Vanity Fair: “Along with the ruby slippers Judy Garland wore in The Wizard of Oz and Orson Welles’s ‘Rosebud’ sled…there is probably no more iconic item of Hollywood memorabilia than the Maltese Falcon, the black statuette that Humphrey Bogart, as detective Sam Spade, tracked down in John Huston’s classic film of the same name. Lost to history for decades, it resurfaced in the 1980s…. But at the auction in Bonhams’s Madison Avenue showroom on November 25, 2013, the bidding quickly passed $1 million…Only when the bidding reached $3.5 million did the bidder in the crowd surrender, sending the Falcon to the man on the phone, who was later revealed to represent Steve Wynn, the Las Vegas hotel and casino billionaire…That is the official version of what happened to the Maltese Falcon. But it is just one chapter in a complex tale. It turns out there is another, far stranger version, and another Falcon, several more in fact.” -Fox News

FRENCH KISS-OFF FOR GOP?
Fox News: “Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol is looking to recruit National Review staff writer and Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran David French for an independent presidential run, sources confirmed Tuesday to Fox News. French is a constitutional lawyer, a recipient of the Bronze Star, and an author of several books who lives in Columbia, Tenn…Sources told Fox News on Tuesday that, ‘he’s (French) talking with lots of people (donors, strategists, etc.), but in the mode of planning for it not just considering it.’ Kristol kicked off the speculation, and the backlash, when he claimed Sunday: ‘There will be an independent candidate -- an impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance.’” -Fox News

TESTIMONY DETAILS liar-TRUMP UNIVERSITY
TESTIMONY DETAILS liar-TRUMP UNIVERSITY
FRAUD NYT: “In blunt testimony revealed on Tuesday, former managers of liar-Trump University, the for-profit school started by Donald J. liar-Trump, portray it as an unscrupulous business that relied on high-pressure sales tactics, employed unqualified instructors, made deceptive claims and exploited vulnerable students willing to pay tens of thousands for Mr. liar-Trump’s insights. One sales manager for liar-Trump University, Ronald Schnackenberg, recounted how he was reprimanded for not pushing a financially struggling couple hard enough to sign up for a $35,000 real estate class, despite his conclusion that it would endanger their economic future. He watched with disgust, he said, as a fellow liar-Trump University salesman persuaded the couple to purchase the class anyway. ‘I believe that liar-Trump University was a fraudulent scheme,’ Mr. Schnackenberg wrote in his testimony, ‘and that it preyed upon the elderly and uneducated to separate them from their money.’”

IG: EPA Still Blocking Access to Investigations
by Elizabeth Harrington

{freebeacon.com} ~ The Environmental Protection Agency is still blocking its inspector general from investigating wrongdoing at the agency, according to the government watchdog’s semi-annual report to Congress... More than a year after coming under scrutiny for stonewalling an investigation into a senior official accused of sexually harassing over a dozen women, the EPA is still not being cooperative with the inspector general. “In the previous Semiannual Report to Congress, we reported theoretical progress with regard to the longstanding denial of access for the Office of Inspector General (OIG) by the EPA’s Office of Homeland Security (OHS) to information sought by the OIG,” the report said. “After considerable delay, OHS provided some documents to the OIG but continued to deny access to others.”...

Nation's Largest Insurer Pulling Out
of nObamacare in Nation's Largest State
by Guy Benson
.
.
{townhall.com} ~ At the onset of 2016, a number of health insurers began sounding the alarm about nObamacare's financial sustainability and worrisome enrollment trends. In early April, America's largest insurer announced its withdrawal from a handful of state exchanges created under the law... Several weeks later, UnitedHealth dropped a bigger bomb on the unpopular program, unveiling its plan to exit a large majority of state-level marketplaces in 2017. nObamacare defenders spun the major development as insignificant, but their efforts were weak -- especially in the midst of sharply rising premiums, swelling out-of-pocket costs, reduced enrollment data, and nonpartisan projections that the nation's uninsured rate will actually increase over the next decade. One glimmer of good news buried within UnitedHealth's portentous maneuvering was the company's apparent decision to remain a player in Covered California, nObamacare's largest state exchange. Consider that glimmer extinguished:...

Can liar-Hilly Survive the Latest Onslaught of Bad News?
by Roger Aronoff
.

