SandyPundits.com: August 2017

The Left is outraged again (SURPRISE!) at President Trump. This time for pardoning Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Do I agree with the pardon? No. In my opinion, Trump should have waited for the appeal because I believe Arpaio would have been found innocent, but so be it. President Trump, like every other President, had the right to pardon or commute the sentence of whomever he wants. The ONLY time he can’t is if it is an impeachable offense. Otherwise, even if the offense is corruption, the pardon stands. President Trump is standing up for law enforcement as he said he would during his campaign by granting Sheriff Joe a pardon.

NAFTA Withdrawal Unlikely to Cause U.S. Consumer Harm

By Michael Stumo

President Trump raised the possibility of withdrawing from the North American Free Trade Agreement last week in an Arizona speech: “Personally, I don't think we can make a deal ... I think we'll end up probably terminating NAFTA at some point," Trump said. Contrary to what you hear in the mainstream media, a NAFTA withdrawal would be unlikely to cause harm to consumers. A detailed CPA analysis reveals that a complete U.S. withdrawal from NAFTA would have a tiny effect on U.S. consumer prices. Our investigation shows that many of the most alarming claims are simply scare tactics, often instigated by the “Import Lobby”, i.e. multinationals and trade associations that have long favored imports over U.S. production.

Blacklist America & the White Supremacist Black Church

By Daniel Greenfield

The ATLAH World Missionary Church is located in the heart of Harlem right off Malcolm X Boulevard. Pastor David Manning grew up picking cotton in the segregated South. The African-American church and its pastor have had plenty of critics over the years, but none have accused them of white supremacy... until now. Color of Change has rolled out its version of the Southern Poverty Law Center blacklist. The race-baiting group, co-founded by CNN’s Van Jones, put up a petition demanding that credit card companies stop taking “blood money” by “processing funds for over 100 white supremacist hate groups.” The Color of Change list of “white supremacist hate groups” includes Pastor Manning’s black church.

Trump’s Response to Hurricane Harvey

President Trump wasted no time preparing his administration to deal with a devastating hurricane. On Wednesday, August 23rd, he ordered Federal aid be made available to supplement both state and local resources. On Friday, August 25th, he signed a Disaster Proclamation that allowed the full array of Federal disaster resources to come into play. Trump acted quickly when requested by Gov. Greg Abbott. Following Trump’s call for preparations and his Disaster Proclamation, resources were made available to assist states and local authorities deal with Hurricane Harvey. Here are just a few examples...

Why the Left Hates the President and the Nation He Heads

By David Horowitz

The biggest hate group in America - by a wide margin - is the anti-Trump chorus, which has advanced from calling him “unfit to be president” to accusing him (in the words of CNN’s Ana Navarro) of being “unfit to be human.” In between are malignant accusations that he is a “neo-Nazi,” a “white nationalist” and a “white supremacist” – all revelations about Trump’s character that somehow remained hidden during the thirty years he was a public figure and before he ran against Hillary Clinton. The political left is relentless in its commitment to identity politics, which is a not so subtle form of racism. This animus is rooted in a racial and gender collectivism that is antagonistic to the fundamental American idea of individual rights applied universally and without regard to origins - to race, ethnicity or gender. The war to defend this idea is what created Trump’s candidacy and has shaped his political persona. [more...]

The “Fourth Horseman” of the Trumpocalypse

Four “horsemen” of the unelected Deep State are aiming to cause a “Trumpocalypse” - a final destruction of Donald Trump’s presidency. Bureaucrats continue illegally leaking classified data or doing investigations to undermine him. The mainstream media continues nonstop character assassination of President Trump. Leftist judges continue to impede his efforts with rulings based on their personal political ideology, rather than the law. If Trump’s economic policies succeed at restoring capitalism by shrinking government taxes and regulations, the resulting prosperity will triumph over these enemies. The President’s deadliest foe is thus in some ways almost as powerful as he is. Oddly, this dangerous “Fourth Horseman” is a white-haired, 71-year-old liberal grandmother named Janet Yellen.

