Trump Allegations Fly . . Still No Proof!

The claims surrounding the Trump campaign's alleged business ties to the Russian government continue.  A widely-circulated and widely-disparaged Buzzfeed report claims that Trump has had extensive dealings with the Kremlin. The report also claims that the Kremlin has compromising information on Trump including some which is sexual in nature and graphic and which might subject him to Russian blackmail:

Questions also continue based on what is being presented as a declassified version of a report given to both President-elect Trump and President Obama:  

http://elections.ap.org/content/us-designates-election-infrastructure-critical.  

I read all of the first report and about two-thirds (so far) of the second.  Several factors are noteworthy:  

1.  No direct source is mentioned in anything I've read.  It's all "according to so-and-so" or even third-generation garbage (the original source, whoever that is, telling you that someone told them that so-and-so did such-and-such).  I understand that this may be the language of spycraft but after the many times we've been lied to by our own government I'm not inclined to believe much of anything we're told by them without a verifiable source.

2.  The "company" was referred to several times in both documents.  Inside the CIA, this is slang for that agency.  No, I can't imagine how anyone would be stupid enough to leave that in there if the CIA was the actual source, but as strange as this whole transition of power has been . . .

Here's the bottom line:  there are a bunch of serious, yet unproven allegations here.  There is the possibility that the reports are accurate.  Yet there are numerous parties with potential motives to hobble a Donald Trump presidency from the start or to try to take the presidency from Mr. Trump and thus disenfranchise almost half of the American electorate and make the Electoral College, and our Constitution, a laughing stock.  There is no identified source.  There is no physical evidence.  There is no 'smoking gun'.  I leave it at that.    

 

 

Full Speed To Armageddon: The Obama Administration and Nuclear Proliferation In the Modern Age

The Obama Administration begins implementation of nuclear “deal” today.

This “deal” would allow Iran to inspect its own nuclear facilities; the other nations involved would “trust” that Iran is not developing nuclear weapons.

All this is “reported” since President Barry has FAILED to follow a law WHICH HE SIGNED several months ago mandating that he submit the “text and all related materials” to the Congress for their perusal. That's okay, according to him. After all, CONGRESS DIDN'T EVEN REQUIRE THAT HE FULFILL THIS COURSE OF ACTION, MUCH LESS THE CONSTITUTION, WHICH REQUIRES THE “ADVICE AND CONSENT” OF CONGRESS BEFORE A VOTE IS HELD IN THE SENATE TO APPROVE “TREATIES”. This REPUBLICAN Congress has again signed a blank check for this lawless President.

Yesterday, ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11 AND THE TERROR ATTACK ON AND MURDER OF OUR PERSONNEL IN BENGHAZI ALONG WITH THE MURDER OF OUR AMBASSADOR THERE, the Supreme Kook in Iran REITERATED HIS PROMISE THAT THE STATE OF ISRAEL WILL NOT EXIST IN 25 YEARS AND HIS RAILINGS AGAINST “THE GREAT SATAN” (US). HOW LONG WILL THE U.S. CONTINUE TO SEEK THE APPROVAL AND ACQUIESCENCE OF THOSE WHO SEEK TO KILL US?  I also question the wisdom of continuing to turn against the people of the God of Israel.

Yesterday, ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11 AND THE TERROR ATTACK ON AND MURDER OF OUR PERSONNEL IN BENGHAZI ALONG WITH THE MURDER OF OUR AMBASSADOR THERE, our lawless, potentially traitorous President signed an agreement which I think STANDS A PROFOUND CHANCE OF RESULTING IN THE NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL AND AT LEAST TWO AMERICAN CITIES. I include those two American cities, which I believe could well be New York and Washington, because Iran has been and is pursuing intercontinental ballistic missile technology. I believe this “deal” stands an even greater and more direct chance of starting a war between Israel and Iran which will, in all likelihood, quickly involve at least most of the rest of the Middle East (a few wiser heads could sit it out) and could very well go nuclear. I desperately pray that I am wrong on this but I fear that I am right. If the aforementioned happens, BARACK OBAMA AND THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WHO ALLOWED THIS CHARADE TO STAND SHOULD BE HELD DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE. THEY WILL POTENTIALLY HAVE THE BLOOD OF HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS ON THEIR HANDS AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.

Fast Track To Armageddon

The United States Senate seems about to, in real terms, put the iconic "nuclear clock" very close to midnight.  The Senate is currently considering a "deal" negotiated by the Obama Administration to supposedly supervise Iranian nuclear development in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions on the Iranian regime.

First, let me explain that I have a personal dog in this fight:  the brother of a woman whom I consider my aunt (actually my uncle's first wife) lives, along with his wife, children, and I believe grandchildren, in Israel.  The Obama Administration is negotiating this "deal", supposedly intended to keep the mullahs from obtaining authority over nuclear weapons, with a regime which has threatened on many occasions to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.  This is a regime which has also called the United States "the great Satan" and Israel "the little Satan".  This renegade government is also the chief sponsor of terrorism in the world.  Yet, our ever-wise and imperious president has negotiated an inspection agreement with these people which many of us believe would in effect give them nuclear weapons in ten years if not earlier (kind of like giving a three-year-old a loaded pistol).  Do we really think the religious zealots in charge in Tehran would not unleash nuclear destruction on Israel, and if they think they're able to without too much in repercussions, the United States?  In short, I would really prefer not to see my aunt's brother, his family and possibly my and your loved ones and families turned into crispy critters to find out.

