Judge Jeanine Has Real Solutions For
Handling Congressional Perverts and Predators
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ In her open Judge Jeanine points out that Washington is a swamp in more ways than one... The predators that aren’t just political but “sleazy sexual perverts who claim the moral high ground based not on truth and justice, but on rank politics.” She notes the insanity that when they are found to be guilty it is the American people who pay the damages for them. She offers a few solutions for putting an end to the abuse of power as it is presently allowed to exist. For starters she says the Congressional perverts must be forced to pay the money from their settlements back to the people. We can either sue them or take it out of their pensions... https://rickwells.us/jeanine-solutions-congressional-perverts/.
White House condemns
Pakistan’s release of Islamist militant
by Dave Boyer
{m.washingtontimes.com} ~ The White House Saturday slammed Pakistan’s release of a U.S.-wanted militant... calling it a “step in the wrong direction” that will damage America’s relations with Pakistan. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the U.S. “strongly condemns” the release of Hafiz Saeed from house arrest, and called for his “immediate re-arrest and prosecution.” “Saeed’s release, after Pakistan’s failure to prosecute or charge him, sends a deeply troubling message about Pakistan’s commitment to combatting international terrorism and belies Pakistani claims that it will not provide sanctuary for terrorists on its soil,” she said. “If Pakistan does not take action to lawfully detain Saeed and charge him for his crimes, its inaction will have repercussions for bilateral relations and for Pakistan’s global reputation. “... https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/nov/25/trump-administration-slams-pakistans-release-hafiz/.
liar-nObama, UN Global Govt
Still Transforming US To Third World Nation
{rickwells.us} ~ Agenda 21 and its updated Agenda 2030 master plan is still being shoved down our throats by the globalist left... that has seized power over government at all levels in the United States, as Gary Galino points out in this video. He plays a short and tolerable clip of globalist tyrant Hussein liar-nObama in a speech in Africa in which he said, “If everybody’s raising living standards to the point where everybody’s got a car and everybody’s got air conditioning and everybody’s got a big house, well, the planet will boil over.” Using the global warming lie to control the lives of the entire population of the planet has long been the goal of the elites and using the UN as the organization through which it is coordinated and enforced, the various components are being put into place every day... https://rickwells.us/obama-global-govt-still-transforming-us-to-third-world-nation-as-americans-sleep/

Israel Vows to Destrou Iranian
Positions Within 40km of Syrian Border
by SHOSHANA KRANISH
{jpost.com} ~ Kuwaiti newspaper Al Jarida revealed on Sunday that an Israeli source disclosed a promise from Jerusalem to destroy... all Iranian facilities within 40 kilometers (25 miles) of Israel's Golan Heights. The source, who remains unnamed, said that during Syrian President Bashar Assad's surprise visit to Russia last week, Assad gave Russian Premier Vladimir Putin a message for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: Damascus will agree to a demilitarized zone of up to 40 kilometers from the border in the Golan Heights as part of a comprehensive agreement between the two countries, but only if Israel does not work to remove Assad's regime from power... http://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Report-Israel-vows-to-destroy-Iranian-positions-within-40-km-of-Syrian-border-515209?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=25-11-2017&utm_content=report-israel-vows-to-destroy-iranian-positions-within-40-km-of-syrian-border-515209.
Watch Jim Jordan Offer His
Advice For Republican Leadership
by GINNI THOMAS
{dailycaller.com} ~ GOP Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan’s message to Republican leadership and every member of Congress is simple: don’t mess with the voters... The dynamic conservative connects the dots of recent political shockwaves to warn those in the public square. From the uprising of the Tea Party movement in 2010, to Dave Brat defeating House Majority Whip Eric Cantor in a primary, to the formation of the Freedom Caucus as a new center of gravity in the House, to John backstabber-Boehner’s early dethroning, and then the 2016 upset by President Donald Trump, the American people have a message for elites in Washington. “If that’s not sending a message to the establishment in this town, I don’t know what will,” Jordan says in this exclusive interview. “Maybe we ought to do what the American people sent us here to do.”... http://dailycaller.com/2017/11/25/watch-jim-jordan-offer-his-advice-for-republican-leadership-video/?utm_medium=emailVIDEO at the site.

