President Trump speaks at the UN: .targets rogue regimes...threatens to destroy
NKorea...'Rocket Man on suicide mission'... draws applause for blasting Iran.. “Socialism
delivers anguish and failure”….former UN ambassador John Bolton says best
speech of his presidency.
“Over the years, a curious habit has taken hold at the
United Nations. A body designed to strengthen the best of humanity has too
often become a font of doublespeak and appeasement that protects the worst of
humanity. That tragic comity was shattered when President Trump played the
skunk at the garden party and dared to tell the truth.”
Lowry: As someone
said on Twitter, never before has been there so much murmuring of “holy sh**”
in so many different languages. Donald Trump’s speech at the United Nations was
a sometimes awkward marriage of conventional Republican foreign policy and a
very basic version of Trump’s nationalism. …….If the point of the speech was to
get the world to take notice, this surely succeeded.”

President Trump persuaded China to freeze all financial

effectively cuts off that entity from engaging in commerce or economic activity
with the United States.”

Government Wiretapped Former Trump Campaign Manager Paul Manafort… Call it
Watergate 2.0, the unthinkable wiretapping of a presidential candidate by the

the United States.

Democratic Party leaders this week said President Trump had
agreed to make a deal on illegal aliens. Chuck and Nancy carefully said
"excluding the wall," meaning that was off the table. The press
interpreted this as the wall was falling. There will be no wall, they reported.
And they laughed at Trump supporters and called us fools -- and then the House
passed a $1.6 billion appropriation for the wall.

COLUMN OF THE WEEK
Investor’s Business Daily 9/20
The
U.S. government under President Obama wiretapped former Trump campaign Chair
Paul Manafort in New York's Trump Tower under "secret court orders before
and after the election," CNN reported, citing "three sources familiar
with the investigation." Assuming CNN's report is true, it means President
Trump, who was ridiculed earlier this year for claiming that his iconic
building had been wiretapped, has been massively vindicated. But don't hold
your breath waiting for an apology.
Just
months ago, Trump was called a liar and worse for his tweets alleging that
Obama had Trump Tower wiretapped……..
The
entire investigation into alleged Trump campaign ties to Russian meddling in
the 2016 presidential election appears to center on the wiretaps of Manafort,
whose consulting work included some foreign political groups, including in
Ukraine. Even so, top U.S. intelligence officials have steadfastly and
adamantly denied
any wiretap of Trump. "With respect to the president's tweets about
alleged wiretapping directed at him by the prior administration, I have no information
that supports those tweets, and we have looked carefully inside the FBI,"
former FBI Director James Comey told the House Intelligence Committee last
March. Comey was under oath.
National
Intelligence Director James Clapper also denied any wiretap, telling NBC in
March that he would have known about a "court order on something like
this." Clapper denied to Congress that any of the intelligence agencies he
oversaw wiretapped Trump, and said the FBI did not get a court order from the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) — the only court that can grant
a domestic wiretap on grounds of national security — to tap Trump's
phones.
A
host of others, including some Republicans in Congress, likewise publicly
dissed Trump's claims. If CNN's report proves true, those who lied will no
doubt say, "We didn't wiretap Trump; we wiretapped Manafort." But
that cutesy, specious logic comes up short, both legally and ethically. In
tapping Manafort, they knew they were getting Trump's many intimate conversations
with him. That's how they could go to FISA and say it wasn't about Trump, but
about Manafort. It was in fact a roundabout way of getting Trump in trouble,
possibly even impeached.
As
the CNN report said, "The government snooping continued into early this year,
including a period when Manafort was known to talk to President Trump." And
the wiretaps were used to feed the ongoing investigation of Robert Mueller of
the Trump campaign's alleged ties to Russian interference in the 2016 election.
This,
by the way, puts a new gloss on why President Obama did nothing at all when
first presented with evidence in the summer of 2016 that the Russians might be
hacking our election. It was a way to take down the Democrats' biggest threat,
the unpredictable Donald Trump.
As
has been noted previously, President Obama didn't have authority on his own to
request a wiretap of a U.S. citizen. That requires the Justice Department. But
that doesn't mean he didn't make it happen. The Justice Department was then
headed by Loretta Lynch — one of the most politicized Attorneys-General in U.S.
history, known for repeatedly bending the truth in her public comments. So it's
not a stretch to think that, with a nod and a wink, Obama encouraged Lynch to
go after Trump. He had every reason to do so, given that Hillary Clinton at the
time seemed to be the only hope for Obama's progressive legacy to live on.
"It
was the Comey-led FBI in the Lynch-led DOJ, in the Obama presidency, that
reportedly used the FISA Court to obtain a warrant, quite possibly based on the
phony (Russian) dossier, that has provided material to get Manafort and
pressure him to find something to squeal about and catch a higher-up," wrote
Thomas Lifson
at the American Thinker. "The legitimacy of that warrant now is in
question."
We'll
take that a step further. The entire Russia investigation, which was
manipulated into being by Obama administration holdovers working with
congressional Democrats, now appears to be a fraud. More than a year after the
government began looking into the charges, no proof of any wrongdoing or crime
has been produced.
This
is a tragic turn in American democracy, when a sitting president has a
political foe spied upon by our own intelligence agencies. It's time to wind
down the Russia probe and begin looking into the real scandal: Whether the
Obama administration illegally used the intelligence apparatus of the U.S. to
try to neutralize a political opponent. If it did, it's a serious crime that
warrants a real criminal investigation — not Mueller's political witch hunt.
Newt Gingrich: “this
may be the most egregious abuse of the criminal justice process in American
history…….the country that you and I know is under siege by a deep state which
illegally wants to create a very different America and is willing to break the
wall and abuse the law……This is a radically bigger scandal than anything about
Russia,”

