Largest Sex Trafficking Ring in Western US Busted — Children Openly Sold ‘in Plain Sight”

A report of a missing teenager in Tulare County, California, in late 2016 culminated into the uncovering of one of the largest sex trafficking rings in the Western United States, according to an announcement by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department on Thursday. Thirteen young women and girls, including the missing teen, were freed from captivity as a result of the extensive investigation.

The missing teenager’s disappearance, and subsequent discovery in a West Hollywood apartment in January, led investigators in the LA Sheriff’s Department to discover an extensive human sex trafficking network that extended from Nevada to California. During the course of the investigation, detectives discovered that the ring used apartments as brothels in dozens of communities, including Burbank, West Hollywood, and Las Vegas.

“Years ago, a human trafficking case of this magnitude was not likely,” Los Angeles County Sheriff Jim McDonnell said in a news conference in downtown. “We knew the more we looked, the more we would find.”

According to a report by the Los Angeles Daily News:

The six-month investigation by the Tulare County Sheriff’s Department, Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, Los Angeles Regional Human Trafficking Task Force, and the California Department of Justice, has led to two arrests so far. Quinton Brown, 30, of Highland, and Gerald Turner, 32, of Fresno, were arrested on suspicion of 54 charges relating to sex trafficking, pimping, pandering, grand theft and identity theft.

The complaint, filed Wednesday by the California Attorney General’s office, alleges that Brown lured victims from the Central Valley as far back as in October and trafficked them throughout the state. Investigators also said:

• The 13 victims include eight minors who were sold for commercial sex.

• A 2017 Maserati Ghibli, a 2017 Maserati Levante, and a 2016 Porsche Panamera, all confiscated by investigators, were used in the ring and obtained through fraudulent means.

• Eight people were victims of identity theft.

• 16 sites across California and in Nevada were used as brothels as part of the ring.

Mia McNeil, 32, who police believe rented the apartments/brothels remains at large, according to McDonnell. Additionally, law enforcement believes she also leased high-end luxury vehicles to transport the ring’s sex slaves without raising suspicion.

McDonnell said that detectives uncovered that Brown and Turner “would traffic the victims in plain sight,” using the Internet to advertise the women they were attempting to sell.

“They are as young as 15 years old, bought and sold for commercial sex,” according to McDonnell.

Surprisingly, most of the victims of sex trafficking are born and raised in the U.S. At the news conference, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said 72 percent of the victims found in California say they are American.

“Human trafficking, which includes sex and labor trafficking, is one of the fasting growing crimes in the world. Its reach is not limited to foreign countries,” Becerra said. “In California, human trafficking is reported here in our state more than in any other.”

Law enforcement said the investigation is ongoing, as they attempt to uncover and arrest the individuals who solicited the young women and teenage sex slaves.

“The predators online that are looking for an 11 year old … these people are not the traditional johns that most people think of,” McDonnell said. “These are predators. These are child molesters that are out there taking advantage of some of the most vulnerable in society.”

The Los Angeles Daily News reports that:

Since the Los Angeles Regional Human Trafficking Task Force was established in 2015, there have been 697 arrests, and of those, about 30 percent were male buyers. In addition, there have been 185 victims rescued, a majority of them youths who were sex trafficked.

Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said he has since met with one of the victims rescued, and she has received help and is back in school. But he implored parents to watch their children carefully, especially while they are on their mobile phones.

“To the parents, be vigilant,” Boudreaux said during the press conference. “Pay attention to what your children are doing online. Social networking is an environment for predators to prey on and exploit the innocence of our children.”

Of course, when even those tasked with protecting children — such as Raymond Liddy, 53, a California deputy attorney general — are arrested on charges of possessing child pornography; who is left to actually look out for the welfare and safety of the children?

In addition to being a California state prosecutor, Liddy is the son of a prominent Watergate figure—G. Gordon Liddy—who was an operative in President Richard Nixon‘s campaign attempt to burglarize the Democratic National Committee.

Raymond Liddy was arrested at his home and was charged in federal court with possessing images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, according to federal court documents obtained by Heavy. He was subsequently released from custody and placed on home detention with GPS monitoring after posting a $100,000 bond during his arraignment.

Even after taking down “one of the largest human trafficking rings on the West Coast,” there is a virtual certainty that this bust only barely scratches the surface. When high-level officials, tasked with prosecuting those that break the law, are accused of being the ones preying upon the innocent and weakest in society it makes one seriously question who is actually looking out for the victims.

Please share this story in an effort to raise awareness about the extreme scope of this constant and pervasive societal problem of the sexual trafficking of children!

Bombshell Dropped on ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’ Mantra

. . .How far has Russia fallen off the media’s radar? So far, that, in a jaw-dropping role-reversal, it is actually the White House now pushing the story on the media . . .

At the end of Thursday’s daily press briefing, a visibly bemused White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders chided reporters, “You guys love to talk about Russia, and there’s been nonstop coverage. And the one day that there might have been a question on Russia, there wasn’t.”

So she raised the topic herself, noting, “[T]here was public testimony that further discredited the phony dossier that’s been the source of so much of the fake news and conspiracy theories. And we learned that the firm that produced it was also being paid by the Russians.”

That revelation didn’t just chill mainstream media interest. The Democrats also suddenly stopped uttering their Russia mantra.

That’s because Thursday’s testimony indicated the entire Russia collusion story may be turned on its head in fantastic fashion. (Read more from “Bombshell Dropped on ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’ Mantra” HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/07/bombshell-dropped-russia-russia-russia-mantra/

California Allows Secession Ballot Initiative to Proceed

Californians may soon get the opportunity to vote to secede from the United States.

The state’s attorney general, Xavier Becerra, issued an official ballot measure title on Tuesday allowing CalExit supporters to start gathering the 585,000 signatures needed to place the matter before California voters in 2018, the Associated Press reported.

“The initiative [titled ‘California Autonomy From Federal Government’] would form a commission to recommend avenues for California to pursue its independence and delete part of the state constitution that says it is an inseparable part of the U.S. The measure would also instruct the governor and California congressional delegation to negotiate more autonomy for the state,” according to the AP.

This is the second attempt to get such an initiative on the 2018 ballot by a group that is known as Yes California or CalExit.

The first effort was withdrawn in April after the group’s founder, Louis Marinelli, emigrated to Russia, which prompted the group’s official spokesman, Marcus Ruiz Evans, to pull the initiative. He promised to resurrect it later, which he now has.

During an interview in January, Evans said Donald Trump’s election has greatly fueled his group’s cause, which dates back over two years.

“If California votes were taken away, Trump won the popular election,” said Evans. “So what kind of people elect a man like that? The answer: not Californians.”

“So we’re basically here to tell people that ‘I know that California officials are telling you that they’re going to protect you, but in fact in federalism, the federal government, overrules state law,” he added. “There is going to be a limit to what they can do.”

Evans told reporters the Supreme Court has already recognized the right of states to secede in Texas v. White (1869), though the justices actually held states do not have the right to secede unilaterally. Other states must accede to the move through the amendment process.

He cited issues such as climate change and illegal immigration as reasons California would be better off as its own master.

The group has 20,000 followers on Twitter and over 40,000 likes on Facebook.

Evans believes California, as the 5th largest economy in the world, will be just fine on its own.

At $2.6 trillion, the Golden State’s economy dwarfs the GDP’s of its sister states.

Its closest rival is Texas with a GDP of approximately $1.6 trillion.

California also has the largest population by far of any state with 39 million (or 12 percent of the United States), with Texas, once again, in second at 28 million, followed by Florida and New York, each with approximately 20 million.

CalExit organizers have 180 days to collect the required 585,000 signatures for the measure to appear on the ballot in 2018.

The Judicial War on God and the Declaration of Independence

Foreign nationals who fervently adhere to sharia law have a First Amendment right to trespass on our soil, but county governments have no right to offer a prayer to the God of the Bible, the same one referenced in the Declaration of Independence. That is the rule we get from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals when we juxtapose the court’s ruling in the Trump immigration moratorium case with a recent case regarding prayer at county commissioner meetings in Rowan County, North Carolina.

Poor North Carolina just can’t get a break. It appears that the state’s original concerns about joining the federal union in 1788 have been proven correct. Over the past year, the Fourth Circuit has nullified the state’s voter integrity laws; federal, state, and even county-level political maps; and gender sanity laws. Now the court has banished God from county government prayers.

On July 14, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Rowan County, North Carolina, commissioners can’t begin their session with a public prayer delivered by an elected official. And the vote wasn’t even close. This once conservative panel voted 10-5 to banish God from the public square. The opinion was written by Judge Harvie Wilkinson, a Reagan appointee, demonstrating the imbalance in the judiciary once again — that even the most radical opinions are often penned by GOP appointees.

