Will The Flynn Case Be Mueller’s Undoing?

sunbeam December 18, 2018 Comments Off

Will the Michael Flynn case be the undoing of Mueller and his band of #NeverTrumpers? More info trickled out today that showed that it took three weeks for the interview notes (FD-302) to be approved by Andrew McCabe. This was a long time for a simple transcription of the results of an interview. It certainly appears that McCabe had some hand in shaping how the interview was put down on paper.

While not completely clear, it also appears that the second agent’s notes have yet to be produced. This appears to be in violation of the judge’s order to produce such items for his review. Gregg Re reported: ...

The Targeting Of General Flynn

sunbeam December 17, 2018 Comments Off

The Michael Flynn case becomes more and more curious. Last week the judge overseeing the case took the unusual step of directing the DOJ to produce specific notes, docs, etc. on the case. The DOJ has backed away from asking for any jail time for the process crime of lying to the FBI that General Flynn is supposed to have committed.

Flynn was an outspoken critic of President Obama’s Middle East policy that included the rise of ISIS. Obama had pretended that ISIS was inconsequential (“The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a J.V. team puts on Lakers uniforms, that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant,”). ...

Feel Good Story

Retired bricklayer and part-time fisherman Joao Pereira de Souza, 71, who lives in an island village just outside Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, found the tiny penguin, covered in oil and close to death, lying on rocks on his local beach in 2011 . Joao cleaned the oil off the penguin’s feathers and fed him a daily diet of fish to build his strength. He named him Dindim.

After a week, he tried to release the penguin back into the sea. But, the bird wouldn’t leave. ‘He stayed with me for 11 months and then, just after he changed his coat with new feathers, he disappeared,’ Joao recalls. ...

Michael Cohen’s Sentencing Memo

sunbeam December 14, 2018 Comments Off

Michael Cohen is back in the news. The Justice Department has released his sentencing memo. Cohen is pleading guilty to a variety of felonies including campaign finance law violations. It certainly seems clear from a casual reading of the memo that Cohen had engaged in fraud for profit to a substantial degree. Deception certainly seems to have been a chief component of his work life.

Should he be going to jail? Based on the fraud and tax evasion charges, it would appear so. However, he also appears to be pleading guilty to a crime that did not occur. Now it is not unusual for individuals to plead guilty to avoid potentially longer sentences even when they did not commit the crime alleged. And this seems to be the case here. ...

Is Macron On The Ropes?

sunbeam December 12, 2018 Comments Off

Will French President Macron survive? France is not Venezuela yet. But, civil unrest continues to be a problem in parts of the country. And the French have a history of overthrowing their rulers and re-writing their constitutions. Since 1789 they have removed three kings, two emperors, and several presidents. During that period of time the country has had 15 constitutions.

Will France Become Another Venezuela?

sunbeam December 11, 2018 Comments Off

In France on Monday President Macron tried to get control over the civil unrest that is engulfing parts of the country. He attempted to bribe the citizenry by raising the minimum wage, exempting overtime pay from taxation and promising not to raise taxes on pensioners receiving less than 2,000 euro/month.

Is Macron trying to take France down Venezuela’s path? Maduro did similar things and we all know how well that has worked out. How many struggling small businesses will be forced to shutter due to Macron’s “generosity”? Macron has indicated he will use the full weight of the police and military as needed to quell anti-government protests. Some 89,000 police were mobilized last weekend against the uprisings. ...

Has France Ignited Europe’s Arab Spring?

sunbeam December 10, 2018 Comments Off

Over the weekend some 125,000 people across France donned yellow safety jackets. They rallied against President Emmanuel Macron and the high cost of living in France. In Paris, armored vehicles and almost ten thousand police tried to contain the demonstrators.

Many famous Paris tourist spots were locked down during a fourth weekend of protests. Almost 1400 people were arrested and dozens of people were injured. Because of the increased police presence there appeared to be fewer outbreaks of mass violence that had plagued Paris on previous weekends.

Returning Christ To Christmas

sunbeam December 8, 2018 Comments Off

For too many years we have had leaders who were afraid to recognize Christianity as a critical religion in America. This has been particularly true when it came to Christmas. There has been a big push helped along by a corrupt media to try to take Christ out of the season. It became “Happy Holidays” rather than “Merry Christmas.” It has been made to appear that the holiday season had nothing to do with the birth of our Lord and Savior more than 2000 years ago.

Frivolous Prosecutions

sunbeam December 7, 2018 Comments Off

The recent election campaigns have illustrated that the Democrats will stoop to any low to win an election. Perhaps the architectural blueprint for a lot of this type of activity occurred ten years ago in Alaska. At that time Senator Ted Stevens-R was running for re-election. The Democrats abused the legal system until Stevens’ name and career were utterly destroyed.

Hangman’s Nooses

sunbeam December 5, 2018 Comments Off

Last week on the morning before the runoff election for the US Senate in Mississippi a number of hangman’s nooses were found hanging from trees near the State Capitol in Jackson. In addition, “hate” messages were found nearby.

Of course, this led to an immediate meltdown by the MSM and elite Democrats. Leftists knew immediately who was behind the horrific display: white supremacists who supported Sen. Hyde-Smith in her runoff election against Democrat Mike Espy.
