{rickwells.us} ~ Judge Andrew Napolitano addresses the question of when is it right and when is it wrong to unmask the identity of an American. Susan Rice is not going to like what he’s got to say... Napolitano points out that the key points are what “Rice did with the name once unmasked and why she unmasked it.” He says, “The government surveils conversations and she believes that the conversations involve a foreign power so she asks for a transcript of the conversation. She gets it immediately, and she sees American person 1, foreign agent, American person 1, foreign agent. She feels knowing who the American person 1 is will help her understand the conversation, the NSA gives her the name. That is called unmasking. That’s legal – unmasking for the purpose of developing a further understanding of the national security reason for the conversation.” Napolitano continues, “Unmasking for another reason – politics, vengeance, curiosity, embarrassment; that is profoundly illegal. So if the conversation, instead of between foreign agent and American 1 is between American 1 and American 2, and number 1 is Donald Trump and number 2 is Paul Manafort, and she sees what they’re talking about, she whispers in the ‘president’s’ ear, ‘guess what Trump and Manafort talked about tonight, and we’re back in July, that’s called espionage.”...  http://rickwells.us/napolitano-whoever-released-susan-rice-unmasked-flynn-trump-names-committed-felony/

I mean, Donald Trump’s name would have been mentioned in hundreds, if not thousands of foreign intercepts. So she just happened to choose these ones?

Trump has chosen to lead his foreign policy team may complicate efforts to fulfill his inaugural pledge to eradicate "radical Islamic terrorism" "from the face of the Earth"... a Herculean task even under the best of circumstances. An analysis of the political appointments to the different agencies within the U.S. national security apparatus shows that the key members of the president's foreign policy team hold widely divergent views on the threat posed by radical Islam — and on the nature of Islam itself. They also disagree on approaches to Iran, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the European Union, Russia, globalism and other national security issues. The policy disconnect is being exacerbated by the fact that dozens of key positions within the Pentagon, the State Department and other agencies remain unfilled... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10158/white-house-islam-isis-israel-iran

The Allegation That Congress Destroyed
Your Internet Privacy Is Fake News
by Tom Giovanetti
{ipi.org} ~ You have been lied to about “your browsing history being sold to the highest bidder.” That was fake news pushed by special interest groups taking advantage of easily duped social media.

One clear message from the last election is that voters want a clean break from the heavy-handed regulatory overreach of the Obama administration. Congress intends to overturn as much Obama administration overreach as possible, and it’s in that context that Congress overturned the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) pending privacy regulation. But there’s been a lot of confusion, so let’s explain.

Originally, consumer internet privacy was handled by the federal agency specifically designed and empowered to protect consumers: the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC has legislative authority and decades of agency expertise in consumer protection, including privacy protection.

That is, until the FCC under then-Chairman Tom Wheeler usurped the FTC’s authority as part of its ideological campaign to heavily regulate the internet.

One of Wheeler’s first moves was to hire Gigi Sohn, who has spent the better part of her career crusading for the de facto nationalization of broadband providers. Gigi seems to see ISPs as the root of all evil in the communications marketplace, and once Wheeler hired Sohn as his special policy advisor, the regulations came fast, furious and unhinged from empirical data or marketplace considerations.

As part of their crusade, Wheeler and Sohn went far beyond the net neutrality demands of most activist groups and completely reversed previous FCC policy by reclassifying broadband under the same regulations governing the old analog phone networks, which themselves barely exist anymore.

This ill-advised move had the effect of calling into question much of the FTC’s ability to enforce its privacy regime over broadband providers. So the FCC, not Congress, was responsible for disruptions in federal privacy protections.

Then the FCC doubled down on its mistakes by creating its own new, poorly designed privacy regulations that were inconsistent and uncoordinated with existing FTC rules and practices. And the FCC regulations focused on ISPs rather than on edge providers—i.e., companies that people interact with directly, such as Facebook—even though edge providers gather far more personal data than do ISPs. This, of course, was consistent with Wheeler’s and Sohn’s view that ISPs are somehow inherently culpable for every imagined or perceived problem in the communications industry.

The FCC’s privacy regulations also departed completely from long-established “opt-out” privacy expectations and instead adopted an onerous “opt-in” standard, which would completely preclude innovation and experimentation in making advertising more tailored and personalized for consumers.

This is why groups like IPI urged both Congress and the FCC itself to throw out the Wheeler privacy regulations, which Congress did.

Importantly, as the Competitive Enterprise Institute has pointed out, there remain numerous and overlapping federal and state privacy protections for consumers. And, of course, the FCC regulations were pending—they had not yet even come into effect themselves. How does it feel to have been lied to?

As a participant on the internet, your privacy is at no greater risk as a result of Congress’ actions. But freedom and innovation were at risk, because of out-of-control, power-grabbing agencies like the FCC under Wheeler. Thankfully now we’re on the path to restoring sanity in internet regulation.

A Syrian Solution

By Craig Andresen – Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

The current situation in Syria, has gone from bad to worse this week, as a chemical syr-1a.jpg?width=217weapons attack left dozens dead, and dozens more critically injured in a northern Syrian community, the Idlib province described as a rebel enclave.

It has been described as the worst chemical attack in the war-torn country in years, but the real question is…who did it?

Therein, lies the problem.

Internationally, the UK, U.S., France and the U.N. are blaming Syria’s president, Bashar al Assad, while Russia and Putin are laying the blame on the Syrian Rebels. Al Assad says he and his military had nothing to do with it, and the rebels have even tried to blame the U.N. for the situation that led to it.

The following recent article revealed that recent reports, and others along the same lines, ‘raise serious questions about what Rice was doing with the unmasked identifiable information she obtained access to,’ even though nothing revealed so far indicates that Rice broke the law because she had the authority to request unmasking under certain circumstances where there was an ‘intelligence need in the interest of national security for such information,’ but given ‘Rice’s closeness to Obama and concern for preserving his legacy, politics, not national security, was more likely her primary motive.’ 

It also revealed that ‘Michael Doran, former National Security Council senior director,’ told the Daily Caller that ‘somebody blew a hole in the wall between national security secrets and partisan politics’ because this ‘was a stream of information that was supposed to be hermetically sealed from politics and the Obama administration found a way to blow a hole in that wall.’

Additionally, it revealed that it is a ‘threat to our electoral democracy,’ if a party in power is able to ‘use the nation’s intelligence apparatus to do opposition research on the party out of power’ and that this is what Rice appears to have done, perhaps to ‘protect her boss's legacy from being undermined by the new Trump administration,’ but, of course, Rice denies all of this.

Susan Rice's Unraveling Web of Lies: ‘Obama's attack on our democracy becomes too clear to ignore’!-Posted on Front Page Magazine-By Joseph Klein-On April 5, 2017:

Former President Barack Obama’s national security adviser Susan Rice is once again in the news, embroiled in a growing scandal. Bloomberg News has reported this week that Rice requested or directed the unmasking of the identities of U.S. persons in raw intelligence reports, who were involved with the Trump transition team. The communications of these individuals were apparently collected incidentally during the course of electronic monitoring of communications involving foreign officials of interest. Normally, Americans’ identities are masked, with generic references such as the title "U.S. Person One."   

According to Eli Lake’s Bloomberg report, “The intelligence reports were summaries of monitored conversations -- primarily between foreign officials discussing the Trump transition, but also in some cases direct contact between members of the Trump team and monitored foreign officials. One U.S. official familiar with the reports said they contained valuable political information on the Trump transition such as whom the Trump team was meeting, the views of Trump associates on foreign policy matters and plans for the incoming administration.”

Daily Caller has reported that Rice “ordered U.S. spy agencies to produce ‘detailed spreadsheets’ of legal phone calls involving Donald Trump and his aides when he was running for president,” citing former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova as a source.

Circa has reported that Rice’s snooping actually preceded the election:  “Susan Rice accessed numerous intelligence reports during Obama's last seven months in office that contained National Security Agency intercepts involving Donald Trump and his associates.”

It also appears that the monitoring at issue had little if anything to do with the investigation of Russian interference in the presidential election. 

These reports, and others along the same lines, raise serious questions about what Rice was doing with the unmasked identifiable information she obtained access to, even though nothing revealed so far indicates that Rice broke the law. She had the authority to request unmasking under certain circumstances where there was an intelligence need in the interest of national security for such information. But given Rice’s closeness to Obama and concern for preserving his legacy, politics, not national security, was more likely her primary motive. 

Michael Doran, former National Security Council senior director, told the Daily Caller that “somebody blew a hole in the wall between national security secrets and partisan politics.” This “was a stream of information that was supposed to be hermetically sealed from politics and the Obama administration found a way to blow a hole in that wall,” he said.

It is a threat to our electoral democracy if a party in power is able to use the nation’s intelligence apparatus to do opposition research on the party out of power. This is what Rice appears to have done, perhaps to protect her boss's legacy from being undermined by the new Trump administration. Rice denies all of this, of course.

“The allegation is that somehow, Obama administration officials utilized intelligence for political purposes,” Rice told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell. “That’s absolutely false.”  It is what Rice did not expressly deny that is revealing. She did not deny making any unmasking requests, which she claimed would not be unusual in and of themselves. She said, however, that “I don’t have a particular recollection of doing that more frequently after the election.” Then she changed the focus from unmasking to leaking. “I leaked nothing to nobody,” she declared. But she ducked the question of whether she would agree to testify under oath.

The problem is that Susan Rice cannot be trusted. Just look at her track record. During a PBS interview last month, Rice denied any knowledge as to whether Trump transition officials may have been swept up in surveillance of foreigners at the end of the Obama administration. “I know nothing about this,” Rice told Judy Woodruff. She also questioned the validity of a New York Times report that Obama administration officials widely disseminated information within the government, during the final days of the Obama administration, about what they knew regarding intelligence that the Russians had interfered in the election last year and that there may have been a connection with Trump campaign officials.

And who could forget Rice’s infamous appearances on five Sunday TV talk shows in 2012 falsely blaming a “hateful” Internet video for the Benghazi terrorist attack? She repeatedly mouthed the Obama campaign talking points on the anti-Muslim video days after intelligence had established the terrorist connection to the Benghazi attack.

Now Rice is again on TV, denying any impropriety with respect to unmasking requests. Even if she did not leak the information she received regarding Trump campaign or transition officials herself, however, who is to say that she did not share the sensitive information with someone like her deputy Ben Rhodes, who could have done the leaking for her? 

That would be the same Ben Rhodes who boasted about creating “an echo chamber” in the press to sell the Obama administration’s Iran nuclear deal.

Here is what we know so far from multiple sources. There was electronic surveillance of foreign officials' communications, during which the communications of Trump associates were incidentally collected. The identities of at least some Trump associates were unmasked, in part at Susan Rice’s request or direction. During the final days of the Obama presidency, Obama administration officials widely disseminated information across government agencies regarding intelligence purportedly linking Trump officials to Russian contacts. Some of that information has been leaked to the press, most notably leaked transcripts of former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s communications with Russia’s ambassador to the United States. 

The Washington Beacon has reported, citing multiple sources, that Ben Rhodes was part of “a small task force of Obama loyalists who deluged media outlets with stories aimed at eroding Flynn's credibility.” Rhodes and his buddies apparently resorted to his echo chamber tactics in order to discredit Flynn, an opponent of the Iran nuclear deal that Rhodes so strongly believed in. The purpose, according to the Washington Beacon report, was presumably “to handicap the Trump administration's efforts to disclose secret details of the nuclear deal with Iran that had been long hidden by the Obama administration.” While Ben Rhodes’ involvement in the actual leaking of the Flynn transcript has not been definitively established, we do know that Rhodes had no problem with the exposure of Flynn’s and other Trump officials' Russian contacts after the leaks happened. In a tweet on March 2nd, Rice’s White House deputy Rhodes wrote: “Flynn, Kushner, Manafort, Page, Sessions all meet with Russians pre-inauguration. Why? And why go to such lengths to conceal these contacts?”

Where the trail will ultimately lead remains to be seen. Rice will most likely have to testify under oath or plead the fifth, as other Obama administration officials have done. It is not too soon to begin asking, what did Barack Obama know and when did he know it?

The Dems’ Political Area 51: ‘Conspiracy theories abound while media ignore the real story’!-Posted on Front Page Magazine-By Bruce Thornton-On April 5, 2017:

The Democrats and some Republican NeverTrump bitter-enders are still so addled by losing the election that they have lost themselves in a political Area 51. Like peddlers of space-alien autopsies and earthling abductions, they are spinning preposterous conspiracy theories straight out of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, while the real story––the illegal leaks of classified intelligence involving American citizens––is ignored.

