  • Evidence Against the Clintons is Mounting

    ByMariam Farrar

    The CFO of the Clinton Foundation, thinking he was “meeting an old professional acquaintance,” admitted to investigators that the charity had widespread problems with governance, accounting and conflicts of interest, and that Bill Clinton has been commingling business and personal expenses for a long time, reports The Hill’s John Solomon.

    Clinton Foundation CFO Andrew Kessel made the admissions to investigators from MDA Analytics LLC – a firm run by “accomplished ex-federal criminal investigators,” who have been probing the Clinton Foundation for some time.

    Kessel told MDA “There is no controlling Bill Clinton. He does whatever he wants and runs up incredible expenses with foundation funds, according to MDA’s account of the interview. “Bill Clinton mixes and matches his personal business with that of the foundation. Many people within the foundation have tried to caution him about this but he does not listen, and there really is no talking to him.”

    Evidence Against the Clintons is Mounting

    MDA compiled Kessel’s statements, as well as over 6,000 pages of evidence from a whistleblower they had been working with separately, which they secretly filed with the FBI and IRS over a year ago. MDA has alleged that the Clinton Foundation engaged in illegal activities, and may owe millions in unpaid taxes and penalties.

    In addition to the IRS, the firm’s partners have had contact with prosecutors in the main Justice Department in Washington and FBI agents in Little Rock, Ark. And last week, a federal prosecutor suddenly asked for documents from their private investigation.

    …

    The memo also claims Kessel confirmed to the private investigators that private lawyers reviewed the foundation’s practices — once in 2008 and the other in 2011 — and each found widespread problems with governance, accounting and conflicts of interest.

    “I have addressed it before and, let me tell you, I know where all the bodies are buried in this place,” the memo alleges Kessel said.

    …

    The 48-page submission, dated Aug. 11, 2017, supports its claims with 95 exhibits, including internal legal reviews that the foundation conducted on itself in 2008 and 2011. –The Hill

  • Justice Anthony Kennedy – More Powerful than Any President

    ByMariam Farrar
    Anthony Kennedy

    Some say the President of the United States, no matter who that is at any given time, is the most powerful man in the world. As the Chief Executive of the United States, he commands both the largest and most powerful military, and also the largest and most powerful economy on the planet.

    This may be true on the World stage, but it is not the case domestically. For years now, supreme Court Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy has been the most powerful person in America.

    While this is an abomination of federalism, it is never the less true. And it’s something that seems to be thrown about as no big deal by the legal, political and pundit class. But it is a big ‘F’ing deal (h/t Joe Biden), yet has evidently become the new normal.

    We have devolved from the Founders’ vision of three equal branches providing checks and balances on one another, to being ruled by nine black robed oligarchs, to now the reality we face today. That our freedoms and liberties, our economy – everything we hold dear, is controlled by a single individual.

    In Justice Kennedy’s hands (or his vote), he holds the future of America. We have never been so close to a dictatorship as we are today. And by one who cannot be voting out, or otherwise removed. Like a dictator, it is he and he alone who decides to stay or go. But unlike a Dictator, there is little fear of assassination.

    Many on the left, and the right, have stated their fear of president Trump becoming a strong-arm dictator, but that fear has little merit. Just like Obama – regardless of what he does, what harm he can cause to, or good he can do for America (depending on your perspective), it will last for no more than eight years. After that, if his successor wishes to undo or change things, he or she is able to try. In other words, anything a President does can be undone.

    This is not the case regarding supreme Court decisions. As we’ve experienced, with much frustration I might add, there appears to be little, if anything, we can (or will) do to overturn a bad supreme Court decision. High Court decisions are held by many in the same regard as are the Ten Commandments – higher by some.

    And as most important decisions recently have been of the narrow-margined, 5-4 variety, this puts Kennedy clearly in charge.

    So “in charge” is he, that Elizabeth Wydra, president of the leftist Constitutional Accountability Center wrote a piece attempting to convince Kennedy not to retire.

