Conservative Leaders Call on Jim Jordan to Run for House Speaker
Washington, DC300
WASHINGTON, DC — Over 100 conservative leaders are sending an open letter to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), urging him to run for Speaker of the House.
Conventional wisdom says that Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is heavily favored to be the establishment Republican choice to lead the chamber if the GOP holds on in November’s midterm elections. But many conservatives want a choice, and 114 leaders signed a letter asking for Jim Jordan to be the alternative.
“The present House Republican leadership has proven that it’s part of ‘the Swamp.’ Consequently, a vote to promote any member of today’s House GOP leadership is a vote for the Swamp,” the letter begins. “It’s time to Clean House.”
Jordan for Speaker Letter by Breitbart News on Scribd
EMBARGOED UNITL MAY 21, 2018
Hon. Jim Jordan
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Congressman Jordan:
The present House Republican leadership has proven that it’s part of “the Swamp.” Consequently, a vote to promote any member of today’s House GOP leadership is a vote for the Swamp. It’s time to Clean House. There must be a real race for Speaker of the House. Now, No backroom deals. A real race, starting this spring, to make every incumbent and candidate commit on the record, as a campaign issue, whether they’ll vote to save the Swamp or drain it.
America needs you to declare yourself as a candidate for Speaker at once. We write to you on behalf of millions of Americans who want Congress to Drain the Swamp.
That’s borne out by an instructive new poll of likely voters – Republicans, Democrats and independents – conducted by John McLaughlin for the Ear to the Ground Listening Project. It shows that the majority agrees that the current congressional leadership has failed to “eliminate the influence of the network of DC-centric professional bureaucrats, media, and insider elites.” As many as 60% of those polled want to drain the Swamp.
Only 6% believe Republicans will keep their campaign promises, a key symptom of resistance to the Swamp. So, even if the current GOP leadership had an inspiring agenda, few believe they would work to implement it.
And that’s entirely understandable since the Republican leaders in Congress have gone along with the rest of the Swamp in sabotaging President Trump’s efforts to staff his administration, shrink government, build a wall, etc.
The startling poll results found, moreover, that 80% of likely voters from across the political spectrum believe that “American traditions of freedom and individual rights are being threatened by social movements, public bullying, and increasing political violence.” Those threats, bullying, and violence are perpetrated by the extreme Left. But they are enabled by the wishy-washy, double-dealing present House leadership that, by not draining the Swamp, keeps the extremists funded and empowered.
As the Ear to the Ground Project’s Anne Sorock observed, “Americans are concerned that their individual rights are threatened with the rise of the often-violent mass movements – and yet they say their representation doesn’t share that concern, and is even contributing to the ‘Swamp’ that is boxing them out of being heard.”
Of those polled, a large number self-identified as Trump voters and 72% of them said it is“important to drain the Swamp.” As you know, they have become a key part of the Republican Party’s base. If the House of Representatives continues to be led – or, more accurately,misled –by the existing GOP leadership going into the elections this fall, their sentiments predictably will cause such voters to stay home.
It is imperative for the sake of the country we love and our God-given freedoms that the American people be offered another choice. They must have an alternative in the People’s House to the leadership and largely identical agendas of Republican and Democratic Swamp creatures.
It’s time to “clean House.”
You must take the lead. You have demonstrated over your years on Capitol Hill an unwavering commitment to our constitutional liberties and conservative principles of free market economics, budgetary discipline, traditional values and a strong national defense. You have worked to drain the Swamp, not fill it further. And we all know what the current House Republican leadership really thinks of you and those who share your beliefs. You have established a record of responsible leadership of the kind our times demand.
We petition you to declare yourself a candidate for Speaker of the House immediately and to begin offering a platform that will inspire and engage millions of Americans. What is needed now — not just in this fall’s congressional elections, but for years to come – is the reliable promise that the people’s interest will govern, not the Swamp and its bureaucratic-industrial complex.
To those who say there is no Speaker’s race at the moment, we say that it’s already underway – in back rooms, behind closed doors, and aimed at preserving the Swamp and making it bigger. The Speaker’s race must be public. There will be no Republican Speaker in 2019 unless the GOP can appeal to those Americans in its own ranks, among independents and even many Democrats who voted for Donald Trump to drain the Swamp and for the current Republican-led House to help him do that. They will not tolerate the promotion of those now in House leadership who have utterly failed in this regard. And neither will we.
