Fein-stein: The Greater of Two Evils

by Dennis Lund

{ americanthinker.com } ~ In recent days, the nation has witnessed an unseemly display of political gamesmanship, one that has served as a testimonial to just how low the dummycrats-Democrats have sunk... In a ploy to regain the power she believes to rightfully belong to the dummycrats-Democrats, Senator Dianne Fein-stein trotted out a 36-year-old "he said, she said" story regarding drunken teenagers. In recent years, the party, once on the ascendency, has declined in power, prestige, and popularity. Now, with the Ford-Kavanaugh accusations, it has lost all semblance of integrity. Observers of Supreme Court hearings ranging from those of Robert Bork to Clarence Thomas were expecting something like this. What should be surprising is that the accusation against Brett Kavanaugh came from the longtime senator from California, Dianne Fein-stein. Her career has endured based, to a large extent, on an undeserved reputation for integrity and principles. Her fabulously wealthy husband's millions have also helped. Her release of the Christine Ford allegations against Judge Kavanaugh should forever put to rest any idea that this woman has any level of ethics or respect for our constitutional system. The senator's actions are worthy of being censured for withholding information from the committee. Unfortunately, the Republicans lack the requisite spherical objects to do so. The incident was known to DiFi back in July, but she kept quiet, holding it like an ace up her sleeve. We can only guess her reasons for this. Two possibilities spring to mind...

lowlife-Kamala Harris: We Don't Have

to Find Kavanaugh Guilty to Convict Him

by STEVEN AHLE

{ steadfastandloyal.com } ~  lowlife-Kamala Harris, one of the many people running for president in 2020, says that the Senators do not have to find Kavanaugh guilty to vote against his nomination... First, let’s be honest. After thirty-six years and no police report, there is no way in heck, you could ever find Kavanaugh guilty. He has a long and storied life in the public eye and the dummycrats-Democrats could not find one person to say a single bad thing to say about Kavanaugh. But, suddenly, we are to believe that he is a sex fiend, who tried to rip the clothes off a girl in order to rape her? That’s what the dummycrats-Democrats would have you believe. An op-ed published Friday by the Washington Post written by Caprice Roberts, a visiting professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, supported Harris’ position on reasonable doubt, flatly stating that Kavanaugh’s “guilt or innocence is not the issue”. What difference does it make anyway? The dummycrats-Democrats were against Kavanaugh from the moment his nomination was announced. There is no way they were ever going to vote for him, regardless. The only dummycrats- Democrats who would have ever voted yes are incumbents from Red States and the dummycrats-Democrats are trying to give them an excuse to vote no... Lowlife Harris is a sick person and should never be in the senate let allow to run for president.

Memos: FBI doubted intel community's Russia claim

by ART MOORE

{ wnd.com } ~ FBI officials who had been investigating alleged Trump-Russia collusion did not agree with the highly publicized intelligence community conclusion that Moscow had meddled in the election to help Trump... according to newly obtained bureau memos and emails. The initial claim was the all 16 intelligence agencies were in agreement, but that number was later corrected to four. Now, the documents show FBI officials concluded there was not enough intelligence to support the January 2017 findings, according to SaraACarter.com. Carter noted there is no dispute that the Kremlin meddled in the elections, but the assertion that its intent was to aid Trump has been the source of controversy. She observed that while FBI officials, including FBI Director scumbag-James Comey and lead investigator Peter Strzok, were disputing the findings of CIA Director scumbag/commie-John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence scumbag-James Clapper behind closed doors, the public believed the FBI agreed with the assessment. Text messages indicate, nevertheless, that Strzok was still intent on proving that members of the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow. And scumbag-Comey, as did Strzok, believed the unverified dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele should have been part of the Intelligence Community Assessment titled “Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections.”...

California proposing gov't take over 'fake news' fight

by BOB UNRUH

{ wnd.com } ~ There’s no doubt California is a land of extremes; just look at the weather, wildfires, deserts and Hollywood... Or watch scumbag/mad-Maxine Waters and see if she can address anyone without shouting “impeach, impeach, impeach” President Trump. Now there’s an extreme move afoot to have the government take control of the fight against “fake news” on social media. The plan is to have a state “model” for social media companies to follow. Likely whether they want to or not. The proposal was reported by the Foundation for Economic Education. Barry Brownstein said legislators already have approved S.B. 1424, and it only needs the signature of Gov. scumbag-Jerry Brown. It would require the establishment of an advisory board that would include Justice Department representatives, social media providers, civil liberties groups and First Amendment scholars. They would study “the spread of false information” on social media and create a “model strategic plan” to “mitigate the spread of false information.” “It’s hard to imagine those voting for the bill were motivated by good intentions. In any case, good intentions are not enough. Is it hard to imagine the results of the law will be censorship of views that politicians disagree with and views critical of politicians?” Brownstein wrote...

