Congress unanimously advanced a measure on Wednesday to subject the White House’s team of national security advisers to laws giving the public access to internal administration documents.
An amendment to a key Defense Department funding bill brought forward by Rep. Jackie Walorski (R., Ind.) would require the White House National Security Council to produce internal records in response to requests under the Freedom of Information Act.
The amendment comes in the midst of controversy over admissions by Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes in a recent New York Times interview that he and media allies created an “echo chamber” to promote the administration’s nuclear deal with Iran.
The Obama Administration found a way out of their negotiation screw-up, allowing Iran to legally test long-range ballistic missiles. According to the Iranian military, the U.S. solved the problem by telling the rogue nation, Ixnay on the bragging about your launches.
Despite the fact that the only purpose for long-range ballistic missiles is to deliver a nuclear payload (ballistic missiles are lousy at delivering pizza, the cheese slides to one side of the pie) according to according to President Obama’s new best buddies, our government’s only solution was to tell Iran to stop announcing their tests. Truth be told the Administration has no recourse because they were snookered in the P5+1 negotiations.
In a surprise ruling by what is arguably the most liberal appeals court in the US, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the rights of Americans to not only sell guns, but to buy them as well. Teixeira v. County of Alameda was the case before the court.
KRON reported on the background to the case.
Former UN ambassador a man who has his foreign policy chops has come out supporting Donald Trump and his plan to shake things up at the United Nations.
“I think it’s something that demonstrated a very serious effort on his part to address a global picture on foreign policy. I wish the campaign had let him do it six or eight months ago. Frankly, I think it would have been helpful but better late than never is my view. He talked about things that I think shouldn’t need emphasis but do and the most important being the centerpiece of American foreign policy has to be the protection of the United State and its people and its interests around the world.” He was particularly impressed by how Trump would deal with Russia.
Do you ever wonder why the influx of “refugees” to America, Europe, and other Western countries isn’t slowing down?
Did you know that rich Muslim countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates have all refused to take any refugees?

Dubai: An Emirati lawyer has offered the US President Barack Obama a job in his law firm in Dubai in an attempt to familiarise him with the tolerance of Islam.

Islam scholar Lamya Kaddor said on German television that “being German” in future will not mean having blonde hair and blue eyes, but being a Muslim migrant and wearing a hijab.
The deadly Islamic terrorist attack in Paris, France killed more than 130 people.
But unlike Obama’s America after an attack, France started immediately raiding Islamic mosques to see what they could find. After all, far too many people in the Muslim community have not been helpful with bringing forth information to authorities.
And while those French investigators have been called racists, a Langy-sur-Marne based mosque was raided this week anyway… And they found a large collection of 7.62 Kalashnikov ammo along with boxes of Islamic State (ISIS) propaganda videos.
Rep. Randy Forbes (R-VA) is speaking out about the classified details concerning the treatment of a group of U.S. sailors who were captured by Iran earlier this year.
Forbes told the Washington Free Beacon that the Obama administration is still hiding the real story about the maritime incident and may do so for at least another year.
PAUL, Minnesota, May 16, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – A new campaign to encourage shoppers to ditch Target over their new “transgender” bathroom literally took to the streets today in Minnesota.
The bathroom battle in Target keeps going, and now they’re getting slammed by some bad news from a new campaign. Is Target going to stick to their policy to allow men in women’s bathrooms? Or are they going to give in to common sense and protect women?
“His sexual addiction explains everything,” says Dallas lawyer Dolly Kyle, who says she had a long-running affair with Bill Clinton. “You would think that a guy who is a governor and who is nice looking and articulate and all that and then president would not have to sexually assault someone, but that goes back to the addiction. It’s not just plain sex. It’s not just a physical attraction. It is some sick, sick need that he has to control women.”Breitbart reports that Hillary Clinton is not only an “enabler,” she is a “terrorist” who “terrorizes” her husband’s alleged lovers and women who accuse him of sexual assault, says Dallas lawyer Dolly Kyle, who says she had a long-running affair with Bill Clinton.

