Aussie PM Scott Morrison Backs ‘Straight Up’ Donald Trump: A Man of Faith

 

Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Thursday outlined the dynamics behind his warm relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump, saying he is a straight talker and a good friend who is open about his Christian faith.

 

Asked in a TV interview what he thinks of Trump, Morrison was quick to point out the positives of their relationship as a partnership between equals. As News.com reports, Morrison said:

 

It is my job to have very good relationships with all our key partners and allies. I have done that as have my predecessors. That is important, that is in Australia’s national interest.

 

That is what matters and keeps Australia safe, it protects Australia’s interests, particularly in this part of the world.

 

Pushed as to what he liked about Trump, Morrison said the United States had been a good friend to Australia for over a century and that was not about to change.

 

“He has been straight up with me, I can tell you that. He has… been straight up about our relationship and has shown a great interest in Australia,” he said.

 

The conservative coalition leader was also asked what he thought about Trump “using a Bible, church and religion as a PR stunt.”

 

“I don’t judge other people’s faith and I don’t invite them to judge mine,” Morrison said, flatly rejecting the premise of the question.

 

“I think faith is personal and I have always held that as a principle. I leave others to express their faith and how they conduct themselves, that is up to them.”

 

He said it was not his job to provide running political or other commentary on other leaders around the world.

 

“They don’t do it to us,” he affirmed.

Suspend Export of Riot Gear to U.S. During George Floyd Chaos, Says British Labour Party

 

The UK’s left-wing Labour Party has called on the government to suspend the sale of British-made riot gear to the United States, including teargas and crowd control equipment, during the ongoing riots in America over the death of George Floyd.

 

The fervently anti-Trump shadow international trade secretary for the Labour Party, Emily Thornberry, wrote to her Conservative counterpart, Liz Truss, saying that Britain should suspend the sale of the riot gear as a matter of “urgency”. She claimed that it would “be a disgrace” if the country were to support what she termed the “violent repression” of “peaceful protestors” by President Donald Trump.

 

“If British-made riot control equipment is being used to attack unarmed protesters and journalists in the US, those exports must immediately be stopped. We cannot be a party to the violence of the American President against his own people,” the left-wing MP said.

 

“I’m sure that you will agree that, at a time when Donald Trump is gearing up to use the US military to crush legitimate protests across America over the murder of Black civilians, it would be a disgrace for the UK to supply him with the arms and equipment he will use to do so,” Thornberry wrote to Truss.

 

“If this were any other leader, in any other country in the world, the suspension of any such exports is the least we could expect from the British government in response to their actions, and our historic alliance with the United States is no reason to shirk that responsibility now,” she concluded.

 

Labour MP Dawn Butler, who has in the past called for Britain to pay slavery reparations, said that she is organising a group of like-minded lawmakers to block the export of riot gear.

El Chapo’s Sons Threaten to Fracture the Sinaloa Cartel

 

An internal rift is underway between the two largest sects of the Sinaloa Cartel. The effects have the potential to be far-reaching into the organization’s global operations over the coming months. The primary agitators are the hyper-violent sons of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera, known as “Los Chapitos” against their senior, Ismael “El Mayo or Mayo” Zambada Garcia.

 

In early November 2019, the first confirmed conflict featured sicarios loyal to the Chapitos under the command of Nestor Isidro Perez Salas, aka “El Nini,” when they were denied access to land controlled by Mayo. Nini reports to Ivan Guzman, the eldest of Los Chapitos. The incident occurred in northern Culiacán, known as Agua Caliente. Days later, dead Sinaloa Cartel operatives began surfacing from both sides in Culiacan.

 

On December 3, gunmen surged into northern Culiacan, Agua Caliente, and Tepuche. The Mexican government was forced to close schools and businesses in the area. Nothing more serious happened than the display of forces from both sides.

 

Up to this point, a kind of cold war was occurring. All of that would change on March 6 when a man injured in a shootout in Loma de Rodriguera was taken to a local hospital. Rival gunmen broke into the emergency room and abducted him. They overwhelmed site security with gunfire. After leaving hospital grounds, military personnel intervened for a second shootout, though no one was hurt.

Ashton Kutcher Posts Video Tearfully Denouncing ‘All Lives Matter’

 

On Tuesday, actor Ashton Kutcher posted a video to Instagram declaring that the saying “All Lives Matter” is ignorant, outlining the preferential treatment he and his wife, actress Mila Kunis, give to their daughter over their son to explain his point.

