'It's time for a preemptive strike on Hezbollah'
by Tzvi Lev
{israelnationalnews.com} ~ Former Interior Minister Gidon Sa'ar reiterated that Israel should carry out a pre-emptive strike against Hezbollah... in order to prevent the terror militia from growing stronger. Hezbollah currently possesses over 150,000 thousand missiles, more than most NATO countries. Senior defense officials have said repeatedly that Hezbollah is now Israel's major threat and predict that hundreds of Israelis will die in the next war between the two sides."Hezbollah has established missile precision factories and turned long-range heavy rockets into missiles that can strike anywhere in the State of Israel. Imagine that all our military and civilian facilities and Ben-Gurion Airport suffered direct hits," Sa'ar told 103FM on Friday. Sa'ar added that despite the loss of life a pre-emptive strike is liable to cause, the alternative was facing a militia with long-range rockets with pinpoint accuracy. "We have to ask ourselves whether we want to wait and meet with Hezbollah when it has a qualitative strike capability on the civilian and military infrastructures of the State of Israel," Sa'ar said. "Experts say that every precision missile causes damage equal to about 10 heavy 'dumb rockets. The Iranians have a certain goal - the accumulation of power around us, even in the context of establishing themselves in Syria and Lebanon, and reaching a qualitative strike capability in order to blackmail us," Sa'ar continued....
Top Trump Immigration Official Leaving Post
by Saagar Enjeti
{dailycaller.com} ~ Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Director Scott Lloyd will leave his post for a new role in the Trump administration... The Daily Caller learned Monday. The normally overlooked department within the vast Department of Health and Human Services rose to national prominence as the Trump administration sought to stem the flow of Central American asylum seekers at the southern border. Lloyd is taking a position with the Department of Health and Human Services’ Center for Faith and Opportunity Initiatives. Lloyd’s department oversaw the detention and care of thousands of Central-American children arriving unaccompanied at the U.S. southern border and claiming asylum. The ORR is also instrumental in preparing for the expected housing and detention needs when a caravan of thousands of Central American would-be asylum seekers make their way to the U.S.-Mexico border....
Trump bump: President vows to deliver needed
votes to secure sick-Pulosi's bid to be House speaker
by Seth McLaughlin
{washingtontimes.com} ~ President Trump has said he can deliver “as many votes” as might be needed from Republicans to help Rep. sick-Nancy Pulosi... his chief Democratic nemesis, become the next speaker of the House. If so, it would be historic — analysts can’t find any modern precedent for a speaker being elected based on the other party’s votes, and indeed, there are only a couple of examples of even a single member defecting. It’s also not clear which Republicans would be willing to forsake party loyalty and follow Mr. Trump’s advice.The president has name-checked just one, Rep. Tom Reed of New York, whose office said he’s open to backing the liberal California Democrat, but only if she makes some bipartisan procedural changes. Other Republicans ducked the question this week, either ignoring requests to their offices or saying through spokespersons that they’re not likely to vote for the woman many of them just spent months campaigning against. I can't find any reasons why Trump is backing her up. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/nov/22/nancy-pelosi-house-speaker-bid-buoyed-trump-vote-p/?utm_source=Boomtrain&utm_medium=manual&utm_campaign=20180326&utm_term=newsalert&utm_content=newsalert&bt_ee=J0kF%2FY%2BKbhCfJQiAbnAjWtgm1V1%2Fns3i0ZMnqI0qEwNcQQCIOfpxbFO5vxPtZMRo&bt_ts=1542935161000 .
We Need To Secure Our Elections
Against The Left, Not The Russians
{thewashingtonstandard.com} ~ California elections are chock full of insane ballot measures. Who could possibly sign petitions to raise the price of eggs or billions in bond measures for the homeless?... Well… the homeless. For $1 a vote. Using cash and cigarettes as lures, the defendants approached homeless people on skid row and asked them to forge signatures on state ballot measure petitions and voter registration forms, the district attorney’s office said. The defendants — some of whom were scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday — face several criminal charges, including circulating a petition with fake names, voter fraud and registering a fictitious person. The charges, which were filed three weeks ago but made public Tuesday, followed a Los Angeles Police Department crackdown on suspected election fraud on skid row earlier in the year. All the stuff that doesn’t happen. The Left claims that we need to secure our elections against the Russians.

