Alexander Vindman Retires from Military

by Daveda Gruber:

On Wednesday the man who was a key failed impeachment witness, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, retired from the army.

David Pressman, Vindman’s lawyer and a former ambassador to the United Nations for Special Political Affairs, referred to “a campaign of bullying, intimidation and retaliation” as a reason for shortening the military career of Vindman.

A tweet from Vindman in civilian clothes typing on a laptop computer announced his intentions. Vindman has only sixteen tweets to his credit and a video of him testifying is his pinned tweet.

Here is the retirement tweet:

Here is the pinned tweet:

Vindman had been fired from the National Security Council and was escorted off  the White House grounds two days after the Senate acquitted President Trump in his impeachment trial.

Along with Vindman, his twin brother, Col. Yevgeny Vindman, was escorted out and dismissed from the NSC with his twin.

Pressman said that after twenty-one years of service in the military, Vindman retired because “it has been made clear that his future within the institution he has dutifully served will forever be limited.”

Pressman put out a lengthy statement that expressed that Vindman was bullied by Trump.

He said, “LTC Vindman’s patriotism has cost him his career. Today our country loses a devoted soldier, but it is incumbent upon all of us to ensure it does not lose the values he represents.”

Trump has been accused by Democrats of retaliating against impeachment witnesses, including Vindman and U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland.

Sondland was also recalled from his position.

In an article that I wrote on July 2nd I explained that Senator Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., had announced that she had intention to block Senate confirmations for 1,123 senior U.S. Armed Forces promotions until  Mark Esper, who is Defense Secretary, confirmed that he would not block the expected and deserved” promotion for Vindman.

Pressure to Promote Vindman?

The statement from Duckman said, “Our military is supposed to be the ultimate meritocracy. It is simply unprecedented and wrong for any Commander in Chief to meddle in routine military matters at all, whether or not he has a personal vendetta against a soldier who did his patriotic duty and told the truth—a soldier who has been recommended for promotion by his superiors because of his performance.”

Duckman is one of the women who are being considered for the Vice Presidential slot for presumed Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden.

In any case, no one will ever have to be reminded by Vindman to call him Lieutenant Colonel in the future.

We all remember that, right? I know that I remember it well.

Little Sisters of the Poor Get Good News

On Wednesday Little Sisters of the Poor and the Trump administration got good news from the ruling of the Supreme Court.

The Catholic group has been at the center of the national debate when the Trump administration expanded exemptions to the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) requirement for employers to provide insurance coverage that includes contraception.

The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration acted within its authority with a 7 to 2 vote.

The Little Sisters of the Poor cares for the elderly.

Two related disputes that were against Pennsylvania when they sued over the legality of a rule from the Trump administration. The rule allowed religious associated groups and some profit earning companies to be able to opt-out of providing contraception coverage to their employees.

The majority opinion was written by Justice Clarance Thomas. He ruled that the Trump administration’s challenged rulemaking was aboveboard, but acknowledged the work of the Little Sisters of the Poor.

Thomas wrote, “For over 150 years, the Little Sisters have engaged in faithful service and sacrifice, motivated by a religious calling to surrender all for the sake of their brother. But for the past seven years, they—like many other religious objectors who have participated in the litigation and rulemakings leading up to today’s decision— have had to fight for the ability to continue in their noble work without violating their sincerely held religious beliefs.”

The written opinion goes on to say, “We hold today that the Departments had the statutory authority to craft that exemption, as well as the contemporaneously issued moral exemption. We further hold that the rules promulgating these exemptions are free from procedural defects.”

Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor were the two justices who dissented.

A nationwide injunction had put exemptions on hold while lower court rulings had gone against the administration. The Supreme Court’s ruling on Wednesday is a huge win for religious conservatives who have been battling the ACA’s contraceptive mandate for years.

Obamacare will bring the Supreme Court to rule on red-leaning states to invalidate the entire Affordable Care Act.

Democrats are opposed to invalidating the entire Affordable Care Act.

It will be up to the Supreme Court to make that decision but the Little Sisters are now exempt.

It boggles my mind why anyone would try to bring costs up implementing the supply of birth control by a Catholic group with the name “Little Sisters of the Poor.”

