FBI sought secret FISA warrant to spy on Trump campaign officials

According to recent reports, the FBI was trying to launch a surveillance operation against several officials from Donald Trump’s campaign team over the summer. The FBI sought broad surveillance powers over four highly ranked members of the President-elect’s campaign team during the election, based on claims they had suspicious contact with Russian officials.

It is very rare that the FISA courts turn down an FBI request to conduct surveillance on someone, but they did just that, telling investigators that they needed to narrow their request. The four Trump team members who escaped the FISA warrants were not named directly in the report, however, it was in relation to claims that Russia possessed a significant number of files that could be used to blackmail Trump. The files collectively formed the basis of accusations against Trump campaign personnel members Carter Page, Paul Manafort, Lt. Gen. Micheal Flynn, and Trump’s personal lawer Micheal Choen. Those four men are most likely the names that were omitted in the report.

Secondary reports have surfaced, which speculate that the FBI did in fact seek to fulfill a narrower application in attempt to obtain a warrant from the FISA courts. If these reports are indeed true, it will put a further damper on the relationship between the incoming Trump administration and the intelligence community.

While it’s not incredibly shocking that the FBI was interested in surveilling members of Trump’s campaign team, it is very shocking that the FISA court said no. The last time the FISA court rejected a warrant request was back in 2009. There is an unconfirmed report stating that the FBI was finally granted a warrant in October, but it’s unclear if that has led to a full-on investigation.

The FISA courts were named after the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978. They stamp warrants which grant the US intelligence community broad surveillance powers under amendments to the original 2008 law. The courts proceedings are private, barring the first ever publicly made decision in 2013, when Edward Snowden revealed the existence of the PRISM program by presenting an NSA warrant to surveil Verison’s customer communications.

We don’t have a thorough understanding of the inner workings of the FISA, but we know that’s the place the federal government turns to seek warrants for spying on people, and they usually get their wishes granted. The Department of Justice shows thousands of annual applications are made by the federal government each year, with just a few of those needing modification prior to being approved by the FISA courts. It is likely that a modified version of the rejected warrant application was approved in October – based on the past behavior of the FISA courts, and reports of an unverified dossier that is gradually gaining attention.

How 4chan trolled the CIA, CNN and BuzzFeed with hilarious fantasy that got reported as real news (infographic)

(See INFOGRAPHIC below) From NaturalNews.com:

CNN and BuzzFeed just hit a whole new low as the world’s dirtiest “sleaze journalism” rags after being caught publishing erotic fanfiction fantasies as “CIA intelligence facts” to attack Donald Trump.

The revelations are astonishing and deeply damning to CNN and BuzzFeed, both of which utterly abandoned the most basic journalistic ethics in their rush to publish anything — including completely fabricated “fake news” — that might damage Donald Trump.

The allegations — which included bizarre, twisted fetish fantasies — were so obviously false and unsubstantiated that most news organizations refused to publish them. But CNN and BuzzFeed have abandoned any attachment to journalistic credibility and have demonstrated a shocking willingness to run with any and all news that they think might spread false rumors to damage the reputation of Donald Trump and his administration.

Here’s an infographic that pieces together what we know so far. What’s hilariously emerging from all this is how Arizona Sen. John McCain is such a laughable tool of disinfo and propaganda. Come to think of it, so is the CIA at this point…

CNN, BuzzFeed caught running fanfiction erotica message board fantasies as “intelligence dossier” to slander Trump… “an absolute disgrace” says President-elect

BREAKING STORY… check back often for updates… CNN and BuzzFeed just hit a whole new low as the world’s dirtiest “sleaze journalism” rags after being caught publishing erotic fanfiction fantasies as “CIA intelligence facts” to attack Donald Trump.

The revelations are astonishing and deeply damning to CNN and BuzzFeed, both of which utterly abandoned the most basic journalistic ethics in their rush to publish anything — including completely fabricated “fake news” — that might damage Donald Trump.

