‘No. No. No.’ — Donald Trump Says He Won’t Sign DACA Deal Without Wall Funding

President Donald Trump insisted that he would not sign a DACA deal from Congress unless it included wall funding.
Trump’s National Security Adviser Rushes to Save Obama Era Iran Nuclear Deal
by ADELLE NAZARIAN

A new report suggests that President Donald Trump’s national security advisor H.R. McMaster is rushing to save the deeply flawed nuclear Iran deal, which was seen as a hallmark of former President Obama’s legacy, ahead of Friday’s deadline for recertification.
“According to multiple sources, H.R. McMaster is reprising the role he played last fall: removing a legislative irritant from Trump so that the president can quietly remain in the deal,” wrote the Daily Beast.
On Friday, President Trump must decide whether he will waive — or extend — sanctions relief for key parts of the Iranian regime, such as Iran’s Central Bank, or allow them to be snapped back into place, which would put the United States in violation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
Iran’s Central Bank funds Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which was designated as a terrorist entity by the U.S. Department of Treasury in October.
Another lingering question is whether President Trump will decide to stay in the deal.
The Iran deal is largely seen as more of a treaty than law.
On Wednesday, the Washington Free Beacon wrote that Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) “is working with Senate Democrats on new legislation to hold Iran accountable for its ongoing ballistic missile construction and other rogue activities” and noted, “[t]hat bill, sources said, is failing to gain traction among Republicans due to what many described as a range of flaws that mainly serve to lock in the Iranian nuclear deal and prevent Trump from abandoning it.”
The Free Beacon further noted, “The latest efforts involve a legislative push that would preserve the nuclear deal not only in the short term, but limit the ability of Trump and future presidents to ever exit the deal.”
John Bolton said during a panel discussion on Iran on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, “The sooner the president abrogates it entirely and creates a new international reality, the better.”
According to a speculative report from the Associated Press, “Trump is likely to pair his decision to renew the concessions to Tehran with new, targeted sanctions on Iranian businesses and people, the six people briefed on the matter said.”
Iran’s Central Bank is believed to be engaged in financing terror. Under former President Barack Obama, as part of the United State’s signing off on the nuclear deal, Iran’s Central Bank and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei’s multi-billion dollar empire were granted sanctions relief.
It is possible for the Trump administration to snap sanctions back onto these entities for Iran’s human rights violations; a topic that was not addressed as part of the 2015 nuclear Iran deal’s passage.
The Daily Beast noted that should President Trump embrace the emerging McMaster-Corker-Cardin accord, it would likely pit him against his fellow Iran hawks.

James Woods Warns Trump: ‘If You Fold on Immigration, You’re a One-Term President’
by DANIEL NUSSBAUM
Associated Press
Actor James Woods took to Twitter Tuesday to issue a stern warning to President Donald Trump: Cave to Democrats on the immigration issue and become a “one-term president.”
The conservative actor used his social media account to weigh in on Tuesday’s bipartisan meeting between Trump and leaders from the House and Senate on immigration, during which the president suggested he would be open to a comprehensive immigration reform deal that would resolve the status of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients.
“If you fold on immigration, you are a one-term president,” Woods wrote in a tweet.

Trump Appears to Endorse Path to Citizenship for Millions of Immigrants
President Trump said he would be willing to “take the heat” politically for a sweeping immigration deal, which could alienate some of his supporters. nytimes.com
Woods added that at the very least, if Trump were to defer on the issue of DACA, the actor would not vote for him in 2020.
That’s it. If #Trump rolls over on #DACA, he loses my vote. That is a promise. https://twitter.com/politicalshort/status/950958477538508800 …

Woods also laid out his own advice to the president for dealing with the immigration issue, and urged Republicans to use their majorities in the House and Senate to end the DACA program entirely.
“End #DACA completely, build the wall, defund sanctuary cities, end chain migration, enforce voter ID, and deport all lawbreakers,” he wrote. “Democrats never listened to us when they were in control. Wake up, Republicans. You have the power. Use it, for God’s sake!