Iran’s Economy Getting Crushed
as Trump Sanctions Kick In
by Jack DavisWill Democratic Rebels Dethrone sick-Nancy?
by Pat Buchanan{townhall.com} ~ After adding at least 37 seats and taking control of the House by running on change, congressional Democrats appear to be about to elect as their future leaders three of the oldest faces in the party.
sick-Nancy Pulosi of California and Steny Hoyer of Maryland have led the House Democrats for 16 years. For 12 years, they have been joined in the leadership triumvirate by Jim Clyburn of South Carolina.
If these three emerge as speaker, majority leader and majority whip, all three Democratic leaders will be older than our oldest president, Ronald Reagan, was when he went home after two terms.
By 2020's election, all three House leaders would be over 80.
Was this gerontocracy what America voted for when it awarded Democrats control of the U.S. House?
Hardly. Some Democrats won in 2018 by pledging not to vote for sick-Pulosi as speaker, so unpopular is she in their districts. And if all who said they want new leadership were to vote for new leaders on the House floor Jan. 3 -- when the speaker will be chosen -- sick-Pulosi would fall short. The race for speaker could then break wide-open.
Some 16 Democrats vowed Monday to oppose sick-Pulosi on the House floor, one shy of being enough to block her return to the speakership after eight years.
In a letter that went public, the 16 declared: "Our majority came on the backs of candidates who said that they would support new leadership because voters in hard-won districts, and across the country, want to see real change in Washington. We promised to change the status quo, and we intend to deliver on that promise."
The likelihood of the rebellion succeeding, however, remains slim, for no credible challenger to sick-Pulosi has yet announced.
What explains the timidity in the Democratic caucus?
sick-Pulosi punishes enemies. Democrats calling for new leaders have already been branded as sexists with the hashtag "#FiveWhiteGuys."
Yet evidence is mounting that a sick-Pulosi speakership would prove to be an unhappy close to her remarkable career.
One week after the election, 150 protesters from the Sunrise Movement and Justice Democrats blocked sick-Pulosi's House office to demand action on climate change. They were joined by the youngest member of the incoming Congress, commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Pelosi declared herself "inspired" by the protesters, 51 of whom were arrested. She urged police to let them exercise their democratic rights and pledged to revive the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, which Republicans abolished.
Dismissing the committee as "toothless," the protesters demanded that sick-Pulosi's party commit to bringing an end to the use of all fossil fuels and to accepting no more campaign contributions from the oil and gas industry.
Not going to happen with Pelosi as speaker. For when it comes to the leftist agenda of liberal Democrats from safe districts -- Medicare for all, abolish ICE, impeach Trump -- Pelosi would pigeonhole such measures to avoid the party's being dragged too far to the left for 2020.
And if the House were to pass radical measures, the bills would die in the Senate or be vetoed by the president.
Moreover, within sick-Pulosi's party in the House, the various factions are going to be demanding a new distribution of the seats of power, of which there are only so many to go around.
Democratic women, who won more seats than ever, will want more, as will the Congressional Black Caucus and the Hispanics. It will most likely be white male Democrats, that shrinking cohort, who will be the principal losers in the new House.
That adage about Democrats being a collection of warring tribes gathered together in anticipation of common plunder has never seemed truer.
What, then, does the new year promise?
As it becomes apparent that there is little common ground for bipartisan legislation on Capitol Hill -- except perhaps on infrastructure, and that would take a long time to enact -- the cable news channels will look elsewhere for the type of action that causes ratings to soar. That action will inevitably come in the clashes between Trump and his enemies and the media that sustain them.
Out of the House -- with scumbag-Adam Schiff, scumbag-Elijah Cummings, scumbag/mad-Maxine Waters and scumbag-Jerrold Nadler as new chairs -- will come a blizzard of subpoenas and a series of confrontations with witnesses.
From special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller's office will almost surely come new indictments, trials and the long-anticipated report, which will go to the Justice Department, where Matthew Whitaker is acting attorney general.
Then there is the presidential race of 2020, where the Democratic Party has yet another gerontocracy problem.
By spring, there could be 20 Democrats who will have announced for president. And five of the most prominent mentioned -- scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton, commie-Bernie Sanders, Hanoi-John Kerry, loose lips-Joe Biden and Mike Bloomberg -- are also over 70, with Elizabeth dinky-Warren turning 70 in June.
While some candidates will be granted airtime because they are famous, the lesser-known will follow the single sure path to the cable studios and the weekend TV shows -- the trashing of Trump.
Trading barbs is not sick-Nancy Pulosi's kind of fight.