To me, the case was lost from the get go. But then, as I always say, “You can’t fix stupid.”

Ghislaine Maxwell Transferred to NY Prison & Will Plead Guilty

On Monday the ex-girlfriend and confident to Jeffery Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, was transferred from New Hampshire, where she was arrested and taken to a New York federal prison.

Maxwell is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

A Friday court appearance in Manhattan federal court has been asked for by prosecutors.

Maxwell is the daughter of the late British media magnate Robert Maxwell. She has been indicted on multiple charges in connection to an alleged sex-trafficking operation that brought adolescent girls who were as young fourteen, to Epstein’s Manhattan home.

Also on Monday, Francey Hakes, who is a federal prosecutor, spoke to Fox & Friends and predicted that Maxwell will plead guilty and that she will be cooperating.

According to Hakes, Maxwell is facing a ten year mandatory minimum sentence and a maximum life sentence.

Hakes believes that Maxwell will likely cooperate and reveal names of others who were involved in the alleged sex trafficking ring.

She went on to say, “She has to do every day of that minimum 10 years and she’s grown up a pampered, spoiled woman. There is no way that she would even consider going to jail for that length of time.”

I would guess that there are quite a few well known people who didn’t have a great holiday weekend knowing that Maxwell could name them.

Predators of children must be held accountable but that would mean that Maxwell would have to give details and possible video tapes which allegedly hold proof of some of the sexual assaults.

Since I believe that Epstein didn’t kill himself, Maxwell must be well guarded and the guards had better be vetted well.

What happens next is anyone’s guess.

Trump Gives Mount Rushmore & July 4th New Meaning

Last night many Americans had the privilege to watch and listen to President Trump in South Dakota in the shadow of the beauty of Mount Rushmore.

As the President stood and spoke, many thought that this was his best speech since he became our President.

There had been concerns that Mount Rushmore could be destroyed because of the efforts from radical domestic terrorists to take away our history by removing statues and monuments that these anti-Trump people feel make them feel offended.

In his speech Trump vowed, “This monument will never be desecrated. All of those found guilty of defacing statues and monuments will face ten years in prison. The party’s over for lawless and destructive street anarchy.”

Trump went on to say, “This movement is openly attacking the legacies of every person on Mount Rushmore. Those who seek to erase our heritage want Americans to forget our pride and our great dignity, so that we can no longer understand ourselves or America’s destiny. In toppling the heroes of 1776, they seek to dissolve the bonds of love and loyalty that we feel for our country, and for each other.”

“Trump declared the United States to be “the most just and exceptional nation ever to exist on Earth” and claimed that “no nation has done more to advance the human condition than the United States of America and no people have done more to promote human progress than the CITIZENS [emphasis original] of our great nation.”

Last night’s kickoff for July 4th celebrations included a spectacular fireworks show over Mount Rushmore, which has not been done for a decade because of the possibility of wild fires.

Apparently, the risk has been diminished throughout the years. There were no reports of wildfires burning in the Black Hills the morning after.

I felt that the spirit of Independence Day was delivered with grace and strength by a man who came across as a real leader of the greatest nation in the world.

In essence, our President may have given the most expressive and high spirited speech of his presidency. I truly believe that he gave new meaning to the importance of Mount Rushmore and to

July 4th our Independence Day.

On the July 4th 2020 weekend, a renewed passion released patriotism within the American people and the sky up high at Mount Rushmore.

God Bless President Trump and God Bless America!

Pressure to Promote Vindman?

Do you remember Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman? Well, he’s back in the news.

On Thursday Senator Tammy Duckworth, D- Ill., announced that she plans to block Senate confirmations for 1,123 senior U.S. Armed Forces promotions. Why, you ask?

Duckworth wants Defense Secretary Mark Esper to confirm that he will not block the “expected and deserved” promotion of Vindman.

Vindman, who is an Iraq War veteran, was the Director for European Affairs for the United States National Security Council until he was reassigned on February 7, 2020.

He gained fame last year when he testified about the now famous July 2019 phone call between President Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky. That call ultimately became the basis for the Democratic led impeachment inquiry.

