No Absolution for Women Who Didn't Vote Democrat?
OVv2WFJqzuiQz82O0JsXhzfaUCreo9_xzwdYdMhRvYn_2XSYvQGBkhDNf-LK0Z9_AZWavbLWxSkivmSU3E21Tq_Q48Hk5utt833eP5uGuE7dLBsQLcSnRke_bjqf06U=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=500
by Thomas Gallatin:  liar-Hillary Clinton seems bound and determined to remind everyone just how unlikable of a person she is. As she has recently been making the rounds touting her new book “What Happened,” liar-Hillary is making sure that everyone knows that it was not her fault that she lost the election.

          Among her long list of targets subjected to blame are, ironically, women — specifically women who failed to vote for her. This latest revelation comes from a cringe-worthy passage in her book. On one occasion, an older woman dragged her adult daughter by the arm to come talk to me and ordered her to apologize for not voting — which she did, head bowed in contrition. I wanted to stare right in her eyes and say, “You didn’t vote? How could you not vote?! You abdicated your responsibility as a citizen at the worst possible time! And now you want me to make you feel better?” Of course, I didn’t say any of that. These people were looking for absolution that I just couldn’t give. We all have to live with the consequences of our decisions.
          liar-Clinton is, of course, once again referencing that tired old Democrat 
playbook of identity politics, trotted out like it’s the gospel truth. liar-Hillary’s message to women is simple: If you didn’t vote for me, then you are an idiot and your commitment to womanhood deserves to be questioned. Frankly, we’re amazed that this message resonates with so many women and minorities, but that’s why Democrats keep using it. Then again, a lot of women didn’t vote for her because of what a terrible candidate she really was. They weren’t idiots; they were smart.
          It’s
 natural to feel a degree of sympathy for those who, after having given their best effort, failed to obtain their desired goal, like athletes failing to win the championship game. But that sympathy quickly sours if the losers blame everyone else for their defeat. No one likes a sore loser. liar-Clinton, already highly unlikable, is so blinded by her own attitude of entitlement that she has decided to double down and expand her blame game. It’s getting so bad that even members of her own party are turning on her. One wonders if she is such a sore loser that she’ll drag down her own party out of spite. How does that proverb go about a woman scorned…?

Chuck clown-Schumer Brags How

{/rickwells.us} ~ To hear Chuck clown-Schumer tell it the Democrats are in the majority and President Trump must kowtow to him. While it is true the Republicans are running Congress as if they are the minority party and President Trump has reached out to Democrats... there clearly is no compromise on the part of Democrats. And there never will be; the sooner President Trump learns this lesson the better off this nation will be. Chuck clown-Schumer said it in plain English on Tuesday, if the President is only willing to believe his eyes and ears. In a statement to the press on Tuesday, clown-Schumer revealed that he’s the one calling the shots, at least in his mind and possibly in reality. He said he and President Trump have “talked a bit about working together and I said to the President the best way he can show some good faith is support the dreamers bill.”...  https://rickwells.us/schumer-brags-laid-down-trump/

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The White House hailed a "constructive working dinner" Wednesday night between President Trump and top Democratic congressional leaders, who claimed afterward they agreed to exclude the border wall from a deal on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program... Trump and administration officials met with Senate Minority Leader Chuck clown-Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Nancy Pulosi, D-Calif., the latest in a series of overtures from the president to the other side of the aisle. A White House official told reporters afterward the "topics included tax reform, border security, DACA, infrastructure and trade." But Pulosi and clown-Schumer focused on DACA, former President Barack liar-nObama's executive action shielding from deportation illegal immigrants who came to the United States before age 16, which was recently rescinded by the Trump administration...Who is telling the truth?  http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/schumer-pelosi-say-daca-deal-will-exclude-wall-after-dinner-with-trump/article/2634356?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20Breaking%20News&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20Breaking%20News%20-%2009/13/17&utm_medium=email

{theresurgent.com} ~ You read it right. Nancy Pulosi and Chuck clown-Schumer have announced a deal to protect young illegal immigrants from deportation, but that deal does not include a wall... The measure does include funding for border security that is already in place, according to the Associated Press. clown-Schumer and Pulosi released a statement in which they told the press, “We agreed to enshrine the protections of DACA into law quickly, and to work out a package of border security, excluding the wall, that’s acceptable to both sides.”...Why not the wall? You idiots. http://theresurgent.com/breaking-no-wall-schumer-and-pelosi-announce-an-immigration-deal/

{aei.org} ~ The Trump administration has done a laudable job handling the North Korea crisis it inherited. The liar-nObama administration had neglected the gathering North Korean threat under a policy called “strategic patience.”... This followed a negotiated “deal” at the end of the Bush years that lifted important sanctions and other pressures that isolated the Kim dynasty, which followed other strategic blunders since the end of the Cold War. President Trump took office facing a nuclear North Korea that had accelerated the tempo of its missile and nuclear development programs and tests, and was close to weaponizing an ICBM. This all happened as the awful human rights conditions of North Koreans worsened, raising questions as to whether the US is really leading a so called “rules-based order” in Asia. Kim Jong Un essentially “governs” a criminal state that oversees a large concentration camp of slave labor...  https://www.aei.org/publication/kim-jong-un-must-go-its-time-for-a-korean-democratic-unification/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTURKa01tTmtPRGt4TWpoaiIsInQiOiJua0FySEEzZEN3Q3orZzNKNG1HeWxRb1U5QWpBdkxVVGdWdENpMzNadHhvWklVaVg1RDNOT3QrYW1zYUlJTWl0alpaXC9rWGZxaHFVWXZEVW1lRE5obHlLeGk4U0FWNXp0dkp5QWxuYW03SEZsN2QrU3d5cmZlZDNQdE0rQVJzUDQifQ%3D%3D

IT’S A SCANDAL!
by Burt Prelutsky


For about as long as I can remember, I have said that if I had the power to work miracles, I would hand over control of the Senate to the Democrats if I could control the media. I wouldn’t even ask the media to go easy on the Republicans. I would only demand that across the entire media spectrum -- newspapers, magazines, TV, movies, radio and the Internet -- only objective facts would be transmitted. Opinions of those facts would be permitted, but spinning or intentionally ignoring the facts would be a felony.

Consider, if you will, how much time and attention has been spent portraying President Trump as a villain, concocting Russian connections where none exist and pretending that he didn’t have the constitutional right to shut down immigration from a handful of rogue nations.

Furthermore, if you were sappy enough to swallow the swill of the mass media, you would think that more political scandals have occurred during the past eight months than in the previous eight years.

Fortunately, someone has gone to the trouble of listing the major scandals of the liar-nObama administration. As you pore through the list, imagine if even some of them had Trump’s fingerprints on them, how berserk the NY Times, the Washington Post and CNN, would have gone. Instead, you might even be hard-pressed to remember them, unless I prompt your memory in a few cases.

In no particular order, we had Solyndra; Cash for Clunkers; the billion-dollar stimulus and the non-existent shovel-ready jobs; the government shutdown, when liar-nObama made sure that people would blame Republicans for families not having access to the National Parks and veterans not having access to war memorials; hundreds, if not thousands, of VA deaths; Secret Service agents discovered colluding with foreign prostitutes and driving under the influence; the General Services Administration spending tax dollars on lavish parties; polluting the Colorado River; the IRAN nuclear deal and ransom payments; Bowe Bergdahl; the domestic spying by the NSA; the Pigford scandal, which involved compensating black farmers over phony claims of discrimination; Sec. of State liar-Hillary Clinton using a private server and accepting bribes from foreign, sometimes hostile, nations; Benghazi; the IRS targeting of conservative groups and individuals; Operation Fast & Furious, which resulted in Attorney General Eric Holder being the first Cabinet officer ever cited for Contempt of Congress, but not losing his job; spying on American journalists and foreign dignitaries; and placing police departments all over the nation under the thumb of the Justice Department as a result of trumped-up charges of racism.

We could also include liar-Obama’s spirited defense of Prof. Henry Gates, his referring to Trayvon Martin as the son he never had and his outpouring of sympathy for Michael Brown and the Black Lives Matter hooligans.

Then there was his obvious kinship with a number of black hustlers like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Van Jones. It was as if the first black president had set out to undo all the advances in race relations that had taken place over the previous half century.

