Nice to see President Trump's administration favors the pro-Life cause in so many ways! God bless him. White House to screen [excellent pro-life] film [on Gosnell] By Chris Perez April 11, 2019 | 9:54pm | Updated Enlarge Image The Trump administration will be screening an anti-abortion film at the White House on Friday, according to reports. The 2018 indie flick — “Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer” — is based on the true story of Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell, who is serving a life sentence for the murder of three babies that were born alive at his clinic. The movie stars Earl Billings from “What’s Happening!!” and Dean Cain from “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.” “It’s a compelling story,” a senior White House official told Politico on Thursday. The official said roughly 150 guests would be attending the screening. President Trump, however, is not expected to be there. “This is a really important film,” explained Kristie Hamrick, spokeswoman for the anti-abortion group Students of Life for America, which will have members in attendance on Friday. “The White House’s willingness to give it a voice is very powerful,” she said. Sources told Politico that pro-life activists began pushing for the “Gosnell” screening last November and spent months planning everything with the Office of the Public Liason. Things reportedly came to fruition earlier this week, with officials choosing a Friday afternoon showing. Trump has publicly condemned the practice of late-term abortions and criticized legislation that supports it, including a bill in Virginia that was introduced earlier this year and one in New York that was signed into law. “There could be no greater contrast to the beautiful image of a mother holding her infant child than the chilling displays our nation saw in recent days,” Trump said in his State of the Union address after the bills were introduced and passed. “Lawmakers in New York cheered with delight upon the passage of legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother’s womb moments from birth,” the president added. “These are living, feeling, beautiful babies who will never get the chance to share their love and their dreams with the world.” Last month, the Trump administration announced plans to expand its anti-abortion Mexico City Policy and block US funding to nongovernmental organizations outside the US that “provide or promote abortion as a method of birth control.” “This administration has shown we can continue to meet our critical global health goals, including providing health care for women, while refusing to subsidize the killing of unborn babies,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters. “We refuse to provide assistance to foreign NGOs that give financial support to other foreign groups in the global abortion industry.” :https://nypost.com/2019/04/11/white-house-to-screen-controversial-anti-abortion-film/
Ken Starr: Bill Barr Knows Something – What He Said Was a ‘Stay Tuned America’ Statement (VIdeo) Via The Ingraham Angle: Starr, who is no rabid Trump supporter, told Laura that America better stay tuned because Bill Barr knows something. Ken Starr: Here is my take, Bill Barr knows something Laura. He knows something. He says, I have a concern and I believe I have a basis for that concern. Anyone who knows Bill Barr knows he doesn’t just say things. He thinks about them. He’s careful with what he says. And I think if Bill Barr says I think there is a basis for my concern, he doesn’t say what it is, that is a “stay tuned America.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=GOsC5IKtBzc https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...hat-was-a-stay-tuned-america-statement-video/
Peter Schweizer’s ‘Secret Empires’ Named Top 5 Best ‘Political Corruption’ Books of All Time Breitbart Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer’s New York Times best-selling book — Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends — has been named the 4th best book exposing political corruption of all time, according to BookAuthority.com. Secret Empires reveals how both Democrat and Republican leaders have been cutting lucrative backroom deals and funneling the benefits to their children and other family members for years, a phenomenon that Peter Schweizer, a four-time New York Timesbestseller calls: “The new corruption.” Namely, the 336-page book delves into how former Vice President Joe Biden, his son Hunter, along with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and his wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, have profited handsomely from business deals involving the communist Chinese government. Secret Empires also includes a host of revelations about former President Barack Obama, Trump White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, and progressive mega-donors George Soros and Tom Steyer. Click here to read Secret Empire’s the top-five bombshells. Schweizer is also the author of the #1 New York Times best-selling book Clinton Cash, Extortion, along with Throw Them All Out, and Architects of Ruin — which The New York Times called the “the most anticipated and feared book of a presidential cycle.” Schweizer is the co-founder and president of the Government Accountability Institute and has appeared CBS’ 60-Minutes, the Fox News Channel, Bloomberg TV, and various other media outlets. https://www.breitbart.com/the-media...-best-political-corruption-books-of-all-time/
What a kind and thoughtful gesture on Trump's part! https://www.washingtonpost.com/immi...1d48d50ef75_story.html?utm_term=.c4fd99d583f9 White House proposed releasing immigrant detainees in sanctuary cities
The fines impounds googles are a cheap price for taking control of our elections...hence our government! This had better be rectified ASAP or the concept of free and fair elections is history!
