Damn, is Bill Barr Corrupt Also? – DOJ Files New ‘Last Minute’ Motion to Keep scumbag-Comey 
FBI Memo Content Hidden From Public
by sundance
theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ In our opinion the content of the diary by former FBI Director scumbag-James Comey, as outlined in what has formally been called “The scumbag-Comey Memos”, is devastating to the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI... How do we know? Because the FBI is fighting like hell to keep even descriptions of the memos content from becoming public. In the background of what was The Mueller Investigation, there was a FOIA case where the FBI was fighting to stop the release of the scumbag-Comey memos. Within that courtroom fight Mueller’s lead FBI agent David Archey wrote a series of declarations to the court describing the content of the memos and arguing why they should be kept classified. The FOIA fight shifted. The plaintiffs argued for public release of the content of the FBI agent’s descriptions, now known as the “Archey Declarations”. After a lengthy back-and-forth legal contest, on June 7th Judge James E Boasberg agreed to allow the FBI to keep the scumbag-Comey memo content hidden, but instructed the DOJ/FBI to release the content of the Archey Declarations. Today, the U.S. Department of Justice -under Attorney General Bill Barr- while waiting until the last minute 28 days since prior ruling, filed a motion to block the release of the Archey Declarations, despite the June 7th court order...  https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/07/05/damn-is-bill-barr-corrupt-also-doj-files-new-last-minute-motion-to-keep-comey-fbi-memo-content-hidden-from-public/   

China Says No Trade Deal With The 
US Unless Trump Strips Tariffs
by AUDREY CONKLIN
dailycaller.com } ~ China said Thursday it will not reach a trade deal with the United States unless President Donald Trump rescinds the tariffs he has placed on the country... “The U.S. tariff hike on Chinese products was the trigger for bilateral trade frictions, so all the additional tariffs imposed since the beginning of the trade war in July 2018 must be scrapped once there is a deal,” Gao Feng, spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce, said at a regular media briefing, according to the South China Morning Post. “If the two sides are to reach a deal, all imposed tariffs must be removed,” Feng continued. “China’s attitude on that is clear and consistent. … Consultations must be conducted based on the principles of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit.” Feng’s comments come just six days after Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan, to discuss a potential trade deal that would involve lifting U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods. Trump said he would hold off on implementing further U.S. tariffs on $300 billion of Chinese goods while talks are ongoing but has not lifted the 25% tariffs currently imposed on $250 billion of Chinese imports. He told reporters at the summit that he and Xi “right back on track” and “U.S. companies can sell their equipment to Huawei” in an attempt to ease trade tension between the U.S. and China — a big win for the Chinese tech giant after being blacklisted by the U.S. government. Trump signed an executive order in May to ban U.S. Huawei  sales after the Department of Justice charged the company for bank fraud, wire fraud and violating Iran sanctions. Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei said the blacklisting move would cost the company $30 billion in revenue.

Vanessa Taylor, Muslim Social Justice Warrior
By ANDREW HARROD
jihadwatch.org } ~ Leftist activist Vanessa Taylor, who recently appeared at a June 26, Washington, DC, New York University (NYU) event against “Islamophobia,” is “black, queer, and Muslim,” according to an online description... Her prominence in like-minded circles only highlights that their understandings of these identities are in various ways disturbing, incoherent, and superficial. Taylor’s  claims to “know what it’s like to be a black Muslim woman” and to be a Muslim leader are suspect given her brief time among Muslim believers. This African-American Minneapolis, Minnesota, native has been a Muslim for fewer than three years since embracing “Black Muslim liberation theology” in 2016. In her online account, these views “boiled down to one simple question: Allah, how are we getting my niggas free?” Taylor quoted 1960s black firebrand Malcolm X for her inspiration: I am a Muslim, because it’s a religion that teaches you an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. It teaches you to respect everybody, and treat everybody right. But it also teaches you if someone steps on your toe, chop off their foot. And I carry my religious axe with me all the time. This founder in 2015 of a Black Lives Matter-inspired group in Minneapolis, the Black Liberation Project, correspondingly integrates her Islamic faith into a worldview of unrelenting racism and black victimization. She has written that “global anti-blackness is served up as the world’s main course,” while her previous writing reflected her NYU event comments that “Islamophobia is built on white supremacy, imperialism, anti-blackness.” She also declared there that “slavery is continuous” while “black people are denied the category of humanity” and “dehumanized and viewed closer to animals than they would be to the rest of the population.” Taylor even stated that “Islam and the United States cannot be compatible” given the “construction of this country” that historically enslaved African-Americans, many of whom, she claims, were Muslim. “Black American history,” she has  previously written, has a “foundation of an identity that ultimately began with the subjugation and oppression of African Muslims woven into the original drafts of this nation.” Alternatively, she has never analyzed whether her Islamic beliefs are compatible with her impassioned abolitionism. Often brutal Islamic slave trades lasted far longer and enslaved many more millions across disparate geographic areas than slavery within historically Christian societies such as the United States, which ultimately led global abolition efforts...

