TERRORISTS
ARE
EVIL
LOSERS
IN LIFE
Two shorties today…
1.) I’ve tired of reading all the “thoughts and prayers” messages from folks AFTER a terrorist attack. When are we going to accept that we’re in a life-and-death war with these radical Islamic barbarians and do something serious BEFORE they murder and maim innocent victims, including blowing up little teenage girls attending a pop concert?
Starting with immediately enacting President Trump’s temporary travel ban on seven known terrorist-laced countries.

2.) Federal spending is out of control. We all know it. We’re bankrupting the nation – and our kids and grandkids are gonna be left holding the bag.
President Trump BOLDLY took the bull by the horns and proposed a budget this week that actually CUTS spending. That’s called “leadership.” But whiny politicians with their heads in a place where they can see their own pancreas have come out of the woodwork attacking bits and pieces of it.
Fine. If you don’t like Trump’s cuts, what’s your alternative? Tax hikes? On who? By how much? Or what would you cut instead? Don’t just sit up there in the peanut gallery and cast stones. If you can’t give us a better idea, then shut the hell up!
That is all.
Cheers.

P.S. Understandably, readers LOVED that Morgan Freeman interview where he took CNN’s Don Lemon to school over claims that race keeps minorities from succeeding in the United States, calling the notion “bullsh*t.”
The link to the story contained an edited version of the video. Thanks to subscriber Rusty Stanberry, here’s the link to the FULL interview.

Congress Is Demanding A Memo And Its Bad News For Loretta Lynch
Washington is on fire with the revelation that former FBI Director Jim Comey wrote a memo claiming Donald Trump asked him to call off the investigation into former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
But there is another Comey memo floating around.
And it’s bad news for Loretta Lynch.
Republican Congressman Pete Sessions is demanding Comey turn over any memos regarding Loretta Lynch’s meeting with former President Bill Clinton that took place during the investigation into Hillary’s email server.
The Daily Caller reports:
“A House Republican wants to see the entire memo from former FBI Director James Comey on President Trump asking him to drop the investigation of Michael Flynn, as well as any memo Comey might have composed on the infamous meeting Bill Clinton had with Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
“If the New York Times has [Comey’s memo] that means we’re going to be able to see it and I would assume that would be fair. I assume that Mr. Comey also kept, if he’s disturbed by the same memos, that he gave to or about when Mrs. Clinton’s husband appeared in the jet with the attorney general,” Texas Republican Rep. Pete Sessions told The Daily Caller Tuesday.
“So I assume that memo would be available to us also. And I would assume that we will see a number of disturbing trends that took place at the Department of Justice [during the Obama administration] for whatever he’s claiming and I’ll look forward to seeing all those,” Sessions said. “But I cannot comment, because I have not seen them but I would assume that Mr. Comey that if he kept one on this visit, evidently, he has others now look forward to seeing those.”
Most House Republican currently have a “wait and see” approach to recent White House controversies, which include accusations President Trump revealed classified information to a Russian official.”
The meeting prompted Comey to usurp Lynch’s role as Attorney General and decide that Hillary Clinton would not face criminal charges.
Comey described that as the capper where he believed the Department of Justice was fatally compromised in the investigation.
The New York Post reports:
“Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s surprise meeting with Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac last year convinced FBI Director James Comey there was no way the Justice Department could conduct an independent probe of Hillary Clinton, Comey testified on Wednesday.
“A number of things had gone on which I can’t talk about yet, that made me worry that the department leadership could not credibly complete the investigation and decline prosecution without grievous damage to the American people’s confidence in the justice system,” Comey told the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“And then the capper was — and I’m not picking on the attorney general, Loretta Lynch, who I like very much — but her meeting with President Clinton on that airplane was the capper for me, and I then said, you know what, the department cannot, by itself, credibly end this,” he said.
The FBI chief said that at the time he was preparing to announce the results of the investigation into the former first lady on his own because he didn’t think other top officials at Justice would sound credible doing it themselves.”
Lynch’s meeting with Bill and Comey’s decision are shrouded in mystery.
Critics believe Comey let Clinton off because he didn’t want to be the one to deny the first female candidate her place as President.
Others argued the fix was in the whole time and the investigation was never legitimate.
If Comey wrote memos about his meetings with Trump, did he also write ones about meetings with Obama and officials who worked under him, like Loretta Lynch?
What would they show?
