The Merchants of Venom

The Merchants of Venom
Have you listened to the “news” broadcasts of CNN or MSNBC lately?  Almost 100% of the air time on those stations is devoted to anti-Trump and anti-Republican bashing, it’s like no other news is happening in our country and around the world.  You could, in all honesty, call those media outlets, “Merchants of Venom”.

Iran’s ‘moderate’ leader calls Israel ‘a cancerous tumor’


We are extremely fortunate at this time to have a moderate leader as president of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Can you imagine what would happen if some hard line goon like former President Mahmoud Amadinejad was in charge? Both the US and Israel would be threatened with annilhation, the people of Iran would be subject to the draconian religious laws in the Iranian constitution, and Iran would be looking to expand its influence throughout the region.


But, thankfully, we are truly blessed that the moderate leader, Hassan Rouhani is president.



Oh…wait.


Fox News:


Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Saturday called on the world’s Muslims to unite against the United States, as his country grapples with another round of sanctions recently reimposed by the Trump administration.


“Submitting to the West headed by America would be treason against our religion … and against the future generations of this region,” Rouhani said at the Islamic Unity Conference in Tehran, in a speech broadcast live on state television, Reuters reported.


Earlier this month, Trump reimposed sanctions on Iran that cover the country’s shipping, financial and energy sectors months after pulling the U.S. out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal negotiated by the Obama administration.


The U.S. has said the sanctions are intended to prevent Iran from supporting militant groups and its development of long-range ballistic missiles.


In addition to the U.S., Rouhani also criticized Israel, calling it a “cancerous tumor” established by Western nations to advance their interests in the Middle East. Iranian leaders have pledged support to groups like Hezbollah and Hamas that are committed to Israel’s destruction.


I suppose it’s “moderate” that Rouhani wants to kill Jews a little more slowly than his predecessor. There is also talk of Rouhani being in favor of modernizing the severe dress code in the country. Perhaps he will allow women to show their ankles.


And the “moderate” Rouhani is reportedly ending the practice of throwing gay people off of roofs and instead, simply hanging them from piano wire in the public square. I’m sure you’ll agree that’s a much more “moderate” and humane way to deal with homosexuals.


How did this Iranian thug get the moniker “moderate”? He still leads chants of “death to America” every Friday after mosque services. He still wants to destroy Israel. He still believes in the strictest interpretation of sharia law. And he still has the messianic belief that Iran should dominate the region.


Repeat after me: There is no such thing as a “moderate” Iranian leader.

“It’s NOT OK To Be White” Says University Of Manitoba – “Reject White Interests”


“It’s NOT OK To Be White” Says University Of Manitoba – “Reject White Interests”


by Brock Simmons
November 24, 2018

Predictably, the “It’s ok to be white” poster movement has baited wacked out racist liberals into proclaiming exactly what the 4 Chan set them up to screech: It’s NOT ok to be white.

The latest covfefe is courtesy of University of Manitoba. They recently published an op-ed in the student paper titled, well, “It’s Not Ok To Be White,” where the author, , claims “The white race is not founded in biology” but Rather, white identity is exclusively used as a means of obtaining an advantage over another group.” Singleton cites a “white studies historian,” David Roediger, who says “It is not merely that whiteness is oppressive and false; it is that whiteness is nothing but oppressive and false.”

It’s only racist when white people promote themselves and not racist when others do because “Those who defend advancing white interests point to people of colour who have organized politically to advance their identity’s interests. When people of colour have propagated their identity interests, it is always done to achieve economic and social liberation on par with white people. When Black people organized Black Lives Matter, whether in Toronto or Baltimore, it was to achieve the same treatment by the police and the state that white people receive.

In response, the white identitarians proclaimed “All Lives Matter.” They rejected the call for equality by denying the specificity of the issue. It was a cloaked slogan to enshrine the status quo. It was whiteness in action.”

Singleton refers to literally communist activists as proud “race traitors” and encourages white people to “betray their race” because white people are evidently responsible for “wage labour slavery.”

He goes on to say “Whiteness is maintained partly by white people’s apathy toward the destructive force of whiteness. Often, it almost seems as though the bulk of white people are entirely unaware of their racial interests — although they are universally and perpetually asserted. But white people erupt the moment white identity is challenged.”