The allegations — which included bizarre, twisted fetish fantasies — were so obviously false and unsubstantiated that most news organizations refused to publish them. But CNN and BuzzFeed have abandoned any attachment to journalistic credibility and have demonstrated a shocking willingness to run with any and all news that they think might spread false rumors to damage the reputation of Donald Trump and his administration. (RELATED: Read MediaFactWatch.com for more stories on “fake news” from the left-wing media.)

“In a story that is getting more surreal by the minute, a post on 4Chan now claims that the infamous “golden showers” scene in the unverified 35-page dossier, allegedly compiled by a British intelligence officer, was a hoax and fabricated by a member of the chatboard as “fanfiction”, then sent to Rick Wilson, who proceeded to send it to the CIA, which then put it in their official classified intelligence report on the election,” reports Zero Hedge.

“It’s all fake. And not only fake; it’s a prank perpetuated by 4chan, on Rick Wilson himself,” explains this Pastebin post. “A post on 4chan on october 26 stated ‘mfw managed to convince CTR and certain (((journalists))) on Twitter there’ll be an October surprise on Trump this Friday’ along with a picture of a smug face with a hash name.”

“Nazi Germany” tactics, says Trump

“I think it was disgraceful that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to be false… That’s something that Nazi Germany would have done and did do,” said Trump in this morning’s press conference. “That information that was false and fake and never happened got released to the public. BuzzFeed writing it… I think they’re going to suffer the consequences, and they already are.”

Trump continued:

I must say that I thank a lot of the news organizations here today because they looked at that nonsense that was released by… who knows… maybe intelligence agencies, which would be a tremendous blot on their record, because a thing like that should never have been written, never have been released. I want to thank a lot of the news organizations here today… and they came out so strongly against that fake news and the fact that it was written about by one group [BuzzFeed] and one television station [CNN]. I just want to compliment many of the people in the room… there were some news organizations with all that was just said, that were so professional, that I’ve just gone up a notch as to what I think of you.

Buzzfeed writers Ken Bensinger, Mark Schoofs and Miriam Elder are “journo-terrorists”

What all this perfectly demonstrates is my theory of “journo-terrorism” which explains that the left-wing media has literally become engaged in acts of “psychological terrorism” to plant land mines in the brains of the American people.

BuzzFeed’s authors of this outrageous piece of malicious journo-terrorism are well-known purveyors of fake news and completely fabricated (but politically motivated) bulls##t: Ken Bensinger, Mark Schoofs and Miriam Elder.

Even knowing the entire “dossier” on Donald Trump was completely fabricated, BuzzFeed decided to go “full click bait” and publish it anyway, justifying their actions with this lame excuse: “BuzzFeed News is publishing the full document so that Americans can make up their own minds about allegations about the president-elect that have circulated at the highest levels of the US government.” (We refuse to link to BuzzFeed’s story. There’s no need to contribute to their click bait scheme.) (RELATED: See more news hoaxes at Hoax.news)

TownHall.com provides the most cognizant explanation of how BuzzFeed and CNN decided to commit credibility suicide in publishing this obviously fake collection of pure fiction:

On Tuesday night, BuzzFeed News published an explosive, yet completely unverified, dossier alleging that President-elect Donald Trump engaged in a whole host of, shall we say unusual, sexual activities in Moscow.

What’s worth talking about, however, are swirling claims on Reddit that 4chan users on the board /pol/ completely made the entire thing up. According to a variety of posts on the pro-Trump subreddit r/The_Donald, a user on /pol/, a 4chan board, made up the most salacious story in the report. He then mailed it to anti-Trump Republican strategist Rick Wilson, who then went to the CIA. The story was then included on the dossier published Tuesday by BuzzFeed News.

If this is true, this effectively means that 4chan trolled the U.S. intelligence system and the majority of the U.S. media with what’s basically Donald Trump erotic fanfiction, which is terrifying.

CIA and FBI “intelligence” is sheer stupidity

In essence, this means both the CIA and FBI are now assembling “intelligence” dossiers from any source whatsoever, without any regard to the credibility of the source or the authenticity of the information.