From today's notables in the q thread. Interesting if true. http://theamericanreport.org/2017/07/20/obamas-surveillance-hammer-trump-worse-watergate/ Montgomery alleges that the U.S. government wiretapped 17 Trump businesses including Trump Tower, Trump leasing programs, Donald Trump himself and various Trump family members. All were wiretapped under the Obama administration. There has been a wiretap on Trump for years, according to Montgomery. Although the suit does not identify the surveillance system by name, audio recordings released in 2015 by United States District Court Judge G. Murray Snow in Maricopa County, Arizona identify a secret government surveillance system called “the Hammer,” allegedly used to spy on Trump, 159 judges including Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, and millions of other Americans. Klayman reported that Montgomery indicated that the surveillance program also targeted late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who was found dead at an exclusive Texas hunting ranch in 2016. According to an audio recording of Tim Blixseth, whose ex-wife worked with Montgomery at Blxware LLC of Bellevue, Washington, “the Hammer” was used to wiretap Donald Trump “a zillion times.” A leaked CIA Information Operations Center document published in March 2017 WikiLeaks “Vault 7” dump identifies a CIA hacking tool called HAMR. A computer expert who worked for the military and a major government agency involved in defense who reviewed the leaked CIA document believes that the “Hammer” and “HAMR” refer to the same surveillance system. “Montgomery laid out how persons like then-businessman Donald Trump were illegally spied upon by Clapper, Brennan, and the spy agencies of the Obama administration. He even claimed that these spy agencies had manipulated voting in Florida during the 2008 presidential election, illegal tampering that helped Obama win the White House.” Montgomery told Rep. Devin Nunez, R-Calif., that he had the proof of wiretapping on Trump Tower. Nunez did nothing, according to Montgomery. Montgomery states that Trump was wiretapped for years because, he alleges, the CIA feared Trump. HAMR can “throw” browser exploits at iOS, Android, OSX and Linux hacking targets, according to the CIA Information Operations Center document. HAMR sends specified plugins from a collection of iOS plugins called “Wild Turkey” to targeted devices and installs (implants) them for surveillance operations. HAMR appears to be a massive supercomputer system that was used to listen to phone calls not by tapping into telecommunication carrier switching stations and fiber optic cables, but instead by deploying or “throwing” malicious plugins at targeted computers and smartphones to collect the intercepts and then send the data back to the master supercomputer framework. General Thomas McInerney, USAF (Ret.) called the situation revealed by Montgomery “worse than Watergate.” Lt. Col Anthony Shaffer, US Army Reserve (Ret.) on Fox Business also described surveillance against Trump as “worse than Watergate.” Likewise, USA Today published an opinion piece referring to President Obama’s surveillance scandal as “worse than Watergate” and which also suggested that former Obama officials could face criminal prosecution
https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2...house-plan-drop-migrants-democrats-districts/ Officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) blocked a White House proposal to spotlight Central American migration by busing the migrants into Democrats’ “sanctuary city” neighborhoods, according to the Washington Post. DHS staffers leaked the hardball proposal to Democrat legislators, the newspaper reported: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s district in San Francisco was among those the White House wanted to target, according to DHS officials. The administration also considered releasing detainees in other Democratic strongholds. White House officials first broached the plan in a Nov. 16 email, asking officials at several agencies whether members of the caravan could be arrested at the border and then bused “to small- and mid-sized sanctuary cities,” places where local authorities have refused to hand over illegal immigrants for deportation. The White House told U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that the plan was intended to alleviate a shortage of detention space but also served to send a message to Democrats. The attempt at political retribution raised alarm within ICE, with a top official responding that it was rife with budgetary and liability concerns, and noting that “there are PR risks as well.” In response, Democrats inserted language into the 2019 budget designed to make the tactic difficult. The language grants $114 million for missing migrants in 2019, but only for delivering migrants into shelters capable of accepting the migrants: Within the $114,147,000 increase above the fiscal year 2018 funding level for the Transportation and Removal Program, ICE is directed to provide for the transportation of migrants to such shelters based on where collaborating organizations have open sheltering capacity, including during surge periods. President Donald Trump recently promised to take a tougher approach when he fired DHS chief Kirstjen Nielsen so the potentially powerful tactic may be deployed. If so, the tactic would dramatically show the Democrats’ willingness to allow hundreds of thousands of poor migrants to flood into blue-collar Americans’ workplaces, neighborhoods, and schools — while also excluding the low-status migrants from upscale, status-conscious, Democrat-run districts such as San Francisco. The plan would also spotlight the Democrats’ policy of protecting businesses by hiding migrants and even criminal migrants from repatriation by the DHS. (see link for rest of article)
