Trump: No apology for travel ban Muslim comments - Washington Times

Trump: No apology for travel ban Muslim comments - Washington Times: "President Trump said Monday he won’t apologize for his past comments about Muslims and suggestions of a Muslim ban, saying he doubts it would make a difference to the courts that are deciding the legality of his travel ban policy.

“I think if I apologize it wouldn’t make 10 cents worth of difference. There’s nothing to apologize for,” Mr. Trump told The Washington Times at a press conference at the White House with the Nigerian president.

The travel ban went before the Supreme Court for oral argument last week, and the lawyer for Mr. Trump’s opponents, former top Obama administration litigator Neal Katyal, said if Mr. Trump would recant his previous statements the case against him could disappear."

The Changes That Made California Become a Liberal Fiasco

The Changes That Made California Become a Liberal Fiasco: "A Basket Case

“California’s de facto status as a one-party state lies at the heart of its poverty problem,” wrote Kerry Jackson, the Pacific Research Institute’s fellow in California studies. “With a permanent majority in the state Senate and the Assembly, a prolonged dominance in the executive branch, and a weak opposition, California Democrats have long been free to indulge blue-state ideology while paying little or no political price. The state’s poverty problem is unlikely to improve while policymakers remain unwilling to unleash the engines of economic prosperity that drove California to its golden years.”"

Confirmed: John Brennan Colluded With Foreign Spies to Defeat TrumpThe American Spectator

Confirmed: John Brennan Colluded With Foreign Spies to Defeat TrumpThe American Spectator:

"John Brennan’s CIA operated like a branch office of the Hillary campaign, leaking out mentions of this bogus investigation to the press in the hopes of inflicting maximum political damage on Trump. An official in the intelligence community tells TAS that Brennan’s retinue of political radicals didn’t even bother to hide their activism, decorating offices with “Hillary for president cups” and other campaign paraphernalia.
A supporter of the American Communist Party at the height of the Cold War, Brennan brought into the CIA a raft of subversives and gave them plum positions from which to gather and leak political espionage on Trump. He bastardized standards so that these left-wing activists could burrow in and take career positions. Under the patina of that phony professionalism, they could then present their politicized judgments as “non-partisan.”"

But his troubles may only be compounding, according to FBI sources and a congressional official who spoke to investigative reporter Sara Carter.
The officials say McCabe gave a “stand-down” order regarding the opening of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state through which she transmitted classified information."

“Anyone who supports Trump – or believes in what you believe – is not welcome here! And you need to leave right now because we won’t serve you!” Piatek claims the staff of The Happiest Hour told him."

Andrew Cuomo demands feds 'cease and desist' immigration crackdown - Washington Times:

"New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo sent a “cease and desist” letter to federal immigration authorities Wednesday, ordering them to alert state and local police before they attempt any more arrests and demanding they leave some illegal immigrants alone altogether.
He also said he was issuing an executive order banning ICE officers from making arrests at state prisons and jails, and ordered agencies not to ask about immigration status. He was hoping to deny federal authorities information that could lead to future deportations.
“I think it’s time a state stood up to ICE and made this case and let them know that people have rights,” the governor said, accusing the federal government of “stoking terror among law-abiding residents.”
His move puts New York back in stiff competition with California in the battle for the title of the country’s premier sanctuary state — "

Maine Democrats Vote Down Bill Banning FGM | Trending

Maine Democrats Vote Down Bill Banning FGM | Trending:

"If ever there was a bipartisan cause in this country, shouldn't it be banning female genital mutilation? Well, a bill banning FGM in the state of Maine was just voted down -- along party lines.
As Townhall's Elizabeth Yore reports, "69 GOP (and 1 Dem) [voted] for the bill and 77 Dems and Independents [voted[ against an FGM bill that would criminalize female genital mutilation."
Yore continues: "The Democratic House legislators who voted against this FGM bill curiously argued that 'FGM doesn’t happen in Maine,' despite the fact that Maine is one of only eight federal pilot programs to address the exponential growth of FGM in America. If little girls in Maine are not at risk for FGM, then why is Maine receiving more than $200,000 a year from the federal government to help prevent FGM?""

"Recovered text messages exchanged by anti-Trump FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page have been delivered to at least five congressional committees, sources familiar with the situation told Fox News Thursday.
The messages were transmitted to lawmakers three months after Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz announced that his office had recovered communications between Strzok and Page over the period between Dec. 14, 2016 and May 17, 2017.
One source told Fox News that approximately 50 pages of texts were provided to lawmakers. The source added that the messages were incomplete, garbled and in some cases incomprehensible because characters were substituted for letters."

Judicial Watch Statement on Justice IG Criminal Referral of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to U.S. Attorney - Judicial Watch

Judicial Watch Statement on Justice IG Criminal Referral of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to U.S. Attorney - Judicial Watch:

"The wheels of justice finally caught up with McCabe for repeatedly lying under oath to investigators. It’s high time America had some accountability for his misconduct.
Judicial Watch uncovered documents about McCabe’s conflicted handling of the Clinton investigation that should have triggered action months ago. Judicial Watch’s finds on FBI and McCabe corruption generated irresistible public pressure for accountability.
McCabe’s potential criminal acts, on James Comey’s watch, are further proof that both the Clinton email and Trump-Russia investigations were irredeemably compromised. The Clinton email investigation was a sham and the Trump-Russia investigation is an abuse. Unfortunately the cover-up continues, the Justice Department and FBI are playing shell games, and refusing to turn over McCabe text messages in Judicial Watch FOIA litigation."

Limbaugh argued that the Democratic Party he grew up with no longer exists. Rather, he said, it’s been taken over by the “radical left, which is literally resisting everything.”"

