Republican Gridlock Over Repealing
liar-nObamaCare
Republicans hold majorities in both houses of Congress and a Republican sits in the White House. Yet there is still delay and gridlock in the attempt to repeal and replace liar-nObamaCare. Part of the problem is that, once again, Republicans are far too easily manipulated by Democrats' class warfare mantra of "benefit cuts for the poor to pay for tax cuts for the rich." Democrats and their Leftmedia colluders continuously conflate welfare with rights, and Republicans are seemingly unable to expose the inherit fallacy of that argument. Even more frustrating is that Democrats aren't doing anything new, and still Republicans can't seem to get past it.
Liberty, the foundational principle upon which this nation was founded, recognizes innate, God-given human rights. Rights as opposed to welfare. Liberty both offers and requires the individual to make choices — the consequences of which, whether good or bad, the individual is responsible for. Welfare seeks to protect individuals from the consequences of their poor and foolish choices. Essentially, welfare demands that the responsible pay for the irresponsible, which robs both individuals of their right of Liberty.
Democrats created the concept of welfare equaling "rights" by conditioning people to believe that they are helpless to help themselves and therefore the government must provide welfare programs as a means of protecting human "rights." Nothing could be further from the truth. And yet it seems no Republican since Ronald Reagan has been able to effectively expose and combat this leftist myth with the positive message of Liberty lifting all boats.
Now Republicans in the Senate are waffling again over the fallacy of health care being a "right." One would have to be blind not to see that liar-nObamaCare is collapsing and untenable. It is costing taxpayers trillions all while increasing health care costs for families. Democrats scream about how Republicans "will kill people" if they repeal the "Affordable" Care Act. Republicans need to respond with the fact that liar-nObamaCare is the government stealing money and Liberty from the American people. Republicans need work toward restoring the Liberty Barack liar-nObama and his Democrats stole. This what the GOP message should be; this is what their mission should be about — not acquiescence to Democrats' leftist conflation of government-provided welfare being a human right. Republicans need to stop being scared of their own shadows, and do the right thing. ~The Patriot Post

Physicist Hawkings Uses
Climate Science Fiction To Bash Trump
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Considering how hideous reality is for Stephen Hawking’ it’s hard to fault the guy for wanting to be detached from it... But when what he’s spewing out is more toxic than the volcanic vents he references on Venus and he does so in the furtherance of a lie intended to mislead our nation into global communism, his pity pass has to be canceled. He’s a liar, one trapped in an unfortunate situation and container, but a liar nonetheless. It’s worth remembering that the Paris climate agreement only came into being in December of 2015 and was only falsely claimed to have been ratified by liar-nObama’s unconstitutional dictate in September of last year, ten months ago. It never went into effect so it’s a stretch to say there are apocalyptic repercussions to withdrawing. Hawkings used his scientific credentials in a most dishonest manner, claiming that the decision to exit the global welfare agreement somehow doomed the world. Even its proponents are forced to acknowledge “a Massachusetts Institute of Technology finding that indicates the Paris climate treaty would lower global warming by less than four-tenths of a degree by year 2100.”... http://rickwells.us/physicist-hawkings-uses-climate-science-fiction-bash-trump/.
GOP Quislings Side With Dem, Vote
To Revoke Trump’s Power To Fight ISIS
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ The dunderhead Republican chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ), looks and sounds like he’s in over his head... like he’s just there to make friends, to let the Democrats have whatever they want with his focus on being “one of the popular kids in school.” Take whatever you want, Democrats, just don’t include him in your mean comments about President Trump. With this as the kind of weak quislings our President has to depend upon to support him in doing his job, it’s not surprising that he’s struggled to get anything done that can’t be done on his own. The House Appropriations Committee approved an amendment to the defense spending bill on Thursday which revokes a 2001 law giving the president authority to wage war against al Qaeda and its affiliates unless a replacement provision is created. The current Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF), was initially approved as a response to the 9/11 attacks. It has since formed the basis for the Iraq War and fighting ISIS and Syria. The Republicans have once again sold out Americans, handing over to the Democrats, without any justification or reciprocity, a weapon with which to obtain concessions, possibly huge ones, in order for President Trump to protect us in the manner he can presently do without Democrat approval...http://rickwells.us/gop-quislings-side-dem-vote-revoke-trumps-power-fight-isis/

