smoll-1-1.jpg?profile=RESIZE_710xIt is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge.

Picture, if you will, a gay black man walking home from a sandwich shop in Chicago…a city run by liberals…at 2am. Suddenly, that black man is allegedly assaulted by two white men, wearing red hats and masks, who put a noose around his neck, hurl racial and gay slurs at him, punch him and tell him that he’s in MAGA country before disappearing into the night while neither robbing him, or taking his sandwich.

It is a very disturbing scene but know this…

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Senate Republicans will force Democrats and several of their presidential candidates to go on record as soon as next week on a Green New Deal plan that has attracted ridicule and split the party... Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is fast-tracking a Green New Deal resolution through the Senate, enabling a vote as early as next week. The resolution was authored by rising freshman star Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and longtime climate advocate Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass. It is nonbinding but calls for Congress to take the lead in ridding the nation of fossil fuels in the next few decades, among other dramatic environmental and economic changes.The plan to eradicate fossil fuels is considered so drastic, Senate Minority Whip scumbag-Dick Durbin, D-Ill., asked Markey after reading the resolution, “What in the heck is this?” Some Democrats are distancing themselves, but others will likely back the resolution, including a bevy of Democrats running for president. “I’m proud to co-sponsor @commie-AOC and @EdMarkey's Green New Deal,” Sen. lowlife-Kamala Harris, D-Calif., who is running for president, said on Twitter. “We must aggressively tackle climate change which poses an existential threat to our nation.”...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress/mcconnell-hopes-to-trap-democrats-in-their-own-green-new-deal?utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_02/24/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief

The Shadiest Plea Deals In 
dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s Tarnished Career

by uspoliticsandnews.com:   The mainstream liberal media spent an awful lot of time explaining to us back in 2017 about what a hard-charging, fair-minded, straight-shooting lawman Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller is... The problem with propping up a public figure like dirty cop-Mueller in such a fashion is that it’s easy for the average person to look up his record and do a little digging. The free flow of information on the internet has been the bane of the scumbag/liar-Clintons and other elites who still have figured out that it’s no longer 1994. We don’t trust the media to tell us the truth, so we can check out things like dirty cop-Mueller’s track record on our own. For example, dirty cop-Mueller has this weird career quirk in which powerful pedophiles in his crosshairs always seem to slip away with incredibly light sentences. We’ve also mentioned previously here and elsewhere the fact that dirty cop-Mueller’s star witness in the Russian collusion investigation Lebanese businessman George Nader turned out to be a convicted pedophile who fled the country, causing dirty cop-Mueller’s initial case to collapse back in March of 2018. Unless you only get your news from CNN, you’ve probably heard of convicted billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The disgusting Epstein was a major scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton donor during her failed 2008 and 2016 runs, and he also donated liberally to the scumbag/liar-Clinton Foundation...

by wnd.com:   Liberals outnumber conservatives in only six states, according to the latest Gallup survey. That’s a drop of 30 percent from the previous survey, which found nine states where liberals have the edge, the Washington Examiner reported... The six states are Massachusetts, Hawaii, Vermont, Washington, New York and New Hampshire. Additionally, in California conservatives and liberals split 29 percent to 29 percent. Nationwide, Gallup said, those who identify themselves conservative hold a nine-point lead. Gallup noted, however, conservatives previously had a 21 point lead, and some state figures fall within the margin of error. Gallup said that in 25 states, the conservative advantage is significantly greater than the national average. And in 19 “highly conservative” states, conservatives outnumber liberals by at least 20 percentage points... Then why do the dems control the House.

Police arrest head of Waqf

{jpost.com} ~ The two senior Wakf officials were arrested on Sunday in a follow-up to Friday’s riots on the Temple Mount in which thousands of Palestinians stormed the Golden Gate... which had been closed by a court order since 2003. Jerusalem Police on Sunday arrested the east Jerusalem Wakf chairman Sheikh Abdel Azim Salhab, and Sheikh Najeh Bkeirat, deputy director of the Wakf. The Jerusalem Wakf Islamic religious trust was instituted by Jordan after Israel’s War of Independence and is best known for controlling and managing the current Islamic edifices on and around the Temple Mount. The east Jerusalem Wakf is controlled by Jordan. Jordanian Minister for Wakf Affairs Abdel Nasser Abu al Basal strongly condemned the arrests, calling them a “dangerous and serious escalation.” The minister also warned that the arrests would harm Jordan’s role as custodian of the holy shrines in Jerusalem.
commie-Ocasio-Cortez and Newsom: 
Stupid-East Meets Stupid-West
by Scott Mayer

{americanthinker.com} ~ While there is an immense distance in miles separating commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the East Coast and Gavin Newsom on the West Coast, it appears dwarfed by the vast empty spaces between the ears on their inflated heads... While lecturing us little people on two entirely different subjects, stupid-East somehow managed to intersect with stupid-West on one very important point. That point slightly dumbed-down: if it ain't there, it ain't gonna happen.  Over on the East Coast, commie-Ocasio-Cortez helped kill the Amazon deal and before her followers could chant the words "cow farts are killing us," she had mentally repurposed every dime of the $3 billion in direct subsidies she was sure Amazon was set to unjustly receive. But if it ain't there, it ain't gonna happen.  Rightly , many on the reality side of the political spectrum wonder how dumb commie-Ocasio-Cortez must be to think there was a pot of taxpayer money being handed over to Amazon. Now that the deal is dead, instead of Amazon being able to keep $3 billion of what it earns as a temporary incentive to bring thousands of jobs and many billions of dollars in future tax revenue to the area, there will be zip, zero, nada for progressives to "invest" given that's all they really care about.  I wonder if commie-Ocasio-Cortez will take a vow of poverty, put her current lack of money where her mouth is, and fight the urge to magically turn her $170K-per-year salary into multi-millions while producing nothing before she finally exits Congress. Here on the West Coast, after Trump declared a state of emergency, Governor Newsom rushed into the spotlight with his A.G. and promised to sue the Trump administration for diverting funds and "hurting California."  No word from Newsom on the harm the $77-billion train boondoggle or $23 billion spent yearly on illegal immigration enough to pay every public school teacher more than $75K per year has done to California...

Behind the Left's 'Free College' Mantra

by Thomas Gallatin:  Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders (Socialist-VT) was the first to call for what has fast become an obligatory policy position for all current Democrat presidential contenders — “free” college. As with health care, Democrats’ call for free college is a play for the votes of recent college graduates who find themselves saddled with thousands in college debt. Much of that debt is due to the steep increase in tuition costs seen over the past three decades — an increase that has outpaced the rate of inflation. CNBC reports that the average annual tuition cost at a public four-year institution for the 1987-1988 school year was $3,190 (adjusted to reflect 2017 dollars) while the average for the 2017-2018 was $9,970, an increase of 129%. For private nonprofit four-year institutions, the numbers are even worse with an increase over the same time period of 213%. In other words, the increasing cost of college is not a myth, so it’s understandable that Democrats would add this to their litany of “free stuff.”

But there’s a bigger picture here than simply seeing this as Democrats blatantly seeking the college vote. Back in 2011, Harvard business professor Clayton Christensen made the somewhat startling prediction that “50% of the 4,000 colleges and universities in the U.S. will be bankrupt in 10 to 15 years.” And Christensen was not the only one to sound the alarm, as the U.S. Department of Education and Moody’s Investors Service also projected that over the coming years the “closure rates of small colleges and universities will triple, and mergers will double.”

Thus far, the closure rates among four-year colleges and universities have ticked up slightly, but as Michael Horn writes in Forbes, “The total number of mergers and acquisitions from just 2010-2017 has doubled the activity that occurred in the prior decade, which further suggests that the Moody’s projections may be conservative.” Horn further points out that a combination of decreasing student enrollment, increasing online-program enrollment, and the fact that “at least 25% of private colleges now running deficits … and public colleges … expenses have outpaced revenue the past three years” is “a recipe for disaster.”

So, back to Democrats and their free college mantra. What Democrats are really after is the socializing of higher education. By doing so, they would prevent those fiscally untenable institutions from going under — via the taxpayer — while at the same time insuring that these enclaves of leftist ideology are enabled, without market constraints, to continue indoctrinating America’s youth.  ~The Patriot Post

California Democrat, Adam Schiff, rejects the facts as found

Posted by Oscar Y. Harward on February 25, 2019 at 5:48pm

By  Oscar Y. Harward

It appears Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) may be a wishful disbeliever of the world.  Both formal investigations have confirmed President Donald Trump is cleared; violated no collusion or crime with Russia involving the 2016 Presidential Election. 

That is, it appears all participants have cleared President Trump except one; Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA).  It appears Schiff acts as a lone attack dog for Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.  Rep. Schiff’s versions as he expresses on TV are, somewhat contrary to the facts as found by both of the two investigations. 

President Trump has consistently said he did nothing wrong.  It appears President Trump was and is consistently telling the truth. 

After some 2 years of Special Counsel Robert Mueller and a Senate Committee investigating President Trump with any involvement with Russia attempting to sway the 2016 Presidential Election, the Senate and Special Counsel Robert Mueller has concluded there was ‘NO’ crime committed by President Trump. 

Evidence show that Candidate Hillary Clinton and her campaign may have participated in with Russia and their efforts to sway the 2016 Presidential Election. 

Special Counsel Robert Mueller had 17 investigators; 13 hardened Democrats, 4 Unaffiliated, and -0- Republicans to investigate President Donald Trump and his alleged collusion with a Russia/Trump effort to swing the 2016 Presidential Election. 

Mueller is a ‘registered’ Republican. Of the 17 other investigators, 9 of the 17 investigators made donations to Democrats; 6 donated to Hillary Clinton.  One contributed to Republicans. 

After some 2 years investigating President Trump and his part in a Russia involvement of swaying the 2016 Presidential Election, ALL investigations now conclude there was and is NO COLLUSION AND NO CRIME. 

Rep. Schiff is tracking a dishonest matter aiming at a dishonest effort.

{apnews.com} ~ The Democrats had blamed Russia for the hacking and release of damaging material on his presidential opponent, scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton. Trump wasn’t buying it. But on July 27, 2016... midway through a news conference in Florida, Trump decided to entertain the thought for a moment. “Russia, if you’re listening,” said Trump, looking directly into a television camera, “I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing” — messages scumbag/liar-Clinton was reported to have deleted from her private email server. Actually, Russia was doing more than listening: It had been trying to help Republican Trump for months. That very day, hackers working with Russia’s military intelligence tried to break into email accounts associated with scumbag/liar-Clinton’s personal office.It was just one small part of a sophisticated election interference operation carried out by the Kremlin — and meticulously chronicled by special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller. We know this, though dirty cop-Mueller has made not a single public comment since his appointment in May 2017. We know this, though the full, final report on the investigation, believed to be in its final stages, may never be made public. It’s up to Attorney General William Barr...

{rightwingtribune.com} ~ President Donald Trump has slammed the brakes on what the Democrats thought would be a way to stop him for getting his national emergency... The Democrats in the House introduced a resolution on Friday that would block President Trump’s national emergency. The bill is believed to have support from some Republicans in the House and Senate, The Hill reported. The resolution sponsored by Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) had 222 co-sponsors. The measure is expected to pass the Democratic-held House but will need to win GOP support to get through the Senate. Several GOP senators have expressed opposition to Trump’s emergency declaration, warning it could set a precedent for a future president to declare an emergency to circumvent Congress on another issue, such as climate change or gun control. As a result, it’s possible Democrats in the Senate could win the handful of votes needed to pass the measure. It was believed by some that President Trump would be reluctant to veto a bill that had Republican support. But the president put that speculation out to pasture when he said he would veto the measure...What they talking about, previous presidents have used the emergency declaration.  https://rightwingtribune.com/2019/02/24/trump-destroys-dems-dreams/

We will bring dirty cop-Bob Mueller in to testify before Congress. We will take it to court if necessary,” scumbag-Schiff said in an interview on ABC’s “This Week.” dirty cop-Mueller is expected to submit a final report to the Department of Justice within weeks. From there, the Justice Department is required to provide a summary of the findings to Congress, which could then choose to make unclassified portions of the report public. But Democrats have said they are concerned Attorney General William Barr will withhold key portions of the report. Barr, who was confirmed to office Feb. 14, has said he plans to provide as much transparency as possible, though he has stopped short of committing to a full release of the document. scumbag-Schiff said in addition to the report itself, he wants to see the underlying evidence collected by dirty cop-Mueller during his 21-month probe. dirty cop-Mueller, who was appointed special counsel May 17, 2017, indicted more than three dozen individuals, including several Trump associates, during the investigation, but none for a conspiracy with Russians. scumbag-Schiff said he ultimately believes the Justice Department will release a full report to Congress...
Hypocrite Nancy Pulosi Refuses To Release 
Tax Returns While Pressuring Trump

{ightwingtribune.com} ~ House Speaker and California Rep. Nancy Pulosi is perhaps the biggest hypocrite in Congress. For the better part of two years Pulosi has squawked and squealed about wanting President  Donald Trump to release his tax returns... She even sponsored a bill, H.R. 1, that would require presidential candidates in 2020 and beyond (read President Trump) to release their tax returns. But lo and behold, guess who has not released their tax returns for the American citizens to review. If you guessed Rep. Nancy Pulosi, the Speaker of the House and third in line for the presidency, you are correct. Pulosi’s Chief of Staff Drew Hammill told CNSNews that Pulosi “will gladly release her tax returns if and when she runs for president.” As she is about to be 79-years-old next month the prospect of her running for president is highly unlikely. But, as stated, she is third in line for the presidency and if she wants others to show their tax returns she should lead by example...

The Department of Mis-Education

by Brian Mark Weber:  At the end of each school year, children often recite the traditional American proverb, “no more pencils, no more books, no more teachers’ dirty looks.” But how about no more Department of Education? Could there be a more deceptive euphemism than the name given to this gargantuan federal bureaucracy, which has done so little to help our kids and their teachers succeed?

At one time, there was hope. In 1980, Ronald Reagan campaigned on abolishing the Department of Education, though he didn’t succeed in doing so. Even in the 1990s, the Republican Party platform included strong and clear language stating that education decisions belong to schools, teachers, parents, and communities instead of Washington bureaucrats. But less than a decade later, George W. Bush embraced a federal government  role in education when he pushed for, and successfully implemented, Ted Kennedy’s No Child Left Behind Act.

For conservatives, all hope seemed to be lost. But then Donald Trump became the first president since Reagan to assertively take on the behemoth DOE by promising to return more power to states and local jurisdictions. In 2017, President Trump signed  the Education Federalism Executive Order designed to begin removing the federal government from K-12 education. Unfortunately, little has changed.

Notwithstanding the fact that there are some good people with good intentions at the DOE, even the Government Accountability Office recently identified some serious problems within the department. These include oversight and monitoring, data quality, capacity, and methodological limitations.

That’s an official way of saying that the very people charged with determining how and what your children learn in the classroom are making these decisions in a completely dysfunctional environment. How do they know what’s best for our kids if they can’t even manage their own affairs in Washington?

But don’t think the debate over federal funding of education is a Left-Right issue. Democrat and Republican administrations alike share blame for entangling schools across the country in a web of government mandates and policies. Sure, school districts can opt out of some of these schemes, but they’ll lose federal funding. And despite President Trump’s promises, the situation looks bleak.

Vicki E. Alger writes at The Federalist, “The Trump administration proposed merging the education and labor departments last June to streamline education programs and minimize bureaucracy. The plan was met with bipartisan criticism including by members of several conservative education organizations.”

The criticism from conservatives is well-founded. Merging the departments of Labor and Education may feel and sound efficient, but we’d still end up with a large, complex bureaucracy unable to function in a manner consistent with the vision and values of parents and educators at the state and local levels. And who wants Labor Department officials making decisions about education?

One of the organizations upset over the president’s failure to curtail federal involvement in education is U.S. Parents Involved in Education (USPIE), which blamedPresident Trump for using “the hammer of the federal government to broaden its authority and disregard the rights of states and parents.”

Additionally, USPIE remains concerned that Trump has not worked more to tackle Common Core. In fact, since appointing Betsy DeVos, considered by many to be a top-down educator, Trump has abandoned his pledge to taken on Common Core. Additionally, USPIE is troubled over DeVos’s support of the United Nations education agenda and the fact that she threatened to withhold money from states if they didn’t comply with federal mandates.

Of the total education budget, the federal government only provides about 8% of the funding for K-12 schools and programs. But there’s a major string attached once that first federal dollar is accepted. In return for federal funding, schools have had to agree to a laundry list of policies made by Washington bureaucrats instead of local school boards, parents, and taxpayers.

It’s no wonder that school-choice programs and homeschooling options are becoming more popular all across the country. After all, the key decisions about how our children are educated should remain in the hands of those who know our kids best.  ~The Patriot Post

{thehill.com} ~ Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) predicted on Friday that a "handful" of Republicans will back a resolution to block President Trump's emergency declaration... to construct the U.S.-Mexico border wall. "A handful. … But there will be enough left to sustain a veto," Graham told Fox News, asked how many Republicans would vote with Democrats in the Senate. Graham didn't offer a specific number for how many of his Republican colleagues he thinks will back the resolution. He said that he would "absolutely not" vote for the Democrat-led resolution, adding that he is "100 percent with the president." Graham, who has emerged as a vocal ally for Trump in the Senate, also accused Democrats of "hypocrisy" on border security and argued they were opposing the president's plan because "they just hate Trump." "I hope Republicans will not reward this, quite frankly," Graham added on Friday...

