Barr IS investigating the investigators amd he is not alone.
Attorney General William Barr has met with foreign intelligence officials, including during a trip to Italy earlier in September, regarding an investigation into surveillance activities against the Trump campaign, The Washington Post reported.
Barr was joined in the meeting by John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, WaPo reported, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter.
“As the Department of Justice has previously announced, a team led by U.S. Attorney John Durham is investigating the origins of the U.S. counterintelligence probe of the Trump 2016 presidential campaign,” department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec told Politico in a statement. “Mr. Durham is gathering information from numerous sources, including a number of foreign countries. At Attorney General Barr’s request, the President has contacted other countries to ask them to introduce the Attorney General and Mr. Durham to appropriate officials.”
Barr tapped Durham earlier in 2019 to lead a broad investigation into FBI and CIA activities in the run-up to an investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government.
He has said he is concerned that intelligence agencies improperly spied on the Trump campaign and has said he wants to find out if the FBI and CIA directed any intelligence-gathering activities at Trumpassociates before July 31, 2016, which is when the bureau opened its counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign

Notes: Attorney General William Barr announced that he had launched a review of the origins of the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. It was reported in May that he had assigned John Durham to lead it several weeks earlier. Durham was given the authority "to broadly examin[e] the government's collection of intelligence involving the Trump campaign's interactions with Russians," reviewing government documents and requesting voluntary witness statements.

From the Wa/Post we have this nonsense and our response:
September 30, 2019 at 7:28 p.m. CDT
Barr’s personal involvement is likely to stoke further criticism from Democrats pursuing impeachment that he is helping the Trump administration use executive branch powers to augment investigations aimed primarily at the president’s adversaries.
Editor's notes: OF COURSE, Trump wanted to discredit the accusation that he was a Russian agent. It was a damn lie and the Mueller failure proved this to be true . . . . or Pelosi would not have dropped the charge as she pursues impeachment.

Whistleblower form changed to allow 2nd and 3rd hand inform with CIA knowledge:
According to new reports, the original whistleblower form had been doctored to allow for second-hand accounts less than a month before the leaker accused President Trump of wrongdoing.One America’s Chanel Rion has the story from the White
The Senate must hold a trial if the House votes for impeachment.
“There is no way we could somehow bar the doors and prevent the managers from presenting the articles to the Senate,” stated a GOP leadership memo reportedly obtained by HuffPost. “The rules of impeachment are clear on this point.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the formal impeachment inquiry into Trump last Tuesday after the White House released a memo of Trump’s conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Following the decision was the release of an anonymous whistleblower complaint against the president over his repeated attempts to enlist Ukrainian officials to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, and allegedly withholding almost $400 million in military aid from Ukraine as leverage. Turns out this withholding took place a month before the alledged phone call. If that report is true, that the military funds were put on hold a month before the phone call, there is no possibility for a quid pro quo.

In case you were wondering, investigation into Hillary's email records has been revived.
- The Trump administration has revived an investigation into email records from Hillary Clinton's former aides, The Washington Post reported Saturday.
- Investigators reportedly reached out to roughly 130 officials in recent weeks over years-old emails and told them the emails were retroactively classified and are now considered potential security violations.
- The investigation began roughly 18 months ago, but the officials told The Post that investigators appeared to drop the effort but picked it up again last month.
Before we Conservatives jump all over this headline, maybe they should stop acting like sheep, and think about what Senate Republicans have been all about:
“Where’s the Senate?” – Rudy Giuliani Joins Chorus of GOP Voters Wondering Why Senate Has Turned Its Back on President Trump
Editor: True, the Senate GOP has not gone after those who came up with the Maueller Investigation, but, for the most part, they have supported Trump, overtly speaking.
While these Senators will allow for a certain degree of legitimacy when it comes to "the phone call," I do not believe they will agree with the notion that this phone call rises to the level of impeachment.
Understand that the Gateway Pundit wrote this headline, and, while I use this publication more than most of the others, there are times when the Pundit, in its conservatiiveopinion, gets ahead of its skies, as they say.
The dye has already been cast when it comes to two opposing opinions about impeachment. The GOP knows full well that a vote to impeach will bring the GOP to its knees for a couple of decades.
This is not like Nixon. You might not remember, but GOP leadership went to Nixon before the House could vot for impeachment and gave him the bad news and Nixon resigned. That is not happening with the GOP leadership. You can count on this fact: If impeachment is in the cards for the GOP, the leadership will try to talk Trump into resigning . . . . which he may not do. If that is the scenario, again - you can kiss off the GOP chances of political victory for a decade or more.
Back in 2008, Barack successfully revealed his strategy for future takeover of the U.S. government:
July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
Know this: The only one who knew what he was talking about when it came to achieving "national security objectives" was Barack Obama. The Marxist Media never asked and Barack never offered an explaination . . . . period.
Obama makes this statement and now we have Brennan fulfilling these words with this headline:

Obama makes this statement and now we have Brennan fulfilling these words with this headline:
Brennan Calls on Unlimited Number of Deep State Spies to Use New, Secretly Altered Whistleblower Complaint Form to ‘Report Trump’
We now know that the Deep State as it exists within the Democrat Party as well as the Intel Community is the "national security force" Barack was talking about. His comments, below and his election were nothing short of a call to arms.
July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We
cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the
national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a
civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as
strong, just as well-funded."
Under the new rules (August f 2019), information in a whistleblower complaint does not have to be 1st information. In other words, "they" can simply make up garbageand report that as if fact, kind of like what they are doing right now.
Brennan Calls on Unlimited Number of Deep State Spies to Use New, Secretly Altered Whistleblower Complaint Form to ‘Report Trump’
Editor: Until August of 2019, all whistleblower complaints had to be borne of 1st hand information. That was changed by whoever has the authority to change things in August and WALA, we have the current whistleblower report . . . . and all of it is 2nd and 3rd hand information, meaning . . . . . . . . . . none of it would be allowed in a court of law.
Such is the nature of virtually all the major headlined charges against our President.
Understand that the rules were changed a month and a half ago and the complaint, written by a staff of lawyers, was submitted almost immediately.
I believe this latest faux scandal will take us right up to election day, and, I believe this because they have run out of time to come up with anything real and criminal. They have no choice but to die with this latest nonsense. That is why Pelosi has made it clear that no other complaint will be used in the coming impeachment complaint by the House. Her reasoning? Because to use the other complaints would weaken the case for impeachment, proving that "they" know they have failed in their previous efforts to criminally condemn our President.
Anatomy of a "nothing burger."

Susan Rice: Obama Put Call Transcripts On Top Secret Server, Too — Former national security adviser Susan Rice acknowledged last night that the Obama administration moved transcripts of conversations with foreign leaders onto the same top-secret server where the Trump administration stored …
Editor's notes: So, nothing unudual about Trump moving transcripts of his private conversations to a "secure vault." All modern day president's did this. Secondly, about withhilding military funds as part of a quid pro quo leading to an investigation of Biden: The military funding was withheld a full month BEFORE the call to the Ukraine president and was released two months after the call . . . . without a hint of a pending investigation. In other words, there simply was no "quid pro quo" and the Socialst Dems know it.
the LA Times editors still donot realize what is happening to their Marxist Party. Trump WANTs this impeachment battle.
Los Angeles Times:
Trump, caught off guard, struggles to fight impeachment storm — As soon as President Trump learned he was facing an impeachment investigation on Tuesday, he upended his meetings with world leaders near the United Nations and rushed to his soaring skyscraper a few blocks away in midtown Manhattan.
Editor (update #1): On second thought, just how stupid is this headline? Trump "caught off guard ???" These Socialist clowns have been overtly talking about "impeachment" since before he was sworn into office, and, an LA Times editor thinks Trump, three years into his presidency, has been caught off guard?! Me? I believe that "they" should not allow low I.Q. types to attempt to communicate in a public forum.

Editor notes: If my theory is correct, Trump is not the one "off guard." You should know that the reason for the charge against Trump for before he was inaugurated is the rather profound fact that he is not a One World Idealogue. the European Socialist Community knew this from the very beginning.
"They" intend to argue that "U.N. treaty" supersedes our sovereign laws as established in the US Constitution. THAT is how these clowns intend to get around the 1st, 2nd, 10th, and 14th Amendments . . . . just ignore them while they pretend that the UN is the single government of the world. When they complain about the move away from American values, they are not talking about American values, rather European values. You must never forget this distinction.