It also means the U.S. intelligence community has become a total joke. Its credibility is in rapid collapse. We now know that the entire “Russian hacking” narrative being pushed by the CIA also has zero credibility, because it obviously came from the same dark corners of the intelligence community who just got caught pushing this 4chan “golden showers” fiction as if it were fact.

Finally, we also now know that this completely discredited CIA tag-teams the lying mainstream media to push out totally bogus, fraudulent “facts” and keep repeating them until they are cited as truth by the mentally ill political left.

Keep all this in mind as you navigate the tidal wave of total bulls##t now being peddled by CNN, BuzzFeed, the CIA and even the FBI. As we predicted long ago, the entire corrupt establishment is desperately attempting to destroy Donald Trump by any means necessary. They are failing miserably. And now they’ve been caught scraping the bottom of the barrel with completely fabricated fake news fictions being repacked as “intelligence.”

Dare we call it what it really is? STUPIDITY.

BuzzFeed and CNN are, in every way imaginable, completely FAKE NEWS.

Leftist “tolerance” on display as unhinged liberals call for genocide against whites and attacks on conservative “cripples”

As the unhinged political left continues to unravel into what can only be called sociopathic mental illness, I thought it might be educational to bring you four recent, shocking episodes of left-wing “tolerance” on display.

As you review these, remember that “tolerance” of the left is selectively applied only to those who agree with every important political narrative of liberalism. Anyone who disagrees with the false narratives of the left is targeted for extreme hatred, death threats and now even a call to be exterminated via actual genocide.

This is what happens when the party of “love wins” loses the election: They turn to hatred, violence and deeply rooted desired to literally kill everyone who doesn’t agree with them.

Example #1: Left-wing hate monger attacks Texas Governor Greg Abbot for being a “cripple”

Via Breitbart.com:

A Twitter user attacked Texas Governor Greg Abbott for his religious faith and asked him why God has never helped him walk again.

Abbott has been confined to a wheelchair since July 1984 when a tree fell on him, breaking his back. He was running with a law school friend at the time through a neighborhood in Houston.

The Twitter user, @dschlick, tweeted out “Hey @GregAbbott_TX, since you’re so holy and close to God, when is he going to make you walk again? #crippledgreg #charlatanabbott.”

For the record, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is far more of a courageous man and visionary leader than Obama or any left-winger could ever hope to be. There’s simply no comparison. Gov. Abbott is a man I would be honored to call “President” one day.

Example #2: Left-wing Drexel University professor calls for genocide against whites

Via Breitbart.com:

A professor at Philadelphia’s Drexel University has a heartwarming Christmas message: Associate Professor of Politics and Global Studies George Ciccariello-Maher is wishing for a “white genocide.”

Taking to his Twitter account on Christmas eve, Ciccariello-Maher, himself a white man, tweeted, “All I Want for Christmas is White Genocide” … The professor who describes himself as a “visiting researcher” at El Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales in Mexico also had praise for the “massacre of whites.”

The professor’s Twitter feed is filled with hateful, obnoxious messages, anti-Americanism, slams of President Donald Trump, attacks on Jews, as well as pro-Black Lives Matter and pro-communist sloganeering.

Yes, this is the “love” and “compassion” from the left, demonstrating the “tolerance” for all humankind that we’re told is exclusive to liberals.

Gosh, achieving “diversity” is almost instantaneous if all whites are exterminated in a new left-wing Holocaust, isn’t it? Good thing we have the Second Amendment, I would argue, so that we can defend ourselves against violent left-wing whackos when they try to commit genocide against innocent women and children who happen to be Caucasian.

Example #3: Extreme harassment of a female college student by Clinton supporters causes her to drop out

Via DailyCaller.com:

A freshman student [Andi Moritz] at Bryn Mawr College has dropped out after what she says was unbearable harassment from her fellow students for supporting President-elect Donald Trump.

Moritz told the English House Gazette, a Bryn Mawr student blog, that a low point came when she was approached by a peer mentor in her dorm, who instead of offering support began to vilify her. The peer mentor said Moritz had “personally attacked” other students by expressing support for Trump.

