Most of us know that George Soros meddles in the affairs of the US, funding all sorts of anti-American groups like Antifa, Black Lives Matter, you name it. It’s not just us. He’s been a leader in destroying Europe too. The resistance of the eastern European countries has made lots of a news. A recent report reveals the pervasiveness of the Soros meddling in Europe.

The two sources that originated the allegations claiming that Russia meddled in the 2016 election without providing convincing evidence — were both paid for by the Democratic National Committee, and in one instance also by the Clinton campaign: the Steele dossier and the CrowdStrike analysis of the DNC servers. Think about that for a minute. We have long known that the DNC did not allow the FBI to examine its computer server for clues about who may have hacked it – or even if it was hacked – and instead turned to CrowdStrike, a private company co-founded by a virulently anti-Putin Russian. Within a day, CrowdStrike blamed Russia on dubious evidence.

The never ending war in Afghanistan continues on. Much is made of the economic cost of the war, which is incredibly high. Not so much is made of the real cost of the war, namely the damage done to our most valuable assets, our people. It goes beyond the death and injury to our military members. The heroin addictions in the US are equally troubling.

The “hate words” from the left change regularly. Islamophobe, homophobe, racist, nazi, you name it. They seem to change regularly because none of them stick to those they wish to denigrate. The latest is white nationalism. Some of the reasons why the names have to change is because they get so overused that they become parodies of what they are trying to accomplish. Although Nazi sounded like a bad thing in the beginning, when everything and everyone you disagreed with became a Nazi, it became meaningless. Sort of like racist. The vast majority of people aren’t racist. The left even went so far in defending the racist mantra that they came up with a new philosophy that said that the very fact that you don’t recognize that you are a racist makes you a racist. Sometimes, you have to agree that some things are always bad. When the left can claim that communism isn’t bad and merely a function of white nationalism, we’re in trouble.

You’ll probably never see me support the actions of Senator Diane Feinstein again, but on this issue she is right. We’ve been reporting on the actions of our government to do something about section 702 of the FISA act for some time now. I really wonder how many people have actually taken the time to contact their representatives. Take a look at her efforts to end the backdoor warrants and ask your folks why they won’t support her on this.

I’m certainly not one of those folks that believes that “there ought to be a law” is the answer to all of the problems in the world. Certainly we have too many laws. With that said, technological advances seem to have taken the legal system by surprise. It’s been decades since our “electronic” revolution has emerged. Yet, laws and the legal system have not kept up. I don’t agree with all of the author’s recommendations, but certainly our lawmakers need to address these abuses. It tells you a lot about our political class that they have ignored an issue that affects almost all Americans.

In light of the Texas shootings, we’ve now learned that the shooter should have been unable to legally purchase the rifle that he used to kill innocent people. We’ve all seen the Secretary of the Air Force having to explain how they screwed up. We’ll NEVER fix any problems in America as long as we attack the agencies in charge of the screw up. Someone failed at their job. Some department head didn’t insure that the person responsible for the action didn’t do it. We need to hold people responsible, not agencies. I want to know who (exactly who, by name) was responsible. Who (by name) was the supervisor who was in charge of the person. I want them identified by name, punished, or fired and possibly charged with a criminal act. No more letting evil hide behind a large unaccountable government agency

The “war” in Syria has roots in our invasion of Iraq. We created millions of refugees who went to Syria. As happens all over the world where lots of refugees settle in a foreign country, it did not go well for Syria. Their attempts to crack down on problems led to the civil unrest. Saudi Arabia saw this as an opportunity to overthrow Assad, and supported forces with money and aid to start a civil war in Syria. The US at the behest of the Saudis (and eventually Israel) created ISIS and supported the efforts to topple Assad. Of course it didn’t work out the way we planned. Russia came to Syria in support of a long term ally and Assad remains in power. President Trump directed the CIA to stop supporting the Syrian rebels. It appears that our CIA and military are willingly ignoring the Commander in Chief and still supporting the rebels.

Sources across the Middle East are reeling with the resignation of Lebanon’s Prime Minister Hariri. Harari’s resignation, ordered by Saudi Arabia and, by our estimation Israel as well, signals a new phase of wars as the “ISIS experiment” draws to a close. Hariri claimed Iran and Hezbollah were planning to assassinate him. From the UK Guardian: “We are living in a climate similar to the atmosphere that prevailed before the assassination of [his father, the late prime minister] martyr Rafik Hariri. I have sensed what is being plotted covertly to target my life,” he said in a televised speech on Saturday. Hariri said Iran was “losing in its interference in the affairs of the Arab world”, and that Lebanon would “rise as it had done in the past” and “cut off the hands that wickedly extend into it”.
