The lawless, porn-respecting , MS-13-loving, humorless American left

How does one explain how the party of FDR and JFK now supports all manner of law-breaking by illegal immigrants?  These people defend aliens’ illegal entry into the United States and give them sanctuary even after they have committed violent crimes that have taken the lives of innocent American citizens.


They also love Stormy Daniels and celebrate her ridiculous, attention-seeking, money-grubbing stalking of President Trump.  After Rudy Giuliani dared to say he did not have the same level of respect for her as he would a “woman of substance,” the denizens of CNN, NBC, and MSNBC went ballistic.  Apparently she is very much a woman of substance.  The women of The View, including Meghan McCain, defended her “work” (performing a variety of sex acts on film for money with numerous partners).  To hear them sing Stormy’s praises, one would think each of them would be proud if her own daughter chose such a profession.  But, as Mark Steyn observed, at the same time, the Miss America Pageant will no longer have a swimsuit or evening gown segment because these are demeaning to women.  Stormy is a woman to be admired for her work ethic, but the bathing suit portion of the Miss America contest is degrading.  The Democrats have boxed themselves into a corner so fraught with hypocrisy that it is stupefying.



As for Nancy Pelosi’s defense of the “spark of divinity” within the members of MS-13, those drug-dealing, sex-trafficking, machete-wielding murderers, she was not alone among her tribe of Democrats.  There is no miscreant, no matter how vile and murderous, whom they will decline to vindicate, to endorse.  They encourage them to come here and welcome them when they get here.  They are much more protective of them than they are the native-born and legal immigrants on whom they prey.  They plan to see to it that they all vote – for Democrats, of course.  For their votes, they will be provided health care, food stamps, welfare…full subsidization on the American taxpayer’s dime in sanctuary cities, where they are free to deal their drugs and terrorize their fellow immigrants who are scared to death of them.  That pretty much sums up the Democratic Party today.


The Democrats’ latest campaign is the allegedly cruel separation of parents from their children when they enter the country illegally.  As Rich Lowry wrote, “their outrage obscures more than it illuminates.”  Donald Trump has changed nothing regarding this policy.  It is implemented when the border agents do not believe that the child belongs to the adults claiming him or that said adults are a threat to the child.  According to Lowry, the Flores Consent Decree of 1997 says that “unaccompanied children can be held only 20 days.”  A ruling by the Ninth Circuit extended this 20-day limit to children who come as part of family units.  So even if we want to hold a family unit together, we are forbidden from doing so.  This is yet another phony scandal with no basis in truth.  But facts, and laws made long before Trump became president, matter not to the desperate left, whose members are still convinced they can bring Trump down and then take him out by deluding a stupid and deplorable voting public.


No one can be surprised that most members of the Democratic Party and its media farceurs have lost any semblance of a sense of humor.  Eric Swalwell, a Calif. congressman, actually said Trump’s obvious joke at a campaign rally that perhaps Russia could find Hillary’s missing emails was “code” to Putin!  Trump and Putin were colluding to steal the presidency from Hillary!  They all thought Sean Hannity’s evident sarcasm regarding the double standards with which the DOJ and FBI have addressed Ms. Clinton’s missing emails and private, unprotected server, along with her destruction of so many government documents and devices, was actually advice to those called before Mueller to do the same.  The left-media went wild with calls for Hannity to be charged with obstructing justice.


The late-night comics are no longer funny.  They are just mean and profane.  Comics can no longer entertain at college campuses because university students have been so coddled that they cannot hear a dissenting word without melting.


As the brilliant Salena Zito wrote during the campaign, the left takes Trump literally but not seriously.  His supporters take him seriously but not literally.  Guess who is the smarter group!


This observation was the most astute of the entire campaign and election.  But the lefties never learn.  They still believe in their coming blue wave.  Pelosi says the low unemployment is meaningless, the tax cuts are “crumbs,” and that consumer confidence is low despite it being at an 18-year high.  They see, hear, think, and propagate what they want to be true, not what is true.


Even California voters made a tiny dent in the left’s socialist grasp on the state.  No one expected Republican John Cox to come in second.  All Californians should be horrified by what has become of their once golden state.  Thanks to the polices of Gov. Brown, ex-senator Boxer, Feinstein, Kamala Harris, A.G. Becerra, etc. (it is a one-party Marxist state), California is a disaster of incalculable proportions, drowning in the homeless, the illegal migrants, traffic, and the highest gas prices in the country.  It is so bad that a Republican may just have a chance. 


One thing is certain. The American left has moved so far to the deranged radical left that even former liberals, like Alan Dershowitz, Mark Penn, and Doug Schoen, are frightened.  So irrationally revolted by Trump’s election win, the Democrats have lost all sense of reason and reality.  They are now motivated only by pure hate.  They relentlessly accuse Trump of what they do as a rule: lie, cheat, and propagandize.