Moritz told Philly.com the response was so hostile she ended up calling a suicide hotline for support. Later, she visited a campus counselor, who she says wasn’t very helpful.

So, according to college student snowflakes, merely supporting Donald Trump is a “personal attack” on the entire student body. Yes, this is how insane and mentally ill the left-wing colleges and universities have become in America. To them, genocide against whites is “good” but supporting a Republican is “an attack” against everyone.

Example #4: Ivanka Trump stalked, harassed on commercial flight by insanely angry left-wing nut job

Via Breitbart.com:

Ivanka, who was with her husband Jared Kushner and three children, was harassed by a male passenger who told her that “Your father is ruining the country,” before declaring that “She should be flying private.”

As the man continued his tirade, he was removed from the flight and could be heard screaming, “You’re kicking me off for expressing my opinion,” as he was taken by security.

The husband of the passenger, Matt Lasner, later took to Twitter to recount the event, where he boasted how his husband was “chasing them down to harass them.”

To summarize the left’s “tolerance,” if you agree with genocide, verbal assaults and extreme threats against “cripples,” then you are “tolerant” (and even progressive)

So now we really get down to the root of liberalism, which is best described at this point as a mental disorder. The most fervent advocates of liberalism are violent, unstable nut jobs, conspiracy theorists and whackos who fake hate crimes against themselves with shocking frequency (nearly every “hate crime” reported by the Huffington Post, MSNBC or CNN later turns out to be a false flag hoax committed by leftists against themselves).

The mass psychosis of the unhinged left stems from the deep linguistic programming of the hypnotic left-wing media which has literally programmed left-wingers into near-Manchurian candidates to be “activated” at any moment against conservatives. To top it all off, left-wing whackos are now convinced that the KKK is everywhere, Russians “hacked” the election, genocide against whites is “diversity,” and chopping up living human babies for organ harvesting is “women’s health.”

The extreme violence, delusional narratives and unbridled hatred now being demonstrated by those on the left isn’t merely amusing; it’s dangerous to society.

Hillary Clinton’s FEMA Fun Camps now have a whole new use under President Trump

I sense we are rapidly approaching the day where We the People are going to have to quite literally institutionalize many of these left-wing nut jobs and subject them to some sort of deprogramming therapy in the hopes of being able to allow them to eventually return to society with their mental faculties restored. Some of them have become so unhinged and completely out of touch with reality that they can no longer function in society without posing a very real threat to the people around them.

Perhaps after January 20, President Trump can help American heal by calling for a nationwide treatment program for delusional, paranoid leftists who have been put into a state of mental derangement by CNN, the NYT, WashPost, MSNBC and left-wing hate spewing political grunts like Michael Moore. A mere 30-day time out from the left-wing media might allow a large number of its victims to finally come to their senses and wake up from their hypnosis programming.

Good thing we already have Hillary Clinton’s “fun camps” built and ready to be put to good use, eh? Now we finally know their greater purpose: Serving as de-hypnosis centers for mentally ill leftists who can no longer function in a democratic society.

Trump-Donald

Electoral voter death threats backfire: Hillary Clinton loses four, Donald Trump wins in an electoral landslide

Donald J. Trump secured a decisive electoral victory this week as electoral voters across the country cast their votes for Trump despite being subjected to a coordinated, well-funded campaign of death threats, stalking, intimidation and strong-arm influence tactics. Yesterday, President-elect Trump achieved an even greater landslide victory than anyone thought possible, clocking in 304 electoral votes (losing just two) while Hillary Clinton was betrayed by four electoral voters from her own party, sliding her down to 228.

The net result is that, despite all the death threats and intimidation attempts, Donald Trump expanded his lead against Hillary Clinton by two more electoral votes, giving him an even greater commanding victory over the defeated Clinton.

Hillary Clinton is a four-time LOSER who represented a party of losers who still can’t accept that they lost

This victory makes Hillary Clinton a four-time loser who lost the 2008 nomination to Barack Obama, lost the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump, lost the 2016 “Jill Stein” recounts, and has now lost the electoral college vote.