FITTON: Obama Final Travel Tally Nearly $100 Million
by TOM FITTON
There may be no better way to keep on eye on our leader’s penchant for pretending to royalty than to tally the cost of their travel and accommodations.
Our nation has granted its presidents exquisite transport because we need our leaders to be efficient and safe. However, we don’t need for them to luxuriate on our tax dollars.
As you know, we have carefully tracked the travel costs President Obama incurred, and we have an update on that last week. We have obtained records from the Secret Service and the Air Force in response to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests that show Obama family travel cost taxpayers a grand total of $99,714,527.82.
The newly obtained Obama White House era travel records show:
-
The March 2014 trip to Key Largo during Spring Break – where the First Family stayed at the exclusive Ocean Reef Club – cost the Secret Service $247,827.50: $182,120.33 for hotels and $65,707.17 in travel expenses. The total cost of that trip, with previously released $885,683 in flight costs from the Air Force, is $1,133,510.50.
-
Other documents show that Michelle Obama’s February 2015 Aspen vacation cost the Secret Service a total of $64,807.41: $47,109.28 for hotels, $3,559.43 in rental cars and $14,138.70 in other travel expenses. The total cost of the trip, with $57,068.80 in flight costs from previously released Air Force records, is $121,876.21.
-
Judicial Watch released documents from the Air Force concerning the 2016-2017 Obama family Christmas trip to Honolulu showing 17.9 hours flying at $142,380 per hour, bringing the total flight cost to $2,548,602.
We have also filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for Secret Service records associated with President Obama’s movements, schedule, and activities since his departure from the White House. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security (No. 1:17-cv-00928)).
The suit was filed after the Secret Service failed to respond to a March 24, 2017, FOIA request seeking:
All records of former President Barack Obama’s movements, schedule, activities, and/or meeting for January 21, 2017 through March 21, 2017. Such records include, but are not limited to, U.S. Secret Service schedules and activity reports.
Although Obama is no longer in office, he continues to receive Secret Service protection at taxpayer expense. In January, the Obama family traveled to Palm Springs, CA. The former president also spent a few weeks in French Polynesia. And all the while, taxpayers paid the protection tab.
For eight long years, the Obamas spent our tax dollars for a lavish jet-setting lifestyle. Many in the media only focus on President Trump’s travel, but Barack Obama continues to cost taxpayers with his luxury travel, and we aim to document it.
Of course, we are also actively tracking the travel expenses of President Trump. On May 4, we released records from the Department of the Air Force in response to FOIA requests that show President Trump’s flights to Mar-a-Lago for two weekends (in February and March) cost $1,281,420.00. And, as I told the Washington Post, since he is spending taxpayer dollars, Trump may want to consider using the presidential retreat of Camp David, a short helicopter ride from the White House, for his weekend getaways.
Alan Dershowitz: Flynn in 'Serious Trouble' on Russia
Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn "is in serious trouble" as Congress seeks to subpoena records of his two businesses, Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said Tuesday.
"I wonder why his lawyer sought immunity in such a public way," Dershowitz told Anderson Cooper on CNN. "That's just not the way it's done."
In March, Flynn's attorney, Robert Kelner, told The Wall Street Journal that his client would voluntarily be interviewed by Congress or the FBI in exchange for immunity.
"General Flynn certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit," Kelner said.
He said that no "reasonable person" with legal counsel would answer questions without assurances that he would not be prosecuted, especially since some congressional members have said that Flynn should face criminal charges for his Russia dealings.
The leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee said Tuesday that they would subpoena two Flynn's businesses after he refused to comply with a subpoena for documents in its investigation.
"If you want immunity, you go to the committee or you go to the prosecutor," Dershowitz told Cooper. "You make what's called a proffer.
"You tell them what you have and what you can give them.
"Then the government, the leaders of the committee, or the prosecutor decides whether your evidence is worth immunizing you," the retired professor said. "I don't know whether that's happened.
"It should never happen in public. It should be done in private."
Classified Documents Show Obama Spied on Americans for Years
Describing them as “serious constitutional abuses,” a Circa report has revealed that previously top secret documents show that President Barack Obama spied on Americans for years.
The National Security Agency (NSA), according to the report, “routinely violated American privacy protections” and “failed to disclose the extent of the problems until the final days before Donald Trump was elected president.”
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) claim these newly disclosed violations rank as some of the most serious to ever be documented.
Neema Singh Guliani, the ACLU’s legislative counsel in Washington, said “I think what this emphasizes is the shocking lack of oversight of these programs.”
