News That's Hard to Find for June 26, 2018


CBC Writer Threatens Trump’s 4-Year-Old Granddaughter
@ https://twitter.com/patdussault?lang=en
What the hell is going on here? Has the Left become so deranged that they will lash out at little children? First, young Bannon. Then they attack the DHS Secretary at a movie. And Maxine Waters calls for Leftists to confront President Trump’s people wherever they are. And, not only did the owner of The Red Hen kick Sarah Sanders out but followed her across the street to try to cause trouble for her at another establishment.
Little 4-year old Chloe
Someone has to stand up to them!
I think this would be an awesome opportunity for “Bikers for Trump” to step up and put these slimeballs in their place. Their website is @ http://www.bikersfortrump2016.com/ and I am going to send them a copy of this to see if I can draw their attention to what’s going on. If you agree with me, perhaps you can too. https://www.facebook.com/bikersfortrump/
And use the damned things if they’re attacked by the Leftist loonys.
Lott observed, “There are simply not enough police in D.C. or Virginia or Maryland to protect all Trump officials at their homes and when they go out to restaurants. Getting a concealed handgun permit would be helpful to protect themselves and their family.”

Don’t Believe the Disavowals – Democrats Have Been Harassing Opponents for Years
Their words are meaningless. As usual.
The fact is that confronting or harassing opponents has been a staple of left-wing “community organizing” since the 1960s, when such tactics were perfected by Saul Alinsky. And under the influence of Barack Obama and others, the Democratic Party has increasingly embraced such tactics.
It was Obama who said on the campaign trail in 2008 that his supporters should confront their friends and neighbors: “I want you to argue with them, and get in their face.”

DOJ Doesn’t Comply – Hapless House Struggling to Figure Out What to do Next
Anyone surprised that Rosenstein and his cronies didn’t come up with what the House committee asked for? Not me. Now the question is just what is/can the House going to do about it?
A “sense of Congress” resolution?
Oh yeah, that should scare them witless.
IMHO the only thing they should do is go to a federal judge and get him/her to order compliance with the request. Failure to do so could lead to criminal charges.
Of course, the solution is quite simple. AG Session should get off his duff and order compliance with the request or take punitive action against those who fail to comply. If he won’t do it, the guy with the ultimate authority should do so – President Trump.


US Liberals Are Clinically Insane And Care Nothing For The American People
What an understatement!
There are some understandable reasons for the Left’s collective mental breakdown. Briefly, ‘Russiagate’ is disintegrating into a burlesque theater of the absurd, while Trump – from jump-starting the Heartland’s industrial sector, to making peace with a nuclear-armed dictator, to ‘winning’ the World Cup – is on a serious roll. If the momentum continues, it may give the Republicans a crucial victory in November congressional midterms. The Democrats, acutely aware as to what is at stake yet unable to stop Trump, are showing a side of their character that can be best described as treacherous. And in order to see the symptoms of a disintegrating Democratic Party one only need look at the US entertainment industry.
The political backlash to this will be massive in November. The more the Left shows their insanity, the more sane Americans will vote to elect politicias who espouse and believe in core constitutional beliefs. The so-called Blue Wave will turn Scarlet.


Heavily Intoxicated Heather Locklear Punched Officer
She ain’t looking so good right now.
She can’t get it together in her personal life and I’m not surprised in the least. These people make a living pretending to be someone else so why be surprised when they can;t successfully be themselves.


113 Political Figures Gunned Down Since September 2017
Earlier in June, within the span of 24 hours three female political candidates were shot dead.
Shortly after that, a prominent candidate for Congress was shot in the back of the head while taking a selfie with a supporter.
Where is this happening?
Just south of our border in Mexico.
And the entire police force of one town was arrested by the Federales for being complcit with the murder of a local political candidate.
The media makes a big deal of people at the border trying to get into the USA and the poor little children torn from the breasts of their mothers. Where’s their outrage of the mayhem in that country’s political process?