No doubt democrats are now going to roll out yet another chapter of delusional insanity by somehow claiming “the Russians rigged the electoral vote!” In reality, it was Soros-funded democrats who mounted an aggressive campaign of social pressure, death threats and delusional conspiracy theories played out across the front pages of the now-discredited Washington Post and New York Times. And still they couldn’t alter the outcome by any meaningful degree.

All the desperate efforts to fabricate false intelligence sources, generate fake news on CNN and whip up mass hysteria across the country failed miserably. They couldn’t even steal away enough electoral votes to drop Donald Trump below 300, much less push him below 270, which was their goal.

Everything on the left is either fabricated or rigged… and now the real truth is finally coming out

The Trump victory is now locked in, despite the ludicrous claims of a radical left-wing law professor who was widely quoted in the media, claiming “as many as twenty faithless electors” would dump Donald Trump. Remember, these are the same delusional leftists who, before the election, almost universally proclaimed Hillary Clinton would be the landslide winner because she was winning in all the polls (which we knew all along were completely fabricated).

It’s all the same pattern, of course: Rigged elections, faked polls, fabricated news reports, rigged debates, staged town hall questions, knowingly falsified predictions and a lame attempt to shape the outcome of political events by controlling the narrative. Now that they’ve lost control of the narrative, they’re rolling out “fake news” accusations backed by Facebook censorship systems that will only cause tens of millions of people to ditch Facebook and go somewhere else for their news.

(Hint: I’m launching a “Censored News” website in just a few days that will carry all the real-time headlines from all the main news websites censored by Facebook and Google. It will become the new portal for all the millions of people who are leaving Facebook and ditching Google News.)

The unhinged left is losing everything… and now they’ve lost their minds to boot

Since the Nov. 8 election, the unhinged left has lost almost everything. They lost the White House, the House and the Senate. They’ll lose the Supreme Court as Trump picks new justices, too. They’ve lost state legislatures, governorships and mayors. They’ve lost the recounts and now the electoral college votes, too. All along the way, people on the left have simultaneously been losing their minds, either acting like whiny little six-year-olds or emotionally investing themselves in utterly fabricated delusional conspiracy theories involving the Russians. But they made it all up themselves! The radical left has achieved nothing other than demonstrating a kind of twisted of self-traumatization.

Even worse — and this is only now becoming apparent to people — the unhinged left has lost its credibility.

Leftists are now synonymous with “conspiracy theorist” tin foil hat wearing nut jobs. Left-wing media has become synonymous with “fabricated news.” Left-wing political analysts have all been made into complete fools, including the one-time darling of political prognosticators, Nate Silver.

The left has lost its voter base, lost its political future, lost its “leaders” (it’s over for Hillary) and lost its way. That’s all because democrats became too arrogant, too corrupt, too delusional and too smug for the rest of America to tolerate any longer. While the democrat elite were sipping lattes and sunning on the beaches, congratulating themselves for the election victory they were certain they’d already sufficiently rigged with fraudulent votes, Donald Trump was working the campaign trail, strategically investing his resources to attain the electoral college victory that determines the winner of the presidential election.

That’s why Donald Trump won. He’s smarter, he’s tougher, he’s more dedicated and he’s a far more diligent worker than Hillary Clinton could even dare to ever become. Donald Trump didn’t need the Russians; he’s got the kind of personal fortitude and determination that comes from running your own successful businesses decade after decade. Trump survived in the real world… the unforgiving world of relentless competition where only the strong survive. Hillary Clinton wouldn’t know anything about that: She’s been coddled and given endless unfair advantages all her life; by the media, the delegates, fundraisers, the intelligent community and more. She never really had to work to attain power, so she became lazy and arrogant.

Political Darwinism: How leftists became lazy, stupid and arrogant

Democrats are weak because life has been too easy for them. They’ve never had to compete in the real world. They’ve never had to really work for anything. They live on either low-income handouts or high-dollar “cronyism” handouts from their government friends. This has made democrats lazy and stupid, all while independent-minded people like Trump became increasingly sharp, efficient and masterful in their command of large organizations.

