A federal grand jury has indicted 35 convenience store owners from the St. Louis area after discovering a sick scheme they were running.

Mainstream media reports refused to make the Muslim connection, but when they released the list of defendants, the truth was obvious.

Nearly every name on the list was a Muslim of Middle Eastern background.

In other words, nearly all were immigrants or refugees.

Now, where would people like that get the money to even open a convenience store? I know lots of out-of-work Americans who’d love that kind of opportunity.

Turns out, the federal government, under policies Obama put in place, is just handing out tens of thousands of dollars to immigrants, and then NOT holding the recipients accountable for what they do with it.
100 Percent Fed Up comments:

Think about it…A family (see list below) our government imported gets together with others and buys a store with American taxpayer money….Why can’t our government give loans like this to Americans? They don’t even track the money…they’re just giving out our money without any record of how it’s used. Unreal!

What these particular Muslim families were doing was buying and distributing contraband cigarettes and drugs.

They were also using the network of convenience stores to launder money.

Folks, this is what a lot of people from more unsavory places around the world think of when they imagine America as the “land of opportunity.”

When Kathy Griffin posed for a photoshoot holding a fake decapitated, bloody head of President Donald Trump in June, she likely didn’t think about the wide-reaching implications of her so-called “joke.”

While her controversial stunt resulted in some serious professional consequences, it also earned her a lengthy visit from the U.S. Secret Service.

Secret Service agents reportedly tracked down Griffin and interviewed her in person for more than an hour. Further, the investigation into the bloody head debacle remains open.
Griffin’s attorney, Dmitry Gorin, has claimed the comedian was merely exercising her “First Amendment rights to tell a joke.”

Ever since Donald Trump was elected as president the left has been in constant attack mode. Not only have they attacked President Trump for all his policies and ideas, but they have also attacked Melania and their son Barron. These hypocritical libtards have attacked Melania for being too beautiful, too exotic, and too devoted to her son. You would think that the left would applaud Melania for being a strong woman, but because of the left’s hatred for Trump, they cannot help themselves.

It seems like every day Melania Trump is being bullied online and it has now gotten to the point of harassment. However, if this bullying was to be grating on the First Lady’s nerves we would not know it at all. Melania has taken every attack with such grace, composure, and poise that the lunatic left does not know what to say.

As you know today is the Fourth of July, and the left is out in full force to make this day miserable. However, while the left is looking to cause issues Melania Trump is seeking to unify our country.

Today Melania Trump posted a tweet that no one can argue with.

“We are the land of the free because of the brave. Thank you to the heroes who serve!”

Here is the tweet.
According to The American Bacon:

The 47-year-old First Lady Melania Trump delivered a message of support to members of the U.S. military on Twitter on a Fourth of July.

“We are the land of the free because of the brave,” Trump wrote on Twitter on Tuesday. “Thank you to the heroes who serve!”

The president and first lady Melania Trump will foremost attend a picnic with military families on the South Lawn afore watching a fireworks from the Truman Balcony on Tuesday, as reported by the White House.

Even though Donald Trump and his family were in Bedminster, N.J. during the weekend, where Trump has a property, they were set to get back to Washington on Monday evening prior to the holiday. Trump will leave for his second foreign trip on Wednesday.

The Independence Day picnic at the White House is an old tradition lasting from at least the Carter administration, even though not every president has taken part in it every year.

President Donald Trump and his wife will be present at the White House during the holiday with military families, which is a tradition that former presidents have practiced for tens of years.

Our favorite sniveling America hater Colin Kaepernick’ is back in the news again. You remember Kaepernick, right? The privileged football player who decided to kneel down during the National Anthem to make a point. No one is too sure what that point was, but Kaepernick said it was to draw attention to the mistreatment of black people. Well, soon after his misguided political stunt, the mediocre quarterback for the San Francisco 49’ers was not extended another contract.

