The Border & Illegal Aliens, And What We Are Doing About It.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said.

“We are not going to let this country be invaded!

We will not be stampeded!

We will not capitulate to lawlessness!

This is NOT business as usual.

This is the Trump era!," the Attorney General said.

Green-Haired Freak Steals, Spits on MAGA Hat to Fight So-Called Racism.
7/21/18 By: Peter D'Abrosca 
Another day, another American harassed in public for supporting the duly elected President Donald J. Trump.
“17-year-old Ashton Hess was assaulted and had his MAGA hat spat on by an angry green haired “non-binary” freak in Seattle,” wrote The Scoop, sharing a video on Twitter.
“This non-binary” Freak assaulted a 17-year-old and spat on his MAGA hat,” the caption in the video says.
Non-binary means that the Freak identifies neither as a man nor a woman.
Most of the video shows Hess chasing after Ethan Jackson, who took credit for the attack on Twitter.
“Take your racist ass and get the f*ck out of this state,” Ethan Jackson yells at one point in the video. “You’re not welcome here.”
Ethan Jackson said on Twitter that he was “fighting racist and nationalist propaganda.”
This attack comes on the heels of a similar one in a San Antonio, TX Whataburger, where a teen had a drink thrown in his face by a 30-year old man for wearing a MAGA hat in public.
Big League Politics reported:
Kino Jimenez ruined the evening of Hunter Richards and his friends, who were enjoying a late night meal at Whataburger when he stole Richards’ MAGA hat, cursed him out, and left the restaurant in huff.”
Donald Trump Jr. was able to secure a new MAGA hat – signed by the President – for Richards after the Texas assault. Perhaps the same can be done Hess.

MUELLER ADMITS: Russian Hacking Started In 2010 Under obuma.
7/17/18 by: Patrick Howley
Robert Mueller admits in his latest indictment that Russians began hacking the U.S. government during the obuma administration.
The obuma administration did nothing to protect our sensitive information as Russian code was secretly implanted into FBI surveillance programs and sensitive servers sharing classified information were routinely hacked — including obuma’s trove of facial-recognition and fingerprint info on private American citizens!
Here’s what it says on page 4 of Mueller’s indictment against the 12 Russians who will likely never actually face justice in this farce:
Big League Politics reported:
The Democratic National Committee turned down the FBI’s offer to secure their email and computer servers after the alleged Russian hack of DNC servers during the 2016 election.
Mueller’s indictment of twelve unknown Russian tech figures and their associates makes it clear that the Russians continued hacking the DNC servers until October 2016.
james comey testified in January 2017 that the FBI offered to help the Democratic National Committee by inspecting its servers. But the Democratic National Committee refused.
Instead, the DNC used a private contractor (identified in the Mueller indictment as “Company 1”) to manage server security.
Mueller admits that the DNC kept getting hacked until October 2016.

