Stunning Coverup Maneuver – Obama NSC Move All Intelligence Unmasking Material To Obama Library To Avoid Sunlight… | The Last Refuge

Stunning Coverup Maneuver – Obama NSC Move All Intelligence Unmasking Material To Obama Library To Avoid Sunlight… | The Last Refuge:

"The latest jaw dropping maneuver by the former Obama White House crew specifically targets how to cover-up the latter issue.
A FOIA request from Judicial Watch to the Obama NSC seeking information about the unmasking activities of National Security Advisor Susan Rice and the National Security Council receives a response that all documentation has been moved to the Obama Library."

Real Scandals The Trump-Obsessed Media Are Ignoring | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD
"Media Bias:
As news outlets dissect every new crumb in the alleged Trump-Russia-collusion scandal, they're largely ignoring other, very troubling scandals that happen to involve the previous administration.
So far, and no doubt to the disappointment of many Trump haters, the Russia scandal has been going nowhere fast.
Eleven months of investigating has so far turned up no hard evidence that there was any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to interfere with the November elections.
While that scandal drags on, however, several others have taken surprising turns. 
Not that you'd know it from the coverage these are getting from the mainstream press.

• Unmasking Scandal: On Monday, Judicial Watch announced that it hit a dead end in its effort to dig out information about why White House advisor Susan Rice ordered an "unmasking" of Trump campaign officials in classified reports. In response to Judicial Watch's April 4 request for materials related to these unmasking requests — to determine whether they were politically motivated — the National Security Council said it had sent all those records to Obama's presidential library, where they can't be released for five years...
• Loretta Lynch Scandal: Despite blanket coverage of James Comey's testimony about his firing by Trump, few noted the bombshell Comey dropped about Obama's attorney general, Loretta Lynch, who, Comey said, pressured him to downplay the significance of the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's reckless handling of classified emails on her private server. Comey said Lynch told him to call it a "matter," not an investigation...
• NSA Spying Scandal: In late May, Circa News published a truly bombshell report about how the National Security Agency had been conducting illegal searches on American citizens for years, "routinely violat(ing) American privacy protections while scouring through overseas intercepts." In addition, the administration "failed to disclose the extent of the problems until the final days before Donald Trump was elected president last fall..."

Nothing to see here. 
Move along.

"...One hundred years ago, nearly 90 percent white Baltimore saw the construction of the city’s water infrastructure, which is still in use today.
In 70 percent black Baltimore, best estimates show at least 16 percent of city’s residents get free water…
Of course, the city is 70 percent black today, and losing citizens (it’s white population is below 25 percent and dropping) on a daily basis.

Jason Riley: Obama Presidency, Black "Political Saviors" Haven't Paid Off For Black Community | Video | RealClearPolitics

Jason Riley: Obama Presidency, Black "Political Saviors" Haven't Paid Off For Black Community | Video | RealClearPolitics:
"Wall Street Journal columnist and conservative commentator Jason Riley talks about his new book, False Black Power, and how black political power hasn't done much to move the needle for the black community.
From Riley's appearance on the Monday broadcast of FOX & Friends:
JASON RILEY: Since the 1960's, the civil rights leadership has really been focused on electing more black officials. 
And the thinking was that that would bring up blacks socio-economically. Just put more blacks in office.

STEVE DOOCY, FOX & FRIENDS: Because white leaders were racist toward blacks?
JASON RILEY: Well, yes, and that political power would lead to black gains economically and socially. Obama's presidency was really the culmination of that strategy. 
And I thought it would be a good time to look back and see well, what happened to the black masses so to speak in the Obama years? ...
These are two areas where the gap increased under Obama: 

• The white-black disparity among home ownership and 
• household incomes was another area where we saw iniquities grow under the first black president. Something you probably didn't expect to see.

There were other areas. 
Poverty, and educational attainment and so forth that sort of flat lined. 
There wasn't much movement at all. 
But the point is that even Obama as president was unable to close a lot of these racial gaps that we've seen for decades. 
And I think the lesson here is that black political power is not going to be enough in and of itself to close these gaps. 
Political clout is not what blacks are lacking. 
That is not the basis for these iniquities we see today. 
And political solutions aren't necessarily what blacks need or low-income blacks in particular.
STEVE DOOCY: If it isn't power, what is it?
JASON RILEY: I think really what we are talking about are attitudes and behaviors, cultural traits. I think cultural capital, social capital, human capital. 
What economists call human capital is really what's lacking particularly among low-income blacks. 
The development of human capital is really going to be the basis of closing these gaps. It's not going to be political saviors.

