Monday Top News Executive Summary

Media Editors: Government & Politics

ANTI-SEMITIC SPONSORS: National Review’s David French highlights more nefariousness behind the banning of Reps. worthless-Ilhan Omar and worthless-Rashida Tlaib from Israel: “The most important element of the story is the fact that two American congresswomen shunned a bipartisan congressional delegation to Israel to go on an independent trip to Israel sponsored by vicious anti-Semites. Another important element of the story is that, as of today, the mainstream media have whitewashed worthless-Omar and worthless-Tlaib’s vile associations.”

JUDICIAL ACTIVISM QUASHED: Fox News reports: “A federal appeals court sided with the Trump administration on Friday in the legal battle over its efforts to limit asylum claims from Central America — blocking, for now, a nationwide injunction that blocked the implementation of the rule. … The San Francisco federal appeals court for the 9th Circuit on Friday ruled that the injunction imposed by the California federal judge can only apply in states within the court’s jurisdiction in the western U.S.” Our own Arnold Ahlert explains why nationwide injunctions are tyrannical.

commie-SANDERS RACE BAITS: “Declaring the criminal justice system ruined by pervasive racism and ‘corporate profiteering,’ Sen. commie-Bernard Sanders proposed a massive overhaul Sunday that would free many drug convicts, abolish the death penalty and solitary confinement, and promote an unarmed ‘civilian corps’ to replace the police for lower-level calls.” (The Washington Times)

dinky-FAUXCAHONTAS PANDERS: “Presumably as a way to deflect from criticism over her checkered past of claiming Native American ancestry, [Elizabeth] dinky-Warren posted a lengthy proposal on Medium Friday morning in which she vowed to fix some of the problems pertaining to tribal nations,” according to The Daily Wire. “Throughout her lengthy post, dinky-Warren makes several proposals, from making Native Americans a national concern, to affordable housing, to economic opportunities for tribal people, and to respect for native veterans.” Meanwhile, The Washington Times reveals that dinky-Warren’s binge spending “total[s] more than $5 trillion over a decade. That sum does not include other high-priced items on the liberal wish list such as … government-run health care.”

Culture & Heartland

NAZI SYMPATHIZERS: “A group of high-school students in Southern California gave a Nazi salute and sang a Nazi song during an awards ceremony last year, according to video reviewed by The Daily Beast. The video shows about 10 members of the boys’ water polo team at Pacifica High School in Garden Grove, California, throwing the salute once used to greet Adolf Hitler while singing a Nazi marching song played for German troops during World War II. It’s the second such incident in the region in the year.” (The Daily Beast)

ANTI-JEW ATTACK THWARTED: “An Ohio man has been arrested for making threats toward a local Jewish community center in New Middletown. … On Friday, the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force raided [the man’s] house and seized a cache of weapons and ammunition, including dozens of round[s] of ammo, multiple semi-automatic weapons, a gas mask and bulletproof armor. … [The suspect] is an avowed anti-Semite and white nationalist and attended the deadly ‘Unite the Right’ rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017… During the raid on his house on Friday police also discovered anti-Semitic and white nationalist propaganda.” (ABC News)

Around the World

FRACTURED BUT NOT BROKEN: According to the Associated Press, an Islamic State jihadi bombed a wedding in Kabul, Afghanistan, over the weekend, killing 63 and wounding 182. “The emergence of the Islamic State affiliate in recent years might be the greatest threat to Afghan civilians as the U.S. and Taliban seek an agreement to end nearly 18 years of fighting,” the AP reports. “While the U.S. wants Taliban assurances that Afghanistan will no longer be used as a launch pad for global terror attacks, there appear to be no guarantees of protection for Afghan civilians.”

BURGEONING SPECTACLE: “Hong Kong protest organizer Civil Human Rights Front estimates more than 1.7 million people gathered in the rain Sunday for the city’s 11th consecutive week of demonstrations. … What started as peaceful protests in June, including a June 9 demonstration that drew an estimated 1 million people, has since escalated, raising concern of potential Chinese military intervention.” (The Daily Caller)

THE SUSPENSE GROWS: “Two Russian nuclear monitoring stations — specifically designed to detect radiation — ‘went silent’ in the days following an explosion of what many believe was a nuclear-powered missile earlier this month during tests at a remote base, a nuclear official said in an email Sunday. … The Guardian reported that radiation levels in Severodvinsk, a nearby city, increased 20 times above normal for about a half hour after the explosion. It has been reported that residents in the area have been stocking up on iodine, which helps reduce the effects of radiation exposure.” (Fox News)

IRANIAN MALFEASANCE: “An Iranian supertanker with $130 million worth of light crude oil that the U.S. suspects is tied to a sanctioned organization has left Gibraltar and was heading Monday east into the Mediterranean Sea, with its next destination reported to be Greece. … The vessel left Gibraltar late on Sunday after having been detained for a month in the British overseas territory for allegedly attempting to breach European Union sanctions on Syria. Gibraltar authorities rejected attempts by the U.S. to seize the oil tanker again, arguing that EU regulations are less strict than U.S. sanctions on Iran. And Tehran on Monday warned Washington against any effort to grab the vessel again.” (CBS News)

The Extinction of Christians in the Middle East

by Giulio Meotti

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Convert, pay or die. Five years ago, that was the "choice" the Islamic State (ISIS) gave to Christians in Mosul, then Iraq's third-largest city... either embrace Islam, submit to a religious tax or face the sword. ISIS then marked Christian houses with the Arabic letter ن (N), the first letter of the Arabic word "Nasrani" ("Nazarene," or "Christian") . Christians could often take no more than the clothes on their back and flee a city that had been home to Christians for 1,700 years. Two years ago, ISIS was defeated in Mosul and its Caliphate crushed. The extremists, however, had succeeded in "cleansing" the Christians. Before the rise of ISIS, there were more than 15,000 Christians there. In July 2019, the Catholic charity, Aid to the Church in Need, disclosed that only about 40 Christians have come back. Not long ago, Mosul had "Christmas celebrations without Christians". This cultural genocide, thanks to the indifference of Europeans and many Western Christians more worried about not appearing "Islamophobic" than defending their own brothers, sadly worked. Father Ragheed Ganni, for instance, a Catholic priest from Mosul, had just finished celebrating mass in his church when Islamists killed him. In one of his last letters, Ganni wrote: "We are on the verge of collapse". That was in 2007 -- almost ten years before ISIS eradicated the Christians of Mosul. "Has the world 'looked the other way' while Christians are killed?" the Washington Post asked. Definitely. Traces of a lost Jewish past have also resurfaced in Mosul, where a Jewish community had also lived for thousands of years. Now, 2,000 years later, both Judaism and Christianity have effectively been annihilated there. That life is over. The newspaper La Vie collected the testimony of a Christian, Yousef the name has been changed, who fled in the night of August 6, 2014, just before ISIS arrived. "It was a real exodus", Yousef said. "The road was black with people, I did not see either the beginning or the end of this procession. There were children were crying, families dragging small suitcases. Old men were on the shoulders of their sons. People were thirsty, it was very hot. We have lost all that we have built for life and nobody fought for us". Some communities, such as the tiny Christian pockets in Mosul, are almost certainly lost forever", wrote two American scholars in Foreign Policy...

Progressive Candidates are Carving a Path

to the Senate in 2020, No Thanks to

scumbag-Chuck Schumer

by Ryan Grim, Akela Lacy and Aída Chávez

{ theintercept.com } ~ Its's hard to imagine things going much worse for Senate Minority Leader scumbag-Chuck Schumer in 2019... As he preps for the election he has long hoped will make him the majority leader, his prized recruits across the country have spurned him. In Texas, Colorado, and Montana, his top choices have so far turned down Senate runs in exchange for presidential bids. In Georgia, worthless-Stacey Abrams eluded him, her eye still on the governor’s mansion or possibly the vice presidency. In North Carolina, the popular Democratic attorney general took a pass. In Iowa, scumbag-Schumer tried to coax former Gov. Tom Vilsack into the race, but that fell through. In Kentucky, scumbag-Schumer successfully recruited failed House candidate Amy McGrath into the race, and she immediately imploded. In Maine, Sara Gideon, the statehouse speaker, is running against Susan Collins, but Ady Barkan, the activist who raised some $4 million in pledges for whoever becomes the Democratic nominee, deserves as much credit for that as scumbag-Schumer. During a roundtable interview in July, scumbag-Schumer was asked if he had been having trouble with recruiting. “I have,” he conceded. But along the way, a bevy of new progressive Senate challengers have launched their own highly credible campaigns outside scumbag-Schumer’s orbit, with others threatening to do so. If Democrats do manage to seize the Senate chamber and make scumbag-Schumer the majority leader — gaining four seats, or three seats and the presidency — it will be in large part due to the work of an organized left. But before they can help scumbag-Schumer become majority leader, first they’ll have to get past scumbag-Schumer and the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee. In state after state, the fight at the heart of the Democratic Party is playing out: What kind of candidate is most likely to appeal to voters? In most but not all states, the preferred establishment candidate is white and leans moderate, while the left is in most cases though not all organizing around progressive candidates of color. This is the same battle we saw in the House Democratic primaries in 2018 — one that is also playing out in the 2020 presidential race — and its outcome will shape what kind of party takes power, or doesn’t, in 2021... This would be a very big bad mistake if this happens. https://theintercept.com/2019/08/15/senate-democrats-2020-chuck-schumer/?utm_source=The+Intercept+Newsletter&utm_campaign=cdf606a4a2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_08_17&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e00a5122d3-cdf606a4a2-131896129

What European Countries Sacrifice

for Free College

By JASON DELISLE & PRESTON COOPER

{ nationalreview.com } ~ The higher-education system in Finland is supposedly every American progressive’s dream. The Finnish government pays 96 percent of the total cost of providing young Finns with a college education... almost all domestic students at Finnish universities pay nothing in tuition. Indeed, Finland subsidizes its universities more than any other country in the developed world. American advocates of free college say that if Finland can do it, so can we. But there’s a catch to the Finnish model, and it’s not just higher taxes. Finland offers a nice deal for students only if they are lucky and talented enough to get in. In 2016, Finnish institutions of higher education accepted just 33 percent of applicants. That’s the degree of selectivity we’d expect from an elite college in America, yet that is the admissions rate for Finland’s entire university system. There is a price to pay for that kind of selectivity: Finland ranks in the bottom third of developed countries for college-degree attainment. Meanwhile, the tuition-charging United States ranks in the top third, thanks to open-enrollment policies at many of our colleges and universities, along with private financing and plenty of spots offered through a diverse range of institutions. The Finnish example reveals a reality often glossed over by politicians and activists who advocate mimicking European-style free-college regimes in the United States: government budgets are finite, even when taxes are high. If a government elects to pay for a greater share of each student’s college education, something else has to give. Perhaps the university system will accept fewer applicants and produce fewer graduates, as is the case in Finland. Or maybe it will spend fewer resources per student, potentially lowering the quality of education. Finland is evidence that such tradeoffs are not mere theory or a false choice manufactured by miserly conservatives. Nor is Finland the only country where such stark tradeoffs are on display. In a new report for the American Enterprise Institute, we compare the performance of 35 developed countries on three aspects of their higher-education systems: how many college graduates the system produces, how much funding is available per student overall, and what share of that funding comes from government sources. In a world of finite resources, these three qualities are inherently in tension with one another, and a government that tries to prioritize one quality usually has to sacrifice one of the others... https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/08/what-european-countries-sacrifice-for-free-college/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=theinsider&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWkdVM05UbG1ZalUzTUdVeSIsInQiOiIyN3dieXZJeE5WQWJFTHRWMGZHXC84V1wvcElpUitEY3FldVo3NkpWVzBNVnB5SHZkdU9pTDZRcDFlWDl0TFBqUmFLYU9RSzZwbTFrcXErMm9TSmVjdXNocFwvejRXYmxwZkl0bGdWQ0FLcGNEbkFUdHBxZFZISzFMbzcwS09RbUZLTiJ9

Europe Poised to Put Warning

Labels on Jewish-Made Products

by Adam Kredo

{ freebeacon.com } ~ The European Union is poised to mandate that Israeli products made in contested territories carry consumer warning labels... a decision that could trigger American anti-boycott laws and open up what legal experts describe as a "Pandora's box" of litigation, according to multiple sources involved in the legal dispute who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon. The Advocate General of the European Court of Justice recently issued non-binding opinion arguing that EU law requires Israeli-made products to be labeled as coming from "settlements" and "Israeli colonies." The decision was seen as a major win for supporters of the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, or BDS, which seeks to wage economic warfare on Israel and its citizens. Pro-Israel activists, as well as the Jewish businesses involved in the legal dispute, see the decision as an ominous warning sign that they say is reminiscent of Holocaust-era boycotts of Jewish businesses. With the EU court's 15 judge panel now poised to issue its own binding judgment in the case, legal experts are warning that a potential decision mandating such labeling could pave the way for goods from any disputed territory to receive such treatment. The decision also could trigger U.S. anti-boycott laws meant to stop Israeli-made goods from being singled out for unfair treatment on the international market. Brooke Goldstein, a human rights lawyer and executive director of the Lawfare Project, which is involved in the legal dispute, described the EU court's initial decision as "frankly outrageous."...

MSNBC Host, Analysts Speculate About

Removing Trump From Office

by Graham Piro

{ freebeacon.com } ~ An MSNBC panel speculated Friday afternoon about potentially removing President Donald Trump from office due to his mental state... pointing to reports he is exhibiting "signs that were similar to the early stages of Alzheimer's." "He attacked a man who turned out to be one of his own supporters," host Nicolle Wallace said. "I don't know where there are many schools in America you can bully somebody like that and not get suspended." Wallace referenced a supporter who was removed from a Trump rally after the President made fun of his weight. Afterward, the supporter said Trump had nothing to apologize for and that "he's the best thing that ever happened to this country." "Trump repeated points he had already made earlier in the evening as if he did not remember already making them," Wallace said. "David Brooks reported in 2017 that a bunch of Republicans came out of a meeting where Donald Trump explained some signs that were similar to the early stages of Alzheimer's." She continued that "in and out of the rooms people, either disparagingly or affectionately, are saying at an increased clip, he's crazy." "You know, there's pervasive reporting in this regard and if it was grandpa, you would probably take him to see a neurologist or someone who specializes in geriatric medicine. That hasn't happened here that we know of," said Joyce Vance, a former U.S. attorney. "The remedy is the 25th Amendment and that requires an intact cabinet, which Trump does not have. Whether by design or by accident, most of the cabinet is acting. We don't know what the mix would look like in a vote, and there's no will to take that on in any event."... Nicolle Wallace your hatred stands alone on this. https://freebeacon.com/politics/msnbc-host-analysts-speculate-about-removing-trump-from-office/

Socialism Never?

Cal Thomas

President Trump has repeatedly promised, “America will never be a socialist country.” Since Franklin Roosevelt began expanding government in the 1930s, the United States has increasingly adopted big-state policies associated with socialism.

We may not be at the stage commie-Bernie Sanders would advocate, but more millennials appear to favor a system under which they have never lived. Free stuff is appealing until one realizes its costs.

In an attempt to reach Generation Z — those in their teens and 20s — a new organization is starting this month to combat socialism’s appeal.

It’s called Young Americans Against Socialism" (yaas.org), according to its site, a nonpartisan nonprofit “dedicated to exposing socialism’s failures to young Americans by creating viral educational videos for social media.” Its founder, Morgan Zegers, worries that “more than half of young people believe socialism should be implemented in America.” The reason, she says, is because many of them know little about it. Her campaign will be largely on social media where she notes young people spend hours every day.

“Yaas is taking the Left’s tactics of injecting emotion into everything,” she says, “and throwing it right back in their faces.” One Yaas video includes statements by two men. One, Raydel Armas, says he escaped Cuba by “windsurfing for 10 hours.” The other, Daniel Di Martino, a Venezuelan, challenges Sanders’ promotion of socialism.

commie-Sanders is shown in a video from the ‘70s in which he calls food lines in some countries “a good thing,” presumably referring to non-socialist countries. “The rich,” he claims, “get the food and the poor starve to death.” Daniel Di Martino responds, “It wasn’t that I was rich; it was because politicians like him destroyed my country.”

Armas suggests young people who wear Che Guevara T-shirts are ignorant of history and of the number of people Guevara killed during and after the Cuban revolution. Surveys back him up.

In a 2017 opinion column for The New York Post, Karol Markowicz cited a 2014 report by the National Assessment of Educational Progress that showed “an abysmal 18 percent of American high school kids were proficient in U.S. history. When colleges such as Stanford decline to require Western Civilization classes or high schools propose changing their curriculum so that history is taught only from 1877 onward … it’s merely a blip in our news cycle.”

Markowicz also noted a 2012 story in Perspectives on History magazine by University of North Carolina professor Bruce VanSledright, who found that “88 percent of elementary school teachers considered teaching history a low priority.”

While the reasons are varied, she says, “VanSledright found that teachers didn’t focus on history because students aren’t tested on it at the state level. Why teach something you can’t test?”

When history is taught, especially at many liberal universities, there is often a bias against America because of slavery and the “invasion” of white Europeans who killed and displaced Native Americans. Markowicz concluded, “We talk often about how fractured our country has become. That our division increases while school kids are taught less and less about our shared history should come as no surprise.”

In her video, Zegers says, “Capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic system.” Even China, though still officially communist and socialist, has had to adopt more of the principles characteristic of capitalism to lift large numbers of people from poverty.

Socialism has long needed pushback in America from those opposed to it. President Trump has begun pointing out how harmful it is elsewhere. Zegers hopes to target young Americans with testimonies from people who have lived under the reality of socialism. ~The Patriot Post

California has curriculum modeled more

on marxism than on markets

By JONATHAN BUTCHE

{ thehill.com } ~ The California state seal declares “Eureka,” originally a Greek word that means “I found it,” and with good reason... After James Marshall discovered gold in the territory in 1848, the rush was on. By 1852, two years after California gained statehood, the population skyrocketed from 14,000 to 250,000. But times have changed, and people are now leaving. California is the second most expensive state to live in and has the second worst overall tax burden, according to the Tax Foundation. As if that is not enough, California lawmakers want the district schools to focus on progressive grandstanding instead of serving as a ladder of opportunity for children. The state is neglecting the responsibility of public schools to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need for the future. To wit, while 57 percent of black fourth grade students and half of hispanic fourth grade students cannot read at even a basic level, California Governor Jerry Brown signed a law in 2016 that required the state board of education to create a model ethnic studies curriculum, a project that is awash in ambiguous ideas and historical inaccuracies. Start with the definition. The draft materials define ethnic studies as “the disciplinary, loving, and critical praxis of holistic humanity.” Confused? There is a helpful footnote that says, “Throughout this model curriculum, language is used that deliberately offers an alternative to traditional wording that could have a particular context within the dominant culture. More information about these terms can be found in the glossary.” Parents will not know what their child is learning because the state is making up words, but at least there is a glossary. More harmful are the few intelligible ideas. As William Evers, a former member of the California Academic Content Standards Commission, recently pointed out in the Wall Street Journal, the model curriculum says capitalism is a “form of power and oppression” and such systems “dehumanize” people...

Seth Rich’s Family P.I. Confirms Our Worst Fears

By Tori McNabb

{ redrightvideos.com } ~ Since DNC staffer Seth Rich was murder in Washington, no solid answers have been found. No motive, nothing… until perhaps now... Rich was shot and killed in Northwest D.C. and police labeled it as a botched robbery. However, the online conspiracy theorist would let it go and have continued to tie his death to his work at the DNC. Now we’ve gotten word that there’s new information which may, in fact, prove the conspiracy theorists right! Seth Rich’s family hired P.I. Rod Wheeler to start digging for answers into his death. And Wheeler believes there is tangible evidence on Rich’s own laptop. And this evidence confirms he was communicating with WikiLeaks prior to his death! With this newfound discover, many questions are being asked. Among them, why did the D.C. police insist that it was a robbery gone bad when there was no evidence of that? Wheeler, a former police homicide detective, is running his own parallel investigation at the families request. Wheeler believes there’s a cover-up and the local police were told to back down…“The police department nor the FBI have been forthcoming,” said Wheeler. “They haven’t been cooperating at all. I believe that the answer to solving his death lies on that computer, which I believe is either at the police department or either at the FBI. I have been told both.”When asked if his sources have told him there is information that links Rich to Wikileaks, he said, “Absolutely. Yeah. That’s confirmed.” Wheeler also told the Fox affiliate in D.C., “I have a source inside the police department that has looked at me straight in the eye and said, ‘Rod, we were told to stand down on this case and I can’t share any information with you.’ Now, that is highly unusual for a murder investigation, especially from a police department. Again, I don’t think it comes from the chief’s office, but I do believe there is a correlation between the mayor’s office and the DNC and that is the information that will come out Tuesday.

Trey Gowdy Takes On The Clintons:

By Tori McNabb

{redrightvideos.com} ~ Trey Gowdy was on Fox News last night and said, on the scumbag/liar-Clintons, “entanglements” with the Dept. of Justice run much deeper than the average viewer knows... A little cryptic, he told Martha McCallum that “history will be much kinder to scumbag-Jim Comey than the July press conference than the Dems. were”. “I think he had access to information that, because he is a stand-up guy he’s not gonna disseminate classified information though God knows everybody else is…so all your viewers see is this meeting on the tarmac,” he explained. “scumbag-Jim Comey had access to additional information that I am convinced left him with no other choice but to make the decision he made in July,” Gowdy said. Host McCallum then asked if Gowdy was implying if scumbag-Comey was pressured into clearing scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton of wrongdoing. “No…he wanted to safeguard the integrity of the investigation, the integrity of the process, and I probably ought to just leave it right there,” Gowdy replied.“Trust me when I tell you this, Martha — I know what it was and I have been a critic of scumbag-James Comey in the past. But he made the only decision he could have made with respect to appropriating that decision away from the Department of Justice and making the decision himself.” “I only take away from that that you are suggesting that there were more entanglements between the scumbag/liar-Clintons and perhaps the Justice Department than everyone understands,” McCallum guessed. “You’re very perceptive,” Gowdy confirmed. I hate that Gowdy doesn’t plan to run again… he’s a force of nature that’s much needed on the hill these days.

scumbag/liar-nObama National Security adviser comes under heightened scrutiny for the 2017 unmasking’ of Trump officials

by Jerry McCormick

{ patriotnewsalerts.com } ~ In the final days of Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s presidency, numerous Trump campaign officials were “unmasked” by then-National Security adviser liar-Susan Rice... Now, it seems quite clear that the move was both unprecedented and politically motivated, according to One America News Network (OAN). Typically, during investigations as elaborate and secretive as the one into alleged collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign team and Russia, the identities of individuals being probed are protected. This is done to protect the individual from being scrutinized prior to the investigation being completed, and to prevent them from being falsely accused, particularly if no indictment ever materializes. Generally speaking, the number of people who can “unmask” a protected individual is kept to a minimum. However, during the latter part of the scumbag/liar-nObama administration, all of those protocols seemed to change. Not only were more officials given the authority to “unmask” the subjects of federal probes, but Trump officials were also unmasked for what seemed to be political reasons, according to OAN. At the time of the unmasking by liar-Rice, the scumbag/liar-Obama administration was investigating back-channel communications between the Trump campaign and the United Arab Emirates. Suspicions had started to arise when Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan came to New York in December 2016. Since UAE diplomats did not notify the United States of his travel, as is customary, everyone’s ears went up. So in early 2017, liar-Rice requested that Americans in a related classified report be unmasked. The overall concern was that the UAE was setting up back-channel communications between Russia and the Trump campaign. But based on the reports of UAE officials, who stated the meeting was nothing more than getting the president-elect’s “view of the region and what the U.S. role should be,” liar-Rice’s unmasking seems completely inappropriate. Now the question remains: What else did the scumbag/liar-nObama administration do wrong? https://www.patriotnewsalerts.com/obama-security-adviser-comes/

scumbag/liar-Hillary’s 30,000

deleted ‘yoga’ emails found

by wnd.com ~ Copies of nearly all of the emails scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton sent and received while she was secretary of state – including the infamous missing 30,000 messages... were stored at a cryptically named Gmail address, according to a new Senate report. The Daily Caller News Foundation reported the newly disclosed finding means that copies of classified and deleted emails likely existed on Google’s U.S.-based servers. The FBI, according to the Senate report, was aware of that fact and the suspicious explanation for it but did not alert other intelligence agencies or the public. The suspicious Gmail address was set up by an IT aide, Paul Combetta, who worked for a company that managed scumbag/liar-Clinton’s unauthorized server, Platte River Networks, according to the FBI. It was Combetta who used the software program BleachBit to permanently erase copies of scumbag/liar-Clinton’s emails after they were subpoenaed by the House. Combetta misled the FBI about his actions and was given immunity from prosecution, the Daily Caller noted. He refused to cooperate with the Justice Department Inspector General and with the authors of the Senate report about his use of the Gmail address. He previously pleaded the Fifth before Congress in September 2016 about his deletion of emails. The investigative team of Charles McCullough, the intelligence community inspector general, found that every one of scumbag/liar-Clinton’s emails except four were secretly copied to the the Gmail address, CarterHeavyIndustries@gmail.com, according to the report. McCullough investigator Frank Rucker told Senate investigators that when he brought the findings to Peter Strzok, the anti-Trump FBI agent seemed uninterested and did not ask any follow-up questions. A redacted and paraphrased version of the interview transcript was released Wednesday...

