The niece of Front National leader Marine Le Pen gives a scathing rebuke to the "has-been feminists" and "political dinosaurs" haunting French parliament

With so much doom and gloom in the news cycle, we thought it would be prudent to share something that will help restore your faith in humanity.

Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, the elegant, articulate niece of Front National leader Marine Le Pen, dissected the dizzying mental gymnastics of modern day feminism during a scathing 3-minute speech in front of her fellow French parliamentarians.

Le Pen made her remarks during debate on a ban of pro-life websites and the spread of "false information" regarding abortions, but she went after more than just SJW censorship:
Feminism had been reduced to "sexism in grammar, a pink toy in a happy meal", Maréchal-Le Pen said, adding that feminists had "lost the plot" on real threats. The real threats, she said, were issues like the migrant sex assault in Cologne on New Year's Eve 2015/2016 and Islamic law which she said was "being enforced in some of France's districts".

She slammed feminists' views of the "patriarchy" and their placing blame on "heterosexual white men". She also accused leftists of cosying up to Islamists to further their cause adding the alliance was the reason "self-proclaimed protectors of women's rights" defend the Islamic veil which she called an "Islamic submission tool".

Donald Trump's presidency --- First SNAFUs already

trump tank cartoon
It is a rare privilege to be able to criticize a politician for actually fulfilling his campaign promises but Donald Trump is a unique President and this week he offered us exactly this opportunity with not one, but three different SNAFUs to report.

First, there was the botched raid against an alledged al-Qaeda compound in Yakla, Yemen. Let me commit a crimethink here and remind everybody that for all the great Hollywood movies, Americans have a terrible record of doing special ops. The latest one was typical. First, it involved Navy SEALS, one of the most disaster-prone US special forces. Second, it involved special forces from the United Arab Emirates (don't ask why, just don't). I am pretty sure that using US Rangers alone would have yielded better results. Third, as always, they got detected early. And then they began taking casualties. This time from female al-Qaeda fighters. Finally, they botched the evacuation. They did kill some kids and, so they say, an al-Qaeda leader. More about this raid here and here. As I said, this is pretty much par for the course. But I am sure that some Hollywood movie will make it look very heroic and "tactical". But the real world bottom line remains unchanged: Americans should give up on special ops, they just can't do it right.

The leftwing has placed itself in the trash can of history

At a time when the Western world desperately needs alternative voices to the neoliberals, the neoconservatives, the presstitutes and the Trump de-regulationists, there are none. The Western leftwing has gone insane.

The voices being raised against Trump, who does need voices raised against him, are so hypocritical as to reflect less on Trump than on those with raised voices.

Sharon Kelly McBride, speaking for Human Rights First, sent me an email saying that Trump stands on the wrong side of "America's ideals" by his prohibition of Muslim immigrants into the US.

My question to McBride is: Where were you and Human Rights First when the Bush/Cheney/Obama regime was murdering, maiming, orphaning, widowing, and displacing millions of Muslims in seven countries over the course of 4 presidential terms?

Why is it OK to slaughter millions of peoples, destroy their homes and villages, wreck their cities as long as it is not Donald Trump who is doing it?

Comment: All of this outrage over Trump's policies, after decades of deafening silence during the numerous war crimes committed by the Bush/Clinton/Obama dynasty, really makes it look like America is being pushed towards a color revolution.

Texas government audit: 'Elevated' Islamic terrorism threat to US from Mexico


Judicial Watch
Tue, 31 Jan 2017 16:21 UTC
Border wall political cartoon
A new government audit confirms what Judicial Watch has been reporting for years, that Islamic terrorists are operating in Mexican border towns and infiltrating the United States to carry out attacks. In a report issued this month by the Texas Department of Public Safety, the agency notes that the state faces a full spectrum of threats and "due to the recent actions of lone offenders or small groups affiliated with or inspired by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and other foreign terrorist organizations, we assess that the current terrorism threat to Texas is elevated."

Safety officials in the Lone Star State also write in the 86-page document that they are "especially concerned about the potential for terrorist infiltration across the U.S.-Mexico border, particularly as foreign terrorist fighters depart Syria and Iraq and enter global migration flows." They also express worries about Syrian refugees that have been sent to Texas under President Obama's settlement program because the government doesn't have a system to properly vet them.

Judicial Watch has also reported extensively on that national security crisis. Read the latest stories here and here. "We see a potential that these challenges may leave the state exposed to extremist actors who pose as authentic refugees, and who are determined to later commit violent acts," the Texas report states.

Two people, including the chief of the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) Militia Office, were killed in a car blast in the republic's capital, Lugansk. The Lugansk People's Militia says the blast was a terrorist attack carried out by Kiev's secret services.

"The chief of the LPR People's Militia Office, Colonel Oleg Anashchenko, has died today in a terror act," Major Andrey Marochko, the department's representative, said at a press briefing on Saturday, as cited by RIA Novosti news agency. "Presumably, the terror attack was committed by Ukrainian special services aiming to destabilize the situation in the republic [of Lugansk]," Marochko added.

He stressed, however, that despite this incident, "Kiev's hit squad will not be able to break the morale of the fighters of the People's Militia," adding that Lugansk authorities have launched an investigation and will "punish the masterminds and those responsible for carrying out this heinous act of terrorism."

The blast occurred at about 8am local time. The People's Militia press service earlier said that the car belonged to Oleg Anashchenko. According to the office of the Lugansk Attorney General, Anashchenko was the only person in the car at the time of the explosion.

