What you won't hear on Trump's UN speech

NOTEWhen writing about God and Jesus, The Daily Jot means YHVH as God and Yeshua Ha Mashiach as Jesus--the actual original names and the true nature and character of them.
  
Wednesday, September 20, 2017
The news media is spending its time blasting President Donald Trump over his speech to the United Nations. The media is once again trying to influence the masses with a very narrow and biased narrative against Trump. It seems these days that it doesn't matter what he does, there are those who will twist and fit his words into their own agendas. The talking heads on CNN, MSNBC and other mouthpieces for the loyal, if not misguided, opposition, said Trump's speech lacked "coherence" and was "foolish." These are the talking points of the leftists. But what did Trump really say? Can anyone know from watching the mainstream news? Of course, the answer is no. So if you want to know, here are some excerpts.
 
On America's sovereignty: "As President of the United States, I will always put America first, just like you, as the leaders of your countries will always, and should always, put your countries first. All responsible leaders have an obligation to serve their own citizens, and the nation-state remains the best vehicle for elevating the human condition. But making a better life for our people also requires us to work together in close harmony and unity to create a more safe and peaceful future for all people. The United States will forever be a great friend to the world, and especially to its allies.  But we can no longer be taken advantage of, or enter into a one-sided deal where the United States gets nothing in return.  As long as I hold this office, I will defend America's interests above all else."
 
On Islamic terrorism: "In Saudi Arabia early last year, I was greatly honored to address the leaders of more than 50 Arab and Muslim nations.  We agreed that all responsible nations must work together to confront terrorists and the Islamist extremism that inspires them. We will stop radical Islamic terrorism because we cannot allow it to tear up our nation, and indeed to tear up the entire world. We must deny the terrorists safe haven, transit, funding, and any form of support for their vile and sinister ideology.  We must drive them out of our nations.  It is time to expose and hold responsible those countries who support and finance terror groups like al Qaeda, Hezbollah, the Taliban and others that slaughter innocent people."
 
On communism: "The problem in Venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented, but that socialism has been faithfully implemented.   From the Soviet Union to Cuba to Venezuela, wherever true socialism or communism has been adopted, it has delivered anguish and devastation and failure.  Those who preach the tenets of these discredited ideologies only contribute to the continued suffering of the people who live under these cruel systems. America stands with every person living under a brutal regime.  Our respect for sovereignty is also a call for action.  All people deserve a government that cares for their safety, their interests, and their wellbeing, including their prosperity."
 
On America being a force for good: "The United States of America has been among the greatest forces for good in the history of the world, and the greatest defenders of sovereignty, security, and prosperity for all. Now we are calling for a great reawakening of nations, for the revival of their spirits, their pride, their people, and their patriotism." There are many who wish to tear down and remake our nation and each individual living in it, into a vessel for totalitarianism. This comes in many forms-socialism, communism, anarchy, Islam, fascism. Let us remember, even in Trump's last words calling on God to bless America, Galatians 5:1, "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage." Totalitarian entities are the absence of Christ. Without Christ, there is no freedom.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Muslim leader and followers publish “dead or alive” wanted notice for President Trump


35

Like me, President Trump has a fatwa on his head. The death threat, provided to Newsweek by the jihadi monitoring site Jihadoscope, says Trump should be targeted for his “crimes against Islam.” “It is clear that Trump is waging this war only for his hatred of Muslims,” it says. “You will never be victorious, you will be defeated.” The statement repeats the Taliban phrase that Afghanistan will become a “graveyard” for American troops.

In the video, Muslim leader Ayman al-Zawahiri urges warring Muslims to accept the Taliban as their ruling organization.

Obama resurrected the Taliban and made them a force to be reckoned with.

 

Obama declared that the vicious bloodthirsty Taliban were to be his partners in peace. But of course, they were having none of it. They are on the vanguard of the tsunami of Islamic supremacist movements that Obama empowered, armed and supported. Their resurrection, after Bush decimated them, is Obama’s legacy.

The U.S. State Department reported that in the last 10 years, under President Obama’s watch – after the United States invaded and ousted the Taliban from leadership – religious freedom has plunged and every single Christian church has been removed from the country.

Obama laid down our weapons (even though he campaigned on fighting in Afghanistan, “the good war”), and as a result, the Taliban control large parts of Afghanistan. Bill Roggio, the editor of The Long War Journal, reports that one-fifth of the country is controlled or contested by the Taliban, but he emphasized that this was a conservative estimate. “They probably either control or heavily influence about a half of the country,” he said.

I submit that Afghanistan is one of Obama’s top failures (or perhaps in his mind, his greatest success). And there are a great many failures competing for the top spot — Syria, Iraq, Libya, Russia, Israel, Egypt, ISIS, jihad at home …..

This is the catastrophic reality — the result of Obama’s support of Islamic supremacist ascendancy across the world. And now Obama’s Afghan partners are selling the Taliban US military weaponry. This has been going on since 2009 and the Obama administration did nothing about it.

‘Tomorrow we take the White House,’ Taliban fighter

Back in December 2014, President Obama continued to lie to the American people, and vowed that Afghanistan would not be a source of terrorist attacks in the future.

Obama has been unflinching in his support for the Taliban. For example, Obama knew that an Afghan colonel was paid $250,000 to kill US Air Force personnel. His DoD covered it up. And still he continued to support the  Taliban — despite the slaughter, the insider attacks, the destruction of schools, the attacks on girls, etc. He strong-armed President Karzai into partnering with them. He insisted that Karzai share power with the Taliban. He insisted that NATO recognize the Taliban.

‘Dead or Alive’: President Trump Appears on Al-Qaeda Wanted Notice

Newsweek, September 18, 2017:

Al-Qaeda has had a resurgence online in recent months, using the heir of the group’s late leader Osama bin Laden—his son Hamza—as a propaganda pawn whose family lineage boosts its image. Now, Al-Qaeda’s supporters are using another notable name to attract attention: President Donald Trump.

On Tuesday, the Al-Hijrah media group, marked by a green logo and active for only the past several months, released a wanted notice for the U.S. president, calling for his capture “dead or alive.”

The notice, provided to Newsweek by the jihadi monitoring site Jihadoscope, says Trump should be targeted for his “crimes against Islam.” It says he is sought for “treason, murder, injustice, kidnapping, massacre, extremism, negligence, hate.”

The release came a week after the jihadi channel warned it would have “a message to Trump and the people of America coming soon.”

Tuesday’s release also includes a message that pointed to Trump’s decision to expand U.S. military presence in Afghanistan.

“Trump is talking about winning in Afghanistan. And you Americans what do you think? Do you not know history?” it reads, referring to the failure of the Bush and Obama administrations to defeat the Taliban mujahedeen, Arabic for holy warriors.

“It is clear that Trump is waging this war only for his hatred of Muslims,” it says. “You will never be victorious, you will be defeated.” The statement repeats the Taliban phrase that Afghanistan will become a “graveyard” for American troops.

The Taliban is the most prominent insurgent group in the country, and Al-Qaeda is allied with it. Both are vying for influence against a growing Islamic State militant group (ISIS) affiliate in the country.

Al-Qaeda has long been an adversary of the U.S., claiming the deadliest attacks on U.S. soil, the 9/11 hijackings that killed almost 3,000 people in 2001.

The jihadi group’s grievances with the U.S. stem from a hatred of democracy and the Western world, but it has long listed American foreign policy as its main justification for violence against civilian and military targets. The U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 gave birth to Al-Qaeda in Iraq, an insurgency that left a bloody trail across the country for occupying Western forces.

President Donald Trump is seen in a wanted notice posted by Al-Qaeda supporters that call for his targeting over “crimes against Islam.”
AL-HIJRAH MEDIA

That group would later develop and split into what is now ISIS, the target of a U.S.-led coalition of air forces that is bombing the militant group in Iraq and Syria. The U.S. is also conducting drone campaigns against Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Shabab in Somalia and Al-Qaeda’s most powerful wing, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

Trump, throughout his presidential campaign and first months as president, has pledged to go to war on “radical Islamic terrorism.” He has given U.S. commanders greater remit to conduct airstrikes in the Middle East and has put forward a travel ban on seven Muslim-majority nations, a decision that community leaders have suggested will alienate young, disenfranchised Muslims in the U.S. who could sympathize with Al-Qaeda and ISIS propaganda.

But Trump’s war on radical Islamism energized his base of support, and the real threat that extremist groups pose to the president is low because of the resources of the U.S. security services. The wanted notice is less a meaningful threat and more likely an attempt to drum up support among potential supporters in line with the group’s recent recruitment drive.

Using Hamza bin Laden, Al-Qaeda has attempted to rally support for its cause after losing influence to ISIS during the so-called caliphate’s rise from mid-2014 onward. However, ISIS has suffered a series of battlefield losses that have greatly reduced the territory it holds.

In May, Al-Qaeda’s propaganda arm As-Sahab released an English- and Arabic-language audio message from Hamza giving “advice” to “martyrdom seekers in the West.” He mentions conflicts across the Middle East, particularly in support of Sunni Muslims in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and the West Bank and Gaza Strip, to inspire supporters.

