Trump Just Turned And Said One Thing To Harvey Relief Effort Organizers That Will Fill Every
American With Pride
Hurricane Harvey has been a horrible reminder of the power of nature to cause devastation,
but if there is a silver lining it has also served been a reminder of the power of Americans
to work together to help each other.
President Trump said exactly this when he invited representatives from the Red Cross,
Salvation Army, and Southern Baptist Disaster Relief organizations to thank them for their
tireless efforts to help those in need.
President Trump applauded the efforts and quick response of these three organizations
to install relief efforts to those in Houston and the surrounding area as well as the work
of Vice President Mike Pence to visit the people of Houston.
Here's what Trump had to say:
"THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE IN WHAT THEY'VE DONE.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THEM AND THEIR STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS FOR THE INCREDIBLE WORK THEY'RE
DOING AND IN HELPING PEOPLE AFFECTED BY HURRICANE HARVEY."
President Trump then asked First Lady Melania to speak and she again thanked the efforts
of volunteers and Americans helping each other through this horrible natural disaster.
Watch President Trump's full statement here:
Then the representatives from the relief groups followed up thanking the other groups for
their collaboration and combined efforts to help as many people in need.
The Salvation Army has already served hundreds of thousands of meals and plans to serve millions
to those in need.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND OUR PRESIDENT!
This is the power of America when we put aside our differences
to help
each other.

Top Rep Strategist Discovers Easy Way For Trump To Crush Pelosi In 2018 Midterms - Duration: 12:03.
Top Rep Strategist Discovers Easy Way For Trump To Crush Pelosi In 2018 Midterms
The Trump administration is now deciding which initiatives and campaigning should occur in
the battleground states to in the 2018 midterms.
They want to energize the voters to show up and make another resounding statement to Nancy
Pelosi and the Democrats.
According to Politico, the plan is similar to one used in 2004, when a slate of anti-gay
marriage amendments boosted GOP turnout in in 11 states, paving the way for the election
of President George W. Bush.

GOP strategist Karl Rove applauded the efforts after the 2004 election.
He believed that it was crucial to keep America safe for four years longer.
He was asked if he created the strategy and he denied it.
In the current effort, the White House is considering initiatives involving tax reform
and other economic issues to rally conservatives, Politico reported.
It will be focused on red states where vulnerable Democratic senators are up for reelection
next year, including Montana, North Dakota, and Missouri, according to Politico.
Leading the rampage against Nancy Pelosi and the losers on the left, Gerry Gunster has
given some sage advice after he was successful in making Brexit happen in Britain.

According to Politico, he has discussed his strategy with numerous Trump aides.
He did speak to Bill Stepien and VP Pence's chief of staff Nick Ayers.
The plans are forming and will be put into full effect soon.
The White House has not signed off on the idea yet, however, Politico reported.
"Probably it has some effect," Steve Linder, a GOP strategist in Michigan, told Politico
about the strategy.
"It never hurts to have Republicans push on issues that are core to the party and that
get people motivated."
Some Republicans are skeptical, however.
There are other ballot issues that the GOP can use to their advantage.
Pelosi and her obstructionists could be one of the easiest tools to use.
What do you think about this?

Trump prepares to discuss withdrawal from KORUS : WP - Duration: 1:24.
U.S media are reporting that President Donald Trump is preparing to announce America's withdrawal
from its free trade agreement with South Korea.
Nothing's official yet, but an announcement could come in a matter of days.
Kim Mok-yeon reports.
Citing several sources close to the process, the Washington Post reported Saturday that
U.S. President Donald Trump instructed advisers to prepare for Washington to withdraw from
the South Korea-U.S. free trade deal as early as next week.
If true, the move would deal a big blow to the relations between the allies, stoking
economic tension at a time of escalated threats from North Korea.
The Post said that many top White House officials such as national security adviser H.R. McMaster,
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and National Economic Council director Gary Cohn oppose
the plan, and are pushing Trump to abandon the idea.
However, a White House spokeswoman told the Post that discussions are ongoing, but there
is nothing to be announced at this time.
Since his inauguration, President Trump has been expressing discontent over the five-year-old
FTA, calling it a "horrible" deal that has resulted in a large trade deficit for America.
Though nothing is official yet, if Washington decides to send a statement of withdrawal
on the trade agreement, the pact could be terminated in 180 days without the approval
of Congress.

