Rice was told by Obama to write a CYA memo

Well, it turns out that former national security adviser Susan Rice was allegedly instructed by the Obama White House to write her memo about the Oval Office meeting with top officials regarding Michael Flynn, according to a report. The meeting also included Obama himself and Joe Biden.

The memo was written on the same day Donald Trump was sworn into office--January 20, 2017 and it concerned the meeting which took place two weeks prior.

On Wednesday, Fox News correspondent Gillian Turner reported  that Rice’s team confirmed to Fox News that “she was directed by White House Counsel to write the Jan 20, 2017 memorandum documenting an Oval Office meeting in which President Obama [and] National Security officials discussed Michael Flynn.”

Turner tweeted:

“The meeting took place on January 5, 2017, and involved Rice, Obama, and Vice President Biden, the administration’s top political hierarchy on national-security matters, along with Obama’s top law-enforcement and counterintelligence officials, deputy attorney general Sally Yates (soon formally to take the acting AG role she was already performing), and FBI director James Comey,” former U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy wrote Wednesday. “Prior redactions had already demonstrated that the meeting’s central purpose was to discuss the rationale for withholding intelligence about Russia from the incoming Trump national-security team.”

Rice’s “TOP SECRET” memo from January 20, 2017, was declassified by the Acting Director of the U.S. National Intelligence Richard Grenell and it stated:

On January 5, following a briefing by IC leadership on Russian hacking during the 2016 Presidential election, President Obama had a brief follow-on conversation with FBI Director Jim Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates in the Oval Office. Vice President Biden and I were also present. 

President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities “by the book”. The President stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book. 

From a national security perspective, however, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia. 

Director Comey affirmed that he is proceeding “by the book” as it relates to law enforcement. From a national security perspective, Comey said he does have some concerns that incoming NSA Flynn is speaking frequently with Russian Ambassador Kislyak. Comey said that could be an issue as it relates to sharing sensitive information. President Obama asked if Comey was saying that the NSC should not pass sensitive information related to Russia to Flynn. Comey replied ”potentially.” He added that he has no indication thus far that Flynn has passed classified information to Kislyak, but he noted that “the level of communication is unusual.” 

The President asked Comey to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. Comey said he would.

Attorney General William Barr debunked the claims that there was anything wrong with the communication Flynn had with the Russian ambassador.

"I was at the Iowa thing, leg hair corn pop"

“That call, there was nothing wrong with it whatever,” Barr said. “In fact, it was laudable. He– and it was nothing inconsistent with the Obama administration’s policies. And it was in U.S. interests. He was saying to the Russians, you know, ‘Don’t escalate.’ And they asked him if he remembered saying that, and he said he didn’t remember that.”

It was a case of Flynn doing his job.

McCarthy noted how Rice kept changing her story as more information became available. 

“Rice has gone from claiming to have had no knowledge of Obama administration monitoring of Flynn and other Trump associates, to claiming no knowledge of any unmaskings of Trump associates, to admitting she was complicit in the unmaskings, to — now — a call for the recorded conversation between retired general Michael Flynn and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak to be released because it would purportedly show that the Obama administration had good reason to be concerned about Flynn (y’know, the guy she said she had no idea they were investigating).”

Maybe the whole debacle over Flynn was simply due to a video.

Kyrsten Sinema is not on America's side

Kyrsten Sinema, the Democratic Senate candidate, who represents Arizona's 9th District in the House, is as honest as the scorpion talking to a frog.

Last week it was discovered that in 2003, Sinema had promoted campus appearances of Lynne Stewart, the radical lawyer who was being prosecuted for providing material support to terrorism. When Sinema was called out on it, she lied by distorting the facts of the case.

Stewart, who died in 2017, represented the terrorist, Omar Abdel Rahman [aka: the "Blind Sheikh"], who also died in 2017, just weeks before Stewart. Rahman was the jihadi whom Stewart was convicted of abetting; helping him communicate with his Egyptian terrorist mob from the U.S. prison where he was serving a life sentence for his role in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

In a scorching article in the National Review, Andrew McCarthy, the prosecutor who put Rahman behind bars, counters Sinema's "misrepresentations about her advocacy on Stewart's behalf."

