Trump's Smart Political Play on Trade
The Republican Party has officially advocated free trade for years, including the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and, albeit while less unified, the current Trans-Pacific Partnership. That's why it was rather jarring to see the party's presumptive nominee throw that out the window in a major speech Tuesday. Donald Trump promised to exit NAFTA if it's not renegotiated, and he likewise said he'd kill the TPP.
Trump's position isn't new and it isn't surprising, especially given that Republican voters aren't so keen on what free trade deals have done (real and perceived) to American manufacturing and jobs. The American middle class feels the squeeze, sees the shuttered factories and can't find anything at Walmart made in America. Thus Trump's position really resonates, whereas the traditional party position just seems out of touch — like everything else from the Beltway. "On trade, on immigration, on foreign policy, we are going to put America first again," Trump said. Who could disagree with that?
Trump's real political strategy is simple. liar-Hilly Clinton once called the TPP "the gold standard" for trade deals. Now she opposes it. And while union bosses fell into line behind liar-Clinton, her policies are an extension of Barack nObama's, and those policies hurt American workers. So not only has Trump neutralized another issue liar-Clinton might have used to attack him, he's appealing across party lines in hopes of bringing in blue-collar workers to the GOP tent come November.

Jihad Guide Declares War on 'Hate Crime' Label
The Islamic terror attack inside a homosexual nightclub in Orlando compelled a terrorism guide to offer some "clarifications" on proper jihad. The reason? The manufactured "hate crime" label is distracting from the Islamist mainspring.
According to The Foreign Desk, the latest magazine, titled "Inspire Guide: Orlando Operation," a publication of Al-Qaida of the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), says that "[m]ost of the individuals present at pulse nightclub were Latino." The group adds "it is better to avoid targeting places and crowds where minorities are generally found in America [because] the federal government will be the one taking full responsibility." The solution is "targeting areas where the Anglo-Saxon community is generally concentrated."
Attorney General Loretta Lynch recently stated of the Orlando attack, "This was clearly an act of terror and an act of hate." That's true. But it also leaves out the fact Islamists hate and aspire to slaughter the "infidel," which literally defines anyone who rejects radical Islam. The nObama administration would rather play politics by suggesting the Orlando massacre was inspired by guns, homophobia and any other supposed right-wing issue. But terrorists are more than willing to adjust accordingly.
Speaking of terrorism, the Islamic State attacked the Istanbul airport Wednesday, killing at least 41 and wounding 239. Several observations: 1. Leftmedia reports indicate at least one of the three attackers used an automatic rifle, which, if true, is opposed to the semiautomatic used in Orlando. Conflating the two often serves the Left's purposes. But the real carnage was inflicted with suicide vests. 2. Secretary of State hanoi-John Kerry says the attack shows that the Islamic State is "desperate." No, far from having ISIL "contained" as hanoi-Kerry's boss ridiculously asserted, it shows that its reach extends into Europe (yes, the Istanbul airport is in Europe — its third busiest — and Turkey is a NATO nation) and the U.S. 3. Unlike Orlando, there are no claims that Christian right-wingers bear responsibility. Yet. -The Patriot Post

liar-Clinton Staffer Refused Every Question
Regarding Private Server
by Trey Sanchez

{truthrevolt.org} ~ Former State Department IT staffer for liar-Hilly Clinton Bryan Pagliano refused every question he was asked during his 90-minute deposition under oath regarding then-Sec. liar-Clinton's private e-mail server, pleading the fifth 125 times... Helping him along was his lawyer Mark MacDougall who consistently objected and shot down each question other than Pagliano stating his name for the record asked by Ramona Cotca, who is representing Judicial Watch in the lawsuit. On the questions Pagliano didn't plead the fifth, MacDougall stated they were "outside the scope of the court's order" or "outside the scope of discovery" and would instruct his client not to answer. "It would be funny if it wasn't so serious," conservative filmmaker Phelim McAleer said in an e-mail to TruthRevolt. Because a President liar-Clinton-appointed federal judge has ordered the filmed deposition sealed so they can't be used against Mrs. liar-Clinton during the election, McAleer (Fracknation, Gosnell, FERGUSON) decided to take the released transcripts and film a verbatim re-enactment...

