NRA Immediately Responds With Lawsuit 

Over Unconstitutional Florida Gun Law 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ One hour after RINO Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) signed a massive attack on the Second Amendment into law... the NRA was in a court house filing their challenge on constitutional grounds. The new law, signed on Friday,  calls for waiting periods for long guns, firearm confiscation by the government and a ban on bump stocks. It also raises the age at which one can legally purchase a rifle or shotgun in the state to 21 from 18. It is that provision that is the foundation of the legal action by the NRA. Marion Hammer spoke for the NRA, telling Breitbart News that they “filed a lawsuit in federal court against the State of Florida for violating the constitutional rights of young adults between the ages of 18-21.”...  https://rickwells.us/nra-lawsuit-florida-gun-law/

DREAMers Go Rogue… Trash Democrat 

Party in Unprecedented Move

by BENJAMIN ARIE

{ conservativetribune.com } ~ Playing identity politics is a risky game. The Democrat Party no doubt thought it could snag easy votes by pandering to the largely Latino population of “Dreamers”… but the left’s eagerness to blame Republicans for every problem is now causing many in that community to reject liberal promises. During a recent appearance on Fox News, an illegal immigrant and participant in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program named Cata Santiago had harsh words for Democrats and their inability to work with President Donald Trump and GOP lawmakers. “They don’t walk their talk,” declared the 20-year-old immigrant, who is a Mexican citizen but was taken to the U.S. by her parents when she was only 8... https://conservativetribune.com/dreamers-trash-democrat-party/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=CTBreaking&utm_campaign=breaking&utm_content=conservative-tribune

Susan Rice Criticizing Trump Success With 

N Korea, The Mess She Left Him To Fix 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ Both liar-nObama National Security Adviser Susan Rice and her fellow globalist, Mrs. Alan Greenspan, Andrea Mitchell... seem to be taking it personally that President Trump is making progress in dealing with North Korea that nobody before him, including Rice and their messiah were able to. Given the fact that Trump has already outperformed liar-nObama on foreign policy, it’s questionable whether the opinions of either of these two cackling hens is of any value, but they certainly are not shy about giving them, along with heaping helpings of anti-Trump rhetoric. In describing getting nothing accomplished through the laughable liar-nObama policy of “strategic patience,” doing nothing as N Korea built their nuclear program, Mitchell says, “What you’ve described is a traditional, appropriate diplomatic process.” For some reason Rice finds the characterization of her failures in that manner humorous, laughing dismissively at President Trump... https://rickwells.us/susan-rice-trump-korea/

Senate Claims to Fix its Wall Street Bill, 

But a look at the Text Says It's a Giveaway

by David Dayen

{ theintercept.com } ~ EARLIER THIS WEEK, the Senate got 50 Republicans, 16 Democrats, and one Democratic-leaning independent to move forward on S.2155, the bipartisan bank deregulation bill... With that base of support, prospects for passage are extremely bright — or dark, depending on how you view a bill that the Congressional Budget Office says heightens the risk of a financial crisis for the purpose of loosening rules on banks. There’s just one problem left: Almost nobody has any idea what the bill will ultimately look like. And they almost certainly won’t know until hours, or perhaps minutes, before they have to make a final decision. Senate Banking Committee chair Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, and four Banking Committee Democrats filed several last-minute changes in what’s known as a manager’s amendment late Wednesday. That’s a bill that incorporates unknown changes to a piece of legislation that has already passed committee. To spot the changes, a reader must compare the language of both bills...  https://theintercept.com/2018/03/08/senate-bank-bill-wall-street-banking/?utm_source=The+Intercept+Newsletter&utm_campaign=f87e916ec0-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_03_10&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e00a5122d3-f87e916ec0-131896129 

China Extends NoKo Nuke Olive Branch 

by Thomas Gallatin:  President Donald Trump on Thursday accepted an invitation to meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, an invitation that was relayed to the U.S. by South Korean officials who had recently met with the North. It’s important to note here that thus far the North Korean regime has not publicly or officially requested a meeting with Trump. That said, there is no reason to doubt Kim’s desire to have a face-to-face meeting with the president, as it would serve to validate his leadership status on the world scene. On the possibility of a diplomatic solution, Trump struck a positive yet realistic note, tweeting, “Kim Jong Un talked about denuclearization with the South Korean Representatives, not just a freeze. Also, no missile testing by North Korea during this period of time. Great progress being made but sanctions will remain until an agreement is reached. Meeting being planned!”

            There has been quite a bit of Leftmedia consternation over the implications of Trump’s acceptance. Many have questioned if Trump fully appreciates the dangers. U.S. policy has long resisted offering any validation to the rogue regime — validation it could then leverage geopolitically. As has been repeatedly noted by the MSM, this face-to-face meeting would be a first for a sitting U.S. president.
            However, what has been missed by much of the MSM coverage is the region’s biggest player, China. The Kim regime’s long-running control of North Korea could not have existed without significant support from the communists in Beijing. In fact, North Korea is a puppet of the Chinese.
            It is interesting to note that the day Trump announced his plan for tariffs on steel, North Korean officials reached out to officials in the South requesting a meeting. Undoubtedly, Kim has felt the sting of Trump’s economic sanctions, but more than Kim, it is the Chinese who have the most to lose economically, especially if war were to break out on the Korean peninsula. Trump’s announcement of a tariff on Chinese steel and aluminum may have finally been the straw that broke the camel’s back. If China is willing to truly end the nuclear threat posed by its North Korean puppet, then maybe it can get concessions from Trump on tariffs.
            The fact of the matter is that the U.S. is China’s largest single trade partner and second largest regional partner behind only the European Union, accounting for over $521 billion in trade annually. Meanwhile, the North Korean economy is almost entirely dependent on China, which accounts for over 90% of its imports and over 85% of its exports. Quite literally, China is North Korea’s lifeline. Thus, as we have noted previously, China is the key to effectively dealing with North Korea.
            Trump has indicated that he has no plans to withdraw any sanctions until there are actual results, and talks don’t equate to results. Rep. Edward Royce (R-CA), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee argued for a cautious approach, saying, “We can pursue more diplomacy as we keep applying pressure ounce by ounce.” He added, “Remember, North Korean regimes have repeatedly used talks and empty promises to extract concessions and buy time. North Korea uses this to advance its nuclear and missile programs. We’ve got to break this cycle.”
            Kevin Martin, president of Peace Action, said, “North Korea is putting virtually all topics of concerns on the table. Trump now has the opportunity to achieve what no president has been able to achieve in seven decades of U.S.-North Korea relations: make real strides towards lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula.” Is it North Korea or is it China that is putting denuclearization on the table? Either way, it is sincerely hoped that a nuclear North Korea comes to an end.   ~The Patriot Post

Kim Jong Un The Party Animal – S Koreans 

Say He Loves His Humor And Booze 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ There’s little debate over whether or not Kim Jong Un is a ruthless and brutal tyrant... but it does seem he’s one with a some normal aspects to his personality. We’re learning that when he met with the South Korean contingent for dinner, there was a lot of alcohol flowing and he actually joked about himself. Taken in addition to the surprising messaging of the N. Korean Olympic delegation, which included his sister and the “geisha cheerleaders,” we perhaps are seeing a different Kim than the squatty little dictator we’ve believed he was. Kim received two years of his education at Liebefeld-Steinhölzli Schule, a Swiss state school. He received failing grades in science, but was more adept in music and math. His dictator dad gave him an external perspective as part of his grooming process. He interacted with other foreign kids, the children of diplomats, which was also a valuable learning experience. Some of those foundational skills may now be coming into play... https://rickwells.us/kim-party-humor-booze/

Pro-Abortion Justice Anthony Kennedy 

Will Reportedly Retire This Summer,

Replacement Could Overturn Roe 

by STEVEN ERTELT 

{ lifenews.com } ~ Christmas may have come early for the pro-life movement. Since 1973, pro-life people have been yearning for the day that a majority pro-life Supreme Court would overturn Roe v Wade... Although the high court has been closely divided over the years it has always stayed at least one vote on the pro-abortion side. Justice Anthony Kennedy is one of those votes in favor of keeping Roe vs Wade in place and its allowance for virtually unlimited abortions nationwide. But the latest news today indicates he may possibly be retiring this summer — opening the door for another justice who respects the value of human life or at least the rule of law without using the Supreme Court to invent a fictitious right to abortion... http://www.lifenews.com/2018/03/09/pro-abortion-justice-anthony-kennedy-will-reportedly-retire-this-summer-replacement-could-overturn-roe/

Karma For Iran As London Embassy 

Is Taken Over by Jihadists 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ It’s been thirty-eight years since a mob of Iranian “students” seized the US embassy in Tehran and took the Americans inside captive... holding them for 444 days. Karma sometimes takes a while to make its way back around but today it paid the Iranians a well-deserved visit, coming to their own embassy in London. Four men have forced their way onto the Iranian embassy with only baseball bats and machetes as weapons. London police have been deployed to the site. Slogans chanted by the attackers indicate they are radical Islamists of the Sadeq Shirazi Shiite sect. The Iranian Fars News service reports that that group is supported by London, whose Mayor Khan is also a jihadi. The Iranian Ambassador to Britain, Hamid Baeedinejad, confirmed the attack. He tweeted, “A few followers of Shirazi have attacked the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Embassy in London and broke the flag mast.” He noted that they were “chanting slogans against Iranian officials.” It seems that the regime’s “death to America” tactic can be modified for use in other situations...  https://rickwells.us/karma-iran-london-embassy/

Tariffs Are A Move Towards Fair Trade: Former Home Depot CEO Bob Nardelli | CNBC

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC8yBT5a8Oo

.

Man of Steel Tariffs 

by Nate Jackson:  President Donald Trump announced his 25% steel and 10% aluminum tariffs Thursday, a week after floating the idea. They’ll take effect in two weeks. Perhaps most importantly on the actual policy, Trump carved out exemptions for Canada and Mexico while NAFTA negotiations continue — just as we speculated he would. Trump also indicated there would be possible exemptions for other nations if reciprocal trade concessions are made.

