Calls for U.S. Imam’s Arrest Following Brazen Anti-Semitic Sermon

( Muslims do not assimilate! they infiltrate! )


A chorus of evangelical leaders, Jewish groups and national security experts are calling for the arrest of an imam for inciting violence against Jews during a July 21 sermon he delivered at his mosque in northern California.

In a sermon last Friday, the Egyptian-born imam Ammar Shahin of the Islamic Center of Davis, or ICD, cited an anti-Semitic hadith, prayed for annihilation of the Jews, then called for liberating al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem “from their filth.”

A pro-Israel, evangelical Christian leader issued a statement Wednesday calling upon the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to immediately shut down the ICD and arrest its imam, Ammar Shahin, after a video of a sermon given by Shahin surfaced on YouTube.

In the video, initially presented by Middle East Media Research Institute, Shahin is seen praying for death to Jews everywhere:

Laurie Cardoza-Moore, an evangelical Christian who is president of the pro-Israel group Proclaiming Justice to the Nations, said Shahin is “a ticking time-bomb that should not be permitted to hide behind a veil of so-called religious freedom to promote genocide against Jews.” (Read more from “Calls for U.S. Imam’s Arrest Following Brazen Anti-Semitic Sermon” HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/07/calls-u-s-imams-arrest-following-brazen-anti-semitic-sermon/

Friday, July 28, 2017
The murder rate in Chicago and Baltimore continues to climb. Hollywood and the radical left are outraged that President Donald Trump would ban transgendered people from the military. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) lied to the American people and voted against repealing socialist healthcare, effectively killing a chance of repeal for now. The House Intelligence Committee now says that the previous Administration unmasked the names of hundreds of US citizens who were spied upon to "achieve partisan political purposes." News reports claim tremendous in-fighting at the White House. A Democratic Minnesota State Rep wants to disarm police. All this news is a reflection of the darkness in our society.
 
We live in a society where the top TV shows depict homosexuality, violence, murder, and sexual content as normal. Our children are bombarded with agendas all day, everyday. Video games are increasingly violent and sexual, filling young minds with dark concepts and desires that are beyond the thought of many, if not most, parents. The nightly news is filled with murders, kidnappings, thefts, political corruption and liberal brainwashing. The government has made it so difficult to make a living because of taxes, regulations, political pressures that the two-income family is not only the norm, but folks are looked down upon if both husband and wife do not have "careers." This leaves the care of children to someone else.
 
Yes, society is a mess. The examples are evident. Guns don't kill people, people do. Homosexuality wouldn't destroy lives if homosexuals didn't practice it. Abortion wouldn't kill a single baby if doctors didn't perform them on willing mothers convinced there is no other way. Suicide would not take one life, if the person didn't commit it. I know these are oversimplifications, but it is true. We all have personal responsibility for our actions-either constructive or destructive. Life is not sterile labels that cause us to do things. It is our responsibility unto God to do what is right. If we do well, and engage society with true righteousness, things can ultimately change for the better.
 
Jesus said in Matthew 7:21-23, "Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." It is not your pastor, or your best friend, or someone else who is going to stand before the Lord in your place. It is you. We will all be held personally accountable for our lives here on earth. If we are salt and light, overcome evil with good, and share the good news, our light in this present darkness may become the solution to much of society's problems.  
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

In Video, Planned Parenthood Medical Chief Tells How to Get Around Ban on Partial-Birth Abortion

A new undercover video shows a top physician at a Planned Parenthood affiliate discussing how her organization routinely circumvents federal law regulating certain late-term abortions.

In the latest hidden-camera video from the Center for Medical Progress, Dr. Suzie Prabhakaran, vice president of medical affairs for Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida, talks about using a “checkbox” to get around the 2003 law banning partial-birth abortion.

In the video, released Thursday as the Senate again debates defunding the nation’s largest abortion provider, Prabhakaran speaks with investigators from the pro-life group posing as buyers of fetal tissue from a biotech company.

Prabhakaran is seen explaining that to circumvent federal law against partial-birth abortions—in which the unborn baby is extracted partway and then killed—Planned Parenthood doctors document their intent either to perform a dismemberment abortion or to use a feticide such as digoxin, which kills the baby beforehand.

“Every time you do a procedure, that’s how you document,” Prabhakaran says at 4:02 on the video. “So, like, there’s like a checkbox … So before the procedure, you do your evaluation, you write: ‘I intend to utilize dismemberment techniques for this procedure.’”

The video was shot at a Planned Parenthood conference in Orlando, Florida, according to the Center for Medical Progress, a nonprofit that has released a series of undercover videos targeting the organization’s ethics and morality in the past two years.

In it, Prabhakaran explains that her affiliate is merging with a Planned Parenthood clinic in Orlando that performs abortions up to 22 weeks and six days into a pregnancy. She says the clinic does a high volume of procedures, with “18 abortions at 18 weeks and above scheduled for the next week,” according to a Center for Medical Progress press release.

By marking a box showing intent to perform a dismemberment abortion, in which the baby is removed in pieces, and not use the deadly digoxin, Parabhakaran says at 5:52 in the video, “I’m not doing digoxin, and we’re just gonna document and there’s never been a problem.”

In a clip from an earlier video, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, senior director of medical services for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, is seen saying at 3:12 that “laws are up to interpretation.”

“So there are some people who interpret [the partial-birth abortion ban] as, it’s intent,” Nucatola says. “So if I say on Day One I do not intend to do this, what ultimately happens doesn’t matter.”

The Planned Parenthood Federation of America, which issued a press release attacking Republicans’ “skinny repeal” of Obamacare, did not respond to The Daily Signal’s requests for comment on the video.

Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., tweeted:

David Daleiden, head of the Center for Medical Progress, said in a press release that “the fact that Planned Parenthood has a ‘dismemberment checkbox’ on their abortion forms should tell the public and policymakers everything they need to know about this barbaric abortion business.”

In response to the group’s latest hidden-camera video, Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, said in a press release that the nation’s “forced complicity in this atrocity must end.”

Dannenfelser added:

We urge our pro-life allies in the Senate to watch this video today and refresh their resolve to ensure that any health care reform legislation includes provisions to redirect Planned Parenthood’s tax dollars to community health centers and also rolls back Obamacare’s abortion expansion.

Abortion is not health care, and pro-life grassroots elected a pro-life House, Senate, and White House in 2016 expecting these victories. Congress must send a bill defunding Planned Parenthood and undoing the damage of Obamacare to President Trump’s desk for his signature.

I Was Once Transgender. Why I Think Trump Made the Right Decision for the Military.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump tweeted that he wouldn’t allow transgender individuals to serve in the military:

I think he made the right decision—and as someone who lived as trans-female for several years, I should know.

When I discovered Congress voted earlier this month to not block funding for transgender-related hormone therapies and sex change surgeries, I wondered if it considered how devastating this will be to the fitness, readiness, and morale of our combat-ready troops.

In July, the House of Representatives voted down Missouri Republican Rep. Vicky Hartzler’s amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, which would have banned the military from funding such treatments.

Paying for transition-related surgeries for military service members and their families is beyond comprehensible.

Perhaps they have forgotten that our military was forged to be the world’s strongest fighting force, not a government-funded, politically correct, medical sex change clinic for people with gender dysphoria.

Gender dysphoria, the common diagnosis for one who feels at odds with his or her birth gender, develops from prolonged anxiety and depression. People are not born that way.

The “proof” for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria is having strongly held feelings—but feelings can and often do change over time.

The military is expected to prepare its members in warfare: to kill, destroy, and break our enemies. The most important factors in preparing a strong military are not hormone therapy, surgical sex changes, or politically correct education.

We need psychologically fit, emotionally sound, highly trained troops to protect our nation from its enemies.

While countless homeless vets are currently sleeping under cardboard boxes, or waiting for life-saving care from the Department of Veterans Affairs, we learn that transgender military recruits now qualify for preferential coverage for sex change procedures that are scientifically unproven and extremely costly.

I myself was fully sex-reassigned from male to female, and eventually came to accept my birth gender.

I have over 70 years of firsthand life experience, eight years of living as a woman, 20 years of researching the topic, and 12 years of helping others who, like me, found that transitioning and reassignment surgery failed to be proper treatment and want to restore their lives to their birth gender.

Costly, but Not Effective

Transitioning can be expensive—up to $130,000 per person for numerous body-mutilating and cosmetic procedures over many months (or years) to fashion the body to appear as the opposite sex.

Yet, no matter how skilled the surgeon, or how much money is spent, it is biologically impossible to change a man into a woman or a woman into a man. The change is only cosmetic.

The medical community continues to recommend this radical “treatment” in the absence of scientific evidence that people are better off in the long run. This population attempts suicide at a rate of 40 percent.

Even after the full surgical change, they attempt to end their lives, or tragically succeed.

Over 60 percent of this diverse population suffer from co-existing mental disorders. Consider Bradley Manning (now Chelsea Manning), a former Army soldier who was so psychologically and emotionally unbalanced that he stole confidential documents from the military and forwarded them to WikiLeaks.

