Pamela Geller: Robert DeNiro denounces America during visit to sharia dictatorship

Ezra Levant, Rebel Commander, Rebel Media:

On last night’s show, author and activist Pamela Geller joined me to share her thoughts on Robert DeNiro denouncing the United States as “backwards” during a visit to the United Arab Emirates.

The United Arab Emirates is not a democracy, women don’t have equal rights, religious minorities do not have the same rights of Muslims, and foreign workers are brought in to work as slaves. Deniro thinking this was an appropriate place to insult his country is only further proof of the Hollywood left’s hypocrisy.

WATCH my interview with Pamela to see why I think this might be proof DeNiro is in financial troubling and becoming desperate. https://www.therebel.media/pamela_geller_robert_deniro_denounces_america_in_a_sharia_dictatorship

Grassley Slaps Down Do-Nothing Sessions,

Congress Writes The Laws – Execute Them 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ Attorney General Jeff Sessions has completely ignored the corruption in critical departments, the Department of Justice and the FBI, which he oversees... He has chosen instead to focus on mandating severe penalties and strict enforcement for the crimes of average and low income Americans, those who peddle drugs. While they are worthy of attention what he’s ignoring and effectively helping to cover up is much worse. He’s misdirecting DOJ attention and America’s resources are being squandered. The American people want the liar-nObama/liar-Clinton/scum-Soros Mafia investigated and prosecuted. For some reasons Sessions has refused to do so and decided to play tough guy on the common people over marijuana and other street drugs instead. That’s a reality that has caught the attention of Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley, particularly after reading a letter from the empty suit occupying the office of Attorney General. Sessions went after the sentencing reform efforts of the Judiciary Committee, which Grassley chairs, calling them a “grave error.”  That charge didn’t sit too well with Grassley, who, after reading Sessions’ letter, aired his response on Twitter...Its about time.

U.S. Needs to Develop Hypersonic Weapons,

Criticizes ‘Self-Limiting’ Missile Treaties

by Paul McLeary

{ news.usni.org } ~ The head of the U.S. Pacific Command said Wednesday that the United States is hampered in keeping pace with China’s ground-based missiles... thanks to treaties it has signed to limit its stockpiles. In particular, the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty between the United States and Russia is “self-limiting,” Adm. Harry Harris told the House Armed Services Committee, particularly since “over 90 percent of China’s ground-based missiles would violate the treaty.” The Cold War-era pact bans nuclear and conventional ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges of 500 to 5,500 kilometers. Both Moscow and Washington accuse the other of violating the treaty...  https://news.usni.org/2018/02/14/pacom-harris-u-s-needs-develop-hypersonic-weapons-criticizes-self-limiting-missile-treaties?utm_source=USNI+News&utm_campaign=d90e8dd4fd-USNI_NEWS_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0dd4a1450b-d90e8dd4fd-231491269&mc_cid=d90e8dd4fd&mc_eid=3999f18767

scum-Adam Schiff Confirms Democratic 

Memo Contains ‘Sources and Methods’

by RICHARD POLLOCK

{ dailycaller.com } ~ White House problems with the Democrats’ “rebuttal memo” on the surveillance of Trump associates are genuine... and the document could disclose “sources and methods,” California Rep. scum-Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence confirmed. “We need to go through that and identify that which remains classified and would implicate sources and methods or investigative interests,” he said at a newsmaker’s breakfast meeting on Wednesday sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.  His comments constituted a direct rebuke to his party’s top boss in the House of Representatives, Minority Leader Nancy Pulosi...  http://dailycaller.com/2018/02/14/adam-schiff-memo/

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ On a Monday night (February 12th, 2018) episode of Tucker Carlson a democrat member of the House Intelligence committee said... something interesting that almost everyone missed. Appearing on the show to joust with Tucker, HPSCI member Eric Swalwell stated: “the House Intel Committee has not interviewed a single witness in over a month” This statement is rather enlightening.

by Salena Zito 
{ jewishworldreview.com } ~ When House Minority Leader Nancy Pulosi made history last week for the longest speech delivered on the House floor, she deserved praise for two things: her stamina in the eight-hour talk fest and her ability to do it in 4-inch spike heels.

But politically, she likely did little more than create another attack ad for Republicans to run against Democratic candidates around the country.

Pulosi's speech, mostly stories about "Dreamers" — the people who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children by their parents and are caught in a political firestorm between both parties — was red meat for the Democratic base. But perorations on behalf of immigrants who are in the country illegally are unlikely to excite the independents, and swing Republicans and centrist Democrats whose votes will determine control of Congress.

Similarly tone-deaf were her warnings last year that the Republican tax-cut bill is the apocalypse. "It is the end of the world," Pulosi told reporters after the bill passed. "This is Armageddon."

And calling the $1,000 bonuses that more than 3 million American workers have received over the past few weeks as a result of the bill "crumbs" was also not helpful.

A $1,000 bonus is not a crumb, and neither is an extra $100 per paycheck. As Democrats were supposed to spend their week fine-tuning their message at their party retreat, they had to face some hard truths about the face of the Party. Pulosi is out of touch with people who live outside of her San Francisco district and Washington, D.C.

Most of the people who live in the more than 100 House districts the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is targeting are happy with their crumbs, don't see the connection between immigrants who are in the country illegally and a budget deal, couldn't afford Pulosi's high heels anyway and, so far, don't see Armageddon on the horizon.

No one thing or person moves the needle more for Republicans than House Minority Leader Pulosi. Place her in a head-to-head focus group against Trump in a congressional swing district currently held by a Republican and Trump comes out on top every time.

That just hurts Democratic candidates.

This is why Conor Lamb, the Democratic nominee in the special election for Pennsylvania's 18th Congressional District, said he would like to see Democrats replace Pulosi as their leader.

Lamb is no conservative. He's pro-abortion rights and believes there needs to be a broader discussion of gun control. Yet he faces enough headwinds in this Republican-leaning district, and so, he had to moderate somewhere to help him win. Distancing himself from Pulosi was the most obvious choice.

Still, the GOP is running ads in the district, placing Lamb side by side with Pulosi on the issues.

Democrats have a decent chance of taking back the majority in the House, or at least making it close. The signs of a wave are percolating but not quite clear. One of their biggest obstacles is Nancy Pulosi's unpopularity among voters outside San Francisco.

As one Democratic strategist working on several House races put it: "We cannot continue to turn people off. The door just started to open for us, and if we don't get our messaging right, it is going to shut in our face before it ever opened."

Cursing $1,000 crumbs, declaring Armageddon and standing in heels isn't going to open that door.

House Moving On “Four Pillar” Bill to 

Protect Americans, Call Dems’ DACA Bluff 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ House Republicans are moving forward on an immigration bill crafted by Judiciary Committee chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA)... Homeland Security Chairman Mike McCaul (R-TX), and Reps Raul Labrador (R-ID) and Martha McSally (R-AZ). Speaker Ryan promised the House Freedom Caucus he would bring the measure to the floor if it garnered enough votes for passage and that process was underway Wednesday as votes were being whipped. Border Security and putting the interests of American citizens first are the bulk of the legislation, with an accommodation made in the form of citizenship for the DACA illegal aliens as a measure to acquire necessary Democrat support in the Senate...   https://rickwells.us/house-four-pillar-daca/ 

'Under the radar': Dems

{ wnd.com } ~ There’s something curious happening across America – quietly and completely under the radar... and it could be a sign Democrats are gaining momentum just nine months before the midterm election. During his Wednesday show, talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh expressed alarm at a trend showing the Democratic Party is winning elections across America. And rather than jubilant celebration, he said, there’s an eerie silence from Democrats. “Something very quietly is happening out there,” Limbaugh said. “It’s not being touted, and it’s a little bothersome that it isn’t being touted. The Democrats are showing remarkable discipline here in not touting what is very quietly happening out there. And what is very quietly happening out there is that the Democrats are winning elections. They have recently begun to win elections. They are winning special elections. They are winning local and state elections...   http://www.wnd.com/2018/02/under-the-radar-dems-quietly-sweep-elections-across-u-s/

The Next Budget Boondoggle

by Paul Albaugh:  President Donald Trump on Monday released his $4.4 trillion budget proposal for 2019. As The Daily Signal adds, Trump “is proposing a 10-year spending plan that never produces a balanced budget, and increases deficit spending by $7.2 trillion over the next decade.” Did someone say “Tea Party”? No, apparently not.