This case also demonstrates that the judiciary will always be a dead end and a one-way-street for conservatives. While conservative lower court judges always feel bound to “precedent,” liberal lower court judges have no problem violating precedent and established practice. Anyone who watches C-SPAN will see that the Senate begins its session every day with a prayer in the deep voice of Pastor Barry Black. Yet the Fourth Circuit somehow believes that a local government, which has even more leeway in matters of religion than the federal government does, can’t even cite the God referenced in our founding document. Our founding has been deemed unconstitutional.

Just three years ago, an opinion authored by Justice Kennedy (of all people!) clearly stated that sectarian prayers at local government gatherings are permissible so long as nobody is coerced to participate. In Town of Greece v. Galloway, Kennedy wrote for the majority that as long as the prayer “comports with our tradition and does not coerce participation by nonadherents,” there is no room for judicial intervention. “To hold that invocations must be non-sectarian would force the legislatures sponsoring prayers and the courts deciding these cases to act as supervisors and censors of religious speech,” Kennedy wrote in the 2014 case.

So how could lower court judges violate sacred precedent? In classic Fourth Circuit fashion, Judge Wilkinson agreed with the ACLU that this prayer is tantamount to coercion because it makes non-religious attendees feel like “outsiders” and “the overall atmosphere was coercive, requiring them to participate so they ‘would not stand out.’” Remember, this same judge signed on to an opinion earlier this year suggesting that almost all Muslim Americans (and non-citizen residents) have standing to bring suit against Trump’s immigration moratorium because the policy cultivates an anti-Islam bias in this country and makes them feel “anxious,” “stigmatized,” “stereotyped,” and “like an outsider.”

Our history, traditions, and founding are unconstitutional

On September 25, 1789, the very same day the House of Representatives voted on the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights — to “make no law respecting an establishment of religion,” — it passed a resolution requesting President Washington to declare a “day of public humiliation and prayer.” This day of prayer and thanksgiving to God, in the words of the great Roger Sherman, was to replicate “the solemn thanksgivings and rejoicings which took place in the time of Solomon, after the building of the Temple,” a “precedent in holy writ” he thought “worthy of Christian imitation on the present occasion.”

President Washington issued the proclamation on October 3 to be observed on November 26 that same year. What was the nature of this public day of prayer? To beseech God “to pardon our national and other transgressions” and “to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue.”

As Scalia noted in a speech shortly before he passed away, modern justices place their interpretation of abstract principles over “the lived experiences and customs” of the American people. Referring to long-standing American traditions, Scalia admonished his fellow jurists to approach those issues with the mindset that a jurist “does not judge them; he is judged by them.”

States have been crushed … except for the ability nullify federal laws

Amazingly, at the same time the courts crush states and denude them of their most basic powers and traditions, held since their acceptance into the federal union, the unelected judges are allowing states nullify federal law. Judge Watson allowed Hawaii to demand that the federal government admit any cousin or distant relative of even non-citizen residents in the state or anyone who claims ties to a state university, despite the president’s statutory authority to bar their entry. Judges are allowing states to keep sanctuary cities and even blocking federal officials from enforcing immigration law. These are powers manifestly held by the federal government. And even John Roberts agreed with these wacky judges in an order last week. Yet when it comes to election law, the right to invoke God, define marriage, or regulate abortion, well, suddenly the states don’t exist.

One could not possibly conjure up a more perverse worldview than the one espoused today by the courts.

Liberal lower court judges always find ways to move precedent even further to the left, yet conservative judges always abide by precedent, even when the higher court violated the Constitution. This is exhibit number 1,324,987 why the judiciary is irremediably broken and why it needs wholesale reform.

Rediscovering Americanism

Last time Republicans controlled all of government, when the courts began their war on God, even the Bush-era Republicans pretended to care about the judicial crisis. Yet now that the courts are more radical than anyone even feared back then, we hear nothing but crickets from the “conservative” Congress.

Following the 2002 decision from the Ninth Circuit to remove “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance, the House of Representatives passed the Pledge Protection Act on two separate occasions. This bill exercised the Art. III Sec. II plenary power of Congress to regulate the jurisdiction of the federal courts and prohibited all federal courts from adjudicating any case over the constitutionality of the Pledge. The bill passed the House with bipartisan support in 2004 (247-173) and in 2006 (260-167). Although the bills never went anywhere in the liberal Senate, at least there was core bipartisan outrage over the social transformation and judicial tyranny. They passed similar bills stripping the courts of jurisdiction over marriage and abortion.

In the same week in September 1789, when Congress called for a day of public prayer, it also passed the Judiciary Act of 1789, which created the entire structure and jurisdiction of the federal judiciary. No less a figure than John Marshall himself said (Durousseau v. United States, 1810) that implicit in this bill was the exercising of Article III, Section 2, which grants the judiciary only the jurisdiction provided to it by Congress and that this bill placed a “negative on the exercise of such appellate power as is not comprehended within it [the bill].”

Look how far we have fallen. Now we can’t even get the most conservative members to address marriage, God, abortion, or judicial reform in a meaningful way. The courts are redefining human sexuality and our national borders, yet Congress won’t lift a finger to even conduct a hearing on judicial reform.

In response to the concern that the courts would usurp power, James Madison wrote to Spencer Roane in 1821, “It is not probable that the Supreme Court would long be indulged in a career of usurpation … Nor do I think that Congress, even seconded by the Judicial Power, can, without some change in the character of the nation, succeed in durable violations of the rights & authorities of the States.”

The operative phrase is “change in the character of the nation.” We have a nation that no longer knows its own heritage, laws, history, and traditions. This is how the judiciary can completely rewrite our legacy without anyone blinking an eye.

This, at its core, is what CR Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin is seeking to restore with his new book, Rediscovering Americanism. A nation that doesn’t even understand the values of the Declaration of Independence is bound to repudiate its most sacred tenets. There is a lot of political “fighting” unfolding in our era, but even most of those who purport to fight for “our side” don’t even know what they are fighting for. Rediscovering Americanism is probably the most effective and concise tutorial in natural rights and natural law that can be understood even by the diminished intellect of the governing class. Until they pick up a copy of the book and understand our heritage, the source of our inalienable rights will continue to be extirpated from our body politic by an unelected lawyerly elite.

Left’s ‘Big Lie’ About Trump and GOP Explodes

To hear the left tell it, Donald Trump is a fascist if not actually a Nazi. “I feel Hitler in these streets,” actress Ashley Judd chanted around his inauguration. Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns terms Trump “Hitleresque.” Columnist Andrew Sullivan terms the GOP today a “neo-fascist party.” And MSNBC host Rachel Maddow says, “I’ve been reading a lot about what it was when Hitler first became chancellor … because I’ve I think that’s possibly where we are.”

The charge that Trump and the right are fascists and neo-Nazis is used to establish Trump as an illegitimate president, the GOP as a party in cahoots with him, and to justify getting rid of both “by any means necessary,” which is actually the name of one of the many so-called antifascist groups. The media barrage against Trump, the street violence of Antifa and other groups, are all based on the premise that the left is fighting a modern incarnation of the Hitler movement of the 1930s.

I agree that there is a fascist strain in American politics today, but who are the real fascists? Is fascism a phenomenon of the left or the right? This question is rarely asked in a serious way, and I want to give credit to two worthy predecessors who have begun to plough this ground. The first is the economist Friedrich Hayek, whose “The Road to Serfdom,” first published in 1944, made the startling claim that Western welfare state democracies, having defeated fascism, were moving inexorably in the fascist direction.

