The Green New Deal of the Democrats is full of… MOLD…
Hungary’s Border Fence Was Built Fast, Cheap, And It Works
By Dick Morris 
Along its 109-mile border with Serbia, Hungary has built a 13-foot-high fence featuring concertina wire (barbed wire in circles). It took six months to build (July-December of 2015) and cost $106 million. It was built by contractors and 900 Hungarian soldiers.
The fence consists of three rows of razor wire with a sturdier 11.5-foot-tall barrier inside.
By contrast, the Trump Administration is hoping to build a 1500-mile fence along the Mexican border and planning to spend upwards of $15 billion on the construction, ten times as much.
And the Hungarian fence works! Before the barrier was built, in September of 2015, 138,396 migrants entered Hungary over the Serbian border. Within the first two weeks of November, the average daily flow had dropped to only 15 people.
Hungary has also built fences along its border with Croatia and is considering barriers on its other borders.
A country of only 9 million people, Hungarian Premier Vicktor Orbán (disclosure: a former client) notes that Hungary has a very limited capacity to absorb foreign immigrants without seeing its native ethnic population overwhelmed, ergo the fence.
The European Union, having failed to stop illegal entrants from coming in from Asia and Africa, has criticized and even sanctioned Hungary for its fence, citing the requirement of open borders within the EU. But Hungary rightly contends that if the EU cannot police its borders effectively, Hungary must take up the slack.
As President Trump battles Congress and seeks special dispensation from the courts to fund a border wall, one wonders why we can’t build a border will as cheaply and as quickly as Hungary did.
Democrat Presidential Candidate Pete Buttigieg: “You’re Not Free” if You Can’t Kill Your Baby in Abortion
STEVEN ERTELT
Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is gaining momentum in the early presidential state of Iowa. The South Bend, Indiana mayor is beginning to catch fire and is providing an alternative to the majo. Democratic candidates running for president.
However, it turns out that he is no different than other Democrats when it comes to abortion. Like them, he believes in abortion on demand and will support abortion up to birth as president.
In recent comments, Buttigieg said the only way women can truly be free as if they are able to kill their babies in abortions. Here’s more:
On Saturday, South Bend, Indiana, mayor and Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg visited Greenville, South Carolina. During a speech there, the dark horse candidate spoke about “freedom,” specifically as it relates to abortion.
“You’re not free if your reproductive choices are being dictated by male politicians in Washington,” he stated.
As Daily Wire reports, this is not the first time in recent months that Buttigieg has supported unlimited abortions up to birth. Last month, he told MSNBC he failed to condemn legislation in two states that legalized abortions up to birth, and even infanticide.
Although Buttigieg hasn’t spoken in detail about his beliefs surrounding abortion, during a mid-February appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” with host Joe Scarborough, the mayor replied to a question about abortion law with a remark that mirrored his South Carolina speech:
SCARBOROUGH: Do you support the late-term abortion legislation that was passed in the New York state legislature, as well as in Virginia?
BUTTIGIEG: I don’t think we need more restrictions right now. And, you know, what I’ve learned in Indiana, being in a place where a lot of my friends, a lot of my supporters even, come from a different place than I do, being pro-choice, I just believe that when a woman is in that situation, and when we’re talking about some of those situations covered by that law – extremely difficult, painful, often medically serious situations where life or health of the mother is at stake – the involvement of a male government official like me is not helpful.
The presidential hopeful is merely repeating the tired line that abortion (women’s legal ability to kill their unborn babies) is empowering for women as they compete with men for power. Yet Buttigieg demeans women by suggesting that women cannot be equal to men unless they can kill their own children.
Ashleen Menchaca-Bagnulo, an assistant professor at Texas State University, recently responded to this dangerous and pervasive idea at The Public Discourse.
“Identifying abortion with women’s freedom is conceding the idea that male biology and male experience are the paramount ideal for human experience,” Menchaca-Bagnulo wrote. “… freedom does not require women to become like men. The price of freedom should not force us to change something essential about ourselves and our capacities.”
Nor should freedom come at the price of one’s own children. Yet, this is what abortion activists like Buttigieg openly and proudly advocate for today.