            The economics of his tariffs, as we argued last week, are a mixed bag. While obviously the steel and aluminum industries will benefit — indeed, companies are already announcing expansion and jobs — industries dependent on steel and aluminum will suffer, jobs will be lost and many products will become more expensive.
            But those aren’t Trump’s only considerations. During his televised signing ceremony, he declared, “Today I’m defending America’s national security by placing tariffs on foreign imports of steel and aluminum.” Aside from any real national security concerns, there are two reasons for his focus. First, in order to act without Congress, he must justify it on national security grounds. Were the tariffs only for economic reasons, he’d be stuck waiting. Second, the same justification avoids World Trade Organization sanctions.
            From a strategic perspective, Trump’s tariffs are 90% “art of the deal” and 10% bluster — a shot over the bow of NAFTA nations as well as China (see North Korea for why that’s true). Trump is a dealmaker first and foremost, and he arguably knows more about business than any previous president in history — and most definitely more than many of the talkingheads churning the news-cycle rant loop about tariffs. He’s using that knowledge for the purposes of foreign policy.
            As for all the Republican blowback, it’s largely about necessary political cover in an election year. The targeted tariffs play well with Trump’s America First blue-collar base across the nation (formerly the Democrats’ base), and particularly in a few hard-hit industrial states.
            Unfortunately, as we noted Wednesday, EU officials have shrewdly targeted Harley Davidson, based in House Speaker Paul Ryan’s home state of Wisconsin, bourbon made in Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s home state of Kentucky, and orange juice from Florida, the perennial swing state. That punishes Trump’s allies and voters.
            At the same time, the U.S. economy is an enormous chunk of the world economy and most of our trade partner beneficiaries will tread carefully in terms of retaliation. On balance, we’d say tariffs are a net drag on the economy, as the vehement opposition signifies, but Trump has an uncanny way of turning this kind of chaos to his advantage.   ~The Patriot Post

Massive Iranian Missile Buildup 

Sparks Fear of ‘Second Holocaust’ 

by Adam Kredo

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Iran is undertaking a massive buildup of its ballistic missile program, sparking fears of a "second Holocaust"... amid sensitive international negotiations that could see the Trump administration legitimize Iranian missiles capable of striking Israel, according to multiple sources familiar with ongoing diplomatic talks. As the Trump administration and European allies continue discussions aimed at fixing a range of flaws in the landmark Iran nuclear deal, sources familiar with the progression of these talks say the United States is caving to European demands limiting restrictions on Iran's ballistic missile program. While the Trump administration went into the negotiations with a hardline stance on cutting off Iran's ballistic missile program, it appears the United States is moving closer in line with European positions that would only regulate a portion of the missiles... http://freebeacon.com/national-security/massive-iranian-missile-buildup-sparks-fear-second-holocaust/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=01a8ee6a11-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_03_08&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-01a8ee6a11-45611665 

Remote-access software

That is untrue, according to a New York Times Magazine investigation last month that described Election Systems & Software, the largest manufacturer of voting machines, selling hardware with election-management systems pre-installed with remote-access software.

The Second Era of No Decision 

by Matthew Continetti

{ freebeacon.com } ~ I had to travel to Silicon Valley to be reminded of how much our time resembles the late nineteenth century... Visiting the Stanford campus this week on a Hoover Institution media fellowship, I spoke to professors who view D.C. politics from a distance both critical and geographic. I was startled by how often the Gilded Age came up, unprompted, in my conversations. It was helpful to be reminded that, while the Beltway is obsessed with personalities—Stormy Daniels, Gary Cohn, Robert Mueller, Jared Kushner, and above all Donald Trump—the structural forces that have brought us to this moment are more important and more enduring. Niall Ferguson mentioned a lecture he first delivered in 2016 on the five ingredients of a populist backlash. Recalling the Gilded Age of robber barons, bimetallism, the Panic of 1873, and Yellow Journalism, Ferguson pointed to income inequality, immigration, elite corruption, financial crisis, and demagogues as commonalities between that distant era and our own. In an excellent 2017 presentation, D.C. consultant Bruce Mehlman noted further parallels. Both epochs had massive changes in employment. During the Gilded Age, agricultural jobs disappeared as workers poured into manufacturing. Today, manufacturing jobs go missing as workers enter the service sector. Disruptive technologies and the men who amass fortunes from innovation also define both periods. Then it was Carnegie and steel, Rockefeller and oil, Vanderbilt and railroads. Now it is Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and web search, Jeff Bezos and e-commerce, Mark Zuckerberg and the social network...  http://freebeacon.com/columns/second-era-no-decision/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=01a8ee6a11-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_03_08&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-01a8ee6a11-45611665 

AIPAC has a substantive case to make 

to Dems --- but are they capable of doing so?

by Caroline B. Glick 

{ jewishworldreview.com } ~ AIPAC’s mission to cultivate and maintain bipartisan support for Israel in the United States is an important mission... Unfortunately, the messages AIPAC’s leaders delivered during the organization’s annual policy convention this week in Washington indicate that they are at a loss for how to achieve their mission in the contentious political environment now prevalent in post- liar-nObama America. Their befuddlement is not surprising. For the eight years of Barack liar-nObama’s presidency, AIPAC’s leaders showed a consistent inability to understand the challenges they faced. And since they were unable to understand how or why the liar-nObama administration was undermining AIPAC, they couldn’t protect AIPAC or advance its mission during his tenure in office.  At this week’s AIPAC convention, the message emanating from the speeches AIPAC’s senior leadership delivered was that they still don’t get what happened.  And largely as a consequence, they do not understand the challenges they face as an organization moving forward. And again, since they don’t understand what happened, or what is happening, they are incapable of meeting today’s challenges to AIPAC’s mission in a constructive way... http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0318/glick030818.php3

Slouching Towards Anti-Semitism 

by Arnold Ahlert:  At the 2012 Democrat Party Convention, the effort to reinstate the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital into the party’s platform was met with a chorus of boos loud enough to completely fluster convention chairman and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. After calling for a vote three times, Villaraigosa simply decided the “ayes” were in the majority — an assertion met with another chorus of boos. An anomalous moment?

            Clarifying is more like it. “The California Democratic Party adopted a resolution at their annual convention on Sunday to oppose federal bills intended to thwart the movement to boycott Israel,” The Forward reported on Feb. 28.
            In 1977, Congress passed legislation prohibiting Americans from complying with foreign government-imposed boycotts against nations friendly to the United States. It was supported by the Business Roundtable, American Jewish organizations and Jimmy Carter’s administration. In 2017, Congress sought to update that law with the Israel Anti-Boycott Act, adding international organizations like the United Nations or the EU that might also be inclined to pressure businesses to boycott the Jewish State.
            This effort was aimed at defusing the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which has been the radical Left’s favorite pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel platform, with all the attendant assertions of Israeli “occupation” of Palestinian territories included.
            “Radical” is a key word here. In 2016, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law Assembly Bill 2844. The anti-discrimination law made it clear that California’s government would bar companies that engage in discrimination against any sovereign nation from doing business with the state. Sec. 2. (c) of the law specifically barred discrimination against “the nation and people of Israel.” The State Senate approved the bill by a vote of 34 to 1, and the State Assembly approved it by a vote of 69 to 1.
            Eighteen months later, these same Democrats opposed federal legislation similar to the bill they had passed almost unanimously. Thus, what used to be “radical” leftist politics is now mainstream Democrats Party politics in the Golden State — all the attendant anti-Semitic implications included.
            Is it just Golden State Democrats? The ACLU branded versions of the act making its way through both chambers of Congress as anti-First Amendment, despite the reality that nothing prevents anyone from expressing any opinion about Israel. Yet that was all the necessary cover for Democrats fearful of their increasingly leftist, pro-BDS base. New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand withdrew her support for the bill, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren hedged, insisting, “The boycott is wrong, but I think outlawing protected free speech activity violates our basic Constitution.” Democrat Senators Chris Murphy (CT) and Tammy Duckworth (IL) and Rep. Joe Kennedy (MA) were also vacillating with regard to the legislation.
            And not just that legislation. Last August, Senate Minority Leader Chuck clown-Schumer (D-NY) announced he’d co-sponsor the Taylor Force Act, named after Army veteran Taylor Force, who was murdered by a Palestinian while touring Israel. The act would stop American taxpayers from subsidizing the Palestinian Authority (PA) until it ended its reprehensible habit of providing terrorists freed from prison with a government job and a salary — one that is higher if their crime is more heinous.
          The consummate no-brainer? Four Democrat senators, Chris Murphy (CT), Tom Udall (NM), Jeff Merkley (OR) and Corey Booker (NJ), voted to kill it in committee. And while the bill passed overwhelmingly in the House, it has yet to be voted on in the Senate.
            Why are many Democrats embracing such hostility toward Israel? According to a poll conducted by Nielsen Scarborough, 56% of their constituents back economic sanctions and other get-tough measures against Israel, and 72% believe America unfairly favors Israel over the Palestinians.
            Moreover, a Pew poll released in January reveals that since 2001, the share of Democrats sympathizing more with Israel has declined 11 points, from 38% to 27%. The decline among Democrat Millennials is even more pronounced: Approximately 27% of Millennials now say they are more sympathetic to the Palestinians than Israel, compared to only 9% in 2006.
            The party’s schism is best revealed by the split between supporters of liar-Hillary Clinton and commie-Bernie Sanders. liar-Clinton’s supporters favored Israel over the Palestinians, 47% to 27%. commie-Sanders supporters favored the Palestinians over Israel, 39% to 33%.
            Since commie-Sanders supporters tend to be younger, Democrat politicians are apparently becoming more attuned to their social justice warrior sensibilities. Sensibilities increasingly aligned with the contemptuous notion that Israel is an apartheid state engaged in Palestinian genocide.
            Yet Israel is only part of the dynamic, or perhaps better described as a useful distraction for the increasing levels of progressive-supported anti-Semitism per se. Nothing speaks to this reality better than leftist support for Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who once called Judaism a “gutter religion.”
            In a major speech on Feb. 25, Farrakhan remained true to his worldview, asserting that Jews were “the mother and father of apartheid,” and declaring that “when you want something in this world, the Jew holds the door.”
            CNN’s Jake Tapper sidestepped a media-imposed blackout and covered the speech, noting that despite the “inherent” anti-Semitism  and anti-homosexual comments expressed by Farrakhan, “several leaders of the Women’s March are supporters of Farrakhan and have not condemned him.” He also leveled the same accusation against members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
            The proverbial shoe fits. One of Women’s March organizers was Linda Sarsour, who has long supported Farrakhan. She once insisted “nothing is creepier than Zionism,” and justified terrorism as a response to a “racist, supremacist, violent [Israeli] regime” that views Palestinians as “less than human.”
            Another organizer, Tamika Mallory, criticized by Tapper for attending Farrakhan’s rant, was “defended” by Bronx rapper and political activist Mysonne — who insisted Farrakhan was right to blame Jews for the “violence, control, pain and destruction” they have imposed on black people.
            Mallory herself, who received a shout-out from Farrakhan at the rally, posted a number of tweets insisting she was the victim of “bullying.”
          The Congressional Black Caucus? At least seven Democrats — Reps. mad-Maxine Waters (CA), Barbara Lee (CA), Danny Davis (IL), Andre Carson (IN), scum-Keith Ellison (MN), Gregory Meeks (NY) and and Al Green (TX) — have attended meetings with Farrakhan.
            The same Congressional Black Caucus that buried a 2005 photo of Farrakhan with Barack liar-nObama.
         

