Ron Paul: Political Immorality And Personal Immorality – OpEd

So True ...

http://www.eurasiareview.com/26122017-ron-paul-political-immorality-and-personal-immorality-oped/

Many Americans have been shocked by recent revelations of the extent of sexual harassment in Congress. However, no one should be too surprised that those who spend their lives defending and expanding the welfare-warfare state engage in immoral personal conduct. It is only natural that an immoral system, like the welfare-warfare state, tends to attract individuals likely to practice personal immorality.

The welfare-warfare state is built on a foundation of taxation and fiat currency controlled by a secretive central bank. While some type of taxation may be necessary to fund the few legitimate functions of government, taking people’s money to fund a redistributive welfare state at home and a global empire abroad is nothing more than theft. The Federal Reserve’s erosion of purchasing power is also a form of theft.

The welfare-warfare state relies on violence. Every law preventing us from living our lives as we choose — whether forbidding us from working for below minimum wage, preventing us from smoking marijuana or drinking raw milk, telling private business owners who can and cannot use what restroom, or requiring us to purchase government-approved health insurance — rests on the threat of force being used against those who refuse to obey.

The warfare side of the welfare-warfare state is obviously rooted in violence. War inevitably leads to deaths, including the deaths of innocents. A permanent warfare state is also the quickest way to lose our liberties. This is why the Founding Fathers counseled against standing armies and foreign entanglements.

The neocons and “humanitarian interventionists” who control our foreign policy have disregarded the wisdom of the Founders. They actually promote endless wars not to protect our security but to promote “democracy” and “universal human rights.” They are impervious to evidence of the failure of military interventions to achieve these goals and indifferent to the human and fiscal costs of endless war. They dismiss the loss of innocent lives — including the deaths of children — as unavoidable “collateral damage,” while using their influence in the media to spread pro-war propaganda. They also smear their opponents as aiding America’s enemies and sympathizing with terrorists.

No one holding political power wants to admit the system he supports is immoral and a failure. Therefore, defenders of the welfare-warfare state rely on lies and deceptions. They ignore all evidence of the failure of big government to accomplish its ends, instead pretending they can fix the system with a few reforms. They also work with allies in the media to promulgate the lie that without the welfare state the masses would remain poor and uneducated, and without the warfare state we would be overwhelmed by those who hate us for our freedoms. They never mention that many foreigners hate America because of the suffering caused by our hyper-interventionist foreign policy.

The welfare-warfare state is built on violence and deceit. It is thus inevitable that many of those participating in this immoral system will combine their immoral politics with immoral personal conduct. Hopefully the revelations of sexual misconduct among the welfare-warfare state’s Capitol Hill and media defenders will lead more Americans to question the morality and the wisdom of allowing the federal government to run the world, run the economy, and run our lives.

Ten “conspiracies” that became FACT in 2017… conspiracy analysts proven correct yet again.

https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-12-21-ten-conspiracies-that-became-fact-in-2017-conspiracy-analysts-proven-correct.html

The term “conspiracy theorist” was created by the CIA as a derogatory term to limit the so-called “Overton window” of allowable debate. When the establishment wants to shut down all discussion of a specific topic — say, the 9/11 WTC 7 building planned demolition, or more recently the Mandalay Bay mass shooting in Vegas that was obviously carried out by multiple shooters — they simply slap the “conspiracy theory” label on it.

Ordinary people, driven by social conformity and the fear of being labeled a “conspiracy theorist,” then flee the subject. Mission accomplished.

Except there’s a problem for the status quo: More and more “conspiracy theories” are being outed as FACTS. Matt Agorist from The Free Thought Project has put together a list of 10 former “conspiracies” that have all been proven to be factually true in the last year. I’ve reprinted the full list below. Be sure to read Conspiracy.news for the latest updates on real conspiracies now being proven true, such as the fact that Barack Obama protected Hezbollah drug runners in order to appease Iran while handing them the money to build nuclear weapons.

1. Hollywood and the political elite have been exposed for their rampant and horrifying sex abuse against men, women, and children alike
Just last year, as good people tried to point out that although Pizzagate may not have taken place in some restaurant in DC, the idea of sex abuse among the elite was no laughing matter. However, anyone who mentioned sex abuse among the elite was scoffed at and ridiculed by those in the mainstream.

This ridicule was in spite of the fact that the former speaker of the house admitted to raping multiple little boys and was sentenced to prison last year. This ridicule was also in spite of the fact that whistleblowers have been shouting from the mountain tops about the rampant abuse—for decades—only to have their cries fall on deaf ears.

This year, however, it was different. With Harvey Weinstein as the catalyst, former victims came forward and began publicly naming their abusers and even getting the police involved. The American people also learned that their ostensible representation in D.C. was spending millions to silence the victims of their apparent uncontrollable sex abuse.

No longer will companies like Disney be able to hire convicted pedophiles as the world looks the other way—nor will sicko politicians be allowed the immunity to rape and pillage as they see fit. 2017 will be known as the year the victims fought back.

2. Weather modification just jumped from “chemtrail” conspiracy theory into mainstream reality, as Congress began holding hearings on geoengineering
Geoengineering is finally going mainstream as the U.S. House Subcommittee on Environment and Subcommittee on Energy Hearing, in November, held the first House hearing about the science that until now has generally been considered a “conspiracy theory” and relegated to the fringe’s of society by the Praetorian Guard mainstream media — controlled by the ruling power-elite oligarchy.

The controversial subject of climate engineering or weather modification – which was popularized, and oversimplified with the term “chem-trails” – is stepping from the shadows and into the light of public scrutiny for the first time.

The congressional hearing, titled “Geoengineering: Innovation, Research, and Technology,” was attended by members of the House committees as well as representatives of think tanks, academics, and researcher scientists to discuss the future of geoengineering research.

During the first hearing, the potential need to set up a regulatory structure within which experiments would be allowed, at a set scale, was discussed. Now, those who deny the fact that government is involved in geoengineering will be the conspiracy theorists.

3. 20,000 documents were released in August proving the EPA conspired with chemical companies to unleash deadly toxic substances on the public
Highly toxic chemical compounds made by Dow, Monsanto, DuPont and other companies were being developed and marketed in ever greater quantities, and federal agencies were rubber-stamping their approval based on fraudulent safety testing.

The Poison Papers reveal that, instead of acting to protect the public and reassess the chemicals, EPA held a secret meeting with chemical companies to assure them that their products would continue being sold.

The secret meeting between EPA and chemical companies is the most poignant example of a long history of collusion at the expense of human and environmental health.

4. US media giant Sally Quinn admitted she practiced the occult to murder people—and she was praised for it
Although her husband Ben Bradlee died in 2014—who was good friends with former President John F. Kennedy, and executive editor of the Washington Post from 1968 to 1991—Quinn has since taken the time to give insight into the glamorous life lived by the media’s royal couple. Some of the practices she describes are ones that would normally be written off as crazy conspiracy theories by outlets such as their beloved Washington Post.

However, WaPost actually praised it.

In her latest publication titled, “Finding Magic: A Spiritual Memoir,” Quinn reveals that she believes she has killed at least three people in her lifetime. She claims that while she did not harm anyone physically, she believes strongly in the occult, and has used hexes on people who got on her bad side.

Seriously.

5. Mainstream media finally admitted the United States has been aiding terrorists in Syria
In November, the BBC released a bombshell report confirming that the US and Syrian Defense Forces knowingly aided thousands of ISIS fighters.

According to the bombshell BBC report:

The BBC has uncovered details of a secret deal that let hundreds of Islamic State fighters and their families escape from Raqqa, under the gaze of the US and British-led coalition and Kurdish-led forces who control the city. A convoy included some of IS’s most notorious members and – despite reassurances – dozens of foreign fighters. Some of those have spread out across Syria, even making it as far as Turkey.

Then in December, an investigation concluded that 97 percent of the weapons used by the Islamic State were supplied illegally by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.

The weapons and ammunition were originally purchased by the United States and Saudi Arabia and then distributed to rebel groups. While the U.S. claimed to be fighting ISIS, the fact is that ISIS was one of the Syrian rebel groups opposing Assad, and as the report noted, nearly all of their weapons came from those purchased by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.

6. The Federal Reserve bank was exposed in June to be a working arm of US Intelligence
Confidential accounts within the Federal Reserve have been used by the U.S. Treasury and other departments “several times a year to analyze the asset holdings of the central banks of Russia, China, Iraq, Turkey, Yemen, Libya and others,” according to a report from Reuters that cites more than a dozen current and former senior U.S. officials.

