Sec. of State Pompeo’s speech from Jerusalem demonstrates the U.S. and President Trump’s unbreakable commitment to Israel:
http://dailytorch.com/2020/08/sec-of-state-pompeos-speech-from-jerusalem-demonstrates-the-u-s-and-president-trumps-unbreakable-commitment-to-israel/

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s speech from Jerusalem for the Republican National Convention sent a strong signal to the American people and the world about the U.S. and President Donald Trump’s strong commitment to U.S. ally, Israel. While the speech caught the attention of many observers because of its downstream political implications, including the potential future of Secretary Pompeo, what is more telling is it served as visual proof, a symbol that President Trump has done what his predecessors had only promised to. He moved the U.S. embassy to Israel’s capital in Jerusalem, and declared unequivocally that U.S. policy is to keep the capital there. In fact, President Trump is the first president in U.S. history to fully recognize Israel’s right to say where its capital is. In 1995, Congress passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act which described Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and said it should not be divided, requiring the U.S. embassy to be moved to Jerusalem by 1999. President Bill Clinton never signed the law. Instead, presidents since then all signed waivers to postpone recognition of Jerusalem as the capital, as U.S. policy was that the status of Jerusalem would be settled via negotiations. Now, with President Trump’s action to finally move the embassy, there’s nothing left to negotiate. President Trump has settled long-held point of confrontation between Israel and her neighbors, and creates a path forward in the region. What do you think?

ALG President Rick Manning explains his decision to do a cable TV ad campaign against the president’s proposal to tie Medicare prescription drug prices to a those dictated by foreign socialist governments. Hear why he says it is a step toward socialized medicine.

Price controls for Medicare prescription drugs will just pass along costs of drug innovation to non-Medicare patients, could lead to socialized medicine:

President Donald Trump is currently considering an executive order that will direct the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to implement a proposed 2018 rule instituting an International Pricing Index for Medicare Part B prescription drugs. The intent is to reduce drug costs for seniors. However, it will come at a significant cost to non-Medicare patients, who will be compelled to shoulder the costs of drug innovation. How do we know that? Because the U.S. is already bearing the costs of drug innovation for the rest of the world, which uses similar price controls, in turn passing along the costs to the American people, who pay far more than the rest of the world. Politically, this could also create an opening for Democrats to exploit the disparity by calling for more price controls or even for socialized medicine. House Democrats have proposed Medicare for All, while Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and former Vice President Joe Biden are similarly offering Biden’s public option. Either way, Democrats can bill socialized medicine as a means of reducing out-of-pocket prescription costs that non-Medicare patients will be burdened with under the CMS rule. Ultimately, the question that remains is who pays for the price of drug innovation?

Joe Biden goes all in on defund the police with Kamala Harris VP pick:
http://dailytorch.com/2020/08/joe-biden-goes-all-in-on-defund-the-police-with-kamala-harris-vp-pick/

Former Vice President Joe Biden has selected U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as his running mate and presumptive Democratic Party nominee for Vice President in the 2020 election as the Biden campaign goes all in on the defund the police issue. In June Sen. Harris supported cutting $150 million from the Los Angeles Police Department budget and taking the police force below 10,000 for the first time in more than a decade. “I applaud Eric Garcetti for doing what he’s done,” Harris told ABC’s Good Morning America host George Stephanopoulos in June, adding, “Right now, what we’re seeing in America is many cities spend over one-third of their entire city budget on policing but meanwhile we’ve been defunding public schools for years in America.” The pick of Harris comes as Biden for his part has attempted to thread the needle on the issue, telling CBS News in an interview: “No, I don’t support defunding the police. I support conditioning federal aid to police based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency and honorableness and … are able to demonstrate they can protect the community.” Meaning, if police departments did not meet up with Biden’s criteria, he would indeed deny funds. In June, an ABC News/Ipsos poll found 64 percent of Americans reject the idea of defunding the police, including 91 percent of Republicans, 45 percent of Democrats, 43 percent of blacks, 58 percent of Hispanics and 74 percent of whites. In short, Harris is a sop to the BLM-Antifa wing of the party, a signal by Biden to the rioters that says “I’m with you”, but at the cost of moderate Democrats in suburban areas who oppose defunding the police. What do you think?

The Democratic candidate for president has a history of slips, blunders and gaffes that go on and on and on. His often slurred speech is used to say things about race, sex or — well — we don’t know because he screwed up the wording too bad. Watch this sleepy, hair-sniffing politician in his greatest hits!

President Trump urges Portland, Oreg. to ‘bring in the National Guard. The Mayor and Governor are putting people’s lives at risk’:
http://dailytorch.com/2020/08/president-trump-urges-portland-oreg-to-bring-in-the-national-guard-the-mayor-and-governor-are-putting-peoples-lives-at-risk/

President Donald Trump on Twitter on Aug. 10, urged Oregon Democratic Governor Kate Brown to deploy the National Guard after a riot was declared in Portland, Oreg. when the Portland Police Association (PPA) building was set on fire. “Portland, which is out of control, should finally, after almost 3 months, bring in the National Guard. The Mayor and Governor are putting people’s lives at risk. They will be held responsible. The Guard is ready to act immediately. The Courthouse is secured by Homeland!” Trump wrote. But Oregon Democratic Governor Kate Brown may simply lack the political will to do what is necessary to preserve law and order for fear it might help President Trump politically. That’s just too bad. Governor Brown and Mayor Wheeler must realize that if they refuse to restore civil order, President Trump is more than willing to step in and do it for them. What do you think?

COVID-19 crushed the American economy just months ago. Jobs upon jobs upon jobs were lost. Now, under the Trump Administration, close to two million of those jobs are back in July!

Yates says Comey had the FBI ambush Michael Flynn in the White House ‘unilaterally,’ was unaware Steele sub-source folded on Trump-Russia allegations in Jan. 2017:
http://dailytorch.com/2020/08/yates-says-comey-had-the-fbi-ambush-michael-flynn-in-the-white-house-unilaterally-was-unaware-steele-sub-source-folded-on-trump-russia-allegations-in-jan-2017/

“I didn’t authorize that interview because I wasn’t told about it in advance… I was upset that Director Comey didn’t coordinate that with us and acted unilaterally.” That was former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, telling Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham in Aug. 5 testimony that former FBI Director James Comey did not clear with the Justice Department his plan to send FBI agents to interrogate then-National Security Advisor Michael Flynn in the White House on Jan. 24, 2017 shortly after President Donald Trump was sworn into office. Comey kept the then-Acting Attorney General Yates in the dark about something that by all accounts was a serious breach of protocol — an attempt to entrap the President’s top foreign policy advisor to take out the President. The agents questioned Flynn on what turns out were routine discussions with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak during the presidential transition. Yates was apparently also in the dark about the FBI’s separate Jan. 24, 2017 interview of the primary source used by former British spy Christopher Steele in drafting the dossier falsely alleging President Donald Trump was a Russian agent and that the Trump campaign knowingly assisted Russia in hacking the Democratic National Committee and putting its emails on Wikileaks. The source ended up contradicting Steele’s allegations in the Jan. 2017 interview, leaving the FBI with no real witnesses of Trump’s supposed treason. If Yates didn’t know, then the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which is supposed to assist the President in his duties to combat enemies of the U.S. foreign and domestic with the gathering of intelligence, should be abolished immediately. Nobody responsible for overseeing the surveillance of U.S. citizens or even the President verifies the most important allegations. Not the Justice Department. Not the FBI. And not the FISA court. Do you think FISA should be abolished?
