During Donald Trump’s whirlwind 27 hour stop in Israel this week, he took the time to visit a young cancer patient whose dream it was to meet the President.

14 year old Emilee Imbar has been battling cancer for the past seven years at the Rachashei Lev center for pediatric cancer. Director Shimi Geshayed reached out through long time supporter Benjamin Netanyahu in order to arrange the visit – a dream of Emilee’s, who said she would be “glad to sit with you for a business metting [sic].”

Was it just a gratuitous photo op?

Maybe, but this wouldn’t be the first time Trump has been there for an ill child. Nearly thirty years ago he came to the rescue of a desperate family in need.

Back in 1988, Rabbi Harold “Hershy” Ten and his wife Judy were at their wits end. They needed to get their then three-year-old son Andrew to New York City from Los Angeles for medical treatment. The toddler suffered from a rare and undiagnosed breathing illness.

But commercial airlines declined to fly Andrew, who couldn’t leave home without several pieces of medical equipment including a portable oxygen tank and suction machine, according to an archived Jewish Telegraphic Agency story.

Desperate for help, the family called on Trump, who agreed to provide his private Boeing 727. Once the plane landed in LaGuardia, Andrew was whisked to the Schneider Children’s Hospital of Long Island Jewish Medical Center. –TimesOfIsrael

Even the degenerate partisan shills at Snopes say it’s true.

Trump wasn’t pandering for votes, mind you – and though the MSM would never tell you, he’s known for random acts of kindness – from paying off a good Samaritan’s mortgage, to sending $10k to a bus driver who talked a woman out of suicide, to taking care of Jennifer Hudson right after her family was murdered, to saving a Georgia farm from foreclosure in 1986, to stopping a mugger actively beating a guy with a bat. He also helped a lost child find the lobby of the Plaza hotel.

Over the years, the President has also given nearly a half million dollars through his foundation to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Operation Smile – which offers free surgeries to children in developing countries born with cleft palates. –Forbes

Yet, the MSM failed to cover Trump’s recent visit with cancer patient Emilee Imbar

It seems as though the MSM’s disdain for all things Trump has resulted in a media blackout. Perhaps the optics of an act of kindness by the President would have forced liberals to confront two narrative-destroying facts: Donald Trump is a friend of Israel, and he isn’t a monster.

Considering the MSM’s deep ties to Judaism, the media must hate Trump more than they care about reporting a feel-good story they would have fallen all over had it been any other President. Sad!

Journalist Glenn Greenwald, who is not a fan of President-elect Trump, appeared on Tucker Carlson tonight to discuss the dangerous ongoing effort among powerful anti-Trump factions within the US Government’s “Deep State,” who have collaborated with members of the Democratic Party and the traditionally liberal media to inflict maximum damage on the incoming President. Recall Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s ominous “six ways from Sunday” comment from 10 days ago.

Greenwald, an accomplished litigator, journalist, and author, does a masterful job illustrating the players, motives, and potential fallout from this dangerous effort within the US Government’s intelligence apparatus. Greenwald goes deep, discussing how Trump’s election ruined the plan for regime change in Syria, specifically mentioning, among other things, that the deep state was waiting for Obama to leave office before executing their plan:

The number one foreign policy priority of the CIA over the last four to five years has been the proxy war they’re waging in Syria to remove Bashar Al Assad – and Hillary Clinton was quite critical of Obama for constraining them. She wanted to escalate that war to unleash the CIA, to impose a no-fly zone in Syria to confront Russia, whereas Trump took the exact opposite position. He said we have no business in Syria trying to change the government, we ought to let the Russia and Assad go free and killing ISIS and Al Quaeda and whoever else they want to kill.

He [Trump] was a threat to the CIA’s primary institutional priority of regime change in Syria. Beyond that, Clinton wanted a much more confrontational and belligerent posture towards Moscow, which the CIA has been acrimonious with for decades, whereas Trump wanted better relations. They viewed Trump as a threat to their institutional pre-eminence to their ability to get their agenda imposed on Washington.

