Cartel Members Starting to Worship Death in Twisted Form of Catholicism
Reported B
URL of the original posting site: http://conservativetribune.com/mexican-criminals-religion-dark/
Members of Mexican cartels are flocking to a new Mexican folk religion, and it puts a dark spin on Christianity. The religion involves devotion to La Santa Muerte, which translates to “Holy Death” or “Saint Death,” and can even include human sacrifice, reported Fox News.
The popularity of the religion among drug traffickers and violent criminals in Central Texas has raised concern among authorities, prompting Texas officials and the Catholic Church to warn about the dangers of the dark creed.
An FBI bulletin written by Robert J. Bunker, an academic and adviser to the government on security matters, noted the rise of the “criminalized and dark variant” of the Christian religion, pointing to many of its negative implications, which include “inspired and ritualistic killings.”
The bulletin said those who worship La Santa Muerte, who is depicted as a robed skeleton carrying a scythe in one hand and a globe or scales in the other, can partake of various forms of sacrifice that include the “ritual murder and butchering of humans.”
The report mentioned three instances where brutal killings took place in the name of Santa Muerte, killings that rival even the butchers of the Islamic State group.
“We’re seeing more and more criminals that are praying to Santa Muerte,” Robert Almonte, a former El Paso narcotics detective and former U.S. marshal, told KVUE.
Which is the reason why citizens, especially those in law enforcement, should be aware of this dark practice.
Almonte conducts seminars to inform law enforcement officers about the signs of the Santa Muerte cult.
“Officers are entering homes on drug search warrants and they’re encountering elaborate Santa Muerte shrines,” an undercover Austin police officer told KVUE.
Almonte also said that those practicing the religion believe that more intense sacrifices will earn them favor with Santa Muerte.
It’s frightening to think that people practice this kind of “religion,” and it’s even more frightening that we are seeing evidence of it in our own cities.
Yo, Liberal Dumbasses: Which ‘Collusion’ Story Is The Greatest Threat To Democracy?
Published by ClashDaily.com | July 20, 2017
URL of the original posting site: http://clashdaily.com/2017/07/yo-liberal-dumbasses-collusion-story-greatest-threat-democracy/
It looks like all of the ‘journalists’ in The Media (D) completely forgot about THESE stories amidst the Don Jr.-Russia Hysteria.
ClashDaily has already pointed out the Hillary-Russia connection that the Media (D) ignores.
And of course, there’s the Hillary camp’s ‘collusion’ with the Ukraine that the Media (D) ignores.
Instead, we’ve all heard about Don Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer and several others during the campaign to get dirt on Hillary.
It’s driving the ratings of the Media (D) these days, but even they know it’s B.S.
As one CNN producer said, ‘It’s business’.
Besides, we’re not actively hostile with Russia, are we? Obama and Hillary did a ‘reset’ and everything.
The Don Jr. story has been thoroughly covered, so we won’t get into all the nitty-gritty. If you need catching up, watch CNN for 5 minutes and you’ll be up to speed. It’s like 90 percent of their coverage.
If you don’t want to subject yourself to CNN for any length of time (which is understandable), here are Mark Steyn and Tucker Carlson doing a great job summing up:
Instead, we’ll take the ‘Way Back Machine’ and check out some other ‘collusion’ stories that The Media (D) seem to forget about.
Ted Kenned And The KGB
Moscow. General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU and Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union Leonid Brezhnev meets with US senator Edward Kennedy.
Composed in 1983 by Victor Chebrikov, the top man at the KGB, the memorandum was addressed to Yuri Andropov, the top man in the entire USSR. The subject: Sen. Edward Kennedy.
“On 9-10 May of this year,” the May 14 memorandum explained, “Sen. Edward Kennedy’s close friend and trusted confidant [John] Tunney was in Moscow.” (Tunney was Kennedy’s law school roommate and a former Democratic senator from California.) “The senator charged Tunney to convey the following message, through confidential contacts, to the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Y. Andropov.”
Kennedy’s message was simple. He proposed an unabashed quid pro quo. Kennedy would lend Andropov a hand in dealing with President Reagan. In return, the Soviet leader would lend the Democratic Party a hand in challenging Reagan in the 1984 presidential election. “The only real potential threats to Reagan are problems of war and peace and Soviet-American relations,” the memorandum stated. “These issues, according to the senator, will without a doubt become the most important of the election campaign.”
Source: Forbes
Kennedy had some specific proposals for Andropov. He suggested:
– he would visit Moscow
– he would assist the Soviets in brushing up their propaganda against Reagan
– he would give Soviet leaders arguments against nuclear disarmament so they would be more convincing to Americans
– he would make arrangements for Andropov to be interviewed by the Media (D) to be aired on American TV
– he insisted the interviews look as though they were initiated by the American media, and would ‘rig’ them to look like ‘honest journalism’
Why did he do it? The memo says because of his ‘concern’ for the rising tensions between the US and the USSR. Oh, and he wanted to run for President in 1988.
But that’s a minor factor, amirite?
When President Reagan chose to confront the Soviet Union, calling it the evil empire that it was, Sen. Edward Kennedy chose to offer aid and comfort to General Secretary Andropov. On the Cold War, the greatest issue of his lifetime, Kennedy got it wrong.
Just think of what would have happened if had Kennedy succeeded.
Nancy Pelosi And Bashir al-Assad
I’m old enough to remember when Bashar al-Assad was viewed as a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad man. But not to Nancy Pelosi in 2007.
Nope.
Pelosi, who was Speaker at the time, decided to go to Syria and chat with Assad herself — because it was time to negotiate. She did so against the wishes of President Bush. Here she is showing her full denture smile as she meets the barbaric murderer that gasses his own people and gives ‘safe passage’ to terrorists Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad.
“The road to Damascus is a road to peace.” Those were damning words. When Nancy Pelosi embraced Bashar al-Assad in April 2007, she wasn’t simply challenging the commander-in-chief during a war; she was propagandizing for a dictator who was killing Americans…
…With the tacit approval of the Syrian regime, between 2005 and 2008, foreign jihadists flooded along the arterial highways that connect eastern Syria and western Iraq. Once in Iraq, they joined up with facilitators from the Islamic State’s precursor, al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI). The zealots were then assigned to murder American soldiers and Marines. And AQI was responsible for particularly gruesome crimes…
…Granting AQI safe haven and supply routes, Mr. Assad was complicit in their crimes. As speaker (entitled to near-highest level intelligence), Pelosi knew this…
…President Bush was (for the reasons outlined) firmly against Pelosi’s trip. Second, State Department briefings do not signify endorsement of travel. They simply reflect State’s rightful need to inform U.S. representatives and ensure their safety. Nothing changes the fact that Speaker Pelosi — third in line to the presidency — praised an American enemy while he was helping to murder Americans and attack U.S. interests.
Source: National Review
Pelosi has continued with her bizarre behavior and is shockingly still holding public office despite her strange press conferences and near-constant messing up of the language. Half the time she refers to President Trump as President Bush.
Seriously, folks, there’s got to be somebody in California that can run against her. She’s a mess!
Looks like the Media (D) has amnesia about these incidents of ‘collusion’.
Maybe they need a reminder.
This Week’s Ann Coulter Letter: How Delta Airlines Wrecked American Health Care
Commentary by 
Ann Coulter |
URL of the original posting site: http://humanevents.com/2017/07/19/how-delta-airlines-wrecked-american-health-care/