We all know the lurid scenario: Vladimir Putin, filled with hatred of Hillary for criticizing and sanctioning him for his invasions of his neighbors’ territories, “hacked” the election in order to tilt the outcome to Donald Trump. Trump, after all, said some vaguely nice things about Vlad during the campaign, and most likely has secret dodgy business interests in Russia. Several of Trump’s friends probably do too, and so they cooperated with Russian intelligence, its WikiLeaks minions, and its propaganda rag Russia Today to smear Hillary and the Democrats. And, don’t forget, it’s likely Vlad has some embarrassing untoward info on Trump he can use to blackmail the president. QED.

This conspiracy theory is preposterous, and the media’s and Dems’ continued use of the phrase “hacked the election,” as if voting machines were meddled with, is rank propaganda and confirms the continuing absence of real evidence. Of course Russia tried to influence the election, as it has tried to influence every American election since the 1930s. And we have tried, and continue to try, to influence elections in other countries all over the world. Have the Dems forgotten how Obama in 2015 interfered in Israel’s elections by spending $350 on “campaign infrastructure” to be used against Benjamin Netanyahu? As for Americans colluding with Russia during an election, where was all this high dudgeon when in 1983 Ted Kennedy offered Soviet premier Yuri Andropov a quid pro quo? As Forbes reports of the deal, “Kennedy would lend Andropov a hand in dealing with President Reagan. In return, the Soviet leader would lend the Democratic Party a hand in challenging Reagan in the 1984 presidential election.” Kennedy also offered to visit Russia and help them with access to the American media.

This typical Trumpophobic hypocrisy is also evident in the amnesia about who was really getting chummy with Putin––Obama and Hillary. Taking missile-defense installations out of Poland and the Czech Republic; working on a “reset” of relations that had soured because of Russian territorial theft in Georgia and Moldova; Obama in 2012 asking Russian president Dmitri Medvedev to assure Vlad of his “flexibility” after the election––all comprise evidence of Obama’s appeasement more solid than the innuendo and rumor supposedly proving Trump colluded with Vlad. 

And let’s not forget Hillary’s foundation, which in exchange for $2.35 in million in contributions, helped a Russian uranium-mining company, Rosatom, execute a take-over of “uranium mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West,” the New York Times reported, making “Rosatom one of the world’s largest uranium producers” and bringing “Mr. Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain.” Where were the five-alarm bells over allowing a geopolitical rival to gain such a critical weapons advantage?

As for the hacking of the DNC computers, so what? Was any of the embarrassing information false? Was it Trump’s fault that the DNC was so sloppy and careless with cyber security, or so catty and snarky about their fellow Dems? If we ask cui bono, Bernie Sanders and his fans benefitted as much as Trump, since the leaks proved their contention that a corrupt Democrat establishment was wiring the nomination for Hillary with the collusion of the media. 

And does anybody really think that voters in some counties in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania changed their vote only because they learned of DNC ineptitude and corruption? Doesn’t Occam’s Razor suggest a simpler reason for Hillary’s loss? Like Obama’s failed domestic and foreign policies; Hillary’s total lack of likability, achievement, and political skill; a corrupt media openly rooting for one side; political correctness run amok and trying to enforce an illiberal ideology; and the arrogant hypocrisy of progressives whose hearts bleed for the “oppressed” even as they contemptuously ignore the impact of their policies on the lives and beliefs of the struggling working class whose votes put Trump over the finish line.

Meanwhile, the real scandal is the politicization of intelligence by those who had access to it, and then leaked it to the media in order to damage Trump’s presidential campaign and cripple his fledgling administration. Now we are hearing from an anonymous source that a highly placed intelligence official leaked the names of citizens who were linked to Trump and his campaign, and who had been surveilled “incidentally” and then their identities “unmasked.” A former Obama Defense Department functionary and Hillary campaign advisor admitted on MSNBC that she counseled her former colleagues to gather and distribute classified information on Trump during the transition. And why did Obama’s Tom Hagen, AG Loretta Lynch, a few days before Trump took office let the NSA distribute “raw signals intelligence information” to 16 other intelligence agencies? How does multiplying the number of potential leakers serve the national security?

Every American should want to get to the bottom of this serial contempt for the law and violation of citizen rights. We need to find out those responsible, and if they are found guilty, subject them to the penalties prescribed by law in order to send the message that such violations of public trust and fealty to the Constitution will not be tolerated.

That’s what House Representative Devin Nunes, Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, is trying to do, only to be demonized by the Dems and NeverTrump Republicans who are demanding his resignation as chair of the committee. Why? Because Nunes briefed Trump before the minority members of his committee. Dems who spent eight years enabling Obama’s hijacking of the powers of Congress are suddenly passionate about its superficial prerogatives.

And what have Democrats done to deserve such consideration? They have declared a war of “resistance” against Trump, pandered night and day to their radical base, obstructed and undermined the president at every possible opportunity, and crudely and childishly insulted and mocked him. Progressive judges have blocked his completely Constitutional executive orders on immigration out of irrational spite, and Dem-friendly intelligence officials are likely behind the leaks of his phone conversations with the presidents of Australia and Mexico, as well as the classified information that led to Mike Flynn’s resignation as national security advisor. But Republicans are supposed to trust them and abide by the professional “protocols” and “courtesies” that the Dems serially violate. Isn’t this the same cringing acceptance of a double standard that turned so many voters against the party establishment?

I get why the Dems are squealing. It’s their standard tactic of projecting their sins onto others, and forcing Republicans to play by a different set of rules that Democrats never follow themselves. And given the felonious carelessness of their standard-bearer Hillary, who while Secretary of State grossly violated her responsibility to protect classified information and ran a pay-for-play Foundation, their moralizing bluster about Trump’s alleged ties to Russia is not only shameless, but surreal.

As for us ordinary citizens, we need to stop listening to the hysteria and misdirection, and start demanding that the leakers be investigated, identified, and if found guilty, punished. Let’s restore accountability and affirm one of the most important principles of constitutional government––no one is above the law.

The following recent article revealed that in one of the most memorable moments of American history, Senator Howard Baker (R-Tennessee) asked his famous question regarding the Watergate Scandal engulfing the Nixon Administration: ‘What did the president know and when did he know it?’ and that, clearly, Baker’s question cut to the heart of the matter because it was the question that all Americans wanted to know: Did their president order, or even approve of illegal activity?

It also revealed that, amazingly, however, the ‘American media is now generally quite uninterested in asking a similar question today,’ a question related to the revelation that President Obama’s national security advisor, Susan Rice, asked for the ‘unmasking’ of members of the Trump Transition Team who were surveilled by U.S. government intelligence and then that ‘intelligence’ material just happened to later wind up in the ‘possession of media unfriendly to President Trump.’

Additionally, it revealed that, instead of exercising the natural curiosity that is Journalism 101, the mainstream (liberal) media have not asked the question that is ‘the elephant in the room’: ‘What role, if any, did President Obama play’ in the decision to ‘unmask’ Trump aides who engaged in conversations with foreigners during the time ‘between Trump’s election as president in November 2016 and his taking the oath of office on January 20, 2017?’ Surprised?-You Decide:

The following recent article revealed that, as was noted yesterday, former National Security Advisor Susan Rice was the person responsible for ‘unmasking’ the identities of individuals connected to Donald Trump’s campaign caught up in intelligence surveillance and that this bombshell should have turned the mainstream media’s attention back to questions of ‘domestic political meddling by Barack Obama and his henchmen,’ but, instead, the MSM brushed it aside as insignificant and instead sought to double down on its narrative of a ‘Trump-Russian collusion scandal.’

It also revealed that the ‘Washington Post and New York Times’ are leading the rest of the Leftmedia on the distraction campaign by allegedly Trumpeting a ‘secret meeting between Blackwater founder and Trump supporter Erik Prince and a Russian with Kremlin ties in the United Arab Emirates,’ the Post and Times want to redirect Americans' attention away from the growing ‘genuine scandal of Rice’s political machinations.’ Surprised?-You Decide:

The following recent article revealed that when The Patriot Post was launched 20 years ago, the Internet was a new and untested information medium, but it estimated then that publishing online would enable them to reach the greatest number of people for the lowest cost because they knew that they could bypass all the limitations and expenses of traditional print publications, particularly the time it took to put timely news, policy and opinion in front of their readers and, as it turned out, the Web was a good medium, and today, by the grace of God, they are among the three oldest online publications.

It also revealed that chief among their motivations for launching The Patriot Post was to ‘dislodge the mainstream media’s monopolistic stranglehold on public opinion’ because allegedly in the two decades prior to their launch, the MSM had metastasized into what they coined the Leftmedia,’ little more than a propaganda network for statist leftists and their Democrat Party machine.’

Additionally, it revealed that ‘our Founders intended the First Amendment’s assurance of freedom of speech and of the press’ to be among the ‘most significant checks on centralized government power,’ but allegedly by the late 20th century, the ‘press had become the primary empowering agent of the central government’s exponential (and extra-constitutional) growth’ and that, from day one back in 1996, The Patriot Post has eviscerated the ‘Leftmedia’s unrelenting prejudice,’ and its underlying motivation to ‘dumb-down public opinion in order to advance leftist social, cultural and political agendas.’ Surprised?-You Decide:

The following recent article revealed that fewer Democrats are proud to be Americans today and, apparently, knowing that at least they're free just isn't enough anymore in the Trump-era, along with revealing that a new polling from Gallup shows that the number has dropped to a new low, because allegedly just 67 percent say they're ‘extremely’ or ‘very’ proud to be an American, which is allegedly ‘down 11 percentage points from a year ago.’

It also revealed that ‘national pride on the left side of the aisle has never been this bad’ and that the Gallup reports that the ‘numbers fell below the previous low set in January 2007,’ in other words, when President Bush was in the White House and American bombs were falling in the Middle East, ‘Democrats were still more proud to be an American than today.’ Surprised?-You Decide:

The following recent article revealed that Barack Obama may have left office on Jan. 20, but he didn’t go far, only two miles to the Kalorama neighborhood of northwest Washington, D.C., where his family lives with former senior adviser ‘Valerie Jarrett,’ who moved into his 8,200-square-foot $5.3 million mansion and that there, she reportedly convinced him to lead the opposition to his successor, Donald Trump, so, instead of stepping out of the picture, as have most former presidents, ‘Obama has set up a sort of shadow government to protect his legacy and undermine President Trump.’

It also revealed that former U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., is now allegedly ‘warning American Christians to come up with their own plan to counter Barack and Michelle Obama’s subversion.’ Surprised?-You Decide:

{rickwells.us} ~ President Trump won’t be drawing any of the internationally familiar liar-nObama pink lipstick lines in the sand and no foreign adversary doubts he means what he says... They can think or say what they will about the President’s style and penchant for straight talk. It, along with his deal making abilities, will serve him well when it comes to handling international crises. Other nations assumed first that the bicycle-helmet wearing Steve Urkel wannabe who squatted in our White House prior to January 20th was bluffing. That is not a belief that is associated with President Trump. If he draws a line in the sand, it’s going to be bright red and meant to be observed. President Trump warned on Sunday that if China doesn’t gain control of their rogue puppet in North Korea, the US will take appropriate action, unilaterally if necessary, to eliminate the North Korean threat...

{pjmedia.com} ~ Holy smoking gun, Batman! Once you wave away all the smoke created by our dishonest media, the story of this past week was pretty simple. The Trump-Russia-Conspiracy narrative is falling apart... The liar-nObama-Spied-on-his-Political-Opposition narrative is coming together. The media has given credence to Democrat Congressman Adam Schiff's hysterical charges about how the Republican chair of the committee, Devin Nunes, made his latest discoveries. But Schiff is a dishonest McCarthyite, spewing insinuations and accusations without any proof to back them up. Nunes, on the other hand, has obviously gotten hold of solid intel showing that liar-nObama spied on Trump and his people, pretty much as the president tweeted back on March 4. The willing Democrat executioners of truth — i.e. the news staffs at ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and the New York Times — give equal weight to the statements of both men, making it seem like the House Intelligence Committee has simply descended into partisan bickering. But that's a lie. Nunes has found something. Schiff is smearing him and the president. Those two actions do not deserve the same sort of coverage... https://pjmedia.com/andrewklavan/2017/04/02/obama-spied-media-lied/

Fox News Exposes 4 MILLION Fraudulent Votes, Trail Leads STRAIGHT To liar-nObama
{angrypatriotmovement.com} ~ Voter fraud is a serious problem in our country, and, thanks to liar-nObama, it was running rampant in last year’s election. Of course, the liberal media have nothing to say about this... It was up to Fox News and their guest, J. Christian Adams, to get to the bottom of this. In an interview on Friday, Adams stated, “Dead people are voting, and it’s something the liar-nObama administration does not want to do anything about. They must like it. They must like who they are voting for … Now, we have four million, four million, Steve — ineligible and dead voters on American voter rolls according to the Pew Charitable Trust!” Adams specializes in filing lawsuits against fraudulent voters. Last year alone, he filed six suits in Philadelphia and Florida — states where it’s a known FACT that their voter rolls are compromised...

