Over the weekend, First Lady Melania Trump traveled across the Atlantic with President Donald J. Trump to attend the 45th G-7 Summit. While in France, Mrs. Trump participated in several spousal events hosted by Mrs. Brigitte Macron, wife of French President Emmanuel Macron.

On Sunday, Mrs. Trump accompanied Mrs. Macron and other G-7 spouses for a walking tour of Espelette, France. During the trip, the U.S. First Lady visited several charming shops, including a fabric store, a traditional bakery, and a regional grocery store before stopping by a nearby pepper field to meet with a local farmer and learn more about the region’s agriculture.

Before departing, Mrs. Trump traveled to Côte des Basques Beach on Monday for a surfing demonstration and a youth biodiversity presentation. The young surfers joined her and the other spouses on the shoreline for a brief introduction to surfing. For the biodiversity presentation, the First Lady was escorted to three displays by a youth member to learn more about their marine life and environmental conservation projects.

“Mrs. Macron was a gracious host, showing us around some of France’s most beautiful and charming villages and towns,” Mrs. Trump said.

“The G-7 is a great opportunity for the spouses and partners to come together on a global stage to further engage in our discussions for the future of our youth and to enhance our relationships with one another.”

From the G-7, President Trump secured a billion dollar trade deal 


Coming soon is a huge trade agreement with Japan worth billions of dollars to American businesses. President Trump announced the new deal over the weekend alongside Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan.

The new deal is both a win for America and greatly strengthens ties with one of our largest trading partners. More market access has been secured for our agricultural goods and, importantly, Japan will be buying up large sums of corn from American farmers. The agreement also makes significant progress on digital trade and will greatly reduce tariffs on industrial products.

“This is a tremendous deal for the United States,” President Trump said. “It’s a really tremendous deal for our farmers and agricultural ranchers.”

IDAHO TAXPAYERS MUST FUND TRANSGENDER INMATE’S GENDER REASSIGNMENT SURGERY, COURT RULES

IDAHO TAXPAYERS MUST FUND TRANSGENDER INMATE’S GENDER REASSIGNMENT SURGERY, COURT RULES

Surgery would be a first for Idaho state prison system


A federal appeals court has ruled taxpayers in Idaho must fund a sex change operation for an inmate incarcerated for raping a minor.
In a ruling Monday, the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with a federal judge in Idaho who ruled that denying the gender reassignment surgery for 31-year-old Adree Edmo violated the 8th Amendment’s “cruel and unusual punishment” protections.
Edmo’s attorney’s celebrated the ruling as a win for his “basic right to medical treatment.”
“This is a complete win for Ms. Edmo,” said attorney Lori Rifkin. “Our client is immensely relieved and grateful that the court recognized her basic right to medical treatment.”
Idaho Governor Brad Little, however, vowed to fight against the 9th Circuit’s decision, calling it “extremely disappointing.”
“The court’s decision is extremely disappointing,” a statement issued by Little reads. “The hardworking taxpayers of Idaho should not be forced to pay for a convicted sex offender’s gender reassignment surgery when it is contrary to the medical opinions of the treating physician and multiple mental health professionals.”
Edmo was housed in a men’s prison after a 2012 conviction for sexually abusing a child younger than 16.
Rifkin said during that time, Edmo exhibited extreme symptoms of gender dysphoria, even at one point attempting to cut off his testicles.
If the surgery goes forward it would be a first for Idaho’s Department of Corrections.
A date for the surgery has not been determined, as Idaho could appeal the court’s decision.

FACEBOOK SUSPENDS PAGE OVER PRO-INFOWARS MEME


FACEBOOK SUSPENDS PAGE OVER PRO-INFOWARS MEME

Offending meme slammed CNN while promoting Infowars

Facebook has suspended another meme page over a pro-Infowars meme that dunked on CNN.
“The admin of the Memelord For Hire MKIII Facebook meme page received multiple 30-day suspensions in a censorship blitz kicked off by a meme that supported InfoWars,” reports NationalFile.com.
The page’s admin, Chad Dallas, provided screenshots to National Fileshowing Facebook flagged the satirical meme featuring a group of black teens throwing gang signs, with text reading, “Fuck CNN. All my homies watch Infowars.”

