Trump: "You're Fired". The Latest West Wing Shakeup

Fox News is reporting that President Trump's White House communications director Mike Dubke has left his post.

He said that it's been a "privilege to serve this president" and cited his reasons for leaving as "personal".

There has been speculation for weeks that a shakeup of senior staff in the West Wing was nearing.

Some thought that it might be Reince Priebus, Steve Bannon, or Kellyanne Conway on their way out.

The departure of Dubke, a longtime GOP operative, signals a willing shift in how the President's policies and agenda are portrayed.

Who fills Dubke's role will be telling in how the White House wants to package the Trump agenda. Many Trump loyalists would like to see someone like Steve Bannon or Kellyanne Conway take over the White House messaging as their styles are more aggressive and part of what helped Trump secure his historic victory this November.

Here is Proof That President Trump Cannot Trust Gary ‘Wormtongue’ Cohn on Paris Agreement

by JAMES DELINGPOLE

“If he were standing here, he would tell you that he feels much more knowledgeable on the topic today,” said Trump’s economic advisor Gary Cohn, referring to the president’s position on climate change and the Paris agreement.

Well if that’s the case, it’s certainly no thanks to Cohn – whose advice on these matters is about as sound, reliable and unbiased as that provided by Grima Wormtongue – slippery henchman of the evil wizard Saruman – to King Theoden in Lord of the Rings.

Cohn wants Trump to keep the U.S. in the Paris climate agreement. Of course, he does. As an ex-Goldman Sachs man Cohn is a fully paid up member of the $1.5 trillion-a-year Climate Industrial Complex. It was Goldman Sachs – along with Enron – which pioneered the carbon trading schemes that helped enrich enviro-troughers like Al Gore. If the global warming Ponzi scheme ever collapses – and it will – then many of Cohn’s friends and former clients stand to lose millions in crony-capitalist “investments” currently propped up by Obama-era regulation which Cohn and his cronies are desperate to keep in place.

This also explains Cohn’s extraordinary recent attack on the coal industry – “coal doesn’t even make that much sense anymore as a feedstock” – and his risibly dishonest claim that solar and wind power can help the U.S. become “a manufacturing powerhouse.”

It’s extraordinary firstly because it is in direct and explicit contradiction of Trump’s election trail promises to bring back jobs in the coal industry.

And it’s extraordinary secondly because it is in direct contradiction of observable reality, viz: there is no economic case for wind (or solar) – inefficient, expensive energy which is heavily reliant on taxpayer subsidy. For Trump’s Economic Advisor (!) to claim otherwise is at best irresponsibly misleading, at worst a flat-out lie.

Of a piece with this are Cohn’s claims about the Paris Agreement – which he has been trying to spin as a harmless, largely cosmetic diplomatic accord in which the U.S. is pretty much free to do as it chooses – either increasing or reducing its carbon reduction commitments, according to whim.

Here is how Bloomberg reported Cohn’s take on Paris.

Cohn stressed that Trump’s decision will ultimately be based on”what’s best for the United States.” He cast the agreement as flexible enough to accommodate reductions in the U.S. commitment that would keep the deal from hindering the American economy.

The original U.S. pledge to pare emissions at least 26 percent by 2025 “would be constraining to our economic growth,” Cohn told reporters. “But then you get into the whole discussion on Paris: Is it non-binding, is it not non-binding, can you change your levels, how easy is it to change your levels?”

If this is what Cohn has been telling Trump then he has been misleading him. The Paris agreement was ALWAYS intended by its negotiators to be a one-way ticket. That is, there was never supposed to be a get-out enabling the U.S to reduce its commitments in order to ‘keep the deal from hindering the American economy.’

Here is the evidence.

Exhibit A.

A talk given to the Brookings Institute by the chief U.S, climate negotiator Todd Stern, in which he says the following about the Paris Agreement, which he describes as a “universal, lasting climate regime.” (Emphasis added in bold):

“Second of all, really important with respect to ambition. We started with the completely extraordinary fact that here were 186 countries that had put forward their targets, their so-called INDCs in the lingo, during the course of 2015. And then there was an architecture built around that in the agreement of five-year cycles to ratchet those up. And countries either put in new targets or, if they’re in the middle of a longer target period, they have to either revise it upward or reconfirm it every five years. And the five-year cycle follows a global stock-take to see where we are in the aggregate vis-à-vis our long-term goals, vis-à-vis what science is telling us. So you’ve got an every-five-year stock-take and then about a year after the every-five-year stock-take countries have to either reconfirm and say, yes, I’m going to hold where I am or I’m going to increase where I am or if they’re in the period of time where they have to put in a target anyway, obviously they do. So that was really important.”

