 The Real Story on Trump's Tax Return 
_Rx9e8HNtVsHmrLD3uOrlNMoPj7bGlUWrqjw__YWyiV0hikcfnQTg0fWU4AlBZvy6hg8ZVY89omK7BAaT9u2sDKjMvvvr6sVOdiE6Wrf511whQPFFMFeB8mC2rJpWQ=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Tuesday evening, with much ballyhoo, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow revealed two pages of Donald Trump's 2005 tax return, which she claimed to have obtained under what can only be described as dubious circumstances. Maddow declared, "For some reason that we cannot discern, this document has been made available. It has surfaced. It has been handed to a reporter." And what does the return show? Trump earned a lot of money — $150 million — and paid a lot in federal taxes — $38 million, or what amounts to about 25% of his income. Stop the presses!
          Catching wind of the story, the White House preempted MSNBC by releasing a statement that included Trump's earnings and taxes paid. The statement concluded, "Despite his substantial income figure and tax paid, it is totally illegal to steal and publish tax returns. The dishonest media can continue to make this part of their agenda, while the President will focus on his, which includes tax reform that will benefit all Americans."
          During the primaries, we called for Trump to release his tax records for reasons of learning who and what he has supported, not to know how much he's worth or for whether he paid his "fair share" in taxes. We also noted then and will reiterate now that Trump is under no legal obligation to share his tax returns, irrespective of what previous presidential candidates have traditionally practiced. What is truly disconcerting is the growing notion that it's totally acceptable for the mainstream media to obtain and disseminate illegally leaked confidential information in an effort to harm Trump.
          This latest Leftmedia witch-hunt exposes yet again just how anti-Trump they are. Recall the MSM collective yawn over Barack liar-nObama's numerous nefarious connections, such as Jeremiah Wright or Bill Ayers. Where was the dogged reporting by the MSM exposing liar-nObama's truly scandalous past associations? It was conveniently absent. In fact, great energy and effort was put into defending liar-nObama against legitimate questions, often by dismissing them as merely the kooky concerns of the tinfoil hat club.
          Now the Leftmedia is invested in the narrative of Trump being illegitimate, and no matter what the facts reveal, they have committed themselves to discrediting Trump at every conceivable opportunity. That's what's truly behind this tax story. And yet as has happened repeatedly, it's proving only to blow up in their faces. ~The Patriot Post

{punchingbagpost.com} ~ Europe and the U.S. aren’t the only areas being targeted by radical Islamic terrorists, China’s Communist Party just warned citizens that Islamic extremism in China is a very real problem... Ningxia Communist Party Secretary Li mentioned that President Donald Trump’s recent travel ban is an example of how to prevent “religious extremism from seeping into all of American culture.” "What the Islamic State and extremists push is jihad, terror, violence. This is why we see Trump targeting Muslims in a travel ban," said Jianguo referring to Trump’s executive order banning citizens from six nations with a large Muslim population from entering the U.S. "It doesn't matter whether the anti-Muslim policy is in the interests of the U.S. or it promotes stability; it's about preventing religious extremism from seeping into all of American culture."...  http://punchingbagpost.com/chinese-party-officials-say-radical-islam-is-gaining-momentum-in-china

Dawn of the Jihadi Drone Wars

{defenddemocracy.org} ~ The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported February 23 that it had downed an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) over the Mediterranean after it was launched from the Gaza Strip... According to IDF sources, an Israeli F-16 shot down the UAV, which it said belonged to Hamas, before it was able to cross into the country’s airspace. Details of the type of drone and its mission remain sparse, but the flight demonstrates Hamas’s determined pursuit for UAV capability even after the death of its chief drone engineer last month in Tunisia. While Hamas’s nascent drone program has yet to produce any tactical or strategic advantage, the use of drones by terrorist organizations elsewhere in the region underscores the challenges they can pose. Hamas reportedly tested its first drone in 2012, after which the IDF quickly targeted the site believed to house the program. A year later, Palestinian security forces foiled Hamas operatives in the West Bank plotting to launch UAVs packed with explosives that would strike targets in Israel. It was not until summer 2014, however, that Hamas launched a UAV that breached Israeli airspace, reaching the seaside city of Ashdod before being quickly downed by a Patriot surface-to-air missile...  http://www.defenddemocracy.org/media-hit/patrick-megahan-dawn-of-the-jihadi-drone-wars/

