Ninth Circuit: Another Court Vacancy for Trump
YI-hnVhStvu2dZFXR6byZbS0mlZy_CYgDREybRNdUBeSMHQXAVqPOZ9IIB6DQoRu7sEa2tShPUSpGiJH3T4xivQjKMnaUuDtV2BtcCv3HKqF0z23U6WCjtc5nZ2XrnU=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=500by Nate Jackson:  Judge Alex Kozinski, 32-year stalwart of the powerful Ninth Circuit Court, announced Monday that he is retiring “effective immediately” after at least 15 women have accused him of everything from showing them pornography to inappropriate sexual comments to groping them. The 67-year-old Kozinski sort of defended himself, saying, “I treat all of my employees as family and work very closely with most of them. I would never intentionally do anything to offend anyone and it is regrettable that a handful have been offended by something I may have said or done.”                       Well that’s open-ended. Kozinski lamented his “unusual sense of humor” may have been offensive, and he declared his resignation because “I cannot be an effective judge and simultaneously fight this battle.”

Unfortunately for conservatives, the Romanian-born Kozinski, a Ronald Reagan appointee, was a self-described libertarian and “refugee from Communism” who faithfully upheld his oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution. That — not yet another man accused of sexual misconduct — is the point of this story.
          The Ninth Circuit as a whole is far too leftist, and Kozinski’s loss is a blow. That said, President Donald Trump will appoint his successor, and he has a fairly remarkable record on judicial appointments already. So far in his first year, Trump has had a total of 19 federal judges confirmed, including 12 circuit court judges and, of course, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. There are another 41 nominees pending to fill a portion of the 142 vacancies on the federal bench. If Trump continues apace, his record on the courts alone would be reason to count his presidency a success.
          Yet there’s a huge caveat. As the Cato Institute’s Josh Blackman  argues, “If the Democrats take the Senate in 2018 — which became more likely after the recent election in Alabama — I fully expect Chairman Dianne Fein-stein to deny hearings to virtually all of President Trump’s judicial nominees.” Thus Republicans holding the Senate becomes all the more important.

{rickwells.us} ~ President Trump is once again distinguishing himself as being very different from the lecturing communist illegal alien windbag... that was squatting in the White House before he arrived. In a speech announcing his new national security strategy on Monday, President Trump declared “America is in the game and America is going to win.” liar-nObama had infamously imposed an “America used to win but now we’re going to lose and turn over everything we accomplished because we’re ashamed and sorry” approach during his long and miserable eight years. President Trump spoke at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, a  bit of symbolism that was no accident. President Trump acknowledged that his predecessors often failed to put Americans first, particularly the globalist liar-nObama, who put us last...  https://rickwells.us/trump-prosperity-border-natl-security/

Who Is Qais al-Khazali, and Why Should You Care?

{meforum.org} ~ Last Saturday, a recording emerged of an Iraqi Shi'a militia leader called Qais al-Khazali visiting the Lebanon-Israel border area... The short video shows him in the company of two other uniformed men. They are in the village of Kafr Kila, which is adjacent to Metulla. Khazali is the leader of an Iran-supported force called Asaib Ahl al-Haq (the League of the Righteous). In the manner preferred by the Iranians, the organization doubles as an armed militia and a political party. It was prominent in the Shi'a insurgency against the US and its allies just over a decade ago. Today, AAH is a key component in the Hashd al-Sha'abi (Popular Mobilization Units), the gathering of Shi'a militias raised up in the summer of 2014 to fight Islamic State when the Sunni jihadists were gunning for Baghdad. AAH has also played an important role in the Assad regime's war in Syria... http://www.meforum.org/7104/who-is-qais-al-khazali?utm_source=Middle+East+Forum&utm_campaign=b1cc126618-spyer_mef_2017_12_17&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_086cfd423c-b1cc126618-33703665&goal=0_086cfd423c-b1cc126618-33703665

