The specter of McCain still haunts

…though Halloween is weeks away

Kurt Volker recently resigned as U.S. envoy to Ukraine. He previously served as ambassador to NATO under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Volker joined the Trump State Department in 2017 when he was appointed by then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. Since then, Volker, never considered a Trump insider, has been “mediating” the Ukrainian crisis on behalf of the United States. The Daily Caller has more here. The White House released the declassified and un-redacted transcript of President Donald Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that became the center of a so-called whistleblower complaint.

We don’t claim to be experts on intrigue associated with international relations. But Kurt Volker’s name is associated with the McCain Institute for International Leadership on the grounds of Arizona State University and also in DC, raising the curiosity antenna more than a few notches. One of its “guiding objectives” is self promotion: grandiosely stated as “Promote and preserve the McCain family legacy of character-driven leadership and national service.”

Kurt Volker, scheduled to testify to congress Thursday, is drawing a salary of $330,000 as executive director of the McCain Institute, which receives funding from George Soros and a DC lobbying firm working for Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, among others. Scroll down to the BGR Group and read the paragraph under the photo of Volker.

Where there’s been a McCain connection, Socialist one-worlder, multi-billionaire George Soros is never far away as SRAZ has previously pointed out:

Pres. Trump keeps loyal base, despite Dem assault

Rasmussen Reports Friday survey of likely voters holds good news for President Donald Trump and his legions of supporters. The mélange of data is headlined, Voters See Trump’s Reelection Far More Likely Than Impeachment.

Although the pollsters concluded, “Voters think President Trump has more to lose in the growing Ukraine controversy than leading Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden, they still see Trump’s reelection as a surer shot than impeachment.”

Seeing Red AZ attributes those views to the lack of mainstream media coverage of the nefarious and extraordinarily lucrative China and Ukrainian dealings surrounding Hunter Biden and gaffe-prone, deceptive, increasingly unhealthy and unable to keep his dentures in his mouth Papa Joe who paved his unqualified son’s way for a $1.5 Billion private equity deal with the Bank of China that remains unprecedented in the investment world. The “B” is not a typo.

Breitbart’s Joshua Caplan exposes the China deal. The same news agency’s Robert Kraychik reveals the muzzle the Washington Post and its leftist news cohorts have placed on any reports of the China and Ukraine scandals involving Hunter Biden. Suppression of news is how the leftist media dominate their readers. Knowledge is power and mental manipulation must exist in a vacuum.

Conservatives have a lot to digest, but we understand the underhanded dealings because we are not spoon fed political pap and robotically fall in line on election day. Rising against the leftist tide, we voted to “Make America Great Again.” In 2022 we’ll be voting to “Keep America Great.”

AZ GOP Chair Dr. Kelli Ward provides important information in the 2019 Precinct Committeeman Handbook.

Get involved. Become a Precinct Committeeman. President Trump can’t do it alone. He needs us as much as we need him.

September 11, 2001: US Schools ignore facts

Eighteen years ago today, 2,973 people were murdered by 19 Muslim fundamentalist Al-Qaeda terrorists who commandeered commercial airliners and flew two of them into the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York City and another into the Pentagon — transforming passenger jets loaded with fuel for transcontinental flights from the east to west coasts, into guided missiles. The death toll includes 40 passengers and crew members aboard the fourth hijacked plane, United 93, which crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, as courageous passengers rushed the cockpit in an attempt to wrest control from the terrorists.

Along with our American citizens, people from 90 other countries were killed in the attacks perpetrated against non-combatants by Islamo-fascist extremists. Many of the murderers, who boarded the flights armed with box cutters and knives, were in the U.S. on expired student visas and had taken commercial flying lessons, some in Arizona flight schools.

On the anniversary of this previously unimaginable atrocity perpetrated against America on our own soil, we can no longer repeat the words, “We will never forget.”

Why?

American schools have deemed the facts concerning the raw evil too politically incorrect, devoting scant time to teaching the truth. American youth can’t forget, because they have little to no knowledge regarding the carnage. As far back as 2011, just ten years after the worst mass murder and destruction on our nation, Education Week, a publication for the teaching establishment, headlined its top story, “Majority of States’ Standards Don’t Mention 9/11.”

Salon, the radically left-wing site takes this view: “We’ve learned, for instance, about the attack’s mechanics — we know which particular terrorists orchestrated it and how many lives those mass murderers tragically destroyed. We also know about 9/11’s long-term legacy — we have healthcare data showing that it created a kind of mass post-traumatic stress disorder, and we have evidence that it generated a significant rise in anti-Muslim bigotry. And, of course, we’ve learned that our government can turn catastrophes like 9/11 into political weapons that successfully coerce America into supporting wars and relinquishing civil liberties.”

