Conservatives welcome. Libs & RINOs go away. It's all of you destroying the society and conservatives must no longer appease you!
Although President Trump is currently fulfilling one campaign promise after another, turning the economy around and making significant advancements on the international stage in North Korea, Israel and Iran you would never know it if you followed the mainstream media.

“However you feel about the DACA and how to solve that problem, which we want to solve, [Democrats] are standing the way of securing our border which most Americans agree should be a top priority,” he told Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures. “We’ll work with President Trump to get that done … We’re working with the Freedom Caucus, and we’re not that far apart.”
Scalise declined to describe the “third alternative” which GOP leaders — led by House Speaker Paul Ryan — are trying to develop with Trump.
Scalise suggested the bill would be somewhere between the no-strings ‘Dream’ amnesty being pushed by 20 business-first GOP representatives and the comprehensive reform package developed by Rep. Bob Goodlatte and Rep. Michael McCaul, the two chairmen of the House Judiciary and House homeland security committees. “We’re … working with the President to see if there is some third alternative,” he said.
Scalise suggested the “third alternative” bill would swap a big amnesty for cash to build a border wall, and did not mention the main immigration-law reforms offered by Trump in his State of the Union Speech.
Ryan has zig-zagged as he tries to win the DACA amnesty in his last few months in office, amid the growing risk of a populist rejection in November. He praised Trump’s reforms as “extremely reasonable” during his May 17 press conference, just six days after apparently excluding them during his May 11 press conference.
The problem for Americans is that GOP leaders and many GOP legislators want an amnesty, said Rosemary Jenks, policy director for NumbersUSA. “That’s been clear from the get-go — we have too many GOP legislators who want amnesty just as badly as the Democrats do,” she told Breitbart News. She continued:
The American people are willing to go along with a limited amnesty if they get the end of chain-migration, get mandatory E-Verify, border security, the establishment of American sovereignty — and yet that is not what Republican leadership wants.
It is not clear if Trump will accept a Ryan plan that junks his popular four-part reform plan just before the November elections — but sources say Ryan’s first proposal was rejected May 15. Ryan is not running for reelection in November and will retire in January.
Trump’s aide, Kellyanne Conway also appeared on the Bartiromo show, where she called for a wall but did not mention the President’s State of the Union plan.
Trump offered to trade amnesty for 1.8 million illegals in exchange for closing the border-law loopholes, ending chain-migration and ending the visa lottery. Instead, Conway just stressed the importance of building a border wall, saying “That border wall needs to be funded … This need to get done … We need to be a sovereign nation that has physical borders.”
Scalise declined several opportunities to say he and Ryan would whip reluctant GOP legislators to vote for the Goodlatte/McCaul bill in any future debate. Despite his pending retirement, Ryan has a lot of power to make wavering GOP legislators support the Goodlatte bill.
Scalise merely said:
We’re going to bring the Goodlatte/McCaul bill to the floor. I think that is the right answer. It deals with wall funding. it secures the border. It solves the DACA problem in a way that we are in sync with the president. Unfortunately, the votes aren’t there yet to pass it and we’re working on some other alternatives with President Trump … the votes aren’t there to pass it.
The Goodlatte bill includes a variety of immigration-law reforms that would end chain migration, end the visa lottery, and ensure mandatory use of E-Verify to exclude illegals from jobs. It would also close the many legal loopholes which allow hundreds of thousands of migrants to overwhelm border fences and win “catch and release” so they can get blue-collar jobs serving white-collar Americans in Democratic-run cities, such as Washington D.C.
But the Goodlatte bill also tries to buys support from business groups by offering tens of thousands of extra foreign college-graduates — including 6,000 extra foreign nurses — each year, plus a huge population of several hundred thousand guest-workers for the food industry, plus work-permits for the 700,000 registered DACA illegals. The bill would not reduce the current population of roughly 1.5 million college-graduate visa-workers.
Investors and business groups want even more foreign workers and have allied with Democrats to oppose any cuts in legal migration. The business/progressive coalition opposes the Goodlatte bill because it would reduce the inflow of new workers, consumers, and voters, and would also constrict progressives’ claimed power to convert poor foreigners into Americans.
Business groups are now providing campaign aid to 11 of the 19 GOP candidates who have signed the pro-amnesty “Discharge Petition,” with the tacit approval of Speaker Ryan. One of the 20 GOP signers of the petition has already resigned from Congress.