Protesters line the streets in opposition to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s appearance at CAIR fundraising event
by Jerry McCormick
Unlike Democrats in Washington, everyday Americans are not letting Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn) anti-Semitic words slide.
Hundreds of patriotic Americans lined the streets outside a fundraiser for the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to protest Rep. Omar’s appearance at the event.
The Friends You Choose
Even amid all the scrutiny she is facing over her offensive remarks, Omar made an appearance at a CAIR function in California on Saturday night.
As if that was not bad enough on its own, another speaker scheduled to appear alongside Omar was Hassan Shibly, who has publicly proclaimed his support for known-terrorist organizations.
It would seem to be a no-brainer that an American congresswoman should not be appearing alongside someone like this.
That seems to not be the case when it comes to Omar — but if these protests are any indication, the tides could soon be turning for the freshman Democrat.
Questions Need Answering
Still, that won’t happen until major players in the media — including Fox News — step up.
Judge Jeanine Pirro was apparently suspended by Fox News over comments she made questioning Omar’s allegiance to the Constitution.
The network also issued a statement disavowing Pirro’s comments. But that may have been premature.
Indeed, they may want to rethink what they said now, as Omar is clearly aligning herself to radicals that are anti-American.
Meanwhile, Democratic Party leadership is also going to have to seriously think about how much effort they are going to spend on defending Omar ahead of 2020.
Right now, she is bringing the party nothing but negative coverage, something Democrats simply can’t afford if they expect to unseat President Trump.
Results of two internal probes could expose Russia investigation backstory creating more surprises
Written by Foxnews
Following the revelation that Special Counsel Robert Mueller unearthed no evidence that President Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia to sway the 2016 election, Trump allies are now awaiting the results of two long-running internal probes that could expose the backstory behind the Russia probe beginnings -- and provide more detail on already-documented misconduct among top FBI and DOJ officials.
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz confirmed at a panel discussion last week that his office is continuing to review potential surveillance abuses by the FBI, a review that began last March and that Fox News is told is nearing completion. Horowitz has previously found that senior FBI officials routinely leaked information without authorization to the media, and also received "improper gifts" from reporters, including meals and sporting event tickets. Most notably, Horowitz found that FBI officials' anti-Trump communications raised doubts as to the integrity of their work.
Republicans are increasingly looking for answers from U.S. Attorney for Utah John Huber, who was appointed a year ago by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions to review not only surveillance abuses by the FBI and DOJ, but also authorities' handling of the probe into the Clinton Foundation.
Huber, Republicans have cautioned, has apparently made little progress, and spoken to few key witnesses and whistleblowers. But in January, then-Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker reportedly indicated at a private meeting that Huber's work was continuing apace.
Among the primary looming questions that the IG has said he will address, and that Huber is expected to review: Did the FBI follow all applicable "legal requirements" when FBI lawyer Lisa Page and then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe obtained a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil Trump aide Carter Page -- weeks before the 2016 presidential election -- by relying heavily on a dossier created by a firm working for the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC)?
Internal text messages exclusively published last week by Fox News showed that a senior DOJ official apparently battled with the FBI over the political bias of the author of the dossier, British ex-spy Christopher Steele.
The texts also showed FBI brass circulating a Mother Jones article, among others, that racheted up media attention on Page's supposed links to Russian officials and ominously warned of a "Russian Operation to Cultivate Donald Trump."
Page has not been charged with any wrongdoing despite more than a year of federal surveillance, and he is now suing multiple actors, including the Democratic National Committee, for defamation.
In its FISA application, the FBI incorrectly assured the FISA court that a Yahoo News article provided an independent basis to surveil Page, even though Steele was the source of the Yahoo News article. The FISA application also did not make clear that the Steele application had been funded by Fusion GPS, a firm retained by the Clinton team.
The text messages also revealed that, just days after Trump said during an October 2016 presidential debate that a special prosecutor should investigate the tens of thousands of emails deleted from Hillary Clinton's private email server, FBI lawyer Lisa Page pushed for the FISA warrant to monitor the Trump aide.
"We have a FISA-related review that people might have heard about that the deputy attorney general asked us to take a look at," Horowitz told attendees at a Washington, D.C. event organized by the Atlantic Council. He took no further questions on the topic. Although only the government presents a case at FISA warrant hearings, defendants retain their constitutional rights against unlawful searches, and DOJ guidelines preclude the FBI from omitting exculpatory evidence, or misrepresenting sources, in FISA applications.