“Be perfect in your choice of targets, so that you may damage your enemies more,” he said. “Be professional in your choice of weapons. It is not necessary that it should be a military tool. If you are able to pick a firearm, well and good; if not, the options are many.”

As Al-Qaeda continues to put out more propaganda, a report released late Monday showed Americans and non-Americans based in the U.S. were some of the most frequent consumers of radical Islamist material, behind only Turkey, and ahead of Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Britain. The report, entitled “The New Netwar,” collected data between February 19 and May 3 that showed the U.S. with 10,388 clicks on jihadi propaganda, followed by Saudi Arabia (10,239), Iraq (8,138) and Britain (6,107).

Trump Suggests He Could Pull Out of Iran Deal

Trump Suggests He Could Pull Out of Iran Deal

President Donald Trump said Monday at the U.N. that he will be making a decision regarding whether to scrap the Iran nuclear deal “very soon.”

Trump’s comments to reporters came as he sat down for a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who strongly opposes the Obama administration-championed international agreement.

According to the terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the United States must certify in October whether Iran is in compliance with the deal.

Asked by a reporter whether he plans to keep the U.S. in the agreement, Trump responded, “You’ll see very soon.”

In an address before a joint session of Congress in 2015, Netanyahu contended that the deal “doesn’t block Iran’s path to the bomb, it paves Iran’s path to the bomb.”

While aboard Air Force One on Thursday, Trump restated his disapproval of the agreement’s terms, a view he expressed multiple times as a presidential candidate.

“But I will say this, the Iran deal is one of the worst deals I’ve ever seen, certainly at a minimum the spirit of the deal is just atrociously kept. But the Iran deal is not a fair deal to this country. It’s a deal that should have never ever been made. And you’ll see what we’re doing in a couple of weeks,” he said of his decision regarding American participation in the agreement.

Trump added that Iran has “violated so many different elements” of the deal and the United States is “not going to stand for what they (Iran) are doing.”

“Every 90 days, the U.S. President must certify to Congress that Iran is keeping up its end of the deal,” CNN reported. “If Iran doesn’t comply, US, European Union, and UN nuclear-related sanctions on the Iranian economy would be reinstated.”

Last fall, the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency found that the Islamic Republic produced too much heavy water, a material which is used to cool reactors that produce plutonium.

In February, Iran conducted ballistic missiles tests, which, while they were not in violation of the nuclear deal, did violate a U.N. resolution passed just days after the agreement was signed.

Iran is “called upon not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons, including launches using such ballistic missile technology,” according to the text of the resolution.

Iran argued that the missiles could not carry nuclear weapons.

After Trump’s Monday comments at the U.N., Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told CNN the U.S. would pay a price if it pulls out of the agreement.

“Exiting such an agreement would carry a high cost for the United States of America, and I do not believe Americans would be willing to pay such a high cost for something that will be useless for them,” he said.

“Given that Mr. Trump’s actions and reactions and policies are somewhat unpredictable, we have thought long and hard about our reactions,” Rouhani added.

He said any response from Iran would come “quite swiftly” and “probably within a week,” adding that “if the US wants to increase the tensions it will see the reaction from Iran.” (For more from the author of “Trump Suggests He Could Pull Out of Iran Deal” please click HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/09/trump-suggests-pull-iran-deal/

Common Household Item is Now Considered ‘Racist’

By Chelsea Schilling. Who knew! Those fluffy white cotton balls on display in your favorite floral arrangement or in your bathroom cabinet?

They just might be r-a-a-a-c-i-s-t!

At least some people in Texas and Tennessee apparently think so.

On Sept. 14, Daniell Rider, a black woman from Killeen, Texas, ripped into the Hobby Lobby craft chain when she spotted raw cotton on its shelves.

“This decor is WRONG on SO many levels,” Rider said in a post on Hobby Lobby’s Facebook page. “There is nothing decorative about raw cotton … A commodity which was gained at the expense of African-American slaves.” (Read more from “Common Household Item Is Now Considered ‘Racist'” HERE) http://www.wnd.com/2017/09/racist-america-goes-bonkers-over-cotton-balls/

____________________________________

Texas Woman Claims Hobby Lobby’s Cotton Stalks Are Racist, Defenders Push Back

By Fernando Alfonso III. [Daniell] Rider’s comment, and photo of the cotton, inspired thousands of comments on other Hobby Lobby Facebook posts, many of which were from people defending the store.

“People are too sensitive,” Pam Asbridge Reeder commented Saturday afternoon. “My mother picked cotton in Alabama as a young child. We are white as rice !! Get over yourself Daniell Rider. If it wasn’t for that cotton, you might just be stuck in Africa without the opportunities or privileges you have as an American. Did you EVER think about that? Not all slave owners were bad just as not all whites are bad. Some slave owners actually deeded land and homes to slaves and their families.”

Hobby Lobby is still selling the cotton stems on its website, where they have been marked down from 29.99 to $15.

High School Bans American Flags – the Reason Why Will Surprise You

Administrators at a public high school in New Hampshire have banned students from using American flags as props or clothing at a forthcoming pep rally because the administrators are concerned that students will treat the flag disrespectfully.

The site of the flag fracas is Londonderry High School, reports local ABC affiliate WMUR-TV.

A couple dozen Londonderry High student athletes who will organize the pep rally received letters describing the event’s rules last week. Most of the rules were standard fare: no insults about opposing teams, not getting naked — that kind of thing.

The students who received the letter did notice the added rule about the U.S. flag. The rule read: “No use of the American flag. Do not wear, carry, present the American flag on the floor.” (Read more from “High School Bans American Flags – the Reason Why Will Surprise You” HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/09/high-school-bans-american-flags/

Clinton Moved $800,000 From Her Campaign to Help Fund Antifa

Hillary Clinton — the same Hillary Clinton who spent her campaign months talking up the dangers of “dark money” in politics — was just outed for moving about $800,000 of the cash stashed for her presidential run to antifa groups.

Hillary Clinton cash has been used to fund groups like antifa, a new report reveals.

Pardon, Ms. Clinton, the bluntness of the question. But isn’t that “dark money?”

Apparently, Clinton’s been busy using her “Onward Together” Super-PAC dough to back resistance movements around the United States.

The Gateway Pundit has more:

In building investigations, Daily Caller first discovered that Hillary transferred a mass sum of money from her campaign over to Onward Together:

Clinton transferred $800,000 from her failed 2016 presidential campaign to Onward Together shortly before announcing the group’s launch in May, documents the campaign filed with the FEC reveal.

Now, today, it has been revealed by Offended America exactly where that money is going:

Daily Caller reached out to five different Antifa linked groups, and only one was willing to deny donations from Onward Together. Soros-linked group, Indivisible, denied receiving financial support from Clinton or Onward Together.

“Onward Together has not given any financial support to us,” Helen Kalla, an Indivisible spokesperson, wrote to Daily Caller.

Kalla added that Clinton’s group has “been amplifying and highlighting our work through their digital networks,” which she explained has consisted of “retweeting [Indivisible], and they’ve highlighted our work via their emails to their list too.”

According to Federal Election Commission documents, Hillary Clinton transferred $800,000 from her failed political campaign “Hillary for America” to her new Super-PAC “Onward Together”, before she announced the existence of the PAC in May, 2017.

Amid other disturbing details, it’s now been revealed that “Onward Together” is a 501(c)4 “Social Welfare” organization, which means that it’s not required to disclose many of the details of its operations to the public or disclose who its donors are.

By receiving campaign funds, and then furnishing the funds to Antifa terrorist groups, Clinton may have implicated many of her supported in a crime.

Hillary Clinton, now too old to run for office, will go back to doing what she’s always done best, round up money from anonymous sources, and then use that money to influence elections and peddle power.

It Must Be Time for Another 'Russian 
Collusion' Story

by Nate Jackson:  President Donald Trump has had a few pretty good weeks. His response to two major hurricanes was laudable, however badly that disappointed a Leftmedia ready to pounce a la George W. Bush and Hurricane Katrina. His new chief of staff, John Kelly, appears to be running a tight ship at the White House. Trump even worked across the aisle with a deal on the debt ceiling — at least the press was good, even if Republicans were jilted.

          Thus, combined with last week’s release of liar-Hillary Clinton’s pathetic blame-everybody-else book, the timing is perfect to turn attention back to … what else? Russia.
          Think we’re paranoid about the timing? Back in July, Julie Pace, the liberal Washington bureau chief for the Associated Press, observed quizzically, “Every time [Trump and his administration] feel like they found their footing, every time they feel like they’ve had a positive message, something on the Russia investigation overtakes it.”
          According to a New York Times scoop, Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, may be facing criminal charges as a result of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe. The Times says this relates to possible “violations of tax laws, money-laundering prohibitions and requirements to disclose foreign lobbying.” These may or may not have anything to do with Manafort’s relationship to Trump, and it may or may not have anything to do with the raid on his house in July.
          Which brings us to yesterday’s second story. CNN reports that James Comey’s FBI was surveilling Manafort before and after the 2016 election, and may have recorded conversations with Trump last year. It isn’t clear if Manafort was being surveilled while he was serving as Trump’s campaign manager. Either way, it lends a little credence to Trump’s charge that Barack liar-nObama “had my wires tapped.”
          There are two things to keep in mind here. First, neither of these stories is the “bombshell” the Times or CNN hope, though it’s true surveilling Manafort would have required some reasonable suspicion countenanced by a FISA court. He may be innocent, or he may not be. Second, and far more important, is as Mark Alexander wrote in July: The most perilous domestic threat to American Liberty is the collusion between Democrats and their mainstream media partisans. What did the Times and CNN know, and when did they know it? How long have they been sitting on what amounts to pretty useless information, meant solely to put Russia back in the headlines and keep Trump on the ropes?

