ACTION

Barry Donadio, a Maryland Republican Politician is opposed to Maryland Senate Bill 344. It gives the ability for Permanent Resident Foreign Nationals with no U.S. Citizenship to become Police Officers in Maryland.

“ I am stongly opposed to a law that will give the ability for a non-U.S. Citizen to become a Law Enforcement Officer and the authority to arrest U.S. Citizens.” said Donadio.

Maryland’s Senate Bill 344 seems to do just that. After serving 4 years in the U.S. Military, the bill will permit the Maryland Police Training and Stadards Commission to potientally ceritify them as Police Officers.

Donadio stated that he asked numerous active Maryland Police Officers their opinions about the bill and every Officer was against it.

“It is a bad idea” Donadio implied. “I am not comfortable with a non-U.S. citizen having the authority of arresting any American citizen.” “ Dump this bill.”

“ I question if SB344 is even constitutionally sound and which Americans would benefits from it. ”

Donadio’s stance is that the bill will only work to undermine the trust between the civilian populace and law enforcement. The bill will mostly lead to a hiring preference for those who are non-citizens over Americans that are applying for Police Officer positions. Donadio also questions if a permanent resident will practice the same discretion as our current Police Officers that are U.S. citizens. It may also turn policing into services offered by the lowest bidder. In theory, the bill legally sets the stage to potentially have an all non-U.S. citizen police department.

Donadio does endorse and appreciate those permanent residents that are serving in our armed forces. He believes this is a path to citizenship and an act he respects on the part of those seeking citizenship. “But they are not arresting Americans in this capacity.” Donadio said. That is why he is against making them a Police Officer prior to obtaining U.S. citizenship.

Donadio received some resistance on his stance aganst SB344. Some citing that non-U.S. citizens serve in the Fire Departments in Maryland. Donadio’s stance is that he has no issue with them serving in that capacity becasue they are not placing Americans under arrest.

Donadio is encouring Police fraternal orginazations and concerned citizens to speak out against this bill immediatly.

Are Sessions, Rosenstein, Wray Using Goodlatte, 

Gowdy, Huber For liar-nObama Whitewash? 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ It’s quite likely that the establishment political machinery in the DC swamp... recognized long ago that their ability to obstruct investigations into their corruption that were taking place or being demanded by Republicans was waning. In the wake of liar-Hillary Clinton’s unexpected loss their inability to stifle calls for investigations and to effectively just sit on evidence against the widespread liar-nObama and deep state corruption was greatly compromised. They needed an alternative, more proactive plan to insulate themselves from discovery. We can imagine a situation in which Attorney General Jeff Sessions was sitting in his office with his crooked Deputy, Rod Rosenstein and the corrupt crony of Mueller and Comey leading the FBI, Christopher Wray, back in the fall of 2017, working out a scheme to rope-a-dope the American people...

Trump Freezes Funds for Recovery Efforts in Syria

by Wanda Carruthers

{ newsmax.com } ~ President Donald Trump froze more than $200 million in funds to aid with recovery efforts in Syria... as the White House mulls the broader U.S. participation in the ongoing conflict there, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday. The funds have been put on hold, according to U.S. officials, in keeping with an announcement Thursday where Trump said he wanted to pull out of Syria and "let other people take care of it now." Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson pledged the money at a February meeting of coalition forces in Kuwait, the Journal reported. The freeze comes as fighting against the Islamic State has stalled, according to U.S. officials...  https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/donald-trump-freeze-funds-recovery/2018/03/30/id/851788/?ns_mail_uid=29878495&ns_mail_job=1786514_03312018&s=al&dkt_nbr=010504rk0gmn 

When Dems Say They Don’t Want 

To Take Away All Our Guns: THEY’RE LYING

by Warner Todd Huston

{ lidblog.com } ~ Democrats want to take all our guns away and cancel the Second Amendment... and when they say this is not true, they are simply lying to you. Liberals always lie about what they want. They do this as part of their normal strategy because what they really want is so extreme that no real American would agree to it. So, they claim to lesser plans that seem more “reasonable” so that with each win they can get closer to their extreme goals. The strategy works, too. The radical gay agenda is the perfect example of how liberals push their agenda in steps instead of admitting to what they want right up front. Liberals used to say that they only wanted gays to be treated as equals and their sexual choices legitimized. They didn’t want gay marriage, they insisted, they only wanted to be accepted for their sexual choice because it was “natural.” But that only lasted until they achieved that goal... https://lidblog.com/take-away-all-our-guns/

{ wnd.com } ~ Former President Barack liar-nObama I love the adjective preceding his title made some comments at the recent Global Opinion Leaders Summit in Japan that I can’t let slide, so please forgive me:

It used to be that the two political parties in the United States would disagree, but there was a common baseline of facts and a set of norms in terms of political behavior that were followed. … You could have a disagreement, but basic things got done. … And some of the reason for that is … it used to be that in the United States, there were three television stations. Basically everybody watched the same thing. Everybody got their news from the same sources, and so everybody had, more or less, a similar view of the world. But today, because of first cable television and then now the internet, people have 500 channels to choose from, and they are able to find the news that fits their views instead of fitting their views to the news, so they are very biased in terms of how they see things, in a way that just didn’t used to be the case. And so it becomes harder to have a proper democratic debate if we don’t agree on just basic facts. … I can have an argument with somebody who doesn’t think it’s worthwhile for us to sacrifice economic growth in order to reduce carbon emissions. It’s much harder to have a debate with somebody who doesn’t believe that the planet is getting warmer despite the fact that 99 out of 100 scientists say it is. … When you don’t have a common set of facts, it’s hard to have, then, a basic democratic conversation.

The opinion liar-nObama is expressing is not unique to him. This is the way far too many liberals think. I’ve heard former news luminaries such as Ted Koppel and Dan Rather separately lament that conservatives are essentially in a different reality. The liberal worldview springs from a healthy mind; the conservative one is not a different but valid alternative; it is just wrong.

Do you see the irony? Liberals don’t see that they are grossly guilty of what they are complaining about. They are the ones who don’t accord legitimacy to opposing views.liar-nObama revealed his contempt for opposing viewpoints most infamously in his “bitter clingers” remark, but we witnessed him demonstrating it throughout his presidency, when he seemed to take umbrage at disagreement itself, as opposed to the reasons for the disagreement. If people disagree with leftists, they are being unreasonable, because leftist ideas are self-evidently true. Even worse, they presume that they alone are compassionate and that conservatives are heartless, self-interested wretches.

As an example, a young leftist criticized me on Twitter for noting that a certain student gun-control activist has become offensive, hostile and partisan in his advocacy while berating those who don’t agree as placing their partisanship before children’s safety. My Twitter stalker asked me: “Since when is not wanting to get shot a partisan issue? Aren’t you bothered in the least that grade-schoolers have drills about crazed gunmen?”

I responded: “What makes leftists think that because we don’t agree with your proposed solutions we care any less about the problem than you? We actually want to address it. Your collective arrogance is astounding – no offense. I assume you want to help; you assume we don’t care.”

Now back to liar-nObama. He longs for the days when an oligarchic media delivered a monolithic message. Darn that Rush Limbaugh though liar-nObama forgot to mention my evil brother this time for opening up the media floodgates for an equally valid worldview. Darn Fox News and darn the internet. Competition is anathema to leftists not only in economics but also in the dissemination of information itself – the lifeblood of democracy.

They liked it better when the reporting of so-called facts was controlled by a narrow group of Beltway elites with a similar bias – a bias that influenced what the elites deemed important enough to report or useful to their political agenda, the way they reported it and their commentary on it. It was much better when the expression of conservative dissent was limited to the local bar and the renegade conservative newspaper columnist.

A good way to determine which group of people is credible is to notice which is unafraid of the liberal flow of information and of the public’s ability to separate fact from fiction. Those who want to control the information are the suspect ones. Former Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis famously said, “Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants.” Ironically, liar-nObama once approvingly cited this. You will note that it is never conservatives who advocate limitations on free expression through campus speech codes and other forms of censorship.

If leftists weren’t so self-important, they might understand that these things they call “facts” are not always objectively true. Take liar-nObama’s dogmatic assertion that 99 percent of scientists believe the planet is getting warmer. Many dispute that assertion, saying that it is based on a skewed study and that there are thousands of scientists known to disagree. Further, many believe that even if it’s occurring, it is not primarily being caused by human beings and that, even if it is, there is not much we could do, short of returning to a Stone Age-like existence, to reverse the process, and it’s doubtful that would work, either. Studies have shown that the draconian measures leftists support wouldn’t appreciably reduce global mean temperature in 100 years.

But if we disagree with liar-nObama’s facts, then we are ridiculed as science deniers and told that there is a consensus, and the matter is closed – claims that are wholly antithetical to the scientific method.

Leftists’ attitude that their subjective opinions should be universally recognized as objective truth is precisely why we need to promote the flow of information from all sources and let the people decide for themselves what is and isn’t credible. Thank heavens for the advent of conservative radio, conservative TV news and the internet, all of which, in various ways, liberals are trying to undermine or seize control over. Beware.

Israeli Defense Against 30K Palestinians 

Shows Border Wall, Guns Actually Do Work

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ The current orchestrated unrest at the Israeli border holds examples of many truths that Conservatives have long understood... and which the left attempts to dispel through “philosophical, enlightened thinking-based” false arguments. The most glaring refutation of leftist propaganda is that border walls don’t work. In this instance, even large border berms, manned by armed Israeli military personnel, worked very well. There were zero intrusions into Israeli territory despite having a mob of 30,000 poised for invasion, including many terrorists, who were part of the Hamas led aggression. An actual wall would have been a much less inviting target. Clearly the terrorists and their mob sees the border structure, along with the military, as the primary obstructions to their being able to force their way into the country. IDF officials predict the violence will continue and that even after 30,000 rioters are repelled and dispersed, there will still be attempts to sabotage the border fence and conduct attacks...  https://rickwells.us/israeli-border-wall-guns/ 

Week After China Vows “Bloody Battle,” 

Massive Fleet Appears in South China Sea

{ conservativetribune.com } ~ Part of the Pacific Ocean might be becoming a very dangerous place... Most American media might be consumed with teenagers stomping their feet about gun control these days, but American and international military planners are keeping their eyes on a large Chinese naval deployment in the South China Sea this week. And the Chinese knew the world was watching. According to Reuters, at least 40 Chinese naval vessels — including an aircraft carrier — embarked on a very public show of force in the South China Sea this week. Satellite images show a flotilla led by submarines in “a line formation more suited to visual propaganda than hard military maneuvers,” Reuters reported...

Dershowitz warns political differences turning into crime

{ wnd.com } ~ Longtime civil-liberties lawyer and commentator on all things legal Alan Dershowitz says that Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation should end... If it continues, he warned, it could lead to the practice of turning political differences into crime. “I think the investigation should end and I think the Congress should appoint a special non-partisan commission,” said Dershowitz in an interview with the CBS TV affiliate in Dallas-Forth Worth. Political reporter Jack Fink asked him about Mueller’s investigation, which originally was supposed to look into claims of Trump campaign collusion with Russia. It has produced no evidence of that, but by the subjects Mueller’s interviewing and the questions he’s asking, it appears he’s gone far afield from his original assignment...  http://www.wnd.com/2018/03/dershowitz-warns-political-differences-turning-into-crime/

5K+ Central America Peasants Marching 

To US Border With Mexico’s Blessing 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ With a caravan of illegal alien future welfare recipients being allowed by Mexico to make their way through their nation with the objective of entering ours... President Trump will have a decision to make in less than thirty days. It should be a no-brainer, to quote Nancy Reagan, to “Just say no,” when they get to the border and make their requests for the liar-nObama-distorted economic asylum. Mexico is allowing them to pass through in an apparent act of retaliation against the United States for the border wall, attempts to make them pay for it, and perhaps as a response to pressure to renegotiate NAFTA. They seem to be attempting to send a message using the 1,500 illegal invader families, likely more than 5,000 individuals, as their weapon. It’s depicted as a grass roots event but these things don’t happen without big money behind them. Maybe scum-George Soros spread some of that leftover USAID money he scammed off of the American people among the right Mexican officials... https://rickwells.us/5k-peasants-border-mexico-blessing/

{ jewishworldreview.com } ~ In the see-saw world of British politics, Prime Minister Theresa May is on the way back up, buoyed by international support for her stand against Russia, just as opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn is struggling with accusations of anti-Semitism.

May's patient and sometimes painful strategy of staying close to Donald Trump's administration seemed to have paid dividends Monday when he ordered 60 Russian diplomats expelled from the U.S. over the nerve agent attack on an ex-spy on British soil. Fourteen EU countries also put aside differences over Brexit and announced similar sanctions in a coordinated move.

