by sundance
{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ According to Fox News Catherine Herridge reporting, Inspector General Michael Horowitz is investigating the unauthorized distribution of classified memos... by former FBI Director James Comey. The Wall Street Journal is also reporting that two of the four memos Director Comey gave to his friend Daniel Richman contained classified information.

Sanctuary Laws Have Driven
California Cities to Full-Fledged Mutiny
by Andrew
{ conservativefreepress.com } ~ “There is a Revolution going on in California,” President Trump tweeted on Wednesday... “Soooo many Sanctuary areas want OUT of this ridiculous, crime infested & breeding concept. Jerry Brown is trying to back out of the National Guard at the Border, but the people of the State are not happy. Want Security & Safety NOW!” Our commander-in-chief is rarely wrong, and he certainly called it correct in this tweet. There is indeed something going on out in California. This week, Los Alamitos voted for the second time to pass an ordinance exempting itself from the new sanctuary laws that went into effect in January. And in what might be even bigger news, the San Diego Board of Supervisors voted to support the Trump administration in their lawsuit against the state. Said lawsuit, brought by the Justice Department last month, targets the new laws as being outside the realm of a state’s local rights. The DOJ argues that California is not just restricting their law enforcement officers from actively participating in deportation raids and other means of enforcing federal law, but are indeed coercing them into defying federal immigration law....
liar-nObama Brags on Gun Confiscation
Agitator Punks - Better Americans Than Patriots
{ rickwells.us } ~ Nobody really expected Hussein liar-nObama to keep his arrogant... upturned globalist nose out of the affairs of the United States for very long, precedent and tradition mean nothing to the enemy of America, particularly on an issue as vital to their conquest as our disarmament. The foreign piece of something someone stepped in and tracked into the United States wrote an article in Time in which he criticized American grownups for not being more childlike, for not taking at face value the words of corrupt politicians who want to enslave us but are prevented from completing the transition, or at least obstructed to a degree in the process, by our Second Amendment. liar-nObama falsely blamed guns for our homicide rate he says is unlike that of any other nation. He’s right that our homicide rate is noteworthy. At number 92 on the UNDOC list, it’s much, much lower than he insinuated. His beloved homeland of Kenya is near the top at number six, with the most violent nations being some of those liar-nObama most vigorously imported our “replacement population” from... https://rickwells.us/obama-gun-confiscation-punks/ .
The Dangers of Failing Middle East States
by KOBI MICHAEL AND YOEL GUZANSKY
{ meforum.org } ~ In an address to a prominent British think tank, Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu recently argued that before establishing a Palestinian state... it would be necessary to internalize what had happened in the broader Middle East during the past few years—a reference to the collapsing regional order and the attendant proliferation of failed states. "It's time," he said, "we reassessed whether the modern model we have of sovereignty, and unfettered sovereignty, is applicable everywhere in the world." Netanyahu expressed a wider and deepening concern over the long-term consequences of the on-going Arab upheavals, euphorically misdiagnosed at their onset as the "Arab Spring." These upheavals have toppled a number of established regimes and destabilized several states at a horrific human and material cost. But they also have called into question the century-long Arab system based on territorial nation-states by accelerating processes and undercurrents that have long been in operation, turning many of these entities into failed states. By most accepted measures, the Palestinian Authority is also a failed entity. Would a Palestinian state fare any better?....
Justice Department IG reportedly
probing Comey memos over classified material
{ foxnews.com } ~ The Justice Department’s internal watchdog reportedly is looking into memos containing classified information... that James Comey gave to a friend last year, putting the former FBI boss in the crosshairs of a probe just as his former deputy faces the possibility of a criminal investigation over a separate leak. The Wall Street Journal reported that at least two of those Comey memos had material now deemed classified, prompting the inspector general investigation. A broader set of memos, documenting Comey’s conversations with President Trump, were handed over to Congress Thursday evening. Comey has maintained he didn’t release memos containing classified material... http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/04/20/justice-department-ig-reportedly-probing-comey-memos-over-classified-material.html.