I call it “political Darwinism.” It simply means that people who have to succeed in the real world end up learning to adapt and overcome, while those people who have had political success handed to them without any real effort end up becoming lazy, privileged, arrogant and extinct. Hillary Clinton’s election loss wasn’t due to the Russians… it was due to “natural selection” that is removing losing leftists from the “political gene pool.”

And that’s exactly the way it should be. Liberals are losers precisely because their ideas don’t work. Their “beliefs” are rooted more in cultism and fiction than anything resembling reality. Their tactics of disruption, death threats and censorship are truly abhorrent. They deserve no political power whatsoever in America, and I wouldn’t lose a bit of sleep if the entire democrat party just disbanded and retreated to the history archives of failed ideas.

We don’t need democrats any longer to Make America Great Again. In fact, all we really need is to democrats to get out of the way and let the adults in this country start healing, rebuilding and restructuring this economic nightmare that Obama almost completely destroyed over the last eight years.

I suggest that all leftists who are still whining and crying for mommy surrender your U.S. passport and move to Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea or Communist China, where you’ll feel right at home. From now forward, America belongs to the patriots… the mature adults… the real men and women who have no more time to deal with crybabies, snowflakes and gender-confused social engineers. All you crybabies go home, sip your hot cocoa and play with your Play-Doh… leave the rebuilding of America to the real-world conservatives and libertarians who actually know how to get things done.

‘Hamilton Electors’ plan to strip presidency from Trump

A group calling itself the “Hamilton Electors” has called for members of the Electoral College to pick a “consensus candidate” to replace president-elect Donald Trump.

The Electoral College meets on December 19 to decide on the president.

Hillary Clinton registered 64,654,483 total votes, compared to 62,418,820 for Trump, according to a Cook Political Report analysis, the International Business Times reports. If the report is accurate, the numbers represent a margin of 2,235,663 in the popular vote for the former secretary of state.

Washington State Democratic elector Levi Guerra told The Olympian Trump is a “demagogue.” She believes “that there are Republican leaders out there that the whole country can unify behind.”

Bret Chiafalo is the leader of the Hamilton Electors. He claims that blocking Trump is a “moral imperative.” Chiafalo cites Trump’s campaign rhetoric on immigrants and Muslims and his appointment of Steven Bannon as a senior advisor. The establishment press and Democrats describe Bannon, who formerly ran Breitbart News, as a white nationalist.

Chiafalo suggested Ohio Gov. John Kasich, former Secretary of State Colin Powell and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg as possible alternative candidates.

The Hamilton Electors and others opposed to the election result are attempting to persuade enough Democratic and Republican electors to unite behind a third candidate. They hope to strip Trump of the 270 votes required for the presidency. In that case, the decision would be left up to the House of Representatives.

The Hamilton Electors are part of a larger effort to disqualify Trump and ultimately dump the Electoral College. The Electoral College was first proposed by Alexander Hamilton, and was approved by the Constitutional Convention on September 6, 1787.

Democrats say that they have formed a coalition of lawyers prepared to defend, pro bono, any electors who vote to oppose Trump.

“I have always believed we should have a national popular vote. That’s been my position now for decades,” Colorado’s Polly Baca told Politico.

HuffPost editor jokes about destroying Trump ballots; FBI investigates

It is a classic leftist move to go back on your word and then pretend that you were joking the entire time in order to avoid negative repercussions. This is what they have been doing for decades now. They are lying weasels that will do whatever they can in order to avoid paying the consequences of their actions, which is why the Democratic Party is in shambles.

Nick Baumann, senior enterprise editor for the Huffington Post, recently tweeted that he had destroyed Trump ballots at a polling place in New York City, then immediately retracted the statement after the FBI contacted him. He claims that it was all a joke, but can we really believe that at this point?

Baumann reports that an FBI agent called him to ask about the tweet and stated, “The reason I’m calling is — I can’t give you too many details over the phone — we recently received some complaints regarding some online postings that were made. I don’t know if you know what that’s in reference to, but would you be willing to sit down with us for a couple minutes tomorrow morning by chance?”