At first, Kaepernick remained hopeful that he would be signed soon, but days turned into weeks and weeks have turned into months. So months after being unemployed there is an update of his status and it will be a huge shock.

Kaepernick still remains gainfully unemployed.
According to Hot Air:

Despite his long-running battle with the league over his demonstrations of protest before kickoff time, refusing to stand respectfully for the National Anthem, it had been widely assumed that he might land a job somewhere. So what gives? At the Washington Post, Kevin B. Blackistone assures us that the league has secretly decided to ‘blackball’ Kaepernick because of his bold stand in support of social justice or something.

Oh, so now Kaepernick is a victim? I don’t think so buddy and here is why. Kaepernick took his career chances in his hands when he refused to stand for the National Anthem. Now, while he may want to protest whatever social justice issue that is trendy that week the fans do not care.

The only job that Kaepernick has is to show up on the field, throw a ball, and win some games. No one cares about his thoughts on the black community during work hours and rightfully so. If he has an issue that he wants to talk about then he can do that all he wants on his days off.

The other reason that Kaepernick may not be signed with another team is that maybe he truly sucks as a quarterback. I mean did anyone think of that possibility? Or, is it easier for these social justice warriors to make this glue sniffer a victim?

I will let you answer that one.

In Hot Air, they logged his stats:

As quarterbacks go, his more recent performance was somewhere between dismal and mediocre. He had a less than 60% completion rate and was in the bottom third of the league for yards per pass. His passer rating was easily thirty points below the guys who made it to the final dance. But even for all that, he wasn’t that bad. Even the bottom quarter of ranked NFL passers are still light years ahead of the hundreds of hopefuls coming out of college every year. So at least one part of Blackistone’s theory is true. His antics definitely affected the outcome, but that’s because we’re talking about a sliding scale here. Allow me to offer a quick rule of thumb when it comes to profession sports as perceived by one of the fans:

The amount of embarrassment your team is willing to put up with is directly proportional to your measured value in terms of how likely you are to get them into the Superbowl.

Obama met with South Korean leader President Moon Jae-in on Monday for 40 minutes. This happened just days after President Trump met with the leader of South Korea. It appears that Obama’s shadow government is still in full swing.

The Korea Herald reported that the South Korean President spoke about his meeting with President Trump, asking Obama for advice on how to improve relations between the two countries.

“President Moon Jae-in renewed his resolve to pursue sanctions and dialogue to tackle North Korea’s nuclear program during a meeting with former US President Barack Obama on Monday, saying now is the “last chance” for the regime to return to the negotiating table.

During the 40-minute talk, Moon shared the results of his recent summit with his incumbent US counterpart Donald Trump, asking for Obama’s advice on ways to advance the relationship.”
This just looks bad for our entire country when a former President undermines our current President by speaking behind closed doors about sensitive information that could ultimately lead to our strengths and weaknesses being exposed. That sounds a little traitorous wouldn’t you agree?
Obama needs to back off and remember that he is no longer the President of The United States and has no business discussing such sensitive information. What he is doing is dangerous and must be stopped immediately. There is no third-term for you Obama, the American people spoke and you are old news. We are headed in a new direction, one that puts Americans first.
Our good friend Steve Straub at Federalist Papers points out that this could be construed as a violation of the Logan Act as defined by Cornell Law School:

“Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”
The meeting between the two came just after Obama spoke at the Asian Leadership Conference and the Fourth Congress of Indonesian Diaspora in Jakarta. As usual, he used his time bad-mouthing the current President and his policies. He bashed Trump for backing out of the Paris Climate accord and putting America first ahead of the rest of the world.
Obama stated in Indonesia –

“In Paris, we came together around the most ambitious agreement in history about climate change, an agreement that even with the temporary absence of American leadership can still give our children a fighting chance.”

Obama spent years praising Bush Jr. for stepping aside after his presidency but appears to have double standards for himself stating he is “still a citizen and that carries with it duties and obligations.” In other words, he is going nowhere.

