Bezos’ Trump-Saudi Collusion Conspiracy Theory Goes Down in Flames

/0 Comments/in , /by

Amazon founder and Washington Post publisher Jeff Bezos has put forward a horde of what now appear to be provably false accusations and full-blown conspiracy theories surrounding President Trump and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s alleged involvement in publicizing his extramarital activities.

Last month, Bezos unexpectedly broke the news via Twitter that he and his wife of 25 years were getting divorced. Later that day, it became clear that he was pre-empting an embarrassing saga that involved the National Enquirer tabloid acquiring racy texts and photos that the billionaire executive had been sending to his mistress.

Instead of recognizing that he had conducted himself inappropriately and taking responsibility for his actions, Bezos wrote a Medium post accusing various entities of conducting an “extortion and blackmail” campaign against him.

The Amazon founder implied in his post that it was possible the National Enquirer was on a mission to destroy him due to the Washington Post’s coverage of Saudi Arabia and President Trump.

“Here’s a piece of context: My ownership of the Washington Post is a complexifier for me. It’s unavoidable that certain powerful people who experience Washington Post news coverage will wrongly conclude I am their enemy,” Bezos wrote. “President Trump is one of those people, obvious by his many tweets. Also, The Post’s essential and unrelenting coverage of the murder of its columnist Jamal Khashoggi is undoubtedly unpopular in certain circles.”

The Washington Post has taken to extreme measures in publishing unrelentingly negative stories against Saudi Arabia. Following Khashoggi’s death, The Post became weaponized into an open forum for foreign governments and radical Islamist and jihadi groups opposed to Saudi Arabia’s role in the Middle East. The Post routinely falsely categorized its deceased Islamist columnist Khashoggi as a democracy advocate, a journalist, and a voice for reform, none of which is even remotely true.

“For reasons still to be better understood, the Saudi angle seems to hit a particularly sensitive nerve,” Bezos said in promoting the evidence-free conspiracy theory that Saudi Arabia was involved in his personal affairs.

With each day that passed, Bezos appeared to become more and more convinced that the publicizing of his extramarital affair was the result of a Trump-Saudi-National Enquirer collusion conspiracy. They were all out to get him, for a variety of reasons, he concluded.

As recently as this past weekend, a private investigator hired by Mr. Bezos was telling reporters (including individuals who work for Bezos’ Washington Post) that it was possible the Trump administration itself had “hacked” his text messages.

All three parties alleged in the Bezos conspiracy theory immediately and unequivocally rejected the idea that they were involved at all. Nonetheless, the government “hacking” and Trump-Saudi conspiracy theory set off a firestorm in the media, with unrelenting coverage on CNN and MSNBC, along with countless legacy media reporters and NeverTrump commentators parroting the completely unproven claims trotted out by the Bezos machine. Some commentators, such as CNN’s Don Lemon, even celebrated the conspiratorial allegations as a “boss move.”

But the simple truth is much less compelling.

This week, we found out that the Bezos investigation has concluded, only to report that it was his mistress’s brother who apparently leaked the text messages to the Enquirer. The AP reported Monday:

“Private investigators working for Jeff Bezos have concluded that the brother of the Amazon CEO’s mistress leaked the couple’s intimate text messages to the National Enquirer.”

And just like that, the Trump-Saudi Arabia-National Enquirer collusion conspiracy theory — akin to the evidence-free Trump-Russia conspiracy theories that have saturated the media for the past three years — has disappeared. In an attempt to redirect his embarrassing misdeeds, Jeff Bezos smeared President Trump and the government of Saudi Arabia and falsely accused them of wrongdoing.

Given how his prized pet project, the Washington Post, has covered President Trump and Saudi Arabia over the past couple of years, they certainly should not expect an apology from Bezos any time soon.

Conservatives Balk at GOP Border Deal ‘Cave’ to Keep Government Open

/0 Comments/in , /by

After Republicans and Democrats reached an agreement in principle on border security, details of the bipartisan budget deal to keep the government open Friday have begun to surface, and conservatives are calling it a “cave.”

