{ spectator.org } ~ Everyone’s favorite dummycrats-Democratic socialite continues to entertain, and not merely because of her unique views about how the world works beyond Westchester, NY... She has kept us in stitches with her claim that Medicare-for-All will save the nation zillions in funeral expenses, her weird belief that questions about the costs of M4A are merely GOP talking points, and her unique theory about the SCOTUS ruling in NFIB v. Sebelius. Now she has us slapping our thighs with comical excuses for refusing to participate in a debate about the virtues of socialism versus those of capitalism with black conservative Candace Owens. Shortly following her refusal to accept a debate challenge from Ben Shapiro, claiming that it was somehow sexist, Candace Owens called out commie-Ocasio-Cortez on that excuse by offering to donate $20,000 to a charity of the latter’s choice if she would debate capitalism vs. socialism. The self-styled “girl from the Bronx” has declined, but Owens isn’t letting her off the hook: “And what exactly was your excuse for having turned down the debate with me? Can’t wrap that one up in fake-feminism.” Not that her excuse is really a secret. commie-Ocasio-Cortez knows little of socialism’s intellectual foundation, such as it was, and less about capitalism. Gone are the days when serious, if hopelessly misguided, people like Michael Harrington could debate socialism in a civil fashion with heavyweight conservatives like William F. Buckley. All of Harrington’s claims have now been shown by history to be false, leaving the left with a catalogue of empty slogans parroted by “progressives” who couldn’t stay in the ring with Buckley for 30 seconds. This is why the American left has now reverted to the suppression of free speech, the verbal abuse of its opponents, and outright violence. History hasn’t been kind to socialism, and honest debate will not be kind to commie-Ocasio-Cortez...

Mueller's Star Witness, George Nader:
A Convicted Child Rapist & Child Porn Addict

{ freedomoutpost.com } ~ Robert Mueller's star witness in his liar-Clinton/scumbag/liar-nObama initiated the quest to find dirt on president Trump turns out to be a convicted pedophile... News of this will not be found on the main propaganda outlets who masquerade as news media, but facts are facts. George Nader, a key witness in the Mueller Russia Probe apparently has 2 convictions in sex with minors. In the first conviction, Nader received a six-month sentence from a Federal court in Northern Virginia in 1991 on a felony charge of transporting sexually explicit materials in foreign commerce. Politico obtained this information under the Freedom of Information Act. Presiding Judge at the time Claude Hilton also imposed a $2,000 fine on Nader at that time. The second conviction on child porn and actual sex with children came in 2003, where Nader was convicted on ten cases of sexually abusing minors and was sentenced to a one-year prison term by Prague's Municipal Court. So, Mueller tries to sneak a convicted child molester and child porn addict in as a star witness to testify, hoping to dig up dirt on President Trump in finding what he needs to finally get the president impeached. However, with main witnesses like Nader, President Trump has nothing to worry about. Nader's credibility is so low, nothing he says would be believed by any judge or jury. It isn't surprising that Nader also frequently partied with liar-Bill Clinton at private island resorts and Jeffrey Epstein's Sex Island where both liar-Bill and liar-Hillary Clinton were frequent guests...

China Moves Into Mexico Next Door
And Starts Broadcasting Communist Propaganda

{ noisyroom.net } ~ Once again, we see real journalism out there from Bill Gertz over at The Washington Free Beacon. That guy rocks... He just uncovered something that should ring alarm bells across America. A large Spanish-language radio station in Mexico will soon begin broadcasting Chinese propaganda. That’s right, the Chinese are setting up shop in Mexico. They’ve been there for a long time, but this is a new step in arrogance for them in an attempt to spread communism in Mexico and South America as well as the U.S. They are joined by their good friends Russia, Iran and Cuba in doing so. You can toss Venezuela into the mix as well. Critics know that the propaganda is specifically aimed at Chinese Americans throughout Southern California. This should not be allowed. It is subversive and in my book, a definite step towards war. Think about this for a minute and it should make your blood run cold. If the Chinese and others are successful in spreading communism not only in South and Central America via Mexico, and then into Southern California where there are already many communist radicals that aren’t Chinese, what do you think will happen? If the Chinese can rally Chinese Americans who are communists and have been planted in Southern California and sway enough useful idiots in the state, if war breaks out, California would be the first to fall, along with their vital seaports and military bases. No easy feat, but think like the Chinese and you see what the longterm goal is here. Gertz says there is a Federal Communications Commission filing on the sale of radio station XEWW AM 690 radio near Tijuana. In that filing, it is revealed that the buyer has ties to Phoenix Satellite Television US, a subsidiary of Hong Kong’s pro-Beijing Phoenix TV. Phoenix North America Chinese Channel is one of the six channels that Phoenix Television operates. It was launched on January 1st, 2001 in order to serve Chinese viewers in North America, and it is the first Chinese language channel that is available across the continent. This channel now broadcasts on both EchoStar, Dish and DirectTV satellite systems and shares similar programming with Phoenix Chinese News and Entertainment Channel. Some of its in-house programs include “Phoenix North America News” and “Experience America.”...

