Why do many Conservatives refuse to cave in and support 2016 GOP Presidential candidate, Donald Trump?  After 12 previous Presidential General Elections supporting each Republican Party nominee during these years, may I offer my reasoning? 

For the first time in my entire more than 50 years of participating in GOP elections, we have a Presidential candidate, who rather than acting Presidential, is operating more like a bully criminal; operating from within some lawless slums. 

Those who oppose Donald Trump on the issues, or questions his personal lifestyle, his political life by donating his massive number of dollars to liberal organizations, and/or donating to leaders who support and practice liberalism, anti-Constitutional, anti-American policies, etc. against our Founding Founders values as openly expressed in our Federalist Papers, Donald Trump immediately begins demeaning honorable conservatives; and more importantly, without justification for his words. 

Most disturbing is for Donald Trump to say, “I don't think I’ve ever asked God for forgiveness.” http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/trump-does-not-ask/2015/07/18/id/657832/ or failing to respond to a letter allegedly mailed to him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9WXSQAboJk. 

Donald Trump repeats many offensive names for others who choose to oppose him on issues: weak, pathetic, dumb, low-energy, nasty, lack of energy, liar, wears glasses to seem smart, I don't get it, a disaster, look at that face, rapists, dumb guy, hypocrite, a stiff, a total loser, total lightweight, totally overrated clown, criminals, total loser, moron, dummy, etc. 

Donald Trump has deliberately damaged several 2016 Republican Party candidates’ personal integrity in the primary election process and without Trump providing any evidence to sustain his erroneous allegations. 

For these Donald Trump unjustifiable and scornful attacks on upstanding and mostly conservative men and women, I totally reject Donald Trump.  As for me, Donald Trump has become a political disaster for America and the Republican Party.  What may be even worse is that a majority of Republicans supports Trump in Primary Elections; embracing his dishonest words. 

2016 is a year whereas Republican voters have chosen to back a majority of unfounded ‘bull-shit’ coming from Donald Trump’s mouth, even if it is opposite of what Trump may have, himself said a few years, months, weeks, days, or even a few hours ago. Donald Trump routinely switches ever changing positions. 

Republicans and Conservatives are so angry at the Capitol Hill majority Republican Party leadership who are controlling and leading their fellow Republican Senators and Representatives to legislate in an opposed political direction as called on by the Republican Party’s electorate; ‘We the People’. 

Many conservatives are grasping for anyone on conservative issues as ‘We the People’ demand a change from Obama’s White House ideals and as GOP Capitol Hill legislators are forcing upon Americans. 

Prior to voting, Americans needs extra time and attention in learning more about each candidates’ entire life, their political history, and the positions on multiple issues, not just focusing in on one issue; as an issue that affects me, me, and me. 

Americans need to practice as President John F. Kennedy articulated, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” 

As Donald Trump queries other 2016 GOP Presidential candidates being unqualified under the US Constitution, Donald Trump’s own mother was not born in the USA, and this may also disqualify Donald Trump.  Does this issue even matter to Trump  or his supporters? 

Where are Donald Trump’s tax records?  Is Donald Trump hiding his records from Americans until after the General Election?  Are unlawful deductions being keyed within his tax records? 

Trump may be paying $0.00, or near nothing, on Federal income taxes.  If so, who pays the federal taxes for our entire government, including our US Military? 

For Donald Trump’s shameful names of honorable Americans, I refuse to support Trump’s ‘big untruthful mouth’ without Trump’s authentication of backing up his utterings.  I refuse to listen, trust, or support a multiple continuation of a falsifier’s words as Trump has, time-and-time again, said without justifications. 

After all these years, 2016 is not a year for this 72 year old Conservative Republican who has given his entire adult life to Conservative Republicans on Conservative fiscal, social, and National Security issues; in saving and supporting our precious nation, our American flag, and our US Constitutional freedoms based on Judeo-Christian values. 

Why should Conservatives reject Donald Trump?  The primary reasoning in my mind is that a President Donald Trump, collectively speaking, may do more damage to our precious nation than the current officeholder. 

I am saddened!  Our majority Republican Party’s Capitol Hill leaders are leading other GOP legislators away from Judeo-Christian value based legislations.

Mr. liar-Trump Goes to Washington

 liar-HILLY’S EMAIL LINE DOESN’T WORK
liar-Hilly Clinton's often used line that her use of private email was acceptable has run into a problem due to a newly released State Department report.
          In true liar-Clintonian fashion her campaign is sticking with that defense in rebutting a
State Department watchdog group’s audit released Wednesday that said the former secretary “did not comply with the Department’s policies” in using a private server. The audit also said that had the Department known about the server they would not have given its blessing because of “security risks in doing so.”
          Whether or not security was compromised remains to be seen. liar-Clinton’s
FAQ’s page claims there wasn’t a breach, but the hacker known as “Guccifer,” who was indicted on Wednesday for other identity theft charges, claims he did access liar-Clinton’s private server, though he has refused to provide evidence of such a hack. The State Department audit did not find specific evidence of a breach, but notes that the liar-Clintons’ outside I.T. consultant twice shut down her home-based server because he feared that someone was trying to hack the system.
          While a separate FBI investigation continues to loom over liar-Clinton, the fallout from the report is likely to send liar-Clinton’s already
poor numbers on honesty and trustworthiness down even further as she fights a two-front war with Donald liar-Trump and Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders.
          The audit’s findings play right into liar-Trump’s repeated characterization of “Crooked liar-Hilly” and makes Sanders’ backers even more infuriated with her in a nominating process they already feel is corrupt.
          All the while, liar-Clinton has continued to cast a narrative of the scandal as a Republican witch hunt designed to cast her candidacy in a bad light. As WaPo’s Chris Cillizza
points out, “That’s a very hard story to sell, given that the current inspector general was appointed by President nObama.”
          With editorials using terms like, “
inexcusable,” and phrases like, “proof of her deceptions,” hitting the presses, how long the liar-Clinton camp can maintain her current line of defense is questionable.
          Short of an indictment this is about as bad as things have yet to get in liar-Hillyland. And though few are questioning her security of the nomination, how she maneuvers her way out of this will be very telling of the general election back-and-forth yet to come.  -Fox News

 The Judge's Ruling: The Seriousness of Lawyers'  Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano describes several instances when government officials and attorneys lied to judges during legal cases or investigations: “The problem of lawyers lying to judges is extremely serious. Our system of litigation -- lawyers present facts and argue about laws, and judges rely on the truthfulness of what the lawyers have told them -- is built on trust. Because lawyers know the facts in their cases more intimately than judges do, judges rely on lawyers to tell them the truth.”    -Fox News

{investigativeproject.org} ~ Abrutal Sunni-Shi'ite war is raging across the Middle East, and the Lebanese terror organization Hizballah, originally formed to wage jihad on Israel, now finds itself in the middle... Hizballah is a formidable component of the Middle East's Iranian-led Shi'ite axis. The axis is a transnational network of allies and proxies that once was focused on fomenting attacks on Israel. It still does that, but the axis is primarily engaged in an altogether different, day-to-day fight against Sunni organizations, as well as against the Sunni states like Saudi Arabia that back some of these groups. This war is raging in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and other battlegrounds, and it has reshaped the Middle East, making it almost unrecognizable. For example, in the second half of the 20th century, Syria often would send military forces into Lebanon to dominate it. Today, Lebanese Hizballah formations dominate and shape events inside Syria...  http://www.investigativeproject.org/5388/syrian-quagmire-delays-hizballah-pursuit#

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ If you are a resident of Washington, D.C., you are bearing witness to decades of neglect that have thrown the area's Metro system into a downward dysfunctional cycle... With a safety and reliability record worthy of a third-world transit system, residents are struggling to understand what happened to their once-celebrated Metro. The answer is a lifetime of shortsighted decisions by officials who failed to spend the necessary time, energy and resources on the maintenance and improvement of a complicated mechanical system. The reasons for Metro's decline are legion: A tradition of managerial and employee incompetence and even corruption at WMATA; a lack of effective oversight and direction by a multi-jurisdictional board; and no dedicated funding stream like other major metropolitan subway systems enjoy. All of this has led to a culture of politically calculated decision-making, underfunding, corner-cutting and attempting to do more with less. While extending service and neglecting repairs and upgrades, Metro has been able to keep up appearances while in fact the system was in steep decline...     http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/of-metro-and-missile-defense/article/2592438?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20Opinion%20Digest%20PMI&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20Opinion%20Digest%20PMI%20-%2005/27/16&utm_medium=email

However, as we originally pointed out, nObama embraces the same sentiment in comparing Veterans waiting for medical care to waiting for a ride at Disneyland. How utterly despicable, but yet expected from this administration. Well, here’s something else I suppose you can find happening at the nearest amusement park — according to McDonald and nObama.

