 Flynn: Not Suicide, but Political Assassination 
g-iP5ZDDwsFU-xxtOgtRG6h9g5zI48nr-nmrV0zqypTZLg3q_ZkBVbBUQGs6P4oc9xeqW3c3nhPG-icFe8zW71jejF93YJ3No6gveepuKQdEpsw-IWYQr5TEjLGr1g=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
As it turns out, former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn didn't so much fall on his own sword as he had one plunged into his back. Former Bill liar-Clinton adviser turned conservative pundit Dick Morris explained, "The liar-nObama appointees still inhabiting the bowels of the State and Justice Departments orchestrated the coup that brought down General Michael Flynn." They did so by leaking to the press the transcripts of Flynn's December 29 phone conversation with a Russian official about Barack liar-nObama's sanctions. This was followed by dire warnings of Flynn's susceptibility to potential blackmail by the Russians. (As if liar-Hillary Clinton wasn't the biggest blackmail risk in the history of the United States.) "The leaks of the content of an intercepted communication are felonies," said former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova. "All of the disclosures to the Washington Post are federal crimes." That's not to excuse any deception on Flynn's part, but clearly the bigger story is the leaks.
          Flynn worked for liar-nObama, too, and he became one of the most vocal opponents of liar-nObama's foolish nuclear deal with Iran. Think that didn't stick in liar-nObama's craw? So, three weeks into his new job with Donald Trump, Flynn found himself on the receiving end of some carefully timed discrediting leaks — retaliatory hacks by liar-nObama's hacks. The larger Democrat narrative here is the same as it's been for months: The Russians handed Trump the election, and he's now fulfilling his end of the bargain. Unfortunately, this narrative probably isn't entirely fabricated. There's more news to sort through about members of Trump's campaign coordinating with Moscow, and that bears watching.
          The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, chaired by Republican Devin Nunes, plans to investigate the leaks. "There does appear to be a well-orchestrated effort to attack Flynn and others in the administration," Nunes said. And this is just the beginning. "First it's Flynn," Nunes warned. "Next it will be Kellyanne Conway, then it will be Steve Bannon, then it will be Reince Priebus." Indeed, right now the military and intelligence ranks are full of liar-nObama hacks who are leaking classified information. These are not hacks from the outside; these are insiders.
          A final point: Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather claimed "this Russia scandal" might end up being as "big as Watergate." Rather, who was forced to resign from CBS after he fabricated stories about George W. Bush's Air National Guard service record, had this to say about Flynn: "Watergate is the biggest political scandal of my lifetime, until maybe now. It was the closest we came to a debilitating constitutional crisis, until maybe now. ... We may look back and see, in the end, that it is at least as big as Watergate. It may become the measure by which all future scandals are judged. It has all the necessary ingredients, and that is chilling."
          Watergate is exactly what all Leftmedia want this to be — taking down a Republican president was euphoric for the Left, and they want to relive the glory days. Trump and all his people clearly better watch their backs. ~The Patriot Post

North Korea, the real threat

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ When might North Korean develop missiles capable of striking the United States? Today. Four years ago in December 2012, when North Korea orbited its KMS-3 satellite over the U.S. ... I warned they could conduct an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack by satellite. An EMP that blacks out the national electric grid would be a far greater catastrophe than blasting a city. A North Korean 10-kiloton warhead blasting a city might cause about 200,000 casualties. However, the same warhead making a high-altitude EMP attack - though there would be no blast, thermal or fallout effects on the ground - could knock out the electric grid and other life-sustaining critical infrastructures for more than a year, killing 90 percent of the population through starvation. Why blast a city when EMP attack can destroy the whole nation? North Korea wants to be able to do both. They can launch an EMP attack already... http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/north-korea-the-real-threat?f=must_reads

{weeklystandard.com} ~ Donald Trump has promised a foreign policy of muscular retrenchment, in which a better-resourced U.S. military intimidates our enemies without serving as a global cop... More than any president since Richard Nixon, our new commander in chief sees virtue in brutal authoritarians, especially if they are fighting radical Islam. He has passionately belittled the idea of nation-building, freedom agendas, and protracted conflicts in Muslim lands. Trump’s foreign-policy coherence and mettle will soon be put to the test over Iran. What he does about Barack liar-nObama's nuclear agreement and the Islamic Republic's expeditionary zeal, especially its enthusiasm for creating and deploying Shiite militias in sectarian wars, will surely guide what he does throughout the Middle East and likely define the way he deals with Russia. With the exception of how the president approaches the People's Republic of China, no foreign-policy question may have ramifications as momentous. It looks to be Trump's first big, gut-wrenching challenge...

