More NY Times Fake Climate News
The Leftmedia has one objective: To vilify the Trump administration whenever the opportunity arises. Of course, this opens the door to gross bias and stories that are just flat-out wrong. The coinage for this is the now-ubiquitous term "fake news." The New York Times was caught once again spreading propaganda in its report on the latest Climate Science Special Report (CSSR). The final draft contains the typical anxiety-laden language of how man-made global warming will be significantly detrimental to humanity. But the Times' politicking of the CSSR's plight is even worse.
Initially, Fox News points out, "The [NYT] story ... said the draft report 'has not yet been made public' but 'a copy of it was obtained by The New York Times.'" Only that erroneous claim didn't fly for very long. And it wasn't whistleblowers who exposed the Times' duplicity.
Rutgers professor Bob Kopp, who contributed to CSSR, tweeted, "It's not clear what the news is in this story; posted draft is public review draft from Dec, and WH review hasn't yet missed Aug 18 deadline" to officially endorse the CSSR. A few moments later he added, "The Times' leaked draft has been on the Internet Archive since January, during the public comment period." Kopp's colleague Katharine Hayhoe likewise tweeted, "Important to point out that this report was already accessible to anyone who cared to read it during public review & comment time. Few did."
Translation: Nothing was really leaked at all. The Times' story now contains this correction: "While it was not widely publicized, the report was uploaded by the nonprofit Internet Archive in January; it was not first made public by The New York Times." Oops. What the Times saw was a chance to exploit an obscure report to further its agenda of portraying Donald Trump as a Neanderthal who "could change or suppress the report" without the public's knowledge. It also attempted to paint ecofascists as good Samaritans who had no choice but to "leak" a report to save humanity. Instead, the public now has even more proof that the Times continues to lack journalistic integrity. ~The Patriot Post

liar-nObama’s CAIR Also Defending
McMaster Against Trump Patriot Base
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ The wagons are circling around HR McMaster, filled with globalists, establishment uniparty operatives, deep state tools, liar-nObama loyalists and holdovers, never-Trumpers, Democrats and special interest, identity politics leeches... They’re protecting him, attempting to come between McMaster and the Trump base of American patriots who want him gone. Why is it that this is the type of support he garners? Why is it that George Soros foot soldiers and UN, global government types rush to offer their support? Why is it that it’s obvious to most observers but the one person who most needs to be aware of it, President Trump, can’t seem to see it? Despite President Trump’s declaration that McMaster is his friend and one of us, he’s not his friend and he’s in no way one of us. He’s one of the enemy, an liar-nObama/Soros tool supported by leftists of every stripe. Yesterday it was Susan Rice in a CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer, defending and expressing her support for McMaster, who had extended her security clearance and arbitrarily declared her innocent in the unmasking of President Trump and other Americans... http://rickwells.us/obamas-cair-defending-mcmaster-trump-patriot-base/

by Douglas Murray
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The British Prime Minister's June declaration, that when it came to terrorism in the UK, "enough is enough", already looks like little more than rhetoric.... If members of the British government want to move on from rhetoric to action, however, they need to do more than just work out what new things are going wrong in British counter-extremism policy. They will need to identify the mistakes they keep on making, and perhaps try to avoid making them yet again. Bewilderingly, a remarkable opportunity to learn a lesson appears to have been missed yet again... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10790/britain-welcoming-jihadisby Douglas Murray

