TASS-ONE PERSON KILLED IN SHELLING BY MILITANTS IN SYRIA

Even as the government offensive backed by Russia continues in the northwest against jihadists opposed by the usual suspects as in the United States and United Kingdom, the "Al  Qaeda and Company" gang keeps up the attack.

The political drama in Israel with Prime Minister Netanyahu and allies saying new elections are coming as he is unable to get more than 60 seats in the Knesset because of Avigdor Lieberman and Yisrsel Beiteinu's stand for a draft law over the objections of the religious factions which are aligned with Netanyahu right now.

And the verdict on that around midnight in Israel, 5pm here in the eastern USA, new elections on September 17th in Israel.



(1020 PM EASTERN)

Well here we go!   The hustling for votes is on again.    All this political intrigue comes after the Attorney General in Israel decided to delay the pre-indictment hearing on Prime Minister Netanyahu for three months until October and the new election impedes Netanyahu's efforts to pass laws in the Knesset to nullify the pending indictments against him in three separate corruption cases.....

(155 AM EASTERN)


Good early Thursday morning May 30th.    I have investments in many places like Amazon and Walmart.   Heck, the shareholders meeting of Walmart this week in fact.

And I don't always like what those companies and their leadership do to be honest.

It reminds me of my investment in the Donald J. Trump Presidency.

I voted for Trump in 2016 and I live in Pennsylvania.

How do I express displeasure when the enterprise I invest in falls short?

The spiritual home of Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State gets to buy American weapons by Presidential order.    The Saudis along with the United Arab Emriates ("Jihadi John" Bolton visiting there in recent hours fighting the Shia Muslims in Iran and the "Assad regime" in Syria etc. etc.) and Jordan getting the stuff to the tune of billions of dollars.

We saw two new justices make it to the US Supreme Court (Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh) courtesy of President Trump and this week on Life or Abortion as the MSM would put it a pretty wimpy outcome.

I knew a GOP politician who once said he believes the unborn child is a human being and then he turned around and said a woman has a right to choose.

That's the message we got from the Supreme Court this week on the Indiana law.

They said unborn children were human by saying they had to be buried or cremated but they refused to uphold the Indianas law's limiting of abortions in cases of gender selection, racial selection or disability.

Brett Kavanaugh made it to the Supreme Court after a barrage of sex related allegations were steadfastly confronted by President Trump, the Republican Party, its office holders, political machine etc etc. etc.

But there was a situation earlier on where President Trump was half-hearted in his defense of someone over sex related allegations and the Republican Party, its office holders and political machine were totally absent from the fight.


Here are President Trump's tweets from 8am Wednesday morning...…..


PRESIDENT TRUMP TWEET NUMBER ONE



PRESIDENT TRUMP TWEET NUMBER TWO



In answer to tweet one from Mike Pence on down Republican leaders cut, ran and did not campaign for Roy Moore one iota.

In answer two tweet two its hard to see from the US Supreme Court ruling this week what real Pro-Life victory has been achieved by you having a Republican majority in the Senate and putting justices on the court.

Justice Thomas much more solid than Gorsuch and Kavanaugh in saying in his opinion this week that the issue of Roe vs. Wade must be revisited.

So I can still vote for you in 2020 but I know why in the mid-terms I did not vote for Republicans for Congress and Senate because they are not like you say you are on the issues and because you are still short on issues like the Bunkerville  prisoners.

When will Jerry Delemus, Todd Engel and Greg Burleson be pardoned.   Can you tell me that?

Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the Yisrael Beitenu (Israel Our Home) Party, insisting that a law on drafting Israelis for military service be passed over objections from religious Israelis.  Lieberman also protesting the inordinate influence of religious elements on the nation's life.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's supporters pouncing on Lieberman accusing him of wanting to hurt Netanyahu and the chances of a government of the "Right" being formed.

Lieberman saying he stands on principle and shrugging off news leaked to the media that religious parties are " amazingly flexible" on the draft law as a "scam".