Even more shocking, the data picked up by the NSA affected one in every twenty Americans.
More than 5 percent, or one out of every 20 searches seeking upstream Internet data on Americans inside the NSA’s so-called Section 702 database violated the safeguards Obama and his intelligence chiefs vowed to follow in 2011, according to one classified internal report reviewed by Circa.
The Obama administration self-disclosed the problems at a closed-door hearing Oct. 26 before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that set off alarm. Trump was elected less than two weeks later.

Senator Rand Paul caused a bit of an uproar when he claimed earlier this month that he and another Senator may have been under surveillance by the former administration.
“I know one other senator who’s already confided to me that he was surveilled by the Obama administration, including his phone calls,” Paul told Fox News.
Did the Obama admin use warrantless “wiretapping” on other candidates besides @realDonaldTrump? https://t.co/h7rsjvNLHM
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) May 5, 2017
That report cited by Paul lifted the curtain on Obama’s surveillance efforts, saying the administration “significantly expanded efforts to search National Security Agency intercepts for information about Americans, distributing thousands of intelligence reports across government with the unredacted names of U.S. residents during the midst of a divisive 2016 presidential election.”
Now it appears that the spying had been “significantly expanded” to include every day Americans, as well as members of Congress.
It wasn’t that long ago when the media and Democrats were mocking President Trump for being paranoid about the previous administration spying on him. Turns out, Trump was right again.

Trump: Israel And Palestine ‘Ready To Reach For Peace’
"Suddenly, hope has come about."
By Andrew Kerr
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he believes Israeli and Palestinian leaders “are ready to reach for peace.”
“The Palestinians are ready to reach for peace. I know you’ve heard it before. I am telling you, that’s what I do. They are ready to reach for peace,” Trump said after meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Trump said that his “very good friend,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is also ready to reach for peace.
“And my meeting with my very good friend Benjamin. I can tell you also that he is reaching for peace. He wants peace. He loves people. He especially loves the Israeli people. Benjamin Netanyahu wants peace,” Trump said.
The president, who has previously said achieving peace is “maybe not as difficult as people have thought,” acknowledged Tuesday that accomplishing the goal would be no easy task.
“Making peace, however, will not be easy. We all know that. Both sides will face tough decisions. But with determination, compromise and the belief that peace is possible, Israelis and Palestinians can make a deal,” Trump said.
“My administration is committed to pursuing such a coalition, and we have already made substantial progress during this trip. We know, for instance, that both Israelis and Palestinians seek lives of hope for their children. And we know that peace is possible if we put aside the pain and disagreements of the past and commit together to finally resolving this crisis, which has dragged on for nearly half a century or more,” the president said.
The president’s optimism was mirrored by both Netanyahu and Abbas. Both said the time was right to strive for peace in the region.
“President Trump, working with you, I believe we can advance a global peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors as well as the Palestinians,” Netanyahu said.
Israeli opposition leader Isaac Herzog told CNN before Trump’s speech that he, too, believes peace is possible, noting a change in tensions in the region amid efforts by Trump’s team of negotiators.
“When Trump was elected, the settlers here celebrated and were sure they were going for annexation. Today, this right, ultra-right-wing government has frozen settlement construction and has given Palestinians construction in [the] Area C [portion of the West Bank],” Herzog said, referring to recent decisions made by Netanyahu’s governing coalition.
“Suddenly, hope has come about,” Herzog added. “There is a moment to seize. An opportunity to seize. One needs to seize it, show leadership and boldness, and we will help them.”
Trump has opted for a different strategy from his predecessors to achieve peace between Israel and Palestine. Instead of laying out guidelines for the two sides to adhere to, the president is opting to act more as a mediator.
“Conflict cannot continue forever. The only question is when nations will decide that they have had enough — enough bloodshed, enough killing,” Trump said. “Change must come from within — it can only come from within.”

Giuliani Drops FBI Investigation BOMBSHELL, Liberals Humiliated
After routinely denouncing James Comey as a Republican operative (a charge that runs counter to all logic and evidence), the Left now almost deifies him as one of the martyrs of their “Resistance.” However, those who know Comey tell a much different story.
Rudy Giuliani, the former Republican mayor of New York City and the administrator responsible for the city’s great turnaround in terms of crime and livability, has gone on record as saying that he trusts President Donald Trump more than James Comey. It should be noted that Comey worked with Giuliani as an associate attorney, via Dennis Michael Lynch.
