Is the Greatest Crime Committed
Against’ Americans replies
Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski told the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday that the “fake Russia collusion narrative is the greatest crime committed against the American people in our generation, if not ever.”Rep. Mike Johnson asked Lewandowski to elaborate on his assertion that the investigation is a witch hunt. (Video) “I think that this fake Russia collusion narrative is the greatest crime committed against the American people in our generation, if not ever. This is a president who was duly elected by the American people, and certain bodies refuse to accept the election results,” Lewandowski said.
An FBI assistant to James Comey says in a book released Tuesday that the former FBI director took advantage of the “chaos” of the early Trump administration to set up an interview with Michael Flynn, the national security adviser.Josh Campbell, who was Comey’s personal assistant at the FBI, writes in “Crossfire Hurricane: Inside Donald Trump’s War on the FBI,” that FBI leadership had “intense discussion” about how to interview Flynn regarding phone conversations he had in December 2016 with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.“With all the chaos…we thought we might actually get away with sending agents over to the White House to sit down with Flynn,”
There are some 250,000 United States-born children of illegal aliens enrolled or eligible for President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program living across 37 states, data reveals.Data collected by the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank, reveals that there are about 238,770 U.S.-born children of DACA illegal aliens — commonly referred to as “anchor babies” — living across 37 states, though the total is likely higher, as some estimates are based on low population estimates.The children of illegal aliens, after being granted birthright citizenship,
ATLANTA — Weeks shy of his 95th birthday, former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday he doesn't believe he could have managed the most powerful office in the world at 80 years old. Carter, who earlier this year became the longest-lived chief executive in American history, didn't tie his comments to any of his fellow Democrats running for president, but two leading 2020 candidates, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, would turn 80 during their terms if elected. Biden is 76. Sanders is 78. "I hope there's an age limit," Carter said with a laugh as he answered audience questions during his annual
All these NFL teams desperately searching for a quarterback who can keep their season from going down the drain are ignoring the obvious. Again. “He is actively, actively interested in trying to play in the NFL,” Mark Geragos, the attorney for Colin Kaepernick, told USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday. “Absolutely.” (Snip) No doubt there are some owners who won’t sign Kaepernick because they’re livid that he dared to shine a spotlight on police brutality of people of color, and the endemic racism in our society that is behind it. History will have the final word on that small-minded and hateful
The U.S. Navy has confirmed that three online videos purportedly showing UFOs are genuine. The service says the videos, taken by Navy pilots, show “unexplained aerial phenomena,” but also states that the clips should have never been released to the public in the first place. (Video) The three videos in question are titled "FLIR1," "Gimbal," and "GoFast." They show two separate encounters between Navy aircraft and UFOs.
One video was taken in 2015 off the East Coast by a F/A-18F fighter jet using the aircraft's onboard Raytheon AN/ASQ-228 Advanced Targeting Forward-Looking Infrared (ATFLIR) Pod.
He came, he saw, he offered nothing specific.In his first high-profile visit to San Francisco as secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson paid a quick visit to a public housing project in Potrero Hill, dodged an invitation to meet with the mayor, and left — all in the space of about an hour.Carson came a week after the Trump administration said it was exploring ways of addressing California’s homelessness crisis, including spurring more housing development. His purpose in visiting the housing project was to “listen” and gather facts, Carson said.The secretary showed up at 11 a.m. in an SUV, rolled quickly past
It seems that the business of governing is always testy — fractious, even. When a legislative body of any sort acts with unanimity, it is notable.As reported by the New Hampshire Union Leader, the Nashua, New Hampshire Board of Education (“Nashua BOE”) recently voted 7-0 to retain the practice of offering a prayer prior to its publicly meetings. The unanimous vote is remarkable for an age in which division rules the day.More remarkable, the Nashua BOE faced stiff opposition from an out-of-state group that routinely complains about the presence of any sort of religion in public. This time, according to the Union Leader, the group sent not one,
Former Vice President Joe Biden and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren have gained support since the summer in their fight for the Democratic presidential nomination and are beginning to separate themselves from the rest of the party’s sprawling 2020 field, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds. Mr. Biden was the top choice of 31% of Democratic primary voters, while Ms. Warren was favored by 25% in the poll, which was conducted after the party’s third primary debate, in Houston, last week. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders was the only other candidate with double-digit support, at 14%.Mr. Biden and Ms. Warren

Mr. Ortis is facing seven serious charges of intelligence violations including obtaining information to pass to a “foreign entity.” The intelligence compromise is the biggest scandal in “a generation”.New evidence shows the arrest was a result of a 2018 international intelligence operation that targeted the encrypted communications service known as “Phantom Secure”.

