The National Covenant provides a request to extinguish the debts of the liberated governorates and re-evaluate the deposits of minors 13:30 - 22 December Last updated 13:52 - 22 December 599 BAGHDAD (Reuters) - National Assembly deputy Kefah Farhan announced on Saturday that she would submit a request to cancel debt on the liberated provinces and re-evaluate the deposits of minors. "We have raised a request to discuss the extinguishment of debts provided for housing and reconstruction in the liberated provinces because their displacement to other provinces made them unable to pay them," Farhan told a news conference in the House of Representatives attended by Al-Ghad Press. "On the other hand, we submitted a request of 50 deputies to re-evaluate the deposits of minors in gold because the current value in Swiss currency is not equal to the actual value of the Iraqi dinar and called for a re-evaluation in order to have value for them to be able to benefit from them." https://www.alghadpress.com/news/اخبار-العراق-السياسية/185508/العهد-الوطني-تقدم-طلبا-لاطفاء-الديون-على-المحافظات

Border Patrol arrests two convicted sex offenders and two MS-13 gang members who were all previously deported in four separate incidents Four men were arrested in separate incidents in Arizona and Texas this week Mexican man, 46, convicted of sex offense in US was arrested near Lukeville El Salvadoran member of MS-13, age 24, was caught near Nogales, Arizona Another MS-13 member and sex offender were also apprehended in Texas All four men were felons who have previously been deported from the US The arrests occurred in four separate incidents this week near the border in Arizona and Texas, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. On Wednesday, agents arrested a 46-year-old Mexican national, after he illegally entered the U.S. near Lukeville. During processing, agents discovered he was convicted in 2002 of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor in Mesa, Arizona. Agents in San Diego search the Honduran after he illegally crossed to border to request asylum. In separate incidents in Texas and Arizona, Ms-13 gang members and sex offenders were arrested after illegally crossing the border The U.S. border is seen from Mexico marked with white pickets near Lukeville, Arizona, where Border Patrol agents arrested a convicted sex offender who tried to enter the U.S. illegally During processing, agents conducting records checks learned that he is a member of MS-13, a violent trans-national criminal organization operating in many parts of the U.S. Both subjects are considered felons previously removed from the country and now face federal criminal immigration charges, CBP said. The agency noted that all persons apprehended by the Border Patrol undergo criminal history checks using biometrics to ensure illegal aliens with criminal histories are positively identified. Earlier this week in Texas, Border Patrol agents also arrested a sex offender and MS-13 gang member who tried to cross the border illegally. In San Diego, Border Patrol agents are seen from Tijuana on Saturday detaining a Honduran asylum seeker after he crossed the U.S. border illegally On Wednesday in Eagle Pass, Texas, agents arrested a 26-year-old Honduran national after he illegally entered the United States. Record checks revealed he has a criminal history, including a conviction in 2012 for sexually fondling a child in New Brunswick, New Jersey, CBP said. The man was sentenced to serve 255 days in prison and is registered as a sex-offender. He was removed from the U.S. in 2013. On Tuesday, agents assigned to the Eagle Pass North Station arrested a Honduran national near Eagle Pass shortly after he made an illegal entry by crossing the Rio Grande River. Records checks revealed that he had been previously deported and that he is a confirmed member of the notorious MS-13 gang. His prior order of removal will be reinstated, and he faces prosecution for reentry after deportation, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. On Friday, Supreme Court struck down a proposed ban on allowing asylum claims from people who illegally cross the border between ports of entry. Chief Justice John Roberts joined his four more liberal colleagues in ruling against the administration in the case. New Justice Brett Kavanaugh and three other conservative justices sided with the Trump administration in favor of allowing the ban. There were no opinions explaining either side's votes. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6524363/Border-Patrol-arrests-two-convicted-sex-offenders-two-MS-13-gang-members.html