{freedomoutpost.com} ~ A State Department audit released 05/26/2016 faults liar-Hilly Clinton in stating that her and her team ignored clear guidance from the State Department that her private email use in sensitive government matters broke Federal standards and could leave sensitive materials vulnerable to hackers... The Inspector General's review goes on to say hacking attempts forced then Secretary of State liar-Clinton off of using email at one point in 2011. The 78-page analysis, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, says liar-Clinton ignored clear directives. She never sought approval to conduct government business over private email, and never demonstrated that the server or the Blackberry she used while in office "met minimum information security requirements." Twice in 2010, information management staff at the State Department raised concerns that liar-Clinton's email practices failed to meet federal records-keeping requirements. The staff's director responded that liar-Clinton's personal email system had been reviewed and approved by legal staff, and that "the matter was not to be discussed any further." By Federal law, this means liar-Hilly Clinton is ineligible to run for President, according to 18 U.S.C. § 2071(b), which states:...  http://freedomoutpost.com/new-state-department-audit-disqualifies-hillary-clinton-from-running-for-president/

{jude3.wordpress.com} ~ On Saturday April 23, 2016 I had the great pleasure of engaging with my good friend Sadat Anwar of the Muslim Debate Initiative on the topic of the Bible and the Qur’an at the Toronto Thinking Conference 2016... The event was hosted by the Network of Christian Scholars, Apologetics Canada and a number of other Christian ministry groups. I began by listing a number of points regarding the Bible, its textual history, the different types of genres that it contains (narrative, prophecy, poetry, apocalyptic, etc) and most importantly that the Bible is not just one book. Rather, the Bible is a collection of 66 books, a divine encyclopedia if you will of 66 volumes. It was written during a 1600 year period by over 40 different authors, some were contemporaneous with each other, others were not, and that the Bible came down to us in 3 languages, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. The Bible was not written in one place, but in different geographical locations (Babylon, Persia, Israel, Greece, to name a few). The amazing reality about the Bible is how all these various texts came together under the one rubric of “the Bible”. The ultimate focus of the Bible is Jesus Christ, thus the Bible is Christocentric and also Christotelic (having Christ as its goal and end). Jesus Himself recognized this when He said...  https://jude3.wordpress.com/2016/05/15/public-debate-the-bible-and-the-quran-which-one-should-we-trust-tony-costa-vs-sadat-anwar/

{thecommonsenseshow.com} ~ Since America was founded on principles related to personal and national sovereignty, one would expect our sitting Presidents to reflect this spirit. In actuality, nObama stands for everything outside the American culture... He has opened our borders to terrorist incursions. He has promoted controversial LGBT lifestyles as superior to that of traditional American values in which marriage is a matter of one woman and one man. He has taken steps to limit the practice of Christianity in the American military, while promoting the religion of Islam at the same time. He has refused to admit persecuted Coptic Christians to the United States under the Refugee/Resettlement program, while admitting unscreened Muslims from a part of the world who traditionally hate the United States. I could go on, but these facts speak for themselves. Unfortunately, for America, nObama does not just hold traditional American values in contempt, he holds our national sovereignty and national security in contempt as well. The remainder of this article will make the case that President nObama is an absolute traitor to the people of the United States. He is determined to see America fall...

They’re dying from pneumonia, heart attacks and heart failure at higher rates than patients in other hospitals that provide more care. So much for nObama’s promise that cutting Medicare wouldn’t harm seniors.

{heritage.org} ~ The nObama Administration is responsible for an unparalleled expansion of the regulatory state, with the imposition of 229 major regulations since 2009 at a cost of $108 billion annually using the regulatory agencies’ own numbers. The actual costs are far greater... both because costs have not been fully quantified for a significant number of rules, and because many of the worst effects—the loss of freedom and opportunity, for example—are incalculable. The need for reform is urgent. The White House, Congress, and federal agencies routinely breach legislative and even constitutional boundaries, and increasingly dictate lifestyle choices rather than focusing on public health and safety. Immediate reforms should require legislation to undergo an analysis of regulatory impacts before a floor vote in Congress, and require congressional approval of each major regulation before it can take effect. Sunset deadlines should be set in law for all major rules, and independent agencies should be subject—as are executive branch agencies—to the White House regulatory review process... http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2016/05/red-tape-rising-2016-obama-regs-top-100-billion-annually

Mr. liar-Trump Goes to Washington

{peggynoonan.com} ~ What is needed among Republicans in Washington now is patience, soberness of thought, and a kind of heroic fairness. Reflection and humility wouldn’t hurt either.

One of our two great parties is either shattering or reconstituting itself. It is not united and has not been since the George W. Bush era. As the pollster Kellyanne Conway noted this week, if it were, there wouldn’t have been 17 candidates for president, and Donald liar-Trump wouldn’t be the presumptive nominee.

The optimistic thought is that it is reconstituting itself. The past year the base of the party has been kicking away from its elected and established leaders in Washington and, simultaneously, broadening itself, with new members coming in. That suggests a certain dynamism: Maybe something’s busy being born, not busy dying. We’ll see.

But almost every conservative and Republican in Washington—in politics, think tanks and journalism—backed a candidate other than Mr. liar-Trump. Every one of those candidates lost, and Mr. liar-Trump won. After November, think tanks and journals will begin holding symposia in which smart people explain How We Lost The Base.

Mr. liar-Trump’s victory was an endorsement of Mr. liar-Trump but also a rebuke to professional Republicans in Washington. It was a rebuke to comprehensive immigration plans that somehow, mysteriously, are never quite intended to stop illegal immigration; a rebuke to the kind of thinking that goes, “I know, we’ll pass laws that leave Americans without work, which means they’ll be deprived of the financial and spiritual benefits of honest labor, then we’ll cut their entitlements, because if we don’t our country will go broke.” The voters backed Mr. liar-Trump’s stands on these issues and more.

A political question for November: Does Mr. liar-Trump pick up more Democrats than he loses Republicans? Is that how he plans to win? Does he draw in enough new or non-Republican voters to make up for the millions of Republican voters he will surely lose?

In an act of determined denial, Washington Republicans and conservatives continue to see and describe Mr. liar-Trump’s nomination as the triumph of a celebrity in a culture that worships celebrity, the victory of a vulgarian in a vulgar age, the living excrescence of our shallow values and lowered standards. Also, he’s tapped into the public’s rage.

He is all of those things. But he is more, and Washington is determined to ignore the more. He understood, either intuitively or after study, that the Republican base was changing or open to change, and would expand if the party changed some policies. He declared those policies changed. And he won.

As to the matter of rage, it’s more like disrespect for those who’ve been calling the shots. If you know liar-Trump people in real life as opposed to through social media, if they are your friends and family members, you understand that “rage” doesn’t do them justice. They dislike the Republican Party, which they believe has consistently betrayed them, but liar-Trump people in person are just about the only cheerful people in politics this year. They actually have hope—the system needs a hard electric shock, he’s just the man to do it, and if it doesn’t work they’ll fire him. They’re having a good time. Here I throw in a moment I had in Manhattan Thursday afternoon. I was standing on a corner on York Avenue in the 60s when a cab screeched across two lanes to stop in front of me. “I am voting for liar-Trump!” the driver yelled through an open window. “You want to know why? He is neither right or left!” He then laughed and sped on. Not all liar-Trump supporters are quiet about it.

But back to the new Republicans—the Democrats and independents who’ve voted for Mr. liar-Trump. As usual with the Republican Party, these new friends were not cheerily invited in—who would ever think of that?—but crashed the party with the guy with the yellow hair. A lot of Washington Republicans seem to have spent the past week wondering what they always wonder: How much should we snub them? How uncomfortable should we make them? Should we not talk to them or just not give them a drink? Way to do outreach, fellas.

It is good that Paul Ryano snapped out of his smug-seeming “I’m just not ready” approach of last week, and met and talked with Mr. liar-Trump this week. When a sitting Republican speaker of the House is cool on or considering rejecting that party’s presumptive presidential nominee, more is needed than “I’m not there yet.”

He has every right not to endorse Mr. liar-Trump, but if he doesn’t, both Mr. liar-Trump and his supporters deserved more. You have to explain at length and with moral and intellectual seriousness and depth in exactly what ways he’s not worthy of your support, and you have to do it in a way that summons a response that is equally thoughtful and temperate.

Not much is known about the meeting at this point. Mr. Ryano told the press afterward that he was “encouraged” by their talk, but still declined to endorse.

In a joint statement issued soon after, Messrs. Ryano and liar-Trump said: “It’s critical that Republicans unite around our shared principles, advance a conservative agenda, and do all we can to win this fall.” They said they were “honest about our few differences” but “there are also many important areas of common ground.” There was a nod to “many millions of new voters,” who showed up for the Republican primaries, “far more than ever before in the Republican Party’s history.”

All of which strikes me as a liar-Trump win. Mr. Ryano referred to his conservatism and suggested Mr. liar-Trump holds political principles.