First Lady Melania Trump doesn’t like the limelight, nor does she seek out adulation from the American people. So, when reports started to come out that she gave back something very valuable to the citizens of the United States, she didn’t want the White House to publicize it. What she restored was something that Michelle Obama had taken away, and as this story comes out, it’s causing the liberal loons to lose their minds, but you’ll love it.

Remember when the liberal media was screaming about Melania Trump staying at Trump Tower until Barron got out of school? They were ripping her apart, saying she was costing taxpayers gazillions of dollars, and she was such a spoiled rich wife of a billionaire that she had no concept that it was such a burden. Well, those liberal haters are eating crow now.

“According to a report published by a private organization that tracks government spending, Open the Books reveals that Melania Trump has saved more money with her staff than Michelle Obama did as the first lady. Melania has 19 fewer staffers dedicated to her office than Michelle did in the White House. Mrs. Trump has five staffers versus the 24 staffers who served Michelle Obama,” reports Inquisitr.

Melania could have 24 staffers, like Michelle, but part of the Trump plan was to streamline the White House staff, which under the Obamas had become a bloated bureaucracy. Michelle was such a prima donna that she employed numerous staffers, including schedulers, directors, planners, associates, social and press secretaries, and other assistants.

So, how much is Melania saving tax-payers? Approximately $5.1 million dollars a year, but that’s not all. Overall, the Trump White House is saving a total of $22 million dollars. “President Trump’s ‘leaner White House payroll,’ as reported by Forbes, is saving taxpayers $22 million overall. This information is verified by the fact that the current salaries for White House employees was made public on Friday. Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner are taking a total salary of zero dollars,” according to Inquisitr.

Since Melania Trump has lived the life of a very rich woman in her adult years, especially after marrying Donald Trump, common sense would suggest that she’d be the one who would go in for the lavish spending, but that’s just not so. On the other hand, Michelle Obama’s previous home was in Chicago, and while it was a beautiful house in an upscale neighborhood, it was far from the digs of the Oprah and Richard Branson set, who were two people the Obamas love to hobnob with on their lavish vacations. While one would think, given their histories, Michelle would expect fewer luxuries, her 8 years as the first lady proved that’s not the case, either.
We have to remember that Melania Trump grew up in a communist country. She grew up poor and watched her parents be very frugal with what little money they earned. “Melania grew up with humble roots in Sevnica, Slovenia, where she was known as Melanija Knavs and lived in Communist-style apartment housing that overlooked a river and smoking factory chimneys,” Associated Press reports.

Now, you won’t be hearing from the mainstream media about Melania giving back five million dollars to taxpayers each year after Michelle had been spending on her personal friends, hiring them as her staff during her eight years as the first lady. Even if Melania only stays in the White House for four years, that’s 20 million dollars she’s saving the American taxpayers.

It just goes to show you the character of Melania. No one would have questioned if she, like Michelle, hired 24 staffers. But, she knows Americans are hurting economically and that we elected her husband to help bring wealth and jobs back to America.

As per the usual these days, entitled brats of the left recently decided to gather in order to demand that President Donald Trump is impeached. Unfortunately for them, things would take a turn quickly after kicking off their little whine-fest rally – and just about every onlooker there was left completely shocked to see who else was in the crowd at the time.

The incident took place in San Diego in the heart of the very liberal California. However, as we all know, leftists like to enjoy the company of limited like minds and pat each other on the back as they celebrate how smart they all are.

Too bad for them, that’s not exactly a healthy way of living – at least, not in the real world. Before long, you get the idea that your way of thinking is flawless and that your opinion is more popular than it really is. After all, when everyone around you is saying the same thing, it’s easy to think that you’re in the overwhelming majority.

As these California liberals were about to find out that really wasn’t the case. In all, somewhere between 700-1,000 Impeach Trump protesters showed up for the most recent rally, but they weren’t the only ones.

