John McCain Diagnosed With Brain Cancer

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Phil Helsel and Frank Thorp V. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has been diagnosed with brain cancer, the Mayo Clinic said Wednesday in a statement released on behalf of the senator and his family.

Doctors removed a blood clot from above McCain’s left eye on Friday.

“Subsequent tissue pathology revealed that a primary brain tumor known as a glioblastoma was associated with the blood clot,” the Mayo Clinic said in the statement.

The Mayo Clinic said in the statement that “scanning done since the procedure (a minimally invasive craniotomy with an eyebrow incision) shows that the tissue of concern was completely resected by imaging criteria,” or cut out.

“The Senator and his family are reviewing further treatment options with his Mayo Clinic care team. Treatment options may include a combination of chemotherapy and radiation,” it said. (Read more from “John McCain Diagnosed With Brain Cancer” HERE)

Sen. John McCain Has Brain Cancer, Aggressive Tumor Surgically Removed

By Susan Scutti. Sen. John McCain, 80, has been diagnosed with a primary glioblastoma, a type of brain tumor, Mayo Clinic doctors directly involved in the senator’s care told CNN exclusively. The doctors spoke directly to CNN Chief Medical Correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta . . .

Glioblastoma is a particularly aggressive tumor that forms in the tissue of the brain and spinal cord, according to the American Brain Tumor Association.

A pathologist was in the operating room during the procedure, a minimally invasive craniotomy with an eyebrow incision, said his doctor, who added that the surgery lasted about three to four hours. Post-surgical brain scans show the tissue causing concern has been completely removed. (Read more from “Sen. John McCain Has Brain Cancer, Aggressive Tumor Surgically Removed” HERE)

Yes, Yet Another Clinton-Related Suicide: Haitian Official Shot Ahead of Testimony About Financial Impropriety

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By USSA News. The issue to which [Hatian Official Klaus Eberwein] was to address concerning the Clinton Foundation was misappropriated Haiti earthquake donations from international donors…

Eberwein had acknowledged that he believed his life was in danger, and he was right.

No one expected him to commit suicide. Even the Haiti Libre newspaper reported that he was in “good spirits” and planning for his future, and the idea of him committing suicide shocked both business partners and close friends.

“It’s really shocking,” said Muncheez’s owner Gilbert Bailly. “We grew up together; he was like family.”

Charles Ernest Chatelier, the Haitian government’s director general, issued a statement regarding Eberwein’s untimely death. (Read more from “Yes, yet Another Clinton-Related Suicide: Haitian Official Shot Ahead of Testimony About Financial Impropriety” HERE)

Former Haiti Government Official Shoots Himself in the Head in Miami-Area Hotel

By Jacqueline Charles. Klaus Eberwein, a former Haitian government official, was found dead Tuesday in a South Dade motel room in what the Miami-Dade medical examiner’s office is ruling a suicide.

“He shot himself in the head,” said Veronica Lamar, Miami-Dade medical examiner records supervisor. She listed his time of death at 12:19 p.m . . .

A supporter of former Haitian President Michel Martelly, Eberwein served as director general of the government’s economic development agency, Fonds d’assistance économique et social, better known as FAES. He held the position from May 2012 until February 2015 when he was replaced. He was also a partner in a popular pizza restaurant in Haiti, Muncheez, and has a pizza — the Klaus Special — named after him . . .

Eberwein was scheduled to appear Tuesday before the Haitian Senate’s Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, the head of the commission, Sen. Evalière Beauplan confirmed. The commission is investigating the management of PetroCaribe funds, the money Haiti receives from Venezuela’s discounted oil program.

Writing Your Own ‘Suicide’ Note…Before They Write It for You

By Judi McLeod. Heads up to Charles Ortel, Mike Cernovich and other brave souls who keep digging for the truth about the Clinton Foundation: Make public your own suicide note before your never-to-be-proven killers get to register “SUICIDE” as the cause of your untimely death.

Send out your own ‘Suicide’ note first along the lines of: I (fill-in-the-blank) am researching the mysterious deaths of Seth Rich, John Ashe, Peter E. Smith, Klaus Eberwein and others. I would never choose suicide as the way out of life on earth.” It wouldn’t hurt to add, “nor am I the type to ever drop a barbell on my own neck.” “Ditto for wandering along alone on the streets of Washington, D.C., which should be one of the safest places to be out wandering, rather than the political quagmire it really is.”

Get it notarized, gentlemen, and never stop looking over your shoulders . . .