Feinstein pulls an aged old Democrat trick and asks or something she knows does not exist.
Feinstein calls for 'word-for-word' transcript of Trump call at heart of impeachment inquiry
Editor: They stopped taping conversations with foreign leaders back in the Nixon days. But that is beside the fact. We know that there is no recording of the Trump phone call in question, nor is a recording part of the claim by the whistleblower. The whistleblower complaint was based on a transcription of the phone call in question if we are to believe House Democrats and the whistleblower himself. There is no recording nor is there a claim that a recording exists. And I venture to add that Feinstein knows this or should know.
To keep raising the specter of distrust and conspiracy is no longer working for either side of the political battle the Democrats have forced upon all of us.
Whistleblower complaints must be (according to stated law) first hand information, not 2nd or 3rd hand information as is the case with the current complaint. But, if you are a Democrat, what do you care about stated law?

While you may be caught up in an effort to figure out who is telling the truth, think about this: All the whistleblower information is hearsay (second hand) or, third hand - sourced in anti-Trump media. In other wqrds, all of the rephrased accusations this morning were and are part of a Democrat written script and nothing more.
Rep. Ratcliffe and his statement during the mornings clown show in the House:
Chairman Schiff wrote a letter on September 13th accusing you of being part of an “unlawful coverup” and then the Speaker of the House took it one step further. She went on national TV and said not once but twice that you broke the law… You were publicly accused of committing a crime and you were also falsely accused of committing a crime. You were required as you noted to follow the opinion of the Justice Department, 11 page report, on whether or not you were required to report the whistleblower complaint. Correct?… So you were publicly accused and you were wrongly accused and yet here today I have not heard an apology. Welcome to the House of Representatives with Democrats in charge… The whistleblower is in fact wrong in numerous respect… The Democrats are intent on impeaching President Trump for lawful conduct… The whistleblower then goes on to say, ‘I was not a direct witness to the events described’ … In other words, all of this is secondhand information. None of it is firsthand information. The sources the whistleblower bases his complaints on include the Washington Post, The New York Times, Politico, The Hill, Bloomberg, ABC News and others. In other words, much like the Steel Dossier the allegations in whistleblower’s complaints are based on third-hand mainstream media sources, rather than first hand information

The Trump-Ukraine Transcript Contains Evidence of a Quid Pro Quo — I haven't been a litigator since 2015. I haven't conducted a proper cross-examination since 2014. But if I couldn't walk a witness, judge, and jury through the transcript of Donald Trump's call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky …
Editor: There is not a hint of a "quid pro quo" in the transcript. Trust is not required to believe in this statement. All one has to do is read the damn transcript. Shepherd Smith did (he read the report) and lied about what he found.
We are about to discover the power of a lie told in concert. Understand the biggest lie in political history was the one told on Trump by the Democrat Leadership involving the Mueller investigation. Hoping against hope, the Resistance could not make a case against Trump despite his full but resentful cooperation, 30 million dollars in expenditures, and, 19 investigators, all committed anti-Trump folks, most supporters of Hillary Clinton . . . . and none of whom were members of the GOP. The Opposition has failed to remove President Trump at every turn. This latest effort may be their last critical effort before the 2020 election.
As an aside, the above referenced article shows how far to the Left the National Review has gone. William Buckley would be ashamed.
The Marxist Media omits wording in transcript following "favor" to make it look like Trump was seeking a quid pro quo.
Note: The "favor," as Shepherd Smith reported, was NOT an investigation of Hunter/Joe Biden but rather, an investigation of sorts into the 2016 election . In order to make it sound as if Trump was setting up a quid pro quo involving an Undrainian investigation into Hunter Biden and future military funding via the Trump Administration, Smith and other anti-Trumpers chose to skip over 400/500 words in the actual transciption. We have included the wording following "favor" to insure a just report. Will Smith correct his own reporting or continue his pretense at being an unbiased reporter who cares only for the facts ?
FYI: As is my policy, I will wait to give a full report on the "transcrpt" events of the morning . . . . too many claims to "facts" at this point, too many to sort through. Here is what we know at this moment:
Update: according to Bret Baier (Fox News) we now know more than what was known by the whistleblower.
FYI: As is my policy, I will wait to give a full report on the "transcript" events of the morning . . . . too many claims to "facts" at this point, too many to sort through.
Suffice it to say that there was no quid pro quo requests/demands from the President as there was in the Biden statement ("fire the prosecutor or we will withhold 1.2 billion dollars in federal aid to Ukraine").
We also know that the manuscript/transcript was the end result of 4 or 5 Intel agents and their transcriptions as the phone call was taking place, not the result of listening to a recording of the phone call. Turns out that recordings are not made of such international conversations . . . . true for all Presidents.
It will be soon forgotten, but the concern of the Inspector General as parroted by the Dems, was based on the transcription process as represented in this post. No one listend to or complained about the phone call to Ukraine based on a recording of said phone call and "no one" includes the I.G. andor any Democrat opponent of the President.
I doubt that I will add to this post before tomorrow or the following day ~ editor

