COMEY FREAKS! Lashes out at Attorney General Bill Barr, President Trump After Spying and TREASON Accusations

On Friday Attorney General Bill Barr sat down for his first television interview since taking over as Attorney General.

Attorney General Barr told FOX News host Bill Hemmer he is having trouble getting answers about the departments spying on the Trump campaign. Barr added that it is a very unusual situation using opposition research to conduct counter intelligence.

Also on Friday President Trump put the Spygate coup plotters on notice.

The President was very actively tweeting Friday morning and invoked one of his 2016 campaign war cries, “DRAIN THE SWAMP!” and then warning the fired FBI Director, “What happened is that Donald Trump won. Down goes Comey.”

And then President Trump tweeted a threat to the coup plotters! Trump warned the Obama deep state criminals that TREASON is a crime!

Netanyahu lied to you about Iraq’s non-existent nuclear weapons in 2002. Don’t let him lie you into another disastrous war against Iran in 2019

Benjamin Netanyahu speaking to House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on September 12 2002.

Remember when he comically used a loony toons bomb to scare everyone about Iran?

The Regulatory-Industrial Complex

Socialists want socialism for everyone else, but capitalism for themselves, while capitalists want capitalism for everyone else, but socialism for themselves.

Neither Ted Kennedy nor Jane Fonda practices a vow of poverty, nor are they taking any homeless into their mansions, while too many big companies try to short-circuit the market with government privileges. And one way they do it is through the regulatory agencies that acne Washington, DC.

If I may make a public confession (counting on the charity of Mises Daily readers): I used to work for the US Congress. I’ve since gone straight, of course, but the experience had its value, much as the future criminologist might benefit from serving with the James Gang.

For one thing, being on Capitol Hill showed me that, unlike the republic of the Founding Fathers’ vision, our DC Leviathan exists only to extract money and power from the people for itself and the special interests.

Ludwig von Mises called this an inevitable “caste conflict.” There can be no natural class conflict in society, Mises showed, since the free market harmonizes all economic interests, but in a system of government-granted privileges, there must be a struggle between those who live off the government and the rest of us. It is a disguised struggle, of course, since truth threatens the loot.

When I worked on Capitol Hill, Jimmy Carter was bleating about the energy crisis and promising to punish big oil with a “windfall profits tax.” But I saw that the lobbyists pushing for the tax were from the big oil companies.

And, after a moment’s thought, it was easy to realize why. There was no windfall-profits tax in Saudi Arabia, but it did fall heavily on Oklahoma. And as intended, the tax aided the big companies that imported oil by punishing their competitors, smaller, independent firms.

In the ensuing restructuring of the industry, also brought about by the price and allocation regulations of the Department of Energy, the big firms bought up domestic capacity at fire-sale prices, and then the Reagan administration repealed the tax and the regulations. Meanwhile, the big companies received contracts from the Department of Energy to produce money-losing “alternative fuels.”

In every administration, the tools of inflation, borrowing, taxation, and regulation are used to transfer wealth from the people to the government and its cronies.

DAY 11: Hackers have shut down 21 Baltimore City Agencies

Hackers demanding an $80,000 USD ransom in Bitcoins have disabled 21 Baltimore City agencies, and many systems are still down despite several weeks of efforts by technicians to abate the hacks, The Baltimore Sun reports.

New Baltimore Mayor Bernard Young has remained steadfast on his promise not to pay a ransom to hackers even though the Robinhood ransomware continues to lock up a good portion of Baltimore’s servers.

At the time of writing, 911 services were still operational, but police emails were down.

Perhaps most worryingly, Baltimore health officials have reportedly confirmed that, “The text alert system that warns drug treatment providers and users in Baltimore about potentially deadly street drugs is offline because of the ransomware attack on city computers.”

There were 798 opioid-related deaths last year in Baltimore, and 2114 such deaths in the state of Maryland.

Baltimore home buyers are also losing out because computer systems administering a community incentive program for home buyers is not functioning, and people have been unable to close their deals.

“Even our fax machine is acting up. We’re handicapped all the way around,” said Michael Guye, Department of Housing and Community Development director of homeownership.