GOP leaders are not trying to block the discharge petition, said Jenks. “I have watched for far too many years the leaders of both parties shut down discharge petitions in a heartbeat with [the withdrawal of] campaign financing and committee chairmanships. It has happened over and over for decades, yet is not happening here.”
However, “I believe Steve Scalise is the only member of the leadership who is actually trying to get a more conservative solution,” said Jenks. “If [Majority Leader’] Kevin McCarthy want to stop the discharge petition, he could stop it in a heartbeat … Scalise does not have those tools— he does not have the ability to cut off funding, so he is doing what he can.”
If the GOP signature-count gets to 25, then the business-first Republicans will ally with all 193 Democrats to pass their amnesty bill out of the House, likely in June or early July. The complicated vote is expected to allow many GOP legislators to vote for a doomed pro-American bill — giving them a campaign-trailed talking point — before allowing them to vote for and pass a disguised amnesty bill.
Even if the business groups gather more than 25 GOP amnesty supporters, Ryan has the power to block the floor vote. So far, he has not publicly threatened to block the floor, or even to deny campaign aid and committee assignments to the 19 Republicans as they split the party before the November election.
Ryan has long supported the hiring of cheap foreign workers in place of middle-class Americans.
The combination of Trump’s stronger immigration-enforcement push and the growing economy is delivering higher wages and overtime to many employees, including African-American bakers in Chicago, Latino restaurant workers in Monterey, Calif., disabled people in Missouri, high-schoolers, the construction industry, Superbowl workers, the garment industry, and workers at small businesses, and even Warren Buffett’s railroad workers.
The rising wages in a good economy are a growing concern for Democratic planners, but Ryan offered investors a raise in the supply of workers by forcing passage of farm bill which cuts food stamps. Scalise endorsed the policy of forcing people to work, saying:
If you want to be on welfare, it should be a safety net — if you are able to work, you should not be on welfare.
We need to get work requirements in welfare because now companies are looking to hire people. Why should people that are able-bodied sitting at home getting taxpayer money when they could be out in the workforce and become part of the American dream?
The 2018 tax bill is providing companies with extra funds to invest in new projects. Some that money will go to Americans employees via higher wages in a high-pressure/low-immigration economy — unless Ryan can also supply business with imported workers for the extra jobs created by the tax cuts.
The proposed amnesty bill may fail, along with the many prior amnesty bills pushed by Ryan and others.
Amnesty advocates rely on business-funded “Nation of Immigrants” push-polls to show apparent voter support for immigration and immigrants.
The alternative “choice” polls reveal most voters’ often-ignored preference that CEOs should hire Americans at decent wages before hiring migrants. Those Americans include many blue-collar Blacks, Latinos, and people who hide their opinions from pollsters. Similarly, the 2018 polls show that GOP voters are far more concerned about migration — more properly, the economics of migration — than they are concerned about illegal migration and MS-13, taxes, or the return of Rep. Nancy Pelosi.
Four million Americans turn 18 each year and begin looking for good jobs in the free market.
The Washington-imposed economic policy of mass-immigration floods the market with foreign labor, spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries for manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees. It also drives up real estate prices, widens wealth-gaps, reduces high-tech investment, increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids’ schools and college education, pushes Americans away from high-tech careers, and sidelines at least 5 million marginalized Americans and their families, including many who are now struggling with opioid addictions.

Conventional wisdom says that Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is heavily favored to be the establishment Republican choice to lead the chamber if the GOP holds on in November’s midterm elections. But many conservatives want a choice, and 114 leaders signed a letter asking for Jim Jordan to be the alternative.
“The present House Republican leadership has proven that it’s part of ‘the Swamp.’ Consequently, a vote to promote any member of today’s House GOP leadership is a vote for the Swamp,” the letter begins. “It’s time to Clean House.”
Jordan for Speaker Letter by Breitbart News on Scribd
“There must be a real race for Speaker of the House,” the letter continues. “Now. No backroom deals. A real race, starting this spring, to make every incumbent and candidate commit on the record, as a campaign issue, whether they’ll vote to save the Swamp or drain it.”
“America needs you to declare yourself as a candidate for Speaker at once,” the conservative leaders say to Jordan. “We write to you on behalf of millions of Americans who want Congress to drain the Swamp.”
The letter lays out the polling data on how many Americans are frustrated with both parties and makes the case for why a non-establishment Speaker candidate is needed to motivate the Republican base and intrigue moderate voters to believe that change is available.
These conservative leaders continue:
You must take the lead. You have demonstrated over your years on Capitol Hill an unwavering commitment to our constitutional liberties and conservative principles of free market economics, budgetary discipline, traditional values and a strong national defense. You have worked to drain the Swamp, not fill it further. And we all know what the current House Republican leadership really thinks of you and those who share your beliefs. You have established a record of responsible leadership of the kind our times demand.
“The present House Republican leadership has failed,” the letter concludes. “It is part of the problem. You are the solution. This is your moment. We pray you will seize it, knowing that if you do, we will do everything we can to help you succeed.”
The first signatory is Edwin Meese III, who was the counselor to the president for President Reagan’s first term and the 75th U.S. attorney general during Reagan’s second term.
The letter continues with some leaders who focus on the full range of conservative policy and political issues, including:
The letter also has leaders from economic conservative organizations, including Jenny Beth Martin from Tea Party Patriots and Adam Brandon from FreedomWorks.
Various social conservative leaders likewise signed it, including Kelly Shackelford from First Liberty Institute, Morton Blackwell from the Weyrich Lunch, and Sandy Rios from the American Family Association.
National security conservatives also supported the letter, including Frank Gaffney from the Center for Security Policy and Elaine Donnelly from the Center for Military Readiness.
These leaders and their organizations know that a widespread display of support could potentially catapult Jordan into the Speaker’s office, with some hoping as a fallback that it could, at a minimum, lead to a power-sharing arrangement that gives constitutional conservatives a seat at the table.
The election for Speaker will occur in January 2019 when the new Congress is sworn in after the November midterm election.