Two illegal aliens who were granted the right to stay in the United States by Barack Obama have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to make sure they can continue to receive taxpayer money in the form of welfare and still be able to obtain green cards to permanently stay in the country. "The open borders group CASA de Maryland and two DACA illegal aliens are suing the Trump administration over its soon-to-be enforcement of the ‘public charge’ rule, which would save American taxpayers billions by effectively ending welfare-dependent legal immigration to the U.S.,” Breitbart reports. “The regulation prevents legal immigrants from permanently resettling in the U.S. by obtaining
Former presidential nominee Hillary Clinton blamed voter suppression for her 2016 loss, and threw her support behind claims made by former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams regarding the 2018 Georgia governor race."You can run the best campaign, you can have the best plans, you can get the nomination, you can win the popular vote. And you can lose the Electoral College and therefore the election for these four reasons. Number one, voter suppression," Clinton said Tuesday an "In Defense of Democracy" event at George Washington University in Washington, D.C."We saw what happened in Georgia where Stacey Abrams should be governor of that state," Clinton continued.
Following a subpoena for testimony, today the House Judiciary Committee, Chaired by Jerry Nadler, is scheduled to hold another made-for-media event with former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. However, this hearing will be slightly different.Following the spring and summer failures by the Judiciary and Intelligence committees, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler changed the rules. Instead of questions from congressional representatives, Corey Lewandowski will face questions from a group of lawyers contracted by Pelosi and Nadler.

Presidential candidate and spiritual guru Marianne Williamson was caught on a hot mic asking why conservatives treat her better than her fellow liberals do, but she claimed she was misquoted in a key part of it.
While still on camera after an interview with Eric Bolling on America This Week, Williamson seemed to suggest there's a cultural problem with the left that is evident in their mistreatment of her. She seemed to say she understands why many see the left as "godless," but she now denies that’s what she said.
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard compared President Trump to a pimp while criticizing one of his tweets that indicated he would follow Saudi Arabia's lead in responding to an attack on one of the kingdom's major oil facilities.
"I've never engaged in hateful rhetoric against you or your family, and I never will, but your offering our military assets to the dictator of Saudi Arabia to use as he sees fit is a betrayal of my brother and sisters in uniform who are ready to give our lives for our country, not for the Islamist dictator of Saudi Arabia," the Hawaii Democrat said in a video posted to Twitter on Monday.
The leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reaffirmed Tuesday the religion’s opposition to gay marriage, saying God’s law dictates that marriage is restricted to unions between a man and a woman.
Church president Russell M. Nelson also said during a speech to students at the church-owned Brigham Young University that the religion’s love for everyone regardless of sexual orientation led to the repeal earlier this year of a 2015 policy that banned baptisms for children of parents in same-sex relationships and labeled gay couples as sinners eligible for expulsion.
Nelson said love also motivated the original policy as he and other leaders attempted to prevent friction between
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Some of Bernie Sanders’ fiercest supporters are sounding the alarm that the campaign is bogged down by disorganization, personality clashes, and poor communication between state operations and national headquarters. After a pair of setbacks this week — the acrimonious shakeup of his staff in New Hampshire on Sunday and loss of the Working Families Party's endorsement to Elizabeth Warren a day later — Sanders’ allies and former aides are worried that recent disappointments are not one-off stumbles but rather emblematic of larger problems in his bid for the White House. The concerns are particularly acute in New
President Trump arrived in California late Tuesday morning amid growing questions over his administration’s plans to get involved in the state’s homelessness crisis.
Trump is in the state for a two-day visit, with stops for fundraising in Palo Alto, Beverly Hills and San Diego. The fundraisers are expected to bring in $15 million and will benefit Trump Victory, a joint fundraising committee composed of the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee.
In recent months, Trump has used the issue of homelessness to bash the deep-blue state in advance of the 2020 election.

