Trump Just Destroyed The Deep State And CNN In One Sentence

Since being elected, President Trump has been at war with both the deep state and the media.

CNN has been the worst media offender, oftentimes conniving with deep state officials.

And Trump just destroyed CNN and their pals in the deep state with one sentence.

President Donald Trump is known for refusing to hold back what's on his mind.

It's a big reason so many people love him, and why so many people hate him.

For anyone who unfairly represents him in the media, it is very bad.

Just days ago, President Trump went after James Clapper, calling him a "lying machine,"

while attacking CNN, who is currently keeping Clapper on as a contributor.

James Clapper was taken on as a contributor just months after he used his position as

Director of National Intelligence to give CNN and other left-wing media outlets cause

to release the now highly discredited anti-Trump dossier.

Clapper also spoke to CNN's Jake Tapper about the dossier prior to it being released

to the public by BuzzFeed.

Despite it being well known that Clapper spoke to CNN about the dossier, he initially denied

that happened.

Trump's tirade against James Clapper comes in response to a Fox & Friends segment where

former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino claimed that Clapper had been dishonest about the

dossier.

Bongino called Clapper a "conniving snake" carefully choosing his every move with the

ultimate goal of getting the dossier released to the media.

That appears to be exactly what he did.

While in communication with CNN he convinced Robert Mueller to brief the President on the

dossier to use as pretext to release it to the public.

As reported by The Daily Caller:

"PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP ATTACKED JAMES CLAPPER ON SATURDAY MORNING CALLING HIM A "LYING

MACHINE" AND CRITICIZING "FAKE NEWS" CNN FOR KEEPING CLAPPER AS A CONTRIBUTOR.

TRUMP WAS RESPONDING TO A "FOX & FRIENDS" SEGMENT DURING WHICH FORMER SECRET SERVICE

AGENT DAN BONGINO CLAIMED THAT CLAPPER HAD BEEN DISHONEST ABOUT THE RUSSIAN DOSSIER.

CLAPPER, WHO HAD INITIALLY DENIED TALKING TO THE PRESS ABOUT THE DOSSIER, ADMITTED LATER

THAT HE HAD DISCUSSED IT WITH CNN'S JAKE TAPPER.

BONGINO, REFERRING TO CLAPPER AS A "CONNIVING SNAKE," WALKED THROUGH THE CHAIN OF EVENTS,

SUGGESTING THAT EVERY MOVE WAS INTENTIONAL AND DESIGNED TO GET THE CONTENTS OF THE DOSSIER

RELEASED IN THE MEDIA.

BONGINO ALSO POINTED OUT THE EFFORTS MADE BY FORMER FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY TO FURTHER

THAT GOAL, MAKING IT CLEAR THAT HE WAS NOT BUYING COMEY'S ANSWER TO FOX NEWS ANCHOR

BRET BAIER REGARDING THE DOSSIER'S SOURCE OF FUNDING."

James Clapper's role in getting the Russia dossier released to the media shows just how

dedicated he was to bringing down the President.

Despite the fact that the claims in the dossier were lies, and it was funded by his political

opposition, he took advantage of his position of power to get it released in

the media.

Russia accuses US of DIVIDING Syria through illegal airstrikes in BLISTERING attack - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 3:04.

Russia accuses US of DIVIDING Syria through illegal airstrikes in BLISTERING attack

RUSSIA's Foreign Minister has accused the US of trying to divide Syria while ignoring

international law by launching missiles into the war-torn country.

Sergey Lavrov made the accusations on Saturday while meeting his Turkish and Iranian counterparts

in Moscow for talks on the seven-year Syrian war.

Mr Lavrov said: "While we are building options for peace, some of our other colleagues are

trying to destroy the results of our joint constructive efforts, not even following the

international law, like in the recent operation of the US, UK and France against Syria."

The airstrike on April 14 targeted suspected chemical weapons infrastructure following

an alleged chemical weapons attack on Douma, which has been blamed on the Assad regime.

At least 75 people are said to have been killed by the attack, but Syria has denied responsibility.

Mr Lavrov said the airstrikes "seriously aggravated the situation".

The foreign minister added US statements about supporting the territorial integrity of Syria

"are only words that, apparently, cover plans for reformatting the Middle East and

plans for dividing Syria into parts".

He also said Russia, Iran and Turkey will work together to ensure that won't happen.

The meeting was to prepare the groundwork for the ninth round of Asanta talks, aimed

at ending the violence in Syria, which are to be held in Kazakhstan next month.

They said the Asanta process is the only way of reducing tensions.

Talks between the three nations have regularly taken place since 2017 in the Kazakh capital,

Astana.

They are meant to complement the UN-led peace process.

Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said it is important to work with the UN to

ensure the legitimacy of political solution in Syria because a military solution would

be illegal and unsustainable.

