Stop Grandstanding About Niger
At The Daily Signal, former Green Beret and Heritage Foundation Fellow Steven Bucci urges politicians and the media to stop unnecessarily politicizing the work that American special forces were conducting in Niger, writing that “grandstanding senators and talking heads don’t help make America safe, but missions just like the one in Niger do.”
EXCERPT: The loss of four special operations soldiers in Niger is a tragedy. We grieve as a nation, rightly, whenever we lose any of the brave young men and women who serve in uniform.
That said, politicians and news media are turning the event into a farce.
Having served as an Army Green Beret for 28 years, I cannot let the mischaracterizations — many by leaders who clearly know better — continue without a comment. …
The U.S. has conducted these kinds of missions around the world since the 1950s. At times we have had as few as a dozen of these operations, and at others several hundred in as many as 80-plus countries simultaneously.
These missions are routine and have short-circuited conflicts on nearly every continent in the world at one time or another.

Reality Check: Trump’s Tax Cuts
Leftists are just SURE that Trump’s tax cuts are all about lining the pockets of his corporate cronies. What they don’t want to admit is that under President Obama, real corporate profits rose 11 percent a year but “the pass-through to workers” was only 0.3 percent.
Nancy Pelosi called Trump’s plan to eliminate the SALT deduction “an insidious effort to raise taxes on middle class families … across America.” Investors Business Daily explains that “the benefits of the SALT deduction go almost entirely to upper-income families.”
The chairman of the president’s Council of Economic Advisers, Kevin Hassett, says cutting the corporate tax will deliver growth and higher wages. Unsurprisingly, this ignited the Left. George Will explains why he’s probably right.
Wall Street Journal Editorial: “What do left-of-center economists have against a tax cut that would raise wages for American workers? They’re always telling us that America needs a raise, and that labor isn’t capturing enough of corporate profits, yet along come Republicans promising to raise wages by encouraging more investment in the U.S., and they react with shock and smears.”

Incomprehensible Corruption
Not only did Obama and Clinton conspire to sell 20% of our precious uranium to the Russians, but Hillary and the DNC funded the phony Russian Dossier they intended to bring Trump down with. As yet, the networks have strenuously ignored all of this. Whether they ever will remains to be seen. My money says they won’t. Baghdad Bob had nothing on this scum.
NYT Reporter: Clinton Campaign Lawyer ‘Vigorously’ Denied Being Behind Dossier
Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias “vigorously” denied his involvement in the anti-Trump dossier that has made up the substance of the Russian collusion allegations, New York Times reporter Ken Vogel said.
Elias’ denial appears to have been intentionally misleading in light of new reporting from The Washington Post that Elias hired opposition research firm Fusion GPS on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Elias reportedly hired Fusion to dig up dirt on Trump as part of a project that became the Trump dossier.
Clinton campaign, DNC paid for research that led to Russia dossier
The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund research that resulted in a now-famous dossier containing allegations about President Trump’s connections to Russia and possible coordination between his campaign and the Kremlin, people familiar with the matter said.
Christopher Steele, former British intelligence officer pictured in London on March 7, 2017, compiled the dossier on Donald Trump’s alleged ties to Russia.
The Trump dossier was Clinton’s dirtiest political trick
Now it’s Democrats’ turn in the barrel.
The explosive report in the Washington Post goes a long way to explaining how the dossier was so widely spread among political reporters during the election. The Clinton camp must have passed it out like Halloween candy to its media handmaidens.
The Post report provides possible answers to other questions, too. Because Clinton’s team paid for the dossier, it’s likely that she gave it to the FBI, where James Comey planned to hire the former British agent who had compiled it to keep digging dirt on Trump.

Sean Hannity: “People Will Be Going to Jail” Over Uranium One Scandal
I’VE NEVER WAVERED AN IOTA. SOME LOW LEVEL FLUNKIE MAY BE SACRIFICED. BUT NO ONE WILL EVER CONVINCE ME ANY OF THESE CRIMINALS WILL EVER ANSWER FOR ANY FILTHY DEED THEY’VE PULLED. IT JUST WON’T HAPPEN. REPUBLICANS DON’T HAVE THE GUTS.
The Post reported that Clinton campaign and DNC lawyer Marc Elias and his law firm Perkins Coie paid Fusion GPS to continue researching Trump after a Republican donor who originally funded the research pulled out in April 2016.
Sean Hannity: Here’s my prediction tonight. People will be going to jail over this… Congress has a duty, a moral obligation, you can’t have a dual justice system.
[CtH: I’m still hoping that prophet I saw on Sid Roth, who said high level Democrats will be going to jail proves to have been right. I’m so SICK of these people getting away with this stuff! ]

