i am assuming you are a pacifist or whatever you want to call it according to the current
popular terminology.
most pacifists are very big hypocrites. they are not willing to fight for the rights they
demand but are the first in line to take advantage of those rights.
most wars fought in the name of USA are a matter of preserving our GOD given rights and
self protection. i do agree that there are also many wars fought in the name of greed. In a world filled with evil people, sometimes war is necessary to prevent even greater evil. If Hitler had not been defeated by World War II, how many more millions would have been killed? If the American Civil War had not been fought, how much longer would African-Americans have had to suffer as slaves? War is a terrible thing. Some wars are more “just” than others, but war is always a result of sin....imo

Amy Bleuel, Founder of Project Semicolon, Passes Away at 31
Amy Bleuel, known in the mental health community as the person behind the popular semicolon tattoo, passed away on Thursday, March 23 at the age of 31, Project Semicolon confirmed to The Mighty on Wednesday.
Update March 30 8:45 a.m. PST: The Mighty has confirmed Amy died by suicide. Please when reporting on this story, refer to Recommendations for Reporting on Suicide. For whoever needs help right now, you can contact the Crisis Text Line by texting “START” to 741-741, or call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
If you see a semicolon as more than just punctuation, you probably know Amy. Her movement, called Project Semicolon, is a global nonprofit dedicated to presenting hope and love for those who are struggling with mental illness, suicide, addiction and self-injury.
She told The Mighty in 2015, “In literature, an author uses a semicolon to not end a sentence but to continue on. We see it as you are the author and your life is the sentence. You’re choosing to keep going.”
The semicolon manifested in both drawings and tattoos and quickly became a sign of hope for those who struggled with self-harm and suicidal thoughts.
In The Mighty community, people have written about their semicolon tattoos, and again and again we would see semicolon tattoos in the pictures people share with us:

Poor assumption. I have no issues with defensive force. That said, one does not use defensive force on foreign soil. That's called warmongering.
Do you really believe the Civil War was fought to free the slaves?

Executive Mansion,
Washington, August 22, 1862.
Hon. Horace Greeley:
Dear Sir.
I have just read yours of the 19th. addressed to myself through the New-York Tribune. If there be in it any statements, or assumptions of fact, which I may know to be erroneous, I do not, now and here, controvert them. If there be in it any inferences which I may believe to be falsely drawn, I do not now and here, argue against them. If there be perceptable in it an impatient and dictatorial tone, I waive it in deference to an old friend, whose heart I have always supposed to be right.
As to the policy I "seem to be pursuing" as you say, I have not meant to leave any one in doubt.
I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be "the Union as it was." If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.
I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men every where could be free.
Yours,
A. Lincoln.

Moms declare holy war after school teaches Islam 'true faith'
Women pilloried as 'KKK' for going public with lesson concerns
Published: 2 hours ago. Updated: 03/31/2017 at 2:11 PM
Leo Hohmann is a news editor for WND. He has been a reporter and editor at several suburban newspapers in the Atlanta and Charlotte, North Carolina, areas and also served as managing editor of Triangle Business Journal in Raleigh, North Carolina. His latest book is "Stealth Invasion: Muslim Conquest Through Immigration And Resettlement Jihad."
Scene from the 5-minute film shown to 6th and 7th grade students as part of the core standards in New Jersey and other states.
Here’s excerpts from the video:
5 Pillars of Islam - part 1 | Cartoon by Discover Islam UK
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hW3hH9_7pI
https://youtu.be/9hW3hH9_7pI
This is the first part in the series of cartoon animations created and produced by Discover Islam UK with the aim of assisting Primary Schools in educating children about Islam through the use of educational media. This cartoon animation has been played throughout many Primary Schools in London and was very well recieved by both pupils and teaching staff.
A middle school in Chatham, New Jersey, is using a cartoon video to teach the Five Pillars of Islam to seventh-grade students, and now two parents have obtained legal services to fight the school district which has ignored their concerns.
Seventh graders in this school are taught: “May God help us all find the true faith, Islam.”
Also taught in the video is the Shahada, which is the Muslim prayer of conversion “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.”
The parents say no other religion is taught nearly to this level of detail in the “world cultures and geography” class.
The parents wanted to know who picked the curriculum, who picked the video and the accompanying PowerPoint. None of their concerns have been addressed by the school board or the superintendent.
So, the two mothers have retained legal help from the Ann Arbor, Michigan-based Thomas More Law Center.
For speaking out, the moms have been attacked by members of their community. Their crime: appearing on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” to voice concerns about Islamic indoctrination of Chatham Middle School seventh graders.
“To me that’s not education because in order to educate you need to teach about all [religions],” said Libby Hilsenrath, one of the two mothers who is pushing back against the class curriculum, in an interview with Carlson.
“Would they be comfortable teaching the doctrines of Christianity for example. Would you be comfortable in a public school to say ‘Jesus is the way and the truth and the life and no one comes to [the Father] except through me’? I don’t think so,” she said.
“I’m all in favor of teaching religion if it’s all done in the same manner and with the same depth,” added the other mother, Nancy Gayer.
The teaching is part of New Jersey’s core content standards.
Yet, for their common-sense objections to the video, the parents were immediately denounced by other parents and school officials as bigots, xenophobic and Islamophobic. The sensational attacks came in a newspaper op-ed, in social media, and even took the form of being ‘stared down’ at the local grocery store, they said.
“It went as far as we were ‘part of the KKK,’ which I don’t know what that has to do with this,” Hilsenrath said.
“The promotion of Islam is worse than what the mothers presented to Tucker Carlson,” said Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Law Center. “After viewing one of the videos which the seventh graders were directed to watch, I can’t imagine any objective person saying this is not Islamic indoctrination.
“Clueless school administrators across our nation are allowing this type of indoctrination to take place and it’s up to vigilant parents to stop it,” he added. “Libby and Nancy should have been praised, not pilloried.”
Concerned parents get brushed off
Hilsenrath and Gayer, with sons in different classes in the seventh grade, explained their concerns in person to the Chatham Board of Education at their Feb. 6, 2017, public meeting. Superintendent Michael LaSusa indicated that any change to the curriculum was unlikely, and the next day also refused their request to meet privately with him to discuss their concerns.
Thompson said students were shown the subtle propaganda cartoon video, “5 Pillars,” which opens with two boys, one of them a Muslim, kicking a soccer ball.
The Muslim boy teaches the non-Muslim the 5 Pillars of Islam. Then, a subtitle of bright, multi-colored words of various shapes pronounces a form of the Islamic conversion creed: “There is no god except Allah and Prophet Muhammad is His messenger.”
The cartoon ends with a sad non-Muslim boy, who suddenly smiles when the Muslim boy invites him to join him at the mosque for noon-day prayers. That is “Something the teacher can’t personally do, but does through the cartoon. Clever!” says Thompson.

