Lawsuit Suggests Spying On Trump 
Campaign Started In Early 2016

thefederalist.com } ~ Late last week, Svetlana Lokhova, a Russian-born English citizen, sued presumed Spygate frontman Stefan Halper and three media giants... the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and MSNBC—for defamation and conspiracy, alleging the defendants falsely painted her as a Russian spy and Michael Flynn paramour in order to push the Russia collusion narrative. Lokhova’s 66-page complaint reads more like a political shock jock transcript than a legal document: “Stefan Halper is a ratf—er and a spy, who embroiled an innocent woman in a conspiracy to undo the 2016 Presidential election and topple the President of the United States of America,” her lawsuit opened. But behind the colorful language—clearly crafted for public consumption—Lokhova’s lawsuit lays out facts that suggest spying on the Trump campaign began in early 2016 and with the aid of British intelligence. In her lawsuit, Lokhova detailed how she first met the retired general and short-lived Trump national security advisor Michael Flynn. In January 2014, while working to complete her Ph.D. at Cambridge University, her mentor Professor Christopher M. Andrew (“Andrew”), and Sir Richard Dearlove (“Dearlove”), invited Lokhova to attend a group dinner with Flynn. Andrew and Dearlove are connected to British intelligence, with Andrew having served as the official historian to “MI5,” the counterintelligence organization in the UK, and Dearlove having spent “decades with British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), known as MI6,” and serving as its director from 1999 to 2004. Lokhova stated the purpose of the dinner was to promote what was to become the Cambridge Security Initiative (CSI), “a group chaired by Dearlove,” which sought “to advance education in international security and intelligence issues and to help support graduate students, such as Lokhova, while they were studying at Cambridge.” Among the 20 guests attending the February 28, 2014, dinner at Cambridge was Flynn, then President Barack scumbag/liar-nObama’s director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). Following the dinner, and while in the presence of the other attendees, Lokhova spoke briefly with Flynn about her research into the founding of the Soviet intelligence service. Lokhova and Flynn later exchanged emails, which the Russian scholar stressed in her complaint were always shared with Andrew, with whom she was co-authoring a book. These events later took on a surreal significance when Trump was elected president and scumbag/liar-nObama administration officials and high-level D.C. government insiders traded leaks for the legacy media’s peddling of the Russia collusion narrative...

Climate Change is a Political Loser

frontpagemag.com } ~ First came Donald Trump’s stunning victory in 2016, after a campaign in which he rejected the “scientific consensus” on catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW)... and proved true to his rhetoric by withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accords. Then a few years later, France was rocked by the “yellow vests” movement that started with protests against a tax on fuel that President Emmanuel Macron, in true globalist technocratic fashion, proposed as a way to “nudge” the masses into using less of the carbon-based energy allegedly heating the planet. And now comes Australia, where contrary to the predictions of the globalist elite, the anti-carbon progressive who had proposed job-killing regulations to cut carbon emissions in half by 2030, failed to defeat the conservative incumbent who would rather save jobs than “save the planet.” Climate change is looking like a losing election issue. The global technocrats, for whom Climate Change has been one of those “crises” that progressives “never let go to waste,” no doubt are wishing they could “dissolve the people” rather than change the government through democratic elections. Persuading free citizens with arguments based on fact, or with appeals to their interests, is difficult when your “crisis” is nothing more than a politicized hypothesis based on appeals to authority, rigged computer simulations, and apocalyptic predictions laced with insults to the skeptics’ intelligence and morals. The politicians should have seen the signs of global warming’s declining utility as an electoral scare-tactic. In the U.S., “climate change” for years has ranked low on the list of issues voters are concerned about. Before last year’s midterm elections, in a Gallup Poll “climate change” ranked next to last of 12 issues that voters judged “extremely/very important,” just above investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election. Of course, people will tell a pollster they’re “concerned” and think “something should be done” about climate change, because they’ve been told that’s what the “right” people think. But when it comes to election day, most will vote for a growing economy, wage increases, more jobs, lower taxes, and fewer federal Nurse Ratcheds trying to cram more social or environmental “justice” pills down their throats. Moreover, we’ve had decades now of hysterical predictions followed by “never mind” when they are belied by facts, along with the vicious demonization and ostracization of scientists who question the dominant narrative of CAGW. The hypocrisy of this very unscientific demand for unquestioned obeisance not to a scientific fact, but to a working hypothesis has now become blatantly obvious. Real science, which is usually reluctant to claim it’s “settled,” works quite the opposite. As philosopher Karl Popper defined it, “The method of science is the method of bold conjectures and ingenious and severe attempts to refute them.”...