Netanyahu's Likud Party is pushing a law to dissolve Parliament creating the notion that new elections will have to be called because Lieberman is balking about joining a new government.

Also Likud moving to merge with the small Kulanu Party to move its number of seats up 4 to 39 giving Likud more seats than the main opposition Blue and White Party.

The Supreme Court coming down with a ruling on an Indiana abortion law upholding the part dealing with the remains of abortions or miscarriages.     That provision requires the remains of the unborn child (fetus) to be either buried or cremated.

But in an unsigned opinion the court opted not to review a lower court ruling overturning the part of the law that made abortions based on race, gender or disability illegal.

But Justice Clarence Thomas did offer this in his concurring opinion with the ruling:

"Given the potential for abortion to become a tool of eugenic manipulation, the Court will soon need to confront the constitutionality of laws like Indiana's"

In France the parents of the quadriplegic Vincent Lambert will have their case against the hospital and doctor who took away food and water from him Monday May 20th for a period of hours heard in court.

An appeals court ruled late that day that Lambert could not be put to death until the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities held a hearing on the matter.

Reims University Hospital and Dr. Vincent Sanchez are being brought to court June 4th for failing to assist someone in danger.

They contend that Vincent Lambert, injured in an auto accident in 2008, is in a "persistent vegetative state" and should be put to death.

A lawyer for the family, Gerard Chemia, says he hopes the court case may lead to transfer of Lambert from the hospital for failing to provide him with treatment.

In Germany a reversal on a recommendation for Jews not to wear kippas by the country's anti-Semitism commissioner Felix Klein.   The spokesman for Chancellor Angela Merkel Steffen Seibert saying that the state must guarantee the free exercise of religion and Klein now saying that non-Jews should wear the kippa in solidarity with Jews in the face of anti-Semitic attacks.

Republican Congressman Justin Amash of Michigan, a libertarian, told a packed town hall meeting in his district Tuesday night:

He responded to a question from a constituent upset that Amash believes President Trump committed impeachable offenses based on Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report.

Among other things Amash said that President Trump asked his now former White House counsel Don McGahn to create a:

"false record"

Amash said that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was more interested in upholding the Democrat majority in the House than upholding the law when it came to the notion of impeachment.

Work schedule and holiday schedule changing the timing of posts tonight....

Getting back to news right now a 'game of chicken, a "battle of brinksmanship, a "contest of wills" in Israeli politics.

Former Defense Minister and the leader of a conservative faction, Avigdor Lieberman, insisting that his price for participation in a new government led by Benjamin Netanyahu is related to the need for a law on drafting Israelis into military service over the objections of religious Israelis who also will provide seats to support Mr. Netanyahu in a new government.

Lieberman also not happy with the softness of Mr. Netanyahu's policy towards Hamas in Gaza which includes constant infusions of cash in the tens of millions of dollars into Gaza courtesy of the Arab oil state of Qatar.

The money Netanyahu lets in has not stopped attacks from Gaza up to and including deadly rocket strikes on Israel.

You all think Netanyahu is "tough" and "conservative".    Well some Israelis see that differently.  Lieberman reflects their views.

The response of Netanyahu is to introduce a bill to dissolve the Knesset (Parliament) and hold new elections in September.    Pressure applied to Lieberman who will be blamed for such an outcome if the bill goes through because Lieberman balks at giving his party's seats to form a new government of the "Right" in Israel.

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ELECTIONS UNPLUGGED

(INFORMATION WILL BE ADDED THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING US TIME)

(12 NOON EASTERN US TIME)

The voting concludes Sunday evening in Europe and all the results can be counted for the 751 European Parliament seats.

Coalitions of various mainstream parties of the "Left", "Right" and "Center" dominate but now some newly emerging nationalist anti-mass immigration parties may now get a share of these seats.

Reasonable expectations are for somewhere around 10-15 percent of them as the results emerge tonight.

The "Nations and Freedom" coalition of Italy's League leader Matteo Salvini and France's National Rally leader Marine Le Pen has partners in other countries aligned with it like Austria's Freedom Party hit hard by a compromising video.

