White House refuses to hand over documents relating to former National Security Advisor's foreign payments

Samuel Osborne Thursday 27 April 2017 12:22

George W Bush's chief ethics lawyer has called for Donald Trump to be impeached if he doesn't comply with Congress's demand to release documents relating to Michael Flynn.

Mr Flynn resigned less than a month into the job after it was revealed he had failed to tell Vice President mike Pence about conversations he had with Russian officials during the t***sition period.


Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein has said the investigation could reveal a "cover up" of alleged connections between Mr Trump's team and Russia.

I for one wish I knew the t***h of Trump's business dealings, which includes under the table, by his own words he's a deal maker.

I am pretty sure this is a s**m, I sure hope it is. I arrived home from work to find a message on my answering machine. It was a woman's voice and sounded all bureaucratic and official, saying that the IRS is filing a lawsuit against me and I needed to call an 800 phone number for more information. I called the number from another line and somebody identifying themselves as the IRS answered. I went to the IRS website and wanted to report this as a s**m. I was directed to tigta.gov and started to fill out their form, but these guys wanted way too much personal information. I wasn't sure these guys were legitimate.

I am curious if anyone has information on this. I am sure the IRS does not operated like this.

lol, look at the i***t the RepubliCON'S have put in the White House. Don (The Con) has continued to divide our Nation and he has one objective, his master plan is to allow himself, his family and his group of corrupt cabinet members to become RICHER by making changes to as many policies and laws that would allow them as he would put it, " MAKE YUGE, BEAUTIFUL CHANGES" ... lol, this guy is as "CORRUPT" as they come.
All of his Executive Orders have been aimed at making changes to policies that President Obama put into place to help the citizens of the United States. Don (The Con), is wiping them out so that his friends who run big business have an opportunity to become richer.
The RepubliCON'S attempt to repeal and replace ACA, also known as ObamaCare is really just a way to get the RICH a large tax cut, they don't care if we, the poor and middle class won't be able to afford health care once they've changed the law, their only concern is to create a large one sided tax cut for his RICH friends.
Don (The Con) is an embarrassment to the United States and we are headed down the wrong road with him and his group of r****t that he claims will "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN", what a joke, his real slogan should be, "MAKE AMERICA R****T AGAIN", because that's exactly where the tRump train is headed ...
Wake up people ...

Rubio: Mexico Not Footing the Bill for the Wall
By

Sen. Marco Rubio, fresh from meeting with Mexican officials, said Sunday that he suspected that Mexico would not pay for a border wall between their country and ours. On ABC’s “This Week,” Rubio said that Trump’s promise to make our southern amigos pony up the money was likely to be broken.

“Well, we met with the foreign minister as well and it did come up in our meeting,” Rubio said. “Let me just say, Mexico’s not going to pay for the wall. And by the way, America should, if we believe that’s in our national interest to do so.”

Of course, that last line is just a way for Rubio to pretend that he’s in favor of the wall and, you know, he’s just reporting the facts as they are. Which is ridiculous, because Rubio was part of the Gang of Eight that tried to pass comprehensive immigration reform under Obama…a package that would have included amnesty for nearly every i*****l i*******t in the country. That was the failed bill that set the Republican Party on the path to Donald Trump, and Rubio has been trying to distance himself from it ever since.

That’s not to say Rubio is a terrible person or anything; he’s just got the usual GOP weak spot for immigrants. These guys do not want anything to do with Trump’s immigration policies, even though those policies percolated out of the GOP’s opposition to Obama’s executive orders. But Republicans wanted to have it both ways: Preach the hardline rhetoric when fighting Obama, but then roll it back to ObamaLite when it came time to campaign and govern. Trump caught on to this hypocrisy, and he went out there with a message that matched what Republicans were saying when they didn’t have to stand accountable. And look how the people responded!

Rubio went on to say that the U.S. could work with Mexico for the mutual benefit of both countries.

“I think the Mexican government is open to renegotiating key points of NAFTA on intellectual property as an example. I think they have a real interest in their border security, in their southern border,” Rubio said. “I think Mexico’s willing to be a partner in El Salvador, Guatemala, the Honduras, the Northern Triangle countries that are the source of a lot of the migration that’s coming in through Mexico. Mexico’s as much a t***sit point now as it is a source of origin for people coming into the United States.”

That’s fantastic. But while they’re working with us on that partnership, why not slip us a few bucks for the wall? It’s only fair, considering how their lack of border security is at least partly to blame for the problems on ours. That’s what Rubio’s saying, right? That the reason we’re having so many problems at the border is that Mexico can’t control their own southern situation? Okay, but then why should the entire monetary burden fall on us? Oh, well, it’s obvious; Mexico doesn’t care about stopping these hooligans because none of them care to stick around in their country. It’s a “t***sit point.” It’s a sort of purgatory for U.S.-bound Central Americans. Not their problem.