But the opposition in Syria, which is backed by the US, UK and France, have been adamant

that a political solution cannot include Assad, which Turkey believes too.

Al Jazeera's Rory Challands from Moscow said: "Turkey has always felt that Assad

should not really be a part of Syria's constitutional future.

"The Russians have always said that the opposition needs to get rid of these preconditions

because they are destructive to Syria's peace prospects."

The Role of State Solicitors General [POLICYbrief] - Duration: 4:21.

State solicitor generals typically are chief appellate advocates for their states.

That involves state agencies, it involves defending state laws.

Essentially, we do represent the state, but as the state has been sued as a specific entity or person.

The decision to have a solicitor general or not depends upon the elected public officials

in that state.

In many states, the solicitor general office was created by, uh, the legislature, like in Wisconsin,

and in some states, it was just created as a position appointed by the attorney general

without legislative author- authorization.

In many places, it's a newer development.

It's sort of coincident with the rise of appellate practice as an acknowledged specialty.

In order to protect the interests of your states and their citizens, it's important

to have an office of lawyers dedicated specifically to appellate litigation, core experts in that field.

The duties of an SG will vary state by state, and that's typically defined by the attorney

general, or maybe the attorney general in conjunction with the solicitor general.

And, so there's no standard set of duties.

Um, in Georgia, the SG wears a lot of hats.

The SG is actually reviewing, or having some strategic partnership on almost every appellate

brief that comes through the office, both on the state level, and on the federal level.

In different states, the job is composed a little bit differently, but in Arizona, we

oversee both criminal and civil appeals through the SG's office.

Some of the large cases that we've handled in the state of Wisconsin's solicitor general

office involve defenses of the laws the Wisconsin legislature has enacted.

The attorney general takes it very seriously, that's he sworn a duty to defend the state's

laws, and so we- we defend them as much as we can, and that can be a challenge sometimes,

it- it certainly involves sometimes taking positions that are not the same I would take

as a- as a voter, or as a legislator.

The work of, uh, pushing back against federal overreach has become sort of a hallmark of

state SG offices now.

So, when states band together in litigation to- to fight some kind of cause together,

or to present some kind of case together, those typically are managed by the solicitor

general's unit.

And an area where that's happened a lot recently is in the area of federal overreach.

That's a new role practiced by both blue and red states alike now, that has sort of elevated

state attorneys general in their- in their role as a check against the federal government.

I'm basically a professional sore loser.

The resolution on some of those federal regulation questions could affect dozens, if- if not

all of the states.

The number of states with SGs is growing.

There are a lot more of us now then there- then there once were.

It's good, because it gives, uh, the counsel that states need in order to uphold the- the

work of democracy.

You spend your whole day running around doing really fun, and exciting, and engaging things,

but it's almost never the thing you thought you were doing when you showed up for work that day.

So, I think that's one of the more fun things about the job, but it's also something that

makes it challenging.

This is the nerdiest occupation in the world.

It is a gift if you love the law, if you really love to do brief writing, and legal research,

and sort of build out arguments that are based on the law.

I think it is increasingly common for young attorneys to want to go back home, or to go

to other states, and to serve the states, whether it's their home state or a different state.

And, in that way, the evolution of the SG's office has been a great thing.

Because, I think it's encouraged young attorneys to go back home, and to enter into public

service.

It is amazing to me to think that we have put together a network of state-level civil

servants, who are so interested in federalism.

State solicitor generals do a lot of exciting work, uh, in- in courts of appeals, at both

the state and the federal level, and they often provide a great opportunity for younger

lawyers to get experience in courtrooms, especially in appellate courtrooms, which may not be

available in other- in other jobs, especially in the private sector.

I think it's inspiring to see how many people take that so seriously, that they're willing

to move across the country, take pay cuts, and- and really devote some serious time and-

and energy to putting together briefs, and- and arguments on these important issues.

As Caravan Of Migrants Reaches U.S. Border, Team Trump Delivers Nasty Surprise - Duration: 4:53.

As Caravan Of Migrants Reaches U.S. Border, Team Trump Delivers Nasty Surprise

As the caravan of migrants from Central America reached the U.S.-Mexico border, President

Donald Trump's team delivered a nasty surprise that they weren't expecting.

Liberals are going to hate this move.According to Daily Caller, the Department of Justice

(DOJ) filed criminal charges against 11 individuals believed to be part of the caravan of Central

American migrants seeking asylum in the United States on Monday, April 30, 2018.

The DOJ issued a press release which said that Border Patrol agents were able to apprehend

the individuals a few miles west of the designated border crossing in San Ysidro, California.

"The United States will not stand by as our immigration laws are ignored and our nation's

safety is jeopardized," Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement.

The individuals taken into custody were charged with knowingly and willingly entering the

U.S. at a time and place other than one designated by immigration officers.