The Real Constitutional Crisis

spectator.org } ~ In case you haven’t been listening, we’re supposed to be in the middle of a constitutional crisis. That’s what Nancy Pulosi and scumbag liar-Jerry Nadler are telling us... and it’s all because Donald Trump and Bill Barr are refusing to submit to House subpoenas. Never mind that Trump allowed Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller to interview everyone he wanted, without asserting executive privilege, and that everything you might want to know about the administration is out there in dirty cop-Mueller’s report. It’s not always pretty. Never mind that, when the shoe was on the other foot, scumbag/liar-nObama ruled by decree and scumbag-Eric Holder didn’t want to talk about Fast and Furious. So even by Democratic standards, it sounds pretty hysterical. But there is a quiet constitutional crisis that’s happening, underneath all the noise. We’ve got a constitution with a separation of powers which assumes that people can work together. That’s supposed to ensure that bad policies will be screened away and that only good policies will be enacted. But when one party refuses to work with the other, nothing gets enacted. That’s supposed eventually to bring both sides to the table, and in the past that’s what always happened. Except for that one time, in 1861.Now it’s happening again. It’s not like 1995, when scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton could turn on a dime and work with Newt Gingrich, or 2001 when George W. Bush got along with Teddy Kennedy. This time it looks more permanent. If Trump is Hitler and the dictator scumbag liar-Nadler is warning us about, then you don’t expect to see any deals getting cut. What’s different today is the Democrats have bought into the idea of “no enemies on the left,” which means they’re prisoners of the most radical people on their fringes. They hang out with lordless-Louis Farrakhan, and we’re still waiting for them to condemn the Antifa rioters. In 1992 scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton cut loose anti-white racist Sister Souljah, but since then identity politics and racism have gone mainstream in the Party and we don’t see any Sister Souljah Moments from them today. Like children playing with fire, they’ve bought into ideas that put them far outside the mainstream, and they’re several standard deviations to the left of where they used to be. scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton thought that abortion should be “safe, legal and rare,” but that’s not where the present party is. We’ll see you later-term abortions, and raise you infanticide, says Gov. Ralph Northam. The very woke socialist-Beto O’Rourke seeks the blessing of scumbag-Al Sharpton and endorses racial reparations. As for the green new deal, if the world is going to end in 12 years, it’s whoopee time and anything goes...    https://spectator.org/the-real-constitutional-crisis/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=00a813d7a1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_05_28_03_08&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-00a813d7a1-104608113 

