Congressman says “There is No Collusion” between Trump and Russia, Investigation should End Now
Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-TX) is done with the foolish and partisan “investigations” into the Trump administration’s activities.
In a recent appearance on Fox News the rambunctious Texas Congressman spent five minutes tearing apart the arguments for the investigations, and explaining why it’s James Comey who should be under investigation, not President Trump. Gohmert further argued that Robert Mueller was a terrible candidate to handle any investigation into this matter because he has multiple conflicts of interest with this case.
However, Gohmert’s strongest arguments came when he outlined the truth that the real collusion happening in our government is actually being undertaken by Justice Department officials still loyal to the Obama administration. He also reminded America that if President Trump is “guilty of obstruction” then President Obama must also be guilty of “obstruction” because he partook in the same practice on many occasions.
We now know there is no collusion with this administration and Russia, so we can drop the independent counsel, special counsel, there is no further need and now that we know the collusion between Comey and Mueller, before he testified, he also ran things by other people in the justice department when they did the memo. there is so much collusion, real collusion in the Justice Department.
The reality is that the President is the head of the Executive Branch, and he was not implicated in the FBI investigation into Michael Flynn, which means that his decision to step in and discuss the investigation with Director Comey was not illegal. In fact, as Gohmert explains, Trump could have told Comey to drop the investigation and he would have been well within his rights to do so. Trump could have even told Comey, I am pardoning Flynn, so drop the case… and that would have been that.
The “investigation” into the possibility that Trump “obstructed justice” is a farce, and we don’t even know that it’s actually happening because the report is based on an anonymous source in an article from a liberal newspaper. This is simply more of the same new breed of “yellow journalism” that has infected the mainstream media today. There are no negative stories to report on President Trump so let’s talk about things that we have no evidence for in a way that makes the administration look bad. This is what passes for news today.
By the way, Gohmert outlined many of the DOJ’s problems just a few days ago:

Trump Advisor Made This Jaw Dropping Prediction About Trump Being Indicted
The political world is buzzing about the bombshell story that special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating Donald Trump for obstruction of justice.
Does he have a case?
A top Trump advisor revealed the truth about Trump’s status in the investigation.
Roger Stone has been a close Trump confidante for 40 years.
He initially worked on Trump’s presidential campaign before moving to an informal advisory role.
He blasted the reports that Mueller is investigating Trump for obstruction of justice and urged Trump to have the Department of Justice indict Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett and Susan Rice for their roles in the illegal spying during the 2016 election.
Mueller will indict @realDonaldTrump despite no case. POTUS should order DOJ to indict Rice,Jarrett and Obama on NSA spying.#checkmate
Trump himself tweeted the investigation was nonsense and based on the fake news Russia collusion story.
They made up a phony collusion with the Russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. Nice
These tweets came in response to an explosive Washington Post story where Deep State leakers revealed Mueller is investigating Trump for obstruction of justice when he fired FBI Director James Comey.
But Trump can’t be guilty of obstructing justice by firing the FBI Director.
The FBI reports to the Department of Justice, which reports to Trump.
Trump has every right to order an investigation shut down or to fire a FBI Director for conduct he deems inappropriate.
Famed Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz pointed out Trump can’t be accused of obstructing justice because his actions were Constitutional.
He wrote in an op-ed on Fox News.com:
“IN ANALYZING THE ISSUE OF WHETHER PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN BE GUILTY OF OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, TWO DISTINCT QUESTIONS MUST BE ADDRESSED. THE FIRST IS WHETHER TRUMP HAD THE CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY TO DO WHAT HE DID. THE SECOND IS, IF HE ACTED WITHIN HIS CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY, CAN HIS ACTIONS BE A CRIME IF THEY WERE IMPROPERLY MOTIVATED.
