Speier Attacks Trump For Exposing
liar-nObama Deep State Takeover Of FBI, DOJ
{rickwells.us} ~ The next phase of the anti-Trump Democrat coup is taking shape... and it is part of their circling of the wagons around their own corrupt operatives, this time, Andrew McCabe. Clearly McCabe has been identified as a target for investigation, which drove him to announce he’ll be retiring once he qualifies for full benefits, in approximately 90 days. He knows how dirty he is, what he’s done as an liar-nObama/liar-Clinton henchman, he’s trying to get out while he still can. Providing him cover protects all of the dirty globalist Dems, so it’s only natural that they are being mobilized in the aftermath of his horrible performance in House testimony. Rep Jackie Speier, one of those who still hasn’t answered for her role in the Awan brothers espionage case, says at the approximate 1:20 point of the video that she was very impressed by his responses. Of course she was... https://rickwells.us/speier-attacks-trump-fbi-doj/

NFL cancels final ‘Sunday
Night Football’ broadcast of the year
by Mike Isenberg
{thewildcard.com} ~ This season has been a nightmare for NFL television ratings... But has it gotten so bad the league would cancel a primetime telecast? The NFL doesn’t want to take the risk of having bad ratings for a game without playoff implications. So the NFL has taken the unique step of having all of its Week 17 games with playoff implications kickoff at the same time to ensure high drama. That means for the first time since 1977, the NFL’s regular season won’t end with either a Sunday night or Monday night telecast... https://www.thewildcard.com/nfl-cancels-final-sunday-night-football-game-year/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=savingourfuture&utm_campaign=dailyam&utm_content=libertyalliance.
White House Lawyers Still Claim
Robert Mueller Will End Probe Soon
by JOEL B. POLLAK
{breitbart.com} ~ The White House continues to claim... that Special Counsel Robert Mueller will end his inquiry into possible collusion between Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Russian government. In an interview Monday, Jay Sekulow, a member of the president’s legal team, stood by the prediction that the part of the inquiry involving Mr. Trump would end soon. Still, he avoided any mention of specific dates. “I know we, collectively, the lawyers, are looking forward to an expeditious wrapping up of this matter,” Mr. Sekulow said. A spokesman for Mr. Mueller’s office declined to comment... http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/12/26/white-house-lawyers-still-claim-robert-mueller-will-end-probe-soon/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=daily&utm_content=links&utm_campaign=20171226.
FBI Offered Anti-Trump Spy $50k
if He Could Prove Russian Connection
by V SAXENA
A report revealing that the FBI offered former MI6 spy Christopher Steele... a cash payout last year to corroborate the since-debunked information in the infamous “Trump dossier” raises troubling questions about the agency’s integrity and commitment to truth. Steele’s contact with the FBI specifically told him that if he “could get solid corroboration of his reports, the F.B.I. would pay him $50,000 for his efforts, according to two people familiar with the offer,” The New York Times reported in April. “Ultimately, he was not paid.” Fast forward to Dec. 13 of this year, when the House Judiciary Committee questioned Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein about whether the agency offered to pay for the corroboration of a dossier that we now know is full of lies...That would of been our tax dollars folks. https://conservativetribune.com/fbi-offered-anti-trump-spy-50k/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=patriotupdate&utm_campaign=dailypm&utm_content=libertyalliance.
California Parents Barred from Opting
Kids Out of Mandatory LGBT-InclusiveTextbooks
by Trey Sanchez
{truthrevolt.org} ~ California has become the first state in the union to mandate the use of LGBT-inclusive textbooks in elementary schools... and have given parents no way to opt out. The choice has been made for them. It’s the law. That law requires a “fair, accurate, inclusive, and respectful” treatment of homosexual, bisexual, transgender, and lesbian Americans despite the historical insignificance...I am so sorry for the parents in California. So very happen we moved 40 years ago. https://www.truthrevolt.org/news/california-parents-barred-opting-kids-out-mandatory-lgbt-inclusive-textbooks.

Heritage Breaks Two Glass Ceilings
by Cal Thomas{townhall.com} ~ liar-Hillary Clinton was supposed to break the glass ceiling, which she said has kept a woman from becoming president, but the Heritage Foundation, a conservative public policy think tank based in Washington, D.C., has actually done it.
Their new president is Kay Cole James, a female, an African-American and a conservative, who fits no one's mold. While her background is formidable -- former director of the Office of Personnel Management, Virginia secretary of Health and Human Resources, and dean of Regent University's School of Government among other accomplishments -- her vision is even more compelling.
Perhaps that is because she agrees with me on the issue of liberating poor and minority children from failing public schools and building a foundation that will give them a better future.
In a telephone interview, James tells me school choice for these kids is one of her "top priorities." The left has tried and failed to improve the lives of African-Americans through government programs. As Donald Trump said during the 2016 presidential campaign, why not try a different approach? President Trump has also placed welfare reform as a top priority in 2018. The last time it was tried, under liar-Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich, it succeeded. As president of Heritage, James can give Trump the intellectual and factual resources to make further reforms and achieve this and other goals.
A return to the intellectual heft of William F. Buckley Jr. and outgoing Heritage president Edwin Feulner is much needed in a conservative movement that has been hijacked by nastiness and anger. Winning an argument is preferable to destroying one's opponent. It can also produce better results.
Cole's "inaugural address" hit just the right tone: "Heritage has always promoted economic growth and opportunity -- and why it has never wavered in opposing those who would burden our freedoms and future with the suffocating force of mindless regulations and punitive taxes."
Who opposes growth and opportunity? The debate has been over how to get there. History shows which ideas worked and which failed.
"Success in politics is about issues, ideas and the vision we have for our country in the world," James said. George H.W. Bush dismissed "the vision thing," but "Without a vision the people perish." (Proverbs 29:18)
For liberals who might accuse James of being insufficiently black because of her conservatism, let them respond to this: "When I was 12 years old, I started attending an all-white middle school. To say we weren't welcome is an understatement. Despite the Supreme Court's Brown versus Board of Education ruling, Virginia Democrats insisted on keeping the public schools segregated.
"So 25 incredibly brave black kids and I tried to change that. For a while, navigating the packed hallways meant being jeered at, stuck with pins, shoved, and even kicked down the stairs. I see it on your faces -- yes, it was awful. But it was worth it. You see, I'd been given a great gift -- the opportunity to fight for something I believed in. And it changed me forever."
When a conservative favorably quotes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. you might expect a new day may be coming for the conservative moment. James noted King's remarks the day before he was murdered 50 years ago: "We have an opportunity to make America a better nation ... to make America what it ought to be."
That is an ongoing and never-ending quest, but James, whom I have known for several decades, will do it with a cheerful spirit, a confidence based on ideas that have proved their worth and a charm that can disarm her most ardent critics.
That's a pretty good package that offers an opportunity to retreat from battling each other's personalities, integrity and patriotism and instead focus on the best ideas that will improve any American who embraces them.