Hayek identified fascism as a phenomenon of the left, a cousin of socialism and progressivism. And he warned, “The rise of fascism and Nazism was not a reaction against the socialist trends of the preceding period but a necessary outcome of those tendencies.” While Hayek’s book was written in a pedantic, measured tone, appealing to progressives to learn from one who had witnessed firsthand the rise of fascism in Europe, progressive scholars immediately set about reviling Hayek, with one, Herman Finer, accusing him of displaying a “thoroughly Hitlerian contempt for the democratic man.” (Read more from “Left’s ‘Big Lie’ About Trump and GOP Explodes” HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/07/lefts-big-lie-trump-gop-explodes/

{rickwells.us} ~ On Friday President Donald Trump announced the inevitable was taking place, that he was making a move at the Chief of Staff position... the leak infested position, and bringing in his Homeland Security Secretary to fill the spot. The selection indicates that Kelly is someone President Trump trusts as a capable leader who knows how to keep his mouth shut and whose respect for the office of the President is unquestioned. He must certainly feel that Kelly is a loyal American who will put country and the success of his administration ahead of personal recognition and career considerations. President Trump made the announcement via tweet, saying, “I am pleased to inform you that I have just named General/ Secretary John F Kelly as White House Chief of Staff. He is a Great American…. John has also done a spectacular job at Homeland Security. He has been a true star of my Administration.”...http://rickwells.us/dhs-secretary-gen-john-kelly-replaces-priebus-trump-chief-staff/

{rickwells.us} ~ John RINO-McCain is going out with a bang and unfortunately it wasn’t the sound of him putting himself and the rest of America out of his misery... Many Americans are optimistic that this will be the last we’ll see of him in the Senate. Whether it is or isn’t, he certainly made himself the center of attention as he once again reinforced his RINO credentials. RINO-McCain seemingly went out of his way to drag things out, keeping the Senate, Vice-President Pence and President Trump hanging for over two hours, past midnight, doing whatever they could think of to bring him into the Republican fold he so willingly shuns. RINO_McCain didn’t disappoint his Democrat allies, he saved liar-nObamacare. He can now go to wherever he wants for his cancer treatment, as his non-liar-nObamacare Senate Cadillac health care coverage allows him to do. He really did get to keep his doctor. He can bask reflectively at the irony of his betrayal, that what may be his last act before getting the best care on the planet was to stick Americans with what is arguably the worst, and a socialism bill to go along with it...He was not allow on this betrayal. 6 others where involved. http://rickwells.us/watch-rino-john-mccain-path-betrayal-grim-gop-jubilant-democrats/

{rickwells.us} ~ Rancho Cucamonga was the scene of a pathetic display of the police state in action as Trump supporters ventured into RINO country, the offices of California Republican Marc Steinorth... As the plaque hanging on his wall from the SEIU indicates, he’s a sellout. Steinorth’s latest affront to the people of California is his siding with the cap and trade globalists to impose a $.71 cent per gallon gasoline tax. After navigating past the locked door into the extremely relaxed workplace where not a lot of actual work seems to be being done, the patriot Trump supporters, including the Grindall61 contingent, voice their complaints. An aide for the RINO Steinorth attempts, unsuccessfully, to apply the same brainwashing techniques that work on many of the mindless idiots who finance their own demise. They supported his treachery and will soon be paying through the nose for the “privilege” of driving as a result. The price of anything that is transported by truck as well as services which involve fuel will rise as well. Nice job of understanding the issues before you vote, idiot citizens. Now you’re stuck with liberal trash sticking the knives of globalism in your backs.

Don't Be Shocked (Shocked!) by Alaska Threats

{
townhall.com} ~ It's a bit of a cliche to quote "Casablanca" when it comes to Washington's gift for manufactured outrage, but the classics are classics for a reason. When Captain Louis Renault orders Rick's saloon shut down, Rick played by Humphrey Bogart protests: "How can you close me up? On what grounds?"

Renault played by Claude Rains replies, "I am shocked -- shocked -- to find that gambling is going on in here!"

Then, a croupier walks up to Renault and hands him some money: "Your winnings, sir."

"Oh, thank you very much," Renault says. "Everybody out at once!"

The scene came immediately to mind amidst the instant outrage over reports that the Trump administration was threatening Alaska's senators. On Tuesday, Sen. Lisa Murkowski voted not to move to debate on the Senate health care bill. That angered the president. She "really let the Republicans, and our country, down yesterday. Too bad!" the president complained on Twitter Wednesday morning.

That afternoon, Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke called both Murkowski and Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan, according to a story first reported by the Alaska Dispatch News. "I'm not going to go into the details," Sullivan told the paper, "but I fear that the strong economic growth, pro-energy, pro-mining, pro-jobs [policies] and personnel from Alaska who are part of those policies are going to stop."

The story sent "shocked -- shocked!" shockwaves across Washington. How dare the Trump administration threaten the state of Alaska!

Come now.

Let me say up front that what Zinke did may be politically unwise. It may be unethical. It may be crude.

But it's not illegal. It's normal.

Every administration in American history, and every regime since the first city-states formed in Mesopotamia, has played some version of this game, not merely from time to time, but every single day. Rewarding your friends and punishing your enemies isn't some breach of the established rules of politics; those are the established rules of politics.

Every White House has a political operation that reminds policymakers that this state should get better treatment than that state for one political reason or another. It's the job of the policymakers to know when to listen to that guidance and when to ignore it.

The proper symbol of FDR's imperial presidency wouldn't be a ball and scepter but a carrot and a stick. Roosevelt held his coalition together by awarding massive defense contracts to Southern states whose senators were the barons of the defense and appropriations committees. His freshly minted Social Security Board threatened to withhold funds from states that resisted compliance with the Aid to Families with Dependent Children welfare program. LBJ's Health, Education and Welfare Department threatened to terminate funds for states that didn't enforce civil rights.

Congress is no better. It has used the Highway Trust Fund time and again to force states to comply with its will. In 1974, Congress declared that any state that didn't set its speed limit to 55 mph would see the money spigot turn off. In 1975, Congress did the same to force motorcyclists to wear helmets. In 1984, the same technique was used to raise the legal drinking age.

And now let's discuss the great state of Alaska, a place I love and have spent much time in. My wife is from Fairbanks, and much of her family is still there. Alaska fancies itself a land of rugged individualists. Its nickname, emblazoned on its license plates, is "The Last Frontier." A more accurate nickname might be "The New West Virginia" for its addiction to pork. At the height of the earmark era in Congress, Alaska ranked No. 1 on the list of recipients, thanks largely to former Rep. Ted Stevens, the self-styled "Emperor of Earmarks."

No one runs for federal office in Alaska without promising to bring home the bacon from Washington. In fairness to Alaskans, one reason that's seen as necessary is the federal government controls so much of the state about 60 percent of its land is controlled by Washington.

Murkowski herself lobbied for months for a special Alaska-only carve-out under the Better Care Reconciliation Act -- the nearly $2 billion "Kodiak Kickback." It proved to be not enough, but the "for sale" sign had gone up.

Zinke's heavy-handedness will probably backfire because standing up to threats is one of the only things that plays better in Alaska than accepting porcine bribes.

But the outrage is all part of the show. As Hyman Roth says in "The Godfather Part II," "This is the business we've chosen."

Muslim Running For U.S. Senate Just Announced Her Horrific Plans For America If She Wins

45-year-old Democrat Deedra Abboud, a native of Little Rock, Arkansas who is now a Phoenix area attorney and civil rights activist has officially thrown her hat, or hajib in this case, into the ring to run for the US Senate representing the great state of Arizona.

Abboud formally launched her candidacy at a brief 10:30 a.m. event with her supporters at the Japanese Friendship Garden in downtown Phoenix.

“The journey that I have decided to take on today is not just for the people who look like me or sound like me, but for all Arizonans,” Abboud told onlookers. “Because we cannot continue to go backwards on this path that weakens our children’s education, strips health care from people who need it the most, locking up and breaking up families, and, once again, empowering big banks that caused the worst housing crisis in Arizona.

“I am with the growing majority of Arizonans who know that anger and resistance can only take us so far,” she added. “We need to unite to move our families forward. We need to unite to move Arizona forward. We need to unite to move America forward.”

What really concerned witnesses was who were in attendance was that during her 15-minute event, an upside-down Arizona flag flew behind Abboud. Although a campaign spokesman later said it was an error and not a political statement. Let’s all remember that the Muslim faith is very keen when it comes to symbolism.

I would have thought nothing much of it myself, but then I started to research as to who exactly this woman is. She is an attorney who self-professes herself as being a defender of Civil Rights. But not the civil rights of people from the cesspool nations where Muslims originate from. Places where women aren’t even allowed to display their faces, leave the house without a male relative, and can be beaten by their husbands at any time without consequence. She is an attorney for The Council on American-Islamic Relations or CAIR which has been labeled as a terrorist organization by The United Arab Emirates. In fact, she was the person who founded the first CAIR chapter in the state of Arizona.

Muslim Running For U.S. Senate Just Announced Her Horrific Plans For America If She Wins

A U.S.-based pro-Muslim group that enjoys close ties with the Obama administration has landed on one Arab nation’s list of terrorist organizations.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was one of 82 groups around the world designated terrorist organizations by the United Arab Emirates, placing it in the company of Al Qaeda, Islamic State and others. While CAIR has previously been linked to Hamas, it has held hundreds of meetings with White House officials on a wide range of community issues and has sought to present itself as a mainstream Muslim organization.

