Fired FBI Director James Comey came for Trump supporters on Thursday and said it’s time to send Trump’s “mob back to their dark corner.” Comey’s tweet Thursday attacking Trump supporters is in response to chants of “send her back” heard at Trump’s North Carolina rally Wednesday evening after the president brought up Dem Rep. Ilhan Omar. Ilhan Omar, a Somali-born Democrat Congresswoman in Minnesota married her own brother to defraud US immigration, filed fraudulent tax returns and perjured herself many times according to documents and reports. Ilhan Omar also supports terrorist organizations,
The New York Times published an article detailing “How the Soviets Won the Space Race for Equality” Tuesday, highlighting how socialism allowed people of “the humblest origins” to become successful.The article, published under the “Past Tense” section, compared the “segregated United States” to the Soviet Union during the space race. While America put the first man on the moon, the Soviets sent the first man into space in 1961, before the U.S., and then sent “the first woman, the first Asian man, and the first black man into orbit – all years before the Americans would follow suit,” the article read.

ELYRIA - The law firms that represented Gibson's Bakery and its owners in a lawsuit against Oberlin College have been awarded approximately $6.5 million in attorney fees by Lorain County Common Pleas Judge John Miraldi.

The fees will be split between the three firms of Krugliak, Wilkins, Griffiths & Dougherty; Tzangas Plakas Mannos of Canton; and James N. Taylor of Elyria.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was greeted at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport by more than a hundred supporters -- constituents, organizers and well-wishers, carrying homemade "stand with Ilhan" signs welcoming her back to Minneapolis after a week of racist attacks from President Donald Trump, who told four Democratic congresswomen of color to "go back " to where they came from, and supporters at a campaign rally, who chanted "send her back" on Wednesday night. (Snip) Omar was defiant, criticizing Trump’s "fascist" policies, and promised to continue standing up for her beliefs, pointing to her Medicare-for-All town hall this evening.

Recently Joe Biden promised to challenge President Trump to a push-up contest if the president mocks his age. It appears we aren’t the only ones who want to see this happen. America needs to know the answer to this question and so Bovada, one of the world's leading online sportsbooks, has released live betting props on a "Presidential Combine," pitting Biden vs. Trump in a push-up contest, bench press contest, and 40-yard dash.They are currently taking bets on a few different matchups for the senior contenders in several feats of strength with Trump in the lead in every category except push-ups.
US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that a US warship destroyed an Iranian drone in the Strait of Hormuz amid heightened tensions between the two countries.Mr Trump said the USS Boxer took defensive action after the drone closed to within 1,000 yards of the warship and ignored multiple calls to stand down.The president called it the latest "hostile" action by Iran and urged other countries to condemn what he says are Iran's attempts to disrupt the freedom of navigation and global commerce in the strategic waterway in the Persian Gulf region.He said the drone threatened the safety of the American ship and its crew.
Rep. Jim Jordan unloaded a scathing rebuke of Democrats and their hypocrisy during a House hearing on border facilities and issues related to migrant family separations.
The Ohio Republican and Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee slammed Democrats for “making ridiculous and dangerous statements” in a fiery speech following an outburst by Chairman Elijah Cummings while questioning Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan on Thursday.Jordan accused Democrats of “choosing to play politics” with the border crisis issue, “fabricating stories of cruelty and besmirching the hard-working civil servants protecting the border.” Today, the Committee is examining the #TrumpAdmin’s inhumane policy of separating

Washington - A U.S. Navy ship destroyed a drone in the Strait of Hormuz, the Pentagon announced Thursday.
The USS Boxer, an amphibious assault ship, was in international waters traveling into the Strait of Hormuz when a drone approached the ship and “closed within a threatening range,” according to a statement by Jonathan Hoffman, chief Pentagon spokesman.

It sometimes seems that conservatives are accused of being “racist” any time they disagree with a black Democrat. The converse, of course, isn’t true. No one has ever called a Democrat a racist for disagreeing with, say, Thomas Sowell. It turns out that, crazy as it may seem, there are a great many Americans who think it is racist to disagree with a black politician (assuming that he or she is a Democrat).
This is Rasmussen’s stunning finding: (Snip) So being a “politician of color” means that your views are immune to disagreement. Unless–once again–you are a Republican. This, however, I can’t explain

The agreement calls for him to be sentenced to just over 15 years in state prison. He also will have to face a restitution process for the victims of the fires he set.

