Very Big Deal! US Amb. Stops $400 Million Cash Going from Germany to Iran

Germany’s powerful central bank – Deutsche Bundesbank – passed a new financial policy that will effectively block the transfer of nearly $400 million in cash to the Iranian regime. This is a bank that was sanctioned in the past for helping Iran with its nuclear program.

It’s a big deal because Iran and the EU are still doing business despite the U.S. sanctions. This transfer of cash was a means of circumventing the U.S.-imposed restrictions. Iran uses the cash for terrorism — cash isn’t easily traceable.
U.S. Ambassador Rick Grennell, doing an amazing job

The policy appears to be a response to efforts by the U.S. ambassador to Germany, Rick Grennell. It is by no means an easy or small diplomatic accomplishment.

Angela Merkel could step in and transfer the cash. Merkel’s government is considered the most pro-Iran friendly European governments.

Last month, Ambassador Grenell urged Berlin to prevent Iran’s withdrawal of large sums of cash from German bank accounts. It was a way for Iran to circumvent U.S. sanctions that took effect following Washington’s withdrawal from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

BILD reported in July that Iran’s regime seeks to use the European-Iranian trade bank in the northern German city of Hamburg – with the approval of the German government – to transfer the nearly $400 million in cash to circumvent pending US sanctions.

Both Israel and the U.S. are concerned [justifiably] that the cash will be used to finance terrorism. Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world.

Quiet diplomacy from U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell appears to have stopped a large 400 million dollar cash transfer to Iran.

The Jerusalem Post reported that an April German intelligence report from the state of Bavaria concluded that the Islamic Republic of Iran is working to turn...

Collusion: Chinese Spy Caught, Had Been at Diane Feinstein’s Side For 20+ Years

New details are emerging about a Chinese spy who managed to stay at the side of California Senator Diane Feinstien for over 20 years.

The spy was busted over 5 years ago but the story was largely downplayed and more details are just emerging:


Now, all eyes are on Chinese intelligence in the Bay Area after the website Politico reported last week that a staffer for Senator Feinstein turned out to be a Chinese spy who reported back to the government officials about local politics.
On Wednesday, the San Francisco Chronicle uncovered additional details in a column written by reporters Phil Matier and Andy Ross.
The column revealed that the Chinese spy was Feinstein’s driver who also served as a gofer in her Bay Area office and was a liaison to the Asian-American community.
He even attended Chinese consulate functions for the senator.
Feinstein — who was Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee at the time — was reportedly mortified when the FBI told her she’d be infiltrated.
Investigators reportedly concluded the driver hadn’t leaked anything of substance and Feinstein forced him to retire.
Former FBI agent and KPIX 5 security analyst Jeff Harp said he was not surprised.
“Think about Diane Feinstein and what she had access to,” said Harp. “One, she had access to the Chinese community here in San Francisco; great amount of political influence. Two, correct me if I’m wrong, Dianne Feinstein still has very close ties to the intelligence committees there in Washington, D.C.”
Harp ran counter espionage for the FBI in the Bay Area. He said in addition to traditional political intel and diplomatic secrets, Bay Area spies are often focused on things like R&D, technology and trade secrets.
“They also have an interest in the economy here. How to get political influence here,” said Harp. “What’s being developed in Silicon Valley that has dual-use technology. All of that is tied to the Bay Area.”
Of course the media would downplay this.

This would be national news for days if a Republican was involved.

The double standard and hypocrisy is...

Conservatives Praise Dinesh D’Souza’s ‘Death of a Nation’ as a ‘Must-See’

The successful documentary filmmaker hasn't gotten many positive reviews from critics, but the people love his latest flick

Dinesh D’Souza’s films have thus far successfully taken on the presidency of Barack Obama, the history of the Democratic Party, and America’s role in the world.

In his latest, “Death of a Nation,” he takes Trump critics head-on by drawing comparisons between Donald Trump and Abraham Lincoln. The film is based on two of D’Souza’s books, “The Big Lie” and “Death of a Nation.”

More than century ago, Democrats refused to accept the results of a free election, as a description of the film notes. The result was the targeted smearing of Lincoln, a war to defeat him — and, ultimately, his assassination.