The dummycrats-Democrats are Beneath Contempt

by BOB PASCARELLA

{ ipatriot.com } ~ Anyone who has read past articles I have written knows that at times they have been harsh and critical of the dummycrats-Democrats, among other groups... The party’s position on social issues, especially abortion and same-sex marriage, are antithetical to those of us who believe in the sanctity of all life and traditional values are sacred. In the last article, I wrote about the confirmation hearings of Judge Kavanaugh and how the dummycrats- Democrats, through their egregious and unprofessional behavior, betrayed the American people and shattered any honor, integrity, and self-respect the party may have had left. To watch a political institution that can speak of great leaders and moments throughout its history, but has been reduced to nothing more than a group of faithless, self-serving, and hardcore power-hungry fanatics whose only ambition is achieving the power to fulfill its leftist desires, is troubling and a sad commentary. Some might ask what about Republicans, do they not also have their own problems. Yes, they do, but as much as I have criticized and denounced some of their ineffective and wasteful policies and agenda, they do not compare with dummycrats-Democrats on the scale of incivility, depravity, and dishonor. Now I ask, how much lower they can sink, you might respond well all this criticism of the dummycrats-democrat party, liberals and the leftwing, are just the usual grist for the conservative mill. However, an event has recently occurred that in my opinion is so reckless, malicious and unethical that it is beyond all measure of decency and fairness. In a last-ditch scurrilous and desperate effort to scuttle the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, the dummycrats-Democrats and Senator Dianne Fein-stein have introduced into the process a letter from a woman who claims back in 1981 while in high school, then teenager Brett Kavanaugh sexually abused her while at a party. According to reports, Senator Fein-stein had received this communication back in July but decided to keep it from all the parties concerned and not introduce it into evidence because the woman in question preferred to remain anonymous and did not want to go public... That is so BS, when he was announced they never going to vote for him.  https://ipatriot.com/the-democrats-are-beneath-contempt/

How Israel defeated the PLO

by Caroline B. Glick

{ jewishworldreview.com } ~ The so-called “Oslo process,” is really two processes. The first was the Oslo peace process. It began with secret negotiations between Israeli leftists with ties to then-foreign minister Shimon Peres in Oslo, Norway, in 1993. It led to Israel’s recognition of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the establishment of the PLO-controlled Palestinian Authority to run the Palestinian autonomy in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. It also led to a seven-year attempt by Israel to make peace with the PLO. 

The peace process, was the brainchild of the Israeli Left. It was predicated on the notion that without the PLO there can be no peace. And without peace, based on territorial concessions, Israel has no hope of surviving, let alone prospering. 

The Oslo peace process failed in July 2000 when the PLO rejected peace and statehood. 

The failure of the Oslo peace process was followed quickly with the initiation of the Oslo terror war by the PLO-PA and its partners in Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Its goal was to demoralize Israeli society and foment a collapse of Israel’s national will to reject the PLO’s maximalist demands, which in turn would lead to the eventual destruction of Israel. 

To a large degree, the Oslo war ended in 2004 when Israel secured its control over the Palestinian population centers in Judea and Samaria and killed Hamas’s senior leadership in Gaza. 

The Israeli Left never accepted the failure of the Oslo peace process. And the PLO-PA never abandoned its efforts to destroy Israel – in the name of peace and justice.

The refusal of both the Israeli Left and the PLO-PA to own up to the failure of both Oslo processes, has engendered a strange symbiotic relationship between the two sides. No, of course the Left hasn’t joined or supported the PLO-PA’s terror war. To the contrary. There is little if any distinction in the positions of the Israeli Left and Right on the need to defeat Palestinian terrorism.

What the Left and the PLO-PA do share is an assessment of who is to blame for the absence of peace. Never accepting that the PLO-PA was disingenuous in its expressions of peaceful intentions, the Israeli Left has looked elsewhere for culprits to blame the Oslo peace process’s failure. Its chosen culprits have always been the Israeli Right and their American supporters. The PLO-PA for its part, has always happily agreed with the Israeli Left’s indictments.

The symbiosis between the two parties was very much in evidence in an interview Maariv’s Ben Caspit published last Friday with Saeb Erekat, PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s right-hand man and the chief Palestinian negotiator for peace talks with Israel.

The interview was both noteworthy and unoriginal. It was noteworthy because both men knew precisely whom to blame for the absence of peace – US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Erekat went straight for the kill and accused Trump of committing “genocide” against the Palestinians. How is Trump committing mass murder? 

