{rickwells.us} ~ The Senate screen door is emerging as a more significant injury hazard as another RINO who was staring at defeat in 2018 decided he’ll attempt to slip through before it closes... that it’s better and more dignified to retire than to be ushered out through a primary loss. Chamber of Commerce puppet and open borders, gang of eight amnesty Senator RINO-Jeff Flake announced on the Senate floor that he would not be seeking reelection to his seat, already facing a tough challenger in Dr. Kelli Ward. Like his fellow Senator from Arizona, RINO-John McCain, RINO-Flake doesn’t seem to recognize that he’s really a Democrat and complained that the “coarseness” of President Trump had force him out... https://rickwells.us/flake-maga-run-re-election/

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ With Vice President Mike Pence casting the deciding vote, the Senate voted late Tuesday night to undo a rule issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau... that would bar financial firms from contracts that rule out class-action lawsuits related to their products. The measure now goes to President Trump's desk. Two Republicans, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and John Kennedy of Louisiana, voted no, forcing Pence to break the tie. The rule in question, commonly referred to as the forced-arbitration rule, was drafted during former President Barack liar-nObama's tenure and finalized in July by Bureau Director Richard Cordray, an liar-nObama appointee. It prevents banks and other financial firms from including clauses in contracts that steer customers away from class-action suits and into private arbitration...  http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/mike-pence-casts-tie-breaking-vote-to-cancel-obama-era-rule-favoring-class-action-suits-against-banks/article/2638533?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert%20-%2010/24/17&utm_medium=email

by Susan Stamper Brown
{townhall.com} ~ While the mainstream media is chasing their tail about supposed Trump-Russia collusion, the scandal involving Uranium One unfolds to expose a liar-Clinton-Russia connection as well as a stunning cover-up by the liar-nObama administration.

Rather than reporting real news, they continue to churn out phony news about phony news that Russia swayed the 2016 election with Facebook ads and a hodgepodge of other thus-far debunked Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theories.

The liar-Clintons’ chief political go-to guy Mark Penn, recently disproved the conspiracy theory that Russia swayed the 2016 election with $100,000 in Facebook ads.  Penn wrote in the Wall Street Journal that in the end, only $6,500 was spent on “actual electioneering” and most ads “did not solicit support for a candidate.”

Even if $100,000 was spent on actual electioneering, compare that to the liar-Clintons’ multi-million-dollar influence-peddling scheme going on while Russia was conspiring to grab 20-percent of U.S. uranium reserves with the acquisition of Uranium One.

As I wrote in a March column, Uranium One is a Russian-owned uranium mining company that lobbied the liar-nObama State Department through a firm co-founded by liar-Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign chairman, John Podesta.

Uranium One fell under the corporate control of Russia’s atomic energy agency Rosatom through a series of transactions approved by liar-Hillary Clinton’s State Department, effectively giving Russia control of 20 percent of U.S. uranium -- while a flow of cash found its way to the liar-Clinton Foundation.

All told, Newsweek reports $145 million went to the liar-Clinton Foundation or its initiatives from those linked to Uranium One. Former President liar-Bill Clinton also received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank promoting Uranium One stock with ties to the Kremlin.

Additionally, the chairman of Uranium One is a close friend of the liar-Clintons and is on the board of the liar-Clinton Foundation, according to Peter Schweizer, author of “liar-Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make liar-Bill and liar-Hillary Rich.”

Fast forward to now.

Enter: Rod Rosenstein, Andrew McCabe, Robert Mueller and James Comey --the same folks investigating the so-called Trump-Russia collusion investigation were also involved in Uranium One.
 
DOJ documents disclose the investigation was ultimately supervised by Rosenstein and  McCabe. Robert Mueller was FBI director when the probe began and James Comey was director until Trump fired him.

We now know the FBI was aware of multi-faceted Russian wrongdoing long before the Uranium One nuclear deal was approved.

The Hill reports the “FBI had gathered substantial evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering designed to grow Vladimir Putin’s atomic energy business inside the United States, according to government documents and interviews.”

Investigators also knew “Russians were compromising American contractors in the nuclear industry with kickbacks and extortion threats, all of which raised legitimate national security concerns,” The Hill reports.

Apparently, the liar-nObama administration was desperate to keep this under wraps and allegedly threatened an FBI informant to remain silent. Fox News reports that Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa has asked the DOJ to “lift an apparent ‘gag order’ on the FBI informant who “allegedly was ‘threatened’ by the liar-nObama administration to stay quiet.”

All that, while we were told there was nothing to see here.

Too much was at stake. liar-Hillary was supposed to win in 2016. Covering up this scandal was just as important to liar-nObama’s legacy as lying about Benghazi was to winning his re-election.

In the end, The DOJ managed to whisper out a vague press release before Labor Day 2015, mentioning a plea agreement and a four-year sentence for a handful of wrongdoings. Basically, a hand slap, despite mountains of evidence collected. Furthermore, the final investigation didn’t mention liar-nObama’s DOJ “slow-walked” the probe, despite serious national security concerns. Of course, the liar-Clintons got a pass with no mention of influence peddling or how the liar-Clinton Foundation benefited.

The mainstream media’s silence on this scandal is damning and yet another reason why most Americans don’t believe much of what they say.

New Hampshire: Why are police ignoring evidence that mosque is preaching jihad? (video)

Source: Robert Spencer video: Why are police ignoring evidence that mosque is preaching jihad?

In this new video, I explain what happened when an investigator found that a New Hampshire mosque was preaching jihad: instead of investigating, police cried “Islamophobia.”

Of course, the Manchester, New Hampshire police themselves don’t want to appear “Islamophobic,” and put that imperative above any responsibility they may have to protect their citizens. Find out how and why this fear of appearing “Islamophobic” became so all-pervasive in my new book, Confessions of an Islamophobe. Preorder your copy here now.

Maryland: Muslim immigrant & developer face lawsuit for selling homes to Muslims only

Source: Development under fire for only selling homes to Muslims – The Washington Post h/t Aida

JOPPATOWNE, Md. — Dueling legal complaints and allegations of Islamophobia have marred an unfinished retirement community in Maryland after homes were sold only to Muslims.

Planners say interest in the River Run development was strong before stalled county permits halted construction. Some elected officials and residents complained that the community violated fair-housing laws.

Stuck in the middle are Muslims who put down deposits to live in the quiet neighborhood overlooking the Gunpowder River — and non-Muslims who already live there.

The River Run development is slated for about 35 wooded acres in Joppatowne, Md., a community of about 12,000 people 20 miles northeast of Baltimore. More than 56 homes were approved for the lot more than a decade ago, but the project fell into disrepair after just four homes were built when a previous developer folded.

Then, last year, 46-year-old Faheem Younus, an infectious-disease doctor and an immigrant from Pakistan, teamed up with a different developer [Gemcraft Homes] to build a retirement community for older Ahmadiyya Muslims, adherents of a branch of Islam who preach tolerance and face repression from other Muslims around the world.

“There are many Jewish, Christian communities — we’re not reinventing the wheel here,” Younus said.

After a nationwide search, Younus settled on River Run. With a planned mosque and views of the river, the development offered what was advertised as a “peace village” for people 55 and older.

“This will be a community of 49 spacious brand new homes (Villas) for Ahmadi Muslims with a dedicated mosque within walking distance,” read a website this year advertising the community. That language was later removed, replaced with an update that touted an “audio feed from the adjacent mosque” for the daily call to prayer — before that language also was removed.

Some elected officials and residents, however, complained, saying the planned community violated fair-housing laws. Others questioned whether their town should open its arms to a neighborhood initially designed for Muslims.

Real estate agent Gina Pimentel filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development last month, claiming she couldn’t get information about the River Run units because Younus was “unlawfully privately marketing and selling only to Ahmadi Muslims.”

In an interview, Pimentel said she is not worried about Muslims living in the community, but about her business. She can’t earn a commission if she can’t sell homes, she said, and she was also concerned that lenders charging market interest rates might be cut out by Islamic rules against usury.

Elected officials entered the debate, including Maryland Del. Richard K. Impallaria (R-Baltimore County), who held two meetings about the community last month. Impallaria said the controversy is not about faith, but fairness.

“The leading problem on this project is the housing discrimination,” he said. “We really don’t need a group of people coming in that’s going to isolate themselves from the rest of the community — come in and do an end run around state, federal, county laws. It’s not a good way to start out as a good neighbor.”

At several town hall meetings, Younus and two fellow Ahmadis responded as about 25 residents asked about mortgages, diversity and Islam.

Younus said there were many misconceptions about the Joppatowne retirement community. River Run is open to everyone, he said, and was initially marketed only to Ahmadis because demand was high, which meant further advertising was unnecessary. Its planned mosque would now be a community center, he said.

The meeting occasionally grew heated. One man wearing a Rolling Stones T-shirt challenged Younus about the definition of “jihad.”

“Jihad is a war on the infidel, and I am the infidel,” he said. (The man declined to give his name to The Washington Post, calling it the “lying press.”)


There’s more, but what a better place to stop as WAPO is indeed part of the lying press. The Ahmidiyas are lying about jihad and the Koran too.

And don’t think that’s the only Muslim community in Maryland, it isn’t. Read – Maryland: Muslims buying row houses from city to ‘carve out a Muslim community’.

Bias Blindness Afflicts the Media
3apf94-QZBS4qmNtWWjBlrnfMKY3yn591CSoVY_IvND2S-izZ6nKB9fvZ8H1soZ5JaFVNvPmNjeoXy3Barpx9fehbgteQWb3Gto4TDnxjVAUreGIhLEUUHyRA7GWU44=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=500by Thomas Gallatin:  If one blatantly dismisses all accusation of bias as patently false when data would suggest otherwise, one will find little sympathy to accept one’s accusation of another as guilty of the same sin. Or to put it in more common parlance, it’s the pot calling the kettle black.