Deposit all suicide notes with your lawyers, with instructions they are to be read out in the event of (God forbid!) your untimely death . . .

Suicide has become de rigueur in silencing the few with the courage to plumb the depts of the Clinton Foundation. (Read more from “Writing Your Own ‘Suicide’ Note…Before They Write It for You” HERE)

Confirmed: Justice Roberts Is a Leftist When It Counts the Most

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last month, when the Supreme Court allowed the president to follow immigration statutes regarding his temporary moratorium on refugees, I warned that the lower courts would continue their assault on our sovereignty.

Indeed, within days, the same Hawaii judge (District Judge Watson) who violated our sovereignty and was rebuked by the high court, demanded that the administration reflexively and categorically admit any grandparent, cousin, niece, or nephew of a relative residing in the U.S. (whether a citizen or alien). He also demanded that all refugees currently working with resettlement organizations be admitted to the U.S.

Wednesday, the Supreme Court once again ruled against the lower-court judge in part, but continues to open the door for an endless flow of migrants, stealing the sovereignty of the elected branches of government.

In late June, all SCOTUS justices ruled that the Trump travel ban can resume pending the outcome on the merits of the case. But a six-justice majority ordered the administration to temporarily admit all those with a “bona fide relationship” with U.S. relatives or institutions.

Justice Thomas, joined by Justices Alito and Gorsuch dissented and indicated that he would have tossed out the entire injunction because, as any constitutionalist knows, the president and Congress decide who comes into this country, not the courts. Further, Thomas warned that the same lower-court judges would slowly chip away at the order and litigate everyone into admission.

Judge Watson in Hawaii proved the point of Justice Thomas by flip-flopping on his own previous writing and demanding that all extended family of relatives in the U.S. be admitted. He also crowned private (taxpayer-funded) resettlement contractors king over our sovereignty by allowing them to continue resettling more refugees against the national will and the president’s order pursuant to statute.

The administration immediately appealed to the Supreme Court and Wednesday they agreed to lift the latest preliminary injunction from Judge Watson and allow the president to enforce the moratorium against extended relatives.

However, the high court only agreed to stay Watson’s injunction on the refugee policy, but allowed the ruling on extended relatives to remain in place pending the resolution of the … Ninth Circuit! Which means, that when the Ninth Circuit invariably rules with Judge Watson, we will be back in the same place.

Here’s the catch: Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch indicated that they would have stayed Judge Watson’s injunction entirely, allowing the president to determine which relatives he chooses to admit. Notice the growing pattern? Justice Roberts continues to join the Left on numerous immigration issues and is clearly indicating that he believes the courts have a substantial role in controlling immigration policy, albeit not as much as some of the far-left judges think.

Some legal apologists for the judicial institution might suggest that Roberts is merely being judicious in allowing the appeals process to continue without heavy-handed intervention from the Supreme Court. But putting aside the fact that Roberts has signed onto a number of other terrible immigration opinions this term (Maslenjak v. US, Lee v. U.S, Sessions v. Morales-Santana, to name a few), his “passive” approach in this case is dead wrong.

If we are to believe, as we are essentially taught, that the Supreme Court rules over the other branches of government (and even God and natural law), then they are surely supreme over the lower courts within the same department of government.

When lower courts step so far out of bounds and take over an area of law that settled court decisions have made clear is solely within the province of congressional statute, the high-court justices have an obligation to step in quash them immediately.

Somehow, the high court seems all too alacritous to step in to stay the few lower-court decisions with conservative outcomes (many Fifth Circuit decisions on abortion), yet somehow they are always passive even when, by their own admission, lower courts have jumped off the left cliff.

As I’ve warned before, given that the lower courts are going to chip away at this order, Trump should utilize the partial SCOTUS victory to expand the moratorium both in terms of duration and the number of countries it affects.

The order should cover all countries with a significant presence of terror outlets. Furthermore, with appropriation season in full swing, the administration should demand that Republicans prohibit funding for the issuance of any visa from those countries and for the refugee resettlement program. This will preempt the courts and stop them in their tracks.

Finally, we must recognize that, aside from the travel ban, the lower courts are blocking almost every deportation of criminal aliens. Unless something is done to systemically kick the courts out of the immigration issue once and for all, we are no longer a sovereign nation. And no, we have not won back the courts — there is still a clear 6-3 liberal majority on so many issues that matter. Even if Anthony Kennedy retires next year, we already know who will be the new “Kennedy vote.” (For more from the author of “Confirmed: Justice Roberts Is a Leftist When It Counts the Most” please click HERE)

Does Wall Street Bully or Bribe Prosecutors? Revolving Doors at the DOJ

/0 Comments/in , /by

Editor’s note: this is yet another confirmation of the leveraging of America’s leaders like we reported HERE, months ago. See the video related to this below.