Sweden Prepares to Deport Christian Convert to Iran, Hungary Offers Asylum

Hungary has offered asylum to Christian convert Aideen Strandsson because the Swedish government plans to deport her to Iran where she could face prison or even the death penalty for apostasy. Even worse, Strandsson states that she was told by Swedish authorities that “it’s not our problem if you decided to become a Christian.” It is ironic that Sweden has a reputation as “the world’s humanitarian conscience and a safe haven for refugees” in the face of its rejection and mockery of Strandsson.

The Economic Aftereffects of Hurricane Harvey

I own a graphics design company in Houston, and know firsthand that Harvey has affected all my employees one way or another, and this holds true for everyone in the surrounding area in Houston. But it is not just Texas that has been affected by Harvey. Across the U.S., people will start to feel the effects of Harvey. Houston is a major hub for oil refinery in the Gulf coast. At least 10 refineries have already been shut down. This means that there will be less gas to meet the demand of Americans, pushing gas prices up. With 22% of oil produced in the Gulf being shut down, we will most likely see a spike of 20 to 80 cents in gas prices in the coming weeks. With continuing effects of Hurricane Harvey to come, we send our love and prayers to Houstonians and everyone in the surrounding area. [more...]

Why Economists Can’t Connect Free Trade & Low Prices to Economic Growth

By Jeff Ferry

Economists in the U.S. are overwhelmingly in favor of free trade. But they continue to be frustrated that the public doesn’t buy their arguments. So frustrated are they that last May, one of the leading pro-free-trade think tanks, the Peterson Institute, invited highly respected economist Alan Blinder, now a Princeton professor and former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman, to give a talk on why the public doesn’t buy the free trade gospel.

Monopolistic technology giants are increasingly acquiring massive amounts of control over the manner in which the public is obtaining and communicating information. Interestingly, the Internet companies concurrently seem to have altered in an alarming way their corporate perspective on free expression. In addition to assuming greater and greater power over entertainment content itself, there appears to be an escalating influence that is being exerted in a general sense with regard to what is seen, heard, and read.

Dick Morris: Was James Comey the Leader of the Coup?

Dick Morris, author of ROGUE SPOOKS: The Intelligence War on Donald Trump, which has been a bestseller for 2 weeks and the #1 book of the season, says, “It began with an unverified dossier compiled by Christopher Steele, the former MI6 spy who was hired by a U.S. opposition research firm and paid by Hillary Clinton supporters to find dirt connecting Donald Trump with the Kremlin during the campaign.

“In retrospect, this highly flawed dossier was the catalyst that triggered everything else. A loss leader. False though it may have been, its allegations were sufficiently outrageous and sensational to attract the kind of nonstop media attention necessary to put the phony issue of a Trump-Putin arrangement on the front pages.

“We still don’t know who was behind the dossier. We don’t know the identities of the Hillary supporters who paid for it. More important, we don’t know who actually made up the allegations that have been proven false and were passed to Steele. Who went to all that trouble? It seems unlikely that the Russians would implicate themselves, but they certainly might have. Was it rogue British—and/or U.S.—spooks? Spies from other countries?” [more...]

Trade Deficit Focus in NAFTA Renegotiations

By Michael Stumo

We appreciate U.S. Trade Ambassador Robert Lighthizer’s focus upon the trade deficit and rules of origin in NAFTA renegotiations. We support the fact that major reform is needed for NAFTA to benefit American workers and businesses. If major reform cannot be achieved, walking away from NAFTA should be a seriously considered option. “Candidates Obama and Clinton promised to renegotiate NAFTA in 2008. President Obama instead finalized the disastrous trade deal with South Korea and tried to push the Trans-Pacific Partnership through Congress,” said Dan DiMicco, CPA Chairman. “As President Trump and Ambassador Lighthizer begin the first ever renegotiation of a major trade agreement, they need to remember the will of the voters rather than succumb to D.C. special interests.” [more...]