 Thus, the paper asserts, the Democrat Party’s “reliable support for Israel looks to be a thing of the past.”
          Columnist Dennis Prager is even more assertive, declaring, “The day America abandons Israel will be the beginning of the end of America as we know it.”                                                                                                                                                                                        Not America, Mr. Prager. The Democrat Party. One on the verge of a moral meltdown fueled by identity politics, in all their tribalist — and burgeoning anti-Semitic — glory.    ~The Patriot Post

{ rickwells.us } ~ One of the hosts of the libtard propaganda chat show “CBS This Morning,” Gayle King... appears from their girl talk to have personally invited noWinfrey on the program earlier this week to bolster her chances in an potential run for the White House and to convince her to do so. It seems that the leftist media is so comfortable in their control of the messaging that they no longer even attempt to hide their bias, at least King doesn’t. She tells noWinfrey, “nOprah, nobody should be convinced to run for the Presidency she’ll try anyway, but I also think you have a very unique ability in terms of healing and connecting all people.” There you go, leftists. It doesn’t matter if you can run a country, something Hussein liar-nObama proved in getting reelected, as long as you can make the stupid people feel better and impose communism through making them feel equal and “connected,” you’re perfect for the job... https://rickwells.us/cbs-oprah-winfrey-president/

Nearly 22,000 ‘truly needy’ people died

{ conservativeinstitute.org } ~ President Barack liar-nObama’s biggest legislative “accomplishment,” and a major part of his legacy, is the Affordable Care Act... also known as “ liar-nObamacare.” While it was hailed as a remedy to the supposed health care crisis, it ended up being one of the worst scams ever perpetrated on the American people. Now the true cost of liar-nObamacare is becoming known—and that cost is being measured in not just dollars, but human lives. A new study by the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) found that nearly 22,000 “truly needy” Americans have died while languishing on Medicaid waiting lists — even as Medicaid expansions under liar-nObamacare enrolled millions of able-bodied people... This also should be on the backs of the Democratic party who voted for it.   https://www.conservativeinstitute.org/healthcare/22000-died-medicaid-obamacare.htm?utm_source=boomtrain&utm_medium=automated&utm_campaign=ci1&utm_source=boomtrain&utm_medium=automated&utm_campaign=ci1

Susan Rice Unmasked The 

Names In The Seychelles Meeting 

by Denise Simon 

{ trevorloudon.com } ~ Who is George Nader? A Lebanese-American businessman, Nader currently serves as an adviser to Emirati Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan... who has developed a close relationship with Jared Kushner. For years, Nader has been a well-known, if somewhat off-the-radar, figure in certain political circles. According to the Times, Nader worked with the liar-Bill Clinton administration in its attempt to broker a peace deal between Syria and Israel, convincing the White House that he could leverage his influential contacts with the Syrian government. After the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Nader worked with Prince’s private security company, Blackwater—which is now known as Academi—as a “business-development consultant,” according to a 2010 deposition. At the time of the 2016 election, he was serving as an adviser to Prince Mohammed, and was a frequent visitor to the White House during the early months of the Trump administration, where he met with Kushner and former chief strategist Steve Bannon. George Nader, a Middle East expert connected to several associates of President Donald Trump, is now cooperating with the special counsel Robert Mueller and has testified before a grand jury in the Russia investigation, The New York Times reported Tuesday. FBI investigators approached Nader when he landed at Washington Dulles International Airport in January and served him with search warrants and a grand jury subpoena, the report said. At the time, Nader was en route to Mar-a-Lago to meet with President Donald Trump and his associates to celebrate the anniversary of Trump’s first year in office...   http://www.trevorloudon.com/2018/03/susan-rice-unmasked-the-names-in-the-seychelles-meeting/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NewZeal+%28New+Zeal+Blog%29

U.S. drone strike kills key 

Pakistani militants – more than 20 dead 

by conservativeinstitute.org 

{ conservativeinstitute.org } ~ A suspected U.S. drone strike killed more than 20 Taliban militants Wednesday... The airstrike is believed to have killed more than 20 terrorists including the son of the leader of Pakistan’s Taliban and a “master suicide bomber.”  Gul Mohammad, a leader in the group, and Qari Yaseen, a “master trainer of suicide bombers” were among the dead.

Mueller's Unending Investigation 

by Political Editors:  Special Counsel Robert Mueller recently subpoenaed emails from 10 members of President Donald Trump’s inner circle. This latest news seems to counter recent widespread speculation that Mueller was getting close to wrapping up his investigation, as it will likely take months to go through those emails. It also undermines the assertion that the investigation had turned from focusing on Trump; it clearly hasn’t.

            Judge Andrew Napolitano stated this week, “I believe he’s gearing up and the president remains in his crosshairs.” In fact, Napolitano noted, “There are actually three sets of legal crosshairs, so to speak. One seeks to determine whether the Trump campaign received ‘anything of value’ from any foreign national or foreign government, and whether Trump personally approved of it — a felony. Another inquiry seeks to determine whether the president himself attempted to obstruct the work of the Mueller grand juries by firing then-FBI Director James Comey for a corrupt reason, one that is self-serving and lacking a bona fide governmental purpose — also a felony. The third inquiry seeks to examine whether Trump misused or misrepresented corporate funds or bank loans in his pre-presidential life — another felony. On this last point, he has already been accused by Nunberg, and the grand jury no doubt will hear about it.”
            Finally, Napolitano says, Mueller’s grand juries “could go to the end of Trump’s term.” So it’s looking more likely that the country and Trump will have to endure many more months, even years, of a continued cloud over this presidency.
            Gary Bauer observes, “Every day since the election, the Trump administration has been hobbled and hounded by a hostile media and a resistance movement fueled by the fantasy that Trump will be impeached because of collusion with Russia. Every day that Mueller continues his investigation — continues distracting the administration and dividing our country — is a victory for [Vladimir] Putin’s strategy.” Which is just what the Democrats ordered.   ~The Patriot Post

{ townhall.com } ~ Will the VA scandal never end?

While the Department of Veterans Affairs secretary lives high on the hog and his lying chief of staff resigns in disgrace while escaping any punishment, legions of vets every day in this country are denied the medical care they earned.

President Trump was supposed to drain the swamp. But at the historically fraud-ridden and profligate VA, the alligators continue feasting on the public dime.

Trump's VA secretary, David Shulkin, is an liar-nObama holdover. His main agenda is to block any real reforms for veterans, which includes expanding their ability to obtain care from private doctors and hospitals. His daughter, Jennifer, is a Harvard law student and loudmouth Huffington Post contributor who used her Twitter account recently to defend her dad against "right-winged, pro-privatization Trump appointees."

Two weeks ago, Shulkin launched a purge of what he calls "subversive" employees that he accuses of trying to undermine him. It's the same tactic liar-nObama VA officials used to silence whistleblowers who exposed secret waiting lists to nowhere that cost untold thousands of patients across at least seven states their lives.

This latest witch hunt for dissenters comes in the wake of a scathing inspector general's report last month on Shulkin's 10-day junket to Europe last summer. The VA secretary spent a grand total of three and a half days on supposed business meetings in Copenhagen and London. For the rest of the time, Shulkin directed a VA underling to act as his personal travel agent -- on your dime -- to plan sightseeing for him and his wife, including:

--Touring Amalienborg Palace for the changing of the guard and visiting Christiansborg Palace, Rosenborg Castle and Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark.

--Boating and dining in Copenhagen and dining in Malmo, Sweden.

--Trekking to the Churchill War Rooms, Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, Westminster Abbey, Thames River, St. Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe, the London Eye and Windsor Castle.

The inspector general discovered that Shulkin also improperly accepted Wimbledon tickets from a British socialite. To evade ethics guidelines, Shulkin claimed the socialite was his wife's "friend," but the socialite couldn't even remember Shulkin's wife's name when questioned by investigators.

Nice family vacay if you can get it -- and you can get it subsidized, if your underlings lie.

Shulkin's chief of staff, Vivieca Wright Simpson, admitted doctoring an email in order to get Shulkin's wife's airfare paid for by the public. Wright Simpson misled an ethics officer into believing that Shulkin was receiving an award at a dinner and that his wife therefore qualified as an "invitational traveler." It was a big fat fabrication. Shulkin received no award. His wife was not eligible for the travel reimbursements for her whopping $4,000 plane tickets.

Nevertheless, Wright Simpson -- a career bureaucrat who started at the VA in 1998 and ascended during the liar-nObama administration -- was allowed to retire with full benefits. No punishment.

Shulkin remains unrepentant and baselessly blamed a computer "hack" for his top aide's email shenanigans. The IG found no evidence of his backside-covering claim. The ghost of Anthony Weiner lives.

And just wait, another shoe of corruption is about to drop. According to The Daily Beast, another IG report involving Shulkin's "use of his security detail to run personal errands" may be released in the next week. Shulkin's response? Underlings are reporting that he is in the throes of "paranoia," ordering an "armed guard" to stand watch outside his office and banning employees he suspects of "disloyalty."

The VA's culture of fear and reprisals against whistleblowers is endemic. Accountability is rarer than a Siamese unicorn. Fiscally responsible vets seeking coverage for emergency room bills are punished for not seeing VA doctors enough. The administrators responsible for blowing a billion-dollar hole in the budget of the Aurora, Colorado, VA boondoggle have escaped any consequences.

The last thing this corrupted bureaucracy needs is a Captain Queeg-meets-Leona Helmsley at the helm.

As Colorado GOP Rep. Mike Coffman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee wrote in a letter to the White House last week: "Mr. President, you promised the American people that you would end the culture of corruption and bureaucratic incompetence that for far too long has defined the leadership of the VA. Unfortunately, Secretary Shulkin, by his conduct, lacks the moral authority to achieve your goals of a transparent, accountable VA."