A former co-worker of Peter Strzok tells Big League Politics about Strzok’s extensive background in the intelligence community, including the fact that he grew up in Iran.
Many intelligence officers like Strzok are complete ghosts with questionable history and gaps in their life story. But now we have some insight.
Peter Strzok was born in the late 1960’s – he attended the American School in Iran up until 1978 when it closed down and then he attended the American School in Saudi Arabia. He supposedly attended a Catholic School, St. John’s Prep in Minneapolis (the school refused to confirm or deny attendance) and then completed a Bachelors at Georgetown and some form of graduate degree after that.
The truth is that after Peter Strzok III turned 18 his life is arcane, which is the usual story of many like him.
Did you know that Peter Strzok II (Strzok’s father) and killary clinton have a lot in common?
It turns out after advocating for Khomeni in Iran and then working in Saudi Arabia to calm the waters of an Iranian government (appeasing them with anti-Semitic rhetoric), Strzok’s father Strzok II also dabbled in “charity work.” Strzok’s father was involved in so-called charity work in Haiti but also helped dismantle and reassemble Upper Volta..now known as Burkina Faso.
Despite Deep State efforts to scrub information, the Internet is forever. Below you will see a very controversial happening in the early Eighties. Peter Strzok II (Strzok’s father, also known as Peter Strzok Sr.) was an employee of Catholic Relief Services and was interviewed by the New York Times in 1985 over his testimony or statements regarding mishandling money intended for Ethopia. In the article he identifies himself as a former employee of the charity and he is a retired US Army Corps Engineer who served the agency in Africa and Haiti.
So Peter Strzok II worked in Haiti with a charity? That sounds eerily familiar. Can we all guess which charities partnered to help Haiti?
The Clinton Foundation and The Catholic Relief Services (CRS) seem to work in tangent. Coincidence? Peter Strzok Sr. was actually the director of CRS in Haiti. If we look into CRS financials they seem to overlap and feed into clinton Global initiatives and balance sheets.
In the early 80’s Upper Volta was in turmoil. It is said that mineral disputes with neighboring countries brought about great duress and so in 1985 the country of Upper Volta ceased to exist and was then named Burkina Faso during Strzok II’s term there. Specifically, in 1981 he was advised of a government visit to Upper Volta, which places him in Upper Volta for a period of 4 years as his son Strzok III was at the American School in Saudi Arabia from 1978- 1980.
This happened after their sudden move from Tehran when Khomeni attained power over the Shah. Looks like whenever there is a regime change in modern history a Strzok is lying in the shadows waiting.
We know Peter Strzok III, the man who sent those vile text messages about our President. The man who was biased and wanted to ensure a clinton Presidency was raised in Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Our source reveals how Strzok and his father both talked about Iran favorably and both accidently reminisced about the rose water smell of the ju-jeh kebab by Shemiran Hill… something that disappeared after 1987 and only those who are old enough to remember can discuss.
Peter Strzok’s Persian is impeccable.
Our insider tells us that Peter Strzok III is the key Middle Eastern Intel operative for the Iranian airline Mahan Air’s purchase of United States government planes during the obuma administration from 2011 to 2013 (when Iran sanctions were in place).
He handled the Iranian relations from start to finish. Just like his father did for Reagan and just like he’s been doing for years under cloak and dagger says the BLP insider.
Peter Strzok Sr. and of course John O. Brennan were involved with Iran!~ In fact, our source tells us that Strzok Sr. was involved in the Iran-Contra scheme that led to a six-month prison term for Reagan national security adviser John Poindexter.
Back in the Eighties the government was just as corrupt as it is today and for some reason we keep giving weapons, planes, and planes full of money to Iran.
Even barry hussein obuma sent money to Iran on a plane in his last year of office — $1.4 Billion worth.
Just a few weeks ago, Iran 'demanded' Germany send them 300,000 Euros in cash on a plane to them, and of course Angela Merkel complied!
What’s the deal with Iran? Why are they so important?
Here is a clipping from the Wisconsin-based Leader-Telegram newspaper from 1979 in which Strzok Sr. describes his activities in Iran and expresses good will for the Ayatollah.
What were Strzok, brennan, and obuma really doing? That is a very good question that maybe President Trump can get answered for us if a Summit with Iran can happen early this fall.
One thing that is constant in modern history over the last five decades with anything involving Iran: "There is a Peter Paul Strzok involved!"
The BLP insider who’s worked with both Breannan and Strzok tells us that Strzok was never FBI he was part of the highest level of covert operatives, sliding into posts within the CIA or FBI to infiltrate, influence and observe. This is exactly what we saw with the Special Counsel appointment that resulted after a failed operation.
Peter Strzok Jr. was placed in the FBI to ensure a win for killary clinton and buffer negative press (like the Weiner laptop case, which he covered up).
That’s the real deal. Revealing Peter Strzok’s identity would have been a problem because it’s called unmasking but since he is in the limelight and out of the shadows it’s time to lay all the cards FACE up on the table for all to see who Peter Strzok really is.
Spooks feared him, but like our source they still maintain secrecy — simply connecting the dots of publicly and privately available information.

Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats Mocks President Trump at Globalist Festival






Published

Richard Moorhead 





The acting Director of National Intelligence, Dan Coats, took the opportunity to throw shade at President Donald Trump while speaking at the Aspen Security Forum on Thursday. The annual event at a ski resort in Colorado has served for several years as a venue for leading neoconservatives, uber-hawks, and Washington D.C based defense contractors to coordinate their political activities, recently becoming an opportunity for the elite bureaucrat class to fume collectively in hatred against the America First vision of foreign policy articulated by President Trump. However, it comes as a surprise to many to see an acting high-level U.S national security official speak publicly against the foreign policy of peaceful and principled realism set forth by the President he is nominally bound to serve as Commander-in-Chief.