During the inspection of the crime scene we found out that only one person was in the car - Oleg Anaschenko himself. We've also established that the blast occurred on the driver's side of the vehicle. The type and nature of the explosive devices is currently investigated," David Kats, the Lugansk Attorney General press secretary said at a press briefing on Saturday.

Meet Mexico's fiery, Trump-like populist who looks increasingly likely to win the presidency in 2018

Lopez Obrador
Left-wing candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador: 'We don't like him coz he's commie... er, in contact with RT... whatever, he's Moscow's Trojan Horse into Mexico.'
Last week brought fresh deterioration in diplomatic relations between the US and Mexico after Trump threatened to cancel a White House meeting with Mexican President Pena Nieto, saying if "Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting". And while Pena Nieto tried to save face by officially cancelling the meeting over twitter, Mexicans are growing increasingly frustrated with a candidate that they see as too soft in combating an aggressive Trump Presidency. All of which has caused Pena Nieto's approval ratings to plunge to historic lows of just 12%.

Could the Obamas outdo the Clintons in amassing wealth after leaving the White House?

Obama with pile of cash money
Barack Obama certainly did his part. Corporate profits soared during his eight years in office. The wealth of the richest 400 Americans grew from $1.57 trillion to $2.4 trillion. Social inequality increased at an accelerating rate.

With Obama in the White House, the stock market enjoyed one of its most successful runs in history (the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 148 percent, a greater percentage increase than under Ronald Reagan).

Concretely, according to CNN Money, "Dow components JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs have skyrocketed since the [2008-2009] bailout and are not far from their record highs. ... Apple's shares have surged more than 415% since he [Obama] took office. Amazon's are up an astonishing 900%. And Facebook, which went public during the last few months of Obama's first term in 2012, is up 230% from its offering price."

Comment: Seems like Obama's making out like a bandit after his disastrous presidency.

This is how Russia and the United States are cooperating in Syria

Since Donald Trump became President of the United States, we have been witnessing some interesting developments in Syria. We have only fragmentary and seemingly unconnected information at this time, but, as one puts the pieces of the puzzle together, it appears likely that some kind of deeper level of coordination between the US and Russia exists.

While it cannot be said with certainty, Trump and Putin have probably agreed to cooperate in the fight against Daesh in Syria without making it publicly known. These represent only intentions, especially after the misunderstanding in recent days about joint strikes between Moscow and Washington against Daesh in Syria.

The following list is intended to facilitate an understanding of a tentative hypothesis that posits secret coordination between the US and Russia.

Trump's new orders target Obama financial regulations

President Donald Trump signed two presidential memoranda aimed at scaling back or repealing finance regulations put in place by the Obama administration - the 2010 Dodd-Frank law, and the 2017 fiduciary rule that has not yet gone into effect.

Trump has instructed the Treasury department to consult with federal regulatory agencies and the Financial Stability Oversight Council, and report back to the White House on potential changes that could be made to Dodd-Frank, a landmark legislation enacted by the Obama administration in 2010.

"The first thing that we are going to attack is regulation, over-regulation. It's not just in the financial markets, it's in all markets," Gary Cohn, director of the White House National Economic Council and former CEO of Goldman Sachs, told Fox Business. "So today you're going to start seeing the beginning of some of our executive actions to roll back regulation in the financial services market."

Dodd-Frank "is not doing what it set out to do," White House spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters on Friday. Dodd-Frank created instruments to prevent a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis, including strict new capital standards on banks and derivatives trading. While only Congress can repeal the law, the executive branch can block many of its aspects by choosing not to enforce them.

The second memorandum instructs the Department of Labor to delay the implementation of the "fiduciary rule," set to come into effect in April. The regulation would have redefined any financial professionals making a recommendation or solicitation - such as brokers or insurance agents - as fiduciaries, with the obligation to put clients' interests above their own and fully disclose all fees and commissions. The White House described the rule as "a solution in search of a problem" and said that Obama's Labor Department exceeded its authority with this regulation.

Comment: Re-evaluating Dodd-Frank would do all of humanity a favor!

President Trump versus Google and the Shadow Government

Google, the mega-tech giant that did everything possible to see Hillary Clinton in the White House may be "over" soon. Per news from Bloomberg, President Donald Trump's executive order on limiting immigration from some countries has decimated the world's biggest name in search. Google Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai has raised his hands in despair.

When are Google, Facebook, Microsoft and the cabal of ultra-liberal money machines going to give the rest of us a break? This is what I have to say about Pichai's grandstanding on Mr. Trump's decree to temporarily stop people from seven Muslim nations from entering the US for 90 days. Now Google expects the world at large to believe it runs off the brain power of rocket scientists from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen and Libya? While the US president takes the wise road toward vetting who comes and goes from Muslim nations, Sundar Pichai makes use of owned mainstream media to register still more protests. Yes, the new socialists in America are led by the likes of top Googlers and Bill Gates wannabes, we all know this. But this is thick indeed.

Once again a mysterious insider who refused to be named leaked "facts" Google employees affected by the Homeland Security moves of Friday. Already Google and the others have their legal eagles all over the situation. Bloomberg also reported on Facebook Inc. Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg voicing his "concern" over Mr. Trump's moves, and Microsoft Corp. made a securities filing on cautioning investors that immigration restrictions "may inhibit our ability to adequately staff our research and development efforts." The message is clear as always, the liberal technocrats intend leveraging the investor set against Trump and any move at nationalism.

But here's what I have to say...

Comment: Amen!