All told, 21 Baltimore civic agencies are having to work around the hack, including:

1. The Board of Elections: emails and website down.

1. Department of Finance: no processing of cash payments available; check and money orders only.

1. Baltimore’s library system: not affected by the cyber attack, but the library’s public computing system is being used part time by city agencies to access payroll systems for public employees.

1. Department of Public Works: late water bill fees for city and county customers have been suspended. Phones and emails disrupted.

1. Recreation and Parks: online payment, permits, program registration and service requests unavailable.

1. Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office: “employees were working offline as a precaution.”

1. Archives and Records Management: employees’ email addresses not working.

1. Office of Sustainability: can’t receive any emails or voicemails or share documents.

1. Department of Transportation: “The ransomware virus has disabled access to the parking fines database…(and) The department has created an interim process for allowing people to retrieve vehicles impounded…”

US schools could be forced to let biological males join girls' sports teams under House-passed bill

The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives has passed a bill that will force schools to allow biological males who identify as females to compete on women’s sports teams. What could go wrong?

“This radical bill is going to totally eliminate women’s and girls’ sports,” Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Arizona) warned in a Daily Signal op-ed, pointing out that the Equality Act, which passed the House 236-173 on Friday, would require not just schools but churches, nonprofits, and other institutions to allow biological males into women-only spaces like bathrooms and locker rooms, “even without any type of medical diagnosis or psychological diagnosis.”

The Equality Act enshrines “sexual orientation and gender identity” as a protected characteristic under the federal Civil Rights Act, which prohibits institutional discrimination – a measure that sounds uncontroversial enough, until its implications are fully digested.

A Chicago couple lives like Orthodox Jews — and preaches the word of Jesus

Two members of the Illinois Jewish community, who dress in religious garb, are outed as Christian missionaries. They don’t deny it, and don’t see a problem

JTA — A few months ago, a couple got involved in the Chicago Jewish community. Rivkah Weber and David Costello started attending an Orthodox synagogue in the West Ridge neighborhood. They looked and acted like Orthodox Jews: Weber covered her hair and wore long skirts, while Costello sported sidelocks and a kippah. The latter took a job at a kosher supermarket.

But on Wednesday, warnings started spreading on Jewish Facebook groups in Chicago and beyond saying the couple, the parents of two children, were actually Christian missionaries.

“[T]o answer the rumors, it is true that a couple moved into our community in the purpose of proselytizing … They are confirmed missionaries,” read one post, which contained photos of the couple dressed in traditional Orthodox garb.

Reached Friday by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, the couple said they do believe in Jesus and that one reason they had become involved in the Jewish community was to spread their beliefs.

“We want Jewish people to recognize Yeshua as Moshiach and as a Jewish Messiah,” Costello said in the phone interview, using the Hebrew words for Jesus and the Messiah.

Beware: A couple who have recently moved to a Jewish neighborhood in Chicago has been exposed to be Christians posing as Orthodox Jews, with the mission to influence others. https://t.co/iW5ccHy00W

He claims that he never hid his beliefs if asked and spoke with people in the community about them, but would not specify how many. Costello, who peppers his speech with Hebrew and Yiddish words, said the family is sincere in their observance of an Orthodox lifestyle.

“We actually keep the Torah and the mitzvahs,” he said. “We actually have an Orthodox life in our house and every day of our life, and they are saying that it’s simply to deceive and to bring Jewish people to believe in Jesus.”

On Thursday, JTA spoke with three rabbis who had interacted with the couple. None of the three agreed to have their names published.

“People feel betrayed,” said one rabbi, who leads a community in Chicago. “If you want to believe in something and sell it, that’s your business. But to come into a community and portray to be something you’re not, prey on people, unsuspecting, is unacceptable.”

On Tuesday, the rabbi said, a Brooklyn man who was visiting the city attended services at a local synagogue and recognized Costello. He had attended the man’s synagogue in New York for six months before congregants found out that he believed in Jesus and had ties to a missionary group.

The rabbi was informed of this and approached Costello the next day.

The Places in America with the Most Cases of Human Trafficking

Human trafficking is the crime of transporting a person from one country to another, usually for the purposes of sexual exploitation, and it’s much more common that one may know. Underlying much of the prostitution industry and illegal massage parlors is the horrible fact that many of the women supposedly working there are being held against their will.