Questions Remain After Israel Strikes 
Syrian Air-Defense System

jpost.com } ~ Israel said a Syrian anti-aircraft system fired at an IDF fighter jet on Monday night. Israel responded by targeting the launcher that had shot at the plane... This is the very simple and clear statement that was released. It also said the Israeli jet that had been fired upon was on a routine flight in northern Israel. Syrian sources have reported the launcher which was hit – somewhere in the Khan Arnabeh and Quneitra area – was a Syrian ZSU-34-4 Shilka and the soldiers manning it were from the 121st brigade of the Syrian army. The main difference between the various Shilka models is the size of the guns on it, or caliber. For instance, the ZSU-23-4 Shilka, which entered service in 1962, had four 23 mm. auto-cannons with radar guidance.  This weapon system has been spotted often in Syria, and its cannons have also been seen mounted on other vehicles or even positioned to be used for ground defense. What that means is this system doesn’t appear to be the kind that would normally be used to target fighter jets, but rather helicopters or slower surveillance aircraft. The system can be updated, like what was done with a new system developed by Belarus – mentioned this year in Russia’s TASS – that was armed with short range missiles and a robotized gun to deal with drone threats. When the Syrian regime forces returned to the Golan border area last summer, there were tensions. This was partly because of fears Iran would use Syria’s return to the area for its own purposes. Israel has said that it struck more than 100 Iranian targets in Syria over the last years. According to Russia’s TASS, when the Syrian forces returned to the area around Quneitra, they also recaptured Syrian army equipment from rebel forces. These included “10 Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.” That means we know the Shilka was present in that area. But questions remain about what happened on Monday night. Why did an antiquated Syrian air defense system fire at an Israeli jet? Why was the system so close to the UN-patrolled zone on the Golan border area? Khan Arnabeh is directly on Line Bravo, where the UN’s UNDOP is supposed to observe the ceasefire line buffer zone. The location of the strike was variously given in Iranian media as Khan Arnabeh or the Quneitra area in other Syrian media. Russia’s Sputnik called it Tel al-Shaar. All of these areas are very close to the sensitive ceasefire line. Questions remain about why the Syrian air defenses would seek to provoke an Israeli response. Over the years, Syria has come to know that any rockets or anti-aircraft fire over the border or targeting Israel has resulted in retaliation. This has been the case throughout the fall of 2018 and into the first months of 2019. Syria’s regime is also involved in a massive build-up of forces near its northern Idlib province, where it is trying to force Turkish-backed Syrian rebels and other extremists to leave an area that is under Turkey’s control. Why would Damascus create tensions with Jerusalem at this sensitive time?...

dinky-Warren poised to break out, comkie-AOC endorsement could derail commie-Sanders

washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Democrat Elizabeth dinky-Warren’s once-floundering 2020 presidential campaign has been declared back by the media, and her bid to win the endorsement of Rep. commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appears on track... and threatening the No. 2 position of Sen. commie-Bernie Sanders. Several media outlets have reported that the Massachusetts senator is breaking away from the middle and bottom of the 2020 pack and she is winning more support from liberals and progressives than commie-Sanders. In the past month she has won several unofficial endorsements from commie-Ocasio-Cortez, and the two even cut a “Game of Thrones” video posted on Twitter. The media-savvy New York lawmaker has also defended dinky-Warren over high legal fees she charged and backed a tech company breakup plan pushed by dinky-Warren. One longtime dinky-Warren watcher said that it appears the senator’s campaign to win the official endorsement from the darling of progressives is on track. “The commie-AOC endorsement could be the coup d’état for the heart and soul of the restless left wing base dinky-Warren is courting,” said the dinky-Warren watcher. It would likely undermine the campaign of commie-Sanders, who has long considered himself the leader of progressives and liberals, said another analyst...   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/warren-poised-to-break-out-aoc-endorsement-could-derail-sanders?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_News%20Brief_05/28/2019&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_News%20Brief&rid=5261