In the aftermath of mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, anyone standing between a Democrat politician and a TV camera would have been trampled to death in the stampede to publicly blame the shootings on President Trump.

One after another, they blamed the shootings on Trump’s “rhetoric” and his supposed racism, despite the fact that the Dayton shooter was a hard-core Elizabeth dinky-Warren supporter, and the El Paso shooter’s manifesto was comprised of a litany of left-wing grievances.

If Democrats are to be believed, Trump’s insisting that our borders be secured incites violence from the Right (which never seems to appear). But when will Democrats take responsibility for their coarsening of the public discourse, which has led to actual violence?

In the last few weeks, we have seen Democrat activists swarm Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s house screaming death threats, Democrat Rep. worthless-Ilhan Omar celebrating a violent attack on Sen. Rand Paul, and ads for a movie in which liberal elites hunt down and kill Trump supporters for sport. We’ve also seen Democrat Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez refer to ICE detention centers as “concentration camps”, shortly after which an antifa activist firebombed an ICE detention center in Tacoma, Washington.

Not to mention the violent physical assaults against Trump supporters that have been occurring with increasing regularity around the country, as you can see here, here, here, here, and here.

In light of these escalating tensions, it is unconscionable that a sitting Democrat congressman would intentionally incite violence against fellow Americans over political differences. Yet that is exactly what occurred last week.

Democrat Rep. Joaquin Castro (TX), brother of Democratic presidential candidate Julián Castro, posted on Twitter the names and employers of 44 San Antonio residents who donated the maximum allowable amount ($5,600) to President Trump’s reelection campaign, claiming, “Their contributions are fueling a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as ‘invaders.’” Among these donors were not only local business owners but retirees and homemakers.

Ironically, of the 44 doxxed donors, six had donated to the political campaigns of Juan and Julio Castro. One of those donors, William Greehey, a philanthropist who spent $100 million to fund a homeless campus project that serves mainly Hispanics, was furious, saying “he’s calling me a racist because I’m supporting Trump. I mean, this is just ridiculous… There’s a lot of things you don’t like about the president and his tweeting, but here Castro is doing the same thing with his tweeting.”

San Antonio real-estate developer Donald Kuyrkendall, who also previously donated to Julian Castro’s mayoral campaign, expressed concern for the safety of his wife and children and wondered what Castro’s goal is in outing Trump donors. He asked, “Were his intentions to incite people to picket Bill Miller’s barbecue or to come to Don Kuyrkendall’s house, you know, assault my wife, make nasty comments?” He continued, “This kind of silliness is not good for anybody, especially with the climate we have right now with two mass shootings in a weekend. There’s just no reason to highlight individuals and their companies… I don’t even know what he thinks we are — bad guys, because we support Republicans?”

Following the backlash over his despicable act, Castro disingenuously claimed he wasn’t trying to stoke harassment or violence against the outed donors. What, then, was the goal of the tweet? What did he want his supporters to do with that information?

As Trump campaign director Tim Murtaugh asked “How low have Dems sunk? This is Joaquin Castro, Congressman & chair of his brother’s campaign. Naming private citizens & their employers, targeting them for political views and exercising 1st Amendment rights,” and correctly noting, “At the very least, @Castro4Congress is inviting harassment of these private citizens. At worst, he’s encouraging violence.”

USA Today editor David Mastio called this a “dangerous escalation,” and political commentator Stephen Miller asked “What the [expletive] is this? Democrat candidates are openly targeting private businesses on social media now? … Would love the logic of telling people to give up their guns squared with these same people inciting a mob to attack a private business.”

One wonders if Castro would think this type of doxxing is still benign if the NRA posted a list of Castro’s donors with the caption, “Their contributions are fueling a campaign to strip you of your 2nd Amendment rights, leaving you defenseless!” Or if the National Right to Life doxxed donors to pro-abortion Democrats with the message, “Their contributions are fueling a campaign of death, paying for the murder of a MILLION babies last year!”

The political Left uses doxxing as a tool to intimidate, threaten, and destroy their political enemies. In 1958, the Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, upheld the right of the NAACP to keep its membership records (i.e., its donors) private, despite a subpoena from the state of Alabama. The reason should be obvious to any intelligent person.

We must now extend those same privacy protections to political donations and strip these disgusting thugs of a tool that is used to suppress free speech, facilitate political extortion, and threaten public safety. ~The Patriot Post

“We will get to the bottom of what happened. There will be accountability.”

– Attorney General William Barr on heating of Jeffrey Epstein’s untimely death

The timing and the circumstances surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death was perfect…Hollywood itself could not have staged it any better. And the Democrats are happily wallowing in that timing as it took the public’s attention off the much needed wall, the what is a “trade war” with China, mass shootings, as well as the circus that is the entirety of the Democrats presidential contenders…where by the way there is not a decent one in the bunch. And the timing put the spotlight back on sex…after all sex and sex scandals sells papers and bumps up media ratings better than any other news story can.

And Jeffrey Epstein’s story in itself would make a great movie if it wasn’t such a travesty from the get-go…if it wasn’t such an obvious case of “this guy needs to be permanently silenced” before he can squeal on those in high places in order to save his own sorry self.

22 states sue Trump over repeal of scumbag/

liar-nObama-era power plant rules

By REBECCA BEITSCH

{ thehill.com } ~ A coalition of mostly Democratic-led states has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, arguing its rules for addressing power plant pollution are so weak they violate federal law... Attorneys general from 22 states and several major cities including New York City and Los Angeles argue that the Trump administration's rule violates the Clean Air Act by having virtually no impact on carbon emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had finalized the rule in June to repeal and replace a capstone scumbag/liar-nObama-era carbon pollution regulation they say exceeded agency authority. The new replacement rule to the Clean Power Plan (CPP), deemed the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule, aims to give states more time and authority to decide how to implement the best new technology to ease net emissions from coal-fired plants. “Besides ignoring the science of climate change – the text of the ACE rule barely mentions climate change, much less recognizes the dire threat it poses to people’s health, the economy, and the environment – the rule disregards requirements of the federal Clean Air Act,” which requires regulators to use the “best system of emission reduction,” New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) said in a press release. The suit is the second against the rule, following one filed in July from the American Lung Association. "The ACE plan is trying to reduce the progress California and other states are making and keep failing coal pants on life support," California Air Resources Board Chair Mary Nichols said while standing alongside California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who is also joining the suit... https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/457252-22-states-sue-trump-over-repeal-of-obama-era-power-plant-rules

Renewable Energy Hits the Wall

By Norman Rogers

{ americanthinker.com } ~ If the official definitions of renewable energy were logical, renewable energy would be defined as energy that does not emit CO2 and that is not using a resource in danger of running out anytime soon... But the definitions written into the laws of many states are not logical. Hydroelectric energy is mostly banned because the environmental movement hates dams. Nuclear is banned because a hysterical fear of nuclear energy was created by environmental groups. Both nuclear and hydro don't emit CO2. Hydro doesn't need fuel. Nuclear fuel is cheap and plentiful. A large number of prominent global warming activists, such as James Hansen, Michael Shellenberger, and Stewart Brand have declared that nuclear is the only solution for the crisis that they imagine is approaching. For those of us who don't take global warming seriously, there is nothing wrong with using coal and natural gas to generate electricity. The CO2 emitted helps plants to grow better with less water, a great help to agriculture. In approximately thirty states that mandate renewable energy, the only scalable forms of renewable energy allowed are wind and solar. California mandates that 60% of its electricity come from renewable energy by 2030. Nevada mandates 50% by 2030. There are other types of official renewable energy, but they can't be easily scaled up. Examples are geothermal energy, wave energy, and garbage dump methane. Wind and solar are erratic sources of energy. The output depends on the weather. Solar doesn't work at night. Because they are erratic, there have to be backup plants, generally natural gas plants, that balance the erratic flow of electricity from wind or solar. The backup plants increase output when renewable energy output declines and vice versa. Because both wind and solar are subjected to periods of near zero output, the backup system has to be able to carry the entire load of the electric grid without the wind or solar. Neither wind nor solar can replace conventional plants. If you hear that a utility is replacing fossil fuel plants with wind or solar, that can't happen. The most that can happen is that the fossil fuel plants will use less fuel when the wind or solar is generating electricity. For a natural gas plant, the gas to generate a megawatt-hour of electricity costs about $20. That $20 is the economic value of each megawatt-hour generated by wind or solar. Unsubsidized, wind or solar electricity, either one, costs about $80 a megawatt-hour to generate. The difference between $80 and $20 is the subsidy that has to be paid in order to use wind or solar. As long as the percentage of electricity that comes from wind or solar is small, the grid can handle the erratic nature of that electricity. But if the penetration becomes large, severe problems start to emerge. Solar power is strongest in the middle of the day and weakens toward the end of the day. But the late afternoon and early evening, when solar is dying, are when power usage peaks in many locations. The graph below shows how the sun's strength varied in Las Vegas for July 2018...

Europe faces security threat from the

rise in Chinese military power

By GARY SCHMITT

{ thehill.com } ~ During the Cold War, the European allies of the United States were overwhelmingly focused on the strategic threat posed by the Soviet Union... When it came to the Middle East, the European powers had ceded responsibility for maintaining stability there to the United States following the 1956 Suez Crisis. Similarly, when it came to East Asia, China could be an irritant, but Beijing breaking with Moscow and the American web of security ties in the region meant Europe had little to be concerned about as a security matter when it came to the Asia Pacific arena. Today, that has all changed. Although Russia remains a strategic problem, the European powers are now deeply enmeshed in the power plays of the Middle East. China, once thought of as mostly an untapped market into which Europe could invest and to which it could export, has also become a matter of strategic concern. Last week, on a visit to Australia, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview that, while there were many reasons for the alliance to be in conversation with its Asian partners, there was a specific “need to assess the security consequences for all of us of the rising military power of China.” He added that this was not about NATO expanding its military presence in Asia, but rather about dealing with the fact that China was “coming closer” to Europe. Stoltenberg is right that the rapid growth in Chinese military power has consequences for NATO and Europe more generally. At a fundamental level, a rising and ambitious China must be deterred from undermining the security and stability of the Asian Pacific region. With security pledges and ties throughout the region, doing so falls mainly on the United States. The reality is, with Chinese military advancements, the ability to carry out that deterrent task is no longer a sure thing. For the Trump administration to successfully carry out its national security strategy, the United States will need to beef up its military presence in Asia and to modernize its forces to deal with the complicated array of defensive and offensive weapons that China has been putting in place since the late 1990s. The problem is that the United States military is only scaled in size and capabilities to handle a single major contingency, with little left over if that crisis becomes a conflict. For NATO, this means a fight in the East leaves the United States with no surge capacity to handle at the same time a Russian threat. Given the improving but still underperforming conventional capabilities of most of the major European NATO allies, this has created a strategic “black hole” that should worry military planners both in the Pentagon and at NATO headquarters in Brussels...

How scumbag-Al Sharpton

Abandoned Africa’s Slaves

By Charles Jacobs

{ americanthinker.com } ~ The eminent African-American economist Glenn Loury recently wondered in the New York Times why leading Democrats would defend scumbag-Al Sharpton, a man who is a blatant anti-Semite, an anti-white racist, and to many, a simple con man... loose lips liar-Joe Biden calls him “a champion in the fight for civil rights.” Elizabeth dinky-Warren says “he has dedicated his life to the fight for justice for all,” and lowlife-Kamala Harris lauds him as a man who “has spent his life fighting for what’s right.” Records show that President scumbag/liar-nObama had scumbag-Sharpton visit his White House 118 times. This, after scumbag-Sharpton’s many outrages: the Tawana Brawley rape hoax of 1987, the anti-Jewish Crown Heights riots of 1991, and the firebombing of a Jewish-owned Harlem fashion boutique in 1995. Loury suggests that any one of these things should have disqualified scumbag-Sharpton from national platforms, along with any praise by Democratic Party leaders. But there’s something else, something no less repugnant, and perhaps even more shocking, that should obliterate once and for all the perception of scumbag-Al Sharpton as a tough guy who never buckles when it comes to defending his race. scumbag-Al Sharpton is betraying black people currently enslaved in Africa. He went there. He spoke to them. He promised the slaves he met that he would awaken American blacks to their plight, but then he abandoned them. He abandoned them, I believe, because they are enslaved by Arab Muslims. A review of just how this came about should be instructive. In 2001, as scumbag-Sharpton contemplated a run for president in the 2004 election, he made a trip to Sudan to verify reports of the ongoing enslavement of Christian blacks there by Arab Muslims. Reports were emerging of Arabs from northern Sudan raiding black Christian villages in the south of Africa’s then-largest country, killing the men and enslaving the women and children. Full disclosure: At the time, I headed a movement to educate the public about modern-day slavery. We worked with the human rights organization Christian Solidarity International, which over the years redeemed tens of thousands of slaves in Sudan who were returned to their villages. To be fair, scumbag-Sharpton’s 2001 trip to Sudan required courage. He flew with CSI leaders into a war zone on one of CSI’s regular slave redemption missions to see and talk to the slaves. The mission was protected by the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA), a black militia defending southern villages against an onslaught that had over the years killed millions and enslaved tens of thousands, an onslaught that the Islamist rulers in Khartoum designated a jihad. scumbag-Sharpton was appalled. He said it was “outrageous that no nationally known civil rights group has gone over to Africa to criticize what is happening there.” He met with slave women, who showed him their scars from being beaten and raped. One asked him if the world knew of her people’s suffering; scumbag-Sharpton replied, “They don’t know now, but they will soon.”...

Do the Democrats Have an Issue?

By Steve Feinstein

{ americanthinker.com } ~ The poor Democrats: As the Russia collusion/Mueller investigation issue disappeared into nothingness like so much skywriting wisping away into the winds, so too did the surefire issue with which the Dems thought the White House would automatically be theirs in 2020... The candidate himself was irrelevant, an afterthought. We have it in the bag, the Dems thought. It's just a matter of to which person we bestow the privilege of the presidency this time around. Let's pick a good one: a woman. No, a woman of color. No, a gay. No, a Hispanic. Perhaps an American Indian. But that slam-dunk Russia issue is gone. scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler and scumbag-Adam Schiff are still flailing about, trying to collect their "undeniable" Russian collusion evidence and convince the rest of the Democratic caucus to initiate impeachment proceedings. It looks doubtful that that's going to come to pass. So the "president's a crook" angle apparently is not going to deliver a greased downhill slide into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for the Democrats. It appears — at this juncture, at least — that the Democrats will actually have to come up with a convincing policy platform in order to win the White House. They'll have to identify substantive issues of actual importance and persuade enough undecideds that the Democratic Party will improve their lives and make the country safer and more prosperous. What are their issues? What are the candidates putting forth thus far? Does any of them seem like a game-changer, the lynchpin to electoral victory? One policy they've all put forth, in one form or another, is a single-payer government-run health care system, sometimes referred to as Medicare for All. Almost all the Dems propose the elimination of the private insurance industry in favor of a European-style system. After all, health care is a "right," not a "privilege." Ah, but the devil is in the details. How, in actuality, do we get rid of the insurance industry? What happens to those millions of workers? How do we set up the federal health care bureaucracy? How long will that take? Medicare currently covers 80% of the Part B expenses — where will other the 20% come from that is currently funded by private insurance programs? Or will this new Medicare for All now cover all 100%? Has that been figured into the cost estimates? No Democratic candidate ever says. They probably haven't thought it through that far; they probably don't even know. Getting rid of the private insurance industry is a pipe dream, a hollow talking point. It will simply never happen. Never, and the Dems know it...

SCOTUS Sales-Tax Ruling Negatively Impacting Small Biz

Political Editors: Last year in a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled in South Dakota v. Wayfair that states could collect sales taxes on purchases made online from a vendor whose “physical presence” was not within the state of purchase. One of the prevailing arguments made in favor of states to tax online out-of-state purchases was that it would serve to protect small mom-and-pop businesses that were subjected to in-state sales taxes. That rational was dubious at the time, and the Court’s ruling has proven to most negatively impact these small businesses.

The Wall Street Journal reports that “states have since enacted disparate rules, which as we warned are straining small business. As a case in point, the Kansas Department of Revenue will now require all out-of-state retailers to collect sales tax no matter how much business they do in the state. This includes college students selling used textbooks on eBay and retirees hawking a few hand-made greeting cards on Etsy .”

Following the Court’s ruling, Investor’s Business Daily predicted that online retailers “will soon have to comply with nearly 10,000 different tax jurisdictions across the country in the 45 states that impose taxes. That means different rates, varying definitions of products, and a variety of exemptions. The resulting complexity is mind-boggling.” Well, prediction is now reality.

Evidence is now revealing that the real losers from this ruling are those same small businesses the online-interstate tax advocates claimed they were seeking to protect. While Justice Anthony Kennedy, who voted with the majority, asserted that “the physical presence rule … has limited States’ ability to seek long-term prosperity,” he seems to have ignored the fact that this prosperity comes at the expense of small business. Now, these businesses are accountable for paying taxes not only within the state of their physical presence but in all the states. So much for federalism. ~The Patriot Post

Repeal of the Cadillac Tax Would Be a

Strategic Mistake for Both Parties

By James C. Capretta

{ realclearpolicy.com } ~ On July 17th, the House voted 419 to 6 in favor of repealing the so-called “Cadillac tax.” This is the levy, enacted in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and now scheduled to go into effect in 2022... which imposes a 40 percent excise tax on high-cost employer-sponsored insurance plans. The Senate may soon follow the House by supporting repeal too, perhaps as part of a larger package of provisions extending tax breaks that might otherwise expire. Both parties are making strategic mistakes by supporting repeal of this tax. For Democrats, the rush toward repeal is particularly perplexing. This is a tax that was instrumental to the passage of the ACA. The scumbag/liar-nObama administration and many House Democrats were adamant that the ACA would not only extend insurance enrollment to many millions of uninsured Americans, it would do so while also reducing the federal budget deficit over ten years and the long-term. At the time of enactment in March 2010, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirmed that the bill would reduce the government’s ten-year and long-term budget deficits. The Cadillac tax was an important reason why CBO projected the law’s taxes would exceed the costs of subsidizing coverage for the uninsured. Further, the Cadillac tax was part of the “kitchen sink” approach to cost-control promoted by scumbag/liar-nObama administration officials. The authors of the ACA claimed they were willing to include in the legislation any and all good ideas for reining in spiraling health-care costs. President scumbag/liar-nObama was sold on the need for the tax as a cost-control device for private coverage despite the fact that he had attacked Senator rino-John McCain in the 2008 presidential race for supporting the taxation of health benefits for “the first time ever.” CBO and other analysts expect the tax will work to control costs by encouraging companies to seek out less expensive coverage to avoid the tax federal revenue rises when this happens because employers substitute higher cash wages, which are taxable, for untaxed fringe benefits. The president took a lot of heat for this flip-flop, but he and his advisers believed the benefits of the tax were sufficient to justify the political turbulence it would, and did, generate. Perhaps most damaging for Democrats is what repeal will do to their fiscal credibility. Democrats have spent the past two years denouncing the $1 trillion, ten-year tax cut passed in 2017 as a reckless giveaway for corporations and upper income households. But repeal of the Cadillac tax would also drain the Treasury, by $200 billion over ten years, according to CBO, including a $35 billion reduction in payroll taxes for the Social Security trust funds...

" Uniformed Division officers initiated road closures to vehicular and pedestrian traffic and MPD EOD responded to the scene and cleared the vehicle. Road closures remain in effect and will be lifted at the conclusion of the investigation." Multiple sources confirmed early Friday that the streets had been shutdown and Secret Service was on the scene investigating. The incident follows a week of controversy over a now suspended visit to Israel by Reps. worthless-Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) and worthless-Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.). The Israeli government denied both representatives entry to the country due to their support for the virulently anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement. Israel reversed its decision to block worthyless-Tlaib from entering the country, authorizing worthless-Tlaib to visit on humanitarian grounds. worthless-Tlaib declined to visit...

Israel Bans Jew-Haters worthless-Ilhan Omar

and worthless-Rashida Tlaib

by DOV FISCHER

{ spectator.org } ~ When I initially heard reports a few weeks ago that Israelis were going to allow Jew-haters worthless-Ilhan Omar and worthless-Rashida Tlaib into their country, I was quite surprised... Over the decades Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has demonstrated that, whatever flaws he may have, he is no idiot. His ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer, is equally perceptive. They both know that worthless-Tlaib and worthless-Omar are not that different from Nazis. Who allows Nazis into Israel — except to put them on trial? I could not believe that Netanyahu had lost his mind. Yes, he just had emerged from a national election in April that he and the Israeli right had won outright, but that was effectively nullified when the leader of one of the parties in the new right-wing coalition, hoping to double his party’s strength in the short term, pulled out last-minute in an effort to force a whole new election in September. So that can make someone nuts. And Israel’s politics — democracy on steroids, with 32 different political parties now registered to contend in next month’s Do-Over Election — can make anyone nuts. But Netanyahu has survived decades of craziness. Could he really have gone so nuts as to allow those two Jew-hating spigots into Israel? Like, what — Israel does not have enough terrorist supporters within her borders already? So it was refreshing indeed to hear Thursday’s news that worthless-Ilhan Omar and worthless-Rashida Tlaib, who seem to represent a long-underrepresented constituency of terrorist supporters and America-haters, will be barred from setting foot in Israel after all. Looks like worthless-Rashida Tlaib, to cope, will have to satisfy herself with her sense that the Holocaust was calming. And with Benjamin Netanyahu having made the decision to bar her, worthless-Ilhan Omar can tweet, “See, I told you it was about the Benjamins, baby.” Every country with even a rudimentary level of self-respect bars from her borders those non-citizens who publicly despise her and further seek to destroy her. America does. We even have banned Boy George, Amy Winehouse, and former UN Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim from setting foot here. England does. The United Kingdom has barred more than 100 people from entering her borders, including 20 Americans — including even Martha Stewart. All self-respecting countries have such bans. So it is normal for Israel to bar Jew-haters. There are plenty of neighboring Jew-hating countries with similar weather and topography where they can visit. Israel finally passed legislation a few years ago barring from her borders those who advocate “BDS” — Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions against Israel. Good for Israel. Thus, Israel likewise bans extreme-left self-hating Jews who promote BDS. It was long overdue for Israel to keep such people out, and no one appreciates more than do mainstream normative Jews when Israel acts publicly to tell False Jews, Phony Jews, and anti-Jewish Jews that they are not welcome...

