__***Ted Cruz Calls for $14 Billion Seized from ‘El Chapo’ to Fund Border Wall***__
http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2017/04/25/ted-cruz-calls-14-billion-seized-el-chapo-fund-border-wall/
Quick rundown:
- El Rato story arc, use the money from criminal asset forfeiture to build wall
- Legislation has been posted and will apply specifically only to actual criminal forfeiture of a member of a drug cartel

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced a bill calling for the use of $14 billion seized from cartel drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to be used to pay for the President’s border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

“Fourteen billion dollars will go a long way toward building a wall that will keep Americans safe and hinder the illegal flow of drugs, weapons, and individuals across our southern border,” Senator Cruz stated, according to a statement obtained by Breitbart Texas from the senator’s office. “Ensuring the safety and security of Texans is one of my top priorities.”

The Texas senator said that leveraging criminally forfeited assets from El Chapo and other Mexican cartel members and drug dealers can “offset the wall’s cost and make meaningful progress toward achieving President Trump’s stated border security objectives.”

__**Twice the price of Clinton: Obama to net $400K for Wall street speech**__
https://www.rt.com/usa/386134-obama-wall-street-speech/
Quick rundown:
- Obama start doing "speaking" events where people pay him $400k to give a speech. Twice the price for Hilldog
- POTUS salary is $400k annual

Former President Obama is set to net $400,000 for speaking at a Wall Street health care conference; that's nearly twice what Clinton was paid to become one of the most expensive speakers on Wall Street.

Obama will be the keynote speaker for one day and has signed a contract although a formal announcement is being coordinated. Fox Business said it confirmed Obama’s appearance with senior members at Cantor, a financial services firm.

The former president’s reported speaking fee is near twice the price commanded by Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.

Obama won’t be the first former president or politician to accept large fees for speaking to business groups. All ex-president get pensions, to the tune of $205,700 annually, and the amount increases to keep up with inflation.

Bill and Hilary Clinton have reportedly been paid upwards of $200,000 per speech over the years, with Bill receiving over $500,000 for some guest-speaker engagements.

Joining her parents, Chelsea Clinton commands a speaking fee of $75,000 according to the New York Times. The fees go directly to the Clinton Foundation.

A third flag will join the U.S. and Florida ones on Wednesday at Belleview’s City Hall to honor Confederate History Day.

The third national Confederate flag, also known as the “blood-stained banner,” will be raised to half-staff around 7:30 a.m. to honor Confederate veterans. The local Sons of Confederate Veterans unit has performed this tribute ceremony for more than 10 years.

Sons of Confederate Veterans 8th Brigade Commander Chuck Kadel said it is important to recognize all American veterans.

“*(Confederate veterans) were veterans just as American veterans are,*” he said.

April is recognized by the state of Florida as Confederate History Month. A Belleview city proclamation passed April 4, which will be read at the flag raising ceremony, states that Florida supplied the greatest percentage of its population as soldiers compared to all other Confederate states. Further, one-third of the Floridian soldiers did not return from war.

Being the least populous state, Florida provided 15,000 soldiers to fight in the war, 5,000 of which were killed, according to a website called “*Exploring Florida*,” curated by the Florida Center for Instructional Technology at the University of South Florida.

😂 __***‘Immortal’ psychic accidentally stabs himself to death***__ 😂
*https://goo.gl/kGwFD7*
*NY POST*

A psychic medium died after reportedly stabbing himself in the heart during a bungled act to prove his immortality.

Theprit Palee, 25, had been performing a traditional dance in front of spectators in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, yesterday afternoon.

The folk ritual is believed to honor the spirits of ancestors and in previous shows Palee would impress onlookers by appearing superhuman when the blade broke as it was pressed against his chest.

But the well-known clairvoyant’s act is reported to have gone horrifically wrong when he accidentally plunged the blade inside him after it failed to snap.

Crowds are said to have gathered round the man as they tried to revive him but he was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

*THE WASHING POST*

The University of California at Berkeley is bracing for massive protests and potential violence in an open, public space known as Sproul Plaza after learning that conservative commentator Ann Coulter plans to give a speech there **Thursday afternoon.**

The state flagship university has become ground zero for an intense confrontation between the far left and the far right since Donald Trump’s election in November, with some protesters trying to stop controversial speakers from appearing on campus and others objecting that such actions violate their right to free speech.

