HALF-FULL REPORT 08/04/17
Is Steve Miller the HFR Hero of the Week or what? That’s the way you handle the Lying Swine. And Tucker, whom I’ve known since he was a very young boy, performs the coup de grace: “They are buffoons, the drunk guys with bad breath at the party who won’t stop talking.”
The RAISE Act – S.354 – is fabulous. Here are President Trump’s remarks with Sens. Cotton and Perdue on Wednesday (8/02). This is Absolute MAGA. Or as the Daily Mail headlined it (8/02):
No more chain migration. You have skills, speak English, can support yourself – welcome to the USA. You want to come here to get on welfare – fugetaboutit!
Of course, the Lying Swine Alt-Left Cultural Marxist Fake News Media hates it – after all, it’s pro-American worker, and blocks millions of no-skill low IQ immigrants to flood the US, collect welfare and vote Democrat. You watched above how Steve Miller wiped the floor with CNN’s Jim Acosta. Now watch him do the same with New York Times’ Glenn Thrush…
That’s just the start. We have a lot of ground to cover. Here we go…
THE DEATH OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS NIGH
It is no accident, Comrades, that Drudge juxtaposed these particular headlines yesterday (7/31), together with a 10 year-old photo of Bela Pelosi celebrating becoming Speaker back in January 2007.
Pelosi ‘believes she will be Speaker again’ — ‘can smell good midterm election’ is the report Drudge linked to. Right. Just the day before on Sunday (7/30), the Fox News story was Pelosi says "unimportant" for Democrats to win the midterm elections in 2018.
What this 77 year-old corrupt hag smells is the impending death of her party.
The Lying Swine Alt-Left Cultural Marxist Fake News Media wants us to focus on sideshow antics in the White House, and ignore the massive perfect storm of scandals about to pitchpole the Dems. As in:
As you may recall, there were no survivors on the Andrea Gail, the true story of which The Perfect Storm movie was based. Keep that video clip in mind when you think of the Democrat Party from now on.
MCCAIN’S PYRRHIC VICTORY
Sen. John McCain’s gigantic eff you to Donald Trump ultimately may benefit the president.
Senate Democrats were giddy when Maverick and nominal Republicans Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska joined all 48 of them to block even modest changes to Obamacare.
McCain is the greatest senator since…Ted Kennedy, said Democrat leader Chuck Schumer.
Since so few study history, I doubt many Dems know what a “Pyrrhic victory” is. They may find out.
Here’s why. And here’s why McCain is going to be dead soon.
MCMASTERS’ NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL IS BECOMING A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT
Derek Harvey was a man who saw things coming. He had warned of Al Qaeda when most chose to ignore it. He had seen the Sunni insurgency rising when most chose to deny it.
The former Army colonel had made his reputation by learning the lay of the land. In Iraq that meant sleeping on mud floors and digging into documents to figure out where the threat was coming from.
It was hard to imagine anyone better qualified to serve as President Trump’s top Middle East adviser at the National Security Council than a man who had been on the ground in Iraq and who had seen it all.
Just like in Iraq, Harvey began digging at the NSC. He came up with a list of Obama holdovers who were leaking to the press. H.R. McMaster, the new head of the NSC, refused to fire any of them.
McMaster had a different list of people he wanted to fire. It was easy to make the list. Harvey was on it.
All you had to do was name Islamic terrorism as the problem and oppose the Iran Deal. If you came in with Flynn, you would be out. If you were loyal to Trump, your days were numbered.
And if you warned about Obama holdovers undermining the new administration, you were a target. Call it McMasters’ Coup against the President.
CAMP STUPID USA
The forests and lakes around Olympia, Washington is one of the most idyllic places in America. Since 1954, there’s been a wonderful summer camp for Jewish kids – Camp Solomon Schechter – where they can hike, swim, canoe, fish, climb trees and rappel down them, and have an abundance of just plain fun.