After Inviting Muslims in,
Swedish Feminists Are Pushed Out

{thenewamerican.com} ~ It certainly is poetic — whether you think it’s justice or not depends on your point of view. But after advocating an open-borders policy and demeaning its opponents as “racists,” some Swedish feminists are now leaving... migrant-heavy areas of their nation that they say are controlled by Islamic fundamentalists. This is all the more ironic considering how aggressively anti-Western some of these feminists have been in their advocacy of Third World migration. Just consider Social Democrat politician Mona Sahlin. Aside from theorizing that indigenous Swedes are envious of Muslims because the latter have a culture and Swedes supposedly don’t, she also reveled in the destruction of that native culture that never existed, stating in 2001 that “the Swedes must be integrated into the new Sweden; the old Sweden is never coming back.” One of Sahlin’s former Social Democrat colleagues may be learning how true this is — the hard way. Nalin Pekgul, once a minister of parliament (MP), has lived in Stockholm suburb of Tensta for 30 years. Now, though, she avoids its city center because she no longer feels safe there, owing to harassment by Muslim men, according to Swedish broadcaster SVT...

How the U.S. can prepare for
the coming Gaza war

by Daniel Shapiro
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ The next conflict in the tragic Gaza saga is around the corner. Hamas leaders speak openly of their commitment to armed struggle against Israel. The director of Israel's Shin Bet describes a near-constant battle to foil Hamas terrorist attacks in the West Bank, any one of which, if successful, could be the match that reignites the Gaza fire.

While no effort should be spared to prevent violence, we should not be caught flat-footed when it starts. As U.S. ambassador to Israel, I took part in the ceasefire negotiations that ended both the 2012 and 2014 conflicts. These experiences offer lessons on how to contain and stop the violence when it starts, and to prevent it from beginning anew.

To begin, though, let's be clear about where the blame for Gaza's suffering lies. Since Hamas seized control of the territory in 2007, following Israel's full withdrawal in 2005, it has devoted its resources and ingenuity not to improving conditions for Gaza residents, but to smuggling weapons, firing rockets, building tunnels and kidnapping Israelis. At the urging of the United States and the international community, Israel has progressively loosened economic restrictions on Gaza and permitted significant humanitarian assistance to enter. But periodically, Hamas's acts of aggression and terror spark conflict, setting back any gains.

The next conflict will likely start the same way. In that moment, there should be no expression of sympathy for the aggressors, a terrorist organization which openly calls for Israel's destruction through armed conflict, and which maintains links to other regional extremists like Iran and Islamic State.

There should, however, be deep concern for those caught in the crossfire between Hamas, which fights behind civilian human shields, and the Israel Defense Forces. Hundreds of Palestinian civilians, including many children, were killed in the fighting in 2014. Israel lost some 70 soldiers, and millions of Israeli civilians lived in the shadow of rockets aimed at their homes, schools and businesses.

So here are several lessons, drawn from my experience, for how the U.S. should approach renewed fighting in Gaza.

First, the United States should offer strong and vocal public support for Israel.

Obviously, the details of how a conflict unfolds matter. But a likely scenario is that a Hamas strike or escalation will be the trigger. A cardinal principle of U.S. support for Israel has been standing up for Israel's right of self-defense. At the same time, the public support can be accompanied by private diplomacy aimed at encouraging Israel to redouble its efforts to avoid civilian casualties, and to avoid the most extreme operations, like a ground invasion.

President Barack liar-nObama struck this balance well in 2012, with public statements of support and ongoing private communication with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In 2014, our messages were less consistent as the conflict dragged on and the casualty toll mounted. Even so, senior U.S. military officers both praised Israeli measures to minimize civilian casualties and advised their IDF counterparts of the importance of redoubling such efforts.

Second, when it comes to ceasefire negotiations, there is no substitute for Egypt playing the leading role.

Only the Egyptians, with their peace treaty with Israel and their unique intelligence channels with Hamas, have the relationships and standing with both sides to act effectively as a mediator.

This was true when the Muslim Brotherhood ruled Cairo in 2012, and when its nemesis, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, took power in 2014. The U.S. should provide support, but not seek to lead. Arguably, the United States tried to do too much in 2014, and we found ourselves awkwardly inserted between our democratic ally and a terrorist organization (via Turkish and Qatari proxies), whose word we could neither trust nor vouch for.

Egypt's modestly improving relations with Hamas are actually a positive indicator for conflict containment. While Egypt knows how to squeeze Hamas, Hamas also has more to lose by alienating the government that controls much of its freedom of movement.

Third, the U.S. should be prepared to maintain assistance to Israel's successful missile defense programs.

The Iron Dome system, which has received over $1.3 billion in U.S. investment, has been a key factor in containing conflicts, giving Israeli leaders time and flexibility in determining how to respond.

In 2014, Iron Dome intercepted over 700 rockets that were heading for populated areas. If even one of them had landed and caused significant casualties, Israeli leaders would have faced irresistible public pressure to conduct a full ground invasion of Gaza. In this way, Iron Dome saved both Palestinian and Israeli lives. As in 2014, if Israel needs emergency resupply assistance for Iron Dome, the administration and Congress should rush to provide it.

Fourth, the United States should lead an international effort, working with Israel and Egypt, to rush humanitarian assistance to Gaza during any conflict.

Don't wait for the end of the fighting. In the 2014 conflict, Israel permitted the continued flow of consumer goods and humanitarian supplies to Gaza. It also supplied electricity to Gaza even as Hamas fired rockets at the power plant that was providing that electricity. At the same time, Israeli airstrikes damaged or destroyed many homes, public facilities and infrastructure. Extensive humanitarian assistance was required to keep people fed and housed, and to prevent outbreaks of disease. IDF officials with responsibility for the humanitarian situation turned to the U.S. Agency for International Development to coordinate the assistance effort; the United States should be prepared to lead again.

Finally, the United States should advocate massive rehabilitation in exchange for Hamas's complete disarmament.

This is the only arrangement that can relieve Gaza's suffering and prevent the next conflict.

Following the 2014 conflict, the U.N. Security Council considered, but did not pass, a resolution locking in this trade-off. It can and should be resurrected. For a decade, Hamas has prioritized its ability to conduct damaging but ultimately fruitless wars against Israel over Palestinians' ability to improve their lives. But the means to reverse this dynamic exist. International donors, weary of an endless cycle of conflict and reconstruction, could be motivated to take part in an extensive program of rehabilitation of Gaza's housing and infrastructure, coupled with the removal of Hamas's arsenal, the destruction of attack tunnels, and a verification regime to prevent rearming.

Creative solutions exist -- including the construction of an offshore island with a seaport and airport -- to permit the importation of the goods Gaza needs to rebuild, while ensuring that the smuggling of weapons does not resume. The Palestinian Authority, supported by Israel and Egypt, must embrace a role as monitor and guarantor of Gaza's border crossings, a first step toward supplanting Hamas for control of the entire territory.

Remember that any conflict poses a real threat to the Palestinian Authority, which would, once again, be tasked with helping prevent passions in the West Bank from boiling over, and would thus be accused of collaborating with Israel. A prolonged Gaza conflict has always been one scenario that could plausibly lead to the collapse of the Palestinian Authority -- and the hope of a two-state solution.

The United States probably cannot stop another round of conflict in Gaza, with all the suffering that Palestinians and Israelis will endure. But we can and should be prepared to make every effort to contain and end it.

{thenewamerican.com} ~ Pro-family groups hoping the United Nations would quit pushing homosexuality and gender confusion on children under new UN Secretary-General António Guterres are going to be very disappointed... Not only has the globalist institution not reined in its activism on behalf of the “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender” (LGBT) agenda, the UN's new LGBT czar is using taxpayer resources to push the indoctrination into schools worldwide — and especially on young children. Simultaneously, the UN is helping to wage a global war on religious liberty, much of it under the guise of protecting LGBT activists from “stigma” and “discrimination.” Critics, though, are fighting back. Most recently, the newly appointed UN LGBT czar, homosexual activist Vitit Muntarbhorn of Thailand, an international "human rights expert" and professor of law at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, visited Argentina to praise its government's new laws purporting to create homosexual “marriage” and allowing individuals to officially “choose” their legal gender without having "gender reassignment surgery" first... https://www.thenewamerican.com/culture/faith-and-morals/item/25742-un-pushing-homosexuality-gender-confusion-on-children?utm_source=iContactPro&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TNA+Top+Daily+Headlines

{
jewishworldreview.com} ~ The pressure the Trump administration is exerting on Israel to constrain the rights of Jews to property in Judea and Samaria is the direct consequence of the refusal of the American foreign policy establishment to reckon with the reality that Israelis have internalized

During Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House in February, the premier was reportedly taken by surprise when Trump gently prodded – ahead of their meeting – for Israel to “hold back on settlements for a little bit.”

Since their meeting, Trump’s prod that Israel curtail the property rights of Jews in Judea and Samaria has been the central issue Trump’s chief negotiator Jason Greenblatt has discussed with Netanyahu and his representatives.

From the moment Netanyahu returned from Washington, his government ministers have been asking him to brief them on his discussions with Trump. He has refused. But on Thursday, Netanyahu finally agreed to update his security cabinet.

His agreement is long past due. It is vital for Netanyahu to tell his cabinet ministers what is happening in his conversations with the Americans about Judea and Samaria. It is imperative that the cabinet determine a clear response to Trump’s apparent demand for a full or partial freeze on Jewish property rights in Judea and Samaria.

Such an agreed response is urgent because Trump’s position is antithetical to the position of the vast majority of Israelis. If the government caters to Trump’s demands it will breach the trust of the public that elected it.

This state of affairs was brought home this week with the publication of a new survey of public opinion regarding the Palestinian conflict with Israel. The survey was carried out among adult Israeli Jews by veteran Israeli pollster Mina Tzemach for the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.

The results of the poll are straightforward. Since Israel’s 2005 withdrawal from Gaza, Israeli support for territorial concessions to the Palestinians has collapsed. Whereas in 2005, 59% of Israelis supported the establishment of a Palestinian state in Gaza, Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria in exchange for peace, today a mere 29% of Israelis support such a policy.

And levels of Israeli opposition to territorial giveaways only grow when the specifics of withdrawal are considered.

Seventy-seven percent of Israelis oppose full withdrawal from Judea and Samaria in the framework of a peace deal. Sixty-four percent oppose a pullout under which Israel would trade sovereignty over the so-called “settlement blocs” for sovereignty over lands inside of the 1949 armistice lines.

Fifty-seven percent of the public opposes an Israeli withdrawal from everything outside the settlement blocs even without such a trade.

The dramatic drop in Israeli support for the establishment of a Palestinian state over the past 12 years has nothing to do with ideology. The Israeli public has not turned its back on the Left’s ideological vision of two-states west of the Jordan River because it has adopted the ideological convictions of the religious Zionist movement.

The Israeli public has abandoned its support for the two-state paradigm because it believes that Israel’s past moves to implement it have weakened the country and that any attempt in the future to implement it will imperil the country.

This conviction is revealed by the fact that 76% of Israeli Jews want Israel to permanently retain sole responsibility for security in all of Judea and Samaria.

Eighty-eight percent say that Israel must permanently control the territory bordering Ben-Gurion Airport. Eighty-one percent insist that Israel must permanently control the land that bordering the Tel-Aviv-Jerusalem highway Route 443.

Eighty-one percent of Israelis say that Israel must control the Jordan Valley in perpetuity. Fifty-five percent say that Israel cannot defend itself without permanently controlling the Jordan Valley. Sixty-nine percent of Israelis reject the notion that Israel can subcontract its national security to foreign powers that would deploy forces to the Jordan Valley in the framework of a peace deal.

In other words, Trump’s desire to mediate a deal between Israel and the PLO places him in conflict with anywhere between 60 and 85% of the Israeli public.

Throughout the US presidential race, Trump said repeatedly that his mastery of the art of the deal would enable him to succeed where his predecessors failed. His experience as a negotiator in the business world, he said, makes him more capable of mediating a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians than any of his predecessors.

It is possible that Trump is right about his relative advantage over his predecessors. But how well or poorly he negotiates is completely beside the point.

Presidents liar-Clinton, Bush and liar-nObama didn’t fail to bring peace between Israel and the Palestinians because they were bad negotiators. They failed because there is no deal to be had. This reality is what informs the Israeli public.

The Israeli public rejects the two-state model that is now informing Trump, because it has become convinced that Israel’s partner in a hypothetical deal – the PLO – has no intention of ever making a deal with Israel.

