aware of the existence of the Syrian city of Aleppo, where intense sectarian fighting was then taking place.” (National Review)

commie-SANDERS KEEPS THE WEALTH: The Washington Post reports, “Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders, who has made income inequality a hallmark of his presidential campaign, earned with his wife about $566,000 last year and $1.15 million in 2017, putting them in the nation’s highest income brackets. … commie-Sanders’s annual Senate salary is $174,000. Much of his income came from books he has written about his democratic socialist platform, which includes a call for higher taxes on the wealthiest Americans. … The commie-Sanders campaign said in a news release that he paid a 26 percent effective tax rate in 2018.” Meanwhile, according to NBC News, “The Patriotic Millionaires, a group of about 200 wealthy individuals … say they should be taxed more, and as soon as possible.” Neither commie-Sanders nor the Patriotic Millionaires are prohibited from writing bigger checks to the IRS.

At the same time, 80 percent of all income taxes paid that year were paid by tax return filers who had adjusted gross incomes of $100,000 or more.” (CNS News)

A BLIND SQUIRREL FINDS A NUT: “Socialist Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced on Sunday that she is no longer using Facebook and is cutting back on all social media for health reasons associated with being too engaged with social media,” the The Daily Wire reveals. ‘I actually think that social media poses a public health risk to everybody,’ commie-Ocasio-Cortez said. ‘There are amplified impacts for young people, particularly children under the age of 3 with screen time. But I think it has a lot of effects on older people. I think it has effects on everybody. Increased isolation, depression, anxiety, addiction, escapism.’“ Ironically, firebrands like commie-AOC are an important component behind social media’s devolving into a toxic morass.

SWEET RECOMPENSE? "Philadelphia’s soda tax is barely two years old, but many local lawmakers are saying they’ve seen enough. … Maria Quiñones-Sánchez, a member of Philadelphia’s city council, introduced a bill last month that would phase out and potentially eliminate the soda tax. … Philadelphia’s soda tax, which imposed a 1.5-cent-per-ounce levy on sweetened drinks, raised $79 million in its first year. … While that $79 million sounds great, in fact, the tax lagged projections by about 17 percent. Apparently, pennywise consumers with the means to do so don’t mind shopping outside the city for soda (and when they do, they take other shopping business with them). This leaves the bulk of the tax to be paid by the city’s lower-income population.” (Foundation for Economic Education)

{ jpost.com } ~ Satellite images released by the Israeli intelligence firm ImageSat International (ISI) on Sunday showed the complete destruction of a possible Iranian surface-to-surface missile factory in Syria’s Masyaf District... allegedly struck by Israel on Saturday. “The main industrial structures were completely destroyed, including the main hangar and the adjacent three production hangers and buildings. The rest of the structures were affected and damaged by the blast,” ISI said, adding that they “assess that all the elements and/or equipment which were inside are completely destroyed as well.”  According to ISI, “if the bombed site was indeed a missile factory, it could allow for the production and assembly of different SSM surface-to-surface missile elements or for improving the accuracy of missiles.” The factory, ISI said, is located in the vicinity of other facilities likely linked to Iran’s SSM project in Syria, which have previously been struck in alleged Israeli strikes carried out over the past two years. The factory was built in the western compound of the base between 2014 and 2016, and was surrounded by a wall to separate it from the rest of the military base. The entrance to the factory passes through the base. “It is possible that the location of the factory inside what looks like a regular military base was chosen in order to camouflage its real purpose,” ISI said. While ISI wrote, “It is unclear which entity controls and owns the base” – the Syrian army, Iran or militias – if the factory allegedly attacked by Israel was “indeed controlled by Iran, it is probable that the eastern part of the base is controlled by them.”...

{ .gatestoneinstitute.org} ~  The European Union, in an unfathomable move, has been taking the side of the Iranian government, and turning its back on its old transatlantic partner, the United States... which recently announced plans to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO), reportedly to take effect this week. The Trump administration has taken a tougher stance towards Iran's dark and hegemonic ambitions. Meanwhile, despite Iran's destructive behavior, such as support for terror and militia groups across the region, the European Union has chosen to help the ruling mullahs of Iran, ostensibly to maintain the flimsy, illegal, never-signed, unratified "nuclear deal" -- but possibly even more as an embarrassingly transparent attempt, if the EU could be embarrassed, to navigate around US economic and political pressure and continue doing business with Iran's regime. This loyalty to a tyranny has taken place has despite terror and assassination  plots that Iran has brought to the EU since the establishment of the nuclear deal, such as several political assassination attempts committed in the EU by Iran's agents. One evening in November 2017, as Ahmad Mola Nissi returned to his home in The Hague, an assassin gunned him down at his front door. The 52-year-old Dutch citizen of Iranian origin had been a critic of the Iranian government and prominent figure in the Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahvaz. He had fought for the safety and liberation of others and was gunned down where he should have felt the safest. The Dutch authorities publicly announced for the first time that it had "strong indications" the Iranian government had commissioned the murder... Why is EU being so stupid.  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14027/eu-appeasing-iran

{ breitbart.com } ~ Sanctuary cities across the United States are responding to President Donald Trump’s threat to bus border crossers and illegal aliens to their jurisdictions... saying they plan to welcome all illegal immigration with “open arms” despite soaring homelessness problems. Last week, Trump threatened to bus border crossers and illegal aliens into sanctuary cities and states, like California and New York City, if the country’s asylum laws were not changed. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Sunday confirmed that the White House is considering the plan.“The USA has the absolute legal right to have apprehended illegal immigrants transferred to Sanctuary Cities,” Trump posted on Twitter over the weekend. “We hereby demand that they be taken care of at the highest level, especially by the State of California, which is well known or it’s poor management & high taxes!” Sanctuary city mayors like Oakland, California, Mayor Libby Schaaf have responded to Trump’s threat by saying they plan to welcome any and all illegal aliens to their cities — even those cities that are struggling with rising homelessness. Currently, there are nearly 38,000 homeless American veterans across the country. “Oakland welcomes all, no matter where you came from or how you got here,” Schaaf wrote on Twitter...

{ dailysignal.com } ~ It’s nice to have more money in your pocket. And thanks to the 2017 tax cuts, the typical American is now paying less in taxes... But that’s not to say we’re not still sending a hefty sum of money to Washington. Tally up all the payroll and other taxes on earnings and income, and you’ll find that the average American household forks over more than $26,000 to the feds each year. Last year, Washington collected more than $3.3 trillion in taxes. So where exactly does all that money go? Some believe most of it goes to foreign aid and defense. Others think corporate subsidies dominate the budget. In reality, health entitlements—Medicare, Medicaid, scumbag/liar-nObamacare—and Social Security are the largest and fastest growing programs. Unless Congress fixes these four programs, they—and the ever-growing interest payments on the national debt—will consume every dollar of taxes paid by 2041. That leaves no money for anything else. Uncle Sam couldn’t spend a penny on defense, food assistance, highways, or education without driving the country further into debt. Right now, Medicare, Medicaid, and scumbag/liar-nObamacare subsidies account for more than a quarter (28.8%) of all federal spending. Ten years from now, they’re projected to gobble up more than a third of the budget. Meanwhile, Social Security, the single largest federal program, accounts for roughly a quarter of all federal spending all by itself. Its trust funds already pay out more than they take in, and its finances will only deteriorate faster as more and more boomers retire...   https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/04/14/in-1-chart-how-your-taxes-are-spent/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTkRFelpXWTNZVEV3TkRaaiIsInQiOiJnYzRXZzdcLzB0bEFRcTFXRUoyRHRYZGprWXNBYTRGVWkzOVB4OW5YcTA5aFRaVFZnXC8ybTNVWTZuXC8xQXQ2VnpSMGVxVks4MFpsXC90ckU5SUYySWJXTE5kaE1Ld0p5XC9JK2pEVXdFTDVJNnlvNVcwcTRNK21PQ3lXYlwvSzhtQkJ1OCJ9

The 'MAGA Bomber' Hoaxer — Guilty
rM0JUfzIw5t6In3bWGPF8xR3wmpAIQap3WtntewiUSOmJnnKK_w9KWAgiHDmHJhRj11BUI0WiQMIYmGaDjdmnH9rym5jSZ3iBDsJb_u6sMz6SxIsa1IR6oslSoQgADYanvPzlYf6e2zAbcdqbfXE_5PHjtVu1F5A9dHbsLs=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710xMark Alexander:  Six months ago (two weeks before the 2018 midterm) there was wall-to-wall headline saturation about the “MAGA Bomber.” But you may have missed the news about the perpetrator’s plea a few weeks ago, as it received little attention.

Last October, with all the Democrat Party and Leftmedia propagandist political guns firing relentless salvos against Donald Trump and his congressional Republicans, “bombs” started showing up in the mail of notable leftists and their media outlets.

At the time, I wrote that the devices appeared to be inert — fake bombs, a hoax. I noted, “If a bomb was designed for detonation upon opening, it would have a very different triggering mechanism — like those sent by leftist Theodore John Kaczynski, a.k.a. the ‘Unabomber,’ who actually killed people.”

I also wrote then, and want to emphasize now, “To be clear, whether or not these devices were intended to detonate or disrupt, this is, by definition, an act of terrorism.”

As it was quickly discovered, this hoax was perpetrated by a bankrupt, homeless sociopath with a long criminal history, who was living in a van plastered with pro-Trump and anti-Democrat stickers. He was arrested within days of the first devices being discovered, and at a press conference, FBI Director Chris Wray reported that the devices contained “energetic material that can become combustible when subjected to heat or friction” — actually, as we know now, scrapings from common fireworks sparklers. Wray declared these were not “not hoax devices.”

However, based on all the evidence I have seen (which is not all the evidence), and moreover the perspective of knowledgeable sources with whom I have spoken, these devices were obviously constructed by an amateur hoaxer. The perp did not intend for the devices to detonate. They were clearly not designed nor did they have the ability to detonate, and the only way they would have caught fire is if the recipient had put a match to the material — just as a match is used to light a sparkler.

A week after the Wray’s comments, I confirmed that, within 24 hours of the packages being received, federal investigators briefed key members of Congress and indicated the “bombs” were inert. But it was curious that those federal officials did not advise the public that the bombs were a hoax, though perhaps they did not want to say that in the event that there were real devices that had not yet been received.

Of course, this incident provided a pre-election opening for the leftist collective chorus to claim Trump was responsible for this hate crime, when in fact, it is Democrats whose entire rhetorical platform is based on fear, anger, and hate. Despite the perpetrator being labeled the “MAGA Bomber,” the irony is that it’s Democrats who are bombing efforts to make America great again!

Late last month, the hoax perp pled guilty to charges related to sending the packages by mail, telling the U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff, “I knew these actions were wrong. I’m extremely sorry.” Asked by the judge, “Did you intend they would explode?” the perp responded, “No, sir. … The devices would have never exploded or worked. The fireworks were sparkler type.”

According to Geoffrey Berman, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, “For five days in October 2018, Cesar Sayoc rained terror across the country, sending high-ranking officials and former elected leaders explosive packages through the mail.” Coincidentally, that is the same District that is still pursuing Trump, alleging campaign-finance violations — the Democrats’ last fodder for impeachment.

However, from all information I have been able to review, the packages contained hoax devices sent by a lunatic. Again, let me reiterate that sending these packages, regardless of the fact they were never designed, intended, or capable of detonation and harm still constitutes an act of terrorism. But the fact that the FBI never cleaned up Wray’s claims about these devices is, to say the least, unprofessional.

To put this into perspective, consider the case of the deranged commie-Bernie Sanders supporter, an scumbag/liar-nObama “99%"er from Illinois, who attempted the mass murder of congressional Republicans in June 2017. Had he used blanks, that hoax would have deserved universal condemnation and criminal charges, but within 24 hours, the story would have been out of the Demo-MSM headlines — because the perp was a leftist. However, he used live ammunition and intended to kill many Republicans that day — and would have succeeded if there had not been good guys with guns who stopped his assault.

Notably, that assailant almost killed then-House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA). Ironically, just prior to the bomb hoax incidents last October, Scalise issued a warning about uncivil rhetoric, saying, "In America, we win battles at the ballot box, not through mob rule or intimidation. While it’s clear many Democrats refuse to accept the election of President Trump, if they want change, they need to convince people with their ideas and actually win elections, rather than call for violent resistance, harassment, and mob rule.”  ~The Patriot Post

Will Trump’s “Tax Returns” Issue

{ thenewamerican.com } ~ Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin sees this is a blatant prevarication: “The implications of Neal’s demands are way beyond … a congressional oversight issue... The issue is that … the IRS does not become weaponized like it was under the Nixon administration.” Trump lawyer William Consovoy saw through Neal’s smokescreen as well. In writing to the General Counsel at the Treasury Department, Consovoy said: I write to explain why Chairman Neal cannot legally request – and the IRS cannot legally divulge – this information…. Chairman Neal’s request flouts … fundamental constitutional constraints. The Ways and Means Committee has no legitimate committee purpose for requesting the President’s tax returns or return information. While the committee has jurisdiction over taxes, it has no power to conduct its own examination of individual taxpayers’ [returns]….Even if Ways and Means had a legitimate committee purpose for requesting the President’s tax returns and return information, that purpose is not driving Chairman Neal’s request. His request is a transparent effort by one political party to harass an official from the other party because they dislike his politics and speech. Chairman Neal wants the President’s tax returns and return information because his party recently gained control of the House, the President 1s their political opponent, and they want to use the information to damage him politically. It is no secret that a vocal wing of the Chairman’s party has been clamoring for the President’s tax returns since before the 2016 election. And it is no coincidence that Chairman Neal made his request just days after prominent Democratic constituencies began publicly criticizing the House for its failure to go after the President…. If Chairman Neal genuinely wants to review how the IRS audits Presidents, why is he seeking tax returns and return information covering the four years before President Trump took office? Why is he not requesting information about the audits of previous Presidents. And if he’s so upset about the president claiming, “I would love to give them but I’m not going to do it while I’m under audit,” why doesn’t Neal himself reveal his own tax returns? Wrote Consovoy: “After all, nearly 90% of House Democrats requesting Trump’s personal and business tax returns have insisted on keeping their own tax returns private, including Speaker Pulosi, Senator scumbag-Schumer, Representative Nadler, Representative scumbag-Schiff, and Representative Neal himself.”...   https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/32012-will-trump-s-tax-returns-issue-turn-out-to-be-mueller-2-0?vsmaid=4230&vcid=3421

{ investigativeproject.org } ~ In Saturday's early hours, when the attention of most Israelis was focused on politics and elections-related matters, enormous blasts rocked a suspected Iranian surface-to-surface missile factory on the outskirts of the town of Masyaf in northwest Syria... Satellite imagery showed that an entire complex had been destroyed in the bombing. International media reports attributed the attack to the Israel Air Force, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking a day afterwards, stated that "We are continuing to operate on all fronts, including the northern one." He added, "We are not prepared to allow someone to entrench themselves in a way that endangers Israel." Netanyahu has pursued a policy of ordering preventative military action to stop Iran's military build-up in Syria. The incident is a reminder that Iran and its radical terrorist axis are continuing to try and build up their military-terrorist attack capabilities against Israel in Syria, just as they are in other areas. Assuming Israel was indeed behind the Masyaf attack, it likely responded to urgent intelligence of threatening activity at the site – possibly the conversion of rockets into precision ballistic missiles – a threat Israel has declared repeatedly that it would not tolerate. It is also possible that Iran's Islamic Republic Guards Corps (IRGC) tried to take advantage of the fact that Israel is in between governments, testing Jerusalem's ability to order decisive military preventative strikes during a sensitive political time in the country...

{ foxnews.com } ~ A massive fire engulfed the roof at the famed Notre Dame cathedral in Paris on Monday afternoon, collapsing the main spire in the blaze... The intense flames leaped out from two of its bell towers minutes before the spire collapsed. A church spokesman told French media that all of Notre Dame cathedral's frame is burning after the spire collapsed. Dramatic video showed black smoke billowing out from the top of the cathedral as firefighters furiously worked to contain the flames. The sight stopped pedestrians in their tracks along the Seine River, which passes under the cathedral. A woman who only identifies herself as "Sun" online tweeted a 15-second clip of the blaze, claiming she was around the scene when the fire first started. "Omg it keeps getting bigger and bigger so fast, i'm leaving now but in case it catches up to the crowd um hi at least my last moments were in paris," she wrote in a Twitter thread...

Horrific Honor Killings in Phoenix

{ clarionproject.org } ~ A Muslim man in Arizona was arrested for four honor killings — his wife, two daughters and the man with whom he believed his wife was having an affair... According to Phoenix Police Sergeant Tommy Thompson, “Austin Smith said that the reason he shot these individuals is because in God’s eyes, it was all right for him to deal with someone in this manner who had been involved in adultery, extramarital affairs.” Smith also told police he killed his seven-year-old daughter because she was “weeping for the wicked.” According to court documents, he said spared his three-year old who was found hiding under a bed because she reminded him of himself. As in many cases of honor crimes, some will protest this was merely a case of domestic violence not withstanding the horrific nature of the crime. And in truth, what is the difference? Quite simply, even though we don’t know Smith’s psychological profile, we can surmise someone capable of killing his children in cold blood – not to mention his wife and her suspected lover – has to be deranged on a certain level. Yet, when we look at the underlying ideology that drove his behavior, we also have to conclude that believing that such actions are sanctioned by God is quite motivating. While Smith may be a convert to Islam, those steeped from birth in the honor culture indicative of many Muslim countries have taken in this ideology in a rational way – and when circumstances presented themselves, many have seen fit to act on it... Honor killing is not justifiable in the USA. He is not deranged and he knew what he was doing.   https://clarionproject.org/honor-killings-in-phoenix/?utm_source=Clarion+Project+Newsletter&utm_campaign=05432ab444-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_03_17_12_03_COPY_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_60abb35148-05432ab444-6442509&mc_cid=05432ab444&mc_eid=b83b13a9b5

Why Is It Called Easter?

{today.reframemedia.com} ~ Easter is the name of the most important Christian holiday, the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead after his crucifixion... The resurrection of Jesus resides at the very heart of the gospel: “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Cor. 15:3-4). But, why is this holiday called Easter? Where did the name Easter come from? Let’s shed some light on those questions.

Easter is an English word

The etymology of the English word Easter indicates that it descends from the Old German—likely from root words for dawn, east, and sunrise. English is a western Germanic language named for the Angles who, along with the Saxons (another Germanic tribe), settled Britain in the 5th century. In fact, the Old German for Easter was Oster (Ostern in the modern). English and German speakers have been using variations of the term Easter for over a millennium. However, most of the countries surrounding Britain and the German principalities of Europe have long used variants of the Latin Pascha (from the Greek for Passover, a transliteration of the Hebrew pesach) as the name of the celebration of Christ’s resurrection. Today, in many non-English speaking countries, Easter is still called by a name derived from the term Pashca. A number of other languages use a term that means Resurrection Feast or Great Day. Only English and German speaking countries use the terms Easter or Ostern.