TMZ, a disgusting and salacious outfit that feeds America’s addiction to celebrity gossip, tried to catch Giuliani off-guard by asking him the question. Rudy told the liberal behind the microphone where he stands (via TMZ).
The sheer lunacy of the Left’s infatuation with Comey is hard to process. Even Stephen Colbert, a painfully unfunny “comic,” was shocked when his own crowd cheered Comey’s firing, via YouTube.
The sanctification of Comey all stems from the erroneous belief that he was fired because he was close to exposing President Trump’s ties to Russia.
Many who believe this maintain not only that Russian agents hacked the 2016 election, but that Russian intelligence services also have blackmail on Trump. This situation, in their minds, has created an impeachable presidency based on foreign collusion.
In truth, there is absolutely no evidence that Russia either hacked our election or has close connections with Trump himself.
Each Trump-Russia scandal has been concocted by the antagonistic media with help from inside leakers. From the recent brouhaha over Comey’s memo (which was created weeks after he testified under oath that Trump did not obstruct justice) to the idea that Trump gave away classified information to the Russians, every harebrained liberal story has fallen apart.
And yet, many in the DNC still maintain two contradictory ideas: 1) that Comey’s investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal helped to sway the election, and 2) Comey was fired because he was an honest investigator searching for the truth, via Breitbart.
Comey is responsible for neither of these things. He was ultimately a loyal Democrat who kept chasing after a wild goose in the form of Russia (and look how that ended up!) When it comes down to it, none of these stories have any real basis in truth. And even Mayor Giuliani can see that for himself!
Bravo to Mayor Giuliani for having the courage to speak the truth. Give the lying media not a single inch–they’re out to destroy us. Let’s destroy them first.
Dem Congresswoman Tries To Block Investigation of Islamic Spies
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz threatened the chief of the U.S. Capitol Police with “consequences” for holding equipment that she says belongs to her in order to build a criminal case against a Pakistani staffer suspected of massive cybersecurity breaches involving funneling sensitive congressional data offsite.
The Florida lawmaker used her position on the committee that sets the police force’s budget to press its chief to relinquish the piece of evidence Thursday, in what could be considered using her authority to attempt to interfere with a criminal investigation.
The Capitol Police and outside agencies are pursuing Imran Awan, who has run technology for the Florida lawmaker since 2005 and was banned from the House network in February on suspicion of data breaches and theft.
“My understanding is the the Capitol Police is not able to confiscate Members’ equipment when the Member is not under investigation,” Wasserman Schultz said in the annual police budget hearing of the House Committee On Appropriations’ Legislative Branch Subcommittee.
Loony Liberal Blames Trump for Islamic Terrorist Attack
During a discussion of the attack in Manchester on Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Senator Chris Murphy stated that “many of us are worried about some of the rhetoric of the Trump administration, because we worry that that combined with robust online recruitment might end up in an attack like this happening in the United States.”
Murphy said that while there has been military success against ISIS in the Middle East, they’re still “lethal” and the approach to ISIS has to be “comprehensive” and can’t just be about the military.
He continued, “The fact of the matter is, in many countries in Europe, England included, Muslims suffer a de-facto segregation, which sometimes allows for these perversions of Islam, this radicalization, to take root, and we have to make sure that we don’t allow that to happen here.”
Murphy further stated, “[W]e have got to compliment this military strategy with increased intelligence, increased intelligence sharing with Europe, and a commitment to try to stop giving isis recruiters recruitment fodder. And so, many of us are worried about some of the rhetoric of the Trump administration, because we worry that that combined with robust online recruitment might end up in an attack like this happening in the United States.”
Report: Obama NSA Conducted Illegal Searches on Americans for Years
A new report by Circa News details how the National Security Agency under former President Barack Obama routinely spied on Americans, violating their privacy protections and the agency's own database safeguards. According to a classified internal report reviewed by Circa, more than 5 percent of searches seeking "upstream Internet data on Americans inside the NSA’s so-called Section 702 database violated the safeguards Obama and his intelligence chiefs vowed to follow in 2011."
The Obama administration self-disclosed the problems at a closed-door hearing Oct. 26 before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that set off alarm. Trump was elected less than two weeks later.
The normally supportive court censured administration officials, saying the failure to disclose the extent of the violations earlier amounted to an “institutional lack of candor” and that the improper searches constituted a “very serious Fourth Amendment issue,” according to a recently unsealed court document dated April 26, 2017.
