<span style="font-size: large;">If you haven’t seen a commercial for <a href="https://www.unplannedfilm.com/"><em>Unplanned</em></a>, an
anti-abortion movie critical of Planned Parenthood, it isn’t for lack
of trying on the part of marketers, whose efforts have been consistently
rebuffed by TV networks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>Marketing <em>Unplanned</em> has been an uphill battle for a few months
now, since the MPAA saddled the film with an R rating, which filmmakers
say will chase away a key demographic: Christians. Indeed, Up TV cited
the R rating when it also rejected the commercial, as did several
Christian radio channels that also refused to air ads for <em>Unplanned</em>.<br />
<br />
Johnson, 38, is a pro-life activist who previously worked as one of the
youngest Planned Parenthood employees ever to earn the title of clinic
director. She released her <em>Unplanned</em> memoir in October 2011
after resigning from her position in October 2009. Johnson, who says she
helped orchestrate 22,000 abortions before leaving Planned Parenthood,
claimed to have quit after seeing an abortion take place on an
ultrasound.<br />
<br />
The abortion doctor explains that he needs to perform an
“ultrasound-guided procedure” and wants Abby to “hold probe” on the
ultrasound. While he makes preparations for the abortion, Abby sets up
the ultrasound and suddenly we hear a heartbeat and see a 13-week-old
baby on the monitor. The girl receiving the abortion begins to panic, as
the abortion doctor yells at her to “hold still!” The nurse holds her
down, coldly lecturing her, “You want it done, don’t you?”<br />
<br />
At this point, the abortion doctor begins to place a catheter in the girl’s cervix to perform a <u><a href="https://www.abortionprocedures.com/aspiration/#1466797068169-b19ae05d-8be7">suction D&C abortion</a></u>.
As we can clearly see on the monitor, the baby reacts viscerally to
what is taking place: “It just moved away from the catheter,” Abby says,
stunned.<br />
<br />
<b>“They always move. That’s why I do it this way!” the doctor snaps back.</b>James Rousselhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17782764398199799390noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422887332140874569.post-54672741327349225092019-03-06T21:06:00.000-06:002019-03-06T21:06:06.499-06:00Trump’s approval rating among black voters at record high as Democrats try to keep blacks on the plantation<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">President Donald Trump’s approval rating among black voters is at a
record high, <span style="font-size: small;">according to the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential
Tracking Poll.</span></span></h2>
President Trump’s approval rating among blacks stood at 40% in a
Rasmussen poll two days before Halloween. <a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_events/social_issues/voters_think_young_blacks_doing_better_under_trump_than_obama">Rasmussen surveys</a> are often
friendlier to the president than those of other polling organizations,
so critics are quick to dismiss them as outliers. In this instance,
however, that could be a mistake.<br />
<br />
Voters feel young black Americans are better off under President Trump
than they were under Barack Obama, the nation’s first black president.<br />
<br />
Since Donald Trump officially declared himself a candidate for the
presidency of the United States in 2015, there has been a constant
drumbeat of <b>allegations coming from Democrats</b> and certain members of the
media claiming that the former tycoon and businessman is a
<a href="https://www.wordnik.com/words/dyed-in-the-wool">dyed-in-the-wool racist,</a><br />
<br />
This is being done to keep blacks on the Democrat plantation and keep them voting for Democrats. The play from their playbook is to convince Blacks and Latinos that President Donald Trump is a racist and keep their vote under the Democrat tent.<br />
<u><i><br /></i></u>
<u><i>Here are some samples from the play book.</i></u><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Michael Cohen,</b> the convicted liar and disbarred former lawyer to President Donald Trump, will accuse Trump of being a “racist,” </span><br />
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Former <b>President Obama</b> suggested that President Trump is not solving
the world’s problems because he has “racism” and “mommy issues.”</span></span></h2>
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>Senate Minority Leader<b> Chuck Schumer</b> (D-NY) stated that President Trump
can begin to prove he’s not racist or bigoted by supporting the
bipartisan immigration compromise.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>MSNBC’s “Deadline,” network host <b>Al Sharpton </b>said President Donald Trump is a racist obsessed with race.<br />
<br />
At a Martin Luther King Jr. celebration in Columbia, SC, Sen. <b>Bernie Sanders (</b>I-VT) said President Donald Trump was “a racist.”<br />
<br />
Democratic presidential nominee <b>Hillary Clinton </b>said President Donald
Trump “has been racist, he’s been sexist. He’s been Islamophobic. He has
been anti-LQBTQ.”<br />
<br />
CNN host <b>Don Lemon</b> wondered why so many of President Donald Trump’s supporters overlook his “racism”<br />
<br />
Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” <b>Sen. Sherrod Brown</b> (D-OH) said President
Donald Trump’s “phony” populism was anti-Semitic and racist.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Rep. <b>Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</b> (D-NY) claimed there is “no question” that President Donald Trump is a “racist.”</span><br />
<br />
<br />
CBS’s “The Late Show,” during his monologue, host <b>Stephen Colbert</b> said President Donald Trump was a “horny old racist<br />
<br />
CNN’s “Newsroom,” <b>Rep. Gregory Meeks </b>(D-NY) said President Donald Trump was unleashing racism in America.<br />
<br />
Donald Trump was <a href="https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trump-racist-meme/">never accused of racism</a> before he ran for president in 2016.<br />
<br />
If you look hard you can see what the Democrats are up to. Remember <b>it's your vote!</b> Vote the way you want not the way someone else wants you to.<br />

