Levin - You Don't Have a Right to a Security Clearance
{ rickwells.us } ~ Levin’s remarks stem from a statement on CNN from former Director of National Intelligence scumbag-James Clapper... who suggested Trump’s act of pulling security clearances was an infringement of First Amendment rights. He said to Former CIA Director scumbag-James Clapper: The larger issue here, to me, has, throughout, has been infringement on First Amendment rights. Levin said, So here’s my question: how do you become Director of National Intelligence like scumbag-James (Jimmy) Clapper and not have any comprehension of what the First Amendment says? Nobody’s interfering with Mr. scumbag-Clapper’s free speech rights. He’s on CNN. He’s talking right now. Is anybody stopping him? No. You don’t have a right to a security clearance. I had to give mine up when I left the Reagan administration. I had a top security clearance. I was Chief of Staff to the Attorney General of the United States. I knew who we were wiretapping in most instances. I knew everything. Well, not everything, everything I was told, some of the FISA warrants, some of the probation, parole requests, that is pardoning requests, some of the ongoing intelligence investigations involving the FBI and so on. https://rickwells.us/levin-security-clearance/

Trey Gowdy: Peter Strzok is the Only Person Responsible
For His Firing and He Completely Earned It
by Katie Pavlich{ townhall.com } ~ In the aftermath of his firing, FBI agent Peter Strzok is claiming his forced departure from the agency is purely political... and his lawyer argues the termination came as a surprise. "We had an agreement with the FBI's Office for Professional Responsibility, which is the main caretaker for internal discipline, that he would get a 60-day suspension and a demotion. At the last minute, that was countermanded by FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich and he was fired. So yeah, we were surprised," Strzok's attorney told CNN. "We think that they had the power, but not the right to do it," he continued. "In this case, it is hard to reach any conclusion other than that the decision to reverse the OPR's decision was motivated at least largely by politics." Further Strzok's attorney accused House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy of playing a major role in his client's firing...Its alway the case, they blame others for their firing.

America's Lengthening Enemies List
by PATRICK J. BUCHANAN
{ wnd.com } ~ Friday, deep into the 17th year of America’s longest war, Taliban forces overran Ghazni, a provincial capital that sits on the highway from Kabul to Kandahar.
The ferocity of the Taliban offensive brought U.S. advisers along with U.S. air power, including a B-1 bomber, into the battle.
“As the casualty toll in Ghazni appeared to soar on Sunday,” the Wall Street Journal reported, “hospitals were spilling over with dead bodies, corpses lay in Ghazni’s streets, and gunfire and shelling were preventing relatives from reaching cemeteries to bury their dead.”
In Yemen Monday, a funeral was held in the town square of Saada for 40 children massacred in an air strike on a school bus by Saudis or the UAE, using U.S.-provided planes and bombs.
“A crime by America and its allies against the children of Yemen,” said a Houthi rebel leader.
Yemen is among the worst humanitarian situations in the world, and in creating that human-rights tragedy, America has played an indispensable role.
The U.S. also has 2,000 troops in Syria. Our control, with our Kurd allies, of that quadrant of Syria east of the Euphrates is almost certain to bring us into eventual conflict with a régime and army insisting that we get out of their country.
As for our relations with Turkey, they have never been worse.
President Erdogan regards our Kurd allies in Syria as collaborators of his own Kurdish-terrorist PKK. He sees us as providing sanctuary for exile cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom Erdogan says was behind the attempted coup in 2016 in which he and his family were targeted for assassination.
Last week, when the Turkish currency, the lira, went into a tailspin, President Trump piled on, ratcheting up U.S. tariffs on Turkish aluminum and steel. If the lira collapses and Turkey cannot meet its debt obligations, Erdogan will lay the blame at the feet of the Americans and Trump.

That the sanctions are biting is undeniable. Like the Turkish lira and Iranian rial, the Russian ruble has been falling and the Russian people are feeling the pain.
Last week also, a U.S. Poseidon reconnaissance plane, observing China’s construction of militarized islets in the South China Sea, was told to “leave immediately and keep out.”
China claims the sea as its national territory.
And North Korea’s Kim Jong Un apparently intends to hold onto his arsenal of nuclear weapons.
“We’re waiting for the North Koreans to begin the process of denuclearization, which they committed to in Singapore and which they’ve not yet done,” John Bolton told CNN last week.
A list of America’s adversaries here would contain the Taliban, the Houthis of Yemen, Bashar Assad of Syria, Erdogan’s Turkey, Iran, North Korea, Russia and China – a pretty full plate.
Are we prepared to see these confrontations through, to assure the capitulation of our adversaries? What do we do if they continue to defy us?
And if it comes to a fight, how many allies will we have in the battles and wars that follow?
Was this the foreign policy America voted for?
