Rep. Frederica Wilson laughs that controversy over Gold Star widow has made her 'a rock star'
Washington Examiner ^ | October 19, 2017 | Philip Wegmann

A Florida woman is grieving the loss of her husband Army Sgt. La David Johnson. She's thinking about the orphaned children her husband left behind, probably wondering how she will parent a six-year-old, a toddler, and an unborn child who will never know her father.

But down in Florida, Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson is enjoying her newfound fame after she politicized the president's call to the widow. According to a local news report, Wilson is even laughing.

"You mean to tell me that I've become so important that the White House is following me and my words?" she said laughing, according to a report by Miami 7 News. "This is amazing. That's amazing. I'll have to tell my kids that I'm a rock star now."

Hours earlier, White House chief of staff John Kelly told reporters he "was stunned when I came to work yesterday morning and brokenhearted at what I saw a member of Congress doing." A former Marine Corps general, Kelly knows about sacrifice. He buried his own son, Marine 1st Lt. Robert Kelly, who was killed in 2010 while serving in Afghanistan.

"A member of Congress who listened in on a phone call from the president of the United States to a young wife, and in his way tried to express that opinion that he's a brave man, a fallen hero. He knew what he was getting himself into because he enlisted," Kelly said.

"There's no reason to enlist. He enlisted, and he was where he wanted to be, exactly where he wanted to be with exactly the people he wanted to be with when his life was taken. That was the message," Kelly concluded. "That was the message that was transmitted."

While Wilson was enjoying the media spotlight, her staff was smart enough to put out a statement on her behalf. A spokesperson said the Democrat will not be making any further comment on the issue because the focus should be on helping a grieving widow and family heal, not on her or Donald Trump." But maybe that staffer could teach Wilson some empathy. Maybe the congresswoman could even learn how to apologize — or at very least learn not to laugh publicly while a widow grieves.

Wilson is a piece of garbage.

That thing should resign from Congress.

Gold Star Widow Releases Trump’s Call After Husband Was Killed In Afghanistan
Daily Caller ^ | 10/20/2017 | Henry Rodgers
Posted on 10/20/2017, 9:25:15 AM by SeekAndFind

Gold star widow Natasha De Alencar released the audio of a phone conversation she had with President Donald Trump in April about the death of her husband who was killed in Afghanistan.

“I am so sorry to hear about the whole situation. What a horrible thing, except that he’s an unbelievable hero,” Trump told her in the call about her husband Army Staff Sgt. Mark R. De Alencar, which The Washington Post released.

“Thank you. I really, really appreciated it,” she said. “I really do, sir.”

Trump also told the widow if she is ever in Washington D.C. that she is welcome in the Oval Office.

“If you’re around Washington, you come over and see me in the Oval Office,” he said. “You just come over and see me because you are just the kind of family … this is what we want.”

“Say hello to your children, and tell them your father he was a great hero that I respected,” Trump said. “Just tell them I said your father was a great hero.”

The phone call was released after White House Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly pushed back against Florida Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson’s criticism that Trump told a Gold Star widow “he knew what he signed up for.”

She was in the limo driving the family to the airport to pick up the body. The call was on a speaker phone. Apparently she has known the family for along time, Sgt. Johnson was in some kind of youth mentoring program run by Wilson.

Frederica Wilson Paid Paki Congressional Spy, Imran Awan, $138,235 Tax Dollars

The Awans and their associates collected more than $5 million in US govt pay from congressional offices, including $138,235 tax dollars from Frederica Wilson {DEM-FLA}. The Awans often drawing chief-of-staff high-level pay though there is reason to believe many didn’t even show up.

The Awans are suspected of cybersecurity violations, tech procurement schemes, and running a theft ring out of the House Democratic Caucus. For months at a time, Imran handled House Democrats personal emails and intel from Pakistan, totally unsupervised.

The probe includes Paki IT's in six additional Florida Democrats’ offices:

Democratic congressional staffer Imran Awan (now under arrest), two brothers, two wives (one a Russian national) — all reportedly under federal criminal investigation —also worked for five other Democratic Florida members of Congress. The Paki clan as mentored and placed in Democrat offices by U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who is on the hot seat.

U.S. Democrat Cong. (A) Stephanie Murphy of Winter Park, (B) Darren Soto of Orlando, (C) Frederica Wilson of Miami Gardens, (D) Lois Frankel of West Palm Beach, and, (E) Former U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham of Tallahassee, now a gubernatorial candidate, also employed Awan or one of his family members, wife Hina Alvi, and brothers Jamal Awan and Abid Awan, as part-time, shared, information technology employees.

Imran's Paki pal, Rao Abbas, cashed US govt paychecks, but reportedly did not show up in Congress for work. http://www.commonsenseevaluation.com/

Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s ‘travel ban’ tweet BLEW UP in her face
Twitchy ^ | 10-17-2017 | Sarah D. / FR Posted by Sir Napsalot

Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s ‘travel ban’ tweet: "Trump's travel ban is cruel at its core. Minor changes can't erase the bigotry. " `

================================================

Debbie’s disgust prompted a valid question from tweeter @hale_razor: "What's your view on Pakistanis who want to travel home after stealing computers and state secrets while on your payroll?"

This is NOT a picture of Wasserman surrendering

===============================================

===============================================

House Democrat "Intel Gang of Eight", Cong Adam Schiff, told ABC News Sunday awhile back: “Indeed, it would be negligent for us not to investigate the Russian connection......if a foreign government…has something that they can hang over the head of our president that can influence U.S. policy, it is very much in our national security interest to know it.”

===========================================

TWEET TO DEBBIE: Democrat Cong Adam Schiff advanced the discredited Russian bunk, as Paki spies working in Democrat Congressional offices.....accessed US govt-issue computers teeming w/ sensitive intel involving the safety and security of Americans.

The deaf, dumb and blind Democrats gave the Awan spy ring a treasure trove of intel. Cong Schiff's House Intelligence Committee oversees all or part of the following executive branch departments and agencies:

• Office of the Director of National Intelligence

• Central Intelligence Agency

• Defense Intelligence Agency

• Department of Defense

• Department of Energy

• Department of Homeland Security

• Department of Justice

• Department of State

• Department of Treasury

• Drug Enforcement Administration

• Federal Bureau of Investigation

• National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency

• National Reconnaissance Office

• National Security Agency

• Office of Naval Intelligence

• Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency

• United States Army Intelligence and Security Command

• United States Coast Guard Intelligence

• Marine Corps Intelligence Activity

===============================================================

Democrats noticed nothing ---as the IT staff back-doored Congressional computers to siphon off classified security intel.

The IT staff then absconded, hustled out of sight.......shockingly given US visas while under criminal investigation.

Martha Raddatz of ABC News was completely unprofessional for not asking Schiff about the Capitol Hill breach.

Money is everything.

The solution to this empty hat is ... Alan Grayson.

Convince Grayson to move and pick up her seat!

This is akin to getting rid of her forever and making sure his old seat is still open to a possible charismatic GOP candidate.

"The deaf, dumb and blind Democrats gave the Awan spy ring a treasure trove of intel. Cong Schiff's House Intelligence Committee oversees all or part of the following executive branch departments and agencies"

And this alone, properly prepared and promoted, will retain the House for the GOP. The Senate was never in danger...

My prayers are with this poor widow. How horrible to lose your husband, the father of your unborn child, this way. I think the focus should be on her, and not that vicious Congressworm!