Hillary Clinton has told a crowd in a historic black church in Selma Alabama, that the absence of the Voting Rights Act contributed to her 2016 defeat to Donald Trump.<br />
<br />
Hillary stated, “I was the first person who ran for president without the protection of the Voting Rights Act, “I’ll tell you, it makes a really big difference. And it doesn’t just
make a difference in Alabama and Georgia. It made a difference in
Wisconsin, where the best studies that have been done said somewhere
between <b>40,000 and 80,000</b> people were turned away from the polls because
of the color of their skin, because of their age, because of whatever
excuse could be made up to stop a fellow American citizen from voting.”<br />
<br />
In Hillary Clinton book, <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34114362-what-happened">What Happened</a>, she wrote <span style="font-weight: 400;">“In Wisconsin, where I lost by just
22,748 votes, a study from <b>Priorities USA </b>estimated that the new voter
ID law helped reduce turnout by<b> 200,000 votes</b>, primarily from low-income
and minority areas,”</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priorities_USA_Action"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priorities_USA_Action">Priorities USA</a> is a left-wing organization, which backed President Obama, and Clinton and says that </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">"the voter ID requirement undoubtedly
prevented or discouraged some people from voting. But the report
did not attributes all of the decrease in turnout to the ID law, when there are
many other reasons that could also explain it, including a lack of
enthusiasm</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for Clinton or Trump, or perhaps a belief that Trump couldn’t win Wisconsin."</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">While <a href="https://www.politifact.com/">Politifact </a>cites experts who say
that voter ID laws may have reduced turnout, it is far from certain how
many people this affected.</span><br />
<br />
<u><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></u><span style="font-size: small;"><u>A host of establishment media outlets</u> were declaring victory for Hillary Clinton weeks before the U.S. presidential election.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.npr.org/2016/10/18/498406765/npr-battleground-map-hillary-clinton-is-winning-and-its-not-close"><span style="font-size: small;">NPR stated, </span></a><br />
Let's make one thing clear: Three weeks out from this election, Hillary Clinton is winning — and it's not close.<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>Yes,
people still have to vote, but if Democratic groups come out — and the
Trump scorched-earth campaign is more like a white flag than an actual
strategy — Hillary Clinton will be the next president of the United
State.<br />
<br />
The latest NPR Battleground Map shows that while Trump's path was always
been narrow, now <b>it's nearly nonexistent</b>. The only places where the map
has really expanded amid Trump's controversies is into Republican
territory.<br />

<h2>
The <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/03/us/border-rapes-migrant-women.html"><em>New York Times</em> </a>has admitted that many Latino migrants
are being raped by the cartel-affiliated coyotes who traffick them <u><i>to
jobs</i></u> in Democratic-run cities.</h2>
<h2>
The stories are many, and yet all too similar. Undocumented women making
their way into American border towns have been beaten for disobeying
smugglers, impregnated by strangers, coerced into prostitution, shackled
to beds and trees and — in at least a handful of cases — <u>bound with
duct tape</u>, rope or handcuffs.</h2>
<h2>
For weeks, a 36-year-old mother of three, was in a locked room, the cartel-affiliated coyotes she had paid to get her safely to
the United States drugged her with pills and cocaine, refusing to let
her out even to bathe. </h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">The huge scale of rape is exactly why it is immoral for us to
continue with these <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_and_release_(immigration)">catch-and-release policies</a> which encourage people to
make this dangerous journey.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Those policies are protected by Democrats and by GOP groups, each of
which has their own incentive to encourage the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/migrant-labour">migration of workers. </a></span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;">President Trump has used the threat faced by migrant women to make his
case for a border wall. “One in three women are sexually assaulted on
the dangerous trek up through Mexico,” he <a class="css-1g7m0tk" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/08/us/politics/trump-speech-transcript.html?module=inline" title="">said in January</a>
— an estimate that appears to have originated from some limited
surveys, one of them by Doctors Without Borders, of women traveling
through Mexico.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Rape of migrants is so common that some women and girls plan for it, taking or bringing <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraception" title="Contraception">contraception</a>, or they may be required to take it by smugglers<sup>.</sup> A <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBS_NewsHour" title="PBS NewsHour">PBS NewsHour</a></i> story about sexual assault of female migrants interviewed a pharmacist in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altar,_Sonora" title="Altar, Sonora">Altar</a>

Britain will open Europe’s <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/03/04/uk-transgender-prison-sex-attacks/">first transgender prison </a>wing this week,
after sexual assaults at women’s jails by male inmates who ‘identified’
as female and are incarcerated with women.</h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">The wing, within a women's prison in south London, will initially cater
for three offenders who were born male but have since changed gender.</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Officials say the three prisoners, who have <a href="https://www.gov.uk/apply-gender-recognition-certificate">Gender Recognition Certificates</a>, will not have access to the <u><i>other</i></u> women at HMP Downview,

<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"> During a recent prison visit a governor told her of five prisoners who
were identifying as women and had asked for transfer. All had a history
of sexual violence against women and had had their requests turned down. </span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"> “In my view, any man who has committed a serious sexual or violent offense against women, <u>still has a penis </u>and still has male