America Can Stop China from Dominating

Artificial Intelligence--And Should

by Gordon G. Chang

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Artificial intelligence permits machines to mimic human functions such as driving vehicles, recognizing spoken words, and playing games of skill like chess and Go... Especially Go, the Chinese game of strategy. If China had an "AI Sputnik moment," it occurred in March 2016 when AlphaGo, developed by Alphabet Inc.'s DeepMind, took four out of five games from an 18-time champion in a challenge match in Seoul. By the following year, Beijing was pouring even more money into AI research. Beijing in 2017 supplemented the AI component of its Made in China 2025 initiative with its "Next Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan, a three-part effort to lead global AI by 2030. Furthermore, Beijing made sure its determination to dominate the field was shared across society. Business chieftains and policy analysts in China are much more focused on AI than those in the West, surveys show. The nationwide effort, Webb tells us, paid off. China, for instance, now publishes more AI machine learning papers than the United States. The West should be seriously concerned: whoever wins at AI will both dominate the global economy and field the most destructive conventional military force. To borrow a phrase, we are witnessing the "Rise of the Machines." What if those "machines" are Chinese? We need to ask what would happen if the world's most dangerous regime were to dominate the world's most powerful technology. We are getting a hint what will occur in what Beijing calls the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. There, facial recognition systems, powered by AI, are helping China's leaders to continually track inhabitants...

Is the Palestinian Authority Preparing

for a New Intifada?

by Bassam Tawil

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ The Palestinian Authority (PA) spent the Muslim feast of Eid al-Adha this week inciting against Israel because of Jewish visits to the Temple Mount, or Haram al-Sharif in Arabic, in Jerusalem... The site is also sacred to Jews and Christians: it is where the First and Second Temples had stood before being destroyed by the Babylonians in 587 BCE and by the Romans in 70 CE. The Western Wall, or so-called Wailing Wall, sacred to Jews, an ancient retaining wall of the Temple Mount, is all that remains of them. Depicting the peaceful visits as "incursions by Jewish settlers and extremists," PA officials and media outlets accused the Israeli government of repeatedly carrying out "provocations and assaults against holy sites in Jerusalem, particularly Al-Aqsa Mosque." Mahmoud Habbash, religious affairs adviser to PA President Mahmoud Abbas, went as far as describing the Jews visiting the Temple Mount as "terrorists." Habbash, who also serves as Supreme Shari'a Judge, also accused the Jewish visitors of "defiling the Haram al-Sharif and provoking the feelings of Muslims." He further appealed to all Muslims to "defend Al-Aqsa Mosque against Israeli conspiracies and barbaric violations." Habbash was echoing Abbas's notorious statement that Palestinians won't allow Jews with their "filthy feet" to "defile our Al-Aqsa Mosque." Abbas's statement came during a meeting with a group of Palestinians from east Jerusalem in his office in the West Bank city of Ramallah. Abbas even encouraged Palestinians to engage in violence by saying: "We bless every drop of blood that has been spilled for Jerusalem, which is clean and pure blood, blood spilled for Allah, Allah willing. Every shahid (martyr) will reach Paradise, and everyone wounded will be rewarded by Allah. We will do everything in our power to protect Jerusalem." A few days after Abbas made his statement in September 2015, Palestinians launched the "Knife Intifada" against Israel – which included a wave of terror perpetrated by individuals inspired by vicious incitement in the Palestinian media and urged on by Palestinian leaders. In the first 12 months of the terror attacks, mostly by stabbings and car-rammings, 40 Israelis were killed...

Trump Delays New Round of China Tariffs

Thomas Gallatin: On Tuesday, the United States Trade Representative office said that it was delaying the implementation of a third round of tariffs against China — tariffs that President Donald Trump had announced two weeks ago. The White House noted that the 10% tariffs on $300 billion worth of Chinese goods would now be put off until Dec. 15th, with the rational given of seeking to prevent Americans from having to pay higher prices on gift purchases prior to the Christmas holiday season.

While that explanation was certainly part of the calculation, as tariffs on foreign goods most impact consumers, in all likelihood the main reason for Trump’s tariff delay has much more to do with the recent news of an agreement to restart the stalled trade talks with China. It appears that both China and the U.S. are eager to get a trade deal done in the hopes of staving off a recession, fears of which have produced increasing volatility in the markets this month.

China is also clearly feeling pressure from the growing freedom movement in Hong Kong. The last thing Beijing wants is for these protests to spill out into mainland China, hence the recent movement of troops to the Hong Kong border. While China would love nothing more than to see Trump gone from office in 2020, with trouble growing in Hong Kong, Beijing can ill afford more economic contractions by putting off trade talks. Meanwhile, the tricky path Trump will have to navigate is to both vocally support Hong Kong’s freedom movement while at the same time work to secure a fair trade deal with China. ~The Patriot Post

School board has last-minute change of

heart over George Washington mural

by Zachary Leeman

{ bizpacreview.com } ~ The San Francisco school board voted this week to cover a George Washington mural at a local high school that depicts images of slavery and the death of a Native American... The 13-panel mural is called “Life of Washington” and though it will be preserved, it will be covered by panels that show “the heroism of people of color in America, how we have fought against, and continue to battle discrimination, racism, hatred, and poverty.” The school board voted 4-3 on the issue and the board president suggested the new panels. The board previously voted in June to paint over the mural. “I brought it back so if you’re upset with somebody, you can be upset with me,” school board president Steve Cooke said of the new plan. “I think we all agree that the murals depicts a history of the country that is hard to see and everyone agrees that that history is racist,” Cook said to KPIX. “I think where we disagree is if it’s appropriate for a school site.”“Lethal Weapon” actor and political activist Danny Glover, who is a San Francisco native, had previously spoken to the press about the issue and he actually wanted the mural to remain up, saying art is meant to make people “uncomfortable” sometimes. “You have to feel uncomfortable to sense what the past is and how the past is connected to the future, the present and the future,” the actor said. In a public statement, the actor compared covering up or removing the mural to “book burning.” “To destroy them or block them from view would be akin to book burning,” he said. “We would be missing the opportunity for enhanced historic introspection this moment has provided us.”...

Ignoring the Debt Will Come Back to Bite Us

by Romina Boccia

{ dailysignal.com } ~ Shrinking the national debt would do a world of good for the country. For one, it would allow us to ensure a strong national defense in the face of rising global threats... It would allow us to preserve and build on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to keep taxes low and unleash further investment. It would also boost incomes. A new analysis by the Congressional Budget Office found that shrinking the debt back down to its average historical level could boost incomes by $5,500 per person in 30 years. But rather than seize that opportunity, Washington keeps adding to the debt. The U.S. national debt just reached $22.3 trillion. When the debt limit was raised as part of the Mnuchin-liar-Pelosi budget deal recently signed by President Donald Trump, the debt took a big jump to account for the Treasury’s borrowing via loopholes “extraordinary measures” since it was last bound by a debt limit. That Mnuchin-liar-Pelosi deal will add $320 billion in new spending over the next two years, catapulting annual budget deficits well past the $1 trillion mark. Such wide deficits haven’t been seen since the years immediately following the Great Recession. Worse than previous budget deals agreed on during President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s tenure, the deals cut under the Trump administration ignore the excessive and worsening spending problem the nation faces and neglect to take deficits and debt seriously by failing to offset new spending with spending cuts elsewhere. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that over the next 10 years, this latest budget deal will increase deficits by $1.7 trillion... https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/08/14/ignoring-the-debt-will-come-back-to-bite-us/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ignoring-the-debt-will-come-back-to-bite-us&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiT1dSak1EQXpNRFUyWXpJdyIsInQiOiJJVlVIVDhXVCtpTjdrb0NpK3o3TU9XQWlvcGNFWk9zRE9oaEZSRGVkb3pVU05KXC9NTGlqQTJabE5IUUJqeG9ZcEh1dzNcL1pDUE0xZVFyMWhpZzR3cnV5dTJWV2paOFA1TkRtWUNVcG9ZR1ZhR0wrbHNINEhjSm1ndThlS2FFK215In0%3D

Daily Caller Exposes Reality v. Democrat

Delusion of Border Security

by bongino.com ~ The Daily Caller sent a reporter to, ya know, actually report on the situation at our border with Mexico. Liberal media take note... Instead of just running soundbites of your Democratic leaders who support open borders and no consequences for criminal activity, and publicizing photos or videos of young, even dead children, with zero background information, you should send a reporter to do their job. The video put together was incredibly eye opening, especially for the majority of the citizens of the United States who do not live on or nearby the border. It is easy to ignore reality at the border when one can easily flip the channel or read COSMOPOLITAN instead of legitimate news sources. One elderly man shows how easy it is to crawl under a weak wire fence and cross into Mexico and says he has had as many as 17 drug-packers standing in his front yard. A man who works with the Arizona border recon scrolls through dozens of articles referencing violent crimes such as rape that occurred at the hands of illegals. All of these are enraging to see paired with clips of presidential hopefuls Julian Castro painting a picture of a peaceful and secured border with plenty of security and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand saying, “they’re not criminals.”

Broken neck bone found in Epstein

autopsy fuels more questions

by Victor Rantala

{ bizpacreview.com } ~ The Washington Post reported on Thursday that the autopsy on Jeffrey Epstein found the sex offender sustained multiple breaks in his neck bones... according to two people familiar with the findings. Among those broken bones was the hyoid bone near a man’s Adam’s apple — an injury most often found in homicides where victims are strangled. The Post article stated however, “such breaks can occur in those who hang themselves, particularly if they are older, according to forensics experts and studies on the subject.” A hyoid can be broken in various ways but it is more commonly associated with homicidal strangulation than suicidal hanging, according to Jonathan L. Arden, president of the National Association of Medical Examiners. Arden told the Post that a finding of a broken hyoid requires pathologists to conduct more extensive investigation. Such an investigation would include analysis of the location of the noose, how narrow the noose is, and if the body experienced any substantial drop in the course of the hanging. He said that age is also an important factor, as the hyoid can break more easily after middle age. The details are the first to leak about the autopsy results. The office of Barbara Sampson, New York City’s chief medical examiner, completed the autopsy on Epstein’s body on Sunday, but the cause of death remains listed as pending. Sampson said in a statement that no single piece of evidence can be conclusive about a cause of death. “In all forensic investigations, all information must be synthesized to determine the cause and manner of death. Everything must be consistent; no single finding can be evaluated in a vacuum,” she said. The report adds to the controversy surrounding Epstein’s death while in federal custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan on Saturday...

scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler Tries To Mislead

A District Court Judge And The DOJ,

Gets Clobbered

by Elizabeth Vaughn

{ redstate.com } ~ Americans have moved on from the Russian collusion hoax, but House Democrats just can’t seem to let go... House Judiciary chairman, scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler, has two goals at the moment. He would like former White House counsel Don McGahn to testify before his committee. Additionally, he is seeking the secret grand jury information from the Mueller investigation. In order to prevent “attempts to game the system by shopping” for a friendly judge, cases are assigned to judges randomly. If two cases are related, it is sometimes possible to link them. This would be advantageous if a sympathetic judge had been assigned to the first case and the plaintiff believes the judge would rule favorably on the second case. However, the cases must be related. scumbag liar-Nadler tried to link the two above mentioned cases. The first, regarding the subpoena for Don McGahn, is a civil case and the second, their request to view grand jury material is a federal case. The House Judiciary panel claims the cases are related because they are both part of their “impeachment investigation” of Trump. They identify McGahn as the “most important witness, other than the President, to the key events that are the focus of the Judiciary Committee’s investigation.” In a one-two punch, scumbag liar-Nadler’s request was torpedoed by both the DOJ and the Washington, D.C. District Court Chief Judge, Beryl Howell. In a Tuesday court filing, the DOJ alleged that scumbag liar-Nadler and the other Democratic members of the Judiciary Committee were trying to exploit this exception. They argued: The panel improperly sought to connect the McGahn case to the grand jury case simply because they’re both part of their investigation of President Trump. This later-filed, subpoena-enforcement suit involves no issues of fact or law common to the earlier Grand Jury application, nor does it focus on a common event or transaction such that the matters would be ‘related.’...

Leftmedia Brands Trump a 'Racist'

Jordan Candler: Notwithstanding the cockamamie idea of impeaching Donald Trump, there are two primary strategies Democrats are using in the lead-up to the 2020 election: seeding a politically induced recession, and personifying Trump as an unmistakable racist.

The Washington Post went full throttle this week with the latter method, unashamedly asserting that Trump “is vexed by a branding crisis of his own: how to shed the label of ‘racist.’” The Post pontificates, “As the campaign takes shape about 15 months before voters render a verdict on his presidency, Trump’s Democratic challengers are marking him a racist, and a few have gone so far as to designate him a white supremacist.” The article then claims:

Throughout his career as a real estate magnate, a celebrity provocateur and a politician, Trump has recoiled from being called the r-word, even though some of his actions and words have been plainly racist. Following a month in which he used racist remarks to attack four congresswomen of color, maligned a majority-black Baltimore district as a “rat and rodent infested mess” and saw his anti-immigrant rhetoric parroted in a statement that authorities believe was written by a mass shooter, the risk for Trump is that the pejorative that has long dogged him becomes defining. … Trump recently called himself “the least racist person anywhere in the world,” but his history is littered with racist and racially charged comments and actions. [Emphasis added.]

Importantly, the Post isn’t accusing Trump of having used racist language. It’s effectively saying with certitude that he has and is using racist language. Which effectively makes him a racist. We won’t debunk every incident provided by the Post, but some reflection on the first assertion — that Trump “used racist remarks to attack four congresswomen of color” — provides all we need to know about its universal lack of impartiality.

Recall that Trump stated, “Why don’t [Reps. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, worthless-Ilhan Omar, worthless-Ayanna Pressley, and worthless-Rashida Tlaib] go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came[?] Then come back and show us how it is done.” To which our Nate Jackson responded, “Trump said what he said poorly, leaving himself wide open for the very assault he’s facing. He said what we think he meant far better in defending himself later. ‘These are people that hate our country,’ he said. ‘If you’re not happy in the U.S., if you’re complaining all the time, very simply, you can leave.’”

Jackson concluded: “Buried under Trump’s garbled prose is a legitimate point, and it has nothing to do with race. It has to do with loving or hating America and the political party guilty of the latter.” But the Post isn’t interesting in making that point, nor are any of the other Leftmedia outlets whose only agenda is portraying Trump as a racist to bolster support for Democrats in 2020 — the same strategy that’s behind the Left’s seeding a politically induced recession.

Amazingly, the Post in a separate piece claimed, “From race to plastic straws, Trump dials up culture wars in divisive play for 2020 votes.” It was the Left that dialed up the culture wars to obtain more votes. And it’s now steadfastly using the “racist” label to obtain even more votes.

Israel to bar US Congress members

worthless-Omar, worthless-Tlaib from visiting

by timesofisrael.com ~ Israel has decided to bar US congresswomen worthless-Ilhan Omar and worthless-Rashida Tlaib from entering the country... following fierce debates on the matter in the Prime Minister’s Office, Channel 12 reported on Thursday. The unconfirmed report, which did not cite a source, said the final decision was being drafted and passed around for revisions before the move is publicly announced. The reason cited for the move is reportedly “suspected provocations and promotion of BDS,” a reference to the anti-Israel boycott movement. Meanwhile an unnamed government official told AFP that was “a possibility that Israel will not allow the visit in its current proposed format.” The official said “Professional teams and legal counsel in various government ministries are continuing to examine the decision. According to Israeli law, the authority lies with the minister of the interior.” The official, however, added that “if Congresswoman worthless-Tlaib makes a humanitarian request to visit her family, the decision on her matter will be considered favourably.” The planned visit of the two controversial freshman lawmakers has made headlines in recent days after it was reported that US President Donald Trump was disappointed by Israel’s decision not to bar them from coming. Israel’s laws allow border authorities to turn away supporters of the anti-Israel boycott movement...

A Fourth ICE Facility Has Been Attacked

by JOHN JIANG

{ spectator.org } ~ Democrats’ rhetoric on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has come under increasing scrutiny following attacks across the United States against facilities associated with the agency... The latest attack came early Tuesday morning, when armed perpetrators shot at ICE offices in San Antonio, Texas, in what the FBI has described as a “targeted attack.” Though no one was injured, FBI Agent Christopher Combs said in a news conference that “had the bullets gone two inches in another direction, we could be here today talking about the murder of a federal official.” The number of perpetrators, their identity, and their motives are all currently unknown. According to Combs, however, all of the fired shots were directed at floors of the office complex allotted to ICE, indicating that the perpetrators had done research beforehand. The timing of the attack also suggests that it may have been intended to intimidate, rather than harm, ICE employees. This incident is only the most recent entry in a growing list of direct actions against immigration enforcement officials. A similar attack occurred on July 14, when a man associated with Antifa attempted to assault an ICE detention center in Tacoma, Washington, while armed with a rifle and “incendiary devices” and was fatally shot by police. The episode came just over a day after a mob of protestors descended on another ICE facility in Aurora, Colorado, on July 12, pulled down an American flag, and raised a Mexican one in its place. Then, on July 16, ICE headquarters in D.C. was the site of a large protest in which 10 people were arrested for unlawfully entering the building. It has become fashionable again, in the aftermath of the mass shooting by a white separatist in El Paso, Texas, to ascribe blame for political violence to President Trump and his allies. The knife cuts both ways. The national conversation has been awash with talk of “concentration camps” ever since the members of “the Squad” were elected to Congress, transforming a comparatively sedate status quo on immigration into hysterics about fascism and genocide. No doubt some of the ICE employees targeted by these attacks have been with the agency since the Bush presidency or the scumbag/liar-nObama era, when record numbers of immigrants were deported and children were kept in cages. Yet it is only now that the life and limb of these public servants are threatened, having been compared to Nazi camp guards by elected officials on Capitol Hill... https://spectator.org/a-fourth-ice-facility-has-been-attacked/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=98f1f66cb5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_08_15_02_28&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-98f1f66cb5-104608113

It’s Time To Officially Acknowledge That

Qatar Is A State Sponsor of Terrorism

By Jordan Cope

{ thefederalist.com } ~ Qatar boasts the world’s second-largest gross domestic product per capita. The wealthy oil emirate operates Qatar Airways, one of the world’s largest airlines... It hosts one of the world’s most influential state-sponsored news sources, Al Jazeera, and maintains significant influence in higher American education, donating more than $1.5 billion to some of America’s most well-known universities: the University of Michigan, the University of North Carolina, Northwestern, Texas A&M, and Cornell. For all its “contributions,” however, Qatar also has a dark side. It openly supports and harbors terrorists to a disproportionate and unparalleled degree for its size. Qatar’s actions prompted President Trump to recognize Qatar’s terror funding as being “on a very high level.” Despite this recognition, American administrations, even those as critical as Trump’s, have sidestepped the truth about this terrorism-sponsoring country. Instead, they have tended to celebrate the tens of billions of dollars that Qatar spends on American military and commercial equipment, as well as Qatar’s hospitality in allowing the stationing of thousands of U.S. troops. Regardless of its economic and military incentives, Qatar has long challenged American security interests, sustaining Hamas and other terrorist groups. In response to this reality, the State Department must finally designate Qatar as a state-sponsor of terror, as it has done for others that have “repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism.” First and foremost, Qatar’s ties to Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist group that avows Israel’s destruction, are overwhelming. As one of Hamas’s largest funders, Qatar has provided the terrorist organization more than $1.1 billion since 2012. While Qatar often justifies its funding as humanitarian, the course of its funding, as well as the current emir’s statements, suggest different true motives. Qatar’s emir refuses to regard Hamas as a terrorist organization and supported Hamas on the record. During a CNN interview, Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani proclaimed, “Qatar supports ‘all Palestinian people. We believe Hamas is a very important part of the Palestinian people.’” Considering its support for Hamas, Qatar has often digressed from its supposed humanitarian cause, having explicitly funded the Hamas hierarchy... https://thefederalist.com/2019/08/15/qatar-state-sponsor-terrorism/?utm_source=The+Federalist+List&utm_campaign=ffc9231ed0-RSS_The_Federalist_Daily_Updates_w_Transom&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_cfcb868ceb-ffc9231ed0-83771801

US makes last-minute move to seize Iranian supertanker detained in Gibraltar

By Greg Norman

{ foxnews.com } ~ The U.S. has a made a last-minute move to seize an Iranian supertanker that was captured in Gibraltar last month by authorities... who suspect the vessel was trying to provide crude oil to Bashar Assad’s Syrian regime in violation of European Union sanctions. Gibraltar’s government announced Thursday that its Supreme Court adjourned a scheduled decision on whether to release the Grace 1 ship until later in the day after it received notice that the U.S. Department of Justice is seeking to extend its detention. The Iranian vessel has been held in the British territory since July 4 and officials from the Islamic Republic have been demanding its release, signaling that if Gibraltar parts with the ship, they may free the U.K.-flagged Stena Impero – an oil tanker captured in the Strait of Hormuz two weeks later. "The U.S. Department of Justice has applied to seize the Grace 1 on a number of allegations which are now being considered," the Gibraltar government said in a statement, adding that the matter would be reviewed by the court at 4 p.m. local time (10 a.m. ET).The Gibraltar government has said it was seeking to "de-escalate" the situation over the Grace 1, the Associated Press reports. Signaling preparations for the expected release of the ship Thursday before the U.S. intervened, the captain, an Indian national, and three officers of the Grace 1 had been released from detention, a Gibraltar government spokesman said... https://www.foxnews.com/world/us-moves-to-seize-iranian-supertanker-detained-in-gibraltar

Chancellor Angela Merkel’s alleged freeloading on the backs of the U.S. and other NATO member states that have contributed the 2 percent of gross domestic product might cause the U.S. to relocate its troops stationed on German soil to Poland. “We said we want to achieve 1.5 percent by 2024. And that is our common will,” Merkel said on Wednesday, according to Reuters. U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell told Fox News on Wednesday: “The Wales Pledge was made in 2014 and it gave a 10-year runway to get to 2 percent by 2024.” In 2014, members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization pledged, at the Wales Summit, to spend 2 percent of GDP on defense. Merkel has indicated, however, that her interpretation of that is “toward 2 percent,” not an obligation. Speaking on Tuesday in Stralsund, Germany, she said: “So this means in the direction of 2 percent, and we will continue to go in this direction also after 2024.” Critics see Germany playing with semantics regarding its obligation. Last week Grenell suggested the U.S. should pull its troops from Germany if the country does not increase its required spending... https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2019/08/14/angela-merkel-ignores-nato-defense-pledge-snubbing-us-demands-to-spend-more-gdp/

Abusing the Impeachment Process

Hans von Spakovsky

On three separate occasions, Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, has introduced a resolution to impeach President Donald Trump. Each time, the House of Representatives has voted it down.

And with good reason. Consider Green’s latest resolution. No matter how much one opposes Trump, it would have been a serious misuse of the House’s impeachment power. The 95 members who voted for it either do not understand or do not care about the purpose and proper use of this procedure.

Green’s resolution said that the president should be impeached because he is “unfit to represent” American values of “decency and morality” and “respectability and civility.” It also cited Trump’s criticism of four Democratic House members.

There is no doubt that Green deplores Trump and disagrees with his policies on many important issues. The question, however, is whether such matters are properly the basis for seeking to nullify the last election by removing the president from office. They are not, as we explain in a new research paper on the history of impeachment.

In drafting the Constitution, America’s founders provided for impeachment not as a partisan political weapon, or as an alternative to elections, but as a way to address serious misconduct by the president or other federal officials — conduct that betrays the public trust, breaks the law, or otherwise renders them unfit for office.

The 1787 convention that produced the Constitution carefully defined the conduct that warranted impeachment. The delegates rejected broad, vague language such as “malpractice or neglect of duty” as well as a narrow category limited only to treason and bribery. Instead, they chose the phrase that appears today in Article II, Section 4: “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

This phrase had been in English law for centuries, and the founders knew what it meant. It designates behavior that, as Professor John McGinnis puts it, is “serious objective misconduct that bears on the official’s fitness for office.”

To date, neither Green nor any other representative has made the case that the president has engaged in such misconduct. In fact, Green’s resolution doesn’t attempt to do so. It is simply an expression of outrage at the personality, character, behavior and speech of the president.

America’s founders were clear about the meaning and proper use of impeachment, and American history counsels against abusing this power. In the 19th century, radical Republicans impeached President Andrew Johnson because they disagreed with his plans to implement President Abraham Lincoln’s conciliatory policies towards the Southern states. The impeachment articles claimed that even Johnson’s speeches amounted to “high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

Historians have condemned the Johnson impeachment as rash, reckless, and unwarranted. House members improperly turned Johnson’s legitimate decisions as president into impeachable offenses simply because they disagreed with those decisions. With rhetorical excesses similar to those directed today against Trump, radical Republicans tried to portray Johnson as a “wild-eyed dictator bent on overthrowing the government.”