Man running to be first Muslim governor in the U.S.
by Tracy Matheson/ March 31, 2017/ POLITICS
An Egyptian-American doctor could become the United States’ first Muslim governor if he is elected in 2018.
Abdul El-Sayed, 32, a Rhodes scholar, was appointed as executive director of the Detroit Department of Health & Wellness Promotion in 2015. El-Sayed recently resigned from his post to run his gubernatorial campaign in Michigan.
If elected, he would face the major water and economic crises in Detroit and Flint, the two poorest cities in the country.
El-Sayed has officially announced his campaign, claiming that the time to act is now and that Michigan’s shared future is what unites its people.
The would-be governor said his focus “is, has always been, and always will be people, their opportunities, their passions, their perspectives. The things that we can do for them, together”
“My work has always been about building and leading the kinds of institutions that create opportunity for real people by breaking down barriers they face,” he said. “That work has never been more important than it is today. The politics of fear and hatred threaten to divide us.”
During a speech to a crowd at Detroit’s Eastern Market, El-Sayed said that some people believe they can make the country great again by claiming that people who “look like me” do not belong here and that they should not get involved.
“We are not sitting on the sidelines,” he said. “We must act. We cannot wait until our children are poisoned or their schools are shut down.”
El-Sayed, who holds a doctorate in public health, is known in Detroit as a strong leader in the fight for environmental justice. He has noted that his platform will reflect his values of equity and inclusion.
According to El-Sayed, his decision to run was influenced by concerns over state leadership following the lead-tainted water crisis in Flint, as well as policies being implemented in Washington, D.C., under President Trump.
El-Sayed is not a fan of Trump, and claims citizens of his state are having “buyer’s remorse.” In a separate interview, he claimed that Trump’s decisions “are at odds with deeply held American values, and distractions from real issues.”

war is very rarely about one single thing, but more often is a result of a multitude of
aggravating issues that culminate in such rising up of the down trodden. i think you
missed the issue here in honest Abe's underlying tone of 'states rights', which so
interestingly is at issue today on several ideals. he did not wish to be a dictator
but a leader.
and btw....
defensive force on foreign soil???
that would depend greatly on what alliances are formed between nations or powers.
now i would agree that invasion of sovereign nations for power and other personal gain
is warmongering....imo.
i cant even pretend to understand but i do know one thing...
men are very egotistical, and men in powerful positions are even more so.
this discussion is waaaaaaaaaaay beyond my pay grade

"Clearly, seventh graders had been presented with a sugarcoated, false depiction of Islam. They had not been informed of the kidnappings, beheadings, slave-trading, massacres, and persecution of non-Muslims, nor of the repression of women — all done in the name of Islam and the Koran."
Middle School Mothers with Objections to Islamic Curriculum Hire Law Firm
by Michael Patrick Leahy 30 Mar 2017
Two mothers of seventh graders who attend Chatham Middle School in New Jersey have hired the Thomas More Law Center, a public interest law firm, after their legitimate objections to pro-Islamic curriculum in their children’s classes have resulted in personal and social media attacks upon them within their community.
“Their crime: appearing on Fox TV’s Tucker Carlson Show to voice concerns about Islamic indoctrination of Chatham Middle School seventh graders,” the Thomas More Law Center said in a press release on Thursday.
“Libby Hilsenrath and Nancy Gayer were subjected to personal attacks throughout their campaign to stop Islamic indoctrination at the Chatham Middle School. They were defamed as “bigots” and “Islamophobes”, “hateful”, “ignorant”, “xenophobes”, “intolerant”, “racist”, “closed minded”, “sad and ignorant” in social media, and the list goes on. The attacks significantly intensified after their appearance on the Tucker Carlson Show,” the statement continued:
Libby Hilsenrath and Nancy Gayer, with sons in different classes in the seventh grade, [first] detailed their concerns in person to the Chatham Board of Education at their February 6, 2017 public meeting.
Superintendent Michael LaSusa indicated that any change to the curriculum was unlikely, and the next day also refused their request to meet privately with him to discuss their concerns.
“The promotion of Islam is worse than what the mothers presented to Tucker Carlson,” Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center said.
“After viewing one of the videos which the seventh graders were directed to watch, I can’t imagine any objective person saying this is not Islamic indoctrination. Clueless school administrators across our nation are allowing this type of indoctrination to take place and it’s up to vigilant parents to stop it. Libby and Nancy should have been praised, not pilloried,” Thompson added.
“Students had been shown a subtle propaganda cartoon video, 5 Pillars, which opens with two boys, one of them a Muslim, kicking a soccer ball,” the statement said, adding:
The Muslim teaches the non-Muslim the 5 Pillars of Islam. Additionally, a subtitle of bright, multi-colored words of various shapes pronounces a form of the Islamic conversion creed: “There is no god except Allah and Prophet Muhammad is His messenger.” The cartoon ends with a sad non-Muslim boy, who suddenly smiles when the Muslim boy invites him to join him at the mosque for noon-day prayers....
“It’s just not fair that within this unit of study the Chatham school district taught one religion to the exclusion of all others, and for the community to be so unkind and unwelcoming towards us, just for having raised legitimate questions as concerned parents,” Gayer said.
“One of my fundamental obligations as a parent is to guide the religious and secular education of my children. That’s why I will continue the fight against the Islamic indoctrination now taking place at Chatham, regardless of the personal attacks,” Hilsenrath added.
“Libby Hilsenrath and Nancy Gayer asked the board to review the curriculum and requested that either the Islam lessons be removed or that the school spend equal time on the study of Christianity,” the statement concluded.

State Department Employee Arrested and Charged With Concealing Extensive Contacts With Foreign Agents
A federal complaint was unsealed today charging Candace Marie Claiborne, 60, of Washington, D.C., and an employee of the U.S. Department of State, with obstructing an official proceeding and making false statements to the FBI, both felony offenses, for allegedly concealing numerous contacts that she had over a period of years with foreign intelligence agents.
The charges were announced by Acting Assistant Attorney General Mary B. McCord for National Security, U.S. Attorney Channing D. Phillips of the District of Columbia and Assistant Director in Charge Andrew W. Vale of the FBI’s Washington Field Office.
“Candace Marie Claiborne is a U.S. State Department employee who possesses a Top Secret security clearance and allegedly failed to report her contacts with Chinese foreign intelligence agents who provided her with thousands of dollars of gifts and benefits,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General McCord. “Claiborne used her position and her access to sensitive diplomatic data for personal profit. Pursuing those who imperil our national security for personal gain will remain a key priority of the National Security Division.”
“Candace Claiborne is charged with obstructing an official proceeding and making false statements in connection with her alleged concealment and failure to report her improper connections to foreign contacts along with the tens of thousands of dollars in gifts and benefits they provided,” said U.S. Attorney Phillips. “As a State Department employee with a Top Secret clearance, she received training and briefing about the need for caution and transparency. This case demonstrates that U.S. government employees will be held accountable for failing to honor the trust placed in them when they take on such sensitive assignments”
“Candace Claiborne is accused of violating her oath of office as a State Department employee, who was entrusted with Top Secret information when she purposefully mislead federal investigators about her significant and repeated interactions with foreign contacts," said Assistant Director in Charge Vale. "The FBI will continue to investigate individuals who, though required by law, fail to report foreign contacts, which is a key indicator of potential insider threats posed by those in positions of public trust.”
The FBI arrested Claiborne on March 28. She made her first appearance this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
According to the affidavit in support of the complaint and arrest warrant, which was unsealed today, Claiborne began working as an Office Management Specialist for the Department of State in 1999. She has served overseas at a number of posts, including embassies and consulates in Baghdad, Iraq, Khartoum, Sudan, and Beijing and Shanghai, China. As a condition of her employment, Claiborne maintains a Top Secret security clearance. Claiborne also is required to report any contacts with persons suspected of affiliation with a foreign intelligence agency.
Despite such a requirement, the affidavit alleges, Claiborne failed to report repeated contacts with two intelligence agents of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), even though these agents provided tens of thousands of dollars in gifts and benefits to Claiborne and her family over five years. According to the affidavit, the gifts and benefits included cash wired to Claiborne’s USAA account, an Apple iPhone and laptop computer, Chinese New Year’s gifts, meals, international travel and vacations, tuition at a Chinese fashion school, a fully furnished apartment, and a monthly stipend. Some of these gifts and benefits were provided directly to Claiborne, the affidavit alleges, while others were provided through a co-conspirator.
According to the affidavit, Claiborne noted in her journal that she could “Generate 20k in 1 year” working with one of the PRC agents, who, shortly after wiring $2,480 to Claiborne, tasked her with providing internal U.S. Government analyses on a U.S.-Sino Strategic Economic Dialogue that had just concluded.
Claiborne, who allegedly confided to a co-conspirator that the PRC agents were “spies,” willfully misled State Department background investigators and FBI investigators about her contacts with those agents, the affidavit states. After the State Department and FBI investigators contacted her, Claiborne also instructed her co-conspirators to delete evidence connecting her to the PRC agents, the affidavit alleges.
Charges contained in a criminal complaint are merely allegations, and every defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
The maximum penalty for a person convicted of obstructing an official proceeding is 20 years in prison. The maximum penalty for making false statements to the FBI is five years in prison. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes. If convicted of any offense, the sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the court based on the advisory Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
At her court appearance today, Claiborne pleaded not guilty before the Honorable Magistrate Judge Robin M. Meriweather. A preliminary hearing was set for April 18.
The FBI’s Washington Field Office is leading the investigation into this matter. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys John L. Hill and Thomas A. Gillice for the District of Columbia and Trial Attorney Julie Edelstein of the National Security Division’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section.