GOP investigates Russian granted US entry by Obama administration while under FBI investigation for bribery
The Obama administration awarded a visa allowing a top Russian nuclear executive to enter the United States after the FBI had already gathered substantial evidence he was involved in a racketeering scheme involving bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering, court records show.
Emails: Obama DOJ Officials Sought to Route ‘Slush Fund’ Cash to Orgs of Their ‘Choosing’
Emails also show effort to exclude conservative causes
Former President Obama’s Department of Justice sought to route settlement money to organizations of their “choosing” while seeking to exclude conservative groups, documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show.
The practice in question began in August 2014 when the Justice Department entered into a $17-billion settlement with Bank of America for selling residential mortgage-backed securities leading up to the 2008 financial collapse. Similar arrangements were made with J.P Morgan Chase and Citigroup that brought the total amount to $36.65 billion.

Bannon’s Cannon Frosts Flake
Look, it took a long time for me to think that title up. For what I get paid around here you ain’t gettin’ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Or Paul McCartney. Or (fill in any two-bit rapper you can think of here… I don’t know any and don’t care to… I don’t consider that garbage as music anyway).
Bannon Claims Another Scalp as Jeff Flake Decides Not to Seek Reelection
Under threat of an arduous primary challenge backed by Steve Bannon, Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., announced Tuesday he will not seek reelection.
He told The Arizona Republic ahead of his announcement that he has become convinced “there may not be a place for a Republican like me in the current Republican climate or the current Republican Party.”
Flake said he has not “soured on the Senate” and loves the institution, but that as a traditional, libertarian-leaning conservative Republican he is out of step with today’s Trump-dominated GOP.

Jeff Flake Mourns: ‘Traditional Conservative’ That Values Immigration, Free Trade Can’t Win
“When the next generation asks us, ‘Why didn’t you do something? Why didn’t you speak up?’ What are we going to say?” Flake said sorrowfully as he stood up in the Senate for his announcement. “Mr. President, I rise today to say, enough.”
Flake said that he no longer could serve as a conservative in a party that no longer valued free trade or immigration.
Rand Paul Is Only Lawmaker Who Refused To Stand, Applaud Jeff Flake Trashing POTUS Trump On Senate Floor
Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) gave a bridge burning speech on the Senate floor after news broke that he will not seek re-election in 2018. According to Daily Beast reporter Andrew Desiderio, every lawmaker who attended the speech, both Democrats and Republicans, stood and clapped for Flake — except Rand Paul.
The KY lawmaker didn’t see the virtue in trashing Trump as tax reform is on the table.
THE MEDIA WHORES, OF COURSE, FELL ALL OVER THIS RINO PUNK
CNN Goes All Out: Flake Speech Was ‘Breathtaking,’ ‘Historic,’ ‘Extraordinary Moment’ in U.S. Politics
On Tuesday afternoon, CNN Newsroom couldn’t contain their overwhelming praise for Republican Senator Jeff Flake (Ariz.) following his anti-Trump speech on the Senate floor, swooning like Barack Obama had just given the speech by declaring it a “breathtaking,” “historic,” and “extraordinary moment in American politics.”
Host Brooke Baldwin kicked things off, gushing that “[w]e have all just now witnessed an extraordinary moment in American politics” as “a sitting Republican senator” blamed President Trump for not seeking reelection due to his “actions and behavior.”
[CtH: Gag me! If he’d said anything remotely like this about Obama, he’d have been tarred and feathered.]
Jeff Flake won’t rule out taking on Trump in 2020 primary
Flake, who said he believes the president is setting a bad example for children, called out Trump for tweeting at foreign leaders and referring to Democrats as “losers or clowns.”
“These are kinds of things that we shouldn’t be okay with,” he said. “We keep waiting for a pivot that simply isn’t happening.”

Jeff Flake Retirement ‘Another Scalp’ for Bannon
At the Arizona rally last week, Bannon mocked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), telling him that his people are going home, in reference to McConnell’s comment about how losers go home and winners make policy.
“Note to self, Mitch: Big Luther Strange and Little Bobby Corker are both going home,” Bannon said to the raucous Arizona crowd last week. “The people of Alabama and the people of Tennessee have spoken. Your folks are going home, and their folks are making policy.”

