President Trump

The Obama administration spied on the Trump campaign 
and the media refuse to call it spying


Attorney General William Barr has finally confirmed what has been obvious for
months now - the Obama administration spied on Donald Trump's presidential
campaign. Nothing like this has happened in modern American history.

There is no disputing the points that Barr made, especially the first one. Spying on
a presidential campaign is a big deal, especially when it was authorized by a rival
administration. Just imagine if, a year from now, the Trump administration allowed
the FBI to surveil officials in the Kamala Harris for President campaign.

Imagine if when caught, Trump pointed to opposition research generated by the
Republican National Committee as justification for that surveillance. How would the
media react to that story?

CNN only cares about evidence if a Democrat is involved
Barr says spying on Trump campaign 'did occur,' but provides no evidence

"I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal," Barr said, echoing some of the more inflammatory claims lobbed by the President for months, but declining to elaborate on his concerns. "I think spying did occur."

Hit Gas, Not Brakes, On Spygate
I’d be careful about reporting that Obama said there was no wiretapping,” Jon Favreau,
one of Obama’s speechwriters, tweeted out in 2017. Members of the media, loath to let
anything complicate their anti-Trump propaganda, chided him for this unhelpful slip and
he quickly withdrew it, saying that he deferred to James Clapper’s denial of any wiretaps.

But Favreau had already given himself away. In retrospect, the tweet is even more telling
and confirms that knowledge of the spying was widespread at Obama’s White House. If a
White House speechwriter far from the action knew about warrants on Carter Page, Paul
Manafort, and Michael Flynn, who didn’t?

First two are way too easy.  I Spy (the TV show, not the movie) and Get Smart (the movie, not the TV show).  The last I did not see before (looks like Peter Sellers with the glasses, but it could be someone else).  Possibly "Doctor Strangelove or How I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb" or "the Mouse that roared"?   (:)

Yes I agree with the first two, and while Peter Sellers did some obscure films I do not recall it. It certainly looks like P. Sellers. My guess is something from Monty Python.

Just my opinion about the TV show and movies.  I never saw the movie version of "I Spy", but did watch the TV show.  Usually, most movie remakes of TV shows end up as a dud.  A few exceptions are the real actor remakes of the cartoon super heroes.  And some of the Sci-Fi movie remakes.  I did watch both the "Get Smart" TV show and movie.  The movie version did not feel amusing for me.  I sold the DVD after one viewing.   :Zzzzsleep:   I have not seen "Dr. Strangelove" or the "Mouse that roared".  I did see the "Prisoner of Zenda" with Peter Sellers (along with his last wife) and I was sure the movie photo scene was not in that movie which had a lot of castle scenery.

Actually, that was my first impression that it had some connection to Monty Python. But then seeing Peter Sellers in the photo, I thought that he was never in a Monty Python show or movie.  ???

The Soviet mob of disgusting and dishonest thugs is hoping to get President Trump’s most recent Supreme Court Justice banned from teaching at George Mason University. Thankfully the University is standing their ground and supporting the Justice.


https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.foxnews.com/politics/clinton-official-george-mason-kavanaugh-allegations.amp


Kavanaugh is set to teach students of the university’s Antonin Scalia Law School next summer in the United Kingdom as a distinguished visiting professor, with the class reportedly having no more spaces left due to overwhelming interest.

Enjoy The Mouse That Roared and marvel at the parallels to events of the time (and today). It looks like this is a playlist for the full movie, not a single file.

Donald Trump has for many years expressed his vision for the United States.    President Trump has made much of those visions reality.

Sleepy Joe Biden

Sleepy Joe Biden entered the presidential contest as the 20th Democrat
in the race to the left sweepstakes and leads Socialist Crazy Bernie
by 6 points in the latest poll.



Joe Biden has more than a few skeletons in the closet as the Chinese
delivered payola to his son Hunter Biden, who road on airforce one and
collected A ONE BILLION DOLLAR investment from the Bank of China.

Biden's bid shows just how much in disarray the Democrats are right now. It seems to me that having so many candidates is simply going to confuse the sheeple and split the field. As the field narrows down the thinning field will be obliged to take on the whackadoodle policy ideas of their fallen competitors in order to pull in the votes of the voters who previously supported the failures and you'll be left with a platform of madness that folks with half a brain will reject.