“So in the first set of these INDCs which are going to keep ratcheting up, again we hope every five years, that there’s already been this big, big move.”

“… the structure that you have these five-year review periods and the ratcheting up cycle of what countries are supposed to do built into the agreement“

Note: this ratchet – as ratchets do – only goes one way, which is up.

Exhibit B: a briefing note to the U.S. State Department from Michael Jacobs – a high level eco advisor, formerly Climate Advisor to Prime Minister Gordon Brown – of the Global Commission on Economy and Climate, submitted in 2014 in the run-up to Paris.

Paris – as it was clearly understood by those who wrote and negotiated it – was always a one-way ticket. Otherwise – as this document acknowledges – it would have no meaning: “Otherwise we have not real agreement in Paris at all.”

The Obama-era State Department knew this perfectly well. The lawyers and negotiators understood this perfectly well.

Gary Cohn too, no doubt, understands this perfectly well.

Which is yet another reason we all have cause to pray and hope that the rumors are true – and that President Trump really is going to quit the Paris climate agreement. If he does otherwise, he won’t be draining the swamp: he’ll be feeding the crocodiles and leeches.

What Is the Washington Post Hiding About Its Jared Kushner Story?

RICHARD POLLOCK Reporter

The Washington Post editors refuse to publicly release the smoking gun “anonymous letter” that serves as the foundation of their sensational charge that White House advisor Jared Kushner sought a secret, back-channel to Russian officials.

The “anonymous letter” was part of a front-page article claiming the president’s son-in-law sought to set up a private communications channel to Russian officials during a discussion with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. The piece was published Sunday and received high profile coverage throughout the long Memorial Day weekend.

“The Post was first alerted in mid-December to the meeting by an anonymous letter, which said, among other things, that Kushner had talked to Kislyak about setting up the communications channel,” the article’s three authors stated.

WaPo also claimed American intelligence agencies discovered the ploy through an intercepted open phone call by Kislyak to Moscow. Observers have noted that Kislyak, a seasoned spy, made the phone call on an “open line,” and therefore knew it was likely to be intercepted

To date, there has been no independent verification the letter is real or that WaPo’s description of its contents is accurate. The Washington Post editors also never explain why they withheld the letter.

The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group contacted The Post’s national desk over the weekend, seeking a copy of the letter and an explanation why their editors withheld it from the public. WaPo did not reply to either TheDCNF’s email or phone inquiries.

The question is, what is The Washington Post hiding?

The story is weakened further since its reporters only cite unnamed government officials to confirm the anonymous letter’s charges.

WaPo stated the letter’s allegations were affirmed by unnamed officials “who reviewed the letter and spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence.”

As a general rule, TheDCNF does not post documents if it endangers genuine whistleblowers, ongoing law enforcement or military operations, human life, or public safety.

Otherwise, TheDCNF emphasizes openness and transparency, which is especially important for original source documents related to its articles. And if it does not publicly link a document, it explicitly explains to readers the reasons why it has not released a key document.

The Post’s secrecy has produced its doubters. Over the weekend, Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who serves on the Senate Committees on Armed Services and the Judiciary, said he believed The Post’s account was bogus.

“I don’t trust this story as far as I can throw it,” the South Carolina Republican said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Graham, who served on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence between 2007 to 2009, doubted the Russian Ambassador would transmit the Kushner proposal via an open line, saying it “made no sense” since Kislyak would know U.S. intelligence authorities were monitoring the communication.

“I don’t know who leaked this information, but just think about it this way — you’ve got the ambassador of Russia reporting back to Moscow on an open channel, ‘Hey, Jared Kushner’s going to move into the embassy,'” Graham said on CNN.

Former U.S. Attorney Joseph DiGenova told TheDCNF other unreleased parts of the letter could undermine the credibility of the author and discredit the allegations about Kushner.

“Here’s the problem: we don’t know what else is in the letter. The letter may be so outrageous in its claims that if we read it all, it would throw doubt on to this particular allegation. And it may very well be that the letter is so scurrilous and outrageous that they won’t release it because it will make them look bad for relying on it at all,” he told TheDCNF in an interview.

Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a nonpartisan government watchdog group dedicated to openness and transparency, said he thought there could be references that shows the letter’s author had a partisan agenda, which WaPo reporters wanted to hide .

“Are they coloring their documents in any way?” he asked during an interview with TheDCNF. “The way you figure that out is whether they disclose their politics or their agendas. We don’t know if the characterization of the underlying documents is accurate or if it’s being slanted.”

Former Air Force Col. James Waurishuk, a senior intelligence and political-military affairs advisor who served on the National Security Council and worked with news organizations, told TheDCNF journalistic integrity has evaporated in Washington.

“We’ve been turning the corner for some time on journalistic integrity. I remember in my career a time when a press organization would not release anything to jeopardize a source, jeopardizing a military operation or some ongoing political dialogue. I think those days are gone,” he told TheDCNF.

Another issue testing the credibility of mainstream news organizations is a May 16 New York Times article claiming a memo former FBI Director James Comey wrote revealed President Donald Trump asked him to drop his investigation of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

But The NYTimes never possessed the Comey memo. According to the newspaper, “The New York Times has not viewed a copy of the memo, which is unclassified, but one of Mr. Comey’s associates read parts of it to a Times reporter.”

Fitton faulted The Times on the Comey memos.

“I’ve released documents for decades,” he said. “I could never get a reporter to write a story from a document that I’m reading to them without providing them with the full document.”

Brant Houston, who for a decade was the executive editor of the non-profit Investigative Reporters and Editors, told TheDCNF that in the end, it’s up to readers to decide if anonymous sources or or unseen documents appear credible.

“The great thing about journalism is it’s out there for everybody to see. Readers, viewers and fellow journalists will make their own judgments as to whether uses of anonymity was the appropriate thing to do,” he said.

North Korea Is The Number One Persecutor Of Christians

 

One can confidently say that it is the Kim family regime that has taken religious persecution, in particular the persecution of Christians, to a level, perhaps, on par with Nero's Rome as well as the Assyrian, Greek and Armenian genocide of World War I or the Yazidi genocide today,” Committee for Human Rights in North Korea executive director Greg Scarlatoiu told lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

According to the Christian Post, International Christian Concern, a religious liberty group, called for the meeting. They heard testimony from various activists about the state of freedom of religion in North Korea.

Lawmakers, including Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Oklahoma Senator James Lankford, New Jersey Rep. Chris Smith, and California Rep. Ed Royce, gave speeches to show support.

Scarlatoiu talked about how North Korea was once a home of religious freedom. "Prior to the Communist takeover, the capital city of Pyongyang used to be known as the ‘Jerusalem of the East.’ In North Korea, Christianity was once a way of life with two churches on the same street corner (being) a common sight."

When the Communist Party seized power in 1946, they placed a ban on religion and began an extreme crackdown on Catholic and Protestant churches. Scarlatoiu explained, “The (People’s Provincial) committee began to forbid Protestant and Catholic in-house assemblies and made Sunday a work day and Monday a rest day. And, this was just the beginning. Under the pretext that the sound of religious songs disturbed public life, the same committee asked churches to relocate. Communist Party agitators were inserted into Christian communities and church assemblies. They began criticizing the sermons as being unprogressive.” In 1968, religious freedom was banned totally by the Kim regime, forcing the populace to worship the heads of state.

According to Scarlatoiu, North Korea was at least 25 percent Christian prior to the communist takeover. Now it is less than one percent.

Their southern neighbors are working to record the terror aimed at the church. Scarlatoiu said, “Our colleagues in South Korea have thoroughly documented cases of religious persecution. Organizations such as Database Center for North Korean Human Rights and the Korean Institution for National Unification interviewed thousands of defectors who brought testimony of extremely severe religious persecution. Like other Communist leaders, as mentioned earlier, Kim Il-sung and the Kim regime has rejected religion as the 'opium of the people.'”

The United Nations reports that over the past 50 years, hundreds of thousands of Christians have died from communist persecution. According to Open Doors USA, a Christian persecution watchdog group, North Korea has been ranked at the top of their World Watch List with regard to persecuting Protestants and Catholics for the past 15 years.

Despite the grave situation in North Korea, defector Kim Chung-seong says that the underground church is growing. He himself escaped the communist nation prior to his execution.

Speaking at the first annual World Summit in Defense of Persecuted Christians in Washington, D.C., Kim says there are thousands secretly practicing the faith. “The one thing that the North Korean regime fears the most, and is afraid of, is the spreading of the Gospel.” He went on to say, “They (the communist regime) will do anything to prevent the spread of the Gospel in North Korea. As you can see, we cannot block the sunlight with our hand.”