Imagine that perspective prevailing after the December 7, 1941 unprovoked Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, which decimated the US Pacific Fleet.

More than 2,400 Americans were killed and nearly 1,180 injured when stealth Japanese fighters bombed and sank 12 naval vessels and heavily damaged nine others.

The vicious attack is rightfully still commemorated. Pres. Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, referred to the sneak attack as, “A date which will live in infamy,” as he addressed congress regarding the declaration of war.

Philosopher George Santayana is renown for saying, “Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat It.” He also said, “A child educated only at school is an uneducated child.” His words are more true than ever in the current political climate where the teaching establishment is run by leftist unions, whose members admittedly engage in propagandizing rather than teaching.

Educrats reveal full-blown Socialist creds

These are the people influencing American students

Unionist teachers are the ones who left pupils in the lurch, abandoning more than 840,000 Arizona students for over a week in 2018 as they protested for 20% pay increases for their part-time jobs. It was not by happenstance were led on their escapade by a 24-year-old, self-described Socialist, uncredentialed hip-hop music teacher.

Recently, the Chicago Tribune reported on a delegation of Chicago teachers who traveled to Socialist-led Venezuela in solidarity with the United Socialist Party government of Nicolas Maduro. The New York Post also regarded this lunacy as newsworthy. Breitbart News gave it prominence. The leftist Arizona Republic didn’t regard it as worthy of coverage. 

The fact that the citizens of Venezuela are enduring devastating hardships resulting from a hyperinflationary economic collapse is of no consequence to these teachers, who funded their trips by begging on a Go Fund Me page.

The harsh realities of Socialism describes the unimaginable conditions the people in the oil rich nation are enduring under the repressive regime.

The brainless Chicago teachers traveled to the ravaged South American nation seeking “inspiration,” while bashing the U.S. government and heaping praise on the repressive Marxist boot on the collective neck of Venezuelans.

These particular teachers are Chicago residents, but their counterparts teach in Arizona and every other state across our nation. They overtly influence American students from kindergarten through college.

The Washington Times reports on a study showing Democrat professors at leading U.S. colleges outnumber Republicans 10 to I. This is the result:

 

 

Pres. Trump to challenge birthright citizenship

In an unprecedented move, the sham of “birth tourism” is also being targeted

What do Barbados, Cuba, Dominica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Fiji, Guatemala, Honduras, Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago have in common with the United States? Not much, except they are among the 30 countries that offer birthright citizenship to anyone born to parents who are in those counties, legally or not.  Exceptions are foreign diplomats and wartime enemies.

Citizens of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras are those who have been caravanning by the hundreds of thousands, illegally invading the United States, which brings disrepute to their laissez-faire policies. No one wants in and their citizens want out.

President Trump’s announced on Tuesday that he is preparing an executive order to end birthright citizenship. His action will face legal challenges, but he stands on solid ground.

These nations repealed Birthright Citizenship in recent years:  Australia (2007), New Zealand (2005), Ireland (2005), France (1993), India (1987), Malta (1989), United Kingdom (1983), and Portugal (1981). Numbers USA has the complete list.

Here in the United States our policy regarding citizenship is found in the Fourteenth Amendment, enacted following the Civil War in 1868. Its honorable intent was to provide citizenship to freed African-born slaves and their American-born children.

Hans A. von Spakovsky a Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation and a former Justice Department official addresses the issue in this clarifying article, “Birthright Citizenship — A Fundamental Misunderstanding of the 14th Amendment.”

He writes that American Indians and their children did not become citizens until Congress passed the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, clarifying that citizenship by birth was not automatically conferred. Integral to the Fourteen Amendment are the key words, “a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Those in the United states illegally do not meet that threshold, since they are subject to the laws of their own counties.

President Trump, noting that congress has failed to act, has also announced that he is taking action to close the loopholes fueling the crisis on our border, Read his complete statement.

The following statistics are included in his fact sheet:

The number of family unit aliens apprehended at the southern border has skyrocketed in recent years.

Family unit apprehensions have spiked from just 14,855 in fiscal year (FY) 2013 to 432,838 so far this FY – an increase of more than 2,800 percent.

More than 430,000 family unit aliens have been apprehended at the southern border so far in FY 2019 – a more than 300 percent jump from all of last FY.

There have been more family unit aliens apprehended at the southern border in the last three months – 184,000 – than all of last FY.