          Robert Epstein of the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, in the run-up to the presidential election, ran an experiment to determine just how biased toward leftist politics were the nation’s leading social media giants. As Frank Foer, a writer for The Atlantic, describes, “The social media companies are the gatekeepers. Whatever choices these companies make to elevate or bury information is very powerful and will have a big impact on what people read.” Epstein found that Google searches returned twice as many pro-liar-Hillary Clinton news articles as did Yahoo. Even more disturbing was Google’s targeting tactic. Men in blue states saw more than double the pro-liar-Clinton articles than did women in red states. Epstein charges that Google’s search algorithm ranked pro-liar-Hillary articles ahead of any positive articles on Donald Trump.
          Another study conducted by Nicholas Diakopoulos, a professor at Northwestern University, found that in December 2015 Google search results of presidential candidates showed seven out of every 10 articles were positive toward Democrats, whereas less than six out of 10 were positive for Republican candidates. We’re surprised it was that high. On election night, only 1% of 113 featured Google election-related searches produced articles from conservative news sources.
          Meanwhile, in spite of the mainstream media’s overwhelmingly negative coverage of Donald Trump, he won the election, which prompted the MSM to immediately lob charges of a dubious Trump/Russia collusion conspiracy as well as the “major” problem of “fake news.” Facebook later announced that it would be looking to develop programs to limit fake news, especially from the Russians. But conservative media outlets began to see more of their content limited on leading social media sites, such as Prager University witnessing much of its content on Google-owned YouTube being labeled as restricted for no apparent reason other than the fact that it promotes conservative ideology.
          So, is it really the Russians that the MSM and the social media giants are seeking to stop? If it is, they don’t seem to be doing a very good job. The Wall Street Journal reports that the Russian state-run news network RT is thriving on YouTube and Facebook. RT’s English language YouTube channel has garnered more than 2.1 billion views and has 2.2 million subscribers, putting it on par with CNN’s YouTube channel. Add another 3.3 billion views from 20 other RT-related YouTube channels and one can clearly see that the Russians are having little trouble getting their message into American media.
          The Journal reports, “Unlike other government-funded news outlets, such as the U.K.‘s BBC or the U.S.’s Radio Free Europe, researchers say RT is more overtly political, with a goal of undermining Western institutions and democracies. … Researchers and former RT employees say the outlet highlights conflict in the West, questions prevailing narratives in Western media and promotes conspiracy theories.”
          Humorously, CNN has just launched an ad campaign entitled “Facts First” designed to sell its brand as genuinely real news from a trusted source as opposed to fake news. The ad features an apple with a voice over telling viewers not to believe those who would say it is a banana. CNN, dost thou protest too much?  ~The Patriot Pos

{rickwells.us} ~ Dick Morris begins his remarks with a reminder of the investigation by the FBI of Russian bribery attempts “of all kinds of officials up and down the ladder in the United States... as part of Putin’s effort to get approval for a Russian dominated company to buy 20% of the uranium mines in the United States.” He notes that “The bribes included vendors and contractors and executives of the various firms. And they also involved payments to liar-Bill and liar-Hillary Clinton” and he gives examples. Beyond that criminal wrongdoing itself and the approval of the deal in spite of it, Morris asks other questions. Why was it never exposed? Why, during the 2016 campaign when accusations against Donald Trump about being in cahoots with the Russians, why did the FBI remain completely silent about the investigation, which had been going on for six years.?...  https://rickwells.us/morris-fbi-doj-gang-four/

Kurdish and Arab troops fighting under the umbrella of the Syrian Democratic Forces are moving to drive ISIS militants from their remaining positions in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor along the Iraqi border. SDF troops on Sunday seized Syria's largest oil field from the terrorist group, who used the site as a major source of revenue.

Nobody on the left is in the path of his investigation, least of all a liar-Clinton – liar-nObama insider. We’re supposed to all nod to each other and say, “Wow, we really had this straight shooter Mueller all wrong; he’s even going after Podesta.” If he’s lucky we won’t know which brother it is. But Mueller’s not going after him, the crime of not registering as a foreign agent is rarely prosecuted unless you’re a Trump insider.  He’s deflecting, which indicates the heat around his involvement with the cover up of the liar-Clintons accepting bribes and favors in exchange for our uranium might be hitting a little too close to home for Mueller’s comfort... https://rickwells.us/podesta-mueller-clinton-russia/

"Organizing for Action" (OFA)
by Charles Krauthammer
{washington Post.com} ~ I do not understand how living in a country with its democracy established over 200 years ago, and now, for the first time in history, suddenly we have one of our former presidents set up a group called "Organizing for Action" (OFA). 

OFA is 30,000+ strong and working to disrupt everything that our current president’s administration is trying to do. This organization goes against our Democracy, and it is an operation that will destroy our way of governing. It goes against our Constitution, our laws, and the processes established over 200 years ago. If it is allowed to proceed then we will be living in chaos very much like third world countries are run. What good is it to have an established government if it is not going to be respected and allowed to follow our laws? 

If you had an army some 30,000 strong and a court system stacked over the decades with judges who would allow you to break the laws, how much damage could you do to a country? We are about to find out in America! 

 
Our ex-president said he was going to stay involved through community organizing and speak out on the issues and that appears to be one post-administration promise he intends to keep. He has moved many of his administration's top dogs over to Organizing for Action. 

OFA is behind the strategic and tactical implementation of the resistance to the Trump Administration that we are seeing across America, and politically active courts are providing the leverage for this revolution. 

OFA is dedicated to organizing communities for "progressive" change. Its issues are gun control, socialist healthcare, abortion, sexual equality, climate change, and of course, immigration reform. 

OFA members were propped up by the ex-president's message from the shadows: "Organizing is the building block of everything great we have accomplished Organizers around the country are fighting for change in their communities and OFA is one of the groups on the front lines. Commit to this work in 2017 and beyond." 

OFA's website says it obtained its "digital" assets from the ex-president's re-election effort and that he inspired the movement. In short, it is the shadow government organization aimed at resisting and tearing down the Constitutional Republic we know as AMERICA. 

Paul Sperry, writing for the New York Post, says, “The OFA will fight President Donald Trump at every turn of his presidency and the ex-president will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House." 

Sperry writes that, “The ex-president is setting up a shadow government to sabotage the Trump administration through a network of non-profits led by OFA, which is growing its war chest (more than $40 million) and has some 250 offices nationwide. 

The OFA IRS filings, according to Sperry, indicate that the OFA has 32,525 (and growing) volunteers nationwide. The ex-president and his 'wife' will oversee the operation from their home/office in Washington DC.

Think about how this works. For example: Trump issues an immigration executive order; the OFA signals for protests and statements from pro-immigrant groups; the ACLU lawyers file lawsuits in jurisdictions where activist judges obstruct the laws; volunteers are called to protest at airports and Congressional town hall meetings; the leftist media springs to action in support of these activities; the twitter sphere lights up with social media; and violence follows. All of this happens from the ex-president's signal that he is heartened by the protests. 

If Barack liar-nObama did not do enough to destroy this country in the 8 years he was in office, it appears his future plans are to destroy the foundation on which this country has operated on for the last 241 years. 

If this does not scare you, then we are in worse trouble than you know. 

So, do your part. You have read it, so at least pass this on so others will know what we are up against. We are losing our country and we are so compliant. We are becoming a "PERFECT TARGET" for our enemy!

REPORT: Hillary Clinton’s Campaign, DNC Funded Trump Dossier. Here’s What You Need To Know.

Melina Mara/The Washington Post via Getty Images

A new report released on Tuesday evening claims that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) helped pay for the largely unproven Trump-Russia dossier which contains wild and salacious claims and was used as the basis for starting an investigation into Trump’s campaign for alleged ties to Russian officials.

The bombshell report from The Washington Post comes just days after Clinton told C-SPAN that President Trump and Fox News were trying to distract the nation from the “real Russian ties between Trump associates and real Russians,” and that the real story was how “nervous” the Trump administration was becoming.

In that vein, here is what you need to know from The Washington Post’s report:

  • Marc E. Elias, an attorney who represented Clinton’s campaign and the DNC, used Fusion GPS to conduct “research” on then-candidate Donald Trump.
  • According to sources, Fusion GPS hired former British intelligence official Christopher Steele to compile the dossier.
  • Elias reportedly retained Fusion GPS starting in April 2016 “on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC” — right before Trump became the GOP presumptive nominee — all the way until the end of October 2016.
  • Prior to working for the Clinton campaign and the DNC, Fusion GPS began researching Trump and was funded by “a still unknown Republican client.”
  • While it is still unknown how much was paid for the dossier, the Post alleges that the Clinton campaign and the DNC paid Elias’ law firm, Perkins Coie, a total of $9.2 million from June 2015 through December 2016.
  • The Post claims that neither the Clinton campaign nor the DNC directed Steele’s activities who then shared some of his findings with officials at the FBI.
  • “After the election, the FBI agreed to pay Steele to continue gathering intelligence about Trump and Russia, but the bureau pulled out of the arrangement after Steele was publicly identified in news reports,” the Post reports.

Other important facts to remember about the dossier:

  • Evidence suggests Fusion GPS was paid by Russia while compiling the Trump dossier, which is important because, if true, it destroys the narrative that Russia was trying to help Trump win.
  • Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) “who was informed about the existence of the documents separately by an intermediary from a western allied state, dispatched an emissary overseas to meet the source and then decided to present the material to Comey in a one-on-one meeting on 9 December, according to a source aware of the meeting,” The Guardian reported.
  • Fusion GPS sent their “findings” to The New York Times, The Washington Post, Yahoo, The New Yorker, and CNN, who all initially refused to publish them.

Fusion GPS also does not have the most credible and ethical track record. The firm is accused of “spreading misinformation, disinformation and smears” by a Venezuelan journalist who claimed Fusion GPS tried to ruin him after he reported on a company that hired the firm, Fox News reported. The Venezuelan journalist, Alek Boyd, told Fox News that Fusion GPS labeled him as a “pedophile,” “extortionist,” and “drug trafficker” after he exposed corruption inside one of Fusion’s clients.

As a strong Trump deplorable, I think I am going to be sick over Trump's support for killing a new rule allowing class-action lawsuits against banks. What is he thinking? His flimsy excuse for supporting this U.S. Chamber of Crypto-Fascist, Crony Commerce sponsored legislation is to avoid litigation costs, which would simply be passed down to consumers. What nonsense! Even if that was true, market competition would deal with this issue, assuming there still is a robust competition within the banking industry -- which I doubt.
My hat's off to the Democrats for finally standing up for middle-class, working Americans. Keep this up and they might win a few more elections.

After Reporter Says Trump is “Doing Nothing,” Sarah Unleashes Dem’s WORST Nightmare

By admin | October 24, 2017 0 Comment

Sarah Huckabee Sanders held an on-camera press briefing today where hostile reporters questioned her on everything from President Trump’s tax reform plans to his phone call with the widow of one of the U.S. soldiers killed in the ambush attack in Niger earlier this month.Sarah was not taking any of the reporters’ sass today as they were even more hostile than usual. Hallie Jackson on behalf of MSNBC asked how Sarah feels that “history will judge” President Trump and his policy initiatives. “…Policy initiatives, like tax reform, that have not been completed. … The lack of support from somebody like Bob Corker, might make that a lot more difficult. Given that, does the President feel like he is winning.” Sarah looked at her sneering face and hit her with the brutal TRUTH that she did not want to hear. “I think he feels like America is winning. I think if you look at some of the progress that’s taken place in the first nine months, despite the fact that Congress has done very little up until this point, the President has gotten rid of nearly 1000 regulations that have paved the way for massive job creation and job growth in this country. We are looking at a booming economy. I think those are things that people actually care about.”Sarah went on to school this woman on all of the other things Trump has been able to achieve without this obstructionist Congress. This is EPIC. “We are looking at the defeat of ISIS, something that this President has lead on and worked with our Coalition forces to help do. He’s created better relationships with countries around the globe. He has bolstered the relationship with NATO and … encouraged the amount that other countries are participating. The historic moment that we saw with the President on his first foreign trip when he was in Saudi Arabia and he spoke in front of nearly 60 Muslim majority countries. These are historic moments that he has done WITHOUT Congress. Imagine how incredible and how many good things we would be doing if people like Senator Bob Corker got on board and started doing their job instead of doing so much grandstanding on TV.” BOOM! This is why the American people love President Trump and will re-elect him in 2020! Despite having the most obstructionist Congress in history, he has achieved so much through sheer determination and persistence! SHARE this EVERYWHERE if you think President Trump is doing a GREAT job for the American people! Sarah Huckabee Sanders Just Revealed Her SECRET Ritual Before White House Press Briefings Sarah Huckabee Sanders sat down with Fox News’ Dana Perino on Sunday for a one-on-one interview talking in-depth about her role as White House press secretary for President Trump. The pair talked about the tension between the press and the Trump administration and what that means for Sarah’s job every day. In the middle of the interview, Sarah and Dana were talking about what they do each day when they walk into their jobs and Sarah’s secret ritual she performs before walking into the press briefing room will crack you up. “I say a little prayer of ‘God help me’ everyday right before walking into that room. Sarah likely needs all the help she can get with the hostile media that is determined to make President Trump and his administration look bad.Thank you for the excellent job you are doing, and we are so glad that you give God the glory and praise. SHARE this EVERYWHERE if you think President Trump is doing a GREAT job for the American people!