The people of Israel has come to realize that the PLO demands Israeli concessions – like a freeze on Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria – not because it wants to make peace, but because it wants to weaken Israel.

The reality that informs the position of the Israeli public has been borne out by every PLO action and position since July 2000, when the PLO rejected peace and Palestinian statehood and opted instead to initiate a terrorist war against Israeli society and launch a campaign to delegitimize Israel’s right to exist.

In contrast to the Israeli public, the American foreign policy establishment never accepted the obvious meaning of Yasser Arafat’s rejection of then-Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak’s peace offer at Camp David in July 2000, and his subsequent initiation of an all-out war of terrorism against Israel.

The Americans responsible for determining US Middle Eastern policy, along with the American Jewish community, never acknowledged the significance of the Palestinians’ refusal to accept sovereign responsibility over Gaza after Israel withdrew from the area in 2005.

They never accepted the obvious meaning of Hamas’s victory in the Palestinian elections in 2006 or the post-Israeli withdrawal transformation of Gaza into a hub of global jihad and a launching pad for continuous aggression against Israel.

Unlike the Israeli public, the Americans closed their eyes to the significance of Mahmoud Abbas’s campaign to delegitimize Israel’s right to exist, to the PA’s refusal to accept Israel’s right to exist, to the PA’s finance of terrorism, and its indoctrination of Palestinian society to support and work toward the destruction of Israel.

This week, the willful blindness of the American foreign policy establishment and the American Jewish establishment to the reality that informs the position of the Israeli public was on display at AIPAC’s policy conference. Although the conference was held under the banner, “Many Voices, One Mission,” precious few voices were heard that reflected the view of the overwhelming majority of Israelis.

The view of the Israeli public that the two-state policy is entirely divorced from reality because there is no one on the Palestinian side who is interested in living at peace with a Jewish state, and that further Israeli concessions to the PLO endanger the Jewish state, was virtually ignored, particularly by the American speakers.

No senior American policy-maker explained that given the Palestinians’ commitment to the destruction of Israel, any policy that requires Israel to make territorial and other concessions is an anti-Israel policy – in substance if not in intent.

The reason the position of the majority of the Israeli public was ignored by the largest pro-Israel lobbying organization in America is that no senior American policy-maker on either side of the partisan aisle is willing to allow the reality that informs the Israeli public to influence its thinking. Although an ideological chasm separates Martin Indyk – John hanoi-Kerry’s chief negotiator – from Elliott Abrams – George Bush’s point man on Israel – the substance of their views of the goal of US policy-making toward Israel and the Palestinians is largely the same. They both believe that Israel should surrender the vast majority of Judea and Samaria to the PLO.

And this again brings us to Israel and the security cabinet meeting on Thursday evening.

Ahead of the meeting, Netanyahu said that he intended ask his ministers to approve his plan to establish a new town in Judea and Samaria for the residents of the recently destroyed community of Amona.

There is no doubt that from a political perspective, and indeed from a humanitarian perspective, Netanyahu’s commitment to establishing a new community for the former residents of Amona is a positive development. But the question of whether or not Israel should build a new community in Judea and Samaria is not the main issue. Indeed, the issue of Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria has never been the main issue.

The pressure the Trump administration is exerting on Israel to constrain the rights of Jews to property in Judea and Samaria is the direct consequence of the refusal of the American foreign policy establishment to reckon with the reality that Israelis have internalized.

The Israeli public today recognizes that there is no deal to be had. The Palestinians will never make peace with Israel, because they remain committed to its destruction.

It doesn’t matter how effective the Americans are at negotiations. It doesn’t matter how many concessions they are able to extract from Israel in their endless attempts to coddle the Palestinians and convince them to negotiate. Indeed, the Americans’ collective refusal to come to terms with the reality that guides the Israeli public indicates that regardless of what their actual feelings toward Israel may be, in demanding Israeli concessions to the PLO, the Americans are implementing a policy that is stridently anti-Israel.

Under the circumstances, Netanyahu’s task, and that of his ministers, is not to convince the new administration to respect the legal rights to property of Jews in Judea and Samaria. Their duty is to represent and advance the interests and positions of the public that elected them.

Netanyahu and his ministers must make clear to Trump and his advisers that there is no point in trying to reach a deal with the PLO. Trump’s predecessors’ failure to reach an accord had nothing to do with their failure to master the art of the deal. They failed because there is no one on the Palestinian side who is interested in making a deal.

Moreover, Netanyahu and his ministers must explain to Trump that all previous attempts to reach a deal by extracting concessions from Israel did nothing but weaken Israel. And the Israeli public will no longer accept any such concessions from their government.

 HHS Sec Price: 'I Can Still Work on 
 liar- nObamaCare Repeal' 
673OcpGFPaA0WDRR7jPMX4kxIsVzqdemnYam9gqN7RoIx2q512m8aZdpYcPxlB00112MO7Cf8XbH4ZuTJH1xrhLnj9CZrd5Bd8wU7H8ktrGz1IDrDnWpZ8_INQ8qAg=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
All hope isn't lost for repealing liar-nObamaCare, and in some ways, Congress won't even be necessary. The Washington Post relays the relevant details: "In his carefully calibrated testimony before House appropriators, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price made one thing clear Wednesday: The administration is still intent on dismantling parts of the Affordable Care Act even if Republicans lack the votes to rewrite it. Time and time again, Price invoked the pledge he has made repeatedly to lawmakers since President Trump selected him for his post. 'What we're committed to is making sure the American people have access to affordable coverage,' he [said]."
          Let's break this down. Democrats left gaping holes in the so-called Affordable Care Act so big Price could drive a Mack truck through them. They did this by leaving a ton of the law's implementation to the agency in charge of the particulars. As Price noted, "Fourteen hundred and forty-two times the ACA said 'the secretary shall' or 'the secretary may.' " That clearly gives Price great discretion in determining how liar-nObamaCare actually works in practice. His guidelines will be almost entirely what is politically doable for the Trump administration.
          One key thing Price may be working on is deciding what constitutes "essential benefits" in coverage. liar-nObamaCare mandates include what must be covered by insurance, and Price can scale some of that back. Not forcing older couples to buy insurance with maternity coverage, for example, would help slow down the drastic increase in premium prices. The Trump administration refers to the regulatory changes as "Phase 2" of liar-nObamaCare repeal. Let's hope things move forward even while Congress is stuck in neutral.  ~The Patriot Post

{rickwells.us} ~ Lou Dobbs has a few thoughts “on the Democrat partisan thugs in the Senate, who are about, they say, to filibuster a Supreme Court nominee... It would be for the first time in our country’s history. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance Supreme Court nominee Judge Neil Gorsuch to the full Senate. “ "Republicans slamming Democrats,” notes Dobbs, “for their party line vote in that committee and their planned filibuster of the judge. ” After playing comments from Senators Ted Cruz and Orrin Hatch denouncing their petty partisanship, Dobbs says, “For its part the Democrat Party is out of excuses for what has become its ugly, nasty, partisan thuggery. “Dobbs notes, “The new DNC chairman, Tom Perez, stands as an example, demonstrating Democrat leaders now insist on going to the lowest common denominator in their politics and their tactics. How low, how ignorant must Dems be to hurl expletives at the President of the United States? That’s what Perez did, calling President Trump bully and declaring Mr. Trump didn’t win the election. And then resorting to profanity and vulgarity, claiming Republicans don’t give a  s*it about people.”...  http://rickwells.us/dobbs-dems-self-destructing-ugly-nasty-partisan-thuggery/

On Campus: Minority Priorities

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The free speech wars on North American campuses appear to have arrived at their inevitable endpoint. For years, American and Canadian students have played around with a new form of morality in education... It is based not on a traditional concept of searching for truth or investigating and analysing ideas, but rather on the concept that the veracity of an opinion can be discerned by the person uttering it. In this way, a considerable number of people have apparently decided that a variety of "privileges" exist that make some speakers vital to listen to and others unnecessary, unless they agree to mouth a set of pre-ordained platitudes. This concept, coupled with the idea that minorities require special protection from speech, have now finally delivered the moral breakdown that was always waiting for it. The warning signs have been there for years...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10144/campus-minority-priorities

{townhall.com} ~
I believe in political involvement. I believe in social action. I believe in taking responsibility for our world. I believe in rolling up our sleeves and getting involved and being agents of positive change. But I also believe that our greatest battle is a spiritual battle – not a political battle or even a social battle – and we do our country a disservice when we neglect the spiritual battle at hand.

Paul explained to the believers in Ephesus that “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places” (Eph. 6:12).

What? Organized cosmic powers of darkness? Demonic forces arrayed in heavenly places? We’re supposed to take this stuff seriously?

Absolutely. We ignore the spiritual realm to the peril of our own souls.

That’s why Paul exhorted his readers to “take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm” (Eph. 6:12-13). We are in a spiritual war.

Again, I am not downplaying earthly realities one bit.

I am not saying that we’re not fully responsible for our actions. We are, and we can’t say, “The devil made me do it.”

I am not saying that some Democratic policies are not downright evil or that some Republicans are not downright corrupt or that some of our government’s decisions are not downright dangerous.

And I am absolutely not saying that instead of voting and petitioning and speaking up and taking stands we should just stay home and pray.

But I am saying that we have seriously neglected prayer.

I am saying that we have focused way too much on natural things and not nearly enough on spiritual things.

I am saying that we – speaking on behalf of many Christian conservatives – have put too much trust in the Republican Party and, for some, even in President Trump. Our hope must be in the Lord, and only He can bring about the changes our nation so desperately needs.

Let’s remember that we have a common enemy, the devil, also known as Satan. He hates blacks and whites alike. He wants to destroy men and women alike. He despises gays and straights alike. As Jesus taught, “He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (Jn. 8:44).

He wants to destroy America along with every other nation on the planet, and he cannot be defeated in the ballot box.

We must do war against Satan and his minions, and we do it first through devoted prayer, which ascends to the throne of God and results in extraordinary divine intervention. We also do it by sharing our faith with others, preaching the gospel without compromise or apology, calling a lost world to turn to Jesus and be transformed. Yes, I really believe all this. Do you?

And we do by living out our faith – in our personal lives, in our families, in our church communities – without hypocrisy and without compromise.

That’s how America will be shaken, and nothing short of a great awakening will stop or even slow our nation’s headlong race to destruction.

Do we really think that the Supreme Court can stem the tide? That Congress can do it? That the president can do it? That passing a specific bill or enacting a certain law will reverse our course?

Again, we should get involved politically, and what our political and judicial leaders do is of great importance. But let’s not kid ourselves. There’s only so much these elected and unelected)officials can do. The real changes that need to occur in our country can only occur by the Lord, working in conjunction with His people.

Likewise, our national wounds and divisions are too deep for a human cure. We need the Great Physician.

When I speak like this, I understand that some will misread this column and hear ominous talk of “dominionism,” as if I’m calling for some type of forceful, Christian takeover of society. Be assured that that is the last thing on my mind.

What I’m calling for is simple and clear. It is for followers of Jesus to seek God’s face in prayer with a deep sense of urgency, asking Him to have mercy on our nation.

It is for us to humble ourselves before Him in deep repentance for our own sins and failings.

It is for us to renew our commitment to the Great Commission and to focus once again on winning the lost and making disciples.

It is for us to shine like lights in dark places, confronting evil and injustice, helping the poor and the hurting, making a tangible difference for good wherever God has placed us.

It is for us to live in the light of eternity, recognizing that what we do or don’t do in our time on earth will have implications in both this world and the world to come.

In short, it is for us to take the Bible seriously, and that means submitting to God, resisting the devil, and pushing back the forces of darkness by the power of the gospel.

Not only can it be done, with God’s gracious help, it must be done.

Are you with me?

DELAWARE Senator under fire for his indignation at having 2 Muslim clerics read from the quran at Senate invocation

( Muslims do ,not assimilate, they infiltrate! )

Comments that state Sen. Dave Lawson, R-Marydel, made about Islam on the floor of the chamber led to a rare rebuke from the chamber’s chief and sparked a brief but fierce discussion about religious freedom. 

Delaware Online  “We just heard from the Quran, which calls for our very demise,” Lawson said after a Muslim duo gave the invocation, including a passage from their holy text. “I fought for this country, not to be damned by someone that comes in here and prays to their God for our demise. I think that’s despicable.”

Lawson served in the Air Force and did a tour in Vietnam. He addressed his colleagues on the floor of the Senate. Lawson and Sen. Colin Bonini, R-Dover South, stepped out of the chamber for the prayer. They re-entered when the speakers had finished, and Lawson gave a brief speech, saying he “took great exception” to the reading from the Quran.

