Hillary Just Said Trump Is A Traitor To America And Needs To Be Silenced (Video)

Following her stunning election defeat in November 2016, two-time failed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton reportedly shied away from public view and took long walks in the forest. Many people, Republicans and Democrats alike, wish she had stayed there.

Instead, attention-starved Hillary has attempted to fill the White House sized hole in her life by writing a book called What Happened about her election failure and going on a lengthy cross-country book to promote it.

In the process, Hillary has been revealed just how psychologically tattered she has become by making a number of incendiary statements, mostly about Trump. It has caused grave embarrassment to members of the DEmocratic Party, who have been keen to move on and regroup after the 2016 disaster.

Stated Clinton in an interview on PBS NewsHour, “In many ways the Trump presidency poses a clear and present danger to our country.” The terms “clear and present danger” are, as any Tom Clancy fan well knows, what the U.S. Supreme Court uses to decide if a person needs to be silenced under the Espionage Act of 1917.

Said Hillary further about Trump, regarding his handling of the current situation with North Korea, “He’s being played by these dictators in a way that undercuts our credibility and the capacity to come up with a diplomatic solution in that region.” Hillary then said that he poses risks “domestically to our institutions of democracy, our self governance, our rule of law.” She went on about Trump, “I think going forward, any effort to try to contain him, which I know some in the White House and in the broader administration have been trying to do, is especially important when it comes to consequential decisions.”

Do you think Hillary is the one that needs to be contained? Watch below:

The negotiations follow four hearings during the last two weeks in which senators from both parties on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee heard from governors, health insurance commissioners, health policy experts and insurers. Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander, HELP Committee chairman, and Sen.

Time for Single-Payer Health Care? Nope

by Michael Swartz:  “If we expanded Medicaid [to] everybody … we would be spending such an astronomical sum of money that, you know, we would bankrupt the nation.” —Bernie Sanders in 1987

          During the original debate about what became known as liar-nObamaCare, there was a small but vocal faction in the Democrat Party that believed America needed to go further down the road toward a single-payer health system. Health care is a right, they argued, and America was the one industrialized nation without a government-run system.
          While conservatives and commoners alike argued that Americans weren’t interested in the long waits and rationing that come with “free” health care, congressional Democrats flirted with the idea of introducing the “public option” to liar-nObamaCare. Ultimately, they relented to the demands of moderates within the party and attempted to work within the existing system of health insurance. Their contribution was to instead make having insurance mandatory, but available through a series of state-based exchanges while expanding Medicaid eligibility into the working class. Surely, they promised, this would allow practically everyone to have the means to pay for their health care.
          Nearly four years into full liar-nObamaCare adoption, though, we’ve learned two things about the program. First, it doesn’t work as intended because insurers continue to ratchet up their rates and deductibles or drop out of the market, leaving large and mostly rural regions of the country with one or no insurance providers. But we’ve also learned that there are just enough popular parts of the laughably named Affordable Care Act, just enough people who will scream bloody murder about the loss of their precious entitlement, and just enough media to find every would-be “victim” of losing mandatory coverage to frighten Republicans from repealing it — this despite their biannual electoral ritual of promising to rip out liar-nObamaCare “root and branch” if we’d just hand them the keys to the government. Thus, liar-nObamaCare has now become the accepted “floor” for government involvement in health care.
          With that background in mind, “progressive” Democrats — led by the ostensibly independent Bernie Sanders — are more comfortable bringing the idea of a single-payer health care system back into the debate. On Wednesday, Sen. Sanders’ New York Times op-ed announced his introduction of legislation to eventually put all Americans under the Medicare program. As one would expect, it’s chock full of the bromides we’ve heard from the radical Left for years.
          Sanders asks, “Do we, as a nation, join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee comprehensive health care to every person as a human right? Or do we maintain a system that is enormously expensive, wasteful and bureaucratic, and is designed to maximize profits for big insurance companies, the pharmaceutical industry, Wall Street and medical equipment suppliers?” (Never mind he helped to create that system by getting the government more involved.) Under the Sanders plan, Medicare would be expanded in the first year to add dental and vision coverage and eligibility increased to cover all children under 18 and adults over 55. Each year thereafter for the next three years, the age threshold would back up a decade or more until all were covered by the fourth year.
          Sanders also warns, “Needless to say, there will be huge opposition to this legislation from the powerful special interests that profit from the current wasteful system. The insurance companies, the drug companies and Wall Street will undoubtedly devote a lot of money to lobbying, campaign contributions and television ads to defeat this proposal.” Rest assured, Bernie, that if you cut them a slice of the single-payer pie they’ll be right in line, leaving the rest of us to foot the bill.
          But to Sanders, there are no passionate defenders of Liberty, only greedy corporate interests.
          Strangely enough, the high price 1987 Bernie warned of is one thing 2017 Bernie doesn’t address in the op-ed, but as part of the package he released a summary of revenue enhancements needed to pay for the system. Much of the revenue comes from higher taxes on employers and individuals, with the obligatory homage to soaking the rich by limiting their deductions and other options to reduce their tax liability.
          With the introduction of the single-payer bill, Democrats who want to establish their bona fides with the #Resist crowd are quickly climbing aboard. Potential 2020 hopefuls (and fellow senators) Elizabeth dinky-Warren and Kamala Harris Tweeted their support several days ago, while Sen. Cory Booker gushed on local TV, “I think health care should be a right to all.” New York’s Kirsten Gillibrand bragged about the inclusion of her public option in the Sanders bill, saying, “I was especially pleased to work with my colleagues to help write the section of the bill about letting every American buy into a not-for-profit public option, as part of the four-year transition period that leads to single-payer. This would create an affordable, public health care plan that’s available to any American to purchase through the already-existing insurance exchanges.” Shades of 2009.
          Even more moderate Democrats like Joe Manchin from West Virginia (a state that recently saw its governor switch to the Republican Party) and Max Baucus from Montana (another deeply Trump-supporting state) are warming up to the idea. Single-payer “should be explored,” said Manchin, although he said he wanted more information about how it works in other nations first. Baucus, who is regarded as one of the principal architects of liar-nObamaCare and an opponent of single-payer, now concedes, “I just think the time has come” for it.
          The only people in the caucus who don’t seem enamored with the prospect of a single-payer bill are those in party leadership, who remember what happened at the ballot box eight years ago. Republicans won’t let them forget that easily.
          It’s already been shown, though, that the bad idea of single-payer is a budget-buster at the state level. Late in 2014, Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin dropped ambitious plans for a state-run system, citing cost concerns and not enough political will to raise the revenues needed, particularly an additional 9.5% income tax coupled with an 11.5% increase in the payroll tax. A similar story played out in California earlier this year, with the state senate passing a proposal estimated to cost the state $400 billion annually. But to the dismay of proponents who considered his betrayal a stab in the back, Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon put the kibosh on the bill, which he called “woefully incomplete” with “potentially fatal flaws.” The most fatal flaws may be the fact that California’s proposed single-payer system would triple the state budget and require a 15% payroll tax to make up part of the cost.
          Single-payer as expressed by the “Medicare for All” movement is one of those things that sounds great until one digs into the devilish details. Considering that doctors are more and more reticent to take Medicare patients, and that the program is on course to run itself out of its Part A trust fund a dozen years hence, this scheme may be the opening push to “fix” overall health care just like we “fixed” the issue of the uninsured with liar-nObamaCare.
          As usual, the government is like the drunk looking for his car keys under the light not because it’s where he left them but because it’s where he can see. A system that was functional a decade ago is now dysfunctional, but we’re supposed to trust the people who thought they had it solved the last time. Pardon us if we’re not buying what they’re trying to sell.  ~The Patriot Post

OUTRAGEOUS! Minneapolis police union boss speaks out in defense of Somali Muslim cop who gunned down an innocent, unarmed white woman for no reason

%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=www.barenakedislam.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/bob_kroll_c0-0-614-358_s885x516-e1505626675878.jpg?resize=405%2C236" alt="" width="405" height="236" />In response to comments by top prosecutor Mike Freeman, Lieutenant Bob Kroll (photo right), who is the president of the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis, says: “We want an assurance he will not be charged simply on the basis of Damond’s status as a fine young woman in a nice neighborhood.” (How about charging him with 2nd degree murder for shooting a woman who posed no threat to anyone?)

UK Daily Mail  (h/t Sara S) Lieutenant Kroll said comments made by Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman showed a ‘lack of professionalism’ and calls ‘Freeman’s objectivity into question’.

The attorney said the decision of whether or not to charge Mr Noor should be made by the end of the year. Prosecutors are trying to determine whether the admissible evidence available is strong enough to allow them to lay criminal charges.

Lieutenant Kroll said he was forced to respond to Mr Freeman’s comments out of a sense of fairness to the community and his fellow police officers.

HEAVY Mohamed Noor, the Minneapolis Somali Muslim police officer who shot and killed Justine Damond, an Australian yoga teacher and spiritual healer, was the first Somali Muslim officer in his precinct. Mayor Betsy Hodges, in 2016, wrote a lengthy Facebook post that praised the hiring of Noor.

Noor shot her while she was talking to the other officer identified as Matthew Harrity in the driver’s seat through the open window of the patrol car. Damond was shot and killed after calling 911 to report a possible assault in an alley behind her home on July 15, reports The Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

“Three sources with knowledge of the incident said Sunday that two officers in one squad car, responding to the 911 call, pulled into the alley. Damond, in her pajamas, went to the driver’s side door and was talking to the driver. The officer in the passenger seat pulled his gun and shot Damond through the driver’s side door, sources confirmed. No weapon was found at the scene because the victim was unarmed,” the Star Tribune reported.

Noor’s partner was allegedly “stunned” when Noor opened fire. Authorities have been very vague and tight-lipped on the shooting, saying that it’s under investigation.

Officer Noor has still not spoken to authorities about the deadly shooting.

The shooting death has caused outrage in both Australia and Minnesota, where Damond was a beloved teacher of meditation who held betterment workshops and was supposed to be married in August. Her grieving family in Australia (below) has yet to get any answers.

Justine was engaged to Don Damond (below) who works as a vice president and general manager for a Minnesota casino. Back in Australia, Damond was the daughter of a prominent bookstore owner.

UK Daily Mail But investigators were quick to search Justine Damond’s house for bodily fluids, weapons and drugs after the bride-to-be was shot and killed by a U.S. police officer, treating her as the perpetrator rather than the victim.

Detectives reportedly found nothing of interest in the search of Justine’s home. Criminal expert Joseph Daly claimed there was no apparent reason for detectives to search the 40-year-old Australian woman’s home.

Noor already was the subject of a pending Federal Complaint.

The open federal case in the United States District Court, District of Minnesota was filed against Noor, two other police officers, and the City of Minneapolis, by a woman named Teresa M. Graham.