          Most conservatives have longed for the day when our elected officials would cut taxes, rein in spending and produce a balanced budget. We will have to long some more because from the looks of Trump’s proposal and the actions of Republicans in Congress, the days of working for any semblance of fiscal sanity are past. Instead of reducing spending, Trump’s latest proposal would add to the national debt even more because it makes little effort to control deficit spending.
          “Talk about an afterthought,” says The Wall Street Journal. “Congress just passed a two-year budget outline that supersedes nearly everything Mr. Trump is proposing.” Indeed, presidential budget proposals never pass Congress, but they provide a guide to the administration’s priorities.
          Among the many problems in Washington, one of the biggest is that there are too few fiscally conservative politicians. And it’s not just Democrats who have a spending problem — it’s the majority of Republicans in Congress as well. And, oh, by the way, the GOP currently has the majority in the House and the Senate. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul perhaps said it best when he declared, “When the Democrats are in power, Republicans appear to be the conservative party, but when Republicans are in power, it seems there is no conservative party.”
          The budget Trump signed last week adds $320 billion in spending to an already bloated budget. Republicans caved to just about every one of the Democrats’ spending proposals, which will of course add to the national debt. Trump’s 2019 budget proposal sets a goal of $3 trillion in spending cuts, but it doesn’t balance the budget because those cuts aren’t cuts — they’re reductions in anticipated growth. Trump is counting on an improving economy due to the tax cuts to help with narrowing the gap. Thus his administration assumes that by cutting funds in certain government programs but spending more in others, the debt will shrink relative to the economy. That has not worked out well in the past.
          Republicans have campaigned for years about cutting taxes, cutting spending and balancing the budget. So far we’ve seen action on the first plank, but little on the other two. Of course, Donald Trump did not campaign as a small government conservative — he campaigned as a businessman, a deal maker who could “drain the swamp.”
          For example, Trump’s two budget proposals keep his campaign promises to not touch Social Security and Medicare, but those programs account for an enormous part of the U.S. budget and are not sustainable. As the Journal notes, “Look at ‘payments for individuals,’ which encompass such income transfers as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and food stamps, among other things. This category was 47.7% of outlays in 1989 and has steadily climbed to reach an estimated 69.2% in 2019.”
          To be sure, there’s a big difference between food stamps and Social Security, but that’s astounding — nearly 70% of the budget is straight up income redistribution.
          Still, seniors in particular view Social Security and Medicare, not without reason, as something they are due and that shouldn’t be messed with because they paid into the system for decades. Despite the fact, however, that both programs are funded by today’s workers, and that the fiscal future for these government programs looking very bad, people who pay in don’t want the government intervening to “fix” it, because most realize that government fixes usually turn into greater problems. Trump knows this too.
          That leads to the primary factor here. Most voters — from both major political parties — just don’t care about the budget or deficit spending. The issue doesn’t even crack the top 10 list of concerns for most voters. Most voters despise politicians and during election years cry out for smaller government. But when elected officials start talking about spending cuts for this or that program, many of their constituents cry out for the program to remain in place — or demand that more funds be allocated for the particular program.
          Washington politicos know this, which is why both parties, particularly the “centrists” on both sides of the aisle push, pull and compromise on each other’s principles to spend money on pet projects that they think will benefit the majority of their constituents get the most votes. The focus becomes not on fiscal restraint but on pleasing constituents so that those in power can remain in power. The end result, as we have witnessed time and time again, is more of the same.
          That’s why getting a balanced budget passed or actually reducing federal deficit spending may not ever happen because in the end neither party cares enough about the deficit enough to cut money from their favorite programs. Unfortunately, we will continue to get more of the same until the old guard politicians from both parties who have clung to their power for so long are voted out of office and replaced with people who understand the importance of constitutional government run with fiscal restraint.

Trump administration 

plans to demolish FBI building

by Leslie Eastman

{ legalinsurrection.com } ~ One would not be faulted for wondering if the FBI’s apparent role in Dossier Gate led the federal government to amend plans for the agency’s offices... The Trump administration jettisoned a long-standing plan to build a new FBI headquarters in Maryland or Virginia in favor of  demolishing the current building and replacing it with a new facility at the same address. The proposal is a dramatic about-face from the stance the government took under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack liar-nObama. For years, the General Services Administration, which oversees federal real estate, had insisted to lawmakers and the public that the FBI required a suburban Washington campus where it could consolidate 11,000 FBI personnel in a modern and secure facility...  https://legalinsurrection.com/2018/02/trump-administration-plans-to-demolish-fbi-building/

Democrats Overplay Their Hand With Extreme DACA Demands 

by Louis DeBroux:  The current immigration debate is surreal, worthy of a chapter in a Lewis Carrol novel, where logic is turned upside down and words have no meaning whatsoever because they mean what their utterers want them to mean in that moment.

          The current crisis du jour is the pending end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as “DACA,” through which Barack liar-nObama granted protection against deportation for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens.
          In 2010, with Democrats firmly in control of Congress, liar-nObama faced immense pressure to push amnesty for millions of illegals. At first,  liar-nObama rightly recognized the limits of his power, stating, “I am not king. I can’t do these things just by myself.” In March 2011, he reiterated that position, saying, “With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that’s just not the case.” In 2012, desperate for Hispanic voters to bail him out at the ballot box, liar-nObama did an about-face and announced the implementation of the DACA program.
          Of course, Democrats never allow the truth to ruin a political narrative, so despite liar-nObama’s confession that DACA is unconstitutional, and despite the courts concurring, Democrats now claim President Donald Trump is a heartless racist for ending a program that liar-nObama had no right to implement. And two activist judges have issued orders to block Trump’s move.
          In actuality, Trump is being far more compassionate than the law requires. In exchange for securing the border and ending chain migration and the visa lottery, Trump is offering to grant not only amnesty but a path to citizenship for 1.8 million illegals — nearly three times more than signed up for liar-nObama’s DACA program.
          Such generosity has been met with extreme demands by Democrats: amnesty without border security, and a continuation of chain migration, further exploding the number of illegals entering the U.S.
          There is zero legal obligation for the U.S. to grant amnesty to any illegals, and even the claim of a moral obligation is tenuous at best. The blame lies solely with the parents of the illegals who were brought here as children in direct defiance of U.S. immigration laws.
          Regardless, because Americans are a compassionate people, there is widespread agreement that those illegal alien children who are truly here through no fault of their own, and who have known no other country, should be allowed to stay. Even Numbers USA, which advocates for strict limits on immigration, supports giving the so-called “Dreamers” legal status.
          It is important to delineate between the “Dreamers” under DACA and what might be called “DACA-plus.” The DACA recipients took advantage of liar-nObama’s (illegal) program and applied for the deferral, paid fees and were issued work permits that allowed them to be hired by American employers. There were about 800,000 who took advantage of the program, minus the approximately 110,000 who were deported for crimes, or failed to renew their green cards, or married U.S. citizens. These are the people Americans support allowing to stay.
          Not good enough, say Democrats. They cynically shut down the government last month to pressure Republicans to capitulate to their demands to expand the amnesty pool to include illegals who came here late in their teens, who were not born here, and for whom America is not their only home. It was a showdown they lost, but it was a revealing moment.
          What is particularly galling to many Americans is to have their compassion rewarded with contempt and ingratitude. The job of the American government is first and foremost to protect the rights and interests of American citizens. As President Trump stated in his State of the Union Address, “My duty, and the sacred duty of every elected official in this chamber, is to defend Americans, to protect their safety, their families, their communities, and their right to the American Dream. … Because Americans are dreamers, too.”
          Democrats are overplaying their hand, and it will come back to bite them. Nothing will erode the goodwill of the American people like being told that their kindness is not only owed to the illegals who broke our laws but that it is insufficient.
          No other nation takes in as many immigrants as the United States. No other nation treats them as well as we do. Not only have we allowed them to stay, we have spent tens of billions of dollars feeding, housing and educating them.
           Compare that to Mexico, home to many of these illegals. Mexico is in the process of a harsh crackdown on illegals coming up through Central America. In Mexico, instead of access to welfare programs and education, illegals are rounded up in police raids, imprisoned, beaten and often tortured.
          America’s current situation is untenable. Our immigration laws must be reformed to deal with those here and those who want to come here. But in doing so, Americans and their interests should come first. Not one single immigrant or illegal alien has a “right” to come to America. Those allowed to stay do so out of the kindness of the American people.
          And limiting immigration to those who truly love America, who want to embrace our history and culture, who promise to obey our laws, and who will be a net gain for our country is not an unreasonable demand.

