Former DEA Agent Says Bruce Ohr Had Other Priorities 
{ rickwells.us } ~ A former agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Agency’s Special Operations Division called into the Mark Levin Show Thursday night... and wondered if Bruce Ohr prioritized other issues over his previous job as director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force. The agent, Derek Maltz, detailed to Levin how illicit American businesses were funneling money to terrorist organizations, and that his suspicion was Ohr either sidelined or ignored his responsibility to track these businesses in order to pursue a political agenda against the Donald Trump campaign. Maltz called into Levin’s show and explained to the radio host he was the head of his division when there was an initiative against Hezbollah in their cocaine and money laundering activities. “Major cocaine loads leaving Colombia South America going into West Africa. Cocaine is sold millions and millions of dollars are collected Middle Eastern couriers transporting the cash back to Beiruit, Lebanon. Hezbollah militants protecting the money going into the banks. Money transfers back to America. Going into bank accounts,” Maltz said...  https://rickwells.us/former-agent-bruce-ohr-priorities/

Judge Hears Testimony in Texas-Led DACA Case

{ numbersusa.com } ~ Texas District Judge Andrew Hanen heard arguments in a lawsuit brought by 7 states seeking to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program... The plaintiff states largely relied on arguments that persuaded Hanen to block implementation of the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) program and extended DACA program in 2015. The states asked Hanen for a nationwide injunction but he did not issue a ruling yesterday. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is leading the state coalition, said "DACA is unconstitutional because it rewrote federal law over the objections of Congress…It represents a dangerous view of executive power, which would allow the president to unilaterally set aside any duly enacted law. It cannot be allowed to stand without doing serious harm to our Constitution. This lawsuit is vital to restoring the rule of law to our immigration system." The Trump Administration is not defending DACA, but Hanen allowed illegal-alien advocates and the State of New Jersey to assume that role. The Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF), which is leading the defense, said the states don’t have standing to sue because DACA had been operating for six years before they lodged a lawsuit. “Any assertion of irreparable damages is necessarily weak with regards to a program that has been implemented in Texas for six years, as throughout the country,” MALDEF said. Hanen said he would postpone ruling on DACA’s constitutionality, and just consider the plaintiff’s request for an injunction. He asked both sides to file briefs by Monday answering the questions he raised during the hearing, including whether the liar-nObama Administration violated the Administrative Procedures Act in creating DACA...liar-nObama did violated the law by EO.

After Special Counsel Complains

{ saraacarter.com } ~ The fiery judge presiding over the special counsel’s tax fraud case against former Trump campaign Chairman Paul Manafort suddenly delayed new testimony Friday... following a strong “push back” from Mueller’s team. “Judge T.S. Ellis III mysteriously delayed testimony Friday in the case of ex-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, pushing off the day’s proceedings for hours after prosecutors once again complained about his criticism of them,” writes Fox News. “It’s not clear if the delay is connected to the complaint filed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team.” Robert Mueller’s legal team filed a motion against Ellis Friday morning, claiming the judge was “unfairly criticizing them” in front of the jury, adding it may impact their final decision.   https://saraacarter.com/manafort-judge-delays-testimony-after-special-counsel-complains/

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Representative Mark Meadows has announced on twitter that DOJ official Bruce Ohr has been scheduled to testify on August 28th, this month... According to additional details provided to the Daily Caller, Ohr will testify to the same joint committee that previously heard testimony from Lisa Page. The joint committee is a blend of House Oversight Trey Gowdy, Chairman and House Judiciary Bob Goodlatte, Chairman. If the same process is used, Chairman Goodlatte will determine which committee members will conduct the questioning. The August 28th Bruce Ohr testimony will be closed; however, it is possible another open hearing may be held at another date. In recent days a great deal of information has surfaced from communication between Bruce Ohr and participants in the 2016 FBI/DOJ and Fusion GPS operation against candidate Donald Trump.   https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/08/10/bruce-ohr-scheduled-to-testify-to-joint-congressional-committee-august-28th/

Maria Bartiromo Talks U.S. Bilateral Trade With Mexico
by sundance

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Methinks Maria Bartiromo is the only media person who has caught on to “the secret“... Within her wording and presentation today, inside this interview Fox News Maria Bartiromo hints toward her understanding of the Trump trade strategy as it pertains to Mexico, Canada and ::cough:: NAFTA. After the end of Round #6 January 2018, it was obvious to POTUS Trump a NAFTA renegotiated deal was impossible. In March, 2018, Team Trump stealthily began moving in a different direction. In June,2018, Canada accidentally made the admission there were no ongoing talks between the U.S. and Canada. The reasoning is simple yet stunning...   https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/08/12/sunday-talks-maria-bartiromo-talks-u-s-bilateral-trade-with-mexico/.