Stop risking war by threatening North Korea, Putin tells Trump - Duration: 3:06.
Stop risking war by threatening North Korea, Putin tells Trump
The Russian president said it was a mistake to pressure Pyongyang over its nuclear missile programme and he favoured negotiation instead. "It is essential to resolve the region's problems through direct dialogue involving all sides without advancing any preconditions," he wrote on the Kremlin website ahead of a visit to China.
"Provocations, pressure and bellicose and offensive rhetoric is the road to nowhere," he added. The situation had deteriorated so much it was now "balanced on the verge of a large-scale conflict", said the Russian leader. .
North Korea has been developing a nuclear missile capable of hitting America and recently threatened to target rockets at the US Pacific island of Guam.
On Monday, the rogue state, which sees joint US-South Korea military manoeuvres as preparation for invasion, fired a missile over Japan.
Putin said a plan by Moscow and Beijing, that would involve North Korea halting its missile programme in exchange for the US and South Korea ending large-scale war games, was a way to gradually reduce tensions.
The United Nations has imposed new sanctions on North Korea in response to two longrange missile launches in July. .
Putin's warning echoes his Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov who told US counterpart Rex Tillerson of "the need to refrain from military steps that may have unpredictable consequences".
Meanwhile, France's foreign minister said that North Korea would have the capability to send long-range ballistic missiles in a few months and urged China to be more active diplomatically.
Jean-Yves Le Drian said: "The situation is extremely serious. we see North Korea setting itself as an objective, to have tomorrow or the day after, missiles that can transport nuclear weapons.
In a few months that will be a reality. "At the moment when North Korea has the means to strike the United States, even Europe, but definitely Japan and China, then the situation will be explosive.".

Hassan Nasrallah : en Corée du Nord, Trump va vers une guerre nucléaire mondiale - Duration: 5:40.
We need to know, O my (dear) brothers and sisters, that the opposing project (US-Israel) in the region is crumbling and falling apart,
and that US and Israeli dreams that were built on Daesh and its sisters and fellow
takfiri and terrorist groups, these dreams and hopes collapse,
and that the Axis of Resistance is the one who inflicted a defeat on this project,
with the help of Russia, to be quite frank and honest.
And as with any victory, there is a price (to pay).
If you lose, the price (to pay) is clear.
But even when you win, there is a price to pay (but way less than when you lose).
It is natural that the victorious Lebanon will be subjected to pressures.
And the same for the Resistance, which certainly is suject and will be subject to (even more) pressures.
Today, a huge (propaganda) machine works (day and night) to present Hezbollah as a threat,
a destructive group, a problem (you), the Lebanese, the Lebanese people must try to resolve.
Tomorrow, they will create you a (new artificial) problem now that we are done with Daesh and Al Nosra.
Someone cynical might say: so that your turn does not come, you should let Daesh and Al-Daech Nosra (stay in Lebanon); why are you in a hurry (to finish them and become thus again the main target of USA)?
If one wants to think cynically.
But if we think about the national interest, people's safety, our loved ones', their happiness and their tranquility, we think differently.
So the Americans will return once again and say for the benefit of Israel: "O government, State, parties and people of Lebanon,
you have a (major) problem called Hezbollah. How are you going to you solve it?
Hezbollah's power increases (by the day), the accumulation (of weapons)... " It is you who are talking about the increase of our power.
"His power grows, he can do well and prepare, etc.
This is a (big) problem. We must solve it. "
But they want to resolve it in the interest of whom? In the interest of Israel. Certainly not in the interest of Lebanon.
Hezbollah does not represent a danger, neither for Lebanon nor the Lebanese people, nor the Lebanese State.
Certainly, Hezbollah is a danger to the Israeli occupation, Israel's appetites, and American hegemony and the takfiri project.
So we will be under pressure.
And we will be presented as the danger, when in truth it is indeed the United States that constitute the danger today.
It is this administration, the Trump administration that is the danger.
Who is it who is currently bringing the world to the brink of a global nuclear war with North Korea?
Today (the fate) of the world is suspended between two people, regardless of what one thinks of the one and the other: Trump and Kim-Jong-Un.
The fate of the world lies in the hands of these people.
God knows what they will do.
How will they act, where will they lead the world, God only knows.
This is the real danger.
Today, the Trump administration led the relations with Russia at the worst level, and relations with China at the worst level,
it is on the brink of war with China, as a result of tensions in the South China Sea.
The continuous threats of war against Venezuela, the relaunch of the war in Afghanistan,
threats to cancel the nuclear agreement with Iran, rekindling the inter-Arab disagreements...
Are there someone (gullible enough) to believe that the crisis between the Gulf States, Saudi Arabia, the UAE (and Bahrain also) on one hand, and Qatar on the other hand,
the United States are not able to resolve it? By God, they can set it in an hour, half an hour, a wink
from Trump or his entourage, and the crisis would be resolved.
No ! The United States wants these struggles, these wars, etc. They are the ones who represent the danger. This administration, this mentality that wants to reinstate the hegemony and monopolize the oil, money and gas, and to protect Israel,
(who is now) worried and scared. It is they who are a danger, not Hezbollah.
Today, the continuation of the war against Yemen, and the intensification of the assault, especially in recent weeks,
the horrible massacres committed by the Saudi aviation against unarmed Yemeni civilians,
and we can only condemn it. This war is an American war par excellence.
If the United States wanted this war to stop, it would stop in half an hour. This is not an issue for them.
Those who represent a threat to the region today are the United States.
Even Pakistan, a US historic ally, this administration has lobbied hard on them, insulted their army,
insulted their people and insulted their State, and that's why they demonstrated by the millions in the last few days to demonstrate against US policy,
American bullying and insults against Pakistan and the Pakistan Army.
Who is giving free rein to Israel in the region, if not the US?
And more dangerous, we may be faced with the formulation of a new American policy to impose a new model
after the end of Daesh, a new model of terrorism, under new titles, new names and new slogans.
We must face these pressures, whatever they are and wherever they come from.
How to cope as Lebanese? It is through perseverance, convergence and unity that we will overcome this stage.