{usni.org} ~ A Russian frigate again came dangerously close to U.S. ships tasked with striking ISIS targets in Syria from the Eastern Mediterranean... coming within 150 yards of the Dwight D. Eisenhower carrier strike group while the carrier was conducting flight operations on Thursday, USNI News has learned. According to an early incident report obtained by USNI News, the Russian Navy frigate Yaroslav Mudry (FF-777) made several erratic movements and inconsistent radio transmissions to the guided-missile cruiser USS San Jacinto (CG-56) about 6:00 A.M. EST on Thursday. “The actions of FF-777 were abnormal as they displayed maneuvers rarely seen by professional mariners at sea combined with an aggressive approach toward [San Jacinto],” read the assessment... https://news.usni.org/2016/06/30/truman-strike-group-flight-operations?utm_source=USNI+News&utm_campaign=af9590f65e-USNI_NEWS_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0dd4a1450b-af9590f65e-231491269&mc_cid=af9590f65e&mc_eid=3999f18767

Supreme Leader signals possible enhanced role
for Iran’s Armed Forces General Staff
by Marie Donovan
.
.
{aei.org} ~ For those who thought the Islamic Republic of Iran was ready to turn over a new leaf and otherwise stop roiling the waters of the greater Middle East, bad news this week... After 25 years of incumbency, Major General Hassan Firouzabadi, leader of the Armed Forces General Staff (AFGS) — the body that oversees both Iran’s Artesh (conventional forces) and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) — was handed his walking papers and replaced with IRGC Major General Mohammad Bagheri. Far from a simple shake-up, the move by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei may signal his intention to give the AFGS a more significant role in coordinating the armed forces’ increasing joint activities abroad in places like Syria. Appointing someone with Bagheri’s formal military background hints at the enhanced role Khamenei may envision for the AFGS. Bagheri moved up the intelligence ranks during and after the Iran-Iraq War. He served as intelligence deputy for a major operational base and for the IRGC Ground Forces during the war, and later as the head of IRGC intelligence. Post-war, Bagheri became AFGS intelligence deputy and later AFGS intelligence and operations deputy...

Credit a failure of elites, not bigotry
of the masses, for Brexit
by Michael Barone
.
.
{aei.org} ~ Bigotry! Nativism! Racism! That’s what elites in Britain, Europe and here have been howling, explanations for why 52 percent of a higher-than-general-election turnout of British voters voted for their nation to leave the European Union... There is plenty of bigotry, condescension and snobbery, except that it’s almost entirely in the accusations and the accusers. And it’s incoherent to claim, as some do, that it’s undemocratic for voters to decide. That amounts to saying that ordinary people should be content to be ruled by their betters. And if anything drove the Leave vote, it’s that attitude. It’s true that college graduates tended to vote Remain and less educated English and Welsh tended to vote Leave. Both the posh precincts and immigrant quarters of Inner London voted 70-plus percent Remain, as did Oxford and Cambridge. But the rest of England and Wales, including Labour factory towns and Conservative countrysides, voted 55 percent Leave...

liar-Hilly secret has D.C. 'scared to death'

{wnd.com} ~ liar-Hilly Clinton is seeking the presidency because of her insatiable quest for power, but she is both ethically and medically unfit for office – and she knows dark secrets that have Washington politicians “scared to death of her”... according to Bill liar-Clinton’s former lover who is now the author of an explosive new book. Dolly Kyle is a former attorney who dated Bill liar-Clinton in high school and carried on an affair with the future president both before and after liar-Clinton married liar-Hilly Rodham and until liar-Clinton ran for president in 1992. Kyle told WND and Radio America she has since repented of her actions with liar-Clinton, but she said her experience with liar-Hilly convinces her America cannot afford to choose her in November...

