The Corruption of Social Justice
by RABBI ARYEH SPERO
{ spectator.org } ~ Once a lofty concept, the term social justice has been hijacked and exploited by the political Left to radically transform America... and bully Americans into forfeiting many basic rights in deference to the Left’s agenda. Intoning social justice has proven to be a sure-proof formula for silencing average Americans, thereby providing the Left with endless societal victories. After all, who wants to be accused of standing in the way of social justice? Liberal social justice purveyors view themselves as the country’s moral authority, best fit to decide the allowable extent of our freedom of speech and religion, and believe only they care about social justice and equity. To date, most liberal assumptions and definitions of social justice have been automatically accepted. For example, the term has been used successfully by the Left for the last half century to validate and implement the welfare state. But what is being advocated is not social justice but socialism, and in other cases a push for radical cultural Marxism....
Trump slaps sanctions on Iran
after formally withdrawing from nuclear deal
by S.A. Miller and Dave Boyer
{ washingtontimes.com } ~ President Trump announced Tuesday that the U.S. was pulling out of the Iran nuke deal... keeping his promise to rip up what he called the worst deal ever but igniting fears that the Islamic regime in Tehran will fast-track a nuclear bomb. “This was a horrible one-sided deal that never ever should have been made,” Mr. Trump said in a speech from the White House. He said the liar-nObama-era agreement guaranteed Iran would eventually get a nuclear weapon, and killing the deal was the only way to prevent it. “If I allowed this deal to stand, there would soon be a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. Everyone would want their weapons ready before Iran had theirs,” the president said... https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/may/8/donald-trump-slaps-sanctions-iran-after-formally-w/.
China is Buying America with and without CFIUS
by Denise Simon
{ founderscode.com } ~ When China is not buying America, they are busy in other parts of the globe buying places like Europe... That is how China is expanding, including stealing intelligence, espionage and hacking. The parts of Britain not owned by Russia are being gobbled up by China. Russia has a long plan and China has a long plan, not too sure about the United States, Britain or other allies. There has been many discussions in Congress to reform CFIUS, Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. The most widely noticed scandal with CFIUS was the Uranium One deal. Anyway, John Carlin recently spoke with the National Law Journal about bipartisan legislation introduced in November in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives by U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and U.S. Rep. Robert Pittenger, R-North Carolina, respectively, to overhaul the CFIUS review process. CFIUS reviews, which are voluntary, are meant to protect the nation from business transactions that pose a national security or strategic risk to the United States. The panel has the authority to require the transaction’s parties to undertake risk mitigation, such as carving out a specific location or element of the deal... https://founderscode.com/china-is-buying-america-with-and-without-cfius/ .
Has Rod Rosenstein Gone Off the Deep End?
by Onan Coca
{ foxnews.com } ~ Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein may have bitten off more than he can chew, when he decided to find work for Robert Mueller... In recent days, after almost two years of investigating with nothing to show for their efforts, Rosenstein has become a touch ornery... He recently implied that his critics should be careful about the things they say, because it could come back to bite them. Congressman Ron DeSantis (R-FL) didn’t find Rosenstein’s comments helpful, and he’s starting to wonder if the Assistant Attorney General actually understands the Constitution that he has been charged to defend? DeSantis argues that Rosenstein has “botched” the investigation, and that Mueller doesn’t seem to have any reason to need to speak with President Trump because he hasn’t found any evidence that any crime or malfeasance was committed... .

Sorry, Liberal Media,
But You Own Michelle Wolf
by David Limbaugh
{ townhall.com } ~ Michelle Wolf is not the first so-called comic to maliciously insult conservatives and Republicans at a White House Correspondents' Association dinner, but she was intentionally mean-spirited, and even after the blowback, she's unrepentant.
Members of the liberal mainstream media have expressed disapproval over some of Wolf's comments, saying she went too far. But I'm not buying it. This is what passes as liberal humor these days. Just watch Jimmy Kimmel, Bill Maher and Stephen Colbert and tell me their humor is less malevolent.
