News That's Hard to Find for July 17, 2018

London Police Banned A Pro-Trump Demonstration Outside The U.S. Embassy
The Muslim mayor shows his colors.
Police in Sadiq Khan’s London have used the Public Order Act to prevent a rally in support of U.S. President Donald Trump outside the American embassy, despite permitting a large, ill-tempered anti-Trump rally on Friday.
They allowed thousands of anti-Trump protesters to do so.
But then:
Clashes break out as thousands attend ‘Free Tommy Robinson’ and pro-Trump rally in London
Seems pro-Trump demonstrators were allowed to gather.
AMAZING TURNOUT! … THOUSANDS Turn Out for Pro-Trump and Free Tommy Robinson Rally in London
Something you won’t see reported on the LSM.

Anthony Gaughan on Judge Kavanaugh
An extremely interesting article about the good judge and his philosophy as to the original intent of the Founders in creating the constitution. It compares him to Judge Scalia and explains how he’s different from Judge Kennedy.
According to Kavanaugh, the framers’ diverse and often conflicting opinions should make judges skeptical of historical evidence, even in the case of a document as renowned and influential as the Federalist Papers. As the judge explained during the roundtable:
“The point being, be careful about even The Federalist . . . point of view. That’s not the authoritative interpretation of the [Constitution’s] words. You’ve [also] got to be careful about some of the ratification debates. You’ve got to be careful about different people at the Convention itself. They had different views.”
The site is an interesting read if you want opinions as to the original meaning of the constitution. Much more @ http://originalismblog.typepad.com/the-originalism-blog/2018/07/anthony-gaughan-on-judge-kavanaugh-and-originalismmichael-ramsey.html

Desperation.
CNN star busted spreading ugly Supreme Court lie @ https://thehornnews.com/cnn-star-busted-spreading-ugly-supreme-court-lie/
Perhaps it’s time to change CNN’s motto to that old Irish saying, “Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.”

Establishment Media Silent After Illegal Immigrant Beheads 13-Year-Old Special Needs Girl
He’ll do some worthless jaim time, be deported, and will come right back again.
An illegal immigrant is accused of beheading a 13-year-old special needs girl who witnessed him and another man assaulting her grandmother with a knife and leaving her to die in a graveyard, according to news reports.
Testimony delivered in a Huntsville, Alabama, courtroom on Friday indicated that the girl’s grandmother was involved with the Sinaloa cartel.
And the media screams that illegls are not criminals!

Putin Drops Bombshell!
Ignore all the left and right outrage over the president’s performance at the press conference after his meeting with Putin. Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty.
Vladimir Putin: Last year there was one extradition case by the United States… Mueller can use this treaty as an official request to us… in this case this kind of effort should be a reciprocal one… For instance we can bring up Mr. Browder… They sent a huge amount of money $400,000,000 to Hillary Clinton! …So we have solid reason to believe that some [US] intelligence offers accompanied and guided these transactions. So we have an interest in questioning them.
Notice how the media is doing everything it can to ignore this?
Putin Claims U.S. Intelligence Agents Funneled $400 Million To Clinton Campaign @ https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-07-16/putin-claims-us-intelligence-agents-funneled-400-million-clinton-campaign
Putin said this:
For instance, we can bring up Mr. Browder, in this particular case. Business associates of Mr. Browder have earned over $1.5 billion in Russia and never paid any taxes neither in Russia or the United States and yet the money escaped the country. They were transferred to the United States. They sent [a] huge amount of money, $400,000,000, as a contribution to the campaign of Hillary Clinton. Well that’s their personal case.
It might have been legal, the contribution itself but the way the money was earned was illegal. So we have solid reason to believe that some [US] intelligence officers accompanied and guided these transactions. So we have an interest in questioning them.

Rand Paul says he 'absolutely' stands by Trump after Russia summit, blames outrage on 'Trump-derangement syndrome'
"I think there is a bit of Trump-derangement syndrome," Paul said. "I think there are people who hate the president so much that this could've easily been President Obama early in his first administration setting the reset button and trying to have better relations with Russia."
Good for Paul!
The More the Left, the media, the Never-Trumpers, and so on attack him, the more it will spur his supporters to stand up for him and candidates who support him.
Schumer Raises 'Possibility That Putin Holds Damaging Information Over President Trump' @ https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/susan-jones/schumer-raises-possibility-putin-holds-damaging-information-over-president
The loud-mouth jerk blathers once again.
And here’s what Putin says:
Putin on Whether He Has Compromising Material on Trump, Family: ‘I Didn’t Even Know That He Was in Moscow’ @ https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/melanie-arter/putin-whether-he-has-compromising-material-trump-family-i-didnt-even-know
All You Need to Know About The MSM / Establishment Freak out over the Trump Putin Presser from http://datechguyblog.com/2018/07/17/all-you-need-to-know-about-the-msm-establishment-freak-out-over-the-trump-putin-presser/
  1. You will likely be able to count the number of votes Trump will lose over it on the fingers of one hand.
  2. Any GOP House or Senate candidate not named Romney who goes with the MSM spin is doing him or her self more harm than good.
Don Surber put it best:
Forget facts. Look at how this reaction to the press conference plays at home.
Once again, President Trump makes his critics sound like kooks, because they are.
I’m old enough to remember when an MSM freakout could break a GOP president, now we just point at them and laugh