<h2>
The city of Albuquerque, New Mexico, spent $133 million on a state-of-the-art electric bus system only to see it go bust.</h2>
<h2>
</h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The arrangement for 15 electric buses slated for the city’s transit
fleet is being cancelled after staff cited brake failures and other
equipment malfunctions during training and testing, according to Mayor
Tim Keller.</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> “When we started running the buses on test runs, we found major problems
with the battery range, the brakes and some electrical issues,” Keller
said. “They seem to be things that were already on the ‘to be fixed
list,’ but they started getting worse.</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> “No one will make an electric bus to our specifications because they say
it’s not possible,” Keller said. “No other company will do it. There’s
no option for electric. We’ll go with a version of clean diesel or gas,
then we’ll look to phase in electric once the technology catches up.”</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> Since the project was shelved, the buses are sitting out of commission
and the stations for the rapid transit system sit unused, inviting
vandals to destroy the newly built ticket stations.</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>A waste of tax payers money! </b></span></h2>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b> </b>
President Clinton approved <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1994/10/19/world/clinton-approves-a-plan-to-give-aid-to-north-koreans.html?pagewanted=all">a plan to arrange more than $4 billion in energy aid</a> to North Korea during the next decade
in return for a commitment from the country's hard-line Communist
leadership to freeze and gradually dismantle its nuclear weapons
development program. "This agreement will help achieve a longstanding and vital American
objective -- an end to the threat of nuclear proliferation on the Korean
Peninsula,"<br />
<br />
<div itemprop="articleBody">
"<b>This agreement is good for the United States, good
for our allies, and good for the safety of the entire world,</b>" Mr.
Clinton said in a brief appearance in the White House press room. "It's a crucial step toward drawing North Korea into the
global community." </div>
<br />
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
The accord calls for a consortium of nations, led by South Korea and
Japan, to provide the North with<b> two light-water nuclear reactors, </b>
designed in a manner that makes it far more difficult for the North to
convert nuclear waste into atomic weapons. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
But the agreement also <b>allows North Korea to keep those rods</b> for an
unspecified number of years. This provision means that the potential
that North Korea could break its agreements and quickly produce nuclear
weapons will not disappear until the end of the decade. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
American officials said that after some initial balking, Seoul had
agreed to pay somewhat more than<b> 50 percent of the cost of building the
reactors -</b>- the design of which will be based on a nuclear plant in
Ulchin, South Korea -- and that Japan would probably <b>pay 30 percent or
more. </b></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<b> </b><a href="https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/dprkchron">Following the collapse of this agreement </a>in 2002, North Korea claimed
that it had withdrawn from the NPT in January 2003 and once again began
operating its nuclear facilities.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/09/asia/north-korea-missile-test-world-reaction/index.html">Words of wisdom from CNN Sep 10, 2016.</a></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
But what happens next? And who is in a position to lay down the law to
North Korea and its nuclear program? Its closest ally China is reluctant
to go further than a statement of condemnation and Pyongyang is already
subject to the strictest sanctions in the world. There are few options
left, short of cutting off the power supplies -- in effect, <b>turning off
the lights in North Korea.</b></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel says the city <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/08/05/chicago-to-sue-doj-over-sanctuary-cities-policy.html">plans to sue the U.S. Department of Justice </a>over President Donald Trump’s immigration
policies, specifically over the so-called sanctuary cities program.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-rahm-emanuel-sue-trump-justice-department-sanctuary-city-met-20170804-story.html">Chicago is considered a sanctuary city</a> in part because <b>Chicago law
prohibits </b>police from providing federal ICE officials access to people
who are in the Police Department's custody, unless they are wanted on a
criminal warrant or have serious criminal convictions.<br />
<br />
<b>It also
prohibits </b>local police from allowing ICE agents to use their facilities
for interviews or investigations. And <u><i>it bars</i></u> on-duty officers from
responding to ICE inquiries or talking to ICE officials about a person's
<u>custody status or release date.</u><br />
<br />
<b>Welcoming City Ordinance</b><br />
This is Chapter 2-173 of the Chicago Code, titled “Welcoming City
Ordinance.” It is part of Title 2, titled “City Government And
Administration.” It contains 9 laws. <a href="https://chicagocode.org/2/2-173/">It’s comprised of the following 9 sections.</a><br />
<br />
<span class="s1"> Chicago protects immigrants through <b>city ordinance, </b>
through CPD directives, and through public services. The primary mode of
this protection is “non-cooperation”: the City of Chicago and its
departments will not cooperate with federal authorities to arrest,
detain, or deport undocumented resid<span style="font-size: small;">ent.</span></span><br />
<br />
“We are not going to be between picking our values of who we are as a
welcoming city, and strengthening our police department,”<i> Emanuel said
in the interview.</i><br />
<br />
<i> </i>“We’re not going to actually auction off our values as a city, so Monday
morning the City of Chicago is going to court; we’re going to take the
Justice Department to court based on this,” he said. “We find it
unlawful and unconstitutional to be, as a city, coerced on a policy."<br />
<br />
So a city says that we find it unlawful and unconstitutional to be coerced on a policy. And Chicago thugs say that we find it unlawful and unconstitutional to be coerced on a policy not to own a gun. <b>Who is right? </b><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>(The Washington Times) </b> </span><br />
<a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jul/27/susan-power-faces-tough-questions-over-unmasking-r/">Former United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power</a> will become the latest
Obama-era official to meet with <i>congressional investigators probing a

