That Pakistan's new Prime Minister wants to have a positive relationship with America and the same for Guatemala is a positive sign that Trump's blunt foreign policy has merit. When you treat supposed adults like adults and do not pander you get different results.
One of the reasons our State Department generally has been wrong is that they embraced Dr. Spock's theories and nonsense.
Finally, has John Bolton's tough stance begun to wear thin? (See 1 below.)

1) President Donald Trump is considering dumping national security adviser John Bolton, the Washington Examiner is reporting.
The Examiner attributed its information to sources close to the White House.
Trump's frustration with Bolton has boiled over and candidates to replace him have emerged, according to the Examiner. Those candidates include retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor and Ricky Waddell, assistant to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the website noted.
Macgregor recently spoke with Trump but it is not certain why, the Examiner said.
"It's certainly become clear to anyone who knows the way this president operates that Bolton's time is coming to an end," one former White House official told the Examiner. "It's just unclear if he has a few more weeks or a few more months."
Another source said: "The president has seriously been considering other options."
Still another added: "I'd be surprised if [Trump] doesn't want Bolton to quit. That's kind of his MO."
The sources say Bolton's aggressive approach to U.S. enemies has, at times, concerned the president.
In May, Trump noted Bolton's "strong views" and said he was satisfied with the foreign affairs advice he receives from Bolton.
"He has strong views on things but that's okay," Trump said of Bolton. "I actually temper John, which is pretty amazing. I'm the one that tempers him. That's okay. I have different sides. I have John Bolton and other people that are a little more dovish than him. I like John."
1a)The head of Iran’s navy said Tuesday that Tehran is observing all US ships in the Gulf region and keeps an archive of their movements.
1a)The head of Iran’s navy said Tuesday that Tehran is observing all US ships in the Gulf region and keeps an archive of their movements.
“We observe all enemy ships, particularly (those of) America, point-by-point from their origin
until the moment they enter the region,” Rear Admiral Hossein Khanzadi said, according to a
report on Iran’s Young Journalists news site, cited by Reuters.
“We have complete images and a large archive of the daily and moment-by-moment traffic of
the coalition forces and America,” Khandazi added, noting that the images of the vessels were
captured using drones.
The senior naval officer also said that Iran will hold joint naval exercises with “allied
countries” for the first time in March 2020, without specifying which nations would take part in
the exercises.
Khandazi’s statement came amid elevated tensions in the Gulf after Iranian authorities seized a
British-flagged tanker there on Friday.
British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt on Monday said the UK wanted to establish a European
-led maritime protection force for the Gulf but emphasized that London was not seeking a
confrontation.
“We will now seek to put together a European-led maritime protection mission to support the
safe passage of both crew and cargo in this vital region,” Hunt told parliament.
“We will seek to establish this mission as quickly as possible,” he said, adding: “It will not be
part of the US maximum pressure policy on Iran.”
Hunt described Friday’s incident as an act of “state piracy.”
Hunt also said that a British warship, HMS Duncan, that is being dispatched to the region,
would arrive by July 29, joining the HMS Montrose currently in the Gulf.
According to the foreign secretary, all British-flagged ships would be asked to give the British
authorities notice when they plan to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, where Friday’s incident
happened, “to enable us to offer the best protection we can.”
But he added: “It is, of course, not possible for the Royal Navy to provide escorts for every
single ship or indeed eliminate all risks of piracy.”
Iran released new video showing the ship’s crew for the first time on Monday, an apparent
attempt to show they were unharmed. None of the 23 are British nationals. The crew is mostly
Indian, and also includes Filipino, Russian and Latvian nationals.
Friday’s seizure of the Stena Impero came amid already heightened tensions between the US
and Iran stemming from US President Donald Trump’s decision last year to pull the US from
Iran’s nuclear accord with world powers and reinstate sweeping sanctions on Iran.
