{foxnews.com} ~ An administration official confirmed on Friday that during his meetings next week with Russian officials, National Security Adviser John Bolton... will inform Russia that the U.S. intends to pull out of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Treaty, also known as the INF. “Across two administrations, the United States and our allies have attempted to bring Russia back into full and verifiable compliance with INF," said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "Despite our objections, Russia continues to produce and field prohibited cruise missiles and has ignored calls for transparency.”The State Department has for some time held the position that the U.S. is in compliance with the treaty -- while Russia is not. The department's Bureau of Arms Control, Verification and Compliance said in December that "the Russian Federation's continuing violation and refusal to engage constructively is an impediment to improving bilateral relations and creates an untenable situation whereby the United States unilaterally complies with the INF treaty while the Russian Federation violates it." Earlier this month, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Russia's   deployment of nuclear-capable missiles in violation of an arms treaty was "untenable," and that without changes by Moscow, the U.S. would have to match that military  capability...  https://www.foxnews.com/world/us-poised-to-pull-out-of-nuclear-arms-treaty-with-moscow-source

Why are the DOJ and FBI hiding potentially exculpatory
information on George Papadopoulos?

{dailycaller.com} ~ Ahead of George Papadopoulos’s congressional testimony next week... Republican lawmakers are pressing the White House to declassify a small subset of documents related to the FBI’s investigation of the former Trump campaign aide. Republican lawmakers have hinted for months that the FBI had exculpatory information on Papadopoulos at the time that the bureau applied for its first a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Fox News first reported that Republicans are interested in less than a dozen pages of documents related to Papadopoulos, who is said to have been the catalyst for the FBI’s investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government. The request is substantially narrower than what GOP lawmakers initially wanted President Donald Trump to declassify. Trump ordered the declassification of a slew of documents from the FBI’s Russia probe in September, including 21 pages from a surveillance warrant obtained against Page. Trump rescinded the order on Sept. 21 after consulting with the Department of Justice and intelligence community officials...

Trump’s Cut At Least $23 Billion of 
Red Tape And He’s Just Starting

{lidblog.com} ~ People forget that tax cuts are not the only reason for the Trump economic revival... Another YUGE part of the recovery has been the cutting of government regulations and red tape which ties the hands of businesses and empties their wallets. That loss of money to these enterprises takes away funds better used for R&D, expansion, and employee salaries. A new look at his cuts reveals he has saved at least $23 billion so far. When he was campaigning for the White House Trump insisted that he wanted to eliminate as many needless regulations as possible to take a burden off the private sector and unleash our economy. He promised his administration would kill two regulations for every one added. And so far he has succeeded at implementing that promise. Not only succeeded but EXceeded. During his first year as POTUS, the Trump administration got rid of twenty-two regulations for everyone added.  So far in 2018 that ratio is twelve to one. And as it turns out, he has done more than any president in modern history. Cutting regulations is a claim that every president makes going onto office but none ever deliver. Even left-wing, business-hating, regulation-loving Barack scumbag/liar-nObama came to office with airy claims that he would cut needless regulations. Okay, it was  scumbag/liar-nObama so only his liberal lemmings really believed that he would really cut regulations. Indeed, as late as 2014  scumbag/liar-nObama was still making fake promises to cut red tape to help the economy. In the end, of course, he grew the regulatory state more than any president in history despite his constant lies that he would cut regulations...  https://lidblog.com/trumps-red-tape-cut/

Trump says Saudi confirmation of Jamal Khashoggi's
 death is 'a great first step'

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ President Trump said Friday evening that it was "a great first step" for Saudi Arabia to confirm that dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi died inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul... For more than two weeks, the Saudi government claimed the Washington Post columnist left the building unharmed on Oct. 2. As international pressure mounted, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed Friday he died following an unplanned fistfight. Trump said during a trip to Arizona he didn't feel lied to by Saudi officials, who previously told him and senior White House officials they didn't know what happened. After speaking with Saudi King Salman on Monday, for example, Trump said it was possible that "rogue killers" were responsible.The Trump administration has struggled to respond to the international crisis as evidence mounts suggesting Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman was involved. Members of his security detail arrived at the consulate around the time of Khashoggi's disappearance. Turkish media report that Khashoggi was murdered and dismembered by a 15-member Saudi hit squad armed with a bone saw. Khashoggi, a critic of the crown prince who was living in Virginia, entered the consulate to retrieve paperwork to marry his Turkish fiancee...
UK: Anjem Choudary Released from Prison
by Soeren Kern