<br />
And again CNN deceives it's audience by twisting their words and printing <u>investigate and address Russia's interference.</u><br />
<br />
(CNN) "Ambassador Power strongly supports any bipartisan effort<b> to investigate
and address Russia's interference </b>in our electoral process and she
wanted to engage both the House and Senate Committees charged with
investigating it," Pressman said. "Long before <b>receiving an invitation </b>
to engage the congressional committees,<u> Ambassador Power stressed the
importance of determining the full extent of this threat to our national
security and learning lessons from what has happened."</u><br />
<br />
There is one thing that I do agree with Ambassador Powers<u> </u><br />
<u>the
importance of determining the full extent of this threat to our national
security.</u> The Obama White House looks increasingly to have committed a crime by using U.S. intelligence for political purposes. This is why Samantha went to Washington. To testify about her roll in unmasking hundreds of US citizens.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Trump jumped from 35 percent Friday to 39 percent Sunday, while Clinton fell from 45 to 44 over the same period. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: small;">Clinton had opened a 10-point gap at the end of last week, but her
margin was back to 44-39 to start the week. The numbers show only a
1-point post-debate uptick for Clinton, who led Trump 43-39 the day of
the showdown. </span></span><br />
<br />
Despite a horrendous week, which began with an much-panned debate
performance and ended with a feud with a beauty queen and new questions
about his income taxes, Republican presidential nominee <a href="http://topics.nola.com/tag/donald%20trump/">Donald Trump</a> has pulled back within 5 percentage points of Democrat <a href="http://topics.nola.com/tag/hillary%20clinton/">Hillary Clinton</a> in the latest tracking data from <a href="http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/page/president_poll_daily_tracker.html">The Times-Picayune/Lucid presidential poll</a> released Monday (Oct. 3).<br />
<br />
The poll has been in the field since Aug. 1, asking the same questions
each day and reflect swings based on daily news and events. The
trendline since the candidates Sept. 26 debate, however, shows only a
slight uptick for Clinton, who was widely seen as "winning" the
high-profile televised showdown.<br />
<br />
Among the third-party candidates, Libertarian Gary Johnson dropped from 9
points to 6 points over the course of the week. Green Party nominee
Jill Stein remained at 2 points. The number of undecided voters was 10
percent.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The Democratic power couple earned just over $6.7 million in speaking fees last year, according to their<a href="http://money.cnn.com/2016/08/12/pf/taxes/hillary-clinton-tax-return/index.html?iid=EL"> 2015 tax returns</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Hillary clearly dialed back her paid speaking activity last year. She
earned only $1.5 million. That's way down from the $10.5 million she
garnered from speaking fees in 2014 and the $9.7 million she made in
2013.<br />
<br />
The Clintons are millionaires, thanks to big businesses paying them
sizable sums to speak at corporate events. It's a great way to make
money, but it also comes with questions about whether the Clintons <i><u>are
too tied to corporate cash. </u></i><br />
<br />
<br />
The 2015 tax documents from the Clintons don't specify which
businesses paid Bill and Hillary to speak. In the past, Wall Street has<a href="http://money.cnn.com/2015/10/13/investing/hillary-clinton-wall-street/?iid=EL"> frequently paid Hillary </a>to
speak. Bernie Sanders, her democratic rival for the presidential
nomination, challenged her to release video or text of the speeches she
gave to big business. <b>She never did. </b><br />
<br />
"Nothing will change until we elect candidates who reject Wall Street money," a Sanders ad said, directly hitting Clinton.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Libby is the highest-ranking White House official convicted in a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_political_scandals_in_the_United_States#Federal-level_scandals" title="List of federal political scandals in the United States">government scandal</a> since <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Poindexter" title="John Poindexter">John Poindexter</a>, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Advisor_%28United_States%29" title="National Security Advisor (United States)">national security adviser</a> to President <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan" title="Ronald Reagan">Ronald Reagan</a> in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Contra_affair" title="Iran–Contra affair">Iran–Contra affair</a></span> <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In October 2005, Libby was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indictment" title="Indictment">indicted</a> by a federal <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_jury" title="Grand jury">grand jury</a> concerning the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plame_affair_grand_jury_investigation" title="Plame affair grand jury investigation">investigation of the leak of the covert identity</a> of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Intelligence_Agency" title="Central Intelligence Agency">Central Intelligence Agency</a> officer <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Plame" title="Valerie Plame">Valerie Plame Wilson</a>. Plame's position at the CIA was considered <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classified_information_in_the_United_States" title="Classified information in the United States">classified information</a>. Libby was indicted on five counts relating to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plame_affair" title="Plame affair">Plame affair</a>: Two counts of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perjury" title="Perjury">perjury</a>, two counts of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Making_false_statements" title="Making false statements">making false statements</a> to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation" title="Federal Bureau of Investigation">federal investigators</a>, and one count of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstruction_of_justice" title="Obstruction of justice">obstruction of justice</a>. Libby resigned all three government positions immediately after the indictment was announced.<br />
<br />
In the subsequent federal trial, <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Libby" title="United States v. Libby">United States v. Libby</a></i>, the jury <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conviction" title="Conviction">convicted</a>
Libby on four of the five counts in the indictment (one count of
obstruction of justice, two counts of perjury, and one count of making
false statements) and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquittal" title="Acquittal">acquitted</a> on the second count of making false statements.<sup> </sup>The day after his conviction in that trial, he resigned his later appointment as senior advisor at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_Institute" title="Hudson Institute">Hudson Institute</a> (January 1, 2006 – March 7, 2007)<br />
<br />
On July 2, 2007, when Libby's appeal of Walton's order failed, President Bush <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commutation_of_sentence" title="Commutation of sentence">commuted</a> Libby's 30-month prison sentence, leaving the other parts of his sentence intact.
In commuting Libby's prison term, Bush stated: "I am commuting the
portion of Mr. Libby's sentence that required him to spend thirty months
in prison. ... My decision to commute his prison sentence leaves in
place a harsh punishment for Mr. Libby.<br />
<br />
Presidential candidate and New York Sen. <a href="https://draft.blogger.com/null" target="_blank"><b>Hillary Clinton</b></a>
described actions that led to Libby's conviction as part of a larger
effort by the White House to silence critics of the war in Iraq.<br />
<br />
Clinton said; "Today's decision is yet another example that this
administration simply considers itself <b>above the law</b>," said Clinton of
Bush's decision to commute Libby's sentence. "This case arose from the
administration's politicization of <u><i>national security intelligence</i></u> and
its efforts to punish those who spoke out against its policies.<br />
<br />
"Four years into the Iraq war, Americans are still
living with the consequences of this White House's <u><i>efforts to quell
dissent</i></u>. This commutation sends the clear signal that in this
Administration, cronyism and ideology trump competence and justice."<br />

