. The Dems' Tax Deception Problem
Democrats like chiding Republicans on the tax issue, particularly when it comes to "the wealthy" who "don't pay their fair share." It's a convenient talking point geared toward constituents because it conjures up feelings of anger, jealousy and resentment. And the Democrat Party has exploited it to the fullest extent possible in an effort to sway elections.
In August 2012, during the height of the pivotal election between Barack liar-nObama and Mitt Romney, then-Senate Majority Leader Harry dinky-Reid erroneously charged, "The word's out that [Romney] hasn't paid any taxes for 10 years." It was a blatant lie that even The Washington Post flatly condemned. Even in the ensuing years dinky-Reid remained stubborn, haughtily saying things like, "Romney didn't win, did he?" and, "It's one of the best things I've ever done."
Then there's liar-Hillary Clinton. At a presidential debate last fall, she stated, "[Y]ou've gotta ask yourself, why won't [Trump] release his tax returns? And I think there may be a couple of reasons. ... [M]aybe he doesn't want the American people, all of you watching tonight, to know that he's paid nothing in federal taxes." Of course, we now know that Trump's 2005 tax rate of 25% dwarfed that of liar-nObama and, yes, even Bernie Sanders. Especially Bernie Sanders, whose income was taxed at just 13% in 2014. And as for liar-Clinton, at least half the reason for the liar-Clinton Foundation's existence was to provide a tax shelter for liar-Bill and liar-Hillary's exorbitant speaking fee income.
Republicans are constantly bombarded with accusations of tax evasion and exploitation, but the fact is that the real tax deception is coming from the Left, whose continued gamesmanship with faux accusations is hurting them mightily at the ballot box.

liar-nObama Judge Had No Standing,
Send All Refugees To Hawaii
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Steve Doocy asks Judge Jeanine Pirro what Hawaii has in their situation that gives them an interest in and legitimate claim of a right to dictate US immigration policy as was just done by liar-nObama’s classmate and friend, Judge Watson... Judge Jeanine cites their argument, saying, “Well what Hawaii said was, ‘Look, this is going to be terrible, it’s going to have an incredible impact on our economy, because we’re not going to have any students coming from these countries.’ Hello, you don’t have anyone coming from these countries anyway. I mean, this is the most hypocritical reaction to the President and this executive order.” Look, the bottom line is you’ve got a judge here, who, bottom line, hates Donald Trump. He’s an liar-nObama appointee. But he is now saying, ‘What I am going to do is I’m not going to look at this executive order, and assess it on the four corners of the order itself, I will assess it based on things that Donald Trump said during the campaign.”... http://rickwells.us/judge-jeanine-obama-hawaii-judge-standing-send-refugees-hawaii/
Trump’s Proposed Budget Slashes
Funding For Sanctuary Cities

by Jeff Dunetz and Andrew West
{lidblog.com} ~ Buried within President Trump’s budget proposal released Thursday contains another item designed to keep a campaign promise, cutting back funds granted to sanctuary cities... During his first week in office the President Issued an executive order that punished sanctuary cities by “Refusing federal funds to those jurisdictions that do not comply with Federal immigration law, except as mandated by law” The order defined sanctuary jurisdictions “as jurisdictions that “willfully refuse to comply with 8 U.S.C. 1373,” which prohibits Federal, State, and local officials from refusing to provide information on citizenship or immigration status requested by immigration authorities.”... http://lidblog.com/budget-slashes-funding-for-sanctuary-cities/

liar-nObama, Soros Are SPEECHLESS!
{patriotjournal.com} ~ Senators are calling on Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to investigate the liar-nObama administration’s efforts to influence foreign elections by sending taxpayer dollars to “extreme and sometimes violent political activists” that would promote liberal causes... Multiple foreign diplomats had conversations with lawmakers, who outlined the State Department’s meddling, including liberal causes in countries like Macedonia, Albania, Latin America, and Africa. And to make it even more suspicious, George Soros is allegedly involved, too. Some of the funding for these causes also appears to come from the liberal billionaire, and specifically his Open Society Foundation. It is also believed that the liar-nObama administration funded organizations that sought to kick Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu out of office. “Over the past few months, elected officials and political leaders of foreign nations have been coming to me with disappointing news and reports of U.S. activity in their respective countries,” Sen. Lee said in a statement... http://patriotjournal.com/congress-awesome-obama-soros-speechless/
.What Do Jihadis Want? The Caliphate
by Daniel Pipes
by Daniel Pipes
{danielpipes.org} ~ A question often asked is, "What do the jihadis [Mujahideen] want?" The answer is surprisingly obscure, as most of their attacks do not include clear demands... The horrific attacks on Mumbai in November 2008 and on Paris in November 2015 were carried out by suicide squads, with gunmen carrying out mass shootings. Elsewhere, they have resorted to machine gun assaults, beheadings, bombings, hijackings etc. After the attackers have been neutralised by the security forces, an assessment is carried out of the damage they caused and detectives attempt to trace the identities of the perpetrators, to look into possible motives. Shadowy websites then make post-hoc unauthenticated claims, which still belie the question, "What do the jihadis want?"...They're not going to get it.