Trump Just FIRED 800 Gov’t Workers And Put 200 More On Notice After Uncovering SICK Thing They ALL Did

We all witnessed the disgusting way Obama treated our military over the past 8 years where he reduced Marines to his personal servants to shield him from the rain, often times arrogantly refusing to even return a salute. Who can forget the images of Obama standing in front of the flag-draped coffins of our heroes back in 2012 as he lied his ass off about Benghazi, blaming the attack on a YouTube video?

But perhaps Obama’s biggest stab at our military was promising our heroes to “fix the broken VA,” but going on to completely ignore that campaign promise, as hundreds of thousands of veterans would go on to be forgotten, dying while waiting to be treated at VA hospitals across the nation.

Thankfully, the days of our military heroes being forgotten and treated like crap are finally over. President Trump is not only fixing the VA that Obama failed to do, but is making Obama’s corrupt VA officials pay the ultimate price for their negligence. In a clean sweep that happened in the overnight hours, it’s being reported that 500 VA employees have just been terminated, and an additional 200 have been suspended for their shady conduct.

Va Secretary David Shulkin said in a written statement that he is doing everything to hold VA employees accountable and will now make the actions of all employees transparent to tax payers, as they have the “right to know” what is going on. The Starts and Stripes reports that a list was posted online over the weekend containing the date and type of disciplinary actions for the 800 employees that President Trump is cracking down on.

Mad Maxine’s House Seat Challenger says LOCK HER UP for Threats Against President *VIDEO* #MediaInfidels #Trump

Navarro responded to Waters’ threat, saying she should be arrested.

“I’m calling for the arrest of Maxine Waters. Let’s get ready for it,” Navarro tweeted.

“Secret Service should call for Maxine Waters immediate resignation after these comments. We don’t need lip service,” he had tweeted previously.

Navarro is doing his best to draw attention to the fact that Waters is completely unfit for office. He faces an uphill battle in his bid to win in California’s extremely leftist 43rd district. When he challenged Waters in 2016, he was soundly defeated, with Waters collecting 76% of the votes, while Omar only received 24%.

Navarro did find some support from Lawrence Jones, who during a Fox News appearance warned that Water’s comments could inspire people to “assassinate Republicans”.

99% of Union Donations Go to Leftist Causes and Candidates
WS874s_uXxwa-OUzII2zyXxzluMzKZ3m9dR3TYslH5upjftq2GrQ51Sle7tbSC6SuxPj_1EIH3cF5bjJ2_7qZGO5VyWHMaVMRYoV4eHYkhpIYSO9EMAiu_RCuSpo3rI=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=500by Political Editors:  From 2012 through 2016, labor unions donated roughly $765 million to political causes and groups, and a staggering 99% of those donations went to leftist political causes or candidates. Luka Ladan, communications director for the Center for Union Facts, stated, “For years, labor unions have hijacked member dues to fund Planned Parenthood, Emily’s List and other pro-abortion groups. Yet many union members oppose the abortion lobby. The Employee Rights Act would require union officials to obtain permission before spending dues dollars on left-wing political advocacy.”

          For example, in 2007 alone, labor unions donated $1.8 million to Planned Parenthood, $810,000 to Emily’s Choice and $45,000 to NARAL Pro-Choice America. Often a majority of union members do not know that their dues are funding the abortion lobby. “Big Labor doesn’t really want to publicize it,” Ladan said. Public unions are hardly better. In fact, the Supreme Court will soon hear a caseinvolving their political contributions.
          Recognizing the massive imbalance in union spending on leftist political causes, Pennsylvania AFL-CIO President Rick Bloomingdale stated in July, “We may have gotten too close to one party. We should be for people who are for us, regardless of party label.”
          Now there’s a novel concept, considering that roughly 40% of union household members vote Republican.
          The Employee Rights Act, introduced in the House this past May, seeks to stop current unfair labor union practices by enabling workers the freedom to select or refrain from union representation, as well as require union officials to obtain permission from members before spending dues on causes they may oppose. There’s a reason why unions have steadily lost membership, much of it having to do with the fact that union leadership for years has been using member dues as slush funds for Democrats and leftist politics rather than truly advocating for workers’ rights. Hopefully, the Employee Rights Act passes, giving not only workers more choice in accepting union representation, but also giving union members the power to choose those political causes they wish to support.  ~The Patriot Pos

The Demo/MSM's Gold Star Defamation
TsUpgNPsOdymPNYVr0hGs-cZWbUi4vYVwzGxZkBCzg6S2fGBuq9Yg7sCR4SUO0dX4oj6oGrvfu5eyoa_CrWDpJVdfZ5R0NakGOEFYyLLy0guWIb5OXo_33gIJD16aIc=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=500by Political Editors:  Last Thursday, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly sought to put to bed a week-long, Leftmedia-driven story of Donald Trump’s phone call to a grieving widow. Kelly rightly called out Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) as an “empty barrel” for her self-promoting politicizing of a sacred, private event — separate from her criticism of Trump’s phone call and exploitation of a widow’s grief — even though he was inaccurate on the details. His point was that Wilson is a grandstanding narcissist who, in the words of White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, is “all hat, no cattle.” Kelly is exactly right. Ignoring his call for respecting American military personnel killed in action and their grieving loved ones, however, Wilson and her cohorts in the media labeled Kelly’s remarks as racist, demanded an apology for Kelly’s “character assassination,” and further churned an entire weekend’s worth of “news.”

          Meanwhile, having already once made this assertion, on Sunday Wilson tweeted that “Niger is [Trump’s] Benghazi. He needs to own it.” Like the good Demo/MSM propaganda outlet that it is, CNN and other Leftmedia outlets took the cue to search for the “massive intelligence failure” in Niger prior to the ambush killings of four Americans. CNN also sought to exploit other grieving Gold Star parents in an attempt to paint Trump as uncaring and un-presidential.
          Mark Alexander explains, “CNN is doing everything possible to use the death of four Americans in Niger as political fodder to hack Trump. This time, it’s trotting out a grieving couple whose son was recently killed complete with subtext lines initially targeting Trump. But this family had no intention of letting their son’s death be used as fodder for CNN’s totally disgraceful political charade.”
          In continuing to run with this story, CNN and the Leftmedia are not simply continuing their anti-Trump resistance campaign. They are seeking to sow division between military members and Trump, as well as divert attention away from, of all issues, Russia. The Mueller Special Counsel investigation into Russian election meddling has recently turned its focus onto several Democrats. There is also renewed interest being shown over the deal Barack liar-nObama and then-Secretary of State liar-Hillary Clinton made with the Russians to sell them uranium.
          Back to that CNN interview — a tearful Sheila Murphy, the mother of a fallen soldier, told the host, “I have no hard feeling towards anyone, because it’s not about me. It’s about my child and all the other countless fallen heroes, and those who are still over there now and the families that are here grieving. … That’s what it’s all about. I don’t want it to be about me or a letter, I want it to be about my child. And what he stood for, and what they’re fighting for over there right now as I speak.” Wise words.

VIDEO:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CY0pu48d0B0

          Addendum: Myeshia Johnson, the widow in Trump’s infamous phone call, broke her silence, saying, “What he said was — yes the president — said that he knew what [my husband, Sgt. La David Johnson] signed up for, but it hurts anyways. And I was — it made me cry because I was very angry at the tone of his voice and how he said it. He couldn’t remember my husband’s name.” She added, “Whatever Ms. Wilson said was not fabricated, what she said was 100 percent correct.”
          Trump, naturally, punched back on Twitter, saying, “I had a very respectful conversation with the widow of Sgt. La David Johnson, and spoke his name from beginning, without hesitation!”
          Memo to Trump: Posting anything about this on Twitter cheapens ALL of it.  ~The Patriot Post

ARE OUR MIDEAST WARS FOREVER?

by PATRICK J. BUCHANAN
{wnd.com} ~ “The Kurds have no friends but the mountains,” is an old lament. Last week, it must have been very much on Kurdish minds.

As their U.S. allies watched, the Kurdish peshmerga fighters were run out of Kirkuk and all the territory they had captured fighting ISIS alongside the Americans. The Iraqi army that ran them out was trained and armed by the United States.

The U.S. had warned the Kurds against holding the referendum on independence on Sept. 25, which carried with 92 percent. Iran and Turkey had warned against an independent Kurdistan that could be a magnet for Kurdish minorities in their own countries.

But the Iraqi Kurds went ahead. Now they have lost Kirkuk and its oil, and their dream of independence is all but dead.

More troubling for America is the new reality revealed by the rout of the peshmerga. Iraq, which George W. Bush and the neocons were going to fashion into a pro-Western democracy and American ally, appears to be as close to Iran as it is to the United States.

After 4,500 U.S. dead, scores of thousands wounded and a trillion dollars sunk, our 15-year war in Iraq could end with a Shiite-dominated Baghdad aligned with Tehran.

With that grim prospect in mind, Secretary Rex Tillerson said Sunday, “Iranian militias that are in Iraq, now that the fight against … ISIS is coming to a close … need to go home. Any foreign fighters in Iraq need to go home.”

Tillerson meant Iran’s Quds Force in Iraq should go home, and the Shiite militia in Iraq should be conscripted into the army.

But what if the Baghdad regime of Haider al-Abadi does not agree? What if the Quds Force does not go home to Iran and the Shiite militias that helped retake Kirkuk refuse to enlist in the Iraqi army?

Who then enforces Tillerson’s demands?

Consider what is happening in Syria.

The U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, largely Kurdish, just annihilated ISIS in Raqqa and drove 60 miles to seize Syria’s largest oil field, al-Omar, from ISIS. The race is now on between the SDF and Bashar Assad’s army to secure the border with Iraq.

Bottom line: The U.S. goal of crushing the ISIS caliphate is almost attained. But if our victory in the war against ISIS leaves Iran in the catbird seat in Baghdad and Damascus, and its corridor from Tehran to Baghdad, Damascus and Beirut secure, is that really a victory?