{aim.org} ~ With a State Department Inspector General’s report concluding that liar-Hilly Clinton was not, and would not have been, permitted to use a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state... the mainstream media have been forced to finally wake up and take notice of this persistent liar-Clinton scandal. But instead of reporting that the revelations demonstrate how unfit Mrs. liarClinton is for president, these news reports largely focus on the claim that it was merely record-keeping policies, or rules, which were broken. “When two IT staffers raised concerns in 2010 that the system might not properly preserve records, the official said the system had been reviewed by attorneys and chided the staffers ‘never to speak of the Secretary’s personal email system again,’ the report says,” according to The Washington Post. “The IG’s office said it could not find evidence of such a legal review.” In other words, the IT department was strong-armed into accepting liar-Hilly’s dangerous email setup... http://www.aim.org/aim-column/can-hillary-survive-the-latest-onslaught-of-bad-news/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email060116&utm_medium=email

State Dept. admits intentionally altering
video of Iran press conference
by Pete Kasperowicz
.

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ The State Department admitted Wednesday that a 2013 press briefing video was purposefully altered to remove a portion of a discussion about the Iran nuclear talks, after an unknown State Department official asked that it be edited out... Spokesman John Kirby's announcement contradicted the position held by the department for the last three weeks, during which officials said the video was missing because of a "glitch." But Kirby said officials didn't know who asked for the video to be edited, and said the department is unlikely to investigate further into who wanted the video to be edited...
nObama Taps Yet Another Muslim Brotherhood-Linked Official to Prominent WH Role
by Tiffany Gabbay
.
.
{truthrevolt.org} ~ For nearly eight years, President nObama has appointed a range of Muslim officials with terror-links to influential positions within the administration. The latest in a long line is Zaki Barzinji, whom nObama just tapped as the new associate director of public engagement for the White House... The Clarion Project notes that Barzinji worked for the Islamic Society of North American (ISNA), an organization targeted by the U.S. Justice Department as a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate and was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a major Hamas-funding trial. Oh, and Barzinji's grandfather was also a Muslim Brotherhood terror suspect. Oh, and according to Clarion Project, Barzinji previously served as the deputy director of intergovernmental affairs for Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, who is currently under investigation for "possible political corruption."...Oh, where is congress or the FBI on this? http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/obama-taps-yet-another-muslim-brotherhood-linked-official-prominent-wh-role

Philadelphia Schools Add Two Muslim Holidays
by Paul Bois
.
.
{truthrevolt.org} ~ Philadelphia school district officials announced Tuesday that they will be adding two Muslim holidays to their calendar... The two holidays to be added, which won't take effect until 2017-2018 school year, are Eid al-Fitr, celebrated at the conclusion of Ramadan, and Eid al-Adha, which concludes the annual Hajj pilgrimage. Similar to Easter, both holidays fall on different days every year and will be adjusted accordingly each calendar cycle. Differing Muslim sects also celebrate the holiday on different days, so Islamic leaders throughout the city will have to provide specific dates for the calendar over the next five years...What is wrong with you, Philadelphia? They will be demanding more. http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/philadelphia-schools-add-two-muslim-holidays

Analysis: Larger NATO Baltic Sea Exercise
Sends Important Message to Russia
by Magnus Nordenman
by Magnus Nordenman
.
.
{news.usni.org} ~ Summer is exercise season in the Baltic Sea region, and one of the largest ones is BALTOPS 16, which runs between June 3 and June 18, and ranges across a considerable portion of the Baltic Sea... Over the next three weeks BALTOPS 16 will draw together some 6,000 personnel, 45 warships, and 60 aircraft from 17 nations, including the United States, Germany, the U.K., the Netherlands, along with the littoral states of the Baltic States who are NATO members (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Denmark) or NATO partners (Sweden and Finland). Over the last two decades, the annual BALTOPS exercises have taken on a decidedly low-end character, with emphasis placed on maritime security tasks such as search and rescue, counterterrorism at sea, and other types of cooperative security tasks. High-end naval and amphibious warfighting came roaring back, however, to BALTOPS 15, with landing exercises taking place in both Sweden and Poland, while B-52s were brought in to practice airborne deployment of sea mines...