Some of the clashes have devolved into riots, leaving the school and city to struggle with how best to balance the free exchange of ideas with community safety.

In February — and twice more since then — masked extremists turned protests over the boundary between free speech and hate speech into violent confrontations, setting fires, causing injuries and leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars of property damage in their wake.

*“The character of that attack on campus was unprecedented,”* UC-Berkeley chancellor Nicholas Dirks said Tuesday.

*“If somebody brings weapons, there’s no way to block off the site, or to screen them,”* Dirks said, noting that officials know that some of the demonstrators, such as those known as Black Bloc, know how to penetrate the crowd and use it as a shield. *“In an open space, you have almost no control over that,” he said. “The challenges are immense.”*

🇷🇺 __***Islamism, liberalism & pseudo-communism threats to civilized world – senior Russian senator ***__ 🇷🇺
*https://goo.gl/VWV1jl*
*RT*

Islamic fundamentalism, North Korea’s pseudo-communist ideology and Western liberalism are the triple threats currently facing the civilized world, Senator Konstantin Kosachev has warned.

*“The three ideological fundamentalisms are currently as follows: Islamism, personified by Islamic State [IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL]; a pseudo-communism, manifested by the DPRK [North Korea]; and the liberal-globalization represented by certain elites of the West.*

*“These threats are, of course, unequal in scope and ideological roots, but they have much in common: each resorts to blackmail and threats, as well as use of force, visual and media effects, relying on __zombie activists ready for everything for the sake of an idea__,”* Kosachev, the head of Russia’s upper house Committee for International Relations, wrote in an opinion piece published in Izvestia daily on Monday.

*“There is a small hope that, having ceased to feel like life is a ‘sinking ship’, the global liberal elites will calm down a bit and, among other things, will reduce the tonality of their campaigns against the external ‘enemies of European values’, among which Russia is the main one.*

*“Otherwise, the third global threat – the threat of Western fundamentalism – will continue to be relevant with its readiness to organize a ‘__liberal jihad__’ in the form of another coup d’état, ‘humanitarian intervention’ or ‘color revolution’ anytime, anywhere in the world,”* Kosachev concluded.

A Palm Beach, Florida high-school senior decided to make a political statement using her prom dress, which showed pictures of 15 African-Americans who were killed in police-involved shootings, including Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, and Michael Brown.

Milan Bolden-Morris, 17, told designer Terrence Torrance, who described the dress as “pretty with a purpose,” “O.K., I’ll do whatever you need me to do.” She added, “I feel like it was a very vital issue.” Torrence had designed Morris’ cousin’s wedding dress.

Morris posted a picture of herself in the dress on Instagram with this statement: “Yes I'm black. Yes I'm 17. Yes GOD is using me to convey a message that's bigger than me. #AllLivesMatter️#BlackLivesMatter #MoveWithPurpose.”

After she wore the dress to the Pahokee High School prom last Friday, Morris told CNN, “When someone loses a mother, father or child in unnecessary circumstances, it should not be overlooked but addressed.” Torrence said, "With all the killings that was going on, it just hit me one day: you should put that into a dress. I wanted to paint a picture and put a story out there through my fashion, and I wanted to show we could spread out message with not just posters and fliers but also with garments.”

Morris, who played basketball in high school, will attend Boston College in autumn 2017.

🇺🇸 __***White House slams 'egregious' ruling on sanctuary cities***__ 🇲🇽
*https://goo.gl/2f1o5N*
*SOURCE*

The White House on Tuesday rebuked a federal judge's decision to block a Trump administration directive aimed at stripping funding from *"sanctuary cities,"* calling the court decision yet another case of *"egregious overreach by a single, unelected district judge."*

Earlier Tuesday San Francisco-based U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick blocked President Donald Trump's administration from enforcing a portion of its Jan. 25 executive order that would halt federal funding to municipalities that did not uphold federal immigration laws.

In a statement released Tuesday night by the press secretary's office, the White House claimed the ruling undermined the American political system.

*"Today, the rule of law suffered another blow, as an unelected judge unilaterally rewrote immigration policy for our Nation,"* the statement read.

The White House added: *"This case is yet one more example of egregious overreach by a single, unelected district judge. Today’s ruling undermines faith in our legal system and raises serious questions about circuit shopping."*

A man has been charged with fatally shooting a Marine in the drive-thru of a McDonald's in Bedford, Indiana, according to police and NBC affiliate WTHR.