Considering the fact that the Huffington Post was one of the most anti-Trump, pro-Hillary publications present during the 2016 presidential election – which is saying a whole lot, since virtually every mainstream media outlet voiced hatred for Trump – there is reason not to pass Baumann’s statement off as a joke. This has been a year filled with unpredictable travesties at every available turn, so would we really be surprised to learn that the editor of a leftist news outlet tried to commit voter fraud? I doubt it.

So if Baumann is telling the truth and he didn’t actually tamper with ballots at his respective polling place, we still shouldn’t blame the FBI for investigating. There was so much riding on this election, and after all the reports of potential voter fraud, it would be gross negligence to not at least investigate such a serious accusation. But to pass off the entire situation as something that is completely silly is, in reality, completely silly.

This is what the Regressive Left deserves, though. They have been making a huge deal out of everything for years now, so it is only fitting that the FBI has made a huge deal out of something that a leftist journalist wrote online. Good riddance, folks. Good riddance indeed. …

Trump is condemned for talking to liberty-loving Taiwan President… but Obama cozied up with dictators

On Sunday, ABC program “This Week” was commenting on the controversy regarding a phone call between Donald Trump and Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen. Mike Pence said it was mystifying that Obama could have talks with Cuban dictator Raul Castro and be hailed a hero. So essentially there is nothing wrong with Obama talking to brutal dictators, but when Trump does the same outrage ensues.

Pence said that they will deal with policy issues after January 20th, when the duo are officially in the White House. The phone call from Taiwan’s leader was a courtesy call. American’s should appreciate the fact that Trump is taking calls and reaching out to the rest of the world in preparation to lead America.

Cuba isn’t the only example of Obama talking to brutal dictators. In late July Obama went to Cairo, Egypt to meet with brutally repressive President, General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. The spectacle was a triumph that symbolized the General’s militaristic powers in Egypt, and a victory over the American president who had tried to punish him prior to surrendering to the harsh realities of geopolitics. Obama was appalled after a massacre where some one thousand pro-Morsi protesters were gunned down. “We can’t return to business as usual” Obama continued, “We have to be very careful about being seen as aiding and abetting actions that we think run contrary to our values and ideals.”

Donald Trump’s talk with Taiwan’s leader was more brilliant then it was a blunder. The deliberate move was carefully planned and Trump received a full briefing prior to the call. Trump was notifying China that they are dealing with a different kind of president. Trump is an outsider who won’t be encumbered by diplomatic threads that have restrained prior administrations. The message sent was that Trump will talk to whomever he wants if he feels it is in the best interest of the United States. Nobody in China gets to dictate who the new US leader can and can’t talk to.

If China somehow missed Trump’s message, he reinforced it via tweet on Sunday. “Did China ask us if it was OK to devalue their currency (making it hard for our companies to compete), heavily tax our products going into their country (the U.S. doesn’t tax them) or to build a massive military complex in the middle of the South China Sea? I don’t think so!” Trump promised throughout his campaign that he would take a tougher stance with China.

Will President Trump dismantle dangerous vaccine mandates that harm children across America?

When it comes to vaccine mandates, it remains to be seen if President-elect Donald Trump’s vow to make America great again also includes making America healthy again. In short, will he use the power of his office to try to protect heath freedom by reining in mandatory inoculations?

If so, it will require some serious swamp draining. The entire institutionalized regulatory establishment in the form of The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and its and international and state counterparts are aggressive proponents of mandatory vaccination, including a no-exception policy for families.

Abolishing vaccine mandates could be on the Trump agenda. As far as health-related reforms, however, the repeal and replace of Obamacare (otherwise known as the profoundly misnamed Affordable Care Act) is expected to be one of the first orders of business for Trump and the Congress. That will require some heavy lifting.

If you dislike your vaccine, do you have to keep it?

Even raising the possibility of the toxic side effects, and/or merely having an open mind about  vaccines, has prompted outrage (faux or otherwise) from the media and its approved array of experts, perhaps because of the all advertising money it rakes in from Big Pharma. According to the media echo chamber, no scientific evidence exists that vaccines, for example, cause autism.