Image credit: Chad Dallas/NationalFile.com
Dallas says Facebook soon found more memes they claimed were in violation of their terms of service, and threatened to suspend the page entirely.
Meanwhile, Facebook users who attempted to “like” the Memelord For Hire MKIII page, followed by over 50,000, were presented messages warning them to review the page’s content prior to subscribing.
“The most irritating part of this whole debacle is Facebook could easily just delete my page for having the wrong opinions and be done with it,” Dallas told National File.
“They haven’t, because they’re cowards, and they need a reason to justify banning a harmless satire page that criticizes all sides of the political spectrum. Hence the trumped-up ‘Community Standards violations.'”
Just last week, Facebook suspended a page for MemeWorld.com, a new website created by Trump’s favorite meme maker Carpe Donktum.

Overstock CEO was Honey Trap in FBI Attempt to Connect Maria Butina to Trump

The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris discuss the Overstock founder and CEO Patrick Byrne's resignation after he revealed his ties to an FBI government probe related to the Trump campaign, Russia and the 2016 election.

Byrne claims that he received "fishy" orders to spy on Maria Butina in connection to the Trump-Russia investigation from former FBI official Peter Strzok.

FULCRUM

Andrew Breitbart, Roger Stone, Alex Jones And I Were All Deplatformed Talking About The Same Man!
AUGUST 25, 2019
John Podesta, suspected pedophile and close associate of Jeffrey Epstein and the Clinton family.
John Podesta, suspected pedophile and close associate of Jeffrey Epstein and the Clinton family.

Conservative journalism rockstar Andrew Breitbart was more than deplatformed, of course—he was killed. I have very little respect for people in the journalism world who are convinced that Breitbart died of natural causes, just as he was beginning to hammer John Podesta nearly daily from his Twitter account. You can still review the deluge of tweets from Breitbart about Podesta in the months before his death, by conducting an Advanced Search query on Twitter.

Keep reading this article when you have a few minutes, because this is a deep dive that deserves your attention and the attention of the broader conservative community—and, for that matter, the human community itself. Predators like John Podesta need to be held accountable, sooner or later, no matter how much money they have.

The king of conservative journalism was trying to link Podesta to child sex trafficking back in 2011.
The king of conservative journalism was trying to link Podesta to child sex trafficking back in 2011.

Among other things, Breitbart was accusing Podesta of being involved in a leftist elite child trafficking ring—a far less extraordinary claim in the wake of Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest, subsequent death, and the revelation he had three 12-year-olds “delivered” as a birthday gift, and molested them severely before sending them back to France.

That was just one incident, and one birthday. Experts say that an elite pedophile with means will abuse between 400 to 1,000 or more children during the course of his or her life.

Breitbart was also making the claim that people around Podesta liked to be covered in human blood—a bizarre claim at the time, that some seven years later is widely known in the truth community as “spiritcooking”—an occult activity that emerged in the Podesta Emails published by WikiLeaks three years ago, shortly before the US Presidential election in 2016. Podesta was receiving invitations via email to elite spiritcooking events, one of them led by Marina Abramovic, dark occultist to the stars and some in D.C. as well.

Breitbart apparently knew about spiritcooking back in 2011, and frequently mocked Podesta’s associates over the bizarre practice.
Breitbart apparently knew about spiritcooking back in 2011, and frequently mocked Podesta’s associates over the bizarre practice.

Breitbart was not obese, was under really no more pressure than any other journalist in his situation would be, and his massive heart attack in his early 40s—immediately after visiting a D.C. bar—is simply not par for the course.

In one of his last recorded interviews, which is still available on YouTube, Breitbart screamed “FUCK YOU, John Podesta!” into the handheld recording device of the journalist interviewing him, and began to ramble about the “politics of personal destruction,” as he called it, which he implied Podesta and his associates were making him endure.