%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=www.barenakedislam.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/20065471_1278869702211989_216091169145225216_n.jpg?resize=640%2C640" alt="" width="590" height="590" />

Federal court documents say the complaint is an action for money damages arising out of a May 25, 2017. The complaint accuses Noor and the other officers “without any reasonable or legal cause” of forcing “their way into Plaintiff’s house,” where they’re accused of having “violently and forcibly detained her, and transported her to a hospital against her will.” She’s alleging violations of constitutional rights.

France: ‘Allahu akbar’ attackers strike twice – 2 women injured, soldier attacked in separate incidents

Source: France hammer attack: Two women injured by man shouting ‘Allahu akbar’ in France | Daily Star

A MAN wielding a hammer has attacked two women in France while shouting “Allahu Akbar” – French media reports.

The two were attacked on the street Chalon-sur-Saone – with one being struck in the back of the head. 

Cops have launched a manhunt following the incident, deploying a police helicopter.

French media reports witnesses said the man shouted “Allahu Akbar”.

One of the women was seriously injured, while the other was described as slightly injured.The prosecutors office said “both victims are shocked” and the attacker “immediately fled”.

It comes after a solider was attacked in Paris, and a bomb was detonated on a Tube train in Parsons Green, London

Europe has been suffering with terror attacks, with five this year in the UK alone. 

France remains in a state of emergency following attacks such as the jihadi lorry attack in Nice, which killed 87, and the Paris attacks, which killed 137.

ISIS have been lashing out aboard as their battled back in the Middle East and driven out of Iraq and Syria.

A man has been arrested after trying to stab a soldier on patrol in the French capital this morning.

The knifeman attacked the a soldier at the Chatelet metro station – right in the centre of the city – at about 6.30am.

The station – which would have been busy with rush hour commuters – is less than hour’s walk from the Eiffel Tower.

He made “remarks referring to Allah”, according to a police source quoted in French media.

French armed forces minister Florence Parly said: “A man has been arrested.

“We do not know more about the intentions of the aggressor who was arrested – but this new attack fully legitimises what we want to do.”


Unfortunately, removing Muslims from France is not what they want to do. Until then, there will be a steady stream of allah akbar attacks.

Saudi Arabia: School Textbooks (Still) Teach Intolerance of Christians and Jews

Source: Saudi Arabia: Religion Textbooks Promote Intolerance | Human Rights Watch

Saudi Arabia’s school religious studies curriculum contains hateful and incendiary language toward religions and Islamic traditions that do not adhere to its interpretation of Sunni Islam, Human Rights Watch said today. The texts disparage Sufi and Shia religious practices and label Jews and Christians “unbelievers” with whom Muslims should not associate.

A comprehensive Human Rights Watch review of the Education Ministry-produced school religion books for the 2016-17 school year found that some of the content that first provoked widespread controversy for violent and intolerant teachings in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks remains in the texts today, despite Saudi officials’ promises to eliminate the intolerant language.

“As early as first grade, students in Saudi schools are being taught hatred toward all those perceived to be of a different faith or school of thought,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. “The lessons in hate are reinforced with each following year.”

The curriculum reserves its harshest criticisms for Jews, Christians, and people of other faiths, often describing them as kuffar, or “unbelievers.”

In one fifth-grade second semester textbook, the curriculum calls Jews, Christians, and Al Wathaniyeen, or “pagans,” the “original unbelievers” and declares that it is the duty of Muslims to excommunicate them: “For whoever does not [excommunicate them], or whoever doubts their religious infidelity is himself an unbeliever.”

 

 

Saudi Ministry of Education, Al-Tawhid, Student Book, Fifth Grade, Second Semester, 2016-17, p. 55

Saudi Ministry of Education, Al-Tawhid, Student Book, Fifth Grade, Second Semester, 2016-17, p. 55

 

In a chapter listing markers by which one can recognize the approach of the Day of Resurrection, one passage states: “The Hour will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews, and Muslims will kill the Jews.”

A recurring and alarming lesson in the curriculum warns against imitating, associating with, or joining the “unbelievers” in their traditions and practices. One passage rejects and denounces the Sufi practice of celebrating the birth of the prophet, accusing Sufis of imitating Christians, i.e. “unbelievers,” in their celebration of the birth of Jesus.

In another chapter, “Loyalty to Unbelievers,” the text explicitly calls on Muslims to reserve loyalty to God, the prophet, and other believers and to express hostility and antagonism toward “unbelievers.” It warns Muslims that by imitating “unbelievers” or even joining them in their celebrations, one is at risk of expressing loyalty to them, and worse even, becoming one of them.

The Saudi government’s official denigration of other religious groups, combined with its ban on public practice of other religions, could amount to incitement to hatred or discrimination. International human rights law requires countries to prohibit “[a]ny advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence.”

Article 18 of the International Covenant for Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) states: “Everyone shall have the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This right shall include the freedom to have or adopt a religion or belief of his choice, and freedom, either individually or in community with others and in public or in private, to manifest his religion or relief in worship, observance, practice and teaching.”

“Saudi Arabia’s officials should stop denigrating other people’s personal beliefs,” Whitson said. “After years of reform promises there is apparently still little room for tolerance in the country’s schools.”

Islamic State calls on Muslims to commit jihad mass murder at hurricane relief centers

“To all the (lone mujahids) in the U.S. (warrior), pop down to Houston and drop in at any of the relief centers housing displaced people from the Houston floods, make sure to bring lots of supplies/gadgets/toys to see if you can help put any (unbeliever) out of their misery.”

“Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the enemies of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom you may not know, but whom Allah knows.” (Qur’an 8:60)

“Tweets linked to ISIS target hurricane cities,” by Scott Zamost, CNBC, September 15, 2017:

Law enforcement officials have been advised to step up alerts for “lone wolf attackers” in Miami, Houston and other cities in the wake of threatening social media posts that appear to be connected to ISIS, according to an internal government intelligence document.

The confidential “situation awareness” document, obtained by CNBC, is dated Sept. 14 from the Homeland Security Bureau’s Southeast Florida Fusion Center. The center is the Miami-Dade Police Department’s Homeland Security Bureau. It was sent to law enforcement and “homeland security communities.”

“On Sept. 11, there was a twitter posting that appears to be authored by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) that threatens Washington, New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Miami and Las Vegas, the document states.

The posting said there were “a lot of opportunities for the Soldiers of Islamic state to target, the Question is When?”

The document, which is unclassified, mentions a Newsweek article dated Sept. 6 that cites another ISIS posting calling for attacks on Houston relief centers. The article said: “To all the (lone mujahids) in the U.S. (warrior), pop down to Houston and drop in at any of the relief centers housing displaced people from the Houston floods, make sure to bring lots of supplies/gadgets/toys to see if you can help put any (unbeliever) out of their misery.”

The document also states: “Another Jihadist, in Arabic writing said, ‘A historic hurricane will hit Florida, especially the city of Miami soon’ One that would leave an ‘international tragedy’ on American soil. He quotes Allah saying that a ‘roaring wind in the days of the snakes’ had been sent and makes use of a hurricane emoji.”…

Memphis Imam Raises Money For Islamic Charity Tied to Muslim Brotherhood

11

No surprise. Here is an astonishing anti-Jewish rant from Tennessee imam Yasir Qadhi. Qadhi tried to scrub it and another clip in which he said that the Christians were mushrikoon (those who worship others besides Allah) from the internet by filing a copyright claim with YouTube, but Charles Jacobs, who published the clip, filed a legal counter-notification and had it restored.

We are told we must “respect” this savagery. Anyone who respects this is a monster. Imam Yasir Qadhi lectured at the Boston jihad bombers’ mosque in April 2009, and has advocated replacing U.S. democracy with Islamic rule and called Christians.

“Memphis Imam Raises Money For Islamic Charity U.S. Congressman Says Has Ties to Muslim Brotherhood,” by Chris Alto, Tennessee Star, September 11, 2017:

Last week, Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, introduced an amendment to the State and Foreign Operations Appropriations Act blocking any U.S. funding to Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW). Between 2015 and 2016, IRW received $370,000 in federal funding.

DeSantis explained to the Free Beacon that:

U.S. tax dollars cannot go to groups involved in funding terrorism. Any group tied to Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood should be ineligible for funding. It is a slap in the face of the American taxpayer to allow such groups to receive federal funding.

Founded in 1984, IRW is headquartered in the UK but operates as a franchiser of sixteen charity affiliates comprising the largest Islamic charity in the West with revenues in the hundreds of millions. Islamic Relief USA (IRUSA), reputed to be one of the largest affiliate funders of IRW, is also inter-connected to IRW through leadership. For example, IRUSA’s former CEO, Abed Ayoub also served on the governance committee of the IRW.

Between 2012 and 2016, Memphis Imam Yasir Qadhi has been helping IRUSA raise money speaking at a dozen fundraising events. More recently, he undertook an eight-date tour in the UK to raise money for the parent organization IRW. Britain’s Charity Commission which regulates non-profits, questioned IRW’s decision to feature Qadhi, described by The Times as “a hardline Muslim preacher” who “has been recorded apparently telling students that killing homosexuals and stoning adulterers was part of their religion.”

(FYI, in 2010, Vanderbilt Muslim chaplain Awad Binhazim told students that Islamic law mandates capital punishment for homosexuality and that “as a Muslim he does not have a choice of whether to accept or reject what Islam teaches.”)

DeSantis, has good reason to be concerned. IRW was banned in Israel after a government report determined that the charity provided material support to “HAMAS’ infrastructure.” HAMAS is a U.S. designated terrorist organization. Gatestone Institute documented IRW’s receipt of funds from charities alleged to have ties to al Qaeda and allied terrorist groups. Gatestone also detailed connections between IRW’s leadership, the global Muslim Brotherhood, and other terror groups that have been designated by the U.S. and European governments.

In 2012, Swiss bank UBS closed IRW’s accounts and four years later, HSBC severed its ties to IRW out of concern that funds raised and transferred by IRW were helping to fund terrorism. In 2014, IRW was banned from operating in Israel while the United Arab Emirates blacklisted IRW, the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR also based on ties to terrorism.

Islamist groups including CAIR and IRW affiliate IRUSA launched a campaign opposing DeSantis’ measure which he withdrew on Thursday.

CAIR is a named unindicted co-conspirator in the largest U.S. terrorism financing prosecution related to the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development which was the largest Islamic charity in the U.S. until five of its officers were sent to prison for funneling $12 million to HAMAS. CAIR’s efforts to have its unindicted co-conspirator status removed in federal court only served to reaffirm that the evidence in court supported CAIR’s ties to HAMAS:

[t]he Government has produced ample evidence to establish the associations of CAIR, ISNA and NAIT with HLF [Holy Land Foundation], the Islamic Association for Palestine (“IAP”), and with Hamas

IRUSA was embraced by the Obama administration, partnering on relief efforts. In 2010, the CEO of IRUSA was officially advising the US Agency for International Development (USAID), one of the federal agencies passing money to IRUSA.

