Trump Expands Order Banning U.S.
Funds for Overseas Abortion
by Dave Bohon
{thenewamerican.com} ~ President Trump has expanded an executive order he signed in January re-implementing the Mexico City Policy that bans U.S. funds from paying for abortions overseas... The policy, originally implemented in 1984 by the Reagan administration, was rescinded by President Bill liar-Clinton, re-instituted during the eight years of the Bush administration, and rescinded again by President liar-nObama, allowing groups like International Planned Parenthood and Marie Stopes International to reap hundreds of millions of dollars for its abortion businesses overseas. As reported by LifeNews.com, the executive order signed by Trump on January 23 “stops taxpayer funding of groups that perform and promote abortions overseas, but does not stop non-abortion international assistance. The order ensures U.S. foreign aid will continue to go to health care and humanitarian relief.... It just will not subsidize abortion overseas.”... https://www.thenewamerican.com/culture/faith-and-morals/item/26058-trump-expands-order-banning-u-s-funds-for-overseas-abortion

Democrats Took Only 4 Months To Install
Omnipotent Threat Inside Trump WH
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Mark Levin noted that, “The Democrats got what they wanted, ladies and gentlemen, making his announcement of the appointment of Mueller as special prosecutor / executioner to target President Trump in the hunt for a Russian witch... Levin read the statement by Rosenstein, who Levin says buckled but some of us believe had a mission from the beginning. It would be interesting to learn the process by which he was selected for the position of Deputy Attorney General and who made the recommendation. Too much power and prominence has been placed into the hands of this nobody that we didn’t elect to be the minder for our President and AG Sessions. He points out that despite all of the scandals and corruption of the liar-nObama regime, including the “‘Iran Contra’ deal, the liar-Hillary Clinton emails, the IRS or Fast and Furious,” to name a few. “The media in Washington are wetting themselves. The Democrats in Washington are wetting themselves but they won’t show it. They’ll find another reason to attack.”... http://rickwells.us/levin-democrats-took-4-months-install-omnipotent-threat-trump-wh/

Trump signs $110 billion
arms deal with Saudi Arabia
by Daniel Chaitin
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ President Trump on Saturday signed a $110 billion arms deal between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia... The arms transaction is intended to bolster national security in Saudi Arabia as well as the country's ability to combat terrorism. The White House says the agreement will provide fighter jets, tanks, radar, combat ships and anti-missile defense systems to Saudi Arabia and will create defense-related jobs in the U.S. The defense cooperation agreements signed Saturday offer the Saudis $110 billion immediately and $350 billion of the next decade... http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trump-signs-110-billion-arms-deal-with-saudi-arabia/article/2623704

After Rosenstein Plants Mueller, ACLU Now Pushing Congressional Public Hearings
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ For anyone who might have been naive enough to think this “Special Prosecutor scam” was a real investigation into potentially real wrongdoing... perhaps this email just sent out by the ACLU will wake you up. Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, this supposed apolitical man of integrity, just planted an establishment controller into the system with the legal authority to eliminate our President. He did so approximately three weeks after being confirmed and a week after recommending the firing of James Comey that provided him the pretext for doing so. All of the Washington talking heads claim Rosenstein is above reproach – maybe he is, maybe he isn’t. It does not appear he shares the same vision for America as the people who voted President Trump into office. Rosenstein promised slime ball Chuck clown-Schumer he’d be a good boy in a private meeting stating “he would appoint a special counsel to conduct that investigation if one is required.” He didn’t say “if required” by whom or if that was a guarantee if it was “required” as a condition of Democrat support... http://rickwells.us/rosenstein-plants-mueller-aclu-pushing-congressional-public-hearings/.
'Swamp considerations' holding U.S. in Paris deal
by Greg Corombos
{wnd.com} ~ President Trump is running out of time to make good on his promise to withdraw the United States from the Paris agreement on climate policy obligations... and the delay is largely due to many different interests imploring him to back away from his campaign pledges. As Trump embarks on an ambitious eight-day trip to the Middle East and Europe, the pressure is only growing on him to keep the U.S. committed to the Paris deal. However, Competitive Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Christopher C. Horner, who served on Trump’s transition landing team at the Environmental Protection Agency, says all Trump needs to do is make good on his word. “We have to go back to the campaign and remember that a decision was made and it was to get out,” said Horner. “He gave reasons why. He said this would give others control over our energy use, how much we could use the things that are reliable and affordable, as well as the massive wealth transfer. He made the decision.”... http://www.wnd.com/2017/05/swamp-considerations-holding-u-s-in-paris-deal/