“We call on the United Arab Emirates cabinet to review this list and remove organizations such as CAIR, the Muslim American Society (MAS) and other civil society organizations that peacefully promote civil and democratic rights and that oppose terrorism whenever it occurs, wherever it occurs and whoever carries it out,” CAIR wrote in a statement on its Facebook page, which also called its inclusion on the UAE list a “bizarre move.”

Despite its good standing in Washington, CAIR has had its share of controversy. In 2007, the organization was named along with 300 others as an unindicted co-conspirator in a case regarding funding to extremist group Hamas. Its critics have long accused the group of having ties to groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.

Some terrorism experts applauded the UAE’s designation, saying CAIR is an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.

“The United Arab Emirates could have banned the Muslim Brotherhood and left it at that,” Ryan Mauro, a national security analyst for the Clarion Project, told FoxNews.com. “Instead, they went the extra mile to call out major Brotherhood affiliates in Europe and the U.S. The point that the UAE is making is that the Brotherhood operates in the West and it is worried about these affiliates’ influence on Western policy.

“Federal prosecutors have explicitly named CAIR and MAS as Muslim Brotherhood entities, yet the UAE is expressing more public concern about this than the U.S. does,” Mauro added. “Whereas they appear in our media and meet with our officials, the UAE views them as extremists unworthy of being treated as representatives of Muslims.”

CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said his organization, as well as other Muslims who are against terrorism, are often unfairly portrayed

“Obama provided examples of religious leaders engaged in the ideological fight against extremism, quoting a Muslim sheikh who said, ‘We must declare war on war, so the outcome will be peace upon peace,’” Hooper said. “That sheikh is Abdullah bin Bayyah, a 79-year-old cleric who, even though lauded on the world stage for his recent efforts at peacemaking, is dogged by controversy over connections to the Muslim Brotherhood.”

The UAE’s list was likely to ratchet up the pressure on the Muslim Brotherhood by lumping it together with extremists such as the Islamic State and Al Nusra, Al Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria.

The move follows a decision by Saudi Arabia in March to designate the Brotherhood a terrorist group along with Al Qaeda and others. The Emirates voiced support for the decision at the time, and accused Islamist groups of trying to topple its Western-backed ruling system.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE have taken a firm stance against the Muslim Brotherhood since its ascendance in Egypt in the wake of the Arab Spring, and the oil-rich Gulf neighbors are strong supporters of Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. He was elected earlier this year after leading the military overthrow of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Officials at the U.S. State Department did not immediately return comment when asked about the UAE’s designation list.

Of course, she is now whining about the backlash she has been receiving from Americans since she announced her candidacy. Because we know the drill, Muslims are experts at playing the “Victim Card” and Liberals excel at defending them, although Muslims don’t believe in anything Liberals stand for.

Let’s hope and pray her candidacy doesn’t go anywhere. Leaving aside the fact that she’s a Muslim who still wears a hajib, she is a leader of a group known to have ties to terrorism. This isn’t what our great nation wants, nor needs!

Please share if you believe CAIR needs to be banned in the USA….

ICE CHIEF PUTS SANCTUARY CITY MAYORS ON NOTICE : “YOU will be the ones in cuffs for breaking federal law

%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=www.barenakedislam.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/trump-quote-on-santuary-cities-e1501404116547.jpg?resize=360%2C204" alt="" width="360" height="204" />The country’s top immigration enforcement officer says he is looking into charging sanctuary city leaders with violating federal anti-smuggling laws because he is fed up with local officials putting their communities and his officers at risk by releasing illegal ‘crimmigrants’ from jail.

%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=www.barenakedislam.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/GetImage_1488331870756_17790362_ver1.0_640_360.jpg?resize=640%2C360" alt="" width="590" height="332" />

Washington Times  Thomas Homan, the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, also told Americans to expect more work site enforcement targeting unscrupulous employers and more 287(g) agreements with willing police and sheriff’s departments that want to help get illegal immigrants off their streets. Eventually, he said, ICE will break the deportation records of 409,849 migrants set in 2012 under President Obama.

“I think 409,000 is a stretch this year, but if [the Justice Department] keeps going in the direction they’re going in, if we continue to expand our operational footprint, I think we’re going to get there,” he told The Washington Times. “Our interior arrests will go up. They’re going to top last year’s for sure.”

Mr. Homan is the spear tip of President Trump’s effort to step up immigration enforcement — perhaps the largest swing in attitude for any agency in government from the last administration to the current one. Agents and officers have been unshackled from the limits imposed by Mr. Obama, whose rules restricted arrests to less than 20 percent of the estimated illegal immigrant population.

Now, most illegal immigrants are eligible for deportation, though Mr. Homan said serious criminals, recent border crossers and people who are actively defying deportation orders are still the agency’s priorities.

Migrants are increasingly refusing to open doors for his officers and, when they do, the encounters are turning violent, Mr. Homan said. Use-of-force instances are up about 150 percent, and assaults on ICE officers are up about 40 percent, he said.

Local officials are also pushing back, declaring themselves sanctuaries and enacting policies that block their law enforcement officers from cooperating with ICE. The refusals range from declining to hold migrants beyond their regular release time to refusing all communication — even notifying ICE when a criminal deportable alien is about to be released into the community.

For Mr. Homan, who came up through the ranks of the Border Patrol and then ICE as a sworn law enforcement officer, that sort of resistance is enraging. “Shame on people that want to put politics ahead of officer safety, community safety,” he said.

Sanctuaries say that cooperating with ICE frightens immigrants — both legal and illegal — and makes them less likely to report other crimes. They say that is a bigger threat to public safety than crimes committed by illegal immigrants.

Asked whether that means he will recommend prosecutions, he said, “We’re looking at what options we have.” The law carries a penalty of five years in prison in most cases, but penalties could rise to include life in prison or even death if someone is killed during the crime.

Mr. Homan said refusing to cooperate is counterproductive for sanctuary cities, whose goal is to protect illegal immigrants from deportation. He said if his agents have to knock on doors in the community, then thy are likely to encounter still more illegal immigrants to round up.

“If I arrest a bad guy in the jail, I arrest him. But if I go to his home or his place of employment and arrest the bad guy, and there’s five guys with him? They’re going to come too,” the chief said.

Indeed, those kinds of arrests have stirred anger among advocacy groups, which say “collateral” arrests are hurting immigrant communities.

Mr. Homan said the number of police and sheriff’s departments signed up for the 287(g) program allowing them to help process illegal immigrants for deportation from their jails has already doubled under Mr. Trump and should triple by the end of the year.

He said he also has received inquiries from departments that want to restore 287(g) task forces, which would train state and local police to enforce immigration laws on the streets. Mr. Homan said he is studying that possibility.

His agency has even begun arresting parents who pay smugglers to bring their children on the dangerous journey to the U.S. Mr. Homan said it was too early to talk about numbers for that operation.

Trump’s illegal alien deportation program is also hitting the Muslim community hard, especially Somali Muslims.

Sweden: Muslim-owned shop refuses to serve woman because she wasn’t wearing a hijab

A woman in Sweden claims that she was denied service at a local Somalian-owned shop because she was not wearing an Islamic headscarf.

Soheila Fors said she felt as if “she had returned to Iran’s religious oppression.” In addition, she gets death threats against her family for promoting women’s rights.

This case highlights a peculiar problem we see in the West: feminists and deceivers such as Linda Sarsour ignore the plight of Muslim women under Sharia, including such abuses as wife-beating, FGM, forced marriage, forced covering, the humiliating male guardianship program in mainline Saudi Arabia, and much more.

What makes this case about Soheila Fors glaring is that this Sharia oppression is now on Western soil. This happened to her in Sweden, which is on the verge of civil war over Sharia and jihadi incursions.

“Swedish Shop Refuses Woman Service For Not Wearing Hijab”, by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, July 27, 2017:

A woman in Sweden claims that she was denied service at a local Somalian-owned shop because she was not wearing an Islamic headscarf, and remarked she felt like she was back in her home country of Iran.

The woman, a well-known Swedish female-rights activist named Soheila Fors, said that she was out shopping for dresses and was shown some by the female retail clerk. Shortly after a man, whom Fors deduced to be the owner of the shop, spoke with the clerk in Somalian about Fors and her lack of a hijab, Fors wrote in an article for Nyheter 24.

“The woman turned to me and said, ‘Unfortunately, you can not buy it’. ‘Imagine going to a store and not buying food and milk,’ I replied. ‘Sweden is a democracy,’ she replied. ‘Yes, yes, it’s a democracy. I’ll get in with or without hijab’,” Fors claimed in her piece.