‘Outsider’ Bannon is Better for Trump

By David Horowitz

Steve Bannon will be able to better serve President Donald Trump now that he's out as White House chief strategist and back as executive chairman of conservative news website Breitbart.

Why Won’t Hillary Quit Huma?

By Daniel Greenfield

Hillary blamed former FBI boss Comey (along with a dozen other things) for her loss. But Comey's intervention came because of Huma Abedin. And her personal life. The Clintons are not known for being the forgiving type. If Hillary really believes what she's saying (and despite her long career as a serial liar, I think she actually does) you would think that costing Hillary her life's ambition would be a firing offense.) But no. Huma is still on the Hillary train. Or is Hillary on the Huma train? [more...]

Civil War, Pt. 2?

The violence has reached a very dangerous level. The Left totally blames the Right and Mr. Trump. The Right blames the Left and especially the last 8 years of President Obama and the policies and lies from the Left. But did Democrats just now notice the statues of the Confederacy? Have they been in a coma? All of a sudden, they found self-riotousness over what “those people” represented. This is over-the-top hypocritical! The arguments are disingenuous. The rage, fake. And the moral outcry is just laughable. The Left marches hand in hand with Communist flag waivers even allowing them to be shown at the DNC. Yet they are supposedly outraged by the Confederate flag and the American Flag? [more...]

It is estimated that the rise in pirating and counterfeiting has cost the U.S. economy $600 billion annually. [more...]

Trump Taken Hostage by Deep State

By Dick Morris

Last night’s Afghanistan speech by President Trump was the forced utterance of a hostage on his captor’s video. Trump should really have held up a newspaper to establish the date of the transmission, like any obedient hostage does.

The speech was the second act of self-abnegation and humiliation the president has had to endure at the hands of his deep state captors. On July 17th, the president — with his arm twisted behind his back — signed a certification to Congress (required every 90 days) that Iran was fully complying with the nuclear deal.

Trump admitted last night that he hadn’t wanted to increase our Afghan involvement and news reports surrounding the Iran certification indicate that he didn’t like doing that one. In both cases, the “wiser” counsels of his deep state advisers — led by General H.R. McMaster — prevailed over the president’s previously held views.

In the campaign, Trump called Afghanistan a waste of troops and money. He described the Iran deal as “the worst deal ever.”

But now Trump is under new management. Mike Flynn is gone. Steve Bannon is history. Reince Priebus is the answer to a trivia question. Sean Spicer is out. The good guys have fled and the Deep State — and their army of “rogue spooks” — are back in charge. (“Rouge Spooks” is a reference to our new book: Rogue Spooks: The Intelligence War on Donald Trump).

Here was the deal Trump’s captors offered: Change the subject from Charlottesville. Look presidential. Get network approval to go on primetime TV (usually withheld for anything but a war). Give a mushy statement saying you’ll reveal later the number of new troops and your “plan” for using them. Look presidential. Get good press coverage.

Or... continue to get pounded in the media over the Confederate statues and, on Afghanistan, read about how you are ignoring the military and sowing chaos in the Pentagon.

Trump caved in. Just as he did when the Deep State got him to fire Bannon.

Will he now proceed to cave in across the board?

Will he trade real Obamacare repeal for media praise by pushing a bipartisan solution that leaves it in place, possibly even stronger?

Will he bathe in media accolades for a moderate reform of NAFTA that really accomplishes nothing?

Is a minor, tepid tax cut — passed by Democrats and RINOS — in the offing?

Will he triangulate at the expense of substance to relieve the pounding he is taking in the media?

Why is the MSM Committing Fraud?

By Wayne Allyn Root

America has become a Banana Republic - the kind of place where the media doesn’t report the news; they instead decide what news you should be allowed to hear. The mainstream media determines the headlines. And since 99.9% of the people who run the media are either liberal Democrats, or crony capitalists in bed with the D.C. swamp, they purposely choose headlines to confuse you, distract you, or sadly, outright mislead you. That’s called fraud. [more...]