Shortly before the Johnson impeachment, C.M. Ellis addressed “the causes for which a president may be impeached.” Neither the House nor Senate, he wrote in The Atlantic, may act arbitrarily. Rather, they must be guided by rules about the proper purpose and use of impeachment. That counsel is needed just as much today as it was in 1867.

The arbitrary, partisan use of impeachment represented by the Green resolution is at odds with the nature of impeachment as it was practiced in England and understood by those who drafted and ratified the Constitution. It is incompatible with the republican form of government guaranteed by the Constitution. It would allow 285 members of Congress — a simple House majority and two-thirds of senators — to remove a duly elected president for partisan reasons or over matters of personality and style.

This should not be laughed off as just partisan fun and games. It’s a dangerous, anti-democratic maneuver that flouts the principles on which our republic was founded and threatens its stability. ~The Patriot Post

The Longest-Lasting Conspiracy Theory

by Denis MacEoin

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ How often have we seen commentaries concerning the situation in Gaza, the West Bank and Israel, made with intensity, even passion, which purport to tell readers the "facts" about Israel?... They often narrate falsehoods that might put to shame a string of fraudsters, conmen and conspiracy theorists. It seems, at times, that there is no limit to anti-Semitic modern fantasies about the Jewish state of Israel that overwhelm the even older libels about Jews controlling world affairs, as in the totally fraudulent forgery of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Today, we are given to believe that it is Muslim Palestinian children who are slain by sneering Zionists and that the government of Israel works hand in hand with a global network of Christians and Jewish bankers, politicians, and media bosses. It is not surprising to see ordinary folk taken in by anti-Semitic meanderings and anti-Israel fiction. A 2015 study by Chicago political scientists, J. Eric Oliver and Thomas J. Wood, provided evidence that belief in conspiracies and other falsehoods is widespread even in the United States: Using four nationally representative surveys, sampled between 2006 and 2011, we find that half of the American public consistently endorses at least one conspiracy theory and that many popular conspiracy theories are differentiated along ideological and anomic dimensions. In contrast with many theoretical speculations, we do not find conspiracism to be a product of greater authoritarianism, ignorance, or political conservatism. Rather, the likelihood of supporting conspiracy theories is strongly predicted by a willingness to believe in other unseen, intentional forces and an attraction to Manichean narratives. These findings both demonstrate the widespread allure of conspiracy theories as political explanations and offer new perspectives on the forces that shape mass opinion and American political culture. Human beings are by nature gullible and willing to take on board all manner of bunkum before breakfast. How else to explain the popularity of arch-conspiracists such as Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin? Of course, dictators like Hitler and Stalin can enforce their twisted notions by threats and force. In democracies, however, regardless of the open availability of verifiable information from libraries, universities, colleges, and government agencies, large numbers of people fall for any number of fantasies promulgated by internet trolls, the tabloid press, and, not infrequently, politicians with axes to grind... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14412/conspiracy-theory

Can Nuclear Power Be Saved?

By JONATHAN LESSER

{ nationalreview.com } ~ Whither nuclear power? That question has become more important as energy policies evolve to emphasize emissions-free “green” energy and an increased electrification of the U.S. economy... Some environmentalists consider nuclear power to be crucial to reducing carbon emissions; others continue to vehemently oppose nuclear power and believe that our energy must come solely from renewable sources. The public, encouraged into hysteria by dramatizations of nuclear-plant accidents such as the film The China Syndrome and HBO’s Chernobyl, is split. Meanwhile, the nuclear-power industry itself is in a parlous state for a variety of tangled reasons. In a recent Manhattan Institute report, I broke them down into four categories: (i) decades of construction cost overruns and plant delays because of poor designs, lack of manufacturing expertise, and changing regulations; (ii) political squabbling over spent-nuclear-fuel disposal; (iii) energy policies, including renewable-energy subsidies and mandates, that have distorted electric-power markets and made it harder for nuclear plants to compete; and (iv) lower natural-gas prices and more efficient gas-fired generators. In the past few years, threatened plant closures have led state policymakers to award subsidies to eleven existing plants. More such subsidies are likely forthcoming, if for no other reason than some nuclear-plant owners wanting their share of the subsidy pie. “Nice plant you got there,” they seem to be saying to local economic stakeholders. “Be a shame if something happened to it.” Nevertheless, nuclear power provides valuable benefits. It is highly reliable and emissions-free. It provides generation diversity, which can reduce the adverse effects of fuel-price shocks. It does not require backup and storage, unlike wind- and solar-power generation. And new designs for nuclear plants promise lower costs and improved safety. Then again, the nuclear industry has long promised lower costs — and failed to deliver. When actual construction begins, costs always seem to balloon, owing to a combination of poor manufacturing and changing safety regulations. SCANA Corporation’s partially built and now abandoned Santee Cooper nuclear plant, which led to that company’s purchase by Dominion Energy, and Southern Company’s delayed Vogtle plant, are just the latest examples...

In North Philly standoff, alleged cop shooter

Maurice Hill has a long criminal history

by Samantha Melamed, Jeremy Roebuck, Dylan Purcell and Craig R. McCoy

{ inquirer.com } ~ Police sources identified the gunman in a standoff at a Tioga apartment building that left six police officers injured as Maurice Hill, 36... a Philadelphia man with a lengthy history of gun convictions and of resisting attempts to bring him to justice. The police sources declined to be identified because they were not authorized to speak. Reached by phone about 9:30 p.m. Thursday evening, Shaka Johnson, the lawyer who most recently represented Hill, confirmed that Hill had a connection to the standoff. “My client is requesting me to come to the scene,” he said. The standoff began Wednesday about 4:30 p.m. when a Narcotics Strike Force unit attempted to serve a search warrant at a house on the 3700 block of North 15th Street. For the next few hours, police used bullhorns and phone calls, trying to get him to surrender. https://www.inquirer.com/news/philadelphia-police-shootings-six-shot-suspect-maurice-hill-20190815.html?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar

Navy Issues Draft Request for Proposal for

Large Unmanned Surface Vehicle

By: Sam LaGrone

{ news.usni.org } ~ The Navy has put a call out to industry to send in ideas for its planned fleet of corvette-sized unmanned surface vehicles... according to a draft request for proposal announced on Wednesday. The draft RFP for the Large Unmanned Surface Vehicle program starts the work of transitioning the effort from the Pentagon’s Strategic Capabilities Office two-hull Ghost Fleet into a full-fledged shipbuilding program. The draft comes ahead of a final RFP due out later this year. “The LUSV will be a high-endurance, reconfigurable ship able to accommodate various payloads for unmanned missions to augment the Navy’s manned surface force,” read a summary of the program. “With a large payload capacity, the LUSV will be designed to conduct a variety of warfare operations independently or in conjunction with manned surface combatants. The LUSV will be capable of semi-autonomous or fully autonomous operation, with operators in-the-loop controlling remotely or on-the-loop enabled through autonomy.” A USNI News questions for additional details on the general requirements for the program was acknowledged by a Naval Sea Systems Command spokesman but not immediately answered. As part of the fiscal year 2020 budget, the Navy asked for $400 million to build two LUSVs that are about 200 to 300 feet in length with a displacement of about 2,000 tons as a research and development program, officials told USNI News earlier this year. An unmanned surface industry day earlier this year drew almost 80 companies interested in the work, USNI News has learned. The plan is for the first two LUSVs to closely follow the SCO’s two Ghost Fleet ships developed for the unmanned Ghost Fleet Overlord program. The initial hulls are based on designs similar to Offshore Support Vessels that have been used by the oil and gas industry... https://news.usni.org/2019/08/14/navy-issues-draft-request-for-proposal-for-large-unmanned-surface-vehicle?utm_source=USNI+News&utm_campaign=3bcd8d5755-USNI_NEWS_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0dd4a1450b-3bcd8d5755-231491269&mc_cid=3bcd8d5755&mc_eid=3999f18767

Open Borders Inc.: Who's Funding the Wicked War on ICE?

Michelle Malkin

All the gun control zealots out in full force last week have apparently gone to the beach. An alarming shooting took place at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices in San Antonio on Tuesday. Local media reported that “multiple shots were fired on two floors targeting ICE officials.” But the Second Amendment saboteurs were AWOL.

Hello? Hello? Anybody home? Federal government workers are under literal fire for enforcing our immigration laws and protecting America. But the left-wing Moms Demand Action ignored the story. So did the anti-gun Brady Campaign agitators. And the usual stampede of camera-hogging Democratic presidential candidates lost their unquenchable thirst for the spotlight to blame “hate speech” for inducing violence.

The vacuum is bipartisan. With few exceptions, Beltway Republicans have also lost their tongues when they should be relentlessly smashing the open borders wall of silence about this escalating anti-ICE terror campaign. The San Antonio attack comes just one month after an antifa extremist ambushed an ICE detention facility in Tacoma, Washington, armed with a rifle and incendiary devices. The vengeful antifa gunman had assaulted a police officer last year at the same location, received a wrist slap, and then published a manifesto that declared: “I strongly encourage comrades and incoming comrades to arm themselves.”

The Tacoma terrorist had also invoked the incendiary ICE-bashing rhetoric of commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Her diatribes on ICE centers as “concentration camps” were, in turn, borrowed from and amplified by rent-a-mobsters who demonized Homeland Security employees at a string of summer demonstrations against ICE facilities the past two years — from the lawless hellhole of Portland to the D.C. swamp to the Big Apple criminal sanctuary to my adopted home state of Colorado, where the American flag was ripped from its post and replaced with the Mexican flag by still-unidentified vandals on the loose.

The same hysterical demagogues who are blaming me for the El Paso shooting because my first book on immigration in 2002 was titled “Invasion” are silent about the climate of hate wrought by:

–The New York Times op-ed page’s brazen call to target ICE and Border Patrol agents and their families.

–WikiLeaks’ “ICE Patrol” personal information and location database targeting more than 9,000 ICE employees, from auditors to young research assistants and interns, electricians, IT analysts, field intelligence officers, translators, anti-terrorism experts and detention and deportation agents.

–Twitter’s publication of bloody hate speech by antifa and Abolish ICE thugs, including Occupy Wall Street’s graphic cartoon advising followers on how to stab an ICE agent in the chest “and pull out his still beating heart.”

Who’s funding the wicked war on ICE? For starters, open borders billionaire scumbag-George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, his son Alex’s Jewish social justice nonprofit Bend the Arc, scumbag-Soros-backed CREDO Action, and the scumbag-Soros-funded Center for Popular Democracy, United We Dream and Make the Road New York have all subsidized and stoked hatred of ICE and the Border Patrol.

This is not anti-Semitism, white nationalism or white supremacy. It’s fact.

And it’s not a conspiracy “theory” that scumbag-Soros’ money has fueled dangerous immigration anarchy. It’s conspiracy truth.

Even more shocking is how much of the toxic propaganda undermining the men and women on our Homeland Security frontlines is being underwritten by unsuspecting taxpayers, churchgoers and consumers.

In the coming weeks, I will be exposing the global financiers and government programs promoting the campaign to “melt ICE,” turn the Border Patrol into the “diaper patrol,” open the floodgates to every last unvetted Muslim refugee and unassimilated, low-wage Central American laborer, and erase the America my legal immigrant parents taught me to cherish.

My seventh book, “Open Borders, Inc.: Who’s Funding America’s Destruction,” will be released on Sept. 10, 2019. I’ve compiled nearly 500 pages and 12 appendices and maps tracing tens of billions of dollars spent or received by 400+ nonprofits, religious charities, legal organizations, political lobbying groups, businesses and government contractors, backed up by 1,600-plus footnotes to educate my fellow citizens.

Border security and restored sovereignty start with defunding the funders of America’s destruction, and then prosecuting them as criminal open borders racketeers. Follow the money; find the truth. ~The Patriot Post

By Vandana Rambaran

{ foxnews.com } ~ At least six Philadelphia police officers were shot, one reportedly grazed in the head, in an ongoing shootout in the city's Nicetown neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon... that has been unfolding for almost four hours. Three officers were rushed to Temple University Hospital, officials told Fox 29. Three other officers were taken to Einstein Hospital, at least one of them was shot in the arm. All six officers were in stable condition and being treated for non-life threatening injuries. "Fortunately, everybody is going to be okay," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross told reporters on Wednesday, even as the shooter refused to surrender to officers during ongoing negotiations. Two other officers, including a police sergeant, were injured in an accident related to the emergency response and were being treated for non-life threatening injuries. High-ranking police officials said two officers with the Narcotics Strike Force were serving a warrant at a multifamily home -- in what may have been a drug-related offense -- when a shooter opened fire at the home. The two officers were barricaded in separate rooms with as many as four suspects. Hostage negotiators and a SWAT team were on the scene. "Officers are attempting to communicate with the shooter; imploring him to surrender and avoid further injuries," Philadelphia Police Department Sgt. Eric Gripp tweeted...

Mike Pompeo inches closer to Kansas U.S.

Senate run and seeks advice

from Steve Bannon...

By EMILY GOODIN

{ dailymail.co.uk } ~ Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is said to be inching closer to running for Senate in Kansas and has reached out to Steve Bannon as he contemplates his next move... Pompeo spoke to the former White House counselor about the contest, according to the Washington Examiner, as Bannon's feud with Donald Trump has calmed down. Bannon 'claimed that Pompeo was leaning towards a run,' according to the newspaper. Pompeo - a former congress man from Kansas who served as Trump's CIA director before moving to the State Department - has given mixed messages about his future plans. In February, Pompeo publicly ruled out a Senate run. But he told a Kansas radio station last month: 'I always need to be open to the possibility that something will change and my path in life will change too.' His allies have told donors to wait on him to make a final decision before adding their weight to the contest, Bloomberg News reported. Pompeo spoke to Bannon last month shortly before Trump tweeted praise for his former adviser, with whom he's had an up-and-down relationship, particularly in the wake of Michael Wolff's 2018 book 'Fire and Fury' on the administration. 'Nice to see that one of my best pupils is still a giant Trump fan,' the president tweeted in early August along with video of an interview Bannon gave CNBC. Many Republicans, including GOP Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, are urging Pompeo to run for retiring Senator Pat Robert's seat...

Israel Gets Ready to Fight a Multifront War

by Seth Frantzman

{ meforum.org } ~ Israel's Ministry of Defense has revealed a new program to design a combat vehicle for the future. Three prototypes, showing off the latest technology that will enable manned and unmanned vehicles to secure terrain... were on display in a dusty field below a series of hills. Beyond one of the hills was a fake village, constructed to resemble the kind of environment Israel might have to fight in during a battle in Lebanon. It was a fitting place for Israel to be discussing the battlefield of the future, while a simulation of the current battlefield is in the background. For Jerusalem the challenge is facing well-known adversaries, such as Hezbollah and Hamas, while looking further afield at an Iranian threat now entrenching in Syria and Iraq. The unveiling of the new program comes just a few days after a Palestinian militant fired on an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) patrol near the Gaza Strip, wounding an officer and two soldiers. According to the IDF, the troops returned fire and killed the assailant. A Hamas military post was targeted in retaliation by an IDF tank. Later the same day shots were fired at Israeli forces in the West Bank. In addition, local media in Syria accused Israel of carrying out an airstrike on the Golan Heights near the armistice line. That day's activities suggest that a conflict on three or more fronts is brewing for Israel. Israeli media, officials and defense analysts have been warning about a scenario since 2017. The IDF has been working on the assumption that the next war could be fought simultaneously on multiple fronts. Former Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot, who has said Israel struck more than one thousand Iranian targets in Syria in the last years, asserted last year that Israel faces challenges in Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, Gaza, and in Sinai. In addition, a sixth layer should be added to this, one that includes Iraq, which is where Israeli jets reportedly struck targets. According to this scenario, Israel sees some Iraqi Shi'ite paramilitaries, which are linked to Iran, as a threat. Potential threats include paramilitary militias that could join a future conflict by cutting through Syria to the battlefield and Iranian supplied precision-guided missiles based in Iraq. These Iraqi Shi'ite paramilitaries, such as Kata'ib Hezbollah, are linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which Washington has designated a terrorist organization. Israel hasn't faced a multifront conflict like this since 1973. At that time the war was fought between Israeli conventional forces and the armies of Egypt, Syria, as well as elements of Iraqi armored divisions and other allies of the Arab states. Today the situation is dramatically different. As a result, Israel is honing its hi-tech military to be more precise, effective, and agile using artificial intelligence, drones, and missiles that fly further than before...

Why Blacks Should Ignore the Liberal Agenda

by Walter E. Williams

{ dailysignal.com } ~ There is discrimination of all sorts, and that includes racial discrimination. Thus, it’s somewhat foolhardy to debate the existence of racial discrimination yesteryear or today... From a policy point of view, a far more useful question to ask is: How much of the plight of many blacks can be explained by current racial discrimination? Let’s examine some of today’s most devastating problems of many black people with an eye toward addressing discrimination of the past and present. At the root of most of the problems black people face is the breakdown of the family structure. Slightly over 70% of black children are raised in female-headed households. According to statistics about fatherless homes, 90% of homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes; 71% of pregnant teenagers lack a father figure; 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes; 71% of high school dropouts come from fatherless homes; and 70% of juveniles in state-operated institutions have no father. Furthermore, fatherless boys and girls are twice as likely to drop out of high school and twice as likely to end up in jail. One might say, “Williams, one cannot ignore the legacy of slavery and the gross racism and denial of civil rights in yesteryear!” Let’s look at whether black fatherless homes are a result of a “legacy of slavery” and racial discrimination. In the late 1800s, depending on the city, 70% to 80% of black households were two-parent. Thomas Sowell has argued, “The black family, which had survived centuries of slavery and discrimination, began rapidly disintegrating in the liberal welfare state that subsidized unwed pregnancy and changed welfare from an emergency rescue to a way of life.”...

{ propublica.org } ~ Following a detailed account of how scam artists can easily gain access to health care cash... six Democratic senators this week sent a letter to federal regulators urging them to “close loopholes” that allow “bad actors” to commit fraud. The letter came in response to a recent story by ProPublica and Vox that traced the brazen scam of a Texas personal trainer, who despite having no medical credentials was able to submit a blizzard of fake bills with some of the biggest insurance companies in the country and recoup millions. The story revealed not only how David Williams exploited weaknesses at each step, but how slowly the insurers responded to his ongoing fraud. Williams’ con, for which he was later prosecuted, was initially enabled by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The federal agency issues and administers National Provider Identifiers, or NPIs, the unique numbers medical providers need to bill insurance plans. ProPublica found that Medicare doesn’t check the credentials of medical providers who apply for NPI numbers, such as whether they have valid licenses, which means scammers can lie to obtain them. Williams obtained at least 20 NPI numbers and used them to bill insurers. The insurers he scammed — Aetna, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare — then allowed his fraud to proceed for years, largely unchecked. The companies also failed to verify that Williams was a licensed physician, even as he billed them for complex, and expensive, office visits as an out-of-network provider. Instead, they paid him more than $4 million over a span of four years, despite alerts from his ex-wife and her dad about his scam. Williams was convicted of four counts of health care fraud in 2018 and sentenced to about nine years in federal prison. The insurers declined to comment on his fraud. Current and former investigators for health insurers and federal prosecutors said the simplicity of Williams’ scam, combined with weak oversight and enforcement, raises questions about what’s being done to combat rampant health care fraud. Experts estimate fraud consumes about 10% of the country’s $3.5 trillion health care tab — although the story found that large swaths of fraud are not being tracked. Those losses are eventually passed on to the public in the form of higher monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs as well as reduced benefits...

American INF Withdrawal Will Help

Contain China

Harold Hutchison: Those who criticize the withdrawal of America from the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty cite the new arms race with Russia as a big negative. The thing is, that is too small a view. There is another major power that we should be thinking about: the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

PRC arguably has a huge edge in sub-strategic nuclear warfare. This is because while the 1987 INF Treaty required the United States and Soviet Union to get rid of any land-based missiles with ranges between 300 and 3,000 miles, China was not a party to that deal. That meant it not only got to keep its current missiles (at the time) but it could develop and deploy more modern missiles over the 32 years that treaty was in force.

This is why American carriers now face the highly hyped Chinese DF-21 anti-ship ballistic missile, among other threats. While China may not have a lot of these missiles, what it does have already forces America to make some real adjustments.

The good news: The United States Navy uses the RIM-161 Standard SM-3 missile, which has been very successful in tests. It can reliably knock down missiles like the DF-21. But that is where the good news ends for the Navy.

To take out an incoming target, it’s not always a case of firing one missile and scoring a hit. Usually, to guarantee a hit, standard operating procedure is to fire two or more missiles, as the USS Mason (DDG 97) did when fired upon by Iran’s Houthi stooges in 2016.

Suppose a hostile country had 24 of these missiles. If you assume three missiles fired per incoming missile, the initial salvo would consist of 72 missiles. While an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer has a total of 96 missile cells, those are used to do more than just shoot down ballistic missiles.

Burke-class destroyers also provide anti-aircraft defenses, which require surface-to-air missiles like the RIM-66 Standard SM-2 and the RIM-174 Standard SM-6. It will also need point-defense missiles like the RIM-162 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile or the RUM-139 Vertical-Launch ASROC for anti-submarine missions. Then, of course, there is the BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missile.

All of a sudden, 72 SM-3s seem like a bit much for one ship to have. That’s even before one considers the risks of putting all those eggs in one basket. There is the option to spread out the missiles among other ships (either Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers or other Burke-class destroyers), but then each ship has its other missions compromised.

The thing is, the U.S. can turn that around on the Chinese. Imagine if they could develop new ground-based cruise missiles — say, versions of the Tomahawk (or a replacement) for land-attack roles. Base those in South Korea, Vietnam, and Japan, and China would then have a whole new set of problems. In a similar vein, a ground-launched version of the Navy’s AGM-158C based on Palawan Island or near Haiphong would give Chinese ships in the South China Sea something to worry about. That wouldn’t even include the United States having mobile intermediate-range ballistic missiles deployed in the region as well.

The deployment of land-based missiles in Poland, Norway, Romania, and the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania could have the same effect on Russia as it does on China — especially with the Navy having a huge shortage of hulls in the water.

The fact is, withdrawing from INF ranks as one of President Trump’s smartest moves. In today’s lawless world, arms-control treaties are increasingly just a sucker’s game that is as effective on the international stage as gun control has been in cities like Chicago and Baltimore.

Judge slaps down Dem gambit in

Trump impeachment probe

By Ronn Blitzer

{ foxnews.com } ~ A D.C. federal judge on Wednesday shot down an attempt by House Judiciary Committee Democrats to link their subpoena for former White House counsel Don McGahn... to a separate request for secret grand jury information from the Russia investigation after the Justice Department accused them of trying to "game the system." Normally cases are assigned to judges randomly, which the DOJ said is meant to keep parties from “attempting to game the system” by “shopping” for a judge they like. But in a Tuesday court filing, the department alleged the Democrat-controlled committee was trying to do exactly that by exploiting an exception that allows “related” cases to be heard by the same judge. In this case, the DOJ said the panel improperly sought to connect the McGahn case to the grand jury case simply because they're both part of their investigation of President Trump. "At first blush, the House Judiciary Committee's view that the related case rule applies is understandable," D.C. District Court Chief Judge Beryl Howell wrote in her order rejecting the bid. "Nonetheless, closer examination demonstrates that these connections between the two cases are too superficial and attenuated for the instant McGahn Subpoena Case to qualify." Howell, who is currently assigned to the grand jury case, agreed with the DOJ's argument that the committee’s request to unseal secret grand jury information from former special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe has to do with the application of the law under the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, while the McGahn case is a civil matter dealing with enforcing a subpoena where immunity has been asserted. “This later-filed, subpoena-enforcement suit involves no issues of fact or law common to the earlier Grand Jury application, nor does it focus on a common event or transaction such that the matters would be ‘related,’” the DOJ argued in its court filing... https://www.foxnews.com/politics/judge-dem-trump-impeachment-probe

Mollie Hemingway slams media for deceptive coverage, calls the new low a ‘turning point’

by Frieda Powers

{ bizpacreview.com } ~Mollie Hemingway slammed the media for going “beyond journalistic responsibility” in coverage of last week’s two mass shootings... The senior editor of The Federalist spoke out on Fox News Channel’s “MediaBuzz” about the “turning point” for America’s media during a discussion on the accusations against President Trump, who was essentially being blamed for the shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. “There is no longer any pretense of a debate. Journalists, commentators say, as we just heard, President Trump is a racist, President Trump is a white supremacist and maybe leap into charging that he is condoning, inciting, that he’s directly responsible for mass violence,” host Howard Kurtz began on the show Sunday. “It was really horrible what we saw this week,” Hemingway agreed. “We had two horrible mass shootings and we had people in the media kind of absolve both of the shooters of their crimes in order to blame President Trump and his voters for mass murder,” the Fox News contributor added. “This is completely beyond journalistic responsibility and a real turning point for the worst in American discourse.” Kurtz wondered if the media are at “a point where the President can do nothing right, and many journalists have basically become part of the Resistance?” Hemingway drew attention to the differences between the El Paso and the Dayton shooters. “There was a shooter who had these anti-immigrant viewpoints and there was a shooter who was very supportive of Antifa and Elizabeth dinky-Warren and what not, it’s not like he was saying out of thin air,” she contended...