Spotting when someone is being trafficked against their will is challenging, but increasingly airlines, hotels, and other industries are training their employees to spot when it’s happening and to alert authorities. Increasingly, flight attendants and hotel receptionists are helping to spot and rescue these victims.

Just how common is human trafficking in the United States and where is it taking place? Along with Priceonomics customer, Geoffrey Nathan Law Offices.com we analyzed data from The National Human Trafficking Hotline organization on the number of reports it receives each year and their location. While it’s important to recognize that only a small fraction of actual human trafficking cases get detected and reported, the data set provides a glimpse into the prevalence of the crime.

We found that reported human trafficking has been increasing over the last decade, though thankfully 2018 was first recent year that saw a decline. Reports of human trafficking is most prevalent in Washington DC, Nevada and Florida and least prevalent in New Hampshire, Idaho and Massachusetts. The US cities where human trafficking is most reported per capita are Washington DC, Atlanta, Orlando, and Las Vegas.

Not The Onion: Pentagon Wanted US Taxpayers To Reimburse Taliban

The Pentagon wanted to reimburse the Taliban for expenses the group incurred attending recent peace talks, according to the BBC, citing a US Congressional aide.

The request to cover the militants' costs such as transportation, lodging and food was ultimately denied by a Congressional committee, despite the Pentagon's request "to use funds to facilitate [the] meetings."

The funding requested by the Pentagon was intended to reimburse the group for costs incurred while participating in the talks, including supplies, food, accommodation and transportation, according to Kevin Spicer, spokesman for Representative Peter Visclosky of Indiana [D]. -BBC

"The Defense Department requested fiscal year 2020 funding to support certain reconciliation activities, including logistic support for members of the Taliban and, in March 2019, they sent a notification letter to the Committee on using fiscal year 2019 funds for similar activities," said the spokesman.

Visclosky chairs the House Appropriations defence subcommittee, which approved a $390.2 billion spending bill that specifically denies the Pentagon from reimbursing the expenses of the militants, as none of the funds may be used "to pay for the expenses of any member of the Taliban to participate in any meeting that does not include the participation of members of the Government of Afghanistan or that restricts the participation of women," reads the legislation.

According to the report, the language was included to avoid breaking laws concerning material support for terrorist groups, said Kevin Spicer, citing "the Taliban's ongoing offensive operations against US service members, and their continuing lack of acknowledgement of the government of Afghanistan or the rights of women in Afghan society."

The Pentagon says the funds were needed in order to negotiate ceasefires.

"Following the June 2018 ceasefire in Afghanistan, the Commander of U.S. Forces, Afghanistan requested the authority to use funds to facilitate meetings between the Afghan government and insurgent groups looking to implement local ceasefires in order to be poised to take advantage of further opportunities to reduce levels of violence in the country should such opportunities present themselves," said Pentagon spokeswoman Cdr. Rebecca Rebarich.

Retired FBI Agent Battles DOJ For McCabe’s Texts and Emails. As DOJ Fights FOIA Request

A retired FBI supervisory special agent filed a motion against the Department of Justice Friday for refusing a Freedom of Information Act Request to turn over text messages and emails related to former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. The texts and emails were related to McCabe’s involvement in the bureau’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server to conduct government business.

On Friday, the conservative government watchdog group Judicial Watch filed the motion in the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia on behalf of Jeffery Danik, a retired FBI supervisory special agent. Danik had originally filed a FOIA two years ago for McCabe’s texts and emails. The FBI attempted to get the FOIA lawsuit dismissed, sending the watchdog back to court to argue that the requested material is obtainable from the DOJ under FOIA. Danik served 28 years in the FBI.

“My lawsuit for McCabe’s texts isn’t just about his actions,” Danik told SaraACarter.com. “It’s about a new day dawning for FBI executives being held accountable.” Danik filed for McCabe’s documents prior to the DOJ’s Inspector General’s Office opening its own investigation into the bureau’s handling of the Clinton case.

What Danik Wants

Danik’s FOIA lawsuit is focused specifically on McCabe’s text messages and emails. The search terms are related to all of McCabe’s connections with Hillary Clinton and person’s known to have associated with both him and family members connected to the Clintons. Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit for any information containing the name of McCabe’s wife, “Dr. Jill McCabe,” “Jill.” Jill had unsuccessful campaign for the Virginia state senate in 2015, when she was urged by then Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe to run for office.