The New York Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly appeared on “The View” Tuesday and blamed “an oversight” by Gray Lady editors for the controversial piece on Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh cutting key details during a fiery interview in which they claimed not to have an agenda.
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg immediately pointed out that Pogrebin and Kelly were “under fire” from critics after the Times walked back an explosive report about a resurfaced allegation of sexual assault by Kavanaugh from his college days.
“We just have to start out with the controversy,” co-host Meghan McCain said.

Two city council members in Trenton, New Jersey, have defended the council president’s reported use of an anti-Semitic slur after she said “Jew her down” during a closed-door meeting earlier this month. Trenton City Council President Kathy McBride is facing calls to resign after she said on Sept. 5 that a city attorney negotiating a woman’s personal injury lawsuit was “able to wait her out and Jew her down” on settling for a lower amount, the New Jersey Globe reported.(Snip) “You know, it’s like a car dealer, they wanted $5,000, you Jew ‘em down to $4,000,” he told the Globe.

Hillary Clinton accused President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) of “abdicating their responsibility” on election security during a pointed speech Tuesday in which she also took aim at Trump for his repeated claims about voter fraud.
In a speech delivered at a conference in Washington, the Democratic Party’s 2016 presidential nominee applauded the Democratic-led House for passing legislation designed to strengthen election systems in the wake of Russian interference.
Clinton then slammed “Mitch McConnell’s Senate” for not acting on the legislation, which would authorize more than $600 million to update voting equipment to comply with new standards, including requirements that devoting machines produce a paper record, stay disconnected
Things fall apart…again. For Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the liberal media once again decided to launch a full-blown blitz to get him removed from office. The Left thought this drive was going to be a game-winning drive, like the Desert Storm push by Norman Schwarzkopf. Finally, we can nail this guy who took Merrick Garland’s seat. We have revenge, except they didn’t. They got a face-full of buckshot. Once again the liberal media proved themselves to be Trump deranged, shoddy, irresponsible, and an enemy to the American people. Trump won. Conservatives won. And you lost—and you’re still losers. Kavanaugh is in. He’s confirmed
Granville County Sheriff Brindell Wilkins learned one of his deputies had a tape of him making “racially offensive” comments, prosecutors say. So the North Carolina lawman encouraged another man to kill the officer, according to a felony indictment revealed late Monday night.
“The only way you gonna stop him is kill him,” Wilkins allegedly told the would-be shooter in a 2014 recorded phone call about a plan to kill former deputy Joshua Freeman. The plot was not carried out.
Wilkins is charged with two felony counts of obstruction of justice charges for his failure to arrest the unnamed person or report the threat on Freeman’s life,
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a civil suit against Edward Snowden for allegedly violating his non-disclosure agreements with the publication of his new book.
Snowden released Permanent Record on Tuesday, an autobiography in which the National Security Agency whistleblower reflects on his life all the way to his exposure of the U.S. government’s mass surveillance program. The DOJ’s lawsuit claims Snowden violated his signed agreements with the CIA by not submitting his book to a pre-publication review, and it also accuses Snowden of violating his NDAs with his speeches about intelligence gathering.