“So, on Saturday, I posted a blackout of my social media channels, just posted ‘BLM’ (Black Lives Matter). And a lot of folks responded ‘All Lives Matter,’” Kutcher started the video. “And I want to talk about that a little bit because I don’t think that the people posting ‘All Lives Matter’ should be cancelled. I think they should be educated.”

“We all agree ‘all lives matter,'” he continued, “but I had a really pointed experience tonight when I was putting my kids down to bed that lent the words for why black lives matter.”

“Usually, Mila and I put our kids to bed, we read them a book, and our daughter always get to go first,” he said. “And tonight, as we were reading her book, my son says, ‘Wait, why don’t I get to go first?’ And Mila said ‘Because girls go first.’ And he said, ‘Yeah, but boys go first.’ And I looked at him and said, ‘No, girls go first. You know why girls go first? For you and me, girls go first. And the reason why is, for some boys, girls don’t get a go at all. And so for you and me, girls go first.'”

“So when it comes to ‘Black Lives Matter,’ I think what folks are writing ‘All Lives Matter’ need to understand is that for some people,” Kutcher said, breaking into tears, “for some people, black lives don’t matter at all.”

“So for us, black lives matter,” cried the actor. “So while you may have the best intentions in saying ‘All Lives Matter,’ remember … for some people, black lives don’t matter.”

The video was praised by some, but others felt the crying was insincere and the message was riddled with “white guilt nonsense.”

“This is epitome of intersectional nonsense. Plus the crocodile tears? Hollywood needs to go,” wrote Gina Florio, manager to Candace Owens and former media editor.

“My mentions are filled with white liberals defending this unhelpful white guilt nonsense,” reporter Yashar Ali said of the video. “Some of you are exhausting…maybe the black boxes weren’t such a bad idea after all.”

Kutcher is an anti-human trafficking activist and in 2019 posted a powerful pro-life video, though the actor is not publicly pro-life.

Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf: Feds Have Opened Up Investigations Going After ‘Leaders Of Antifa And Other Organizations’

 

Acting Department of Homeland Security Chad Wolf told Fox News on Wednesday night that federal law enforcement officials have opened cases up against leaders of Antifa and other organizations who are believed to be behind violent riots that are plaguing the nation’s inner cities.

When asked by Fox News host Bret Baier who was behind the violent riots, Wolf answered, “I think, overall, what we have seen as far as taking place, sort of boots on the ground in these metropolitan areas, are the groups like Antifa or anarchists in general.”

“And those are the types of people that we see. That’s the intel that we’re getting back, primarily moving these violent protests and these organizations in a certain way. It usually occurs after nightfall. So, during the day, we usually see the nonviolent protests occurring,” Wolf continued. “And then, when it gets to the night, we see the more violent protests starting to happen, criminals starting to take place, organized, loosely organized during the day to achieve a specific goal.”

“I think what we’re seeing right now, it’s loosely organized within a metropolitan city. Is it being organized across the country in an organized way? I don’t think that we see that yet. But, again, we’re continuing to analyze the intelligence and really getting the feedback from the state and local law enforcement officials in these individual cities,” Wolf continued. “So, we will continue to look at – we are partnering. We have a number of investigators at the department that are working with DOJ and working with FBI. We know that they have opened up a number of cases specifically targeting some of the leaders of Antifa and other organizations that are involved.”

Ex-CIA Agent Valerie Plame Lost Her Congressional Bid In The New Mexico Primary

 

Valerie Plame, the former CIA operative who was outed during the George W. Bush administration, has lost her bid to become a congresswoman after losing Tuesday night to attorney Teresa Leger Fernandez in the New Mexico Democratic primary.

Plame announced her candidacy in September 2019, The Daily Wire previously reported, in an attempt to fill a vacancy left by Rep. Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM), who decided to run for the Senate to replace Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM), who retired. Plame originally said she would run for Senate to replace Udall, but changed her mind for a congressional bid.

Plame used her fame from being outed in 2003 in an op-ed citing Bush administration officials to launch her candidacy. Her announcement video, however, was riddled with falsehoods, including her suggestions that she operated in Iran and North Korea and that Scooter Libby was responsible for her outing. Her opening ad also made it clear she was running because she had “a few scores to settle.”

Plame’s candidacy was plagued by accusations of racism and anti-Semitism. In 2017 – two years before announcing her candidacy – Plame resigned from her position on the board of Ploughshares Fund after retweeting an article blaming Jews for America’s wars, The Daily Wire’s Frank Camp previously reported. After a backlash, Plame defended her tweet, writing:

 

First of all, calm down. Re-tweets don’t imply endorsement. Yes, very provocative, but thoughtful. Many neocon hawks ARE Jewish. Just FYI, I am of Jewish decent. I am not in favor of war with Iran, or getting out of the Iran nuclear treaty. There are simply too many who are so ready to go to war. Haven’t we had enough for awhile? Read the entire article and try, just for a moment, to put aside your biases and think clearly.