President Trump, your corrupt VA secretary is hostile to you, to the truth and to the taxpayers. He needs to hear those famous words from you:

"You're fired."

Pruitt's $1 Billion Rollback at the EPA 

https://cached-assets.patriotpost.us/images/2017-11-01-7f15919a_large.jpg" width="454" height="227" />
by Business Review Board:  On Feb. 17, 2017, Scott Pruitt — formerly a conservative lawmaker and attorney general in Oklahoma — succeeded in becoming the new face of the EPA. Democrats didn’t take his ascension very well. In fact, Pruitt was forced to reinforce his security detail last autumn because of numerous death threats from ecofascists. The Left’s adversarial attitude toward Pruitt is better understood when you consider just how pivotal of a role he has in the Trump administration.

            The EPA just revealed that Pruitt’s deregulatory endeavor has yielded $1 billion in cost savings after just one year. This was the direct outcome of nearly two dozen deregulations. More importantly, it’s also only a taste of what’s coming down the pipeline. The Clean Power Plan and Clean Water Rule are just two of the 44 additional deregulations that are currently on the agency’s docket. It’s estimated that the elimination of the Clean Power Plan could single-handedly save the economy upwards of $33 billion. With results like these, no wonder leftists loathe Pruitt with such tenacity.
            Of course, this also speaks to the enormous influence of Pruitt’s predecessor, Gina McCarthy. Much of the current administration’s work is geared toward fixing what she broke and the billions of dollars with which she unnecessarily burdened the economy. Pruitt’s progress could be even further along had he not had to first put out a massive inferno of McCarthy’s making. Even still, he is making significant headway, and that will give the economy more and more breathing room. It’s also a reminder that no government agency should ever have so much control over a free-market economy.   ~The Patriot Post

Sessions Ponders 2nd Special Counsel – Still

Defending Wray, Rosenstein, DOJ Deep State

{ rickwells.us } ~ Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been facing increasing criticism for his failures to act in a timely manner... to issues of corruption within DOJ and the FBI, including his failure to examine the free pass given to liar-Hillary Clinton by James Comey and his inappropriate relationship and conduct jointly with former AG Loretta Lynch.  Fox News’ Shannon Bream interviewed Sessions while he was in California addressing their rebellious state government through a meeting of law enforcement officers, and asked him about his efforts to clean things up in his own DOJ house.

U.S. Short Almost 2,000 Mariners 

to Supply American Forces in War

by John Grady

{ news.usni.org } ~ If push comes to shove, the U.S. doesn’t have enough mariners to move tanks, personnel carriers, ammunition, medicines, food and water into a hot zone in a prolonged crisis... the head of the Maritime Administration said Thursday. The U.S. is short about 1,800 mariners, Retired Rear Adm. Mark Buzby told a joint hearing of the House Armed Services readiness and seapower and projection forces subcommittees. That total doesn’t take into account casualties while operating in a contested environment, he said. In answer to a question from the panel, Air Force Gen. Darren McDew, head of Transportation Command, added, “We’ll have to fight our way in to get to the fight” and “we don’t control everything like we once did,” referring to air and sea, meaning potential loss of ships and crew. Although the number of qualified mariners is at a “historic low,” the decline may not have bottomed out...  https://news.usni.org/2018/03/08/marad-u-s-short-almost-2000-mariners-supply-american-forces-war?utm_source=USNI+News&utm_campaign=3d90b38add-USNI_NEWS_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0dd4a1450b-3d90b38add-231491269&mc_cid=3d90b38add&mc_eid=3999f18767 

More Taxpayer Bailouts Will Only Paper

by Robert Moffit 

{ dailysignal.com } ~ It appears that Congress, backed by powerful special interests in the health care industry, is getting ready to bail out, once again... liar-nObamacare’s failing health insurance program. Last year, President Donald Trump canceled the cost-sharing reduction subsidies for people buying coverage in the liar-nObamacare exchanges. These taxpayer subsidies offset the out-of-pocket costs of these enrollees. Trump’s horrified critics predicted that these spending cuts would mean millions would no longer be able to afford health insurance coverage.  In fact, Trump’s critics were quite wrong...   http://dailysignal.com/2018/03/08/more-taxpayer-bailouts-will-only-paper-over-obamacares-many-failures/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTlRkaFpqSTVPVGt4TWpaayIsInQiOiJ2OTNXcGpmRjZRM1p2T1VORzFWbWFTMlJtN1I3NzM4TkFtXC9OOW9OdW5waHpjb0ZQOGc2eVNiaUdOQTRQa0h3QzROUGpIUVl2TklrbVpsYUtOa2lSZjFLaDBJYkNNa1Z2SGdhOEM1aVpIdFQyYVlqSDhoWGR5V0hZSCtidlwvbW80In0%3D

{ ickwells.us } ~ President Trump has agreed to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in response to an invitation... extended earlier today sent to the South Korean government. South Korean National Security Adviser Chung Eui-Yong recently led a delegation to Pyongyang which seems to be already bearing fruit. In a Thursday briefing, Chung delivered a personal letter to President Trump from Kim Jong Un, inviting the President to meet. Chung told reporters that North Korea has stated their commitment to denuclearization, stating that Kim had expressed “his eagerness to meet President Trump as soon as possible.” He also announced the results, a positive response from the President, stating, “President Trump appreciated the greeting and said he would meet Kim Jong un by May to achieve permanent denuclearization.”...  https://rickwells.us/trump-kim-meet-face/

scum-HOLDER/liar-nOBAMA PARTNERED 

With DRUG CARTELS? – Secrets Coming 

Out In Fast and Furious 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ Congressman Darrell Issa was chairman of the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee during the Fast and Furious scandal... He speaks to the significance of the new document production and the crimes of scum-Eric Holder that may now finally be exposed. Issa says, “It’s important because it does give us access, not just to the documents that are going to be turned over but an agreed on search. In other words, scum-Eric Holder systematically obstructed justice, including carefully making sure that the search was not thorough enough.”  He says, “Once that was discovered and agreed to, it gives us an opportunity to get these documents and maybe additional documents that will shed light, for the Terry family, on the one question you heard Brian’s brother ask. It’s not just the cover up but it’s why.”...  https://rickwells.us/holder-obama-drug-cartels/

Crafting a US Response to Turkish Intransigence

by Gregg Roman

{ meforum.org } ~ In a rare public policy speech in mid-December, National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster singled out Turkey... as one of the two leading state sponsors alongside Qatar of "radical Islamist ideology." The Turkish government protested the statement as "astonishing, baseless and unacceptable," which means it was a pretty good start. McMaster's speech highlighted an emerging recognition among Trump administration officials that Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's Turkey poses a pernicious threat to US interests in the Near East. Since McMaster's speech, Erdoğan has invaded Afrin, Syria a city then controlled by America's Kurdish allies, massacring women, children and the elderly; promoted the use of child soldiers in his fight against the Kurds; and undermined U.S. sanctions against Iran. A Manhattan Federal District Court's guilty verdict against a Turkish banker accused of helping Iran evade sanctions speaks volumes about the growing threat posed by Erdoğan's Turkey. Although Erdoğan was not charged in the case, "testimony suggested he had approved the defendant's sanctions-busting scheme" to launder billions of dollars for Iran beginning in 2012, according to the New York Times...  http://www.meforum.org/7239/crafting-a-us-response-to-turkish-intransigence?utm_source=Middle+East+Forum&utm_campaign=0c222e5361-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_03_07&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_086cfd423c-0c222e5361-33703665&goal=0_086cfd423c-0c222e5361-33703665 

Now Is Congress’ Prime 

Opportunity to Act on Nuclear Waste

by Katie Tubb 

Congress has pushed through a series of five stopgap measures to fund the government... and is now in final negotiations for a trillion-dollar omnibus spending bill to cover the rest of the fiscal year. For an hour on Monday night, a group of congressmen from both parties and from all across the U.S. took the floor to remind the nation and their colleagues why funding for nuclear waste management needs to be in that bill. Or, as one congressman put it, “why we need to get our act together.” To address the storage issue, Congress directed the Energy Department to begin collecting nuclear waste by 1998 and chose Yucca Mountain in Nevada as the site for a permanent repository, pending approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Yet 20 years later, Americans are still waiting... http://dailysignal.com/2018/03/07/now-congress-prime-opportunity-act-nuclear-waste/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CapitolBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiT0RrMFlXUTFOV0kzT1RkaCIsInQiOiJXb01ZQnZoM3hWdWtIQjR6MW1TRUErQjJTbDVGeUNYVWhEK2JqcEszUEZrRlBDT2phZ2swTUluaGk1TkFKVW5yUk9QMnhkcW9SVGJEQ1d3TDJyWDc4OWZENjRra1h5T21iemlBMStBYkcyVG1CaDJkQ1VzWWtPdnFEUUxTd2dtdiJ9

The Real Tariff Gambit 

by Lewis Morris:  President Donald Trump’s plan to increase steel and aluminum tariffs has resulted in an unusual coalition of opponents. First there are the free traders in the GOP, led by House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Mitch McConnell, then there’s the globalist-minded International Monetary Fund, a smattering of big business trade groups, and, of course, leftist Democrats, who are against Trump’s plan simply because it is Trump’s plan. His top economic adviser, Gary Cohn, also resigned over it.