The arrests occurred one day after the group of 150 – 200 immigrants from Central America

arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border.

A spokesperson for the Customs and Border Patrol said in a statement that the agency

began processing the requests for asylum from some members of the caravan on Monday, April

30, 2018.

Those who could not be processed immediately were advised to remain in Mexico until space

becomes available.

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen had previously warned that the federal government

would arrest and prosecute illegal immigrants for entering the country unlawfully.

The caravan, which had originally numbered over 1,000 members, broke down into smaller

groups over the past couple of weeks.

President Donald Trump referenced the caravan's progress to push for stricter immigration

laws and to talk about why we need a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

In one message that he sent out on Twitter, Trump blasted our current federal policies.

"The migrant 'caravan' that is openly defying our border shows how weak & ineffective

U.S. immigration laws are.

Yet Democrats like Jon Tester continue to support the open borders agenda – Tester

even voted to protect Sanctuary Cities.

We need lawmakers who will put America First," Trump wrote.President Donald Trump openly

rebuked Montana Democratic Senator Jon Tester in the tweet for his support for the open

borders agenda.

Notably, Tester came under fire from the President after he spread malicious rumors about Rear

Admiral Ronny Jackson who was nominated to become the next Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

As reports of the caravan's arrival at the border hit the news, Vice President Mike Pence

paid a visit to Border Patrol agents in Calexico, California to reaffirm his and Trump's commitment

to reforming immigration and building a wall.

"It's not just about a wall, the President and I are determined to work with the Congress

to fully fund the wall, to build the entire wall but we have to fix our immigration system.

We have to close the dangerous loopholes, the kind of provisions in 'catch and release'

and chain migration and our entire system that essentially entice people or entice people

that would take advantage of vulnerable families," Pence said.

"To encourage them to make the long and often dangerous trip up to our border.

We're a country that believes in legal immigration but it's important as I said earlier today

to recognize the people in the caravan," Pence continued.People that come often through

great peril to try and come into this country either by applying for access at our border

or by coming into the country illegally are often victims themselves, exploited by human

traffickers, people that will smuggle individuals into this country for a fee.

Open borders advocates as well have taken advantage of these families," Pence added,

according to Yahoo News.

Many of the families who are brought in caravans up to the U.S.-Mexico border are victims of

human traffickers and smugglers, but more importantly, American citizens are the victims

who end up paying the price for mass illegal immigration.

It's time for Congress to get behind our President and his administration and fully

fund the wall.

why are you criticizing Jim Comey and Andrew McCabe if a friend asked you that

question it wouldn't be hard to answer Comey was the shifty aesthetical FBI

director in memory his deputy Andy McCabe repeatedly lied to federal

investigators you try that you'd wind up in jail

so why criticize these guys because they deserve it but let's say a federal

prosecutor asked you the very same question using this language quote what

is the reason for your continued criticism of mr. Comey and his former

deputy Andrew G McCabe see how the tone is different there suddenly it's ominous

it sounds more like a threat than a question what's the point of asking that

you might wonder since when is criticizing FBI officials a crime in

this country well apparently since Robert Muller became a special counsel

according to New York Times that's one of more than 40 questions Mahler plans

to ask the president under penalty of perjury here's another one quote what

was your opinion of mr. Comey during the transition huh your opinion whose

business is that aren't Americans allowed to have any opinion they want

without being grilled by law enforcement about it and then there's this question

quote what was the purpose of your July 2017 criticism of mr. sessions again

criticism of a government official framed as a crime as if dissenting views

aren't allowed or must be justified to a prosecutor what country is this anyway

in fact the president is allowed to have any opinion he wants of anyone who works

for him that is true of all presidents they get to hire and fire their own

appointees for their own reasons if you don't like it don't vote for them this

is a democracy Trump got elected Muller didn't presidents also get to formulate

their own policies voters can decide whether they agree with those policies

again that's why we have elections yet here are two more Muller questions

listen to these quote what discussions did you have during the campaign

regarding Russian sanctions and quote what involvement did you have concerning

2016 Republican platform changes regarding arming Ukraine so let's review

Trump ran for office promising to improve our relationship with Russia

he said that frequently and in public voters heard it they agreed with

him and he won but permanent Washington hated the idea of getting closer to

Russia they've been pushing a war with Iran for years that's obvious now closer

ties with Russia would make an Iran war far more complicated Putin had to be the

arch evil and the most evil man in the world

never mind China or Mexico or other countries whose behavior is actually

hurting the United States Russia needed to be our enemy a country with an

economy the size of Texas they can't make a working escalator they needed to

be evil no matter what voters said they wanted and so that happened the policies

that Trump ran on are now considered evidence of a crime America is that much

closer to war with Iran mission accomplished

Generating Trade in East Africa is Win-Win for US and Africa - Duration: 3:46.