The experience left Fors saying she felt she had, “returned to Iran’s religious oppression.” Fors left Iran in 1993 after being part of a movement against the Islamic government there. Since then she has been outspoken on Islam and women’s issues and has led her to face death threats from supports of the Islamic State terror group.

“They write that they know where I live and to kill my family,” Fors said back in 2015.

According to Fors, many people on social media have told her to file discrimination charges against the shop but she has decided against the idea saying it could lead to potential ethnic conflict between Iranians and Somalians in Sweden.

Instead, she has advocated a boycott of business that employs the same kind of practices saying that Swedes should not spend their money in shops which take such actions.

The two ideas of feminism and conservative Islam have repeatedly butted heads in Sweden in recent years. One of the most well-known and recent cases was when several feminists felt they were forced to leave areas considered “no-go zones” because of the presence of strict Islamic beliefs….

Muslim Immigrants Offered Free Food from Food Banks But are Complaining About THIS…

It has long been argued that Muslim immigrants are unlikely to properly integrate and assimilate.

Instead, in most cases they try to force their culture and religion on the local population.

Even to the point of being completely ungrateful to those trying to help them.

Such was the case recently when a group of unemployed Muslim immigrants confronted charitable food banks that were providing them with free food.

“All these people are here just asking you to fulfill the promises that you made,” said the group’s leader, a teacher of Islamic law. “We are asking only to have proper food which is, number one, ethnic food, and number two, unexpired, healthy food.”

A representative of one of the food banks promised to look into the matter. But he noted that the food being provided was good, even if not all of it met with the requirements of Sharia Law.

Though he insisted some of the food was being specially prepared according to Muslim standards.

At that point, an ungrateful Muslim woman shouted that the man was lying. That the food did not meet the standards of Sharia Law.

This is a big reason why I support President Trumps ban on immigrants, do you?

Muslim professor at University of California calls for “intifada” in America

University of California’s Hatem Bazian, co-founder of the anti-Israel Students for Justice in Palestine, has been calling for intifada in the United States.

It was a matter of time before jihad-minded Muslim leaders in the U.S. started calling for “intifada” (violent uprising) on American soil. It is the result of too much kowtowing by non-Muslim authorities to Islamic supremacists. This brazenness is bound to get much worse, given that there is far too much acceptance today of Palestinian propaganda against Israel, and Palestinian victimology narratives. Even at violence-inciting al-Quds Day rallies, chants of “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” ring out, with no fear of legal consequences.

An example of this brazenness came earlier this week when a California mosque defended an imam “who prayed that Allah would “annihilate” Jews.”

More on this story. “US Professor: ‘How come we don’t have intifada in this country?'”, by Mordechai Sones, Arutz Sheva, July 27, 2017:

University of California’s Hatem Bazian, co-founder of the anti-Israel Students for Justice in Palestine, has been calling for intifada in the United States, as documented in a video by Canary Mission.

In it, Prof. Bazian is seen in various venues calling for intifada in the United States.

Bazian is not the only US Muslim in a leadership position who has been calling for violent uprising. Last week, Arutz Sheva reported on MEMRI’s video of Egyptian-born American Imam Ammar Shahin delivering a Friday sermon at the Islamic Center of Davis, northern California, where he called for the slaughter of all Jews…..

Colleges Treat Conservatives as Enemies, But Would Welcome a Guantanamo Inmate Yelling Death to America

This morning I was on Breitbart Radio, speaking about my book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Free Speech (and Its Enemies):

“Robert Spencer: Colleges Treat Conservatives as Enemies, But Would Welcome a Guantanamo Inmate Yelling Death to America,” by Dan Riehl, Breitbart, July 28, 2017:

Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, spoke with Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Raheem Kassam on Friday regarding his new book, “The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Free Speech (and Its Enemies)” and the steady erosion of free speech born by political correctness.

Said Spencer, “It is becoming impossible for people who are opposed to jihad terror and people who dissent from the leftist line in general from saying anything with any significant platform.”

Spencer said of the battle for free speech, “I spoke at three universities this past Spring and at every one it was as if Jack the Ripper was speaking. But I guarantee you that if a Guantanamo inmate showed up at any of those universities and started screaming death to America, he would have been welcomed as a hero.”

Having said the extreme left is winning the war on speech, he continued, “It’s just a fact that’s taken for granted widely that only one point of view is allowed on campuses today.”

Legal loophole means Muslim cop who killed unarmed woman may never face criminal

charges

( AMERICAN'S FIRST )

This is indeed likely, since Mohamed Noor was a golden boy, a showcased trophy: a Somali Muslim on the police force. He was kept on the force despite his manifest incompetence, and now it is likely that the Minneapolis political establishment, as committed as ever to playing identity politics with the force rather than hiring and firing cops on the basis of merit alone, will try to sweep this entire incident under the rug.

“No justice for Justine Damond? Legal loophole means the police officer who shot Australian woman dead as she stood in a driveway may never face criminal charges,” by Daniel Peters, Daily Mail Australia, July 27, 2017:

The U.S. police officer who shot dead Australian woman Justine Damond as she stood on a driveway outside her home may never face criminal charges.

Rookie cop Mohamed Noor is maintaining his silence and continues to exercise his legal right not to be interviewed by investigators probing Ms Damond’s death.

However, when the shooting becomes the subject of an internal police investigation, Noor will be compelled to provide statement or face the sack from the force.

The only catch is, any statement he provides during the internal investigation cannot be used in a criminal case due to a legal technicality, the Star Tribune reports.

The law is known as the Garrity Warning in Minnesota, and means that public employees under internal investigation are given the option to provide information or face disciplinary action.

‘Because you are being required to provide information under the threat of disciplinary action, the information you provide, and any evidence resulting from the information you provide, cannot and will not be used against you in any subsequent criminal proceeding,’ the warning reads….

 Scaramucci Spouts Off About Leaks

"Who leaked that to you?" White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci demanded to know of Ryan Lizza, a reporter for The New Yorker. Scaramucci was immediately concerned with information about a certain dinner, but his broader concern is about the leaks plaguing Donald Trump's White House. Lizza refused to disclose his source, as just about any reporter would, and he recorded the ensuing phone conversation this way:
          [Scaramucci] responded by threatening to fire the entire White House communications staff. "What I'm going to do is, I will eliminate everyone in the comms team and we'll start over," he said. I laughed, not sure if he really believed that such a threat would convince a journalist to reveal a source. He continued to press me and complain about the staff he's inherited in his new job. "I ask these guys not to leak anything and they can't help themselves," he said. "You're an American citizen, this is a major catastrophe for the American country. So I'm asking you as an American patriot to give me a sense of who leaked it."
          Scaramucci appears to be particularly aiming for Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, who he suspects of the leaks and of "c— blocking" Scaramucci's appointment sooner. That's where his remarks got extremely, er, "colorful" as he later explained. "Reince is a f—king paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac," cried Scaramucci. In fact, he continued, "What I want to do is I want to f—king kill all the leakers and I want to get the president's agenda on track so we can succeed for the American people."
          Pleasant fellow. Leakers aren't the only target of his ire, though. Lizza records, "Scaramucci also told me that, unlike other senior officials, he had no interest in media attention." He then quoted Scaramucci saying, "I'm not Steve Bannon, I'm not trying to suck my own c—." Bannon is Trump's chief strategist and comes from Breitbart News. "I'm not trying to build my own brand off the f—king strength of the president. I'm here to serve the country."
          Maybe this kind of language still plays well among some of Trump's base — drain the swamp at all costs! — but it is pathetically uncouth and degrading for the White House. It's disgraceful. And from the communications director no less. Let's get one thing straight, though. Scaramucci was hired to be Trump's "heavy" — the muscle who will knock some heads together. That may be necessary, and Scaramucci may be gone in a month or two when the job is done.
          The smart guy in this debacle is former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, who had the good sense to resign upon Scaramucci's hiring. When asked how he felt after departing, Spicer said, "How do I look like I'm feeling? Relieved." The upside: Scaramucci may actually upstage Trump's stupid remarks.
          Finally, after the interview was published, Scaramucci tweeted, "I made a mistake in trusting in a reporter. It won't happen again." That would imply he trusted reporters to begin with. What planet is he from?  ~The Patriot Post

But for all the will-he-or-won’t-he attention on Trump’s decision, the focus on the nuclear deal is missing the point: The administration’s real agenda on Iran doesn’t hinge on the nuclear agreement—a dangerous deal that puts the U.S. in a impossible situation. Instead, the Trump administration’s priority should be restoring leverage against Tehran, so that we can dissuade Iran from sprinting toward a bomb and create far more favorable circumstances to negotiate an agreement that—unlike liar-nObama’s deal—actually prevents a nuclear Iran. Abiding by the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), as the agreement is known, will only enable a nuclear and hegemonic Iran.

