This Ex-POW Senator Never Sold Out Conservatives, So Media All But Ignored Death Compared to McCain’s
BY CILLIAN ZEAL
"In his book “When Hell Was In Session,” Adm. Jeremiah Denton described a life-changing personal encounter he had with God while being tortured in a rodent-infested North Vietnamese prison cell:Before we begin this article, let’s first address all the objections people who are already firing off emails based on the headline will have: Sen. John McCain deserved to be honored. Many of us here at the Western Journal may have disagreed with him or the politicization of his death, but he was a war hero who served his country both in the military and through public service.
The funny thing, however, is that the media never praised McCain’s public service unless it involved selling out conservatives. Other than that, he was considered a far-right-wing racist reactionary whose choice of Sarah Palin as his running mate brought about a time of populist “shedding and cold rocks.”
But, as was pointed out time and time again during the memorial service and funeral, McCain was a POW. That’s what we were honoring — not the fact that McCain occasionally engaged in the kind of “bipartisanship” the media likes, which is the kind in which the compromise involves Republicans doing what Democrats want and Democrats not calling them racist for once. Right?
Well, as the American Spectator pointed out, when another Vietnam POW who went on to serve as a senator died, we didn’t exactly have the Capitol Rotunda affair that we had for McCain.
“Six years before McCain’s election to the Senate, Alabama voters sent retired Rear Adm. Jeremiah Denton to Washington’s upper chamber,” Joseph P. Duggan wrote in a piece published Sunday.
Denton was in detention longer and had a more distinguished military career before his imprisonment in Vietnam after his A6A Intruder was shot down.
“After their release in 1973, Denton and McCain continued naval service. Denton was promoted to rear admiral and served as commandant of the Armed Services Staff College before retiring in 1977. McCain overcame catastrophic injuries and torture to return to the air pilot’s seat. In 1977, the Navy assigned him to Capitol Hill as its liaison (de facto lobbyist) to the Senate,” Duggan wrote.
“In civilian life, Denton found a place as one of the first Catholic intellectuals to make common cause with the populist, largely Evangelical Protestant ‘religious right’ of Jerry Falwell’s Moral Majority and Pat Robertson’s movement. He moved to his native Mobile, where he turned down suggestions to run for the Senate in 1978 for the seat won that year by Democrat Howell Heflin.
“Two years later, Denton decided to run for the Senate as a Republican. Despite a huge disadvantage in fundraising, he stunned the GOP establishment by winning the primary against its anointed favorite, a former Democratic congressman who had switched parties after leaving office and as the conservative state gravitated towards the Republican column,” he added.
“The national mainstream media welcomed Sen. Denton to the capital with the same sort of respect and affection they always have shown to other Alabama social-issues conservatives such as Roy Moore or the pre-recusant Jeff Sessions.”
Denton lost in 1986, the same year that McCain was elected to the Senate. Duggan points out differences between Denton and McCain, the biggest of which, he said, was their level of self-aggrandizement.
“Senators normally have very big egos, and Denton was normal in this sense,” he wrote. “McCain was an outlier — an extraordinary egomaniac — even within a universe of enormous egos.”
Denton died in 2014 at the age of 89.
“He was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery. His funeral did not preempt television coverage of soap-operas, sitcoms, or sporting events. His pallbearers did not include Warren Beatty, but no one, obscure or famous, was told not to attend the ceremony,” Duggan wrote.
And that was the catch — that McCain was anti-Trump. Yes, he may have gotten his party’s nomination for president, but let’s see how much coverage Michael Dukakis’ death warrants.
McCain didn’t like the current president. Everything else was pretty much irrelevant, including (especially) his POW status. Just ask Jeremiah Denton’s family.
The Pope faced the one call he never thought he would receive
Pope Francis’ time as leader of the Catholic Church is filled with controversy.
The liberal Pontiff crossed conservatives on a number of issues.
But now he is facing the one crisis that could spell the end.
The scandal surrounding Cardinal Theodore McCarrick abusing young boys for decades continues to grow.
