{meforum.org} ~ An investigative report by the Middle East Forum has prompted the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to initiate an investigation... into a 2014 decision by the scumbag/liar-nObama administration. The U.S. Treasury Department listed the Islamic Relief Agency (ISRA, aka the Islamic Africa Relief Agency), a Sudanese organization in 2004 a “Specially Designated Terrorist Organization.” It did so because ISRA provided "direct financial support" to Osama bin Laden; "was responsible for moving funds to the Palestinian territories for use in terrorist activities"; and “serves as a conduit to Hamas.” The Forum’s Sam Westrop exposed in National Review that in 2014, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) approved a $200,000 grant to the Islamic Relief Agency (ISRA) in Sudan through World Vision, Inc. The project was temporarily suspended in November 2014 after USAID and the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) were alerted to ISRA’s terror links. However, after confirming ISRA’s status as a sanctioned entity, the Forum uncovered that OFAC nonetheless authorized a $125,000 transfer to ISRA in May 2015 after “close collaboration and consultations with the Department of State.” This done, Charles Wanjue, a USAID official exulted: “Good news and a great relief, really!” The Forum’s findings – reported by Fox News, i24 News, Breitbart, the Daily Mail (UK), and many others – resulted from a successful Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against USAID, countless hours poring through documents, and working with an investigator in Khartoum... https://www.meforum.org/articles/2018/mef-uncovers-obama-era-scandal-congress-investiga?utm_source=Middle+East+Forum&utm_campaign=67dc11ffce-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_10_16_05_42&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_086cfd423c-67dc11ffce-33703665&goal=0_086cfd423c-67dc11ffce-33703665
Scalise warned that the political rhetoric coming from dummycrats-Democrats has only served to stoke burning anger among leftists and “incite even more harassment and violence.” He knows what he’s talking about given his own “near-death experience at the hands of a deranged shooter who sought to assassinate a baseball field of Republicans.”
After listing several recent incidents of threats and violence leveled against conservatives and the fact that these incidents are only growing, Scalise appealed to his dummycrats-Democrat colleagues to condemn the violent vitriolic rhetoric and to strive for civility. “A healthy, strong democracy is not possible if anyone lives in fear of expressing their views,” Scalise wrote. “In America, we win battles at the ballot box, not through mob rule or intimidation. While it’s clear many dummycrats-Democrats refuse to accept the election of President Trump, if they want change, they need to convince people with their ideas and actually win elections, rather than call for violent resistance, harassment, and mob rule.”
We truly hope that dummycrats-Democrat leaders heed Scalise’s admonition and that there is a quick end to the violent rhetoric now being expressed by far too many on the Left.