School shootings should be off-limits as fashion fodder.
But one brand has just unveiled controversial hoodies featuring the names of schools devastated by mass shootings, including Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, Marjory Stoneman Douglas and even Columbine.
To make matters worse, the hoodies were riddled with bullet holes.
The brand, Dystopia-inspired fashion house Bstroy, founded by designing due Brick Owens and Dieter “Du” Grams, is already getting rightfully taken down on social media after they debuted the offensive garments in New York over the weekend as part of their spring 2020 menswear collection.
The city of Phoenix cannot compel an art studio owned by two Christians to design wedding invitations for same-sex couples, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled Monday in a 4-3 decision.
Joanna Duka and Breanna Koski, who run Brush & Nib Studio, potentially faced $2,500 in fines and six months in jail for violating Phoenix's 2013 ordinance that prohibited discrimination based on "sexual orientation, gender identity or expression."
President Trump fundamentally changed the judicial course of the US Supreme Court. That clearly proved too much for the New York Times’ Trump-deranged editors to bear. That’s why the paper attempted to re-adjudicate the explosive sexual charges leveled against Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the court of public opinion. A venue in which there is no protection against double jeopardy. Subsequently, the predictably vicious Congressional Democrats piled right on, smearing Justice Kavanaugh as if on cue.
Several years ago, numerous conservative Members of Congress felt that the “swamp” stood in the way of restoring government to its proper role of protecting individual freedoms. To counter the uniparty obstruction that prevents Congress from producing a balanced budget and facilitating unbridled government growth, these members formed the House Freedom Caucus.The idea was that too many Americans, particularly conservatives, were feeling disenfranchised. The House Freedom Caucus would serve to fight the entrenched powers that brought so much dismay to Americans.The first Chairman of the Freedom Caucus was
On perhaps no cultural issue has the Right more clearly waved the white flag than it has on the issue of marriage. The National Organization for Marriage, which for years existed as the leading organization pushing back against the homosexual rights movement's a historical revisionism and redefining of marriage, now exists as a hollowed out shell of itself. Never mind that the ludicrous 2015 U.S. Supreme Court case that bastardized the Fourteenth Amendment in an astonishing black-robed power grab to constitutionalize same-sex nuptials and impose it upon a divided citizenry, Obergefell v. Hodges, had all the jurisprudential heft of the infamous Dred Scott diktat.
A homeowner in Georgia shot and killed three young masked men at his home early Monday morning, according to Rockdale County Sheriff Eric Levett. Authorities identified the three deceased individuals as juveniles Monday evening -- two 16-year-olds and one 15-year-old -- but have not released their names. The sheriff’s office told ABC News it waited to release information about the teens, all from Conyers, Georgia, until all three families were notified. The homeowner, who has also not been identified by deputies, was taken to the station for questioning. "It could be a 'stand your ground' type case, based on the preliminary [information]
It was June 11 when a teenager showed up at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin short of breath. He had lost a lot of weight, was fatigued and couldn't do routine activities.

(Milan, Italy) An Italian soldier was stabbed in the neck Tuesday by an attacker brandishing a pair of scissors in front of Milan’s central train station—and later shouting “Alahu Akbar,” according to a report. The man fled after the unprovoked attack shortly after 10:45 a.m. in Piazza Duca d’Aosta and ran toward Via Vittor Pisani but was stopped by paramilitary Carabinieri police officers, according to Milano Today. He apparently shouted “Allahu Akbar!”—Arabic for “God is great!”—as he was being arrested, the news outlet reported. An investigation was launched to determine if the attack was terrorism-related.

The United States has concluded the weekend attack on Saudi oil facilities was launched from Iranian soil and cruise missiles were involved, a US official told AFP on Tuesday.
The official, who declined to be identified, said the United States was gathering evidence about the attack to present to the international community, notably European allies, at the UN General Assembly next week.
Asked if Washington was certain that the missiles had been launched from Iranian soil, the official answered: "Yes."

President Trump, an enthusiast for hitting back harder when attacked, is not about to let his arch-enemies at the New York Times off the hook for their disgraceful hit piece on Justice Kavanaugh, and is now calling for the resignations of all involved in covering up the exculpatory evidence that was omitted from the Sunday op-ed piece.

GEORGIA– A Georgia homeowner shot and killed three masked teens as they approached his residence with their faces covered, authorities said. The three victims, one 15-year-old and two 16-year-olds, were all from the area but did not live in the specific neighborhood they were in, the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office said. The teens approached three residents at the front yard of a home early Monday morning and attempted to rob them, authorities say. One of the would-be robbers took out a gun and fired shots at them, before one of the residents returned fire.

The liberal anechoic prison looks like an alternative reality (“AR”), created by Internet Gatekeepers – Google, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, and Apple.

The prisoners of the AR are not aware of their status. (snip) This goes a long way to explain the growing polarization in the country. The Gatekeepers seem to be the main cause of liberal self- delusion and of mass confusion for everybody else, in addition to their hate-mongering.

Government watchdog Judicial Watch has issued a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Department of Justice in order to obtain documents and information about Felix Sater. Sater was working inside the Trump Organization in 2016 on behalf of the FBI and reportedly pushed the Trump Moscow project. That Moscow project was often cited as "proof" by Democrats and media that President Trump had business dealings with the Russians.
According to a release, Judicial Watch is "seeking all records of communications, including FBI 302 interview reports and offer agreements between former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office and Felix Sater."

NEW YORK —Sen. Elizabeth Warren hailed the political power of female-led organizing in a speech Monday night that invoked the deadly 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire to argue that outrage can spark positive change — and to make the case for her own presidential ambitions. Warren has long faced doubts from some Democratic leaders and voters who wonder if she would be able to defeat President Trump, because of her outspoken liberal message and voters’ possible reluctance to embrace a woman as president. Monday’s speech, and the big crowd it attracted, was in part an attempt to rebut such doubts

After illegally crossing the border for the fifth time, Jose Inez Garcia-Zarate, a Mexican national with more than 30 aliases, stole a handgun from the vehicle of a federal agent.

