The Buried Lede of the Inspector General’s Report

by DANIEL J. FLYNN

{ spectator.org } ~ Buried in Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz’s report on the liar-Clinton email investigation lies a disturbing passage... concerning information obtained by the FBI alleging that Attorney General Loretta Lynch attempted to put her thumb on the scales of justice to exonerate liar-Hillary Clinton. “Comey said that he also was concerned about an issue specific to Lynch,” Horowitz reports. “As discussed in more detail in the classified appendix to this report, Comey told the OIG that the FBI had obtained highly classified information in March 2016 that included allegations of partisan bias or attempts to impede the Midyear investigation by Lynch.” What, specifically, did the “highly classified information” indicate? It is “highly classified,” so we naturally remain in the dark. What justified making the information “highly classified”? Nuclear secrets? A list of U.S. spies abroad? War plans to invade Canada? We do not know. But in an age when the Justice Department assails words that merely embarrass with redacting markers, the words “highly classified” provoke curiosity rather than close questions. Comey’s manner of dismissing the information does not inspire confidence. “When asked about this information,” the report explains, “Comey stated that he knew it was not credible on its face because it was not consistent with his personal experience with Lynch.”... Why is Loretta Lynch getting away with it?    https://spectator.org/the-buried-lede-of-the-inspector-generals-report/?utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newslink&utm_term=members&utm_content=20180626210340

China Begins to Question Their Economic Ability To 

Withstand U.S. Trade Pressure – Bamboo Forest 

Too Dense For Local Panda Population

by sundance

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Xi Jinping vowed to match Donald Trump blow for blow in any trade war... Now as one gets closer, some in Beijing are starting to openly wonder whether China is ready for the fight — an unusually direct challenge to the leadership of the world’s second-largest economy. The essays have raised concerns that the ruling Communist Party underestimated the depth of anti-China sentiment in Washington and risked a premature showdown with the world’s sole superpower. Such views push the bounds of acceptable public debate in a nation where dissent can lead to censure or even jail time, and are particularly bold given Xi has amassed unrivaled control while leading China to a more assertive role on the world stage. […] “It seems like Chinese officials were mentally unprepared for the approaching trade friction or trade war,” Gao Shanwen, chief economist for Beijing-based Essence Securities Co., whose biggest shareholders include large state-owned enterprises, wrote in one widely circulated commentary...

The Media’s Sickness Is Terminal

by GEORGE NEUMAYR

{ spectator.org } ~ One of the media’s favorite refrains against Donald Trump in 2016 was that he lacked the “temperament” and “maturity” to govern... The charge was usually leveled by the most ill-tempered, immature journalists imaginable. It is typical of the left, which owns almost all of the media, to demand “civility” of its opponents while granting itself limitless incivilities. In the grip of government power, when they need to tame their opposition, liberals will pompously talk about the “rules of decorum.” But the moment they are out of power they immediately start breaking them. In the 1990s, the rattiest members of the liar-Clinton administration famously called for a “civility commission,” which led to a sham group at the University of Pennsylvania populated mainly by uncivil liberals upset at Rush Limbaugh and company for challenging their power. The relativism underpinning liberalism makes it hopelessly willful. Its relationship to civility is determined not by any principle independent of human will but by pure political opportunism. Insofar as civility is useful to gaining or preserving power, liberals pretend to honor it. But the moment civility becomes an impediment to holding or regaining power, they give themselves permission to violate it. The “ends” suddenly justify the means, and anyone who questions their uncivil behavior fails to see the “higher” good at stake...

Elaine Chao physically blocks protesters from 

husband Mitch McConnell: 'He's not the president'

by Emma Ayers

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao took a stand against protesters who were shouting at her husband, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell... R-Ky., as the pair exited a church. In a video circulating on Twitter on Tuesday, a group of young protesters can be seen approaching the waiting car, posters in hand and shouting about the Trump administration's zero tolerance immigration policy. “Why are you separating families?” one man yelled, casting blame on the Senate leader for the hardline immigration policy that had resulted in family separations on the U.S.-Mexico border. This is the latest incident in a string of recent pro-immigrant protests against Republican officials since reports of the family separations first broke...

‘Look, there’s a smuggler’: Video shows firsthand 

how illegal immigrants are crossing into the US 

by Jana J. Pruet

{ theblaze.com } ~ An ABC News correspondent and crew tagged along with a U.S. Customs and Border Protection official Monday... and saw firsthand how smugglers are helping immigrants cross the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. “That’s a smuggler!” Border Patrol agent Robert Rodriguez yelled. Rodriguez had spotted the suspected smuggler while he was walking down a dirt trail with ABC’s Tony Llamas next to the Rio Grande River near McAllen, Texas. The alleged smuggler had just dropped off two mothers, their children, and a teenage boy, ABC News reported. The agent ran after the shirtless man who quickly headed back down the path where he had left his inflatable raft waiting in the river for him. He jumped onto the raft and started paddling back across the river into Mexico...

On Trump's Authority, Due Process and 'Racism'  

by Nate Jackson:  “We cannot have a system of catch and release. We are a sovereign nation. We have to secure our borders. And so we just simply cannot have a situation where people are apprehended, they’re released, they don’t return to court, and they know they’re able to do that.” Was that President Donald Trump on another tirade about immigration? Was it one of his officials earning the harassment leveled at them by dummycrats-Democrats? No, it was Jeh Johnson, secretary of homeland security for Barack liar-nObama.

             Those comments set up Trump’s recent actions, both in terms of establishing zero-tolerance prosecution policies at the border and then stepping back with last Wednesday’s executive order. Then came yesterday’s report that the Border Patrol has suspended prosecutions of adults crossing the border with children — unless, the Associated Press notes, “they had criminal history or the child’s welfare was in question.” DHS says it’s “out of resources” to detain families.
               Meanwhile, Trump continued his musings about immediate deportation, saying, “People must simply be stopped at the Border and told they cannot come into the U.S. illegally. Children brought back to their country. If this is done, illegal immigration will be stopped in it’s tracks — and at very little, by comparison, cost.”
               Does Trump have the authority to do this? Yes, under 8 U.S.C. §1182(f), which empowers the president to turn away at the border immigrants he deems unfit for entry.
               Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.
               That’s the same authority he has for the much-maligned travel ban that the Supreme Court upheld just today. In other words, he’s not “denying due process,” as the Leftmedia would have you believe; he’d be enforcing the law.
               But none of the actual facts matter to the Left. Hollywood’s Rob Reiner opined on the only angledummycrats-Democrats are interested in for the 2018 elections: “This is pure and simple racism — that’s all this is. [Trump is] hoping that the people who support him will be ginned up and running to the polls to make sure that brown people don’t come into America. … It’s a fascist playbook.” Translation: If you support border security and law enforcement, you’re a racist.   ~The Patriot Post