Throughout all his years in the public eye, no one had ever accused Donald Trump of being a racist – until he ran for president.  Fifty years in business, and not once was he so accused.  Not once was he ever charged with being homophobic.  Does he love beautiful women?  Yes, like most men who have escaped the trope of “toxic masculinity.”  Did he ever treat any woman as Harvey Weinstein, Eric Schneiderman, Bill Clinton, Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose, and the host of other leftist men did who have for decades claimed to be champions of women’s rights while serially abusing the women in their lives?  No, he did not.


Our left cannot abide the fact that the character traits they have assigned to Trump are false.  They are in fact the left’s own habits of mind – projection and dissemblance, day in and day out.


Let us all pray that enough voters wake up to the fact of what the left has become by the 2018 midterm election.  These crazy, humorless, gang-loving, porn star-adoring people must not be in charge of anything or anyone, least of all the greatest country on the planet.

Tommy Robinson ‘Disappears’: Free Speech in England Is Dead

The arrest of British free speech activist Tommy Robinson has sent shockwaves across the Anglosphere.  The United Kingdom, once dedicated to the values of freedom, has taken a path toward authoritarian government and away from freedom.  The once great nation, which created the Magna Carta and once commanded an empire, is now the land of tyranny.  Unless the British people love their freedom enough and fight this injustice in fierce fashion, it will remain a land silenced by intimidation and fear.


The authoritarian socialist government of the United Kingdom has been out to get Robinson for years on anything it can.  It has harassed, intimidated, arrested, and incarcerated Robinson, as it did last May, since it is now apparently a “crime” to report on the decades-long systematic rape of hundreds of non-Muslim children by gangs of Muslim men, who are now apparently a protected class of people.  Lizzie Dearden of the Independent reported that Robinson was arrested for “breaching the peace,” no doubt an absurd pretense by the British authorities in light of the documented film footage of his actions.



Robinson, a former member of the English Defense League whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is being unfairly persecuted by the U.K. government.  Robinson’s “crime” was that he yelled questions outside Leeds Crown Court and named the alleged defendants, like any other reporter.  So what?  The state broadcaster, the BBC, and the mainstream media had already named them.  Why was he arrested, and why were they not arrested?


If gangs of white men had spent decades torturing and raping little Muslim girls and a justly outraged Muslim reporter were covering the case, in a similar manner as Robinson, would he be arrested? 


We all know that the answer is “no,” and we know why.  The U.K. is so invested in its politically correct multiculturalism diversity project that it has applied a different treatment of Muslims under the law, which accepts the diversity of legal systems and places the country on a path toward ruin.


Diversity of treatment under the law fragments societies.  Diversity in this sense cannot ever work unless moral values remain constant.  If freedom of speech is a value and a virtue, can any free nation really tolerate the intolerant and those who violently oppose freedom of speech?


Americans should be highly concerned over this case, because the same type of “hate speech laws” used against British citizens are currently being advocated in the U.S. Senate, by Marco Rubio (R), Kamala Harris (D), Susan Collins (R), and Dianne Feinstein (D) and a long list of others.  Hillary Clinton pushed the same laws in 2012 and 2015 and 2017.  Three similar unconstitutional laws aimed at our First Amendment rights were advanced in our Congress, after being drafted by Emgage USA and the Muslim Public Affairs Council, two Islamic organizations and defenders of designated terrorist organizations and their supporters, according to the Investigative Project on Terrorism.  The passage of any such anti-freedom of speech bill would place our country on Britain’s same ruinous path.


In only a matter of hours, not only was Robinson illegitimately arrested, but he was taken before a judge without access to his own lawyer, with no trial or due process of law, and he was sentenced to thirteen months in prison.  Afterward, he was promptly transported to Hull Prison, where an imminent threat of death awaits him among a prison population that holds a large number of Muslims. 


Remember, Kevin Crehan, a British citizen, was imprisoned for a year for leaving a bacon sandwich near a mosque.  He was found murdered in his cell on December 27, 2016.  The same threat hangs over Robinson.


As we all know, there has been no press conference or detailed explanation of Robinson’s arrest from the British government, which further illuminates the illegitimacy of this action.  Instead of transparency, the government banned any reports on the trial of the Muslim pedophiles and the arrest and incarceration of Tommy Robinson.  Not only were reporters’ questions going unanswered, but the reporters were forbidden from even reporting the bare facts of Robinson’s incarceration.


On May 26, Gerald Batten, a UKIP member of the European Parliament, tweeted: “I am trying to recall of a case where someone was convicted of a ‘crime’ which cannot be reported on.  Where he can be cast into prison without it being possible to report his name, offense, or place of imprisonment for fear of contempt of court.  Can anyone remember such a case?”


This only infuriated journalists across the Atlantic.  Judi McLeod, editor of the Canada Free Press, opened her article by asking, “Where is Tommy Robinson?  A question whose answer should be demanded rather than merely asked[.] … Modern day Merry England has become far more nightmare than fairytale, as it steadily works its way toward ugly police state status.”


What’s next, England – people getting “disappeared”?


Free speech is dead in the United Kingdom.  The imprisonment of Tommy Robinson and the arbitrary silencing of the press prove it.