Come to find out, attendees would be left shocked to see who else was in the crowd, wandering around with them as they marched down the street. According to reports, about 100 pro-Trump counter-protesters showed up, and that was all it took to actually drown out the liberal speakers.
Trump Supporters and “Proud Boys” crashed an Impeach Trump Party in San Diego on Sunday.

The pro-Trump counter-protesters drowned out the speakers with chants of, “USA! USA! USA!…”

There were about 700-1,000 Impeach Trump protesters and about 100 counter protesters.

The left may think they’re superior and always in the right, but that just isn’t the case. In fact, they pale in comparison to the passion, ambition, and sheer will-power of American conservatives.

When it comes down to it, all liberals like to do is waste time and energy on worthless crap. I mean, seriously – getting together for a giant whine-fest? That’s all this was. Trump hasn’t done anything wrong, and he certainly hasn’t done anything legally worthy of impeachment.

A word to the wise – just because you want something does not mean that you’re going to get it. The left needs to wake up because this madness isn’t doing them any favors. For one, it’s only making them look like petty children. Secondly, it’s actually hurting future efforts as people will take them less seriously the longer this continues.

Barack Obama is still on the lam in Indonesia after extending his vacation, and he just was caught doing duties overseas that only the U.S. President should be doing. Barack is trying to wield some power as he acts as a “shadow president.” Now, Donald Trump has a brutal surprise for Barack, and it’s not something that he will ever forget.

Former President Barack Obama seems to be feeling nostalgic for his old job, meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in Monday for 40 minutes. Not only that but the Korea Herald reported that Moon spoke about his recent meetings with President Trump in Washington and asked Obama for his advice on how to improve that relationship.

Right away, if you’re completely pissed off, you’re not alone. Who in the hell does Obama think he is? It’s obvious that Obama’s minions leaked to the Korea Herald that he’s giving Jae-in “advice on Trump.” This not only flies in the face of the roles of former presidents, going against the decorum which they should display in public, it’s a violation of the Logan Act.

“The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that details the fine and/or imprisonment of unauthorized citizens who negotiate with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States,” according to Wikipedia. While no one is really ever prosecuted for violation of the Logan Act, never have we had a nutjob like Obama running around acting like the “shadow president,” either.

Newt Gingrich, who works closely with President Trump, has indicated that Trump indeed has a nasty surprise waiting for Obama when he gets home. Obama can’t stay on the lam indefinitely, and after these shenanigans, Barack will have to come back and face the music.

“Guess what’s about to happen: The Congress is about to have to call Barack Obama in to testify under oath about when he knew about Russia meddling,” Gingrich said on Fox News’s “Fox & Friends. “Who told him? Why did he do nothing? Who was in the meetings when he decided to do nothing? It’s going to turn out, yes, there’s a big Russian story. It’s Barack Obama. Not Donald Trump. And you cannot make this stuff up.”
So, get ready for Obama to take the hot seat with Trey Gowdy after his National Security Adviser Susan Rice. If Rice is smart, she will save her own skin and point the finger at Obama who actually sat on information that some entity, they say the Russians, hacked into the Democratic Committee and possibly other organizations. But, with Hillary Clinton expected to win the election, Obama did not want to upset the election with any “hacking” news.

Gingrich said that Congress must seek answers from Obama as to why he did not do more to stop the cyber attacks during the campaign. “The Congress has an obligation to call him in. How can you be told the President of the United States knew last August the Russians were, in fact, involved in this and not ask him and ask him under oath? I mean, how can you be so irresponsible?” the former speaker said.

Obama even posed with the South Korean president in what looks like an “official” pic for a state visit. Why the South Korean leader would agree to such a meeting is beyond me, but somehow, Barack wormed his way in, in some sick attempt to look like he was in charge once again. What started out as a “family vacation,” morphed into a shadow president overseas tour. We knew something was amiss when Michelle and the girls mysteriously left Obama in Bali, without any media coverage.