Roger Stone, longtime friend to President Donald J. Trump before he became President, was banned from Twitter shortly after a tweet calling John Podesta—by name—a “Pedophile.”

Stone has been in and around conservative politics for more than four decades, and has claimed Richard Nixon as one of his key mentors. Whatever you think of Stone, he knows the political scene, and probably knows the dirt on many people in that scene.

Not only was Stone banned from Twitter, an Obama-appointed federal judge has issued a gag order against Stone, forbidding him from any other social media activity and from giving media interviews of any kind. Incredible how hard they are trying to silence us all.

My YouTube account was banned and deleted by Google nearly two years ago—a tough career blow as an investigative video journalist, for sure. From 170,000 subscribers and 17 million views on YouTube to… whoever happens to be skimming this article, I guess! Hi there!

Now, when you search for me on YouTube, you find only a video by a critic describing me as a “child abuse hoax promoter” in the title, that’s how I’m repaid for my investigative journalism on the Podestas.

No, not a hoax promoter at all, the scandal surrounding John Podesta is sadly quite real, here’s a walkthrough of just some of our legally vetted evidence.

The day Alex Jones decided to wade back into controversial waters (even for him!) and talk about the allegations surrounding John Podesta was the day that Facebook and YouTube simultaneously shut down his massively popular InfoWars content across both platforms — and a permanent ban from Twitter arrived just a couple weeks later for Jones.

And who is Podesta, exactly? He was Bill Clinton’s chief of staff in the White House, Barack Obama’s senior counselor in the White House from 2014 to 2015, and most recently Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager for her failed 2016 Presidential bid.

He and his brother, Tony Podesta, during the Clinton & Obama years also operated one of the most powerful lobbying firms on the planet — the Podesta Group.

The Podesta Group, until recently a lobbying titan that represented leading military defense contractors, pharmaceutical companies, and banks, for some reason shuttered its doors and dissolved practically overnight during the height of the Mueller investigation.

How does one of D.C.’s hardest hitting lobbying firms — an on-ramp to influence in Washington for large corporations and some of Podesta’s dinner buddies, including George Soros and Lynn Rothschild as per the WikiLeaks, close down overnight like some kind of traveling circus tent?

What the f*ck happened?

Well, no one really seems to know, and of course neither Podesta brother was charged in the final wrap-up of the Mueller investigation, which has since concluded.

A refugee from the shuttered Podesta Group, lobbyist Oscar Ramirez, has opened a new shop in D.C., and has remarkably called it “FULCRUM DC,” an apparent attempt to lower our reach in search results — or to confuse the public. Poor move. FULCRUM reported on this bizarre branding choice at the time:

Former Podesta Group lobbyist and self-described “Obama appointee” Oscar T Ramirez has begun marketing himself throughout Washington, DC as a “co-founder” of FULCRUM DC, and yet we have never heard of the man.

On the strength of the FULCRUM brand, Ramirez has already signed CVS and USAA as consulting clients.

Never met him, never heard of him, never had any dealings with Oscar Ramirez.

Lefties are racist anti-semites, Larry Tribe, not our guy!

RUSH: I was all ready to go. I had everything all lined up and in order, and this is what happens. Every day at the very last minute I get something that upsets everything I had planned. Everything I had planned is still gonna happen. But man, oh, man, folks, these people are beyond being categorized now.


Do you know the name Laurence Tribe? Laurence Tribe, law professor emeritus. He’s part of the Professor Dershowitz crowd at Harvard. And he is the Democrats’ favorite Supreme Court justice that’s never been nominated. That’s who he is. He used to be on Nightline all the time. He was always on these shows. I think he’s gotten too senile now to be comfortably put on TV without a handler. So you don’t see him on TV much. Maybe see a Twitter video, YouTube video, but outside of that I don’t see him much.