McCarthy refers to Steward as a "jihadist-friendly lawyer," and says that although Sinema portrays herself as a moderate progressive, she is anything but. In 2003, in what Fox News describes as a "now-closed Yahoo group," known as Local to Global Justice, she encouraged people to attend two events in which Stewart was the featured speaker.

This came at a time when Stewart was under federal indictment for providing material support to terrorism and Sinema knew it.

Stewart had two co-defendants, Ahmed Abdel Sattar and Mohammed Yousry, both longtime aides to Abdel Rahman with whom she was accused of facilitating the Blind Sheikh's communication with the Islamic terrorist group,  Gama'at al Islamia, an Egyptian terrorist organization that the Blind Sheikh helped found in the early 1980s, when it participated in the assassination of President Anwar al-Sadat.

When Stewart and her co-scum committed the crimes alleged in the indictment, Abdel Rahman had been convicted in the WTC bombing and subsequent [unsuccessful] plot to bomb New York City landmarks and other terrorist plots.

Gama'at, in an attempt to obtain Abdel Rahman's release, threatened to "target . . . all of those Americans who participated in subjecting [Abdel Rahman's] life to danger" --"every American official, starting with the American president [down] to the despicable jailer."

Perhaps even the prison janitor.

A match made in Jahannam

And six months later, this group of jihadis attacked 58 foreign tourists and several police officers at an archeological site in Luxor, Egypt. They brutally shot them and then sliced them to death. Gama'at left behind leaflets--including the mutilated torso of one of its victims--demanding the Blind Sheikh be released.

The group later issued a statement warning that the forcible struggle against the Egyptian regime would continue unless Mubarak met its 3 demands: implementing sharia [law], the ceasing of diplomatic relations with Israel, and "the return of our Sheikh and emir to his land."

And the killings continued but to no avail.

These are the killers, the jihadis that Stewart helped the Blind Sheikh to consult with and direct by unlawfully transmitting messages, in direct contravention of enhanced confinement measures the DoJ's Bureau of Prisons (BOP) put in place to prevent such communications between the convicted blind scumcrumpet and his minions.

After Stewart's indictment in 2002, she was praised by many radical left-wing morons that opposed a forcible response to the 911 attacks. Sinema's Local to Global Justice was among these groups.

Aside from Sinema's defense of those who want to fight for the Taliban, she also maintained that Stewart was "emphatically not guilty." She said that Stewart was charged only because of surveillance powers enabled by the "hastily enacted PATRIOT Act." She insisted that Stewart was merely "doing her job for the past 27 years as an outspoken criminal defense lawyer."

If Sinema somehow beats Martha McSally, an American combat veteran, in the midterm elections, that would be a tragedy and an indication that the country is going to hell in a hand basket.

Texas imam wants to kill Jews as called for in Islamic scripture

Sheikh Ramadan Elsabagh (he changed it from Elsaburgstein because it sounded too Jewish) a Texas imam of the jihad faith, has called for Israel's destruction and "their allies, and those who assist them and those who allowed them into the abodes of the Muslims" . . . in Arabic, hoping only anti-Semites would understand him. 

The imam's call came after President Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital, which it has always been but the world pretended otherwise.

"Our Lord. Help holy Palestine," the anti-Semite chanted. ". . . O Allah, be with your oppressed worshipers in Palestine, O Allah destroy the Zionists and their allies, and those who assist them and those who allowed them into the abodes of the Muslims. By your power, O mighty one, O mighty one, through your power and might, O Allah, deflect them with what you will, and however you will, for you are omnipotent, and with a response omnipotent."

Elsabagh is listed as the head of the Islamic Services Foundation Quran Institute in Garland, Texas, and is a featured Quran reader on a host of Internet sites, and he is also seen on Google Play and iTunes.

In conclusion, the hater said: "O Allah save [Al Aqsa] from the hands of the accursed violators, whom you have cursed in every book, and cursed them through every prophet. O Allah destroy them."

He's right--the Quran has the anti-Christian and anti-Semitic quotes and the Hadith explains the quotes and what inspired them. The other scripture, the Sira, is a biography of Muhammad's life and describes how he married a 6-year-old Aisha, and beheaded 900 Jews for refusing to convert to Islam, and robbed travelers.

