In this video, Rick Joyner, on Jim Bakker [ http://www.rightwingwatch.org/people/jim-bakker/ ]'s "The Jim Bakker Show [ https://jimbakkershow.com/video/patriotism-will-win-day-1/ ]", says that Donald Trump is the “warrior leader” that the U.S. needs at this time of war and insecurity, even comparing Trump to St. Peter, saying that like St. Peter, Trump is outspoken, bold, tireless and, absurdly, “humble.” “All I’m saying, I’m just saying, I’m just saying, he is going to say some outrageous things but he’s an honest man,” Joyner says of Trump.

As Donald Trump transitions into power, Trevor examines how the president-elect's business ventures pose conflicts of interests in the U.S. and abroad.
On the Tuesday, Nov. 29 edition of the Alex Jones Show, we'll go over Jill Stein and Hillary Clinton's blundering recount efforts, and a move by the left to invoke the 25th Amendment against Trump. And another Trump tweet stirs controversy, this time with the president elect suggesting flag burning should be a punishable offense. On today's show, we welcome political science professor Helmut Norpoth, whose predictive model showed an 87 percent chance of Trump winning the election, despite establishment polls saying otherwise.
Trump Calls for Revoking Flag Burners’ Citizenship. Court Rulings Forbid It. An American flag was burned outside the White House after Donald J. Trump was elected president this month. NOV. 29, 2016 [...] After the 1989 decision, supporters of a flag-burning ban tried to enact an amendment to the Constitution to make an exception to the First Amendment, but it twice fell short in the Senate [ http://www.nytimes.com/1989/10/20/us/senate-rejects-amendment-outlawing-flag-desecration.html ]. The issue flared again a decade ago. In 2005, Hillary Clinton, a senator from New York at that time, co-sponsored the Flag Protection Act [ https://www.congress.gov/bill/109th-congress/senate-bill/1911/cosponsors ]. Arguing that desecration of the symbol “may amount to fighting words or a direct threat to the physical and emotional well-being” of onlookers, the bill would have banned flag burning if abusing the symbol was “intended to incite a violent response rather than make a political statement.” The crafters of that bill sought to frame it as a compromise and an alternative to an amendment, saying “the Bill of Rights is a guarantee of those freedoms and should not be amended in a manner that could be interpreted to restrict freedom, a course that is regularly resorted to by authoritarian governments which fear freedom and not by free and democratic nations.” But Congress did not act on the legislation. The following year, when the Senate again tried to approve a constitutional amendment to empower Congress to ban flag desecration and it fell one vote short [ http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/27/washington/27cnd-flag.html ] of the necessary two-thirds majority, Mrs. Clinton was among those who voted against that measure [ http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/28/washington/28hillary.html ]. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/29/us/politics/trump-flag-burners-citizenship-first-amendment.html [with comments]

Full Show - CNN Unleashes Massive Waves Of Fake News - 11/30/2016
Published on Nov 30, 2016 by The Alex Jones Channel
On this Wednesday, Nov. 30th 2016 edition of the Alex Jones Show, we look into the ongoing purge of independent media as the ruling elite desperately attempt to regain control over public opinion. Trump insider Roger Stone co-hosts two hours of the show today to break down the latest power moves by President-elect Trump. We also look into the latest violence directed at Trump voters and how Europe is now so overfilled with "rapeugees" that 27% of Europe now thinks rape is justifiable.
An International Pedophile ring has been fully operational for decades. Plummeting down the rabbit hole you will eventually discover the Franklin Cover up, The Jimmy Saville Scandal, The Hampstead Cover up, The Elm Guest House Scandal, Jeffrey Epstein’s Lolita Island and many others that were eventually buried by a colluding media and the fact that the general public loses interest because the reality of high profile pedophilic predators is an alien world and completely repulsive to the average person.
But as recently as a week ago. Norwegian police arrested 20 men and were investigating 31 suspects involved in a pedophile network. Deputy Police Chief Gunnar Floystad told reporters that many of the suspects were highly educated and included lawyers and politicians. Prosecutors said the suspects had met on the Dark Web. The material discovered on the Dark Web involved children as young as toddlers and included acts of bestiality.
Let’s hope the walls are finally closing in on this cancer that has fed on thousands upon thousands of children worldwide.

Trump has ‘bizarre’ conversation with Pakistani leader

A week after the presidential election, Donald Trump spoke via phone with British Prime Minister Theresa May, though it seems no one prepared the president-elect on the basics of diplomacy. Trump apparently told May [ http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/trumps-special-relationship-with-the-queen-fkwfqnx9m ], for example, “If you travel to the U.S., you should let me know.”
The casual invitation “left civil servants amused and befuddled [ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/17/civil-servants-befuddled-trump-casual-invitation-may ].” In Trump’s mind, the British prime minister might have plans to swing by America for a visit, in which case, the president-elect hoped May would give him a heads-up. What Trump doesn’t realize is that May would only come if invited.
Pakistan’s Press Information Bureau on Wednesday released a readout of a phone call on Monday between Pakistan’s prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, and the U.S. president-elect, Donald Trump. The readout is unusual in that it focuses almost entirely on Trump’s contributions to the conversation, and reproduces them in a voice that is unmistakably his.
The report from the Pakistani government is online in its entirety here [ http://www.pid.gov.pk/?p=30445 ], and it really must be read to be fully appreciated: “President Trump said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif you have a very good reputation. You are a terrific guy. You are doing amazing work which is visible in every way. I am looking forward to see you soon…. Your country is amazing with tremendous opportunities. Pakistanis are one of the most intelligent people. I am ready and willing to play any role that you want me to play to address and find solutions to the outstanding problems.”
Of particular interest, the readout added, “On being invited to visit Pakistan by the Prime Minister, Mr. Trump said that he would love to come to a fantastic country, fantastic place of fantastic people. Please convey to the Pakistani people that they are amazing and all Pakistanis I have known are exceptional people, said Mr. Donald Trump.”
Oh my.
It’s worth noting that Trump hasn’t always had such a friendly attitude towards Pakistan. In recent years, Trump published tweets in which he insisted Pakistan “is not our friend [ https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/144148110799675392 ],” and shouldn’t be considered an “ally” of the United States.
But more pressing in this situation is that Trump told Nawaz Sharif he’s prepared to help resolve Pakistan’s problems and would love to visit Pakistan in person as president.
There are few foreign policy topics quite as complicated as the relationship between India and Pakistan, South Asia’s nuclear-armed nemeses. Any world leader approaching the issue even obliquely must surely see the “Handle With Care” label from miles away, given the possibility of nuclear conflict.
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, however, doesn’t seem to have read the memo, injecting a pronounced element of uncertainty about the position of the world’s only remaining superpower on this most complex of subjects in a call with the Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif…. Trump’s intervention could have serious consequences for both regional and global stability.
Tensions between India and Pakistan have intensified, which leaves the United States in an awkward position. The Obama administration has made a concerted effort [ http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/obama-advances-us-goals-india ] to strengthen U.S./India ties, while also delicately maintaining financial support for Pakistan.
Trump, who probably isn’t aware of the diplomatic balancing act, apparently signaled to Sharif a very different U.S. posture towards Pakistan – up to and including a presidential visit to the country.
If Trump does go to Pakistan, it risks alienating Indian allies. If Trump doesn’t visit after telling Sharif he would, it will further complicate an already difficult Pakistani relationship. And I can’t wait to hear what this means: “I am ready and willing to play any role that you want me to play to address and find solutions to the outstanding problems.”
Electing a president who doesn’t know what he’s doing carries real consequences.
