CNN continues to censor best-selling author from its network

CNN, the most anti-Trump network on television, is censoring the #1 bestseller of the Trump presidency.

CNN apparently so fears author David Horowitz and his new book “Big Agenda: President Trump’s Plan to Save America” — they have told his publisher they will “never” have him on!

That’s shocking because Horowitz is a celebrated author and thinker — and his “Big Agenda” book has been sitting at the top of the New York Times bestseller list for over 9 weeks!

It’s also #1 on Amazon, and everyone in Washington and around the country is talking about “Big Agenda”!

Obviously, what America thinks doesn’t matter to CNN — because it’s radioactive for liberals — with CNN joining a list of other left-leaning networks like CBS, NBC and ABC that have put Horowitz on “the list” of banned conservative books and authors.

Remember the days when the liberals decried conservatives for supposedly creating such lists — they even called it McCarthyism!

Now, when the liberals do it to one of the most important books of the Trump presidency, and to an author close to the president and his top aides — he is censored.

This prompts the question: Why do CNN and the big media fear David Horowitz and “Big Agenda”?

Here’s the one really big reason: “Big Agenda” is the first book to expose the media for operating as a political force, an adjunct of the Democratic Party, to stop President Trump.

In “Big Agenda” Horowitz names names and reveals their plot to destroy Trump.

Horowitz also was the first to share Trump’s “secret plan” to take back America and drain the swamp in Washington during his first 100 days.

In fact, Horowitz has detailed 21 major moves President Trump was going to take — and already 11 have come true!

Now, in “Big Agenda,” Horowitz says the White House will reveal a major offensive against the liberal establishment right after the first 100 days — which he calls “Phase Two.”

The Trump plan has 3 major phases, Horowitz says.

You might be shocked about Phase Two. It includes a major war Trump will actually begin, one that will decimate a certain group and demonstrate America’s resolve like no other.

You really need to get “Big Agenda” today!

“Big Agenda” has been hailed by leading conservatives, including Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Lou Dobbs, Mike Reagan, and others.

They say it’s the only book exposing the media and offering Trump’s real agenda with a plan for you to help our president!

Make sure you get your copy today!

Get “Big Agenda”

Horowitz says several major “big shoes” will soon be dropped by Trump that will send shockwaves through the establishment. It’s all in the book!

“No president since FDR and his famed ‘100 Days’ has the chance Donald Trump has,” Horowitz argues.

But he writes that the GOP and Trump must recognize that they are not just fighting policy ideas, but an ideology — a progressive one with a radical agenda to stop Trump in an effort to reduce America’s power and greatness.

Horowitz warns that former President Obama has created nothing less than a “government in exile” to thwart, obstruct and even destroy President Trump and his agenda! Horowitz was the first to warn about this!

Now even President Trump agrees with David Horowitz — Obama won’t go away!

That’s why we must do everything we can to help our president!

USS Carl Vinson Aircraft Carrier Spotted Near Indonesia, Not North Korea

The USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier is still several thousand miles south of North Korea despite reports last week that claimed it was heading to the volatile region.

Stars and Stripes reported Monday that the Carl Vinson strike group was actually making its way toward Australia last week for a planned port visit.

The Navy posted photos online showing the ships sailing near Indonesia over the weekend, which put the flotilla roughly 3,500 miles away from North Korea.

Several news reports last week claimed the Carl Vinson and several ships that accompany it were steaming toward the Sea of Japan to keep a close eye on North Korea. The White House even said that was the case.

After the Navy’s image of the ships spread across the internet, the narrative changed.

The New York Times reported Tuesday that the Department of Defense got its timeline wrong and announced the Vinson’s deployment to the Korean peninsula too early. It’s not clear why that was not corrected, although military officials don’t make a habit out of giving away the position of its ships across the world.

According to Stars & Stripes, the U.S. Pacific Fleet said in a statement the visit to Australia was scrapped.

“The Carl Vinson Strike Group cancelled a previously planned port visit to Australia and is continuing on track for all assigned missions in the Western Pacific,” the statement reads.

'Shattered' Author: Ill-Tempered Hillary Unwilling to Go Out, Persuade Voters

Hillary Clinton annoyed many Democrats when she turned her campaign to the left and was unable to persuade voters to elect her president, Jonathan Allen, co-author of “Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign,” told Newsmax TV on Tuesday.

“Her campaign’s approach was to turn out the base as much as possible, and they spent a lot of time trying to churn people out and not so much time on persuasion,” Allen, head of content at the political news website SideWire, told host Bill Tucker on Tuesday’s “America Talks Live.”