“IN ANALYZING THE ISSUE OF WHETHER PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN BE GUILTY OF OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, TWO DISTINCT QUESTIONS MUST BE ADDRESSED. THE FIRST IS WHETHER TRUMP HAD THE CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY TO DO WHAT HE DID. THE SECOND IS, IF HE ACTED WITHIN HIS CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY, CAN HIS ACTIONS BE A CRIME IF THEY WERE IMPROPERLY MOTIVATED.
THE ANSWER TO THE FIRST QUESTION SEEMS BEYOND DISPUTE NOW, THOUGH SOME SEEMED TO DISPUTE IT IN WEEKS PAST. AS COMEY HIMSELF TESTIFIED: “SPEAKING AS A LEGAL MATTER, THE PRESIDENT IS THE HEAD OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH AND IN THEORY… AND WE HAVE IMPORTANT NORMS AGAINST THIS …[CAN] DIRECT THAT ANYBODY CAN BE INVESTIGATED OR ANYBODY NOT BE INVESTIGATED.” HE IS CORRECT. AS A MATTER OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, THE PRESIDENT AS THE HEAD OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH MAY ORDER THE DIRECTOR OF THE FBI TO END HIS INVESTIGATION OF MICHAEL FLYNN AND MAY FIRE THE DIRECTOR FOR REFUSING TO OBEY HIS ORDER. HE COULD ALSO PARDON FLYNN (AS PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH PARDONED CASPAR WEINBERGER) THUS ENDING THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION OF FLYNN…
… WITH REGARD TO THE SECOND QUESTION, SOME HAVE ARGUED THAT EVEN IF TRUMP ACTED WITHIN HIS CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY, HE MAY STILL HAVE BEEN GUILTY OF OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE IF HIS ACTIONS WERE “CORRUPTLY” MOTIVATED OR INTENDED. THEY LOOK TO THESE VAGUE AND ELASTIC TERMS AS SATISFYING THE MENS REA REQUIREMENT FOR CRIME—THE MENTAL ELEMENT. BUT THIS IS A DANGEROUS ARGUMENT THAT WOULD TURN THE EXERCISE OF A PRESIDENT’S CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY INTO A CRIME BASED ON WHAT WAS IN THE PRESIDENT’S MIND. DO WE REALLY WANT TO GIVE A JURY THE POWER TO PROBE THE PRESIDENT’S MOTIVES AND INTENTIONS IN ORDER TO CONVICT HIM BASED ON WHAT HE WAS THINKING RATHER THAN WHAT HE WAS DOING? DO WE WANT THE ELECTED PRESIDENT TO BE SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION BASED ON A FINDING THAT HIS CONSTITUTIONALLY AUTHORIZED CONDUCT WAS “CORRUPTLY” MOTIVATED OR INTENDED? NO ONE WHO CARES ABOUT CIVIL LIBERTIES SHOULD BE WILLING TO GO DOWN THAT DANGEROUS ROAD. AND I DOUBT THAT THOSE WHO ARE MAKING THIS ARGUMENT WOULD BE DOING SO IF THE POLITICAL SHOE WERE ON THE OTHER FOOT—IF HILLARY CLINTON HAD BEEN ELECTED PRESIDENT AND THE REPUBLICANS WHO WERE YELLING “LOCK HER UP” WERE INVESTIGATING THE CLINTONS BASED ON EQUALLY VAGUE CRITERIA.”
The investigation into Trump is a witch hunt.
It was set in motion by James Comey leaking his memos in hopes a special counsel would be appointed.
His good friend Robert Mueller was tasked with the job, and now he is inventing crimes to investigate Trump for.
Roger Stone and Alan Dershowitz are correct.
There is no criminal case to be made against Trump, but the rigged investigation is plowing ahead anyway.
Jesuit Scholar: Islamic Extremists Are the True Muslims
by THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D
14
Islamic extremists who carry out acts of terror are simply applying what their faith requires of them, according to Jesuit Father Henri Boulad, an Islamic scholar of the Egyptian Greek Melkite rite.
In an interview with the National Catholic Register, Father Boulad said that “Islam is an open-ended declaration of war against non-Muslims” and those who carry out violent jihad are true Muslims who are applying exactly what their creed demands.