But he remains the Supreme Court justice that’s never been nominated, meaning they think that he’s the smartest lawyer ever in the country to be passed up for it. Now, what’s happening, the Democrats I think are having trouble getting traction, so they have to keep trying to outdo themselves. It’s kind of like little kids in your house shouting and if you ignore them, then what do they do? They start shouting even more. Then they might break the window. Then they might throw chocolate pudding on the dog, whatever it takes to get your attention finally.

Harvard Law Professor Accuses ‘ Racist’ Trump of Wanting to ‘Reverse Outcome of the Civil War.” That’s now the way they’re trying to go about explaining to people that Trump is a racist. See, they’ve been calling us, all of us racists for so many decades that it’s kind of lost its impact. So then they went to white supremacist. And then they went to white nationalist. And it’s not moving any meters. It’s not moving any needles. People are yawning and going ho-hum.

So they turned to Larry Tribe. “Larry, what can we do? How can we describe ‘em?”

(imitating Tribe) “Well, you tell ’em, you tell ’em Trump is trying to reverse the outcome of the Civil War.”

So Trump is basically trying to relitigate the civil war so that the confederacy wins is what this guy is trying to say that Trump’s objective is. Now, I don’t care what Trump’s approval number is, and I don’t care what people think of Trump, this is absolutely insane. There isn’t a single — well, that’s not true, either. There are gonna be people, “You know, you know what, that’s a good way of saying it, Larry. You keep talking, dude.”

But, man, folks, it’s like they’re trying to call Trump an anti-Semite now. Let’s see. His daughter converted to Judaism to marry a prominent Jewish guy. That would be Jared Kushner. And therefore Trump’s grandchildren are Jewish. How many kids has Ivanka got? They got three, so he’s got three grandkids who are Jewish. His daughter, his eldest daughter is a converted Jew. And her husband, of course, is Jewish. And Trump has many Jewish people working for him in the Trump Organization. Somehow Trump is now anti-Semitic because of what he’s trying to do to keep Tlaib and what’s-her-face out of Israel.

Meanwhile, it’s the Democrats that provide the residence and the home for anti-Semitism today. They won’t even condemn it. And there’s a story today, there’s an op-ed editor or actually an editorial, political department the New York Times editor who’s had some of the most vile anti-Semitic statements on Twitter since 2010. Some of them have been pulled down some of them haven’t.

But the New York Times is owned by the Sulzberger family, which is a Jewish family, and they’ve got people all over that paper that are anti-Semitic, anti-Israel. And, by the way, these tweets are not anti-Israel. In fact, I hadn’t planned on getting there, but let me hit the Stack here and find this story, because this always happens, folks, and I beg your indulgence here as I find this. And, no, I’ve tried putting all this stuff on the computer and it does not speed up trying to find it. I just have to get to it when I do. Yeah, here we go.

“A New York Times political editor has a years-long history of antisemitic and racist comments on his Twitter page.” His name is Tom Wright-Piersanti. That’s hyphenated. Tom Wright-Piersanti. He’s “a Senior Staff Editor at the New York Times for more than five years according to his LinkedIn page and according to his Twitter page oversees the newspaper’s political –” I’m sorry. People can’t write anymore. There should be a comma in there. “According to his Twitter page he oversees the newspaper’s political coverage, has made a series of antisemitic and racist tweets over the years. Many of them are still public on his Twitter page as of the publication of this article, but some have since been deleted.”

It’s a Breitbart story that tracked this down. “One tweet that is still public is from the early morning of New Years Day in 2010 –” admittedly it’s nine years ago but the guy’s not been called out, it’s still there. He is one of the political assignment editors at the New York Times. “He admits he is antisemitic but announced that his New Years resolution was to be less antisemitic,” going forward, “even though the tweet’s content mocks Jewish people.”

And here’s the tweet: “’I was going to say ‘Crappy Jew Year,’ but one of my resolutions is to be less anti-Semitic,’ Wright-Piersanti tweeted on Jan. 1, 2010, at 9:35 a.m. “So…. HAPPY Jew Year. You Jews.”