Coffee shop offers cards which mock-shoot President Trump
March 31, 2017
A coffee shop has begun offering cards which are designed to show President Trump and other conservative leaders being shot in the head
(VERO BEACH, FLA) Last week Pittsburgh based Black Forge Coffee House began issuing a 10-count loyalty card to customers featuring the faces of President Trump, Vice President Pence, and eight other conservative leaders.
In their announcement post on Facebook, Black Forge Coffee House wrote, “buy a drink, take out a scumbag, and be that much closer to a free coffee!”
Black Forge Coffee House co-owner Nick Miller told Fox News reporter Michelle Chavez that the cards are designed to look like a shot in the head when the card is punched after the customer buys a coffee.
The current card includes President Donald Trump, Former Pennsylvania US Senator Rick Santorum, conservative writer Ann Coulter, Vice President Mike Pence, pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli, televangelist Pat Robertson, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and Texas US Senator Ted Cruz.
Black Forge Coffee House co-owner Ashley Corts told Chavez in an interview the card is just meant to ‘poke fun’ at President Trump and other public figures they dislike, and that she's had the loyalty cards since 2015 and only recently updated the cards to include the commander-in-chief.
"We’re not threatening the president," Corts said. "We don’t want to physically hurt him, we do not condone any sort of hate. It’s completely against who we are."
Prior to the 2016 election the cards included The Blaze CEO Glenn Beck, televangelists Creflo Dollar and Jerry Falwell, and evangelical Christian evangelist Billy Graham.
Black Forge Coffee House is located directly adjacent to the headquarters of Pittsburgh Police Zone 3, and has previously hosted “Coffee With a Cop” programs, which foster communication between neighborhood residents and police.
Corts claims that the officers who regularly frequent her shop have found the cards ‘amusing’.
Though thousands have added negative reviews on Black Forge’s Yelp and social media accounts, Corts told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that since the initial WPXI-TV report, not only have local police continued their support but “sales have skyrocketed.”
“It’s more overwhelming on a positive side then negative,” Ms. Corts said. “Our sales have skyrocketed. We’ve had hundreds of people come in to show support.”

Harry Reid To Intel Community: Give Donald Trump Fake Briefings
“This man is dangerous.”
By Ryan Grim , Sam Stein
PHILADELPHIA ? Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is advising intelligence officials that if they end up giving GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump classified briefings during the campaign, they should just fake it and make sure not to divulge anything important.
“How would the CIA and the other intelligence agencies brief this guy? How could they do that? I would suggest to the intelligence agencies, if you’re forced to brief this guy, don’t tell him anything, just fake it, because this man is dangerous,” Reid said in an interview with The Huffington Post Wednesday afternoon. “Fake it, pretend you’re doing a briefing, but you can’t give the guy any information.”
“This guy, he’s part of a foreign power,” Reid continued. “We knew he liked Putin before this, but this is quite ridiculous.”
Intelligence officials are becoming increasingly convinced that the hack of the Democratic National Committee and subsequent release of DNC emails was the work of the Russian government, with the goal of undermining Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and boosting her rival, Trump. Trump on Wednesday called on Russia to release any additional emails they have from Clinton ? actively inviting a foreign power to intervene in a U.S. election.
Reid wouldn’t call the comments “treason,” leaving the characterizations to others. But, referencing his nearly half a century in politics, he proclaimed: “I’ve never seen anything like Donald Trump.” The scale of the cybercrime and the possibility of it being done at the behest of a presidential candidate, he added, could wind up being worse than Watergate.
“I think Watergate was something that people understood. It was wrong, morally wrong, for the president of the United States to be involved in such trivia,” he said. “What Trump is talking about is much worse than Watergate. Absolutely.”
This will now be the second time that congressional leaders have encouraged intelligence agencies to either fake or suspend briefings for a prospective presidential candidate. Last month, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) requested that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence cut off Clinton over revelations that she had been careless in her handling of classified information related to her use of a private email account. DNI Head James Clapper denied the request.
At the Democratic convention in Philadelphia this week, donors have been panicking about WikiLeaks’ promises that more is to come. Speculation that the DNC is only the tip of the hacked iceberg is rampant.
Perhaps Trump, Reid suggested, could find out how extensive the damage is.
“I guess the only way we can find out is perhaps Donald can call Putin and say, ‘what else do you have?’” Reid said.
“We know there are connections between Putin and Trump. How do we know that? He said so. And I’ve never heard Putin deny it. In fact, he has done just the opposite.”
Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ? 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ? from entering the U.S.

2016 Election
Harry Reid Wants Donald Trump to Get Fake Intelligence Briefings (minus the editorial)
Katie Reilly
Jul 28, 2016
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid implored intelligence officials tasked with giving classified briefings to Donald Trump during the presidential campaign not to actually divulge important information.
“How would the CIA and the other intelligence agencies brief this guy? How could they do that? I would suggest to the intelligence agencies, if you’re forced to brief this guy, don’t tell him anything, just fake it, because this man is dangerous,” Reid told the Huffington Post. “Fake it, pretend you’re doing a briefing, but you can’t give the guy any information.”
Reid said Trump's comments encouraging Russia to hack into Hillary Clinton's emails were "much worse than Watergate."
This isn't the first time Reid has been outspoken in targeting a Republican presidential nominee. In 2012, he famously speculated on the Senate floor that Mitt Romney hadn't paid any taxes in 10 years.
The topic of withholding confidential briefings has come up before during this presidential campaign. Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan formally requested that Clinton not receive classified information from the government while she's a candidate. His request came after FBI Director James Comey criticized Clinton and her aides for being "extremely careless" in handling classified information while she used a private email server as Secretary of State.

