Presidential hopeful wants Finland out of EU, says nationalists will bounce back

HELSINKI (Reuters) - Finland will leave the European Union and position itself as the Switzerland of the north to protect its independence if Laura Huhtasaari, the presidential candidate of the eurosceptic Finns Party has her way.

She also told Reuters in an interview she wants to tighten immigration rules.

Huhtasaari -- dubbed "Finland's Marine Le Pen" after France's National Front leader -- is a long-shot. But she believes she has a real chance in the January election as her party has taken a fresh start following its removal from the coalition government in June.

"The rise in Europe of parties that are critical towards the EU and immigration is due to bad, unjust politics," she said. "The role for Finland in the euro zone is the role of a loser and payer...

"I do not want Finland to become a province of EU, Finns must stand up for Finland's interests."

The Finns Party, formerly called "True Finns", rose from obscurity during the euro zone debt crisis with an anti-EU platform, complicating the bloc's bailout talks with troubled states.

It expanded into the second-biggest parliamentary party in 2015 and joined the government, but then saw its support drop due to compromises in the three-party coalition.

This June, the party picked a new hard-line leadership and got kicked out of the government, while more than half of its lawmakers left the party and formed a new group to keep their government seats.

Huhtasaari, 38, who was picked as deputy party leader in June, said voters were still confused after the split-up but that the party would eventually bounce back.

"The game is really brutal. The biggest parties want us to disappear from the political map. No-one is in politics looking for friends."

House Bill Would Name Those Who Have Used Taxpayer Funds to Settle Sex Harassment Claims

Legislation introduced by Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) last month would require the Congressional Office of Compliance to submit to Congress the names of those members who have used taxpayer funds to settle sexual harassment claims, require the members to reimburse the U.S. Treasury, and void non-disclosure agreements so victims can tell their stories.

The “Congressional Accountability and Hush Fund Elimination Act,” introduced by DeSantis on Nov. 30, currently has 88 co-sponsors.

"What does it say about the sincerity of Congress in combatting harassment when members and staff can have taxpayers cover for their misconduct while keeping it all secret?,” DeSantis said in a statement. “This legislation will protect taxpayers by making congressional settlement data public, barring tax dollars from being used to bail out congressional misconduct and requiring reimbursement of the treasury by members and staff who have had taxpayer-financed settlements paid on their behalf. The bill will also allow victims to speak publicly about harassment suffered irrespective of any non-disclosure agreements.”

According to the bill, “Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Office of Compliance shall submit to Congress and make available to the public on the Office’s public website a report on all...

Time to End Mueller’s Wild Reign of Malfeasance?

Since before President Trump’s election, what appears to be a very large cabal at the US Federal Bureau of Investigation has been active in the planning and implementation of its coup d’état against Donald J. Trump should he win the US presidency. Said policy would, ostensibly, be activated—when and just in case Mr. Trump was elected—by what Deputy Assistant Directors of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok (one of the Mueller-hired biased-against-Trump investigators who also referred to Trump voters being smelly Walmart shoppers and many more vile ‘observations’ in emails sent to Strzok’s lover Lisa Page). Mr. Trump was elected. The investigation of Trump’s incoming team began.

Highly-sexualized, inflammatory, disturbing and now debunked “dossier”

Based upon a highly-sexualized, inflammatory, disturbing and now debunked “dossier” created and provided by former MI6 British Agent Christopher Steele and commissioned and paid for by Hillary Rodham Clinton and her team—was used in an attempted takedown of then President-elect Trump. Note: According to Forbes, the plot was launched within 24 hours after Trump’s election. Virtually all of Mueller’s team-against-Trump is comprised of Hillary Clinton Democrat donors and/or those who have rabidly supported her. One notable is Justin Cooper who actually admitted to destroying evidence that would likely have been gained against Hillary Clinton by—on at least two occasions—destroying her cell phones and “breaking them in half or hitting them with a hammer!” Another of the Mueller nightmare team—Aaron Zebley—was the attorney who represented Cooper. Yet, another Mueller investigator—Jeannie Rhee—has strong ties to the (supposedly) dismantled ‘Clinton Foundation’ and personally represented Ben Rhodes. Bre Payton of The Federalist writes: “Rhee also served as the personal attorney for Ben Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser for President Barack Obama who infamously bragged about lying to reporters to dupe lawmakers and the public into supporting the Iran Deal.” Rhee also represented The Clinton Foundation. On top of these, the Mueller team is comprised of other Hillary donors with Rhee, alone, having given over $16,000 to Democrats and the legally allowed limits to both of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns.

Then we have the pièce de résistance member of the Mueller malevolent team and the man who, almost, single-handedly destroyed Enron, Arthur Andersen Consulting and Merrill Lynch. Andrew Weisman has a long and allegedly sordid career of lying, not producing exculpatory information to defense attorneys and the courts and being overturned by higher courts…including SCOTUS. Weisman was instrumental in sending...

THE MUSLIM TERRORIST WHO HATED CHRISTMAS

Religious freedom means keeping terrorists out.

Akayed Ullah, a Bangladeshi Muslim living in Brooklyn, really hated Christmas. He hated Christmas so much that he used Christmas tree lights (along with a battery and some wire) as a trigger for a pipe bomb. He filled the pipe bomb with screws so that when it went off, metal shrapnel would tear bloody holes through morning commuters in Manhattan.

Wearing a hooded jacket and a backpack to cover the pipe bomb strapped to his body, Ullah got on the F Train at the 18th Avenue elevated subway station off Little Bangladesh. Like the Duke Ellington song says, he switched over to the A Train at Jay Street. It was early morning, but there were plenty of people riding the train. Jay Street is a major transit hub. But Ullah was waiting to blow up somewhere else.

He got off in the crush at the 42nd-St. Port Authority station. Here a whole lot of people can be found rushing up and down crowded staircases and shoving their way through cramped corridors.

Ullah took the long underground corridor that runs between the Port Authority station and Times Square. He strode past movie and beauty ads. He walked under the discouraging poem, “Overslept, So tired, If late, Get fired, Why bother? Why the pain? Just go home. Do it again.” But he wasn’t going home. And there would be no opportunities to do it again. The Muslim terrorist was...