{rickwells.us} ~ Globalist George Soros owns the Democrat Party and its leadership. His network of radical anti-American organizations works in concert with the Democrats to impose his agenda on our nation... to erode our liberty and degrade the quality of our future. He’s ramping up the agitation, as was just demonstrated by a group of his operatives attacking his operative Nancy Pulosi. She and Chuck clown-Schumer made the framework of a deal that should have Soros and his fellow globalist manipulators celebrating. But it’s not good enough. He wants total open borders and Pulosi was willing to accept some enforcement. Soros is demanding that congressional Democrats oppose and obstruct any measures which permit immigration law enforcement, even if they include “Dreamer” amnesty. The Daily Caller reports that the Soros radical group “Indivisible,” which is notorious for disrupting Republican town halls, is partnering with his other front groups, the National Immigration Law Center and United We Dream to put more pressure on all congressional Democrats...  https://rickwells.us/soros-democrats-us-borders/

The emails contain new examples of the liar-Clinton Foundation requesting and receiving State Department favors, plus more cases of classified information being sent through unsecure, non-state.gov accounts... http://nypost.com/2017/09/17/heres-more-evidence-team-hillary-tried-to-destroy/

Former President liar-nObama 
Costs Taxpayers $1 Million a Year

Republican Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa
by patrioticviralnews.com
Were you aware that your taxpayer dollars are footing the bill for former President liar-nObama’s private offices, his IT costs, his cell phone bills and other perks? Together with liar-nObama’s $236,000 per year pension, plus 24/7/365 Secret Service protection for him and Michelle even when they’re separated, liar-nObama is costing the U.S. government more than $1 million per year — more than any other living ex-president. This is despite the fact that since leaving office, he’s signed a $60 million deal for his memoirs and received $800,000 for just two speeches.

Is this a colossal waste of money, or what?

While it’s standard for the U.S. to afford Secret Service security for all former presidents for the remainder of their lifetimes as well as a pension, the additional perks that the liar-nObama family receive are just a case of throwing good money after bad.

Making matters worse, since liar-nObama left office, he’s purchased an 8,000 square-foot mansion surrounded by high walls in the ritzy Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, from which he’s running a “shadow government” whose function is to destroy, resist and obstruct the Trump administration at every turn. Some people even say the entire FBI is still under liar-nObama’s control, due to lower-level administrative “holdovers” at the Bureau.

And this is when liar-nObama isn’t flying around the world meeting with prime ministers and presidents of other nations, sometimes within hours or days before or after they’ve met with President Trump. If political-watchers didn’t know better, they might be convinced that liar-nObama still thinks he’s the president of the country.

As Republican Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa explains to Fox’s Stuart Varney in this clip, these costs are absolutely ridiculous given that the national debt is now more than $20 trillion. Watch as Ernst explains what she wants to do to cut this spending and help get more of President Trump’s MAGA agenda items enacted.

The National Debt: Gradual, Then

Trump Condemns Racism, but Here's the 
Real Problem
H0xahohipGjbxrW71hNdaVSNK2vJGTWZXpmyr3u1PXkNT9qDBtM2TiK7NDcblWGm_P85BDZvXJirWocLWklOsYvKwxur8i06s3qOs8OoL9dQzgTnbdvDCvHd9nKOuSc=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=500by Political Editors:  Donald Trump signed a resolution condemning racism Thursday. Trump said, “As Americans, we condemn the recent violence in Charlottesville and oppose hatred, bigotry and racism in all forms.” He continued, “No matter the color of our skin or our ethnic heritage, we all live under the same laws, we all salute the same great flag, and we are all made by the same almighty God. We are a Nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. As one people, let us move forward to rediscover the bonds of love and loyalty that bring us together as Americans.” Sounds pretty much like his Inaugural Address.

          Trump’s statement came on the heels of a one-on-one meeting with Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), the only black Republican senator. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the problem of race relations and possible solutions to help bring about greater unity in the nation. After the meeting, Scott, who was critical of Trump’s response to the Charlottesville violence, said via a spokesman that he “was very, very clear [with Trump] about the brutal history surrounding the white supremacist movement and their horrific treatment of black and other minority groups.” Moreover, “Rome wasn’t built in a day, and to expect the President’s rhetoric to change based on one 30-minute conversation is unrealistic. Antifa is bad and should be condemned, yes, but white supremacists have been killing and tormenting black Americans for centuries. There is no realistic comparison. Period.”
          The difficulty with the issue of race in America today is the often convoluted nature by which it is both understood and discussed. Scott is absolutely correct about the past history of white supremacy and the evil it inflicted on blacks. But it is also true that today white supremacist groups like the KKK and Neo-Nazis represent the extreme fringe within America — they have no political power and they have been soundly rejected by the vast majority of Americans for decades now. Those few individuals who cling to the racial hatred espoused by these groups are essentially living in a fantasyland of a bygone era.
          However, what Scott seems to be missing or maybe too easily dismissing is the larger and growing real threat to Liberty. That threat is the rise and growing appeal of extreme leftist groups like antifa. There is no question that antifa advocates using violence and justifies its violence by labeling those it attacks as fascists and Nazis, gross irony notwithstanding. Couple that with the fact that antifa explicitly calls for the silencing and suppression of free speech rights and Americans should rightly be concerned. But what makes antifa currently the greater threat than these fringe white supremacist groups from yesteryear has been a sympathetic mainstream media that has been all too willing to overlook or excuse antifa’s violent rhetoric and actions.
          When ethnicity is conflated with political ideology the result is a virulent form of identity politics that so demonizes the “other side” that it is unable to hear, let alone consider, opposing ideas or opinions. Identifying with and protecting the group or tribe is prized above all other values. Individual identities and opinions are overshadowed and subordinated by the collectivist group identity. This is where faulty concepts like “white privilege” or “micro aggression” originate. No longer are individuals judged by their own words and actions, but by their tribal identity. The irony with groups like antifa or Black Lives Matter is that they practice the very things they claim to be fighting against.
          The rioting over the weekend in St. Louis following the acquittal of a police officer in the shooting death of a black man attests, once again, to this problem of conflating a political agenda with racism. Over the last eight years, Barack liar-nObama lowered the bar for civil unrest and racial discord. And that’s the nice way of putting it. The consequences of that are what we’re now witnessing across the country.
          As Morgan Freeman once said, the best way to deal with racism is to “stop talking about it.” The reality is that most Americans aren’t racists. Like a scab, the more it’s picked at the more it bleeds and the longer it takes to heal. We’ve been picking at this scab for so long now, one would think that slavery is still happening today in America.                          ~The Patriot Post

Carlson's guest was Mike Isaacson -- professor of economics at John Jay College well, former professor at John Jay -- but more on that later, a founder of the Antifa group Smash Racism D.C., and self-described "antifascist." Isaacson presented himself in such a bizarre fashion, from his appearance to his manic speech, that a suspicious Carlson even paused to ask, "Are you really a professor, by the way?"... http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/tucker-carlson-takes-anti-cop-professor-and-antifa-founder

The National Debt: Gradual, Then 
Sudden Catastrophe
SNwHxPT6WH8YfdUEGkBkvR6jv2gdhUOgHG8uSsTw6OKcrBN3Qvw6UdxZBbZWTzqhf9jH-9mlqBWFOrF5bz6bua9cU6xHH3I2UT3Wa9x3E83pCf57K99Xu3cviFoMCJs=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=500by Arnold Ahlert:  The national debt has officially topped $20 trillion. And in an era where “bipartisanship” is almost a dirty word, both parties deserve ample amounts of “credit” for facilitating the nation’s steady march toward fiscal Armageddon.