I think I’ve found the core problem with health care in America. And guess what? It involves Delta Airlines!
A few weeks ago, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow was going on and on about a “single insurance provider” that pays for 49 percent of all births, as well as full health care costs of almost 40 percent of all children in the United States. This single “insurer,” Maddow said, was the biggest “health insurance provider in the country by a mile.”
Maddow was talking about Medicaid, which, of course, is not “insurance” but “welfare.”
When we’re allowed to call things whatever we want in order to win an argument, there is a total breakdown in democratic politics, fair commerce and social interaction.
Thus, for example, until we get our terms straight, Americans will be forced to keep paying through the nose whenever they try to buy actual health insurance — because they aren’t buying health insurance; they’re paying for other people’s welfare. Washington will never be able to make it legal to sell real health insurance — because, if they try, the welfare recipients will mob congressional offices claiming that Republicans are murdering them.
There is no truth in any discussion of Obamacare. Currently, the most persistent lie is the claim that — according to scoring by the CBO! — 22 million Americans would “lose” their health insurance under the Senate health care bill. Turn on the TV right now and you’ll hear someone saying this.
“A new (CBO) budget score said 22 million more Americans would lose health coverage under this plan …”
— Poppy Harlow, CNN, June 27, 2017
“A score from the Congressional Budget Office … said the Republican bill to kill Obamacare would kick 22 million Americans off their health insurance.”
— Rachel Maddow, June 27, 2017
“The clock is ticking on the Senate health care bill as the CBO estimates 22 million people will lose their insurance.”
— Chris Hayes, June 26, 2017
HELLO? REPUBLICANS? ANY OF YOU GUYS WANT TO REBUT THAT? IT’S PRETTY EASY TO DO!
The actual CBO report says nothing of the sort. People citing the “22 million” figure didn’t read past the CBO’s headline-grabbing paragraph at the top of the “Summary” page.
In fact, the CBO merely estimates that — in the year 2026 — 22 million Americans who otherwise would have been forced by the Obamacare penalty to buy health insurance will choose not to buy insurance once the penalty is gone. By “people thrown off their health insurance,” liberals mean: “people who voluntarily decide not to have health insurance.” (More accurately, “people who choose not to prove to the government that they have health insurance.”)
To use the word “lose” here is absurd. It would be like saying that Nixon ending the draft meant that 50,000 American men would “lose” their military service. The poor lads would be forced to volunteer.
Last year, I chose to end my New York Times subscription. I wasn’t “thrown off” the Times’ subscriber list. In full possession of the facts, I made an informed decision that I no longer wanted to receive the Times — just as 22 million Americans (the CBO guesses) will make an informed decision in the year 2026 not to have health insurance, if given that option.
Redefining words like “insurance” and “lose” to mean whatever the speaker wants them to mean makes human conversation impossible. We can still grunt, howl and shiver when it’s cold, but we will no longer have the ability to communicate slightly more complex thoughts to one another.
The only solution is for the rest of us to impose a broken windows policy on the truth, demanding it in every walk of life. If liars continually get away with it, their lies will only become more preposterous and more enraging.
Illegal aliens are not “undocumented immigrants.” They’re not “immigrants” at all. Immigrants wait in line and jump through hoops to be here. They are invited, by us, to come. Illegals cut to the head of the line whenever the mood strikes them, without waiting for an invitation.
When you have a “reserved seat” on Delta, it means you expect to be given that seat and not have your ticket snatched from your hand, then moved to a worse seat — only to get abused on social media by an imperious corporation for talking about it on Twitter.
(Idea for new Delta motto: “If you like your seat, you can keep your seat!”)
This is why the “Seinfeld” exchange with a car rental company struck such a chord. It was about the infuriating result when words like “reservation” have no meaning:
Jerry: I don’t understand. I made a reservation. Do you have my reservation?
Rental car agent: Yes, we do. Unfortunately, we ran out of cars.
Jerry: But the reservation keeps the car here. That’s why you have the reservation.
Rental car agent: I know why we have reservations.
Jerry: I don’t think you do. If you did, I’d have a car. See, you know how to take the reservation, you just don’t know how to hold the reservation. And that’s really the most important part of the reservation: the holding. Anybody can just take them.
If we’re going to have any kind of civil society, we need to insist that words mean what they say.
“Health insurance”: A group of people pooling their money every month, in the event that one of them ends up with an expensive medical problem.
“Wall”: Wall.
“Republican”: Does not raise taxes, propose amnesty or appoint David Hackett Souter to the Supreme Court.
“Seat 3A”: The seat you were promised.
Unless the rest of us demand truth, the liars will be emboldened, their lies will snowball and nothing will ever work.
‘Weaponized Failure’: The Truth About Antifa Protesters (Video)
Published by ClashDaily.com | July 20, 2017
URL of the original posting site: http://clashdaily.com/2017/07/weaponized-failure-truth-antifa-protesters-video/
This video gives the BRUTAL truth about the Antifa protesters. It. Is. Perfect.
The ‘antifascist’ group that was once on the fringe is becoming mainstream because of attention from The Media (D) and the #Resistance.
The Left is committed to embracing any group that will ‘resist’ President Trump, no matter how delusional or mixed up in their worldview. In some bizarro Leftist world, President Trump is a fascist. So are conservatives that think that free speech is something that we can — and should — engage in.
It was the so-called anti-fascists that have been tearing Berkeley apart anytime a conservative tries to speak on campus. First Milo Yiannopoulos, then Ann Coulter. We’ll see what happens in September when Ben Shapiro heads over to UC Berkeley to speak. Shapiro has already called out the Administration to not ‘hide behind Antifa‘ and says that ‘the home of the free speech movement has an obligation to protect free speech‘.
Antifa has made it their job to ‘resist’ President Trump. There’s a reason for that — for most of them, it’s the only ‘job’ they have.
And it’s so weird that the Left is ok with supporting them in their version of ‘resistance’. These people are violent. They are destructive.
If conservatives are ‘evil’ for their fight against a hiked up minimum wage, (which would raise prices on everything and cut workers’ hours,) then what about the people that smash up and loot the Starbucks that actually employs people? It’s not like the employees can show up for their shift if the store is closed for repairs, right?
Besides, where are the Antifa folks going to get their post-protest Frappuccino?
There are rabid feminists fighting for Muslims to have the right to subjugate and abuse women because to do otherwise wouldn’t be ‘tolerant’.
Ugh. These people are so ridiculous.
Watch:
Yes, they’re people with a worldview that appears to be stitched together with all the skill exhibited by Dr. Frankenstein when creating his monster. It’s huge, ugly, and it lumbers about scaring people. The big 
difference between Frankenstein’s monster and Antifa is that the monster was devastated by his frightening exterior and was a gentle soul on the inside. Antifa is thrilled that they’re scary monsters.
The Antifa crowd are so very committed to tolerance that they are completely intolerant of the people that disagree with them.
These people are happy to ‘punch a Nazi’ and to them, anyone that disagrees is a Nazi.
These Leftist extremists are wreaking havoc everywhere.
Is this where we want to be as a society?
These Antifa thugs are bullies and don’t even see that they are the very thing that they claim to fight against.
It’s time to change our culture.