Will Vulnerable Democrats Drown
in Schumer’s ‘Mainstream’?

{theacru.org} ~ Senate Democrats facing tough re-election battles in 2018 may have to decide if they want to hang a political anchor around their necks by joining a filibuster against Judge Neil Gorsuch... President Trump’s highly credentialed Supreme Court nominee. Predictably, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) threatened to filibuster Gorsuch in an op-ed on Politico.com and another in The New York Times, demanding 60 votes to confirm, rather than a simple majority as the Constitution allows. Schumer called Gorsuch “very smart, articulate and polite, with superb judicial demeanor” but not “mainstream.” Here’s what Schumer thinks is “mainstream.” “Senseless in Seattle and San Francisco” sums it up. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco upheld a temporary restraining order issued by a Seattle district court judge against President Trump’s order banning entry into the U.S. for 90-120 days by those from Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and Libya...

liar-nObama’s CIA Election Meddling
In France, Israel – Still Harping On Russia
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ We already knew that Hussein liar-nObama sent his “community organizer” rabble-rousers, at our expense, into Israel in 2015 in a failed attempt to defeat sitting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu... Now comes more evidence that the Democrat Marxists and their minions in the intelligence community observe a policy of do as I say, not as I do. The Democrats and RINOs are all stomping their feet and making threats over the non-existent Russian involvement in our election, the supposed hacking of the loosest cyber security known to man or woman, that of Democrat politicians. They’re outraged that any government would insert itself into the domestic elections of another, or attempt to or successfully overthrow the leader of another nation, unless it’s being done by the United States. Then it’s not talked about, it’s a non-issue that is quickly forgotten...  http://rickwells.us/new-wikileaks-obamas-cia-election-meddling-france-israel-still-harping-russia/

There Is No Solution in Afghanistan

Afghan national police officer
{freebeacon.com} ~ The American predicament in Afghanistan is at once ridiculous and tragic. More than 8,000 U.S. troops remain in the country, prosecuting the longest war in our nation's history... Overlapping networks of insurgent groups—most prominently the Taliban—had a good year in 2016, seizing terrain and conducting terror strikes to destabilize the U.S.-backed Kabul government. The American commander in the country wants a "few thousand" more troops. Despite the supporting role that the U.S. contingent is meant to play, casualties are still being sustained, sometimes in places with depressingly familiar names—as in Sangin, seized from the Taliban a few years ago at the expense of gallons of British and U.S. Marine blood. Two Americans were wounded there last week. The Taliban's efforts in Sangin appear to be part of a larger campaign to seize the entirety of opium-rich Helmand Province, including its capital Lashkar Gah, a small city that was untouchable during the period of peak U.S. operations but which now is battling the insurgency on its very streets. According to a U.S. government watchdog, eight out of 14 districts in Helmand are under insurgent "control or influence."...

The Silence Of the Lambs Congress

{freedomsback.com} ~ Let’s compare what President Trump has accomplished since the inauguration with that enormous crowd! with what congressional Republicans have done.

In the past three weeks, Trump has: staffed the White House, sent a dozen Cabinet nominees to the Senate, browbeat Boeing into cutting its price on a government contract, harangued American CEOs into keeping their plants in the United States, imposed a terrorist travel ban, met with foreign leaders and nominated a Supreme Court justice, among many other things.

And still our hero finds time to torment the media with his tweets!

What have congressional Republicans been doing? Scrapbooking?

More than 90 percent of congressional Republicans kept their jobs after the 2016 election, so you can cross “staffing an entire branch of government” off the list. Only the Senate confirms nominees, which they’ve been doing at a snail’s pace, so they’ve got loads of free time — and the House has no excuse at all.