Iranian officials say the seizure of the British oil tanker was a justified response to the Royal
Navy’s role impounding its Grace 1 supertanker with some 2 million barrels of crude off the
coast of Gibraltar, a British overseas territory located on the southern tip of Spain.
Iran’s government spokesman Ali Rabiei said Monday that there are diplomatic solutions to
the current crisis, but he also defended Iran’s actions.
“When you illegally seize a ship in Gibraltar… we don’t deem it as necessary to show
tolerance,” he said. “Some countries have asked for the immediate release of the British tanker.
Well, we ask those countries to make the same request to Britain first.”
Britain says it acted lawfully off the Gibraltar coast to prevent illegal oil shipments to Syria
that would have violated European Union sanctions while Iran broke international maritime law by forcing the Stena Impero to change course and go to Iran.
Britain says the tanker was in Omani waters at the time, which Iran disputes.
As the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers unravels, the US has expanded its
military presence in the region, while Iran has begun openly exceeding the uranium
enrichment levels set in the accord to try to pressure Europe into alleviating the pain caused by
the sanctions.
European nations are trying to save the nuclear deal and have tried to come up with ways to
keep trading with Iran but have run smack into Trump’s sanctions, which also target Iranian oil
exports.
1b) fears Iran used Russian GPS tech to send
UK tanker off course - report
By TZVI JOFFRE
MI6 and GCHQ are investigating the possibility that Iran used Russian GPS "spoofing"
technology that produces incorrect location data to send the British-flagged Stena Impero off
course into Iranian waters before it was seized by IRGC forces, according to British media
sources.
"Russia has the technology to spoof GPS and may have helped Iran in this venture as it was
extremely brazen," said an anonymous security source in a report published by the Daily Mail
. "It would make British shipping extremely vulnerable and will be of grave concern to Royal
Navy warships in the region."
Iran's Fars news agency said the IRGC had taken control of the Stena Impero on Friday after it
collided with an Iranian fishing boat whose distress call it ignored.
The vessel, carrying no cargo, was taken to the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas. It would remain
there with its 23 crew -- 18 of them Indians -- while the accident was investigated, Iranian news
agencies quoted the head of Ports and Maritime Organisation in southern Hormozgan province
, Allahmorad Afifipour, as saying.
The Strait of Hormuz, between Iran and the Arabian peninsula, is the sole outlet for exports of
most Middle Eastern oil, and the seizure sent oil prices sharply higher. The United States,
which tightened sanctions against Iran in May with the aim of halting its oil exports altogether,
has been warning for months of an Iranian threat to shipping in the strait.
In June, the Israeli Airports Authority announced that pilots were having difficulty landing,
experiencing mysterious disruptions.
Senior Israeli officials said that they believe that Russia had been disrupting civilian aircraft
navigation systems, according to reports. Army Radio called the move a “hostile attack.”
According to the Israeli Airline Pilots Association, the GPS issues were part of a "spoofing"
attack, causing receivers on planes to sometimes report their location as miles away from their
actual location, reported CNN.
A report by the US Center for Advanced Defense Studies in April documented over 10,000
separate incidents of GPS disruption connected to Russia, adding that the country was
"pioneering" the technique to "protect and promote its strategic interests."
Russia has denied the report.
To resolve the issue, Israel sent a defense official to Russia to discuss the disruption, Army Radio
reported.
Reuters and Jerusalem Post Staff contributed to this report.

2) Obama State Department Officials Set Meeting on ‘Russian Matter’ in 2016
The Obama State Department was central to the effort to target President Trump with the Russia smear. We have obtained new emails showing that senior Obama State Department officials advanced the Russiagate hoax just before the 2016 presidential election.
With The Daily Caller News Foundation we have released 84 pages of documents, including a September 2016 email exchange between then-Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Special Coordinator for Libya Jonathan Winer, a close associate of dossier author Christopher Steele, discussing a “face-to-face” meeting on a “Russian matter.”
(In June 2016 Nuland permitted a meeting between Steele and the FBI’s legal attaché in Rome. Nuland told CBS News that the State Department knew about the Steele dossier by July 2016.)