Montana Democrats Vote Against Bill Banning Sharia Law, Call It ‘Repugnant’
by Ben Kew31 Mar 2017
Democrats in Montana have opposed a bill banning the use of foreign law in its state courts on the grounds that such legislation would target Muslims.
Senate Bill 97, introduced by Keith Regier (R-Kalispell) bans the application of foreign law in Montana’s courts, with the debate particularly focused on Sharia Law, a form of Islamic law typically used in the Middle East.
Although the bill passed on party lines by 56-44, Democrats claimed it was designed to target Muslim communities.
“I think it sends a dangerous message to minority groups both here living in our state and wanting to come visit our state, just merely on the fact that you may be different,” said Rep. Shane Morigeau, D-Missoula, while debating the bill. “I truly believe this law is repugnant. I believe this is not who we are as Montanans.”
Meanwhile, Rep. Ellie Hill Smith (D-Missoula) proposed a failed amendment to the bill to include a ban on both Sharia Law and the Law of Moses, in order to “show the state of Montana that it is not just about Islamic Law.”
“The courts have said that laws that single out certain religions violate the First Amendment,” Smith said, claiming that it was “peppered with anti-Muslim bigotry.”
Another Democrat, Rep. Laurie Bishop (D-Livingston) urged legislators “not to forget the roots of this bill,” adding that “our children are watching.”
Meanwhile, Rep. Brad Tschida (R-Missoula) said the bill was an attempt to push back against a “constitution [that] is constantly under assault.”
Bills specifically targeting Sharia Law have passed in states such as North Carolina, Alabama, Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana, South Dakota, and Tennessee. The bill will now be passed on to Gov. Steve Bullock (D) for signature or veto.

President Trump is sympathetic towards the challenges that come with having an autistic child or family member, and this weekend the White House is going to show its support for the families who face those challenges. During today’s press briefing, Sean Spicer announced that the White House will be lit in blue on Sunday to honor this cause!
The White House will be LIT IN BLUE this weekend for amazing cause! -
Here’s more information about how you can help support this amazing cause:
From Autism-society.org:
Put on the Puzzle! The Autism Awareness Puzzle Ribbon is the most recognized symbol of the autism community in the world. Autism prevalence is now one in every 68 children in America. Show your support for people with autism by wearing the Autism Awareness Puzzle Ribbon – as a pin on your shirt, a magnet on your car, a badge on your blog, or even your Facebook profile picture – and educate folks on the potential of people with autism! To learn more about the Autism Awareness Ribbon, click here. To purchase the Autism Awareness Puzzle Ribbon for your shirt, car, locker or refrigerator, click here.
Connect with your neighborhood. Many Autism Society local affiliates hold special events in their communities throughout the month of April. But if you can’t find an event that suits you just right, create your own!
Watch a movie. Did you know that something that seems as simple as going to the movies is not an option for many families affected by autism? The Autism Society is working with AMC Theatres to bring special-needs families Sensory Friendly Films every month.

Amazing gesture from our President President Trump
ilovemyfreedom.org|By Donald Trump Is My President
fyi...
the blue lighting is also symbolic for support of those who suffer w/ diabetes as well
as support for all the men and women who serve in blue.
from yesterdays press briefing sean spicer announced...
https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/03/31/daily-press-briefing-press-secretary-sean-spicer-33
And on Sunday, the White House will honor World Autism Awareness Day by lighting the White House in blue to join with the autism awareness community. Further research into the causes and treatments for autism spectrum disorders is one of the President’s priorities. As we light it blue on Sunday, the White House will be celebrating all of the individuals and families whose lives are impacted by autism.
I would note that it's a really interesting story how this came to be. The head of Autism Speaks, an organization that has done tremendous work with this, Bob Wright is one of the cofounders -- is a longtime friend of the President. His wife, Suzanne, was struggling with pancreatic cancer last year. And the President made a pledge to her. He said, if I'm elected President, in supporting this cause that you care so deeply about, I will light the White House blue. So it is in Suzanne and Bob Wright’s honor that this will occur for this great cause. And I hope Bob knows that Suzanne is looking down proudly to see that that pledge has been fulfilled.

REPORT: Obama Officials Hand-Delivered List Of Russian Investigation Docs to Senate Before Inauguration
Posted Friday, March 31st 2017 @ 2pm by Hannity.com Staff
Obama Speaks To Democratic Caucus To Pass Health Care Bill
Obama administration officials created a list of intelligence documents relating to Russian interference in the 2016 election, and passed that information to prominent lawmakers before Trump was sworn in, reports NBC News.
The documents were assembled, categorized, and serialized in January and sent to the Senate Intelligence Committee ahead of the incoming Trump administration, says one former Obama official.
The serial numbers relating to the documents are not classified, even though the reports themselves are. The purpose, according to an insider, was to make the information ‘harder to bury’ and ‘to share it with those on the Hill who could lawfully see the documents’.
The revelation is further evidence of a highly organized effort on the part of the previous administration to spread classified information.
The report also appears to corroborates information that came to light earlier this month, when former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Evelyn Farkas suggested that she encouraged former colleagues in the Obama administration to share intelligence concerning the Trump team with colleagues on Capitol Hill.
"I became very worried because not enough was coming out into the open and I knew that there was more. We have very good intelligence on Russia," Farkas said during an MSNBC interview. "So then I had talked to some of my former colleagues and I knew that they were trying to also help get information to the Hill."

Great meeting with a wonderful woman today, former Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice! #US
President Trump makes good deals. He is not afraid to talk truth to power nor is he afraid to ruffle some feathers to get the job done.
But, like all master deal makers, he knows the limits and he knows how to mend hurt feelings that can result from the heat of the battle.
During the primaries, Condi Rice was not always a supporter of President Trump. When he screwed up or she let him have it.
The liberals will have you believe the republicans never called out Trump when he made a mistake. That, and Condi Rice is a perfect example, is not true.
So while it shocked many on the left, those in the know were not surprised when Condi Rice went to the White House for a quick meeting with President Trump.
This is a good move Rice is an experienced foreign policy expert with vast White House experience. What could be invaluable is she is one of the foremost experts on Russia on the planet.
With Russia re-emerging as a potential player on the world stage it is wise to seek counsel with steady leaders like Rice.
No word on if he plans to offer her a new role in his administration. It would piss off liberals but would be good for America.
It could have been a social visit. Most likely, as Trump is famous for getting opinions of all the experts before he make a decision, they had a frank strategy talk.