Trump: Yes to Free Trade – No to Stupid Trade
Reported
The Trump Administration celebrated the First Annual Made in America Product Showcase on Monday and the event gave the President yet another opportunity to prove his “America First” bonafides to our media weary nation.
President Trump delivered another excellent speech reminding Americans everywhere about our long history of manufacturing and trade, but one moment in particular will follow the President as he moves forward. It was a short part of the speech that allowed him to articulate his philosophy on trade and business..
President James Garfield said, of our nation’s manufacturers, that, “to them the country owes the splendor of the position it holds before the world” — meaning, protect us.
Theodore Roosevelt declared in his first message to Congress that “reciprocity” — my favorite word, reciprocity — because we have countries that charge us 100 percent tax on a product, and when that product is sold by them to us, we brilliantly charge them nothing. And people say, oh, that’s free trade. No, that’s stupid trade. That’s really stupid trade. (Applause.)
It’s incredible. You’ll actually have people who — “No, we can’t do that. That’s free trade.” It’s just — that’s so incredible, but what are you going to do. (Laughter.) Oh, what happens in Washington, you just wouldn’t believe the things.
But “reciprocity must be treated as the handmaiden of protection.” And William McKinley proclaimed that “we ought to take care of our own nation and her industries first.” We have to look at our nation first for a change. We’ve been looking the other way for a long, long time. And if you look at what’s going on or the success of other nations — even in Europe — you look at some of those countries, one in particular, it’s not fair to the United States.
And that’s why I’m here, and I believe it’s one of the primary reasons you elected me and Mike. I mean, that’s why we’re here. And I think you’re going to see a big, big — I don’t think — I don’t think — I know you’re going to see one of the great differences, and you’re already seeing it, but it’s going to get more so and more so. And we’re going to end up having a level playing field.
I don’t want to say any more than level. But if the playing field were slanted like a little bit toward us, I’d accept that also. Okay?
Here’s the Full Speech:
Transcript via the White House:
Thank you, Mike. And you know, Mike, it is true that, as I walked through the halls, we saw so many great companies, but the gentleman who was in charge of Omaha Beef — they do beef — he hugged me, he wanted to kiss me so badly. (Laughter.) Because he said, our business is a whole different business now because you got China approved; the other administrations couldn’t even come close. And I told him, you know how long it took? One sentence. I said, President Xi, we’d love to sell beef back in China again. He said, you can do that. That was the end of that. Right? (Applause.) Sonny. The great Sonny Perdue. (Applause.) So we’re very happy.
But we’re here today to celebrate American manufacturing and to showcase the amazing products from all 50 states, made in the USA. Remember in the old days they used to have “Made in the USA”, “Made in America”? But made in the USA. We’re going to start doing that again. We’re going to put that brand on our product because it means it’s the best.
In just a few months and moments, I will say what we’ve done over a short period of time and what we’re going to be doing over the next six months will be incredible.
We’ve signed more bills — and I’m talking about through the legislature — than any President ever. For a while, Harry Truman had us, and now I think we have everybody, Mike. I better say “think,” otherwise they’ll give me a Pinocchio — (laughter) — and I don’t like those — I don’t like Pinocchios. (Laughter.)
In just a few moments, I’ll be signing a Presidential Proclamation to launch “Made in America Week” and to make today “Made in America Day.”
We are thrilled to be joined today by so many incredible members of my Cabinet. Every member of my administration shares the same goal: to provide a level playing field for American workers and for American industry. (Applause.) And we are providing it much faster than other countries would like. So it’s been really a pleasure.
We want to build, create, and grow more products in our country using American labor, American goods, and American grit. When we purchase products made in the USA, the profits stay here, the revenue stays here, and the jobs — maybe most importantly of all — they stay right here in the USA. (Applause.)
In the audience today we have skilled workers, we have business leaders whose American-made goods we are proudly displaying all over the White House and outside. I saw fire engines. I saw tractors from Caterpillar. I saw some incredible machinery. Make it right here. We thank you for being here. We’re honored to showcase your creations. And I will say, they’ve really taken on, and some of you have built names that I know of for so long. And its — congratulations. Right? You in particular. What a great job you’ve done. Thank you very much. And I saw you on television this morning. You were fantastic. I don’t know what you’re doing, exactly, but you could always have a second career. (Laughter.) You did a great job. Thank you very much.
American workers, farmers, and innovators are really the best in the world — we know that. And what we’re doing [with] that is we’re displaying those talents. You construct and harvest the products that fill our homes, feed our families, and defend our nation, and enrich our lives. I want to make a pledge to each and every one of you: No longer are we going to allow other countries to break the rules, steal our jobs, and drain our wealth — and it has been drained. It has been drained. (Applause.)
You’re going to see a lot of things happening over the next six months — you know, statutorily and through a lot of different legal — through the legal process. It takes a while to get it set so that you’re allowed to do it. You’re not allowed to do, but we’ve now mostly fulfilled all of that. And over the next short period of time, you’re going to see things announced that you won’t even believe for our country and for selling product in our country and making product in our country,and things that are great for American jobs. You’re going to be seeing that happening really quickly because we are totally set up, and the hard part now is done. It is a long, horrible process, but we’re going to also get rid of some of that process for the future. But we’re going to stand up for our companies and, maybe most importantly, for our workers.
For decades, Washington has allowed other nations to wipe out millions of American jobs through unfair trade practices. Wait until you see what’s up for you. You are going to be so happy. This painful exodus of American jobs — and I’ve been talking about it for years — was also marked by a period of sluggish growth, falling incomes, surging welfare, and shrinking participation in the workforce. Clearly, it’s time for a new policy — one defined by two simple rules: We will buy American and we will hire American. Right, Governor? (Applause.)
My administration is removing the burdens and regulations on your companies so that you can compete, thrive, and grow. How many of you have noticed this so far? Because it’s a big, big difference, right? That’s a big, big difference. The people are coming up to me — they can’t even believe it. We took the farmer’s land away. We took the homebuilder’s land away. They have their land back now, and they’re building homes and they’re farming their farms, and it’s a beautiful thing to see. And they’re so thankful.
So a lot of those regulations have been taken off; the rest are coming off. And, by the way, we will have better protection than we’ve ever had, but we’ll also have something where you don’t have to wait 15 years for a permit and then when you go to the board, you lose. And that’s a big portion of your life wiped out waiting for a permit. We’re not going to let that happen.
But for our nation to really prosper, we must lower the tax on
business — one of the highest in the world — and we must repeal job-killing Obamacare. We have to do that. (Applause.) And I can tell you, we hope John McCain gets better very soon because we miss him. He’s a crusty voice in Washington. Plus, we need his vote. (Laughter.) And he’ll be back. And he will be back sooner than somebody else would be back. He’ll be back soon.
But we need that vote. And we need a number of votes because we do have to repeal Obamacare, and we will end up replacing it with something that is going to be outstanding — far, far better than failing Obamacare where premiums have gone up, in some cases over 200 percent this year; where every single element of it is bad, and the insurance companies, by the way, are fleeing, so people have — in some states you have no insurance companies.
And we have some governors here, and we have senators here, and we have congressmen here, and women — and I will tell you, it’s a very, very hard time they’re having with the Obamacare situation. So we’re going to get that done, and I think we’re going to surprise a lot of people. But they’re pushing very hard. The Republican senators are great people, but they have a lot of different states. Some states need this, some states need that. But we’re getting it together, and it’s going to happen. Right, Mike?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Yes, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: I think. (Laughter and applause.) And when it does happen, that will be a big day in America, believe me. A big day in America.
But we must also fight the unfair trade practices that have gutted our industry, and that includes cracking down on the predatory online sales of foreign goods, which is absolutely killing our shoppers and our shopping centers. If you look at what’s going on with shopping centers and stores and jobs in stores, it’s been very, very tough for them. They’ve had a very hard time. Closing at numbers and records that have never been seen before. So we have to stop that — the online predatory practices.
Since the beginning of the year, we have already created over 50,000 brand-new manufacturing jobs, and we’re just getting started. We will lift our citizens from welfare to work. We will turn boarded-up communities into new outposts of American commerce. And we will once again rediscover our heritage as a manufacturing nation. We used to be a manufacturing nation. Not so much anymore. But I will tell you, if you look at Michigan, if you look at some states that have really moved — you know, in Pennsylvania, two weeks ago they opened the mine — the first mine that was opened in decades. Opened a mine.
And you know all the people that were saying the mining jobs? Well, we picked up 45,000 mining jobs in a very short period of time. And everybody was saying, well, you won’t get any mining jobs. We picked up 45,000 mining jobs, and the miners are very happy with Trump and with Pence. And we’re very proud of that. But that’s just the beginning. We have jobs coming from all over.
Restoring American manufacturing will not only restore our wealth, it will restore our pride and pride in ourselves. It will revitalize our independence, and it will rebuild the bonds of kinship between our communities and our citizens, which has been lagging, wouldn’t you say?
For most of our nation’s history, American — and we see this — American Presidents have understood that in order to protect our economy and our security, we must protect our industry. And much of that comes at the border. George Washington encouraged Americans to produce their own goods so that our young nation could become truly independent.
So, once again, we will celebrate craftsmen, producers, and innovators like the incredible men and women in this room today. We will protect our workers, promote our industry, and be proud of our history because we will put America first. America will be first again. We will make America great again. Remember that. (Applause.) And we’ll meet in this same room in a year and in two years, and you’ll see what happened.
Thank you for all being here. God bless you and God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you, thank you. (Applause.)
(The President moves to the signing desk.)
So this is being signed in honor of Made in America Day and Made in America Week, and soon we’re going to have Made in America Decades. We’re going to have a lot of tremendous success, and it’s already just starting to kick in.
You see it with the job numbers. You see it with the stock market, which hit an all-time high every day for quite a while now. You see it with so many other things. And most importantly perhaps, you see it with the manufacturers. Their level of enthusiasm is greater now than at any time since they’ve been taking this type of poll, and I believe it’s 28 years old. So people are enthused. Are you all enthused? (Applause.)
Thank you all for being here.