“As part of that, she moved to the left . . . [and] there were a lot of people in the Democratic Party that weren’t pleased with her. By moving to the left, she placated some of them but obviously not all of them.

“Not enough Democrats showed up for her in the right places to win the election. . . . Sources in the book talk about her inability to go out, and unwillingness to go out and try to persuade people.”

Allen, whose book is co-written by The Hill’s Amie Parnes and published by Crown, said successful candidates must be able to bridge the divides within their party.

“The left, the center, the right, within their own party, and then attract some other people, so she wasn’t able to do that,” he told Tucker.

“Mostly there was an inability to turn out the hard left that was angry at her . . . and I think she wasn’t able to bring in a lot of those white working-class Democrats who she didn’t really have a message for.”

And why was not she able to convey that message, something her husband, two-term president Bill Clinton was an expert at?

“That’s one of the great inexplicable questions in this campaign,” Allen said. “I mean it was evident to her campaign team that she was having trouble. . . . Our sources told us about a couple situations where she seemed to lose her temper.

“There’s one good story in the book about after her losing the Michigan primary, she kind of turned on one of her top aides. He was criticizing her debate performance, her debate prep performance.

“She was doing her preparatory work on the debate, and he would cut her off and say, that’s not very good, and finally she got tired of it and said, ‘why don’t you try it,’ and she turned around and made him play her, and she kept cutting him off, and telling him he wasn’t doing a very good job.”

Allen added: “The infighting is definitely there, the way that she dealt with her staff, she and her husband reamed them out for not being able to figure out how to get past the email issue . . . and start talking about her economic message . . .

“Clearly what she needed to do was apologize and start that contrition thing with the American public. She just wouldn’t do it.”

Allen said when election results showed she would lose to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, her aides tried to convince her to give an impassioned concession speech in which she would promote Democratic values.

He said they wanted her to stand up “for people that she thought would be treated poorly under a Trump administration.”

“And she says, ‘You know what guys, that’s somebody else’s job now; that’s not my job. I lost, that was my last race.'”

Attack Near Egypt's St Catherine's Monastery Kills One, Injures Four


An attack on security forces near Egypt’s St Catherine’s Monastery in south Sinai has killed at least one person and injured four, state television said on Tuesday.

Security sources said it was carried out by gunmen on a police checkpoint several hundred metres from the church entrance. No group claimed responsibility.

The attack comes just over a week after two bombings on Egyptian churches during Palm Sunday services, claimed by Islamic State, killed 45 people. Pope Francis is to visit Egypt at the end of April.

St Catherine’s is one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world and a UNESCO world heritage site. Attacks are common in northern Sinai, where an insurgency by Islamist militants has raged for years, but rare in south Sinai.

“That monastery and church are from the 6th century. It’s one of the oldest continuing monasteries, has one of the oldest libraries with priceless manuscripts, and is hugely symbolic,” said Johnnie Moore, evangelical author of “Defying ISIS: Preserving Christianity in the Place of Its Birth and in Your Own Backyard.” “It’s impossible to overestimate the significance of this act of terror. Had they succeeded, it would have been discussed in the next 5,000 years of church history.

“The terrorists in Egypt at going after the most significant places. They previously went after the Coptic pope’s complex, and the Catholic pope is visiting next week.”

Larry Kudlow: Americans Need Trump's Review of Foreign Workers

Larry Kudlow, the former economics adviser to President Ronald Reagan, said President Donald Trump is “on the right track” with an executive order to review how foreign workers are permitted to reside temporarily in the U.S.

The president on Tuesday ordered the review of the H-1B visa system, which critics say gets abused when companies to replace U.S. workers with lower-paid foreigners. Trump is targeting information-technology outsourcing companies that use the visas to hire low-paid, less-skilled workers.

“The question is: Are the Silicon Valley firms playing by the rules, or they are trying to undercut the specialized, American techie work force?” Kudlow said on cable channel CNBC. If there are abuses, then the system should be changed, Kudlow said.

Trump pledged during his campaign to use presidential authority to urge companies to “Buy American” products and “Hire American” workers. Kudlow was an economics adviser to the Trump campaign who helped to make tax cuts a central campaign promise.

Employers submitted 199,000 applications for the 85,000 H-1B visas available in the 2018 lottery, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The number of applications fell from 236,000 last year.