What you’re seeing is actually quite dangerous. There really is at this point obvious open warefare between this un-elected, but very powerful faction that resides in Washington and sees Presidents come and go – on the one hand, and the person that the American democracy elected to be elected on the other. There’s clearly extreme conflict and subversion taking place. ‘

This really is a must-watch, and goes hand-in-hand with Tucker’s interview with Dr. Stephen Cohen this week:

Meanwhile ex-spook and security consultant John Schindler – who is very clearly part of the faction to remove Trump by any means, sent out an ominous tweet yesterday which mentioned “taking traitor Trump out now.”

This is overt, and Schindler also just more or less outed Washington Post’s David Ignatius as a CIA mouthpiece (along the same vein as Deep Throat, perhaps we can refer to Ignatius’s source as Golden Shower?).

This cavalier attitude towards assassinating Donald Trump has been supported by social media giant Facebook:

And nothing, to the best of my knowledge, has been done about the multitude of death threats Trump has received – including ones from individuals who have visited the White House and have CIA connections.

Meanwhile 8 years ago, a La Mesa, California man was charged, arrested, and thrown in a halfway house for 60 days for going on a drunken, racist, profanity laced online tirade against President-elect Obama ending in “he will have a 50 cal in the head soon.” – a conviction which was later reversed when the threats were found to be not credible.

Perhaps the secret service is merely spread too thin to investigate these threats, or perhaps President-elect Trump is wise to have his own private security.

Fly’s recent posts on Russia have me thinking about things Putin has said in recent years, such as comporting oneself in a host country. But first, let’s get this out of the way – Vladimir Putin is a cutthroat ex-KGB agent who has probably killed lots of people using a number of methods and various implements. He’s risen to the top of Russian politics; hooking his homies up while crushing enemies via hydraulic airplane malfunctions and polonium pellets – acts not entirely unexpected of world leaders and their surrogates. Of course as should be the case with any ex-adversary, everything Putin says is subject to scrutiny for ulterior motives and ‘Murica-underminin’ communist tendencies – but can the left please stop with the extreme Russophobia? It’s embarrassing. Some of you sound like fucking retards with your Red Dawn fantasies. Seriously, lay out your scenario for how Putin and Trump getting along translates to invasion – I want to hear it.

And as the froth forms in the corners of your mouth – let’s not forget who has actual shady ties to Russia.

Between 2008 – 2010, Uranium One / UrAsia investors donated $8.65 to the Clinton Foundation.

June 2009, Russian State Nuclear Agency Rosatom (through a subsidiary) takes a 17% stake in Uranium One.

June 2010, Russian State Nuclear Agency Rosatom takes majority ownership of Uranium One, which Hillary Clinton’s State Department signed off on.

June 29th, 2010, Bill Clinton makes $500,000 for a speech in Moscow to a Russian Investment bank that assigned a “buy” rating to Uranium One stock.

January, 2013: Rosatom State Nuclear Agency now owns Uranium one and takes it private.

Moreover, John Podesta’s creepy ass pedo/cannibal art collecting brother Tony runs the Podesta group (founded by John), which made $180,000 lobbying for Uranium One. These donations were made over the same time period that the Clinton Foundation was receiving millions from UrAsia / U1 interests. Tony Podesta also sat on the board (along with senior Russian officials) of a small energy company called Joule. Two months after Podesta joined the board, Joule landed a sweet $35 Million contract from Vladimir Putin’s Rusnano investment fund – which Podesta failed to disclose as required by law. Oh, and before joining the Clinton Campaign, John Podesta transferred 75,000 shares of Joule to his daughter through a shell company with her address. Maybe the optics didn’t look good or something? 

So the left can fuck right off with their irrational fears about Trump and Russia until they address all of that bullshit first.

ANYWAY – the whole reason for this post is to suggest that maybe we should consider listening to Putin’s suggestions for respecting the cultures one finds themselves in. In a nutshell: if you move to a country and your beliefs are offensive to the local population, don’t force your lifestyle and ideology on them. Respect where you are, and if you can’t then go back from whence you came.

Very short clip.

And what’s Putin’s answer for the refugee crisis?

The international community needs to rebuild their countries instead of re-homing displaced families in European and American suburbs. Refugees undoubtedly need compassionate support – but the way to fundamentally solve the problem is to restore and strengthen their native governments and institutions and provide assistance rebuilding. The madman.