Justin Lampkins, 25, was in a truck with his friends in line at the fast food restaurant early Saturday morning about 1:19 a.m., police say. The Marine Corps veteran was involved in a fight after *“a horn was sounded”* in the line and Evan Schaffer, 22, got out of his car and punched Lampkins, WTHR reports.

Police say it's unclear who honked the horn.

*"The victim shoved the accused back, the accused then presented a handgun,"* Bedford assistant police Chief Joe DeWees told WTHR.

Police said Schaffer shot Lampkins in the chest before fleeing the scene. Lampkins was taken to Indiana University Health Bedford where he later died, according to a police department Facebook post.

*DAILY MAIL*

A Jack Russell terrier has undergone a sex change operation after vets discovered she was born with both male and female genitalia.

Molly was found to be *'overly-excited'* due to the fact she had two sets of sex organs.

Vets said that despite appearing to be completely female to those that met her, she was in a significant amount of discomfort because of her external genitalia.

Molly's pain meant that she __underwent a gender reassignment operation__ at the *Pets'n'Vets Family's Roundhouse Hospital* in the Pollokshaws area of Glasgow.

As Molly underwent surgery, it was found that the dog had male internal sexual organs as she had testicles in place of ovaries within her abdomen.

Veterinary surgeon Ross Allan said that if Molly was left untreated then she risked developing a long-term debilitating condition.

China is talking with the European Space Agency about collaborating on a human settlement on the moon. The secretary general for China's space agency, Tian Yulong, disclosed the talks today in Chinese state media.

The ESA has previously described its *'Moon Village'* as a potential international launching pad for future missions to Mars. Further details on what the collaboration could entail were not revealed. But last year, the head of the ESA elaborated on plans to build a village on the moon.

*'The future of space travel needs a new vision,' said Jan Woerner. The concept is a base for lunar exploration by humans and robots, which would act as a stopover for spacecraft, and become a 'village' with mining and even tourism.

*'Right now we have the Space Station as a common international project, but it won't last forever,'* said Woerner.

*'If I say Moon Village, it does not mean single houses, a church, a town hall and so on. No, that would be misleading. My idea only deals with the core of the concept of a village: people working and living together in the same place. And this place would be on the Moon.'*

🇱🇷🇱🇷 🇱🇷 ***99 Percent Chance of Violence if Ann Coulter Speaks at Berkeley get hyped.*** 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

Law enforcement sources have told Fox News that there is a “99 percent” chance of violence on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley if conservative author and commentator Ann Coulter speaks on Thursday.

Once known as the home of the Free Speech Movement, UC Berkeley has become a virtual no-go zone for conservative speakers, from libertarian entrepreneur Peter Thiel (chased offstage by a mob in 2014), to gay conservative writer Milo Yiannopolous (shut down by riots in February). Berkeley administrators and police have refused to intervene to stop students and off-campus activists, and to protect the exercise of First Amendment rights.

Coulter was invited to speak by the Berkeley College Republicans, Young America’s Foundation (YAF), and a student dialogue group called BridgeCal. The event was set for April 27, but the UC Berkeley administration canceled the event. It offered alternative dates, ostensibly because they would be more manageable from a security standpoint. But Coulter refused to bow to the “heckler’s veto” — or, more accurately, “rioter’s veto” — over when she would speak.

Now, Coulter is planning to show up on campus Thursday regardless. She is expected to speak outdoors in Sproul Plaza, which is a designated free speech area on campus, and the site of the 1964 demonstrations that launched the Free Speech Movement. (No time has yet been set for the speech.) Fox reports that police are bracing for riots by leftists, anarchists, and so-called “anti-fascist” activists, whether or not Coulter actually appears on campus and tries to speak.

🇺🇸 __***Terrorist March For Women Organizer To Be Deported After Revealing She Lied To Illegally Obtain Citizenship***__ 🇺🇸
*https://goo.gl/Za3szi*
*THE DAILY WIRE*

On Tuesday, a 69-year-old Arab female pleaded guilty to having illegally obtained her American citizenship in 2004.

Initially coming to America on an immigrant visa in 1994, Rasmieh Odeh swore an oath of allegiance to the Constitution and the nation’s laws in 2004.

During her immigration process, Odeh did not disclose her 1970 conviction in Israel for terrorist crimes related to a 1969 bombing of a Jerusalem supermarket in which two Israeli Jews were murdered. In an interview with an immigration officer, she denied having any criminal history or affiliation with any terrorist organizations.