Mr. liar-Trump should want to bring the party together. He makes sounds that he doesn’t need to, but he does and must know it or he wouldn’t have met with GOP leaders in the first place. A party fracturing all around him will only spread unease, increase tension, and intensify sourness. He needs at least a semblance of calm so he doesn’t look every day like Thor, God of Thunder and Battle.

Those who oppose Mr. liar-Trump should do it seriously and with respect for his supporters. If he is not conservative, make your case and explain what conservatism is. No one at this point needs your snotty potshots or your supposedly withering one-liners. I confess I have lost patience with many of those declaring they cannot in good conscience support him, not because reasons of conscience are not crucial—they are, and if they apply they should be declared. But some making these declarations managed in good conscience, indeed with the highest degree of self-regard, to back the immigration proposals of George W. Bush that contributed so much to the crisis that produced Mr. liar-Trump. They invented Sarah Palin. They managed to support the global attitudes and structures that left the working class jobless. They dreamed up the Iraq war.

Sometimes I think their consciences are really not so delicate.

As for the political consultants who insult Mr. liar-Trump so vigorously, they are the ones who did most to invent him. What do they ever do in good conscience?

Memorial Day: Reflecting On Heroes

Vietnam-Memorial-Wall2

A few Memorial Days ago, I recall myself comfy on the sofa overstuffed with cookout delights, watching a documentary on TV about conscientious objectors. The program portrayed these guys as moral superiors. I thought, “You guys are able to bloviate about the evils of war and pursue careers as American artists, college professors, and so on because other brave young men went to war to fight for you; defending your freedom.”Another Memorial Day TV program featured WWII soldier and character actor Charles Durning. Durning earned three Purple Hearts. He was awarded the Bronze and Silver Stars for valor and the World War II Victory Medal. The French consul presented Durning with the National Order of the Legion of Honor.

At the 2008 National Memorial Day Concert, Durning stood at the podium and wept for his fallen brothers. Wow! Do they make character-driven courageous men like that anymore?

I served in the U.S. Army stationed at Ft. Bragg NC from 1969-1971. My entire battalion received orders for Vietnam except myself and another soldier. Thus, I never experienced serving in a combat zone.

My buddy, Gerry “Boats” Milhollen experienced combat in Vietnam. He suffered night terrors for several years and other emotional issues which cost him his marriage. Gerry said what pained him and fellow combat vets the most is that, unlike U.S. troops returning from previous wars, they never received a welcome home. Quite the opposite. Vietnam vets were spat upon and called baby killers.

I asked Gerry to share his thoughts in a tribute I recorded a few years ago titled, “Welcome Home Brother.”

I was in my late teens when my cousin Jackie's husband Norman Byrd was drafted and sent to Vietnam.

Norman never returned home. It was all pretty surreal. I found his name on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington DC.

My daughter recently retired from the U.S. Navy. She went in directly after high school and worked her way up to retiring as an officer. Her cousins on her mom's side lived in the mean hood of west Baltimore. Many became addicted to drugs. One of her cousins was murdered by thugs.

I remember my daughter telling me that when she came home on leave after basic training, she immediately noticed that she no longer had much in common with her friends. They were still kids and the military had made her an adult.

My daughter said before she retired that it pained her to see what the Navy was becoming. The discipline which had molded and shaped her was being thrown out the window due to political correctness. She said rather than training sailors, she felt like a babysitter.

I heard a black preacher tell his congregation that he would love to see the government go through the ghetto scooping up fatherless young black men for the military. They would learn to shut up, respect authority and receive a paycheck for a job well done. While the preacher's comments were tongue-in-cheek, I get his point and agree. Despite it being under attack by Obama, Leftist social engineering and political correctness, the U.S. military is still a pretty good place to turn youths into responsible adults.

Traveling the country on Tea Party Express, I had the pleasure of meeting Debbie Lee, the gold star mom of Marc Alan Lee, the first Navy Seal to die in Operation Iraqi Freedom. In honor of her decorated son, Debbie founded AmericasMightyWarriors.org which helps the families of fallen soldiers. I organized patriot music artists across America to record a song titled, “Taking Back America”. We selected 44 songs from the artists to be included in a project titled, “Tea Are the World”. All the proceeds benefit Debbie's AmericasMightyWarriors.org.

While enjoying your family cookouts, please reflect and give a nod to those whose courage and sacrifice made it all possible: the U.S. military.

Have a happy and blessed Memorial Day.

Neo-Liberalism is the biggest crime and deception against the American people and humanity.

This is the political ideology of Neo-liberalism.

The main points of Neo-liberalism should be taught in every school in the United State; this is of most importance because the American youth have the right to learn and get to know the policies of this country to choose their path to their economic freedom and the future of our country.

 

THE NEO LIBERALISM RULE FOR THE WORLD MARKET.

1-     “Liberalization” that frees corporations and private enterprise from any controls imposed by the government or any world state that interfere in international and national commerce;   no matter any damage to the environment or  how much social damage this causes.

2-     Get the support and collaboration of the IMF, The World Bank, The WTO, The Federal Bank and U.S corporations for the international promotion of the Neo-liberalism policies to facilitate international trade and investment, as in NAFTA and other U.S. trade agreements.

3-     Be competitive in the world market by demising the Unions and reduce wages by de-unionizing workers and eliminating workers' rights that had been won over many years of struggle.

4-     Work with government officials to promote the subsidizing of export and no national price controls.

5-     To get corporate total freedom of movement for capital, manufacturing plants and technology to produce goods and services for the good of the U.S people; under the slogan that "an unregulated market is the best way to increase economic growth, which will ultimately benefit everyone." It's like Reagan's "supply-side" and "trickle-down" economics -- but somehow this created the huge concentration of wealth in America. Wealth didn't trickle down to the American working people

6-     Cutting public expenditure for education and all social service and health care.

7-     Privatizing the government institutions and the enforcement of the laws and even maintenance of roads, bridges, water supply, and transportation in the name of reducing the government role to benefit the private corporations

8-     Coercing government officials to get government subsidies and tax benefits for the rich, the corporations and the Bankers

9-     Reduce government regulation of everything that could diminish profits, including protecting the environment and safety on the job.

10-  The promotion of “PRIVATIZATION”. Sell state-owned enterprises, goods and services to private investors and corporations. This includes banks, key industries, railroads, toll highways, electricity, schools, hospitals, jails and even fresh water. All this was done by bribery and coercion in the name of greater efficiency; privatization has mainly had the ill effect of a coercive monopoly and the concentrating wealth in a few hands and making the public pay even more for services and other needs.

11-  Promoting individual responsibility by eliminating the concept of government, corporate and community public social and ethical responsibility. Placing the sole burden of meeting the needs of the poor people in our society on them, and pressuring them to find the solutions for their own health care, education, social security and retirement all by themselves and blaming them, if they fail, by label them as lazy people that don’t want to work.

American Neo-Liberalism is the biggest crime and deception against the people of the United States and the world.  Around the world, neo-liberalism has been imposed by the CIA and the powerful financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank. It is raging all over Latin America. The first clear example of neo-liberalism at work came in Chile (with thanks to University of Chicago economist Milton Friedman), after the CIA-supported coup against the popularly elected Allende regime in 1973. Other Latin America countries followed, with some of the worst effects in Mexico where wages declined 40 to 50% in the first year of NAFTA while the cost of living rose by 80%. Over 20,000 small and medium businesses have failed and more than 1,000 state-owned enterprises have been privatized in Mexico. As one scholar said, "Neoliberalism means the neo-colonization of Latin America."

In the United States neo-liberalism is destroying the workers union, attacking the rights of labor (including all immigrant workers); demise welfare programs; and cut backing social programs. The Republican "Contract" on America is pure neo-liberalism. Its supporters are working hard to deny protection to children, youth, women and our planet itself; environment protection is a joke Oil franking destroyed the water supply in many states. The Republicans and Democrats are trying to trick us by deception into acceptance of this ill policy by saying this will "get government off our back." The beneficiaries of neo-liberalism are a minority of the world's people “The one per cent”. For the vast majority of the world community it brings more suffering and poverty than before.

Knowledge will give us the power to demise this greedy policy; Neo-Liberalism is the biggest crime and deception promoted by the U.S. and the UK; in fact is the strategy of the oligarchs for the colonization of the undefended small countries of the world.  "Neoliberalism means the neo-colonization of Latin America and the world"

There has been an increasing amount of people posting videos, on YouTube and Facebook with weapons threatening Donald Trump.  They are often in small groups or sometimes alone, flashing guns, money and drugs.  100 round clips to do harm, bragging about the amount their firepower, also revealing  ISIL contacts?  The inherent danger of course is a certain class of people find this socially acceptable and may do harm.  When I looked at the thumbs-up and thumbs-down on these YouTube Videos, which is the typical way we rate if we like the video there were lots of thumbs "Up" to do harm.  BLM is at the heart of it.

I have forwarded several videos to Donald Trump and I don't know how that's going to work I'm sure someone is already well aware of all of this.

