Chomsky Calls Russian Interference a Joke - Blames Guess Who?
ROBBj56wS_ezzf6plC-rGDvq5p1U2qeh-0w1KxTTqC0-VqDJ4LE3HJvfWve7nE4ZzwgtL0JnZsLHfPUCN1k8aM-1usdKIA=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450by Alan M. Dershowitz
{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ Noam Chomsky has gone off the deep end once again. This time he claims that in "most of the world" the issue of Russian interference in U.S. elections is "almost a joke."... The real villain, according to him, is, of course, Israel -- as it almost always is with Chomsky. According to the world's "top public intellectual," Israeli intervention in U.S. elections, "vastly overwhelms anything the Russians may have done." His proof of this absurd and false charge is that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech in front of Congress "with overwhelming applause." Only on Planet Chomsky would it be worse for the Prime Minister of an American ally openly to accept an invitation from the Speaker of the House to address Congress about an issue of mutual concern, than for Russian agents surreptitiously to try to manipulate voters by false social media campaigns, hacking emails, and other illegal actions. Chomsky simply fails to understand how democracy is supposed to work. Transparency and public accountability are the cornerstones of democracy. Prime Minister Netanyahu's very public opposition to liar-nObama's Iran Deal -- a deal opposed by most members of Congress and most Americans -- was just as consistent with democracy as Winston Churchill's public demands for the United States to help Great Britain fight the Nazis. American presidents, as well as Israeli prime ministers, seek to influence the policies and electoral choices made by their allies. That, too, is part of democracy. The United States has pressured Israel to stop building settlements, Israel has pressured the United States to be more aggressive in preventing Iran from developing a nuclear arsenal. This, too, is part of democracy...   https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/12799/noam-chomsky-russian-interference

{ frontpagemag.com } ~ The dummycrats-Democrat love affair with Hamas continues to grow... 69 House dummycrats-Dems have signed a letter calling for taxpayer cash for Gaza. The letter was partly written by Rep. Mark Pocan who had sponsored an anti-Israel forum by pro-BDS groups. Rep. Mark Pocan (D., Wis.) has been identified as the anonymous member of Congress who reserved official Capitol Hill space for an anti-Israel forum that is being organized by several organizations that support boycotts of the Jewish state, according to congressional sources who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon. Pocan had also met with a member of a notorious terrorist group. According to a newly published report in The Weekly Standard, five US Congressmen met last spring with Shawan Jabarin, who has alleged ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a recognized terrorist organization. Political non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are essential actors in this story, noted Jerusalem-based research institute NGO Monitor. Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI), Rep. Dan Kildee (D-MI), and Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-PA)’s trip to Ramallah and Jerusalem included a meeting with Jabarin, currently the General Director of the Palestinian NGO Al-Haq...

{ saraacarter.com } ~ President Trump’s decision on whether or not he will sit down with Special Counsel Robert Mueller is imminent, according to his attorney, Rudy Giuliani... Giuliani told Politico, “I think our decisions will get made in the next week to 10 days.” The Special Counsel would like to question Trump on obstruction-related topics as well as why he fired former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey.  Despite the fact that the President would like to sit down with Mueller, his attorney explains that the legal team is still considering declining the interview altogether. The former New York City mayor said the legal team is reviewing the latest proposal from Mueller, which would allow Trump to provide written answers to some questions. The proposal still has some obstruction-related questions, and the attorneys are opposed to any direct questions on obstruction. “We don’t want questioning on obstruction. They would have to concede that,” he told Politico. “It depends on how much they want his testimony on the other topic.” According to Giuliani, the decision deadline will help keep the Special Counsel on track for their report on obstruction, which is likely to be submitted by September...

Mueller team signals it may
not call its star witness against Manafort

{ americanthinker.com } ~ There are definite signs of big trouble in the prosecution of Paul Manafort for crimes unrelated to Russia and the Trump campaign... Yesterday saw the judge in the case, T.S. Ellis, rebuke the prosecution for seeking to incite class envy and jealousy among jurors. But for its part, the prosecution let slip a shocking revelation: that it may not even call to the stand its star witness against Manafort, his former business partner Rick Gates. Jeff Mordock reports in The Washington Times: The stunning disclosure came as prosecutor Uzo Asonye was questioning an FBI agent about a financial document apparently authored by Mr. Gates. Judge T.S. Ellis III interrupted the testimony to ask why the agent was discussing the memo and not its supposed author. "He may testify in this case, your honor, he may not," Mr. Asonye said. Journalists and others immediately scrambled out of the courtroom to the report the revelation, amusing Judge Ellis. The prosecutors may wish to shield Gates from cross-examination by defense attorneys, perhaps fearful that he could wreck their theories of guilt...  https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/08/mueller_team_signals_it_may_not_call_its_star_witness_against_manafort.html

