Secretary Pompeo Destroys 
Pompous Democrat Smearing Trump in Hearings

{ rickwells.us } ~ Globalist, anti-American political hack, Senator Tom “You Dull” Udall (D-NM) bit off much more than he could chew... in picking fights with Secretary of State Pompeo by asking  insulting, demeaning questions which were little more than a false pretext upon which to make unfounded accusations against President Trump. Udall first crafted a protective bubble around himself in concealing charges of making decision that benefit Trump properties in a matter related to Chinese telecommunications company ZTE. Udall uses the customary vague assertion that Democrats are so fond of in making their unfounded claims. He says, “Many observers have found these events and their timing strange, I would say very strange, as you know the Trump organization owns assets around the world, in India, the Middle East, Panama and it pursued a project in Russia well into 2016. Members of Congress and the executive branch are under an ethical duty to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest.”...You dems stop hating people whom you disagree with and grew up.

Chairman Xi Jinping Responds: North Korea says it is still 
willing to talk with US “at any time” and in “any format”

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ The MSM is insufferable in their intentional disconnect of the dynamic behind the North Korean denuclearization talks... It was Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping who brought the DPRK to the table; and it was Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping who pushed North Korea away from the table in their manipulative efforts to extract trade concessions. Every other review of the geopolitical gamesmanship is chaff and countermeasures. U.S. President Trump is holding massive steel and aluminum tariffs as an economic sword of Damocles over the head of Beijing during ongoing trade negotiations. Chairman Xi sought to increase his own leverage by pulling North Korea’s Chairman Kim Jong-un away from bilateral peace and denuclearization talks. However, POTUS Trump responded to the Beijing power-play by announcing a Section 232 trade review over the entire auto-industry; and then bolstered his counter-move by cancelling talks with Kim Jong-un. Red Dragon didn’t expect President Trump to respond so effectively to the customary schemes notoriously famous in any Chinese negotiation encounter. I really believe Chairman Xi underestimates how adept POTUS Trump is at cutting through the obfuscation and obtuse moves...   https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/05/24/chairman-xi-jinping-responds-north-korea-says-it-is-still-willing-to-talk-with-us-at-any-time-and-in-any-format/

Congressional Measure to Recognize 
Israeli Sovereignty Over Golan Heights Killed

{ freebeacon.com } ~ A congressional resolution to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the contested Golan Heights region in Syria met a quick demise this week... after House GOP leadership quietly put the kibosh on the measure following what sources allege was opposition from top Republican leaders and some in Trump administration, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. While White House officials familiar with the matter deny playing any role in opposing the measure, it was nixed earlier this week by House leadership, which refused to allow the historic measure to come up for a vote. The resolution, authored by Rep. Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.), would have represented a historic step towards the United States formally recognizing Israeli control over the Golan Heights territory, which rests on Israel's border with Syria and was annexed by the Jewish state in 1981. The United States has declined for decades to take a position of the status of this territory, but lawmakers backing the amendment felt the time was right for this effort following the Trump administration's successful bid to relocate the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Israel's capital city of Jerusalem...

Stefan Halper is obviously a bigger scandal 
than the media want to admit

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ The swiftness with which the media have brushed aside Stefan Halper’s role in the Russia investigation... should be a sign that he’s certainly more important than they’re admitting. Halper was identified by the Daily Caller's Chuck Ross last weekend as the professor who worked in some still-unknown capacity to inform the FBI on the Trump campaign in 2016 as part of the agency’s probe of Russia’s election meddling. Halper met with at least three of then-candidate Donald Trump’s campaign advisers, and records show he was  paid nearly $300,000 by the Defense Department in September 2016. No one in the Trump campaign knew that Halper was a longtime source of information for the FBI, thus he was effectively acting as a spy. National news outlets are refusing to make that connection or are attempting to minimize Halper as a factor altogether...

{ freebeacon.com } ~ The FBI is warning that Iranian hackers could conduct new cyber attacks on American businesses and government networks... in response to the Trump administration's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal. "The FBI assesses foreign cyber actors operating in the Islamic Republic of Iran could potentially use a range of computer network operations—from scanning networks for potential vulnerabilities to data deletion attacks—against U.S.-based networks in response to the U.S. government’s withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)," the FBI said in a cyber alert to U.S. businesses. Previous Iranian cyber attacks were carried out against targets in the United States in retaliation for "perceived slights against the regime," the May 22 notice states...  http://freebeacon.com/national-security/fbi-iran-launch-new-cyber-attacks/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=30034f635f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_05_24_09_04_COPY_57&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-30034f635f-45611665

Wynton Marsalis on What's 'More Damaging Than a Statue' 
ZfrLHo1xiNWpuJmwLs1hXW5T7kNUCIHzVdK_tX-gwHYSuX--4pAnYT1GTwhCI6oZTnfMopTrq_DWmzVJQzzJQ20Ly6qJrJuCebIEexdD34yEHT8VVpW5orw-vKq-2_mi13-Rd6Y0mnJnCpWcI2JmXSn7FmcyoEEFCpWb10z-HUY=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450by Jordan Candler:  Kanye West isn’t the only black celebrity to blow leftist minds as of late. Prodigious jazz musician Wynton Marsalis is yet another iconic minority to publicly break with the Democrat Party on at least one aspect of what harms us culturally. For the record, Marsalis isn’t entirely unconventional when it comes to enforcing the Left’s narrative on supposed culture ills: He helped purge Confederate statues from his hometown of New Orleans. Nevertheless, he recently reiterated what he rightly believes contributes to the plight of minorities.

             As he explained to The Washington Post: “I started saying in 1985 I don’t think we should have … music talking about n—rs and b—es and hoes. It had no impact. I’ve said it. I’ve repeated it. I still repeat it. To me that’s more damaging than a statue of Robert E. Lee.” He added, “There’s more n—rs in [raunchy music] than there is in Robert E. Lee’s statue.”
               Marsalis is absolutely right, though we’d contend that Robert E. Lee was in fact a man of honor. The old adage about reaping what we sow is applicable in every aspect of life, and most Americans spend hours a day listening to music. Our youth in particular listen to profanity- and garbage-laden lyrics that are especially pervasive in rap and hip-hop. Regarding the latter, Marsalis once said: “Listen, I don’t have to attack hip-hop. Hip-hop attacks itself.” And that’s where Kanye West could still learn a thing or two. For example, two songs in which he is featured are titled “N—rs in Paris” and “That’s My B—h.” Garbage in, garbage out.
               Music professor Ethan Hein believes just the opposite. In a recent article, he opines, “Music educators teach what they learned, and what they learned is likely to be the musical expression of old-world whiteness.” He endorses the view that “musical standards of classically trained university faculty are unsurprisingly oriented toward the classical tradition, [and] that they are ‘listening for affirmations of Whiteness.’” After all, “While overt racism is no longer socially acceptable, the institutional structures and vocabulary terms created during a racist era survive intact into the present.”
               Condemning raunchy lyrics is hardly what we would call “affirmations of Whiteness.” It’s simply the decent thing to do. Arguing that it’s “so important that music education embrace hip-hop,” as Professor Hein does, because America must “re-orient the mission, values and goals of music education away from the preservation of whiteness” lends credence to Marsalis’s point that repulsive lyrics are “more damaging than a statue of Robert E. Lee.” If you doubt that, ask yourself this: Is a criminal or pervert more likely to embrace hip-hop or classical music?