Martin Luther King’s Niece Praises Trump For Supporting ‘Everybody’s Civil Rights’
Reported
URL of the original posting site: http://www.westernjournalism.com/martin-luther-kings-niece-praises-trump-supporting-everybodys-civil-rights/
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece praised President Donald Trump Sunday for supporting the civil rights of all people, including the unborn.
“First, I’d like to say that the president, of course, is leading the charge for civil rights today for the little unborn persons in the womb who have a right to live,” Dr. Alveda King said on Fox & Friends.
“I’m director of Civil Rights for the Unborn, and I say that everybody’s civil rights count from the womb to the tomb: the young, the old, the sick, the elderly, the babies in the womb, and everything,” she said.
During the interview, King was asked about comments from Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., who called Trump “uncaring” about civil rights.
She responded that she holds Lewis, a veteran of civil rights marches, in “great esteem” but suggested she differed with him on Trump.

“He’s one of the greatest defenders of non-violent conflict resolution, extending that olive branch,” King said of Lewis. “So everybody in America needs to do some homework and stop playing the race card.”
She said Trump “is certainly fighting for civil rights today and he has surrounded himself with African-American leaders and everyone that is supporting.”
King said that she did not see herself as standing up for the president as much as for the ideals that are integral to American society.
“We don’t have to defend the president,” said King. “I believe President Trump might agree that we are defending America. He’s leading the charge, and we are supporting him.”
King said that Trump has a grasp on the trials that African-Americans have faced in this country.
“Now, at the African-American museum, for example, he was knowledgeable of much of the history of African-Americans,” said King. “And when we stopped and we looked at some of the displays, the little slave manacles and things, he said, ‘this is terrible. You can’t do that to people.’”
She said Trump is surrounding himself with “knowledgeable people,” and praised him for standing up for civil rights as president.
“President Trump himself is a brilliant man. I believe he’s compassionate. If you go and look at all of the executive orders, the things for women and science, for African-American education, for moving into our communities with Dr. Ben Carson at HUD,” she said.
Cop Mohammed Noor Shot Yoga Teacher From Patrol Car, While Reaching Over His Partner
Posted by GirlsJustWannaHaveGuns.com | July 18, 2017

Details of the fatal shooting of yoga and spiritual healing teacher Justine Damond have been released. It is being reported that Officer Mohammed Noor acted alone when fatally shooting Damond, and his partner was ‘stunned’ when he opened fire.
Officer Matthew Harrity was in the driver’s seat during the incident. He was speaking with Damond after she phoned 911 to report a sexual assault that occurred near her home. At this time, Noor reached across him and shot her in the abdomen.
According to a police source, Harrity was ‘left stunned’ by Noor’s actions.
Clearly Harrity did not view the woman in question as a posing threat, which makes Noor’s motive for shooting Damond all the more suspicious.
The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, BCA, investigating the incident, is remaining tight lipped about what happened late that Saturday night until they finish interviewing Noor and Harrity as part of their probe.
Meanwhile, the Mayor of Minneapolis Betsy Hodges is demanding to know why neither officer had their bodycam turned on at the time, which she called a ‘key question’ for investigators.
Mohammed Noor, 31, has since offered his ‘condolences’ but demanded everyone respect his privacy after opening fire on the 40-year-old yoga instructor.
Justine Damond is a teacher at the Minneapolis Lake Harriet Spiritual Community, who teaches meditation classes and spiritual healing. She is hardly a suspect you would imagine being fatally shot down by police. Yet, it happened.
Relatives, friends and even the mayor are demanding answers. They want to know why she was killed in the first place and why the officer who shot Damond didn’t have his/her body camera on.
“I mean ask anybody here, they’re shocked,” said Corey Birkholz, a student of Justine Damond. “It doesn’t seem like she’d be the kind of person to get shot in an alley,” Birkholz said.
His feelings were shared by more than 200 people who gathered for a vigil Sunday near the spot where Damond died hours earlier.
“A woman who you met her — was just peaceful,” a neighbor at the vigil said.
Investigators with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) said that at around 11:30 p.m. Saturday, a 911 call was made about a possible assault in the area.
The involved police officer fired their weapon, killing a woman.
A man who identified himself as Damond’s son said in a Facebook video that she’s the one who called 911 after hearing a noise in the alley near their home.
“She thought something bad was happening and next thing I know, they take my best friend’s life,” Zach said in the video.
Investigators said both officers had body cameras, but neither were on.
“I don’t know anything about the law or police work to that extent but to me, it seems really stupid. You have a body camera, aren’t you supposed to use them?” asked Birkholz.
Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges made a statement saying, “I share the same questions other people have about why we don’t have body camera footage of it, and I hope to get answers to that in the days coming.”
Investigators said the squad car video was on but didn’t capture what happened at the scene. The detectives said they’re trying to figure out if any video evidence of what happened exists.
10,000 New ICE Agents are Ordered to Crackdown on Sanctuary Cities
Posted by GirlsJustWannaHaveGuns.com | July 19, 2017
URL of the original posting site: http://girlsjustwannahaveguns.com/10000-new-ice-agents-ordered-crackdown-sanctuary-cities/
The handcuffs have come off for ICE agents, now that President Obama is out of office, and they’re ready for business. Acting ICE director, Thomas Homan, has revealed new plans to target sanctuary cities, which includes the hiring of 10,000 more agents.
Homan said during an interview with the Washington Examiner said that he views sanctuary cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City and Chicago as “ludicrous” and plans to direct the extra agents to those areas.
“In the America I grew up in, cities didn’t shield people who violated the law,” he said.
Homan blasted state and local authorities who do not cooperate with ICE’s efforts to deport illegal immigrants after they’re arrested. He said the strategy makes it more dangerous for ICE agents, who then must try to track down the suspects on the streets.
He said ICE will continue to place the higher priority on criminal aliens and those who represent a threat to the community.
Speaking to Neil Cavuto last week, Homan said those who cross the border illegally can no longer assume no one is looking for them.
“[President Trump] basically told [us] you can now do your job, you will enforce laws on your books. There’s no population of alien that’s off the table anymore and we’ve been waiting on that for a decade now,” said Homan.
Meantime, engineers have begun drilling and taking soil samples in preparation for construction of President Trump’s promised border wall in southwestern states.
The Department of Homeland Security is focusing on the San Diego area and the Rio Grande Valley as the highest priority areas for the wall.

Former Clinton Staffer Pays Trump Unexpected Compliment
Reported
URL of the original posting site: http://conservativetribune.com/former-clinton-top-staffer-trump/
Advertisement – story continues below
President Donald Trump’s economic policies have had a positive impact on the American business climate, and his allies aren’t the only ones who have noticed. In fact, Mack McLarty, the chief of staff for former president Bill Clinton, recently suggested during an MSNBC interview that Democrats should adopt a more Trump-like message when it comes to jobs and the economy.
McLarty argued that instead of just being anti-Trump, Democrats needed to “stand for something,” including a serious approach to strengthening the economy.
“I don’t think there’s any question that the message should be a real focus on jobs and how were really going to broaden and strengthen this economy,” McLarty said. “President Trump has proposed some ways to do that in terms of infrastructure development and tax reform, all hard but doable.”
The former Clinton staffer was commenting on responses to a question a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll that indicated only 37 percent of Americans think the Democratic Party stands for something, and 52 percent think the Democrats only stand against Trump.
“They’ve got to do more than just stand against Trump,” McLarty said. “I think it’s always difficult when you’re in the minority to come out with a coherent, broad message.”
So far, however, the message from Democrats has been fairly simple: “Trump is bad.” In fact, current Democrat lawmakers have spent the majority of the year finding ways to undermine Trump’s presidency or poke holes in the legitimacy of his election.
It’s easy to say that you disagree with someone’s political stance, but simply disagreeing with the president won’t — or shouldn’t — be enough to get you elected. Instead, you must have solid, effective policy ideas of your own. Unfortunately for Democrats, they’re still clinging to the same failed policies that plagued the country under former President Barack Obama’s administration.
And as we saw in the 2016 presidential election, those policies won’t get you elected anymore — which is probably why McLarty is advising his party to look to Trump for inspiration on how to appeal to voters.

Border Patrol Union President Says Morale Among Border Patrol Agents At All-Time High
URL of the original posting site: http://www.westernjournalism.com/border-patrol-union-president-says-morale-among-border-patrol-agents-time-high/
Contending that President Donald Trump has done an excellent job of enforcing immigration law, the president of the National Border Patrol Council said Monday that morale has never been higher among Border Patrol agents.
Brandon Judd, the union’s president, said on Fox & Friends that the Border Patrol was not allowed to enforce immigration law over the last eight years because of the Obama administration’s catch-and release policies.
When asked to explain why the number of illegal border crossings has gone down so significantly under the Trump administration, Judd said that a message has been sent that “if you cross our borders illegally, you will be detained and you will be sent back.
“If you’re in the left, right or in the middle, you have to say this president has done exactly what he promised to do,” Judd said.
“We do have border security like what we expect to see,” he added.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported that the number of apprehensions has dropped to a six-year low in July, likely due to the president’s aggressive enforcement policies.
Regarding Trump’s proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexican border, Judd said that the U.S. must “have to have a double-layered wall,” also known as a secondary fence.
“If you look at El Paso or San Diego where we did it right, illegal immigration has plummeted and if we do it right in strategic locations like what the president said, we’re going to control illegal immigration,” Judd said.
“I think it’s going to get done,” he said of the effort to build the border wall.
In March, U.S. Customs and Border Protection solicited proposals for two types of walls — one concrete barrier and another consisting of alternative materials which might include energy-producing solar panels.
U.S. Customs and Border Enforcement entered “phase two” of the process in June, announcing that it would construct up to eight prototypes for consideration.
While they await the wall, Judd said there is now a “vibe” and “energy” among Border Patrol officers that he has not seen during his 20-year career.
“We signed up to do a job and this president is allowing us to do that job,” he said.