The admitted violations undercut one of the primary defenses that the intelligence community and Obama officials have used in recent weeks to justify their snooping into incidental NSA intercepts about Americans.
Circa has reported that there was a three-fold increase in NSA data searches about Americans and a rise in the unmasking of U.S. person’s identities in intelligence reports after Obama loosened the privacy rules in 2011.
Officials like former National Security Adviser Susan Rice have argued their activities were legal under the so-called minimization rule changes Obama made, and that the intelligence agencies were strictly monitored to avoid abuses.
The intelligence court and the NSA’s own internal watchdog found that not to be true.
“Since 2011, NSA’s minimization procedures have prohibited use of U.S.-person identifiers to query the results of upstream Internet collections under Section 702,” the unsealed court ruling declared. “The Oct. 26, 2016 notice informed the court that NSA analysts had been conducting such queries in violation of that prohibition, with much greater frequency than had been previously disclosed to the Court.”
The newly disclosed violations have caught the attention of the American Civil Liberties Union, which is now questioning whether the U.S. intelligence community has the ability to police itself.
“I think what this emphasizes is the shocking lack of oversight of these programs,” said Neema Singh Guliani, the ACLU’s legislative counsel in Washington. “You have these problems going on for years that only come to the attention of the court late in the game and then it takes additional years to change its practices. I think it does call into question all those defenses that we kept hearing, that we always have a robust oversight structure and we have culture of adherence to privacy standards,” she added. “And the headline now is they actually haven’t been in compliance for years and the FISA court itself says in its opinion is that the NSA suffers from a culture of a lack of candor.”
After Manchester Bombing, New Poll Destroys Media Lies About Trump
BY BEN MARQUIS
From the moment he entered the presidential race, and increasing in intensity since, the liberal media have done their worst to malign Donald Trump in a bid to kill his popularity and ensure his agenda never gets enacted.
Though the constant media harping on both real and made-up scandals has had some success in holding down President Trump’s approval ratings with the voting public, it has not succeeded in utterly destroying his presidency. In fact, it may have reached the point of diminishing returns, as Rasmussen just reported that the president’s approval rating has reached 48 percent.
The daily tracking poll that reports a rolling three-day rolling average of poll results pegged Trump’s disapproval rating at 52 percent, with 41 percent being listed as “strongly disapprove.” Of the 48 percent who approve of Trump’s job thus far, 31 percent stated they “strongly approve” of the president’s performance.
The poll showed some improvement for Trump from the prior week, likely due to his thus far hugely successful foreign trip and tough reaction to the recent Islamist homicide bombing in Manchester.
RealClearPolitics, which combines numerous polls into one average, had Trump at 40.1 percent approval and 54 percent disapproval, and while that average is heavily weighted with several potentially skewed polls — remember how awful the polls in 2016 were — the number nevertheless showed that Trump’s approval had begun to rise following a couple of weeks of constant negative media coverage.
Not surprisingly, The Washington Post dutifully felt the need to pontificate on how low Trump’s approval rating could go later while reporting on the results of a forecasting poll that estimated what the president’s ratings would be as of August 2017.
According to that poll, the overwhelming majority of respondents thought that Trump’s approval rating would pretty much remain where it has been, with 63 percent saying between 30 and 40 percent approval and 26 percent placing it between 40 and 50 percent.

Only 11 percent figured Trump’s approval would dip below 30 percent, but virtually nobody thought the president would clear the 50 percent mark.
The Rasmussen poll aside, it is obvious that the constant lies and smears from the media have been working to some extent to keep Trump’s approval rating down, but if the president can avoid making any major blunders, and if positive changes and affirmative events continue to occur, the American people will see what is really going on.
Gowdy is Getting that New Job!?
by: Charles Fain Lehman
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.) could become chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee following the June 30th departure of the current chairman, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R., Utah).
Gowdy, who led the two year House Benghazi probe, has "near unanimous" support from the 36-member House Republican Steering Committee that determines chairmanships, the Washington Post reported Tuesday.
Gowdy has declined to comment on his interest, and a Gowdy spokeswoman told the Post that the congressman "is continuing to speak with members in the conference about the qualities they believe are most important for the next Chairman to possess."
Several committee members said they were backing Gowdy, and that he was ready to take up the job. Rep. Tom Graves (R., Ga.), a Steering Committee member, said he plans to nominate Gowdy.