Despite being sentenced to life imprisonment, Odeh was released by Israel in a “prisoner exchange” with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in 1980.

The PFLP was designated as a terrorist organization by the federal government in 1997, and remains on the State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations. Canada has designated the PFLP as a terrorist organization since 2003.

Initially charged in 2013 with immigration fraud, Odeh was convicted in 2015. She was sentenced to eighteen months in prison out of possible maximum of ten years, subsequently winning an appeal for a new trial. Last week, her defense team reached a plea agreement with prosecutors; she will serve no jail time, surrender her U.S. citizenship, and leave the homeland.

🇺🇸 __***White House unveils dramatic plan to overhaul tax code in major test for Trump***__ 🇺🇸
*https://goo.gl/JCThlo*
*WASHINGTON POST*

President Trump on Wednesday proposed a dramatic overhaul of the tax code, calling for sharply lower rates for individuals and businesses but also eliminating key tax breaks.

The proposal is a one-page outline — key details are left incomplete — but it presents an initial offer to begin negotiations with lawmakers, as White House officials think reworking the tax code is one of their biggest priorities to boost economic growth.

*“We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to do something big and important on taxes,”* White House National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn said Wednesday.

White House officials are ambitious, but the path to overhauling the tax code is riddled with political land mines. Many budget experts say they believe the White House’s plan would reduce federal revenue by so much that it would grow the debt by trillions of dollars in the next decade, growing interest costs and slowing the economy.

*THE GUARDIAN*

The French presidential __frontrunner Emmanuel Macron was met with boos and jeers at a factory picket line__ in northern France after he was upstaged by a surprise appearance by his far-right rival, Marine Le Pen.

Macron arrived in Amiens on Wednesday morning and sat down for talks with union representatives from the factory in the chamber of commerce building. But Le Pen suddenly appeared unannounced at the factory gates and posed with picketing workers live on rolling TV news channels.

She said: **“Everyone knows what side Emmanuel Macron is on – he is on the side of the corporations. I am on the workers’ side, here in the car park, not in restaurants in Amiens.”** She added: **“He’s showing disdain for workers, so I’ve come to see them.”**

Macron, visibly riled, accused her of only turning up for 10 minutes “because I am here” and said it was a mere photo opportunity. He then rushed to the factory gates himself, after Le Pen had gone, and waded into a group of workers. There were boos and jeers when he arrived, but he launched into a heated debate with them that his campaign team live-streamed on Facebook.

Shouting *“listen to me”* and __waving his finger at the workers__, he then passed round a microphone to let them speak. *“I try to fix problems, not exploit them,”* he said, making a dig at Le Pen. *“Getting France back on its feet is going to take time and it will be difficult,”* he added. He said he couldn’t keep the factory open – as Le Pen had promised – but vowed to fight for good terms for the closure.

*THE WASHINGTON TIMES*

The Center for Medical Progress released a never-before-seen video Wednesday showing a top Planned Parenthood executive haggling over the price of baby body parts from abortions.

Mary Gatter, president of the medical directors’ council at the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, is the same executive who, in a previous undercover video, was caught saying she wanted to buy a Lamborghini with the profits from fetal tissue.

In the new video, when an undercover journalist tells Ms. Gatter he is willing to pay $50 per fetal tissue specimen, she says that’s *“on the low end.”*

*“$50 was like 12 years ago,”* she says.

Ms. Gatter also asks the undercover journalist how much fetal tissue he wants to buy.

*“What kind of volume do you need and what gestational ages?”* she says, adding that specimens are available up to 16 weeks.

The video comes as Republicans attempt to redirect Planned Parenthood’s nearly $500 million annual budget toward women’s health clinics that do not perform abortions.

WASHINGTON, United States — The United States pledged Wednesday to step up sanctions to force North Korea to resume dialogue over its nuclear program but said it was not looking to bring Kim Jong-Un’s regime to its knees.

After briefing senators at the White House, top US officials said President Donald Trump wants to use diplomatic measures and new sanctions to pressure Kim.

The president aims to “pressure North Korea into dismantling its nuclear, ballistic missile, and proliferation programs by tightening economic sanctions and pursuing diplomatic measures with our allies and regional partners,” read a statement from Pentagon chief Jim Mattis, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats.