<h1>
<span style="font-size: large;">Lying To Investigators Can A Be Felony, Court Rules Federal Law Forbids Making False Statements To Government</span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">People who lie to government agencies to
potentially incriminating questions can be convicted of felonies the
Supreme Court ruled in 1998</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">By a 7-2 vote, the court upheld a former New York union official’s
conviction for lying to federal investigators who questioned him about
taking illegal cash payments.</span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">James Brogan was convicted under a broadly worded federal law that
forbids knowingly making “any false, fictitious or fraudulent
statements or representations” to the government, <u><i>even without being
under oath.</i></u></span></span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><u><i> </i></u></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">O<span data-reactid=".16ihijr93b4.2.1.1.0.0.2.$0">n December 27, in a
cell-phone call with her broker’s assistant, on an airport tarmac on her
way to Mexico for a vacation, Stewart sold 3,928 shares of ImClone, the
biotechnology company, for roughly $229,500. By selling when she heard
that its owner, her friend Sam Waksal, was unloading his shares—and
before the news became public that ImClone failed to win approval for
one of its drugs—she avoided a loss of around $50,000.</span></span></span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span data-reactid=".16ihijr93b4.2.1.1.0.0.2.$0"> </span></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span data-reactid=".16ihijr93b4.2.1.1.0.0.2.$0">And for that relatively
minor savings, <u>she would pay</u> with a federal conviction for conspiracy,
<i>obstruction of justice, and lying to investigators; </i>five months in
federal prison in Alderson, West Virginia; five months of home
confinement; and a five-year ban on serving as an officer or director of
her company, which would last until late September 2011.</span></span></span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span data-reactid=".16ihijr93b4.2.1.1.0.0.2.$0"> </span>T</span><span style="font-size: small;">he decision to prosecute Hillary Clinton will come down to a question
of her intent and belief at the time she testified before Congress.
Most reports indicate that Congress’ referral is focused on at least
three of Clinton’s statements: (1) that she did not have any classified
material on her server; (2) her claim that there was only one server;
and (3) her claim lawyers went through every email in full to determine
what was work related.</span></span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">The key issue will be whether Clinton knew the statements was false at
the time she made it — or if the statement was made with a reckless
disregard for the truth.But here’s the reality: Prosecutors rarely go after individuals for
lying to Congress. A Quinnipiac law review article mentioned earlier
found only<b> six people</b> have been successfully convicted of lying to
Congress between the 1940s and the mid-2000s.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;">It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone to convict Hillary Clinton.</span></h1>