In 2013, the Clarion Project alleged that at least four IRUSA officials had ties to the Muslim Brotherhood; then president and board chairman Mohamed Amr Attawia is listed in a 1991 phone directory of Muslim Brotherhood leaders that was introduced into evidence during the Holy Land Foundation prosecution. He remains a director of IRUSA. Others in IRUSA’s leadership have ties to Egypt and overthrown President Mohamed Morsi who was elected to bring the Muslim Brotherhood into power….

{rickwells.us} ~ In the clip before the interview starts, President Trump is heard modifying his previous position of the wall “will come later” to “if we don’t have the wall we’re doing nothing.”... It’s not a consistent statement on its face. From the sounds of that adjustment by President Trump, the wall is now part of any DACA Package. That was not the original White House position. The statement by Marc Short, President Trump’s Director of Legislative Affairs, indicated the opposite was the position of the administration, not to tie amnesty to the border wall. Shortly after the announcement by clown-Schumer and Pulosi that they had gotten everything they wanted in amnesty concessions in their dinnertime deal with President Trump and that it was now just a matter of putting it on paper and having the vote, Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued an early correction...  https://rickwells.us/king-amnesty-daca-stay-shadows/

Holding Trump accountable -- for our own good

by DAVID LIMBAUGH
{wnd.com} ~ What is Donald Trump up to, and what are his supporters to do? Is Trump betraying his supporters, or are clown-Chuck, Nancy and the media misrepresenting his position?

For the hundredth time, I supported Ted Cruz, not Trump, for the GOP presidential nomination. But when Trump was victorious, I supported him against liar-Hillary Clinton, and I have no regrets about that because though Trump sometimes disappoints, liar-Clinton would have been a wholesale nightmare. Even in hindsight, it’s not a close call.

I have also criticized a small fraction of conservative pundits for their seemingly obsessive knee-jerk opposition to Trump and their apparent glee when he sometimes lives down to their expectations. My main objection to some never-Trumpers is their gratuitous piling on and apparent joy in doing so, even on unfair allegations, such as those of pre-election collusion with Russia. None of us should be motivated by bragging rights – the dubious satisfaction of saying “I told you so,” especially when the interests of the nation hang in the balance.

Since the primaries, I have hoped that despite my doubts about Trump’s allegiance to certain conservative principles, he would be able to advance a conservative agenda more than a centrist Republican could or would. This is not because he is a so-called outsider but mainly because he has shown a willingness to fight. Whatever else you might say about the Republican Party, it has lost its backbone, particularly on budget battles.

But the courage to fight is meaningless unless you are willing to fight for the right things. Given Trump’s general non-ideological bent, why should his feistiness give us any solace?

Good question.

Well, Trump campaigned mostly as a conservative, and if the campaign showed him anything, it is that leftists – no matter what he may have learned living his entire life in liberal New York City – are his sworn enemies. If he hadn’t chosen sides before, he had no choice now. If he hadn’t been paying much attention to ideological issues before, he surely was learning now and becoming more conservative in the process.

No, I had no illusions that Trump had converted overnight to constitutional conservatism, but I was hopeful that he would make significant strides in rolling back Barack liar-nObama’s agenda. I sincerely want to hold on to that optimism.

Recently, however, Trump has given many of his supporters pause – including even some of the die-hardiest of the die-hards. Others in his camp are impervious to any evidence Trump is faltering or is capable of it. Still others define what is good by whatever Trump does, just as some define what is bad by whatever he does, and those types are unreachable anyway.

A debate has emerged among certain Trump supporters over whether he has betrayed them by cozying up to Democratic leaders or he is playing some elaborate version of 4-D chess. Those unfazed by Trump’s two-step with Pulosi and clown-Schumer are ecstatic that he is finally taking it to Ryan and McConnell. But it will be a cold day in Hades before I rejoice in Trump’s humiliating establishment Republicans when it comes at the price of abandoning his campaign pledges and a mainstream conservative agenda. Let’s not lose our heads.

Admittedly, political analysis is difficult in such a chaotic, convoluted, paradigm-shifting environment. The stakes are enormously high. There are many moving parts. Political constituencies are more fluid than they’ve been in decades. And there is an unusually high level of intramural tension in the Republican Party. Arguably, even the conservative movement is experiencing an identity crisis, with chest thumpers from all sides claiming they are the true conservatives and everyone else is a fraud.

For me, the jury is still out. Yes, Trump is making me nervous sometimes. Reports of his vacillation wouldn’t bother me so much except for his history of sympathy for certain liberal issues, his basic non-ideological bent, his desire for personal approval, his focus on the deal-making process as distinguished from the goals to be achieved in the deals and the presence in his inner circle of socially liberal influencers. How, then, can we not be uneasy when we read that Trump’s tax cuts will punish the “wealthy,” that he’s abandoning his opposition to amnesty or his commitment to the wall and that he’s losing interest in undoing the Iranian nuclear deal?

You feel me?

I don’t want to rush to judgment and prefer to believe that Trump will quit going wobbly and make course adjustments back toward those who brought him to the dance. For the record, I happen to believe that those who brought him to the dance are essentially conservatives – not populists, racists or political cultists.

I never want to pile on Trump with those malevolently motivated to destroy him. But his opponents’ bad faith must not blind us to his missteps or silence us about his policy betrayals, should they occur. Political leaders must be held accountable, sometimes on a daily basis. This is for their own good, as well as the nation’s.

Just this week, we read reports of Trump’s alleged deals with Democrats, and within a few hours, after significant blowback from Trump supporters, he raced to Twitter and public microphones to assure us he isn’t fishtailing on the wall.

At this point, it’s difficult to tell whether the media reports were completely fallacious about Trump’s caving or he actually did an immediate 180. Either way, we got strong and expeditious clarification – and that can only be healthy.

If Trump’s supporters don’t ever criticize him for fear of strengthening the position of his opponents, then he might just strengthen the position of his opponents on his own initiative. Trump is an old hand at business, but he is new at the game of politics, and the more constructive feedback he gets the better his governance will be.

'Anti-Fascist' Fascists Fail to Stop Jewish 
Speech at Berkeley
JmQZbzvUKHsqb0yKEwVA7Sm7G8L9Of8rO6QzNac40PzP12Ez_EuRdWe9F9YLaiUqHB2PsN9BPosz50a50nEDQpaDEybi9NYVbQnOdWt4Wks78r_gKNif7MbnrlSyxuY=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=500by Nate Jackson:  As we noted earlier this week, the University of California-Berkeley was ramping up security in anticipation of “antifa” (read: fascist) violence at a speech by conservative writer Ben Shapiro. In a statement last week, the school declared, “No one should be made to feel threatened or harassed simply because of who they are or for what they believe.” Of course, the university was not referring to conservative speakers but to snowflake students. The statement prefaced that declaration with this: “We are deeply concerned about the impact some speakers may have on individuals’ sense of safety and belonging.” In fact, “support services are being offered and encouraged.” That means counseling for students “offended” by the mere presence of a differing viewpoint. Or maybe the school wants to help fascists who hate Jews like Shapiro.

          Well, thanks to riot police on hand, six buildings shut down, a perimeter of blockades, checks of all ticket holders and an estimated $600,000 spent on security, Shapiro was actually allowed to speak without much incident Thursday night. How astounding that such is the cost of free speech at a public university in America.
          In other Berkeley news, the university was just awarded a $100,000 grant from the National Park Service to compile historical information intended to “honor the legacy” of the Black Panther Party. Yes, that would be the racist and Marxist revolutionary group that the FBI describes as having “advocated the use of violence and guerilla tactics to overthrow the U.S. government.” According to the funding announcement, the “cooperative research project … is anchored in historical methods, visual culture, and the preservation of sites and voices.” Who’s in charge at the Park Service? Michael Reynolds, one of Barack liar-nObama’s many holdovers.
          With this kind of garbage passing for “higher education” at these bastions of leftist indoctrination and intolerance, is it any wonder that enrollments and budgets are falling short?

{defenddemocracy.org} ~ Sixteen years after the 9/11 attacks and the onset of the “war on terror,” the jihadist movement has grown stronger in almost every measurable way. Jihadists enjoy more safe havens throughout the globe... control more territory, are at the forefront of more insurgencies, and have achieved more popular support than they did 16 years ago. The pace and lethality of terrorist attacks in Europe represents something of a nightmare scenario, with hundreds of Europeans dying in the past three years. ISIS’s mobilization of foreign fighters creates a looming security issue across dozens of countries that will have to deal with returning fighters. While the factors leading us to this alarming state of affairs are many—including ill-conceived foreign adventures  and critical misreadings by analysts at key junctures, including the lead-up to the Iraq war and early on the Arab uprisings—we cannot overlook how technological advances have provided terrorists with significant new opportunities... http://www.defenddemocracy.org/media-hit/terrorists-are-using-drones-now-and-thats-not-the-worst-of-it/

Flushed with cash, Tehran has embarked on an ambitious military build-up that dwarfs the military budget of Israel, a country Iranian Mullahs threaten to annihilate.

Civics Ignorance Is Enormous Threat to Constitution
OftlMPkn2EFMdpZaQEnQLifSlhzZnNdnna53xOcznt0Z4m_-tzybrw3oKtq0Muw5hbNsMGhjpAmN6CdQdnFXquicsptlCRaNFOnTfxFbA9KY9QtaYunGxBJUe3KKQZk=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=500by Brian Mark Weber:  During a year in which national politics has dominated the 24-hour news cycle, one might think Americans are more in touch with the Constitution than ever before. But the reality is just the opposite. As we approach the 230th anniversary of the ratification of our Constitution on Sept. 17, we should consider mourning the document’s demise as much as celebrating its relevance after so many years. Brace yourselves: The numbers aren’t pretty.

          According to the Annenberg Public Policy Center, “Only 26 percent of respondents can name the three branches of government, the same result as last year. People who identified themselves as conservatives were significantly more likely to name all three branches correctly than liberals and moderates. The 26 percent total was down significantly from APPC’s first survey on this question, in 2011, when 38 percent could name all three. In the current survey, 33 percent could not name any of the three branches, the same as in 2011.”