“The U.S. central bank keeps a tight lid on information contained in these accounts. But according to the officials interviewed by Reuters, U.S. authorities regularly use a ‘need to know’ confidentiality exception in the Fed’s service contracts with foreign central banks.”

7. Declassified document proved the conspiracy that the CIA planned and carried out the 1953 Iranian Coup
The newly declassified documents, titled “Foreign Relations of the United States, 1952-1954, Iran, 1951–1954,” provide a notable difference from the State Department’s 1989 version of the coup, which left out any involvement from American and British intelligence.

A memorandum from Director of Central Intelligence Allen Dulles to President Eisenhower, dated March 1, 1953, serves as a reminder that internally, “the elimination of Mossadeq by assassination or otherwise,” was used as a method in repairing ties with Iran, restoring oil negotiations, and stopping a “Communist takeover.”

8. Billionaire elitists openly admit to Ingesting the blood of young children
Once the talk of conspiracy theorists — the rich ingesting the blood of the young to foster longevity — is now a reality and an actual business in the United States. Not only is it a business but billionaires are actually admitting their interest in it.

As Vanity Fair reports, Ambrosia, which buys its blood from blood banks, now has about 100 paying customers. Some are Silicon Valley technologists—like Peter Thiel, the billionaire co-founder of PayPal and adviser to Donald Trump.

9. CIA drug trafficking conspiracy was blown wide open in an explosive History Channel series
A&E Networks addressed the government’s role in the drug war in a four-part documentary series on the History Channel, titled, “America’s War on Drugs.”

“America’s War on Drugs” is an immersive trip through the last five decades, uncovering how the CIA, obsessed with keeping America safe in the fight against communism, allied itself with the mafia and foreign drug traffickers. In exchange for support against foreign enemies, the groups were allowed to grow their drug trade in the United States.

10. Mainstream science showed Vitamin C’s ability to fight cancer
According to researchers from the University of Iowa, ascorbate, derived from Vitamin C, was successfully observed increasing hydrogen peroxide levels in cancer cells, which in turn had a toxic result with cancer cells, killing the cancer cells in lab rats yet not damaging normal cells in the process. The researchers concluded that Vitamin C might, indeed, be lethal to some cancers.

According to the scientists, “These results indicate that an in vivo measurement of catalase activity in tumors may predict which cancers will respond to pharmacological ascorbate therapy.” Once the exact cancers are identified, which are killed by vitamin C, the researchers concluded, “this information can also be used in finding combination therapies that may increase the efficacy of treatment for those tumors with higher catalase activities.” In other words, extremely high doses of the Vitamin C derivative may potentially be added to conventional cancer therapies to help kill more cancer cells.

In 2017, the world has learned that truth is indeed stranger than fiction as the light continues to shine into the darkness. With all the proven conspiracies in 2017, we can’t help but remain optimistic for 2018 to become the year the world begins to wake up.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
-Arthur Schopenhauer

"Chrislam" - Europe Folds To The Islamization Of Christmas

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-12-24/chrislam-europe-folds-islamization-christmas

The re-theologizing of Christmas is based on the false premise that the Jesus of the Bible is the Jesus (Isa) of the Koran. This religious fusion, sometimes referred to as "Chrislam," is gaining ground in a West that has become biblically illiterate.

A school in Lüneburg postponed a Christmas party after a Muslim student complained that the singing of Christmas carols during school was incompatible with Islam. Alexander Gauland, the leader of the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD), said the school's action was "an unbearable, involuntary submission to Islam" and amounted to a "cowardly injustice" toward non-Muslim children.
"The word 'Christmas,' a symbol of our faith and our culture, does not discriminate against anyone. Striking the emblems of Christmas does not guarantee anyone's respect, does not produce a welcoming and inclusive school and society, but fosters intolerance towards our culture, our customs, our laws and our traditions. We firmly believe that our traditions must be respected." — Milan politician Samuele Piscina.
This year's Christmas season has been marked by Islam-related controversies in nearly every European country. Most of the conflicts have been generated by Europe's multicultural political and religious elites, who are bending over backwards to secularize Christmas, ostensibly to ensure that Muslims will not be offended by the Christian festival.

Many traditional Christmas markets have been renamed — Amsterdam Winter Parade, Brussels Winter Pleasures, Kreuzberger Wintermarkt, London Winterville, Munich Winter Festival — to project a multicultural veneer of secular tolerance.

More troubling are the growing efforts to Islamize Christmas. The re-theologizing of Christmas is based on the false premise that the Jesus of the Bible is the Jesus (Isa) of the Koran. This religious fusion, sometimes referred to as "Chrislam," is gaining ground in a West that has become biblically illiterate.

In Britain, for instance, the All Saints Church in Kingston upon Thames recently held a joint birthday celebration for Jesus and Mohammed. The "Milad, Advent and Christmas Celebration" on December 3 was aimed at "marking the birthday of Prophet Mohammed and looking forward to the birthday of Jesus." The hour-long service included time for Islamic prayer and was followed by the cutting of a birthday cake.

The prominent Christian blog "Archbishop Cranmer" rebuked the church for its lack of discernment:

"Note how this event is 'Marking the birthday of Prophet Mohammed,' but not looking forward to the birthday of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Mohammed gets his prophethood, while Jesus gets neither his prophethood nor his priesthood; neither his kingship nor his messiahship. It's the exalted Prophet Mohammed along with plain old Jesus, because to have added any of his claims to divinity would, of course, have alienated many Muslims (if they hadn't already been alienated by the haram [forbidden by Islam] celebration), which wouldn't have been very interfaith or sensitively missional, would it?"

The blog added that exalting Mohammed in churches effectively proclaims that Mohammed is greater than Jesus:

"Every time a church accords Mohammed the epithet 'Prophet,' they are rejecting the crucifixion, denying the resurrection of Christ, and refuting that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, for Mohammed denied all of these foundational tenets of the Christian faith."

Previously, a passage from the Koran denying that Jesus is the Son of God was read during a service at a Scottish Episcopal Church in Glasgow on Epiphany, a festival commemorating the incarnation of God in the person of Jesus Christ. One of the Queen's chaplains, Gavin Ashenden, referred to the Koran reading as "blasphemy." He added that "there are other and considerably better ways to build 'bridges of understanding'" with Muslims.

In London, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims, a parliamentary group composed of members of both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, issued a report, "A Very Merry Muslim Christmas," aimed at drawing attention to the "humanity" of Muslims during Christmas. The report states:

"Too often, Muslim charities come to our attention because of negative media coverage... What we hear even less about is the 'Muslim Merry Christmas.' The soup kitchens, the food banks, the Christmas dinners, the New Year clean-up — work Muslim charities will be busy doing during the Christmas period."

In Scotland, the regional government was accused of "undermining" Britain's Christian heritage by promoting "winter festivals" for ethnic minorities while ignoring Christmas. Scotland's International Development Minister, Alasdair Allan, pledged nearly £400,000 ($535,000) to fund 23 events during the winter months. He described them as "key dates in our national calendar" and said the "exciting and diverse" program would help Scots "celebrate everything great about our wonderful country during the winter months." None of the events, however, has any connection to Christmas. A spokesman for the Catholic Church in Scotland said:

"It is deeply disappointing that the Scottish Government has chosen not to recognize the religious reality of Christmas in its Winter Festival events. Over half of the population stated their religion as Christian in the last census. Catholics, and other Christians, may quite rightly wonder why this publicly-funded Festival does not include any events designed to help Scots celebrate the birth of Christ which is undoubtedly the most significant celebration in the winter months."

Gordon Macdonald, of Christian charity CARE, added:

"It is part of the general secularization that has been taking place within the Scottish Government for a number of years where our Christian heritage and value system has been undermined as a direct result of government policy."

In Denmark, a primary school in Graested cancelled a traditional church service marking the beginning of Christmas in order not to offend Muslim pupils. Some parents accused the school of having double-standards: it recently held an event called "Syria Week" in which children immersed themselves in Middle Eastern culture. Ignoring parents, the school board sided with the school:

"The board backs the school's decision to create new traditions [emphasis added] that involve children and young people."

Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, who attended the school as a child, said the decision should be reversed. Health Minister Ellen Trane Norby added:

"Danish primary schools have a duty to spread education — and teaching the cultural values and knowledge connected to Christmas is an essential part of that."