“[Trump] said as president of the United States he will
always put his country’s interests first, just as each [UN member] would put
their country’s interests first. The UN rank and file apparently couldn’t
understand that idea, unfortunately, because most of them routinely put
themselves first, not their own countries. … In the real world probably half of
the UN people who come to New York are not coming to work for world peace and
greater prosperity. They’re coming to see their mistresses and rack up hundreds
of unpaid parking tickets.”

GLOBALONEY
Global warming is "settled science," we hear all
the time. Those who reject that idea are "deniers." But as new
evidence trickles out from peer-reviewed science studies, the legs beneath the
climate change hypothesis are increasingly wobbly. A new study admits that the 12
major university and government models that have been used to predict climate
warming are faulty……Based on the growing evidence, who are the real deniers?
Liberals want us to turn control of our economy over to
them, not because their stewardship has been successful in the past–heh–but
because if we don’t, the Earth faces imminent climate catastrophe in the form
of global warming. Some (e.g., liberal reporters) accept such claims
uncritically, while the rest of us want to see evidence. In this debate, there
are two types of evidence. The first is the raw material of science,
observation. The second is climate models created by alarmists for the purpose
of generating scary scenarios. Anyone with the slightest acquaintance with
science understands that observation trumps theory

ARTICLES
“It’s safe to say that none of his many enemies in the
global elites anticipated an intellectual challenge from Donald Trump. He
doesn’t look or talk or act the way they think an intellectual should. Yet
somehow, he has placed them in a box. In his UN debut, he challenged the intellectual
basis of the world order they are working towards. He personally addressed many
of the political leaders in the audience when he said: …you, as the leaders of
your countries will always, and should always, put your countries first.”
Sharyl Attkisson: “It
looks like Obama did spy on Trump, just as he apparently did to me” In her
case, “I have spent more than two years litigating against the Department of
Justice for the computer intrusions. Forensics have revealed dates, times and
methods of some of the illegal activities. The software used was proprietary to
a federal intel agency. The intruders deployed a keystroke monitoring program,
accessed the CBS News corporate computer system, listened in on my
conversations by activating the computer’s microphone and used Skype to
exfiltrate files.”

A
new survey from NBC News/Wall Street Journal is the perfect example of the utter worthlessness of public
polling as it relates to the implementation of government policy. In the poll,
which covers numerous political topics, one question stands out: “Would you
favor or oppose a single-payer health care system in which all Americans would
get their health insurance from one government plan that is financed by Taxes?”
To this question, 47% said they “favored” such a system, 46% said they
“opposed,” and 7% said they were “not sure.” However, when pollsters added a
bit of specificity to the question, the results changed rather dramatically.

every event they create is around one of those factors if not more…..The right,
we are about legal and illegal. Is it lawful? Are you a law- abiding citizen? I
don't care what color you are. If you are a law- abiding citizen, I'm okay with
that. If you are not, I'm not.”