Well, Trump has promised to make it their problem. And that’s what no one seems to understand. Whenever someone says, “Mexico is not paying for the wall,” it’s like they thought the Mexican president was going to write Trump a check on January 20th. Come on. Trump never said he would “appreciate it if Mexico paid for the wall.” He said he would MAKE them pay for it.

Maybe he’ll make good on that promise and maybe not, but what Mexican officials are saying today about financing the wall has no relevance on the outcome one way or the other.

In the meantime, maybe Rubio could, you know, actually show some support for the president’s agenda. Too much to ask?
http://www.conservativefreepress.com

Mexico better help pay for the Wall,after all their people, sneak into the United States, illegally, and use us for what ever they want, then they expect us to support them,HUH!!!! Fat Chance. Trump needs to lower the Hammer, on these Selfish Moochers. We don't owe them one Plug Nickle. We are being Brainwashed, Crimes, Sanctuary Cities, etc..... What do y'all think of this? And those of us who let these trespassers in our Country, are stupid, and Brainwashed, beyond repair.

Sorry for the lack of pictures and such but I'm tired lately and just couldn't muster the effort needed, my apologies.

THE CIVIL WAR IS HERE
The left doesn’t want to secede. It wants to rule.
March 27, 2017



Daniel Greenfield







Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.

A civil war has begun.

This civil war is very different than the last one. There are no cannons or cavalry charges. The left doesn’t want to secede. It wants to rule. Political conflicts become civil wars when one side refuses to accept the existing authority. The left has rejected all forms of authority that it doesn’t control.

The left has rejected the outcome of the last two p**********l e******ns won by Republicans. It has rejected the judicial authority of the Supreme Court when it decisions don’t accord with its agenda. It rejects the legislative authority of Congress when it is not dominated by the left.

It rejected the Constitution so long ago that it hardly bears mentioning.

It was for total unilateral executive authority under Obama. And now it’s for states unilaterally deciding what laws they will follow. (As long as that involves defying i*********n l*ws under Trump, not following them under Obama.) It was for the sacrosanct authority of the Senate when it held the majority. Then it decried the Senate as an outmoded institution when the Republicans took it over.

It was for Obama defying the orders of Federal judges, no matter how well grounded in existing law, and it is for Federal judges overriding any order by Trump on any grounds whatsoever. It was for Obama penalizing whistleblowers, but now undermining the government from within has become “patriotic”.

There is no form of legal authority that the left accepts as a permanent institution. It only utilizes forms of authority selectively when it controls them. But when government officials refuse the orders of the duly elected government because their allegiance is to an ideology whose agenda is in conflict with the President and Congress, that’s not activism, protest, politics or civil disobedience; it’s treason.

After losing Congress, the left consolidated its authority in the White House. After losing the White House, the left shifted its center of authority to Federal judges and unelected government officials. Each defeat led the radicalized Democrats to relocate from more democratic to less democratic institutions.

This isn’t just hypocrisy. That’s a common political sin. Hypocrites maneuver within the system. The left has no allegiance to the system. It accepts no laws other than those dictated by its ideology.

Democrats have become radicalized by the left. This doesn’t just mean that they pursue all sorts of bad policies. It means that their first and foremost allegiance is to an ideology, not the Constitution, not our country or our system of government. All of those are only to be used as vehicles for their ideology.

That’s why compromise has become impossible.

Our system of government was designed to allow different groups to negotiate their differences. But those differences were supposed to be based around finding shared interests. The most profound of these shared interests was that of a common country based around certain civilizational values. The left has replaced these Founding ideas with radically different notions and principles. It has rejected the primary importance of the country. As a result it shares little in the way of interests or values.

Instead it has retreated to cultural urban and suburban enclaves where it has centralized tremendous amounts of power while disregarding the interests and values of most of the country. If it considers them at all, it is convinced that they will shortly disappear to be replaced by compliant immigrants and college indoctrinated l*****ts who will form a permanent demographic majority for its agenda.

But it couldn’t wait that long because it is animated by the conviction that enforcing its ideas is urgent and inevitable. And so it turned what had been a hidden t***sition into an open break.

In the hidden t***sition, its authority figures had hijacked the law and every political office they held to pursue their ideological agenda. The left had used its vast cultural power to manufacture a consensus that was slowly t***sitioning the country from American values to its values and agendas. The right had proven largely impotent in the face of a program which corrupted and subverted from within.

The left was enormously successful in this regard. It was so successful that it lost all sense of proportion and decided to be open about its views and to launch a political power struggle after losing an e******n.

The Democrats were no longer being slowly injected with l*****t ideology. Instead the left openly took over and demanded allegiance to open borders, identity politics and environmental fanaticism. The exodus of v**ers wiped out the Democrats across much of what the left deemed flyover country.

