BEHIND THE HEADLINES - June 2017

by Selma Alpert

VOTER  FRAUD.   A Pew Foundation study found 1.8 million dead voters registered on the rolls in 226 counties in 42 states.  There were more actual than registered voters.  Judicial Watch claims there are 20 million aliens of voting age.  . Experts have limited resources to prosecute illegal voting.

 

NEW  HELP.  President Trump has created a commission to investigate voter fraud, by executive order. This Presidential Commission on Election Integrity, will be led by Vice-President Pence.  This will be a difficult job.

 

PRAISE  FORDHAM.  A Catholic university, Fordham, has rejected the “Students for Justice in Palestine,” a terrorist-supporting, Muslim-front organization, from its campus.  SDS is the leading anti-Israel, pro-BDS agitator at the UC campuses. Congratulations go to Fordham.  We hope others will join them.  Unfortunately, Jewish Brandeis University is on a top-ten list of terrorist-friendly colleges.  That’s disgraceful.

 

SAFE Z0NES.  President Trump has gotten Saudi Arabia’s King to agree to support “safe zones” in Syria.  Skeptics are amazed.  Refugees will rejoice.

 

TRULY  NAMED.  Finally, the U.S. has designated the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps as “terrorists.”  Iran sponsors and strengthens Hezbollah, based in Lebanon.  The Corps have built up a missile force of multi-thousands in Lebanon.  They have trained Lebanese soldiers for a united attack on Israel.  Iran has trained with Hamas forces in Gaza, and built up the missile supply.  Iran is a serious threat to Israel’s survival.

 

RUSSIA  PROBE.  Russia has interfered in worldwide elections for years, U.S. security chiefs reported Russia did not affect the 2016 election results.  Polls show Donald Trump would win again if the election were held today.  

Why isn’t anyone investigating Hillary Clinton’s role in getting for Russia 20% of our precious U.S. uranium?  That is a very serious concern.
 

COMEY  FIRING.  In July, 2016, FBI Chief Comey presented a convincing case against Hillary Clinton but refused to proceed. Later he reopened it. Members of both parties wanted him to be fired.  Now President Trump has fired him, liberals are “outraged.”  Others say, “Why did you wait so long?”