New Green Deal About Controlling You 
& Your Money, NOT Climate Change

One of the greatest absurdities of the so-called New Green Deal proposed then backed away from by socialist-inclined Democrats, is the idea that the nation’s  transportation needs can be met by building high-speed rail everywhere – and getting rid of cars and airplanes... This utopian nonsense supposedly is rooted in a desire to “do something about climate change,” which has become code for destroying civilization’s affluence, seizing control over you and your money and enriching crony opportunists. The timing was exquisite when just days after the New Green Deal was made public, California’s new left-wing Governor Gavin Newsom pulled the plug on the state’s fanciful plan to build a high-speed rail from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Newsom’s sacrilege to the gods of climate change illustrates what happens when socialist utopian dreams bump up against reality. Originally estimated to cost $33 billion, it’s more reasonably predicted to exceed $100 billion today. After 11 years no track has been laid upon which any type of train has rolled, and no one can with a straight face give a date when that might happen... Calif return the 3 billion tax money the govenment gave you. Or did you already spend it.

{westernjournal.com} ~ The urgency to have a wall built at the border may not seem like a crisis for some, but for those living close to the border, the crisis is all too real... One such person is Kari Wade, who, with her family, owns a ranch just 50 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. The border rancher recently responded to a Facebook  comment when someone asked, “Where’s the fire” in regards to the urgency of President Trump to build the wall at the U.S.-Mexico border. Her response to the comment has now gone viral. Wade responded to the comment with her own post saying, “Let me tell you where the fire is: The ‘fire’ is finding dead bodies on your ranch.” “The ‘fire’ is having to come home after dark and have to carry a rifle to go feed your livestock after BP tells you that they only caught 9 of the 15 they are looking for,” she added. She goes on to give several other examples of how illegal immigration has impacted her and her family while living close to the border...

{theintercept.com} ~ When Hop-Hop radio host Charlamagne that God asked Sens. scumbag-Cory Booker and lowlife-Kamala Harris if they had a “specific agenda” for black Americans on his show, “The Breakfast Club,” earlier this month, it was clear that neither did... “I have a specific agenda for the American people,” started scumbag-Booker. But for Charlamagne, and many other black Americans, a generalized American agenda isn’t a substitute for a plan that specifically addresses the needs of black folks. “They always say a rising tide lifts all boats,” Charlamagne interrupted, “but we don’t really see that in our communities.” Charlamagne elaborated on this idea during his interview with lowlife-Harris: “I think when it comes to black people in America, Democrats, for whatever reason, when you ask them … usually we get that whole ‘rising tides raise all boats’ or ‘all Americans’ rhetoric, and I think black people just want to hear specific things for them, and I always wonder, ‘Why are people afraid to say what they would specifically do for black people?’” The desire expressed by Charlamagne is understandable and legitimate. After committing overwhelmingly to the Democratic Party for decades, black Americans have seen the racial wealth gap widen, not shrink. As a result, some are increasingly skeptical of the value of programs that aren’t narrowly tailored to accrue to our  benefit...  https://theintercept.com/2019/02/20/2020-candidates-reparations/?utm_source=The+Intercept+Newsletter&utm_campaign=378c165db8-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_02_23&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e00a5122d3-378c165db8-131896129

Iran: Mounting Persecution of Christians

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The persecution of Christians in Iran in 2018 increased to a new level, according to an in-depth report jointly released by Open Doors, Middle East Concern, Article 18, and Christian Solidarity Worldwide... "The end of 2018 saw an unprecedented wave of raids on private house gatherings, leading to a large number of arrests. Many Christians received prison sentences, or had sentences upheld by the Court of Appeal," noted the report. Despite this roaring abuse, and violations and attacks against Christians being significantly  ratcheted up, the international community continues to label the Iranian government, run by President Hassan Rouhani, as "moderate. What is puzzling is that while the Iranian authorities boast that Christians and other religious minorities are treated fairly under Islam, the Iranian regime is, in fact, increasingly targeting Christians solely for daring peacefully to practice their faith. Even though these actions are frequently  documented, their claims do not match up with the ever-increasing numbers of arrests and punishments suffered by those practicing a religion other than Islam. For example, in a single recent week, more than 100 Christians were arrested. There was also an unprecedented "surge during November and December 2018 as arrests were reported in the cities of Ahvaz, Chalus, Damavand, Hamedan, Hashtgerd, Karaj, Mashhad, Rasht, Shahinshahr and Tehran. In one week alone, one hundred and fourteen Christians were reported to have been arrested."...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/13757/iran-persecution-christians

SCOTUS: States Subject to Limits on 
Seizure, Too
0l8hadFWKmIk5PcJV9ixKtJSGcdOG8nw8d4-3fJnzr0unmQIdhMihY7wlB3ykqN2D6awIAyapix9g3ArSSfMnX00VXdiNoUEUf1r1Nw77le2M1IB6vENwIaItAH33cXzszxHSL05oBqMglwcTExa4usE3ikRm9NV5lxmN_k=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
by Michael Swartz:  While numerous high-profile Supreme Court cases have been decided by the narrowest of 5-4 margins, every so often there comes a slam-dunk case so egregious that the High Court’s right and left wings unite. In this case, all but two concurred with an opinion written by … Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We’ll return to the reasoning for the concurring but different opinions of justices Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas a little later.

At question in the case of Timbs v. Indiana: How far is too far when it comes to asset forfeiture by authorities? As the Ginsburg opinion queried: “Is the Eighth Amendment’s Excessive Fines Clause an ‘incorporated’ protection applicable to the States under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause? Like the Eighth Amendment’s proscriptions of ‘cruel and unusual punishment’ and ‘[e]xcessive bail,’ the protection against excessive fines guards against abuses of government’s punitive or criminal law-enforcement authority.”

The case stemmed from the 2015 arrest of Indiana resident Tyson Timbs, who eventually pleaded guilty to selling heroin to an undercover police officer. While Timbs was sentenced to house arrest and five years’ probation, the state also seized a 2012 Land Rover Timbs had purchased with proceeds from his late grandfather’s life insurance policy. The car, valued at $42,000, was worth over quadruple what the maximum fine for the offense would have been, and that disparity was ruled by two lower Indiana state courts to be excessive.

However, the state appealed to the Indiana Supreme Court, and it overruled the lower courts on their belief that the prohibition on excessive fines found in the Constitution only applied to the federal government — thus, the state of Indiana was within its rights under forfeiture law to seize Timbs’ asset despite it not having been purchased with illegally obtained funds. They argued that, since Timbs had transported the heroin with the car, it was fair game for seizure.

But the state’s case before the Supreme Court was weak from the start, leaving the solicitor general to defend a hypothetical seizure of a luxury car for the offense of driving five miles an hour over the speed limit. Thus, a 9-0 whitewash wasn’t really a surprise.

While both Gorsuch and Thomas agreed with the final decision, Gorsuch added a one-page concurrence that considered whether the case should have been decided based on the Privileges or Immunities Clause rather than by the Due Process clause. Thomas took the point further, writing his own separate opinion that harshly criticized the “due process” logic:

Because the oxymoronic “substantive” “due process” doctrine has no basis in the Constitution, it is unsurprising that the Court has been unable to adhere to any “guiding principle to distinguish ‘fundamental’ rights that warrant protection from nonfundamental rights that do not.” … And because the Court’s substantive due process precedents allow the Court to fashion fundamental rights without any textual constraints, it is equally unsurprising that among these precedents are some of the Court’s most notoriously incorrect decisions … [including] Roe v. Wade[and] Dred Scott v. Sandford.

Thomas’s concurrence, which provides much of the second half of the 26-page opinion, provides a good history lesson on the evolution of law against excessive fines.

Not only was Justice Thomas’s concern regarding proper precedent not answered completely, but as the Wall Street  Journal editorial board pointed out, the Timbs decision also left as a mystery just how outrageous a fine had to be to merit consideration as “excessive.” Surely — and unfortunately — this question will be left to play out in the legal system over the coming years.

The battle over excessive fines, though, is only a small part in the tug-of-war that has pitted law-and-order prosecutors who believe asset forfeiture is a deterrent to crime against civil libertarians who believe it’s a “gigantic law-enforcement scam,” with seizures of significant assets possible under the most circumstantial of evidence.

As our own Arnold Ahlert wrote in 2017, it’s “a process whereby government can seize property and cash they suspect is related to the commission of a crime” [emphasis added]. Note the word “suspect,” which is far different than the word “prove.” Unfortunately, the burden of proof in forfeiture cases is placed on the accused, who have to fight the unlimited resources of the government in order to reclaim what is legally theirs.

Tyson Timbs certainly doesn’t fit the profile of a hero, but he dared to make a stand against government overreach and scored a rare victory. Let’s hope it brings new awareness to the frequent abuses of a system that was supposed to ensure crime didn’t pay but instead became a cash cow for local and state governments.  ~The Patriot Post

“A federal judge in Texas has declared that an all-male military draft is unconstitutional, ruling that ‘the time has passed’ for a debate on whether women belong in the military,” USA Today  reports.

The 56-year-old Craft has been ambassador to Canada since October 2017. She previously served as an alternate delegate to the U.N. during the George W. Bush administration.

Via The Daily Wire: “On Friday, Sen.

According to Kentucky State University professor Wilfred Reilly, “Hate crime hoaxes, like Jussie Smollett’s alleged attack, are more common than you think.” He adds, “Doing research for a book, Hate Crime Hoax, I was able to easily put together a data set of 409 confirmed hate hoaxes. An overlapping but substantially different list of 348 hoaxes exists at fakehatecrimes.org, and researcher Laird Wilcox put together another list of at least 300 in his still-contemporary book Crying Wolf. To put these numbers in context, a little over 7,000 hate crimes were reported by the FBI in 2017 and perhaps 8-10% of these are widely reported enough to catch the eye of a national researcher.” (USA Today)

“The Motion Picture Association of America officially gave the upcoming abortion film ‘Unplanned’ an ‘R’ rating Friday for ‘some disturbing/bloody images’ of aborted babies,” The Daily Caller  reveals. “Movies are rated R for profanity, nudity, sex, or violence. ‘Unplanned’ contains no profanity, nudity, or sex. ‘Ironically, the MPAA seems to be indirectly endorsing the pro-life position: namely that abortion is an act of violence,’ writers and directors Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman told Movieguide.”

“An Idaho couple claims Planned Parenthood ‘deceived’ them after a failed abortion — and is asking the agency to cough up the unforeseen cost of raising ‘an additional unplanned child,’” according to Fox News. “Biana Coons … traveled 700 miles with her partner, Cristobal Ruiz, to a Planned Parenthood in Albuquerque, New Mexico in February 2016 to avoid the mandatory waiting period in her home state. The couple, which already had two children, didn’t want another one. But the drug-induced abortion, known as the abortion pill, ultimately failed to end the pre-born child’s life and the couple, in ‘extreme poverty,’ could not afford a follow-up procedure.”

Government report reveals CBO was
scandalously off in scumbag/liar-
nObamacare estimates
by Philip Klein

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ A new report from government actuaries has revealed that the Congressional Budget Office was scandalously off in its estimates of the impact of scumbag/liar-nObamacare's individual mandate... a miscalculation that has had significant ramifications for healthcare and tax policy over the past decade. CBO estimates about the importance of an individual mandate to a national healthcare scheme prodded President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama into including the unpopular provision into the law in the first place. The mandate projections also played a key role in President Trump's two major legislative initiatives. The fact that the CBO assumed 14 million could lose coverage mainly due to the elimination of mandate penalties helped kill the effort to repeal and replace scumbag/liar-nObamacare, while its later assumption that 13 million fewer insured individuals would mean less spending on subsidies from the federal government helped get the 2017 Republican tax cut across the finish line by improving the budgetary math. Yet those incredibly influential estimates now appear to have been wildly off. In what was literally a footnote in its annual report on national health spending projections, actuaries for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on Wednesday estimated that the elimination of the individual mandate would have a significantly smaller impact than the CBO has long estimated. Specifically, the CMS report revealed that 2.5 million more people would go without insurance in 2019 due to the repeal of the individual mandate's penalties, and the impact would be "smaller" thereafter. When scumbag/liar-nObamacare was being debated in 2009, CBO and other outside experts believed that the mandate was a necessary tool for convincing younger and healthier individuals to purchase insurance to offset the cost of covering older and sicker enrollees in any kind of national healthcare scheme. So important was the mandate to CBO's analysis that scumbag/liar-nObama was forced to embrace the idea, even though he opposed it during the 2008 campaign and it made the legislation less popular. It also would eventually imperil the whole law at the Supreme Court...

by wnd.com:   Remember, before the Jussie Smollett scandal, the controversy over New York’s new state law allowing abortion up until birth? And Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s defense of infanticide?... Now Vermont, with Democrats in the majority, has gone further, and talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh is warning that the Democratic Party is “becoming sick, and it’s getting sicker by the day.”  “‘Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up,’ the new theme song of the Democrat Party. ‘Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up,’ not to be cowboys or anything,” he said. “I’m telling you, folks, you want to find out – you want to know – why there’s rampant crime? You want to know why inexplicable deterioration is happening to our culture? Look no further than this kind of thinking.” Limbaugh decried the “wanton devaluing of life and the total loss of the appreciation for the sanctity of life and for the miracle of life.” “To just casually be able to discard this? By a political party? You don’t think that has deleterious, dramatically destructive impacts on society at large? Thirteen-year-olds are shooting 10-year-olds and people are asking themselves, ‘How can this happen?’ Look no further than stuff like this,” he said. “If life is cheap, if life is not special, if life doesn’t have anything noteworthy about it, then nobody is going to have any appreciation for it at any stage of it. My God, this is Satanic! This is just – and they pass these bills and they end up applauding and whooping it up, and I still maintain that one of the primary reasons for that is that they are celebrating victory over us, that they are just loving cramming it down our throats. They love getting in our face and telling us to go to hell, and this is one of the ways in which they’re doing it.”... And people continue to vote them into office.

CBS Reporter Lara Logan Blows the Lid Off 
Liberal Bias in the Media…Then Gets Fired for It

by americanlibertyreport.com:   South African news correspondent and investigative journalist Lara Logan told an inconvenient truth in a recent interview. During a 3 hour podcast with Breitbart’s Mike Ritland... the “60 Minutes” correspondent brought up the fact that the majority of the mainstream media outlets skew liberal, put out biased news and most journalists are registered Democrats. In a confession-like interview that she called “professional suicide,” the tough-as-nails reporter was summarily released by CBS, where she had worked as the network’s chief foreign affairs correspondent since 2006. During that and subsequent interviews, Logan spoke candidly that much of the media is liberally biased and that posed an imminent problem in terms of journalistic ethics and accuracy. She suggested that today’s news consumers are tasked with getting information from both sides when searching for facts. Over the years, she earned a reputation for fearless reporting while embedded in troops in Afghanistan and Iraq during the War on Terror. She was also prone to going rogue and seeking out information in dangerous locales. She suffered an attack and sexual assault while reporting on the removal of then-Egyptian Pres. Hosni Mubarak and spent four days in the hospital recovering. Following the Benghazi Attacks, a “60 Minutes” segment she pieced together differed from the FBI and scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton State Department’s official version. She was forced to apologize when a source recanted parts of his story. But her candid remarks on the subject put her in the scumbag/liar-Clinton machine crosshairs. “I made one comment about Benghazi,” Logan reportedly said. “I was targeted by Media Matters for America, which was an organization established by David Brock, who has dedicated himself to the scumbag/liar-Clintons. It was their known propaganda organization.”... Hire her Fox News.

U.S. Supreme Court Rules Unanimously 
That States Cannot Impose Excessive Fines

{ij.org} ~ In an historic ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court this morning held that the Excessive Fines Clause of the Eighth Amendment protects Americans not just against the federal government, but against states and local authorities too... No matter which state you live in, every level of government must now abide by the federal Constitution’s guarantee that property owners will be safe from excessive fines and forfeitures. “The historical and logical case for concluding that the Fourteenth Amendment incorporates the Excessive Fines Clause,” wrote Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg for the Court, “is overwhelming.” Indiana resident Tyson Timbs is at the center of this legal fight. His road to the U.S. Supreme Court began shortly after his father died, when he received more than $70,000 in life-insurance proceeds and bought a new car. For years, Tyson had struggled with drug addiction; a painkiller prescription had escalated to heroin abuse. Soon after buying his new car, Tyson sold four grams of heroin to fund his addiction. The purchasers were undercover officers, and police arrested Tyson. They seized his car too. Tyson pleaded guilty to one count of drug dealing, which led to house arrest, then probation, and $1,200 in related fees. Most importantly, the arrest was a wake-up call for Tyson. He got his life back on track, holding down a job and taking steps to battle his addiction...  https://ij.org/press-release/u-s-supreme-court-rules-unanimously-that-states-cannot-impose-excessive-fines/?utm_source=heritagefoundation&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=theinsider&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTURaak1qQTJOVGRsT0RSaSIsInQiOiJCMlE2OGYrd0wyOU4wTUErYTlvKzg4QjA2WkhlZVNmVUgwU2JaM3FrSXIrK2FudEE4VUMzc2gxcHRmckp4YmJGYnpOdSt1NVBvZkxKT1h4MVwveHhDbUFjUzRNOEZKejAzZVd0VTc2YXkwNGRGWE9LZVgwWmRZdjVsQWFTZ2xEYVEifQ%3D%3D

ISIS Bride Hoda Muthana: Birthright Citizenship?
XV4IS2apkGPdnjjsM5SDK4xxVCUq4LufIGpPLZ-nBab4x2wC4wLPZGiHxvwWV5RPvkXDQ1Mq_qr3D-HlZJ48-g_PblcK6GVZ4ZnJIiD5SqryFdTYXLV-g_hzzxIqL-ts65BtCTjHRK1rcR-Wuz13U2cJs83KkWFAs5GrD44=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
by Mark Alexander:  Hoda Muthana, the daughter of a foreign diplomat, was born in the United States in 1994. Her father, Ahmed Ali Muthana, who subsequently became a U.S. citizen the old-fashioned way — legally — was formerly a Yemeni diplomat. Four years ago, Hoda left the U.S. to join with Islamic State fighters in Syria.