Do we accept that outcome, pack up and go home? Or do we leave our forces in Syria and Iraq and defy any demand from Assad to vacate his country?

Sunday’s editorial in the Washington Post, “The Next Mideast Wars,” raises the crucial questions now before us.

Would President Trump be willing to fight a new war to keep Iran from consolidating its position in Iraq and Syria? Would the American people support such a war with U.S. troops?

Would Congress, apparently clueless to the presence of 800 U.S. troops in Niger, authorize a new U.S. war in Syria or Iraq?

If Trump and his generals felt our vital interests could not allow Syria and Iraq to drift into the orbit of Iran, where would we find allies for such a fight?

If we rely on the Kurds in Syria, we lose NATO ally Turkey, which regards Syria’s Kurds as collaborators of the PKK in Turkey, which even the U.S. designates a terrorist organization.

The decision as to whether this country should engage in new post-ISIS wars in the Mideast, however, may be taken out of our hands.

Saturday, Israel launched new air strikes against gun positions in Syria in retaliation for shells fired into the Golan Heights.

Damascus claims that Israel’s “terrorist” allies inside Syria fired the shells, to give the IDF an excuse to attack.

Why would Israel wish to provoke a war with Syria?

Because the Israelis see the outcome of the six-year Syrian civil war as a strategic disaster.

Hezbollah, stronger than ever, was part of Assad’s victorious coalition. Iran may have secured its land corridor from Tehran to Beirut. Its presence in Syria could now be permanent.

And only one force in the region has the power to reverse the present outcome of Syria’s civil war – the United States.

Bibi Netanyahu knows that if war with Syria breaks out, a clamor will arise in Congress to have the U.S. rush to Israel’s aid.

Closing its Sunday editorial, the Post instructed the president:

“A failure by the United States to defend its allies or promote new political arrangements for Syria and Iraq will lead only to more war, the rise of new terrorist threats, and, ultimately, the necessity of more U.S. intervention.”

The interventionist Post is saying: The situation is intolerable. Confront Assad and Iran now, or fight them later.

Trump is being led to the Rubicon. If he crosses, he joins Bush II in the history books.

Gardner (1912-2002)

          Upright: “We are supposed to believe that [Russia] bought the American presidential election last year with $100,000 in Facebook ads and some other digital activity. Frankly, if American democracy can be purchased this cheap — a tiny fraction of the $7.2 million William Seward paid to buy Alaska from the Russians back in 1867 — it’s probably not worth having. … Much of the Russian Facebook activity was peddling online tripe indistinguishable from indigenous American online tripe — in fact, it was ripped off from content produced by Americans. If the Russians are going to decide our elections on social media, one assumes it will require at least a little originality.” —Rich Lowry
          The BIG Lie: “[The Uranium One allegations are] the same bologna they’ve been peddling for years, and there’s been no credible evidence by anyone. In fact, it’s been debunked repeatedly and will continue to be debunked. … Trump and his allies, including Fox News, are really experts at distraction and diversion. So the closer the investigation about real Russian ties between Trump associates and real Russians … the more they want to just throw mud on the wall. And I’m their favorite target.” —liar-Hillary Clinton
          Non Compos Mentis: “Am I mad at God? Yeah, I’m mad at him. I wish I had more protection. I wish this stuff didn’t happen. I can’t explain it to you. Yeah, I’m mad at him.” —Bill O'Reilly
          For the record: “Bill O'Reilly can keep being mad with God, blaming victims and everyone else, and denying he did anything wrong, but the inescapable fact is that much money does not change hands without something having happened. Until Bill O'Reilly repents and shows some level of contrition, we should keep him at arm’s length for his own sake. He needs to get right with God and his apologists are keeping that from happening.” —Erick Erickson
          Village Idiots: “[The punishing of protestors] reinforces institutionalized white supremacy — and other oppressive forms of systemic power — by criminalizing the self-advocacy undertaken by the most vulnerable populations in our nation’s colleges and universities.” —USC professor Charles H.F. Davis
          And last… “How can something be Trump’s Benghazi if the real one didn’t belong to liar-Hillary or liar-nObama?” —Twitter satirist @hale_razor

Sen Cotton Russia Dossier Anonymous 
Fiction – Money Trail May Hold Key

{rickwells.us} ~ Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, on Monday publicly questioned the veracity of the infamous Trump Russia dossier... He says he’s yet to see any evidence that the widely discredited document is anything other than a work of fiction. Cotton suggested that the dossier, which was compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele in conjunction with the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, could have been a creative writing product financed either by a Democrat supporting liar-Hillary Clinton or by Russian Intelligence. Cotton said, at an event hosted by conservative think tank the Hudson Institute, “I think you can’t give any credibility to it at this point, certainly not until we answer those questions, nor have I seen any reason to do so.”...  https://rickwells.us/cotton-russia-dossier-fiction-money/

{wnd.com} ~ There’s finally real evidence in the big Russia scandal, and rather than implicating President Trump, it shows the liar-Clintons and former President liar-nObama colluded with Russia to sell American uranium and, in doing so... compromised U.S. national security. That’s why Special Counsel Robert Mueller is on the case, according to talk-radio kingpin Rush Limbaugh. Mueller is actually working to protect top Democrats who were involved in the scandalous uranium deal, Limbaugh said during his Monday show... http://www.wnd.com/2017/10/limbaugh-reveals-theory-on-secret-reason-for-mueller-probe/

{dailysignal.com} ~ The loss of four special operations soldiers in Niger is a tragedy. We grieve as a nation, rightly, whenever we lose any of the brave young men and women who serve in uniform... That said, politicians and news media are turning the event into a farce. Having served as an Army Green Beret for 28 years, I cannot let the mischaracterizations—many by leaders who clearly know better—continue without a comment. The mission in Niger, which began in 2013, was a classic special operations. The type of operation is called foreign internal defense...  http://dailysignal.com/2017/10/23/special-ops-mission-niger-routine-common-stop-politicizing/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiT0RkbU5qWXdNR0kwWmprMCIsInQiOiJZNGJESWxVKzNBTTVuaVYwUTJVYmFvU1JvK2dcL2dSNm1kWW5ieDY2alJpdWxiWGkwWjMwZXFuVUJyTFVrVnAzTnNQcnl4ZjJaUldxZ29IRWlWV1MyU0dHMzliXC8wXC9ZSVwveGp2RVpESm9DQVBYUTNMaEEwZWpxcnlRNlRxUUxhaTEifQ%3D%3D

90-Year-Old WWI Cross Memorial Ruled Unconstitutional
3EKfUKEcZP_jicoIgcd6lgaFvws5XBK2H_82ObsKPtEmULTVnniSbz9VE3mrCpVPR5HAIkRo-hz8IBgh8tFiiSDe0qa47HecW-GFy4VlsSQg5zSzs17fjNwkSXPvK68=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=500by Culture Beat:  The Fourth Circuit Court recently ruled in a 2-1 decision that a 40-foot tall cross honoring Prince George’s County, Maryland, veterans who died fighting in World War I was unconstitutional because it violates the Establishment Clause. The monument, known as the Peace Cross, was erected in 1925 with funding from local families and The American Legion and it sits on public land. It has been maintained over the years by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, a state agency.

          Chief Judge Roger L. Gregory, who was the sole judge voting against the majority decision, stated that the majority “ignores certain elements of the memorial … and confuses maintenance of a highway median and monument in a state park with excessive religious entanglement.” He also said, “This memorial stands in witness to the valor, endurance, courage and devotion of the forty-nine residents of Prince George’s County, Maryland ‘who lost their lives in the Great War for the liberty of the world.’ I cannot agree that a monument so conceived and dedicated and that bears such witness violates the letter or spirit of the very Constitution these heroes died to defend.”
          In its ruling the court rejected the argument that since Arlington National Cemetery contains overt displays of religious symbols, specifically crosses, and is public land, that removing the Peace Cross would set a precedent that would eventually require the removal of those religious symbols as well. Judge Stephanie Thacker said that the difference here is one of size, “The crosses there are much smaller than the 40-foot tall monolith at issue here,” she said. “And, significantly, Arlington National Cemetery displays diverse religious symbols, both as monuments and on individual headstones.”
            So, once again the First Amendment declaration that government should not establish any one religion is used to eliminate the free exercise of it. Moreover, the symbol of the cross is understood to be synonymous with sacrifice, an entirely appropriate symbol to use to recognize the ultimate sacrifice these men gave in service to their country. It’s a shame that the prejudicial offense of the few should so limit the freedom of expression for the entire country.  ~The Patriot Post

THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW
by Burt Prelutsky


How is it that it’s apparently illegal to remove labels from pillows and mattresses, but politicians are free to mislabel themselves? After all, manufacturers are not permitted to mislabel their products. Supermarkets are just begging for trouble if they try to pass off ground round as ground sirloin, so why should it be any more permissible for politicians to blatantly lie about themselves?

Why should people like RINO-Susan Collins, RINO-Lisa Murkowski and RINO-John McCain, to mention just three of the most flagrant examples, be allowed to continue calling themselves Republicans? Or, for that matter, why should the Senate’s proudest and most prominent Marxist, Bernie Sanders, get away with labeling himself an Independent?

Speaking of labels, how stupid is Joe Manchin that he wishes to continue calling himself a Democrat when he represents and clearly wishes to continue representing West Virginia, a state that Donald Trump carried by 300,577 votes, trouncing Mrs. liar-Clinton 489,371 to 188,794.

Manchin still has a few months in which to change his registration before the 2018 election. But he shouldn’t wait too long. After what Trump has done for the coalmining industry by defanging liar-nObama’s EPA, he’d win by an even larger margin than he did last year.

● Something that confounds me about black voters is that there is no discernible difference between the way that welfare junkies cast their votes than the way that responsible blacks who get up in the morning, go to work to support their families and come home to help raise their children, vote.

How is it that decent, hard-working, black men vote for the same people as the black riffraff who refuse to marry their pregnant girl-friends and who peddle or use illegal drugs?

I understand that black celebrities are as stupid and egotistical as white ones, which explains black millionaires taking a knee at sporting events, pledging fealty to Black Lives Matter and encouraging Johnnie Cochran to free O.J.

But how is it that the 30% of blacks who do get married and raise their children in two-parent homes vote the same way as the 70% who don’t, resulting in Democrats garnering roughly 95% of the total black vote in one election after another?

I mean, even Jews, who are notorious for voting foolishly, aren’t as slavishly devoted to liberals as blacks are, and have been known on occasion to give 25-30% of their votes to Republicans.

● A friend wrote, asking if I thought that Tyler Perry, a black entrepreneur best known for starring as a sassy black woman in a series of comedies that he also wrote, directed and produced, was a worthy role model for black kids.

I said that so far as I knew, he was okay, so long as you didn’t hold his friendship with Oprah Winfrey against him, but I doubted if black kids lacked for idols. I mean, they’ve grown up in a world where blacks haven’t lacked for fame and fortune, achieving the highest level possible in entertainment, athletics and even, God help us, politics.