“We’ve had a good evening. We’ve reached an agreement in principle between us on the Homeland Security and the other six bills,” Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., told reporters Monday night. According to The Hill, the budget deal will include $1.375 billion for physical barriers and 55 new miles of fencing, but specifically prohibits the construction of concrete wall. Democrats reportedly gave up on their demand to cap the number of ICE detention beds in the interior of the country to limit the number of illegal immigrants the Trump administration could detain and force law enforcement to focus on the worst violent criminals. But the overall cap on detention beds will drop, according to Washington Post reporter Erica Werner.

These are the tentative details, the AP reports. The deal will be officially released Tuesday after congressional aides finish writing the legislation behind closed doors. But the compromise is already meeting opposition from influential conservatives.

“Any Republican that supports this garbage compromise, you will have to explain,” Fox News host Sean Hannity said Monday on his evening program.

Other prominent conservative personalities have called the details a “cave.”

And the leaders of the conservative House Freedom Caucus are critical of the deal as well.

So what will President Trump do with this deal as he’s briefed on it today? If his Monday night rally is any indication, he may intend to go ahead to build the wall with or without Congress.

“As I was walking up to this stage, I was told, ‘Progress is being made with this committee.’ Just so you know, we’re building the wall anyway,” Trump said in El Paso, Texas.

That could mean Trump intends to use the National Emergencies Act to requisition the funding for the wall from the Defense Department. Or, as White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney is pushing, the president can use an executive order to redirect funds from different government accounts toward a border wall. Both actions are likely to be challenged in court. (For more from the author of “Conservatives Balk at GOP Border Deal ‘Cave’ to Keep Government Open” please click HERE)

‘Huge and Sophisticated’ Operation: Mexican Cartel Meth Lab Busted in Atlanta Suburb

/0 Comments/in , /by

When you observe illegal aliens pouring over our border, guess who is coming among them? The biggest experts in trafficking, producing, and cooking the deadliest drugs for the most dangerous Mexican cartels. That is the gist of the conversation I had with Robert Murphy, special agent in charge of Atlanta’s DEA office, after his successful bust of what he called a “huge and sophisticated” meth lab run by agents of the Cartel New Generation Jalisco (CNGJ) in an affluent suburb of the Atlanta metro area.

About 72,000 people died in America in 2017 from drugs, mainly illicit drugs brought in by the Mexican cartels. But now, with meth growing in popularity among all the cartels, they are cooking it on our soil, using networks of illegal aliens brought in for that purpose. In this case, the DEA busted up a highly sophisticated meth lab run exclusively by Mexican nationals in six locations in and around the Atlanta metro area. All but one of those arrested were in the country illegally, according to Agent Murphy.

“This has been a long-term investigation,” said Murphy, who has spent 28 years in law enforcement and now runs all DEA operations in the southeast. “We knew they were in the process of making a major cook and it was going to hit the streets. We had no idea we were going to find the size and sophistication of what we found. They were taking the liquid meth that had crossed over the border in Texas and converting it back into solid meth.”

Who was doing the production and distribution?

Only one person was in the country on some sort of legal status, and they were all working for CNGJ. Mexican nationals absolutely control the entire methamphetamine smuggling process, and it’s all coming from the border – from the smuggling and the processing and the initial distribution all the way through the mid-level of trafficking. There’s a nonstop flow of illegals willing to make the trip over for the amount of money they are going to earn from the cartels.

Murphy noted that the direct shipments are controlled by CNGJ, but other indirect shipments coming from the western states often come from Sinaloa or other cartels. The entirety of the problem they are experiencing with drugs in the southeastern states is coming from across the border and being trafficked, and now even cooked, by illegal alien networks working for the cartels.

Thus, once again, we see that the drug problem is not an internal problem with health care and pain medication; it’s being driven by the open border and fueled by criminal alien networks working for the cartels because we don’t fully enforce our laws internally.