In France, the annual Christmas market in the Croix-Rousse district of Lyon was cancelled because of exorbitant security costs associated with protecting the event from Islamic terror. The city's annual festival of lights did go ahead this year. The military governor of Lyon, General Pierre Chavancy, said that, because of the "sensitivity" of the event, 1,500 soldiers and police, backed up by dogs, river brigades and mine-clearers, would be deployed to provide security.

In neighboring Belgium, the head of the Red Cross in Liège, André Rouffart, ordered all 28 offices in the city to remove crucifixes to affirm the organization's secular identity. Critics said the decision was part of a broader effort to "modify certain terminologies" and to "break with our traditions and our roots" in order to appease Muslims. "We once said Christmas holidays, now we say winter holidays," said a local Red Cross volunteer. "The Christmas market in Brussels has been renamed 'Winter Pleasures.' Let things remain as they are."

In Germany, a school in Lüneburg postponed a Christmas party after a Muslim student complained that the singing of Christmas carols during school was incompatible with Islam. The school's decision to reschedule the event as a non-compulsory after-school activity generated "a flood of hate mail and even threats against school management and school board," according to Focus. In an effort to appease angry parents, Headmaster Friedrich Suhr said that "non-Christian" Christmas songs such as "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" would not be banned. Alexander Gauland, the leader of the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD), said the school's action was "an unbearable, involuntary submission to Islam" and amounted to a "cowardly injustice" toward non-Muslim children.

In Munich, ads for a multicultural "winter market" depicted a snowman covered in a burqa. The chairman of the AfD in Bavaria, Petr Bystron, noted the irony: "A burqa snowman as a tolerance symbol?" In Halle, the Christmas market was renamed "Wintermarket."

In Berlin, the traditional Christmas market was protected by walls of concrete barriers to prevent a repeat of last year's jihadist attack in which 12 people were killed and more than 50 injured. In Stuttgart, a 53-year-old man was arrested at the Christmas market after he claimed to carrying a bomb in his backpack. In Potsdam, the Christmas market was closed after a nearby pharmacy received a letter bomb. In Bonn, the Christmas market was evacuated due to a bomb threat.

In Italy, a school in Milan removed references to Christmas at a party and renamed the holiday as "The Great Festival of Happy Holidays." Writing on Facebook, local politician Samuele Piscina accused the school of implementing "a politically correct leftist policy" that deprives Italian children the joy of Christmas:

"After the nativity scenes and the crucifixes, now even Christmas parties are hindered in schools. The word 'Christmas,' a symbol of our faith and our culture, does not discriminate against anyone. Striking the emblems of Christmas does not guarantee anyone's respect, does not produce a welcoming and inclusive school and society, but fosters intolerance towards our culture, our customs, our laws and our traditions. We firmly believe that our traditions must be respected."

In Bolzano, a cardboard Christmas tree was ordered to be removed from the town hall because "it could have offended the sensibilities" of Muslims. A local politician, Alessandro Urzì, expressed outrage at the decision: "The bureaucratic rigor with which the tree was removed to avoid the risk of annoying someone reflects the barbarization of the cultural climate."

In Norway, a primary school in Skien announced that its Christmas festivities this year would include not only the usual reading by pupils of verses from the Bible but also two verses from the Koran which refer to Jesus. The inimitable Bruce Bawer explained the implications:

"Stigeråsen School's Christmas plans provide yet another example of dhimmitude: craven European submission to Islam. This year, there might be a couple of Koran verses in a Christmas show; next year, a yuletide event at which both religions are celebrated on an even footing; and not too many years after that, perhaps, a children's celebration at which there is no cross and no Christmas tree, only prayer rugs, benedictions in Arabic, and hijabs for the girls."

In Spain, the Madrid City Council replaced Christmas festivities in the capital with a neo-Pagan "International Fair of the Cultures." According to Madrid Mayor Manuela Carmena, a former member of Spain's Communist Party, the express purpose of the month-long event is to de-Christianize Christmas to make it more inclusive:

"We all know that Christmas is a festival of religious origin, but it is also a celebration of humanity, solidarity. Therefore, the Madrid City Council wants to do everything possible so that everyone who is in this city, from wherever they may be, can enjoy Christmas."

Breaking with tradition, the Madrid city hall also refused to place a nativity scene at the Puerta de Alcalá, one of the city's most iconic monuments. Local politician José Luis Martínez-Almeida accused Carmena of "enthusiastically collaborating in the celebration of Ramadan" but "trying to hide all the Christian symbols of Christmas." He added: "We want to reclaim our cultural and religious roots."

Nikki Haley announces $285 million cut to United Nations budget
by Kelly Cohen | Dec 25, 2017, 12:15 PM
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/nikki-haley-announces-285-million-cut-to-united-nations-budget/article/2644350

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley announced Sunday that the United States had slashed the U.N.’s budget by more than $285 million for fiscal 2018.

The international body’s budget for fiscal 2016 was $5.4 billion.

Haley called the cuts a “historic reduction” that will help with the organization’s “bloated management.”

“The inefficiency and overspending of the United Nations are well known,” Haley said in a statement from the U.S. mission. “We will no longer let the generosity of the American people be taken advantage of or remain unchecked.”

Haley said she was “pleased” with the result’s of the budget negotiations, adding, “[Y]ou can be sure we’ll continue to look at ways to increase the UN’s efficiency? while protecting our interests,”

The former South Carolina governor has become a force at the United Nations, telling the 193-member General Assembly the United States would be “taking names” of who voted to denounce President Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

“The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out in this assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation,” Haley said ahead of last week’s vote. “We will remember it when, once again, we are called up to make the world’s largest contribution to the UN, and we will remember it when many countries come calling on us to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit.”

A total of 128 countries voted in favor of the resolution denouncing the Trump administration’s announcement. Another nine voted no, 35 abstained and 21 did not show up for the vote.

[mr40]

Obama had his hands in everything involved in stopping Trump from becoming president and as more corruption is revealed weekly, we know why he had to keep him out.

There is now a probability that Obama read the Steele Dossier in the White House in August!

Read this: http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/251897/obama-steele-dossier-russiagate

In contrast to the FBI, according to Jacoby, the CIA “hopped to and immediately worked to verify it. By August 2016 the CIA had verified the key finding of the dossier to the point that, as The Washington Post revealed, it was “having ‘eyes only’ top secret meetings with Obama about it.”

What? Former CIA Director John Brennan testified in front of the House Intelligence Committee this May that the dossier “wasn’t part of the corpus of intel information we had … it was not used in any way as a basis.” But Jacoby says he brought it to President Obama?

It seems that Glenn Simpson’s wife may be correct again.

In April The New York Times reported that last summer Brennan was so concerned about Russian efforts to help Trump that he briefed top lawmakers, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. “In the August briefing for Mr. Reid,” the Times related, “Mr. Brennan indicated that the CIA, focused on foreign intelligence, was limited in its legal ability to investigate possible connections to Mr. Trump.”

The recent discovery that Mary Jacoby, wife of Fusion GPS founder, had a 14 hr. meeting at the White House on April 10, 2016 and that Fusion GPS soon hired Christopher Steel to create the Steele Dossier suggests that OBAMA was involved in the creation of the dossier!

[crazy horse 0]

Was The Steele Dossier The FBI's "Insurance Policy"?

"In conclusion, while there is a dearth of evidence to date that the Trump campaign colluded in Russia’s cyberespionage attack on the 2016 election, there is abundant evidence that the Obama administration colluded with the Clinton campaign to use the Steele dossier as a vehicle for court-authorized monitoring of the Trump campaign — and to fuel a pre-election media narrative that U.S. intelligence agencies believed Trump was scheming with Russia to lift sanctions if he were elected president. Congress should continue pressing for answers, and President Trump should order the Justice Department and FBI to cooperate rather than — what’s the word? — resist."

Trump Tells Reporters: You Need Prayer More Than I Do

https://www.newsmax.com/politics/donald-trump-media-journalists-prayer/2017/12/20/id/832920/

President Donald Trump told members of the media they were permitted to stay for his prayer session with Cabinet members because "you need it more than I do."

And he added: "You may be the only ones."

He then turned to Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson and said: "Maybe a good solid prayer and they'll be honest, Ben. Is that possible?"

Carson went on to deliver the prayer: "We thank you for the president and for Cabinet members who are courageous, who are willing to face the winds of controversy in order to provide a better future for those who come behind us."

"We're thankful for the unity in Congress that has presented an opportunity for our economy to expand so we can fight the corrosive debt that has been destroying our future. And we hope that unity will expand even beyond party lines,"

I was with TRUMP from day one and I will support him all the way. Things may not be 100% like we want them but what this President has accomplished thus far is astonishing. Even with the Media and Dem's against him !