There should be no billionaires. Such talk ONLY harms the rest of the country and here is why:
Bernie actually said this. It's on video. My question is this: Why are the uber-rich not afraid of Bernie or Warren?
Bernie in a campaign statement: There should be no billionaires. We are going to tax their extreme wealth and invest in working people. Read the plan.
Editor: And his plan ? Bernie wants to tax 180,000 Americans, his version of the "uber rich," as much as 8% above a certain wealth baseline. I don't have that baseline in mind, but it makes no difference to me, because, after the Bernie (or Warren) wealth tax, we still have billionaires and millionaires. Nothing has changed. We still have massive income inequality as defined by these two socialists. The uber rich just have a little less money to spend on their yachts and mansions, and, the poor remain poor and dependent on Central Planning handouts as managed by the Socialist Left within the Democrat Party (and a few GOP pretenders).
Understand that the billionaire class do not fear Bernie because they know that Bernie is not proposing their banishment. If one has 5 billion and 1 billion is taken from them, their spending habits do not change. They have less to invest in their businesses, but their life-styles are not affected.
To be clear, Bernie/Warren propose to steal job creation and business investments from the rich (our nation's jobs creators). They will deny this, of course, but they cannot deny that the rich will keep on living "as the rich." Their (the rich) adjustment to the wealth tax will be to spend less on their corporations and all that "corporate investment" entails (job creation, wage increases, inventories, provisions for future growth, share-holder payments, and the like).
All we have to do to verify the above "theory" is to take a long look at Europe and its failing economies. Case closed; end of story.

Because any and all communications between our president and international leadership contains classified and/or privileged information, the Intel Community does not recommend the release of the whistleblower document.
"The information within the present complaint (i.e. the whistleblower complaint) . . . . is different in kind from that involved in any past cases . . . because the complaint involves confidential and potentially privileged communications by persons outside the intelligence community, the DNI lacks unilateral authority to transmit such materials." (an excerpt from the DNI letter sent to congress most recently).
"DNI" = Director of National Intelligence.
"DNI" = Director of National Intelligence.
Homeless count in our larger cities (there are homelless folks in virtually all of our cities, BTW).
NY City - 60,849; L.A. - 36,165; Seattle 11,199; S.F. - 8,011; D.C. - 6,521; Boston 6,203; and San Diego (with a Republican mayor) - 5,082. The fact of the matter is this: Without exception, every city, large or small, have homeless folks living in the streets or in city parks or under bridges or . . . . . . wherever. In Fresno, Ca. (pop 600,000), there are hundreds of folks living in and around the G Street Mission . . . . tents galore. In Sanger, 12 miles to the East of Fresno, with a population of 24,000, we have 300/400 hundred homeless folks living in tents in the bushes, or, near the several canals running through and on the outskirts of the city.
A significant number of these people are mentally ill. or, in some way have a limited ability to care for themselves. They have no job skills, for the most part, and their ability to move into a more prosperous way of life is simply non-existent. How the larger community provides for these people is a statement to the thoughtfulness and foresight of those who have not been left behind by society.

Leave it to the EU media to run a story about Joe Biden that the American Media is trying to hide from the American people.
Bidengate: How Hunter reaped millions from overseas business while his father was VP. So did Joe REALLY intervene to save him from Ukraine anti-corruption prosecutor?
- President Trump discussed with his Ukrainian counterpart the idea of investigating Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden
- Trump also reportedly asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to probe alleged misconduct by former VP Joe Biden, who is running against Trump
- The elder Biden used the threat of canceling U.S. loan guarantees to pressure Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor in 2016
- One beneficiary was Hunter, who sat on the board of an oligarch-owned energy company the prosecutor was investigating
- A war of words has put Biden and Trump in punsh-counterpunch mode, each accusing the other of corruption

So are we at the moment in world history when no-nothing children, absolute children, are controlling the national/international narrative?
In an angry and emotional speech at the United Nations climate summit on Monday, Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg tore into world leaders for failing to act.
"This is all wrong," Thunberg said, reading from a piece of paper. "I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean, yet you come to us young people for hope. How dare you."
"People are suffering," the 16-year-old continued through tears. "People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are at the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about ismoney and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you."
"How dare you continue to look away and come here saying you are doing enough," Thunberg added. "You say you hear us and understand the urgency, but no matter how sad and angry I am, I do not want to believe that. Because if you really understood the situation and still kept on failing to act, then you would be evil. And that I refuse to believe."

