Trump Slams Paul Ryan After 'American Carnage' Excerpts

President Donald Trump unloaded on Republican former House Speaker Paul Ryan, taking to Twitter to call him a "lame duck failure."

Ryan is very critical of Trump in the book "American Carnage," by Tim Alberta of Politico, in excerpts running in various publications. Alberta wrote the former speaker, who retired from Congress in 2018, could not stand the idea of another two years with the president and saw retirement as the "escape hatch," according to The Washington Post. Ryan is quoted saying: "I'm telling you, he didn't know anything about government. I wanted to scold him all the time."

Trump tweeted late Thursday: "He had the Majority & blew it away with his poor leadership and bad timing. Never knew how to go after the Dems like they go after us. Couldn't get him out of Congress fast enough!"

Russia, China, Iran & Venezuela developing crypto to challenge US financial control – study

A new report by the American Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) says the US’ geopolitical adversaries are deploying blockchain technology to help avoid sanctions and counter US financial power.

According to the FDD, with the increase of adoption of cryptocurrencies around the world, efforts are underway to build new systems for transferring value that work outside of conventional banking infrastructure.

Governments in Russia, China, Iran, and Venezuela are experimenting with the technology that underpins the crypto market, said the report. They are prioritizing blockchain technology as a “key component of their efforts to counter US financial power

Russia, Iran, and Venezuela have initiated blockchain technology experiments that their leaders paint as tools to offset US financial coercive power and increase sanctions resistance. China is also wary of US financial power and the ever-present threat of sanctions against Chinese officials,” the study finds.

The efforts of the four nations go beyond mere sanctions evasion, according to the report, which said that they “seek to reduce the potency of unilateral and multilateral sanctions by developing alternative payment systems for global commerce.”

EXCLUSIVE: Bill Clinton Caught in Another Big Epstein Lie – Their Early Flights Were Not for Clinton Foundation

Former President Bill Clinton broke his silence on Monday and released a panicked statement on billionaire sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. He lied and now we know, he lied again!

Florida billionaire Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on Saturday in New York for sex trafficking of minors.

Prosecutors unsealed an indictment against Jeffrey Epstein on Monday. The court accused Epstein of sexually abusing dozens of young girls for years at one of the biggest mansions in Manhattan, paying them hundreds of dollars in cash for each encounter and hundreds more if they could recruit other victims.

The fake news media immediately ignored Epstein’s connection to Bill Clinton but in reality, the Clintons partied with Epstein while Donald Trump had him kicked out of Mar-a-Lago for hitting on a teenage girl.

In Bill Clinton’s statement Monday he claimed he “knows nothing about terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida.”

Clinton admitted to taking a total of four trips on Epstein’s airplane and also admitted to visiting Epstein’s apartment in New York. This has already been debunked as a lie! The former President flew 27 times to Orgy Island and most every time his flights carried under age girls!

CNNer, Playboy Reporter Brian Karem Who Tangled with Sebastian Gorka Should Be Banned from the White House for Insulting, Heckling and Threatening Guests of the President of the United States

Playboy White House reporter and CNN contributor Brian Karem crossed a line at the White House Thursday, going from reporter to partisan heckler and goon when he insulted, heckled and threatened guests of President Trump at a White House Rose Garden event and should therefore be banned from covering the White House and his hard pass pulled.

Democrats Driving Agenda 21/Smart Growth Legislation

The Complete Streets Act being promoted in the Senate and House is straight out of the UN’s playbook for implementing Sustainable Development. Complete Streets is an initiative of Smart Grown America

Note: The UN Agenda 21 has been heavily promoted by both Democrats and Republicans since 1992. Note Nancy Pelosi’s 1993 speech on the House floor.

U.S. Sen. Edward Markey, D-MA, and Rep. Steve Cohen, D-TN, introduced the Complete Streets Act Wednesday in Congress, a federal law to promote safer street design. The bill would require states to set aside 5% of federal highway funding for a grant program that would fund Complete Streets projects.

The legislation would allow eligible local and regional entities to apply for technical assistance and capital funding to build projects, such as sidewalks, bike lanes, crosswalks and bus stops. It has already received statements of support from ride-hailing companies Lyft, Uber and Via, as well as the National Complete Streets Coalition (NCSC), a Smart Growth America program that advocates for Complete Streets.

To push for Congress’ approval, NCSC separately released an addendum to its “Dangerous by Design 2019” report, which ranks states and cities on the dangers faced by pedestrians. The addendum segments pedestrian fatalities by Congressional district in both absolute numbers and by rate per 100,000 people. Arizona’s 7th Congressional District, represented by Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego, topped that ranking. Gallego is a co-sponsor of the bill in the House.

Mission Impossible: Getting Rid Of Chinese Security Cameras

Even the most sensitive Government offices are blanketed with security cameras made in China, and the task of removing them is next to impossible. China’s Technocracy is comparable to the Borg race in the Star Trek series: “We will assimilate!” ⁃ TN Editor

U.S. federal agencies have five weeks to rip out Chinese-made surveillance cameras in order to comply with a ban imposed by Congress last year in an effort to thwart the threat of spying from Beijing.

But thousands of the devices are still in place and chances are most won’t be removed before the Aug. 13 deadline. A complex web of supply chain logistics and licensing agreements make it almost impossible to know whether a security camera is actually made in China or contains components that would violate U.S. rules.

The National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, which outlines the budget and spending for the Defense Department each year, included an amendment for fiscal 2019 that would ensure federal agencies do not purchase Chinese-made surveillance cameras. The amendment singles out Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co. and Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co., both of which have raised security concerns with the U.S. government and surveillance industry.

Acosta’s Standing in White House Was Eroding Even Before Epstein

Labor Secretary Alex Acosta’s standing in the Trump administration was in peril even before the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein cast a fresh spotlight on the former prosecutor’s role in a decade-old plea deal for the financier, according to several people familiar with the matter.

Corporate lobbyists and some White House officials have grown frustrated that Acosta hasn’t moved fast enough on deregulation and other business-friendly initiatives, the people said. No decision has been made on Acosta’s future in the administration, they added, though two people said that his time is short.
