President Trump Talks To Reporters 
on Firing Mueller, RINO-McCain’s Condition

{rickwells.us} ~ The sounds of the helicopter in the background make some of the reporter’s question... hard to make out, but the key portions are clear enough to understand.  President Trump is asked if he’s thinking about or considering firing chief inquisitor of the Russia, Russia, Russia witch hunt, Robert Mueller. He quickly answers, “No, I’m not.” He then takes a jab at another reporter asking, “What, are you surprised?” Apparently Trump got the best of the cowardly criminals in the Democrat Party, including the former Attorney General in the liar-nObama crime syndicate, scum-Eric Holder and the Bobble-Head scum-Adam Schiff. scum-Schiff suffered a snowflake  meltdown on Twitter over the prospect. scum-Holder went even further, tweeting out a threatened incitement to riot to his and liar-nObama’s thug and thugette army if the blatant attempt to fabricate an impeachment is interfered with... https://rickwells.us/trump-reporters-mueller-mccain/

{townhall.com} ~ There is something rotten at the Federal Bureau of Investigation... I mean all of this is just absurd. We have two FBI agents texting one another, one of which is having an extramarital affair with the other, cryptically talking about “insurance” against a Trump presidency. That text between these two agents was delivered on August 15, 2016. You also have Andrew Weissmann, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s top lieutenant, voicing praise for then-acting Attorney General Sally Yates for refusing to enact President Trump’s executive order on immigration, which got her fired. Then, there’s another DOJ official, Bruce Ohr, who was demoted for meeting the authors of the infamous and unverified Trump dossier, Fusion GPS; Ohr’s wife, Nellie, worked for that firm during the 2016 election. If there is nothing rotten at the FBI, then it’s credibility is definitely in question, something that The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board mentioned in their op-ed about this mess... https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2017/12/15/wsj-theres-mounting-evidence-of-election-meddling-coming-from-the-fbi-n2422639

Shocking Corruption: liar-nObama’s State
Department Let liar-Clinton Destroy Evidence

{conservativefreepress.com} ~ New documents obtained by Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act request show... the lengths to which President liar-nObama’s State Department aided and abetted former Secretary of State liar-Hillary Clinton in her quest to get her hands on sensitive records so that they would be removed from the public eye…forever. The request, which included a demand for all DS-1904 forms completed by liar-Clinton, former Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, former aide Huma Abedin, and former aide Jacob Sullivan, went a long ways toward revealing the level of corruption that allowed liar-Clinton to get away with her federal crimes. “We already know the liar-nObama State Department let liar-Hillary Clinton steal and then delete her government emails, which included classified information,” said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. “But these new records show that was only part of the scandal. These new documents show the liar-nObama State Department had a deal with liar-Hillary Clinton to hide her calls logs and schedules, which would be contrary to FOIA and other laws.”...   http://www.conservativefreepress.com/obama/shocking-corruption-obamas-state-department-let-clinton-destroy-evidence/

{legalinsurrection.com} ~ In 2014, cocaine was second only behind heroin in U.S. drug deaths... A major player in the cocaine traffic into the U.S. was the Iranian-sponsored terrorist group Hezbollah. For year it has been known that Hezbollah has infiltrated criminal gangs in South America and set up its own billion-dollar international criminal enterprise to finance its terror activities. None of this was a secret. U.S. law enforcement came up with an aggressive plan to take down the Hezbollah international network and its key individuals. But it never happened. We now know why. Politico Magazine has an amazing expose on how the liar-nObama White House derailed the plans to take down the Hezbollah network, and to allow Hezbollah to continue drug-running into the U.S., in order to avoid upsetting the Iran nuclear deal.  https://www.politico.com/interactives/2017/obama-hezbollah-drug-trafficking-investigation/ ... https://legalinsurrection.com/2017/12/obama-allowed-hezbollah-cocaine-running-into-u-s-in-quest-for-iran-nuke-deal/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LegalInsurrection+%28Le%C2%B7gal+In%C2%B7sur%C2%B7rec%C2%B7tion%29

{rickwells.us} ~ The Russians warned us about the Tsarnaev brothers before they attacked the Boston Marathon in 2013... but the warnings weren’t enough to prevent the attack. Now the United States has reciprocated with an alert to the Russians of a terrorist attack in the final stages that our CIA uncovered and the intelligence was acted upon and saved lives. The Russian President was grateful for the help against our common enemy and phoned President Trump to say thank you. President Putin telephoned President Trump with on Sunday to personally express his appreciation for the tip of an attack that was planned for St. Petersburg, a city quite familiar to Putin, where he obtained his law degree, graduating from Saint Petersburg State University in 1975... https://rickwells.us/putin-trump-cia-coup/

An Alaskan Christmas Story

{townhall.com} ~ Americans need a good dose of Christmas.

As a nation, we are desperately lost, emotionally broken, spiritually deprived and headed for the same fate our “unadoptable” Alaskan husky dog was before my husband and I welcomed her into our home.

It’s been four years since we adopted Kenai, a skeletal ball of nerves wrapped in cinnamon colored fur with spotty white “socks.”  Obviously abused, she had zero trust in humans and no confidence in herself. Animal control officers almost deemed her unadoptable.

She was literally scared of her shadow, fearing door entryways and basically everything inside our home, including us. She parked herself on our new chair in the living room corner. For three months she ate, drank and napped when she wasn’t staring at us and only left her perch when we’d take her outside to walk and potty.

One cold and snowy winter night with near zero visibility, we feared this one-sided love affair had come to an end when she got away and bolted up and around our mountain. The more we called, chased and searched, the deeper into the woods and higher she climbed. Though we were forced to give up our search for the night, we refused to give up hope.

Miraculously, she found her way back to our yard in the wee hours of an Alaska winter morning’s deep darkness. Despite our loving calls, she was afraid to come inside until we came up with a far-fetched idea to coax her inside walking our tiny terrier nicknamed “the rabbit killer” for reasons not worthy of this column on a leash nearby in hopes that she would follow.

She did.

Although we loved Kenai deeply and wanted desperately for her to come inside, we were at a complete loss on how to effectively communicate that message. Kenai needed an intermediary. A conciliator. A go-between. In our terrier, Kenai found a canine compatriot to communicate “There’s nothing to fear, come near, welcome home” in a way she could understand.

Four years later, Kenai’s doing great. She’ll always be a little quirky, and full-blown crazy sometimes if something snaps in her head and sets her off. She’s slowly learning to do normal things like eat her food on the floor and play with toys if no one is watching.  She loves to go for rides, begs for us to pet her, and even dares to bark now, with the cutest, most feminine and sweet bark you’ve ever heard.

We added another sled dog to our pack, a well-balanced rescue that came with an amazing story all his own that I’ll share one day when the time is right. He’s rubbing off on Kenai in all the right ways. As for our terrier, well, she’s moved on from rabbits to shrews. I guess we should be grateful.

With happy ears and a look of contentment on her face, Kenai’s resting in her now-worn out leather chair as I write.  I think back to that winter morning years ago and the extremely loved shell of a dog curled up in that chair. I realize I learned something big about God’s love that day. An Alaskan Christmas story all my own.

God sought us before we knew Him, reached out to us before we trusted Him and loved us before we knew how to love him back. He sent someone like us…an intermediary...Jesus, to communicate his message in a way we could understand. Through Jesus’ birth, eventual death, and resurrection, we come to understand as much as is humanly possible that God’s love for us is so deep and wide and high that we cannot escape his notice – even when we try.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)