Reports surfaced that Pope Francis knew about McCarrick’s abuse and looked the other way.
That is leading to figures inside and outside the Church calling for Francis to resign.
Breitbart reports:
A growing number of American Catholics are calling for an investigation into the allegations that Pope Francis ignored Cardinal Theodore McCarrick’s record of sexually abusing priests, seminarians, and laypeople, including minors. Some Catholics are even calling for the pope to resign.
The calls from Catholic bishops, organizations, and media outlets for Pope Francis to be investigated and/or resign have come after the former Vatican ambassador to the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, released an 11-page affidavit Saturday alleging that Pope Francis turned a blind eye to McCarrick’s behavior.
Viganò’s affidavit specifically claimed that Pope Francis lifted Pope Benedict’s “canonical sanctions” on the disgraced cardinal imposed between 2009-2010 that forbade him from interacting with the public in an official capacity, and Viganò alleged Francis did this despite knowing of the serious allegations against McCarrick.
Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), released a statement Sunday calling for an impartial investigation into the allegations against Pope Francis.
Francis has not presented evidence or testimony disputing Viganò’s accusations.
That is leading many Catholics to agree with the calls for an impartial and thorough investigation into this matter.
The Pope possibly covering up the sexual abuse of young boys has the potential to devastate the Catholic Church around the world.
Catholics are owed answers and accountability.
We will keep you up-to-date on any new developments in this story.

Robert Mueller’s witch hunt against Donald Trump just took a shocking turn for the worse
Robert Mueller’s witch hunt against President Trump is focusing in on a June 2016 Trump Tower meeting.
Donald Trump, Jr. met with a group of Russians who promised dirt on Hillary Clinton.
And newly revealed testimony exposed the truth about Mueller’s investigation.
Anti-Trump journalists salivated over the revelation that Donald Trump, Jr. took a meeting with a Russian lawyer promising dirt on Hillary Clinton.
Trump, Jr. was approached by Rob Goldstone, a music producer known to the Trump family from the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant.
Goldstone pitched the meeting as part of the Russian government’s support for Trump.
This smelled like the first evidence of collusion.
But like every supposed bombshell, this fizzled out under closer scrutiny.
No information changed hands.
The Russians actually wanted the meeting to lobby the Trump campaign about supporting easing sanctions on Russian adoption.
And Goldstone testified he had no idea if the government was actually supporting Trump.
He testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee that he wrote that email based on how he saw Russian officials speaking of Trump on TV.
Breitbart reports Goldstone testified:
What I meant in that was that I had been, at that time, probably 12 or 13 times to Russia, including I had been in Russia with Mr. Trump during the Miss Universe Organization pageant. I had seen and heard first hand people of all levels, whether it was business people, whether it was friends of Emin, friends of his father, talk in very glowing terms about Mr. Trump. I had also seen on television in Russia many, many reports in which government officials, including the President, Mr. Putin, had praised Mr. Trump, who, in turn, I had seen on CNN had praised Mr. Putin.
So what I was trying to say there was, look, here, Emin may have this information. This is yet another example of Russian support for you and your father.
If Mueller is holding out hope that the Trump Tower meeting will produce evidence of collusion it is just another example that his investigation is a witch hunt based on a hoax.
Iraq Vet Shares Her Heartbreaking Response to Bush Trashing Trump at McCain Funeral
Former President George W. Bush was among those invited to attend and speak at Saturday’s memorial service for late Senator John McCain. His words, while well-spoken, seemed to some to also be yet another political jab at a sitting president — something he said during former President Barack Obama’s tenure was “bad for the country,” and not an appropriate thing to do.
While some members of the public cheered and felt it was justified, not all agreed with that sentiment. One woman, an Iraq War veteran, took particular exception to Bush’s participation in the cavalcade of the politicization of a funeral:
#GeorgeWBush you trashed Trump supporters today. Let me tell you, I was that 19yo girl you sent to war in Iraq that adored you for everything you did for us. I cried today hearing you trash me. You sent us to war & then backstabbed us today. I hope it was worth it. #McCainFuneral
12:11 AM - Sep 2, 2018
During Bush’s eulogy for McCain, he made several pointed references. CBS News provided a transcript of his remarks for the public.