Before police arrested him, Garcia-Zarate managed to get a mile from the spot where Steinle had fallen screaming into her father’s arms.
The "Church of Climate Change" demands that Western nations impose restrictions on industrial CO2 emissions, encouraging them to squander billions on unreliable "green" technologies and renewable sources of energy. They continue to ignore the one policy that has significantly increased atmospheric CO2 levels in the last few decades, generating hundreds of millions of metric tons of the stuff annually: mass third-world immigration (see Kolankiewicz and Camarota, 2008).
If the IPCC were objective, it would demand an end to mass immigration instead of more carbon taxes and emissions trading.
The co-authors of a new book about Brett Kavanaugh blamed New York Times editors Monday for removing a key passage from an essay they published over the weekend that laid out a new, but uncorroborated, sexual misconduct allegation against the Supreme Court justice.
In an interview with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly addressed the controversy over a New York Times Review essay they published Saturday that previewed their book, “The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation.”
The essay focused on uncorroborated allegations that Deborah Ramirez made against Kavanaugh in 1983, when they were both stu

For a while, we thought MSNBC had temporarily usurped CNN as the font of fake news — although both networks had tied for the most negative coverage (93 percent of all their news reports) of President Trump’s first 100 days in office.
A cynic would argue that CNN had deliberately given Trump undue coverage during the Republican primary on the theory that he would be the weakest Republican in the general election and would therefore be the weakest challenger to Hillary Clinton. CNN president Jeffrey Zucker at one point had bragged that in the primaries, Trump made CNN money. Only later, after Trump’s nomination, did Zucker regret giving
In a bad year for Republicans, the GOP successfully used Brett Kavanaugh's contentious Supreme Court confirmation as a rallying call ahead of last year's midterm elections. But Democratic presidential candidates are running headlong into the issue ahead of the 2020 presidential election regardless.
Reporting from a pair of New York Times reporters on new—though hazy and unsubstantiated—sexual assault allegation has thrust Kavanaugh back in the news. Several leading Democratic candidates for president quickly seized on the report, now revised to note that the alleged victim of the assault doesn't recall the incident, to call for Kavanaugh's impeachment from the Court.
Addressing thousands of cheering supporters in the nation's largest city, Democratic presidential contender Elizabeth Warren decried President Trump Monday as "corruption in the flesh" and outlined her plans to root out corruption in the White House, Congress and the courts.
"Corruption has put our planet at risk. Corruption has broken our economy. And corruption is breaking our democracy," said Warren, a Massachusetts senator who has emerged as a leading Democratic presidential contender.
President Donald Trump is reportedly not planning to include House Democrats’ universal background check bill as part of legislation he supports in response to mass shootings.
The Democrat gun control bill is H.R. 8.
Politico reports that a source familiar with the White House “conversation on guns” indicated that Trump is not going to rally behind H.R. 8.
On September 9, 2019, Breitbart News reported that Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) asked Trump to support H.R. 8, thereby giving “political cover” to allow other Republicans to support it.
During his September 16, 2019, rally in New Mexico, President Donald Trump called out “radical” Democrats for trying to take Americans’ guns.
Trump warned citizens of “radical left Democrats” pushing regulations, higher taxes, and constraints on free speech.
He observed that “left-wing Democrats want to confiscate your guns and eliminate your God-given right to self-defense.”
Trump added, “As your president, I will never allow them to take away your liberty, your dignity, … and I will never, ever, allow them to take away your sacred right to keep and bear arms.”
President Donald Trump honed in on criticism of the New York Times on Monday, during a rally in New Mexico after an embarrassing error on an allegation against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
The president defended Kavanaugh as a “great man” and a “great talent,” repeating his demand on Twitter that the New York Times employees involved with the story should resign.
“I don’t think they’ll do it, but they should for the good of the nation,” he said.