The present House Republican leadership has failed. It is part of the problem. You are the solution. This is your moment. We pray you will seize it, knowing that if you do, we will do everything we can to help you succeed.

ABOUT TIME SOMEONE TELLS THE TRUTH
Report: Inspector General Will Declare FBI, DOJ Broke Law in Clinton Email Probe
G Horowitz Finds FBI, DOJ Broke Law In Clinton Probe, Refers To Prosecutor For Criminal Charges
As we reported on Thursday, a long-awaited report by the Department of Justice’s internal watchdog into the Hillary Clinton email investigation has moved into its final phase, as the DOJ notified multiple subjects mentioned in the document that they can privately review it by week’s end, and will have a “few days” to craft any response to criticism contained within the report, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Those invited to review the report were told they would have to sign nondisclosure agreements in order to read it, people familiar with the matter said. They are expected to have a few days to craft a response to any criticism in the report, which will then be incorporated in the final version to be released in coming weeks. –WSJ
Now, journalist Paul Sperry reports that “IG Horowitz has found “reasonable grounds” for believing there has been a violation of federal criminal law in the FBI/DOJ’s handling of the Clinton investigation/s and has referred his findings of potential criminal misconduct to Huber for possible criminal prosecution.”
BREAKING: IG Horowitz has found “reasonable grounds” for believing there has been a violation of federal criminal law in the FBI/DOJ’s handling of the Clinton investigation/s and has referred his findings of potential criminal misconduct to Huber for possible criminal prosecution
— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) May 17, 2018
Sperry also noted on Twitter that the FBI and DOJ had been targeting former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn before his December 2016 phone call with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, stemming from photos of Flynn at a December 2015 Moscow event with Vladimir Putin (and Jill Stein).
BREAKING: Comey/Yates targeted Gen. Flynn in C.I. investigation a yr BEFORE he communicated w Russian ambassador in Dec 2016 as a transition official–and the trigger was Flynn sitting at same table w Putin at Dec 2015 Moscow event, even tho Green Party’s Jill Stein also at table https://t.co/mZRLFX0nAD

As the IG prepares to release his next report, Sally Yates is suddenly animated & agitated. She is tweet-storming against Trump, giving speeches bashing Trump, and spinning her role in the investigations in the New York Times. Yates appears worried about something ahead of report https://t.co/7FsSOOjl7r

Who is Huber?
As we reported in March, Attorney General Jeff Sessions appointed John Huber – Utah’s top federal prosecutor, to be paired with IG Horowitz to investigate the multitude of accusations of FBI misconduct surrounding the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The announcement came one day after Inspector General Michael Horowitz confirmed that he will also be investigating allegations of FBI FISA abuse.
While Huber’s appointment fell short of the second special counsel demanded by Congressional investigators and concerned citizens alike, his appointment and subsequent pairing with Horowitz is notable – as many have pointed out that the Inspector General is significantly limited in his abilities to investigate. Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) noted in March “the IG’s office does not have authority to compel witness interviews, including from past employees, so its investigation will be limited in scope in comparison to a Special Counsel investigation,”
Sessions’ pairing of Horowitz with Huber keeps the investigation under the DOJ’s roof and out of the hands of an independent investigator.
Who is Horowitz?
In January, we profiled Michael Horowitz based on thorough research assembled by independent investigators. For those who think the upcoming OIG report is just going to be “all part of the show” – take pause; there’s a good chance this is an actual happening, so you may want to read up on the man whose year-long investigation may lead to criminal charges against those involved.
In short – Horowitz went to war with the Obama Administration to restore the OIG’s powers – and didn’t get them back until Trump took office.
Horowitz was appointed head of the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) in April, 2012 – after the Obama administration hobbled the OIG’s investigative powers in 2011 during the “Fast and Furious” scandal. The changes forced the various Inspectors General for all government agencies to request information while conducting investigations, as opposed to the authority to demand it. This allowed Holder (and other agency heads) to bog down OIG requests in bureaucratic red tape, and in some cases, deny them outright.
