Cnsnews.com reports: The Georgia woman who created the petition in January, Marjorie Taylor Greene, personally delivered a copy of the petition to Speaker Pelosi’s House office on February 22 last year. Greene continues to encourage Americans to sign the petition, aided by President Donald Trump’s recent calls for Pelosi’s impeachment for the way she has conducted her impeachment inquiry of him.
Since posting the petition, Greene – a business owner, wife and mother – has launched a campaign to become the Republican House candidate for Georgia’s 6th district. Last week, she met with members of the House Freedom Caucus and its founder, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).
The petition argues that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is a traitor to the United States because she provides support to its “enemies” – illegal immigrants – by opposing border wall funding and by supporting sanctuary cities and tax-funded benefits for illegal aliens:
Nancy Pelosi is a TRAITOR to the American People!
The Constitution defines, “Treason against the US.. ..adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” Illegal aliens are enemies that invade our country with drugs, human trafficking, and terrorist causing death and crime to American citizens. Nancy Pelosi adheres to these enemies by voting for and providing them aid and comfort through Sanctuary policies funded by US citizen tax dollars, and refuses to protect American people by refusing to fund our border wall, leaving our borders open and unsafe. Pelosi refused to meet with Angel families, caused the government shut down then traveled on US dollars to Hawaii and Puerto Rico while 800,000 Fed workers don’t get paid, and uninvited Trump for SOTU. IMPEACH Pelosi for treason!
While the U.S. Constitution does say civil servants may be removed through “impeachment” – which must be tried by the Senate, it also says either chamber of Congress may “expel” one of its members via a two-thirds vote by the members of that chamber:
“Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.” – Article 1, section 5, clause 2 “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” – Article 2, section 4 “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.

As the White House “We the People” website explains, the petition platform empowers every American citizens “to become an agent of change” – and, if a petition gains 100,000 signatures in 30 days, the White House will “make sure it gets in front of the appropriate policy experts”:
“We the People is a platform that empowers the American public to take this action like never before – it’s a way for anybody, anywhere, to speak directly to the government and become an agent for change. “With We the People, you can easily create a petition online, share it, and collect signatures. If you gather 100,000 signature in 30 days, we’ll review your petition, make sure it gets in front of the appropriate policy experts, and issue an official response.”

“ We hear so much about Russian interference in our election : It happened .

Three years later and the FBI Director is admitting that surveillance of Carter Page, and by extension the Trump campaign, was illegal.
Wray, who replaced the fired James Comey as FBI Director, appeared before the House Judiciary Committee and was asked about FBI surveillance of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page, which was partially based upon a since-discredited dossier developed by former British spy Christopher Steele.
Western Journal report: Wray was also asked about a report by Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz that found the FBI made 17 “significant errors and omissions” in its filings to begin and continue surveillance of Page, which was the first step of what mushroomed into the complex investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller of alleged Russian “collusion” with the Trump campaign.
Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe of Texas asked Wray about the report’s conclusions regarding the court established by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, according to the Washington Examiner.
“The report acknowledges that … this was illegal surveillance with respect to at least several of these FISA applications, because there was not probable cause or proper predication, correct?” Ratcliffe asked.
“Right,” said Wray, who was confirmed in the FBI’s top post in August 2017, replacing fired FBI Director James Comey.
“So to the point of one of my Democratic colleagues that there was no fraud on the court, illegal surveillance and changing evidence to conduct illegal surveillance is the very definition of fraud on the court, is it not?” Ratcliffe followed up.
“Well, I certainly think that it describes conduct that is utterly unacceptable,” Wray said. “We have accepted … every finding in the inspector general’s report, including some that are extremely painful to us as an institution.”
During the hearing, Wray was asked if the Steele dossier might have been Russian disinformation, according to the Washington Examiner.
“We hear so much about Russian interference in our election: It happened. We all know it did. We want it to stop,” Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio said, according to the Examiner.
“But it seems to me that a big part of that Russian election interference was the idea that a document that Russians, information came from Russians that Christopher Steele put together, is scary.”
Wray said the FBI’s probe, which was code-named Crossfire Hurricane, is part of the investigation being conducted by U.S. Attorney John Durham on the orders of Attorney General William Barr.
“I want to make sure we’re not talking past each other unintentionally,” Wray said.
“When it comes to the origins of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, I think the attorney general has said publicly, so I think that’s why I’m on solid ground to say that here, is that’s one of the things that Mr. Durham is looking very specifically at is the origination of the investigation.
“And we have been cooperating fully with that investigation, as the attorney general has commented publicly on a number of occasions.”
During his Judiciary Committee testimony, Wray also said that he fears Russia will interfere in the 2020 elections through misinformation campaigns, according to The Associated Press.
“Unlike a cyberattack on an election infrastructure, that kind of effort — disinformation — in a world where we have a First Amendment and believe strongly in freedom of expression, the FBI is not going to be in the business of being the truth police and monitoring disinformation online,” Wray said.
Wray indicated that he did not expect Russia to take a side as much as sow discord.
“They identify an issue that they know that the American people feel passionately about on both sides and then they take both sides and spin them up so they pit us against each other,” Wray said.
“And then they combine that with an effort to weaken our confidence in our elections and our democratic institutions, which has been a pernicious and asymmetric way of engaging in … information warfare.”

