. Trump's 'Taxpayer First' Budget
Last month when President Donald Trump released his plans to cut individual and corporate tax rates, it was touted as being "the biggest tax cut and the largest tax plan in the history of our country." And indeed it was and will be should it ever reach his desk unmolested by Congress. (Fat chance, we know.) Democrats were quick to blast it with their typical and tired refrain of it being a plan that favored the rich, because in Democrats' minds the government is more entitled to your money than you are. We "can't afford it," they cried — after they doubled our national debt, by the way. But Democrats as well as everyone else understood that tax cuts meant government spending cuts would be needed.
On Monday, Trump released his proposed budget and, true to form, it offsets the predicted drop in revenue produced by his tax cuts with cuts in government spending. Trump's "taxpayer-first' budget proposal would cut $3.6 trillion in federal spending and produce a balanced budget by 2027. And as Trump promised, the budget cuts don't touch Medicare or Social Security.
So what does get gut? The short answer is welfare spending and regulations. With national debt sitting a $20 trillion and growing, the government clearly has a spending problem, and much of it is through income redistribution. Mick Mulvaney, Trump's budget director, stated, "We cannot continue to simply measure our compassion or our success by the amount of money we spend. We are going to measure our compassion and success by actually helping people and by respecting taxpayers who pay for it in the first place."
Medicaid would see the largest cut at $800 billion over the next decade, which is based in part on the passage of the Republican replacement of liar-nObamaCare. The food stamp program, which grew precipitously under Barack liar-nObama, would see a reduction of $193 billion, or 25%, over 10 years. New work requirements for individuals receiving financial aid are also included in the proposal. A growing economy will help.
Trump's proposal is clearly an aggressive budgeting plan and it remains to be seen how much of it will get through Congress, but he's intent on putting the government on a spending diet. ~The Patriot Post

Pulosi Admits Trump Witch Hunt Based On
Fabrication, “Hearsay” – Maybe Mueller…
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ One of the reasons, aside from the creeping dementia, that Nancy Pulosi and other Democrats talk in spurts, is that they are simultaneously making false accusations and guarding against implicating themselves... Everything has to be double or triple checked before it goes past their lying tongues and out into the air. Nancy Pulosi tells big lies like the rest of them, but sometimes fails on the self-screening. She admits in this clip, that there is no evidence of collusion between President Trump and the Russians and that the current claims are set in an environment of hearsay, which is an overly generous statement of their level of credibility. Deliberate falsehoods are not hearsay, they’re called lies... http://rickwells.us/pelosi-admits-trump-witch-hunt-based-fabrication-hearsay-mueller/
CAIR Ups the Ante on its
Shameful Smear Campaign
by IPT News
{investigativeproject.org} ~ Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a news release last week touting an Air Force decision to review courses on prison radicalization taught by Patrick Dunleavy, an Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) fellow... "We welcome this review and hope it results in our military personnel receiving training based on balanced and accurate information, not on personal or political agendas," said CAIR-Florida Communications Director Wilfredo A. Ruiz. The statement actually exposes the empty and cynical nature of CAIR's complaint and shows that the true intent is to pressure the Air Force into silencing Dunleavy. CAIR has no idea what is in Dunleavy's instructional material. If it did, it would cite examples to illustrate its concern. This is the second release in CAIR's campaign against Dunleavy. Neither cites anything related to his teaching...https://www.investigativeproject.org/6156/cair-ups-the-ante-on-its-shameful-smear-campaign#by IPT News

On Evidence Of Trump-Russia Collusion
by Harry Hibbs
{usatwentyfour.com} ~ Ex-CIA Chief John Brennan testified before the House Intelligence Committee Tuesday and spoke about his concerns of possible Trump-Russia collusion... He said he was concerned by intelligence showing contacts between Russia and US persons. Rep. Trey Growdy asked Brennan specifically, “Did you have evidence of a connection between the Trump campaign and Russian state actors?” Brennan responded saying, “As I said, Mr. Gowdy, I don’t do evidence.” Brennan insisted that the Russians did interfere with the 2016 election, however; he says it’s something that the Russians have done dating back to the 1960’s and doesn’t think it was worse this time around... http://www.usatwentyfour.com/rep-trey-gowdy-grills-former-cia-director-john-brennan-evidence-trump-russia-collusion/

Intelligence With Russians
by Andrew Kerr
{westernjournalism.com} ~ Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Monday that President Donald Trump will not apologize for allegedly sharing classified intelligence regarding ISIS with the Russian foreign minister and ambassador at an Oval Office meeting in April... “I don’t know that there’s anything to apologize for,” Tillerson told reporters en route to Tel Aviv aboard Air Force One. The Washington Post reported last week that the president had shared “code-word information” about an ISIS plot to deploy laptop bombs on commercial airline flights with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during an in-person meeting at the White House... http://www.westernjournalism.com/tillerson-trump-wont-apologize-for-sharing-intelligence-with-russians/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=conservativebyte&utm_campaign=dailypm&utm_content=libertyalliance

a rat in Seth Rich case

{wnd.com} ~ Some big names in media and politics are demanding to know: Why won’t anyone thoroughly investigate the mysterious murder of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich... and its possible connection to DNC emails leaked to WikiLeaks during the 2016 presidential campaign? “He’s been killed, and apparently nothing serious has been done to investigate his murder,” said former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, calling the murder case a “very strange story” and linking it to DNC emails released to WikiLeaks. Other pundits chimed in, including talk-radio hosts Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham and Herman Cain, as well as activist and blogger Pamela Geller and Fox Business Network anchor Lou Dobbs... http://www.wnd.com/2017/05/big-list-of-people-who-smell-a-rat-in-seth-rich-case/.

{townhall.com} ~ Speaking from his home in Jerusalem Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nentanyahu welcomed President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania to the Holy City. The two leaders gave remarks about the issues facing the region and bolstered the strong alliance between the countries.
"We appreciate the reassertion of American leadership in the Middle East," Netanyahu said, taking a swipe at the previous administration. "For the first time in my lifetime, I see a real hope for peace."
Netanyahu praised the President's recent action to bomb a Syrian airbase in response to President Assad's chemical weapons attack and applauded the administration's stance against Iran. He also noted new partnerships forming in the Middle East among previous enemies in order to fight the common threat of terrorism.
"Today we reaffirm the unbreakable bond of friendship between Israel and the United States," Trump said. "We want Israel to have peace."
"There are many, many things that can happen now that would never have been able to happen before," he continued.
The President visited the Western Wall earlier in the day and will visit Bethlehem with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas Tuesday before speaking at the Israel Museum. He departs the country for Brussels late Tuesday night.
