For over a year now, Democrats and their liberal media allies have incessantly crowed about baseless and unproven allegations of “collusion” between then-candidate Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia during the 2016 election.

Those still unverified allegations spurred numerous different investigations into the matter dating back to 2016. Now, as the media-driven narrative continues to crumble by the day, it has been revealed that the FBI under the Obama administration may have planted an informant in the campaign to find collusion-related dirt on Trump.

That story was part of a discussion Tuesday morning on “Fox & Friends” with House Intelligence Committee chair Devin Nunes, who once again reiterated that there remains “no credible evidence” of any collusion between Trump and Russia.

Nunes began the conversation by noting that Glenn Simpson — founder of Fusion GPS, the political opposition research firm hired by Democrats to compile the anti-Trump dossier — had testified under oath to the committee, and later confirmed, that he was aware of a “source” within the campaign.

Nunes was asked what it would mean if there had indeed been a “spy” embedded in the campaign, to which he replied, “It will look badly on the Department of Justice and FBI on how they conducted this investigation.”

Co-host Steve Doocy pointed out that if the entire investigation had stemmed from information provided by a “secret source” embedded in the campaign, that would call into question the entire Trump-Russia collusion narrative and the resulting investigation.

“I think if the campaign was somehow set up, I think that would be a problem,” Nunes responded. “If there were somehow meetings that occurred and all this was a setup, because we have yet to see any credible evidence or intelligence that led to the opening of this investigation.”

Doocy remarked that it sounded an awful lot like what Nunes had described would mean that Trump had been “framed,” an assessment Nunes didn’t necessarily dismiss or disagree with.

“First of all, I believe (the FBI) never should have opened a counterintelligence investigation into a political party,” Nunes stated. “Counterintelligence investigations are — very rarely do they happen, and when they do happen, you have to be very careful because you are using the tools of our intelligence services and relationships with other countries in order to spy on a political campaign … probably not a good idea.”

The conversation then shifted to a meeting Nunes and House Oversight Committee chair Trey Gowdy recently held with top DOJ officials in regard to sensitive information the committees were seeking about the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, as well as an upcoming follow-up meeting on the same topic.

Recall that Nunes had to resort to a threatened impeachment of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in order to even facilitate that meeting, much less actually see the sensitive documents that had been requested.

Nunes made it clear that there weren’t any hard feelings on his part toward Rosenstein and suggested the deputy attorney general had a chance to clear up a lot of the confusion about how the whole investigation was started without revealing sensitive sources and methods.

Co-host Brian Kilmeade then noted that Trump had been “hamstrung by a process” for nearly two years. This process is preventing Trump from moving forward as president with his agenda, Kilmeade said.

Nunes replied, “Well, if they never had any evidence of colluding with Russians then you have to ask yourself why did they open this investigation in the first place.”

Once again, for the umpteenth time, it has been publicly stated that after nearly two years of investigations, no evidence has been found to support the allegations of collusion between Trump and Russia.

The only logical explanation left means the entire Trump-Russia investigation was a political hit job by Democrats to try and keep their opponent out of office, or get him impeached once he was actually elected.

Though China, a major trading partner of the United States, is skeptically regarded as more of a friendly rival than a bitter enemy, it must be remembered that the nation is still ruled by a ruthless communist regime.

China’s totalitarian tendencies can be seen in how it’s leaned on Hollywood not to portray the nation poorly in movies. Moreover, China recently demanded that U.S.-based air carriers adopt the regime’s “Orwellian nonsense” with regard to language used to describe disputed territories like Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, according to Politico.

Now, China’s authoritarian bent has compelled clothing retail outlet Gap to issue an apology to the communist regime for having the gall to produce and sell T-shirts featuring a map of the nation that failed to include all of the disputed territories to which China lays claim, according to The Daily Caller News Foundation.

At issue was the fact that the map on the T-shirt failed to include the mountainous region of Tibet, the semi-autonomous breakaway island of Taiwan and the various islands in the South China Sea that the commies have claimed as their own.