Smelling Trump Supporters

{tommclaughlin.blogspot.com} ~Each time I enter Walmart in North Conway, New Hampshire I think about the 2016 text from former FBI agent Peter Strzok to his girlfriend, FBI Attorney Lisa Page: “Just went to a southern Virginia Wal-Mart,” Strzok wrote. “I could SMELL the Trump support.” Both were deeply into what now appears to have been a Machiavellian scheme to prevent Donald Trump from winning the 2016 election.  
hillary_whole_foods-580x385.jpg
Walmart draws a different demographic than, say, a Sears Store, but it’s still in business while Sears is bankrupt. It sells almost every kind of item and usually at the lowest prices, so it’s no wonder the poor shop there. Often I hear condescending remarks about Walmart shoppers from people who think themselves elite sophisticates, a large percentage of whom I suspect supported Hillary. Where might Peter Strzok have smelled them? Whole Foods? Bloomingdales?  
Les-Deplorables-copy.jpg
How many Walmart shoppers voted against scumbag/liar-Hillary after they heard her remarks about Trump’s supporters delivered shortly after the Strzok text above? “To just be grossly generalist, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call ‘the basket of deplorables,’” scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton told donors gathered at a Manhattan restaurant in September, 2016. “Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that, and he has lifted them up.” Many pundits think that remark cost her the election weeks later.  
HOME-DEPOT-01-800x416.jpg
After shopping at Walmart, I will often go to the nearby Home Depot or Lowe’s for tools and supplies. I think about the shoppers there and wonder about their politics. Mostly they’re tradesmen or do-it-yourselfers looking for the same items I am. They’re purpose-driven, knowing what they need for a particular project. They know how stuff works and know how to fix things when they break down.

In the parking lot are many pickup trucks. I might see a Trump sticker but almost never a commie-Bernie or scumbag/liar-Hillary sticker. I don’t see very many political stickers because contractors don’t wish to put off clients. Most small businessmen keep their politics private. I suggest Peter Strzok would “smell” more Trump supporters at a Home Depot or Lowe’s than at a Walmart.  
strzok-and-page-4.jpg
Strzok and Page, in concert with many others, did everything they could to prevent Donald Trump from winning. They also worked the scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton email investigation that recommended she not be indicted. Then they worked on the “counterintelligence” investigation of Donald Trump that turned into a criminal investigation shortly after his election. dirty cop-Mueller eventually fired them after their caustic, anti-Trump texts went public. According to the Washington Post, some went like this: “Trump’s not ever going to become president, right? Right?!” Page texted Strzok in August 2016. “No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it,” Strzok responded.

Well, they didn’t stop it, but the two lovers were soon hired by dirty cop-Mueller to work in his dubious Russian collusion investigation, which they probably thought would lead to Trump’s impeachment. It didn’t, but Democrats are still hoping to impeach Trump for “obstructing justice” during the investigation into a “crime” for which it found zero evidence.

Electricians, plumbers, mechanics, and other tradesmen are called in to solve real-world problems. They diagnose, then figure out the easiest ways to make a repair. If they don’t solve problems they don’t stay in business. Neither politicians nor media operate under those constraints, however. Political problems like crime, terrorism, trade deficits, poverty, illegal immigration, deficit spending, unemployment, and so forth are reported by media. Politicians diagnose causes and propose solutions — but are not held accountable when problems persist or even worsen.  
injustice-league.jpg
They escape accountability either by mouthing platitudes via teleprompter, by redefining the problems, or by proposing increased spending on heretofore unsuccessful remedies. For decades media assisted by glossing over failed solutions. When Donald Trump came down his escalator in June 2015, spoke plainly about what was causing our problems, and, without a teleprompter, explained what he would do about them, politicians and establishment media laughed.

When his poll numbers rose, media said it was a fluke and wouldn’t last. Months later he was brushing aside sixteen Republican opponents and cruising toward the nomination. A complete outsider with neither political nor military experience, he had it sewn up by June 2016 and the only thing standing between him and the presidency was scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton — and she was under FBI investigation.
the-real-election-collusion-was-james-comey-andrew-mccabe-peter-30771770.png
Together with Director scumbag-Comey, Attorney General liar-Lynch, and others, they successfully broomed the scumbag/liar-Hillary investigation, but Trump was elected anyway and dirty cop-Mueller found no collusion. Now the tables have turned and the investigators are themselves subjects of at least two investigations, one by another special prosecutor named John Durham appointed by Attorney General Barr.  
Strzok-Page.jpg
Millions of ordinary people like the tradesmen I see at Home Depot have been watching this unfold right along. They know Trump’s solutions have been working in spite of vociferous opposition from Strzok and his ilk — whose chickens are now coming home to roost.