Return of the Feckless Chick-Fil-A-Phobes
by Michelle Malkin
{ cnsnews.com } ~ Move over, Trump Derangement Syndrome. Another unhinged liberal pathology is back:
Chick-fil-A-phobia.
Perhaps, in the interest of public health, the CDC should launch a weekly C-F-A-P surveillance report to map the recurrence of this culturally infectious disease. Early-onset symptoms include fear of pressure-cooked poultry, allergic reaction to waffle potato fries and an irrational hatred of cow costumes. Anti-Christian prejudice and coastal elitism are common comorbidities associated with this debilitating progressive condition.
Ground zero for the latest outbreak? The headquarters of The New Yorker magazine. This week's issue online features the bigoted lament of writer Daniel Piepenbring, who decries the fast-food chain's "creepy infiltration" of the Big Apple and warns against the company's "pervasive Christian traditionalism." Chick-fil-A opened its fourth location in the city last month. The largest franchise in the country, it seats 140, employs 150, and along with the other NYC locations, donates an estimated 17,000 pounds of food to a local pantry for the homeless and hungry. The company is reportedly on track to become the third-largest fast-food chain in the world.
What are the Chick-fil-A-phobes so afraid of?
A private business succeeding in the marketplace based on its merits, without coercion or cronyism.
An enterprise that values hard work, honesty and integrity.
A family-owned American Dream come true that creates jobs, pays taxes, satisfies customers of all backgrounds and gives back to the community.
Horror of horrors, what menaces these sandwich-sellers of faith be!
Chick-fil-A's corporate mission to "glorify God" and "enrich the lives of everyone we touch" leaves The New Yorker scribe terminally heartsick about the "ulterior motive" of its restaurant execs. So do the founding family's commitments to faithful marriages, strong families, Sundays off and the highest standards of character for their employees. The frightened New Yorker critic is especially perturbed by the "Bible verses" enshrined at Chick-fil-A's Atlanta headquarters and by the restaurant's popular bovine mascots -- which he dubs "morbid" and the "ultimate evangelists" -- whose ubiquity on New York billboards and subway corridors is akin to a "carpet bombing."
Notice, by the way, how these hysterical Chick-fil-a-phobes have no qualms about the success of Jewish-owned delis or the spread of Muslim halal food shop operators in New York City who openly pay tribute to their faiths. Imagine a reporter freaking out over Quran verses or Torah citations hung up on a business owner's wall. Welcome to Social Justice 101, where discriminating against Christian-owned business in the name of opposing discrimination is the definition of tolerance.
We've been here before, of course. It was a liberal activist reporter and gay marriage advocate at The New York Times, Kim Severson, who helped launch the first nationwide witch hunt against Chick-fil-A in 2011. The former vice president of the National Gay and Lesbian Journalists Association used her straight-news platform to invoke fear of "evangelical Christianity's muscle flexing" and spread false and libelous attacks on Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy and his family as "anti-gay." Her propagandizing in the radical rag of record helped stoke boycotts and regulatory crackdowns by pandering Democrat Mayors Thomas Menino in Boston, Rahm Emanuel in Chicago, and New York City's Bill de Blasio.
Ultimately, those media-manufactured efforts to stifle Chick-fil-A's free enterprise and First Amendment rights failed. The company's products have proved irresistible to customers on all sides of the political spectrum. Gastronomical satisfaction trumps anti-Christian zealotry and zealous anti-Trumpism.
And that's what chaps the thin hides of the far-left journalists at The New York Times and The New Yorker who choke at the sights and smells of good, old-fashioned capitalism.
If leftists only want to eat and drink at a global fast-food company whose progressive CEO shares their Democrat-supporting, gun-grabbing, open-borders, gay marriage-boosting values, they should stick to Howard Schultz's Starbucks cafes.
Oh, wait...