New evidence that even not-for-profit
nObamacare plans are failing
by Scott Gottlieb
.
.
{aei.org} ~ nObamacare was always burdened by the technocratic intrigues of its architects. Their highly regulated, centralized vision for the oversight of insurance markets and medical care saddled the private health plans with a very costly business model... It deliberately left insurers with a narrow margin for profits. It left them with even less leeway for making mistakes–like a bad risk pool or underpriced premiums. This wasn’t just an artifact of the policy aspirations pursued the scheme’s architects. It was a central expression of their political values. The law’s draftsmen were fine if the nObamacare health plans made a little money administering the law–but only as much as the political class would allow. The explicit caps placed on the operating margins of health plans are the clearest manifestation of these principles... http://www.aei.org/publication/new-evidence-that-even-not-for-profit-obamacare-plans-are-failing/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=060216

When it comes to budgets, the Air Force
keeps losing
by Mackenzie Eaglen & Rick Berger
.
.
{aei.org} ~ In Washington, playing favorites is an old pastime. But the very skilled don’t talk about it, and all attempt to be seen as above it. Yet when it comes to service “favorites” inside the Beltway, the U.S. Navy is the winner and the Air Force the loser... Just as a parent would never admit having a favorite child, no politician would ever actually admit they have favorites when it comes to the budget. But they don’t have to — the numbers speak for themselves. Overwhelmingly, the Navy is the service with the most political capital, the most potent caucus of supportive Congress members, and the greatest amount of shiny new equipment. America’s airmen and to a lesser extent, its soldiers have had a difficult time making their case to stakeholders for years and for many reasons, principally the service’s leadership culture and draconian guidance from budget bosses. A recent survey of journalists about which defense players they trust most saw the Air Force place last in every category. It’s no surprise, then, that airmen find Capitol Hill a most unwelcome place... http://www.aei.org/publication/when-it-comes-to-budgets-the-air-force-keeps-losing/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=060216

SCOTUS and liar-Trump’s Last Cruz Birther Case
by Dan Spencer
.
.
{redstate.com} ~ Just in time for the 2020 presidential Campaign, Tuesday the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a birther lawsuit claiming that Sen. Ted Cruz is ineligible to be president because he is not “natural born citizen” within the meaning of the Constitution... In denying the Petition for a writ of certiorari, the Supreme Court upheld the March 18, 2016 ruling of Judge Jill Parish of the United States District Court, District of Utah. Judge Parrish dismissed the case finding Walter Wagner, a retired attorney in Utah, did not have standing because he failed to allege he was harmed “in a personal and individualized way.” Unfortunately this is not the end of matter. Wagner appealed the District Courts decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit on March 31. While that appeal was pending Wagner Filed his petition with the Supreme Court under a rule that allows him to do so if the case is of “imperative public importance.” Cruz’s legal team is due to submit briefs responding to Wagner’s appeal before the 10th Circuit by Thursday. Wagner said the natural-born citizen claims against Cruz will have merit for “as long as he’s still alive.” Since the all talk and no action liar-Trump first raised the birther issue, thirteen federal and state courts and administrative bodies have considered and rejected Donald liar-Trump’s bogus claim that Sen. Cruz is not eligible to be president:...