Singleton praises the violence of antifa with “Today the modern John Browns are antifa who seek to violently confront those who most explicitly articulate white dominance through capitalism and governmental policies. The current debate among white liberals is who is worse, the anti-fascists or the merchants of white pride. In constructing an equivalence between the two, these white liberals attempt to point to a middle road as the way forward. This road is also known as the status quo.”

After saying “Abolishing whiteness means at once extending all the privileges of whiteness to all people and destroying every institution perpetuating the identity,” Jacob Singleton ends his piece by stating “Whiteness must be abolished. It must be betrayed. It must, at long last, die.”

Just last week we reported on the triggered liberals in Portland who are offended by the “It’s ok to be white” posters being put up in their neighborhoods.

Colleges across the country are having crying sessions for offended students staff over similar posters. We’d expect that at UC Davis, but even Utah is getting in on the action. Students also flipped out at Michigan State University. One professor even says that it’s not ok for his kids to be friends with white kids, while also parroting the “it’s not ok to be white” phrase. You may recall that a community college in Portland dedicated an entire month to “whiteness history” back in 2016.

Liberal Media Propagandists Keep Pushing Doom and Gloom in the Markets While Ignoring Historically Strong Economy


Liberal Media Propagandists Keep Pushing Doom and Gloom in the Markets While Ignoring Historically Strong Economy

patriotic eagle taking wing in front of US flag

In the two years since the 2016 Presidential election, the US economy is on fire.  Yet every step of the way, the far-left liberal MSM has ignored and derided the economic success of President Donald J. Trump.  Today is no exception.

The US stock market is a barometer of economic activity and since President Trump was elected the markets have skyrocketed.

The stock market on Wednesday, January 17th, 2018, said it all. On that day the Dow broke 26,000 points for the first time in its history. As a result the Dow broke the record for the fastest 500, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 6,000 and 7,000 point increases between major milestones in the history of the Dow. All of these increases occurred since Donald Trump was elected President.

After President Trump was elected the DOW exploded. On November 8th, 2016, the DOW stood at 18,332. Since that date the DOW has soared and it never looked back.

Not only has the DOW skyrocketed since Donald Trump was elected President, the market’s rise is record breaking. Since the 2016 election, the DOW has closed at new record all-time highs 103 times! (President Obama never saw a new all-time high in the DOW his entire first term and only saw 105 all-time closing highs from his first election win until Trump’s.)

President Trump’s first year in office (2017) saw the most all-time stock market closing highs (71) as well as the largest increase in DOW history (4,956 points). Prior to 2017, no year in the DOW’s more than 100-year history ever saw the DOW increase by more than 3,500 points, let alone 4,900. The most all-time highs in a year prior to 2017 was 69 in 1995.

Since President Trump was elected President the DOW tied the record for the most consecutive all-time closing highs in a row. In January of 1987 President Reagan saw the DOW increase to new all-time highs a record 12 days in a row. In February of 2017, President Trump matched Reagan’s record.

The DOW today stands at nearly 32% up from where it was in November of 2016, the day of the election!

But today because of the recent downturns in the markets since October 3rd after the Fed announced more interest rates hikes, the MSM is all gloom and doom.

It’s clear that the Fed overstepped its mandate and killed the stock market with their interest rate threats.  There are no signs of inflation and commodities are steady and yet the Fed wants to continue to increase rates, something it never did under Obama’s Presidency.  The Fed gave Obama zero rates for seven years and then only a quarter rate increase in 2015, his last year.  Under President Trump the Fed has increased rates seven times since his election.

The markets are taking notice of the Fed’s efforts to kill the economy by increasing interest rates.  These efforts and reactions are causing the markets to be out of sync with reality and the solid economy.

The truth is the economy is in its best shape maybe ever.  The stock markets as of Friday are still up nearly a third (32%) since the election.

President Trump’s economy reached a GDP of 4.2% in the 2nd quarter of 2018 and 3.5% in the 3rd quarter. With a GDP in the 4th quarter near 3%, the GDP for the year will be greater than 3%. Something the prior President Obama never did and said no longer could be done.

President Trump has managed to increase GDP and slow of debt increases, thereby decreasing the debt to GDP ratio in the 2 years since the 2016 election. This is a very good result that is rarely if ever mentioned by the MSM.  President Trump has done this in spite of headwinds from the Fed.

