Stop Smearing Sebastian Gorka
by Gregg Roman
{meforum.org} ~ White House counterterrorism advisor Sebastian Gorka has been the subject of severe criticism in recent months. With the departure of Steve Bannon from the administration, many are calling for Gorka to be fired next... A recent piece in Rolling Stone questioned the validity of his Ph.D. and labeled him something of a neophyte and an extremist. The Forward tied Gorka to a right-wing Hungarian secret society called Vitezi Rend. These stories make for great political attacks, but are they valid? And, perhaps more importantly, setting aside all of the charges against him, are Gorka's views on terrorism and how our nation should combat it prudent? First, let's examine the accusations on anti-Semitism and secret societies. Gorka, on the record, has denied being a member of the Vitezi Rend. He was also called an anti-Semite, and a video used to incriminate him was conveniently edited to remove his condemnation of the world's oldest hatred. Still, he's gone on the record and denied this allegation, too... http://www.meforum.org/6876/stop-smearing-sebastian-gorka?utm_source=Middle+East+Forum&utm_campaign=6316940cb0-roman_gregg_2017_08_20&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_086cfd423c-6316940cb0-33703665&goal=0_086cfd423c-6316940cb0-33703665by Gregg Roman

Bannon Destroys Lib Narrative With Epic 5-Word Exit
by Benjamin Arie
{conservativetribune.com} ~ The right-leaning mogul is back at what he does best, and his plans were summarized with just five words: “Going to war for Trump.”... “If there’s any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I’m leaving the White House and going to war for Trump against his opponents — on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America,” Bannon announced to Bloomberg on Friday. That statement came just hours after it was revealed that Bannon had resigned as an official member of Trump’s advisory team... http://conservativetribune.com/bannon-destroys-lib-narrative/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=patriotupdate&utm_campaign=dailypm&utm_content=libertyalliance

Discounting North Korea’s ICBM Capability
by Stephen Lendman
{thesleuthjournal.com} ~ Based on its ballistic missile tests so far, including its most recent ones last month, Russia believes the DPRK hasn’t yet achieved ICBM capability... Noted ballistic missile/rocket expert Theodore Postol partly agrees, along with German rocket experts Markus Schiller and Robert Schmucker. In an analysis for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, they called Pyongyang’s Hwasong-14 ballistic missile, tested twice in July “a ‘sub-level’ ICBM that will not be able to deliver nuclear warheads to the continental United States.”... http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/discounting-north-koreas-ballistic-missile/.
House Democrat’s Office Approved
$120k Write-off Linked To Awan Brothers
by Luke Rosiak
{dailycaller.com} ~ A chief of staff for Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke quietly agreed in early 2016 to sign away a $120,000 missing electronics problem on behalf of two former IT aides now suspected of stealing equipment from Congress... The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned. Clarke’s chief of staff at the time effectively dismissed the loss and prevented it from coming up in future audits by signing a form removing the missing equipment from a House-wide tracking system after one of the Awan brothers alerted the office the equipment was gone. The Pakistani-born brothers are now at the center of an FBI investigation over their IT work with dozens of Congressional offices. A senior House official with knowledge of the situation provided TheDCNF with new details about how exactly the brothers are suspected to have stolen the equipment and possibly data from Congress... http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/20/democrats-office-approved-120k-write-off-linked-to-awan-brothers/.
Jerry Lewis Interviewed Last Year –
Pain Of Leaving His Family Behind
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Comedian, actor and showman Jerry Lewis had died at the age of 91 in his Las Vegas home. His publicist, Candi Cazau made the announcement, saying he had died Sunday of natural causes with his family by his side... In one of his last interviews, conducted less than a year ago as his first film in twenty years, Max Rose was being released, he was candid about where he was in life and his future. He told the interviewer, “If you’re real to yourself, you recognize there’s not a lot of time left. And I don’t like that part. I don’t like that part at all.” Lewis becomes emotional as he talks about his greatest fear, that of leaving his wife and daughter behind. He says, “I’m not going to hold them, I’m not going to love on them, and I can’t handle that.” The interviewer says, “Lewis is slowing down but assures us he’s not retiring. He performs every month in front of an audience, which he says is his secret to staying young.” http://rickwells.us/jerry-lewis-interviewed-last-year-pain-leaving-family-behind/

Wake Up—Mitch and Paul!
by Katie Kieffer
{townhall.com} ~ Waiter! Bring ice water! We need to wake up our lethargic congressional leaders, Sen. Mitch McConnell and Rep. Paul Ryan. Because when they snooze, America loses.
How do these two knuckleheads keep getting elected? It might be better if we had elected two La-Z-Boy armchairs to office. Neutrality is better than betrayal.
“It's very sad that Republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their President,” Trump recently tweeted.
Sad indeed. We voted for Trump, and Republican legislators who were up for election in 2016, because we trusted their commitment to three simple promises: 1.) secure our country; 2.) reform healthcare; and 3.) revitalize the economy.
So far, Republicans are 0 for 3 on delivery. President Trump tees them up, and they whiff. On purpose. Every single time.
Wayne Gretzky is one of the greatest athletes of all time—but never won the Stanley Cup without a team. Likewise, the President of the United States is the world’s most powerful politician, but he can’t score a legislative hat trick if no one’s there to guard the net or pass him the puck.
Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Sen. McConnell is the Senate Majority Leader and Sen. Ryan is the House Speaker. These two men have the power to corral their fellow Republicans in support of President Trump’s agenda—or they can sit back and twiddle their thumbs and watch the Press, Democrats and George-Soros’ professional protestors sic on Trump. Like a pack of mad dogs.
Here are three examples of how Republicans have helped Democrats more than President Trump so far this year: Republicans allowed multiple health care reform bills to die; placed sanctions on Russia for supposedly interfering with our election process despite Trump’s request to drop the sanctions as he sought to strengthen diplomatic ties with Russia; and empowered a bipartisan investigation into the Trump family’s so-called collusion with Russia.
This has to stop.
Blocking Big Yawners
Yapping and yawning are synonymous these days for congressional Republicans. Every other Autumn, Republicans roll up their sleeves for cameras, not actual work and begin moving their mouths—smiling mechanically and robotically—and telling us everything we want to hear, almost exactly the way they told us last year.
“Next year… liar-nObamacare will be gone,” Ryan promised us before the 2016 elections.
Yeah. Right.
And after promising to “repeal” liar-nObamacare, McConnell completely folded without bothering to pressure RINOs in his camp like Sen. RINO-McCain to keep their promises to voters. Instead, McConnell defended his drowsy leadership style in July, saying: “If Senate Republicans can’t get the 50 votes required to get an liar-nObamacare repeal and replacement over the finish line, they may have to work with Democrats to repair the existing marketplace.”
Well, we all know Democrats never compromise. Only Republicans do that. Except Republicans do it so often and so poorly that it’s not compromise, it’s capitulation. Which is why we’re in a state of economic stagnancy and liar-nObamacare seems here to stay.
Once safely re-elected, RINOs know that most of us voters will be so grateful to stop seeing their ads that we will basically forget about them and return to our own busy lives. Which is exactly what most politicians with rare exceptions like George Washington want: constituents to forget that they exist. That way, no one will ever hold them accountable for anything they promise.
It’s a vicious cycle.
Make the 2018 Midterms the election for which you team up with your neighbors and friends and vow to fire every Republican who wouldn’t work with President Trump—but would effectively work with the Democrats. From now on, we will not sit idly by as they hit the “snooze” button.