The video made by the imam received several "amen, amen" responses and one of those was from Said Abbasy.

Abbasy is a New York-based Muslim Brotherhood supporter who has mourned the death of Omar Abdel Rahman (aka The Blind Sheikh) considered to be the spiritual guide for the 1993 World Trade Center bombers. Rahman was convicted for a plot to attack other New York landmarks and assassinate high-profile targets. 

Andrew McCarthy was the prosecutor who helped but his butt in prison.

Abbasy posted his thoughts on Facebook about Rahman: "Oh God, take vengeance on those who wronged him."

McCarthy is doing just fine in spite of Abbasy's prayer for vengeance.

Garland, Texas was the scene of a terrorist attack on May 3, 2015, the first claimed by ISIS. It was a free speech, "Draw Muhammad Contest" led by activist Pamela Geller. 

The only deaths were those of the two terrorists.

Over 100 people were inside the building and the terrorists, Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi, drove up to a checkpoint manned by a Garland police officer and school security guard, Bruce Joiner.

The terrorists opened fire with automatic rifles and Joiner was shot in the leg. Officer Greg Stevens returned fire with his handgun and a SWAT team on the scene shot both terrorists in the head, which had a deleterious effect on their lives.

"This is standard Islamic belief," Geller told the media. "This imam may be reacting to President Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, but Muhammad says that Muslims will kill Jews and the Jews will hide behind the trees, and the trees will cry out, 'O Muslim, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.' Trump's decision is smoking out some of these Jew-haters, but American authorities are eventually going to have to face the fact that this is the Islamic mainstream, not 'extremism.' And it is Islamic Jew-hatred as commanded in Islamic texts and teachings that fuels this holy war against the Jewish state."

As Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said:

"If the Arabs put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel."

Sadly, that's a fact.

DNC Chair Ignored reformers, engaged Islamists

People who know Rep. Keith Ellison may have been relieved when he lost the election for DNC chairman to Tom Perez, but don't be fooled. Perez's record is just as sketchy and he chose Ellison as his deputy chairman.

As assistant attorney general of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, he sat with the Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups along with their allies in talks about counter-terrorism training and investigations as well as laws punishing "hate speech," against Islam, the religion of peace.

That's like giving the keys to the pharmacy to a Colorado liberal.

Perez did not use Muslim and non-Muslim critics for outreach on these issues, he only groups associated with a terrorist-funding organization and classified as a terrorist group by Russia in 2003, Syria in 2013, Egypt in 2013, Saudi Arabia in 2014, Bahrain in 2014 and the UAE in 2014.

Andrew McCarthy, the federal prosecutor who put the "Blind Sheikh" behind bars for life. The "Blind Sheikh" was behind the 1993 World Trade Center truck bombing and died a few weeks ago in prison. 

McCarthy pointed out at the time that excluding the Islamist groups' rivals out of the discussions, like Perez is doing, "are making these Islamist groups into the representatives of Muslims in the United States."

In 2012, Perez refused to answer a simple question posed by Rep. Trent Frank (R-AZ) while testifying before the House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on the Constitution:

"Will you tell us here today that this Administration's Department of Justice will never entertain or advance a proposal that criminalizes speech against any religion?"

He hemmed and hawed, stammered and spoke incomprehensibly. 

Once he became Secretary of Labor, Perez gave groups such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) a voice while excluding those on the other side. 

In 2015, CAIR-Florida Communications Director Wilfredo Amr Ruiz was invited to a roundtable with Perez about immigration and wage issues. This meeting with CAIR is officially prohibited by FBI policy. CAIR is not permitted to be involved in outreach programs, but Perez obviously didn't care.

But Ruiz is more dangerous than you may imagine. Last year he spoke on Newsmax TV and made the taqiyya-style claim that there are no terrorist networks in the US since 2001. The word 'taqiyya' means lying for the furthering of Islam in the world.

Prominent Democrat Alan Dershowitz said that if Ellison won the DNC chair position that he would leave the party. Well Perez won the chair, but Ellison is the deputy chair, and Ellison is not only an apologist for Louis Farrakhan, a blatant anti-Semitic, but he is in a position to have CAIR more responsible for providing some of the DNC's talking points.