          During the eight years of George W. Bush’s administration, the nation racked up nearly $5 trillion of additional debt, with the phrase “compassionate conservatism” used to justify the record-setting recklessness. Yet like a one-two knockout punch from a heavyweight slugger, the Bush administration’s record as the most spendthrift administration in history was quickly broken by Barack liar-nObama’s administration that nearly “doubled down” on the insanity, adding another $9.3 trillion dollars to the nation’s almost unfathomable pile of IOUs.
          Actually, $20 trillion is a bit misleading. Right after Trump signed a deal with Democrats to raise the debt ceiling — as a tradeoff for getting $15 billion in hurricane and disaster recovery aid — the debt rose by $318 billion, pushing the actual total to $20.1 trillion.
          Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of Americans pay almost no attention to this unfolding disaster.
          Perhaps that’s inevitable in a nation where many younger Americans are mis-educated enough to need computers to calculate even the simplest math problems, many older Americans are cynical enough to believe they will be gone before the real devastation begins, and many Americans of every generation are so inured to the entitlement mentality that even the most stalwart politicians are hesitant to embrace the statesmanship necessary to set things right.
          Regrettably, we also have a statesmanship deficit every bit as onerous as our debt — if not more so.
          Yet nothing less is required to acknowledge that Medicare, Medicaid, liar-nObamaCare, and Social Security, which consumed 52% of all tax dollars in FY2016, need serious reform.
          Why? “Mandatory” spending consumes 65% of the federal budget. “Discretionary” spending consumes 29% of it. The above entitlements are on the mandatory side of the ledger, meaning they run on “autopilot” — as in the agencies running them are authorized by law to spend whatever is necessary to keep them going.
          Coupled with the interest on the current debt, which consumes just over 6% of federal spending, these programs will account for 83% of projected spending growth over the next 10 years. And absent reform, spending on health care programs, Social Security and net interest on the national debt — as in no reduction whatsoever of the debt itself — will consume all federal tax revenues by 2033.
          How difficult is reform? During the 2012 election campaign, then-vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan attempted to introduce a budget proposal that addressed these spending drivers. A group called the Agenda Project Action Fund promptly ran an ad depicting a Ryan-like figure pushing a grandmother in a wheelchair over a cliff.
          That’s the level of “intellectualism” that inevitably informs any discussion of fiscal reform.
           Then there’s baseline budgeting, a concept that virtually assures Congress will continue to spend more money than it takes in. That’s because baseline budgeting includes automatic spending adjustments engendered by inflation, along with anticipated increases in the number of people participating in a particular program. And since inflation is a virtual constant, and the number of people participating in many programs is increasing, the overwhelming majority of those spending “adjustments” are headed upwards.
          Nonetheless, our oh-so-clever political class, aided and abetted by the media, play a cunning game with a largely uninformed public. If an agency’s budget is projected to grow by $50 million, but only grows by $30 million, we are told that agency sustained a $20 million cut in spending. This bit of fiscal trickery allows so-called budget hawks to claim they are “restraining” spending, while the budget chickens bemoan the effort to balance the budget “on the backs of vulnerable Americans.” Both groups are lying with impunity.
          Just as infuriating, if not more so, is the Kabuki theater surrounding the aforementioned debt ceiling. Every time the nation bumps up against this artificially imposed spending limit, we are regaled with tales of impending horror, lest we don’t raise it to pay for obligations we have already incurred. After a round of orchestrated Ruling Class hand-wringing, the federal government then raises the debt ceiling, and promptly goes back to spending more many than it takes in — until we reach the next debt ceiling.
           What are some “experts” suggesting we do to “fix” the problem? “A debt limit that is never followed is worthless to have,” states CNBC.
          It’s even more worthless to continue spending money we don’t have with impunity. Unless the federal government embraces serious and genuine spending cuts, all we are doing is postponing the inevitable arrival of national bankruptcy.
          Yet there are those who insist the inevitable will never happen, largely because the U.S. dollar remains the world’s reserve currency, meaning it’s accepted for trade all over the world, based primarily on the strength of the U.S. economy. Moreover, in times of economic crisis the U.S. dollar has been viewed as the ultimate monetary save haven. They also believe the nation would never default on its debt.
          Yet millions of Americans are already feeling the consequences. Minuscule interest rates, engendered by the Federal Reserve to keep borrowing costs cheap, have devastated responsible Americans, whose pitiful return on their savings isn’t even keeping pace with inflation. If interest rates rise, not to their historical mean, but only to levels seen during the liar-Clinton administration, “then we’re going to be paying $1.4 trillion a year just in interest on the existing debt; which is to say, interest payments alone will account for 45 percent of all federal taxes that will be collected in 2015,” wrote columnist Kevin Williamsn.
          Williamson wrote that column two years — and two trillion dollars — ago, when the national debt was “only” $18 trillion.
          Aexchange contained in Earnest Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises” is quite apropos. “How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked. “Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”
         Nothing lasts forever. China, Russia and other nations would like to adopt a world currency and Venezuela just announced it will no longer take U.S. dollars for oil. If the dollar is ultimately abandoned, we can expect to endure the “suddenly” part of the equation that not only includes massive levels of unemployment, but the very same need to adjust any number of policies that any beggar nation needs to do so it can continue borrowing money — including the evisceration of those same entitlements Americans view as sacred cows. In short, America will no longer control its own destiny.
          Even worse, we would be exposed as the fundamentally immoral nation we are rapidly becoming. That is an apt description of a country so addicted to spending it is willing to mortgage the future of its own children and grandchildren, saddling them with unconscionable levels of debt they didn’t accumulate, and from which they’ll never benefit. Keep that reality in mind when Congress debates amnesty for “Dreamers” many Americans believe should be exempt from the “sins” of their parents.
          Also keep it in mind when the national debt reaches $25 trillion. At the rate we’re going, it won’t be long until we get there.

Is Iran Complying or Not? 
America Deserves to Know the Truth
 
{patriotnewsdaily.com} ~ As part of President Barack liar-nObama’s nuclear agreement with Iran, the White House must certify to Congress every 90 days that our Islamic friends on the other side of the world are in compliance with the major terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action... If no such certification is made, the decision is kicked to Congress, who must then decide if it is appropriate to “snap back” sanctions that were lifted as part of the deal’s terms. What is the truth? Here’s the sticking point. There are two levels of “noncompliance.” There is what we might call “spiritual noncompliance,” which are those actions on Iran’s part that violate the “spirit” of the deal. There is no question at all that Iran is guilty of this. In their continued sponsorship of terrorism, their continued pursuit of ballistic missiles, and their ongoing threats of destruction towards Israel and the United States, they have done everything possible to retain their rogue global status without technically destroying the deal... http:/patriotnewsdaily.com/is-iran-complying-or-not-america-deserves-to-know-the-truth/

Let’s not forget, Rep. Maxine Waters is a five-time winner of the “Most Corrupt Member of Congress” designation from the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). Waters successfully kept this title in 2017, and for good reason. Rep. Waters has a long resume of corruption and power abuse in Washington. At the height of the financial crisis, Rep. Waters was busted for pushing the Treasury Secretary to meet with a group of executives from black-owned banks. The group included OneUnited, a bank in which Waters’ husband owned stock and previously served on the board. Thanks to Rep. Waters, OneUnited exploited the meeting as an opportunity to push for a $50 million bailout...    http://www.freedomworks.org/content/mad-maxine-waters

POPULAR MISCONCEPTIONS
by Burt Prelutsky

Because I had the gall to suggest it was immoral for shopkeepers to take Rahm Emanuel’s admonition to never allow a crisis to go to waste by price-gouging during a natural disaster, a few readers took me to task for opposing free market capitalism.

It wasn’t my intention to align myself with Bernie Sanders and his ilk, but I simply don’t believe that it’s right to spike prices just because you can. Besides being immoral, I consider it a lousy business practice.

I know that the argument presented by the opposition was that by hiking the price, the seller could provide more people with the food, water, candles, blankets, flashlights, etc., that people need when there’s a hurricane, earthquake or tornado. I simply don’t see it that way. Unless the shop owner is setting an arbitrary limit on the number of items anyone can buy, there’s no reason to believe that wealthier people won’t buy out the store just in case the disaster lasts longer than predicted.

So far as I’m concerned, no matter how enthusiastic one might be about the benefits of capitalism, it’s no reason to justify some people taking advantage of other people’s desperation. For one thing, a disaster is comparable on a smaller scale to war. At such times, as people might recall from WWII, there were strict limits on the amount of meat, sugar, milk and gasoline, that civilians could purchase. Although it led in some unfortunate instances to a black market, the purpose of wartime rationing was to ensure that those in the armed forces fighting and dying on our behalf got what they needed. 

It also involved the civilian population in the war effort; by having to sacrifice on the home front, it made every American feel he and she was playing an essential role in defeating the Axis powers. It helped turn a nation of strangers into members of the same team.

It also helped that even kids could contribute by collecting newspapers, bottles and tin cans, planting seeds in Victory Gardens and saving up to buy a War Bond. 

It all took place over 70 years ago, and it was the last time that the overwhelming majority of Americans felt they were united in having a common purpose and a common goal. It was, as Dickens, wrote on an earlier occasion, the best of times, it was the worst of times.

A final argument against price-gouging during a natural disaster is that they don’t last forever, and people have long memories. If I were a shopkeeper who had hosed my customers during a hurricane, I certainly wouldn’t expect them to come flooding back, as it were, once the waters had receded.

● Far worse and more contemptible than the price-gouging was the looting we saw taking place in the wake of Hurricane Irma. Just as during Katrina, when we saw blacks, including New Orleans police officers, looting businesses, it was déjà vu all over again in Fort Lauderdale.

One might empathize if the looters had been stealing food and water, or even diapers and milk, for their families, but these swamp creatures were seen running out of a store, clutching cartons of shoes. It almost looked like an off-beat commercial for Air Jordans. 

