As Paul Ryan Allows 21 Turncoats
to Push Amnesty Rep Gosar Calls for Him Leave Now
by rickwells.us
{ rickwells.us } ~ Twenty-one turncoat Republicans have sold out the American people and have committed to support the illegal squatter amnesty scheme of Rep Jeff Denham... joining with Democrats in passing a DACA bill of some type. It’s being done with the tacit, covert approval of Speaker Paul Ryan, who could put a stop to it any time he wanted to by simply withholding campaign funding. But Ryan serves those same corporate establishment masters so he’s sitting quietly on the sidelines as the GOP pro-amnesty congressional rebellion grows. But there’s another rebellion that is starting to gain momentum, one that is representing the wishes of the American people in defying the corrupt Speaker Ryan. Freedom Caucus member Rep Paul Gosar of Arizona is the first to prominently call for Ryan to resign his position. After reading the list of 21 traitors to the United States, Dobbs congratulates Gosar for his courage and standing up for what is right and the citizens of this nation. He notes that the Goodlatte Bill which was supposed to have already been offered up and which has not, is being watered down by Ryan, McCarthy, Scalise and the rest of the establishment sellouts and lobbyist puppets. Gosar points out that Paul Ryan’s heir apparent would already be speaker but he doesn’t have the support... https://rickwells.us/ryan-21-amnesty-gosar-leave/.Democrats Resurrect the Worst Talking Point in Politics
by Alex Griswold
{ freebeacon.com } ~ There is nothing more tiresome in Washington than the eternal circle of hypocrisy that comes when the branches of government change hands... What was once presidential overreach and legislating by fiat becomes praiseworthy initiative taking. What was once obstruction becomes #resistance. Former deficit hawks pass trillion dollar bills. The filibuster goes from an outdated usurpation of the voters' will to a time-honored consensus builder. The most tired example of this phenomenon is the perennial election-year complaint that gas prices are going up and obviously it's the fault of the president. This talking point dates all the way back in the Nixon and Carter administrations, but Democrats perfected the attack when Bush 43 was president and Republicans reclaimed it when liar-nObama took office. Now it's evidently Democrats' turn again. The Daily Beast reports Monday that they plan to make rising gas prices the centerpiece of their summer election-year attacks against President Donald Trump. Already Chuck clown-Schumer has taken to the Senate floor to attack Trump on the issue, blaming the price increases on his decision to pull out of the Iran deal an Iran deal clown-Schumer supposedly opposes, but good luck figuring that one out....
State Department Issues Health Alert
in China After Suspected Sonic Attack
by Mary Chastain
{ legalinsurrection.com } ~ First Cuba. Now China. The State Department has issued a health alert for U.S. citizens in China after a U.S. employee... who worked in Guangzhou, suffered a brain injury after he “reported subtle and vague, but abnormal, sensations of sound and pressure.” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said this attack is consistent with those in Cuba. From CNN: US officials have issued a health alert in China following the incident. Additionally, the US State Department is looking into whether the incident is similar to what happened in Cuba in 2016 and 2017, a US diplomatic official told CNN, which the US government characterized as a “sonic attack.” That incident led to a reduction in staffing at the US Embassy in Havana. The official who fell ill was assigned to the city of Guangzhou in southern China and reported a range of physical symptoms from late 2017 through to April 2018, the State Department said. The employee was sent back to the United States for assessment...Despite Devastating Israeli Attack,
Iran Continues Build-Up in Syria
by Yochanan Visser
{ israeltoday.co.il } ~ Israel Air Force Commander Maj.-Gen. Amikam Norkin on Tuesday revealed Israel is continuing to conduct airstrikes in Syria... after the major confrontation with the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps in the war-torn country on the night of May 10. Norkin also presented new information about what exactly happened in the hours-long clash between the IAF and the Iranians that night, which an Israeli eyewitness who spoke with Israel Today on condition of anonymity described as being like a scene from “Star Wars.” Norkin told a gathering of international air force chiefs in Herzliya that Israel has maintained its freedom of action over Syria, and stressed: “Israel will continue to work with determination to thwart the entrenchment of Iran in Syria and the arming of Hezbollah.”....
New reports from Afghanistan give false hopes for peace
by BILL ROGGIO
{ longwarjournal.org } ~ As US, European, and Afghan officials cling to the idea that the Taliban will negotiate a peace settlement to end the war in Afghanistan... a recent string of news articles would lead you to believe that the Taliban is actually willing to reach a compromise. However, these stories are highly misleading and give false hope that an end to this 17-year conflict is in sight. The Taliban’s leadership isn’t at all interested in making peace with – let alone sharing power with – an Afghan government that it considers to be an un-Islamic stooge of Western powers. The Taliban has repeatedly ignored and rebuffed the Afghan government’s peace offers, as it considers the Afghan government a pawn of the West. The Taliban has stated time and time again that it is its religious obligation to wage jihad, or holy war, in order to eject the occupying forces and re-establish the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, the name of the Taliban’s government. When the Taliban has previously discussed negotiations, it always has two preconditions to talks: the withdrawal of foreign forces and the return of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. To put it more simply, the Taliban’s negotiating position is: first the West and the Afghan government surrender, then we’ll talk...
No Conservative or Republican Professors Wanted
by Culture Beat: So just how bad is leftist bias at America’s places of higher education? Well, according to a recent study from the National Association of Scholars, the imbalance of Democrats to Republicans among college faculty is worse than originally thought. While it’s no secret that America’s universities have for decades been more heavily populated with leftist professors than conservatives, the current situation can only be described as absolute domination. Forget the notion that conservative professors represent a minority, in nearly eight out of 10 of the nation’s leading liberal arts colleges, Republican faculty are simply non-existent. According to the study’s author, Mitchell Langbert, 78.2% of academic departments have either zero or so few Republican professors as to make no difference. Langbert further explains: My sample of 8,688 tenure track, Ph.D.–holding professors from fifty-one of the sixty-six top ranked liberal arts colleges in the U.S. News 2017 report consists of 5,197, or 59.8 percent, who are registered either Republican or Democrat. The mean Democratic-to-Republican ratio (D:R) across the sample is 10.4:1, but because of an anomaly in the definition of what constitutes a liberal arts college in the U.S. News survey, I include two military colleges, West Point and Annapolis.1 If these are excluded, the D:R ratio is a whopping 12.7:1.
Not surprisingly, Langbert found that the disparity between Democrat and Republican faculty was greatest in the fields of the social sciences and humanities, while less so in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. That said, even in those STEM fields the disparity heavily favored Democrats.
Langbert noted that over the decades the trend among faculty toward the Left has only increased. “More than a decade ago,” he said, “Stanley Rothman and colleagues provided evidence that while 39 percent of the professoriate on average described itself as Left in 1984, 72 percent did so in 1999.” And it is quite apparent that the disparity has only increased. Langbert further observed, “Political homogeneity is problematic because it biases research and teaching and reduces academic credibility.” The most ironic aspect of this study is that academic leftists fancy themselves the leading proponents and defenders of diversity. ~The Patriot Post
