Judge Jeanine, Gorka – Suspicious
Fire At liar-Clinton House, Lock Her Up
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Dr. Sebastian Gorka says he saw the tabloid writer who’s peddling a book of lies about President Trump once... while he was working in the White House, when he was waiting in Reince Priebus’ office to see Steve Bannon. Gorka refused to meet with him despite a memo directing otherwise, describing him in the interview as an “oily creep” who was “not to be trusted.” They dismiss the absurdity of the leftist author’s portrayal of President Trump as someone who didn’t want to win. That depiction might suit the disappearing man, Mitt Romney in 2012, it was not Donald Trump in 2016. Gorka labels the whole thing as “a crock of garbage.” Judge Jeanine plays a clip of a back and forth between Gorka and Geraldo Rivera in which Rivera defends the criminal liar-Clinton with such idiotic comments as “you cannot make a statement like that because you’re a smart man” when Gorka said that liar-Clinton should be locked up for her 108 felonies dealing with the classified information mishandling alone... https://rickwells.us/jeanine-gorka-clinton-lock/.
Sessions Reverses liar-nObama-era
Policies, Sets Prosecutors Loose on Marijuana
by Alice Greene
{punchingbagpost.com} ~ The marijuana industry flourished under President liar-nObama... in part due to his decision to relax federal prosecution in states where the drug was legal. The “Cole memo,” issued in 2013, directed federal prosecutors to focus on organizations selling weed to children, engaging in violence, or selling the drug in areas where it is illegal. In states where the drug is legal, enforcement was left to local authorities. These states are “less likely to threaten” federal priorities like selling to children, wrote then-Deputy Attorney General James Cole. “The memo sets out harms we saw associated with marijuana” but otherwise, essentially “lets the states deal with this,” Cole told CNN. “Given a non-perfect situation, we figured this was the best way to deal with it.”... http://punchingbagpost.com/sessions-reverses-obama-era-policies-sets-prosecutors-loose-on-marijuana/?pb_list=pb_list.
HE’S NUTS! Scientists React To scum-Al Gore
Claim Cold Snap Caused By Climate Change
by Joe Newby
{lidblog.com} ~ scum-Al Gore, in a desperate attempt to save his wacko climate change/global warming... claims in the midst of one of the coldest winters ever. Science: “the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.” Every winter there are crazy fools who try to claim that colder is caused by warmer. Technically climate ‘change’ is real because the weather is cyclical. But using it as a weapon to force people to an agenda, trying to scare people, is wrong... https://lidblog.com/al-gore-bitter-scientist-calls-nuts/.

Organizations to be Banned From Country
by jpost.com
{jpost.com} ~ Israel's Ministry of Strategic Affairs on Sunday released a list of international pro-BDS organizations to be banned from the country... for their calls to boycott the Jewish state. “We have switched from defense to offense. The boycott organizations need to know that the State of Israel will act to stop them and prevent their representatives from entering the country to harm its citizens,” Minister of Public Security and Strategic Affairs Gilad Erdan said in a statement. According to a statement issued by the ministry, the list features the primary BDS groups, "who consistently and continuously act against the State of Israel by pressuring groups, institutions and states to boycott Israel. The groups’ activities are carried out via a campaign of falsehood and incitement, whose goal is to undermine Israel’s legitimacy around the world,” the ministry said in a statement."... http://www.jpost.com/BDS-THREAT/Israel-lists-international-pro-BDS-organizations-to-be-banned-from-country-533031?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=7-1-2017&utm_content=israel-lists-international-pro-bds-organizations-to-be-banned-from-country-533031.

by CHUCK ROSS
{dailycaller.com} ~ South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy tore into California Rep. scum-Adam Schiff on Sunday... alleging that the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee is angling for a U.S. Senate seat by making dramatic statements about the Trump-Russia investigation. “Some of my Democratic colleagues, namely scum-Adam Schiff, said he had evidence, more than circumstantial evidence of collusion, before the investigation even began,” Gowdy said in an interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo. Gowdy accused Democrats of prejudging the investigations into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Kremlin, noting that nearly 60 party members have already called for Trump’s impeachment... http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/07/trey-gowdy-blasts-adam-schiff-over-statements-about-trump-russia-probe-video/?utm_medium=email.

