Mark Levin: Trump Isn’t ‘Provoking a Damn Thing’ with Iran

MARK LEVIN: We’re starting to get propaganda, it sounds like Iranian propaganda coming from the mouths of Americans — Americans who should know better. They ask you, ” Can you point to one example where Iran committed a terrorist act?” I can point to many, but let me start with 1984. Beirut, Lebanon, Hezbollah, which is the terror militia wing of Iran blew up our Marine barracks. Two truck bombs killed over 250 Americans, most of whom were Marines. That was Iran. Iran was behind that. Stop apologizing for Iran.

What I hear tonight, and what I’m hearing throughout the day, is a bunch of people who are embracing Jimmy Carter’s foreign policy of appeasement, of distraction, of excuses, of spin. You can embrace Jimmy Carter’s foreign policy a wild failure, or you can embrace Ronald Reagan’s foreign policy, a wild success. I’m also hearing, maybe it’s coming from Iran, China, Russia, or North Korea, a clear campaign against John Bolton. John Bolton hasn’t done anything, he is a national security advisor and advises the president of the United States. I’m sure China and Russia and North Korea and Iran love it when they hear hosts and others trashing John Bolton part of a massive propaganda effort. The president of the United States is a strong leader, he will listen to advice from many people, he will make the decision. These attacks on Bolton, including leaks coming out of the White House are a disgrace, absolute disgrace.

SEAN HANNITY: It’s not about that, Mark, you and I have discussed this at length. You were chief of staff for a great attorney general, he worked in Reagan administration, a man by the name of Ed Meese. The point here that I’m making is, peace through strength is our only option. But you and I have both watched now wars started, then politicized and then we say “nevermind.” I’d personally like to see the next generation of sophisticated technology and weaponry where we don’t have to send kids there to fight and to do what’s necessary from here.

LEVIN: Let me tell everybody a secret. It’s a very big world and their are very many genocidal maniacs out there. From the head of red China to the head of Russia to the head of North Korea, to the head of Iran. And I just got started. We’re not the problem, we’re not the ones who instigate wars and I’m sick and tired of hearing people on cable TV and other words suggest the president of the United States is provoking anything. We’re not provoking a damn thing.

In fact, we never provoke anything. You know why we went into Afghanistan? Because that’s where 9/11 was hatched. That’s where we were attacked. And don’t tell me Iraq is the reason not to deal with Iran. One has nothing to do with the other. And the world’s always going to be evil. Sometimes their will be war, sometimes their won’t. Sometimes their will be military action, sometimes their won’t. The word here to keep in mind is prudence, not ideology from the Code Pink Republicans and the hard-left who sound alike. Not the radical interventionists — prudence.

Satanic Temple Member Opens Government Meeting in Alaska with “Hail Satan” – Prompting Officials to Walk Out

A member of the Satanic Temple opened a government meeting in Soldotna, Alaska by declaring “Hail Satan” which prompted over a dozen officials to walk out.

Thanks to policy changes forced by the anti-American ACLU, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled that Satanists are now able to offer ‘prayers’ before government meetings.

Fox News reported:

The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly’s previous policy stated that those delivering the invocation must be a member of a recognized church, but the rules were changed last October when Alaska’s Supreme Court decided in favor of the ACLU that the policy was unconstitutional, according to Alaskan Public Media.

Iris Fontana, the Satanic Temple member, was one of the plaintiffs in the case. An atheist and a Jewish woman were also involved in the lawsuit.

“Let’s cast aside our differences, to use reason, logic, science and compassion to create solutions for the greater good of our community,” Fontana said at the end of the invocation. “It is done. Hail Satan. Thank you.”

Several people walked out of the meeting, according to a local reporter for the Peninsula Clarion.

“God will be pleased with our public prayers of reparation,” a man who flew from Pennsylvania for the event told KSRM radio. “We want God’s blessings on America, not Satan’s curses. Lucifer is the eternal loser. Let’s keep him out.”

