Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein Resigns, Thanks Trump for ´Courtesy and Humor´ in Personal Conversations
replies
On Monday, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein submitted his resignation to President Trump, effective May 1. Rosenstein pointed out in his letter that the "median tenure of a Deputy Attorney General is l6 months, and few serve longer than two years." When his resignation becomes effective on May 1, Rosenstein will have served just over two years. In his letter to the president, Rosenstein lauded the Department of Justice for making "rapid progress in achieving the Administration´s law enforcement priorities reducing violent crime, curtailing opioid abuse, protecting consumers, improving immigration enforcement, and building confidence in the police while preserving national security
A Manhattan judge on Monday gave city officials the green light to open a controversial homeless shelter in the ritzy “Billionaires’ Row” neighborhood. State Supreme Court Justice Alexander Tisch rejected arguments from the West 58th Street Coalition and other opponents that the former Park Savoy Hotel doesn’t meet current safety standards and is unsafe in case of fire. Tisch ruled that while the only way out is through the lobby and the stairwell may be too narrow for both tenants and first responders at the same time, “these are all aspects for which the City and its agencies are supposed
After Congresswomen Ilham Omar’s and Rashida Tlaib’s incendiary anti-Semitic rants directed at Jewish Americans and American ally Israel, the Democrat House “progressive caucus,” led by Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, rallied around to protect and support them. The progressive media chimed in, supporting the Islamist congresswomen. Even after Rep. Omar dismissed the 9/11 attacks as “someone did something,” Democrat progressives defended her, accusing the president of religious bigotry when he objected. Not to be outdone, the ever more progressive and pro-Islamist New York Times published a political cartoon that even they admit is anti-Semitic, as well as an article claiming that Jesus
During an interview last week with PJ Media‘s Nick Ballasy, Ben Rhodes, former deputy national security adviser to President Obama, strenuously denied that the Obama White House had anything to do with the improper surveillance of the Trump campaign. Echoing a familiar Obama refrain, Rhodes, in fact, insisted that he “literally” read about the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Trump for the first time in the newspaper (“the frickin’ Washington Post” to be exact). The interview took place at Georgetown University on Thursday, where Rhodes was appearing to discuss his book, The World as It Is: A Memoir of the Obama
A Brigham Young University student quoted the Book of Mormon before he came out as a "gay son of God" during his commencement speech.The audience cheered on Matt Easton, a political science valedictorian, on Friday as he made the announcement publicly for the first time at the school owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."I have felt another triumph; that of coming to terms, not with who I thought I should be, but who the Lord has made me to be," the BYU graduate said. "As such, I stand before the Lord, my family, my graduating class
President Trump suggested Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein participated in the planning of “a very illegal act” against him. He suggested Rosenstein was a “totally conflicted” overseer of the Russia investigation. He flirted with firing him, saying he had the right to do so “absolutely.” And he regularly derided him as a Democrat from Baltimore, even though neither was true; Rosenstein is a Republican from Pennsylvania. On Monday, after spending the last few weeks defending and lending his credibility to Attorney General William P. Barr’s handling of the end of the Russia probe, Rosenstein announced his resignation
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who frequently found himself in the political crosshairs due to his role in the special counsel´s Russia probe and whose departure has long been expected, submitted his resignation on Monday to President Trump, effective May 11. Attorney General William Barr in a statement said Rosenstein served the Justice Department "with dedication and distinction.""His devotion to the Department and its professionals is unparalleled," the statement read. "Over the course of his distinguished government career, he has navigated many challenging situations with strength, grace, and good humor."In his resignation letter, Rosenstein thanked Trump "for the opportunity to
A New York woman is facing charges after calling 911 to ask the operator how to kill her boyfriend, according to police. Zelda Cotton, 54, of Tonawanda, was arrested Saturday after calling 911 to ask for ways to kill her boyfriend, police said. She faces charges of endangering the welfare of an elderly person and criminal possession of a weapon. Her bail has been set at $5,000, according to ABC7. Police responded to the home after Cotton told them she had struck her 76-year-old boyfriend
Former Vice President Joe Biden, who is looking to become the oldest candidate elected president, said Friday that he wasn’t interested in pledging to serve only one term in office. Biden, who would be 78 on Inauguration Day 2021, said in an interview on ABC’s “The View” that it is fair for voters to ask questions about his age as they weigh his candidacy. Asked if he would only serve a single term if elected, Biden said, "No." “I think it’s important for people—it’s a legitimate question to ask about my age,” Biden said in the interview. “Hopefully, I
Former Vice President Joe Biden held his first rally in Pennsylvania on Monday. He even got the Drudge Report headline: (Photo) Unfortunately, only 2,000 people tuned in to watch his first big rally.

