Yates, Comey & FISA court say they didn’t know Steele sub-source folded on allegations in Jan. 2017

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?

Trump is right. Why are we outsourcing national security w/ production of the F-35 stealth fighter?

President Trump is right. Why is the U.S. still building important parts of the F-35 outside the U.S.?
http://dailytorch.com/2020/08/president-trump-is-right-why-is-the-u-s-still-building-important-parts-of-the-f-35-outside-the-u-s/

The fifth-generation F-35 stealth fighter plane by Lockheed Martin has been in development since the 1990s, one of the most expensive military systems ever at a cost of about $80 million per plane, after all these years is still dependent on global supply chains including certain Chinese-made components and rare earth minerals. In May, President Donald Trump declared, “It’s a great jet, and we make parts for this jet all over the world. We make them in Turkey, we make them here, we’re going to make them there. All because President [Barack] Obama and others — I’m not just blaming him — thought it was a wonderful thing. The problem is if we have a problem with a country, you can’t make the jet. We get parts from all over the place. It’s so crazy. We should make everything in the United States.” He’s right. Why are we outsourcing our national security?

Jon Voight on Roger Ailes documentary: ‘Important for me to show him as the wonderful man he was.’

A new movie, narrated by Jon Voight, portrays former Fox News head Roger Ailes in a positive light. That is in contrast to three previous films that made him look like a villain. Former Fox News Channel Producer Frank McCaffrey talks about his relationship with Roger Ailes and why this new movie, “Man in the Arena,” is a must-see.

Why are U.S. pensioners and investors purchasing Chinese state-owned companies that use slave labor?

Why are American pensions and mutual funds investing $251 billion in Chinese equities and bonds built on child and slave labor?
http://dailytorch.com/2020/08/why-are-american-pensions-and-mutual-funds-investing-251-billion-in-chinese-equities-and-bonds-built-on-child-and-slave-labor/

U.S. mutual funds and pension funds, including private, state and local government pensions, have invested about $251 billion in Chinese equities and bonds including Hong Kong, according to an Americans for Limited Government estimate of U.S. Treasury data. That is out of a total of $381 billion that U.S. residents have invested in China and Hong Kong as of April 2020, according to the U.S. Treasury. Here’s the problem. A good chunk of the investment that includes manufacturing in China that is built on child and slave labor, according to the annual report on child and forced labor by the Department of Labor Bureau of International Labor Affairs, including any investment in companies producing textiles made by child labor, artificial flowers, Christmas decorations, coal, footwear and garments and nails made by forced labor, and bricks, cotton, electronics, fireworks and toys made by child and forced labor. Meaning, because millions of U.S. investors and pensioners own tens of billions of dollars of shares of these companies who are abusing their labor forces, we are effectively slave owners — despite having abolished slavery 155 years ago in 1865 at the end of the Civil War. What do you think?

Trump ends the Obama-Biden HUD rule that required communities to rezone by income & race guidelines

Trump, Carson restore local control over zoning, end Obama-Biden war on suburbs—for now:
http://dailytorch.com/2020/07/trump-carson-restore-local-control-over-zoning-end-obama-biden-war-on-suburbs-for-now/

President Donald Trump and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson have finally ended the Obama-Biden era regulation Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing from 2015 that conditioned receipt of $3 billion of annual community development block grants on rezoning neighborhoods along racial and income guidelines. Now, under the new rule, called Preserving Community and Neighborhood Choice, finalized on July 23, local control of zoning has been restored. It states, “It must be local governments, not HUD, that exercise control of administering local housing policies, including zoning and development policies that are unique to a particular community.” This is a victory for federalism, and restores local control over zoning — the way it should be. So for now the battle is won, but longer term, the war to abolish the suburbs will not end, especially if former Vice President Joe Biden gets elected. If he wins, he’ll bring the regulation right back. From Biden’s campaign website, “Biden will implement the Obama-Biden Administration’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule requiring communities receiving certain federal funding to proactively examine housing patterns and identify and address policies that have a discriminatory effect.” The question the American people have to ask this year is if they want local responsibility to govern their own communities — or want to abolish local government in favor of faceless bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. to run your local town or city council’s most important decisions. How do you think they will choose?