Rest, little child,

In your mother's womb:

Unborn, yet waiting

For the surgeon's cold hand;

Your time is brief:

The blink of an eye

And you will be gone;

   You will not see the Sun,  

    Or the moon, or feel the breeze

Upon your face;

No hand will hold yours:

Now, you are gone;

Rest, little one,

From labors not begun -

Rest in God's hand.

 IG Confirms liar-Clinton's Email Violations 
Well, the already feverish liar-Hilly Clinton-Bernie Sanders feud should grow even more exciting. The State Department's Office of Inspector General has released its "Evaluation of Email Records Management and Cybersecurity Requirements" for secretaries of state. According to the report, "Department employees must use agency-authorized information systems to conduct normal day-to-day operations because the use of non-Departmental systems creates significant security risks." However, the reports states, "Secretary liar-Clinton never demonstrated ... that her private server or mobile device met minimum information security requirements."
          There's an important reason for the security protocols. From the report: "On January 9, 2011, the non-Departmental advisor to President liar-Clinton who provided technical support to the liar-Clinton email system notified the Secretary's Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations that he had to shut down the server because he believed 'someone was trying to hack us and while they did not get in I didn't [sic] want to let them have the chance to.' Later that day, the advisor again wrote to the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, 'We were attacked again so I shut [the server] down for a few min.' On January 10, the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations emailed the Chief of Staff and the Deputy Chief of Staff for Planning and instructed them not to email the Secretary 'anything sensitive' and stated that she could 'explain more in person.'"
          But last year liar-Clinton claimed "the system we used was set up for President liar-Clinton's office. And it had numerous safeguards. It was on property guarded by the Secret Service. And there were no security breaches."
          The report also says that "sending emails from a personal account to other employees at their Department accounts is not an appropriate method of preserving ... emails that would constitute a Federal record," and liar-Clinton "did not comply with the Department's policies that were implemented in accordance with the Federal Records Act." Moreover, "[O]fficials, ... did not — and would not — approve her exclusive reliance on a personal email account to conduct Department business, because of the restrictions in the FAM and the security risks in doing so."
          Naturally, the liar-Clinton camp is trying to brush it off. According to liar-Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon, "As this report makes clear, liar-Hilly Clinton's use of personal email was not unique, and she took steps that went much further than others to appropriately preserve and release her records." It's true that others are mentioned in the report. But the report also clarifies, "By Secretary liar-Clinton's tenure, the Department's guidance was considerably more detailed and more sophisticated. Beginning in late 2005 and continuing through 2011, the Department revised the FAM and issued various memoranda specifically discussing the obligation to use Department systems in most circumstances and identifying the risks of not doing so. Secretary liar-Clinton's cybersecurity practices accordingly must be evaluated in light of these more comprehensive directives."
          Recall that in March 2015, liar-Hilly Clinton claimed, "I fully complied with every rule that I was governed by." Bottom line: liar-Clinton is a serial liar. Of course she's guilty — probably of felonies, perjury and obstruction of justice. But be careful what you ask for. As Mark Alexander has written, if liar-Clinton is indicted, the most likely replacement will be loose lips-Biden-Warren — which he believes will be a far more formidable ticket — and it will not emerge until the Democratic National Convention.

 States Fight Back Against nObama's Tranny Decree  A coalition of eleven states and state officials filed suit against the nObama administration over the recent Department of Education letter "clarifying" that schools across the nation must accommodate transgender students in the bathroom of their choosing. The nObama administration issued the letter May 13 and said that transgender students have "equal access to educational programs and activities" — including bathrooms. If schools don't comply, federal funding could be at risk, the letter implied. The suit spearheaded by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. It alleges the nObama administration tried to create a law by executive decree when it issued the letter — a law that calls for massive policy changes.
          David Thweatt, superintendent for the Harrold Independent School District in Texas, told The Daily Signal, "This federal money obviously is our money to start with. It's coming from income taxes, et cetera, and [the nObama administration] is taking this and using our own money against us to try to blackmail us into some kind of social engineering and social experimentation in public schools." The courts have almost routinely checked nObama's executive orders, from clean power decrees to amnesty for illegal immigrants, so it's not unimaginable that nObama's bathroom legacy will also be flushed by the courts.  -The Patriot Post

 nObama Criticizes liar-Trump on World Stage 
At a press event in Japan, Barack nObama said world leaders have reason to worry about a liar-Trump presidency because the man has little knowledge about world affairs. nObama is in Japan to attend a Group of Seven (G7) summit and to visit Hiroshima. When asked Thursday about how foreign leaders view Donald liar-Trump's candidacy, nObama replied, "They are rattled by it — and for good reason. Because a lot of the proposals he has made display either ignorance of world affairs, or a cavalier attitude, or an interest in getting tweets and headlines."
          It was a cynical statement that has the potential to poison liar-Trump's diplomatic efforts if he ever were to occupy the White House. Regardless of the truth of the statement, it's improper for the chief executive to wade into election politics. It's doubly so when the president's first duty while abroad is to be America's best advocate. What is nObama saying behind closed doors to these leaders that liar-Trump may have to work with one day? This is nObama's narcissistic, partisan personality at work. If a Democrat does not take office who can further his policies, then he's going to ensure the next president starts off with a diplomatic disadvantage.  -The Patriot Post

Iran in March tested ballistic missiles, including two with the words “Israel must be wiped off the earth” emblazoned on them, according to the US and other Western powers. Under a nuclear deal signed last year between world powers and Iran, ballistic missile tests are not forbidden outright but are “not consistent” with a United Nations Security Council resolution from July 2015, US officials say...I think its time for them to be taken out.   http://www.timesofisrael.com/khamanei-us-cant-do-a-damn-thing-about-missile-program/

{nypost.com} ~ Last week’s unanimous passage of a Senate bill making it easier for 9/11 families to sue Saudi Arabia and other foreign terror sponsors was widely heralded as a major victory. It’s more of a cruel hoax... It turns out that just before the vote, Sen. Charles Schumer and other proponents of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act stuffed an amendment into the final draft allowing the attorney general and secretary of state to stop any litigation against the Saudis in its tracks. Yes, JASTA would remove the statutory restrictions that have prevented 9/11 families from taking the Saudi kingdom to court. But Schumer helped craft an entirely new section to the original bill, giving the Justice and State departments the power to stay court action indefinitely. All they have to do is inform the judge hearing the case that the US government has engaged with ­Riyadh in diplomatic talks to resolve the issue...  http://nypost.com/2016/05/24/sneaky-schumer-added-loophole-to-halt-911-saudi-suits/

{news.usni.org} ~ A mid-year review of Navy operations and maintenance funding found a $848-million shortfall, forcing the Navy to restrict flying hours, defer five ship maintenance availabilities until Fiscal Year 2017... defer continuous maintenance work for two amphibious ready groups and a carrier strike group – and nearly suspend work at the service’s largest regional maintenance center. Without enough money to continue at pace through the remainder of the fiscal year, a complex prioritization process began that looked at both lower-priority work that could be pushed back as well as what locations could absorb cuts with the least disruption. The operations and maintenance shortfall – which totals just two percent of the Navy’s O&M budget but led to some painful cuts – consists of $500 million still needed for ship depot maintenance after work delays and growth in work package scope drove up costs, $255 million for flying hours and $91 million to extend the Truman Carrier Strike Group’s deployment in the Middle East, according to U.S. Fleet Forces Command and House Armed Services Committee documents related to a Navy readiness hearing held today...You can thank nObama for this weakness. https://news.usni.org/2016/05/26/as-navy-faces-848m-om-shortfall-picking-what-maintenance-to-skip-is-full-of-risk?utm_source=USNI+News&utm_campaign=011d8e868d-USNI_NEWS_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0dd4a1450b-011d8e868d-231491269&mc_cid=011d8e868d&mc_eid=3999f18767

{lidblog.com} ~ In an interview on Monday, former President Jimmy Carter spoke of a resurgence of open racism, saying, “I don’t feel good, except for one thing: I think the country has been reawakened the last two or three years to the fact that we haven’t resolved the race issue adequately.”... Carter laid the racism at the feet of the Republican Party, saying that criticism of President nObama had “a heavy racial overtone” and that Donald liar-Trump had “tapped a waiting reservoir there of inherent racism.” It seems as if the peanut president is simply saddened by the fact that nObama’s policies have not helped the country which is the source of the criticism, and he doesn’t understand the voter anger at the government of any race held by the voters attached to liar-Trump and even Bernie Sanders...http://lidblog.com/jimmy-carter-accuses-trump-and-thegop-of-bigotry-ignores-the-hatred-in-his-heart/

{stream.org} ~ Here’s a quick smell test that I use when someone presents me with what he considers a brave and “radical” interpretation of the Gospel: Are this theory’s implications so appalling — not just for me, but the whole human race... that they would make me hope from the depths of my very soul that Christianity isn’t true? Such theories stink of brimstone. Gnostic attempts to remake Christianity as a hatred of life on earth are not so much real intellectual options as temptations from the devil aimed at the virtue of Faith. And countless saints have warned us to “flee the occasion” of sin. Any version of Christianity that would send a reasonable person on a quest for the nearest synagogue is false...https://stream.org/when-christians-turn-against-freedom/

Crime is contagious. If the Government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy." -- Justice Louis Brandeis (1856-1941)

{townhall.com} ~ Last week, this column chronicled the startling admissions of lying by White House senior adviser Ben Rhodes. Rhodes readily acknowledged to The New York Times that he lied to the public and to members of Congress during the negotiations that produced the recent Iranian nuclear deal so as to temper the "irrational" fear that some senators and representatives had of the mullahs who run the government in Iran.