Now, this is before he started working at the New York Times, but they hired him. This was public. It was clear as a bell the guy’s an admitted anti-Semite, and the New York Times hires him. And now they’re out lecturing the country about racism in a contrived and convoluted manner simply to undermine the Trump presidency, when they employ and favorably cover actual racists and actual anti-Semites.

Another tweet from the evening of December 15th, 2009, from this guy. His name is Tom Wright-Piersanti, senior staff editor New York Times for more than five years. It includes a photograph of a car with what looks like a menorah, culturally and religiously associated with a Jewish holiday on the roof. It’s an actual menorah, it’s not a sign. It’s not painted. It’s an actual menorah with the lights on the roof of the car! And he comments, “Who called the Jew police?” quote, unquote. “Breitbart News has not been able to determine what Wright meant by ‘the Jew-police.’” Well, we all know what it means. The menorah looks like flashing red lights, flashing blue lights on the top of a cop car so he sees a car with a menorah on it, the Jew police.

Now this guy is still in charge of political news assignments at the New York Times and they’re running stories today about what an anti-Semite Donald Trump is, when the anti-Semitism is in the Democrat Party, and it’s on the left. There are at minimum elected two Democrats who ran on the premise of hating Israel, they grew up hating Israel. I’m talking about Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.

And they’re doing the same thing with the economy now.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: We got a call from Martha’s Vineyard about Trump and the anti-Semitism and so forth and I want to grab it. Russ, great to have you with us, sir. Hi.

CALLER: Rush, how are you? It’s a pleasure to speak with you.

RUSH: It’s great to have you with us, Russ. I’m glad you made it through here today.

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. I just wanted to say that I’m Jewish, I’m a conservative, and I want to thank President Trump for being the first president to ever stand up and speak the absolute truth, unfiltered without all the soft and fluffy words. You know, I’m blown away by how the left has had to bend themselves into a pretzel to figure some way of saying, “Well, President Trump’s an anti-Semite.”


It’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. When Rashida Tlaib said, “I’m not going” — you know, obviously that blew her cover because she really wanted to cause trouble there. And President Trump comes back and says if you’re Jewish and you vote liberal, you’re either unfaithful or you’re uninformed. I mean, how much more true can it be?

RUSH: Yeah, but they mischaracterized it. They said Trump was accusing liberal Jews of being disloyal to America. They purposely misstated what he was saying. Look, your point is right on the money. He is the first president and the highest ranking elected official ever in my memory to actually call this out and people involved in it for what it is and what they are. And it has so upset the standard-bearers, it’s so upset the existing protocol, they don’t know how to deal with it. So they have this knee-jerk reaction.

All they can say, Trump’s racist, Trump’s bigoted, Trump’s homophobic, Trump’s anti-Semitic. These are the list of complaints or allegations that they constantly throw at Republicans and conservatives. They do it mindlessly. Meanwhile, they’re actually on the Democrat side electing people who hate Jews.

CALLER: No question.

RUSH: They are electing people who are militant Islamists like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, and there are many more of them lurking waiting to run for office, by design. They hate Jews. They hate Israel. And they’re not too fond of America, when you get right down to it.

CALLER: Rush, one of the things that bothers me is that I believe the Jews in the United States are liberal because they’ve had it so easy. If they had to face the same kind of dangers every day of the week that Israelis face, they’d never be liberal.

RUSH: Well, this has been something — I have a lot of — you know, you can’t say this without people accusing you of being something or other. But over the course of my life I’ve known a lot of Jewish people, a lot of Jewish friends, and I know several religious Jews who are very conservative. And they have the same curiosity about how in the world can liberal Jews exist knowing what we all know. And I’ve told them that they’re liberals first, not Jews first. Be it a feminist, they’re all liberal first. That’s the religion.

CALLER: Yes. And it’s almost like part of a cultural club.

RUSH: Well, but there’s also another reason for this, and it’s actually an example, you could call it a testament to the power of branding, the power of the ability of Drive-By Media to bend and shape. I’ve actually met liberal Jews, and I’ve talked to them about this. And some of them have convinced me that they really believe that conservatism is the equivalent of Nazism.