I still think the biggest mistake President George W. Bush made immediately after 9-11 was in not repealing the executive order banning the assassination of foreign leaders who desperately need and richly deserve a bullet from a high-powered U.S. sniper’s rifle right in the melon.

In fact, back in October 2002, then-White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer said, referring to former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, “The cost of one bullet…is substantially less" than going to war.

Amen and hallelujah.

How many American servicemen and women would be alive today if “one bullet” had dealt with Saddam instead of the quagmire war we got ourselves into?  After all, Hussein ended up dead anyway, right?

I’m not saying President Donald Trump should repeal the executive order and immediately deploy American sharpshooters who are capable of putting one right between the eyes from a mile and half away.  

I’m saying he should put that threat back on the table and give folks like that “loser” fat-boy in North Korea something else to think about when he threatens to “nuke” the United States.

As Fleischer said, one bullet is a much smaller cost to pay than every other option at our disposal.

So let it be written; so let it be done.

Cheers.

P.S.  Trump Derangement Syndrome knows no bounds.  The latest fake news kerfuffle involves the wife of Eric Trump, son of President Donald Trump.

According to a story today published by the anti-Trump newsblog POLITICO, Lara Trump is actively involved with the Beagle Freedom Project, an animal rights group that “has persuaded five states to pass laws requiring tens of thousands of dogs and cats to be made available for adoption instead of euthanized after research testing.”

“Lara Trump's support for the Beagle Freedom Project has alarmed researchers and leaders from the pharmaceutical industry,” POLITICO reported, “as well as other animal rights organizations who say studies involving dogs and cats are well regulated by the federal government.”

Trump-hate has now lowered itself to creating a controversy over dog adoptions.  Unbelievable.

CNN Pushing Fake Story That Islam Was Part of Founding of America...Nonsense

Recent CNN broadcasts have begun pushing the notion that Islam is a fundamentally American religion that helped in the founding of our nation.

Anchors such as W. Kamau Bell and Dean Obeidallah have been using the specious argument that because Muslims were present during Revolutionary times, they therefore were actively involved in the founding.

Islam is “not” a foreign religion one guest tells Bell, “It’s very American.”

“It was actually part of the creation of the United States of America,” Obeidallah himself claims in another segment.

Via Breitbart:

“Islam has always been part of the American fabric,” one Muslim man in Detroit tells Bell at an anti-Trump event. “A lot of people think that Islam is from a foreign country, or is a foreign religion. It’s not — it’s very American.” He goes on to criticize “those more violent voices in our society” — and he does not mean radical Islamists. Bell is so impressed that he asks the man, “When are you running for mayor?”, comparing him to a “young Barack Obama.”

For CNN, the argument that Islam has “always” been present in the U.S. rests largely on the claim that a significant minority of black slaves were Muslim. On Saturday, CNN correspondent Dean Obeidallah claimed that “Islam has been here since the time of slavery, because ten to fifteen percent of the African slaves brought were Muslim. So Islam was here before the creation of the United States. It was actually part of the creation of the United States of America.”

As Joel Pollak explains, CNN is painting Muslims as victims of the slave trade while ignoring their role in helping the practice thrive.

Moreover, the Founders have consistently been quoted as wary of the prophet Mohammed.

John Adams referred to Mohammed as a “military fanatic” along the lines of Napoleon, adding he “was a usurper, lawless, and arrogated everything to himself by the force of arms.”

His son, John Quincy Adams, described Mohammed as “the fraudulent spirit of an impostor” who espoused violence and “degrad(ed) the condition” of women.

Thomas Jefferson, as President in 1801, sent the Navy and early Marine force to the Barbary Coast to stop Islamic pirates’ reign of terror on U.S. merchant ships.

Jefferson had determined that the Muslim holy book commanded the faithful to “plunder and enslave” non-Muslims.

Historian David Barton said he has supporting Muslims as part of the founding.

“In all the reading I’ve done, thousands of books, there’s nothing there,” Barton said during a 2015 interview with Glenn Beck.

While the Founders were certainly focused on tolerance for all religions, there is little to no evidence that they looked to Islam as a foundation for our nation.

CNN needs to disengage in their revisionist history reports on our nation’s founding.

Was Islam part of our nation’s founding?

G’day…Ciao…….