The recently published book The Chicken Shit Club by Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Jesse Eisinger, documents a massive account of corporate greed and impunity. The book alleges that the DOJ has a culture of a revolving door where Wall Street personnel become federal agents, even prosecutors, who then betray the public’s trust and their sworn duty, failing to arrest people involved in massive financial schemes.

From the synopsis of the book:

Exposing one of the most important scandals of our time, The Chickenshit Club provides a clear, detailed explanation as to how our Justice Department has come to avoid, bungle, and mismanage the fight to bring these alleged criminals to justice.

The switching of sides is against the law, but you wouldn’t know it was because it’s so commonly done and everyone knows it.

It’s known as the revolving door act, and since its enactment in 1962, it’s been illegal under 18 U.S.C. § 207 for former government employees to influence an investigation into a “particular matter” they “participated in, personally and substantially while an employee” under the court of law.

Section 207(a)(1) permanently bans former government employees from “knowingly making, with the intent to influence, any communication to or appearance before any officer or employee of any department, agency, court, or court-martial” on behalf of any person in connection with a “particular matter” in which A) “the United States is a party or has a direct and substantial interest, B) the former employee participated personally and substantially while an employee, and C) that involved a specific party or parties at the time of such participation.”

One such example of this is the 50 million dollar no-bid Deferred Prosecution Agreement then U.S. Attorney Chris Christie signed to John Ashcroft his former boss and U.S. Attorney General to “monitor a large corporation willing to settle criminal charges out of court.”

In fact, at the time Christie said himself that he didn’t think it was “a problem to hire somebody who used to be your boss but no longer is.”

The U.S. Courts.gov website has recently archived the filmed Government in Sunshine Act hearings of June 2007, where former U.S. AG John Ashcroft is quoted condemning the vendibility, specifically the U.S. AG wrote that:

Bankruptcy court corruption is not just a matter of bankruptcy trustees in collusion with corrupt bankruptcy judges. The corruption is supported, and justice hindered by high ranking officials in the United States Trustee Program. The corruption has advanced to punishing any and all who mention the criminal acts of trustees and organized crime operating through the United States Bankruptcy Courts. As though greed is not enough, the trustees, in collusion with others, intentionally go forth to destroy lives. Exemptions provided by law are denied, debtors. Cases are intentionally, and unreasonably kept open for years. Parties in cases are sanctioned to discourage them from pursuing justice. Contempt of court powers are misused to coerce litigants into agreeing with extortion demands. This does not ensure integrity and restore public confidence.

“The American public, victimized and held hostage by bankruptcy court corruption, have nowhere to turn,” Ashcroft said. (archived)

It is easy to understand why bright legal minds, such as U.S. attorneys and SEC agents become willfully blind to Wall Street racketeering. It’s greed, after all; who doesn’t want to be a millionaire and not have to worry about receiving next week’s paycheck?

All oaths of office are forgotten – to protect and serve the Constitution of the United States from enemies foreign and domestic – when justice is turned upside down by millions of dollars labeled as “Deferred Prosecution Agreements.”

U.S. Attorney Chris Christie then became the Governor of NJ and John Ashcroft became more enriched as a top exec at Blackwater.

This journalist wonders if anybody remembers what we use to call it when federal agents received millions of dollars – to “defer” investigations and prosecutions! (For more from the author of “Does Wall Street Bully or Bribe Prosecutors? Revolving Doors at the DOJ” please click HERE)

Guess How Much of Trump’s Wall Will Be Funded With House Bill

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump’s famous border wall may be less big and beautiful than he imagined, with a House panel on Tuesday advancing a bill that would allocate funding for just 28 miles of new wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Homeland Security bill, which passed the House Appropriations Committee, has $1.57 billion in border infrastructure funds, including $498 million for 28 miles of new levee wall in the Rio Grande Valley, amounting to $17.8 million per mile.

The bill includes another $784 million for 32 miles of new “border fencing” in the area, while $251 million was set aside for 14 miles of “secondary fencing” in San Diego, Calif.

The funding builds on $15 million in funding appropriated for 2017 to replace 40 miles of primary fencing, $102 million for 14 miles in San Diego and $175 million for 24 miles in El Paso, Texas.