● I do not understand why the U.S. ever enters into mutual defense treaties with other nations.  The way I look at it, if fire breaks out in my neighbor’s house, I’ll do whatever I can to help out. I would expect the same from him. It so happens that I like my next-door neighbor. But even if I didn’t, it would be in our mutual interest to prevent the fire from expanding. But he and I don’t have to sign a binding contract. So, why should the U.S. have to obligate ourselves to other nations, some of which make a regular practice of voting against our interests at the U.N.?

For one thing, if we were attacked, there’s damn little that some of those nations could do for us even if they wanted to. On the other hand, I see the advantage for them; Uncle Sam, the biggest sucker on the face of the earth, picks up the tab for their defense, allowing them to spend their own money financing a socialist agenda that includes generational welfare, month-long paid vacations, the feeding and housing of Muslim immigrants, and government-funded health care.

It turns out the real reason that South Korea spurned our anti-missile defense system was because Trump expected them to pay for it.

Is it in America’s interest to have a peaceful world or at least one in which tyrannies such as China, Russian, Iran, Cuba and North Korea, could be contained? Of course, just as it’s in my interest if my neighbor’s house doesn’t go up in flames. But that doesn’t mean I should be expected to pay for his fire insurance.

● Speaking of finances, LeRoy Foster sent me an email after my recent screed against the minimum wage. He wrote: “The minimum wage issue was always a prelude to a national minimum income to replace welfare.”

I replied: “Of course. I have even begun hearing left-wingers calling for it in public. In much the same way, the Democrats knew that liar-nObamaCare was a time bomb set to explode, but because they expected liar-Hillary Clinton to be the next president and because they expected that she would carry the party to victory in the House and Senate, they assumed the next inevitable step was for liar-nObamaCare to morph into socialized (single payer) medicine." 

On the other hand, the GOP is so inept, anything is possible even if they maintain control of Congress. Just last week, the Senate Appropriations Committee okayed a spending bill that includes $10 million to help fund the U.N. department that oversees the Paris Climate Agreement.

The vote was 16-14 in favor of the allotment, even though Sen. Joe Manchin (D, WV) voted against it. It seems that two senators who continue to pretend they’re Republicans, Susan Collins of Maine and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, decided it was a good use of our tax dollars, even after Trump pulled us out of the Accords.

● I know that balancing the budget is something unlikely to occur before our national debt ($20 trillion and climbing) finally bankrupts us, forcing us to face up to the fact that no country is too big to fail.

But if by a show of hands, it was decided that I should handle the job. I would shut down a huge number of federal departments, including Housing & Urban Development, Education, Commerce, Agriculture and Labor, and I’d slash the staffs of all the others by 25-50%.

Then I would stop sending money to foreign nations. I would also resign from the U.N. I would limit welfare to the elderly and the disabled who need it, and I would make illegal entry to the United States a capital offense. I realize that last one might strike even those opposed to open borders as unusually harsh. I agree. But I also believe that the punishment needn’t always fit the crime. Sometimes the only way to drive home a lesson is by increasing the punishment to such a degree that it will offset any temptation to take the risk.

● I recently announced that with nearly four months remaining in the year, I was ready to announce that the Hypocrite of the Year Award would once again go to liar-Hillary Clinton.

But never one to rest on her big fat laurels, Mrs. liar-Clinton has also captured the highly competitive Chutzpah Prize this year. In her new book, “What Happened,” she not only blames Donald Trump, James Comey, FBI, the Russians, the Macedonians, the DNC, Bernie Sanders, John Podesta, Anthony Wiener and Matt Lauer, for her defeat, but she insists “The sexist candidate won!”

She might have corralled the Prize just for blaming her loss on a lot of groups and individuals who actually went out and voted for her. But what cinched it for her was labeling Donald Trump a sexist, even though he never told people that the most important reason to vote for him was that he was a man.

● We keep hearing, at least those of us who tune in “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on a regular basis, that the major Internet companies have begun to censor speech in a way that even the federal government wouldn’t dare.

A friend sent me an example of the kind of crap the authoritarians who reside in the left-wing bubble of the Silicon Valley are pulling.

After someone named Carter Braxton posted a perfectly reasonable statement on Facebook, he was told by Big Brother that it had been taken down “because it doesn’t follow the Facebook Community Standards.”

Community standards? Sounds like Mr. Braxton must have been engaging in obscene or at least what is now being described as hate speech, the sort that stands accused of bruising the tender feelings of some sacred-cow class of Americans (Muslims, blacks, illegal aliens, college students, single women, homosexuals, transgenders, etc.).

As Fox News never tires of saying: I’ll report, you decide.

Braxton’s post went like this: “When the Nazis took control of Poland, they destroyed statues they didn’t like. When the North Vietnamese communists took over the south after the American evacuation, they destroyed statues and monuments they didn’t like. When the Taliban came into power in Afghanistan, they destroyed statues they didn’t like. When ISIS started taking control of areas in Iraq, they destroyed statues they didn’t like. Now liberals are in control of major cities in America and they are starting to destroy statues they don’t like. Notice a trend?”

● I don’t know why writing about the fascists running Facebook brought it to mind, but I recently read a line that went “Do clouds ever gaze down and say, ‘Hey, look…that one is shaped just like an idiot.’”

The Hatch Act prohibits overt partisan political conduct on the part of our government officials. The White House is understandably pleased, though they might also be quite understandably exasperated at the length of time it took to get the investigation going... https://rickwells.us/dobbs-shaffer-comey-inspector/

But that isn’t sufficient justice for what she’s done... She gets to waddle around promoting her latest stupid book, she gets to bask in the adulation of Democrats and the media (pardon the redundancy), while her uselessness, dishonesty, and flat-out lawlessness continues to go unpunished. As this awful woman reminds America why we don’t like her as a person, it’s worthwhile to remember that she’s also inept and duplicitous in her professional life. Nothing is going to happen to this incompetent scofflaw, beyond the humiliation of losing and making ridiculous excuses for it. Trump isn’t going to lock her up. And you’re not getting your border wall either, incidentally. But she can’t make us forget what happened. That self-pitying loser can’t erase what she did, and what she didn’t do...  http://dailycaller.com/2017/09/13/sorry-hillary-but-benghazi-isnt-going-away/?utm_medium=email

Speaking has been a bit of a challenge for Pulosi over the past year at times, but it shouldn’t be that tough of a name to negotiate. A speech coach might have told her to slow down, break it down into three parts. Read each one individually and she’d have gotten through it just fine. The guy’s a huge lib and his play is presented as a thinly-veiled attack on white Americans and Republicans. It’s nice to see something so basic and personal as his name thoroughly butchered by this lame-brained Democrat witch... https://rickwells.us/odd-pelosi-lib-name/

Answering this question is vital to understanding the crisis facing America and the West today. Yet few seem able to do it. I offer the following as a guide.

Here's the first thing to know: The two have almost nothing in common.

On the contrary, liberalism has far more in common with conservatism than it does with leftism. The left has appropriated the word "liberal" so effectively that almost everyone -- liberals, leftists and conservatives -- thinks they are synonymous.

But they aren't. Let's look at some important examples.

Race: This is perhaps the most obvious of the many moral differences between liberalism and leftism. The essence of the liberal position on race was that the color of one's skin is insignificant. To liberals of a generation ago, only racists believed that race is intrinsically significant. However, to the left, the notion that race is insignificant is itself racist. Thus, the University of California officially regards the statement "There is only one race, the human race" as racist. For that reason, liberals were passionately committed to racial integration. Liberals should be sickened by the existence of black dormitories and separate black graduations on university campuses.

Capitalism: Liberals have always been pro capitalism, recognizing it for what it is: the only economic means of lifting great numbers out of poverty. Liberals did often view government as able to play a bigger role in lifting people out of poverty than conservatives, but they were never opposed to capitalism, and they were never for socialism. Opposition to capitalism and advocacy of socialism are leftist values.

Nationalism: Liberals deeply believed in the nation-state, whether their nation was the United States, Great Britain or France. The left has always opposed nationalism because leftism is rooted in class solidarity, not national solidarity. The left has contempt for nationalism, seeing in it intellectual and moral primitivism at best, and the road to fascism at worst. Liberals always wanted to protect American sovereignty and borders. The notion of open borders would have struck a liberal as just as objectionable as it does a conservative. It is emblematic of our time that the left-wing writers of Superman comics had Superman announce a few years ago, "I intend to speak before the United Nations tomorrow and inform them that I am renouncing my American citizenship." When the writers of Superman were liberal, Superman was not only an American but one who fought for "Truth, justice, and the American way." But in his announcement, he explained that motto is "not enough anymore."

