North Korea's Threat Might Be Worse Than We Think

Via Billy

If the U.S. pre-emptively attacks North Korea, Seoul, the capital of South Korea, and other places in Asia might get blasted in retaliation, but America will have knocked out North Korea's nuclear capability.  Right?

Wrong – at least in the opinion of a U.S. senior intelligence consultant who worked on a secret study of North Korea's nuclear program for the government and disagrees with widespread intelligence opinion, echoed by the press, that there are no viable options for dealing with North Korea's nuclear threat except negotiations.

Dwight R. Rider, 30 years a targeting specialist for the U.S. with a master's degree from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), says the reason the U.S. intelligence community (I.C.) says negotiation is the only option is that the I.C. rejected the study his group made that identified hidden nuclear facilities and weapons in North Korea and now realizes they don't know where to target.  Thus, in their minds, any pre-emptive attack might have only minimal effect on North Korea's capability and leave the rogue state with plenty of retaliation options.

Ha! :) Armed Taco Bell workers shoot, kill robbery suspect

Via Billy

 

New York Post

Armed employees at a Cleveland Taco Bell shot and killed a would-be robber early Wednesday, police said.

Police responded to the store in the city’s Edgewater neighborhood shortly before 3 a.m. and found the suspect suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The unidentified man was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead.

A second suspect fled the scene.

Investigators say five Taco Bell employees were in the store when the suspects came in wearing masks and ordered them to get on the floor. Three of the employees opened fire, striking the suspect.

Police said no arrests had been made.

In a statement, Taco Bell said the company was offering counseling to the restaurant workers and was cooperating with the investigation.

Kobach: It Appears That Out-of-State Voters Changed the Outcome of the New Hampshire U.S. Senate Race

 

 Breitbart

By Kris W. Kobach, the elected Secretary of State of Kansas.  An expert in immigration in law and policy, he coauthored the Arizona SB-1070 immigration law and represented in federal court the 10 ICE agents who sued to stop Obama’s 2012 executive amnesty.  In 2017 President Trump named him Vice Chairman of the Presidential Commission on Election Integrity.  He is currently a candidate for governor of Kansas.  His website is kriskobach.com.

For years, the mainstream media has ignored the problem of voter fraud and belittled those of us who are trying to do something about it. And when secretaries of state like me identify cases of fraud, we are told that the number of incidents of voter fraud is too insignificant to matter.

Now, however, facts have come to light that indicate that a pivotal, close election was likely changed through voter fraud on November 8, 2016: New Hampshire’s U.S. Senate Seat, and perhaps also New Hampshire’s four electoral college votes in the presidential election.

New Hampshire is one of fifteen states that allow same-day voter registration. The benefit of same-day registration is that it allows a person who has procrastinated or has forgotten to register to nonetheless cast a ballot on election day. The downside of same-day registration is that it does not allow the state time to assess the eligibility of the voter. A volunteer poll worker simply accepts a modicum of identification and takes the voter at his word that he’s a U.S. citizen resident of the state who is eligible to vote.

New Hampshire is also a battleground state. Unlike neighboring Massachusetts and Vermont, which reliably vote for the Democrat in presidential elections, New Hampshire can swing either way. It has long been reported, anecdotally, that out-of-staters take advantage of New Hampshire’s same-day registration and head to the Granite State to cast fraudulent votes.

Now there’s proof.

According to statistics released by the Speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, on the date of the general election in November 2016, there were 6,540 same-day registrants who registered to vote in New Hampshire using an out-of-state driver’s license to prove their identity. In and of itself, that doesn’t prove that any fraud occurred – theoretically, each of those individuals could have been someone who recently moved to the State and had not yet had time to get a New Hampshire driver’s license. According to New Hampshire law, a new resident has 60 days to obtain a New Hampshire driver’s license.

So if those 6,540 voters were bona fide New Hampshire residents, they would get their driver’s license no later than January 7, 2017. However, the numbers tell a very different story. It turns out that, as of August 30, 2017 – nearly ten months after the election – only 1,014 of the 6,540 same-day registrants who registered with an out-of-state license had obtained a New Hampshire driver’s license. The other 5,526 individuals never obtained a New Hampshire driver’s license. And, of those 5,526, only 213 registered a vehicle in New Hampshire.

So 5,313 of those voters neither obtained a New Hampshire driver’s license nor registered a vehicle in New Hampshire. They have not followed the legal requirements for residents regarding driver’s licenses, and it appears that they are not actually residing in New Hampshire. It seems that they never were bona fide residents of the State.