DeSantis – liar-OBAMA Holds Secret Meeting,

Next Day COMEY GOES ACTIVE With DOSSIER 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ Tucker Carlson welcomes Rep Ron DeSantis (R-FL) to his program, who is also a former Navy JAG attorney... with some questions about the efforts of the liar-nOama regime to cover their crimes by methods that included denying the incoming President access to documents and intelligence. DeSantis says, “I don’t see how you can do that. I mean, just think about what Yates was onto at the time with, ‘Michael Flynn met with Kislyak, the Russian Ambassador.’ That was one of the reasons why she sent the FBI agents to Flynn, once they got in the – so they were creating some type of boogeyman really, right out of Flynn acting like any incoming National Security Advisor would.” Noting that a president’s legitimacy comes from the voice of the voters, he asks how one ‘president’ foreign impostor can say ‘I don’t think the next guy should have this, I don’t think he’s worthy.” Come on, Tucker, it’s not only a matter of not thinking he’s worthy, they were afraid that they’d be exposed and face criminal prosecution. That’s why the documents were buried in the custody of their deep state minders...  https://rickwells.us/desantis-obama-comey-dossier/

Coal Company Inked Deal With Chinese

Company While Pressing Trump For Bailout

by Susan Crabtree 

{ freebeacon.com } ~ A major coal-mining company that has pushed the Trump administration for a bailout of the industry quietly signed a deal last fall with a Chinese manufacturer... to produce mining equipment and did not disclose it to the White House or other government agencies. The deal with China is setting off alarm bells for free-market advocates and others who support President Trump's "America First" policies, as well as the administration's efforts to punish China for its unfair trade practices of "dumping" cheap goods in the United States, including aluminum and steel, as well as washing machines and solar panels.

Internal Dem Poll: Trump and GOP 

Gain Ground, 2018 'Blue Wave' in Peril 

by Guy Benson 

{ townhall.com } ~ A trend we've been following is showing up in Democrats' internal surveys, McClatchy reports... as a top Democratic pollster is warning that based on the emerging data, the party's expected 2018 midterm layup victories may not materialize as easily as assumed -- if at all.  These results were shared with the media as an obvious wake-up call to guard against complacency and to urge Democrats to focus attacks against Trump's policies...   https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2018/02/14/internal-dem-poll-trump-is-gaining-and-democrats-are-in-danger-of-blowing-it-n2448635?utm_source=thdailypm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl_pm&newsletterad=

Sessions Lauds 'Anglo-American Heritage,' Left Wails 

by Jordan Candler:  “I sincerely hope we can protect what has been called the ‘great writ’ — a writ that has been in place in the Anglo-American legal system for over 700 years.” Yesterday, those words were spoken by Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the National Sheriffs’ Association. And his utterance of that despicable term “Anglo-American” showed the world his true and utterly racist attitude toward non-whites in America.

          Oops. Conversely, those words were offered by Sen. Barack liar-nObama in 2006.
          Here’s what Sessions actually said yesterday at the NSA: “I want to thank every sheriff in America. Since our founding, the independently elected sheriff has been the people’s protector, who keeps law enforcement close to and accountable to people through the elective process. The office of sheriff is a critical part of the Anglo-American heritage of law enforcement. We must never erode this historic office.”
          If words are any indication, liar-nObama and Sessions actually agree on something here. You’d never know it though given the Left’s ridiculous response to and vitriol toward Sessions. According to Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz: “Do you know anyone who says ‘Anglo-American heritage’ in a sentence? What could possibly be the purpose of saying that other than to pit Americans against each other? For the chief law enforcement officer to use a dog whistle like that is appalling. Best NO vote I ever cast.”
          To answer his first question, yes, we can name someone who says “Anglo-American” in a sentence — Schatz’s fellow Democrat and former black politician, Barack liar-nObama. (Maybe it was liar-nObama’s white half talking.) And the purpose of Sessions saying it revolves around long-standing etiquette. Here’s what DOJ spokesman Ian Prior had to say to rabble-rousing leftists: “As most law students learn in the first week of their first year, Anglo-American law — also known as the common law — is a shared legal heritage between England and America. The sheriff is unique to that shared legal heritage. Before reporters sloppily imply nefarious meaning behind the term, we would suggest that they read any number of the Supreme Court opinions that use the term. Or they could simply put ‘Anglo-American law’ into Google.”
          Writing in National Review, Charles C. W. Cooke elaborates: “[Sessions’] talk was to sheriffs — about sheriffs. His subject was the ‘historic office’ that most of his audience filled. His point … was that, ‘since our founding, the independently elected sheriff’ has played a ‘critical’ role within a law enforcement system that developed in England and was then adopted in America. (‘Sheriff’ derives from a combination of the word ‘shire’ and the word ‘reeve.’) … Within the law, ‘Anglo-American’ does not mean ‘white.’ It does not mean ‘the KKK.’ It is not a ‘dog whistle.’ It is fundamental. It is used — shock! — to refer to those institutions, ideals, structures, and customs that are common to England and the United States.”
          The Left’s real objective is to erase historical references to America’s institutions, ideals, structures and customs. That comes in many forms — whether it’s eviscerating statues or purging from our lexicon benign words they don’t like.   ~The Patriot Post

Second liar-CLINTON JUDGE Orders 

DHS To RESTART NEW DACA Signups 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ A second black-robed tyrant with the mistaken impression that he is the President of the United States has blocked the real President... Donald Trump, from doing his job. New York Federal Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis, appointed by liar-Bill Clinton, declared on Tuesday that the government must completely reverse itself on the illegal DACA program, effectively ordering the violation of Federal Law in doing so. Another of liar-Bill Clinton’s black-robed agitating leftists had already ordered, back in early January, that renewals continue to be granted, but had stopped short of mandating new signups be allowed. The new usurpation calls for a full restart of the lawbreaking, including the issuance of protections for new squatters not previously enrolled in the illegal program. Issuing a dictate in search of even the flimsiest, contorted basis of support, the new ruling goes beyond the already outrageous usurpation of presidential power to execute immigration policy. The DACA mandates were not even the result of an executive order, merely the issuance of a memorandum. Yet these leftist agitators are treating them as if they are laws passed by Congress...What gives these judges the right to act against the legal law? Session needs to stop this.  https://rickwells.us/second-judge-daca-sign-ups/ 

Cornyn to Senate Democrats: ‘Clock is

Iran, Russia, and China's 

Central Role in the Venezuela Crisis

by Joseph M. Humire

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson just completed, by most accounts, a successful visit to Latin America... He began his five-nation tour by invoking the Monroe Doctrine and suggesting the Venezuelan military could manage a "peaceful transition" from the authoritarian leader Nicolás Maduro. This reminded several regional observers of President Trump's suggestion last year of a possible "military option" for Venezuela, hinting at possible U.S. or multilateral intervention to stop the country's collapse. An armed action or military intervention in Venezuela by any nation in the Western Hemisphere, including Venezuela's own military, must take into account the role of Iran, Russia and China in the crisis. Russia and China were prominently mentioned by Tillerson during his visit to the region; Iran, however, was notably absent from his remarks. Prior to any discussion on what to do about Venezuela, a consensus about what led to this crisis needs be reached. The role of Iran is critical in such a conversation...   https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11888/venezuela-iran-russia-china

Shawnee Peak in summer

{ tommclaughlin.blogspot.com } ~ This is the third winter during which, together with their mother and their other grandfather, I’ve been teaching four of my grandchildren to ski. Their mother was a racer during high school. The other grandfather is a retired principal who once coached a ski team. Their father comes as well when he can take time off from interning to become a teacher and running a contracting business. I’m a retired history teacher and former ski instructor.