Yes crazy, Thank God Trump was elected is so right on so many levels.

Trump is earning that respect.

US secures $285M cut in UN budget

The U.S. Mission to the United Nations announced Sunday that it negotiated a major reduction in the U.N.'s budget for the upcoming fiscal years.

According to a statement from the mission, the 2018-2019 U.N. budget will have a $285 million reduction from the previous two years.

"In addition to these significant cost savings, we reduced the UN's bloated management and support functions, bolstered support for key U.S. priorities throughout the world, and instilled more discipline and accountability throughout the UN system," the statement reads.

One of the Trump administration's goals has been to reduce the amount of contributions that the U.S. makes to the U.N.

The U.S. currently provides for about 22 percent of the annual budget, or about $3.3 billion per year, according to PolitiFact.

The U.N. General Assembly previously approved a $5.4 billion operating budget for 2016 and 2017. The regular budget is separate from the body's budget for its sprawling peacekeeping operations, which totaled $7.8 billion for 2017 alone.

U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said that the budget cut announced Sunday is a "big step in the right direction" for the U.S., and that she will continue to pursue "ways to increase the UN's efficiency while protecting our interests."

"The inefficiency and overspending of the United Nations are well known," Haley said. "We will no longer let the generosity of the American people be taken advantage of or remain unchecked. This historic reduction in spending - in addition to many other moves toward a more efficient and accountable UN - is a big step in the right direction."
Conservatives have long criticized the U.N. as not being in the U.S.'s interests, and many have amplified their concerns after the global body overwhelmingly voted for a resolution last week to oppose President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Trump suggested earlier this month that the U.S. may cut off foreign aid to nations who voted for the U.N. resolution, and Haley said that the U.S. would be "taking names."

Guatemala moving their embassy to Jerusalem, backing President Trump


http://fitnaphobia.com/2017/12/guatemala-moving-embassy-jerusalem-backing-president-trump/

When one man has the courage to stand up and do the right thing, others follow.

“Guatemala to move embassy to Jerusalem, backing Trump,” Reuters, December 25, 2017:

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) – Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales said on Sunday he had given instructions to move the Central American country’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, a few days after his government backed the United States in a row over the city’s status.

In a short post on his official Facebook account, Morales said he decided to move the embassy from Tel Aviv after talking to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday.

This month U.S. President Donald Trump recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, reversing decades of U.S. policy and upsetting the Arab world and Western allies.

On Thursday, 128 countries defied Trump by backing a non-binding U.N. General Assembly resolution calling for the United States to drop its recognition of Jerusalem.

Guatemala was one of only a handful of countries to join the United States and Israel in voting against the resolution….

Czech President: Europe Is ‘Jeopardised by a Culture of Hatred Incompatible with Ours’, Israel a ‘Heroic Model for Us’


https://pamelageller.com/2017/12/czech-hatred-model.html/

The Czech Republic today is a beacon of light in central Europe. The Czechs have already followed President Trump’s righteous example in recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. And President Zeman has previously said that Muslim migrants in Europe are a Trojan Horse phenomenon. Milos Zeman is one politician who is unafraid to see the truth and speak the truth. If there were other politicians like him in every country of Europe (and to be sure, there is a growing number), then Europe would not be in the severe and growing crisis it is in today.

“Czech Prez: Europe Is ‘Jeopardised by a Culture of Hatred Incompatible with Ours’, Israel a ‘Heroic Model for Us,’” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, December 19, 2017:

The President of the Czech Republic has warned that Europe’s values are being “jeopardised by a culture of hatred that is incompatible with ours”, and said that “Israel and its heroism are a model and encouragement for us”.

Miloš Zeman is a former leader of Czech Social Democratic Party and considered something of a left-wing populist, but has maintained a robust stance against mass immigration and multiculturalism throughout his time in office.

“The European Union has already experienced many crises,” explained the 73-year-old, in an interview with Israel Hayom transcribed by the ParlamentníListy.cz news portal.

“We are now dealing with a large-scale immigration crisis related to terrorism, which puts the EU in a situation where the EU has to take very specific and very effective steps.

“It is a serious situation in which the fundamental Judeo-Christian values of European culture are jeopardized by a culture of hatred that is incompatible with ours. As I have already noted, Israel and its heroism are a model and encouragement for us,” he said.

President Zeman, a strong supporter of Israel and one of the few European heads of state to back U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to officially recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel — and blast “the cowardly European Union” for its decision to support “a pro-Palestinian terrorist movement” instead — said he would be urging incoming prime minister Andrej Babiš to follow the U.S. premier’s lead by moving the Czech embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Zeman has also been a strong supporter of the Czech parliament’s moves to introduce a kind of Second Amendment for its citizens — in the teeth of fierce opposition from the EU establishment — noting that “the level of international crime is growing because of Islamic terrorism” in a speech to the intergovernmental Council of Europe.

“What can we do against international criminality? Invest in the police, invest in the army, and have the courage to invest in our own guns.

“My wife has a pistol. Of course, she passed all necessary tests, but now I am guarded by my wife, and not only by bodyguards,” he told his scandalised European audience, who tend to take a dim view of the right of ordinary citizens to keep arms for self-defence — with the notable exception of Switzerland.

President Zeman has been a fierce critic of the European Union’s institutional stance on mass migration, describing the migrant crisis as “an organised invasion and not a spontaneous movement of refugees”….

St. Louis - 200 killed this year.

As a candidate, President Trump pledged to “Make America Safe Again.”

Coming out of 8 years of failed leadership by the first black president, Barack Obama, crime among his “brothers & sisters” had skyrocketed. You would think the opposite would be true, but some people just can’t help themselves it seems.

While Trump is doing his best to make our neighborhoods safer, it’s a difficult task when cities are run by Democrats who thumb their noses at his efforts and do nothing to quell the rising tide of violence in their municipalities. St. Louis is one such city.

Democrats have dominated St. Louis politics for decades, and the city hasn’t had a Republican mayor since 1949.

Whenever Democrats control something for that long, it’s bound to become a sh-thole. And St. Louis sure had, especially with regards to crime.

St. Louis has the highest murder rate in the country per capita, and most of the victims are… black men.

And to think, most blacks vote Democrat hoping for a better future, or maybe it’s just for the handouts, who knows.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that after a triple-homicide where 3 women were trying to escape from a home-invasion robbery but didn’t make it & were slain, that the city’s homicide count is now at a whopping 203.

Via the Dispatch:

That triple murder pushed the annual homicide count to 203, the most the city has seen in a single year since 1995, when there were 204 victims. (The city’s population in 1995 was about 50,000 more than what it is today.)

“Society is changing,” St. Louis Police Lt. John Green, who runs the homicide division, said at a press conference. “The value of life is not there anymore. They don’t care.”

Green and Acting Police Chief Lawrence O’Toole repeated pleas to the public for assistance solving the cases.

“Any small thing can help,” Green said.

The total excludes homicides ruled justified, such as cases of self-defense, and fatal police shootings. The unfortunate milestone for homicides comes as St. Louis is trying to hire a new police chief from among three internal and three external candidates.

Statistics compiled by the St. Louis Police Department provide a look at who the victims are and what homicide detectives are up against.

The deaths of the three women Friday morning bring to 27 the number of female homicide victims in St. Louis this year. But mostly, the victims are black men, the motives unknown, and the murders unsolved.

For the cases in which the motive is known, about 30 involve an argument; about a dozen involve a robbery, and fewer than 10 victims each were thought to be victims of drug-related or retaliatory killings.

Last week, the city of St. Louis said about 35 percent of its homicides this year had been solved. By comparison, the clearance rate nationally for murder is about 60 percent.

Police say at least eight of the year’s murder victims were unintended targets. Jackson identified four such victims in cases where warrants have been issued against the suspected killer or killers.

The spike in murders comes on the heels of the Black Lives Matter riots in various cities across the nation the last several years.

The terror group targeted white cops who were just doing their jobs keeping us safe and who had to put down blacks involved in criminal activity.

To BLM, all black criminals are martyrs and the white cops who are forced to shoot them when they attack them are devils.





What was the effect of the riots & attacks on police? Police decided not to go into high-crime areas since they weren’t wanted there. Apparently, blacks took that as a license to go on killing sprees.

Via Reuters:

In poor New York neighborhoods, residents ask: Where are the police?

