Mueller aide fired for anti-Trump texts now facing review for role in liar-Clinton email probe
by James Rosen
{foxnews.com} ~ Two senior Justice Department officials have confirmed to Fox News that the department's Office of Inspector General... is reviewing the role played in the liar-Hillary Clinton email investigation by Peter Strzok, a former deputy director for counterintelligence at the FBI who was removed from the staff of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III earlier this year, after Mueller learned that Strzok had exchanged anti-Trump texts with a colleague. A source close to the matter said the OIG probe, which will examine Strzok's roles in a number of other politically sensitive cases, should be completed by "very early next year." The task will be exceedingly complex, given Strzok's consequential portfolio. He participated in the FBI's fateful interview with liar-Hillary Clinton on July 2, 2016 – just days before then-FBI Director James Comey announced he was declining to recommend prosecution of Mrs. liar-Clinton in connection with her use, as secretary of state, of a private email server... http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/12/03/mueller-aide-fired-for-anti-trump-texts-now-facing-review-for-role-in-clinton-email-probe.html

{theconservativetreehouse.com} ~ Swamp Guardian and Fox News primary Decepticon, Brett Baier, interviews former liar-nObama CIA Director Leon Panetta and President Trump’s current CIA Director Mike Pompeo... during a Reagan Defense Forum summit at the Reagan Library. Leon Panetta and liar-Hillary Clinton worked hand in hand over the horrific policy execution in Libya and Syria. The joint CIA/DoS mission, Operation Zero Footprint, was an outcome of President liar-nObama’s finding memo authorizing the covert mission in Libya. Panetta is 100% full-on Deep State/Deep Swamp. Current CIA Director Mike Pompeo is a bridge leading away from the larger Deep State apparatus. The distinction between the two comes out in buckets...

Palestinians Promise Explosion of Violence if Trump Recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's Capital
{israeltoday.co.il} ~ Rumors are rife that US President Donald Trump will officially recognize a united Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel sometime this week... possibly in lieu of actually moving the US Embassy to the Holy City in the short term. But the Palestinian leadership is warning that if Trump takes either of those steps, they will unleash a wave of terrorist violence that will affect the entire world. "Any American declaration of recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel – if there is one – would mean total destruction of the peace process," senior Palestinian Authority advisor Mahmoud Al-Habbash told reporters on Saturday. "The whole world will pay a price for any change or harm to the political reality of Jerusalem."...Palestinians can go to hell. http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/32875/Default.aspx