Those who fail to recognize the real threat posed by Islam are naïve and ignorant of history, he said, and unfortunately many in the Church fall into this category.
Citing a letter he wrote last August to Pope Francis, Father Boulad said that “on the pretext of openness, tolerance and Christian charity — the Catholic Church has fallen into the trap of the liberal left ideology which is destroying the West.”
“Anything that does not espouse this ideology is immediately stigmatized in the name of ‘political correctness,’” he said.
The priest went so far as to chastise Pope Francis himself—a fellow Jesuit—suggesting that he has fallen into this trap as well.
“Many think that a certain number of your positions are aligned with this ideology and that, from complacency, you go from concessions to concessions and compromises in compromises at the expense of the truth,” the priest wrote to Francis.
Christians in the West and in the East, he wrote the Pope, “are expecting something from you other than vague and harmless declarations that may obscure reality.”
“It is high time to emerge from a shameful and embarrassed silence in the face of this Islamism that attacks the West and the rest of the world. A systematically conciliatory attitude is interpreted by the majority of Muslims as a sign of fear and weakness,” he said.
“If Jesus said to us: Blessed are the peacemakers, he did not say to us: Blessed are the pacifists. Peace is peace at any cost, at any price. Such an attitude is a pure and simple betrayal of truth,” he said.
The priest also stated his belief that the West is in an ethical and moral debacle, and its defense of Islam is a denial of truth.
“By defending at all costs Islam and seeking to exonerate it from the horrors committed every day in its name, one ends up betraying the truth,” he wrote.
To back up his argument, Father Boulad enumerated a number of texts from the Koran that call on Muslims to employ violence in their conquest of the world for Allah.
The many passages he cited included: “Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them” (Koran 2:191), “Make war on the infidels living in your neighbourhood” (Koran 9:123), “When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them” (Koran 9:5), “Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam” (Koran 5:33), “Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies” (Koran 22:19), and “Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an” Koran 8:12.
Father Boulad is not the first Jesuit scholar to criticize the West for its naivete in dealing with Islam. Last year, Georgetown scholar Father James V. Schall contended that decades of students have been given a “sanitized education” that systematically excludes an honest portrayal of the history and theology of Islam, which limits their ability to assess what is going on in the world.
In his essay titled “Realism and Islam,” Father Schall argued that Islam “is actually and potentially violent throughout its entire history” and the basic reason for this method is religious in nature: “obedience to the Law of Allah.”
Therefore, he wrote, the Western tendency to simply call Muslim violence “terrorism” is insulting to believing Muslims who “see themselves carrying out the will of Allah, even sometimes to their own death in doing so.” Rather than terrorism, he insists, Muslims see their violence as “a religious endeavor to conquer the world,” which they understand to be “an act of piety.”
Because of this gaping educational void, “most citizens are simply not equipped to face the forces now reappearing in the world,” he wrote.
“And while it may be politically incorrect to state these things, they need to be stated and are in fact the truth—things that both Muslims and non-Muslims need to hear and consider,” he said.

Federal agents arrest Vagos motorcycle gang members in California, Nevada and Hawaii raids
Federal agents target a biker gang, arresting several members in the Inland Empire on suspicion of racketeering.
Federal agents launched a sweeping operation against the Vagos biker gang Friday, making arrests and conducting searches in a dozen cities throughout California, Nevada and Hawaii on Friday.
A grand jury indictment that was unsealed after the coordinated, early morning raids leveled charges against 23 people and accused them of playing various roles in the Vagos Outlaw Motorcycle Gang.
Prosecutors alleged in the indictment that the gang is a “highly organized criminal organization” and charged the targeted members with carrying out such serious crimes as murder, kidnapping, assault and drug possession.
Suspects arrested Friday morning were scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court later in the afternoon.