What did Horowitz do? As one twitter commentators puts it, he went to war…
In March of 2015, Horowitz’s office prepared a report for Congress titled Open and Unimplemented IG Recommendations. It laid the Obama Admin bare before Congress – illustrating among other things how the administration was wasting tens-of-billions of dollars by ignoring the recommendations made by the OIG.
After several attempts by congress to restore the OIG’s investigative powers, Rep. Jason Chaffetz successfully introduced H.R.6450 – the Inspector General Empowerment Act of 2016 – signed by a defeated lame duck President Obama into law on December 16th, 2016, cementing an alliance between Horrowitz and both houses of Congress.
1) Due to the Inspector General Empowerment Act of 2016, the OIG has access to all of the information that the target agency possesses. This not only includes their internal documentation and data, but also that which the agency externally collected and documented.
TrumpSoldier (@DaveNYviii) January 3, 2018
See here for a complete overview of the OIG’s new and restored powers. And while the public won’t get to see classified details of the OIG report, Mr. Horowitz is also big on public disclosure:
13) Horowitz in 2017 took his organization to a new level via public disclosure. He no longer wants his findings hidden from us by the media. In May he created the twitter account @OversightGov. On October 1st his website https://t.co/TJqbITz0IR went live. pic.twitter.com/H8MKD6WzVE
— TrumpSoldier (@DaveNYviii) January 3, 2018
Horowitz’s efforts to roll back Eric Holder’s restrictions on the OIG sealed the working relationship between Congress and the Inspector General’s ofice, and they most certainly appear to be on the same page. Moreover, FBI Director Christopher Wray seems to be on the same page as well. Click here and keep scrolling for that and more insight into what’s going on behind the scenes.
THE HILL NEWS ALERT
GOP lawmakers want Trump to stop bashing Congress
Senate Republicans want President Trump to stop taking jabs at Congress over its inability to get things done.
Trump loves to tout results and bash lawmakers when they do not move fast enough on his priorities.
A flurry of criticism has some Republicans worried that Trump could dampen enthusiasm among the GOP base, hurting turnout for the midterm elections.
CHURCH, STATE, AND GLOBAL GOVERNMENT MAKE STRANGE BEDFELLOWS
Posted at 12:27h in Sustainable Development
The vital news of the day has been reduced to a carefully crafted summary that can be covered in two minutes or less. Truths are no longer truths, and lies are no longer lies; what matters is how you spin your truth or lie to create the perfect sound bite to move the masses. Dr. Michael Lake, The Shinar Directive
What a world we live in today. But which world is it? The black is white one, or the ‘there is only gray’ one? Or another? While some of us have always had trouble discerning deceptions, today we all are in the same boat. There are too many deceptions foisted on us via media, our governments, schools, churches, social media – only those who are willing to expend the time to study the issues can sort the propaganda from the truth.
One problem is that the entities and people who are plotting for a one-world government have a lot of money, thus a lot of power. And remember that old adage, ‘power is an aphrodisiac.’ It truly is; power seduces those who want power, those who want to sleep with power, and those who want to be with the ‘in’ crowd. And, because our schools, instead of educating our children, are corrupting their values, attitudes, and beliefs, they are molding most to succumb to peer pressure – thus wanting to be part of the ‘in’ crowd.
Re: values, attitudes, and beliefs: there are many who scream to get the church out of the state, but what I see is the state needs to get out of the church, too. Instead, the church and state are marrying. Why? In my opinion, for power. The church, especially the Catholic Church has many millions of parishioners, thus voters – great for the state. The state has a plan that will centralize power in a small elite, and if the Catholic Church is on board, the Pope and his minions will be benefactors.
The plan behind all the deception is Sustainable Development with its concomitant parts of social justice, and sustainability (defined loosely enough to be as amorphous as climate change), and the ever-present ‘common good’. Tom describes social justice “as the right and opportunity of all people ‘to benefit equally from the resources afforded us by society and the environment.’ Redistribution of wealth. Private property is a social injustice since not everyone can build wealth from it. National sovereignty is a social injustice. Universal health care is a social justice.” But there are even more nasty ramifications of SJ. Certain groups are protected under social justice, but today’s groups might very well not be tomorrow’s; it is an ever changing, nebulous dictum.