AOL defends Obama's Nobel Peace Prize. Who cares when he got the prize when, in fact, he accomplished next to nothing when it came to world peace.
AOL: President Trump told reporters at the United Nations Monday that while he was deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize, he didn’t expect to be awarded one.
“I think I’m going to get a Nobel Prize for a lot of things, if they gave it out fairly, which they don’t,” Trump said following a bilateral meeting with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan.
As do many U.S. conservatives, Trump then voiced frustration that former President Barack Obama received the award in 2009.
“Well, they gave one to Obama immediately upon his ascent to the presidency and he had no idea why he got it,” Trump said despite not being asked about his predecessor.
“You know what, that was the only thing I agreed with him on.”
Obama was awarded the Nobel PeacePrize more than a year and a half into his first term of office. In its announcement, the committee said it was giving it to Obama “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples,” and singled out his “vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.”
By the time Obama got the prize, he had already delivered a speech to "the Muslim people" (his words) but - actually - he gave his speech to the students at the University of Cairo (June of 2009). The student body was polite in their applause and Barack, promising that this was a " new beginning" in U.S. / Muslim relations, never went back nor did he follow-up on his visit to the University in any way. By the time he received his prize, Barack was already crafting an alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood and applauded the Brotherhood's eventual effort to take over Egypt. He pulled out of Iraq and allowed ISIS to fester and grow and refused to exterminate this murdering hord. He used Iran as his proxy to fund radical Islam, and, at every turn, worked to defeat the conservative government in Israel. And by the time he finished his 2nd term, none of the Middle East leadership outside of Iran, trust him ny further than could vomit. And Trump straightened out that miss, before his second year was finished. OF COURSE, he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, but, that too, is all about politics.

Forget about Trump. Think about Biden and his abuse of office.
Two years after leaving office, Joe Biden couldn’t resist the temptation last year to brag to an audience of foreign policy specialists about the time as vice president that he strong-armed Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor.
In his own words, with video cameras rolling, Biden described how he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S.loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.
“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” Biden recalled telling Poroshenko.
“Well, son of a bitch, he got fired. And theyput in place someone who was solid at the time,” Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations event, insisting that President Obama was in on the threat.

My question is this: Who in the world thought this clown had a chance to succeed? Answer: Only Bill.
Here is the President's rsponse:

Obviously, Warren's NY Parks rally was about the size of a smaller Trump rally (10,000). My Question: Why all the lies? She lies about her ethnicity, crowd size during her 2020 campaign and the fact that she is a socialist.

House Dems don't have the votes nor the support of Pelosi but are determined to proceed anyway.
Politico reported:
Sources for above text: Gateway Punite, Politico and Midknight Review .
Pelosi criticized the panel’s handling of impeachment in harsh terms, complaining committee aides have advanced the push for ousting President Donald Trump far beyond where the House Democratic Caucus stands. Democrats simply don’t have the votes on the floor to impeach Trump, Pelosi said.Nadler’s Judiciary Committee recently approved procedures for an impeachment investigation into President Trump despite a failed house vote favoring impeachment, just last month.
“And you can feel free to leak this,” Pelosi added, according to multiple people in the room. Pelosi’s office declined to comment on the meeting.
It was the latest sign of the widening schism between Pelosi and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, two longtime allies who are increasingly in conflict over where to guide the party at one of its most critical moments.

Comey a crook but pays nothing for his criminality.
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz Reveals He Referred James Comey For Criminal Prosecution
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform on Wednesday morning.Horowitz revealed to lawmakers that he criminally referred former FBI Director James Comey for prosecution.
The Washington Times reported:
Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz said Wednesday that he referred ex-FBI Director James Comey for criminal prosecution.
“We are required by the [Inspector General] Act to send information that we’ve identified that could plausibly be criminal to the Department of Justice,” said Mr. Horowitz, confirming what amounted to a criminal referral.
The Justice Department ultimately decided not to prosecute Mr. Comey despite Mr. Horowitz’s team concluding he improperly leaked information to the news media. The documents leaked by Mr. Comey were sensitive, but not classified.

