Many people are noticing a rather familiar, albeit oddly timed, leftist “anti-Semitism” narrative being pushed into the media broadcasts over the past 36 hours.   Yes, it seems to have come out of nowhere.  Why?  No one is really understanding what’s going on.
Understandably, the right side of the political continuum are referencing the media push from the position of their own camp; that makes them defensive.  However, the actual motive of the professional corporate media to push this meme has nothing to do with President Trump or republicans – it’s an internal maneuver and transparently Clintonian.

Team Clinton, meaning the professionally political elements of the Democrat machinery, are pushing the anti-Semitism storylines because the party is in the final stages of framing their argument to ensure their preferred DNC head, Tom Perez, wins as party chair.

The Democratic National Committee votes this week for its next leader. The winner of the DNC chair race will very likely reflect whether the committee’s voting members think it prudent to align their party with the Hillary Clinton-Barack Obama camp, the Bernie Sanders camp — or neither.  ~NPR

Tom Perez endorsements: former Vice President Joe Biden, former Attorney General Eric Holder, former Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
Keith Ellison endorsements: Sen. Bernie Sanders; Sen. Elizabeth Warren; Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer; Rep. John Lewis; New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Raymond Buckley
Pushing odd, vague, disingenuous and sparsely connected stories about anti-Semitic news, is the way Team Clinton undermine Perez’s opponent, Keith Ellison.
Representative Ellison, a Muslim, carries a strong anti-Semitic liability from his past associations and past engagements speaking negatively about Jewish people. (more…)

A “non-media” Harvard-Harris poll of 2,148 registered voters, provided exclusively to The Hill (who refuse to publish the raw data – go figure), finds overwhelming support for President Trump’s immigration proposals.

There are multiple stunning aspects to the survey, including the D+9 poll sample that is entirely disconnected from the 2016 election results and voter registration records.

[…]  2,148 registered voters was conducted between Feb. 11 and 13. The partisan breakdown is 39 percent Democrat, 30 percent Republican, 27 percent independent. –link–

Actual 2017 national voter registration data:

• 28% Republican
• 25% Democrat
• 44% Independent.

Additionally, The survey refutes the preferred media narrative so substantively the graphics team had to work overtime to downplay the results.    So let’s skip the graphics and just look at the key takeaways: (more…)

Another research report surfaces today highlighting a growing international trend.  More People are beginning to identify the structures of liberal government as untrustworthy; it is quite an interesting dynamic.
The latest Trust Survey comes from Canada and shows a massive drop in trust by Canadians toward the construct of their governance.
While there are many media voices who would immediately seek to refute the empirical evidence within such surveys, one thing becomes increasingly clear.  The more liberal the structure of government, the greater the drop in trust.  [UK Brexit, USA Trump, France Le Pen surge are recent examples.]

Within the Canadian survey you find another similarity to underlying nationalist distrust, the media are viewed as the problem [Slide #13, #15].  There is no doubt a large number of people throughout the globe are waking up to the reality of their leftist media being co-conspirators in the selling and maintenance of leftist governance.

An important development today surrounding the removal of President Obama restrictions and policies protecting illegal aliens.
Today Homeland Security Secretary General John F. Kelly officially ordered federal agents to begin using current administration policy to streamline the immediate repatriation of illegal aliens caught in the U.S.

DHS issued two guidance memos [#1 HERE] and [#2 HERE] which expands the process of apprehension and deportation, again following through on one of President Trump’s chief campaign promises.  The memos cover a large set of immediate initiatives including:

• Prioritizing criminal illegal immigrants and others for deportation, including those convicted or charged with “any criminal offense,” or who have “abused” any public welfare program
• Expanding the 287(g) program, which allows participating local officers to act as immigration agents – and had been rolled back under the Obama administration
• Starting the planning, design and construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall
• Hiring 10,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and officers
• Hiring 5,000 Border Patrol agents
• Ending “catch-and-release” policies under which illegal immigrants subject to deportation potentially are allowed to “abscond” and fail to appear at removal hearings

The status of young adult illegal aliens “Dreamer or DACA recipients” remains unchanged; however, agents were told there are no longer any other special classes of people that should be considered off limits for deportation.

Tucker Carlson interviews the former US Ambassador To Sweden Azita Raji about the current immigration issues faced within Sweden and the growing crime problem… or at least that’s what Tucker tried to do.
What followed from the very first question is a representative definition of “Parseltongue”.
Exhaustive words flowed from Ms. Raji, circling aimlessly amid a word cloud quickly filled by her verbal thesaurus of nothingness. WATCH: 

Sorry, I know you’ll never get that 6 minutes of your life back… but it showcases a brutal point about the professional left.
Ask yourself this immediate question:

What did she say?

Within the answer to that question you’ll know what it’s like to debate a globally-minded Marxist.  However, that said, almost all of the current occupants within the U.S. State Department could watch the same video and applaud her eloquence.
