Trump: I Can’t Be Impeached

President Donald Trump on Monday tweeted he can't be impeached, denying claims he obstructed justice concerning special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

"Only high crimes and misdemeanors can lead to impeachment," Trump tweeted. "There were no crimes by me (No Collusion, No Obstruction), so you can't impeach. It was the Democrats that committed the crimes, not your Republican President! Tables are finally turning on the Witch Hunt!"

Several Democrats have called for impeachment following the release of Mueller's report, which details at least 10 times Trump might have obstructed justice, though the special counsel did not conclude the president committed a crime.

Mueller wrote "the president's efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful, but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the president declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is scheduled to host a conference call Monday with House Democrats to formulate a strategy following the report's release.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., told NBC News on Sunday  he has not ruled out impeachment, but said Congress will "have to hear from" Mueller and Attorney General William Barr before they can proceed, if they choose to impeach.

"Some of this would be impeachable," Nadler said, referring to the allegations in the report. "Obstruction of justice, if proven, would be impeachable."

Hungary Cozies to China

The Belt and Road Initiative is fully in harmony with Hungarian interests, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Thursday in Beijing, at talks with Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang.

Ahead of the talks, Orban said it was a great “honor” to be invited to the second forum of the economic initiative, to be held on Friday and Saturday in Beijing.

Belt and Road is a “serious safeguard of worldwide free trade and the freedom of world economy”, Orban said. As “Hungarians need an open world economy,” Hungary is ready to cooperate further within the initiative, and will reject “all outside ideological pressure” to the contrary because the Hungarian government will “always act according to national interests”, Orban said.

Chinese companies have greatly contributed to modernizing the Hungarian economy, Orban said. Chinese investments have now reached some 4.5 billion dollars in Hungary, he noted, and proposed that the inflow of capital investments be upheld in the future.


Steven Mosher joins Alex Jones to expose the tactics of communist China to infiltrate our technology infrastructure and deceive the masses in the west.

In his greeting to the Hungarian delegation, Li Keqiang praised Sino-Hungarian cooperation and expressed hope that it should be extended further in sectors such as digitization. Cooperation between the countries has already brought results and offers great opportunities for large companies as well as SMEs of both countries, he said. Free trade and economic development will strengthen world peace, too, Li said.

After the talks, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto and Innovation and Technology Minister Laszlo Palkovics signed bilateral agreements with Chinese officials. Among them were agreements to set up a Hungarian-Chinese cooperation center, cooperation in sports, creating a “digital Silk Road”, setting up a working group to facilitate bilateral trade and the export of Hungarian poultry to China.

Orban met Chinese President Xi Jinping later on Thursday, the prime minister’s press chief told MTI. They marked the 70th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Hungary and China, the successes in economic cooperation and European affairs.

On Friday and Saturday, Orban will attend the Belt and Road forum, where 37 heads of state and world leaders are expected.


Alex Jones breaks down the true origins of ‘Earth Day’ and lays out how the Globalists are planning on fueling phony outrage about environmental conservation to usher in their technocratic control system over every nation of the world.

Air Force’s F-35A deploys to Middle East for first time

The U.S. Air Force's F-35A variant has officially deployed to the Middle East.

Air Forces Central Command announced Monday that F-35 fifth-generation fighters from the 388th and 419th Fighter Wings at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, have deployed to Al Dhafra Air Base, United Arab Emirates to keep watch in the region.

It's the first time Air Force F-35s have deployed to the Middle East.

"We are adding a cutting-edge weapons system to our arsenal that significantly enhances the capability of the coalition," Lt. Gen. Joseph T. Guastella, commander of AFCENT, said in the release. "The sensor fusion and survivability this aircraft provides to the joint force will enhance security and stability across the theater and deter aggressors."

"The F-35A provides our nation air dominance in any threat," added Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein. "When it comes to having a 'quarterback' for the coalition joint force, the interoperable F-35A is clearly the aircraft for the leadership role."

OPINION: The College Admissions Process Has Always Been Ripe For Abuse

YuKong Zhao | President, Asian American Coalition for Education

Just a few months after the Harvard anti-Asian discrimination trial opened in court, the college cheating scandal brought our nation’s college-admissions system into spotlight again. With conspirators across six states and a slew of top-tier schools, the case exposes layers of structural injustices inherent in the current college-entrance process. Flexible test schedules were handed out to able students masked with learning disabilities; test administrators shamelessly inflated SAT/ACT scores for clients’ children; college athletic coaches took millions of dollars and recruited ineligible applicants; and conspirators falsified the students’ ethnic identities to exploit race-based affirmative action.