On a winter evening

We started with the older two, both girls, when they were five and four respectively. Last year, we began with their brothers — twin boys who were nearly four years old then and who will turn five in a couple of weeks. This year is more fun because all four can now ski on their own. No longer am I in perpetual snowplow with a child between my legs. No more must I follow one while holding a harness. All that was hard on my aging body.

One of the twins starts to get it

This year I can I can get to know each of them better individually as we ride up on the lift together and talk. Then we slide off and experience the sheer joy of letting gravity pull us back down the hill as we shush from side to side — all the way to the bottom. We ski right back onto the lift because there are no lines to wait in. It’s up-and-down all morning, then into the lodge for lunch.

Granddaughter learning

Every Tuesday is homeschoolers’s day at Shawnee Peak in Bridgton, Maine and we pretty much have the mountain to ourselves as homeschooling families from southern Maine predominate. We arrive about ten in the morning and leave around three in the afternoon — just as busloads of public school students arrive and noisily fill up the lodge. Every week I’m struck by the contrast in demeanor between homeschool and public school kids.

One of the twins on the "magic carpet"

Grandson picking it up

As when teaching anything to any group, some picked it up very quickly while others didn’t. Some took the entire six weeks to make it down the bunny slope by themselves. The fast-learners were quickly bored so I would pass them up to intermediate groups with other instructors while I continued working with the slow-learners. However, such common-sense ability-grouping was vehemently resisted in the public middle school where I taught US History. There, we were expected to teach students of varying abilities all together in one classroom because that was the sacrosanct “middle-school philosophy” of progressive educators. Maybe they’ve realized by now that philosophy only holds the fast learners back, but I doubt it.

After several years as an instructor, skiing lost much of its allure for me as it became associated more with work than with fun. I only did it because one of the benefits was that my own children got season passes I could not otherwise have afforded. Shawnee Peak is only ten minutes away so they skied several times a week. In the intervening fifteen or so years since then I’d skied only about a dozen times.

It’s different now. I’m still instructing but the fun is returning. The grandchildren love it and their excitement is infectious. They spontaneously split off into small groups with other homeschoolers of similar ability, each supervised by a parent or grandparent when necessary. Some stay on the bunny slope while others take different lifts to intermediate or expert slopes.

In one such group with my oldest granddaughter, I asked the names of the other girls and told them mine. One girl asked for my last name, explaining: “We’re not allowed to call grownups by their first names.” Charming. This is my second extended experience with homeschoolers since retiring from public school. Their numbers are growing fast and I hope it continues. They’re such a pleasure to work with after thirty-four years in public schools.

Napolitano – Rice Email, Meeting Shows

Orchestration By Hussein liar-nObama

Napolitano replies, “Sounds like it.” He names the participants in the meeting as Hussein liar-nObama, loose lips-Joe Biden, James Comey, Acting AG Sally Yates,  and Susan Rice. The issue discussed is the Russia, Russia, Russia. Napolitano asks the obvious question, “Why would she write this thing to herself sixteen days after it occurred, why would she put the phrase ‘by the books’ in quotation marks, what would be the purpose of this unless something came to her or the ‘president’s’ attention between January 5, when the conversation occurred, and January 20th, when she wrote this email to herself, that caused her to either want to varnish the meeting, acknowledge its existence but put a good gloss on it?”... https://rickwells.us/napolitano-rice-orchestration-obama/

Comey Held Secret liar-nObama White 

House Meeting Before The Inauguration

by RICHARD POLLOCK

{ dailycaller.com } ~ FBI Director James Comey held a secret Oval Office meeting with President Barack liar-nObama two weeks before Trump’s inauguration... and may have deliberately misled Congress about it, according to an email sent by National Security Advisor Susan Rice that GOP Sens. Chuck Grassley and rino-Lindsey Graham partially unclassified.  The meeting — which Comey never previously disclosed to Congress — occurred in the White House on Jan. 5, 2017. It included liar-nObama, Vice President loose lips-Joe Biden, Rice deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, and Comey. The topic of the meeting was potential Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. By failing to inform the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence about the meeting in his June 8, 2017, testimony, Comey may have deliberately and intentionally misled Congress about his interactions with the former president, especially a meeting so close to Trump entering the White House... http://dailycaller.com/2018/02/13/comey-obama-secret-meeting/

Susan Rice's Last-Minute CYA Email 

by Political Editors:  At 12:15 p.m. on Inauguration Day 2017, Barack liar-nObama’s National Security Advisor Susan Rice sent herself a fairly important and unusual email (see below). It came to light Monday, thanks to the work of Sens. Chuck Grassley and rino-Lindsey Graham — the same pair that affirmed the House FISA memo findings.

          In the email, Rice made notes about a meeting that occurred two weeks prior on Jan. 5, 2017, involving liar-nObama, then-FBI Director James Comey, then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, loose lips-Joe Biden and Rice. The subject of the conversation was liar-nObama’s supposed desire that the FBI’s investigation into Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia go “by the book.” According to Grassley and rino-Graham, the meeting also covered the phony Christopher Steele dossier — you know, the one funded by liar-Hillary Clinton and the DNC. No wonder “one source familiar with the meeting” denied it covered the dossier.
          That date is significant because this meeting took place the day before Comey and the FBI visited Trump Tower to brief the president-elect on the investigation and the dossier, which had already been used to justify surveillance of Trump’s campaign. As Rice indicates, the meeting participants debated what and how much to tell Trump — liar-nObama wanted to hide some things.
          Rice’s emphasis on liar-nObama’s “by the book” instruction particularly stinks of covering his rear, whether he actually said it or Rice embellished the recollection. Literally on the way out the White House door for the last time, Rice made it a priority to leave a paper trail confirming   liar-nObama’s careful handling of the investigation. If anything had gone wrong — which we now know in great detail just how wrong it did go — that record would supposedly prove it wasn’t liar-nObama’s fault.
          Grassley and rino-Graham wrote their own letter to Rice demanding answers to a few questions by Feb. 22. Those questions include some that are of the “what did you know and when did you know it?” variety. The answers — if Rice bothers to provide them — will be key in understanding more about the whole affair.

liar-nObama's CIA chief accused 

of lying about anti-Trump 'dossier'

by ART MOORE 

Under oath before the House Intelligence Committee last May, former CIA director John Brennan testified that the infamous anti-Trump “dossier”... funded by the Democratic Party played no role in the intelligence community’s publicly released conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Brennan further declared he did not know who commissioned the opposition-research document, even though senior national security and counter-intelligence officials at the Justice Department and FBI knew the previous year it was funded by the liar-Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Now, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., is investigating whether or not Brennan committed perjury, reports Paul Sperry at RealClear Investigations...  http://www.wnd.com/2018/02/obamas-cia-chief-accused-of-lying-about-anti-trump-dossier/ 

by Cal Thomas 
{ townhall.com } ~ In "Hamlet," Shakespeare pens one of the most familiar lines -- and best advice -- ever written. Before Laertes leaves for Paris, his father, Polonius, tells him: "Neither a borrower nor a lender be..."