He was asked -- not subpoenaed -- to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee about his lying, and he refused to show up, claiming his lies were protected by executive privilege. Because he spoke publicly about this, he has no privilege, yet nothing further happened. The committee gave up the ghost.

Also last week, in a federal court in Brownsville, Texas, the government was caught lying again -- this time by a federal judge. Here is the back story.

In 2012, President Barack nObama issued numerous executive orders directing the departments of Justice and Homeland Security to enforce a version of immigration law that the president himself had scripted after Congress declined to pass it.

The president crafted a path to permanent residence in the United States for undocumented immigrants who are the parents of children who were born here or are otherwise residents lawfully.

The president's plan would add between 4 million and 5 million people as lawful residents. That would add to the financial burdens of the states where these folks reside, because they are required by federal law to provide a social safety net -- health care, education, safety, welfare -- to all legal residents.

Hence, 26 states sued the federal government, arguing in effect that the president exceeded his constitutional powers when he issued his executive orders and that the immediate effect of their enforcement would be massive, unplanned, unfunded financial burdens on the states.

A federal judge agreed with the states and enjoined the president from enforcing his orders. During the course of the oral arguments in the case, the judge asked the lawyers from the Department of Justice who were representing the president whether the programs his executive orders established had yet begun. The lawyers replied that they had not.

On three more occasions, one orally in the same public courtroom and twice in written submissions to the court, the DOJ lawyers insisted that the president's programs had not yet begun. In reliance upon those assertions, the states asked only for an injunction going forward, not for an injunction on any applications being processed by the feds, because they were told that none existed.

The government lawyers lied.

Last week, we learned that the Department of Homeland Security has surreptitiously accepted applications from more than 100,000 undocumented immigrants for permanent residence under the terms of President nObama's unconstitutional executive orders.

The orders may be characterized as unconstitutional because the same federal judge to whom the DOJ lawyers lied, as well as a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit to which the DOJ appealed the injunction against the president, found them so. Those findings await a determination by the Supreme Court, which is expected by the end of next month.

The problem of lawyers lying to judges is extremely serious. Our system of litigation -- lawyers present facts and argue about laws, and judges rely on the truthfulness of what the lawyers have told them -- is built on trust. Because lawyers know the facts in their cases more intimately than judges do, judges rely on lawyers to tell them the truth.

At first, these DOJ lawyers lied. Then they lied about their lying. Then they reluctantly acknowledged that they had momentary lapses in understanding, an argument that the court rejected because of the repeated nature of their lying. The lawyers said the programs had not begun, when in fact they had -- to a large degree.

The judge's response in the case was curious. He ordered the DOJ lawyers to take ethics classes. I would have done differently. Lying to the court is so severe a violation of the ethical rules, so disruptive of the moral order, that its significance is diminished by the so-called cure of ethics classes.

I would have barred all lawyers who lied to me from ever appearing in my courtroom, and I would have removed them from the case. I would also have referred what I knew about them to ethics prosecutors in the states and federal districts where they are admitted.

Lawyers have an obligation of candor to the judges before whom they appear. That duty is no less serious when the lawyers work for the government than when they work for private clients.

Because the government prosecutes people who lie to it and its liars almost never can be prosecuted, government lying is grave. It is equivalent to government lawbreaking because when people to whom the government lies -- judges or litigants or members of Congress or the public -- rely on those lies, they often do so to their detriment. They lose a right or an opportunity that often cannot be recaptured.

I have often asked rhetorically whether the government works for us or we work for the government. The answer to this inquiry is obvious. It is only a fiction that the government works for us.

Yet fear of the consequences of government lying should terrify anyone who believes in the rule of law and fair play. Those consequences can be as contagious as government lawbreaking.

The Coward of Paulding County

By Craig Andresen Right Side Patriots http://www.americanpbn.com/

Hiram Georgia.hir-1.jpg?width=148

It’s a small southern town where everybody knows everybody else. It’s a place where kids ride their bikes in the streets, where people go to a favorite local diner as much to socialize as to eat and a place where folks step up when one of their own goes down.

I’ve never been to Hiram but I’ve been to plenty of small towns just like it. In fact, I live in one just like it.

So what is it that makes Hiram different…at least this week?

Hiram Georgia…in Paulding County…population 2,331, plus 1…coward.

Last Friday, 79 white crosses were erected along highway 92, on land owned by Hiram, on public land…to remember the 79 Paulding County Georgia residents who gave the ultimate sacrifice while serving our nation….while protecting us all.

TAIL SPIN OF AMERICA

Hope and change? Rather Hope to change! Putting the Rule of Law; the economy; our traditional values and mores into a tail spin; to total destruction of our Nation before anyone notices Obama's departure from his Reign of Tyranny. The transgender is one of his last attempts to jeopardize the Rule of Law,The Constitution, and everyone of the State's economy, and State sovereignty. In addition, he is travelling to the Far East, lighting fires of subliminal aggression, and agitation; setting up the next Administration for failure, rekindling and inflaming past world conflicts .

There has been much hot air conversation about his Treason, yet it has been tolerated: Why? Obama has not been held responsible, or liable for his blatant successful attempt to destroy our Nation. Over 20,000 destructive executive orders, and there is no real alarm; but rather passive acceptance of them; using all agencies to write rules and regulations, bypassing the Rule of Law; Congress, The Sovereignty of States, and the Constitution; ultimately, undermining every rational American.

Yes, he will leave OFFICE shortly, however, his mark of destruction of the USA will last!
The intent is to tail spin America, as his lasting legacy of hatred for it.

A most insidious form of fear is that which masquerades as common sense or even wisdom, condemning as foolish, reckless, insignificant or futile the small, daily acts of courage which help to preserve man's self-respect, freedom and their God given human rights and dignity. It is not easy for people conditioned to fear by the main stream news media the propaganda machinery of this corrupt system of government, that might is possible for people to free themselves from the enervating oppressive of fear, that under the most crushing police state machinery, our courage will rises up again and again, because fear is not the natural state of civilized man.Join the fight for America’s future and economic freedom.

SLIGHT OF THE SOCIALIST HAND

It is almost impossible to convince a Progressive, a Socialist, a Marxist that they are the same thing: a budding Communist.
Samuel Gompers, leader of the AFL, once told Socialists,"Economically you are unsound,socially you are wrong,industrially you are an impossibility".

It is easier threading a camel through a needle than to convince a brainwashed political socialist neophyte that he or she is what they are. They will tell you that the rich are greedy; depriving others of their wealth, and that it is social injustice that they are hoarding the wealth for only themselves.
They will tell you that spreading the wealth is infinite, and that income inequality is not social justice.

They believe that slavery was ended by Democrats; it was Lincoln,a Republican, who with the Emancipation Proclamation freed them. However, they claim that he was really a Democrat; then who was Jefferson Davis, the Confederate States' President; the Democrat stronghold who enslaved the Negro, and who were enriched by this industry. It is a contradiction; they are blind to this fact.

Furthermore,the Black voter was swindled into believing that it was The Democrats who freed their ancestors from 'Slavery'. The fact is,they are still enslaved due to Democrat politicians in their perspective States.

The Mexican, and Black population are the target,coveted by the Dems because they are the least informed, and least educated. They are game for being duped for the Dem vote; pandered to with promises of freebees.

The Socialist/Marxists have one thing right: class conflict is their aim, and they have been successful in inducing that by injecting social division tactics, providing ludicrous propaganda into that element of American lemming population.

NEO-LIBERALISM KILL THE AMERICAN DREAM

By Juan Reynoso – WTP- activist. www.represent.us

Texusa2016@gmail.com

The fact is that most Americans are being brainwash and indoctrinate into believing that Capitalism and the neo liberalism economic system is better than Democrat socialism.

Neoliberalism, Is the Republicans and Democrats politico-economic theory favoring free trade, privatization, minimal government intervention in business and the reduced of public expenditure on social services and education. This economic politico theory is the result of the slavery of the American working class and the huge inequality of wealth and income in the U.S. The only winners of this ill neo liberal economic system are the oligarchs, the elite U.S. Corporations, the Bankers and the corrupt Washington politicians that betray the American people.