    “It is impossible to imagine any stronger or more able steward of Justice Kennedy’s legacy than Kennedy himself. In the years ahead, Kennedy’s influence over the nation’s future will be more compelling than ever. In short, the Supreme Court is once again the Kennedy Court,” Wydra quipped. By “once again,” she of course means that we are back to a nine-justice court. What she says is not at all terrifying.

    As scary as this is, she is absolutely right. ObamaCare not withstanding, the decisions of the high court normally split evenly. Roberts, Alito, Thomas and (hopefully) Gorsuch are, within reason, Constitutionalists, as opposed to the socialist one-mind collective of Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan. Rarely do these four stray from an unconstitutionally progressive decision.

    This leaves Kennedy as the wild card, capable of wielding such power over an entire nation as to make Ramesses II jealous. Ramesses II is considered to be the most powerful of all the Pharaohs.

    And one has to wonder if he looks at his situation this way. I assume he must, although it doesn’t appear to have gone to his head – yet.

    My hope, and I’m sure that of all conservatives, is that Kennedy goes quietly into the night (as in retires – not dies) without a fuss and with as little fanfare as possible, so Trump may nominate someone we, and more importantly, the Constitution, can consistently count on.

  • Illegal Immigration – Ike Showed Us the Way

    ByMariam Farrar

    A couple of days ago, I speculated who else might be crossing into United States via our southern border – besides the “innocent” children.

    It certainly appears, at least to me, that no one is being denied entry – which led me to my “Fun with Conspiracy” scenario, where Obama is allowing this to occur (that’s obvious to anyone) and actually encouraging it (again – obvious) to overwhelm the immigration system (Cloward and Piven).

    The conspiracy part was that he was also allowing terrorists to freely walk in and set up shop for attacks, as an excuse for him to impose martial law.

    Conspiracies aside, we have been hearing for years that we must do something, but that is impossible to seal off the whole southern border, and “do you think we can just round up millions of illegals?”

    In fact this problem at the southern border has been plaguing America for well over 50 years.

    Enter Dwight D Eisenhower, Supreme Commander – Allied Forces and newly elected President of the United States.

    Illegal Immigration

    At the time Eisenhower took office in 1953, at least 3 million illegals had already crossed the border and were residing in the United States.

    Ike called it as he saw it quoting a New York Times article: “The rise in illegal border crossing by Mexican ‘wetbacks’ to a current rate of more than 1 million cases a year has been accompanied by a curious relaxation in ethical standards extending all the way from the farmer-exploiters of this contraband labor to the highest levels of the federal government.”

    A couple of things should have jumped off the page. First, the fact that the New York Times would ever publish such a thing and second; just imagine anyone, much less the president, quoting that passage. Today, he would be perp walked out of the Oval Office.

    Needless to say, Eisenhower had a real problem with illegal aliens.

    In 1954 he appointed retired General Joseph Swing to head up the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) and gave him full authority to do what he had to do to stop the flow and deport the ones already here.

    “Jumpin Joe”, as he was called from his days in the 11th airborne, got to work and did so with only 1075 agents.

    He tasked 750 of those agents to travel to Southern California and Arizona and round up 1000 illegals per day.

    Illegal Immigration

    “Operation Wetback” as they called it, began on June 17, 1954. By the end of July, they had caught 50,000 in just those two states.

    And what happened then, is what we have been saying for years. Another half-million fled the country on their own rather than be arrested.

    It’s called self deportation and when illegals know an administration is serious, that’s what happens.

    They then moved on to Texas where they apprehended another 80,000 “wetbacks” and another 700,000 self deported.

    The illegals very quickly understood that Eisenhower wasn’t going to mess around. Consequently, illegal immigration decreased by 95% in the ‘50s.

    After Ike left office, it was back to a relaxed attitude under Kennedy and every other president since, including Reagan.

    Eisenhower proved it could be done, if one has the will of a Supreme Military Commander. Simply give the order that it be done and charge the right people to do it – period.

    Ike was able to rid us of the flood of almost 3,000,000 illegals with little more than 1000 agents, so never accept from anyone that it “Can’t Be Done”!