Texas Republicans take aim at liberal cities
Reported By Reid Wilson – 07/17/17 06:00 AM EDT
URL of the original posting site: http://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/342291-texas-republicans-take-aim-at-liberal-cities
AUSTIN — The sunset red granite of the Texas state capitol stands at 302 feet. It towers over nearby Travis County and Austin municipal buildings, as if to convey a physical superiority over those lesser government bodies. When legislators return for a special session this week, they will advance a series of laws that would make that state supremacy more concrete.
Republicans who run Texas are increasingly targeting laws passed by cities and counties with so-called preemption measures, bills that would restrict a local government’s power to pass laws regulating certain industries or setting policy. It is part of a national trend in which Republican legislators are moving to preempt local governments, on issues ranging from minimum wage laws to immigration enforcement and even the use of plastic bags at retail establishments.
Supporters say the preemption laws are meant to create a consistent set of laws around a state. Opponents say it is a way for conservative legislatures to overrule more liberal city governments, at the cost of local control.
“Part of it is motivated by our urban communities that are very blue and Democratic and have different ideas about the environment and workers rights. I think it’s just offensive to Republican leaders,” Gina Hinojosa, a Democratic state representative whose district includes the core of downtown Austin, said in an interview in her Capitol office.
In Texas, where Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has the power to set the agenda in this week’s special session, legislators will consider eight new measures to take power away from county and municipal governments.
Two proposals would set caps on taxes and spending. Two others would govern permitting and construction projects. One would prevent cities from requiring homeowners to seek approval before cutting down historic trees on their own property. Another would set a statewide standard for texting while driving, superseding local efforts to crack down on distracted driving. The last, and perhaps most controversial, would limit a local government’s ability to dictate whether transgender students have the right to use bathroom and locker room facilities of their choice. 
The bill, similar to one passed in North Carolina last year, has generated intense opposition from business groups across Texas. On Friday, IBM, one of the largest employers in the state, took out a full-page ad in major papers around Texas opposing the bill. Business groups plan a rally at the Capitol Monday to reiterate their opposition to the bill, which they say will cost Texas billions in lost economic activity.
Abbott said the legislation is his way of ensuring local governments do not step on the rights of Texans.
“What we’ve seen in Texas is a growing rise of actions at the local level that infringe upon people’s liberty. And just like I fought back against the federal government that was infringing on people’s liberty, I’ll fight back against federal, state or any government that infringes upon people’s liberty,” Abbott said in an interview in San Antonio, where he kicked off his bid for a second term as governor.
As Republicans have built their political power in state capitals across the country, Democrats who run the nation’s largest cities have increasingly found themselves at loggerheads with state officials. Some state legislatures have prohibited local jurisdictions from raising the minimum wage. Others have blocked cities from enacting tougher restrictions on gun possession.
Earlier this year, Texas passed a law meant to crack down on so-called sanctuary cities, where local police do not comply with federal immigration detainer requests — even though there are no sanctuary cities in Texas.
Austin itself has been a frequent target of the state legislature. The sanctuary city law came after the newly elected Travis County sheriff, a Democrat, said her officers would not comply with detainer requests, a decision set to take effect in September. The ban on local tree ordinances targets an Austin law — one that frustrated Abbott himself when he tried to build a swimming pool at his Austin home.
“Austin is always number one on that target list,” Hinojosa said.
Nationally, at least 140 measures preempting local government actions were introduced in legislatures this year, according to Grassroots Change, a California-based group that opposes preemption laws. Nineteen of those measures became law, including three so far in Texas.
“These have really become just out-and-out fights between the state legislature and communities,” said Mark Pertschuk, who runs Grassroots Change. “This is an issue of democracy.”
One state, Arizona, has passed a law that could withhold state funding from city and county governments that pass laws any state legislator finds objectionable, a so-called blanket preemption. Texas Republicans proposed a similar measure, though state House Speaker Joe Straus (R) quietly killed that plan.
Pertschuk said laws that start at the city and state level have frequently become national models on everything from workers’ rights to public health — like child labor laws, fire prevention measures and smoking bans.
“Almost everything that keeps us from being crushed to death or dying from chronic disease too early in the history of the United States has been done at the local level,” he said. Preemption laws “will stop innovation in civil rights, in safety and in community health.”
Abbott, a former state Supreme Court justice and Texas attorney general before winning the governorship in 2015, said the state is well within its rights to set standards for local governments. It is the state constitution, not the United States Constitution, that lays out a city’s or county’s powers.
“Tell me in the [U.S.] Constitution where it mentions cities. Tell me where it mentions counties,” Abbott said. “The way the country was created, the way it was designed, the architecture of the United States of America puts states at the centerpiece. States create counties and cities and give them the authority that they can have.”
Both Abbott and Hinojosa said the clash stems from a changing Texas, in which the state’s population is increasingly moving from rural areas to urban cores and booming suburbs. Four of the 10 counties that added the most new residents in the last year are in Texas, the Census Bureau reported in March.
Since 2010, 26 counties in America have added more than 100,000 new residents; eight of those counties are in Texas, more than any other state. That growth has meant a shifting power dynamic between cities and rural communities — one the legislature wants to shift the other way.
“People have gone from a rural setting in Texas to a largely urban setting. With these rules and regulations coming out the way they are, at the local level, there truly is a patchwork quilt of rules and regulations that makes it impossible for people to live their lives, to know how they’re governed,” Abbott said. “It makes it difficult for Texas to retain its brand as a low-government, low-tax state.”
Haitian Official Who Exposed the Clinton Foundation is Found With Gun-Shot to Head
Reported by GirlsJustWannaHaveGuns.com, | Posted on July 17, 2017
URL of the original posting site: http://girlsjustwannahaveguns.com/haitian-official-exposed-clinton-foundation-found-gun-shot-head/
Miami-Dade medical examiner’s record state the official cause of death for Klaus Eberwein was a ‘gunshot to the head’. His death has since been registered as a ‘suicide’ by the government.
However, Eberwein had stated his life was in danger — not long before his ‘suicide’ — due to his actions of exposing the criminal activities of the Clinton Foundation.
According to WND: Eberwein was due to appear next Tuesday before the Haitian Senate Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission where he was widely expected to testify that the Clinton Foundation misappropriated Haiti earthquake donations from international donors.
He had served as director general of the Haitian government’s economic development agency, Fonds d’assistance économique et social, for three years.
According to Eberwein, a paltry 0.6 percent of donations granted by international donors to the Clinton Foundation with the express purpose of directly assisting Haitians actually ended up in the hands of Haitian organizations. A further 9.6 percent ended up with the Haitian government. The remaining 89.8 percent – or $5.4 billion – was funneled to non-Haitian organizations.
“The Clinton Foundation, they are criminals, they are thieves, they are liars, they are a disgrace,” Eberwein said at a protest outside the Clinton Foundation headquarters in Manhattan last year.
It was reported that Eberwien was in ‘good spirits’ with plans for the future, before the 50-year-old committed ‘suicide’.
“It’s really shocking,” said friend Gilbert Bailly. “We grew up together; he was like family.”
What do you think happened?
Also, why is it that the MSM is not reporting on this death?

Mystery solved? Timeline shows how Russian lawyer got into US for Trump Jr. meeting
Reported by 
| Published July 14, 2017 | Fox News
URL of the original posting site: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/07/14/mystery-solved-timeline-shows-how-russian-lawyer-got-into-us-for-trump-jr-meeting.html
The Russian attorney whose campaign-season meeting with Donald Trump Jr. has caused headaches for the White House was cleared to enter the U.S. at the time of the visit by the Obama State Department, officials confirmed to Fox News late Thursday.
A brief timeline released overnight helps to resolve questions over how Natalia Veselnitskaya even had legal permission to be in the U.S. And it also shows multiple Obama agencies were involved on multiple occasions in granting access to the lawyer after she was initially denied a visa.
According to the timeline released by the Department of Homeland Security, the Obama Justice and Homeland Security departments granted her a special type of “parole” to be in the U.S. from September 2015 through February 2016 to work on a court case in New York. After that expired, according to DHS, the State Department issued her a B1/B2 non-immigrant visa in June 2016, according to DHS, just in time for her meeting with Trump Jr., Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

That newly revealed meeting has revived congressional scrutiny of the campaign’s alleged coordination with Russia, since an intermediary told Trump Jr. the lawyer could have dirt on Hillary Clinton as part of the Russian government’s bid to help his dad.
While Trump Jr. has since said, in hindsight, he would have done things differently, his father on Thursday took a more defiant tone and seemed to blame the Obama administration for letting the lawyer into the country.
Her unusual entry into the U.S. has sparked a furious round of finger-pointing among federal agencies, and the buck appears to stop at the State Department, with assistance from both DOJ and DHS.
But the timeline released overnight at least clarifies how she had approval to be in the U.S., if not why.
“Ms. Veselnitskaya was subsequently paroled into the U.S. several times between 2015 and 2016, ending in February 2016. In June 2016, she was issued a B1/B2 nonimmigrant visa by the U.S. Department of State,” a DHS spokesperson told Fox News Thursday night.
DHS officials also said that it was their agency “in concurrence with the U.S. Attorney’s Office of Southern District of New York” which paroled Veselnitskaya into the U.S. Fox News confirmed through court documents that Veselnitskaya initially “applied for a visa to enter the United States, but was denied.”
Preet Bharara was the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York at the time the parole was granted.
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION LET RUSSIAN LAWYER WHO MET TRUMP JR. INTO US AFTER VISA BLOCK
Veselnitskaya was issued a “Significant Public Benefit Parole” document on Sept. 25, 2015, according to DHS, which expired on Jan. 7, 2016. Veselnitskaya requested an extension to continue her work on the case, but the Southern District of New York’s attorneys’ office denied her request.
“She was not granted a second parole by our office,” SDNY spokesman James Margolin told Fox news in an email. “Her case-related immigration parole ended early in 2016, and it was not renewed by us.”
The U.S. attorney’s office told Fox News on Thursday that Veselnitskaya was indeed granted initial parole by their office, but did not know who, specifically, issued the “piece of paper.”