<span style="font-size: large;">Voters don't like the basket of Deplorables comment. </span><br />
<br />
At a fundraiser, she suggested that as many as <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/09/10/republicans-think-hillary-clinton-just-made-her-own-47-percent-gaffe-did-she/">half of GOP rival Donald Trump's supporters belonged in what she labeled a "basket of deplorables"</a> — that they were racist, sexist, Islamophobic and/or xenophobic. She later <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/republicans-jump-on-clintons-deplorables-remark/2016/09/10/91a3c148-775c-11e6-8149-b8d05321db62_story.html">said she regretted saying the "half" part</a> but stuck by the crux of her argument: that many Trump backers fit into these unpalatable categories.<br />
<br />
The <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/poll-clinton-trump-in-virtual-dead-heat-on-eve-of-first-debate/2016/09/24/b99c95de-81cb-11e6-8327-f141a7beb626_story.html">Washington Post-ABC News survey</a>
asked people whether "it's fair or unfair to describe a large portion
of Trump's supporters as prejudiced against women and minorities." More
than twice as many registered voters said this approach was out of
bounds (65 percent) as said it was fair game (30 percent).<br />
<br />
But to lump half of Trump voters together into a "basket of
deplorables" and attack voters who support Trump as a class was morally
wrong, factually inaccurate and politically stupid. It does not matter
whether she meant 50 percent of Trump supporters, or a lower percent. A
candidate should not be attacking voters who support her opponent,
except for the small number of white supremacists.<br />
<br />
This deluge of
negative Clinton television ads — which I consider a basket of
deplorable television ads — has been continuing for many months. It is
not enough for a candidate to perpetually attack an opponent without
making a clear, compelling and persuasive case about why voters support
the candidate who launches the attack.<br />
<br />
The biggest problem in Clinton's statement is that she said "half" of
Trump supporters are racists, xenophobes and otherwise bigots. Half
means equal or near-equal parts. There's no data to support such a
specific number.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I believe that the Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, is untrustworthy. During her tenure as secretary of State she:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Accepted the obligations contained in the Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement.<br />
<br />
Received
a security indoctrination concerning the protection of classified
information (marked or unmarked) and unclassified information, including
the procedures to be followed.<br />
<br />
Acknowledged that unauthorized
disclosure, unauthorized retention or negligent handling of classified
information could cause damage or irreparable injury to the U.S. or
could be used to advantage by foreign nations.<br />
<br />
Agreed to return all classified materials.<br />
<br />
Was advised that breach of the agreement may result in the termination of her security clearance and/or removal from employment.<br />
<br />
Recognized that nothing in the agreement constitutes a waiver of the U.S. of the right to prosecute her for any violation.<br />
<br />
The scandalous disclosure involving Clinton’s unauthorized private email
servers and thousands of messages resulted in grave concerns, denials
and outright lies. The truth is that Clinton demonstrated incompetency,
irresponsibility, dereliction of duty and commitment, and a violation of
her pledge.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">In the wake of the Republican and Democratic national conventions,
voters are more likely to support Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump,
<span style="font-size: small;">according to a <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/194084/americans-positive-democratic-gop-convention.aspx" target="_blank">Gallup poll</a> released Monday Aug 1st</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span>While 36 percent of adults are more likely to support Trump coming out
of the GOP’s four-day event, <i><u>51 percent </u>are less likely to vote for the
real estate mogul</i>. The minus-15 net rating <i>is the <u>worst mark</u> for
the Republican nominee </i>coming out of the party’s convention since
Gallup began asking the question. <br />
<br />
Last month’s Republican convention is the only time
respondents were overall<i><u> less likely</u> to vote for the candidate</i> who was
nominated. Fifty-two percent of those surveyed said they have a <i><u>less </u>favorable view</i> of the GOP now. <br />
<br />
Trump thanked “everyone for the wonderful reviews” of his speech and
slammed Clinton’s “very long and very boring speech.” But Gallup’s
results suggest the billionaire’s remarks were the <i><u>worst-received</u> in the
past 20 years.</i><br />
<br />
<i> </i>Forty-four percent of respondents said Clinton’s speech accepting her historic nomination was excellent or good. Trump’s acceptance speech yielded similar results on opposite ends of the spectrum and 36 percent thought it was <i>poor or terrible </i>— the highest percentage since '96.<br />
<br />
<b>This is what was being reported the first week of August. Now </b><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">During his 1992 campaign for the presidency, Bill Clinton was promising America, “You get two for the price of one,” indicating
Hillary Clinton would act as his co-president.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
After the Clintons moved into the presidential mansion, the political
scandals multiplied – from use of the IRS and FBI to target political
opponents to stalking and harassing subjects of Bill Clinton’s sexual
advances and even attempts to loot taxpayer-funded items from the White
House. Americans also witnessed capers such as Travelgate, Chinagate,
Filegate, White Water and Pardongate.<br />
<br />
In the years since the memorable Clinton presidency, Hillary has brought
America Emailgate and the Benghazi scandal, among others.<br />
<br />
But in 2015, America is still apparently suffering from “Clinton fatigue.” Results from a Quinnipiac poll published in April <a href="http://www.quinnipiac.edu/news-and-events/quinnipiac-university-poll/2016-presidential-swing-state-polls/release-detail?ReleaseID=2184">revealed</a>
between 49 and 56 percent of voters in three significant swing states –
Colorado, Virginia and Iowa – believe Hillary is neither honest nor
trustworthy.<br />
<br />
When the Clintons left 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in 2001, they reportedly <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2002/06/12/us/white-house-vandalized-in-transition-gao-finds.html">vandalized</a> and <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2001/02/8267/">looted</a> the White House. <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2001/feb/10/news/mn-23723">Hillary tried to ship furniture to the Clintons’ personal home in Chappaqua, New York</a>.
The Clintons came under fire when they reportedly tried to take
$190,000 in gifts and furnishings from the presidential mansion.<br />
<br />
During their time in the White House, the Clintons also reportedly <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2001/02/8267/">auctioned off and sold taxpayer-financed government goods and services</a>
in exchange for political campaign contributions and personal profit.
Among the items sold by the Clintons, which Judicial Watch uncovered in

<b><span style="font-size: large;">No chief executives at <i>Fortune</i> 100 companies have donated to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b>In comparison, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has received twice as many donations from <i>Fortune </i>100 execs than President Obama did in 2012, according to the <i>Journal</i>. Just last month, Clinton received checks for $2,700 from Apple’s <span class="tickershortcode quotecard_hook" data-symbol="aapl">

