Cruz Defends Trump On Spying Claims...
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Ted Cruz appeared on Face The Nation with the discussion related to three topics. He’s first asked about President Trump’s reassertion on Friday that Hussein liar-nObama wiretapped him during the campaign and after... Host John Dickerson says, “Intelligence officials, Republicans in the Senate and the House have said this didn’t happen. Should the President drop this?” Cruz replies that they are serious allegations that need to be looked into seriously. He says, “You’ve got open investigations in both the Senate Intelligence Committee and the House Intelligence Committee, you’ve got next week, FBI Director Comey is testifying, we need to find out what the facts are. We do know or at least it’s been publicly reported that there were two FISA applications for some form of surveillance or wiretaps, one of which was turned down by the FISA court of the liar-nObama administration, one of which was granted. I think it’s important to learn a little more detail as to what was contained in those FISA applications and I think the investigations will bring that out.”...
Sheriff of Wall Street
Kept Hands Off Top Officials
by Stephen Lendman
{thesleuthjournal.com} ~ Wall Street crooks make money the old-fashioned way – stealing it through fraud, grand theft, market manipulation, front-running them, pump-and-dump schemes, scamming investors, bribing politicians... and having its executives in top administration posts making policies facilitating chicanery. Compared to major Street firms, Bernie Madoff was small-time. So are most other financial swindlers. Key ones plot in Wall Street board rooms, operating unaccountably, making their own rules. When caught red-handed defrauding customers, at most wrist-slap fines are imposed. No top executives are prosecuted, none imprisoned, none touched by the so-called sheriff of Wall Street – US attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara, praised for fearlessly prosecuting financial wrongdoing, targeting smaller fish, not the biggest ones... http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/sheriff-wall-street-kept-hands-off-top-officials/
.The Left Inflames Racial Tensions Again
This Time to Attack Private Contractors
by Erick Erickson
{theresurgent.com} ~ This is now Donald Trump’s America and instead of trying to understand why so many Americans rejected the status quo, the left has decided the nation is just full of racists, bigots, and idiots... Consequently, on a daily basis they are trying to find new grievances to keep alive the anger and rage on the left. They hope to mobilize the left and head into 2018, taking back Congress, and doing everything possible to stop President Trump. To do that, they have decided to inflame racial tensions as best the can. At SXSW in Austin, a Michael Moore affiliated film maker released a new video on Michael Brown that purports to show he was a drug dealer, not a thief, in order to raise doubts about the investigative findings. Now, in Florida, the left wants you to believe prison officials boiled alive a black inmate in the Dade Correctional Institute in Miami. The evidence shows it did not happen, but they are cherry picking the worst of the worst information to claim it is so... http://theresurgent.com/the-left-inflames-racial-tensions-again-this-time-to-attack-private-contractors/
.Sen Grassley Tweets Trump To Join Him
In Stopping H-1B Visa Abuse Of US Workers
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) is reaching out to President Trump in a very public way, over one of the President’s favorite means of communication, Twitter... At least he can be fairly certain that his message will be passed on in some form rather than buried in the pile of emails and other documents that land on the President’s desk every day. Grassley had just finished watching a segment on “60 Minutes” about the injustices that American workers face in being forced to compete with low wage indentured servants categorized as foreign workers, who are brought into the United States for the express purpose of stealing jobs from American workers. Following the “60 Minutes” report highlighting situations of H-1B visa abuse and displaced Americans being forced to train their replacements, Grassley attempted to engage the President... http://rickwells.us/sen-grassley-tweets-trump-join-stopping-h-1b-visa-abuse-us-workers/

Nikki Haley for the win: UN withdraws
anti-Israel report and official resigns
by David Gerstman
{legalinsurrection.com} ~ Last week the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), a group comprised entirely of Arab countries, issued a report accusing Israel of practicing apartheid against the Palestinians... Having a U.N. group make such an accusation was considered a major propaganda win for the anti-Israel movement. As discussed below, the report was authored by people with longstanding anti-Israel records. The report was so disgraceful in content and so obviously political in motive that by Friday the Secretary General of the UN had first disassociated himself from the report and then asked that it removed from the ESCWA’s website. Also on Friday, Rima Khalaf, the Jordanian head of ESCWA resigned. Nikki Haley, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., is credited by many as working to negate this anti-Israel move. This may be a sign of a new U.S. assertiveness at the U.N... http://legalinsurrection.com/2017/03/nikki-haley-for-the-win-un-withdraws-anti-israel-report-and-official-resigns/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LegalInsurrection+%28Le%C2%B7gal+In%C2%B7sur%C2%B7rec%C2%B7tion%29

Cognitive Dissonance in Europe
by Tom McLaughlin
{tommclaughlin.blogspot.com} ~ It had to be galling. Geert Wilders, a member of Dutch Parliament, was found guilty three months ago of “inciting discrimination against Dutch Moroccans” — the very people who have been trying to kill him since at least 2003. Newsweek reported that he has to go around, “wearing a bulletproof vest and being shuttled between safe houses to avoid assassination. ‘I’m not in prison,’ he says. ‘But I’m not free, either. You don’t have to pity me, but I haven’t had personal freedom now for 10 years. I can’t set one foot out of my house or anywhere in the world without security.’”