After Lawson’s comments, the Senate proceeded as normal, debating and passing several bills. But before the chamber adjourned later in the evening, President Pro Tempore David McBride, D-New Castle, halted, saying he felt “there is complicity in remaining silent.”

“I have never been of the mind to censure the words of other members, but I also believe deeply that words have consequences,” McBride said, reading aloud from a statement. “To criticize the sacred prayer of another religion from the floor of the Senate strikes me as antithetical to everything we ought to stand for as lawmakers.”

“I am personally offended that our guests from the Muslim community and anyone else here in the chamber today would feel anything less than welcomed with opened arms,” McBride said. “And for our guests today to be branded as anti-American when our First Amendment of our country’s Constitution explicitly guarantees the freedom of religion is both ironic and deeply sad to me.”

Afterward, Lawson said he thought McBride was “ignorant to what’s going on.” He said the Quran includes passages about killing “infidels” and pointed to some majority-Muslim countries that restrict women’s rights and persecute Christians, among other evils.

“Their belief flies in the face of our Constitution,” Lawson said afterward. “This is not our Bible, we should not be allowing them to pray from that book in our house, just as I do not believe I would be allowed to pray from my Bible in their house.”

Pakistani Muslim with U.S. citizenship planned Paris-style jihad attacks in NYC

( Muslims do ,not assimilate, they infiltrate! )

Source: FBI report claims teen planned Paris-style attacks in New York – Pakistan – DAWN.COM

A US citizen of Pakistani origin was planning to carry out Paris-style attacks on “heavily populated areas” in New York City, revealed a report shared by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with Pakistani authorities.

The FBI report, handed over to the interior ministry for extradition of the 18-year-old suspect Talha Haroon, says that he, along with his co-conspirator and an undercover FBI agent, “plotted to carry out deadly bombings in heavily populated areas of New York City in the name of the [IS]”.

The report claimed that Haroon was stationed in Pakistan in April of last year and planned attacks on the New York Subway, Times Square and a concert.

The report also claimed that Mr Haroon had been associated with the Taliban in the past and had later switched his allegiance to IS.

The report claimed that Mr Haroon wanted to carry out an attack in NYC around June 2016. It said that the suspects “identified multiple potential targets of their plot to launch terrorist attacks in New York City”. One target was the New York subway, Times Square was another. The report claimed that the suspects “discussed plans to detonate a car bomb in Times Square”.

The FBI report quoted a communication between the co-conspirator and Mr Haroon from May 12, 2016: “We just walk in with guns in our hands. That’s how the Paris guys did it. You just walk in and shoot anyone who says anything.”

According to the report, on or about Sept 22, 2016, the FBI was advised that Mr Haroon had recently been taken into custody in Pakistan. On Sept 27, Mr Haroon was charged in a criminal complaint before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The complaint charged Mr Haroon on five counts of conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction, conspiring to commit act of terrorism, conspiring to bomb a place of public use and public transportation, conspiring to provide material support or resources to terrorists and conspiring to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organisation.

Each of the five charges count as a separate offence and each charged offence is punishable under US law with more than one year of imprisonment.

But even though the Islamabad district administration completed the process of Mr Haroon’s extradition at the request of US authorities, the Islamabad High Court stayed the extradition on March 27, 2017 with a direction to the federal government to respond to a petition filed by Mr Haroon’s father.

The petitioner had claimed that since Mr Haroon did not commit any offence in the US, the American government could not seek his custody.


More via: IHC stops extradition of US citizen accused of terror plot

A Pakistani court has temporarily barred the extradition of a US citizen of Pakistani origin who is accused of planning a terrorist attack in New York, a lawyer said Wednesday.

Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui of Islamabad High Court suspended the extradition order against Talha Haroon, 19, who is currently jailed in Rawalpindi pending his repatriation.

Lawyer Tariq Asad, who petitioned the Islamabad High Court against the order, said he had won a stay.

Siddiqui also summoned officials from the interior ministry for the next court hearing on April 11, according to an order seen by AFP.

“The allegation was that he was planning an armed operation against a public place in New York with IS,” Asad said, referring to the Islamic State group.

He said Haroon had returned from the US to Pakistan more than a year ago.

In his application to the court, Haroon’s father Haroon Rashid had written: “The story against the petitioner’s son is entirely concocted and false. He is a young teenaged student and in case of extradition he may lose his life and career.”

He added his son was a victim of “biased and prejudiced policy against the Muslims” by US President Donald Trump.

Pakistan has a bilateral extradition treaty with the US that was signed before the South Asian country gained  independence from Britain in 1947.

It has previously surrendered high-profile fugitives including Mir Qazi, convicted of the 1993 shootings at the CIA headquarters in Langley, and Ramzi Yousef, convicted for his part in the World Trade Center truck bombing the same year.

Death of free speech: Germany approves bill imposing massive fines for online “hate speech” and “fake news”

( Muslims do ,not assimilate, they infiltrate! )

“German Justice Minister Heiko Maas said that the companies offering such online platforms are responsible for removing hateful content. He said the new bill would not restrict the freedom of expression, but intervene only when criminal hatred or intentionally false news are posted.”

What is “criminal hatred”? Clearly what German authorities mean is not just incitement to violence, but opposition to their suicidal policies regarding Muslim migration: “the issue” of this online censorship “has come to the fore amid the recent influx of migrants to Germany, which has sparked a backlash among some Germans including a rise in online vitriol.” German authorities apparently define “vitriol” as including any opposition to the Muslim migrant influx, no matter how reasoned, and to their supine attitude regarding jihad terror: Facebook and Twitter have already blocked 90% of their daily referrals from Jihad Watch, and the site is blocked by many Internet service providers in the UK and Europe. The government of Pakistan says that Facebook is doing its bidding and removing content that violates Sharia blasphemy laws.

The concept of “hate speech” is subjective. I don’t think that what I do constitutes “hate speech,” but Leftist and Muslim groups insist that it does, and they have all the power. “Hate speech” laws are tools in the hands of the powerful to silence the powerless and quell their dissent. But the increasingly authoritarian character of the political elites is in the final analysis a sign of their desperation. They didn’t see Brexit or Trump coming. They are rapidly moving to delegitimize and silence all those who dissent from their globalist internationalist agenda. But our numbers are growing. This ain’t over. And they will not succeed in silencing us.

“Germany approves bill curbing online hate crime, fake news,” by Kirsten Grieshaber, Associated Press, April 5, 2017:

BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s Cabinet on Wednesday approved a new bill that punishes social networking sites if they fail to swiftly remove illegal content such as hate speech or defamatory fake news.

Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Cabinet agreed on rules that would impose fines of up to 50 million euros (53.4 million dollars) on Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms.

German Justice Minister Heiko Maas said that the companies offering such online platforms are responsible for removing hateful content. He said the new bill would not restrict the freedom of expression, but intervene only when criminal hatred or intentionally false news are posted.

Germany poses a particular problem for U.S.-owned social networking sites accustomed to American standards of free speech. Due to its Nazi past, Germany bans public Holocaust denial and any overt promotion of racism. The issue has come to the fore amid the recent influx of migrants to Germany, which has sparked a backlash among some Germans including a rise in online vitriol.

Social networks need to ensure that obviously criminal content — as defined by German law — will be deleted within 24 hours and other illegal content after seven days.

“Just like on the streets, there is also no room for criminal incitement on social networks,” Maas said.

“The internet affects the culture of debate and the atmosphere in our society. Verbal radicalization is often a preliminary stage to physical violence,” he added.

The minister pointed out that social networks don’t delete enough punishable content, citing research that he said showed Twitter deletes just 1 percent of illegal content flagged by users, while Facebook deletes 39 percent.

Maas also said that measures to combat hate speech and so-called fake news will ultimately have to be taken at the European level to be effective…

Why Rice is a Constitutional crisis

NOTEWhen writing about God and Jesus, The Daily Jot means YHVH as God and Yeshua Ha Mashiach as Jesus--the actual original names and the true nature and character of them.
  
Thursday, April 6, 2017
In response to a reporter's question about how President Donald Trump feels about the Rice spying scandal, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said, " I am somewhat surprised in terms of the level of interest that I've seen from the press corps at one set of developments versus another set of developments." He repeated after another question: "I'm -- somewhat more from a media standpoint -- somewhat intrigued by the lack of interest that we've seen in some of these public revelations..." In this briefing, the reporters went on to what they must have considered more important questions about Trump drawing money from his own blind trust. They are abrogating their duty as a free press.
 
In reality, it is very curious that the news media doesn't blow up on Susan Rice. In a day where every scandal becomes a throwback to Watergate, there appears to be very little written about the latest "Spygate." In fact, several news outlets such as CNN, refuse to cover it. CNN Tonight's Don Lemon announced he would ignore the Rice story at all costs. CNN's Chris Cuomo claimed the story was "demonstrably untrue" and called it a "fake scandal." New Day anchor Alisyn Camerota called on Senator John McCain (R-AZ) to write-off the scandal as "unimportant." CNN's chief national security correspondent Jim Sciutto, a former White House political appointee of the ex "president," said the story is "ginned up."
 
Charles Hurt, who covers politics for the Washington Times, Fox News and Breitbart, points out that " Most of the media, of course, is so desperate to destroy Mr. Trump and cover up anything that might reflect poorly on [sic] the ex "president" that they would rather talk about phantom "Russia" connections instead." He further wrote, "But an administration actively spying on political opponents during a presidential election, unmasking US citizens and then punishing them with selective leaks to the press? That is a real scandal. And a constitution crisis that raises dire questions about whether any American citizen is safe from the espionage thuggery of the politically powerful."
 
The right to privacy is guaranteed by the Constitution's 4th Amendment, stating: " The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." A president spying on citizens and an incoming president is unconstitutional. The free press ignoring it is a sign of a coup or shadow government. Ecclesiastes 8:11 says, "Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil." This is a Constitutional crisis and the evil is aimed at all American citizens. It's the seedling of dictatorship trying to choke out the tree of Liberty.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Boko Haram Won’t Stop Killing Christians. It’s a Demonic Assault.

On Friday, Boko Haram Islamists kidnapped 22 more young girls. They will be held as sex slaves or sold to the highest bidder.

“Boko Haram” means “Western education is forbidden” in the Hausa language. These Islamists terrorists hate all things western and Christian. They want to forcibly establish an Islamic Caliphate and impose Shariah Law on everyone.

They call themselves al-Sunnah wal Jamma: “Followers of the Prophet’s Teachings.” Their official name is Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, which means “People committed to the propagation of the prophet’s teachings and Jihad.”

This definition defines them. They are proud of it. They boast of their evil acts and have no conscience. Who is the main target of their jihad? Christians.

The Christian Targets

Remember three years ago, when Boko Haram kidnapped over 200 girls from a school in Chibok, northern Nigeria? Most of the girls are Christians. These girls can be sold as brides to the Islamist terrorists for $12.00.

With a smile on his face, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau admitted to reporters, “I abducted your girls. I will sell them in the market, by Allah. … There is a market for selling humans. Allah says I should sell. He commands me to sell. I will sell women. I sell women.”

They haven’t stopped. Here’s a story from last September, just one of dozens of stories about their atrocities. Boko Haram members on motorcycles shot down Christians walking home from church. They killed eight and wounded others. This was part of a week in which they killed six civilians and three soldiers traveling in a convoy, and then beheaded a village chief and his son before setting fire to many homes in their village. They shot the villagers as they fled, killing two.

And just a few days ago, they kidnapped the 22 girls.

The terrorists of Boko Haram haven’t stopped and they won’t stop. After one church bombing in 2011, a spokesman boasted, “There will never be peace, until our demands are met. We want all our brothers who have been incarcerated to be released; we want full implementation of the Sharia system and we want democracy and the constitution to be suspended.”

A Demonic Assault

This attack on Christians is a demonic assault. A spokesman for Boko Haram announced in 2012 they were planning a “war on Christians.” They told a local reporter, “We will create so much effort to end the Christian presence in our push to have a proper Islamic state that the Christians won’t be able to stay.”

We need to remember that the attack on all of the others is also demonic. The devil hates mankind. He hates Christians in particular, because we bear the name of Jesus Christ. But he wants all people to suffer, because we’re all made in the image of God.

Look at the misery Boko Haram has created. Crux reported last year: “The seven-year Islamic uprising has killed more than 20,000 people, driven some 2.6 million from their homes and spread to neighboring countries.” The famine-like conditions these terrorist have created “are killing children and starving some 2 million Nigerians still trapped in northeast areas by Boko Haram. Most of the refugees are subsistence farmers who have been unable to farm for years now.”

Americans don’t like to think about the demonic. We don’t want to believe anyone else is really serving evil. Our scholars and pundits try to explain such evil in economic and political terms. That can be partially true, of course, but it doesn’t change the reality of evil or the fact that it is at work in all of this horror. As the Apostle Paul reminded the Christians in Ephesus, we need to be reminded, “we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness” (Eph. 6:12, 13).