5,513 is a big number – more than enough to swing two very important elections. The closest major election was the contest between incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte and challenger Maggie Hassan (D). Hassan won the election by a razor-thin margin of 1,017 votes. Those 5,313 fraudulent votes were more than enough to swing the election. If 59.2 percent or more of them went for Hassan, then the election was stolen through voter fraud. That’s likely, since the surrounding states are Democrat strongholds.

It’s also possible that New Hampshire’s four electoral college votes were swung to Hillary Clinton through illegal voting by nonresidents. Clinton won New Hampshire by only 2,732 votes. If 74.8 percent of the 5,513 fraudulent votes were cast for Clinton, then the presidential election in New Hampshire was tipped as well.

If the presidential contest had been closer and had come down to a margin of three or four electoral college votes, then this voter fraud might have had extraordinary consequences. Regardless, in the Senate contest, it is highly likely that voting by nonresidents changed the result.

And that is already having consequences for the nation. If the 52-48 Republican-Democrat balance in the Senate were 53-47, it could change the balance in any number of votes – not the least of which would be the effort to repeal Obamacare.

But the mainstream media will tell us, “Move along, there’s nothing to see here.” Voter fraud virtually never occurs.

Lincoln or Lee? What Would Hitler Say?

 

“Some crazy person just compared President Abraham Lincoln to Hitler. Yes, this just happened on CNN and Brooke Baldwin’s reaction was perfect.”

So scribbled one Ricky Davila on Social Media (Twitter).

Indeed, an elderly Southern gentleman had ventured that President Lincoln, not General Lee, murdered civilians, a point even a Court historian and a Lincoln idolater like Doris Kearns Goodwin would concede.

While the Argument From Hitler is seldom a good one, Ms. Baldwin’s response was way worse.

Were she an honest purveyor of news and knowledge, anchor-activist Baldwin would have sought the facts. Instead, she pulled faces, so the viewer knew she not only looked like an angel, but was on the side of the angels.

Pretty, but not terribly bright, Ms. Baldwin would be shocked to hear that the civics test administered by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recognizes as correct the following answers to questions about the “Civil War”:

DACA: Déjà Vu the 1986 Amnesty: Into the Trap and Over the Demographic Precipice

Via Mike

DACA is the abbreviation for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. DACA is an immigration policy instituted by President Obama in June 2012 that deferred any action to deport illegal immigrants who arrived here as children (16 or under) and allow them to have Green Card work permits. Obama’s DACA is clearly unconstitutional. Immigration policy is delegated to Congress, not the President. The President is responsible for enforcing immigration law, but that responsibility was certainly lax under both Presidents Bush and Obama, resulting in somewhere in excess of 11 million illegal immigrants residing in the U.S, of which about 8 million unlawfully hold American jobs. The number of illegal immigrants who have applied for DACA (“Dreamers” according to the propaganda language of its supporters) is about 800,000, and there are at least another 400,000 who are eligible for DACA but have not yet applied.

Cato Project: Islam ‘Consistent’ with ‘Libertarian Principles’, ‘Tolerance’, ‘Individualism’

Via Billy

Libertarianism.org, a project from the Cato Institute, claimed “Islamic teachings are consistent [with] many libertarian principles, such as tolerance, property rights & individualism” in a tweet on Tuesday.

In the post linked in the tweet, Libertarianism.org also praised Ibn Khaldun as a libertarian hero, describing him as “the most consistent of the many free-market economists in Islamic history,” despite the fact that Khaldun promoted slavery.

“Therefore, the Negro nation are, as a rule, submissive to slavery, because [Negroes] have little [that is essentially] human and have attributes that are quite similar to those of dumb animals, as we have stated,” Khaldun previously claimed.

After tweeting the post, Libertarianism.org received a large amount of criticism.

Charlottesville Update

Charlottesville City Council met tonight (September 6, 2017) and voted to take down the General Jackson Monument as well.

 

This time they tried to shield themselves by saying they would do so in accordance with the Judge's final ruling on the General Lee Monument.  Our attorney's are taking legal action to get the garbage bags removed from the monuments.  I know that all this is frustrating and disheartening.  Have faith. 

 

 We will win in the end.  We are holding the line better than anywhere else in the South.

 

Just today, Texas started taking down Confederate Monuments faster than the flood waters can recede.  We will not allow this to happen in Virginia.

Steve Bannon Calls on White House Chief Economic Advisor Gary Cohn to Resign

Via Billy

Steve Bannon, the combative Breitbart chairman and former White House chief strategist, has wasted no time getting back to work after leaving the Trump Administration.

