A Bangladesh government commission was investigating multiple charges of financial mismanagement at Grameen Bank, beginning in May 2012. Muhammad Yunus, a major Clinton Foundation donor, served as managing director of the bank.

Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and permanent U.S. resident, recalled the account of the threatened IRS audit to TheDCNF. The allegations mark the first known instance in the U.S. that Clinton’s Department of State used IRS power to intimidate a close relative of a friendly nation’s head of state on behalf of a Clinton Foundation donor.

The Imperial Penman

 

 

By Clyde Wilson on Apr 26, 2017

A Review of The Imperial Presidency, by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1973. 504 pages.

The title gives us a fleeting but instructive glimpse at the curious rhetorical operations which flourish in this as in Mr. Schlesinger’s other writings. “Imperial” from the pen of a historian and linked with “Presidency.” disposes the reader to expect a carefully descriptive comparison of the institutions of past empires with the American Presidency. But nowhere in the book is “imperial” defined, nor is there a single significant reference to any historic empire or emperor. Dressed up as dispassionate, denotative, scholarly, the title is actually a propaganda epithet for the impassioned moment. In the sub rational milieu of kitsch where the book will be most commonly received and read, “imperial” has a pejorative connotation akin to “imperious.” It is a slogan against the “imperial,” i.e., imperious, dictatorial, contrademocratic administration of Mr. Nixon. The term is an ideological sword disguised as a scholarly plowshare, attention being diverted from the demagogic cutting edge by a seemingly objective glance down the centuries.

YAF Pulls Support from Coulter Event Due to Berkeley Police “Stand-Down” Order

Via Billy

Citing credible evidence of violence,Young America’s Foundation has pulled its support 

from Ann Coulter’s speech at the University of California-Berkeley campus this Thursday.

YAF released a statement on Tuesday night, via Breitbart:

“When Young America’s Foundation confirmed Ann Coulter would speak at UC-Berkeley 

as part of YAF’s nationwide campus lecture program on April 27, we assumed UC Berkeley

 would take all steps necessary to ensure the safety of students attending the educational event,” 

the group declared in a blog post on Tuesday. “In the meantime we discovered that the 

University of California Police Department at Berkeley has an official ‘stand-down’ policy 

for any situation that develops on campus as long as the situation doesn’t involve the imminent

 loss of life, allowing the leftist thugs who have terrorized Berkeley’s campus to do so without 

consequence.”

White House: Sanctuary cities have ‘blood of dead Americans on their hands’

Via Billy

The White House lashed out Tuesday night against the federal judge who blocked President Trump’s anti-sanctuary city executive order, and said sanctuaries like San Francisco have “the blood of dead Americans on their hands.”

Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the ruling by Judge William H. Orrick misconstrued U.S. immigration laws and undercuts Americans’ faith in government.

“This case is yet one more example of egregious overreach by a single, unelected district judge,” Mr. Spicer said in a scorching statement. “But we are confident we will ultimately prevail in the Supreme Court, just as we will prevail in our lawful efforts to impose immigration restrictions necessary to keep terrorists out of the United States.

Knife ID: Help Needed

Via Cousin Dale"I need your help with a knife I bought recently......I've usually got a good idea of what I'm buying but this was a guess. I've included two pics. It's a totally hand made knife with sheath, and the seller insisted it was a WW2 trench knife. I realized immediately it wasn't any type of manufactured knife and the sheath was stitched with no riveting. The back of the sheath did have WW2 Canadian soldier info on it, along with where he was injured and when. Take at look at the end of the handle! "CS"! The emblem is different though, and looks like it actually says "CSE". While Canada did have Canadian Special Forces in WW2 I could not locate this symbol anywhere. However, I did find several nearly identical knives under classifications of "Alabama toothpick" and "Arkansas toothpick". Any thoughts? I don't like to assume, but all indicators I've seen so far indicate this knife is actually a home made Confederate toothpick commonly used in WW1 and WW2. I thought perhaps you may have seen the emblem or understand this knife better than myself, and would appreciate any feedback!"

China bans Muslim names including 'Jihad,' 'Mohammad'

China this month banned a series of Islamic names – including “Mohammad” and “Jihad” – in an attempt to help “curb” the “religious fervor” that has become prevalent in the Communist country’s western region of Xinjiang.

A document titled “List of Banned Ethnic Minority Names” catalogs more than two dozen banned names, such as “Arafat,” “Mujahid” and “Medina,” according to a copy obtained by The New York
The document was provided to The Times by the Muslim minority Uighur community. The region has seen a string of extremist attacks, including a stabbing spree by a group of attackers that killed at least eight people in February.

Chinese officials around the country confirmed the ban, listing a reduction in essential services – such as education and health care – as the penalty for those who rebelled against the restriction.

“Condemnation of Memory”: New Orleans Is Wrong To Remove Its Confederate Monuments

Via SHNV

 

The progressive impulse to purge public spaces of Confederate monuments isn’t about inclusion and tolerance, it’s about politics and power.

In the early morning hours of Monday, masked men in black bulletproof vests gathered at the Battle of Liberty Place in downtown New Orleans. They arrived in flatbed trucks, the name of the company on the trucks’ sides concealed by tape and cardboard. Snipers took up positions on nearby rooftops.

