.Pulosi Urges Comrade Ryan Form 
Anti-2nd Amendment Gun Grabbing Committee

{rickwells.us} ~ In the Democrat race to the microphones and cameras following the shooting in Las Vegas and the chance to be “the first” to come out strong against the NRA... and attack the 2nd Amendment, liar-Hillary Clinton chose twitter. Pulosi, benefiting from having actually won her last election at the hands of her leftist anti-Constitution constituency, had the advantage of having an official position and utilized it to pander by letter, in an “official capacity,” sending a letter to her fellow leftie, Speaker of the House Ryan. She hit on the usual anti-American talking points of the left, equating the 2nd Amendment with black thuggery in “gun free” zones like Chicago. She claims that there has been one mass shooting per day in the US in 2017, perhaps being, as with everything else, far too liberal in her definition of a mass shooting... https://rickwells.us/pelosi-ryan-anti-2nd-amendment-gun/

Republican donors seek out Steve Bannon
by David M. Drucker
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Steve Bannon has begun meeting with Republican donors at their request, as party financiers in the wake of the Alabama special election... attempt to learn what President Trump's former chief strategist has planned for 2018. Some GOP bundlers, in Washington this week for a Republican National Committee fundraiser, sought meetings with Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News, to forge relationships and better understand his plans to target Republican incumbents in 2018 primaries. Roy Moore, Bannon's candidate in the Alabama GOP primary runoff, defeated appointed Sen. Luther Strange, who had the support of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. It was a major embarrassment for McConnell, and Bannon said he plans to replicate the effort in GOP primaries next year to weaken the majority leader and reshape the party in Trump's populist image...  http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/republican-donors-seek-out-steve-bannon/article/2636421?utm_campaign=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert&utm_source=Washington%20Examiner:%20News%20Alert%20-%2010/03/17&utm_medium=email

Stopping Iran Is up to Israel Now
by Efraim Inbar
{meforum.org} ~ Western hopes that Iran will moderate and "engage" with the international community following the faulty 2015 nuclear agreement (JCPOA) have been gradually replaced with apprehension... More voices in the international community are joining Israel in expressing growing concern about Iran's policies. While Iran seems to be abide by the JCPOA, it resists expanding the scope of inspections, continues its nuclear research and development for example upgrading centrifuges and continues to make progress on its long-range missile program. Recently it conducted a test of a missile designed to carry nuclear warheads. Moreover, Iran's involvement in the region attests to its hegemonic plans, defying the notion, propagated by its propagandists, that it is a status quo power acting defensively. Rather, Iran is following its Persian imperial instincts that are reinforced by Muslim jihadist impulses. It already controls four Arab capitals: Baghdad, Beirut, Damascus and Sanaa; its Shi'ite militias and proxies are fighting in Iraq, Syria and Yemen and engaging in ethnic cleansing; and it is on the verge of solidifying the Shi'ite corridor from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean...  http://www.meforum.org/6948/reversing-iran-progress?utm_source=Middle+East+Forum&utm_campaign=eb90c64a14-inbar_efraim_2017_10_03&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_086cfd423c-eb90c64a14-33703665&goal=0_086cfd423c-eb90c64a14-33703665

Faux Feminism

by Arnold Ahlert:  In the last two weeks, a couple of prominent women inadvertently revealed the insufferably presumptive arrogance that forms the heart of progressive ideology.