The New York Post writes:
Halper made his first overture when he met with Page at a British symposium. The two remained in regular contact for more than a year, meeting at Halper’s Virginia farm and in Washington, DC, as well as exchanging emails.
The professor met with Trump campaign co-chair Sam Clovis in late August, offering his services as a foreign-policy adviser, The Washington Post reported Friday, without naming the academic.
…
Days later, Halper contacted Papadopoulos by e-mail. The professor offered the young and inexperienced campaign aide $3,000 and an all-expenses-paid trip to London, ostensibly to write a paper about energy in the eastern Mediterranean region.
Here are a few fast facts about Halper’s history in politics.
Got His Start in Nixon/Ford Years
The Stanford and Oxford-educated Halper started his career in government in 1971 as a member of President Richard Nixon’s Domestic Policy Council. The foreign policy expert served as the Office of Management and Budget’s Assistant Director of Management and Evaluation Division between 1973-1974. Halper then served as an assistant to all three of President Gerald Ford’s Chief of Staffs — Alexander Haig, Donald Rumsfeld, and Dick Cheney — until 1977.
Accused of Leading a Spy Ring Inside Jimmy Carter’s Presidential Campaign
The Reagan-Bush presidential campaign hired Halper to serve as Director of Policy Coordination in 1980 and would later be embroiled in the Debategate affair, a scandal in which CIA operatives were accused of leaking the Carter campaign’s foreign policy positions to the Republican ticket.
The Intercept’s Glenn Greenwald reports:
Four decades ago, Halper was responsible for a long-forgotten spying scandal involving the 1980 election, in which the Reagan campaign – using CIA officials managed by Halper, reportedly under the direction of former CIA Director and then-Vice-Presidential candidate George H.W. Bush – got caught running a spying operation from inside the Carter administration. The plot involved CIA operatives passing classified information about Carter’s foreign policy to Reagan campaign officials in order to ensure the Reagan campaign knew of any foreign policy decisions that Carter was considering.
Halper also worked as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs during President Ronald Reagan’s first term.
Had a Stint as a Bank Executive
In 1984, Halper was chairman of three financial institutions — National Bank of Northern Virginia, Palmer National Bank, and George Washington National Bank. White House official Oliver North wired loaned funds from the Palmer National Bank to a Swiss bank account, which were later used to aid the contras.
Believed Hillary Clinton Would Be a Better Steward for U.S.-UK Relations
In March 2016, Halper told Russia’s Sputnik News that he believed then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton would prove to be a steadier hand in preserving the “special relationship” enjoyed by the United States and Britain.
“I believe Clinton would be best for US-UK relations and for relations with the European Union. Clinton is well-known, deeply experienced and predictable. US-UK relations will remain steady regardless of the winner although Clinton will be less disruptive over time,” Halper said.

From The Hill:
The “deep state” is in a deep state of desperation. With little time left before the Justice Department inspector general’s report becomes public, and with special counsel Robert Mueller having failed to bring down Donald Trump after a year of trying, they know a reckoning is coming.
At this point, there is little doubt that the highest echelons of the FBI and the Justice Department broke their own rules to end the Hillary Clinton “matter,” but we can expect the inspector general to document what was done or, more pointedly, not done. It is hard to see how a year-long investigation of this won’t come down hard on former FBI Director James Comey and perhaps even former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who definitely wasn’t playing mahjong in a secret “no aides allowed” meeting with former President Clinton on a Phoenix airport tarmac.
With this report on the way and congressional investigators beginning to zero in on the lack of hard, verified evidence for starting the Trump probe, current and former intelligence and Justice Department officials are dumping everything they can think of to save their reputations.
But it is backfiring. They started by telling the story of Alexander Downer, an Australian diplomat, as having remembered a bar conversation with George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign. But how did the FBI know they should talk to him? That’s left out of their narrative. Downer’s signature appears on a $25 million contribution to the Clinton Foundation. You don’t need much imagination to figure that he was close with Clinton Foundation operatives who relayed information to the State Department, which then called the FBI to complete the loop. This wasn’t intelligence. It was likely opposition research from the start.
In no way would a fourth-hand report from a Maltese professor justify wholesale targeting of four or five members of the Trump campaign. It took Christopher Steele, with his funding concealed through false campaign filings, to be incredibly successful at creating a vast echo chamber around his unverified, fanciful dossier, bouncing it back and forth between the press and the FBI so it appeared that there were multiple sources all coming to the same conclusion.