Recall, Obama’s IRS expedited granting tax-exempt status to The Reason Alliance which is a Massachusetts group that worships Satan and created an after school Satanic club for elementary schools. They received their tax-exempt status by the IRS within 10 days of applying while Tea Party and Christian groups waited years.

The IRS also recently gave the Satanic Temple tax-exempt status, identifying it as a “church.” This is why Satanists are now able to invoke “Satan” at government meetings.

How Dangerous is Fake News?

How Dangerous is Fake News?When President Trump declares that much of the news coverage regarding him and his administration is “fake news” or that the media ignores negative stories regarding Democrats, the evidence suggests he’s correct. But is it all that important?

Did you know that last week two hundred illegal immigrants originating from the Congo, that were picked up by border patrol agents, have tested positive for the deadly and highly contagious Ebola virus or that a company whistleblower announced that YouTube has been placing millions of subliminal anti-Trump messages in a variety of videos?  You most certainly did not.  But nearly every American has heard of President Donald Trump colluding with Russia and calling all Mexicans rapists or of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulting women even though these events never took place and were concocted out of thin air.

Are Democrats Coming Full Circle Regarding Their Crimes of Slavery?

Are Democrats Coming Full Circle Regarding Their Crimes of SlaveryDemocrat Party contenders vying for their Party’s acceptance to be the nominee to run against President Trump in 2020 are making as much noise as possible in clamoring for attention to become the “chosen one.” Arguably, the “Democratic” National Committee may have a different game plan from 2016 when they anointed Hillary Clinton as “the one” to win, and stiffed good old Bernie Sanders. At least, this year there appears to be a new game plan that is comparable to a free-for-all among the twenty-odd contenders. But, with all the campaign promises being offered to a gullible public, it must be hard for the contestants to formulate their own brand in a way to stand out from the rest of the pack of wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Levin: ‘Stop apologizing for Iran’ because ‘we’re not provoking a damn thing’

LevinTV host Mark Levin appeared on Fox News’ “Hannity” show Thursday night and went on a impassioned diatribe against the idea that President Donald Trump and his advisers are somehow trying to kick off a war with Iran.

“We’re starting to get, now, propaganda,” Levin began. “It sounds like Iranian propaganda coming out of the mouths of Americans — Americans who should know better.”

Levin reminded viewers of Iran’s long and bloody history of state-sponsored terrorism, including the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Lebanon.

“Stop apologizing for Iran,” Levin said. “What I hear tonight and what I’m hearing throughout the day is a bunch of people who are embracing Jimmy Carter’s foreign policy of appeasement, of distraction, of excuses, of spin.”

“You can embrace Jimmy Carter’s foreign policy, a wild failure,” Levin continued, “or you can embrace Ronald Reagan’s foreign policy, a wild success.”

Levin also took issue with what he called a “concerted” and “clear campaign against” national security adviser John Bolton and its efforts to paint the adviser as a warmonger on the issue, calling the accusations an “absolute disgrace.”

“John Bolton hasn’t done anything,” Levin said. “He’s the national security adviser. He advises the president of the United States. I’m sure China and Russia and North Korea and Iran love it when they hear hosts and others trashing John Bolton.”

Later in the show, Levin also tore into the idea that President Trump is somehow trying to provoke armed conflict with Iran amid the escalating tensions.

“We’re not the problem. We’re not the ones who instigate wars, and I’m sick and tired of hearing people on cable TV and other words suggest the president of the United States is provoking anything,” Levin said. “We’re not provoking a damn thing. In fact, we never provoke anything.”

“The world’s always going to be evil,” Levin concluded. “Sometimes there will be war; sometimes there won’t. Sometimes there will be military action; sometimes there won’t. The word here to keep in mind is prudence, not ideology from the ‘Code Pink Republicans‘ and the hard Left, who sound alike, not the radical interventionists. Prudence.”

President Trump tweeted Friday morning that he actually called off a planned retaliation strike against the Islamist country the night before.