Vindman testified that he listened to the July call and filed a whistleblower complaint over concerns that Trump allegedly tried to pressure Zelensky to investigate for Vice President and now presumed Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.

Hunter Biden served on the board of one of Ukraine’s largest natural gas companies, Burisma, from 2014 to 2019.

Trump was accused of using the holding back of military aid to Ukraine as leverage in his request to Zelensky.

After being acquitted of two articles of impeachment in the Senate, Trump removed Vindman from his position.

Duckworth was a helicopter pilot in the Iraq War. She accused Trump of trying to politicize the armed forces.

She said in a statement, “Our military is supposed to be the ultimate meritocracy. It is simply unprecedented and wrong for any Commander in Chief to meddle in routine military matters at all, whether or not he has a personal vendetta against a Soldier who did his patriotic duty and told the truth-a Soldier who has been recommended for promotion by his superiors because of his performance.”

Duckworth went on to say that she will back off her promise if Esper confirms in writing that he will not block Vindman’s promotion to Colonel.

I’ll never forget how proud Vindman was of his title as Lieutenant Colonel, as he insisted on being referred to.

I know that letting my emotions get into my writing factual material isn’t good but I personally would not like to see Vindman get promoted. As a matter of fact, I have a bad taste in my mouth from reporting on his testimony during the impeachment inquiry.

Here is Vindman’s opening statement in the impeachment inquiry.

Are Trump Haters Morons and Hypocrites?

Where is the anger and the protests? No, not the ones we’ve seen in America lately.

This article is not the usual kind that I write but I am angry and I’d like to show you that I am not the only one who is angry.

What is the real story of slavery that is happening right now? Are you aware that there are slave markets in Libya, right now?

Why are there Concentration camps still around, today?

Did you know that Muslim women get raped all the time?

Are you a part of the LGBT movement? Why are you not upset that gay men are thrown off buildings? It happens, even today!

Here is a video you want to watch! Pay attention people because Democratic hatred for President Trump is focused in the wrong direction.

It appears that some people think and believe that Trump haters are morons and hypocrites.

Harbir Nain was born in Chandigarh, India and now lives in New Delhi, India an he has quite a few videos on his YouTube Channel. He had his Twitter account suspended, most likely, for the content in these videos.

We should all pay attention to what is happening in the rest of the world and who made it happen and why it is the way it is.

He mentions some names which I am sure you will know.

Biden Accuses Trump of Dereliction of Duty

 
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

After quite some time in his basement in Delaware, Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, had his first press conference in close to three months on Tuesday.

Needless to say, Biden didn’t have anything nice to say about President Trump and his response to the reports from the New York Times that Russian intelligence operatives offered to pay bounties to Taliban linked militants who killed U.S. troops that are stationed in Afghanistan.

Trump has adamantly denied that he was briefed on any such matter before the New York Times article came out.

Biden was taking questions from reporters when he said, “The idea that somehow he didn’t know is a dereliction of duty if that’s the case. And if he was briefed and he didn’t do anything about it that is a dereliction of duty.”

Besides the report from the New York Times, the Washington Post seemed to jump on the bandwagon and reported that the Russian bounties are “believed to have resulted in the deaths of several U.S. service members.”

Further reports from the Associated Press alleged that officials said an April 2019 attack on an American convoy that killed three Marines in Afghanistan is under investigation.

Trump tweeted this on Monday:

This tweet came from Trump on Sunday.

John Bolton, who was national security adviser until he was fired recently, also allegedly told colleagues at the time that he briefed Trump on the intelligence assessment in March 2019.

According to officials who allegedly leaked the information to the New York Times, the evaluation concerning Russians and bounties to kill American military was included in at least one of President Donald Trump’s written daily intelligence briefings at the time.

So we have information from unnamed sources who reportedly told mainstream media, or as I like to call them, “Fake News” and Bolton, the man who is trying to get rich off of a book that he put out to smear Trump.

On Tuesday Biden said that it was unimaginable that Trump would not have known about the intelligence, and called into question the president’s cognitive abilities.

The former Vice President went on to say, “The president talks about cognitive capability, but he is not cognitively aware of what’s going on.”