Illegal Voting: What Do States and USCIS Have to Hide?
by Kenric Ward
{immigrationreform.com} ~ Allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, have raised concerns about the integrity of our election process, including voting by non-citizens... Examining Virginia’s state records, the nonpartisan Public Interest Legal Foundation and Virginia Voters Alliance uncovered 5,556 non-citizens registered to vote in the state. Of those 5,556 individuals, state Department of Elections records, cross-checked with DMV files, revealed 1,852 had voted 7,474 times over multiple years. If the presidential Commission on Election Integrity follows suit and vets voter records in the other 49 states, the 5,556 non-citizen voters in Virginia could prove to be a drop in the bucket for the rest of the country... http://immigrationreform.com/2017/08/07/illegal-voting-states-uscis-hide/?utm_source=ET&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Top507282017.
Sanctuary Cities Betray America,
Americans and Immigrants
by Michael Cutler
{frontpagemag.com} ~ Threats to Americans posed by international terrorists and violent transnational gangs have increased in recent years... In addition, recent congressional hearings have highlighted the extreme levels of violence faced by members of America's ethnic immigrant communities at the hands of gangs, such as MS-13, due to border security and immigration law enforcement failures. Nevertheless, mayors of “Sanctuary Cities” continue to shield illegal aliens -- and the foreign criminals and terrorists among them -- from detection, with some now filing lawsuits against the Trump administration in response to Attorney General Session’s intentions to cut funding to those cities. Those mayors want federal funds but blithely refuse to assist the federal government in enforcing immigration laws that are key elements of national security and public safety... http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/267534/sanctuary-cities-betray-america-americans-and-michael-cutler.
Possible “SPECIAL ENVOY” To N Korea,
Maxine WATERS, Explains What Needs To Be Done
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ We get an insight into the way a “President Maxine Waters” would respond to the current situation in North Korea, a path not too far removed from the one that Hussein liar-nObama pursued... and which Susan Rice and DNI Clapper are currently advocating. She says, “The United States State Department must be staffed up to deal in diplomacy. We cannot afford to be in a war and I want us to be very careful, very alert to what is happening and to avoid war. And so I think we can do this with some diplomacy.” Of course she’s an advocate of more talking regardless of the circumstances...She has no cure on what is happening. http://rickwells.us/possible-special-envoy-n-korea-maxine-waters-explains-needs/

{jewishworldreview.com} ~ In biblical times, a sanctuary city was a place where someone who had committed unintentional manslaughter could find refuge from "the avenger of blood."
If the offender left the sanctuary city, he could be set upon by a relative of the dead person and killed. No sanctuary was available to anyone who committed murder with malice aforethought.
Modern sanctuary cities are less reflective of their ancient namesakes and more like the hideouts established by train robbers and cattle rustlers during the days of the Wild West, as the current sanctuary city movement shields men and women who have broken federal law to reach the United States.
Threats by the Trump administration to hold back federal money from cities that harbor illegal immigrants show some promise. In July, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced new immigration compliance requirements for federal grant programs, including mandates that state and local entities must allow federal immigration access to detention facilities and provide 48 hours' notice before authorities release an illegal immigrant wanted by federal authorities. If states comply, they get the grants. If they do not, they get nothing.
Miami-Dade County in Florida and Clark County in Nevada have changed their minds about harboring lawbreakers. The Department of Justice has sent letters to both counties certifying that they are now in compliance with the law and are now cleared for federal grants.
Other sanctuary cities are not so cooperative. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice for threatening to withhold federal funds earmarked for local law enforcement. Given the shooting gallery Chicago has become, it's difficult to see how more money will improve safety, especially on the city's South Side, where an average weekend of violence often produces more casualties than in Afghanistan.
In Washington, where today's "principled stand" can quickly be forgotten, Democrats have changed their view about an immigration plan they consistently supported for a decade. Democrats in Congress previously favored a policy that would have established a points system for selecting legal immigrants. Now that President Trump favors such a system, based on merit, Democrats suddenly oppose it. For such a U-turn the word "hypocrisy" was invented, but the left doesn't care. They are about votes and winning elections, not actually fixing an immigration system everyone agrees is broken and needs repair.
Under regulations concerning cities of refuge established in the Book of Numbers (35:25) and the code of the Levitical priesthood, once an individual had claimed asylum, he had to be taken from the city to stand trial. If he was found innocent, he was returned under guard to the city in which he had claimed asylum. When the High Priest died, the person could return to his property.
That is a far cry from what modern mayors and governors want for their illegal immigrants. For them there is to be no arrest, no charge and no trial. Some Maryland jurisdictions are talking about adding more localities to those that already allow undocumented immigrants to vote in local elections.
It won't be long before there are demands that they be allowed to vote in federal elections, which appears to be the objective of many Democrats who want and need the votes. They'd likely get them too, once undocumented immigrants become dependent on government programs.
Name a federal law you could get away with breaking. Could you find "sanctuary" away from the government's long arm?
The lawsuit by Chicago's mayor will likely reach the Supreme Court. That is what makes the elevation of Neil Gorsuch to that high bench so critical.