Here is a perfect definition from the globalist perspective:
As I see it, social justice requires resource equity, fairness, and respect for diversity, as well as the eradication of existing forms of social oppression. Social justice entails a “redistribution” of resources from those who have “unjustly” gained them to those who justly deserve them, and it also means creating and “ensuring” the processes of truly democratic participation in decision-making…. It seems clear that only a “decisive” redistribution of resources and decision-making power can “ensure” social justice and authentic democracy. Joe Feagin, American Sociological Review
All I can say to that is to repeat an old Tammany Hall saying: “Th’ fella’ w’at said that patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels, underestimated th’ possibilities of compassion.”
The church should be caring for souls, but it seems to care for only a few souls. The rest of us need to disappear to make Mother Earth more pleasing to the ‘right’ people. From the Vatican on Biological Extinction:
“In recent years the Pontifical Academies have held several colloquia on the subject of social justice, global inequality, and deep poverty in the contemporary world. But we haven’t addressed the question whether the Earth system is able to support the demands that humanity has been making on it, nor how global inequality and poverty relate to that. The survival of the natural world, and ultimately our survival, depends on our adoption of principles of social justice and sustainability. And sustainability requires care for the biodiversity that supplies the services that enable humanity to live and prosper. As PAS President Werner Arber stated recently, the question is now not so much how our children and grandchildren will fare, but whether the world will be able to function sustainably during the remainder of our own lives.
“The living fabric of the world, which we are enjoyed in Genesis, Chapter II to protect, is slipping through our fingers without our showing much sign of caring.” Pontifical Academy of Sciences
Obviously, the Catholic Church doesn’t believe God is in control anymore.
And, of course, the church has friends in low places. In 1974, Paul Ehrlich, was crying that we were about to experience a new ice age. Now he is on the global warming/climate change bandwagon, and he is advising the papacy with no sign of contrition for his wild swings of prophecy: “One in five species on Earth now faces extinction, and that will rise to 50% by the end of the century unless urgent action is taken. A world population of around a billion would have an overall pro-life effect. This could be supported for many millennia and sustain many more human lives in the long term compared with our current uncontrolled growth and prospect of sudden collapse.” That is the stark view of the world’s leading biologists, ecologists and economists who gathered to determine the social and economic changes needed to save the planet’s biosphere.
“The living fabric of the world is slipping through our fingers without our showing much sign of caring,” say the organizers of the Biological Extinction conference held at the Vatican.
Between the Vatican and the Greens, we humans are damned – and rightly so. They convened a workshop titled, ‘How to Save the Natural World on Which We Depend,’ …to strategize together on how to limit the mass extinction event caused by rampant over-development, climate change, overpopulation, and unsustainable agricultural practices.”
“The living fabric of the world is slipping through our fingers without our showing much sign of caring,” said the organizers of the workshop.
Forgive me for wondering how the Catholic Church went from banning birth control to worrying about overpopulation? And the ‘living fabric of the world’? I am surmising they mean Mother Earth and not the babies not being born.

BAD DECISION THAT CAUSE FAILURE; BOTH SEXES ARE MORE

New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is viewed as one of the top Democrat challengers to Donald Trump in 2020.
Gillibrand has remade herself into a queen of the resistance. But Gillibrand took it too far and now one sexist remark just doomed her candidacy.
Gillibrand was trying to build her social justice street cred when speaking before a group of feminists. The 2020 Democrat primary will be a campaign to see who can be the most left-wing champion of identity politics. And Gillibrand was working to lock down the female empowerment vote when she declared that if women were in charge in 2008, the financial crisis never would have occurred.
Fox News reports:
“New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand told a group of feminists this week that if now-defunct investment bank were run by women, the 2008 financial collapse could have been averted.
“If it weren’t Lehman Brothers, but Lehman Sisters, we might not have had the financial collapse,” she said. Gillibrand, a Democrat who holds the seat formerly occupied by Hillary Clinton, said the “empowerment of women” is key to the economy and corporate leadership.
“We don’t value women in society,” Gillibrand said.