</span>
Mark Parker. Individuals <u><i>are capped</i></u> at donating $5,400 to a candidate.<br />
<br />
The <i>Journal</i> reports that the 11 CEOs that back Clinton have
donated more than $30,000 to her campaign. The financial loss for
Trump’s campaign is modest, but garnering support from top executives is
often a goal for Hillary Clinton, as it gives off the impression to voters
that she is competent, especially on economic issues,
according to the <i>Journal</i>.<br />
<br />
According to public records, Clinton gave 92 speeches between
2013 and 2015. <u>Her standard fee is $225,000,</u> and she collected $21.6
million dollars in just under two years. Clinton made 8 speeches to big
banks, netting $1.8 million, according to a CNN analysis.<br />
<br />
There is nothing illegal or unethical about former Secretaries of State earning money on the speaking circuit. The standard fee and her demands are outlined in a memo from the Harry Walker Agency in New York. According to the memo, Clinton requires travel by private jet, and even
specifies that she prefers a Gulfstream 450 or larger. Her staff
requires first class and business class tickets. And two members of her
staff require up to three days on site to prepare, with all local
transportation and meals included.<br />
<br />
The memo states Clinton should be booked into a presidential suite with up to three separate rooms attached. Clinton also requires a flat fee of $1,000 to pay for an onsite
stenographer to record everything she says. However, Clinton is not
required to provide the host with a copy, according to the memo.<br />
<br />
Costs associated with her demands are on top of her speaking fee.

<h1 class="title" itemprop="headline">
Hillary Clinton Either Lied to the American People or Broke the Law </h1>
<h1 class="title" itemprop="headline">
</h1>
<div class="title" itemprop="headline">
Hillary Clinton committed perjury. Or she looked into the faces of the American people and knowingly lied. There is no third option.</div>
<div class="title" itemprop="headline">
<br /></div>
<div class="title" itemprop="headline">
It has become an accepted reality of this presidential campaign that Clinton spins a near-endless series of falsehoods. For months, the media
has struggled with this unprecedented situation—a candidate who, unlike
other politicians who stretch the truth, simply creates her own reality. Clinton regularly peddles “facts” that aren’t true, describes events
that never happened or denies engaging in actions that everyone saw her
do. She utters her falsehoods so fast that before reporters have the
chance to correct one, she has tossed out five or six more.</div>
<div class="title" itemprop="headline">
<br /></div>
<div class="title" itemprop="headline">
This time, it is different. Clinton can’t skip past her perfidy here.
There are two records—one, a previously undisclosed deposition of the Democrat nominee testifying under oath before congress, and the second a Youtube video for the Benghazi attack. In them, Clinton
tells contradictory versions of the same story with the clashing
accounts tailored to provide what she wanted people to believe when she
was speaking.</div>
<div class="title" itemprop="headline">
<br /></div>
<div class="title" itemprop="headline">
No question, these two stories must be investigated if there is ever a
President Clinton. In the impeachment of President Bill Clinton for
lying under oath about an extramarital affair, Republicans established
the standard that failing to tell the truth while testifying—even in the
most understandable of circumstances—rises to the level of high crimes
and misdemeanors. Surely, perjury for pecuniary purposes or to inflate
one’s self-image cannot be ignored.</div>

As U.S.M.C. Gomer Pyle would say "Surprise, Surprise."<br />
<br />
Donald Trump wins a huge share of the <b>Democrats</b>’ non-white base — 25 percent of
African Americans, 31 percent of Hispanics and 41 percent of the Asian vote.<br />
<br />
The conventional wisdom held that Trump was merely a summer fling for
angry voters, a protest candidate whose insults and braggadocio would
soon impose a ceiling on his support. But recent polls suggest that
Trump has raised that ceiling.<br />
<br />
A billionaire who started his campaign in June as a fringe candidate has
now become the front runner. The once unthinkable notion that he could
win the Republican presidential nomination no longer sounds so crazed.<br />
<br />
As businessman Donald Trump has climbed to the top of the Republican
primary polls, political junkies have gone scrambling to explain or
describe the coalition of people supporting him. But the candidate has
offered his own analysis — he says he is giving voice to the
long-dormant <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/08/27/donald-trump-keeps-talking-about-the-silent-majority-is-that-a-racial-dog-whistle/">"silent majority."</a><br />
<br />
Lobbing rhetorical stink bombs at a large group of voters is not the normal way to get ahead in U.S. politics but Donald Trump has turned the do's and don'ts of campaigns on their head, prospering with tactics that could sink anyone else.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "times" , serif;"></span></span>Donald Trump Tweeted; "Remember that I am self-funding my campaign. Hillary, Jeb <i>and the rest
</i>are spending special interest and lobbyist money.100% CONTROLLED"<br />
<br />
Problem is Trump hasn't spent one red cent on advertising . Not a problem for Trump but a big problem for the other Democrat and Republican candidates.

