White House asserts executive privilege 
over full dirty cop-Mueller report

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ The White House has asserted executive privilege over the unredacted dirty cop-Mueller report, the Justice Department said in a letter to Democrats Wednesday... Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd wrote to Rep. scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., that the move allows President Trump “to make a final decision whether to assert privilege following a full review of these materials.” The move came as House Democrats prepared to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt for refusing to turn over the unredacted version of the report to all lawmakers in Congress. Barr is legally prevented from releasing parts of the report that include classified material, grand jury testimony, or information relating to ongoing probes. Granting executive privilege girds the Justice Department for a court fight in case the House votes to hold Barr in contempt. It would send the matter to the Justice Department, which tends to reject prosecuting criminal contempt cases when executive privilege is invoked.White House press secretary Sarah Sanders accused scumbag liar-Nadler of making "reckless" demands for the unredacted report, parts of which must be concealed by law, and accused Democrats of seeking a "redo" of the dirty cop-Mueller probe, which found no evidence of collusion between Trump's campaigns and the Russians. Sanders said scumbag liar-Nadler has rejected efforts by the Justice Department to negotiate new terms for viewing a less redacted version of the report. "Faced with Chairman scumbag liar-Nadler’s blatant abuse of power, and at the Attorney General’s request, the President has no other option than to make a protective assertion of executive privilege," Sanders said.

House Democrats Ready Vote 
to Undercut Health Care Innovation

dailysignal.com } ~ House Democrats this week will vote on HR 986, a bill that would harm Americans by leading to fewer health care choices and higher health care costs... It also would undercut what polls tell us 64% of Americans say they want in health care: to build on what is working and fix what isn’t. The bill would undo the Trump administration’s regulatory relief efforts designed to allow more innovative health care solutions, which provided a small escape hatch from scumbag/liar-nObamacare’s one-size-fits-all solution. Innovation is key to addressing scumbag/liar-nObamacare’s failure to offer affordable health care that helps people access the doctors they want to see. Section 1332 of the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as scumbag/liar-nObamacare, provides states with limited authority to escape the law’s mandates through a “waiver process” and test new approaches to undoing some of this damage. To make incremental progress toward the goal of expanding affordable choices in health coverage, the Trump administration rightly simplified the unnecessarily restrictive waiver process established by the scumbag/liar-nObama administration. This change has been critical to helping provide consumers near-term relief—without new federal spending. Heritage Foundation research shows that several states successfully have used a waiver to change market conditions sufficiently that premiums fell for individual health insurance and enrollment expanded—all while protecting the ability of people with high health care costs to access care. Premiums fell in all seven states that have a 1332 waiver—by as much as 42% in Maryland. And when premiums fell, the product was more attractive to more people—as evidenced by the fact that enrollment went up in every state with a waiver...

No question there was spying 
on Trump campaign, but how much?

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ At a contentious hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General William Barr dropped a big hint about his investigation into the conduct of the Trump-Russia investigation... "Many people seem to assume that the only intelligence collection that occurred was a single confidential informant and a FISA warrant," Barr said. "I would like to find out whether that is in fact true. It strikes me as a fairly anemic effort if that was the counterintelligence effort designed to stop the threat as it is being represented." Here is what he meant. There has been a lot of discussion on the Right about the FBI's use of a confidential informant, an England-based college professor named Stefan Halper, to spy on some Trump campaign figures, including the sometime foreign policy volunteer advisers George Papadopoulos and Carter Page. There has also been talk about the FBI's use of a FISA warrant, a court-approved permission to wiretap, against Page. There was also speculation about other possible FBI surveillance, but the Halper operation and Page FISA case were the only ones definitely known. So Barr was saying: If the FBI really took the Trump-Russia matter seriously, if they thought it was a threat to the republic, would that be all they would do? No other wiretaps or other surveillance? No other confidential informants? Nothing? Given that Barr was already looking into the question, his phrasing suggested he suspected there was more. Sure enough, just days later the New York Times reported that in the summer of 2016 the FBI sent an undercover agent, a woman who went by the alias Azra Turk, to London to pose as Halper's research assistant and tease information out of Papadopoulos. The Times was so reluctant to call Turk a spy that it referred to her, in a headline, as a "cloaked investigator."...