According to an op-ed Winer wrote for The Washington Post in 2018, also in September 2016, “Steele and I met in Washington and discussed the information now known as the “dossier … I prepared a two-page summary and shared it with Nuland, who indicated that, like me, she felt that the secretary of state needed to be made aware of this material.”
The documents we obtained also show that State Department officials continued to use unsecure BlackBerry devices for the transmission of classified material more than a year after Hillary Clinton’s use of an unsecure, non-government email system was revealed.
We obtained the documents in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed on April 25, 2018, on behalf of the Daily Caller News Foundation against the State Department after it failed to respond to three separate FOIA requests (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:18-cv- 00968)). The lawsuit seeks:
- All records of communications between State Department officials, including former Secretary of State John Kerry, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, on the one hand, and British National Christopher Steele and/or employees or contractors of Steele’s company, Orbis Business Intelligence, on the other hand.
- All records and/or memoranda provided by Christopher Steele and/or his firm Orbis Business Intelligence or by others acting on Steele’s/Orbis’s behalf, to State Department officials.
- Any and all records in the custody of the State Department related to the provision of documents to British national Christopher Steele and/or his firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, or the receipt of documents from Steele or his firm. Time period is January 20, 2009 through the present.
- All records created in 2016 by Jonathan M. Winer relating to research compiled by Christopher Steele.
A September 17, 2016, email exchange between Nuland and Winer – which was classified in the interest of national defense or foreign policy – discusses the political situation in Libya, but also brings up a “Russian matter:”

Other emails show senior State Department personnel using unsecure BlackBerrys to transmit classified information even after the Clinton email scandal became public.
Here is some background on these characters.
We recently released 16 pages of documents revealing that Nuland and Winer coordinated with then-House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer’s (D-MD) national security advisor Daniel Silverberg to work on Russia dossier materials provided by Christopher Steele.
In December 2018, we released documents revealing that Nuland was involved in the Obama State Department’s urgent gathering of classified Russia investigation information and disseminating it to members of Congress within hours of Donald Trump taking office.
In a related lawsuit, we are suing the State Department communications between Ambassador Nuland and employees of Fusion GPS, as well as top ranking Department of Justice, FBI, and State Department officials.
We recently released 41 pages of documents from the State Department revealing that Winer, played a key role in facilitating Steele’s access to other top government officials, prominent international business executives. Winer was even approached by a movie producer about making a movie about the Russiagate targeting of President Trump.
Winer was implicated in working with Steele and Clinton associate Sidney Blumenthal to circulate the anti-Trump dossier.
I talked about the dossier-linked State Department officials with Hannity last night. See the interview here.

Fraud: Judicial Watch Has Filed an Ethics Complaint Against Ilhan Omar
By Kate Pavlich
Government watchdog Judicial Watch has filed an ethics complaint with the U.S. House of Representatives Office of Congressional Ethics against Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar over numerous allegations of fraud and repeated criminal action.
"Substantial, compelling and, to date, unrefuted evidence has been uncovered that Rep. Ilhan Omar may have committed the following crimes in violation of both federal law and Minnesota state law: perjury, immigration fraud, marriage fraud, state and federal tax fraud, and federal student loan fraud," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton wrote in a letter to Congressional Ethics Chairman David Skaggs. "Such violations would also breach the Code of Ethics for Government Service, to which all federal officeholders are subject, “Any person in Government service should uphold the Constitution, laws, and legal regulations of the United States and all governments therein and never be a party to their evasion.") Rep. Omar actions in this suspected immigration fraud, marriage fraud, perjurious statements on her Minnesota divorce filings, and falsifications on her tax returns, merit your immediate investigation."
Fitton is calling for a thorough investigation from Skaggs' office and wants details about Omar's potential engagement in immigration fraud.