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The Islamist firebrand preacher Anjem Choudary, described as Britain's "most dangerous extremist," has been released from prison... after serving only half of the five-and-a-half-year sentence he received in 2016 for pledging allegiance to the Islamic State. Prison authorities could not prevent his release: under British sentencing guidelines, prisoners — even those who are still a risk to the public — automatically become eligible for release under license (parole) after serving half their terms. Prime Minister Theresa May has downplayed  concerns over Choudary's release; British counter-terrorism authorities, however, say they are worried that he will re-exert influence on hundreds of followers upon his release. The cost to British taxpayers of keeping Choudary under surveillance is expected to exceed £2 million (€2.25 million; $2.6 million) a year, compared to the £50,000 (€57,000; $65,000) to keep him in prison. Choudary, a 51-year-old born in Britain to Pakistani immigrants, has actively been promoting Islamic fundamentalism in Britain for more than three decades. In 1986, Choudary and an exiled preacher, Omar Bakri Mohammed, founded an Islamist group, al-Muhajiroun (Arabic: The Emigrants), a network of Salafi jihadists determined to spread Sharia law across Britain...

#MeToo Faces Reality Check
_ugIa14noSAM8DO9-dcvkqDwu-4FwuM3fRGacB1GvqpNlx4QzzxXdLjjXLuKvQcsl9mvgpdRkm6Nb2GfyVrNxgEbVJA9qFOGDxw5nI0wT0ukHQdrwEMtWpUJigJ9VGZwcslsqfiIwnc5OaJHF2vgaEtNIR-b7Najp50ijCWbA-M=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450
by Jordan Candler:  This headline at The Economist suggests the incessant bluster that’s girdling #MeToo is taking its toll: “After a year of #MeToo, American opinion has shifted against victims.” That’s the takeaway from a YouGov poll in which the eagerness to impulsively “believe all women” who allege sexual wrongdoing is found to be fizzling.

             “In the first week of November 2017, YouGov polled 1,500 Americans about their attitudes on the matter, on behalf of The Economist,” according to the report. “In the final week of September 2018, it conducted a similar poll again. When it came to questions about the consequences of sexual assault and misconduct, there was a small but clear shift against victims.” By the numbers:
               The share of American adults responding that men who sexually harassed women at work 20 years ago should keep their jobs has risen from 28% to 36%. The proportion who think that women who complain about sexual harassment cause more problems than they solve has grown from 29% to 31%. And 18% of Americans now think that false accusations of sexual assault are a bigger problem than attacks that go unreported or unpunished, compared with 13% in November last year.
               Paradoxically, it’s females, not males, who are most responsible for these shifts. As the report adds: “Surprisingly, these changes in opinion against victims have been slightly stronger among women than men. Rather than breaking along gendered lines, the #MeToo divide increasingly appears to be a partisan one. On each of these three questions, the gap between Trump and liar-Clinton voters is at least six times greater than the one between genders.” The partisan divide is routine in this polarized political atmosphere — not to mention also quite ironic given the liar-Clintons’ licentious history — but the fact that women appear to be growing more hesitant to cast stones suggests more of them view the #MeToo movement as sophomoric and even deleterious given the rather significant lack of due process.
               Even The Economist deserves some scrutiny. It uses the word “victims” three times, including in the title — “American opinion has shifted against victims” — yet the more appropriate term would be “accusers.” A victim implies the existence of concrete and/or corroborative evidence. But that’s often times not the case. Just this week we learned that a male student is taking legal action against Pittsburgh’s Seneca Valley School District after some fellow female classmates accused him of crimes he didn’t commit. A tape exists in which the girls, who claimed they were sexually assaulted, concede it was all a hoax. The reason? In their own words, “I just don’t like him” and “[I] would do anything to get him expelled.”
               This is why we have due process — because the idea that “women almost never lie about rape is a lie.” Except even in the Pittsburgh example it came too late. The male student faced expulsion and even imprisonment before the tape exonerated him. Yet he can’t erase the harrowing experience, and his reputation is irreparably tarnished. Yet a growing chorus of leftists want due process abolished because it supposedly undermines the #MeToo movement. By the way, the accusers — or “victims,” as The Economist would prefer to call them — at the school remain unpunished.
               The concept of #MeToo absolutely should be applauded. The problem is that the movement itself has devolved into a no-questions-asked morass wherein presumptions are treated as facts. It has been used by celebrities and politicians alike to paint a broad brush that unfairly portrays the situation. In truth, false allegations are likely to be just as hellish as real ones. Finally, it’s worth pondering what this poll would look like in the aftermath of the Brett Kavanaugh witch hunt.