Sensing the lack of a Democratic candidate willing to challenge Sen. Susan Collins (R., Maine), a "queer feminist mermaid" named Bre Kidman—politically mobilized by the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation fight—has filed to enter the race. Collins has represented Maine in the Senate since 1997, and each of her three reelection fights have ended with double-digit margin victories. But Democrats responded to her deciding vote to confirm Kavanaugh by vowing to make her run for a fifth term a real challenge, expecting a crowded field of candidates to step up to the plate.
Rapist and murderers could be set free after age 55 if ‘crazy’ bill proposed by NYC Dems passes

New York City Republicans and law enforcement officials are incensed over a proposal seeking to grant parole eligibility to older inmates who have served some prison time. Currently imprisoned felons, including murderers and rapists, could be out on the street again if the controversial state bill passes, allowing inmates aged 55 and older who have been in prison at least 15 years to be eligible for parole. (Video) New York City councilman Joe Borelli blasted the “elder parole” bill with its automatic eligibility during an appearance on “Fox & Friends First” Monday. “These are not people that stole a candy
A Reseda man planned to detonate improvised explosive devices at several Southern California locations to cause “mass casualties” in a terror plot thwarted by law enforcement officials, authorities said Monday. Mark Stevens Domingo, 26, an Army veteran, was arrested Friday night after he took delivery of what he thought was a live bomb from an undercover law enforcement officer posing as a bombmaker, officials said. He was charged with attempting to provide material support to terrorists.
This week’s Liberal Media Scream features a new attack on President Trump from MSNBC’s "Morning Joe" show, this time blaming the president for inciting terrorism and anti-Semitism. Joe Scarborough on Monday’s show blamed Trump and Attorney General William Barr for the possible release from jail of Coast Guard Lt. Christopher Hasson, who is accused of plotting a domestic terrorist attack. But it is a federal judge who will hear and decide that request for release. “Donald Trump and Attorney General Barr and the Trump Justice Department let him walk,” Scarborough charged, though Hasson is still behind bars. Scarborough offered a villainous
Employers seeking to avoid lawsuits in the hypersensitive age of the #MeToo movement are looking to ban even the most innocuous professional courtesies, including handshakes. (Video) Last week, Kate Palmer, associate director of advisory at human resources consultancy Peninsula and an alleged “expert” on the matter, said that employers may soon seek to ban “all forms of physical contact to avoid confusion about what kind of touch is appropriate,” according to The Sun of Britain. Employers would implement clear-cut “black and white” no-contact policies to avoid any potential situation that could lead to a harassment lawsuit, Palmer told the outlet,
ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has appeared in a new video for the first time in nearly five years, vowing to get revenge for his dead militants and claiming the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka were in retaliation for his group´s defeat in Syria. The leader of the Islamist group gave his last sermon at the Great Mosque in Mosul, Iraq, in July 2014. He has not appeared in a video since announcing the creation of the so-called caliphate from the pulpit of the Al-Nuri mosque nearly five years ago in a clip played around the world. In the 40-second
Hillary Clinton poked fun at her former rival Donald Trump with a dramatic reading from the passage of the Mueller report where the president declares: ´I´m f***ed.´ The 2016 Democratic nominee and her husband Bill took a break from their speaking tour ´An Evening with the Clintons´ to sit down with comedian Jordan Klepper. The host of Comedy Central´s ´Klepper´ and his guests were discussing GoFundMe causes worthy of a $1,000 donation when they came across a campaign raising money for Hillary to record an audiobook of the special counsel´s report. ´Gosh, I would definitely do that,´ Hillary said before
Austria’s deputy leader has said his party is fighting against a “replacement” of the native population, endorsing a term usually employed by the extreme right, as the country’s rightwing populists double down on their rhetoric before the European elections. Heinz-Christian Strache, the deputy chancellor in Austria’s conservative-nationalist coalition government and the leader of the far-right Freedom party (FPÖ), told the Krone newspaper on Sunday that his party was “consistently following the path for our Austrian homeland, the fight against population replacement, as people expect of us.” When the interviewer interjected to say “population replacement” was a term associated