The Military Is a Fighting Force, Not a Gender Clinic

The military should not provide sex change surgery.

Through my website, sexchangeregret.com, I hear from people who experienced firsthand how damaging and unnecessary reassignment surgeries were. For them, the sex change failed to resolve the emotional and psychological disorders that drove the desire to change gender.

Many write after living the transgender life for years. They write to ask for advice on how to reverse the original surgical change and restore their lives to the original birth gender like I did, a process called detransition.

Some service members will come to regret having undergone the surgery and will want to detransition. Where will the military be then? Will the military pay for the sex change reversal procedure, too?

Failed “sex change surgeries” are not uncommon and will drive up the cost to care for the military transgender population above the projected $3-4 billion 10-year cost.

Beyond the financial cost, there’s the question of the service member’s military readiness during their transition or detransition, as the process often comes with a great deal of anxiety and emotional instability.

I know of many who have struggled to adapt to the new gender role for years after reassignment surgery.

In my view, as a former trans-female who works every day with regretters, allowing the military to pay for sex change surgeries will make a mockery of the U.S. military.

Advocates are relentless in their pursuit of making others, via the government and insurance companies, cover the cost of sex change procedures.

If the military had been forced to pay, the advocates would have used this as leverage to press every other entity—both government and commercial—to pay for sex change surgeries as well.

As a person who lived the transgender life for eight years, I can attest that assisting, affirming, or paying for hormone therapies and genital mutilation surgeries would not have strengthened our military. They would only have brought adverse long-term consequences, both for individuals and for our armed forces as a whole. (For more from the author of “I Was Once Transgender.

{dailywire.com} ~ On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. Military "will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity," citing the "tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgenders... in the military would entail."

"Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail."

The PA passed a formal government resolution in 2011 awarding all Palestinian prisoners in Israel jails monthly salaries for security and terror-related offenses. Aid money given yearly to the PA from the United States, Europe and other countries contributes to these salaries.

{clarionproject.org} ~ The Trump Administration still hasn’t designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization as it was expected to do... Designation falls under the purview of Secretary of State Tillerson, who has chosen the Muslim Brotherhood and its backers in Qatar and Turkey over their Arab rivals. His main point is that the Brotherhood’s political parties have representatives in governments like those in Bahrain and Turkey. That is irrelevant. If it was such a problem, Bahrain itself wouldn’t have banned the Brotherhood and the U.S. wouldn’t be dealing with the Lebanese government that has Hezbollah in it, which is designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Tillerson also repeated the “non-violent” and “moderate” Muslim Brotherhood propaganda. He claimed that the Brotherhood’s political parties in governments “have become so by renouncing violence and terrorism.” That was false when the liar-nObama Administration said it, and it is false now... https://clarionproject.org/secretary-state-disappoints-muslim-brotherhood-qatar/

{
townhall.com} ~ “I can hear someone out back and I, I’m not sure if she’s having sex or being raped,” Justine Damond told a Minneapolis, MN police dispatcher at 11:27 p.m. on July 15. Eight minutes passed. No squad car. She re-dialed 911.

Minutes earlier, Damond had been awakened from sleep by a female’s chilling scream. The sound was particularly startling in a neighborhood known for low crime and peaceful streets. After calling the police, Damond called her fiancé and said the sound seemed to be coming from a neighbor’s garage.

Damond’s heart was too big to crawl back in bed when she sensed another woman hurting nearby. Her first instinct was always to help. A few weeks earlier, she had jumped—barefoot—into a drain to rescue a flock of eight ducklings. A personal coach, she spent her days trying to uplift others. So it probably didn’t occur to her that she could be in more danger than the owner of the scream.

When two officers eventually pulled into the alleyway behind her home, Damond walked toward the squad car window to greet them—still wearing her pajamas.

A bullet tore through her abdomen. The cop she had called for help had shot her.

Officer Mohamed Noor had reached across his partner, Officer Matthew Harrity, from the passenger seat to fire the shot. Noor’s aim was true. By 12:45 a.m., the 40-year-old Australian-American woman with blond hair, green eyes and a megawatt smile was dead.

The Sound of Silence

One year ago in Minnesota, a Hispanic police officer named Jeronimo Yanez shot an African American man named Philando Castile in self-defense. “I thought I was going to die. I had no choice,” Yanez testified at his trial for second-degree manslaughter.

A jury found Yanez not guilty on all counts.

But Yanez’ foremost crime for which no jury could ever clear him was that he was not black and he had killed a black man. Despite research showing that black suspects are killed more often by a black officer than a white officer, the Minneapolis community—and national Black Lives Matter movement—erupted in rage.

“I think he was just black in the wrong place,” Castile’s mother Valerie said after her son’s death. Anger is understandable after a loved one dies. But it’s wrong to let one’s anger blind the facts and conclude that every black who dies at the hands of a non-black cop is killed out of racism and that whites never experience racism.

Unfortunately, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton made those presumptions. Following Castile’s death, Gov. Dayton declared: “Would this have happened if … the driver and passenger would have been white? I don’t think it would.”

Black Lives Matter took a cue from Gov. Dayton’s words. At 10:30 p.m. on the night of Yanez’ acquittal, some 2,000 people took to the streets of Minneapolis. They shut down a major highway, Interstate I-94, and wouldn’t budge for hours. Violence and destruction—not peace—was the hallmark of the protest. At least 21 Minnesota police officers were injured by protesters and hundreds of arrests were made at similar protests nationwide.

But when a black officer shot a white woman—an officer with three separate open investigations into his behavior who violated police rules by shutting off his body camera; by shooting across his partner; and by shooting in the absence of a reasonable threat—you could practically hear crickets chirping.

That is, until Gov. Dayton broke the silence by prematurely siding with Noor and stating that his behavior is not indicative of a “trigger-happy” police force.

Perhaps Gov. Dayton was emulating President liar-nObama, who did the same thing in 2012. Before anyone knew the facts, President liar-nObama rushed to a public microphone and declared an African American teenager named Trayvon Martin “my son.”

We soon learned from eyewitness accounts and expert forensic testimony that Martin was not as innocent as liar-nObama’s I Am Your Father speech made him sound. On the evening of February 28, 2012, Martin had pummeled a Hispanic man named George Zimmerman in an MMA-style “ground and pound” mount and reached for Zimmerman’s gun while shouting “You’re going to die tonight!” before Zimmerman shot Martin in self-defense.

The selective silence of Black Lives Matter a group that purports to fight police violence—and the ridiculous comments of Gov. Dayton—in the wake of Damond’s death are alarming. Because, rather than promoting peace, Black Lives Matter and Gov. Dayton appear to be fostering racism.

Justice for Justine

We still need to hear all the facts of this case. But the key fact is that an innocent woman died while she was trying to help another woman. And next to no one seems to care. Because she happened to be white and her killer happened to be black.

The Minneapolis Police Department and Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges fast-tracked Noor as part of the City’s “diversity” efforts and goals. But no city in America should have to accept ill-qualified persons into its police force in order to fulfill diversity goals.

May Justine Damond’s tragic death ultimately be a tribute to her life by reminding us that political correctness can be fatally destructive. To save lives, we must seek the truth in every story.

A New Low in Public Education

By Craig Andresen – Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

In the politically correct society, which is being shoved down our throats daily by liberals, a few things have tn-1.jpg?width=179become commonplace…like participation trophies.

These are the trophies handed out like candy on Halloween to kids who simply show up at any given competition because we just can’t have only the winners getting some sort of an award…it hurts the feelings of the losers, and yes liberals, in life there are winners, and there are most certainly losers.

As adults, even in jobs that require the wearing of paper hats, one is expected to perform whatever task they’re assigned to a certain level…which means that flipping a burger when it is half done cooking is considered winning, while slapping said slab of meat on a bun half raw, is considered…losing.

Or at least, that should be the case, but…

{rickwells.us} ~ With many calling for Attorney General Sessions to resign, Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton would like to see AG Sessions remain in his post... un-recuse himself and become more aggressive in the pursuit of justice in some key, prominent areas.