You might say it’s not a big problem if citizens aren’t able to identify the three branches of government as long as they’re aware of their basic rights. After all, we’ve witnessed plenty of protests across the country in recent years made up of disgruntled and badly parented youthdemanding their rights, so they must know what’s in the Constitution, right?
          Unfortunately, when it comes to the rights enshrined in the Constitution, the numbers are even worse. As the APPC poll reveals, “Nearly half of those surveyed (48 percent) say that freedom of speech is a right guaranteed by the First Amendment. But, unprompted, 37 percent could not name any First Amendment rights. And far fewer people could name the other First Amendment rights: 15 percent of respondents say freedom of religion; 14 percent say freedom of the press; 10 percent say the right of assembly; and only 3 percent say the right to petition the government.” Your eyes aren’t deceiving you. Nearly 40% of all Americans surveyed couldn’t name a single right in the First Amendment.
          We don’t need a citizenry made up of constitutional experts, but how can we expect voters to make informed decisions if they know next to nothing about our system of government or their rights under the Constitution? How can we as Americans ever hope to protect our cherished rights if we don’t even know what they are?
          Rather than keeping an eye on those in power and making sure that they’re protecting our Constitution, we’re blind to what’s happening in the halls of whatever that branch is that makes laws. One of the consequences of our hyper-political mindset is that those who do know what’s in our Constitution often take advantage of the masses by proposing ideas that are clearly in violation of that same document.
          We’d like to think that our middle schools, high schools, and even colleges and universities are providing students with at least a basic understanding of our government and Constitution. Educating young citizens is perhaps the most critical part of ensuring that future generations will be ready to protect and defend our nation’s ideals and principles.
          The problem is that many schools either don’t teach civics, or teach it the wrong way, or teach it in a politicized manner. Compounding this, universities today are more interested in turning students into political activists than knowledgeable citizens who value the ideals upon which our country was founded. As a result, Americans have a lot to say about “rights” that their teachers and professors have conjured up, but they know nothing about the rights in the Constitution.
          But let’s not put all of this on our education system. During turbulent times in our nation’s past, we took solace in knowing that those in power were there to defend our sacred documents. Not today. In 2012, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said, “I would not look to the U.S. Constitution if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012.”
          And in 2014, Barack liar-nObama told the United Nations General Assembly that “on issue after issue, we cannot rely on a rule book written for a different century,” a clear allusion to the Constitution that leftists believe is outdated and places too many restrictions on government power.
          It seems that year after year we predict the demise of the Constitution, but as its anniversary approaches, perhaps we should look for a glimmer of hope. There are new initiatives springing up around the country that encourage the teaching of civics and require students to pass a civics examination.
          Over the years, we in our humble shop have distributed more than one million pocket Constitutions toward the end of educating our fellow citizens.
          And just this year, President Donald Trump appointed a constitutionalist to the Supreme Court in Neil Gorsuch, and there may be more to follow in the coming years. But a more constructionist Supreme Court is just a start; we have to prepare a new generation to stand up for the Constitution not only in government but also throughout society.
          While the recent downward trend in knowledge about our Constitution is troubling, we cannot surrender our solemn obligation to support and defend a document whose ideas have blessed us for 230 years. As our Founders overcame great obstacles in ratifying the Constitution, we too must remain steadfast in educating our citizenry. Only then can we support and defend the framework of our republican system of government and our precious natural rights.  ~The Patriot Post

Dem IT Scandal Takes a liar-Clintonesque Turn
PUZ5OzMixFxISODI3HI6jkHV27oA1_Kn_acVOjXjeoRqKMsBooe-yhsxAk1pScOUuopnfjqA-s9pfWQ0iY0seuqSBaxpa3AW1zadenMP1v5qdQBMBPnVMLdu1x8d4Q8=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=550 by Jordan Candler:  Democrats — particularly Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz — have stated rather unequivocally that the House IT scandal is just empty rhetoric. Yet the story continues to deepen and the questions grow larger with every new revelation. What has become clear is that Democrats, whether it be liar-Hillary Clinton, Wasserman Schultz or possibly others, have mastered the art of using undisclosed servers to conceal inconvenient truths and back-channel shenanigans.

          A new report reveals that extensive information involving 45 House Democrats was intercepted by Wasserman Schultz’s former IT assistant, Imran Awan — a Paskistani man who was indicted last month along with his co-conspirator wife, Hina Alvi — and stored inside a clandestine server. When Capitol Police suspected something nefarious was going on — beginning initially with a probe into erroneous purchase orders — they asked for a copy of the server’s data. But rather than provide an unadulterated copy, Awan instead handed over a fake replica to conceal whatever covert operation they had going on.
          At that point, Capitol Police cut off Awan’s authorization to the House network. (Or did they?) However, the information on the server was also uploaded to Dropbox, which congressional rules stipulate cannot be used. Awan and Alvi currently face fraud charges, but, quite strangely, not for the reasons listed above.
          Those charges stem ostensibly from their sending cash to Pakistan after their shenanigans were unveiled. (Recall that Alvi jetted off to Pakistan, and Awan nearly did too.) So what’s the holdup regarding charges for the far more serious allegations? One reason is probably related to the “victims” in the Democrat Party. Reports suggest the Pakistani duo — who, remember, also used Dropbox, meaning sensitive information may have been retrieved outside the House network — have leverage over lawmakers. If Democrats begin handing over evidence to investigators, there’s no telling what kind of ugly, damning, self-detrimental information will be unleashed.
          There’s also the question of what kind of help Awan and Alvi may have had on the inside. We know Wasserman Schultz was disgraceful as former head of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and she stunningly employed Awan for as long as she possibly could. Moreover, former congressman and House Democrat Caucus chairman Rep. Xavier Becerra has had dealings with the couple dating back as early as 2004. And according to an anonymous official, “They were using the House Democratic Caucus as their central service warehouse.” Amusingly, this same official rhetorically wondered, “Does it mean it was sold to the Russians? I don’t know.”
          Don’t bet on it. Wasserman Schultz is clearly hiding something regarding her obsession with Awan, not to mention she colluded against Bernie Sanders in last year’s Democrat primary. So unless she wants to admit she colluded with the Russians, then there has to be another answer. Her response to the matter is alarmingly similar to the deplorable behavior shown by liar-Hillary Clinton, who utilized her own private, unsecure server to quite literally cleanse her transgressions and bolster her political future. It all culminates into more evidence that 2016 election investigators are barking up the wrong tree.  ~The Patriot Post

Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., introduced the bill along with Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Dean Heller of Nevada, and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. Supporters hope the bill can be passed through the reconciliation, would need just 50 votes to advance and pass in the Senate, assuming a tie-breaking vote by Vice President Pence. Reconciliation is a budget measure that allows passage with a simple majority rather than the 60 votes needed to block a filibuster.

No Amnesty Is Good Amnesty

{reedomsback.com} ~ Donald Trump is being told that amnesty for “Dreamers,” or DACA recipients, will only apply to a small, narrowly defined group of totally innocent, eminently deserving illegal immigrants, who were brought to this country “through no fault of their own” as “children.” (Children who are up to 36 years old.)

Every syllable of that claim is a lie, and I can prove it.

To see how DACA will actually work, let’s look at another extremely limited amnesty that was passed in 1986.

Farmers wanted temporary guest-worker permits for their cheap labor, so that they could continue pretending that the Industrial Revolution never happened and refuse to mechanize. And, boy, did that work! We haven’t heard a peep about “crops rotting in the fields” since then.

The agricultural amnesty was supposed to apply to — at most — 350,000 illegal aliens. It would be available only to illegals who were currently in the country doing the back-breaking farm work that no American would do. Without them, crops would wither on the vine. They were saving us from starvation!

Talk about deserving. Are any Dreamers saving us from starvation?

But instead of guest-worker permits, then-Rep. Charles clown-Schumer — from the lush farmland of Brooklyn — decided to grant full amnesty to any illegals who had done farm work for at least 90 days in the previous year.

That’s pretty restrictive, isn’t it?

In the end, “up to 350,000 farm workers” turned into 1.3 million.

Oh well, what are you going to do? No use worrying — let’s just move forward and get all these people voter registration cards!

This innocent little amnesty for a small, clearly defined group of illegals quickly became amnesty for anyone who applied. The same thing will happen with any other amnesty, no matter how strictly the law is written. And it won’t be written strictly.

In the first few years of the agricultural amnesty, internal Immigration and Naturalization Service statistics showed that 888,637 legalization applications were fraudulent. According to immigration agents, “farm workers” stated in their interviews that cotton was purple or that they had pulled cherries from the ground.

Of the 888,637 fraudulent applications, guess how many our government approved. Answer: More than 800,000.

The agricultural amnesty was so carefully administered that not one, but TWO of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers were in this country because of it. More on that in another column.

The main problem with the farm worker amnesty, the DACA amnesty or any amnesty is that everyone involved in the entire immigration apparatus is feverishly working, on the taxpayer’s dime, to transform this country into a Third World hellhole. Lawyers for La Raza and lawyers for the government both believe it is their mission to humiliate and destroy white Christian America. Actually, this country is “biracial Christian America,” plus a few Amerindians and anyone else who assimilated to Western European culture.

There are multitudes of them, and they will never, ever stop.

Congress could pass a law granting amnesty to any 7-foot-tall, left-handed, red-headed illegal aliens from Lichtenstein — and hundreds of left-wing outfits would instantly set to work, demanding amnesty for witch doctors, cannibals, pederasts, terrorists and the rest of the multicultural universe that makes America so vibrant.

On the other side of the application process would be government immigration bureaucrats who either used to work at La Raza, or hope to in the future.

On the off chance that some particularly risible amnesty application is denied by a stodgy rules-follower in our immigration bureaucracy, that denial will be litigated before a federal judge in Hawaii, then appealed to the Ninth Circuit.

For two decades after the 1986 amnesty, the federal courts were tied up with dozens of class-action lawsuits brought on behalf of illegal aliens — regular illegal aliens, farm worker illegal aliens and still-in-Mexico illegal aliens — challenging every aspect of the law.

Is that how American tax dollars should be spent? On endless litigation, brought by America-hating activists on behalf of people who have no right to be in our country and decided by Democrat-appointed judges? Who are also America-hating activists.

And when their work is done, there will be a lot more Democrat-appointed judges because there will be a lot more Democrats.

Lawyers sued over everything — the absence of Creole interpreters, the requirement that illegals have proof of prior farm work and the rare denials of amnesty. Congress desperately tried passing laws that would prevent courts from hearing these cases — all to no avail. Left-wing lawyers just had to pick the right judge, and they won.

In 2005 — nearly 20 years after the 1986 amnesty — the Ninth Circuit was still granting amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who claimed they had been unfairly denied because they were not in the country for the first amnesty. Seriously.

No matter how the law is written, as long as anyone is eligible for amnesty, everybody’s getting amnesty.

President Trump is the last president who will ever have a chance to make the right decision on immigration. After this, it’s over. The boat will have sailed.

If he succeeds, all the p@ssy-grabbing and Russia nonsense will burn off like a morning fog. He will be the president who saved the American nation, its character, its sovereignty, its core identity. But if he fails, Donald Trump will go down in history as the man who killed America.