Seal Accuses Oprah Winfrey of Enabling Harvey Weinstein: You Are ‘Part of the Problem’
by DANIEL NUSSBAUM

Grammy-winning singer Seal blasted Oprah Winfrey in a searing post to his Instagram account Thursday, accusing the billionaire media mogul and potential 2020 presidential candidate of being “part of the problem” in Hollywood’s culture of sexual harassment and abuse.
The 54-year-old “Kiss from a Rose” singer called out Winfrey for her relationship with disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused of harassing and abusing dozens of women over a decades-long career in Hollywood.
Winfrey made two films with Weinstein’s involvement, including 2013’s Lee Daniels’s The Butler and 2007’s The Great Debaters, and can be seen in online photos embracing the fallen mogul.
“Oh I forgot, that’s right… you’d heard the rumors but you had no idea he was actually serially assaulting young starry-eyed actresses who in turn had no idea what they were getting into,” Seal wrote on his Instagram account. “My bad.
The singer included a meme of Winfrey and Weinstein that accused her of being “part of the problem for decades,” and captioned the post with the hashtag, “#SanctimoniousHollywood.”
Winfrey fueled speculation that she would make a run for the presidency in 2020 after delivering a fiery acceptance speech Sunday at the Golden Globes, during which she spoke about the #MeToo movement to end sexual abuse and said a “new day is on the horizon.”
The speech sparked calls from celebrities and other media figures for Winfrey to run, and within a day, sources had told CNN’s Brian Stelter that the media mogul, talk show host, and actress was “actively thinking” about running.
A poll released Wednesday found Winfrey with a significant advantage over President Donald Trump in a head-to-head matchup.
However, a significant number of social media users had also drawn attention to Winfrey’s prior relationship with Weinstein, with many circulating photos of the pair on Twitter following the speech with the hashtag, “#OprahKnew.” Others questioned Winfrey’s handling of the scandal surrounding her girls’ school in South Africa in 2007, when a teacher was accused of sexually molesting several girls.
On Wednesday, Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane also questioned Winfrey’s presidential ambitions, writing that a Trump-Winfrey matchup in 2020 would be “troublingly dystopian.”

CNN’s Chris Cuomo urges Americans to ‘get woke’ while denouncing border wall
CNN’s “New Day” co-anchor Chris Cuomo told a critic to “get woke” while denouncing President Trump’s border wall during a 30-plus tweet session on Twitter Tuesday morning.

Woods regularly uses his social media account to weigh in on politics, often posting in support of the president, criticizing mainstream media, and mocking left-wing celebrities, including former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
In August, the actor said the only reason he feels comfortable expressing conservative views in the left-dominated entertainment industry is because he has already “accepted” that he’s been blacklisted in Hollywood.

Report: Biggest Source of Planned Parenthood Revenue Is U.S. Taxpayers
by THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.

In its most recent annual report, abortion giant Planned Parenthood has revealed that its number one source of revenue in 2017 was government funds taken from the pockets of American taxpayers to the tune of a half billion dollars.
Under the title of “Government Health Services Reimbursements & Grants,” Planned Parenthood acknowledged taking in a whopping $544 million of tax dollars during the course of the year, with a massive excess of revenues over expenses totaling close to $100 million. The 2017 excess revenue represented a 27 percent increase over the prior fiscal year, from $77.5 million to $98.5 million in surplus income.
Among its expenses, America’s largest abortion provider spent $47.9 million on sex education, $40 million on public policy and another $85.4 million on fundraising.
The group says it performed 321,384 abortions in the United States during 2017, making Planned Parenthood clinics the most lethal place in the nation for unborn babies.
The annual report displays a graph proclaiming Planned Parenthood court victories “won to protect and expand access to safe and legal abortion.”
Among these victories, as Breitbart News reported, was a court decision in the state of Indiana, after Planned Parenthood sued for the right to abort babies with Down syndrome or those selected for elimination because of their race or gender.
U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Walton Pratt, an Obama appointee, issued a permanent injunction against Indiana’s “Sex Selective and Disability Abortion Ban,” arguing that the State has no right to examine “the basis or bases upon which a woman makes her choice” to abort.
Planned Parenthood’s bright color brochure features the smiling faces of mostly ethnic women, a grim reminder of its eugenic origins and historical efforts to reduce the population of people of color in the United States and elsewhere.
Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood’s founder, was a notorious eugenicist and worked tirelessly to promote abortion and contraception among the black population, convinced that abortion could effectively cull “inferior races” from the human gene pool.
Sanger selected inner cities with a high concentration of minorities as the sites for her first abortion clinics, and still today, 79 percent of Planned Parenthood’s abortion facilities are located in black or minority neighborhoods.
Planned Parenthood’s research and propaganda arm, the Guttmacher Institute, was named after former Planned Parenthood president Alan Guttmacher, who was also Vice-President of the American Eugenics Society.
Today, abortion is the leading cause of death in the United States, with abortions accounting for over 900,000 U.S. deaths each year, followed by heart disease, cancer, and lower respiratory disease.
Among U.S. abortions, the black population is targeted disproportionately, with black children aborted at nearly four time the rate of white children. Currently, more than half of all black deaths in the U.S. are the result of abortion.