In a land that once could proudly state, “The sun never sets on the British Empire,” the torch of freedom has been extinguished.  It’s a land divided by diversity that has now descended into the darkness of tyranny.


If the globalists in both American parties and the U.S. State Department have their way, America will be next. 


Tommy Robinson represents a large segment of Britain’s people, with over 500,000 signatures on a petition already to “Free Tommy.”  The people sent a clear message on Saturday, May 26, 2018, that they have had enough, as thousands of British people stopped traffic, chanted, and pressed the gates of 10 Downing Street and threw bottles at machine gun-toting policemen.  Their anger hung thick in the air, because they want Robinson, at the very least, to be released from prison and allowed to get back to his life and enjoy the same protection and human rights and dignity as Anjem Choudary, the terrorist-supporter, was afforded by the authorities.  Short of this, the summer in Britain will turn out to be a season of riots and civil strife, awaiting the spark that moves the good and decent Brits – of a long ancestry dating to 1066 and William the Conqueror – to fight furiously to make their land free once more.

KEY EVIDENCE GOES MISSING: Server Belonging to Wasserman Shultz IT Worker Imran Awan Is Physically Stolen from Congress

KEY EVIDENCE GOES MISSING: Server Belonging to Wasserman Shultz IT Worker Imran Awan Is Physically Stolen from Congress

Imran Awan worked for Debbie Wasserman Schultz for thirteen years since she came into office in 2004 as a Florida representative. 

Imran and his two Pakistani brothers managed the IT affairs for several Democratic government officials.  They were relieved of their duties in February 2017 on suspicion that they accessed specific computer networks without permission, also known as hacking.

Abid, Imran, and Jamal Awan were barred from computer networks at the House of Representatives in February 2017.

Imran Awan was married to two women at once, including his first cousin, as is his country’s custom.

Imran had his court case rescheduled recently until next month.

Imran Awan and his wife Alvi reportedly struck a plea deal this week.

Daily Caller investigative journalist Luke Rosiak joined Lou Dobbs on Wednesday to discuss the latest in the Imran Awan Pakistani hacking scandal.

In his interview Wednesday night Luke Rosiak mentioned that Attorney General Jeff Sessions is refusing to bring up charges against Wasserman Shultz’s IT expert Imran Awan.

Now this…
The Awan brothers’ server with much of the key evidence to the case has gone missing.
The Epoch Times reported:

In a behind-closed-door briefing to the House leadership in September 2016, the inspector general said their activity was suspicious in part because the IT workers had taken steps to conceal their identities.

“Excessive logons are an indication that the server is being used for nefarious purposes and elevated the risk that individuals could be reading and/or removing information,” reads a presentation by the inspector general that was not released to the public.

The inspector general also warned of the risk that the server could be used as a repository to store documents “taken from other offices or evidence of other illicit activity.”

The investigation had uncovered Dropbox accounts installed on at least two Democratic Caucus computers used by the IT workers, against House IT policy.

The two accounts associated with the Dropbox accounts on the computers each contained thousands of files.

“We have not been permitted to view content of the files on these workstations. However, based on the file names, some of the information is likely sensitive,” the presentation says.

The inspector general also warned House leadership that the accounts could have been used to exfiltrate information.

“While file-sharing sites, such as Dropbox, have legitimate business purposes, use of such sites is also a classic method for insiders to exfiltrate data from an organization.”

Server Goes Missing

Following a second briefing in late September 2016, in which the House inspector warned the House leadership of “continuing unauthorized access,” the investigation was moved to the Capitol Police in October.

It was not until months later, on Feb. 2, 2017, that the House sergeant at arms banned the IT workers from the House network.

The Democratic Caucus server, which had been identified by the inspector general as ground zero of the suspicious activity, had disappeared at that time.

Three senior government officials with knowledge of the situation told the Daily Caller News Foundation last year that it had been physically stolen.

DISGUSTING NEW LOW: CNN Claims Donald Trump was Soft Porn Star

DISGUSTING NEW LOW: CNN Claims Donald Trump was Soft Porn Star

A new low for the liberal media..
CNN claims President Trump was a porn star today.

Christopher Massie is a reporter for CNN’s KFILE.

 

Today Massie reported that Donald Trump was a porn star… A soft-porn star.

Giuliani says people in the porn business are not credible. Trump has appeared in three softcore porn videos.

From the report:

CNN and BuzzFeed reported in 2016 that Trump appeared in Playboy films in 1994, 2000, and 2001. In the first appearance, Trump is seen photographing clothed models with a Polaroid camera and interviewing a Playmate. In the second, he opens a bottle of champagne on a Playboy-branded limousine as visiting Playmates cheer. In the third, he appears backstage at a fashion show with two Playmates along with the future first lady, then Melania Knauss, his girlfriend at the time.

Donald Trump appeared with his wife Melania in a Playboy movie.
For this CNN labels him a soft porn star.

Unreal.

A new low for Very Fake News CNN.

Alice Johnson Thanks Jesus Christ and President Trump for Sentence Commutation

Alice Johnson publicly thanked her “Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” and “President Donald John Trump” Wednesday afternoon, after being released from prison after serving 22-years.