Trump Opponents Politicize Kennedy Center Honors

One of the unfortunate by-products of the irrational treatment of President Trump by the politically entrenched establishment class, predisposed mainstream media, and Hollywood radical left is a precipitous decline in the respect that has customarily surrounded the office of the presidency. The latest breach of traditional protocol has come from those designated to receive awards at the upcoming Kennedy Center Honors ceremony. President Trump and First Lady Melania would usually be present as prominent members of the audience but have graciously declined to attend, due to threatened boycotts from select adversarial honorees. [more...]

Is the Alt-Right Part of the Alt-Left?

Given the recent violence in Charlottesville with the alt-left battling the alt-right, most people probably think the two factions are separate and distinct extremist groups adamantly opposed to each other. But is that really true? It might surprise you that the two groups could be closely related and maybe even working together to cause certain specific problems for America. Is the alt-right another alt-left group, manufactured to help generate political news and support a leftist agenda? [more...]

Will President Trump Go for Broke?

On Inauguration Day, Donald Trump may have become the richest President in American history. Only seven months later, he may be the poorest – not in personal wealth but in shrinking political capital. But if he stays in office, he could have a huge impact on our politics. He faces an ongoing coup d’etat by the same liberal media that tried to elect Hillary Clinton by giving Trump $2 billion in free airtime to beat Republican primary opponents. This manipulative media now baits him, and he reacts. Three surprising Trump options could change the game, however, and greatly affect your money, investments, and future. [more...]

Federal Appointee to Race Relations Board Under Scrutiny for Writings on Islam

A board member with the Canadian Race Relations Foundation, an arms-length federal government agency with a mandate to combat racial discrimination, is in jeopardy of losing her post over her writings on the controversial website Jihad Watch. Christine Douglass-Williams has been writing for the site almost since she was appointed to the foundation’s board in 2012. But multiple sources have told The Canadian Press that the government is reviewing that appointment in the wake of an essay that appeared on the site in May. The post was based on a visit Douglass-Williams paid to the country alongside Jihad Watch founder and U.S. academic Robert Spencer earlier this year. In it, Douglass-Williams warns that Icelanders are being duped by seemingly moderate Muslims who deceive people into believing they are harmless, and writes that if Muslims truly had nothing to hide, they’d allow police to conduct surveillance in their mosques.

Dick Morris: Bannon - A Casualty of the Deep State

Steve Bannon, like Mike Flynn and Jeff Sessions before him, is a casualty of the deep state. This entrenched bureaucracy has now succeeded in firing or sidelining the people Trump brought with him to the White House. Now, he must govern with an administration of strangers. Some, like McMaster, are overtly hostile to his program. Others, like John Kelly, are indifferent. But the fire has gone out of the belly of the Trump presidency.

In my new book, ROGUE SPOOKS: The Intelligence War on Donald Trump, I explain how the deep state uses media leaks and group-think to marginalize the president and force him to act against his better judgement. Now Steve Bannon is gone and so is Trump’s compass and guiding star.

Rogue Spooks: The Intelligence War on Donald Trump

They’re saying President Trump is “unworthy” and “unfit” for the office he fought so hard to win. But who started these rumors? There is one person who knows the underlying causes and the players who are smearing President Trump’s brand, character and Presidency... and who are working diligently to oust him from the White House - Dick Morris. In his new bestselling book, ROGUE SPOOKS, he’ll tell you what Hillary Clinton and Obama have been up to as they quietly make plans to revive the Democrat Party and take down the President in the such a way that Republicans may never recover.

You’ll read about the scheme that has all the elements of a spy novel - how the political establishment Trump threatens is using blackmail, bribes, betrayal, special interests, back channels to Russia, spies, and worse, to bring down the President. In ROGUE SPOOKS, you’ll begin to understand all the reasons this is happening:

· You’ll learn how Obama, the catalyst, who has not left office quietly, is scheming from his new offices to rebuild his base and keep Obamacare in place;

· You’ll see clearly who is behind the intelligence coup;

· You’ll know the details of the damning Dossier (little more than gossip, rumor and innuendo) ... created with a little help from John McCain;

· You’ll see how the Trump-Putin conflict is being perpetuated by the MSM to revive Hillary for 2020;

· You’ll learn how the intelligence community is sentencing Trump to death by a thousand leaks;

· You’ll see how the left is taking over Intel; and

· How the DNC, the CIA and the FBI have been covertly disseminating a negative wave of bad press and lies about Trump.