Things are definitely getting interesting. The Hi-Tech Traditionalist: Is America’s Military Loyal To Its Commander In Chief? The American constitutional restoration movement known as MAGA is now entering its most crucial phase. Like all revolutionary and counter-revolutionary movements, it is time for it to find out the answer to the BIG QUESTION: is the American military with all its branches of service, all its chain of command, when all the chips are down, supportive of it or not. Yes, or no. Revolutions are highly non-linear; they start slowly and develop at their own pace, but then a certain event, political, military, economic, pushes them over the edge, to success, to failure, or to a civil war the outcome of which is anyone’s guess. The 1917 Bolshevik revolution in Russia started on March 13, 1881, when Tsar Alexander II “The Liberator”, was blown up by the Antifa-like Narodnaya Volya (People’s Will) party. Alexander, as his nickname suggests, was the most liberal of all his predecessors and successors. He freed the serfs as part of a major agrarian land reform and was well on his way to establishing in the Russian Empire a system of limited constitutional monarchy in the French style of his day. His was killed by domestic terrorists not because they feared he would fail to complete his reforms, but because they feared he would succeed. These Russian Antifa’s didn’t want a lawfully constituted rule by elected officials; they wanted a dictatorship by the “proletariat”, meaning by ruthless thugs like themselves. Thirty six years later, they got their wish. Their eventual victory, however, was never a done deal; it took a devastating defeat in the Russo – Japanese war of 1905 and a series of major blows in the first years of the First World War for Russia’s military to become sufficiently disillusioned with the Romanov rule and with Tsar Nicholas II specifically, to break their oath to the Tsar and side with the Bolshevik gang. In America, the drive for constitutional restoration began with the Tea Party movement and culminated with the unlikely election of President Trump a decade or so later. Things move a bit faster in our hyper-connected age. Trump, a pragmatist used to cutting deals with both types of mafia: the one with .gov email addresses and the one with baseball bats in the trunk, was an unlikely revolutionary. His first instinct was to cut a deal with the establishment. He hired whomever they told him to for senior-level positions and advanced their agenda items first, postponing the implementation of many of his campaign promises. Early in the administration it appeared that the grand bargain that Trump worked so hard to strike had actually worked. Justice Gorsuch was rather easily confirmed, lower court judges too. The military got a budget increase and a few departments such as Veteran Affairs, Education, Housing, Interior, and EPA, were left alone to implement the corrective, back to baseline policies that Trump had promised. On the transformative issue of immigration, however, the deal fell apart. The establishment, all three parts of it, Democrats, Republicans, and the Civil Service was simply unwilling to give an inch; their commitment to open border migration, something entirely different from legally controlled immigration, proved to be absolute. Trump acquiesced to losing the House with nary a fight, he played nice with the ridiculous Mueller “investigation”, hoping that the Democrats, having taken over the House, having restored some of the “face” they had lost in 2016, having regained a seat at the table, would move an inch, a millimeter, towards the expressed wishes of sixty-two million American voters. It didn’t happen. We may never know if Trump had ever thought that this policy of his had a chance, but he sure as heck gave it a try. It failed. So now it is time for Plan B: a war of annihilation. Trump’s only remaining choice is to annihilate the American Establishment and in order to do so he needs what all warlords do: an army. But does he have one? That is the big unanswered question of the day. I believe there can be little doubt that the firing of John Kelly and James Mattis, both Marine Corps generals, was done after they gave a negative answer to a simple question Trump had asked them: “are you willing to execute my order to deploy the full might of the American military, using all necessary means, to secure the Mexican border against all intruders?” Kelly’s and Mattis’s refusal to carry out this order on the grounds of its purported illegality, left them no choice but to resign and left Trump with no choice but to fire them. Trump’s recall of the American military from the Middle East is the action of a Commander In Chief who believes his country to be under attack on the homeland itself and thus in no position to project its military might abroad in support of foreign policy or humanitarian objectives. Trump will test to the fullest the unlimited powers given him by the Constitution to command the American military forces as their Commander In Chief. To do so, he will dismiss from service any officer, any cabinet member, any staffer who opposes his order to secure the Mexican border. Will he find any who are willing to carry out his orders, even in defiance of both Congress and the Judiciary, the two branches of government that for many decades had been unconstitutionally usurping the powers of the Executive? Will the command structure of the American military withstand the enormous pressures that it will face in the upcoming days and weeks and months? Nobody knows. One things is clear, however: if a properly elected Commander In Chief cannot order his military to secure the country’s borders against invasion, America as an independent political entity in which the people are sovereign via a system of carefully crafted checks and balances in a constitutionally established federal structure of governance is finished. If Trump wins, he will join the ranks of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, Kelly and Mattis will be remembered as the Benedict Arnold’s of the 21st Century and America will survive. If he loses, well, to quote Ann Coulter: “Adios, America!” https://tsarizm.com/analysis/2018/12/21/the-hi-tech-traditionalist-is-americas-military-loyal-to-its-commander-in-chief/

Pretty darn informative. Spent time in Isreal with the IDF, their paratrooper unit. They are all business.

Haha sorry to stir the pot and cause angst. My thinking is contrarian, think along the lines of things are not as they seem. Trump has made out to oust them but has a shadow game going on where the dems are more complacent and these big 4 are actually loyal to Trump and the military and will be used to drain the swamp with all those sealed orders lying around they will be acted on SOON.

You call my president Trump a stupid ass. Dont throw stones when you live in a glass house.

BUMP BUMP

***/// The dems delight in having these monsterous illegals pour across our border & love the fact that a "shoddily thrown together wall/fence" is the only barrier they'll support. They know only these ignorant illegals would support their political agendas and actually WANT them here ! They're masters at spending other people's money and as long as it's NOT going to Border Security, the Military and the safety of The American people, they're happy. Speaking of our Health & Safety: There's a special place in hell for "judge" Roberts. .