While Murphy noted that much of the marijuana and cocaine are backpacked over the border between points of entry, the meth is now coming over in liquid form, which is easier to transport in vehicles at the points of entry. The cartels then have their networks “convert the product back to a solid with the use of diesel and acetone,” as in the operation they discovered in Milton, Ga.

This was an unbelievable size lab, the screening processes, the chemicals we found, 400 pounds of finished product was seized in total. We’ve never seen anything this size and sophistication. This wasn’t a couple of guys reading about drugs on the internet; these were people who came from Mexico educated on how to do it. The cartels don’t trust some low-level people with that amount of product. They got the training in Mexico and did the same thing here and were brought here for that purpose.

These are the type of people the cartels bring into our country while the Central Americans are tying down the border agents. When I asked Murphey about the suggestion that the liquid form of drugs could not be stopped between points of entry because they come in through vehicles at the checkpoints, he laughed at the notion that this somehow takes the onus of the drug crisis away from illegal immigration.

The people coming across the border to make and distribute the drugs are coming here illegally. You can drive all the liquid meth you want here, but you still have to have the people to do it, and they are not coming across at checkpoints; they are sneaking across the border. The people who are here operating the networks are all illegal immigrants.

This is the central point missed by the media, according to Murphy. If we had border security and interior enforcement and made it so that illegals couldn’t come here or remain in the country and thrive undetected by law enforcement, the cartels would have no network to work with. Drugs can’t distribute themselves.

We are arguing about the wrong thing here. It’s not the product that matters. The product doesn’t sell itself or produce itself. It’s the people who make the cartel run, collect the cash, do the distribution, engage in violence, and run operations for the cartel. Those are what’s essential. The product is an after-fact. Without the people, the cartels have no success.

What would happen if we actually deterred illegal immigration at the border and in the interior? Murphy tells me the cartels would essentially be out of business, because “it would drive up their costs.”

What we see here in Atlanta and we know pretty much the same in the whole southeast, 100 percent of the meth trafficking is controlled by the cartels – every point, from the production in Mexico, the crossing into the U.S., the conversion for crystal meth sale here, the high level of distribution, and then the actual collection of proceeds, and then back into Mexico. Predominantly, what we arrest here is illegal aliens. Sure, you might find some Americans who would be willing to go to Mexico and work for the cartels, but it won’t be the level that they need to have the control of the U.S. market like they do now with the illegals and Mexican nationals.

Think about that: When it comes to drug arrests, the DEA is now arresting almost exclusively illegal aliens (or foreign nationals working with them) working for the Mexican cartels. Yet Congress passed almost unanimously a bill creating multiple leniencies for drug traffickers, where those leniencies will go to people like those running this meth lab for Jalisco cartel!

Thus we see that the entire drug crisis is a border and illegal immigration problem, and as such, much of what is driving the incarceration rate that the liberals complain about is also illegal immigration. Yet we treat drug trafficking as a domestic crime issue rather than chemical warfare by cartels through illegal immigration.

And that is when we even treat the drug crisis as a criminal issue at all. As I’ve noted in my year-long series on the misdiagnosis of the drug crisis, the political class has focused entirely on prescriptions as the culprit, when really it’s not pain patients who are overdosing on prescriptions at all, but kids who are getting hooked on illicit drugs peddled by the cartels. Now, if your teenager makes one mistake, he is dead without any second chance.

Murphy confirmed to me that even among illicit drugs, the two fastest-growing problems are meth and cocaine, which do the opposite of opioids and painkillers. “Our biggest threat here in the southeast by far is methamphetamine; it’s not even close. However, the other thing the media isn’t talking about [that] the DEA is seeing across the country is the unbelievable amount of cocaine seizures. The Mexicans control the distribution of cocaine as well and no longer rely completely on the Colombians for all the stages of the cocaine trafficking, which is why it’s being brought over the land border as well.”