          Trump doesn’t mind or believe the opposition. “You know, when we’re behind on every single country, trade wars aren’t so bad,” he argued. “You understand what I mean by that? When we’re down by $30 billion, $40 billion, $60 billion, $100 billion, the trade war hurts them. It doesn’t hurt us, so we’ll see what happens.”
          It should not come as much of a surprise that Trump would raise tariffs. One of his major issues on the campaign trail in 2016 was the bad deal the U.S. was getting on trade agreements like NAFTA and the Trans-Pacific Partnership. His protectionist rhetoric won over voters in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and helped secure him the White House.
          Trump has already made good on his word by pulling America out of the TPP, and now he has NAFTA in his sights. NAFTA is currently being renegotiated, and Trump has made no secret that he is perfectly willing to walk away from the agreement altogether if disparities in manufacturing and technology that negatively impact American workers are not addressed. While everyone around Trump is getting a case of the vapors about him starting a worldwide trade war, it is Canada and Mexico who may be the real targets of the impending steel and aluminum tariffs.
          As our Nate Jackson said last week, “Trump often uses policies and rhetoric as negotiating ploys. Much as he’s verbally assaulted NAFTA, Trump may be merely setting a bargaining position, to be undone when he feels America’s position is stronger.”
          Lo and behold, citing the trade deficits that the U.S. has with Canada and Mexico, Trump indicated via Twitter this week that he would be willing to make exceptions on the new tariffs with the NAFTA partners, but only if a new trade agreement is signed that is satisfactory to U.S. economic interests.
          The GOP leadership gave voice to the biggest concern about where Trump’s actions will lead. “We are extremely worried about the consequences of a trade war and are urging the White House to not advance with this plan,” Paul Ryan’s spokeswoman AshLee Strong said. “The new tax reform law has boosted the economy and we certainly don’t want to jeopardize those gains.”
          The case has also been made that if the tariffs are meant to punish China, then they will miss the mark. “Hitting China and Canada with the same tariff doesn’t penalize China relative to anyone else,” says Dan Ikenson of the Cato Institute. “That doesn’t, and shouldn’t, sit well with exporters from countries that have done nothing wrong.” This includes allies such as Japan, South Korea and the European Union, who have already voiced their plans for retaliation.
          EU officials have politically targeted Harley Davidson, based in Ryan’s home state of Wisconsin, bourbon made in McConnell’s home state of Kentucky, and orange juice from Florida, the perennial swing state.
          Raising tariffs is certainly tricky business in our multi-layered global economy. It is almost impossible to avoid collateral damage in other sectors of the economy, as these retaliatory threats prove. But it is worth remembering that the U.S. is already subjected to unfair tariffs from Europe, where American agricultural products are virtually frozen out of the market, and Asia, where manufactured goods and technology have a hard time finding buyers because of high tariffs.
          If other nations can use tariffs to protect their economies and workers, then surely America has a right to do the same. Charles Payne of Fox Business News points out that the EU is offended by America’s new tariffs on steel and aluminum, but levies 10% tariffs on all U.S. car imports.
          Pat Buchanan likewise challenged the assumption that trade protectionism is a surefire recipe for disaster. He writes, “Under protectionist policies from 1865 to 1900, U.S. debt was cut by two-thirds. Customs duties provided 58 percent of revenue. Commodity prices fell 58 percent. Real wages, despite a doubling of the population, rose 53 percent. Growth in GDP averaged over 4 percent a year. Industrial production rose almost 5 percent a year.”
          The new NAFTA deal is supposed to be reached by the end of March, so we may know in a few weeks if Trump’s plan works or not. In the meantime, the broader argument about the wisdom of higher tariffs will continue to play out. And, who knows? If Trump has his way, it may lead to some more trade deals with other countries.

DeSantis – 2nd Special Counsel Can’t Be 

liar-CLINTON Pt 2 – Must Be A 

REAL INVESTIGATION 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ Lou Dobbs says today was a day of extraordinary developments, noting the partial settlement of litigation between the House Oversight Committee... and the DOJ over documents relating to scum-Holder and liar-nObama’s gun-running operation, Fast and Furious and the intensifying calls for a second special counsel. He asks his guest, Rep Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for his views, as one who has been calling for months for a second special counsel to be appointed. He says he thinks the trigger that caused the calls for another special counsel to increase was the statement by AG Jeff Sessions that he was going to leave the investigation up to the Inspector General. He says a lot of people in the House who might have been on the fence about the issue realized that the “Inspector General has no prosecutorial authority, he can’t hold anybody accountable. He can’t even subpoena people who are outside the department, so people like Comey and Clapper, he has no access to any of those.”...   https://rickwells.us/desantis-special-counsel-clinton/

House Oversight Committee Calls for

Investigation into liar-nObama 

by Matt

{ thepoliticalinsider.com } ~ Barack liar-nObama set the record for the greatest number of regulations enacted during one presidency – but when it came to government surveillance... he was more than happy to deregulate away the hurdles that agencies would need to spy and share surveillance with one another. In fact, one of the last things liar-nObama did while in office was sign off on new rules relaxing NSA rules that hampered their ability to share surveillance intelligence. This rule change officially happened on January 12, 2017, just days before Trump was elected, and while liar-nObama was officially in the “lame duck” stage of his presidency. While every other president was confined to granting pardons in that late stage, liar-nObama was changing rules for surveillance. Why? Could it have been that the NSA has been acting recklessly throughout liar-nObama’s presidency, in complete disregard for the rules on the books at the time, and liar-nObama needed to simply change the rules after the fact to justify their actions?... https://thepoliticalinsider.com/second-special-counsel/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=criticalimpact&utm_campaign=TPI_Morning_Newsletter_3_8_2018&utm_content=4b4ea4948726422aa6473c7b9fa19141&source=CI

New York Times Issues Humiliating 

Correction to Hit Piece on Trump Tax Cuts 

by JOHN NOLTE 

{ breitbart.com } ~ The far-left New York Times was forced to issue a massive and humiliating correction in a piece that was obviously meant to scare middle-class families... into believing President Trump’s recently passed tax plan would explode their tax liability. To prove that Trump’s tax cuts would, in fact, increase taxes on the middle class, the Times made up an imaginary family and created an interactive showcase article that included this family’s imaginary tax returns. The only problem is that the Times got the math wrong. The Times announced, “2018’s Bottom Line,” adding, “The family would owe $3,896 more in taxes under the new tax law.” Two weeks later, the Wall Street Journal reported, the Times was forced to crawl back and add the kind of correction that is, in reality, a full-blown retraction...  http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2018/03/07/new-york-times-humiliating-correction-hit-piece-trump-tax-cuts/ 

Britain's Massive Charity Scam

by Giulio Meotti

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ In a secularized West, charitable organizations are the modern-day saints granting us our expiatory rites... Many humanitarian NGOs even seem to cater to Western consciences filled with guilt. Since these NGOs say they work on behalf of "humanity" and for a "better world", while possibly assuming that states and governments act only for the sake of social efficiency or their own self-preserving interests. Yet, often these NGOs risk becoming bureaucracies as much as states do, sometimes even with similar sexual and financial scandals. At times these NGOs also can look like just a "mammoth machinery" with more employees than services; a steep, often unaccountable budget, and an ideology promoting the worst "Western stereotyping". The weekly magazine The Spectator called them "the bad charity". Lately, not a single week has passed without a negative story in the press about British NGOs. Now Oxfam, one of the wealthiest and most important of them, is sinking from a series of scandals in Africa and Haiti. It used, it seems, taxpayers' money, intended for the earthquake victims, to pay for "Caligula-style orgies". It also fired the actresses Kristin Davis and Scarlett Johansson, who volunteered as Oxfam "ambassadors," after they appeared in advertisements for Israeli companies. Oxfam accused the women of rhetorically "oppressing" the Palestinians; meanwhile Oxfam's staff was physically oppressing the Haitians...   https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11998/britain-charities-scandal 

Unconstitutional No-Fly, No-Buy Won't Prevent Mass Murder 

by Louis DeBroux:  Watching the CNN town hall following the Parkland massacre — in which Republican Sen. Marco Rubio and NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch were accused of being Nazis and complicit in the 17 deaths at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School for daring defend the Constitution — reminds us of a truth written by 19th-century British journalist Walter Bagehot. He declared, “A democratic despotism is like a theocracy: it assumes its own correctness.”

          During this inquisition, whenever Rubio or Loesch attempted to introduce facts or reason into the gun debate, a howling mob screamed and shouted them down. The mindless outrage, refusing to allow a different opinion to even be spoken, was reminiscent of the “Two Minutes Hate” in George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984 — every citizen screaming hate and fury for exactly two minutes each day while watching a film depicting the state’s enemies.
          This is what public debate has been reduced to, with one side demanding the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens be stripped without due process, and accusing any dissenters of the most malevolent motivations and a desire to see children die gruesome deaths. It leads to a sort of security theater where “solutions” are proposed that do nothing to address the actual problem.
          And while this is being mostly driven by Democrats (who, as Justice Clarence Thomas notes in his concurrence in the McDonald v. Chicago case, originally passed gun control laws in order to leave blacks defenseless against KKK mobs), even a few Republicans have joined in, most notably Arizona’s retiring Sen. rino-Jeff Flake.
          rino-Flake introduced a bill that recycles a 2016 bill dubbed “No-Fly, No-Buy,” which would prohibit anyone on the federal government’s no-fly list from exercising his or her Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
          As The Federalist’s David Harsanyi notes,“One day Sen. rino-Jeff Flake is warning America about rising Stalinism and the next he's supporting a bill that strips the rights of citizens who’ve been arbitrarily placed on secret government lists without any probable cause or due process.”
          Indeed, rino-Flake’s bill represents an egregious infringement of the citizens’ First, Second, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights, giving often incompetent and/or abusively partisan bureaucrats the power to prohibit both travel and self-defense based on an inaccurate, extrajudicial government list.
          Both the NRA and the ACLU, which agree on very little, nevertheless concur that the “No-Fly, No-Buy” bill is bad legislation, and even leftist rags like The New York Times and Los Angeles Times published editorials in 2014 arguing that such a ban is unconstitutional.
          Why? The no-fly list is arbitrary; hundreds of thousands of Americans placed on the list have not only committed no crime but are not even suspected of committing a crime. By the government’s own admission, 40% of those on the watchlist have “no affiliation with recognized terrorism groups.”
          The Washington Examiner’s Philip Wegmann reports, “According to congressional testimony from 2014, the FBI estimates that those lists ‘currently stands at about 800,000 identities.’ Those names aren’t public though, and neither is the selection criteria. There is only one way to find out if your name is in that database: try boarding a plane.”
          The watchlist is so riddled with errors that Congressmen Tom McClintock (R-CA) and John Lewis (D-GA), as well as the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) found themselves on it. Despite their connections, it took months to get them removed. Granted, Kennedy probably should not have been allowed to drive a car, but that was no reason to keep him from flying. Regardless, if it took a U.S. senator and a congressman months to get off the list, what chance does the average citizen have of righting this injustice?
          Though Democrats are pushing the bill, minorities will be hurt most, especially those of Middle Eastern descent with names similar to actual terrorists. That may seem ironic — until we consider the effect of most Democrat policies. Still, one would think Lewis, who gained fame for bravely defying racist Democrats while crossing Selma’s Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965 and who was beaten with nightsticks by state troopers, would understand the right to defend oneself from violent criminals and tyrannical government alike is not a right to be lightly infringed upon. Alas, he does not.
          While in the aftermath of this horrific tragedy it’s understandable that many feel a desire to do something, anything, to fix the problem immediately, the reality is that the solution will not be found in the law but in the culture; and an angry, screaming mob mentality that sacrifices Liberty for political expediency and a false sense of security is unworthy of the highest traditions of the American founding.
          We wonder how quickly Democrats would change their tune if the proposed law prohibited these “potential terrorists” from voting or having abortions (after all, at least one innocent child is killed in every one of the 900,000 abortions performed annually in the U.S.).
          Strange indeed that Democrats still call for the closing of the terrorist detention center at Guantanamo Bay, declaring it a moral evil to imprison foreign enemy combatants without due process, even demanding constitutional rights for them. Yet these same Democrats (and, evidently, some Republicans) are all too eager to deprive actual American citizens, who have NOT been caught engaging in a violent act and who have NOT been accused (much less convicted) of a crime, of their own right to self-defense and free travel.
          Guns are the tools of these mass shootings, not the cause. The cause is a society that no longer respects the sanctity of human life. The cause is a society that actively erodes the traditional family bonds that create good and decent citizens. The cause is a society that immerses itself in graphic depictions of violence while pretending it has no impact on our collective psyche.
          It’s time to address the cause of these tragedies, while leaving our sacred rights intact.  ~The Patriot Post