“However,” I went on, “I suspect that most of their heroes are neighborhood gangbangers, the people they see every day, the ones that are so easy to emulate because it doesn’t require that the kids crack a book, only someone’s head.

“That is why I have always said that part of sentencing black and Hispanic gang members should be to put them in dresses, slap some lipstick and rouge on them, and then drive the schmucks around on a flatback truck in the hood, so the little kids could see them shamed in front of their friends and relatives.”

● In reading about the depravity of Harvey Weinstein, it occurred to me that an awful lot of women remained silent for decades, not because all of the authorities would have been as complicit in Weinstein’s crimes as the NYC D.A., Cyrus Vance, but because they were so utterly determined to become movie stars.

That got me to thinking about the fates of so many of Hollywood’s sex symbols. There was Jean Harlow, dead at 26; Jayne Mansfield, 34; and Marilyn Monroe, a corpse at 36. I wonder how many of the aspiring actresses who allowed themselves to be used and abused by Swinestein would have done so, even if they had somehow known they’d never make it to 40.

If that seems outlandish, consider the large number of celebrities who were dead of drug overdoses in their 20s and 30s. They certainly knew the risk. I even recall Dick Cavett interviewing the father-daughter combination of John Phillips, Papa John of the Mamas and Papas, and Mackenzie Phillips, co-star of the TV sit com, “One Day at a Time.”

Cavett asked them, both admitted drug users, if it didn’t give them pause when they’d hear about one of their friends overdosing on heroin or cocaine. They exchanged a knowing look and nearly laughed at his naivety; both assured him that they’d immediately want to find out the friend’s drug connection because it meant the stuff he was supplying was high grade.

● One of my subscribers who prefers to be identified as Citizen X wrote to say that one of the troubles with those readily-available college loans isn’t just that it forces parents and students to go into debt, but that it keeps colleges and universities from having to compete with each other by offering lower tuitions.

There are a great many pinheads, especially in academia, who object to competition because they think it fosters ill-feelings, which explains why some schools have resorted to report cards that don’t mention grades at all, but merely indicate Pass or Fail; and some have even done away with valedictorians because they subscribe to the bizarre belief that if everybody can’t be one, nobody should.

Is it any wonder that by the time the young morons get to college, they’re in desperate need of sanctuaries filled with security blankets and teddy bears if someone dares object to one of their insipid opinions?

● If I’m driving on the weekend, when political talk radio tends to disappear from the airwaves, leaving mushy-mouthed jocks to hold forth on football, I tend to listen to the classical music station.

Last Sunday, I was stuck with opera. And not just opera, but German opera. I can’t even imagine why German composers ever bother writing love songs. After listening to just thirty minutes of the stuff, I felt myself overwhelmed by a strange desire to invade Poland.

● Thanks to Kim Jong-un, I have been giving more thought than usual to the idea of a nuclear holocaust. It occurred to me that the only two species likely to survive the devastation are cockroaches and bureaucrats.

● I recently mentioned that Pat Sajak, best known to the world as the benign host of “Wheel of Fortune,” is not only an ardent conservative and a member of the board of Hillsdale College, but a very witty guy. But because I don’t tweet or follow other people’s tweets, aside from those of Donald Trump that are passed along on news shows, I miss out on a lot of Sajak’s witticisms.

In the aftermath of the uproar over Columbus Day, I am grateful to Chicago’s Penny Alfonso for finding the time to pass along one of Sajak’s recent tweets: “Looking forward to my upcoming trip to Indigenous People, Ohio.”

{dailysignal.com} ~ The Trump administration is attempting to do what past administrations have either failed to do or blocked: open up part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil and gas drilling... The House recently passed a budget proposal that opens the door to allowing drilling in the refuge. The bill now stands in the Senate and could be well received at the White House, which included royalties from drilling in the refuge in its budget proposal. Last month, The New York Times obtained an internal memo from the Interior Department, which proposed the lifting of restrictions on exploratory seismic studies in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The agency was directed to provide an environmental assessment and a rule allowing for new exploration plans...http://dailysignal.com/2017/10/20/trump-looks-to-open-up-arctic-wildlife-refuge-to-oil-drilling-something-alaskans-want/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=tds-fb?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CapitolBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTmpaaVkySXhZekZoWmpsaCIsInQiOiJiS0lVZjlFV1pGRDQ0bUpVQm5FaTFqUXZkN1d1ZVpZV0NZU2tjSHZBT3l4d2w4T3hoZE1wQmp2XC9mWlp1ME5CeCtrWHBpQm1ZdlpORG1CUzRVYzhPUWJpY3FiMUxsQ2x2RFNET0RmK3pwNjlHaDFZVFgydGF4NVQxRmhlS09meTgifQ%3D%3D

George Soros's Latest Effort to Fundamentally Transform America
9ltdpv43CTfWK15hnMM7Ifw7U2NWtLLmZHcaLsqlRcvrZMc6g59spdeelcJas9_a68mjUEyLMEUvrOJPHhaxbhbkRTvUmV6KJYZOkabaRGSStGXLsjEGkqjSnspHhX0=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=500by Arnold Ahlert:  George Soros has decided to put some serious money behind his radical leftist agenda. According to The Wall Street Journal, the billionaire activist has provided the Open Society Foundations with $18 billion in funding, vaulting the firm he founded into the upper echelons of philanthropic organizations. According to 2014 figures from the National Philanthropic Trust, only the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has more U.S. assets.

          As of now Soros’s agenda remains unstated, but as columnist Alex Newman accurately notes, Soros has provided funding for “everything from globalism and Big Government to abortion, racial hatred, radical politicians, nationalized police, liar-Hillary Clinton, mass Islamic migration, illegal war, and open borders.” The Journal explains how the new arrangement works:
          Soros Fund Management LLC’s 87-year-old founder now shares influence over the firm’s strategy with an investment committee of Open Society. Mr. Soros set up the committee and is its chairman, but it is meant to survive him, people familiar with it said.
          A new chief investment officer at the Soros firm is less a trader than an allocator of capital to various internal and external asset managers. Unlike past investment chiefs, the official, Dawn Fitzpatrick, doesn’t report to Mr. Soros or others at his firm but to the philanthropy’s investment committee.
          Soros doesn’t plan to trade the funds he’s allocated to the firm. Rather the money will be used to set up an “ongoing process of migration from a hedge fund toward a pool of capital deployed to support a foundation over the long term,” as chief executive of General Atlantic LLC and committee member Bill Ford explains.
          What are Soros’s long term objectives? In 2009 he told the Financial Times that the future should be “owned” by China. “I think you need a new world order, that China has to be part of the proc¬ess of creating it and they have to buy in, they have to own it in the same way as the United States owns … the current order,” he stated.
          A year later, while receiving the Globalist of the Year award from the Canadian International Council, he reiterated his China-centric vision. “They have now got to accept responsibility for world order and the interests of other people as well,” he stated. “Today, China has not only a more vigorous economy, but actually a better functioning government than the United States.”
          The would be a vigorous, communist-controlled economy that has sold America poisonous pet food and toxic drywall, courtesy of an authoritarian government that has been a serial human rights violator for decades.
          Why would Soros support worldwide authoritarian rule? “I admit that I have always harbored an exaggerated view of self-importance — to put it bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of god,” he stated in his 1987 book, “The Alchemy of Finance.”
          An aberration? Not when you say it twice. “It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out,” he told The Independent in 1993.
          Unbridled megalomania goes a long way toward explaining why Soros has endeavored to advance his progressive globalist agenda through organizations operating in more than 100 countries. It is an agenda, former DOJ attorney J. Christian Adams revealed last November, that leaked funding documents reveal extends to spending hundreds of millions of dollars on “often-secret efforts to change election laws, fuel litigation to attack election integrity measures, push public narratives about voter fraud, and to integrate the political ground game of the left with efforts to scare racial minority groups about voting rights threats.”
          Last January’s “Women’s March on Washington,” promoted as a “spontaneous” grass roots event, turned out to be a Trump bash-fest with Soros underwriting at least 56 of the event’s “partners.” Soros has also been instrumental in funding Black Lives Matter, another entity that claimed it was a spontaneous uprising engendered by racial frustration. Accuracy in Media’s James Simpson reveals it was anything but, detailing its ties to several Marxist organizations, many of which also received funding from Soros directly, or Soros-funded organizations like the Tide Foundation.
          Other Soros-backed groups include the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the Center for American Progress, the Advancement Project, the Center for Community Change, the Brennan Center, and the ostensibly non-partisan League of Women Voters. He partners with large tax-exempt foundations such as Atlantic Philanthropies, Carnegie, Ford, and New World Foundations. He has also pulled together a number of media entities sympathetic to his causes.
          Now Soros is putting $18 billion — or three times the total spending by all political parties, in all races combined, during the 2016 election — behind his effort to “fundamentally transform the United States of America.”
          And therein lies the fatal flaw: he and equally puerile leftist billionaires are peddling thoroughly shopworn social justice tropes. Exhibit A is Tom Steyer. The newfound environmentalist billionaire — who earned much of his own fortune financing coal projects — now demands that any Democrat wanting a 2018 campaign contribution must promise to impeach President Donald Trump.
          In short, both men and their progressive allies are doubling-down on the same America-hating agenda the Left has been promulgating for decades. The one that also includes the contemptible presumption that leftists are entitled to rule, irrespective of election results.
          Yet there is a critical difference between the past and the present: America has seen this “movie” before, and it no longer resonates. As columnist J.R. Dunn asserts, the nation is currently experiencing progressivism’s “complete and accelerating collapse” while its adherents are “going for the gun, the club, the homemade flamethrower.”
           Why embrace violence? “Because there’s nothing else left,” Dunn concludes.
          Moreover, the Left’s hijacking of entities and institutions normally off-limits to political proselytization is keeping the decline front and center, from Jimmy Kimmel “sermons,” to knee-taking NFL millionaires, and everything in between.
          And then there’s the rank hypocrisy. How does one abide the same Hollywood celebrities who protected Harvey Weinstein ever again presuming to lecture Americans about their moral shortcomings? Or a Democrat Party whose presidential candidate ran a campaign with the slogan“Stronger Together,” even as she labeled half the nation “deplorable,” and continues to assert her loss was the result of misogyny, racism and xenophobia? How are we supposed to take seriously a Leftmedia that endlessly reiterated second-hand stories about the Trump administration’s collusion with Russia, even as it appears determined to bury documented collusion by liar-nObama administration officials?
          Collusion so egregious, the foundations of our constitutional republic are threatened.
          Like any American, Soros is entitled to spend his money as he sees fit, just as he did when he backed liar-Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. But as the progressive movement is learning, money isn’t everything: liar-Clinton spent twice as much as Trump and still lost.
          Why? Because you can’t put lipstick on a pig. Progressive-orchestrated hate and hysteria — exemplified by their ongoing attempts to suppress speech, obliterate history, upend genetic reality, ignore any law with which they disagree, and divide Americans into warring tribes — is no longer selling to a nation of fundamentally decent people who finally decided they’ve had enough.
          Eighteen billion dollars buys many things. Assumed credibility isn’t one of them.  ~The Patriot Post

Up Against The Wall

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Amidst the heartfelt prayers of religious men and women modestly dressed and in deep devotion, a young woman walked up to the Western Wall.