🇺🇸 __***Trump Discovers Obama Was Spending $300 Million on Fake Afghan Soldiers, Gives Pentagon New Orders***__ 🇺🇸

*CONSERVATIVE TRIBUNE*

Millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars were being foolishly wasted paying for the salaries of non-existent *“ghost”* soldiers and policemen in Afghanistan under the Obama administration, but no more.

According to the special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction, John Sopko, who recently sat down for an interview with Sharyl Attkinson of Full Measure, the ongoing problem may have been worse than anyone realized, but was being addressed by President Donald Trump’s Pentagon.

*“We’ve been raising this concern about ghosts going back a number of years,”* Sopko said. “Actually I want to say we heard about it from (Afghan President) Ashraf Ghani years ago, before he became president, he warned me about ‘ghosts,’ so we started looking three years ago.”

*“What we’re talking about are policemen, Afghan policemen, Afghan military, Afghan civil servants who don’t exist or they have multiple identity cards and we’re paying their salaries,”* he explained. *“By ‘we’ I mean the United States and the international community. And we started finding out that we had no capacity to measure the number of soldiers, teachers, doctors, military people who we are paying their salaries.”*

Fox News reported in October that the fraud could have amounted to more than $300 million annually.

Asked if this indicated fraud had been taking place, Sopko replied: *“Major fraud. And what’s happening is the commanders or generals or other higher officials are actually pocketing the salaries of the ghosts.”*

*THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER*

President Trump said Wednesday that he has *"absolutely"* considered proposals that would split up the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, where judges have blocked two of his executive actions.

*"Absolutely, I have,"* Trump said of considering 9th Circuit breakup proposals during a far-ranging interview with the Washington Examiner at the White House. *"There are many people that want to break up the 9th Circuit. It's outrageous."*

*"Everybody immediately runs to the 9th Circuit. And we have a big country. We have lots of other locations. But they immediately run to the 9th Circuit. Because they know that's like, semi-automatic,"* Trump said.

His comments came one day after U.S. District Judge William Orrick temporarily blocked Trump's efforts to withhold funds from any municipality that refuses to cooperate with immigration enforcement officers. Orrick, based in San Francisco, argued that Trump had overstepped his authority in January when he directed the Justice Department to put immigration-related conditions on grants for so-called sanctuary cities that may not be directly related to law enforcement. The case, if appealed, would go before the 9th Circuit.

Trump said Wednesday that opponents of his policies have engaged in *"judge shopping"* in their efforts to find a sympathetic judicial platform for their partisan objections.

*"You see judge shopping, or what's gone on with these people, they immediately run to the 9th Circuit," Trump said. "It's got close to an 80 percent reversal period, and what's going on in the 9th Circuit is a shame."*

*https://goo.gl/KleITv*
*USA TODAY*

Three Islamic State militants setting up an ambush in a bitterly contested area of northern Iraq were killed by a herd of stampeding boars, local leaders say.

Sheikh Anwar al-Assi, a chief of the local Ubaid tribe and supervisor of anti-ISIS forces, told The Times of London the militants were hiding on the edge of a field about 50 miles southwest of Kirkuk when the boars overwhelmed them Sunday. Five other militants were injured, al-Assi said. He said the group was poised to attack a band of local tribesmen who had fled to nearby mountains since militants seized the town of Hawija three years ago.

*“It is likely their movement disturbed a herd of wild pigs, which inhabit the area as well as the nearby cornfields,”* he said.

Al-Assi said the militants had summarily executed 25 people attempting to flee the militant's would-be caliphate in the three days before the boars attacked. Hawija, about 100 miles south of Mosul, sees dozens of residents flee to Kurdish Kirkuk daily, and the Iraqi military has planned to launch an offensive in the region after a laborious effort to liberate Mosul is completed.

*“We know that a massacre took place in Hawija district through our sources,"* al-Assi told the Times. *"This will not be ISIS’s last massacre against citizens."*

An annual community parade in Oregon has been canceled after radicals threatened to shut down the event unless the local Republican Party was banned from participating.