“Somebody said that her visa or passport to come into the country was approved by Attorney General Lynch, now maybe that’s wrong, I just heard that a little while ago…[that] she was here because of Lynch,” Trump said at a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday in Paris.
Prior to DHS pointing fingers at the Department of State, a State spokesperson told Fox News that they had “no further information to provide.” The State Department told Fox News Wednesday that the Department is prohibited by the Immigration and Nationality Act from discussing individual visa cases, and told Fox News that all visa applications are adjudicated on a case-by-case basis.
The State Department did not respond to Fox News’ request to confirm that they issued Veselnitskaya a B1/B2 non-immigrant visa, or comment on Veselnitskaya’s current immigration status.

It is unclear as to why Veselnitskaya was denied a visa initially by the Obama State Department, and then granted one in later months. 
Acting Chief of Media Relations for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Gillian Christensen told Fox News on Thursday that a range of DHS agencies would typically deal with parole requests, but USCIS was not involved in this particular case.
The type of parole Veselnitskaya was granted is given “sparingly” and in “extraordinary circumstances,” including urgent humanitarian reasons, such as medical or family emergency. Broadly speaking, Christensen told Fox News that parole may be requested for a person who “believes his or her presence in the United States will be a significant public benefit,” and cited participation in a civil court case as an example.
“Parole allows an individual to enter the United States and remain for a temporary period corresponding to the reason parole was approved,” Christensen told Fox News. “Parole is not generally authorized for more than one year.”

Veselnitskaya was working as an attorney for a Cyprus-based
real estate holdings company called Prevezon, run by Denis Katsyv, son of Pyotr Katsyv, one of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s closest advisers, and was given “unlimited resources” by the Kremlin-connected group to run a campaign to get the Magnitsky Act repealed, Fox News reported Wednesday. The Magnitsky Act enacts sanctions on certain Russian officials as a punishment for human rights violations.

Columbia Law Professor Explains why Donald Trump Jr. did Nothing Wrong
Reported
URL of the original posting site: http://constitution.com/columbia-law-professor-explains-donald-trump-jr-nothing-wrong/
MSNBC had an interesting conversation this morning with Columbia University Law Professor Richard Briffault who told the hosts and their viewers that basically everything that Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner have been accused of is wrong. Legally, technically, wrong.
As Briffault expertly, and concisely, explains neither man is guilty of “treason,” “perjury,” giving “false statements,” or “colluding” with Russia. Based on all of the “evidence” gathered, the worst that can be said is that Jared Kushner might have lied or he might just be forgetful and Donald Trump Jr. showed bad judgment.
The MSNBC hosts were visibly saddened.
RICHARD BRIFFAULT, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL: Treason is a little extreme for this, I mean it is not clear — [Russia] may not be our friend, but it is not clear they are our enemy. We are not at war. It is not clear this violates — it is against the U.S. government. So I am not up to treason yet.
STEPHANIE RUHLE, MSNBC: So take ‘T’ off the table. What about the ‘P’? Perjury definition: ‘A person under oath states any material which he does not believe to be true.’ Would be constituted as perjury.
BRIEFAULT: Well, with the possible exception of Jared Kushner and the forms he filled out to get his security clearance, I’m not sure any of this has been under oath yet. On those, maybe it is not perjury, but there is a crime of lying to the U.S. government, but you would have to prove he was knowingly and maliciously misleading, and his claim is to say he just forgot. So we’re in a gray area there.
STEPHANIE RUHLE: So can we add in? The TIME Magazine [cover story this
week] currently has Don Jr. on the cover, but in their piece they say that in the email chain between Don Jr. and the Russian intermediary, they say ‘Kushner maintains he did not read to the bottom of the email invitation to the meeting, so he didn’t understand the Russian promise it contained, that was on the fourth page. And yet, the subject line says ‘Russia, Clinton Private and Confidential.’ Does that argument that he didn’t scroll down hold any water?
BRIFFAULT: Is is irrelevant. The thing was that he was at the meeting and he didn’t report having been at the meeting –as I understand it– in his intial filing to get the security clearance.
So, at the very least, he has corrected that, but there is some question about how knowing that was. So, perjury no, lying to the government maybe.
ALI VELSHI, MSNBC: We have another one: False statements. This is about a person knowingly and willfully making any materially false statement or
representation within any of the three branches of government. This is obviously a lower standard, but does this apply here?
BRIFFAULT: This relates to the filing for the security clearance. It is a simlar kind of question. It was a false statement. Did he know it was false, or did he just forget? And it has been corrected. It may still affect whether he should have a security clearance. But it is not quite up to the level of a crime.
OK. Did you get all of that? Basically Donald Trump Jr. did nothing that was “actionably” wrong. Ali Velshi tries one more time and asks Professor Briffault about collusion, and Briffault crushes Velshi’s liberal dreams…
BRIFFAULT: Collusion isn’t really a crime, I think we are getting at things like ‘conspiracy to commit a crime,’ or coordination of campaign finance stuff. Collusion is more of a political term than a legal term.