He’s asked by Trish Regan, “Why is it that Jeff Sessions isn’t being more aggressive?” Fitton points to the key impediment to his exercising his duties, saying, “Because he’s recused himself from this key rule of law issue, which is the investigation of what went on during the liar-nObama administration with respect to how it handled the liar-Clinton investigations.”...http://rickwells.us/jws-fitton-sessions-un-recuse-lead-doj-control-rogue-mueller/

{theresurgent.com} ~ Last night, nine Republicans joined all 48 Democrats to kill the GOP’s healthcare plan. It was a wide ranging mixture of liberal, moderate, and conservative Republicans voting with the Democrats... This is just another sign that Mitch McConnell’s strategy is disastrous for Republicans. Even John RINO-McCain, who voted to allow debate to go forward, blasted the process for being secretive. The GOP will not now be able to repeal liar-nObamacare and they will no longer even try, despite Democrats’ hysterical claims to the contrary. What they will do is get rid of the individual mandate and probably the medical device tax, but they will leave the rest of liar-nObamacare in place. The reality is that despite some blathering from lying hacks, liar-nObamacare will remain the law of the land and not be repealed. McConnell has no real plan and no longer has the trust of his conference to develop a unified plan... http://theresurgent.com/the-senate-kills-the-gops-healthcare-plan-for-now/O:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_BJEzoQ6Ko

{lidblog.com} ~ In a big twofer this week, Russia is simultaneously hosting the first Chinese naval task group ever to conduct exercises in the Baltic Sea, and bringing the last surviving Typhoon ballistic missile submarine into the Baltic... for an unprecedented visit by an SSBN. The Baltic got so lucky because it’s ground zero for the Russia-NATO theater-level confrontation right now, and has been for the last two-to-three years. The timing is due to the celebration of Russia’s Navy Day — on 30 July — and the association of Russian naval tradition with the bases in the Baltic Sea (Kronshtadt, St. Petersburg). Most of the tactical Russia-NATO confrontations have been in the form of unsafe maneuvers by Russian warplanes around NATO planes and ships.  Russia has also made a show of operationalizing her Iskander short-range missiles in the Kaliningrad enclave in the Baltic, and conducting an increasing number of military exercises on the borders of Finland and the Baltic Republics, as well as deploying forces to Belarus...http://lidblog.com/russia-show-force/

{rickwells.us} ~
The noose keeps tightening around Democrat Rep Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), two dozen of her fellow anti-American Democrats, and the key to the Pakistani spy ring they enabled, Imran Awan. The Pakistani being investigated for espionage was arrested on Monday trying to flee the country.

There was a large cash transfer on January 18th in the amount of $283,000, which had been wired from a House office building to two persons inside Pakistan. The Daily Caller obtained a 10-page affidavit which stated, “On January 18, 2017 at 12:09 pm, an international wire transfer request form was submitted [at the Congressional Federal Credit Union] at the Longworth House Office Building in the District of Columbia, in the amount of $283,000.00, to two individuals in Faisalabad, Pakistan.”

That transfer is believed to be tied to the Awan brothers who worked for, or at least drew a check for working for and had access to the computers of those two dozen Democrat House members. All of their email information was an open book to the Pakistanis, including those of Rep Andre Carson (D-IN) who occupies space on the House Intelligence Committee.

Despite the Awan brothers currently being under investigation for espionage against the United States,  Imran is still employed by Wasserman Schultz. She’s also obstructing the Capitol Police from accessing information on her own laptop that  could prove damaging to her “employee.”

Hard drives that were smashed in the typical Democrat style that were, along with using Bleachbit, made infamous by liar-Hillary Clinton, were reported nationally on Sunday, the day before Imran ran to Dulles and was intercepted.

Awan had a ticket to Pakistan by way of Qatar and $12,000 cash on his person at the time of his arrest. The affidavit says he was charged with bank fraud, which is likely a placeholder for future charges, necessitated by his attempt to flee the country.

One of his enablers and possible co-conspirators, Rep Gregory Meeks of New York, has staunchly defended the accused spies. He charged, moronically, that police had framed the Islamist brothers due to their Islamophobia. Everybody knows how redneck those small town “white privileged” DC cops are.

A spokesperson for the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, Bill Miller, told the Daily Caller that Awan “was arraigned today in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on one count of bank fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1344. He pled not guilty and was released pursuant to a high-intensity supervision program.”

He described the conditions of his Awan’s release as his wearing of a GPS monitor, adherence to a 10 pm to 6 am curfew, and that he not travel outside a 50-mile radius of his Virginia residence. He was also ordered to surrender all of his passports. A request for comment from Wasserman Schultz received no response.

Schultz might want to terminate his services now, and let the police open the laptop before she’s charged as well.

{rickwells.us} ~ The Justice Department made it official on Tuesday with their announcement that sanctuary cities will not be receiving grant money... Only those cities which allow immigration officials jail access and notification of potential deportees being released will receive funding awards. The funds are generally used for a variety of needs, such as bulletproof vests and body cameras. In announcing the policy, Attorney General Sessions stated, “So-called ‘sanctuary’ policies make all of us less safe because they intentionally undermine our laws and protect illegal aliens who have committed crimes. These policies also encourage illegal immigration and even human trafficking by perpetuating the lie that in certain cities, illegal aliens can live outside the law.” Sessions cited the example of the recent death of ten illegals in the back of a semi-truck in San Antonio as an example of the potential impact of sanctuary policies, that they “can have tragic consequences.”... http://rickwells.us/sessions-doj-imposes-new-cooperation-mandates-cutting-grants-sanctuary-cities/

They’re also purging it from other official documents, according to human rights activists and other attorneys. Democrats are also delaying the confirmation of Mark Green, as they do with every pick, President Trump’s choice to head the US Agency for International Development.

By Paul Albaugh:  Donald Trump has been president for six months now and if you listen to Democrats and the Leftmedia, you might conclude that he and the Republican-controlled Congress are destroying America. But perhaps there is no better indicator of Trump's performance thus far as president than to hear Democrats rail about how terrible a job he has done and how horrific his policies are.
          Democrats remain dumbfounded at his election and they're even more confused that the last four special elections ended with Republican victories. Their "progressive" proposals and the millions of dollars they've wasted on campaigns haven't worked.
          That said, at least Chuck clown-Schumer has enough sense to tell liar-Hillary Clinton to stop blaming everyone else. "When you lose to somebody who has 40% popularity, you don't blame other things — Comey, Russia — you blame yourself," clown-Schumer said. "And the number one thing that we did wrong is ... we didn't tell people what we stood for."
          So, this week, Democrats introduced their "Better Deal" for America. But you'd be forgiven for thinking it sounds just like everything they've been saying for 80 years. As Jonah Goldberg quipped, "I mean, the word 'Deal' is hardly subtle."
          Their beloved highness Nancy Pulosi wrote an opinion piece in The Washington Post to lay out this supposedly better deal. Predictably, Pulosi starts by ripping Republicans for wanting to dismantle the (Un)Affordable Care Act, claiming that they're "trying to raise Americans' health costs to fund tax breaks for billionaires." Naturally, she leaves out the details of the Democrats' health care takeover. The mandate to buy health insurance policies that cover a long list of (often unwanted) required services caused premiums to skyrocket, squeezing the very voters she's trying to reach with this noxious class warfare.
          Trump wants liar-nObamaCare gone, though Senate Republicans failed to accomplish any meaningful repeal and so, for now, we're stuck with the Democrats' terrible law.
          Aside from this, Pulosi and her fellow Democrats are offering three empty slogans: better jobs, better wages and a better future. All of these sound like fantastic proposals for Americans, but the methods Democrats want to use to accomplish these goals are the same ideas that had the opposite effect and brought on the 2008 financial crisis.
          On jobs, Pulosi writes, "Democrats are pledging ourselves to the goal of creating good-paying, full-time jobs for 10 million more Americans in the next five years." When is the last time that a politician created a job? Government cannot create jobs without taking money from those who are already working in order to pay for it. Her proposal offers a new tax credit for companies that train and hire skilled workers and offer them a good wage (read: higher minimum wage). Aren't successful companies already doing this and without a tax credit?
          On better wages, beyond a higher, job-destroying $15/hour minimum wage, Pulosi wants government to crack down on large corporations and monopolies that she blames for Americans missing out on opportunities. Yet she calls for more of the same central planning that has never worked and never will work. In fact, to whip these large corporations into shape she wants tougher standards and even more regulations. Well, we just had eight years of excessive regulations and government standards, and such heavy-handed policy was the primary reason for the slowest decade of economic growth in our nation's history.
          On health care, Pulosi and her fellow Democrats want to take "unprecedented action to lower the costs of prescription drugs." Prescription drugs are far more expensive than they should be, but the biggest reason is — you guessed it — government regulation. But, as usual, rather than rein in the overbearing regulatory commissars at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Pulosi proposes doubling down. "We will leverage the power of Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices," she writes, "force drug manufacturers to open their books and justify cost increases, and create a strong, independent enforcement agency empowered to end outrageous and unjustified prescription drug price-gouging."
          Instead, the best way to reduce the cost of prescription drugs for consumers is to keep government out. Let the free market work the way it should and allow companies to compete for better prescription drugs and the costs will go down. Democrats won't hear of such things.
          Every proposal that Pulosi and the Democrat Party have is part of the same old socialist agenda that has already been tested and failed. They want more control over the economy, more regulations, more taxes to pay for their ideas and more power over Americans. That is the Democrats' vision for a "better" future. Nowhere in Pulosi's proposal are the ideas of less government, more freedom and more individual rights and responsibilities. Hers is the collectivist, statist vision that is the antithesis to what our Founders intended. And it is an agenda that will make America lose, not win.
          But hey, at least Pulosi didn't blame Vladimir Putin or James Comey.  ~The Patriot Post

Trump Says Lisa Murkowski ‘Really Let America Down’

President Donald Trump chastised Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R.-Alaska, Wednesday for two votes she cast Tuesday associated with health care reform legislation, asserting that she let down Republicans and “our country.”

“Senator @lisamurkowski of the Great State of Alaska really let the Republicans, and our country, down yesterday. Too bad!” Trump tweeted Wednesday morning.