Brett Favre Says He’d Rather His Grandsons Play ‘Safer’ Sports Than Football
by WARNER TODD HUSTON

With football increasingly losing popularity among younger players, former Green Bay Packers great Brett Favre didn’t help the Pop Warner leagues much by saying he’d rather his grandsons play a safer sport than football.
Football has suffered a few body blows to its popularity, especially for youth leagues, with parents who have become afraid that the sport is too rough for kids. For several years, now, worries over player safety have been a big concern. Parents have been specifically worried about brain injuries and concussions.
Favre didn’t help much for those who want to keep the game of football alive in a recent appearance on the CBS Sports Pick Six Podcast.
“I have three grandsons — and people may wonder why a retired player would be so adamant about concussions and making the environment safer — I don’t know if they’ll play football. They’re eight [years], three [years] and several months old,” Favre said. “What little bit I know now — and it’s more than when I played — concussions [are] not good. And definitely not for a youth. And so, there is something out there that can make the environment safer, aside from helmets, and that is the surface. I think you have to look at the surface as an equal if not more important than the equipment you wear.”
Favre added that he would discourage his grandsons from playing football and would actually rather they play golf.
“I’m not going to encourage them to play. I’m not going to discourage [them],” Favre added. “But I say this to everyone who will listen: if my grandsons were to say, and they call me Paw-Paw, if they were to say ‘Paw-Paw, will you be my caddy in golf, I think I’m going to do golf instead of football,’ I would be much more happy, satisfied and excited by that then by them playing football.”
Favre said he’d worry to see them taking hits on a football field.
“Every tackle I would be cringing, hoping they get up and not shaking their head and saying they got a headache. But the likelihood of that happening by them playing football is very high. So I’d much rather them choose a safer route,” he said.
Player safety has been a growing issue for the National Football League and has featured as an important stumbling point between the league and the players union. In response, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has frequently spoken of the league’s commitment to player safety.
But even as he has said the NFL places player safety at a high priority, he has also attacked many of the medical and scientific studies players have used to back up their negotiations.
Last August, for instance, Goodell said that “there are a lot more questions than answers” on the risk of brain injury in football.
TRUMP’S REALLY DONE IT NOW!
Trump has really done it now. He’s spoken candidly again, referring to several nations a “s—hole” countries, according to media accounts. CNN is having a complete meltdown. Of course, if all of these countries are so wonderful, why is there such an outcry against sending aliens from those countries back home?
Meanwhile, we know that Trump’s approval ratings are miserable. He’s lost ground among just about every demographic group, except. . . Wait, what? Who??!! No, this can’t be right.
From Ron Brownstein’s article in The Atlantic today:
Among African Americans and Hispanics, reactions to Trump depend more on gender than age or education. In every age group, and at every level of education, about twice as many African American men as women gave Trump positive marks. In all, 23 percent of black men approved of Trump’s performance versus 11 percent of black women. “The outlier here isn’t [black] men … it’s [black] women, where you have near-universal disapproval of Trump,” said Cornell Belcher, a Democratic pollster who studies African American voters. Still, black men are one of the few groups for which Trump’s 2017 average approval rating significantly exceeds his 2016 vote share.
Among Hispanics, men were also much more likely than women to express positive views about Trump. Among Hispanic men older than 50, Trump’s approval— strikingly—exceeded 40 percent. But at least three-fifths of Hispanic women in every age group (including both those with and without a college degree) disapproved. Trump’s 2017 approval rating slightly exceeded his 2016 vote share among Hispanic men, and was slightly below it among Hispanic women.
If I can connect the two news items in this post, it would be that Trump missed an opportunity to mention the “s—hole” cities run by Democrats in this country.
