 Trump Loses the Business Class

Lost in the fog of the controversy over Charlottesville this week was a seemingly small but significant development: the disbanding of two of Donald Trump's economic advisory councils. Trump tweeted, "Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the Manufacturing Council & Strategy & Policy Forum, I am ending both. Thank you all!" Both councils had already lost several members, who publicly objected to Trump's response to Charlottesville, and the strategy and policy council had notified Trump that is was disbanding on its own.
          As The Hill reports, "The controversy that plagues the president proved too much for some in business leadership, who have carefully cultivated images as socially conscious leaders trying to make the world a better place through corporate positions." That's a polite way of saying these CEOs are subject to leftist boycotts and trashing at the hands of social justice warriors. And with Charlottesville, the Leftmedia threw gas on the fire, practically extorting these businesses to stand against Trump by deliberately distorting the meaning of his remarks. The CEOs thus couldn't subject their companies or shareholders to the ensuing firestorm if they didn't object. The Boy Scouts board suffered similar pressure over the issue of the gay merit badge.
          Unfortunately, rather than defending these corporations at risk of boycott at the hands of intolerant leftists, Trump attacked the CEOs as "grandstanders." And parts of his agenda may suffer. The Hill notes, "Trump's administration is also hoping to pass a sweeping tax reform overhaul in the autumn, which would benefit from unified support among the nation's top executives." Instead, he's chased them off.  ~The Patriot Post

{rickwells.us} ~ Jordan Sekulow works for the American Center for Law and Justice, an organization that is doing the work the FBI and DOJ should be doing but refuse to... and often obstruct in an effort to shield criminal government officials and prevent the American people from finding out what’s really going on. It is one of those obstructions by the FBI, a denial of the existence of documents that should have been turned over by them in a FOIA request, that is partially responsible for more information about the extent of the government web of deceit being learned. The corruption around the special prosecutor witch hunt against President Trump has now been proven to extend all the way up to include the corrupt political hit man at the top, special counsel Robert Mueller. Sekulow describes how his organization has been going through the records turned over to them by the DOJ, who didn’t make the same false denials that the FBI did as to the existence of any records, some of them the same conversations...  http://rickwells.us/more-serious-mueller-conflicts-press-chief-led-doj-fbi-lynch-clinton-cover-up/

{lidblog.com} ~ It’s now official — Democrats no longer care about facts and the truth... On Wednesday, McClatchy reported that House Democrats led by NY Democrat Jerrold Nadler are introducing a measure to formally censure President Trump for his supposed support of the Neo-Nazis. While the censure is unlikely to see traction in the GOP-led House, it serves as a rebuke to Trump and mirrors some of the Republican criticism the president has faced for his remarks...  http://lidblog.com/jerrold-nadler-introduces-bill/

{immigrationreform.com} ~ Five years ago today, President liar-nObama’s Department of Homeland Security began accepting and approving applications for the unconstitutional Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) amnesty program... In a brazen move to sure up his anti-borders base during his reelection campaign, President liar-nObama bypassed Congress and ignored the will of the American people by unilaterally implementing DACA on August 15, 2012. In addition to violating the U.S. Constitution, DACA also conflicts with numerous federal laws by granting reprieve from deportation and work authorization to certain illegal aliens for renewable two years terms. In addition to the many legal and constitutional issues DACA poses, the program has been extremely successful at sending the message to the world that the U.S. government does not intend to enforce its own immigration laws, especially amongst young people...  http://immigrationreform.com/2017/08/15/5-years-lawlessness/?utm_source=ET&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Top507282017

{americanlibertyreport.com} ~ In 2014, the US State Department lent support to Ukraine in order to remove their pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych. The stated intention was to turn the Ukraine into a nation that would be NATO friendly, existing along the western border of Russia... But now according to reports echoed by the New York Times, the transformation of the Ukraine into a US-friendly hard point in Eastern Europe has resulted in the country becoming the secret source of North Korea’s ballistic nuclear weapons program. According to the report, North Korea has been making illegal purchases of rocket engines from a factory in Ukraine. The report is based on the analysis of a series of photographs which show Kim Jong-un reviewing the new rocket engines and concludes that the massive machines were derived from designs that were once used as a power source for the missile fleet belonging to the now defunct Soviet Union...  http://www.americanlibertyreport.com/articles/ukraine-suspected-of-providing-n-korea-with-nuclear-materials/

{dailycaller.com} ~ Conservative commentator Ann Coulter is upset about Steve Bannon’s ouster and believes it “makes it appear that Trump is easily manipulable by the media.”... Bannon, a staunch conservative and supporter of Trump’s agenda, left his post as White House chief strategist Friday after months of media criticism. The former Breitbart executive kept a whiteboard in his wall that kept track of Trump’s campaign promises and was in a constant battle against moderates in the White House like Gary Cohn and Jared Kushner. “This makes it appear that Trump is easily manipulable by the media,” Coulter told The Daily Caller Friday over email. “They just need to give all credit to any White House staffer they want to get rid of. I dread to think of who the media decide to get rid of next.”...  http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/18/coulter-bannon-firing-not-good-news-trump-shouldve-hired-ten-more-like-him/

America's Second Civil War

{
townhall.com} ~"They had found a leader, Robert E. Lee -- and what a leader! ... No military leader since Napoleon has aroused such enthusiastic devotion among troops as did Lee when he reviewed them on his horse Traveller."