Now, who has been saying things like that for years? The American media, the Democrat Party. Is it any wonder they call Trump Hitler. They called George W. Bush Hitler. His nickname was Bush Hitler. The left has done this for as long as I’ve been old enough to pay attention. And there are a lot of liberal Jews who are not very bright, and they haven’t applied themselves intellectually. They just accept it.

You know what it’s like? It’s like when I was growing up the Democrats every presidential election would accuse the Republicans of wanting to take Social Security away from senior citizens. And then they’d accuse ’em of wanting to kick senior citizens out of their homes! And I would marvel at senior citizens believing it.

So I would go talk to them, “Do you really think, do you really think the Republicans are gonna take your Social Security? Has it ever happened? Has any Social Security ever been taken away?” And the answer I got was, “I can’t take the chance. I’ve got to vote for the people who are telling me they’re never gonna take it away. I can’t take the chance that Republicans won’t take it away.”

It works the same way with a lot of constituency groups on the left. They have been lied to and propagandized with a bunch of really despicable hatred about Republicans and/or conservatives and their reaction is, “I can’t take the chance. Yeah, I don’t think anybody would really ever take my social, but I can’t take the chance that there won’t be one come along that might.”

It’s another reason why I say this election is gonna be based on base turnout, base strength and base donations. But your point about Trump being the first elected official, highest elected official president to actually come out and say the truth about this is just causing all kinds of discombobulation on the left. They don’t know how to deal with it. They have had the run on this issue, they’ve owned it, they have been able to stifle any opposition.

And here comes Trump, and not only does he say these things, he doesn’t even seem to be afraid to say them. He just launches with them. And it’s not just on this. The Second Amendment, and what the Democrats’ purpose is there. He’s telling people, the Democrats want to take your guns! There hasn’t been an elected official on the Republican side that has been that point-blank about what the Democrat purpose is. There hasn’t been a Republican come down the pike that tells the American people what the Democrats’ real objective is with illegal immigration, but Trump does. And they don’t know how to deal with it.

They’re used to being able to silence people on the right who say these things. They’re used to being able to get them fired. They’re used to being able to have boycotts of advertisers or other supporters. Somebody comes out and says what Trump says about liberal Jews, in the usual situation that person is finished.

They are able to destroy, get that person fired, get that person demoted, get that person boycotted, what have you. They can’t hurt Trump. They don’t know how to deal with it. The same thing is happening on the economy now.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Who’s next? Matt in Bristol, Connecticut. Great to have you, sir. Hi.

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Always a privilege to talk to you. I feel like I’ve grown up listening to you.

RUSH: You probably did. I appreciate that.

CALLER: My question is, one day after the conference that Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar called Benjamin Netanyahu’s presidency oppressive, oppressive regime, there was a report that the Palestinian authorities actually started arresting the LGBTQ community.

RUSH: Oh, yeah, I saw that.


CALLER: I haven’t heard anything from them, and I was just wondering your take on that.

RUSH: I loved it. I’m glad you reminded me. It’s one of the things I had in the Stack that I didn’t get to. It’s classic. It’s classic. Here you have these militant supporters of the Palestinian Authority, Palestine. In fact, they didn’t say they were going to Israel. They were going to Palestine. There isn’t a Palestine. These are militant Islamists. They are anti-Semites to the core. It’s why they wanted to come to this country and run for Congress.

So they get elected, Ilhan Omar and Tlaib. And they claim they are great leftists and have all of this tolerance and understanding, and yet the actual organization they are devoted to, the Palestinian Authority, is intolerant of homosexuality, is intolerant of transgender this or transgender that. They don’t permit it, like it isn’t permitted anywhere in the Muslim world. In fact, it is punished severely. And they ignore it.

They’re gigantic hypocrites. They ignore it. They would never call their own organization oppressive, and they would never demand that the Palestinian Authority shape up and start treating homosexuals and transgenders fairly. Instead they’ll go out and lie and claim that Netanyahu and the Israelis are the big oppressors. Yeah. That’s a great, great reminder.