North Korea says US is 'hell-bent 
on hostile acts' despite peace talks
By Barnini Chakraborty
foxnews.com } ~ North Korea accused the Trump administration Wednesday of talking out of both sides of its mouth... saying the U.S. is publicly pushing the narrative of open dialogue between the two nations but is "more and more hell-bent" on hostile acts. North Korea's UN mission pointed to U.S. efforts to exert "overt pressure" and have the world's nations implement UN sanctions against Pyongyang, according to a press statement. In the statement, North Korea said the U.S. and 23 other countries sent a letter to the UN Security Council committee in charge of monitoring sanctions on North Korea and demanded urgent action "under the absurd pretext of 'excess in the amount of refined petroleum imported.'" The United States and the other countries have accused North Korea of violating UN sanctions by importing more than the annual limit of 500,000 barrels of refined petroleum products, which are key for the Asian country's economy. Last month, though, Russia and China blocked the sanctions committee from declaring that Pyongyang breached its annual import limit. Instead, North Korea's UN mission said that America, Britain, Germany and France circulated a joint letter to all U.N. member states on June 29 "calling for the repatriation of the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of North Korea) workers abroad, thus inciting an atmosphere of sanctions and pressure against the DPRK." North Korea claimed the act spoke "to the reality that the United States is practically more and more hell-bent on the hostile acts against the DPRK, though talking about the DPRK-U.S. dialogue," and claimed the letter was sent by the U.S. mission "under the instruction of the State Department, on the very same day when President Trump  proposed for the summit meeting." The mission claimed the letter was sent by the U.S. on the same day President Trump tweeted he would like to shake hands with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un at the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea. Kim accepted the invitation and on Sunday, Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to set foot in North Korea. The historic meeting culminated in the pair agreeing to resume talks aimed at getting North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons program. North Korea's state media described the meeting between Trump and their leader as "an amazing event." But there was nothing positive in Wednesday's statement from North Korea's UN mission, which made no mention of nuclear talks but instead focused on sanctions. The UN Security Council has imposed increasingly tough sanctions on North Korea in response to its nuclear bomb and ballistic missile tests. The sanctions are designed to cut off all North Korean exports, 90 percent of its trade, and disband its pool of workers sent abroad to earn hard currency.

Albania's president claims billionaire scumbag-George Soros is behind a 'conspiracy' to seize control of his country by interfering in local elections
By CHRIS DYER  
dailymail.co.uk } ~ Albania's president claimed his country avoided a plot by scumbag-George Soros to destabilised the country. Ilir Meta claimed the billionaire was behind a 'conspiracy' to seize control of the state... be interfering in local elections at the weekend. The Albanian president accused the investor and philanthropist of being responsible for a political scheme after the main opposition parties refused to take part in the country's local elections on Sunday. Meta's former party, the Socialist Movement for Integration, was also one of the parties that did not take part in the vote, according to regional newspaper Balkan Insight. The opposition threatened to disrupt the poll on Sunday, but did not do so, leaving Meta to declare that 'Albanians didn't fall prey to the provocations'. He had tried to cancel the elections, saying they would be undemocratic without the participation of Albania's opposition, which boycotted the vote. Stating that the municipal elections were a 'farce', Meta urged new polls to resolve the country's political crisis. The opposition has claimed that the low turnout - 21.6 per cent - showed that Sunday's elections were unconstitutional and illegal. Without offering any evidence, Meta described the alleged plot as 'a conspiracy aimed at totally capturing the state', claiming Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban warned him about scumbag-Soros in 2000. But Prime Minister Edi Rama of the ruling Socialist Party ordered the elections for mayors and local council members held Sunday, and his party is expected to receive the most votes by a significant margin...

America Takes an Antifa Beating

Michelle Malkin
 

I will not be in much of a celebratory mood this coming Independence Day.