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Senate dummycrats-Democrats, after weeks of refusing to meet with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh until a dispute over his record is resolved... have decided to sit down with him when they return from break this month. Senate Minority Leader Chuck clown-Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Dianne Fein-stein, D-Calif., will begin meeting with Kavanaugh when the Senate returns from a weeklong recess on Aug. 15. They will “demand the missing documents from him directly and question him about their content,” said a senior Senate dummycrats- Democratic side. They will also question him on healthcare, women’s freedom, presidential power, and other issues, the aide said. “Senate dummycrats-Democrats intend to demand that he call for and support the release of all of his files from his time in the Bush White House,” said the Senate dummycrats-Democratic aide. dummycrats-Democrats want Kavanaugh to ask the National Archives and former President George W. Bush to adhere to the same standard that was applied to Justice Elena Kagan’s confirmation.   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/senate-democrats-to-meet-with-brett-kavanaugh-in-august?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=browser&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_08/03/2018&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News

Progress Resisting  X1iRygMddTp7Q3HH2-Mb6VsnJyB-q92i37WonJ3Jx9RV2Dm1hPEHuX4qEqaqnfvUH1q-eo0Gv5zG9QIbt1piUhTLm_YloRyZTxuJi23CrRCCn25QxN1azvDSxmTAstQVTqfsGKpP1kJRNgZzRE_XkvhsMvm9HaUijOjXjpoAdw4=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450
by Caroline C. Lewis:  Immediately following the 2016 election, #resist became a battle cry for those opposed to the presidency of Donald Trump. Resistance has come in many forms: social media campaigns, protests, intimidation, congressional obstructionism, and in some cases violence no doubt brought on by Trump Derangement Syndrome. Those who participate in #resist claim they are helping to “save democracy.” Or, as Dennis Prager observed, it’s “as if they were American reincarnations of the French who fought real Nazis in World War II.”

             The question remains, “Are they?” The resistance made its first public appearance at the inauguration. Breaking windows, lighting cars on fire, and striking fear into those who attended the event, #resist certainly made the news. But does violence and vandalism “save democracy”?
               At the so-called Women’s March, angry attendees wore genitalia hats and costumes, while Madonna said she’d like to “blow up the White House.” Saving democracy? You can decide.
               Then came the congressional obstructions. As a bloc, Senate dummycrats-Democrats have slowed the confirmation process at an unprecedented level. A July 2018 report noted the striking differences between the confirmation of Trump’s nominations and the nominations of previous administrations. At a similar time in their presidencies, George H.W. Bush, liar-Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack liar-nObama had 80%, 84%, 72%, and 75% of their nominees confirmed, respectively. Trump has 57%.
               Consider the effect that slowing the confirmation process has on “democracy.” The democratic process gives power to representatives who vote on behalf of the people (which is why we’re a democratic republic, not a democracy). Obstruction challenges rather than supports this process.
               Obstructionism also negatively effects the people of this country. Having a government without the full staff of agency heads and other employees makes everything inefficient for the people. Additionally, obstruction hurts the American people by denying them qualified people in key positions.
               Consider the case of Andy Puzder, nominated for secretary of labor. The son of an immigrant, Puzder worked his way through law school and ultimately became CEO of CKE Restaurants, the parent company of Hardee’s and Carl’s Junior. He knows the value of hard work and understands how to unleash the productivity of the American worker.
               In his book, The Capitalist Comeback, Puzder recounts how protesters came to his front door, held a rally in his town, and drove a billboard through his neighborhood accusing him of abusing women. Perhaps the most alarming incident happened in the form of a mysterious package addressed to his wife. It contained white powder, a paper doll with a noose around its neck, and a pink piece of paper with the words “TRUMP.” Fortunately, no one was hurt.
               Sadly, Puzder withdrew his nomination after lack of support in the Senate. Did the protesting, intimidation, and obstruction “save” democracy?
               In any case, Rep. scumbag/mad-Maxine Waters advocated harassing Trump officials, meaning she evidently does think this wretched behavior “saves” democracy.
               The most recent blockade has been against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, a highly qualified jurist who sits on the DC Circuit Court. A graduate of Yale Law School, Kavanaugh also lectures at Harvard Law School (he was hired by Elena Kagan when she served as dean of the school). Lauded by Right and Left as a brilliant jurist, Judge Kavanaugh now faces baseless attacks on his character, his family, and his legal record. Isn’t obstructing a qualified jurist “endangering democracy”?
               Even the quintessential American sport, football, has been weaponized. The national anthem, long held as the symbol of unity for the American people, has been transformed into a political statement by those hoping to #resist. However, are these people resisting Trump, or American values? How does this “save democracy”?
               The resistance also calls for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Perhaps the most visible has been the Occupy ICE campaigns, such as the Portland campaign, which left the protest area with blocks of trash, bottles, and used needles. Does protesting and trashing property “save democracy”?
               Many people have begun to question the validity of #resist and the ideology of those who support it. The #WalkAway movement has revealed an awakening of more traditional liberals who do not subscribe to violence, bigotry, and hateful distain for those with whom they disagree.
               As Ronald Reagan stated, “You and I are told increasingly we have to choose between a left or right. Well I’d like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There’s only an up or down: [up] man’s old — old-aged dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism.”
               Reagan understood that dividing lines did not fall between Right or Left. Rather, they fell between Liberty and tyranny. Returning to this basic understanding of America helps to shed light on what #resist represents. The resistance blockades the American people, American values, and American patriotism. The resistance subscribes to violence, lewdness, and bigotry. While considering themselves “progressives,” resistance members regress downward to a divided nation and a country that cannot move forward. Ultimately, they resist unity, democracy, and forward-thinking policy. Ironically, they #resist progress.