The 22-year-old victim was rushed to Illinois Masonic Medical Center overnight in critical condition, but she has since been stabilized.
Based on the scene near DePaul University, where she recently graduated, she had lost a lot of blood.
Police have since determined this may have been a sexually motivated attack in which the victim fought back.
Area North detectives spent much of the morning investigating a block-long stretch of Halsted near Fullerton, just steps away from the DePaul campus.
It is the inevitable nature of revolutions that they enter a point of hysteria when, like Saturn, they turn on themselves and devour their own children. While the hysteria of the current aspiring revolutionaries, or “power grabbers,” to use Ilhan Omar’s own words, is not yet at the stage where anyone is being carted off to the guillotine or sent to the gulag, the new face of the Democratic Party is devouring its parents. Its children are yet to come.

“No president in the history of the United States in 246 years has expressed the kinds of ideas and thoughts and undemocratic notions and authoritarian notions that he has. We need to start connecting these dots. What do people in the country think of this and why do they think and support him, no matter what he does,
Our friends at Twitchy picked up this story earlier this month, but it’s about intolerant liberals, so it’s evergreen. Apparently, some on the Left just can’t stand that some of their friends are supporters of President Trump. In some cases, it’s led to marriage troubles, the breaking up of relationships, and even the termination of friendships. It’s pathetic, but that’s the Left for you. This is a liberal America problem.

State halted the program because DNA testing — primarily of Somalis — had concluded that perhaps 87 percent of applicants were fraudulently claiming family relationships. Despite continuing war, Somalia of 2008 was not comparable to the open hell of the early 1990s, when an eight-year-old Ilhan and her family fled to Kenya’s Dadaab refugee camps. She lived there from 1991 until 1995, aged eight to 12.
An article from Reuters discussing the position of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is interesting.

Yes Alice, there are hundreds of billions at stake.

For the first official time since taking control over the House of Representatives, today the Democrats in the House had their first official opportunity to vote on a resolution to impeach President Donald J Trump.

The platform also lost 130,000 subscribers across the United States, marking the first decline since 2011 — sending the company’s stock tumbling by over 12 percent in after-hours trading.

Fresh from the messy House bid to condemn President Trump for his tweets, House Speaker has another embarrassment on her hands -- her inability to control Rep. Al Green, who launched his third impeachment bid against President Trump, failing spectacularly just like the past two times. His measure was squelched, 332-95, which President Trump tweeted gleefully.
That act, from the House's most feeble-minded member, is going to undercut Pelosi own bid to set the stage for impeachment.
The headline of the House vote on a resolution to impeach President Trump was that lawmakers rejected it by an overwhelming 332-95 margin. But the story was something else: 95 Democrats vote to impeach the president, not for any alleged high crime or misdemeanor, but for causing "harm to the society" of the United States.
The vote, in other words, showed that 95 Democrats will vote to impeach the president for anything. For them, there is no need to accuse Trump of a high crime or misdemeanor involving Russia, or obstruction of justice, or campaign finance violations, or any other arguably impeachable activity.

Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) enthusiastically agreed when left-wing activist David Hogg declared that rich people are “the problem” in America, but are using “racism and xenophobia to convince poor people” that they’re not. On Tuesday, Hogg tweeted his accusation about the rich: “For hundreds of years rich people have used racism and xenophobia to convince poor people that rich people are not the problem.”Later that evening, Rep. Tlaib chimed in on Twitter, exclaiming her agreement and posting a bullhorn emoji suggesting
In yet another CNN attempt to make people from south of D.C. look stupid and racist, Anderson Cooper and his crew gathered up eight Republican women from Texas and tried to harass them into agreeing that the president said a racist thing by telling AOC and her cronies to leave America if they don't like it. It went hilariously sideways. I especially like the part where the CNN "reporter" asks the leading question, "don't you think that's racist?" in a condescending and outraged tone.
For president, George Will comes out for Senator Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), the lefty who's progressive but not crazy. Personally, Bennet's announcement was the first I've ever heard of the guy, and it's jarring that Will, for no other apparent reason than Trump animus, is now beating drums for Democrats. He was once well thought of by Republicans.Will has revealed himself to be another small-minded little man of big words. That's what the Left always loved about him. Like Adlai Stevenson, he sounded smart and well read and went to the best schools and conducted himself with appropriate arrogance,
Just when it seems Facebook can’t get more sinister, more Orwellian or more mercenary, it does — announcing its own branded global cryptocurrency.
Does this strike anyone else as terrifying? A company that has operated with impunity, under zero federal regulations, whose CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has been called — in a hapless act of political theater — to explain his shadowy practices before Congress, yet has never offered specific correctives to any of his outfit’s failings or overreaches or unintended consequences, mak
It’s hard to take braying morons like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Terrorist Cheerleader Twins seriously, but maybe we should. After all, these aspiring dictatorettes are the heart, soul, and perpetually open mouth of today’s Democrat Party. We kind of assume they are jokes because, well, they are jokes, but history teaches that the socialist future they advocate is no laughing matter. They are now setting the agenda for one of America’s two great political parties. What would happen if they somehow took power?
Not so funny anymore, huh?
Americans are used to power changing hands in Washington; about half the time, the other guys
The Jeffrey Epstein case is an asteroid poised to strike the elite world in which he moved. No one can yet say precisely how large it is. But as the number of women who’ve accused the financier (at least, that’s what he claimed to be) of sexual assault grows to grotesque levels—there are said to be more than 50 women who are potential victims—a wave of panic is rippling through Manhattan, DC, and Palm Beach, as Epstein’s former friends and associates rush to distance themselves, while gossiping about who might be ensnared. Donald Trump’s labor secretary, Alexander Acosta, architect of the original 2007 non-prosecution agreement that let Epstein off
Washington-
I preside from time to time over a supper club called the Saturday Evening Club. It meets in Washington and occasionally in New York. We try to invite a special guest from either of the major political parties to discuss important issues that our special guest deems worth discussing. I say from “either” of the major political parties, but actually only one party ever responds to our invitation. I shall not name the party that abstains from my invitation, or, for that matter, I shall not name the party that often responds to my invitation. We must be fair-minded.
Apropos of the Saturday Evening Club, I recently heard
Representative Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) will introduce a resolution this week declaring support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which seeks to elevate the Palestinian negotiating position vis-a-vis Israel through an international pressure campaign.
“We are introducing a resolution . . . to really speak about the American values that support and believe in our ability to exercise our first amendment rights in regard to boycotting,” Omar told Al-Monitor. “And it is an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement.”
The announcement comes on the same day that the House Foreign Affairs Committee,
In a summer of scandal for the British royal family — William and Harry’s reported falling out, Meghan Markle’s diva antics at Wimbledon — one truly sordid royal has not been making headlines.
Prince Andrew, the Duke of York.
The Queen’s favorite son has always been useless at best, a liability at worst — boorish, piggish, entitled, greedy and often quite stupid, consorting with oligarchs and strongmen for personal profit.
But Andrew’s most dangerous entanglement — his rancid loyalty to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, which has reportedly spanned decades — has never really been challenged by the Queen, the prime minister or the British press, constrained as they are by some
There exists in this country a cultivated mindset that conservatives are all things evil. We have gradually devolved into fictional characters, invented by the left, and animated by whatever awful thoughts, beliefs, and imaginary actions the anti-American hate cult can conjure up (snip) The progressive loons that have risen to prominence in the Democrat party tell us clearly what they intend, and who they mean to attack if and when they are calamitously returned to positions of power. They are expressly, gleefully coming for us, because of the hate that we don’t have, but which they say we do.
The creator of a Facebook page calling for a public invasion of Area 51, the top-secret Air Force facility in Nevada, has finally spoken publicly about his joke getting out of hand.
California resident Matty Roberts, who created the Facebook page “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us,” revealed his identity Wednesday to KLAS-TV of Las Vegas.
“I posted it on like June 27th and it was kind of a joke," Roberts said. "And then it waited for like three days, like 40 people, and then it just completely took off, out of nowhere. It’s pretty wild.”

The four far-left freshmen House Democrats known as "The Squad" are having a discernible impact on the state of the Democratic Party, according to Karl Rove.
But the Squad members -- U.S. Reps. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.; Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. -- are not indicative of the mainstream of the party, Rove claimed Wednesday on "Fox News @ Night."
"They are not representative of what most Democrats are about," he said. "But they're dominating the [media] coverage.
It’s increasingly obvious that the Democratic Party is moribund and that its members know it. In a desperate attempt to survive, they have declared war on a chimera called “racism,” which they insist is endemic to American culture. Left-wing Democrats call centrist members of their own caucus racist for voting their conscience. Freshman Democrats accuse the Speaker of the House of racism for requesting that they behave with decorum. All Democrats insist that all Republicans are racists while attributing all GOP election victories to racial gerrymandering, racist voters, or both. And every Republican president is racist by definition — particularly if his surname is Trump.
The Republican National Committee is sending a not-so-subtle message to dozens of Democratic officials -- including presidential candidates and congressional leaders -- in a stated attempt to remind them of how blessed they are to live in the United States. Seventy-three top-ranking officials are being sent an American flag alongside a copy of the United States Flag Code and a letter from the Republican Party, Fox News has learned. "In recent weeks it has become increasingly clear that the proper respect and handling for the United States flag is an issue for the Democrat Party,"