Analysis: Kamala Harris' Backwards 
Attack on 'Identity Politics'

{ townhall.com } ~ Late last week, the dummycrats-Democratic Party's far-left base gathered in New Orleans for the annual 'Netroots Nation' conference. A number of rumored presidential aspirants were in attendance, including Senators scumbag-Cory "complicit in evil" Booker, Elizabeth dinky-Warren, and Kamala Harris. I'll circle back to dinky-Warren, but let's begin with a notable commentary offered by the junior Senator from California. During her remarks from the dais, Sen. Harris took aim at the term "identity politics," ripping it as a formulation designed to divide and silence:
 
 
To further emphasize her theme, Harris fired off a number of subsequent tweets vowing not to be silent on various issues:

Let's set aside the reality that nobody can seriously claim the Left is being silent about much of anything these days, let alone the topics she invokes. What strikes me as interesting is not just her apparent effort to "problematic-ize" the term 'identity politics' itself, but also her profound twisting of the concept. In a monologue on my radio show this week, I picked apart her inverted definition, explaining why her paean to intersectionality is a demagogic distortion of reality.  My main points:

(1) Conservatives' problem with the Left's regime of identity enforcement stems from the cynical sorting of human beings into little ideologically-determinative boxes, based on immutable characteristics such as race, sex, sexuality, etc.  We shouldn't take issue with substantive debates that include serious questions and data about how policies impact certain populations. We also shouldn't begrudge members of certain identity groups weighing their collective well-being as they consider various political proposals and candidates. But we should roundly reject the insistence that individuals ought to think or vote a certain way based on their assigned identity groups.

(2) The other major objection to identity politics -- as outlined at length in my book -- is the lazy smears that frequently accompany disagreement with the Left's agenda. If you're for voter ID laws, you're racist. If you're pro-life you're sexist. If you're for religious liberty, you're homophobic. If you aren't sure whether this is fair, you're transphobic. If you raise issues like this or this, you're Islamophobic. And if you prefer tighter immigration restrictions, you're a nativist or xenophobe. These are rhetorical attacks used to short-circuit actual debate. Yes, real bigotry does exist, but tarring large groups of voters by impugning their motives is standard operating procedure in our politics today.  It's toxic.

In essence, Harris' complaints feel like projection. It's the Left that too often exploits identity to "divide and distract" from substance, or to deflect from or disqualify good-faith disagreement. And it's the Left that too often seizes on identity politics as a cudgel with which to attack ideological opponents and bully them into silence. Sen. Harris and friends are more than welcome to speak out on whatever issues they see fit; they are not welcome to use identity-rooted grievances and scorecards to stifle serious discussion or to demand conformity. Here's the audio of my radio segment advancing these arguments in detail:
AUDIO:  https://radio.foxnews.com/2018/08/06/guy-benson-on-sen-kamala-harris-blasting-critics-of-identity-politics/

Seemingly determined to reinforce my point, Sen. dinky-Warren also made a number of fiery statements in New Orleans, playing to various constituencies as she reportedly reconsiders her decision not to seek the presidency. What may have changed her mind?  Two words, she says: "Donald Trump". In assailing the politics of division -- a topic on which she's quite familiar -- she rattled off the typical list of 'isms' and 'phobias:'
"According to Trump, the problem is other working people - people who are black or brown, people who are born somewhere else, people who don’t worship the same, talk the same, or dress the same as Trump and his buddies. And it comes in all sorts of flavors - racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia. It comes in all sorts of forms - nasty personal attacks, trolling on Twitter, winking at white supremacists," dinky-Warren said.

She later declared the entire US criminal justice system -- all of it -- to be "racist:

Sen. Elizabeth dinky-Warren on Friday called the criminal justice system “racist … front to back,” while further hinting at a potential presidential run. “Let’s just start with the hard truth about our criminal justice system,” dinky-Warren said at a forum at Dillard University in New Orleans. “It’s racist … I mean all the way. I mean front to back.”

Even if you favor criminal justice reform, as I do, this is dreadful, broad-brush demagoguery and demonization that slanders countless Americans who work within the current system. This type of comment is harmful no matter who is spouting it, but it's uniquely galling coming from a woman who built and advanced her career upon a shameless racial fraud. When it comes to "privilege checking" and "cultural appropriation," hot concepts within the realm of obsessive identity politics, dinky-Warren is an egregious violator on both fronts. It will be interesting to see what Harris and others may have to say about that if and when they find themselves competing with dinky-Warren for their party's presidential nomination.
