Exposing Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff

I recently read a fantastic article that exposes the lies, deceit and hypocrisy of Democrat Adam Schiff (CA), current leader of House Intelligence Committee, as he rabidly forces an illegal path to try and impeach President Donald Trump over trumped up, baseless charges. The article, by Erielle Davidson, is an unbiased look into the corrupt process Rep. Schiff is forging in the continued attempted coup against our duly elected President.

© The Federalist Trump Was Right To Keep The Baghdadi Raid Secret From Schiff

The latest media freakout over the death of Abu Bakr-al Baghdadi is because Trump failed to disclose information about the raid to the House Intelligence Committee beforehand. Trump alleges the reason he did not inform the committee about the raid is due to his mistrust of the committee’s chairman, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. He called Washington a “leaking machine.”

President Trump is right to worry about leaks. Back in 2017, Gen. Tony Thomas made this very point at the Aspen Security Conference, where he discussed how a prior lead on Abu Bakr al Baghdadi “went dead” following a media leak.

“That was a very good lead. Unfortunately, it was leaked in a prominent national newspaper about a week later and that lead went dead,” Thomas explained. “The challenge we have [is] in terms of where and how our tactics and procedures are discussed openly. There's a great need to inform the American public about what we're up to. There's also great need to recognize things that will absolutely undercut our ability to do our job.”

Admittedly, Trump’s labeling of Washington as a “leaking machine” is a revealing and disappointing statement on the federal government, but the blame for this situation does not lie with Trump, and it would require cognitive dissonance of the highest order for the media to blame the president for his recalcitrance to share information with a congressional committee headed by Schiff. Schiff has proven to be a bad faith actor who routinely compromises his integrity in pursuit of partisan gains.

For military operations, it is good habit to inform leaders of Congress about what is occurring, but it’s not legally required, as might be had this been a covert intelligence operation. Given Schiff’s behavior, perhaps Trump’s call not to inform him was a judicious one.

Schiff has spent the vast majority of Trump’s presidency peddling unfounded (and debunked) conspiracy theories and “leaking” false information to countless media outlets in the hopes of forwarding the Democratic #Resistance narrative. So it is entirely unsurprising that Trump would experience some trepidation about sharing highly sensitive information with Schiff.

Just Remember What Schiff Did With the Ukraine Call

Schiff’s behavior directly preceding the Trump impeachment inquiry has been salacious, at best. Schiff lied about the nature of President Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky by fabricating details that did not actually transpire, including sharing that President Trump had requested Zelensky generate incriminating evidence against former Vice President Joe Biden.

As we all could ascertain from the transcript, this request never took place. When confronted about his lies, Schiff dismissed the critiques, simply claiming the story was his “parody” of an extremely contentious event. After being attacked for such unseriousness, Schiff then tweeted two days later that the anonymous whistleblower had “confirmed” these allegations, although no such allegations appear in the whistleblower’s nine-page complaint.  These circus-like maneuvers are the not the machinations of a serious individual, and anyone who attempts to market them as such is deluding himself.

In addition to falsifying information about Trump’s phone call with Zelensky, Schiff also claimed that no prior communication had taken place with the whistleblower prior to the formal complaint’s filing. That, too, proved to be a lie, as reported by The New York Times.

Schiff’s dishonest maneuvers in the Trump-Ukraine matter are just the latest in a series of mendacious activities that seriously call his credibility into question, enough to justify Trump’s hesitance to share sensitive national security information with the arguably disreputable congressman.

There's a Lot More in Schiff's Record of Unreliability

A few weeks ago, the Washington Times published a helpful list detailing some of Schiff's legitimately sketchy, for lack of a better word, behavior. During the Trump-Russia investigation, Schiff used the now-disgraced Steele dossier to buttress his line of questioning when interrogating FBI Director James Comey in a March 2017 hearing. He granted legitimacy to a document that should never have been granted legitimacy, and by doing so, engaged in the very act he accused the Trump campaign of—gratifying foreign interference in our elections.

Even when Schiff had the opportunity to “make good” on his reliance on the Steele dossier, he refused the opportunity. In early 2018, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif.,  then chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, published a memo alleging that the FBI had possibly used biased sources, like the Steele dossier, when it obtained a FISA warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

In a “countermemo” published in response, Schiff alleged that the supposed “evidence” from the Steele dossier could not have been used to garner approval for a year’s worth of wiretaps on Page since Bruce Ohr from the Justice Department did not approach the FBI with information from the infamous dossier until November 2016. The wiretap was application was finalized in October. This, too, was false. Ohr had been forwarding information from the dossier to the FBI's Andrew McCabe all the way back in the summer of 2016.