The seemingly ubiquitous hatred of President Trump is palpable and is spreading like wildfire throughout the U.S. - not only fueling negative thoughts among voters, but causing even Trump’s most fervent supporters (including his inner circle) to doubt their choice for President. The goal of the ROGUE SPOOKS? To destroy him, humiliate him, and revive the status quo - career politicians who are more like celebrities than public servants dedicated to their constituencies.

In ROGUE SPOOKS, readers will be shocked to learn the truth about all the fake news against President Trump that came from the flawed dossier. You’ll be interested to know how leaks to the media fueled the phony scandals, and how intelligence agencies will try to use the newly appointed special prosecutor to oust President Trump. You will also learn what we can do - specifically - to stop them.

The Real Race War

By David Horowitz

The tragedy in Charlottesville could have been an occasion to stop and consider how the tolerance for politically correct violence and politically correct hatred is leading the nation towards civil war. Instead the media and the political left have turned this incident into the biggest fake news story of the summer, transforming its real lessons into a morality play that justifies war against the political right, and against white people generally.

The organizers of the “Unite the Right” demonstration in Charlottesville were repellent racists. But they came to defend a historic monument honoring a complex man and cause, and not to attack it or presumably anyone else. They applied for a permit and were denied. They re-applied successfully in a petition supported by the local ACLU. If they had come to precipitate violence, why would they have gone to the tedious trouble of applying for a permit? Who knows what – if anything – would have happened if that had been the end of the story and no one had showed up to oppose them.

What “Unite the Right” actually demonstrated was that the assortment of neo-Nazis, pro-Confederates and assorted yahoos gathered under the banner of the “Alt-Right” is actually a negligible group. This was a national show of strength that in reality attracted all of 500 people. Compare that to the tens of the thousands who can readily be marshalled by two violent groups of the left – Black Lives Matter and Antifa – and you get an idea of how marginal “white supremacists” are to America’s political and cultural life.

The Real Solution to Charlottesville

Despite disagreement from the left, the real cause of the recent violence in Charlottesville is “identity politics” which is viewing politics, political issues, and political positions from the point of view of distinct and separate groups divided by race, gender, religion, class, or other boundaries. Its roots go back to the earliest days of socialism, fascism and communism. It’s a long-term strategy among many that hope to “divide and conquer” a national identity in an attempt to gain political power. Americans need to reject identity politics and see themselves not as a group member - a lifeless clone - but, rather, as a dynamic individual with the Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as proclaimed by the Declaration of Independence.

The Moral & Monetary Arms Race of Modern War

The threat of foreign war used to unite a nation. A popular theme of Cold War science fiction was that Planet Earth would come together if threatened by aliens from another world. Today, however, the very real threat of nuclear war with Communist North Korea has not slowed the effort by American leftists to make domestic war against President Trump by any means. The confrontation in Charlottesville, Virginia included some misguided idealists but created a violent clash between two kinds of racist collectivist socialists. North Korea’s American ideological comrades foment race, class, and every other kind of hatred they can conjure to effect a coup d’etat against the democratic choice of the people. The radical and media elite know that America will be torn apart if they use gimmicks to remove President Trump. [more...]