Trump’s order asks agencies for ideas on how to get visas in the hands of the most skilled and highly paid applicants. The administration would like to get rid of the lottery system, an unnamed official told the Bloomberg newswire.

Kudlow repeated his call for tax cuts as being the most important catalyst for faster economic growth.

Last week, Kudlow urged impatience investors to give Trump more time to fully enact his strategies to reform healthcare, spark economic growth and redesign the tax system.

After all, Trump has been in office a relatively short time and has inherited a mountain of problems from the past two decades.

“He’s trying to fix a lot of problems that have gone unfixed in the last 20 years,” Kudlow explained to CNBC.

“He still wants tax reform and healthcare reform. Those are big issues for him.” the Newsmax Finance Insider said. “He’s been in 80 days, give him a chance,” said Kudlow, who advised the Trump campaign on economic issues.

Kudlow is the author of “JFK and the Reagan Revolution: A Secret History of American Prosperity,” written with Brian Domitrovic and published by Portfolio.

Rep. Royce: 'Turkey's Creeping Authoritarianism Continues'

Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., denounced a referendum in Turkey that expanded President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s powers over the legislature and judiciary, The Hill reported.

“Turkey’s creeping authoritarianism continues,” Royce, the House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair, said in a statement Tuesday. “All who value democracy, pluralism and Turkey’s key role in the region should be concerned about the elimination of important checks and balances in the Turkish system.”

He added, “I am especially troubled by initial reports of irregularities and an ‘unlevel playing field’ from independent election observers, and I will review the full body of facts when they are released in the days ahead.”

Hours before, President Donald Trump called Erdogan to personally congratulate him.

Voting irregularities were reported during the referendum, which gives Erdogan the power to appoint ministers and top judges and call elections whenever he likes. It also transfers power to the president by taking away the position of prime minister. Erdogan on Sunday called the passage of the referendum a “historic decision.”

Under Fire for Violent Videos, Facebook Wants to Move Into 'Augmented Reality'

Facebook wants you to sit in your bedroom wearing a headset and take a virtual vacation with faraway friends and family. Or use your smartphone’s camera to spruce up your dinky apartment, at least virtually.

The promise of augmented and virtual reality was a big focus of Facebook’s annual conference for developers on Tuesday. CEO Mark Zuckerberg kicked off the gathering of programmers and other tech folks by talking about augmented reality tools he envisions on Facebook.

Augmented reality involves the project of computer-generated images into real-world surroundings. Zuckerberg said new phone-based applications might let you create a three-dimensional scene from a single two-dimensional photo or splatter the walls of your house with colorful digital art. (You’d see the digital additions by looking “through” your phone at the augmented physical world.)

Facebook executives stressed that the technology is still in its early stages, and that the “journey to the future of augmented reality is just one percent finished,” as Deb Liu, vice president of platform and marketplaces, put it.

Facebook also launched a virtual world, called Facebook Spaces, designed to let users of its Oculus Rift VR headset hang out with their friends wherever they might be. It’s the first time the company has connected the Rift to its social network in a meaningful way, though it’s a development Zuckerberg hinted at when the company bought Oculus back in 2014.

The Facebook founder also briefly addressed a tragedy that took place Monday, when a man posted video of a murder on Facebook. That raised questions about the company’s ability to monitor gruesome material on its site.

Zuckerberg said Facebook has “a lot of work” to do on this front.

John Glenn Honored with Launch of Space Station Supply Ship

John Glenn’s trailblazing legacy took flight Tuesday as a cargo ship bearing his name rocketed toward the International Space Station.

An Atlas rocket provided the late morning lift to orbit, just as it did for Glenn 55 years ago.

The commercial cargo ship, dubbed the S.S. John Glenn, holds nearly 7,700 pounds (3,500 kilograms) of food, equipment and research for the space station. It’s due there Saturday, two days after the arrival of two fresh astronauts.

NASA’s shipper, Orbital ATK, asked Glenn’s widow, Annie, for permission to use his name for the spacecraft, following his December death.

Glenn, an original Mercury 7 astronaut, became the first American to orbit the Earth in 1962. He launched again in 1998 aboard shuttle Discovery at age 77, the oldest person ever in space. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery two weeks ago.

“It’s a great tribute to John to be able to take his name to orbit once again,” said Frank Culbertson, a former astronaut who now heads Orbital ATK’s space systems group.

Besides supplies, the capsule contains a banner showing Glenn in his orange space shuttle launch suit — it’s the first thing the station astronauts will see when they open the craft — as well as memorabilia for his family. Because the launch was delayed a month by hydraulic problems at the pad and on the rocket, no Glenn family members were able to make it to Cape Canaveral, according to Culbertson.