BREAKING: Special Prosecutor Approved In Smollett Case, Can Reinstate Charges

A Cook County, Illinois judge has ruled that a special prosecutor should be appointed to investigate the alleged hate crime hoax case involving actor Jussie Smollett, which would allow charges to be reinstated against Smollett.

CBS News Chicago reported that the judge made the ruling because “Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx had no authority to hand [the case] off to her top deputy after announcing she recused herself.”

TMZ noted that the judge “used a nautical metaphor to describe the screw-ups” made by Foxx’s office, saying, “There was no master on the bridge to guide the ship as it floundered through unchartered waters. And it ultimately lost its bearings.”

“Smollett’s case in many ways was truly unique,” Judge Michael Toomin said, according to reporter Megan Crepeau. “A case that purported to have been brought and supervised by a prosecutor authorized to serve in the stead of the duly elected state’s attorney but in fact who was appointed to a fictitious office.”

Crepeau added: “The special prosecutor may further prosecute Smollett, and if they have ‘reasonable grounds to believe that any other criminal offense was committed … special prosecutor may commence the prosecution of any crime as may be suspected.'”

Anthony Guglielmi, Chief Communications Officer for the Chicago Police Department, tweeted: “We stand firmly behind the work of detectives in investigating the fabricated incident reported by Jussie Smollett & #ChicagoPolice will fully cooperate with the court appointed special prosecutor.”

Obama-Appointed Judge Blocks ICE Arresting Illegal Immigrants At Courthouses

On Thursday, a federal judge blocked ICE agents from arresting illegal immigrants in Massachusetts if the immigrants are inside the courthouse, entering it or exiting it. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, stated in her preliminary injunction that the court “ORDERS that Defendants” ICE and the acting Director Matthew T. Albence and ICE’s Todd M. Lyons in Boston along with the federal Department of Homeland Security stop any ‘civil immigration actions inside courthouses,’” according to the Boston Herald.

Near the end of April, Suffolk District Attorney Rachael Rollins and Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan announced they were filing a lawsuit targeting ICE, the Department of Homeland Security, Kevin McAleenan, Homeland Security’s Acting Secretary, Albence, and Todd M. Lyons, the Acting Field Office Director for ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations.

Rollins boasted “it would be my honor” to face arrest from federal agents for her opposition to ICE. She attacked ICE for arresting illegal immigrants near or in courthouses, saying, “That is an assault on our justice system. Not one person in our Commonwealth is safer because of that practice. ICE’s policy is undermining the work of the justice system as a whole. Prosecutors are forced to abandon cases because many victims and witnesses are deterred from appearing in court. The policy also makes it more difficult to obtain defendants appearance in court.”

As The Boston Herald reported, on the same day Rollins and Ryan announced their lawsuit, ICE arrested two illegal immigrants in two Suffolk, Massachusetts, courthouses, one linked to MS-13 and other to the 18th Street gang.

Shortly after that, in May, President Trump spoke of Rollins and Ryan, saying, “These are people that probably don’t mind crime; they don’t mind what’s going on. You look at MS-13, they say in the world there’s nothing more evil. These are some very, very bad people. To try and protect them, I don’t think so … They are protecting people that in many cases, and certainly not in all cases, but in many cases are very dangerous people and you say why? What are they doing this for? What’s the game?”

The lawsuit from Rollins and Ryan stated:

For the last two years, officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) have patrolled Massachusetts state courthouses—including courtrooms, hallways, clerk’s offices, parking lots and front steps— following, arresting, and detaining those they believe violated federal civil, not criminal, law. In the face of widespread opposition to this practice, ICE has not only refused to stop it, but has issued a formal Directive authorizing such civil courthouse arrests.

ICE’s Directive, and its widespread practice of conducting civil arrests in state courthouses, are unprecedented in American history. Indeed, the U.S. Supreme Court and the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court have long recognized a privilege against civil arrests for those attending court on official business—a privilege that traces its roots back to English common law, and rests on the common-sense principle that the judicial system cannot function if parties and witnesses fear that their appearance in court will be used as a trap.