Why Trump’s Words and Actions on Russia Seem Contradictory but Aren’t
As usual, the president’s foes go out of their way to find every tidbit they can to attack him. This piece points out what they won’t admit to.
A review of Trump’s policies turns up little that could be viewed as supportive of Russia’s agenda:
In the wake of election interference, Trump — albeit reluctantly and in the face of veto-proof majorities in both houses of Congress — signed a bill ramping up sanctions against Russia and against many specific Russian oligarchs said to be allies of Putin.
The Trump administration last year allowed the sale of lethal anti-tank and other much-needed weapons to Ukraine — something Obama refused to do despite repeated pleas from Ukrainian leaders — to beef up defenses against possible further aggression by a country that had invaded and annexed Crimea.
In June last year, Trump withdrew from the Paris climate change accords, an environmental pact supported by Russia.
In May, Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions on Russia’s biggest ally in the Middle East. Russia helped negotiate that deal and strongly supported it.
Trump has pushed for increased spending on the U.S. military, which clearly is not in Russia’s interests.
Trump also has supported expanding domestic energy production, a fact the president referenced on Monday. Since energy is by far Russia’s most important industry and high energy prices are vital to Putin’s ability to project power beyond Russia’s borders, it directly contradicts that nation’s interests for the United States to increase energy production.

Labor Department awards $47 million in grants to employ homeless veterans
I’m somewhat leery of who the money is going to.
The Department of Labor send us their press release announcing an award of $47,600,000 in grants to help employ homeless veterans;
“While serving in the military, veterans learn many skills desired in today’s workforce,” said [U.S. Secretary of Labor Alexander] Acosta. “These grants will help thousands of homeless veterans reintegrate themselves into society and secure good jobs.”
Funds are being awarded on a competitive basis to state and local workforce investment boards; local public agencies and nonprofit organizations; tribal governments; and faith-based and community organizations. Homeless veterans may receive occupational skills training, apprenticeship opportunities, and on-the-job training, as well as job search and placement assistance.
By the way, the unemployment rate for veterans in June was 3.3%. I figure that I should mention it, since the media has been reasonably silent on the issue recently.

Papa John’s founder reveals the truth about what happened
Something else the LSM won’t report on. He was blind-sided, misquoted, and attacked.
“Believe it or not, the agency was promoting that vocabulary,” Schnatter said. “I made it real clear. ‘Listen, we’re not going to go there. We’re not going to talk about this.’ They pushed me. And it upset me. I said, ‘Listen, other people have used that word. I don’t, and will not use that word and people at Papa John’s don’t use that.'”
“That was the comment. [The agency] actually wanted to get into that vocabulary,” Schnatter explained.
When asked by the radio host whether or not he was “duped” into using the N-word, Schnatter reiterated he felt pushed to use it after instructing the agency he did not want to dive into racial issues.
Other reports indicate an attempt was made to extort $5million from him.

Marine veteran’s meal-replacement bars take aim at MREs
I’m always amazed by the ingenuity of those who use their noodles to find new and better ways to do things. He got tired of Meals Rotten and Enfuriating and decided to find something better.
DeMaio said he contacted a nutritionist with Naval Special Warfare Command at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, Calif., who told him exactly what warfighters would need in such a product.
“So I baked up a batch and sent it to some buddies I had that were in Afghanistan to see if it was viable,” DeMaio said. “The response I got was, ‘These are really good. They keep us going. Send more.’ That’s how I got started.”

Could This Reporter Survive The Army Combat Fitness Test?
How about Light Birds and Sergeant Majors who have to pass the test prior to assuming their posts? Good luck.
All battalion and brigade commanders, as well as command sergeants major, will have to pass the test in their pre-command courses before assuming their duties, said Frost, head of the Army Center for Initial Military Training.
If you listen carefully, you can hear a slew field-grade officers and crusty senior enlisted leaders describing their enthusiasm for the test by finding new and creative ways to use the word “bulls**t.”

Police are reportedly cutting too-long dresses off ethnic minority women in the middle of streets in China
With so many pro-Muslims in our media, I’m amazed this hasn’t been brought front and forward on all the networks.
Uighur women in China's Xinjiang province have had their dresses cut by police in public, photos appear to show.
China subjects Uighurs to extreme rules in an effort to crack down on religious extremism.
Hundreds of thousands, if not one million, Uighurs are currently being held in "re-education centers"to indoctrinate them with the will of the Chinese Communist Party and abandon their traditional Muslim beliefs.
Surveillance is also pervasive with tens of thousands of facial recognition cameras and biometric data used to monitor residents.

Paving Roads With Plastic
Turning this:
Into this:
If it’s so successful in India, why aren’t we doing it here in the USA?
The amount of plastic produced in a year is roughly the same as the entire weight of humanity
Wow! Wouldn’t it be great is they could gather up plastic from that mass floating in the ocean and turn it into roads and buildings?
