Right Side of History: Voter Fraud and 

Attempts to Steal Elections as Old as the Republic

by Fred Lucas and Jarrett Stepman

{ dailysignal.com } ~ “The Right Side of History” is a podcast dedicated to exploring current events through a historical lens and busting left-wing myths... about figures and events of America’s past. On this week’s episode, hosts Jarrett Stepman, a contributor to The Daily Signal, and Fred Lucas, The Daily Signal’s White House correspondent, discuss the history of voter fraud in the United States. Among the most talked about controversies is the 1960 presidential race, where demonstrable chicanery occurred in Illinois and Texas. Questions also surrounded the controversial election of 1876 and the Hayes-Tilden dispute. However, in most cases, it’s not presidential races where voter fraud has its biggest impact. More recently, numerous cases of noncitizens registered to vote were discovered in several states. There have been more than 1,100 proven cases of voter fraud, according to The Heritage Foundation’s voter fraud database...

Dershowitz - Nobody Knows if Trump Can Pardon Himself - 

But He Can't be Prosecuted

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ Against a backdrop of Rudy Giuliani reminding folks that Trump has done nothing wrong... and his opinion that if he chose to pardon himself it would lead to his immediate impeachment, Alan Dershowitz offers his expert opinion, saying that nobody knows because it’s not in the Constitution, nobody has every debated it in the judiciary, and there are no legal precedents. Dershowitz goes one step further, saying he doesn’t think we’ll ever know the answer because he doesn’t think any president will ever pardon himself, for a very obvious reason, they don’t have to. “A sitting president can’t be prosecuted and pardon doesn’t apply to impeachment. So the concept just never will come up.” Dershowitz says the Constitution is very clear on the grounds for impeachment, “Treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors. Pardoning oneself doesn’t fit into any of those categories. So you cannot, in my view, impeach the President.”...   https://rickwells.us/dershowitz-trump-pardon-prosecuted/

Iran tells UN it will hike uranium enrichment 

capacity, possibly from Wednesday 

by AFP and TOI STAFF

{ timesofisrael.com } ~ Iran has notified the International Atomic Energy Agency that it has launched a plan to increase its uranium enrichment capacity... nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi said Tuesday. “If conditions allow, maybe tomorrow night at Natanz, we can announce the opening of the center for production of new centrifuges” for uranium enrichment, said Salehi, a vice president and head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization, according to conservative news agency Fars. “What we are doing does not violate the 2015 nuclear agreement,” he said, adding that a letter was  submitted to the IAEA “yesterday regarding the start of certain activities.” He specified that it was just the start of the production process and “does not mean that we will start assembling the centrifuges.”...Whats this another coverup lie.

China Flight Tests New Multi-Warhead ICBM 

by Bill Gertz

{ freebeacon.com } ~ China moved closer to deploying its newest and most lethal strategic weapon by conducting the 10th flight test of the DF-41 intercontinental-range missile last week... Defense officials said the flight test of the multi-warhead DF-41 took place May 27 at the Taiyuan Space Launch Center in northern China and flew overland several thousand miles to an impact zone in the western Gobi Desert. "We are aware of recent flight tests and we continue to monitor weapons development in China but we cannot provide information on specific tests," Pentagon spokesman Marine Corps Lt. Col. Christopher Logan told the Washington Free Beacon...   http://freebeacon.com/national-security/china-flights-tests-new-multi-warhead-icbm/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=edf4290fc3-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_06_04_11_24_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-edf4290fc3-45611665

Were the Rocket Attacks from Gaza Instigated by Iran?

by mosaicmagazine.com 

{ mosaicmagazine.com } ~ As the U.S. has increased economic pressure on Iran and made clear that it is considering increased political and military pressure as well... Israel has used superior air power and intelligence to destroy Iranian military installations in Syria. When, last week, the Gaza-based terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad began launching rockets and mortars at Israeli civilians, was it acting on the orders of a Tehran eager to push back? Jonathan Spyer writes: Palestinian Islamic Jihad is a wholly owned franchise of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). While the apparent “motive” for its commencement of rocket fire was the killing of three of its militants by the IDF after a failed IED attack, this incident would not normally have been of sufficient magnitude to generate the largest barrage of rockets since Operation Protective Edge in 2014. It is therefore probable that the escalation in Gaza . . . was an example of Iran’s ability to mobilize a proxy on one front to place pressure on an adversary in response to events taking place in another arena...