The Freedom Party was targeted by what one of those involved in the video scheme calls a "civil society" operation.   That phrase associated with none other than George Soros.

The Alternative for Germany also part of the Salvini-Le Pen coalition fighting hard to maintain its electoral strength in the face of the Merkel government's all out investigations of the party for financial dealings and also by domestic spying agencies.

Then there's the story of the UK allegedly leaving the European Union through Brexit following the vote to Leave in the 2016 referendum.

No matter who emerges as the new Prime Minister from the Conservative Party in the next few months the same bag of tricks will be employed to keep the UK tied to the European Union while promising Brexit to the public.    That is beyond debate based on what has been seen in the last year or so.

In his Sunday column this weekend Peter Hitchens of the "Mail on Sunday" laying out the notion that even Boris Johnson is considered cunning enough to force his country to remain part of the European Union.

Nigel Farage and his Brexit Party roaring into prominence in recent weeks taking the UK by storm for an expected victory with the kind of plurality that could win a General Election in the UK.

But Farage the businessman being very politically correct shunning and rejecting his former allies in UKIP and those on the outside in working class regions hard hit by mass immigration and "Islamization" of their communities.       Farage shunning those being prosecuted and persecuted for "hate crimes" in the UK.

 UKIP hoping to survive with some sort of victory for a few seats with candidates like internet activist Carl Benjamin ("Sargon of Akkad") running in the Southwest of England.

And Northwest England contesting one of the eight seats there's Independent candidate Tommy Robinson.

Robinson, disdained by the Establishment and the likes of Mr. Farage.    He was arrested live streaming outside a child sex abuse trial involving numerous victims and dozens of Muslim defendants.

Robinson summarily tried, jailed, freed on appeal but now facing trial again July 4th.

Before we go to return later tonight after 10 pm the BBC is forecasting the turnout in the UK last Thursday at 37 percent, much lower than overall turnout in the other countries.

The BBC also hyping the success of the "Green" parties in the election.     Parties that redefine "Progressive" and "Left" in the direction of policies that hurt working people by taxing them on gasoline and home heating and cooling costs and keeping business taxes lower like those embraced by President Emmanuel Macron in France.

The allocation of the 73 seats in Italy is 28 going to Matteo Salvini's League with 33.6 percent of the popular vote.    The Socialist Left Democratic Party second at 19 seats with 23.5 percent, the Five Star Movement came in third seeing their strength halved from the last General Election.

The leading party of Italy's government at 14 seats with 16.6 percent of the popular vote.   The once great Forza Italia party of Silvio Burlesconi down to six seats and 7.8 percent of the vote.   The Brothers of Italy get into the EU Parliament, the political descendants of Benito Mussolini, with five seats and 5.8 percent of the vote.

A regional party in the German speaking part of northern Italy gets one seat.

Trying to look at firm results information right now and in the UK the top two parties are Nigel Farage's Brexit Party with 31.6 percent of the popular vote and 29 seats followed by Sir Vince Cable of the Liberal Democrats with 20.3 percent of the popular vote and 16 seats.   Way down in fifth place the Conservatives of Theresa May with 9.1 percent and four seats.

Over to Germany with Angela Merkel's CDU-CSU down to 28.7 percent of the popular vote with the Greens second at 20.7 percent.   That's 29 and 21 seats respectively for those parties.   Social Democrats at 15.6 percent of the popular vote and 16 seats and the Alternative for Germany at 10.8 percent and 11 seats.    The AfD  under tremendous pressure from the Merkel government with investigations by the intelligence agencies and investigations into its finances etc. etc. etc.

Spain's' vote with the Socialists at 20 seats, 32,8 percent.   People's Party or the "Conservatives" at 12 seats, 20.1 percent.   Ciudadanos at 7 seats, 12.2 percent,  Podemos at 6 seats, 10.1 percent.   The new anti-mass immigration Vox at three seats, 6.2 percent.   The Catalan parties got five seats and the Basques one.