Murkowski and one other Republican senator, Susan Collins of Maine, were the only GOP senators to vote with Democrats against a procedural measure to begin debate on the GOP’s proposed health care legislation.

Eight other Republicans joined Murkowski in a later vote against an amendment that would have repealed and replaced portions of Obamacare.

Republicans are utilizing a process known as reconciliation in their attempt to pass health care reform legislation, which allows most amendments to pass with only 50 votes.

However, the amendment Murkowski voted against Tuesday night required 60 votes since portions of it have not yet been scored by the Congressional Budget Office.

In response to Trump’s criticism, Murkowski said Wednesday that she is not concerned about the president damaging her prospects for reelection.

“Quite honestly, I don’t think it’s wise to be operating on a daily basis thinking about what, a statement or a response, that causes you to be fearful of your electoral prospects,” Murkowski said.

“We’re here to govern. We’re here to legislate. We’re here to represent the people that sent us here,” she added.

The Alaska Republican suggested that politicians should concern themselves with governing instead of always worrying about their reelection chances.

“Every day shouldn’t be about winning elections,” she said.

“How about just doing a little bit of governing around here? That’s what I’m here for.”

The Senate will consider other health care-related amendments prior to its August recess. (For more from the author of “Trump Says Lisa Murkowski ‘Really Let America Down'” please click HERE) http://joemiller.us/2017/07/trump-says-lisa-murkowski-let-america/

Authorities Searched Damond's Home; Law

Prof Believes That Could 'Cause An International Incident'
( this is how ,it is screw the AMERICAN do every think you can to protect the Muslim murderer so lets make the victim the problem!! )
 
July 25, 2017 06:18 PM
 
Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigators were granted permission to search Justine Damond's home hours after she was shot and killed by a Minneapolis police officer, according to court records.
 
A criminal law expert can't understand why.
 
RELATED: Search Warrants in Damond Shooting Indicate Woman Slapped Patrol Car
 
"I don't understand why they're looking for bodily fluids inside her home," said Joseph Daly, an emeritus professor at Mitchell Hamline School of Law, referring to one of two recently-released search warrant applications.
 
"Whose bodily fluids are they looking for? Is she a suspect? I don't understand why they're looking for controlled substances inside her home. I don't understand why they're looking for writings inside her home. The warrant does not explain that to me."
 
RELATED: Police Commander: Noor's File Contains No Red Flags
 
"When I read that search warrant, I really cannot find probable cause to search her home," he continued.
 
According to court documents, investigators applied for the warrant on the following grounds:
 
The property or things above-described was used as a means of committing a crime
The possession of the property or things above-described constitutes a crime.
The property or things above-described is in the possession of a person with intent to use such property as a means of committing a crime, or the property or things so intended to be used are in the possession of another to whom they have been delivered for the purpose of concealing them or preventing their being discovered.
The property or things above-described constitutes evidence which tends to show a crime has been committed, or tends to show that a particular person has committed a crime.
 
Asked if that means the BCA considers Damond to be a suspect, spokesperson Jill Oliveira replied via email:
 
RELATED: Timeline of Fatal SW Minneapolis Shooting
 
"No, an individual involved in the incident."
 
Daly, who said he has served as a visiting professor at the University of Queensland in Damond's native Australia, believes concerned members of the public in both countries will be outraged by the BCA's request to search the home.

{rickwells.us} ~ It’s no wonder, in fact it seems unavoidable, given the fact that these two dictatorial thugs were in charge of our intelligence... that there is a deep state firmly entrenched and that it is still working to serve the same establishment powers that were in control during the liar-nObama nightmare. CNN leftist Wolf Blitzer interviewed liar-nObama loyalists, former CIA Director John Brennan and DNI James “Not Wittingly” Clapper at the annual leftist, CFR, Neocon confab, the Aspen Security Forum. He quotes an accusatorial hypothetical by Nancy Pulosi, derisively aimed at President Trump, which asked, “What do the Russians have on Donald Trump, politically, personally or financially?” The short answer is, beyond reckless speculation that could be made about anyone, nothing. Put the shoe on another foot, what do the Russians have on Wolf Blitzer that makes him ask such defamatory and unsubstantiated questions about our President? What do the Saudis and Muslim Brotherhood have on John Brennan, Hussein liar-nObama, Robert Mueller and James Clapper to make them so anti-American, caliphate, Sharia and invasion friendly, so pro-Muslim Brotherhood?... http://rickwells.us/obama-cia-director-brennan-urges-coup-trump-clapper-approves/

Former House IT staffer Imran Awan was then arraigned in federal court in Washington, and he pleaded not guilty to one count of bank fraud following allegations he tried to defraud the Congressional Federal Credit Union. But he is suspected of much more, including the possible theft of sensitive information from the office computers of numerous Democratic Party lawmakers and sending that data to a secret server.

And my concern is the President really needs to stay focused on the staff that needs to go and the staff that doesn’t need to go.” Levin says, “I understand he’s upset that Sessions recused himself. But he will not get a better Attorney General than Jeff Sessions.” Levin says, “Jeff Sessions is solid, he has remained solid, Jeff Sessions is highly regarded in conservative circles and has been for three decades.” “He gave up his Senate slot, which he could have served in for the rest of his life if he had chosen, because the people of Alabama love Jeff Sessions, to serve this President. More than that, he was the first Senator to endorse this President. And one of his top staffers, Stephen Miller, is a top aide to the President and a trusted aide to the President.”...I agree with Levin. http://rickwells.us/levin-fears-president-trump-will-make-terrible-mistake-ousting-sessions/

 Reining in Civil Asset Forfeiture Abuse 
eVWHruRHDqCaOGbJSCvB0mAoqvwtRj5KIjiHGBOdwWC0ogH6ArrMZcTOCOBNEDeu6Pc5qC-vzBTwOXbG_1X8HxqWUXg-DXZA4JAHJbGcgjpNGrLZx0-5gbZevBztQQ=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=http
By Arnold Ahlert:  On Jan. 20, 2015, the federal government dropped its case against the Hirsch family and returned $446,000 in assets and cash seized by the IRS. The agreement required the Hirschs to pay their own legal fees and cleared the feds of any wrongdoing. The problem? The Hirschs, who own a distribution company on Long Island, were never even charged with a crime, much less convicted. They were victims of civil asset forfeiture, a process whereby government can seize property and cash they suspect is related to the commission of a crime.
          Last Wednesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered the expansion of civil asset forfeiture laws, insisting they are a "key tool" for enforcement.
          A constitutionally dubious money spigot for government is more like it. And while CBS News painted Sessions' decision as a "reversal" of former AG Eric Holder's policies, the numbers tell a different story. During Holder's tenure from 2009 through early 2015, the yearly dollar value of assets seized by the DOJ went from less than $2 billion to more than $5 billion.
          Holder did indeed receive praise for ending the program. Yet as The Washington Post reported on March 28, 2016, the liar-nObama administration's DOJ — then headed by Loretta Lynch — was "resuming a controversial practice that allows local police departments to funnel a large portion of assets seized from citizens into their own coffers under federal law."
          It was a practice Lynch pursued with vigor during her tenure as U.S. attorney for the eastern district of New York. Her office collected more than $113 million in civil forfeiture actions between 2011 and 2013 — including the $446,000 from the Hirschs.
          "Our country's proud history of opposing government seizures of property goes back to the founding: American colonists protested broad warrants, called 'writs of assistance,' that British customs officers used to hunt for contraband," writes Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT).
          Colonial America was viewed by King George as a financial investment. British lawmakers abided that viewpoint, passing a number of revenue collection bills aimed at extracting as much money as they could from the colonies. When colonists resisted and engaged in smuggling to do so, writs of assistance were issued. They allowed authorities to search a person's property with no notice or reason, and force people to cooperate.
          This egregious overreach was one of the factors precipitating the American Revolution, and the creation of the Fourth Amendment. When it became part of the Constitution, it only applied to the federal government. The Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment expanded its application to the states. Regardless, the Supreme Court has "traditionally affirmed expansive civil forfeiture rules by reference to colonial practices rooted in admiralty, piracy, and customs law," attorney David French explains.
          And Sessions, using the never-ending war on drugs as his rationale, has re-instituted practices known as equitable sharing and adoption. "Those practices permit the federal government to process civil forfeitures on behalf of local officials," Lee explains. "After the forfeiture has been processed and litigated under federal rules, the feds sell the property and give some of the cash back to the local officials. That allows local officials to bypass local laws, which often provide more procedural protections than federal rules. Both the local and federal officials benefit from the racket."
          The move seemingly undermines the 24 states and the District of Columbia that have passed civil forfeiture reform laws since 2014, including three — North Carolina, New Mexico and Nebraska — that have abolished civil forfeiture entirely. At best, Sessions' efforts elicit substantial questions about federalism.
          At worst, they completely mock due process. "In civil forfeiture, authorities don't have to prove guilt, file charges or obtain a conviction before seizing private property," Fox News explains.
          Toward what end? An extensive 2010 report by the Institute for Justice reveals civil forfeiture is really about "policing for profit, as agencies pursue forfeitures to boost their budgets at the expense of other policing priorities."
          That's a bit of an understatement. A report released last April by the DOJ's Office of the Inspector General reveals its forfeiture programs brought in approximately $28 billion over the last decade. Appallingly, the report was based solely on a 100-case sample — because the feds don't keep overall data for further study.
          Those cases revealed that only 44 of the 100 seizures were connected to ongoing investigations, led to additional investigations, or precipitated arrests and/or prosecutions. "When seizure and administrative forfeitures do not ultimately advance an investigation or prosecution, law enforcement creates the appearance, and risks the reality, that it is more interested in seizing and forfeiting cash than advancing an investigation or prosecution," the report stated.
          In an age where government at every level spends more than it takes in, is there any doubt this contemptible method of budget-padding resonates in far too many locales?
          And not just in violation of the Fourth Amendment's "right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures." The Fifth Amendment states Americans cannot be "deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." How that squares with law enforcement officials' ability to seize assets prior to any process of law other than an unsubstantiated allegation is anyone's guess.
          Sessions is at loggerheads with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, whose track record on the subject reveals he is distinctly at odds with the practice. In 1993's U.S. v. James Daniel Good Real Property, Thomas stated that he was "disturbed by the breadth of new civil-forfeiture statutes." Three years later, despite deferring to the majority about the seizure of a wife's car after her husband had sex with a prostitute in it, Thomas wrote a separate concurrence, stating those unaware of history and legal precedents "might well assume that such a scheme is lawless — a violation of due process." And despite its ineligibility for Supreme Court review, Thomas nonetheless offered his opinion in Leonard v. Texas, where police again seized assets absent a criminal procedure. "This system — where police can seize property with limited judicial oversight and retain it for their own use — has led to egregious and well-chronicled abuses," he wrote.
          These abuses have prompted Congress to act. In March, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced the Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration Act. A companion bill was introduced by Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI) in the House. Paul's bill eliminates equitable sharing; reinstates the principle of innocent until proven guilty; requires clear and convincing evidence; protects the right of counsel; removes the profit incentive; reforms IRS seizures; and requires the DOJ to compile and publish data on seizures.
          The effort appears to have bipartisan support. "There are over 200 editorials arguing to do away with civil forfeitures. It was part of both the Democratic and Republican platforms at last summer's conventions," Institute for Justice senior attorney Darpana Sheth told Fox News. "I can't think of any other issue that enjoys such cross-aisle support."
          One hopes. And one hopes that, given President Donald Trump's oft-stated commitment to law and order, he and Sessions recognize civil asset forfeiture laws are the epitome of an unconstitutional "ends justify the means" approach to law enforcement.  ~The Patriot Post