Trump’s Ultimate Revenge: The Economy is ROARING to Life
It was Bill Clinton’s campaign chief, James Carville, who said, “It’s the economy, stupid,” and it was one of the smartest things that’s ever come out of a liberal’s mouth. And it’s the mantra Democrats should be reciting to themselves as they devote all of their time, energy, and attention to making ridiculous allegations against President Donald Trump. The aforementioned Clinton survived his own impeachment process, largely because Americans were fat and happy in the late 1990s. We were collectively disgusted by what Slick Willie was up to in the Oval Office, offended by his arrogant lies under oath, and generally sick to death of both him and his wife. And still, a booming economy meant he got a much longer leash than he would have otherwise had.
Now, we can argue about how much of that economy was really Clinton’s doing and how much credit belongs to then-Speaker Newt Gingrich, but that’s beside the point. The buck stops at the White House. The president gets the blame and the credit – unless you’re Barack Obama, in which case the media gives you only praise for eight long years, regardless of what you actually do or don’t do.
The media is locked in a savage war against President Trump, but we’re going to bet that it’s still the economy, stupid. When all's said and done, low gas prices, a skyrocketing Dow Jones, and the addition of millions of jobs will mean much more than whisperings about Vladimir Putin. Americans are enjoying the drama right now, but, you know, we were enjoying the whole Monica Lewinsky scandal back in the day, too. Just because the country is obsessed with a story doesn’t mean they’re ready to throw the government into upheaval. And as long as the economy keeps roaring the way it has been for the last six months, it’s going to be damn hard for Democrats to push their arch enemy out of the White House.
While the Russia story and all of its side-stories sucks all the oxygen out of the room, the American economy is looking brighter than it has in a long, long time. Unemployment numbers haven’t been this low since the early days of the George W. Bush administration. The S&P 500 is up 12% since the day Trump defeated Hillary in a shocking upset. Overall economic growth could reach 2.3% by the end of 2017, a huge improvement over Obama’s final year in office.
These are the numbers that actually matter to American families that crave prosperity. And if they keep climbing, the Democrats are going to be in deep trouble when the next election comes around.
Concentration Camps in NK in Focus After Comatose American’s Return
By Andrew West
North Korea’s most prevalent sin as of late has been their defiant and illegal ballistic missile tests aimed at terrifying the United States.
The worry is, even though North Korea’s missiles are a shoddy collection of misfiring parts, once they are able to tip them with nuclear warheads, they will continue to launch them until one actually makes it to the United States. Kim Jong Un and his military have repeatedly threatened to wipe the U.S. off of the map with nuclear capabilities that no one is sure exist in the reclusive nation. Donald Trump and his high military leaders are certainly keeping an eye out for further infractions on Kim’s part, but with the return to America of Otto Warmbier, a former captive of the North Korean regime, a new focus is emerging.
Warmbier was returned by North Korea to the United States in a coma that was quickly whitewashed by the DPRK officials as a mysterious development. Now that doctors have determined that the American is actually in a vegetative state with little to no sentient brain activity, another sin of North Korea’s is coming back into the spotlight: Kim Jong Un’s continued use of Holocaust-style concentration camps.
“Officials at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where Warmbier is being treated, said that while there is no physical evidence he was beaten, his ‘extensive loss of brain tissue’ suggests he likely lost blood supply to his brain for a period of time.
“How that happened is up for debate, but after a seemingly healthy 22-year-old college student winds up with severe brain damage shortly after being sentenced to 15 years of labor, some experts are inclined to remind people about the kinds of brutality that regularly occur in North Korea’s infamous camps.
“Graphic video footage of what are reportedly interrogations at North Korean camps reveal that prisoners are bound at the hands as they are subjected to whatever cruelties the guards feel like inflicting. And, according to some former guards who have since defected, the level of cruelty is entirely up to them.
“In a 2014 documentary on life inside of North Korea’s labor camps, ‘Camp 14: Total Control Zone,’ one former labor camp official suggested that the guards at these camps serve as judge, jury and executioner.”