At one point, Bush spoke about McCain’s confrontational nature. “At various points throughout his long career, John confronted policies and practices that he believed were unworthy of his country.”
“To the face of those in authority, John McCain would insist: We are better than this. America is better than this.”
Mediaite noted several excerpts that read like subtle digs at Trump. “Bush — who defeated McCain in the 2000 Republican presidential primary — said that the Arizona senator ‘detested the abuse of power and could not abide bigots and swaggering despots.'”
“He respected the dignity inherent in every life, a dignity that does not stop at borders and cannot be erased by dictators.”
Some on social media denied any kind of bashing of Trump took place. Some emphasized political harmony, and the establishment media was quick to point out an exchange between Bush and Former First Lady Michelle Obama.
It involved Bush passing a piece of candy from his wife, Former First Lady Laura Bush, to Obama. It was cheered as a tender moment between former political rivals.
George W Bush passes Michelle Obama a sweet during the funeral of John McCain. The Obama and Bush families have had a friendly bond for the last decade in the public eye.
Arizona’s Senator Jeff Flake also joined in on celebrating unity across party lines. He summed it up with a photo and one-word statement on Twitter:
Decency Wins
But for all the seeming embrace of unity across political lines by the establishment media and others, that was not all that they were talking about. A common — and contradictory — refrain through establishment media’s reporting was also that President Donald Trump was being bashed by one speaker after another at the funeral.
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews even referred to McCain’s funeral as “a statement of resistance.” He was joined on “AM Joy” by 2008 senior campaign adviser for McCain, Steve Schmidt, who went further, stating, “there was an inherent political meaning in this funeral.”
He elaborated, “And it was a fundamental rebuke to the vileness, the corruption the self-centeredness, the selfishness, the cruelty that we see emanate from the Oval Office in the form of President Donald J. Trump every day.”
For all the decrying of Trump that comes from some, something that continually gets missed is how he got to the Oval Office. Voters made it clear all during his campaign — and since — that they were sick of the status quo.
If the elites don’t like this sentiment, some would say that they only have themselves to blame for it.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board has thrown one of their former journalists, Glenn Simpson, completely under the bus over his firm's political hit-jobs for hire - including feeding twice-demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr damaging "misinformation" in the Trump-Russia investigation.
Now we’re learning how this misinformation got around, and the evidence points to Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS, the outfit that financed the infamous Steele dossier. -WSJ
Via the WSJ Editorial BoardAnatomy of a Fusion Smear
Democrats and their media friends made false claims about a lawyer.
Cleta Mitchell is a top campaign-finance lawyer in Washington, D.C. This year she’s also been the target of a political and media smear that reveals some of the nastiness at work in the allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Cleta Mitchell, a partner at Foley & Lardner in Washington, D.C., Feb. 6, 2014. PHOTO: PABLO MARTINEZ MONSIVAIS/ASSOCIATED PRESSA partner at Foley & Lardner, Ms. Mitchell was astonished to find herself dragged into the Russia investigation on March 13 when Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee issued an interim report. They wrote that they still wanted to interview “key witnesses,” including Ms. Mitchell, who they claimed was “involved in or may have knowledge of third-party political outreach from the Kremlin to the Trump campaign, including persons linked to the National Rifle Association (NRA).”
Two days later the McClatchy news service published a story with the headline “NRA lawyer expressed concerns about group’s Russia ties, investigators told.” The story cited two anonymous sources claiming Congress was investigating Ms. Mitchell’s worries that the NRA had been “channeling Russia funds into the 2016 elections to help Donald Trump.”
Ms. Mitchell says none of this is true. She hadn’t done legal work for the NRA in at least a decade, had zero contact with it in 2016, and had spoken to no one about its actions. She says she told this to McClatchy, which published the story anyway.