In previous eras, cocaine was mainly trafficked by Colombian cartels by water, not over the land border. Now, everything is coming in though the Mexican cartels.

Who would have thought they’d have a diesel drug plant with hazmat chemicals right in a neighborhood full of million-dollar homes in Milton, Georgia? Sadly, it’s not just at the border, but in our neighborhoods. With the cartels in our communities, every neighborhood is a border town. “You talk about destruction of the environment? In this case they rented six really nice houses in a really expensive neighborhood and destroyed these houses and contaminated a rural neighborhood.”

“They were essentially poisoning the American people with diesel fuel and acetone,” said Murphy.

The question is, how many more people need to die before we speak the truth about the source and nature of the drug crisis? (For more from the author of “‘Huge and Sophisticated’ Operation: Mexican Cartel Meth Lab Busted in Atlanta Suburb” please click HERE)

Photo of ‘the View’ Co-Host Joy Behar Dressed as a ‘Beautiful African Woman’ Resurfaces

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A long forgotten video clip from ABC’s “The View” resurfaced on Wednesday that showed co-host Joy Behar trying to explain a Halloween costume from when she was younger.

The clip was shared by The Wrap media editor Jon Levine. Behar was seen discussing a New York Times op-ed about the resurgence of curly hair during the show in 2016. Behar showed her colleagues and the audience a picture of herself with curly hair when she was 29 years old.

The co-hosts appeared surprised by her drastically different look. Raven-Symoné, a former co-host, asked, “Joy, are you black?”

. . .

Behar explained that the picture was taken at a Halloween party where she dressed up as a “beautiful African woman” and stressed that it was her actual hair. . .

The video resurfaced as Democrats in Virginia face intense scrutiny over their use of blackface decades ago. On Friday, Governor Ralph Northam offered an apology after a photograph emerged on his medical school yearbook page that featured a man in blackface and another in a KKK robe. He reversed course the next day, claiming he wasn’t in that photo but did admit to wearing blackface when dressing up as Michael Jackson for a costume contest.

The Pagan Religious Power of ‘My Truth’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The dumbassery is coming quicker now, the devolution accelerating. Last week was a banner week for the minions of hell. How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways:

A Virginia state delegate, Kathy Tran, introducing legislation for baby-killing up to and including during labor.

The Virginia governor, Ralph Northam, who is also a doctor, following that up by inferring that post-birth infanticide is now on the table as morally justifiable.

The Oregon governor pushing legislation in her state for compulsory government home visits upon a new baby being born.

A Baltimore lesbian being kicked off an LGBT commission because she refused to refer to a male rapist as a “she.”

And yet another cross-dresser screaming at people who wouldn’t kiss their ring and call them the pronoun of their insane choice.

That last example happened at Alamo car rental. If that’s not a metaphor for certain death, I don’t know what is.

What a grotesque level of chaos over the fundamentals of human life. However, none of these were what punched me in the gut quite like this totally depraved juxtaposition in a headline from Life News: “New Jersey Protects Pregnant Cows”

The Romans 1 of it all hits like an avalanche. It is evil showing you not just the darkness unchecked, but the unbridled mockery of the light that is its soundtrack.

Such was the song of two pro-abortion lawmakers inspired by a pregnant cow that escaped from a truck destined for the slaughterhouse. That cow and its calf now live, I kid you not, in an animal sanctuary, and the bill would make it a crime to kill pregnant cows, punishable with a fine of up to $10,000 and up to 18 months in prison.

There’s a golden calf joke in there somewhere.

Not to be outdone, I then found out that Kathy Tran herself – on the very same day she introduced her baby-killing bill – also submitted a bill to protect the lives of gypsy moths and canker-worms.

Lord. Have. Mercy.

So be in no way surprised that Washington Democrat Sen. Patty Murray just blocked Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse’s bill to reject the possibility of infanticide after failed abortions. The people doing this aren’t just lost. They are repeatedly telling you in more and more preposterous ways how they believe themselves to have found something better than the Gospel.