Where’s the liar-nObamacare repeal? Where are the hearings featuring middle-class Americans with no health insurance because it was made illegal by liar-nObamacare?

The House passed six liar-nObamacare repeals when liar-nObama was president and there was no chance of them being signed into law. Back then, Republicans were full of vim and vigor! But the moment Trump became president, the repeals came to a screeching halt.

After the inauguration (gigantic!), House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell put out a plan for repealing liar-nObamacare … in 200 days. They actually gave their legislative agenda this inspiring title: “The Two Hundred Day Plan.”

TWO HUNDRED DAYS!

What was in the last six liar-nObamacare repeals? If we looked, would we find “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” carefully typed out 1 million times? Seriously, what does Paul Ryan’s day look like?

This is the Silence of the Lambs Congress. They’re utterly silent, emerging from the House gym or their three-hour lunches only to scream to the press about Trump.

To the delight of the media, these frightened little lambs are appalled by nearly everything Trump does. They’ve been especially throaty about Trump’s temporary travel ban from seven terrorist nations — as designated by the liar-nObama administration and by everybody else who hasn’t been in a deep freeze in a Finnish crevasse for the past decade.

Just like the six liar-nObamacare repeals, a refugee ban was already written and passed by one house of Congress. Then suddenly: the Silence of the Lambs. McConnell and Ryan are hiding under their desks, as Trump is being attacked from every side.

Way, way back, 15 long months ago, congressional Republicans didn’t have a problem with a total ban on Syrian and Iraqi refugees. Not for a mere three months like Trump’s order — but permanently, unless the director of the FBI, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and the director of national intelligence personally certified that a particular refugee posed no danger to the U.S.

That bill passed the House with an overwhelming, veto-proof majority, including 47 Democrats. Then it went to the Senate to die.

But when President Trump imposed a comparatively mild three-month ban on immigrants from Syria, Iraq and five other terrorist nations, the same Republicans who had voted for a limitless ban on refugees whiled away their days calling reporters to denounce Trump.

A little more than a year ago, Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, bragged in a press release that he had introduced the House’s refugee ban, calling it a bill that would “protect Americans from ISIS.”

But when it came to Trump’s three-month pause, McCaul told the Post that Trump’s order “went too far.”

I guess that ISIS problem just sort of faded away. Or maybe we should check with Mrs. McCaul, inasmuch as it’s her family money that makes Rep. McCaul one of the richest members of Congress.

Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pa., who voted for the House’s permanent refugee ban, demanded that Trump immediately rescind his travel ban, babbling on about the “many, many nuances of immigration policy” — which he must have learned about on one of his congressional jaunts to a Las Vegas casino.

Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., said that Trump’s order “overreaches and undermines our constitutional system.” Evidently, he was suddenly struck by the realization that it’s “not lawful to ban immigrants on the basis of nationality,” despite having voted to ban refugees on the basis of nationality just 15 months earlier. I’m OK with this, provided the Syrians, Somalis and Yemenis are sent to live on Justin’s street after being told about his support for gay marriage.

Sens. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., and Ben Sasse, R-Neb., both rushed to The Washington Post with this refreshingly original point: NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS! Why, thank you, senators! Where would the GOP be without you?

The Post also quoted spokesmen — spokesmen! — for Republican Sens. Mike Lee of Utah, Rob Portman of Ohio and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina complaining about not having been briefed on Trump’s order. The senators themselves were far too busy to talk to the press because they were — wait, what were they doing again? Words With Friends? Decoupage?

Since the election, Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., has been mostly occupied polishing his anti-Trump quotations to get a pat on the head from an admiring media. He complained about Trump’s order, saying it was “poorly implemented” and that he had to find out about it from reporters. I wonder why.

This is the moment we’ve been waiting for our entire lives, but Republicans in Congress refuse to do the people’s will. Their sole, driving obsession is to see Trump fail.

I am not presently calling for these useless, narcissistic, Trump-bashing Republicans to be defeated in their re-election bids, but they’re on my Watch List. To be cleared, they can start by getting off the phone with The Washington Post and passing one of those six liar-nObamacare repeal bills.