The indoctrination of radical left-wing ideas in our schools, colleges and universities is infecting the minds of our youth to the point where self-loathing and hatred is becoming the new ideal.
It started decades ago with the concept that straight, white, Christian males should stand down and learn to despise themselves while shamefully accepting the blame for all of the world’s problems.
Now that the new left-wing religion of climate change has gone mainstream, at least one liberal professor believes the only solution is for humans to make themselves extinct.

Indiana ’ s attorney general says that 2,411 aborted babies , whose fetal remains were found in an abortionist ’ s garage in Illinois , must be treated with the respect human life deserves and receive the dignity of a proper burial .
Indiana AG Curtis T. Hill Jr. announced the remains of the aborted babies will be memorialized at a graveside service at Southlawn Cemetery and Palmer Funeral Home in South Bend where Klopfer performed abortions .

“ The discovery of the babies brought Americans face to face with the reality of what abortion is and the humanity of these children .

newspunch--2020-02-12--Pete Buttigieg Vows To Flood Small American Towns with Migrants

Democrat presidential frontrunner Pete Buttigieg has vowed to flood small American towns with immigrants in order to help these regions achieve their “ potential.
” The plan to inundate small American towns with immigrants would also drastically change the demographics of the rural communities , meaning traditionally red states would be considerably more likely to vote blue .
During a campaign stop in Merrimack , New Hampshire , Buttigieg touted his investor-friendly plan to flood small American towns and rural communities with legal immigration for the sole purpose of driving up population growth .
Buttigieg , the son of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Communist Manifesto , said : I ’ m proposing what we call “ Community Renewal Visas ” that when a community that is very much in need of growing its population , recognizes that , and makes a choice to welcome more than its share of new Americans that we create a fast-track , if they apply for an allotment of visas , that goes to those who are willing to be in those areas that maybe are hurting for population but have great potential .
Breitbart report : Buttigieg ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Economic Innovation Group , an organization led by investors , that seeks to create a “ Heartland Visa ” to flood small American towns with more legal immigration to increase the population .
More residents in the U.S. through immigration deliver huge returns for Wall Street , big business , developers , and investors who benefit from the addition of millions of new consumers , as well as residents in need of housing and jobs .
For years , investors and the pro-migration lobby have sought to increase the nation ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the need for additional housing , which in return provides developers and contractors with a series of new work while increasing housing prices for Americans .
Already , at current legal immigration levels of about 1.2 million admissions a year , the U.S. population is expected to grow to an unprecedented 404 million residents by 2060 — translating to more cars on the road , more urban sprawl , additional housing and commercial development , and increased living density for Americans .
Buttigieg also hinted that he would back Sen. Mike Lee ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ensure that only Indian nationals obtain nearly all of the nation ’ s employment-based green cards over the next decade .
The legislation is a bonus for outsourcing firms such as Cognizant and Infosys , as well as giant tech conglomerates like Amazon and Facebook , as it solidifies a green card system wherein only foreign workers on H-1B visas are able to obtain employment green cards by creating a backlog of seven to eight years for all foreign nationals .
“ And so a couple of steps I think would help make @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : One is these country caps that exist that create a longer and longer clock on family reunification and other ways to make sure folks can get through that process , ” Buttigieg said .
“ It ’ s based on numbers that were settled on in the 1980s .
It makes no sense .
And it has no relationship to our economic reality .
So when we have work-based visas , those pathways to come to the country , it should be something that can be revisited and revised every two years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taking an act of Congress to go clear up.
” There are now 62 million immigrants and their U.S.-born children residing in the country , a record high , and nearly half of the residents in the country ’ s five largest cities speak another language other than English in their home .