Gun Used in Paris Terrorist Attacks
Came from Phoenix
.
{judicialwatch.org} ~ One of the guns used in the November 13, 2015 Paris terrorist attacks came from Phoenix, Arizona where the nObama administration allowed criminals to buy thousands of weapons illegally in a deadly and futile “gun-walking” operation known as “Fast and Furious.”... A Report of Investigation (ROI) filed by a case agent in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) tracked the gun used in the Paris attacks to a Phoenix gun owner who sold it illegally, “off book,” Judicial Watch’s law enforcement sources confirm. Federal agents tracing the firearm also found the Phoenix gun owner to be in possession of an unregistered fully automatic weapon, according to law enforcement officials with firsthand knowledge of the investigation. The investigative follow up of the Paris weapon consisted of tracking a paper trail using a 4473 form, which documents a gun’s ownership history by, among other things, using serial numbers. The Phoenix gun owner that the weapon was traced back to was found to have at least two federal firearms violations—for selling one weapon illegally and possessing an unregistered automatic—but no enforcement or prosecutorial action was taken against the individual. Instead, ATF leaders went out of their way to keep the information under the radar and ensure that the gun owner’s identity was “kept quiet,” according to law enforcement sources involved with the case...

Mrs. liar-Clinton’s Benghazi Chapter
by Sharyl Attkisson
.
.
{sharylattkisson.com} ~ …In what looks like a striking attempt to rewrite her post-Benghazi narrative and speeches, liar-Clinton goes heavy in her book on recounting instances in which she used terms such as “heav- ily armed militants,” “violent attackers,” or “extremists,” but she con- veniently omits how she repeatedly pointed to the YouTube video... For example, she writes in her book that on September 12, “I laid out the facts as we knew them” to the press corps, reporting that “heavily armed militants” had assaulted the compounds. She fails to mention that, for the second day in a row, she pointed to the video. Same with the statement she made on September 13 when she ap- peared with Morocco’s foreign minister. Same with the statement she made on September 14 when she met with the victims’ families at Andrews Air Force Base. Of that meeting, liar-Clinton writes in her book, “All you can do is of- fer a human touch, a kind word, a gentle embrace.” She leaves out the part about her speech at that same event in which she stated, “We’ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with.” And she doesn’t ad- dress the reports from victims’ family members who said that liar-Clinton privately promised them that she would hunt down the maker of the YouTube video—never mentioning that she intended to hunt down the terrorists who actually killed their loved ones... https://sharylattkisson.com/part-2-more-on-mrs-clintons-benghazi-chapter/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+SharylAttkisson+%28Sharyl+Attkisson%29

{familysecuritymatters.org} ~ For me, these names matter: Christopher Stevens, US Ambassador to Libya, Sean Smith, career diplomat, Glen Doherty, former Navy Seal, and Tyrone Woods, former Navy Seal. All died in the service of the United States... They left behind loved ones who are owed the truth, and the sincere support of a grateful nation. But are we grateful? In the last few days much of what I have heard has been disgusting. Comments like "it's over" or "it is merely a partisan ploy to keep liar-Hilly from the White House" or "mistakes happen in war, let's move on." I'm not sure what makes me sicker; the notion that liar-Hilly Clinton and Barack nObama allowed to die a US ambassador and brave Americans trying to protect him. Or the notion that both of them, liar-Hilly especially, tried to cover up the mistakes, and activities that allowed Americans to be slaughtered, just to protect their campaigns, and legacy. Or the recognition my fellow citizens and much of the media are willingly providing political cover, excuses and support for liar-Hilly Clinton - just so their candidate can win the presidency...

No Neutral in the Egypt-Qatar Quarrel

{defenddemocracy.org} ~ An Egyptian court this month sentenced former President Mohamed Morsi to life in prison, and ordered the death penalty for two Al Jazeera journalists and four others for leaking state secrets to Qatar... The persistent acrimony between Cairo and Doha – key regional players each with close strategic ties to the United States – represents a diplomatic challenge that leaves Washington with few promising choices. Rights groups labeled the proceedings "ludicrous" and a "sham," and Qatar's Foreign Ministry dismissed the verdict as "invalid." The sentences may seem harsh – particularly as Morsi has already been sentenced to life imprisonment and death in other cases – but should not have come as a surprise. Egypt and Qatar have fundamentally opposing regional strategies, and the case underscores that despite occasional efforts at rapprochement, their conflicting goals will keep them on a collision course. Since late 2014, Cairo and Doha have each made a number of gestures suggesting a desire for rapprochement. After arm-twisting by Gulf allies, Egypt released three Al Jazeera journalists from prison, and even fired an intelligence chief who had run afoul of Doha.