Moves by Russia to send a military advance team to Syria along with
other steps are raising concerns for President Obama that Russian
president Vladamir Putin is planning to greatly expand his military
support for President Bashar al-Assad in Syria John Kerry's state department
said Friday.<br />
<br />
The recently transporting temporary housing units capable of housing
hundreds Russian troops to an airfield in Syria as well as the delivery of a
portable air traffic control station to the airfield to help land Russian planes. The airfield serves Syria main port city of Latakia and is close to the Assad family's ancestral home.<br />
<br />
<br />
Moscow maintains a small naval facility at the Syrian port of Tartus on the Mediterranean Sea. The <a href="http://wikimapia.org/20161375/Joint-Syrian-Russian-naval-facility-Tartus">port of Tartus</a> hosts the only remaining international military base outside of the former Soviet Union.<br />
<br />
Russia’s economic interests in Syria totalled approximately $20 billion, about $5 billion of which are <b>weapons sales. </b>RIA Novosti state news agency quoted Putin as saying. "We are already giving Syria quite serious help with equipment and training soldiers, with our weapons,"<br />
<br />
No mention of US concerns about a possible Russian military buildup, but
said the two discussed "different aspects of the situation in Syria and
its environs, as well as the objectives of the fight against ISIL
and <b>other terrorist groups".</b><br />
<br />
<b>F</b>or moderate Syrian rebels Putin has referred to them as "terrorists" because of their opposition to Assad forces.<br />
<br />
Looks like Vladamir Putin has drawn his own red line in the sand.

<br />
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad warned the Obama administration today that if Iran's nuclear facilities are attacked, the U.S. will <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/secretary-clinton-expresses-concern-growing-military-influence-iran/story?id=11674543" target="external">face a war</a> that "would know no boundaries." <br />
<br />

<br />
He said that Iran is on the brink of becoming a <a href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/mideastmemo/2010/09/ahmedinejad-under-fire-politically-confident-but-cracking-his-conservative-corebrain-drain-saudi-suc.html" target="external">nuclear power</a>, and warned Israel and the U.S. against attacking its nuclear facilities. <br />
<br />
Asked about the possibility of a U.S.-supported Israeli air strike against Iran, the fiery Iranian leader said an attack would be considered an act of war, and suggested the U.S. is unprepared for the consequences. Such a war "would know no boundaries," Ahmedinejad said. "War is not just bombs." <br />

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad</big></big><br />
<br />
President Barack Obama, by ignoring Iranian's president doesn't mean he will go away. By putting your head in the sand on this situation only allows Ahmendinejad to take shorts at your ass, as he done at the United Nations General Assembly. He is trying to show the Arab world that he is not afraid of you and as a school bully trying to make you look bad and weak to the rest of the world.<br />
<big><b><br />
What you are doing now is not working! </b></big></blockquote><br />
<blockquote>US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton embarrassed your administration when she said, "<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iran/8012734/Hillary-Clinton-urges-Iran-to-dump-Mahmoud-Ahmadinejad.html">And I can only hope</a> that there will be some effort inside Iran, by <b>responsible civil and religious leaders</b>, to take hold of the apparatus of the state," That was yesterday and today she has to clear up her statement. Hillary Clinton <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5iRyntoAsbsMq9W-VEPChqbiJiiVw">did not call for regime </a>change in Tehran when she asked at the weekend for "responsible" leaders to assert control in Iran, her spokesman said Monday.<br />
<br />
It looks like President Obama and Hillary Clinton are afraid to upset the bully Mahmoud Ahmedinejad. President Obama and the Democrat Party were upset with President Bush's statement that Iran was an axes of evil. President Bush often repeated this throughout <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_George_W._Bush" title="Presidency of George W. Bush">his presidency</a>, describing governments that he accused of helping <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism" title="Terrorism">terrorism</a> and seeking <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapon_of_mass_destruction" title="Weapon of mass destruction">weapons of mass destruction</a>. Bush labeled <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran" title="Iran">Iran</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ba%27athist_Iraq" title="Ba'athist Iraq">Iraq</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea" title="North Korea">North Korea</a> as the axis of evil.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/LH31Ak01.html">President Obama</a> has <b>publicly rejected</b> the idea that Iran's existing <a class="kLink" href="http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/LH31Ak01.html#" id="KonaLink2" style="position: static; text-decoration: underline ! important;" target="undefined"><span style="color: green; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: static;"><span class="kLink" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom: 1px solid green; color: green; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;"></span></span></a>stock of LEU represents a breakout capability on more than one occasion. He has stated that Iran would <b>have to make an overt move</b> to have a "breakout capability" that would signal its intention to have a nuclear weapon. <br />
<br />
Obama appeared to suggest that there are ways for Iran to demonstrate its intent not to build a nuclear bomb other than ending all enrichment and reducing its stock of low enriched uranium to a desired level. <br />
<br />
So as you can see President Obama will not believe that Iran's nuclear power is not for war until they use it on Israel. What do you believe?<br />

<span id="articleText">President Barack Obama has repeatedly claimed that <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0209/19124.html">his budget would cut the deficit by half</a> by the end of his term. But as <b><a href="http://blog.heritage.org/2009/03/24/bush-deficit-vs-obama-deficit-in-pictures/">Heritage analyst</a></b> Brian Riedl has pointed out, <a href="http://blog.heritage.org/2009/02/26/quick-observations-on-president-obama%E2%80%99s-budget/">given<br />

package, pledging to halve it by 2013 is hardly ambitious.</a> The <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/graphic/2009/03/21/GR2009032100104.html">Washington Post</a> has a great graphic which helps put President Obama’s budget deficits in context of President Bush’s.</span><br />