Judging by the looters in Ferguson, New Orleans and Fort Lauderdale, for some people the basic necessities of life consist of booze, cigarettes and over-priced sneakers.

One of my readers suggested that business owners consider boobytrapping their stores so that looters wading through ankle-deep water would be zapped with electricity. Inasmuch as I believe looters should be shot on sight, I had no problem with his plan on moral grounds. My only concern was that rescuers might be electrocuted. But I thought the solution would be to post signs alerting people to the danger. If folks ignored the warning because they were unable to read, I figured one could safely assume they were the looters.

● On the occasion of 9/11, we heard a lot about the war between Islam and the West that began 16 years earlier. I wondered how many other people reacted as I did, with disbelief. It was 38 years ago, after all, back in 1979, that Iran took hostages. Over the course of the next 22 years leading up to 9/11, the jihadists were constantly attacking our ships, our skyscrapers, our embassies and our Marine base in Lebanon.

The only surprise on 9/11 wasn’t that the Medieval creeps attacked us, but that they succeeded in bringing down the twin towers of the World Trade Center, after having failed in their previous attempt eight years earlier.

Even going back to 1979 doesn’t tell the full story because from the inception of the murderous cult known as Islam, way back in the 8th century, Islam has been at war with its betters. But no American president until Donald Trump seems to be aware of this fact or to recognize that there must be something wrong with people who continue to follow the only major faith that hasn’t gone through any sort of reformation.

In fact, one of the great tragedies of modern life is that the Islamic world hasn’t evolved over the past 1300 years; only their weaponry has.

● According to Chuck clown-Schumer and his chorus of party faithful, “Dreamers are the best that America has to offer.” When they say such stupid things, you really have to wonder how many millions of votes illegal aliens provide the Democrats. Otherwise, there is no explanation for such lunacy.

Likewise, when those on the Left applaud the Dreamers for serving in the military, are they aware that they’re lying or has nobody bothered to inform them that a scant 0.1% of the 800,000 Dreamers (800) are in uniform.

Well, inasmuch as their patriotism is the reason that the Democrats feel amnesty is called for, how about we compromise and keep the 800 and get rid of the other 799,200?

The biggest problem with liberals is that they engage in groupthink, seemingly unaware that actual thinking isn’t involved. All that’s called for is a Pavlovian response to certain words, such as “racist,” “fascist,” “white privilege,” “conservative,” “Republican,” “Trump,” “Islamophobic” and “sexist,” and an unnatural tolerance for mindless chanting.

● Liberals actually believe they are not only kinder and more compassionate than other people, but more intelligent.  While it’s true that a lot of them attend or have attended college, most of them are not involved in the disciplines where people actually have to know what they’re talking about, such as math, chemistry, engineering and physics. Instead, they flock to the BS courses, such as Journalism, Sociology, Black Studies, Hispanic Studies and Human Sexuality, where good grades are either predicated on parroting the professor’s leftist propaganda on tests or, in many cases, simply having a pulse.

● Intellectuals like to think that in case of nuclear war, they are the ones who need to be saved so that the human race can continue to not merely survive, but to thrive.

They’re mistaken, as they would know if they had ever read the play or seen any of the films based on “The Admirable Crichton.” Written in 1902, the comedy by J.M. Barrie tells the tale of a shipwrecked group of English aristocrats.

When the survivors wind up on a deserted island, it is not the nobs, accustomed as they are to giving orders, who run things; rather, it’s Crichton, a servant, who, it is soon discovered, is the only person in their midst capable of doing more than serving cocktails or merely guzzling them.

It is thanks to his efforts that the hoity-toities don’t starve or freeze to death. Of course, once they’re rescued, life reverts to form.

We have seen something along these lines unfold in Texas and Florida, where it’s been the first responders and the volunteers, like the members of the Cajun Navy, who drove a thousand miles with their boats in tow to rescue their fellow Americans in their hour of need.

Nobody could confuse them, or at least most of them, with intellectuals, but there are a lot of people who came to realize that when your survival and the survival of your loved ones is at stake, it’s better to have someone around who’s willing to put his life on the line to save yours than some dope with a PH. D who wants to read you a sonnet about the rising tide.

He apparently seems to strike, at least the outlines of what a deal on DACA will look like, which apparently is no funding for the wall, without Republican leaders in the room. Are you concerned about this?” Senator Cotton takes the position that there is no deal, that he’s been asked to help craft one by sitting down with Democrats... https://rickwells.us/cotton-citizenship-illegals-americans/

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ Hajer Harb, a courageous Palestinian journalist, has been found guilty by Hamas of exposing corruption in the health system in the Gaza Strip... On September 13, a Hamas court sentenced her to six months in prison and a fine. It was the first sentence of its kind to be passed on a female journalist in the Gaza Strip. Harb, however, is unlikely to serve her prison term in the near future; she recently left the Gaza Strip to Jordan, where she is receiving medical treatment after being diagnosed with cancer. Her illness, however, did not stop Hamas from pursuing legal measures against her for her role in exposing corruption in the Palestinian health system. Instead of suspending the legal proceedings against her, the Hamas court chose to sentence her to prison in absentia..https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11016/palestinian-journalists-prison

The city of Chicago sued Sessions, claiming the new requirements were forcing Chicago to choose between losing a significant amount of money or implementing policy changes that would damage the fragile relationship between immigrants and local police. On Friday, a federal judge in Chicago ruled that Sessions does not have the authority to apply restrictions to federal grant eligibility. All is not lost for Sessions. In Leinenweber’s 41-page ruling, he noted that Sessions does have the authority to impose this condition on grant eligibility...  http://punchingbagpost.com/chicago-judge-stymies-trump-plans-to-withhold-money-from-sanctuary-cities

EMBARRASSING THE GUILTY
by Burt Prelutsky

It was the English writer Jessica Mitford who suggested that “While you may not be able to change the world, you can at least embarrass the guilty.”

I happen to subscribe to that belief. The problem is that there is so little time and so many who are guilty. The other problem is just how exactly do you go about embarrassing people like the liar-Clintons, the liar-nObamas, Chuck clown-Schumer, Nancy Pulosi, Mitch McConnell, RINO-Susan Collins, Paul Ryan and Maxine Waters, who have no shame.

The truth is, I have wondered for many years whether blackmail is a thing of the past. I mean, when celebrities go on TV and confess to being addicted to drugs, booze or sex, while the studio audience responds with prolonged applause, what is there left to conceal? In a day and age when people even boast of being homosexual, bi-sexual and something called transgendered, about the only thing people might still hope to conceal is that they happen to be white, God-fearing, heterosexual conservatives.

● You may have heard that Congress might not be able to get any legislation passed before 2018 rolls around, but it’s not just because there are so many factions in the House and Senate that the members can’t agree about anything. It’s also because the legislative bodies are so rarely in session. The reason for that is because the political careers of the members remain their priority. With the 2018 elections a scant 14 months away, they naturally have to start hitting up donors to refill their war chests as fast as humanly possible.

That means that men and women who are earning roughly $200,000-a-year will start hounding people who make far less than they do to donate to their campaigns. My question is why anyone in his right mind would contribute a plugged nickel to keep any of these yahoos gainfully employed.

I’m serious. Let’s say you owned a business and needed to hire replacements for a handful of employees who were retiring. Just how hard up would you have to be before you would even consider hiring any of those self-important palookas you see blathering away on the news shows to stock your shelves or answer your phones?

● Speaking of which, liar-Hillary Clinton has broken the news that she is done with being a political candidate. As breaking news goes, wouldn’t that be rather like Steven Seagal, Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone, letting the world know that they’re done with being a movie star?

Someone sent me a picture of Mrs. liar-Clinton’s book cover which he said answered the question posed on the top half on the bottom half. On top: “What Happened”; below: liar-Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Someone else sent me a picture of a two-book set. On the left was Mrs. liar-Clinton’s book. On the right is a book cover titled “I Happened,” accompanied by a photo of Donald Trump.

As liar-Hillary Clinton expands her own list of deplorables who cost her the election last November, it occurs to me that if there’s any truth to her claims, a lot of us owe some measure of gratitude to James Comey, Joe loose lips-Biden, Vladimir Putin, Bernie Sanders, John Podesta, Anthony Wiener, Matt Lauer and the Macedonians.

● Somebody pointed out that for eight years if he disagreed with the President, he was a racist. Now, if he happens to agree with the President, he’s a racist.

● Somebody else pointed out that whereas Robert Byrd, who had been a Grand Kleagle in the KKK, rose over the course of 50 years to be the majority leader of the Senate, and not a single Democrat uttered a word of condemnation. But, today, those same members of Congress are voicing their anger over statues.   

Another pointed out that the same folks who bashed Trump for only donating a million dollars to Texas storm relief didn’t say boo when Barack liar-nObama handed $150 billion over to Iran.

But, then, the dunces who were outraged that Trump pardoned Sheriff Joe Arpaio weren’t even slightly miffed when liar-nObama released a couple of hundred Islamic jihadists from Gitmo.

● It was inevitable, I suppose, that someone would blame Donald Trump for the natural disasters known as Harvey, Irma and Jose, but it took Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence to say something as stupid as “It’s supernatural powers that have caused all these storms because of who we elected President” out loud.