Let's take a close look at this "deal".  President Barack Obama tried his damnedest at first to get the Senate to put its' stamp of approval on this "deal" without even receiving any information on it.  As usual, secrecy is the order of the day with this "most transparent administration in history" (Remember the 2008 campaign?)  Now, President Obama has agreed to let Senators see information on the agreement.  Note that this does not guarantee access to the full text of the agreement (not that they'd read it!)  Also, the Administration has admitted that there are "side-agreements" which it does not intend to reveal to Congress or the public!  Reportedly, one of these "side-agreements" has the International Atomic Energy Agency, a United Nations branch, doing the inspection of "suspect sites".  This, the Administration claims, means that the inspection regimen, the very reason for removing economic sanctions on Iran, will be between the IAEA and Tehran!  Don't blame Obama when this goes wrong!  Blame the IAEA!  And the Iranian regime actually has the audacity to insist that it provide "samples" from suspect sites to the IAEA rather than allowing the UN agency actually physical inspections!  In other words, the fox will be guarding the chicken coop!  And Obama, unbelievably (if someone else was president) but predictably (since he's president) has agreed to this!

Further, Obama has performed his usual end run around the Constitution by calling this a "deal" rather than a "treaty", which is what, except perhaps for technical details, it truly is.  In addition, consistent with his total lack of respect for both the Constitution and the other branches of government (as well as the American people), he has done an end run around both the aforementioned document and the Senate by running this to the UN while not having submitted it to the Senate.  You see, this obligates the US to observe the conditions of the "deal" due to the treaty and international agreements clause of the Constitution, at least while Obama remains in office (Might we consider amending that clause to make it clear that while a president may "negotiate" an agreement or a treaty, we are not bound to it until it is approved by the Senate?  I think that may be a good idea!).    

Never fear, though!  Despite what you may have heard and what both the

government and the mainstream press would like for you to believe, this fight does not have to be over!  It is not a done deal!  You see, the Corker Act, formally known as "The Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015", is crystal clear.  At its' very beginning, it mandates that, "Not later than 5 calendar days after reaching an agreement with Iran relating to the nuclear program of Iran, the President shall transmit to the appropriate congressional committees and leadership ‘‘the agreement . . including all related materials and annexes . . . "  This law further states that:  "The period for congressional review . . shall be 60 calendar days if an agreement, including all materials required to be transmitted to Congress . . is transmitted . . between July 10, 2015, and September 7, 2015."  To put it in short order, the law not only mandates a 60-day "consideration" period, it requires the president to transmit all pertinent materials within five days!  The President has not sent all of the required materials yet!  This also means that he is in violation of federal law (something which I'm sure bothers him not one whit!)  So, you see, the Congress does not have to consider this "agreement" at all!  Not that they will consider exercising their considerable powers under the law, however!  No, they'll be compliant little sheep . . unless they hear massively from us!!

To let your senators know what you think about this disastrous agreement, call your senators.  Here's a link to their numbers:  http://www.senate.gov/senators/contact/.      

 

Live In A Nice Neighborhood? The U.S. House Just TEMPORARILY Stopped Obama From 'Fundamentally Transforming' That

The U.S. House has just stopped President Barack Obama from implementing a plan which would result in forcing more affluent neighborhoods to accept low-income and high-density housing.  The House has voted 229-193 for a measure which would stop the Department of Housing and Urban Development from implementing the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) regulation.  The Daily Caller has more:

The Senate has yet to take up the measure.

I think I've finally figured it out.  The "Affordable" Care Act was in fact a massive cost-shifting from the shoulders of the insurance companies (and therefore their stockholders and owners) and illegal immigrants (prospective Democrats?  Yah think?) onto any individual citizens able to withstand any cost whatsoever.  In addition, it also comprised, as has been stated before, a massive federal power grab from the States and power grab from and intrusion into the lives of private citizens.  Remember back to before the Act took effect.  Yes, it's true; our health care insurance and delivery systems were both a hodgepodge.  Yet, with any degree of brains and initiative, at least most of those under the federal poverty line were able to obtain affordable health care.  This was through both cost-shifting by hospitals (which, yes, indirectly cost consumers money but the cost was directly borne by insurance companies) and free prescription programs offered by pharmaceutical companies (in my opinion to avoid precisely the type of massive federal intervention which later took place and possibly to offset massive profits for income tax, political and public relations purposes) as well as discount programs offered by retailers and through medical discount cards.  Now, there is a legal mandate that everyone sign up through either a government agency or contractor (outside of a few well-designed loopholes which in my opinion were put there specifically to get this monstrosity past the U.S. Constitution.  You can meet the mandate by buying insurance from a few organizations that are legally designated 'religious organizations'.  In my local area there is also a pilot program which provides very-low-cost coverage to people below the federal poverty line.  The process for getting in is very simple.  The literature given out to describe services available is very general and dumbed-down beyond belief.  (You have to contact the program's administrators and ask to get information about anything beyond the most basic information).  And if your first language is Spanish there is a translator there for you {ring any alarm bells considering what's been going on over the last year or so at our southern border?  It should.  Sounds as if that band that we hear all over the airwaves, Obie and the Dems, is working hard to satisfy the voting bloc which they anticipate will keep them in power over the next fifty years; and no, for those of you who are a little slow, I do not mean those who crossed our southern border legally!  I am referring to illegal crossers and their progeny, who by mere tradition in the United States will be considered legal citizens (I support that tradition, by the way.  In fact, I support making it into law.  I simply don't support its' use as a political tool.)}