Tucker Carlson said Gillibrand told the group that gender, not bad risk models or bad government policy, was key to the financial disaster that befell the final months of the Bush administration. “The 2008 financial collapse was huge and complex,” he said, calling Gillibrand, 51, a “Senate non-entity.”
Democrats are guaranteeing Donald Trump’s re-election with this type of incendiary rhetoric. Hating men and far-left identity politics may play well on college campuses and gin up social media mobs, but they repel everyday Americans.
But Democrats are caught in a bind.
Gillibrand knows she can’t win the nomination without the support of the social justice warriors who terrorize America because they make up a large portion of the Democrat base.
So in Gillibrand’s quest to win the nomination she just doomed her chances in the general election.

O’Reilly in ‘Advanced Talks’ About His Return to Cable Read more at http://americanupdate.com/articles/o-reilly-in-advanced-talks-about-his-return-to-cable#8507cLca3xPIpaM3.99
Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly is reportedly eyeing a comeback on cable news, a little over a year after his ouster following the revelation that he and Fox News paid millions of dollars to settle sexual-harassment claims from women.
O’Reilly is reportedly in “advanced” talks to take an 8 p.m. slot — this time with Newsmax TV, a right-leaning network owned by Newsmax Media, according to Page Six. Newsmax streams for free online and is by CEO and editor-in-chief, Christopher Ruddy, who is also one of President Donald Trump’s confidants.
In addition to O’Reilly, the network is also reportedly considering other former Fox News hosts, including Greta Van Susteren, and Eric Bolling; and former White House press secretary Sean Spicer, who could be making his debut on a late-night political panel show.
“The deals are not done yet, but talks are in the advanced stages, certainly with O’Reilly,” a source told Page Six. “The thinking is, following a 6 p.m. news show, Greta would anchor the 7 p.m. hour, O’Reilly would be back at 8 p.m., and Bolling could smoothly continue on at 9 p.m.

Kim Jong Un surprises with savvy power plays

Kim sent his sister on a charm offensive during the Winter Olympics, cracked jokes when meeting with South Korea’s president and knocked President Trump off-balance this week by throwing a kink into their planned nuclear summit.
“It’s quite remarkable,” said Robert Manning, a senior fellow the Atlantic Council. “He’s been there for, what, five years, and the only person he’s hung out with is Dennis Rodman, and suddenly he’s this great statesman.”
This year has been something of a coming out party for Kim, who took power in 2011 when his father died.

Dick Morris: Ghost Voters Keep Democrats in Office
Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
Voters who have moved away and those who are deceased may provide a solid core of Democrat votes in many key states.
Because most states do not have efficient or effective ways of purging their voter rolls when people leave the area or pass away, the names stay on the rolls and afford a great opportunity — in the absence of photo IDs — for fraudulent ballots to be cast in their name. States are limited in what they can do to ascertain who still lives at a voter’s address and who has moved because courts have ruled that doing so could intimidate minority voters.
For example, any requirement that a voter respond to a postcard to show he is still living in a residence has been treated by the courts as an impediment to voting that has a “chilling effect” on the exercise of the franchise. But a study by Deroy Murdock, a Fox News contributor (no relation to Rupert) and an editor at National Review Online, reveals that there are 3,551,760 more registered voters than there are adults in certain counties throughout the nation.
In swing states, the number of “ghost voters” may be enough to swing the outcome.
Ghost Voters in Swing States
-
Colorado: 159,373
-
Florida: 100,782
-
Iowa: 31,077
-
Michigan: 225,235
-
New Hampshire: 8,211
-
North Carolina: 189,721
-
Virginia: 89,979
2016 Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton won Colorado by 136,386 votes and New Hampshire by 2,736 — both fewer than the number of ghost voters who could have backed her and tipped the balance. President Donald Trump carried Michigan by 10,714 votes and North Carolina by 173,315 — again less than the number of ghosts.
Congress, the courts and the state legislatures must curb this danger to our democracy.
Congress should pass laws requiring states to clean their voter files before the next presidential election.
The courts should specify constitutional means for doing so and realize that when a ghost votes through fraud, he is depriving legal voters of the full meaning of their own franchise. And states, of course, need to act on their own to tighten the ghost-voter loophole.