Some Mexican Election Laws Truly Whacko
15 Dudes Pose As Transgender To Take Over Women's Election Positions In Mexico
Hunh? I thought stuff like that happens only in California or Washington.
In the latest installment of Patriarchy For The Win, 15 men in Mexico faked being transgender so they could take over election positions designed for women in Oaxaca, Mexico.
"The indigenous Zapotec community of the isthmus of Tehuantepec has long recognized a third gender of transgender people known as muxes – who are born with male bodies, but identify as neither male or female," reports The Guardian. The electoral rules allow muxes to occupy candidacies designated for biological women.
Thus, using the parity rules and the loose definition of gender to their advantage, 15 men claimed to identify as women to take over positions designated for the female sex.


UAW Executives Get a 30% Salary Increase
For doing what?
With government prosecutors labeling the United Auto Workers as “co-conspirators” with Fiat-Chrysler in “a widening corruption scandal,” the UAW may be facing the possibility of the federal government coming in to oversee the union’s finances.
Now, the UAW faces possible criminal fines and potential federal government oversight of its finances,” writes Allen Kinzer, a labor attorney with Vorys Sater Seymour and Pease LLP.
How could the delegates do that, especially as 1500 members at GM’s Lordstown facility are losing their jobs.


Tiger Woods wants to level the playing field in education one child at a time
Forget all the negatives about his past and the amazing results of his playing skills. This is a side to the multi-million dollar sports star that nobody reports on.
More than 50 STEM classes are offered in sports science, nutrition and fitness, video game design, human anatomy and oceanography. Others involve DNA analysis and animal dissection. Some students are building rockets, others a scaled-down rollercoaster. One class’s experiment had students get hamburgers from In-N-Out to measure the sugar and fat content in servings to see the difference from one burger to another.
They have 10-year-olds doing coding now, it’s crazy,” Woods said. “I just keep telling the foundation to keep pushing it, keep growing it. It’s a different world now. It’s geared to high-tech and these kids aren’t the most fortunate kids. So for them to have access to all the different platforms that pretty much all the other kids in private schools have is important and vital.
We’re trying to make it a level playing field.”


Separating Families “Not New” According to Veteran Border Patrol Agent
According to Agent Terrence Shigg, the influx of families came in 2014 and the agencies weren’t prepared for them.
He said he would respond to critics and say: “I would challenge them with the fact that we are taking in people that have risked rape, robbery, assault, murder, have spent their life savings and given it to a criminal cartel to get them to the United States. They’ve already gone through that. We’ve taken them, we’ve put them into a shelter. We’ve given them food. We’ve given them clothing. We’ve put them in a climate-controlled environment,” the veteran agent said. “And we are protecting them. And then we are processing them in a humanely and as expeditiously as possible.”
My question is, why 2014? What happened then to cause the big increase? Did all the years of crime and corruption in Mexico and Central America just happen then? And why?
Also, what led these so-called refugees to believe that by bringing their children or having them at the border, would increase their chances of staying in the USA?
I wonder.


Having more allies may decrease a country's power
How interesting. Does this mean that President Trump’s anti-globalism is making the USA stronger?Reversing the subservient course of the previous administration?
A country in the game must maintain equilibrium--it cannot extend friendship if it does not retain the resources to mediate conflicts between allies. More allies thus increases the country's responsibility to help mediate conflicts that may arise, which could overstretch and decrease the country's own overall welfare.

McCain’s Staff Flunkie Urged IRS to Ruin Tea Party Groups

There are no links to the actual documents so I don’t know just how true this is. If it is true, it shows what a treasonous bastard McCain is.
John McCain’s Staff Director Urged Lois Lerner and IRS to Engage in “Financially Ruinous” Targeting of Tea Party Groups
Conservative watchdog group, Judicial Watch obtained IRS documents Thursday revealing backstabber Senator John McCain’s former staff director urged the IRS, including the corrupt Lois Lerner to engage in “financially ruinous” targeting of conservative Tea Party groups.
And they did.
Of course, McCain will deny any of this.