 

The statement didn’t help, so Plame tweeted a second response before resigning:

 

OK folks, look, I messed up. I skimmed this piece, zeroed in on the neocon criticism, and shared it without seeing and considering the rest. … I’m not perfect and make mistakes. This was a doozy. All I can do is admit them, try to be better, and read more thoroughly next time. Ugh.

Barr: Evidence shows foreign actors, Antifa trying to 'hijack' George Floyd protests

 

Attorney General Bill Barr announced Thursday that investigations of recent violence spinning out of protests yielded evidence that not only are various "extremist" groups taking advantage of the unrest for their own ends, but that “foreign actors” are also getting involved.

 

After expressing deep sympathies over George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis police custody, Barr said at a press briefing that “three different sets of actors” are involved in the demonstrations – namely peaceful protesters, looters and “extremist agitators that hijack protests” to pursue various agendas.

 

Barr said that there is evidence that those extremists include Antifa and other groups of different political persuasions, as well as “foreign actors playing all sides to exacerbate the violence.”

 

FBI Director Christopher Wray elaborated on this, noting that "these individuals have set out to sow discord and upheaval."

 

This echoed what a senior Justice Department official told Fox News Wednesday about how the feds have seen signs of "very organized" coordination from "professional" agitators, some linked to Antifa. Barr made it clear Thursday that there was a "witches brew" of extremists with varying ideologies, including anarchists and those seeking to incite a civil war.

 

There have been more than 100 arrests in Washington as a result of the protests and riots related to the death of Floyd in Minneapolis, according to federal officials. Around 20 of those people were not charged. Meanwhile, 70 to 75 people have been charged with crimes such as assault, breaking and entering, destruction of property and other violations.

 

Barr said that the Justice Department has used real-time intelligence and other resources to quell the violence and that the government "will continue to investigate, to make arrests, and to prosecute[.]"

 

Addressing Floyd's death, Barr said that the Justice Department and FBI are "conducting a parallel investigation" to see if there were violations of federal civil rights laws.

 

"The day is coming soon," Barr said, "when justice will be served."

Top Dem Ally Pleads Guilty to Embezzlement

 

Ex-UAW president cops to corruption charges

 

Former United Auto Workers president Gary Jones, a top ally to Democrats at both the state and national levels, pleaded guilty to embezzlement on Wednesday.

 

Jones admitted to using more than $1 million in union funds on various extravagances, including clothing, golf outings and equipment, vacation rentals, liquor, fine dining, and premium cigars. The union—which is still under investigation after a federal probe began more than five years ago—endorsed presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden in April and has spent big backing Democrats in recent years.

 

In the 2018 cycle alone, the UAW's political action committee gave $200,000 to the Michigan Democratic Party and $68,000 to Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer's (D.) campaign. Disgraced former UAW vice president Norwood Jewell, who admitted to receiving illegal benefits from Fiat Chrysler executives, served as a party superdelegate in 2016 and remained listed as a party leader following his guilty plea. The union has also continued to support Whitmer through her controversial handling of the coronavirus pandemic, calling her a "leading voice" who has been at all times "inclusive and focused on building a consensus to do what is right for the health and safety of UAW members" in a May statement.

 

The union also gave $10,000 to Sen. Gary Peters (D., Mich.) prior to his election in 2014 and has since contributed $1,000,000 to Senate Majority PAC in the 2020 cycle, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Aligned with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.), the PAC launched an ad in March attacking Republican Senate hopeful John James, who has outraised the embattled Michigan Democrat for three consecutive quarters. UAW also gave $105,000 to Michigan Senate Victory 2020, a joint fundraising committee that supports both Peters and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

 

The PAC, Biden, Whitmer, and Peters did not respond to requests for comment.

 

Despite the ongoing investigation, both Peters and Biden praised the union as GM employees went on strike in September 2019. Nine UAW officials had already admitted to wrongdoing at the time, and former Region 5 director Vance Pearson attended negotiations with the auto giant just days before he was scheduled to attend a federal court hearing in Missouri. Pearson went on to plead guilty to embezzlement in February.

 

Michigan Republican Party chairwoman Laura Cox celebrated Jones's plea, accusing Democrats of turning a blind eye to the union's corruption for years.

