Candace Owens: ‘Zero Percent Chance That These Suspicious Packages Were Sent Out by Conservatives’; The Only Thing Suspicious About These Packages is the Timing’; ‘Leftists are Going ALL OUT for Midterms’
Fox News personality Candace Owens says the timing of the mail bombs targeting Democrats is “suspicious”.
“I’m going to go ahead and state that there is a 0% chance that these “suspicious packages” were sent out by conservatives,” she tweeted.
“The only thing “suspicious” about these packages, is their timing. Caravans, fake bomb threats—these leftists are going ALL OUT for midterms,” Owens added.

Caravans, fake bomb threats—these leftists are going ALL OUT for midterms.

The comments were made amidst reports that another suspicious device was sent to former Attorney General Eric Holder. The targets of the attempted attacks clearly indicates that the plot is the work of a far-right extremist.
However, suggestions that the attempted bombings may be an October surprise political stunt by a crazed Democrat to make conservatives look bad right before the midterms are rife.
As we reported earlier, U.S. Army Veteran and trial lawyer Kurt Schlichter claimed that the mail bombs targeting the Clintons, George Soros, CNN and others could be a “leftist scam”.
“Considering the perfect timing & the track record of hoaxes & bombing on the left, don’t tell us to pretend it can’t be a leftist scam,” he tweeted.
However, other prominent conservatives like Ben Shapiro have called anyone who suggests everything isn’t as it seems is “deranged”.
Fire Destroys Historic Massachusetts Church
BY CHRIS JASUREK
A nearly 150-year-old church in Wakefield, Massachusetts, caught fire and burned to the ground on the night of Tuesday, Oct. 23.
The First Baptist Church of Wakefield had dominated the skyline of this town of 25,000 with its 180-foot-tall steeple since 1873. There has been a building housing the church congregation on the site continuously since the year 1800. Wakefield is about 12 miles north of Boston.
The church was reported to be in flames around 7:30 p.m., shortly after a lightning storm passed over the town, according to WFXT-25.
According to Wakefield Fire Chief Michael Sullivan, there was a community class going on in the church building when the fire broke out. Everyone was evacuated safely.

BREAKING: MASSIVE fire at the First Baptist Church in #Wakefield
7:51 PM - Oct 23, 2018
More than one local resident saw lightning strike the steeple.
““Me and my wife were in the house and we heard the huge loud bang and we saw the lightning strike the building,” Christian Bruno told WFXT.
It struck the tower, and it just—saw the smoke and it came right up in flames, I mean, it was fast, bang. It was just unbelievable.
“So I ran off my back deck and I could see the church was struck by lightning,” Noreen Evangelista told CBS News.
“All of a sudden it was engulfed in flames and we watched it burn and burn and burn and we heard the shingles cracking and all of a sudden it just exploded out.”
CBS News reported that the people could feel the heat from the fire a few blocks away.

Fast, Fierce Blaze
The fire spread quickly. What started as a three-alarm blaze grew within two hours into a seven-alarm inferno.
The 180-foot steeple, and landmark visible throughout the town, collapsed around 8 p.m.
According to WFXT, by the time the fire department arrived, the fire was already too far advanced for the church to be saved—even though the fire station is less than a mile away.
Robert Mueller’s life is over after this smoking gun emerged
Robert Mueller has spent nearly two years trying to frame Donald Trump for collusion with Russia.
His investigation has failed on every front.
Now his life is over after this smoking gun emerged.
Mueller made Trump associate Roger Stone the focus of his collusion probe.
Stone claimed to have spoken to Julian Assange in 2016 and investigators believe he may have had advance knowledge of the WikiLeaks email dumps.
That all turned out to be lies.
Stone “predicted” the WikiLeaks email dumps because he was copied on an email from Clinton Foundation expert Charles Ortel to Fox News Journalist James Rosen.
Ortel told Rosen that Wikileaks was expected to release Clinton Foundation emails in September.
The Daily Caller reports:
Stone explained to TheDC the information he learned from the email was part of the basis for his August 2016 claim of impending information from WikiLeaks about the Clinton Foundation.
Stone has also sought to distance himself from scrutiny over a tweet he sent saying “trust me, it will soon the Podesta’s time in the barrel. #CrookedHillary.” The tweet is seen by critics as possible foreknowledge of WikiLeaks later release of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s hacked emails.
Stone, however, says that the tweet was based on “an August 14th article in Breitbart News by Peter Schweitzer that reported that Tony Podesta was working for the same Ukrainian Political Party that Paul Manafort was being excoriated for,” and that “the Podesta brothers extensive business dealings with the Oligarchs around Putin pertaining to gas, banking and uranium had been detailed in the Panama Papers in April of 2016.”
Stone strongly denied any collusion with WikiLeaks or Russia.
Now it appears he has the evidence to clear his name.
TRUMP’S COMMENTS ON MIGRANT CARAVAN RAISE A QUESTION — ARE ‘MIDDLE EASTERNERS’ BEING SMUGGLED ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST BORDER?
-
President Donald Trump has been criticized for suggesting, without evidence, that Middle Eastern people have slipped into the migrant caravan in Mexico.
-
While there is no public evidence that Trump’s claim is credible, migrants from the Middle East are known to have been smuggled across the southwest border in the recent past.
-
Many of these migrants are from “countries of interest” that are known to have acute problems with terrorism.
President Donald Trump made a surprising claim Monday morning about the migrant caravan winding its way toward the U.S. through Mexico — people from the Middle East are among the thousands of Central American travelers.
“Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy [sic].”
When pressed on his assertion later that afternoon, the president doubled down, telling reporters at the White House to “go into the middle” of the caravan, where “You’re gonna find MS-13. You’re gonna find Middle Eastern [people].”
Trump did not offer any supporting evidence for his claims, prompting leading media outlets to pile on with a raft of fact-check articles that generally reached the same conclusion: the president was misleading the public about the nature of the caravan.
The controversy over Trump’s comments overshadowed the relevant fact that people from Middle Eastern countries, including some identified as particularly fertile grounds for terrorism, are known to have been smuggled across the southwest border in the recent past. And illegal immigrants from the Middle East are regularly intercepted by border authorities after crossing from Mexico, though they represent a tiny fraction of the total number of illegal entries.
In fiscal year 2017, the U.S. Border Patrol arrested roughly 310,000 people nationwide, according to Customs and Border Protection figures. Of that number, 61 were nationals of countries the Department of State defines as being in the greater Middle East.
Whether land-based illegal immigration of Middle Eastern nationals constitutes a security threat above and beyond that presented by Central Americans is something of an open question in the government. The White House Strategy for Counterterrorism released earlier in October does not mention possible infiltration of terrorists across the southwest border.
However, the State Department’s “Country Reports On Terrorism 2017,” which was released in September, did concede that terrorist groups could exploit deficiencies in border security along human smuggling routes into the U.S.
“Many Latin American countries have porous borders, limited law enforcement capabilities, and established smuggling routes,” the report stated. “These vulnerabilities offer opportunities to foreign terrorist groups.”