In a nation where personal integrity goes hand-in-hand with institutional checks and balances, this repugnant scam challenges our collective virtues.

As a first-generation immigrant who was only able to escape extreme poverty through meritocratic education, I am disturbed by the self-seeking and detrimental actions of the rich and powerful who bought their children’s way into good schools. The flip side of their gaming the system and taking short cuts for their children is other children from ordinary families being robbed of much-needed, fair opportunities. This is clearly a slap in the face to the American dream, which promises that each American citizen should have an equal opportunity to achieve prosperity and success through hardworking, determination and initiative.

As a community leader at the forefront of Asian-American communities’ fight against racial discrimination in college admissions, I want to point out that Asian-American children from working-class families suffer the most from this broken college-admissions system. Like many others who are disadvantaged, they can neither afford test-prep lessons, nor participate in costly extracurricular activities. They are also taken advantaged by the rich and powerful as this scandal revealed. On top of that, they are further discriminated against due to unlawful racial stereotypes, covert quotas, and higher standards, all of which are prevalent in many competitive colleges in their consideration of applicants.

In his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, “The Price of Admissions: How America’s Ruling Class Buys Its Way Into Elite Colleges — and Who Gets Left Outside the Gates,” Danial Golden precisely identifies many social groups with a “hook” (advantage) in getting into America’s elite colleges: alumni and the super-rich can use claim the legacy status, sports talents become athletic recruits, and black and Hispanic students can ride the train of race-based affirmative action. The only ones left out by this system of special recruits are working-class Asian Americans, who are shackled by both economic and racial inequalities.

In particular, the racial quotas and higher admissions standards imposed by Harvard and many other selective colleges have created overwhelming study burdens, stress and depression among Asian-American children, which resulted in suicide in some of the worst cases. Over the last seven years, 10 students from Henry Gunn High School in Palo Alto, California ended their own lives.

The college admissions scandal and the Harvard trial prove: America’s college admissions-system is unfair to working-class American families, especially those from Asian-American communities. To make it fair, I propose the following three principles.

First, the system should be primarily merit-based. This is supported by an overwhelming majority of Americans. According to a 2016 Gallup Survey, most Americans (70 percent) believe colleges should admit applicants based solely on merit, rather than take into account applicants’ race and ethnicity (26 percent). This favorable public opinion is further validated by a 2018 Pew Research Center survey which finds that most Americans (73 percent) say colleges and universities should not consider race or ethnicity when making decisions about student admissions. In the same survey, a majority also reject the use of legacy, athletic, gender and other non-educational criteria.

Second, to effectively help socioeconomically disadvantaged children, we should transition affirmative action policies in college admission from being race-based to being socioeconomic-based. Given that the meritocratic principle applies in most cases, schools should leave a reasonable percentage of admissions slots for certain eligible students from poorer neighborhoods. After decades of implementation, the race-based approach has fallen short of improving educational opportunities and quality of poor black and Hispanic communities.

Despite affirmative action, statistics indicate blacks and Hispanics are more underrepresented at top universities than they were 35 years ago. Worse, American elite colleges abuse affirmative action to recruit minority students from new immigrant or well-off families for window-dressing, keeping most poor minority students growing up in inner cities or underserved rural areas outside their doors. In October 2017, a group of black students from Cornell protested the fact that the school admits too many African and Caribbean black students — but not enough African Americans. The social-economic-based affirmative action is the better way to go.

Third, the system needs to be transparent and objective. The process today is largely opaque, convoluted by too many subjective criteria. The college admission scandal clearly evidences how these non-comparable standards such as athletic experience can be easily abused. Authoritative surveys, summarized above, confirm that most Americans support the use of objective criteria such as GPA, standard tests and volunteer hours. To eliminate the loopholes exposed by this scandal, the transparency of the admissions system need to be improved across our nation’s colleges. Corruption cannot survive in a transparent and fair process.

When our society is increasingly divided across racial, ethnic and economic lines, only an admission system based on meritocracy, transparency and compassion for the truly disadvantaged can rebuild the trust of American people and help restore the American dream.