Schiff’s “countermemo” also alleged that Nunes had made a “midnight run” to gather documents from the White House that would show conspiratorial aims from the Obama administration. This, too, was false. Nunes appeared on-air with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer to set the record straight about his trip to the White House, which occurred in the middle of the day and involved a visit with a national security staffer.

Prior to the release of Nunes’ memo, Schiff alleged that the push from the public to see the memo was the result of a Russia bot operation, not genuine interest from Americans to understand how corrupt Democrat leadership had become. This, too, was false. Twitter conducted an in-house analysis, determining that the source of the #ReleaseTheMemo hashtag was mostly Americans.

Schiff Is Not Just a Liar, But a Leaky Liar

Schiff routinely capitalizes on the fact that the mainstream media is largely in the left's pocket and will unquestioningly publish what helps the Democrats. But beyond Schiff’s blatantly dishonest tactics, he likely has a penchant for leaking information to the press, sometimes inaccurate, to advance the Democrats’ narrative.

Hearken back to March 2017, when the media breathlessly published during Donald Trump Jr.’s House Intelligence Committee hearing that the president’s son had received a decryption key from WikiLeaks  to access hacked Democratic National Committee emails, legitimizing Democrats’ claims of collusion. Yet the timestamp on the email had been doctored to an earlier date to imply collusion, when in fact it had been sent well after WikiLeaks had begun dumping DNC emails in public. It was merely a mass email inviting recipients to inspect what WikiLeaks had already uploaded onto the internet.

Given that the House Intelligence Committee were the ones with access to Trump Jr.’s emails, it’s highly probable that someone within the committee “leaked” the email to various sources within the media. It’s also why many Republicans suspect Schiff, chairman of the committee, to be the leaker.

All Republicans on Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence wasted no time in calling for Schiff's resignation in March after the Mueller report found no evidence of the collusion Schiff had been dangerously peddling for the past two years on every major news network in a desperate attempt to maintain relevancy. An excerpt from the committee’s letter elucidated:

Your repeated public statements, which implied knowledge of classified facts supporting the collusion allegations, occurred at the same time anonymous leaks of alleged intelligence and law enforcement information were appearing in the media. These leaks, often sourced to current or former Administration or intelligence officials, appeared to support the collusion allegations and were purported to be related to ongoing investigations of President Trump and his associates.

Fast-forward to the latest Trump-Ukraine affair. Schiff mysteriously announced in a press release an investigation into Trump’s July 25 phone call with Zelensky, two days before supposedly receiving the whistleblower’s complaint, suggesting that he possibly was using insider information when calling for copies of the transcripts from the phone call. Schiff’s representative did not comment when asked to explain this absurd coincidence. All this proves it's definitely worth questioning Schiff’s capacity to handle sensitive information without leaping on it for partisan gain.

The House was recently given an opportunity to chastise Schiff for this pattern of reckless behavior, and chose not to. That left Trump with denying him the opportunity to leak this raid before it happened like he'd done so many times before. Whether we like it or not, choices have consequences. One of those consequences is a breakdown of trust between the House and the executive branch, one that we hold dear and one that House Democrats have seemingly sacrificed on the sacred altar of the Resistance.

If Democrats in the House are so concerned with the sharing of information between the executive branch and the House, perhaps when one of their members engages in inexcusable and unethical behavior, they should reprimand that individual, not celebrate him as some heroic figure worthy of emulation. It only suggests tacit support of the very behavior that every government official, right or left, should be condemning.

ISIS Terrorists Trying to Enter the U.S. Via Mexico

In another report from Judicial Watch, a government watchdog legal group, comes the latest in a series of stories dating back several years that expose the truth of dangerous illegal immigrants infiltrating our Southern Border in order to potentially carry out terrorist attacks within the United States. Please read this story that the mainstream media won't touch, but which is vital to our National Security!

Nicaraguan Military Arrests Four ISIS Terrorists Planning to Enter U.S. Via Mexico

Four ISIS terrorists planning to enter the United States through Mexico have been captured by the Nicaraguan military in a remote area where the men entered the Central American nation illegally from Costa Rica. Nicaraguan authorities identify the men as two Egyptian nationals—33-year old Mohamed Ibrahim and 26-year-old Mahmoud Samy Eissa—and two Iraqis, 41-year-old Ahmed Ghanim Mohamed Al Jubury and 29-year-old Mustafa Ali Mohamed Yaoob. The men arrived in Panama on May 12 and in Costa Rica on June 9, according to an article published in Nicaragua’s largest newspaper.