So wrote Samuel Eliot Morison in his magisterial "The Oxford History of the American People" in 1965.

First in his class at West Point, hero of the Mexican War, Lee was the man to whom President Lincoln turned to lead his army. But when Virginia seceded, Lee would not lift up his sword against his own people, and chose to defend his home state rather than wage war upon her.

This veneration of Lee, wrote Richard Weaver, "appears in the saying attributed to a Confederate soldier, 'The rest of us may have ... descended from monkeys, but it took a God to make Marse Robert.'"

Growing up after World War II, this was accepted history.

Yet, on the militant left today, the name Lee evokes raw hatred and howls of "racist and traitor." A clamor has arisen to have all statues of him and all Confederate soldiers and statesmen pulled down from their pedestals and put in museums or tossed onto trash piles.

What has changed since 1965?

It is not history. There have been no great new discoveries about Lee.

What has changed is America herself. She is not the same country. We have passed through a great social, cultural and moral revolution that has left us irretrievably divided on separate shores.

And the politicians are in panic.

Two years ago, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe called the giant statues of Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson on Richmond's Monument Avenue "parts of our heritage." After Charlottesville, New York-born-and-bred McAuliffe, entertaining higher ambitions, went full scalawag, demanding the statues be pulled down as "flashpoints for hatred, division, and violence."

Who hates the statues, Terry? Who's going to cause the violence? Answer: The Democratic left whom Terry must now appease.

McAuliffe is echoed by Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, the Democratic candidate in November to succeed McAuliffe. GOP nominee Ed Gillespie wants Monument Avenue left alone.

The election is the place to decide this, but the left will not wait.

In Durham, North Carolina, our Taliban smashed the statue of a Confederate soldier. Near the entrance of Duke University Chapel, a statue of Lee has been defaced, the nose broken off.

Wednesday at dawn, Baltimore carried out a cultural cleansing by taking down statues of Lee and Maryland Chief Justice Roger Taney who wrote the Dred Scott decision and opposed Lincoln's suspension of the right of habeas corpus.

Like ISIS, which smashed the storied ruins of Palmyra, and the al-Qaida rebels who ravaged the fabled Saharan city of Timbuktu, the new barbarism has come to America. This is going to become a blazing issue, not only between but within the parties.

For there are 10 Confederates in Statuary Hall in the Capitol, among them Lee, Georgia's Alexander Stephens, vice president to Jefferson Davis, and Davis himself. The Black Caucus wants them gone.

Mount Rushmore-sized carvings of Lee, Jackson and Davis are on Stone Mountain, Georgia. Are they to be blasted off?

There are countless universities, colleges and high schools like Washington & Lee named for Confederate statesmen and soldiers. Across the Potomac from D.C. are Jefferson Davis Highway and Leesburg Pike to Leesburg itself, 25 miles north. Are all highways, streets, towns and counties named for Confederates to be renamed? What about Fort Bragg?

On every Civil War battlefield, there are monuments to the Southern fallen. Gettysburg has hundreds of memorials, statues and markers. But if, as the left insists we accept, the Confederates were traitors trying to tear America apart to preserve an evil system, upon what ground do Democrats stand to resist the radical left's demands?

What do we do with those battlefields where Confederates were victorious: Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville?

"Where does this all end?" President Trump asked.

It doesn't. Not until America's histories and biographies are burned and new texts written to Nazify Lee, Jackson, Davis and all the rest, will a newly indoctrinated generation of Americans accede to this demand to tear down and destroy what their fathers cherished.

And once all the Confederates are gone, one must begin with the explorers, and then the slave owners like Presidents Washington, Jefferson and Madison, who seceded from slave-free Britain. White supremacists all.

Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay of Kentucky and John Calhoun must swiftly follow.

Then there are all those segregationists. From 1865 to 1965, virtually all of the great Southern senators were white supremacists.

In the first half of the 20th century, Woodrow Wilson and FDR carried all 11 states of a rigidly segregationist South all six times they ran, and FDR rewarded Dixie by putting a Klansman on the Supreme Court.

While easy for Republicans to wash their hands of such odious elements as Nazis in Charlottesville, will they take up the defense of the monuments and statues that have defined our history, or capitulate to the icon-smashers?

In this Second American Civil War, whose side are you on?