View of America: Liberals venerated America. Watch American films from the 1930s through the 1950s and you will be watching overtly patriotic, America-celebrating films -- virtually all produced, directed and acted in by liberals. Liberals well understand that America is imperfect, but they agree with a liberal icon named Abraham Lincoln that America is "the last best hope of earth."

To the left, America is essentially a racist, sexist, violent, homophobic, xenophobic and Islamophobic country. The left around the world loathe America, and it is hard to imagine why the American left would differ in this one way from fellow leftists around the world. Leftists often take offense at having their love of America doubted. But those left-wing descriptions of America are not the only reason to assume that the left has more contempt than love for America. The left's view of America was encapsulated in then-presidential candidate Barack liar-nObama's statement in 2008. "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America," he said.

Now, if you were to meet a man who said that he wanted to fundamentally transform his wife, or a woman who said that about her husband, would you assume that either loved their spouse? Of course not.

Free speech: The difference between the left and liberals regarding free speech is as dramatic as the difference regarding race. No one was more committed than American liberals to the famous statement "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Liberals still are. But the left is leading the first nationwide suppression of free speech in American history -- from the universities to Google to almost every other institution and place of work. It claims to only oppose hate speech. But protecting the right of person A to say what person B deems objectionable is the entire point of free speech.

Western civilization: Liberals have a deep love of Western civilization. They taught it at virtually every university and celebrated its unique moral, ethical, philosophical, artistic, musical and literary achievements. No liberal would have joined the leftist Rev. Jesse Jackson in chanting at Stanford University: "Hey, hey. Ho, ho. Western civ has got to go." The most revered liberal in American history is probably former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who frequently cited the need to protect not just Western civilization but Christian civilization. Yet leftists unanimously denounced President Donald Trump for his speech in Warsaw, Poland, in which he spoke of protecting Western civilization. They argued not only that Western civilization is not superior to any other civilization but also that it is no more than a euphemism for white supremacy.

Judaism and Christianity: Liberals knew and appreciated the Judeo-Christian roots of American civilization. They themselves went to church or synagogue, or at the very least appreciated that most of their fellow Americans did. The contempt that the left has -- and has always had -- for religion (except for Islam today) is not something with which a liberal would ever have identified.

If the left is not defeated, American and Western civilization will not survive. But the left will not be defeated until good liberals understand this and join the fight. Dear liberals: Conservatives are not your enemy. The left is.

{rickwells.us} ~ Stuart Varney opens the discussion with Judge Andrew Napolitano by referencing a case in Maryland in which a judge has ordered an investigation... into three attorneys who are believed to have helped liar-Hillary Clinton destroy evidence. Napolitano reminds Varney that it is not a criminal investigation and neither is it a civil lawsuit. “It’s an ethics investigation. Did these three lawyers violate ethical rules by the manner in which they physically handled Mrs. liar-Clinton’s emails?” He says, “The worst that could happen to them is a public reprimand. That’s it, so where is this going? The government has chosen not to prosecute. Jeff Sessions, the Justice Department can investigate, indict and prosecute but they choose not to do so.”...  https://rickwells.us/judge-napolitano-sessions-clinton/

{dailycaller.com} ~ Republican Arizona Rep. Trent Franks says that Robert Mueller is in “clear violation” of federal law prohibiting a special counsel from having a conflict of interest... and therefore must immediately resign as special counsel overseeing the Russia investigation. Mueller’s reported friendship with former FBI director James Comey presents a clear conflict of interest, according to Franks, who is a senior member on the House Judiciary Committee. Federal law defines a conflict of interest as: “a personal relationship with any person substantially involved in the conduct that is the subject of the investigation or prosecution.” “Bob Mueller is in clear violation of federal code and must resign to maintain the integrity of the investigation into alleged Russian ties. Those who worked under them have attested he and Jim Comey possess a close friendship, and they have delivered on-the-record statements effusing praise of one another,” said Franks...  http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/01/house-judiciary-member-mueller-legally-required-to-resign-over-conflict-of-interest/

{frontpagemag.com} ~ Liberalism is a dirty word in today’s left. You hear it most often as an insult, neoliberalism, hurled by the hard left against anyone accused of insufficient hostility to free enterprise and other open systems... If you trust the free market and individual judgement over state regulation, you might just be a neoliberal. Liberal has become a slur on the illiberal left which is intolerant of open and tolerant systems. The defining symbol of the illiberal left is the campus safe space where no free speech is allowed. Safe spaces take the college, once the symbol of a liberal commitment to the free exchange of ideas, and invert it into a space that is safe from the free exchange of ideas under a warm and fuzzy name. The safe space isn’t a campus eccentricity. As the riots from Berkeley to Boston show, using violence to silence free speech isn’t just something overzealous college kids do. It’s what the left does now. And sympathetic lefty mayors of cities put on the same show of helplessness as university administrators...  http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/267836/death-liberalism-daniel-greenfield

Democrats sense an opportunity for victory, Republicans another chance to surrender. Pulosi describes the criminal trespassers as “perpetuating, advancing the American dream.” Maybe for a lawlessopen-borders, anti-America Democrat that makes sense. To anyone without overly subjective leftist influences on their thought process it’s an obvious attack on our nation. She says the illegals somehow are an inspiration and “make America more American.” By definition that’s not correct.

{truthrevolt.org} ~ The law of Occam’s Razor, refined to common parlance, is that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.

If we apply Occam’s Razor to recently reported positions of the US State Department, then we can conclude that the people making decisions at Foggy Bottom have “issues” with Jews and with Israel.

Last Friday, JTA reported that the State Department intends to abide by an agreement it reached in 2014 with the Iraqi government and return the Iraqi Jewish archives to Iraq next year.

The Iraqi Jewish archives were rescued in Baghdad by US forces in 2003 from a flooded basement of the Iraqi secret services headquarters. The tens of thousands of documents include everything from sacred texts from as early as the 16th century to Jewish school records.

The books and documents were looted from the Iraqi Jewish community by successive Iraqi regimes. They were restored by the National Archives in Washington, DC.

The Iraqi Jewish community was one of the oldest exilic Jewish communities.

It began with the Babylonian exile following the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem 2,600 years ago. Until the early 20th century, it was one of the most accomplished Jewish communities in the world. Some of the most important yeshivas in Jewish history were in present-day Iraq. The Babylonian Talmud was written in Iraq. The Jewish community in Iraq predated the current people of Iraq by nearly a thousand years.

It was a huge community. In 1948, Jews were the largest minority in Baghdad.

Jews comprised a third of the population of Basra. The status of the community was imperiled during World War II, when the pro-Nazi junta of generals that seized control of the government in 1940 instigated the Farhud, a weeklong pogrom. 900 Jews were murdered.

Thousands of Jewish homes, schools and businesses were burned to the ground.

With Israel’s establishment, and later with the Baathist seizure of power in Iraq in the 1960s, the once great Jewish community was systematically destroyed.

Between 1948 and 1951, 130,000 Iraqi Jews, three quarters of the community, were forced to flee the country. Those who remained faced massive persecution, imprisonment, torture, execution and expulsion in the succeeding decades.

When US forces overthrew the Baathist regime of Saddam Hussein in 2003, only a dozen or so remained in the country.

Today, there are none left.

As for the current Iraqi government that the State Department wishes to support by implementing its 2014 agreement, it is an Iranian satrapy. Its leadership and military receive operational orders from Iran.

The Iraqi Jewish archive was not created by the Iraqi government. It is comprised of property looted from persecuted and fleeing Jews. In light of this, it ought to be clear to the State Department that the Iraqi government’s claim to ownership is no stronger than the German government’s claim to ownership of looted Jewish property seized by the Nazis would be.

On the other hand, members of the former Jewish community and their descendants have an incontrovertible claim to them. And they have made this claim, repeatedly.

To no avail. As far as the State Department is concerned, they have no claim to sacred books and documents illegally seized from them.

When asked how the US could guarantee that the archive would be properly cared for in Iraq, all State Department spokesman Pablo Rodriguez said was, “When the IJA [Iraqi Jewish archive] is returned, the State Department will urge the Iraqi government to take the proper steps necessary to preserve the archive, and make it available to members of the public to enjoy.”

It is hard not to be taken aback by the callousness of Rodriguez’s statement.