Hollywood Legend Jeff Bridges Breaks His Silence On Celebrities Attacking Trump
Oscar award-winning actor, Jeff Bridges, has shown no interest in jumping in the chorus
of Hollywood liberals who are going after President Trump like rabid liberals.
The famous movie star, who is very famous from his roles in "The Big Lebowski" and
"True Grit," discussed with the Associated Press regarding the issue of Hollywood liberals
attacking the President.

"Everybody has something different and unique to contribute to society and with different
ways of doing it," Bridges said.
"Some people will be blatantly out there talking about their disappointments and ridiculing
the way President Trump is acting.
I'm rooting for him to do well by our country.
I'm rooting for him as a human being to do the cool thing."
Bridges also said that the health of the American children is the best marker to determine the
direction of our nation.
Jeff Bridges believes that we are off course and he is trying his best to cheer the president
on getting the nation back on course.
Bridges certainly isn't the first famous individual to elaborate on why he won't
go after President Trump.
In fact, one of the most famous actors in America, Matthew McConaughey opened up regarding
Trump after the November election.

"Well, they don't have a choice now.
He's our president.
And, it's very dynamic and as divisive of an Inauguration and time as we've had.
At the same time, it's time for us to embrace and shake hands with this fact.
And be constructive with him over the next four years.
Just because you strongly disagree with someone doesn't mean you have to viciously attack
at every turn.
Its not helpful just being adamantly opposed to everything with no legitimate reason.

had to say?

Breaking Top Republican Finally Makes Move To Protect Trump From Mueller's Witch Hunt
Republican Representative Ron DeSantis is putting forth an amendment to massively reduce
the abilities of Robert Mueller and his special counsel.
You know, the counsel that is still investigating the Russia ties that have already been disproven
multiple times under oath.
DeSantis has put forward a provision that would halt funding for Mueller's probe six
months after the amendment's passage.
It also would prohibit Mueller from investigating matters that occurred before June 2015, when
Trump launched his presidential campaign.
Advertisement
The amendment is one of numerous that were included in the government spending package.
The House will review the packages when they get back next week from their sweet vacations.
The provision is not promised a vote on the floor of the House.
He House Rules Committee has the ability to throw the amendment out if they feel it is
far out of the realm of the bill.
The Republican Representative's office hasn't given any public comments regarding his amendment.
Advertisement
Of course, the Democrats are loading up amendments to boost the Mueller investigation.
They are still so desperate to make anything stick to Trump, but he is like rubber, it
all just bounces off.
Representative Ann Kuster of New Hampshire is pushing an amendment to boost funding for
the investigation by 10 percent.
And Representative Nita Lowey of New York, ranking Democrat on the House Appropriations
Committee, proposed a measure to prohibit the Justice Department from obstructing Mueller's
work.
Of course the traitor Paul Ryan is a huge supporter of Mueller.
Ryan is another globalist that has entrenched himself in the GOP in an effort to align the
Republicans and Democrats to the same globalist goal.
What do you think about what DeSantis is doing to protect the President?
How many more times will the Democrats keep throwing the Russia
lie