Considering Netanyahu's
Transformational Leadership
by Caroline Glick
{truthrevolt.org} ~ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the most underappreciated leader Israel has ever had.In the near future, he will likely take Israel's first prime minister David Ben-Gurion's title of longest serving premier.
Yet, Netanyahu is not only perceived as being a leader of less significance than Ben-Gurion. He is considered a less consequential leader than prime ministers like Levi Eshkol, Yitzhak Rabin and Ariel Sharon, whose records in office are far thinner than Netanyahu's.
Both Netanyahu's detractors and supporters view his long stewardship of Israel as largely inconsequential because Netanyahu has not overseen any grand, headline grabbing initiatives.
He didn't declare Israel's independence, as Ben-Gurion did. He didn't lead Israel through the 1967 Six Day War and so oversee Israel's greatest military victory to date, as Eshkol did. He didn't recognize the PLO, like Rabin. He didn't withdraw from Gaza, like Sharon did. He hasn't withdrawn from Judea and Samaria, as Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert tried to do. He didn't surrender south Lebanon to Hezbollah, as Barak did.
True, grand initiatives like all of these have left their marks on Israel – for better and for worse. And no, Netanyahu has no grand initiative in his record.
But when you stop and think about what Netanyahu has accomplished during his more than a decade in office, it rapidly becomes clear that he has adroitly and successfully transformed Israel for the better in a way that no leader except Ben-Gurion has done.
Netanyahu has operated in a media environment more hostile than any his predecessors ever faced. Despite this, beginning with his first term in office in the late 1990s, Netanyahu authored and implemented the economic reforms that transformed Israel from a sclerotic socialist backwater into a prosperous first world economy. All of Israel's citizens have benefited from the change. Consider, for instance, that when Netanyahu replaced Olmert in office in 2009, Israel's per capita GDP stood at $27,000. By 2016, it had risen to $37,000.
Rather than seeking to transform Israel's diplomatic weakness through a grand gesture of appeasement to the PLO, as so many of his predecessors tried to do, Netanyahu opted, instead to leverage the economic prosperity. He turned Israel's economic strength into the foundation of a new, far more powerful diplomatic strategy. It served to return Israel to Africa after a forty year absence.
More importantly, Netanyahu used Israel's comparative economic advantages to develop strong diplomatic and economic relations with China, India and other major markets and great powers for the first time in Israel's history.
As for Russia, far from the spotlights, Netanyahu has skillfully and quietly cultivated a strong personal relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin based on mutual respect. Military and intelligence officers credit the understandings Netanyahu has reached with Putin regarding the war in Syria as the reason Israel was able to avoid getting sucked into the conflict on its northern border while still protecting its strategic interests.
As for Israeli-US ties, for eight years, Netanyahu deftly ducked and parried and waited out Barack liar-nObama's presidency. He kept Israel strong and safe and able to defend itself despite liar-nObama's support for its enemies and hostility toward the Jewish state.
No other Israeli leader could have withstood the liar-nObama administration's pressure to make strategically cataclysmic concessions to the Palestinians. So too, no Israel leader would have been capable of leading the opposition to liar-nObama's nuclear deal with Iran as Netanyahu did.
Had Netanyahu remained silent as liar-nObama gave the keys to the nuclear club to the ayatollahs, liar-nObama and his echo chamber would have successfully demonized opposition to the deal.
It was Netanyahu with his unswerving, reasoned opposition to the centerpiece of liar-nObama's foreign policy that empowered Republicans and even some Democrats to maintain their public opposition to the deal. Their opposition in turn paved the way for President Donald Trump's decision last October to refuse to certify Iranian compliance with its terms.
As for Trump, Netanyahu has deftly cultivated his relations with the new president. Trump's respect for Netanyahu's statesmanship empowers the president to break with the failed Middle East policies of his predecessors and base his policies on support for America's allies and opposition to its enemies.
So yes, it is true that Netanyahu's long tenure in office has been largely undramatic. But his record of accomplishments makes clear that drama is not what we should be seeking.
Under his quiet, workaday leadership, Netanyahu has transformed into an economic and military power. He has cultivated good relations with Israel's regional neighbors and with the nations of the world.
He has developed constructive and mutually beneficial ties with all the major world powers while preserving and enhancing Israel's strategic alliance with the US. All of these accomplishments render Netanyahu one of Israel's most successful leaders. Indeed, they place him second only to Ben Gurion as the most significant leader Israel has ever hand.