Organizers of the 82nd Avenue of Roses Parade in East Portland received an anonymous email urging them to bar the Multnomah County Republican Party, or **“we will have two hundred or more people rush into the parade into the middle and drag and push those people out.”**

The 82nd Avenue of Roses Business Association issued a statement Tuesday saying that it could *“no longer guarantee the safety of our community and have made the difficult decision to cancel the parade originally scheduled for Saturday, April 29, at 9:30 a.m.”*

*“The related Carnival at Eastport Plaza is also canceled,”* the association said. *“We are deeply disappointed that the agendas of these outside groups have so regrettably impacted East Portland and the 82nd Avenue community.”*

The threatening email, sent by **[email protected]**, referred to previous protests and warned, **“You have seen how much power we have downtown and that the police cannot stop us from shutting down roads so please consider your decision wisely.”**

*REUTERS*

The Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly has called on Hungary to suspend a debate in the country's parliament of bills which tighten rules on non-governmental organizations and foreign universities.

The two bills, drafted by Prime Minister Viktor Orban's right-wing government, have drawn strong protests at home and abroad.

The European Union opened a case against Hungary on Wednesday over the law on foreign universities, which targets a university in Budapest founded by the liberal U.S. financier George Soros.

Orban has advocated an "illiberal democracy" and strong national governments within the EU, which he says are necessary to preserve the European way of life in the face of migration.

His views are at odds with the liberal views promoted by Soros.

Orban has also accused NGOs funded by Soros and operating in Hungary of promoting illegal migration, with what he said were paid political activists serving foreign interests.

The bill debated in the Hungarian parliament would require non-governmental organizations with foreign donations of at least 7.2 million forints to register with authorities and declare themselves as foreign-funded.

Following the cancellation of the Ann Coulter speech at University of California, Berkeley, far-right supporters plan to hold a rally Thursday to denounce what they claim is the attempted silencing of their conservative views, stoking fears of another violent encounter with far-left groups.

UC Police said it was preparing for violence Thursday between militant factions on both sides, even as the speech by the conservative firebrand Coulter was canceled over fears of violence.

Gavin McInnes, founder of the pro-Trump *“Proud Boys,”* said he would fly to Berkeley to speak Thursday and was encouraging other alt-right forces to make a large appearance at the gathering, scheduled for 2:00 p.m. at Civic Center Park.

In a YouTube video, McInnes challenged the so-called anti-fascist groups, *“… our army will be a bigger audience than most of these liberals get when they do talks. So you f***’ed up. Once again, you have created this mythical universe of Nazis on every corner and you’ve tried to shut it down based on that lie. Well, we’re not allowing that to happen. The show must go on.”*

The Proud Boys call themselves Western chauvinists who *“refuse to apologize for creating the modern world.”* They flooded Berkeley in huge numbers earlier this month and appear to be amassing a return visit from such characters as the *“Based Stickman”* and others who have made their name with violent responses to the antifa (anti-fascist) anarchists.

Late Wednesday, the City of Berkeley urged peaceful demonstrators in a press release to keep a distance from those violent groups on both sides, and not to get baited by provocateurs.

***Donald Trump to sign executive order withdrawing US from Nafta

The draft order is in the final stages of review

WE WILL NO LONGER SURRENDER THIS COUNTRY OR IT'S PEOPLE TO THE FALSE SONG OF GLOBALISM***

https://www.google.com/amp/www.independent.co.uk/news/donald-trump-nafta-executive-order-trade-deal-us-america-leave-latest-a7703926.html%3Famp

Donald Trump's team is readying an executive order to take the US out of the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta), it has been reported.

Withdrawing from the trade agreement between Canada, Mexico, and the US was one of Mr Trump's key promises on the campaign trail in 2016. He claimed it is a "job killer" and was antithetical to his "America First" approach to governing.

The order has been submitted for final review to the appropriate teams within the White House and may be signed as early as the next few days.

🇭🇺 __***George Soros ‘Has Ruined the Lives of Millions of Europeans’ Says Hungarian Prime Minister***__ <:jewstar:285075531609669632>

*BREITBART*

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán delivered a stinging speech in the European Parliament Wednesday, asserting Hungary’s right to self-governance and defending its actions regarding immigration and against American financial speculator George Soros.

*“I know that the power, size and weight of Hungary is much smaller than that of the financial speculator, George Soros, who is now attacking Hungary,”* Orbán said.

*“Despite ruining the lives of millions of European with his financial speculations, being penalized in Hungary for speculations, and who is an openly admitted enemy of the euro, he is so highly praised that he is received by the EU’s top leaders,”* he said.

The Prime Minister’s address built upon comments he made in an Easter interview with Magyar Idők, in which he stated the motives behind Hungary’s diffidence toward George Soros.