Again, the “members of the public” who wish to “enjoy” the archive are not living in Iraq. They are not living in Iraq because they were forced to run for their lives – after surrendering their communal archives to their persecutors. And still today, as Jews, they will be unable to visit the archives in Iraq without risking their lives because today, at a minimum, the Iraqi regime kowtows to forces that openly seek the annihilation of the Jewish People.

And the State Department knows this.

Then there is the second story that came out this week, whose implications are no less dismal.

Friday, the Washington Free Beacon reported that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is leading an effort by State Department officials to convince President Donald Trump to force Israel to return $75 million in congressionally authorized supplementary aid.

On the face of it, the demand is part of a turf war that the State Department has long fought with Congress regarding the scope of Congress’s power to engage in foreign policy. In the final year of the Obama administration, liar-nObama forced Israel to agree not to accept supplementary appropriations in defense aid from Congress beyond what was agreed upon in the memorandum of understanding he concluded. liar-nObama’s position was rightly viewed as a means to undermine Israel’s relations with members of Congress.

But it was equally a means to undermine Congress’s ability to assert its constitutional power to appropriate funding.

As negotiations between Israel and the liar-nObama administration progressed last year, Senator Lindsay Graham implored Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to accede to liar-nObama’s demand.

But in the empty hope of averting a last-minute move by the liar-nObama administration to enable an anti-Israel resolution to pass at the UN Security Council, and concerned that a liar-Hillary Clinton administration would offer Israel less assistance than liar-nObama had offered, Netanyahu signed the deal.

Graham reacted to the MOU’s conclusion by stating that it is unconstitutional and therefore Congress would disregard it.

After Trump was elected, his advisers assured Israel that they would not enforce the MOU’s restrictions on supplementary funding. And yet, now, the State Department is seeking to do just that.

While in many ways this is an internal American fight, the unmistakable fact is that the State Department always seems to fight its turf war with Congress over issues relating to Israel. Moreover, the fight always involves bearing down on some of the dumbest aspects of traditional US Middle East policy.

Over the past 20 years, the State Department has fought and won two major battles against Congress relating to Israel. First, the State Department has continuously blocked the 1996 Embassy Act that requires the State Department to move the US embassy to Jerusalem.

Second, the State Department fought and won a Supreme Court battle to block implementation of the law requiring it to permit US citizens born in Jerusalem to have Israel listed as their country of birth on their passports.

In both cases, the State Department’s actions reflected a longstanding policy of mollycoddling antisemitic Arab regimes and terrorist groups at Israel’s expense. No US interest has been advanced by these efforts. To the contrary, as Senator Tom Cotton argues in relation to the State Department’s current efforts to force Israel to return the $75m. supplemental appropriation for missile defense projects, the US harms itself by undermining its key ally in fighting the enemies it shares with Israel.

Moreover, the $75m. supplemental assistance for development of missile defense technologies is not a gift to Israel. As the current standoff between the US and North Korea makes clear, the US itself is in dire need of just the sort of anti-missile technologies that Israel is developing. Indeed, the US stands to lose if Israel cuts back its missile defense programs due to lack of funding.

So again, we return to Occam’s Razor.

The State Department’s determination to return the purloined Iraqi Jewish archive to the Iraqi government, like its efforts to convince Trump to demand that Israel return the supplemental aid, doesn’t appear to be guided by any underlying concern for US interests.

Why would Egypt or Saudi Arabia object to Israel developing new means to intercept Hamas, Hezbollah or Iranian missiles? So like its fights against congressional efforts to recognize Israel’s capital city, and indeed like the State Department’s insistence that the US has no option other than recertifying Iranian compliance with liar-nObama’s nuclear deal with the ayatollahs despite overwhelming evidence of Iranian noncompliance, there is an undercurrent of obsessive vindictiveness to the State Department’s current efforts.

In issue after issue, the same officials engage in behavior that appears to reflect a compulsive habit of always demanding that the US adopt positions that weaken US-Israel ties and undermine Jewish rights in Israel, and throughout the Middle East.

Perhaps there is another explanation for this consistent pattern of behavior.

But the simplest explanation is that the State Department suffers from an unhealthy obsession with regard to Jewish rights and the Jewish state.

Zerohedge  Swedish authorities are so inundated with countless cases of rape by Muslim invaders, they are physically unable to cope with the backlog of cases. As a result of this, the 12-year-old girl is still being confronted and taunted by the rapist in her neighborhood.

When pressured by the journalist about the 12-year-old victim, he was told by police, “We have 3-year-old rape victims whose Muslim rapist we have not had time to interrogate, let alone prosecute. These are the realities and it’s terribly regrettable. That’s all I can say about it.”

Sex crimes in the Sweden have doubled since 2012. The most recently available statistics showed that Muslim migrants were 5.5 times more likely to carry out sexual assaults.

Allowing government to censor speech of unpopular groups will lead to suppression of views not approved by government”

Here is a good article on why our race toward authoritarianism and the forcible suppression of unpopular opinions may be ill-advised.

Here is the video of the Cal Poly event that is discussed in this article:

“Freedom of speech under fire,” by Al Fonzi, New Times, September 14, 2017:

Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8GlY2zwZhg

Thomas Jefferson, third President of the United States and the primary author of the Declaration of Independence, repeatedly affirmed the rights of conscience as embodied in the First Amendment’s protection of speech, religion, and peaceful assembly. To quote him:

“No provision in our Constitution ought to be dearer to man than that which protects the rights of conscience.”

What was Jefferson referring to as “conscience”? Prior to the American Revolution, particularly in the early 1700s and late 1600s, Americans were forced to support churches not of their choosing. In some colonies, ministers of non-approved denominations were imprisoned and even hanged. From the memory of this intolerance came insistence upon a Bill of Rights being included in the newly ratified Constitution.

For 200 years these rights were tested and expanded by the courts into a clearly defined body of law that protected the most important rights of humanity: the right to speak your mind without fear of legal prosecution. It doesn’t mean that there won’t be social or economic repercussions; others have the right to disagree with your speech and exercise their own First Amendment right by sanctioning your speech via social isolation and vehemently disagreeing with your views while expounding upon their own. Objectionable speech is best opposed by reasoned speech, not by mob violence or censorship by government.

A growing, disturbing trend from a once vigorous defender of free speech emanates from the academic community. A few years ago I attended an event at Cal Poly that hosted Dr. Robert Spencer who specialized in the intellectual fight against radical Islamic Jihad. A number of Cal Poly students attended, most from various social science disciplines. As soon as Spencer began to speak, a number of students angrily left the room as a form of protest against Spencer’s message, exercising their disagreement via the First Amendment without, however, hearing a word he had to say. A number of Muslim students remained for Spencer’s entire talk, asking pointed questions at the end of the event.

At the end of Spencer’s talk a young woman stated that Spencer shouldn’t be allowed to speak on college campuses as her First Amendment rights protected her against (what she considered) hate speech. She was a senior, scheduled to graduate in a few weeks, a sad commentary on how indoctrination has replaced critical thinking in our universities. Several attorneys present in the audience proceeded to correct her misinterpretation of the First Amendment, which protects objectionable speech against the tyranny of the majority….

Allowing the government to censor the speech of unpopular groups will inevitably lead to suppression of all views not approved by the government.

With freedom of speech under heavy assault, Hillary says message of 1984 is “Trust Big Brother”

“Nineteen Eighty-Four is famous for the term ‘doublespeak’ — a powerful form of propaganda that deliberately obscures, disguises, or reverses the meaning of words. In the book, the government destroys the very purpose of language by insisting that ‘War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.'”

Nowadays the Orwellian line is “Islam is a religion of peace.” And then there’s “hate speech is not free speech.”

“Orwell’s point in 1984 was that the very kind of technocratic progressivism which Hillary Clinton praises as the solution to all social ills is itself the deep and abiding threat.”

Yes, and it’s coming down fast, and unless large numbers of people wake up quickly to what is happening, it will very soon be upon us.

“Has Hillary Lost Her Grip on Reality? ‘Rely on Big Brother’ Was NOT the Message of Orwell’s 1984,” by Tyler O’Neil, PJ Media, September 13, 2017:

In her new book What Happened, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took a shot at literary interpretation — and twisted George Orwell’s book 1984 to mean the exact opposite of what it really means.