Take A Look At The New ‘Consensus’ On Global Warming | The Daily Caller:

"A scientific consensus has emerged among top mainstream climate scientists that “skeptics” or “lukewarmers” were not long ago derided for suggesting — there was a nearly two-decade long “hiatus” in global warming that climate models failed to accurately predict or replicate.

A new paper, led by climate scientist Benjamin Santer, adds to the ever-expanding volume of “hiatus” literature embracing popular arguments advanced by skeptics, and even uses satellite temperature datasets to show reduced atmospheric warming."

Prof. on White 'Inhuman Assholes': 'Let Them Fucking Die'
"Mere days after a Bernie Sanders supporter shot Congressman Steve Scalise and two black members of his police detail, a Connecticut professor posted a Medium article on Facebook declaring: "Let Them F*cking Die." 
The professor went on to write that white people are "inhuman a**holes" who still prop up a "white supremacy system," so black people should not help them if their lives are in danger.
"I'm fed the f*ck up with self identified 'white's' [sic] daily violence directed at immigrants, Muslim, and sexual and racially oppressed people," Johnny Eric Williams, associate professor of sociology at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn., posted on Facebook Sunday, Campus Reform reported. 

"The time is now to confront these inhuman a**holes and end this now."

How should the allegedly oppressed "end this now"? 

..."It is past time for the racially oppressed to do what people who believe themselves to be 'white' will not do, put end to the vectors of their destructive mythology of whiteness and their white supremacy system," Williams added in another post, including the hashtag #LetThemF*ckingDie..."

Planned Parenthood spent $734,000 in failed Georgia race - Washington Times
"Jon Ossoff lost the House race in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District despite receiving nearly three-quarters of $1 million from the Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
With $734,000 in campaign contributions, the abortion giant was the second-biggest spender on the Democratic side of the ledger — only trailing the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which poured $4.9 million into the race.
...Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, said it turned out to be a referendum on Planned Parenthood.
“Although America’s largest abortion business, Planned Parenthood, spent six figures in support of her opponent Jon Ossoff, Karen’s record of courageous leadership won the day,” Ms. Dannenfelser said in a statement..."

Massive Russian collusion, but not by Trump

Massive Russian collusion, but not by Trump:

"Is it just me, or is everyone missing the biggest, most mind-boggling part of the never-ending “Trump-Russia collusion” drama?

I’m talking about something more troubling than ex-FBI chief James Comey being one of the biggest leakers, or his refusing for months to inform Americans that Donald Trump was never under FBI investigation – while capitulating to Obama AG Loretta Lynch’s demand that he hide the fact that Hillary Clinton was under investigation. I’m talking about something more absurd than an investigation lasting almost a year – entirely without evidence of a crime!

Let’s set aside all the deceit, demagoguery and mass hysteria associated with the left’s ongoing campaign to overturn Trump’s election by endlessly accusing him of “colluding with the Russians,” and consider the biggest scandal of all:

For the past 100 years, it’s the left that has been continually “colluding with the Russians.”"

What to do with a broken Illinois: Dissolve the Land of Lincoln - Chicago Tribune:
"llinois is like Venezuela now, a fiscally broken state that has lost its will to live, although for the moment, we still have enough toilet paper.
But before we run out of the essentials, let's finally admit that after decade upon decade of taxing and spending and borrowing, Illinois has finally run out of other people's money.
Those "other people" include taxpayers who've abandoned the state.
And now Illinois faces doomsday.
So as the politicians meet in Springfield this week for another round of posturing and gesturing and blaming, we need a plan.
And here it is:
Dissolve Illinois. 
Decommission the state, tear up the charter, whatever the legal mumbo-jumbo, just end the whole dang thing.
We just disappear.
With no pain.
That's right.
You heard me.
The best thing to do is to break Illinois into pieces right now.
Just wipe us off the map.
Cut us out of America's heartland and let neighboring states carve us up and take the best chunks for themselves...."

State of Hostilities

By Tammy Derouin

We have entered a very dark time in American history. Some have referred to our current state of hostilities as our second Civil War. For the most part it has been a battle of ideology rather than a battle with weapons. However, after the deliberate targeting of Senate Republicans on a baseball field, the uncertainty of our future weighs heavily on my mind.

We survived our first Civil War, but the death toll and devastation was enormous. The reconstruction of our nation was not an easy path. For those who survived, the wounds were deep. In many cases it would take decades if not lifetimes to heal. As the 1960's marked the 100^th anniversary of Civil War battles and victories, a battle for civil rights was underway. Ideology and assassinations would define the turbulent decade.

