Secularization and the Demonization of Donald Trump

These new leftists exiled the Christian God and Satan from their cosmology.

Since Satan is racist, anything Trump says related to race must be racist.

Satan, like God, works through human beings, but no human being can be classified as God or Satan.

Jesus tells us we cannot worship two gods, and we must also recognize that there cannot be two Satans, although numerous angels and demons exist.

Any Republican who viewed Obama as Satan was just as misguided; at least some of God's Holy Spirit resides in Obama, too.

The Western intellectual tradition is powerful, and it's steeped in the concept of God and Satan.

The left-wing mind continues the Christian idea that the world is governed by God and Satan.

U.S. Unveils Rules on Forgiving Student Loans After School Fraud

The Obama administration used its plan to start forgiving debt of borrowers who attended schools the administration accused of deceptive marketing, including the now-defunct Corinthian Colleges.

The National Consumer Law Center, a student advocacy group, said the new rules are too narrow, and will prevent many victims of college fraud from getting relief.

"Today's action by the Department will result in a high risk of default on student loans and lifelong financial instability for the students," Abby Shafroth, an attorney for the center, said in a statement.

The agency said it won't require, as initially proposed, for borrowers to first fall into default on their loans before filing a claim to have student loans canceled.

The rules respond to claims from tens of thousands of students-most of them having attended for-profit colleges-who say their colleges deceived them about the likelihood they would get a job if they attended the school.

The borrower-defense rules are authorized under the 1965 Higher Education Act, which says the department can relieve a borrower of his or her obligation to repay their federal student loan if that borrower proves the school they attended deceived them.

Federal law makes it extremely hard for Americans to discharge student loans in bankruptcy court.

Violence Erupts in Hong Kong as Protesters Defy Police

HONG KONG-Police fired blue dye from water cannons and volleys of tear gas to disperse protesters besieging Hong Kong's government headquarters, as tens of thousands took to the streets in defiance of a ban on antigovernment demonstrations.

Some threw tear-gas canisters into the complex that serves as the Hong Kong headquarters of China's People's Liberation Army, which is next to the Hong Kong government building.

Later, protesters set a large bonfire on a street near police headquarters a few blocks down, with flames rising several feet and a thick column of smoke billowing into the night sky.

"We're not afraid of the consequences whatever they might be. We can't be cowards anymore. We are Hong Kong and Hong Kong is not afraid," said Victor Chu, a 25-year-old clerk.

The original march had been planned to coincide with the fifth anniversary of a decision by Beijing authorities that helped kick off the 2014 Umbrella Movement, in which protesters occupied roads in the heart of Hong Kong for 79 days.

Organizers had planned to march west from the central business district to China's liaison office, a symbol of Beijing's presence in Hong Kong where protesters in July defaced the national emblem with ink.

A few neighborhoods down from where police fired tear gas, thousands of protesters took over both sides of a two-way road surrounded by high-end shops, glitzy signboards and advertisements.

The Svengali spoon-fed Ilhan Omar & AOC

Justice Democrat "Squad" members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar masquerade as tough-talking 'women of color', when in fact, both are the spoon-fed stooges of mostly male Svengalis.

On the very same day that it was revealed that Ilhan Omar had potentially run afoul of Federal Election Commission guidelines, AOC, eerily silent since "Reassigning" her former chief of staff Svengali Saikat Chakrabarti, resurfaced on a scare-mongering, 'We're all gonna' die' video.

"A complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday alleges freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar illegally used campaign money to help carry on an extramarital affair with a Democrat consultant whose firm she paid tens of thousands of dollars."

"Federal campaign finance records show that Omar's campaign has paid nearly $230,000 since 2018 to the E. Street Group, a political strategy firm of which the lawmaker's alleged married lover, Tim Mynett, is a partner of. On Tuesday, Mynett's wife, Dr. Beth Jordan Mynett, filed for divorce in a D.C.-area court, alleging her spouse confessed to having an affair with Omar in April, the same month FEC documents show that the lawmaker's campaign began issuing payments to E. Street Group for"travel expenses.

"If Ilhan for Congress reimbursed Mynett's LLC for travel so that Rep. Omar would have the benefit of Mynett's romantic companionship, the expenditures must be considered personal in nature," NLPC's complaint reads.

FOOD KITS FROM U.S. PROGRAM TO FEED “VULNERABLE” SYRIANS DIVERTED TO TERRORISTS

A multi-billion-dollar government program to feed "Vulnerable" Syrians has provided food for jihadist militants in a group designated by the United States as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

American taxpayers have spent a fortune on "Emergency food assistance" during the Syrian crisis that began with the 2011 Arab spring and some of it has actually gone to terrorists that hate us and want to kill us.

Of those, the leftist world body said 9 million require emergency food assistance to meet their basic needs, including 6.5 million people facing "Life-threatening food insecurity." The famously corrupt U.S. Agency for International Development, which has a monstrous budget and little oversight, handles the money and doles out cash to groups, mostly non-governmental organizations, that provide food.

The groups are known as partners and they receive money from USAID to bring flour to bakeries, ready-to-eat rations to newly displaced populations and prepared food kits throughout Syria.

Some of the USAID-funded food kits have been purposely diverted to terrorists, according to a federal audit of the program.

In one example cited by the agency watchdog, NGO employees knowingly diverted USAID-funded food kits to the terrorist group by allowing the fighters to be included among program beneficiaries and submitting falsified beneficiary lists.

In another case, 27 NGO employees operated a scheme in which USAID-funded food kits were diverted to the same designated terrorist organization.

