{thepoliticalinsider.com} ~ Why hasn’t liar-Hillary Clinton been prosecuted for sending and disseminating highly classified materials on a home email server?... We’re about to get answers, as liar-Clinton faces serious legal issues. The FBI chief of staff and senior counselor to Director Christopher Wray will meet with the House Oversight Committee on Thursday. And Republicans on the Committee are ready to demand real answers. The House Oversight Committee, through a spokesperson, has confirmed Jim Rybicki will testify as part of their investigation into liar-nObama’s Department of Justice probe into liar-Clinton’s illegally operated private home email server. That initial investigation led to former FBI Director James Comey quickly announcing, in the heat of the 2016 presidential race, there would be no criminal charges filed against the former Secretary of State and Democratic nominee, despite overwhelming evidence of wrongdoing...  https://thepoliticalinsider.com/house-hillary-email-probe-andrew-mccabe/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=criticalimpact&utm_campaign=TPI_Morning_Newsletter_1_16_2018&utm_content=4b4ea4948726422aa6473c7b9fa19141&source=CI

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Special counsel Robert Mueller has subpoenaed Steve Bannon, the former chief strategist for President Trump... According to the New York Times, Bannon was subpoenaed last week to testify before a grand jury as part of Mueller’s broad probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and Russia's possible collusion with the Trump campaign. Bannon was on Capitol Hill Tuesday testifying behind closed doors before the House Intelligence Committee, which is also investigating Russia’s meddling and possible collusion. According to the New York Times, this is the first time Mueller has used a grand jury subpoena to get information from someone in Trump’s inner circle...  http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/steve-bannon-subpoenaed-by-special-counsel-robert-mueller/article/2646044?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert%20-%2001/16/18&utm_medium=email

{frontpagemag.com} ~ They are risking their lives to bring freedom to Iran, and vow to continue their protests... "These uprisings have just begun. People are not at all willing to give up," one activist told Fox News from the streets of Iran. The protesters are members of the long banned opposition group, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI, also known as the MEK). The group's leader, Maryam Rajavi, has been directly blamed by the Iranian government for fomenting the unrest. The group is calling for Iran’s oil exports to also be subject to sanctions, the ability of the Tehran regime to access the international banking system to be cut off, as well as other punitive measures...  https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/269040/iran-protesters-cheer-trump-call-sanctions-daniel-greenfield

{frontpagemag.com} ~ liar-nObama's backing for the Arab Spring, pandering to Iran and mismanagement of Iraq helped create the ISIS monster... And now Samantha Power, liar-nObama's UN emissary, is revising history while trying to blame Trump. liar-nObama turned over Iraq to Iran. The withdrawal sealed the deal. liar-nObama Inc. insisted on dealing only with the Shiite central government in Baghdad even as it repressed Sunnis. The truly surreal moment comes here, "And I don’t hear anything out of this administration. hanoi-John Kerry and Joe loose lips-Biden were on the phone every day with Abadi, trying to get the political equation right, trying to reverse de-Baathification, all those years later after George W. Bush, so that Sunnis felt welcome." It was actually Bush who approved the Sunni Awakening. That's what broke down ISIS. liar-nObama cut them loose. Even after the ISIS takeover, liar-nObama continued pandering to Iran by backing the Baghdad regime. When the Sunnis came to Washington D.C., it was Bush who reached out...  https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/269038/samantha-powers-shameless-isis-revisionism-daniel-greenfield

National-Anthem Statue Trashed in Baltimore

{wnd.com} ~ Even statues of children are no longer safe from anti-American vandals... A bronze statue depicting two children honoring the national anthem in Patterson Park in Baltimore was defaced Monday with red paint. The words “Racist Anthem” were painted in front of it. The plaque on the statue read: “To commemorate the centennial of the writing of the Star-Spangled Banner, the pupils of the public schools of Baltimore have erected this memorial upon Hampstead Hill where in September, 1814, the citizen soldiers of Maryland stood ready to sacrifice their lives in defense of their homes and their country.” It was paid for by pennies from public school students more than a century ago. A nearby cannon was also defaced...Why don't these people just leave the USA.  http://www.wnd.com/2018/01/national-anthem-statue-trashed-in-major-u-s-city/

Division Dynamics

{tommclaughlin.blogspot.com} ~ Some call him the most divisive president ever. Some say he’s also the worst while others say he’s the best. He’s been in the White House a year now. Will he serve out the four-year term for which he was elected? Not if Trump-haters have their way. They’ve been looking to prevent that since before he was inaugurated.