Not One Taxpayer Cent for Sexual Abuse Hush Money
{townhall.com} ~ Are you the problem?
Sure, you’d like folks to believe you’re innocent. And you can indeed blame our career politicians, experts at feathering their own nests and abusing the public trust.
Further, you might plea, in your defense, that you even favor reforms like term limits that would reduce the unaccountable power of politicians in Washington.
But still, the exploitative system — the license to abuse others — remains intact.
The particular system of abuse I refer to is the one in which members of Congress repeatedly grope, commit depraved assaults and other sexual tyrannies upon interns and staff and yet remain unaccountable . . . because taxpayers foot the bill and the knowledge of the misconduct kept secret.
Well, the truth’s out, now.
So, what have you done about it?
Obviously, when a child misbehaves, we do not necessarily jump to blame the parents. But what if, after a considerable period of consistently atrocious behavior, the troublemaking child has never been corrected by his or her parents?
At some point, responsibility shifts.
Members of Congress may not be children, but they are . . . our representatives.
After all, it is said we are the government. We’re the boss!
Well, true or false in actual operation, the burden of responsibility falls to us to hold accountable our “public servants” very much in the way that we would hold our own offspring accountable.
The point, here, is not to assess blame so much as to harness public sentiment for some solutions — perhaps via electoral repercussions so severe that solutions come pouring forth from congressmen themselves . . . deathly afraid for their political survival.
Left to their own devices, congressmen are not going to solve the problem. After all, they fashioned the procedures that so superbly shield sexual misconduct from serious consequences.
The current system was actually a reform of the previous system, or non-system, which left victimized women and men without any recourse whatsoever.
Yes, today’s process was part of reforms ushered in by the Republican revolution, those in the congressional Class of ’94, who over two decades ago formed the first GOP-controlled House of Representatives in 40 years. Prior to their establishment of the Office of Compliance (OOC), there was simply no recourse . . . but to personally appeal to the member of Congress or the chief of staff for whom one worked — often times the very scumbags doing the victimizing.
An improvement, sure, but as additional scandals break, the bankruptcy of this system becomes more and more obvious.
“The current system in place does not require the OOC to make public the number of sexual harassment complaints, number of settlements reached, the dollar figure of those settlements or which offices are being complained about,” CNN reported. “Congressional aides say this is giving unintentional cover to the worst offenders in Congress.”
Unintentional?
“In politics,” President Franklin Roosevelt is alleged to have proclaimed, “nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.” That bit of wisdom may have been misattributed to FDR, but had he said it, he would have really been onto something.
“Once a settlement is reached,” CNN went on to explain, “the money is not paid out of the individual member’s office but rather comes out of a fund set up to handle this within the US Treasury — meaning taxpayers are footing the bill.”
Unfortunately, we taxpayers foot all those bills. Take the case of one of Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), who, according to the lurid details of a recent scandal, has been roaming the halls of the capitol for the last 52 years . . . allegedly showing up for meetings in his underwear and firing employees who refuse to have sex with him. Conyers paid a settlement to one female staffer he had fired using his office funds — not through the official OCC slush fund. This maneuver didn’t save the taxpayers a dime.
So, what are you going to do about it?
Here’s an idea: Unless and until Congress abolishes this ridiculously corrupt system where taxpayers are forced to subsidize the sexual harassment committed by politicians, do not vote to re-elect any member of Congress.
Don’t commit to this quietly, either. Call your congressman and your state’s two U.S. Senators. Let them know that, even if they are in your political party and/or have policy positions close to your own, enough is enough. Stopping sexual abuse must come first.
If it were your daughter being harassed and abused by these power-mad perverts, you would insist upon it.
Wouldn’t you?
What about for someone else’s innocent daughter?
Or son?
It is obvious that Congress, up till now, has not cared enough. If made to care, these politicians could accomplish the necessary change next week.