Conservatives are the true feminists.
How to raise kids who are smart about money. When my girls were young, I asked a female banker with grown kids for advice about teaching my kids about money. She told me she had never done anything, just expected them to learn it by osmosis or something. I wonder if she felt the same way about learning to read and do math. Sheesh.
How many times has CNN told us an apple was a banana?
- CNN has repeatedly claimed that heavily regulated and difficult to obtain weapons are legal and easy to obtain.
- One month after President Trump made an Article 5 commitment to our NATO allies, CNN said he had never done it.
- CNN “reported” the non-fact that Republicans wanted to make rape and domestic violence pre-existing conditions in their Obamacare repeal bill. They even interviewed rape survivors so they could get their reactions to the fabrication.
- CNN spent hours pushing a four-byline story that alleged James Comey would publicly dispute the president’s claim that the former FBI director told him on three occasions that he was not under investigation. Comey did the opposite.
- CNN host Chris Cuomo, who has a law degree, said “Hate speech is excluded from protection” under the First Amendment. Hate speech is the REASON for the First Amendment. Nobody needs to be protected for warm cuddly speech!
- CNN Sally Kohn and her cohosts raised their hands in the air in a nod to the “hands up, don’t shoot” slogan and CNN pushed the video out on its social media channels. Yet nothing in the Michael Brown case, not the ballistic or the DNA evidence or the witness statements, backs up the contention that Brown was shot with his hands up.

Why I’m no longer a “seamless garment” Catholic
When I was (a lot) younger, I thought the seamless garment thing was beautiful. As I grew in age, wisdom, and beauty ;o), I began to see the worm in the apple.
Seamless garment theology replaces Jesus with Left-wing Social Justice.
Jesus came to proclaim the gospel of God. He called us to repent, and believe in Him, not to vote Democrat.
Within Catholic social teaching, there is a thing called the “hierarchy of truths.”
- Intrinsic evils are at the tippy top of the list.
- Affirmative obligations are lower down.
Seamless garment theology not only flips these around, but also gives priority to addressing affirmative obligations IN THE WAY THE LEFT PRESCRIBES.
Intrinsically Evil Acts — like abortion and euthanasia — can never be performed under any circumstances. It is a serious sin to deliberately endorse or promote any of these actions.
Affirmative Obligations — like relieving poverty — seek the common good. We should look to the Church’s rich history of social teaching and ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in how we individually and collectively meet these challenges.
There’s no question that unemployment, poverty, homelessness, etc. pose serious threats to the dignity of human beings. Nevertheless, they are neither intrinsic evils nor subject to the simplistic so-called solutions the Left pushes on us.

4 Pete’s Sake… Tuesday, October 24

In deference to CtH, my personal editor, I will endeavor (or endeavor, if you’re British) to shorten this a bit so it won’t take so long to load.
Kathy Griffin Slams ‘Fame-Whoring’ Lisa Bloom for Handling of Gruesome Trump Photo Shoot
MAYBE IT’S JUST ME, BUT I REALLY ENJOY IT WHEN THE LEFT EATS THEIR OWN.
Griffin stirred controversy when she participated in a June photo shoot featuring a prop bloody head resembling the president, and she subsequently brought in Bloom to deal with the fallout, which included losing her gig as co-host of CNN’s New Year’s Eve program. Griffin found Bloom’s work dissatisfactory and accused her of “fame-whoring” in a recent interview with the Daily Beast.
The Los Angeles-based attorney most recently grabbed headlines after she represented – and days later, didn’t represent – Harvey Weinstein following the release of stories detailing numerous allegations of sexual harassment and abuse against the Hollywood film mogul.

Military judge in Bergdahl case worries about Trump impact
FUNNY… EVERY CASE OF A WHITE OFFICER SHOOTING A BLACK PERSON DURING THE OBAMA YEARS, HE BLAMED THE COP OUT OF HAND. NOBODY MINDED WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID THEN.
The judge deciding Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s punishment said Monday he is concerned that President Donald Trump’s comments about the case could impact the public’s perception of the military justice system.
Sentencing was set to begin Monday for Bergdahl on charges that he endangered comrades by walking off his post in Afghanistan in 2009. But the judge, Army Col. Jeffery R. Nance, instead heard last-minute arguments by defense attorneys that recent comments by Trump are preventing a fair proceeding. Bergdahl faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