Meanwhile Corbyn, whose internal critics have largely bitten their tongues since his unexpectedly good election performance in 2017, was the target of a demonstration outside Parliament led by Jews -- and joined by some of his own lawmakers - who said he is too tolerant of anti-Semitism in his party.

"He's got to take personal responsibility," said Labour lawmaker Ian Austin, who joined several of his colleagues, including one-time leadership contenders Chuka Umunna and Liz Kendall at the protest, which filled Parliament Square. "He's got to apologize personally and he's got to kick these people out of the party."

The protest was called by Jewish community groups who ran out of patience with Corbyn when he was forced to apologize for his opposition to the removal of an anti-Semitic mural in east London in 2012.

His defense of the painting, in a Facebook posting, was an example of "repeated institutional failure to properly address Jewish concerns and to tackle anti-Semitism," the leaders of the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council said in an open letter. "Again and again, Jeremy Corbyn has sided with anti-Semites rather than Jews."

Julie Pelta, 41, a heathcare worker who joined the protest, said she might have been persuaded to vote for the party in the past, but Corbyn has made her "more vehemently against Labour than I've ever been."

Corbyn on Monday afternoon issued the latest of a series of statements attempting to close down the dispute. Anti-Semitic conspiracy theories are "the socialism of fools," he wrote, committing himself to being "a militant opponent of antisemitism." But his opponents weren't deterred.

As protesters chanted "Oh, Jeremy's a racist," to a tune more often used by his supporters when chanting his name, Corbyn's reception inside the House of Commons was no less cutting. Lawmakers - including some from his own side who hadn't joined the protest - made clear their displeasure at the Labour leader's stance on the attempted murder of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury, western England.

He looked uncomfortable and was reluctant to take interventions as he faced open ridicule at the start of a debate on relations with Russia. Labour lawmaker John Woodcock, a long-time opponent, said his leader's claim that he had been a critic of President Vladimir Putin for 20 years was "just not true."

Corbyn refused to join May's government in blaming Putin for the Salisbury attack, saying only that Russia had "a direct or indirect responsibility," keeping open his earlier suggestion that rogue elements or gangsters may have been responsible. He called for May to crack down on Russian oligarchs in Britain and made the case for maintaining relations with the Kremlin so there can be "a constructive and robust dialog."

"We once stood as allies with the Russian people, millions of whom died in a mutual struggle for survival against the Nazis during the Second World War," Corbyn said. "If we can come through this era of division and hostility, we can, I am sure, be allies again."

In a sign of the cross-party hostility aimed at Corbyn, Deputy Speaker Eleanor Laing, who was overseeing the debate, at one point told lawmakers: "We cannot have both sides of the House shouting at the Leader of the Opposition."

Tuesday's newspapers didn't relieve the pressure on the Labour leader. "Enough is Enough Mr Corbyn!" the Daily Mail said on its front page alongside a picture of protesters outside Parliament. The Times emphasized the urgency of his task, saying "Anti-Semites will Destroy Labour, Senior MPs Warn."

May has had little to cheer about in the last year, with her expected political lifespan sometimes measured in days. But in Parliament on Monday she for once enjoyed the wholehearted support of her Conservative Party - as well as many in Labour.

While Britain would like "constructive" relations with Russia, it needs to "face the facts," she told lawmakers.

"President Putin's regime is carrying out acts of aggression against our values and interests within Europe and beyond. The challenge of Russia is one that will endure for years to come," she said. "As a European democracy, the United Kingdom will stand shoulder to shoulder with our allies in the European Union and NATO to face down these threats together."

Is This Finally the End of Mueller? 

by Dick Morris

{ westernjournal.com } ~ In a huge breakthough, attorneys for Paul Manafort have filed a motion to dismiss his indictment... based on a possibly fatal flaw in the authority of special prosecutor Bob Mueller to bring the charges. Mueller, they point out, derives his authority from his appointment by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosensetein. Rosenstein, in turn derives his from the recusal by Attorney General Jeff Sessions from “any existing or future investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for President of the United States.” But, Manafort’s lawyers point out, Sessions’ recusal applies only to matters relating to the campaign. As Mueller’s probe has ranged far and wide quite apart from anything that happened during the campaign, he is exceeding the authority Rosenstein was able to confer on the prosecutor...   https://www.westernjournal.com/dick-morris-is-this-finally-the-end-of-mueller/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=newsletter-WJ&utm_campaign=dailyam&utm_content=western-journal

US-North Korea summit: How Trump can score a major deal 

by David Adesnik

{ defenddemocracy.org } ~ White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Wednesday that “we feel like things are moving in the right direction”... heading into a planned summit between President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in May. If the meeting takes place, it will confront the U.S. president with the consummate test of his skills as a deal maker, since no one has played American negotiators for fools more consistently than the North Koreans. Kim’s meeting in Beijing this week with Chinese President Xi Jinping moved U.S.-North Korean talks a step closer, since it’s understandable that Kim would want to confer with his Chinese patrons before a meeting with the American president. Still, the odds are that North Korea has no intention of negotiating away its nuclear arsenal. Yet if there is a good deal to be had, President Trump will only get it by avoiding the mistakes of his predecessors. Past Republican and Democratic presidents and their administrations have made two critical errors that ensured North Korea would be the only beneficiary of high-stakes nuclear diplomacy...   http://www.defenddemocracy.org/media-hit/david-adesnik-us-north-korea-summit-how-trump-can-score-a-major-deal/

New York’s Corruption Pit 

by SETH BARRON

{ city-journal.org } ~ As usual, New York is flush with political corruption scandals, with a number of trials and investigations in progress or gearing up... Alain Kaloyeros, the nanotech Svengali and Andrew Cuomo associate who had been in charge of hundreds of millions of dollars of state funds, is accused of rigging bids for personal gain. Retrials are scheduled to begin in the cases of former state assembly speaker Sheldon Silver and former state senate president Dean Skelos; both men’s corruption convictions were overturned. Cuomo aide and close friend Joseph Percoco was convicted in March of influence peddling, and the trial of Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano for accepting bribes has revived allegations of corruption that have haunted Mayor Bill de Blasio, whom a key witness in the Mangano case has pleaded guilty to bribing. Curiously, all these cases are taking place in federal court, though New York does not lack for state or local oversight of corruption. In fact, New York has some of the nation’s strongest anticorruption laws and multiple cross-jurisdictional agencies that can address political malfeasance of any sort. County district attorneys, responsible for prosecuting violations of state and local law, are the primary legal players in public corruption cases. New York State’s attorney general is technically barred from prosecuting bribes and violations of election law, though Governor Cuomo radically expanded the power of that office when he investigated Eliot Spitzer’s use of state police to spy on his political enemies. The state’s current attorney general, Eric Schneiderman, established the Public Integrity Bureau to handle “complex investigations into government corruption, fraud and abuse of authority.” The Joint Commission on Public Ethics (JCOPE), a state-level authority, has jurisdiction over public employees and elected officials. In New York City, the Campaign Finance Board (CFB) investigates compliance with Gotham’s expansive laws in this area; the city council has wide and untapped subpoena power; and the Department of Investigation has broad oversight over every aspect of municipal government, including the power to investigate people or entities that receive benefits from, or do business with, the city... https://www.city-journal.org/html/new-yorks-corruption-pit-15797.html?utm_source=City+Journal+Update&utm_campaign=ed6a6ccb16-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_03_29&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_6c08930f2b-ed6a6ccb16-109328273

“Piglet” Hogg Crying About Ingraham Tweeting 

He’s An Immature Whiner Makes Her Point 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ Laura Ingraham must have known better than to give the political extortionists behind the disarmament movement an inch... knowing they would perceive it as a victory and go for the proverbial mile, but she do so anyway. Now she’s paying the price for that decision but in return is exposing them for what they are, probably a good thing for the nation as we battle these would-be tyrant enablers. The left and their agenda are hiding behind the age of their student agitators and using it and their victim status as a “how dare you” weapon against conservatives and patriots. They went through a bad experience, we all have bad things happen in our lives. That doesn’t mean we have to bow down to them or treat them as if they’re suddenly worthy of dictatorial status. They’re ignorant high school kids. They might outgrow it in twenty or thirty years, though their willingness to be tools of the left indicates that is unlikely. In no way are they anyone worth listening to today. They’re entitled to their opinion; so are we and the Constitution is on our side... https://rickwells.us/piglet-hogg-ingraham-whiner/

{ jewishworldreview.com } ~ Most people can tell you who the potential jihadists are, especially the ones in Europe and the USA.

You can point them out in a group: they are immigrants, or more often, the children of immigrants, who came from the Middle East or North Africa. They often converse among one another in Arabic. Many want to join the Islamic State and other terror groups in Syria, or have gone and since returned. They are mostly men, usually around age 20 or less, and have grown up feeling alienated from the societies in which they live.

Most of this is wrong.

In fact, the UK-based Henry Jackson Society has found that "those who convert to Islam are four times more likely to become terrorists than those who are born Muslims." And in 2015, the Washington Postwarned that converts have emerged "as some of the most dangerous and fanatical adherents to radical Islam."

Now a recent study in the Netherlands shows that "the share of converts to Islamist extremism tends to be significantly higher" than those born into the faith. As many as 17 percent of Dutch converts have joined the caliphate, the study's authors claim - seven times more than the percentage of converts to the entire Dutch Muslim community. And most of those are women.

That study is supported by previous reports that show that as many as 25 percent of the French Muslims who have made hijrah to Syria are converts from other faiths. Figures are slightly lower - one in six, or about 17 percent- in Germany. In the UK, according to the Economist, though converts comprise fewer than 4 percent of all Muslims, they account for 12 percent of "home-grown jihadists." And in America, while one-fifth of Muslims are converts, two-fifths, or 40 percent, of those arrested on suspicion of ISIS ties in 2015 had converted.

A review of recent attacks confirms this. Converts were involved in the attempted 2015 Garland, Texas attack on a contest to draw the prophet Mohammed; the killing of four people outside London's Houses of Parliament; and the London July 7, 2005 bombings. Samantha Lewthwaite, the "white widow" said to be responsible for the deaths of more than 400 people - including those killed in the 7/7 attack, is a convert, as was the Belgian Muriel Deguaque, who blew herself up in Iraq in 2005. And in America, Colleen La Rose, aka Jihad Jane, collaborated with another convert, Jamie Paulin-Ramirez, in a failed plot to murder Lars Vilks, the Swedish cartoonist who had drawn cartoons of Islam's prophet Mohammed.

The number of women among them is notable: according to the BBC, unlike the men, the "vast majority" of women who join ISIS from the West are converts. Similarly, according to the Dutch report, of the Dutch converts who have joined the Islamic state, 61 percent were women - a figure that seems consistent with other countries, as well. Among the more well-known: Jaelyn Delshaun Young, a University of Mississippi chemistry student, apprehended en route to the Islamic State in 2015; Fatima Az Zahra, neé Maria Giulia Sergio, an Italian Roman Catholic convert whom the Italian media now calls "Lady Jihad"; and British ex-punk-rocker Sally Jones, whom counter-terrorists consider an active, effective, and therefore dangerous recruiter.

Also of note in the Dutch study is the age of the individuals who have gone to Syria: they are on average 23 though according to other analyses, the average German and American who makes the trip is 26. The average ISIS-jihadist, in other words, is older than many believe these young radicals to be.

None of this is accidental, according to Mubin Shaikh, a former Muslim radical turned counterterrorism professional and the author of Undercover Jihadi: Inside the Toronto 18. In the early days of the Islamic State, he said in a recent phone interview, ISIS recruiters "would get a bonus if they brought women over. There were units dedicated to recruiting Western women to use as propaganda, specifically targeting converts."

All of which suggests that our current "profile" of your average radicalized Muslim may need updating. And perhaps, too, we should be tweaking elements of counter-terrorism approaches worldwide. Shaikh believes the primary focus needs to be on "human intelligence" and better monitoring within the (Muslim) community. "That's where the best tips come from," he said. "But it's a sensitive topic. Do we need to send more spies into the community? Then the community feels they can't trust anyone anymore. But that's the price you pay. If a threat is coming from a particular community, you need to convince them to come forward."

That community includes converts' families, who often are too uninformed about Islam, and rarely pay attention to what or who has influenced the new convert's decision. And the problem, he said, is that many of these younger converts "don't actually convert to Islam. They convert to extremism." Hence families, especially parents, "need to be vigilant. Identify what they are converting to. People need to know who these groups are. Who are Salafis? Who are Sunnis? Sufis? You need to find out what their ideology is."

