Rand Paul: Trump should use lie-detector tests to find anonymous op-ed author

 

“We use the lie-detector test routinely for CIA agents and FBI agents,” he argued. “If you have a security clearance in the White House, I think it would be acceptable to use a lie detector test and ask people whether or not they’re taking to the media against the policy of the White House.

Paul warned that if the op-ed’s author has a security clearance, he or she could also divulge national security secrets to the media.

**************************

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Thursday that President Trump should use lie-detector tests to find out which senior administration official authored an anonymous op-ed in The New York Times this week blasting the president.

The author, who is only identified as “a senior official” in the Trump administration, claimed there is resistance within the White House by otherwise loyal Republicans to what they see as Trump’s “amorality” and “anti-trade and anti-democratic” impulses.

REAL SACRIFICE: 'American Sniper' Widow Taya Kyle Rips Nike Over Kaepernick Ad

On Tuesday, Taya Kyle, the widow of Navy SEAL hero Chris Kyle, reacted to Nike's new ad campaign featuring former NFL QB and national anthem kneeler Colin Kaepernick. Taya, whose family understands real sacrifice firsthand, slammed the corporation for their widely-criticized claim that Kaepernick somehow "sacrificed everything" by taking a knee.

"Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything," says the Nike ad, laid over a photo of Kaepernick's face.

Another short post, just so you don’t forget me.

We’re all aware, assuming we’re conscious, of Nike’s embrace of Colin Kaepernick as their new face.  Despite their market capitalization dropping as a clear signal of this, write them – deluge them with snail-mail letters – so they understand why this is happening:

Liberals Never Sleep (and neither does Jeff Sessions)

Via David

The left is very close to having a governing majority due entirely to immigration. Despite the promise of the Trump campaign, there isn’t much standing in their way. Now, they’re just running out the clock. Soon, we will have admitted so many immigrants that it will be too late to do anything.

Although liberals pretend to have no idea where conservatives got the idea that immigration was designed to change the country and bring in new voters, they weren’t always so modest.

The High Price of NC Democrats’ “Promises”

Via Cousin John

 

• North Carolina Democrats have outlined election year “promises” in a new document, Our Carolina Promise
• Implementing the proposals would add nearly $5 billion to the state budget
• To finance these “promises” would require either a 38 percent personal income tax hike or a 65 percent increase in sales tax revenue

To win votes this election year, North Carolina Democrats are making grandiose promises that, if implemented, would cost state taxpayers at least a staggering $4.8 billion in new spending.

Dinesh D’Souza on NYT Coup Article: Written ‘In-House’ by ‘Professional Writer’

The New York Times op-ed allegedly authored by an anti-Trump “senior official” within the Trump administration is a total hoax, according to conservative filmmaker and author Dinesh D’Souza.
 
“Just read the anonymous @nytimes article and it’s blindingly obvious it’s an in-house product written not by any Trump official but by a professional writer at the newspaper itself. This is the very definition of #FakeNews,” D’Souza tweeted Wednesday.

X Nike & Levis: Why Business Leaders Need to Take a Stand on Gun Violence

Via Knuckledraggin' My Life Away

 

In November 2016, I wrote an open letter requesting that gun owners not bring firearms into our stores, offices, or facilities, even in states where it’s permitted by law. This was following an incident in one of our stores in which a customer accidentally shot and injured himself while trying on a pair of jeans. While that was bad, it could have been worse: The bullet could have killed him, another customer, or one of our employees.

In the days after I published that letter, I received threats to our stores, our business, and even on my life. It was unsettling. But these personal attacks pale in comparison to the threats that activists and survivors from Parkland, Sandy Hook, and daily incidents of gun violence face every time they speak up on this issue.