Not something merely different. Not just another of multiple possible ways of viewing the world. But it’s the moths and the cows versus the babies, and they are all in – Aztec priest standing over the mouth of a volcano style – on the sanctity of the former and the disposability of the later.

That’s the murderous pagan power of “my truth.” It is a religious spirit par excellence. It will never compromise with you. It will never pay you the courtesy of shaking the dust from its feet and simply moving on.

It is the Borg. It must assimilate you or else. Even your free time, when Super Bowl commercials become the Woke Olympics. Nothing is sacred to the sacrilegious, except their shamelessness. (For more from the author of “The Pagan Religious Power of ‘My Truth'” please click HERE)

Trump and Beto Face off in Texas; Trump TAUNTS Failed Senate Candidate

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By NBC News. President Donald Trump and Beto O’Rourke faced off less than half a mile — but worlds apart — from each other on Monday night.

“A young man who’s got very little going for himself except he’s got a great first name, he challenged us,” the president told supporters, dubbing the crowd size at a nearby event headlined by the former El Paso congressman and possible 2020 Democratic presidential candidate “not too good”: “What I would say is, that may be the end of his presidential bid.” . . .

“We probably have some good news,” Trump told the crowd. “But who knows? …Just so you know, we are building the wall anyway.” . . .

He spoke soon after O’Rourke called El Paso “one of the safest cities in the United States of America…safe, not because of walls — but in spite of walls.”

“Walls do not save lives. They end lives,” he said at the “March for Truth: Stop the Wall, Stop the Lies” rally a short drive from Trump’s. (Read more from “Trump and Beto Face off in Texas; Trump TAUNTS Failed Senate Candidate” HERE)

Trump Taunts Beto: My Line Is Bigger Than Your ‘Tiny Little Line’

By Daily Wire. President Donald Trump taunted failed Democratic Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke on Monday evening over the expected crowd turnout that is expected at his rally on the Texas border.

“We have a line that is very long already, I’m mean you see what’s going on,” Trump told reporters before boarding Air Force One and flying to Texas where he will hold a rally in El Paso. “And I understand our competitor’s got a line too, but it’s a tiny little line. Of course (the media) make it sound like they have more people than we do. That’s not going to happen.”

“But we’re going there for a reason,” Trump continued. “We’re going there to keep our country safe. And we don’t want murderers and drug dealers and gang members, MS-13, and some of the worst people in the world coming into our country.”

“Now, Mexico has had the worst year they’ve ever had,” Trump noted. “Almost 40,000 killings in Mexico this year. One of the most unsafe places, unfortunately. We need a wall. And all of the other things are nice to have. But without a wall, it’s not going to work. We can have technology, we can have beautiful drones flying all over the place, but it doesn’t work without the wall.” (Read more from “Trump Taunts Beto: My Line Is Bigger Than Your ‘Tiny Little Line'” HERE)

HORRIFIC: Planned Parenthood and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Are ‘Humanizing’ Mice

/0 Comments/in , , /by

On Monday’s “Pat Gray Unleashed,” Pat Gray and Keith Malinak discussed the controversy surrounding the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, a federally funded program on a mission to “humanize” mice in a horrific way.

In this clip, Pat cited a story published by WND on Sunday that detailed the process of procuring aborted baby fetuses — in some cases without the consent of the mother — in order to use them for experimentation that requires grafting aborted baby parts to lab mice. . .

Scientists use lab mice with intentionally compromised immune systems, and once the fetal tissue is attached, the mouse develops a “humanized” immune system ready for drug testing.

Clinics provide aborted fetal parts to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, which puts Planned Parenthood in the hot seat again, the practice of selling unborn baby body parts, sometimes without the consent of the mother. . .

Planned Parenthood denied the O’Keefe’s findings, calling the released video “selectively” edited. The mainstream media sided with Planned Parenthood and dismissed O’Keefe’s investigation entirely. Subsequently, the media rejected most of the investigations that O’Keefe released following the Planned Parenthood sting.

