'Less hula, more moola': Kellyanne Conway says Pulosi
needs to cap Hawaii vacation to talk shutdown

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ President Trump is ready to deal with Democrats to end the partial government shutdown but won't do so until they come back from vacation... White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Sunday. "First the Democrats have to come back, House Speaker-designate Nancy Pulosi needs to come back from Hawaii, less hula, more moola for the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, funding our border security," Conway told "Fox News Sunday." "They need to come to the table and do their job. A fully functioning democracy demands that both parties come to together, and that the Congress and the executive branch work together." Reports surfaced Friday that Pulosi, D-Calif., was spending the New Year's holiday period at a Hawaiian resort rather than trying to reach an agreement on a funding package that could pass both the House and the Senate given congressional Democrats do not appear willing to provide any more than $1.6 for border security. The Washington Examiner  reached a person answering the media contact number for Pulosi's office who identified herself as "press desk" on Friday, and when asked about the vacation she said : "I'm not allowed to talk about that." She said she would pass on a message on to the deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill, who did not respond. "It's been many, many days since the House passed its $5.6 billion for border security," Conway said, adding Trump was ready for "a counteroffer." "It's not restricted to just a wall, it's what CBP says they need."...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/less-hula-more-moola-kellyanne-conway-says-pelosi-needs-to-cap-hawaii-vacation-to-talk-shutdown?utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_12/30/2018&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief

Did Trump Reveal A ‘Covert’ SEAL Team?

{checkyourfact.com} ~ An article published in Newsweek on Dec. 26 claimed that President Donald Trump had revealed a covert Navy Seal team with a video he posted to his Twitter account... “Donald Trump Twitter Account Video Reveals Covert U.S. Navy SEAL Deployment During Iraq Visit,” reads the headline. The unit and soldiers shown on Trump’s Twitter account are not “covert” operators, according to former American special force members and military experts. However, some still believe the photos and videos may pose a security threat. The photos and videos posted to Trump’s Twitter account were from his Wednesday surprise visit to Al Asad Air Base in Iraq. During his time at the base, Trump and First Lady Melania Trump posed for pictures with a group of what appeared to be special force operators wearing their combat gear, including vests and night vision goggles. Footage of the encounter later appeared on a video montage that was posted to the president’s Twitter account...

Joe Donnelly Echos McCaskill’s Warning: 
Dems Need To Lay Off Left-Wing Politics

{dailycaller.com} ~ Democratic Indiana Sen. Joe Donnelly said Saturday morning that Democrats need to avoid lurching to the left or risk alienating middle America... He’s the second outgoing Democratic lawmaker to issue such warning. Medicare-for-all and other traditionally left-wing ideas are too politically poisonous to sell in red states, the Indiana senator told CNN in a sit-down interview. Democrats need to do a better job of connecting with voters in middle America, Donnelly added. “We have not made enough of a connection … that the people of my state understand culturally, we Democrats want to make sure you succeed,” he said. Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders of Vermont has pushed hard to make climate change and Medicare-for-all a high dollar issue for Democrats. But Donnelly is warning Democrats to tread lightly. “When you talk ‘Medicare-for-all’ … you start losing the people in my state,” he noted. “When we start talking about, ‘Hey, we’re going to work together with the insurance companies to lower premiums,’ that’s what connects.” The ideal candidate to oppose President Donald Trump in 2020 is someone who can focus on issues like manufacturing and health care, said Donnelly, who lost his re-election bid in November to Republican Mike Braun... Donnelly should become a Republican.  https://dailycaller.com/2018/12/29/claire-mccaskill-ocasio-cortez-donnelly/?utm_medium=email

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Drug cocktails of cocaine and opioids have caused a surge in deaths since 2010, the Washington Examiner found in an analysis of mortality data... More than 10,100 people died from mixing the drugs in 2017, according to the analysis based on data from death certificates assembled into an online database by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The combination of cocaine and the powerful opioid fentanyl proved particularly deadly, killing 7,241 people. The latest figures show an increase in the number deaths caused by opioids and cocaine of nearly 76 percent since 2012. Furthermore, deaths from cocaine and crack alone, not mixed with opioids, neared the same levels in 2017 that they were about a decade prior, following what had been a leveling-off period. In 2017, 3,811 people died from cocaine or crack. Federal health officials have been closely watching drug death data, noting that while the opioid crisis involving prescription painkillers, heroin, and fentanyl has generated a lot of attention, many people are succumbing to other drugs or to mixtures of drugs...
Secretary Kirstjen M. Nielsen Announces 
Historic Action to Confront Illegal Immigration
by dhs.gov/news  

{dhs.gov/news} ~ Today, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen M. Nielsen announced historic action to confront the illegal immigration crisis facing the United States...
 Effective immediately, the United States will begin the process of invoking Section 235(b)(2)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Under the Migration Protection Protocols (MPP), individuals arriving in or entering the United States from Mexico—illegally or without proper documentation—may be returned to Mexico for the duration of their immigration proceedings. “Today we are announcing historic measures to bring the illegal immigration crisis under control,” said Secretary Nielsen.  “We will confront this crisis head on, uphold the rule of law, and strengthen our humanitarian commitments. Aliens trying to game the system to get into our country illegally will no longer be able to disappear into the United States, where many skip their court dates. Instead, they will wait for an immigration court decision while they are in Mexico. ‘Catch and release’ will be replaced with ‘catch and return.’ In doing so, we will reduce illegal migration by removing one of the key incentives that encourages people from taking the dangerous journey to the United States in the first place.  This will also allow us to focus more attention on those who are actually fleeing persecution. “Let me be clear:  we will undertake these steps consistent with all domestic and international legal obligations, including our humanitarian commitments. We have notified the Mexican government of our intended actions. In response, Mexico has made an independent determination that they will commit to implement essential measures on their side of the border. We expect affected migrants will receive humanitarian visas to stay on Mexican soil, the ability to apply for work, and other protections while they await a U.S. legal determination.”...