The French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner tweeted at 412 am Eastern  US time Monday that a suspect in the package bombing in Lyon Friday that injured 13 people has been arrested.    He is simply identified as a 24 year old man.

The French authorities are continuing their their investigation into Friday's bomb blast.    They were able to release additional pictures of the masked suspect who dropped the package bomb near a bakery and rode off in a bicycle.

Anti-terrorism police and prosecutors involved in the investigation but no willingness on the part of government officials to call the bombing terrorism.

Traces of an explosive (TATP) used in previous Islamic terrorist attacks in France and Belgium have been found.

Jews in Germany are being warned by the country's anti-Semitism commissioner not to wear head coverings (kippas) that identify them as Jews.

Felix Klein said he has changed his opinion on the matter in light of increased attacks on Jews in Germany.   There were 62 physical attacks on Jews in Germany in 2018, up from 37 in 2017.

Israel's President Reuven Rivlin says the recommendation is an admission:

"......that, again, Jews are not safe in Germany"

BREAKING NEWS:  FRANCE YELLOW VESTS WEEK 28 ON A VERY POLITICAL WEEKEND WITH 12, 500 ACCORDING TO GOVERNMENT, 35,000 PLUS ACCORDING TO YELLOW VESTS

(THIS POST WILL BE UPDATED INTO SATURDAY EVENING WITH A WRAPUP)

(FRIDAY EVENING)

24 hours before France goes to the polls in the European Parliament elections the Yellow Vests will again take to the streets of France.

The numbers are down.  Both the government and the Yellow Vests Facebook "The Yellow Number" agree but their statistics are vastly different.

15,500 if you believe the government's version of Week 27 but 42,128 at 274 locations according to the Yellow Vests number.

What will the numbers be this week remains to be seen.

On the political front National Rally leader Marine Le Pen appealed for Yellow Vests support during the past week arguing that opponents of President Emmanuel Macron can send him a clear message by voting for her party on Sunday.

Le Pen said that Macron:

"is already behaving in a totalitarian way"

She also took a swipe at the Left party in France of Jean-Luc Melenchon dubbing his "Insubordinate France" Party as:

"Islamist France"

Latest polling data from five sources shows a two percentage point lead for the National Rally of Le Pen over the La Republique En March party of President Emmanuel.

Protests in the city planned on social media.

But Jerome Rodrigues, media figure of the Yellow Vests, injured in the eye by police during an earlier protest is promoting the notion of a surprise protest in Paris this Saturday.

Protests not announced in advance are considered illegal in France.

In a move that mirrors what the Maduro regime in Venezuela does to disrupt opposition protests, nine metro (subway) stations will be closed in  Paris today starting at this time.

In Paris the government says that 2,100 were involved in the protests.

A group of hundred or so people without Yellow Vests were trying to approach the forbidden area of protest on the Champs-Elysees and the Place de l'Etoile surrounding the Arc de Triomphe.

The police moved in and used tear gas to disperse the group honoring a social media call for an undeclared protest.

Some anarchists interjected themselves into the main protest in Paris when it ended late in the afternoon.    Also a blockade was attempted by several dozen protesters with barricades at the Place of the Bastille around 7 pm.

At Amiens the government's estimate was 1,200 for what was billed as a major protest today.    The organizers estimate some 2,000.

Nigel Farage's Brexit Party standing at 37 to 38 percent of the vote in the latest polling for tomorrow's European Parliament elections.  His Tories In Exile group taking 2/3 of the Tory vote with them and 1/3 of the Labor vote.

Second place goes to the Globalists and Europhiles of the Liberal Democrats who average out at around 17 percent with Labor around 15 percent and the Conservatives of Theresa May averaging at 9.5 percent alongside the Greens fighting it out for fourth or fifth place.

Its a political bloodbath in the making with voting tomorrow but no results until Sunday night after the other countries vote Sunday for the European Parliament.

But Theresa May had to act in desperation moving towards the Labor Party position bringing in "workers rights" and the notion of a "Second Referendum".