After Johnson’s case was brought to his attention by reality TV superstar Kim Kardashian West, Trump commuted her sentence.

This was the scene Wednesday as Johnson was released.

“First of all, I want to thank my Lord and Savior, thank Jesus Christ. Without him, I can do nothing. With him, I can do everything,” she said. “I want to thank President Donald John Trump. Hallelujah!,” she added, as the crowd around her cheered at the sound of the president’s name. “Thank you for giving me another chance at life and restoring me to my family.’

Speaking of Kardashian West, Johnson added, “Bless Kim, our little angel. Thank you, thank you.”

Johnson, who is now 63, had been serving a life sentence in a federal prison in Aliceville, Alabama, since 1996.

According to Mic, the outlet that first publicized Johnson’s story, which in turn got the attention of Kardashian West, “Johnson was convicted for her role facilitating communications in a cocaine trafficking operation in Memphis, Tennessee.” She was then handed a sentence of life with no chance of parole, plus another 25 years.

This was Johnson’s first offense.

Once incarcerated, Johnson became a model prisoner, a playwright and minister to the other female prisoners.

There is no record of her ever having been involved in any kind of violence.

Kardashian West told the Mic that while meeting with Trump, he “really spent the time to listen to our case that we were making for Alice. He really understood, and I am very hopeful that this will turn out really positively.”

Johnson again thanked Kardashian West and Trump Thursday morning on ABC’s Good Morning America.

When asked if she felt she had paid her debt to society, Johnson said she felt she had “overpaid,” but did not deny committing the crimes that resulted in her 22-year imprisonment, which were quite serious:

Minutes after her GMA appearance Trump tweeted, “Good luck to Alice Johnson. Have a wonderful life.”

In Rush to Defend Stormy Daniels, Megyn Kelly Compares First Lady to Porn Star

Eager to defend the virtue of porn star Stormy Daniels against Donald Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani questioning her character and credibility, on her Thursday 9:00 a.m. ET hour show, NBC anchor Megyn Kelly actually compared First Lady Melania Trump to the adult film actress. The host claimed that the president’s wife “sold her body for sexual exploitation” when she once posed nude for GQ magazine 18 years ago.

Kelly began the panel discussion by playing a clip of Giuliani telling an audience in Israel: “I don’t respect a porn star the way I respect a career woman or a woman of substance or a woman who has great respect for herself as a woman and as a person, and isn’t going to sell her body for sexual exploitation.”

 

 

In response, NBC reporter Stephanie Gosk ranted:

Megyn, if you sat me down right now and said, “Stephanie, please script the worst possible thing that could come out of Giuliani’s mouth in answer to that question,” I’d be hard pressed to come up with something worse. I mean, honestly. It is shockingly, shockingly dumb. And offensive.

That prompted laughter and applause from the studio audience.

Moments later, Kelly decided to compare the First Lady to Daniels:

And can I just tell you, so the notion that, you know, he respects women of substance, a woman who won’t sell her body for sexual exploitation. So Melania Trump is classy and gorgeous, and I really admire her, but she has posed nude for GQ magazine back in 2000. [Applause] And so, to suggest that Trump would never respect, and that Giuliani wouldn’t respect anybody who’s ever sold her body for sexual exploitation, I mean, is not –

At that point, the morning show host realized what she was saying and attempted to clarify: “…now, I’m not comparing the two, posing nude is not the same as being a porn star – but come on. Right? Come on.” Of course the comparison had already clearly been made.

I’m sure viewers can expect that the next celebrity who shows up on Kelly’s program or the Today show who’s ever done a nude scene in a movie can expect to be asked about selling their body for sexual exploitation. 

To her credit, Kelly attempted to briefly “play devil’s advocate” for Giuliani:

I went back and I looked at Stormy Daniels’ Twitter feed, which I cannot say that I recommend to you. But she’s very open about how she is offensive, how she’s offensive. And talking about “Whores do lie, but on their backs. Sometimes we kneel or bend over.” “Have you seen my [blank]. Of course you have.” “F-off” to people on Twitter. Talking about what kind of sex she’ll do on camera in very vulgar terms. So there is a contingent of folks out there watching Giuliani who are going to be, like, “Right!” I’m playing devil’s advocate.

While Gosk acknowledged that “those things are going to be offensive to people,” the correspondent argued that it was inappropriate for Giuliani to be “going after her character and her substance.” Kelly chimed in: “And being an adult film star does not make you a liar. Doesn’t make you a liar.”

Also on the panel was New York Times reporter Megan Twohey, who testified to the work ethic and values of those in the porn industry:

I was doing reporting on Stormy Daniels this winter, and I actually traveled out to Los Angeles for the Golden Globes equivalent for the porn industry….Stormy was up for best director for a film at the time. I thought maybe I’d be able to catch her there. She didn’t show. But I actually spent a lot of time talking to women in the adult entertainment industry and spent – you know, have had many conversations with women in the field since then. And you can say whatever you want about them, but they are certainly career women. I mean, these are professional women who take their jobs very seriously. And oftentimes are running their own companies and directing their own films. And it’s just, I think that beyond what he’s saying about Stormy Daniels, to do a categoric dismissal of this, you know, entire profession of women is – you know, is uncalled for.