I think that she got the position just for the security clearance. Trump is his own man.
They passed the EPA rule to go public too.
The House just passed something that has environmentalists sharpening their pitchforks again. Seems liberal pitchforks are always at the ready whenever opportunity strikes. It’s one of the left’s hidden talents, along with being sneaky when it comes to climate change “science” (see BUSTED: NOAA Lied About Climate Change to Manipulate World Leaders and Obama Manipulated Department of Energy to Push Climate Change…). Which is why Republicans pushed a bill to make that research public.
A bill approved Wednesday by the GOP-controlled House would require that data used to support new regulations to protect human health and the environment be released to the public.
Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said “the days of ‘trust me’ science are over,” adding that the House bill would restore confidence in the EPA’s decision-making process. The bill was approved 228-194.
Seems like a good way to hold the EPA accountable. Aaaand here’s the reaction from leftist windbags – predictable yet priceless…

now i know many will say....
if you are going to post a pic and calling it a frac site actually show a frac site not a drilling rig.
however, for those of you who say you are not fond of fracking or that you don't care for it you should probably stop driving that gas or diesel fueled vehicle. You know because to get gasoline or diesel it's gotta be drilled, fracked, pumped out of the ground, transported to refineries, refined and distributed to you local gas stations.
from Proud Veterans and American Patriots...
That is a fracking site.. crude doesnt come from fracking! Fracking is basically natural gas... The gas will go through a process called liquefaction.. From a gas to a liquid.. Kinder Morgan has a site just for that purpose..
When the term gas is used, its not crude.. Its a gas form!
Exploration of oil and crude is being done in the uk..
There is a documentary about fracking.. You should watch it!
FYI, FRACKING is done vertically.. with a Derek.you know the same way oil and crude is done...it can be done horizontal, Only there is more involved than just drilling..
I worked at elba island in Savannah ga..a new facility is being added on to Elba Island to increase liquefaction process production..
Fracking is a better way to produce petroleum products and it's safer for the environment despite what is being said about it..
People need to learn about the process of how fracking really works.. When fracking takes place its done hundreds of feet below the water table and casing is used to protect the water table..
The pressure needed to make this process work is a thousand plus PSI
Therefore it has to be in a casing to work or it Would fail..
For those who dont know, fracking has been going on since the sixties..nothing new here, just improvement of the wheel.
another good study to get into to understand fully....
but not on a monday there is just tooo much happening to keep up with

2,070 Refugees Arrived in U.S. in March; 54% Drop From February
By Patrick Goodenough | April 3, 2017 | 4:29 AM EDT

(CNSNews.com) – The number of refugees admitted to the United States dropped in March to its lowest monthly tally of the current fiscal year, even as the implementation of President Trump’s latest immigration executive order continues to be held up by federal courts.
In a continuing declining trend, 2,070 refugees arrived during March, an approximately 54.79 percent drop from the 4,579 recorded in February, according to State Department Refugee Processing Center data.
The number has steadily declined in FY 2017, from 9,945 refugees admitted to the U.S. last October, to 8,355 in November, 7,371 in December and 6,777 in January.
Of the 2,070 refugees resettled in March, the largest contingents came from Somalia (335), Syria (282), Burma (278), Iraq (192), Democratic Republic of Congo (184), Ukraine (167) and Iran (101).
After an initial executive order ran into legal roadblocks, Trump issued a revised one on March 6 that once again sought to block all refugees from entering the country for 120 days. It dropped the original’s provision placing an indefinite ban on the admission of refugees from Syria, however.
The new order again included a ceiling on 50,000 refugees overall to be admitted during FY 2017. Trump declared that allowing more than that “would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.”
The U.S. District Court in Hawaii issued a temporary restraining order preventing the administration from implementing the 120-day bar on refugee entry, (as well as a 90-day bar on entry of most citizens of six terror-prone countries – Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.)
Other parts of the order, including the 50,000 refugee admission ceiling for FY 2017, were not impacted by the court action and went into effect on March 16.
The 50,000 ceiling stands in sharp contrast to the Obama administration’s announcement last fall that the U.S. would resettle 110,000 this fiscal year.
With the fiscal year now halfway through, 39,098 refugees had arrived as of March 31, of whom 30,122 arrived before the end of the Obama administration and 8,967 since Trump’s inauguration.
The countries of origin of the biggest groups of resettled refugees in FY 2017 are the Democratic Republic of Congo (6,698), Syria (5,839), Iraq (5,676), Somalia (4,917), Burma (3,270), Ukraine (2,600), Bhutan (2,132), Iran (1,969) and Afghanistan (1,027).
Of the six terror-susceptible countries whose citizens (as opposed to those seeking refugee status) were banned for entry under the now suspended executive order, four are well-represented in the FY 2017 refugee admission statistics: Syria (5,839), Somalia (4,917), Sudan (627), and Iran (1,696). The last two, Yemen and Libya, accounted for just 18 and three refugees respectively.
Syrian refugees have been in the spotlight especially because of fears that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS/ISIL) would try to exploit refugee admission programs to infiltrate operatives into the West.
After the deadly ISIS terror attacks in Paris in November 2015, French authorities confirmed that two of the terrorists involved had been carrying fake Syrian passports.
“Some terrorists are trying to get into our countries and commit criminal acts by mixing in with the flow of migrants and refugees,” Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve warned fellow European Union countries at the time.
The Obama administration maintained that the vetting process for refugees was the most robust of any for those wanting to travel to the U.S.
But concerns have also been raised about limits on U.S. security agencies’ ability to vet refugee applicants from Syria, given the ongoing civil war.
Weeks before the Paris attack, FBI Director James Comey addressed the difficulties at a House Homeland Security Committee hearing.
“If someone has never made a ripple in the pond in Syria in a way that would get their identity or their interests reflected in our database, we can query our database until the cows come home but we’re not going to – there’ll be nothing to show up, because we have no record of that person,” Comey said. “You can only query what you’ve collected.”
The U.S. has admitted 18,135 Syrian refugees since the Paris attacks, including 5,839 during FY 2017, and 1,221 since the start of the Trump administration.
Of the 18,135 admitted since the Nov. 2015 attacks, 98.8 percent were Muslims, 0.9 percent Christians, and 0.3 percent Yazidis and others.
Of the 1,221 Syrian refugees admitted since the start of the Trump administration, 98.5 percent were Muslims, 1.2 percent Christians and 0.2 percent Yazidis.
The Syrian conflict has impacted citizens of all religious and ethnic groups, although the Obama administration determine a year ago that Christians and Yazidis were being targeted for genocide in areas under the control of the Sunni jihadists of ISIS.
Trump’s revised executive order dropped a provision in the original one that called for the prioritizing of refugees from religious minorities.

WikiLeaks Ties John McCain to Russian Money Trail
By Proud Conservative
Posted on April 2, 2017
In case you haven’t heard, John McCain has been catering to the liberal left by campaigning against the Russian government for its alleged hacking of the November election. He even went so far as to label it an “act of war.”
But wait…it gets better. In a rather shocking discovery recently made by Wikileaks, it seems it wasn’t too long ago he was illegally campaigning for Russian ambassador, Vitaly Churkin…to provide donations for 2008 McCain/Palin GOP ticket. That’s right. See the hypocrisy for yourself:
Ouch. Poor John.
In 2008 the Russian mission released a letter on a fundraising attempt from John McCain.
Reddit users say John McCain illegally asked for campaign donations from the Russian Ambassador. (the same ambassador that died suddenly on Monday) This globalist rails against Russian influence while he himself participated in it.
As if this isn’t bizarre enough already, when the Russian Embassy in New York was contacted by True Pundit for comment in regards to this letter, the diplomatic staff reported that Ambassador Churkin had suddenly and mysteriously passed away. Oddly suspicious, don’t you think?

Notorious hacker “KimDotCom” claims Obama did WAY MORE than wiretap Trump…
Donald Trump, News
This could be even bigger than we thought…
As we learn more and more about Obama’s efforts to spy on Trump during the 2016 campaign, famous Hacker ‘KimDotCom’ has now claimed that Obama spied on Trump “24/7” through his phone.
We’re waiting to hear more about what he knows, but here’s the story from The Coin Telegraph:
“Megaupload and Bitcache Founder Kim Dotcom has highlighted the most striking revelations from WikiLeaks’ latest expose on CIA spying practices.
In a series of tweets on Tuesday and Wednesday, the entrepreneur noted that the agency likely spied on US President Donald trump “24/7” by bugging his electronic devices.