Dems Ignoring Their Menendez Problem

Bob Menendez’s bribery and fraud trial gets under way, the New Jersey Democrat’s colleagues are quietly distancing themselves from the issue and seemingly pretending that he doesn’t even exist. Much of the mainstream media has also been rather quiet on the story, with some news outlets declining to even mention the fact that Menendez is a Democrat.

          Menendez and his wealthy friend, Dr. Salomon Melgen, have been charged with 18 counts of bribery and fraud. Both have maintained their innocence, but Melgen was already convicted of Medicaid fraud earlier this year. Needless to say its not looking good for either defendant, and Democrats know this. It certainly is not helpful for the Democrat Party brand, though it is at least consistent.
          If the story was about a Democrat House representative, then the situation might not be as damaging to Democrats, but Menendez is a senator from New Jersey. And should he be found guilty and removed from office it would fall to New Jersey’s Republican governor, Chris Christie, to choose someone to fill the vacancy. And Christie is well within his rights to choose a fellow Republican, further strengthening the GOP’s slim Senate majority.
          The reality is that the Democrats have a problem, and ignoring it won’t make it go away.  ~The Patriot Post

Many were but it’s not required, they just had to be illegals in the US before the age of 16 in some manner. They could have been drug mules who ran away from home. It’s good enough, don’t ask, don’t tell. He also points out the exaggeration of claims they’re all college-bound high school grads or military personnel. All that’s actually required is that the person enroll in a high school course or an alternative, including online courses and ESL classes. Under 900 active military are “Dreamers.”... https://rickwells.us/mark-levin-trump-amnesty/

{lidblog.com} ~ Senate Minority Leader Chuck clown-Schumer evidently hasn’t visited a gas station this year. If he had, he’d realize that his recent diatribe against the oil industry is based on a complete fiction... During a recent television appearance, Sen. clown-Schumer lamented that “gas prices are sticky. You know when the price for oil goes up on the markets, it goes right up, but it never goes down.” New York’s senior senator further claimed that big energy companies are stifling competition to keep prices high. These assertions are patently false, as anyone who has refueled his vehicle or paid a utility bill lately can attest. Our domestic energy boom has resulted in some of the lowest gasoline and electricity prices Americans have seen in decades... http://lidblog.com/chuck-schumer-price-gas/

The Option Play

{townhall.com} ~ What just happened? President Trump cut a deal with Democrats to pay for hurricane damage relief and raise the debt ceiling without getting anything in return, except the temporary avoidance of a government shutdown. How to describe this? Was it a sellout, or a pragmatic act?

It's football season again, so let's call this deal the "option play." It isn't used much by today's professional players, but the play is designed to give a quarterback the option of running the ball, or, if he sees he can't make it through the defensive line, toss it to a player trailing behind him in an effort to gain yards.

President Trump might consider these options in an effort to push through his agenda.

Apparently having grown tired of Republican ineptitude for failing to repeal and replace liar-nObamacare, or do much else with their majorities in the House and Senate, other than to think up new excuses for their failures, the debt ceiling deal might give the president wiggle room to demand concessions from Democrats. The danger is that Democrats may not feel the need to compromise if they believe they can win concessions from a president who does not have an ideological core.

The second option might be to embarrass Republicans sufficiently to force them to unify and pass a true Republican agenda. That used to include lower taxes, smaller government and reducing the debt through less spending and economic growth. I'm not betting on this option.

Option three would be to put incumbent Republicans in such a bind that primary challengers next year could defeat "moderates" and others who failed to live up to their campaign promises. How many Republicans could successfully campaign on a platform of "re-elect me, because I accomplished nothing and opposed the president"?

There's also an option the Republican majority hasn't tried. Rush Limbaugh mentioned it on his radio program: "If just at any time in the past six months, or anytime in the next six, if for just three months Ryan and McConnell would work with Trump to advance his agenda, they would own everything for who knows how long. If they would have repealed and replaced liar-nObamacare, if they would have then moved on to tax cuts and ... real tax reform, and if they had built the wall. ... If those three things had serious action with an appearance of unity within the Republican Party on those issues, the Democrats wouldn't stand a prayer for 25 years."

Too many Republicans remain embarrassed that Trump won. He would never be allowed to join their inner circle whose mantra appears to be "when the going gets tough, the weak surrender without a fight." For these Republicans, principles have been replaced by pragmatism.

Trump's deal with Democrats excluded the children of "undocumented" immigrants. Perhaps the president could allow DACA kids to remain in the country in exchange for money to build the wall. But why should Democrats compromise when they get what they want anyway?

Democrats have a problem of their own after doing a deal with a president they have reviled and ridiculed since he announced his candidacy. If the president is giving them what they want, how do Democrats run against him in next year's congressional elections?

The deal Trump made with Democrats expires in 90 days. Will Chuck clown-Schumer and Nancy Pulosi use an option they have successfully employed in the past to win more concessions from the president? It's called the Christmas option, and it is designed to smear Republicans as "heartless" politicians who would harm children by not giving in to Democrats' demands.

President Trump has broken a legislative logjam. The question now is what happens next? That question goes not so much to Democrats as to the Republican leadership. It's their option now.

Disgusting, Fake Republican McCain Sponsors Bill to Block Trump’s Transgender Ban

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has signed on to a new bill to be introduced Friday by Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, to block President Trump’s order to ban transgender military service.

The stand-alone bill, which is also co-sponsored by Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., the top Armed Services Democrat, has the same language as an amendment proposed by Gillibrand and Collins this week for the National Defense Authorization Act that would prohibit the military from barring service based on gender. That amendment never received a floor vote due to a dispute between Republicans and Democrats over debate of the NDAA.

“Any member of the military who meets the medical and readiness standards should be allowed to serve — including those who are transgender,” McCain said in a statement.

Gillibrand, D-N.Y., who is the ranking member of the Armed Services military personnel subcomittee, said she and Collins have not given up the effort to block Trump from instituting his new policy.

“Thousands of brave transgender Americans love our country enough to risk their lives for it, fight for it, and even die for it, and Congress should honor them and let them serve,” she said. “Doing otherwise would only harm our readiness at a time when our military is deployed around the world in defense of our country.” (Read more from “Disgusting, Fake Republican McCain Sponsors Bill to Block Trump’s Transgender Ban” HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/09/disgusting-fake-republican-mccain-sponsors-bill-block-trumps-tran

Emails: Hillary Clinton Invited Putin to Clinton Foundation Gala

Just two months into her term as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton’s foundation invited Russian leader Vladimir Putin, along with several other prominent heads of state, to the Clinton Global Initiative’s 2009 annual gathering, emails obtained by the watchdog group Judicial Watch reveal.

The March 13, 2009, email from the Clinton Foundation showed that Putin and about 200 other leaders (including others just as controversial) were invited to attend a gathering that occurred at about the same time that the newly appointed secretary of state was attempting a “reset” with Moscow.

The email, which was sent from Clinton Foundation director of foreign policy Amitabh Desai to Assistant Secretary of State Andrew Shapiro and then forwarded to top Clinton aide Jake Sullivan, also highlights the potential massive conflict of interest between a non-profit foundation and the federal government.

This may come as a shock to casual observers of global politics, as Clinton represented herself as a fierce anti-Putin hawk on the 2016 election campaign trail. Clinton routinely reprimanded now-President Donald Trump for not condemning Putin. She called Trump’s stance on Russia “unseemly” and “beyond one’s imagination.”

Even after losing the election, Clinton has continued on the warpath against President Trump’s stance on Russia.

“He doesn’t just like Putin, he wants to be like Putin,” Clinton said of Trump on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow show Thursday night.

But as secretary of state, Clinton took pains to engage with the Kremlin. Just one week prior to sending out the invites, Hillary flew to Geneva and presented the Russian foreign minister with an actual “reset button” to symbolize a new beginning in U.S.-Russia relations.

She’s also been accused of profiting off of the relationship with Russia. One year after inviting Putin to the Clinton Foundation event, she approved the sale of 20 percent of America’s uranium capacity to Russia. Shortly thereafter, donors connected to the company that was sold to Russia contributed $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation.

Beyond the Putin invite, many serious conflicts of interests arose from the sitting secretary of state’s invite list.

Judicial Watch explains further:

The list includes dignitaries from Saudi Arabia, which gave $14.5 million to the Clinton Foundation; Kuwait, which gave between $5 and $10 million; Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar — all of which donated between $1 and $5 million over the years. In February 2015, the Washington Post reported, “A third of foundation donors who have given more than $1 million are foreign governments or other entities … and foreign donors make up more than half of those who have given more than $5 million.”

Americans Are More Secular — 
What That Means for Liberty

Hurricane Relief: Brought to You by Fossil Fuels

by Caroline Camden Lewis:  In recent weeks, the nation has watched those in Texas and Florida experience major hurricanes, complete with horrific rains and devastating winds, damaging homes, vehicles and even taking lives. No one can deny the heroism of the first responders and regular Americans who have aided their neighbors in the midst of disaster. In addition, one industry has helped the rescue and recovery more than any other: the fossil fuel industry. Powering helicopters, generators and utility vehicles, fossil fuels continue to save the lives of those affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.

          In south Texas, diesel (or jet fuel) helicopters rescued people from their rooftops. Commercial planes, utilizing jet engine fuel, transported refugees from Houston to Dallas for shelter and food. Diesel-powered firetrucks and ambulances rushed to the aid of people, as did the National Guard and the Air Force’s diesel and jet-engine powered planes. After the waters receded volunteers drove their gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles to render aid to those in need.
          When the power lines were down and parts of Texas and Florida lacked electricity, back-up generators, powered by diesel, natural gas or LP fuel gave electricity to apartment residents, and patients in hospitals, many for whom a power outage could be deadly as patients on ventilators and dialysis require electricity. (The eight people who died at a Florida nursing home without air conditioning attest to this.)
          As Texas and Florida rebuild their damaged cities, they continue to clear the road of debris using diesel-powered cranes and heavy equipment. They use gasoline-powered chainsaws to cut apart the fallen trees blocking the roads and diesel-powered trucks to haul it off. Utility companies use diesel-powered construction equipment to dig deep holes to plant new poles for power lines and stand in diesel-powered cranes to attach the wires.
          Hungry evacuees ate bread and peanut butter farmed by diesel-powered farm equipment, slept on cotton blankets harvested by diesel-powered equipment and drank bottled water produced in factories that use fuel not only to run their machines but to create the plastic bottles.
          In addition, cell phones, computers and technology equipment have helped to keep people connected, and provided advanced warning systems to help people evacuate or take shelter. And fossil fuels? The microchip, the defining element of all computers and cellphones, is made from silica, a mineral mined by diesel-powered mining equipment.
          Fossil fuel divestment campaigns, which seek to destroy the energy industry, advocate for people, corporations and endowments to sell their stock in petroleum-based industries. They shout slogans like “People over Profit” and claim divestment as a moral obligation. Yet they ignore the reality of how fossil fuels, not divestment campaigns, put people over profit by saving lives. How we steward our resources to preserve human life stands as both the truly compassionate approach to putting people over profit and the greater moral obligation.
          Some may say, “Great, but we are saving lives at the expense of the environment,” as if we must choose between the environment and saving lives with fossil fuels. However, according to Forbes magazine, air pollution in the U.S. has declined 72% since 1970, in spite of a 47% total increase in energy use during the same span. That’s because our technological advances have improved fuel-efficiency and cleaner internal machinery, causing less petroleum waste by-products in the air.
          While wind, solar-powered and electric equipment certainly have their place, their functionality is no match for the fossil fuel-powered equipment that has literally saved lives in recent weeks. No solar-powered chainsaws or helicopters saved the day. Technological advances, research and innovation should continue to take place, and we should always strive to create new products that help make our world a better place. But we should not forget the debt of gratitude that we owe to the petroleum industry for fueling our greatest needs in our time of disaster.