"Rep. Omar's conduct may include immigration fraud. It appears that Rep. Omar married her brother in order to assist his emigration to the United Stated from the United Kingdom. The same immigration fraud scheme may have aided Mr. Elmi in obtaining federally-backed student loans for his attendance at North Dakota State University. Mr. Elmi and Rep. Omar simultaneously attended North Dakota State University and may have derived illicit benefits predicated on the immigration fraud scheme," he continued.

3) Eat Iran's Lunch Before They Have Us for Dinner
by Tawfik Hamid
Iran has crossed a new threshold in nuclear enrichment. This means that the nine nations in the world's nuclear weapons club soon might be forced to acknowledge a new member. Iran's emergence as a nuclear weapons state, however, if it occurs, will not be merely an addition to the roster of nuclear powers -- it will be a terrifying game-changer.
Iran has already reached uranium enrichment levels of around 4.5 percent, Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, told the semi-official Fars news agency. Mr. Kamalvandi warned that enrichment could reach 20 percent in the future. Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency
have confirmed Kamalvandi's assertions.
Iran's deputy foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, in an apparent attempt to increase pressure on ongoing diplomatic negotiations, said that Iran would exceed some other unspecified limit in 60 days.
Diplomatic efforts notwithstanding, the free world must realize that the threat posed by a nuclear Iran would be different from any other nation obtaining such weapons.
Take, for example, North Korea. Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) could deter its government from attacking the United States because neither its leader, Kim Jung-Un, nor its military personnel, are presumably ready to die in a guaranteed counterstrike by the US or other world powers.
Similarly, Pakistan's military leaders, despite continuing tensions with their nuclear-armed neighbor, India, have expressed no willingness to die as an outcome of initiating a nuclear strike.
The same reluctance seems true for the other seven nuclear powers -- even America. All are governed by people who do not follow suicidal ideologies. For nearly 75 years, the time-tested threat of MAD has effectively prevented the use of nuclear weapons.
Not so in the Islamic regime in Tehran. While many mullahs would doubtless prefer to stay alive to continue ruling the country, there may well be others, true believers, who might not hesitate to use such weapons against others, even if it meant their own trip to oblivion. Embedded in Iran's religious ideology is the wish for an apocalyptic "end of days," to usher back the messianic Twelfth Imam, or Mahdi, after which there will supposedly be justice on Earth. Of course, some of the current leading mullahs may not necessarily choose this suicidal direction. We cannot, however, guarantee what generation of mullahs might become infatuated with the ideology of jihad and martyrdom. In such a case, Mutually Assured Destruction will not deter them, but be, instead, an inducement; and we will then face a very frightening reality.
It is hard to forget that, during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, the Iranian mullahs embarked on a variety of indoctrination campaigns to energize the faithful and encourage them to join the front lines. To entice Iranians to volunteer -- and in some instances, to volunteer their children -- the mullahs promised eternal peace and pleasure in the afterlife. "Plastic keys, ostensibly good for opening the door to heaven, and to erotic and culinary delights, were ... given to these young men, who walked to their deaths," wrote Stanford University's Abbas Milani in a 2007 essay for Boston Review.
In addition, most of the existing nuclear powers operate under systems of government and military control designed to prevent a single dangerous or demented individual from starting a nuclear holocaust. If a military dictator, for example decided to use a nuclear weapon against the US, his leaders might reject this notion: such an act would mean their annihilation. The Shia theocracy in Iran, however, harbors no such restraints. Not a single person in the Iranian power structure can legitimately reject or refuse, or even question, an order from the supreme religious leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
At the very least, Iran, once it had both nuclear weapons and the means of delivering them, would not even have to use them: the threat to do so would be sufficient to blackmail other countries into doing whatever it asked. If it wanted to control the oilfields of Saudi Arabia or its holy cities, Mecca and Medina, how could Saudi Arabia resist? What is Iran now doing in Yemen, at the bottom of the Arabian Peninsula, if not that? What about the tempting oil fields of Abu Dhabi or Kuwait?