Which state will it be that causes Roe v Wade to be examined and overturned? Many are in the running! It's very close now, Lord willing. "A Bill Banning Most Abortions Becomes Law In Ohio April 11, 20196:37 PM ET GABE ROSENBERG FROM Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed the "heartbeat bill" one day after it passed the Republican-led General Assembly. Paul Vernon/AP The six-week abortion ban known as the "heartbeat bill" is now law in Ohio. That makes Ohio the sixth state in the nation to attempt to outlaw abortions at the point a fetal heartbeat can be detected. Gov. Mike DeWine signed the bill Thursday afternoon, just one day after it passed the Republican-led General Assembly. The law is slated to take effect in 90 days, unless blocked by a federal judge. Now known as the "Human Rights Protection Act," SB 23 outlaws abortions as early as five or six weeks into a pregnancy, before many women know they're pregnant. It is one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country. The bill does include an exception to save the life of the woman, but no exceptions for cases of rape or incest. Government's role should be to protect life from the beginning to the end. Gov. Mike DeWine, Ohio "The essential function of government is to protect the most vulnerable among us, those who don't have a voice," DeWine said as he signed the bill. "Government's role should be to protect life from the beginning to the end." Federal judges in Kentucky and Iowa have blocked the laws or struck them down as unconstitutional. Another bill in Georgia has yet to be signed by the governor. DeWine's signature will set off a lengthy legal fight. ...But DeWine and lawmakers said they aren't dissuaded by the threat of legal action. Since taking office in January, DeWine had said he planned to sign whichever version of the heartbeat bill ended up on his desk. "Will there be a lawsuit? Yeah, we are counting on it," said state Rep. Ron Hood on Wednesday. "We're counting on it. We're excited about it." Anti-abortion groups such as Ohio Right To Life say they intend the heartbeat bill to trigger a U.S. Supreme Court case striking down the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. That case legalized abortion up until viability, usually at 22-24 weeks. "If this is what it takes, we will see you at the Supreme Court," said Planned Parenthood of Ohio President Iris Harvey at a rally Wednesday outside the Statehouse." https://www.npr.org/2019/04/11/712455980/a-bill-banning-most-abortions-becomes-law-in-ohio
NY Dems block bill expanding college tuition for Gold Star families after approving $27M in tuition aid for illegal immigrants: report By Bradford Betz | Fox News | https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ne...-in-tuition-aid-for-illegal-immigrants-report Video NY Dems block bill expanding college tuition for Gold Star families New York Assembly Democrats vote 15-11 to block a bill that proposed expanding college tuition aid for children of deceased and disabled military veterans in the wake of approving a state budget that set aside $27 million in college tuition aid for undocumented immigrants. New York Assembly Democrats on Tuesday blocked a bill that proposed expanding college tuition aid for children of deceased and disabled military veterans after-- having a week earlier-- approved a state budget that set aside $27 million in college tuition aid for illegal immigrants. The Assembly’s Higher Education Committee voted 15 to 11 on Tuesday to shelve the bill, effectively quashing its chances of going to the floor, the Post-Standard reported. The decision came after committee chair Deborah Glick, D-Manhattan, and Speaker Carl Heastie said $27 million from the state’s budget would go towards supporting the Jose Peralta New York State DREAM Act, which allows illegal immigrants to qualify for state aid for higher education, Newsweek reported. Glick said any expansion of college tuition aid to Gold Star families was not within the state's budget and pointed to an already-existing program that provides $2.7 million to 145 students who are dependents of vets who served in combat zones, the New York Post reported. “Assemblywoman Glick should be ashamed of herself,” said State Sen. Robert Ortt, R-Niagara. “We set aside $27 million dollars for college for people that are here illegally… Apparently, $2.7 million is all that the families of soldiers who are killed, get. If you’re a child of a fallen soldier, you do not rank as high and you know that by the money.” Mike Whyland, a spokesman for Assembly Democrats, said the Republican-led bill “would have expanded the eligibility beyond the scope and should be considered within the context of the budget.” When asked about objections by GOP lawmakers, he said: “It’s purely political and it’s unfortunate that they are using children as pawns.” Assemblyman Will Barclay, R-Pulaski, surmised that the Democrats’ refusal had less to do with budget restraints and more to do with the bill’s author: a Republican, Steve Hawley, R-Batavia. “We get so caught up in majority and minority issues here, we can’t see the forest through the trees,” Barclay said. “I don’t know how they don’t justify this.”