Lake Calhoun is back on the map. The state Court of Appeals ruled Monday that the former Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Tom Landwehr lacked authority to change the name of the lake because the name had existed for more than 40 years. In January 2018, Landwehr ordered the lake’s name revert to its original Dakota name: Bde Maka Ska. The federal government approved it and signs around the lake were changed. But the unanimous opinion by a three-judge panel said the name will go back to Calhoun because Landwehr’s action was illegal and only the Legislature holds the authority
Julie Lensing saw the story, “Serial rapist targets escorts, assaults them at knife-point” and felt sick to her stomach. She recognized the suspect, Kenyatta Buckles, because she had been a juror when he was on trial for an earlier rape. Lensing was convinced he was guilty. Other jurors disagreed and eventually acquitted him.(Snip) It wasn’t the first time Buckles, 24, had avoided prison. During the past five years, Buckles has been convicted of two felonies and charged with several others. He admitted to violating his probation three times, and warrants had been issued for his arrest at least 10 times
Kirsten Gillibrand´s fundraising has been so anemic that she may not be able to participate in the party´s presidential debates — unlike Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard, who already have made the cut. It turns out that, at least in a crowded field, being stupid and unprincipled can be a handicap for a Democrat. Who knew? Kirsten Gillibrand, who managed to become a U.S. senator only because Hillary Clinton vacated her seat to become Obama´s SecState and the governor of New York wanted a woman to fill the seat,
Is there anything more wretched than a leftist who´s late to the party? Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden says he got a new something to offer us — a promise to "rebuild" the middle class. The Democrat will hold his first big campaign event Monday in Pittsburgh to lay out his "vision for rebuilding America´s middle class," his campaign said. Biden spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield said Mr. Biden´s ability to raise $6.3 million in the first 24 hours of his campaign last week shows that Americans are ready, in part, for someone who can "rebuild the middle class so everyone gets a fair shot."
The recent fire in Notre Dame Cathedral has highlighted the attempts of the powerful to control the news. The Paris prosecutor, Rémy Heitz, has decided the fire was "likely accident, not arson." When reporting his decision, it is easy to eliminate the word "likely" for the sake of brevity. (Please excuse the sarcasm.) Luke Baker, Reuters´s Paris bureau chief, tweeted, "Fire at Paris´ Notre Dame cathedral was started by accident and is related to ongoing work, according to France 2, citing police." There it is: the orthodox truth.
One night in early April, roughly 20 of the Democratic Party’s highest-profile donors from the financial industry sat down over dinner to discuss how exactly they were feeling about the 2020 presidential race. For the most part, it wasn’t great. Convened by two veterans of liberal fund-raising — investors Steven Rattner and Blair Effron — the group had no hard-and-fast agenda except to share notes on the overflowing field of candidates. The crowd of Democratic heavyweights, including Clinton-administration Treasury secretary and Goldman Sachs and Citi alum Robert Rubin, former ambassador to France Jane Hartley, and venture capitalist
The Clintons are on edge about 2020. Like pretty much every other Democrat in America, Bill and Hillary are nervous that their party’s primary field is too large, that it’s going to be dominated by the wrong kind of debate, that the candidates will succumb to their worst instincts, and that President Donald Trump will out-bully them anyway. While Trump was holding a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Saturday night, the once and would-be presidents spent the evening onstage, in the latest stop of the traveling show they’ve been doing all around the country
Trinity College professor Johnny Eric Williams is capturing headlines once again for proposing “whiteness is terrorism” on Twitter. The Hartford, Connecticut, sociology professor who called white people “inhuman a-holes” who need to “die” following a shooting attack on congressional Republicans now says “whiteness is terrorism.” School officials, as they did during for years, are standing by the professor.(Snip) Mr. Williams, who is black, switched his account settings to private after the April 21 tweets. “All self-identified white people (no exceptions) are invested in and collude with systemic white racism/white supremacy,” he also tweeted, the Hartford Courant reported
After Poway rabbi thanks Trump, can we now dispense with the canard that Trump is anti-Semitic?