A COMMONSENSE TUTORIAL
by Burt Prelutsky
A few years ago, I saw a need and tried to fill it in my own some small way. I approached a small college devoted to the visual arts and architecture in Pasadena, CA, seeking a teaching gig.
As things turned out, I might have been able to obtain a position teaching a course in screenplays, but there are already too many unemployed screenwriters presumably teaching that stuff to far too many people who are, themselves, destined to join the ranks of the terminally unemployed.
It was my suggestion that I inaugurate a course in logic or commonsense or learning how to think, as opposed to what to think, which has become the sole mission of far too many academic propagandists.
I never even got far enough along to discuss a salary. The authorities turned me down flat.
Well, just because I lack a classroom is no reason I shouldn’t share some of the things I would have wished to pass along to the students.
First off, I would have told them to begin using their instincts. For instance, if a professor insists that socialism is preferable to capitalism and that, furthermore, blacks and Hispanics deserve the advantages of Affirmative Action, ask them why they themselves continue living in a hopelessly capitalist society when they could achieve Nirvana by simply packing up and moving to Cuba, China, Venezuela or North Korea.
Then follow up that question with a second: Why, assuming them to be white, were they holding down a job, which, by their own admission, should be the birthright of a far more-deserving black or Hispanic?
And, finally, force them to explain why, if socialism is as wonderful as they claim, a North Korean soldier, suffering from tuberculosis, hepatitis and an intestinal tract teeming with parasites, would risk being shot five times by actual count to escape from Paradise.
Instinct or intuition, which is commonly and mistakenly presumed to be a feminine attribute, is relied upon by those in life and death situations; namely, soldiers and cops. A veteran cop will scan a block and somehow know in his gut that something is amiss, or he’ll spot a couple of guys seemingly minding their own business and be willing to bet next month’s salary that they’re up to no good.
Some people, if they’re smart enough or have learned a few things over the years know better than to confuse politicians of either party with moral leaders. In fact, if you’re getting your principles from politicians, you’re a fool.
I like to think I have principles, but I also have priorities. That means I am far more concerned with how a guy is going to vote than whether he pinched someone’s butt in the distant or even not so distant past.
A vote should never be mistaken as an endorsement of the man or woman’s character. If character really counted in public life, we would probably have to make do with five senators and a dozen or so warm bodies in the House. Unfortunately, the 535 members of Congress, most of them dopes or weasels, get to decide how the rest of us live. Therefore, it behooves us to elect those most likely to reflect our wishes as individuals and as Americans.
If it bothers you to vote for one politician over another because of their moral lapses, keep in mind that you are not privy to all the facts. These days, you only need to wait a week or two before the candidate you thought was the moral superior to the guy you voted against turns out to be an even more disgusting degenerate.
At times, you simply have to overlook the many things Republicans in Washington don’t get done and focus, instead, on the things that the Democrats do.
But please feel free, however, to penalize the riffraff who populate show business. If you’re offended by their creepy behavior, stop going to their movies, tuning into their TV shows, buying their CDs or attending their concerts.
● Speaking of which, it took a very long time, but creepy Al Franken has finally begun saying funny things. He finally deigned to comment on the allegations that during photo ops with Minnesota voters, he was grabbing the tushies of women who, for some bizarre reason, craved photographic proof that they had once been in the presence of the human warthog. He explained: “I have taken thousands of pictures with people in crowded, often chaotic, situations.” Or, if that's not good enough, he added: "I'm a warm person. I hug people."
While I like to think I'm a warm person, and although I can’t claim to have been photographed as often as the senator, I’ve never once found myself with my hands inexplicably on some stranger's fanny.
Thus far, we have only heard allegations made about Franken in his political life. I am still waiting for the nubile young females who make up the bulk of the gofers on TV shows, such as “Saturday Night Live,” to come forward and show us Franken’s fingerprints.
● Like Orrin Hatch, who blew his stack when the Democrats kept insisting that the tax bill only favored the rich, I am sick and tired of millionaires such as Chuck clown-Schumer, Nancy Pulosi and Dianne Feinstein, insisting that the GOP is the party of millionaires and billionaires.
Most of the wealthiest Americans Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Ted Turner, Jeff Bezos, Tom Steyer, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, George Soros, David Geffen, Sam Zell, Steven Spielberg, Mark Cuban, Barry Diller, Oprah Winfrey, Mort Zuckerman) are liberal zealots.
Although I find it abominable that nearly half of all Americans pay no income tax, it’s a fact the richest seven or eight percent pick up roughly 70% of the tab for the nation. But when those calling for the rest of us to pay more taxes pull financial shenanigans in order to pay less, I believe a flag should be thrown.
Warren Buffet, who famously complained that his secretary paid a higher tax rate than he did, fought the IRS tooth and claw for years on end to avoid paying his corporate taxes. Recently, the repulsive George Soros moved $18 billion into a foundation in order to avoid paying his own “fair share” to Uncle Sam.
● I have admitted that I don’t care to join groups, even those dedicated to promoting conservative issues and candidates. My problem is that I am unwilling to hand over my inalienable right to speak for myself to others, and I am often surprised by how many conservatives don’t even think twice about doing so.
● The liberals are doing their darndest to tie Paul Manafort to Donald Trump, even though Trump fired the man and replaced him with Kellyanne Conway fairly early in the campaign. At the same time, they ignore the fact that even as the FBI was closing in on a group of Islamic ITs led by Imran Awan, and tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz refused to sign his pink slip. It was only after Mr. Awan was arrested while trying to flee the country that Mrs. Wasserman-Schultz finally got around to removing him from the federal payroll.
Awan and his associates all had security access to computers belonging to congressional libs, but Mrs. Wasserman-Schultz defended her reluctance to question their illegal activities because it would have constituted Islamophobia on her part!
● As I see people, particularly those in their teens and twenties, walking around with their noses two inches from their electronic toys, it occurs to me that, thanks to the anti-social network, never in human history have so many people with absolutely nothing to say spent so much time saying it.