Fake Outrage over Charlottesville

The Left is all over President Trump for not immediately and specifically denouncing white supremacists. I guess denouncing violence from both sides is unacceptable? Is there a timeframe? How many days did it take his predecessor to call an incident terrorism when it was evident, as it was in the San Bernardino shooting? Anyone remember? 14 days! It’s astounding that in the middle of the crisis, the only thing the left-wing media can say is, it’s Trump’s fault. Do they realize how that detracts from what’s happening? Do they understand that as they make everything going wrong on the planet his fault that they keep undermining their own credibility? I’m starting to believe in Trump deraignment syndrome! It’s fake rage from the Left. Why? If you are outraged by violence, then you should call out ALL violence and you should hold ALL our elected officials’ feet to the fire, not just the ones you don’t like. [more...]

Oil Futures Decline as OPEC Questions Member Compliance

Oil futures plummeted recently as investors begin to worry about OPEC members’ commitment to output cap agreements. This concern prompted a meeting in Abu Dhabi, among OPEC’s key members, to discuss the issue. Investors eagerly await news from the meeting, as the negations made at the meeting will likely result in significant price fluctuations, and thus heavy trading of crude oil futures. The meeting concerns certain members’ commitment to the output cap agreed upon in late 2016. The pact signed by the UAE and 10 other members specifically decreased the allowable output by signers in an attempt to limit global supply and thus keep oil prices reasonably high. The deal so far has not produced any meaningful effects. [more...]

Explaining the Charlottesville Riots

By Wayne Allyn Root

The biased mainstream media, as usual, is guilty of fraud, misrepresentation and slander. My book, ANGRY WHITE MALE, explained, analyzed and predicted the entire Trump revolution and election victory when no one else saw it coming. It explains the anger of middle class and working-class Americans who are primarily white. Never in my book is there one word of racism or prejudice. Trump voters are NOT racist. I never saw one instance of racism at one Trump or Tea Party event. The anger of white middle class Trump voters has nothing to do with racism, but everything to do with the middle class being targeted, persecuted and wiped off the face of the earth by liberal/progressive/socialist economic policies. We are merely fighting for our economic survival. We are screaming for help. The groups marching in Charlottesville were not Republican, or conservative, or typical "Trump voters; they were KKK white extremists. Their battle is NOT our battle. It had nothing to do with Trump's victory. [more...]

Charlottesville is What Happens When the Left Empowers Extremists

By Daniel Greenfield

In Dallas, a black nationalist activist shot and killed 5 police officers at a Black Lives Matter anti-police rally. Instead of condemning BLM, Barack Obama defended a racist hate group whose role model is Assata Shakur, a wanted black nationalist cop killer, at the funerals of the murdered officers. The left has since killed civil rights and replaced it with black nationalism. The racial supremacism of black nationalism that killed those officers is everywhere. Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ibram X. Kendi are lionized as brilliant thinkers instead of hateful racists. But racism is a two-way street. So is violence. Extremists feed into each other. [more...]

Zuckerberg May Be the New Ross Perot

For those who have been following politics with a curious eye, it sure looks as though Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is making a run for the presidency. Examining his wealth and high profile, combined with his political ambiguity, one cannot help but to be reminded of the quirky and erratic 1992 and 1996 third-party presidential candidacy of multimillionaire H. Ross Perot who drew a remarkable 19 percent of the vote in 1992 as well as 8 percent in 1996. His 1992 showing was the third highest in American history for a third-party candidate and the top spot for someone who was not a former president. This result occurred despite Perot having dropped out of the race at the height of his popularity and delaying his return to the political stage until October. [more...]

Muslim Brotherhood-linked Rep. Ellison: NK Leader More Responsible than Trump

U.S. Trade Deficit Up

By Jeff Ferry

New trade figures from the Department of Commerce show the U.S. international trade picture continues to deteriorate. The U.S. trade deficit in June hit $43.6 billion, almost the same as the June level last year of $43.8 billion. But for the first half of this year, at $276.6 billion, the trade deficit is 10.7% worse than the year-ago figure. We are now on track for an annual trade deficit this year of some $550 billion, which would be the highest deficit since 2008. That’s some 2.8% of our GDP, a substantial contractionary force in the economy. If that spending were going towards U.S. goods and services instead of foreign goods and services, it would create more revenue, more jobs, more profit, and more investment inside the U.S. instead of overseas.