This was the first time that liar-Clinton, who has long supported the formation of a government-controlled bank to invest in national infrastructure projects, cited the liar-Clinton Global Initiative—the flagship arm of her family’s controversial foundation—as an investment model for her proposed bank. liar-Clinton said CGI’s "public-private" partnership with labor unions has created tens of thousands of jobs, and argued that a federal infrastructure bank could take on this type of project...She will never be a president of the USA. http://freebeacon.com/politics/leaked-audio-hillary-clinton-calls-at-private-fundraiser-for-infrastructure-bank-to-resemble-clinton-global-initiative/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=ee1789189f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_07_28&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-ee1789189f-45611665

Is Trump Entering a Kill Box?

{
townhall.com} ~ Given the bravery he showed in stepping out front as the first senator to endorse Donald Trump, Jeff Sessions deserves better from his boss than the Twitter-trashing he has lately received.

The attorney general has not only been loyal to Trump and his agenda, he has the respect and affection of ex-colleagues in Congress and, more broadly, of populists and conservatives nationally.

Trump's tweets about Sessions are only demoralizing his base.

Yet the president is not wrong to be exasperated and enraged.

A yearlong FBI investigation into Russian hacking has failed to produce a single indictment. Yet the president watches impotently as a special counsel pulls together a lethal force, inside his own administration, whose undeclared ambition is to bring him down.

Trump's behavior suggests that he sees the Mueller threat as potentially mortal.

How did we get to this peril point when there is no evidence that Trump or any senior aide colluded in the hacking?

As for the June 2016 meeting with the Russians, called by Donald Trump Jr. when told by a friend that Moscow had dirt on liar-Hillary Clinton, even that was no crime.

Foolish, yes; criminal, no. So, again, how did we get to where talk of impeachment and presidential pardons fills the air?

First, Attorney General Sessions, as a campaign adviser and surrogate for Trump who had met with the Russian ambassador, had to recuse himself from the investigation. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein then assumed oversight authority.

Trump then fired FBI Director James Comey and boasted to Russia's foreign minister about having gotten the "crazy nut job" off his case. His Oval Office comments leaked. Comey then leaked notes of his meeting with Trump. Rosenstein then washed his hands of the mess by naming a special counsel.

And he chose a bulldog, ex-FBI Director Robert Mueller.

Hence, where are we? Despite zero evidence of Trump or his aides colluding in the hacking, a counterintelligence investigation is evolving into a criminal investigation. Mueller is now hiring veteran investigators and prosecutors specializing in white-collar crime.

This is not a witch hunt. It is an Easter egg hunt on the White House lawn, where the most colorful eggs are likely to be the tax returns and the financial records of Trump, who built a real estate empire in a town where winners brag about how they gutted the losers.

Every enemy of Trump is going to be dropping the dime on him to Mueller. Moreover, there is no history of special counsels being appointed and applauded by the press, who went home without taking scalps.

Trump understands this. Reports of his frustration and rage suggest that he knows he has been maneuvered, partly by his own mistakes, into a kill box from which there may be no bloodless exit.

What Trump needs is a leader at Justice who will confine the Mueller investigation to the Russian hacking, and keep Mueller's men from roaming until they hit prosecutorial pay dirt.

Consider now Trump's narrowing options.

He can fire Jeff Sessions. But that will enrage Trump's base to whom the senator is a loyal soldier. And anyone Trump nominates as AG would not be confirmed unless he or she pledged not to interfere with Mueller.

He could direct Rosenstein to fire Mueller. But Rosenstein would assume the Elliot Richardson role in the Saturday Night Massacre, when that AG refused to fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, resigned, and was canonized as a martyr by the Never-Nixon media.

Even if Trump finds a Justice Department loyalist to play the role of Solicitor General Robert Bork, who carried out Nixon's orders and fired Cox, this would only mean Mueller's departure. Mueller's staff of prosecutors and investigators would still be there, beavering away.

When Archibald Cox was fired, Nixon ordered his entire office shut down. Yet, within days of the firestorm, it was up and running again with a new special prosecutor. And impeachment resolutions were blossoming in the House.

Another Trump option would be to leave Mueller alone and hope for a benign outcome. But from reports of his rage at the recusal of Sessions and unwillingness of Rosenstein to restrict Mueller to the Russian hacking scandal, Trump seems to sense that an unrestricted investigation represents a mortal threat to his presidency.

And all the talk of impeachment and pardons suggests that this city can also see what lies over the next hill. After all, we have been here before.

From his history, Mueller is not a man to be intimidated by charges of bias. These will only steel his resolve to pursue with his subpoena power every document he wants, including tax returns, until he has satisfied himself.

The president is unlikely to view this process with indulgence, and patience does not appear to rank high among his virtues.

We are headed for a collision between President Trump and Director Mueller.

The “skinny repeal” bill managed to get only 49 votes, with every Democrat and the three Republicans voting against the scaled-down version of the repeal and replace bill.  Just before 2 a.m. Friday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., noted that for seven years, Republicans have promised to repeal and replace liar-nObamacare. “We told our constituents we would vote that way and when the moment came, most of us did,” McConnell said on the Senate floor. “Our friends on the other side decided early on they didn’t want to engage with us in a serious way to help those suffering under liar-nObamacare.”... http://dailysignal.com/2017/07/28/3-republicans-join-democrats-to-defeat-obamacare-repeal/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTUdZMU16aGlOelEwT1RBeCIsInQiOiJ6ejZOWUZYXC92Rk1VRG4rRThmcW1iUnFZOE1teURCUDd1ekxQdmRnU0RDWWxQMEZwRzcxWXh5dVhKNTJlaWVPa21KMGRaV1wvaWxNUm5CK1NzOVJBVnlPOHB1dENSalBnN09TR25FcjVvSGlyVzhYVVFpVzZ6bFFwTGgzTGhMU3pSIn0%3D

{dailysignal.com} ~ As President Donald Trump calls for the Justice Department to probe the actions of his vanquished opponent, liar-Hillary Clinton, four Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee want another look at the FBI’s investigation of the liar-Clinton email scandal... The four Republican lawmakers—Florida’s Matt Gaetz, Arizona’s Andy Biggs, Ohio’s Jim Jordan, and Louisiana’s Mike Johnson—filed an amendment Wednesday directing an investigation into how then-FBI Director James Comey’s managed the case. The lawmakers’ interest comes after Comey, ousted May 9 by Trump, told a Senate panel in June that, during the liar-nObama administration, Attorney General Loretta Lynch had directed Comey to call the FBI’s probe of liar-Clinton’s private email server a “matter” instead of an “investigation.”...http://dailysignal.com/2017/07/27/4-house-republicans-seek-answers-on-fbi-probe-of-clinton-email/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTUdZMU16aGlOelEwT1RBeCIsInQiOiJ6ejZOWUZYXC92Rk1VRG4rRThmcW1iUnFZOE1teURCUDd1ekxQdmRnU0RDWWxQMEZwRzcxWXh5dVhKNTJlaWVPa21KMGRaV1wvaWxNUm5CK1NzOVJBVnlPOHB1dENSalBnN09TR25FcjVvSGlyVzhYVVFpVzZ6bFFwTGgzTGhMU3pSIn0%3D

