A federal Appeals Court has backed a North Carolina voter ID law is unconstitutional because it deliberately discriminates against black voters. Three months before election day, the ruling tossed out North Carolina’s requirement that voters prove their identity with a photo ID. It also restored the ability of voters to register to vote on election day and to register to vote before reaching the age of 18. Republican Governor Pat McCrory, who is locked in one of the nation’s tightest governor’s races criticized the ruling by the 3-judge panel as a partisan play to help out Democrats in November’s election. “Photo IDs are required to purchase Sudafed, cash a check, board an airplane or enter a federal courtroom. Yet three Democratic judges are undermining the integrity of our elections.” State Senator Phil Berger and the House speaker, Tim Moore, in a joint statement said: “We can only wonder if the intent is to reopen the door for voter fraud [in the upcoming election.]” Also yesterday, another federal court judge in Wisconsin made a similar decision, loosening the ability of potential voters to get the necessary identification, and even be able to vote if they presented affidavits swearing to their identities. Judge James D. Peterson said: “The preoccupation with mostly phantom election fraud leads to real incidents of disenfranchisement which undermine … confidence in elections.” Donald Trump supporters charged that their confidence had already been shaken during the Republican primary in Wisconsin which was riddled with apparent widespread election fraud. A similar judicial determination made weeks ago in Texas softened the Texas laws demanding photo ID in order to vote. The rulings in all three states are seen as enhancing the Democrat vote in November for Hillary Clinton. I’m still reporting from Washington. Good day.
This is not good. Army Lt. General William Jerry Boykin (Retired) claims that folks with at least sympathies towards the Muslim Brotherhood now hold top security clearances.
Boykin says that Republicans should have listened to Rep. Michele Bachmann who correctly claimed that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Chief of Staff, Huma Abedin had ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
General Boykin further says that politicians on both sides of the aisle are scared to investigate because they fear being branded as “intolerant. The result, continued infiltration by radical Islam.
General Boykin says that people with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood now hold important positions:
“… in every major federal agency.”
General Boykin was one of the original members of the Army’s Delta Force and later served as Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence.