President Trump is the ‘Jobs President’.  The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 250,000 new jobs were created in October. In President Trump’s first two years since elected President, the US has gained over 4.3 million jobs. (In President Obama’s first two years the US lost over (4.2) million jobs.) More people are working in the US than ever before and unemployment is at 50 year lows landing at 3.7% last month.

The President’s tax plan passed in late December 2017 is greatly benefiting Americans and American companies. Employees will see increases in their income tax refunds next year due to the lower Federal taxes.

Millions of Americans received bonuses due to the tax cuts and major companies announced plans to move capital and operations to the US due to these cuts. On top of income tax refund increases, Americans also are benefiting from the highest wage increases in a decade.

The MSM is all doom and gloom.  Day after day while the economy and stock markets increased, the MSM repeatedly claimed the end was near.  This is not true and they knew it.

The economy is growing and the world is safer. President Trump kept his promises and is doing all he can to Make America Great Again!

Illegal Alien Who Sought Refuge In North Carolina Church Is Detained After Stepping Out For Meeting With ICE

Adios, amigo.

A Mexican father who sought refuge from deportation in a North Carolina church for more than 11 months was detained Friday as he attended a scheduled appointment with immigration officials in order to stay in the US with his wife and son.

Samuel Oliver-Bruno, 47, was detained by plain clothes officers at a Raleigh-area immigration office, prompting dozens of supporters to block a law enforcement van with him inside and wind up under arrest themselves.

One of the people taken into custody was the church’s own Pastor Cleve May and another was his 19-year-old son, Daniel Oliver-Perez.

Oliver-Bruno’s son, Oliver-Perez – a US Citizen – was arrested as part of the group trying to stop his father from being taken away, WTVD reported.

He faces charges of assaulting a government official.

Those arrested will go before a magistrate.

Advocacy group Alerta Migratoria NC said in a statement that Oliver-Bruno went to have fingerprints taken so he could apply to stay in North Carolina with his family who had recently received threats from Veracruz where drug cartels are active.

His situation was highly publicized in a press conference December 13, 2017 when he began living in CityWell United Methodist Church in Durham to avoid immigration officers.

They generally avoid making arrests at churches, schools and hospitals, allowing Oliver-Bruno to remain in the country longer after already spending two decades with out the required legal documents.

ICE said Oliver-Bruno – who will go to a detention center – was arrested as part of a ‘targeted enforcement action’. He moved to the US in 1994.

‘Mr Oliver-Bruno is a convicted criminal who has received all appropriate legal process under federal law, has no outstanding appeals, and has no legal basis to remain in the US,’ Bryan Cox, ICE director of communications for the southern region, told ABC News.

Oliver-Bruno pleaded guilty in 2014 to using false documents to try to re-enter the US in El Paso, Texas after a trip abroad, according to court documents. He was returning to be with his wife Julia, who entered the country on a work permit in 1996 and was to undergo open heart surgery.

Virginia City That Gave Millions To Amazon Now Hassling Restaurant Over Mural


If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like if a city or county government were more like a Home Owner’s Association, look no further than Arlington, VA. Apparently, it’s okay for a city to give hundreds of millions of dollars to a giant corporation and give them cover in case anyone goes snooping into their affairs, but God forbid a restaurant in that city paint a mural on its wall.

Goody’s pizzeria in Clarendon (which is part of Arlington County), tried to attract new customers to its humble storefront by painting images of food and ingredients on its outside walls. But the restaurant didn’t get the necessary county approval before painting the mural, and was issued a warning by Arlington’s Department of Community Planning, Housing and Development.

A spokeswoman for the Department, Helen Duong, told Arlington news outlet ARLnow that zoning inspectors “concluded that the artwork is considered a sign under Arlington County’s zoning ordinance because the artwork relates to the advertisement of a business and its services.”

This means, according to ARLnow, that Goody’s had to get a permit before painting the mural. Duong told the outlet that the restaurant “did not receive prior approvals from the county.” She also said the County has so far only issued the restaurant a “courtesy notice” about the mural, which included how Goody’s could square itself with Arlington officials (which no doubt include some form of payment to the County).