We'll Do The Rest

by Tom McLaughlin

 

{ tommclaughlin.blogspot.com } ~ After spitting in a tube my adult children sent me for Fathers’ Day last year, then mailing it out and waiting six weeks, ancestry.com sent me DNA results. My sputum — or 98% of it at least — matches that of people living today in three regions of Ireland: the Inishowen Peninsula in County Donegal; County Mayo in west/central Ireland; and the southwestern counties of Cork and Kerry.

 

 

None of this surprised me. Those DNA findings confirm forty years of research into my ancestors and three trips to the country of my ancestors, but one thing did puzzle me at first. The McLaughlins I met while traveling in Inishowentold me the Gaelic version of our name — MacLochlainn” translates to “Of the Vikings” so I expected to find DNA traces from Scandinavia. Viking raiders started raping and pillaging the Irish coast during the 9th century, then established settlements in many places over the next 400 years. They founded Dublin itself, so many Irish should have Scandinavian DNA after all that.

 

 

Further research into ancestry.com's site explained it. My DNA profile matches people living in those regions of Ireland now — many of whom would likely have Scandinavian ancestors, whereas people living in Denmark, Norway, or Sweden would not tend to have Celtic ancestors from Ireland. The Irish didn’t raid or settle in those colder regions, so my DNA would not match many people now living in those countries.

 

 

Most historians agree that Celtic people first settled in Ireland only 2500 years ago — around 500 BC. There were already people living there when the Celts arrived, but historians disagree about who they were or where they might have come from. Some claim they arrived from northern Iberia and I’ve read claims of migration from North Africa, the Fertile Crescent, and what is now Russia going back 5000-8000 years. Recent DNA research at Dublin’s Trinity College offers corroborating evidence for these claims.

 

After Vikings were assimilated, the British took over large parts of Ireland by the 14th century and did not get along with native Irish. Some Irish accepted British conquerors but most continued to resist and were banished westward to rocky hills and bogs “beyond the pale.” The “pale” was line of wooden stakes driven into the ground as a boundary. That now-familiar English phrase has come to mean “outside the bounds of acceptable behavior” and both meanings were applied to my ancestors by British conquerors.

 

When Oliver Cromwell began his depredations in Ireland around the 1640s, he further banished rebellious Irish “To hell or Connaught.” The latter is in western Ireland “beyond the pale” where most of my forebears lived before emigrating to America beginning in the early 1800s. Some, including the Haggertys and McDonalds, then settled around Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and worked in the coal mines. They moved north to Boston in the early 20th century, intermarried with the Fitzgeralds and McLaughlins, and begat me.

 

 

While all that interests me and I’m still researching ancestors named Sullivan, McQuire, Harrington, Mahoney, Cassidy, and others, I think of myself as 100% American. That’s not an ethnicity; it’s an attitude. It’s an idea for organizing humans to the extent they wish to be organized. To be American is to believe the Constitution is the most brilliant governing document ever written, even if Supreme Court Justice Ruth Ginsburg disagrees.


As an Irishman who calls himself “Bono” said:

“America is an idea, isn’t it… That’s how we see you around the world: as one of the greatest ideas in history… The idea is that you and me are created equal… the idea that life is not meant to be endured but enjoyed, the idea that if we have dignity, if we have justice, then leave it to us; we’ll do the rest. This country he was speaking at Georgetown University was the first to claw its way out of darkness and put that on paper. And God love you for it…”

 

 

He was referring, of course, to the Declaration of Independence, but the ideas expressed there were soon after codified into our plan for government: the US Constitution. To the extent that we preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, as so many of have sworn to do, we preserve the idea of America. The Constitution curtails government and confers “liberty and justice for all” — then leaves it to us to do the rest — as we see fit.

 

 

It’s the idea of America that makes us great. It makes us the kind of country to which so many others want to come. We have many races and ethnicities in America. They’re all welcome so long as they endorse the idea. If they don’t, they shouldn’t be allowed to come.
