The Left Is Politicizing Sexual Assault
by Political Editors: The New York Times recently reported that the leftist organization Media Matters, founded by David Brock, had spent $200,000 funding an effort in 2016 to bring down Donald Trump via allegations of sexual assault. The Times reports that leftist organizations are still “raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to support accusers who come forward with charges against President Trump and members of Congress.” Motivated by the success of the #MeToo movement, which has been credited in helping to expose and bring down famous and powerful men in Hollywood and the mainstream media, as well as prompt the resignation of members of Congress like former Democrat Sen. Al Franken, Brock and other leftists seek to do the same to Trump and Republican candidates. Just as Mark Alexander recently warned.
California lawyer Lisa Bloom received significant amounts of funding as she sought “to encourage victims to bring forward similar claims against Republican politicians.” Her efforts “included offering to sell alleged victims’ stories to TV outlets in return for a commission for herself, arranging a donor to pay off one Trump accuser’s mortgage and attempting to secure a six-figure payment for another woman who ultimately declined to come forward after being offered as much as $750,000,” The Hill reported. Bloom justified the funding claiming that it was needed in order “to ensure the safety” of the accusers.
The fact of the matter is, this has nothing to do with concerns over the problem of sexual assault or harassment against women. Instead, it’s all about politics. In an American Bridge 21st Century Foundation internal memo from last year, Brock explains, “We are going to resist the normalization of Donald Trump. Trump has the legal authority, but we have the moral authority — and the moral responsibility to oppose him.” In other words, let the witch hunts begin.
Ron Rotunda, a professor at Chapman University School of Law, noted, “These victims have serious stories to tell and we have to get justice for them. But we undercut that when people are paid for their testimony. It taints it. … The problem is, if a real victim accepts a payoff it undercuts their story. That’s just a fact of life.” The truth of the matter is, by politicizing the issue, Democrats are guaranteeing that it will be immediately assumed that every accuser must have some political motivation rather than a genuine pursuit of justice. In other words, fewer people will believe them. How does that help women who are real victims? ~The Patriot Post

20 groups that advocate
boycotting Israel will now be denied entry
by Ruth Eglash
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Members of 20 international organizations that promote a boycott campaign of Israel, known collectively as the BDS movement... will be banned from entering the country, according to a list published Sunday by the Ministry of Strategic Affairs. The list was created after Israel's parliament in March approved legislation that would deny entry visas to foreign nationals who publicly back or call for any kind of boycott - economic, cultural or academic - of Israel or its West Bank settlements. BDS, which stands for ''boycott, divest and sanctions," aims to pressure Israel into complying with international law vis-Ã -vis its policies toward the Palestinians. The movement discourages the purchase of Israeli goods, pressures international companies not to conduct business in Israel and urges celebrities not to visit or perform in the country... http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0118/BDS_booted.php3.
The race to protect America's
grid from electromagnetic attack
by Naureen S Malik
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ Federal agencies and utility executives recently held GridEx IV, a biennial event where officials responsible for hundreds of local utilities game out scenarios in which North America's power grid could fail... Potential calamities both physical and cyber are reviewed, with participant responses analyzed to better prepare for any future attack. This year, the event took on an added urgency given growing concern with a weapon straight out of the Cold War: an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, emanating from a nuclear blast-specifically, one delivered by a North Korean missile or satellite detonated miles above the Earth. Though GridEx IV didn't pose this exact scenario, industry experts concede there's no clear plan to deal with it. An EMP could damage electronic circuits over large areas, depending on the configuration of the weapon and how high it was detonated, though there's disagreement over how effective such a tactic would be. Scientists also emphasize that a nuclear bomb that hits a ground target is much more worrisome. Nevertheless, with North Korea's increasingly successful missile and warhead tests in mind, Congress moved to renew funding for the Commission to Assess the Threat to the U.S. from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack as part of the National Defense Authorization Act... http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0118/electromagnetic_attack.php3.
Bruce Ohr Demoted Again – Removed From
Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force
{theconservativetreehouse.com} ~ The walls continue closing in. The STORY IS GETTING OUT. The Bigger media voices will eventually catch up to the story... Right now the scale of the story is so large, and the consequences so damaging to the Republic, they are scared to call it out… but that won’t last too much longer. They can’t ignore it much longer. As OIG Michael Horowitz and Congressional Investigators Nunes, Goodlatte, Grassley begin assembling the evidence against the corrupt DOJ and FBI officials, the current DOJ/FBI leadership begin working in concert to position the corrupt. Former FBI Counterintelligence #2, Peter Strzok, is now holding down a chair in the Human Resources Department; FBI/DOJ Attorney Lisa Page, previously “Andy” McCabe’s legal aide – now carrying legal ebola, wanders aimlessly amid the halls of Main Justice; FBI Chief Legal Counsel Jim Baker is currently in charge of stapler inventory; FBI Asst. Director McCabe is trying to make it to retirement in March… and today the previously disciplined DOJ attorney Bruce Ohr takes another demotion... https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/01/08/doj-small-group-official-bruce-ohr-demoted-again-removed-from-organized-crime-drug-enforcement-task-force/.
CNN Lib Gushes Congratulations To
“Dossier ll” Tabloid Writer For “Getting To Trump”
{rickwells.us} ~ The idea that Katy Tur, whose dad dresses up in women’s clothing and has changed his name from Robert Albert Tur to Hanna Zoe Tur... can have any credibility on the issue of mental fitness is hysterical on its face, but for it’s leftists at CNN, and men pretending they’re women, including her dad, is part of their new perverted “normal.” Katy Tur sat on her throne of judgment in the MSNBC studios and gushed at the tabloid gossip writer the left has trotted out to carry the impeachment torch to the next phase, Michael Wolff. Wrapping up the interview after gullibly and dutifully accepting every anti-Trump claim in the staged point by point attack against President Trump as libtard gospel, Tur said, “Michael Wolff, it is a fascinating book, Fire and Fury.”... https://rickwells.us/cnn-lib-gushes-getting-trump/.

It’s Happening: Health Insurance
Will Soon Be Sold Across State Lines
by Katie Pavlich
{townhall.com} ~ Although the Trump administration and Congress have struggled to fully repeal liar-nObamacare, while putting a good dent in the law by repealing the individual mandate through tax reform, officials are finding new ways to lower costs and expand coverage to consumers.
On Thursday, the Department of Labor announced a new rule proposal that opens the door to allowing insurance companies to sell plans and coverage across state lines. From Insurance News Net:
In another move toward dismantling the Affordable Care Act, the Department of Labor announced a proposed rule to expand the offering of small business health plans, also known as association health plans. The proposed rule will be published Friday.
Under the proposal, small businesses and sole proprietors would have more freedom to band together to provide health insurance for employees.
The proposed rule applies only to employer-sponsored health insurance. This would allow employers to join together as a single group to purchase insurance in the large group market.
And here are the basic details from the Labor Department:
As proposed, the rule would:
Allow employers to form a Small Business Health Plan on the basis of geography or industry. A plan could serve employers in a state, city, county, or a multi-state metro area, or it could serve all the businesses in a particular industry nationwide;
Allow sole proprietors to join Small Business Health Plans, clearing a path to access health insurance for the millions of uninsured Americans who are sole proprietors or the family of sole proprietors.
The rule will be posted Friday, January 5 for public comment.