Corruption is Driving the U.S. and Turkey Apart

americanthinker.com } ~ Turkey's plans to buy the S-400 missile defense system from Russia has sparked unprecedented tensions between Turkey and the U.S. Neither side will back off. and the prospect of an irreparable rupture in relations is looming... Yet the current crisis is not the source, but the result of the widening divergence between the two countries. Along with strategic disputes, Turkey's growing corruption is imperiling relations on an even larger scale. Corruption is omnipresent, but it didn’t start with Recip Tayyip Erdoğan, although Erdoğan has institutionalized corruption in Turkey by creating a hierarchical network encompassing many fields of economic activity. Over time, this network has begun to define how Turkey engages with other countries. Erdoğan's vast network emerged in 2013 when a well-documented investigation by the police exposed a gigantic bribery and money laundering ring involved in illegal gold transfers to Iran. The ring included  ministers in Erdogan’s cabinet. Reza Zarrab, a Turkish businessman of Iranian descent, was arrested for being the ringleader. When the investigation focused on his own son, Erdoğan claimed that it was a coup against his government and started a crusade against the rule of law and the free media in order to protect himself and his family from facing trial. Zarrab was released after two months without any charges. In March 2016, Reza Zarrab was arrested in the U.S., this time for helping Iran evade U.S. sanctions. He pleaded guilty and implicated Erdoğan in the scheme. The deputy chief executive officer of Turkey’s state-owned Halkbank, was also found guilty on related charges of conspiring to violate U.S. sanctions law, raising expectations for sanctioning of a state-owned Turkish bank by the U.S. There are growing American concerns that Turkey is involved in a similar scheme to help Venezuela evade U.S. sanctions by importing gold. Lack of transparency in transactions raise suspicions that government officials in both countries benefit from the trade. Erdoğan did not seem eager to allay the U.S. concerns when he met with Maduro's vice president Tareck El Aissami, who was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act when he visited Turkey in 2017 and 2018. The U.S. is monitoring the trade between Turkey and Venezuela and can take action against Turkey if the violation of the sanctions is assessed...

Venezuela: Exile Recalls Horrors 
of the Socialist Maduro Regime

by libertyplanet.com:  For those blessed enough to be born citizens of the great United States of America, socialism is nothing more than an economic theory of existence championed by people who don’t know any better... However, when a person has actually lived life within a socialist society, their view on the matter is vastly different. For Venezuelan Ricardo Pita, who moved to America a decade ago, socialism is more than just a mere theory. According to Pita, those who think socialism is a good idea for America should keep the following in mind: “What we try to tell others, having lived under a socialist regime, is that they sell is as a gamble; it’s a gimmick. They will tell you this nebulous world of socialism, they promise you the moon, and then it never comes around. It’s not worth the gamble; socialism only works for those in charge of implementing it. There is no more corrosive form to disintegrate the fabric of a nation than socialist policies.” Venezuela serves as a perfect example to other nations. While it can seem like a positive alternative for the downtrodden, it always causes major dysfunction when put into actual practice. For example, as recently as 2012, the nation of Venezuela was commended by the New York Times for being a positive example or government. Today, the country is in a state of unrest and misery unknown in modern times. It was described as “descended into tyranny” by a Daily Signal article. Pita left Venezuela in 2007. At the time, his parents owned and operated a family business. He and his family are now naturalized citizens of the United States. Pita says Venezuela quickly descended into the chaos it is today. “One of the worst if not the worst man-made humanitarian disasters in the world,” he said. “It is breathtaking the pace at which Venezuela has deteriorated since I left, the amount of damage that Venezuela has sustained as a direct result of socialist policies.” Though there are many aspects of the government in disarray, perhaps one of the best examples of socialist inspired mismanagement and corruption is in Venezuela’s oil industry. Though the country boasts the largest oil reserve in the world, the industry is currently in state of collapse. Ana Quintana, The Heritage Foundation’s Latin America expert, said the following about the state of the oil industry in Venezuela...