As Benjamin Franklin observed, “We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain ignorant.”

Clearly, Ms. Lawrence has put in the hard work, and it shows.

But she still has a long way to go before she can provide real competition to Rep. Maxine Waters, who voiced genuine concern that “If North Korea nukes us, Trump is gonna get us into a war.”

● A question to which nobody seems able to provide a satisfactory answer is when affirmative action for black Americans will finally come to an end. Inasmuch as slavery was ended 150 years ago and Jim Crow laws were made null and void over 50 years ago, how much longer are those who played no part in either be expected to continue paying financial or emotional restitution to those who never experienced the whip or the insult?

I would love to hear a defense of Harvard’s admission policy which insists that all else being equal, an Asian-American must score 140 points higher on the SAT than a white student 270 points higher than a Hispanic student and a whopping 450 points higher than a black applicant in order to gain entry to the hallowed halls of the Ivy League.

But it’s not just blacks who enjoy a special protective status for no particular reason in society. James Damore raised a fire storm for merely suggesting that perhaps the reason that the Silicon Valley’s tech industry resembles the world’s largest frat house is that women simply aren’t that interested in pursuing careers that require taking math and computer science in college. He also bemoaned the fact that although he himself was a liberal, he felt that Google had become so authoritarian and was so exclusively liberal that it had become an echo chamber where a diversity of opinion wasn’t even tolerated.

Google proved his charges by firing him.

The irony is that whereas women earned 18% of the bachelor’s degrees in computer and information science, the percentage of women in tech jobs at Google is 20%. Still, when you consider that over 50% of college students are female, Damore was spot on when he suggested that perhaps women simply aren’t as interested in certain subjects as men, even though tech jobs pay a lot more than teaching school, nursing and social work.

You’d think that even liberals might be willing to grant that there are indeed differences between the sexes even if that’s counter to the current dogma that states that sex has nothing to do with biology and hard-wiring, but is totally optional and strictly a matter of opinion.

● When I recently devoted portions of a couple of articles to pointing out similarities between Donald Trump and Harry Truman, Charles Schmitz of St. Louis, let me know that his dad had been a big fan of President Truman, and went on to say he was confident that “Harry would be a Republican today.”

I replied that I, too, would like to think that Truman would be a Republican today. “But, alas,” I added, “I’d like to think the same thing of McConnell, Ryan, RINO-Collins, RINO-Murkowski and RINO-McCain."

They came to a basic understanding, without the details, without the obvious negotiations that have to follow.” “And then,” says Durbin, “clown-Chuck and Nancy said to the President and the White House, ‘We’re going to put out a press release so that it’s clear on both sides what we’ve agreed to. They did exactly that.

The push to build the border wall continues, and Trump has recently chosen not to renew DACA... the illegal, liar-nObama-era program that circumvented Congress and created a lenient immigration law out of thin air. Now, though, Mexican citizens living in the USA illegally have gained a baffling ally – the government from their home country. That’s correct: Mexican officials are now helping their own citizens break the laws of the United States in order to keep them from being sent back to Mexico. On Monday, Mexico’s Foreign Relations Secretary Luis Videgaray visited California – the capital of resistance to Trump’s immigration policies and, arguably, the capital of illegal immigration as well. There, he met with a number of Californian politicians as well as illegal immigrants in the state to discuss how Mexico could help these illegals continue flying under the radar and avoid deportation...  http://www.conservativezone.com/articles/mexican-government-helping-illegals-get-into-california/

A month after President liar-nObama’s plans were initiated, the State Department leaked his defense strategy “of concocting a crime no one was claiming liar-Clinton had committed” – The ‘crime’ being intent to cause harm to the United States. President liar-nObama, the Justice Department and Comey all insisted that prosecuting Secretary liar-Clinton required showing evidence that she had intentionally tried to harm the United States when she transmitted classified information. However, intent is not required by the criminal statute that is relevant to her email scandal...  You all know who that is. http://www.conservativezone.com/articles/the-clinton-comey-controversy-continues-who-is-to-blame/

MUELLER MUST BE REMOVED, 
DISBARRED, PROSECUTED

by LARRY KLAYMAN
{wnd.com} ~ As a former prosecutor of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), founder of Judicial Watch and now Freedom Watch, and its current general counsel and chairman, I filed a complaint Monday before the Office of Professional Responsibility and Inspector General of the DOJ, demanding an investigation and the eventual removal and prosecution of Special Counsel Robert Mueller for his and his conflicted staff – which are Democrat/liar-Clinton political campaign donors and supporters in large part – having illegally leaked grand jury information to harm President Trump, his family and former and present colleagues.

The Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) and Inspector General (IG) are charged with investigating and remedying unethical and illegal behavior by the special counsel, his office and other DOJ lawyers and staff. Special Counsel Mueller derives his authority and powers from the DOJ, as he was appointed by Deputy Attorney General (DAG) Rod Rosenstein – not coincidentally a closet Democrat and President Barack liar-nObama’s former U.S. attorney for the District of Maryland. Attorney General Jeff Sessions must have been smoking his “hated” marijuana, or been high or drunk on something else, when he chose Rosenstein as his No. 2. A worse and more stupid choice could not have been made!

As Sessions and Rosenstein have failed and apparently refuse to properly police the illegal grand jury leaks and conflicts of interest of Mueller – putting their own personal, political and professional interests before all else – the job therefore fell upon Freedom Watch to file this complaint before OPR and the IG, to represent the interests of the American people for honest and non-biased government and to address the sham investigation Mueller has been vindictively pursuing for his friend, a fellow former FBI director himself, James Comey.

The regrettable back story here is that these two DOJ public servants – Sessions also being a former U.S. senator from Alabama – are themselves under investigation by Mueller for their alleged involvement in alleged collusion with Russia in the case of the AG and the firing of former FBI Director James Comey in the case of the DAG. For this and other reasons, which sadly are the norm in our compromised Justice Department, which continues to be loyal to the former administration, not the Trump administration, these two “chameleons” have figuratively desecrated the once proud blue and yellow emblem and shield of DOJ – which I used to have hanging proudly in my office – to save their law-enforcement skin, which has simply turned yellow!

If OPR and the IG themselves fail to take action, you can rest assured that Freedom Watch will file a court complaint to try to force them to take appropriate and immediate action, as well as use other lawful measures, such as petitioning Chief Judge Beryl Howell in the D.C. federal court overseeing Mueller’s grand jury investigation to address these issues though an evidentiary hearing. Importantly, neither watchdog of DOJ conveniently feels any obligation to disclose the scope and nature of their investigation.

Also importantly, the timid lawyers representing the president and other targets or subjects of Mueller’s “kangaroo court” criminal investigation have been loathe if not afraid to take him on. Both President Trump and the special counsel’s other targets and subjects need new lawyers, outside of Washington, D.C., who are not part of the legal swamp there – where all political persuasions scratch each other’s back as part of the “club” that continues to feed itself through case referrals, fee splitting and other perks and benefits for the “legally privileged” mega-firm lawyers that reside on the banks of the Potomac. In short, it’s time to take the proverbial gloves off.

As Popeye used to say, “enough is enough and enough is too much!” It may be impressive to be able to take a punch, but in my long career it is much better and more effective to give one – in this case a very big punch, figuratively speaking, to legally flatten Mueller’s already bloated visage.

To sit back and watch Mueller’s and his staff’s legal jihad unfold with impunity is a huge mistake, and that is why you, the American people, should also intervene and write and email these offices and demand action. In particular, you should also express your extreme displeasure to Sessions and Rosenstein for their failure to police Special Counsel Mueller and the politically compromised Trump-loathing 16 and counting generally leftist prosecuting attorneys he hired at great taxpayer expense to do an unethical and illegal hit on and ultimately destroy our president.

Finally, the latest outrage to come out of Mueller’s grand jury investigations was disclosed this week when it was revealed – by leftist CNN, no less – that the special counsel had previously done legal work for a Gen. Michael Flynn company, Ironbridge. See “Mueller Briefly Did Work for Flynn-Tied Firm,” CNN.com (Sept. 14, 2017). Mueller and his equally conflicted staff have been tirelessly working to “burn” Flynn and, now we learn, his son as well at the legal stake.

If Ironbridge is one of the companies associated with Flynn or his son under investigation, this conflict of interest could result in Mueller’s ultimate disbarment and other severe penalties, if he had not recused himself from at least this aspect of the ongoing grand jury probe. All of this needs to be investigated by OPR, the IG and Chief Judge Beryl Howell, who also needs to hold a mini-trial and put Mueller and his henchmen on the stand to explain and account for their actions.

The OPR and IG complaint I filed on behalf of Freedom Watch, the “People’s Justice Department,” speaks for itself. I urge you to carefully review this complaint to understand the egregious, unethical and illegal actions of this politically partisan special counsel. Mueller must be removed, along with his conflicted and compromised staff, and then referred to the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia for prosecution, as they all have violated their oath of office and the sacrosanct Rules of Criminal Procedure, as well as several provisions of professional codes of conduct for lawyers.