Horror and Hush-Up in Twin Falls, Idaho
by Michelle Malkin
.
{freedomsback.com} ~ Something wicked happened in Idaho’s rural Magic Valley. The evil has been compounded by politicians, media and special interest groups doing their damnedest to suppress the story and quell a righteous citizen rebellion.On June 7, a brief news item appeared on local Twin Falls, Idaho-based KMVT about a “reported sexual assault that possibly occurred near the Fawnbrook Apartments” five days earlier. Unconfirmed accounts of the alleged crime on conservative-leaning websites, plus reports from area members of anti-jihad activist Brigitte Gabriel’s Act for America group and longtime watchdog Ann Corcoran’s Refugee Resettlement Watch blog, culminated in coverage on the powerhouse Drudge Report.
The social media groundswell, untethered from the constraints of political correctness, forced government authorities to respond.
Police and the local prosecutor’s office grudgingly confirmed that an investigation had begun into the incident. The victim: A mentally disabled 5-year-old girl. The alleged perpetrators: Three boys, ages 7, 10 and 14, from Sudanese and Iraqi immigrant families predominantly Muslim who have been in the country for less than two years — all but confirming that they are refugees.
What happened? The case is under seal because it involves minors, but prosecutor Grant Loebs said there is videotape of the alleged sexual assault a fact which local activists first divulged. Two of the boys are in custody. It’s not clear what happened to the third.
Here’s the sickening thing: The people who should have been asking tough questions — like, you know, mainstream journalists — have spent more time attacking local whistleblowers and bloggers than they have spent demanding answers and holding public officials accountable.
Why? Consider the backdrop. Residents in Twin Falls have been worried about the impact of an increasing influx of refugees, many from jihad-coddling countries, over the past several years. Their concerns about crime, welfare, health care, and schools echo those of communities across the country who are bearing the coercive brunt of Beltway bleeding hearts’ refugee resettlement policies enacted in a shroud of secrecy.
Members of the Twin Falls City Council smugly likened refugee resettlement critics to “white supremacists.” Regional newspapers including the Idaho Statesman and the Spokane Spokesman-Review rushed to discredit the on-scene reporting of internet writers such as Leo Hohmann, who had interviewed a witness to the crime for World Net Daily.
“Jolene Payne, an 89-year-old retired nurse who lives at the complex” told Hohmann that she spotted one of the boys “taking pictures with a camera” outside the apartment complex’s laundry room. She went inside and found the 5-year-old naked with two of the younger boys naked standing over her. “The worst thing was the way they peed all over her clothes,” she recounted.
Pro-mass immigration advocates may not like the sources of some of the original reporting that forced the case into the sunlight, but the watchdogs got more right than wrong. These critics now have Twin Falls’ political leaders sputtering to cover their backsides and police brass defending themselves against explosive charges that they dragged their feet.
Instead, the “professional journalists” dwelt on a few early factual errors about whether the boys were from Syria and whether a knife was used — and filled their dismissive articles with “can’t we all just get along” propaganda from refugee resettlement advocates and contractors with vested financial interests in the game.
The callousness of local officials and indifference of local and national media reminds me very much of an international incident that went viral on YouTube earlier this year in the eastern German town of Bad Schlema — located in a region overrun by Muslim refugees.
A concerned grandfather whose granddaughter under the age of 10 was sexually harassed by Muslim migrants protested to mayor Jens Muller. In response to his plea for help, Muller told the elderly man to direct his family to “not walk in areas” where refugees would be.
“Just don’t provoke them and don’t walk in those areas.”
The grandfather lamented at the public meeting: “You’re not allowed to walk in your own city anymore.”
To which the jaded mayor replied: “This is the way it is.”
Thank goodness there are Americans still fighting against the collective shrug of sovereignty surrender. Louder, please.
