Lots and Lots of News for December 4, 2018


Snipes Rescinds Her Resignation
I cringe every time I see a picture of this woman – there’s something evil about her.
Disgraced Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes took back her decision to resign as the county’s elections chief on Saturday after Gov. Rick Scott suspended her from her duties.
She’s gonna fight it.
State law requires the Florida Senate to vote on removing or reinstating county officials if the governor decides to suspend them.
Wonder when that’s going to happen.

Mueller Withheld Exculpatory Evidence from Court to Exonerate Trump
The headline should read: Mueller withhelt evidence from court that would exonerate President Trump.
He’s clearly out to get the president. The Dims will do everything to protect him and the GOP doesn’t have the guts to order an end to the funding of the farcial investigation.
2. Cohen pleaded guilty to making false Statements to the Senate as discussions about the so-called Moscow Project continued 5 months longer in 2016 than Cohen had initially stated under oath….’
On page 7 of the statement of criminal information filed against Cohen, Mueller mentions that Cohen tried to email Putin’s office two times in 2016. But Mueller omitted the fact that Cohen did not have any direct points of contact at the Kremlin….
Page 2 holds additional exculpatory evidence for Trump, sources say. It quotes an August 2017 letter from Cohen to the Senate intelligence committee in which he states that Trump “was never in contact with anyone about this [Moscow Project] proposal other than me.”
Mueller did also not challenge Cohen’s statement that he “ultimately determined that the proposal was not feasible and never agreed to make a trip to Russia.”

President Bush Sr. Once Ordinary Now Extraordinary
I don’t think this piece is an effort to belittle HW. It’s a commentary on how the media tries to inflate itself by reporting on the death of the president.
He was indeed a WWII hero.
He served this country faithfully for his entire life. He didn’t fall back on his father’s wealth but tried to make a life for himself and his family on his own skills.
But that didn’t make him the greatest president of all time.
Former President George Herbert Walker Bush will be universally praised in the wake of his death because it is always the policy of liberals to celebrate the dead Republicans they formerly defamed, as a means to impugn the living Republicans they currently defame. Those of us old enough to remember how liberals hated Bush when he was president (and before that, as vice-president under Ronald Reagan) will not be deceived by their panegyrics to his “civility” and “bipartisanship.”
The country will remember President Bush in a solemn fashion for the next few days and that’s extremely proper.
For myself I’d say the reminder that Mr. Bush’s way of life, once so ordinary in his youth is now at the time of his death, extraordinary to America is the real reason for this country to mourn.

2019 VA Disability Compensation Rates
Updated Veterans Compensation Benefits Rate Tables
Of interest to all disabled veterans. We should receive this notification in the mail but it’s nice to know now. Share with disabled vets you know.
The 2019 VA Disability Compensation Rates are effective as of Dec. 1, 2019. If you receive VA disability pay, you will notice the increased amount in your first check in January 2019. There was a 2.8% increase from 2018, the largest such cost of living adjustment (COLA) since 2012. The government uses the same COLA rates for military retiree pay and several other government benefits.
While 2.8% may not seem like much on the surface, it adds up over time!

No More Judicial Appointments for 2018
Outgoing Arizona Senator Flaky has derailed the appointment of judges for the remainder of his tenure in office. All because he wants the Senate to vote on a measure to keep Mueller from being fired. And there’s no way such a law could be constitutional and, if he has a staff at all, they’ve probably told him that.
A spoiled little brat having his final temper tantrum.
It won’t do him a bit of good as the Senate will increase its GOP majority o Jan 3 and the new judges will probably take office in March or April.
Go home little boy.