Recently there was an amateur art contest in the Netherlands,
and people were invited to create a work of art depicting the
current era of multiculturalism in Europe
a depiction of their experience in the modern melting pot.
This was the winner.
This art piece sums it all up...
The Euros will regret letting in millions of Muslims to leach
off their generous welfare systems, and then still foment
terrorism against the very same people who are their Hosts.
Look at it carefully and let it sink in.
It is quite profound when understood.

Disneyland Park, originally Disneyland, is the first of two theme parks built at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, opened on July 17, 1955. It is the only theme park designed and built under the direct supervision of Walt Disney. It was originally the only attraction on the property; its name was changed to Disneyland Park to distinguish it from the expanding complex in the 1990s.
Walt Disney came up with the concept of Disneyland after visiting various amusement parks with his daughters in the 1930s and 1940s. He initially envisioned building a tourist attraction adjacent to his studios in Burbank to entertain fans who wished to visit; however, he soon realized that the proposed site was too small. After hiring a consultant to help him determine an appropriate site for his project, Disney bought a 160-acre (65 ha) site near Anaheim in 1953. Construction began in 1954 and the park was unveiled during a special televised press event on the ABC Television Network on July 17, 1955.
The earliest documented draft of Disney's plans was sent as a memo to studio production designer D*ck Kelsey on August 31, 1948, where it was referred to as a "Mickey Mouse Park", based on notes Walt made during his and Ward Kimball's trip to Chicago Railroad Fair the same month, with a two-day stop in Henry Ford's Museum and Greenfield Village, a place with attractions like a Main Street and steamboat rides, which he had visited eight years earlier.

Obama National Security Advisor SUSAN RICE Behind Unmasking Of Trump Transition Team
By: Ben Shapiro April 3, 2017
In a massive scoop, on Monday morning Eli Lake of Bloomberg reported that Barack Obama’s national security advisor, Susan Rice, repeatedly requested information from the intelligence community on members of the Trump transition team and campaign, unmasking them to an audience beyond the intelligence community in the process. Normally, raw intelligence masks the identity of American citizens caught up in legal surveillance of other targets.
In February [National Security Council senior director for intelligence] Cohen-Watnick discovered Rice's multiple requests to unmask U.S. persons in intelligence reports that related to Trump transition activities. He brought this to the attention of the White House General Counsel's office, who reviewed more of Rice's requests and instructed him to end his own research into the unmasking policy. The intelligence reports were summaries of monitored conversations -- primarily between foreign officials discussing the Trump transition, but also in some cases direct contact between members of the Trump team and monitored foreign officials. One U.S. official familiar with the reports said they contained valuable political information on the Trump transition such as whom the Trump team was meeting, the views of Trump associates on foreign policy matters and plans for the incoming administration.
Rice denied that she knew anything about members of the Trump transition caught up in incidental intelligence gathering last month. As Lake also points out, the revelation that Rice requested the documents would explain House Intelligence Chair Devin Nunes’ trip to the White House two weeks ago – he needed to go there to view Rice’s missives. It would also explain why Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the most ardent Trump critic on wiretapping and leaks, suddenly went silent over the weekend after seeing documents the White House presented to him.
This is indeed a huge story for the Trump White House. It doesn’t change the inaccuracy of Trump’s accusations that he was wiretapped by the Obama administration – there is still zero evidence to support that claim. But it demonstrates that the Trump team was not only targeted by members of the Obama intelligence community for unmasking and likely leaking, but that such unmasking went to the very top of the Obama administration.
And here’s another inconvenient fact for Democrats: despite Susan Rice requesting and apparently receiving raw intelligence regarding the Trump team, the Democrats have been unable to substantiate any allegedly nefarious activity between Trump’s people and foreign adversaries. Which means that the only scandal here is the apparent targeting and leaking of names from the Trump team in order to smear them by high-ranking Obama officials.
There’s another question that requires an answer, however: why didn’t Trump merely declassify this material as soon as his White House found out about it in February? Why attempt to channel it through Nunes?
In any case, the plot thickens. And it’s not looking good for Democrats.

Bit by bit, Trump methodically undoing Obama policies
By DARLENE SUPERVILLE, Associated Press THE ASSOCIATED PRESS STATEMENT OF NEWS VALUES AND PRINCIPLES
WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid the turmoil over staff shake-ups, blocked travel bans and the Russia cloud hanging overhead, President Donald Trump is steadily plugging away at a major piece of his agenda: Undoing Obama.
From abortion to energy to climate change and personal investments, Trump is keeping his promises in methodically overturning regulations and policies adopted when Barack Obama was president.
It hasn't all been smooth sailing.
Trump recently failed to fulfill his pledge to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, which continues to stand as Obama's most recognizable domestic policy achievement. Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan couldn't persuade enough fellow Republicans to back new health care legislation last month. Ryan pulled the measure just before a scheduled House vote.
Trump has had better outcomes in other areas.
CLIMATE CHANGE
Trump signed an executive order last week to deliver on his pledge to unravel Obama's efforts to curb global warming. The order launched a review of the Clean Power Plan, Obama's chief effort to curb carbon emissions by restricting greenhouse gas emissions at coal-fired power plants. Trump also lifted a 14-month-old halt on new coal leases on federal lands. The Obama administration had imposed a three-year freeze on such leases in January of last year.
The executive order covers a range of other Obama-era rules, including requirements to factor the "social cost" of carbon emissions into all regulatory actions and to crack down on methane emissions at oil and gas wells. Business groups had complained to Trump, himself a businessman, that the rules were intrusive and expensive.
INTERNET PRIVACY
Trump is expected to sign a measure soon to block online privacy regulations the Federal Communications Commission issued during Obama's final months in office. It's a first step toward allowing internet providers to sell information about their customers' browsing habits. The FCC rule was designed to give consumers more control over how companies like Comcast, AT&T and Verizon share information. Critics complained that the rule would have increased costs, stifled innovation and picked winners and losers among internet companies.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer says the rule represents the type of "federal overreach" that Trump pledged as a candidate to reverse.
ABORTION/FAMILY PLANNING
Trump is expected to sign legislation erasing another Obama rule, one that barred states from withholding federal family planning funds from Planned Parenthood affiliates and other clinics that provide abortions. The rule was finalized shortly before Obama left office in January.
The measure cleared the Senate last week with Vice President Mike Pence, who is also president of the Senate, casting the tie-breaking 51st vote in the 100-member chamber.
KEYSTONE XL OIL PIPELINE
Trump greenlighted the long-delayed project on March 24, reversing Obama's decision less than 18 months earlier. After Trump invited TransCanada, the Canadian company building the $8 billion pipeline, to resubmit its application, the State Department approved the project, saying it would advance U.S. national interests. Obama had said the project would not.
Approval came nearly a decade after TransCanada applied to complete the 1,700-mile (2,735 kilometers) pipeline to carry oil from tar sands in Alberta, Canada, to refineries along the Texas Gulf Coast.
Trump says the project will reduce costs and reliance on foreign oil, and create thousands of jobs. Obama had said it would undercut U.S. credibility in international efforts to tackle climate change.
DAKOTA ACCESS PIPELINE
Under Obama, the Army Corps of Engineers had declined in December to allow pipeline construction under South Dakota's Lake Oahe on grounds that alternate routes needed to be considered. Native American tribes had sued to block construction, arguing that the pipeline threatened their water supply and cultural sites.
The project has moved forward again under Trump, who acted shortly after taking office. In February, the Army Corps of Engineers abandoned further study and granted an easement that was needed to complete the pipeline. Energy Transfer Partners immediately began drilling under the lake.
FUEL EFFICIENCY STANDARDS
The Trump administration is re-examining federal requirements governing the fuel efficiency of cars and trucks. In 2012, the Obama administration set fuel economy regulations for model years 2017-2025 and agreed to complete a midterm evaluation by next year. Then, days before Obama left office, the Environmental Protection Agency decided to keep stringent requirements it had set in place for model years 2022-2025.
The auto industry balked. Trump announced in Michigan that he's putting the midterm review back on track. His decision has no immediate effect but requires the EPA to determine no later than April 2018 whether the 2022-2025 standards are appropriate.
TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP
Obama was his administration's biggest cheerleader for the sweeping agreement involving the U.S. and 11 other Pacific Rim nations. But the Senate needed to ratify it, and bipartisan opposition basically doomed it before he left office.
As a candidate, Trump railed against this agreement and pledged to withdraw from it, saying he was a better negotiator and could strike better deals. Shortly after taking office, he directed the U.S. trade representative to withdraw and said he would pursue individual deals with the other countries.
ABORTION/MEXICO CITY POLICY
Trump reinstated a ban on providing federal money to international groups that perform abortions or provide information about them. Obama had lifted the ban when he took office in 2009.
Known as the "Mexico City Policy" or, by critics, as the "global gag rule," the regulation has been a political volleyball, instituted by Republican administrations and rescinded by Democratic ones since 1984. Trump signed it one day after the 44th anniversary of the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion in the United States. The policy also prohibits taxpayer funding for groups that lobby to legalize abortion or promote it as a family planning method.
PERSONAL FINANCE
Trump has instructed the Department of Labor to delay an Obama-era rule that would require financial professionals who charge commissions to put their clients' best interests first when advising them on retirement investments. The "fiduciary rule" was aimed at blocking consultants from steering clients toward investments with higher commissions and fees that can eat away at retirement savings. The rule was to take effect this month. The financial services industry argued that the rule would limit retirees' investment choices by forcing asset managers to steer them to low-risk options.
Undoing the rule was part of a promised assault by Trump on banking rules enacted after the Great Recession. He has directed the Treasury secretary to review the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial oversight law, which he has said is a disaster. The law's aim was to keep banks from repeating practices that many blamed for the financial meltdown.