Since its revolution in 1979, Iran, often through its proxies such as Hezbollah, has dedicated its resources to expansion and terrorism -- not only in Yemen, but also in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and by funding Hamas in the Gaza Strip -- to create a geographical arc from Iran to the Mediterranean. Iran has also for years been expanding into South America, particularly Venezuela.
In addition, if the Iranian theocracy develops nuclear weapons, their affiliates -- Hezbollah in Lebanon and Ansar Allah (the Houthi rebels) in Yemen -- almost certainly will as well. Such a proliferation would doubtless trigger a nuclear weapons race among the Arab and Muslim states, and international terrorist organizations.
In developing nuclear weapons, time can only work for the benefit of Iran. Therefore, we must place even more pressure on the mullahs to end their threat sooner than later. US President Donald Trump has shown refreshing foresight: Iran, with this regime, must never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon.

4)Kamala Harris Lives in One of the Most Segregated Neighborhoods in Los Angeles
4a) Harvard Grad
Busing is for other people.By Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
Senator Kamala Harris, who lives with her white husband in one of the most segregated neighborhoods in Los Angeles, has come out with a call for busing children to distant schools to fight “segregation”.
That’s great for Kamala, who has no children. Her stepson, Cole, who works at the William Morris Agency, which is about as diverse as his dad and S-Mamala’s Brentwood hood, won’t be bussed to work at more diverse talent agencies, and Ella, won’t be bused from her studies at Parsons School of Design (4% black) to a more diverse design college. Like most politicians, Harris wants to penalize other people.
None of these provisions and solutions to problems that don’t exist will actually apply to her and hers.
If segregation is the mere absence of diversity and requires government intervention, as she insists it does, what is Senator Kamala Harris doing to desegregate her Brentwood neighborhood?
Kamala’s $4.8 million Brentwood home is located in a neighborhood that is 84% white and 1.2% black in Los Angeles, a city that is nearly 10% black.
Senator Harris has come out for busing children to schools that aren’t sufficiently diverse. What about busing some folks from South Central to Brentwood to live across the street from her home?
“There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me,” Senator Kamala Harris whined.
Because the only way a successful Democrat can run for office is by playing the victim.
The truth is that little girl, the privileged daughter of wealthy foreign grad students, wasn’t bused.
She was flown around the world.
That’s not a “right-wing conspiracy theory”, as the media now describes any account fact-checking Kamala Harris’ imaginary past, it’s right there in the words of her own mother who couldn’t stop bragging about the wealth and power that was Kamala’s birthright by way of family and connections.
“When Kamala was in first grade one of her teachers said to me, ‘You know, your child has a great imagination. Every time we talk about someplace in the world she says, ‘Oh, I’ve been there.’ So I told her, ‘Well, she has been there!’”
“India, England, the Caribbean, Africa—she had been there," Kamala's mother told Modern Luxury magazine.
These days, Kamala actually has a great imagination. She has to work hard to imagine being oppressed.
That’s the actual little girl being displayed on those t-shirts that Kamala Harris For the People (the official and officially laughable name of a campaign funded by California millionaires) is selling for $30 bucks."Two decades after Brown v. Board, I was only the second class to integrate at Berkeley public schools. Without that decision, I likely would not have become a lawyer and eventually be elected a Senator from California,” Senator Kamala Harris claimed.
Kamala’s insistence that without busing she wouldn’t have become a lawyer or a senator takes place in an exciting fantasy world in which her wealthy, famous and powerful parents never existed. In the real world, her Brahmin mother, an internationally famous cancer researcher, sending her "Montreal’s tony Westmount" high school probably had a lot more to do with her becoming a lawyer.
Busing certainly didn’t put Kamala Harris on a path to the Senate and the White House. Not unless there were buses running directly to Willie Brown’s house and stopping in a shadowy spot at the back door.It wasn’t civil rights, but an alleged extramarital affair with a dirty San Francisco city boss that made her.
