Congress Sinks Into Partisan Morass as Shutdown Threat Looms

As we draw closer to May Day, it appears we are drawing closer to what we have been warned about, a season of shaking and chaos. Members of Congress are back home for a two-week recess after one of the most bitterly divided and least productive starts in recent history. A new, urgent challenge is waiting for them when they return: finding a way to set aside their anger and mistrust long enough to keep the federal government open. Government funding expires on April 28, which will give Congress five days to unveil, debate and pass an enormous spending bill, or trigger a government shutdown. (Source: bloomberg.com)

White House Reveals New “Red Lines”: Assad’s Use Of Barrell Bombs Could Lead To More Strikes

In the latest apparent shift of the White House’s official stated position on what could draw a U.S. military response in the Syrian conflict, on Monday afternoon press secretary Sean Spicer warned that the use of either chemical weapons or the use of barrel bombs on civilians could draw fire, literally, from the Trump administration. (Source: zerohedge.com)

South Korean Paper Reports China Has Deployed 150,000 Troops To North Korea Border

While the catalyst is unclear, it appears the market dropped as headlines of further sanctions against Russia appeared and reports of China deploiying 150,000 troops to its North Korea border. According to Korean news agency Chosun, the “Chinese army has deployed about 150,000 troops to the North Korean border in two groups to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.” The reason: the prospect of “military options”, such as preemptive attacks on North Korea, like the one the United States launched on Syria. (Source: zerohedge.com)

Trunews Host Rick Wiles leaves GOP in protest of Deep State coup

President Trump’s bombing of Syria was the ‘last straw’ for a conservative Christian radio host. Rick Wiles, longtime host of the popular weekday TRUNEWS radio program, accused President Trump of betraying the voters who elected him last November. Pastor Wiles said, “The Deep State coup succeeded in overturning the populist revolt of the American people. It appears that President Trump surrendered to the Goldman Sachs war lords. We’re going to war with Russia, China, and Iran unless God intervenes to stop it. Our leaders are madmen. This is insanity.” (Source: trunews.com)

Unusual Navy Patrol Sparks Fear of Foreign Sub Off California Coast

Anti-submarine aircraft have been loitering over the same area off the California coast for hours, which is fueling speculation that a Russian – or a North Korean – submarine was spotted in the area. While the report of a foreign vessel is unconfirmed at this point, the military patrol is apparently not part of a routine exercise due to the number of aircraft hovering over the same area and the late hours of operation. (Source: infowars.com)

Republican governor of Alabama quits amid sex scandal

Before the glory of God comes, the high places are brought low and the valleys are exalted (Isaiah 40:3-5). I believe that is where we are in 2017. Here is a great example. Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley, a Republican, has announced his resignation Monday amid an explosive sex scandal and allegations that he used his office to facilitate and hide evidence of his affair with an adviser. Bentley, a 76-year-old grandfather of eight, inadvertently texted his wife of 50 years, Dianne, with a message meant for his mistress, former adviser Rebekah Caldwell Mason. “I love you Rebekah,” he texted Dianne, who abruptly filed for divorce from the governor in August 2015. Dianne said her marriage suffered an “irretrievable breakdown,” according to court records. The two had been married since July 24, 1965. (Source: wnd.com)

Trump Scraps Tax Plan, Timetable Threatened

President Donald Trump has scrapped the tax plan he campaigned on and is going back to the drawing board in a search for Republican consensus behind legislation to overhaul the U.S. tax system. The administration’s first attempt to write legislation is in its early stages and the White House has kept much of it under wraps. Administration officials say it’s now unlikely that a tax overhaul will meet the August deadline set by Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin. (Source: hosted.ap.org)

U.S. Special Forces kill ISIS fighters, repel attack in Syria

U.S. Special Forces helped repel an ISIS attack on a military base in southern Syria on Saturday and killed all the ISIS fighters, two U.S. military officials confirmed. ISIS attacked an entry gate at the Al Tanf garrison with a vehicle-borne IED, followed by 20 to 30 ISIS fighters, some wearing suicide vests. At the time of the attack, there were American military forces at the base, as well as others nearby on patrol. They all responded, along with other coalition members and Syrian opposition forces, with direct fire and airstrikes. All of the ISIS fighters were killed and there were no American casualties. “The enemy got crushed,” one US military official said. (Source: nbcnews.com)

Russian naval activity in Europe is higher than it was during the Cold War, says Nato admiral

Russian naval activity in Europe now exceeds levels seen during the Cold War, a top US and Nato military officer has warned. Navy Admiral Michelle Howard voiced concern the distributed nature of the deployments could end up “splitting and distracting” the transatlantic alliance.

“We’re seeing activity that we didn’t even see when it was the Soviet Union. It’s precedential activity,” the head of Nato’s Allied Joint Force Command in Naples and commander of US naval forces in Europe and Africa told Reuters. “They’re a global navy, I understand that. But the activity in this theatre has substantially moved up in the last couple of years.” (Source: independent.co.uk)

It comes after it was claimed 100 gay men had been detained and three killed in Chechnya last week. A report by Novoya Gazeta said authorities had set up several camps where homosexuals are killed or forced to promise to leave the republic. (Source: dailymail.co.uk)

Tennessee Republican Sen. Bob Corker Pushing for Continuing Obamacare Looting of Fannie and Freddie

Here’s another example showing Republicans are just as crooked, just as bought and paid for by the bankers, as Democrats. Tennessee Republican Sen. Bob Corker, derisively tagged the “Senator from Wells Fargo” by those fighting to recapitalize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, is actively pushing President Trump to continue the Obama administration policy of sweeping Fannie and Freddie earnings to the Treasury Dept. In a letter dated March 29, 2017, Corker rounded up four other U.S. Senators, including Virginia Democrat Sen. Mark Warner to write a letter to Melvin Watt, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. The letter asked President Trump to continue taking what is known as the “Net Worth Sweep” that sweeps all Freddie and Fannie earnings into the U.S. Treasury, without paying stockholders any dividends. (Source: infowars.com)

Disney Files Patent for ‘Soft’ GIANT Humanoid Robots to Play with YOUR Kids

Disney research scientists are exploring the manufacturing of robots that can safely interact with young people, effectively altering how kids grow up, which will further allow for robots to integrate with mankind. Shortly, the robots will have their limbs programmed by a nearby controller, who will operate “desired motions and output forces.” Disney’s attempt at creating a ‘soft’ humanoid robot to play with children is directly a part of the fourth industrial revolution. The elite are wholeheartedly going after children. Their agenda ends in the mixing of man and machine. (Source: christiantruther.com)

George Soros Backed Jared Kushner Venture Cadre With $250 Million

Trump’s actions during his first three months in office combined with articles like this have me very concerned about who Trump really is and who he really works for. It turns out that George Soros is the money behind a new real estate venture called Cadre which was founded by Donald Trump’s son in law Jared Kushner and his brother Joshua Kushner. The Real Deal has uncovered the fact that George Soros was the man who provided Cadre with a $259 million line of credit. A source told the publication, “Soros has had a long and productive relationship with the Kushner family.” (Source: jewishbusinessnews.com)