Good evening, I’m still reporting on
Apple To Start Moving IPhone Production To USA
Apple Computer’s CEO, Tim Cook has asked two of its largest Chinese IPhone assemblers to start preparing plans to move production to the U.S.
According to Nikkei Asian Review as quoted by Breitbart:
“Apple asked both Foxconn and Pegatron Corp., the two iPhone assemblers, … to look into making iPhones in the U.S.
“Foxconn complied, while Pegatron declined to formulate such a plan due to cost concerns.”
Silicon Valley had bet heavily on Democrats this year with over 99% of contributions in presidential primaries going to Democrats Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.
After Trump was elected, Silicon Valley tech stocks crashed 9%, while the DOW Jones Industrial Average has streaked to new highs.
Sources close to Trump have implied that Silicon Valley tech firms may suffer from much more than a blinding 45% tariff thrown on their offshore supply chains. Trump may become convinced that they represent a modern-day group of unscrupulous monopolists that may have to be broken up in accordance with the 1914 Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
Enforcing the Sherman Anti-Trust Act would send shock waves through big Pharma as well – according to a recent recommendation of the number-crunching Karl Denninger. In fact, Trump is said to be meeting this evening with a major player in the drug industry, perhaps to get his take on how to bring a more competitive environment into the spiraling costs of drugs to U.S. consumers without destroying the long pipeline costs of new drug research & development.
For Apple, returning jobs to the U.S. won’t be a deal killer. For example, Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou reportedly told Apple that making iPhones in the US means assembly costs would double. However, the current assembly costs are just $12.50 out of a phone that has a retail price of $650, where the current profit margin is about $400 per unit. No wonder Apple is the world’s richest corporation.
However, such a move would unemploy 690,000 Chinese workers – about the size of the total population of Washington, D.C., or Detroit.
So, let’s compare and contrast President-Elect Trump’s first full week of the transition, compared to President Obama’s first 8 weeks after inauguration.
Obama spoke to the first foreign leader 8 weeks after becoming President
Trump has spoken to 26 foreign leaders in the first 8 days.
Trump made peace with Russia
Ford Motor Corp. has shifted its ideas about moving further production out of the US.
And the world’s largest corporation is suddenly contemplating moving its production back to the US, which would provide hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Obviously, the ISIS folk want us to fear them. They want us to hate them.
However, if true, this story must be told.
According to the Facebook page of the Iraqi resistance group, “Mosul Eye”, sharia judges have ruled that ISIS followers were authorized to kill infants with downs syndrome and other disabilities. Reportedly 38 children between one week old and 3 months of age have been killed.
The source is a normally reliable Iraqi resistance group called the Mosul Eye. They report about once a month on their blog on the worsening conditions in this major city in far northern Iraq that was seized by ISIS on June 10, 2014.
At that time nearly a third of the city’s population of 1.8 million fled the advancing ISIS forces.
Today, Turkish, Iraqi and Iraqi Kurdish forces have cut a major supply line into Mosul in anticipation of an upcoming offensive to retake the city – one expected to be very bloody.
However, today, Turkish forces have withdrawn after Iraqi threats.
So, the suffering in Mosul goes on in unspeakable ways. This from the Mosul Eye’s Nov. 16th post:
“ISIL is using every way possible to collect taxes from the Mosulis, daily executions and daily limb amputations of the innocent, apprehensions and detentions, torture and violations in prisons, and with all that, ISIL is trying to paint a Utopian image of Mosul under its rule.
“My brothers and sisters, my sons and daughters, I beg you to think this time with an open mind, with the whole world and future in mind. Every extra day ISIL stays in Mosul means death of a brother, a son, a cousin, a friend, a blood relative, a lover of yours.”
These people long for freedom. This is an example of how hard freedom is to recover once it is lost:
“We say be patient and are a little more, for Freedom is always priceless….
“…you say it out loud that you want to be free, for Freedom requires some sacrifices, and those sacrifices are temporary.
“Freedom is very near my people, and we all will celebrate in plazas of Mosul, and we will dance, just hold on a little bit more.
“Winter is biting on the poor … and their endurance has reached unbearable limit. I tell you ‘Freedom is very near.’”

So we arrived at the event at Pawleys Island, South Carolina 2 hours ahead of the scheduled start time. My wife had hurt her foot the night before so I dropped her off at the back of the line and parked the car.
I found out from a cop that the venue for the event was a large meeting room at a beautiful southern golf club – the Pawleys Plantation Conference center.
So I was walking to the back of the line thinking “Wow, there aren’t many people here.” There were only 2-300 people in front of us. So I asked a cop where the hall was and he said “this is it.” He said it only holds 500 people and that’s packed in.
I had figured we were going to a large hall – 10.000 people at least. I mean, this was the last day before the primary voting.
I had only brought my small video camera and left the small tripod in the car until I had checked out the room. We waited in line for about 90 minutes, but it went really fast. Everyone was laughing and joking – introducing themselves and offering opinions on the race and the candidates.
Before I knew it, we were inside the door and were met by two big Secret Service guys and suddenly we were transported into airport security time. Everything was searched and we walked through a metal detector.
Then we were in the room – a charming southern conference room – like where the Kiawanis Club would hold its annual awards dinner/dance – like about 80 by 120 feet. To my surprise, there was no stage and lectern – just a hollowed out space in the middle.
Wow, if that’s where Mr. Trump is going to speak, we were going to be really close to him – 7 rows back. Before we know it, the rally started exactly on time and suddenly, there he was, Donald Trump like in our living room.
He talked casually, no tension, no notes, just walked around this little pit in the center of the room with a wireless mike. Really unbelievable.
Unfortunately, there was no way I was going to go back outside to get my tripod so I just shot by hand from my seat. It’s not perfect, but it sure is a different view of Donald Trump.
I’m Still reporting from Pawley s Island, South Carolina. Good evening.