“Attempting to define reality is a core feature of authoritarianism,” Clinton wrote. “This is what the Soviets did when they erased political dissidents from historical photos. This is what happens in George Orwell’s classic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, when a torturer holds up four fingers and delivers electric shocks until his prisoner sees five fingers as ordered.”

So far, so good. Then Clinton draws the exact wrong message from Orwell’s classic. “The goal is to make you question logic and reason and to sow mistrust toward exactly the people we need to rely on: our leaders, the press, experts who seek to guide public policy based on evidence, ourselves,” she bizarrely added.

But Clinton wasn’t done. “For Trump, as with so much he does, it’s about simple dominance,” she concluded.

Writer and lecturer James Heartfield noted that Clinton’s interpretation is a “bizarre misreading.”

One Twitter user cleverly pointed out how Clinton’s own interpretation of 1984 uses “doublespeak” to subvert the very message of the classic work.

This literary analysis of Clinton’s paragraph hit the nail on the head. The former secretary of State started out by correctly explaining Orwell’s point — authoritarianism does indeed try to redefine reality.

Nineteen Eighty-Four is famous for the term “doublespeak” — a powerful form of propaganda that deliberately obscures, disguises, or reverses the meaning of words. In the book, the government destroys the very purpose of language by insisting that “War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.”

Both the Left and the Right have pushed narratives that dismiss and demonize the other side, but Clinton’s use of propaganda here was rather obvious. Again, she wrote, “The goal is to make you question logic and reason and to sow mistrust toward exactly the people we need to rely on: our leaders, the press, experts who seek to guide public policy based on evidence, ourselves.”

In 1984, every single one of those groups besides “ourselves” is in on the propaganda game. The political leaders are controlling the narrative, erasing history and even words from existence. The press is an arm of the state, pushing the big government’s propaganda (sound familiar?). A powerful group of “experts” use their position to oppress the people, and Orwell reveals this system directly, as the main character works in the administration.

Orwell’s point in 1984 was that the very kind of technocratic progressivism which Hillary Clinton praises as the solution to all social ills is itself the deep and abiding threat. Since the late 1890s onward, progressivism has placed tremendous faith in scientific “experts” to reshape society, and the governing administrative state is a direct result of this movement.

Clinton, as leader of the party of big government, is infamous for pushing the all-consuming liberal narrative of political correctness, which brooks no opposition or question. She unequivocally embraced “intersectionality” during the campaign, championing “oppressed” groups which actually exert political power and dismissing those who would dare to disagree as “deplorables.”…

This is why Hillary Clinton’s misreading of Orwell is so dangerous. So many liberals see themselves as being on the side of the angels, and they cannot come to grips with the fact that millions of Americans disagree with them, for rational reasons that have nothing to do with racism or “hate.”…

The enraged man, 42, began beating shoppers in the French city at around 4pm before police who were only metres away swooped in.

The assailant kicked and punched the officers before they managed to contain and arrest him.

He continued to shout Allahu Akbar – Arabic for God is Great – as he was wrestled to the ground before bursting into tears.

Footage shows the man being handcuffed and lifted on to a stretcher before being taken hospital.

One witness said: ‘We were chatting and he jumped on us. He first caught my son and then beat my daughter. We just ran.’…

French police say the alleged perpetrator was released from a psychiatric hospital in April….

Hillary meltdown an omen of the future?

NOTE:  When writing about God and Jesus, The Daily Jot means YHVH as God and Yeshua Ha Mashiach as Jesus--the actual original names and the true nature and character of them.
  
Thursday, September 14, 2017
A friend of mine and I were talking last night about future Democratic Party candidates for President. He was telling me about a Zogby Analytics poll of likely Democratic Party voters who ranked the candidates for which they would most likely vote in 2020. There were three that rose to the top: Senator Bernie Sanders (Socialist-VT), Former Vice President Joe Biden, and Senator Elizabeth Warren (Democrat Progressive-MA). Our main question to one another that we really couldn't answers was: How do these people get where they are? When Joe Biden emerges as the most sane among them, there is a tremendous problem within the Democratic Party. But Hillary Clinton is a tremendous indicator.
 
Unlike any losing presidential candidate in history, Clinton has come out of her post-campaign depression swinging. She is blaming Sanders, the ex-"president," women, men, government agency leaders, Russia, racists, misogyny, bigotry, and any other terms she can for losing the election. It is kind of a meltdown in public. Clinton was on CNN the other night talking about relieving her stress from losing the election by using a yoga technique of alternating breathing from her nostrils. Worse yet, CNN's Anderson Cooper actually tolerated and encouraged this nonsense. Some Democrat office holders and insiders, according to The Hill, just wish she would shut up and go away.
 
Clinton is unable to admit that she, herself, was a flawed candidate and ran a flawed campaign. Even according to her own campaign operatives, who remain in the shadows and do not want to be named by the press, Clinton wants to blame everyone except herself for her loss. The Clinton meltdown has sucked the air out of attempts by other Democratic Party leaders to unite their base, integrate the socialists/progressives into the party mainstream, and move on to the issues upon which they want to focus. Clinton appears bitter, mean-spirited, and unable to accept responsibility for a loss when she had the news media, the pollsters, and leftist organizations tilting the scales in her favor.
 
Imagine if she would have been president. Imagine if things didn't go her way or she was criticized even a fraction of what the current President has been. Would her delusional state cause her to react in such a way that would harm us all, never accepting responsibility for her own actions? These are legitimate questions not only for Clinton, but also for the three frontrunners who would assume the role of the next Democratic Party presidential nominee. All three-Sanders, Warren and Biden-have demonstrated similar characteristics as Clinton. As Psalm 14:1 says, "The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that do good." And therein is the problem with all of these-While they say they know God, their actions prove otherwise. Remember them for the future.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

ANTIFA: Violence is Necessary


ANTIFA: Violence is Necessary


The extreme liberal movement Antifa, anti-fascists, are continuing to protest President Trump all throughout the nation. They claim their use of violence is ‘necessary’ to combat authoritarianism and they are not sorry about it.

‘Experts’ and activists alike in the Antifa movement agree that the ‘use of force is intrinsic to their political philosophy,’ the Hill reports.

“The justification [of the use of violence] is that Nazi ideology at its very core is founded on violence and on wielding power by any means,” said Mike Isaacson, founder of Smash Racism D.C., an antifa organization in Washington.

Isaacson is unequivocal in his defense of violence as a legitimate tool to combat the creeping threat of what he deems authoritarianism.

–The Hill

“There is the question of whether these people should feel safe organizing as Nazis in public, and I don’t think they should,” said Isaacson.

“I don’t think anyone should think that someone who is intent on politically organizing for the sake of creating a state-sponsored genocide — I don’t think is something that we should protect.”

This report comes after it was revealed Antifa has started a violent anti-cop ‘workshop’ titled “Our Enemies in Blue”.

The program is being touted on various alt-left websites — including It’s Going Down, Sub.Media and Insurrection News — and are promoting it as a “Revolutionary Abolitionist Movement” (RAM). They are openly calling for violence against the police.

00:17 / 00:36

The group published a press release: in it they disclosed their plan to serve as a protective barrier to mosques that “are being ruthlessly bombed” (are they talking about America?) and the alleged systematic battering of LGBTQ community. “The destruction of black life continues unabated as millions languish in the plantations of the modern day slave system,” it states.

The ‘heroins’ of RAM includes Mumia Abu Jamal, “the Black Panther activist who shot and killed Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981,” and Russell Shoats, “who shot a police officer in the back five times in 1970.”

Far Left Watch has outlined the goals of RAM, which is everything from “Abolition of Gender” to the “Expropriation and the Cooperative Economy.” ‘Much of this borrows from the leftist guerilla movement known as the Rojava Revolution in northern Syria, who are currently involved in battling ISIS,’ reports the Daily Wire.

It has been reported, by the Daily Caller, that RAM has been holding different anti-police workshops

including: “Legal Training”, “Introduction to Anarchism,” and “Our Enemies in Blue,” which deals with

actual actions against the police–or how to handle law enforcement during violent clashes.

Action Taken on Teacher Who Booted Kids for Trump Slogan

A high-school math teacher in Woodstock, Georgia, has been removed from her classroom after she ordered two of her students to cover the “Make America Great Again” slogan of President Trump and compared it to a swastika.

As WND reported, Lyn Orletsky was a math teacher at River Ridge High School on Aug. 31 when she told her students: “Just like you cannot wear a swastika in school, you cannot wear [Make America Great Again] like that.”

