    Yes it is unfortunate that many of the so called conservatives in America have been complicit in the liberal agenda and have done little if anything to fight against it. They are corrupt and full of graft. A good example is the list of politicians not seeking re election. It has many more so called conservatives than liberals on it but that goes with the territory since liberals in principal do not think bowing out of their positions is relevant to their exposures.

    I was greatly dismayed by how many of them fought so viciously against Donald Trump when they had done little to fight against the Obama administrations actions. I wondered then if it was due to corruption. Now we have our answers to that question.

    A great house cleaning is happening in DC, it is my hope that once this has happened America's elected representatives can get back to the business of truly representing the people regardless of their leaning politically. We will see.

    Thank you. Would it be fair to say that these so-called conservatives could be more accurately described as right-liberals, an even more virulent species of liberalism than the leftish kind? I say they are more virulent because they may be more difficult to detect.

    They are. As well as corrupt and no longer represent the people who put them into office. They would much rather take the minority position in the government so that they can plausibly deny their collusion with and similarity to liberal ideals. They were a real mystery to a great many of the conservative's in America until the election when it became strikingly clear their agenda and corruption.

    Trump asks Ben Carson to pray at Cabinet meeting, includes press who “need prayer”
    dr. ben carson , prayer , president trump

    WASHINGTON, D.C., December 21, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) -- President Donald Trump asked Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Dr. Ben Carson to lead prayer before a cabinet meeting, and invited the press to pray along because “You need the prayer more than I do, I think.”

    “Maybe a good solid prayer and they’ll be honest, Ben, is that possible?” the president half-joked at the mainstream media’s expense.

    Carson’s Trinitarian prayer addressed God the Father as “kind,” and focused on gratitude. “We’re so thankful for the opportunities and the freedom that you’ve granted us in this country,” he prayed, as administration heads bowed and eyes closed.


    The doctor’s intercession characterized President Trump and Cabinet members as “courageous” and “willing to face the winds of controversy in order to provide a better future.”

    He expressed thankfulness for the party unity which passed Trump’s tax bill, which Carson predicted would expand the economy “so we can fight the corrosive debt that has been destroying our future.”

    The HUD Secretary said he hoped that unity will “spread even beyond party lines, so that people recognize we have a nation that is worth saving, and recognize that nations divided against themselves cannot stand.”

    “In this time of discord, distrust and dishonesty, we ask that you will give us a spirit of gratitude, compassion and common sense,” the neurosurgeon prayed. “And give us the wisdom to be able to guide this great nation in the future.”

    The explicitly Christian prayer was offered “in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.”

    Carson is a Seventh Day Adventist, and says he always prayed before operating on anyone.

    Another. A very very big one, one which I expect is the opening salvo across the bow of the evil which has permeated all our lands for far too long. Consider men like Jeffrey Epstein who ran the Lolita Express to his private island, with its temple for many many years and what will become of their empires.

    Executive Order Blocking the Property of Persons Involved in Serious Human Rights Abuse or Corruption
    Law & Justice

    Issued on: December 21, 2017


    By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act (Public Law 114-328) (the “Act”), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)) (INA), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,

    I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find that the prevalence and severity of human rights abuse and corruption that have their source, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States, such as those committed or directed by persons listed in the Annex to this order, have reached such scope and gravity that they threaten the stability of international political and economic systems. Human rights abuse and corruption undermine the values that form an essential foundation of stable, secure, and functioning societies; have devastating impacts on individuals; weaken democratic institutions; degrade the rule of law; perpetuate violent conflicts; facilitate the activities of dangerous persons; and undermine economic markets. The United States seeks to impose tangible and significant consequences on those who commit serious human rights abuse or engage in corruption, as well as to protect the financial system of the United States from abuse by these same persons.

    I therefore determine that serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.

    I hereby determine and order:

    Section 1. (a) All property and interests in property that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United States person of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in:

    (i) the persons listed in the Annex to this order;

    (ii) any foreign person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General:

    (A) to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have directly or indirectly engaged in, serious human rights abuse;

    (B) to be a current or former government official, or a person acting for or on behalf of such an official, who is responsible for or complicit in, or has directly or indirectly engaged in:

    (1) corruption, including the misappropriation of state assets, the expropriation of private assets for personal gain, corruption related to government contracts or the extraction of natural resources, or bribery; or

    (2) the transfer or the facilitation of the transfer of the proceeds of corruption;

    (C) to be or have been a leader or official of:

    (1) an entity, including any government entity, that has engaged in, or whose members have engaged in, any of the activities described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section relating to the leader’s or official’s tenure; or

    (2) an entity whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order as a result of activities related to the leader’s or official’s tenure; or

    (D) to have attempted to engage in any of the activities described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section; and

    (iii) any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General:

    (A) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of:

    contd...
     