We need to listen to our brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ who live in the midst of the Islamist terror. They can tell us about responding to the kind of demonic evil Boko Haram has unleashed on the Christians of northern Nigeria.

Only God Can Save Us

The Catholic Bishop of Kafanchan Diocese called Christians throughout Nigeria to join in focused prayer and take concerted action. Joseph Bagobiri told Vatican Radio, “Since we have no government that would listen to our plight, we have carried our case directly to God. It is only God that can save us from our present situation. Our hope in Him is never in vain since he knows our problem and He will deliver us one day just as he delivered the people of Israel from the hands of the Egyptians.”

These Christians don’t suffer only from Boko Haram. They suffer from the Muslim-dominated governments and society of northern Nigeria. They suffer from what the bishop called “structural injustices.” These include the unfair distribution of goods and infrastructure, with Muslims getting more than Christians. It also includes discrimination in holding political and public offices, so Christians have few people in power to defend them. Their lives are hard even without Boko Haram.

The courageous Christians of Nigeria are staying, and praying. They are losing their freedom, and shedding their blood. Bishop Bagobiri says: “We as a Church must evolve new ways on how we can face violence without losing faith. It is our prayer that God will give us strength and the needed direction on how to make Christianity survive despite the constant attacks and persecution.” (For more from the author of “Boko Haram Won’t Stop Killing Christians.

Did North Carolina Legislators Sell Their Souls for Dollars?

How should we view North Carolina’s repeal of HB2, the so-called Bathroom Privacy Act?

It’s true that the state caved to the bullying tactics of the NCAA. But was it a complete capitulation? On one hand, the legislators took a step in the wrong direction. That’s why conservative organizations like ADF and FRC condemned the repeal. On the other hand, the legislators pushed back against LGBT activism. That’s why LGBT groups condemned the new bill. How do we sort this out?

Did North Carolina Give in to Bullies?


Let’s start with the negative.

Since the day HB2 passed, North Carolina has been bullied by big business, the media, and the world of sports and entertainment. “If you don’t repeal this mean-spirited bill, we will take our business elsewhere!”

Judging by the news reports, you’d think the state’s economy was floundering because of this pressure. The economy is actually thriving. It’s receiving some of the highest ratings in the nation in terms of overall health. As Lt. Gov. Dan Forest explained, the boycotts cost the state roughly one-tenth of 1 percent of its economy.

Why, then, did some legislators cave in when the NCAA gave them a 24-hour deadline to repeal HB2? Was it the bad publicity? Was it the importance of having these major college events brought back to the state? (After all, North Carolina just won the NCAA college basketball championship this week.)

Whatever the motivation, the capitulation seemed cowardly, as if money was more important than morality and popularity more important than principle.

As expressed by Kellie Fiedorek of ADF:

Sadly, North Carolina has failed families by giving in to hypocritical bullies like the NCAA and billion-dollar corporations. Every North Carolinian deserves to have their privacy respected in intimate settings like locker rooms and restrooms. One of government’s essential duties is to protect the citizens it governs, not to create uncertainty about whether showers and locker rooms will still be safe for women and girls. North Carolina’s economy is booming, so the state should not let the NCAA and others dictate the state’s policies and sell out their citizens’ interests based on flat-out lies about an economic doomsday that never happened.

LGBT Activists Didn’t Get What They Wanted

Still, things are not all bad. As former NC governor Pat McCrory explained, LGBT activists “did not get a full repeal of HB2.” (According to the HRC, McCrory’s support for the state’s compromise was a “kiss of death.”)

That’s why the editorial board of the left-leaning Charlotte Observer wrote:

Legislators and Gov. Roy Cooper hailed Thursday’s HB2 repeal bill as a compromise. In fact, it is nothing of the kind. It is a betrayal of the promises the governor made to the LGBT community and an entrenchment on discrimination by Republican legislators who have backed it all along.

Referring to the new bill, HB 142, the editors opined,

House Bill 142 literally does not do one thing to protect the LGBT community and locks in HB2’s most basic and offensive provision. It repeals HB2 in name only and will not satisfy any business or organization that is truly intolerant of an anti-gay environment and of a state that codifies discrimination.

HB2’s most fundamental requirement was that local governments cannot pass anti-discrimination ordinances that govern public accommodations such as restaurants and hotels. Under Thursday’s agreement, that is still true, until at least December 2020.

Return to the Status Quo

So where does this new bill leave us? How should we respond?

When it comes to bathroom privacy, the biggest thing the bill does is return to the status quo of 2015. This was before the Charlotte City Council passed a radical bill that would have in effect rendered all public bathrooms and locker rooms gender neutral. (This applied to public schools as well.)

As explained by law professor Greg Wallace, before “the Charlotte ordinance that sparked the debate, there were no laws regarding bathroom usage. If a man went into the women’s restroom, or vice versa … he’d likely be asked to leave, and if he refused, he could be arrested for trespassing.”

But, says the Charlotte Observer, “the legislation dodges the whole bathroom question. Charlotte’s ordinance allowed transgender individuals to use the public bathroom of the gender with which they identify. HB2 banned that. The new law does not specify what transgender people are to do.”

And that brings us back to where we were before 2016, which is not such a bad place.

Were there numerous instances of men posing as women in order to invade the ladies’ bathrooms and locker rooms? Not to my knowledge.

Were there male-to-female transgenders who appeared to be female getting kicked out ladies’ bathrooms? Not to my knowledge.

The NCAA is Happy With The Change

As the saying goes, if it’s not broken, don’t fix it. Yet that is just what the Charlotte City Council did in 2016 with its city ordinance, leading to the passing of HB2. This led to the national boycotts and bad publicity, which led to the partial repeal of HB2.

As much as LGBT activists and their allies are outraged by the state’s actions, things were not so terrible before 2016. That’s why the NCAA and the NBA had no problem with full participation in the state. That’s why PayPal planned to bring new business to Charlotte. That’s why entertainers like Bruce Springsteen and Ringo Starr were scheduled to perform here.

Even the NCAA recognized this in their announcement that they were lifting their boycott:

We recognize the quality championships hosted by the people of North Carolina in years before HB2. And this new law restores the state to that legal landscape: a landscape similar to other jurisdictions presently hosting NCAA championships.

Of course, the NCAA managed to make some politically correct (but logically bankrupt) statements. They referred to “the cumulative impact HB2 had on local communities’ ability to ensure a safe, healthy, discrimination-free atmosphere for all those watching and participating in our events.”

Can someone please tell me how allowing biological males to play on female sports teams and share their locker rooms ensures “a safe, healthy, discrimination-free atmosphere for all those watching and participating in our events”? Can anyone explain this? And what would the NCAA do if one of the nation’s top, male college players announced he was female? Would he/she be welcomed on the women’s teams?

Naturally, the NCAA was careful to say that “as with most compromises, this new law is far from perfect.” Nonetheless, the NCAA’s decision to reverse its boycott indicates that the old status quo was acceptable. Therefore, with the partial repeal of HB2, there was no reason to continue the boycott.

Hopefully the NBA and others will follow suit. But if they choose not to, I hope the people of North Carolina will say, “we will do just fine without you.”

Back to Where We Were

As for moral conservatives upset by the compromise, I have a word of encouragement. The sky is not falling. HB 142 will not empower male predators to pose as women so as to prey on children and women. Common sense will prevail. The people of North Carolina will not have to fear speaking up to a bathroom intruder.

And where does this leave transgenders? As in the past, if no one can tell that you have “transitioned,” then no one will protest your presence in a bathroom. Why would they?

But if you are clearly a biological male who identifies as female and you walk into a ladies’ room, don’t be surprised if some ladies ask you to leave.

“That’s unfair,” you might say.

But what about fairness to everyone else? What about fairness to the 99 percent who are not transgender? What about the women who have been sexually abused by men who are traumatized by a male presence in these private places — even if the male in question is totally harmless?

I can’t imagine the struggles that trans individuals live with and the difficult choices they make. But we can’t turn society upside down to accommodate the few struggling souls. Instead, we listen to the them and do our best to help them, but we also remember the needs of the vast majority.

In short, here in North Carolina, we’re back to where we were in 2015 but with a few more legislative safeguards in place.

Overall, that’s not so bad. (For more from the author of “Did North Carolina Legislators Sell Their Souls for Dollars?” please click HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/04/north-carolina-legislators-sell-souls-dollars/

Trump Signs off on the Pentagon Carrying out Offensive Strikes in Somalia

President Trump has approved new kinds of operations for the U.S. military in Somalia, the Pentagon said Thursday, setting the stage for a wider American role in the war there as U.S. troops team directly with Somali soldiers in offensive operations.

The authorization, approved Wednesday, is “consistent with our approach of developing capable Somali security forces and supporting regional partners in their efforts to combat al-Shabab,” said Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, referring to the al-Qaeda-linked group. U.S. troops will team with the Somali military and the African Union Mission in Somali (AMISOM), a regional peacekeeping force that operates with approval from the United Nations.

“Somali and AMISOM forces have already achieved significant success in recapturing territory from al-Shabab, and additional U.S. support will help them increase pressure on al-Shabab and reduce the risk to our partner forces when they conduct operations,” Davis said. “We stand with the international community in supporting the federal government of Somalia as it strives to improve stability and security in Somalia.” (Read more from “Trump Signs off on the Pentagon Carrying out Offensive Strikes in Somalia” HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/04/trump-signs-off-pentagon-carrying-offensive-strikes-somalia/

Is There a Constitutional Crisis in the USA No One Is Addressing?

Everyone is so smitten with high tech and other political correctness ‘awareness’ goings on, no one is paying attention to the fact our Constitutional Rights, especially those emphasized in the first ten amendments, aka the Bill of Rights, originally proposed and then written by James Madison, are being overlooked, denied and, basically, thrown to the winds as if they did not exist!

As I hear the drumbeats of what’s going on around the country with regard to all sorts of consumer and taxpayer issues, I think I understand how all these crises are being rolled out simultaneously so everyone thinks they are the new norm. Well, let’s think again! I say. We still have the U.S. Constitution, which is the basic law of the USA, and also we have individual state’s Constitutions which, in most cases, parrot some of the rights in the U.S. Constitution. So, what’s gone wrong, you say?

Well, there are two perfect examples in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The first occurs in a sleepy little Borough of Pottstown. Pottstown’s ‘city fathers’ apparently enacted a biannual rental inspections policy requiring rental properties to be inspected, even against the renter’s wishes!

Question: Doesn’t that type of inspection require a warrant based upon probable cause? According to KYW 1060 radio news reports, those inspections can include moving beds, looking into closets—actions which are “off limits for government” unless there is “probable cause.”

Dorothy and Omar Rivera, who rent a home from landlord Steven Camburn, filed a lawsuit against the borough to prevent such inspection. Coincidentally, their landlord also joined in the suit! The Riveras contend such inspections are unconstitutional; they are represented by an attorney with the Virginia-based Institute for Justice.

So, which Constitutional rights are the Riveras concerned about? According to Dorothy Rivera, “I’m a private person. I’ve done nothing wrong, and I don’t want people snooping around my house.” Add to that the fact their landlord says, “Everybody deserves privacy. If there’s no real probable cause, they should not be entering a house that is occupied.”

Meagan Forbes, the plaintiffs’ attorney, says, “People should know about how intrusive these searches are.” However,

In the lawsuit, attorneys claim that Pottstown’s policy is too broad, allowing for inspectors to conduct “highly-intrusive, wall-to-wall searches for compliance with on-the-spot standards that inspectors are free to make up as they go along.”

What’s going on in Pottstown regarding rental property inspections is NOTHING compared with what’s happening to every Pennsylvania utility customer who is supplied electric, natural gas and water with more than 100,000 customers.

Customers’ appliances and usage are being monitored, collected and SOLD to third parties unknown to consumers without their knowledge and consent, nor a legal warrant to collect such personal information. Check out Onzo and what that algorithm does with smart meter data and information.

AMI Smart Meters surveil and collect information, plus interact with customers’ appliances 24/7/365 in total violation of Amendments IV, V, and XIV §2 of the U.S. Constitution, including the Pennsylvania Constitution art. 1 §1.

And the most egregious part about the AMI Smart Meter snooping without a warrant is that AMI Smart Meters and their incessant snooping are mandated ‘supposedly by law’ by an erroneous interpretation of the PA Public Utility Commission’s “belief” interpretation of HB2200/Act 129 (2008), which actually was enacted in reality as an Opt-In Smart Meter bill as publicly published of record in section 2(i) below:

HB2200 §2807(f)7(2)

(2) Electric distribution companies shall furnish smart meter technology as follows:

(i) Upon request from a customer that agrees to pay the cost of the smart meter at the time of the request.