On the sidewalk of a public housing development in Brooklyn, New York notorious for gang violence and drug activity, the words “Fascist pig, go home!” in black spray paint are fading but still legible.

These are the Marcy Houses, 27 brick H-block buildings, each six stories high, that are home to nearly 4,300 people, many of whom are black or Latino. The rapper Jay-Z, who grew up in the complex, described Marcy as “a block away from hell,” the place where “news cameras never come,” in a song called “Where I‘m From.”

In recent years, Marcy has had a group of very reliable visitors: the police, who patrol on foot and in cars as part of a controversial “broken windows” strategy that focuses on cracking down on small crimes to prevent bigger ones. Until three weeks ago, they had been an ever-present, highly visible presence in Marcy Houses.

Now, the police have all but disappeared, raising safety concerns among some residents while pleasing others who view the police strategy as oppressive. A reporter saw only one police car on a visit on Thursday.

The shooting of two police officers in their patrol car a block away from the development on Dec. 20 has widened a rift between the police unions and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, who they accuse of making anti-police statements and fuelling a hostile environment for police, allegations he denies.

Police department data shows the number of arrests and court summonses has plunged across the city since the shooting. But it is in higher crime areas like Marcy Houses, and neighborhoods such as Mott Haven in the Bronx, that the lower police profile may be of most concern.

No court summonses were issued in the 79th police precinct, which includes Marcy Houses, in the week following the murder of the two policemen, compared to 401 summonses in the same period in 2013, according to police data. There were only 10 summonses issued last week, compared to 405 a year earlier.

New York Police Commissioner William Bratton confirmed for the first time on Friday that there has been a widespread work slowdown by police officers.

So you see, when you hate cops, attack them, and call for their deaths, they tend to stop patrolling your neighborhoods.
And then all hell breaks loose and people die. Apparently, Black Lives Matter & Democrats don’t care because they aren’t doing sh-t about it. They’re actually making matters worse.

Ten terrorists who took advantage of the porous U.S.-Mexico border
December 24, 2017

Republicans have long voiced concern over the threat of terrorists entering the U.S. from Mexico, a concern the Obama administration largely downplayed.

Available data suggest the concern is justified, according to a Jan. 15 report by the Christian Science Monitor which included 10 incidents of terror suspects and enablers of terrorists who took advantage of the multiple points of access in the U.S.-Mexico border.

A member of the Somali-American community in Minnesota, Guled Ali Omar dreamed of fighting in Syria for ISIL. He knew that a number of individuals had been arrested trying to fly from the U.S. to join the terror group, so he decided to travel to Mexico for his flight overseas to help conceal his travels from U.S. law enforcement officials.

Partway through his planning, he discovered a potential benefit to ISIL of his anticipated trip across the border with Mexico. He could identify contacts and smuggling routes in Mexico that would help ISIL members from overseas to easily infiltrate the U.S. homeland.

“You know what I had in my head,” he asked his friends about the planned trip from the U.S. into Mexico. “[We could] go through Mexico to learn all the spots there, make connections there, send some brothers back over there,” Omar said during secretly recorded conversations on file in federal court.

“And I know some dudes [in ISIL], if they get determined to come through back to this country and do something here, [I swear to Allah] they will take it,” he said. “[I swear to Allah] scope it out for them, bro. Just learn the routes, everything,” he said, according to a transcript.

“Imagine that, like six brothers, those dudes… from like from Iraq coming to Mexico. They already look Mexican. They’re Arab. They are coming into this country as immigrants. Imagine [what they might do],” he said. “They’ll do crazy damage. [I swear to Allah], we have a big opportunity.”

The recorded conversation took place in March 2015. Omar never did get to Syria – or Mexico. Before he could make the trip, he was placed under arrest and charged with attempting to provide material support to a terror group. On Nov. 16, 2016, Omar was sentenced to 35 years in prison.

Abdullahi Omar Fidse

In June 2008, Abdullahi Omar Fidse crossed the Rio Grande by walking across the bridge from Mexico to the official port of entry at Hidalgo, Texas. There he declared himself a refugee from Somalia and requested asylum.

While federal agents investigated his request for asylum, Fidse was held in an immigration detention center where he revealed to a friend he made at the center that he wasn’t a refugee at all and that he supported Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaida, and Al Shabab.

Tipped off, the FBI sent a confidential informant into the detention center to befriend the would-be refugee. The two men discussed a passage in the Koran that calls on Muslims to gather up their weapons and “terrorize” the infidels. Fidse told the confidential informant that he agreed with the militant interpretation of the passage, according to federal court documents. “We are terrorists,” Fidse declared.

Fidse was denied asylum. Instead he was prosecuted and sentenced to eight years in prison for lying to federal agents.

Aslam Khan Waqas

Rakhi Gauchan, a woman from Nepal who had run smuggling rings for 11 years in Europe and Asia, told an undercover informant that she moved her operation to Mexico and smuggled about 10 individuals per months into the U.S. She charged up to $40,000 for someone living in India and $3,000 to $4,000 for someone who had already made it to Mexico, according to court documents.

In November 2012, Aslam Khan Waqas paid her $3,500. For that he was flown from Mexico City to the border and then driven to a spot near the official border crossing at Nogales, Arizona. Waqas crossed the U.S. border at Nogales on Dec. 27, 2012 and requested asylum. He was allowed to reside in the U.S. pending determination of his asylum request.

Federal agents tracked him down to determine whether he was, in fact, a terrorist or drug trafficker. In addition, they needed his testimony to prosecute Guachan.

She was arrested in December 2013 when she traveled from Mexico City to San Antonio. Guachan eventually pleaded guilty to one count of human smuggling. After spending a year in jail in pre-trial detention, she was sentenced to time served.

Irgan Ul Haq

Ecuador-based human smuggler Irgan Ul Haq told undercover operatives that it was not his “concern what [his clients] want to do in the United States – hard labor, sweep floors, wash dishes in a hotel, or blow up. That will be up to them,” he said, according to federal court documents.

Haq’s smuggling ring charged $50,000 to $60,000 per person to smuggle an Indin or Pakistani national into the U.S., including provision of forged passports and Pakistani exit visas.

Haq and two of his associates were arrested in 2011 in Miami as part of the sting operation. All three pleaded guilty to providing material support to a terror group. Haq was sentenced to 4 years in prison. His two accomplices received three-year prison terms.

Adnan El Shukrijumah

Adnan El Shukrijumah spent more than a decade at the top of the FBI’s most wanted list. According to documents obtained in December 2015 in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, he was smuggled into the U.S. in 2003 and was believed to have been hand-picked by Osama Bin Laden and 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to plan and launch follow-up attacks against the U.S. and other Western countries.

The U.S. government first learned of Shukrijumah during the interrogation and waterboarding of Mohammed in 2003.
The following year, officials at the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juarez received a tip about “suspect Arab extremists who have been smuggled through Mexico to the United States/Mexico border. The confidential source stated his family member, who is a human trafficker, knows the exact whereabouts of three Arabs who are currently being hidden in Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico.”

The city of Agua Prieta is on the U.S.-Mexico border adjacent to Douglas, Arizona. Although there is a fence separating Agua Prieta from Douglas, it is possible, even today, to walk around the end of the fence and into the U.S.

Shukrijumah, who managed to elude capture for more than a decade, was named in an 11-count indictment in 2012 for his alleged role planning and authorizing what was to be a three-man, coordinated suicide bombing attack in 2009 on the New York City subway system at rush hour. Officials arrested the would-be bombers before they could launch the attack.
Shukrijumah was shot and killed during a 2014 raid by the Pakistani military in a tribal area near the Pakistan-Afghan border.

Ahmed Dhakane

For $3,000, Ahmed Dhakane promised his clients he could smuggle them into the U.S. across the Mexican border. At least five of his clients were supporters or members of Al Shabab or associated Somali terror groups – and at least three of them made it into the U.S., according to federal court documents.

“Dhakane stated he did not know their exact reason for wanting to enter the United States, but cautioned that he believed they would fight against the U.S. if the jihad moved from overseas locations to the U.S. mainland,” according to a sentencing memorandum filed by prosecutors in Dhakane’s case. “All of these individuals are ready to die for the cause,” he told federal agents.

Dhakane was arrested after he tried to smuggle himself into the U.S. by claiming refugee status. He forced a Somali juvenile to pose as his wife. The girl, one of Dhakane’s smuggling clients, “told agents that [Dhakane] kept her locked away and repeatedly raped and impregnated her prior to coming to the United States,” according to court documents.

The documents continue: “[Dhakane] stated that it would better his asylum chances if he had a pregnant wife.”

