CPAC: Bannon Lays Out the Agenda
On Thursday, Donald Trump's Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and Chief Strategist Stephen Bannon sat down together for a center stage interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). That's significant because the two are often portrayed as being enemies. Rush Limbaugh joked that the Leftmedia anticipated the event as if they "expect fisticuffs to break out." No such luck — the two men first sought to put to rest rumors of a contentious relationship between them. But Bannon, who has not spoken publicly since the inauguration, also seized the opportunity to display his impressive acumen. Bannon usually looks like he just stepped off the shrimp boat and is clearly uncomfortable in a suit, but he's also a former Navy officer, Harvard graduate and successful business man, so clearly he's more than meets the eye. (Besides, Joe loose lips-Biden once described Barack liar-nObama as "articulate and bright and clean" — look what eight years of that got us.)
Bannon laid out three specific goals, reiterating that they were the very goals Trump campaigned on: setting foreign policy aright, rejuvenating the economy, and what Bannon insightfully termed the "deconstruction of the administrative state." On the economy, he elaborated, "We're a nation with an economy — not an economy just in some global marketplace with open borders, but we are a nation with a culture and a reason for being." And as for the immovable bureaucracy, the Leftmedia and leftists in general, he warned, "If you think they're going to give you your country back without a fight, you are sadly mistaken. ... Every day it is going to be a fight." Charles Krauthammer may have summed up Bannon's statements best, stating, "He sort of gave intellectual heft to Trumpism." Bannon's a mover and shaker, alright, but he's not the bogeyman leftists make him out to be.

Dakota Access Final Tally: 750 Arrested, 24,000
Tons of Trash Left, and $1 Million Cleanup Bill
by Bob Adelmann
{thenewamerican.com} ~ So much for “environmentalists” really caring about the environment... The North Dakota Department of Emergency Services (DES) said on Tuesday that a Florida-based clean-up company it hired to clear trash, waste, and debris from the Oceti Sakowin camp protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline has already run up a bill of $1 million after hauling away from the site 24,000 tons of trash, garbage, rotting food, tents, teepees, sleeping bags, dozens of empty propane tanks, human excrement, and several automobiles. They also left behind two dogs and six puppies, apparently abandoned. When The New American reported a month ago on protesters polluting the environment they allegedly claimed to revere, the amount of time, effort, and money it would take to clear the site was understated. Even Dave Archambault, chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation and one of the protest’s leaders, was astonished: “There’s more than anticipated," he stated, "and it’s under a lot of snow. I wouldn’t say it’s going to get done in days; it’s going to take weeks.” That was a month ago and the cleanup continues... https://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/environment/item/25499-dakota-access-final-tally-750-arrested-24-000-tons-of-trash-left-and-1-million-cleanup-bill?utm_source=iContactPro&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TNA+Top+Daily+Headlines&utm_content=TNA+Top+Daily+Headlines+Mar+2+17

Ohio Investigation Reveals Voter Fraud
by Raven Clabough
{thenewamerican.com} ~ Findings from an investigation in Ohio disprove claims that voter fraud is a “myth” or a fabrication resulting from Republican racism, as Democrats allege... According to an announcement from Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, "an investigation has uncovered that hundreds of non-US citizens are registered to vote in the state, and dozens of them voted illegally," NBC News-Columbus reported Monday. "According to a release from Husted, 385 people who are not citizens of the United States are registered to vote in Ohio. Out of those, 82 voted in at least one election in the last year." And this is not the first time Husted’s office has found incidents of voting fraud. In 2013, his office uncovered nearly 300 non-citizens who had registered to vote in Ohio, with 17 having voted that year. In 2015, his office found another 145 registered, amongst whom 27 voted...What do you say now Dems. https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/25501-ohio-investigation-reveals-voter-fraud?utm_source=iContactPro&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TNA+Top+Daily+Headlines

Destroyed! New Order Shuts Down BLM —
Law Enforcement Elated!
by Samantha Roberts
{americandailypatriot.com} ~ When President liar-nObama was first elected, the nation hoped and many presumed that race relations would improve... After all, the country had elected its first African-American president. But after eight years of liar-nObama, we have come to expect to see racism all around us. Some African-Americans and some liberals see it in nearly every police officer. College campuses across the nation are trying to help the rest of the nation recognize when we are experiencing privilege and when others are not... http://americandailypatriot.com/new-order-shuts-down-black-lives-matter/?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=exchange&utm_campaign=patriotjournal&utm_term

Hypocrite Dems Urged Trust For Lying AG Lynch,
Schumer Viciously Attacking Sessions
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Democrats took a much different view of things when their Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, met with the husband of their political candidate, liar-Hillary Clinton, who was under an actual investigation for treason and espionage against the United States... That meeting, which was supposed to have remained a secret, but was conducted in such a manner that word got out, was considered no big deal by the Democrats and their Attorney General above any reproach. Harry dinky-Reid said so, stating to reporters on June 30th, 2016, just three days before her surprise FBI interview and five days before the decision to leave the poor tired career criminal alone by FBI Director Comey. dinky-Reid said, “I can’t control who meets with whom. All I can say is Loretta Lynch is one of the most outstanding human beings I’ve ever known. Her ethics is above reproach. No one could ever question her, her, humph, her strong feelings about the rule of law and her ethics are, I repeat, the best.” He bails out, tossing the microphone to Chuck Schumer, who said, as a fellow New Yorker, “She is an honorable person, we know that...

