Judge Refuses to Shut Down Clinton Foundation Probe

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal tax judge has refused to shut down an investigation into the operations of the Clinton Foundation, ruling that the IRS, when it asked for summary judgment, “abused its discretion.”

Just the News reported U.S. Tax Court Judge David Gustafson denied the IRS request and instead will allow the whistleblower complaint to proceed.

The judge said the concerns from former Drug Enforcement Agency official John Moynihan and tax expert Larry Doyle provided “specific credible documentation” supporting their allegations of possible tax-exempt legal violations by the Arkansas-based Clinton charity. . .

The Clinton Foundation was flush with cash from huge donations, many from overseas, while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. Its income has plunged in the years since she left office. In fact, investigative author Peter Schweizer said in a television interview with “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that donations to the foundation have “dried up.”

“The Clinton Foundation has had a hard time raising money because they don’t have the influence to sell,” he said. “They don’t have power access to sell and that, I think, is the primary evidence for what the Clinton enterprise was all about.” (Read more from “Judge Refuses to Shut Down Clinton Foundation Probe” HERE)

President Trump Nominated a Fourth Time for Nobel Peace Prize

/0 Comments/in , /by

It was only a few months after Barack Obama took office in 2009 that the Nobel committee decided he had “created a new climate in international politics” and awarded him the Nobel Peace prize.

After all, the committee opined, he had “captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future.” . . .

President Trump has been nominated a fourth time for specific accomplishments.

A Finnish member of the European Parliament, Laura Huhtasaari, wrote that he should be honored “in recognition of his endeavors to end the era of endless wars, construct peace by encouraging conflicting parties for dialogue and negotiations, as well as underpin internal cohesion and stability of his country.”

The letter pointed out that Trump “has served almost a complete presidential term without starting a new war.” (Read more from “President Trump Nominated a Fourth Time for Nobel Peace Prize” HERE)

Kamala Harris’s Ties to Muslim Anti-Israel Group Revealed

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris’s ties to a leading anti-Israel group are generating scrutiny among Jewish voters, particularly in Florida, a perennial swing state populated by a large number of staunchly pro-Israel voters.

As California’s attorney general and then as U.S. senator, Harris forged a relationship with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), one of the nation’s top anti-Israel groups and advocates for boycotts of the Jewish state. CAIR advised Harris on community issues during her time in California politics, and she later offered the group her “gratitude and admiration” in a 2018 personal letter to the group.

Harris’s association with CAIR is drawing scrutiny ahead of the 2020 presidential election. While Jewish voters overwhelmingly lean Democratic, the party’s recent embrace of anti-Israel causes and activists could make the critical voting bloc think twice. Biden has promised to be a mainstream pro-Israel president, but the Democratic Party’s alliance with anti-Israel leaders threatens to pull the candidate leftward, as evidenced by Biden’s campaign pledge to confront Israel over its continued building of Jewish homes in disputed areas. Recent national polls show around 30 percent support for Trump among Jewish voters, a number that ranks on the high end historically. And CAIR’s support for the Democratic ticket could prove to be a lightning rod for team Biden in states such as Florida, local GOP officials say.

“Every Jewish American should be concerned about a potential vice president who aligns herself with groups that support terrorists,” said Randy Fine, a former Republican Florida state politician who went toe-to-toe with CAIR on several initiatives. “I don’t think we want people in the White House to invite anti-Semites to have a seat at the table.” (Read more from “Kamala Harris’s Ties to Muslim Anti-Israel Group Revealed” HERE)

Alaska Supreme Court Decrees Absentee Ballots Do Not Need to be Witnessed Because of Wuhan Flu

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Alaska, already plagued by unprecedented vote fraud in past elections, has now been ordered by its Supreme Court to allow all absentee ballots to be cast without a witness signature. Yes, you read that right. Anyone can now fill out anyone’s ballot, place it in the mail and it will be counted, courtesy of an out-of-control judiciary. Assuming the post office actually delivers it, LOL.