I don’t know about you, but for me, the names of James Comey and Robert Mueller have become symbolic of a delusional paranoia to where I am continuously overwhelmed by a chronic persecution complex as though these two were following me around everywhere I go – mind you, not nice at all. Time to go to the shrink maybe. To add insult to injury, as far as I am concerned, every day there seems to be a new twist in the infamous investigation of the alleged collusion of Donald Trump with Russia in the interference of the latter with the 2016 Presidential elections.

President Donald Trump released a message on Sunday commemorating Cuban Independence Day and took aim at the country’s communist regime.
The United States held control over Cuba following the Spanish-American War, however, it became an independent country on May 20, 1902. In 1959, Communists led by Fidel Castro took control of the country.
"The twentieth of May marks the celebration of Cuban independence won by patriots who wished for individual freedom and the right of self-determination, both of which have been tragically snuffed out by a tired Communist regime," the message said. "Regardless, the brave people of Cuba continue to work—under continued oppression and extraordinarily difficult circumstances—to provide for their families and to restore human and civil rights."
The messaged honored the Cuban leaders that led Cuba to its independence.
"The names of great Cuban leaders who fought for independence, such as José Martí and Antonio Maceo, echo through history alongside names like Washington and Jefferson," the message said. "The legacy of these leaders continues to inspire and encourage all peoples to remain committed to the fight for democracy and the restoration of political, economic, and religious freedoms."
Trump finished his message saying he hopes for Cuba to be free again.
"To the people of Cuba who yearn for true freedom, and to the Cuban-Americans who reside in the United States, Melania and I send our warmest wishes. On this special day, we remember the Cuban patriots who lit a flame of freedom that will never be fully extinguished as long as men and women can dream of a better tomorrow," Trump’s message said. "Let us recommit ourselves to a better, freer future for the Cuban people."
Former President Barack Obama worked to reestablish formal relations between the United States and Cuba, by making a presidential visit and by opening an embassy in Cuba. However, there have been attacks on American diplomats at the embassy in Cuba and human rights have yet to improve for the Cuban people.
The post Trump Administration Pays Tribute on Cuban Independence Day, Knocks Communist Regime appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.

Parents of students at an elite New York city public school are outraged over a student’s request over the school’s PA system for a moment of silence to remember Hamas members killed in an attack on Israel’s border last week.
New York Post:
The school-wide announcement Tuesday stunned some students and has outraged parents who question why the school is entering into the divisive Palestinian-Israeli conflict with what they see as an anti-Jewish bent.
“I am extremely upset because I did not send my child to a New York City public school to pray for Hamas operatives,” said one father, who is Jewish.
Violence erupted along Israel’s border with Gaza Monday on the same day as the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem. A Hamas leader said two days later that 50 of the 62 people killed belonged to the militant Islamic group which rules Gaza, and the rest were “from the people.”
The US, which has labeled Hamas a terrorist organization, has stood by Israel in the wake of the killings and criticism of the Israeli response.
“I just don’t think any school should be promoting a moment of silence for terrorists. What if it was Islamic terrorists in ISIS?” said one student’s mother, who is Jewish. “No school would be having that over the loudspeaker.”
No one can be that ignorant, can they? Hamas admitted that 50 of the dead were members of the terrorist group.

“As a Jewish student, I could see a lot of my Jewish friends get very weird when the moment of silence started,” Sophie Steinberg, a junior from Brooklyn, said about Tuesday’s tribute.
“They don’t know how to feel. They don’t know how to fit into all of this.” Steinberg said the contemplative moment was not out of place at Beacon.
“I think that’s Beacon’s nature — to not be divisive but to bring up the things that no one wants to talk about,” she said.
The principal at the school, Ruth Lacy, has refused all comment to the media and refuses to explain how a student was allowed to commandeer the PA system for the purpose of honoring terrorists.
She has also been unresponsive to parents queries about the incident.
Maybe she hopes it will all go away if she ignores it. Who knows? She might have even put the student up to it. Anything is possible when a deducated leftist is placed in a position where they can influence young minds.
I know what my reaction would have been; I would have immediately called for the principal’s resignation and suspended the student who made the rancid announcement.
Instead, the teacher is likely to be celebrated on the left and the kid who called for a moment of silence to feel sorry for 50 dead terrorists will become a hero.