She asked them to flip their shirts inside out or leave.

The Cherokee County School District apologized and said the teenagers were not in trouble.

“Her actions were wrong, as the ‘Make America Great Again’ shirts worn by the students are not a violation of our school district dress code,” Cherokee County Schools spokeswoman Barbara Jacoby said at the time.

Whining Hillary Now Joins Soros in Campaign to Destroy Republic, Abolish Electoral College

Hillary Clinton told CNN on Wednesday that it is time to abolish the Electoral College, part of a sweeping interview where the former Democratic nominee sought to explain why she lost the 2016 election.

Clinton, in the interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, displayed her animus for fired FBI Director James Comey, reflected on her love for the people — namely former President Bill Clinton — who helped her get through the crushing loss and blasted the arcane election body that she believes helped Donald Trump win the presidency.

“I think it needs to be eliminated,” Clinton said of the Electoral College. “I’d like to see us move beyond it, yes.”

Clinton won the 2016 popular vote by nearly 3 million votes, a fact she routinely brings up in her new memoir. But Trump won the Electoral College, a body of 538 members who select the president based on the popular vote in each state, meaning the person who gets the most votes nationally doesn’t necessarily win the election.

They are the parts which provide the protections from terrorism and the national security restrictions, the essence of the executive order. The ruling temporarily prevents 24,000 potential security threats from entering the nation. In a brief order, the court said it was continuing a stay of a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that had tried to force Mr. Trump to limit his refugee ban...  https://rickwells.us/supreme-court-trump-travel-ban/

Hope Hicks is now in charge of the communications shop in the White House... The President of the United States, who feminists hate so much, has handed his entire communications operation over to women. Talk about female empowerment. This is not an issue of nepotism, but an issue of competence. Yet feminists will still not be happy because the women at the White House do not support killing children. The media will probably ignore this. I would not be surprised. But you shouldn’t. The left bashes President Trump on a daily basis, in part for his supposed treatment of women, but the man has put women in charge of the single most important daily operation in the White House, i.e. communicating his message. Credit where it is due — this is a big, bold move by President Trump. Though he is ultimately his own communications director, that he would put women in these prime positions is impressive...  http://theresurgent.com/donald-trump-puts-the-women-in-charge-feminists-are-sure-to-be-angry/

.ESPN — The Entertainment Sports Political Network?
by Mark Alexander:  Over the last couple of years, the Entertainment Sports Programing Network (ESPN) has joined the NFL in a precipitous ratings slide, because some arrogant members of both teams have endeavored to inject politics into sports. ESPN has fired more than 100 personnel to offset losses in advertising revenues, and it’s preparing to fire 100 more. In a recent example of ESPN’s politically correct absurdity, it removed a sports announcer named “Robert Lee”  because he might offend racial sensitivities  in the wake of the Charlottesville riot. Lee is an American of Asian descent.
          This week, on the anniversary of the 9/11 Islamist attack on our nation, another ESPN talkinghead, Jemele Hill, a co-host of SportsCenter, went on a social media Trump Derangement Syndrome rampage. According to Jemele:
          Donald Trump is a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists. The height of white privilege is being able to ignore his white supremacy, because it’s of no threat to you. Well, it’s a threat to me. Trump is the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime. His rise is a direct result of white supremacy. Period. He has surrounded himself with white supremacists — no they are not “alt right” — and you want me to believe he isn’t a white supremacist? No the media doesn’t make it a threat. It IS a threat. He has empowered white supremacists (see: Charlottesville). He is unqualified and unfit to be president. He is not a leader. And if he were not white, he never would have been elected. Donald Trump is a bigot. Glad you could live with voting for him. I couldn’t, because I cared about more than just myself.
          Recall that former ESPN commentator and Hall of Fame pitcher Curt Schilling was fired for sharing a Patriot Post meme on social media. Well, ESPN issued Hill nothing more than a mild reprimand, noting: “The comments on Twitter from Jemele Hill regarding the President do not represent the position of ESPN. We have addressed this with Jemele and she recognizes her actions were inappropriate.” Sure, right. No wonder another ESPN anchor, Linda Cohn, admitted in April that infusing politics into sports is “definitely a percentage”of ESPN’s problem. A high percentage.
          The day before Hill’s outburst, we credited the Cleveland Browns for “seeing the ratings light,” as all team members stood for our national anthem, after some had been taking a knee in a pathetic anti-American protest. If the rest of the league, and its promoters at ESPN, see the same light in time, they may able to salvage their ratings slide — but it may be too little too late

 Construction Worker Shortage Acute After Hurricanes 
 
0XolgI03jW_bwnm4Z609lzF5eOi-Yr32sc9SbvZtheRnQs2qiPS4h8zHweNnfQKYkvCvxUk8U_vF1jG0IVMO8pmankrmG3ImvlN3z880svGXRfenVH6a6BiF5_8RXx4=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
by Business Review Board:  The demand for construction workers, which was already high before Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, will now become even more acute as Texas and Florida seek to rebuild. Just this past June, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that there were 225,000 construction job openings — a 30% jump from last year and a 125% increase since 2012. The Associated General Contractors of America anticipates that a whopping 86% of construction firms nationwide will be seeking to hire workers.
          The trouble is there’s a shortage of workers. And that shortage is not due to low pay, as construction workers and day laborers’ wages have steadily increased. In Texas, for example, carpenters’ wages have increased 55% in just three years to an average of $25 an hour. There are three primary factors that have contributed to the shortage. First, after the last housing boom and ensuing downturn, a lot of construction workers left the industry, either for other jobs or retirement. Second, there are fewer young men pursuing trade and vocational education, further depleting the pool. Third, Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration has impacted the industry.
          After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, a significant amount of the cleanup and rebuilding was done by illegal alien workers. In Louisiana 29% of construction workers were illegals; in Texas it was 23% and in Florida 15%. That’s by no means a recommendation for illegal labor but rather an explanation for the shortage.
          It’s estimated that around 30,000 homes were destroyed by Harvey in Houston, and the damage from Irma is yet to be assessed. Fortunately, Florida was spared greater damage by Irma’s ultimate course, but homes and businesses statewide will need repairs and the rebuilding will be going on for years to come.
          First, Trump should work with Congress on an Irma disaster relief package that includes more guest-worker visas to immediately cover worker shortages. Second, more young people should be encouraged to seek vocational skills and apprenticeship programs, which can set them on rewarding career paths while avoiding higher educational debt. The truth is that college isn’t for everyone, but work is. Especially when rebuilding from hurricanes.  ~The Patriot Post

{rickwells.us} ~ At another of the often infamous Christian Science Monitor breakfasts, an administration bureaucrat, Marc Short, took questions from the press... This is the same event where Paul Ryan once told us how good TPP was going to be for us all, so the truth is in no way a critical component of the dialogue. This time Short was sent out to sell DACA amnesty and compromise. A reporter asked Short, “Does a continuous wall along our southern border have to be part of whatever compromise is reached by the end of the year on DACA?” The assumption is now being made that there will be a compromise on amnesty and the position in support of such an amnesty bill by President Trump is also now presumed. The care with which Short chooses his words are a warning sign that they are walking a fine line. Sounding as if he is reciting the bullet points he’s been told to repeat for the “simple-minded at home,” Short says, “I think that we are most interested in getting border security and the President has made a commitment to the American people that he wants, he believes that a physical barrier is important to that equation of border security.”...  https://rickwells.us/daca-amnesty-wall-trump/

Some of the monuments are of stone, overgrown and weathered, engraved with a Communist red star and a fallen pilot’s name... Other memorials are made from a fighter jet’s vertical stabilizer fin, adorned with the requisite red star and a small photo. Yet, at this secluded spot on a clear summer day in August, the roar of U.S. Air Force A-10 “Warthog” warplanes broke the bucolic quiescence. A little more than a quarter century ago, the noise of those American jets, at this base 160 miles from the Russian border, would have meant war. However, on this day—26 years after the Soviet Union’s breakup, and 13 years after Estonia joined NATO—those U.S. warplanes were flying as part of a NATO exercise meant to reassure Estonia, and remind Moscow, that the Western alliance is ready to defend its members with military force...  http://dailysignal.com/2017/09/12/us-air-force-dusts-off-old-skills-fight-new-kind-war-eastern-europe/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWkRBMU5HVmxNelZsWW1NMiIsInQiOiJDdnpZclc4ZVNSVHNUa1JjT3NnNEJteEFHYVRnSGp5eGx2cXhMNWsxMjVTWlB2Q2NFTytMelVWMHVoOTNKM1JSK2Rtam1xeFRpMWFPekk0eDV1M2plMzY2amFibDdRM0dEeHorSE5RZVdneDJtbXZuOTAzVytlbmwxa0ZXanpuZiJ9