Why don’t they? Conservatives suspect it is because many liberals want the loophole to remain open so they can exploit it to win close elections.But we must make them close it.

THE HILL NEWS ALERT
Talk of unproven FBI ‘plant’ in Trump campaign circulates among Republicans
A small cadre of House Republicans believe that they have sniffed out the identity of a confidential FBI informant who reportedly met with Trump campaign officials during the election.
The GOP lawmakers have raised alarm bells about the alleged source in service of their argument that the FBI may have inappropriately “spied” on members of the Trump campaign during the election.
NO AR “ASSAULT” WEAPON USED IN TEXAS SHOOTING! TIME TO QUIT BLAMING THE “GUN”!!!
After Texas school shooting leaves 10 dead, hunt for explosives continues
Law enforcement is still searching Santa Fe High School in Texas and other locations for explosive devices after a gunman opened fire at the school on Friday morning, leaving at least 10 people dead and another 10 injured in what Gov. Greg Abbott labeled “the worst disaster to ever strike this community.”
Suspect Dimitrios Pagourtzis, 17, is in custody in connection with the shooting. Pagourtzis allegedly used a shotgun and a .38 revolver in the attack, Abbott said in an afternoon press conference.
“Various kinds of explosives,” including a “CO2 device” and a Molotov cocktail, were also found in a home and a vehicle, Abbott stated, adding there is “potential for explosive devices in other sites being investigated.”
It appears the devices were made by the shooter but that could not be “solidly confirmed.” Officials are still “working on a total number of explosive devices,” which may be in the suspect’s “house, car and other two locations.”
“Law enforcement is still in the process of undertaking searches and investigations of the entire scene and other locations,” the governor said.
“This,” he added, “is just the beginning of what will be a very robust response.”
Police officers responded to the location around 8 a.m. CDT Friday following reports that a shooter opened fire inside. Witnesses said the gunman started shooting in an art class during the first period. He allegedly entered wearing a long coat with a shotgun hidden underneath.
Some 1,400 students attend the school, officials said.
A 17-year-old student told Fox News her friend was shot in the leg.
“We all thought it was practice drill and we all started kind of running and laughing across the street, hiding behind the auto place. At that point, they had us starting to write our names on papers showing that we were there… and they had us walking over…” Destiny Clark, a junior, said as she pointed to stores. “It was very dramatic. Nobody really knew what was going on.”

Are illegal immigration amnesty Republicans trying to hand majority back to Pelosi?
The amnesty crowd on Capitol Hill is up to its old tricks again, still pushing the idea of rewarding bad behavior while ignoring the plights of law-abiding American citizens. With all the problems facing the country, illegal immigration amnesty seems to be the only thing that brings politicians together. Apparently, they were not paying attention when President Donald Trump won the election in 2016 and are determined to go against the will of the people.
Are federal and state-funded child care centers funding terrorist groups overseas?
A five-month Fox 9 investigation revealed, welfare fraud, done through the state child care services, has cost Minnesota taxpayers as much as $100 million a year. The report explains, Fox 9 responded to a tip regarding a man leaving the country with $1 million cash in his suitcase. This is legal for travelers with proper paperwork and, apparently, a nearly weekly occurrence at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The problem authorities discovered is that portions of this money are funneled to Hawalas in regions of Somalia controlled by the al Shabaab terrorist groups. When the money arrives, whether it was sent for legitimate reasons or not, al Shabaab or other terrorist groups demand a cut of the funds.
Hans Von Spakovsky: It’s been one year since Mueller began his investigation. It’s past time for it to wrap up
“[A]fter a year, we still have not seen him produce anything publicly that supports the claim he was originally assigned to investigate – whether there was any collusion of any kind in the 2016 election between the Trump campaign and Russia.”
House rejects farm bill as conservatives revolt – RINO RYAN GIVEN A DESERVING DEFEAT!
House rejects farm bill as conservatives revolt
A five-year farm bill went down to defeat in the House on Friday in a stunning blow to GOP leaders brought about by conservative unrest over immigration.
In a 198-213 vote, GOP conservatives essentially joined Democrats in rejecting the measure, which would have introduced new requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program [SNAP] that were a priority for Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).