“I hate to say this, but we have some Republicans, they are not good. You call them a RINO, they are RINOs, they’re RINOs or worse,” Trump said, referring to Republicans derided as “Republicans In Name Only” because of their political alliances in Washington.
The president spoke about moderate Republicans during a campaign rally in New Mexico, noting that the RINOs were worse than many of the Democrats.
“Some of them are worse than the Obama people, they’re worse than the Clinton people, but there aren’t too many of them left,” he said.
Watching this year's 9/11 remembrances on TV, it was heartwarming to hear commentators repeatedly use “we” and “our” when referring to Americans and America. Commentators said that on September 11, 2001, “our” country was viciously attacked by Islamist terrorists. They said, “we” came together as a nation. A WWII vet said the unity of our nation on 9/11 felt the same to him as it did during WWII. Rather than unifying Americans, each 2020 Democrat presidential candidate is campaigning on dividing us into bogus victimized voting blocs. They seek to convince every American that they are a victim in one way or another; a victim of racism, sexism, white privilege,
The city’s monument “men” are in peril. A member of the commission that oversees art and architecture on city property suggested Monday that instead of simply adding statues of historical female figures to Central Park, the panel yank out some of the male ones first.“There are what, five or six [male] statutes that I think could easily be replaced by individual statues of each of these women,” said Hank Willis Thomas, a painter who serves on the Public Design Commission, at a hearing at City Hall. Thomas appeared to be specifically fingering statues including
September 17 is Constitution Day and Peter Francis O’Rourke plans on celebrating it by gutting the document’s Second Amendment, infringing on the right to bear arms that the Constitution says shall not be infringed. Of course, O’Rourke also shares the Democrat belief that the Constitution’s “penumbras and emanations” confers a right to privacy allowing unborn children to be aborted until the moment of birth.
There he was on Sunday’s “Meet the Press,” his dental work complete and ear hair properly trimmed, to claim his plan to confiscate from law-abiding citizens by force and under penalty of law their AR-15s was in fact constitutional under the Constitution’s Commerce clause.
Jerry Nadler's Troubling History
replies
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler is still desperately continuing his quest to impeach Donald Trump. At a hearing last week in a veiled attempt to advance it, Nadler said he "no longer cared about the nomenclature." And he told CNN "it is not necessarily called an impeachment inquiry...it is however, what we are doing." An aggressive schedule of hearings will begin Tuesday, starting with former Trump manager Corey Lewandowski.
But Nadler also has a long and disturbing history of supporting and facilitating the release of some of America's deadliest terrorists, even including this past year.
In August of 1999, Bill Clinton offered clemency to 12 members
Israel: The Lion in Winter
replies
With war clouds scudding over the Persian Gulf, Israel goes to the polls Tuesday to try to unravel the deadlock that prevented the emergence of a government from the last election — only five months ago. Yet the half year of politicking has brought scant clarity to the prospects for Prime Minister Netanyahu, already the longest serving premier in the history of the modern Jewish state.
To get what he wants from this election, Mr. Netanyahu needs 61 of the 120 votes in the Knesset.
Between an offensive tweet and a significant revision, The New York Times’ handling of a new sexual misconduct allegation against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh attracted almost as much attention as the accusation itself.
The story also gave President Donald Trump and his allies fresh ammunition in his campaign against the media, where the Times was already a favorite target.
(snip) After the story was posted online but before it was in the print edition, the Times revised the story to add that the book reported that the woman supposedly involved in the incident declined to be interviewed, and that her friends say she doesn’t recall the incident.
The FBI has arrested a Chinese government official as part of China's massive scheme to illegally obtain American technology by recruiting experts in high-tech fields.
Zhongsan Liu was arrested after a lengthy investigation into his role in directing a Chinese government front group in New Jersey called the China Association for International Exchange of Personnel (CAIEP), the Justice Department said in a statement.
A criminal complaint in the case dated Sept. 13 also linked the visa fraud charges to a Chinese government-funded Confucius Institute at a U.S. university.
You were too young to vote for Jack or Bobby, but you always heard about them from your parents or grandparents. You’ve voted for Democrats your entire life, even though you haven’t always loved every nominee. In your eyes, they are the party of the little guy, standing up to make sure he gets a fair deal and his kids aren’t sent off to fight in some pointless war overseas. Bosses, big corporations, insurance companies — they’ll all screw you if they get the chance. Government isn’t perfect, but it’s the one force that is supposed to be looking out for you; it’s the one institution
Beto’s Racist City Upon a Hill