Calif Gov Brown Sputters As He 

Feebly Attempts Sessions Rebuttal 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ California Governor Jerry Brown is really a parody of himself, a joke if it weren’t so serious... Virtually everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie, a talking point or both. He didn’t like the fact that his lawlessness and that of his minions in California is being challenged by the federal government. He went on camera to put the matter in the hands of his media propagandists to bail them out. Brown said, “It’s really unprecedented, for the chief law enforcement officer of the United States, to come out to California and act more like Fox News than a law enforcement officer.” Of course that statement makes no sense. Sessions was telling the crooked governor and his rebellious comrades defying federal law that they can’t get away with it. How are those the actions of Fox News? When did Bill Hemmer or Tucker Carlson speak before a group comparing the outlaw government of California to the Civil War South?...  https://rickwells.us/brown-feebly-sessions-rebuttal/

Women in Iran Are Standing 

Up to Oppressive Policies

by Madyson Hutchinson Posey

On March 8, the world will recognize International Women’s Day. This year... the campaign hopes to highlight global gender inequalities and advocate change under the slogan “Press for Progress.” Women across the globe face unique challenges to obtaining the same rights and privileges as their male counterparts. Recent protests over compulsory hijab laws in Iran remind us all why International Women’s Day is important. In December 2017, protests broke out across Iran over the negligence of government officials and the failing Iranian economy. However, the protests quickly gave way to a public outcry over gender discrimination laws. One woman in particular caught international attention when she stood on a street corner waving her hijab over her head...  http://dailysignal.com/2018/03/07/women-iran-standing-oppressive-policies/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWmpGaVltUm1ZbVE1TlRsaSIsInQiOiIxd3FMS0ZxYjMwSUI4VzhMQ05JVzZuZ3BieWZiUHJ6anJuVlZwMFdrYkhoKyswNzBtRkNJM2U1VTJIWmFXT3UzNk82Tm9rRHBrWHhlOFNFaW5RSnNFUEFcLzlPY3FzcytGcFFYNHpMM1VxUWh5NVZIMmQyMEV1d1JzVEFWNldSRTkifQ%3D%3D 

Celebrating Natan Sharansky 

by William A. Jacobson

{ legalinsurrection.com } ~ Natan Sharansky is winding down his leadership of The Jewish Agency for Israel, a post he has held since 2009...  The Jewish Agency serves to strengthen ties of Jews around the world with Israel. To honor Sharansky’s service and life, the Jewish Agency is encouraging people to share memories about Sharansky, including using the hashtag  #CelebrateWithNatan. So I thought I’d use this as an opportunity to recollect Legal Insurrection’s prior coverage of Sharansky, plus a new story I just learned about him. I have written several times about Sharansky’s super-human struggle as a prisoner in the Soviet Union. On the second day of Legal Insurrection’s existence, October 13, 2008, I wrote rino-John McCain and Nathan Sharansky, in which I discussed Sharansky’s prison struggle...  https://legalinsurrection.com/2018/03/celebrating-natan-sharansky-celebratewithnatan/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LegalInsurrection+%28Le%C2%B7gal+In%C2%B7sur%C2%B7rec%C2%B7tion%29

San Diego Schools Ordered To Reveal

Correspondence With Muslim Advocacy Group

by ANDREW KERR

{ dailycaller.com } ~ A federal judge ordered the San Diego Unified School District on Tuesday to hand over evidence detailing its correspondence with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)... about the implementation of a controversial anti-Islamophobia bullying initiative at San Diego public schools. The development is the latest in a long-running saga concerning school officials in San Diego coordinating with CAIR, an American-Muslim civil rights and religious organization with known links to a number of anti-Israel groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood. The controversy began in April when the San Diego school district announced it was launching an anti-Islamophobia initiative to combat what it described as a vast and underreported epidemic of anti-Muslim bullying in the district’s schools... I can remember back in the 50s to this date that bullying has always happen in schools. So what is this a big deal now. It will never change.   http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/07/san-diego-schools-correspondence-muslim-group/?utm_medium=email

DOJ Sues California Over Immigration Obstruction 

by Nate Jackson:  The Justice Department filed suit Tuesday against the state of California over the Golden State’s obstruction of federal immigration law. Specifically, the DOJ seeks an injunction against three recent California laws that are deliberately interfering with immigration enforcement. One law prevents businesses from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials by giving workers extra “protections.” Another grants authority to state officials to inspect and monitor Department of Homeland Security-run detention facilities in California. And the third is the infamous sanctuary state law that took effect Jan. 1 — the law prohibits state or local law enforcement officials from notifying their federal counterparts when an illegal alien ends up in custody, or from transferring those prisoners.

          Laws meant to protect the lawless are ironic, indeed. “The Department of Justice and the Trump Administration are going to fight these unjust, unfair and unconstitutional policies,” said Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Last year, the Justice Department also moved to defund sanctuary cities, which is being challenged in court.
          California is a key battleground because an estimated 2.5 million illegals reside there. That number will no doubt increase. State Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who is named in the DOJ suit, insists California will continue to “keep our communities safe.” In fact, he argues, “We believe we are in full compliance with the federal Constitution and federal law.” Democrats sure have a funny way of defining those terms.
          In some cases, the state is doing even more than claiming supremacy of state law over federal law, in violation of the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause (Article VI, Clause 2). One example is the recent case of Oakland’s Democrat mayor, Libby Schaaf, publicly warning illegals of upcoming ICE raids, saving an estimated 800 illegals from arrest. It’s one thing to leave enforcement of federal law to the feds and another to actively obstruct that enforcement. Such is the way of today’s Democrat Party.   ~The Patriot Post

US Steel and Century Aluminum Hiring 

Back Workers, Reopen Closed Plants 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ Many of the investment and manufacturing fat cats, politicians and others... who have their big money jobs regardless of how the American economy and our middle class perform are opposed to a resurgence in domestic steel and aluminum production because it will have a small negative impact on the prices of goods and services. They also claim that righting the wrongs of the past, where they preyed upon Americans, degrading the quality of their lives for the sacred bottom line is a bad thing. They must think we’re dummies. In exchange for paying that negligible price increase on consumer goods, Americans will become more independent, more secure and more wealthy, both as a nation and individually. U.S. Steel CEO David Burritt announced on CNBC on Wednesday that his company now plans to reopen its Granite City, IL plant and hire back 500 employees who lost their jobs due to unfair trade practices in 2015... https://rickwells.us/steel-aluminum-reopen-plants/

Announcement: TruthRevolt Closing Shop 

by Mark Tapson 

{ truthrevolt.org } ~ This is to announce that TruthRevolt will be closing up shop as of the end of today, Wednesday, March 7... Ben Shapiro and David Horowitz created TruthRevolt with a mission to expose the leftist news media and hold them accountable for their hypocrisy and bias. Launched in October 2013, it was not just a media watchdog, but a media bulldog. TruthRevolt sought to help loosen the leftist death grip on the organs of culture: the news media, academia, and entertainment. As the editor of TruthRevolt for nearly three years, I am proud of the fight we waged and grateful for the support of our readers and supporters.

Meet the Real Black Panthers, 

the Ones Hollywood Ignores 

by Trey Sanchez 

{ truthrevolt.org } ~ Before there was a group of black radicals in the ‘60s and long before there was a Hollywood blockbuster about... a fictional black superhero from a fictional Wakanda, there was the real Black Panthers — men who drove tanks and killed Nazis in World War II. A nice tribute to them appeared at the Daily Mail along with new photos that have surfaced. Officially, these black soldiers were known as the 761st tank battalion. They were nicknamed the Black Panthers because of an insignia of a panther’s head and the slogan, “Come Out Fighting.” According to the report, these men deployed onto Omaha beach on October, 10, 1944. They served in northern France, the Rhineland, and mainland Germany.

Judicial Watch Obtains Key 

Fast and Furious Information

by judicialwatch.org 

{ judicialwatch.org } ~ Judicial Watch announced today it received from the liar-nObama Department of Justice (DOJ) a “Vaughn index”... describing controversial Operation Fast and Furious records.  The document was produced as the result of a court order in the group’s September 2012 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. Department of Justice (No. 1:12-cv-01510)). Typically, a Vaughn index must: (1) identify each record withheld; (2) state the statutory exemption claimed; and (3) explain how disclosure would damage the interests protected by the claimed exemption.  A federal court had ordered the production over the objections of the liar-nObama DOJ. The document details the Attorney General scum-Holder’s personal involvement in managing the Justice Department’s strategy on media and Congressional investigations into the Fast and Furious scandal. Notably, the document discloses that emails between Attorney General scum-Holder and his wife Sharon Malone – and his mother – are being withheld under claims of executive privilege and the deliberative process privilege. This is the first time that the liar-nObama administration has provided a detailed listing of all records being withheld from Congress and the American people about the deadly Fast and Furious gun running scandal...   https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-obtains-key-fast-furious-information/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newslink&utm_term=members&utm_content=20180308154650

Biggest Driver of Inflation Is the Government

by Political Editors:  Much of the recent volatility in the stock market can be attributed to growing fears over the Federal Reserve enacting interest-rate hikes due to concerns over increasing inflation. On the subject of inflation, however, it is the government’s meddling in the market that tends to be the greatest contributor. Economist Mark Perry, who has tracked changing prices for over two decades, has noticed a common trend with the price of various goods and services — costs have increased over the inflation level for those goods and services that have lacked competition. This should be no surprise to conservatives.