Russophobes can say what they want, but I find Putin’s ideas preferable to the Neocon plan for more war and fast-tracking refugees into Western suburbs – many of whom are fine with dead Americans. Look, Putin just wants to direct the flow of energy into Europe, he’s not coming to get you. Here’s a leaked email between Colin Powell and top strategic advisor Harlan Ullman discussing the fact that Putin has no intention of moving West [Ullman’s comments highlighted, and source].

Tits need to be calmed.

Don’t we have the best titans of industry, folks?

In an unsurprising move, Donald Trump has tapped campaign consultant Carl Ichan as a “Special Advisor” on Federal regulations. The 80 year old activist investor who has advised Trump on picks for the Treasury, Commerce Department, EPA, and the SEC, is now going to be in a position to find ways to stimulate economic growth by rolling back investment-repelling “overregulation.”  As the WSJ reports:

Needless to say, if you fuck with Carl, he’s gonna come after you with both guns blazing. I don’t want to hear about Ichan’s conflicts of interest – the guy is worth $15 Billion dollars, so of course he has investments all over the place. Should the country be run by poor academics with no real world experience? They all seem to be wealthy by the time they leave office, yet jobs continue to flee the country as US manufacturers throw in the towel. Let’s assume, until proven otherwise, that Trump, Carl, and the rest of the crew are going to act in the best interests of America.

Despite leaving several messages, Bill Ackman unable to be reached for comment.

Coinciding with a new article in the Washington Post, claiming that the FBI and CIA are now in agreement on the Russian hack – President Obama gave a press conference today in which he spoke on the issue.

Long and short of it; the Russians did it, the White House knew about the hacks over the summer, but Obama downplayed the effect so as not to influence the election. There will be an intelligence report issued before Obama leaves office, however it won’t contain all the evidence for national security reasons. The President also suggested that the media’s spotlight on the Wikileaks “possibly embarrassing but not illegal” leaks had a lot to do with public influence. Very smooth, Barry.

Going forward, as expected, the administration – as evidenced by Obama’s own language as well as John Kerry’s rhetoric this week, does not want to throw the country into disarray with a messy transition.

Highlights:

Obama made it clear that his administration knew about the hacking over the summer, but the White House didn’t want to spotlight the issues.

There is an official report coming which will show the Russians did it, and the decision went to the top (Putin ordered).

Told Russia to “cut it out” (lol).

On election integrity:

I can assure the public that there was no tampering with the voting process [no vote machine hacking]. Votes cast were counted. Not seen evidence of machines being tampered with.

On the question of providing proof of hacking:

We will provide evidence that we can safely provide, that does not compromise sources and methods, but I’ll be honest – when we’re talking about cyber security, a lot of it’s classified and we aren’t going to provide it, as it would reveal methods.

(Just believe our intelligence community – they are more trustworthy than the Russians).

Role of FAKE NEWS:

If FAKE NEWS being released by a foreign gov. is almost identical to reports that are being issued through partisan news venues (Breitbart?) then it’s not surprising that the foreign propaganda will have a greater effect.

Moving forward, Obama pointed out issues raised by the hacking.

1. Cybersecurity – constant hacking always goin’ on
2. This particular concern about Russian hacking part of a broader set of concerns; how do we deal with cyber issues being used in ways that can affect our infrastructure and stability of our financial system, and our election process.
3. The problem with hacking is that it’s hard to prove exactly who did it, but we know it was the Russians.
4. The USA needs to create international norms to prevent a cyber arms-race

Obama expounded that the USA’s primary vulnerability to Russia, or any other foreign power, lies in how divided we are as a nation.

Response To Russia? Obama made it clear that while the Russians hacked the DNC and Podesta, the election itself went off without a hitch, and the integrity of our elections process was not tarnished (voting machines not hacked, etc.). That does not mean we aren’t going to respond:

“Our goal continues to be to send a clear message not to do this to us, because we can do stuff to you. Need to do in a thoughtful, methodical way. Some of it will be public, some of it will be clandestine.”

Important for the Democratic party going forward – How do we show up in places where democratic policies are needed? How do we reach people? Need to shed the latte sippin’ elitist image. (ya think?) If we look for one explanation, or one silver bullet, or one easy fix, we’re going to be disappointed. A lot of factors went into why Hillary lost the election. 