From Praying Medic Julian Assange Will Help Take Down the Deep State I’ll go on record and say that Julian Assange’s testimony will be a key part of the prosecution of many corrupt people around the globe. It’s hard to appreciate the plausibility of this theory outside of the revelation provided by Qanon but there are other experts who have provided supporting information. Sean Hannity has interviewed Julian Assange on numerous occasions. That Hannity is so deeply interested in and connected to Assange is a point worth considering on its own (especially if you believe Donald Trump gives him information other journalists don’t have access to). A significant data point was provided when Hannity asked Assange if Russia was the source of the DNC emails published by WikiLeaks. In keeping with his policy of not revealing sources, Assange didn’t name his source but said, “We can say, we have said, repeatedly that over the last two months that our source is not the Russian government and it is not a state party.” If, as the mainstream media has claimed for 2 years, Russia is not the source of the DNC emails, who is the source? In an interview with Dutch TV, Assange brought up Seth Rich, the DNC staffer who was killed not long after WikiLeaks received the DNC’s emails. Speculation about Seth Rich’s involvement in the DNC email leak/hack has gotten wide publicity from the mainstream media (most of it negative) due to a plethora of YouTube videos attempting to prove he was Assange’s source. Assange didn’t state that Rich was his source but what other reason would he have for mentioning him while emphasizing that his sources take significant risks? For years, Assange has been free to keep his sources anonymous. As he’s entered into a DOJ investigation, he’ll be compelled to tell exactly who his sources are and provide any corroborating evidence he’s received such as source files. In the post below, Q suggested the UK government has been after Assange because they want to silence him before he discloses what he knows about their involvement in the plot to illegally spy on Donald Trump and his campaign. Assange’s evidence (which apparently includes source files) doesn’t just implicate the UK government but most of Obama’s cabinet and staff and many corrupt people in Congress who were involved in the plot. Q has suggested that rather than being hacked by Russia, the DNC’s emails were leaked by Seth Rich. Rich was then murdered and Crowdstrike was hired to create fake evidence that fingered Russia as the culprit. (WikiLeaks Vault 7 explains how the CIA’s “Umbrage” program enables users to create false digital fingerprints implicating another entity.) Q has indicated that the Generals working with Donald Trump expected General Mike Flynn to be attacked by the deep state. The deep state’s distrust of Flynn was evidenced when in 2014, Obama removed him as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency. As head of the DIA, Flynn would have the dirt on nearly every corrupt organization in the world. The Generals working with Trump anticipated James Comey’s firing and the fact that it would lead to the appointment of a Special Counsel. It’s becoming more clear that the objective was to get Flynn entered into the Special Counsel’s investigation and let him provide the evidence he had about the crimes of corrupt people. While the mainstream media assured us Flynn’s guilty plea pointed to Trump’s eventual indictment, Mueller’s team would have no choice but to accept Flynn’s testimony and whatever evidence he could provide and refer it to the appropriate US Attorney’s office for investigation. The Mueller team’s December 2018 sentencing memo indicated that Flynn was providing testimony into several open investigations. The fact that he has still not been sentenced suggests his testimony is presently ongoing. Assange has been sitting in the Ecuadorian embassy for years with an outstanding indictment related to a crime he allegedly committed in 2010. A week after our new Attorney General goes on the Spygate offensive, Assange is suddenly apprehended and is in the process of being extradited to the US to face charges. Coincidence? Military planning at its finest? I suspect that in the same way General Flynn was entered into the Mueller investigation under the cover of prosecution to expose the crimes of corrupt people, the mainstream media and political pundits will, in ignorance, paint Assange as a criminal (or perhaps a helpless victim) while he provides testimony further incriminating bad actors around the globe. I’ll close with Rudy Giuliani’s observations about Assange’s arrest: “Maybe it will shed light on the plot to create an investigation of President Trump based on a false charge of conspiracy with the Russians to affect the 2016 elections. Keep your eye on Ukraine,” Giuliani told the Washington Examiner. “It’s possible with all his sources he might know or have information of how it all started.” Note: Images from this original post by Q were omitted for clarity. Check the original post to see related images. https://prayingmedic.com/2019/04/14/assange-will-help-take-down-deep-state/
I hope that Assange is able to trade testimony for a reduced sentence but I am not convinced that he will get a fiar shake if he is extradited to the US. There is a whole lot of legal maneuvering that can happen in keeping him from testifying about certain subjects.