(ii) In new building construction.

(iii) In accordance with a depreciation schedule not to exceed 15 years.

Furthermore, PA State Senator Fumo is on record in PA Senate Journal October 8, 2008 (pp. 2626-2631) stating, “In addition we did not mandate smart meters, but we made them optional.”

However, the piece de resistance is this most damning of admissions by the PA PUC’s Office of Communications’ Dave Hixson in his letter to Thomas A. McCarey dated March 22, 2017 wherein Hixson says:

As I stated in my earlier email correspondence with you, the Commission believes that it was the intent of the General Assembly to require all covered electric companies to deploy smart meters system-wide.

[CJF emphasis added. Thereby supposedly and illegally, the PA PUC made smart meters mandatory—not the state legislature!]

But that’s not all!

Every U.S. state—bar none, except those states which provide opt-outs from AMI Smart Meters—are breaking federal law! Did you know that? The federal law which individual states are violating when they mandate smart meters is Public Law 109-58, The Energy Policy Act of 2005, §1252 Smart Metering. Nothing is said about AMI smart meters being mandated! That would be unconstitutional, I contend, so that’s why “mandated” is not in the language! However, the feds offered a few ‘carrots’ i.e., grants and monetary incentives, to those utilities that would implement AMI Smart Meters. What does that tell you? Follow the money!

In essence, sleepy little Pottstown is “small potatoes” compared with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in denying Constitutional rights to citizens.

What’s going on in your state?

Have you looked into your state’s AMI Smart Meters ‘law’; how AMI SMs are snooping on you; and that you don’t have to have them retrofitted; plus how your constitutional rights are being abrogated?

 Nunes, Flynn and the Swirling Russia Story

By Todd Johnson: Watergate. Deep Throat. Those were just a couple of the loaded words thrown around in the media last week during the coverage of both Representative Devin Nunes, who is the chairman of the House intelligence committee investigating President Donald Trump's alleged ties to Russia, and Lieutenant General (Ret.) Mike Flynn, whose attorney asked the FBI and congressional investigators to provide criminal immunity to his client in exchange for testimony. However, in their rush to make a judgment on individual motives, much of the fourth estate missed the fact that the American government has a problem with safeguarding intelligence, as well as a perceived inability to avoid incidental collection on its citizens.
          Before diving into the federal challenges with protecting classified information, it's important to acknowledge up front that both Nunes' and Flynn's activities over the last few weeks have been at best, aleatory, and at worst, duplicitous. Nunes' statements have not been forthright and he hasn't been upfront with his colleagues on the committee that he chairs. His tendency to obfuscate when asked probing questions has not only hurt his individual reputation but the institution in which he currently serves. He's supposed to be leading the congressional investigation of Donald Trump's ties to Russia, but is acting almost as a Trump surrogate.
          Flynn, unlike Nunes, has been off the public radar since he was fired from the National Security Advisor position by President Trump when it was leaked that Flynn lied to Vice President Mike Pence about contacts that he had with the Russian ambassador during the transition period. Flynn's trustworthiness has continued to be questioned since his removal, most recently when it was discovered he failed to disclose payments from Russian related entities in 2015.
          While both men's objectionable behavior leaves much to be desired, the media are missing the more important story. Rather than focusing on Nunes' and Flynn's transgressions, they should be devoting resources to why the federal government's intelligence reports are being leaked and how information from foreign collection is being distributed through the White House.
          The House Intelligence investigation into Russia's attempts to influence the 2016 presidential election and whether there was inappropriate monitoring of the Trump campaign by Barack liar-nObama's administration marks an important inflection point in our nation's history. It marks the first time in the 21st century that the federal legislative branch is devoting significant amounts of time and resources to determining whether a foreign adversary tried to influence a national election. But, more importantly, this could determine whether a sitting president's administration leveraged information collected on U.S. citizens through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to adversely affect an incoming administration.
          The FISA program has been around since 1978 and it has been amended over the years, most substantively in 2008. A significant section of FISA, Section 702, is set to expire by the end of the 2017 unless Congress takes action. A debate is starting to brew between staunch advocates of the program and those who feel it cuts at civil liberties. Backers in both the intelligence community and federal government laud FISA as an indispensable tool against those who would do harm to the United States. Proponents argue that this program has made the homeland more secure from attack, but at what cost?
          Abuses have occurred, most recently in 2015, when members of Congress were caught up in the National Security Agency's surveillance of Israeli government officials during the U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations. Last week, syndicated columnist Eli Lake noted that this experience enabled the liar-nObama administration to "learn about the strategy of its domestic political opposition through legal wiretaps of a foreign head of state and his aides."
          Hence the reason why Nunes has tried to determine if the same thing happened to Trump and his associates during the transition period. Additionally, Nunes wants to ascertain who leaked Flynn's name and the contents of his phone call to the Russian ambassador.
          While Nunes insists he has seen evidence that the liar-nObama administration surveilled Trump's incoming administration, he hasn't been able to back up his claims. Only time will tell what facts will be uncovered. That's why it is imperative that Nunes and his colleagues be given the opportunity to explore all avenues to ascertain whether any criminal activity took place in the last days of Barack liar-nObama's presidency.  ~The Patriot Post

He says some of his sources told him at the time, “‘Hey, there’s more to this story than Nunes has. that’s coming out, the media’s missing it.’  And they were concerned because they felt that eventually it would come out and they wanted to make sure that it was correct, because, in a lot of cases, they don’t want their methods to be known.” He describes the process used by Rice and how she disseminated the masked names and associated information to the entirety of what we have come to know as the deep state and DC swamp...  http://rickwells.us/levin-housley-lays-rice-story-might-go-else-involved/

These mistakes range from offering a false impression of reality to actually getting facts wrong. Such elementary mistakes expose the disconnect between mainstream media outlets and basic truths of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. For example, CNN wrote that this is Israel’s ‘first new settlement in Palestinian territory in more than 20 years’. The first part of the sentence is misleading and the second part is false. Israel has not built new communities in Judea and Samaria because it has given numerous chances for the Palestinian leadership to come to the table and reach an agreement.  The second part of the statement asserts that Israel is building in Palestinian territory. This is because CNN incorrectly believes that Israel has no legal rights to the West Bank... http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/266290/mainstream-media-distorts-reality-israeli-gideon-israel

Someone famous in the White House was just caught committing treason against Trump
{angrypatriotmovement.com} ~ As the wiretapping scandal continues to unfold, culprits are finally being revealed for their crimes against We the People... The National Security Council uncovered the treasonous truth of Rice’s actions while reviewing requests she’d made to the intelligence committee. Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the NSC’s senior director for intelligence, was the one who initially discovered Rice’s numerous requests to reveal the identities (unmask) private United States citizens in an attempt to get some “dirt” on President-Elect Donald Trump. In the coming days, we’re sure Nunes and other officials will have a LOT to say regarding this matter and how it will affect our personal security in the years to come. We’re going to be glued to the news! In the meantime, what is to become of the traitor Susan Rice?

Strong Arm Needed For Abortion
by Tom McLaughlin
Screen-Shot-2017-04-03-at-9.42.20-AM.png
{tommclaughlin.blogspot.com} ~ “Calling them babies is creepy,” said Arizona abortionist Dr. DeShawn Taylor, referring to what she surgically removes from women. She admitted on a video released four weeks ago that she routinely did abortions on healthy babies up to 24 weeks. She also admitted that late-term babies born alive after her abortion attempts are sometimes killed, but that depends on who is in the room at the time.
Screen-Shot-2017-03-29-at-1.58.58-PM.png
Rather than dismember a late-term baby in utero, she tries instead to deliver it intact so as to salvage organs and other tissue for possible sale: “It’s not a matter of how I feel about it coming out intact,” she says, ”but I gotta worry about my staff and people’s feelings about it coming out looking like a baby.”
C8MTo8PUQAA14Ci.jpg
It comes out looking like a baby, Dr. Taylor, because it is a baby.
de.jpg
The investigative journalists recording Dr. Taylor said they wanted to buy baby parts for biomedical research and were interested in intact bodies not “mashed” by the usual abortion procedures. Dr. Taylor said she prefers to deliver the body intact because it requires a lot of strength to tear off pieces. Here’s how she described it: “I remember when I was a [Family Planning] Fellow and I was training, I was like, Oh, I have to hit the gym for this,” because ripping off legs and other parts required strong biceps in the arm holding the forceps.

She was laughing as she said this. I was horrified, as anyone with an ounce of humanity left in them would be. The video is politically explosive. Though it was released four weeks ago, you won’t see it on NBC, CBS, ABC, or CNN. Formerly medical director for Planned Parenthood, Arizona, Dr. Taylor now owns her own abortion clinic in Phoenix, where she happily reports her “market share” is up.

Sometimes the baby is born alive in spite of Dr. Taylor’s attempts to kill it during the abortion. “In Arizona,” she said. “if the fetus comes out with any signs of life, we’re supposed to transport it. To the hospital.”

The investigative journalist asked, “Is there any standard procedure for verifying signs of life?”

“Well, the thing is,” said Taylor, “I mean the key is, you need to pay attention to who’s in the room, right?” Then she laughed again. I cringed. She obviously implied that she kills the living child if no one who might object is present to see her. That’s murder — homicide — because once a baby is entirely outside its mother’s body, it’s legally a human being. Ask abortionist Dr. Kermit Gosnell. He’s serving life in prison for doing what Taylor laughs about.

Infanticide and conspiring to sell body parts are both felonies. So how did authorities react? Three weeks after releasing the video, the two investigative journalists who made it, David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, were indicted in California on fifteen felony counts. Attorney David French, writing in National Review, described the charges as: “recording alleged ‘confidential communications’ between complete strangers at public conferences and at public restaurants.”

French points out that animal rights activists secretly recorded conversations about the mistreatment of ducks at a California farm and reported it to authorities who then investigated the farm. In another case it was a secretly recorded conversation about mistreatment of chickens, and again California responded with an investigation. At no point were the animal rights advocates admonished for secretly recording conversations, much less indicted for it. I guess we can assume that ducks and chickens are more important than babies in California.

Pressured by citizens in Texas who watched Daleiden’s videos about similar Planned Parenthood practices in that state, Houston District Attorney Devon Anderson empaneled a grand jury to indict PP, which does 350,000 abortions a year nationwide. Since grand jury proceedings are secret, we cannot know what Anderson presented to jurists behind closed doors, but rather than indict PP for selling baby parts, they turned around and indicted Daleiden for exposing it. A year ago, I published a column documenting this. The charges were later dropped, but Houston’s Planned Parenthood still has not been brought to justice as of this writing.

See a pattern here? Daleiden’s investigative journalism exposed things so horrible, the left cannot bear to leave them out there unchallenged. They know their charges against Daleiden serve only to harass him, to cost him money and time, and to discourage him from doing any more investigating. Democrat Attorney General Kamala Harris raided Daieiden’s home and confiscated his computer, his hard drives, and the rest of his unpublished videos. Then she was elected to the US Senate. New Attorney General Xavier Becerra, also a Democrat, brought the charges. According the Washington Free Beacon, both received over $45,000 from Planned Parenthood and NARAL — the National Abortion Rights Action League.

A Muslim Brotherhood-backed Governor?

It could be in the future of this country - God forbid. His name is Abdul el-Sayed. He's a 32 year old medical doctor with links to the American Muslim Brotherhood who just began his campaign for governor of Michigan, the election for which will be in November 2018. That would make him the first US Muslim governor. He speaks very well with no accent and is very well polished in the mannerisms, countenance, and all the "inclusiveness and diversity" which has been taken to a degree that destroys "individualism" which in turn will destroy our sovereignty and nation. He has the same far left ideology with, of course, the same "oneness feel good" destructive jargon that draws the very naive leftists in like magnets. However, very much unlike Obama, he has some accomplishments such as being health director for the city of Detroit and other similar good deeds in the health field. He said that he is running "because of the values my Islam teaches me." That he says includes all the values that everyone says - being respectful and doing good for others and human rights that's not always - to say the least - in compliance with the Koran.  It's the usual rhetoric. In the end, no matter what angle you come in from Islam and the US founding principles that are based on the Bible are Incompatible and will not change. I believe in heading off a problem before it starts. As the adage says "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." And that will save many pounds of cure - to say the least. That is why I'm making this known now and hope it is passed on as much as possible. We don't need another Obama. God forbid.