Our foundation, everything which has made us a free and independent nation, is under attack, including our God. Is it any wonder our God-given rights are being twisted into some sort of political privilege; afforded only to those who follow the political Left. Without God, our rights do not exist. Without God, we move closer and closer to a land of men rather than a land of law. Do we really want our rights to be determined by man, where they can be granted and denied at will? By the way, your life is now expendable if you do not agree with the Left. Death is becoming the called upon solution to eliminate Left-wing opposition. The dangers of rule-by-man, is that one day you too may be on the opposite side of the party line. If you are cheering today, odds are, you will be in fear tomorrow.

This is supposed to be the land of the free, where each individual has their God-given right to believe and live as he wishes. But, in today's reality, Americans are openly being targeted and condemned by fellow Americans if they do not agree with the political Left.......

Volokh demolishes Feinstein in campus free speech hearing

Volokh demolishes Feinstein in campus free speech hearing:

• Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) tangled with UCLA Law Professor Eugene Volokh yesterday over whether universities had a responsibility to handle security for controversial speakers.
• Feinstein repeatedly appeared to suggest that universities should always be able to cancel speakers if they expect an event to result in violence, while Volokh countered that local police forces should step in to ensure order.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) questioned Tuesday whether universities across the country should risk hosting controversial speakers if they have the potential to spark violent protests.
...“The handling of it, means that you have resources to be able to send and those resources know what to do. 
And particularly for the public university, and particularly for the University of California, there is a constant battle with the legislature over money. 
So the resources are not always what they might be,” she added.
Eugene Volokh, a distinguished professor of law at UCLA...
“If we are in a position where our police departments are unable to protect free speech, whether it’s universities or otherwise, then yes, indeed, we are in a very bad position,” he added.
...Volokh, however, insisted that despite such rare exceptions, the government still maintains a presumptive responsibility to assist the university in protecting the First Amendment.
“It’s not just the university it’s the government.
It’s the job of the government.
I am not the big believer of large jobs for the government, but one important job of the government is to prevent violence and to prevent violence without suppressing free speech,” he contended..."

Antifa thugs in their own words: They want to DESTROY you

Antifa thugs in their own words: They want to DESTROY you:
"If there remained any question about the character of the radical Left, recent reporting by Ian Miles Cheong at Heat Street paints a disturbing picture of the extent to which Antifa leftists condone violence against capitalists and so-called “fascists.”
Cheong draws attention to an Antifa website, “It’s Going Down,” the “de facto resource for anarchists and ‘anti-fascist’ activists currently engaging in sporadic street battles across the United States against Trump supporters and the government.”
The website features Antifa articles from staff writers and anonymous submissions that give the reader insight into the demented minds of those who urge violence against their countrymen.
The literature of the anarchist leftists is honest in its presentation of who they are and what they want. 

• ...“One describes liberal allies as ‘accomplices’ to capitalists. A piece titled Work, Community, Politics, War suggests that anarchists ‘are imposing our needs on society without debate’ and urge[s] militant tactics against employers and law enforcement.” 
• “Anarchism means destroying the forces that seek to keep us on our knees,” reads a publication titled “What the fuck is anarchism?” Cheong highlights how this piece exemplifies “the victim complex most of the leftist ideology’s followers live with.” You should read how they describe themselves and the actions they condone.
• In a world full of alienation and apathy, anarchists are willing to act in accordance with their ideas. Anarchists are those who would set fire to a bulldozer or a new luxury home rather than let a forest be cut down, who would rather hear the sound of shattering glass than a politician’s speech. 
• Deserting and disobeying all the rules written against us, by squatting and stealing for our survival, and rejecting the roles we’re assigned, as good worker, good student, good citizen, good woman or man. 
• Rewriting the usual endings; by supporting prisoners rather than letting them disappear in isolation, by beating up rapists and homophobes rather than suffering their violence, by creating forms of love that only strengthen us rather than containing and limiting us. 
• Taking control over our surroundings by painting graffiti on the walls or occupying space and planting gardens. 
• By arming ourselves with the ability to create a new world and destroy the one that has been imposed on us.

This is the evil of Antifa.
Their end is the destruction of the civil society. 
Their means are violence. 
And the Democratic Party and the “mainstream” liberals and progressives who support it have been complicit in the escalation of this violent politics.
For the good of the American people and the safety and happiness of our communities, the Antifa Left must be condemned and its violence put to an end."