The 2018 spending bill also includes funds for mobile video surveillance systems, ground sensors, towers and funds for combatting cross-border tunnels. (Read more from “Guess How Much of Trump’s Wall Will Be Funded With House Bill” HERE)

Hundreds of ICE Agents Deploy to Sanctuary Cities

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The head of the U.S. government’s lead immigration enforcement agency said Tuesday that he will send a wave of agents to arrest criminal aliens residing in sanctuary cities, focusing attention on interior operations as illegal crossings at the southern border continue falling.

Thomas Homan, the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), told the Washington Examiner that the Trump administration has empowered law enforcement to strictly enforce immigration laws, a welcome change from previous administrations he has worked under during his 30-year career as an immigration cop.

“Now they have meaning to their jobs,” Homan said, referring to U.S. Border Patrol and ICE agents. “What this president has done is taken the handcuffs off of law enforcement officers who are charged with enforcing immigration laws.”

Homan noted that, since President Donald Trump took office, illegal border crossings have fallen to their lowest level in a decade. Despite a slight uptick in border arrests — a proxy for illegal immigration — illegal crossings of the U.S.-Mexico border in June were 53 percent lower than in the same month last year, a result Homan attributed to Trump’s orders on immigration enforcement.

Pro-Rape Books at U.K.’s 1st State-Funded Muslim School

/0 Comments/in , /by

England’s first state-funded Muslim secondary schools – that segregated boys and girls and had books promoting domestic violence and marital rape – is to be taken over by the Government.

The Al-Hijrah School in Birmingham, which became state-funded in 2001, was put into special measures last summer after the pro-rape texts were found in the institution’s library and a child died from an allergic reaction.

In a report published in May, the inspector Ofsted also identified bullying, said the playground was chaotic, teaching was poor, pupils were not safe and some staff did not know what to do in medical emergencies. The school was given an “inadequate” judgment, the lowest ranking.

The damning report also criticised the school’s policy of segregating boys and girls, sparking a lengthy legal battle, which is still ongoing. The school attempted to suppress the report’s findings with funding from Birmingham city council.

The appeal court judges were asked last week to make a definitive ruling in the case. If Ofsted wins, up to 20 faith schools that teach boys and girls separately will be reinspected and may have to change their arrangements.

What’s the Truth About the Massive Iceberg That Caused a Panic This Week?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Several media outlets reported Wednesday that an enormous iceberg the size of Delaware had broken off an ice shelf in Antarctica. Politicians, journalists and others quickly associated the news with climate change . . .

Leading experts have found no direct evidence to link the event to climate change, although some within the field disagree. While many experts describe the iceberg formation as a natural occurrence, many do believe climate change caused the partial collapse of Antarctic ice shelves in recent history . . .

Scientists have monitored a rift at the Larsen ice shelf in Antarctica for years. When researchers confirmed Wednesday that a massive iceberg had formed, some in the media and elsewhere reflexively attributed the event to climate change.

But several climate scientists have pushed back against the notion that climate change caused the iceberg to form. “We’ve been surprised by the level of interest in what may simply be a rare but natural occurrence,” Adrian Luckman, glaciology professor at Swansea University, wrote in an article.

Icebergs may form as part of a regular process known as calving, which occurs on stable ice shelves every few decades. (Read more from “What’s the Truth About the Massive Iceberg That Caused a Panic This Week?” HERE)

“Defense of Christianity” demonstration in front of Calgary’s City Hall turned violent.

Street Church had a valid permit and was ready to begin when angry members of Calgary’s “Anti-Fascist Action” group started screaming in the faces of demonstrators.

The “Street Church” demonstrators screamed back, “Jesus loves you and wants to save your soul,” and similar messages. Confrontations escalated, culminating in the “Anti-Fascist” group starting several mixed martial arts fights.

The rally disintegrated into a mass brawl quickly as counter-protesters cursed at, pushed, threw down, kicked, and began punching Street Church members. (Read more from “Christian Demonstrators Attacked, Injured by Liberals Waving Gay Pride Flag” HERE)

All He Does Is Fail: Reap What You Sowed, Mitch McConnell

/0 Comments/in , /by

Now that a group of liberal GOP senators, including Lisa Murkowski, Shelly Moore Capito, and Susan Collins, have made it clear they oppose repeal of Obamacare, some commentators are suggesting that McConnell and party leadership are in an untenable position. They blame conservatives for dissenting from the Right, forcing leadership into a scenario where the liberal flank of the party is also emboldened to dissent from the Left, leaving “mainstream” Republicans sandwiched in between with nothing to pass.