In a letter to White House counsel Don McGahn, the senators explained their intention to block any nominee who has not been approved by Oregon’s judicial selection committee. In essence, these senators are looking to stonewall the nomination. The Constitution gives the president the power to appoint judges, with the advice and consent of the Senate. So how is it that two senators can bring a nomination to a halt?...  http://dailysignal.com/2017/09/12/stop-democrats-stonewalling-judicial-nominees/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWkRBMU5HVmxNelZsWW1NMiIsInQiOiJDdnpZclc4ZVNSVHNUa1JjT3NnNEJteEFHYVRnSGp5eGx2cXhMNWsxMjVTWlB2Q2NFTytMelVWMHVoOTNKM1JSK2Rtam1xeFRpMWFPekk0eDV1M2plMzY2amFibDdRM0dEeHorSE5RZVdneDJtbXZuOTAzVytlbmwxa0ZXanpuZiJ9

Unanimous: New Sanctions Against North Korea
YOXZebM2PqgbbZ6S7MKY29F3__MyX07X7BVO7o0999lkqmX3PiKk_I_pLFojXYaNz_cQy5S28Es1rFpK_e5LUbXJb-SDMRcENsw4mFD5XNtMqaEiRqDetltQqDlYC-s=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
by National Security Desk:  The United Nations Security Council voted unanimously Monday to impose new restrictive sanctions against North Korea. U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley stated, “Today we are saying the world will never accept a nuclear-armed North Korea.” Haley continued, “We are not looking for war. North Korea has not yet passed the point of no return.”
          This latest round of sanctions is the most restrictive to date, covering some 90% of North Korea’s exports. Energy imports to the rogue country are significantly reduced — oil imports by 30%, capped at four million barrels annually, while natural gas imports are banned entirely. There will also be an embargo placed on all of the hermit nation’s textile trade, accounting for some $760 million in revenue last year.
          It’s significant to note that this resolution was unanimously agreed upon. Both China and Russia, by far Kim Jong Un’s largest trade partners, are concerned enough about his ongoing illegal 

missile and nuclear weapon development programs to side with the U.S. in seeking to stop him. Thus far China has been happy to leverage Kim’s aggressive behavior as an opportunity for covering over its own regional power grab, as well as for tipping the scales of trade with the U.S. in its own favor. Russia and China have repeatedly called for the U.S. to dismantle the missile defense system it set up in South Korea known as THAAD, which Haley called “insulting” for their false moral equivalence between the U.S. and North Korea.
          But these latest sanctions, and the unanimity of the vote, should go a long way in further pressuring and isolating the rogue nation from the rest of the world, while encouraging other nations in the region. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that the resolution “raises the pressure on North Korea to an unprecedented new level and expresses the clear will of the international community that we must change the policies of North Korea.”
          One thing is for certain: Donald Trump is doing everything in his power to reel in the fat tyrant, short of declaring war. We hope it doesn’t come to that.  ~The Patriot Post

{rickwells.us} ~ A persuasive argument could be made that had both Janet Napolitano and Jihadi Jeh Johnson not been appointed to their positions as Directors of Homeland Security and they been left vacant... we’d have been better off than with their corrupt negative influences. The same can be said for their predecessor, Michael “Rapiscan” Chertoff, the naked body scanner peddler. Now that there’s a vacancy that is being filled on an acting basis by Elaine Duke. Jihadi Jeh, the creator of the welfare for terrorists CVE program, thinks someone of “Cabinet Level” needs to be appointed. Is it too hard for his fellow jihadists to penetrate American defenses with Duke in the spot? The whole interview seems to have been set up to make that point and to take advantage of the calendar...  https://rickwells.us/jihadi-jeh-trump-dhs/

{freebeacon.com} ~ Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has been pushing the Trump White House to demand that Israel give back to the United States millions of dollars in military aid... prompting pushback in the West Wing and further fueling ongoing tensions between Foggy Bottom and the White House over a range of key diplomatic issues, according to multiple sources briefed on the situation. The former administration came under fire from congressional leaders and the pro-Israel community for conditioning U.S. military aid—a cornerstone of the U.S.-Israel alliance—on a provision that bars Israel from lobbying Congress for increased aid as a range of conflicts in the Middle East develop...Tillerson should be focusing on Islamic Charities rather on Israel.   http://freebeacon.com/national-security/tillerson-state-dept-demanding-israel-hand-back-millions-u-s-military-aid/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=aaa6de1ef5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_09_11&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-aaa6de1ef5-45611665

MODERN TIMES
by Burt Prelutsky


All the chatter about DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) (aka Democrats Aiding Criminal Aliens) almost makes me long for the good old days when the media was going berserk over Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia.

What Barack liar-nObama did when he granted amnesty to the so-called Dreamers was, as he kept saying before finally deciding to do it, unconstitutional.

I agree that for Congress, it’s a bit of a sticky wicket. After all, for the most part, these young people had no say in whether their parents snuck into the United States. But therein lies part of the problem. If the kids had only been babies or toddlers when they arrived, the problem would have been easier to resolve. Now that they’re in their 20s and 30s, so long as they didn’t have a criminal record, the decent thing would be to let them stay.

The problem then would be that the liberals would insist that if they got to stay, so should their relatives. According to the mantra of the Left, we mustn’t do anything that might split up families. The fact they choose to ignore is that the illegal aliens split up their own families every time they sneak into this country, leaving their spouses and kids behind.

One of the other problems is that a large number of the Dreamers came here as teenagers, not as tots, and apparently of their own volition.

In any case, as I see it, people are not supposed to profit from the commission of a crime unless, it seems, they happen to be Hispanic. The Dreamers have no business being immune from deportation. After all, if you rob a bank, your wife and children aren’t entitled to keep the loot simply because they didn’t case the First National or drive the getaway car.

● Speaking of DACA, it will probably come as no surprise that Cher, a devout Never-Trumper, has announced that she will be inviting one of the Dreamers to live in her house, and has called upon other show business types to do the same. Of course, it should be remembered that the ex-diva’s last public announcement was that she was leaving America if Trump won the election, and yet here she is, still residing in her very own Old People’s Home.

This time, though, she might actually be telling the truth. That is, if she can manage to find a 24-year-old Dreamer who just happens to look like a young Antonio Banderas.

● Apparently, some college was so hard up for a commencement speaker, they invited John hanoi-Kerry to do the honors. Those who managed to remain awake got to hear him welcome the grads to a world without borders. Apparently, nobody on the premises got to ask him which world he had in mind.

I mean, I suppose if he was referring to the U.S. and the E.U., his point was well taken. But even someone as stupid as our former Secretary of State knows that China, Russia, Turkey, India, Iran, Japan, North and South Korea, Australia, Israel and Mexico, just to name a handful of the more obvious exceptions, take their borders very seriously. In fact, in a world with a population of seven billion, it’s only the nations whose population amounts to roughly 10% of that total that have decided that national sovereignty is the equivalent of a four-letter word.

I can just see one of those young squirts showing up at the Russian border, and then, like someone during the days of speakeasies, trying to gain entry by telling the border guards that “hanoi-Kerry sent me.”

● I keep hearing that driverless cars will be the next big thing in the automotive world. If by big thing, they’re talking about the likes of Edsel’s and electric cars, I might agree. But I can’t imagine anything as nerve-racking as sitting in a car that is driving itself.

I know that the argument is that 40,000 people die every year in the U.S., thanks to traffic accidents, caused mainly by idiots driving under the influence of booze, drugs or cell phones. But I suspect I would have to be drunk as a lord before I’d get into a car and tell it to take me home. Besides, it will work on electronics. Which means that it will be as susceptible as your computer, my computer and the Pentagon’s computers, to the mischief of hackers who have nothing better to do with their time than create Internet viruses.

But, whereas the schmucks who create those viruses can only imagine the havoc they’re causing, this new breed will be able to sit home in their parents’ basements and watch hundred-car pile-ups on their TVs.