{dailysignal.com} ~ A new report on a government spying operation conducted by partisan bureaucrats should outrage and scare Americans everywhere... It shows what can happen when, as the report says, partisans “weaponize” a government agency and use its powers to advance “political goals.” Americans already have seen that when federal bureaucrats such as Lois Lerneror Samantha Power do that with the fearsome power of the IRS and our intelligence agencies, we face a threat to our liberty and the democratic process that is unparalleled in our history...  http://dailysignal.com/2017/12/18/the-state-government-agency-that-spied-on-citizens/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell%22&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWldaaVlURXdNMll3TldNMyIsInQiOiJkb1B1ZVl2cWdPMlJTMXJ5VFMzblRpM3VRSHZFTGNkS1NBMkVMMk1PMzBvUDV6NGVUR3VaakxEbnJWbHFtRHNVSnBRUTcxbDRDS0xZajJZM1A2XC9oNUJwS2xwOHQwZVo1cXErOWpFWHZLVE55c096NlNzZHRFcnNXc3crbmJxWUIifQ%3D%3D

A Constitutional Republic or a Police State?
HHxsuPSkDGLUHZDW6Htztcihr6O06UzmaQdidrcLNzGV3CJ40fYGyhZ_x7-ToCeB1UH5Tucn_hxaCRvpQqJA2PxcoRt-EbQr-oqu14G4ASM8T10SE_hRMGRZxC6-8Gg=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450by Arnold Ahlert:  “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office that there’s no way [Donald Trump] gets elected — but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.” —one of the text messages sent by FBI official Peter Strzok to fellow FBI official and DOJ attorney Lisa Page, Aug. 15, 2016