Speaking to MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell, Director Coats justified an earlier statement of opposition he had released in response to the President’s press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, stating that he “needed to correct the record,” and that he “wished [Trump] had made a different statement.” Coats went on to express a sense of bewilderment upon learning that Trump had invited President Putin to the White House for further bilateral negotiations, initially asking Mitchell to repeat herself before responding with “okay… That’s going to be special,” speaking in reference to the planned White House visit.

Coats even floated the possibility of resignation from his office in his discussion with the MSNBC talk show host, answering a question about whether of not he had even considered resigning from his position as a form of protest against the sitting President’s national security policies by saying it was “a place I don’t really go to, publicly.” It’s uncertain if the President deserves intelligence personnel who are able to fully devote their efforts to apolitical public service without the possibility of resigning to advance an alternate political agenda, from the perspective of the acting U.S intelligence chief.

Other deep-state linked political figures, such as Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and the former pundit-extraordinaire and now full-time Twitter crybaby Bill Kristol, were in attendance at the four-day exclusive conference, with tickets for attendance ranging from $1,500 to $2,000.

Peter Strzok Grew Up In Iran, Worked As obuma and Brennan’s Envoy To Iranian Regime.

Illegal AIien Accused Of Raping And Impregnating 'Special Needs' Teen.
6/26/18 by: Henry Rogers
An illegal alien raped a 13-year-old non-verbal girl at her home while he was supposed to be baby sitting her.
Reynaldo Mora, 41, was arrested and charged with sex abuse of a minor and two counts of second-degree rape on April 19 in Montgomery County, Maryland, after impregnating the young girl.
The girl could only communicate through hand motions and writing, due to her condition, Fox News reported.
The victim, who has the “intellect of a first grader,” according to police, was reportedly forced into a bedroom in the Maryland home and raped by Reynaldo Mora. -- ABC7Kevin
The victim was taken to the hospital in April after she took a pregnancy test, which turned out to be positive, WJLA reported.
The monster, Reynaldo Mora was then arrested on April 19 and had his bail denied by a Montgomery County District Court Judge.
Reynaldo Mora tried to file a motion to bond out, but he had a detainer from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and was handed over to ICE on June 6.
If convicted, Reynaldo Mora reportedly faces up to 60 years in prison.
*** YEAH, AT THE TAX PAYERS EXPENSE! EXECUTE HIM! ***

Police Searching For Sorry Vandals Who Smashed Memorial For Navy SEAL Who Made Ultimate Sacrifice.
7/20/18 by: Evie Fordham
A public memorial to fallen Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient Lt. Michael P. Murphy was smashed into more than a dozen pieces by sorry assed vandals, according to a Thursday police report.
The memorial was a flat, circular piece of granite with the New York native’s image embossed on it. The stone has been on display at a park in Long Island, New York, that was dedicated to Murphy’s memory in 2006, reported ABC 7.
Suffolk County Police are investigating the “act of vandalism” and are offering a $2,500 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the person or people responsible, reported Stars and Stripes.
Only a coward would do this. We are matching Crime Stoppers Reward to anyone who turns in the low life who did this. To donate towards repairs go to MurphFoundation.org.
Murphy lost his life while leading a mission during the War in Afghanistan in 2005. His heroism when his team was surrounded by Taliban soldiers earned him a posthumous Medal of Honor in 2007.
One of the four members of the team to survive the Taliban ambush, former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, commemorated Murphy in his book “Lone Survivor.”
“On June 28, 2005, during Operation Redwing, Lt. Michael P. Murphy made the ultimate sacrifice for his country and our freedom,” reads part of the inscription.