Separately, federal investigators are also continuing their review of systemic leaks at all levels of the FBI. Former FBI Acting Director McCabe was fired from the bureau in March 2018 after it was determined he lied to FBI investigators and then-FBI Director James Comey about a leak four times, including under oath, and a grand jury has been impaneled to investigate the matter.
McCabe, officials say, authorized a leak to a newspaper reporter about the contents of a telephone call on August 2016 in order cast himself in a positive light in the upcoming story about an investigation involving Hillary Clinton. While McCabe had the authority to authorize such a disclosure, the IG determined that the authorization was aimed at advancing his own rather than the bureau’s interests.
DOJ investigators have also uncovered a slew of unauthorized contacts between FBI agents and reporters. Remarkably, at least two unauthorized phone calls to reporters came from an "unattributed FBI HQ phone number," the IG said last year -- suggesting that some employees at the bureau were brazenly leaking information from phones in the agency's headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Huber's investigation, meanwhile, has been dogged by allegations that he has not interviewed witnesses who could shed light on those topics. In a letter to Mr. Huber, Ohio GOP Rep. Jim Jordan and Georgia GOP Rep. Doug Collins said they interviewed dozens of witnesses while his probe was simultaneously running.
“During the course of our extensive investigation we have interviewed more than a dozen current and former DOJ and FBI personnel, and were surprised to hear none of these potentially informative witnesses testified to speaking with you,” Jordan, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, and Collins, the ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, wrote to Huber.
In a deep dive published late last year, RealClearInvestigations reported that Huber's appointment was internally seen as little more than a political effort to placate Republicans.
“At the time, people wanted a special counsel, but Jeff Sessions announced he brought in Huber and people said, ‘OK, we got Huber on it,’" former Justice Department prosecutor Victoria Toensing told the outlet. “But it was a head fake.”
Toensing added: “It’s a farce. It's an embarrassment how this has been handled.” (Weeks later, Whitaker reportedly told former Attorney General Ed Meese over breakfast, in a meeting first reported by the Associated Press, that Huber's work was ongoing.)
Carter Page told The Washington Times late last year that he had not spoken to Mr. Huber, but was eager to do so.
Justice Department official Bruce Ohr also told Congress in August that he had not spoken with Huber. Ohr effectively served as a back channel between Steele and the FBI, after the FBI dropped Steele as a source for leaking to the media.
New details, nevertheless, have emerged about the FBI's handling of its investigation into the Clinton Foundation -- ostensibly an area of focus for Huber. Among the key new information: The Justice Department "negotiated" an agreement with Clinton's legal team in 2016 that ensured the FBI did not have access to emails on her private servers relating to the Clinton Foundation.
Former FBI special agent Peter Strzok, who was fired for breaking FBI protocol by sending numerous anti-Trump text messages on his government-issued phone while working as the No. 2 official on the Clinton and Trump investigations, first acknowledged the arrangement during a secretive closed-door appearance before the House Judiciary Committee last summer.
Republicans late last year renewed their efforts to probe the Clinton Foundation, after tax documents showed a plunge in its incoming donations after Clinton’s 2016 presidential election loss. The numbers fueled longstanding allegations of possible “pay-to-play” transactions at the organization, amid a Justice Department probe covering foundation issues.
Even aside from the probes by Huber and the IG, Republicans on Monday called for new inquiries, including a special counsel to probe "the other side of the story."
“I’d like to find somebody, like a Mr. Mueller, that can look into what happened with the FISA warrants, the counterintelligence investigation," Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Monday. "Am I right to be concerned? It seems pretty bad on its face—but there are some people that are never going to accept the Mueller report, but by any reasonable standard, Mueller thoroughly investigated the Trump campaign. You cannot say that about the other side of the story."
Graham added: “I hope Mr. Barr will appoint somebody outside the current system to look into these allegations, somebody we all trust, and let them do what Mueller did,” he continued, adding that he has been calling for the appointment of a second special counsel since 2017 to investigate “whether or not a counterintelligence investigation was opened as a back door to spy on the Trump campaign.”