Does the name Easter have pagan roots?

Does the name Easter really have pagan roots? That’s a common question. Modern etymologies do trace easter to the name of an Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn, called Eostre. An English monk known as Venerable Bede (d. 735 AD) recorded the name of this goddess in his book The Reckoning of Time. Bede described a relationship between the name Eostre and the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus, which provides the strongest evidence that the name Easter may have pagan roots:

“Eosturmanath [April] has a name which is now translated ‘Paschal month,’ and which was once called after a goddess of theirs named Eostre, in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month. Now they designate that Paschal season by her name, calling the joys of the new rite by the time-honoured name of the old observance.”

Historians consider Bede a reliable primary source in Anglo-Saxon history. However, Bede’s mention of Eostre is the single instance of that name in the entire written record. Some have wondered if Bede was mistaken about the goddess. German historian, Jacob Grimm, writing in 1835 about German mythology, seemed to confirm Eostre of the Anglo-Saxons by linking her to an even older Germanic goddess named Ostra—for whom there existed even less direct evidence than Eostre—whose mythology he was trying to linguistically reconstruct:

“Ostarmânoth [April] is found as early as...[c. 800]. The great christian festival...bears in the oldest of [Old High German] remains [of] the name ôstarâ...This Ostrâ, like the [Anglo Saxon] Eâstre, must in the heathen religion have denoted a higher being, whose worship was so firmly rooted, that the christian teachers tolerated the name, and applied it to one of their own grandest anniversaries.”

In any case, if we assume Eostre and Ostra are the same mythological goddess, as Grimm suggested, she was ultimately named by a human. (Only the one, true God named himself; see Exodus 3:14.) So what came first, her name or the root words for her name? It is most likely that the root words for dawn, east, and sunrise existed before the name Eostre did, since it would be people, who possessed language, who would give the goddess a name and attribute to her the phenomena of the dawn and sunrise in the east. Interestingly, we mostly remember the name Eostre today primarily because of its apparent association with Easter. Yet, the name Easter has come to overwhelmingly signify the most important annual celebration of the Christian faith.

Perhaps there is a more elemental explanation for the English word, Easter. A scholar named Christian F. Cruse (1794-1865), best known for his translation of Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical History, which contains perhaps the earliest known reference to a Christian celebration of the resurrection, argued that Easter has etymological roots in the German word for resurrection. In a note concerning Easter, he wrote: “Our word Easter is of Saxon origin, and of precisely the same import with its German cognate Ostern. The latter is derived from the old Teutonic form of auferstehn, Auferstehung, i. e. Resurrection.”

Easter in early German and English Bible translations

How did the early Church handle the word Easter? Scholar Roger Patterson notes how early Bible translators like Martin Luther and William Tyndale went about translating Pascha (passover) into German and English, using forms of oster and ester respectively, most likely because of a root meaning of resurrection, just as Cruse noted. In his New Testament, Tyndale translated Luke 2:41 ester for passover, “And his father and mother went to Hierusalem every yeare at the feeste of ester.” Luther did likewise when he translated Luke 2:41 into German; he used the word “Osterfest.” Similarly, Tyndale translated passover lamb in a portion of 1 Corinthians 5:7: “For Christ oure esterlambe is offered up for us.” Luther used “Osterlamm.” Patterson observes, “It would seem from the translations of Luther and Tyndale that by 1500, the word oster/ester simply referred to the time of the Passover feast...Even if the word had an origin in [the name Eostre], the usage had changed to such a degree that Luther was comfortable referring to Christ as the Osterlamm.” It’s interesting to note that the English ester by 1611 had gained an a: the King James used the word Easter in Acts 12:4 to describe Passover after the resurrection of Christ. What’s clear is that these usages of the word ester/oster/Easter perceived no connection to pagan worship.

Our English word Easter possibly descends from the name of a pagan goddess. It is also quite possible that Easter evolved from Germanic words meaning dawn, east, and sunrise: words that may have had their own roots in the Old German word for resurrection. Luther’s and Tyndale’s use of Easter reinforce a long established affiliation of the term, not with pagan practices, but with the resurrection of Jesus, as our Passover lamb. Some Christians today feel more comfortable giving the holiday a different name, such as Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday. They are completely free to do that, just as others are free to go on calling the day Easter. What truly matters is that on that most significant of days, we celebrate that Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!

NY: No Aid for Children of Deceased War Vets, 
We’re Giving it All to Illegals
by totalconservative.com:  New York Assembly Democrats left no doubt as to where their loyalties lie this week. Last week, Democrats approved a state budget that would allocate $27 million in aid to illegal immigrants who wish to attend college... But when Republicans tried to expand that aid for the children of dead or disabled military veterans? The Higher Education Committee, led by Manhattan Democrat Deborah Glick, blocked the bill, effectively telling voters that it is more important to give tuition aid to illegal aliens than to the families of those who have given their lives for our nation. Her committee voted 15 to 11 to put the bill on ice, forever cementing the Democrats’ warped view of their priorities. According to the New York Post, Glick lamely insisted that there was no futher money in the budget to help Gold Star families send their kids to college. After all, there’s already a “program that provides $2.7 million to 145” such families. Wonderful. Illegal immigrants only get ten times more assistance from the New York state legislature. That sounds right, eh?“Assemblywoman Glick should be ashamed of herself,” said State Sen. Robert Ortt, a Republican. “We set aside $27 million dollars for college for people that are here illegally. Apparently, $2.7 million is all that the families of soldiers who are killed, get. If you’re a child of a fallen soldier, you do not rank as high and you know that by the money.” Apparently getting a sense of how this situation looks, one Democratic assemblywoman decided to vote for the bill. Judy Griffin said she thinks Democrats will take a closer look at the proposal when the budget comes up for a vote again next year... The government should stop giving aid to NY until they get wise.   http://totalconservative.com/ny-no-aid-for-children-of-deceased-war-vets-were-giving-it-all-to-illegals/

Five arguments the 
dirty cop-Mueller report won't settle

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Attorney General William Barr has promised to release a redacted version of the dirty cop-Mueller repor tthis week. It will of course consume the political conversation for days... but even now it is clear that, as much as the report might be talked about, it will not settle the main arguments that have raged about the Trump-Russia affair for more than two years. Here are five debates that won't be resolved, no matter how much of the report Barr makes public: 1. Collusion. On the face of it, Barr's summary of dirty cop-Mueller's conclusion could not be clearer: The evidence gathered by the special prosecutor does not show that the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with Russia to fix the 2016 election. Barr included two brief quotes from the dirty cop-Mueller report on collusion: "The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities" and "the evidence does not establish that the president was involved in an underlying crime related to Russian election interference." So on the question: Will dirty cop-Mueller show that collusion occurred? The answer seems a pretty straightforward no. But that is not the end of it. Immediately upon the release of the Barr summary, some of the president's accusers began moving the goalposts. What dirty cop-Mueller really said was that the evidence did not establish beyond a reasonable doubt that there was no conspiracy or coordination. Maybe there will be evidence that shows collusion but does not meet that high legal standard. Or maybe dirty cop-Mueller said that the evidence did not establish that criminal collusion had taken place. Maybe there's some other sort of collusion that dirty cop-Mueller did find. And dirty cop-Mueller did not say, at least in the snippet of his report quoted by Barr, that there was no evidence whatsoever of conspiracy or coordination. So, maybe there is some evidence that shows some sort of collusion by some sort of standard that Trump's critics might adopt. 2. Obstruction. This is a guarantee: Some readers of the dirty cop-Mueller report will swear that it proves the president obstructed justice, while others will swear it proves he did not obstruct justice. dirty cop-Mueller himself has made sure that will happen by not making what Barr called a "traditional prosecutorial judgment" on the obstruction question. Why dirty cop-Mueller did that is not clear; perhaps it will be revealed when the report is released. Barr said dirty cop-Mueller "views as 'difficult issues' of law and fact concerning whether the president's actions and intent could be viewed as obstruction."...   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/byron-york-five-arguments-the-mueller-report-wont-settle?utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_04/15/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief&rid=5261

Mark Meadows Expects Criminal 
Referrals In DOJ Watchdog’s Report

{ dailycaller.com } ~ North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows said Sunday that he expects the Justice Department’s inspector general to issue criminal referrals... as part of an investigation into the FBI’s possible abuse of the surveillance courts during the Trump-Russia probe. “We’re fully anticipating that the inspector general’s report will come out as Attorney General Barr said in the next four to six weeks, and I think it’s highly likely that we’ll see criminal referrals coming from them that will correspond with what Chairman Devin Nunes has already put forth,” Meadows said in an interview on Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures. ”Attorney General William Barr told Congress on Tuesday that he expects Michael Horowitz, the inspector general, to issue a report in late May or June. On March 28, 2018, Horowitz opened an investigation into whether the FBI and Justice Department complied with legal requirements to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant against Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Meadows, a close ally of President Trump’s, said that he and Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan met earlier this week with Horowitz. Both have expressed confidence in Horowitz’s work, and have heightened expectations that the investigation will be favorable to Republicans. Meadows said that he believes that Horowitz’s report will also focus on FBI leaks to the media. The Republican claimed to have seen evidence that the bureau would leak information to the press and then use those stories to justify additional investigations...

{ americanthinker.com } ~ This past Thursday night, Daily Wire writer Michael Knowles came to speak at the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC). A mob of thirty or so students and hangers-on heckled him... and one sprayed him with what proved to be a nontoxic substance. While the campus police wrestled the student to the ground, his or her or “hir” colleagues chanted the lethal and long since discredited mantra, “Hands up, don’t shoot.” For conservative speakers on college campuses, the disruption was business more or less as usual. What was not usual, at least not in this part of the world, was the “official” response. As quickly became clear, there are no “liberals” any more. Their young have cowed them here and elsewhere into a cringing, uncritical embrace of the progressive menu du jour. The missive UMKC chancellor Mauli Agrawal sent to the “campus community” after the event reads like a hostage letter. To describe Knowles’s views, Agrawal used the words “controversial,” “unpopular,” and “extreme.” Agrawal concluded his plea for civility by asking students “to stay true to our values in the face of provocation, and to respond to bias and intolerance with reason and courage.” If Rep. Ilhan “Some people did something” Omar had spoken on campus, Agrawal’s letter might have made some sense, but she didn’t. The speaker, Michael Knowles, is cut from the same cloth as his better-known colleague Ben Shapiro: young, sane, restrained, and very smart. The talk that tested campus values was titled, “Men Are Not Women.”...

Dems Play the Victim While Making Light of 9/11

Thomas Gallatin:  This past week provided a perfect example of leftists’ inability to argue the merits of an issue. All they do when challenged is cry oppression and racism.

On Tuesday, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) called out Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for her demonstrably false statements regarding the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Crenshaw wrote, “First Member of Congress to ever describe terrorists who killed thousands of Americans on 9/11 as ‘some people who did something.’ Unbelievable.”

Though virtually all Crenshaw did was quote her, Omar responded by playing the victim, claiming that Crenshaw’s comments were “dangerous incitement, given the death threats I face. I hope leaders of both parties will join me in condemning it.” She then added, “My love and commitment to our country and that of my colleagues should never be in question. We are All Americans.”

But Crenshaw was having none of it, replying, “1. I never called you un-American. 2. I did not incite any violence against you. 3. You described an act of terrorism on American soil that killed thousands of innocent lives as ‘some people did something.’ It’s still unbelievable, as is your response here.”

Then America’s favorite socialist, Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), jumped to defend her fellow leftist, only to further expose her own profound ignorance by attacking Crenshaw, asking why he hasn’t done anything about terrorism. commie-AOC then ridiculously asserted that Crenshaw’s criticism of Omar was “an incitement of violence against progressive women of color.”

First, the notion that Crenshaw has not done anything about 9/11 terrorism is flat-out absurd. Memo to commie-AOC: There’s a reason he wears that eye patch, and it’s not because he’s trying to look like a pirate. He is a Navy SEAL, a decorated war hero who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan and lost his eye while fighting jihadis in league with those who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks.

Second, calling out someone for their false, misleading, and offensive remarks is not an “incitement to violence.” To suggest such a thing is utterly despicable and logically indefensible. But this is what identity politics breeds — entitled narcissists who cry “racism” and “bigotry” whenever their absurdity is challenged and refuted.

That 3,000 Americans were murdered by bloodthirsty radical Islamic terrorists on 9/11is not merely “some people did something,” and the fact that Omar refuses to recognize this fact is not just offensive but downright appalling. The New York Post editorial board was spot on when writing, “Omar’s cavalier brushing off of the murder of thousands of innocents on 9/11 should shock all Americans, Muslims included.” Even if commie-AOC and Omar think their Melanin Score inoculates them from criticism.

{ thefederalist.com } ~ Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s report is expected to be made public early this week. The big special counsel news already occurred last month... when Attorney General William Barr announced dirty cop-Mueller ended his investigation without a single American — much less a single American tied to President Donald Trump — being indicted for collusion with Russia to steal the 2016 election. The news followed years of media coverage claiming Trump was an agent of Russian President Vladimir Putin and had colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election from scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton. That conspiracy theory led first to widespread spying on the Trump campaign using overseas intelligence assets and a variety of electronic surveillance. Following Trump’s election, weaponized leaks from intelligence officials ramped up. Eventually it led to a no-holds-barred and no-expense-spared special counsel investigation of Trump and his campaign affiliates. The lack of indictments for the ostensible reason for the investigation was profoundly deflating — and embarrassing — for the Resistance and its media leaders. Relatively few people will read the nearly 400-page special counsel report. Many will cherry-pick information to support their current opposition to the president. Here’s what is reasonable to expect from it. Part 1: No Indictments For Russia Collusion Part 2: No Indictments for Obstruction  and Spinning and Hyping Obstruction...

{ dailycaller.com } ~ A number of conservative leaders are encouraging President Donald Trump to nominate Ken Cuccinelli to lead the Department of Homeland Security... As speculation continues over who will replace former DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, a coalition of conservative leaders is pressing Trump to nominate Cuccinelli, the former attorney general of Virginia and current president of the Senate Conservatives Fund. Prominent members in the conservative sphere have signed their name onto a letter that touts his background and abilities. “In this time of national crisis and emergency over national security and immigration, Ken’s background as a no-nonsense law enforcement officer and a major constitutional lawyer, along with his reputation as a fighter, combined with his extensive media experience, including television, make him ideally suited to carry out the duties of the Department of Homeland Security and your immigration agenda,” read a portion of the letter. The letter — which is dated to be delivered to the White House on Friday — expressed support for Trump’s “Make America Great Again agenda” and said Cuccinelli’s law background and popularity among Republican activists makes him a good fit for the position. Signers of the letter include former South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center and Jenny Beth Martin of Tea Party Patriots, among others. Nielsen announced her resignation as DHS secretary on Sunday and officially stepped down on Wednesday. Former Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan was promoted to fill her position in an acting capacity for the time being. The moves have been part of a larger immigration  staff shakeup in the Trump administration...

More than 10,000 illegals in U.S. 
from terrorist countries

by wnd.com:  More than 10,000 illegal aliens from countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism are living in the United States, according to federal data... The countries of origin include Iran, North Korea, Syria and Sudan, said the Immigration Reform Law Institute, or IRLI, which referenced the data in a study reported by Breitbart News. The illegal aliens either have been ordered deported or have pending deportation orders, despite remaining in the U.S., Breitbart said. A total of more than 1.7 million illegal aliens remain in the U.S. despite having been ordered deported or having pending deportation orders.  IRLI Executive Director Dale Wilcox spoke to Breitbart News Tonight radio program on Sirius of the “very dangerous situation.” “We have 10,000 aliens … some of them are criminals and that’s why they’ve been ordered removed,” he said. “You could have some that might have come into the country legally at some point. However, they’ve committed crimes and they’ve been ordered removed.” Of the 10,000 from terror-sponsoring countries, about 6,000 are from Iran, Wilcox pointed out. He noted that California, a “sanctuary” state that shields illegal aliens from federal immigration authorities, has the largest population of Iranians outside of Iran...

{ libertyheadlines.com } ~ A report from the Immigration Reform Law Institute  discovered that sanctuary cities, which routinely protect criminal illegal aliens, harbor more than 10,000 illegal aliens... who hail from countries deemed “state sponsors of terrorism.” “It’s bad enough that America is deluged with illegal aliens from failed states around the world,” said Dale L. Wilcox, executive director and general counsel of IRLI. “It’s simply unacceptable that we also have more than 10,000 aliens here from terrorist states that are sworn enemies of America.” In compliance with IRLI’s Freedom of Information Act request, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement  revealed alarming statistics. More than 10,000 nationals from Iran, Syria, Sudan, and North Korea live freely in sanctuary cities, despite federal immigration authorities issuing final removal orders or pending final removal orders against them. The majority, more than 6,000 illegal aliens, are Iranian nationals. The U.S. labeled that country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization, and the State Department has described Iran as the world’s “foremost state sponsor of terrorism.”...

Navy, Marines Exercising How

{ /news.usni.org } ~ After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. had two years to rebuild the Navy into the force that helped win World War II. In today’s era... of great power competition from China and Russia, officials say, the Navy won’t have that kind of time. “The pace of warfare at sea in the 1940s was the pace of ships and airplanes. The pace of war in this century – if it occurs – will be the pace of photons and electrons,” said Capt. Andrew Gainer, executive officer of Naval Information Warfare Center-Pacific in San Diego. “The first country that figures out how to fight effectively with those is probably going to win. There will no two-year learning curve. There will be no time to figure it out during the fight.” Rapid advancements in technology outpace military acquisition or doctrinal development, so Navy and Marine Corps officials are using a series of advanced naval technology experimentation exercises to shorten that timeline gap and ensure operational forces in the high-tech battlespace are equipped for the high-end future conflicts. The battlespace is changing rapidly, and “that change is accelerating, and so we have to accelerate in order to maintain our competitive advantage,” Rear Adm. Donald Gabrielson, commander of San Diego-based Carrier Strike Group 11, said Monday during a media roundtable for ANTX West 2019, which focused on 21st Century Combined Arms...

Illegal Aliens Get Demo Money — Veterans, Not So Much

Political Editors:   Leftists and their policies have increasingly favored noncitizens over citizens, but Democrats in New York may well have set a new low. New York’s Higher Education Committee this week voted against advancing a bipartisan bill that would have provided free college tuition to the families of veterans killed in the line of duty. That’s bad enough, but this was after state lawmakers just last week passed a $175 billion budget that included $27 million in tuition aid to children of illegal aliens. By contrast, a few hundred thousand dollars will not be added to the existing program for 145 vets’ kids, which currently costs just $2.7 million — a mere tenth of the tuition aid that the state’s illegals will receive.
 

