{ saraacarter.com } ~ On Monday, President Trump ordered the declassification of FBI documents related to the Russia investigation which include the missing 21 pages of the FISA application surveillance warrant against Carter Page... and all text messages between FBI officials Lisa Page and Peter Strzok. President Trump ordered the release of the documents through the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Justice Department at “the request of a number of committees of Congress, and for reasons of transparency,” according to White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders. In connection to the Carter Page FISA application, additional documents to be declassified and released include transcripts of FBI interviews with Justice Department official Bruce Ohr and other interviews that pertain to the preparation of the application. Trump also ordered the declassification of text messages “without redaction” of Bruce Ohr, former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. The declassification of these items may take a little time with the release of the FISA application expected first, followed by the text messages.

Support Letter Speaks Out
by Rachel del Guidice { dailysignal.com } ~ A peer and friend who knew Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as a high school student is vouching for his character amid accusations from a woman... that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were teens. “I certainly have some strong feelings about the timing of this, but that is not going to do anybody any good,” Missy Carr, a 1985 graduate of Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School, told The Daily Signal in a phone interview Monday. “What I would say is I have known Brett since I was maybe 16, and I still know him today,” Carr, 51, said. “I knew him in all kinds of social situations and what is being described—I also, by the way, know Mark Judge, obviously—and the scenario that is being described is not one that I could ever put either one of those guys in, even under the influence of alcohol or any of that.” Carr is one of 65 women who knew Kavanaugh when he attended the all-boys Georgetown Preparatory School and signed a letter published Sept. 14 that vouches for the character of the Supreme Court nominee. Kavanaugh’s accuser said Mark Judge, a classmate of Kavanaugh’s, was present during the alleged assault at a house party attended by a small group of teens...Iraqis Protest Growing Iranian Influence in the Country
by JONATHAN SPYER
{ meforum.org } ~ Over the past week, violent protests have swept the southern Iraqi city of Basra. Twelve people have been killed in the protests and hundreds injured... The protests focused on the dire living conditions in the city, which is located in a province that is home to 70% of Iraq’s oil reserves. Corruption and chronic mismanagement have produced a daily reality of electricity shortages, lack of drinking water, and high unemployment. There are fears of a cholera outbreak resulting from poor sanitary conditions. Thirty thousand people have been hospitalized after drinking polluted water in recent weeks. The protests are a violent reaction to all this. No coherent demands or united leadership have yet emerged from the unrest. But the targets of the rioters do not appear to be entirely random. According to the Arabic-language Asharq al-Awsat newspaper, “Protesters set fire to the building of the neighboring provincial council and a number of party and faction headquarters, including the headquarters of the ruling Dawa Party, the Islamic Supreme Council, the Badr Organization – the largest Shi’ite armed group supported by Iran in Iraq, the headquarters of the Brigades of Imam Ali, and Asaib Ahl al-Haq, led by Qais al-Khazali, and the movement of the former deputy leader Hanan al-Fatlawi. The protesters also attacked offices of the state-run Al-Iraqiya TV and the office of the al-Furat channel of Hakam al-Hakamah, led by Ammar al-Hakim.” In addition, protesters attacked the facilities of the Kataeb Hezbollah, Khorasani, and Hezbollah al-Nujaba militias...

by Nate Jackson: Ten years ago, the nation experienced a formative and trying financial crisis. Economically, the collapse of major financial institutions helped plunge the nation into the “Great Recession.” Politically, the crisis propelled Barack scumbag/liar-nObama to victory in 2008 — which then caused eight years of economic stagnation under the weight of his massive new government programs. On a walk down memory lane (or the memory hole of the Left), we see that dummycrats-Democrats seeded the financial collapse, particularly with mortgage regulations.
As Mark Alexander explained in his updated and comprehensive review of the 2008 financial crisis, “The Community Reinvestment Act was passed by dummycrats-Democrats of the 95th Congress and signed into law by Jimmy Carter in 1977. It coerced lending institutions to make loans ‘to the entire community,’ undermining means testing to qualify applicants for mortgages.” Despite some positive changes in the intervening Republican White House years, “liar-Bill Clinton’s signature on legislation making it easier for minority constituents with bad credit to obtain mortgages really reseeded the crisis. … liar-Clinton’s legislation, in effect, applied affirmative action to the lending industry, which is to say that the [crisis was] NOT a ‘free market failure’ but the result of socially engineered financial policy by the central government.”
It took time for bad subprime mortgages to create a financial sinkhole underneath major banks. That’s why the collapse didn’t happen in 1998 but during the tenure of George W. Bush a decade later. When the house of cards inevitably collapsed, the Democrat response was … more government regulation. The Dodd-Frank financial regulatory overhaul essentially codified “too big to fail” — the very thing dummycrats-Democrats routinely railed against. By 2015, scumbag/liar-nObama’s administration was working to make sure history repeated.
Fortunately, in 2016, Americans took another path. President Donald Trump has worked from Day 1 to lower taxes and deregulate the economy, and the results are impressive. That doesn’t mean we’re permanently out of the woods, or that Trump is a miracle worker. But it does mean that the right policies matter at the federal level and at your kitchen table.