Arlnow spoke to Glenda Alvarez, who owns Goody’s. Alvarez says, as of Nov. 20, that she had not sought county approval for the mural yet and did not know she needed a permit before adding the mural. She said she commissioned the painting because the outside of her restaurant “was not attractive enough.”

“We just wanted to get a little more attention from people walking by,” she said.

Arlington has previously gone after Wag More Dogs, a dog daycare that painted a mural of puppies chasing bones on the side of its wall back in 2010. As with Goody’s, Wag More Dogs was found to have violated Arlington’s onerous “sign” requirements because the dogs were considered an advertisement for the business. A self-service dog wash across the street was allowed to keep commissioned graffiti on its walls because it did not contain any references to dogs.

At the time, ARLnow reported that the board responsible for the rules had taken steps to loosen the sign restrictions. Eight years later, it appears those steps led to nothing.

All of this over some paintings. You may recall the Virginia government recently promised online retail giant Amazon $573 million (including $23 million raised through increased taxes in Arlington) and promised to alert the company if someone filed a Freedom of Information Act request over its business practices to give it time to file a protective order to stop that information from being obtained.

Maybe the city won’t be so kind to Amazon if it paints pictures of household products on its outside walls without a permit.

Parents Called Racist After Pointing Out 30-Year-Old Man Is Not High School Age


When a “teenager” from Iran joined students at Stoke High School in Ipswich (a county town of Suffolk, England), students and parents immediately noticed something was off.

The alleged 15-year-old boy, Siavash, was 6’1”, stubble, a large Adam’s apple, and a hairline that some viewed as receding. Students and parents believed the “teen” was closer to 30 than 15.

When parents began complaining that an adult man was in school with their underage children, they say their concerns were “dismissed as racist,” according to the Daily Mail.

“I went in [to] complain but I was fobbed off. They are deluded and seem more worried about how the bloke might feel,” a father of two teenage students told the Mail. “I am not aware of this lad having done anything inappropriate, but it’s clearly wrong that he should be in a class with children.”

Another parent said she was told the man sat on a bench during lunch near teenage girls, “just looking.”

One student said Siavash started FaceTiming a female student, “sending her messages, asking how close she lived to the school.” The student took the messages to school officials but was told there was nothing wrong with them, according to the Mail.

It turns out, Siavash actually was an adult, and was removed from the school. He had told the school he fled from Iran and came to the United Kingdom with his little brother, who authorities believe actually is 12 years old. Siavash was seeking a free education while posing as a teenager.

As the Mail points out, Siavash benefited from Britain’s generous asylum system, which has been found to be abused by those seeking a free education by posing as minors.

“Britain’s system, under which around 3,000 unaccompanied youngsters – around 80 per cent of whom are male – claim asylum each year, came under intense scrutiny in 2016 when a busload of alleged teenagers arrived in Croydon after being transferred to the UK from Calais.

By claiming to be children, the new arrivals were entitled not just to free education, but also to places in local authority children’s homes (in areas with high migrant populations such as Kent, up to half the places in such homes are taken by unaccompanied asylum seekers).

Yet critics have long pointed out that those rules also create an incentive for adult migrants to simply destroy ID papers and pose as vulnerable children. Indeed, several of the young men who disembarked from the coaches in Croydon appeared to be square-jawed men in their 20s or 30s.”

After this controversy, the asylum rules were tightened, and in the following year, 705 age disputes were raised. Sixty-five percent of the 618 resolved disputes found claimants over the age of 18 (who were mostly male) pretending to be children. Those handline asylum claims are now told to treat seekers who appear to be adults as adults if they lack reliable documentation, though when they are unsure, they are supposed to give the seekers the benefit of the doubt.

3,000-Year-Old Stone Weight Inscribed in Hebrew Found Near Western Wall


TEL AVIV – An extremely rare stone weight inscribed with a word from the Hebrew Bible dating back 3,000 years was discovered by archaeologists near the Western Wall.

The weight, known as a “beka,” was used to measure worshipers’ half-shekel levy prior to ascending the Temple Mount. This was the first time such a stone weight was found with this particular inscription of the word “beka” written from left to right.

“Beka weights from the First Temple period are rare; however, this weight is even rarer because the inscription on it is written in mirror script,” archaeologist Eli Shukron told Haaretz.