Several Republican lawmakers weren’t happy, and they blasted their Democrat counterparts. Assemblyman Gary Finch may have said it best: “It’s disgraceful. Soldiers who lay down their lives and make the ultimate sacrifice represent the best of us. The children they love so dearly deserve access to the opportunity and promise that is the hallmark of this country. I can’t imagine what’s in your heart when you vote ‘no’ on a bill like this.”

Republican Assemblyman Will Barclay, one of the bill’s cosponsors, surmised that partisanship was the real reason behind the Democrats’ “no” vote. “We get so caught up in majority and minority issues here, we can’t see the forest through the trees,” he said, adding, “I don’t know how they don’t justify this.”

Assemblywoman Deborah Glick (D), who chairs the committee and voted against the bill, claimed that concerns over the budget weighed against expanding the veteran tuition-aid program. But state Sen. Robert Ortt (R) wasn’t buying it: “Assemblywoman Glick should be ashamed of herself. We set aside $27 million for college for people that are here illegally. … Apparently $2.7 million is all that the families of soldiers who are killed get. If you’re a child of a fallen soldier, you do not rank as high and you know that by the money.”

Indeed, “Show me your budget and I’ll tell you what you value” is a common refrain used by loose lips-Joe Biden and other free-spending leftists, and it tells us all we need to know about “progressive” values. It would’ve been one thing if Democrats had refused to fund either program, as their fiscal concerns would’ve at least been believable. But giving handouts to those who aren’t even here legally while stiffing the children of Patriots who’ve given their lives for this great nation is simply despicable.  ~The Patriot Post

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Sen. Lindsey Graham plans to introduce a legislative package that would change the country’s asylum laws in an effort to stem the influx of migrants crossing the southern border... The South Carolina Republican revealed his immigration plan during an interview Sunday. “I'm tired of talking about this problem. I want to fix it. I think all Americans should want both parties to fix this problem,” Graham told Fox News. “The president has correctly identified the crisis at the border, now it's time to have a legislative solution. You need to change our laws for this to stop, so I'll be introducing a package — and hopefully with Democratic support — that will change our asylum laws. Ninety percent of the people apply for asylum never make it, so the standard needs to change.”Graham said he plans to put together the legislative package once Congress returns to Washington, D.C., from recess on April 29. The Senate Judiciary Committee, which Graham helms, will then mark up the measure, he said. “Doing what we’re doing is not working,” Graham said. “The crisis has to come to an end and the only way to bring it to an end is to change our laws.” In addition to altering the asylum laws, Graham raised issues with the 1997 Flores settlement, which prohibits the federal government from holding children in family detention centers for more than 20 days...

Ken Starr: Here is my take, Bill Barr knows something Laura. He knows something. He says, I have a concern and I believe I have a basis for that concern. Anyone who knows Bill Barr knows he doesn’t just say things. He thinks about them. He’s careful with what he says. And I think if Bill Barr says I think there is a basis for my concern, he doesn’t say what it is, that is a “stay tuned America.”

{ bizpacreview.com } ~ During an appearance Saturday on Fox News’ “Justice with Jeanine,” White House principal deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley confirmed that the White House has begun working... with the Department of Homeland Security on a plan to transport illegal aliens to sanctuary cities. He made the remarks two days after the mainstream media revealed that President Donald Trump’s administration intends to alleviate Democrat-induced crowding at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s detention facilities by releasing detained illegals in sanctuary cities.  Though the report provoked massive backlash and rage from both congressional Democrats and even the mayors of sanctuary cities, Gidley noted to Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro that the administration is simply giving them exactly what they’ve been asking for since day one. “The president said listen, there are sanctuary cities out there where Democrats have said we welcome any and all whether they criminals, whether they are here illegally, seeking asylum, regardless,” the White House principal deputy press secretary noted. “Anybody who disagrees with us is racist. So the president said fine, I’ve got a great idea. We’d love to work with you guys to figure out exactly the best way to transport these people were here illegally and unlawfully and into your communities and your districts and your states.” He added that the Trump administration is merely giving these cities “what they want.” “They have said they wanted all of these illegal aliens into their communities,” Gidley noted. “We’re working with DHS, we’re working with ICE, to try and make sure that happens because after all, it’s what they want. “They should not say, ‘This is retribution politically.” They should say, ‘This is an olive branch.'”...

It's About Time

Cal Thomas
 

President Trump has designated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a foreign terrorist organization (FTO). It’s about time. Other administrations might have done it, but didn’t.

In a statement, the president said, “The Iranian regime is the leading state sponsor of terror. It exports dangerous missiles, fuels conflict across the Middle East, and supports terrorist proxies.”

This is not exactly breaking news, but Trump has applied the right label to behavior that defines terrorism. It is the first time, says the White House, that the United States has designated part of another government an FTO.

The administration’s goal is to “…increase the financial pressure and isolation of Iran and deprive the regime of resources it uses for its terrorist activities.” One wishes the U.S. could recover the $400 million sent to Iran by the Obama administration in what appeared to be ransom for four Americans held hostage by the regime. It was money that likely is being used to subsidize Iran’s worldwide terrorist activities.

The Trump administration also charges Iran with operating what appear to be legitimate businesses, but are actually fronts for accomplishing Iran’s terrorist goals. Something they might have picked up from the Mafia.

Memories can fade quickly, so a recounting of just some of Iran’s terrorist activities over the years might help focus the mind and add justification for the administration’s action.

When the Shah of Iran was forced out in 1979 with the assistance of the Carter administration, the religious leadership that replaced him established the IRGC, ostensibly to promote government social policy. It quickly became an organization through which funding was provided to entities designated by several countries as terrorist groups. The IRGC has roughly 150,000 military personnel, including ground, aerospace and naval forces, and along with the Quds Force, one of its warfare units, became a major trainer of Islamic terrorists.

The U.S. government has blamed groups supported by Iran for the deaths of American soldiers in Afghanistan and Syria and during the Iraq war. These groups are also a constant threat to Israel, which several Iranian religious leaders have vowed to one day eliminate.

Hezbollah has reportedly been a chief beneficiary of Iranian support. That terrorist organization, which Iran claims is an anti-Israel “liberation” group, has gallons of blood on its hands, from incidents too numerous to recount in full detail.

Here are just some examples gleaned from a simple Google search: A van filled with explosives was blown up in front of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut in 1983, killing 63 people, including the suicide bomber and 17 Americans. That same year, barracks housing U.S. Marines and French peacekeepers was bombed, killing 241 Americans and 58 French. An American federal judge ruled that Hezbollah was responsible for the attack on orders from the Iranian government.

The hijacking of TWA flight 847 in 1985 during which 39 Americans were held hostage for weeks and a U.S. Navy sailor was murdered. A Jewish community center in Argentina in 1994 was bombed, killing 85 people. Hezbollah admitted responsibility. The Khobar Towers, a U.S. Air Force housing complex in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, was bombed in 1996, killing 19 U.S. service members. In 2006, a federal judge ruled Iran was responsible.

Why did it take other administrations so long to respond to the obvious? It should be the policy of the U.S. government to support Iranians who have shown at the ballot box and in street demonstrations, brutally suppressed by the regime, that their wishes for an Iran free of fundamentalist religious dictators must be realized for the sake of Iranians and for the stability of the region.

President Trump has taken an important first step in designating the IRGC a foreign terrorist organization. He should be joined by other nations, which also have a strong interest in deterring terrorism within their borders. The ultimate goal for every nation that faces threats from the Iranian regime should be the removal of its current fanatical leaders.

Media Editors:  TROLL MASTER “President Trump said Friday his administration is ‘giving strong considerations’ to a controversial plan that would release migrants into so-called sanctuary cities, even though officials said the idea was never seriously considered. In a pair of tweets, Trump accused Democrats of being ‘unwilling to change our very dangerous immigration laws’ and suggested they should feel the consequences of what he has called the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.” (The Hill)
.
TEMPORARY BORDER SANITY: “The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of President Trump on Friday when it determined that the government can at least temporarily continue to send asylum-seekers back to Mexico. The asylum program was scheduled to be shut down at midnight under an order from District Judge Richard Seeborg, but the White House requested that the appeals court intervene. The 9th Circuit temporarily stayed the lower court’s ruling as the parties get ready to submit their arguments next week on the government’s request for a longer stay that would likely last months.” (The Hill)

BUTTIGIEG MAKES IT OFFICIAL “Pete Buttigieg, the little-known Indiana mayor who has risen to prominence in the early stages of the 2020 Democratic presidential race, made his official campaign entrance Sunday by claiming the mantle of a youthful generation ready to reshape the country,” the Associated Press reports. “Some polls put him behind only Vermont Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders, who sought the party’s nomination in 2016, and former Vice President loose lips-Joe Biden, who has not yet said he’s running.”
.
TRUMP’S IMPRESSIVE WAR CHEST: According to Fox News, “President Trump’s re-election campaign raised $30.3 million in the first quarter of this year, far pacing the leading fundraisers among the Democrats.” The average donation was $34.26, and 99% of all contributions consisted of $200 or less. “In all, the campaign had $40.8 million cash on hand, an unprecedented war chest for an incumbent president this early in the campaign. Trump’s fundraising ability was matched by the Republican National Committee, which brought in $45.8 million in the first quarter — its highest non-election year total.”

HOUSE DEMOCRATS’ NEW IRS ULTIMATUM: “House Democrats are giving the Trump administration a hard deadline of April 23 to turn over the president’s tax returns. … Legal experts have suggested that an outright denial of their request by [Treasury Secretary Steven] Mnuchin could be followed by subpoenas or a lawsuit in federal court. Mnuchin so far has only postponed responding to Democrats’ request and said he would confer with the Justice Department, but he has not yet rejected it.” (The Washington Post)

CULTURE OF DEATH GROWS: “New Jersey became the eighth state in the country to legalize assisted suicide on Friday. Democratic governor Phil Murphy signed legislation that will allow doctors to prescribe lethal doses of medicine to patients who have been diagnosed as terminally ill.” (The Washington Free Beacon)

NORTH KOREA TIMETABLE: Via The Hill: “North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has laid down an end-of-year marker for the United States to agree to terms for a nuclear deal while signaling he may agree to a third summit with President Trump. Kim said that he will wait ‘till the end of this year’ for the U.S. to decide to be more flexible in negotiations. … Kim called offers floated by the U.S. ‘absolutely impractical,’ arguing that the administration did ‘not really ready itself to sit with us face-to-face and settle the problem.’”

SICKENING OUTCOME: “The U.S. Justice Department won’t appeal a decision by a Detroit federal judge who threw out female genital mutilation charges against members of a Muslim sect. Solicitor General Noel Francisco calls it an ‘especially heinous practice.’ But in a letter to Congress, he says the law needs to be changed to be constitutional under U.S. Supreme Court precedent. Judge Bernard Friedman in November said the law was unconstitutional because Congress didn’t have power to regulate genital mutilation. … Dr. Jumana Nagarwala was accused of performing genital mutilation on nine girls at a suburban Detroit clinic.” (WXYZ Detroit)

{ theconservativetreehouse.co } ~  During a rather innocuous podcast discussion panel yesterday, one of President Trump’s personal lawyers Jay Sekulow mentioned the FBI had three FISA applications denied by the FISA court in 2016... The denials were always suspected; however, until now no-one in/around the administration has ever confirmed. Jay Sekulow did not expand on his statement and did not explain where the information was derived from; however, if accurate this may explain the backstory to why FISA Judge Rudolph Contreras was recused. This issue has been nagging many people since the recusal notation in December 2017. On November 30th, 2017, Mike Flynn signed a guilty plea; ostensibly admitting lying to investigators. The plea was accepted by Judge Rudolph Contreras; who is also a FISA court judge. Six days later, December 7th, 2017, Judge Contreras “was recused” from the case without explanation. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia judge presiding over the criminal case for President Donald Trump’s former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has been recused from handling the case, a court spokeswoman said on Thursday. The only two significant things that happened between the initial Mike Flynn plea hearing and the recusal from Judge Contreras was: #1) The stories about anti-Trump FBI Agent Peter Strzok and his involvement with Fusion-GPS and Christopher Steele (keep this in mind as it pertains to FISC presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer); and #2) FBI Director Chris Wray appearing before the House Judicial Committee and hearing Representative Jim Jordan demand to see the 2016 FISA application...   https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/04/13/jay-sekulow-three-fisa-applications-were-denied-in-2016-and-what-this-means/

European Churches: Vandalized, 
Defecated On, and Torched "Every Day"

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Countless churches throughout Western Europe are being vandalized, defecated on, and torched. In France, two churches are desecrated every day on average... According to PI-News, a German news site, 1,063 attacks on Christian churches or symbols (crucifixes, icons, statues) were registered in France in 2018. This represents a 17% increase compared to the previous year (2017), when 878 attacks were registered— meaning that such attacks are only going from bad to worse. Among some of the recent desecrations in France, the following took place in just February and March: Vandals plundered Notre-Dame des Enfants Church in Nîmes and used human excrement to draw a cross there; consecrated bread was found thrown outside among garbage. The Saint-Nicolas Church in Houilles was vandalized on three separate occasions in February; a 19th century statue of the Virgin Mary, regarded as "irreparable," was "completely pulverized," said a clergyman; and a hanging cross was thrown to the floor. Vandals desecrated and smashed crosses and statues at Saint-Alain Cathedral in Lavaur, and mangled the arms of a statue of a crucified Christ in a mocking manner. In addition, an altar cloth was burned. Arsonists  torched the Church of St. Sulpice in Paris soon after midday mass on Sunday, March 17. Similar reports are coming out of Germany. Four separate churches were vandalized and/or torched in March alone. "In this country," PI-News explained, "there is a creeping war against everything that symbolizes Christianity: attacks on mountain-summit crosses, on sacred statues by the wayside, on churches... and recently also on cemeteries."...

Leak of Classified Info Reaches 
‘Record High Levels’ Under Trump

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Illegal leaks of classified information have reportedly reached "record high levels" during the Trump administration, according to a nonprofit group citing DOJ stats... "Agencies transmitted 120 leak referrals to the Justice Department in 2017, and 88 leak referrals in 2018, for an average of 104 per year," the Federation of American Scientists reported, citing numbers issued by the Justice Department. "By comparison, the average number of leak referrals during the scumbag/liar-nObama Administration (2009–2016) was 39 per year."While Trump administration officials have sought to stem the flow of these leaks, they appear to have continued at record levels."It has continued," FAS noted in its newsletter. "Despite preventive efforts, the 2018 total of 88 leak referrals was still higher than any reported pre-Trump figure. The previous high in recent decades had been 55 referrals in 2013 and in 2007. The lowest was 18 in 2015.." "The newly released aggregate data on classified leak referrals serve as a reminder that leaks of classified information are a ‘normal,' predictable occurrence," FAS reported. "There is not a single year in the past decade and a half for which data are available when there were no such criminal referrals."

Why Are Young Americans So Miserable?

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Survey after survey shows young Americans are increasingly unhappy, depressed, and even suicidal. They are America's future, and their outlook makes that future look grim... What's the matter with kids today? Recent years have seen a rise in Americans 12 to 25 saying they are unhappy. Since 2012, the proportion of 8th and 10th graders who tell the Monitoring the Future survey that they felt unhappy has crept up from 13 percent to 18 percent. In roughly the same time, the proportion of 18- to 25-year-olds who say they are unhappy has risen from 11 to 17 percent, according to the General Social Survey. These small increases under represent the growing group of young people for whom life has grown unbearable. Among both high schoolers and young adults, incidences of depression, anxiety, and hopelessness—culminating in major depressive episodes—have risen substantially. A recent survey from the Pew Research Center found that 70 percent of teenagers think anxiety and depression are major problems among their peers, easily outpacing bullying or drug addiction. In the worst cases, these feelings may translate into thoughts of, or plans for, suicide. A recent survey, for example, found that the number of children 5 to 17 being admitted to hospitals for self-harm and suicide attempts doubled between 2008 and 2015. Even more sobering are the rising suicide rates themselves. Why are young people so unhappy? Any big social phenomenon will have multiple causes, and everything from  overprotective parents to a culture of safety has been blamed. That said, a few big trends in socialization, technology, and education may shed some light on how today's young people are living different, less happy lives...
A sudden cluster of Islamic 
terror attacks on synagogues, thwarted
by Monica Showalter

{ americanthinker.com } ~ For all the left's howls about 'Islamophobia' and its supposed 'endangering' of Muslims, the real issue is anti-Semitism and the terror attacks now surging from it... Three Islam-motivated massacres on synagogues — in Ohio, Montana, and Georgia — were all thwarted in just the last five months, with very little press coverage about how close the terrorists came. Frontline's Daniel Greenfield has a disturbing piece on the incidents, as well news of a surge of crazed Jew-hating rhetoric from Muslim leaders that has risen in assorted mosques around the country, which may be fueling it.  He writes: All three Muslim terrorists were ISIS supporters. They were the same age and scattered around the country, from Montana to Georgia to Ohio. They origins lay in different cultures and parts of the world. And yet their terror plots all targeted Jews. What was it that created this cluster of three Islamic terror plots against synagogues? He thinks it's connected to the surge in Jew-hating rhetoric and actual calls for violence against Jews suddenly coming out of mosques throughout the country: Last year, there was a similar cluster, not of attack plots, but of incitement to violence. In December 2017, an Imam in New Jersey had been caught preaching of the Jews, "Count them one by one, and kill them down to the very last one. Do not leave a single one on the face of the Earth." In February 2018, an Imam in Texas had urged fighting the Jews and a Syrian refugee Imam in North Carolina had recited a hadith calling for the extermination of the Jews, "We will fight those Jews until the rocks and the trees will speak: 'Oh Muslim, this is a Jew behind me.'" The geographic diversity of these calls to violence in mosques from New Jersey to North Carolina to Texas, echoed the diversity of the latest Islamic terror plots in Montana, Georgia and Ohio. There is no particular reason to think that the three terrorists were influenced by imams from other states. What these numbers reveal is the incredible scope and range of Islamic anti-Semitism and violence in America...

Expelling Corruption From Government Schools

Mark Alexander:  If a socially responsible media outlet wants to expose urban government corruption across the nation, start in a city that is imploding under the weight of institutional corruption: Baltimore, Maryland. And if you want to expose the most consequential corruption in that city, start with how its education bureaucracy is failing students. And if that city stonewalls your inquiry, hire a good legal team to tear down that wall.