But this alone is not enough. "I'm a big believer in sting operations," Shaikh said, "because you often can't talk them out of it. They continue to go down the route of extremism to the road of terrorism." And even if the community goes to the authorities, he pointed out, "how often do we hear 'he was known to the police'? Two of the three London attackers were 'reported to the police.' But what does that mean? So you need more human intelligence. You need spies."

At the same time, Bart Schuurman, an assistant professor at Leiden University's Institute of Security and Global Affairs and co-author of "Converts and Islamist Terrorism," a policy brief produced by the International Center for Counter Terrorism in The Hague, cautioned in a recent interview, "We don't want all converts to be seen as a terror threat. The vast majority do not get involved in terrorism whatsoever." Hence, despite the "overrepresentation of converts" among terrorists and extremists, he said, "conversion itself should not be seen as a risk factor for violence."

Yet the number of violent, radicalized converts to Islam also shows that many current counterterrorism initiatives may be misplaced. Both Schuurman and Shaikh point to popular proposals for Muslim bans in the United States and several European countries. Those bans are especially ineffective, noted Shaikh, if they only involve specific Muslim regions of the Middle East and North Africa. "It's too quickly expanding," he said, referring to radical Islam. "And ultimately it doesn't work anyway, because the majority threat is coming from the inside." Similarly, Schuurman observed, "If you want to prevent people from doing harm to your society, it helps to understand what makes them do harm in the first place; and if you have a 'Muslim travel ban,' if you feed into the narrative that the West is at war with Islam, it doesn't help security in Amsterdam or Chicago."

What does help, said Shaikh, who practices Sufism - a mystic, spiritual movement within Islam - and whose wife converted to Islam from Catholicism, is to create a different narrative, both for those born Muslim and for converts. "I don't think we can stop the conversion. But there is a pro-Western argument to be made that the Muslims who are flourishing in the world are doing so in non-Muslim countries, expressly because of their interfaith, secular cultures. Where in the world has radical Islam brought wealth, or success, or dignity? Name me one place, and I'll sell up and go live there. Because it doesn't exist."

Teacher unions and anti-gun radicals use kids as cannon fodder

Over the past few weeks, we’ve observed a disturbing scenario unfold nationally and in West Virginia.

Teacher unions in West Virginia and the anti-gun crowd nationally use a despicable tactic notoriously employed by terrorists. They march and hide behind children, symbolically shouting, don’t dare to attack us; an attack on us is an attack upon children. Their drumbeat is always, “We’re doing this for the children!”

These tactics of using unwitting minors as instruments to further their anti-gun or any other agenda are contemptible. Indoctrinating the young and naïve into believing the talking points of tyrants is the foremost undertaking of unprincipled, leftwing fascists.

When the anti-gun vultures swoop down to feast on their favorite disaster, we must ask what malevolence these people have in their heart.  Every thinking person knows positively that banning guns in schools attract unhinged maniacs determined to kill children. Therefore, we should conclude that their narrative must be; more victims - more powerful argument for disarming Americans.

The same liberal morons that demand we leave children undefended and defenseless are the ones screaming the loudest when the obvious and inevitable occurs.

The truly amazing thing is nearly all mass killings, gang killings, and drug violence occur in neighborhoods, cities, and states controlled and administrated by Democrats. Moreover, all are areas with the strongest, most oppressive gun control laws in the nation.  Disarming people obviously cause more killings of innocent Americans because killers know in advance where the softest targets exist.

The reason liberals hate the Second Amendment is obvious; nearly everyone in their Covey is a liberal, and they can’t imagine such birdbrains owning or having access to guns. It naturally follows they think conservatives are total idiots, thus, even more dangerous.

If the teacher demonstrations and anti-constitution marches tell us anything, it’s that extortion, intimidation, and bullying works. It especially works when teacher union members accost, demean, harass, and verbally assault state delegates and senators. The professionalism of teachers engaging in this vile conduct must be questioned and their actions condemned. West Virginia teachers received pay increases at the expense of education and by sullying teacher reputations.

Schools and teachers involved in these protests over gun ownership and illegal strikes over wages are usually radicalized union comrades and members of the Marxist Democrat Party.

The Democrat Party is the biggest enemy of gun rights in our nation largely because they universally believe that American citizens have no right to self-defense or own guns. Passing anti-gun laws and nullifying the Second Amendment shows ignorance or contempt for the Bill of Rights.

Electing any Democrats to federal, state, or local offices increase the Party’s overall strength and can tip these controlling bodies to continue the fight to disarm Americans. Just one more Democrat in the House or Senate could make the difference between tyranny and liberty.

Even when a Democrat feigns support for gun rights, like Democrat Senator, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, he adds power to the anti-gun Democrat Party and lobby groups. Manchin thinks the Second Amendment is all about hunting. Manchin is worse than a wolf in sheep’s clothing; he’s a chameleon and a charlatan, able to change his appearance on issues based on the group he is regaling. He’s announced with great clarity when talking with liberals that the Second Amendment is on the table for discussion.

Placing signs at a school announcing hundreds of children are unprotected can result in nothing but temptation to a homicidal maniac. One would have to be devoid of any common sense to believe otherwise.  Would any of the lunatic-left post a sign in their yard or on their door announcing they are unprotected by guns?

Not long ago the anti-gun lobby went stark raving mad in a national crusade against hand guns. Now the point of their objection is assault weapons. The truth is that any weapon used to assault another person is an assault weapon. It can be a handgun, rifle, shotgun, knife, hammer, or an automobile. A defensive weapon is any weapon used in self-defense. It can be any of the same ones used as an assault weapon. A previous misguided ban on assault weapons was fruitless, except for the smug, self- righteous satisfaction liberal Democrats derived from the ban. 

Hanging on the cloud of liberal idealism makes progressives lose touch with reality. These disciples of disinformation and indoctrination are either blinded by the bright light of real solutions to violence or willing to allow higher death tolls to keep the gun-control issue alive and in the forefront of media and the leftwing establishment. Reality, even to these mental lightweights, tells them that gun control laws will not stop mass killings. Confiscation of firearms and elimination of the Second Amendment is their ultimate goal.

Trump administration announces 100 miles of border wall

by Anna Giaritelli

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ The Trump administration will use $1.6 billion in new congressional funding for 100 miles of new and replacement border wall along the U.S.-Mexico boundary... Acting Deputy Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection Ronald Vitiello said Friday. Vitiello described the wall system as a "comprehensive solution that provides wall, lighting, enforcement cameras, and other related technology, and all-weather roads to impede and deny illegal cross-border activity." Roughly 47 miles of current border wall will be replaced. Vitiello said multiple times he could not cite how much of the construction would be new, though the remaining 53 miles are expected to fill in that gap...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/trump-administration-announces-100-miles-of-border-wall

Stop Indoctrinating our Children

by Frontpagemag.com

{ frontpagemag.com } ~ One of the most dangerous developments of the last few decades has been the subversion of our universities by radicals who in the 1960s first tried to burn them down and then... after this strategy of destruction failed, decided to get on the tenure track to take them over. Their generational long march succeeded, possibly beyond their wildest expectations. With the exception of a few rear guard actions by brave conservative students, American higher education is now an indoctrination center for cultural Marxism, identity racism and other anti-American ideas. But the left’s demolition project is not yet complete. To make the victory complete, it must take over all of American education, including the schooling of our youngest and most vulnerable students. This effort is now well advanced as radical leftists use their control of the university Ed schools and the teacher unions as a base to extend their ideological campaigns into the K-12 system. Their shock troops include teachers, administrators and textbook publishers and feature “theorists” such as former Weatherman Bill Ayers who reinvented himself as an eminent Professor of Early Childhood Education at the University of Illinois when his days as a terrorist had ended who provide the manuals on “teaching for social justice” that target teacher training programs and ultimately children as early as kindergarten for radical indoctrination...

How the U.N. Helps Hamas, Hezbollah Wage War Against Israel

by Aaron Kliegman

{ freebeacon.com } ~ It is a sad irony that an organization founded in the wake of the Holocaust to prevent war and protect human rights... now helps advance the cause of terrorist groups seeking to destroy the Jewish state. Yet officials at the United Nations do not blink when they direct all of their ire, all of their moral righteousness at Israel, the lone democracy in the Middle East—not at the world's belligerent, authoritarian regimes in Iran, North Korea, and elsewhere. The U.N. is now demanding that Jerusalem pay compensation for damage that Israel's military did to seven U.N. facilities in the Gaza Strip during the 2014 war between Hamas and Israel. "On 22 March, the U.N. submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel a claim for reimbursement for the losses that the U.N. had sustained in seven incidents in 2014," U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq told the Jerusalem Post on Tuesday. The international organization "also submitted a claim for the losses sustained by the dependents of one of its staff members who was killed in one of the incidents," Haq said, adding that a U.N. board of inquiry, which finished its work in 2015, examined the matter and "found that the seven incidents in which U.N. premises were hit were all attributable to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]."...

ANALYSIS: Constitution Compels 

Sessions Dismiss Mueller From Non-Campaign Cases

by Robert Barnes

{ lawandcrime.com } ~ Paul Manafort‘s legal team brought a motion to dismiss on Tuesday... noting that Rosenstein could not appoint Mueller to any investigation outside the scope of the 2016 campaign since Sessions did not recuse himself for anything outside the campaign. I agree with this take on Mueller’s authority. If we follow that argument that would mean Sessions himself has exclusive authority to appoint a special counsel for non-collusion charges, and Sessions has taken no such action. Sessions himself should make that clear to Mueller, rather than await court resolution. Doing so would remove three of the four areas of inquiry from Mueller’s requested interview with President Trump. Sessions formally notifying Mueller that he does not have authority to act outside of campaign-related cases and cases related to obstruction of Mueller’s investigation would be doing what the Constitution compels: enforcing the Appointments Clause of the Constitution. Additionally, Sessions notifying Mueller that he does not have authority to act outside of campaign-related cases would be exercising Sessions’ court-recognized Constitutional  obligation to “direct and supervise litigation” conducted by the Department of Justice. Furthermore, Sessions notifying Mueller that he does not have authority to act outside of campaign-related cases protects against the inappropriate use of the federal grand jury that defendant Manafort now rightly complains about. Sessions limiting Mueller to the 2016 campaign would also be restoring confidence in democratic institutions, and restore public faith that democratically elected officials... https://lawandcrime.com/opinion/constitution-jeff-sessions-dismiss-robert-mueller-non-campaign-cases/

Shakedown Sharpton Ambulance Chases 

For Black Criminal Privilege – Attacks Trump, Cops 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ The Neanderthal Skeletor, Al Sharpton, made his return to the television cameras to parasitically feed off the corpse of another dead criminal... this time in Sacramento, California. The dead thug, Stephon Clark, was shot while running from police after a vandalism report of broken car windows and being mistaken for pointing a gun at the police officers. Failing to recognize the culpability of the criminal he’s using to propel himself into the spotlight is a given for illiterate Al, who, after over a year of the Trump Administration, is still unable to discern Sarah Sanders from one of his favorite cartoon characters. He calls her Sarah Hucklebee Sanders, apparently she’s his huckleberry. The racist defender of criminal behavior and crusader against police using force against thugs because of their black privilege, took offense that Sanders labeled the shooting of the hoodlum a local issue. It’s not local because any black criminal nationwide should be given a fair shot at killing the pursuing police officers they’re running from. It’s not a fair fight unless they’re given that opportunity...  https://rickwells.us/sharpton-black-criminal-privilege/

Toxic Progressivism Champions Toxic Masculinity 

by Arnold Ahlert:  Seven states — California, Florida, Louisiana, Georgia, Montana, Oregon and Wisconsin — have laws in place requiring the chemical castration of men convicted of violent sex crimes. Oklahoma is attempting to become the eighth state to enact a similar measure.  Time magazine characterizes these laws as “controversial” and Oklahoma’s ACLU chapter spokeswoman Allie Shinn insists such laws may violate the Eighth Amendment prohibition of “cruel and unusual” punishment. No doubt most progressives would heartily agree. Yet many of those same progressives support the symbolic castration of American males, promulgated as “toxic masculinity.”