In such camps, the fact that Otto was an American was not likely overlooked. The North Koreans are indoctrinated from birth with an intense hatred for the American people and their government, likening the U.S.A. to an oppressive regime working with the rest of the world to stifle the DPRK’s progress and prosperity. Should these guards, loyal to the North Korean “supreme” leader, share this same hatred for America as other high-ranking military officials, there is no doubt that Warmbier would have been treated especially poorly.

When Lightning Strikes: What You Must Know
Some 300 people across the U.S. are hit each year — here's how to stay safe and prevent tragedy
Twenty-five million. That’s the number of times lightning strikes the U.S. each year.
You may want to keep that in mind especially in the week ahead, as June 18-24 is Lightning Safety Awareness Week.
“In general, we’ve seen a gradual decrease in fatalities over the years,” said John Jensenius, a lightning safety specialist at the National Weather Service (NWS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). “However, last year we saw a significant increase in fatalities, with 38.”
Last year's total was the highest number of lightning fatalities since 2007, when 45 people were killed. So far this year, at least one person has died from a lightning strike. That incident occurred in Colorado, which might be surprising given that the greatest amount of lightning in the U.S. occurs in southern states along the Gulf Coast.
Central Florida actually leads the country in terms of the density of lightning strikes.
"Based on the last 10 years, we estimate about 300 people are struck by lightning each year," added Jensenius, who is based in Gray, Maine. "Of those, about 30 people die, and some of the survivors are left with lifelong injuries."
A Connecticut man, Gary Jones (not his real name), is one such survivor. He was struck three separate times, once in a garage and twice in a house. Afterward he experienced ringing in his ears, joint and muscle pain, memory loss and concentration problems as a result of the lightning strike. But he is not alone. His experience is detailed alongside many lightning-strike survivor stories on a website used by the National Weather Service and NOAA to educate people on lightning science and safety.
John Jensenius said it is the combination of lightning and outdoor activities that puts people at risk.
"Florida leads the nation in lightning fatalities because it has many outdoor activities, which put people at risk combined with greatest concentration of lightning," he said. "I have never been struck by lightning, and I do not personally know anyone who was struck and killed by lightning, but I am occasionally contacted by a lightning survivor because of my work."
Protect yourself and your family. If you're going to be outside, have a plan to get to safety if a thunderstorm threatens.
"Check the latest weather forecast before heading out," recommended Jensenius. It's also wise, of course, to consider canceling or postponing activities if the forecast calls for thunderstorms, he said.
While outside, keep an eye to the sky for developing or approaching storms. If you're some distance from safety, start heading that direction at the first sign of a storm.
"If possible, also monitor weather conditions with a portable electronic device."
If you hear thunder or if the sky looks threatening, get inside a substantial building or a hardtopped metal vehicle immediately.
"While inside, don't touch anything that is plugged into an electrical outlet," he advised. "Stay off corded phones, and wait to take a shower or wash dishes while staying away from exterior doors and windows."
Finally, wait 30 minutes after the last rumble of thunder before returning to normal activities.
Yes, it could happen to you. These tips may seem silly and obvious. But David Smith (not his real name) of Pinson, Alabama, probably did not think it was a big deal when he went in the bathroom to take a shower — and got struck by lightning. The same for Hope Henry (also not her real name) of Omaha, Nebraska. She was struck while outside waiting for a concert and fireworks to begin.
An outdoor venue like this may be the last place people would think about seeing lightning, given that good weather is needed for concerts and fireworks. But just because it is not raining or there are no clouds overhead does not mean complete safety from lightning.
Lightning, in fact, often strikes more than three miles from the center of the thunderstorm, far outside the rain or thunderstorm cloud. And don't be fooled by the myth that lightning never strikes the same place twice. Lightning often does strike the same place repeatedly — especially if that place is a tall, pointy or isolated object such as a skyscraper.
The website of lightning-strike survivor stories already has too many names. Don't be a statistic. Be safe instead.