Tom Arnold Vows To Harass Barron Trump At School

This is beyond vile. The Secret Service has been alerted but it still stinks to high heaven. I just pray lots and lots of decent Americans rise up against this slug and all the Leftists who are beyond contemptible. Let them learn what reasonable people can and will do to put an end to this crap.


President Trump Nominates Special Ops Veteran to Head Counterterrorism Group

Retired Vice Admiral Joseph Maguire spent 36 years as a member of various SEAL teams. Who better knows counterterrorism than someone who’s been on the front lines for more than three decades. My only problem is that his service record shows no awards for heroism in combat – maybe because the operations were so deeply classified that they can’t be revealed.
President Trump announced Friday that he's picked Joseph Maguire to lead the National Counterterrorism Center.


Top Navy Enlisted Sailor Retires

Doesn’t make any difference whether he’s guilty or not. In these days of disgusting PC crap, he simply couldn’t do his job.


Senate Fails to Pass President’s Rescission Package

Of course the dingbat from Maine joined up with another one from North Carolina voted against the president’s package to reduce $1.6 BILLION in government spending. And with traitor McCain out – possibly permanently – that strangles the Senate’s ability to work to clean out the Beltway Swamp.
Essentially, Susan Collins runs the country, or at least she exercises a veto over anything Republicans might like to do.
By the way, if dopey Alabama voters hadn’t backed Roy Moore over Luther Strange in last year’s primary, none of this would be true. Nice job, Alabama.
We better turn out in November and get rid of the RINOs and replace them with true conservatives who will help clean up the mess in Washington.


Mexican Officials Want to Stop Security and Immigration Cooperation With US

All to get back at President Trump.
One of the most important reasons why we need to build that border wall.
While announcing the proposal, Ernesto Cordero Arroyo, a senator for the conservative National Action Party, said the US "is a partner, allied in diverse causes and a friend that doesn't deserve a government like that of Donald Trump," adding that Mexico would not support a country that "systematically violates human rights and that doesn't have respect for the life and dignity of people."
Did you know that the US gives Mexico more than $340 million in foreign aid every year? I say it’s damn well time to dry up with well. Give them nothing. They sure aren’t doing a thing to stop the flood coming up from Central America.
Oh yeah. Leading Mexican presidential candidates call for Mexicans to “flood the border” to enter the US and create chaos.


Russia to deliver US new rocket engines

We can’t manufacture our own? What the hell has happened to America’s space program? A couple of private firms seem to be doing quite well with their reusable rockets. Why can’t NASA come up with something similar?


A New Teflon-Type Paint to Make Ships Go Further With Less Fuel

Well, not exactly like Teflon, but something called an omniphobic coating.
It can repel water, oil, alcohol and even peanut butter. And it might save the U.S. Navy millions of dollars in ship fuel costs, reduce the amount of energy that vessels consume and improve operational efficiency.
Seems it and other stuff to reduce rust, deflect barnacles, and make ice removal a cinch are in the works and should be ready in a year or so.


The Best Places To Live In All 50 U.S. States

You can find all sorts of stuff like this by doing a Google Search and most end up being major cities. So pick your state and see whether or not you agree with this guy. I know he’s right about Nevada.

Immigrant Journalist Tweets Photo Out of Context to Fan Migrant Children Debate
They will do everything in their power to make President Trump look bad and negate the 2016 election.

Retired Border Patrol Agent Offers Simple Solution To America’s Illegal Immigration Problem
Who would know better than someone who’s been there and done that?
Just send them back!
What’s so difficult about that. Send them in military aircraft with US Air Force is big letters for other to read. Come here illegally and we’ll put you on a very uncomfortable plane and send you back.

HYPOCRITE! Chuck Schumer Rejects Republican Proposal To Fix Border Crisis
Of course he does! He doesn’t want a solution to the problem. He just wants to divert the media from the president’s positives in the recent future. Kids at the border is nothing but another effort for political gains in the midterms.
Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) on Tuesday dismissed a legislative proposal backed by Republican leaders to keep immigrant families together at the border, arguing that President Trump could fix the problem more easily with a flick of his pen.
There are so many obstacles to legislation and when the president can do it with his own pen, it makes no sense,” Schumer told reporters. “Legislation is not the way to go here when it’s so easy for the president to sign it.”
This shouldn’t surprise anyone with a clear mind.