It appears they had legal permission to enter Costa Rica, which is why Nicaragua deported them back there. Costa Rica’s national security chief, Michael Soto, confirmed the men entered the country legally and were approved by his country’s immigration control officials “with no problem.” Soto also revealed that “confidential information from an unknown source” later alerted Costa Rican officials of the men’s “criminal” ties. Various Mexican media outlets also reported that authorities there were warned that three—instead of four—ISIS operatives were making their way to the United States through Mexico via Central America. Mexico’s largest newspaper covered a press conference in which President Andrés Manuel López Obrador confirmed receiving an alert from the United States about the ISIS terrorists’ plan to enter Mexican territory to reach the American border.

Not surprisingly, the mainstream media has essentially ignored this disturbing story which is simply the latest of many involving Islamic terrorists and the southwest border. Judicial Watch has for years uncovered evidence of Islamic terrorists infiltrating the U.S. through Mexico as part of an ongoing investigation into the national security crisis created by the dangerously porous southern border. Judicial Watch has interviewed local, state and federal law enforcement officials as well as U.S. and Mexican military sources and has traveled to remote Mexican border towns to interview American ranchers. When the Central American caravan got started last fall, Judicial Watch deployed an investigative team to the Guatemala-Honduras border after Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales confirmed that nearly 100 ISIS terrorists had been apprehended in the impoverished Central American nation.

Judicial Watch’s reporting has confirmed that ISIS has a training cell just a few miles from El Paso, Texas in an area known as “Anapra” situated just west of Ciudad Juárez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. We also verified that Mexican drug cartels are smuggling foreigners from countries with terrorist links to stash areas in a rural Texas town (Acala) near El Paso. Back in 2014 Judicial Watch reported that four ISIS soldiers, who entered the U.S. through the Mexican border, were arrested in McAllen and Pharr Texas. Two years ago, Judicial Watch exposed a plot involving Mexican drug traffickers that help Islamic terrorists stationed in Mexico cross into the U.S. to explore targets for future attacks. Among the jihadists that travel back and forth through the porous southern border is a Kuwaiti named Shaykh Mahmood Omar Khabir, an ISIS operative who lives in the Mexican state of Chihuahua not far from El Paso. Khabir trained hundreds of Al Qaeda fighters in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen and at the time lived in Mexico for more than a year, according to information provided to Judicial Watch by high-ranking Homeland Security officials. Khabir trains thousands of men—mostly Syrians and Yemenis—to fight in an ISIS base situated in the Mexico-U.S. border region near Ciudad Juárez, the intelligence gathered by Judicial Watch’s sources reveals.

Just a few weeks ago a captured ISIS fighter provided alarming details of a plot in which jihadists enter the country through the southern border to carry out an attack. The terrorists begin their journey in Central America (like the four recently captured in Nicaragua) and exploit vulnerabilities in the Mexican border to reach the U.S., according to Abu Henricki, an ISIS soldier captured by the Syrian Democratic Forces in Rojava, Syria. Henricki and 160 of his fellow terrorists were interviewed at length by a research group called the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism. The nonpartisan organization published its findings recently in an alarming report that includes a video of the interview with the captured terrorist, who is Canadian and has dual Trinidadian citizenship

“They were going to move me to the Mexican side [of the U.S. southern border] via Puerto Rico,” Henricki says about the ISIS plot. “This was mastermind[ed] by a guy in America. Where he is, I do not know. That information, the plan came from someone from the New Jersey state from America. I was going to take a boat [from Puerto Rico] into Mexico. He was going to smuggle me in,” Henricki explains. “I don’t know where I’d end up.” In the report, the researchers reveal that the ISIS fighters were to travel from Syria to penetrate the U.S. southern order by infiltrating migration routes. “Whatever one thinks of President Donald Trump’s heightened rhetoric about the U.S.- Mexico border and his many claims that it is vulnerable to terrorists, ISIS apparently also thought so, as knowledge of this ISIS plot came from the mouth of a now-repentant ISIS cadre,” the report states.  

If this story causes as much concern to you, as it does to myself, please contact your local and National States Representatives and Senators, and tell them! Demand that they work to keep our nation safe from these terrorists crossing our Southern border!

Remember...your elected officials work for YOU; so do your part to keep them focused on the issues that really matter, and which benefit all of us.

Unheraldered Trump Victory for the United States

From Judicial Watch there is news about yet another victory for President Trump and the United States that the mainstream media have completely failed to cover because of their unrelenting zeal to portray the President as a criminal in everything he does. Please read...