LEFTIST RIOT PANDEMIC: 21 Courthouses Damaged, Lincoln Memorial Defaced, Korean War Memorial Defaced, WWII Monument Defaced, Tons of Trash in LA, Tens of Millions NYC Damage

 

It’s been quite a week for the leftist mob, Black Lives Matter rioters, far left looters, and cop killers.

 

The US Marshals Service today announced 21 Federal Court Buildings in 15 states were damaged and destroyed by the leftist rioters.

 

The Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial and World War II Memorial were all defaced by violent leftists this week.

 

In Los Angeles the leftist rioters left tons of trash, bricks for the city to clean up.

 

The looters and leftist rioters caused tens of millions in damage in New York City alone.

 

The New York Post reported:

 

New York City businesses have likely suffered tens of millions of dollars in damages and theft as a result of the rampant open looting and vandalism that exploded in the Big Apple over the last few nights – and some may never recover, experts told The Post Wednesday.

 

“I think it’s pretty safe to say it’s going to be in the tens of millions of dollars,” Nicole Gelinas, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, said of the financial and physical destruction to businesses citywide.

 

That estimate includes the expense of repairs as well as other facets like increased security and insurance costs, Gelinas explained, adding that the pilfered merchandise likely accounts for “several million dollars.”

 

Over the past three nights since Sunday, looters and vandals taking advantage of the mass protests in the Big Apple over the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd have plunged swaths of the city into chaos, hitting hard Midtown Manhattan, SoHo and parts of The Bronx.

 

Gelinas estimated there were likely “hundreds, if not thousands” of storefront windows smashed during the wild looting sprees around the five boroughs.

Emergency Order in West Palm Beach Bans Gun Sales and Carry

 

West Palm Beach, Fla., became the first city in the nation to ban the sale or carrying of firearms in city limits in an emergency declaration intended to address violent clashes between police and demonstrators.

 

The city issued a curfew order on Sunday that included a ban on gun sales and gun carry. It extended the order for 72 hours on Monday. The ban on gun and ammo sales includes no exceptions and the ban on gun carry only provides exceptions for on-duty police and military personnel.

 

The emergency ban comes in the wake of heated political debates and legal showdowns about local and state orders that have shut down gun businesses due to concerns about the coronavirus. West Palm Beach's ban extends beyond those shutdowns to stop even those with gun-carry permits from being able to legally carry firearms for protection during the emergency.

 

An employee at Guns & Range Training Center in West Palm Beach confirmed the store is currently closed down due to the order but did not comment further. The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the industry's trade group, said the order violates citizens' gun rights.

 

"This is unconscionable that the West Palm Beach mayor is denying the ability for law-abiding citizens of his city to exercise their Second Amendment rights during a time of unrest and widespread criminal activity," Mark Oliva, a spokesman for the group, told the Washington Free Beacon. "The Second Amendment was written exactly for these purposes, that citizens are afforded the ability to legally obtain arms and ammunition to defend themselves."

 

The West Palm Beach city government did not respond to a request for comment.

 

The city instituted the emergency order after protests over the killing of George Floyd, a black man, by a white Minneapolis police officer spread across the country, including to West Palm Beach. West Palm Beach has witnessed violent clashes between police and demonstrators, as well as looting at local businesses that resulted in the arrest of at least five people. Three men have now been charged with "inciting a riot," according to the Palm Beach Post.

 

Mayor Keith James defended the emergency measures during a press conference on Monday.

 

"Some have described that decision as idiotic. However, I stand by that decision. I believe it was the best decision given the facts that were presented to me by my trusted chief of police," he said.

 

Oliva viewed the decision differently and said the mayor's ban on gun sales and carry is irresponsible and potentially dangerous.

 

"The mayor knows his police are stretched thin and these protests quickly turn violent," he said. "Instead of enabling Floridians in his city to defend themselves, he is denying their fundamental rights, leaving them defenseless."

Army General in Germany Suspended Pending Investigation

 

STUTTGART, Germany – The one-star general who commands the Army's reserve headquarters in Europe was suspended this week, pending the outcome of an internal probe, U.S. Army Europe said.

 

Brig. Gen. Michael Harvey, who leads the 7th Mission Support Command and also serves as deputy commanding general of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, is under investigation for a matter that "does not involve criminal activity or safety," USAREUR said in a statement Wednesday.

 

Harvey was removed from his position Tuesday. Col. Douglas A. LeVien, a 21st TSC deputy commanding officer, was named acting commander of the 7th MSC.

 

"No further information will be released until the investigation is complete," USAREUR said in a statement.