● It figures that the City Council of Sacramento, the city that is the capital of the zoo known as California, would come up with a plan that pays MS-13 $1.5 million not to kill people. Naturally, being politicians, they don’t put it that bluntly. Instead, they pretend the money will go towards providing the vicious punks with job skills. Perhaps if the city had a mayor like Rudy Giuliani, he might have suggested the Council invest the money in building up the police department or enlarging the city jail. But, unfortunately, the mayor is a guy named Darrell Steinberg, which begs the question whether in the entire nation there is a single Jewish politician who isn’t a left-wing moron.

Being a Jew myself, you can imagine how embarrassing it is that every time you hear some creep on TV denouncing Trump and his agenda, it’s someone named clown-Schumer, Blumenthal, Wasserman-Schultz, Sherman, Schiff, Cardin, Feinstein, Lowenthal, Sanders or Franken.

It’s one of those unfortunate facts of life that it’s always been Jews like Jack Benny, George Burns, Alan King, Danny Kaye, Dinah Shore, Milton Berle, Michael Landon, Albert Brooks, Lauren Bacall, Walter Matthau, Jane Seymour, Gene Wilder, Tony Curtis, Kirk Douglas, Leslie Howard, Woody Allen, Joan Rivers, Lorne Green, Rodney Dangerfield, Tony Randall, Jill St. John, Steve Lawrence, Elliott Gould and Judy Holliday, who change their names, and never one of those damn political hacks.

● Because the jokes I have on hand are either suitable but not funny or funny but not suitable, I’ll close with some of the odd facts passed along by Joe Neuner, the man who has singlehandedly put Olathe, Kansas, on the map.

It is impossible to lick your own elbow.

The state with the largest percentage of people who walk to work is Alaska.

Men can read smaller print than women; women can hear better. I believe men can hear just fine; they just don’t always care to listen to a litany of their shortcomings.

The percentage of Africa that is wilderness is 28%, but the percentage of North America that is wilderness is 38%.

The cost of raising a medium-size dog to the age of 11 is $16,400. A lot of money, I grant you, but keep in mind that 11 is a bit past middle-age for a dog, and in the meantime, Fido won’t use drugs, insist on driving your car or squander your life savings by wasting four years pursuing a liberal arts degree. 

The first novel ever written on a typewriter was “Tom Sawyer.”

The San Francisco cable cars are the only mobile National Monuments.

Fifty percent of all Americans live within 50 miles of their birthplace. Apparently, for half of us, our get-up never really got going.

The one thing that bulletproof vests, fire escapes windshield wipers and laser printers, all have in common is that they were invented by women.

The only food that doesn’t spoil is honey.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, a show of hands: How many of you have finally stopped trying and are now convinced that you really can’t lick your own elbow?

liberalism is a dirty word in today’s left. You hear it most often as an insult, neoliberalism, hurled by the hard left against anyone accused of insufficient hostility to free enterprise and other open systems. If you trust the free market and individual judgement over state regulation, you might just be a neoliberal.

And neoliberals are the biggest enemies of the left.

Liberal has become a slur on the illiberal left which is intolerant of open and tolerant systems. The defining symbol of the illiberal left is the campus safe space where no free speech is allowed. Safe spaces take the college, once the symbol of a liberal commitment to the free exchange of ideas, and invert it into a space that is safe from the free exchange of ideas under a warm and fuzzy name.

4064461706?profile=original                                      SWAMP THING LUIS GUTIERREZ DOUBLES DOWN

 

                                                                                     By

     

                                                                       Daniel John Sobieski

 

Illinois Rep. Luis Gutierrez, who represents the 4th Congressional district a gerrymandered snake-shaped district designed to protect his vitriolic incumbency, has doubled down on his criticism o  DHS head Gen. John Kelly as being unfit to wear his uniform for opposing the illegal and unconstitutional DACA program rejected by a Congress in which Gutierrez sat:

Illinois Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D) responded to Gen. John Kelly [Ret.], after the White House chief of staff dismissed the Chicagoan's first round of criticisms.

Gutierrez said Kelly, a retired four-star Marine general, is "a politician, OK, not a general."

"What could be more mean and more vicious than to say 'you've got six months to pack up...and leave the United States'?" Gutierrez asked of Kelly.

"I don't see [him wearing] a uniform," Gutierrez told the Washington Post.

Ann we don’t see Rep. Gutierrez ever wearing a uniform, unlike Gen’ Kelly’s son Robert who gave his life for his country in Afghanistan fighting to protect America and the freedom of Muslims seeking liberation from the depraved tyranny of the Taliban:

Robert Kelly, 29, was killed in a roadside bomb blast in 2010 during a foot patrol in Afghanistan's Helmand province.

Like his son, who gave his life for others who did not look like him or shared many of his beliefs, Gen. Kelly served with and commanded and witnessed the sacrifice of soldiers of all races, ethnicities and genders. He is nor a bigot, but a patriot who deserved better for seeking enforcement of the nation’s laws and Constitution than what Rep. Gutierrez gave him:

The Washington Examiner reported that U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez, a Democrat, took personal aim at Kelly because Kelly once reportedly spoke favorably about the program. House members reported in July that Kelly told Latino lawmakers in a closed-door meeting that he was supportive of the program, but pointed out that it was probably illegal….

“General Kelly is a hypocrite who is a disgrace to the uniform he used to wear,” the congressman said in a statement.

"General Kelly, when he was the head of Homeland Security, lied straight to the faces of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus about preventing the mass deportation of DREAMers," Gutierrez also said. "He has no honor and should be drummed out of the White House along with the white supremacists and those enabling the president's actions by ‘just following orders.'"

It is Rep. Gutierrez who has no honor as well as no respect fo American citizenship,  the nation’s laws and the Constitution he was sworn to uphold. Gutierrez has long supported open borders and even supported expanding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program to illegal parents:

For Democrats such as Grijalva and Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., amnesty and the political benefits stemming from it are inevitable. They are quite willing to use children to exploit the inherent compassion of the American people if it means ensuring the political future of the Democratic Party through the gratitude of millions of illegal aliens allowed to come here and stay.

 

Gutierrez recently told a La Raza conference that it was only a "down payment" that President Obama gave the Latino community with his Deferred Action for Children Arrivals (DACA) program that halted the deportation of 600,000 of "our people":

"Now it is time for the president in the United States ... (to) free the mom and dads of the DREAMers and to go further — be broad and expansive and generous."

Unlike Rep. Luis Gutierrez, Gen. John Kelly has long  his country honorably: Gutierrez is a career politician living on the taxpayer’s dime while, like Bill and Hillary Clinton, using his office to personally enrich himself:

In Chicago, where a decade long building boom has reshaped neighborhoods, politicians have come to rely on real estate interests to donate to their campaigns. But the Democratic congressman's financial relationship with some contributors goes beyond campaign cash, according to records and interviews.

In half a dozen deals with campaign supporters since 2002, Gutierrez has made about $421,000 by investing his money in real estate deals and exiting a short time later. The congressman says he made a profit in five of those deals but lost a small amount of money on the sixth. …

Gutierrez has bought and sold properties with five campaign donors, including convicted political fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko….

The demise of DACA wouldl be a deserved end to a magnet for illegal immigration based on an unconstitutional executive order by President Barack Hussein Obama who was frustrated that Congress failed to pass it as legislation named the DREAM Act. As syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer observed on Fox News’ Special Report at the time:

 You can have executive orders that implement already existing laws. What Obama has done in the DREAM Act, which is exactly what you've talked about. Essentially he passed a law by executive order that the Congress had rejected, wouldn't pass, that is unbelievably unconstitutional. It's as if a Republican ran and said I don't like the capital gains tax, Congress rejects an abolition of that tax and then he orders the IRS not to collect it. People would be up in arms and would be impeaching. He's doing that over and over again on immigration

Even President Obama said he didn’t have the authority to do what he eventually did – enact the Congressionally rejected DREAM Act through executive order:

With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations through executive order, that’s just not the case, because there are laws on the books that Congress has passed — and I know that everybody here at Bell is studying hard so you know that we’ve got three branches of government. Congress passes the law. The executive branch’s job is to enforce and implement those laws. And then the judiciary has to interpret the laws.

There are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as President.

Was President Obama also a dishonorable hypocrite for saying the executive order on DACA had no legitimacy in the law or Constitution? Thankfully, unlike Gutierrez, we still have Americans like John Kelly and his son Robert willing to serve their country honorably even to the point of making the ultimate sacrifice.