Lavrov vs. RINO-McCain: Is Russia an Enemy?
by Patrick Buchanan
{freedomsback.com} ~ The founding fathers of the Munich Security Conference, said John RINO-McCain, would be “be alarmed by the turning away from universal values and toward old ties of blood, and race, and sectarianism.”
RINO-McCain was followed by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov who called for a “post-West world order.” Russia has “immense potential” for that said Lavrov, “we’re open for that inasmuch as the U.S. is open.”
Now RINO-McCain is not wrong. Nationalism is an idea whose time has come again. Those “old ties of blood, and race, and sectarianism” do seem everywhere ascendant. But that is a reality we must recognize and deal with. Deploring it will not make it go away.
But what are these “universal values” RINO-McCain is talking about?
Democracy? The free elections in India gave power to Hindu nationalists. In Palestine, Hamas. In Lebanon, Hezbollah. In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood, then overthrown in a military coup welcomed by the world’s oldest and greatest democracy. Have we forgotten it was a democratically elected government we helped to overthrow in Kiev?
Democracy is a bus you get off when it reaches your stop, says Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, autocrat of Ankara, a NATO ally.
Is freedom of religion a “universal value”?
Preach or proselytize for Christianity in much of the Islamic world and you are a candidate for martyrdom. Practice freedom of speech in Xi Jinping’s China and you can wind up in a cell.
As for the Western belief in the equality of all voluntary sexual relations, in some African and Muslim countries, homosexuals are beheaded and adulterers stoned to death.
In Nuristan Province in U.S.-liberated Afghanistan this month, an armed mob of 300 besieged a jail, shot three cops and dragged out an 18-year-old woman who had eloped with her lover to escape an arranged marriage. Beaten by relatives, the girl was shot by an older brother with a hunting rifle and by a younger brother with his AK-47.
Afghan family values.
Her lover was turned over to the husband. An “honor killing,” and, like suicide bombings, not uncommon in a world where many see such actions as commendable in the sight of Allah.
RINO-McCain calls himself an “unapologetic believer in the West” who refuses “to accept that our values are morally equivalent to those of our adversaries.”
Lavrov seemed to be saying this:
Reality requires us here in Munich to recognize that, in the new struggle for the world, Russia and the U.S. are natural allies not natural enemies. Though we may quarrel over Crimea and the Donbass, we are in the same boat. Either we sail together, or sink together.
Does the foreign minister not have a point?
Unlike the Cold War, Moscow does not command a world empire. Though a nuclear superpower still, she is a nation whose GDP is that of Spain and whose population of fewer than 150 million is shrinking. And Russia threatens no U.S. vital interest.
Where America is besieged by millions of illegal immigrants crossing from Mexico, Russia faces to her south 1.3 billion Chinese looking hungrily at resource-rich Siberia and Russia’s Far East.
The China that is pushing America and its allies out of the East and South China Seas is also building a new Silk Road through former Russian and Soviet provinces in Central Asia. With an estimated 16 million Muslims, Russia is threatened by the same terrorists, and is far closer to the Middle East, the source of Sunni terror.
Is Putin’s Russia an enemy, as RINO-McCain seems to believe?
Before we can answer that question, we need to know what the new world struggle is about, who the antagonists are, and what the threats are to us.
If we believe the struggle is for “global democracy” and “human rights,” then that may put Putin on the other side. But how then can we be allies of President el-Sissi of Egypt and Erdogan of Turkey, and the kings, emirs and sultans of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman?
But if the new world struggle is about defending ourselves and our civilization, Russia would appear to be not only a natural ally, but a more critical and powerful one than that crowd in Kiev.
In August 1914, Europe plunged into a 50-month bloodbath over an assassinated archduke. In 1939, Britain and France declared war to keep Poland from having to give up a Prussian port, Danzig, taken from Germany under the duress of a starvation blockade in 1919 and in clear violation of Woodrow Wilson’s Fourteen Points and the Danzigers’ right of self-determination. In the two wars, 50 million to 100 million died.
Today, the United States is confronting Russia, a huge and natural ally, over a peninsula that had belonged to her since the 18th century and is 5,000 miles from the United States.
“We have immense potential that has yet to be tapped into,” volunteered Lavrov. But to deal, we must have “mutual respect.”
Hopefully, President Trump will sound out the Russians, and tune out the Beltway hawks.