She married an ISIS terrorist and supported the jihadis’ brutal slaughter of innocent men, women, and children. Now that ISIS is nearing defeat (not to suggest its ideology will ever be defeated), Hoda has decided that maybe Alabama would be a better place to raise her son than the ruins of a Syrian desert.

This is setting up a legal battle that may shed some light on who is and, more importantly, who is not entitled to U.S. citizenship.

On 16 February, Donald Trump said, “The United States is asking Britain, France, Germany and other European allies to take back over 800 ISIS fighters,” in order that they be tried as terrorists and held accountable for their crimes against humanity. But in Hoda’s case, Trump says, “I have instructed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and he fully agrees, not to allow Hoda Muthana back into the Country.”

According to Secretary Pompeo, “She may have been born here but she is not a U.S. citizen, nor is she entitled to U.S. citizenship.” He insists Hoda “will not be admitted into the United States,” because “she does not have any legal basis, no valid U.S. passport, no right to a passport, nor any visa to travel to the United States.”

The administration is arguing that Hoda is subject to the “diplomatic blue list” rule, which excludes her from any right to citizenship because her father was a diplomat at the time of her birth. According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services guidelines, children not born to parents who were “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States,” as stipulated in the 14th Amendment, including diplomats, are not entitled to citizenship.

Hoda’s father is now suing the government for repatriation of his daughter, arguing that he had been discharged from his diplomatic status by the time of her birth. He also says she was issued a U.S. passport in 2004, which could well have been a bureaucratic error. Muthana and his wife were here legally at the time of Hoda’s birth, but not as diplomats and, thus, she is not subject to the diplomat exclusion.

This case sets up what could be a consequential legal battle over the issue of so-called “birthright citizenship,” which has never been established as a “right” but rather an assumption. In this case, it will bring into focus the question of whether children born to those legally in the United States have a right to citizenship, at a time when there is an assumption of “birthright citizenship” for those born to parents illegally in our country.

As I have previously thoroughly documented in regard to “birthright citizenship,” the plain language of our Constitution’s  14th Amendment has been contorted by leftist Democrat Party leaders to comport with their contemporary political agenda. This contortion exercise is consistent with their insistence that the Rule of Law enshrined in our Constitution is subordinate to their errant notion of a “living constitution” that means whatever they want it to mean.

The 14th Amendment does not establish a right to citizenship for those born here to illegal aliens, because their parents were not  “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.” Will this case finally provide that clarification?

And a footnote for all those advocating incarceration at Gitmo – please no! I do not want my tax dollars supporter this millennial ISIS wannabe.

Both Houses Of Congress Are Violating Their Oath Of Office

Posted by Eric Pearson on February 25, 2019 at 10:15am

Both Houses Of Congress Are Violating Their Oath Of Office.

It doesn’t take a genius to see we’re traveling at breakneck speed down a road towards tyranny. The scales could be tipped back somewhat if the public had awareness that the oath has teeth and voiced expectation that it be taken seriously. If not, the alternative maybe held in the words of Thomas Jefferson, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”

Kelly Craft will be the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, President Trump announced Friday. Craft has served as ambassador to Canada. “Kelly has done an outstanding job representing our Nation and I have no doubt that, under her leadership... our Country will be represented at the highest level,” Trump said in a tweet. The position was left vacant last year by Nikki Haley, who stepped down after two years as one of the nation’s top diplomats. Trump said he planned to nominate State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert in December, but her nomination was never officially sent to the Senate for a confirmation vote. She withdrew her name from consideration earlier this month over her employment of a nanny who was in the U.S. legally but not was legally allowed to work. Nauert was the State Department spokeswoman since April 2017 and is not expected to return to her role there.

{godfatherpolitics.com} ~ With all the talk of President Donald Trump’s border wall being built and Democrats saying it won’t, the government has just announced that some border wall construction has already started... The U.S. Customs and Border Protection noted on Tuesday that work has started on new barriers at the U.S. border with Mexico in San Diego, California. New wall construction in California… that sure must stick in the Democrats’ craw! According to the Associated press, the government is replacing 14 miles of fencing in San Diego with 30-foot high steel bollards. “It is the second layer of barrier in San Diego. Work on replacing the first layer is nearly complete, which is also 14 miles long and made of steel bollards up to 30 feet high,” the AP added. The construction began only three days after President Trump declared a national emergency on our southern border...

{freebeacon.com} ~ Okere, a Democratic candidate for Chicago city council, said Thursday he believes democratic socialism should have total control over how people live... In a Thursday interview with the left-wing  Jacobin, Okere was asked to define democratic socialism, and he gave a remarkably expansive answer. "Democratic socialism, to me, is about democratic control of every single facet of our life," he said. "Government is led by the people, not by big corporations, not by multibillionaires, and working people actually have control over who we elect to be our politicians, over how elections work, and over how our government is structured. People have the power." Okere went on to say he believes socialism should guide a society's entire course, not just its political structures: Democratic socialism even extends to our relationships and how we treat each other. It looks at the world through a socialist-feminist lens, in how we treat people who are black, who are brown, who are femme, who are non-binary, who are gender-nonconforming, and who are working class... How much more stupid can you get.  https://freebeacon.com/politics/chicago-dem-wants-socialism-to-have-control-of-every-single-facet-of-our-life/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=7020bb32c8-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_03_19_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-7020bb32c8-45611665

Iran faces a long road before using 
blockchain to evade US sanctions
by Yaya J. Fanusie

{thehill.com} ~ The Islamic Republic of Iran has a long way to go before it’s ready to launch a national cryptocurrency. Tehran’s central bank has that ambition, but the effort remains at the experimental stage... Some recent media reports  claim that Iran has “launched” a state cryptocurrency based on gold called the Peyman. What really is happening, however, is less dramatic. It has few immediate implications for Iranian sanctions evasion, but does signal Iran’s strategic intent to use blockchain technology to develop long-term sanctions resistance. Iran’s finance and technology sectors are teaming up to pilot a cryptocurrency platform that would give Iranian banks new ways to represent and transfer financial assets. At the Central Bank of Iran’s Eighth Annual Electronic Payments and Banking Systems Conference in late January, the head of Iranian tech startup Kuknos  presented plans for four Iranian banks to use his company’s cryptocurrency platform to convert bank assets into security tokens. This involves representing ownership shares of traditionally illiquid assets like real estate or debt equity onto a blockchain so that such shares could be traded and transferred more easily. Of the four banks involved — Parsian Bank, Bank Pasargad, Bank Melli Iran and Bank Mellat — all but Pasargad are currently under U.S. sanctions. The banks themselves have funded Kuknos to develop this project. However, the central bank also reported at the conference that it currently is testing five different cryptocurrency models. The Peyman is the first of several Iranian cryptocurrencies that may get unveiled in the coming year. It is not a new “crypto-rial.” The Peyman pilot project is led by the tech sector with buy-in from some banks. Iran’s central bank in July 2018 announced that it planned to issue a sovereign cryptocurrency to be used initially by domestic banks and that various companies were working out the kinks for such an endeavor. The Kuknos team is marketing its platform to government officials and apparently is gaining some traction. Last week, Kuknos signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran’s department of Science and Technology to develop a distributed ledger technology innovation center focused on capital markets...

by Culture Beat:  What passes for higher education these days should leave one questioning if one has entered an episode of “The Twilight Zone.” It’s no secret that American academic institutions have been increasingly overrun with leftist professors in recent decades. However, what this glut of one-sided perspectives has been promoting as education is anything but. It would be more accurate to describe America’s institutions of high “learning” as leftist indoctrination centers, where only progressive group-think is espoused or often even allowed.

Young America’s Foundation recently released its annual list of available college courses it calls “Comedy & Tragedy,” which provide “an overview of the most egregious” examples of leftist bias on American campuses.

For example, students can enroll in the following:

  • ENGL 277: Gender in Gaming (University of Illinois)

  • WOMENSTD 434: Eco/Queer/Feminist Art Practices (University of Michigan)

  • AFAMST 339: Unsettling Whiteness (Northwestern University)

  • RELG 032: Queering God: Feminist and Queer Theology (Swarthmore College)

  • AMST 0325: American Misogyny (Middlebury College)

  • FRS 139: Marx in the 21st Century (Princeton University)

  • GWS 142: Queering Childhood (Pomona College)

  • SOCI 460: Global Capitalism and Racism (University of Tennessee)

  • GNSS 1961: Humanity or Nah? Blackness, Gender, Resistance, and Memory in Monuments, Maps, and Archives (Brown University)

As The Federalist’s Spencer Brown observes, “It’s no wonder figures like commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rocketed straight out of liberal institutions and onto the national stage with proposals like the Green New Deal — they’re doing exactly as they were taught.”  ~The Patriot Post

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The Trump administration posted a final rule Friday that would require family planning clinics to be housed in separate buildings from abortion clinics, a move that would cut off Planned Parenthood from some federal funding... The rule applies to a $286 million-a-year grant, known as Title X, that pays for birth control, testing of sexually transmitted diseases, and cancer screenings for 4 million low-income people. It requires the "physical and financial" separation of family planning services and abortion. Federal funds are not permitted to go toward abortions except in the cases of rape, incest, or if a woman's pregnancy threatens her life. Abortion foes, however, have long fought for rules along the lines of the one advanced Friday because they say allocating federal funds toward clinics such as Planned Parenthood frees up additional funds to provide abortions. The organization receives between $50 million and $60 million from Title X. Planned Parenthood vowed to do everything it could to fight back, including through the courts. “Planned Parenthood will fight the Trump-Pence administration through every avenue so this illegal, unethical rule never goes into effect,” said Dr. Leana Wen, Planned Parenthood's president, speaking to reporters on a press call. The organization said the requirements would force its facilities to build separate entrances and exits, construct new health centers, or hire a second staff of doctors, nurses, and administrative staff...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthcare/trump-administration-moves-to-cut-off-some-planned-parenthood-funding?utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_02/22/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News

{dailycaller.com} ~ Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials claim a deadly shootout between an illegal immigrant and a sheriff’s deputy could have been prevented... if California sanctuary laws allowed them to do their job. A deadly shootout on Sunday took place between a cop and a Mexican national. During a routine traffic stop in Napa County, California, Javier Hernandez Morales, 48,  attempted to shoot Napa County Sheriff’s Deputy Riley Jarecki. Jarecki was able to maneuver away and return fire, killing Hernandez Morales at the scene. Footage of the shootout was captured on the deputy sheriff’s body camera. Hernandez Morales, who had been living in the U.S. illegally, was no stranger to law enforcement. He had been deported back to his home country of Mexico twice in 2007 and once more in 2010. However, since that time, local law enforcement officials refused to work with ICE on deporting him again, despite various crimes. ICE lodged four different detainers for Hernandez Morales relating to battery of a peace officer, suspicion of driving while intoxicated, selling liquor to a minor and probation violations. The detainers, according to ICE, were sent to Napa County Jail in 2014, 2015 and 2016, and anther was issued to Sonoma County Jail in 2016. Staff honored none of the detainers, allowing Hernandez Morales to leave the county jails and remain in the U.S. ... Why are people so stupid.

by algemeiner.com:   The American Jewish Committee (AJC) on Friday gave a warm endorsement of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s decision earlier this week to clean and protect the historic Jewish Bassatine Cemetery in Cairo... and to make available the country’s Jewish Communal Registers. A statement from AJC noted that the global advocacy organization had “long called for these and other measures to preserve the heritage of the Egyptian Jewish community, which once numbered more than 80,000 and today is estimated to be fewer than 20.” “Egypt’s commitment to preserve Jewish sites and records is vitally important,” said Rabbi Andrew Baker, AJC Director of International Jewish Affairs, who has visited Cairo regularly to meet with government officials. Bassatine Cemetery, which dates to the ninth century, contains thousands of Jewish graves. Neglected for years, most of the inscribed headstones have been looted and squatter’s apartments cover much of the original site. Broken walls leave it unprotected, and garbage is strewn throughout the cemetery. The cemetery is the only remaining Jewish gravesite that remains in Cairo and is Egypt’s largest...

Amazon Illuminates the Democrat Party Divide
3RX419FnvTMDTzKusfIkdnjH7nZ-oIlRzflf9jtgOKFVyzI7AHhMFNMDYsjrYgrOYV70SkB1TtSdUoXqa0n1RI9jpMiunLHppeOMhmRX4nzfLfWcHksqiTulwRpjFU4oTMQrMRTt6wrl3ObDBhKiBLZ4hwzqwnS_1BTRNSc=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
by Arnold Ahlert:  If one likes a salad of ignorance, arrogance, hypocrisy, cronyism, and the burgeoning divide between Democrat Party radicals and uber radicals, Amazon’s decision to abandon New York City is just the ticket.

We begin with ignorance and arrogance. America is now enduring at least two generations poisoned by an education system whose primary mission has been to convince them to hold their own nation — and the economic system that produced more wealth than any other in the history of mankind — in contempt.

Their poster child is commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the freshman representative and media darling now in approximately the 14th minute of her 15 minutes of fame. No one is happier that Amazon decamped, and she took to Twitter to let her 2.7 million followers know exactly where she stood. “Anything is possible: today was the day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon’s corporate greed, its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world,” she tweeted.

A couple of “inconvenient” realities intrude. First, according to a Siena College Research Institute poll, state voters backed the project by a 56% to 36% margin. As for worker “exploitation,” Amazon noted in November that salaries for those workers would have averaged over $150,000. For perspective’s sake, it should be noted that median household income hit a record high in 2017 — reaching $61,372. Moreover, there would have been a lot of jobs: Amazon promised to create 25,000 of them.

So what was the problem? This is where hypocrisy gets added to the mix. Despite the corporate giant’s promise to generate $27.5 billion in tax revenue over the next 25 years, Gov. Andrew evil-Cuomo, heartily supported by Mayor Bill de Blasio, promised Amazon $3 billion in taxpayer-funded subsidies to move to Long Island City in Queens. The original deal was for $2.5 billion in subsidies, with an additional $505 million if Amazon increased its job-creation count to 40,000 by 2034.

Tax subsidies for the richest man in the world? In a city and state where “soak the rich” is tantamount to gospel, the utter hypocrisy of using corporate welfare as an enticement is impossible to ignore. If lower-tax climates are attractive sometimes, why aren’t they attractive at all times — and for all businesses?

Government “picking winners and losers” is also the essence of crony capitalism, and no one illuminates it better than Nancy Bass-Wyden. She owns Strand Books, a business that has served New Yorkers since 1927. The same city that bent over backwards to help her giant competitor is poised to designate her bookstore a New York City landmark, a move Bass-Wyden insists could kill her business due to the restrictions and regulations attached to the designation. “Unlike Amazon, we have never asked for taxpayer-funded subsidies, tax breaks or special favors,” Wyden said. “All we want to do is to be left alone!”

Yet while hypocrisy is front and center, and provides commie-Ocasio-Cortez and her fan base with a legitimate argument, ignorance remains the order of the day. “If we were willing to give away $3 billion for this deal, we could invest $3 billion in our district ourselves if we want to,” AOC asserted. “We could hire more teachers.”

Uh, no. As columnist Allan Golombek is forced to explain, AOC and her followers believe “they have suddenly happened upon a stash of money, as though they found $3 billion under the couch cushion — miracle money that can now be spent on hospitals, schools and decaying subway lines.” The reality? “Rather than handing over a direct grant, [New York state and city] governments would simply forgive some taxes that otherwise wouldn’t be owed to them by anyone,” Golombek adds. “The end of the Amazon deal does not free up a horde of cash for the state and local governments, because they have no extra cash to free up.”

That’s an understatement. As New Yorkers learned recently, the state is facing a $2.3 billion budget deficit. Why? Gov. evil-Cuomo insists the 2017 GOP tax cut, placing a $10,000 cap on state and local taxes one can deduct from one’s federal tax burden, is the culprit. In other words, while ordinary New Yorkers were getting a tax break, the rich have been saddled with higher taxes. The very same higher taxes on the rich that Democrats all over the nation insist is the cure for all of our fiscal woes.

Unfortunately, reality bites. “Tax the rich, tax the rich, tax the rich. The rich leave, and now what do you do?” evil-Cuomo wonders.