Light of the World

By Tammy Derouin

I had the wonderful opportunity of being involved in a production of Godspell back when I was in high school. The thought of being on stage absolutely terrified me so I was not part of the cast. I found my comfort zone working behind the scenes. I had no idea how much my experience in the drama department and specifically the production of Godspell, would impact my life.

What seemed like a life consuming commitment at the time was over and gone forever in a blink of an eye. It was a time of new challenges, struggles and accomplishments. Many of the experiences would serve as stepping stones to understanding how to handle future challenging circumstances. They would include the value of surrounding myself with good people, accepting, facing and overcoming challenges, and the reinforcement of foundational beliefs.

At the time, I was simply enjoying the excitement of being entrusted with a new level of responsibility. I was in charge of every piece of equipment or furnishing (props) on the stage. The schedule, much like the director, was very demanding. The question became, was the end result worth such intensity and personal sacrifice? Did I believe in what I was doing? Was it worth my time and effort? I knew the answer was yes but it didn't really sink in until we stood and looked at each other after the curtain fell for the last time. I would carry those memories and many of life lessons with me for the rest of my life.

Friendships formed, and in some cases, still remain to this day. The importance of being surrounded by good God-fearing people, who were not only caring and dependable but ethical and honorable, has resonated throughout my life. The Golden Rule has always been part of my life, my beliefs, but learning what truly makes the rule so golden, seems to find its way back to this experience. Challenges are indeed challenging, among many other descriptive words. As long as you are breathing, you can expect to be challenged. How you react and treat others, despite the difficult times, not only affects you but every single person around you.

Godspell also provided a reinforcement of my beliefs in a fun and entertaining way. I can still recall most of the songs, despite the passing of more decades than I care to admit. It also served as a way to use humor to lighten the heavy load of life. Smiling and the ability to make people laugh or feel good about themselves despite your own personal battles, has been a life saving, sanity strengthening blessing.

As I searched for topics to write about, I'm always amazed at the never ending amount of hate which has consumed our society. Hate destroys more than any disease because it consumes one's soul. When hate, anger and bitterness grab hold of an individual, a group or a movement to further their agenda, their weapon of choice is aimed with nothing short of total destruction as their goal. Sadly, they do not realize they are also destroying themselves.

Prior to the Obama administration, I never experienced such levels of pure hatred and civil divide involving the American people during my lifetime. Life was not perfect and disagreements did take place. However, politics and policy could be debated without the repercussions so evident in today's society. The former president and his administration engaged in tactics to divide and conquer our land of freedom.

An individual, who could have used his position and office to create greater harmony, chose instead to cause chaos. He created much more distrust and bitter hatred among the American people. As the truth continues to unravel, I feel the true intent of the Obama administration will be exposed.

We are living in an era where your thoughts, beliefs and ideals are only free to practice if they are supported by a militant political movement. If you think independently or do not follow the popular movement of choice, your rights are not important. Sadly, you even run the risk of being physically attacked, verbally assaulted or a smear campaign could be launched against you.

Our society has moved away from God. Perhaps we need to revisit a Book which encourages life, love and forgiveness rather than embracing ideology which supports death, hatred and conquering and destroying individuals who do not share the same beliefs. Our nation was founded on Christian beliefs. The Book of Matthew is a good starting place for review.

“So let your light so shine before men let your light so shine so that they might know some kindness again....”

Enthusiasm for Censorship Has Deep Roots Among Liberals | The Heritage Foundation

Enthusiasm for Censorship Has Deep Roots Among Liberals | The Heritage Foundation:

"When shouting campus protesters hold signs that read, “We condemn freedom of speech that hurts other people’s feelings,” should conservatives take this seriously?
They should. The call to regulate offensive speech has deep intellectual roots on the Left. In fact, much evidence suggests that such regulation is necessary to bring about many of Left’s political and moral goals. Conservatives can better grasp where this trend is going by turning to some of its more articulate proponents.
Banning offensive speech is necessary to “protect the dignity and self-regard” of minority groups, write Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic, professors of law at the University of Alabama and leading advocates for the banning of certain speech they disapprove of and describe as hate speech. "

"The DNC’s suit, as it pertains to WikiLeaks, poses a grave threat to press freedom. The theory of the suit — that WikiLeaks is liable for damages it caused when it “willfully and intentionally disclosed” the DNC’s communications (paragraph 183) — would mean that any media outlet that publishes misappropriated documents or emails (exactly what media outlets quite often do) could be sued by the entity or person about which they are reporting, or even theoretically prosecuted for it, or that any media outlet releasing an internal campaign memo is guilty of “economic espionage”"

Based on the reports and the lawsuit, the DNC is expecting, without verification, for a jury and America to accept its narrative,” said Mr. Buschel.

A new report from Florida State University criminologist Gary Kleck shows that recently unearthed surveys from the CDC, which were never made public, show that Americans use guns in millions of defense scenarios every year on average."

The only thing you need to know about Earth Day

The only thing you need to know about Earth Day:

"So, if we want the environment to get better, Mother Earth to heal her wounds, Gaia to recover, etc., we need to go pell for leather in making the world's poorest as rich as possible as fast as possible. That’s the pre-condition for people to care enough to do all of those things which we know will benefit the environment.

The excellent news is we know how to do that.
We know there’s only one economic system which does do that. Every country and populace that has got rich has done so through some variant of capitalist free-marketry. No socialist system has managed it, no feudal, no planned, no fascist, certainly no communist. Every place and time which has engaged in what we today call neoliberal globalization has become rich. Thus, that's the system we need to use to save the environment, isn’t it?"

Because as others have noted, when a larger percentage of your country’s youth can expound upon the meaning of gender fluidity than they can what happened at Auschwitz, the future is imperiled."