What I'm wondering is why would UK turn him over if May and/or others will be in jeopardy if/when he starts talking.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/apr/14/las-cruces-new-mexico-migrant-dropoffs-spur-plea-d/ Las Cruces, N.M. pleads for help amid migrant dropoffs: 'This is going to be an ongoing event' Border Patrol agents dropped off asylum-seeking migrants in New Mexico’s second most populous city for the second day in a row Saturday, prompting Las Cruces city officials to appeal for donations of food and personal hygiene items and a state medical program to seek volunteers to provide health assessments of migrants. The migrants were being temporarily housed at a homeless shelter in Las Cruces, a city recreation center and a campus of social service agencies, city officials said in a statement. The statement said 83 migrants arrived Saturday, following about 95 who were dropped off by the Border Patrol on Friday at the Gospel Rescue Mission homeless shelter and the Community of Hope campus. The Las Cruces Sun-News reported Las Cruces churches for months have been providing temporary shelter to migrants released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention but that Friday was the first time that the Border Patrol vans dropped off migrants at the homeless shelter. City spokesman Udell Vigil said Saturday that migrants could be arriving “for the next several days.” Las Cruces is not a sanctuary city that rebuffs federal officials carrying out deportation orders.
Exactly, so I think either the US has evidence that does not rely on his testimony and they have been shown or they cut a deal to not reveal the particulars and save the relationship in some fashion.
From the chans, something to consider... Remember these VERY important facts happened in THIS order. Julian Assange was arrested. It came out that the request was for US extradition. Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the Labour party and in opposition to PM May, made the first call for Assange not to be extradited to the US. Labour MPs made up almost all of the 70 MPs from the Brit parliament to call for Assange to face extradition to Sweden rather than the US (note: Corbyn didn't want Assange extradited to the US but his MPs then scrambled an alternative, had no problem and encouraged his extradition to Sweden). Obamas and Clintons and Pelosi then travel to UK, Pelosi to Germany. Pelosi meets with the Labour party. What are the common links here? Labour and Corbyn are aligned with Iran. This is about the Iran deal or Hezboallah and some evidence they think Assange has. BRIBES FOR THE IRAN DEAL cover all these parties PLUS Merkel. Iran releases list of politicians who were bribed for Iran, all those people listed above are fucked. Ergo, the INSURANCE FILES FROM WIKILEAKS CONTAIN THE INFORMATION ABOUT WHO GOT WHAT FROM THE IRAN DEAL IRAN DEAL was on the SERVER. Assange has the goods on the IRAN DEAL and NORTH KOREA and nuclear proliferation in SYRIA by IRAN.
I don't know why but these Kim Clement videos that supposedly prophecy Trump's rise, the cleaning of the swamp and the SC seats opening up from 2014 remind me so much of the 80-90's evangelical prophecy books I read. Americans eat this stuff up hook line and sinker. Every time I see them and read the comments I can't think of anything but this; [11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall seduce many. [12] And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold. [13] But he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved. [14] And this gospel of the kingdom, shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the consummation come. [15] As well as Q's "trust the plan" and "enjoy the show" comments.