In a bizarre attempt to bolster the credibility of Daniels’s claims of having an affair with Trump, Kelly decided to poll her audience by asking: “Do you believe that Melania Trump believes Donald Trump?” Crowd shouted back: “No!”

Well, I guess that proves that it happened, Megyn Kelly’s audience says so.

Here is a full transcript of the June 7 segment:

9:06 AM ET

MEGYN KELLY: We’ve got to get to Rudy. So Rudy Giuliani was over in Israel and he answered all sorts of questions about Trump, about life, about love. And they asked him whether the First Lady, Melania Trump, believes the Stormy Daniels allegations, that Stormy and Trump had an affair back in 2006, while he was married to Melania. And Rudy said, “She doesn’t believe Stormy Daniels.” [Laughter] And then went on to say this.

RUDY GIULIANI: She believes in her husband. She knows it’s not true. I don’t even think there’s a slight suspicion that it’s true, excuse me, but when you look at Stormy Daniels. I know Donald Trump.

UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Let’s respect her.

[ON-SCREEN: Rude Rudy? Giuliani Criticizes Stormy Daniels]

GIULIANI: Look at his three wives, right? Beautiful women, classy women, women of great substance. But Stormy Daniels? I respect all human beings. I even have to respect, you know, criminals. But I’m sorry, I don’t respect a porn star the way I respect a career woman or a woman of substance or a woman who has great respect for herself as a woman and as a person, and isn’t going to sell her body for sexual exploitation. So, Stormy, you want to bring your case, let me cross-examine you.

KELLY: So NBC reached out to him just this morning. He said he stands by his comments. “Why wouldn’t I?,” he said. He said, “Look, are you going to try to tell me that porn is not demeaning to women?” And when questioned about whether he was trying to undermine Stormy’s credibility, he said, “I don’t have to undermine her credibility, she has none.”

STEPHANIE GOSK: Megyn, if you sat me down right now and said, “Stephanie, please script the worst possible thing that could come out of Giuliani’s mouth in answer to that question,” I’d be hard pressed to come up with something worse. I mean, honestly. It is shockingly, shockingly dumb. And offensive. [Laughter and applause]

MEGAN TWOHEY [NEW YORK TIMES]: I mean, it’s also part of the – an ongoing Trump playbook. I mean, not just in the case of Stormy Daniels, but going back to the 2016 presidential race, when there were women who came forward with, not claims of consensual affairs, but actual sexual misconduct against him. One of his defenses was, “She’s not attractive enough. I wouldn’t have done that. She’s not attractive enough.”

KELLY: Right, “Have you seen her?”

TWOHEY: So this is sort of a continuation of a defense that’s rolled out when they want to discredit women, saying they’re not attractive to be telling the – attractive enough to be telling the truth about him.

KELLY: And can I just tell you, so the notion that, you know, he respects women of substance, a woman who won’t sell her body for sexual exploitation. So Melania Trump is classy and gorgeous, and I really admire her, but she has posed nude for GQ magazine back in 2000. [Applause] And so, to suggest that Trump would never respect, and that Giuliani wouldn’t respect anybody who’s ever sold her body for sexual exploitation, I mean, is not – now, I’m not comparing the two, posing nude is not the same as being a porn star – but come on. Right? Come on.

Let me play devil’s advocate, though, on Giuliani’s behalf, since he’s not here. I went back and I looked at Stormy Daniels’ Twitter feed, which I cannot say that I recommend to you. But she’s very open about how she is offensive, how she’s offensive. And talking about “Whores do lie, but on their backs. Sometimes we kneel or bend over.” “Have you seen my [blank]. Of course you have.” “F-off” to people on Twitter. Talking about what kind of sex she’ll do on camera in very vulgar terms. So there is a contingent of folks out there watching Giuliani who are going to be, like, “Right!” I’m playing devil’s advocate.

GOSK: Certainly, those things are going to be offensive to people and they’re not going to –  they’re going to look at that and say, “Oh, God.” I get that. But she’s also playing to them a bit, and she said, “I have every right in the world to be who I want to be, to be this person.” And when what happened to her happened with Trump, she’s fighting her fight. And I think when Giuliani comes out and talks about her substance and her appearance – he can come out and say, “You know what, it didn’t happen.”

KELLY: Right.

GOSK: “Trump says it didn’t happen, Melania said it didn’t happen.” Fine. That’s a perfectly fine defense. But now, he’s going after her character and her substance and it just is –  

KELLY: And being an adult film star does not make you a liar. Doesn’t make you a liar.

TWOHEY: Right, and exactly. I was doing reporting on Stormy Daniels this winter, and I actually traveled out to Los Angeles for the Golden Globes equivalent for the porn industry. And I spent –  

KELLY: Oh, that must have been interesting.