Here’s the State’s press release, apparently written by the infamous Gail Fenumiai, head of Alaska’s Division of Elections:

The Alaska Supreme Court today agreed with the lower court that in light of the pandemic, for the 2020 general election only, voters do not need to get
their absentee ballots witnessed. In order for a person’s vote to count, voters must still sign the back of the absentee ballot envelope and provide the voter identifier, such as date of birth, driver’s license number, etc. The Division of Elections also recommends that voters date their signature on the back of the envelope. Normally, the witness would date their signature, but since there is no witness requirement, the voter is encouraged (but not required) to fill this information in.

There is also nothing prohibiting a voter from having their ballot witnessed, and any ballot that is witnessed will be counted, so long as it meets all the other statutory requirements, just as it would have been prior to the court’s order.

Looks like the hijacking of the American political experiment is just about complete. The left owns the media, the judiciary, most senior military leaders, the entertainment industry, federal law enforcement, the clandestine agencies, even most of Trump’s “inside” team. States like Alaska now seem to be conducting a “mop up” operation to ensure no resistance to the leftists’ coup.

Is it too late to save the Republic?

Countries That Kill Journalists, Keep Concentration Camps Elected to U.N. Human Rights Council

/0 Comments/in , /by

China, Russia, and Cuba were each awarded seats on the United Nations Human Rights Council Tuesday despite their gross abuses of the very rights the council pledges to uphold.

The council, which the United States withdrew from in protest of its condemnation of Israel while bolstering Venezuela and Saudi Arabia two years ago, features a mission statement that its inclusion of rights-violating nations directly contradicts. It reads:

The mission of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is to work for the protection of all human rights for all people; to help empower people to realize their rights; and to assist those responsible for upholding such rights in ensuring that they are implemented.

China is carrying out a genocidal campaign against the nation’s Uighur Muslims. The campaign is the largest mass internment of any ethnic-minority religious group in nearly a century since the Holocaust.

Human Rights Watch, a New York City-based international non-governmental organization, has similarly faulted Cuba and Russia for their human rights abuses. In Cuba, the group wrote, “the government continues to use other repressive tactics against critics, including beatings, public shaming, travel restrictions, and termination of employment.”

China Has Deployed 60,000 Soldiers on India’s Northern Border

/0 Comments/in , /by

China has amassed more than 60,000 troops on India’s northern border, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said as he hit out at Beijing for its “bad behavior” and the threats it poses to the Quad countries.

The Foreign Ministers from the Indo-Pacific nations known as the Quad group — the US, Japan, India and Australia — met in Tokyo on Tuesday in what was their first in-person talks since the coronavirus pandemic began.

The meeting took place in the backdrop of China’s aggressive military behaviour in the Indo-Pacific, South China Sea and along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh.

“The Indians are seeing 60,000 Chinese soldiers on their northern border, Mr. Pompeo told The Guy Benson Show in an interview on Friday after his return from Tokyo wherein he attended the second Quad ministerial with his counterparts from India, Japan and Australia.

“I was with my foreign minister counterparts from India, Australia, and Japan — a format that we call the Quad, four big democracies, four powerful economies, four nations, each of whom has real risk associated with the threats imposed — attempting to be imposed by the Chinese Communist Party. And they see it in their home countries too,” he said. (Read more from “China Has Deployed 60,000 Soldiers on India’s Northern Border” HERE)

Romney Praises Biden, Who Called Trump a ‘Clown’ and a ‘Racist,’ for Staying Above Vile Discourse

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney is apparently the forgiving type. Maybe a little too forgiving.

Romney released a statement on Tuesday decrying the current state of political discourse in the United States. His statement is careful to name both President Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as being guiltiest of some of the worst, most over-the-top rhetoric.

But more interesting than those who Romney says are guilty of lowering the discourse is that the senator conspicuously portrays Democratic nominee Joe Biden as being supposedly above the fray. The problem here is that Biden really is not above getting in the mud. You would think that Romney, of all people, whom Biden claimed in 2012 would put black people “back in chains,” would know this.

“I have stayed quiet with the approach of the election,” reads the senator’s statement. “But I’m troubled by our politics, as it has moved away from spirited debate to a vile, vituperative, hate-filled morass that is unbecoming of any free nation — let alone the birthplace of modern democracy.” . . .