That possibility is illustrated in two recent cases in which human smugglers managed to sneak dozens of migrants in a higher-risk category known as “special interest aliens” (SIAs) into the U.S. by way of the southwest border. SIAs are nationals of countries the government believes to have notable terrorism problems, including the five Middle Eastern and greater Middle Eastern countries on Trump’s travel ban list: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in August arrested Jordanian-Mexican dual national Moayad Heider Mohammad Aldairi at JFK Airport in New York. The Monterrey, Mexico-based Aldairi smuggled at least six Yemenis across the southwest border into Texas between July 2017 and December 2017, according to a criminal complaint.
Prior to Aldairi’s arrest, Pakistani national Sharafat Ali Khan pleaded guilty in April 2017 to human smuggling charges for running a network that sent dozens of illegal immigrants to the U.S. via Brazil and Mexico. Most of the smuggled migrants were from Pakistan, which was left off the travel ban list but is considered a special interest country because of the prevalence of terrorist groups operating there.
There is no indication that any of the people smuggled into the U.S. in these two cases had ties to terrorism. But border authorities have reported arresting foreign nationals thought to be members of designated terrorist groups, including at least two members of al-Shabaab, the Somalian al-Qaeda affiliate, in 2014.
As for the current migrant caravan, Trump acknowledged Tuesday that he didn’t know for sure if Middle Eastern migrants had slipped into the procession
“There’s no proof of anything,” he said.
Administration officials similarly dismissed the idea that a terrorist group could be using the caravan as cover to slip operatives into the U.S.
“We do not see any evidence that ISIS or other Sunni terrorist groups are trying to infiltrate the southern U.S. border,” an American counterterrorism official was quoted as saying by The New York Times and other outlets.
THE OPPORTUNITY COSTS OF SOCIALISM
With socialism becoming the new fad for Democrats, good to see the Trump White House getting out ahead of it. Today the Council of Economic Advisers released a 72-page report entitled “The Opportunity Costs of Socialism” that clearly and succinctly lays out a powerful case against all of the leading Democratic nostrums that are likely to be the heart of the Democrats’ 2020 platform.
Here’s a bit of the executive summary:
Coincident with the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx’s birth, socialism is making a comeback in American political discourse. Detailed policy proposals from self-declared socialists are gaining support in Congress and among much of the electorate. . .
Whether socialism delivers on its appealing promises is an empirical question. We begin our investigation by looking closely at the most highly socialist cases, which are typically agricultural economies, such as Maoist China, Cuba, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Their non democratic governments seized control of farming, promising to make food more abundant. The result was substantially less food production and tens of millions of deaths by starvation. Even if highly socialist policies are peacefully implemented under the auspices of democracy, the fundamental incentive distortions and information problems created by large state organizations and the centralized control of resources are also present in industrialized countries, as is currently the case in Venezuela. Lessons from poorly performing agricultural economies under socialist regimes carry over to government takeovers of other modern industries: They produce less rather than more.
You wouldn’t think anyone would need to be told this, but they do. But the best part of the report debunks the reputation of the supposedly socialist Scandinavian countries:
Although they are sometimes cited as more relevant socialist success stories, the experiences of the Nordic countries also support the conclusion that socialism reduces living standards. In many respects, the Nordic countries’ policies now differ significantly from what economists have in mind when they think of socialism. For instance, they do not provide healthcare for“free”; Nordic healthcare financing includes substantial cost sharing. Marginal labor income tax rates in the Nordic countries today are only somewhat higher than in the United States, and Nordic taxation overall is surprisingly less progressive than U.S. taxes. The Nordic countries also tax capital income less and regulate product markets less than the United States does. However, the Nordic countries do regulate and tax labor markets somewhat more; thus, American families earning the average wage would be taxed $2,000 to $5,000 more per year net of transfers if the United States had current Nordic policies. Living standards in the Nordic countries are at least 15 percent lower than in the United States.
It may well be that American socialists are envisioning moving our policies to align with those of the Nordic countries in the 1970s, when their policies were more in line with economists traditional definition of socialism. We estimate that if the United States were to adopt these policies, its real GDP would decline by at least 19 percent in the long run, or about $11,000 per year for the average person.
This compact report is devastating, and is copiously sourced. File it away for future reference. I suspect it is going to come in handy.