Ryan and other GOP leaders fought in vain to convince recalcitrant members to back the measure before and during the vote.
Ryan, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) huddled with House Freedom Caucus leader Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Scott Perry (R-Pa.) earlier as lawmakers voted on amendments to the bill.
After the failed vote, a frustrated Rep. Dennis Ross (R-Fla.) left the chamber warning that now more Republican members would sign a discharge petition intended to force votes on a series of immigration measures, including some likely to be backed by Democrats.
He said GOP leaders had sought to convince members to back the farm bill with this warning.
Conservatives in the House Freedom Caucus opposed the farm bill because the GOP did not first allow a vote on a conservative-backed immigration bill crafted by Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.).
McCarthy has promised the bill would get a vote in June, but that wasn’t enough assurance for the members.
The discharge petition has badly divided Republicans and reminded the GOP of their stark differences on immigration.
The effort represents a revolt against GOP leaders, who generally control what comes to the floor. The petition would set up a “Queen of the Hill” process in which four immigration measures would be voted upon, with the one getting the most votes above 218 being sent to the Senate.
Democrats have been told to back the discharge petition, and GOP leaders have argued it effectively gives power to the minority party.
The votes could lead to House passage of legislation that would shelter “dreamers,” immigrants brought to the United States illegally as children. Helping these immigrants is important to Democrats and many of those backing the discharge petition, as an Obama-era program sheltering them from deportation is being unwound by President Trump.
Kevin Shipp – Civil War Between Dark Side & Constitution Side
Published on Apr 28, 2018
Former CIA Officer and whistleblower Kevin Shipp says, “There is essentially a civil war involving parts of senior management and upper parts of our government that is occurring in the United States. It’s between the ‘Dark’ side and the ‘Constitutional’ side. There has never been anything like this in history. . . . People need to understand that the Democrat Party today is not the Democrat Party of John F. Kennedy. The Democrat Party with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is more Marxist than anything else. They think the Constitution should be a ‘progressive’ document. In other words, the Constitution is outdated and should be redone. They are both directly connected into George Soros, who wants to destroy the sovereignty of the U.S. government. . . . The Democrat Party is now made up of Marxists and leftists that have penetrated that entire organization. . . . Their entire goal is to change our form of government and destroy our sovereignty.” Join Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog.com as he goes One-on-One with CIA whistleblower Kevin Shipp, founder of the website ForTheLoveofFreedom.net.

For National Release | May 18, 2018
Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is sounding the alarm that Breitbart News is censoring voices that oppose Amnesty for illegal immigrants or criticize Trump’s reversals on Amnesty in an effort to support the Trump backed Amnesty bill sponsored by Rep. Goodlatte (HR 4760: Securing America’s Future Act (https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/4760?mc_cid=de19873805&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) ).
While HR 4760 (https://www.alipac.us/tags/hr%204760/?mc_cid=de19873805&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) promises conservative voters many things they want to hear about building a wall and reducing legal immigration levels, the core mission of the legislation is to get through an Amnesty for a minimum of 800,000 illegal aliens currently given immunity from existing immigration laws by Obama’s and Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional DACA orders. ALIPAC defeated Senator Dick Durbin’s Dream Act bill in the US Senate in December of 2010 by releasing a hidden clause within the bill that would allow DHS to waive all Amnesty limits and immigration enforcement promises.
DACA Amnesty, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, is blatantly unconstitutional because it is the same Dream Act legislation that groups like ALIPAC have successfully defeated in Congress made into policy through Presidential memos.
ALIPAC and other voices critical of a DC deal on DACA and President Trump’s support for DACA have recently been banned from Breitbart News, as the publication has joined with other DC-based groups like NumbersUSA and the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) in backing the Amnesty Deal found in HR 4760. DC-based groups supporting HR 4760 are cited and quoted extensively in Breitbart News articles while sources like ALIPAC that oppose the bill and Trump’s Amnesty support are now blackballed at Breitbart News.