The Truth is Vault 7 is Empty! Government

by Vin Armani
by Vin Armani
{activistpost.com} ~ In this video, Vin Armani takes a deep dive into Vault 7 and discovers that the CIA’s technology isn’t nearly as scary as media reports have made out... Most of their “hacking” tools require a tech-savvy agent to be physically in the same room as the target device in order to install malware. And most of their malware is wiped out by the next routine software update by the device maker. http://www.activistpost.com/2017/03/truth-vault-7-empty-government-totally-incompetent.html?utm_source=Activist+Post+Subscribers&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dea82d2ea4-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_b0c7fb76bd-dea82d2ea4-387888649

Trump Embraces the PLO Fantasy
by Caroline Glick
{truthrevolt.org} ~ US President Donald Trump is losing his focus. If he doesn’t get it back soon, he will fail to make America great again or safe again in the Middle East.
After holding out for a month, last week Trump indicated he is adopting his predecessors’ obsession with empowering the PLO.
This is a strategic error.
There are many actors and conflicts in the Middle East that challenge and threaten US national interests and US national security. Iran’s rise as a nuclear power and regional hegemon; the war in Syria; Turkey’s abandonment of the West; and Russia’s regional power play all pose major threats to US power, security and interests. The Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic State, Hamas and other Sunni jihadist movements all threaten the US, Europe and the US’s Sunni allies in the region in a manner that is strategically significant to America.
None of these issues, none of these actors and none of these threats are in any way related to or caused by the PLO and its interminable, European-supported hybrid terror and political war against Israel. None of these pressing concerns will be advanced by a US embrace of the PLO or a renewed obsession with empowering the PLO and its mafia-terrorist bosses.
To the contrary, all of these pressing concerns will be sidelined – and so made more pressing and dangerous – by a US reengagement with the PLO .
And yet, over the past week, Trump has indicated that the PLO is now his focus.
Last Friday, Trump spoke on the telephone with Mahmoud Abbas. Abbas is head of the PLO and the unelected dictator of the corrupt, terrorism-sponsoring, PLO -controlled Palestinian Authority in Judea and Samaria.
According to media reports, Trump told Abbas – whose legal term in office ended eight years ago – that he views him as a legitimate leader. According to the official White House report of the conversation, Trump also reportedly told Abbas that he supports reaching a deal between Israel and the Palestinians. Such a deal, to the extent it is ever reached, involves expanding PLO control over Judea and Samaria and parts of Jerusalem at Israel’s expense.
Trump also invited Abbas for an official visit to Washington. And the day after they spoke, the Trump administration moved $250 million in US taxpayer dollars to Abbas’s police state where for the past 25 years, Abbas and his cronies have enriched themselves while feeding a steady diet of antisemitic, anti-American jihadist bile to their impoverished subjects.
To build up his credibility with the PLO , Trump put his electoral pledge to move the US embassy to Jerusalem on ice. The real estate mogul ordered Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to deny Jews the right to their property and their legal right to use state lands in Judea and Samaria.
And swift on the heels of that conversation with Abbas, Trump’s chief negotiator Jason Greenblatt was dispatched to Jerusalem to begin empowering the PLO at Israel’s expense.
According to media reports, Greenblatt intended to use his meeting Monday with Netanyahu was to reject Netanyahu’s commitment to build a new Israeli town in Samaria. Greenblatt was also reportedly intending to dictate the parameters for yet another round of negotiations with the PLO.
After meeting with Netanyahu, Greenblatt continued on to Ramallah to embrace Abbas.
Also during his stay, Greenblatt is scheduled to meet with IDF generals who are responsible for giving money and providing services to the PLO.
And Greenblatt doesn’t have the Palestinians to himself.
