McConnell Plans Vote on $4.5 Billion 
Bill to Address Humanitarian Crisis at Border

nationalreview.com } ~ Senator Mitch McConnell said Monday that he plans to hold a vote on a bill that would allocate $4.5 billion toward mitigating the humanitarian crisis at the U.S.–Mexico border... “I’m going to bring it up freestanding next week and see if they really aren’t interested in dealing with this mass of humanity that we have to take care of at the border,” the majority leader said in an interview with Fox News, referencing Democrats’ opposition to funding for President Trump’s border wall. “What’s the objection? This is not about the wall but about the humanitarian crisis.” The bill includes $3.3 billion to care for unaccompanied minors, improve shelters, and process new arrivals. Another $1.1 billion would go toward increasing the number of detention beds and funding more investigative work, both of which goals have sparked controversy among Democrats. “I think it’s safe to say the president is getting more cooperation out of Mexico than he is out of congressional Democrats,” McConnell said, adding that his colleagues across the aisle “reflexively” oppose any policy Trump supports... Mitch what about the homeless in America?

Why is the FEC Ignoring scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton's $84 Million Campaign Finance Scandal?

{realclearpolicy.com} ~ One year and two months. That’s how long it’s been since a formal complaint was filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), alleging scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign orchestrated an $84 million campaign finance scandal... the largest in U.S. history. Yet the FEC has done nothing to hold the scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign, dozens of Democratic officials, and hundreds of six-figure Democratic mega-donors accountable for breaking the law. Let’s start at the beginning. Last December, the Committee to Defend the President  filed a complaint with the FEC, centered on $84 million in allegedly excessive six-figure contributions laundered through the scumbag/liar-Hillary Victory Fund to dozens of Democratic state parties acting as straw men, over the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and into the hands of scumbag/liar-Clinton’s campaign. The straw man contributions were made by liberal elites from Hollywood to Wall Street and everywhere in between, including fashion icon Calvin Klein, “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane, the owners of New York City media giants and their landlords, and countless others. Don’t just take my word for it: Meticulously documenting the “unprecedented, massive, nationwide multi-million dollar conspiracy,” the 101-page complaint is built entirely on FEC reports filed by Democrats, memos authored by scumbag/liar-Clinton campaign manager Robbie Mook, and public statements from former DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile, among others. After the FEC refused to act on the complaint within a statutory 120-day timeframe, the Committee sued the agency to force action, claiming the FEC’s failure to act is “arbitrary, capricious, contrary to law, and an abuse of discretion.” This week, the Committee targeted the FEC again, pointing out how the agency has sat on the Committee’s initial complaint from last December. The Committee urges the FEC do its due diligence and ramp up its investigation — well over a year after the story first broke. Quite frankly, inaction is unacceptable. As President Trump’s election proved, the American people are fed up with political figures like the scumbag/liar-Clintons getting away with scandal after embarrassing scandal...  https://www.realclearpolicy.com/articles/2019/02/20/why_is_the_fec_ignoring_hillary_clintons_84_million_campaign_finance_scandal_111066.html

IPT Report Exposes ICNA's 
Radical Domestic Agenda

investigativeproject.org } ~ Most religious groups exist to provide fellowship for their members and help them with spiritual needs... The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) stands apart, both for its close ties to South Asian Islamist radicals, and for its overt and repeatedly stated ambitions to convert the world to Islam, a new report by the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) finds. ICNA has been described as "openly affiliated" with the Sunni revivalist movement Jamaat-e-Islami (JI). In addition to advancing a rigid interpretation of Islam, the Islamist movement has provided an ideological platform and recruiting base for South Asian terrorist groups. In many ways, ICNA's ideology echoes the JI, which was created in 1941 by Islamist ideologue Maulana Syed Abdul Ala Maududi in Lahore, Pakistan, which was then part of British India. Muslims, Maududi preached,  "wherever you are, in whichever country you live, you must strive to change the wrong basis of government, and seize all powers to the rule and make laws from those who do not fear God. You must also provide leadership to God's servants and conduct the affairs of their government in accordance with God's law, remaining fully conscious of living in God's presence and being accountable to Him in the Hereafter. The name of this striving is Jihad." ICNA, in turn, was set up to establish "Iqamat Deen," the Islamic system of life, in North America with the ultimate goal of founding a global Islamic state or Caliphate. "Wherever the Islamic movement succeeds to establish true Islamic societies, they will form coalitions and alliances. This will lead to the unity of the Ummah and step towards the reestablishment of Khilafah Caliphate," writes former ICNA President Mohammad Yunus in the August 2000 issue of the organization's flagship publication, The Message International...  https://www.investigativeproject.org/7952/ipt-report-exposes-icna-radical-domestic-agenda