When Baltimore’s FOX45 affiliate of Sinclair Broadcast Group opened its “Project Baltimore” investigation of a suspected grade-inflation scheme in Baltimore City Schools, a charade to create the appearance that the school system’s performance is much better than it actually is, the city refused to release relevant records. (I know, you’re shocked.) FOX45 filed suit, and a Baltimore judge ruled that school bureaucrats “knowingly and willfully” violated the law when refusing to release those records.

Apparently, school-system officials did not want to release information that might incriminate those involved with fraudulently advancing students through the system who don’t merit advancement.

Of course, Baltimore bureaucrats have more pressing issues than educating children, like providing cover for their corrupt mayor, or taking cover to dodge bullets and robbers, or defending the city’s LGBTQ agenda.

Responding to the judge’s ruling, FOX45’s counsel, Thomas and Libowitz attorney Scott Marder, declared, “It’s a victory for teachers, parents, taxpayers, but most of all, students. I hope that this is the first step towards some accountability.” Marder added, “The judge heard all of the evidence and found … that they intentionally violated the law. … Decisions like this are critical to accountability in government. Oftentimes, government will think that it’s above the law, and in this case, the judge said in fact that the school system thought they were above the law.”

Sinclair executive Scott Livingston added, “These alleged deceptions used to create an image of improved performance are a disservice to the children of Baltimore, who deserve an education system that provides them with the tools they need to succeed in life.”

Baltimore city-school spokesperson Anne Fullerton rebutted, “We believe the Court’s ruling … will have a chilling effect on investigations. … We are currently reviewing the ruling to determine possible next steps.”

“Next steps” is legal speak for how to further obfuscate evidence of corruption and fraud. But indeed, this ruling will have a “chilling effect” — there are school administrators in other corrupt urban centers who are feeling that chill. Perhaps Baltimore will now become a model for something good — how Sinclair’s investigative journalists can expel corruption from other government-school bureaucracies across the country. I nominate Detroit as their next target.  ~The Patriot Post

5th-ele-1.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710xThe rotten egg that is sanctuary cities is about to explode in the faces of liberals, and they are not the least bit happy about it.

Such liberals have for years advocated for, and built their cities into such sanctuary cities, where illegal aliens, criminals by choice who have entered our country illegally can live, most of them sponging off of American taxpayer dollars, without fear of being detained or deported.

Sanctuary cities are where the lawless illegal aliens go because it is their safe space, and because in those sanctuary cities, liberals protect them. Liberals pitch a fit when you suggest building a wall to keep them out…but suggest to liberals that they turn their city into a sanctuary city…and they dance with glee in the streets.

Suggest to liberals that you’re going to cut off their sanctuary city’s gravy train…that you’re going to discontinue the flow of federal dollars to their sanctuary city…and you know what happens next…

Questioning Global Warming
by Todd Royal

{ americanthinker.com } ~ When pollsters realized the public and elected officials weren’t buying global warming as a concept or policy, in a brilliant political move, they came up with the phrase “climate change.”... This helped sell the theory of man-made global warming. Weather is politicized and computer models are only predictions that have been used as pawns in elections and justifying increased government budgets. The global warming/climate change (GWCC) narrative has made scumbag-Al Gore a rich man peddling  unrealized fear. In January 2012, sixteen eminent scientists published an article in the Wall Street Journal, titled, “No Need to Panic About Global Warming. If mankind is causing global warming then how do you explain: “Today’s CO2 concentrations worldwide average about 380 parts per million. This level of CO2 concentration is trivial compared with the concentrations during earlier geologic periods. For example, 460 million years ago, during the Ordovician Period, CO2 concentrations were 4,400 ppm, and temperatures then were about the same as they are today. With such high levels of CO2 the Earth should have been boiling.” It seems more reasonable to be   agnostic based upon this fact: “According to the Climate.gov website, the current global average temperature is roughly ‘shy of 60 degrees Fahrenheit. About 55 million years ago – just after the age of the Dinosaurs – the era known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) saw average global temps as high as 73 degrees Fahrenheit.” As humans only showed up about 100,000 years ago how do you account for the PETM era? Supposedly, 97% of scientists agree man is the cause of catastrophic GWCC. When in fact that statement is false.  Moreover: “A recent study reported in the peer-reviewed Organization Studies found that just 36 percent of earth scientists and engineers believe that humans are creating a climate change crisis. A majority of the 1,077 respondents in the survey believe that nature is the primary cause of recent GWCC.” What if you believe the 97% scientist debate then why hasn’t this information been widely reported? “The media ignore a petition on the Internet signed by more than 31,000 scientists, including 9,029 PhDs, 7,157 with a master’s of science, and 12, 715 with a bachelor of science degree, all of whom dispute the global warming thesis.”...

With Netanyahu’s win and settlement 
sovereignty vow, a Diaspora ‘rupture’ alert

{ timesofisrael.com } ~ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s election victory risks deepening the divide between Israel and Diaspora Jewry, US Jewish leaders have said in the campaign’s aftermath... especially if he follows through on his election-eve promise to annex West Bank settlements. Such a move would alienate the Jewish state from most American Jews, who overwhelmingly lean left of center, and divide the American Jewish community on Israel’s moral standing, the heads of several powerful Jewish organizations told The Times of Israel. If Netanyahu unilaterally extended Israeli sovereignty to West Bank settlements, as he promised to do in election-eve interviews, it would “foreclose any possibility of a two-state solution,” said Rick Jacobs, the president of the Union for Reform Judaism. “I think that would create a dramatic rupture with many in the American Jewish community.”“And it’s not because they don’t love Israel,” he added. “It’s because they do love Israel.” In the days before the election, Netanyahu vowed on television to gradually apply Israeli sovereignty to all settlements — those in the so-called blocs, as well as isolated settlements, which are home to a total of some 400,000 Israelis — added that he wanted and hoped to do so with US approval. He made clear that he was not talking about annexing Area C — the 60% of the West Bank that includes all the settlements and is home to over 100,000 Palestinians. It was not immediately clear whether this was an empty campaign promise aimed at turning out his right-wing base, or the introduction of a policy he would genuinely pursue...

EU's Collusion with Iran

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ On January 31, Britain, France and Germany announced a new payment mechanism known as the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX)... It was designed to preserve the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), also known as the Iran nuclear deal, after the US left the deal in May 2018 and reinstated -- as well as broadened -- US sanctions on the country in November 2018. The main purpose of INSTEX is to ensure that Europe -- and potentially third countries – can continue doing business with the mullahs in Iran without risking US penalties for contravening US sanctions. "INSTEX will support legitimate European trade with Iran, focusing initially on the sectors most essential to the Iranian population -- such as pharmaceutical, medical devices and agri-food goods," the foreign ministers of Britain, Germany and France said in a joint statement. In the longer term, INSTEX aims to be open to other countries wanting to trade with Iran, the statement said. Federica Mogherini, High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President of the European Commission, said INSTEX was "essential for the continued full implementation of the nuclear deal". Mogherini seems strongly committed to ensuring that Iran -- and Europe -- continue receiving economic benefits from the illegal, unsigned, and unratified Iran deal. "Alongside Iran's implementation, the lifting of nuclear-related sanctions is an essential part of the deal so we will continue to work to preserve the economic dividends of sanctions lifting," Mogherini said recently. "Our collective security requires a solid multilateral architecture for non-proliferation and disarmament. This is why the European Union will continue to work to preserve the nuclear deal with Iran," added Mogherini who insisted that Iran is complying with the JCPOA... Thats a lie and cover-up statement.   https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14006/eu-collusion-iran

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ House Democrats this week headed to a retreat in suburban D.C. to celebrate “100 days of achievement” after reclaiming the majority in January and passing a bevy of policy bills... But by the time they arrived in Leesburg, Va., they had suffered a bruising internal fight over spending that forced Speaker Nancy Pulosi to cancel a vote on a critical bill to raise mandatory spending caps for the next two fiscal years. Democrats hoped a strong party vote in favor of their plan to provide generous increases for domestic spending would give them more leverage as Pulosi heads into bipartisan talks on a final caps deal with President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. But their progressive wing wanted a higher amount of domestic spending and less for the military budget and refused to back the deal, while fiscally moderate Democrats complained the price tag was too high. The fight left the caucus short of the votes needed to pass the measure and sent a powerful message to the party that the unity they had enjoyed in the minority has its limits now that they run the House and are responsible for leading the way on must-pass spending measures. “We’ve got a lot of members on a learning curve, a steep learning curve,” House Budget Committee Chairman John Yarmuth, D-Ky., said...

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Congress and the Trump administration are incing closer to a legal fight over President Trump’s tax returns... House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., wrote Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Saturday with a new deadline to transmit Trump’s tax returns after Mnuchin missed Neal's original April 10 deadline. The Ways and Means chairman now wants the administration to provide Trump’s tax returns to his committee by April 23. “I am aware that concerns have been raised regarding my request and the authority of the Committee. Those concerns lack merit,” wrote Neal. “Moreover, judicial precedent commands that none of the concerns raised can legitimately be used to deny the Committee’s request.” Neal added that the law allowing him to request and review those returns is “unambiguous,” and that he would view Mnuchin as violating the law if he blocked cooperation by the new deadline he set on Saturday. “Please know that, if you fail to comply, your failure will be interpreted as a denial of my request,” said Neal. Neal had requested six years' worth of Trump’s personal tax returns, as well as a portion of his business returns, directly from IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig. But Mnuchin instead responded by saying the IRS, which acts as an independent agency but is a part of Treasury, would not meet the April 10 deadline set by Neal... Neal is a jerk.   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/economy/top-democrat-sets-new-deadline-for-trumps-tax-returns?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_04/13/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News&rid=5261

The Real Fraud of Medicare for All

Nate Jackson:  In the same week that the lid was blown off of a massive $1.2 billion Medicare scam, Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders decided to reintroduce his single-payer-health-insurance bill — the socialist scam called Medicare for All. What could go wrong?

The bill’s 14 cosponsors include Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Sen. scumbag-Cory Booker, and Sen. lowlife-Kamala Harris, all of whom are 2020 presidential contenders. It has quickly become a litmus test for Democrats.

We could talk about the outrageous cost, given that an earlier and slimmer version of commie-Sanders’s bill is estimated to run an eye-popping $32 trillion over 10 years. Or we could evaluate how catastrophic it would be to force 177 million Americans off of their private health insurance and onto the government dole by making it generally “unlawful” to even sell private insurance. (“If you like your health care plan, you can keep it” is so 2008.) And then there’s the abortion-on-demand coverage that would force millions of Americans to fund the slaughter of innocent babies in utero.

But it’s the very premise of Medicare for All that’s deeply wrong.

“I want to end the international embarrassment of the United States of America being the only major country on earth that doesn’t guarantee health care to all people as a right and not a privilege,” commie-Sanders pontificated. That, of course, hearkens back to the Left’s incredibly twisted interpretation of “rights,” which largely consist of services that have to be provided by someone else.

Economist Walter Williams explained this back in 2016 — oddly enough while rebutting Sanders for asserting the same thing about health care as he is now. “In the standard historical usage of the term, a ‘right’ is something that exists simultaneously among people. As such, a right imposes no obligation on another,” Williams explained. However, for the Left, “Those supposed rights do impose obligations upon others. … If one person has a right to something he did not earn, it requires another person’s not having a right to something he did earn.”

The Democrats’ agenda in a nutshell is to offer as many “free” goodies to as many constituents as possible to secure their own power. Calling such redistribution a “right” is merely a way to psychologically persuade those constituents that they deserve it. Trampling the Constitution and actual rights? Never mind that when there are elections to win.

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Justice Democrats, a PAC that helped send commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Congress in 2018, launched another attack against the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee... one of the biggest and most important establishment fundraising operations for House Democrats. In a fundraising email, Justice Democrats blasted the DCCC for accepting corporate PAC money, suggesting it had corrupted the committee and some members of the party on policy issues such as health care and the Green New Deal:The email comes roughly one week after Justice Democrats launched a website, DCCCBlacklist.com, in protest of a new policy by the DCCC of refusing to do business with vendors who work with any candidate running a primary challenge to an incumbent Democrat. "The DCCC is using their financial leverage to intimidate and blacklist many hardworking people in our movement in a blatant attempt to protect a handful of out-of-touch incumbents," the website says. "We're launching The Blacklist to fight back and provide potential primary challengers with a database of go-to vendors, organizations, and consultants who will continue to support efforts to usher in a new generation of leaders into the Democratic Party." The fundraising email is notable because it goes a step beyond the main grievances listed on the website and accuses the DCCC of being corrupted by campaign donations, and pandering "to the interests of Medicare-for-all sabotaging, and climate denying corporations," amounting to a "betrayal of our Democratic and progressive values." All of which points to the continuing notion that House Speaker Nancy Pulosi (D., Calif.,) has remained unable to corral the progressive flank in the Democrat caucus, something she has struggled with since the new Congress was sworn in in January...

Worse than Watergate

{ americanthinker.com } ~ For most of my lifetime, “Watergate” has been used as the measuring stick for political corruption. What exactly was the Watergate scandal?... On June 17, 1972, five men were arrested for burglarizing the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D. C. It was never alleged that President Richard M. Nixon knew about the burglary prior to the attempt, but that he tried to use the power of the presidency to obstruct justice in order to protect members of his administration and his reelection committee from facing criminal charges. Ultimately, Nixon was forced to resign in order to avoid congressional impeachment and a trial in the Senate. The great irony is that Nixon was going to crush McGovern in the general election without any illegal help. Nothing that could have been stolen from the Democrats could have helped the Republican Party win any bigger in 1972 -- Nixon claimed 520 electoral votes and carried 49 states. The break-in was stupid and unnecessary. And most importantly, it was illegal. Sure, the people initially apprehended were only a couple of Cuban refugees and a pair of former CIA spooks, but James W. McCord was with them -- a security coordinator for the Republican National Committee and Committee for the Re-election of the President. Investigators were eventually able to connect those five to G. Gordon Liddy and Howard Hunt, and those seven men were indicted by a grand jury on September 15, 1972. Over the course of the Watergate scandal, 69 people were eventually indicted, and 48 were found guilty. Nixon was pardoned by President Gerald Ford on September 8, 1974, officially putting an end to the whole sordid matter. Since that fateful turn of events, political scandals are typically compared to Watergate and inevitably judged to have fallen short. Subsequent scandals have often been labeled as such by merely appending “gate” as a suffix: thus we’ve had “Climategate” for the global warming email scandal, as one example. In fact, there’s a whole Wikipedia page devoted to organizing and listing all the scandals that have been designated as such simply by slapping the word “gate” at the end of it...  https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/04/worse_than_watergate.html

CIVIL WAR: Corporate-Backed Neolib 
Establishment Mobilizes to Destroy comie-Bernie

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Socialist insurgent commie-Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) continues to dominate early Democratic primary polls among candidates who are actually running... His candidacy is a mortal threat to the party's dominant neoliberal establishment, which is why it is mobilizing to destroy him. The opening salvo comes courtesy of Think Progress, the activist arm of the Center for American Progress, a corporate-funded neoliberal think tank and Democratic Party powerbroker. The militant blog, which spent the entire 2016 election shilling for an unapologetic wealth maven scumbag/liar-(Hillary Clinton, has produced a video attacking commie-Sanders for, of all things, the size of his bank account. The video paints commie-Sanders as a hypocrite, accusing him of altering his signature attack line against "millionaires and billionaires" after the candidate reportedly became a millionaire thanks to the two best-selling books he's published since the 2016 election. The accompanying Think Progress blog post is rife with condescension. "It’s all very off-brand and embarrassing, but Sen.commie- Bernie Sanders is a millionaire," reads the opening line. commie-Bernie's class warfare shtick has become "quite the lucrative enterprise," which is "a bit awkward" for a candidate "who has spent the better part of his career saying ‘millionaires' like it's a slur." This is the bizarro world we're living in. Soon enough, the neolibs will be attacking commie-Sanders for refusing to join the Koch-approved establishment consensus more cheap labor, please! on immigration. It makes a lot more sense when you consider the Democratic establishment's desire to keep corporate money flowing into its coffers...

ICC Rejects Request for Investigation 
Into U.S. ‘War Crimes’ in Afghanistan

{ freebeacon.com } ~ The International Criminal Court rejected petitions for it to investigate alleged war crimes committed by the United States in Afghanistan, the BBC reports... ICC judges notified the media in a press release that because of Afghanistan's regional instability and the unwillingness of local investigators to cooperate, such an investigation "would not serve the interests of justice." This update comes just a week after the United States revoked entry visas to ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, who had been examining on the court's behalf the possibility of war crimes committed in Afghanistan by the United States. This reversal is thought to be a response to that revocation, according to the BBC. The ICC has been investigating abuses and war crimes committed in conflicted Middle Eastern regions for more than a decade. It began its formal examination into Afghanistan in November 2017. According to the press release, although judges believe there is "a reasonable basis" to suspect that crimes occurred, right now the political and social state of Afghanistan "make the prospects for a successful investigation and prosecution extremely limited." "Accordingly, it is unlikely that pursuing an investigation would result in meeting the objectives listed by the victims favoring the investigation," the press release continued. The press release also stressed that the constantly changing political situation in Afghanistan makes it any sort of investigation a waste of resources, at the present moment. "The Chamber noted the time elapsed since the opening of the preliminary examination in 2006 and the political changing scene in Afghanistan since then, the lack of cooperation that the Prosecutor has received and which is likely to go scarcer should an investigation be authorized hampering the chances of successful investigation and prosecution, as well as the need for the Court to use its resources prioritizing activities that would have better chances to succeed," the press release said...   https://freebeacon.com/national-security/icc-rejects-war-crimes-investigation-request/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=791d1ad16e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_12_07_18_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-791d1ad16e-45611665

The Assange Arrest

Political Editors:  “WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was forcibly bundled out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and into a waiting British police van on Thursday,” reports the Associated Press, “setting up a potential court battle over attempts to extradite him to the U.S. to face charges related to the publication of tens of thousands of secret government documents.” He was “arrested on behalf of the United States authorities,” London police said, and the U.S. quickly filed charges of conspiracy to disclose classified information.

Assange has spent the last seven years hiding away in Ecuador’s embassy, but evidently, President Lenin Moreno had had enough. “The discourteous and aggressive behavior of Mr. Julian Assange, the hostile and threatening declarations of its allied organization, against Ecuador, and especially the transgression of international treaties, have led the situation to a point where the asylum of Mr. Assange is unsustainable and no longer viable,” Moreno said.

In 2010, info anarchist Assange conspired with U.S. Army PFC Bradley Manning (now “Chelsea” after his taxpayer-funded gender reassignment while he was in prison for treason) to dump 750,000 purloined classified U.S. military documents on the Web. It was the most significant intelligence compromise in United States history, but Barack Obama, as a gift to his constituents  suffering from chronic gender dysphoria, actually  commuted Manning’s sentence just before departing office in January of 2017 — one of the most inexcusable actions of scumbag/liar-nObama’s tenure. Astoundingly, emboldened by that commutation, in 2018 Manning mounted a run for Senate in Maryland.