But hold on, you say. There's a difference between late-night TV and a formal dinner pregnant with self-important dignitaries of the Washington press corps. Perhaps, but the point is there is a receptive constituency for this kind of bile. The organization had to have known what to expect from Wolf, and she admits she was just being herself that night. "If you've seen any of my comedy, you know that I don't -- I'm not nice," said Wolf. "I don't pull punches. I'm not afraid to talk about things."
Revealingly, comedian Tina Fey said, "When you invite a comedian into that place, where that tone is set, they're going to give it to you straight, and I think that's pretty much what she did." Whoa! In one line, Fey defends Wolf's nastiness, confirms that the association should have known what it was getting with her and fixes her stamp of approval on Wolf's calling White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders a liar.
The unapologetic Wolf, however, denies she was ridiculing Sanders' looks. But in her indignant denial, she admitted something just as damning: "I think if you listen to the joke, you'll understand that it's about the fact that she lies, and if it's taken another way, I think you should go back and listen to it again."
Oh, OK, Michelle. You are not a bad guy after all. You only vaguely hinted at Sanders' appearance, but you admittedly called her a liar outright -- right to her face in front of a large crowd present in the room and an exponentially larger one watching on television. Now that's virtuous. Bless you, you crusader for truth and all that is good and decent.
It is shocking that anyone would think her disparaging slander was funny. But it is not surprising that she would assume that calling Sanders a liar would be well-received or socially acceptable. This is the way far too many leftists think these days. How else do you explain the popularity of their comedians who routinely traffic in this bilge?
Indeed, no one really cares what Wolf thinks. If she had made these remarks in a smoky nightclub, who would know or care? It's what it says about the left that makes it newsworthy.
Based on my own interactions with people of this mindset, I think many of them are so consumed with their contempt for conservatives -- and especially President Donald Trump -- they believe that almost anything goes if it advances the cause of denigrating them.
Their thinking seems to be that conservatives and Trump are so evil that ordinary rules of decorum can be suspended to speak "truth to power" -- as if they're not themselves powerful and as if they are speaking truth. See Tina Fey's comments, above. It's the same thought process driving their rationalization that free speech can be denied to conservatives who express ideas they find repugnant. With every passing year, leftists gain more recruits to serve alongside them as mini-ministers of truth. The level of self-deceit they possess that twists their minds and darkens their sensitivities is alarming, and it's getting worse.
I assume that many of you will think I am hyperventilating or exaggerating -- blowing this way out of proportion and making unwarranted generalities.
I understand you believe that, but I've witnessed this growing hostility on the left for years, which leads even mainstream liberals to reflexively brand conservatives as racists, sexists and homophobes simply by virtue of their conservatism. You can't oppose illegal immigration or criticize Barack liar-nObama on policy without being called a racist. The smear has worked, which I dare say is why such a disproportionate percentage of minorities vote Democratic when Republican policies benefit them more -- and why Democrats are losing their minds over Kanye West's praise of Trump and his assertion that African-Americans should be free to think for themselves and not be pressured into identity groupthink.
I could cite examples all day of liberals condemning conservatives as evil because of their political views and consequently justifying their mistreatment. Jon Favreau, a former speechwriter for liar-nObama, snidely defended Wolf's remarks, mocking complaints about her tone and civility. He was not alone; all kinds of leftist figures defended Wolf, as you can verify with a quick Google search.
Actor jerk-Robert De Niro doubled down on Wolf's invective, not only defending her but also castigating the White House Correspondents' Association for distancing itself from her. "Shame on them! Stand up and strap on your balls and deal," said jerk-De Niro. jerk-De Niro justified Wolf's vitriol because Trump and Sanders and company are "liars and bullies." What did I tell you? Anything goes as long as you're attacking evil conservatives.
ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, hardly an outlier on the left, took to Twitter to chide the media for not defending Wolf, who "was FUNNY."
Wolf put the elite leftist media in a box when she so openly attacked a woman in public while they were conspicuously present, but this is how far too many of them think, and this is why they invited her to the event and why they invited the equally offensive Wanda Sykes and Stephen Colbert in the past. Please spare us the feigned disapproval, guys. This is what you do.
by Political Editors: Senate Democrats, so blinded by their determination to resist President Donald Trump at every conceivable opportunity, can’t see that they are actually actively working against the very ideal of equality they so regularly espouse. But, honestly, should we expect any different?