Already, at current legal immigration levels of about 1.2 million admissions a year, the U.S. population is expected to grow to an unprecedented 404 million residents by 2060 — translating to more cars on the road, more urban sprawl, additional housing and commercial development, and increased living density for Americans.
Buttigieg also hinted that he would back Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) S. 386 to ensure that only Indian nationals obtain nearly all of the nation’s employment-based green cards over the next decade. The legislation is a bonus for outsourcing firms such as Cognizant and Infosys, as well as giant tech conglomerates like Amazon and Facebook, as it solidifies a green card system wherein only foreign workers on H-1B visas are able to obtain employment green cards by creating a backlog of seven to eight years for all foreign nationals.
“And so a couple of steps I think would help make [the legal immigration system] better: One is these country caps that exist that create a longer and longer clock on family reunification and other ways to make sure folks can get through that process,” Buttigieg said. “It’s based on numbers that were settled on in the 1980s. It makes no sense. And it has no relationship to our economic reality. So when we have work-based visas, those pathways to come to the country, it should be something that can be revisited and revised every two years in an administrative process instead of literally taking an act of Congress to go clear up.”
There are now 62 million immigrants and their U.S.-born children residing in the country, a record high, and nearly half of the residents in the country’s five largest cities speak another language other than English in their home.

A US artist has been forced to scrap his plans to honor teen climate activist Greta Thunberg by putting a mural on the wall of a North Dakota bakery , following community outcry & boycott threats .
Shane Balkowitsch had planned to put a 2.1m-tall mural of Thunberg on the exterior wall of a bakery in Bismarck , but his plan stoked outrage among locals who flooded social media with protests and threats to boycott to the business .
Last November a massive four-story Greta mural , described by some as “ dystopian ” was unveiled in San Francisco .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ slated to be posted on an exterior wall of the Brick Oven Bakery in the city of Bismarck , however when local media outlet KFYR-TV brought the story to its Facebook page on Tuesday night , residents were immediately up in arms , with the post racking up over 1,000 comments in a matter of hours .
“ Can ’ t we put someone of importance from North Dakota on the building ?
” asked one outraged local .
“ Our state ’ s history is flooded with important people , Native Americans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Inventors .
Seriously !
This is the worst idea ever !
” The deluge of negative comments soon had an effect , prompting photographer and climate activist Shane Balkowitsch – who captured the image that was to be used for the mural and proposed the project in the first place – to call off the plan altogether .
“ I feel for the bakery .
I can ’ t have some business being threatened for my work , ” Balkowitsch told the Bismarck Tribune , referring to netizens vowing to boycott the business @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is his “ most important work to date.
” Since posting it to social media , the image has garnered millions of combined likes and shares , allowing the photographer to advertise both his work and “ his own views on climate change and environmental preservation , ” according to Analog Forever Magazine .
The picture was even given a nod from the young climate crusader herself .
After revoking the application for the mural , however , Balkowitsch downplayed any political message the image – or Greta herself – might carry , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a 17-year-old girl ; that ’ s all it is to me.
” “ Her message and stuff , that ’ s her message .
As an artist , it ’ s my duty to capture the history surrounding her , ” added the photographer , who followed the young activist for months before snapping the image .
Critics of the proposed mural saw things quite differently , with one commenter arguing that “ Thunberg is a symbol of divisiveness on a polarized subject , ” adding “ Most people have already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so I fail to see how painting a mural of her would be much more than provoking conflict.
” Some were far less polite in panning the idea , suggesting other options for the location of the mural : “ Maybe we can place it at the bottom of the water treatment ponds .
Both are full of s**t. ” Opposition was not universal , however , with a handful of Facebook users backing up Thunberg and challenging critics to create their own public artwork .
“ And just like that .
All @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said .
“ At least this young lady has passion .
At least she gives a damn about our earth .
Don ’ t like it , grow some talent and make your own murals !
!
” Following the public outcry , the owners of Brick Oven Bakery , Steven and Sandy Jacobson , said that they had asked their landlord to not allow the mural to be built , realizing “ the emotional impact that this photo may cause .

Last November a massive four-story Greta mural, described by some as “dystopian” was unveiled in San Francisco.
RT reports: The 7-foot mural was slated to be posted on an exterior wall of the Brick Oven Bakery in the city of Bismarck, however when local media outlet KFYR-TV brought the story to its Facebook page on Tuesday night, residents were immediately up in arms, with the post racking up over 1,000 comments in a matter of hours.
“Can’t we put someone of importance from North Dakota on the building?” asked one outraged local. “Our state’s history is flooded with important people, Native Americans, Pioneers, Explorers, Presidents, Inventors. Seriously! This is the worst idea ever!”
The deluge of negative comments soon had an effect, prompting photographer and climate activist Shane Balkowitsch – who captured the image that was to be used for the mural and proposed the project in the first place – to call off the plan altogether.
“I feel for the bakery. I can’t have some business being threatened for my work,” Balkowitsch told the Bismarck Tribune, referring to netizens vowing to boycott the business.
Balkowitsch says the photo in question is his “most important work to date.” Since posting it to social media, the image has garnered millions of combined likes and shares, allowing the photographer to advertise both his work and “his own views on climate change and environmental preservation,”according to Analog Forever Magazine. The picture was even given a nod from the young climate crusader herself.
I want to thank all the people who I’ve met I North America for their incredible hospitality. And thank you all for your amazing support!