The Neo-Liberalist,  place money and power before the people,  they believe that the private sector "Corporations, the Banking system and all services including the communication system should be privatized to benefit the investors and owners and   not the general public; they believe that every man is responsible for their economic and welfare and that they do not have any responsibility toward the community and the citizens of this country, they do not want any government controls so they can exploit the community to enrich themselves. The result of this ill system was the economic catastrophe of 2008 and the continuation of this ill system will be the down fall of the Dollar and the world economic, in 2016 - 2017.

Now Democrat socialism is placing the people before given money and power to the few oligarchs and corporate elite that control our country. This economic system is essential to stop the concentration of wealth and benefit the whole country by promoting education, good jobs, living wages, quality of life, health and minimize poverty. The Neo-liberalism was implemented by Ronald Reagan and followed by all presidents, this economic system give control of the country to the oligarchs and the elite multinational corporations to enrich themselves, making millions of Americans economic slaves by controlling labor the income of the American working class and the market place. Neo-Liberalism opens the gate for the greedy corporations to monopolized, control commerce and destroys small business to eradicate competition. America today is a conglomerate of elite business monopoly that controls our economic and destroyed the dream of millions of Americans that today live in poverty and extreme poverty.  The choice is ours; to continue on this path of self-destruction and continue promoting this Neo-Liberalist system of greed and destruction or change to a Democrat more social economic system that will be beneficial to all Americans and not the few oligarchs that control our country. 

Democrat socialism.

 What to Make of liar-Trump's Justice League 
The 2016 election is a four- or maybe eight-year proposition. The Supreme Court, on the other hand, is a generational one. And that makes the stakes quite high in choosing a president, because the next one will pick as many as four new justices. No pressure.
          We know liar-Hilly Clinton will nominate only leftists to the bench, just as Barack nObama has. We also know that the Republican Senate is gambling by not confirming Merrick Garland, because if the GOP loses the chamber and Garland is not yet confirmed, nObama or liar-Clinton may yank his nomination in favor of someone even further left.
          Which brings us to Donald liar-Trump. The type of judges liar-Trump would nominate has been the subject of question and speculation. Until now. On Wednesday, he took the unusual step of releasing a list of 11 solid conservatives he would consider nominating. It may go a long way toward uniting the party behind its presumptive nominee.
      The list is as follows:
Third Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Thomas Hardiman
Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Raymond Kethledge
Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Diane Sykes
Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Steven Colloton
Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Raymond Gruender
Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals William H. Pryor
Colorado Supreme Court Justice Allison Eid
Michigan Supreme Court Associate Justice Joan Larsen
Minnesota Supreme Court Associate Justice David Stras
Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Willett
Utah Supreme Court Associate Justice Thomas Lee (brother of Sen. Mike Lee)
          Legal scholar John Yoo writes, "Everyone on the list is an outstanding legal conservative. All are young, smart, and committed. They would excel in any comparison with anyone whom liar-Hilly Clinton would appoint to the Supreme Court. Several of the possibilities, such as Tom Lee of Utah, Allison Eid of Colorado, and David Stras of Minnesota, are former law clerks of Justice Clarence Thomas, while others, such as Steve Colloton of Iowa and Joan Larsen of Michigan, clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia. They are joined by other well-known judicial conservatives, such as Diane Sykes, Don Willet, Ray Kethledge, and Bill Pryor."
          Most of these picks are from outside the Beltway or East Coast elite. Almost half are from state courts, which could help with the balance of power between state and federal governments. Lee and Sykes in particular are likely part of an effort to win over some of the #Neverliar-Trump figures who follow Sen. Lee or Sykes' husband Charlie, a prominent Wisconsin talk-radio host. The list also closely resembles one made by The Heritage Foundation. All of this is evidence that liar-Trump is aware of the need to please his right flank.
          Notably, Sixth Circuit Judge Jeffrey Sutton and DC Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh were two prominent conservatives excluded from the list, perhaps because both rejected challenges to nObamaCare. If that's the case, it's encouraging. Some are making hay about the absence of Ted Cruz, too, but that's a stretch. Cruz has repeatedly said he's not interested, and liar-Trump gains little by naming him.
          Previous Republican picks have not always panned out. Ronald Reagan chose Anthony Kennedy (albeit after Senate Democrats outrageously smeared and defeated Robert Bork), George H.W. Bush picked David Souter, and George W. Bush gave us John Roberts, who saved nObamaCare twice. Democrat picks, on the other hand, never end up being more conservative, so we don't need a list from liar-Hilly.
          If a President liar-Trump were to nominate one good justice and three bad ones, to analogize with baseball, batting .250 is better than batting .000. But this also isn't baseball.
          Can liar-Trump win in November? Indeed he can. It will be a difficult road, but we shouldn't underestimate his support — especially against an incredibly weak liar-Clinton. As far as this list of judicial picks, we should remember liar-Trump's flip-flopping record, general disinterest in the judiciary, and total disregard for the Constitution, and take this list with a truckload of salt. Still, if conservatives are convinced there's even a slight chance liar-Trump is playing it straight, this effort will only help him in November.  -The Patriot Post

 OPINION IN BRIEF 
Veronique de Rugy: "Conveniently, Congress adopted an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 by Massachusetts Democrat Niki Tsongas to force the military to only buy shoes with every component made in the USA — a feature that only applies to New Balance. It's a good deal for the administration, the company, its lobbyists and the members of Congress whose districts house the New Balance factories. It's not good for taxpayers (the New Balance shoes are $30 more expensive than shoes currently available at troop stores), and it's not good for new recruits, who went from being able to choose among 14 pairs of sneakers to being able to choose among three pairs and may see more foot injuries as a result. And that, my friend, is how interest groups are compelled to support things they don't like. They get a government-granted privilege that cheats taxpayers and consumers — our troops, in this case."    -The Patriot Post

{aei.org} ~ New federal overtime pay regulations will make more than 4 million employees newly eligible for overtime pay — the earnings threshold will be $47,476 vs. $23,660 previously  — when they work more than 40 hours a week... So it seems like a pretty big deal. The Wall Street Journal calls the change “one of the most far-reaching regulations issued during President Barack nObama’s administration” and explains that the rule will “have a sweeping effect on workers, employers and industries across the nation including retail, fast-food, universities and nonprofits.” It’s one thing for Washington to change a key labor regulation, but that change then needs to be implemented by thousands of employers. And there will be tradeoffs. There always are. A new analysis from Goldman Sachs doubts bosses will make big changes for workers who only occasionally work more than 40 hours per week — workers who account for about a fourth of the affected overtime hours, as GS calculates...     http://www.aei.org/publication/impact-of-obamas-new-overtime-rules/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=052016

liar-Trump’s Foreign Policy Advisor Defends liar-Trump by Claiming that liar-Trump is Lying
by Leon H. Wolf
.
{redstate.com} ~ I have lost count of the number of times people who work for Donald liar-Trump have “defended” him by saying, “Listen, he doesn’t mean these crazy things he says.”... That’s not historically been something that has commended Presidential candidates to the embrace of the American public, when that’s the best thing you can say about your candidate. That’s especially true of liar-Trump, who has no governing record and whose word is basically the only thing we have to go on. And what we have learned about his word thus far is that it is not worth much, and that everything he says can and often will be taken back mere hours later, regardless of the topic. So while this particular defense of liar-Trump might or might not be true, it’s inevitable conclusion is that no one can actually know what liar-Trump will really do if he is elected, since his own people actually defend him on the basis that he’s a serial liar and exaggerator. The latest iteration of this particular farce comes courtesy of liar-Trump’s foreign policy advisor, retired Lt. Gen Michael Flynn...     http://www.redstate.com/leon_h_wolf/2016/05/19/trumps-foreign-policy-advisor-defends-trump-claiming-trump-lying/?utm_source=rsmorningbriefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl

Then, on the same day, the victim, Juanita Broaddrick, described for the first time – in a WND exclusive sit-down interview conducted in Broaddrick’s Arkansas home – exactly how the alleged 1978 sexual assault had deeply and permanently scarred her life throughout the intervening decades. And Broaddrick mentioned something else: Of all mainstream journalists, the one she spoke to recently on the phone, seeking an update from Broaddrick on the rape incident and its aftermath, was NBC’s Andrea Mitchell. How ironic, then, when Thursday, Mitchell said on-air that Broaddrick’s rape allegation, first televised by her own network in a sensational “Dateline” segment in 1999, had been “discredited.”...     http://www.wnd.com/2016/05/clinton-rape-accuser-blasts-biased-nbc-anchor/

{dailysignal.com} ~ Senate Majority Leader Mitch McCon-nell, R-Ky., has apparently given up on another battle front: Stopping America’s young women from being forced into military combat... That isn’t exactly what he said this week when asked his views on whether women should be made to register for the draft, but it’s the logical outcome of his position. The question arose because the National Defense Authorization Act, likely to come to the Senate floor next week, contains language to draft women.