How The Federal Government Nullified the

Second Amendment to 'Ban' Automatic firearms

By William Sullivan

{ americanthinker.com } ~ There are two competing theories being debated today about American individuals’ “right” to gun ownership... The original theory is that Americans enjoy a fundamental right to self-defense, in order to preserve one’s person and property against any neighbors or government agents who might act against one’s individual liberty. This is a natural right that predates our government’s formation, and was therefore enshrined in the Constitution by some very forward-thinking liberals of their time. In the words of the Second Amendment: A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. It should not be difficult for anyone with a passing grasp of the English language to understand that it is the “right of the People” that is protected in that sentence, and it is clearly not the expression of a peculiar power owned by the newly-founded centralized government created by our Constitution. Such straightforward, simple language in our Bill of Rights was actually suggested by Samuel Adams and John Hancock to accommodate the antifederalists at the Massachusetts Convention of 1788 and to avoid confusion about the new government’s limited powers, meant to guarantee that “the Constitution shall never be construed… to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.” Adams thought far too much of future generations, clearly, because a second, competing theory has emerged within the last 100 years which suggests that gun ownership is not a right, but a privilege granted by the government, and the kinds of firearms allowed to peaceable citizens depends on what neighbors and government agents would deem allowable at any particular point in time...

A Supermassive Black Hole At Our Galaxy’s

Center Flared Out, Astronomer Says

by MATT M. MILLER

{ dailycaller.com } ~ The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy emitted a bizarre flash of light... an astronomer studying the phenomenon said. The flash likely occurred around May 13, and was uncharacteristic of the normal celestial behavior of the black hole, Sagittarius A, at the center of the galaxy, according to Science Alert.“I was pretty surprised at first and then very excited,” Tuan Do, assistant researcher at the UCLA Division of Astronomy and Astrophysics, told Science Alert. “The black hole was so bright I at first mistook it for the star S0-2, because I had never seen Sgr A* that bright. Over the next few frames, though, it was clear the source was variable and had to be the black hole. I knew almost right away there was probably something interesting going on with the black hole,” he continued. Do and his team captured the anomaly at WM Keck Observatory in Hawaii. He tweeted a condensed time lapse of the flash. Do speculates that since the first frame taken during the observation was the black hole’s peak brightness, it could have been even brighter before they began observing it. “One of the possibilities is that the star S0-2, when it passed close to the black hole last year, changed the way gas flows into the black hole, and so more gas is falling on it, leading it to become more variable,” he added. Scientists are continuing to gather more data on the event so a solid explanation can be reached.

Rep. scumbag-Al Green Admits That

Impeachment is Just a Political Strategy

by restoreamericanglory.com ~ Rep. scumbag-Al Green (D-TX) has been one of the loudest voices on the left calling for the impeachment of Donald Trump... Representing a constituency that likely still believes that they voted for the legendary singer of such classics as “Take Me to the River,” scumbag-Green has proposed articles of impeachment against Trump numerous times since January 2017, only for his proposals to be knocked down time and again by his own party. But while scumbag-Green usually talks a good game about Trump’s supposed crimes and unfitness for office, this weekend he came about as close as any Democrat has come to admitting that the best part about impeaching Trump is that it would weaken him for the 2020 election. Meaning…this isn’t about carrying out a constitutional duty or protecting the nation from a wicked tyrant. It’s just about winning next November. “Fifty-one percent of the American public believes that the president is a racist,” scumbag-Green said on MSNBC this Sunday. “Fifty- one percent. It is one thing to want to defeat the president at the polls, but it’s another thing to understand that we have to impeach the philosophy that he’s perpetrating upon society. If we impeach the philosophy, we take on a broader threat to society than just defeating him at the polls.“If he is not defeated in the Senate, he will still run as an impeached president and there will be a good many people who won’t want to hold fundraisers with him — a good many people who won’t want to be in his company because he will become persona non grata to a good many of these wealthy people who are benefiting from his bigotry,” scumbag-Green continued. So, first of all, this is a ridiculous theory. If there are people who voted for and fundraised for Trump in the past, why would a Democrat-run impeachment change their minds about supporting him this time around? If anything, we imagine that this transparently political ploy to reverse the results of the election would only make his rich supporters that much more determined to see him win again. After all, wealthy Trump supporters believe in democracy, too. Second, how is this a cogent argument for impeachment? We know, we know, “impeachment is a political process.” But while that may be the cold reality of the situation, it’s really not true in a constitutional sense. Impeachment should be reserved for the actual wrongdoing of a president. High crimes, misdemeanors, and the rest, right? It shouldn’t be: Oh, we don’t like him, and hey, if we do this, maybe he’ll lose some of his donors! That’s a perversion. Nonetheless, we continue to hope that scumbag-Green gets his way. Nothing would guarantee Trump a second term like a failed impeachment attempt by this corrupt party.

Signs of Summer's Eb

Tom McLaughlin

{ tommclaughlin.blogspot.com } ~ Looking out over the yard two weeks ago I noticed spider webs on the lawn sparkling with morning dew That’s been a sure reminder that summer break is past its late-July halfway point and schools will be reopening in a matter of weeks. Today, crickets are chirping in the yard during daylight hours and that’s an August sign that fall is getting even closer. The autumn chill the past few mornings brings a certain fragrance with it and nothing brings back memories more powerfully than familiar smells.

It’s been more than eight years since my retirement, but from ages six to sixty my life was dictated by the academic calendar as student or teacher. These distinctly New England sights, sounds, and smells will always affect me the same ways. I would feel a combination of lament for the fading summer mixed with dread and pleasant anticipation of going back to school. Soon the big yellow school bus will go by my house at 7:00 am. I’ll look up from my reading and remember all those times I’d be heading out the door to follow close behind it. Not anymore though, because I’m no longer captive to the academic calendar. Now I can choose how to spend my day. I can go anywhere, do anything.

For example, watching sunlight fill the day with a camera in my hand is one of my favorite things. That’s more difficult from May through July when the sun clears the horizon around five am. I’m usually up by 4:30 but I prefer to shower, exercise, dress, and drink coffee before going out. From late August through November, it is much easier to accomplish that. Being out and about at dawn is usually a solitary endeavor, but sometimes I’ll see another dawn person on my sojourns. I’ll nod to them or perhaps say good morning, but they usually enjoy their privacy as much as I do. They’ll nod back and then we’ll each go our own way.

Watching daylight fade at dusk is another special time. I like to be out and about then too, but so do many others. Unlike the solitude of dawn, twilight is more of a social time, especially in late summer and fall when daylight diminishes at an accelerating rate — from two minutes per day June to July — to three by end of August. By September 1st those small increments have added up to the point where daylight has diminished by two hours since school let out in June. In early August we see the first leaves turning red, usually on maples stressed by various factors like too much or two little water. Sumacs change early as well and sometimes it starts as early as July. Certain ferns turn yellow and then brown. Soon the sweetish smell of decaying vegetation can be detected after a rain.

For months, there’s been a big pile of tree-length hardwood in my back field. It’s hard to estimate but there are probably twelve cords plus or minus, and it needs to be cut and split. I used to do that work every year at this time, and I may go out there and do a little just for old time’s sake — but that’s all. I miss the unique fragrance given off while splitting red oak and I want to experience that again, but I don’t need the wood. It’s all there because I asked someone to cut the trees beyond the field that were getting too tall and blocking some of our view. I didn’t think it would amount to that much firewood, but a former student has agreed to work it up in September.

In a few more weeks people will be donning an extra layer as they go out in the morning. Some may even start a fire in the wood stove. Then they’ll look at their wood piles and think about adding to them. It’s hard to get motivated to do that kind of thing in August when the temperature is in the 80s every day. It makes me tired now to remember myself as a young man spending two August weeks getting out my firewood, hauling it home, and sweating off ten or fifteen pounds in the process. I’ve been heating with oil the past several years and only keep around a little wood for the fireplace. These days I’d rather go out and take pictures to sell — then pay someone else to work up all that wood.

New 2,273-Page Regulation From Medicare

Illustrates The Problems With Single Payer

By Christopher Jacobs

{ thefederalist.com } ~ What do provisions in a federal regulation, released on a sleepy Friday in August, have to do with the raging debate regarding single-payer health care?... As it turns out, plenty. By definition, single-payer health care assumes that one payer will finance all the care provided by the nation’s doctors, hospitals, and other medical providers. But this premise comes with an important corollary: Funding all medical providers’ care through a single source means that source—the federal government—must pay those providers the right amount. Paying providers too much wastes taxpayer resources; paying them too little could cause them to close. Would a centralized federal bureaucracy ensure that all the country’s medical providers get paid the right amount under single payer? Suffice it to say that this conservative harbors significant doubts, and not just because the United States has a larger and more diverse population than European countries with socialized medicine systems. Consider, for instance, the regulation governing Medicare inpatient hospital payments for 2020, which the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released on Friday, August 2. That 2,273-page regulation—no, that’s not a typo—included major changes to Medicare payment policies. Most notably, the final rule changed the Medicare hospital wage index. For years, hospitals in rural areas have complained that the current wage index exacerbates wage disparities, under-paying hospitals in low-wage and rural areas, while over-paying hospitals elsewhere. According to CMS, the final rule increased the wage index for many rural hospitals, while slightly reducing payment rates to other hospitals, because CMS must implement the change in a budget-neutral manner. Consider also a comment made several years ago by Donald Berwick, former CMS administrator and a strong advocate of single-payer health care. In a 1993 interview, Berwick said that “I want to see that in the city of San Diego or Seattle there are exactly as many MRI units as needed when operating at full capacity. Not less and not more.”...

NY Times Misreports Major Parts

of Trump’s Economic Plan

by Carrie Sheffield

{ aim.org } ~ The New York Times misreported major aspects of President Donald Trump’s economic agenda in its reported article that reads more as an editorial... “Trump’s Push to Bring Back Jobs to U.S. Shows Limited Results.” “From tax cuts to relaxed regulations to tariffs, each of President Trump’s economic initiatives is based on a promise: to set off a wave of investment and bring back jobs that the president says the United States has lost to foreign countries,” the Times starts out, while then narrowing in on a few, cherry-picked anecdotes that ignore positive macroeconomic conditions achieved under President Trump’s tenure. In a story about job creation, the Times makes no mention of record-low unemployment achieved during the Trump administration, including among women, black Americans and Latinos. The Times mentions deregulatory efforts in passing in its lead paragraph, but then doesn’t actually report anything about deregulation and its positive effect on the economy. The Times fails, for example, to mention the White House’s Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) estimating an approximate $3,100 benefit per household resulting from regulatory reform. This estimated benefit amounts to a huge pay raise for each family. The Times’ Jim Tankersley also makes no mention about wage growth, especially for those on the lower end of the economic scale. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, median weekly earnings for all workers in the second quarter 2019 increased by 3.7 percent over the year. And Heritage Foundation analyst Adam Michel wrote for the Foundation For Economic Education–facts that the Times ignores–about how in April, “the unemployment rate for Americans with a high school degree fell to the lowest rates since before the Great Recession...

‘We’re all in the closet’: Trump’s Hamptons supporters go underground

By Isabel Vincent

{ nypost.com } ~ President Trump’s Hamptons supporters have gone underground. While Trump attended two big-money fundraisers for the Republican Party and his 2020 re-election campaign at mansions in Southampton and Bridgehampton on Friday... many of his East End supporters are eschewing the spotlight — especially after last week’s calls for boycotts of billionaire Stephen Ross’ gyms because he hosted the president. “We are all in the closet,” said a boutique owner in Southampton who fears reprisals from his customers — most of them moneyed Democrats — if he speaks openly about his allegiance to Trump. “It’s like you have this disease and people want to run away from you.” A builder based in Westhampton worried that his customers would boycott his services if he reveals his support of the president. “People have really strong opinions here and if you go around wearing a MAGA hat, you really need to fear physical violence,” he said, adding the anti-Trump aggression comes mostly from summer residents. Trump won 51.5 percent of the vote among year-round residents of Suffolk County in the 2016 election, compared to 44.6 percent for Democrat scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton. In 2008 and 2012, most of the county voted for Barack scumbag/liar-nObama. Despite the recent shift, many of Trump’s core supporters fear speaking out, especially during the summer months, when beachfront villages from Westhampton to Montauk are filled with left-leaning visitors from New York City...

Killing Free Speech in Canada

by Judith Bergman

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ In May, Canada launched a so-called Digital Charter, meant to promote "trust in a digital world". The charter contains ten principles... three of which deal with "hate speech and disinformation". The charter, said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, will target fake news and hate speech online. "The platforms are failing their users, and they're failing our citizens," he said. "They have to step up in a major way to counter disinformation. And if they don't, we will hold them to account and there will be meaningful financial consequences." "The Government of Canada," the charter says, "will defend freedom of expression and protect against online threats and disinformation designed to undermine the integrity of elections and democratic institutions. Canadians can expect that digital platforms will not foster or disseminate hate, violent extremism or criminal content." "There will be clear, meaningful penalties," it adds, "for violations of the laws and regulations that support these principles." As has become standard in such cases, the charter contains no definition of what constitutes "hate", making it a catchall for whatever the Canadian government deems politically inopportune. This is all exhaustingly familiar by now: Germany already has legislation that requires social media platforms to censor their users. Social media companies are obliged to delete or block any online "criminal offenses" within 24 hours of receipt of a user complaint; the German government can fine them up to 50 million euros for failing to comply with the law. France is working on it. The Digital Charter was launched the week after Canada signed the "Christchurch Call to Action -- yet another government-led drive for more censorship in the name of fighting "terrorist and violent extremist content online"... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14570/killing-free-speech-canada

Longshot 2020 Democrat Says “Powerful Forces”

on the Left Are Smearing Her Campaign

by patriotnewsdaily.com ~ She’s flailing in the polls, her New Age spirituality has made her the most meme-worthy Democrat on the debate stages, and she doesn’t seem to have a prayer of winning the nomination... But Marianne Williamson claims that Democrats are running scared of her insurgent campaign, which has, to be fair, garnered more coverage than many other, more established competitors. In an interview with the Daily Mail this week, Williamson said that there were “powerful forces” on the left desperate to wreck her campaign and keep her off the next Democratic debate stage. As far as forces on the left go, Williamson is right about one thing: She has been attacked and vilified by liberal pundits more than almost anyone else in contention for the nomination. Just in the past month, we’ve seen left-wing bloggers assail the self-help guru for peddling a philosophy that puts the individual above the group, a person’s triumphant inner self over their life circumstances. This is, of course, a cardinal sin for any Democrat, who must always see people as being victims of SOCIETY and the many injustices therein. For a self-help author to suggest that people can overcome those circumstances…well, that just doesn’t get it. It’s far better to blame the white man. Of course, since starting her campaign, Williamson has done plenty of that as well.Nevertheless, Williamson says that criticism of her ideas is part of a “well-strategized effort to smear me.” “There’s no doubt about that,” she told the Mail. “It’s very frustrating because I like to think on the left we don’t do things like that. [Editor’s note: HA!] So it’s been a bit of a wake-up call. But apparently there’s some very powerful forces that want to make sure I’m not in that third debate so I must be doing something right if they’ve worked so hard to create that.” Once again: HA! The left, of course, does nothing BUT eat their own. If you don’t have the right opinion as a black man or as a woman or as a New Age spirituality teacher, you will be devoured by their groupthink mob. They’ve turned on Bill Maher, they’ve turned on Sam Harris, they’ve turned on loose lips liar-Joe Biden, and of course they aren’t going to tolerate Marianne Williamson, who, while she may be for reparations, doesn’t necessarily think that everyone’s problems are perpetuated by The Man. To the left, there is only one acceptable way to view minorities – be they African-Americans, women, gays, or fat people: They are victims of the oppressors. If you’re not carrying the torch for that philosophy, you might as well be a Nazi.

DHS Updates Immigration Rule Limiting Welfare Recipients

Thomas Gallatin: On Monday, the Trump administration released its update to rules on immigration applicants that aims to limit the number of impoverished immigrants allowed to legally enter and remain in the U.S. Acting Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Ken Cuccinelli explained, “This is really an example of President Trump enforcing long-standing law that required people coming to the country or that wanted to be here long term to be self-reliant. That self-sufficiency is a core American value, and it is central to the purpose of this rule.”

Under the update, U.S. immigration authorities will view applicants’ use of government assistance programs as a negative mark against them when considering their eligibility for a temporary visa or a green card. National Review notes that “the rule change will affect those migrants seeking to enter the U.S. and those who entered the country illegally but wish to obtain legal status. [Department of Homeland Security] officials will take into account would-be immigrants’ education, skills, employment history, health, and a number of other factors to determine whether they are likely to become dependent on the government.”

The change broadens the scope of the “public charge” rule that in 1996 had been limited to only cash-assistance programs to now include non-cash government assistance programs. The change is aimed at limiting the number of new migrants who take advantage of the nation’s welfare programs. As The Wall Street Journal reports, “The use or potential use of a benefits program such as Medicaid, some types of housing assistance or food stamps could disqualify an applicant.”

The idea that the kind of immigrants who the U.S. should seek are those who are primarily motivated by the opportunities afforded by Liberty and not those looking for government-provided handouts has been long held throughout most of America’s history. And this latest effort by Trump is intended to restore this perspective on immigration within the U.S. government. Preventing further abuse of America’s arguably overly generous welfare programs is the goal. ~The Patriot Post

President Trump Signs The “Legion Act” –

6 Million Americans Are Going

To Receive New Benefits

By Adam Casalino

{ patriotjournal.org } ~ Every day, Trump scores more and more wins for the American people—but the mainstream media refuses to cover most of them... I guess they’re busy propping up candidates like loose lips liar-Joe Biden or Elizabeth dinky-Warren. I guess real news is too much for them these days. President Trump has a special place in his heart for our troops. Especially our veterans, those men and women who risked it all to keep us free. He’s already scored major wins for veterans with landmark legislation. And now he just signed a bill that will help 6 million Americans in need. “President @realDonaldTrump has signed the LEGION Act, allowing the @AmericanLegion to extend benefits to 6 million additional veterans!” Wow. According to the White House on Twitter, President Trump has just signed the LEGION Act which will extend the benefits of the American Legion to 6 million additional veterans. Specifically, the bill will extend eligibility for The American Legion to more veterans. This new law will extend eligibility to any honorably discharged veteran who has served between officially recognized times of war. Before this, those who fought during conflicts not deemed “war” by Congress could not join the Legion. They faced the same kind of danger, risked their lives, suffered through much. But were denied benefits and programs because of what was essentially a technicality. Now, all veterans since WWII forward will be able to join. That means many more Americans can have access to care and support. Many of them for the first time since they served. This is yet another example of how President Trump is working to support our veterans...

China Agrees to Restart Trade Talks

as White House Delays New Tariffs

By MAIREAD MCARDLE

{ nationalreview.com } ~ After several weeks in which negotiations over a potential trade deal between the world’s two largest economies had stalled, Chinese and U.S. officials spoke over the phone Tuesday... with China’s Ministry of Commerce announcing afterward that the two powers plan to speak again in the coming weeks. “Both sides agree to talk again on the phone within two weeks,” the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement. Chinese vice premier Liu He spoke Tuesday night with U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin, according to the statement. They were joined by Chinese commerce minister Zhong Shan and Central Bank governor Yi Gang. News of the reignited negotiations came as Lighthizer’s office announced the U.S. will delay a planned 10 percent tariff on $300 billion of Chinese imports. In May, the White House raised tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese imports from 10 percent to 25 percent, claiming Beijing had reneged on previously agreed terms of a trade deal. The U.S. also currently has a 25 percent tariff on $50 billion worth of Chinese high-tech products. China has hit back with tariffs of up to 25 percent on $60 billion worth of U.S. products.

China’s Infiltration of Universities

Around The Globe

by John Glynn

{ frontpagemag.com } ~ According to FireEye, a cybersecurity company headquartered in Milpitas, California, a group of state-sponsored hackers in China ran activities for personal gain... at the same time as undertaking spying operations for the Chinese government in 14 different countries. In a report released on Thursday, July 8th, the authors outlined the ways in which elite teams of Chinese government-backed hackers are using non-public malware typically reserved for espionage to make money through attacks on video game companies. Hackers have repeatedly gained access to game development environments, with a particular focus on in-game currency, according to the FireEye report. In one example, hackers successfully appropriated tens of millions of dollars of virtual currency and credited the loot to more than 1,000 accounts. As Josh Taylor at The Guardian notes, China’s “attention to video game companies could be seen as a precursor to espionage activity.” Then again, espionage is something at which the Chinese regime excels. Kathrine Hill at FT warns readers that China has sent “thousands of scientists affiliated with its armed forces to western universities — especially in countries that share intelligence with the US — and is building a web of research collaboration that could boost Beijing’s military technology development.” Over the past decade, roughly 2,500 researchers from Chinese military universities have spent time at universities in the west; many of these are informants hide their military affiliations. This is not conjecture. Researchers at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), a think-tank partly funded by Australia’s department of defense, have focused on members of the so-called “Five Eyes,” a group of countries with which the US exchanges intelligence and scientific findings. The “Five Eyes” include UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Interestingly, since 2013, researchers affiliated to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) have published more joint papers with scientists from the UK and the US than with those of any other country... https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/274579/chinas-infiltration-universities-around-globe-john-glynn

Hong Kong International Airport seizure almost certainly means a Chinese military response

by Tom Rogan

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Beijing will regard protesters as crossing a red line in causing the suspension of flights at Hong Kong International Airport... In a limited but highly public manner, the function and power of the Chinese state has ground to a halt. President Xi Jinping and his minions believe that the current situation, one in which flights have been suspended for the past two days, cannot continue. That's not so much a result of the damage to Hong Kong's economy or the disruption these protests are causing to passengers. It's because the protests are visibly undercutting the Chinese Communist Party's supreme authority. For the standing committee in Beijing, that undercutting is utterly intolerable. This is not to say that China wants to use military force to crush the "Umbrella" protest movement. Beijing knows that the visual of Peoples Liberation Army soldiers bashing young protesters into submission would be disastrous for the regime's international reputation. It would be seen, possibly, as a second Tiananmen Square atrocity. While vicious authoritarianism is the defining hallmark of the Chinese Communist Party, Beijing needs to provide a credible pretense to the contrary. That pretense is crucial if Xi is to succeed in expanding his Belt and Road economic initiative. Ultimately designed to supplant the U.S.-led democratic international order, Belt and Road involves generous Chinese investments abroad in return for Chinese market dominance and feudal political fealty. But for the Chinese communists, no concern matters nearly as much as the well understood supremacy of the state's authority. The principle must be enshrined, Beijing believes, in order to prevent any future resistance against the state. Hence why Beijing's escalating threats to use force in Hong Kong cannot be discounted. If protesters continue to shut down Hong Kong International Airport, Xi will deploy the military to crush them.