Generations of young Jews have grown up with fondest memories of their time here. That’s why it’s so sad that people are now calling it Camp Stupid.
Last week, the camp hosted a group of children from an Israeli organization Kids4Peace, some of whom are Moslem. “For a teachable moment,” the camp directors declared, a Palestinian flag would be flown over the camp next to the flags of America and Israel, “as a sign of friendship and acceptance.”
Condemnation was swift, such as the FoxNews headline (7/31), Jewish Summer Camp Hit for Flying The Palestinian Flag in ‘Teachable Moment’.
The “teachable moment” for Jews is that it symbolizes two points:
1. Our desperate need to be loved.
2. It happened at the time when an Islamic preacher in California got caught sermonizing death to all Jews.
TRUMP AND VENEZUELA
Venezuela’s oil industry is at risk of sudden collapse as funding dries up and the US tightens sanctions, threatening to shatter the beguiling calm in global crude markets.
West Texas crude briefly spiked above $50 a barrel for the first time since late May after Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro pressed ahead with a rigged election on Sunday (7/30) in defiance of the US, the EU, and the leading Latin American powers.
President Donald Trump threatened “strong and swift economic sanctions” before the weekend vote. On Monday (7/31), Washington followed through and imposed personal sanctions on Mr. Maduro but this is essentially gesture politics.
Mr. Trump's own credibility is now on the line as the 'Chavista' revolution throws down the gauntlet.
Edwin Morse and Tina Fordham from Citigroup say a political showdown with Washington is now almost unavoidable. A core feature of the emerging ‘Trump Doctrine’ is “the sanctity of red lines”. This White House vows to deliver on its threats, insisting that it will not waver as Barack Obama did over Syria.
CHINA’S NEW FAKE NEWS MEDIA STRATEGY
Chinese scholar and author Liu Xiaobo was awarded the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize "for his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China.” He was in prison at the time and not allowed to attend the ceremony in Oslo. It was his fourth incarceration by the Communists.
It was his last. He would stay in prison until he died three weeks ago.
As he lay on his deathbed late June, a mysterious video surfaced on YouTube, showing him undergoing medical treatment while in custody and telling medical staff he “greatly appreciated” the care he was given.
While news of his terminal liver cancer was met with shock and disbelief around the globe, China’s state propaganda machine swiftly moved into high gear to make sure its version of the story was dominating public discourse.
The government’s attempt to monopolize the storyline related to Liu’s illness and death is part of a radical change in the way the Chinese government uses the media. Instead of hushing up issues it found embarrassing like in the past, it is now aggressively manipulating the public discourse with Fake News.
THE INNOVATION KILLERS
Which government agency has done the most to destroy innovation?
The American Founders tried to create an environment to foster innovation, because they understood new inventions would increase the well-being of the citizens. And that is the reason the Constitution enabled Congress to create patents of limited duration.
Most politicians say they favor innovation, but at the same time they create regulations, taxes and government agencies that hobble or prohibit that same innovation.
One of the most notorious innovation-killing agencies is the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), whose mission is to “protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation.”
In reality, it most often does precisely the opposite. Here’s why.

HALF-FULL REPORT 07/28/17
Might as well confess, I am in a state of overwhelm regarding events of this week. By the time you’re finished reading this HFR, you will be too. Good grief, to quote Charlie Brown.
Might as well start with the most fully demented headline of the week – for which there is a lot of competition. The alt-left Cultural Marxists at Business Insider actually believe this: Transgender Military Service Is A Winning Issue Against Trump (7/26).
Against? Yep, that’s the bubble of pathological delusion lefties live in to protect their snowflake psyches from reality. It’s hard to imagine a more winning issue for Trump than his Tran Ban.
That’s just a hint of what’s to come. You’ll be stunned by what the HFR Hero of the Week said in testimony to Congress yesterday. Here’s the full OMG quote from his testimony yesterday – it’s very important for you to read this carefully.
Yet there’s so much more that’s critical for you to know and understand. Here we go.