Let’s not forget that it was Biden who built his career in the Senate on being a ruthless knife fighter and who had several outbursts during that travesty of a first presidential debate. Let’s not forget that while on a national stage, it was Biden who called his perfectly belligerent opponent a “racist,” a “liar,” a “clown,” and the “worst president America has ever had.” Biden even told the president to “shut up” and to “keep yapping.” (Read more from “Romney Praises Biden, Who Called Trump a ‘Clown’ and a ‘Racist,’ for Staying Above Vile Discourse” HERE)

What’s Hilarious About the Liberal Media’s Response to ACB Answer on Abortion Question (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

The liberal media has another ‘we’re all morons’ moment today right out of the gate on day two of the hearings regarding the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wasted no time asking the judge about abortion. She asked multiple times about Roe v. Wade and Barrett refused to give a direct answer because it’s not proper for a sitting judge to give an opinion about any case that may or may not come before the Court. This has been called the Ginsburg rule. It was invoked during Justice Neil Gorsuch’s confirmation hearings when he too was attacked by the Left for his supposed views on abortion. . .

That didn’t stop a bunch of journos from mainstream outlets from tweeting about how Barrett’s answer to this question was some ‘bombshell’ development. It’s not. You all knew this was going to be the answer. Also, you people wrote endlessly about the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s legacy, her career, and he mark on American history. You didn’t know this was a rule or you ignored it in order to attack Barrett. Either way, you look like idiots.

WATCH: Joe Biden Argues That Americans Should Not Vote for Him

/0 Comments/in , /by

For at least the sixth time, Joe Biden argued during a television interview on Monday that Americans should not vote for him.

1. A reporter from WKRC in Cincinnati brought up a recent Gallup poll that found 56 percent of respondents say they are better off than they were four years ago. . .

2. When Biden appeared on MSNBC to answer for the sexual assault allegations made by Tara Reade and was asked about how voters should interpret the news, he said, “If they believe Tara Reade, they probably shouldn’t vote for me. I wouldn’t vote for me if I believed Tara Reade.”

3. “You should vote for Trump,” Biden told a man who was asking him a question during a town hall meeting.

4. In another instance, Biden told a voter, “You’ve got the right candidate in Bernie [Sanders].” (Read more from “WATCH: Joe Biden Argues Six Times That Americans Should Not Vote for Him” HERE)

Amy Coney Barrett Discusses Roe v. Wade

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Fox News. Judge Amy Coney Barrett said she doesn’t believe the Supreme Court’s landmark abortion ruling Roe v. Wade fits the scholarly definition of “super precedent,” or a case that cannot be overruled.

Barrett said that a case like Brown v. Board of Education, which banned segregation in schools, would be considered a super precedent because “people consider it to be on that very small list of things so widely established and agreed upon by everyone, calls for its overruling simply don’t exist.”

“I’m answering a lot of questions about Roe which I think indicates that Roe doesn’t fall into that category,” the Supreme Court nominee told Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.

She added: “Scholars across the spectrum say that doesn’t mean that Roe should be overruled but descriptively it does mean that it’s not a case that everyone has accepted and doesn’t call for its overruling.”

Barrett pointed to Harvard Law professor Richard Fallon, who argued Roe v. Wade is not a super precedent because “calls for its overruling have never ceased.” (Read more from “Amy Coney Barrett Discusses Roe v. Wade” HERE)

Democrats Tout Anti-Barrett Letter From Notre Dame Faculty – but No Signers Are From Law School

By Fox News. Democrats have pounced on an open letter signed by 88 faculty members at the University of Notre Dame calling on Judge Amy Coney Barrett to withdraw herself from being considered for the Supreme Court until after the November election. Yet not one of the signatories is from the Notre Dame Law School.

The letter starts by congratulating Barrett on her nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court but quickly pivots and urges her to step down, calling the nomination process “rushed” and “an exercise in raw power politics.”

The letter concedes that Barrett is not responsible for the supposedly “anti-democratic machinations” driving her nomination but urges her to “refuse to be a party to such maneuvers.”

“We ask that you honor the democratic process and insist the hearings be put on hold until after the voters have made their choice,” the letter says.

The signatories’ fields of study are diverse, spanning STEM subjects to the humanities, but not a single one of the 88 names have any law credentials. (Read more from “Democrats Tout Anti-Barrett Letter From Notre Dame Faculty – but No Signers Are From Law School” HERE)