No Longer Apathetic,

Russia's Youth Join the Rallies

by voanews.com ~ Russia's growing number of political rallies are drawing many young people who - until now - had largely ignored politics... VOA's Yulia Savchenko in Moscow says a lack of economic opportunities and - lately - images of police brutality against demonstrators are among the reasons why Russian youth are joining the rallies.

Left Longs for Politically Induced Recession

Jordan Candler: In June of last year, HBO’s Bill Maher asserted, “I think one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy. So please, bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people, but it’s either root for a recession, or you lose your democracy.” A few weeks ago, Maher again acknowledged, “I’ve been hoping for a recession. People hate me for it, but it would get rid of Trump, so you shouldn’t hate me for it. … It’s worth it.” On Friday, he admitted anew, “I’ve been rooting for a recession. … You should wish for a recession. ‘Cause that will definitely get [Trump] unelected. … We have survived many recessions. We can’t survive another Donald Trump term.”

So on at least three occasions now, Maher has clamored for more unemployment, more bankruptcies, lower wages, and deteriorating stock-market portfolios due to his animosity toward Trump. And if workers’ livelihoods must languish to purge Trump from office, then that’s a noble sacrifice in his warped mind. Of course, it’s easy for elitists like Maher to feel that way because they wouldn’t be significantly affected by a recession. Maher makes millions of dollars every year by giving his devoted audience ridiculous lectures on TV. But those of us he sees as deplorables are necessary collateral damage in a recession that will, the Left hopes, result in Trump being a one-term president.

The Media Research Center’s Brent Baker rightly responded, “Maher couldn’t have provided the people in ‘flyover country’ with a better example of the disdain for them from a coastal elite. Maher puts his personal hatred of President Trump ahead of the welfare of the American people. No wonder middle America has so embraced Trump as a fighter for them against the elites.”

No kidding. Sadly, even the leftmedia supports Maher’s sentiments. According to The Washington Free Beacon, “NBC News foreign correspondent Richard Engel … sided with … Maher after he expressed desire for an economic recession to help defeat President Donald Trump in 2020.” Engel went so far as to say, “Short-term pain might be better than long-term destruction of the Constitution.” Engel is what some would consider a “journalist.”

Late last year, our own Mark Alexander ominously wondered, “Will Democrats Get the Impeachment Recession They Want?” Alexander noted:

Caught in the Democrats’ political crossfire are tens of millions of American workers and their families whose jobs and income prospects will fall victim to the Demos’ politically induced recession — the direct result of having thrown economic confidence under the bus in order to attack Trump. May I remind you, there is precedent for Democrats seeding economic recession under sitting Republican presidents ahead of presidential elections. Recall how, in 2006, they set up the 2008 mortgage financial crisis (almost collapsing the entire banking system) just in time for Barack scumbag/liar-nObama to ride that wave of fear into office.

And make no mistake, the Leftmedia is doing its darnedest to make it happen, much to the joy of Bill Maher. According to Reuters, “‘Reasonably good’ is not what Trump promised to deliver during his 2016 campaign, and at this point he heads into a reelection year short of the key economic goals he set and worried a recession could undermine his bid for a second term.” In a piece titled “Is the economy turning against Trump?” Washington Post columnist Robert J. Samuelson surmises, “There is growing evidence of a possible recession. If one materializes, President Trump could lose his most powerful argument for reelection: a strong economy.” And just for good measure, The Washington Post’s Aaron Blake delved into “How a recession could doom Trump’s 2020 reelection.”

Memo to voters: If Democrats truly cared about your welfare, they wouldn’t be hankering for your livelihoods to crater for the sake of their political agenda. ~The Patriot Post

It cited health and security factors. The duties had been set to go into effect on Sept. 1, so the announcement eased concerns about the holiday shopping season.” (CNBC)

NRA SUIT GREENLIGHTED: “A federal judge Monday ruled that a lawsuit against Los Angeles by the National Rifle Association (NRA) over the city’s contractor disclosure law can proceed. … U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson rejected the city’s argument that contractors involved with the NRA does not represent ‘expressive’ speech, and therefore not protected by the First Amendment as NRA attorneys contend.” (The Daily Caller)

House Judiciary Committee doomed

for failure with impeachment inquiry

By PETER WALLISON

{ thehill.com } ~ Various commentators, on and off the House Judiciary Committee, have suggested that it will have a better chance of getting grand jury testimony in the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller... or testimony from White House counsel Don McGahn, if it styles itself as a preliminary impeachment inquiry. This is probably why Chairman scumbag liar-Jerrold Nadler has finally begun to call the impending actions of the committee an impeachment investigation. But without an actual vote by the House to authorize an impeachment inquiry, this strategy seems certain to fail. Under normal circumstances, the committee would not be able to get either grand jury testimony or an opportunity to question McGahn. The law surrounding grand jury testimony is very restrictive, and the few cases in which it may be made available, always by order of a court, do not include investigations by congressional committees. Similarly, President Trump is certain to object to McGahn testifying on executive privilege grounds, which he has already asserted in other cases. But the committee seems to now be suggesting that its inquiry is a preliminary investigation that might lead to a resolution of impeachment by the House, and this raises the question whether a committee engaged in such an investigation has a stronger case to receive both grand jury testimony and testimony from White House counsel than it would when simply engaged in a normal oversight investigation. If so, this would clearly complicate the effort by Trump to deny the committee the testimony of his counsel and the effort by the Justice Department to prevent disclosure of grand jury information. Impeachment inquiries, thankfully, have been few and far between, but their very rarity and importance is an argument for suspending the usual rules about what a House committee might be entitled to. If this is what the committee claims, that they are engaged in an impeachment inquiry, it could go all the way to the Supreme Court, perhaps on an expedited basis. However, the committee is likely to lose every judicial challenge unless the House itself adopts a resolution authorizing an impeachment inquiry. Absent a vote of the full House, it is highly unlikely that the courts will give credence to a House committee claiming to be an impeachment inquiry in order to bypass all the usual rules about obtaining grand jury materials or the testimony of potential witnesses. These rules exist to promote candor in grand juries and between the president and his advisers...

Nursing Home Resident Obliterates

lowlife-Kamala Harris: ‘Leave Our

Health Care System Alone’

By Chrissy Clark

{ thefederalist.com } ~ During a campaign visit to a nursing home, presidential candidate lowlife-Kamala Harris was pulled aside by an elderly woman who takes a dim view of Democrats’ proposals to socialize U.S. health care... In the video, the woman tells lowlife-Harris to “leave our health-care system alone.” Woman: “Can I ask you a question?” lowlife-Harris: “Yes, of course.” Woman: “I understand that you are advocating health care for everyone.” lowlife-Harris: “Yes, ma’am.” Woman: “Who’s going to pay for it?” Harris: “Well, we’re gonna pay for it because, right now, let me tell you something, we’re all paying for health care and it’s in the emergency room.” Woman: “No we’re not. No we’re not. Leave our health-care system alone. We don’t want you to mess with it. lowlife-Harris: “Okay, I don’t intend to mess with it.”Throughout the conversation, lowlife-Harris left her hands on her knees and squatted down to the woman’s level in a condescending manner. lowlife-Harris also spoke to the woman as if she were an infant. Many have called her tone offensive and patronizing. lowlife-Harris also lied right to the woman’s face. She said, “I don’t intend to mess with” Americans’ health care, reiterating that later in the video. Yet her twist on socialist Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare for All” plan would disadvantage private health insurance and ultimately lead to its demise, as analyst Chris Jacobs explains here. The proposal would dramatically change U.S. health care. After the second round of Democratic debates, lowlife-Harris’ polling numbers slipped. They were around 14 percent prior to the debate and now at approximately 8 percent.

Jerusalem Bomb Plot Underscores

Ceaseless Hamas Terror Efforts

by Yaakov Lappin

{ investigativeproject.org } ~ Israeli security forces recently uncovered a West Bank Hamas terror cell that was in the final stages of preparing a bomb attack on Jerusalem... The episode underscores the constant threat posed by the largest Palestinian terror organization to regional security and its determination to restore its capabilities in the West Bank. The cell was also planning attacks on the Fatah-run Palestinian Authority, Israel's Shin Bet domestic intelligence agency said. The cell was under the direct command of Hamas's military wing in the Gaza Strip, where the Islamist movement maintains both a regime and a terrorist army, as well as a rocket production industry. Hamas's jihadist ideology calls for mass-casualty terror attacks on Israeli citizens – a goal it has not strayed from even after taking over a government in Gaza. Its ambition to topple the rule of its arch internal rival, Fatah, serves as an additional motivation for Hamas to destabilize the West Bank by orchestrating violence. Hamas hopes to weaken the Palestinian Authority by drawing Israeli security forces into clashes with local Palestinians. The cell was based in the Hebron region of the West Bank, which is considered to be an area with a large concentration of Hamas sympathizers, a Shin Bet statement said. Hamas's military wing in Gaza used online communications to recruit, train, and send instructions to cell members in the West Bank, the Israeli investigation found. During counter-terrorism raids launched in recent days, Israeli forces uncovered an explosive device hidden in Hebron that was ready for immediate use, and detonated it in a controlled explosion. That bomb was intended to go off in Jerusalem... https://www.investigativeproject.org/8032/jerusalem-bomb-plot-underscores-ceaseless-hamas

The Left and Its Dishonest 'Truths'

By Nelson A. Siebert

{ americanthinker.com } ~ I'm convinced that one day in the future, people will be studying how it was that the Left was so successful in manipulating language and redefining words... How was it that they were able to lie to the American people, while at the same time appearing not to lie, leaving them with no shred of doubt that they were being told the truth? Their ability to lie, and get away with doing so, is like a superhuman comic book power. They use this power with the same level of ease with which most of us breathe. "Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth" are words attributed to Joseph Goebbels, the minister of propaganda for the Nazi Party. These same words could just as easily have been spoken by Lenin, Stalin, Mao, or any of the Kims of North Korea. The official state-approved newspaper in the USSR was called Pravda, and it was the sole "authoritative" source for "news" and "information" — or propaganda — available to the average Soviet citizen. "Pravda" translates to English as "truth." Telling the "truth" through lies is not a recent phenomenon, but it is something the Democrat Left has mastered to great effect by employing demagogic tactics that exploit people's emotions and built-in biases. It is not difficult to observe this phenomenon. When you appeal specifically and predominantly to people's emotions, their ability to critically analyze the issue is all too often nonexistent. The heart wholly overrides the brain. Now, does the right lie? Of course! Are conservatives perfect? Of course not! They are human. Humans, by their nature, are flawed. Ironically, though, the fact that they more often tend to engage in expressing unpleasant and honest truths, the truths that people do not want to hear, such as the consequences of a spiraling debt, welfare entitlement programs, and mass illegal immigration, makes them less likeable to many people, who recoil when confronted with unpleasant truths and simply prefer to dismiss conservatives, and Republicans in general, as a bunch of old fuddy-duddies. So how does the Left lie to mischaracterize? It's oftentimes subtle, but it comes as follows: If you believe in legal, controlled immigration and want to prevent illegal crossings by supporting border walls, then you are anti-immigrant and a xenophobe. If you oppose programs such as affirmative action because you believe that blacks are just as capable at succeeding or failing as whites, it doesn't matter. You hate black people and are therefore a racist...

None Dare Call It 'Conspiracy'

Cal Thomas

After the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, investigators discovered that the lone man assigned to guard the president, John Parker, had abandoned his post to watch the play from an adjacent box at Ford’s Theater. Worse, at intermission, Parker adjourned to a nearby saloon to have drinks with some friends. It was during the second act that John Wilkes Booth entered the president’s box and shot him.

Maybe something as simple and explainable as that will be the conclusion of an investigation into the death of billionaire financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a Manhattan federal prison. Attorney General William Barr has ordered the FBI to look into how someone so recently on suicide watch, but later removed, could hang himself in his cell when he was supposed to be monitored.

Among numerous questions: What method did Epstein use? Was there a chair in the cell and if so, why? Was there something on the ceiling that a sheet, or rope, could go over? How did Epstein obtain a sheet or rope? Was it really suicide?

An unnamed source working as a chaplain in a Los Angeles psychiatric hospital responded to my inquiry concerning monitoring protocols: “I have seen and know the protocols for suicidal patients and usually they are given meds to keep them calm. The patient is not simply under observation but is physically watched 24/7 … not every 10 minutes or 30 minutes, but minute by minute. I can’t even give them a Bible with a hard cover or even a rosary … there’s no way to commit suicide without help from someone else … this is wrong!”

Conspiracy theories immediately surfaced, including one disseminated by President Trump. In a tweet, the president, who knew Epstein, but claims they had a falling out some years ago, tried to link Epstein’s death to former President scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton. That one quickly began trending on Twitter, mostly because so many people associated with the scumbag/liar-Clintons have died, some under curious circumstances.

Not all conspiracy theories turn out to be wrong. If one is known by the company one keeps, those named in recently released court documents that visited Epstein’s “fantasy island,” allegedly stocked with underage girls, were pretty bad company. Those named deny the allegations, but given the details of witnesses and the known behavior of some of them, that hardly seems credible. Now that Epstein is dead, perhaps some are breathing a little easier knowing he won’t have to testify at trial and be asked whether he served as a pimp to the wealthy and well-connected.

FoxNews.com alleges there is more to come: “Former President scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton was a much more frequent flyer on a registered sex offender’s infamous jet than previously reported, with flight logs showing the former president taking at least 26 trips aboard the ‘Lolita Express’ – even apparently ditching his Secret Service detail for at least five of the flights…

"scumbag/liar-Clinton’s presence aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s Boeing 727 on 11 occasions has been reported, but flight logs show the number is more than double that, and trips between 2001 and 2003 included extended junkets around the world with Epstein and fellow passengers identified on manifests by their initials or first names, including ‘Tatiana.’ The tricked-out jet earned its Nabokov-inspired nickname because it was reportedly outfitted with a bed where passengers had group sex with young girls.”

It would be a convenience, to say the least, for Epstein to be out of the way before his trial and it wouldn’t be the first time someone got knocked off in prison for revenge or to guarantee their silence. Whitey Bulger, the Irish-American crime boss, was killed by inmates shortly after arriving at the U.S. Penitentiary, Hazelton, in West Virginia, last October.

An old joke says, “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.” And just because conspiracies might make you suspicious, doesn’t mean this might not be one.

Let the investigation begin, let it be thorough and let it be conducted without favor to anyone. ~The Patriot Post

Voter ID Opponents Lose Again

This Time in North Dakota

Birthright Citizenship is NOT in the Constitution

by Denise Simon

{ founderscode.com } ~ This topic has long been debated with no resolution including at the Supreme Court level. Much has been written about what ‘birthright’ is including in the New York Times as recently as in 2015... The simply requirement is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, not subject to a foreign power. A birth must be to parents who were legally domiciled to the United States as citizens themselves. There is no such thing legally as an anchor baby. There must be a provable bind to the United States. President Trump has ordered a team to investigate the definition of the 14th Amendment leading to his possible signature of an Executive Order which would lead government agencies to act in accordance with the clarification and regulations around the Citizenship Clause. During the years of Ellis Islands, immigrants had to have money, the proven ability to earn a salary and not be an economic burden to the United States. 12 million people passed through Ellis Island and had for the time, a rigorous process to comply for entry. They included medical exams, have existing family members in the United States for connections and a safety net and prove existing financial means. There was quite a list of questions for the immigrants including those regarding a criminal record, being institutionalized for insanity and having some prior knowledge of the United States including facts of the Constitution, naming the 13 colonies and if they were an anarchist. There were in many cases immediate deportations for failures of passing fundamental stipulations. High praise should be given to the Trump administration for tackling the issue of birthright citizenship for clarification because the abuse of the system has been out of control, exploiting the anchor baby model. Take notice that even ABC news as recently as March of this year, 2019 addressed the issue of pregnant Russian women flocking to Miami to given birth just to gain citizenship under the anchor baby policy which is not nor has even been policy or legal. There are brokers around the world that facilitate these American births where the cost can range from $20,000 to $50,000. This includes travel, accommodations and the hospital expenses. This is otherwise known as ‘birth tourists’. But hey, Russia is not the only country. Nigeria, Mexico and China are included. We cant know the full number of those participating in birth tourism but each year it is estimated to range in the 30-50,000 of women that make the trip. Not to be overlooked is the healthcare in itself, clearly better here than in their home country. Consider that a particular area of Miami, known as Sunny Isles Beach is teeming with Russians and has the nickname of little Moscow. So, next how about California? So as recently as 2018, the FBI had to perform a set of raids on maternity hotels and apartment complexes in an estimated 20 locations in and around Los Angeles. Ah, it seems these pregnant Chinese women had more expensive brokers as they paid in the range of $40-$80,000 for their travel, accommodations and hospital stay. Operations in Los Angeles obviously had quite the operation stateside as some of these locations witnessed trucks and fork lifts delivering pallets of diapers and other infant needs like formula.This all amounts to abuse of U.S. citizenship.

Curt Schilling ‘Absolutely Considering’

Arizona Run for Congress

by Collin Anderson

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Three-time World Series champion and noted Trump supporter Curt Schilling said Sunday he is "absolutely considering" a congressional run in his home state of Arizona... Schilling, who flirted with a 2018 Massachusetts Senate run against Elizabeth dinky-Warren, told Armed American Radio’s Mark Walters he is "considering going back to Arizona and running for a congressional seat." He said his goal is to flip one of the five seats held by Democrats. "I haven’t said anything publicly, but I’m considering going back to Arizona and running for a congressional seat, one of the blue ones," Schilling said in the Sunday interview. "It’s something that my wife and I have talked about, and she’s now becoming more and more pumped at the potential. Obviously we’re still quite a few discussions away, but yeah, it’s something we’re absolutely considering." Schilling expressed his hesitance to "put his family through" the same scrutiny that they endured when he floated a potential Massachusetts Senate run. He said a move back to Arizona may be easier given his strong ties to the state. Schilling’s father, Cliff Schilling, a master sergeant with the 101st Airborne Division, was stationed at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska when Curt was born. The family moved multiple times, eventually settling in Phoenix, Arizona. Schilling went on to play high school and collegiate baseball in Arizona before spending 20 years in the Major Leagues where he won three World Series, including one with his hometown Arizona Diamondbacks. He was inducted into the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame in 2011. Schilling’s political involvement dates back to his playing days in the MLB. He campaigned for George W. Bush in 2004 as a member of the Boston Red Sox, and rumors about his own candidacy surfaced as early as 2008. Schilling has previously found himself in hot water because of his status as an outspoken conservative. He was fired from his position as an ESPN broadcast analyst in April of 2016 after sharing an post questioning transgenderism on Facebook. When ESPN’s Jemele Hill avoided termination after calling President Trump a white supremacist, Schilling told CNN he was not fired for speaking his mind, but rather "for being a conservative." While it is unclear which seat Schilling will target, Arizona’s 1st congressional district, currently held by Democrat Tom O’Halleran, voted for President Trump in 2016.

Can Palestinians in Gaza Revolt Against Hamas?

by Khaled Abu Toameh

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Hamas leaders are scared. Of what? That Palestinians will return to the streets of the Gaza Strip to demand that their leaders govern rather than tyrannize... The living conditions of Palestinians in Gaza have gone from abysmal to worse. That is why the leaders of Hamas recently ordered their security forces to detain several Palestinian activists for allegedly planning another wave of protests similar to those that swept the Gaza Strip earlier this year. Last March, Hamas security forces used excessive force to break up demonstrations held in various parts of the Gaza Strip under the banner "We Want to Live!" The demonstrations were organized by Palestinians to protest the longstanding economic crisis, including soaring unemployment and increased taxes imposed by Hamas on the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Dozens of Palestinians were injured and arrested during the demonstrations, including human rights activists and journalists. Hamas managed to crush the March protests, thereby drawing strong condemnations from many Palestinians who accused the rulers of the Gaza Strip of acting like ruthless dictators against peaceful demonstrators. Palestinian journalist and political analyst Hamadeh Faraneh said that Hamas has shown that it is not capable of ruling its people. "By resorting to repression and brutal force, Hamas has emerged as the loser," he said. Palestinian professor Abdel Sattar Qassam denounced the Hamas crackdown on the peaceful demonstrations as "disgraceful," while several commentators in the Arab world lashed out at Hamas's "policy of breaking the bones" of its critics. Hamas's rivals in Fatah, the West Bank-based ruling faction headed by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, also joined the chorus of critics. Osama Qawassmeh, a senior Fatah official, described the protests in the Gaza Strip as a "revolution of the hungry" against Hamas's corrupt and failed administration. Since then, the situation in the Gaza Strip has seen no improvement, mainly because Hamas cares a great deal more about investing millions of dollars in amassing weapons and preparing for war against Israel than about its own people...

Marines Declare Initial Operational

Capability for JLTV

By Sam LaGrone

{ news.usni.org } ~ The Marine Corps is set to use its first Joint Light Tactical Vehicles in the field after the service declared the program had achieved initial operational capability earlier this month... The program, which will replace Marine and Army legacy Humvees, met the requirements to be certified by the Marine Corps Combat Development Command on Aug. 2, according to a release from the service. “IOC is more than just saying that the schoolhouses and an infantry battalion all have their trucks,” Eugene Morin, product manager for JLTV at the Program Executive Office for Land Systems, said in the news release. “All of the tools and parts required to support the system need to be in place, the units must have had received sufficient training and each unit commander needs to declare that he is combat-ready.” 3rd Battalion, 8th Marines was the first unit trained to operate the JLTVs, with more coming to the rest of the force by the end of the fiscal year. I Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Pendleton and III MEF at Okinawa, Japan, are set to field JLTVs by the end of September, according to the announcement. The Marines plan to buy about 9,000 of the JLTVs, with up 300 entering service this year and up to 1,000 next year, USNI News reported in February. They include a combination of the general purpose, heavy guns carrier, utility and close combat weapons carrier JLTV variants. “The program office started delivering vehicles to the schoolhouses earlier this year and started delivering vehicles to the infantry battalion last month,” according to the news release. The IOC declaration comes as both the Army and Marines have been working through refining logistics and maintenance processes that the Pentagon’s Director of Operational Test and Evaluation identified as deficient in a report earlier this year. The report was based on a joint Army-Marine Multiservice Operational Test and Evaluation (MOT&E) that was completed last year. Since the completion of the MOT&E, the Marines have worked to double the length of the training course and taken additional steps to lock down procedures for the new JLTVs separate from the Army effort. “We are really at the starting line right now. Our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will see JLTVs in the DOD,” LTV Program Manager Andrew Rodgers said in the news release. “We’ll easily still have these assets somewhere in the DOD in the year 2100. Welcome to the start of many generations of JLTVs.”

California Introduces Radical Anti-Semitic

High School Curriculum

by Adam Kredo

{ freebeacon.com } ~ The state of California has introduced "blatantly anti-Semitic and anti-Israel" lessons into its official high school curriculum... drawing outrage and concern in the state's Jewish and pro-Israel communities, according to multiple sources involved in the controversy. The California Department of Education is facing backlash after permitting a host of anti-Israel activists to build a statewide educational curriculum that demonizes the Jewish state and is said to be fostering hatred of Jewish and Israeli-American students, sources said. Already, 83 pro-Israel and anti-discrimination organizations have petitioned the state's education department to reform its Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum (ESMC) to remove multiple instances of what they say is anti-Semitic and anti-Israel bias. Multiple sources involved in the fight have described to the Washington Free Beacon anti-Semitic courses that they say are fostering an unsafe environment for Jewish and Israeli-American students. Further information obtained by the Free Beacon reveals that several of the educators involved in pushing the new curriculum have a history of anti-Israel activism that has often spilled into anti-Semitic territory. "We are aware that many individuals and groups affiliated with the Jewish community have already written to you about the ESMC's shocking omission of information about American Jews and anti-Semitism, its use of classic anti-Semitic stereotypes, and its blatant anti-Israel bias," a coalition of 83 pro-Israel organizations led by the AMCHA Initiative, a watchdog group that combats anti-Semitism in America, wrote to California's Education Department...

Voter ID Opponents Lose Again This Time in North Dakota

Hans von Spakovsky

Opponents of election integrity lost the latest in a long string of cases recently when a three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated North Dakota’s voter ID requirement and tossed out an injunction that had been issued by a lower court.