Shukron said this is likely a sign that it was made by a seal-maker, “since seals were always written in mirror script so that, once stamped, the inscription would appear in regular legible script.”

“Apparently, the seal craftsman got confused when he engraved the inscription on the weight and mistakenly used mirror script as he was used to doing. From this mistake we can learn about the general rule: the artists who engraved weights during the First Temple period were the same artists who specialized in creating seals,” said Shukron.

The word “beka” makes two appearances in the Bible. The first instance is when the matriarch Rebecca is gifted a nose-ring weighing a “beka” in the Book of Genesis. The second occurs in the Book of Exodus as a weight for the Temple donation: “One beka per head; half a shekel, according to the holy shekel, for each one who goes through the counting, from 20 years old and upward, for 603,550 [persons].”

“When the half-shekel tax was brought to the Temple during the First Temple period, there were no coins, so they used silver ingots. In order to calculate the weight of these silver pieces they would put them on one side of the scales and on the other side they placed the Beka weight. The Beka was equivalent to the half-shekel, which every person from the age of 20 years and up was required to bring to the Temple,” Shukron said.

According to Shukron and others, the fact that the artifact was found next to King Solomon’s Temple is yet more proof of deeply rooted Jewish ties to Jerusalem.

“This is a word that is used both inside and outside of the Bible. You don’t need to ask too many questions, just open the Bible and see it. It’s very simple. You can see beka written in the Bible and what it was used for, and there you have it,” he said.

“The Bible, the artifact found close to Solomon’s Temple, north of the City of David, the Temple foundations — everything is connected,” said Shukron.

“This three thousand-year-old Beka weight, inscribed with ancient Hebrew, was likely used in the First Temple, anchoring once again the deep historical connection of the Jewish People to Jerusalem,” said Doron Spielman, Vice President of the City of David Foundation, which funded the excavation.

North Korea blows up DMZ guard towers


There were nearly a dozen explosions heard recently along the DMZ on the Korean Peninsula, but it wasn’t a sign of the Korean War heating up again. The North Koreans reportedly dynamited ten of their own guard towers in advance of a previously agreed deadline for bringing down the structures. (ABC News)

North Korea blew up 10 of its guard posts within one kilometer radius of the Military Demarcation Line separating the two Koreas on Tuesday in accordance with agreements made with South Korea earlier this year.

The explosions were carried out simultaneously within a four minute time frame after the North notified the South of the project, according to South Korea’s Defense Ministry.

North Korean soldiers have been destroying the brick structures over the past couple of weeks. Analysts said they most likely decided to demolish the guard posts all at once to meet the November 30th deadline.

While it used to be a challenge to get any sort of reporting, particularly photography, on the activities of the North Korean military, the press is now clearly able to get in there and cover the action. This photo from the AP, taken by photographer Jung Yeon-je, captures the smoke rising from one of the detonated towers.

A couple of weeks ago we talked about the project aimed at “dismantling” a number of these guard towers and clearing out some of the landmines along one stretch of the DMZ. Apparently, the process of taking them apart brick by brick was taking too long so the North Korean army opted for a more “direct” solution.

There’s been more of this activity taking place. Just a couple of days ago, soldiers from the North and the South met at the DMZ line out in the woods. Rather than shooting at each other, their officers shook hands and chatted for a while. Here’s the video.

So how much of this is real and how much is for show, as Kim Jong-un continues his charm offensive in an attempt to remove the international sanctions on his country? Last we heard, Kim and President Trump are still pushing ahead toward a second summit, possibly as soon as January. Kim’s lack of missile launches and nuclear tests have certainly impressed the Chinese, enough so that they’ve been quietly reducing economic pressure on the North and undercutting American pressure on Kim’s regime.

Denuclearization of North Korea, more freedom for their people and a formal cessation of the Korean War are all admirable goals. But while you may grow tired of hearing me repeat myself, there’s something important to keep in mind here. Kim Jong-un is still a monster. He and his family have been directly responsible for the murder of tens, hundreds of thousands or even millions of their own citizens. They assassinate prominent military leaders and government officials with impunity while sending countless citizens to die in hidden work camps. His history shows that any promises he makes are valid only as long as they serve his purposes.

Kim has to be watched like a hawk. While much of this recent news is positive and encouraging, North Korea can still not be trusted.