The Daily Mail noted, “Under Talwani’s ruling, immigration authorities can still arrest people on civil immigration violations if the person is already in state or federal custody, like when a defendant is brought from a jail to a court hearing. It also doesn’t prevent ICE from making criminal arrests.”

Not everyone was pleased to see President Trump’s restraint.

The NeverTrump crowd who have opposed Trump since the beginning were especially upset with the President’s restraint.

High School Mulls Spending $600,000 To Remove George Washington Murals Because They ‘Traumatize’ Students

A high school in San Francisco is now weighing three options to get rid of what they consider a terribly politically incorrect set of murals of America’s first president, George Washington.

The plans come with astronomical costs: Cover the murals up with a curtain — at a stunning cost of $300,000 — paint over them at $600,000, or cover them up with paneling at $875,000.

Activists argue that two 83-year-old murals are offensive to Native Americans and African-Americans and claim they “traumatizes students and community members.”

A San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) working group says the artwork “glorifies slavery, genocide, colonization, manifest destiny, white supremacy, oppression” and “doesn’t represent SFUSD values of social justice, diversity, united, student-centered.”

“Two of the thirteen panels in the mural series have come under fire since the 1960’s for their controversial depictions of African-Americans and Native Americans,” the Richmond District Blog writes.

In one mural, entitled “Mount Vernon”, George Washington appears to be in conversation with another Caucasian man who gestures towards a seated African-American man holding corn, presumably a slave. In other parts of the mural, African-Americans are engaged in acts of manual labor like hauling large bales of hay and picking cotton in the fields, while Caucasian men are also laboring at other tasks with tools. Washington’s servant, who is pictured holding his horse, is also African-American. The mural is a clear depiction of slavery in the United States, and of George Washington as a slave owner.

The second panel, entitled “Westward Vision,” depicts Benjamin Franklin and other founding fathers looking at George Washington as he points off in the distance, while he points with his other hand to a map. On the right side of the mural, as if carrying out Washington’s call for westward expansion, frontiersmen, depicted in greyscale unlike other figures in the mural, stand over the dead body of a Native American man, signifying the genocide of Native American life and culture.

In the bottom right of the “Westward Vision” panel, a frontiersman and Native American chief sit at a campfire smoking a peace pipe. On the ground at the chief’s feet is a tomahawk, symbolizing the disarming of Native tribes. Directly above the Chief’s headdress is a broken tree limb representing broken treaties made by the U.S. government with Native Americans, and broken promises made by settlers.

Reason magazine noted that the murals were intended to be controversial. “The truth is that George Washington High School’s mural is provocative by design. It was painted in 1936 by a Russian-American artist named Victor Arnautoff, who held leftist sympathies. Arnautoff did not wish to blindly celebrate Washington while ignoring the less savory aspects of the American founding, and thus he depicted the first president working his slaves and sending men to confiscate Native American lands. It was an attempt to remind students that history is a lot messier than what they read in class,” wrote Robby Soave.

“He put those ghastly gray pioneers literally walking over the dead body of an Indian to demonstrate that the settlement of the west was an act of conquest that involved the slaughter of Native Americans,” Robert Cherny, a San Francisco State University professor, told the school district’s board of education in 2018. “That was a very bold effort on his part to counter the kinds of textbooks that students were seeing.”

Soave noted that some people who attended a public hearing on the matter don’t seem to understand what a school does. ” ‘Why do we have to explain the pain caused by the visual offense that we see in that building that is supposed to be an institution for learning?’ asked one woman at a public meeting about the issue on Tuesday. ‘It’s not in a museum, it’s inside a school,’ lamented another speaker, who apparently did not understand the point of a school. ‘Our students, all of them, deserve better,’ ” Soave wrote.

Historian Fergus M. Bordewich told The College Fix in May that it is “a deeply wrongheaded habit to project today’s norms, values, ideals backwards in time to find our ancestors inevitably falling short.”

“It betrays a very troubling intolerance of art and the ambiguity of art and the aspirations of art,” he said. “It’s incredibly stupid if we try to erase history. It still happened, and you should argue about its meanings.”