 Trump's Baffling Attacks on His Own Attorney 
 General

By Lewis Morris:  The White House shakeup that began last week with the departure of Press Secretary Sean Spicer and key members of the communications team is not over. In fact, more names are potentially being added to the hit list, chief among them Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
          Sessions has been one of Donald Trump's staunchest supporters going all the way back to the crazy days of the 2016 campaign. The two men share similar views on immigration enforcement, being tough on crime, and connecting directly with working class voters. Sessions is arguably the administration's foremost conservative, giving Trump bona fides with a voting bloc that has provided steadfast support while many other Americans either scratch their heads about the president or downright loathe him.
          So why is Trump hinting so strongly that Sessions' days are numbered? His new communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, and his new press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, have both suggested publicly that Sessions is on the way out.
          But far more pointed are Trump's own barbs. Trump told The New York Times that if he'd known Sessions would recuse himself from the Russia probe, he never would have nominated him. He said in a press conference that he's "disappointed in the attorney general." In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump scoffed that Sessions only supported him because he had "massive numbers" show up at rallies in Sessions' home state of Alabama (as if Sessions was in any danger of losing his seat in deep-red Alabama). Trump's also gone on a Twitter rant calling Sessions "beleaguered" and accusing him of being soft on White House leaks and of taking "a VERY weak position on liar-Hillary Clinton crimes."
          Of course, after the election, Trump himself said he didn't want to pursue the liar-Clintons. "I don't want to hurt the liar-Clintons, I really don't," Trump said. "She went through a lot and suffered greatly in many different ways." Oh, and by the way, the liar-Clinton Foundation has done "good work," he said. But never mind that now.
          Is it possible that the Russian probe recusal got so far under Trump's skin that he's willing to cut one of his most loyal soldiers loose? Trump professes to be big on loyalty, but he is also no fan of weakness and he doesn't suffer fools gladly. In his view, Sessions' perceived weakness in the face of the opposition is a bigger disadvantage than his loyalty is an asset.
          It was not a legal necessity that Sessions recuse himself from the Russia probe. It was merely an attempt to quell the Democrat attack against the administration in its early days. As Trump suspected, and most of us know by experience, Sessions' recusal had no effect whatsoever on the anti-Trump forces. Democrat sharks only smelled fresh blood in the water and pushed their attack with renewed vigor. Now Trump has to face Robert Mueller and his biased investigative team without Sessions in his corner. It would seem that an old Washington hand like Sessions would have realized this. Trump knew it, and he didn't have any Beltway experience at all.
          Sessions is, or at least was, a Trump ally. But don't forget that Trump was elected by a populist wave that is absolutely fed up with Washington politics and its career politicians. For better or worse, that includes Jeff Sessions. People had no choice but to take Trump's promise to drain the swamp seriously after the firing of James Comey. He's still holding the plug in his hand, and now Sessions and several other Beltway members of the White House team are circling the drain.
          Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price found himself on the receiving end of a none-too-subtle warning from Trump at a speech to the Boy Scouts of America. Trump warned Price that he would be fired if health care reform doesn't pass the Senate. It was almost certainly a joke, but with Trump, who can be sure?
          Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and much of what remains of the White House communications team are in Scaramucci's crosshairs. The new communications director has sworn he'll shut down the leaks that have plagued the White House — even if it means wiping out the whole team and starting from scratch.
          Opponents of Trump's brash political style will say good luck finding replacements. As the reasoning goes, who would want to join this chaotic White House? Don't kid yourselves. There are countless people who would take a job in the West Wing in a heartbeat. Whether they are qualified or not is another matter.
          Staffing issues aside, Trump's thoughts may be hard to read, and his actions may be nearly impossible to predict. But his brand of politics shouldn't be a mystery anymore. He's no fan of the city in which he works. He doesn't like the bureaucracy that everyone around him is comfortable navigating. And in this, he embodies the mindset of the voters who elected him.
          There is plenty to cheer in his efforts to drain the swamp, and there's nothing wrong with firing people who aren't on board with the team. But Trump still has to govern for at least three and a half more years. He's going to need a friend or two on the inside to help him out. We've strongly disagreed with Sessions' expansion of civil asset forfeiture, which we consider constitutionally dubious at best, yet Sessions' crackdown on sanctuary cities is welcome and he's far better than some of the alternatives being floated for the post. Trump should lay off the insults and keep Sessions on board. And Sessions should call Trump's bluff and stay.  ~The Patriot Post

UK: Muslim radio station loses license after broadcasting calls to jihad violence

Sermons by radical preacher Anwar al-Awlaki, aired by Iman FM during Ramadan, “amounted to a direct call to action to members of the Muslim community to prepare for and carry out violent action against non-Muslim people.”

This series went on for some time, without complaints from viewers. It is revealing that this station was inciting hatred and violence against the infidel with no immediate outcries from those Muslims who listened.

It is not enough to have the station’s license revoked. The station’s managers should face charges, as should the case every time Muslims broadcast messages that “condone, promote and encourage violent behaviour towards non-Muslim people.”

“‘Imam FM’: Muslim Radio Station Has Licence Revoked After Broadcasting Call to Violence Sermons”, by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, July 28, 2017:

A Sheffield-based Muslim radio station has had its license revoked for broadcasting more than 25 hours of sermons “encouraging and condoning” violence against non-Muslims.

Iman FM had its license suspended earlier in the month by Ofcom for playing lectures by radical preacher Anwar al-Awlaki, but the station claimed it was not aware of his background.

According to the broadcasting regulator, sermons by the infamous al-Qaeda recruiter which were aired by Iman FM during Ramadan “amounted to a direct call to action to members of the Muslim community to prepare for and carry out violent action against non-Muslim people.”

Ofcom further stated that the cumulative effect of al-Awlaki’s statements in the lectures broadcast would “condone, promote and encourage violent behaviour towards non-Muslim people.”

A spokesman for the watchdog told the BBC that Iman Media UK Limited was “unfit to hold a license”, adding: “We have strict rules prohibiting harmful content in programmes likely to incite crime.”

Iman FM, the mission statement of which is “equipping the generation towards a cohesive society”, had previously claimed it had not listened to all the lectures because of time constraints, the broadcasts happening during Ramadan, and its only being a small radio station.

Awlaki was designated a global terrorist by the US Government in 2010, and was described as a ‘leader, recruiter and trainer for al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’ by the UN Security Council the following year.

His sermons are thought to have inspired terrorist attacks including the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris in 2015 in which 12 people died and the 2009 Fort Hood shootings, in which 13 U.S. soldiers were killed.

As Breitbart London reported earlier this month, a petition was set up “in support of IMAN FM being allowed to carry on with its radio broadcasts and for Ofcom not to revoke its license,” in response to the radio station’s suspension from air……

‘Australian women need Muslim men to fertilize them,’ says halal food chief in Facebook rant


79


Don’t say they didn’t warn you. Not only is it an incitement to rape, it is a declaration of Islamic supremacism.

Cue their leftists lapdogs in the media to explain what he really meant.

Facebook allows this vile bile, but blocks my followers and me.

Social media users slammed Elmouelhy as a “f**kwit,” “sick excuse of a man,” and a “twisted, foul, sexist bigot,” with others calling for the authorities to “kick him out of the country.”

Elmouelhy’s rant followed a study by the Hebrew University-Hadassah Braun School of Public Health and Community Medicine in Jerusalem, which found a 52.4 percent decline in sperm concentration and a 59.3 percent fall in total sperm count among men in Western nations, including Australia.

The study caused concern among the Israeli scientists leading the research, and scientist Hagai Levine said it was “an urgent wake-up call for researchers and health authorities.”

Australian scientists aren’t panicking, though.

“I would not worry our ‘guys’ too much, just to maybe be a bit conscious. I will refer to the study as informative rather than scientific and maybe, just maybe the simple[r] life in non-Western countries is actually the best, even for sperm. Maybe a study can be done in Australia regarding city men versus rural men?” senior scientist for exercise and nutrition at the Australian Catholic University, Dr Orly Lacham-Kaplan, told the News Corp Australia media outlet.

 The 'Science' of Population Control 
DGwWdzCK6CNIBPZeL_JkTiyDS7PKxQi3lz28NAUxv_i47grXBq7oIUt6D4sfmuxhmZEOgAoDT1GStwWMt0JTStaPTrAbrc74wlnOtFO_vHXVxQQVqvm9kBlmlCVD0g=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
A new BBC report warns, "Humans could become extinct if sperm counts in men continue to fall at current rates." The report elaborates, "Researchers assessing the results of nearly 200 studies say sperm counts among men from North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, seem to have halved in less than 40 years." Dr. Hagai Levine opines, "If we will not change the ways that we are living and the environment and the chemicals that we are exposed to, I am very worried about what will happen in the future."
          The study is undoubtedly an affirming one to former vice president and ecofascist Al Gore, albeit for completely different reasons. At a recent climate confab, he remarked, "Here is the good news: The effort to stabilize population growth in the world is actually a success story unfolding in slow motion. And a lot of progress has been made." Translation: Population control is working.
          He expounds on this view in his new book, "An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power," where he states, "Population growth is slowly stabilizing as girls are educated, women are empowered, fertility management is made widely available and child mortality continues to decline. This aspect of our relationship to the Earth is, in spite of the great challenges growing populations will pose in some regions, a success story unfolding in slow motion."
          No matter which direction we go — population growth or decline — science suggests we're doomed. On the one hand, people like Dr. Levine worry that human extinction will occur because of low sperm counts and the ensuing lack of babies. (An aside: If we assume Dr. Levine's synopsis is true, how much of this can be attributed to the transgenderism fad and de-masculinity efforts of recent generations? We can't know for sure, but it's not zilch. And nothing is less scientifically literate than gender disorientation.)
          On the other hand, Gore believes that population control is the only way to avoid human extinction. If you're wondering why so many people have a tough time believing the "experts," it's because it's impossible for all of them to be right. The fact of the matter is that science can be manipulated by anyone who has an agenda. That's why skepticism isn't just justified, but essential. And as far as Gore's semantics are concerned, basic economics proves that population control is a self-defeating proposition.

