Don’t Fall for China’s Global Baloney
by Matthew Continetti
{freebeacon.com} ~ It’s rather sickening to watch self-described liberals embrace China as a responsible power. The headline on the cover of this week’s Economist, which I now read solely to find out what is not the case, is “China: the global grown-up.”... The Washington Post purports to explain “Why China will be able to sell itself as the last liberal great power.” These articles, besides being wrong, have the distinction of following the line set by Beijing itself: “China may lead globalization movement,” says propaganda outlet CCTV. How one can argue that a Communist oligarchy that practices mercantilism and industrial and diplomatic espionage, builds islands in contravention of international law, disappears lawyers and writers critical of the regime, feeds its people a steady diet of ethno-nationalist propaganda, threatens America’s allies, enables the North Korean psycho-state, recently sailed its aircraft carrier through the Taiwan Strait, massively censors the Internet, and has some of the worst air pollution in the world is “liberal” in any sense of the term is beyond me...

Trump-Hating Protestors,
Deceit and Willful Blindness
by MICHAEL CUTLER
by MICHAEL CUTLER
{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ On January 20, 2017, the very same day that President Donald J. Trump was inaugurated, protestors who opposed Trump's election and his campaign promises took to the streets in Washington, DC and elsewhere... They falsely equated securing America's borders and enforcing our immigration laws with bigotry and racism. The protestors carried signs with a variety of slogans including a slogan favored by liar- Hillary Clinton during her failed bid for the presidency, "Build bridges, not walls." Where were these protestors when liar-nObama violated the Constitution, released hundreds of thousands of criminal aliens, commuted the sentences of record numbers of drug dealers and ignored the findings of the 9/11 Commission and imported millions of foreign workers to take Americans' jobs?... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/trump-hating-protestors-deceit-and-willful-blindness?f=must_reads

What These Burqa-Clad Muslims JUST DID In
Michigan Proves Trump Was Right All Along
by William Smith
{gopthedailydose.com} ~ The city of Dearborn, Michigan has completely been taken over by Muslim migrants in the last few years. Now, things have gotten to the point where Muslims are quickly becoming the majority in Dearborn... and they are reportedly trying to make the locals submit to Shariah law. The disturbing video below is pro-Islamic propaganda out of Dearborn. After watching it, you’ll be especially thankful that Donald Trump won this election, because he might just be the only person who can stop these Muslims from taking over all of America…This came after Dennis Michael Lynch released a video that shows an in depth look at Dearborn, and it’s downright disturbing. In the footage, a stunned Lynch comes to the conclusion that being in Dearborn doesn’t even feel like being in America anymore since there are so many foreign Muslims there... http://gopthedailydose.com/2017/01/26/burqa-clad-muslims-just-michigan-proves-trump-right-along-video/

U.S. Border Patrol: Trump’s
Border Wall Is EXACTLY What We Need
by Ildefonso Ortiz
{breitbart.com} ~ The head of one of America’s largest Border Patrol union locals came out for President Trump’s proposed border wall in an interview with Breitbart, saying that it “will be effective.”... Hector Garza is president of National Border Patrol Council Local 2455 in Laredo, Texas, as well as a Border Patrol agent himself. He told Breitbart he welcomes a president who is willing to address problems with illegal immigration, even if the physical wall that the Trump administration erects does cover every foot of ground between the U.S. and Mexico. “During the previous administration, we had a president that failed to acknowledge the problems on the border. Now, we have a president that not only acknowledges the problems, but is willing to give us the tools needed to address them.” Perhaps more important than the wall is the Trump administration’s decision to end the “catch-and-release” policy of the liar-nObama administration, that sometimes put dangerous criminals free on the streets of America...