{pri.org} ~ Abu Radwan enters a church on the outskirts of Beirut with his wife and two kids. His wife removes the black headscarf covering her hair. It was here, a year and a half ago, that they converted to Christianity... “Of course it was a difficult decision,” Abu Radwan says. “I was born into a Muslim family.” The family is from the city of Homs in Syria. They sought refuge in Lebanon at the beginning of the war. Then two years ago, Abu Radwan says Jesus appeared to him in a dream. “I started going to the church,” he says. “I believed that Jesus was coming to help us, to save us.”...  https://www.pri.org/stories/2017-03-02/why-some-muslim-syrian-refugees-are-converting-christianity

Obnoxious Liberal “Journalists” Caught on Tape

{aim.org} ~ It’s no secret that the Trump administration has established a “new paradigm” in dealing with the press. It’s something we have advocated from the start of the new administration... One major aspect of the new approach is accepting the conservative media as legitimate members of the press. After this produced changes in how the press covers the State Department, the gnashing of teeth really began. Liberal reporters weren’t interested in the anniversary of the conflict in Syria that has taken 500,000 lives. They wanted to know why a reporter from a conservative outlet was allowed on a State Department plane to Asia. They saw it as a challenge to their power and authority, and peppered the State Department spokesman with hostile questions. The liberal media were in meltdown mode over the decision to bring Erin McPike of the Independent Journal Review (IJR) on the official plane carrying Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to Asia...  http://www.aim.org/aim-column/obnoxious-liberal-journalists-caught-on-tape/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=Daily%20Email%20Mar-17-2017&utm_medium=email

The Dirty Dem Dogs of Disruption

{truthrevolt.org} ~ Here come the hyper-partisan hounds.

A new nonprofit called American Oversight launched this week to combat President Trump's "culture of impunity." The outfit declared itself "nonpartisan" and claims its crusaders will fight for a "transparent and ethical government."

But like Waylon Jennings once crooned, "Baby, that dog won't hunt."

These Democrat operatives aren't interested in accountability. Their mission is to attack, obstruct and destroy their political opponents at all costs.

Executive Director and liar-nObama donor Austin Evers is certainly familiar with the "culture of impunity." He worked as a lawyer at Williams and Connolly -- the firm representing liar-Hillary Clinton and the same firm that boasts longtime liar-Clinton consigliere David Kendall, who shepherded scandal-ridden liar-Bill and liar-Hill through Whitewater, Lewinsky-gate and Email-gate. Evers had zero experience handling public records and classified document requests before he was hired by the State Department in 2015 to be liar-Hillary's information blocker. But the ethical olfactory nerves of the Democrats suddenly shut down over the clear conflict of interest.

"At the very least, this suspect arrangement raises questions about the State Department hiring process," GOP Rep. Bob Goodlatte complained to the agency's inspector general. "At worst, it suggests willful obstruction by handpicked liar-Clinton associates at the State Department on behalf of former Secretary liar-Clinton, to ensure damaging or incriminating documents never saw the light of day."

American Oversight also employs liar-nObama donor John Bies, who served as counselor to former corruptocrat liar-nObama Attorney General Eric Holder. Bies and Holder worked together at white-shoe law firm Covington and Burling. That's the same law firm that represented 17 Yemeni terror suspects held at Gitmo -- including at least a dozen who rejoined al-Qaida after being freed.

Among Holder's countless subversions of transparency was his refusal to cough up the names of appointees who had been involved in legal work on behalf of Gitmo detainees.

In February 2010, after 9/11 families raised hell, GOP Sen. Charles Grassley finally forced Holder to acknowledge that at least nine DOJ attorneys officially represented or served as advocates for Gitmo detainees before joining the liar-nObama administration. But he still refused to reveal their identities. Bies was one of the suspected nameless abettors.

That kind of backside-covering secrecy and conflict of interest cover-up are government failings that American Oversight senior advisor Melanie Sloan might have once protested. But the ethics watchdog who formerly helmed Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington abandoned nonpartisanship eons ago. Under her leadership, CREW occasionally targeted corrupt Democrats, including Maxine Waters and William "Cold Cash" Jefferson. But in the end, her radical funders -- George Soros, the Tides Foundation and the Democracy Alliance -- traded her in for rabid attack dog David Brock.

Sloan then got mired in her own apparent pay-for-play scandal. After forming a consulting business, she reportedly solicited a $40,000 donation from one of her clients, Herbalife, to CREW, which published a website attacking an investor who called the company a pyramid scheme.

Sloan now heads a crisis management outfit called Triumph Strategy with Michael Huttner, a far-left operative and founder of ProgressNow. That's the Democrat group of nonprofit satellites funded with startup money from billionaire George Soros and the Democracy Alliance, whose board members include former SEIU International Secretary-Treasurer Anna Burger and ACORN embezzlement cover-upper Drummond Pike.

American Oversight ain't about cleaning up corruption. It's about disruption for the sake of disruption.