Orbital ATK — one of NASA’s prime delivery services for the space station, along with SpaceX — normally uses its own Virginia-based Antares rockets to launch its Cygnus cargo ships, named after the swan constellation. But it opted for the United Launch Alliance’s bigger Atlas V rocket in order to carry up a heftier load. A new, larger greenhouse is flying up, along with equipment needed for a spacewalk next month.

“Looks like we nailed the orbit once again,” said Vern Thorp, a manager for the rocket maker.

NASA’s 360-degree video streaming of the launch — the first such attempt for a live broadcast — didn’t go as well. Something went wrong moments before liftoff, and the video skipped over the actual rising of the rocket from the pad. NASA said it would try again, perhaps on an upcoming SpaceX delivery mission.

Three astronauts currently are at the outpost, which is orbiting 250 miles (402.32 kilometers) high. The American, Russian and Frenchman on board will be joined Thursday by another American and Russian who will take off from Kazakhstan.

SpaceX and Boeing are developing new capsules that could fly U.S. astronauts to the space station as early as next year.

It was the last launch commentary for NASA spokesman George Diller, who is retiring next month after nearly four decades. His was the voice at liftoff for the final space shuttle flight, by Atlantis, in 2011, as well as the send-off of the Hubble Space Telescope in 1990 and all five Hubble-servicing missions, among numerous other launches.

“We’re really, really going to miss hearing your golden voice on console during launch, George,” said Kennedy Space Center’s director, Robert Cabana, patting him on the back.

“I’m sure when I’m retired and up in the mountains somewhere, there’s a launch going, it will be hard not to tune it in some way,” Diller replied.

Kinzinger: ISIS, al-Qaida Link Reports May Suggest Weakening

Reports surfacing ISIS and al-Qaida are joining forces could be an indication the United States, under President Donald Trump, is already winning the war against the insurgents, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., said Tuesday.

“When your enemies are fighting each other, that’s a good thing,” Kinzinger told Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” noting there is both good news and bad news about the report.

“They’ve been competing for the last number of years for supremacy in the radical Islamist movement,” Kinzinger said. “They both claim they’re the leader.”

But the good news comes, he continued, because al-Qaida realizes it is not safe after the recent raids in Yemen, and after attacks in other places, and ISIS has been rolled back in Iraq and knows its time is limited in Raqqa and Afghanistan.

“So you see all this, and I think now in desperation, these two sides are coming together, saying we can’t compete with each other, or we’ll lose,” Kinzinger concluded.

Iraqi Vice President Ayad Allawi told Reuters earlier Tuesday he had gotten information from contacts in Iraq and the region the two groups are exchanging ideas about ways to join forces, Fox News reported.

“I don’t know exactly when, but there are discussions and dialogues between messengers,” Allawi said, adding it is not clear how the two groups will work together.

Allawi said ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri have not been communicating with each other directly, but with the use of intermediaries.

Kinzinger said the two men remain top targets, but many people do not understand is not easy to look for them.

“When we looked for Saddam Hussein, for a long time, it took a ground presence,” Kinzinger said. “Finding somebody and killing them is not the easiest thing.”

Trump’s approach is different from what President Barack Obama did, because Trump is using Special Forces raids to gather information and then using that to hit the terrorists, Kinzinger said.

“When I was in Iraq, that’s what we would do,” said Kinzinger, a major in the Air National Guard, who has flown missions in the Middle East while in the Air Force. “We would find top targets and unravel their networks, and that’s what we need to do and how to win the war.”

F-22 Fighter Jets Intercept Russian Bombers Flying Near Alaska

Two Russian bombers flew within 100 miles of Alaska’s Kodiak Island Monday night, prompting the U.S. to scramble two stealth fighter jets and an AWACS plane to intercept them.

According to Fox News, the Tu-95 “Bear” bombers got about 280 miles southwest of Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage.

After the bombers entered the United States’ Air Defense Identification Zone, two F-22 stealth fighter jets and a Boeing E-3 Sentry, commonly known as an AWACS, took off from Elmendorf to make an intercept.

Fox News reported the F-22s flew next to the bombers for 12 minutes before the Russian planes turned around and flew back to their home base.

Current U.S.-Russian relations are at a “low point,” Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said during a recent trip to Moscow.

A Russian spy ship was spotted shadowing the east coast of the U.S. in February and March.