Is anyone worried about who would win a war with Iran?
Iran rejects U.S. claim it was behind Saudi oil strikes, says ready for war
While the Dems point to the fact that we "could not even beat down the Taliban," still who is seriously worried about a war with Iran. Understand that the Russians spent 10 or 12 years fighting the Taliban Never forget that Bush left Afghanistan with only 400 or so Taliban alive in the that country . . . . so we beat them once. AND, the Taliban conflict, the most recent conflict, was an Obama creation, or, have you all forgotten that Afghanistan was "Obama's war." We are not in Afghanistan because of Trump. Our President is only trying to finish what Barack began anew.
But back to Iran. The Taliban conflict is not the only model for war versus the Muslims. Iraq and Kuwait should be included, as well. And if Obama had not pulled out of Iraq when he did, that war would have been final long before now. The Taliban is not a country, and, because they are not a nation within itself, they are an impossible moving target. By contrast, Iran is a country, complete with a national army and boundaries to be defended. The Iranians are precisely the kind of military power our military prefers.
Why would Pelosi give Trump this victory? But this is not the first report looking forward to the passage of the USMCA.

This is our president's first major trade agreement. It could result in thousands of jobs and give our farmers, who still support our President, a real shot in the arm.

Maybe that is why Pelosi and her Dimwitted base may move to pass this trade agreement . . . . I mean, it has been a year or two since Canada and Mexico agreed with Trump on the particulars.

Forget about Rissian influence and start worrying about Google, Facebook and the godless Democrats as they pull out all the stops in their effort to defeat the Conservative Nation and its elected officials . . . including Trump.

I remember when this was going on. And, I am glad to report that our conservative radio personalities were not fooled.

Another fake news item. Me? I trust nothing from a Marxist News Outlet such as the Daily Beast.
Daily Beast: President Donald Trump has left the impression with foreign officials, members of his administration, and others involved in Iranian negotiations that he is actively considering a French plan to extend a $15 billion credit line to the Iranians if Tehran comes back into compliance with the Obama-era nuclear deal.
Trump has in recent weeks shown openness to entertaining President Emmanuel Macron’s plan, according to four sources with knowledge of Trump’s conversations with the French leader. Two of those sources said that State Department officials, including Secretary Mike Pompeo, are also open to weighing the French proposal, in which the Parisgovernment would effectively ease the economic sanctions regime that the Trump administration has applied on Tehran for more than a year.
Editor: Does this story make any sense to you. Or have you forgotten that Trump was extremely critical of Barack for paying Iran billions of dollars to agree to his nuclear "deal?" End of story, Case closed.

September 11, 2019
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court granted a request by President Donald Trump’s administration to fully enforce a new rule that would curtail asylum applications by immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, a key element of his hard-line immigration policies.
The court said the rule, which requires most immigrants who want asylum to first seek safe haven in a third country through which they had traveled on their way to the United States, could go into effect as litigation challenging its legality continues.
Liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg dissented.

9/11 - we must never forget:
In addition to the 2,800 plus identified victims in the Twin Towers, searchers found 14,000 DNA fragments of 11,000 additional individuals.
The anti-war crowd within the national news media has continued the lie that reduced the victim count to 2900 + from a factual count of approximately 14,500.
In addition, the Democrat Party leadership, bastards all, almost immediately began turning the 9/11 event into a political rallying point, beginning with elapse time between President Bush being told of the first Twin Towers and his first announcement regarding the developing disaster.
Over the years and for whatever reason(s), we have officially ignored the fact that all but one or two terrorist in the four planes that attacked our nation, came from Saudi Arabia.
Adding to the 14,500 deaths on that day, as many as 5,000 first respondeers have or will die from health issues relating to their recovery work on or following that fatal day.

"They" hate Bolton but, somehow, are offended by his firing.
Look, Bolton's time was up and Trump wanted a new face for new ideas and input. No big deal unless you are obsessed with your hate Trump agenda and see a catastrophy in every little thing Trump decides to do. I have included the following headlines just to demonstrate how insane the Left has become. Its not what the headlines say, but the ridiculous number of headlines generated over a decision that is common to all presidents. Don't count the headlines without including all the publications picking up the story and listed in the separate "discussions" ~ editor.