Trump Rids US Container Port of 

Chinese Communist Control

Under a long-term deal sealed by the Obama administration, a Chinese Communist company was set to control the second-busiest container port in the United States. In an unreported Trump administration victory, the Communists are out after a drawn-out national security review forced a unit of China-based COSCO Shipping Holdings Co. (Orient Overseas Container Line—OOCL) to sell the cherished container terminal business, which handles among the largest freight of imports into the U.S.

It all started with a 40-year container terminal lease between the Port of Long Beach in southern California and Hong Kong. The Obama administration proudly signed the agreement in 2012 giving China control of America’s second-largest container port behind the nearby Port of Los Angeles. One of the Trump administration’s first big moves was to get the Communists out of the Port of Long Beach. After a national security review and federal intervention, the Long Beach terminal business, which handles millions of containers annually, is finally being sold to an Australian company called Macquarie Infrastructure Partners. That essentially kills China’s decades-long contract with the Obama administration.

The deal never should have been signed in the first place considering the facility’s size, significance and the national security issues associated with a hostile foreign government controlling it. The southern California port is the premier U.S. gateway for trans-Pacific trade, according to its website, and handles trade valued at more than $194 billion annually. It is one of the few ports that can accommodate the world’s largest vessels and serves 140 shipping lines with connections to 217 seaports around the world. The facility encompasses 3,200 acres with 31 miles of waterfront, 10 piers, 62 berths and 68 post-Panamax gantry cranes. In 2018, the Long Beach port handled more than 8 million container units, achieving the busiest year in its history.

Removing Chinese Communists from this essential port is a tremendous feat and a huge victory for U.S. national security. You’d never know it because the media, consumed with the impeachment debacle, has ignored this important achievement. The only coverage of the finalized transfer is found in Long Beach’s local newspaper, which published a brief article omitting important background information on the Trump administration’s work to take back the terminal from the Communists. The story makes it seem like a regular business transaction in which “a Chinese state-owned company, reached a deal to sell the terminal, one of the busiest in the port, for $1.78 billion.” The piece also quotes the Port of Long Beach’s deputy executive director saying that the transaction process was intricate and involved one of “our most valuable port assets.” Buried at the bottom of the article is a sentence mentioning that the U.S. government, which regulates mergers for antitrust and security reasons, stepped in and required COSCO to sell its rights to the container terminal.

In the last few years China has bought cargo ports throughout the world, including in Latin America, the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Chinese-owned ports are located in Greece, Italy, Spain and other European locations. In sub-Saharan Africa there are dozens of existing or planned port projects funded or operated by China, according to a study that highlights the threat the Chinese investments present to U.S. influence in the region. One troubling analysis points out that “COSCO’s commercial expansion has created leverage for Beijing — leverage that has already resulted in countries that host COSCO ports adopting China’s position on key international issues.”

Debunking The 'Trump is a Racist' Myth—Larry Elder

Here is a video that perfectly illustrates the real hatred being perpetrated on Americans by the Democratic party. Facts on the matter are so inconvenient to the Democrats that they really have no answer for their hypocrisy. Please watch...













Here was my comment to this terrific video:



"Maxine Waters is the perfect example of the hypocrisy practiced by the liberal democrats. She literally calls for violence against everyone in the Trump Administration, then turns around and calls Trump hateful, racist, etc. What a joke! The Jimmy Carter quote had everything to do with hate, and ignored the fact that Obama disregarded the laws that he was supposed to protect. Your video is a fantastic illustration of the vile, hateful and destructive rhetoric that the Democrats are constantly hitting Americans over the heads with! Thank you!" 

The Declaration of Independence

With the July 4th celebrations quickly approaching, and with the current state of animus by a growing sector of US citizens who are against the basic freedoms and principles of our great country; who want to whitewash our history with distortions, falsehoods and outright lies, and who claim the our nation was not founded on Christian principles,          I thought to take the time to give you the full text of the Declaration of Independence.

This great founding  document that lays the foundation of the American Revolution, and aired the grievances of the American Colonies against the King of England. Please read.

In Congress, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
 

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
 
    He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
 
    He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
 
    He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
 
    He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
 
    He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
 
    He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
 

    He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
 
    He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
 
    He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
 
    He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
 
    He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
 
    For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
 
    For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
 
    For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
 
    For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
 
    For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

 

    For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
 
    For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
 
    For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
 
    He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
 
    He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
 
    He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
 
    He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
 
    He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
 
    Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
 
    We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