YuKong Zhao is president of the Asian American Coalition for Education, which leads Asian-Americans’ fight against Ivy League colleges’ discriminatory admissions practices.

March 27, 2019

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic had surgery Tuesday to repair compound fractures in his left leg, the team announced.

Nurkic will miss the rest of this season, and there is no timetable for his recovery process.

The 7-footer fractured his left tibia and fibula at the 2:22 mark of the second overtime of a game Monday night against the Brooklyn Nets when his left foot came down on the shoe of Nets forward Jared Dudley, forcing his leg to bend awkwardly.

Nurkic tallied 32 points and 16 rebounds against Brooklyn and finished the season averaging a career-high 15.6 points, 10.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 72 games, all starts.

–New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday had surgery to repair a core muscle injury and will miss the rest of the season, the team announced.

Holiday has not played since March 6, missing the last eight games with what the team called a lower abdominal strain. The surgery was performed in Philadelphia, and Holiday will not resume basketball activities for at least six weeks.

Holiday, 28, averaged a career-high 21.2 points, 7.7 assists and 5.0 rebounds in 67 games this season, his 10th in the NBA and sixth with the Pelicans.

–The Toronto Raptors signed veteran guard Jodie Meeks.

Terms were not disclosed. According to multiple reports, the deal is for the remainder of the season.

Meeks, 31, originally signed a 10-day contract with Toronto on Feb. 20 and has appeared in two games, averaging 7.5 points and 2.0 rebounds. In 533 career games (204 starts) with seven NBA teams, Meeks has averaged 9.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists.

Report: Pentagon Biggest Spender in End-of-Year Spree

The federal government spent $97 billion in a single month last year — almost two-thirds of it, $61 billion, attributed to the Pentagon, Military Times reported.

In an accounting by OpenTheBooks, a nonprofit aimed at bringing transparency and efficiency to the federal budget, recounted the so-called end of the year "use it or lose it" spending, the military news outlet reported.

The military spent the most — by far, the nonprofit's founder and CEO Adam Andrzejewski told Military Times.

"Let me be clear: Congress is the problem here, not DoD or other agencies," he told Military Times. "Historically, both parties tend to look the other way at Pentagon waste. This is a shame because the troops and taxpayers suffer. Lower priority items get funded while mission critical needs are short-changed."

Included in the stand-out purchases by the Pentagon was a $9,341 Wexford leather club chair purchased from the Interior Resource Group; $32 million worth of batteries, $4.3 million worth of books and pamphlets, $220 million worth of furniture, $7.6 million worth of workout equipment and $786.3 million spent on "guns, ammunition and bombs."

The Pentagon spent the most on five of those products: $124.3 million on medium caliber ammunition, $92.3 million for modification purposes, $75 million on the Paveway family of laser-guided bombs, nearly $54 million on M795 TNT, and $2.8 million on 40mm ammunition systems, Military Times reported.

Then there is food spending: The Pentagon spent $2.3 million on crab, including snow crab, Alaskan king crab, and crab legs and claws, as well as another $2.3 million on lobster tail, Military Times reported.

Some congressional leaders have shown an interest in reigning in this type of end-of-the-year spending, "but we need more," Andrzejewski told Military Times.

"Sens. Rand Paul [R-Ky.], Mark Warner [D-Va.] and Joni Ernst [R-Iowa] understand Congress needs to make structural reforms to get this problem under control," he added.

U.N. rights expert: Israel depriving Palestinians of clean water

March 18, 2019

By Stephanie Nebehay

GENEVA (Reuters) – Israel is depriving millions of Palestinians of access to a regular supply of clean water while stripping their land of minerals “in an apparent act of pillage”, a United Nations human rights investigator said on Monday.

Michael Lynk, U.N. special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, said that Israel “continues full-steam with settlement expansion” in the West Bank, which the United Nations and many countries deem illegal. There are some 20-25,000 new settlers a year, he said.

He was addressing the U.N. Human Rights Council, whose debate Israel’s delegation boycotted due to what it considers a deep bias against it. “In his latest farcical report, Mr. Lynk stoops to a new low and (accuses) the Jewish State of stealing,” Israel’s mission in Geneva said in a statement to Reuters. It

accused Lynk of being a “known Palestinian advocate”.

Israel’s main ally, the United States, quit the 47-member forum last year, also accusing it of an anti-Israel slant.