          After eight years of liar-nObama administration efforts to “fundamentally transform” our nation, Americans may be facing the reality that our major law enforcement institutions are fundamentally corrupt, and that Democrats and their Leftmedia allies — now indistinguishable from one another — will attempt to minimize this damning reality.
          Yet at some point, Americans are owed an explanation about an “insurance policy” that resembles a strategy to undermine the 2016 election. We can already surmise that “Andy” refers to Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, whose wife received nearly $700,000 in campaign donations for her Virginia Senate race from liar-Clinton allies — while he was supervising the liar-Clinton email investigation.
          That Strzok was removed from the Russian collusion investigation for this text and the approximately 10,000 other exchanges between him and his extra-marital partner — a removal exposed by leaks, as opposed to full disclosure by Special Counsel Robert Mueller — begets a reasonable question: Why does he remain at the FBI in any capacity?
          Strzok was once the nation’s second-in-command for counterintelligence. Yet he carried on an easily traceable affair with a colleague — when he wasn’t busy leading the investigation into liar-Hillary Clinton’s email scandal and critically editing the memo that gave former FBI director James Comey cover to exonerate her. Strzok also failed to charge liar-Clinton associates Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, despite proof they were lying about having no knowledge of liar-Clinton’s private server, even as he facilitated the indictment of Trump’s former national security advisor Michael Flynn — for the same crime.
          Strzok was hardly an outlier. The stench of partisanship attaches itself to other members of Mueller’s team. Bruce G. Ohr, the former associate deputy attorney general and director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces, was demoted after evidence revealed he was in contact with Fusion GPS, producer of the infamous Steele dossier paid for by the liar-Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC. (His wife, Nellie Ohr, was hired by Fusion GPS specifically to probe Trump). Andrew Weissmann emailed former acting AG Sally Yates to express his “awe” for her refusal to implement Trump’s legal travel ban. Aaron Zebley  represented liar-Clinton IT staffer Justin Cooper, the man who set up liar-Clinton’s server — and smashed her Blackberries with a hammer. Jeannie Rhee was a liar-Clinton campaign donor, represented the liar-Clinton Foundation, and functioned as liar-nObama deputy national security advisor Ben Rhodes’ personal attorney.
          Page and Strzok had another equally damning exchange. “Maybe you’re meant to stay where you are because you’re meant to protect the country from that menace,” Page stated in a text that also included a Trump-related article. “Of course I’ll try and approach it that way,” Strzok replied.
          Was Strzok’s aforementioned editing job that included changing the words “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless” in Comey’s memo part of that “approach?
          During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Dec. 7, current FBI Director Christopher Wray insisted his agency is above reproach. Yet when Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) asked him if the Steele dossier was used to spy on Trump associates, Wray refused to answer, citing the ongoing investigation conducted by the DOJ’s Office of Inspector General as the reason. Six days later, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein declined to answer the same question — but insisted there’s no bias in Mueller’s investigation.
          What about illegality? Trump attorney Kory Langhofer is accusing Mueller of illegally obtaining transition team emails from career staffer at the General Services Administration (GSA), including confidential attorney-client communications, in an apparent violation of the president’s Fourth Amendment rights.
          Moreover, Wray and Rosenstein aren’t the only stonewallers. On March 20, 2017, Comey told Congress the counterintelligence operation into Russian collusion was recommended by Asst. Director of Counter Intelligence Bill Priestap, who was Strzok’s former boss. Priestap also  decided not to inform congressional overseers “because of the sensitivity of the matter,” Comey testified.
          Disingenuous? Priestap’s boss was McCabe. McCabe’s boss was Comey.
          McCabe was scheduled to testify behind closed doors before the House Intelligence Committee last Tuesday, but abruptly canceled due to a “scheduling error.” Some members of the Committee apparently weren’t buying it. “McCabe has an Ohr problem,” a congressional source surmised.
          He is scheduled to testify this week, and while the Committee is prepared to subpoena McCabe to compel his testimony, one suspects he would invoke his constitutional right against self-incrimination — before stating anything that might reveal the nation is in the midst of the biggest political scandal in its history.
          In the meantime, a trio of other stories buried by the Leftmedia are extremely troubling. First, former DNC Interim Chairwoman Donna Brazile revealed that after the DNC’s servers and computers were was hacked, they replicated the information on both — and then “destroyed the machines.
          Those were the machines the DNC refused to turn over to the FBI for examination, and the agency’s assertion they were hacked by the Russians is based solely on the assessment made DNC-hired cyber security firm CrowdStrike.
          Brazile insisted the DNC cooperated fully with the FBI, and that Comey’s testimony to the contrary was false. Yet Brazile is a documented  liar who initially denied sending primary debate questions to liar-Clinton’s campaign before admitting the truth.
          Second, Robert Mueller was granted an ethics waiver to serve as special counsel — and the DOJ refuses to explain why they accommodated his blatant conflicts of interest.
          Third, U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras, a 2012 liar-nObama appointee — who also sat on the FISA Court while the Trump team was under surveillance by the liar-nObama administration — recused himself from the Michael Flynn case without explanation.
          With so many players and moving parts it’s easy to ignore the one individual who may have been the prime mover behind all of these machinations. “Lest we forget, President liar-nObama had endorsed Mrs. liar-Clinton … to be president,” Andrew McCarthy writes. “Moreover, liar-nObama had knowingly participated in the conduct for which liar-Clinton was under investigation — using a pseudonym in communicating with her about classified government business over an unsecure private communication system.”
          Americans should also remember former AG Loretta Lynch’s airport tarmac meeting with liar-Bill Clinton while his wife remained under investigation, and that she directed Comey to call that investigation a “matter.” Emails released Friday by the DOJ reveal department officials were less concerned by the meeting itself than that it was leaked to the press and how to prevent further leaks.
          Americans should also remember liar-nObama National Security Advisor Susan Rice and U.S. Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power  unmasked  Americans.
          Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz’s office has compiled more than 1.2 million pages of documentation, and even if the aforementioned players don’t cooperate, indictments are a real possibility. Thus, Americans will soon learn if we are still a constitutional republic — or whether the aforementioned “fundamental transformation” has succeeded beyond the former president’s wildest dreams.
          Trump is said to be dismantling liar-nObama’s “legacy.” Taking down a potential police state should be priority number one.  ~The Patriot Pos