Rosenstein Joins the Posse
by Pat Buchanan
{wnd.com} ~ "With the stroke of a pen, Rod Rosenstein redeemed his reputation," writes Dana Milbank of The Washington Post.
What had Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein done to be welcomed home by the Post like the prodigal son?
Without consulting the White House, he sandbagged President Trump, naming a special counsel to take over the investigation of the Russia connection that could prove ruinous to this presidency.
Rod has reinvigorated a tired 10-month investigation that failed to find any collusion between Trump and Russian hacking of the DNC. Not a single indictment had come out of the FBI investigation.
Yet, now a new special counsel, Robert Mueller, former director of the FBI, will slow-walk his way through this same terrain again, searching for clues leading to potentially impeachable offenses. What seemed to be winding down for Trump is now only just beginning to gear up.
Also to be investigated is whether the president tried to curtail the FBI investigation with his phone calls and Oval Office meetings with FBI Director James Comey, before abruptly firing Comey last week.
Regarded as able and honest, Mueller will be under media pressure to come up with charges. Great and famous prosecutors are measured by whom they convict and how many scalps they take.
Moreover, a burgeoning special counsel's office dredging up dirt on Trump and associates will find itself the beneficiary of an indulgent press.
Why did Rosenstein capitulate to a Democrat-media clamor for a special counsel that could prove disastrous for the president who elevated and honored him?
Surely in part, as Milbank writes, to salvage his damaged reputation.
After being approved 94-6 by a Senate that hailed him as a principled and independent U.S. attorney for both George Bush and Barack liar-nObama, Rosenstein found himself being pilloried for preparing the document White House aides called crucial to Trump's decision to fire Comey.
Rosenstein had gone over to the dark side. He had, it was said, on Trump's orders, put the hit on Comey. Now, by siccing a special counsel on the president himself, Rosenstein is restored to the good graces of this city. Rosenstein just turned in his black hat for a white hat.
Democrats are hailing both his decision to name a special counsel and the man he chose. Yet it is difficult to exaggerate the damage he has done.
As did almost all of its predecessors, including those which led to the resignation of President Nixon and impeachment of Bill liar-Clinton, Mueller's investigation seems certain to drag on for years.
All that time, there will be a cloud over Trump's presidency that will drain his political authority. Trump's enemies will become less fearful and more vocal. Republican Congressmen and Senators in swing states and marginal districts, looking to 2018, will have less incentive to follow Trump's lead, rather than their own instincts and interests. Party unity will fade away.
And without a united and energized Republican Party on the Hill, how do you get repeal and replacement of liar-nObamacare, tax reform or a border wall? Trump's agenda suddenly seems comatose. And was it a coincidence that the day Mueller was appointed, the markets tanked, with the Dow falling 372 points?
Markets had soared with Trump's election on the expectation that his pro-business agenda would be enacted. If those expectations suddenly seem illusory, will the boom born of hope become a bust?
A White House staff, said to be in disarray, and a president reportedly enraged over endless press reports of his problems and falling polls, are not going to become one big happy family again with a growing office of prosecutors and FBI agents poking into issues in which they were involved.
Nor is the jurisdiction of the special counsel restricted to alleged Russia interference in the campaign. Allegations about Trump's taxes, investments, and associates, and those of his family, could be drawn into the maw of the special counsel's office by political and business enemies enthusiastic about seeing him brought down.
More folks in Trump's entourage will soon be lawyering up.
While it's absurd today to talk of impeachment, that will not deter Democrats and the media from speculating, given what happened to Nixon and liar-Clinton when special prosecutors were put on their trail.
Another consequence of the naming of a special counsel, given what such investigations have produced, will be that Vice President Pence will soon find himself with new friends and admirers, and will begin to attract more press as the man of the future in the GOP.
A rising profile for Pence is unlikely to strengthen his relationship with a besieged president.
In the United Kingdom, the odds are growing that Trump may not finish his term.
So how does he regain the enthusiasm and energy he exhibited in previous crises, with such talk in the air?
A debilitating and potentially dangerous time for President Trump has now begun, courtesy of his deputy attorney general.