Judicial Watch Sues State Department Over John Kerry’s ‘Shadow Diplomacy’ to Salvage Iran Nuke Deal Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch sued the State Department on Monday for emails, texts and instant chats with John Kerry and State Department officials and/or Kerry meetings with Iranian officials. The watchdog group filed a [Freedom of Information Act] FOIA lawsuit (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of State(No. 1:19-cv-00777)) against the Department of State over former Secretary of State John Kerry’s ‘shadow diplomacy’ to salvage the “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (also known as JCPOA or ‘Iran nuclear deal’). Last May, it was reported by the Boston Globe that Barack Obama’s former Secretary of State, John Kerry had been secretly meeting with foreign officials to salvage Iran’s nuclear weapons program. He [John Kerry] sat down at the United Nations with Foreign Minister Javad Zarif to discuss ways of preserving the pact limiting Iran’s nuclear weapons program. It was the second time in about two months that the two had met to strategize over salvaging a deal they spent years negotiating during the Obama administration, according to a person briefed on the meetings. With the Iran deal facing its gravest threat since it was signed in 2015, Kerry has been on an aggressive yet stealthy mission to preserve it, using his deep lists of contacts gleaned during his time as the top US diplomat to try to apply pressure on the Trump administration from the outside. President Trump, who has consistently criticized the pact and campaigned in 2016 on scuttling it, faces a May 12 deadline to decide whether to continue abiding by its terms. John Kerry also reportedly met with French President Emmanuel Macron in both New York City and Paris. On May 8th, 2018, President Trump announced he was set to withdraw from Obama’s Iran nuke deal calling it one of the worst deals he’s ever witnessed. Leading up to Trump’s announcement, John Kerry, the architect of the Iran nuke deal, was reportedly behind the scenes on a “stealthy yet aggressive mission” of shadow diplomacy, desperately trying to preserve his pact by meeting with Iranian official, Javad Zarif. Iran’s foreign minister Javad Zarif abruptly announced his resignation in February of this year in an Instagram post. Trump’s current Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called John Kerry’s meeting with “the world’s largest state-sponsor of terror” “unseemly and unprecedented” and “beyond inappropriate.” “John Kerry wasn’t elected president, so he should avoid colluding with Iran and other foreign government to undermine U.S. foreign policy,” said Judicial Watch President Fitton. “Our lawsuit is meant to discover not only what Kerry was up to but also to unearth who inside the Deep State Trump ‘resistance’ were coordinating with Kerry’s clandestine efforts to undermine the President Trump’s Iran policy.” Barack Obama and his officials continue to undermine President Trump on the world stage without fear of reprisal. John Kerry was previously seen in Paris meeting with Iranian officials, Obama was recently in Germany secretly meeting with Chancellor Merkel and Hillary Clinton traveled to Puerto Rico (US territory) in January to meet with the governor of San Juan to help rebuild infrastructure after a powerful hurricane destroyed the island. Apparently the Logan Act only applies to Republicans (General Flynn). https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...s-shadow-diplomacy-to-salvage-iran-nuke-deal/
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/larison/trumps-shameful-yemen-veto-defines-his-presidency/ Trump’s Shameful Yemen Veto Defines His Presidency As expected, Trump used his veto tonight to reject S.J.Res. 7, the antiwar Yemen resolution passed by both houses of Congress earlier this year: President Trump has just issued the second veto of his presidency, rejecting a resolution from Congress to end U.S. military support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen. Trump calls it a "dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities." pic.twitter.com/IgrxgE4943 — Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) April 16, 2019 Trump has been a supporter of the war on Yemen for years, and since taking office he has increased U.S. involvement in the conflict and vehemently resisted every attempt by Congress to curtail or end U.S. support for the Saudi coalition. He inherited this indefensible policy from Obama, but unlike many other Obama policies that he couldn’t wait to undo he continued and expanded on this one. His embrace of the Saudis and their war has been a major part of his foreign policy, and with this veto he has defined his presidency with his abject subservience to Riyadh and his complete indifference to the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Trump has spent the last two years covering up for the Saudi coalition and their war crimes, and today he has used his veto to shield them from the consequences of their action one more time. Withdrawing U.S. support from the Saudi coalition endangers no Americans, and it is another one of his scurrilous lies for Trump to say so. Reining in a lawless executive has been long overdue, but it is no surprise that the lawless occupant of the White House refuses to accept limitations on what he can do. It falls back to Congress again to use every means at their disposal to shut off all military assistance to the Saudi coalition governments and to cut off all funding to U.S. operations that provide them with support. Trump’s continued enabling of the atrocious war on Yemen should be made into a major issue in the presidential election, and he should be forced to defend his disgusting actions to the voting public. Congress must continue to do all they can to force an end to our government’s illegal, unauthorized involvement in this war. Following the House passage of S.J.Res. 7, Oxfam’s Scott Paul said this: A veto from President Trump would send its own sobering message to Yemeni families caught in the daily hell of war: our administration simply does not care. The people of Yemen and the parties to the conflict are watching closely and the messages US leaders send have the power to save lives. With a veto, they lose faith in the United States and see the end to their suffering a little further out of reach. Congress must act to keep up the pressure, and not let President Trump’s cynical, transactional and heartless brand of politics define America’s role in the world. Now Congress must act to end arms sales to all parties fighting in this brutal conflict. Today Trump has proven once more to the people of Yemen just how cynical he and the other supporters of the war are. Support for the war on Yemen is the most disgraceful U.S. policy today, and it is one of the most despicable policies of the last fifty years. That is what Trump chooses to continue and defend. He has chosen again and again to cater to and indulge some of the worst governments on earth, and he has done so for the basest reasons of protecting future weapons sales. If we knew nothing else about him, this would tell us all we need to know about his contempt for the law, his cruelty, and his disregard for innocent life.