Conservative agenda, not to mention Trump being ‘their president’, has the liberal lunatics at the democraticunderground in full meltdown. Okay, they have been that way since after Hillary tanked in November but their angst appears to be growing and causing untold amounts of mental anguish to them.

One of the democraticunderground members is frothing at the mouth. Spittle must have been flying as he typed madness, unhingled, paranoid, unstable and lunatic.

Tommy_Carcetti (30,532 posts)

We can't sustain this level of madness from Trump for the next 4 years. Dare I say it, but.....

...we can't even sustain it for the next 2 years.

I know everyone is saying we need to prepare for the 2018 midterms. And we absolutely need to prepare for the 2018 midterms. They are crucial. They are critical.

But even so, those are still over 15 months away at this point. Trump has been in office for just a little over 6 months.

And in those 6 months, Trump has proven himself to be far and away the most mentally unstable, mentally unhinged and entirely incompetent individual to ever hold the office of the US Presidency. No one, not even Nixon at his most paranoid, is even close to Trump's level.

It is a truly unprecedented situation.

This is at a point where it should transcend politics and partisanship at this point. As tough as it is, just for a short moment put aside things like the healthcare debate--Republicans will continue to threaten the ACA so long as they have a majority in Congress and an ally in the White House.

This goes beyond even that. This goes to bare bones matters of basic qualifications for office. It goes to matters of mental fitness for duty. We shouldn't be having that conversation about any President--Democrat, Republican, whatever. George W. Bush was lazy, unmotivated and not particularly bright, but it was never at this extreme crisis level. Not even then.

Yesterday truly brought it all home. The President of the United States goes to what should have been--and has always been--a light hearted, ceremonial photo-op: a Boy Scout jamboree. Something where you'd expect him to say a few clichéd words about the youth being the future of the country, reach for your dreams, you can do anything, yada yada yada. Standard fluff. Instead, this Madman who calls himself our President launches into a vitriolic attack yet again against political opponents and the media, goes off on wildly inappropriate tangents insinuating sexcapades on yachts, going on about his political victory. In front of Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts.

He's a lunatic. The President of the United States is a lunatic. And that is one hell of a problem that we cannot ignore.

And while we look to November 2018 as being the light at the end of the tunnel, there's just no telling what could happen that could close that tunnel shut. We have that bullshit "voter fraud" commission entirely in the hands of Trump. And if there is any sort of major crisis or terrorist attack that arises in the interim, God help us.

I'll never forget the feeling waking up on the morning of November 9, 2016 and a sense of extreme anxiety washing over me--there was a sense that this country could be headed towards a very dark place if left unchecked. It was a feeling of vulnerability that I had never, ever felt before as an American citizen. It left me--for the first time in my life--quite literally shaking.

As we stand now, we are still a Democracy, but we are a Democracy under extreme stress. I don't know what the breaking point is. I hope we will never see that breaking point, but that's going to require people to stand up and do the right thing. People who we normally wouldn't agree with. People who we probably won't agree with even after this trial of conscience is over.

In short, what needs to happen might seem like a miracle, but then a miracle is what we'll need. There needs to be just enough individuals who will place loyalty to country over party politics, even if just for this one limited and extreme and unprecedented circumstance.

This horror show needs to end, and it needs to end as soon as possible.

The horror, of it all! This loon was ‘literally shaking’ because Trump won. But, it appears, Trump’s speech to the Boy Scouts unhinged him to the point that he is wanting a ‘miracle’ to save him.  Poor fellow, he was so distraught he failed to remember we are a Republic and not a Democracy. But, I guess we will have to forgive him because of this “truly unprecedented situation” where Donald Trump is his President.

He isn’t alone in his misery. Many of the members of the site chimed in on ‘the evil’ :

FiveGoodMen (16,461 posts)

 It's all on the voters. The GOP is unspeakably evil. And these days, they're quite open about.

Yet they keep getting elected.  The roots of our problem go very deep. 

Yes, we need to get rid of the current crop of devils ASAP, but we'll keep getting more like them unless and until the festering disease within our population is cured.

Well, there you have it. Conservatism is a ‘festering diseases’ and evil.  Why? Because the lunatics who mingle at the democraticunderground are fearful, shaking, and not sleeping because of President Trump.

That is it. He is not partisan. He is just evil. Being partisan is only a small window into his evilness.

The deplorableness of Hillary’s deplorable comment did not register with at least one DU member:

PatrickforO (5,428 posts)

I hope not. But the right wing hate machine is positioning the bearded, toothless, inbred, uneducated and ignorant for civil war. Unfortunately due to the NRA, they are all very, very heavily armed.

So, if an ignorant, quasi-literate, racist asshole shoots you, are you still shot?

In the meantime, most of us don't even own guns.

Some, like this DU resident want President Trump and his ‘trashy family’ to self-destruct:

Paladin (16,517 posts)

My sentiments exactly. I want trump to self-destruct, and damned soon. Looking forward to him and his trashy family vacating D.C. just as soon as possible. 

Mr. Paladin, did you ever contrast Mrs. Trump and Mrs. Obama?

Here is Michelle Obama.

 And, here is Melania Trump. Paladin must have a different definition of ‘trash’ than conservative people.

