Maximum Mouth Maxine Lies – Claims
She’s Never Called For Trump Impeachment
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Rep Maxine Waters is a caricature of what a dishonest, lying, hypocritical Democrat is, and would be so extreme as to be humorous if the situation weren’t what it is... She’s got power in her elected office, misplaced as it might be, so her lack of credibility or principles is a concern. In her interview she illustrates that point, after being introduced as “one of the President’s most vocal critics these days,” which brings a contrived smile to her hideous mug. The host reads her most recent tweet from earlier that morning which stated, “The President is a liar, his actions are contemptible, and I’m going to fight every day until he’s impeached.” He asks her point blank, “What are the impeachable offenses, Congresswoman?” She then engages in a fleet-footed shuffle that would make the guy who previously owner her hat, James Brown envious. She starts reciting the false Democrat talking points that are nothing more than assertions with no basis of fact to hold them up. Because she claims the Russians hacked into the DNC the question then becomes one of whether or not there was collusion... http://rickwells.us/maximum-mouth-maxine-lies-claims-never-called-trump-impeachment/

Trump Keeps his Promise to Support Veterans
by Alice Greene
{punchingbagpost.com} ~ Amid much confusion regarding the state of America’s healthcare system, President Trump plans to sign a bill that will temporarily extend a program that gives military vets access to private-sector healthcare... The bill, which Trump will sign on Wednesday, is designed to provide temporary services while Veterans’ Affairs (VA) Sec. David Shulkin develops a long-term plan that will enable vets to easily secure healthcare outside the VA medical system. The legislation allows the VA to operate its Choice program until funding runs out. The Choice program has about $1 billion in its account; it would have expired in August without the bill... http://punchingbagpost.com/trump-keeps-his-promise-to-support-veterans
.Communist China Opens
“Global Governance” School
by Alex Newman
{thenewamerican.com} ~ At a newly established “School of Global Governance,” one of the most brutal and murderous dictatorships on the planet is training what it hopes will be the managers and leadership of the emerging “global governance” system... That dictatorship is the one enslaving Communist China, responsible for murdering more people than any other government in human history. But as the regime proudly celebrates its growing role in what it openly touts as the “New World Order,” humanity must resist before it is too late, or freedom may be extinguished worldwide. The Chinese regime is shouting about its new “School of Global Governance” from the rooftops. In an article published this month by Beijing's propaganda and espionage apparatus Xinhua headlined "China opens new college to train professionals of global governance," the regime said the school would train “more multilingual professionals with global vision and cross-cultural communication proficiency.” The school for indoctrinating and training future globalist-communist leaders was inaugurated this month at the Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU), known as the “cradle of diplomats” for Communist China and international communism more broadly... https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/asia/item/25838-communist-china-opens-global-governance-school?utm_source=iContactPro&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TNA+Top+Daily+Headlines&utm_content=TNA+Top+Daily+Headlines+April+19+2017
.'All lies!' Furious Coulter goes public
on war with U.C. Berkeley
by Garth Kant
{wnd.com} ~ A defiant and furious Ann Coulter explained to WND in detail why she is vowing to show up and give a scheduled speech at the University of California at Berkeley... even though the university had canceled her appearance just hours earlier. “I AM speaking,” she proclaimed in an email to WND. Coulter made clear she is livid about the cancellation and the university’s apparent disregard for creating a safe environment for her scheduled speech. That was evidenced by her use of all capital letters to make the point that she has not agreed to the cancellation. “THEY’VE CANCELED — ALTHOUGH I MET EVERY ONE OF THEIR SILLY DEMANDS. I’M STILL SPEAKING,” she vowed... http://www.wnd.com/2017/04/all-lies-furious-coulter-goes-public-on-war-with-u-c-berkeley/
.Confirmed: John Brennan Colluded With
Foreign Spies to Defeat Trump
by George Neumayr
{spectator.org} ~ An article in the Guardian last week provides more confirmation that John Brennan was the American progenitor of political espionage aimed at defeating Donald Trump... One side did collude with foreign powers to tip the election — liar-Hillary’s. Seeking to retain his position as CIA director under liar-Hillary, Brennan teamed up with British spies and Estonian spies to cripple Trump’s candidacy. He used their phony intelligence as a pretext for a multi-agency investigation into Trump, which led the FBI to probe a computer server connected to Trump Tower and gave cover to Susan Rice, among other liar-Hillary supporters, to spy on Trump and his people. John Brennan’s CIA operated like a branch office of the liar-Hillary campaign, leaking out mentions of this bogus investigation to the press in the hopes of inflicting maximum political damage on Trump. An official in the intelligence community tells TAS that Brennan’s retinue of political radicals didn’t even bother to hide their activism, decorating offices with “liar-Hillary for president cups” and other campaign paraphernalia... https://spectator.org/confirmed-john-brennan-colluded-with-foreign-spies-to-defeat-trump/

Why don't we care about the
slaughter of Christians?