Trump order says if tourists aren’t in the Census then neither should illegal aliens be included

President Trump’s case for excluding illegal aliens from the Census is stronger than you think:
http://dailytorch.com/2020/07/president-trumps-case-for-excluding-illegal-aliens-from-the-census-is-stronger-than-you-think/

President Donald Trump has issued an executive memorandum to Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross to discount illegal aliens who are subject to legal removal from the U.S. Census. Here, the President is invoking the Fourteenth Amendment, Section 2 of the Constitution, which states, “Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed.” From the President’s memorandum: “The Constitution does not specifically define which persons must be included in the apportionment base. Although the Constitution requires the ‘persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed,’ to be enumerated in the census, that requirement has never been understood to include in the apportionment base every individual physically present within a State’s boundaries at the time of the census. Instead, the term ‘persons in each State’ has been interpreted to mean that only the ‘inhabitants’ of each State should be included.” So, who are the inhabitants of each state? The President’s memorandum says “aliens who are only temporarily in the United States, such as for business or tourism, and certain foreign diplomatic personnel are ‘persons’ who have been excluded from the apportionment base in past censuses.” Which, raises the question, if tourists — whose travel visas have certain expiration dates — can and have been excluded from the Census, then why not illegal immigrants who are subject to removal upon discovery by federal authorities?

The FBI knew there were no Trump contacts w/ Russian intel in Jan. 2017 but kept investigation going

The Steele dossier paid for by Clinton, DNC was not Russian disinformation, it was British disinformation—from Steele:
dailytorch.com/2020/07/the-steele-dossier-paid-for-by-clinton-dnc-was-not-russian-disinformation-it-was-british-disinformation-from-steele/

The intelligence in the dossier by former British spy Christopher Steele, paid for by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign, was not from a well-placed source in the Russian government, but a paid-for employee of Steele’s firm, Orbis, who disputed the findings of the dossier when they were published on Jan. 10, 2017 by Buzzfeed. This, from the bombshell now declassified Jan. 24, 2017 interview by the FBI of the sub-source that was only undertaken two weeks after the false allegations against President Donald Trump and his campaign — that they were Russian agents who had helped Moscow hack the DNC and put its emails onto Wikileaks — became public. In it, the sub-source told the FBI that the allegations were “rumor and speculation,” that his contacts were “too far removed” from the matter to know anything substantial and that he “did not recall any discussion or mention of Wikileaks” with his contacts, contradicting Steele’s allegations of a “well-developed conspiracy” between Trump and Russia. And “he was nervous about the Russians finding out about” his efforts to corroborate Steele’s reporting, meaning they didn’t know about it. The Steele dossier was not Russian disinformation, it was British disinformation — from Steele. What do you think?

Whatever the hell Joe Biden is on! Should he really pick Supreme Court justices?

Joe Biden could well be picking more than one or two Supreme Court justices if he is elected. There are, in fact, four seats that could change. ALG President Rick Manning looks at what that would mean for our laws and rights.

Cancel culture is fueling Trump’s silent majority in 2020, you just watch

Has cancel culture created a silent majority for Trump? You better believe it.
http://dailytorch.com/2020/06/has-cancel-culture-created-a-silent-majority-for-trump-you-better-believe-it/

In 2016, President Donald Trump consistently underperformed in presidential election polls versus actual voting results leading up to his historic victory against Hillary Clinton. In Florida, polls underreported Trump support by 2 percentage points, in North Carolina by 3.3 percentage points, in Ohio by 5.5 percentage points, in Pennsylvania by 3.5 percentage points and Michigan by 4.1 percentage points. Specifically, Trump garnered 49 percent of the vote in Florida, 49.8 percent of the vote in North Carolina, 51.7 percent of the vote in Ohio, 48.2 percent of the vote in Pennsylvania and 47.5 percent of the vote in Michigan. How could this be? In 2016, there was a lot of social pressure among families, friends and even professionally. If you were a Trump supporter, you could expect personal ostracization from peers and employers. You might be called a bigot. A racist. A fascist. A Nazi. You name it. And so, 2016 was a notoriously hard year to poll politically, given the fear of repercussions among Trump supporters. In 2020, the climate of social fear is arguably even worse. It’s cancel culture run amuck. What do you think?