SPEAK OUT against designated terrorist group CAIR’s efforts to create a false narrative about the systematic eviction of Rohingya Muslims by Buddhists from Myanmar

%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=www.barenakedislam.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/452191-Myanmar-1350333381-292-640x480-1-e1505786058514.jpg?resize=360%2C270" alt="" width="360" height="270" />CAIR is in cahoots with the media who are outright lying about why the Buddhists are trying to drive the illegal Rohingya Muslim squatters out of Myanmar. Think about it, how much would it take to enrage a peaceful people like the Buddhists enough to rise up en masse against another population group in their country?

It’s only after decades of Muslims attacking, robbing, raping Buddhists, killing their monks and burning their temples, that has made them campaign to send the Rohingyas back where they came from – Bangladesh. There are many links below this video that you can send to media outlets or publishers or anyone else that is blatantly ignorant of who the real enemy is in Myanmar.

FRENCH POLICE come out to protest out-of-control Muslim attacks and violence

( Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate! )

Police are overwhelmed and undermanned to fight the soaring level of Muslim violence in the streets and Islamic terrorist attacks – SEVEN so far in 2017 – with police often the main targets. As a result, police unions are demanding the government protect them from this Muslims invasion with a big increase in personnel.

Michigan: Muslim teen pushed ‘Americanizing’ mother out 2nd story window to her death

( Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate! )

Religion of peace ya’ll. Source: Culture clash roiled family before Farmington Hills mother’s killing   h/t: Blazing Cat Fur

Farmington Hills — Nada Huranieh’s death was initially seen as an accidental fall, but investigators soon determined the 35-year-old fitness trainer had been murdered — and that her 16-year-old son was the alleged culprit.

Authorities remain tight-lipped about their investigation into Huranieh’s death, but court records shed some light on her family’s sometimes troubled existence behind the walls of their mansion off a quiet dirt road in southern Oakland County.

Huranieh, 35, died Aug. 21 from injuries suffered in a fall from a second-floor window of the seven-bedroom home on Howard Road in Farmington Hills. Authorities said she was found on her patio by her 14-year-old daughter, who called police to report Huranieh was not breathing.

The death was ruled a homicide following an autopsy, and her son, Muhammad Altantawi, is charged as an adult with second-degree murder. He is being held in Oakland County Children’s Village without bond.

During a pre-exam conference Friday, Judge Marla Parker of 47th District Court scheduled a preliminary hearing for Nov. 17, when she will decide whether Altantawi will be tried in his mother’s death.

The teenager, from all accounts, is a good student without any prior legal trouble. If found guilty of killing his mother, he could be sentenced to life in prison.

But court records and people familiar with the family reveal stress inside the home that predated the death, with Muhammad Altantawi being placed “in the middle” of adult issues, including allegations of domestic violence, a parental split and Medicaid fraud charges against his father, a Canton-based physician.

Huranieh and Bassel Altantawi, who wed in Syria in 1999 and had three children, were in the midst of a divorce; both were scheduled to give depositions the week she died.

Huranieh had filed for divorce in March 2016. According to court records, the teen’s father, Bassel Altantawi, now 46, violated orders for supervised visitation and allegedly met several times with his son at a strip mall near the home more than a year ago.

The father also expressed concerns that his children were being “Americanized” by his wife in contrast to their Syrian and Islamic roots, court records indicate.

One of Huranieh’s ex-attorneys, Carolyn Markowitz, said the son expressed anger toward his mother and frequently slipped away to meet his father, who was ordered out of their Farmington Hills home following an incident in which he was accused of throwing his wife down a flight of stairs on Valentine’s Day in 2016.

Altantawi eventually pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of spousal abuse. He was placed on a tether and given conditions that included having no contact with his estranged wife for two years and having only supervised visitation with their children, who were ordered to have counseling.

Muhammad Altantawi and his two sisters, age 14 and 12, were in the sole legal custody of their mother at the time of her death, though the boy’s address is listed as being on Ford Road in Canton, according to his district court criminal file. The address is his father’s urgent care clinic.

Part of the divorce filing in Oakland County Circuit Court is confidential.

Bassel Altantawi described the altercation with his wife as “an isolated and very unfortunate incident that he has taken responsibility for and it will not be repeated,” McGlinchey wrote in the 2016 divorce filing.

The estranged couple’s older daughter phoned police to report the Valentine’s Day incident, according to Markowitz, Huranieh’s former attorney.

“Her injuries were serious, she could have died,” she said.

It was unclear if the son was at home during the altercation, but Markowitz said in the following months, it became clear that Muhammad was growing apart from his mother. Several times, he ran away to see his father.

“He always returned home but was more like his father, a traditional Muslim,” Markowitz said. “The girls were happy to go shopping with their mother, have electrolysis. But he was very much like his father, didn’t believe in living the American culture. His father even had him working for him against her in the home, taking photographs of things, like items his mother had bought. Like a spy.

“There were third parties, a religious mentor, who was also trying to influence him or relay his father’s wishes, which was also improper,” she said.

In a July 2016 affidavit filed as part of the divorce case, the imam at the Canton Islamic Center where the family worshiped, said he had known both Huranieh and her husband for more than 10 years, socialized with both and considered them friends.

Imam Mohamad Abdulgani denied attempting to influence anyone, including the children, regarding the divorce. He also said he had never been contacted by Altantawi to act on his behalf with such a request.

Altantawi acknowledged he had contacted his son by cellphone and that he had been picking up the teen at the end of the street “to remain in compliance with the no contact order,” according to a statement filed by McGlinchey in circuit court as part of the divorce case.

McGlinchey declined to discuss allegations made in court records by both parents that the other spouse attempted to turn the son against them.

Altantawi, a successful physician, had other problems. In May 2016, he was charged by the Michigan attorney general with fraud at his Canton Urgent Care clinic.

In March, he pleaded guilty to two counts of Medicaid fraud and two counts of health care fraud, which are felonies that can carry up to four years in prison. Altantawi was spared prison time but his physician’s license was suspended and paid $277,953 in restitution, according to the state attorney general’s office.

According to divorce filings, Altantawi — who once had an annual income in excess of $350,000 — found himself unable to work as a physician or meet previous court-ordered support payments for his estranged wife and three children.

He said he was “no longer able to support them in their lavish lifestyle” in Farmington Hills and complained of Huranieh going on shopping trips in Metro Detroit and Chicago and racking up thousands of dollars in credit card charges at upscale clothing stores.

Court records show after the March 2016 divorce filing, Altantawi was ordered to maintain the status quo in the household finances yet failed to pay bills that resulted in shutoffs of utility, cellphone and internet service. Medical and dental appointments were disrupted after insurance was canceled for nonpayment and he failed to pay auto insurance and registration renewals on Huranieh’s Mercedes Benz, according to court records.

According to filings in the couple’s divorce case, both parties allegedly withdrew large sums from their joint bank account: Huranieh nearly $630,000 and Altantawi more than $800,000. Besides the Farmington Hills mansion, valued at around $1 million, and the clinic, there is reportedly $200,000 in property in Syria in Altantawi’s name.

Another pending issue is custody of the children. A petition filed in probate court by Serene Zeni, a family friend and attorney, indicates the police investigation of Huranieh’s death is examining “whether other individuals are involved.”

A Wednesday custody hearing is scheduled before Judge Jennifer S. Callaghan of Oakland County Probate Court.

Maryland imam: ‘Goal of Jihad is Sharia…Sharia Spread by the Sword’ (Video)

( Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate! )

This is the same Maryland imam being investigated for funding a Muslim ISIS supporter’s arsenal in Detroit.  via MEMRI TV

Sheikh Suleiman Anwar Bengharsa, head of the Islamic Jurisprudence Center in Clarksburg, Maryland, gave a lecture in Toronto, Canada in 2010, in which he said that Muslims could only live in the land of the infidels under certain circumstances, one of which was to do da’wa. “When the caliphate is established, you need to pack your bags and go home,” he said. In the lecture on the jurisprudence of interaction with non-Muslims, which was delivered at the Abu Huraira Center in Toronto and posted on YouTube in August 2010, Bengharsa stressed that historically, Islam had been spread by the sword and said that the purpose of Jihad is to establish the law of Allah and that while you can’t force a person to believe in Allah, “you can force him to live by the shari’a.”

Democrat Glenn Hurst, a Marxist and candidate for the Pottawattamie County (IOWA) Board of Supervisors, organized some people – including his friends/colleagues at Hamas (dba CAIR) – to use newspapers to disrupt.

The entire thing backfired on the anti-American crowd, totaling about a dozen versus the 140 others in the room who understood that the very people causing the problems, specifically CAIR, are actually a danger to the community in rural Iowa.

UK: Muslims threaten boycott as Council votes on banning halal meat in school

( Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate! )

Thousands of Muslim students in Lancashire may boycott meals in local schools if halal meat is banned in those schools. The Council’s concern about halal comes from the cruelty with it mandates that animals be slaughtered. British experts have stated that halal-slaughtered animals are dying in “agony.”