“In Gaza, the collapse of the coastal aquifer, the only natural source of drinking water in the Strip and now almost entirely unfit for human consumption, is contributing to a significant health crisis among the two million Palestinians living there,” Lynk said.

Despite the withdrawal of Israeli settlers and troops from Gaza in 2005, it has maintained a “hermetic seal of air, sea and land blockade” around the coastal enclave, he said.

An internationally-sponsored $567 million plan has been agreed to address Gaza’s acute shortage of clean water by constructing desalination plants, but analysts say its realization is years away.

“For nearly five million Palestinians living under occupation, the degradation of their water supply, the exploitation of their natural resources and the defacing of their environment are symptomatic of the lack of any meaningful control they have over their daily lives,” Lynk said.

In the West Bank, Israeli quarry companies extract some 17 million tonnes of stone each year, “notwithstanding strict prohibitions in international law against a military power economically exploiting an occupied territory”, Lynk said.

“The Dead Sea and its plentiful natural resources, part of which lies within the occupied Palestinian territory, is off-limits to any Palestinian development while Israeli companies are permitted to harvest the minerals in an apparent act of pillage,” he added.

Israeli authorities have said in the past that Palestinian quarries were ordered shut because they posed safety and environmental risks.

Palestinian Ambassador Ibrahim Khraishi called for Israel to halt what he said was theft of Palestinian property.

“Israel must stop this pillaging, what Israel is doing in the occupied territories is very far from its obligations under international law and treaties,” he said. “This is more even than apartheid.”

LONDON (Reuters) – The leader of Britain’s opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, said on Friday he had turned down an invitation to a state dinner which will be part of U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to Britain in June.

“Theresa May should not be rolling out the red carpet for a state visit to honor a president who rips up vital international treaties, backs climate change denial and uses racist and misogynist rhetoric,” Corbyn said in a statement.

He said maintaining the relationship with the United States did not require “the pomp and ceremony of a state visit” and he said he would welcome a meeting with Trump “to discuss all matters of interest.”

Libyan Minister of Economy Ali Abdulaziz Issawi speaks during an interview with Reuters in Tripoli

April 26, 2019

By Ulf Laessing

TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Libya’s U.N.-recognized government has budgeted up to 2 billion dinars ($1.43 billion) to cover costs of a three-week-old war for control of the capital, such as treatment for the wounded, to be funded without new borrowing, the economy minister said.

Ali Abdulaziz Issawi suggested the government hoped for business to continue more or less as usual despite the assault on Tripoli, in the country’s northwest, by forces tied to a parallel administration based in the eastern city of Benghazi.

Once Africa’s third largest producer of oil, Libya has been riven by factional conflict since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, with the country now broadly split between eastern-based forces under Khalifa Haftar and the U.N.-backed government in Tripoli, in the west, under Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj.

Still, with Haftar’s Libyan National Army forces unable so far to pierce defenses in Tripoli’s southern suburbs, normal life and business activities continue in much of the capital and western coastal towns.

Issawi, in an interview with Reuters in his Tripoli office, also said Libya’s commercial ports and wheat imports were still functioning normally, although some roads have been blocked.

He said the Serraj government estimates it will spend up to 2 billion dinars extra on medical treatment for wounded, aid for displaced people and other “emergency” war costs.

He said this was not military spending but analysts believe that the sum will also cover expenditures such as pay for allied armed groups or food for fighters.

“We could actually spend less,” he added, in comments that gave the first insight into the economic impact of the fighting.

Issawi said the Tripoli government, which controls little territory beyond the greater capital region, would not incur new debt to fund the war costs, sticking to a plan to post a 2019 budget without a deficit.

Tripoli derives revenue largely from oil and natural gas production, interest-free loans from local banks to the central bank, and a 183 percent surcharge on foreign exchange transactions conducted at official rates.

But with centralized tax collection greatly diminished, public debt has piled up – to 68 billion dinars in the west, including unpaid state obligations such as social insurance.

Some analysts expect Serraj’s government will be forced to raise new debt if the war for control of Tripoli drags on.

With much of Libya dominated by armed factions that also act as security forces, the public wage bill for both the western and eastern administrations has soared as fighters have been made public employees in efforts to buy their loyalty.

The east has sold bonds worth 35 billion dinars outside the official financial system as the Tripoli central bank does not fund the parallel government apart from some wages.

Despite its limited reach, the Tripoli government still runs an annual budget of around 46.8 billion dinars, mainly for public salaries and fuel subsidies.