TWOHEY: It was interesting, it was interesting. [Laughter] Stormy was up for best director for a film at the time. I thought maybe I’d be able to catch her there. She didn’t show. But I actually spent a lot of time talking to women in the adult entertainment industry and spent – you know, have had many conversations with women in the field since then. And you can say whatever you want about them, but they are certainly career women. I mean, these are professional women who take their jobs very seriously. And oftentimes are running their own companies and directing their own films. And it’s just, I think that beyond what he’s saying about Stormy Daniels, to do a categoric dismissal of this, you know, entire profession of women is – you know, is uncalled for.

KELLY: Can I just ask the audience? Do you believe that Melania Trump believes Donald Trump?

STUDIO AUDIENCE: No!

KELLY: Right? In his denial of the affair.

GOSK: I didn’t say it was a good argument. [Laughter] I just said it could be an argument.

KELLY: Alright, we’ll leave it at that. Great to see you, ladies. We’ll be right back.

Networks Ignore Report Obama Administration Gave Iran Access to U.S. Financial System

According to a new Senate committee report out Wednesday, not only did the Obama administration give Iran tens of billions of dollars in seized assets through the nuclear deal but they also sought to facilitate the transfer of roughly $6 billion from Oman to Iran’s radical Islamic regime.

Despite the report showing how the Obama administration lied in congressional oversight hearings about the access it would allow Iran, the liberal broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) along with Spanish-language outlets Telemundo and Univision completely ignored the bombshell during their evening newscasts.

The nuclear deal gave Iran access to its international bank accounts. One account in Oman held about $6 billion in local currency,” Fox News Channel’s Rich Edson explained on Special Report that evening. “To use it, the Iranians needed to convert that money first U.S. dollars, then to euros. The Obama administration was ready to help.

According to the Senate committee report, and noted by Edson, “the Obama administration bypassed existing sanctions and cleared the way for Iran to use the U.S. financial system.” Obama administration officials, including then-Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, made impassioned declarations during congressional hearings proclaiming they would continue to bar Iran from working through the U.S. financial system.

“Iran will be denied access to the world’s most important markets and unable to deal in the world’s most important currency,” acting Treasury Undersecretary Adam Szubin said in a clip from August 5, 2015.

 

 

Edson walked viewers through the Obama administration’s shady process of helping Iran out, which included pressuring not one but two U.S. banks, who ended up not caving to them:

The report says that in January 2016 Iran complained about its nearly $6 billion stuck in an Oman bank. One month later, the Obama Treasury Department issued a license, allowing a transaction that federal government would otherwise prohibit. Officials then tried to persuade two U.S. banks to execute it. The report says, quote, “Both U.S. Banks eventually declined primarily due to the unwillingness to take on the legal and compliance risk. But also reputational concerns in doing business with a comprehensively sanctioned country like Iran.”

As for what happened to the $6 billion in Oman, the report says Iran likely retrieved it gradually using European banks,” Edson concluded.

Ohio Republican Senator Rob Portman, chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which put out the report, shared his thoughts on why the Obama administration sought to help Iran. “I think they did so because they were desperate to get a deal,” he said.

So, on the one hand, they were saying that the Iranians were not going to get access to the American financial system. On the other hand, they actually granted Iran a specific license to allow them to take some of the funds that had been in escrow,” Portman continued.

The network blackout of this damning nuclear deal news came a full day after they ignored Iran’s announcement that they would be ramping up their uranium enrichment. It’s the latest in a disturbing series of pro-Iran moves by these networks.

SHANNON BREAM: A Republican Congressional report says the Obama administration deliberately misled Congress and the public in its efforts to funnel billions of dollars to Iran as part of the nuclear deal. Correspondent Rich Edson as the specifics tonight from the State Department.

[Cuts to video]

RICH EDSON: After signing the 2015 nuclear agreement, Iran had a $6 billion problem. The nuclear deal gave Iran access to its international bank accounts. One account in Oman held about $6 billion in local currency. To use it, the Iranians needed to convert that money first U.S. dollars, then to euros. The Obama administration was ready to help.

ROB PORTMAN: I think they did so because they were desperate to get a deal. So, on the one hand, they were saying that the Iranians were not going to get access to the American financial system. On the other hand, they actually granted Iran a specific license to allow them to take some of the funds that had been in escrow.

EDSON: A report from the Republican majority of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations says the Obama administration bypassed existing sanctions and cleared the way for Iran to use the U.S. financial system. Even as officials claimed that would never happen. The Senate report cites pledges, then-Treasury Secretary Jack Lew and other top administration officials.

ADAM SZUBIN (Acting Treasury Undersecretary): Iran will be denied access to the world’s most important markets and unable to deal in the world’s most important currency.

EDSON: The report says that in January 2016 Iran complained about its nearly $6 billion stuck in an Oman bank. One month later, the Obama Treasury Department issued a license, allowing a transaction that federal government would otherwise prohibit. Officials then tried to persuade two U.S. banks to execute it. The report says, quote, “Both U.S. Banks eventually declined primarily due to the unwillingness to take on the legal and compliance risk. But also reputational concerns in doing business with a comprehensively sanctioned country like Iran.”

