The Bloom is Off the Ruse: Angela Merkel
Again Rejects Attempts to Enforce Paris Climate Treaty
by sundance{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ A month after U.S. President Trump called out the ridiculous globalist economic agenda and withdrew the U.S. from participating... German Chancellor Angela Merkel responded on August 20th, 2017, by removing her own country from the primary treaty demands. Five months later, January 2018, the anointed leader of far-left international political policy then withdrew entirely from the 2020 carbon emission reduction goal. All of these moves only further evidenced that ‘climate change’, vis-a-vis the Paris Treaty, was/is an insufferable economic control policy; a ruse; a scheme manufactured by global financial elites who seek power and leverage upon the sheeple proles. Merkel well understands that global emission control mechanisms, specifically carbon reduction schemes, are nothing more than policy tools to exfiltrate national wealth. Today, much to the chagrin of the barking moonbats and pontificating international elites, Chancellor Merkel refuses to change her position...
.Six States Win $839 Million Judgment
in scumbag/liar-nObamacare Lawsuit
by Leslie Eastman { legalinsurrection.com } ~ Despite the fact scumbag/liar-nObamacare hasn’t been “repealed and replaced” as promised by GOP members of the Congress... six states have just won a multi-state lawsuit against the tax policies implemented by scumbag/liar-nObamacare. Attorney General Ken Paxton today commended a U.S. District Court decision ordering the Internal Revenue Service to repay Texas and five other states more than $839 million because of an unlawful scumbag/liar-nObamacare tax on state Medicaid programs…. “ scumbag/liar-nObamacare is unconstitutional, plain and simple,” Attorney General Paxton said. “We all know that the feds cannot tax the states, and we’re proud to return this illegally collected money to the people of Texas.” In October 2015, Attorney General Paxton led a multistate lawsuit against the federal government over the scumbag/liar-nObama-era regulation that threatened to choke off Medicaid funds for the health needs of millions of Texas citizens unless Texas taxpayers paid a portion of the Health Insurance Providers Fee to help fund scumbag/liar-nObamacare...

announces new trade agreement with Mexico
by Alex Pappas and Andrew O'Reilly
{ foxnews.com } ~ President Trump on Monday said he plans to terminate the existing North American Free Trade Agreement... as he announced a new agreement between the United States and Mexico that he described as "one of the largest trade deals ever made." "I'll be terminating the existing deal and going into this deal," the president said in the Oval Office, calling it a "big day for trade." The United States Trade Representative called the U.S.-Mexico deal a “preliminary agreement in principle, subject to finalization and implementation.” But the president said Monday “we’ll see” if Canada can still be part of the trade pact, leaving open the possibility of separate agreements... http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/08/27/trump-says-hes-terminating-nafta-announces-new-trade-agreement-with-mexico.htmlSenator Arpaio?

Trump administration cuts more
than $200 million in aid to West Bank and Gaza
by Karen DeYoung
{ jewishworldreview.com } ~ The Trump administration has permanently cut more than $200 million in aid for the Palestinian West Bank and Gaza, saying the funds - already frozen for much of this year - will be "redirected" elsewhere.
The State Department said Friday that the decision followed a review "to ensure these funds are spent in accordance with U.S. national interests and provide value to the U.S. taxpayer." It follows an earlier decision to withhold millions in funding for UNWRA, the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency.
Although Europeans and other international organizations have picked up some of the slack, the U.S. cuts are likely to further weaken the Palestinian Authority that governs the West Bank, and Hamas, in Gaza, which the United States considers a terrorist organization.
Cuts in the UNWRA funding already have led to the laying-off of hundreds of Palestinian employees and cuts in services. As of the end of July, the United States had provided $60 million for the U.N. agency this year, compared with $360 million last year.
Cancellation of the bilateral funding, which pays for infrastructure and humanitarian assistance, democracy and education - much of it through nongovernment relief organizations - effectively means the United States is giving no money to the Palestinians. This year's budget for the aid was $251 million.
"This decision takes into account the challenges the international community faces in providing assistance in Gaza, where Hamas control endangers the lives of Gaza's citizens and degrades an already dire humanitarian and economic situation," the State Department said in a statement.
A promised Trump administration peace plan to resolve the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian dispute has been repeatedly delayed. Officials and diplomats who discussed the still-secret plan on the condition of anonymity said in late June that it was likely to be released "within weeks."
"We're going to let the situation on the ground determine when to do it rather than deciding on a deadline and force it," said one official, amid reports that the plan will largely concentrate on economic rather than political incentives for the Palestinians.
Critics have charged that the administration is working on behalf of Israel and trying to push the Palestinians into submission.
J Street, a liberal pro-Israel advocacy group, called the new cuts "a moral outrage and a major strategic blunder."
Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization Executive Committee, said the administration was using "cheap blackmail as a political tool. . . . There is no glory in constantly bullying and punishing a people under occupation," she said. "The U.S. administration has already demonstrated meanness of spirit in its collusion with the Israeli occupation and its theft of land and resources; now it is exercising economic meanness by punishing the Palestinian victims."
The administration's plan is being drawn up by Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's adviser and son-in-law, and Jason Greenblatt, a former Trump Organization lawyer named chief White House negotiator. Progress has been delayed by a months-long Palestinian boycott of talks with the Americans to protest Trump's recognition in December of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and the movement of the U.S. Embassy there from Tel Aviv.
The status of Jerusalem has long been considered one of the "final status" issues to be decided in negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.
In a speech to supporters Tuesday, Trump hailed the embassy move as one of the successes of his administration, accomplished after other presidents had failed to do it. As a result, he said without elaboration, "in the negotiation Israel will have to pay a higher price because they won a very big thing."
"Now it's off the table. There's nothing to negotiate," he said of Jerusalem. But the Palestinians will "get something very good because it's their turn next. Let's see what happens."