D’Souza also addresses the impact of the Left’s disturbing tactics — such as casting President Trump and all those who support him as Nazi-like — in the face of Hillary Clinton’s stunning 2016 election loss.

Gerald R. Molen, the Academy Award-winning producer of Steven Spielberg’s “Schindler’s List” and of “Jurassic Park,” produced the film.

D’Souza and Molen also teamed up earlier, in 2012, for “2016: Obama’s America,” which examined the potential impact on the country of a second term for then-President Barack Obama.

D’Souza has continued to defy mainstream liberal Hollywood by becoming one of the most successful documentary filmmakers around, matched in box-office results only by leftist Michael 
Moore.

New Report Shows Obama Administration Gave DACA Protection to Thousands of Criminals

Historian Jacob Burckhardt once warned against being deceived by “terrible simplifiers.” If he hadn’t died in 1897, you might be tempted to think he was writing about defenders of President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

The left consistently characterizes all DACA recipients as though they were innocent, law-abiding Phi Beta Kappa college graduates. They also treat anyone questioning DACA as a child-hater. That is just one of the myths surrounding the program.

When President Donald Trump last tried to rescind DACA, a program that Obama implemented without legal authority or the approval of Congress, liberals decried the move as an attack on peace-loving immigrants. However, new research challenges that simplistic narrative.

Recently, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services did a comprehensive review of aliens who applied for benefits under DACA. Getting approved under DACA provided a period of deferred action (a promise that the alien would not be deported) as well as access to certain government benefits such as Social Security and Medicaid.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services found that approximately 8 percent of DACA beneficiaries had previously been arrested, including for crimes such assault, rape, and murder, yet were still approved.

Judicial Watch warned back in 2013 that DACA’s very limited vetting procedures were woefully inadequate, and the data has proven it right.

For those who think that, during the Obama administration, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services was actually checking the backgrounds of all DACA applicants, nothing could be further from the truth. It implemented a “lean and light” system in which only a few randomly selected DACA applications were ever actually investigated, and only rarely was any of the information on the applications themselves even verified.

This new data from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services contradict claims that DACA has not been a shield for criminal aliens. Director L. Francis Cissna lamented: “The truth is that we let those with criminal arrests for sexually assaulting a minor, kidnapping, human trafficking, child pornography, and even murder be provided protection from removal.”

Not only were some of the DACA beneficiaries—the so-called “Dreamers”—criminals before they received deferred action, but a number of them committed crimes after they...

IRS Documents Reveal RINO McCain’s Staff Director Urged IRS to Engage in “Financially Ruinous” Targeting of Conservative Groups

Empirical evidence that the spineless gutless RINOs and ossified GOP establishment are just as evil as their left-wing counterparts. And thanks t President Trump, they are/were super easy to identify – Never Trumpers.

JW released bombshell IRS docs showing Senator John McCain’s former staff director & chief counsel for Senate Homeland Security – Henry Kerner – urged top IRS officials (like Lois Lerner and others) to “audit so many that it becomes financially ruinous.”

On a side note: McCain reportedly told friends a week ago that he doesn’t want Trump at his funeral.)

McCain minority staff director Henry Kerner to IRS official Lois Lerner and other IRS

officials: “the solution is to audit so many that it becomes financially ruinous”

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released newly obtained internal IRS documents, including material revealing that Sen. John McCain’s former staff director and chief counsel on the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee, Henry Kerner, urged top IRS officials, including then-director of exempt organizations Lois Lerner, to “audit so many that it becomes financially ruinous.” Kerner was appointed by President Trump as Special Counsel for the United States Office of Special Counsel.


The explosive exchange was contained in notes taken by IRS employees at an April 30, 2013, meeting between Kerner, Lerner, and other high-ranking IRS officials. Just ten days following the meeting, former IRS director of exempt organizations Lois Lerner admitted that the IRS had a policy of improperly and deliberately delaying applications for tax-exempt status from conservative non-profit groups.