By ending US funding of two Palestinian hospitals in east Jerusalem.   

As for Netanyahu, according to Erekat, Netanyahu “killed Rabin.” Once Netanyahu was done murdering his predecessor Yitzhak Rabin, according to Erekat, he proceeded to “kill the idea of peace. He killed the attempt to create a culture of peace.”

Caspit for his part, was far less extreme. But he shared Erekat’s basic conceits. In an attempt to convince his readers that we need to take heed of Erekat’s words, Caspit expressed scorn for Trump. 

“Even after Trump is consigned to history and leaves behind his presidential library of pornography, they [the Palestinians] and us, we remain here together,” he wrote.

Caspit then attacked the normal Israeli suspects. He accused “the Israelis, particularly the Israeli Right of preparing themselves for the coming of the messiah,” in the face of Trump’s friendship. 

While Erekat didn’t attack the Israeli public specifically, his demonization of Netanyahu was instrumental. Netanyahu after all did not seize power by force. He was elected prime minister four times. And in the next elections, he is expected to win a fifth term. 

Erekat claimed that Netanyahu killed peace by rejecting the PLO’s demand to base all negotiations on the 1949 armistice lines. But Netanyahu isn’t a free agent when he rejects this demand. He is the loyal representative of the Israeli people, which keeps electing him.  

This begins to bring us to the reason that the Oslo peace process was rejected and the reason the Oslo war also failed.

Both of these initiatives were launched first and foremost against the Israeli people.

From the time the Rabin-Peres government unveiled the Oslo peace process in late August 1993, until today, at its heart is an assumption that rejects the foundations of Zionism and Jewish identity more generally.

The Oslo peace process assumed that Israel’s prosperity, its survival and its morality were functions of its willingness and its success in making peace with the PLO by appeasing it. That assumption gave Yasser Arafat, Abbas and their comrades veto power over Israel’s success and survival. After all, it was up to them to decide if Israel gave enough.

Zionism and Jewish national identity have always placed the power to determine the fate of the Jewish people, its survival and its success on the Jews themselves. Jewish national identity has never been defined by other nations. It has always been defined by the Jews themselves. 

Over the years, since the peace process failed, one of the things that the Israeli Left has been hard pressed to comprehend has been Israel’s high rankings on happiness indexes. Most recently, ahead of Rosh Hashanah, the Central Bureau of Statistics reported that 89% of Israelis say they are happy and satisfied with their lives. 

This report, like all of its many predecessors, plunged the Israeli Left into a fit of despair. How can Israelis be happy when there’s no peace, nor even a peace process? How can Israelis be happy when the Palestinians in Gaza and Judea and Samaria reject them?

The explanations are always forthcoming. Then-secretary of state hanoi-John Kerry said in 2014 that Israel’s economic prosperity – which was supposed to only come after peace was achieved – has made Israelis too rich to care about the Palestinians.

The problem with that view is that in the CBS’s 2002 survey – taken at the height of Israel’s economic recession and the darkest moments of the Oslo war – 83% of Israelis said they were happy and satisfied with their lives in Israel.

Israeli commentators like Ron Ben-Yishai have argued that the constant wars and security threats have strengthened social cohesiveness and unity, which serve ironically as the foundations for happiness.

The problem with this view is that happiness levels rise both when Israel is at war and when the security situation is stable. 

The reason Israelis are so happy – despite Oslo’s failure – is unquestionably tied to the basic reason that the Oslo peace paradigm never won the sustained support of a majority of Israelis. 

Israelis are a dynamic people. In the quarter-century since the handshake on the White House lawn, Israeli society has been transformed in every sphere. The percentage of Israelis with an academic degree rose to 47% from 20% between 1990 and 2012. 

In the past 25 years, Israel’s economy has changed from a socialist command economy to a free-market economy and today Israel’s GDP per capita is higher than Japan’s. Israel’s annual GDP overall will likely reach a half trillion dollars within a decade. 

Israel’s fertility rates dwarf those of every Western country. 

Unemployment is at record lows. 

All of this occurred as the Palestinians under the PLO have been robbed of their wealth by kleptocratic terrorists who run their autonomous governments like mafia bosses. To excuse their failures and mask their crimes, the PLO tells the Palestinians to blame their misfortune on the Jews and exhorts them to murder Jews at every opportunity.

One of the central narratives repeated ad nauseam over the past 25 years by the PLO and Israeli leftists alike is that the PLO is the only moderate and secular group in Palestinian society. If Israel fails to support it, then Israel will be forced to fight a war with Islam. In his interview with Erekat, Caspit gave prominent voice to this contention. 

This would be an important insight, if were true.

But there isn’t.