Shooter James Hodgkinson Had List of Other Pro-Life Congressmen to Assassinate in His Pocket
The man responsible for shooting pro-life Congressman Steve Scalise apparently had a hit list of other pro-life members of Congress to assassinate. According to a news report today, law enforcement officials found the list of other pro-life Congressman in the pocket of shooter James Hodgkinson.
Scalise was one of four people shot while at a practice baseball game in Alexandria, Virginia, shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday. The shooting suspect, James Hodgkinson, was killed by police. Scalise was shot in the hip and several Capitol police officers were also victims of the shooting. Because he is part of the Republican leadership, Scalise has protection from the US Capitol Police.
The news that the shooter had a list of names suggests the shooting was not a random outburst, but instead appears to be a premeditated political assassination.
The list was written out on notepad paper and found in the shooter’s pocket, according to multiple sources with intimate knowledge of the situation, who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing the sensitivity of the investigation. The list of names included Alabama Rep. Mo Brooks, South Carolina Rep. Jeff Duncan and Arizona Rep. Trent Franks, TheDC has confirmed.
The FBI has contacted at least one of the three congressmen to inform them of their inclusion on the list.
None of the three offices would offer comments on the record when asked about the names on the list. Brooks and Franks’ office further directed all inquiries to the Capitol police, who declined to comment. The FBI’s Washington field office, which is handling the investigation, also provided no comment, citing the ongoing investigation.
All three representatives are members of the House Freedom Caucus, which contains the lower chamber’s most conservative members. Both Duncan and Brooks attended Wednesday’s baseball practice.
James T. Hodgkinson, 66, of Belleville, Illinois, was identified by law enforcement officials as the gunman who opened fire on Republican lawmakers at a Virginia baseball field, and he has died from his injuries, President Donald Trump said Wednesday.
“The assailant has now died from his injuries,” Trump said in comments about the shooting.
Scalise sustained a single rifle shot to the left hip. The bullet traveled across his pelvis — fracturing bones, injuring internal organs, and causing severe bleeding. He was transported in shock to MedStar Washington Hospital Center, a Level I Trauma Center.
Scalise underwent immediate surgery and an additional procedure to stop bleeding. He has received multiple units of blood transfusion. His condition is critical, and he will require additional operations, the hospital indicated.
Hodgkinson, reportedly an avid supporter of and campaign volunteer for pro-abortion Sen. Bernie Sanders, was shot and mortally wounded by police before being taken into custody.
There is no doubt about the shooter’s politics. A Washington Post reporter said that Hodgkinson’s Facebook page was “an extended screed against Trump.” A recent post by Hodgkinson said, “Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.” He often used profanities when referring to the president
Congressman Scalise is a prominent pro-life Advocate in Congress with a longstanding record fighting abortion.
He led the effort calling on the Obama Administration to reverse its unconstitutional mandate forcing religious organizations to include drugs that can cause abortion and birth control in the health care plans of their employees.
“This radical mandate by the Obama Administration is an attack on the religious freedoms guaranteed to all Americans by the Bill of Rights,” Scalise, a pro-life Republican from Louisiana, said. “Religious organizations and hard-working taxpayers should not be forced by the federal government to pay for abortion-inducing drugs, contraceptives, or sterilizations in their health care plans.”
“This is an offensive example of Obamacare’s violation of the conscience rights of American employers just so this Administration can force their radical agenda on hardworking taxpayers,” Scalise continues. “We are calling on the Obama Administration to reverse this offensive mandate in order to allow any employer that opposes mandated coverage of abortion-inducing drugs and other contraceptives to seek an exemption out of respect for their religious rights. I’m proud to stand with the vast majority of Americans who respect religious freedom in demanding that this mandate be reversed, and I will continue working tirelessly with other Members of Congress to prevent this attack on the Bill of Rights.”
He has also strongly supported efforts to defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business.
“The right to life is our most precious gift from God, and it is offensive and unacceptable that a single cent of taxpayer dollars would be sent to an organization that systematically aborts infants and sells their body parts. House Republicans will continue to promote a culture that respects life at every stage,” he told LifeNews.