A former administration official refused to go on record, though tells Fox News the license fulfilled U.S. commitments under the nuclear agreement to, quote, “give Iran access to pools of its money held overseas. This specific license cannot be described as ‘granting access to the U.S. financial system.”

[Cuts back to live]

As for what happened to the $6 billion in Oman, the report says Iran likely retrieved it gradually using European banks. Shannon.

BREAM: All right, Rich Edson at the State Department. We’ll have more on that coming up. Thank you.

WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: Trump is Better Than Reagan

WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: Trump is Better Than Reagan

By Wayne Allyn Root

It’s time for a victory lap. As the great Mohammed Ali said, “It ain’t bragging if you can back it up.”

At Fox News Opinion, I predicted back in July 2015 (days after Trump declared for president) that Donald Trump would be the greatest jobs creator ever- for black Americans, Hispanic Americans, females, gays, Muslims. In short, I predicted President Trump would create jobs for EVERYONE including his worst critics. See:

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/07/02/donald-trump-first-hispanic-president.html

I predicted under President Trump there’d be a job in every pot.

And not just any jobs. Obama created nothing but crappy part-time, low-wage jobs. I predicted Trump would produce full-time middle class jobs.

Don’t look now, but it’s all happened. Trump is our generation’s Reagan. Reagan was my hero. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but…

Trump may actually be better than Reagan.

Reagan produced millions of good-paying middle class jobs, unprecedented prosperity and the greatest economic expansion in world history. Trump is on track to surpass Reagan’s economic success.

Let’s start with the May jobs report. US job growth sharply accelerated. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 223,000, smashing expectations by 33,000 jobs.

Manufacturing gained 18,000 jobs. Construction gained 25,000 jobs. Mining gained almost 6000 jobs.

The jobless rate is now 3.8%, the lowest since November of 1969. Yes, I said 1969.

Black unemployment is the lowest ever.

Hispanic unemployment is the lowest ever.

Female unemployment is the lowest in over half a century.

I’m sure gays and Muslims are enjoying record low unemployment too- there just isn’t a measurement for those groups.

Wages are up 2.7% for the year. Happy Days are here again. A wage increase of any size was just a rumor in eight years under Obama.

But wait. I haven’t gotten to the really good news yet!

The number of full-time jobs rose by 904,000 for the month of May. That’s the biggest monthly increase this century.

We also lost 625,000 low quality, low wage part-time jobs. I call them “Obama jobs.” Good riddance.

When liberals praised Obama for creating jobs, I pointed out his own former Chief Economic Advisor proved an overwhelming majority of those jobs created under Obama were crappy, low-wage, part-time jobs. In the Obama era every new job required food stamps and free healthcare to survive.

“The Trump Miracle” produces the exact opposite of Obama. With Trump’s economy, its all about full-time, high-wage jobs.

But wait, there’s more good news.

*GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is the only real way to measure if an economy is healthy, or not. The Fed just predicted GDP for the 2nd quarter will be a blistering 4.8%.

That’s a number not seen since the days of Reagan.

*The USA has moved back to #1 in the world in the global economic competitiveness index. Thanks to President Trump’s massive tax cuts and killing of regulations, we’re now ahead of booming economies like Singapore, Hong Kong and Switzerland.

*A record 35% of small businesses reported paying higher wages to employees last month. 74% of employers plan to pay $11 per hour or higher, compared to 53% a year ago. Small business is exploding under Trump.

Why is all of this happening? First, Trump cut taxes dramatically, so now business owners can afford to share the wealth.

Secondly, Trump is killing regulations at the fastest pace of any president in history, so business owners can spend our money on paying higher wages, instead of on lawyer bills.

And third, here’s the big one: Trump’s strict immigration policies are working overtime (excuse the pun). 40% of employers are using E-verify to hire only legal American citizens- up from 25% last year. Trump’s policies are super-charging the economy for American citizens, not illegals.

Now to a little personal example. I’m on the front lines of the economy. I have no safe job, no safe paycheck, no pension. I am a small businessman and entrepreneur. Which means I spend my life pitching deals and hustling 24/7. I’m the perfect laboratory experiment to tell you if the economy is working, or not.

Under Obama I pitched many deals, but never raised one dollar in eight long years. Nothing. Zip. Nada. Zero. There was no life, no pulse, no hope under Obama for entrepreneurs like me.

It was a dynamic economy for illegal aliens, and people on welfare or food stamps. But for the job creators, financial risk-takers and business owners, it was a disaster.

Everything has changed under Trump. The world of money has opened up. Everyone is buying again. Everyone is writing checks again. I’m the living proof. I’m raising money for business deals- and groups are banging down my doors to invest. Investors are begging me to take their checks. That never happened in eight long years under Obama.

Coincidence?

It’s a new day under President Trump. We are free to make money again. We are free to practice capitalism without guilt. The sun is out. The skies are blue. There’s a job in every pot. The Trump Miracle lives.

President Donald J. Trump should be the runaway winner of the 2018 Nobel Economic Prize.