*“There can be no special privileges, and no one may stand above the law – not even George Soros’s people,”* he said.

Through his organisations in Hungary, and hidden from the public gaze, Orbán said, *“George Soros is spending endless amounts of money to support illegal immigration.”*

*“To pursue his interests he pays a number of lobbying organisations operating in the guise of civil society. He maintains a regular network, with its own promoters, its own media, hundreds of people, and its own university.”*

*“I believe that George Soros must not be underestimated: he is a powerful billionaire of enormous determination who, when it comes to his interests, respects neither God nor man,”*

*“Our position is clear: we do not want, and do not think it is in accordance with the founding treaties of the Union, to settle migrants in our country in a mandatory way,”* he said. *“The decision on who we live with can only be made by the Hungarian citizens.”*

*INFOWARS*

Austria’s far-left president, Alexander Van der Bellen, has suggested that one day all women must wear headscarves to fight Islamophobia.

During a talk to students, Van der Bellen said that whilst be believes a woman should wear *“whatever she wants”*, should Austria’s *“rampant Islamophobia continue, there will come a day when we must ask all women to wear a headscarf – all of them! – out of solidarity towards those who do it for religious reasons”*.

Van der Bellen, who was sworn in as president in January after defeating anti-mass migration Freedom Party candidate Norbert Hofer in last December’s presidential re-run, has spoken of his support for abolishing national borders and creating a federal Europe, describing it as a *“project of peace”*.

Whilst running on an election platform in 2007 for the Austrian Greens, Van der Bellen presided over a poster that declared: *“Anyone who loves Austria must be shit.”*

Israeli strikes have hit an arms depot operated by the Lebanese Hezbollah group near Damascus airport, Syrian opposition sources told Al Jazeera.

Witnesses said a total of five strikes occurred near the Damascus airport road, about 25km from the capital, early on Thursday.

Syrian state TV quoted a military source saying rockets fired from Israeli territory targeted a military area in the southwestern part of the airport which caused explosions.

Later on Thursday, Israeli military reported shooting down an aerial *"target"* over the Golan Heights.

Israeli media said residents in the northern Israeli town of Safed reported seeing two missiles being launched and of explosions occurring afterwards.

Al Jazeera's Imtiaz Tyab, reporting from Beirut, said the missiles were so powerful that the impact was felt several kilometres away in the Damascus countryside.

*"In recent weeks, Israel has increasingly carried out a number of strikes against Hezbollah targets for what they describe as a __'red line'__,"* he said.

*CLIMATE DEPOT*

On Eve of DC climate march, drought drops to record lows in U.S. as nearly all extreme weather is either declining or at or near record lows.

*"It is not just droughts that are at or near record levels. On almost every measure of extreme weather, the data is not cooperating with the claims of the climate change campaigners. Tornadoes, floods, droughts, and hurricanes are failing to fit in with the global warming narrative."*

*“Drought in the U.S. fell to a record low this week, with just 6.1% of the lower 48 states currently experiencing such dry conditions, federal officials announced Thursday. That’s the lowest percentage in the 17-year history of the weekly U.S. Drought Monitor report,”* USA Today reported on April 27.

But it is not just droughts that are at or near record levels. On almost every measure of extreme weather, the data is not cooperating with the claims of the climate change campaigners. Tornadoes, floods, droughts, and hurricanes are failing to fit in with the global warming narrative.

Below is a complete rundown of the very latest on extreme weather conditions...

🇸🇾 __***Trump is puppet of US ‘deep state,’ has no ‘own’ foreign policy – Assad ***__ 🇺🇸
*https://goo.gl/9N6bTR*
*RT*

US president Donald Trump is not a truly independent political leader but merely a puppet of US corporations, military and intelligence, and who serves their interests, Syrian President Bashar Assad has told the Latin American TeleSUR TV network.

Trump pursues *“no own policies”* but only executes the decisions made by the *“intelligence agencies, the Pentagon, the big arms manufacturers, oil companies, and financial institutions,”* the Syrian leader said in an exclusive interview with TeleSUR.

*"As we have seen in the past few weeks, he changed his rhetoric completely and subjected himself to the terms of the deep American state, or the deep American regime,"* Assad added.

He referred to the fact that Trump came to power on a political platform promising a departure from the interventionist policy of the previous US president, Barack Obama, but soon forgot his promises and ordered a missile strike against the Syrian air base following a chemical weapons incident in Syria’s Idlib province.