The one thing blue states absolutely refuse to do: lower the overall tax rate — by lowering obscene levels of government spending.

How obscene? Last year New York state spent $153.1 billion to serve a population of 19.5 million people. By contrast, Florida — a state with no income tax — passed an $88.7 billion budget for fiscal year 2018-19 to serve 21.3 million people.

How can New York afford to spend 42% more money to service a population of 1.8 million fewer people? By treating wealthy New Yorkers like ATM machines. Hence, the rich leave New York — and, unsurprisingly, many of them go to Florida.

Nonetheless, the true believers remain unfazed by Amazon’s departure. “For decades, local politicians have felt pressure on only one side of this issue: To do whatever it takes to attract companies,” asserts New York Times columnist David Leonhardt. “As a result, those politicians have contributed, often unwittingly, to the radical rise in economic inequality. Amazon’s messy departure from New York is a victory for the other side.”

Which side is that? “The city has the country’s second-highest income tax, and Mr. de Blasio last month proposed that all private employers be required to provide workers two weeks of paid vacation each year,” The Wall Street Journal reports. “That’s on top of paid family leave. Animus toward business represses the organic investment and job growth that make a dynamic economy.”

Animus toward business is rapidly becoming a central plank of the Democrat Party’s agenda. Job-killing government regulation  skyrocketed under the scumbag/liar-nObama administration, all while Democrats were asserting 2% economic growth was the “new normal.” That a 2014 National Association of Manufacturers report revealed regulatory costs on all businesses exceed $2 trillion — per year? Regulations that disproportionately affect small businesses? Small businesses that create a greater percentage of jobs than big businesses do?

Anyone think that contributes to the radical rise in economic inequality — without an iota of unwittingness attached to it?

Democrats are on the cusp of a civil war between politicians like evil-Cuomo and de Blasio, who see the future returns fueled by incentives as a net plus for their overtaxed state and city, and purists like commie-Ocasio-Cortez and Elizabeth dinky-Warren, who will accept nothing less than outright socialist/Marxist-inspired wealth confiscation, even if it kills the economy.

And while that divide is real, it’s only about one thing: how fast Democrats run out of other peoples’ money to spend.

Neither side engendered a business climate Amazon could abide.

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The House will vote Tuesday on a joint resolution that would prevent President Trump from using a national emergency declaration to shift federal funding to the construction of a southern border wall... House Speaker Nancy Pulosi, D-Calif., announced the schedule in a conference call Friday. “The president is not above the law in any way, and this action he is taking is circumventing the Constitution of the United States and does violence to it,” Pulosi said. The resolution was introduced by Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, on Friday and has 227 co-sponsors. Only one of them is a Republican. “What’s really important is how they will vote on Tuesday when the legislation comes to the floor,” Pulosi said. “We will pass the resolution in the House and send it over to the Senate,” Pulosi said. The Senate must take op the measure within 15 days of House passage... Pulosi is wrong about the presidents authority. Which Congress gave to other presidents.  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress/house-will-vote-tuesday-to-block-trump-wall-funding-grab?utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_02/22/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News

{timesofisrael.com} ~ Liftoff happened exactly on schedule at 3:45 a.m. Israel time, prompting a raucous cheer from the cafeteria at Israel Aerospace Industries... where 500 employees and their families gathered to watch the launch of Israel’s historic lunar mission. Israel hopes to become the fourth country in the world to land a spacecraft on the moon, with the launch of the unmanned spacecraft Beresheet from Florida’s Cape Canaveral on Friday. If successful, the 160-kilogram 350 pounds without fuel, four-legged spacecraft, about the size of a car, will also be the smallest and cheapest spacecraft to land on the moon. But after the initial cheer, the room fell silent, engineers holding their breaths as the rocket escaped the earth’s atmosphere and reached an altitude of approximately 69,000 km (42,000 miles). At 4:23 a.m., another cheer went up as the command center in Yehud, where Israel Aerospace Industries is headquartered, received the first data from Beresheet as the spacecraft prepared to separate from the rocket. At 4:25 a.m., Beresheet separated from the Falcon 9 rocket that launched it into space, successfully deploying its landing legs in the first test of its ability to function under its own power. The spacecraft will now travel about for seven weeks before reaching the moon on April 11...   https://www.timesofisrael.com/shooting-for-the-moon-engineers-cheer-successful-launch-of-beresheet/?utm_source=The+Daily+Edition&utm_campaign=daily-edition-2019-02-22&utm_medium=email

Arkansas governor signs 'trigger'
abortion ban bill
by Morgan Gstalter
{thehill.com} ~ Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) on Tuesday signed into a law a measure that would automatically ban abortion if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns its 1973 landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion nationwide... Hutchinson’s office said the governor signed the legislation, making it the fifth state with the so-called triggered abortion ban bill, The Associated Press reported. The bills hinge on the belief that a more conservative Supreme Court could overturn its 46-year-old decision and return authority to legalize abortion to the states. The law bans most abortions except for medical emergencies if the country’s highest court were to overturn its previous decision. The state currently outlaws abortion 20 weeks into a pregnancy. Exceptions would not be allowed in cases of rape or incest, KUAR reported. The legislation was passed in the Republican-controlled state legislature last week. Louisiana, Mississippi, North Dakota and South Dakota have similar “trigger” bans on the books. A similar measure has recently been introduced in Kentucky and Tennessee.
liberal-Oregon lawmakers seek to lower
voting age in state to 16, so teens can
‘protect their future’

bygopusa.com:  Children are our future — and a group of liberal-Oregon lawmakers wants the future to be now. They’re pushing a bill that would amend liberal-Oregon’s constitution to lower the voting age in the state from 18 to 16... They hope to put it before voters in 2020. Younger liberal-Oregonians should have “a chance to participate in the ballot — about decisions that affect their homes, their clean air, their future, their schools and, as we’ve seen, their very lives,” Democratic state Sen. Shemia Fagan said at a Monday press conference announcing the measure. Teens are “begging us to take action to protect their future,” she added. OPB reported that she referenced the student activists from Parkland, Florida, who launched the “Never Again” movement in the wake of the 2018 mass shooting at their high school. Several liberal-Oregon student activists spoke at the press conference about why they deserved the right to vote before age 18. “We need to be able to take our work to the ballot and protect the policies we’re working so hard to pass,” South Salem High School senior Maria Torres said. Pressing issues affecting young people have brought the voting age down before. It used to be 21 before the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1971, lowered it to 18. The amendment was fueled in part by teen. I was just in H.S. and my thoughts were not into politics. http://www.gopusa.com/?p=65355?omhide=true

{pjmedia.com} ~ One of the biggest questions for Western governments that has played out in recent days in the American media is what to do with Western ISIS recruits who are now in the custody of U.S. ... backed forces as the Islamic State's geographical military  presence collapses into nothing. At least one previous case involving disgraced former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey — where the FBI under his direction welcomed back an American ISIS terrorist from Syria and gave him a job working with the Justice Department — may be an example of how *not* to handle such cases. The American media are now rallying around the plight of Alabama ISIS bride Hoda Muthana, who left the U.S. for Syria to marry an ISIS fighter in 2014. During her time inside the Islamic State, she openly called for attacks on the U.S. and encouraged the supporters of terrorist groups to "spill American blood." But now that Muthana has been captured by Kurdish forces and is currently imprisoned by U.S.-backed forces, she's using the media to make a case for her return to the U.S. and for leniency...  https://pjmedia.com/homeland-security/flashback-comeys-fbi-embraced-american-isis-terrorist-helped-him-get-justice-department-job/

by Nate Jackson:  We’ve spent much of the last two years chronicling how far and fast Democrats are moving to the extreme left. But don’t take our word for it — take the word of average Democrats.

In a new Gallup survey, “Understanding Shifts in Democratic Party Ideology,” the organization attempts to discern an answer to what average Democrat voters think on a range of current issues. What researchers found is staggering, though it confirms what we’ve written for years:

As Gallup has previously reported, the percentage of Democrats nationally who identify as politically liberal has been increasing. This has occurred in three distinct phases: 1) 2001-2006, when the percentage was trending steadily upward; 2) 2007-2012, when liberalism held steady near 40% for several years in a row and 3) 2013-2018, when liberalism resumed its upward trajectory.

The percentage of Democrats identifying as politically liberal averaged 32% in the first period, 39% in the second and 46% in the third. At the same time, the percentages identifying as conservative and moderate fell equally.

Though all identity groups within the party have moved left, the starkest shift has been among college-educated whites — a testament to the stranglehold “progressives” have on the higher-education system because, Gallup notes, “the percentage of all college graduates (including postgrads) increas[ed] by 13 points.” Just 34% of that cohort identified as “liberal” in the early 2000s. Now it’s 54%. The shift is on issues running the gamut, too. Whether it’s gun control, climate change, or abortion, rank-and-file Democrats are moving left.

Democrat politicians have exploited and driven this shift. Remember a dozen years ago when the likes of Barack scumbag/liar-nObama, scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton, and Chuck scumbag-Schumer supported border security and opposed same-sex marriage and single-payer health care? Heck, scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (sponsored by then-Rep. scumbag-Schumer), and implemented “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Now, not only have those same politicians — and the entire party — shifted, but they utterly vilify anyone who hasn’t adopted the radical new positions of open borders, forcing bakers to serve same-sex weddings, and Medicare for All. In fact, the latter is practically a litmus test for the 2020 presidential field.

Pondering the fallout of this shift, National Review’s David French writes, “Any study of the political polarization in the 21st century has to account for the fact that it is extraordinarily difficult to achieve any kind of national consensus when one side is rapidly and constantly changing its demands. … The terms of the debate changed. The goalposts shifted.”

Indeed they have, and yet, somehow, leftists are even more  angry than they were before all their victories. In any case, even with Donald Trump in the White House and the Senate under GOP control, Gallup’s findings portend trouble ahead for the cause of Liberty.  ~The Patriot Post

The following recent thought-provoking article reveals that the fetid swamp inside the Beltway has been belching the most malodorous swamp gases since the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller by 'Deep State' agent Rod Rosenstein, however, everyone in the justice biz knows that the only way such a corrupt and unscrupulous prosecutor like Mueller can get away with his transparently malicious prosecutions is to be enabled by an equally corrupt and crooked judge.

It also revealed that where it concerns the transparently 'fake Russiagate investigation and legal proceedings,' that judge would allegedly be Amy Berman Jackson, the United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.

Additionally, it also revealed that Judge Berman Jackson’s alleged serial judicial misconduct and profound violations of the juridical code qualify her for immediate censure and removal from the bench because allowing her to complete her term would be a tremendous disservice to those many jurists who take their job seriously and perform with integrity. And, as a means of delivering justice to the many individuals who have suffered grotesque forms of injustice in Berman’s courtrooms, she should be disbarred and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If true, what’s wrong but not surprising about this picture?-You Decide:

{thefederalist.com} ~ Dissenting in Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 Supreme Court case that legalized same-sex marriage, Justice Samuel Alito gravely predicted that “those who cling to old beliefs will be able to whisper their thoughts in the recesses of their homes... but if they repeat those views in public, they will risk being labeled as bigots and treated as such by governments, employers, and schools.” He was right. In Wisconsin, this campaign of religious intolerance has claimed a new casualty in Gordon Giampietro, President Trump’s former nominee to a vacant seat on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. He was revealed to be removed from the list of renominations Trump issued on January 22. Democrats have all but ensured that, for the crime of publicly voicing the teachings of his faith, Giampietro will never sit on the federal bench. A number of Senate Democrats have famously come to the conclusion that Catholics faithful to the teachings of their church are unfit for public service. In September 2017, Sen. Dianne Fein-stein (D-CA) bizarrely complained that “the dogma lives loudly within” Judge Amy Coney Barrett, suggesting that her faith precludes her service on the bench. In December 2018, presidential candidate lowlife-Kamala Harris (D-CA) shamefully attempted to make membership in the Knights of Columbus, a renowned Catholic charitable organization, a disqualifying offense. One can apparently  be a Catholic, but ought not to be too serious about it. That this nonsense has now claimed Giampietro is a shame. His qualifications are beyond question. An assistant general counsel at a Fortune 500 company, he has more than a decade’s experience as a federal prosecutor after becoming a partner at one of Wisconsin’s most successful law firms... Why are these dems getting away with this nonsense.  http://thefederalist.com/2019/02/22/democrats-take-another-judicial-nominee-simply-hes-christian/?utm_source=The+Federalist+List&utm_campaign=ad504bdcae-RSS_The_Federalist_Daily_Updates_w_Transom&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_cfcb868ceb-ad504bdcae-83771801

{meforum.org} ~ The recent 74% increase in anti-Semitic incidents in France is only a symptom of the underlying problem: the consequences of the wave of unvetted migration into Western countries... in the case of Europe, migrants coming predominantly from Muslim-majority countries. This migrant influx has sparked concerns about immigration, welfare and security policies in many European countries. But it should also raise questions about the rise of anti-Semitism in the West.

{thefederalist.com} ~ What on earth has happened to the Democratic Party? Even by liberal standards, the policies the left now advocates appear insane... To say they are an order of fries short of a Happy Meal is an insult to McDonald’s. I’m used to childishness from the Democratic Party, but something is very wrong in the Land of Unicorns and Fairy Dust. Is all of this just the usual hyper-liberal reaction to a Republican presidency, or is there something more insidious and dangerous at work? The latter may be the case, in the form of something called the Overton Window Principle. Let’s recap the last several weeks in Lala-Land. Consider the “Green New Deal” Rep. comie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez supports. Her resolution before Congress calls for America to entirely divest itself of fossil fuels within ten years. This is such a ludicrous proposal that anyone with a scintilla of common sense or over the age of 25 should burst out laughing when informed of it. A Frequently Asked Questions page that appeared on commie-Ocasio-Cortez’s website before it was taken down actually said: “We set a goal to get to that net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast…” That is a real quote from an actual document posted to a bona fide congresswoman’s real-life website...

"Make Turkey Great Again" Collides with the U.S.

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The summer peak of the crisis between Turkey and the United States, two NATO allies in theory, has been replaced by cautious pessimism... Few Turks today remember the days of massive Turkish protests against President Donald Trump and his administration, often exhibited in childish ways such as groups gathering to burn fake U.S. dollars or smashing iPhones in front of cameras. This is, however, an extremely fragile tranquility. On February 25, after keeping the position vacant since October 2017, Washington nominated David Satterfield, a career diplomat, as new ambassador to Ankara, an appointment that still needs to be confirmed by the Senate. In Ankara, a complex puzzle awaits Ambassador Satterfield. There are no signs that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan may rethink -- or even recalibrate -- his assertive neo-Ottoman foreign policy calculus. As the country awaits its critical local elections on March 31, his popularity is augmented by supportive masses who want to "Make Turkey great again." A surprise defeat at the ballot box could be the beginning of the end of Erdoğan's 17-year-old rule. One of Erdoğan's regional policy priorities, as U.S. troops in neighboring northern Syria prepare to leave, is to prevent Turkey's south from witnessing the emergence of "a Kurdish belt". The U.S. troop pullout could expose Syrian Kurds, U.S. allies in the multinational fight against Islamic State, to the risk of a Turkish military incursion...

New Jersey To Begin Taxing Residents For… *Checks Notes*… Rain?
by uspoliticsandnews.com:   Proving that liberals will tax anything that’s not nailed down, property owners in New Jersey will soon be paying new taxes every single time that it rains... And like all modern liberal taxes, it will be a progressive tax – straight out of chapter 2 of The Communist Manifesto. How much you are taxed for the rain will depend on how much property you own. If you think back to those math lessons in school that involved surface area and water volume, you’ll quickly realize that this tax model has the potential to cripple any business with a parking lot. What prompted the New Jersey legislature to decide to start taxing rain? The same thing that is forcing many “blue” states into bankruptcy right now: Their rotten public-sector labor union pension plans. Decades of mismanagement and pie-in-the-sky retirement plans have left the state clawing under every couch cushion to find something left to tax. The short-sighted politicians never seem to realize that allowing every state employee to retire in the lap of luxury will eventually make your state go broke. New Jersey’s high taxes have more residents fleeing the state than New York or California. The rain tax will probably make that phenomenon even worse...  https://uspoliticsandnews.com/new-jersey-to-begin-taxing-residents-for-checks-notes-rain/?inf_contact_key=536c62a6eed14f5da319b4b7a14f5b8f842e902fbefb79ab9abae13bfcb46658

by Thomas Gallatin:  On Wednesday, it was learned that federal investigators had arrested a U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant on weapons and drug charges last Friday. Lt. Christopher Paul Hasson, a self-identified white nationalist, had been stockpiling weapons in his Silver Spring, Maryland, apartment in preparations for his plan to instigate a race war. The charges referenced Hasson as “a domestic terrorist” who intended to “murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country.” In his own words, Hasson was “dreaming of a way to kill almost every last person on the earth.”

Hasson had created a specific hit list of “traitors” that included congressional Democrats like House Speaker Nancy Pulosi and Sen. Richard Blumenthal, as well as Leftmedia personalities such as MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and CNN host Don Lemon.