               Unsurprisingly, college campuses are leading the charge. “Duke University is famous for its science and engineering programs, as well as its dominance in college basketball,” Fox News reported in 2016. “Now, it may also become known as a great place for men to gather and contemplate why they’re such horrible people.”
               The Campus Women’s Center launched the project, targeting “male identified” students and subjecting them to discussions about “male privilege, patriarchy, ‘the language of dominance,’ rape culture, pornography, machismo and other topics,” Fox adds.
               The term “male identified” is a window into this poisonous mindset, one that first denies biological and chromosomal reality and then presumes that the default position for any man or boy who refuses to abide progressive assertions of gender “fluidity” is toxic.
               And like every leftist effort to promote their odious agenda, a full-scale, coordinated propaganda campaign is an essential part of the mix. “The term ‘toxic masculinity’ has crept into the lexicon in the past 12 months, having appeared in mainstream news articles, popular feminist blogs and, as of November, the crowd-sourced online repository of slang words, Urban Dictionary,” columnist Hayley Gleeson explained in 2017. “Generally used to denote how some aspects of masculinity — such as entitlement, homophobia and sexual aggressiveness — can harm women and families and cripple men’s own health, toxic masculinity, at its most extreme edges, has been linked with acts of violence like mass shootings and university campus sexual assault.”
               Cue the tie to the Parkland shooting. “As I read about [the assailant’s] passion for guns, I was not surprised,” declares columnist Ziad Ahmed. “As an American teenage boy, the gross glorification of violence, weapons, and arms in our culture is not the least bit surprising. In fact, it’s deeply entrenched into the idea of American masculinity, beginning as early as in elementary school.”
               Really? American masculinity per se is at best entitled, homophobic and aggressive, and at worst homicidal? Such pernicious garbage can only be asserted by one almost wholly ignorant of American history. Boys were once allowed to embrace their natural rambunctiousness, but that now constitutes “abnormal” behavior requiring life-altering drugs such as Ritalin and Adderall to treat the nearly one in five children between the ages of four and 17 — overwhelmingly boys — who have been diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
               As for guns, Spokane Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich said it best: “When I was in high school, every one of those rigs in the high-school parking lot had a gun in the gun rack. Why? We went hunting on the way home. None of those guns ever walked into a school, none of those guns ever shot anybody. … Did the gun change or did you as a society change?”
               Society has certainly cultivated an unprecedented level of hypocrisy. How many of the same celebrities who attended last weekend’s anti-gun fest have starred in movies or written songs that glorify violence — and have armed security protecting them?
               And while those very same purveyors of the pop culture glorify guns and violence, they also seek to undermine masculinity by producing entertainment containing “endless variations on the omega male, who ranks even below the beta in the wolf pack,” as columnist Hanna Rosin puts it.
               Ironically, it’s most likely that the least hysterical progressive assertion about toxic masculinity is the one that is the most deleterious, as in the oft-stated feminist assertion that men are unnecessary. In their book,  The Flipside of Feminism, authors Suzanne Venker and Phyllis Schlafly assert, “In the space of just a few decades American women have managed to demote men from respected providers and protectors to being unnecessary, irrelevant, and expendable.”
               Unfortunately, more and more men are buying into that assertion. In 2016, NPR revealed more American men between the ages of 18 and 34 live with their parents than a spouse or partner, while the numbers for women are exactly reversed. In 2017, The Atlantic revealed that the 58%-42% ratio of men versus women attending college in the 1970s “has now almost exactly reversed.” A couple of weeks ago, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson illuminated an even deeper crisis, noting that men are dying younger, are fatter, kill themselves more often, and are imprisoned at far higher rates than women.
               Government has aided and abetted the notion of expendability as well, and nothing did it better than Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society”  initiative. Before the Great Society, the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program was reserved for widows, as a means of funding once-married women who had lost the primary male supporter of the family. Johnson and Congress changed the qualifications, making any household where there was no male family head present eligible for taxpayer subsidies.
               The resulting tsunami of men failing to take responsibility for their own children has become irrefutable. In 1965, 24% of black children and 3.1% of white children were born out of wedlock. By 2013, those numbers had skyrocketed to 72% and 29%, respectively.
               “Males in particular have been neutered by the Entitlement Society and the Welfare State,” Forbes Magazine asserted in 2015. “Groups which have the most contact with the welfare state, especially through various public assistance policies … have seen the greatest amount of male neutering,” the article adds.
               One might conclude such neutering is a bug in the system. That conclusion is naïve. Toxic masculinity, beta male-worship and the wholesale destruction of the nuclear family engendered by “unnecessary” men is a feature of the progressive project that is all about the acquisition and maintenance of government power by any means necessary, even if it includes tossing self-reliant men — a trait now deemed to be “associated with negative mental health outcomes” by the American Psychological Association — on the ash heap of history.
               Tucker Carlson spoke to the “elemental biology” of men and women needing each other. Progressives speak to the necessity of completely eliminating the terms “men” and “women” in pursuit of a utopian society that is really about “tearing away the old in search of the new, evidence be damned,” as columnist Ben Shapiro asserts. Not evidence, Mr. Shapiro. Liberty. Toxic masculinity? Toxic progressivism is more like it.

Farrell Points Out Evidence 

liar-nObama Regime Orchestrating Coup 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ Judicial Watch Director of Investigations and Research, Chris Farrell, joined Stewart Varney for a discussion... of how new text messages between the lawless lovebirds Peter Strzok and Lisa Page could provide a link between the FBI Coup attempt and the criminal liar-nObama regime. Farrell says, “There’s clear evidence, in their own language, their own text messages, explaining how they were communicating, coordinating with White House officials.” He references a text message uncovered a few weeks back from Lisa Page, that says, ‘Potus wants to know everything we’re doing.’ That is pretty clear language by anyone’s standard.” He continues, “We also know that Andy McCabe had meetings on his calendar with Lisa Monaco, who was the liar-nObama White House Homeland Security Director. And guess who she used to work for – Mr. Mueller. So this is all very cozy and it’s very apparent now with the addition of Brennan, who, just in his last few television appearances, seems somewhat unhinged, that there was direct White House involvement in this if not coordination.”... https://rickwells.us/farrell-obama-orchestrating-coup/

Judge Napolitano Thinks Inspector General Will Find 

‘Treasure Trove’ Of Abuses By The FBI Against Trump

by Nick Givas

{ dailycaller.com } ~ Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano said an investigation into the FBI and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court... will yield a “treasure trove” of abuses, Thursday on “Fox & Friends.” “The FBI was never perfect. Made up of human beings that have political aspirations and political ideas. But when it was confined just to law enforcement, it knew how to do its job. After 9/11, when the FBI was moved into intelligence-gathering as well as law enforcement, the abuses began to ramp up,” Napolitano said. “It’s not just Andrew McCabe. By the time McCabe got there, the concept of — You want a warrant? Go to FISA. They issue any warrant you want. That attitude among FBI and intelligence officials in the NSA was so rampant they all did it. Hence the FISA court awarding 99.9 percent of all warrants requested.” Napolitano was shocked by the ratio of approved FISA Court applications and said he expects investigators to uncover numerous abuses by the FBI against President Donald Trump and everyday Americans...  http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/29/judge-napolitano-treasure-trove-of-abuses-at-fbi/?utm_medium=email

Newly released Strzok-Page texts suggest a sneaky cabal

There is nothing close to a smoking gun here, I am afraid. Nonetheless, the new Strzok-Page text messages released yesterday – more than 49,000 of their texts remain to be released – suggest that, contrary to liar-nObama administration claims, White House chief of staff Denis McDonough was a participant in the launching of an FBI counterintelligence investigation into allegations of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign. Other members of what could be a cabal include then-Senate minority leader Harry dinky-Reid; CIA chief John Brennan; and FBI officials, including Director James Comey and members of Andrew McCabe's counterintelligence division.

Brigitte Gabriel: A Voice Against Radical Islamic Terrorism 

by Caroline C. Lewis:  When Brigitte Gabriel was only 10 years old, militant Islamic terrorists attacked her home in Southern Lebanon, destroying her home and seriously injuring her. For the next seven years, she lived with her family in a 10x12 foot bomb shelter as terrorists destroyed her beloved country. That horrific experience prepared her for a mission in life.

               Ms. Gabriel now stands as a strong, clear voice against radical Islamic terrorism with her organization, ACT for America — the largest national security grassroots organization in the U.S., composed of more than 750,000 members and 1,000 chapters. She has written two New York Times best-selling books and appears regularly on Fox News Channel, CNN and MSNBC as a guest analyst. As one of the foremost terrorism experts in the world, Gabriel has addressed the United Nations, members of both the British Parliament and the U.S. Congress, the Pentagon, the Joint Forces Staff College, the U.S. Special Operations Command, the U.S. Asymmetric Warfare group, the FBI and others.
               Unsurprisingly, not everyone agrees with her clear anti-terrorist message, mislabeling it as “hatred.” Specifically, the Southern Poverty Law Center, a hate-peddling organization itself, has labeled ACT for America a “hate group.” While true hatred means the emotion and actions of terror and murder, SPLC’s rubric for hatred includes some true hate groups (like the KKK) alongside groups with whom the SPLC simply disagrees (like the Family Research Council).
               By confusing the concept of “disagreement” with “hatred,” the SPLC seeks to vilify those who support traditional marriage or raise awareness about America’s national security with respect to radical Islam. While radical Islamists seek to murder Christians, Jews and homosexuals — a hatred extending to whole groups of people that should qualify as a true hate group — only those communicating the truth about this ideology have been vilified as the “haters.”
               Among their criticisms of Gabriel’s work, opponents consider her views as anti-Muslim, Islamophobic and racist. Yet Gabriel distinguishes between Sharia-adherent Muslims who model their lives after Mohammed’s example of rising to power through violence and murder and those who are not.
               Gabriel also advocates for stopping Sharia law from being used in the U.S. court system because it allows for domestic violence (men can beat their wives), honor killings (murdering those who dishonor the family or convert to another religion) and supports female genital mutilation (the cutting of the clitoris of young girls). The reality of Sharia law and its implicit potential for human rights abuses can be difficult, even uncomfortable to fathom, but this unfortunate reality cannot be minimized or ignored.
               Brigitte Gabriel’s experiences, in combination with reason and evidence, have uniquely qualified her to speak with clarity on the issue of radical Islamic terrorism. In recent years, there has been a popular (though not entirely accurate) stream of thought emphasizing experience (rather than reason and evidence) as the only qualifier for speakers. For example, only women can speak about women’s issues because they “know” how it feels. Only certain ethnicities are qualified to speak about race or only those affected by “gun violence” can speak about gun laws. By this rubric, Brigitte Gabriel, who was seriously injured by terrorists and lived in a bomb shelter for seven years, should be one of the most qualified to understand the real issues at stake with regard to radical Islamic terrorism. Yet her critics have hypocritically disqualified her experience because they disagree with its implications.
               Many, if not most, of those critical of Brigette Gabriel’s work have never lived near, much less survived, multiple years of systemic terrorism. Those who live in a relatively quiet and peaceful country cannot fathom the difficulties, hardship, pain or raw horror of living in a war-torn country.
               Gabriel’s treatment by critics is reminiscent of the character named Moshe the Beadle in Elie Wiesel’s Holocaust memoir, Night. In his book, Wiesel recounts how this poor man disappeared, experienced the horror of the Nazis, escaped and returned to his town to warn others. But rather than heed the warning, the people called him a radical and ostracized him as a lunatic. Why?
               Because the truth, the real truth, can be so overwhelming that people would rather vilify the messenger than accept the message. They prefer to take the battery out of the smoke alarm rather than put out the fire.
               Brigitte Gabriel’s message, which speaks to the reality of radical Islamic terrorism, must not be wished away or ignored. She stands as a messenger with a difficult message and should be commended for her courage to speak. We, in turn, should have the wisdom to heed her warning.   ~The Patriot Post

{ rickwells.us } ~ Laura Ingraham notes that in a letter in which Attorney General Sessions told three members of Congress that he was going to ignore their wishes... and those of many of their colleagues and refuse to appoint a special counsel, he stated that special counsels are only appointed in “extraordinary circumstances.” She invited Reps Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Mark Meadows (R-NC) in for a discussion of what the heck is going on. Jordan points out that Andrew McCabe didn’t lie just once, he lied four times and points to the many shady dealings that the dirty cop has been exposed being involved in at this early stage of the investigation. Rep Meadows addresses the charges that McCabe made in an op-ed that he is being targeted politically, a rich bit of irony in view of the fact that he was a key player in a political coup against President Trump, saying that the internal investigation report by the FBI’s OPR, his colleagues, completely refutes those claims... https://rickwells.us/meadows-jordan-doj-obama/

Right Side of History: The Second Amendment 

and American Gun Culture

by Jarrett Stepman 

{ dailysignal.com } ~ The history of guns, gun control, and the Second Amendment is the topic of this week’s episode of “The Right Side of History,”... a podcast dedicated to exploring current events through a historical lens and busting left-wing myths about figures and events of America’s past. This week, hosts Jarrett Stepman, a contributor to The Daily Signal, and Fred Lucas, The Daily Signal’s White House correspondent, talk about how some states enacted early forms of gun control to disenfranchise black Americans.