In Brakebill v. Jaeger, Judge Steven Colloton, writing for the 2-to-1 majority, concluded that the supposed burden of obtaining an ID by the less than 0.5% of all eligible voters who do not already have one did not justify a statewide injunction that prevented the state from implementing the ID requirement.

North Dakota is the only state in the Union that does not require citizens to register to vote.

You can show up on Election Day and vote in North Dakota — as long you show identification.

The state Legislature passed a series of laws delineating the forms of identification that could be used to vote.

Effective Aug. 1, 2017, North Dakota required either a driver’s license, a nondriver’s identification card issued by the state Department of Motor Vehicles, or an “official form of identification issued by a tribal government to a tribal member residing in the state.”

The law requires the ID to provide the voter’s legal name, current residential address, and date of birth.

However, if a voter’s ID is missing any of those three items, the voter will still be able to cast a ballot if he provides the missing information with a current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, or a check or other document issued by a federal, state, or local government agency.

Voters have up to six days after the election to present an acceptable ID or supplemental documents. Despite the fact that the lower court thought this provision would not be understood by the average voter, the appeals court noted that there was “no evidence of voter confusion over this provision.”

Six members of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians sued, claiming that the ID requirement restricted the ability of tribal members to register and exercise their right to vote, in violation of the U.S. Constitution, state law, and Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The tribal members argued that “Native Americans often live on reservations or in other rural areas where people do not have street addresses; even if they do … those addresses are frequently not included on tribal IDs. Moreover … Native Americans in North Dakota are ‘disproportionately homeless.’”

Although it should be pointed out that all six of these plaintiffs actually have residential addresses.

The majority rejected the plaintiffs’ contention that requiring voters to have a residential street address is discriminatory, citing former Associate Justice John Paul Stevens’ opinion in Crawford v. Marion County Election Board (2008), in which the Supreme Court upheld Indiana’s voter ID requirement.

A “residential street address furthers North Dakota’s legitimate interest in preventing voter fraud and safeguarding voter confidence, so unlike a poll tax, it is not invidiously ‘unrelated to voter qualifications.’”

The number of North Dakotans, just like the residents of other states, who already possess a photo ID is overwhelming. The court found that less than 0.5% of eligible voters in the state do not already have an ID or the supplemental documents that can be used to meet the ID requirement.

More importantly, the plaintiffs in the case presented no evidence whatsoever to detail how many of these “voters attempted to obtain a supplemental document and were unsuccessful.”

It was clear to the court that the state ID law did not place “a substantial burden on most North Dakota voters.” Thus, a “statewide injunction” was “unwarranted.”

The clamor around mythical claims of “voter suppression” over legislation like North Dakota’s ID requirement is misguided.

Such laws are designed and intended to shore up current deficiencies in the electoral system.

As pointed out in a recent study by the National Bureau of Economic Research, voter ID laws have no discernible effect on reducing the turnout of voters. Over the period 2008 to 2016, the researchers concluded that voter ID “laws have no negative effect on registration or turnout, overall or for any group defined by race, gender, age, or party affiliation.”

The purpose of North Dakota’s election laws is rooted in a desire to promote election integrity. Far from being a trivial concern, election fraud has been and continues to be an unfortunate part of American elections, as can be seen in The Heritage Foundation’s election fraud database.

Although election integrity measures such as voter ID requirements are often presented as a partisan issue, they should not be. Everyone has an interest in fair and secure elections.

As noted in a 2005 study by the Commission of Federal Election Reform, headed by former President Jimmy Carter and Secretary of State James Baker:

The electoral system cannot inspire public confidence if no safeguards exist to deter or detect fraud or to confirm the identity of voters. Photo IDs currently are needed to board a plane, enter federal buildings, and cash a check. Voting is equally important. ~The Patriot Post

Media Editors: Government & Politics

PIVOTAL IMMIGRATION OVERHAUL: “Federal officials will consider an immigrant’s use of welfare benefits such as food stamps and Medicaid as a negative factor in deciding on the eligibility of the immigrant’s permanent legal residency or on a temporary visa. 'It will also help promote immigrant success in the United States as they seek opportunity here,‘ Ken Cuccinelli, acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, told reporters Monday at the White House. 'Throughout our history, self-reliance has been a core principle in America.’ The Department of Homeland Security placed the regulation in the Federal Register on Monday, and it goes into effect Oct. 14.” (The Daily Signal)

MCCABE SEEKS REVENGE: “Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe sued the Justice Department and FBI on Thursday for his firing last year, which he says was politically-motivated retribution for failing to support President Donald Trump. In the complaint, McCabe accuses the Justice Department and FBI of ‘unlawful retaliation for his refusal to pledge allegiance to a single man,’ a reference to Trump.” (The Daily Caller)

GUN-CONTROL NONSTARTER? “Sens. Pat Toomey, a Republican from Pennsylvania, and Joe Manchin, a Democrat from West Virginia, are lead sponsors of a bill to expand background checks to include gun show and internet sales. … But there are significant differences in what the two parties would be willing to accept in a gun control measure, and that wide gap is not bridged by the Toomey-Manchin bill. House Democrats, for starters, say the Toomey-Manchin background check bill doesn’t go far enough.” (Washington Examiner)

NRA FALLOUT: “Julie Golob, a professional sport shooter and a strong public advocate for gun rights, announced Monday she was resigning from the National Rifle Association board before the end of her three-year term. She is the fourth member in the past two weeks to leave the board of the NRA in a sign of further upheaval within the nation’s most powerful gun rights group.** (The Washington Post)

ESA ADJUSTMENTS: "The Trump administration announced on Monday it would change how it implements the Endangered Species Act. … The revisions announced in the new rule were a culmination of more than a year of efforts to loosen restrictions written to protect hundreds of species judged to be under pressure. The Interior Department has argued that a streamlining is necessary to update how it enforces the 1973 law, including allowing the federal government to begin to measure the economic costs of protecting some species.” (Politico)

Around the Nation

EPSTEIN UPDATE: “Jeffrey Epstein was found hanging in his lower Manhattan jail cell with a bedsheet wrapped around his neck and secured to the top of a bunk bed,” according to the New York Post. The New York Times adds, “One of the two people guarding Jeffrey Epstein when he apparently hanged himself in a federal jail cell was not a full-fledged correctional officer, and neither guard had checked on Mr. Epstein for several hours before he was discovered.” Meanwhile, NBC News reports that “FBI agents raided Jeffrey Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean on Monday in a vivid display that the probe into his alleged sex trafficking ring is continuing despite his death.”

ASSAILANT’S FRIEND CHARGED: “Federal prosecutors announced charges Monday against Ethan Kollie and accused him of buying weaponry used by [the assailant] in last week’s mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio. … Benjamin C. Glassman, the U.S. attorney for the southern district of Ohio, said Mr. Kollie bought the body armor, large-capacity drum magazine and a part of the AR-15-style weapon Betts used in the Aug. 4 attack.” (The Washington Times)

RECIPE FOR VOTER FRAUD: “California’s ambitious effort to automate voter registration at Department of Motor Vehicle offices produced almost 84,000 duplicate records and more than twice that number with political party mistakes, according to an audit released Friday by state officials.” (Los Angeles Times)

VILLAGE ACADEMIC CURRICULUM: “The Land of Lincoln will require public schools to incorporate LGBTQ figures into history lessons. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Friday signed House Bill 246, which mandates the following: ‘In public schools only, the teaching of history shall include a study of the roles and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in the history of this country and this State.’” (The Washington Times)

Contract Awarded for New

11-Mile Border Wall in South Texas

by BOB PRICE

{ breitbart.com } ~ U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials awarded an $80 million contract last week for the construction of 11 miles of new border wall... The project, scheduled to start in September 2019, will build new barriers and security roads in the Rio Grande Valley Sector where none exists today. CBP officials, in conjunction with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), awarded a contract to Southwest Valley Constructors Co. to build 11 miles of new border wall, security access roads, and surveillance technology. Officials estimated the August 7 contract’s base value to be $80,869,000. With options, the contract’s value could climb to $304,600,000. The wall will be built along the levee system similar to existing structures built in 2008 elsewhere in the RGV Sector, officials reported. The contract calls for 18-foot bollard fencing on top of a concrete wall. The contract also includes funds for all-weather roads to give Border Patrol agents quick access to the border area, lighting, enforcement cameras, and other related technology equipment to create a “complete enforcement zone.” Funds for the contract come from the CBP’s FY19 appropriations. Officials noted the funds are not part of President Donald Trump’s National Emergency Declaration and also do not come from any diverted funds appropriated to the Department of Defense or the Department of the Treasury. The wall is not being built, per requirements in the appropriations act, in the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge, La Lomita Historical Park, Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park, within or east of the Vista del Par Ranch tract of the Lower Rio Grace Valley National Wildlife Refuge, or the National Butterfly Center. This award follows previously announced construction projects to build 25 gates and associated equipment along existing border barriers. “Once installed, the gates will serve as a persistent impediment to smuggling organizations while still allowing access for property owners...

UN Report Urges People

Eat Less Meat to Protect the Climate

by James Murphy

{ thenewamerican.com } ~ And then they came for my hamburgers ... The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has issued a new report that, among other things, urges humanity to eat far less meat... The report claims that a less meaty diet will free up valuable land — especially in Amazonia — to soak up more carbon from the air. The report contends with “high confidence” that diets that are more plant and grain based will not only help mitigate carbon dioxide emissions and lessen global temperature increase — but will also be healthier for mankind. A switch away from meat-based diets will “present major opportunities for adaptation and mitigation while generating significant co-benefits in terms of human health.” The report is concerned with land use and agricultural practices, which the authors claim is responsible for more than a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions. “Agriculture, forestry and other types of land use account for 28% of human greenhouse gas emissions,” said Jim Skea, the co-chair of IPCC Working Group 3. “At the same time natural land processes absorb carbon dioxide equivalent to almost a third of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels and industry.” The report is full of information about how managing land resources in a more sustainable there’s the UN’s favorite word agai way will be a big part of keeping the predicted rise in global temperature to 1.5C or less. And not only will the Earth remain cooler, the report contends that we can also wipe out global hunger. “Land already in use could feed the world in a changing climate and provide biomass for renewable energy, but early, far reaching action across several areas is required,” said Hans-Otto Pӧrtner, the co-chair of IPCC Working Group 2. So, we can feed everyone in the world using only the land now in use, but we need to do it quickly and in exactly the way the IPCC lays out for us, huh? Color me unconvinced... The hell with the UN I will continue to eating meat. https://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/33096-u-n-report-urges-people-eat-less-meat-to-protect-the-climate?vsmaid=5571&vcid=3421

U.S. eager to help Britain

post-Brexit with new trade deal

by Thomson Reuters

{ cbc.ca } ~ The United States would "enthusiastically" support a no-deal Brexit if that is what the British government decided to do... U.S. national security adviser John Bolton told reporters on Monday. Bolton also said Britain and the United States could make trade deals on a sector-by-sector basis, leaving more difficult areas in the trading relationship until later. He said the ultimate aim was a comprehensive trade deal. As the United Kingdom prepares to leave the European Union on Oct. 31, its biggest geopolitical shift since the Second World War, many diplomats expect London to become increasingly reliant on the United States. "If that's the decision of the British government we will support it enthusiastically, and that's what I'm trying to convey. We're with you, we're with you," said Bolton, in London for two days of talks with British officials. The U.S. administration is seeking an improved U.S.-British relationship with Prime Minister Boris Johnson after sometimes tense ties between Donald Trump and Johnson's predecessor, Theresa May. Bolton said the ultimate aim was a comprehensive trade deal, but highlighted that financial services could be one of the more difficult industries to reach an agreement on. A central message Bolton was making is that the United States will help cushion Britain's exit from the EU with a free trade agreement that is being negotiated by U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and his British counterpart, Liz Truss. A senior Trump administration official, describing Bolton's message to British officials, said Trump "wants to see a successful British exit from the European Union" and that a trade deal would help Britain. Trump had wanted to work with the May government on a trade deal but her government "didn't want to do it. This government does. We're very happy about it," the official told reporters traveling with Bolton. Trump believes that "when it comes to trade negotiations the EU is worse than China, only smaller," the official said...

Two Tiered System Of Justice: Top FBI

Officials Escape Prosecution, While

Others Pay Heavy Price

By Sara Carter

{ saraacarter.com } ~ All we need is what we already know. And what we know is that top senior officials at the FBI, thus far, have escaped any prosecution for lying and leaking... It wasn’t the same for others. Just look at Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who is still fighting for justice against a bureaucracy that didn’t want him snooping around to discover how those in senior positions of power in the intelligence community and law enforcement were breaking the law and the spine of the U.S. constitution with unwarranted unmaskings, spying and weaponization of the intelligence apparatus. Flynn was targeted by former scumbag/liar-nObama Administration officials from the very beginning. Remember how former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey laughed publicly about how he set up the former National Security Advisor. He also contends it wouldn’t have happened to another administration: scumbag-Comey admitted he didn’t go through the White House counsel’s office, but arranged the meeting with FBI Special Agents Joe Pientka and Peter Strzok directly with Flynn. He said it was not standard practice. He said it was “something I probably wouldn’t have done or maybe gotten away with in a more … organized administration.” Let’s not forget that both Strzok and Pientka did not believe Flynn was lying when he spoke to them about the conversation he had with former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. In fact, they had the record of the conversation but didn’t tell Flynn they had it when asking him to recall the conversation. scumbag-Comey even admitted to the fact that the agents didn’t believe Flynn was lying but it didn’t matter. The power of the special counsel prosecutors, the threat against dragging his son into the mess and their deep purse was enough to push Flynn to plead guilty. scumbag-Comey, however, didn’t need to be pushed. He openly admitted to leaking his confidential memos, of which some contained classified information, to the media. He admitted he did it through a close friend with the intention of getting his other friend former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to call for a Special Counsel against President Trump. scumbag-Comey knew full well the information regarding conspiracy with Russia was unverified garbage and he knew Trump had every right to fire him under Article 2 of the constitution. It didn’t matter...

Congressman calls for action to combat

exploitation in senior residential care industry

By Jennifer Gollan

{ revealnews.org } ~ Rep. Robert C. Scott, D-Va., has called on the nation’s top labor regulator to crack down on the rampant exploitation of caregivers in senior residential care homes...many of whom earn as little as $2 an hour to work around the clock with no days off, while some industry operators rake in millions. In a letter to the U.S. Department of Labor, Scott asked the agency to provide a full accounting of its efforts to combat the “troubling trend of wage and hour violations” in senior board-and-care homes across the U.S. It marks the federal government’s first steps to tackle the systematic abuse of mostly poor, immigrant workers in the industry. Scott’s action was spurred by a recent two-part investigation by Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting, which found that care-home operators across the nation broke minimum wage, overtime or record-keeping laws in at least 1,400 cases over the last decade. Reveal found shocking cases of human trafficking. Some workers have reported sleeping on the floor, on living room couches or in garages. Caregivers routinely are harassed and fired if they complain. Some feared for their lives. Reveal also found that companies caught stealing from workers continue to operate illegally despite outstanding wage theft judgments, leaving scores of workers unpaid. For example, after California regulators two years ago imposed fines against one care home totaling nearly $1 million for unpaid wages and penalties, the company and its owner filed for bankruptcy. But the facility continues to operate under the same name, and five caregivers previously employed there still haven’t received any of the back wages they are owed. There are many similar cases. California regulators have the power to strip these companies of their licenses, according to legal experts contacted by Reveal. But Reveal found they’ve failed to act. The investigation also sparked responses at the state level. Some California lawmakers said they are researching new legislation aimed at strengthening regulations. In addition, the California Fair Employment and Housing Department, the largest state civil rights agency in the country, is launching a new education and outreach campaign aimed at thwarting employment discrimination in the industry...

When Culture Wins Hearts and Minds

Robin Smith: What makes a man, specifically a pastor, leave his wife of over 20 years, his three teenage children, his ministry, and his entire faith — and publicly apologize for not supporting homosexual relationships and unions?

Joshua Harris, former lead pastor of Covenant Life Church, a megachurch in Gaithersburg, Maryland, was best known for his monstrously popular book, I Kissed Dating Goodbye, which he wrote at 21 years of age. He served as pastor from 2004 to 2015 until departing for British Columbia for graduate studies at Regent College.

In recent weeks, Harris announced to the world that he had not only decided to abandon his pulpit but also his family and even his faith. The accounts, posted via Instagram, show that he and his wife have made a mutual decision to separate. Perfectly fitting for today’s informal, less-than-committed culture, the post featured a photo of Harris and his wife announcing their plans to “continue our life together as friends” while alluding to “significant changes” faced by the couple during passing years.

A side note: Life is forever changing, but that does not equate with marital separation nor with the need to abandon one’s beliefs. Yet, what a dramatic conflict in the heart, mind, and body of one who preached covenant relationships and their importance to God, even as an author who taught the call to purity in teen lives was clearly moved from what had been a very legalistic view to the polar opposite, appearing to skip that middle ground by lurching headlong into the ideology of secularism. This is apparently the story of Joshua Harris.

Not only did the young man, rooted in the theology of Calvinism, separate from his wife and kids and leave the pulpit, he also declared: “I have undergone a massive shift in regard to my faith in Jesus. The popular phrase for this is ‘deconstruction,’ the biblical phrase is ‘falling away.’ By all the measurements that I have for defining a Christian, I am not a Christian.”

Harris continued, “But I specifically want to add to this list now: to the LGBTQ+ community, I want to say that I am sorry for the views that I taught in my books and as a pastor regarding sexuality. I regret standing against marriage equality, for not affirming you and your place in the church, and for any ways that my writing and speaking contributed to a culture of exclusion and bigotry.”

Harris referenced his apparent “repenting of my self-righteousness,” in what would be assumed to be his past writings and teachings from his doctrinal view that dating in the teen years could lead to a focus of self and sex. But he didn’t stop there. The former shepherd of a very large flock, whose influence impacted many, went further by indicating his new support of homosexual relations and unions.

“Deconstruction,” “failing away” — this former pastor has chosen culture over Christ.

The “True Love Waits” movement, launched in 1993 by Southern Baptists, taught commitment and sexual abstinence. The movement intersected Harris’s book release in 1997. His book suggested abandoning dating completely. The “True Love Waits” effort was aimed to equip teens with teachings to avoid sexual intercourse outside of marriage as they dated. Harris’s book taught that abstinence from dating was best in a more extreme approach based on his upbringing and denomination.

Harris is just one example of many who are confronted with such a choice. His, however, takes on more celebrity in light of his story.

A few observations.

At least Joshua Harris walked away from a post of leadership in his congregation as he clearly struggles with his own beliefs. He now lives in Canada and owns his own firm providing marketing and public-relations work. He struggles, as many do. Prayers are lifted for those in this fight to reconcile beliefs, truths, and our culture.

But it’s critical to differentiate that which is denominational versus that which is Christian.

Denominations — are man-made rules that are incorporated into teachings to upload traditions within church organizations. The Christian faith is a miraculous faith that takes the Bible — comprised of the Old and New Testaments, recorded in 66 books, written over about 1,500 years by 35-40 different individuals — and brings teachings to life. These truths are not necessarily the most accepted nor the most popular, but they are the best for believers, inspired by a holy, righteous God who loves us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die in our place to pay the penalty required of all for our sins. Denominations don’t save, perform miracles, or change lives. Christ does.

Yet, when Harris apologizes that his lack of inclusion and support of the homosexual lifestyle has contributed to a culture of bigotry, it’s pretty clear he’s abandoned not only a denominational teaching but also a Biblical truth. Joshua Harris is not deconstructing his faith. He’s arguing with God.

And so it is with us all. We are created in the image of God, yet have free will. God’s Word teaches us the best way, but our free will allows us to choose. Harris, as each of us, make choices daily.

Harris battles his own beliefs from a public platform. But every single individual walks a similar path with a choice to either believe and say the same thing about love, sin, mercy, forgiveness, righteousness, peace, etc. that God does — homologeo (Gr), which means to confess — or reject what God says and make our own way.

Sometimes, culture wins hearts and minds, as it appears to have done in the case of Joshua Harris and countless others. But many times, Christ prevails with lives lived in liberty, not license, and freedom found in faith, not in the Secular Trinity — Me, Myself and I. ~The Patriot Post

Trump DHS to block more immigrants who

rely on government assistance

by Anna Giaritelli

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ The Trump administration in October will enlarge the pool of immigrants who can be barred from entry or denied visa renewals because of their reliance on U.S. government benefits... according to a rule change published in the Federal Register. The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services formally submitted the update to a 1999 rule on Monday. The rule further expands the definition of a "public charge," a term the government uses to indicate a noncitizen has a history of receiving long-term financial or other assistance. "Through the public charge rule, President Trump’s administration is reinforcing the ideals of our self-sufficiency and personal responsibility, ensuring that immigrants are able to support themselves and become successful here in America," USCIS Director Ken Cuccinelli said during a press conference Monday morning. Immigrants seeking to enter the United States for the first time as well as those seeking renewal of visas will be judged based on assistance they have accepted from the federal government for at least 12 months in any 36-month period, including cash benefits, Supplemental Security Income, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, most forms of Medicaid, and some housing programs, according to the new rule. The Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program and Medicaid were not previously part of the 20-year-old rule. Applicants who apply after the Oct. 15 effective date will be judged on whether they used SNAP or Medicaid prior to then. The other listed programs will also factor into the decision because they have been among the criteria for decades. USCIS officers will not look at whether an applicant was a recipient of emergency medical assistance; disaster relief; the National School Lunch Program; the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children; Children’s Health Insurance Program; Medicaid, if the person is under 21 years old; energy assistance; and other assistance or related entities...

Israeli MKs to Congress: Thanks,

but BDS bill 'dangerous for Israel'

by GIL HOFFMAN

{ jpost.com } ~ Twenty-one members of Knesset from right-wing parties sent a letter to members of Congress on Monday thanking them for their recent pro-Israel anti-Boycott Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) resolution... but warning them that the resolution's endorsement of a two-state solution is harmful, because the repercussions of a Palestinian state would be "far more dangerous for Israel" than the BDS Movement. The House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved Resolution 246 opposing boycotts of Israel on July 23. Some 350 legislators, 175 from each party, cosponsored the resolution, which opposes the BDS movement, “including efforts to target United States companies that are engaged in commercial activities that are legal under US law, and all efforts to delegitimize the State of Israel.” In an effort to gain bipartisan support, the bill also “urges Israelis and Palestinians to return to direct negotiations as the only way to achieve an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict” and reaffirms strong support “for a negotiated solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict resulting in two states – a democratic Jewish State of Israel, and a viable, democratic Palestinian state – living side by side in peace, security and mutual recognition.” The letter by the MKs is a direct appeal to members of Congress to assess the dangers of a Jihadist Palestinian state formed in the heart of Israel. The MKs argue that while some sectors promote the two-state solution as being pro-Israel, the actual will of the Israeli people and the current policy of the State of Israel does not reflect that attitude. “The establishment of an additional Arab so-called Palestinian state in the region would severely damage the national security of both Israel and the United States,” the MKs wrote. “Such a state would undoubtedly be a dysfunctional terrorist state, which would distance peace and undermine stability in the Middle East. As politicians, we understand that these resolutions are accompanied by many compromises along the way in order to reach a language agreed upon by a majority. However, the affirmation of support for establishing a Palestinian state is so dangerous that we respectfully request that you take that into consideration, and in the future avoid determining that establishing an additional Arab state on territory that is the Land of Israel is part of the solution to the dispute.” The letter was initiated by the Land of Israel Caucus in the Knesset, Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan and the Likud’s nationalist group. “Unfortunately, in the last few years, AIPAC is independently advancing the two-state solution,” said Dagan, who is powerful within Likud. “AIPAC portrays the two-state concept as an Israeli interest to elected officials in America and as the official position of the Israeli government, even though this is untrue. The two-state concept is not the policy of the current government coalition, nor is it stated as policy in the agreements between the coalition partners. Furthermore, this is not the policy of the Trump administration, which has even removed it from the National Security Strategic Report.”...