          “Any woman who voted against liar-Hillary Clinton voted against their [sic] own voice,” declared former First Lady Michelle liar-nObama last Wednesday during a conversation with author Roxane Gay at the Inbound conference in Boston.
          Mrs. liar-nObama kept digging, insisting the 41% of women who voted for Donald Trump weren’t aware enough to think for themselves. “It doesn’t say as much about liar-Hillary, and everybody’s trying to worry about what it means for liar-Hillary and no, no, no, what does this mean for us, as women?” she asked. “That we look at those two candidates, as women, and many of us said, ‘He’s better for me. His voice is more true to me.’ To me that just says, you don’t like your voice. You like the thing you’re told to like.
          Got that? If you’re a woman who didn’t vote for liar-Hillary it wasn’t about the possibility that she’s eminently unlikeable, is a congenital liar, possesses a gargantuan sense of self-entitlement, or is an un-convicted felon who likely compromised national security. It’s all about the inability to like oneself enough — or be smart enough — to transcend such “petty” concerns.
          Perhaps Michelle was inspired by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who weighed in with an equally “astute” analysis of the 2016 election. On Tuesday, in an interview with Charlie Rose on CBS News, Ginsburg stated that she had “no doubt” sexism played a role in the 2016 election. “There’s so many things that might have been decisive but that was a major, major factor,” she insisted.
          Again, some of those other things that “might have been decisive” could include liar-Hillary’s consistent incompetence as secretary of state, her penchant for running the liar-Clinton Foundation as a de facto pay-to-play enterprise, calling half the nation “deplorables,” or even the idea that she abided the Democratic National Committee’s effort, led by Debbie Wasserman Schultz, to rig the primaries against Bernie Sanders.
          Or maybe a lot of “sexists” decided that eight years of sub-par economic growth, worsening race relations, innumerable foreign policy debacles, unfettered illegal immigration, or the ongoing effort to “fundamentally transform the United States of America” into a nation of tribalist sub-groups competing for most-aggrieved status didn’t merit the “third liar-nObama term” for which the Leftmedia shamelessly shilled during the 2016 election campaign.
          One might think Ginsburg would know better than to insert herself into partisan politics — again. During the 2016 campaign, she abandoned any pretense of the impartiality that ostensibly attends her position on the Court. “I can’t imagine what this place would be — I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president,” she opined to The New York Times last July. “For the country, it could be four years. For the Court, it could be — I don’t even want to contemplate that.” We wonder what Justice Neil Gorsuch thinks about her comment.
          Four days later, Ginsburg dug herself a deeper hole in a CNN interview, calling Trump a “faker.” “He has no consistency about him,” she said. “He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego. … How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that.”
          After she was hammered, not just by Trump, but by the far-left New York Times and Washington Post newspapers, Ginsburg apologized. “On reflection, my recent remarks in response to press inquiries were ill-advised and I regret making them,” Ginsburg said in a statement. “Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. In the future I will be more circumspect.”
          Apparently circumspection isn’t Ginsburg’s strong suit. Like the former president’s wife, she demonstrates a similar level of prejudice, hypocrisy and political tone-deafness that sweeping generalizations inevitably engender. Moreover, her “apology” rings exceedingly hollow.
          Townhall’s Katie Pavlich takes Mrs. liar-nObama to task. “Did women who voted for Barack liar-nObama over liar-Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democrat primary ‘vote against their voice’ because they voted against the female candidate?” she asks. “Did Michelle liar-nObama vote against  her  voice for voting for a man, her husband, instead of liar-Hillary?” Pavlich reminds us that would be the same Michelle liar-nObama who “argued liar-Clinton was unqualified to sit in the Oval Office” during the 2008 campaign.
          Ginsburg was equally hypocritical, never mentioning “sexism” when Barack liar-nObama denied liar-Clinton her chance to become the first female president. Nor did she wear a collar she is known to put on her robe indicating her intention to dissent against certain Supreme Court rulings — the same collar she wore the day after Trump’s election, even though no opinions were scheduled to be given.
          Yet perhaps sexism and mindlessness were factors in the 2016 election. “Me, I intend to vote with my vagina,” declared Dame magazine columnist Kate Harding in April 2015. “Unapologetically. Enthusiastically.”
          Part of Harding’s “rationale”? “There has never been a president who knows what it’s like to menstruate, be pregnant, or give birth,” she writes. “There has never been a president who knows what it’s like to be the target of subtle and categorically unsubtle sexism.”
          Harding milked her blood images. “American women have been bleeding for over 200 years while men tell us it’s no big deal, and a lot of us have arrived at the point where we just want someone with a visceral, not abstract, concept of what that means.”
          What about liar-Hillary herself? “Ms. liar-Clinton played down the role of gender the first time she ran for the top job, but this time it’s expected to be a core plank of her campaign,” reported NewsHub in 2015.
         Fast forward to earlier this month, when liar-Clinton joined liar-nObama and Ginsburg in their effort to denigrate non-progressive women. In an  interview with Vox’s Ezra Klein, liar-Clinton tied former FBI Director James Comey’s announcement that he was re-opening the (non)investigation into her emails to the idea that men could turn to their wives or girlfriends and say, “I told you, she’s going to be in jail,” liar-Clinton asserted. “You don’t wanna waste your vote.” liar-Clinton further asserted that women voters who might have been on the fence ultimately decided not to vote for her. “Instead of saying, ‘I’m taking a chance, I’m going to vote,’ it didn’t work,” liar-Clinton added.
          In an interview with NPR she singled out white women she believed were “under tremendous pressure from fathers and husbands and boyfriends and male employers not to vote for ‘the girl.’”
          For decades, progressives have asserted feminism is all about empowering strong, independent women who are unafraid to think for themselves. Yet as liar-nObama and liar-Clinton make abundantly clear, if a woman’s independent thinking doesn’t align itself with progressive ideology, she is nothing more than a self-hating, go-along-to-get-along lackey subservient to a man. Ginsburg is equally obtuse, but if one assumes her assertion applies to both sexes, then women are lackeys and men are misogynists, much like anyone who failed to vote for Barack liar-nObama — or merely disagreed with him in many cases — was “racist.” It doesn’t get more arrogant or presumptive than that.  ~The Patriot Post