Military lending Justice Department 21 lawyers to help prosecute border cases
A spokesman, Lt. Col. Jamie Davis, said Thursday that the lawyers have criminal trial experience and will be appointed as full-time special assistant United States attorneys. He said the attorneys will help prosecute border immigration cases with a focus on misdemeanor improper entry and felony illegal entry cases.
Davis said the temporary assignments are to last for 179 days.
[Notice the 179 days? 180 might make it a permanent change of duty.]

Navy’s top enlisted sailor on leave in midst of misconduct investigation
Some little twit complains how tough the Master Chief makes it and the IG gets involved? What the hell is happening to our military.
The investigation was initiated last month following a formal complaint by a sailor working for Giordano, alleging he created a toxic work environment and belittled people who worked for him, often demanding they perform menial tasks, officials said.
Toxic work environment?” “Belittled people who worked or him? Ah, gee whiz. What horrid work conditions are those!
This seems to be consistent throughout our society today. Get a job and be asked to do “menial tasks” and whine about being dehumanized or call is racism based upon racial differences between you and your boss. Our society’s going to hell.

Commie West Point Grad Who Sported a Che Tee Shirt Kicked Out
He is no longer part of the U.S. military after top brass at Fort Drum’s 10th Mountain Division accepted his resignation Monday after an earlier warning for “conduct unbecoming of an officer.” He’s leaving the military with an other-than-honorable discharge.
Great news. The military doesn’t need ignoramuses like that. I’m glad they “suggested” that the best thing he could do was resign. Saved him a courts martial or other disciplinary action.

DOJ Employee Behind Harassment of DHS Secretary
She will keep her job of course until months and months of “investigation” are completed with nothing happening.
One of the activists who chased Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen out of a Mexican restaurant Tuesday night over the Trump administration’s immigration policies is an employee of the Department of Justice, The Daily Caller News Foundation has confirmed.
Members of the Washington, D.C., chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America crashed Nielsen’s meal with a demonstration full of chants and other outbursts.
One of those participants, Allison Hrabar, actually works for the Trump administration — as a paralegal in the DOJ.
Kirstjen Nielsen, you’re a villain, locking up immigrant children,” activists can be heard saying in a video.

White House Releases Sweeping Plan to Restructure Government
Well, well, looka here. Something that makes sense from the Trump Admnistration. It won’t go anywhere in Congress, of course. Senator Patty Murray (Dwash) is already whining about it.
The plan's main proposals include work requirements on assistance programs like SNAP — which provides food stamps — and Medicaid, the renaming of the Department of Health and Human Services to the Department of Health and Public Welfare, and the merger of the Education and Labor departments into one overarching agency called the Department of Education and the Workforce.
Federal oversight of food safety, which had previously fallen under the Food and Drug Administration, would also be reorganized under the USDA's Federal Food Safety Agency under this plan. The Food and Drug Administration would then be renamed to reflect its focus on “drugs, devices, biologics, tobacco, dietary supplements, and cosmetics.”

News That's Hard to Find for June 18, 2018

 
More DOJ IG Reports Coming

And Sessions says, “More Heads Could Roll at DOJ”

So far, I haven’t seen reports of anyone in real trouble from the first report.



The Truth About Separating Kids at the Border

The past practice had been to give a free pass to an adult who is part of a family unit. The new Trump policy is to prosecute all adults. The idea is to send a signal that we are serious about our laws and to create a deterrent against re-entry. (Illegal entry is a misdemeanor, illegal re-entry a felony.)

In other words, they knew that under Obama they could get inside as long As they had kids with them. President Trump has put a stop to that, just as he promised.

Where it becomes much more of an issue is if the adult files an asylum claim. In that scenario, the adults are almost certainly going to be detained longer than the government is allowed to hold their children.