In a 2017 letter to “a known American neo-Nazi leader” following the deadly violence at the infamous racist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, Hasson wrote that he was “a long time White Nationalist, having been a skinhead 30 plus years ago before my time in the military. I fully support the idea of a white homeland… We need a white homeland as Europe seems lost. How long we can hold out there and prevent niggerization of the Northwest until whites wake up on their own or are forcibly made to make a decision whether to roll over and die and stand up remains to be seen.”

Thankfully, the authorities arrested Hasson before he attempted to follow through on his murderous plot.

What examples like Hasson serve to expose is the underlying evil behind identity politics, whether it comes in the form of white nationalism or in more widely accepted forms like Black Lives Matter or the Women’s March. The evil of identity politics is fomenting rabid tribalism. It is the antithesis of constitutional conservatism, which espouses the God-given dignity, rights, and Liberty of each individual over that of any one identity group. An individual should be judged by actions and ideas, not identify-group classification.

The hatred of others based upon their immutable characteristics is not a conservative or politically right-wing perspective, even though the mainstream media often erroneously conflates the two — often with the help of the hate-baiting Southern Poverty Law Center. Instead, it is an expression of identity politics. (One party in America specializes in this, and it’s not Republicans.) By its very nature, identity politics highlights tribal grievances (real or imagined) and then uses these grievances to vilify and blame another targeted group as the “problem.” It seeks to pit groups against each other by preaching the flawed Marxist ethic of oppressor vs. oppressed, creating overly simplistic paradigms like bourgeois vs. proletariat or rich vs. poor. In Hasson’s case, that manifested as sociopathic white nationalism, and there’s nothing remotely “right wing” about it.  ~The Patriot Post

A Look at the Consequences of the 2009 
Stimulus Law as Congress Contemplates 
'Automatic Stimulus' Legislation

{aei.org} ~ Ten years after the enactment of the February 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA, or “stimulus law”) in the midst of the worst economic recession since the Great Depression... the policy implications of this legislation continue to be felt. ARRA included numerous spending and revenue provisions, from short-run traditional stimulus to long-run transformative measures. It temporarily raised the federal matching rates for Medicaid, education, and certain transportation projects for localities and states. A number of public benefits were extended or made more generous, notably in the Unemployment Insurance program and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The act also included a number of measures providing temporary tax relief to individuals and business, such as the Making Work Pay tax credit and increased deductions for capital depreciation of business equipment. Also in it were a number of provisions designed to promote “green energy,” a precursor to today’s calls for even more aggressive efforts on that front. When ARRA passed, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated it would increase budget deficits by $787 billion over 10 years, with the vast majority realized by the end of 2012, an estimate that was later revised upward. As is now well understood, the optimistic expectations of ARRA did not prove accurate, as employment fell after the enactment of the bill, despite the scumbag/liar-nObama administration’s January 2009 report, which predicted it would rise. Instead of giving stimulus supporters data with which to make their case, the 2009 report quickly morphed into a detailed road map for stimulus opponents who not only questioned the effects of the stimulus law but also rejected calls for additional stimulus later that year...  http://www.aei.org/spotlight/consequences-2009-stimulus-law/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTURjME9XVmpNV1l4WkRjMiIsInQiOiJyTU1NRGlFcjMybnNJRWdVcUI3SFF3cTZ4TkNaaFNiTlYzbms5a2M3bkpVckJLYzFvM1pWU1FBWFJWM1lyR25UTGcrc0dUczRQMzJCbG55TVhIOUpGNjVFMEFvcGJ1ckhqWGFLRHJKQzRSb0Z6UWZWT3NzdEpaVnNITXpyVXVcL0cifQ%3D%3D

{spectator.org} ~ The law of civil forfeiture allows police and prosecutors to seize and keep cash, cars, homes, businesses and property of all kinds without ever criminally charging or convicting the owners... As originally conceived, it was to be a deterrent by which law enforcement would transfer the ill-gotten gains of crime to the public treasury. But, as so often happens with governmental power, it has transmuted over the years into a semi-criminal operation in and of itself. In 2014, Chris Sourovelis’ son was arrested for selling $40 worth of drugs. Three weeks later, the Philadelphia police forcibly evicted the entire Sourovelis family from their home. This was part of Philadelphia’s aggressive program to shut down drug houses which plagued neighborhoods throughout the city. Sourovelis, who owned the property, was never charged with a crime. Nevertheless, before he and his family could return to their home, he had to go to court. But this wasn’t just any tribunal. The forfeiture court at Philadelphia’s City Hall had neither judge nor jury. Instead, it was run by the District Attorney’s Office, the same organization which authorized the property seizures. Since this was a civil court, no lawyer or public defender was provided to persons trying to get their property back. If they couldn’t afford to pay a lawyer, the petitioners themselves had to present their cases to an Assistant District Attorney. The prosecutor in the courtroom determined whether or not the City could keep the property into perpetuity, and there was no venue for an appeal...

Think about who have declared so far: Elizabeth dinky-Warren, lowlife-Kamala Harris, scumbag-Cory Booker, Amy from Minnesota, Kirsten Gillibrand — all second tier politicians who will pick up the anti-Trump vote just by being Democrats, but not much more. Tulsi Gabbard is a new face nationally, but has too much Assad baggage. Julian Castro is the guy who had less responsibility as Mayor of San Antonio than Sarah Palin had as the Mayor of Wasilla. Think about who might enter the race: loose lips-Joe Biden and commie-Bernie? A smoocher and a socialist. Great. Actually, not great. socialist-Beto could generate some excitement, but he seems to be using campaigning as emotional therapy, not good. Bloomberg wants to take away your Big Gulps — yeah, that should work... Ya sure.

{americanthinker.com} ~ The New York Times, which one assumes has some claim to representing mainstream culture, has recently published a review of a book by David Icke famous for declaring the Queen of England a shape-shifting lizard... a tome in which Jews or at least, the majority of them emerge not only as extraordinary villains starting World Wars I and II for starters, but also, in the main, as descendants of an alien race of shape-shifting lizards. You read that right. Lest you laugh, the book was touted by Alice Walker, of The Color Purple fame: The New York Times Just Published an Unqualified Recommendation for an Insanely Anti-Semitic Book by Yair Rosenberg. The book, recommended by author Alice Walker, repeatedly cites the ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion,’ dubs the Talmud ‘among the most appallingly racist documents on the planet,’ and says Jews funded the Holocaust and control the KKK There are a lot of conspiracy theories the Times would not be willing to lend ink to discuss; and this one passed muster? Having pulled up my socks and waded a bit into the shallow end of Talmud study, I confess I have never run across anything about shape-shifting lizards. But then, I haven't read the whole thing. I did once have a Jewish girlfriend, whose kisses were a bit cold, and maybe reptilian. Perhaps that was a giveaway? Then we have a DC councilman asserting that Jews control the weather. I assume the councilman has at least a modicum of education and intelligence, so how did he come up with that idea? And why was he not laughed out of office?...

Greening of the Earth Enhanced by ... 
India and China?

by Jordan Candler:  China and India take a lot of flak for their heavy carbon footprints. However, NASA Ames reports, “A new study shows that the two emerging countries with the world’s biggest populations are leading the increase in greening on land.” What explains this dichotomy? The journal Nature Sustainability relays some specifics:
 

Recent satellite data (2000–2017) reveal a greening pattern that is strikingly prominent in China and India and overlaps with croplands world-wide. China alone accounts for 25% of the global net increase in leaf area with only 6.6% of global vegetated area. The greening in China is from forests (42%) and croplands (32%), but in India is mostly from croplands (82%) with minor contribution from forests (4.4%). China is engineering ambitious programmes to conserve and expand forests with the goal of mitigating land degradation, air pollution and climate change. Food production in China and India has increased by over 35% since 2000 mostly owing to an increase in harvested area through multiple cropping facilitated by fertilizer use and surface- and/or groundwater irrigation. Our results indicate that the direct factor is a key driver of the ‘Greening Earth’, accounting for over a third, and probably more, of the observed net increase in green leaf area.

NASA Ames adds, “Taken all together, the greening of the planet over the last two decades represents an increase in leaf area on plants and trees equivalent to the area covered by all the Amazon rainforests. There are now more than two million square miles of extra green leaf area per year, compared to the early 2000s — a 5% increase.”

Researcher Chi Chen noted, “China and India account for one-third of the greening, but contain only 9% of the planet’s land area covered in vegetation — a surprising finding, considering the general notion of land degradation in populous countries from over exploitation.”

And according to Ames Research Center’s Rama Nemani, “Once people realize there’s a problem, they tend to fix it. In the 70s and 80s in India and China, the situation around vegetation loss wasn’t good; in the 90s, people realized it; and today things have improved. Humans are incredibly resilient. That’s what we see in the satellite data.” This is a salient point that reinforces the pertinence of adaptation. What’s causing climate change remains obscure, despite the mainstream narrative. Moreover, CO2 isn’t a pollutant. And crops, as demonstrated above, thrive on it — which is a good thing.

Finally, it’s worth noting that this greening would likely be less so without fossil fuels. As Joseph L. Bast and Peter Ferrara wrote in The Wall Street Journal last June, “Fossil-fuel emissions create additional benefits, contributing to the greening of the Earth. A 2017 study published in Nature magazine found that the global mass of land plants grew 31% during the 20th century. African deserts are blooming thanks to fossil fuels.”

scumbag/liar-nObama EPA Regulations Blamed 
for Closure of 100-Year-Old Coal Plant

{dailysignal.com} ~ A coal-fired power plan that’s operated for more than 100 years is shutting down, and its owners say scumbag/liar-nObama-era regulations are to blame. Alabama Power’s Plant Gorgas will officially close in April... It’s only the latest coal industry casualty, driven by Environmental Protection Agency regulations and market forces. “We recognize that Plant Gorgas and the men and women who have operated it have brought great value to Alabama Power, our customers and the local community,” Jim Heilbron, Alabama Power’s senior vice president, said in a statement issued Wednesday. “We are also concerned that more regulations are on the horizon that could require additional, costly expenditures at the plant,” Heilbron said.Heilbron said federal regulations for handling coal ash and wastewater made it too costly to continue operating Plant Gorgas. Those regulations were put in place under the scumbag/liar-nObama administration. Coal plant retirements spiked during former President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s time in office as his administration put in place costly regulations amid a boom in natural gas production. Low natural gas prices have persisted, putting more pressure on coal plants facing high compliance costs...

{patriotnewsalerts.com} ~ It’s really no surprise to find out that scumbag-George Soros has been linked to the funding behind Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal... The Green New Deal proposal introduced by commie-Ocasio-Cortez is a radical first step in turning the United States into a socialist economy. The ambitious plan hopes to make the U.S. 100% reliant on “clean energy” within ten years — and that’s without nuclear power. As if that wasn’t enough, the deal also promises to practically eliminate poverty by offering guaranteed federal jobs and universal health insurance. And that’s just the start. 11 Democrat senators, including 2020 presidential candidates lowlife-Kamala Harris, Elizabeth dinky-Warren, and scumbag-Cory Booker, and 84 House Democrats have embraced the deal, at least on paper. According to a report in The New Yorker, the proposal was written by commie-Ocasio-Cortez’s office and activist groups The Sunrise Movement, Justice Democrats, and New Consensus. Among the co-sponsors who helped promote the Deal were 350.org, Organic Consumers Association, CPD Action, Justice Democrats, and People’s Action, Breitbart reported...

Palestinians: "The Slap of the Century"

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The US administration is now saying that it will announce its plan for peace in the Middle East, also known as the "Deal of the Century," after the April 9 election in Israel... The unseen plan has already been rejected by Palestinian leaders, who continue to denounce it as a "conspiracy aimed at eliminating the Palestinian cause and rights." In light of the Palestinians' vehement opposition to the "Deal of the Century," it is already clear that the plan will not solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas will hardly accept a plan that he has repeatedly referred to as a US "conspiracy" and the "Slap of the Century." In one of his recent speeches, Abbas said: "We will not accept the 'Deal of the Century' and we will not accept a situation where the US is the sole broker in the peace process." Abbas has turned US President Donald Trump and his senior advisers into enemies of the Palestinians. Abbas and Palestinian Authority officials have been boycotting the US administration since December 2017, when Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Abbas and his associates have since been using harsh language to condemn Trump's senior advisers, especially US Ambassador David Friedman, and special envoys Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt. Abbas himself has called  Friedman a "son of a dog." Palestinian officials and media outlets regularly refer to Kushner, Friedman and Greenblatt as "Zionist extremists" and "settlers." Palestinian leaders have incited their people against the Trump and his advisers to the point where it would be almost impossible for them even to be seen meeting with any US official. In recent months, Abbas has been quoted as saying that he does not intend to end his life as a "traitor." The comment also means that it would also be impossible to accept any peace plan presented by the current administration...   https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/13787/palestinians-slap-of-the-century

{thehill.com} ~ Republican Rep. Roger Williams (Texas) said Tuesday that he opposes the national emergency declared by President Trump to build a border wall... Williams, asked about Trump's national emergency declaration by a constituent at a town hall event Tuesday, gave a clear "no" to supporting it, according to the Austin American-Statesman.“The reason that I have not been supportive of the declaration is because Congress has done a really poor job, we ... Congress, both sides of the aisle, put the president in this situation, OK, but I don’t support it from a selfish standpoint,” Williams said at the event, according to the Statesman. He then reportedly went on to explain that the emergency declared by Trump could take border wall funding that currently goes towards military bases, specifically noting Fort Hood, and saying he’d “hate to see a lot of those dollars diverted from that.” Williams’s district, which he is in his fourth term representing, includes a majority of Fort Hood and is not on or near the border...  https://thehill.com/homenews/house/430882-texas-gop-rep-opposes-trumps-use-of-national-emergency-to-get-border-wall

Yellowstone Supervolcano Eruption Fears 
SPIKE As Geysers Become More Active

{shtfplan.com} ~ Some of Yellowstone’s geysers have been more active lately reigniting fears that the massive supervolcano will erupt. The sudden bursts of steaming hot water highlight the dramatic nature of Yellowstone... while reminding us we are all at the caldera’s mercy. While average people seemed concerned, geologists seemed excited and thrilled when Yellowstone’s steamboat geyser began erupting again in 2018. It has been erupting as often as once a week since last March, according to National Geographic, and scientists continue to say the volatile activity is not a sign of an imminent eruption. The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory reported that Steamboat has now set a record by erupting a whopping 32 times in 2018, a personal best for the geyser for a single calendar year. It’s the world’s tallest active geyser, and at the best of times, it can shoot hot water 300 feet into the air. However, it isn’t just the Steamboat Geyser that has been concerning people. Ear Spring Geyser, for example, has been almost since 1957, but it erupted spectacularly a few months back and sprayed human garbage from the 1930s all over the national park. But scientists insist this doesn’t mean an eruption is pending. “It’s a good lesson in how geysers actually work,” said Michael Poland, the scientist-in-charge at Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. “As soon as you start to recognize a pattern in a geyser’s eruption, it changes.” “As far as geysers go, Steamboat is sort of typical in terms of having these sporadic, unpredictable eruptions,” Poland notes. “But because it’s this really tall geyser and it has this name recognition, it makes it that much more interesting.” But again, it’s not just Steamboat Geyser that has people concerned. “But back in 2007 to 2008, Giant geyser went bananas,” Poland says. “It erupted many, many more times than it had in the past year—and Steamboat didn’t do anything of the sort.”...

by Political Editors:  In the paper’s latest anti-Trump/anti-Republican hit piece, New York Times columnist Sheryl Gay Stolberg attempts to take down Republicans … for daring to expose Democrats for who they are. She writes, “In the 116th Congress, if you’re a Democrat, you’re either a socialist, a baby killer or an anti-Semite.” She continues, “That, at least, is what Republicans want voters to think, as they seek to demonize Democrats well in advance of the 2020 elections by painting them as left-wing crazies who will destroy the American economy, murder newborn babies and turn a blind eye to bigotry against Jews.”

That list of issues would be pretty demonizing if they weren’t true. And that is exactly the elephant donkey in the room that Stolberg avoids discussing. Like blaming a police officer for issuing a ticket to an individual guilty of speeding, Stolberg blames Republicans for pointing out just how extreme Democrats have become. She does not attempt to refute or deny that Democrats are indeed guilty of promoting all these extreme political positions.

Last we checked, Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was still a Democrat who regularly declares her love for everything socialist anytime she finds herself in front of a camera. It’s not Republicans who are compelling all the current Democrat 2020 presidential contenders to loudly voice their support for economy-destroying socialist programs such as the Green New Deal, “free” college, or Medicare for All.

It wasn’t Republicans who lit up One World Trade Center in pink in a ghoulish celebration of Democrat New York Gov. Andrew evil-Cuomo’s signing of the state’s latest abortion/infanticide legislation. Virginia’s Democrat Gov. Ralph Northam can’t blame Republicans for his shocking statements defending the practice of infanticide.

Nor can Republicans be blamed for calling out the growing anti-Semitism within Democrat ranks. Would Rep. Ilhan Omar’s faux apology for her latest anti-Semitic trope ever have occurred had not social-media attention and backlash pressured the freshman representative into it? Republicans have long complained about the racial double standard among Democrats, and yet now the Times blames Republicans for exposing it? Please.