Poll: Trump Approval SOARS to 23-Month High With Likely Voters After SOTU Speech

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump is at a nearly two-year high of 52 percent approval, according to a poll released Monday by Rasmussen Reports. This latest poll of likely voters shows 47 percent disapprove of Trump’s job performance. His approval rating is the highest Trump has had since March 6, 2017, a little more than a month after he was inaugurated.

This survey was conducted over the weekend following President Trump’s 2019 State of the Union address, which even anti-Trump CNN’s polling showed 76 percent of viewers approved of.

Trump’s State of the Union addressed touched on border security and immigration, lowering prescription drug prices, and taking a strong stand for life by outlawing late-term abortion after 20 weeks of gestation, when a fetus can feel pain.

Compare that with what we’ve seen from Democrats in recent weeks: Defending and making excuses for infanticide, defunding Homeland Security, abolishing private health insurance, and a Green New Deal plan to ban cow farts, end air travel, guarantee “economic security” for those “unwilling to work,” and forcibly remodel every building in the country.

The extremism of the Democratic Party is on full display. President Trump’s personal flaws, his Twitter habit, and blunt and often improvisational way of speaking don’t seem so bad compared to economic suicide and baby murder.

Is This a Sign That Michelle Obama Will Run in 2020?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former First Lady Michelle Obama made a surprise appearance Sunday night at the Grammy Awards, alongside female entertainers Jennifer Lopez, Jada Pinkett Smith, Lady Gaga, and Grammy Awards host, Alicia Keys.

NBC News reports that Obama, clad in a shimmering green jumpsuit, was greeted by a “25-second standing ovation as she spoke about the importance of music” to her life.

“From the Motown records I wore out on the South Side to the ‘Who Run the World’ songs that fueled me through this last decade, music has always helped me tell my story, and I know that’s true for everybody here,” Obama told the audience. “Whether we like country or rap or rock, music helps us share ourselves, our dignity and sorrows, our hopes and joys. It allows us to hear one another, to invite each other in. Music shows us that all of it matters. Every story within every voice, every note within every song. Is that right, ladies?” . . .

Michelle Obama has been on something of a world publicity tour of late, after publishing her landmark book, “Becoming,” which quickly became an international bestseller. The former First Lady has also embarked on a multi-city arena book tour, sold out almost everywhere, dwarfing other authors on her imprint, and largely embarrassing her competitors — notably, Bill and Hillary Clinton who have all but canceled their joint book tour.

The PR full court press has left many wondering if Michelle Obama is being groomed for a future in national politics, particularly whether Michelle will run for president in either 2020 or 2024. (Read more from “Is This a Sign That Michelle Obama Will Run in 2020?” HERE)

University Actually Puts Student Protesters in Their Place After Demands to Cut Ties With ICE

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Johns Hopkins University is standing firm in its ongoing commitment to train Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents despite protest from its student population.

Last Wednesday, JHU students protested the university’s continued ties with ICE by walking out of class (of course) and demanding the school stop its programs to help the agency. The university has, for years, contracted with ICE to train agents mainly through its medical school. Students have now staged four such protests, according to Campus Reform. . .

Student protesters circulated a petition created last July by associate professor Drew Daniel to demand JHU stop supporting ICE through its training programs. The protest gained more than 2,000 signatures, but failed to sway the school’s administration. . .

JHU President Ronald Daniels refused to give in to the protesters’ demands. Karen Lancaster, assistant vice president for external relations, told Campus Reform that “Johns Hopkins University respects and appreciates student and faculty efforts to engage in dialogue and debate on significant national policy issues, including the current discussion on immigration topics.” . . .

In a statement to WJZ-TV, a university spokesperson said the “specialized training and leadership programs with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency have no relationship to the enforcement of immigration policies by the current or any other administration.” (Read more from “University Actually Puts Student Protesters in Their Place After Demands to Cut Ties With ICE” HERE)