ICE Arrests Dozens Of Criminal Illegals In Sanctuary City.
7/20/18 by: TTN Staff
The Democrats have been fighting hard to abolish ICE, the agency tasked with enforcing our immigration laws.
Recently they conducted a raid on Newark, New Jersey.
A huge majority of the people arrested had a criminal record. Something Neward presumably kept from federal authorities.
According to Town Hall:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, that most Democrats want to abolish, recently conducted a raid in Newark, New Jersey and arrested dozens of illegal aliens. The overwhelming majority have serious criminal records.
ICE targeted Illegal aliens who had been incarcerated in the Middlesex County Jail and released into the community by local law enforcement without notice to federal immigration officials. The aliens arrested had ICE detainers that were not honored. Newark is a "sanctuary city."
"Of those arrested, 16 subjects had been previously released by MCJ without honoring the ICE detainer and 78% had prior criminal convictions or pending criminal charges. The individuals arrested as part of the operation were nationals of Brazil, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Ivory Coast, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, and Turkey," ICE released Friday. "These individuals range from 21 to 68 years old and all were previously arrested or convicted of a variety of offenses.
Some of the arrests and convictions included:
aggravated criminal sexual contact, aggravated assault, DUI, hindering apprehension, endangering the welfare of a child, battery, theft, burglary, possession of a weapon, forgery, domestic violence assault, disorderly conduct, and illegal entry."
“ERO [Enforcement and Removal] New Jersey will continue to enforce ICE’s commitment to public safety,” Acting Field Office Director of ERO in Newark Ruben Perez released in a statement. “Middlesex county, which aspires to be a ‘sanctuary county’ by protecting criminal aliens, in the process assists criminals in undermining federal law, and creates a dangerous environment in the community. It also overburdens local law enforcement.
ICE will continue to execute its mission in such communities.”
These Democrat policies will continue to put American's at risk!
ICE is doing its best to keep America safe!

On The Attack: Israel Launches Wide Offensive Against Hamas in Gaza.
7/20/18 by: Matt Vespa
The situation in the Middle East erupted today, as Israel launched a “wide-scale attack” against terrorists in the Gaza Strip!
An Israeli soldier was killed by a Palestinian sniper, which prompted the attack,
Israel struck Hamas targets in Gaza on Friday, killing at least four Palestinians, after gunmen killed an Israeli soldier near the border, officials said.
Israeli military officials said a "terrorist squad" fired at troops, killing one soldier. The military did not specify the condition of the other soldiers who came under fire.
"Hamas chose to escalate the security situation and will bear the consequences for its actions," the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement, later tweeting that its fighter jets had struck 15 targets, including "weaponry warehouses" and "equipment storage."
Weekly clashes at the Israel-Gaza border have kept tensions high for months. More than 130 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the protests started on March 30.
The protests are partly meant to draw attention to the Israeli-Egyptian blockade imposed after Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007.
Yeah, on a side note, Hamas is a terrorist organization. I know you know this, but the mainstream media always forgets to make this a point.
Also, most killed in these so-called protests—attacks really—were terrorists. And the four Palestinians killed were confirmed by Haaretzto be members of Hamas’ armed wing—the al-Qassam Brigades. The publications added that 25 targets have been hit by the Israeli military.
The air operation is reported to be some of the most intense since the 2014 incursion (via NYT):
Israeli warplanes pounded the Gaza Strip on Friday after a Palestinian sniper killed an Israeli soldier along the border fence. Israeli security experts said the aerial assault was one of the most intense since a cease-fire ended 50 days of fighting in the territory in 2014.
Successive explosions rocked Gaza City at nightfall and streets emptied as warplanes struck sites that Israel said belonged to the military wing of Hamas, the islamist group that controls Gaza.
The ferocity of the bombings raised fears that the hostilities could spiral into a war.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and his defense minister, Avigdor Lieberman, arrived at military headquarters in Tel Aviv on Friday night for emergency meetings with top officials, a highly unusual event for the start of Sabbath.
On the Israeli side of the border, the authorities instructed residents to remain close to bomb shelters as they braced for retaliatory rocket fire from Gaza.
The military this week placed batteries of its Iron Dome anti-rocket missile defense system in several locations in central Israel.
Brig. Gen. Ronen Manelis, the chief spokesman for the Israeli military, blamed Hamas for escalating tensions over the past three and a half months, since the beginning of the Hamas-orchestrated mass protests along the border fence.
He said the response to Friday’s killing of the soldier along the fence — the first Israeli fatality in the Gaza border area in four years — would be “very severe.”