What Stolberg’s piece tacitly acknowledges is that Democrats’ leftist policies don’t win with the majority of the American public. When Democrats are exposed for what they really believe and desire for the country, many people recoil in disgust. That too is not the fault of Republicans.  ~The Patriot Post

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ On Tax Day 2009, I stood on the banks of Boston Harbor clutching a bullhorn. I was mad as hell at both parties for the infamous Troubled Assets Relief Program, or TARP... bailout of the big banks and concerned that Democratic control of the White House and both houses of Congress would be disastrous. At the time, I was head of my alma mater’s College Republicans. My goal was to move the GOP in a libertarian direction. I was sure a generational shift was just around the corner. Ten years on, it’s easy to see that hasn’t happened, especially on government spending. On Feb. 12, the national debt surpassed $22 trillion for the first time ever. When I started organizing with the Tea Party a decade ago it was $12 trillion. Yet it’s also become clear why  the budget hawks never had our day. It’s a story of false dawn after false dawn. When the Tea Party movement began, we felt it was an idea whose time had come. I immediately got on board to organize, hoping my instincts about that shift would prove prescient. Perhaps others were as upset about bailouts and cronyism as I was! It sure seemed like it on that chilly April day, rallying a crowd of hundreds to the cause of limited government. Though they recognized then-President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama was a threat to fiscal restraint, they also seemed to understand that we had to elect Republicans serious about opposing scumbag/liar-nObama’s spending policies, not those who offered up watered-down versions of the same agenda. I was so optimistic, especially as Tea Party Republicans like my then-future, now-former boss Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., began to win their primaries. Granted, I was only 22. But what some might call naivete, I believed was idealism. Ten years later and $10 trillion more in debt, I found myself asking: What happened?...

{dailysignal.com} ~ By invoking a law regulating foreign agents to pursue prosecution of former Trump campaign officials, special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller opened the door to more intense scrutiny of some U.S. environmental groups... according to legal analysts who say China and Russia use such groups to influence America’s energy policy. But these legal analysts said they also see a danger that dirty cop-Mueller’s Russia investigation could set a precedent for the Justice Department to “selectively enforce” the Foreign Agents Registration Act in a manner that undermines the rule of law and potentially jeopardizes national security. The Trump administration, they say, should closely examine the relationship between environmental advocacy groups and foreign governments that are considered strategic competitors of the U.S. “If the dirty cop-Mueller probe has any real benefit, it is that it opened the door for the Justice Department to employ FARA as a basis to investigate green groups that are undermining our country and aiding socialist/communist regimes,” lawyer Mark Fitzgibbons told The Daily Signal. Because these same environmental groups persistently lobby for policy changes to restrict U.S. energy use and the projection of U.S. military power, the groups may operate at the direction and encouragement of hostile foreign actors, Fitzgibbons and other reform proponents argue...

{jpost.com} ~ With tensions high between Israel and Iran, the Islamic Republic began an annual week-long naval war games in the Persian Gulf and strategic Strait of Hormuz... The Commander of Iran’s Army Navy, Rr.-Adm. Hossein Khanzadi was quoted by Iran’s Mehr News Agency as saying the large-scale maritime drill, dubbed “Velayat-97,” would begin two kilometers from the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf of Oman, and continue to 10 degrees north of the Indian Ocean.The games “aims for training naval plans to deal with any external threats, displaying power, assessing the equipment, the level of preparedness and accountability of the navy, and declaring readiness to achieve collective security in open waters,” Khanzadi was quoted as saying. The drill is expected to have four stages, in which it will see submarines, warships, helicopters and surveillance planes take part in the drill. The drill will reportedly also include missile launches from naval vessels. Iran has been working to upgrade its navy, acquiring new vessels and submarines to bolster its aging fleet. Last week, the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy announced the launch of its first indigenously developed submarine capable of firing cruise missiles...

{pjmedia.com} ~ Last week, an enterprising conservative political consultant unearthed evidence that Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) may have hired her boyfriend, Riley Roberts, to work in Congress... This news actually unraveled a far bigger story of corruption, however. As it turns out, a political group helping commie-Ocasio-Cortez's campaign had already paid Roberts during the campaign — and those payments from that shady organization may be the reason commie-Ocasio-Cortez is in Congress today. On Wednesday, Luke Thompson, a podcast host and former staffer for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), shared some damning research into commie-Ocasio-Cortez's campaign. He discovered more about the relationship between Riley Roberts and the campaign, but he also unearthed a humongous corruption story. Luke Thompson had originally unearthed the central piece of evidence tying commie-Ocasio-Cortez's congressional office to Riley Roberts — her boyfriend's official congressional staff email. In the wake of this news, some people noticed that the commie-Ocasio-Cortez campaign paid Roberts $1,750, but Thompson insisted this was only "a means of keeping accounting in order." During the first half of 2018, the boyfriend volunteered with the campaign, and his efforts were classified as an in-kind contribution. This is normal.Two far more conspicuous payments to Roberts came in 2017, however. Those involved Brand New Congress, an organization founded and run by Saikat Chakrabarti, who happens to be commie-Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff. Chakrabarti founded Brand New Congress in 2017. "It’s a rather ingenious organization, but one that dwells in a legal gray-area as far as campaign finance law is concerned," Luke Thompson reported...  https://pjmedia.com/trending/ocasio-cortez-boyfriend-troubles-reveal-the-corruption-at-the-heart-of-her-campaign/?utm_source=PJMCoffeeBreak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=February2019

{thehill.com} ~ Some close to the White House believe that Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats may soon be ousted as President Trump’s top intelligence official... a move that would draw ire from Capitol Hill and likely raise new concerns about the administration’s national security apparatus. The latest speculation around Coats’s potential dismissal comes just weeks after the director of national intelligence (DNI) testified in a high-profile congressional hearing that North Korea is “unlikely to completely give up its nuclear weapons” amid talks between Trump and the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un. Longtime Trump confidant Christopher Ruddy this week raised the possibility the president could remove Coats from his post, asserting in a CNN interview that there is “general disappointment” with him at the White House, and that he overstepped his bounds by trying to “make policy and not inform policy.” A former Trump administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Hill, “There is a growing sense in the administration that Coats’s days are numbered.” When asked by a reporter Tuesday if he had any plans to replace Coats, Trump said, "I haven’t even thought about it."...

Liberty v. Socialism: Trump on Foreign 
and Domestic Socialists

by Mark Alexander:  “We must make our election between economy and Liberty, or profusion and servitude.” —Thomas Jefferson (1816)

It is no coincidence that on the day after Donald Trump delivered an address on socialism to Americans of Venezuelan descent, socialist Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders announced another presidential bid.

commie-Sanders, who, along with his Millennial protégé  commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is the leader of the Left’s socialism denial movement, proclaimed a few years ago, “The American dream is more apt to be realized in … Venezuela.” He added, “Who’s the banana republic now?”

The answer to that question — drum roll please: Venezuela!

In his remarks, President Trump offered this assessment:

Not long ago, Venezuela was the wealthiest nation, by far, in South America. But years of socialist rule have brought this once-thriving nation to the brink of ruin. … In other words, the socialists have done in Venezuela all of the same things that socialists, communists, totalitarians have done everywhere that they’ve had a chance to rule. The results have been catastrophic.

Almost 90% of Venezuelans now live in poverty. … Crippling shortages of food and medicine plague the country. Socialism has so completely ravaged this great country that even the world’s largest reserves of oil are no longer enough to keep the lights on. … The twilight hour of socialism has arrived in our hemisphere and, frankly, in many, many places around the world. The days of socialism and communism are numbered not only in Venezuela, but in Nicaragua and in Cuba as well.

Socialism promises prosperity, but it delivers poverty. Socialism promises unity, but it delivers hatred and it delivers division. Socialism promises a better future, but it always returns to the darkest chapters of the past. … Socialism is a sad and discredited ideology rooted in the total ignorance of history and human nature, which is why socialism, eventually, must always give rise to tyranny, which it does.

And to those who would try to impose socialism on the United States, we again deliver a very simple message: America will never be a socialist country. We are born free and we will stay free, now and forever.“

Indeed, as Trump reiterated in his State of the Union earlier this month, "Here, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country. We are born free, and we will stay free. Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.”

Meanwhile, commie-Sanders and commie-Ocasio-Cortez remain united behind Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. Always endeavoring to incrementally erode American Liberty, they have repackaged the failed old socialist deals as fresh new and improved socialist deals, and their youthful “constituency of dunces” are all in.  ~The Patriot Post

{westernjournal.com} ~ Despite a long, drawn-out investigation that hasn’t uncovered any evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign... Democratic Rep. scumbag-Adam Schiff continues to push the narrative, insisting there’s is “evidence in plain sight.” So, in true “Bulldog Gowdy” form, Republican Trey Gowdy, the former South Carolina representative and federal prosecutor, decided to give the California politician a little English lesson. During “The Story with Martha MacCallum” Tuesday night, MacCallum played Gowdy a clip of scumbag-Schiff claiming there’s clear evidence that President Donald Trump colluded with the Russian government during the 2016 presidential election.“You can see evidence in plain sight on the issue of collusion, pretty compelling evidence,” scumbag-Schiff said Monday on CNN. “Now, there is a difference between seeing evidence of collusion and being able to prove a criminal conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt.” scumbag-Schiff apparently couldn’t see the obvious contradiction in his comments, so Gowdy gave him a lesson on the word “collusion.” “Well, collusion is a synonym for conspiracy,” Gowdy said. “So, I hope the questioner followed up and said, ‘OK, Chairman scumbag-Schiff, you have just said that you have evidence of a criminal conspiracy between the president of the United States and the Russian state. What is that evidence? What is the crime?'”...

{westernjournal.com} ~ The Council on American-Islamic Relations announced on Monday that Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib will be speaking at CAIR-Michigan’s annual banquet only days after... the Hamas-linked organization revealed that fellow Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota will be speaking at CAIR-LA’s annual banquet. CAIR is a notable pro-Palestinian organization with ties to Islamic terror groups. The U.S. Department of Justice listed CAIR as an unindicted co-conspirator in funding millions of dollars to the terrorist organization Hamas. Additionally, the United Arab Emirates named CAIR a terrorist organization along with al-Qaeda and the Islamic State in 2014. Tlaib will be the guest speaker at CAIR-Michigan’s 19th annual “Faith-Led, Justice Driven” banquet on March 17, according to the organization’s invitation. Single tickets start at $50 per person and a table can cost upwards of $500. Tickets for Omar’s March 23 event start at a similar price point. Omar and Tlaib became America’s first Muslim congresswomen when sworn into office in January. Their time in office has been  embroiled in allegations of anti-Semitism. Tlaib invited a pro-Hezbollah, anti-Israel activist to her swearing-in ceremony and the following private dinner in January. Days later, an op-ed column she wrote in 2006 for Final Call, a Nation of Islam publication founded by Louis Farrakhan, surfaced. She also has come under scrutiny for having ties to other anti-Israel individuals and for questioning the loyalty of Republican lawmakers who support the Jewish nation-state... Why is congress letting this happen.

{thefederalist.com} ~ Democrats’ unwillingness to secure our borders is evidenced in their grimaces during the immigration portion of President Trump’s most recent State of the Union and scores of their members hocking superficial “smart walls,”... calling to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and supporting sanctuary cities. This all underscores their antipathy toward national sovereignty and citizenship. Yet to the left’s credit, they persistently push such policies until they achieve victory, which means more political power, territorial integrity, and fidelity to Americans and legal immigrants be damned. Exhibit A, which has flown largely under the radar, is Democrats’ opposition to the Trump administration’s plan to reinstate a citizenship question in the 2020 census. As a reflection of how big of a priority this is for Democrats, Sens. scumbag-Bob Menendez, scumbag-Cory Booker, scumbag-Mazie Hirono, and Minority Leader Chuck scumbag-Schumer, along with a coterie of presidential contending cosponsors, reintroduced the deceptively dubbed “Every Person Counts Act” as one of their earliest actions in this new congressional session. This bill dovetails with leftist activist groups’ ongoing litigation against the Trump administration on the citizenship question, which the Department of Justice (DOJ) has successfully asked be fast-tracked to the Supreme Court. Democrats’ legislation would stipulate that, on the census, the “Secretary of Commerce may not include any question or otherwise elicit any information regarding United States citizenship or immigration status.”...

{dailycaller.com} ~ House Speaker Nancy Pulosi urged all members of Congress on Wednesday night in a “Dear Colleague” letter to stop President Donald Trump’s emergency declaration related to the southern border... by co-sponsoring a privileged resolution of Democratic Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro. According to Pulosi, the resolution would terminate the emergency declaration using a mechanism within the National Emergencies Act (NEA), which will be introduced Friday. Trump declared a national emergency Feb. 15 after Congress allocated $1.375 billion for a wall along the southern border. The declaration gives the president access to $8 billion dollars for the wall. Sixteen states have already filed lawsuits to stop the president from using funding from other projects within the Department of Defense for the construction of the wall. The privileged resolution relating to Trump’s Feb. 15 national emergency declaration reads:“Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That, pursuant to section 202 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622), the national emergency declared by the finding of the President on February 15,  2019, in Proclamation 9844 (84 Fed. Reg. 4949) is hereby terminated.”... Where was Pulosi with the previous presidents with their declarations.

Iran and India Slam Pakistan

{meforum.org} ~ Iran and India are both outraged over recent terror attacks that appear to involve networks linked to extremists in Pakistan. Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Commander Mohammed Ali Jafar called on Pakistan to fight "takifiri" terrorists... after 27 IRGC members were killed in a suicide bombing targeting a bus near the Pakistan border. Meanwhile India is also outraged at a terror attack in Pulwana in which 40 Indian Central Reserve Police Force members were killed. The attack on the Indian security forces in Jammu and Kashmir also targeted a bus. A group called Jaish-e-Mohammed was fingered as responsible. In Iran it was the IRGC members patrolling the border in Sistan and Baluchestan province and the attack is blamed on Jaish al-Asl, a Baluch militant group. In both cases the attacks took place in regions that have long had a restive insurgency involving Islamist groups that are both separatists and involved in terrorism. In both cases the groups are said to receive support from across the border in Pakistan. Indian intelligence chiefs are meeting and expected to come down harshly on Pakistan for its alleged involvement. This is not the first time that extremists from Pakistan have attacked India, either in Kashmir or Mumbai and other areas. India and Iran have received sympathy from countries around the world, particularly Russia which sent condolences to both. Iran appears ready to strike at the militants across the border if Pakistan  does not act quickly. India says it is working to isolate Pakistan diplomatically after the attack. Like Iran, India has said those responsible in Pakistan will pay a "heavy price" and this indicates there may be reprisals... Why is Iran complaining?  https://www.meforum.org/57828/iran-india-slam-pakistan-sheltering-terrorists?utm_source=Middle+East+Forum&utm_campaign=a8de951057-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_02_21_01_34&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_086cfd423c-a8de951057-33703665&mc_cid=a8de951057&mc_eid=f33b9e6c12

Government's a Problem, Say a Record 
Number of Americans. But Why?
Mg4yQZu7OS0hkyQjqwplg6-y-woi7coMgSt6oiLzN8Ed_Aa9GHmy9wwrYTBC35D0-m1L3E9DnJaagZ4MSxaGfE43kfxtAkftCDe-MhIcUquBLItQqpIm-5C777bsJk-WrhmwvYGhseh95EjCo1fLgT3hHW1OJqa_OwkJnBU=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
by Jordan Candler:  If there’s one thing we can say is unequivocal about government shutdowns, it’s that they draw the ire and attention of voters. This is clearly evident in Gallup polling, which for decades has surveyed Americans on their perception of urgent issues. Today, “Thirty-five percent of Americans name the government, poor leadership or politicians as the greatest problem facing the U.S.,” Gallup reported this week.

The data present several interesting takeaways. For starters, shutdowns put an unwelcome spotlight on leadership chasms — the definition of “leadership” being somewhat ambiguous. Gallup says the 35% figure “is the highest percentage Gallup has recorded for this concern, edging out the previous high of 33% during the 2013 federal government shutdown.” Furthermore, “The current percentage of Americans naming government as the most important problem is nearly twice as high as the 18% recorded in November. That increase likely reflects public frustration with the government shutdown that occurred from late December through most of January.”

Shutdowns happen because one party, wisely or not, stands its ground by refusing to compromise on last-minute spending negotiations. This inevitably results in questions over aptitude for one or both party leaders.

Case in point: “An analysis of the verbatim responses to the question from the latest survey finds that 11% of Americans specifically cite ‘Donald Trump’ as the most important problem, while 5% name ‘the Democrats’ or ‘liberals’ and 1% ‘Congress.’ About half of those who say the government is the most important problem — 18% of U.S. adults — blame both parties or cite ‘gridlock,’ ‘lack of cooperation’ or the shutdown more generally. The latter figure has grown from 6% in December and 12% in January.”

The second takeaway is more pernicious. Gallup says, “Americans have become more likely to name the government and/or leadership as the country’s greatest problem over the past decade. From 2001 through 2009, yearly averages of this measure were consistently below 10%, but mentions of government as the foremost challenge have become more pervasive in the decade since. In 2010 to 2016, average mentions of the government as the biggest problem ranged from 12% to 19%.”

As tempting as it may be to think so, this trend doesn’t seem to originate from a desire to reverse our ever-expanding government. Quite the contrary, in fact. As one analyst points out, if desire for limited government and fiscal conservatism were truly the catalysts for these concerns, the record high would have been set when Ronald Reagan was entering office or when the Tea Party was set into motion. But it only hit a record, ironically, during a partial government shutdown.