Lancashire Councilor leader Geoff Driver stated:

“In my view, it is abhorrent to kill an animal without stunning it because of the distress it causes. We will bring it to a full council meeting where members can vote with their conscience.”

Here we see, once again, a clash of civilizations on “barbaric practices,” a term that is deemed politically incorrect. Western thought mandates equality of rights for all regardless of creed and race, and also calls for compassion toward animals and concern for their well-being.

We may hope that PETA (People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals) will weigh in on halal slaughter practices.

Earlier in the year, three halal slaughtermen were charged with animal cruelty after they were secretly filmed by an animal rights group committing “systematic” acts of abuse against sheep and goats.

“Muslims Threaten Boycott as Council Votes on Banning Halal Meat in School”, by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, September 18, 2017:

Lancashire Councillors are to be given a free vote on whether school children across the country should be fed ‘halal’ meat from animals that have had their throats slit without being stunned.

If the local representatives vote to ban the meat in schools, thousands of Muslim children could boycott meals in Lancashire schools as they did back in 2012 when a similar restriction was introduced.

Council leader Geoff Driver told the Lancashire Telegraph: “In my view, it is abhorrent to kill an animal without stunning it because of the distress it causes. We will bring it to a full council meeting where members can vote with their conscience.”

Pendle Central Tory Cllr Joe Cooney added: “I have grave reservations and will vote against the banning of halal meat that is not pre-stunned.”

Unstunned halal meat is currently supplied to 12,000 pupils at 27 schools in Blackburn, Nelson, Burnley, Rawtenstall, Hyndburn, Clitheroe, and Preston.

The council will still supply halal meals for Muslim students if the ban is brought in, but the animals will be studded before slaughter. However, this fails to meet the Lancashire Council of Mosques’ (LCM) interpretation of Islamic law.

On their website, the LCM lists their strict “criteria” for producing meat they consider genuinely halal, including “the slaughterman must be a Muslim,” and, the “process must avoid all forms of stunning and the animal must be alive prior to slaughter.”

LCM chairman and Burnley resident Abdul Hamid Qureshi said: “We thought this issue has been resolved in 2012 and it is unfortunate it has been raised again.

“This is personal crusade by Cllr Driver. For him, it is matter of feelings but for Muslims, this is matter of faith.

“The LCM position is and always has been that stunning before slaughter means the meat is not halal and there is argument about whether pre-stunning causes more or less distress to animals that slaughter without it.”…..

Thousands of Muslim children at 45 county council schools in the area refused to eat meals containing the meat, and the decision was eventually reversed.

In November 2016, campaigners handed a 100,000 signature petition to Downing Street calling for a ban on halal and kosher (Jewish) slaughter.

Earlier in the year, three halal slaughtermen were charged with animal cruelty after they were secretly filmed by an animal rights group committing “systematic” acts of abuse against sheep and goats.

India’s government said Monday that it has evidence there are extremists who pose a threat to the country’s security among the Rohingya Muslims who have left Myanmar and settled in many Indian cities. India’s Supreme Court was hearing a petition filed on behalf of two Rohingya refugees, challenging a government decision to deport the ethnic group from India.

For India, the problem is not just about 40,000 Rohingya refugees, but its facet of global jihad that impacts on its security.

The “fake news” is that Rohingya Muslims are the victims is Islamic propaganda. Hugh Fitzgerald writes:

 

This “fake news” is, according to Aung San Suu Kyi, “simply the tip of a huge iceberg of misinformation calculated to create a lot of problems between different communities and with the aim of promoting the interest of the terrorists.”

Let’s refresh our memories of what has been going on in Myanmar this last month. All the news reports coming from Myanmar (Burma) tell the same story: tens of thousands of the Rohingya, a Muslim minority, have been fleeing into Bangladesh, to avoid the sudden upsurge in violence from both Burmese military and civilians. The Rohingya are presented as the innocent and long-suffering victims of “racist” Burmese Buddhists (Islam being, for propaganda purposes, a “race”). Only a handful of the reports mention, and only briefly, as if in passing, that the current violence began when, in mid-August, Rohingya fighters attacked 30 different police stations and an army base, as part of their campaign to stake their claim to Rakhine State, in western Myanmar, and showing themselves able “to strike terror in the hearts” of the Infidels to get it. The attacks left more than 70 dead, Muslims and Buddhists.

The Rohingyas unleashed still other attacks, and the Burmese army then retaliated, and the Rohingya continued to strike back during the last two weeks in August, and then there was more retaliation from the Buddhists. Many Rohingya have fled the retaliatory violence — a violence which they began — for Bangladesh, but it is their flight, and that retaliation by the Buddhists, which is getting almost all of the attention in the Western press, complete with photographs of victims of other conflicts who are presented as Rohingya (the “fake news” of which Aung San Suu Kyi complained), rather than what prompted it.

Seldom mentioned is that the August attack by the Rohingyas was preceded by a similar attack, last October, by the Rohingyas on the Burmese (Buddhist) police, and again, it was not their initial attack, but almost exclusively the retaliation by the Buddhist army, that was the focus of reports in the foreign press last fall. Reports of Rohingya villages being burnt down are reported uncritically. The Myanmar authorities have claimed that Islamic militants, having infiltrated Rohingya communities, have themselves been setting fire to houses in Muslim villages in order to get the world even more on their side. Instead of assuming these claims must be false, why not investigate them?

According to most of the world’s media, an unfathomable tragedy has been unfolding in Myanmar. The Buddhist majority, inflamed by rabble-rousing anti-Muslim monks, has been persecuting, killing, even massacring, members of the entirely inoffensive Muslim Rohingya minority in the western state of Rakhine (formerly, and in some places still, known as “Arakan”). An example of this hysterical coverage can be found in a report from, unsurprisingly, the pro-Muslim Guardian. It describes a sinister senior monk, Shin Parathu, who is repeatedly accused by the Guardian of “stoking religious hatred across Burma. His paranoia and fear, muddled with racist stereotypes and unfounded rumors, have helped to incite violence and spread disinformation.” One might note that no examples of these “racist stereotypes” are ever given. Could it be that the “stereotype” that this monk is accused of spreading has to do with depicting Muslims as intent on Jihad in the path of Allah, unwilling and even unable to integrate into a Buddhist society, and with a history, going back to 1942, of violence against Buddhists, that is the Rakhine people of Arakan State, and even attempting to join part of East Pakistan, and through the late 1950s, and in the 1970s, and again in the 1990s, conducting a low-level insurrection against the Burmese state — all of which is true?

And while the Guardian insists that the Rohingya are never the instigators of violence, the policemen they attacked without warning and nine of whom they murdered last October, and the people they killed in 31 coordinated attacks in mid-August, and those Buddhists they have killed since, might beg to differ. The Western press remains resolutely unsympathetic to the Buddhists of Myanmar, unwilling to find out why those Buddhists might have reason to be alarmed.

The Western media have uncritically repeated the Rohingya claim that they have inhabited Arakan for many centuries or “since time immemorial.” Others beg to differ, among them a well-known historian, and author of many works on Burma, Professor Andrew Selth of Griffith University in Australia. He has stated categorically that the name “Rohingya” was taken by “Bengali Muslims who live in Arakan State…most Rohingyas arrived with the British colonialists in the 19th and 20th centuries.” It is true that a handful of Bengali Muslims drifted down to Burma over the centuries, but Professor Selth makes the important point — unknown to Western reporters — that the vast majority of Rohingyas are recent arrivals, their great migration made possible by the fact that Burma was administratively part of British India until 1937, which meant there was no formal border to cross.

Particularly disappointing for many in the West (not to speak of the reactions of Pakistan, Al Jazeera, and Tariq Ramadan) has been what they regard as the unforgivable silence of Aung San Suu Kyi, currently the head of the Myanmar government. For Aung San Suu Kyi was formerly the leader of the nonviolent opposition to the Burmese military, placed under house arrest by the generals, then freed, and awarded a Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. For more than two decades she was, for her continued defiance of the generals, and willingness to endure that house arrest, a darling of the international media. Since the end of military rule, which she helped to bring about, she has held a number of important government posts, and is now the State Counsellor (equivalent to Prime Minister) in Myanmar.

Indian government says Rohingya Muslims are security threat

NY Times, September 18, 2017:

NEW DELHI — India’s government said Monday that it has evidence there are extremists who pose a threat to the country’s security among the Rohingya Muslims who have fled Myanmar and settled in many Indian cities.

India’s Supreme Court was hearing a petition filed on behalf of two Rohingya refugees challenging a government decision to deport the ethnic group from India.

The lawyer representing the Rohingya said the decision was discriminatory.

“This is clearly a case of religious discrimination and an attempt to arouse an anti-Muslim feeling,” Prashant Bhushan said.

He said the government had evidence of the presence of militants among the refugees who fled a crackdown by the Myanmar government.

The government said the decision on whether Rohingya refugees should be allowed to remain in the country should be made by the government.

“The court has no business to interfere in such matters of what they call illegal immigrants or illegal migrants,” the government said in an affidavit.

A Rohingya insurgent group in Myanmar which claimed responsibility for recent attacks on police posts, the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army, says it has no links to outside jihadi organizations.