Judge says landlords can pick their tenants

by BOB UNRUH

{ wnd.com } ~ A judge has given landlords in Seattle permission to pick their own tenants... upending a rule imposed by the city that would have required them to rent to the first qualified person who arrived – all in an effort to eliminate “unconscious bias.”  WND reported when the fight erupted in 2017 with the imposition of a demand by the city landlords rent to the “first person” who submits a valid application. Under Seattle’s “first-in-time” rule, a landlord must offer a rental unit to the “first person who submits an adequate application,” explained Ethan Blevins of the Pacific Legal Foundation, which sued over the Big Brother policy...

No Excuse for the Ignorance of Gun-Grabbers 

by Louis DeBroux:  Unfortunately, one side in the gun debate is not just ignorant of basic facts but militantly and willfully so. In fact, many are just plain idiotic.

               Gun control advocates demand “commonsense” gun control measures, like expanding background checks, closing the “gun show loophole,” and banning “assault” weapons, machine guns and “high capacity” magazines. They claim it’s easier to buy a gun than to buy books, and anyone opposing their “commonsense” reforms must want children to die.
                Setting aside momentarily the reprehensible charge that a disagreement on policy is evidence of a desire to see more dead children, these proposals are riddled with errors and logical fallacies.
               For example, though gun control advocates routinely refer to banning “assault” weapons, the truth is there are almost none in civilian possession. The U.S. Department of Defense defines assault weapons as “short, compact, selective-fire weapons.” In other words, a battlefield rifle capable of both semiautomatic (one round fired per trigger pull) and fully automatic (repeated fire with single trigger pull) fire. Fully automatic weapons (i.e., machine guns) have been banned for civilian use since the National Firearms Act of 1934.
               The AR-15 (which stands for ArmaLite, not “assault rifle”) is the most popular rifle in America today. Though militaristic in appearance, it is a semiautomatic rifle, functionally no different than the millions of hunting rifles that gun-grabbers claim they have no desire to confiscate. In fact, it fires a smaller round than many hunting rifles. So why ban one gun that is functionally equivalent to another simply because it looks “scary”?
               If you want to know more about America’s most popular rifle, visit assaultweapon.info.
               Regarding the other items, “high capacity” is really standard capacity, and there is no gun show loophole. Even at gun shows, firearms dealers are required to perform background checks prior to sale, and they sure aren’t going to risk massive fines and imprisonment just to sell you a gun.
               So as a practical matter, there is no logical reason to ban so-called “assault” weapons unless gun control proponents are also going to ban all semiautomatic weapons, including handguns, which they claim they are not trying to do.
               While we don’t expect opponents of gun rights to be gun experts, we do expect them to have basic knowledge of the things they are trying to ban. The problem is that basic knowledge might change their minds, and they can’t have that.   ~The Patriot Post

Mueller FBI Used American Kidnapped by Al-Qaeda 

As Bait – Schrier Wasn’t Supposed To Live To Tell 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ An American photo journalist named Matt Schrier was kidnapped and held by al-Qaeda for seven months in six different prison locations... He was tortured and starved before eventually escaping. He’s now alleging that the FBI not only didn’t do everything they could to gain his release, they were using him as bait, allowing the terrorists to have access to his bank accounts and to continue his captivity in order to gain intelligence information. That might even have been okay as an ongoing component of the investigation if he had been reimbursed for his losses. He wasn’t and in fact was sent a bill for the airfare home to the US. After his escape Schrier began investigating his own kidnapping and discovered a pattern of betrayal by the FBI agents who were handling his case. He says that he first thought it was just a matter of incompetence on the part of the agents, “but the more I dug the larger the pattern  became, until obviously it’s not coincidence, coincidence, coincidence.”...   https://rickwells.us/mueller-al-qaeda-bait-schrier/

What Makes Israel Such a Valuable Partner

by Armstrong Williams

This tiny nation of just 8 million people has, through its own boldness and entrepreneurial spirit, become a renowned global leader in industries ranging from high technology to agriculture to manufacturing to tourism. The nation’s continued success in recent years can be at least partially credited to the incredible leadership of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu...  https://www.dailysignal.com/2018/03/29/what-makes-israel-such-a-valuable-partner/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTmpneU5EazFaamsxTW1NdyIsInQiOiJrSDhFSFY0ZFI4R0V2alF0ckJacEZxbVczXC9qQlhVQlhEb1ZZVTd1WnBJdE51M2kxTE40UFlCRXhwQkxzemFpYnIyTTVrUGtHK1hRK25COGZIWVwvRVdSSWU4bjRYcEJ3VXJ1ampibVlQTlU5YTNOWm8yS094enlaaU12XC9HR0UxeSJ9 

Gun-Grabbing liar-Clinton Aide Palmieri Won’t 

Admit She Supports Govt Confiscation

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ liar-Hillary Clinton and Hussein liar-nObama’s former communications director Jennifer Palmieri describes being held accountable... for the Democratic Party positions she supports as putting her in a box. She can’t truthfully answer the questions without undermining basic freedoms and defying the Constitution, so she does what Democrats always do in those situations. She attacked the messenger, Tucker Carlson, and attempted to answer a different question and to make a general statement without providing any substantiation instead. When Carlson called her on it, he was accused of “putting her in a box.” It was a pretty simple question, “Do you think the government should ever take guns from law abiding people?” Instead of answering what he asked, she states, “I think that there should be an ‘assault weapons’ ban,” not defining that mythical firearm or how a ban would be achieved with semi-automatic rifles already owned by millions of Americans. “I don’t think that people can’t say the globalist Democrat government need to take their guns away, we can, there should be an ‘assault weapons’ ban.” You can’t have it both ways, lady... https://rickwells.us/gun-clinton-palmieri-confiscation/

New Evidence of liar-nObama's Deep-State Collusion? 

by Thomas Gallatin:  New information has emerged from text messages between those two now-infamous FBI lovebirds, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, suggesting that former liar-nObama White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, former Democrat Senate Leader Harry dinky-Reid (NV) and former CIA Director John Brennan were coordinating on the Donald Trump/Russia collusion conspiracy and subsequent FBI investigation.

               A GOP congressional source explained to Fox News, “We are not making conclusions. What we are saying is that the timeline is concerning enough to warrant the appointment of an independent investigator to look at whether or not the liar-nObama White House was involved” in the Trump/Russia investigation.
               “These texts seem to show FBI officials were briefing the liar-nObama WH on the early stages of the Trump campaign investigation in 2016. How much did theliar-nObama WH know? Were they involved?” tweeted Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), who chairs the House Freedom Caucus.
               Congressional investigators noted the CIA and FBI are supposed to be “independent agencies,” and “coordination between political actors at the White House and investigators would be inappropriate.” As we have long surmised, Barack liar-nObama’s DOJ was involved in both the effort to exonerate liar-Hillary Clinton and apparently in crafting and pressing the whole Trump/Russia collusion conspiracy. Slowly, these deep-state actors’ names are rising to the surface.
               Meanwhile, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz has announced that he will be opening up an investigation into allegations of possible abuse of the FISA court by FBI agents. While no specific reference was made to the FBI’s surveillance of members of Trump’s campaign team, the broader language hints that this is exactly what Horowitz will be investigating. However, the IG’s investigation will be limited in that he is able to subpoena only those who are currently employed by the government, which means that neither former FBI Director James Comey nor former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe will be forced to testify.
               And speaking of Comey, the disgraced former FBI chief has been given top billing by CNN in an upcoming town hall event to launch his new book, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies & Leadership. Clearly, Comey has no concerns about staking out an obvious political position. Or maybe Comey just wanted to ensure that he wouldn’t face any hardball questions over why he chose to exonerate liar-Clinton.   ~The Patriot Post

Study: 21,000 Have Died Waiting for Medicaid 

by Charles Fain Lehman

{ freebeacon.com } ~ At least 21,000 Americans have died waiting to enroll in Medicaid, thanks in part to the expansion of the government healthcare program under liar-nObamacare... according to a recently released report from the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA). Medicaid waiting lists currently sit around 650,000 individuals, FGA estimates. By contrast, more than 28 million able-bodied adults are now enrolled in the program, using resources that might otherwise be allocated to individuals on the waiting list. The report focuses primarily on the waiting lists generated by the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver program. That program, created in 1981, allows states to extend Medicaid services to individuals in their home and/or community, meaning they do not need to be cared for in a nursing home or similar institutions. HCBS recipients tend to be those with severe intellectual disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and mental illnesses... http://freebeacon.com/issues/study-21000-died-waiting-medicaid/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=b4cb3480d8-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_03_28&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-b4cb3480d8-45611665

A Balanced Defense

by JERRY HENDRIX

{ nationalreview.com } ~ When President Trump signed the 2018 omnibus spending bill, he committed the nation to a two-year, $1.416 trillion defense-spending plan... but his signature did not answer the larger question that has been hanging over the defense debate: Should the nation invest in increased lethal capabilities — that is, more technical solutions such as stealth aircraft and more precise intelligence-surveillance-reconnaissance systems — or expand capacity, otherwise known as growing the force? The new national-security strategy issued by the White House in December and the national-defense strategy released by the Pentagon in January both endorse building capacity — increasing the number of personnel and ships, aircraft, and vehicles overall — as a strategic goal, although the Pentagon document is muted in its phrasing. However, capabilities proponents, from both the right and the left, make arguments, from fiscal and technology perspectives, that it is no longer possible or necessary to maintain large numbers of troops, tanks, aircraft, and ships in the active force. They advocate instead a smaller but more lethal force centered around advanced capabilities. Voices from the expanded-capacity school argue that a generation of investment in exquisite capabilities has resulted in a diminished force that is too small to maintain the peace or win a war. They advocate significantly increased defense budgets, such as the one just approved, and a larger overall force that includes a bigger Army, Air Force, and Navy. These approaches — increased capabilities and expanded capacity — appear greatly at odds with each other and draw on dissimilar assumptions regarding the global security environment. Each deserves an honest, objective examination. Is some balance between the two approaches possible?...

by Michelle Malkin 
{ townhall.com } ~ How sharper than a serpent's tooth to have a despotic pediatric dentist.

Parents who decide, for whatever reason, that they don't like their children's oral care provider should be forewarned. Empowered by government "mandatory reporter" laws, dental offices are now using their authority to threaten families with child abuse charges if they don't comply with the cavity police.

Mom Trey Hoyumpa shared a letter last week on Facebook from a dental office called Smiles 4 Keeps in Bartonsville, Pennsylvania. It informed her that if she did not make a dental appointment for "regular professional cleanings" for her child, she could be charged with "dental neglect." Citing a law called Pennsylvania Act 31 on child abuse recognition and reporting, the dental office threatened to report the mom to state authorities if she did not schedule an appointment.

Hoyumpa wrote: "Smiles 4 Keeps bullies the parents, controls the care behind closed doors, and turns parents into villains...and I will not stand for it anymore!!!"

On social media, parents who've encountered the toxic alliance of snoopy medical providers and child welfare agencies shared their own experiences with government bullies who operate on a presumption of guilt.

Brett Darken wrote: "Anyone familiar with 'family court,' DCF, state probate and guardianship courts know well this story. In any other context, it would be considered a threat, coercion and intimidation under RICO laws. But because it's the government, it's legal."

This is a menacing threat to have hanging over customers of dental practices, or any medical providers for that matter: If you leave, you better tell us where you are going or we could report you to government child welfare agencies for suspected abuse.

One Twitter commenter wondered: "Is this fake?"

Unfortunately, it's all too real, and the dental office is championing an intrusive practice that is likely to spread.

Smiles 4 Keeps replied to parental criticism on Facebook by quoting the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry definition of "dental neglect" as the "willful failure of parent or guardian to seek and follow through with treatment necessary to ensure a level of oral health essential for adequate function and freedom from pain and infection."

The dental office also defended its intimidation letter to the mom by explaining that physicians and dentists are "mandated reporters" who are "required to report suspected cases of abuse and neglect to social service or law enforcement agencies in order to prevent such tragedy."

But as investigative reporter Terri LaPoint at MedicalKidnap.com points out, nowhere has Smiles 4 Keeps provided any evidence that Trey Hoyumpa was neglectful or abusive in any way. Moreover, Smiles 4 Keeps insists that parents provide the name of a new dentist if the family chooses to find a new provider. Hoyumpa was just one of 17 recipients of the threatening Smiles 4 Keeps salvos.