The Wilders trial perfectly illustrates Europe’s state of cognitive dissonance. In many European Union countries, one is charged with “hate speech” for criticizing Muslims who are terrorizing the entire continent. France’s Marine Le Pen has also been charged in France, along with Brigitte Bardot.
Bardot and Le Pen
It was interesting to watch media spin last Wednesday’s Dutch election results as Geert Wilders’ PVV Party, which they always call “far right,” gained five seats (33%), yet he was “defeated.” Prime Minister Rutte’s VVD Party lost eight seats (-20%), but he won a “great victory.” Prime Minister Rutte’s governing partner in the ruling coalition, the Labour Party, lost nineteen seats (-75%). How is this a victory? Because Wilders didn’t thump him as badly as polls suggested he might.
Wilders is tall. I'm 5'10"
I met Geert Wilders seven years ago at CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, DC. He was surrounded by large, shaven-headed, tough-looking, unsmiling, body guards with ear pieces who were constantly looking around at the rest of us in the hotel function room. He cannot go anywhere without them and it’ll be that way for the rest of his life. Why? Because he’s “far-right”? No, it’s because he has dared to criticize Islam, comparing the Koran to Hitler’s Mein Kampf as both advocate slaughtering Jews. For that, Muslims put a fatwa on his head. That means Muslims are obligated to kill him whenever they get the chance.
Bodyguards check me out
He’s been living like this since he came to the defense of a fellow member of Parliament, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who was a Somali immigrant. Hirsi Ali got off a plane in Holland rather than go on toward Canada where her family had arranged she be married to an aging relative. She was granted asylum and then got elected to Parliament. Hirsi Ali’s Muslim parents had forced her to undergo a genital mutilation procedure when she was a girl.
Hirsi Ali and Wilders at The Hague
Together with filmmaker Theo Van Gogh (great-grandnephew of the famous painter) Hirsi Ali made a short film called “Submission” depicting Muslim treatment of women. For his effort, Van Gogh was shot and stabbed on the street in broad daylight by a Muslim immigrant. Pinned to his body with a knife was a note declaring that Hirsi Ali was next. In 2003, Muslims staged an hour-long grenade assault on a building in The Hague where Ali and Geert Wilders were working in an effort to kill both. In spite of all this, it’s still criminal to criticize the “Religion of Peace” in Europe.
Angela Merkel and other European leaders said the Dutch election last week was a “good day for democracy” and for Europe because Wilders wants Holland to lead Holland out of the European Union. All across Europe, however, there’s a rising opposition to the EU’s open-borders policy of accepting millions Muslim “refugees” in spite of what millions of native-born citizens want. That’s one of the factors propelling the rise other conservative leaders in France, Austria, Germany, Italy, and other EU countries.
Meanwhile, Turkey is threatening to release 15,000 more Muslim “refugees” a month to “blow the mind” of Europe. The Turkish foreign minister said, “Soon, religious wars will begin in Europe.” President liar-nObama’s good buddy, President Erdogan of Turkey urged Muslims living in Europe to have at least five children. It’s part of the Islamic concept of hijrah, which Islam historian Robert Spencer calls “jihad by emigration.”
If you ask ordinary Dutch, French, German, and British people, they’d say the religious wars are already underway and have been for years. Every day there’s a stabbing, a rape, a bomb, a truck attack, or some other Muslim terrorist incident somewhere in Europe, yet Merkel alone let over a million Muslims into Germany just last year. She’s up for re-election in September.
The left in Europe has for decades been pushing for ever more centralized government through the EU and the UN — and for open borders. To pave the way, they’ve attempted to indoctrinate the populace with the multicultural myth that all cultures are equal. Dutch, French, British, German, or any other European culture is no better than Muslim culture. All should be able to live together in harmony. Ordinary Europeans, however, aren’t buying it.
