John Brennan Pushes Conspiracy Theory: Mueller Report Proves Russia Collusion

Former CIA Director John Brennan on Tuesday falsely claimed special counsel Robert Mueller’s report actually further proves Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia worked together during the 2016 presidential election.

“I subsequently learned from the Mueller report that there was a lot more evidence of collusion and obstruction of justice than was indicated in the misleading & highly politicized Barr memo. Your obvious fear of Congressional action is warranted & your dishonesty is appalling,” Brennan said in response to President Trump posting an embarrassing quote from the longtime Deep Stater. Trump quoted Brennan admitting that Trump-Russia conspiracies were much bigger in his own mind than in reality — “I don’t know if I received bad information, but I think I suspected there was more than there actually was” — one day after Attorney General William Barr told Congress that the special counsel did not uncover evidence of cooperation between the Trump campaign and Russia. Further, Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who once reportedly volunteered to wear a wire in meeting with President Trump, determined that the president did not obstruct justice in relation to the Mueller probe.

“I don’t know if I received bad information, but I think I suspected there was more than there actually was,” the former CIA chief told MSNBC’s Morning Joe of Mueller’s findings. “I am relieved that it’s been determined there was not a criminal conspiracy with the Russian government over our election,” he added. “I think that is good news for the country.”

Brennan’s most recent remarks on Spygate come after he contended there is “ample evidence to justify” the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign. “I was there in the summer of ’16 and it was very well predicated,” the former intelligence official told MSNBC’s Deadline host Nicole Wallace. “To launch this counterintelligence investigation about what the Russians were doing to interfere in our election and how among American citizens might have been working with them.”

Meanwhile, as Fox News reported, a dispute has erupted over whether fired FBI Director James Comey or Brennan pushed for the faulty Steele dossier to be included in the intelligence community assessment regarding Russian meddling. In a recent interview with the Fox News Channel, former House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC) suggested: “Whoever is looking into this, tell them to look into emails” between Comey and Brennan from December 2016.

However, in a statement to Fox News, an unnamed former CIA official fingered the former FBI chief as the culprit. “Former Director Brennan, along with former [Director of National Intelligence] James Clapper, are the ones who opposed James Comey’s recommendation that the Steele Dossier be included in the intelligence report,” said the official.

Report: Migrants’ Remittances Drain $150 Billion a Year from Economy

Legal and illegal migrants send $150 billion in untaxed funds back to their homelands each year, denying the remittances to Americans and their communities, according to a Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) report.

The United States’s “generous and lax immigration policies have led billions of dollars to flow out of our economy untaxed, which is a disservice to Americans,” said a statement FAIR President Dan Stein made about the remittances. “When our country urgently needs tax revenue to improve physical and societal infrastructure programs, it’s imperative to address this drain on our resources immediately.”

The exported funds should be taxed, partly because a tax would help reduce the amount of exported funds, said FAIR’s report: It is bad enough that American taxpayers are being asked to provide welfare for foreign nationals in the United States. It only adds insult to injury when our state, local and federal governments allow income that could be taxed to reduce some of the costs associated with unchecked mass migration (both legal and illegal) to simply flow out of the U.S. economy and into foreign pockets.

The funds come from the roughly 45 million foreign-born legal immigrants and illegal migrants who are living alongside 280 million Americans. The migrants come from various countries, including Mexico, China, and India.

The immigrant and migrants are under family pressure to support their relatives living at home, where U.S. dollars have a high value. The report said: American dollars are generally worth significantly more than the local currency in developing countries. For example, according to 2017 data, the average hourly wage in India is about 61.9 Rupees, or roughly $0.90. That means that a U.S.-based relative can provide an Indian citizen with one month’s wages by remitting roughly $150 per month. A slightly larger remittance of $250-$500 per month can support an extended Indian family in a comparatively luxurious style.

But the exported funds are lost to local American retailers, employees, and governments, the report said: Rather than being used to purchase goods and services [locally] in the United States, the majority of remittance monies go directly into the pockets of foreign businesses. A smaller portion of remittance payments indirectly wind up in the coffers of foreign governments through duties imposed upon the cash transfer itself or taxes on the goods and services purchased with that cash. The money sent abroad is typically disposable income (that would often be spent on small luxuries) … When immigrants remit portions of their income to other countries, it places more pressure on the local jurisdictions in the states where they reside to make up that lost revenue elsewhere. This often results in higher overall taxation rates. Furthermore, local businesses suffer because those who send remittance payments abroad typically end up with less disposable income. Money sent to other countries means less money to spend on goods and services in the communities where foreign-born individuals live.

Report: Man Arrested on Terror Charges After Discussing Bombing Trump Tower

A New Jersey man is under arrest on terror charges after holding discussions about bombing Trump Tower and New York City’s Israeli Consulate, according to NBC 4 report, citing law enforcement sources. The suspect, 20-year-old Jonathan Xie of Basking Ridge, was taken into police custody Wednesday morning on charges stemming from attempting to provide material support to a designated terror group, making a threat of interstate commerce, and making false statements. NBC 4 further reports the man made false statements to enlist in the U.S. military and transferred funds overseas to aid Hamas terrorists. Xie is said to have also issued a series of threats to “pro-Israel” organizations in the U.S.