The “geographical mistake” caused an uproar on China’s version of Twitter, known as Weibo, which prompted Gap to pull the item in question from their stores in the country.

Incredibly, Reuters even noted that the picture of the offending shirt which caused the uproar in the first place was actually taken at a Gap store in Canada, not in China.

“We were informed the design of a Chinese map on a Gap T-shirt sold in some overseas markets was incorrect,” the retail outlet said Tuesday in an official statement. “The product has been withdrawn from the Chinese market and completely destroyed.”

“Gap Inc. respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China. We’ve learned that a Gap brand T-shirt sold in some overseas markets failed to reflect the correct map of China. We sincerely apologize for this unintentional error,” the statement added.

While it would appear that Gap “respects the sovereignty and integrity” of what China claims as its territory, the same cannot be said for the “sovereignty and integrity” of those territories that dispute the claimed ownership of China, such as Taiwan and Tibet.

Consider Taiwan, which is largely populated by nationalists who fled the communist regime imposed decades ago by Mao Tse Tung. Today, the Tawainese have asserted themselves as an independent and sovereign nation of their own.

Recall the uproar that ensued and the hurt feelings that needed soothing when then-president-elect Donald Trump actually called the president of Taiwan, an incident that was framed as an affront to China by that nation’s commie apologists in the liberal U.S. media.

Then there is Tibet, a small nation nestled among the Himalayan mountain range, a portion of which China has claimed as part of its own massive country.

Despite long-standing claims of independence by Tibet, the country has been ruthlessly subjugated against its will over the years by the harsh impositions of China.

This “mistake” and subsequent apology by Gap would be the equivalent of a clothing company in the late 1980s or early 1990s printing, selling and then withdrawing a shirt featuring a map of Soviet Russia that failed to include all of the other Soviet republics that were in the process of breaking away from the decades-long totalitarian grip of Moscow.

Essentially, a U.S.-based retailer that enjoys the fruits of capitalism just bowed to the whims of a communist regime that ruthlessly stifles any hint of free thought in those territories they oppress. Gap shouldn’t have apologized. Instead they should have printed more of the “offensive” shirts promoting freedom, independence and self-determination in the face of authoritarianism.

Pedophiles are using a livestreaming app to lure underage girls into performing sex acts and distributing the explicit material of the girls as child pornography, according to a report.

KTTV reported that the pedophiles are using Live.Me, a popular Chinese livestreaming app, to feature streams of girls as young as seven or eight years old being manipulated into performing sex acts online.

The terms and conditions on Live.Me’s website state that children under the age of 13 are prohibited from using the app.

But KTTV investigated dozens of live streams posted on the website and found many of them featured underage girls.

One stream depicted an underage girl singing. When one viewer warned the girl in the comments to be wary of pedophiles, the pedophiles showed up in the video seconds later. Other girls took off their clothes at their viewers’ request.

Dr. Lisa Strohman, a practicing clinical psychologist and former FBI agent, called the site “a prostitution platform” for young women.

“I did homicidal pedophilia at the bureau, so I’ve seen a lot of really terrible things, but this terrifies me,” Dr. Strohman said. “For me, it’s like a prostitution platform, or turning into one.”

“It’s very clear these girls are creating sexualized dances in order to elicit a response,” she added. “They wanna get prices from people that they can turn into money.”

Chris Pavan, a computer forensics expert, told KTTV that other pedophiles not in the videos are also exploiting these young girls.

“The screen captures are being recorded to their computers,” Pavan said. “They’ll edit it down; they’ll generate something that is viewable by pretty much anybody’s computer, and then they upload it to a file-sharing site where an individual who wants to consume it can download it and has to pay some money for that file.”

Live.Me is not the only website where pedophiles prey on young children. Pedophiles are also using more mainstream social networking apps such as Snapchat to exploit minors for sex.

Establishment Republicans are trying to beat populist GOP primary rivals by mimicking President Donald Trump’s pro-American immigration arguments, says a top editor at the Atlantic magazine.