Texas Officials Warn of ISIS
Threat to U.S.-Mexican Border
by John Rossomando
by John Rossomando
{investigativeproject.org} ~ A report by the Texas Department of Public Safety raises concerns about ISIS terrorists using the Mexican border both to enter and leave the country. It noted that at least 13 aspiring terrorists have tried to cross the Mexican border, or considered trying, since 2012... Most of the people who tried to sneak over the border knew they were on the federal no-fly list, the report said. Sneaking across the southern border "presents an opportunity for increasing numbers of aspiring foreign terrorist fighters to evade US interdiction efforts such as the No-Fly List." The most recent example happened in October. Texas authorities arrested two Milwaukee men near San Angelo, Texas on the way to the Mexican border. Jason Ludke, 35, and Yosvany Padilla-Conde, 30, wanted to go to Mexico, obtain fraudulent travel documents and travel to join ISIS in Syria or Iraq... http://www.investigativeproject.org/5764/texas-officials-warns-of-isis-threat-to-us

Reinstate Lt. Col. Terry Lakin!
by Jack Cashil
{wnd.com} ~ A White House petition was launched the day after Donald Trump’s inauguration to “reinstate Lt. Col. Terry Lakin into the U.S. Army with full rank, pay, benefits and pension immediately.”
“Court-martialed, imprisoned, expelled from the Army and denied pay, pension and benefits,” declares the petition accurately, “Terry was merely following his officer’s oath and constitutional duty.”
For the record, Lakin spent five months in prison at Fort Leavenworth before his release in May of 2011. Lakin’s crime – his real crime, that is – was to challenge Barack liar-nObama’s constitutional eligibility to be president.
I believe it was his pending release as much as Trump’s raising of the eligibility issue that forced liar-nObama to produce something resembling a birth certificate.
Lakin never claimed to know where President liar-nObama was born or whether he was eligible. The problem, as Lakin saw it, was that no one knew.
As an Army officer, one sworn “to support and defend the Constitution,” he felt an obligation to pursue the truth.
I got to know Terry through helping him with his memoir, “Officer’s Oath.” If the U.S. Army has a more decent or dedicated officer than this 17-year veteran flight surgeon and father of three, I have yet to meet that person.
For more than a year, Lakin plied all regular channels to get at the facts. He had no intention of becoming a martyr to the cause, but in 2010 he received deployment orders to Afghanistan. Said the order: “Bring five (5) copies of your birth certificate.”
For Lakin, that did it. If he had to produce a birth certificate to deploy, liar-nObama needed one to send him.
By refusing deployment – he had already served in Afghanistan and Bosnia – Lakin hoped to take advantage of military due process to resolve the eligibility question.
He did not succeed. The media brought no pressure to bear on his behalf. To the degree the media noticed, they ridiculed him. Our progressive friends had finally found a military protester they could not embrace.
Of all his hardship deployments, Bosnia included, Lakin’s exile to Leavenworth was easily the hardest.
After he bid a tearful farewell to his wife and three young children, his military minders chained his hands together and attached those chains to a band around his waist.
They chained his legs and attached those, too. They then loaded him into a van and drove him to Reagan National.
There, Lakin endured his ultimate humiliation, a seemingly endless perp walk, a shuffle really, through a concourse filled with flags and patriotic bunting and the happy sight of returning soldiers.
None of the display had lost its appeal, but Lakin could not overlook the irony of his being chained and bound amidst it all.
Thanks to a deepening Christian faith and an abiding love for his country, Lakin manfully survived the ordeal and emerged a stronger person for it.
That he gave up $2 million in benefits and left his lovely family behind for prison should have further endeared him to our generally weepy progressive friends, but, of course, it did no such thing.
In 2011, when Lakin was released, they had a president to elect. All justice, all sympathy, all honesty be damned.
Upon his release, Lakin applied for a license to practice medicine in Kansas, but the Kansas Board of Healing Arts turned him down.
The Kansas Board may have indulged outlaw abortionist George Tiller for 30 years, but this timid crew was unnerved by the thought of this veteran flight surgeon practicing medicine in this doctor-short state, impeccable record notwithstanding.
For the last five years, Lakin has been serving as an ER doctor in Colorado. He has no regrets for the action he took, but his supporters, myself included, are eager to see justice done on his behalf.