Kid Rock Calls Joy Behar a Bitch
And he did it live on Fox& Friends. Of course, Steve Doocy almost had a heart attack and the network instantly apologized.
Why?
He was absolutely right.
But Kid Rock had a slightly diverging opinion and jumped in to decry political correctness saying, “God forbid you say something a little bit wrong you’re racist, homophobic, Islamophobic… people need to calm down, a get a little less politically correct, and, I would say love everybody. Except I’d say screw that Joy Behar bitch, everybody but that.”
I’m really sorry I missed it. He was opening his restaurant and the size of the steaks he was serving those present for the opening was astonishing.
Abby Huntsman Battles ‘The View’ Co-Hosts: No One Gives Trump Credit for Anything ‘He Does Right’ @ https://www.breitbart.com/video/2018/11/30/abby-huntsman-battles-the-view-co-hosts-no-one-gives-trump-credit-for-anything-he-does-right/
I sure hope she’s making lots of $$$$ for putting up with those “bitches.”

USNS Comfort Treating Patients in Central and South America
There to provide medical care to Venezuelans who’ve fled to Colombia and other nearby countries. Those nations simply do not have the medical capabilities to help.
 
Twenty major operations every day
They are then flown back to land.
And you sure as hell won’t see anything about this in the Lame Street Media.

Tear gas fired in clashes in Paris
Lets see our media raise hell about that like they did over our Border Patrol using similar stuff on the riff raff trying to force their way into our country.
Wanna bet?
Police fired tear gas, stun grenades and a water cannon on the Champs-Elysées, while masked protesters hurled projectiles and set buildings on fire.
What began as protests over President Macron's fuel tax has transformed into general anger at high living costs.
Mr Macron says his fuel policies are needed to combat global warming.
At least 80 people have been injured, including 14 members of the security forces.

US Shows Weapons Iran Has Given to Terrorists
We gave the Iranians pallets of cash and they’ve used it to arm terrorists. I’m sure these are but a few of the weapons provided.
"Qiam" ballistic missile manufactured in Iran,
Sayyad-2 surface-to-air missle
Qasef-1 drone
Shahed-123 unmanned aerial vehicle
KL-7.62 rifles.
107mm Fadjr rockets.

Germany now offering to pay migrants to go back home
Do you think other European countries will wake up and do the same?
As Germany still struggles to balance its migration policy, the Interior Ministry has apparently decided to take one of the issues into its own hands and, through an ad campaign, boost the numbers of voluntary repatriations.
The ministry, led by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Bavarian ally Horst Seehofer, decided to lure potential repatriates with a supposedly bright future awaiting them in their countries of origin – as well as a sort of a complimentary gift should they agree to go home voluntarily.
The ads, which were placed on the billboards in major German cities in mid-November, featured a cheerful slogan that read: “Your country! Your future! Now!”
The ads also offered those who grab the unique opportunity before the end of 2018 a bonus in the form of the German government paying their rental costs in their countries of origin for the next year. In return, the refugees have to take back their asylum applications and renounce further legal proceedings to remain in Germany.

Austrian chapel will sound Islamic prayer call fives times daily for 21 days before Christmas [video]
I really have my hopes up that my favorite European country had not succumbed to the evils of Satan’s Cult.
Breitbart News reports:  The noise is considered “a special kind of audiovisual experience,” when recordings of muezzin calls, which were taped in Algeria, Mozambique, Istanbul, and Singapore, are played from the chapel of the Upper Austrian Cultural Quarter’s Ursuline Church.

Tijuana Migrant Camp Now Looks Like National Mall After Climate Change Rally
I love the word picture. But, all one has to do is to watch the video at the above link to see just how bad it is. Doesn’t say where they were moved to but I can guess cleaning up the mess they left is going to be a massive, disgusting job.
As Twitchy reported Thursday night, Mexico was struggling to try to provide shelter and sanitation for 6,000 members of the migrant caravan (that doesn’t exist and would never get here anyway) in a space built for maybe half that many.
Edgar Corzo, who heads Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission’s migrant rights division, called the situation “unmanageable” and added that they’d discovered four cases of chicken pox, while an aid group said it was “dealing with lice and nit infestations as well as many respiratory infections.”