Trump’s Border Wall Gets Full Funding with $1.6BIL Price-Tag
Posted by GirlsJustWannaHaveGuns.com | July 13, 2017
URL of the original posting site: http://girlsjustwannahaveguns.com/trumps-border-wall-gets-full-funding-1-6bil-price-tag/
President Trump, right before leaving for Paris, tweeted out one message that should have many Americans cheering.
DJT: Big WIN today for building the wall. It will secure the border & save lives. Now the full House & Senate must act! http://45.wh.gov/5L8g1q
This of course didn’t see much light of day, because the MSM is so focused on another non-Russian collusion story.
This House spending bill is raising some eyebrows though.
It is fully funding Trump’s US/Mexico wall, with the initial $1.6 billion; which is part of the fiscal 2018 Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill.
The plan was released Tuesday by the House Appropriations Committee and a subcommittee moved the plan forward on Wednesday.
But here is where the shock comes in…
While the plan makes good on one of Trump’s top campaign promises in 2016, it also moves away from another pledge he made on the trail: Mexico will pay for the border wall. But Trump has more recently said the U.S. will pay first and Mexico will reimburse, or fund in other ways.
House Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee Chairman John Carter praised the bill.
“Keeping Americans safe by protecting our homeland is a top priority. This funding bill provides the resources to begin building a wall along our southern border, enhance our existing border security infrastructure, hire more border patrol agents, and fund detention operations,” he said.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesman David Lapan said that the new money will go a long way for starting the border wall. “On the DHS side it’s clear that we’ve gotten a direction to secure the southern border, that a wall and barrier is part of that process along with people and technology and that funding from Congress is required for us to move forward on that,” he said.
“In total, the bill allocates $13.8 billion to customs and border protection. That includes the $1.6 billion for the wall, $100 million to hire 500 more Border Patrol agents, $131 million for new border technology, $106 million for aircraft and sensors and $109 million for ‘non-intrusive inspection equipment,’ ” The Hill reported.
Shariah Law Enforcement Employs Terrifying Tactics in Refugee-Rocked Germany
Reported
URL of the original posting site: http://constitution.com/shariah-law-enforcement-employs-terrifying-tactics-in-refugee-rocked-germany/
The spread of radical Islam throughout Europe has been one of the continent’s most grave threats to sovereignty in recent years.
First and foremost, the exploitation of the Syrian refugee crisis has led to a massive campaign by ISIS and other Islamic terrorist regimes to spread their operatives throughout the content. Thanks to the relaxed border policies installed by the European Union, this is a feat far simpler than anyone could imagine. There is, however, another grave threat to the freedom of Europe emerging these days, and the United States would be wise to exercise caution in its midst.
“Islamist gangs are using violence and intimidation to enforce Shariah law in parts of Germany, particularly against Chechen and Chechen-origin women in Berlin, according to reports.
“Der Taggespiegel reports that a threatening video of an armed man in a hood has been circulating in the Chechen community since March 2017 through the WhatsApp messaging service.
“’Here, in Europe, certain Chechen women and men who look like women do unspeakable things. You know it; I know it; everybody knows it,’ declares the pistol-waving fanatic.
“'[Chechen women] who flirt with men of other ethnic groups and marry them, Chechen women who have chosen the wrong path and those [creatures] who call themselves Chechen men – given half a chance, we will set all of them straight.’
“’Having sworn on the Quran, we go out onto the streets. This is our declaration of intent; do not say that you were not warned; do not say that you did not know.’”
The mass influx of Muslim refugees to Europe has created an epidemic of radicalization throughout the continent.
While terrorism still tops the list of Islamic concerns around the globe, Shariah law’s widespread implementation has been a close second. Devout Muslims have overwhelmingly regarded this religious rule as superior to the laws of man, creating quite the cultural conundrum in locales where it is allowed to flourish. Unfortunately, the Syrian refugee crisis has created a safe harbor for Shariah fundamentalists throughout Europe, with collateral “no-go zones” popping up throughout the continent. In these areas, sovereign citizens are increasingly being subjected to the religious discrimination inherent in Shariah, creating an environment in which European culture has become thoroughly disregarded.
Senate Republicans unveil revised healthcare bill
Reported By Peter Sullivan – 07/13/17 12:10 PM EDT
URL of the original posting site: http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/341872-senate-republicans-unveil-revised-healthcare-bill
Senate Republican leaders on Thursday unveiled a revised version of their bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare as they race toward a high-stakes vote next week. The measure includes changes intended to win over additional votes, with leadership making concessions aimed at bringing both conservatives and moderates on board. (READ THE BILL HERE.)
But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is facing a tough task in finding enough votes to pass the bill. Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) appear to be firmly against the measure, and one other defection would kill the bill. Overall, McConnell appears to have shifted the revised bill more toward the conservatives than the moderates.
Importantly, the bill largely keeps the Medicaid sections the same, meaning that deeper cuts to the program will still begin in 2025, and the funds for ObamaCare’s expansion of Medicaid will still end in 2024. The changes to Medicaid have emerged as a top concern for moderates such as Sens. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska).
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found that those Medicaid changes in the original bill would result in 15 million fewer people being enrolled in the program and cut spending by $772 billion over 10 years.
Collins said she still plans to vote against a motion to proceed to the bill, adding that the legislation should move through the normal committee process.
“My strong inclination and current intention is to vote no on the motion to proceed,” Collins told reporters after leaving a briefing on the legislation.
“The only way I’d change my mind is if there’s something in the new bill that wasn’t discussed or that I didn’t fully understand or the CBO estimate comes out and says they fixed the Medicaid cuts, which I don’t think that’s going to happen.”
For the conservatives, the measure includes a version of an amendment from Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) aimed at allowing insurers to offer plans that do not meet all of ObamaCare’s regulations, including those protecting people with pre-existing conditions and mandating that plans cover certain services, such as maternity care and mental healthcare.
Conservatives argue the change would allow healthier people to buy cheaper plans, but moderates and many healthcare experts warn that premiums would spike for the sick people remaining in the more generous insurance plans.
Cruz said he will support the bill so long as the provisions he sees as a priority are not changed in amendment votes on the floor.
“If this is the bill, I will support this bill,” Cruz told reporters after a meeting of GOP senators. “Now, if it’s amended and we lose the protections that lower premiums, my view could well change.”
Senate Republicans had vowed to not change the ObamaCare protections for people from being charged more based on their health in their bill, which is why the debate over the Cruz-Lee amendment has been heated. A Senate GOP aide said Thursday it is possible that the Cruz amendment would not be analyzed by the CBO in time for the vote next week. It is possible the Department of Health and Human Services could provide an alternative analysis.
Lee cautioned that he was not involved in the changes to the proposal, including the amendment, and would have to review the new language before deciding whether to support it. The bill does include new funding, $70 billion over seven years, aimed at easing costs for those sick people remaining in the ObamaCare plans.
However, the new measure does not boost the generosity of the tax credits, as some moderates wanted. It still replaces ObamaCare’s tax credits to help people afford insurance with a smaller, scaled-down tax credit that provides less assistance.
The Kaiser Family Foundation found premium costs would increase an average of 74 percent for the most popular healthcare plan, given the reduced assistance in the GOP bill.
The new measure will leave in place two ObamaCare taxes on the wealthy, in a departure from the initial bill.
That original measure lacked the support to pass, as more moderate members pointed to the CBO’s finding that 22 million fewer people would have insurance over a decade.
Senate Republicans are now awaiting a new score of the revised legislation from the CBO, which could come early next week.
The new bill does include $45 billion to fight opioid addiction, but moderates such as Capito and Portman who hail from states where the problem is rampant have said they also want changes to the Medicaid portion of the legislation.
Portman said his position on the bill had not changed, but he did not give a clear answer on whether he’d back his party on the procedural vote.
“I’m the same position I’ve been in. I’m looking at the language,” he said.
Capito also said she doesn’t know whether she’ll vote to proceed to the bill.
“We have another meeting this afternoon on the Medicaid cuts,” she told reporters. “I need to really look at it, look at the score; I still have concerns.”
Asked if she would vote for the motion to proceed next week, she said, “Wait and see.”
In a change that could appeal to Murkowski, the bill sets aside 1 percent of the stability funds for states with costs that are 75 percent above the national average, which would benefit high-cost states like Alaska.

New GOP healthcare bill includes version of Cruz amendment
Reported By Peter Sullivan – 07/13/17 10:05 AM EDT
URL of the original posting site: http://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/341828-new-gop-healthcare-bill-includes-version-of-cruz-amendment
The revised healthcare bill that Senate Republicans are unveiling Thursday will include a version of a controversial amendment from Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) that has become a sticking point in the negotiations. The amendment would allow insurers to sell plans that do not meet ObamaCare regulations if they also sell a plan that does meet those rules.
But in a nod to centrists worried that the GOP bill could cause too many people to lose coverage, it would add extra funding to try to compensate for higher costs for sick people, sources say.
ADVERTISEMENT
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) almost certainly needs Cruz and Lee to back the GOP bill for it to pass the Senate.He is likely to lose votes from Republican Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.) and Susan Collins (Maine), which would mean he could not afford another defection and still have Vice President Pence break a 50-50 tie.
A number of centrist GOP votes are also in doubt, however, and accommodating their concerns while winning over Lee and Cruz is a tricky maneuver. A source familiar with the revised bill said it will include funding specifically intended to help offset the costs for the sick people remaining in the ObamaCare plans in a bid to keep centrist Republicans on board.
In addition, the Cruz–Lee amendment language in the bill is expected to be in brackets, which is an indication that it is subject to change or removal.
Conn Carroll, a spokesman for Lee, said Lee was not a party to the revised amendment text being included in the bill and has “no idea” what it says. Lee will not know if he can vote for the motion to proceed to the bill until he reads the text, Carroll said.
A person briefed on the Cruz language says it would place people who buy qualified health plans and plans free from federal regulations into “a single pool,” referring to a unified risk pool. This could limit how much the reform would reduce the costs for people who buy the bare-bones plans.
Aside from the amendment and the funding boost, the revised bill is not expected to be drastically different from what was released last month.
Importantly, the new bill contains the same changes to Medicaid, a blow to moderates who had pushed for easing the cuts to the program.
The bill does include provisions to exempt Medicaid spending during public health emergencies from a new cap on Medicaid payments, according to a summary obtained by The Hill. It also allows states to apply for a waiver for home-based services for aged, blind and disabled people.
The bill will also not repeal two ObamaCare taxes on the wealthy or a tax on health insurance executives’ pay.
The measure adds $70 billion to the $112 billion already in the measure in the “stability fund” aimed at bringing down premiums. It also adds $45 billion to fight opioid addiction.
It is unclear whether the language will satisfy conservatives, or how much it will end up angering moderates. Moderates have been pushing back on the Cruz–Lee amendment, worried about spiking costs for people with pre-existing conditions.
Critics argue the Cruz–Lee proposal would result in skyrocketing costs for sick people remaining in the ObamaCare plans as healthy people switch to skimpier, cheaper plans.