For years, President Trump´s opponents on the Left have attempted to pin the label of anti-Semitism on him. In the wake of the vile attack on the Poway synagogue, the response from Rabbi Yishoel Goldstein, who was wounded in the attack, tells a different story: As I was in my house, I received a personal phone call from our president, Donald Trump. I was amazed to answer the phone, and, say, the secretary of the White House is calling, and he spent close to ten, 15
The ruthless Saudi government is beheading so many people it needs to recruit a deadly new squad of sword-wielding executioners. The news comes after it slaughtered 37 people in one bloody day last week meaning it is now tipped to kill a record number of its citizens in 2019. The Sharia law-run state has advertised for eight new executioners to handle the projected rise in brutal public beheadings. No special qualifications are needed for the jobs whose main role is “executing a judgement of death” but also involves performing amputations on those convicted of lesser offences. The macabre job advert
MODESTO, Calif. — Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke on Monday released a sweeping, $5 trillion plan to combat what he regularly refers to as the “greatest threat” our nation faces: climate change. O’Rourke’s four-pillar framework, detailed in a campaign memo, combines proposed executive action with legislation he pledges to introduce within his first 100 days in office and outlines further steps to take in response to climate-related disasters in the future. It amounts to the first major policy rollout for a campaign that critics have targeted for being light on specifics. “The greatest threat we face — which will

Prior to March 9th, 2016, the political surveillance and spy operations of the Obama administration were using the FBI and NSA database to track/monitor their opposition. However, once the NSA compliance officer began initiating an internal review of who was accessing the system, the CIA and FBI moved to create ex post facto justification for their endeavors. [Full Backstory] After the November 8th, 2016, election everyone within the Obama network associated with the Trump surveillance operation was at risk.

The evil psychopaths who shot up the synagogues in Poway and Pittsburgh undoubtedly share a number of traits in common, but prominent among them is unremitting hatred of Donald Trump. The Poway shooter put it — how shall we say it — in succinct terms, calling the president a "Zionist, Anti-White, Traitorous, C*cksucker." His Pittsburgh doppelgänger was almost as disgusting. Despicable as they are, these two creatures can´t really be accused of Trump Derangement Syndrome, because, unlike many in mainstream media, they are at least somewhat correct in their assessment. Trump is pro-Israel, indeed likely the most pro-Israel president since Truman,
Hours before Joe Biden hits the campaign trail for the first time as a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, the former vice president landed his first major endorsement.

Those of us who live in solid Democrat strongholds amidst single-minded leftists will know what it is like to attempt a civil conversation about President Trump. This is especially true if one encounters those true-blue Dems in the wealthiest areas of California, NY or DC. Because they are wealthy, successful, often educated at one of the prestige colleges, they know, with every fiber of their being, that they are smarter, wiser and better than any of us lowly, deplorable Trump supporters.
The last thing we expect mid-spring is snow. Yet that’s just what we have.