 Russia Colludes With Ecofascists to Oppose 
 Fracking

With the mainstream media's continuous churning of the Donald Trump/Russia collusion conspiracy, one can easily become callous toward any news related to allegations of actual Russian collusion. But to do so would be to ignore the reality that Vladimir Putin does indeed pose a credible threat to Western nations. And it's not beyond reason to recognize that Putin is still invested in pushing the message of Russian election interference if only to further sow the seeds of division and distrust among Americans regarding the integrity of our electoral system. Leftmedia propaganda outlets are his willing accomplices.
          Another of Putin's most effective propaganda tools turns out to be environmentalist groups.
          For several years now the Russians have invested heavily in the anti-fracking crusade, but not out of any high-minded concerns over the environmental impact. Lacking their own resources or technological development, many Eastern European countries have been forced to look to Russia for their fuel needs. But with the development of fracking technology, several European nations have explored using the technology to reach previously untapped energy reserves on their own soil. This poses a threat to Moscow's near monopoly over the regional energy market.
          For example, in 2012, Bulgaria issued a permit to allow Chevron to engage in fracking. Environmental activists protested, presenting dubious claims of contaminated drinking water and other pollution. Eventually, the Bulgarian government caved to the ecofascists and voted to ban fracking. Guess who swooped in to offer a 20% discount for a 10-year natural gas contract — Gazprom, the Russian state-owned energy company.
          Putin played a similar game in Romania in the funding of environmentalist groups that were successful in stopping any fracking there. In 2014, several European nations banned fracking after protests prompted then-NATO Secretary General Fogh Anders Rasmussen to warn, "Russia, as part of their sophisticated information and disinformation operations, engaged actively with so-called non-governmental organizations — environmental organizations working against shale gas — to maintain dependence on imported Russian gas."
          Even liar-Hillary Clinton noted that while she was at the State Department, "We were up against phony environmental groups. And I'm a big environmentalist, but these were funded by the Russians to stand up against any effort. 'Oh that pipeline, that fracking, that whatever will be a problem for you,' and a lot of that money supporting that effort was coming from Russia."
          Russia hasn't stopped its anti-fracking campaign. In 2015, Russia's state-run media outlet produced no fewer than 60 anti-fracking stories purporting to show studies that determined fracking was "dangerous." Recently, two Republican representatives wrote a letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin demanding that he investigate a shell company accused of funneling millions from the Russian government to a private environmentalist group — the Sea Change Foundation. The tip of the proverbial iceberg.
          This is the real Russian meddling story that Congress should be investigating.  ~The Patriot Post

The remains of Al-Nuri Grand Mosque in Mosul
by Aymenn Jawad Al-Tamimi
{meforum.org} ~ As Mosul is finally freed in its entirety from the Islamic State (ISIS) and the offensive in Raqqa continues, the predictable question becomes: What's next for the group?... Without control of territory, its complex state administration project cannot function. This project was probably ISIS's biggest selling point in relation to its rivals in the global jihadist movement. The end of ISIS as a functioning state project on the ground clearly does not herald the end of ISIS as an entity. In many areas long since cleared of ISIS control, the organization has continued to function as an effective insurgency with both small and large-scale attacks. Around the world, ISIS will remain a terrorist threat, as illustrated by events from Europe to the Philippines.

While all eyes in America are once again distracted by “Russia”-related narratives and the dismal GOP efforts to replace, repeal, re-who-knows-what liar-nObamacare, the threat of North Korea has not gone away… and neither has China’s preparations.

{dailycaller.com} ~ Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh voiced frustration that Democrats are sidestepping media attention due to potential improprieties... FBI agents recently seized smashed computer hard drives from the home of Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s information technology (IT) administrator, according to sources. The Pakistani-born longtime IT aide to the former Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairwoman who resigned in disgrace has since tried to retrieve the hard drives. Limbaugh noted and lamented that many of the popular news outlets have hardly touched the story. “Here we got leaks, and here we’ve got ‘sources with knowledge of the investigation’ talking about Democrats,” Limbaugh said. “Well, The Daily Caller’s been the only ones on it. I mean, they’re the ones who did that story two weeks ago. They revived it a bit today. But nobody’s picking up on this. It makes sense. This is the exact kind of story the Democrats and the Drive-By Media would want to ignore.”... http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/24/limbaugh-questions-why-media-chose-to-ignore-a-huge-story/

Are America's Wars Just and Moral?

{
townhall.com} ~ "One knowledgeable official estimates that the CIA-backed fighters may have killed or wounded 100,000 Syrian soldiers and their allies," writes columnist David Ignatius.

Given that Syria's prewar population was not 10 percent of ours, this is the equivalent of a million dead and wounded Americans. What justifies America's participation in this slaughter?

Columnist Eric Margolis summarizes the successes of the six-year civil war to overthrow President Bashar Assad.

"The result of the western-engendered carnage in Syria was horrendous: at least 475,000 dead, 5 million Syrian refugees driven into exile in neighboring states Turkey alone hosts three million, and another 6 million internally displaced. ... 11 million Syrians ... driven from their homes into wretched living conditions and near famine.

"Two of Syria's greatest and oldest cities, Damascus and Aleppo, have been pounded into ruins. Jihadist massacres and Russian and American air strikes have ravaged once beautiful, relatively prosperous Syria. Its ancient Christian peoples are fleeing for their lives before US and Saudi takfiri religious fanatics."

Realizing the futility of U.S. policy, President Trump is cutting aid to the rebels. And the War Party is beside itself. Says The Wall Street Journal:

"The only way to reach an acceptable diplomatic solution is if Iran and Russia feel they are paying too high a price for their Syria sojourn. This means more support for Mr. Assad's enemies, not cutting them off without notice. And it means building up a Middle East coalition willing to fight Islamic State and resist Iran. The U.S. should also consider enforcing 'safe zones' in Syria for anti-Assad forces."

Yet, fighting ISIS and al-Qaida in Syria, while bleeding the Assad-Iran-Russia-Hezbollah victors, is a formula for endless war and unending terrors visited upon the Syrian people.

What injury did the Assad regime, in power for half a century and having never attacked us, inflict to justify what we have helped to do to that country?

Is this war moral by our own standards?

We overthrew Saddam Hussein in 2003 and Moammar Gadhafi in 2012. Yet, the fighting, killing and dying in both countries have not ceased. Estimates of the Iraq civilian and military dead run into the hundreds of thousands.

Still, the worst humanitarian disaster may be unfolding in Yemen.

After the Houthis overthrew the Saudi-backed regime and took over the country, the Saudis in 2015 persuaded the United States to support its air strikes, invasion and blockade.

By January 2016, the U.N. estimated a Yemeni civilian death toll of 10,000, with 40,000 wounded. However, the blockade of Yemen, which imports 90 percent of its food, has caused a crisis of malnutrition and impending famine that threatens millions of the poorest people in the Arab world with starvation.

No matter how objectionable we found these dictators, what vital interests of ours were so imperiled by the continued rule of Saddam, Assad, Gadhafi and the Houthis that they would justify what we have done to the peoples of those countries?

"They make a desert and call it peace," Calgacus said of the Romans he fought in the first century. Will that be our epitaph?

Among the principles for a just war, it must be waged as a last resort, to address a wrong suffered, and by a legitimate authority. Deaths of civilians are justified only if they are unavoidable victims of a deliberate attack on a military target.

The wars in Syria, Libya and Yemen were never authorized by Congress. The civilian dead, wounded and uprooted in Syria, and the malnourished millions in Yemen, represent a moral cost that seems far beyond any proportional moral gain from those conflicts.

In which of the countries we have attacked or invaded in this century -- Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen -- are the people better off than they were before we came?

And we wonder why they hate us.

"Those to whom evil is done/Do evil in return," wrote W. H. Auden in "September 1, 1939." As the peoples of Syria and the other broken and bleeding countries of the Middle East flee to Europe and America, will not some come with revenge on their minds and hatred in their hearts?

Meanwhile, as the Americans bomb across the Middle East, China rises. She began the century with a GDP smaller than Italy's and now has an economy that rivals our own.

She has become the world's first manufacturing power, laid claim to the islands of the East and South China seas, and told America to keep her warships out of the Taiwan Strait.

Xi Jinping has launched a "One Belt, One Road" policy to finance trade ports and depots alongside the military and naval bases being established in Central and South Asia.

Meanwhile, the Americans, $20 trillion in debt, running $800 billion trade deficits, unable to fix their health care system, reform their tax code, or fund an infrastructure program, prepare to fight new Middle East war. Whom the Gods would destroy...

{rickwells.us} ~ The CNN Fake News Panels and talking heads, including Wolf Blitzer and his White House reporter in the video below... want to speculate as to the reasons why President Trump and Attorney General Sessions might be having a bit of a cold spell in their relationship. They want to attribute everything President Trump does to their Russia, Russia, Russia obsession and that surely does play a role. It’s a significant part, as President Trump’s comments to the New York Times revealed, but there are other problems that are well within the scope of the Attorney General to take action on. Those actions might remove some of the pressure from the President and regardless were a campaign promise that we expected to have fulfilled early on, the prosecution of the Democrat criminals. They could start immediately with liar-Hillary Clinton, but move quickly to include Lynch, Rice, Rhodes, Podesta, Abedin, Comey, Mills – the calendar is more limited than the number of potential defendants...http://rickwells.us/grand-jury-solution-trump-pressing-sessions-to-prosecute-clinton-dems/

Israel, for its part, has brushed aside reports about a suspension of the security coordination with the Palestinian Authority as yet another Abbas gimmick. It is far from lost on Mahmoud Abbas and his PA that such security coordination is what stands between a very hungry Hamas and Abbas served up on toast for breakfast. In the past, Abbas has rightly and reasonably described security coordination with Israel as "sacred," saying he will never succumb to pressure from Hamas and many Palestinians to stop working with Israel in the West Bank...That's bull. https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10732/palestinians-abbas-security

Senate health bill clears
test vote, aided by McCain

John McCain’s dramatic return to the chamber for the first time since his brain cancer diagnosis... The Senate voted 51-50 to start debate, with Vice President Pence casting the tie-breaker. The procedural vote once again brings the liar-nObamaCare overhaul legislation back from the brink of collapse, after intense prodding from President Trump who had pressured senators to skip recess until they act on health care. The bill still faces a tough road ahead. But it was a heavy lift just to get to this point...http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/07/25/senate-health-bill-protesters-interrupt-start-test-vote.html

{
townhall.com} ~ While ISIS was burning people in cages and the Middle East was ablaze, former President liar-nObama decided it was the perfect time to turn the U.S. military into a social experiment petri dish. liar-nObama reversed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” then used his proverbial presidential megaphone to ensure that those who had no desire to ask in the first place were told anyhow.