  18. Don_D

    Don_D ¡Viva Cristo Rey!

    (1) any activity described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section that is conducted by a foreign person;

    (2) any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or

    (3) any entity, including any government entity, that has engaged in, or whose members have engaged in, any of the activities described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section, where the activity is conducted by a foreign person;

    (B) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or

    (C) to have attempted to engage in any of the activities described in subsections (iii)(A) or (B) of this section.

    (b) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this section apply except to the extent provided by statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted before the effective date of this order.

    Sec. 2. The unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens determined to meet one or more of the criteria in section 1 of this order would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and the entry of such persons into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, is hereby suspended. Such persons shall be treated as persons covered by section 1 of Proclamation 8693 of July 24, 2011 (Suspension of Entry of Aliens Subject to United Nations Security Council Travel Bans and International Emergency Economic Powers Act Sanctions).

    Sec. 3. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the types of articles specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order would seriously impair my ability to deal with the national emergency declared in this order, and I hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 1 of this order.

    Sec. 4. The prohibitions in section 1 include:

    (a) the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; and

    (b) the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.

    Sec. 5. (a) Any transaction that evades or avoids, has the purpose of evading or avoiding, causes a violation of, or attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.

    (b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.

    Sec. 6. For the purposes of this order:

    (a) the term “person” means an individual or entity;

    (b) the term “entity” means a partnership, association, trust, joint venture, corporation, group, subgroup, or other organization; and

    (c) the term “United States person” means any United States citizen, permanent resident alien, entity organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the United States (including foreign branches), or any person in the United States.

    Sec. 7. For those persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this order would render those measures ineffectual. I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in this order, there need be no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to this order.

    Sec. 8. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to take such actions, including adopting rules and regulations, and to employ all powers granted to me by IEEPA and the Act as may be necessary to implement this order and section 1263(a) of the Act with respect to the determinations provided for therein. The Secretary of the Treasury may, consistent with applicable law, redelegate any of these functions to other officers and agencies of the United States. All agencies shall take all appropriate measures within their authority to implement this order.

    Sec. 9. The Secretary of State is hereby authorized to take such actions, including adopting rules and regulations, and to employ all powers granted to me by IEEPA, the INA, and the Act as may be necessary to carry out section 2 of this order and, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the reporting requirement in section 1264(a) of the Act with respect to the reports provided for in section 1264(b)(2) of that Act. The Secretary of State may, consistent with applicable law, redelegate any of these functions to other officers and agencies of the United States consistent with applicable law.

    Sec. 10. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, is hereby authorized to determine that circumstances no longer warrant the blocking of the property and interests in property of a person listed in the Annex to this order, and to take necessary action to give effect to that determination.

    Sec. 11. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to submit recurring and final reports to the Congress on the national emergency declared in this order, consistent with section 401(c) of the NEA (50 U.S.C. 1641(c)) and section 204(c) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1703(c)).

    Sec. 12. This order is effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, December 21, 2017.

    Sec. 13. This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

    17 Stores That Are Getting Completely Destroyed by Amazon


    • December 20, 2017

    Remember Borders? What about Circuit City, Tower Records, or Musicland? Those stores were all big chains back in 1995, when Amazon debuted. Now they’re all gone, due in part to pressure from the online retailer that’s upended the American retail landscape.


    Jeff Bezos’ company has been blamed for killing off once-stalwart retail chains, forever changing the way we read and shop for books and squashing small businesses. And to hear some tell it, the path to total Amazon domination is just beginning. One investment firm even has a “Death by Amazon” index that tracks the stock prices of 54 retail chains they believe are most threatened by the online retailer.

    .......
    As Amazon expands into even more areas of retail, from grocery stores to auto parts, the number of companies under threat is growing. If these 17 businesses can’t figure out a solution fast, they might be the next stores destroyed by Amazon.

    Amazon may only control 1% of the grocery business in the U.S., but it’s poised to take a much bigger piece of the pie, threatening both small and large supermarket chains with its recent purchase of Whole Foods. That has traditional supermarkets very worried. Amazon is entering the highly competitive U.S. grocery market just as a war is heating up between stalwarts, such as Kroger and Safeway, and expanding chains, such as Aldi and Lidl.

    Kroger’s stock took a big hit after the Amazon announced it was buying Whole Foods, as did shares of Sprouts Farmers Market and Supervalu. The grocery battle could mean lower prices for U.S. consumers — at least in the near future — as well as a big shift in how we all shop for food, noted Quartz. Yet research suggests many people are resistant to the idea of shopping for groceries, especially perishables, online, so there might be hope for traditional supermarkets.
