Walter Mitty at the Negotiating Table – American Greatness
Walter Mitty at the Negotiating Table – American Greatness:
Far better would be a criminal investigation into possible violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Ultimately, it was a FARA violation that nailed Flynn and became the basis for several other indictments from the never-ending Mueller Investigation. As Michael Rubin points out, FARA “covers not only formal lobbying, but also providing advice to foreign governments or individuals about how to change or circumvent U.S. law.”
Kerry might counter that he was merely trying to act as an honest broker among parties, including the U.S. government. He would claim that he never actively represented a foreign government, but merely related concerns, positions, and discussed possible courses of action with the various governments.
Fine, let him prove it. Let’s see his communications, his emails, his phone and travel records. Let’s see his notes from these discussions and conversations.

Attorney in Tibbetts Murder Trial: Illegal Has 'Constitutional Right' to Taxpayer Money
Attorney in Tibbetts Murder Trial: Illegal Has 'Constitutional Right' to Taxpayer Money
"The defense attorneys representing the illegal alien accused of murdering 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts say it is the foreign national’s “constitutional right” to receive American taxpayer funding to fight the murder charges against him.
As Breitbart News reported this week, 24-year-old illegal alien Cristhian Bahena-Rivera has been given $5,000 in U.S. taxpayer dollars to hire an independent investigative team to fight the murder charges against him.
Last month, law enforcement officials announced that Tibbetts’ body was found in a cornfield in her rural hometown of Brooklyn, Iowa after she was last seen jogging on July 18.
Illegal alien Cristhian Bahena-Rivera, a 24-year-old from Mexico, has been charged with first-degree murder in Tibbetts’ death
...Bahena-Rivera’s defense attorneys argued in court, as noted by KCRG, that the illegal alien has a “constitutional right to a full and complete defense and equal protection under the law” and therefore is entitled to the $5,000 in taxpayer funding to fight the murder charges..."

Donald Trump orders declassification of Russia probe documents - Washington Times:
President Trump on Monday ordered the declassification of FISA court documents and Justice Department text messages related to the Russia probe.
The House and Senate intelligence committee Republicans have been seeking the FISA documents, warrant applications that could shed light on how the FBI in 2016 justified spying on Carter Page, a Trump campaign official.

Just a few days after the election, the Google CEO can be heard promising to prevent alleged “fake news” from impacting future elections by investing in “machine learning and A.I.” Pichai also tells employees that the company’s D.C. office has already begun the work of “engaging with the transition team of the new administration.”

This isn't a "post-truth" age, it is a no-truth age where accusations rule - and the more unprovable the accusation, the better.
This is the age of scorched earth where only the agenda matters.
This is your Democrat Party in 2018.
In 1944, F.A. Hayek laid it all out for us:
"Advancement within a totalitarian group or party depends largely on a willingness to do immoral things.
The principle that the end justifies the means, which in individualist ethics is regarded as the denial of all morals, in collectivist ethics becomes necessarily the supreme rule.
There is literally nothing which the consistent collectivist must not be prepared to do if it serves “the good of the whole,” because that is to him the only criterion of what ought to be done.
Once you admit that the individual is merely a means to serve the ends of the higher entity called society or the nation, most of those features of totalitarianism which horrify us follow of necessity.
From the collectivist standpoint intolerance and brutal suppression of dissent, deception and spying, the complete disregard of the life and happiness of the individual are essential and unavoidable..."

"Another climate-change claim by former Vice President Al Gore is coming under fire, this one involving Hurricane Florence.
"Another climate-change claim by former Vice President Al Gore is coming under fire, this one involving Hurricane Florence.
...“This is the first time in history that two major storms are making landfall from the Atlantic and the Pacific simultaneously,” Mr. Gore told the crowd at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco, which wrapped up Friday.
...“Al Gore just (fraudulently) claimed without any evidence that we’ve never had hurricanes in both the Atlantic and Pacific making landfall at the same time,” tweeted Mr. Maue, an adjunct scholar at the free-market Cato Institute.

University of Colorado Boulder meteorologist Roger A. Pielke Sr. also took issue with the claim by Mr. Gore, known for his 2006 climate-change film, An Inconvenient Truth, and the 2017 follow-up, An Inconvenient Sequel.
“Such statements show that he is not familiar with the history of tropical cyclone landfalls,” said Mr. Pielke in an email.