That’s because of something called the Flores Consent Decree from 1997. It says that unaccompanied children can be held only 20 days. A ruling by the Ninth Circuit extended this 20-day limit to children who come as part of family units. So even if we want to hold a family unit together, we are forbidden from doing so.

And where do these “asylum seekers” learn this stuff? Most can barely read and have little or no education. Who tells them to take their kids along so they can get into the US by pleading for asylum?

Giuliani: 'I Didn't Mean' Biden is 'Mentally Deficient Idiot,' 'I Meant That He's Dumb'

Gotta admit the mayor doesn’t hold back. He fits perfectly with President Trump as both say what they mean without apologizing.

Asked to clarify his comments about former Democratic Vice President Joe Biden as being a "mentally deficient idiot," America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is an attorney for President Trump, said he didn't mean it that way but meant to say that Biden is "dumb," because of his class ranking in law school and his instances of plagiarism.



More Women in Government Equals Less Corruption

Research into 125 countries would seem to be rather compelling. There’s a little note hidden in there that indicates one reason is that women have not yet reached the levels where they get access to the networks of corruption. In general though, it seems that more women in government at all levels cleans up things.

The policy implications of the study point towards the need for promoting gender equality in general and promoting the presence of women in politics in particular. Previous research has established that a greater presence of women in government is associated with better education and health outcomes.

Has anyone beside me noticed what an important part women are playing in the Trump administration. He clearly gets it.



Making Diesel Fumes Sweet

I hate getting stuck behind these belching monsters. I think some owners purposely do things to their vehicles that make them do it. However, this indicates there might be something to make it more tolerable.

Waste oil from orange, tea tree and eucalyptus essential oil production mixed with diesel provides a sweet-smelling biofuel blend with comparable performance to diesel-only fuel.

Will it increase the already high cost of the fuel? And this indicates it might increase mileage.



Dogs Speak to Humans With Gestures

Another one of those “studies” paid for by you and me that comes up with results most of us dog people already know. Now, read this and they’ll tell you 19 gestures our four-legged friends use to communicate with us.


Okay, I looked at them and think they’re rather shallow. The dogs I’ve had as friends in my life have a far wider ranging meaning than just wanting toys or food.



The Hill Media Reporter Tired of Media ‘Grandstanding’ Calls for Limits to White House Briefings

Kimmel Proves To Be a Sore Loser, Takes Jab at Cruz After Losing in Charity Game

Majority of Austrians support closing of mosques as govt battles ‘political Islam’

And the Muzzy-loving Left screams “Nazis!” It’s nothing more than Austrians are aware of how close their nation came to being engulfed by the Ottomans several centuries ago.

The Austrian government’s push against “political Islam” has drawn popular support, a recent poll shows. While more than 60 percent approve of the measures, 14 percent of the respondents say they were “too soft.”

A survey conducted by Unique Research for Profile Magazine revealed that 66 percent of Austrians believe the government’s decision to shut down seven mosques and to consider the expulsion of dozens of imams was right.

The number of those who say the approach is “too soft” is higher than those who believe it is “too harsh” – 14 percent to 10 percent. Ten percent of the respondents were undecided.



Warning: Toxic plant can cause 3rd-degree-burns and blindness

Giant hogweed is native to the Caucasus region and Central Asia. It was introduced to Britain as an ornamental plant in the 19th century, and it has also spread to many other parts of Europe, the United States, and Canada.

The sap of giant hogweed causes phytophotodermatitis in humans, resulting in blisters and scars. These serious reactions are due to the furocoumarin derivatives in the leaves, roots, stems, flowers, and seeds of the plant

Don’t use a wee whacker as it can spash the toxic sap onto your skin.



What Democrats Don’t Understand About The History Of Slavery

And slavery still exists today, the majority of slaves held by Muslims.

Slavery is about one group of people subjecting another group to subhuman treatment, whether it’s race-based or not.

It happened all over the world. Race was merely a cover – or a convenient excuse – for this human atrocity.