Top Obama Adviser Sought Names of Trump Associates in Intel
April 3, 2017 10:13 AM EDT
By Eli Lake
White House lawyers last month learned that the former national security adviser Susan Rice requested the identities of U.S. persons in raw intelligence reports on dozens of occasions that connect to the Donald Trump transition and campaign, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
The pattern of Rice's requests was discovered in a National Security Council review of the government's policy on "unmasking" the identities of individuals in the U.S. who are not targets of electronic eavesdropping, but whose communications are collected incidentally. Normally those names are redacted from summaries of monitored conversations and appear in reports as something like "U.S. Person One."
Nunes Says Trump Team Caught in U.S. Surveillance Net
The National Security Council's senior director for intelligence, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, was conducting the review, according to two U.S. officials who spoke with Bloomberg View on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly. In February Cohen-Watnick discovered Rice's multiple requests to unmask U.S. persons in intelligence reports that related to Trump transition activities. He brought this to the attention of the White House General Counsel's office, who reviewed more of Rice's requests and instructed him to end his own research into the unmasking policy.
The intelligence reports were summaries of monitored conversations -- primarily between foreign officials discussing the Trump transition, but also in some cases direct contact between members of the Trump team and monitored foreign officials. One U.S. official familiar with the reports said they contained valuable political information on the Trump transition such as whom the Trump team was meeting, the views of Trump associates on foreign policy matters and plans for the incoming administration.
Rice did not respond to an email seeking comment on Monday morning. Her role in requesting the identities of Trump transition officials adds an important element to the dueling investigations surrounding the Trump White House since the president's inauguration.
Both the House and Senate intelligence committees are probing any ties between Trump associates and a Russian influence operation against Hillary Clinton during the election. The chairman of the House intelligence committee, Representative Devin Nunes, is also investigating how the Obama White House kept tabs on the Trump transition after the election through unmasking the names of Trump associates incidentally collected in government eavesdropping of foreign officials.
Rice herself has not spoken directly on the issue of unmasking. Last month when she was asked on the "PBS NewsHour" about reports that Trump transition officials, including Trump himself, were swept up in incidental intelligence collection, Rice said: "I know nothing about this," adding, "I was surprised to see reports from Chairman Nunes on that account today."
Rice's requests to unmask the names of Trump transition officials do not vindicate Trump's own tweets from March 4 in which he accused Obama of illegally tapping Trump Tower. There remains no evidence to support that claim.
But Rice's multiple requests to learn the identities of Trump officials discussed in intelligence reports during the transition period does highlight a longstanding concern for civil liberties advocates about U.S. surveillance programs. The standard for senior officials to learn the names of U.S. persons incidentally collected is that it must have some foreign intelligence value, a standard that can apply to almost anything. This suggests Rice's unmasking requests were likely within the law.
The news about Rice also sheds light on the strange behavior of Nunes in the last two weeks. It emerged last week that he traveled to the White House last month, the night before he made an explosive allegation about Trump transition officials caught up in incidental surveillance. At the time he said he needed to go to the White House because the reports were only on a database for the executive branch. It now appears that he needed to view computer systems within the National Security Council that would include the logs of Rice's requests to unmask U.S. persons.
The ranking Democrat on the committee Nunes chairs, Representative Adam Schiff, viewed these reports on Friday. In comments to the press over the weekend he declined to discuss the contents of these reports, but also said it was highly unusual for the reports to be shown only to Nunes and not himself and other members of the committee.
Indeed, much about this is highly unusual: if not how the surveillance was collected, then certainly how and why it was disseminated.
(looks like someone has had some 'other' work done behind the scenes)

THE BENGHAZI LIARS Are Back: Susan Rice And Adam Schiff Are Once Again Caught In Another Huge Scandal…Only This Time Their Target Is President Trump

just 2 of obummers butt kissers

Most of us remember Susan Rice for going on a media lying blitz on behalf of Hillary and President Barack Obama, where she told millions of viewers on several networks that the Benghazi attack was a spontaneous event caused by a video. We all know now this was a lie and that a “video” did not cause the attack on our American consulate in Benghazi. Here is a compilation of Susan Rice lying to the media about the reason for the Benghazi attack:

Did they not know that when they came here... since walking the dog is as old as Chevrolet and American pie or was it the "The Red Fern" or "Old Yeller" or "Lady and the Tramp" and oh yes I don't believe there is any mention of the Koran/Quran in the US Constitution... there are leash laws, picking up poopoo laws/ ordinances but I am sure PETA and the Humane Society might get upset for limiting the dogs' rights for adequate exercise... I can't imagine the up roar that would be heard if more people decided to walk their pet pigs to the community park and back home again...
Muslims DEMAND: Don’t Walk Dogs In Public – Violation Of Sharia And DISRESPECTFUL To Us
Guests should be polite.
Muslims hate dogs. This goes all the way back to their conquest of Persia in the seventh century A.D. The conqered people were the Zorostrians, and they loved and revered dogs. As part of their conquest, the new masters of Persia decided to target dogs for cruel treatment for the very reason that it was cruel and showed the Persians who was in charge.
Fast forward to the modern era. Like so many Muslim customs, this little horror made it into their official teaching and so cannot be rescinded now. A Muslim is taught from early on that dogs are unclean. Angels will not visit a house where a dog resides. So what to do when they suddenly immigrate to a host country that loves dogs? Do they try to get along and not make waves?
Not so much. In fact, you have a clash of civilizations on any point no matter how seemingly small. If it’s important to Muslims, the host country need to remove the offense. That pressure is beginning to build in Manchester now that the Muslim numbers are increasing so quickly. Here’s a small sample of what is happening.
In Manchester, pamphlets have been distributed by a group called Public Purity. They have demanded that Brits stop taking their dogs out in public as dogs are considered impure in the Islamic faith.
Here’s a copy of the flyer ‘encouraging’ compliance
Here is the reverse side of the leaflet
How would you feel if this showed up on your door. Furious? Annoyed? Troubled? Probably all of that and more. This is a direct affront to the hosts who have so unsuspectingly welcomed these outsiders. This is just the start of the outrages. In fact, reports indicate a spike in the number of dog poisonings. Good luck Manchester. You’re gonna need it.

Left Believes Barack Obama Allowed A Known Russian Agent To Be Elected President
Left says Obama had intelligence linking Trump and/or associates with the Russians. Left doesn’t say why Obama didn’t inform the voters of the evidence he possessed. Left doesn’t say why he ignored FBI request to move forward on investigation – last summer.
He could’ve stopped what Left says is greatest calamity to befall all of humanity. Left says the election is a Guarantee Of Our Destruction As A Species. He could have stopped it all, Left says*. But he let it go. Someone should ask him why.
*(No not now, but eventually they will.)

Black Lives Matter Just Banned White People
By: Chase Stephens
April 3, 2017
Sad news for white leftists in Philadelphia who want to support the Black Lives Matter movement by attending the group's meetings in person. According to BLM Philly, white people are banned from future gatherings and are not allowed to be official members of the organization because it is considered a “black only space.”
As the Daily Caller reports:
The April 15 meeting plans to discuss projects and initiatives for the upcoming year and act as a place for people to “meet, strategize and organize.” While children are invited to attend, white people are explicitly banned from the meeting, according to the Facebook event page.
When people began questioning the ban on whites over Twitter, Black Lives Matter Philly stayed by their ban, explaining that their meetings are “black centered.”
Anyone who identifies as “African disapora” is allowed to attend, the group explained over Twitter.
“If you identify as a person of the African Diaspora You can attend our meetings and become a member. If not you can support us in other ways,” Philly BLM said in a tweet. “African Disapora” usually refers to people who were taken out of Africa during the Transatlantic Slave Trades.
And though many Twitterers applauded BLM Philly's white ban, others pointed out the insanity:
BLM Philly? @BLMPhilly Apr 3 BLM Philly Retweeted Sharika Soal
If you identify as a person of the African Diaspora You can attend our meetings and become a member. If not you can support us in other ways
BLM Philly added, Sharika SoalVerified account @LadyThriller69
All Hispanic and. Whites who support #BlacklivesMatter @BLMPhilly says you are not welcome at meetings and you can't attend.

‘Indirectly’ spying on a Presidential candidate of the opposite party, who becomes the President-elect? If there’s a legitimate reason for President Obama’s national security adviser to unmask identities on intelligence documents having NOTHING to do with Russia, we’d like to hear it.

CNN Goes on Rampage Against Susan Rice Bombshell, Instructs Viewers to Ignore Story
'We will not aid and abet the people trying to misinform you'
Apr 4, 2017
Since news broke Monday that the Obama Administration's National Security Adviser, Susan Rice, directed the "unmasking" of NSA intercepts of Trump associates, CNN has raced to shoot down the blockbuster report.
CNN Tonight's Don Lemon went so far as to announce he would ignore the news at all costs.
While interviewing a Democratic congressman, CNN's Chris Cuomo claimed it was "demonstrably untrue" Rice sought surveillance of the Trump team, even as that's exactly what yesterday's reports prove.
Over the last 24 hours, the network has also repeatedly called on its chief national security correspondent, Jim Sciutto, to dismiss the reports as a non-story; Sciutto has even excused Rice claiming ignorance of the unmasking scandal two weeks ago, arguing Rice "wasn't aware" what unmasking Rep. Devin Nunes (D-Calif.) was referring to.
And on Tuesday's "New Day," anchor Alisyn Camerota openly pleaded with Sen. John McCain to write-off the news as unimportant.
Last night, Lemon began "CNN Tonight" with an announcement that the Rice report a "fake scandal ginned up by right-wing media and Trump" that he would not be baited into justifying with coverage.
"On this program tonight, we will not insult your intelligence by pretending," it's legitimate, he said. "Nor will we aid and abet the people trying to misinform you, the American people, by creating a diversion. Not going to do it."
Sciutto also claimed the story was "ginned up" to distract from Trump tweeting that the Trump Tower was "wiretapped," when it was in fact communications were picked up through ordinary NSA surveillance.
"Again, to note by senior intelligence officials who work for both Democrats and Republicans, this appears to be a story, largely ginned up, partly as a distraction from this larger investigation," Sciutto told Anderson Cooper, explaining that "someone close to Ambassador Rice" told him this type of unmasking is "not unusual."
In another appearance, Sciutto even attempted to excuse Rice from claiming to have no knowledge of the unmasking she's been caught orchestrating.
"From her perspective she didn’t know what specific unmasking Devin Nunes and others are talking about, in part because that is something she asks — or asked during the regular course of her work as national security adviser," he said. "I do know from speaking to people yesterday close to her that she doesn’t know specifically what Devin Nunes and others are accusing her of when it comes to unmasking because that was something sets in the regular course of her job."
And in yet another appearance, Sciutto also setup something of a strawman, arguing that the unmasking story is not important because "unmasking is not leaking."
During an interview with Sen. John McCain, CNN's Camerota plainly tried nudging the Arizona senator into dismissing the Rice bombshell:
CAMEROTA: “Okay, senator, I want to move on to other news of the day and that is, as you know, the Trump White House has talked about what they see or they say they see as a controversy of the former national security adviser Susan Rice unmasking a name, someone on team Trump, that was somehow caught up in some incidental collection of surveillance. They say that this is a controversy, it shows that she has done something wildly out of the bounds of normalcy. Is this business as usual for a national security adviser to ask for a name to be revealed, an American name, if she wants to know more or is this some sort of a controversy?”
McCAIN: “I think the circumstances indicate that there’s a possibility that that request could have been politically motivated. But we need to get to the bottom of it. As I’ve said, and I’ll probably say many more times because I’m kind of boring, this is a centipede. A shoe will drop every few days, the latest the meeting in Seychelles. This is a requirement, in my view, why we need a select committee in order to get through all this because there’s lots more shoes that will drop. I can’t make a judgment on what I just heard. She did have the authority to do it. What was the motivation for doing it, I think is the question.”
CAMEROTA: “What we’ve heard from the reporting, is that if she saw a masked name that said American number one had these conversations with Russians at the same time that President Obama had imposed sanctions, wouldn’t that arouse some curiosity on her part?”
McCAIN: “All I can say, Alisyn, is that I don’t know enough to reach a conclusion except to say this is another aspect of this multi-dimensional scandal."