{rickwells.us} ~ President Trump acknowledged on Thursday that he is working with Chuck clown-Schumer and Nancy Pulosi on an amnesty plan for the illegal alien sub-category they like to romantically identify as “Dreamers.”... President Trump also confirmed that he will not require that funding for a border wall be included as part of the deal, saying that “will come later.” Really? We’ve seen how elusive later can be when it comes to border security. The border fence was approved in 2006 and only minimally constructed under open borders George W. Bush and Michael “Skeletor” Chertoff. It was obviously never even given a thought by liar-nObama. Pardon us for not accepting a border wall I.O.U. as the same thing as its completed construction, Mr. President. Would the Democrats and the illegals you now seem determined to pander to be so willing to accept an I.O.U. for their amnesty?...  https://rickwells.us/trump-trust-border-wall/

Americans Are More Secular — What That Means
for Liberty

by Thomas Gallatin:  Are Americans becoming less religious, or, more specifically, are we becoming less Christian? The answer seems to be yes. As we approach Constitution Day this Sunday, this new reality has implications for American Liberty.

          According to data from a new survey released last week by the Public Religion Research Institute, a study of more than 100,000 Americans across the nation found that the number of those who call themselves “religious and spiritual” has declined from 59% in 2012 to 48%. Currently, just 43% of white Americans claim to be Christians and only 30% Protestants. In 1976, the numbers were 81% Christian with 55% Protestant. That’s clearly a significant drop in one generation.
          PRRI found that the decline in religious observance among Americans is highest in young Americans. The non-religious or “nones” now make up 34% of all Americans under the age of 30. And young Americans who are religious and identify as Christians are a shrinking percentage. Interestingly, among religiously unaffiliated Americans, a minority (only 27%) claim to be either agnostic or atheist. It’s interesting that most Americans who identify as secular and non-religious aren’t willing to entirely reject religious beliefs.
          Part of the problem with surveys like this is the fact that people’s definitions for what makes someone a Christian are constantly evolving. Hence the common delimiters such as Protestant vs. Catholic, mainline vs. evangelical, denominational vs. non-denominational, and so on. To make matters even more confusing, racial delimiters have been added.
          So, the bigger question is what’s the point behind publishing this data? Why is it important to track America’s religious trends? Much of the answer lies in America’s unique religious history — a Christian religious history — and its significant impact upon the foundation of this great nation.
          Looking back on America’s historical roots, one theme becomes quite evident early on. America was a place — the place — of refuge for the persecuted. It is well documented that the Pilgrims traversed the Atlantic in the Mayflower out of a desperate hope to make it to the New World where they would have the opportunity to worship God freely in accordance with their religious convictions. This spirit of religious liberty was in many ways the spark that ignited the nation’s founding. Even though not all the Founding Fathers were Christians, they all acknowledged the central, significant and important role religion played in establishing a stable and enduring republic. And not just any religion, but Christianity in particular.
          “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people,” wrote John Adams. “It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
          When the 13 colonies declared their independence from British rule, they justified their rebellion by appealing to an authority greater than that of the king — the highest authority of all, God. There is no question that the Declaration of Independence overtly appeals to religious truth as the key to our human rights. It’s a truth our Founding Fathers held to be “self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” Those Rights were eloquently summarized by three concrete concepts: “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
          The Founding Fathers recognized that the rights of people are not a creation of government, rather they are a manifestation of common human dignity and value endowed by our Creator. The government’s role first and foremost is to protect its citizens by protecting their rights. The whole reason these rights were enumerated in the Constitution was to explicitly limit the power of government to strip citizens of their God-given rights.
          We can break down our concern about the decline of religious affiliation into two categories. First, it leads to a loss of human freedom. By necessity the more secular a society becomes, the larger and more authoritative and restrictive the government becomes. We have glaring examples of this truth over the past century in countries where communism took control. When God is removed from a recognized place of ultimate moral authority, then all that’s left to fill that void is human power, resulting in some form of totalitarian government — rule of men rather than Rule of Law.
          As evidenced by the rise of groups like antifa, there are those who would seek to shut down the free speech of others as a means of gaining greater power and authority over them. They wouldn’t flinch at limiting the rights of those with whom they  disagree.
          Second, it leads to an increasing loss of human dignity. We see this in America’s culture war over abortion and the celebration and forced acceptance of deviant behavior like homosexuality and transgenderism. Truth about humanity is also increasingly becoming a scarce commodity, where people are taught to value their feelings above objective reality. This lends itself to ridiculous notions like having “safe spaces” to protect people from ideas with which they don’t agree.
          In short, the reason for concern about a growing secularism in America is the implications it has on our cultural understanding of “unalienable rights.” The fewer number of people believing in and recognizing the authority of God, from whom we all receive our rights and dignity, the more imperiled our Liberty becomes.
          The reality is that Christianity is in America’s DNA. It’s the country’s moral backbone. The nation as we know it and the individual freedoms that we are privileged to enjoy would soon collapse and disappear should that moral foundation be removed. That is why the survey numbers are troubling. But as all Christians know, our ultimate hope rests not in men. We pray for our nation, we love neighbors and help those in need, we speak the truth and we entrust ourselves to our Savior, Jesus Christ.   ~The Patriot Post

Insiders Confirm State Dept's Benghazi Cover-up

by National Security Desk:  Torres Advanced Enterprise Solutions (TAES) security contractors Brad Owens and Jerry Torres (company CEO) told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson of their dealings with liar-Hillary Clinton’s State Department both before and after the deadly 2012 Benghazi attack. By these two men’s account, safety protocols were botched from the get-go. Moreover, Fox News reports, “Asked if there was a specific effort by a senior State Department contracting officer to silence them, Torres said, ‘Absolutely, absolutely.’”

          Some background: In 2012, TAES was among the groups vying for the State Department’s security contract in Benghazi, but the contract was initially given to The Blue Mountain Group due to its more appealing operating costs. According to Owens, “Blue Mountain U.K. is a teeny, tiny, little security company registered in Wales that had never had a diplomatic security contract, had never done any high threat contracts anywhere else in the world that we’ve been able to find, much less in high threat areas for the U.S. government. They had a few guys on the ground.” Moreover, Fox News reports, “The Blue Mountain Group hired guards through another company who were not armed.” What could possibly go wrong?
          It didn’t take long to figure out. The terrorist threats escalated shortly thereafter. The State D

epartment was warned by Ambassador Chris Stevens that the compound lacked the resources needed to fend off a coordinated attack, and in late August 2012, the State Department came back to TAES requesting its security services. Unfortunately, by then it was too late. According to Fox, “Torres emphasized that time was against them, saying it would have taken two-to-three weeks to get set up. Twelve days later, the ambassador was killed. Torres learned of the attacks by watching television. He called the circumstances leading up to the tragedy ‘bad decision-making from top to bottom.’”
          Subsequently, Torres says he was ordered by a State Department official to “not speak to the media” and “not speak to any officials with respect to the Benghazi program.” Torres added that this official stated, “Guards should not be armed at U.S. embassies. She just made that blanket statement. … And she said that they weren’t required in Benghazi. So I was kind of confused about that. And she said that she would like my support in saying that if that came up. And I looked at her. I just didn’t respond.”
          This is yet more demonstrable proof that the liar-nObama administration was more than just callous. It was resolutely deceptive about Benghazi. This was always a cover-up ahead of the 2012 election and, from our perspective, it was the biggest factor of Barack liar-nObama’s re-election. Now a couple of insiders are confirming the State Department’s gag order. Yet you won’t hear liar-Hillary Clinton blaming the Benghazi debacle for last year’s electoral loss.  ~The Patriot Post

{dailysignal.com} ~ The nations that ratified a global Arms Trade Treaty are gathering for their third annual conference this week in Geneva, Switzerland. As always, this conference features many nations declaring unwavering commitment and support for the treaty... which purports to require nations to regulate the conventional arms trade. What the Arms Trade Treaty actually does is give left-wing activists a platform to mount campaigns against U.S. and British arms sales, while ignoring Iran, Russia, China, Syria, and all the other dictatorships. And how many of those nations meeting in Geneva are willing to put their money where their mouth is?

Why Does God Permit Natural Disasters?

by Judge Andrew Napolitano
{townhall.com} ~ Like many Americans during the past three weeks, I've been bombarded by news about the destructive power of Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Hurricane Irma in Florida. The stories are of misery, death, and destruction.

The misery, death, and destruction are acutely difficult to accept because they have been visited upon innocents. I say that knowledgeable of the ancient argument that our personal and collective sinfulness has merited our pain. Yet that raises this question: Does anyone really deserve personal ruination because of personal sin, particularly from a God whose Son said He came to call sinners and not the just?

Stated differently, why does an all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful God permit innocents to suffer in natural disasters?

This question has occupied philosophers for millennia. The natural order of things has revealed that we all have free will, and we know from our experiences that we can easily abuse that free will. The individual will is so free that we can use it to do magnificent things or horrific things.

But a natural disaster is not the handiwork of anyone's free will. Could it really be the handiwork of an angry God impatient with the manner in which we have abused free will? This argument is not a logical extension of Christian teaching unless God is terribly inconsistent with His impatience over human failures and errors and has somehow overlooked and not yet grown impatient with the world's worst monsters.

Why the natural disasters? We know from the exercise of our reason that the curvature of the Earth and its continuous movement through space set in motion a series of forces. These forces protect the Earth and its inhabitants from the harmful rays of the sun and permit the intrusion of the beneficial rays. All this comes at a price. The movement of the Earth actually produces friction, and that friction, in turn, ignites energy, and that energy often is drawn by the Earth's gravity and finds an outlet in destructive forces on the planet.