In April 2011, Dhakane was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of making false statements on his application for U.S. asylum.

Miguel Santana Vidriales

In 2012, federal agents in California arrested three men who were planning to travel to Mexico on their way to joining Islamic militants in Afghanistan.

The FBI initiated an undercover investigation and discovered that Miguel Santana Vidriales, a Mexican national with a pending application for U.S. citizenship, wanted to join Al Qaida and engage in jihad.

Asked about his recent trip to Mexico, Santana told an undercover FBI employee that he went to Mexico to “train.” He said he “learned how to use, fix, and shoot a lot of different kinds of guns, and I was practicing with explosives, learning how to use and make them,” according to federal court documents. In March 2015, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Jason Michael Ludke

Jason Michael Ludke was looking to travel from Milwaukee to Raqqa, Syria to join Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) but a bracelet with a GPS tracker affixed to his ankle, and the lack of a passport to travel overseas held him back. In September 2016, he turned to social media to reach out for a contact inside ISIL who might help him get to Mexico and then on to Syria.

The contact was an undercover employee of the FBI who was posing as an ISIL supporter. In an internet exchange on Oct. 4, 2016, the undercover FBI employee told Ludke that “people would be ready to receive him in Mexico and may have passports for Arabic countries available.”

The ploy didn’t work. Ludke and another man were already on the move somewhere south of Milwaukee. He had cut the tracking device off his ankle. The two were driving to the border while spending nights sleeping in their car in mosque parking lots along the way, according to court documents.

The FBI located Ludke and the other man in San Angelo, Texas, on Oct. 5. Ludke was charged with attempting to provide material support to ISIL. He was 400 miles (six hours by car) from where he planned to cross the border into Mexico.

Anthony Joseph Tracy

A U.S. citizen and Muslim convert, Anthony Joseph Tracy set up a travel business that specialized in helping would-be travelers from Somalia obtain visas to Cuba, seen as a doorway to the U.S.-Mexico border.
Tracy told federal agents that he had helped 272 Somalis travel illegally to the U.S., according to court documents.

Tracy pleaded guilty to a single charge of conspiring to induce non-citizens to enter the U.S. without legal authorization.

Tracy told federal agents that he had helped 272 Somalis travel illegally to the U.S., according to court documents.

Mahmoud Kourani

In 2001, Mahmoud Kourani was smuggled across the Mexican border into the U..S in the trunk of a car.

Federal court documents reveal that Kourani was a member, fighter, and fundraiser for Iran-backed terror organization Hizbullah. He settled in Dearborn, Mich., as an unauthorized migrant, raising money for Hizbullah until he was ordered deported in 2003.

Brennan is full of it - already a proven liar. He was in charge of the CIA while all the heroin was being smuggled out of Afghanistan!

CIA Director John Brennan today petulantly denied that he lied in March when he publicly insisted that the CIA had not improperly accessed the computers of Senate staffers investigating the agency’s role in torturing detainees.

Since then, an internal investigation found the CIA had done just that, and Brennan was forced to apologize to Senate intelligence committee members.

With the passage of the GOP tax bill this week, the Trump administration has scored 81 major achievements in its first year, making good on campaign promises to provide significant tax cuts, boost U.S. energy production, and restore respect to the United States, according to the White House.

And along the way, President Trump even outdid his own expectations and slashed at least 11 major legacy items of former President Barack Obama, including cracking down on the open border, slowing recognition of communist Cuba and effectively killing Obamacare by ending the mandate that everyone have health insurance or face a tax.

According to the White House, the 81 accomplishments are in 12 major categories and include well over 100 other minor achievements.

The unofficial list helps to counter the impression in the mainstream media and among congressional Democrats that outside the approval of Supreme Court Neil Gorsuch and passage of the tax reform bill little was done.

Administrations typically tout their achievements broadly at the end of each year, but Trump plans to list jobs added, regulations killed, foreign policy victories won, and moves to help veterans and even drug addicts.

This particular savage was “deliberately targeting police officers.” This is something we have seen before — for example, last February, a Muslim who shot and killed an armed Denver transit security officer had Islamic writings in his possession when he was arrested. It is not surprising that those who are trying to subvert the law would target those who are enforcing the law.

Cue the stories about “islamophobia,” “anti-Muslim backlash,” etc.

“Gunman killed after targeting Pennsylvania cops in shooting rampage,” by Katie Honan, New York Daily News, December 23, 2017:

A gunman hell-bent on shooting cops was killed in a firefight with police in Harrisburg, Pa., Friday, authorities said.

During his rampage, Ahmed Aminamin El-Mofty, 51, did manage to hit one cop with a bullet, Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico said. That officer is in stable condition.

El-Mofty began his spree at 4:10 p.m. when he opened fire on a Capitol Police car near the State Capitol building in Harrisburg, according to Marsico.

The gunman jumped in a car and chased a Pennsylvania State trooper into a nearby residential neighborhood with guns blazing, hitting the officer once, Marsico said.

El-Mofty, who had at least two 9-mm handguns on him, then fired multiple shots at officers from the Harrisburg and Pennsylvania State police departments. He was killed during the shootout.

“There’s no doubt he was directly targeting police officers,” Marsico said. The DA added that El-Mofty recently traveled to the Middle East….

Hundreds of Muslims storm church, destroy its contents, assault Christians inside it

http://fitnaphobia.com/2017/12/hundreds-muslims-storm-church-destroy-contents-assault-christians-inside/

Islamic law forbids Christians to build new churches or repair old ones. The international establishment media will take little notice of this. But imagine the international outcry if non-Muslims anywhere stormed a mosque. From the ubiquitous “Islamophobia” propaganda, one might get the impression that such things happen all the time. In reality, they never do.

“Coptic diocese says hundreds assault church in Egypt,” Associated Press, December 23, 2017:

CAIRO (AP) — Hundreds of Muslim demonstrators assaulted an unlicensed church south of Cairo, an Egyptian Coptic Christian diocese said on Saturday, in the latest assault on members of the country’s Coptic minority.

The incident took place after Friday prayers when demonstrators gathered outside the building and stormed it. The demonstrators chanted hostile slogans and called for the church’s demolition, the diocese in Atfih said. The demonstrators destroyed the church’s contents and assaulted Christians inside before security personnel arrived and dispersed them.

The wounded were transferred to a nearby hospital but didn’t elaborate.

The church in Giza just outside of Cairo is yet to be sanctioned by the state but has been observing prayers for 15 years. The diocese said it had officially sought to legalize the building’s status under a 2016 law that laid down the rules for building churches.

Local authorities often refuse to give building permits for new churches, fearing protests by Muslim conservatives. That has prompted Christians to illegally build churches or set up churches in other buildings. In contrast, building a mosque results in few restrictions….

Check this out -
A Tablet investigation using public sources to trace the evolution of the now-famous dossier suggests that central elements of the Russiagate scandal emerged not from the British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s top-secret “sources” in the Russian government—which are unlikely to exist separate from Russian government control—but from a series of stories that Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson and his wife Mary Jacoby co-wrote for TheWall Street Journal well before Fusion GPS existed, and Donald Trump was simply another loud-mouthed Manhattan real estate millionaire. Understanding the origins of the “Steele dossier” is especially important because of what it tells us about the nature and the workings of what its supporters would hopefully describe as an ongoing campaign to remove the elected president of the United States. […]

In a Facebook post from June 24, 2017, that Tablet has seen in screenshots, Jacoby claimed that her husband deserves the lion’s share of credit for Russiagate. (She has not replied to repeated requests for comment.) “It’s come to my attention that some people still don’t realize what Glenn’s role was in exposing Putin’s control of Donald Trump,” Jacoby wrote. “Let’s be clear. Glenn conducted the investigation. Glenn hired Chris Steele. Chris Steele worked for Glenn.” This assertion is hardly a simple assertion of family pride; it goes directly to the nature of what became known as the “Steele dossier,” on which the Russiagate narrative is founded.

News of the Facebook post comes amid heightened scrutiny for the opposition research firm. According to Fox News reporter Jake Gibson, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has called on a senior Justice Department attorney to look into appointing a special counsel to investigate recently demoted official Bruce Ohr’s contacts with Fusion GPS.

“Sessions on calls for a special counsel to look into Sr DOJ Official Bruce Ohr, and wife Nellie’s contacts with Fusion GPS during the summer and fall of 2016: I’ve put a Senior Attorney, with the resources he may need, to review cases in our office and make a recommendation to me, if things aren’t being pursued that need to be pursued, if cases may need more resources to complete in a proper manner, and to recommend to me if the standards for a special counsel are met, and the recommended one should be established,” tweeted Fox News reporter Jake Gibson on Tuesday.