We have ignored that advice for far too long, which is why the U.S. national debt is $20 trillion with more to come, thanks to the Republican Congress, which has passed a two-year spending bill that calls for $300 billion in new spending and removes caps applied by the Budget Control Act of 2011.

It's being sold to the public with the highest and purist motives. We need to support our "brave" men and women in uniform and repair our roads and bridges.

As Politico first reported, an audit revealed a Defense Department agency can't account for $800 million targeted for building projects. Worse, if that's possible, the Defense Logistics Agency has no paper trail and can't tell auditors where the money went. And Congress is going to give them more.

As for infrastructure, wasn't the liar-nObama "stimulus," otherwise known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, supposed to have fixed roads and bridges? It was more like a down payment because government never has enough of our money.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), spoke the truth when he held up passage of the budget bill. As reported by The New York Times, Paul said: "I want people to feel uncomfortable. I want them to have to answer people at home who said, 'How come you were against President liar-nObama's deficits and then how come you're for Republican deficits?'"

Paul was the only Republican senator to vote against the measure which is expected to increase the debt to $30 trillion over the next decade, when probably all of those in the Senate will be dead or gone and won't have to take responsibility for it.

In addition to providing more money for the military, some Republicans are claiming with a straight face that this massive new spending is needed to finish repeal of liar-nObamacare. No one can seriously believe that, especially with all of the additional pork that is undoubtedly added on to this bill in order to gain "bipartisan" support. So if it's bipartisan, it must be good, right? Spending may be the last bipartisan act in Washington.

President Trump says if there were more Republicans in Congress the new spending and increased debt would not have happened. Maybe.

It's helpful to remind these free-spending Republicans what our Founders warned about the dangers of debt.

James Madison said: "Debts and taxes are the known instrument for bringing the many under the domination of the few" and "I go on the principle that a public debt is a public curse."

Thomas Jefferson spoke to the dangers of a government drunk on out-of-control spending that leads to increasing debt: "To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude."

Among the reasons empires and great nations have collapsed is public debt. Seeking to pacify the masses by never saying "no" to anything, politicians mortgage the future while preserving their current careers. Maybe America should change its initials from USA to ATM.

To invoke singer/songwriter Don McLean in a different context and applying it to modern politicians: "They would not listen they're not listening still; perhaps they never will."

{ rickwells.us } ~ Ruth Bader Ginsburg has no place being on any judicial bench, even small claims or night court... Her sexist prejudices would likewise disqualify her, if objectivity were a requirement, from any family court, as a man entering the courtroom immediately forfeits the presumption of equal treatment under the law. The singular place she most doesn’t belong and is least suited for is the Supreme Court, where she currently presides, apparently determined to remain until she kicks off. She has been a sexism agitator all of her life, particularly in her positions with the ACLU, where she co-founded the “Women’s Rights Council” before becoming the ACLU’s general counsel in 1973. Establishment puppet Orrin Hatch recommended Ginsburg to Janet Reno as a replacement for the retiring Byron White. Reno then suggested her name to liar-Clinton, who did the dirty deed and nominated her... https://rickwells.us/ginsburg-clinton-trump-macho/

Trump-Hating Media Fawn 

Over Dictator Kim at Olympics 

by Mark Tapson 

{ truthrevolt.org } ~ The news media can't stop accusing President Donald Trump of dictatorial tendencies and comparing him to Hitler and Mussolini... but they fell all over themselves praising the real-world dictator of North Korea, monster Kim Jong Un, and his advisor sister at the 2018 Winter Olympics. You can't buy the kind of propaganda handed to North Korea on a silver platter by the mainstream media this weekend at the Olympics being held in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Here is a sampling,  courtesy of Fox News, of headlines that appeared on smitten leftist outlets such as CNN and ABC: “Kim Jong Un’s sister is stealing the show at the winter Olympics” “The ‘Ivanka Trump of North Korea’ captivates people in the South at the Olympics” “North Korea’s cheerleaders steal spotlight at Winter Games with synchronized chants”...  https://www.truthrevolt.org/news/trump-hating-media-fawn-over-dictator-kim-olympics 

Comey told Congress FBI 

agents didn't think Michael Flynn lied

by Byron York

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ In March 2017, then-FBI Director James Comey briefed a number of Capitol Hill lawmakers on the Trump-Russia investigation... One topic of intense interest was the case of Michael Flynn, the Trump White House national security adviser who resigned under pressure on Feb. 13 after just 24 days in the job. There were widespread reports that Flynn had lied to Vice President Mike Pence about telephone conversations that he, Flynn, had with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the transition in late December 2016. On Jan. 24, 2017, two of Comey's FBI agents went to the White House to question Flynn, and there was a lot of speculation later that Flynn lied in that interview, which would be a serious crime. There was also a lot of concern in Congress, at least among Republicans, about the leak of the wiretapped Flynn-Kislyak conversation. Such intelligence is classified at the highest level of secrecy, yet someone — Republicans suspected liar-nObama appointees in the Justice Department and intelligence community — revealed it to the press...  http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/byron-york-comey-told-congress-fbi-agents-didnt-think-michael-flynn-lied/article/2648896?platform=hootsuite 

New Text Messages Prove 

One Thing: Barack liar-nObama Lied 

by fixthisnation.com 

{ fixthisnation.com } ~ Someone needs to demand that every single available text message that was sent between the star-crossed FBI lovers Peter Strzok and Lisa Page be released to the public... because it seems that every new release brings us one step closer to the truth. By the time it’s all said and done, these two could go down as unintentional heroes of the republic, having ripped the mask off of the single most damning conspiracy in our nation’s 250-year history. Of course, that honor would be a little easier to bestow upon them if they weren’t, you know, active participants. This week, thanks to newly revealed messages between the two, we learned that President liar-nObama lied when he told the public that he does not keep abreast of ongoing FBI investigations. He said that in an interview when asked what he personally knew about the liar-Clinton email scandal and the investigation into the then likely Democrat nominee for president. No one particularly believed that load of horse crap at the time, and now we have messages that prove he was being less than truthful about his hands-on experience with the FBI...  http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/new-text-messages-prove-one-thing-barack-obama-lied/ 

by Todd Starnes 
{ townhall.com } ~ While American taxpayers were nestled snug in their beds congressional Republicans were plotting to pass the second largest spending increase in a decade.

The Republican-controlled Congress voted to raise caps on spending by $300 billion over the next two years. There are some estimates that suggest the bill will increase government spending by $1.5 trillion.

Shame on us for taking the Republicans at their word. These are the same rapscallions who promised to cut spending and reduce the size of government. 

There is no question that the U.S. Armed Forces need every penny allocated in the budget. But domestic spending is out of control. 

Republicans said they had no choice but to approve the spending increase because Democrats were willing to hold the military hostage.

Instead of standing their ground and taking their case to the American people, the Republicans capitulated to the demands of Nancy Pulosi and Chuck clown-Schumer.

The House Freedom Caucus and Sen. Rand Paul stood their ground and held the line for the American taxpayer. But I've come to the conclusion that Establishment Republicans have no intention of honoring their pledge to the taxpayers.

The Republicans told us they needed control of the House before they could get anything done. So we gladly gave them control of the House. But nothing ever got done.

Then, they told us they needed control of the Senate. So we happily gave them control of the Senate. But still, nothing ever got done.

Then, they told us they needed control of the White House. So we elected Donald J. Trump as the president of these great United States.

And it pains me to write this, but the government is still growing and spending is still out of control.

So you can imagine my frustration when the Republicans told us that if we really want to change the direction of Washington it will require MORE Republicans in Congress.

I'm reminded of an old Southern saying - fool me once shame on you -- fool me twice -- well - you're probably a Congressional Republican.