And as Gallup critically reveals, “While Democrats were more likely than Republicans to name government and leadership as the top problem facing the nation in the year leading up to the latest poll, both party groups are now about as likely to name government as the top U.S. problem.” Reread this part again: “Democrats were more likely than Republicans to name government and leadership as the top problem facing the nation.” Many of these are socialism-supporting obstructionists. Reining in government is hardly on their mind.

Sadly, many Americans are concerned about government and leadership for entirely the wrong reasons, because their idea of how government should operate and what “leadership” actually means are contorted. This poll reflects the inverted environment that polarization and cultural decay create.  ~The Patriot Post

{freebeacon.com} ~ The growing threat to American satellites from Chinese and Russian anti-satellite weaponry was a key driver behind President Trump's directive creating a new space military force... Trump on Tuesday signed Space Policy Directive-4 ordering creation of a new U.S. Space Force to be a separate service within the Air Force —the military leader for national security space operations. "America must be fully equipped to defend our vital interests," Trump said in signing the directive. "Our adversaries are training forces and developing technology to undermine our security in space, and they're working very hard at that." The action follows the creation a Space Command in December that will coordinate space activities for all military services. Space is now an integral part of the American way of life and supports communications, finance, and transportation, among other services. Space systems also are vital for national security, providing intelligence, communications and precision navigation used in targeting weapons...

{freebeacon.com} ~ Officials inside the Trump administration have been pursuing policies that would leave large parts of the nuclear deal with Iran in place, including limiting the amount of pressure placed on Tehran through financial and oil sanctions... according to multiple sources who spoke to the Washington  Free Beacon about a growing inter-agency battle. These policies, which include waivers enabling Iran's continued oil production as well as its access to the global economy, have generated much tension with other parts of the Trump administration known to favor a more hardline approach. It also has riled Iran hawks on Capitol Hill who are currently working on various sanctions packages to further cripple the Iranian regime. The efforts by some within the administration to preserve the nuclear accord and keep it on life support during the Trump presidency has set the stage for a coming battle over U.S. policies to cripple the Iranian economy and choke its leadership. It has become increasingly clear in recent months that some elements of the Trump administration have used back-channel talks with the Europeans and other allies aimed at ensuring the nuclear deal remains in place, despite the president's efforts otherwise, sources told the Free Beacon. At least two pressing issues are likely to bring this fight to the forefront: The potential for the United States to grant more waivers to those who purchase Iranian crude oil and Tehran's continued funding of terrorist entities, including Hamas and Hezbollah... What the hell are these people doing.

{jpost.com} ~ The president of Germany Frank Walter-Steinmeier sent a congratulatory telegram to Iran's mullah regime in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Islamic revolution... in the name of federal republic's citizens. Germany's largest paper Bild reported on Wednesday "On the 40th anniversary of that day, friendly greetings from Berlin arrived in Tehran by telegram: the President of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier (63), sends 'Congratulations' on the occasion of the national holiday, 'also in the name of my compatriots."' Rabbi Abraham Cooper, the associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday that the center "condemns German President’s congratulations to the most dangerous regime in the world, who are religious bigots, who hang Gays, and threaten genocide against Israel--home to the largest Jewish community in the world. When will he condemn their Holocaust denial?" The congratulatory note to a regime that seeks the destruction of the Jewish state and the United States of America has raised eyebrows and unleashed criticism on social media. The prominent German-Iranian dissident and public intellectual Nasrin Amirsedghi wrote on her Twitter feed that "Steinmeier congratulates the Terror-Mullahs." Bild wrote "Mass executions and torture; the brutal persecution of women, minorities, and the opposition; the installation of an Islamist terror state that threatens to annihilate Israel, that covers the Middle East with its militias, and that denies the Holocaust. All of this started in Iran on 11 February, 1979, the day of the 'Islamic Revolution,' when the mullahs seized power in Tehran."...
Expanding Social Security for the rich (Huh?)
by Andrew G. Biggs

{foxbusiness.com} ~ Consider two groups of Americans: one group’s incomes have risen by 4 percent above inflation over the past two decades, according to Federal ReserveOpens a New Window. data... the second group’s incomes rose by 84 percent. So what’s the proposal from over 200 House Democrats? To raise taxesOpens a New Window. on the first group to pay higher benefits to the second. Those two groups are working-age households and  retirees, and over 80 percent of House Democrats have co-sponsored legislation – the Social Security 2100 Act – that would do precisely as described: raise taxes on working-age households who have seen only skimpy income growth in order to “expand” Social Security benefits for retirees whose incomes have risen rapidly. We all know  Social Security faces a funding shortfall, driven by low birth rates and rising life spans. Today, however, newly-emboldened Congressional Democrats don’t merely want to fill the Social Security funding gap with new taxes. They want to raise taxes enough to expand the program’s benefits, for rich and poor alike. No one denies that some retirees are falling short, and many proposals exist to help them. I’ve argued for a true minimum Social Security benefit that ensures that no retiree lives in poverty. So the question isn’t whether Social Security should boost benefits for the poor.

by Media Editors:  "This was an attempted modern day lynching," she had said. Now she's not so sure...“This was an attempted modern day lynching,” lowlife-Kamala Harris said of the hate-crime hoax involving “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett. “No one should have to fear for their life because of their sexuality or color of their skin. We must confront this hate.” Asked about that comment, she had no answer…

by Media Editors:  The platforms of Senators lowlife-Kamala Harris and Elizabeth dinky-Warren include slavery reparations, according to Fox News. “Reparations would involve the federal government’s acknowledgment of the ongoing legacy of slavery and discrimination and providing payment to those affected. Policy experts say it could cost several trillion dollars.” National Review’s Kevin D. Williamson construes reparations as lacking substance: “The proposals are not intended to mitigate evil. They are intended to make Elizabeth dinky-Warren … or lowlife-Kamala Harris, or Kirsten Gillibrand … president of the United States.” Notably, lowlife-Harris this week met with race hustler scumbag-Al Sharpton.

“House Democrats pushed ahead Friday with a measure that seeks to terminate President Donald Trump’s emergency declaration that he issued last week in order to circumvent Congress and build his wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. … Once it passes the House, the measure would be sent to the Senate, where unlike most pieces of legislation, GOP leaders could not block it from reaching the floor. The federal law requires that the Senate take up the House-passed resolution within 18 days. The resolution is considered ‘privileged’ — which means it would not be subject to a filibuster and require 60 votes to move forward. Instead, it would simply require 51 votes to pass. If all 47 Democrats were to support the measure, they would need only four Republican defections to pass it.” (NBC News)
.
“The U.S. is not completely pulling out of Syria just yet,” NPR reports. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders on Thursday stated, “A small peacekeeping group of about 200 will remain in Syria for a period of time.” NPR adds, “A senior administration official … [explained] that the decision to leave some troops in Syria was intended to encourage France and Britain to also keep troops there.”
.
Via Variety: “Jussie Smollett is back on the set of ‘Empire’ in Chicago following his release from police custody on Thursday… Smollett was released after posting bail in Chicago after police charged him with staging what was originally reported as a hate crime last month. He was originally intended to film throughout this week on the Fox series, but his role was dramatically reduced in light of his ongoing legal troubles.” It goes without saying that his role should be reduced entirely.
.
According to ABC News, “The father of a so-called ‘ISIS bride,’ who was born and raised in the U.S. and now wants to return home with her son, has sued the Trump administration after it declared that she is not a citizen and has no right to enter the country.” Former prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy warned about this possibility yesterday in National Review, where he reasoned, “I would strongly urge the Justice Department to file an indictment against Muthana for treason, material support to terrorism, and any other readily provable offenses. She is less likely to press the issues of citizenship and right to enter if she understands that she faces prosecution and, very likely, lengthy imprisonment if she succeeds in coming here.”
.
“North Carolina officials on Thursday ordered that a second election take place in the state’s ninth district after the initially victorious Republican candidate conceded that the first vote was tainted by an illegal get-out-the-vote effort indirectly backed by his campaign. The state board of elections voted unanimously to hold a second election after being presented with evidence that Leslie McCrae McDowless, a contractor hired by Republican Mark Harris’s campaign, ordered his volunteers to go door-to-door collecting absentee ballots and, in some cases, filling them out in favor of Harris.” (National Review)
.
“A veteran IRS employee has been charged with leaking the banking records of President Trump’s onetime personal attorney, Michael Cohen, to Michael Avenatti, the attorney for adult film star Stormy Daniels,” Fox News reports. Regardless of Cohen’s guilt, this is unbecoming. The IRS’s targeting of conservatives was merely a glimpse into what remains a toxic, scandalous environment.
.
Cue the outrage mob: “Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee wore Confederate uniform in 1980 yearbook photo,” headlines The Washington Post. The best line of the story? “A Lee spokesman added that the governor has never worn blackface.”
.
And since we’re on the subject of outrage… “Vandals targeted a statute of General Lee outside a North Carolina museum in what the museum curator believes was an act of mistaken identity,” The Daily Wire reports. “The statue defaced was that of General William C. Lee — who fought during World War II — not of General Robert E. Lee, the Confederate general during the Civil War whose monuments are now being vandalized.” Oops.

Regulatory commissars: “A coal-fired power plan that’s operated for more than 100 years is shutting down, and its owners say scumbag/liar-nObama-era regulations are to blame. Alabama Power’s Plant Gorgas will officially close in April. It’s only the latest coal industry casualty, driven by Environmental Protection Agency regulations and market forces. … Federal regulations for handling coal ash and wastewater made it too costly to continue operating Plant Gorgas.” (The Daily Caller)

by Dustin Koellhoffer
{ipatriot.com} ~ scumbag/liar-nObama Democrats and their RINO allies passed a budget bill that basically paved the road to America in gold for illegal aliens. They attempted to strip President Trump of any authority for securing the border... President Trump immediately declared a national emergency to finish the wall and increase border security to levels  necessary to stop the illegal immigrant invasion, drug and human sex trafficking, and the crimes that uninvited foreign invaders bring to the United States. The leftist media immediately slandered him as violating the law and Democrats called for riots and an insurrection to overthrow him. When scumbag/'liar-nObama violated laws and the restrictions Republicans tried to put on him to stop him from shutting down coal mines and doing other harm to America, he declared he had a pen and a phone with which to dictate.  Barack Hussein scumbag/liar-nO put almost a million coal miners out of work by closing down American coal mines, thereby forcing states and cities to import coal from China. When President Trump undid this treachery, scumbag/liar-nObama claimed credit for improving the economy. What did the lamestream media do? They praised scumbag/liar-nObama for his dictatorial tyranny, and again for his lies. In another piece of backward logic, a reporter actually asked President Trump if “voices on the right” were forcing his policies? To this he replied with the truth – that it is his policies that draw those voices from the right in support of him. The media continues to slander American geniuses like Trump and Rush Limbaugh while giving credit to their own charlatans, frauds, and hateful liars working against American citizens. As Democrats turn more and more to socialism the truth that socialism is the ideology of stealing from those who work for a living is brought more and more into the light...

{dailycaller.com} ~ The special counsel’s investigation could wrap up as soon as next week with the delivery of a confidential report to the Justice Department, CNN is reporting... According to the network, Attorney General William Barr is preparing to receive a report from special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller, who took over an FBI investigation of the Trump campaign on May 17, 2017. Barr, who was confirmed to office last week, will determine soon after receiving dirty cop-Mueller’s report what information will be provided to Congress. The exact end date for the dirty cop-Mueller probe has been a longstanding source of speculation in Washington, D.C. In December, NBC News reported that dirty cop-Mueller & Co. planned to deliver a report by mid-February. But a delay in Barr’s confirmation may have contributed to a delay in handing over the report...

by Bethany Blankley
{freedomoutpost.com} ~ Central to the controversy surrounding the anti-Semitic and disparaging remarks about Jews and Israel made by the newly elected some argue, fraudulently Somali-born Congresswoman from Minnesota, Ilhan Omar... is the distinction between two laws: Islamic law and the U.S. Constitution. It is unlikely that Omar would present a history of making such claims if she were not an adherent of Islamic ideology rooted in the Qur’an. The Qur’an is the basis for Islamic law, just as the U.S. Constitution is the basis for U.S. law. Discussions about Omar’s apology are ongoing; numerous elected officials have requested House Speaker Nancy Pulosi to remove her from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. A petition on Change.org has more than 178,891 signatures calling for Omar’s removal as of Feb. 19; the number has grown by more than 10,000 signatures daily. Another petition demands Omar be censured for her “repeated history of false, derogatory and hateful communications that go well beyond the bounds of acceptable discourse….” S he should be removed from being a representative.

The Illinois Democrat said although he has read the legislation, he does not know “what in the heck” it is. “At this point, I can’t tell you,” he said. “I’ve read it and I’ve reread it, and I asked Ed Markey, ‘What in the heck is this?'” “He says, ‘It is an aspiration. It’s a resolution aspiration. What we’re going to do is ask the Republican leader, ‘What’s your position on global warming?’ while we’re at it. ‘Shouldn’t you come out on the record and say if human activity is having an impact on our environment?’ Let’s get on the record on both sides,” scumbag-Durbin continued...

by edstatewatcher.com:   White House deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters, who regularly defended the administration’s economic policies, plans to leave in April to work for Edelman Public Relations...  Walters is the only White House spokesman besides Press Secretary Sarah Sanders to remain on the job since the first day of Donald Trump’s presidency. She joined the White House staff after working with former press secretary Sean Spicer at the Republican National Committee and concentrated on economic issues, including the 2017 tax overhaul and trade negotiations with China. Walters said it was “time for a change” and that she was excited by the opportunity at Edelman. “It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the president in this administration,” Walters said in a statement. White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney praised her “savvy, sophistication, and street smarts” in a statement. Sanders said Walters “helped us thrive every day and her steadfastness is matchless.”...   http://redstatewatcher.com/article.asp?id=147554

Californians Want to Flee Their 
Socialist 'Paradise'
TjiPaaT16AWudUJdC_CbndA9IDaG2IY7Z_vdR1t8WKvgMS7Pf4gz3qYo92mtV57UQFNJqzJs07tWxoJqEu_Q9r3RYBIkzhV68OI6ApP3CA8rLMlAgCmcp4WgH3Crsj2jVVQqnkZ9YoTRsl1h8MZrV7mXEDR2_Yv_-1wdcGk=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
by Culture Beat:  The problem with California is Californians — at least that’s what the latest survey data indicates. According to the 2019 Edelman Trust Barometer, 53% of California residents are considering moving out of state due in part to high housing costs, homelessness, and an overwhelming belief that the state’s best days are behind it. But to whom are Californians looking to solve these problems their own voting for leftists has caused? Well, 53% believe it is the federal government’s job to solve California’s problems. Sorry, wrong answer.
 

Like New York Gov. Andrew evil-Cuomo shifting blame to President Donald Trump and the Republicans for ending the federal government subsidizing high SALT deductions in tax heavy states, too many California residents are blaming the feds for the very problems their local politicians have created. As Stacey Lennox, writing for The Resurgent, observes, “Judging by the responses, it is as if citizens of this state by and large see themselves as victims. Like they have completely forgotten they put the yahoos in office who have made the policies that have caused housing prices, homelessness and other problems to skyrocket.”

The other entity Californians believe owes it to the state to contribute more is business — you know, the biggest drivers of the state’s economy. According to 63% of Californians, businesses need to do more to improve the state, not their leftist elected officials. Some 59% believe corporations need to spend more on community issues. An astounding 67% want tech-industry business leaders to do more for the state, and 68% see the tech industry as not regulated enough, with 59% wanting regulations increased.