“We can mark the creation of this country not at the Fourth of July, 1776, but August 20, 1619, when the first kidnapped African was brought to this country against his will and in bondage and as a slave built the greatness, and the success, and the wealth that neither he nor his descendants would ever be able to participate in or enjoy.”
So says Beto O’Rourke, Boy Beto, here in the form of Professor Beto, lecturing the Democrat faithful at the party debate in Houston last week, the day after America mourned the anniversary of 9/11. But it wasn’t the evil of 9/11 that was in Beto’s
Enter Trump

President Trump may have his faults, but when it comes to trolling he reigns supreme. That goes for showmanship, too. Today, Trump presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Mariano Rivera in the East Room of the White House. Rivera, as you probably know, was a relief pitcher for the New York Yankees, one of the greatest pitchers of all time and by all accounts an outstanding citizen.
The East Room was crowded with reporters and others. President Trump was announced in the usual stentorian way as the 45th President of the United States, and they played the fanfare to “Hail to the Chief.” But then, as Trump and Rivera
"At a certain point, you've made enough money." Back in 2010, President Barack Hussein Obama said that out loud into a microphone. But now, once again, Past Obama and Present Obama find themselves at odds. I cannot imagine Barry is saying the same thing today to his wife.(Snip)At a certain point, you've made enough money. But you don't get to decide when that "certain point" arrives. The Obamas get to decide that. And obviously, they've decided that their own "certain point" isn't anywhere close yet. They've got book deals and arena tours and Netflix shows and I don't know what all. They're really raking it in.
Saturday’s attacks on two key Saudi oil installations were plainly beyond the capabilities of the Yemen-based Houthis who took credit: The real villain, without question, is Iran.
Which means that Team Trump needs to find a response that will teach Tehran the right lessons.
Iran is clearly testing President Trump, to see if he can be bullied into unilaterally easing US sanctions. It has interpreted as signs of weakness his decision against a military response to its downing of a US drone, his recent openness to negotiations and his firing of national security adviser John Bolton.
To be clear: This wasn’t just an attack on Saudi Arabia,
General Motors said its offer to United Auto Workers "builds a stronger future for all," but the roughly 50,000 members on strike want more after walking out on Sunday night.
"We presented a strong offer that improves wages, benefits and grows U.S. jobs in substantive ways and it is disappointing that the UAW leadership has chosen to strike at midnight tonight," GM said in a statement Sunday. "We have negotiated in good faith and with a sense of urgency. Our goal remains to build a strong future for our employees and our business."
The New York Times reporters behind the controversial piece on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh claimed Monday night that key details missing from the sexual misconduct allegation may have been removed from the original draft in the editing process.
Late Sunday, The New York Times walked back an explosive report about a resurfaced allegation of sexual assault by Kavanaugh from his college days. The piece by Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly was adapted from their forthcoming book, "The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation," and alleged that there was corroboration of an incident in which Kavanaugh, as a college student at Yale, exposed himself to a female classmate at a party.
Confirmed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has become a sex symbol.For legions of women out there in America today, they simply cannot get through the day without fantasizing about bold and forceful sexual relations involving Justice Kavanaugh. That’s right, confirmed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was confirmed to the Supreme Court last year.He was confirmed by the United States Senate, which confirms judicial nominees nominated by the president to the Supreme Court. Sitting President Donald Trump nominated now-confirmed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Senate, which — not to belabor the point — confirmed Justice Kavanaugh to the highest court in the land, where he continues to
In his mid-20s, future crime kingpin Whitey Bulger spent time in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary for hijacking and armed robbery. While there, he volunteered to be part of a drug experiment that sought to find a cure for schizophrenia. Or so he was told. In reality, the experiment sought to determine how much LSD the human mind could take before it snapped.(Snip) Many in the intelligence community were convinced that the Soviet Union and China had made great advancements in brainwashing, and they sought to perfect the technique themselves. Hypnosis and electroshock were among the methods tested, but Gottlieb became obsessed
Williamsburg, Brooklyn—She was brutally attacked while walking home at night, but the lead singer of an alternative band with a large cult following says that her case shows how, and why, people—especially women—can overcome violence. Haley Dahl is the founder and frontwoman of Sloppy Jane, a band that’s created a devoted following in part because of its intense live performances, wide-ranging instrumentation, and Dahl’s strong, in-your-face vocals and presence.(Snip) It was around 1:30 A.M., a time of the morning in which she’d been out walking alone many times before. This time, however, was dangerously different.