Now we’re learning how this misinformation got around, and the evidence points to Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS, the outfit that financed the infamous Steele dossier. New documents provided to Congress show that Mr. Simpson, a Fusion co-founder, was feeding information to Justice Department official Bruce Ohr. In an interview with House investigators this week, Mr. Ohr confirmed he had known Mr. Simpson for some time, and passed at least some of his information along to the FBI.
In handwritten notes dated Dec. 10, 2016 that the Department of Justice provided to Congress and were transcribed for us by a source, Mr. Ohr discusses allegations that Mr. Simpson made to him in a conversation. The notes read: “A Russian senator (& mobster) . . . [our ellipsis] may have been involved in funneling Russian money to the NRA to use in the campaign. An NRA lawyer named Cleta Mitchell found out about the money pipeline and was very upset, but the election was over.”
A spokesman for Adam Schiff, ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, says the “Minority did not speak with Mr. Simpson or Fusion GPS about this,” though he declined to disclose who named Ms. Mitchell. Our sources say they can’t remember Ms. Mitchell coming up in any of the documents collected or witness interviews conducted for the investigation. So how did Mr. Schiff get his tip? Fusion’s media friends? Mr. Ohr? The FBI? Fusion GPS and Mr. Simpson did not answer a request for comment.
Ms. Mitchell says the fallout for her goes beyond inconvenience and a false allegation. Mr. Schiff’s team in May sent her a letter demanding testimony and documents, though no one in Mr. Schiff’s office alerted her before naming her in an official document.
She received similar demands from Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr, who wanted Ms. Mitchell to turn over records related to “the transfer of money, or anything of value” between her and several Russians. After Ms. Mitchell in May responded that she had no information related to any of those Russians and accused the committee of being duped by “Glenn Simpson & Co.,” she heard nothing more.
But social media attacks on her haven’t ended. “That allegation impugns my ethical integrity and professional reputation,” she says, one reason she’s calling for Mr. Simpson to be prosecuted for lying to a federal official.
The Russian collusion accusations ginned up by Fusion at the behest of a law firm working for the Clinton campaign haven’t been corroborated despite two years of investigations. But no one should forget the smears that they and their media mouthpieces peddled along the way.

Chick-fil-A store pays workers while closed for renovations
by Jerry McCormick
Photo Courtesy of Mike Mozart via Creative Commons LicenseChick-fil-A gets a bad rap from liberals, but the fast food chain and its ownership do far more for the community than people realize.
In Indiana, one franchise owner closed his restaurant for remodeling, but he is going to keep his staff working by paying them to do community service until the store is ready to open again.
Hated by Liberals
For those not familiar with the food chain, a company rule is all stores are closed on Sundays.
This is done so employees have at least one day a week to set aside for worship, family, and rest.
Religious observance is obviously not mandated for company employees, but it influences the chain’s philosophy of ensuring quality of life for its employees.
“We don’t claim to be a Christian business,” said Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy. “But as an organization we can operate on biblical principles.”
That, however, has been a talking point of liberals since the company first opened its doors. And when Cathy said that he supports the “traditional family,” the left really got mad.
Community
What liberals fail to recognize is the strong sense of community that is promoted by these stores.
Surf the internet and you will regularly see stories of Chick-fil-A owners, managers, and employees doing something charitable.
We have seen them feed homeless people, dedicate tables to our veterans, and do wonderful things in their community.
In this particular case, the owner could have left his staff and the community high and dry for the three months of the store’s renovation.
Rather than do that, though, he decided to make sure his employees continue to earn their paychecks while also giving back to the community that supports his business.
His staff will now be deployed to local schools, parks, rec centers, non-profits, and a local center that helps homeless people “transition back to work.”
With the loss of business, the cost of renovations, and paychecks for his staff, this man is probably putting himself out hundreds of thousands of dollars.
That is not good enough for liberals, though.
They would rather celebrate the likes of Rev. Al Sharpton, who is an outright racist, has called for the death of police, and skipped out on paying his taxes.
Lawsuit: Clinton campaign laundered $84 million in violation of federal campaign finance law by Ben Baird
Karen Murphy / CCLConsumed with pursuing President Donald Trump and hopeful that they can bring an early end to his political career, Democrats are ignoring a colossal newsbreak.
