[Townhall] The Department of Justice Inspector General has officially referred fired Deputy FBI Director for criminal prosecution after revealing he lied multiple times under oath to FBI and OIG investigators. In other words, McCabe is being served up to the U.S. Attorney in Washington D.C. for criminal charges.
Attorneys for government watchdog Judicial Watch, who have sued the Department of Justice over documents related to Andrew McCabe's handling of the FBI's criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton's repeated mishandling of classified information, are saying it's long past time for accountability.
"The wheels of justice finally caught up with McCabe for repeatedly lying under oath to investigators. It’s high time America had some accountability for his misconduct," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton released in a statement. "Judicial Watch uncovered documents about McCabe’s conflicted handling of the Clinton investigation that should have triggered action months ago. Judicial Watch’s finds on FBI and McCabe corruption generated irresistible public pressure for accountability."
"McCabe’s potential criminal acts, on James Comey’s watch, are further proof that both the Clinton email and Trump-Russia investigations were irredeemably compromised. The Clinton email investigation was a sham and the Trump-Russia investigation is an abuse," he continued. "Unfortunately, the cover-up continues, the Justice Department and FBI are playing shell games and refusing to turn over McCabe text messages in Judicial Watch FOIA litigation."

Sorry - the 'wheels of justice' will not have caught up to McCabe, Comey, Lerner, etc., until they are tried (and convicted) in court. Everything else is pure speculation.
[Jpost] Turkey’s SADAT defense group is heavily involved in Ankara’s training of Syrian Sunni rebels for the fight against Assad.
In the collapsed and fragmented space that constitutes much of today’s Middle East, the key to success increasingly lies in the ability to combine political strategy with military muscle, under a single banner and in a single structure.
[AmericanThinker] So far, there has been little reaction because the change came so quietly. But on Friday, the US State Department issued an important document that refused to conform to the previously mandatory language that paid lip service to political correctness's Palestinian Division. The Times of Israel reports:
The US State Department released its annual report on human rights violations around the world on Friday, and there was at least one discernible difference from past reports: It no longer refers to the West Bank as "occupied."
Whereas previous iterations of the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices had a section on "Israel and the Occupied Territories," this year's document refers instead to "Israel, Golan Heights, West Bank and Gazoo."
While not as visible as moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, this is still very significant. To use the language of Trump-haters, it is "normalizing" Israel's hold on the lands it won in war – the way conquest, especially in defensive wars, works. Poland is not about to give back to Germany the territory that was taken at the end of World War 2. It's Gdansk, not Danzig. And the children and grandchildren of former Deutchlanders of Danzig are bot considered refugees, the way the descendents of Arabs who once lived in the territory that is now Israel claim to be (with a right of "return" to a land they never set foot in).
Nor is the US about to hand over the lands it won from Mexico,as La Raza wants.
War and conquest is how pretty much every nation established itself as sovereign over whatever territory it rules. But for reasons as old as the World's Oldest Hate, Israel is held to a different standard. Except that now, the Trump administration is signaling that it no longer will follow the Israel-only rules, at least in choice of labels. Exactly as it is doing with another phony-baloney Israel-only shibboleth: that one can be born in one country, and yet be a refugee from another country
I want all those people who think Trump is Hitler to explain how this could possibly happen with Hitler in charge.

I want all those people who think Trump is Hitler
Trump can't be Hitler because everybody knows that Zionism = Nazism. And therefore, Bibi is Hitler.
[NY Post] Sammy "The Bull" Gravano ‐ who helped James Comey bring down Gravano’s fellow mobsters more than 25 years ago ‐ was surprised to be mentioned in Comey’s memoir, "A Higher Loyalty."
When President Trump told Comey, "I need loyalty. I expect loyalty," the fired FBI director wrote: "The demand was like Sammy the Bull’s Cosa Nostra induction ceremony."
Gravano, 73, in his first interview outside of prison after serving a 17-year sentence for dealing ecstasy, told mob expert Jerry Capeci of GanglandNews.com that there’s nothing wrong with that.
"The country doesn’t need a bookworm as president, it needs a mob boss," Gravano said.
The former hit man, who confessed to his involvement in 19 murders, said Trump has to deal with the leaders of North Korea, Iran and Russia.
"You don’t need a Harvard graduate to deal with these people. These guys are real gangsters. You need a f‐king gangster to deal with these people."

Trump may sound like one, but Obama and company acted like one. Seems a lot of 'guidelines' where issued that didn't have the backing of law, but were none the less imposed upon us.

Given that the government especially Justice Dept has behaved like a leftist version of the mafia, look at the omerta around Benghazi and the goonery against those ranchers, maybe he is not off base.
[American Thinker] President Donald Trump is not the first president who has had trouble with the Deep State. Harry Truman had a major problem, too, which revolved around the resistance by the State Department and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to his decision to recognize the state of Israel.
In the matter of Israel's recognition, Secretary George Marshall and other high-ranking officials at State and the CIA were adamantly opposed. In a series of contentious meetings as related by Clark Clifford, the State Department argued continually with Truman not to do it. It came to a point where a furious Marshall told the president that if he recognized Israel, Marshall could never vote for him again.
Such arguments are certainly not bad for our democratic form of government. A wise president welcomes and solicits advice and comments from his Cabinet. This is all part of good decision-making. The difficulty came in after Truman formally recognized Israel on May 14, 1948, for that did not end the resistance to his decision.
To his credit, once the decision was made, George Marshall let the president know that he would never agree with it but that he would not oppose it. Not so with the boys in the CIA. As Michael Doran of the Hudson Institute puts it:

Whether one agrees with Truman or not, to undermine his decision was patently wrong. He was the president. And this underhanded resistance was carried out by a CIA that was created just a year earlier by Truman himself as an organization that was to assist the office of the president by merely collecting intelligence, not undermining policy.
If this is true I fear they won't be satisfied with attempts to impeach Trump. There's too much money at stake. I sure hope he's able to maintain his security. Also explains Afghanistan.

[Daily Caller] A California school district says that parents can’t opt out of a new sex education course that will deal with abortion, homosexuality and transgender issues.
California passed a law called the California Healthy Youth Act in 2015 to promote "healthy attitudes" about "gender [and] sexual orientation." The law is meant to teach students about the "effectiveness and safety of all FDA-approved contraceptive methods" and allow for "objective discussion" about "parenting, adoption, and abortion."
The law also gives parents the ability to opt-out of this education and said that the "pupil" shall not be punished academically in any way if they don’t participate.
However, the Orange County Board of Education has decided that parents don’t have a right to exclude their kids from the class, LifeSite News reports. A memo from the Orange County Department of Education general counsel Ronald Wenkart on March 29 stated that the opt-out provision "does not apply to instruction, materials, or programming that discusses gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, discrimination, harassment, bullying, intimidation, relationships, or family and does not discuss human reproductive organs."