{ dailycaller.com } ~ Multiple members of the progressive protest group who gathered outside the White House Sunday threatened President Trump with physical violence and murder... The Secret Service tells The Daily Caller they are now “aware” of the threats and are “investigating” the progressive protesters. “The Secret Service is aware of the incident,” a Secret Service spokesperson tells The Daily Caller, clarifying that they cannot further comment on “protective intelligence investigations” as a matter of policy. While the majority of those involved in the Sunday protest marched under banners of “Peace” while chanting “Love, not hate. That’s what makes America Great,” the protest was peppered with  anarchists, black bloc thugs and armed, masked Antifa members...   http://dailycaller.com/2018/08/13/secret-service-aware-of-antifa-threats/?utm_medium=email

{ foxnews.com } ~ Prosecutors on Monday rested their case against Paul Manafort... the former Trump campaign chairman accused of bank and tax fraud in a case brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team. After a day of testimony from a bank executive, prosecutors announced in court: “The government rests.” Manafort, 69, is facing tax evasion and bank fraud charges after being accused of hiding a “significant percentage” of income earned from his Ukrainian work from the IRS. He’s also been accused of fraudulently obtaining millions more in bank loans, including while he was working on the Trump campaign. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Last week, the prosecution’s star witness, Rick Gates – Manafort’s former business partner who struck a plea deal to cooperate with the government -- testified that he and Manafort committed bank and tax fraud together...

The Death Penalty and Catholicism 
yVjE1VLeSGbCw1Y_ZR7fFm2aS2yh-uQlQV5zynJjFCifSgZDojfK3DclMjSLg01s7uimzy5bkVhao2y4Ql-mHn2zor0f241hKvJi-AIg49CvKMygpJTw65-QahMPswfQZ4zFpIOQ7hheQv8hN09U04iaRiBCJVKYuuh17yprTlQ=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450
by Robin Smith:  On Aug. 2, 2018, the Catholic Church’s Pope Francis declared to the world that the death penalty is never an appropriate punishment. On the same day, the largest Roman Catholic dioceses in Pennsylvania published a list of 71 priests, deacons, and seminarians accused of “substantiated” sexual abuse over the last 70 years.

             It’s an interesting contrast to discuss the age-old debate about capital punishment for the most heinous crimes while we await evidence of abominable crimes alleged to have been committed within the Catholic Church. While we do, let’s cheer on the justice system to bring every true sexual predator to face a swift trial and punishment, whether in the Church or wherever.
               In the meantime, what about that death penalty? Is it ever fitting? Have crimes become more or less evil or monstrous? Do we expect our governments to address the most atrocious of crimes as a justice system, a legal system, or an institution that appears to selectively apply morality? Acknowledging the moral and religious aspects of this debate, why is the partisan divide over the death penalty growing, with an 18-point increase from 2000 to 2016, according to Gallup? And why does it appear that there’s greater offense to capital punishment for criminals as opposed to other loss of innocent life?
               In America, there are 41 capital crimes — criminal acts punishable by death. Understanding that the taking innocent life is deemed murder, the taking of a life in self-defense has not been considered or punished as murder either in religious teachings or in civil governments. As restitution and justice, society has established that an especially atrocious act of murder may be punished through death precisely because life is so precious, and that the riddance of such evil provides a good.
               Regardless of political stripes, those who adhere to the Christian faith see that God, our Creator, who states in the writings of Paul that “the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23), did provide a way, a Redeemer, to pay the required debt of sin. That debt is paid for those who take the Name and ways of Jesus Christ through the confession of sin and the repentance, or turning away from, the same. But, problematically, dummycrats-Democrats and the political Left demand that the state and Church never intersect — or, put another way, that the church not encroach on the state’s province. The blame for this falls on their out-of-context use of Thomas Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptists that agreed that a state-sponsored church should be prohibited instead of their misuse to discourage the free exercise of religion. dummycrats-Democrats literally voted God out of their party platform in 2012, but in the case of capital punishment cite the precious nature of life and the power of redemption. Yes, this is the same group who also demand abortion as an essential element of women’s health, viewing an unborn child as a clump of cells, not a life.
               So why would the amoral state spare the life of a convicted criminal sentenced to death, especially in the day of DNA evidence, videographic and technological advances to provide more than circumstantial evidence and the incredibly high bar a death penalty case must reach for execution?
               Even Christ Himself, hanging on the cross on Golgotha’s hill between two criminals sentenced to death promised them eternal life in heaven if they believed. He did not offer a bargain of escape from punishment deemed appropriate by the government for the crimes they had committed.
               To punctuate the magnitude and seriousness of our sin, iniquities, and transgressions, the sinless Son of Man hung on a criminal’s cross in public humiliation to die and pay the penalty of sin for all of Creation. In other words, while there’s redemption and reform available, justice is demanded. And, here are some thoughts that are a bit uncomfortable when citing the Bible, a Holy Father God, and His Son Jesus: The very nature of God in His righteousness demands and guarantees justice, and that very same nature of a Holy God provides mercy and grace as a gift to be received. All of the teachings of God and Christ are to the individual, not governments. While governments can show mercy, the role of a government is to provide structure, order, and authority — see Romans 13.
               In both the religious and civil aspects of society, unlawful behavior carries a penalty. In the first five books of the Bible, the penalty for murder is mentioned and clear: death. Furthermore, the specifics of Genesis 9 to Noah and his family were to reestablish civility after the Great Flood included God’s demand of an accounting for the life of another human being stating, “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind.”
               From 1976 through July 2018, there have been 1,479 executions for capital crimes in the U.S. Already this year, there have been over 500,000 abortions in America with a report of child abuse made, on average, every 10 seconds. Now, which life do we celebrate?