Netanyahu urges world to reimpose 
sanctions if Iran ramps up nuclear enrichment

by timesofisrael.com:  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday urged the international community to immediately snap back sanctions on Iran if it goes ahead with its threat to enrich uranium... beyond the levels set by a landmark nuclear pact. Iran said earlier Monday that it would break the uranium stockpile limit set by the 2015 accord in 10 days, and warned that Iran could enrich uranium up to 20 percent — just a step away from weapons-grade levels. Netanyahu, one of the agreement’s most vociferous critics, said Israel was not surprised by the threat. “In the event it acts upon its threats and violates the nuclear deal, the international community must immediately impose the sanctions that were set previously. Israel will not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon,” he said at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem, during a ceremony that commemorated Israeli presidents and prime ministers who have passed away. The nuclear deal has steadily unraveled since the Trump administration pulled America out of the accord last year and re-imposed tough economic sanctions on Iran, deeply cutting into its sale of crude oil abroad and sending its economy into freefall. The Monday announcement by Behrouz Kamalvandi, timed for a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, put more pressure on Europe to come up with new terms for the nuclear deal. Europe has so far been unable to offer Iran a way around the US sanctions, and Netanyahu has urged other powers to follow the lead of the US and pull out of the deal as well. Kamalvandi made the announcement during a press conference with local journalists at Iran’s Arak heavy water facility that was carried live on Iranian state television...  https://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-urges-world-to-reimpose-sanctions-if-iran-ramps-up-nuclear-enrichment/?utm_source=The+Daily+Edition&utm_campaign=daily-edition-2019-06-17&utm_medium=email

Chinese dissidents are being executed for their organs, former hospital worker says

nypost.com } ~  Qiaozhi — we will call him George — still has nightmares. He was interning at China’s Shenyang Army General Hospital when he was drafted to be part of an organ-harvesting team... The prisoner was brought in, tied hand and foot, but very much alive. The army doctor in charge sliced him open from chest to belly button and exposed his two kidneys. “Cut the veins and arteries,” he told his shocked intern. George did as he was told. Blood spurted everywhere. The kidneys were placed in an organ-transplant container. Then the doctor ordered George to remove the man’s eyeballs. Hearing that, the dying prisoner gave him a look of sheer terror, and George froze. “I can’t do it,” he told the doctor, who then quickly scooped out the man’s eyeballs himself. George was so unnerved by what he had seen that he soon quit his job at the hospital and returned home. Later, afraid that he might be the next victim of China’s forced organ-transplant business, he fled to Canada and assumed a new identity. First-person accounts like George’s are understandably rare. The “transplant tourists” who come to China are naturally told nothing about the “donors” of their new heart, liver or kidney. And those who are executed for their organs tell no tales. Experts estimate that between 60,000 and 100,000 organs are transplanted annually in China. Multiply that number times the cost of a liver transplant $170,000 or a kidney transplant $130,000, and the result is an eye-popping $10 billion to 20 billion. And where do these hundreds of thousands of organs come from? George was told nothing about the background of the young man whose kidneys he fatally removed except that he was “under 18 and in good health.”...

HBO Drags Disney Star Into the Gutter

L. Brent Bozell & Tim Graham
 

The programmers at HBO pride themselves in setting the tone for the rest of television, especially when it comes to the absence of taste, from Bill Maher’s “Real Time” talk-show tantrums to Lena Dunham marching around undressed on “Girls.”

Every time HBO hits the bottom of the gutter, it finds a way to go deeper still. It is really headed into the gutter, and it knows it. A new HBO series about teenagers and sex and drugs called “Euphoria” is starting June 16, starring 22-year-old Zendaya, another former Disney Channel star desperately seeking to keep her career alive in the eyes of Hollywood casting agents and limiting herself to one name in the pursuit of that.

The show’s creator, Sam Levinson, gleefully predicted to The Hollywood Reporter, “There are going to be parents who are going to be totally f—ing freaked out.”

This is how The Hollywood Reporter began its story: “Thirty penises in one episode? Zendaya’s new series, filled with graphic nudity, violence and drug use among young people, is so extreme that one star quit mid-shoot, but the network hopes that authenticity will help the show break through.”

Ah, “authenticity.” That’s the word HBO uses when it makes a wildly over-the-top series. Levinson claimed the point of the show is to “expose an adult audience to the challenges of growing up in 2019,” and that many of the scenes come directly from Levinson’s life. “It may seem boundary-pushing, and the idea of putting them on TV may be, but somebody lived them.” Levinson, born in 1985, is the son of top Tinseltown filmmaker Barry Levinson.

Many “somebodies” have navigated through dramatically sinful lives, but that doesn’t mean they’re all going to be exploited by HBO. If the company just loves “authenticity” for its own sake, can we expect it to run “Gosnell” on its channels, or “Unplanned”? Or is the authentic ugliness of the abortion industry just too tawdry?

Casey Bloys, HBO programming president, claimed the show is “not sensational to be sensational.” There is zero authenticity in that claim.

Levinson says HBO executives have been supportive, but they did push back on two scenes. He wanted to start the whole series with a camera shot focusing on the birth of Zendaya’s character that came from “behind a doctor and went straight between her mother’s legs and into her vagina,” the Reporter says. In the actual version, her character narrates over a clip of herself in utero, saying, “I was repeatedly crushed over and over by the cruel cervix of my mother.”

The network also protested a scene in the second episode featuring dozens of naked high school boys. How responsible. “What made it to air is a trimmed-down version of the original shot, which included ‘like, 80 more’ penises,” the Reporter says. It never ceases to amaze that HBO is now the first destination for new “Sesame Street” programming. The executives cravenly cashed in.

Parents Television Council President Tim Winter made the most salient point to the Hollywood Reporter. This show “appears to be overtly, intentionally marketing extremely graphic adult content — sex, violence, profanity and drug use — to teens and preteens.”

HBO makes its way into millions of American homes, and not just on the television anymore. Children can easily stream a perverted show like this on their laptops or iPads or even cellphones. Parents should be alerted that this smutty show will be bubbling up from the bottom of the sewer.

Until HBO goes deeper still.  ~The Patriot Post