          Specifically, those goods and services that have seen the greatest overall price increases are in the fields of medical and education-related services. And those two fields are most directly impacted by the government’s intervention in the marketplace, via subsidy and regulation. As the costs for health care and schooling only continue to increase, they in turn significantly impact the overall rate of inflation.
          As Investor’s Business Daily explains, “All that subsidy money was premised on the goal of making these things [health care and schooling] more affordable. The result is, for many, the exact opposite. By paying most of the tab, the government has insulated consumers from the true cost of these things — a recipe for runaway prices.”
          In short, much of the stock market’s current uneasiness can be laid directly at the feet of government for its work to limit competition, all in the name of making these goods and services more affordable. In the end, the American taxpayer is left footing the bill.

Gaetz – If Sessions Doesn’t Name 2nd 

Special Counsel, liar-CLINTON and 

DEEP STATE WILL GET AWAY With It 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ Lou Dobbs points out to his guest, Rep Matt Gaetz (R-FL), that the revelations about Australian politician Alexander Downer... and the supposed role he played in initiating the Russia collusion witch hunt are striking, but so is the delay in the FBI notifying Congress of the Downer’s $25 million relationship with the liar-Clinton Foundation. Once again foreign meddling in our election is ignored, this time meddling by the Australian government on behalf of liar-Hillary Clinton, by Robert Mueller. Mueller also ignored the liar-Clinton involvement in a scheme with Ukraine as well as the liar-Clinton-Russia connection. But he’s all over President Trump’s personal business records that have absolutely nothing to do with collusion. Downer is alleged to have engaged George Papadopoulos in a conversation that led to the fabricated Russia collusion witch hunt, but no mention was made by the FBI. It was exposed by journalists from The Hill, not through the honesty or integrity of the FBI... https://rickwells.us/sessions-clinton-deep-state/

Why Do American Christians Support Israel? 

by Dennis Prager 

{ cnsnews.com } ~ In speeches to fellow Jews around America, I often point out that many American Jews are experiencing cognitive dissonance... The institution Jews most admire—the university—turns out to be the most significant source of Israel hatred in America and the rest of the West. At the same time, the people many Jews most distrust—Christians especially evangelical and other conservative Christians—turn out to be the Jews’ and Israel’s best friends. Given that these two facts are undeniable, how do many American Jews deal with this dissonance? They largely ignore the Israel hatred on campuses, and they dismiss the authenticity of the Christian support. They dismiss it by denying it is genuine. Christians who support Israel, they and non-Jews on the left argue, do so for two deceptive reasons...

If CFIUS determines that the transaction poses national security concerns that cannot be resolved, it will refer the transaction to the President which the President has 15 days after completion of CFIUS’s investigation to decide. The President must publicly announce his decision. CFIUS provides an annual report to Congress, but the last report was dated 2015.

Why Antonin Scalia Still Matters 

by Todd Johnson:  This upcoming Sunday would have been Antonin Scalia’s 82nd birthday. In the two years since his untimely passing, his towering intellect and animated presence has been sorely missed on the Supreme Court — notwithstanding the good work of Neil Gorsuch. A legal titan, Scalia’s strict adherence to the concepts of textualism and originalism made his written opinions “must read” material for the conservative movement. Sadly, his passing silenced a significant voice in the judiciary, but thankfully, he left us with a voluminous amount of public speeches and opinions that should serve as a beacon to all Americans who believe in the conservative cause in 2018.

          Scalia devoted his life to the study of the law, and more importantly, the Constitution. A voracious reader throughout his life, Scalia learned that the creation of the Constitution was the result of compromise and, as he stated in a speech in 1991, “a spirit of humility.” His respect and admiration for its creators led him to view their product as “not living, but dead, or, as I prefer to call it, enduring. It means today not what current society, much less the court, thinks it ought to mean, but what it meant when it was adopted.”
          He was a firm believer that the role of the United States judiciary was to interpret laws, but not in a way that would usurp power from the legislative or executive branches.
          In an era where many people seek to denigrate the contributions of our Founding Fathers, Scalia’s lucid prose serves as a clarion call to truly understanding what makes our nation so unique and special. He challenged all of his fellow citizens to read and study The Federalist Papers because, “The Constitution will endure … only to the extent that it endures in your understanding and affection.”
          That is why Scalia was such a staunch advocate of an informed citizenry. He realized that the fate of the country was dependent upon the civic and moral education of its people. That’s why one of the main themes in many of his speeches was virtue.
          In the critically acclaimed book, Scalia Speaks: Reflections on Law, Faith, and Life Well Lived, the editors illuminate the late justice’s passion for education and advocacy for people to get involved in the political process. Scalia said that the limitations on democracy can only be defined by the people themselves, not a committee of judges. “And it is only the people themselves who can add or subtract from those limitations, through the amendment provision of the Constitution.”
          That is why it is imperative that Republican voters make the effort to campaign, as well as vote, in this fall’s upcoming election. The last mid-term election (2014) saw the lowest turnout rate in 70 years. Couple that with the fact that only twice since World War II has the minority party not picked up seats and you have a scenario where every vote will have a real impact on the future of our country.
          Justice Scalia believed that the future of the United States was only limited by the willingness of its people to get involved and make a difference. Out of the thousands of words that he composed during his lifetime there is one passage that truly captures the essence of his love for America:
          “It is a belief that seems particularly to beset modern society that believing deeply in something, and following that belief, is the most important a person can do. … I am here to tell you that it is much less important how committed you are than what you are committed to.”
          Only time will tell if conservatives will heed this call to action.   ~The Patriot Post

hanoi-John Kerry Involvement With

Steele Dossier Now Part of Investigation 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ The House Intelligence Committee is now investigating former Secretary of State hanoi-John Kerry’s possible connection with the Steele dossier... They have, for over a month now, been in the second phase of an investigation into the inception, construction and use of the dossier. It’s unlikely hanoi-Kerry was doing anything without liar-nObama’s full knowledge and approval, so it’s significant in more ways than one. Sara Carter reports that questions emerged in February about possible hanoi- Kerry involvement. That same month, a long-time hanoi- Kerry crony and former envoy to Libya named Jonathan Winer, wrote a preemptive defensive op-ed  in the Washington Post. In it Winer acknowledged his relationship with Steele and defending the dossier. Winer sounding as if he were responding to a prosecutor’s questions, attempting to remove potential explosive revelations and establish the narrative so all involved could get their stories straight.

by ART MOORE 

{ wnd.com } ~ Declaring their solidarity with the children of illegal immigrants, a prominent Muslim activist and several leaders of a U.S. front-organization for the Muslim Brotherhood... were among the people arrested Monday in a protest outside the office of House Speaker Paul Ryan in which they demanded a meeting to express their concerns.  Capitol Police led away in handcuffs Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, and two CAIR chapter leaders along with Linda Sarsour, the former executive director of the Arab American Association of New York, who drew national attention last year as co-chairman of the Women’s March... http://www.wnd.com/2018/03/top-muslim-leaders-arrested-at-speaker-ryans-office/

All Russiagate Roads Lead 

To liar-nObama Administration

by J.E. Dyer

{ lidblog.com } ~ The gun debate has taken over the airwaves in the last couple of weeks... but flying under the radar is a set of developments in the congressional “Russiagate” probes which, taken together, could turn a definitive klieg light on the critical period before the 2016 election, and the liar-nObama Administration. What the klieg light will illuminate is the coordinated operation within the liar-nObama administration that used the Steele dossier. The critical period runs from the very end of July to the end of October when the FBI applied for the FISA warrant for surveillance of Carter Page.  Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) on the House Intelligence Committee, and Senators Charles Grassley (R-IA) and rino-Lindsey Graham (R-SC), are separately pursuing information that would shed light on that period, and we’ll look at their queries in a moment...  https://lidblog.com/russiagate-roads-obama/

Palestinians: The Arabs Do Not Care about Us

by Khaled Abu Toameh

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ The Palestinian Authority (PA) has been working hard to persuade the Arab countries to support its position in the standoff with the US administration...The PA leadership in Ramallah fears that without the backing of the Arab countries, the US administration will "impose" President Donald Trump's "deal of the century" -- the yet-to-be-announced plan for peace in the Middle East. The Arab countries, however, appear to be preoccupied with other matters. For now, the Palestinians are getting much lip service from their Arab brothers, including promises to put pressure on the Trump administration possibly to "modify" its plan to make it less "harmful" to Palestinian demands and aspirations. What is actually happening is that the PA leadership is terrified that many of the Arab countries will support the Trump plan, thus abandoning their Palestinian brothers and leaving them exposed to international pressure to accept the "deal of the century." This fear does not seem to be unjustified...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11995/palestinians-arabs-apathy 

Trump DOJ sues California over 

'interference' with immigration enforcement

by Bill Mears

{ foxnews.com } ~ The Trump Justice Department filed a lawsuit Tuesday night against California... saying three recently-passed state laws were deliberately interfering with federal immigration policies. It marked the latest legal and political confrontation with the nation's most populous state, which the federal government says has repeatedly stood in the way of its plans to step up enforcement actions in the workplace and against criminal aliens. "The Department of Justice and the Trump Administration are going to fight these unjust, unfair, and unconstitutional policies," Attorney General Jeff Sessions was expected to tell California law enforcement officers on Wednesday. "We are fighting to make your jobs safer and to help you reduce crime in America."...   http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/06/trump-doj-sues-california-over-interference-with-immigration-enforcement.html

Hollywood's Self-Inflicted Ratings Deflation Continues 

by Thomas Gallatin:  Over the weekend, most of America missed watching the 90th Academy Awards. Put another way, this year the award show set the record for the lowest viewership ratings in Oscars history. In fact, total viewership dropped a whopping 20% from last year alone, continuing a downward trend for Hollywood’s premier awards show. Jimmy Kimmel, the hypocritical late-night talk-show host and leftist demagogue, hosted the award show for a second consecutive year and his polarizing presence certainly didn’t help matters.