The Terrible Stink: 
FBI Treatment of General Flynn

{townhall.com} ~ No matter what your political leanings are, you should be highly concerned about how the FBI misled General Michael Flynn resulting in his taking a plea agreement with Special Prosecutor dirty cop-Robert Mueller for lying to the FBI. Thus, the general agreed to the fact that he committed a felony. All that is highly suspect, and every American citizen should be scared if the judge does not throw this out.

After General Flynn’s attorneys claimed that top-tier FBI personnel intentionally misled him about having legal representation present and the nature of this meeting with their personnel, U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan demanded documents from 
dirty cop-Mueller’s team regarding the charges against Flynn. These are the same documents that both the FBI and Justice Department have stonewalled Congress about for over a year. Unfortunately, dirty cop-Mueller was given the opportunity to file the documents under seal with the Judge which would hide the truth about the behavior of our government employees in the process. Judge Sullivan should release these documents as we the people of this country deserve to know what was done.

Further damning the behavior of the FBI, fired former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey was shown bragging during an interview about the way the Flynn meeting was set up without going through the White House counsel’s office as is the standard procedure. 
scumbag-Comey stated this was “something I probably wouldn't have done or maybe gotten awaywith in a more … organized administration.”  The fact that someone in scumbag-Comey’s position tried to “get away with” circumventing normal procedure to interview the incoming National Security Advisor should scare any U.S. citizen.   

The principle argument that is made about General Flynn’s lying is that he was a long-time General and Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency; thus, he should know not to lie to the FBI.  But let us look at the actual situation at hand.  And remember it was stated by FBI agents that they believe Flynn did not lie to them. This has since been twisted around.

We will never know why Flynn plead to lying.  He apparently did lie to Vice-President Pence.

The more important matter is we each have to decide whether it is more important that a citizen lied to the government or the government lied to the citizen. Particularly the heads of one of our law enforcement agencies intentional misleading a citizen than saying “You should have known better.” I fall on the side of the citizen here against the amorphous government.  

Interesting the same people who are defending the lying of the government in this situation seem to be the same people chafing at every statement President Trump makes that the MSM interprets as a lie.  

Flynn at the time was the incoming National Security Advisor. He was contacted by the No. 2 person at the FBI, Andrew McCabe. He was told McCabe apparently at the direction of 
scumbag-Comey was sending over two agents to talk to him, but there was no need to have an attorney present. That means they never told him this was to be an official FBI interview. Sounds to me like a casual conversation. If it were you or me and the FBI told us that we do not need an attorney present, that would be against the law. Any discussion would be thrown out of court. But neither of us is one of the most powerful people in the country. Flynn was a government employee at the time and he had special legal protections that you and I don’t have with our Miranda rights, but McCabe and scumbag-Comey ignored those also.

Flynn meets with these two FBI agents who are several levels lower than he is in the federal government. He has the highest level of security clearance in the country. Tell me what obligation does he have to tell these two pipsqueaks anything -- let alone the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? How did Flynn know whether these two FBI agents even had clearance to hear what he might say? By McCabe telling him he needed no attorney present, he was led to believe the conversation wasn’t part of an investigation or an official FBI interview. For some reason now, the FBI is justifying their behavior by saying any discussion with them is “official.”  

The federal government has used this “not lying to the FBI” excuse far too often to ruin people’s lives. Ask Scooter Libby or Martha Stewart. Neither of these people could be convicted on the underlying crimes but were convicted on the catchall charge of “lying to the FBI.” In fact, the disgusting Peter Fitzgerald, special prosecutor in the Valerie Plame Affair, knew that someone else had released the information that led to his appointment, but he pursued the indictment of Libby for lying anyway. Talk about abuse of power. Thankfully, Trump has pardoned him and the president should pardon Stewart also.  

To remind you what happens when the FBI does an “official” interview, they show up with two agents who take notes of the meeting. One of them then transcribes those notes. That becomes the official record of the interview. That may be an accurate record of what you said, it may be their view of what they think you said, or it may be what they decide to record as the official record. If the person is later interviewed and says something different than what is on the transcript it is considered lying to the FBI. That is the determination even if you say the exact same thing as before, but the FBI agents did not record it correctly.  

Lying to the FBI can also occur after they have combed through your records and they ask you about an email from two years prior that they do not provide you and you can’t possibly remember because like most people you don’t remember what you ate for lunch last week.  

dirty cop-Mueller and his minions defend this gross abuse of power as if they are omnipotent. They seem to forget our Constitution and where the true power rests in this country is with the people they deem as their inferiors. This is symptomatic of a federal government out of control that believes we are the lowly peasants while they mouth platitudes about protecting us.

This is gross abuse of power and an egregious affront to our manner of living. We need someone to put a stop to this behavior by our federal justice employees. What Judge Sullivan needs to do is throw out all the charges against Flynn and order the federal government to reimburse him for his legal costs. Unfortunately, that does not appear to be his focus at this time. But there is still time for redemption for Judge Sullivan.

You better hope he comes to his senses for your own sake. You could be next.