Fox News‘ James Rosen and Jake Gibson recently reported the wife of Justice Department official Bruce G. Ohr worked for the opposition research firm during the 2016 presidential election.

Contacted by Fox News, investigators for the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) confirmed that Nellie H. Ohr, wife of the demoted official, Bruce G. Ohr, worked for the opposition research firm last year. The precise nature of Mrs. Ohr’s duties – including whether she worked on the dossier – remains unclear but a review of her published works available online reveals Mrs. Ohr has written extensively on Russia-related subjects. HPSCI staff confirmed to Fox News that she was paid by Fusion GPS through the summer and fall of 2016.

In a statement to Fox News, a Justice Department spokesperson said, “It is unusual for anyone to wear two hats as he has done recently. This person is going to go back to a single focus—director of our organized crime and drug enforcement unit. As you know, combatting transnational criminal organizations and drug trafficking is a top priority for the Attorney General.”

BOMBSHELL: Obama Calls His Lawyers In Panic As Trump Uncovers ‘The Woman He Tried To Hide’

http://madworldnews.com/obama-calls-lawyers-trump-woman/

Barack Obama was sure that he had covered his trail as he took every precaution to hide his relationship with one woman. Poor Obama didn’t hide her well enough, and right before President Donald Trump left for his Christmas vacation, he secretly made sure that this woman’s shocking criminal relationship to the former president was exposed. Obama felt sheer panic, calling his team of attorneys, and his head is not the only one going to roll.

Mary Jacoby (left), President Donald Trump (middle), Barack Obama (right) (Photo Credit: Mary Jacoby/Facebook, YouTube/Screengrab, YouTube/Screengrab)The president just gave the American people the best Christmas gifts ever; a huge new tax reform law and now the evidence proving Barack Hussien Obama knew and sanctioned the illegal scheme to try to ensure the GOP candidate for president, Donald Trump, would never see inside the White House. It’s all part of the same scheme that is behind the coup attempt to impeach Trump once he won, and the key is a woman named Mary Jacoby.
Who’s Mary Jacoby? Well, sit back my fellow Americans and pop some popcorn, as you learn of the one woman who is playing a prominent role in bringing down the Obama regime and the Clinton crime cartel for good. On April 10, 2016, Mary Jacoby showed up on White House visitor logs, meeting with President Obama and his top officials, and she doesn’t leave for 14 hours.
That same month, April 2016, the Clinton Campaign and DNC hired Fusion-GPS to organize the Russia research, which later became known as the bogus “Russian dossier.” Mary Jacoby is the wife of Fusion-GPS head Glenn Simpson. But, there’s more.
Copy of White House logs from April 10, 2016, showing Mary Jacoby was meeting with Obama officials for 14 hours.
Simpson and Jacoby aren’t minor players, this dreadful duo writes for the Wall Street Journal, and they are heavyweights in Washington, D.C., as part of the mainstream media.

A Tablet investigation using public sources to trace the evolution of the now-famous dossier suggests that central elements of the Russiagate scandal emerged not from the British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s top-secret “sources” in the Russian government—which are unlikely to exist separate from Russian government control—but from a series of stories that Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson and his wife Mary Jacoby co-wrote for TheWall Street Journal well before Fusion GPS existed, and Donald Trump was simply another loud-mouthed Manhattan real estate millionaire.
Understanding the origins of the “Steele dossier” [Russian dossier] is especially important because of what it tells us about the nature and the workings of what its supporters would hopefully describe as an ongoing campaign to remove the elected President of the United States. [Source: Tablet Magazine]

So, not only is Jacoby the wife of the guy who is behind compiling the Russian dossier, a totally fabricated document, we now know that Russian dossier was submitted as the only evidence by the FBI cabal, including former Director James Comey and his Deputy Director Andy McCabe, to obtain wiretaps on the then-candidate Donald Trump and his campaign.
Jacoby even boasted about it in a Facebook post. “In a Facebook post from June 24, 2017, that Tablet has seen in screenshots, Jacoby claimed that her husband deserves the lion’s share of credit for Russiagate. (She has not replied to repeated requests for comment.) ‘It’s come to my attention that some people still don’t realize what Glenn’s role was in exposing Putin’s control of Donald Trump,’ Jacoby wrote. ‘Let’s be clear. Glenn conducted the investigation. Glenn hired Chris Steele. Chris Steele worked for Glenn,'” reported Tablet Magazine.
Jacoby’s Facebook post is exaggerating their importance in writing the Russian dossier. Her husband Glenn Simpson assigned the actual writing of the Russian dossier to his Russia expert at Fusion-GPS, a woman named Nellie Ohr.
This is where the DOJ’s former associate deputy attorney general Bruce Ohr comes in — he is married to Nellie Ohr. He also has admitted to meeting with Glenn Simpson to obtain the fake Russian dossier for the DOJ before anyone knew who his wife was.
Fox News reports, “Ohr was set to appear before the Senate Intel panel Monday, but the appearance was delayed after the committee secured new related documents, which members wanted to review before hearing from him.”
Oh, I bet we know what those new documents are, thanks to Trump’s sting operation, which he put in place with Inspector General Michael Horowitz taking the lead. That sting operation is gathering all this evidence, and Bruce and Nellie Ohr, along with their partners Glenn Simpson and Mary Jacoby, have left quite an incriminating trail- leading right back to Barck Obama.
Jacoby’s meeting with Obama is pure dynamite. I’m sure we would love to see the records from those meetings. Why would a Wall Street Journal journalist be in a top secret meeting in the Oval Office for 14 hours? We all know that answer, and it’s why Obama was definitely burning up his cell phone, calling his attorneys today.
There’s one more thing. All of these snakes communicated without being detected by the good guys left in the intelligence community, but how? Records prove Nellie Ohr got a license for a HAM radio in May 2016. These rats knew the NSA does not monitor traffic by HAM radios. They really thought they had covered their tracks.

Obama never fathomed this illegal scheme wouldn’t work. He counted on ensuring Hillary Clinton would win the election. After she lost, he tried to hide all trails that would lead back to him as the FBI and DOJ cabal started phase two, the “Trump-Russia” Robert Mueller investigation, which they thought would eventually make Trump resign or be impeached. Except, he forgot about the White House visitors logs, which are now in the custody of President Donald Trump. Merry Christmas America, and stay tuned. Trump is just getting started bringing his enemies to justice.

Muslim plot to bomb San Francisco tourist attraction on Christmas foiled
December 23, 2017

Christmas is a time for reflection. It is also a popular day for Muslim terrorists to kill Christians and Jews and other Muslims, too. In other words, Christmas falls on a day that ends in a “Y” — and killing in Allah’s name never goes out of season.

But Allah forbid anyone attack a Muslim during the Ramadan, Islam’s holiest month! That makes the so-called Arab street goes crazy — as does, well, anything and everything. The Koran was said to have been revealed to Muhammad, the founder of Islam, during the month now called Ramadan.

Anyway, Everitt Aaron Jameson, 26, of Modesto, California, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly planning a Christmas Day bomb attack on tourist-heavy Pier 39 in San Francisco. He apparently formed this plot to get back at President Trump for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. To get into the yuletide killing spirit, Jameson adopted an Islamic name, to wit, Abdallah abu Everitt ibn Gordon al-Amriki.

Why Mr. Jameson, a former U.S. Marine Corps trainee booted out for lying about a medical condition, would think he was hurting Christians by bombing San Francisco, more or less Ground Zero for leftism and secularism in America, is unclear. He must have been indiscriminately seeking publicity for the jihadist cause so any American or non-American corpse would do.

Don’t fire Mueller, Mr. President, we need his comedy to see us through

"Don't fire him, Mr. President, he runs the best comedy act we've ever seen and we need the laughs when they keep piling on the unhinged hatred

The perfect answer to Virginia Senator Mark Warner, top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, who most melodramatically warns us that should President Donald Trump take any action to remove Special Counsel Robert Mueller, there will be “immediate and significant consequences”:

“Don’t worry, he won’t!”

Oh, how Desperado Dems in exile would love it if the president they love to hate were to fire Mueller!

They would then have the perfect excuse for impeaching President Trump and going back in time to where they were until the shocking night of Nov. 8, 2016 when Hillary Clinton was FINALLY put out to pasture.