Bannon has set his sights on those within the White House whom he views as enemies of the president’s agenda.

His latest target: Chief Economic Advisor Gary Cohn.

It’s been widely reported that Bannon’s allies enjoy referring to Cohn as “Globalist Gary” and use the globe emoji () when referencing him. Cohn’s economic views never matched up well with Trump’s “America-First” philosophy, and it makes sense that nationalists like Bannon don’t see eye-to-eye with a former COO of Goldman Sachs.

MSM placed on notice about using SPLC as arbiter of hate group status

Via Billy

There is more than P.R. symbolism behind a letter delivered to major media outlets, signed by the leaders of 47 organizations.  Major outlets are being placed on legal notice that use of the Southern Poverty Law Center as an arbiter of hate group status, including use of its notorious "hate map," may lead to liability through recklessness and defamation, among other possibilities.

The game that the SPLC and its media enablers have played is to brand utterly nonviolent law firms and think-tanks as "hate groups," the same label it uses for neo-Nazis and violent extremist groups that are white.  The letter cites but one of a number of attacks in which the SPLC Hate Map played a role.

Take a look at the language in the first paragraphs.

The SPLC is a discredited, left-wing, political activist organization that seeks to silence its political opponents with a "hate group" label of its own invention and application that is not only false and defamatory, but that also endangers the lives of those targeted with it.

Steve Bannon: Catholic Church has 'economic interest' in 'unlimited illegal immigration'

Via Billy

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, a devout Catholic, said the Catholic Church opposes President Trump's decision to wind down the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program because illegal immigrants help fill pews in the U.S.

"The Catholic Church has been terrible about this [DACA]. The bishops have been terrible about this," Bannon told CBS "This Morning" in an interview that aired Thursday.

Most of the DACA recipients were from Central and South American countries where Catholicism is the most popular religion, though it's unknown how many of the 800,000 recipients were catholic.

"You know why. Because unable to really — to come to grips with the problems in the church, they need illegal aliens — they need illegal aliens to fill the churches. It's obvious on the face of it. That's what the entire catholic bishops condemning. They have an economic interest, they have an economic interest in unlimited immigration — unlimited illegal immigration," Bannon added.

Funding for sanctuary cities stripped in late House vote

 

The House late Wednesday voted to block federal transportation and housing funding from cities and states that choose not to cooperate with federal officials on immigration.

Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., brought up his language as an amendment to a minibus spending bill and proposed attaching it to part of the bill that deals with transportation and housing funding. It was the latest Republican attack on so-called sanctuary cities, which reject federal demands to cooperate when it comes to detaining and tracking illegal immigrants.

"It just requires that funds in Transportation, Housing and Urban Development funds only go to cities and states that uphold federal law," Smith said in late Wednesday debate.

Appearing on Fox Business Network’s “Cavuto Coast to Coast,” Mulvaney was asked if he thought Trump’s deal with Democrats on raising the debt ceiling happened because the president is annoyed with Republican leaders.

“Is he annoyed at [Republican] leadership, yeah, I think he probably is,” Mulvaney said. “And believe me, as a Republican, so am I.

“I was promised that they would have repealed and replaced ObamaCare by now," he continued. "To the extent that the president was annoyed by that is simply reflecting many of the people of this country."

Graham wants to haul back Comey to testify on Clinton email case, says 'I smell a rat'

Via Billy

Sen. Lindsey Graham told Fox News on Thursday that he wants to bring back James Comey to testify on Capitol Hill, citing concerns about his statements on the conclusion of the Hillary Clinton email case.

“This doesn’t add up, and I smell a rat here,” Graham, R-S.C., said in an interview with Fox News' Catherine Herridge. 

The Republican senator, who chairs a Senate Judiciary subcommittee, and Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, last week revealed new details they learned about the Clinton case from interview transcripts. According to the senators, the transcripts say Comey began drafting an “exoneration statement” for Clinton weeks before interviewing her – which in turn raised questions about the former FBI director’s testimony in June before the Senate Intelligence Committee.

The Southern Poverty Law Center invests almost 20 percent of its nearly $320 million endowment fund in offshore equities and other investments. The 2016 annual report of the Alabama-based civil rights organization reports $69,093,576 of "non-U.S. equity funds" among the assets comprising the total endowment fund of $319,283,961, a fund the SPLC describes as a "plan for the day when nonprofits like the SPLC can no longer afford to solicit support through the mail because of rising postage and printing costs."