“A counterintelligence investigation is designed to protect the entity being targeted by a foreign power…I still am at a loss as to why nobody went to President Trump to tell him,” Graham told reporters.
Fox News' Catherine Herridge, Brooke Singman, and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
‘Total EXONERATION’: President Trump breaks Twitter silence on Mueller report
by Jerry McCormick
President Donald Trump was fairly silent on Twitter over the weekend in anticipation of the release of a summary of Robert Mueller’s final report by Attorney General William Barr. But he finally broke his silence on the subject with a simple tweet after Barr released his summary on Sunday.
Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump
No Collusion, No Obstruction, Complete and Total EXONERATION. KEEP AMERICA GREAT!
Day for Celebration
Friday night was one of the biggest nights of Trump’s life. Robert Mueller’s final report had been sent to the attorney general, which meant no further indictments would be handed down.
With that, exactly zero indictments were brought against anyone associated with Trump for obstruction of justice or collusion with the Kremlin in the 2016 presidential election.
Then, on Sunday, things got even better: Attorney General Barr released a summary of the report that fully exonerated Trump from any wrongdoing regarding collusion.
This served to place a rather large egg on the face of Mueller, Democrats, and every liberal waiting for Trump to get indicted.
Won’t Let It Go
Even with those announcements, though, liberals and some elected representatives are not willing to let this go.
Indeed, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) continues to say he has overwhelming evidence to support collusion.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders apparently reached her breaking point with him, telling him to either drop off the evidence or “shut the heck up.”
If Democrats had any honor at all, they would apologize and move on.
That does not seem to be on their agenda, though, as many of them are not only still pushing the collusion narrative — they are also demanding an investigation into the investigation.
The good news is Trump is in the clear. The bad news is Democrat lawmakers will probably spend another $25 million of our money trying to undermine the Mueller report.
What a shame.
Ocasio-Cortez Outraged That Republicans Will Vote on HER OWN Bill
by 
Andrew
If you ever play poker, you’ve probably seen this scenario unfold a time or two. A player in love with their own mastery of the game pushes a bunch of chips into the center of the table, only to be immediately called by the person on their left. When the two flip their cards, it is revealed that the first player had nothing and the calling player had something lame like a high pair…but still enough to take the pot. At this point, the bluffing player might go on a rant about terrible donks and mathematical odds and even “idiots from Northern Europe,” depending on his predilections. It’s embarrassing, but it happens.
But even though the bluffing player may be right about the wisdom of calling a huge push with a single pair, the fact remains that players do that sometimes. Maybe it’s because they aren’t very good, maybe it’s just because they had a read on the bluffer. And maybe it’s because they just wanted to have a little fun and take a big risk. Maybe they thought that seeing the look on the other player’s face would add enough expected value to the pot to make it worth the unfavorable odds.
Whatever the case, the outrage is usually the same, and it’s the same kind of outrage we detected from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez this week when she learned that GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell was bringing her Green New Deal up for a floor vote.
“The GOP’s whole game of wasting votes in Congress to target others ‘on the record’, for legislation they have no intent to pass, is a disgrace,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Sunday. “Stop wasting the American peoples’ time + learn to govern. Our jobs aren’t for campaigning, & that’s exactly what these bluff-votes are for.”
How rich. It is a “disgrace” and a waste of the American peoples’ time for McConnell to bring the Green New Deal up for a vote? Then what was it when you wasted our time coming up with the legislation in the first place? Is that what your New York constituents sent you to Washington to do? Write bills that would embarrass the climate change movement, bring shame down on the Democrats, and stand absolutely no chance whatsoever of being passed into law? That seems like a pretty strange use of taxpayer time and money, but then, Ocasio-Cortez is an expert on strange uses of those two.
“Just a good old-fashioned, state-planned economy. Garden-variety 20th-century socialism,” McConnell said of the Green New Deal recently. “Our Democratic colleagues have taken all the debunked philosophies of the last hundred years, rolled them into one giant package, and thrown a little ‘green’ paint on them to make them look new.”
And now he’s going to make them go on the record. They apparently plan to protest by voting “present” and whining about it on social media.
Bluff called.
Ciao…..G’day…….