With respect to the FBI: it is always a challenge for law enforcement when there is an intersection between their job, and politics. We have a system where we want our law enforcement investigators to be free from politics, but sometimes that involves investigations that touch on  politics. In this hyper-partisan environment, everything is suspect. Obama has tried to remain hands-off to preserve independence of law enforcement.

Electoral College: Not weighing in on intel briefing. Obama said the EC is a vestige of an older by-gone era. Some structures in our political system that no longer apply, but typically the popular and electoral college votes will align.

TL:DR calm your tits, after being in full possession of the facts, Obama isn’t going to declare martial law, and Trump will be President on January 20th, should electors, some of whom are lying sacks of shit, keep the faith.

Just remember who’s got actual ties to Russia:

Boy, these liberal billionaires have an uncanny ability to adapt and overcome, as earlier today on CNBC Bill Gates compared the President-elect to JFK. This comes on the heels of Hillary supporters Warren Buffet and Mark Cuban attaining enlightenment and concluding that Trump isn’t such a bad guy after all.

From CNBC:

“A lot of his message has been about … where he sees things not as good as he’d like,” the billionaire Microsoft co-founder said on “Squawk Box.”

“But in the same way President Kennedy talked about the space mission and got the country behind that,” Gates continued, “I think whether it’s education or stopping epidemics … [or] in this energy space, there can be a very upbeat message that [Trump’s] administration [is] going to organize things, get rid of regulatory barriers, and have American leadership through innovation.” –CNBC

Recall that this interview was brought to you by the network which told us that Trump was going to lead to immediate and utter devastation in the markets were we to win the election, and now we’re 125 points away from DOW 20 THOUSAND (or 8.8% in the 5 weeks since the election). Of course, as Fly has mentioned, the history books will give this win to Obama.

Tonight on Fox News Sunday, President-elect Trump addressed several controversial topics, answering some fairly hardball questions from Fox’s Mike Wallace. In response to questions on WaPo’s report on Russian hacking, and who he thinks is spreading these rumors, Trump said that this entire narrative is coming from the left, who are sore losers after suffering “one of the greatest defeats in the history of politics,” and that the spy agencies are confused right now. “Take a look, they’re not sure, they’re fighting among themselves!” Trump points out that they have no clue who did the hacking, and it could have been anyone. Wallace then asks how Trump can possibly trust the information from these people he has to rely on for information – to which Trump replied:

“I’ll make changes at the top. I mean we’re gonna have different people coming in because we have our people, they have their people”

(see below)

 

The rest of the interview covered several other hot-button topics. In summary:

Swamp Draining:

Trump says he wants to make good deals for this country, suggesting we don’t need bloated programs like a $4.2 Billion dollar Air Force One. We need to look at the bad deals made, such as the hundreds of billions of dollars wasted on the F35 program.

Trump also said that the people [government officials] making these deals should have a lifetime ban from working for these companies.

EPA:

Trump says the 10-15 year wait for permits is a huge problem. Companies don’t want to apply for a permit (mining, for example), and wait 10-15 years only to be denied. This type of red tape drives businesses out of the country. Because of this, China and other countries “are eating our lunch.” THAT SAID, Trump said his EPA wouldn’t do bad deals [for the environment].

Dakota Access Pipeline:

No comment, as it may be resolved before he gets into office. If it isn’t, Trump said he would solve it “very quickly.”

Obama’s legacy:

Not going to “take a wrecking ball” to it. There are things they agree on, and things they never will.

Appointing generals:

When asked about criticism over taking council from Generals; Trump said that Generals had “passed the test of life, that’s how they got to be generals” and others didn’t. Trump also mentioned that Obama had the same exact numbers of Generals at his disposal.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson:

Though initially coy about the question of the next Secretary of State, Trump did defend Tillerson – saying he’s much more than just a CEO. He’s the CEO of the world’s largest company, he knows many of the players around the world (world leaders of oil producing nations), and Tillerson is a “world class player.”