Just In Liberal Anti-Trump Mega March Ends In Humiliation After 1 Day
The March to DC from Charlottesville, Virginia began with sheer power in numbers with almost
200 marchers (sarcasm intended).
They started on Monday, by Tuesday morning there were 35 marchers left.
It's comical.
This is a mega march!
"Over 200 people came together today to take a stand against bigotry and hate,"
March organizers said on Twitter.
"We're marching from #Cville2DC.
Join us: cville2dc.us."
The overnight rains stopped all by 35 marchers from continuing their march.
This was despite a weak pep talking and police who were escorting the group from Emancipation
Park downtown Sunday.
"We have started the day!" the group tweeted shortly after 10:00am.
"We have about 35 folks marching against white supremacy."
Despite the vicious falling in population, the group still called it a victory decrease
in numbers, the group still declared a victory, saying "not rain nor sleet nor snow nor
hail will stop us from marching from #Cville2DC.
The march was supposedly a direct response to the "Unite the Right" rally that was
put together by a former Obama confidant posting as a white supremacist.
This is where the Charlottesville violence occurred and a white supremacist drove into
a crowd.
It killed on person and injured 19 others.
"This is the time to confront white supremacy in our government and throughout our history,"
the group says on its website about the march.
"We demand that President Trump be removed from office for allying himself with this
ideology of hate and we demand an agenda that repairs the damage it's done to our country
and its people."
The group was planning to take the rout that uses US 29 until they get to I-66.
They will make there way to Washington where the march is supposed to end.
They 10-day march starts at 930 am every morning and is giving out vegan meals.
In addition, the marchers will be provided with housing, and a security detail will follow
the group, according to the group's website.

Laura Ingraham Offers Only Solution To Stop Anti Trump Rioters From Causing Violence - Duration: 12:03.
Laura Ingraham Offers Only Solution To Stop Anti-Trump Rioters From Causing Violence
Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham said on Tuesday that it is definitely the time
to dub ANTIFA as a "terrorist organization."
This is a response to the frequent violent riots that occur wherever ANTIFA goes.
"We should also urge everyone to consider pressing this idea of declaring Antifa a terrorist
organization," Ingraham said during an interview on "Fox and Friends."
"This group is trying actively to intimidate, suppress free speech and violently attack
people with whom they disagree."
Advertisement
Laura Ingraham said that she wants the Trump Administration to handle ANTIFA because of
the harm this would cause and the lives it would cost.
It's actually kind of scary how few people are willing to call these fascists what they
are.
"It's kind of an amalgam of a bunch of left wing anarchists and activists.
There is not one central organization.
They're all over the place.
But there is a way to pursue this and I hope this administration is looking at this very
carefully because people could die here," she said.
ANTIFA, BLM, and other left win organizations are constantly given a platform and a blind
eye is turned to them.
It's all because the media is brainwashing people into thinking that they're only being
violent because white people are racist and trying to kill everyone.
Advertisement
Ingraham also said that numerous important Democrats have refused to call out the radical
terrorist organization.
"Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, we are waiting for the condemnation.
Barack Obama, all these other people.
How about the Bushes?
Have the Bushes commented about Antifa?
I would like to hear them on that," she said.
"Imagine if the roles were reversed here and any type of conservative group that was
taking bats and pepper spray to peaceful liberal left wing protesters," Ingraham said.
"Imagine that story.
It wouldn't have been on page A3 of the Washington Post."
What do you think about this?