Sanders Nails NBC Hypocrite Over Porter

“Concern” – Leakers In This Room 

A Bigger Threat 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ One response to the attempted gotcha question by NBC troll Kristen Welker, asking, “Why are high level aides allowed to work with classified information... without permanent security clearance would have been to ask her how, given the months-long process she expects the government to function while waiting for the FBI, or should we just call a timeout at the UN and ask everyone to wait with us as our government really shuts down? Another response might have been to ask her in what way the process is different from that under her communist premier, Hussein liar-nObama, just to see what kind of sputtering non-sense fell from between her jowls.  Sarah Sanders handled it pretty well, saying, “That’s a question that the FBI and other Intelligence communities, they make that determination, that’s not something that’s decided by the White House. She then asks an even dumber version of her first question, asking, “Can you guarantee that you  are protecting classified information, given that you have someone like Rob Porter, who didn’t have a permanent security clearance with access to classified information?”...  https://rickwells.us/sanders-nails-nbc-hypocrite/

Dems Willing to Be 

Flexible on Funding for Trump’s Wall

by TRENT BAKER

{ breitbart.com } ~ Sunday on New York AM 970 radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said that Democrats are willing to be flexible... with funding for President Donald Trump’s border wall, calling it “important” to invest in border security. “Bipartisanship has broken out in at least some areas. I hope we can carry forward this bipartisan cooperation in other areas like reforming and rebuilding our immigration system, which is sadly broken,” Blumenthal said to host John Catsimatidis. “On the wall, we would be willing to be flexible on border security,” he added. “There are ways, again, to be bipartisan in devising solutions to make our borders more secure using surveillance and sensors, better training for agents who patrol our borders, using new technology, strengthening some of the physical structures and fences … and if the president wants to call it a wall, so be it.” http://www.breitbart.com/video/2018/02/11/blumenthal-dems-willing-flexible-funding-trumps-wall/

Senator Chuck Grassley Questions Susan Rice

About ‘Unusual’ Documentary Letter to Herself

by sundance

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Earlier today Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley sent a letter to President liar-nObama’s former National Security Adviser, Susan Rice... about a curious email she sent to herself documenting a White House conversation between President liar-nObama and former FBI head James Comey. On the day of the inauguration, January 20th, 2017; at the very last minutes of the outgoing administration; Mrs. Rice documented a conversation which took place on January 5th, 2017 between President liar-nObama, Asst. AG Sally Yates and FBI Director James Comey.  Vice-President loose lips-Joe Biden and Susan Rice were in attendance.  On its face the Rice note would appear to be a CYA memo documenting a conversation in the even the larger efforts of the White House and DOJ/FBI were discovered to be conspiring to create a series of false accusations, the “insurance policy” per se’, against the incoming president.  Rice appears to be leaving a document trail in the event she needed to extricate herself from risks associated with the intention of the ‘small group’...  https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/02/12/senator-chuck-grassley-questions-susan-rice-about-unusual-documentary-letter-to-herself/

Sen rino-Graham -“Cover Girl” Susan Rice 

Sent Herself Last Minute Email To

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ Senators rino-Lindsey Graham and Chuck Grassley have discovered some new information in the form of some peculiar emails... sent by Hussein liar-nObama’s former National Security Adviser and chief unmasker, Susan Rice. She sent them to herself literally as they were walking out of the White House, around noon on inauguration day, January 20th, 2017. rino-Graham explains his concern over what appears to be a clumsy, last minute effort to create a narrative as protection against the discovery of the criminal offenses of liar-nObama and his regime, to include the Russia story, it’s fabricators, the liar-Clinton campaign, the money handlers and the FBI, DOJ, and intelligence communities’ deep state operatives. Senator rino-Graham describes Rice as emailing herself “about a meeting that occurred on January the 5th, in the Oval Office, and she says in the email that the ‘president’ was being briefed by the intelligence community about Russian hacking in the 2016 election, and he had a follow-on brief meeting with Sally Yates, Jim Comey, herself and Vice-President loose lips-Biden, and she quotes what the ‘president’ said.”...  https://rickwells.us/graham-rice-email-protect-obama/

Taxpayers Scalped by Demos and Insurance Companies 

by Robin Smith:  Oh, no you don’t, Senator Fauxcahontas! Last week, one of the chiefs of the Democrat Tribe, Elizabeth dinky-Warren, claimed, “Taxpayers are directly responsible for a huge proportion of those giant profits,” referring to the massive revenues of health insurance companies. That’s only true because taxpayer money was used by politicians posing as experts in health care economics. And for that we can thank Democrats.

Using her platform within the Democrats’ flock of mimicking parrots in the celebrity media, dinky-Warren, again, called for a Medicare system for all. By that, she means a government-run health care system that would hypothetically provide a universal plan — in other words, one that makes the government the customer as the entity that creates the rules and pays. The Democrat-presidential-wanna-be constructs an argument for socialized, government-controlled health care by claiming insurance companies have, through their evil cronyism, fleeced Americans of billions of dollars while offering substandard insurance policies for health care coverage.
          Let’s get this right: It is because of government manipulation of one-sixth of the U.S. economy that we continue to see increasing prices in health care. When patients are not the customers and cannot make buying decisions for a service sought and rendered, prices end up being excessive. Want lower prices? Try the free market.
          In fact, dinky-Warren stands as one of the barriers to creating the best health care at the most affordable price for the greatest number of people.
          She bellowed last week about “wildly profitable” insurance companies that receive government subsidies — read: your tax dollars — as she demanded “fair treatment” for patients in her ongoing political argument for a single-payer health insurance system. But she neglected to mention that the “subsidies” to insurers that she correctly deems as cronyism are a result of a bill passed without a single Republican vote and signed into law by the previous Democrat president, Barack liar-nObama, in March 2010. To be fair, dinky-Warren isn’t directly responsible because she wasn’t in the Senate at the time liar-nObamaCare was foisted on us. That happened while Ms. Fake Indian Ancestry was still enjoying minority status on faculty at Harvard.
          liar-nObamaCare came with the guarantee BIG Lie that you could keep your doctor and plan, if you so desired, and that every family would enjoy a minimum of a $2,500 annual savings on the cost of their insurance. None of these talking points materialized because nothing about the bill permitted those outcomes. Failed policy created a bloated bureaucracy and a market tied up with red tape instead of increased access to better health care for reasonable prices.
          For some reason, we’re reminded of President Ronald Reagan’s famous line: “It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.”
          dinky-Warren’s line of attack isn’t new. In January at the Families USA Conference, the Massachusetts senator declared, “And as we wrestle with insurance companies to get them to treat their customers a little better, keep in mind on this that taxpayers are directly responsible for a huge proportion of those giant profits. The top insurers in the United States pull in nearly 60% of their total revenue from Medicare and Medicaid — that is more than $200 billion in 2016 revenues coming directly from American taxpayers.”
          Now, who is the customer if the patient is insured via Medicaid, Medicare or liar-nObamaCare? Not the patient or consumer of health services. The customer in every one of these insurance policies that covers health services is the government. The government determines the coverage of each plan available. The government determines the reimbursement contract for medicines and services provided. The government pays the bill.
          Not only does dinky-Warren have the market forces wrong, she and her fellow Democrats are feeding the failure. Unfortunately, it’s become a bipartisan affliction. While Republicans did repeal the individual mandate and ended the “death panels” that existed to ration care, many of these same politicians are also supporting billions of dollars more to be sent from the U.S. Treasury to bailout these insurance companies that lobbied for the failed policy of liar-nObamaCare. As a trio of policy experts from the Heritage Foundation and Galen Institute summed it up, a bipartisan effort is underway to infuse “new federal spending into the veins of insurance companies that are hemorrhaging red ink on the liar-nObamacare exchanges.”
          As always in DC, the answer to government failure is more money and a bigger bureaucracy.
          When the consumer is offered a service or product, he or she assesses the cost versus the benefit or need. Right now, there is no price transparency, as a rule, in health care. A few states are bravely knocking down the barrier to a free market of hidden costs of health care, but not at the federal level.
          Currently, the buying power in the world of health insurance exists in the hands of the government — the federal or state government — not individuals. When more than 60% of the insurance business comes through a government entity, individuals have no voice.
          Democrats are responsible for America’s less-than-optimal health care system because they created and enabled failure in a critical aspect of our economy that is controlled by corporate welfare and socialistic control. dinky-Warren ignores that inconvenient truth.
          Reagan, again, was right when he surmised, “Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem.” Empower patients through effective policy that creates a consumer-driven health care system, not government-controlled health insurance policies.   ~The Patriot Post