Otherwise it’s just more blather and fear mongering

At the same time, the FBI deployed multiple human assets with the brief to penetrate the Trump campaign

One of the strangest things about the series of psychodramas that surround the ongoing effort to remove President Trump before the 2020 election is progressive schizophrenia. In teenage fashion, one moment a player in the Trump removal intrigue is deemed by the media-progressive nexus a demigod. The next moment, he’s a devil. It depends solely on his perceived sense of utility. (Snip) When Robert Mueller was appointed in May 2017 as special counsel to investigate alleged Trump campaign “collusion” with Russia following the firing of FBI Director James Comey, he was practically canonized as a secular saint.
The Washington Post, apparently written and edited by the descendants of Henny Penny, is advising us to “start planning for the fact that climate change is” going to cause natural disasters to become more destructive. “The Environmental Protection Agency published a 150-page document this past week with a straightforward message for coping with the fallout from natural disasters across the country,” the Post reported over the weekend. “The language, included in guidance on how to address the debris left in the wake of floods, hurricanes and wildfires.” Apparently we are to be not only supposed to be frightened

The showdown that is brewing between Attorney General William Barr and the House Judiciary Committee poses enormous dangers for President Trump. It might not look that way at first blush. The feud, after all, is ostensibly over the terms under which Mr. Barr is to testify before the House about the report from the special prosecutor, Robert Mueller. It has yet to ripen into a formal impeachment proceeding. Mr. Barr might be able to win this fight.

What if correctional facility prisoners throughout the country were allowed to vote for any candidate they wanted and there just so happened to be a candidate who ran on the promise that if elected all sentences would be commuted to time served? And by voting together these prisoners constituted a majority, are there any doubts as to who would win and what the results would be? Well, there is no need to think in the hypothetical for the answer because the results of such a system are seen in most major liberal cities across the United States. And it´s all
It is said that Washington is Hollywood for ugly people. That is, of course, an insult to homely people everywhere. But if Washington is the Hollywood of anything, then the insufferably tedious White House Correspondents’ Association dinner held every year is, truly, the Oscars of Washington. Every spring, frumpy, ink-stained wretches squeeze themselves into ridiculously mismatched tuxedos and sequined gowns straining at the seams and — I am not kidding — walk across a plush red carpet to the snapping and flashing of cameras. This, mere feet from the stone-walled sidewalk where President Ronald Reagan was nearly assassinated in 1981.
This year, the Democratic National Committee decided that presidential candidates can qualify for the first two debates by earning at least 1 percent of the vote in three national or early-primary-state polls conducted by qualifying pollsters or by receiving donations from at least 65,000 unique donors, including at least 200 individual donors in at least 20 states. I assume that this liberal approach was a reaction to charges that the DNC stacked the deck against outsiders four years ago. There will be outsiders galore participating in Democratic presidential debates this year.
Clarity, courage and candor. That’s what voters want from political candidates. Not circular claptrap. That’s especially true of candidates running in a crowded field of 20 for the Democratic nomination to take on President Trump next year. Voters are looking for differences. Everyone’s pounding on Trump. That’s no distinction. California Sen. Kamala Harris, who’s considered among the top tier of contenders, isn’t always performing up to speed. It’s not enough just to feed the voter base with red meat and focus group-certified talking points. Harris has long been afflicted with too much caution, as I’ve previously written.

Former vice president Joe Biden repeatedly said on The View on Friday that he believed Anita Hill from the moment he heard her tale of sexual harassment by Clarence Thomas. But he previously told Sen.

WASHINGTON — Barack Obama did not think Joseph R. Biden Jr. should run for president — he hardly needed to say it out loud for aides to understand that.

By the time that Mr. Biden began weighing a campaign, the president had long since concluded that Hillary Clinton had the best chance of winning in 2016. Beyond that, Mr. Biden

First come the president’s own words. “America will never be a socialist country,” he says.