Biden also called on Congress to investigate the matter and, come Election Day, “for the public to decide whether he is fit for office.”

Now, that’s Biden questioning Trump’s cognitive capability.

I’m not sure what my readers have seen of Biden speaking, or rather trying to speak, but I can tell you that Trump has all his marbles but from what I’ve seen, Biden doesn’t.

Biden was better off hiding in his basement but then we wouldn’t get to see his cognitive capability on full display.

Did Russians Put a Bounty on U.S. Military in Afghanistan?

by Daveda Gruber:

Late on Monday the Defense Department claimed that there is no corroborating evidence that supports what the New York Times reported about Russian military offering bounties to the Taliban linked militants in Afghanistan to kill U.S. troops.

President Trump has denied any knowledge of the situation that the Times reported.

A statement from the Pentagon was put out.

Jonathan  Hoffman, the chief Pentagon spokesman, said in that statement, “To date, DOD has no corroborating evidence to validate the recent allegations found in open-source reports. Regardless, we always take the safety and security of our forces in Afghanistan—and around the world—most seriously and therefore continuously adopt measures to prevent harm from potential threats.”

The New York Times did not name its sources but they are allegedly officials.

The unnamed people allegedly gave information that some “Islamist militants” or “criminal elements” collected payouts.

The report went on to say that that 20 Americans were killed there in 2019 but the article didn’t articulate if the bounty had been involved in any of the deaths.

In a statement from the national security adviser, Robert O’Brien, he wrote that the allegations in the report were not verified by the intelligence community and that is the reason that Trump was not briefed on the matter.

He said, “Nevertheless, the administration, including the National Security Council staff, have been preparing should the situation warrant action.”

O’Brien noted that Trump’s top priority is the security of Americans and the safety of the men and women who serve in the military.

A briefing was led by Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and O’Brien, were Representative Michael McCaul, R-TX., who is  the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Representative Adam Kinzinger, R-IL.,

McCaul and Kinzinger said in a statement that lawmakers were told “there is an ongoing review to determine the accuracy of these reports.”

In the statement they said, “If the intelligence review process verifies the reports, we strongly encourage the Administration to take swift and serious action to hold the Putin regime accountable.”

Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany also gave a statement which she said, “This does not speak to the merit of the alleged intelligence but to the inaccuracy of the New York Times story erroneously suggesting that President Trump was briefed on this matter.”

She reiterated that the White House has maintained that neither Trump nor Vice President Mike Pence was briefed on such intelligence.

It has been reported that Trump has now been briefed but that briefing took place after the New York Times reported on unverified intelligence.

But the White House is still insisting that Trump has not been briefed yet.

Why the discrepancy? Could the information have been completely made up?

On Tuesday, top Democrats in the House visited the White House for a briefing on the alleged bounties.

The delegation was led by Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md,. and also included Intelligence Committee Chairman Representative Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., and others.

On Monday, Hoyer had demanded a briefing for all House members on the matter.

A think tank, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ senior fellow, Thomas Joscelyn, allegedly told the Wall Street Journal that “Moscow’s willingness to embrace the Taliban openly and publicly dates back several years.” He also said that would not be surprised if there is truth to the report.

If there is truth to the report? The report has not been verified or substantiated by the Intelligence Community.

What if there is no truth to the report? Could the New York Times have just made up the story?

The mainstream media is in a very sad state of affairs if we have to question big news sources that we have trusted for years. But then, that’s why we all use the term “Fake News” so freely.

Defund Police for Muslim Rule in Minneapolis?

  ,
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

Addressing the elephant in the room on Tuesday, Representative Steve Green R-MN., said that Antifa and Muslim organizations plan to “police Minneapolis under Muslim rule.”

Two weeks ago the Minneapolis City Council voted to abolish the city’s police force. So what does the city have in mind to replace current law enforcement?

Green has stated, “What you’re looking at, in my humble opinion, is communism moving into Minneapolis and St. Paul.”

Green went on to say that Antifa and Muslim organizations plan to “police Minneapolis under Muslim rule.”