DOJ report unveils a former FBI boss' violations -- and "dangerous example.”

As the Washington Examiner noted, the report found "No evidence that Comey or his attorneys released any of the classified information contained in any of the Memos to members of the media." Comey had "Violated Department or FBI policy" and "Set a dangerous example" for current and former FBI employees.

In similar style in 2016, FBI boss Comey released documents on Hillary Clinton's emails on the afternoon of September 2, just before the holiday weekend.

Comey took the August 29 OIG report as confirmation that, as he said of Hillary Clinton, no reasonable prosecutor would charge him with anything.

Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani told reporters that Comey's investigation of Hillary Clinton was "a sellout, a fix from day one." The DOJ and establishment media should have seen it all coming.

U.S. Attorney James Comey also "Gave Bill and Hillary a pass," in the case of fugitive Marc Rich, also pardoned by Clinton.

Clinton crony Comey did his job and kept Hillary in the race.

Contrary to what Brennan, Comey, Wray and Mueller seem to think, the CIA, FBI and ODNI are not branches of government.

Court Grants Significant New Discovery in Clinton Email Case

Judicial Watch announced today that a federal judge granted seven additional depositions, three interrogatories and four document requests related to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of a private, unauthorized email server.

Hillary Clinton and her former top aide and current lawyer Cheryl Mills were given 30 days to oppose being deposed by Judicial Watch and wants Judicial Watch to "Shake the tree" on this issue.

"Judicial Watch uncovered the Clinton email scandal and we just found more evidence that raises further questions about the cover-up - which is why the court allowed us to pursue more leads and potentially question Mrs. Clinton under oath," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

"As ordered by the court, Judicial Watch will continue to 'shake the tree' on the Clinton email issue. It is shameful that the Justice and State Departments oppose our efforts and are still trying to provide cover for Hillary Clinton."

August 23, Judicial Watch submitted interrogatories to Department of Justice attorney Robert Prince to find out when he learned about the State Department requesting and receiving emails and federal records from Clinton and to the State Department to identify officials and documents that have been uncovered, but not identified.

The court ordered discovery into three specific areas: whether Secretary Clinton's use of a private email server was intended to stymie FOIA; whether the State Department's intent to settle this case in late 2014 and early 2015 amounted to bad faith; and whether the State Department has adequately searched for records responsive to Judicial Watch's request.

Justin Cooper, former aide to President Bill Clinton and Clinton Foundation employee who registered the domain name of the unsecure clintonemail.com server that Clinton used while serving as Secretary of State, testified he worked with Huma Abedin, Clinton's deputy chief of staff, to create the non-government email system.

What Will China Do With The Hong Kong Protests?

Protests in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China - which began in early June with demonstrators denouncing a proposed law to permit the extradition of SAR residents to the mainland to be tried in Chinese Communist courts - have entered their 12th week and show no signs of abating.

"In theory, Xi [Jinping] could quickly do away with Hong Kong's autonomy and activate the city's garrison overnight. But the likelihood of mobilizing troops remains low and the fallout from doing so - for both China and Xi personally - is potentially much higher than dealing with the political and economic repercussions of the protests, not least because he's already engaged in a damaging trade war with U.S. President Donald Trump."

The Hong Kong protests reportedly were a topic of debate at this year's annual meeting of current and former Communist Chinese leaders, which was held in Beidaihe in early August.

Beijing cannot count on the loyalty of the Hong Kong police force, many of whose members are close relatives of the protesters.

The Hong Kong police have proven unable to control, much less terminate, the protests.

Any crackdown on the protesters in Hong Kong would likely dissuade Taiwan, and likely everyone else, from considering support for Beijing's "One country, two systems" policy to solve the island's standoff with the mainland's People's Republic.

Lawrence O'Donnell is What Happens When all Standards of Journalism are Gone

Last week, after President Donald Trump had said that, because his three predecessors in the job failed to deal with China's unfair trade practices, and therefore he was the "Chosen one" to do so, the Democrat-toadying news media went berserk.

Then there's Joe Biden, the Unfrozen Caveman Senator who seldom knows what town or state he happens to be in, and can't remember the name of that guy he served with as Vice President.

Our Democrat-toadying fake news media has gone to heroic lengths itself to excuse Biden's latest despicable fabrication as just another gaffe.

Having a sense of humor and irony is also part of who President Donald Trump is.

The answer is simple: our fake national press corps has mounted a focused campaign of dehumanization against Donald Trump the candidate and Donald Trump the President for four solid years now.

This dehumanization campaign is also why we saw NBC and its despicable host Lawrence O'Donnell clearly intentionally slander President Trump and Trump Enterprises by claiming some loans taken out by the company had been co-signed by Russian oligarchs close to Vladimir Putin.

After the Trump lawyers sent a letter promising a major lawsuit were the false report not retracted within 24 hours, O'Donnell was forced to issue a grudging semi-apology in which he hilariously claimed to have not adhered to NBC's "Rigorous" standards.

The Deep State Will Face Justice Soon! Right?

That's the scam our government is running on the American people today, a ruse to tamp down expectations of justice.

The I.G. is batting zero on justice.

Heads up for those desperately trying to put the blindfold back on Lady Justice.

If a layered legal system is what we have, it has nothing to do with justice - that's anarchy.

"While she [Hillary] may never face justice in a court of law, perhaps losing the presidency is a more prescient and proper punishment."

The Deep State would gnash their teeth and fight like a wounded animal as they would metaphorically die should justice prevail.

The bad guys are going down, justice is coming, the guilty will pay, and the check's in the mail.