Assange’s WikiLeaks was also involved in the 2016 release of hacked DNC emails, which was timed “to heighten their impact on the 2016 presidential election” and was allegedly coordinated with Russian military intelligence. That was a topic of interest in the Mueller investigation, now concluded and on life support. That connection to 2016 means Assange is one or all of three things: a bright, shiny distraction from Bob Barr’s spy statement, the opening salvo of the Great Russia Collusion Correction, or a peace offering from the Brits. One thing’s for sure: Donald Trump will not be commuting any future conviction and sentence Assange receives.  ~The Patriot Post

{ dailycaller.com } ~ An attorney representing a White House civil servant being scrutinized by the House Oversight Committee wants... the security clearance applications of senior scumbag/liar-nObama White House staff including Valerie Jarrett, Jay Carney and Ben Rhodes. The White House security application of National Action Network President scumbag-Al Sharpton was also requested. House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan and Ranking Member of the Government Operations Subcommittee Mark Meadows sent a letter Friday to Committee Chair scumbag-Elijah Cummings to redirect his security clearance process investigation to the previous badministration. According to Jordan and Meadows, Rhodes — a former senior national security and foreign policy advisor for the scumbag/liar-nObama administration — received a high-level security clearance “despite a questionable background investigation that may have led the FBI to deny him an interim clearance.”  The Republican Congressmen wrote:  Mr. Driscoll’s request to you is an opportunity to prove that you are not using the Committee to target the President or his senior advisors. We understand that senior officials in the previous administration may have had problems with regard to their security clearance applications. According to public reports, Ben Rhodes, a former senior national security and foreign policy advisor in the previous administration, obtained a high-level clearance despite a questionable background investigation that may have led the Federal Bureau of Investigation to deny him an interim clearance. Similar troublesome issues also may have plagued the clearance process for former senior advisor Valerie Jarrett, among others...

We’re Giving ‘Strong Considerations’ to

by David Rutz  
{ freebeacon.com } ~ President Donald Trump tweeted Friday that his administration was giving "strong considerations" to release detained illegal immigrants into sanctuary cities... saying such a maneuver would make liberals who support open borders "very happy." His announcement followed a Thursday Washington Post report that the White House had considered such a proposal, which included statements given to the Post by the White House and Department of Homeland Security that such an idea had been considered and quickly rejected. "Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to change our very dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only," Trump wrote. "The Radical Left always seems to have an Open Borders, Open Arms policy – so this should make them very happy!" The Post reported Trump's White House had suggested moving detained illegal immigrants to the small- and mid-sized cities at least twice in the past six months, with Speaker Nancy Pulosi's (D., Calif.) San Francisco congressional district among the possible locations. According to the report, acting Immigrations and Custom Enforcement (ICE) Director Matthew Albence opposed the idea when deputy director in November after senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller spoke to ICE about it. Trump has been a strong critic of so-called "catch-and-release" laws; under the current system, detainees can go where they please after being processed and released but have to tell the government their address. With migrants crossing the border in increasing numbers, the U.S. asylum system is at risk of being overwhelmed...

{ freebeacon.com } ~  released a video on Thursday attacking Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) for his recent admission that he was a "millionaire."... commie-Sanders, who is running for president again,   acknowledged earlier this week in an interview with the New York Times that he was a millionaire and said, "If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too." ThinkProgress, a liberal news site and  editorially independent project of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, released a video on their Youtube page called, "commie-Bernie's millionaire problem." The video said that commie-Sanders has been railing against "millionaires and billionaires" for several years and then showed multiple clips of commie-Sanders referencing them. The video referenced how commie-Sanders "slightly tweaked" his rhetoric following his 2016 presidential run when his book royalties made him a millionaire. ThinkProgress proceeded to show a line graph of commie-Sanders's income based on his financial disclosure forms and how he stopped attacking millionaires after his book, Our Revolution, was released in November 2016, making him a millionaire. Instead of attacking millionaires and billionaires, the video shows him only going after billionaires and multi-millionaires in one case. Waleed Shahid, the spokesperson of Justice Democrats and a former commie-Sanders staffer, slammed the video as "embarrassing," adding that he was "very confused."...

Seeking Israel From the Left

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Israel has always been a Rorschach test for the left, Susie Linfield argues in her new book about intellectuals' writings on the first decades of the Jewish home state. And she's right... if not quite in the way she may have intended the metaphor. Yes, Israel is like a Rorschach test, in the sense that many people over the 60 years of the country's existence have seen in its abstract representation some strange specificity wrought by their own fervid imagination. But Israel is like a Rorschach test in another and more important way. Something disturbing is revealed when the symmetrical inkblots of a Rorschach test provoke descriptions of violence and hatred. And something just as disturbing is revealed when the image of Israel provokes ferocious anger and unrelenting hostility. Which it does, for a large percentage of the left these days. In her introduction and conclusion, Linfield points out that Israel was created by people who were often socialists, and it enjoyed considerable support among leftists in the West into the 1960s. But somehow, these days, Israel faces a violent antipathy from the left. An important task for historians lies in exploring how that reversal came about. Linfield, a journalism professor at NYU, is a self-proclaimed leftist worried about the ways in which anti-Zionism has led to a surge of anti-Semitism. And yet, despite her interest in the question of why the left has rejected Israel, she attempts something different in The Lions' Den. In essence, she attacks the premise. Examining the work of prior generations of prominent intellectuals and journalists, The Lions' Den suggests that Israel has always provoked strange notions in intellectuals...  https://freebeacon.com/culture/seeking-israel-from-the-left/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=791d1ad16e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_12_07_18_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-791d1ad16e-45611665

Enough: Democrats Need 
to Do Something About Ilhan Omar
by restoreamericanglory.com:  Since arriving in Congress, Muslim Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar has done little else but make anti-Semitic remarks, accuse other lawmakers of being paid off to support Israel, and generally make a bigoted ass out of herself... But with her latest remarks, Omar has gone too far. When you are a sitting congresswoman who thinks it is fine to downplay and dismiss the worst terrorist attack to ever land on American soil, sorry, but you’ve gotta go. If Democrats remain silent on this latest outrage, they will demonstrate to the country that it is that they are every bit as un-American as their most strident critics have said.At a Council on American-Islamic Relations fundraiser in March, Omar waxed fondly about the founding of CAIR – an organization which has, by the way, been identified as a major funding source for the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. That she was even at such a fundraiser would be enough to raise questions about her own “dual loyalty,” if we were inclined to play Omar’s game. But it was what she said, and how she said it, that has sparked outrage among Republicans, military veterans, and anyone who remembers the fateful day of September 11, 2001. “CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something, and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties,” Omar said. Really? “Some people did something?” That’s how you choose to describe the event that destroyed two of our most enduring buildings, took down four commercial jets, put a gaping hole in the side of the Pentagon, and killed 2,996 people? What kind of monster are you?... She got to go along with her Muslim friends and commie-AOC.

Jordan Peterson on Why Socialism Is Attractive

Political Editors:  Excerpts of Jordan Peterson’s remarks in a discussion he had with The Daily Signal’s Genevieve Wood:

It’s easy to understand why people are emotionally drawn to the ideals of socialism, let’s say the left, because it draws its fundamental motivational source from a primary compassion that is always there in human beings, and so that proclivity for sensitivity to that political message will never go away. It’s important to understand that. You have to give the devil his due, unfortunately.

The problem with the radical left is that it assumes that all hierarchies are tyrannical, and it makes no distinction between them. And that’s an absolute catastrophe because there’s plenty of sins on the conscience of the West as a civilization. But we can’t throw the baby out with the bathwater, and there are far worse places. … People also don’t understand that, and they also don’t understand this is something that’s of particular importance.

They also don’t understand … the knowledge of how rapidly we’re making economic improvements around the world, in the developing world, for example, how fast that’s happening. That is not well distributed knowledge, that between the year 2000 and the year 2012, the rate of absolute poverty in the world fell by 50%.

I am not a fan of the radical left. And I understand the motivations on the radical left, both on the postmodernist end and on the more Marxist end. Because of that, I’m a relatively effective critic, and that makes me very unpopular. And that’s fine because … because what people are being taught, that’s emerged from that brand of absurd and surreal philosophy, is of no utility as a guiding light to anyone.

It’s a catastrophe to take young people in their formative years, when they’re trying to catalyze their adult identity, and to tear the substructure out from underneath them and leave them bereaved. I do believe that that’s what the universities—on the humanities end, and to some degree on the social science end—fundamentally manage to achieve.

I don’t admire that. I think there’s something deeply sadistic about that. There’s something deeply anti-human about that, and it presents itself in the guise of moral virtue, which makes it even worse. Well, that’s why people don’t like me.  ~The Patriot Post

{ dailysignal.com } ~ President Donald Trump’s executive order to expedite oil and natural gas pipelines could spark another legal battle against Democratic New York Gov. idiot-Andrew Cuomo’s administration... Trump pulled no punches against New York when he signed executive orders to expedite pipeline projects Wednesday afternoon. The move sparked a sharp rebuke from idiot-Cuomo, who threatened to fight “tooth and nail” against permitting reforms.“We need help with New York,” Trump said Wednesday at an International Union of Operating Engineers’ training center near Houston. “New York is hurting the country because they’re not allowing us to get those pipelines through, and that’s why they’re paying so much for their heating and all of the things that energy and our energy produces,” Trump said. “So hopefully they can come on board and get in line with what’s happening.” The orders are aimed at expediting oil and gas pipeline approvals, including asking the Environmental Protection Agency to update guidance regarding state permitting authority under the Clean Water Act. The goal here is to keep some states, like New York and Washington, from using the Clean Water Act permitting to kill major energy projects. Trump specifically called out New York’s blocking of the Constitution natural gas pipeline...

{ dailycaller.com } ~ When the Democrats’ ridiculous, fear-mongering “Rise of White Nationalism” hearing blew up in their faces, liberals went looking for a scapegoat: me... My mere presence at the hearing turned a “serious inquiry” into a “farce,” according to Dana Milbank, the arch-liberal columnist at the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post.“Serious inquiry?” What a joke. That hearing was a farce from the very beginning; all I did was expose it for what it was. The entire exercise was nothing but the opening salvo of the Democrats’ 2020 election strategy, which involves getting minority voters to the polls with a combination of fear and bribery — using the specter of “white nationalism” to smear Republicans while Democrats call for “reparations” in the form of government handouts. It was a cynical, condescending attempt to mislead black voters, and while the Democrats had a whole panel of left-wing identity politics activists and social media executives to help them, only Zionist Organization of America leader Mort Klein and I were on hand to counter their deceptions. We had our work cut out for us, even with the very conspicuous absence of representatives from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The SPLC scammed its way to a half-billion dollar fortune by stoking racial fears among minorities, making a business out of willfully smearing conservative Christians and immigration restrictionists as “hate groups” on par with the Ku Klux Klan...

‘Something Wrong’ When House Must

{ dailysignal.com } ~ A South Carolina lawmaker says it is unconscionable that legislation to force a House vote on medical care for babies who survive abortion is so controversial.... “Something’s wrong in America when we’re dealing with this and having to even debate this,” Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., said on the sixth installment, published Thursday, of a new podcast from the House Freedom Caucus. Using a procedural tactic know as a discharge petition, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo., and other pro-life lawmakers are trying to force a floor vote on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. The legislation would require medical professionals to give the same care to a baby who survives an abortion as they would to any other baby of the same age, as well as to take the baby to a hospital. The liberal Left continue to push their radical agenda against American values. If an abortion doctor intentionally kills a baby who was born alive, he or she would face fines or up to five years in jail, according to Scalise and Wagner. “Right now we’re hovering around 200 signatures on that thing,” Rep. Jody Hice, R-Ga., host of the podcast, said of the petition. “We’re trying to use this discharge petition to put Democrats on record about where they stand on the issue of infanticide and letting babies die after they survive an abortion.”...

{ dailycaller.com } ~ Migrants staged a riot at an immigration station in Tapachula, Mexico early Wednesday morning, multiple Mexican media outlets reported... The group of migrants, mostly from Cuba and Africa, staged the riot to prevent authorities from carrying out deportations, Mexican media outlets Noticias MVS, Milenio and Reforma  reported.The migrants reportedly ransacked the building and set some documents on fire before authorities were able to regain control. Video from the riot’s aftermath shows authorities milling around outside the building, trying to corral the migrant population. Tapachula sits near Mexico’s southern border with Guatemala, making it a pressure point in the ongoing immigration crisis. Tapachula’s immigration station has been the site of ongoing protests from migrants and activists over alleged mistreatment and poor living conditions. The day before the riot, dozens of African migrants reportedly blocked the gate leading in and out of the immigration center, in protest of poor living conditions and inattention from authorities...

Unreal: commie-AOC Tells Dan Crenshaw

{townhall.com} ~ Democratic Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s response to Republican colleague Rep. Dan Crenshaw (Texas) drew the ire of conservatives... for telling the former Navy SEAL he should “go do something” about terrorism. Crenshaw had initially commented that Omar was the “First member of Congress to ever describe terrorists who killed thousands of Americans on 9/11 as ‘some people who did something,’” which he called “unbelievable.” Quick to defend her friend, the New York lawmaker accused Crenshaw of taking Omar’s remarks out of context and attacked him for not co-sponsoring the 9/11 Victim’s Compensation Fund. “You refuse to cosponsor the 9/11 Victim’s Compensation Fund, yet have the audacity to drum resentment towards Ilhan w/completely out-of-context quotes,” she said. “In 2018, right-wing extremists were behind almost ALL US domestic terrorist killings. Why don’t you go do something about that?” As you can imagine, many on Twitter did not take kindly to commie-AOC bashing a decorated war veteran this way...

No Holds Barr: Spying Did Occur Against Trump

Thomas Gallatin:  During a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing Wednesday, Attorney General William Barr finally called a spade a spade. He responded to a question posed by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) regarding the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Donald Trump’s campaign, saying, “I think spying did occur.” Barr continued, “But the question is whether it was adequately predicated, and I am not suggesting that it wasn’t adequately predicated… I am not suggesting those rules were violated, but I think it is important to look at that. And I am not talking about the FBI necessarily, but intelligence agencies more broadly.”

Barr then noted, “I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal. It’s a big deal.”

It is a big deal, which is why Democrats immediately attacked Barr’s credibility. House Speaker Nancy Pulosi led the way, grousing, “I don’t trust Barr. I trust dirty cop-Mueller.” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer charged, “[Barr] is acting as an employee of the president. I believe the attorney general believes he needs to protect the president of the United States.”

House Intelligence Committee Chairman scumbag-Adam Schiff — the man currently in hot water for notoriously claiming to have evidence that Trump was guilty of Russian collusion while producing none — offered this downright laughable response: Barr “should not casually suggest that those under his purview engaged in spying on a political campaign,” scumbag-Schiff lectured. “This type of partisan talking point may please Donald Trump, who rails against a deep-state coup, but it also strikes another destructive blow to our democratic institutions.” Please.

The fact of the matter is that the FBI admitted to spying, as has been documented via the FISA warrants for surveillance of members of Trump’s campaign — specifically Carter Page. The only reason the Democrats are so up in arms over Barr’s use of the term “spying” is that in common parlance it evokes more sinister imagery. However, what Democrats are actually more worried about is that Barr is doing what any good AG would do — investigating the investigators to determine whether they were justified in their actions. He’s begun to turn the tables on the Democrats’ longrunning anti-Trump narrative, which could prove that the Washington establishment engaged in a coordinated effort to oppose Trump from the get-go.  ~The Patriot Post

{spectator.org} ~ This week before the Senate Appropriations Committee Attorney General William Barr gave testimony that is guaranteed to induce panic throughout the D.C. swamp... Regarding spying on Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, he testified as follows: ATTORNEY GENERAL BARR: As I said in my confirmation hearing, I am going to be reviewing both the genesis and the conduct of intelligence activities directed at the Trump campaign during 2016. And a lot of this has already been investigated, and a substantial portion of it has been investigated and is being investigated by the office of the Inspector General, but one of the things I want to do is pull everything together from the various investigations that have gone on, including on the Hill and in the Justice Department, and see if there are any remaining questions to be addressed. SEN. JEANNE SHAHEEN (D., NH): And can you share with us why you feel a need to do that? BARR: Well, you know, for the same reason we’re worried about foreign influence in elections, we want to make sure that during elections — I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal. It’s a big deal. The generation I grew up in, which is the Vietnam War period, people were all concerned about spying on anti-war people and so forth by the government, and there were a lot of rules put in place to make sure that there’s an adequate basis before our law enforcement agencies get involved in political surveillance. I’m not suggesting that those rules were violated but I think it’s important to look at that. and I’m not talking about the FBI necessarily, but intelligence agencies more broadly...

by Virginia Kruta
{ dailycaller.com } ~ The Trump administration’s discussion of a plan to drop illegal migrants off in sanctuary cities met with an unexpected pushback Thursday... from some of the most vocal advocates of laxer immigration laws. According to a Washington Post report published Thursday, the White House approached Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at least twice to propose that illegal border-crossers be transported to sanctuary cities. The idea was initially floated by White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, who suggested that it would take some of the strain off the overcrowded detention centers while sending a message to sanctuary cities — most of which are controlled by opponents of the president’s immigration policies. ICE called the proposal “inappropriate,” and argued that it could present a public relations problem. In a surprise move, a fair number of liberals sided with ICE. And some of them suddenly appeared to be concerned that a rapid influx of illegal migrants might actually pose some of the threats Trump has been claiming it would. Actress Alyssa Milano, who has long been an advocate for fewer restrictions on migrant families, called the move “sick and twisted.”...