A new lawsuit filed in D.C. district court by the Committee to Defend the President last week alleges that the Hillary Clinton campaign laundered $84 million through state and national Democratic Party offices in a scheme to violate campaign limits.
Dan Backer, a campaign-finance lawyer and attorney-of-record in the suit, said the Democrats “demonstrated massive straw man contributions papered through the state parties, to the DNC, and then directly to Clinton’s campaign — in clear violation of federal campaign-finance law.”
Caught red-handed
Backer, whose 86-page report documenting violations from Clinton and the DNC was ultimately ignored by Federal Election Commission (FEC) officials, explained in an article for Investors Business Daily that individual campaign donations are limited by the size and structure of the recipient.
“[A]n individual donor can contribute $2,700 to any candidate, $10,000 to any state party committee, and (during the 2016 cycle) $33,400 to a national party’s main account,” Backer wrote. “These groups can all get together and take a single check from a donor for the sum of those contribution limits—it’s legal because the donor cannot exceed the base limit for any one recipient. And state parties can make unlimited transfer to their national party.”
Although both Democrats and Republicans take advantage of a legal loophole that allows fundraisers to accept massive donations, often in excess of $400,000, from a single donor — so long as they are first filtered through state, national, and individual campaigns and committees. However, Backer explained in his FEC complaint, “extensive evidence in the Democrats’ own FEC reports” demonstrates that the Clinton campaign benefited from receiving massive contributions that were said to come from state party coffers and through the DNC straight to the Hillary Victory Fund (HVF) in 2015 and 2016.
But there was one problem: while the HVF would receive these large donations on the same day as the DNC received the funds from the state party representatives, the state Democratic committees had no records of these transfers.
The Federalist reporter Margot Cleveland provided a fitting example to illustrate HVF’s standard operating procedure: “HVF reported transferring $19,500 to the Mississippi Democratic Party on November 2, 2015, and the Democratic National Committee reported receiving $19,500 from the Mississippi Democratic Party on November 2, 2015. But the Mississippi Democratic Party never recorded the receipt or the disbursement of the $19,500, and without the Mississippi Democratic Party controlling the funds, the HVF’s contribution to the DNC violated campaign finance law.”
The Clinton campaign and DNC effectively leap-frogged the state party apparatus on at least 30 occasions over a 13-month span, raking in at least $10 million in illegal campaign contributions. Incidentally, 99 percent of the funds that the state committees received from HFV ended up back with the DNC after a day or two, implying that states were forced to relinquish control to the DNC and Clinton.
According to Politico, “one operative who has relationships with multiple state parties said that some of their officials have complained that they weren’t notified of the transfers into and out of their accounts until after the fact.”
As former DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile explained when she blew the whistle on campaign finance fraud within the party, “[a]s Hillary’s campaign gained momentum, she resolved the party’s debt and put it on a starvation diet. It had become dependent on her campaign for survival, for which she expected to wield control of its operations.”
Break glass in case of emergency
With that, it appears that Clinton used the DNC as a clearinghouse for her campaign, even before she’d won the DNC’s nomination, and sucking state committees dry in the process.
While a Supreme Court ruling from 2014 makes it explicitly clear that the DNC-HVP stunt was a blatant violation of finance law, FEC commissioners have failed to take action due to an archaic bipartisan power-sharing agreement. However, to bypass Democrats refusal to name an FEC commissioner, thus moving forward with FEC litigation, FEC Vice Chair Ellen Weintraub noted that Congress foresaw this obstructive scenario.
“Fire alarms are sometimes housed in boxes labeled ‘Break glass in case of emergency,’” Weintraub observed. In this case, the “fire alarm” is a provision in the Federal selections Campaign Act that allows complainants to sue directly when the FEC fails to resolve their issues.
Backer and the Committee to Defend the President are doing just that by taking HVP to court. Hopefully, when Clinton’s crimes are enumerated in a court of law, the media will finally take notice.