But, that was not enough.

Now, six months into the Trump administration, rather than concentrating on accomplishing its mission to organize, equip and train forces for prompt and sustained combat operations, the U.S. Army is using time and resources instructing female soldiers on how to accept transgenders with male body parts in their shower facilities.

The training instructs females to act as if they don’t see the junk in the trunk with the aim of offering the transsexual in the shower room “dignity and respect.”

What about dignity and respect for females? Obviously, liar-nObama and his leftist cohorts didn’t give a rip about that. Once again, here is another example of the left making up rules that favor a microscopic minority while inflicting irrefutable damage on the resounding majority.

Female soldiers should boycott the showers and spread some girl stink around until leadership comes to its senses.

Military members did not volunteer to be brainwashed with leftist propaganda. They volunteered to serve. It is hard to do that if they are preoccupied with altering their natural and human responses to things their brain and conscience reckons as abnormal.

Leftists treat normal like it is a setting on a washing machine.

If Corporal Klinger-izing the military were normal, there would be no need to tell soldiers this: “Understand that you may encounter individuals in barracks, bathroom, or shower facilities with physical characteristics of the opposite sex…All soldiers should be respectful of the privacy and modesty concerns of others. However, transgender soldiers are not required or expected to modify or adjust their behavior based on the fact that they do not ‘match’ other soldiers.”

That the military says transgender soldiers are not required to alter their behavior is a reversal of U.S. Military ethos whereby the military always reserves the right to instruct ALL soldiers to modify and adjust behavior.

This goes against the sensibilities of those like former Johns Hopkins Hospital psychiatrist-in-chief Dr. Paul R. McHugh who wrote a piece in the Wall Street Journal explaining that transgenderism is a “mental disorder” which warrants medical treatment. He said, “policy makers and the media are doing no favors either to the public or the transgendered by treating their confusions as a right in need of defending rather than a mental disorder that deserves understanding, treatment and prevention.”

Psychologists say we all have disorders, though most do not wear them front-and-center like the transgender donut shop worker I’ve reached out to over the years in an honest attempt to extend God’s love on a personal level. As I’ve written before, I cannot help but agree with Dr. McHugh that the behavior we see is really a desperate cry for help in an increasingly genderqueer culture where the only thing that is wrong is suggesting something is wrong.

Consequently, everyone suffers.

If Dr. McHugh is correct, the compassionate response to this issue is to help them seek treatment for mental health. Not taxpayer funded hormone therapy and a gun.

 Democrats Purging History

Long gone are the days when the Democrats could honestly claim to be a party housing a broad spectrum of mainstream political and social perspectives. The party's last few holdout moderate "Blue Dog" Democrats were weeded out during Barack liar-nObama's two terms as the party increasingly embraced a hard-leftist ideology. This leftism has corrupted Democrats to the point where their own pride in party motivates the rejection of their own storied history.
          The Louisiana Democrat Party recently announced that it will be changing the name of its annual party dinner from the "Jefferson-Jackson" dinner to the "True Blue Gala." Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the party, writer of the Declaration of Independence and third president of the U.S., is too controversial a figure to honor? Andrew Jackson, a war hero who helped end the British threat in the War of 1812 at the Battle of New Orleans and later became one of America's most influential presidents, must be purged from the Democrat lexicon?
          Such is the psychosis that has infected today's Democrats. The problem for Democrats is that both Jefferson and Jackson were slave owners, an unforgivable sin in today's world of grievance politics. Lost to the modern leftist mind is any argument based on a rationally nuanced approach to understanding the values, attitudes and cultural practices from the past. Democrats are content to engage in a condemn-and-purge crusade because people cry "offense." They have hitched themselves to the social justice warrior crowd, who seek only to condemn America's great history of achieving the freest society the world has ever known, albeit with terrible struggles along the way. These are Eeyore Democrats who only see the negatives of past history.

Homan revealed just how he feels about the lawless city leadership saying in an interview, “Sanctuary cities, in my opinion, are un-American.” Homan said, “In the last year, I’ve read all these stories of how the crime rate has exploded in Chicago, and the president’s trying to help them. We’re stepping up our game in Chicago. Is Chicago doing everything that it can to decrease the criminal activity up there? I say no.” He continued, “I say no because if you’re an illegal alien, and you get arrested in the United States for a crime, and you get booked in Cook County, Chicago, my officers aren’t allowed in the jail. They don’t accept our detainers. They don’t share information with us.”... http://rickwells.us/ice-director-names-four-worst-offender-sanctuary-city-governments/

Waters was asked about the disparity in a New York Times Magazine interview and accused Carlson of being “racist” for questioning how an African-American woman acquired her wealth... http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/24/tucker-refuses-to-let-up-on-race-baiting-maxine-waters-video/

truthrevolt.org} ~ The Solomon family was massacred Friday night as they celebrated Shabbat and the birth of their newest grandson in their home. They were massacred by a 19 year old jihadist who posted an explanation of his imminent act of barbarous murder against his Jewish neighbors on Facebook less that two hours before he stormed their home in Neve Tzuf.

The murderer used the same language as his"moderate" "pro-peace" "legitimate" leader, PLO chief Mahmoud Abbas who said that Jews pollute the Temple Mount with our "filthy feet."

Ironically and appallingly, just last week the US State Department published a report blaming Israel for Palestinian terrorism and claiming that the PLO-led, and US-funded Palestinian Authority doesn't incite terrorism and violence and hatred.

The State Department also opposes the Taylor Force bill which if passed -- along the lines passed in the House of Representatives, (the Senate bill is an insult to our intelligence), would end US taxpayer subsidization of Palestinian terrorism to the tune of more than half a billion dollars a year.

The State Department -- Tillerson included, apparently, doesn't see anything wrong with the fact that the PA uses more than $300 million every year to pay people like the murderer who butchered the Solomons and their families.

Having murdered the Solomons in their home, this terrorist is guaranteed a lifetime salary and pension for his family that ensure them all an upper middle class economic status -- courtesy of US taxpayers via the "moderate" PA, PLO, Abbas, terror machine.

I just gave my final speech in Australia and will be heading on to the US for a month from here.

It is my intention to use my time in the US to convince the Washington types that this appalling, anti-Israel and anti-Jewish policy of supporting people committed to our annihilation in the name of fake peace must end.

Enough is enough. This simply cannot continue. Jewish life is sacred, not worthless. It is time for the US to accept and base its policy on this basic, self-evident fact.

SWEDEN: 48 semen stains found after at least nine Afghan Muslim invaders savagely gang-raped a mother of two

( Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate! )

Ah yes, once again…securing Sweden’s place as the  undisputed (Muslim) rape capital of Europe. %3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=www.barenakedislam.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/CjU4dOPWgAAwhfu.jpg?resize=483%2C310" alt="" width="483" height="310" />

Translated from Fria Tider via 10NEWS The Swedish mother of two was gang-raped to the sound of laughter and joyful shouts by at least nine refugees at a refugee camp in Småland Mariannelund, Sweden.

The woman was almost catatonic after the rape and still feels that she has something stuffed in the genital area. Today, the prosecutor presented the evidence, consisting of semen probes, against nine men, of whom several defends their actions against the woman.

‘She is a whore,’ says the Swedish Migration Board Muslim interpreter Bahaduri Rafi, (above) 25, who is one of the defendants.

Prosecutor Gunnar Brodin disclosed that forensic scientists found 48 semen stains in the refugee apartment where the gang rape took place. Inside the victim’s rectum and farther up the digestive system was recovered sperm from at least four people. In total, nine men are connected to the rape.

Besides the sadistic gang rape, which was committed by Afghan refugees, the mother of two was close to death because her airways was clogged during the rape, stated courtroom clerk Charlotte Bokelund during the trial. …

The mother of two, who have chosen to follow the trial, repeatedly felt so bad that she had to leave the courtroom to vomit.

Philadelphia aka ‘Muslim Town’: A look inside

( Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate! )

The Washington Post has a writer dedicated to Islam. In her title she claims to take a look inside “Muslim Town.” It’s a very shallow look.

Source: ‘Muslim Town’: A look inside Philadelphia’s thriving Muslim culture – The Washington Post

In the 1960s, the term “American Muslim” tended to refer to members of the Nation of Islam, a black nationalist group that thrived during the tumultuous years of the civil rights movement. But shifting demographics have altered that image, which has been replaced by portrayals of Muslims as immigrants — stereotypes fueled by a new set of politics and national security anxieties.

Now, only about 9 percent of America’s Muslims are black and native-born.

Not so in Philadelphia, where local Muslim leaders say the majority of Muslims are still black.