The left responded to democratic defeats by retreating deeper into undemocratic institutions, whether it was the bureaucracy or the corporate media, while doubling down on its political radicalism. It is now openly defying the outcome of a national e******n using a coalition of bureaucrats, corporations, unelected officials, celebrities and reporters that are based out of its cultural and political enclaves.

It has responded to a lost e******n by constructing sanctuary cities and states thereby turning a cultural and ideological secession into a legal secession. But while secessionists want to be left alone authoritarians want everyone to follow their laws. The left is an authoritarian movement that wants total compliance with its dictates with severe punishments for those who disobey.

The left describes its actions as principled. But more accurately they are ideological. Officials at various levels of government have rejected the authority of the President of the United States, of Congress and of the Constitution because those are at odds with their radical ideology. Judges have cloaked this rejection in law. Mayors and governors are not even pretending that their actions are lawful.

The choices of this civil war are painfully clear.

We can have a system of government based around the Constitution with democratically elected representatives. Or we can have one based on the ideological principles of the left in which all laws and processes, including e******ns and the Constitution, are fig leaves for enforcing social justice.

But we cannot have both.

Some civil wars happen when a political conflict can’t be resolved at the political level. The really bad ones happen when an irresolvable political conflict combines with an irresolvable cultural conflict.

That is what we have now.

The left has made it clear that it will not accept the lawful authority of our system of government. It will not accept the outcome of e******ns. It will not accept these things because they are at odds with its ideology and because they represent the will of large portions of the country whom they despise.

The question is what comes next.

The last time around growing tensions began to explode in violent confrontations between extremists on both sides. These extremists were lauded by moderates who mainstreamed their views. The first Republican president was elected and rejected. The political tensions led to conflict and then civil war.

The left doesn’t believe in secession. It’s an authoritarian political movement that has lost democratic authority. There is now a political power struggle underway between the democratically elected officials and the undemocratic machinery of government aided by a handful of judges and local elected officials.

What this really means is that there are two competing governments; the legal government and a treasonous anti-government of the left. If this political conflict progresses, agencies and individuals at every level of government will be asked to demonstrate their allegiance to these two competing governments. And that can swiftly and explosively t***sform into an actual civil war.

There is no sign that the left understands or is troubled by the implications of the conflict it has initiated. And there are few signs that Democrats properly understand the dangerous road that the radical left is drawing them toward. The left assumes that the winners of a democratic e******n will back down rather than stand on their authority. It is unprepared for the possibility that democracy won’t die in darkness.

Civil wars end when one side is forced to accept the authority of the other. The left expects everyone to accept its ideological authority. Conservatives expect the left to accept Constitutional authority. The conflict is still political and cultural. It’s being fought in the media and within the government. But if neither side backs down, then it will go beyond words as both sides give contradictory orders.

The left is a treasonous movement. The Democrats became a treasonous organization when they fell under the sway of a movement that rejects our system of government, its laws and its e******ns. Now their treason is coming to a head. They are engaged in a struggle for power against the government. That’s not protest. It’s not activism. The old treason of the sixties has come of age. A civil war has begun.

This is a primal conflict between a totalitarian system and a democratic system. Its outcome will determine whether we will be a free nation or a nation of s***es.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I agree with what was said in thefederalist.com. However, I think we poked at the hornets nest, Russia does not take kindly to anyone messing with their friend Assad. I hope that they Syrian people understand why we did what we did. We can lonly hope that they do.

"Is The United States About To Bomb North Korea? The White House Says ‘The Clock Has Now Run Out’"

"Is The United States About To Bomb North Korea?
The White House Says ‘The Clock Has Now Run Out’"
By Michael Snyder

"I got chills when I saw a CNN report that said that a White House official has just warned that “the clock has now run out” on North Korea’s nuclear program and that “all options are on the table”. That second phrase has been repeatedly used by members of the Trump administration in recent days, and everyone knows what it means. When I wrote that a conflict with North Korea could be “Trump’s first war” last month, I was still hoping that cooler heads would prevail and that a military conflict could be avoided. Unfortunately, it appears that a peaceful solution is not in the cards, and that means that the United States may soon start bombing North Korea. And of course if that happens the North Koreans will strike back with wh**ever they can, and that includes nuclear weapons.

I don’t know if I have the words to effectively communicate how serious this situation could become. We have gotten to the point where the White House is openly talking of going to war with a nuclear power: "A senior White House official issued a dire warning to reporters Tuesday on the state of North Korea’s nuclear program, declaring “the clock has now run out and all options are on the table.” “The clock has now run out, and all options are on the table,” the official said, pointing to the failure of successive administration’s efforts to negotiate an end to North Korea’s nuclear program."