Thus, isn’t Mitch McConnell the victim and Senator Mike Lee the villain?

The short answer is that the problem with the party runs much deeper than the three or so “most liberal” Republicans. The problem is that the majority of the party, leadership members, and “mainstream” elected Republicans agree with the liberal Republicans in principle. They are merely using them as foils.

Why is it that we have so many Republicans who openly support every tenet of Obamacare in the first place? And not just from blue states. From Lisa Murkowski and John McCain to Lindsey Graham, Shelly Moore Capito, Lamar Alexander, and Bill Cassidy, the GOP conference is full of RINOs.

The answer is simple. GOP bosses have no problem with these people and will continue to support them. They stand for nothing. They have failed to offer a free market vision for health care (or anything else for that matter) and don’t disagree with any of the principles from the left flank of the caucus. These senators who are more openly liberal know that the GOP platform is a joke and a free-for-all. They know that leadership will continue to help them get elected, help new liberal Republicans win primaries, and tolerate endless dissent.

The dissents from Mike Lee and Rand Paul are not equivalent to the dissents from Capito and Murkwoski. While the former are upholding the GOP promise and the GOP platform, and even compromising on it, the other side is not willing to adopt a single tenet of what they signed onto during the election. But unlike conservatives who are raked over the coals and marginalized for believing in what the party claims it stands for, these liberal Republicans get off scot-free.

It’s precisely because we didn’t have a president and party leadership speaking with one voice on GOP free market principles that the left flank of the party felt emboldened to promote Obamacare. They understand that party leaders don’t care.

A functioning party that actually stands for something will always have slightly differing shades of its ideology and some differing opinions, but everyone is united behind fundamental principles. Just look at the Democrat Party. They never have problems on legacy issues in a significant way from their “right flank,” because the core center of the party leadership actually believes in their platform.

Think about it: when was the last time you found a Democrat undermining her party’s agenda in any meaningful way, much less on a core legacy item? Where are the Democrats supporting traditional marriage or even dissenting from the party line on the most extreme ideas of promoting sex-change operations in the military? Not a single one Democrat voted against funding sex-change operations in the military.

When was the last time a Democrat supported free markets?

When was the last time a Democrat supported private retirement accounts?

When was the last time a Democrat supported strong borders and opposed illegal immigration?

Even the Democrats from the reddest of red states are fully in cahoots with their party leadership. They merely posture to the Right on a few issues, such as guns, but will never thwart their party in a meaningful way. In fact, the only action we’ve seen from “pro-gun” Joe Manchin was his effort to further the gun-control agenda. It’s all a sham. He has never dissented from the pro-abortion agenda or the transgender agenda — ever! His work in the Senate is completely divorced from his campaign ads.

Yet we have Republicans even from red states who can’t uphold the most basic tenets of the GOP platform. Whereas Democrats lie to the voters in pursuit of their party’s platform, Republicans lie to the voters in pursuit of the other party’s platform.

If the mainstream elected Republicans actually believed in their party’s platform with as much conviction as mainstream Democrats believe in thiers, there would be no place for those who are completely out of touch with those values.

But it’s worse than the callous attitude toward enforcing the platform. Republicans like Mitch McConnell have ensured that these very liberal Republicans continue to win primaries. After Lisa Murkowski ran as an Independent in 2010, and knowing her liberal views on every single issue under the sun, including health care and abortion, why did they help her win over Joe Miller in 2016? They should have downright endorsed Joe Miller if they really believed in their platform. After all, Alaska is a red state.

Furthermore, why do we have a pro-abortion liberal like Capito in a solidly pro-life state like West Virginia? This is because party bosses make it clear that candidates like Mike Lee have no place in the party, even in red states, and that no matter how liberal one of the establishment candidates is, they will support that candidate until the bitter end. At this very juncture, the entire party infrastructure is busy promoting similar candidates in the 2018 primaries — candidates who couldn’t care less about the party platform.

As such, why should conservatives sell out their principles and take ownership of an Obamacare bailout bill just to placate members who were only elected thanks to the work of McConnell and Company? Let him reap what he sows.

The problem with the Republican Party is not that there are a few fringe Republicans on the Left who like to vote with the Democrats. It’s that, unlike with Democrats, there are only a few “fringe” Republicans who actually believe in the platform of the party.