He looks at it from the perspective of a military man, not that of a hysterical Democrat out to score political points or someone attempting to serve their own personal needs and agenda. He supports President Trump in his decision, not seeing the LGBT discrimination that the leftists are trying to paint it as at all. He notes that military service is a very stressful environment, particularly a combat situation. He cites a 2017 article published by the American Psychiatric Association as listing gender dysphoria as a psychological disorder. He points out, “A psychological disorder bans you from any type of military service, depression, anxiety, things such as that, a whole slew of things are involved in this. In the transgender community there’s a 61% suicide rate.”...http://rickwells.us/military-supports-trump-transgender-policy-sensible-military-reasons/

{pamelageller.com} ~ FBI General Counsel James A. Baker is purportedly under a Department of Justice criminal investigation for allegedly leaking classified national security information to the media... according to multiple government officials close to the probe who spoke with Circa on the condition of anonymity. FBI spokeswoman Carol Cratty said the bureau would not comment on Baker and would not confirm or deny any investigation. Baker did not return comment when Circa attempted to reach him through the FBI. This comes as Department of Justice Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he would soon be making an announcement regarding the progress of leak investigations. A DOJ official declined to comment on Circa’s inquiry into Baker but did say, the planned announcement by Sessions is part of the overall “stepped up efforts on leak investigations.”...http://pamelageller.com/2017/07/top-fbi-lawyer-classified-leaks-media.html/

{thepoliticalinsider.com} ~ President Trump is starting to stamp down on leakers hard in the White House. His hiring of Anthony Scaramucci as Communications Director is part of this new effort to control leaks from the Oval Office... Scaramucci has wasted no time turning over every stone trying to out the leaker. He has identified White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus as a major source for the anti-Trump press. The Five co-host was invited, along with her colleague Sean Hannity and former Fox News Executive Bill Shine, to the White House Wednesday night to dine with the president. And a report from The New York Times alleges that Guilfoyle told Trump that his Chief of Staff was ‘a problem’ and ‘a leaker’ during that dinner. According to an anonymous source who was briefed on their conversation, Guilfoyle also told the president that Priebus was “someone who was not serving his agenda.”... http://thepoliticalinsider.com/kimberly-guilfoyle-priebus-leaks/?utm_content=4b4ea4948726422aa6473c7b9fa19141&source=CI&utm_campaign=TPI_Afternoon_Newsletter_7_28_17&utm_source=TPI-Newsletter-07-28-17-afternoon&utm_medium=email

{legalinsurrection.com} ~ MSNBC’s kibitzer-in-chief, Donny Deutsch, has emphatically predicted that at some point, President Trump will fire special counsel Robert Mueller... Deutsch said that Trump will “throw every toy out of the crib” to achieve his goal, “and that’s when impeachment proceedings start. That’s the way this ends.” Appearing on Nicolle Wallace’s MSNBC show this afternoon, Deutsch claimed that Trump’s motivation in firing Mueller will be to prevent an investigation into his financial dealings, which would reveal him to be a “fraud . . . dishonest, and he could wind up going to jail.”...That a lie.  http://legalinsurrection.com/2017/07/msnbcs-deutsch-trump-will-throw-every-toy-out-of-the-crib-to-fire-mueller/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LegalInsurrection+%28Le%C2%B7gal+In%C2%B7sur%C2%B7rec%C2%B7tion%29

Hey GOP, just kill the
liar-nObamacare 'monstrosity'

{wnd.com} ~ It is enormously frustrating that conservatives can’t capture the moral high ground from the phony virtue-signaling factory that is the modern Democratic Party. Conservative policies not only work better but also are morally superior.

Democrats depend on clichés and false narratives to obstruct true reform – which includes shaming many Republicans from believing enough in their own agenda to pursue it with conviction. This is nowhere more apparent than in the endless debate over the fate of liar-nObamacare and the future of American health care.

It is unconscionable that Republicans are unable to muster a simple majority to end the liar-nObamacare monstrosity – a freakish beast that does everything it promised not to do and does little it promised to do, a gargantuan scam that is destroying our health care, eroding our liberty and punishing our economy. It’s a camel with its entire body already inside the tent of the American idea – hellbent on completing liar-nObama’s plan to fundamentally demolish it.

It’s almost a waste of space to reiterate the obvious truth that the Democratic Party is bankrupt. It is wholly out of ideas except for concocting ever more creative ways to demonize conservatives as bigots, thwart policies that could bring relief to the people it professes to champion, and advance an agenda whose inevitable result is socialism – all while pretending to believe in free-market competition.

Democrats mouth such banalities as offering a “better deal,” as if they weren’t the ones who have given us this horrendous deal that is rotting the American system from the inside out.

They are incapable of offering new ideas because they are ideologically and politically enslaved. Their worldview weds them to the historically discredited notion that great results flow from allegedly good intentions. And their lust for power impels them to exploit identity politics and perpetuate victimhood for the constituencies whose overwhelming support is essential to their political lifeblood.

For example, they can’t support decentralization and competition in education, no matter how much that could improve the lives of minorities trapped in inferior schools, or support across-the-board tax cuts – even though cuts for higher-income earners help stimulate economic growth, which redounds to the benefit of middle- and lower-income earners – because they cannot abandon their class-warfare strategy.

Now back to today’s more pressing issue – health-care reform. Their policies have wrought untold disaster across the board, yet they will acknowledge no responsibility for these failures, much less join, in any way, those seeking solutions.

Democrats tell us they would be happy to work with Republicans to repair the glitches in liar-nObamacare. The problem is that we are not dealing with mere glitches. The entire legislative debacle is a galloping cancer on our system.

Further exposing the Democrats’ fraud, almost all of the Republicans’ so-called “repeal and replace” proposals have not actually contemplated repeal at all; they’ve just proposed revisions. Yet Democrats, in lockstep, will not even come to the table to discuss them. In other words, except for their failed efforts to fully repeal the bill, all Republican proposals have been efforts not to completely end liar-nObamacare sad to say but to partially repair it.

Democrats don’t want the system improved. They know it’s a barely disguised wealth redistribution scheme that if left alone will necessarily eventuate in a single-payer system – a euphemism for socialized medicine.

So for now, let’s forget Democrats, who have no intention of working with Republicans on this.


What about the couple of handfuls of pseudo-Republicans who don’t have the decency to end this nightmare – the ones who campaigned on the promise to repeal this law but won’t now pull the trigger?

I don’t want to hear that their consciences are involved or that they are from liberal states. How about their intellectual honesty and dignity?

Why do they enable Democratic propaganda that millions would be hurt by repealing a law that forces those millions to buy insurance against their will? Why aren’t they held accountable for giving life-support to a law that is already harming people and would result in socializing one-sixth of our economy?

Don’t you just love hearing the self-serving protestations of these squishes, pretending to care so much about people while they are single-handedly as Democratic intransigence is an irremediable reality decimating world history’s greatest health-care system?

There is nothing compassionate about what Democrats and their sanctimonious foxhole-sharing Republican frauds are doing here.

It’s time for freedom-loving, people-loving Americans to turn the tables on these charlatans and recapture the moral high ground through aggressive and intelligent messaging. We’ll never save this republic if we can’t make the case that government largesse is fundamentally destructive and incompetent and that the invisible hand of the market yields results across the board that are more beneficial for more people than those of any other system known to man.

Socialism kills, impoverishes and enslaves and only masquerades as compassion while facilitating the compassion merchants’ consolidation of power. Freedom brings prosperity and, if you insist on using compassion as the be-all-end-all yardstick, is abundantly compassionate.

Another U.S. Imam Prays for the Destruction of Jews “Wake up! It’s time to be a Muslim.”

This is not exceptional.  It is in accordance with the teachings of the Quran. What is exceptional is that these recordings (two different imams in one week) are seeing the light of day. Law enforcement has been broken and has caved to terror-linked organizations like CAIR and Muslim supremacist groups’ demands of an end to surveillance and other counter terrorism measures. Mayor de Blasio, for example, funds terror inciter Linda Sarsour to the tune of half a million dollars.