Lerner and other IRS officials met with select top staffers from the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee in a “marathon” meeting to discuss concerns raised by both Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) that the IRS was not reining in political advocacy groups in response to the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. Senator McCain had been the chief sponsor of the McCain-Feingold Act and called the Citizens United decision, which overturned portions of the Act, one of the “worst decisions I have ever seen.”

In the full notes of an April 30 meeting, McCain’s high-ranking staffer Kerner recommends harassing non-profit groups until they are unable to continue operating. Kerner tells Lerner, Steve Miller, then chief of staff to IRS commissioner, Nikole Flax, and other IRS officials, “Maybe the solution is to audit so many that it is financially ruinous.” In response, Lerner responded that “it is her job to oversee it all:”

Henry Kerner asked how to get to the abuse of organizations claiming...

NEW POLL: Donald Trump Is A More Popular President Than Barack Obama

The Establishment Media has tried very hard to convince Americans that Donald Trump is a highly divisive and unpopular president.

HE’S NOT.

In fact, Mr. Trump is more popular at this point in his presidency than Barack Obama was – a man the media worked equally hard to bolster and protect throughout his eight years in the White House.

BOOM! Trump Approval at 50% — 5 POINTS HIGHER THAN OBAMA at Same Point in His Presidency

Despite the continued media anti-Trump hysterics over the past several months including the meltdown after President Trump said kind words to Vlad Putin — the US president’s approval rating continues to rise. President Trump’s approval rating is currently at 50% on Rasmussen Reports.

Media darling Barack Obama had an approval rating of 45% on August 2, 2010. President Trump is now 5 points ahead of Barack Obama at a similar point in his presidency.
And this is while 90% of network media coverage has been negative of President Trump.

And here’s a punch to the gut of the Obama legacy – one of the primary reasons for Mr. Trump’s popularity are Hispanic voters!

Are Hispanics shifting their allegiances to President Trump?

A recent Harvard/Harris poll recorded a 10-point spike in Hispanic support for Mr. Trump. It hasn’t received much attention from the mainstream media, which is heavily invested in its portrait of the president as an unrepentant — and unpopular — “nativist.”

Coming in the midst of the nationwide controversy over...


Koch-Backed CATO Institute: ‘Time for the U.S. to Have Open Borders’

The Cato Institute, a think tank partially founded by the billionaire, pro-mass immigration Koch brothers, is advocating for full open borders to the United States.

In an op-ed for USA Today, the Cato Institute’s Director of Economic Studies, Jeffrey Miron, says the U.S. “has nothing to fear, and much to gain, from open borders,” saying that Americans should “forget” about putting a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to stop illegal immigration.

Miron downplayed the negative impact open borders would have on American citizens, writing:

Immigrants will not flood into America, although the rate of immigration might increase. Instead, much of the immigration will be temporary. Return migration happens because most people want to be near their families, surrounded by their own language, culture or religion. [Emphasis added]

Crime will not skyrocket. Available evidence shows that immigrants are no more crime-prone than natives. And the additional immigrants likely to enter under open borders would plausibly be even less so, because they have shown respect for the law by not immigrating illegally. [Emphasis added]

Terrorists could well enter via open borders, but they do so now illicitly. Little evidence suggests that our immigration restrictions prevent terrorist attacks. [Emphasis added]

Miron also works in the Department of Economics at Harvard University, an institution that has large borders and barriers for students to qualify.

The op-ed comes as President Trump has hit back at the GOP mega donor Koch brothers for their endless support for mass immigration and free trade.

“The globalist Koch Brothers, who have become a total joke in real Republican circles, are against Strong Borders and Powerful Trade,” Trump wrote on Tuesday. “I never sought their support because I don’t need their money or bad ideas.”

Over the weekend, the Koch brothers held a conference with donors where the heads of their network of organizations threatened to support pro-open borders Democrats in the upcoming 2018 midterm elections.

Charles Koch, at the conference, told the press that Trump’s recent tariffs on imported steel and aluminum were “unfair” to foreign countries and foreign workers.

Currently, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 million legal and illegal immigrants every year, with more than 70 percent coming to the country through chain migration, whereby newly naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the U.S. In the next 20 years, the current U.S. legal immigration system is on track to...