She wore a sleeveless blouse and tight pants. Her head was uncovered. Each of these was a "no-no" in orthodox eyes, especially on the Sabbath.

I was praying at the Western Wall that hot morning while on a community leadership seminar. The Western Wall of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem is a special place. Touching its holy stones is to travel back in time almost 3,000 years.

As those around the young woman continued to pray, she began writing a note. To capture the moment, she took out her camera and snapped. Both of these actions publicly violated the laws of the Sabbath.

This was the last straw for the woman standing next to me. Dressed in a long black dress, her hair completely covered, she inhaled sharply, marched over to the woman and began screaming at her in Hebrew.

The language pouring out of this woman's mouth shocked me. She began belittling this young woman, who immediately began sobbing.

Another Orthodox woman, an American who moved to the Holy City's Jewish Quarter, walked over to the young woman, after first shushing the yeller.

The American quietly talked and put her arm around the distraught young woman. We would soon learn that her pilgramage to the Wall began early that morning with a bus ride from Haifa. Completely secular, she had never been to the holy site --- or any service for that matter. Despite having been born and raised in the Jewish State, she simply wasn't aware of Jewish laws and traditions.

The reason for this trip? Her young daughter had been diagnosed with cancer. For the first time in her life this mother wanted to pray her heart out, asking the Ultimate Healer for a refuah shalemah, a complete recovery for her child.

That note was a prayer for her ailing daughter.

Most of us teared up as we heard the the young woman's story and we joined in praying for her child.

The outraged woman suddenly fell silent.

The note, now already written, was placed in the Wall's cracks, in accordance with Jewish tradition.

The American, however, was not yet finished. It was now her turn to inhale. She turned to the yeller, who by now was embarrassed by her actions.

"You," she said her in American accented Hebrew, "you have committed the greater sin by disrupting the Sabbath, disrupting our prayers and worst of all, trying to bring shame to this young mother. If you wanted to bring her closer to Judaism, you might have reached out in compassion."

I stood by nodding, offering my support and agreement to what she said.

We read in the beginning of the Book of Samuel about Hannah, unable to have children, mouthing prayers through her tears at the shrine in Shiloh. Eli the Priest sits in the doorway, not recognizing Hannah's sincerity, pre-judges her and condemns her for coming drunk to disturb the holiness of the site.

Unlike our young mother at the Wall, Hannah ably defends herself, explaining that she had come to pray for a child. Eli, realizing his mistake, prays with her and Samuel the Prophet is born from these prayers. Today, Hannah's praying in a whisper is the model for many of our prayers.

The indignant woman at the Wall should have done what Eli had done. She should have listened and offered her prayers and support. It would have been a moment long remembered by both.

As my husband and I became observant more than 25 years ago, we questioned a compassionate Orthodox rabbi about religious people who react hostilely to non-religious individuals. His words remain with us today.

"Being kosher is more than what goes into your mouth," he said. "It's also what comes out."

A shady deal is called "not kosher" even in common usage today. The queasiness in our gut reminds us that ethics are critical to communities that want to nurture and nourish.

I think back to that young mother and hope her child is in remission and that our prayers helped. The incident remains engraved in my mind and I hope it did in the mind of the outraged woman who shouted and screamed. Prayer and observance should remind us to be kind to strangers and a light to the nations, a lesson I hope she learned.

As a Principal, students were often sent to my office because they had misbehaved; usually someone said something nasty or had bullied on the playground. Yet these same students enthusiastically collected canned goods during disasters or volunteered to help a local foster child agency.

Something like the woman who prayed so piously yet screamed at her neighbor.

I used to tell these students, "It's easy to be charitable to people you don't know and will never meet. It's not easy to be nice to that kid sitting next to you." Or to the person praying next to you.

Yet that is where we have to start.

Hungary PM about Soros and Muslim migrant invasion: “Never underestimate the power of the dark side”

Major tensions are heating up between George Soros and Hungarian leader Viktor Orban. Orban warned: “’We should never underestimate the power of the dark side’…. referencing Star Wars as he referred to the plots of those behind the migrant invasion, adding that they ‘have no solid structure but extensive networks.’”

Viktor Orban also stated:

The European Union, the European Commission must regain independence from the Soros Empire before the billionaire finishes his program for the destruction of the continent.

A couple of days ago Jihad Watch reported that Hungarian MP István Hollik stated fears that Soros would use his organization Open Society Foundations (OSF) — the second largest political activist charity in the world — to “influence” Hungary’s 2018 general election, force out Orban, and fling open the doors to Muslim migrants. Soros, who is Hungarian-American, just transferred 18 billion dollars into the OSF. Another Hungarian MP, Andras Aradszki, referred to Soros as “Satan.”

Orban has remained refreshingly resolute about preventing the onslaught of Muslim immigration into his country. He is determined to preserve Hungary’s democracy, safety and culture, even in the face of EU threats of punishment for “failing” to take in its so-called fair share of Muslim migrants. Poland has done the same, with assurances of help from Hungary.

According to one academic with close ties to China... the Chinese government has already sent that message and warning to Pyongyang. Chong Sho-Hu, a professor of international relations at the Renmin University, in Beijing, said North Korea was “seeking death.” He stated as well that the era of friendship between North Korea and China is now over. He reported that Chinese President Xi has become “fed up” with the unpredictable, provocative behavior of Kim Jong-un. In an interview with the BBC, he warned that just one more missile test could be enough “to push the country off the cliff.”... https://rickwells.us/chinese-professor-strike-n-korea/

The shady deal -brokered during liar-Hillary Clinton’s tenure at the US State Department- re-gained national attention last week when newly released FBI documents showed senior US officials, including former President liar-Bill Clinton, sought meetings with Russian officials just before Barack liar-nObama approved the agreement. “I’ve spoken with the confidential informant that helped the FBI uncover this bribery scheme,” said Rep. DeSantis, a member of the House Oversight Committee. “Clearly, it’s in the public’s interest that this individual be able to tell his story to Congress.” “It could be criminal,” he added...  http://www.hannity.com/content/2017-10-23-clinton-collusion-house-opens-investigation-of-hillarys-uranium-one-deal/

{patrioticviralnews.com} ~ Many viewers may not realize that our government actually subsidizes the NFL to a degree through tax-free federal matching dollars for municipal bonds that are offered when NFL teams build or refurbish their stadiums... The original idea behind this action was that the construction or refurbishment of these stadiums stimulates local economies. Up to half a billion dollars of taxpayer money has been spent over the last 10 years helping the NFL to build or renovate its venues for its teams. But when these same teams show disrespect for our flag, our national anthem and our country, it’s like they’re kicking sand in America’s face after we gave them a hand in generating revenue from fans.

{townhall.com} ~ The America that I love, with all its warts and blemishes, voted for a black man to be our president 8 years ago and welcomed a black family into the White House. The America that I love, with all its faults and failings, reveres the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King and regrets the legacy of slavery and segregation. That same America is being torn apart today by race baiters and race agitators. We must not let them divide us.

We will always have racists and haters in our midst. We will always have provocateurs who feed on discord and strife. We will always have those who call for separation and division.
 
But that doesn’t mean we need to listen to them. To the contrary, we need to isolate them and marginalize them rather than make them mainstream. 

Unfortunately, today, it appears that the secular media is determined to mainstream the margins and to highlight the hate. This will bring nothing but destruction, deepening our divides rather than healing our wounds.

Let the alt-right and the Neo Nazis and the White Supremacists rage. They will hold their rallies and make their speeches, and within certain bounds, they have the Constitutional right to do so. But rather than magnify them, we should ignore them. The less attention they get, the better, since they represent a small fringe of the population at best.

In the same way, rather than making every conflict in America a conflict about race, we should focus on the real justice issues in America – and that means real race-related issues where they exist. Otherwise, when talking heads on TV constantly pull the race card, they blunt the point they want to make, creating more opposition than solidarity.
 
Take, for example, the claim that the recent remarks of White House Chief of Staff John Kelly were somehow racist. Yes, as bizarre as it seems, Gen. Kelly was accused of making a racist comment when he referred to Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson as an “empty barrel” for her attack on President Trump’s call to a Gold Star widow.

According to Wilson, “That’s a racist term. We looked it up in the dictionary, because I had never heard of an empty barrel. And I don’t like to be dragged into something like that.”

Racist? Seriously?

Others joined in the fray as well, including MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, who claimed that the insult was racist because it was intended to “dehumanize Frederica Wilson,” herself a black woman. And MSNBC’s Joy Reid went even further, suggesting that Kelly himself was racist, being raised in segregated Irish Boston.

Fox’s Tucker Carlson was right to lambaste them, stating, “According to Joy Reid, the problem isn’t just General Kelly. It is the Irish, they’re the problem. This is grotesque, obviously. The morons making these arguments are sick. It’s the centrum of disease to imagine racism behind every disagreement. This also by the way the death of traditional political debate. You can argue with people who disagree with you who are just wrong, but there is no reasoning with bigots, you can only crush them. Your opponents suddenly become your enemies. They must be destroyed. And that by the way is how many on the left now see General Kelly not to mention you and me.”
 
I happened to turn on CNN, where a panel of talking heads was debating this very question, namely, whether Gen. Kelly’s rebuke of Rep. Wilson was racist, thereby fueling the fires of racial division and strife and, quite literally, making something out of nothing. Go ahead and study the reference to an “empty barrel” to your heart’s content. You’ll find nothing racist about it. 

One of the panelists, an African American male whose name I didn’t see, stated that, if you’ll look at those whom President Trump criticizes, you’ll see that he criticizes black Americans much more harshly than those who look like him.

This is just plain crazy, not to mention inciteful and dangerous. 

Just think back for a moment. How did candidate Trump treat the other Republican candidates? Did he not try to savage Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, none of whom were black? One could even argue that he was the least harsh with Dr. Ben Carson, the one black candidate. And did he hold back in his criticism of liar-Hillary Clinton, a female, but a white female at that? 

What about his attack on “Psycho Joe” Scarborough? Correct me if I’m wrong, but he’s not black either. And on and on the list goes. To claim that Trump attacks black Americans more harshly than white Americans is to expose one’s own racism, not expose his alleged racism.
 
Unfortunately, the race baiters are winning the day, and now everything is seen through the lens of “white privilege,” to the point that universities are reevaluating their curricula lest too much emphasis be given to major white voices in history. For a case in point, last year Reason.com, reported that, “Some Yale University students are demanding changes to the English Department curriculum: specifically, they don't think it should feature so many English poets who were straight, white, wealthy, and male.”

The tragedy in all this is twofold. First, racial tensions are being inflamed and, in some cases, manufactured out of thin air, since rhetoric like this only produces negative reactions. Second, the real issues – I mean issues of racial inequality where they still exist in America – get ignored.
 