In the meantime, people really want to know what’s in it. I’m going to give you the top-line conclusions.’ That’s all he was trying to do.”  Rosenstein called on the public to have “tremendous confidence” in Barr and declined to comment on how the review of the report was going.Fox News writes: Rosenstein, 54, told the Wall Street Journal he hopes to begin a new job toward the end of the summer. Earlier this year, Trump announced he will nominate Jeff Rosen to replace Rosenstein deputy attorney general. President Trump has threatened to fire Rosenstein, who said he stayed in his position at the Department of Justice “at Barr’s request” saying, “For me, it’s a real privilege.”...  https://bongino.com/rosenstein-defends-barrs-handling-of-mueller-report/

{ saraacarter.com } ~ As Democrats prepare to introduce ‘No Ban Act’ legislation  to end what they say is President Donald Trump’s racist Muslim ban... they should take a moment to read the new Government Accountability Office report issued Thursday. It shows that under President scumbag/liar-nObama the travel ban rate for security reasons in 2015 was 16 times higher than under Trump in 2017 based on the one year data that was available to GAO. It also indicates a very significant finding: that the Trump administration’s executive orders not only did not increase its refusal rate -for terrorism and security related reasons- but it was 20 times lower than scumbag/liar-nObama for the respective years studied in the report.“GAO’s analysis indicates that, out of the nearly 2.8 million NIV applications refused in fiscal year 2017, 1,338 applications were refused specifically due to visa entry restrictions implemented per the executive actions,” stated the report. In fact, the nonimmigrant visa refusal rate rose under scumbag/liar-nObama’s tenure from about “14 percent in fiscal year 2012 to about 22 percent in fiscal year 2016, and remained about the same in fiscal year 2017; averaging about 18 percent over the time period,” according to the report. “The total number of NIVs issued peaked in fiscal year 2015 at about 10.89 million, before falling in fiscal years 2016 and 2017 to 10.38 million and 9.68 million, respectively.” For example, in 2015, “CBP data showed that it identified and interdicted over 22,000 high-risk air travelers through these programs” according to the most recent data available at the time of GAO’s report it stated...   https://saraacarter.com/gao-report-travel-ban-rate-under-obama-was-16-times-higher-than-trump/?utm_source=Darkwire+Inc&utm_campaign=d19557846f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_03_23_12_11_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_5f3d745e4f-d19557846f-283256057

Tyranny, Oppression, Death and Destruction: 
The end products of democratic socialism

{ canadafreepress.com } ~ The rise of socialists like commie-Bernie Sanders and commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, within the godless Democrat party, should concern all Americans, especially Christians and religious Jews... Why any American, in their right mind, would vote for a socialist politician is puzzling. Maybe people just don’t know the history of socialism; its crimes against humanity. Maybe it’s because academia has confused people with misleading definitions of the various forms of socialism.  To set the record straight, socialism in any form is a dystopia devoid of Freedom, Liberty and Justice. It doesn’t matter if it’s called liberalism, progressivism or a democracy because these words are used by socialists to obscure the true nature of their tyrannical communist ideology. The word democracy, that politicians and the media like to throw in our faces every day, is nothing more than a euphemism for socialism. Even the Naz’s referred to their form of socialism as a democracy. Speech to the representatives of the international press at Geneva on September 28. 1933 Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda, stated: “The modern structure of the German state is a higher form of democracy in which, by virtue of the people’s mandate, the government is exercised authoritatively.”  Authoritatively, when used by socialists, means without question or recourse. That means there’s no higher authority or power. There’s no God, No Justice, No Freedom and No Liberty, and there’s no room for people who believe in a higher power or God’s laws. Unfortunately, many American’s have been misled to believe that socialism is a fairer form of Government; a benevolent paradise. However, history reveals that socialism is more like a prison for the masses. To be exact, socialism is a system where misery and deprivation are shared by the masses, and wealth, power and abundance are only shared by the rich tyrants who run the socialist state...   https://canadafreepress.com/article/tyranny-oppression-death-and-destruction-the-end-products-of-democratic-soc

Facing Down Russia and China on the 
African Front
P15E6BsJ4aig_yB2-liv_A2TIofg0npPTBDQ34QDSSmGhuIsRpKPI3zto4az7kgJDUZvEKMRIytIAggh57UMzjqp2I2wO2zNmKQSQuHvARZRdukefq12MsWIW5n4rnGG9EL_calRsSV7m4n0y6XAG1EIHKwRPodkZYejIdU=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Harold Hutchison:  When we think of confronting Russia and China, the usual places we think of those confrontations taking place are either Europe or the Pacific. But the real conflicts are happening someplace few might expect: Africa.
 

This might sound surprising to many who are familiar with the usual stories of starving children. It is true — many countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, probably fit a certain scatological descriptive term allegedly uttered by President Donald Trump last year. But there is more to Africa than meets the eye.

One big issue: There are a lot of natural resources on and under that continent. Among them are gold (important for the obvious reasons), diamonds (also obviously important), uranium (for nuclear power and nuclear weapons), coal (for energy), and iron (which can be turned into steel for ships, tanks, and other items). And according to MiningAfrica.net, much of Africa’s natural resources are untapped.

China and Russia are greedily eyeing those natural resources. The ChiComs need the resources to propel an economy with more than one billion people. Russia, with its own wealth of natural resources, is going after it for pocketbook reasons: As we explained when discussing the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, American natural-gas exports shrink the Russian portion of the pie.

The more of the market share of natural gas, oil, or minerals, Russia controls, the easier it is for Vladimir Putin to not only rake in the money, but to also use it as leverage. China had the ability to do the same with rare-earth minerals, until Japan found a motherlode around Marcus Island.

China has been very active in Africa, pushing the so-called “One Belt, One Road” strategy. According to The Daily Signal, China has used debt racked up by countries like Zambia and Djibouti to extract concessions, including the expansion of military bases. Russia has turned to exporting arms in exchange for votes in the United Nations.

National Security Advisor John Bolton, who revealed the new strategy in an event at The Heritage Foundation, pointed out that the Russian and Chinese actions “stunt economic growth in Africa; threaten the financial independence of African nations; inhibit opportunities for U.S. investment; interfere with U.S. military operations; and pose a significant threat to U.S. national security interests.”

The good news is that President Trump has unveiled a new strategy to counter these moves and help get sub-Saharan Africa out from under the thumb of dictators in Moscow and Beijing. According to The Daily Signal, the three-pronged strategy includes enhancing commercial ties, countering radical Islamic terrorism, and taking steps to make the foreign aid we provide effective and efficient.

The fact of the matter is that America has largely ignored sub-Saharan Africa — not out of malice but due to the fact that between the Cold War and the War on Terror, there were bigger fish to fry. But now, Africa is becoming a key geopolitical battleground, and it’s time for America to get on the field.  ~The Patriot Post

Chesimard is the first woman to make the FBI’s list. The New Jersey State Police Dept., which also wants her, added another $1 million to the pot. You see, amigos, convicted killer of a New Jersey State Trooper and bona-fide "domestic terrorist" Chesimard (Assata Shakur) has been living in Cuba since 1984 as a Castro-coddled celebrity. But it’s not like bounty hunters can operate freely in a Stalinist country. So the $2 million was probably for show. scumbag/liar-nObama’s Justice Dept. was probably putting on a game face and saying, "Look Castro, we’re serious here! You better turn Shakur over, or…or--or ELSE!” Or else WHAT? Well we know the answer to that: or else we’ll take you off the State Dept’s list of terror sponsors...

{ westernjournal.com } ~ Democrats assure us they’re committed to women’s well-being. In fact, the first sentence on the Democratic National Committee’s “Women” page reads... “we are committed to ensuring full equality for women.” But now women are facing the brutal reality of full equality, thanks to H.R.5, the Equality Act bill. The bill aims to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include protections for sexual orientation and gender identity. If made into law, this would open female athletic teams at public schools to transgender females — people otherwise known as men. Every House Democrat but one has co-sponsored the bill. The lone left-leaning holdout is Rep. Dan Lipinski. Defending his actions in a statement to Roll Call, Lipinski said the bill would have potentially “damaging and unforeseen consequences for Americans’ religious freedom.” Surprisingly, two Republicans also co-sponsored the bill. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick and Rep. John Katko joined the ranks of Democrats in their support of the act. Don’t be fooled by the flowery wording of the bill and its promises of equality. It would do nothing but gut women’s sports and shred the confidence of any budding female athlete in the process. As we’ve seen before, transgenders crossing over into the sports of the opposite sex can result in “competition” that is so nonexistent, it’s almost hilarious...

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Mohammed Safi, 27, is the latest victim of Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist movement that has been controlling the Gaza Strip since 2007... While voters in Israel were heading to the ballot boxes to elect a new parliament, Safi, who is from the town of Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip, is reported to have lost his eyesight while being held in a Hamas prison. His crime: participation in demonstrations calling for an end to the economic crisis in the Gaza Strip and protesting new taxes imposed by the Hamas rulers. The protests -- held under the banner "We Want to Live!" -- were the first anti-Hamas demonstrations of their kind in many years. Thousands of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip took to the streets during the protests and called for solutions to their horrific economic morass, including soaring unemployment and the skyrocketing cost of living. Safi was among the Palestinians who decided that they had had enough of the brutal and corrupt regime of Hamas. Like most men at his age, he wanted his Hamas leaders to do something to improve their living conditions. They wanted an end to repression and dictatorship. They wanted their leaders to offer them hope instead of sending them to fire rockets at Israel and demonstrate violently at the Gaza-Israel border. It now seems that Safi will never live literally to see Hamas removed from power. He will not live literally to see an improvement of living conditions and the economy in the Gaza Strip...

{ dailycaller.com } ~ A second former aide to Sen. Maggie Hassan is implicated in former IT staffer Jackson Cosko’s massive data-theft scheme... that was ultimately used to “intimidate” Republican senators by “doxxing” them during a confirmation hearing for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, prosecutors said. Samantha G. DeForest-Davis, at the time a staff assistant to Hassan, was the aide who allegedly helped Cosko conduct his scheme, a source with knowledge of the situation told The Daily Caller News Foundation. Court records show a case naming her has been opened, and the source confirmed it relates to her alleged role in the data theft. She filed an affidavit that can be used to assess her eligibility for a public defender, but she has not been charged with any crimes, court records show. Cosko pleaded guilty April 5 to masterminding what prosecutors said was “an extraordinarily extensive data-theft scheme, copying entire network drives, sorting and organizing sensitive data, and exploring ways to use that data to his benefit.” He admitted to stealing tens of thousands of documents and emails from Hassan’s office, in addition to credit card information and Social Security numbers belonging to Senate employees. The data also included a master list of senators’ private information that Cosko posted to Wikipedia out of “anger” at Republicans during the Supreme Court nomination hearings, prosecutors said...   https://dailycaller.com/2019/04/09/hassan-staffer-doxx-kavanaugh/

{msn.com} ~ The man at Mount Sinai died after 90 days in the hospital, but C. Auris did not. Tests showed it was everywhere in his room... so invasive that the hospital needed special cleaning equipment and had to rip out some of the ceiling and floor tiles to eradicate it.  “Everything was positive — the walls, the bed, the doors, the curtains, the phones, the sink, the whiteboard, the poles, the pump,” said Dr. Scott Lorin, the hospital’s president. “The mattress, the bed rails, the canister holes, the window shades, the ceiling, everything in the room was positive.” C. Auris is so tenacious, in part, because it is impervious to major antifungal medications, making it a new example of one of the world’s most intractable health threats: the rise of drug-resistant infections. For decades, public health experts have warned that the overuse of antibiotics was reducing the effectiveness of drugs that have lengthened life spans by curing bacterial infections once commonly fatal. But lately, there has been an explosion of resistant fungi as well, adding a new and frightening dimension to a phenomenon that is undermining a pillar of modern medicine...

No, White-Supremacist Violence Is Not a Major Problem
j56ODc7oH3pAB3VWV7qpE7x3eH8wYj0IGSKD8YHcqhZdOLkj0WCuotQhVWq1-wtUrlLSSGkiVjvzPUUwEX28HNfUf3n3X9N81Ho48AvgjDxA4FG2fhTQypHnu6Q1rZvuVHJnFBd6EHM56NZ3NbCNeJtEnOQcIF0HxKS8S2Y=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Political Editors:  On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing that Democrats billed as an examination of “hate crimes, the impact white nationalist groups have on American communities, and the spread of white identity ideology.” It quickly became quite evident that the Democrats’ true intention for the hearing was to promote the mendacious narrative that “white extremism” is a major and growing problem — and President Donald Trump is supposedly the driving force behind it.

In a seemingly coordinated effort to advance this narrative, The New York Times last week ran an article  claiming that “Attacks by White Extremists Are Growing.” The story highlighted the attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, where a self-proclaimed white supremacist murdered 50 people in an act of terror aimed at Muslims. The article then claimed that the Christchurch murderer “drew inspiration” from “an informal global network of white extremists whose violent attacks are occurring with greater frequency in the West.”

Once again we have a case of the narrative leading the story. It’s clear that the narrative the Times is pushing is that violence perpetrated by white supremacists is a serious and growing threat that is worse than people may believe. But do the facts support such a conclusion? Well, as is often the case with Leftmedia outlets like the Times, not so much.

The Times excluded several important contextualizing details, which immediately calls into question the reliability of the entire narrative. For example, no numbers were provided so as to establish the total number of extremist-related violent incidents globally. In 2017 alone, nearly 20,000 people were murdered by groups associated with radical Islamic extremists — a number not provided by the Times.

Meanwhile, the Times offers a nine-year timeline that notes 15 incidents of “white extremist” violence resulting in 194 people killed that were purportedly committed by individuals motivated by white racism. However, after a closer look into these attacks, one quickly finds that the motive of “white extremism” is not entirely clear … or even there at all.

As Seth Barron, writing for City Journal, observes, “Some of the most prominent killings … resist categorization as acts of white racial terror. Ali Sonboly, the son of Iranian Shi'ite Muslim immigrants and visibly a racial minority, carried out the 2016 Munich mall shooting. The 2016 Umpqua Community College shooting was carried out by a self-identified ‘mixed-race’ man, as was the 2014 Isla Vista massacre, whose perpetrator believed that being half-Chinese made him unattractive to women. The 2018 Toronto van massacre was perpetrated by a white man who declared that he was part of an ‘Incel Rebellion’ against the ‘Chads and Stacys’ of the world — in other words, he was angry that he could not get a girlfriend and was committed to overthrowing the ‘beautiful people.’ The killer mowed down pedestrians in Toronto’s business district at random. The Times’ inclusion of these four incidents calls into question the value of its diagnosis of ‘white extremist killers.’”

Finally, as The Wall Street Journal reports, “Since 1990, far-right extremists have killed 477 people in 214 attacks in the U.S., according to the crime data. A majority of the assaults targeted minorities, with 241 people dying in 170 attacks. (In the same period, the Global Terrorism Database records 31 far-right attacks with one or more deaths.)” In other words, violent attacks committed by “white extremists” are not on the rise — rather, the frequency of these violent hate crimes has remained relatively steady for the past 50 years. In any case, the crimes are dwarfed by attacks perpetrated by Islamofascists.  ~The Patriot Post

{ thefederalist.com } ~ Not long ago, CNN and MSNBC, along with everyone from The New York Times and Washington Post to Bloomberg and Brookings, cited 18 U.S. Code 371 as a legal statute President Trump had possibly violated... This  conspiracy statute is broad and deals with two or more individuals who conspire “to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose.” After two years of a dirty cop-Mueller probe started by leaked memos from scumbag-James Comey, and investigations fostered by a debunked dossier purchased by scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton and Democrats, 18 U.S. Code 371 can ironically be used against those who investigated President Trump, without evidence he or anyone around him committed crimes associated with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) hack. As for the alleged hacking, The Daily Beast’s Kevin Paulson wrote “Both the DNC and the security firm Crowdstrike, hired to respond to the breach, have said repeatedly over the years that they gave the FBI a copy of all the DNC images back in 2016.” Since the U.S. government never analyzed DNC servers in order to confirm the accuracy of Crowdstrike’s copies, and the DNC hired  Crowdstrike, there’s an obvious conflict of interest in trusting a firm outsourced by Democrats. Like the Steele dossier, Americans were forced to take the “word” of people linked to Democratic Party funding that Russia had something on Trump, and that only endless investigations would put the allegations to rest. With the dirty cop-Mueller probe done and no further indictments on the horizon, along with the fact no evidence was found of Trump colluding with Russia hence, no further indictments, President scumbag/liar-nObama’s FBI officials now face a litany of criminal referrals from Rep. Devin Nunes and other Republicans. In addition to leaking classified memos and lying to Congress, conspiracy charges will be one aspect...   https://thefederalist.com/2019/04/12/comey-mccabe-charged-conspiracy-defraud-americans/?utm_source=The+Federalist+List&utm_campaign=92535cfe73-RSS_The_Federalist_Daily_Updates_w_Transom&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_cfcb868ceb-92535cfe73-83771801

Sicko, Southern Border-Style

{ americanthinker.com } ~ Sicko is one of Michael Moore’s many movies, focusing on the U.S. health care system, costs, the uninsured, and the usual liberal talking points... Despite his many criticisms of U.S. health care, when Moore was sick with pneumonia, he chose hospitalization in a New York City hospital rather than in one of those countries with a supposedly far better health care system, say, Cuba. He could make a sequel to Sicko, this time focusing on the southern border of the U.S. and the hordes of sick men, women, and children invading America, bringing all sorts of exotic diseases on top of the many other problems they bring, including crime. These diseases are making many Americans sicko. It’s more than simply lice or scabies, annoying conditions, but hardly a mortal threat to Americans. Instead it’s contagious diseases that we haven’t heard much about in decades or since many of us were afflicted as children. These diseases are making the news, but as predictable as sunrise and sunset, the media and government officials are at a loss to explain the resurgence of these mostly once-eradicated conditions. Much as when a swarthy young man enters a gay nightclub in the U.S. shouting 'Allahu Akbar!' and shoots the place up, the media and law enforcement are puzzled for days as to motive. Same with the appearance of these resurgent contagious diseases. Temple University in Philadelphia had a mumps outbreak, now at 140 cases. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported the story nonchalantly, avoiding their namesake with zero inquiry as to the cause and origin of this outbreak. Nearby  University of Pennsylvania had three cases of mumps on campus with no explanation as to why...
Leftism: A Warped Reflection of Christianity

{ americanthinker.com } ~ As the long conga line of Democrats prepare for their chance at the Presidency, not since the American Civil War has the country been so divided on critical issues as it is right now... Moreover, although Democrat Socialists, aka leftists, say the country is in a mess, they don't seem too concerned with the traditional topics of taxes, military spending, and balanced budgets. They are, however, very focused on trying to demonstrate what a bad person they think Trump is and how righteously superior they think they are.  Listening to Democratic candidates lecture Americans on morality regarding a border wall or the sanctity of sanctuary cities their campaign rhetoric sounds more like a religious movement than a political position. It is rather apparent that the left is entirely void of any economic plans or international policies. Instead, it has resorted to becoming pseudo-preachers of a quasi-socialist religion, sounding more sanctimonious by the day. So the only questions Americans can ask themselves at this point is whether or not they want to remain a nation based on the belief in God and laws or a country based on faith in government and social justice? One of the biggest scams and tactical deceptions that leftists use to gain support from outsiders is the attempt to equate Christian teachings to their socialist policies. As if Christianity is more closely matched with the left's good socialist intentions rather than the God-centered Constitution. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, according to a February 2016 article on the Action Institute power blog, since the mid-1800s every Catholic pontiff from Pius IX to Benedict XVI has forthrightly condemned socialism. The American conservative sees God as the architect of everything and originator of man's freedom, and the view of government is limited to protecting those God-given gifts. Whereas the leftist sees government as a godlike idol and their role as the arbiters that control the allowances parted out to the masses -- two opposite ways of life with socialism utterly incompatible with Christianity on every level...
Stefanik Moves To Prevent 
scumbag-Comey-Era Spy Abuses At FBI

{thefederalist.com} ~ Elise Stefanik, a Republican lawmaker who sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, introduced legislation Wednesday... that would require the FBI director to promptly inform Congress when investigations of candidates for federal office are undertaken by federal law enforcement or intelligence authorities. Two years ago, when then-FBI Director scumbag-James Comey finally notified Congress that he’d opened up a counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign the previous year, some members were deeply troubled. Not only was the FBI director not supposed to hide his counterintelligence work from a key group of congressional members who receive his briefings, he was supposed to notify them in particular about politically sensitive probes. The legislation from Stefanik, a three-term representative from New York, addresses a loophole in current law that allowed scumbag-Comey to unilaterally withhold that information from key congressional oversight bodies. In a March 2016 hearing, scumbag-Comey admitted to Stefanik that he did not follow the typical protocols or procedures regarding notifying Congress about the opening of a counterintelligence investigation in part because he was not required to do so. Pressed to explain why he waited nine months to brief the leaders of the House and Senate intelligence committees, he admitted he was supposed to provide quarterly updates but had refused to do so regarding the Trump-Russia probe for the same reason many thought he should have done so. “I think our decision was, it was a matter of such sensitivity that we wouldn’t include it in the quarterly briefings,” he said...