Migrant mother says she was “forced” to join caravan organized by Soros-funded organization
Only the brain-dead Left would not know this is what is going on with the caravan. There is no other way the members could be receiving their tents, backpacks, clothes, and food without money from somewhere. They sure didn’t have it to start with.
The group organizing asylum entry/numbers is Pueblo Sin Fronteras (“People Without Borders”), a George Soros-linked open-borders organization that has financially organized the transportation of several caravans of Central Americans in an attempt to get them asylum in the U.S.
Another organization is the Los Angeles-based Al Otro Lado (“To the other side”), which acts as a mediator between Pueblo Sin Fronteras and the migrants. They are currently helping them learn how to answer certain “questions” asked by U.S. immigration officials about their asylum applications.
Pueblo Sin Fronteras is also supported by the coalition CARA Family Detention Pro Bono Project, which includes Catholic Legal Immigration Network, the American Immigration Council, the Refugee, and Immigration Center for Education and Legal Services and the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
At least three of the four groups are funded By George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, WND confirmed.
The only thing the article doesn’t explain is how she joined the caravan in Honduras. I suspect it was at the behest of her village priest or other Catholic functionary.

Mexico’s New President Quickly Signs Legislation Aimed at Shutting Down Migrant Caravans @ https://www.westernjournal.com/mexicos-new-president-quickly-signs-legislation-aimed-shutting-migrant-caravans/
And, of course, it doesn’t do a thing right away for the thousands camped out in Tijuana. It’s all about asking the US to pony up big bucks to make more jobs in Central America as well as offering jobs to caravan members in Mexico. Which they don’t want to do.
Profound, radical transformation will end corruption, impunity’—President López Obrador @ https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/radical-transformation-will-end-corruption/
He arrived for his inauguration in a VW and refuses to live in the presidential palace. He’s also returning the presidential jet to Boeing and has ordered the sale of 17 executive helicopters.
. . . By the mandate of the people, today we start Mexico’s fourth political transformation. It may seem pretentious or exaggerated, but today is not just the start of a new government, today a new political regime begins,” the new president told lawmakers and dignitaries gathered at the legislative palace of San Lázaro.
Starting from now, a peaceful and orderly – but at the same time profound and radical – transformation will take place because the corruption and impunity that impede the rebirth of Mexico will come to an end,” López Obrador said.
I saw a whole lot of sour faces from entrenched politicians while the crowds roared their approval of him.
How long will it last and at what point will he be assassinated?

Can you believe this?

Border Patrol Agent describes what violence at the border looks like
They throw rocks at agents and they’re sure as hell not harmless. And, our agents aren’t allowed to fight back. I’d love to see them at least be able to use rubber bullets to put the scum who throw rocks at them down.
The video is a Twitter feed to you’ll have to click on it to see it.

Most Migrant Households Rely on Welfare
This appears to be a valid site for such information with good information.
63% of Non-Citizen Households Access Welfare Programs
Compared to 35% of native households
13 tables of data and 2 figures to back it all up. This outfit clearly did one heck of a lot of research to come up with the findings.
New "public charge" rules issued by the Trump administration expand the list of programs that are considered welfare, receipt of which may prevent a prospective immigrant from receiving lawful permanent residence (a green card).
Let’s see the Dims scream and holler and do everything they can to stop any changes to illegals receiving welfare. It’s what makes them vote for them.

How to fix Gaza
This whole piece appears to be nothing but wishful thinking. It says the only way to “fix” the problem of the Gaza Strip is to get Israel, The Palestinian Authority, and Hamas to work together. It also calls for Hamas to give up its weapons.
Fat chance!
There’s no way Iran is going to allow its clients to ever seek peace with Israel. Never.
The biggest losers in all of this are the nearly two million people of Gaza, which is just twice the size of Washington, D.C. They live in terrible conditions, with an economy that has nearly ground to halt. As only a few hundred Palestinians, on average, are able to exit Gaza every day, unemployment has risen to one of the highest rates on earth—over 50 percent. Severe shortages of electricity and clean drinking water also plague Gaza—97 percent of the water in its aquifer is unfit for human consumption. Meanwhile, the people of southern Israel are routinely subject to rocket fire and the burning of their fields by incendiary kites.