Hi I'm Miriam, what I love most about this cup of coffee is that it's from

East Africa, where I grew up and where my parents are still coffee farmers.

East Africa is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, from small

farmers to delivery truck drivers and grocery store owners, people rely on

local and regional trade to do business. And for goods of any kind to reach you

halfway around the world, like the beans that made this coffee, the regional

systems of trade need to work well. In a region half the size of the United

States, over 27 million people go to bed hungry and 46 million live in poverty.

This is partly because the region's systems for trade and food security are

still developing and need improvement. With the assistance of the U.S. Agency for

International Development, USAID, local and regional partners are creating

solutions and the region is improving every day.

At the farm level, programs work to improve farming practices

like better seeds and planting techniques to grow more food.

USAID also helps farmers to respond to devastating threats like pests and drought, that destroy crops.

But natural threats aren't the only challenges East Africa faces.

40% of a product's price comes from high

transportation costs, making it hard to do business and even harder for people

living in poverty to make ends meet. That's why USAID is working with local

governments to reduce trade barriers, making the movement of goods at borders

and ports easier, faster, and cheaper.

And it's working!

In recent years, the cost of importing or exporting a shipping container in the

region has been cut in half, and almost all goods entering East Africa clear

customs just once.

As a result USAID helps get nutritious food

to people and communities who need it most, by improving the movement of

staple foods and seeds across borders, and ensuring food is inspected and safe

before it reaches customers.

USAID programs in the region target areas to

boost economic opportunity, increase food security, and connect East Africa with

global markets and businesses.

As doing business improves, USAID helps to

attract more investment to the region

and increase access to capital for local entrepreneurs.

By the way, it's not just East Africans that benefit from these

improved regional systems.

Since 2011, US businesses have exported 37 billion dollars

worth of goods to East Africa,

which support nearly 13,000 American jobs every year.

As the region becomes more self-sufficient and regional

stability increases, USAID's programs are reducing the need for more aid in the future.

So you see, when I look at this cup of coffee, I love it because I see

all the hard work that goes into it, from East Africa to America, and I see all the

opportunities brewing between our nations, thanks to the American people.

• They Shall Not Pass and Dragon's Teeth Now Free | All US and European Players - Battlefield - Duration: 2:04.

So the other day I did a video talking about if all Battlefield 1 expansions would be free

to the public.

Well about 2 days ago we got word that Battlefield 1's They Shall Not Pass DLC and Battlefield

4's Dragon's Teeth DLC is now free to all US and European players.

Just take note that it might be worth looking if these expansions are free in your area,

even if you don't reside in either the US or Europe.

They Shall Not Pass includes 3 new maps and an additional 6 new weapons, 9 if you decide

to count their variants.

Dragon's Teeth includes 4 new maps and 5 additional weapons, Propaganda being one of

the best maps in the entire game.

So if you're interested in jumping on some of the DLC maps or even trying out one of

the new weapons, I definitely recommend getting hold of these expansions.

Battlefield 1 will require you to download a small file which will allow you to gain

access to those maps which are already preinstalled on both the PS4 and XBOX ONE.

Battlefield 4's Dragon's Teeth DLC will require you to download the complete expansion

which will be much larger than They Shall Not Pass.

Hopefully over the next few days DICE will release more expansions to the public in order

to get more players experiencing everything these games have to offer but anyway I hope

you enjoyed this short little video, if you did, smash that like button and hopefully

I'll see you in the next one.

How China is putting the US in a trash crisis - Duration: 1:40.

For years, China was the dumping ground for more than half the world's trash, importing

as much as 47 million tons in 2015.

But China has stopped taking in a majority of that trash, and it's causing problems for

the U.S.

China first started buying up garbage during the 1980s to create recycling and waste processing

industries to boost its economy.

It would collect other countries' scrap paper, metal and plastics and use them to make new

goods that could be exported.

In 2016, the U.S. sent about half of all its recycling to China — about 17 million tons

worth $5.5 billion.

But dealing with all that junk caused drastic environmental problems for China, and in an

effort to curb pollution, it announced it would no longer accept 56 types of solid waste.

In the short term, that's led American trash companies to export to other south Asian countries.

But they can't take in as much trash as China, and they pay much less for it.

That's caused financial problems in the U.S.

The CEO of Waste Management told Bloomberg that since China put bans in place at the

start of the first quarter this year, the company lost $45 million on its recycling

business.

Another disposal company in Virginia said it used to be able to sell paper to China

for $150 a ton, but since the ban, it's been sending it to India — and getting only $13

a ton.

What's more, the U.S. and other Western countries don't seem to have long-term solutions to

the problem, which is leading to massive pileups of garbage.

Waste Management's CEO said while it used to send about 75 percent of its cardboard

to China, it's only exporting about 2 or 3 percent now.