Dr. Ross Wezmar of Smiles 4 Keeps actually boasted to local news station WNEP about the snitch letters' ability "to jar the parent to realize that with a child comes responsibility." Benevolent Dr. Marcus Welby he is not. Wezmar claimed his bully notes are the first in the nation to be dispatched. With the encroachment of socialized medicine in America, they certainly won't be the last.

Think it can't happen to you? Last year, in Ontario, Canada, mom Melissa Lopez wanted a second opinion on getting fillings for her daughter and decided to change providers. The jilted dentist, as Lenore Skenazy reported on Reason.com, called Child Protective Services to report possible "oral neglect." The case was dismissed, but CPS refuses to remove Lopez's file from its books -- it is part of a permanent record that keeps a permanent cloud of suspicion over her.

Skenazy drills down to the core: "The issue here is how easy it is to drag a family into an abuse investigation, and how hard it is for the family, like an impacted molar, to get itself extracted."

Indeed, the partnership between medical providers and government child welfare services has threatened innocent families across the country under the guise of "protecting the children." It is a short hop from cavity-shaming and misdiagnoses to ripping families apart.

Don't forget the case of Justina Pelletier, savagely torn from her family by Boston Children's Hospital after the prestigious medical institution wrongly accused her parents of causing her chronic illness. BCH locked Justina in a mental ward until her sister published an undercover video of Justina pleading to be reunited with her family. Public outrage forced her release and now the Pelletiers are suing BCH.

Big Nanny monitors hostile to family privacy and autonomy are everywhere -- in your kids' classrooms, cafeterias, and doctors' and dentists' offices. Eternal vigilance against government intrusion is the price of parenthood.

Judicial Watch Sues For Info On 

USAID FUNNELED TO scum-SOROS By liar-nObama State Dept 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ Judicial Watch has once again been forced to file a lawsuit in order to obtain records that some in the deep state State Department are clearly trying to keep hidden... This time the shady and possibly criminal activities involve the liar-nObama regime funneling millions of taxpayer dollars to various scum-George Soros Open Society Foundation organizations engaged in anti-American globalist activities overseas. There’s no doubt that Americans are having their tax dollars misappropriated to fund scum-Soros radicals. It’s simply a question of to what degree and who is responsible. Judicial Watch explained that their FOIA requests to the State Department and US Agency for International Development (USAID), filed last fall, have been completely ignored. They are seeking records related to contracts, grants and other “allocations/ disbursements of funds” by Open Society Foundation offices in Romania, Colombia, Macedonia and Albania. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said on Wednesday, “It is time for Americans to be allowed to see State Department documentation regarding the public funding of scum-Soros’ Open Society Foundations. The billionaire scum-George Soros needs zero assistance from U.S. taxpayers to promote his far-left agenda abroad.”... https://rickwells.us/judicial-usaid-soros-obama/

Headed by Mahmoud Abbas, the PA has since received billions of dollars in aid from the US, EU and several other donor countries. However, the failure of the donors to demand accountability and transparency from the Palestinian Authority has deprived Palestinians of a significant part of the funds. It has also encouraged Palestinian leaders to continue pocketing millions of dollars, enriching their private and hidden bank accounts.

{ wnd.com } ~ “Pope Declares No Hell?”

So ran the riveting headline on the Drudge Report of Holy Thursday.

Drudge quoted this exchange, published in La Repubblica, between Pope Francis and his atheist friend, journalist Eugenio Scalfari.

Scalfari: “What about bad souls? Where are they punished?”

Bad souls “are not punished,” Pope Francis is quoted, “those who do not repent and cannot therefore be forgiven disappear. There is no hell, there is the disappearance of sinful souls.”

On the first Holy Thursday, Judas betrayed Christ. And of Judas the Lord said, “Woe to that man by whom the Son of Man shall be betrayed; it were better for him if that man had never been born.”

Did the soul of Judas, and those of the monstrous evildoers of history, “just fade away,” as Gen. Douglas MacArthur said of old soldiers? If there is no hell, is not the greatest deterrent to the worst of sins removed?

What did Christ die on the cross to save us from?

If Francis made such a statement, it would be rank heresy.

Had the pope been speaking ex cathedra, as the vicar of Christ on earth, he would be contradicting 2,000 years of Catholic doctrine, rooted in the teachings of Christ himself. He would be calling into question papal infallibility, as defined in 1870 by the Vatican Council of Pius IX.

Questions would arise as to whether Francis is a true pope.

The Vatican swiftly issued a statement saying the pope had had a private conversation, not a formal interview, with his friend, Scalfari.

The Vatican added: “The textual words pronounced by the pope are not quoted. No quotation of the aforementioned article must therefore be considered as a faithful transcription of the words of the Holy Father.”

Sorry, but this will not do. This does not answer the questions the pope raised in his chat. Does hell exist? Are souls that die in mortal sin damned to hell for all eternity? Does the pope accept this belief? Is this still the infallible teaching of the Roman Catholic Church?

However one may applaud Francis’ stance on social justice, on matters of faith and morals he has called defined doctrine into question and created confusion throughout the Church he heads.

In his letter Amoris Laetitia, “The Joy of Love,” the pope seemed to give approval to the receiving of Holy Communion by divorced and remarried Catholics, whose previous marriages had not been annulled, and whom the Church holds to be living in adultery.

Relying on the pope’s letter, German bishops have begun to authorize the distribution of Communion to divorced and remarried couples.

Cardinal Gerhard Muller, former prefect of the Vatican office for the Doctrine of the Faith, the position once held by Pope Benedict XVI, says this contradicts Catholic doctrine as enunciated by Pope John Paul II.

Said Cardinal Muller, “No power in heaven or on earth, neither an angel nor the pope, not a council, nor a law of the bishops has the faculty to change it.”

Four cardinals, including Raymond Burke of the United States, in a formal letter, asked the pope to clarify Amoris Laetitia. The pope did not, nor has he addressed the cardinals’ concerns.

Indeed, when asked early in his papacy about the immorality of homosexuality, the pope parried the question, “Who am I to judge?”

But if not thee, who? Is not the judging of right and wrong part of the job description?

Nor is it only in the realm of doctrine that the pope has sown confusion among the faithful.

To legalize the underground Catholic Church in China, the pope and the Vatican have agreed to ask Catholic bishops to stand aside for bishops approved by the Communist Party that seeks tighter control of Christian faiths.

The Vatican has also agreed to approve the consecration of a bishop named by Beijing, whom Rome previously regarded as illegitimate.

The capitulation is necessary for the Catholic Church in China to survive and prosper, argues the Vatican. But what kind of church will it become, asks retired Archbishop Joseph Zen Ze-kiun of Hong Kong.

The Vatican is “selling out” the Church in China, says the archbishop: “Some say that all the effort to reach an agreement is to avoid the ecclesial schism. How ridiculous! The schism is there, in the Independent Church!”

Archbishop Zen concedes his criticism of the Communist Party and the Vatican’s diplomatic efforts are causing problems in closing the rift between the underground Church and the Communist Party-sanctioned church, but he makes no apology: “Am I the major obstacle in the process of reaching a deal between the Vatican and China? If that is a bad deal, I would be more than happy to be the obstacle.”

There is a division inside Catholicism that is widening, between a Third World and traditional church that are growing, and a mainstream Church in Europe and here that is taking on aspects of the Anglican Church of the 20th century.

And how did that turn out, Your Holiness?

Happy Easter! (I wonder what bible is Pope Francis reading?)

For five days now hundreds of Central Americans — children, women and men, most of them from Honduras — have boldly crossed immigration checkpoints, military bases, and police in a desperate, sometimes chaotic march toward the United States. Despite being in Mexico without authorization, no one has made any effort to stop them.*

Manafort Turns Tables On Mueller – 

Appointment Exceeded Rosenstein Recusal Authority 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ One downside for Grand Inquisitor Robert Mueller to actually indictment against associates of President Trump... is that he invites with them a legal defense and decisions as to the legitimacy of his actions by people in authority, judges and jurors. Mueller received one such action on Tuesday in a motion to dismiss brought filed by the attorneys for Paul Manafort on behalf of their client. As reported in Law & Crime, they argued that Deputy AG “Rosenstein could not appoint Mueller to any investigation outside the scope of the 2016 campaign since Sessions did not recuse himself for anything outside the campaign.” Attorney Robert Barnes wrote, “If we follow that argument that would mean Sessions himself has exclusive authority to appoint a special counsel for non-collusion charges, and Sessions has taken no such action.”...

liar-nOBAMA LED COUP? – Goodlatte, Ingraham

 On His Chief Of Staff In NEW STRZOK TEXTS 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ Laura Ingraham calls it big news, the opening of an investigation by the DOJ Inspector General into the FISA court abuses and the domestic spying on Carter Page... It was expected, and while it’s not necessarily a negative, it’s small potatoes compared to another development, the exposure of documentation in the Strzok-Page lovebirds’ text mails, of a link between their subversion and the liar-nObama White House. What needs to be done, since many of the chief offenders or those whose testimony might have to be compelled by a grand jury are beyond the IG’s reach, is for a second special counsel to be appointed. That reality is further demonstrated by new information uncovered by Sara Carter in new text messages just released. Investigative Reporter Sara Carter broke the information of a reference to Hussein liar-nObama’s chief of staff, Denis McDonough, in the Strzok-Page text messages. She wrote, “The documents, which include text messages from embattled FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and his paramour Lisa Page, also reveal that former liar-nObama White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough was involved in the initial investigation into Trump’s campaign. Comey, Brennan and McDonough the ‘highest-ranking officials at the FBI, CIA and White House’  were working in concert to ensure an investigation was initiated.”...  https://rickwells.us/obama-led-coup-goodlatte/

NETFLIX Appoints SUSAN RICE – 

liar-nObama Unmasker, Designated Liar To Board 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ Aside from a lousy selection of old movies you’d never want to watch even when they’re part of a free trial period... there’s another new and compelling reason not to do business with Netflix. They’ve put Susan Rice on their board of directors. One might wonder how having an espionage criminal and pathological serial liar on their board would benefit the company, if there is a niche market inside prisons or some new crime series or deep state documentaries that they’ll be rolling out. It’s possible, but what’s more likely is that they’re procuring favor for some future petitions or perhaps some overseas markets where influence needs to be purchased. Who better than a former UN Ambassador to open doors? Going through the liar-Clinton Foundation might have been a little too obvious, or perhaps this is payback to Rice, the media’s way of saying thank you to her for all of her tireless efforts to mislead the public and abuse her offices. A woman who will lie on national TV repeatedly is a valuable commodity to corporate scumbags... https://rickwells.us/netflix-rice-unmasker-liar-board/

NoKo Puppet Summoned to Beijing 

by Thomas Gallatin:  News broke Tuesday confirming a rumor that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un had met with Chinese President Xi Jingping over the weekend in Beijing. Reporting on the meeting, the Chinese state-run media claimed Kim is committed to denuclearization. “It is our consistent stand to be committed to denuclearization on the [Korean] peninsula,” said Kim. “The issue of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula can be resolved if South Korea and the United States respond to our efforts with goodwill, and create an atmosphere of peace and stability while taking progressive and synchronous measures for the realization of peace.” Xi also offered his support for a peaceful resolution, stating that it’s a “strategic choice and the only right choice both sides have made based on history and reality, the international and regional structure and the general situation of China-DPRK ties.”

               White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders called the meeting “evidence” that President Donald Trump’s “maximum pressure” campaign against North Korea is producing results. Sander’s asserted, “The Chinese government contacted the White House earlier on Tuesday to brief us on Kim Jong-un’s visit to Beijing. The briefing included a personal message from President Xi to President Trump, which has been conveyed to President Trump.”
               This news follows closely on the heels of China’s desire to negotiate after Trump signed off on tariffs last week. And while the mainstream media has focused on the Kim regime’s willingness to seek a denuclearization deal, the real story here is that Trump didn’t fall for China’s bluff.
               As we have noted in the past, North Korea is a puppet of Beijing, as its existence is sustained by economic support from China. In the past, China has been able to leverage the provocations of the Kim regime to gain favorable trade concessions from the U.S. in exchange for reining in its unruly ally. But this time when Kim began his saber rattling by engaging in forbidden missile launches and nuclear tests, Trump simply upped the ante. Trump first pressured China to deal with North Korea via standing by increased sanctions supported by the UN. Then, last week, Trump called out China for its unfair trade imbalance with the U.S., demanded a “reciprocal” deal and signed off on a $60 billion tariffs package.
               While the Chinese government is firmly communist, its economy is successful because of its free-enterprise elements. The last thing Xi wants is anything that would seriously jeopardize the communist regime’s grip on power, and a severe contraction of China’s economy would certainly deal a serious blow to his control. Trump’s actions on both North Korea and China have proven successful thus far, causing Beijing and Pyongyang to pause and recalculate their next move. However, this geopolitical chess match is far from over, as both China and North Korea have been playing this game for a long time. For Trump, the endgame must be at the very least a fully denuclearized North Korea. Anything less would be a win for China and the Kim regime.   ~The Patriot Post

Sporting grim faces, and issuing their collective statement, “Enough.” It was in stark contrast to their smiling faces seen in group photos taken on their way to various events over the past month, where they seemed to be almost giddy over their new found 15 minutes of fame.