White Powder Terrorism Stunt Against Don Jr

{ rickwells.us } ~ Once again lowlife leftists have demonstrated that they’ll do just about anything in the pursuit of their perverse political objectives... including sending a hoax anthrax envelope to President Trump’s daughter-in-law and her mother. Vanessa Trump, the wife of Donald Trump Jr., was rushed to a Manhattan hospital on Monday as a precaution after she opened an envelope that was addressed to her husband at approximately 10 am Monday morning. It contained a white powder, which was later determined to be cornstarch. The incident took place in the New York home of her mother, Bonnie Haydon. The envelope, which was postmarked in Boston, contained not only the cornstarch powder, but a letter that indicated that the stunt was some sort of retribution for Donald Trump Jr.’s supposed transgressions of the past...  https://rickwells.us/white-powder-terrorism-trump/ 

Crude Oil Prices Fall Below $60, 

Traders Expect $55 or Lower 

by Bob Adelmann 

{ thenewamerican.com } ~ With the price of crude oil for March delivery falling below $60 a barrel last week on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX)... half of OPEC’s worst nightmare is taking place: Higher oil prices sought by the cartel are bringing on American production at a faster rate than ever before. The other half of the nightmare would be a slowdown in global demand for the stuff. A sell-off was triggered by an announcement last week from the Energy Information Agency (EIA) that U.S. crude oil production exceeded 10 million barrels per day (bpd) last month — the first time since 1970 — and would continue to set records into 2018. In addition, U.S. oil rig count jumped by 26, the largest jump in a year. Helping along was the overbought position by traders expecting crude oil prices to move even higher. It’s estimated that those traders owned a billion barrels of oil through futures and options contracts, and when oil began to tip over, many rushed to unload them, accelerating the decline... https://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/energy/item/28257-crude-oil-prices-fall-below-60-traders-expect-55-or-lower 

The Dumb Controversy 

over the scum-Schiff Memo

by ANDREW C. MCCARTHY

The scum-Schiff memo, principally authored by Democratic staff on the House Intelligence Committee under the direction of ranking member scum-Adam Schiff (D., Calif.)... is the response to the Nunes memo, which was composed by the committee’s Republican staff under the direction of Chairman Devin Nunes (R., Calif.). Substantively, the scum- Schiff memo is unlikely to do Democrats much good, since the Nunes memo’s principal allegations have been corroborated — namely: The liar-nObama administration (a) used the unverified Steele dossier to get a FISA warrant on former Trump-campaign adviser Carter Page and (b) did not tell the FISA court that the dossier was a liar-Clinton-campaign product. Democrats nevertheless appear to have laid a trap to try to goad Republicans into objecting to their memo. The trick would enable Congressman scum-Schiff to claim Republicans are hiding critical facts. Committee Republicans were shrewd enough to avoid the trap, but the Trump White House has been taken in.  This is an easy one: The president should release the memo with his own redactions. It would then be up to scum-Schiff to make the next move: Either prove Republicans are concealing facts that damage the president or expose himself as a charlatan...  http://www.nationalreview.com/article/456321/democratic-memo-trump-should-release-necessary-redactions-only?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NR%20Daily%20Monday%20through%20Friday%202018-02-12&utm_term=NR5PM%20Actives

Justice Ginsburg Going Senile? Says liar-Hillary Lost Because of Sexism

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muNU9cmz6Tk

.

{ truthrevolt.org } ~ On Wednesday night Israelis received yet another demonstration of the country’s desperate need for legal reform.

The media in Israel – like their counterparts in the US – tout themselves as democracy’s watchdogs. But on Wednesday night, we saw once again that our fiercest journalists are actually the lapdogs of our unelected legal fraternity, whose members share their hatred for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and their general attachment to the ideological Left.

Wednesday night’s primetime news broadcasts all opened with the sensational news that the police’s top investigators from the Lahav 433 unit – Israel’s equivalent of the FBI – were sitting at that very moment with Police Commissioner Roni Alsheich to decide what crimes to recommend Attorney-General Avichai Mandelblit indict Netanyahu for.

According to police leakers, their intention is to recommend that Mandelblit indict Netanyahu for at least one count of bribery.

Netanyahu allegedly helped his old friend Hollywood movie mogul Arnon Milchen renew his US visa. Over the years, Milchen allegedly showered Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, with cigars and champagne. 

An hour after the news broadcasts all ended, Israel’s flagship investigative news magazine Uvda broadcast a slickly edited, hour-long interview its anchor, Ilana Dayan, conducted over several weeks with Alsheich.

To be clear, Dayan’s interview wasn’t a complete love-fest. She asked Alsheich several biting questions. But overall, Dayan did everything she could to present Alsheich as a hero, a self-made man and all all-around awesome guy.

Dayan devoted a long portion of her interview to Alsheich’s tragic loss of his beloved mother when he was 14. Barely holding back his tears, Alsheich told Dayan that he decided not to let his loss hold him back, and then humbly bragged that he basically raised himself after she passed away.

Dayan spent another long sequence of her interview with Alsheich discussing his role as a Shin Bet interrogator in the tragic Nachshon Wachsman affair.

In 1994, Hamas terrorists kidnapped IDF Cpl. Nachshon Wachsman, a paratrooper hitching a ride on the side of the highway in central Israel.

At the time, Alsheich was a Shin Bet investigator. It turns out that he was the officer who interrogated the Wachsman’s kidnappers’ accomplices. Through them, the Shin Bet located the house near Ramallah where Wachsman was being held, and learned the conditions of his confinement.

Then-prime minister and defense minister Yitzhak Rabin and then-IDF chief of General Staff Ehud Barak ordered the IDF’s elite reconnaissance unit Sayeret Matkal to storm the house and rescue Wachsman. The rescue attempt failed, Wachsman was murdered and one of his rescuers, Capt. Nir Poraz, was killed in the raid. The Wachsman episode was a national tragedy that traumatized the entire country.

By placing Alsheich at the center of the drama, and superimposing video images of Rabin on her conversation with Alsheich, Dayan presented Alsheich as the unsung hero of the national tragedy. In so doing, she effectively rendered him untouchable.

Once she built Alsheich up as a hero, she shifted her attention to the Netanyahu probes. And when Alsheich began to speak, you understood why he needed the buildup.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Alsheich sounded like a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist when he started talking about his probes of the prime minister.

Alsheich presented Dayan with four separate criminal conspiracies, all of which he either directly or indirectly claimed are Netanyahu’s handiwork. It is important to note that each of the conspiracies he alleged involve crimes far graver than accepting too many cigars from an old friend. And none of them is currently being investigated.

The first conspiracy theory he presented as fact was his claim that Netanyahu arranged for private detectives to gather dirt on the police officers investigating him.

Alsheich said that “very powerful forces” hired private detectives who “were wandering around the investigators” and “sniffing about.” He then said that Dayan was “correct” when she asked if the targeted officers were involved in the Netanyahu probe.