Trump has a strategy for destroying the

 Attack Piece on VP Makes Media Look Silly 
7T1Ry_J9tJnz7BsiiQTD49eMJtFFztqCDOdD0YpKjb8nBoJOQLkJKuJGodBmUKzC0UfEde7hUpga3gNDxgsyTR_MRjkIK_AFCoRa5651YmxYfl5ZC2uyvZrBr9g18A=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Vice President Mike Pence is a man of deeply held Christian convictions, which makes him a target of the Left. Pence is also a man who understands both human nature and the world of politics. For the Leftmedia, Donald Trump is an easy target to criticize with his off-the-cuff and hyperbolically styled Twitter comments geared for reaching the common man, not the Beltway establishment. But for the Left, Pence proves to be an entirely different challenge.
          Pence is both careful in his speech and actions. He is a committed conservative with a distinguished, scandal-free record. As a former U.S. congressman and governor Indiana, he knows Washington well, from both the inside and the outside. Because of this, Pence arguably scares Democrats and the Leftmedia more than Trump does.
          What does the Left do when its afraid? Like a cornered animal it attacks. On Friday, Vox published a story by Joanna Grossman accusing Pence of violating Title VII laws against sex discrimination. Grossman based her spurious allegation on Pence's personal rule of not dining one-on-one with a woman who is not his wife. Stop the presses! Oh, the humanity! Sound the "scandal" alarm!
          Or, to put it in The Babylon Bee's satire parlance, "Bill liar-Clinton Calls Mike Pence's Strict Marital Practices 'Excessive.'"
          Grossman, an employment lawyer, first misconstrued the vice president's personal decisions as somehow being motivated by a desire to discriminate against women. Therefore, she declared it "illegal" and concluded with this convoluted statement: "We have a president who brags about grabbing women by the pussy — and a vice president who won't even have dinner with them. These are two sides of the same coin, both reflecting the fundamentally unequal sphere working women inhabit because of male behavior."
          Call us crazy, but we're pretty certain that the vast majority of married woman would not find it appropriate for their husbands to regularly dine out one-on-one with other woman. It's not Pence who is out of touch with American values, it's the Leftmedia.

{rickwells.us} ~ Former liar-nObama National Security Adviser and espionage agent, Susan Rice, has been exposed as one of the high level participants in the White House Spy and Smear Operation against Republicans, particularly President Trump and his team... That revelation and the associated abuse of power and crimes against the American people, makes her denial of any knowledge in the events that she’s been a leading participant last Wednesday particularly interesting. It was one component of what was obviously a coordinated effort to put out the fires of discovery lit by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes and by President Trump in his March 4th tweets about liar-nObama wiretapping. The effort to counter the escaping truth involved Amazon billionaire and owner of the Washington Post, Jeff Bezos, publicly funded PBS, the Marxist Democrats, the liar-nObama crime syndicate and the deep state that supports them. The notorious liar, Susan Rice, wrote an article which was published Tuesday evening, March 21st.  It was an obvious attempt to calm things down, to make the attention that the Democrats were themselves largely responsible for stirring up through their Russia – Trump hoax fade...  http://rickwells.us/rice-cant-lie-way-washington-post-pbs-offensive-make-obvious/

White House to unveil new
liar-nObamacare repeal deal Tuesday
by Robert King
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The White House is expected to release the text of a new proposal on Tuesday that would give states the power to opt out of certain liar-nObamacare insurance mandates... in a major attempt to revive liar-nObamacare repeal as early as this week. Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., chairman of the Freedom Caucus, told reporters after meeting with Vice President Mike Pence and White House officials that he expects the text of the new compromise on Tuesday. But Meadows seemed doubtful on whether the House would vote this week before adjourning Thursday for the two-week Easter recess. "Everybody would love to have this bill passed tomorrow if at all possible, but to put a timeline on that would set an expectation that is not realistic based on the drafting," he said...  http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/white-house-to-unveil-new-obamacare-repeal-deal-tuesday/article/2619256?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20Breaking%20News&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20Breaking%20News%20-%2004/03/17&utm_medium=email

{truthrevolt.org} ~ A deadly suicide bombing occurred on Monday inside a moving metro train in St. Petersburg the same day Russia President Vladimir Putin was speaking at an event... At least 11 people are dead and 50 have been injured. According to multiple reports, a nail bomb was detonated inside the train and another explosive device was found disguised as a fire extinguisher inside a nearby station. That bomb was defused and caused no further injuries. Police suspect terrorism and have named a 23-year-old local man, Jamal, as the suspect. Jamal, who hails from an “ex-Soviet Central Asian nation” is suspected of close links to Islamic terrorists and an image of him in a red jacket, glasses, and green beanie has been released. There were early reports of a second jihadist, but now authorities believe only one was involved. Even though it has yet to be tied to a specific group, ISIS reportedly celebrated the bombing:...  http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/russia-train-bombing-claims-11-lives-injures-50-isis-warned-russia-will-burn

Sessions DOJ Now Targeting H-1B Visa
Abusing Employers Who Put Americans Out Of Work

{rickwells.us} ~ Senator Jeff Sessions was always a champion of American workers and forcefully voiced his opposition to the abuses of work visas that regularly occur and which are used to displace Americans for their jobs... and the workforce in favor of cheap foreign labor. President Trump, while campaigning and since has pledge to eliminate visa abuse as part of putting Americans first and Sessions, as Attorney General, has been expected to lead that effort. Now there appears to be movement in that direction, something that could pay huge dividends for Americans seeking employment in STEM fields for which they are trained but unable to find work. The first steps are being taken for the establishment of consequences for reprehensible employers who put bottom line ahead of what is legal and best for the nation and for a review of the work visa process. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services announced on Monday that they will initiate steps targeting H-1B abusers and the prevention of abuse and fraud related to the H-1B visa program...

{dailysignal.com} ~ Anthony J. Saliba is no shrinking violet. As a prominent Chicago financier as well as a trustee of the nation’s leading conservative think tank, he has seen his share of rough-and-tumble battles... But Tony Saliba hadn’t ever seen a crude effigy of himself paraded around, one that represented him a puppeteer manipulating the president of the United States. Until recently at a landmark of Chicago’s financial district, anyway. That’s when 100 to 200 protesters, depending on who is counting, descended on the Bank of America Building on South LaSalle Street, in effect looking for Saliba. His business offices are on an upper floor of the 45-floor structure...

Trump has a strategy for destroying the
Islamic State --- and it's working

by Kori Schake
{jewishworldreview.com} ~
Defeating the Islamic State was candidate Trump's top national-security priority, one of the few policy issues on which he was consistent.

While his claim to have a secret plan -- and that keeping it secret was good strategy -- was risible to national security experts, his policy goals were and are consistent.

American effort should focus on fighting the Islamic State. Regime change to push Bashar al-Assad out of power was not only a lesser objective, but counterproductive to a stable end-state for Syria that prevents terrorism and too costly given Russia and Iran's support for the regime.

Stability is to be prioritized over humanitarian relief or democracy promotion. Russia is to be palliated, their interests supported.

He proclaimed that "we are going to convey my top generals and give them a simple instruction. They will have 30 days to submit to the Oval Office a plan for soundly and quickly defeating ISIS." While strictly speaking that deadline has passed without apparent formal approval, the Departments of State and Defense have indeed been prioritizing defeating the Islamic State.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson made his first big international event the gathering of the coalition fighting the Islamic State, reinforcing the president's twin messages that it is the administration's top national-security priority, and that "the United States will increase our pressure on ISIS and al Qaeda and will work to establish interim zones of stability, through ceasefires, to allow refugees to return home."

Secretary of Defense James Mattis met early with Middle Eastern partners and has taken a number of decisions that look to strengthen forces in the fight: increasing the number of American servicemen and women in Iraq and Syria, reinterpreting the advise-and-assist mission to put U.S. forces closer to the front, parachuting U.S. forces in to sever routes around Mosul, getting presidential approval for greater delegation of authority for operations, and further delegating that authority to commanders.

To many observers, the emerging approach looks like the liar-nObama strategy only better resourced. This is especially true of Democrats, but not only -- conservative stalwarts Kimberly and Fred Kagan make the same criticism in their American Enterprise Institute report on Syria.

I have the sense the administration actually is making a departure from the liar-nObama approach, and sees bigger game afoot. The White House may not yet have formally agreed on an anti-Islamic State strategy, but their incremental choices are adding up to a coherent approach that departs from the liar-nObama approach in four important ways.

First, they are prioritizing speed. President liar-nObama's strategy envisioned a years-long campaign to defeat the Islamic State. While that approach had the advantage of affixing responsibility for outcomes on the countries of the region and incentivized them to develop the governing capacity essential to stabilizing the territory once regained, it paid the very steep price of humanitarian disaster for Iraqis and Syrians in the Islamic State's control, escalating pressure on surrounding governments taking in refugees and buffeted by violence, decimation of moderate opposition within Syria, further radicalization within Western societies, and disaffection for our efforts by publics in the region.

As Tillerson said, "Our end goal in this phase is the regional elimination of ISIS through military force." The choices President Trump has made are dramatically picking up the pace of operations. So much so that some have begun to worry we will be the victims of battlefield success, winning before we have stabilization alliances and forces in place.

Second, they are committing the United States to a long-term involvement. President liar-nObama prioritized minimization -- leaving responsibility for the victory and subsequent stabilization on local allies. He patronizingly said "we can't want it more than they do," as though desire and capacity were one and the same, turned a cold shoulder on both territory and governance slipping away from Baghdad. By contrast, Mattis and Joint Chiefs chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford both said flat out in congressional testimony that unlike the liar-nObama administration's accelerated withdrawal from the region, after the Islamic State fight concludes, the United States would leave troops in Iraq for a long period of time. Signaling our commitment to outcomes rather than imposing arbitrary timelines is a significant change in approach, one providing desperately needed assurance to those who share our objectives.

Third, they are clear about the priority being assisting the countries we want to win the wars now underway. The White House is less conflicted than the liar-nObama administration about authoritarian tendencies, civilian casualties, and domestic human rights records of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and other countries fighting insurgent upheavals and Iranian destabilization in the Middle East. They have unambiguously chosen a side in the fight. And while that will create qualms among many about the domestic and warfighting choices of those countries, strategy is impossible without setting priorities. Stable states working with us to stamp out terrorism is this administration's priority for the Middle East. As Tillerson said at the coalition meeting, "When everything is a priority, nothing is a priority. We must continue to keep our focus on the most urgent matter at hand."

Fourth, they are laying the foundation for an anti-Iran coalition once the Islamic State problem has been solved. While making concessions on many things, the liar-nObama administration had been inflexible or unclear as to the basis for compromise with regional allies that had been stymieing our campaign to defeat Islamic State. While the Trump administration does not yet appear to have found a formula for agreement with Turkey over the role of Kurdish forces in retaking Raqqa, on most other issues they do appear to have reached consensus with regional allies. The pivot to pushing back on Iran may come as an unwelcome surprise to the NATO allies and others gathered around Tillerson in Washington last week, but it is a shrewd positioning.

And another way to describe shrewd positioning is good strategy.

Trump Just Discovered What Obama Secretly Handed Hillary Just Prior to Election Night – This is Treason

Throughout the election, Hillary and Obama played extremely dirty in their political efforts to secure Hillary’s White House bid. Hilariously, even with their massive voter fraud, bogus polls, foreign donors, and illegally spying on Trump, they were still helpless to prevent the Trump Train from disemboweling the entire Democratic Party during the November election. Now we’re learning about the nasty thing Obama secretly handed Hillary on election night that is nothing short of treason.

In a breaking report, GOP senator Chuck Grassley reveals that Obama gave Hillary unfettered access to classified documents at the State Department throughout her campaign, but it didn’t stop there. The access shockingly continued even after the FBI determined that Hillary has been  “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”

Grassley revealed that Hillary had specifically asked Obama for access, where her negotiation efforts were then rewarded with full access to classified documents for herself and all of her staff… even though her time as Secretary of State was complete.

“I have repeatedly asked the State Department whether Secretary Clinton and her associates had their clearances suspended or revoked, to which the Obama administration refused to respond,” Grassley wrote. “Recently, the State Department informed the committee that six additional Secretary Clinton staff at State were designated as her research assistants which allowed them to retain their clearances after leaving the Department.”

The implications for Obama, Hillary and her staff on a normal planet would’ve been huge, as Grassley said that any other government workers engaging in such a serious offense would at the BARE MINIMUM have their security clearances suspended, and then undergo a full investigation. He went on to say that Hillary getting off scot-free gives the public the impression that “Clinton and her associates received special treatment.”

Hillary’s lame ass excuse was so that she could make sure her memoir was “accurate.” No kidding. That is the reason these sensitive documents were put into the hands of Hillary Clinton, the very person the FBI ruled was “extremely careless” with how she continuously handles America’s top secrets.

Yet again, Barack Hussein Obama is once caught up in his treasonous antics. We should all thank our lucky stars that this woman didn’t get into office, as America no doubt dodged a bullet with refusing to elect this wench as President of the United States!
