Rep. Maxine Waters grilled Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson on Thursday during the House Financial Services Committee hearing. However, the intention of the hearing was put aside in favor of a baiting scheme Waters obviously thought up in order to try to create dissonance between Carson and President Donald Trump.

Waters wanted to drive a wedge between Carson and the president, and video of the heated exchange proves that she was after one thing and one thing only, to get Carson to admit that he does not agree with the president.

How she went about it was truly shameful. As TheBlaze reported, Waters began by speaking about three tweets Trump had sent out regarding the status of aid in Puerto Rico, she had this to say:

“I had intended to start to talk about the housing crisis that we have,” Waters started, “but since the president was busy tweeting this morning and you referred to HUD’s role in dealing with the hurricane disasters and what you and the administration are doing, this morning Trump threatened to abandon Puerto Rico recovery efforts.”

Waters then read the tweets in which the president stated that this relief effort could not last “forever,” then set her daggers out towards Carson.

“So you talked about what you, HUD, is doing in cooperation with, I guess, the administration,” Waters said pointedly to Carson. “Do you agree with the president?”

Wait, What?! Talk about a long drawn out diatribe just to get to the central thesis of her point, which literally has nothing to do with anything.

When Carson tried to respond, Waters took him for a wild ride.

The way Carson manages to maintain his sincerity, while acting as a living put-down to the California Democrat is truly impressives.

The man is simply unflappable.

Maxine Waters, on the other hand, has seriously lost it. This whole exchange was so clearly a thinly-veiled way to make good on her promise to take Carson’s “A** apart.” It was absolutely shameful.

During a House Homeland Security Committee hearing Thursday, various experts warned that a nuclear electromagnetic pulse bomb attack from North Korea could wipe out the majority of Americans within one year.

The experts specifically testified that such an attack could “shut down the U.S. electric power grid for an indefinite period, leading to the death within a year of up to 90 percent of all Americans,” as quoted by the Washington Examiner.

They noted as well that this threat has become especially dire because of the recent rash of heated rhetoric between the United States and North Korea, as well as the fact the rogue regime has developed the capability to strike the United States mainland with an ICBM.

“It is critical, therefore, that the U.S. national leadership address the EMP threat as a critical and existential issue, and give a high priority to assuring the leadership is engaged and the necessary steps are taken to protect the country from EMP,” they said.

The experts included Frank J. Cilluffo, the director of the Center for Cyber and Homeland Security at George Washington University, and William R. Graham, the former chairman of the since-disbanded EMP commission, as noted by Townhall.

(North Korea isn’t the only foreign police challenge facing the Trump administration. Check out President Donald Trump attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran during a speech at the United Nations last month.)

Among the hightlighs of the testimony Thursday, according to the Examiner: “After massive intelligence failures grossly underestimating North Korea’s long-range missile capabilities, number of nuclear weapons, warhead miniaturization, and proximity to an H-Bomb, the biggest North Korean threat to the U.S. remains unacknowledged — nuclear EMP attack.”

While their testimony was troubling, equally distressing is the fact the commission was shut down last month after being defunded by Congress — and this despite the commission’s highly important mission to study the risks EMP weapons pose to the United States.

In a column for The Hill published after the EMP’s disbanding, American Leadership & Policy Foundation chairman David Stuckenberg noted how dangerous shutting down the panel really was.

“The primary duty of a nation’s government is to ensure the survival of the state and citizens,” he wrote. “Without an EMP advisory group supporting our increasingly distracted leaders, our vulnerabilities will grow, and in time, be exploited.”

The testimony Thursday was evidence of this. The threat of an EMP attack remains very real, and while it’s appreciated that Congress took the time to hear some experts speak about this threat Thursday, they might want to consider bringing the commission back while they’re at it.

A local official in Pennsylvania’s Radnor Township has been arrested after a plethora of child pornography was found on his computers.

66-year-old Democrat Philip Ahr who is the chairman of the township’s board of commissioners and a very creepy character had images of children as young as toddlers which he is accused of trafficking in as well as drooling over.

It seems that just about every headline about sexual perversion leads into a story that reveals the sick individual’s political affiliation to be with the Democratic party. Go figure.

Via Philadelphia ABC affiliate Action News 6 “Radnor Township board chairman faces child porn charges”:

The chairman of Radnor Township’s board of commissioners has been arrested on child porn charges after graphic sexual abuse images involving babies and toddlers were allegedly found on his computers.

Philip Ahr, 66, was charged with child pornography possession and child pornography dissemination, sexual abuse of children, and criminal use of communication facility, the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office said Wednesday.

“The ages of these children is particularly disturbing. Anywhere from infants to 2-4 to 3-6, and all in those different categories,” said District Attorney Jack Whelan. “Very disturbing.”

“A portion of the images and videos depicted sadomasochistic sexual abuse, and children being sexually abused by animals,” the D.A.’s office noted in a news release issued Wednesday morning.

Authorities said the investigation began in late August after they received information from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that Ahr uploaded and shared child pornography.

According to the D.A.’s office, on September 21, investigators executed a search warrant on Ahr’s Bryn Mawr home.

Ahr told investigators he used Yahoo Messenger to sext with unknown individuals, which involved sexual talk about children, the D.A.’s office said.

According to officials, Ahr told detectives that during one of these conversations, an unknown person sent him about a dozen child pornography images of girls who Ahr estimated to be approximately 13-years-old.

Officials said Ahr admitted to detectives that he sent and received images of child porn to and from an individual he was chatting with.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Ahr had previously served as a “mentor” for schoolchildren and received philanthropy award from the principal of a Northwest Philadelphia elementary school.

Authorities will likely throw the book at Mr. Ahr and they damned well should.