This wasn’t the scene of a bank heist or a mob hit. The snipers were New Orleans police, and the workers were under contract with the city. They were there to tear down a 126-year-old monument linked to the Confederacy. New Orleans is the latest city to embark on the removal of its Confederate monuments, a rising trend among progressive municipal leaders and activists who claim to be acting in the name of tolerance but whose true purpose is political.

Trump’s Border Wall Request Equals 0.035% of Federal Spending

Via Billy

President Donald Trump’s request that Congress include $1.4 billion to fund the beginning of his proposed wall on the U.S.-Mexico border equals approximately 0.035 percent of what the federal government will spend in total this year, according to the latest estimate of fiscal year 2017 federal spending made by the Congressional Budget Office.

It also equals less than the Department of Health and Human Services spends in just twelve hours and less than the Treasury collects in taxes in four hours.

That is assuming that HHS spends money 24 hours a day and the Treasury collects it 24 hours a day.

Harvey Levin slams anti-Trump media: Most ‘trusted names in news’ are not trusted anymore

Via Billy

TMZ founder Harvey Levin said Monday that some of the “most trusted names” in the news business are losing credibility because they pretend to be objective but continue to push an anti-President Trump agenda.

Mr. Levin, who faced criticism last month after meeting with Mr. Trump in the Oval Office, told a panel at the NAB Show in Las Vegas that traditional media outlets are doing themselves in by failing to report on the president fairly, Broadcasting & Cable magazine reported.

“What I find unbelievable is the bullying in traditional media,” the 66-year-old attorney said. “I think there are some traditional media outlets that are getting ruined by this administration and ruined by their own deeds. There are certain networks and newspapers that are very clear on who they are and what they feel and that’s fine. I mean if you put yourself out as somebody who supports Trump or, like MSNBC is against Trump, at least you know what you’re getting.

Judge Who Donated $300K to Obama Blocks Trump’s Order to Block Funding to Lawless Sanctuary Cities

U.S. District Judge William Orrick from San Francisco, which is a hotbed of leftist nonsense, has gone ahead and blocked an overall enforcement of the President’s executive order “barring federal funds” from illegal sanctuary cities.

 

The Hill reports:

San Francisco and Santa Clara County won preliminary injections to block Trump’s January order to withhold federal funds from “sanctuary cities” that refuse to comply with federal authorities in enforcing immigration laws, according to multiple reports.

According to the judge’s order, the Justice Department can still without grants from places that don’t comply with the law, but cannot enforce the order “in a way that violates the Constitution,” noted Washington Post reporter Matt Zapotosky

NC: Judicial Watch Warns 11 States (More Registered Voters than Eligible Adult Citizens) to Clean Voter Registration Lists or Face Federal Lawsuit

Via Billy

 

North Carolina: Buncombe, Camden, Chatham, Cherokee, Clay, Dare, Durham, Guilford, Madison, Mecklenburg, New Hanover, Orange, Union, Watauga, Yancey.

 Judicial Watch today announced it has sent notice-of-violation letters threatening to sue 11 states having counties in which the number of registered voters exceeds the number of voting-age citizens, as calculated by the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2011-2015 American Community Survey. According to the letters, this is “strong circumstantial evidence that these … counties are not conducting reasonable voter registration record maintenance as mandated under the [National Voter Registration Act] NVRA.”  Both the NVRA and the federal Help America Vote Act require states to take reasonable steps to maintain accurate voting rolls.

The 11 states are: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina and Tennessee.  The states have 90 days after receiving the letters to address the problem and provide Judicial Watch documentation showing that they have conducted a “statewide effort to conduct a program that reasonably ensures the lists of eligible voters are accurate.” Judicial Watch informed the states that should they fail to take action to correct violations of Section 8 of the NVRA, it would file suit.

Ted Cruz: Take El Chapo's $14 billion to pay for the wall

Via Billy

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, wants the billions of dollars confiscated from an infamous Mexican drug lord to finance the construction of a wall on the Mexican-American border.

"Fourteen billion dollars will go a long way toward building a wall that will keep Americans safe and hinder the illegal flow of drugs, weapons, and individuals across our southern border," Cruz said Tuesday in a statement unveiling the El Chapo Act, named after the drug kingpin who was extradited to the United States in January.

Cruz's bill, if implemented as conceived, would provide the $14 billion subject to confiscation from El Chapo as well as money taken from drug lords arrested in future cases. It's a bankshot at border funding designed to fulfill the spirit of President Trump's pledge to "make Mexico pay" for the wall that has gained currency among some Republicans.

Ex-spy admits anti-Trump dossier’s sensational charge unverified, says Clinton backer betrayed him

Via Billy

Christopher Steele, the former British spy who wrote the infamous anti-Donald Trump dossier, acknowledges that a sensational charge his sources made about a tech company CEO and Democratic Party hacking is unverified.

In a court filing, Mr. Steele also says his accusations against the president and his aides about a supposed Russian hacking conspiracy were never supposed to be made public, much less posted in full on a website for the world to see on Jan. 10.

He defends himself by saying he was betrayed by his client and that he followed proper internal channels by giving the dossier to Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, to alert the U.S. government.

Mr. Steele has not spoken publicly about his disputed opposition research project, but for the first time he is being forced to talk in a London court through his attorneys.