“It is very disturbing and onerous for Americans who oppose Amnesty for illegal aliens to see Breitbart News engage in the very same kind of censorship found at Fox News, CNN, CBS, The New York Times and Huffington Post against Americans who oppose immigration reform Amnesty for illegals,” declared William Gheen (https://www.alipac.us/William-Gheen/?mc_cid=de19873805&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) , President of ALIPAC. “After including us in articles for many years, our dissent on HR 4760 and criticisms of Trump’s betrayals on key immigration promises have put us on a blacklist at Breitbart News. The fix is in at Breitbart, and while their articles pretend to show concern for the negative impacts of illegal immigration, they are supporting legislation that will make illegal immigration worse through Amnesty.”
ALIPAC contends that there is no room to give on Amnesty for illegals because no news agency, group, or member of Congress can assure Americans that the enforcement promises found in legislation will ever materialize. Yet the Amnesty contained within the bill will likely be implemented on a scale three times larger than the legislation promises since that is what happened with Reagan’s Amnesty in 1986, which created America’s current illegal immigration crisis and handed California permanently to the Democrats.
Giving the DACA/Dream Act Amnesty illegals citizenship or legal status is a strategy of the highest importance to the power groups who seek to transform America into a totalitarian socialist open borders post-American construct. These young illegals are being utilized as the tip of a spear to penetrate America’s armor, allowing the rest of the blade to be pushed through America’s heart on later dates. The billionaire-backed strategists intend to gain legal status for DACA/Dreamer illegals first, and then use the momentum of that victory to gain voting rights for more than ten million illegal aliens who will in turn hand control of US elections, laws, policies, and government to Democrats for coming centuries.
Breitbart News, CIS, and NumbersUSA are now all a part of this move. They are fighting hard to signal DC lawmakers they can support Amnesty legislation like HR 4760, and they will work to filter out voices that oppose their Amnesty bill.
Breitbart News reports on illegal immigration issues and Amnesty legislation more than any other publication in America. However, ALL of their articles apply positive spin to the Goodlatte Amnesty bill HR 4760 and exclude the fact that Americans for Legal Immigration PAC opposes the bill. Some articles even speak as if the anti-illegal immigration groups all support the Goodlatte Amnesty deal!
Current examples:
–Breitbart’s May 17 article by Sean Moran glorifies Amnesty bill HR 4760 and never once mentions the Amnesty for illegals contained in the bill nor any of the concerns of groups like ALIPAC that oppose the bill. (View (https://www.alipac.us/f12/rep-mark-meadows-%91-time-now%92-vote-wall-immigration-reform-358903/?mc_cid=de19873805&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) )
–May 16 article by John Binder and Neil Munro states, “Currently, the Goodlatte bill — supported by pro-American immigration reformers — trades an enforceable, small amnesty for only the roughly 800,000 illegal aliens enrolled in DACA, plus extra white-collar workers for business, in exchange for a package of immigration reforms.” (View (https://www.alipac.us/f12/ryan-sketches-plan-amnesty-bill-mollify-business-first-gop-358873/?mc_cid=de19873805&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) )
“Mr. Binder and Munro, along with ten other Breitbart reporters, receive our ALIPAC press releases on a regular basis, and they are well aware that the pro-American immigration reformers at ALIPAC do not support the Goodlatte Amnesty bill and that we do not believe in their new theory of an ‘enforceable Amnesty’ in an America where the majority of our existing immigration and border laws go unenforced. Breitbart cannot influence positive change or improvements for Americans by writing articles that are so disingenuous and blatantly fictitious. Only by realistically assessing the problems and actions of President Trump and GOP Amnesty supporters in Congress like Bob Goodlatte can America have any hope of survival and improvement,” explained William Gheen (http://williamgheen.org?mc_cid=de19873805&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) in response to Breitbart’s censorship and support for Amnesty for illegal immigrants.
ALIPAC’s 50,000 e-mail subscribers (http://alipac.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=a5af36e36edcab4a5e133d21d&id=f5acebead8&mc_cid=de19873805&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) and more thanhalf a million social media followers (https://www.alipac.us/f31/alipacs-social-media-directory-295307/?mc_cid=de19873805&mc_eid=[UNIQID]) are encouraged to review all biased Breitbart articles that exclude criticism of Trump’s Amnesty plans and Amnesty bills like HR 4760, and comment their opposition to Amnesty beneath the articles.