Today, Masjidullah is one of only three mosques out of 37 in Philadelphia that are tied to the W.D. Mohammed tradition. The larger Muslim population has diversified, and some say W.D. Mohammed’s teachings are no longer relevant. But the legacy lives on in the city’s culture and politics and has helped define a modern-day Philadelphia that Muslim leaders say remains a magnet for Muslim immigrants and new converts.

Once dubbed “Muslim Town” in a Philadelphia Inquirer editorial, Philadelphia is a city that appears uniquely — or at least relatively — at ease with its long-standing Muslim community… [editorial not readily found online]

In Philadelphia, there is a plethora of Muslim-owned businesses, an Islamic history museum, and numerous Muslim community organizations and charitable initiatives. There is a Muslim city council member and a Muslim state senator; the chairman of the city Board of Commissioners is Muslim, and there has been a Muslim police chief. The Muslim holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Kabir are observed holidays within the Philadelphia school system, and 2017 was the fifth year in a row that City Hall hosted an annual Iftar dinner in celebration of the holy month of Ramadan.

“Everywhere you go, Muslims in the bank, Muslims in the hospital, in the police department,” said Shabazz.

“It so happens that even the Christian people are giving their kids Arabic names like Ayesha, Khadija, Khalil,” said Ahmad Nuruddin, a native-born black Philadelphian who converted to Islam in his 20s and now serves as a leader within the city’s Ahmadiyya Muslim community, part of a predominantly South Asian sect.


A deeper look at Philly’s Muslim Town can be found in various posts in the Creeping Sharia archives, here.

In a 2014 Inquirer article we learn more about Philly’s growing Muslim presence:

…to get a look-see at the origins of Islam in Philadelphia you’d have to go back to March of 1954 when Minister Malcolm X arrived in Philadelphia to help “energize” the Nation of Islam’s local Temple #12.

Going even further back you discover the West Philadelphia based Quba Inc. (formally the International Muslim Brotherhood). In the late 1940’s no one could have imagined the group’s future contribution to the growth of Islam in Philadelphia.

The Muslim Brotherhood. They have a plan for the West.

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: The New Brownshirts: Thugs vs. Free Speech on Campus

The future for free expression in the West is looking bleak. My latest in FrontPage:

Leftist students routinely intimidate and even physically menace those who dissent from their views, especially pro-Israel students. Conservative speakers are rarely invited to campuses, and when they are, face legions of hostile and even violent protesters. Universities are increasingly hostile to conservative views, and are mostly indoctrination centers for the hard Left. This is academia today, as I detail in my new book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Free Speech (and Its Enemies).

On September 29, 2016, retired U.S. Army Lt. Colonel and former Congressman Allen West was scheduled to speak at Saint Louis University (SLU) on what he termed “the threat of radical Islam.” A group of Leftist and Muslim student protesters, led by the SLU Rainbow Alliance and the Muslim Students’ Association, packed the hall and then walked out, leaving West to speak to a nearly empty room.

That was the culmination of protests that had led SLU administrators to forbid the Young America’s Foundation (YAF), the organization sponsoring West’s speech, to use the words “radical Islam” on posters and fliers advertising it. West, not disposed to acquiesce to this censorship, had written before the event, “I along with the YAF activists will not back down from this challenge. And if this is just a case of ill-conceived political correctness, we’ll rectify that. But, if this is a case of the influence of stealth jihad radical Islamic campus organizations such as the Muslim Student Association, an affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood, then you will be exposed. And I recommend to the President of St. Louis University, you do not want it known that a radical Islamic organization is dictating speakers on your campus—that is not the type of PR you really want.”

But rather than affirming the importance of free discourse and the airing of dissenting views (never mind rejecting jihad and Islamic supremacism), SLU President Fred Pestello declared his “solidarity” with the protesters against the “provocateur” West.

YAF national spokeswoman Emily Jashinsky noted that what happened to West at SLU is common. “This is what happens when students attempt to bring one conservative speaker to a liberal campus. Threatened leftists do everything they can to erect obstacles.”

The whiff of a threat was unmistakable. And it was understandable that Jewish groups would feel intimidated, as groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine and the Muslim Students Association have been growing increasingly aggressive and even physically menacing toward those who dare to question support for the Palestinian jihad against Israel.

Universities were much more solicitous about the sensibilities of Muslims.

The April 5, 2016 issue of The Gleaner, the student paper of Rutgers University–Camden, published a cartoon of Muhammad, Buddha, and Jesus in a bar. Its content, however, cannot be known at this point, because at the behest of Muslims on campus the entire issue has been deep-sixed. This is an incident fraught with implications for the health of the freedom of speech today.

Two weeks after the cartoon was published, the April 19 issue of The Gleaner contained a letter from the Muslim Brotherhood campus group, the Muslim Students Association, saying that it found the image offensive and asking The Gleaner to remove the image from the April 5 issue and circulate a new edition of that issue without it. The MSA letter claimed that Christians and Jews on campus told MSA members that they, too, found the image offensive.

The MSA letter stated, “Even though freedom of speech and press is emphasized and is something all of us value as proud Americans, the University prides itself on diversity of people of different faith and backgrounds so we feel that it is necessary to respect those faiths and backgrounds by honoring their beliefs.”

The April 19, 2016, Gleaner contained a response to the MSA letter written by Christopher Church, the paper’s editor in chief. Church apologized to the MSA and agreed to meet with it “so that we can rectify this issue and ensure that it doesn’t happen again.” He also agreed to remove any copies of the offending April 5 issue from the Gleaner boxes around campus and destroy them.

Neither Church nor anyone at Rutgers appeared to be aware of, or to care about, the fact that the freedom of speech as a Constitutional right it is not negated by anyone’s taking offense. This incident could and should have been a chance for Rutgers and The Gleaner to explain why the freedom of speech must be protected as our fundamental bulwark against tyranny, and why that means that we must all learn to put up with material that offends us.

And once a group’s feelings of offense are taken as decisive, that group has a license to take offense at other aspects of campus life. What if Muslim Student Association members declare themselves offended at men and women sharing classrooms at Rutgers, or pork being served in the Rutgers dining hall?

In light of the violent attacks on those who have depicted Muhammad, The Gleaner was bowing to the implicit threat of violence—which in the long run only encourages more violence. Around the same time the Rutgers Muhammad cartoon incident played out, the Rutgers Art Library featured an “artwork” depicting Jesus on a dartboard. It was ultimately removed, but not because it offended Christians. No one cared if Christians were offended: Rutgers officials knew that offended Christians wouldn’t murder them. Their solicitousness toward the MSA, by contrast, reveals that they knew offended Muslims might very well kill them. Rather than stand up for the freedom of speech and against this kind of bullying, they signaled their willingness to surrender and fall into line, accepting Sharia restrictions on speech.

The double standard was stark: Jesus crucified on a dartboard was art—and what’s more, it was courageous – while a cartoon of Muhammad was beyond the bounds of acceptable expression. One Rutgers student chortled on Facebook that the dartboard “art” was “hilarious,” and crowed that “we don’t have to cater to the wills of the Church or any denomination of Christianity or religion.” A cartoon of Muhammad, on the other hand, was an outrage. No one was crowing about not having to cater to the wills of the mosque.

This is the kind of respect being irrationally violent will win you. This respect won at the point of a sword does not bode well for the future of free expression in the West.

The brownshirts were back, and on American campuses. And administrators all too often appeared anxious to placate them, rather than determined to protect the freedom of speech and curb their influence.

CANADIAN blogger, seeking to expose hate speech by Muslims praying in a public school, is arrested for a hate crime

( Muslims do not assimilate! They infiltrate! )

Police in the Toronto suburb of Peel are charging Kevin Johnstone, who was outraged over Muslim students being granted special Friday prayer time during school hours, with “wilful promotion of hatred against an identifiable group.”

%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=www.barenakedislam.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/sub-buzz-6094-1500920741-9.png.jpeg?resize=715%2C400" alt="" width="590" height="330" />

Daily Caller CBC News reports that Kevin Johnston made news a few months ago when he offered a $1,000 reward to anyone who could provide video of Muslim students “spewing hate speech during Friday prayers.” Police say Johnston was arrested for “numerous incidents” and won’t say if the YouTube video is one of those but that the charge “concerns over information published on various social media sites.”

The Peel region has been the focus of numerous school board protests because Muslim students are allowed to conduct Friday prayer services in Arabic and many parents are concerned that these events are potential focal points for radicalization.

Peel police Sgt. Josh Colley told CBC Toronto that Johnston was arrested after a five-month investigation that apparently focused on “messaging” that the police considered hateful.

“It’s not a private message that he was conveying, it was a public message … Anyone could hear, understand the messaging, so that’s where the communicating hateful messages comes into play,” Colley said. Even though the “the group that was targeted was the Muslim community,” Colley said that “affects us all.”

The Ontario government has already branded the opponents of the Muslim school prayers as racists and Islamophobes.

The school prayers have become an issue because local imams are invited to pray and speak to the students in Arabic, and the school board cannot provide assurances that the students are not being subjected to radical Islamic indoctrination.