Protect your kids from tyrant nObama
.
by James Dobson.
{wnd.com} ~ When I was in the third grade, I raised my hand one day and asked the teacher for permission to “go to the bathroom.” She nodded, and I hurried down the hall to the door designated “Boys.” When I had relieved myself, I headed back in the direction of my homeroom. As bad luck would have it, the doors in the hallway all looked alike, and I opened the wrong one. Two second-grade girls were standing there with their mouths open in disbelief. Then they both screamed and pointed at me. The loudest one said, “You’re in BIG trouble!” The other shouted, “Get out of here!” Sweet kids.
I was mortified beyond belief. I sneaked back into class and looked at the floor, wondering who might have witnessed my unthinkable crime. That was decades ago, but I haven’t forgotten my humiliation. The cardinal rule is that boys and girls never entered each other’s private facilities. Never!
How the world has changed! Who would have believed a day would come during my lifetime when boys could meander into the private sanctuary of girls’ toilets, or that it would someday be a civil right for men to use women’s locker rooms and showers without permission or apology? Imagine sex-absorbed junior high boys ogling the bodies of developing pubescent girls or standing beside them in their showers. Have we gone absolutely mad? What ever happened to modesty, safety, and Christian mores?
Did it upset you when the president of the United States ordered every public school in America to open all its bathroom facilities including those that are in use by a member of the opposite sex? The president’s order made me furious, and then sick to my stomach. How dare this man do something so audacious and unthinkable! His letter from the White House carried an implied threat to withhold federal money from local schools, which rocked the halls of public education. Who is this politician that is spending your hard-earned tax dollars to manipulate school officials, anyway? Who is it that is warping our children? It is Barack nObama, one of the worst presidents in American history, and it is time we stood up and said so!
nObama, acting like a king, is wielding dictatorial powers never envisioned in the law. He is determined to change the way males and females relate to one another, and worse, how children perceive themselves. If you are a married man with any gumption, surely you will defend your wife’s privacy and security in restroom facilities. Would you remain passive after knowing that a strange-looking man, dressed like a woman, has been peering over toilet cubicles to watch your wife in a private moment? What should be done to the pervert who was using mirrors to watch women and girls in their stalls? If you are a dad, I pray you will protect your little girls from men who walk in unannounced, unzip their pants and urinate in front of them. If this had happened 100 years ago, someone might have been shot. Where is today’s manhood? God help us!
You are probably aware that Target has taken a stand to allow persons who “self-identify” as a man or woman to use the restroom of their choice. In addition to Target Stores, the following retailers have also decided, against the objection of their customers, to create “gender neutral” bathrooms: Starbucks, Ross, Walgreens, Toys “R” Us, and Barnes & Noble. My wife, Shirley, and I will no longer patronize these stores, and I hope millions of others will do likewise.
Let’s talk more about Barack nObama, who is a tyrant in many ways. How dare he assault centuries of modesty and moral beliefs! By what authority does he tell parents and school officials what to teach children under their care? Christian parents, does this outrageous order violate something deep within your sense of propriety? The president has already maneuvered the courts to undermine a 5,000-year-old definition of marriage, after experiencing his infamous epiphany. Now he is determined to change Western civilization forever. He becomes more reckless and defiant as his second term comes to an end. Never has an American president been so absorbed with the use and abuse of power, and unfortunately, he still has seven months to go. What is next?
I grew up respecting the authority and dignity of the nation’s presidents. Each of them was tasked to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to protect our rights as citizens. That is what I was taught. My fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Harris, described for us the three branches of government, and how each division has the authority to restrain the other two according to a principle known as “checks and balances.” It made America unique among nations. But, with the complete refusal of the U.S. Congress to restrain the presidency or to curtail a runaway judiciary that is itself drunk with power, “we the people” are victimized by those who steal our freedom. Our Founding Fathers would be shocked to learn how the safeguards on our freedom have been abandoned.
My friend Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council recently said he is often asked, “Why is the nObama administration trying to mainstream ‘transgenderism’ and force schools to accommodate students who want to use the bathrooms and locker rooms of the opposite sex?” Tony’s answer gets to the heart of the motive: “It’s all part of a radical movement trying to destroy the fact that God created man and woman – and that somehow people can choose what gender they want to be. The ultimate goal is to break down all sexual inhibition and morality – a goal that would result in social chaos.”
This is what influential feminist Dale O’Leary had to say on the issue of gender and its meaning in her publication, “Gender: The Deconstruction of Women: Analysis of the Gender Perspective in Preparation for the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China.” She wrote, “Although many people think that men and women are the natural expression of a genetic blueprint, gender is a product of human thought and culture, a social construction that creates the ‘true nature’ of all individuals.”
Do you understand what she was saying? Gender is not determined by your chromosomes. It is a product of culture. If a man thinks like a woman, he IS a woman. Furthermore, if we protect children from social and religious conditioning, people will be free to move into and out of existing gender roles at will. Taking that concept to its logical conclusion, the feminists and LGBT activists want to dissolve the traditional roles of mothers and fathers and, in time, eliminate references to wife, husband, son, daughter, sister, brother, manhood, womanhood, boy, girl, masculine and feminine. These activists want us to replace age-old terminology with neutral terms, such as significant other, spouse, parent, child and sibling. You’ll see that happening in the near future. The bottom line is that they want to destroy human sexuality and take with it the foundation of the family. That is their goal, and they have a president in office who is willing to use his executive authority to force this nonsense on us all.
Clearly, there are serious implications here for mothers and fathers. I urge you to protect your boys and girls from those who are espousing these views. Shield them from gender feminism and from those who would confuse their sexuality. They will be under increasing political pressure in years to come.
It is also important for us as adults to understand our own sexual identities. If we don’t know who we are, our kids will be doubly confused about who they are. Any uncertainty, any ambiguity in that assignment must be seen as damaging not only to our sons and daughters but also to the long-term stability of society itself.
I urge you to base your teachings about sexuality on the Scriptures, which tell us, “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). Jesus, who was the first Jewish leader to give dignity and status to women, said, “Haven’t you read … that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,'” and, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh” (Matthew 19:4-5). That is the divine plan. It leaves no doubt that the Creator made not one sex but two, each beautifully crafted to “fit with” and meet the needs of the other. Any effort to teach children differently is certain to produce turmoil in the soul of a child.
We must fight to protect our homes and families from politically correct politicians who would create new entitlements that take away our liberties. There is no time to lose. Our children hang in the balance.