Not only is President Trump addressing birthright citizenship, he has begun unprecedented crackdowns on “birth tourism,” where thousands of affluent pregnant foreign women travel to the United States to give birth ensuring American citizenship for their children. They pay $multi-thousands to brokers who arrange their travel documents, accommodations, entertainment, shopping sprees and hospital stays.

SRAZ has addressed the widespread practice for nearly a decade:

2010: “Anchor babies and “birth tourism” making the news.”

2012: “Birth tourism alive and well.”

2013:  “Illegal immigration: The missing components.”

2018:  “Pres. Trump takes aim at Birthright Citizenship.”

 

Associated Press out of the BDS anti-Israel closet

This deceptive Associated Press headline, “Israel bans entry to outspoken US congresswomen,” should have read, “Israel bans entry to virulently anti-Semitic US congresswomen.”  The intentionally misleading word parsing clearly displays the media’s skewed bent, which it no longer attempts to conceal.

Far-left freshmen Democrats Reps. Rashida Tlaib (MI) and Ilhan Omar (MN), both Muslim members of congress, support the Palestinian-led BDS movement which advocates boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israeli businesses, products, universities and cultural institutions.

National Review recently headlined its revealing report: “Omar to Introduce Resolution Declaring Support for Anti-Israel BDS Movement.” On Thursday Omar ludicrously accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of imposing a “Muslim ban,” declaring, “It is an affront that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, under pressure from President Trump, would deny entry to representatives of the U.S. government.”

Arizona Sen. Martha McSally, who prior to retiring from the Air Force as a full Colonel, was deployed in the Middle East and supports President Trump’s resolve on the issue.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who said his country is “open to critics and criticism,” noted that Tlaib and Omar’s itinerary for the trip “revealed that they planned a visit whose sole objective is to strengthen the boycott against us and deny Israel’s legitimacy.”

Omar, who PJ Media reported engaged in a marriage with her own brother to perpetrate immigration and student loan fraud, irrationally stated, “Trump’s Muslim ban is what Israel is implementing, this time against two duly elected members of Congress.”

The women, members of what has been described as the congressional “Squad,” routinely refer to the sole democracy in the Middle East in the most derogatory of terms, and, for good measure, condemn President Trump. Omitted from their anti-Semitic tirade is the inconvenient fact that since the formation of the state of Israel in 1948, there have been Arabic members of the Knesset, the legislative body similar to the U.S. Congress. They have been Muslim, Druze, and Christian.

The U.S. ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, endorsed the decision to ban Tlaib and Omar, saying Israel “has every right to protect its borders” against promoters of boycotts.

Congress recently passed a resolution condemning BDS. Last night I was condemned by a US Congressman for “dual loyalty” — classic anti-Semitic charge — simply because I followed US policy by supporting Israel’s right to oppose BDS. My head is spinning from the hypocrisy.

Pro-Trump Miss Michigan stripped of title

Trump-hating Congressional radicals get a pass

If you need proof of double standards and political correctness run amok, look no further than Miss Michigan Kathy Zhu the state’s entry in the Miss World competition. Zhu, 20, a University of Michigan student was informed of her ouster after pageant officials deemed the content of her twitter account, “offensive, insensitive and inappropriate.”

The China-born beauty, studying political science, is also a supporter of President Trump, which no doubt lowers her in the esteem of pageant officials, school administrators and fellow students.

Last year while a freshman at the University of Central Florida and tweeting under the name Political Kathy, she posted this regarding a campus booth encouraging students to try on a hijab in celebration of World Hijab Day.

A member of the Muslim Student Association, working the booth, wrote, “Let’s get this girl expelled.” Though Zhu wasn’t expelled in Florida, the Michigan pageant officials got the job done on another level.

No such efforts are underway for radical leftist U.S. Reps.  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) who have embraced being identified as “The Squad.” They not only brazenly clash with their party’s leadership, but routinely express anti-American views and are openly anti-Semitic. As an example, in 2016 Ilhan Omar, a Somalian immigrant, asked a judge for leniency for nine men who tried to join ISIS terrorists and kill Americans. Just days ago she referred to President Trump as a “fascist” with no admonishment from Democrat leaders.

The Washington Times headlines this report, “Rep. Ilhan Omar vows to be ‘nightmare’ for Trump.”

Breitbart News exposes Reps. Omar and Tlaib introduction of H.R. 496, a resolution aimed at supporting the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, targeting Israel, the Middle East’s only democracy. They preposterously likened the hateful bill to the Boston Tea Party and the Montgomery bus boycott. Most offensive of all is the fact that they get away with it.