This Weeks Ann Coulter Letter: GOP Rallies Behind Idiotic Bill
Commentary by Ann Coulter |
Republicans are about to do something very stupid. Using bribery, threats and cajolery, they intend to pass a catastrophically unpopular bill on a party-line vote.
GOP: Obamacare is unpopular, so let’s pass a new health care bill
that’s even MORE unpopular.
Normal Person: Why would you do that?
GOP: No, you don’t understand. Obamacare is totally imploding, so if we pass this bill now, all its problems will be blamed on us!
Republicans would be better off doing nothing. They can survive the ridicule for running against Obamacare through four election cycles and then not repealing it. They cannot survive a bill that does nothing to fix the actual problems with Obamacare.
The only explanation for the GOP doing something so stupid and unpopular is that it’s all about tax cuts.
Why can’t we get it through their heads that we didn’t elect Trump to cut taxes? Forty-five percent of people don’t pay any federal income tax — and they voted for Trump! Taxes on high earners (or “Hillary voters”) are at a historic low.
Here’s a somewhat more important issue I’d like to submit for Republicans’ consideration: PEOPLE CAN’T BUY HEALTH INSURANCE THEY WANT, CAN’T SEE THE DOCTORS THEY WANT AND CAN’T AFFORD THEIR PREMIUMS AND DEDUCTIBLES.
How about allowing people the option of buying insurance that doesn’t cover sex change operations, gambling addictions, psychotherapy, liver transplants for illegal aliens and so on?
Instead of squandering this moment, Trump the businessman should seize it to trumpet the free market. This is a golden opportunity to give a speech explaining why, contrary to everything your professors told you, communism doesn’t work.
Liberals always promise us wondrous cost-saving government programs, and then, it turns out, none of the laws of physics support their exciting plans. Obamacare is crashing and burning — and Trump hasn’t done a thing to anyone’s health care. He can say, perfectly accurately, he was just standing there when the plane hit the ground.
To paraphrase Talleyrand, what Republicans are doing with Obamacare is worse than a crime; it’s a mistake.
What sets us apart from the rest of the world is freedom — free people, free markets, free minds. That is how America became the most prosperous nation in the world. There’s no genius that can compete with the genius of the free market.
Sentient adults are perfectly capable of making their own choices about what health insurance to buy, the same way they make choices about what food to buy. The whole key to fixing Obamacare is not to repeal it, but to allow the rest of us to buy insurance on the free market.
Right now, it’s illegal to sell an insurance plan that most people would like to buy. Instead, you have to buy plans that cover millions of things you don’t want and nothing that you do want — all in order to pay for other people’s health care.
It would be as if grocery stores were required to charge you $60 for a head of lettuce in order to fund the federal school lunch program.
It is a blood libel to say we don’t care about the old, sick and dispossessed.
Everyone has plenty of food in America, even without $60 heads of lettuce. That’s the free market! As Trump said, we will care for them better than they’ve ever been cared for before. But, first, the welfare cases have to be separated from the free market.
Proposed law: “Notwithstanding any other provision of federal or state law, it shall be lawful to purchase or sell any health insurance product in the United States of America.”
Skip the repeal — so there’s nothing for leftist ruffians to protest — and just give the rest of us the option of escaping Obamacare to buy health insurance the same way we buy everything else. Only a free market can guarantee good products at good prices.
Trump used to understand this! In the very first GOP debate, he said, “What I’d like to see is a private system without the artificial lines around every state. … Get rid of the artificial lines and you will have yourself great plans. And then we have to take care of the people that can’t take care of themselves. And I will do that through a different system.”
The “lines around the states” were the 50 state insurance commissions determining which health plans could legally be sold in each state — mandating, for example, that every plan include coverage for acupuncturists, chiropractors, fertility treatments, speech pathologists and so on.
Instead of throwing off the shackles of these commissions and giving us a nationwide free market in health insurance, Obamacare imposed one enormous federal shackle.
As a result, “health insurance” under Obamacare isn’t insurance at all — it’s the government forcing us to pay for other people’s health care through ghastly insurance premiums, deductibles and co-pays in exchange for highly limited health insurance for ourselves.
Trump ought to be using the flaming wreckage of Obamacare to illustrate what’s wrong with all Soviet five-year plans. It could be as iconic as Reagan’s Berlin Wall speech. Teenagers would vote Republican for the next 70 years — 80 or 90 years, if they could finally buy decent health insurance.

Fake News Explained So Clearly That Even Don Lemon Could Understand It
Published by ClashDaily.com | July 12, 2017
URL of the original posting site: http://clashdaily.com/2017/07/fake-news-explained-clearly-even-don-lemon-understand/
CNN and their media accomplices HATE all this talk about ‘fake news’. They claim it’s anti-journalism. (Considering their ‘commitment to journalistic ethics‘ that is ‘adorable’.)
CNN has a curious pattern of ‘tech issues’ when the topic of ‘fake news’ comes up on air. Don Lemon has even been known to end interviews completely for even mentioning it.
But if CNN and the Media (D) have any intention of saving their credibility — and credibility IS their product — they must first come face-to-face with the problem.
This is a top-notch breakdown of what we mean by ‘fake news’ and why we mean it.
Will the networks ever beat their addiction to Fake News? That depends whether they can admit their problem.
This Linguist’s Study of Trump’s Speech Will Drive The Media (D) Crazy

‘And we’re not used to hearing that from politicians.’
Trump is the Anti-Obama in a lot of ways. And one of them is his speech itself.
You will remember how the Left’s Golden Boy was celebrated as practically the second coming of Cicero. Obama was supposed to be a magnificent Public speaker. (We’ll add an example of his vaunted ‘magnificence’ at the end of this piece, for anyone who still believes in his ‘greatness’.)
What did the linguist discover? She discovered something the rest of us intuitively knew. He’s NOT from the typical Washington mold. He doesn’t put on airs like regular politicians. He speaks like one of US.
He’s refreshing.
He was mocked for the simplicity of his language and syntax. Or his blue-collar vocabulary. Or his abrupt of jumping of topics, as though he was incoherent.
Nope. That’s the way we all speak.
What about hyperbole? She talks about that, too. ‘Believe me.’ (Also discussed.)
Trump says ‘believe me’ in the way she describes, which is WAY better than Obama, who says ‘let me be clear’ immediately before he lies to your face.
The media can mock him all they want. I’d take Trump over former President Obama any day:
If you think the ‘if’ is exaggerated in the song, go see the original. Yep. It’s real
Drunk Illegal Who Caused Deadly Crash Snuck into US 7 Times
Posted by GirlsJustWannaHaveGuns.com | July 12, 2017
URL of the original posting site: http://girlsjustwannahaveguns.com/drunk-illegal-caused-deadly-crash-snuck-us-7-times/
Here is one reason why Trump needs to put his wall up on the US/Mexico border.
An illegal immigrant was driving drunk, speeding at 100mph, on a Nebraska highway when he crashed the vehicle, killing a passenger and sending another to the hospital.
Nemias Garcia-Velasco, 32, was deported in 2009 and 2011 and “voluntarily returned” to Mexico five times in 2005, Douglas County prosecutors stated in court.
Back in 2005 he was convicted of making a false claim to US citizenship.
Now, someone is dead because this thug found his way back into our country.
Nemias reportedly drank 12 beers the night before and continued into the morning of the crash. He blew a .243, which is three times the blood-alcohol legal limit of .08.
When he was speeding down the interstate in Omaha, Nemias lost control of his van – a 2001 Dodge Ram – and slammed it into a guard rail. Then the vehicle rolled over and burst into flames, officials stated.
The illegal’s bail was set to $2MIL, which Prosecutor Ryan Lindberg enforced because of fear the man might flee the country again.
“If this is someone who bonds out, I don’t think we’ll see Mr. Garcia-Velasco again,” Lindberg said.
Garcia-Velasco was treated for severe burns, released and booked into jail. He was charged with motor vehicle homicide, driving under the influence and operating without a driver’s license, KETV reported. He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
Prayers For Trump! Group of Pastors form Prayer Circle with President in the Oval
Posted by GirlsJustWannaHaveGuns.com | July 12, 2017

This is a moment you wouldn’t catch Barack Obama in.
A group of evangelical leaders were allowed into the oval office to form a prayer circle with the president and vice president. They laid their hands on President Trump’s back during the prayer.
Photos from the moment show Trump and Pence closing their eyes and bowing their heads.
Evangelical pastor Rodney Howard-Browne led a prayer circle alongside his wife Adonica in the White House and then shared the image on Facebook.
The group were invited to pray with Trump during a meeting with members of The Office of Public Liaison.
Others pictured included Jack Graham, the pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, and Michele Bachmann, the former Republican congresswoman from Minnesota.
Mr. Howard-Browne, who is from South Africa but came to America in 1987 after a ‘calling from God’, described the moment as ‘surreal’ and ‘humbling’.
He wrote: ‘Yesterday I was asked by Pastor Paula White-Cain to pray over our 45th President – what a humbling moment standing in the Oval Office – laying hands and praying for our President – Supernatural Wisdom, Guidance and Protection – who could ever even imagine – wow – we are going to see another great spiritual awakening.
Johnnie Moore, a former senior vice president at Liberty University, a large evangelical university in Virginia, was also at the meeting.
He told CNN that they used to also pray with Obama, but with Trump it is different.
‘When we are praying for President Trump, we are praying within the context of a real relationship, of true friendship,’ he said.
‘He was also in good spirits,’ Moore said. ‘He was as strong and focused as I have ever seen him. It was as if he was entirely above the fray.’