Following Trump’s conversation with Abbas, plans were suddenly afloat for Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner and Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump to visit Israel and spend an afternoon with Abbas in Ramallah.
If things develop as reported, then Trump is serious about embracing the PLO and intends to have his top advisers devote themselves to Abbas and his henchmen. If that is the case, then Trump is setting himself, his advisers, his daughter and the US up to fail and be humiliated.
The PLO is the Siren that drowns US administrations. It is to the PLO that America’s top envoys have eagerly flown, gotten hooked on the attention of the demented, anti-Israel press corps, and forgotten their purpose: to advance US national interests.
If Trump is serious about repeating this practice, then rather than repair the massive damage done to the US and the Middle East by his two predecessors, the 45th president will repeat their mistakes. Like them, he will leave office in a blaze of failure.
To understand why this is the case, three things must be clear.
First, the PLO will never make peace with Israel. There will never be a Palestinian state.
There will never be a peace or a Palestinian state because the PLO wants neither. This is the lesson of the past 25 years. Both Abbas and his predecessor Arafat rejected peace and statehood multiple times and opted instead to expand their terrorist and political war against Israel.
Why did they do that? Because they are interested in two things: personal enrichment – which they achieve by stealing donor funds and emptying the pockets of their own people; and weakening, with the goal of destroying Israel – which they achieve through their hybrid war of terrorism and political warfare.
The second thing that needs to be clear is that the Palestinians are irrelevant to the rest of the problems – the real problems that impact US interests – in the region. If anything, the Palestinians are pawns on the larger chessboard. America’s enemies use them to distract the Americans from the larger realities so that the US will not pay attention to the real game.
Iran will not be appeased or defeated if Trump empowers the PLO in its war against Israel and continues feeding PLO leaders’ insatiable appetite for other people’s money.
The Sunni jihadists will not beat their swords into plowshares if the US coerces Israel to cough up land to the PLO . To the contrary, they will be emboldened.
Russian President Vladimir Putin will not move his forces out of Syria or stop giving nuclear technologies to Iran if the US turns the screws on Israel. Putin will come to the conclusion that Trump is either weak or stupid to damage Israel, the US’s most serious ally.
And of course, Israel will not be better off if Trump decides to push it back onto the peace train which has caused it nothing but harm for the past quarter century.
Trump’s election opened up the possibility, for the first time in decades, that the US would end its destructive obsession with the PLO. For three months, Israelis have been free for the first time to discuss seriously the possibilities of applying Israeli law to all or parts of Judea and Samaria. And a massive majority of Israelis support doing just that.
On the Palestinian side as well, Trump’s election empowered the people who have been living under the jackboot of Abbas and his cronies to think about the possibility of living at peace with Israel in a post-PLO era. Polling results indicate that they too are eager to move beyond the Palestinian statehood chimera.
But now, it appears that Trump has been convinced to embrace the PLO obsession. The same entrenched bureaucrats at the State Department and the same foreign policy establishment in Washington that brought the US nothing but failure in the Middle East for a generation appear to have captivated Trump’s foreign policy. They have convinced him it is better to devote his top advisers to repeating the mistakes of his predecessors than to devote his energies and theirs to fixing the mess that liar-nObama and George W. Bush left him with. They have gotten him to believe that it is better to empower the PLO than develop coherent strategies and plans for dealing with the problems of the region that actually endanger US interests and imperil the security and safety of the American people.