The New York Times reported that “many have called for relying more on self-policing by the community, in the way attendees often do at events like music festivals, with the police stepping in only when a true emergency arises. Some cited as an example how, in the days after the killing of Mr. Floyd, teams made up of dozens of members of the American Indian Movement patrolled streets and directed traffic in the Little Earth housing community in Minneapolis.”

In 2016 Minneapolis Muslims in man-on-the-street interviews openly say that they preferred Islamic law over American law.

Sharia patrols are common in Germany, Britain, and even New York City.

In New York City there is a Muslim Community Patrol (MCP). They wear uniforms that closely resemble New York Police Department uniforms. They also drive cars that appear, at a glance, to look like NYPD cars.

They enforce the “fundamentals of the Sharia.”

Siraj Wahhaj, who is a Muslim leader said, “The mosques need protection and the MCP cars can help stop people who were not following the rules and regulations of the sharia, doing what they’re not supposed to be doing, but still doing it.”

A Muslim man with the MCP said, “Muslim women being out after dark, Muslim men hanging out in the corners doing dope, Muslims drinking liquor,” and enforcing, “basically, the fundamentals of the Sharia.”

If Muslims patrols are initiated in Minneapolis, they would probably perform in the same manner.

Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar’s 5th Congressional District is the jihad terror recruitment capital of the United States. Sharia law promotes waging war against and subjugate unbelievers so, it isn’t likely to be a priority to stop young Muslim men who engage in jihad activities.

Islam historically has never had any difficulty coexisting with authoritarian governments and can coexist with Antifa enforcers.

Minnesota state Democratic Representative, Mohamud Noor of Minneapolis, didn’t repute Green’s statements.

Noor has said that rather than talk about things that inflame people and create division, Minnesota needs to address the challenge before it.

He said, “Talk of Antifa/Islamic rule in Minneapolis might “inflame people,” so keep quiet. Keep quiet, that is, if you oppose such an eventuality, not if you favor it.”

Noor went on to say, “Minnesota is awake. They understand the challenges; they have been hearing the challenges for far too long. And we can’t wait any longer.”

Green seems to have hit the nail on the head and it appears that things are moving along in the direction he has stated.

How many Democratic cities will eventually have Muslim policing? How long will it take before the Muslim policing increases and infiltrates the Christian and Jewish communities?

Folks, the numbers of Muslims in America has grown. The numbers of Muslims in government is staggering.

I wrote an article that names all the Muslim members in U.S. government.

Here is the link if you are interested in seeing:

The Islamification of America

I call on all Conservative Americans to vote in droves on November 3rd. Vote for Republican candidates. Vote out the Democrats and Muslims.

Vote RED down the line and save American values.

Stay free! Keep America Great! #Trump2020!

What Did Biden Cancer Nonprofit Spend Millions On?

 
Leave a comment

by Daveda Gruber:

Former Vice President and the presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden has a cancer charity called the Biden Cancer Initiative and not very much money goes toward eradicating cancer.

The nonprofit organization, which was founded in 2017, spent close to two thirds of the money it has raised toward staff compensation and six-figure salaries for top executives.

Biden created several nonprofits after his Vice Presidency ended. Salaries encompass nearly 65 percent of its total expenditures.

Charity watchdogs recommend that nonprofits spend 25 percent on administrative overhead and fundraising costs combined.

Biden charities spend far more than what is recommended.

Tax forms from 2017 and 2018 show that the Biden Cancer Initiative raised and then spent $4,8 million. More than $3 million of that amount went to salaries, compensation, and benefits.

A mere $1.7 million was spent on all of its other expenses of which $740,000 went to conferences, conventions and meetings.

Charity Navigator, which does analysis of nonprofits, rates charities for effectiveness. They found that mid-to-large-sized nonprofits paid their chief executives an average salary of $126,000 per year. They rate charities well that spend at least 75% of their expenses directly on their programs.

The Biden Cancer Initiative paid its president, Greg Simon, $224,539 in 2017 and $429,850 in 2018.

Put all the number together and eyebrows get raised. Has the Biden cancer charity let associates profit off their access to him?

His cancer charity sure didn’t cure cancer nor did it cut a single grant to any other group or foundation during the two years but some people made rather large salaries.