Prosecutors say he went as far as completing a Security Clearance Application for National Security Positions in February and answered “no” to the question “Have you ever associated with anyone involved in activities to further terrorism.” An error occurred in the application processing and he had to do it again 10 days later. Again, he answered no to that question. […] Last month, FBI surveillance saw Xie outside Trump Tower in Manhattan. Shortly thereafter, according to Instagram records, he posted two photos to his account, one with the words “[S]hould I bomb Trump Tower,” a “Yes/No” poll and an emoji of a bomb imposed over the Trump Tower building image.

In a follow-up post, criminal complaint records say the suspect then posted on Instagram, writing: “Okay, so I went to NYC today and passed by Trump Tower and then I started laughing hysterically . . . s*** I forgot to visit the Israeli embassy in NYC … i want to bomb this place along with trump tower.” He is scheduled to appear in federal court in Newark in the coming hours, law enforcement sources told NBC 4.

One thing that bugs me about this is that, there is no link to an instagram account. I find this interesting because, usually this kind of information is provided to validate the story…weird why it wouldn't exist in this instance.

TPUSA Activist and Illegal Alien on Turning Conservative: I Realized I Was the Problem

Turning Point USA activist Sergio Eduardo Velasquez appeared on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily, Wednesday, for the weekly TPUSA campus report segment. Velasquez, a student at Cal State Los Angeles, discussed his turn from the political left to becoming a conservative, despite being an illegal alien.

TPUSA activist Sergio Eduardo Velasquez appeared on Breitbart News Daily recently to speak with host and Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow about his personal experiences as both a young conservative activist and an illegal immigrant. Velasquez discussed how he became a political activist for Turning Point USA.

“In 2016, I supported Bernie Sanders,” he said. “I fell into your typical leftist stereotype. I was self-entitled. I believed that more government was the answer to everything. I chanted racism. I failed to look at myself in the mirror and failed to consider that if there was an issue it might be not that society was the problem, but that I myself was the problem.” Velasquez continued, “I think part of being a conservative, part of realizing that essentially conservatism is the way to go, a lot of it was growing up.”

Breitbart News Today host Alex Marlow then asked Velasquez about his personal experiences as an illegal immigrant stating. “So let’s talk about you not just becoming right of center but ultimately becoming an activist particularly with your history because you would be someone who’s part of the group who is the dreamers, the DACA recipients,” Marlow said. “I assume you don’t know another home,” Marlow continued. “But at least one of your parents was not here legally — so this is your home as far as you know, though your status as an immigrant is not a legal status aside from this DACA protection, but still Trump resonates with you, why?”

Velasquez replied, “Well first of all, I think that part of it is, it goes back to realizing that it’s one of those things where you have to realize you’re the problem. I have no problem with saying I’m an illegal immigrant, the term doesn’t offend me. And the thing is, I can recognize that illegal immigration is not a good thing. I can recognize that legal immigrants have to come first. America is a sovereign country. You don’t barge into someone’s home and tell them, ‘Okay, I’m here to stay give me free stuff.'” Velasquez continued, “Immigrants in general, we’re guests, I like to tell people that illegal immigrants, legal immigrants, no one’s entitled to everything. Immigrants owe absolutely everything they have to this country, and we need to stop this nonsense of entitlement.”

Republican Wins House Seat in Pennsylvania Special Election

Republican Fred Keller won the special election in Pennsylvania to fill a House of Representatives seat that has been vacant for four months. Keller secured 68 percent of the vote to defeat Democrat Marc Friedenberg. Republican Tom Marino vacated the seat in January. Keller will serve the rest of Marino’s term, which ends in 2021.

“I’m honored to have the support of the hardworking people of the 12th Congressional District and for their trust in electing me to represent them in Congress,” Keller said in a statement. “Tonight is the beginning of us working together to address the issues that the people have told us will positively impact every family across central and northeast Pennsylvania.” President Donald Trump held a rally in Pennsylvania ahead of the election to support Keller. Trump received 66 percent of the vote in the state in 2016. “Great news for Republicans: Fred Keller has just won the hard fought for Pennsylvania Congressional contest in a LANDSLIDE, over 70% of the vote,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Thanks to the thousands who showed up for the Rally last night. Congratulations to Fred and his wonderful family!”

Keller had served as a state representative in Pennsylvania since 2010. Prior to public service, he worked as a plant manager at a custom wood cabinets manufacturing facility, managing 230 employees and a $50 million annual budget. Keller is active in the community, having served on a parents council for a local high school and as an auditor for a local township. He has a wife and two children. In a campaign ad, Keller targeted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, saying that “Pennsylvania’s families don’t want her socialist policies and government overreach.” '''“[Pennsylvania] voters left no doubt last night. Freedom Socialism,” House Republican leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) wrote on Twitter.'''

Democrats won the majority in the House of Representatives during the 2018 midterm election. With Keller, the Democrat–Republican breakdown will shift to 235–190 in the House. Two more seats are vacant. “Fred Keller ran a great campaign and talked about his support for ideas that all Americans can get behind: a better economy, more jobs, and getting government out of the way,” Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Val DiGiorgio said in a statement. “As he now heads to Congress, we look forward to supporting Fred and the entire Pennsylvania Republican Congressional delegation as they work to implement the pro-growth policies that have kept this economy booming, support President Trump, and represent Pennsylvania’s interests in Washington,” DiGiorgio added.

Keller is a member of the National Rifle Association. Trump cast him as a defender of the Second Amendment during the rally on May 20. “But we have a man who’s a special man, he’s a successful businessman and owner,” Trump said. “He believes in protecting the border, defending our Second Amendment. He’s not letting anything happen to your Second Amendment. And you know what? If we aren’t smart it’ll end for you with the Second Amendment.”