European Court Rules to
Euthanize 10-month-old Charlie Gard
by Lisa Shaw
{thenewamerican.com} ~ The life of 10-month-old Charlie Gard hangs in the balance as doctors determine when he will die. On Tuesday, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) refused a London couple the right to seek a possible life-saving treatment... in the United States for their son, ruling instead for the termination of life-support. Charlie was born with Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome, a rare genetic condition causing progressive muscle weakness and brain damage. After discovering a possible treatment and an American doctor willing to perform a trial therapy for their son, Chris Gard and Connie Yates raised over $1.6 million in donations from around the world in the hope of saving their son. However, specialists at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London, where Charlie was being treated, felt the experimental therapy would not be beneficial and refused his parents their natural right to have him treated elsewhere...What kind of humans are they not to try anything that will save their son. https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/europe/item/26381-european-court-rules-to-euthanize-10-month-old-charlie-gard

Lee and Cruz Offer Repeal of liar-nObamaCare
by Steve Byas
{thenewamerican.com} ~ “It’ll make it much easier for conservatives in the House,” asserted Representative Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, of the effort by Senators Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to develop a compromise piece of legislation... on repealing liar-nObamaCare in the Senate. “Really, the greatest flux you have with getting 218 in the House is probably more with conservatives than it is moderates,” Meadows explained. Cruz made enemies of several of his fellow congressional Republicans four years ago when he engineered a 16-day government shutdown, in an effort to defund the Affordable Care Act, better known as liar-nObamaCare. But now, Cruz has joined with his good friend Mike Lee in a behind-the-scenes effort to develop legislation that will fulfill Republican campaign promises to repeal the controversial health care law...I really hope they will success. https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/health-care/item/26388-lee-and-cruz-offer-repeal-of-obamacare

85,000 Italians Applied For Just 30 Jobs,
As Thousands Of Refugees Keep Pouring In
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ What bizarre, self-destructed idiocy this globalism is that has co-opted the governments of this planet. As Italy reels from 13,500 African invaders showing up in just two days last week... and overwhelmed local officials demand that the ports of other nations be opened to the same ruinous invading hordes, the people continue to suffer, the Africans continue to come. The question is for how long this will continue, will the Italian people reach a point where the finally stand against the EU generated destruction? Will they force their government officials to act in their interests rather than those of a destructive foreign population transfusion? Many of those positions, particularly the manual labor jobs, will be taken by foreigners willing to work for very little, exacerbating the problem. Their government, in cooperation with the elites, is killing the middle class by importing a slave class to work in its place... http://rickwells.us/85000-italians-applied-just-30-jobs-thousands-refugees-keep-pouring/

Little is publicly known about his capture, detention, or how he became ISIS leader. In 2008, the Bush administration transferred authority of all detainees in US custody to Iraqi forces, including Baghdadi.
In 2010, he was freed, assuming leadership of ISIS the same year. He first became known publicly in summer 2014 when its fighters began capturing territory in Iraq and Syria.
Was the liar-nObama administration behind his release? Was he chosen to head the little known terrorist group at that time, serving as imperial foot soldiers?
On May 28, Russian warplanes struck an ISIS command post in northern Syria where Baghdadi and others in his chain of command were discussing exit routes for its fighters from Raqqa through a southern corridor.
At the time, Russia’s Defense Ministry said it’s believed he was “killed in the airstrike” along with other high-ranking ISIS commanders and hundreds of its fighters.
Emir of Raqqa Abu al-Haji al-Masri, Emir Ibrahim al-Naef al-Hajj, “who controlled the district from the city of Raqqa to the settlement of es-Sohne,” and ISIS head of security Suleiman al-Sawah were reported killed by Russia’s Defense Ministry.
Last Thursday, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ole Syromolotov said “according to the Russian Defense Ministry, it is highly likely that Daesh leader al-Baghdadi was eliminated as a result of a Russian Aerospace Forces strike on the terrorists’ command post in the southern suburb of the city of Raqqa in late May this year,” adding:
This “information is now verified through various channels.” In mid-June, Sergey Lavrov said he was unable to confirm al-Baghdadi’s death.
He was reported killed several times before, only to turn up alive. Is the latest report of his death premature?
Russia’s Defense Ministry believes he’s dead. Satellite images of four buildings where he and his chain of command were meeting show they were obliterated – making it appear no one inside could have survived.
How his death along with other ISIS commanders, if true, affects the terrorist group remains to be seen.
Syrian and allied forces, greatly aided by Russian airpower, continue making steady gains against ISIS and other terrorist groups.
At the same time, US imperial designs on Syria haven’t changed – wanting pro-Western puppet governance replacing Assad.
As long as this objective remains unchanged, ending Syria’s long nightmare remains elusive.