Franklin Graham Slams Jim Carrey For Advocating 'Yes to Socialism'
Franklin Graham Slams Jim Carrey For Advocating 'Yes to Socialism':
He continued, "Winston Churchill wisely said, 'Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.' He also said, 'The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.' Under socialism in Eastern Europe, churches were burned and pastors were imprisoned. In Russia, every Orthodox priest was killed."
"Just 90 miles from our shores, the people of Cuba have lived in misery for years," said Rev. Graham. "The Castros killed hundreds of priests and pastors and imprisoned others. Venezuela today is experiencing a historic human migration as millions are fleeing socialism and the poverty that it brings."

Maduro's huge salary increases force 40% percent of Venezuelan stores to close | International | fltimes.com
Maduro's huge salary increases force 40% percent of Venezuelan stores to close | International | fltimes.com:
"Nearly 40 percent of all Venezuelan stores have closed —some of them perhaps permanently —after the government of President Nicolas Maduro increased the minimum salary by nearly 3,500 percent in one fell swoop, according the National Council of Commerce and Services of Venezuela.
Many of the companies, which had been barely surviving the gradual collapse of the economy, saw the salary increase and other changes announced last month as the fatal blow in a series of policies that have been gradually strangling their businesses.
"These decisions are leading many business people to say, 'No, I can't do it any more,'" said Maria Carolina Uzcategui, president of the council.
The problem is that Venezuelan companies are being forced to sell at prices far below cost just as employee salaries are increasing 60 times, Uzcategui said..."

Duped by Diversity | Dr. Helen"Heather MacDonald, author of The Diversity Delusion: How Race and Gender Pandering Corrupt the University and Undermine Our Culture, has an op-ed in the Daily News:
Another new college year, another opportunity to teach students that “America was never that great,” to quote Gov. Cuomo.
From the moment that college students set foot on campus, they will be inundated with the message that the United States in particular and Western civilization in general are the world’s primary sources of oppression and injustice.
That idea is rapidly infusing the world outside academia, as Cuomo’s recent comment suggests.
Here is what to expect over the next nine months.

Democrats Release Tax Hike Plan
Democrats Release Tax Hike Plan:
This week, Congressional Democrats released a detailed tax hike plan that they promised to implement if given majority control of the House and Senate after the 2018 midterm elections. So much for the crocodile tears about the deficit--Democrats want to raise taxes not to reduce the debt, but rather to spend that tax hike money on boondoggle projects.
As you might expect, hold onto your wallets. Here are the details:

Only two generations ago, the British held off the Nazis.
Now, they find themselves invaded and occupied by savages who are not there merely to rule but to displace them from their own country.
That’s how fast Leftism can weaken a civilization.

Remember this?-----FLOOD FLASHBACK: Accusing Team Bush of Staging, 'Today' Gets Caught in Canoe Stunt of Its Own
FLOOD FLASHBACK: Accusing Team Bush of Staging, 'Today' Gets Caught in Canoe Stunt of Its Own
October 14, 2005 7:10 AM EDT
EDITOR'S NOTE: This was the first "classic" NewsBusters video, demonstrating how the networks could get caught staging the "news" in disaster areas. Take another look.
In a deliciously ironic twist of fate, shortly before airing a segment aimed at embarrassing the Bush administration by suggesting that it had staged a video conversation between the president and soldiers in Iraq, the Todayshow was caught staging . . . a video stunt.
In the Bush/Iraq segment, Today screened footage indicating that prior to engaging in a video conversation with President Bush, soldiers on the ground in Iraq were given tips by a Department of Defense official.
But the only advice that the official was shown as giving was a suggestion to one soldier to "take a little breath" before speaking to the president so he would actually be speaking to him. It was also stated that some of the soldiers practiced their comments so as to appear as articulate as possible. But there was no indication, or even allegation, that the soldiers were coached as to the substance of their comments or in any way instructed what to say.
Today's timing couldn't have been worse.
A preceding segment focused on the incessant rains and ensuing flooding in the northeast.
For days now, beautiful, blonde - and one senses highly ambitious - young reporter Michelle Kosinski has been on the scene for Today in New Jersey, working the story.
In an apparent effort to draw attention to herself, in yesterday's segment she turned up in hip waders, standing thigh-deep in the flood waters.