AG William Barr Turns Focus on 
FBI’s Conduct During Russia Probe
by Shawn

{ fixthisnation.com } ~ Patriots all over the country have new reason to hope that justice will finally be served to those who participated in the hoax to bring down an American President... On Tuesday, a Trump administration official told Fox News that Attorney General William Barr was serious about getting to the bottom of the Russian collusion probe that saw the FBI send spies into the Trump campaign. Reportedly, Barr is assembling a “team” to look into the origins of the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation to determine if there was probable cause for the Bureau to launch what became a three-year ordeal. An ordeal that, at the end of the day, caught NOT A SINGLE Trump campaign associate in anything resembling collusion with a foreign government. The FBI has claimed, vaguely, that “Operation Crossfire Hurricane” was opened in the summer of 2016 after they received a tip that campaign associate George Papadopoulos was drunkenly running his mouth in a British pub. According to this tale, Papadopoulos told an Australian diplomat that Russia had possession of scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s missing emails, which would soon be publicly exposed for the benefit of Donald Trump. It goes underreported for obvious reasons that even if the Papadopoulos tale is true, what he actually said in that bar was nonsense. Russia may have hacked the DNC and gained access to those emails, but there was never any indication that they had access to scumbag/liar-Clinton’s private server – the one that caused her so much trouble throughout the campaign. These are two entirely separate issues. The media took full advantage of the “email” similarities, though, to make it sound as if Papadopoulos had inside knowledge about the DNC hack...

Thomas Gallatin:  “I wrote a best-selling book,” Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders boasted in a recent interview with The New York Times. Then in an ironic twist, the die-hard socialist gave a plug for capitalism when he added, “If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too.” Either Sanders is going senile or, as is the case with most hypocritical leftists, he sees no problem embracing the wealth and status he garnered for himself via capitalism, while at the same time condemning others for applying the same free-market system to earn their own wealth.

Back in the 1980s, commie-Sanders infamously said that breadlines were “a good thing.” Asked about his support for the Marxist Sandinistas of Nicaragua, commie-Sanders opined, “It’s funny — sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is, that people are lining up for food. That is a good thing! In other countries, people don’t line up for food. The rich get the food and the poor starve to death.” His policies would yield the equivalent of breadlines.

Meanwhile, commie-Sanders declared that he will be  releasing 10 years of his tax returns, giving away the game by declaring, “I hope that Donald Trump will do exactly the same.” Presumably, this is so socialist Sanders can attack capitalism for allowing a guy like Trump to become a wealthy man. It’s the pot — commie-Sanders, with his millions of dollars and three homes — smugly calling the kettle black.  ~The Patriot Post

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Despite growing threats of space warfare, the Pentagon's plan to create a new military branch called the Space Force faced tough questioning on Capitol Hill Thursday from both Republicans and Democrats... who voiced concerns about costs, increased bureaucracy, and impact on military readiness. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Sen. Jim Inhofe (R., Okla.) told a hearing of senior military and defense officials that future conflicts with Russia and China will involve attacks "from, in, and through space." "This would profoundly disrupt our society which is heavily dependent upon satellite communication, positioning, navigation and timing, and other vital space-based technology," he said. "We must restore our margin of dominance in space over our adversaries." Inhofe, however, noted that when he first heard about the creation of the new military service he asked what the branch would fix and how much it would cost. "I have yet to get satisfactory answers on either one of these," he said. The Space Force plan calls for creating a military branch under the Air Force that would be similar to the Marine Corps, a part of the Navy. A separate weapons acquisition center called the Space Development Agency will be created to support the force and eventually be folded into the force...

This interview is not quite as noteworthy as one Gowdy gave yesterday… however, the notation about someone wearing a wire into the Trump campaign is interesting. Both interviews are worth Last night Trey Gowdy gave an interview that was much more interesting. In last nights interview Gowdy discusses the two-page EC and FBI origination documents he reviewed where the “Trump Campaign” was outlined as the target: Fox never uploaded this video.

{ freebeacon.com } ~ I used to laugh every time I heard someone like Elon Musk say that we are living in a Matrix-like simulation. These days, not so much. Don't call the funny farm just yet... On the major question of the nature of sense experience, I remain with Aristotle and against Bishop Berkeley. Matter is real. But there is also the question of how we perceive "the news"; how established media institutions present and frame information; how we are supposed to respond to the "takes" purportedly expert and knowledgeable voices serve up to us by the second on social media. And here, I'm skeptical. It's hard not to be. Think of the headlines we've encountered since the beginning of this year. We were told the Covington Catholic boys were smug racist Trump supporters on the basis of a snippet of video. A young man, a private citizen, whose only offense was traveling to Washington, D.C., to march for life, was transformed at light speed into a symbol of hate and systemic oppression. However, just as Nick Sandmann's reputation as a villain was about to set in stone, additional videos revealed that the students' encounter with a far-left American Indian activist and the Black Hebrew Israelites was far more complicated than initially reported. The Covington Catholic boys had been smeared. People who cast themselves as agents of professional knowledge, expertise, and moral authority had circulated and amplified a lie in the service of a political agenda. Not for the first nor last time. We were told Jussie Smollett, a rising gay African-American actor and singer, had been the victim of a hate crime committed by MAGA-hat-wearing Trump supporters in the dead cold of a Chicago night. Journalists and bloggers who asked questions about Smollett's story were decried as bigots, even as key details went missing and the shifting timeline became more and more curious. Then the city's African-American police commissioner announced Smollett had been arrested for orchestrating a bizarre hoax. The state's attorney filed charges—charges subsequently dropped after behind-the-scenes lobbying by Michelle scumbag/liar-nObama's former chief of staff...   https://freebeacon.com/columns/the-liberal-media-matrix/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=8bd3c471fc-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_04_11_11_17_COPY_179&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-8bd3c471fc-45611665

Northrop Grumman Awarded $3.2-Billion E-2D Advanced Hawkeye Contract Modification

{ news.usni.org } ~ The Navy awarded Northrop Grumman a $3.2-billion five-year contract modification to buy 24 E-2D Advanced Hawkeye airborne surveillance aircraft... The new award, announced by the Pentagon late on April 10, modifies a $99.8-million contract awarded to Northrop Grumman in February 2018. The previous contract paid for long-lead parts and support associated with the full-rate production covered by the new multi-year procurement (MYP) contract. Loaded with sensors and communications equipment, such as the powerful AN/APY-9 radar, the E-2D is often described as a carrier strike group’s “quarterback” because of its central role in executing a networked warfare concept. The Hawkeye increases battle space awareness by detecting, tracking and linking sensors to shooters, according to Northrop Grumman. “This is a critical element in providing the next generation of world-class command and control aircraft to the fleet,” Capt. Keith Hash, the Navy’s E-2/C-2 Airborne Tactical Data Systems Program Office (PMA-231) program manager, said in a statement. “The use of the MYP contract allows a substantial savings over the use of single-year contracts and helps us fulfill our mission to increase U.S. naval power at sea by providing our fleet the information they need to accurately plan and win the fight today and tomorrow.” The new contract is a continuation of the Navy’s effort to upgrade the networked capabilities of its carrier strike groups. In 2014, the Navy awarded Northrop Grumman a $3.64-billion contract to build 25 E-2D Advanced Hawkeyes. Congress later added a 26th Hawkeye to the previous multi-year...   https://news.usni.org/2019/04/11/northrop-grumman-awarded-3-2-billion-e-2d-advanced-hawkeye-contract-modification?utm_source=USNI+News&utm_campaign=deb4850edc-USNI_NEWS_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0dd4a1450b-deb4850edc-231491269&mc_cid=deb4850edc&mc_eid=3999f18767

Iranian Oil Exports Continue 
to Surge Despite U.S. Sanctions,
by David Adesnik  

{ fdd.org }  Iranian oil exports climbed to roughly 1.7 million barrels per day in March, an increase of 70 percent compared to three months earlier... This poses a direct challenge to the Trump administration, which seeks to reduce Iranian exports to zero while maintaining stable prices. Tehran’s oil exports  peaked at about 2.8 million barrels per day (bpd) in April of last year, with typical volumes closer to 2.4 million bpd. The U.S. then withdrew from the nuclear deal with Iran in May and reinstated its sanctions in early November. By that time, Iranian exports had fallen below 1.8 million bpd. After declining further to less than 1 million bpd at the end of 2018, Iranian exports have grown steadily in 2019.  Bloomberg reported that Iranian exports reached 1.76 million bpd in March, while S&P Global put the figure at 1.70 million, and Tanker Trackers provided the highest estimate, 1.80 million. One major driver of this growth is China’s appetite for imported oil it can purchase at a discount because of sanctions. Bloomberg shows Chinese imports rising to 613,000 bpd in March, compared to 452,000 bpd in January. Tanker Trackers concluded that Chinese imports in March had actually risen to 767,000 bpd. China and seven other countries have permission to import Iranian oil pursuant to six-month waivers that the U.S. granted last November when it reinstated sanctions on Iran. Each waiver authorizes a specific volume of imports, but the State Department has not made those amounts public. Nor has the department clarified whether the cap applies to monthly imports, or to average imports over the full six-month period...

Medicare Scam Rakes Taxpayers for $1.2 Billion

Michael Swartz:  If you place a vast enough pot of money before a large enough pool of people, you eventually find out just how far people will go to get their greedy hands on the loot. Such is the case in a multinational Medicare scam that made headlines this week for its sheer size — the 24 arrested reportedly took a cut out of $1.2 billion in purloined fraudulent Medicare payments for various orthotic braces patients didn’t truly need.

The scam was as complex as it was widespread, involving overseas telemarketers preying on elderly Medicare recipients who were directed to a telemedicine firm where doctors would write prescriptions for durable medical equipment sight unseen. Medicare was charged between $500 and $900 per brace, depending on the type, with the call centers receiving a $289 kickback and the equipment retailer keeping the rest.

As for the patients? “Often in our interviews with patients, we find this equipment in the closet,” said Gary Cantrell, a deputy inspector general for the Department of Health and Human Services. “It’s not even being utilized because it was never needed to start with.”

Sadly, this is not the first major Medicare scam to be uncovered, and it probably won’t be the last. A recent Government Accountability Office study found, “Estimated improper payment rates declined more than one percent from fiscal year 2016 to 2018 for all parts of Medicare — to 8.12 percent, 8.10 percent, and 1.66 percent for FFS, MA, and Medicare Part D, respectively. However, according to the Office of Management and Budget, the rate and amount of improper payments made in Medicare still represent some of the highest in the government.” In FY2018, that added up to $48 billion — by comparison, that’s nearly $9 billion more than the Trump administration requested on foreign aid for this fiscal year. You could have added to that the budget for a smaller Cabinet office like Commerce or Labor and still barely matched the amount taxpayers lost to fraud.

Moreover, the effect of this theft is that of sapping the little remaining strength from a sickly, frail patient. One recent estimate predicted the Medicare trust fund would run dry by 2026; a date our Brian Mark Weber pointed out is the same doomsday date we heard 18 years ago. (Social Security isn’t much better as it has a 2034 day of reckoning.) As our more seasoned readers are aware, while the alarm bells have sounded for decades thanks to Democrat scare tactics regarding cuts to entitlement programs, their “solutions” are the same old “tax the rich” bromides they’ve been peddling for years, now coupled with the new wrinkle of expanding the number of dependents by instituting “Medicare for All.”

Yet with an estimated “Medicare for All” price tag of an additional $3 trillion a year over and beyond a federal budget already well north of $4 trillion, imagine the enhanced opportunities for grifters and criminals to dive into that pile of cash. If it’s anything like the most recent Medicare scam, those ill-gotten gains will be laundered through a number of shell corporations and spent on luxury cars, yachts, and real estate in resort areas around the world while taxpayers foot the bill.

So allow us to remind our fellow Americans once again: If you place a vast enough pot of money before a large enough pool of people, you’ll realize that insane greed is an ugly but common human trait.

{ godfatherpolitics.com } ~ Looks like scientists just admitted that the claims by global warming religionists is just a bunch of B.S. … but they probably didn’t realize that’s what they did... A new report on climate change by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research made the accidental admission that the earth has seen these same levels of CO2 in the past and was not “destroyed” by it all. As reported by the extremist, left-wing site Think Progress: Current CO2 levels of 410 parts per million (ppm) were last seen on Earth three million years ago, according to the most detailed reconstruction of the Earth’s climate by researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and published in Science Advances. Wait…. so let’s get this straight: the last time we have CO2 levels like this was “three million years ago”? When man was not around to cause it?…And…and the earth is still here for us to talk about it? Didn’t they just admit that even if man is contributing to some rise in temperatures, natural causes also contribute the earth won’t be destroyed by it? Not in 12 years… OR in three million!... commie-AOC, scumbag-Kerry, scumbag- Gore and the rest of the loving environmental group are lying to us all.

{ foxnews.com } ~ The New York Post on Thursday hit back at Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., following her recent comments on the September 11, 2001 terror attacks... The dramatic front page featured an infamous photo of New York City’s Twin Towers on fire on the day of the attacks. The towers collapsed after they were hit by hijacked planes. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks. The page read: “Rep. Ilhan Omar: 9/11 was ‘some people did something.’” “Here’s your something: 2,977 people dead by terrorism.”The bottom of the cover read in small captioning: “Omar outraged the families of 9/11 victims by referring dismissively to the terrorist attacks while speaking to a Muslim lobbying group.” The Post was referring to Omar’s recent comments at the Council of American-Islamic Relations CAIR fundraiser last month when she called upon other Muslim-Americans to “make people uncomfortable” with their activism. However, another part of the speech surfaced on social media this week in which Omar described the terror attacks perpetrated by Al Qaeda. “CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something, and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties,” Omar said at the event. Her comments prompted a response from Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, a former Navy SEAL who lost his right eye after being injured by an IED in Afghanistan...   https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-york-post-ilhan-omar-911-attacks

On one hand, the far, far left part of the caucus want billions in new social spending, some are complaining that they want to defund the Pentagon and our troops, others don’t, and the conflicts are destroying the Democrat Party’s supposed comity. The in-fighting is so bad that Speaker Pulosi had to cancel the debate on the planned 2-year budget, despite that she supposedly controls the halls of the House of Representatives. “There is a math problem, period, if they want to do the vote tomorrow,” Pocan said. “We’ve got to have something here if we’re expected to try to vote for a defense number that is so ridiculously high, while at the same time, we have the kind of inequality that we have in the country,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D, WA) added. Jayapal also celebrated that her progressive caucus had the power to disrupt the budget debate. Politico  reported that Democratic Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan, a co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, has said that they don’t have the votes to pass the Democrat-sponsored budget...

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ The Senate on Thursday approved former energy lobbyist David Bernhardt to head the Interior Department, where he will play a key role in implementing President Trump's agenda... of boosting coal, gas, and oil production, including offshore. Bernhardt was confirmed in a 56-41 vote. Bernhardt, 49, has a long record of working in and out of government in Washington. He had served as the Interior Department's solicitor under the administration of George W. Bush, but has since worked outside of government. It is his most recent time working as a consultant and lobbyist for the fossil energy industry that has earned opposition and criticism from Democrats. Many Democrats will continue to oppose him even after he is sworn in. They argue that his previous lobbying makes him both unfit and unable to do the job of Interior secretary due to extreme conflicts of interests. Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Tom Udall, D-N.M., have called upon the inspector general in recent days to investigate whether Bernhardt had continued to lobby while in his role as deputy secretary of the interior. Trump had tapped Bernhardt to be the new interior secretary after being confirmed last year to be the agency's second-highest-ranked official, and after the resignation of former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke amid ethics concerns...   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/energy/senate-confirms-former-energy-lobbyist-to-carry-out-trumps-energy-agenda-as-interior-secretary?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_04/11/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News&rid=5261

Students Who Want to ‘Kick Kavanaugh

{dailysignal.com} ~ George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School recently announced Justice Brett Kavanaugh will teach a class during its summer term on the creation of the Constitution... Students will travel to Runnymede, England, the location where Magna Carta was sealed more than 800 years ago. Naturally, this led a student group from the undergraduate university called Mason 4 Survivors to post an apoplectic petition on Change.org demanding the school cut ties with Kavanaugh. Some of these students actually say Kavanaugh’s hiring jeopardizes their safety and happiness. Some members of the undergraduate university’s Faculty Senate are now calling for the school to independently investigate the claims of sexual assault leveled against Kavanaugh during his confirmation last fall. Apparently the work of the United States Senate and FBI—not to mention the countless news outlets that investigated these claims—was insufficient. These professors are likely the same malcontents who objected to the university’s decision to rename the law school in honor of the late Justice Antonin Scalia back in 2016. So far, University President Angel Cabrera has stood by the law school’s decision—supported by the entire law school faculty—to offer this course, pointing out, “The students at the law school, by the way, have agreed. The students have signed up to this class.”...

Culture Beat:  Our nation lost a legend on Tuesday. Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Richard Cole, the last of the famed World War II Doolittle Raiders died at age 103. Cole, who was originally from Dayton, Ohio, said of that famous and dangerous mission that hit back at the Japanese less than five months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, “I think the main thing was that you had to go in with a positive attitude. I really didn’t worry about it. It was our job, and we knew what to expect.”