 

The 21st TSC manages logistics for the Army in Europe and plays a key role in getting supplies to forces operating at relatively austere outposts in places like Poland. It also supports U.S. Africa Command.

 

Harvey, a native of Piney Flats, Tenn., assumed command of the 7th MSC in June 2019.

 

LeVien takes over with extensive logistics experience. Before arriving at the 21st TSC, he commanded the 406th Army Field Support Brigade out of Fort Bragg, N.C. He then deployed with the XVIII Airborne Corps to serve as the "Kobane Landing Zone, Syria Base Commander," from September 2018 to May 2019, his biography said.

 

The mission of the 7th MSC is to function as the Army's forward-based headquarters in Europe and provide soldiers to the service's various units supporting U.S. European Command.

Wolf Warrior Diplomacy: Israeli Attempts to Play Both the US and China are Backfiring

 

Between Washington’s precise demands to Israel to keep Beijing at bay, and the latter’s aggressive ‘wolf warrior’ diplomacy, Israel is facing a stark choice.

 

Israel’s balancing act is floundering. It is no longer able to reap America’s unconditional and, often, blind support, while simultaneously benefiting from China’s growing economic influence and political prestige.

 

Thanks to the heated cold war between the U.S. and Chinese economic superpowers, the Israeli strategy of playing both sides is unlikely to pay dividends in the long run. Soon enough, Tel Aviv might find itself having to make a stark choice between Washington and Beijing.

 

When U.S. Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo visited Israel on May 13, two items topped his agenda: Israel’s imminent illegal annexation of Palestinian land and growing Israeli-Chinese economic ties.

 

Pompeo communicated his country’s stand on both issues, reflecting Washington’s long-standing policies regarding Palestine and China. In the case of Palestine, as with the rest of the Middle East, Washington seems to adhere to Tel Aviv’s agenda, often to the letter. China, however, is a different story.

 

Two significant historical examples come to mind: one is Israel’s attempt to sell China Israeli-made Phalcon Airborne Radar System, which relied heavily on American technology in the 1990s; a similar event transpired in 2005, this time concerning Israel’s Harpy anti-radar missile. On both occasions, Israel succumbed to American pressure and canceled both deals.

 

For the Chinese, Israel matters for two different reasons. One, Israel is a strategic stop in China’s Belt and Road initiative, China’s most significant economic project to date, ultimately aimed at turning Beijing into a center of global trade and financial activity. Two, China is hoping to fight the U.S. on its own political turf, in the Middle East – partly in response to the American ‘pivot to Asia’ strategy initiated by the Barack Obama administration.

Prosecutors: 3 Military Veterans Plotted to Terrorize Vegas Protests

 

LAS VEGAS — Three Nevada men with ties to a loose movement of right-wing extremists advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government have been arrested on terrorism-related charges in what authorities say was a conspiracy to spark violence during recent protests in Las Vegas.

 

Federal prosecutors say the three white men with U.S. military experience are accused of conspiring to carry out a plan that began in April in conjunction with protests to reopen businesses closed because of the coronavirus.

 

More recently, they sought to capitalize on protests over the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in Minneapolis after a white officer pressed his knee into his neck for several minutes even after he stopped moving and pleading for air, prosecutors said.

 

The three men were arrested Saturday on the way to a protest in downtown Las Vegas after filling gas cans at a parking lot and making Molotov cocktails in glass bottles, according to a copy of the criminal complaint obtained by The Associated Press.

 

“People have a right to peacefully protest. These men are agitators and instigators. Their point was to hijack the protests into violence,” Nicholas Trutanich, U.S. attorney in Nevada, told AP. He referred to what he called “real and legitimate outrage” over Floyd's death.

 

The complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas on Wednesday said they self-identified as part of the “boogaloo” movement, which U.S. prosecutors said in the document is “a term used by extremists to signify coming civil war and/or fall of civilization.”

 

Stephen T. Parshall, 35, Andrew T. Lynam Jr., 23, and William L. Loomis, 40, were being held on $1 million bond each in the Clark County jail Wednesday, according to court records. Lynam is from suburban Henderson and the others are from Las Vegas.

 

The complaint said Lynam is an Army reservist, with Parshall formerly enlisted in the Navy and Loomis formerly enlisted in the Air Force.

 

Each currently faces two federal charges — conspiracy to damage and destroy by fire and explosive, and possession of unregistered firearms. In state court, they've been accused of felony conspiracy, terrorism and explosives possession. Trutanich said they'll be prosecuted in both jurisdictions.

 

“This type of planning and intent on causing mayhem is terroristic and will not be tolerated,” said Steve Wolfson, the district attorney in Las Vegas.