Experts say Trump Justice Department could reopen 'rigged' Clinton probe, but it wouldn't be easy - Duration: 15:44.
Experts say Trump Justice Department could reopen 'rigged' Clinton probe, but it wouldn't
be easy
After President Trump said Friday that Hillary Clinton was cleared of charges by a "rigged"
system, experts said it may be possible for the Justice Department to reopen the criminal
probe, although it is unlikely.
Launching a renewed investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary
of state would not run afoul of the Constitution's double jeopardy clause, which bans prosecution
twice for the same crime, experts say.
"The double jeopardy clause ban only applies to prosecutions, not investigations.
So there is no constitutional bar to reopening the investigation," said Susan Herman, a professor
at Brooklyn Law School and president of the American Civil Liberties Union.
"Jeopardy doesn't attach until a jury is sworn in a jury trial, or until the first witness
is sworn in a judge trial," said Lissa Griffin, a Pace University law professor who has written
about the constitutional protection.
Lack of double-jeopardy complications doesn't mean, however, that the investigation into
the former Democratic presidential candidate's handling of classified information could be
reopened with ease.
"The Department of Justice should be independent and free from political interference, including
pressure from the president," said Jimmy Gurule, a law professor at Notre Dame University and
a former assistant attorney general.
"Reopening a criminal investigation should be based on newly discovered evidence, not
a political whim," said Gurule, who worked in past Republican administrations.
Trump's latest comments on the Clinton case come after Republicans on the Senate Judiciary
Committee said former FBI Director James Comey began writing a statement absolving Clinton
of criminal charges before the FBI conducted key interviews with her aides.
"Wow, looks like James Comey exonerated Hillary Clinton long before the investigation was
over...and so much more.
A rigged system!" the president tweeted.
Although Trump said from a presidential debate stage he would appoint a special prosecutor
to review Clinton's conduct, the idea was quietly dropped after the election.
Gurule said Trump can't appoint a special prosecutor anyhow, though the attorney general
could.
Gurule said it's conceivable Trump would commit obstruction of justice charge if he ordered
an investigation reopened to damage a political opponent, especially if the matter already
was reviewed by a grand jury and closed, as was the Clinton case.
"Due process prevents a prosecutor from bringing charges for political or personal reasons,
but we aren't there yet," Griffin said of a theoretical renewed Clinton probe.
Griffin said it's conceivable Clinton would seek an injunction if an investigation was
launched, claiming an abuse of process, and probably would claim improper motivation in
a motion to dismiss if there were an indictment.
Trump fired Comey in May, with one justification his usurpation of Attorney General Loretta
Lynch's power in deciding whether Clinton should face charges.
Lynch had met with former President Bill Clinton privately during the investigation, creating
the appearance of a conflict of interest.
Comey recommended against prosecuting Clinton, saying she was "extremely careless" with classified
information but that there wasn't strong evidence of criminal intent.
The likelihood the Justice Department will reopen the Clinton case appears slim.
A spokesman declined to comment on the possibility, saying, "The Department of Justice does not
generally confirm, deny, or otherwise comment on the existence of an investigation."
Even Clinton foes doubt a new criminal investigation would happen.
"It's unlikely it will be reopened for political reasons: namely, that Attorney General Sessions
is on the defensive," said Larry Klayman, a conservative legal activist and longtime
Clinton nemesis who served in the Reagan Justice Department.
"He's under investigation by Mueller and he's basically buried his head on any controversial
issue," Klayman said, referring to former FBI Director Robert Mueller's work as special
prosecutor looking into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Sessions was subject to intense midsummer criticism by Trump, including a July tweet
that "Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes
(where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!"
No action against Clinton appears to have followed that criticism.
Klayman believes Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein would have to pull the trigger
on a renewed probe and that he's unlikely to do so.
"In my years of fighting Bill and Hillary Clinton, the establishment leaves them alone,"
Klayman said.
"This is a lot of smoke in terms of what the Judiciary Committee is doing.
It gets them on Fox News, but when it comes
to action, it's
very unlikely."

Trump Discovers Easy Way To Stop Welfare Leeches From Buying Booze With Food Stamps - Duration: 12:18.
Trump Discovers Easy Way To Stop Welfare Leeches From Buying Booze With Food Stamps
It's a well know fact that welfare fraud is a scary and serious problem.
But Trump's solution isn't something any president before has tried.
Keep in mind, the solutions for solving welfare fraud are pretty much limited to finding and
removing the fraudsters.
Reforming the system on a larger scale is very difficult.
So difficult, in fact, that no politician has solved it yet.
Advertisement
Trump just offered a great solution, charge retailers for accepting EBT.
It's not an expected solution.
But it really works.
MSN reports:
The White House wants to charge retailers that accept food stamps.
The Office of Management and Budget said the fee would be paid when stores sign up and
would require renewal after five years.
Advertisement
That amounts to $2.4 billion in 10 years.
This is such an intelligent solution
Stores that accept food stamps make a ton of money from the Ameican taxpayer.
Shouldn't we get paid back from some portion of that?
But the big deal is this will help end the worst food stamp abuses – like when they
trade a portion of their welfare for cash to buy drugs and booze.
Is there a better way to make sure that every transaction is legitimate than by charging
stores for food stamp purchases?
It's very smart, businesslike, and common sense.
Wait though, here come the protests, watch.
The Food Marketing Institute said, that they the "flawed policy of imposing fees on food
retailers in order to reduce the cost of the federal government's nutrition assistance
benefits to the most needy in our society."
This is so awesome and makes me smile.
A lobbying group puts forth a vague and pathetic statement that whines, in a nutshell, "I
DON'T LIKE WHAT TRUMP IS DOING!!!"
Without, of course, explaining exactly what is wrong with Trump's proposals.
No one can actually find something wrong with this so they complain that it's mean.
All they can do is make boring statements about how scary it is.
That's the last gasps of a dying group
of DC Politicians, folks.