by Minister Michael Brown
{wnd.com} ~ A United Airlines passenger is violently hauled off a plane, and there is national outrage, rightly so. Press Secretary Sean Spicer says that Assad is worse than Hitler, and again, there is national outrage, rightly so. Forty-five Egyptian Christians are slaughtered by ISIS while attending church services on Palm Sunday and scores of others are wounded, and there is barely a national yawn. How can this be?
You might say, “That’s easy. The first two events took place right in front of our eyes, here in America. The third event took place in Egypt, and as tragic as it was, it’s a matter of out of sight, out of mind.”
I understand that. But what about the Islamic terror attack on the Brussels airport last year, killing more than 30 people? That was covered by our media day and night, with footage from the blast shown over and over by the hour.
And what about the Islamic terror attack in France, when a driver plowed his truck into hundreds of people in Nice, killing more than 80? That, too, received day and night coverage, with the bloody footage, including dead children lying in the streets, put before us by the hour.
But when it’s Christians being slaughtered by Islamic terrorists while worshiping the Lord in the safety of their church buildings, it only receives passing mention on our networks. Why?
We have the video footage of the attacks, which took place in two different locations in Egypt. We see the bomber being directed to walk through the metal detector, and then we see the massive explosion. And we see the carnage within one of the church buildings – blood all over the floor; corpses scattered in the debris; wooden pews torn apart; the sound of people moaning and crying.
The video footage is compelling and agonizing, just as much as any of the footage from Brussels or Nice. Yet most of us have not seen this footage on major TV networks, or if it has been aired on these networks, it has received a fraction of the coverage that the other attacks have received. Why?
I’m not the only one asking this question, nor is this a new question. For the last decade, a Christian genocide has been taking place in the Middle East, representing one of the ugliest chapters in recent human history, yet most Americans remain sadly uninformed. The secular media are complicit.
As expressed by none other than Piers Morgan, “Unfortunately, if it happens in the Middle East, this kind of atrocity, it just does not seem to attract the kind of media attention in America that it would if it happened, as we’ve seen in attacks in Sweden the last few days, in London two weeks ago. I was there for that. Huge attention in the American media. In Paris and Nice. These get huge attention. Yet what happened in Egypt was unbelievably significant.
“If you look at what ISIS really stands for, what they are carrying out now in the Middle East and the East in particular, is that it (sic) kind of genocidal attack on Christians and Christianity. They want Christianity eradicated, and they want to convert all Muslims to their crusade. They want it to be a holy war. They want Christians gone. And I don’t think that narrative is getting the attention it should get in the American media and, I have to say, I think in other media around the world.”
These are strong words: What happened in Egypt is a “genocidal attack on Christians and Christianity.” These Islamic terrorists “want Christianity eradicated. … They want Christians gone.”
Morgan added, “I think this is a huge story. This is the kind of story that ought to be dominating cable news in America. It should be dominating headlines around the world. ISIS have declared war on Christianity. I’m not seeing that being covered enough.”
He is absolutely right, and somehow, the secular media are barely covering one of the most important humanitarian stories of the age. Again I ask: Why?
We’re talking about multiplied hundreds of thousands of Christians being displaced, exiled, attacked, maimed, tortured, starved and killed. We’re talking about a crisis of epic proportions, yet the news coverage of this ongoing tragedy receives is negligible. Why?
Whatever the reason, there is a solution to the media’s relative silence.
All of us can raise our voices and draw attention to the suffering of our brothers and sisters in the Middle East and elsewhere. And all of us can pray for their protection, their courage and their comfort. In the words of the letter to the Hebrews, “Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies” (Heb. 13:3 NLT).