What we actually have here, is a disingenuous group of teens, fronted by their disingenuous defacto teen leader, David Hogg, and being propelled by liberals who are hiding behind these children to push their unconstitutional assault against the 2^nd Amendment.

The kids are nothing but willful, narcissistic shills, wallowing about in propaganda induced fame that’s as fake as the news coverage provided them by the mainstream media.

Mueller Asserts Ties Between 

Trump Advisers and Russian Intelligence 

by ANDREW EGGER

{ weeklystandard.com } ~ As special counsel Robert Mueller prepares for a potential climactic interview with President Trump... his team continues to bore into potential links between Russian intelligence and Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort. In new court documents filed Wednesday, Mueller is asserting the strongest ties yet: that Manafort and his associate Richard Gates communicated with a former Russian spy with ongoing connections to Russian intelligence during the 2016 campaign. The new information is contained in the prosecution's sentencing memorandum of Alex van der Zwaan, the former Skadden Arps attorney who collaborated with Manafort and Gates on pro-Russian work in 2012. Van der Zwaan pleaded guilty last month of lying to Mueller's investigators about his conversations with Gates and a "Person A," who is widely believed to be Konstantin Kilimnik, a former associate of Manafort. In recommending that van der Zwaan serve jail time, prosecutors note that his lies about Person A were "material to the Special Counsel's Office's investigation" because "special agents assisting the Special Counsel's Office assess that Person A has ties to Russian intelligence services and had such ties in 2016." Mueller's team has asserted ties between Person A and Russian intelligence in the past, but this assessment marks the first time they have said those ties were ongoing at the time of the campaign. Kilimnik himself told the Washington Post last June that he has "no relation to the Russian or any other intelligence service."...  http://www.weeklystandard.com/mueller-asserts-ties-between-trump-advisers-and-russian-intelligence/article/2012107?utm_campaign=Weekly%20Standard:%20Daily%20Standard&utm_source=Weekly%20Standard:%20Daily%20Standard%20-%2003/28/18&utm_medium=email

Russia And China Outpace US In Hypersonic Weaponry 

by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

{ noisyroom.net } ~ Russia and China are outpacing the United States in the development of super-fast missile technology... Pentagon officials and key lawmakers are warning. They are leaving us in the dust on this weaponry and it is a severe threat to national security. Hypersonic missiles fly into space after launch, but then come down and fly at high speeds on a flight path similar to an airplane. Their lower trajectory makes them more difficult for U.S. missile defense satellites and radars to detect. Russia has openly stated it is developing high-speed air-launched missiles as well as underwater hypersonic drones. “Right now, we’re helpless,” Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in advocating for more investment in hypersonics, along with missile defense. Unfortunately, the Air Force just delayed our hypersonic bidding contract once again. Lockheed Martin (LMT), Northrop Grumman (NOC), Boeing (BA), Raytheon (RTN), or Orbital ATK, which is being bought by Northrop, are in the running for a contract to build a hypersonic strike weapon that could be launched from fighters and bombers. The contract initially was supposed to be awarded sometime in federal fiscal Q1, which began in October and ended in December. In December, the Air Force said the contract would be awarded in federal fiscal Q2, which ends on Saturday. Now the Air Force is looking at an award in early spring, said spokeswoman Maj. Emily Grabowski...   http://noisyroom.net/blog/2018/03/27/russia-and-china-outpace-us-in-hypersonic-weaponry/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Noisyroomnet+%28NoisyRoom.net%29

Inspector General Michael Horowitz

Yes, Leftists Want to Repeal the Second Amendment 

by Louis DeBroux:  The recent mass shooting at a Parkland, Florida, high school renewed the debate on gun control and the Second Amendment itself. The stakes were raised this week.

               The principle of the debate is simple; namely, the right to self-defense is a God-given right that predates government itself. The Declaration of Independence proclaims we are each endowed by our Creator with certain “unalienable rights” and that “to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed.” Get that? Rights are secured, NOT granted, by government.
               Not according to former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, who this week declared in a New York Times op-ed that it is time to repeal the Second Amendment. He argued that the Court erred in 2008 when it ruled the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms (District of Columbia v. Heller). Bizarrely, by arguing the amendment pertains only to the right of the government to form a well-regulated militia, Stevens claims it to be the only right listed in the Bill of Rights that protects government rather than the individual. (The Tenth Amendment, of course, applies to powers of the states, not rights.)
               Stevens’ assertion is utterly false and historically inaccurate. The Bill of Rights was demanded by the Anti-Federalists as their price for adopting the Constitution. They demanded this clear and unambiguous limitation on the powers of the federal government.
               Indeed, the entire reason for the adoption of the Second Amendment was not to protect sport shooting, or hunting, or even for defense against criminals. It was to provide a bulwark against the potential infringements on Liberty by a tyrannical government.
               Leftists mock those who still consider government tyranny a danger, but why? Dictators like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong disarmed the populace before slaughtering nearly 100 million innocent people.
               “But this is America! It couldn’t happen here!” they say. Oh really? As noted by Justice Clarence Thomas in McDonald v. Chicago, the first gun control laws prohibited blacks from owning firearms in order to prevent them from defending themselves against KKK mobs. And don’t forget the masses of Japanese-Americans who were rounded up and forced into internment camps during World War II by Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
               Gun control advocates scoff at those who worry about the slippery slope where “commonsense” gun control leads to gun confiscation, but Justice Stevens has exposed their duplicity. Gun confiscation is indeed their ultimate goal. Look no further than articles in popular leftist publications like The New York Times, NPR, Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone, all calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment.
               And gun confiscation has already happened. In 1989, California passed some of these “commonsense” gun laws, banning more than 50 types of semiautomatic firearms and “high-capacity” magazines, but grandfathering in those who already owned them. California gun owners were assured that gun registration was not a precursor to confiscation. Yet in 1999, California banned magazines holding more than 10 rounds, and used that gun registry list to coerce citizens to hand over their firearms. Those who refused to comply had their homes invaded by police wielding — you guessed it — the same guns banned for civilian use.
               The whole argument made by anti-gun leftists is hysterical and contradictory. On the one hand, they claim President Donald Trump is a reincarnation of Hitler, a tyrant engaged in the systemic oppression of women, minorities and others. They claim the police are murdering unarmed black men in the streets en masse and cannot be trusted. On the other hand, they demand that Trump’s government take away all privately held firearms and leave us completely dependent on the police for our protection.
               But what happens when the police are not close enough to protect you? Or they are close enough but refuse to protect you, as happened at Parkland? How many realize that the Supreme Court ruled the police have no obligation to protect you from harm (Castle Rock v. Gonzales, 2005)?
               That is one reason why our Founding Fathers demanded the inclusion of the Second Amendmentin the Bill of Rights — to ensure the right to self-defense, whether that be against foreign armies, violent criminals, or a tyrannical domestic government.
               As for what constitutes the “well-regulated militia,” that would be average citizens with guns. Founding Father George Mason proclaimed, “I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people except for a few public officials.”
               In his Commentaries on the Constitution, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, the “Father of American Jurisprudence,” made it clear and unambiguous, declaring, “The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.”
               Disarming law-abiding citizens will not protect innocent people; it will only leave them defenseless against those with homicidal intentions — not to mention at the mercy of tyrannical government. It is beyond foolish to think otherwise.  ~The Patriot Post

MUELLER MADNESS: 

Special Counsel Hands Over All ‘EVIDENCE’ On Mike Flynn 

by Sara Carter

{ saraacarter.com } ~ The Office of Special Counsel complied with a federal judge’s order and as a result turned over all evidence related to former National Security Advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s case... according to two sources who spoke to this reporter. In December, Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ordered Special Counsel Robert Mueller to provide Flynn’s attorneys with any and all information that may have been withheld from the case. Sullivan took over as the presiding judge after District of Columbia Judge Rudolph Contreras was recused from the case on Dec. 7. There was no explanation as to why Contreras, who presided over Flynn’s guilty plea on Dec. 3, was recused from the case. Flynn pled guilty to one count of lying to the FBI, despite testimony provided to Congress by former FBI Director James Comey, where he stated that the agents did not believe Flynn had lied about his conversation with former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in December 2016. Sullivan ordered the government to produce any evidence in its possession that is “favorable to defendant and material either to defendant’s guilt or punishment.”...  https://saraacarter.com/mueller-madness-special-counsel-hands-over-all-evidence-on-mike-flynn/

{ patrioticviralnews.com } ~ Who is Rod Rosenstein? If you don’t know, he’s the man who appointed Robert Mueller to investigate President Trump in this Russia probe nonsense... Based on the track record of the FBI these days, you might suspect that Rosenstein doesn’t have the cleanest file in the cabinet. You’d be right. The problems with Rosenstein go all the way back to the liar-Clinton Presidency, and they’re right in line with the corruption and bias that has been plaguing this country for close to a decade. Before diving into the specifics of Rosenstein’s corruption, it’s important to ask a question: why is all of this coming to light only now? In a word, it all falls on liar-nObama. In several words, this is what you should expect any time the media gives a president a free pass and refuses to pass any amount of scrutiny. We can blame it on racism or reverse racism. We can call it deep state corruption. Really, it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that we never again tolerate the conspiratorial behaviors between the government and media that became commonplace with liar-nObama’s lead of the Democratic Party...

'Violent deportee' ID'd after escaping ICE custody at JFK airport

by Benjamin Brown

KORUS Details Emerging – South Korea Agrees to 30% 

Reduction in Steel, Accepts Doubling of U.S. Autos, 

Accepts 20 Year Extension on Truck Tariff…

by sundance

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ The new deal doubles — to 50,000 — the cars each U.S. automaker can export annually to South Korea... reduces bureaucratic barriers to American products and extends a 25 percent U.S. tariff on South Korean pickup trucks by 20 years, through 2041. South Korea escapes America’s new 25 percent tariff on imported steel — but must accept quotas on steel exports equal to 70 percent of its average annual shipments to the United States between 2015 and 2017. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the policy ahead of an official announcement. The United States this month began imposing the steel tariffs, saying imports jeopardized U.S. national security. But it has been suspending the duties on allies like the European Union, Canada and Mexico...

Michael Wolff: My Job "Has

Nothing To Do With Truth"

by Daniel Greenfield

{ frontpagemag.com } ~ The Wolff ship sailed a while back. Fire and Fury sold lots of copies... But even some of the biggest Trump haters in the media were careful about taking it at face value. And international outlets were far more willing to ask Wolff tough questions. And he was far less willing to answer them. But it was all downhill anyway. When even Morning Joe won't put up with you anymore, it's all over. What's left? Vassar. Here's Michael Wolff explaining his tenuous relationship with the truth in the Vassar Review. Solender: So would you call yourself a political journalist? Wolff: No, never. I’m not a political journalist. I’m not, frankly, all that much interested in politics. I’m a writer. I’m barely a journalist, actually. I am a writer. Solender: And you’ve covered other topics, right? You wrote for the Hollywood Reporter?  Wolff: Yes, I’m probably the most prolific journalist in the country. You know, millions upon millions upon millions of words.  Solender: So it’s not really about the subject as much as sort of telling the story and getting the truth out there?...  https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/269733/michael-wolff-my-job-has-nothing-do-truth-daniel-greenfield 

Ethanol Indoctrination Enters School Studies 

by Jordan Candler:  Have you quizzed your child yet on the supposedly benign value of ethanol? Believe it or not, some students at and above the third grade might have a thing or two to say about it after being subjected to “Ethanol in the Classroom,” an education (read: indoctrination) platform created by the Renewable Fuels Association.