For all those conservative Californians who suffer under the increasingly socialist nightmare, you have our sincerest sympathy and we lay out the welcome mat to relocate to conservative states where individual freedom and limited government is still prized. But to all you Californians voting Democrat — you made your bed; now lie in it.  ~The Patriot Post

scumbag-Adam Schiff Lies Again, Says There is “Compelling Evidence” of Collusion
 
{patriotnewsdaily.com} ~ One might have hoped that when Rep. scumbag-Adam Schiff (D-CA) took control of the House Intelligence Committee, he would have recognized the weight and responsibility that role bestowed on him as a congressman... As ranking member under Devin Nunes, one could almost excuse scumbag-Schiff’s fanciful tales, which he spun on TV whenever he got the chance. Nunes was determined to run a clean investigation free from Democrat-inspired conspiracy theories, and we understand that made things difficult on a partisan hack like scumbag-Schiff. He had to vent, and what better place to do that than CNN and MSNBC? But once you assume control of the committee, you have to take your job seriously. That job, contrary to scumbag-Schiff’s assumptions, is not to be the lead witch-hunter for the DNC. It’s not to set the stage for a Democratic victory in 2020. It is to run an unbiased, impartial committee for the purposes of providing oversight of our federal intelligence agencies. It is to the country’s misfortune that scumbag-Schiff thinks he’s no more than an attack dog for Nancy Pulosi, and it is to his committee’s shame that he’s still out there telling lies on CNN. scumbag-Schiff was on the network this Sunday, telling Dana Bash of “State of the Union” that he disagreed with Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr’s assessment earlier this month that there was no direct evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. “Chairman Burr must have a different word for it,” scumbag-Schiff said. Referencing the Trump Tower meeting, George Papadopoulos, and Michael Flynn, scumbag-Schiff said there was plenty of evidence of collusion. “You can see evidence in plain sight on the issue of collusion, pretty compelling evidence,” scumbag-Schiff said. “There is a difference between seeing evidence of collusion and being able to prove a criminal conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt.”... Show us the prove, scumbag.  http://patriotnewsdaily.com/adam-schiff-lies-again-says-there-is-compelling-evidence-of-collusion/

{dailysignal.com} ~ The push for a border barrier marks President Donald Trump’s fourth declaration of a national emergency—about a third as many as his three immediate predecessors in their two terms... The number of declared emergencies puts Trump on a par with Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. President Gerald Ford, who signed the 1976 National Emergencies Act, did not declare an emergency under it. His successor, Jimmy Carter, made two such declarations during his single term—one of which is still in effect. In all, 32 presidential declarations of a national emergency remain in effect, counting Trump’s action Friday, while 21 expired or were canceled. The overwhelming majority of national emergencies involved either blocking access to U.S.-held assets for bad actors on the world stage or preventing financial transactions with those countries or with international entities and individuals... The Dems have completely lost their marbles.  https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/02/19/how-many-times-trumps-predecessors-declared-a-national-emergency/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTVdJMk9XWXdNakl3TUdVeiIsInQiOiIrWHhGMEJ5RDRjU09KT0VkZTF1WktnOFRyb2QwUTF0MkRhUDhYSlBXSEVqNW9FNUNNTTZpa0lXUEhLbDdiMnkwNVwvQ0ZHcW4wa09WaVVzU0N5ck5FSXdGVGc4U3duek9UdE5cL0J2eXJscmplZ3lyaWtReXE5cnRcL1UxcjNRRHVGaSJ9

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ A constitutional provision prohibiting the imposition of excessive fines extends beyond the federal government to states and cities, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday... The high court's unanimous decision expanding the Eighth Amendment's excessive fines clause delivered a victory to an Indiana man who challenged the state’s seizure of his $42,000 Land Rover. The ruling means in states and cities — like the feds — the amount of the forfeiture must bear some relationship to the gravity of the offense that it is designed to punish. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who returned to the bench for the first time since undergoing lung cancer surgery in December, wrote the opinion.“For good reason, the protection against excessive fines has been a constant shield throughout Anglo-American history: Exorbitant tolls undermine other constitutional liberties,” Ginsburg wrote. The justices heard oral arguments in the case in November, which raised the question of whether the Eighth Amendment’s excessive fines clause should be applied to the states under the 14th Amendment — the Reconstruction-era constitutional change broadly expanding citizenship rights. While the Bill of Rights originally applied only to the federal government  when enacted, the Supreme Court has since ruled that provisions of the Bill of Rights apply to the states under the 14th Amendment, with the exception of a few. In a 2010 case, the Supreme Court ruled the 14th Amendment prevents the states, as well as the federal government, from infringing on the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defense...

US Sends Destroyer to Black Sea After

by Jack Davis   
{westernjournal.com} ~ To prove that the United States has neither forgotten nor forgiven an incident in which Russia detained the crews of several Ukrainian ships last year... an American destroyer entered the Black Sea on Tuesday. “We’re showing solidarity,” Adm. James Foggo, commander of U.S. naval forces in Europe and Africa, said, according to the Washington Examiner. The guided-missile destroyer USS Donald Cook entered the Black Sea on Tuesday, Military Times reported. The destroyer, which had left the Black Sea last month, was followed by Russian ships, Stars and Stripes reported. Last November, Russian ships fired on three Ukrainian naval vessels as they sought to enter the Kerch Strait, a waterway that connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov. Russia then detained the sailors, claiming the ships violated Russian waters. The U.S. has rejected that claim. He focused upon the fact that Russia is still holding 24 Ukrainians. “Let me tell you, that irritates me to no end,” Foggo said. “They are uniformed Ukrainian sailors and officers and chiefs. They’re not criminals, and they are being charged under a criminal code. They should be protected under the Geneva Convention, which is why the United States and other NATO allies have come to the table and said, ‘Release them immediately,’ and they still continue to hold them...

{bizpacreview.com} ~ Writer/reporter Luke Thompson divulged last week that Rep. commie-Alexander Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, set up her boyfriend, Riley Roberts, with an official house.gov email address, noting that he was “drawing a salary on the taxpayer’s dime.”...  The self-avowed democratic socialistic was quick to dispute that notion, responding to say Roberts was set with the email account to access her Google calendar, which may not be entirely within House rules, given that they don’t appear to be married — the haste in which commie-Ocasio-Cortez responded verified the accuracy of the boyfriend having a government email address. And Thompson is back this week with even more damning information regarding the alleged proletariat who claims to be fighting the political class. Information that, if true, says more about commie-Ocasio-Cortez adapting to the DC swamp than it does about her fighting it.Taking to Twitter, Thompson lays out a case where commie-Ocasio-Cortez’s boyfriend was paid $6,000 by a PAC owned by Saikat Chakrabarti, now her chief of staff, at a time “when her campaign was running out of money.” The PAC is affiliated with Justice Democrats, a collaboration between Chakrabarti and Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks, Thompson noted...  https://www.bizpacreview.com/2019/02/20/digging-reveals-suspicious-payments-to-aocs-boyfriend-began-during-campaign-as-more-damning-allegations-surface-725744

Border-Security Debate Highlights Need for Tactics
and Strategy

by Harold Hutchison:  When President Donald Trump signed the compromise spending legislation and then declared a national emergency, there was criticism from both the establishment wing of the Republican Party and from the conservative movement. To be honest, getting about a fifth of what he sought in funds for physical barriers on the U.S.-Mexico border was on the low end, but his critics from all sides miss some big points.

First of all, the situation on the border is arguably an emergency with national-security overtones. Brandon Darby, the Director of the Border and Cartel Chronicles Project from Breitbart News, noted that two cartels headquartered in Mexican cities on the Texas border have morphed into terrorist groups. Does anyone seriously think that the depredations of these cartels do not spill over into Texas?

Second, as The Heritage Foundation’s Conn Carroll stated, Trump was able to reprogram roughly $3.1 billion under two sections that did not require an emergency declaration. Another $3.6 billion will require the demonstration. But the funds from the budget and the $3.1 billion that didn’t require the declaration will be spent first. In other words, litigation will likely not halt progress immediately.

Third, given that Democrats vowed to not give one dollar for any barriers, and some went so far as to advocate abolishing  Immigration and Customs Enforcement, this bill is quite a win in a tactical sense — Trump has $1.3 billion from Congress. Not all of the 1,960 miles of border between the United States and Mexico need man-made barriers. Nature has provided obstacles in some parts. Others already have barriers (but it never hurts to update them).

In this sense, Trump was smart to get what he could. Future continuing resolutions will likely include other funding for physical barriers. To paraphrase a saying, 55 miles here, 55 miles there, and soon you’re securing the entire 1,960 miles of border between the United States and Mexico. Essentially, Trump used the shutdown to show the general public how serious he is on the issue — and he was able to secure some seed money for physical barriers.

The compromise (which passed by veto-proof margins) was not all he wanted. Those who think he should have vetoed the bill have shown the same inability to count that marred the 2013 scumbag/liar-nObamaCare shutdown. One reason is that Trump has been hampered by the fact that there are substantial divisions amongst the right-of-center coalition that makes up the GOP on this issue.

The more libertarian wing sees no problem with legal immigration and little with illegalimmigration. They’d set the limits higher. Other conservatives want to cut back on even legal immigration. Moderates wince at the extreme rhetoric from the hard-liners on this issue, which gives the media enough to hand the Left’s claims of racism across all those who insist on Rule of Law vis-à-vis the border. Proponents of more border security argue that moderates are ignoring the very real harm done by an unsecured border.

It goes without saying that seeking a secure border is not proof of racism. Nor is wanting to deal with MS-13. Nor is wanting to stop human trafficking and drug smugglers. At least that’s what an honest media would be pointing out. Alas, we do not have an honest media. For the most part, with the exception of Fox News, some smaller outlets, and talk radio, the media is pretty much parroting the Left’s talking points. Right now, the Leftmedia-Democratic National Committee team is painting everyone who does take border security and enforcement of immigration laws as racist, with the help of the comments by Rep. Steve King.

But this went beyond the tactical fighting; it’s also about having a good strategy. As The Patriot Post team noted in 2016, Trump has shown much more tactical and strategic competence than many conservatives. We’ve seen that emerge in the debate over border security. President Trump has managed to draw some Democrats into an extreme position against secure borders — a strategic move that will only help him and his Republicans in 2020.

How extreme have the Democrats become? Well, they not only want to abolish ICE but some talked about zeroing out the entire Department of Homeland Security. This included the Coast Guard, which they held up as victims during the current shutdown. Others are literally talking about demolishing the physical barriers already in place. This extremism may end up giving Republicans something to unite against on the issue.

Here’s what many conservatives struggle with: Principles and policy objectives are nice, but to implement the former and to reach the latter requires strategy and tactics. But often good strategies and tactics require compromises — something too many conservatives have not taken to heart. Too many view the Barry Goldwater approach — a principled stand — as a good one, even if it means a massive defeat. This Goldwater envy has done much to hurt the ability of conservatives to win elections in a hostile media climate.

Trump, on the other hand, has shown what good strategy and tactics can accomplish on immigration, one of the thorniest issues in America. If Republicans and conservatives learn from this example, they can avoid the trap Goldwater fell into and, as a result, they could fare far better in future elections.  ~The Patriot Post

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ There are two diametrically opposed lines of thinking about Trump-Russia special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's investigation... The first is that he is winding down his probe and is unlikely to allege that the Trump campaign and Russia conspired to fix the 2016 presidential election. The second is that he is still going strong, with the biggest charges, perhaps including the fabled collusion allegation, yet to come. Which is correct? No one outside the dirty cop-Mueller office knows. There are data points, or at least tea leaves, pointing in all directions. But whatever the reality is, there is at this moment a sense that something is imminent from dirty cop-Mueller, and that sense is shaping Trump-Russia politics. House Democrats are revving up Trump investigations, and one of the questions they face is whether to try to replicate the dirty cop-Mueller probe or rely on the special counsel's findings when it comes time to consider impeaching the president. If the House carries out a full-scale, retracing-dirty cop-Mueller's-steps investigation, it will be led by Intelligence Committee Chairman scumbag-Adam Schiff. In recent days, scumbag-Schiff has vowed that his new Trump-Russia probe will cover material he says dirty cop-Mueller — who has far more investigative power than the House — might not have been able to examine. Now, scumbag-Schiff is taking an extra step. He is refusing to say if he will accept dirty cop-Mueller's judgment, should dirty cop-Mueller issue a report that does not allege collusion. "If dirty cop-Mueller finds that there was no direct collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, will you accept that?" CNN's Dana Bash asked scumbag-Schiff on Sunday...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/byron-york-much-talk-that-something-is-up-with-mueller-too-bad-nobody-knows?utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_02/19/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief

{foxnews.com} ~ Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday an Alabama-born woman who joined ISIS but now wants to return home with the 18-month-son she had with her ISIS husband will not be admitted back... into the United States, saying she is not a U.S. citizen anymore. “Ms. Hoda Muthana is not a U.S. citizen and will not be admitted into the United States,” Pompeo said in a statement. “She does not have any legal basis, no valid U.S. passport, no right to a passport, nor any visa to travel to the United States. We continue to strongly advise all U.S. citizens not to travel to Syria.” Muthana, 24, has pleaded with officials to let her back into the U.S. following her recent escape from ISIS and capture by Kurdish forces. She is being held in a refugee camp in northeast Syria and told The Guardian in an interview that her last four years with the terrorist group have been a traumatizing experience where “we starved and we literally ate grass." “I would tell them please forgive me for being so ignorant, and I was really young and ignorant and I was 19 when I decided to leave,” she told the newspaper when asked if she had a message for American officials. Muthana first made headlines in 2015 after it emerged that she left her family in Birmingham, Alabama to join the bloodthirsty terrorist group...  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/alabama-born-isis-wife-will-not-be-admitted-to-the-us-pompeo-says

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ “Things have changed so much that I often feel like a stranger in my own country.” This was a sentiment I encountered at every Trump rally I attended in 2015 and 2016... “When I was a kid,” 80-year-old Bob Garrett told me in Rock Hill, S.C., during the 2016 election, “it was really great to be an American, and it’s just disintegrated over the years. … It’s not the same America.” This sense of alienation from one's own country turned out to be one of the best predictors of Trump support. Compared to other white, working-class Americans, Trump’s working-class supporters were 3.5 times more likely to feel like a stranger in their own land, a survey by pollster PRRI found. That’s an extraordinary correlation, stronger than almost any other indicator PRRI could find. Even support for deporting illegal immigrants was less correlated with Trump support. It tells us something not just about Trump supporters, but about what ails so much of working-class America...   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/how-the-collapse-of-communities-gave-us-trump?utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_02/19/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief

Why Is Israel’s Foreign Minister Attacking 
Poland After Their Stand Against Iran?

{jewishjournal.com/} ~ Just a week ago, I penned a column extolling the miraculous effect of witnessing a conference against Iran – co-hosted by the United States and Poland... take place on the very streets of Warsaw, whose ghetto has become synonymous with the Nazi Holocaust. In our generation, too, yet another evil enemy of the Jews has stood up with plans to annihilate them. Having personally heard Vice President Mike Pence declare Iranian intentions to enact a “new Holocaust” before delegates from across Europe and the Arab world — whose own leaders have not shied away from drawing on the obvious parallels between Ayatollah Khamenei and their Nazi forbearers — I felt that, at last, the world might finally have understood that threats leveled against the Jewish people are not to be ignored.  That day wouldn’t pass before its cathartic effect was interrupted; now, by a small scandal that erupted from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s supposed remarks reported by the Jerusalem Post that “the Poles cooperated with the Nazis.” These were not the prime minister’s words. What he did say was that “a not insignificant number of Poles had cooperated with the Nazis,” which means something entirely different. The Jerusalem Post corrected their story and the prime minister’s office released a statement reaffirming  that “PM Netanyahu spoke of Poles and not the Polish people or the country of Poland.” Still, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki chose to cancel his trip to Israel this week to the Visegrad Group summit of Central European powers, set to be hosted in Jerusalem, dispatching his foreign minister instead...

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ A federal judge on Tuesday dealt a blow to President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama's presidential center in Chicago by allowing a lawsuit against the project to continue... Protect Our Parks, Inc., along with conservation and historical groups, sued last May to stop the center from being built on historic, lakefront parkland in Chicago. The scumbag/liar-nObama Foundation is trying to build a $500 million presidential center on that land, and opponents are trying to keep the project out of Jackson Park, which is nearly as old as Central Park in New York City. “We are not opposing construction of the scumbag/liar-nObama Presidential Center, as long as it’s not in historic Jackson Park,” said Herbert Caplan, Protect Our Parks founder. That group and other opponents are trying to stop the scumbag/liar-nObama Foundation from building a 230-feet-tall center in the park. And on Tuesday, Judge John Robert Blakey of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois rejected a motion by the city of Chicago to dismiss the lawsuit, allowing it to continue. The scumbag/liar-nObama Presidential Center is being proposed on federal land that was deemed by the government in 2012 to be inappropriate for construction. The groups said the foundation could have purchased private land or gone about getting public land differently, but chose to lock down 20 acres of Jackson Park on Chicago's south side...

by Nate Jackson:  Surprising exactly no one, commie-Bernie Sanders threw his hat in the ring Tuesday for the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination. “We began the political revolution in the 2016 campaign,” he said, “and now it’s time to move that revolution forward.”

Narrowly defeated by scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton and DNC shenanigans in 2016, the Vermont senator is the guy who made socialism “cool” again. Medicare for all? $15-an-hour minimum wage? commie-Bernie’s ideas, and pretty much every 2020 Democrat is running on them. In fact, the Democrat Party has gotten to the point that, as Mark Alexander wrote in 2016, “The distinction between ‘progressive Democrat’ and ‘Socialist’ is now largely in name only — a distinction without a difference.”

What does commie-Sanders bring to the table? The Wall Street Journal rightly points out that he has “a loyal group of supporters and arguably the strongest online fundraising machine in Democratic politics.” commie-Sanders won 22 states during the 2016 primaries and raised more than $230 million. Columnist David Harsanyi argues, “commie-Bernie Sanders has had more national success than any Dem running. In a different kind of primary, he might have been the 2016 candidate. As a socialist, he also represents the future of his party. Why shouldn’t he run?”

Good question, and there are a couple of answers. Unlike 2016, commie-Sanders isn’t competing against a very unlikeable and scandal-ridden scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton; he’ll be vying for the socialist vote with the far more charismatic lineup of Elizabeth dinky-Warren, lowlife-Kamala Harris, and scumbag-Cory Booker, among others — commie-Sanders is the 12th Democrat to announce a run.

commie-Sanders is also a 77-year-old white guy, which is pretty much the worst thing a person can be by today’s leftist standards. Thus we think NPR, of all places, has it right: “commie-Sanders could be a victim of his own success.” His (terrible) ideas have captivated Democrats, but he’s too old and too white and too male to see them through himself.