Why would the provable savvy Donald Trump cut off the biggest failed show of all time: the non-existent ‘Russia Stole the Election’ one, the one show where no one sensible would ever bring the final curtain down?

It’s the best entertainment we’ve had since election and one that even Harvey Weinstein and the #Me Too act couldn’t best.

“I believe it is up to every member of this institution, Republican or Democrat, to make a clear and unambiguous statement that any attempt by this president to remove SpecialCounsel Mueller from his position or to pardon key witnesses in any effort to shield them from accountability or shut down the investigation would be a gross abuse of power and a flagrant violation of executive branch responsibilities and authorities,” Virginia Sen. Mark Warner said. (FoxNews, Dec. 20, 2017)

Warner is backed up by could-be thousands of protesters who will turn out to enforce his dramatic threats—if only the snow and cold don’t hold them back.

“Organizers have stashed bullhorns in apartments and offices near Manhattan’s Times Square. They’ve stockpiled hot chocolate mix and sleeping bags in Salt Lake City. And they’ve started arranging carpools in Houston. (LA Times, Dec. 21 2017)

What does it matter that Trump will not fire Mueller? There’s always something to protest. Besides, protesters are used to nodding off in sleeping bags.

“Across the country, activists are making plans, collecting supplies and raising money to swiftly launch hundreds of street protests if President Trump fires Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel who has been investigating the Trump administration. (LA Times)

Protesters are ready to roll even if they’re “still scrounging up lighting in case their rally happens after dark”.

No one should have to protest in the dark when it’s already scary enough out there.

“The last thing we want is to be caught unprepared,” said Elizabeth Beavers, a Washington-based policy manager for Indivisible, one of several liberal groups involved in the protest plans. (LA Times)

“We’re on red alert,” agreed Zac Petkanas, a Democratic consultant working with the organizers.”

Not to worry when there’s plenty of hot chocolate mix to go ‘round or that sleet and snow may keep them home in Mama’s weather-proof basement.

“Fugget about” Trump and his legal team insisting that there’s no plan to oust Mueller or otherwise interfere into whether the president’s associates “colluded” with Russia to deprive Hillary Clinton of her natural birthright in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Members of Barack Obama’s Artful Dodger-like Resistance are on edge because some Republican lawmakers and conservative commentators have been escalating demands to send Muller to the curb.

The reality they refuse to acknowledge: Trump and Company have not removed Mueller in the past year, so why would they now?

No one makes a better case for not firing Mueller than Kurt Schlichter over at TownHall:

“The Russiagate non-scandal scandal is just another establishment grift, and it turns out that Mueller is the mark.

“So, Mr. President, please don’t fire this guy. Let him stagger on for a while longer, destroying the favßade of credibility our establishment betters thought they had constructed and that forms the basis of their shabby identities. He’s got nothing, and he will always have nothing, because the idiotic salve for the suckers that was Hillary’s excuse for losing to you—THE RUSSIANS DID IT! YEAH, UH, THE RUSSIANS! —was always a fraud, a way for that drunken aspiring tyrant and her coterie of slobbering courtiers to explain away their humiliating failure to beat you."

“As the noose tightens on them—a noose they tied and slipped on themselves thinking they were going to use it on that infernal interloper—the endgame becomes clearer and clearer. The endgame is their own downfall. The dike is leaking like a sieve and the media liars no longer have enough fingers to plug all of the holes.

“Conning The Donald into precipitous action was their only hope, a ploy designed to create a martyr out of that sad-faced shrub.

“When the transition email thing broke it was Oh yeah! Oh boy! Trump’s going to totally fire Mueller now! Social media was swamped by a coordinated Twitter tsunami of liberal femboys and celebrity fatties threatening to waddle into the streets—THE STREETS! —armed with their outrage and, inexplicably, cell phone chargers, to right this impending wrong.

For its part, conservative Twitter watched this festival of fussy indignation and concluded that their proposed Second Civil War would go really quick and be really amusing.

“Mueller is going to come out with a report with lots of innuendo and a few outright lies, but no yellow scalp. A year from now—three years from now, and if the wins keep coming, seven years from now—Donald Trump will still be president.

“Don’t fire him, Mr. President, at least not yet. Do something even crueler. Let Mueller and his pack of Democrat clowns keep making fools of themselves.”

Trump meets with Kelli Ward at Mar-a-Lago

President Trump reportedly met with GOP Senate candidate Kelli Ward at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Friday.

ABC News's Tara Palmeri tweeted that Trump met with the insurgent Arizona candidate shortly after arriving at his Palm Beach estate, where he's spending the holidays.

Ward tweeted earlier Friday that she was happy to see Trump arrive at Mar-a-Lago for the holidays, saying he needs some "celebratory time" with family and friends.

Ward, who launched a bid to challenge Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) earlier this year, is backed by Trump's former White House chief strategist, Stephen Bannon.

Bannon is recruiting and supporting candidates to challenge sitting Republican lawmakers he considers too cozy with the party's establishment wing.

Flake, a vocal critic of Trump, announced in October that he would not run for reelection, citing disparities between his own brand of conservatism and that of Trump and Bannon.

Trump visits golf club on first day of Christmas visit to Mar-a-Lago



Trump emphasized that he is on a "working vacation" while in Florida. He often works from his golf properties.

Trump broke tradition on Friday when he departed for the holidays without holding a year-end press conference before leaving Washington, D.C.
A White House official who declined to be named said Friday that Trump and his team passed on the press conference because they did not want to detract from positive media coverage after the passing of the GOP's tax reform plan, which Trump signed into law Friday.

While in transit, the president announced his support for Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.), who is considering a run to be Florida's governor.

"Congressman Ron DeSantis is a brilliant young leader, Yale and then Harvard Law, who would make a GREAT Governor of Florida. He loves our Country and is a true FIGHTER!" Trump tweeted.

How about this INSANE sentence? President Trump must pardon him at once!

Bundy Follower Gets 68 Years for Role in Armed Nevada Standoff

One of two men convicted in the first of several trials stemming from a 2014 standoff led by renegade rancher Cliven Bundy against federal authorities in Nevada was sentenced on Wednesday to 68 years in prison for his role in the armed confrontation.

Gregory Burleson, 53, of Phoenix, was found guilty in April of eight felony counts, including charges of threatening and assaulting federal officers, obstruction of justice, interstate travel in aid of extortion and firearms offenses related to a crime of violence.

The uprising at Bundy’s ranch near Bunkerville, Nevada, 75 miles (120 km) northeast of Las Vegas, grew out of a dispute in which federal agents seized Bundy’s cattle over his refusal to pay fees required for grazing his livestock on government land.

The standoff became a flashpoint in long-simmering tensions over federal ownership of vast tracts of public lands in the West, and a rallying point for right-wing militants who challenge the U.S. government’s authority in the region.

Burleson was the first of 17 defendants from the Bundy revolt to be tried, convicted and sent to prison. A co-defendant found guilty by the same jury faces sentencing in September.

Four others granted a mistrial in April are being retried in Nevada. Two more groups of defendants, including Bundy and his sons, are scheduled to stand trial later this year and next.

Two others charged in the case pleaded guilty separately. One received a seven-year prison term, the other will be sentenced in January, said Trisha Young, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Las Vegas.

Two of Bundy’s sons and four followers were acquitted of conspiracy charges in a separate trial in October stemming from their armed takeover of a federal wildlife center in Oregon in early 2016.

Wednesday’s sentencing came days before various militia groups plan a weekend rally near Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Burleson and the five others with whom he was tried were described by prosecutors as Bundy’s “gunmen and followers,” who showed up at his ranch from neighboring Western states armed with assault rifles and other weapons.

Prosecutors said all six were among hundreds who descended on Bunkerville in April 2014 for a showdown with federal officers providing security during a court-ordered roundup of Bundy’s cattle.

Outgunned by Bundy’s supporters, authorities released the cattle and left the area. Although no shots were fired, prosecutors said Burleson and his five co-defendants aimed rifles at law enforcement.

I watched many of the Bundy videos and it was not just BLM, there were some nasty FBI agents involved as well.

In one video BLM and FBI claimed NO CATTLE WERE SLAUGHTERED/KILLED while the video shows a bulldozer burying cattle in a pit!

The biased corrupt judge refused to allow the defense to show any of their collection of evidence - pictures in court.









Plus the protesters were NOT on BLM land so BLM had NO authority! They gathered under I-15 and that is Dept. of Transportation land!

mr40 you are right on the money! I worked for them and they tried to take every ranchers water rights. I hope the put the blm in jail!