               The organization’s president, Bob Dinneen, recently described this e-learning tool as “providing a fun and interactive way for students to learn about the renewable fuel.” He further heralded it as “a fun platform for children and young adults to learn about ethanol’s numerous benefits.”
               There are countless words that accurately describe ethanol, but beneficial is most assuredly not one of them. According to the Department of Energy, the U.S. produced 14.54 billion bushels of corn in 2016. Of that, 5.25 billion — or 36% — was used for ethanol. Which means that only 64% of corn is being used to feed the hungry; the rest is being wasted on a biofuel that ruins your lawnmower and other gasoline-powered tools and automobiles. 
               Our own Mark Alexander has chronicled numerous other problems associated with ethanol.
               Here’s another fact — one that truly worries the mandate’s most vociferous advocates: The detrimental effect of ethanol isn’t a secret. Just how deficient is it? The Washington Times recently reported that “the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) that boosted ethanol use has fallen out of favor so badly that environmentalists now see themselves on the same side of the debate as Republicans such as Sen. Ted Cruz, arguing that the entire program is deeply flawed and must be completely overhauled.”
               As Hot Air blogger Jazz Shaw says of “Ethanol in the Classroom,” “I don’t need to sit through the class to be able to guess that a few things were left out of the curriculum.” He adds, “This isn’t an education program. It’s an indoctrination scheme. Get ‘em while they’re young and you can influence their actions and choices as adults.”
               The biofuel mandate is clearly on shaky ground. And the activists’ solution is to use children as pawns to save it — much like the gun control lobby is doing to an astonishing degree after the Parkland, Florida, school shooting. All told, it’s more proof that education standards need to be controlled at the local level.

New book alleges shady business 

deals between China, loose lips-Joe Biden’s family 

by conservativeinstitute.org 

{ conservativeinstitute.org } ~ Schweizer alleges in his upcoming book, Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends... that China used lucrative investments in the families of powerful American officials, including loose lips-Biden, to influence American policy. He reportedly describes several business meetings and deals between Hunter Biden and top Chinese officials that coincided with diplomatic visits or talks between his father and the Chinese. Joined by co-manager Devon Archer and James Bulger, a consultant and nephew of mob boss Whitey Bulger, Hunter reportedly met with Chinese government leaders in 2011 the same day that China’s then-president, Hu Jintao, met with loose lips-Joe Biden in Washington for a nuclear summit. Another meeting in 2011 between Hunter and Chinese leaders in Taiwan came just two weeks after loose lips-Joe Biden expanded strategic talks between the U.S. and China. The younger Biden was then owner of Rosemont Seneca Partners, LLC, a now-defunct private equity firm, alongside Archer and Christopher Heinz, hanoi-John Kerry’s stepson. Later, in December 2013, Hunter Biden touched down in China for a visit with his father as part of an official delegation to the president of China. Ten days later, Hunter Biden had formed a $1 billion joint investment fund with a subsidiary of the state-owned Bank of China. The result of that deal, Bohai Harvest RST, was a firm literally co-owned by the government of China and the sons of hanoi-John Kerry and loose lips-Joe Biden... https://www.conservativeinstitute.org/government-corruption/new-book-china-deals.htm?utm_source=boomtrain&utm_medium=automated&bt_alias=eyJ1c2VySWQiOiAiYzM2M2U0NGMtNjcxZS00YzJlLWJkYjktYzRiZjI3OGZmOGFkIn0%3D&utm_campaign=ci1

The Changing Landscape of Political Parties 

by Lewis Morris:  The surprising outcome of the 2016 election and talk about Democrat hopes of flipping the House and/or Senate in 2018 have a lot of people speculating about political party alignment. Will Donald Trump drive Republican voters away from the Grand Old Party? Are we looking at 2018 or 2020 to be a “wave” election for Democrats?

               A recent study by Larry Bartels of Vanderbilt University’s Department of Political Science asked these questions and more about the current state of affairs. What he found suggests some points that confound the prevailing wisdom.
               Bartels maintains that there have been no mass defections from either Republicans or Democrats. His research found that the splits within each party break out in contrasting ways. Democrats are, of course, more united in their belief in an active government, but somewhat surprisingly they find themselves less united when it comes to cultural issues. Republicans tend to have the opposite leanings, being more united in their view on cultural issues but more at odds with one another when it comes to the role government should play in peoples’ lives.
               Hence the failure to repeal liar-nObamaCare and budgets that keep the Democrat pace on deficits.
               Surveys Bartels conducted in his research found that nearly 25% of Republicans were closer to the average Democrat on the role of government when compared to the average Republican, while only 11% of Democrats were closer to Republicans on that role when compared to the average Democrat. On the flip side, over 26% of Democrats were closer to the average Republican on cultural issues. This is likely due in part to the Democrat Party’s small tent, in which elected officials and voters are practically coerced to toe the party line on abortion, same-sex marriage and other topics.
               The one area that Bartels doesn’t go into but should cause concern among Republicans is the loss of Millennial women. A Pew Research report found that in 2014, Democrats held a 21-point advantage over Republicans with women in this group. By 2018, the number of women who self-identified or leaned Democrat rose to 70%. Nearly three-fourths of women in the Millennial age group now identify as Democrats. Certainly, the election of Donald Trump played a big role in this, but we cannot discount the fact that liar-Hillary Clinton was not nearly as popular among young women as commie-Bernie Sanders. But with liar-Clinton no longer a factor, Republicans will need to work much harder to reach this voting bloc with the message of Liberty. In fact, Democrats aim to exploit women voters to take down Trump.
               This issue aside, if we accept Bartels’ numbers and the idea that a larger percentage of Democrats are growing closer to Republicans on cultural issues, then why does the Left appear to be winning the culture war? This is where the power of the media comes into play. With much of the media and academia leaning heavily to the left, it becomes easier for progressives to steer the message. Consider the point that Republicans have been labeled increasingly more radical in recent years even while their fundamental policy stances have not changed all that much.
               That’s because if any party has moved its fundamental policy stance, it’s been the Democrats. Former liar-Clinton adviser and political prognosticator Dick Morris observes that Democrats tend to move further left based on negative outcomes during election cycles. This happened throughout the 1980s, and continued during the midterm drubbings Barack liar-nObama received while in office. It seems counter intuitive to move further in a direction that voters reject, but leftists’ strategy is to drive everything their direction so the very terms of debate change over time.
               So, if more Republicans are finding common cause with Democrats about the role of government, and young women are leaving the GOP in droves, is there any good news? Yes, and that is that progressives have not necessarily moved the electorate to the left, they have only succeeded in moving themselves further to the left. And in doing so, according to National Review’s David French, they are deceiving themselves about the impact they are having on voters. They are not changing many minds; they’re only browbeating people. And they are in fact illustrating to the rest of the country just how out of touch they truly are. The downside is that we can expect deeper polarization. The upside is wave elections are not born out of polarized electorates.   ~The Patriot Post

South Korea's Yonhap news agency, citing North Korean state radio, reported that Kim had visited China at Xi's invitation and was accompanied by his wife, Ri Sol Ju. Kim Jong Un apparently arrived in Beijing on board a heavily guarded 21-car train, which veteran North Korea watchers observed to resemble the trains that ferried his father, Kim Jong Il, to meetings in  China and Russia.

California Sheriff Revolts Against Sanctuary 

State Law, Makes Inmates’ Release Dates Public

by WILL RACKE

{ dailycaller.com } ~ The sheriff’s department in a major Los Angeles metro area county announced Monday that it will begin publishing a list of inmate release dates... spurning a provision of California’s sanctuary state law that limits communication between local officials and immigration authorities. As of Monday, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department’s online inmate database includes the date and time of a prisoner’s release, a change that agency officials say will improve communication with federal law enforcement partners. While the database will include release dates for all inmates, not just illegal immigrants, the newly public information is aimed at helping Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) take removable criminal aliens into custody after they serve local jail time...  http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/27/california-orange-county-sheriff-sanctuary-state/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newslink&utm_term=members&utm_content=20180328013020 

Trump Plays Putin With Expulsion of Diplomats 

by Political Editors:  President Donald Trump’s supposed collusion with Russia is certainly not reaping any benefits for Moscow. On Monday, Fox News reports, Trump “ordered the expulsion of 60 Russian intelligence officers in the United States and the closure of the Russian consulate in Seattle in response to the nerve agent attack on an ex-Russian spy in the U.K. earlier this month.” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders explained, “With these steps, the United States and our allies and partners make clear to Russia that its actions have consequences. The United States stands ready to cooperate to build a better relationship with Russia, but this can only happen with a change in the Russian government’s behavior.”

               With this move the U.S. joins its European allies as well as Canada and Australia in issuing a strong rebuke to Vladimir Putin, the recently “re-elected” Russian strongman. In fact, Trump’s response against the Kremlin has been the strongest of any nation including the UK. And it is the most sweeping expulsion of Russian diplomats since the Cold War. Trump’s move follows his recent national security team shake-up — his team now includes Mike Pompeo heading the State Department and former UN Ambassador John Bolton as his new national security advisor. Both men are considered to be hardliners when it comes to dealing with foreign threats.
               However, Trump’s move is by no means a sudden gesture or policy change, even though one may assume so given the incessant Democrat and Leftmedia narrative of a Trump/Russia collusion conspiracy. For example, in January Trump announced new sanctions against Russia for its involvement in helping North Korea evade UN sanctions. And he hasn’t shied away from facing off against Russia in Syria. As Reuters reports, “The U.S. military killed or injured as many as 300 men working for a Kremlin-linked private military firm after they attacked U.S. and U.S.-backed forces.” Furthermore, the Trump administration plans on providing the Ukrainians with anti-tank missiles to fend off Russian-backed separatist attacks, something that Barack liar-nObama refused to do in the face of Putin’s obvious aggression.
               Recall just last week Trump was maligned by the mainstream media over his having called Putin to congratulate him on his “election” victory. It is clear that what Trump says and what Trump does are not always congruent. And as is often the case, his actions speak louder than his words.   ~The Patriot Post

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ On Sunday President Trump tweeted that he would like to see the border wall constructed by the military... as a matter of national security and defense, and for it to start immediately. He has reportedly been working towards that end before his announcement and in the days since. Defense News reports that President Trump made a similar suggestion to Speaker Paul Ryan and several of his advisers, including Defense Secretary Mattis, as a way to address the ongoing and obstructed vulnerability to our nation. Not surprisingly, open borders puppet of the left Ryan offered little in the way of a reaction to the plan, with his fellow establishment sellouts later telling them it was unlikely to happen. In a separate meeting with senior aides, President Trump is said to have also raised the idea, and noted that there was sufficient funding in the $700 military appropriation for the defense expenditure of less than $25 billion...

Teachers Reject Real-World Solutions, Favor the Impractical 

by Thomas Gallatin:  Two recently released polls indicate that a majority of America’s teachers are out of touch with the majority of Americans when it comes to the issue of gun control. According to a Gallup poll, a whopping  73% of teachers are opposed to the idea of arming teachers, one of several solutions floated to help better defend schools. Meanwhile, an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found that 58% of Americans believe that gun ownership increases safety. This represents a significant change from 19 years ago, when 52% of Americans believed the opposite. The disconnect is interesting.   

               A wise refrain that used to be referenced in schools is, “Just wait until you get into the real world” — the obvious point being that the school environment is most often focused (by necessity) on the theoretical rather than the practical side of life. As a result, it comes as little surprise that a majority of teachers would view the very practical idea of arming teachers as a theoretical idea they find repulsive, simply because the need to wield lethal power within a school setting is counter to their idealized safe place.
               There may also be another reason — one that is rooted in a fundamentally flawed philosophical perception of the nature of humanity. The flawed view is that people are born with a basically good nature, and thus the evil that may come from some individuals is the fault of society. Hence the cry for broad-reaching legislation that will supposedly “solve” the problem. As a result, we get more laws limiting guns and the creation of “gun free” zones (which are often targeted by criminals), all with the belief that barriers in society will somehow end the evil.
               The truth is that evil exists in the heart of every individual. Everyone has the potential to do violence and hurt others. To deny this is to deny reality. And pretending it doesn’t exist while teaching children to “be true to themselves” or to “not let anyone else define them” or, as nOprah recently put it, to listen to your “heartsong,” actually only feeds the beast within. Discipline, instruction, directions, boundaries and responsibilities are what children need so that they are better prepared to enter the real world. It’s a real world in which there are those who, out of the uncontrolled evil within themselves, seek to hurt and kill others; a real world where we must take on the responsibility of defending ourselves and our loved ones. Instead, even our educators would rather shirk the responsibility and demand that everyone else be stripped of their rights to self-defense, all so they can feel that life would be safer.   ~The Patriot Post