In the May primaries, candidates “aggressively … sought to coopt these arguments,” writes Ronald Brownstein, the Atlantic‘s editorial director for strategic partnerships. He continued:

If there was a major GOP candidate in these primaries who did not loudly declare their support for building Trump’s border wall, I didn’t see it. Likewise, every major GOP candidate pledged to crack down on so-called “sanctuary cities,” which limit their cooperation with federal immigration-enforcement officials, and several pledged to constrict legal immigration.

The trend towards populist migration policies is nationwide, Brownstein laments in his article, which is titled “The Eroding GOP Resistance to Trump’s Immigration Agenda”:

… relatively more mainstream Republican candidates are holding off the anti-immigration vanguard by accepting much of their agenda. Only a handful of prominent Republicans, such as Arizona Senators Jeff Flake and John McCain, still publicly dissent. “There is not an obvious set of leaders to put a break on this,” said Simon Rosenberg, the founder of the Democratic advocacy group NDN, who has long studied the impact of demographic change on both parties.

Especially striking is that Republicans are stampeding toward this harder line not just in Rustbelt states like Ohio, West Virginia, and Indiana—which have few immigrants and little diversity. They’re also doing so in the Southwest states, where there are growing Latino and Asian American populations. Texas Governor Greg Abbot has signed legislation to punish sanctuary cities. At last weekend’s California Republican state convention, delegates flocked to a session encouraging local governments to join the Trump administration’s lawsuit against the state’s sanctuary law. And the Arizona Senate primary has been a race to the right on immigration.

However, Brownstein mistakes the establishment’s virtue-signaling about illegal immigration for support of Trump’s populist policies.

Trump’s four-part reforms go far beyond simply enforcing the popular laws against CEOs hiring illegal migrants.

His popular reforms include reducing the level of immigration by ending the visa lottery and chain-migration program, fixing the many loopholes that are used by migrants, cheap-labor employers, and their allied politicians to reduce Americans’ wages and salaries. He wants to build the wall to block crime and illegal migration, and also to celebrate Americans’ borders and distinctiveness in a world where globalists enforce “diversity” to erase national democracies, culture, economies and communities’ political clout.

Those populist policies have been embraced by some GOP primary winners, including populists in West Virginia and North Carolina, but are just mimicked by establishment GOP candidates.

Trump’s focus on imported labor, wages, and salaries is still taboo for establishment politicians. Instead, the establishment lines up with business groups to preserve the federal government’s economic strategy of growth-via-mass-immigration.

That economic policy has a had a huge impact on Americans since the 1990s, because it grows Wall Street and real-estate prices while also stalling or shrinking income for the vast majority of Americans and legal immigrants. In practice, mass immigration is an economic policy which shifts wealth from the young and poor to the old and wealthy.

The strength of that economic agenda is made clear by the establishment’s refusal to fight for Trump’s four-part reform agenda, or even to fund the border wall. In February 2018, for example, 14 business-first GOP Senators voted against Trump’s election-winning reforms. On May 11, House Speaker Paul Ryan claimed business is suffering from a labor shortage, called for a DACA amnesty without any reductions in chain-migration or ending the visa-lottery — and without any increase in wages.

Brownstein depicts those establishment GOP politicians as “mainstream Republicans” in line with skewed “Nation of Immigrants” push-polls:

polls consistently show that significantly more Americans believe immigration strengthens, rather than weakens, the country; the margin was greater than 2 to 1, for instance, in an NBC/Wall Street Journal survey released last September.

But 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.

Unsurprisingly, the establishment media is doing its best to downplay the establishment’s closed-door fight to preserve the mass-migration economic strategy.

Brownstein declares, “the party has now clearly surrendered the wheel to Trump,” but the GOP leaders’ actions show they are still stepping on the brake as hard as they dare.

 

Four million Americans turn 18 each year and begin looking for good jobs in the free market.

But the federal government inflates the supply of new labor by annually accepting roughly 1.1 million new legal immigrants, by providing work-permits to roughly 3 million resident foreigners, and by doing little to block the employment of roughly 8 million illegal immigrants.

The Washington-imposed economic policy of economic growth via mass-immigration shifts wealth from young people towards older people, it 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.