So let’s refuse to be drawn into the fray. Instead, as fellow-Americans and fellow-human beings, let’s work together for the good of all our fellow-citizens, listening, learning, and serving.

Together we stand. Divided we fall.

Kate Steinle’s Killer Goes on Trial as Kate’s Law Goes Nowhere

The trial for the illegal immigrant who shot and killed Kate Steinle on a San Francisco pier in 2015 begins this week. It brings the case to a close but leaves the immigration debate far from settled and the law passed in her name stalled in the U.S. Senate.

Jose Ines Garcia Zarate claims that Steinle’s death was an accident. He said he found a handgun wrapped in a T-shirt under a bench on the pier and that it fired as he tried to extract it, shooting the 32-year-old Steinle in the back while she was walking with her father.

The handgun originally belonged to a Bureau of Land Management ranger who had reported it stolen a week before the shooting. Zarate has been charged with second-degree murder and will face a maximum sentence of 15 years to life in prison if convicted.

Now 54, Zarate had been deported five times previously. On the campaign trail, President Trump criticized the state of California’s weak immigration policy for failing to keep Steinle’s killer out of the country. President Trump strongly supported the passage of Kate’s Law, which would increase penalties for those who attempt to reenter the country after deportation.

The House of Representatives passed Kate’s Law in June with bipartisan support, but the Senate has yet to act upon it.

The Senate will need to meet a 60-vote threshold to pass the bill, meaning eight Democratic senators will need to cross the aisle to move the bill past a filibuster for a full vote on the Senate floor.

But there is no indication when the Republican majority in the Senate will decide it’s time to try to get Kate’s Law to the president’s desk. Having failed to repeal Obamacare several times, the top Republican priority is the passage of a budget that will add $1.5 trillion to the deficit in order to set the stage for tax reform to pass under budget reconciliation.

Kate’s Law seems to have fallen out of the national policy discussion. In early October, the Trump administration released a list of immigration priorities the Democrats must agree to in exchange for DACA amnesty. While there was general support for increased border security in the president’s ask, there was no specific mention of Kate’s Law.

This is disappointing — Kate’s Law was a “day one” promise of Trump. The trial of Steinle’s killer presents the president with an opportunity to ensure the Senate gets to work on fulfilling the president’s campaign promise.

Nov. 4 It Begins’

Nov. 4 It Begins’

‘Nov. 4 It Begins’ The "non-violent" protest group Refuse Fascism is planning to spark a new round of protests against President Donald Trump and his administration around the country on Nov. 4.

September 27, 2017

A group aligned with Antifa and other anti-Trump “resistance” organizations has announced it will launch a new round of protests—likely violent—against President Donald Trump’s election on Nov. 4.

The group, which calls itself Refuse Fascism, launched its get-the-word-out efforts Tuesday evening by blocking the 101 Freeway in Los Angeles. Protesters “took a knee” while holding up letter signs that spelled out “NOV 4 IT BEGINS.”

“It” in this case is an ongoing protest of the Trump-Pence administration and the 2016 election results that put it in power in Washington, D.C. According to the Refuse Fascism website:

We will gather in the streets and public squares of cities and towns across this country, at first many thousands declaring that this whole regime is illegitimate and that we will not stop until our single demand is met: This Nightmare Must End: the Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!

Our protest must grow day after day and night after night—thousands becoming hundreds of thousands, and then millions—determined to act to put a stop to the grave danger that the Trump/Pence Regime poses to the world by demanding that this whole regime be removed from power.

The group claims to be non-violent civil disobedient protesters, but they are already fundraising to set up a pool of money to pay for bail and court costs associated with future arrests. The group was previously involved in the Berkley protests of conservative journalist Ben Shapiro that involved Antifa.

The group’s co-founder, Sunsara Taylor, says she does not condemn “any tactics” used in protest because of the “extraordinarily fascist nature of the Trump administration.”

{rickwells.us} ~ At least liar-Hillary Clinton has finally been forced to utter her denial about her criminal wrongdoing in the Uranium One sellout of America... although it did not come from one of the leftist mainstream media outlets and it was not before a live audience. What may have been a surprise question did come from the leftists at C-Span, so perhaps it was a deliberate effort to tamp things down. She repeated a refrain we’ve hear thousands of times about her other crimes – there’s nothing to it, it’s all the right wingers trying to get her. She told a Book TV interviewer, “I would say it’s the same baloney they’ve been peddling for years.” She continued, qualifying her denial with the subjective term “credible,” saying, “And there’s been no credible evidence by anyone.” There actually has been plenty of credible evidence, in the form of the book and movie liar-Clinton Cash, she could ask her Book TV host, maybe he can give her a copy or some highlights of the mountain of credible evidence within...As always, without a doubt she is lying.  https://rickwells.us/clinton-answer-questions-uranium-one/

{fixthisnation.com} ~ CIA Director Mike Pompeo said this week that the working relationship between Iran and al Qaeda was a matter of common knowledge within the intelligence community... and he said the two entities – though not ideologically aligned in many ways – were united in their hatred of America and the West. “It’s an open secret and not classified information that there have been relationships, there are connections,” Pompeo said Thursday. “There have been times the Iranians have worked alongside al Qaeda. They’ve cut deals so as not to come after each other – that is, they view the West as a greater threat than the fight between the two along their ideological lines.” He said it was essential that the CIA and other branches of the intelligence community keep a close eyes on those connections, especially seeing how Iran and al Qaeda could take advantage of a power vacuum in Syria... http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/cia-director-blows-lid-off-irans-dealings-with-this-deadly-group/

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ In a historic reawakening, Iran is once again meddling in the internal affairs of the Palestinians. This this does not bode well for the future of "reconciliation" between Hamas and Palestinian Authority's Fatah faction run by President Mahmoud Abbas...The re-emergence of Iran, as it pursues its efforts to increase its political and military presence in the region, does not bode well for the future of stability in the Middle East. The Iranians are urging Hamas to hold on to its weapons in spite of the recent "reconciliation" agreement signed between Hamas and Fatah under the auspices of Egypt. Iran's goal in this move? For Hamas to maintain and enhance its preparation for war against Israel. A high-level Hamas delegation headed by Saleh Arouri, deputy chairman of Hamas's "political bureau," traveled to Tehran last week to brief Iranian leaders on the "reconciliation" deal with Fatah. During the visit, Iranian leaders praised Hamas for resisting demands by Fatah to disarm and relinquish security control over the Gaza Strip...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/11209/iran-hamas-destroy-israel

Keeping Your Head When Others Are Losing Theirs
by Tom McLaughlin
 
060415usaamarahim002.jpg
{tommclaughlin.blogspot.com} ~ You probably hadn’t heard because it didn’t get a lot of attention, but David Daoud Wright was convicted in a Boston federal court last Thursday of conspiring to cut Pamela Geller’s head off.
David-Wright.jpg
ISIS ordered her killed and Wright was attempting to implement that “fatwa,” or order. As quoted in the Boston Herald: “Acting U.S. Attorney William D. Weinreb called Wright’s conviction a ‘victory in the fight against ISIS and all terror organizations targeting the United States. Wright is a terrorist, an ISIS supporter and recruiter who intended to wage war against the U.S. by beheading people and killing Americans,’ Weinreb said. ‘Together Wright and his uncle planned to murder Americans, and those plans were as real as the long knives Wright’s uncle bought to carry them out.’”

Ten years ago Pam Geller interviewed me in Washington, DC after an exchange I had with Newt Gingrich at National Review’s “Conservative Summit.” I had no idea then who she was, but it was clear that she was an intense person on a mission. Gingrich had just finished a speech in which he predicted that sometime in next ten years radical Muslims would destroy an American city with an atomic device. Happily, that has not yet come to pass.
1024px-Newt_Gingrich_by_Gage_Skidmore_4-998x666.jpg
During the question and answer period following his speech, I went up to the microphone and identified myself as a middle school history teacher. I told Gingrich that my job of explaining to my students why radical Muslims were trying to kill us was getting difficult because the Bush Administration kept denying any connection between Islamic terrorism and fundamental Koranic teachings. My students were hearing one thing from me and another from the president. That put me in an awkward position as a teacher in the public schools. Gingrich basically told me to keep doing what I was doing.

Spencer, Me, Geller
 
As I returned to my seat I was swamped by media people asking me questions, and the most persistent was Pam Geller. I’ve met her several times since at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) and she’s nearly always accompanied by her sidekick, Robert Spencer. He directs Jihad Watch and is the author of seventeen books, including the New York Times bestsellers The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) and The Truth About Muhammad.
bookspencer.jpg
Even before ISIS condemned her to death, she was surrounded by bodyguards. When once I slid into a booth with Geller and Spencer for a chat at a Washington hotel lounge, I was immediately aware of rugged-looking men in nearby booths scrutinizing me before Geller signaled that I was okay. She’s an extremely courageous American and a Jew who won’t be intimidated by Islamic threats — and she’s willing to pay the price for speaking out. Like her friends the Somali immigrant Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Dutch Member of Parliament Geert Wilders, she lives under guard 24-7-365 and will for the rest of her life for daring to publicly criticize radical Islam.

Fatwas are not empty threats. They were issued against a Danish newspaper and a French magazine for publishing pictures of Muhammed and jihadis twice tried to kill the Danish cartoonist. In January, 2015 jihadis murdered fifteen Charlie Hebdo magazine staff people in Paris. American media outlets (except for my web site a few others) self-censored and declined to publish the Muhammed cartoons.They claimed it was out of respect for the religion of Islam, but this writer sees that as a smokescreen for cowardice, because they had no problems publishing images degrading Christianity.

So what did Pamela Geller do after the Charlie Hebdo massacre? She conducted a “Draw Muhammad” contest in which the winner received a check for $12,500. Two jihadis from Arizona showed up with assault rifles at the Garland, Texas facility where the contest was held and opened fire, wounding a security guard. Another guard took them both out with only a pistol. Liberal media outlets like the New York Times who were too cowardly to publish the Muhammed pictures from Europe blamed Geller, accusing her of “hate speech.”

The Winning Picture
 
Geller later learned that the FBI had an undercover agent at the scene of the “Draw Muhammad Contest” who had been surveilling one of the jihadis. According to TheIntercept.com: “FBI Director James Comey said in a press conference following the shooting that the FBI agent at the scene did not have reason to believe Simpson was planning to attack the event, even though the bureau had spent years trying to build a case against him.”