Donald
I did see the exact interview with Newt. I do believe he is telling the whole truth and I do comply with his concerns. More actions need to be acted out to drain the swamp. Its not only the DOJ but the FBI and other departments in government in which he is doing by his budget cutting. If that makes any sense to you.
Did you just hear Newt speak on these very issues... I am not a lone voice on this matter. You may want to listen to Fox News interview:
https://youtu.be/R6T-uvpcTQ0?t=1408
This whole investigation is extremely dangerous and Trump needs to have Sessions create a New Division with the sole mission to investigate and prosecute political corruption... This new Division should be filled with all new hires loyal to Trump and the law... It should operate independently of all other DOJ functionaries... isolated from any covert or overt disruption and subversion.
This will be the only way Trump will ever drain the swamp. The DOJ is full of hardline liberal attorneys who are extremely political and Trump can not rely on them at all. This investigation can end up blind siding him... as it did with Nixon. Listen to the link and what Newt Says... I agree completely.
Ronald
Its sounds like we will continue on and on, but I do like to make a suggestion. Why don't you contact President Trump on his tweeter and state your concerns.
Rudy... The dismissal of the 49 US Attorney's should have been AUTOMATIC... it is customary for all political appointees to tender their resignation with the advent of a New President and the forming of a New Administration... when they don't it is the exception not the rule.
The idea that some how AG Session's managed to get the 49 AG's fired is a joke... all he needed to do is have the President issue pink slips to them all or simply issue an EO that fired them all instantly. The idea that these positions will go unfilled or vacant while being filled is also bogus... the next in line takes over until a TEMPORARY APPOINTMENT can be made... that is where AG Session's comes in... he can recommend and submit a list of temporary appointments too the US Attorney's office until congress can confirm a permanent appointee.
It appears that Pres. Trump is getting some very bad advise and that the FOX is indeed in the hen house... leaks, embarrassing gross missteps, and delays on most of Trumps programs are not rare... they are becoming the norm. If it isn't some Judge overturning an EO it is some obscure Obama holdover burying the Presidents orders as they march to another drummer. This has to stop and it is the job of the Chief of Staff too make it happen... Trump may need to remove Priebus.
Ronald
Like I mention before, true in some sense. But I do believe whole-heartily in what Caroline Glick wrote on Israel in which I did post and it explains what is happening there and here. Its a shame how things are working out, but I do believe Trump will wake up, if not then, I made a mistake in thinking so.
Remember Session did get 49 DOJs release and one fired. Hopefully it will be more, but those positions need to be refilled. Or is this draining the swamp?
P/S Rudy...
Trump needs to focus on survival ... he definitely should not open more doors than he can enter and starting a flurry of negotiations with the PLO at this time is not only foolish it is counter productive and will split off much of the conservative evangelical support Trump needs at this time. Reneging on the promises he made regarding Israel would be a very foolish thing to do at this time. Any advice he is getting to the contrary needs to be isolated and removed.. it is bad advise.
Rudy....
Trump can make temporary appointments to every vacancy in his cabinet and administration without the need to have congress's approval... it is an excuse at best too claim his appointees are not on board. Obama appointed some 64 Czars, in addition to the authorized political appointees... Trump should do the same if he believes he needs more man power.
However, the problem with Trump is not manpower.... its the will and clarity needed to drain the swamp. His inability to address the core issues of corruption has left his Administration looking powerless and hemorrhaging... he has never captured the national narrative to set the tone of government and the news cycle is eating him alive.
I support and still support Trump but he had better pull himself and his Administration together... he had best wake up... his own party is cannibalizing his Administration ... they are eating him alive and he needs to understand this is not temporary or fleeting... it will continue until they remove him from office. They are not just mad at him... they are not simply venting they are working to send him and his administration packing and if possible too prison.
Wake up Pres. Trump before it is too late... Nixon did not believe his own party would stoop so low as to work with the Democrats to depose him... but they did. Trump needs to learn from the Nixon event... or he will awake one day to find himself on the wrong side of the law... labeled a criminal and on his way to trial... this is not funny.
Patients is a virtue only when it doesn't involve ones neck in a noose... when in fact time is not of the essence... this is not a time for patients... it is a time for action... direct and positive action to clean up the swamp. Either seed the DOJ with lawyers open to your world view and willing to take on the big guns or don't even think about attempting to clean the swamp... Half measures will most certainly put one in an early grave. AG Sessions is no help, in fact he is part of the problem ... he has no sense of urgency nor does he have a critical view of the Establishment... he thinks he can cajole and bargain with the likes of Hillary, Bill, Pelosi, Ryan, McConnell and McCain... Learning he can not may be very expensive... prohibitively expensive.
Ronald
True in some sense but remember the dems are making it their way by slowing down Trumps pickings in governing. In all of history we have never seen this type of disrespect of an elected president. We need to have patience and then see if what he said about draining the swamp will happen. Then 2020 would be a different turn out.
Trump is not draining the swamp... he is becoming the swamp. Pres. Trump you need to fire the existing leadership in the State Department if you expect too shift direction and bring real peace to much of the world. The Professionals at State have lead us to where we are and will continue to drag the United States down the path of ruin... as a world power.
It appears that Donald is simply not sophisticated enough to understand that the progressives and leftist are not to be trusted in their negotiations... he is not dealing with successful business men and women he is dealing with world class liars and dissimulators. Wake up Pres. Trump before you find yourself part of the problem rather than the solution.