          It was a surreal combination of Kimmel’s preaching to the choir and Hollywood stars’ virtue signaling their leftist dogma ad nauseam. They ignored their own blatant hypocrisy, all the while congratulating themselves on being the culturally “woke” arbitrators of morality — a nauseating recipe for unwatchable TV. So many Americans simply tuned out and chose to spend three hours Sunday evening engaged in less vacuous pursuits. Honestly, how many people will tolerate being told, “Do as we say, not as we do?”
          Following the show, James Woods, one of Hollywood’s few conservative actors, tweeted, “Sad. How can Hollywood stop itself from alienating its audience?” President Donald Trump had a more humorous take, tweeting, “Lowest rated Oscars in HISTORY. Problem is, we don’t have Stars anymore — except your President (just kidding, of course)!”
          The fact of the matter is that Hollywood has long been a bastion of the Left, propagating its fantasy so incessantly it has become an ideological and isolated echo-chamber that has completely lost touch with real life in America. These Hollywood elites blame their own glaring sins on the rest of America and supposedly backwards conservatives rather than turning introspectively and seriously examining how — maybe, just maybe — they are their own monster.   ~The Patriot Post

The Most Dangerous and Treacherous Times in U.S. History! (Part 65)-Posted on Tea Party Command Center-By Jake Martinez-On March 6, 2018:

The following recent thought-provoking article revealed that Special Counsel Robert Mueller recently subpoenaed emails from 10 members of President Trump’s inner circle and that this latest news seems to counter recent widespread speculation that Mueller was getting close to wrapping up his investigation, as it will likely take months to go through those emails, along with undermining the assertion that the investigation had turned from focusing on Trump, but it clearly hasn’t.

Also revealed that Judge Napolitano recently stated that Mueller’s grand juries “could go to the end of Trump’s term” and “So it’s looking more likely that the country and Trump will have to endure many more months, even years, of a continued cloud over this presidency."

Additionally, it also revealed that Gary Bauer recently observed, “Every day since the election, the Trump administration has been hobbled and hounded by a hostile media and a resistance movement fueled by the fantasy that Trump will be impeached because of collusion with Russia” and that “Every day that Mueller continues his investigation it continues distracting the administration and dividing our country-a victory for [Vladimir] Putin’s strategy,” which is just what the Democrats ordered.  If True-What’s wrong with this picture?-You Decide:

Mueller's Unending Investigation: ‘With more subpoenas issued, the investigation seems far from concluding’!-Posted on The Patriot Post-By Political Editors-On March 8, 2018:

Special Counsel Robert Mueller recently subpoenaed emails from 10 members of President Donald Trump’s inner circle. This latest news seems to counter recent widespread speculation that Mueller was getting close to wrapping up his investigation, as it will likely take months to go through those emails. It also undermines the assertion that the investigation had turned from focusing on Trump; it clearly hasn’t.

Judge Andrew Napolitano stated this week, “I believe he’s gearing up and the president remains in his crosshairs.” In fact, Napolitano noted, “There are actually three sets of legal crosshairs, so to speak. One seeks to determine whether the Trump campaign received ‘anything of value’ from any foreign national or foreign government, and whether Trump personally approved of it — a felony. Another inquiry seeks to determine whether the president himself attempted to obstruct the work of the Mueller grand juries by firing then-FBI Director James Comey for a corrupt reason, one that is self-serving and lacking a bona fide governmental purpose — also a felony. The third inquiry seeks to examine whether Trump misused or misrepresented corporate funds or bank loans in his pre-presidential life — another felony. On this last point, he has already been accused by Nunberg, and the grand jury no doubt will hear about it.”

The MSM conglomerates are the most prolific and insidious "fake news" propagators in the marketplace of ideas!-Posted on Tea Party Command Center-By Jake Martinez-On November 30, 2016:

http://teapartyorg.ning.com/profiles/blogs/the-msm-conglomerates-ar...

American sports fans have grown accustomed to the use of instant replay to correct the erroneous judgments of officials that cause game-changing inequities. The United States Senate must now pass the House’s legislative version of instant replay to correct a game changing “bad call” that threatens to permanently silence many local radio and television stations across the nation and harm the public thereby. 

On February 22, 2012, Congress signed P.L. 112-96, codified at 47 U.S.C.A. § 1452. That law, with the marvelously transparent and typically utopic Obama-era title of: “The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012,” among other things, contained Title VI, or the “Spectrum Act.” The Spectrum Act ambitiously seeks to resolve a long-festering broadcast frequency/spectrum crisis through reallocation of the existing frequencies assigned in the broadcast spectrum for television, radio, wireless communication, and public safety broadband networks on a nationwide basis.

These broadcast spectrum assignments often dated from the dawn of television network broadcasting. The broadcast frequency assigned to a broadcaster is valuable property and represents the “real estate” owned and occupied by the broadcast station as the place it does business. Washington bureaucrats unequivocally promised that no broadcaster’s signals or business would be negatively affected under the Spectrum Act because all broadcasters would simply receive a new spot on the MHz bandwidth.

The reallocation idea, a very good one in theory, was to establish a process for television broadcasters to release spectrum licensed to them for auction as commercial licenses to be “repacked” by the FCC for greater efficiency and for other more modern like high-speed wireless broadband.

The Spectrum Act’s “incentive auction” concluded on March 30, 2017. In total, the FCC repurposed 84 MHz of spectrum, yielding $19.8 billion in revenue, and more than $7 billion in clear governmental profit – by most measures, an overwhelming success.

However, Congress did make one bad call – an unintended oversight – in the early innings that have made a win, or even sustained survival, nearly impossible for some broadcasters. Structural upgrades on TV towers will necessitate spending on renovations and has forced affected broadcasters to look for new channel assignments – a task that must be completed thirty-nine months from the auction close date, e.g., June 30, 2020.  In 2012, Congress anticipated these costs, or presumed they did, and earmarked “$1,750,000,000 of the proceeds from the incentive auction of broadcast television spectrum …. shall be deposited in the TV Broadcaster Relocation Fund”, see 47 U.S.C. §309(j)(8)(G)(ii)(I).

Unfortunately, many broadcasters – most of them small, rural, and local - are in danger of losing a significant amount of their audience reach because the auction and repacking failed to contemplate the full financial impact of the Spectrum Act on the low-power television stations, as well as the over 600 AM and FM radio stations that co-locate their antennas.

A total of 175 television broadcast stations participated in the auction, but over 950 TV stations did not put their spectrum up for bid and are nonetheless still forced to relocate to new channel frequencies. Therefore, while 85% of these broadcasters did not “sell” their frequencies, the government took them and must be liable to protect their ability to broadcast. As for radio stations, they have received nothing and will not receive a thin dime under the Spectrum Act as written. As a result, the Spectrum Act has the potential to silence many consumers’ local radio broadcasts and blackout or substantially limit 85% of the noted local television broadcasts.

Now, it is up to Congress to use a legislative “instant replay” to correct the missed call that if unchanged will unfairly cause game-changing social, financial and cultural losses. This week, The House of Representatives already approved this legislative remedy under H.R. 4986, RAY BAUM’s Act. Now, the Senate just needs to get on board. If they need any convincing, they should consider the constitutional implications of this decision.

The Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides that private property shall not “be taken for public use, without just compensation.” As the Constitution’s text makes clear, the Takings Clause does not prohibit the government’s taking of private property, but instead places a payment condition of “just compensation” on the exercise of that power.  Lawsuits involving the Takings Clause are called eminent domain actions. The overriding principal of eminent domain is the constitutional philosophy that the government shall not force individuals to bear public burdens which should be borne by the public as a whole. That guiding principle fits the disparate impact suffered by radio and television broadcasters via  the Spectrum Act like a glove.

Some argue that the eminent domain causes of action for deprivations of broadband frequencies are not fully assured due to clauses within the Communications Act of 1934. However, the broadcast licenses at issue have the two primary hallmarks of property: transferability and exclusivity. Therefore, a very strong argument can be made that the Spectrum Act, if left uncorrected, constitutes an unconstitutional regulatory taking under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

It is manifestly clear that those silenced and bedarkened broadcasters that do not receive sufficient amounts from the reserved relocation funds are being forced to bear the public burdens of reallocation of the broadcast spectrum which, in all fairness and justice, should be borne by the public as a whole.

Additionally, license renewal is admitted by the FCC to be routine and perfunctory. Therefore, the expectation of continued use of the assigned broadcast frequency creates an expectation interest in the frequency assignment that is treated like property. As it is, the broadcasts are pledged as collateral and supported by extensive investment in manpower, advertising, customer goodwill, equipment, programming, and content to create profits, all of which would disappear if the assigned broadcast frequency is taken.

The assigned broadcast frequency is a tangible “thing”; an electromagnetic space that is occupied exclusively by a broadcaster. In that regard, it is no less of a protectible property than land, home, water, farm, factory, or grove. Regardless, the Supreme Court has long recognized that intangibles can be property subject to the Takings Clause.

Finally, an eminent domain action may be preserved based upon the “unconstitutional conditions doctrine” established by the United States Supreme Court in property development cases. The unconstitutional conditions doctrine holds that “the government may not deny a benefit to a person because he exercises a constitutional right”. In this case, the requirement of alleged waiver of property rights by the broadcaster in application of the right to receive a broadcast frequency would arguably be violative of the Nollan/Dolan doctrine, named after two U.S. Supreme Court decisions which hold that the Government cannot pressure a person or business into voluntarily giving up property rights for which the Fifth Amendment would otherwise require just compensation in exchange for a license or permit.

Left without an adequate legislative remedy for this “blown call” in the Spectrum Act, affected broadcasters would be forced to seek judicial remedies. These potential lawsuits would involve not only eminent domain claims arising under the Fifth Amendment Takings Clause but claims for denial of Equal Protection, potential Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act claims, as well as potential breach of contract, quasi-contract and tortious interference claims.

This is an important scenario to keep in mind because, if successful, these litigants harmed by the Spectrum Act would stand to recover damages for future lost profits, business expectations and other damages that would far exceed the relocation costs denied them by the inadequate reserves. Additionally, attorneys’ fees, interest and potentially other damages may be available that would dwarf the relatively microscopic costs of fixing the myopic bad judgment call of the 2012 Congress.

We, the people, are the home team in this dispute. Thankfully, Congress has very recently shown promising signs of moving forward in unison to correct their error. As the home team, let us not rest until the umpire (Congress) gets the call right and fixes the game changing short-sighted error that may cause the broadcast stadiums to go dark and the microphones to fall silent. 

An explosion of litigation to fix the wrong is not a better “fix”. It will be harmful to the general public if the broadcasters fail in their quest for damages in the stead of Congressional action or if they fail and the broadcast landscape becomes barren, silent, and dark. Neither scenario provides a winner., The only winning scenario is if Congress revisits the one oversight it had in this otherwise commendable, pro-consumer incentive auction and rectifies its currently unfunded government mandate.