Our borders have collapsed. Our educational system is a wreck. And our constitutionally protected freedoms of assembly, speech and the press are under siege in the streets and across the internet. The ability of patriots to warn, expose and combat the threats to our national sovereignty is eroding daily.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, my fellow Americans, but this is no time for a parade.

In Portland, my young journalist friend Andy Ngo was hospitalized over the weekend after a brutal assault at the hands of Antifa thugs who rule the streets and run the city. Ngo has been smeared as a “provocateur” and a “propagandist” for exposing the bloody violence and anarchy of far-left “resisters.” He has been doxxed and physically threatened by anti-Trump, open borders radicals menacing him online. On Saturday afternoon, armed only with his smartphone, hand-held GoPro, bodycam and reporter’s backpack, Ngo braved a mob of black-masked agitators purportedly marching against “hate.”

As they passed the county courthouse and sheriff’s office, the anarchists taunted Ngo by name and hurled cups with unknown substances at him. One violent attacker dressed like a ninja, donning black gloves with reinforced knuckles, punched Ngo in the eyes. Another black-cloaked punk kicked Ngo in the groin multiple times as others pelted him with liquids, sprays and eggs. During the melee, as police stood by, his electronic equipment was stolen. He sustained brain bleeding and wounds to his head, face and neck.

Ngo was not alone. Two Oregonians who had come to support conservative speakers at a downtown rally nearby were set upon by black-masked vigilantes. Adam Kelly was hit in the head with fists, nunchucks, a metal Hydro Flask and a crowbar. Two massive gashes on his skull required more than 25 staples. John Blum was also overrun by people in black masks, who aimed bear spray or mace at him when he, Kelly and two others tried to come to the aid of others being assaulted by Antifa. The elderly Blum had carried a baton to defend himself, but was blinded and incapacitated while being hit, punched and dragged across the street with blood pouring down his face.

Antifa’s apologists in the liberal press scoffed at the savagery, mocking Ngo as a “f—ing snowflake” and downplaying the gang ambushes harmless “milkshaking.” In total, medics treated eight people, including three police officers. “Three community members received treatment at area hospitals after they were assaulted with weapons. Two officers were pepper sprayed during the incident and were treated. Another officer was punched in the arm by a demonstrator and sustained (a) non-life-threatening injury. Another officer sustained a non-life-threatening head injury from a projectile,” the city blandly reported.

Democratic Mayor Ted Wheeler, a notorious social justice grandstander, spent Monday railing not against the barbarians who’ve hijacked the public square in his town, but against Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, who called out Wheeler’s history of stand-down orders. Portland Police Association president Daryl Turner amplified the critique, pleading with the City to “remove the handcuffs from our officers and let them stop the violence through strong and swift enforcement action.” Those handcuffs have endangered Portland’s citizens in multiple ways. Wheeler has declared Portland a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants, and himself a guardian against all foreign criminals evading deportation. In February, the city withdrew the police force from the Joint Terrorism Task Force’s partnership between the feds and local law enforcement — turning the Pacific Northwest metropolis into a safe space for jihad.

Will there be a federal investigation? Concerned citizens who can’t afford to wait have taken matters into their own hands. After just three days, more than 5,700 individuals have contributed a whopping $178,000 to a GoFundMe campaign I spearheaded to help with Andy Ngo’s security, medical and work costs. A separate fundraiser for Adam Kelly raised more than $11,000. On another front, internet sleuths are analyzing video to try and identify Antifa assailants — crowdsourcing the job Portland officials have failed to do.

But the social media battlegrounds, like the streets, are rigged against the law-abiding.

One Twitter user, LucetVeritas, who posted video of Portland violence this weekend, disappeared from the site on Monday. I was able to track her down. She told me that her tweet “had millions of impressions and almost 12,000 retweets. Within 24 hours, Twitter suspended my account offering no explanation. As an avid researcher, I have witnessed bias by employees of Twitter who were tied to Antifa accounts. Jack Dorsey himself has admitted his own conservative employees do not feel safe to express their opinions. Our First Amendment right of freedom of speech is in danger more now than ever before.”

Just minutes after finishing up my conversation with her, I learned that another researcher and investigator I’ve admired for years, Ann Corcoran, had her invaluable 12-year-old website, Refugee Resettlement Watch, terminated by WordPress this week. Poof. Gone.

With patriots being silenced all around me, it’s getting harder to feel patriotic. Who needs fireworks when our rights are going up in flames?  ~The Patriot Post