{dailycaller.com} ~ New evidence submitted in an ongoing lawsuit against Rolling Stone suggest that the legal team of Jackie Coakley, the University of Virginia (UVA) student responsible for a massive gang rape hoax... has been withholding evidence from an ongoing lawsuit. The withheld evidence offers strong evidence of what has long been suspected: That Coakley’s infamous fake gang-rape was concocted as part of a convoluted catfishing scheme to win a boy’s affection. The new evidence is part of the ongoing defamation lawsuit filed by UVA dean Nicole Eramo against Rolling Stone magazine. While Eramo is not suing Coakley directly, she has played a major role in the case, as Eramo’s lawyers argue Coakley is an egregious serial liar Rolling Stone should have known not to trust. As part of their suit, Eramo’s attorneys have successfully subpoenaed Coakley for all the relevant communications she made during the fall of 2012, when her alleged rape supposedly occurred. Coakley has claimed to have fully cooperated in the case, but on Monday, Eramo’s attorneys filed new evidence in court suggesting Coakley has continued to hide some evidence...     http://dailycaller.com/2016/05/19/uva-jackie-email-liar-new-evidence-lawsuit/

The campaign up to this point can only be described as a colossal failure. So far, conservative groups have dramatically outspent liberal counterparts, taking the case directly to the American people that the President cannot be allowed to fundamentally transform the nation’s highest court in the waning months of his administration. In addition to their failed paid advertising campaign, President nObama and his allies have tried to make their argument in media appearances with no avail. Julie Pace of The Associated Press reported that focus groups she observed were “completely uninterested” in this debate and that it would not impact voters’ decisions this fall...

Lake explained that targeting charities that front for terrorist organizations was a “key tool” of the Bush administration’s war on terrorism after 9/11. During the Bush presidency, the Treasury targeted eight such charities located in the United States, including “al-Qaeda fronts such as the U.S. branch of the al-Haramain Foundation and the Benevolence International Foundation. In this period, the U.S. government also blacklisted groups that raised money for the Palestinian terror group Hamas, including the Holy Land Foundation, and for the Lebanese militia and political party Hezbollah, like the Good Will Charitable Organization.” In contrast, the only charity to be designated under the nObama administration was the Tamil Foundation, which funded the Sri Lankan terrorist organization the Tamil Tigers.

Cyber-city rises from the desert in Israel

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Here in the middle of the Negev Desert, a cyber-city is rising to cement Israel's place as a major digital power. The new development, an outcropping of glass and steel, will concentrate some of the country's top talent from the military, academia and business in an area of just a few square miles.

No other country is so purposefully integrating its private, scholarly, government and military cyber-expertise.

Israel is a nation of 8 million people with little in the way of natural resources. But in global private investment into cybersecurity firms, it is second only to the United States, with half a billion dollars flowing to the sector annually. Israel has not only vowed to repel the thousands of daily hack attacks against everything from the electric grid to ATMs, but has promised to build its commercial cyber-sector into an economic powerhouse.

More quietly, the Jewish state is also at the cutting edge of cyber-offense, developing stealthy computer weapons to penetrate its enemies' networks. The United States and Israel, working together, launched the world's most destructive cyberweapon known to date, Stuxnet, which was let loose on Iran's Natanz nuclear enrichment facility to devastating effect.

But where the two countries diverge is in Israel's apparent ability, because of its size, history, geography and culture, to organize itself to defeat cyberthreats. Different sectors of society - that in the United States do not have a tradition of collaborating - appear willing in Israel to work closely together under a strong centralized authority.

"You will not find it in the United States," said Eviatar Matania, the head of the National Cyber Bureau. "First, we have more enemies than others. We understand that the cyberthreat is here and now. Second, a lot of Israel's high-tech and innovation culture is in cyber. This is where we can gain an advantage over other countries in defending ourselves. And thus, we see cyber not just as a threat to mitigate, but also as one of our economic engines." And that strategy is the foundation of Beersheba.

A cyber emergency response team, which was launched in 2014 to respond to cyber crises, will be housed in the midst of this booming development. It is part of the National Cyber Security Authority, which is mandated to protect all private-sector systems.

Nearby, next to a new advanced technology park that already houses cyber firm incubators and global companies such as PayPal, Lockheed Martin and Deutsche Telekom, backhoes are preparing a construction site that will become the headquarters of the Israeli military's cyberdefenders.

Eventually, the nation's secretive, elite cyberattack branch - the army's Unit 8200 - will also burrow in here. The two branches are scheduled to merge next year. They in turn will work closely with the National Cyber Security Authority. Joining the effort will be the Shin Bet, Israel's security agency, which as well as its role in Israel and the occupied territories, has been a key cyber player for more than a decade. And completing the complex is Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, which is the nation's top school for cybersecurity. The university will also work with the cyber-response team.

"What you get out of that is the research capabilities that academia brings, the real-world knowledge that the tech firms bring, the hands-on experience that the military brings, alongside the entrepreneurial ability that the start-ups bring," said Nadav Zafrir, a former head of Israel's Unit 8200, who is himself now a tech entrepreneur. "You put all that together, it sparks magic."

Israel will never achieve a cyberespionage network on the scale of the United States. But it wants to be feared in the region, and its computer hacking and spying skills are sophisticated and innovative.

"The United States has more capabilities than Israel in cyberspace," said Gabi Siboni, director of the cybersecurity program at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv. "But we are small. We are very anxious, and it's the difference between a speedboat and an aircraft carrier. We go very fast." So central is security seen for the state's survival that every citizen - men and women alike, with exceptions for ultra-Orthodox Jews and the Arab population - is required after high school to complete a term of military service. The cream of the computer science and math crop are scouted by the elite military cyber-units when they are as young as 14.

"If you ask me what's the biggest secret of the Israeli high-tech system, it's the military's ability to look at people when they are in high school," Zafrir said. The roots of Israel as a cyber power go back to the 1973 Yom Kippur War, said retired Brig. Gen. Yair Cohen, another former head of Unit 8200, which employs thousands of soldiers and serves a role similar to the National Security Agency. In less than three weeks, Israel lost more than 2,000 soldiers largely because of a dramatic failure of intelligence.

As a result, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) decided to reinforce their signals intelligence arm, Unit 8200. The unit sought the best code-makers and code-breakers, Cohen said. It also began to conduct its own research and development, with soldiers building radio interception, and now cyber tools. "We cannot wait for someone in the United States to give us technology," said Cohen,who now runs his own cyber venture capital firm.

Today, the military is working closely with the National Cyber Bureau, and is seeking legislation that will allow it "to be a major player in defending the nation" against cyberattacks and to take action against adversaries, said Brig. Gen. Danny Bren, head of the branch in charge of defending the military's computer networks.

The military hopes to establish a cyber-command by the second half of next year, a move the United States took seven years ago to merge the missions of attack and defense. Bren likens it to boxing. "You don't see the boxers only throwing punches, or only blocking," he said. "They must do both."

Israel's ability to play offense came to light in a joint operation with the United States called "Olympic Games," a campaign to disrupt Iran's nuclear enrichment program. Discovered by private-sector researchers in June 2010, the computer worm Stuxnet caused nearly a thousand centrifuges at Natanz to spin out of control, requiring replacements. Never officially acknowledged by either country, the campaign nonetheless showed the world what was possible with a cyberweapon and it spurred other countries - Iran chief among them - to set up cyber-commands.

"This global understanding drove everybody to a cyberweapon force buildup," Bren said.

But Israel's desire to act has sometimes created friction with even its closest ally. In 2012, Iran detected a series of cyberattacks that wiped data from networks in its oil industry. Investigating the malware, private-sector researchers discovered a cyberespionage tool that had been created jointly with the United States years earlier, but which Western officials said was launched by Israel in a unilateral operation. That deployment annoyed the National Security Agency, as it led to the discovery of the spy tool, dubbed Flame.

But, said a former senior U.S. intelligence official, "it was generally viewed as being worse for the Israelis than it was for us" because it was their primary cyberespionage tool.

"Any time two states agree to tackle complex and consequential projects together, misunderstandings and occasional disagreements are inevitable," said Stephen Slick, a former CIA station chief in Tel Aviv who now teaches at the University of Texas in Austin. Nonetheless, he said, "a deep reservoir of mutual respect and trust exists between the Israeli and U.S. security communities, with both sides recognizing the benefits of close collaboration in cyber-activities."

High on the 22nd floor of Israel Electric Corp., the nation's main electric utility, a jumbo-screen on a wall shows the frequency and intensity of attempted hacks into the government-owned company's network. Israel Electric, located in Haifa on the Mediterranean Sea, two hours north of Beersheba, is one of the most targeted entities in Israel.

