Stories about Obamites and Cambridge professor outed as FBI informant inside Trump campaign

NY Post  "A Cambridge professor with deep ties to American and British intelligence has been outed as an agent who snooped on the Trump presidential campaign for the FBI.

Halper

"Multiple media outlets have named Stefan Halper, 73, as the secret informant who met with Trump campaign advisers Carter Page and George Papadopoulos starting in the summer of 2016. The American-born academic previously served in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan administrations.. . .. 

If the FBI or DOJ was infiltrating a campaign for the benefit of another campaign, that is a really big deal,” President Trump tweeted Saturday, calling for the FBI to release additional documents to Congress.

"The Halper revelation also shows the Obama administration’s FBI began prying
into the opposing party’s presidential nominee earlier than it previously admitted." . . .
Clarice Feldman: H.A.L.P.E.R. Spells Game Up for Obama's Spies
"Last week I reported that Internet sleuths had winkled out the name of the spy/agent provocateur that Obama's intelligence officers had used on the Trump campaign. " . . .
. . . "We now have an imaginary crime – collusion – with imaginary evidence and even imaginary defendants. What is not imaginary is the selfish effort to destroy our polity by several handfuls of men and women who abused their positions of trust for intended partisan gain that failed. Give them the hook already."

Thomas Lifson: MSM silence on Stefan Halper’s name ends  "The conspiracy to use the vast powers of the US intelligence community spy on the Trump campaign and hobble his presidency with fabricated allegations of collusion with Russia is unraveling at an accelerating pace. The latest evidence of the slow motion collapse of the cabal is that the name of Stefan Halper, which has been known to readers of American Thinker for quite some time now (and which was first revealed by Chuck Ross of the Daily Caller almost two months ago), suddenly is being published and broadcast by members of the mainstream media. Fox News, The UK Daily Mail, Newsweek, The New York Post, andMother Jones all are defying the warnings of intelligence agencies, politicians like Senator Mark Warner (see Clarice Feldman’s demolition of his CYA attempt today), and left wing professors that revealing his name could be a crime." . . .
. . . "It is only a matter of time before Halper is subpoenaed to appear before a congressional committee. And possibly also a grand jury under the direction of the US Attorney in Arkansas, John Huber, who is investigating the FISA warrantto spy on the Trump campaign and other potential abuses."

Portland trampoline park shutting down, owner blames millennials, labor laws

Oregon Live

"The owner of a pair of trampoline parks is shutting them down, citing Portland's minimum wage increases and the state's mandate to provide part-time employees with sick leave. Millennials also share part of the blame, he said.

"G6 Airpark owner Wesley Dameron, 38, in a note to customers drafted earlier this month that was posted to Reddit Wednesday, said he's shutting down his parks in Southeast Portland and Vancouver. In addition to minimum wage laws and sick leave mandates, Dameron also blamed a "ridiculously litigious society" as a reason for shuttering the parks." . . .

"When parents sign a waiver and clearly understand that their kid is jumping on a trampoline, but hold our facility responsible when their child breaks a leg, it's a blow to our organization," he wrote. "It's a massive time sink for me personally, it's stressful, my wife stresses out, and it's expensive."

. . . 

"Dameron couldn't be reached for comment. But the G6 Airpark owner in his note to customers also expressed incredulity at having to provide paid sick leave to "part-time high school students with no experience and no skill set.' " . . .

DHS Secretary: Democrats Owe Trump An Apology For Peddling Lies About His Remarks On Immigrants

americanthinker/cartoons/

Matt Vespa  "Katie wrote about this yesterday. President Trump had a roundtable discussion with those fighting sanctuary city policies that have become a protective shield for illegals to hide behind to avoid deportation. He called MS-13 "animals," but the liberal media decided to once again peddle fake news, erroneously claiming the president was saying this about all illegal aliens. Pavlich had the transcript:

SHERIFF MIMS:  Thank you. There could be an MS-13 member I know about -- if they don’t reach a certain threshold, I cannot tell ICE about it.

THE PRESIDENT:  We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in -- and we're stopping a lot of them -- but we're taking people out of the country.  You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are.  These aren’t people.  These are animals.  And we're taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate that's never happened before. 

. . .

. . . "Now, Department of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen is asking Democrats who piled on the fake news train yesterday to hop off and apologize to President Trump. The DHS secretary added that she was “horrified” at how the record was being distorted (via Free Beacon):

Manners, Morals, and Political Correctness

The challenge before us is to carefully distill our morals from our manners.  Political correctness stifles open inquiry by choosing sentiment over reason as the hallmark of acceptable behavior.  In other words, hurting someone's feelings is a greater sin than perpetuating a falsehood.  Lies, however, constitute the grammar of tyranny.  Truth, as awkward as it may be, remains the bulwark against the mental slavery that precedes the kind of political tyranny the world knows so well.

Tiger Droppings

Saul Goldman   "Are manners and morals essentially the same?  Are manners merely "small morals," as Thomas Hobbes defines them?  Or is there a fundamental distinction?

"Moral philosophy is about our understanding of virtue or righteousness.  Manners, on the other hand, focus upon public or political behavior.  We might draw the distinction between manners and morals by stating that manners are instrumental behaviors while morals are existential.  One might differentiate them by pointing out that manners are social behaviors subject to place and time.  Manners govern actions.  Morals, on the other hand, define how we "ought" to interact.

"Since what we do is connected to why we should do it, manners and morals were investigated by both social scientists and philosophers.  Aristotle described manners as "practical wisdom" as opposed to philosophical wisdom.  Practical or political wisdom is devoted to man's self-interest or what is good for the individual.  But what is good for the individual must be evaluated against what is good in general.  Practical wisdom is about how a man may obtain something that is good for him.  Philosophical wisdom seeks to understand what is good.

"Much of our moral awareness derives from our perceptions of what feels good.  That is why David Hume argues that we determine virtue or vice by how we feel rather than what we think." . . .

Dishonest Dems, media ignore Trump’s triumphs

Boston Herald

Anyone expecting President Trump supporters to soften up on their allegiance to the president heading into the November midterm elections is sadly mistaken.
This past week, Democrats, the FBI and the liberal elite media gave Team Trump strong reasons to remain solidly behind the Republican commander in chief and his “drain the swamp” cause.
. . . 

"So what’s been the media focus of the week?

"President Trump referred to members of the notoriously violent MS-13 street gang as “animals.” He has used the same MS-13 description many times before, so the press was well aware of it. Still, it didn’t stop beat writers from The New York Times, Washington Post and Associated Press, plus TV network and cable yakkers, from falsely reporting Trump’s remarks.

"They lumped in all illegal immigrants as “animals” with MS-13 kidnappers, rapists (especially child rapists) and murderers, and attributed it to the president." . . .