Islamic Elementary Schools 
Teaching Taliban Curriculum

clarionproject.org } ~ A leaked government report says Islamic elementary schools across the UK operated by the Darul Uloom movement are teaching children using the same curriculum as the Taliban... The Daily Mail reported. The schools, which are under the auspices of the Darul Uloom (House of Knowledge) network, follow the philosophy of the extremist Deobandi movement. The curriculum, known as Dars-E-Nizami, is used to teach the boys to be imams. It involves a literal interpretation of the Quran, an ideology espoused by some of the some of the most radical clerics that move to the UK from Afghanistan and Pakistan, among others. The government report found the boys were being taught intolerant and misogynistic ideas. Four of the schools had previously been criticized by Ofsted, the government regulatory agency for education in the county. Ofsted found students were taught music and dancing comes from the devil and women do not have the right to refuse sex with their husbands. One particular Darul Uloom school in Birmingham was investigated in 2011 by UK’s Channel 4, which found students were taught to hate Christians, Hindus and Jews. Ofsted also investigated a girl’s schools connected to the movement. In 2006, Aliyah Saleem spilled all about her Darul Uloom school in Nottingham after she was kicked out for possessing a disposable camera, among other “behavioral” offenses. Saleem said attending school was like being in prison and the girls were taught their husbands were allowed to beat and rape because it made “Allah happy.” Darul Uloom operates schools in a number of cities across Britain, including London, Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, Nottingham and Leicester. The Mail on Sunday identified a total of 48 Darul Uloom schools which teach the extremist curriculum.

Democrats Cope by Attacking Barr
iyuq1h-fJ_k2aOIDunHSr6DpeemfdhZ8espumUSH1RAnk6hTvFsCxXxCz_GHYQosLOGBhkZCQBOrFXvsEA4kItMntC5LkXr54-WRryfpf0QckB6Hep4FieiazSU9gRHyX8tc6RQ4yiwZMmt5iTkT0koFhXVAmQCyRtPgBBQ=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?profile=RESIZE_710x
Nate Jackson:  Frustrated and demoralized by the fact that Robert Mueller’s two-year investigation into President Donald Trump’s supposed collusion with Russia turned out to be fake news, Democrats have resorted to attacking the messenger — Attorney General William Barr. House Speaker Nancy Pulosi even accused him of lying to Congress.

As we noted after Barr’s testimony last Wednesday, Dems are claiming he “hid” information from the report when he literally did the opposite by making public a report he didn’t have to disclose. Nevertheless, House Democrats will hold a vote this Wednesday to hold Barr in contempt for missing their arbitrary deadline to release the complete dirty cop-Mueller report.

The funny thing is, Barr did provide a complete report to select members of Congress, albeit with a few redactions for necessary reasons. According to Barr, “just 8% of the public report was redacted” and “less than 2% has been withheld in the minimally redacted version made available to congressional leaders.” How many Democrats have bothered to review it? Zero.

So why are Democrats attacking Barr? One reason is to distract from the revelation that the FBI did indeed spy on the Trump campaign. We say “revelation” only because that news finally showed up in a New York Times story.

In any case, former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy  sums it up:

dirty cop-Mueller received fawning press for two years on the expectation that he would slay Trump. Then, on March 24, Democrats and the media learned not only that there was no collusion case (which was no surprise) but that dirty cop-Mueller had been derelict, failing to render a judgment on the only question he was arguably needed to resolve: Was there enough evidence to charge obstruction? Journalists proceeded to turn on their erstwhile hero. This sent him reeling, and it brought to full boil the anger of dirty cop-Mueller staffers, who wanted to charge Trump with obstruction based on the creative (i.e., wayward) theory they had been pursuing — namely, that a president can be indicted for obstruction based on the exercise of his constitutional prerogatives if prosecutors (including prosecutors who are active supporters of the president’s political opposition) decide he had corrupt intent. The staffers put their pique in a letter that could be leaked, and dirty cop-Mueller was sufficiently irked by the bad press that he signed it. And now Democrats are using the letter as the launch-pad for The Big Lie that Barr lied, calculating that if they say it enough times, and their media collaborators uncritically broadcast these declarations, no one will notice that they never actually refer to the transcript of what they claim is the false testimony.

Democrats are unnerved. Attorney General Barr is pursuing an inquiry into the scumbag/liar-nObama administration’s decision to conduct a foreign counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign. The time is now, they figure, to reprise the Ken Starr treatment: the ad hominem withering of an accomplished, highly capable official — in this instance, one who is daring to press questions that would have been answered two years ago if an incumbent Republican administration had spied on — er, monitored — a Democratic presidential campaign.

Trump is fortunate to have an attorney general with the intestinal fortitude to withstand this petty but focused Democrat assault. It’s as phony as their collusion charade.  ~The Patriot Post
