A Rather Strange Correlation to Assert

Anti-Military Dem Senate Candidate: Deaths of Illegals ‘Are Same as’ Deaths in Iraq

The Democratic nominee in the Arizona Senate race, Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, once appeared to compare the deaths of illegal immigrants crossing into the United States to the deaths of civilians massacred by a brutal dictator abroad — and possibly even U.S. troops killed fighting that same dictator.

Sinema’s ridiculous claims were reported Wednesday by The Washington Free Beacon.

The Democratic nominee’s most alarming claims were made when she discussed deaths of illegal immigrants to deaths in Iraq.

“To state that immigration is not a war or is not equal in magnitude to war, I believe, dishonors those who have died in this country and others as migrants,” Sinema wrote in an email.

“I volunteer with a group called No Mas Muertes—No More Deaths—and I cannot explain to you the pain that I suffered one hot day last July as I scoured the desert along with scores of others for the bodies of those who have died tortuous and painful deaths in our desert … Death is death, and to rank one form of death as being somehow more important than other death [sic] does us no good as humans. The deaths that people suffer in the Mexico-Arizona desert are the same as the deaths that people suffer in the Iraq desert — they are needless, senseless deaths.”

It was unclear exactly what comparison Sinema was drawing, but the Free Beacon pointed out that her email was written on April 4, 2006, the same day that an Iraqi court charged former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein with attempted genocide for using chemical weapons against Kurds in Iraq in a 1988 massacre. So she might have been referring to that barbarity.

However, Sinema has a radically anti-military past. In 2003 she participated in producing flyers depicting American soldiers as skeletons spreading “U.S. terror in Iraq and the Middle East.” It’s entirely possible she was actually equating the deaths of illegal immigrants to those of Americans in uniform, dying to protect a country they have sworn to serve.

Either comparison is morally bankrupt.

“Death is death, and to rank one form of death as being somehow more important than other death (sic) does us no good as humans,” Sinema explained pompously in the email.

Does Sinema owe the U.S. military an apology?

I’m going to have to strongly disagree with Sinema here.

For example, wouldn’t most people agree that it’s objectively bad for the U.S. if our soldiers suffer more deaths than our opponents?

Fortunately for Arizona voters, they have a far different alternative to vote for. Sinema’s opponent, Rep. Martha McSally, knows a thing or two about the United States military.

As a former A-10 “Warthog” pilot, she has more than 100 hours of combat patrol flying over the old Iraq “no-fly” zone, according to a Washington Post profile from 2002.

She retired from the Air Force as a full colonel in 2010, according to her congressional biography.

In an earlier campaign advertisement, McSally pointed out that while she was in the service of her country, Salima was safe at home, mocking the military that was fighting for her.

McSally said “while we were in harm’s way in uniform, Kyrsten Sinema was protesting us in a pink tutu and denigrating our service.”

And Sinema’s history has been noted by conservatives everywhere. In September, Missouri Republicans used it to attack the Show Me state’s incumbent Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill.

It’s clear where Sinema stands on the military.

The Democratic Party can’t help but attract people who don’t support our troops.

Every American voter needs to remember that in November’s midterms.

Another Death of Clinton Investigator

Although many people have forgotten all about the story, there is still an ongoing investigation into the still unproven claim that Donald Trump ‘colluded’ with Russian agents to win the 2016 election. A new report sheds light on an interesting possible link in that particular investigation, tying Michael Flynn to an operative.

According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, a veteran republican activist was looking to find out what happened to Hillary Clinton’s hacked emails shortly before he died. The Journal also suggested that this political operative’s links to General Michael Flynn may have played a role in his decision to search for those emails.

This operative was tied to Flynn via a friend’s emails, though the timing of his death, which came after he informed the WSJ about his investigation, is more than a little strange.

Unidentified sources told reporters at the WSJ that Peter Smith had, at very least, a professional relationship with General Flynn as far back as 2015.

In fact, the two had a meeting just after the good General left his position as the top man in the Defense Intelligence Agency.

In an email that the news organization somehow got hold of and reviewed, Joe Szobocsan, a former associate of Peter Smith’s, wrote to a friend to reveal that deceased political operative had a business relationship with the General, which started sometime in November 2015, at very least.

According to the paper, the political activist had used his connections with Flynn in order to further his project to track down Hillary Clinton’s missing and stolen emails.

The Journal had previously stated that Smith at very least ‘implied’ that he had connections to Mike Flynn. Although it sounds like nothing ever came of their ‘business relationship,’ the email concerning the 2015 meeting does seem to suggest that they had some ties to each other.

The paper said that in his quest to track down the emails from former Secretary of State Clinton’s hacked email server, he came into contact with a number of hackers, including at least two groups of hackers who appeared to be Russian.

Interestingly, as with others who looked into the Clinton family and their dealings a bit too intently, Smith died of what has been called a suicide.

Shortly after he spoke with the Wall Street Journal about his research, in fact, and weeks after he told friends that he thought he had finally found the elusive emails from the former Secretary of State’s server, he was found dead.

At this point, it is still unclear whether or not anyone knew about the investigation Smith had operated, or what it uncovered.

The Robert Mueller probe, however, would likely be extremely interested in the answer to that question.

Last week, the same newspaper agency that reported this most recent development in the Smith tale also reported that he raised at least $100,000 from four different backers in order to finance his work.

If it was found that Flynn had either backed the investigative work, or had helped the political activist to meet up with people who would be interested in paying for him to attempt to track down the Clinton emails, that could be problematic.

It would be even worse if it was somehow proved that the former General’s interest in Peter Smith’s work was not just on his own behalf, or because he thought it might harm the Hillary Clinton campaign and its chances, but as a representative of President Trump’s campaign and its interest in such matters.

It’s also strange that, once again, someone who was looking into the Clinton family and their secrets, including emails on their poorly-secured email server (which just happened to also contain classified documents), died suddenly.

The death and disappearance of people who publicly take positions contrary to the particular politically powerful line is so unusually common that it has become a meme, humorously used by many throughout the country, with lists counting down the number of such people who existed, usually suggesting that there are 40 or more.

It is likely to be difficult to figure out where, exactly, the money and connections came from that paid Smith to look into Mrs. Clinton’s missing emails.

If it is discovered that it came from Flynn, or from powerful and wealthy republicans that the former Donald J. Trump cabinet member and campaign ally helped connect to Mr. Smith, that could cause further legal troubles for him.

As it stands, Flynn will be sentenced in December, on one charge of “willfully and knowingly” making “false, fictitious, and fraudulent” statements to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