Good morning, I’m still reporting on NGOs Smuggling Migrants Into Italy on an Industrial Scale
Italy’s financial problems are being quickly exacerbated by a wave of refugee trafficking from North Africa across 260 miles of the Mediterranean Sea to Sicily or southern Italy.
According to an Amsterdam think tank that monitors European geopolitical and financial instabilities, known as GEFIRA, Italy is being flooded by a migrant invasion from North Africa averaging about 20,000 per month.
The invasion force is actually being helped by the Italian Coast Guard that runs cover for the invasion navy of 15 human trafficking ships.
This private flotilla is owned by various NGOs that do nothing but travel from Italy to just off the Libyan coast, “rescue” their human cargo floating about 6 miles off the Libyan coast, then return to a constantly-changing variety of ports in Sicily or southern Italy.
The trafficking scheme is apparently run by the NGOs but in concert with smugglers, the Mafia, and elements of the Italian government possibly on the take.
Here is a time-lapse view of the ship traffic across the Mediterranean using the website marinetraffic.com, along with a running total of the refugees being dumped in Italy on the right.
According to GEFIRA’s website:
“We have proof that these smugglers communicated their action in advance with the Italian authorities. Ten hours before the immigrants left Libya, the Italian coast guard directed the NGOs to the ‘rescue’ spot.”
For a full account of how these operations are conducted, here is a link to GEFIRA’s story: “Caught in the act: NGOs deal in migrant smuggling” at http://tinyurl.com/SR1379
Notice how one of these ships does not head back to Italy, but takes a sharp left turn to the west.
One has to wonder how so many North-African-looking young males made it to the U.S. southern border?
Could there be some sort of similar operation running into Mexico? But who would be funding that? Perhaps the same person who has been funding other nefarious anti-US operations during the US election season? Developing.

Well finally some good news. According to Rep. Marsha Blackburn’s office, the IRS decided on Monday to investigate the alleged fraud of the Clinton Foundation after dozens of lawmakers over the past 12 months have been calling for it.
Let’s go to our government crimes expert, Beth Still for a report.
Beth, we understand that IRS Commissioner John Koskinen has actually given you exclusive news to break tonight.
[insert]
So there it is folks, the IRS has thrown its swat team at this investigation and in just 72 hours has cleared Bill, Hillary and Chelsie Clinton of all charges of wrongdoing in the Clinton Foundation pay-to-play scandal. Their exhaustive 1-page report noting that although the evidence of multiple felonies is very strong, a federal prosecutor would have to be out of his mind to pursue such charges.
So that wraps up this problem for the Clintons, now let’s return to the final evening of the Democratic National Convention.
I’m still reporting from Washington. Good day.

Donald Trump says Ted Cruz stole the election in Iowa and is demanding a revote due to fraud on the part of the Ted Cruz campaign.
Starting at 8:47 this morning, Trump sent out a series of 5 tweets that laid out his grounds for a redo election:
“Ted Cruz didn't win Iowa, he stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated. Bad!”
Trump blasted Cruz’s dirty tricks campaign involving a fake message that Dr. Ben Carson was quitting the race just as the caucuses were getting ready to vote:
“During primetime of the Iowa Caucus, Cruz put out a release that @RealBenCarson was quitting the race, and to caucus (or vote) for Cruz.”
In another tweet, Trump explained how the fraud changed the election:
“Many people voted for Cruz over Carson because of this Cruz fraud. Also, Cruz sent out a VOTER VIOLATION certificate to thousands of voters.”
The purpose of the Voter Violation scam was to fraudulently induce people to go the polls to vote for Cruz.
“The Voter Violation certificate gave poor marks to the unsuspecting voter(grade of F) and told them to clear it up by voting for Cruz. Fraud”
Trump also blasted Cruz for lying about Trump’s position on ObamaCare and Choice.
“And finally, Cruz strongly told thousands of caucusgoers (voters) that Trump was strongly in favor of ObamaCare and "choice" - a total lie!”
In Trump’s last tweet of the morning, he then called for a new election in Iowa:
“Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified.”