Later this week, President Trump is going to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Florida. The eyes of the entire world will be on this summit, because everyone knows that Trump is going to press the Chinese leader for help on resolving the crisis with North Korea.

But what can China actually do? The Chinese could cut off trade with North Korea, and that would definitely hurt, but North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appears to have become convinced that long range nuclear missiles are the key to the survival of his regime, and so he will never give up his nuclear program. And the Chinese will certainly not strike North Korea militarily, and so ultimately if something is going to be done to stop North Korea from getting long range nuclear missiles it will be up to the United States.

On Tuesday morning, North Korea once again showed their defiance by firing yet another test missile into the Sea of Japan: "The missile was fired from the Sinpo region at 10.40pm GMT (6.10am local time) on the c*******t nation’s east coast and landed into the sea off the Korean peninsula, South Korean military officials confirmed. The rocket is believed to have flown around 37 miles before crashing into the sea. Specific details about the type of projectile were not immediately available." Kim Jong Un conducted more missile tests in 2016 than his father did in nearly two decades. It has become crystal clear that North Korea is not going to back down.

President Trump is still hoping that China will step up to the plate, but if the Chinese don’t he has already stated that the United States is fully prepared to “act alone”. In fact, he made headlines all over the planet when he told the Financial Times the following: “Well if China is not going to solve North Korea, we will. That is all I am telling you.” It doesn’t take much imagination to figure out what Trump is saying there. Previous administrations have tried sanctions and negotiations for decades, and they all failed.

In the end, Trump is going to be faced with a choice whether to bomb North Korea or not, and four-star general Jack Keane says that bombing North Korea “may be the only option left”: A four-star general with close ties to Donald Trump has warned that military strikes are ‘rapidly’ becoming the only solution to North Korea’s nuclear program. Jack Keane, who declined the President’s offer to become Defense Secretary last year, said bombing Kim Jong-un’s nuclear facilities ‘may be the only option left. But bombing North Korea is not like bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya or Syria. The North Koreans already have nuclear weapons, and the U.S. better destroy them all in an overwhelming initial assault, because Kim Jong Un will use any that survive to strike back.

If you doubt this, just consider what a very high level North Korean defector just told Lester Holt of NBC News: "A senior North Korean defector has told NBC News that the country’s “desperate” dictator is prepared to use nuclear weapons to strike the United States and its allies. Thae Yong Ho is the most high profile North Korean defector in two decades, meaning he is able to give a rare insight into the secretive, authoritarian regime. According to Thae, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is “desperate in maintaining his rule by relying on his [development of] nuclear weapons and ICBM.” He was using an acronym for intercontinental ballistic missiles - a long range rocket that in theory would be capable of hitting the U.S. North Korea is currently developing an intercontinental ballistic missile known as the “Taepodong 2” that will have a range of approximately 8000 kilometers. In other words, it would be capable of striking cities in the western portion of the United States."

It is unthinkable that we would allow a tyrannical leader that is literally insane and that is obsessed with destroying the United States to have such a weapon. But the moment that we start dropping bombs on North Korea we will start a war in which millions could die. Wh**ever nuclear weapons are missed in the first assault will likely be fired at U.S. military bases in Japan or at South Korea’s capital city of Seoul. Approximately 10 million people live in Seoul, so the death toll would be absolutely enormous. And even if all North Korean nuclear devices are destroyed by the first attack, the North Koreans still have thousands of artillery guns and rocket launchers trained on Seoul, and they would not hesitate to use their vast stockpile of chemical warheads.

After the initial North Korean barrage, the fourth largest military on the entire planet would start pouring across the border in a massive invasion of South Korea. The U.S. military would be forced to respond with large scale ground forces if South Korea would have any chance of surviving, and just like in the first Korean War the Chinese may decide to respond to that move by committing their own troops to the war on the side of North Korea.

This is a season of “wars and rumors of wars”, and most Americans have no idea how dangerously close we are to the beginning of World War III. My hope is that a peaceful way out of this crisis can still be found, but at this point that is becoming increasingly difficult to imagine.

If Donald Trump decides to go to war with North Korea, he needs to hit them with an absolutely overwhelming first strike that takes out every single North Korean nuke, the bulk of North Korea’s artillery and rockets, and the entire North Korean leadership team within the first few minutes of the attack. It is hard to imagine a scenario that does not involve nukes that would accomplish that.

And Donald Trump better get the public approval of South Korean and Japanese leadership before ever attempting such an attack, because they will likely pay the highest price if North Korea is able to strike back. If South Korea or Japan balk at backing such an operation and then they get hit by North Korean nukes, the United States could lose them as friends and allies forever. The stakes are incredibly high, and there are so many things that could go wrong. So let us pray for peace, because the alternative is almost too horrible to imagine."