“This year we cannot finance via debt…we will not borrow (by agreement with the central bank),” Issawi said.

According to International Monetary Fund data, Libya’s central government debt-to-GDP ratio is 143 percent, making it one of the most heavily indebted in the world on that measure.

Issawi declined to say what parts of the budget would be trimmed to support the extra outlay for war costs.

However, with some 70 percent of the budget allocated to public wages, fuel subsidies and other welfare benefits, a portion devoted to infrastructure is most likely to be axed.

Widespread lawlessness has meant there have been no major infrastructural projects since 2011, when a NATO-backed uprising overthrew dictator Muammar Gaddafi, leaving schools, hospitals and roads in acute need of restoration.

FOREX SURCHARGE

Issawi said the government planned to raise as much as 30 billion dinars by the end of 2019 from hard currency deals after imposing in September a 183 percent surcharge on commercial and private transactions done on the official rate of 1.4 to the U.S. dollar. That fee has effectively devalued the official rate to 3.9, much closer to the black market equivalent.

Some 17 billion dinars have been raised since then, with hard currency allocated for import credit letters now issued without delays, Issawi said. The forex fee has helped the government forecast a budget in the black for 2019.

Despite the narrowing spread between the two rates, the black market continues to thrive. Dozens of traders remained at their favorite spot behind the central bank headquarters in Tripoli when Reuters reporters visited it last week.

But traders said it could take time for the Serraj government to register the extra forex receipts as official banking channels were taking up to six months to approve import financing, keeping the black market in play for dealers.

Issawi said authorities planned to lower the forex fee from 183 percent, without saying when. The black market rate has dropped from 6 to around 4.1 since September but it has hardly moved of late as demand for black market cash remains high.

The Tripoli government has stopped subsidizing food and bread, which used to be cheaper than drinking water in Libya. Wheat imports are now being arranged by private traders and there are surplus stocks of flour at the moment, Issawi said.

Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., threatened possible jail time for White House officials refusing to comply with subpoenas to testify before the House Oversight Committee.

Connolly, a member of the House panel, made his comments during an interview on CNN on Thursday. He said that “if a subpoena is issued and you’re told you must testify, we will back that up.”

He added: “And we will use any and all power in our command to make sure it’s backed up — whether that’s a contempt citation, whether that’s going to court and getting that citation enforced, whether it’s fines, whether it’s possible incarceration.”

“We will go to the max to enforce the constitutional role of the legislative branch of government.”

His comments came after three officials have refused to comply with congressional requests to testify, CNN noted.

Trump told The Washington Post that his staff should not testify on Capitol Hill, explaining that the White House cooperated fully with special counsel Robert Mueller and “there is no reason to go any further, especially in Congress where it’s very partisan.”

“Outdated laws” need fixing to deal with the surge in illegal immigrant families crossing the U.S. border with Mexico, a top Border Patrol official said Friday.

Migrant families face no consequences if apprehended trying to cross the border illegally under present law, Border Patrol chief of Operations Brian Hastings claimed during an appearance on “Fox & Friends.”

“We need a change in the current outdated laws that we’re dealing with for this current demographic and this crisis that we have,” he said.

Hastings said as of Thursday there have been 440,000 apprehensions along the southwest border. There were 396,000 apprehensions all of last year.

SOUTHERN BORDER AT ‘BREAKING POINT’ AFTER MORE THAN 76,000 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TRIED CROSSING IN FEBRUARY, OFFICIALS SAY

And those numbers continue to rise, he said.

Historically 70 to 90 percent of apprehensions at the border were quickly returned to Mexico, Hastings said.

Now, 83 percent of those apprehended have come from the Central American northern triangle which includes Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, and of those 63 percent are “family units” and children who cannot be returned, he said.

“There are no consequences that we can apply to this group currently,” Hastings said. “We’re overwhelmed. If you look at agents there doing a tremendous job trying to deal with the flow.”

The law dictates children have to be released after 20 days of detention.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., says that has forced immigration officials to release entire families because “you don’t want to separate families.”

Recently, he said he is drafting legislation that would allow children to be detained for more than 20 days.

Hastings said agents are frustrated with the situation but are doing the best they can with the resources they have.

“Up to 40 percent of our agents are processing at any given time,” he said. “That should say that in and of itself is pulling from those border security resources.”