Knowing what to expect? It was virtually a suicide mission given that the B-25s couldn’t land on aircraft carriers.

Immediately following the raid, Cole was able to parachute to safety where he was helped by Chinese partisans; his seven fellow crew members were not so fortunate. All seven died — three during the mission, three were captured by the Japanese and executed, and one died in captivity. However, the bold action and sacrifice made by these American heroes in punching back at Imperial Japan proved monumental in lifting the country’s spirits.

In 2015, all the Raiders were honored with the Congressional Gold Medal for their “outstanding heroism, valor, skill and service to the United States.” That same year, Cole published a book entitled Dick Cole’s War: Doolittle Raider, Hump Pilot, Air Commando (American Military Experience). In it he detailed his military service.

As J. Christian Adams aptly put it, “Richard Cole deserves a salute from all Americans today. An American hero in the truest sense of the word has passed.”  ~The Patriot Post

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Democrats have finally decided to make judicial nominations an election issue, after essentially ceding the ground to Republicans for decades... scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton barely mentioned Merrick Garland or the Supreme Court vacancy on the stump; this time around Democrats are going all in. But forget the conventional play of highlighting policy areas where “Trump judges” differ from those a Democratic president would appoint: issues such as abortion, guns, affirmative action, voting rights, and campaign finance. This time, the Supreme Court itself is the target. With their eyes on 2020, Democrats are calling for the court to be fundamentally restructured: adding justices, changing the way they’re picked, and limiting how long they serve. After all, the “illegitimate” conservative majority — Neil Gorsuch “stole” Garland’s seat, while Brett Kavanaugh “is” a serial rapist who hid his work on George W. Bush’s torture program — is also relatively young. Its oldest member, Clarence Thomas, is 70, while scumbag/liar-Clinton-appointed Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer are 86 and 80, respectively. Solution: Pack the Court! Don’t take that description from me, listen to the Democrats’ own presidential contenders. In a series of interviews, Sens.lowlife- Kamala Harris of California, Elizabeth dinky-Warren of Massachusetts, and Kristen Gillibrand of New York came out swinging for court-packing and more. Gillibrand echoed the common refrain that Gorsuch’s place on the court is illegitimate. dinky-Warren said that it’s “not just about expansion, it’s about depoliticizing the Supreme Court,” and also suggested bringing circuit judges onto Supreme Court cases, either in addition to permanent justices or once the current ones are gone as a rotating platoon. “We are on the verge of a crisis of confidence in the Supreme Court,” lowlife-Harris explained, “and everything is on the table to do that.”...   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/democrats-are-courting-disaster?utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_04/11/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief&rid=5261

The Intellectual Dishonesty of the 
Campaign Against the Electoral College

{dailysignal.com} ~ A full-blown war is raging against the Electoral College. But as activist groups become more desperate to overturn our way of electing presidents before voters go the polls in November 2020... their arguments become more absurd and hyperbolic. CNN recently ran a preposterous segment suggesting that James Madison called the Electoral College “evil,” a shameful distortion and an absurdity given that the man known as the Father of the Constitution had a direct hand in creating the institution. Others have made more serious but ultimately absurd indictments of the Electoral College. Among the biggest stretches made by critics of the Electoral College is that the institution was created simply to benefit slavery. Left-wing pundits, politicians, and even a few scholars have made this a popular argument. However, it isn’t true and is clearly a smear, a desperate ploy by sophists who want to tarnish the institution because they think it stands in the way of progressive electoral dominance...   https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/04/10/the-intellectual-dishonesty-of-the-campaign-against-the-electoral-college/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiT1dGaU4yVTFNR1JoTURWbSIsInQiOiJlRU5hNVpzMUprXC9VOVVBc25sOUZucmVpak4xS1liREE1UkE2XC9XQVJzaFYwMlVJQ2Z6Skp5eUM5d1BhYkxGSTQ2MVhmNWEyZ0JsVDY2Q0dVQ1FreVBDNlNzMFg4emprdWpudmtJclRcLzZEekVLMDc3dExuMzNJXC9pRlNkdU4rMTEifQ%3D%3D

U.S. Blocks BDS Co-Founder 
Barghouti from Entering the Country

{ investigativeproject.org } ~ Omar Barghouti, a co-founder of the movement to boycott and sanction Israel, a movement which many backers hope will lead to Israel's elimination... was supposed to arrive in Washington, D.C. yesterday to give two lectures and to meet with members of Congress. Instead, he's back at his home in Israel. The Arab American Institute, one of Barghouti's hosts, announced Thursday morning that Barghouti, "prominent Palestinian human rights activist, was denied entry into the United States at Ben Gurion Airport despite having valid travel documents. We at AAI invited him to DC to participate in a number of speaking engagements and educational programs." The announcement came less than a half an hour before the first of those engagements started. Arab American Institute founder and President James Zogby promised to litigate the issue. "Our regressive, discriminatory discrimination laws are an impediment to free speech," he said. But Barghouti is not being silenced. He appeared via computer link and engaged in the same question and answer session with journalist Peter Beinart that would have happened had he been allowed into the country...

{jpost.com} ~ The country has Beresheet mania. Tens of thousands of Israelis had stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to watch the lunar lander’s launch... from Cape Canaveral in Florida on Feb. 21 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. This time the hour will be more civilized, with Beresheet expected to touch down in the northeastern part of the Sea of Serenity, a flat area on the moon’s surface, sometime between 10 and 11 p.m. in Israel. A successful landing will make Israel the fourth country — after the Soviet Union, the U.S. and China — to land a spacecraft on the moon. Other touch-down events also sponsored by the Israel Space Agency are planned for Kiryat Shemona in the north, Mitzpeh Ramon in the south, Givatayim a suburb of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Lectures and public viewings are scheduled in at least 15 other locations throughout the country. Last week, SpaceIL broadcast directly from its control room in Yehud, Israel, as Beresheet successfully entered the moon’s orbit in its last major step before the moon landing, making Israel the seventh country to enter the moon’s orbit... Update the Beresheet landing failed.   https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/How-to-watch-the-Beresheet-spacecraft-land-on-the-moon-586454

KEN STARR: scumbag/liar-Hillary 
WAS Behind Vince Foster’s Death

{ .libertyheadlines.com } ~ Former independent counsel Kenneth Starr—the one-time nemesis of the scumbag/liar-Clinton family—has now revealed that scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton was behind the death of Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster... But contrary to the many conspiracy theories that have survived a quarter of a century later, Starr—whose investigation determined no evidence of foul play—still maintains that scumbag/liar-Hillary didn’t pull the trigger. Instead, Starr acknowledged recently that the then-first lady berated and humiliated Foster, driving him to suicide, according to the Daily Mail. Foster’s 1993 shooting death in a public park on the outskirts of Washington D.C. unleashed a wave of controversy that marked the arrival of the scumbag/liar-Clintons on the national stage, less than six months into scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton’s first presidential term.As some questioned the forensic reports about where and how he was shot, Foster became one of the earliest entries on an ever-expanding list of scumbag/liar-Clinton associates who met their demise under suspicious circumstances. There was speculation that Foster—a friend and colleague of then-First Lady scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton from the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Arkansas—might have to testify against her as investigators probed the Whitewater real-estate scandal. Starr’s was the last of several investigations, all of which ruled suicide, determining there was insufficient evidence to call it a murder. On his team was a young future Supreme Court justice, Brett Kavanaugh...

Pollaganda: Why Americans Don't Think They
Got a Tax Cut
poKyzHzRM9qm9ErYxntiAkZfe7y3S1iLcQd2vEXVDGGijOfXSZWXetH-6lECz7-Zs7pSzvwHydhs_gd46UXmCBoCFWyfrvc4YE1MmW4Y-OYGv3p9QeSR2D88tW7_3urMWOyTdQCyCfeEFLWb03Brg1ZG2mN5VLaVmpjYgk4=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Nate Jackson:  Just yesterday, we rebutted the continuing Leftmedia narrative about tax refunds. Yes, refunds may be a bit smaller so far in 2019, but that’s because the vast majority of taxpayers paid lower taxes throughout 2018.

But some propaganda is really tough to combat. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll revealed that just 17% of Americans think their taxes will go down as a result of the 2017 Republican tax cut. Some 28% don’t know, while 27% say their taxes will stay the same, and a mind-numbing 28% think their taxes will go up.

NBC News says nothing at all to correct the record for an obviously misinformed public. At least The Wall Street Journal does tell readers “the reality”: “For 2019, 48% of households are getting a tax cut greater than $500. … Just 5.5% of households face tax increases greater than $100” [emphasis added].

The Daily Signal adds, “As a result of tax reform, 9 out of 10 taxpayers got a tax cut.” In fact, “The average American household paid about $1,400 less in taxes as a result in 2018,” and even better, “Over the next 10 years, thanks to a larger economy, the typical American will benefit from over $26,000 more in take-home pay, or $44,697 for a family of four.”

And yet most Americans don’t think they got a tax cut. Why? Democrat propaganda churned by the Leftmedia. This latest entry is pollaganda, reflecting that Americans can accurately repeat what they were told for the last year.

Leftist Vox editor Matt Yglesias claimed a big win: “Nobody likes to give themselves credit for this kind of messaging success, but progressive groups did a really good job of convincing people that Trump raised their taxes when the facts say a clear majority got a tax cut.” That’s what we call dezinformatsiya in a nutshell. ~The Patriot Post

Why Single-Payer Wouldn’t 
Get Americans More Health Care

{ thefederalist.com } ~ In talking about his single-payer bill, which he reintroduced in the Senate on Wednesday, Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders often claims that “I want to end the international embarrassment of the United States of America... being the only major country on earth that doesn’t guarantee health care to all people as a right and not a privilege.” But his legislation would do no such thing. Understanding why demonstrates the inherent drawbacks of his government-centered approach to health policy.Section 201(a) illustrates the catch in commie-Sanders’ bill, and his philosophy. That section states that “individuals enrolled for benefits under this Act are entitled to have payment made…to an eligible provider” for a list of covered services. Note the wording: commie-Sanders’ bill doesn’t guarantee access to care. Instead, it merely guarantees that people will have their care covered—if they can access it. But in government-run systems, finding access to care often proves no easy feat. In our own country, low reimbursement rates in many state Medicaid programs can make finding doctors difficult. One 2011 study found that two-thirds of specialist physicians would not accept Medicaid patients, whereas only 11 percent of patients with private insurance could not obtain appointments. Patients with Medicaid also had to wait an average of three weeks longer for an appointment for the few doctors who would see them. Medicaid suffers from so many access problems that one former director of a state program called a Medicaid card a “hunting license,” because it “gave you a chance to go find a doctor.” That’s the only “guarantee” the commie-Sanders bill actually provides—the guarantee you can try to go find care, not a guarantee you can receive it...   https://thefederalist.com/2019/04/11/single-payer-wouldnt-get-americans-health-care/?utm_source=The+Federalist+List&utm_campaign=fc4155598f-RSS_The_Federalist_Daily_Updates_w_Transom&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_cfcb868ceb-fc4155598f-83771801

What’s Worse Than 'Creepy Uncle loose lips-Joe'

{ americanthinker.com } ~ It turns out that handsy Ol’ Uncle loose lips-Joe really is a bit “creepy” after all. We can all say that, now that enough Democrats have told us this is the case. At least this is the current take of certain presidential-minded Democrats... who have decided that they no longer want or need loose lips-Joe Biden. If these Democrats were in their right minds, they would realize that loveable Ol’ loose lips-Joe -- with his hair sniffing and back rubbing and face pecking -- is among the least of their problems. Nevertheless, right now many in the Democratic party simply want to be done with loose lips-Biden because of “inappropriate touching.” This is the man who served in their party as vice president for eight years and as a U.S. senator for 36 years. By inappropriate touching, they mean things like hand-holding, forehead-to-forehead conversations, holding women “for a beat too long” at receptions, and the like. No one is alleging anything criminal, nor is anyone using the phrase “sexual harassment.” What’s more, very little we are hearing from loose lips-Biden’s accusers and their accomplices is new information. It seems clear that these accusations against loose lips-Biden are little more than a political ploy by some Democrats who hope to rid themselves of what they see as an old straight white man who doesn’t seem quite hip or radical enough to be their presidential nominee. As Brent Bozell and Tim Graham recently put it, The Democrat-media complex has suddenly decided that loose lips-Joe Biden has a creepiness problem. Why now? Why not when he was vice president for eight years? Does anyone remember the allegedly fierce White House press corps pelting the press secretary with questions, asking when then-President scumbag/liar-nObama would tell his understudy to stop putting his hands on women -- and little girls -- and putting his face uncomfortably close to theirs? In spite of the efforts of his fellow Democrats who want the “creepy old man” label to force him to just go away, loose lips-Joe Biden seems to be leaning toward making them beat him the old-fashioned way: at the ballot box -- or at least loose lips-Biden hopes to force his opponents to have to work hard in rigging the primaries. Whether loose lips-Biden runs, or whether he gets the nomination, the efforts against him remind us that Democrats remain blind to the real problems within their party...
6 Criminal Referrals The DOJ Is Ignoring 
Because The Perpetrators Are Anti-Trump

{ /thefederalist.com } ~ The term “justice” is defined as “the maintenance or administration of what is just especially by the impartial adjustments of conflicting claims or the assignment of merited rewards or punishments.”... Our Department of Justice (DOJ), the institution that boldly claims this term in its title, will soon receive eight fresh criminal referrals from Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), who still clings to the notion that the DOJ might enforce the law impartially. It’s not hard to predict what the DOJ will do with these referrals: It will add them to the pile of phony investigations and refuse to answer any questions with an, “I’m sorry, but the DOJ doesn’t discuss cases under investigation.” As noted by Paul Sperry, the DOJ is slow-walking or no-walking its investigations of many lawless acts to undermine the Trump administration and interfere with the 2016 election. It’s a scandal how the DOJ so clearly operates without a blindfold to check the politics of a wrongdoer before deciding to do something about misconduct. Let’s review recent history of criminal referrals to grade the Department of Justice’s impartiality.

Is Iran Winning in Yemen?

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ A ceasefire deal aimed at ending Yemen's civil war is collapsing amid disputes between the warring parties over how to implement the agreement... A resumption of hostilities would, according to aid groups, accelerate Yemen's descent into famine and threaten as many as 15 million people — more than half the population — with starvation. Yemen's four-year conflict is generally viewed as a proxy war between Saudi Arabia, which backs the internationally-recognized Yemeni government, and Iran, which backs tribal-based Shiite rebels, known as Houthis. Iran has long denied accusations that it provides financial and military support to the Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah (Partisans of Allah). According to the United Nations, however, Tehran has been supplying the rebels with weapons for more than a decade. Yemen's civil war has deep roots based on religious, economic and political  grievances that go back to September 1962, when a revolution  replaced a 1,000-year-old absolute hereditary Shiite monarchy — the Zaidi imamate — with a secular regime, the Republic of Yemen...

{ dailycaller.com } ~  Gregory B. Craig, who served in the scumbag/liar-nObama administration as a White House counsel, is said to be expecting charges pursuant to the dirty cop-Mueller investigation... The New York Times reported Wednesday that Craig’s attorneys were expecting him to be indicted “in the coming days” and that the charges would be related to information uncovered by special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller and his team during the course of their investigation, charges related to his work for the Russia-aligned government of Ukraine. The Washington Post linked Craig to former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, saying that “the expected indictment — which his attorneys called ‘a misguided abuse of prosecutorial discretion’ — stems from work Craig did with GOP lobbyist Paul Manafort on behalf of the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice in 2012.”According to the Post, Craig was a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom at the time — a position he resigned in April 2018 amid an investigation into whether the firm’s partners had failed to register as foreign lobbyists while working with Ukraine...

God and the Democrats

Cal Thomas
 

For the last 27 years, Democrats have been trying to win over evangelical Christians who last voted in large numbers for their party’s presidential candidate, Jimmy Carter, in 1976.

At the 1992 Democratic National Convention, scumbag-Al Gore gave it a go, but misquoted Scripture. In his acceptance speech for the vice-presidential nomination, Gore said, “In the words of the Bible, Do not lose heart. This nation will be renewed.” The verse actually says, “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day” (2 Corinthians 4:16). Paul is speaking of our earthly bodies and the hope that awaits those who believe in Jesus, not the Democratic Party.

Next up in the religious batter’s box Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, who is expected to declare his candidacy soon, and who calls himself a Christian of the liberal Episcopalian variety. In an interview with Washington Post religion reporter Sarah Pulliam Bailey, he said, “I think there’s an opportunity hopefully for religion to be not so much used as a cudgel but invoked as a way of calling us to higher values.”

What “values” might those be? Are they the values of a secular progressive? Buttigieg is all for government helping the poor (under Trump, applications for U.S. unemployment have declined to a 49-year low, driven by the roaring economy, not social programs) and standing up against “the wealthy and the powerful and the established.”

One doesn’t need to be Christian, or even religious, to support such goals. What is it about Buttigieg’s faith and political positions that distinguishes him from a person who doesn’t believe in God?

Buttigieg questions the faith of president Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. Of the president, he said, “I do think it’s strange, though, knowing that no matter where you are politically, the gospel is so much about inclusion and decency and humility and care for the least among us, that a wealthy, powerful, chest-thumping, self-oriented, philandering figure like this can have any credibility at all among religious people.”

He must have missed the passage about not judging others. For evangelicals, the gospel is about a Person, not “inclusion.” In fact, it is about exclusion for those who refuse its central message of repentance and conversion. Yes, a byproduct of that faith is humility and care for the least among us, but genuine faith comes before works. Most evangelicals would argue the command to care for “the least of these” is not about government programs, but the responsibility of individuals. This is the central teaching of Jesus’ Good Samaritan parable about a man beaten by robbers and left half-dead by the side of the road. Several people pass him by, but the Samaritan stops to care for him and pay for his lodging while he recovers (Luke 10:31-35).

Republicans criticized Democrats in 2012 for leaving God out of their party platform. At that same convention, some delegates heckled Rev. Cynthia Hale, who prayed for scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton. Hale’s partisan appeal to God was interrupted by those chanting commie-Bernie Sanders’ name. Both parties should ponder this verse: “My Kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36).

Buttigieg thinks the religious left can keep Trump from being re-elected. It is unlikely Trump’s evangelical and conservative supporters will leave him, especially if the alternative is a candidate who favors socialist policies.

The latest Quinnipiac University poll puts Buttigieg’s approval rating among Democrats and Democrat-leaning voters at 4 percent. That could change with the predictable media hype, but the religious left has had little influence in past elections and there is no reason to have faith in their ability to influence the next one.  ~The Patriot Post