By Daniel John Sobieski

{ americanthinker.com } ~ If there was ever any doubt about the depth and extent of the deep-state coup against both candidate and President Donald J. Trump and the number of deep-state actors attempting to thwart the will of the American people... it vanished with the release of partially redacted copies of former Deputy Atty. Gen. Bruce Ohr’s FBI 302 reports interview summaries on Thursday evening obtained by Judicial Watch. They confirm that Bruce Ohr and his wife Nellie were not merely passive conduits for the fraudulent Steele Dossier but were active participants in the plot to deny Trump the presidency. They confirm that the FBI knew that the Steele Dossier, paid for by the DNC and the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton, was a fake when they applied to the FISA court for warrants to surveil American citizens. They detail the involvement of the State Department and others in the scumbag/liar-nObama administration. As I wrote almost a year ago, Andrew Weissmann, touted as former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s “pit bull” was kept in the loop by Ohr on any and all dossier and FISA developments. Among the juicy tidbits in the FBI Ohr 302s obtained by Judicial Watch • On November 22, 2016, Bruce Ohr said that “reporting on Trump’s ties to Russia were going to the scumbag/liar-Clinton Campaign, Jon Winer at the U.S. State Department and the FBI.” In late September 2016, Ohr describes a person likely Christopher Steele as “desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being the U.S. President.” “Ohr knew that Fusion GPS’s Glen Simpson and others talking to Victoria Nuland at the U.S. State Department.”… On December 5, 2016, Ohr promised to “voluntarily” give his wife Nellie Ohr’s Fusion GPS research to the FBI. He also provided the FBI with a report on Paul Manafort titled, “Manafort Chronology.”… • On December 20, 2016, Ohr provided the FBI with his wife’s Nellie Ohr’s Fusion GPS research, “which contained the totality” of her work “but the Fusion GPS header was stripped.” • On January 23, 2017, Ohr tells the FBI that Steele told him that Steele “spoke with a staff member of Senator rino-John McCain’s office sometime prior to October 2016.” • The FBI interviews show that Ohr texted and talked to Christopher Steele using the WhatsApp application….“These new Bruce Ohr FBI 302s show an unprecedented and irregular effort by the FBI, DOJ, and State Department to dig up dirt on President Trump using the conflicted Bruce Ohr, his wife, and the scumbag/liar-Clinton/DNC spies at Fusion GPS,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The FISA courts weren’t informed of this corrupted process when they were asked to approve and re-approve extraordinary spy warrants targeting President Trump.” Mueller’s professed lack of knowledge during recent congressional testimony regarding Fusion GPS was inexplicable since, as former deputy assistant attorney general Bruce Ohr’s closed-door testimony before Congress shows, Weissmann had full knowledge of the fake nature of the Steele dossier that was a major predicate of the Russian witch-hunt that became the Mueller probe. Weissmann knew there was collusion with the Russians, and that it was between the DNC, the scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign, British agent Christopher Steele, Fusion GPS, the DoJ, the FBI and, yes, Russian sources interested in upending the Trump presidency...Why isn't scumbag/liar-Hillary being investigated? Is there to much cover-up being done?

Why Trump El Paso Pic Triggered the Left

by DAVID CATRON

{ spectator.org } ~ We have long ago become inured to Democratic politicization of mass shootings and the accompanying tirades against President Trump suggesting he is somehow responsible for these atrocities... Consequently, the Left’s exploitation of the recent massacres in the cause of gun control was all too predictable. This time, however, they added a new ruse to their rhetorical repertoire. After El Paso and Dayton, Democrats failed to dissuade Trump from visiting the victims, an omission they would have inevitably denounced as callous, the Left went berserk when he and the First Lady posed for a photo with an infant survivor of the El Paso shooting and two relatives. The phony outrage erupted when the First Lady posted a tweet about the El Paso and Dayton visits that contained a photo featuring herself holding the baby, Paul Anchondo, and his Uncle Tito with his arm around the president. Why would this upset anyone? Well, it turns out that Tito Anchondo, like his brother Andre — who was killed shielding his son from the gunfire — is a Trump supporter. This photo undermines two carefully cultivated leftist myths: that Hispanics by definition disapprove of Trump and that he is a Mexican-hating racist. This was too much for the Democrats and their media allies, who, with characteristic hypocrisy, attacked Trump for politicizing the tragedies. But as NPR reported, Tito Anchondo doesn’t see it that way and suggests that his brother would also have rejected the claim: “My brother was very supportive of Trump.” To Democratic claims that Trump’s rhetoric has incited mass shootings, he said, “I think people are misconstruing President Trump’s ideas.” He also told NPR, “We should be coming together as a country at this time instead of threatening each other with hate messages.” Anchondo told the AP on Friday that Trump “was just there to give his condolences and he was just being a human being.” The Democrats aren’t having any of this, of course. Presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand is all too typical: He has created a national emergency of rampant white nationalism across the country. And I think white national terrorism is a national emergency. I think we need to blame President Trump and the rhetoric he’s used since he got elected.… And all you have to do is listen to his words to make that decision. He has berated, demeaned, devalued women of color constantly in this administration. He has used racist language and racist dog whistles on behalf of the presidency. He said Mexicans are rapists. This is nonsense of course. Gillibrand, like most Democrats, has deliberately distorted Trump’s perfectly accurate assertion that criminals of all types including rapists and murderers are crossing into the United States via the southern border along with illegal immigrants who come here looking for work. And the Democrats are making a mistake if they insist on characterizing everyone who favors stricter immigration controls as racist. The notion that only white supremacists want to control the flow of illegal aliens into the country is not merely inaccurate, it is politically inept. Even the Nation, not exactly a trove of Trump cheerleaders, offers the Dems a wake-up call... https://spectator.org/why-trump-el-paso-pic-triggered-the-left/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=31676a9f3e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_08_12_03_23&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-31676a9f3e-104608113

Hollywood Kowtows to Communist China

Arnold Ahlert: There is little doubt that one of the most self-righteous groups of Americans afflicting this nation today are the creatives we collectively refer to as Hollywood. Whenever an issue or an incident doesn’t align itself with their hard-left worldview, they never hesitate to voice their often obscene, invariably self-righteous displeasure. President Trump is their proverbial white whale, the man director Rob “Meathead” Reiner stated “will try to drive a stake through the heart of Democracy,” shortly after the Muller report did nothing to fuel their feverish impeachment fantasies. Yet if Reiner et al. are truly worried about driving a stake through the “heart of Democracy,” they’ve had a peculiar way of demonstrating it for nearly a decade. That’s the amount of time they’ve been “tailoring” movies for to earn the Chinese government’s approval — the censor-driven, dissent-crushing, Chinese Communist Party government.

Why? Because when it comes down to making their own choices between money and morality in what is soon to become the world’s largest film market, it’s no contest. “For almost a decade Hollywood has rolled over and had its fluffy belly tickled by grim-faced CCP censors,” writes columnist Will Lloyd, who further notes that the party has other conditions that must be met before Hollywood can cash in. “The movie must feature a certain number of Chinese actors, a certain number of Chinese locations and cannot portray China as a villain,” he adds.

It’s worse than that. At San Diego’s ComicCon convention last month, the trailer for “Top Gun: Maverick,” the sequel to the 1986 action film starring Tom Cruise, was aired, and some fans noticed the iconic leather flight jacket worn by his character in the original film had been altered. “All of the patches from the original film were there except for flags representing Chinese adversaries Japan and the Republic of China (Taiwan). Those flags were missing,” columnist John Fund reveals.

Why? “The Hollywood Reporter found that the Chinese company Tencent is co-financing the sequel,” Fund adds. “Co-producing the film along with Paramount Pictures is Skydance, which is partially owned by Tencent.”

Top Gun Marverick is hardly an outlier. “Mission: Impossible — Fallout” (2018), “Venom” (2018), “The Meg” (2018), “Pacific Rim: Uprising” (2018), “Wonder Woman” (2017), “Kung Fu Panda 3” (2016), “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” (2016), “Doctor Strange” (2016), “Star Trek Beyond” (2016), “The Hunger Games Mockingjay — Part 1” (2014), “Iron Man 3” (2013), “World War Z” (2013), “Looper” (2012), “Red Dawn” (2012), and “Karate Kid” (2010) are some of other movies where Hollywood was eager to accommodate CCP “sensibilities” in a nation where the government has also decreed that a maximum of 34 American films per year can be shown on Chinese movie screens.

Examples of Hollywood’s obsequiousness abound. In “Iron Man 3,” Tony Stark’s arch-nemesis, The Mandarin, was “reconfigured” and four minutes were added to the film to make sure fans knew that Iron Man derived his power from Gu Li Duo, a milk-based drink found in Chinese convenience stores. “Karate Kid” was no longer about a Japanese karate master living in America teaching an American boy about that discipline, but rather a teacher in China teaching a teenager about the Chinese martial art of kung fu. In “World War Z,” a zombie outbreak that was to have begun in China was changed to North Korea. The same transformation took place in the 2012 remake of “Red Dawn,” where filmmakers changed the uniforms and flags of Chinese invaders to North Korean in post-production, at a price of more than $1 million. And in “Looper,” a time-traveling boss from the future tells his employee who wants to go to France he’s making a mistake. “Go to China,” the boss states. “I’m from the future. Go to China.”

“The line was inserted at the direct order of the film’s Chinese distributors,” Fund reveals.

“Wouldn’t it be powerful to see a movie about the struggles of Chinese artists, writers, and (yes) even filmmakers facing the monumental censorship machine of Communist China?” asks columnist Matt Daniels. “For all their bravado in front of captive American audiences, Hollywood shows its true colors by groveling voluntarily at the feet of the master censors in Beijing.”

Nonetheless, their ego-driven hypocrisy remains unbound. In May, Alyssa Milano and other equally zealous Hollywood elitists called for a boycott of Georgia because the state passed a restrictive abortion bill. It was their second call for such action. The first one came after Republican Brian Kemp officially won the state’s gubernatorial contest, defeating Democrat Stacey Abrams. That’s the same Stacy Abrams who has become the self-promoting, Hollywood-assisted icon for “stolen” elections arising from “racist suppression.”

How does Georgia figure into the entertainment industry? It’s the state that has earned the nickname “Hollywood of the South” because in 2017, it surpassed Hollywood and New York as the place where the most top-grossing films were made. It is also home to several television series, such as Netflix’s “Stranger Things” and “Ozark” and AMC’s “The Walking Dead.”

Why Georgia? Generous tax incentives. In other words, the same Hollywood elitists who routinely rail about the rich not paying “their fair share” have opted to abandon New York and California in favor of “Deploraville” to save themselves a buck, while denying the uber-leftist, high-tax fiefdoms of California and New York the revenue they would otherwise accrue from some of the most ardent champions of big — and expensive — government.

Even more hypocritical? The same Hollywood community that has hammered our “white supremacist” president and his “equally guilty” supporters for the carnage perpetrated in El Paso, Texas, Dayton, Ohio, and Gilroy, California, is currently “re-evaluating its strategy” regarding the release of “The Hunt,” according to Hollywood Reporter columnists Kim Masters and Tatiana Siegel.

What is “The Hunt”? “The violent, R-rated film from producer Jason Blum’s Blumhouse follows a dozen MAGA types who wake up in a clearing and realize they are being stalked for sport by elite liberals,” the duo explains.

Will Universal shelve the picture? At first, it hesitated. “Out of sensitivity to the attention on the country’s recent shooting tragedies, Universal Pictures and the filmmakers of ‘The Hunt’ have temporarily paused its marketing campaign and are reviewing materials as we move forward,” a Universal Pictures spokesperson told Fox News late Wednesday.

By Saturday — a day after President Trump rightly condemned this Hollywood effort to “create their own violence, and then try to blame others” — Universal backed down. "We stand by our filmmakers and will continue to distribute films in partnership with bold and visionary creators, like those associated with this satirical social thriller, but we understand that now is not the right time to release this film,“ the studio said in a statement.

Not the right time to release — in America. A Hollywood picture heartily celebrating Trump Derangement Syndrome? Bet the farm it ends up released in China — where it will likely sail right past CCP censors.

Former scumbag/liar-nObama White House

Counsel Greg Craig Goes On Trial

Over Ukraine Work

by Ryan Lucas

{ npr.org } ~ Former scumbag/liar-nObama White House counsel Greg Craig goes on trial Monday... accused of making false statements connected to work he did on behalf of powerful interests in Ukraine. Craig, a top attorney in Democratic political circles who worked for two Democratic presidents, was indicted in April on two counts of providing false statements to the Justice Department related to his Ukraine work. The judge presiding over the case threw out one of those counts last week, but Craig will still go to trial on the single remaining count. The case against Craig, who has pleaded not guilty, was born out of former special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe. During its investigation, Mueller's team uncovered evidence of alleged wrongdoing by Craig, but referred the material to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia for prosecution. It is one of several cases to emerge from the Mueller inquiry that allege violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The law, known as FARA, requires that people doing political or public relations work in the U.S. on behalf of a foreign entity disclose that fact. It is illegal to willfully not register or to provide false or misleading statements to the Justice Department's FARA unit. In Craig's case, prosecutors say he did just that in connection with his work for the Ukrainian government. The indictment alleges that Craig withheld information that he knew he should have provided to the department and provided other information that he knew was incorrect. Craig's lawyers, William W. Taylor III and William J. Murphy of the law firm Zuckerman Spaeder, have denied that Craig broke the law. In a statement at the time of the indictment, they called the government's prosecution "a misguided abuse of prosecutorial discretion."...

William Barr 'appalled' by Jeffrey Epstein death,

says questions 'must be answered'

By Adam Shaw and Lucia I. Suarez Sang

{foxnews.com} ~ Attorney General William Barr said Saturday that he is “appalled” by the death of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein... and said that he has spoken to the Department of Justice’s inspector general about opening a probe into the circumstances surrounding the apparent suicide. “I was appalled to learn that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead early this morning from an apparent suicide while in federal custody. Mr. Epstein’s death raises serious questions that must be answered. In addition to the FBI’s investigation, I have consulted with the Inspector General who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Epstein’s death." Epstein, who is accused of sex trafficking minors, was found unresponsive inside his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City around 6:30 a.m. Life-saving measures were initiated immediately by responding staff. He was transported to New York Presbyterian-Lower Manhattan Hospital and was dead on arrival, officials said. The New York City medical examiner's office told Fox News that an autopsy is pending to determine the cause of death. But the death comes two weeks after the 66-year-old was placed on suicide watch after being found injured in his cell. Epstein was in his own cell at the time of his death and was no longer on suicide watch, according to the Associated Press. Earlier, multiple outlets reported that Barr was “livid” at learning of Epstein’s death. Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman described Epstein's death as "disturbing." "To those brave young women who have already come forward and to the many others who have yet to do so, let me reiterate that we remain committed to standing for you, and our investigation of the conduct charged in the Indictment – which included a conspiracy count – remains ongoing," he said in a statement. Epstein's death sparked calls for answers from across the political spectrum. Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., tweeted that “we need answers, and lots of them.” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said in Iowa that the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death should be “reviewed.”... Why is this so important to find answer when this country has other issues? https://www.foxnews.com/politics/william-barr-appalled-jeffrey-epstein-death

House Democrats Refuse To Request IRS Audit

Of loose lips liar-Biden’s ‘Questionable’ Tax Returns

by Tristan Justice

{ thefederalist.com } ~ Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee are refusing to request an Internal Revenue Service audit of former vice president loose lips liar-Joe Biden’s tax returns... following the release of the 2020 Democratic front-runner’s financial documents that show loose lips liar-Biden used a tax loophole to avoid paying as much as $500,000 in taxes. For the past two years since leaving the scumbag/liar-nObama administration, loose lips liar-Biden has structured his finances to take advantage of a tax loophole that kept the loose lips liar-Bidens from paying thousands of dollars in additional taxes to fund the administration’s signature health-care law, the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as scumbag/liar-nObamacare. Several experts who analyzed loose lips liar-Biden’s released financial documents for the Wall Street Journal have called the arrangement legally questionable. The office of the committee’s chairman, U.S. Rep. Richard Neal (D-Mass.), which has filed a lawsuit against the IRS and the Treasury Department for the release of President Donald Trump’s tax returns, refused several requests from The Federalist to comment or to call for an investigation into loose lips liar-Biden’s returns. Released financial records show that the loose lips liar-Bidens raked in more than $15 million over the last two years from speeches, book sales, and loose lips liar-Joe’s work as a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Much of that revenue was funneled through two S corporations set up to circumvent paying taxes that were created to fund Medicare and scumbag/liar-nObamacare, despite the former vice president’s rhetoric on the 2020 campaign trail promising to protect scumbag/liar-nObamacare and unveiling a new plan dubbed the “Affordable Care Act 2.0.” While the loose lips liar-Bidens still paid all of their federal taxes on their salary income, they avoided paying self-employment taxes on millions of dollars recorded as profits from the two S corporations, reducing their tax bill by an estimated $500,000. An analysis from tax experts in the Wall Street Journal called the loose lips liar-Biden’s use the tax shelters a “pretty aggressive” and “cut and dried” abuse of the system considering the low salaries the loose lips liar-Bidens gave themselves. scumbag/liar-nObamacare pushed the self-employment tax rate from 2.9 percent to 3.8 percent for individuals whose incomes are above $200,000 and for families whose incomes rise over $250,000. In routing money made through speeches and book sales through the two S corporations, however, the loose lips liar-Bidens were able to collect a majority of the income as profits that were exempt from the additional scumbag/liar-nObamacare self-employment tax.

U.S. Border Patrol Patrol Agents Came Under

Heavy Fire From Mexico Side of the Rio Grande

by WARNER TODD HUSTON

{ godfatherpolitics.com } ~ A U.S. Border Patrol boat patrolling the Rio Grande River near Fronton, Texas, was fired on with automatic weapons from the Mexican side of the border riddling the boat with up to 50 bullet holes, the government reports... “Agents saw four subjects with automatic weapons who shot over 50 rounds at them. The boat was hit several times but no one on board was injured,” U.S. Customs and Border Protection said on Friday.Two agents working in the Rio Grande Valley, who have to remain anonymous since they were not authorized to speak publicly, told Conservative Review that the Border Patrol was investigating reports of gunfire across from a large island on the river that is claimed by Mexico. The boat hit was reportedly a 21 Foot RSDV Riverine Shallow Draft Vessel. The bullet holes are clearly seen in the photos later released by the Border Patrol. Meanwhile, our government policy prevents our agents from returning fire! Imagine being in a service where you can be shot down by machine guns by Mexican cartel members, and you aren’t even allowed to fight back! https://godfatherpolitics.com/u-s-border-patrol-patrol-agents-came-under-heavy-fire-from-mexico-side-of-the-rio-grande/

Lindsey Graham: “Systematic Corruption”

Guided FBI’s Pursuit of Trump Campaign

by patriotnewsdaily.com ~ After a series of documents were obtained by Judicial Watch, proving that Justice Department official Bruce Ohr knew all about Christopher Steele’s anti-Trump bias before the FBI used his phony dossier to get a warrant against Carter Page... Sen. Lindsey Graham appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program to say that it was only the latest evidence that there was a plot within the scumbag/liar-nObama administration to bring Trump down. “Here’s what’s we’re looking at,” said Graham. “Systematic corruption at the highest level of the Department of Justice and the FBI against President Trump and in favor of scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton.” Hannity asked Graham if he believed that DOJ officials intentionally lied to the FISA court so they could get their surveillance warrant on Page. “The best you could say is that they were incompetent,” Graham replied. “The most likely outcome is that they wanted a result.” The FISA court is somewhat like a grand jury, in that the defendant Page, in this case is not allowed to present evidence in his own defense. Clearly, this would defeat the purpose of the warrant in the first place; if a person knows they are about to be under federal surveillance, they are unlikely to commit any crimes. But with that advantage also comes a responsibility – it’s up to the FBI to present exculpatory evidence on the suspect’s behalf, so that the FISA court can make a fair determination about the need for a warrant. In this particular case, however, it appears the FBI went out of their way to shield evidence that would have made their request for a warrant seem ridiculous. “I think the insurance policy is what we’re seeing here, getting into the Trump campaign,” Graham continued. “The FISA warrant against Carter Page was a fraud, I believe. The counter-intelligence investigation is something we have to look at very closely.” Evidence that the FBI withheld from the FISA Court or minimized: That Steele had a passionate anti-Trump bias. This was known, according to the Judicial Watch documents, as early as September 2016, well before the FBI attempted to secure their first warrant based on Steele’s dossier. That Steele was the sole source for a Yahoo News article around this time. Instead, the FBI used that story as independent corroboration for Steele’s claims, providing the dossier with the only real credibility it could have had considering it has been proven almost wholly fictional at this point. That Steele was paid by Fusion GPS, a firm which was funded by Perkins Coie, a law firm that worked for the Democratic National Committee and the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton campaign. Graham said that if a Republican administration had acted against a Democratic campaign in this way, it would be all over the news. “You couldn’t turn on your television,” Graham said. But since it’s the other way around, the only attention the media gives it is to call it a “right-wing conspiracy theory.” And that’s if they ever mention it at all. http://patriotnewsdaily.com/lindsey-graham-systematic-corruption-guided-fbis-pursuit-of-trump-campaign/

Dems and Trump Press for Gun Control

Thomas Gallatin: Immediately following recent attacks wherein psychopaths in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, murdered over 30 people, Democrat politicians and much of the mainstream media were quick to call for new restrictions on firearms. Even President Donald Trump, facing a massive Leftmedia campaign blaming his rhetoric for supposedly motivating the attackers while he emphatically condemned the “barbaric” attacks, also called for the strengthening of the nation’s background-check laws.

Democrat presidential candidates clearly see these latest atrocities as an opportunity to further constrain the Second Amendment. Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren (MA) on Saturday released her latest gun-grabbing scheme, in which she calls for a new “federal assault weapons ban,” banning “high-capacity ammunition magazines,” increased taxes on firearms and ammunition, longer waiting periods for firearm purchases, and holding “the manufacturer of the weapon [used in shootings] strictly liable for compensatory damages to the victim or their family.” Warren’s plan would also require “individuals already in possession of assault weapons to register them under the National Firearms Act.”

Once again, rather than focusing the blame for these crimes on those individuals responsible for committing these mass murders, dinky-Warren seeks to hold the firearms and their manufacturers as criminally liable for their negligent use. Notice that Warren and her leftist ilk don’t hold the same nonsensical standard for other companies. Where are the calls for “common sense” knife-control laws following last week’s mass murder via stabbing of four individuals by a criminal in California? Where are the calls for automaker Dodge to be held “seriously liable” for the Charger that was used by a white supremacist to run over and murder a woman in the Charlottesville protest two years ago today? Obviously, Warren’s intent here is to effectively eviscerate the Second Amendment.

However, what is even more troubling is how effective the Democrats’ leverage of these two atrocities has been, as Trump is looking to find some legislative fix to a problem that finds its root in the hearts and minds of seriously disturbed individuals. Neither of these latest mass murders were Christians. In fact, one was an avowed Satanist, who wrote of his motivation, “I am the servant of the serpent evil incarnate, flesh consumer, light destroyer, fueled by hate, rage my strength, distrust my shield.” In other words, what an individual believes about life and how they see themselves and the world around them is where the problem truly lies.

The availability of firearms is not the root “problem,” yet that appears to be what Congress and Trump are focused on. While the desire to prevent seriously disturbed individuals from obtaining firearms is a sensible concept, the effective implementation of such a proposal is sure to run roughshod over numerous civil liberties such as due process. Secondly, these “red flag” laws, as they are called, have not proven to be effective in reducing gun violence. For example, authorities had been warned repeatedly about the threat posed by the school attacker in Parkland, Florida, but to no avail. In this latest atrocity, it was reported that the El Paso perpetrator’s mother had contacted the police weeks ago after he first purchased his AR-15 to express her concern about him owning it.

Due to the effectiveness of the anti-gun lobby and public pressure, it appears that Trump and other Republicans will seek to produce some form of new gun-control legislation that compromises with some of what Democrats are calling for. In this instance, the pragmatic approach may be to produce legislation that tightens potential gun-purchasing loopholes while preventing any banning of firearms. ~The Patriot Post