Opinion in Brief

Burt Prelutsky: “Each time I see footage of the Democrats at Trump’s State of the Union speech I’m reminded of those sneering football players who spent the season getting more attention for what they were doing on the sidelines than what they were doing on the field. The 242 Democrats (49 senators, 193 House members) who sat on their hands even when Trump pledged to support family leave, something not even liar-nObama called for, may have thought they were expressing their disapproval of the man, but I suspect that a great many Americans saw it for what it was; they were showing their contempt for those of us who had elected the man at the podium. They were taking a knee and giving the rest of us the finger. Perhaps the most telling moment came when Nancy Pulosi turned to glare over her right shoulder and appeared to be making sure that none of her stooges were caught applauding for veterans, an end to chain migration or the Pledge of Allegiance.”   ~The Patriot Post

While noting that they are “downright evil” he acknowledges that they are tactically brilliant, citing the inclusion of classified information in their memo, which would make it impossible to release for national security reasons and then claim censorship and partisanship on the part of the White House. Steve Doocy raises the reports that Devin Nunes’ House Intelligence Committee is looking at former CIA Director John Brennan, with the issue being potential perjury by Brennan in public hearings. Brennan denied knowing of or using the Fusion GPS dossier, or of even knowing who commissioned it, all of which, evidence is now showing, was false...  https://rickwells.us/bongino-nunes-brennan-schiff/

DHS: 'NBC News Continues to Falsely Report'

on Russian Hacking, 'Misrepresented 

Facts,' 'Confused Public'

“NBC News continues to falsely report my recent comments” about Russian hacking and the 2016 elections... DHS’s Jeanette Manfra said Monday, warning the network’s ‘irresponsible reporting” is undermining DHS’s efforts to do its job. In a statement regarding the recent NBC news coverage on the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) efforts to combat election hacking, Jeanette Manfra, National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD) Assistant Secretary for the Office of Cybersecurity and Communications, accuses NBC of misleading and confusing the public by misrepresenting her remarks: “Recent NBC reporting has misrepresented facts and confused the public with regard to Department of Homeland Security and state and local government efforts to combat election hacking.”...  https://www.cnsnews.com/blog/craig-bannister/dhs-nbc-news-continues-falsely-report-russian-hacking-misrepresented-facts?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTVRVMk1tVTROekZtWXpKaSIsInQiOiJqZUk5Z0txVVFRTmtIUUJsRGpiVkNsMlA0WnhXelZkNjFreG9lNkZPbXJMeCtpZ1MrOHQ3dXprelNcL1wvNFwvQ1wvbGVSVEpZT1wvcndGN0ZjRFBLOW1VdnhkVWFxVFBsSmVjMWVkNDRZd21NNTE4TzlCYzVQTlFQMllRTUxQZnpcL1Q0OCJ9 

Remington Gets Ready to File for Bankruptcy 

by Erika Haas

{ bearingarms.com } ~ There’s been much debate surrounding the so-called “Trump Slump” in the gun industry. How bad is it? How long will it last?... Will it change the face of the industry? Is it even real? While we still don’t have any concrete answers to these questions, there is one thing we know for certain: Remington Arms is struggling. Last month, the firearms manufacturer – one of the oldest and largest in the country – began exploring options to restructure its $950 million debt. The company not only saw a significant drop in sales in 2017 but lost a number of its investors. The gun manufacturer has also been caught up in a handful of legal proceedings, including another  lawsuit related to the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting. On Monday, the company officially announced that it had reached a restructuring support agreement with creditors to reduce its debt and allow it to continue normal operations as it enters bankruptcy proceedings...  https://bearingarms.com/erika-h/2018/02/12/remington-announces-restructuring-support-agreement-fund-bankruptcy-proceedings/?utm_source=thdailypm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl_pm&newsletterad

{ townhall.com } ~ No, we don’t need to go to paper ballots because we didn’t get hacked. The Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan suggested on NBC’s Meet The Press over the weekend that we should start transitioning to paper ballots to avoid a possible partisan crackup in America if an election is contested based on such an event (via RCP): 

PEGGY NOONAN: I would say, here's my big concern. We are, as we all know, a deeply divided country. We have these partisan fights, they're very rough and tough, this side watches this, the other side watches this, we're not in the same information flow. One thing that could damage this nation terribly is having a national election where the outcome is unclear because we got hacked.

The states is a national election. By the year 2020, right away we should start saying, "You've got to go paper ballots." We'll figure out all this Internet magic, technological stuff, but for now, paper ballots in America so Ohio knows how it voted.

Yet, vote tallies weren’t hacked; the Department of Homeland Security said so last year. Even the liar-nObama administration said that the “will of the American people” was reflected in the 2016 election, with the DHS noting they did not detect “any increased level of malicious cyber activity aimed at disrupting our electoral process on Election Day.”

The Washington Post also reported after the 2016 election that it’s virtually impossible to hack an American election:

That's the question at its root: Could hackers change the numbers to change our elections? The Fix spoke by phone and email with Merle King, executive director of the Center for Election Systems at Kennesaw State University to get an answer. In summary: It would be harder than we think — in part because we tend to conflate a number of very different election systems.

"One of the challenges the public has in sorting through the various threads of the current election cycle's stories is understanding the differences between a campaign system, an election system and a voting system," King told us.

The campaign system is the tool set used by candidates or parties to get people elected. The election system covers voter registration systems and other data centralization and is specific to jurisdictions. The voting system is the actual process of voting: the machines, the ballots and the designations of who votes where and on what. Information flows between these systems, but not always in two directions: Campaigns, for example, use voter registration data from the elections system but don't send information back to it. So if a campaign is hacked or if the Democratic National Committee is, there's no risk to the voter registration database.

Confusing these systems can mean misunderstanding the threat — and the intent of the hackers. Take what happened in Arizona or Illinois, where voter files were lifted from the election system.

"When I hear about a hack, and it's attributed to a Russian IP address, my first reaction is it's identity theft," King said. "They're looking for large lists of critical information that can be used to create identities for credit card theft, etc. I don't instinctively think it's an attack on our election system."

The important point King makes is that hacking the elections system and the voting system are very different in nature and effect. "If the election systems were hacked, there are paper backups of the electors list — every precinct has to maintain a paper copy of the voter list — so you could disrupt an election by attacking those election systems," he said. "But most importantly, you could not alter the outcome of the election by hacking those systems. That would have to occur in the voting system" — the actual process of casting ballots. And that's harder than it seems.

The publication then listed how Florida verifies its results. The 49 other states have a similar process. It’s not as easy as the media and Democrats are making it out to be on television.  

In Pennsylvania, which was a target of Green Party candidate’s Jill Stein’s failed recount effort, no evidence of tampering were found, backing up DHS claims. Also, to actually tamper with an election result in the Keystone State, you’d have to mess with the 4,500 voting machines, which experts say would take four months to do it successfully. That’s only after you’ve been able to break into the secure facility where all the voting machines are stored, which is under 24-hour surveillance (via CBS Pittsburgh):

“We have not seen any evidence that anything has been compromised since we had the machines,” Allegheny County Director of Elections Mark Wolosik said.

There are a lot of reasons for that. Let’s say you could break into the machines and reprogram them to favor a candidate.

The first issue,” Wolosik says is, “They are an island unto themselves. They are not connected to any other machine.”

So any manipulations would have to be one machine at a time, which Dr. Shamos estimates would take 15 minutes per machine, with 4,500 machines.

“To do it for all the machines in the county would take four months,” said Dr. Shamos.

It would also have to be done undetected in a warehouse that is under surveillance 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Over the past week, the election machines have moved from the warehouse to the polling places.

“Prior to leaving our warehouse, they are sealed with an individually numbered seal that is recorded,” Wolosik said.

Then, on the morning of the election, the poll workers compare the number to the seal.

“If there are any discrepancies, they are not to use that machine and to call our office immediately,” said Wolosik

[…]

One other safeguard – while voting is going on, an independent accounting agency randomly selects a voting machine somewhere in the county and tests it to see if there’s any Trojan horse software running on it.

So, can we bring down the paper ballot-Russia hacking hysteria down a few notches?