Whether Trump is a good or bad president and candidate is hardly relevant right now, all he has to do is watch while the Democrats self-immolate.

I am coming to understand just how the Bush education policy mantra 'no child left behond' manifests itself. It isn't about bringing the followers up to the leaders but rather, the leaders fall back to meet the followers.  :'( :hidechair:

And NWO Media Heads Exploding...

BAM...  https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump?lang=en

Sunday S&P Globex futures gapped sharply down - Fin Media Talking heads already blaming Trump...

Stock market slumps on Trump tweet and Hawkish fed

Stock markets got hammered today as Donald Trump announced sudden plans to increase tariffs on China to 25% from 10%.

Also, the Federal Reserve hawkishness puts a bearish tone in the stock market right as it hit fresh all time highs.

You know the saying - markets don't crash from lows, they crash from highs.

Yet a rational observer sees that Rocketman the ChiComms marionette launches a couple of temper tantrum missiles into the Ocean and the Trump Patriots say OK China - Dragging your feet on De-Nukeing NoKor AND on Finalizing true reciprocal trade - that March moratorium on raising the 10% China tariffs to 25% JUST ENDED.

"Sudden Plans" was a dead NWO Deep State media give away.

increase tariffs on China to 25% from 10%... Predict Democrat Peoples Marxist Socialist Party leftists and NWO Media heads all explode live on Monday Morning news and CNBC Communist News Business Channel all day long.

Point is Trump back on Trump Time counterpunching where it matters.

Let's see how the Motley Fool Top 5 China ETFs (July 2017) do this week - the Markets deal with what is - not Utopian what should be.

iShares China Large-Cap (NYSEMKT:FXI) $3.27 billion

iShares MSCI China (NYSEMKT: MCHI) $2.59 billion

Meanwhile in the world where we use English and not some mentally disturbed pigin tongue; Trump has been engaged in manipulating the markets because he believes that high numbers are good. He does understand that tarrifs are a tax on the people of the USA and have little to no effect upon China. We know he understands this because he told us that the U.S. economy was doing well due to the tarrif revenues.

Meanwhile, as the Chinese set up supply networks that exclude the United States, farmers are losing their homes and businesses because of Trump's masterful understanding of macroeconomics.

And the United States continues its program of self-isolation. At least USAians will have the fig leaf of blaming everyone else in the world for the isolation they find themselves 'enjoying'.

Importers to American may be American or from some other country. Importers pay the tax to the American government. Importers may or may not apply the cost to the consumer. If importers raise the price, Americans can avoid the tax by not buying. Most will simply be discouraged from buying Chinese products due to their high price. Importers will then open manufacturing plants in other Asian nations and avoid China.

Trump has taken tariff money and given aid to farmers and other industries hurt during this trade war. Trump is doing what our past weak presidents couldn't do and that is hurt some people's feelings by telling them they have protectionist policies against American products and they steal our intellectual property. When this is over, China will buy more American products and will prosecute those we point out that are stealing or copying our intellectual property. Chinese thieves will have to focus on copying European products instead and leave America's alone. If China doesn't enter into an agreement, America will look for other nations to replace them. When I was a kid, everything was made in Taiwan. Now everything is made in China. That could change again for us.

As for America's economy. It's going strong. The experts who predicted a collapse with a Trump presidency was very wrong. Unemployment is extremely low and it's now hard to find good workers from what's available.
Over 220 generals and admirals say we are in a fight for our survival like no other time since 1776. If you want to stop the war in Ukraine, fix elections, stop medical tyranny and forced vaccinations, lower inflation and make America and the world a better place, get Trump back into power. The Democrats and Republicans have shown they can't do the job. They are good at robbing us and getting people killed in non stop wars.

Those are legitimate concerns for sure. We’re hoping a deal with the Chinese will get done soon. However it was long overdue that we have a President with the balls to stand up to Chinese theft of intellectual property, etc.

Our economy is very strong overall and getting better. A win win deal with the Chinese will be icing on the cake.