Though these forces -- the linchpin of which is the Earth's gravity -- can be avoided through the exercise of creative reason we can build shelters from them, they are often, as with Harvey and Irma, beyond our ability to harness or control. All this is a thumbnail sketch of basic astrophysics, largely acquired through human reason and beyond serious dispute.

But the disputable philosophical questions remain. What force set all this in motion? What caused the big bang in the first place? What caused the Earth's gravity? What tipped over the first domino that billions of years later triggered the explosions of energy that eventually became Harvey and Irma?

We know from reason that every effect had a cause. You plant grass seed and water it, and the effect is blades of grass. The cause was the interaction of the seeds and earth and rain and sun brought together by the free will of the person who did the planting. There are infinite examples of this. Yet is there any cause that was uncaused? Yes. That is the all-knowing, all-powerful, all-loving uncaused cause, whom most of us call God the Father.

Now back to the question posed earlier. If God the Father created us and loves us, why does He permit natural forces that He set in motion to harm and even to devour us? A similar question was actually addressed by our Lord Himself when He was approached by biblical scholars who asked about a young man who was blind from birth. The question they put to Jesus was: Whose sinning caused this man to be born blind? Was it the man himself or his parents?

The question may have been an attempted trap. Yet Jesus answered by saying essentially that no one's sins caused the blindness. Rather, he was born blind so that the works of God could be made manifest in him. In other words, he was born blind so that Jesus could cure his blindness publicly -- as He did -- and thereby enhance the faith and understanding of all who learned of this and believed it.

Of course, not all who learned of the cure of the blind man believed in Jesus' divinity. Some thought He was a charlatan performing tricks, and some thought the young man was never really blind. Their skepticism and doubts caused G. K. Chesterton to remark that "the Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried."

Chesterton recognized that we are free to believe or to reject belief. To those who believe in the all-loving God, we know that from time to time, He manifests Himself to give us a need to embrace Him, just as He did with the man born blind. That embrace is the test of faith. It was manifested in countless unseen acts of generosity and selflessness -- from believing stranger to believing stranger -- in Texas and in Florida.

I can hear the prayer of the faithful in pain. "O Lord, I prayed that the hurricane would not destroy my home, yet it did. I still love you, Lord, because my family was spared. I love you more now because I need you more now. I don't reject the truth. I embrace it, no matter the cost -- because the truth will keep my free will set upon you."

As pope, St. John Paul II called this rational belief. It is the essence of understanding. It is faith tempered by human reason and human reason informed by faith. Faith without reason and reason without faith lead to fanaticism. Only their informed juxtaposition will guide our free wills to do the right things and to have understanding when bad things happen.

4064463703?profile=original                             NEW HILLARY EMAILS WARRANT SPECIAL PROSECUTOR

 

                                                                                     By

     

                                                                       Daniel John Sobieski

 

 

New emails unearthed by Judicial Watch confirm that the Clinton Foundation was in fact a pay-to-play influence peddling operation more worthy of a special prosecutor  than imaginary Russians colluding under Trump Administration beds. It is time for President Trump to keep the promise he made in a presidential debate to indict Hillary Clinton for her crimes:

About 20 minutes into the debate, Donald Trump delivered a menacing threat to Hillary Clinton. “If I win,” he warned, “I’m going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation, because there’s never been so many lies, so much deception.” …

 “It’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country,” Mrs. Clinton observed.

“Because,” Mr. Trump replied “you’d be in jail.”

The emails fully incriminating Hillary are part of of documents obtained by Judicial Watch under a court order forcing the State Department to find the documents it said it couldn’t find, didn’t have or was too understaffed to look for:

Judicial Watch today released 1,617 new pages of documents from the U.S. Department of State revealing numerous additional examples of classified information being transmitted through the unsecure, non-state.gov account of Huma Abedin, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, as well as many instances of Hillary Clinton donors receiving special favors from the State Department.

The documents included 97 email exchanges with Clinton not previously turned over to the State Department, bringing the known total to date to at least 627 emails that were not part of the 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton turned over, and further contradicting a statement by Clinton that, “as far as she knew,” all of her government emails had been turned over to department.

The emails show intentional mishandling of classified material and coordination between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation which involved the State Department granting favors and access to Clinton Foundation donors. Some of the emails were undoubtedly among the 33,000 Hillary Clinton and her operatives destroyed even though they were under Congressional subpoena.

Former FBI Director James Comey, who exonerated Hillary first and conducted a sham investigation later, concluded, usurping the authority of the Attorney General, that Hillary Clinton could not be indicted for her crimes because she lacked “intent”, even though the law imposes no such requirement  These new documents and emails indicate clear intent and purpose and the failure to produce them was part of the cover-up for her crimes. Among the examples cited by Judicial Watch in the documents:

The new documents show that Clinton donors frequently requested and received special favors from the State Department that were connected to the Clinton Foundation.

On July 14, 2009, Gordon Griffin, a XL Keystone lobbyist, sent an email to Clinton Foundation executive Doug Band, asking if Band could get him into a Council on Foreign Relations dinner at which Clinton was speaking. Band forwarded the email to Abedin, saying, “Can u get him in?” Abedin replied: “Yes will get him in.” Band was a top aide to President Bill Clinton and co-founder of Teneo. Griffin was a major donor to

Hi llary Clinton’s Senate and presidential campaigns….

 On September 11, 2009, Terrence Duffy, chairman of futures brokerage firm CME Group, a donor to the Clinton Foundation, asked Clinton to arrange “government appointments” for him in Singapore and Hong Kong. Clinton, using her HDR22@clintonmail.com address, forwarded the request to Abedin, “fyi.” Abedin responded to Duffy’s email, saying she would “follow up” with Duffy’s secretary, Joyce. Duffy gave $4,600 to Hillary’s 2008 presidential campaign; CME Group paid Hillary $225,000 for a speaking fee and has donated between $5,001 and 10,000 to the Clinton Foundation. …

On May 5, 2010, major Clinton Global Initiative member, Clinton Foundation donor and real estate developer Eddie Trump forwarded to “Dougie” Band a request for assistance from Russian American Foundation Vice President Rina Kirshner to get the Russian American Foundation involved in a State Department program. Band forwarded the request to Abedin, saying, “Can we get this done/mtg set.” As Judicial Watch previously reported, the State Department doled out more than $260,000 to the Russian American Foundation for “public diplomacy.”

Major Clinton donor Bal Das, a New York financier who reportedly raised $300,000 for Hillary’s 2008 presidential campaign, asked Abedin on November 11, 2009 if Hillary Clinton could address the Japan Society at its annual conference in 2010. Clinton did speak to the Japan Society’s annual conference in 2011.

Collusion with the Russians anyone?  How about Hillary Clinton’s collusion with the Russians in the Uranium One deal which gave Russia control of 20 percent of our uranium supply in exchange for donations to the Clinton Foundation?

Clinton played a pivotal role in the Uranium One deal which ended up giving Russian interests control of 20 percent of our uranium supply in exchange for donations of $145 million to the Clinton Foundation. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a federal crime. As “Clinton Cash” author Peter Schweitzer has noted:

Tuesday on Fox Business Network, “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” Breitbart editor at large and the author of “Clinton Cash,” Peter Schweizer said there needs to be a federal investigation into the Russian uranium deal then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved after the Clinton Foundation receiving $145 million from the shareholders of Uranium One….

 Discussing the Clinton Foundation receiving $145 million from the shareholders of Uranium One, he continued, “Look there are couple of things that are extremely troubling about the deal we touched on. number one is the amount of money $145 million. We are not talking about a super PAC giving a million dollars to support a candidate. We are not talking about campaign donations. We are talking about $145 million which by the way is 75 percent or more of the annual budget of the Clinton Foundation itself so it’s a huge sum of money. Second of all we are talking about a fundamental issue of national security which is uranium — it’s not like oil and gas that you can find all sorts of places. They are precious few places you can mine for uranium, in the United States is one of those areas. And number three we are talking about the Russian government. A lot of people don’t realize it now, in parts of the Midwest American soil is owned by Vladimir Putin’s government because this deal went through. And in addition to the $145 million Bill Clinton got half a billion dollars, $500,000 for a 20-minute speech from a Russian investment bank tied to the Kremlin, two months before the State Department signed off on this deal. It just stinks to high heaven and I think it requires a major investigation by the federal government.”

As Investor’s Business Daily editorialized, donations to the Clinton Foundation even played a factor in the refusal of Hillary Clinton’s State Department to designate Nigeria’s Boko Haram as a terrorist organization for two years:

Hillary's emails may be only the tip of an iceberg that could include Clinton Foundation donations to shield Boko Haram from being designated a terrorist group and her brother's involvement in a Haitian gold mine….

Last month, the Washington Post reported on another deal involving Rodham that could prove politically embarrassing and damaging for his sister. It seems that he sits on the board of a company that got a coveted gold-mining contract from the government of Haiti after the Clinton Foundation sponsored relief work in Haiti.

In interviews with the Post, both Rodham and the chief executive of Delaware-based VCS Mining said they were introduced at a meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative, which seems more and more to be an unseemly mix of charitable work with the political and business interests of Clinton Foundation donors.

And then there's Hillary's strange dealings regarding the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram, which just recently pledged its allegiance to the ever-expanding Islamic State — dubbed the "JV team" by President Obama, who has yet to make good on his pledge to degrade and destroy them.

Last May, we wondered why for two years on Hillary Clinton's watch the State Department refused to designate a Nigerian Islamist group as a terrorist organization. This group has murdered thousands as it wages a real war on women. As Josh Rogin at the Daily Beast reports, the Clinton State Department "refused to place Boko Haram on the list of foreign terrorist organizations in 2011" after the group bombed the United Nations headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria.

Sen. David Vitter, R-La., sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry last week asking for all of Hillary's records relating to Boko Haram and her reluctance to designate it a foreign terrorist organization.

Vitter also requested all of Hillary's communications with Gilbert Chagoury, a Nigerian construction tycoon who has donated millions to the Clinton Foundation. Vitter noted that Chagoury had a financial interest in the potential impact of designating Boko Haram a terrorist group

How many of the more than 30,000 "personal" emails that Hillary deleted from her private account relate to these matters? Is that why she needed a private email server? We need to see that server. It might provide, er, a veritable gold mine of information.

The documents obtained by Judicial Watch constitute an equally valuable gold mine of information. President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions have a chance to right a great wrong here. Director Comey tried to put the fix in for Hillary by not convening a grand jury, moving to have a special prosecutor appointed, and by not showing up for a cursory interview of Hillary which was not done under oath. The infamous tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch was merely the frosting on this cake.

Comey deserved to be fired for letting Hillary Clinton skate and he isn’t out of the legal woods himself yet. But  Hillary’s crimes in fact cry out for a special prosecutor. As Judicial Watch concludes:

“The emails show ‘what happened’ was that Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin obviously violated laws about the handling of classified information and turned the State Department into a pay for play tool for the corrupt Clinton Foundation,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The clear and mounting evidence of pay for play and mishandling of classified information warrant a serious criminal investigation by an independent Trump Justice Department.”