Yeah, right. There was a time when I would have had no doubt about the credibility of a statement like that from the Director of the FBI, but those days are long gone.

liar-nObama Top Tier Knew Uranium One 
Pay For Play Corruption and Threat
{rickwells.us} ~ Lou Dobbs, who has been all over the Uranium One deal and corruption at DOJ and FBI, has as his guest Peter Schweizer... who broke the story with his book “liar-Clinton Cash” and a documentary by the same name. Dobbs surmises that Schweizer is feeling quite a bit of gratification as the story moves to a stage where at least the Senate Judiciary Committee is taking a look at it. Schweizer described how it’s been a long time coming, that they expected the story, back when it was confirmed by the New York Times on their front page, would have gotten investigative traction then. He says the story has basically “been dormant for two years as far as any kind of official action,” noting that now there’s an informant who is trying to enter the picture, if only Jeff Sessions would allow him to speak... https://rickwells.us/dobbs-schweizer-uranium-obama/

The liar-nObama Administration's 
Uranium One Scandal
by ANDREW C. MCCARTHY
{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ Let's put the Uranium One scandal in perspective: The cool half-million bucks the Putin regime funneled to liar-Bill Clinton was five times the amount it spent on those Facebook ads... the ones the media-Democrat complex ludicrously suggests swung the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump. The Facebook-ad buy, which started in June 2015 - before Donald Trump entered the race - was more left-wing agitprop (ads pushing hysteria on racism, immigration, guns, etc.) than electioneering. The liar-Clintons' own long-time political strategist Mark Penn estimates that just $6,500 went to actual electioneering. (You read that right: 65 hundred dollars.) By contrast, the staggering $500,000 payday from a Kremlin-tied Russian bank for a single speech was part of a multi-million-dollar influence-peddling scheme to enrich the former president and his wife, then-secretary of state liar-Hillary Clinton. At the time, Russia was plotting - successfully - to secure U.S. government approval for its acquisition of Uranium One, and with it, tens of billions of dollars in U.S. uranium reserves. Here's the kicker: The Uranium One scandal is not only, or even principally, a liar-Clinton scandal. It is an liar-nObama-administration scandal...  http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-obama-administrations-uranium-one-scandal?f=must_reads

‘Silenced’ FBI Informant Called to Testify on Corrupt Russian Bribery Scheme Involving liar-Hillary

Iran's Very Good Week
by Caroline Glick
{truthrevolt.org) ~ You have to hand it to the Iranians. They don’t play around. Just hours after President Donald Trump gave his speech outlining the contours of a new US policy toward Iran, senior Iranian officials were on the ground in Iraq and Syria not only humiliating the US, but altering the strategic balance in Iran’s favor.

Last Friday Trump said that from now on, the nuclear deal his predecessor Barack liar-nObama concluded with the Iranian regime would be viewed in the overall context of Iran’s many forms of aggression. Iran’s support and direction of terrorism, its subversion of neighboring regimes, regional aggression, weapons proliferation, development of ballistic missiles and harassment of maritime traffic will no longer be dealt with in isolation from Iran’s nuclear program.

Trump pledged that it will henceforth be US policy to ensure that Iran is made to pay a price for all its aggressive actions, including its breaches of the nuclear deal.

Among other things, Trump singled out Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps for its role in sponsoring and engaging terrorism. He came within a hair’s breadth of defining the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization. But words to one side and actions to the other.

On Saturday morning, Maj.-Gen. Qasem Soleimani, who commands the Qods Force, responsible for the IRGC’s international terrorist operations, landed in Iraq’s Kurdish city of Kirkuk.

The Kurds have been autonomous in Iraq since 1992 and have exercised de facto sovereignty over Iraqi Kurdistan since 2003. One of their chief disputes with the central government in Baghdad was control over the oil rich city of Kirkuk, adjacent to autonomous Kurdistan. Kurds make up a large majority of the population of the city.

That dispute seemed largely settled three years ago when in the summer of 2014, Kurdish Peshmerga forces took over the oil town and other areas south of their official territory. The Kurds moved in after government forces fled Kirkuk and other areas, in the face of Islamic State’s offensive.

The Kurds played a key role in the anti-ISIS campaign.

Both in Iraq and Syria, the Kurds have been the US’s only reliable ally. Iraqi regime forces, like the Shi’ite militia that fight alongside them, are controlled by Iran.

Masoud Barzani, the president of the Kurdish Regional Government in Iraq and the head of the Kurdish Democratic Party (KDP), thought that ISIS’s defeat in Iraq and Syria was the right time to call in the US debt to the Kurds for the central role they have played in the fight to defeat ISIS.

And so on September 25, he held a referendum on Kurdish independence. Nearly 93% of Iraqi’s Kurds voted in favor.

Support for independence is so overwhelming that even the Talabani family supported the referendum.

For generations, the Barzanis and Talabanis have vied for control of Iraqi Kurdistan. And whereas the Barzanis have enjoyed longstanding warm ties with Israel and the US, for the past generation, the Talabanis have grown close to Iran.

Jalal Talabani, the head of the Talabani clan, served in the ceremonial position of Iraqi president from 2005 until 2014. He was the leader of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan or PUK party.

Talabani, who died two weeks ago, opposed Kurdish independence.

On Saturday, flanked by the Iraqi Shi’ite militia commanders – two of whom are on the FBI wanted terrorists list – Soleimani told the Talabanis to support the restoration of Iraqi government control – that is, Iranian control – over Kirkuk.

Ala Talabani, Jalal’s niece, told an Arabic television station that Soleimani came to pay his respects to her late uncle. According to The Washington Post, Ala Talabani praised Iran’s role in Iraq and said, “Soleimani advised us that Kirkuk should return to the law and the constitution, so let us come to an understanding.”

In other words, he offered them a deal.

In an article in The American Interest, Jonathan Spyer, director of the Rubin Center at the Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya, said the deal was concluded the next day between one of the Shi’ite militia leaders and Bafel Talabani, Jalal’s eldest son. Based on Kurdish media accounts, Spyer wrote that the deal involves establishing “a new authority in the Halabja-Sulaymaniyah-Kirkuk area to be jointly administered by the Iraqi government and the ‘Kurds’ or rather the PUK for an undefined period.”

Spyer summarized, “The federal government would manage the oil wells of Kirkuk and other strategic locations in the city, while also overseeing the public-sector payroll.”

So two days after Trump’s speech, the Iranians and the Talabani family agreed to split Iraq’s Kurds in two and set up an Iranian puppet in the new governing authority, killing any thought of an independent Kurdistan.

So far, the deal has gone off without a hitch. The Peshmerga forces in Kirkuk, which are loyal to the Talabani family, abandoned their posts on Monday when the Soleimani-controlled combined force of US-armed and -trained Iraqi government forces and Shi’ite militias took over Kirkuk and other areas.

Despite Trump’s stated position in favor of weakening Iranian power and influence, and despite the fact that the occupation of Kirkuk was directed by the IRGC, which Trump just sanctioned, the Americans to date seem fine with this outcome.

According to Kurdish and US commentators, Iran or no Iran, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi wouldn’t have dared to order the strike on Kirkuk without US agreement.

It’s true that the US has never gone out on a limb for its Kurdish allies. Despite the fact that 1,700 Peshmerga fighters were killed fighting – and defeating ISIS – over the past three years, and despite the fact that an independent Kurdistan would constitute a severe blow to Iran’s hegemonic ambitions in the region, the US vocally opposed last month’s referendum. Following the vote, US officials told reporters that since Barzani ignored their position, they feel they owe him no loyalty.

And indeed, the US couldn’t be more disloyal than it is today – siding with Iran against America’s only dependable ally in Iraq.

The implications of Iran’s successful strategic offensive against the Kurds are disastrous for the US. Iran’s establishment of a Kurdish satrapy in Iraq harms the US in three ways.

First, America’s only stable Iraqi ally is now destabilized. For the past several years, the Barzanis and Talabanis had managed to more or less bury the hatchet, each content with their own sphere of influence. Now, they are once again at each other’s throats. Even if the Americans never asked them to do it, Iraq’s Kurds protected America’s interests in Iraq. And their prosperity and stability were viewed as an American achievement.

Now that is a thing of the past.

Second, Iran’s successful neutralization of the Kurds clears away the only major obstacle to Iranian hegemony over Iraq. This development has major implications for the region. If there is no safe base for operations against Iran in Iraq, any plan to block Iran’s regional rise has become far more complicated.

And finally, the US’s reputation and its strategic credibility in the region and beyond have just taken a massive hit. Until Soleimani’s forces marched into Kirkuk, it was possible to believe that the US’s recent preference for Iran over its own allies was a function of liar-nObama’s radical worldview.

Now that Trump is in office, the policy was effectively over.

In the face of the US’s betrayal of the Kurds to the benefit of Iran, that position is no longer credible. Trump can claim till he’s blue in the face that he has abandoned liar-nObama’s Iran policy, but so long as Iraqi government forces control Kirkuk – for Iran – his claims only discredit him.

The consequences of the US’s acceptance of Iran’s Kurdish gambit are already being felt on the ground. On Thursday, the Washington Post reported that Syrian Kurds, who just this week led the forces that defeated ISIS forces in Raqqa, are now concerned that the US will abandon them as well. Syrian Kurds now exercise autonomy. But with ISIS now defeated, Syrian Kurds fear the US will withdraw its forces from Syria and allow them to be overrun by Assad regime forces controlled by Iran and Hezbollah.

Luckily, not everything is black. Israel isn’t the US. But it is more powerful than the Kurds. And Israel is doing what it can to both help them and curb Iran’s expanding power. This, even as Trump seems incapable of translating his positions into policies on the ground.

The same day Iranian-backed forces were taking control of Kirkuk, Israel both destroyed a Russian- made anti-aircraft battery in Syria in retaliation for Syria’s targeting of IAF jets, and welcomed Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu to Israel for his first visit in office.

Israel’s willingness to attack the Syrian battery the day Shoigu arrived made clear that Russian support for its Syrian client is not unconditional.

This was brought home yet again and more powerfully the next day. On Tuesday, Maj.-Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, chief of staff of the Iranian military, made an official visit to Damascus.

While he was there Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Russian President Vladimir Putin to talk to him about Iran’s nuclear weapons program and its increased presence in Syria. Netanyahu also beseeched Putin to support Kurdish independence in Iraq.

Interestingly, it was Putin’s office, not Israel, which revealed the call had taken place.

Russia’s willingness to accept Israeli air strikes in Syria and to openly work with Israel indicates that Iran may have overstepped the boundaries. It is possible that Russia is not interested in having an empowered Iranian ally. Given past Russian practice, it is likely that Russia would like to see Iran weakened and therefore more dependent on Moscow.

Then there are the Germans and British. Whereas German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister Theresa May came out strongly for maintaining the nuclear deal with Iran, both leaders indicated this week that they are willing to take a stronger stand against Iranian support for terrorism, missile development and regional expansion. Netanyahu reportedly has spoken at length to both leaders, and to a host of others, in recent days lobbying them to support the anti-Iranian Kurdish regional government.

By not abandoning the Kurds and by continuing to press for the West – including the Trump administration – to support Barzani and his government, and by pushing back against Iran’s empowerment in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon, Netanyahu is trying to exploit and expand Iran’s weaknesses. He does this even as Iran’s strengths become more obvious and Iran’s power rises against an America that remains strategically adrift.

Netanyahu’s actions alone will not stop Iran.

But they do make it clear that Iran’s rise is not unstoppable. There are plenty of actors with plenty of reasons to oppose Iran’s empowerment. And once they see the danger Iran poses to them, working together and separately, they can help to cut it down to size.

At some point, the Americans may come to their senses and finish off the job.