Call with Taiwan:

“Suck my nuts” could be the best way to describe Trump’s answer. While Trump said he recognized the “One-China” policy, he questioned why we’re honoring it when China treats us so poorly. The President-elect railed against China’s currency manipulation, tariffs they impose on US exports, and building a giant fortress in the middle of the ocean. Furthermore, Trump doesn’t want China dictating to him – and it would have been disrespectful for him not to have taken the call.

Carrier deal and factories:

Trump made it clear that his administration is going to offer tax breaks to companies looking to send jobs and factories overseas. Those who ignore this offer and send jobs overseas to make shit that they sell right back to US consumers, are going to face a 35% tariff on goods re-entering the USA. Trump mentioned that the Wall St. Journal has no clue WTF they’re talking about on this subject.

Keeping his stake in Celebrity Apprentice:

Trump said he would maintain his stake in the enterprise, but would not be involved whatsoever while his children run his business empire. Trump said he’s turned down “7 deals” from a major player in the last week, and that the money he spent on the election is peanuts compared to the money he’s giving up as the President. Trump said he was happy to leave his business behind, as this is a calling, a higher purpose. Trump told Wallace “I’m not going to do [personal] deals.”

As readers of this site know, the #Pizzagate story is back in play after a strange man with a gun entered Comet Ping Pong and allegedly fired a round into the ground. Within hours of the incident, embers of discussion around the internet erupted into a forest fire after Mike Flynn Jr. and Jake Tapper got into a DM argument over Flynn’s #Pizzagate tweet.

Tapper, as you may know, was revealed by Wikileaks to be a Democrat shill – fielding questions from the DNC to sabotage Trump / Cruz in upcoming interviews. Coincidentally, of the 1,684 pizza restaurants in DC, Comet Ping Pong (#pizzagate ground zero) is the Tapper family’s favorite. (as an aside; Jennifer worked for this AmeriCorps)

In response to the Tapper / Flynn spat, Morning Joe went apeshit, calling Flynn Jr.’s tweets “Absolutely Abhorrent”

.@JoeNBC on Gen. Flynn’s son’s job in transition team despite his controversial tweets: That’s absolutely abhorrent https://t.co/XyIudwFLQ1

— Morning Joe (@Morning_Joe) December 6, 2016

Hours later, Donald Trump fired Flynn Jr. from his transition team, drawing a hard line in the sand over #pizzagate. The message is clear; Trump will not entertain unproven conspiracy theories.

The bigger story here is that the MSM reaction to #pizzagate is to castrate the messenger instead of critically examining the evidence. When they do attempt to scratch at the surface, it’s utterly incorrect – stating things like “Conspiracy theorists believe Hillary Clinton was running a child trafficking ring out of the back of a pizza restaurant.” Wrong, totally wrong.

Flynn Jr.’s tweets were merely pointing out two things – namely:

• There are a lot of strange coincidences in the #Pizzagate controversy, as revealed by the #PodestaEmails
• Until this story is disproven, the issue isn’t going to go away

That was not an endorsement, or a rekindling, or a call to action. It was simply an observation after the topic resurfaced. People want to know why the Podestas and Comet Pizza are fans of pedo and cannibal art. Or why they’re joking about selling babies. Or why they use the phrase #chickenlover – a term used in the gay community to describe a man who likes underage boys. Or why Podesta remained friends with convicted pedo Dennis Hastert, or engaged in late night #spiritcooking sessions with Marina Abramović, or had strange logos created that were apparently too lascivious to forward. There’s not a lot of ambiguity here – these data points are out there. It’s human nature to identify the members of the village that you shouldn’t leave your kids with, and people understandably want answers when our leaders are seemingly steeped in “abhorrent” behavior. Calling all of this “Fake News” implies that there is a perfectly reasonable explanation, which is all people want.

Instead, the re-emergence of #Pizzagate was the spark needed to kick the war on #FAKENEWS into overdrive. Don’t fall for it.

The entire “Fake News” narrative is an attempt to control what you know about the world. Thanks to the internet, anyone with a keyboard can share their opinion. When the Drudge Report broke the Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1998, it was the opening salvo in the assault on the mainstream media’s control over information. With the passage of time, alternative media outlets have grown in size and readership, and distrust of the MSM is at all time highs.