Forget the trauma of busing. To get to where she was, Kamala, at 29, hooked up with Willie, at 60, and ended up in a Brentwood home with no children, but a Senate seat and a shot at the White House.“And that little girl was me.”
It’s understandable politically and personally why Kamala would want to invent a past in which she hadn’t used her privilege and connections as a down payment on ruining her life and selling her soul.
Kamala’s story, in which busing took her out of the grim inner cities of Berkeley, where she had to watch three beatnik poets recite bad verse before she got to her bus stop, and opened the world to her, so that one day that little girl in the old creased photo could aspire to be president, is much nobler.
It’s a much more satisfying story than sleeping with a married politician and getting a BMW and a seat on a commission. There are no t-shirts at Kamala’s campaign store showing her old self driving in Willie’s BMW to the job that Willie got her, attending California Medical Assistance Commission meetings twice a month, for over $120,000 in current dollars, while still managing to miss 20% of them.
That not so little girl was her too.
If Kamala had at least allegedly slept with Willie because she was that “little girl” from the ghetto, clawing her way up the ladder, that would have been understandable. But the story is much worse. Kamala didn’t need Willie Brown to get a good job. She needed him to get jobs she didn’t deserve.
Like the one she has now and the one she wants now.
That’s the truly damning thing
Senator Harris wasn’t a poor little girl from the ghetto. She mingled with the Nob Hill set. Her life was filled with privilege and wealth. It wasn’t desperation. It wasn’t need. It was greed.
Senator Kamala Harris has to reinvent her past because she needs to run as a victim. And because it shifts the social context behind the entire Willie Brown story to make her seem more defensible.
What can you expect from an oppressed little girl from the Berkeley ghetto trying to survive?
It’s not just Kamala rewriting her past. The media is working just as hard to reinvent a woman that the local press had covered thoroughly, while denying all the stories it had written about her in the past.
There’s always been speculation about Obama’s rise in Chicago politicians, but there’s never been much ambiguity about Kamala’s rise in San Francisco politics. We know how it happened and why.
But, now that’s a “right-wing conspiracy theory” even if it appeared in all the big California papers.
Before the media reinvented Kamala Harris as living on a Berkeley plantation with white and colored marijuana dispensaries, the Los Angeles Times had described her as a, “privileged child of foreign grad students”. These days, repeating that will see you accused of spreading right-wing conspiracy theories.
Reality, history and the media’s own stories are all notoriously right-wing conspiracy theories.
But meanwhile “that little girl” lives in one of the most segregated neighborhoods in Los Angeles, without ever saying anything about it, with her entertainment lawyer husband, in a $4.8 million home with a “spa-like” master bedroom, and a kidney-shaped pool. The median income is $112,000.
Kamala has an estimated net worth of $391,000.
Once upon a time, she got a BMW from Willie Brown. These days, it’s unknown what she drives. But, like most wealthy people in Los Angeles, Senator Kamala Harris would never actually take the bus.Busing is for other people.
4a) Harvard Grad
Michelle Obama reminded attendees at a Naturalization Ceremony on Wednesday that the "Founding Fathers" were not born in America. The ceremony for 50 new US citizens was held at the National Archives in Washington, DC
She said during her speech, referring to the Declaration of Independence, "It's amazing that just a few feet from where I'm standing are the signatures of the 56 Founders who put their names on a Declaration that changed the course of history, and like the 50 of you, none of them were born American. They became American.
"Excuse me?" Did she actually mean that those who signed the Declaration of Independence and participated in the drafting of the Constitution were not born in America?
Benjamin Franklin was born in Pennsylvania Thomas Jefferson, George Washington & James Madison were all born in Virginia. John Adams was born in Massachusetts. Only eight of the 56 were not born in America.
Surely she knew this. But then again, maybe not. After all, she is a Harvard graduate. And by the way, in case she's not aware of it, THE CONSTITUTION WAS NOT SIGNED IN WASHINGTON D.C.,
it was signed in Philadelphia.
And let's not forget that her husband thinks there are 57 states.