Even his supporters acknowledge his numerous and obvious flaws, but will overlook them so long as he fulfills his campaign promises. Many expected his narcissism to subside but, alas, it has not, nor is it likely to. President Trump has suffered the most relentlessly negative media coverage in living memory, perhaps of all time, but it hasn’t diminished his opinion of himself. Even former President Carter remarked: “I think the media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I’ve known about. I think they feel free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged and everything else without hesitation.”

According to Justice Antonin Scalia's friend, Brian Garner, “Scalia thought it was most refreshing to have a candidate who was pretty much unfiltered and utterly frank.” That’s a summation of Trump upon which both his supporters and detractors will agree. Scalia may have liked him as a candidate, but whether he’d have liked Trump to be elected we’ll never know because he died ten months before election day. One of Trump’s first actions as president was to nominate a Supreme Court justice as much like Scalia as possible.

Hoping to cripple him or remove him, Trump-haters focused at first on alleged collusion between Trump and Vladimir Putin to win the election. That comprised the bulk of media coverage ever since he defeated liar-Hillary Clinton even though no evidence has emerged to support it after intense investigation by the FBI, several congressional committees, and a special prosecutor for over a year. The only evidence of Russian collusion found so far has involved the Democratic National Committee and the liar-Hillary Clinton Campaign, but Trump-haters are not inclined to follow those threads.

Collusion allegations have thus faded. To get rid of Trump, detractors are searching for other means. The special prosecutor isn’t limited to Russian election collusion; he can investigate anything he chooses, and he is. The special prosecutor who went after President liar-Clinton two decades ago was appointed to investigate a shady Arkansas real estate deal called Whitewater, but instead probed not only sexual harassment but consensual sexual escapades as well. When liar-Clinton lied about those under oath, he was impeached. Something similar could happen to President Trump.

As President Carter pointed out, some detractors claim he’s deranged and would invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him. That’s never been attempted and would be a long shot at best. So now what? Mainstream media are currently in high dudgeon about allegations that Trump used the S-word to describe El Salvador, Haiti, and some African countries while negotiating immigration policy with Democrats. Accusing the president of saying sh** isn’t going to outrage many people so media are claiming the president is “racist.” Though not so in El Salvador, most people in Haiti and African countries are black. Therefore, calling them “sh**hole countries” is tantamount to racism, they insist. It’s a stretch, but mainstream media are riding it for as much mileage as it will bring them.

During a visit by the prime minister of Norway, Trump is said to have asked why we can’t have more immigrants from that country. Because most people in Norway are white, media continued piling up their “Trump is racist” coverage. Locally, Maine’s Portland Press Herald editorialized:
“This was the white nationalist vision of America that was promoted by Trump and his disgraced adviser Steve Bannon in the campaign. It is a view of America that was embraced by some large numbers of voters, who cheered Trump’s vision of a fortress America, where dark-skinned immigrants were kept out by a great wall.”
trumpbannon3_1318.jpg
Really? Trump and Bannon “promoted a white nationalist vision of America”? Their slogan was “America First” and that’s certainly nationalist, but where and when did either of them ever say anything about skin color? Trump organized a lot of rallies and made a lot of speeches. Can the Press Herald cite anything he said to support its claim? The paper has promoted the “Russia/Trump collusion” story for a year without evidence. Now it has jumped to accusations of “white nationalism” without evidence as well.

Is Trump dividing America, or did America’s divisions exist before he was elected? What might those divisions have been? Left vs right? Class divisions? Coastal elites vs heartland? College-educated vs non-college-indoctrinated? All of them? Was Trump elected because of those divisions? Whatever divisions there were, they’ve widened considerably since the election, but who is driving the wedge? Trump supporters or Trump haters?