Do you blame people for questioning the news? Over the course of this election alone, we learned that much of the media is completely cucked. Those who aren’t end up dead – often from mysterious circumstances.

The battle over hearts and minds is won by treating people like adults, and this war on #FAKENEWS is entirely condescending. The premise is that you are too stupid to critically analyze information – that we’re all sheep, and we need real news outlets to shepherd us away from dangerous and misguided opinions.

Sorry, that’s not how human beings work. Much like free market capitalism, if someone (a “fake news” outlet, for example) consistently puts out a bad product, people will stop consuming that product. They will be ridiculed and shunned for following charlatans. The beauty is that it’s self-regulating, whereas trying to control choice has never worked, and using #pizzagate and “Russian hackers” as an excuse to silence alternate opinions is going to backfire, bigly.

Inform your decisions with facts and evidence, scrutinize anything that doesn’t sit well, and decide for yourself. Thanks to the internet you have virtually unfettered access to the raw data, even if you have to pay for it. You can actually read all the Wikileaks yourself, in context, and use the Mattlock lobe of your animal brain to come to your own conclusions. Whatever you do, don’t believe the vomitous hype from conglomerate news organizations with a vested interest in controlling what you think.

The photoshop experts at Reddit seem to think this “huge breach of international diplomacy” is overblown. I dunno, China seems pretty pissed.

Yesterday, President-elect Trump took a call from the democratically elected, gay-rights supporting, first female President of Taiwan – the first such contact since Jimmy Carter nullified the USA’s treaty governing relations with Taiwan, switching diplomatic recognition of the island to China in 1979 as part of the USA’s acceptance of the “One China” policy.

If you need a refresher; after changing hands several times over the last 400 years, China’s nationalist party (the Kuomintang, or “KMT”) reclaimed the strategically important trade hub from Japan after WWII. Of note, the KMT had ruled mainland China for 22 years (1928 – 1949), and only retreated to Taiwan after defeat at the hands of the Communist Party of China (CPC). To protect Taiwan, the United States stepped in and brokered the “Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty,” which came to an end in 1979 when Jimmy Carter nullified the treaty in exchange for China’s support of American operations in Afghanistan. Dick move Jimmy.

After Barry Goldwater went to the Supreme Court to oppose Carter’s nullification (which exposed Taiwan to Chinese aggression) Carter finally signed the Taiwan Relations Act in 1979, recognizing the substantial but “non-diplomatic” relations between the United States and Taiwan. We also agreed to Taiwan’s Six Assurances, putting China on notice that the United States would continue to do business with, sell weapons to, and protect Taiwan, and that we would honor the brand new Taiwan Relations Act. In short: China & Taiwan can try to peacefully work out their issues, but in the meantime the USA will continue to do business with and protect Taiwan from Chinese aggression. Since 1979, despite decades of arms sales and burgeoning trade with Taiwan, no US President has spoken with the un-recognized Taiwanese government – until now.

TRUMP BREAKS ALMOST 4 DECADES OF PROTOCOL!

The President of Taiwan CALLED ME today to wish me congratulations on winning the Presidency. Thank you!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 3, 2016

Which was met with stern rebuke by the MSM and the Washington establishment it shills for:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ever defiant Trump responded: 

Interesting how the U.S. sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment but I should not accept a congratulatory call.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 3, 2016

Paul Joseph Watson and a slightly uncucked Piers Morgan have defended Trump’s phone call:

The media is freaking out because Trump spoke to a democratically elected leader, and this might offend a dictatorship.

Let that sink in.

— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) December 3, 2016

So @realDonaldTrump has to clear his phone calls with China now?
Pur-lease. He'll speak to who he likes. #taiwan

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 3, 2016

And finally, Ted Cruz, who introduced legislation earlier this year in support of Taiwan’s independence (reaffirming the USA’s six-points, and re-recognizing the expired Taiwan Relations Act) has defended Trump’s phone call as “An improvement over Obama’s foreign policy.”

In response to this kerfuffle, China has lodged a formal complaint with the United States, stating that Trump’s phone call changed nothing about China’s stance on Taiwan’s independence.

My take: Trump is trolling China – letting them know that we’re no longer going to be the limp-wristed bitch of communist regimes.