It doesn’t matter who you support for President in 2016. This letter will make you want to stand up and cheer for the 80 year old American who expresses what most of us are feeling right now. Enjoy…
Epoch Times: Trump is making Disney references great again.
Since Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) started exchanging harsh words with Donald Trump, she’s been called “goofy” and “the Indian,” a reference to her alleged history of invoking her 1/32 Native American ancestry to claim affirmative action benefits as a college professor.
London’s new Mayor Sadiq Khan, the first Muslim to hold the position, has been openly critical of GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump’s call for a temporary moratorium on Muslims entering the United States. Khan has called Trump “ignorant” and has said that if Trump is elected president he will make both the U.S. and Britain “less safe.”
When 2 thugs murder a white pizza delivery guy – does Obama, Sharpton, Eric Holder or the media care? Nope.
Alexander William Burkart, 22, crashed his car after being stabbed to death in Mount Clemens, Michigan. Police arrested two eighteen-year-old black males. Burkart was delivering pizzas at the time
Police only say they were not motivated by robbery…
Bill Clinton’s sexual affairs have been well documented over the years. That’s why it should come as a surprise to nobody that the former president is rumored to have fathered a mixed race child with a prostitute.
When Hillary learned about the child, she reportedly had the boy banished and has done everything she can to make life difficult for him.
CORRECTS LOCATION TO PISCATAWAY, NOT NEW BRUNSWICK – President Barack Obama speaks during Rutgers University’s 250th Anniversary commencement ceremony, on Sunday, May 15, 2016, in Piscataway, N.J. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)
ABC7NY-Obama on Sunday urged college graduates to shun those who want to confront a rapidly linked world by building walls around the United States or by embracing ignorance, as he delivered a sharp and barely concealed critique of Donald Trump.
Obama used his commencement speech at Rutgers University to illustrate a world view antithetical to the ideas espoused by the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Looking out at a sea of red and black gowns, Obama told the roughly 12,000 graduating students that the pace of change on the planet is accelerating, not subsiding, and that recent history had proved that the toughest challenges cannot be solved in isolation.
Retired marine received a letter by the HOA ordering him to remove his “marine stickers” from his Chevy car.
He’ll be fined $50 a day if he refused to do so. If he doesn’t pay he will be towed. Frank Larison and his attorney Mike joined CNN to discuss the situation.
At least 75 homegrown violent extremists were found to be operating across the United States in 2015, with the largest portion of these individuals pledging allegiance to the ISIS terror group, according to recent figures published by New Jersey’s Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness.
The largest number of homegrown extremists were caught providing material support to various terror organizations, while at least 21 percent of the terrorists were found to be planning attacks in the United States, according to the figures.
Hillary Clinton has received nearly $75,000 in political contributions from employees at the Department of Justice, the agency that would decide whether or not to act if the FBI recommended charges against Clinton or her aides following its investigation into her private email server.
Justice Department employees have given Clinton far more money than her rivals, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) and Donald Trump, according to a review of federal campaign contributions for the 2016 presidential cycle.
A Facebook post featuring the many ways in which Oklahoma has fought back against President Barack Obama’s tyrannical rulings went viral, and for good reason.
The post perfectly captured the way in which Oklahoma legislators used their constitutionally guaranteed state power to crush the president’s rulings on religion, illegal immigration and more.
World New Politics Media has created a divide between Donald Trump and minorities; however, such is not the case. Many minority individuals are actually planning on voting for Donald Trump. The thought is that Trump doesn’t like all minorities because he doesn’t want illegals or radical Muslims entering the US to cause problems. That cannot be generalized to all of the minorities. This year, in the elections, people are angry and finally happy that Trump is addressing issues that haven’t been appropriately tended to. One African-American GOP supporter added some insight into this. He said that he believes that “right now for the 2016 cycle Donald Trump is the best candidate.” He also says that he has nothing to disagree with Donald Trump about. He points out his points about illegal immigration. The supporter stated that he believes the immigration system is broken and that we are the only country in the world who would allow illegals to stay in our country illegally. He also agrees with the wall idea because it offers protection.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is set to fight back on the Obama Administration’s decision to enforce transgender/gender identity bathrooms in school districts across America.
On Abbott’s twitter, he sent a message to the president:
GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump unleashed a plethora of accusations at Hillary Clinton over protecting her husband’s adulteries with many women, including accusations of rape. He told an Oregon rally that Clinton was a “unbelievably nasty, mean enabler” who “destroyed” the lives of many of her husband’s mistresses.
Trump’s comments came in the midst of a rally that was being held in Eugene, Oregon. Following, the exit of Ted Cruz and John Kasich from the FOP primaries, Trump has set his sights on Clinton and in a blistering attack on the Democrat frontrunner, he gave Americans a taste of what is to come in the campaign through November.
Former President Bill Clinton was a much more frequent flyer on a registered sex offender’s infamous jet than previously reported, with flight logs showing the former president taking at least 26 trips aboard the “Lolita Express” — even apparently ditching his Secret Service detail for at least five of the flights, according to records obtained by FoxNews.com.
Clinton’s presence aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s Boeing 727 on 11 occasions has been reported, but flight logs show the number is more than double that, and trips between 2001 and 2003 included extended junkets around the world with Epstein and fellow passengers identified on manifests by their initials or first names, including “Tatiana.” The tricked-out jet earned its Nabakov-inspired nickname because it was reportedly outfitted with a bed where passengers had group sex with young girls.
“… no laughing matter …”
Some on might think rocker Ted Nugent is off his rocker for the video he posted to Facebook on Tuesday. Of course, many of his fans probably love how inflammatory the video will be to most liberals.
Those who do not pay attention to those who have gone before us are bound to repeat the mistakes of our ancestors — and Teddy Roosevelt has some commentary on today and that has Trump fans cheering.
He made a powerful point about the necessity for assimilation of immigrants into American culture, not unlike current presumed Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