Lock her up, and while we’re at, how about Huma Abedin and James Comey as well.

Gowdy explains the critical question involved: “There is sufficient factual basis to bring him in and ask him, ‘When did you make up your mind that you weren’t going to charge Secretary liar-Clinton?’ I can tell you because I’ve seen with my own eyes he made up his mind before he interviewed her.

{cnsnews.com} ~ President Trump tweeted Thursday morning that "no deal" was made on DACA when  he met with Democrats last night. But -- "we're working on a plan," Trump told reporters as he walked out of the White House Thursday on his way to Florida... "We'll see how it works out," he said. "But we're going to get massive border security as part of that." Trump also said he's spoken to House and Senate Republican leaders, and they're on board with the DACA-border security plan. "Mitch is on board, Paul Ryan's on board," he said...So once again the lib dems are lying and misleading.America.  https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/trump-tweets-no-deal-was-made-last-night-daca?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTURReE5HSXlNMlEwTWpoaiIsInQiOiJiVVFcL0E2QTl3Z3NueDFCZHB0aHRxTStrQTNsaHI4UHdQbXJXb3poNSt4bHJ4S0IxcXVlY1kzbkoxMENMWUMwVWcrVHF0OGNGZXpNU2VMc1BKZU9qeWRcL0NKK0NOckppeW5NYlN5RlFQSng1UWYrQ2NvcWlJbkFEaDh6d1dEM0dRIn0%3D

{freebeacon.com} ~ Chinese military support to North Korea's missile programs included transfers of rocket transporters, according to a new report by a United Nations panel of experts... The report by the expert panel of the UN Security Council identified Chinese-origin trucks shown in a military parade last April carrying China's new KN-11 submarine-launched ballistic missile. "The trucks carried the ‘Sinotruk' logo on the fuel tank and shared some identical features with the Sinotruk Howo 6×6 series trucks shown at the 10 October 2015 military parade," the report said...  http://freebeacon.com/national-security/china-sold-trucks-used-north-korean-missiles/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=cc0965ae33-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_13&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-cc0965ae33-45611665

Trey Gowdy Dropped A Russia Bombshell 
That Ruined Robert Mueller For Good

{greatamericandaily.com} ~ The investigation into alleged ties between Trump and Russia continues to drag on. There is an easy way to prove Donald Trump is innocent. And Trey Gowdy just proved it with one bombshell... Much of the investigation centers on the Christopher Steele dossier. Steele put together the document which claimed the Russians colluded with Trump campaign associates after being commissioned by Fusion GPS. The dossier has been exposed as fake news and its origins are a subject of great mystery. Trey Gowdy and the House Intelligence Committee are trying to get to the bottom of just who paid Fusion GPS to hire Steele. Was Fusion GPS working with the Russians while this was going on and was Steele on the FBI’s payroll as he was putting together an opposition research memo on one of the two major party candidates for President?...  http://greatamericandaily.com/trey-gowdy-dropped-a-russia-bombshell-that-ruined-robert-mueller-for-good/

UNINFORMED OR MISINFORMED?
by Burt Prelutsky


It was that wise old cynic Mark Twain who first observed that if you failed to read a newspaper, you risked being uninformed, whereas if you did read one, you’d surely be misinformed.  The scary thing is that he made that observation well over a hundred years ago.

Imagine what he’d say today when newspapers, along with the media that didn’t even exist in Twain’s day, make no secret of their political bias.  Instead, they flaunt it, taking genuine pride in their lies, insisting it’s their responsibility to protect us from ourselves.

I mean, how would we know that Trump was a tyrant on a par with Hitler, Stalin and Mao, if they didn’t keep telling us?  It certainly wouldn’t occur to most of us that a wealthy patriot who believes that a president’s primary responsibility is to American citizens, and not to interlopers from foreign nations, was a threat to our liberty.  And inasmuch as I am totally unaware of his having overseen the torture and murder of tens of millions of people, I think we can be forgiven if we fail to see the slightest resemblance between Trump and three of the bloodiest despots who have ever existed.

But even their deep and abiding hostility to Donald Trump would be slightly more palatable if, at the same time, they didn’t insist on prostrating themselves to a pair of villains like Barack Hussein liar-nObama and liar-Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Although we have examples of the media’s odious double-standard every day, consider, if you will, how they covered the two presidents when it came to Boy Scout Jamborees.  When President liar-nObama snubbed the event because the Scouts hadn’t yet capitulated to the lunacy of allowing homosexuals to become Troop leaders, the media carried on as if the Second Coming had occurred right on schedule.

But when President Trump spent a few minutes during his address to the Scouts excoriating the fake news media and referring to Congress as a cesspool, you would have thought he had appeared wearing nothing but a raincoat and had at some point flung open his coat and flashed the crowd.

The press reacted by denouncing Trump for turning the event into a “Nazi Hitler Youth Rally” and ruining the occasion by “Promoting His Agenda to Tens of Thousands Too Young to Vote.”

For one thing, a lot of these Scouts will be old enough to vote in 2020, some as soon as 2018, and it’s never too soon to be reminded why voting, even when it grows increasingly difficult to tell Republicans from Democrats, is still important.  For another thing, the media never seemed to have a problem with five and six-year-olds being compelled to chant “Mmmmm mmm mmm, liar-nObama” as if he was as tasty a dish as a piping hot bowl of Campbell’s tomato soup.  And most of those brainwashed tykes still aren’t old enough to cast votes.  At least not legally.

● The Senate Republicans have a lot of gall complaining that President Trump is getting too cozy with the Democrats.  What the heck is he supposed to do when Mitch McConnell refuses to even consider changing the Senate rules so that the passage of legislation merely requires 51 votes, not an impossible 60?

On the other hand, the 52 Senate Republicans, being as incompetent as they are, couldn’t even repeal liar-nObamaCare.  So perhaps McConnell shouldn’t even bother trying to change the rules.  By now, even he probably recognizes that he wouldn’t be able to get the pathetic 52 to agree the sun rises in the east and falls in the west.

At least Trump now recognizes that just because a majority of senators have an (R) after their names, the letter might as well stand for reluctant, resigned, ridiculous or retarded, and their nicknames might as well be Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy and Dopey.

But, clearly, party designations in the Senate are intended to confuse.  After all, two of the twerps, Angus King of Maine and Bernie Sanders of Vermont, have an (I) standing for Independent after their names.  But when have either of them ever cast a vote except as dictated by Harry dinky-Reid or Chuck clown-Schumer?  Russians serving sentences in Siberian gulags are more independent than these two schlemiels.  

● A while back, I suggested that the only reason I could imagine for Trump’s military advisors suggesting that sending an additional 4,000 troops into Afghanistan 17 years into the longest war in American history is because promotions are more forthcoming during wartime.

It just seemed logical that if we couldn’t defeat the Taliban when we had 120,000 soldiers involved and if the Afghanis still weren’t up to the task, it was time for Trump to announce victory and get us the hell out of that pig sty.

As you can imagine, I wasn’t too thrilled to hear from a 20-year veteran who has continued in his post-military life to work with senior military officers and senior government bureaucrats, and opened by letting me know “I take personal offense at the inane comment about the military officers urging the President to send more troops into Afghanistan simply because they want to get promoted.  It’s nonsensical.

“The Joint Chiefs, the senior military personnel advising the President on troop strength levels already have four stars and there is no opportunity for advancement beyond that.”

He went on at some length, but essentially, his advice was that Trump’s military advisors are motivated solely by a wish to see America achieve its military goals in Afghanistan.

In response, I wrote: “Not having a military background, I will limit myself to a few points.   One, I have heard that, thanks to having liar-Clinton and liar-nObama as the Commander-in-chief for 16 of the past 24 years, the brass has more and more come to include butt-kissing politicians, rather than warriors; the sort of social engineering types who have fallen into PC line by pushing for more women, gays and now transgenders, to be inducted into the military.

“Two, if an overwhelming force is required to win in Afghanistan, as it was in Iraq, how is it we didn’t win when we had those 120,000 troops over there, and how is an additional 4,000 men going to change things after all these years?”

He, in turn, replied: “To a certain extent, you have a point about the political leanings of the officers that Presidents choose to elevate to the most senior ranks as being amenable to the President’s philosophy.  But, on the other hand, the social engineering that you and I detest has always been subject to the whims of civilian leadership, which, under our Constitution, has always had the authority to decide the policies that the military must obey.

“When we had 120,000 troops in Afghanistan, we had the Taliban on the run.  It was liar-nObama’s repeat of the foolish policies of the Johnson administration and liar-nObama’s orders to dramatically reduce forces by arbitrary deadlines that took away our military superiority and resulted in Taliban resurgence.”

I concluded: “Thanks for getting back to me.  I am not convinced that the officers who were promoted by liar-Clinton and liar-nObama and who now hold senior positions and are in a position to advise President Trump were the best officers available.  It wouldn’t make any sense if it were otherwise.  Considering the louts liar-Clinton and liar-nObama placed in their cabinets, it wouldn’t make sense that when it came to promoting officers, they would suddenly change course and select the best, the brightest or the bravest.

“As for having the Taliban on the run, that’s meaningless; they simply run to Pakistan, the same way that Osama bin Laden did, and wait us out.  It’s not as if we were going to leave 120,000 troops in Afghanistan indefinitely.

“Besides, why should we have any troops in Afghanistan?  What could 4,000 additional soldiers accomplish that tens of thousands have failed to do in the past?  As for handing matters off to the Afghanis, if we haven’t taught their army to fight and kill the Taliban after nearly two decades, I’d say it’s a lost cause.”

I admit it stung to have my comments dismissed by a military veteran as “inane” and “nonsensical,” but I was glad to discover that we felt the same way about liar-Clinton and liar-nObama.  Still, I couldn’t help noticing that he never really made a case for sending the additional 4,000 troops into harm’s way, which was the basis for the debate.

● I think it’s only fair to warn Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada, that every election, California voters keep getting closer to getting rid of Proposition 13, the so-called Jarvis Amendment, which placed a cap on the rate of property taxes the state could collect.  Before the legislation was passed back in 1978, property taxes were so high in California, they often dwarfed the original price of the home.

Because every year, the number of renters increases, it’s only a matter of time until they begin out-voting landlords and homeowners. On that day, the exodus from California will dwarf the one that occurred in Egypt a few thousand years ago, and if you happen to live in any of those nearby states, you’ll come to regard the devastation of Hurricane Harvey and Irma as nothing more than a touch of bad weather.

● The English poet and critic Dame Edith Sitwell once said, speaking, I believe, for most American conservatives: “I am patient with stupidity, but not with those who are proud of it.”