You may recall during the September 16, 2015, nationally televised GOP presidential debate that CNN tried to push Trump into the full-on anti-vaxxer camp. Citing the example of an employee whose vaccinated newborn wound up with autism, Trump mentioned that doses should be administered over a two- or three-year period rather than all at once.

To the horror of the conventional-wisdom-obsessed media (the same folks who assured the U.S. and the world that Hillary Clinton was a lock to win the presidency), then-candidates Ben Carson and Rand Paul, both of whom are medical doctors, agreed with Trump on the same national stage that vaccinations should be given incrementally.

Even Green Party candidate Jill Stein of recount fame, an MD herself, had to backpedal furiously in August after seemingly equivocating on vaccine safety.

Democrat Hillary Clinton, the recipient of more campaign donations from drug companies than any other candidate in the 2016 election cycle, is an advocate of mandatory vaccinations.

Over the years, Trump’s Twitter feed raised questions about how vaccinations are administered by the medical community. “I’m not against vaccinations for your children, I’m against them in 1 massive dose. Spread them out over a period of time & autism will drop!” he tweeted in September 2014.

A 1905 U.S. Supreme Court case, Jacobson v. Massachusetts, established the legal precedent for mandatory vaccinations, when a Cambridge clergyman unsuccessfully objected to a law that required him to get a second smallpox vaccination after a bad reaction the first time around. Reasonable health regulations generally fall under the so-called police power of the government, in which courts tend to give substantial deference. “It is within the police power of a State to enact a compulsory vaccination law, and it is for the legislature, and not for the courts, to determine…The matured opinions of medical men everywhere, and the experience of mankind, as all must know, negative the suggestion that it is not possible in any case to determine whether vaccination is safe,” the majority opinion declared.

Because of the untimely death of Justice Scalia, one vacancy exists on the Supreme Court, which is split 4-4 (roughly) between conservatives and liberals.  It will be interesting to see if Trump nominates a health freedom supporter from among the 21 potential picks that he released during the campaign and thereby perhaps revisit the 100-plus year old ruling.

Jill Stein

Why Jill Stein’s voter recount is preposterous, won’t change anything for Hillary

Jill Stein just won’t go away. The totally irrelevant Green Party presidential candidate has been a massive headache for everyone in the media and beyond. We all hoped that whenever she lost the election that she would go away peacefully. Following the results of the election, though, Stein became more outspoken than ever and hasn’t shut up since. While it is usually easy to ignore her normal idiotic comments, it isn’t nearly as easy when the mainstream media picks up on it and actually begins taking her seriously.

Amid late-term accusations of voter fraud costing Hillary Clinton the election, Stein has found a way to keep herself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Instead of getting behind one of her many crackpot theories about the way the world should work, Stein has now made it her goal in life to ensure that Donald Trump will not be inaugurated. While it seems incredibly unlikely that this will happen, it is frustrating that she is even trying to make it happen.

After all, it seems it is a complete waste of time.

The Daily Sheeple reports, “If the electoral college process fails to select a President then the election would be left in the hands of Congress to decide. Given that the Senate and House are both controlled by Republicans, in theory they would then choose Trump/Pence, though in this election cycle nothing is a certainty. Moreover, even if Trump/Pence are chosen, the whole process of being appointed by Congress, combined with a loss of the popular vote, would then cast a dark shadow over their administration.”

Even worse than the logistics of it all is the fact that Stein has been raising money for the recount shows just how corrupt she is. Much like Bernie Sanders did, it appears as though Stein is trying to swindle her supporters by asking for donations to achieve a specific goal. If Stein ends up taking the money she makes off of this bogus recount and uses it to purchase a massive vacation home, she will have made a full transition just like Sanders.

Like all of the socialists and communists of the world, it is inevitable that Sanders and Stein will realize that having money is a good thing and that all of their beliefs are completely ridiculous and have no chance of working in the real world — much like socialists themselves.

Until then, we will all have to deal with the threat of a vote recount to keep us annoyed.