And yes, so far, he’s even better than Reagan.

MO-Sen: Petersen’s polling looks good. Meet the veteran running the GOP candidate’s campaign

Jeffrey Carson doesn’t seem to miss a beat. He’s responsive, he speaks with ease rather than talking points, and he’s driven by conviction — just like the candidate he represents in Missouri’s GOP primary for U.S. Senate.

Carson is the campaign manager for Austin Petersen, who is seeking to eventually topple incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill (D). Petersen was a Libertarian Party presidential candidate in 2016, and came in second. Now, he’s running to represent his home state, and shows poll numbers against McCaskill that are turning voters’ heads.

But Petersen faces a challenging primary on August 7, in a race that includes Attorney General Josh Hawley and bomber pilot Tony Monetti as other top contenders.

So who is this guy running the campaign?

From 2004-2008, Jeff Carson was a Patriot missile defense officer and later a ground liaison officer in the U.S. Army, serving all over The Gulf, including Iraq.

“My whole family is military — literally, everyone. My mom, dad, step-mom, step-dad, brother, all three uncles, grandpas…I’m the runt who only served four years, everyone else was career.

“Service is in our blood. That’s why I do what I do now; it’s another way I can serve, here on the political side. We have a big problem with politicians and our political system in this country.”

That’s why Carson says he felt a different calling after his four years were up. He secured an MBA from Texas Tech following his military discharge, and worked for “the man,” (including contracting for Google and product development for  Asurion), for a number of years before quitting his job to join the political arena.

He explained to TheBlaze that the corporate world wasn’t for him: “I believed my path would be different than that. Something in my gut just told me.”

What drew him to work with Petersen?

Carson originally worked for Petersen’s 2016 presidential race. When asked why he signed on for another run, he told TheBlaze, “First and foremost: It’s really, really tough to find good people in politics, who you can trust to make the right decisions — even when it’s difficult.

“And finding the right candidates? That’s nearly impossible.”

But Carson says Petersen is that type of candidate. He said of Austin, “I’ve seen him bribed and even threatened over the time we’ve worked together, and he’s always told the bad guys to take a hike. That’s always stuck with me.

“Austin always says, ‘You may not always agree with me, but you can trust me to be honest.’ Even on things that we know aren’t the most popular positions to have in a Republican primary.”

He reiterates that a great thing about Petersen is that he spells everything out, and there are no secrets or surprises for voters. “Go on his website, and check out where he stands on the issues,” Carson said, “you don’t have to question what you’re getting with him as a candidate. He’s transparent.”

Here’s an interview Petersen did with Ben Shapiro, who calls him a friend:

Giuliani: Let’s face it, the 13 partisan Democrats on Mueller’s team are trying to “frame” Trump

Anytime there’s an escalation in Russiagate rhetoric by Team Trump it’s worth noting and wondering what news might be coming that they know about but we don’t — yet. Rudy’s in contact with Mueller’s lawyers and of course he’s endlessly fielding media inquiries about the investigation; from those two sources he’s bound to get broad hints about new developments that haven’t become public. For instance, it seemed strange and random when POTUS went on a Twitter tirade about Paul Manafort on Sunday:

What the hell was that about, people wondered? My guess was that maybe Manafort had finally agreed to cooperate with Mueller, Trump had gotten wind of it, and he’d taken to Twitter to pre-spin the news that was coming. Some sort of Manafort news was surely coming, though. Lo and behold, within 24 hours the NYT was reporting that Mueller suspected Manafort of witness tampering. The paper probably asked the White House for reaction over the weekend, triggering POTUS’s “Paul who?” Twitter spasm.

Now here’s Giuliani with the hardest knock on Mueller yet, accusing him of not just conducting a baseless “witch hunt” but of preparing to frame the president for a crime he didn’t commit. Does … he have reason to believe that Trump’s about to be formally accused of something by Mueller? Or is he just caught up in the moment in the clip below, pandering to a friendly audience with irresponsible chatter about the head of state being framed by deep-state operatives like all cautious, judicious lawyers do?

An amazing true fact via Harry Enten:

The hero of 9/11 is at 29/44 nationally, fully 20 points underwater among independents. The last time Quinnipiac polled him, in 2007 during his brief presidential run, he was at 47/32. I think obituarists will be kind to him when his time finally comes by leading with his 9/11 response but don’t hold me to that if the Russiagate standoff turns ugly this year and Rudy remains the tip of Trump’s messaging spear. Depending on how crazy things get, maybe this ends up as his legacy.

In lieu of an exit question, read Paul Rosenzweig on why Mueller’s witness-tampering claim about Manafort is not just weak but may signal trouble for Mueller. Quote: “This is a sign that they are feeling pressure. Possibly from Trump. Possibly from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Possibly just from their reading of the public tea leaves. Whatever the source of the pressure, they have an increased sense of urgency to move quickly.” If they desperately need Manafort’s cooperation at this point to make something stick, maybe they have less evidence against Trump and his inner circle than we all suspect. Which makes Rudy’s “framing” comment even weirder.