A successful attack could disrupt power to virtually all of Israel, said Yosi Shneck, the company spokesman. But to date, none has succeeded. His engineers have help from an outside source: Shin Bet. Besides thwarting physical terrorist attacks, the security agency is responsible for protecting 30 or so critical entities from cyberattack. The list was drawn up by Israel's parliament and includes the Bank of Israel, oil refineries and the blood bank. That is the equivalent of the FBI regulating major U.S. businesses or private entities for cybersecurity - an authority that would alarm American companies and civil libertarians and could not secure support in Congress.

But in Israel, the fear of a major attack is greater than concern for privacy, said Rami Efrati, a former National Cyber Bureau official.

The Shin Bet does not monitor the companies' networks. It sniffs out threats before they hit the firms. It also relies on sensors the companies install in their systems to gather information that is then fed back to the security agency. In turn, Unit 8200 and Mossad, the foreign intelligence agency, also share cyberthreat data with Shin Bet. By contrast, in the United States, it took years to pass a law to encourage - not compel - companies to share computer data with the government.

Yaron Wolfsthal, who heads an IBM research lab at Ben-Gurion University here, is anticipating more cross-pollination in the desert, as he awaits the arrival of army cyber-units.

"We can work with them even before they are discharged," he said, noting some will be working toward advanced degrees. And, he added, "The technical engineers will go from their home to the base everyday, and on the way, they will see banners for all the companies here. This primes them to consider working in those companies later on."

The military's elite cyber-units, for their part, have created a climate that fosters innovation and encourages people to stay even after their terms of service are up - three years for men and two for women. "Unit 8200 works like a start-up," said Tomer Touati, a captain who stayed for six years and is now with PeriTech, a cyber venture capital firm. "You have your own R&D team. You can pick up the phone or send an email to another R&D team and say, 'Look, I think if you do this and this, we can work faster or better.' "

And Israel is also grooming its next generation of warriors to populate the cyber-infrastructure it is building.

At Ohel Shem High School in Ramat Gan outside Tel Aviv, a uniformed recruiter sits in on sophomore math classes, scouting candidates for the units that protect the military's networks.

Military cyber-officers are now mentoring students at four Israeli high schools that have advanced courses in math and computer science. The two-year-old program has more than 800 students.

"My dream since childhood is to work in computers and cyber," said Yarin Zeevi, 18. "This," she said, "is what I can give to Israel, as a citizen and as a soldier To lure students to sign up for cyber-units, the military organizes trips to its training base near Tel Aviv where students can get a taste of the action. One recent excursion featured a "hack-a-thon" in which the students were assigned to build an Android app that would allow a smartphone to take a person's picture and then use facial-recognition software to search databases for a match.

"We are looking for talent," said Capt. Rotem Bashi, a commander in a cyberdefense unit, "because the . . . next war will be in cyberspace."

since man discovered that a god did not determine his destiny, he then began to question all authority, and decided that he had the ability to choose by exercising free will, thus, he realized freedom depended on him and not given by others unless to yearn for enslavement.  He further discovered that man has universal, inalienable rights belonging to him unquestionably, just because he is charge of, and responsible only to himself.  he is independent! sovereign! laissez-faire!

Americans are a stubborn lot; we don't take kindly to coercion.  we will snap back against tyranny; bullies, and thugs here and around the world. the right to rebel is always secure and present.  never underestimate an American Patriot, IT IS FATAL TO DO SO!!!

THE MOB'S DEMOCRACY

THE Barnum Circus is not dead; the show must go on no matter who cares!  The only winner in this political contention are the ticket sellers; the people/the customers have been duped once again, and the fat lady is laughing all the way to the trough.  When people have unrealistic expectations due to emotional/knee jerk responses it is no better than a circus animal being conditioned to perform, knowing that the reward is frothing with blood.

The fresh meat is the tease for man, the citizen wishing for freshness in government leadership.  Well, it always winds up that the leadership is questing for power, control and wealth. Power to rearrange our destiny; Controlling our freedom; and stripping our wealth for their gain.

Yes, they have declared our Nation a Democracy; a hair strand away from absolute rule.  No more do you hear that we are a Republic; it is not politically correct, but it is so wrong. Within a democracy the majority will always win; the minority will go unheard, and unrepresented.  In theory it works; in practice it is an absolute rule.  Most educators will indoctrinate their bewildered pupils with the notion that we are a democracy. Of course, the are mostly socialists/progressives who deny the Constitution's significance, as well as the Bill of Rights' rightful place.

A democracy is derived from demos krateo: "rule of the people.. dangerously handed power to the impassioned,unenlightened masses"  It is "the government of the worst".  A REPUBLIC --the res publica, or a "public thing".   "It was meant to secure the common good  through "the ministration of the most worthy, enlightened men. It was meant to be a representative government, one elected; not governed by the masses or impassioned, impulsive; flavor of the day government.  In part, that was the beginning of the demise of the Roman Republic when they adopted and adapted the Greek influence on the Roman concept of a Republic and rule of law.  The stoic and the liberal never mix well; together cannot sustain freedom without a struggle to keep it.

Now, we are on the road to choose the most unworthy, the most unqualified, the most non representative leaders who are emboldened by the mob or the uniformed masses. 

Yes, we are one step away from absolute rule: the mob's choice!

The face of government, and prospective candidates have changed to entertainment for the masses.  The most funny, the

most charismatic, the most tricks wins the day and votes.  Bring in the clown: the people are bored, needing to be pacified, need fragmented sound bites, need promises of treats, hopes and dreams. Is it not what happened as the Roman Empire was falling?: the Colosseum, the gladiators, the clowns, midgets, lions and elephants, the outright slaughter, mayhem and royalty bidding them on to treat the hungry mob; when it ceased to be a Republic. The 'dole' was the note of the day; same as food stamps and welfare today!

The face is a reflection of us.  the government is our face; if we are the government?!  Yet, we seem content as long as we keep on laughing in our name it is ordained and bestowed; the power is a loaded cannon pointed directly at all of us; still laughing in the face of Constitutional death; as the Bill of Rights is eaten away by the lions of power; as the clowns pull the strings on our doomed destiny. 

The face of time will remind our grand children what we did, and did not do.  They will remind who is left to tell.

THE CONDITIONED MAN

A silenced People is not a Nation; rather a conditioning by license, certification, and registration; restricting voice and concern, imposed by a government not owned by the People. Fear to associate with dissention, discontent, differing opinion; fear of being exposed by the employer, church, the school, and government.  Political Correctness is just a tool to forbid expression; killing artistic comment, yet it should inspire, in spite of it.

As the People crumble in the shadow of Big Brother, and his affiliates the People acquiesce without protest, or a good fight; too busy? or too afraid? Of course, it would be ludicrous to risk home, job, financial security, marriage, and family just to save a Nation in my name; who am I?, one might say; what can I do?  What does it matter?

Yes, we are conditioned as if we were rats in the Skinner Box.  Oh, the conditioning of man is to test his will to think, AND ACT outside the box.

GOVERNMENT'S FREEDOM

We, not unlike, the Romans are being subtly, and overtly invaded on all borders, in spite of our resistance. No one wants to live in the Middle East Regions; nor Mexico; or the Far East, nor Africa.  The People of the World come to the USA because they want what we have, en-total, but want to deny Americans freedom, resources, choice, and space.  Our politicians seem content with this invasion and occupation of people who despise our existence; why? 

The reason?: Our Government despises us as well; they are importing them because it justifies its hold on us; with the guise of protecting us from them, and that should be good enough for us; just accept it! By complicating,  jeopardizing, and compromising Americans they can control, and manipulate us; demanding more from us for 'our own good'.

The Government knows that we know that it is made up of many corrupt bureaucratic institutions and agencies, and it needs to have a looming threat hanging over our heads to justify their existence.

It has painted all of us into the corner.  With a broad brush that has crushed our sovereignty; handcuffed our freedom, denied our voice, and give us promises that we can trust it.  In reality, we are in confinement; suspect, and restricted to exercise our rights and freedoms.  We have not noticed the impact because it keeps us guessing; awaiting new surprises of oppression, con-jobs; swindles and lies.

THE DRUMS WARN THE DAY

Organized crime is not completely dead: Old Hillary is disorganized crime; Trump is more organized.  The Brown Shirts are raising their heads and the Socio-Communists are sweeping the youth movement.  How wondrous our Nation's calamity!; the anarchists/useful idiots would claim.  Enemies everywhere; suspicion, blame, fear, threats, scapegoating; anger and knee jerk emotions; just what our Founding Fathers warned about; yet it is the mode of the day, as the half-informed and uniformed rule the day called Democracy: mob rule mentality replacing a Republic. 

We hope for the best, always expect the worst, as suggested in the Federalist Papers.  The safe guards are in the Constitution; Publius/ 'The Trio' articulated the consequences of rejecting it.  Now we ignore it, because no one reads them.

We are doomed by our own decay of wisdom, and understanding of consequences for our action and in action.  Within our lofty ignorance, we dispel the significance of what they said.  Hence, we will reap the scraps of history.