The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Iraqi Bank for Trade, Faisal Al-Hims, said that the risks to the classification is balanced at the moment, pointing to the importance of the role of security stability in the country in recent times in improving indicators of foreign investment and the recovery of the commercial market. He added that the strength of the balance sheet, the high level of profitability in the bank's business, liquidity and diversification strategy in the corporate and retail sectors have confirmed the growth rates and the resulting employment opportunities, the high creditworthiness of the Iraqi economy and the quality of services provided to Iraqi citizens. According to the statement, the total value of assets of the Iraqi Trade Bank at the end of 2017 about 19.3 billion dollars, net profit was 362.43 million dollars.

Saturday Guru Opinions - 12/22/2018 12-22-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Iraq is slotted to be a “central hub” of commerce for the Middle East. But a dinar rate of just 1/8 of a penny is not sufficient to make this happen! 12-22-2018 Newshound/Intel RVAlready [Finding it a little hard to believe that everything is done, since they keep stalling.] ...hate to say it, but I think the target has been 1 Jan 2019 for quite a while. They just kick the can from one target date to another. This time, everything actually looks ready to go. 12-22-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...There will never be a re-instatment. A currencies appreciation depends on a countries economic success. Nothing happens overnight. Nothing is happening through the end of the year... Iraq has much yet to do before they can begin to float the dinar. 12-22-2018 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready The RV seems poised to go. I think it is a high priority item for Iraq at this point. They have invested a lot of time doing all the preparatory steps. I do not think they will put it on the back burner at this point. 12-22-2018 Intel Guru RayRen98 The vote on the 5 remaining cabinet members is supposed to take place on Saturday. These are reported as new names for consideration. It appears that the citizens are not happy with these new candidates...Time Will Tell. On Iraqi TV, requests for Mahdi to show the economic reform were sporadically broadcast.

CHEERS!

***/// We sure hope that's what he was eluding to, PITCH.... in lieu of the scenario we laid out... As we've already witnessed the demonrats' extreme disregard for our Rule of Law, their packed kommie kourts like The 9th Circus, etc... NO TRUE JUSTICE to be had there... It may well HAVE to be our Commander-In-Chief taking the Military Tribunal route to extricate the vile vermin embedded by barak-the-kommie tool. .

Synopsis, I was thinking maybe using the military to go after the Deep State people in our Government who need to be indicted for treason and an attempted coup. Could get interesting.

Haha. You guys are getting me excited afain, stop it.

I’m a Trump supporter but not a military person. Having noted that, it does concern me that Trump isn’t listening to his top military advisors in this matter. The last thing, imo, that we need in the Middle East is a Russian/Iranian stronghold in Syria. Plus, what happens to the Syrians who helped the US against Assad? Hope we don’t see ISIS raise it’s ugly head again. Only time will tell.

***/// So the Kurds & Iraqi's will get it together & help each other out -- FINALLY. Looks like somebody (Iraq) is putting on their big boy pants and manning up ! Thanks, 6LY410! They'll have to take care of each other from now on - now that their babysitter - Uncle Sam has left the room. It's either that or both be Pac-Manned by Iran. Now that barak hussein ho'bummer ain't around to throw money at Iran, and the Chi-Coms & Putin'll be spread so thin, they'll be gunnin' for some other countries' oil fields... Watch out Iraq & Kurds !!!! .

FlyHi, a most interesting hypothesis. I would like to hear more, can you give us a little more of what you are thinking. Have you heard or read about this possibility and if so could you post a link. Thank you.

For it is written, “ the Holy Spirit expressly says that in the last days they (liberals) will call good evil and evil good.” Think about what God prophesied here and compare it to almost every liberal agenda currently.

Hmmm I am wondering another possibility in his resignation. As an outsider looking in one has to wonder why all these ex military guys Kelly, Rogers, Sessions & now Mattis have resigned or been removed from their positions around Trump. I wonder if a military tribunal is being planned and these men will run it.....

Would love to see a Green Christmas.

***/// This is the American Hero & Patriot the BOSTON ANGLER accuses of being a lying, cheating thief who is putting one over on all of US. .

Go President D-REX Trump ! This morning I'm going to give you and my family a gift. If the government won't protect my family I will ! $80 coming your way ! Dang it feels good to give.

They are moving from Syria to Iraq. Trump knows what he is doing. He is not stupid He is brilliant man, we care about Iraq only It is all about money.GO TRUMP!!!

What deep things retired men think about !!! I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down to a cold beer. The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking. My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing, and I said, "Nothing." The reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is because she then would have asked, "About what?" At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions. Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the crotch? I've heard women maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the crotch, but how could they know? Well, after another beer, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question. Getting kicked in the crotch is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn't really know, here is the reason for my conclusion. A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child." On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the crotch." I rest my case. Time for another beer, and then, maybe a nap. 64 Comments
