News flash for all Deep State conspirators: we have a lawfully elected President who is at the top of the Executive Branch of US Government. As such, President Trump represents one third of our constitutionally empowered leadership and is “the US Government.”
That reality has proven to be an issue for a lot of Deep State players inside the US Government, who from day one of his election or even earlier could not accept the will of their fellow citizens. Sadly, rather than focusing on changing administrations in our four-year cycle of peaceful revolution at the ballot box, many have engaged in violating the law through a conspiracy
U.S. Attorney John Durham's investigation into the origins of the FBI's 2016 Russia probe has expanded based on new evidence uncovered during a recent trip to Rome with Attorney General Bill Barr, sources told Fox News on Tuesday.
The sources said Durham was "very interested" to question former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan, an anti-Trump critic who recently dismissed the idea.
The two Obama administration officials were at the helm when the unverified and largely discredited Steele dossier, written by British ex-spy Christopher Steele and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee, was used to justify
Two suspects have been charged with murder after the body of three-year-old Kamille 'Cupcake' McKinney was found in a landfill over a week after she went missing, Alabama police say.
Birmingham Police Chief Patrick Smith announced at a news conference Tuesday night that Kamille's remains were discovered in a trash bin taken to a landfill in Birmingham.
Smith said police are obtaining murder warrants against two people previously identified as persons of interest in the case, 39-year-old Patrick Devone Stallworth and his 29-year-old girlfriend, Derick Irisha Brown.
Lawyers for both suspects have said they're innocent.
Most Republican senators refused to rule out voting to remove President Donald Trump from office in an impeachment trial over the Ukraine scandal when contacted by the Daily Caller this week.The Caller contacted all 53 Republican Senate offices Monday and Tuesday to ask if senators would rule out voting to remove Trump from office, and received a variety of responses–seven senators explicitly rejected impeachment in their statement.Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith’s office responded simply, saying, “Senator Hyde-Smith does not support impeachment.”
Joe Biden has come under fire his double standard after he lambasted Donald Trump as 'despicable' for comparing the impeachment inquiry to 'a lynching', when he made the same comparison himself in a resurfaced 1998 interview in defense of Bill Clinton.
On Tuesday Trump took to Twitter to call slam the inquiry into his presidency as 'a lynching'.
'So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here - a lynching. But we will WIN!' he tweeted.
On Monday, Judicial Watch released new emails involving former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Benghazi controversy that had been covered up for years and that would have exposed Clinton's private email account if they had been released to Judicial Watch in a FOIA request win 2014. One long withheld email, which provides talking points for a call with senators and therefore fits the criteria of records concerning "talking points or updates on the Benghazi attack," should have been disclosed in 2014, but it was hidden from Judicial Watch for years."This email is a twofer
RUSH: Hey, before we get going on all the usual rigmarole going on here today, can you believe this? So, Trump says that what he’s facing is a modern-day lynching. It’s what Clarence Thomas said.(Snip)You can’t even muster yourself to criticize this total sham that Adam Schiff is running? Adam Schiff is now not even letting Republicans read the transcripts of his sham hearings that he’s conducting in private, in the basement. Adam Schiff is the biggest scam artist to come down the pike in this Congress. This guy is making up what witnesses say. If they don’t say what he wants, he leaks sentences of theirs out of context,
TUALATIN, Ore.— Authorities say Henry Thomas, the actor who starred as a child in E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, has been arrested for driving under the influence in Oregon.The 48-year-old Thomas was booked into the Washington County Jail and faces the misdemeanor charge after police said they found him Monday in a stationary car.Thomas played Elliott, the young boy who befriends an alien in the classic 1982 movie.

Four executives at an Illinois manufacturing plant have been charged with knowingly hiring illegal aliens, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency reveals.
According to ICE officials, four executives at the sheet metal KSO MetalFab Inc. manufacturing plant in Streamwood, Illinois — a suburb of Chicago — have been charged with one count each of knowingly harboring illegal aliens and one count each of knowingly hiring illegal aliens.The four executives include 81-year-old Dora Kuzelka, 62-year-old Kenneth Kuzelka, 56-year-old Kari Kuzelka, and 58-year-old Keith Kuzelka. ICE officials allege that the Kuzelkas knowingly hired at least 18 illegal aliens.
The White House on Tuesday pushed back on criticism from Democrats and the establishment media for using the word “lynching” to describe the Democrat-led impeachment investigation.“The president’s not comparing what’s happened to him with one of our darkest moments in American history, he’s just not,” Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley told reporters at the White House on Tuesday. “What he’s explaining clearly is the way he’s been treated by the media since he announced his run for president.”Trump on Tuesday morning criticized the impeachment process on Twitter.
Has anybody ever called you a bad word? Did it hurt your feelings? Do you wish there were a law against using bad words that hurt people's feelings? Then here's some good news from the liberal paradise of Massachusetts. Alex Griswold, Washington Free Beacon: A Massachusetts Democrat is pushing a bill that would make it a crime to maliciously call someone a "bitch" within the commonwealth. Foul-mouthed individuals who are found guilty under a bill introduced by Democratic representative Daniel J. Hunt would face a $150 maximum fine for the first offense, while repeat offenders would face up to six months' imprisonment,
From a politician who tweets like a Frenchman to a presidential candidate who acts like one, Pete Buttigieg is Mitt Romney with dermabrasion and a Just For Men® (indeed!) dye job. Mayor of America’s 306th largest city, Buttigieg brings the hauteur of Harvard to the heartland. He brings his passive-aggressive style to South Bend and French Lick, misrepresenting the goodness of Indiana by attacking the state of mind of his fellow Hoosier, Vice President Mike Pence. He brings this attitude to the campaign trail, where he looks like a fired contestant from “The Apprentice” and sounds like a book on tape. He sounds like what he is:
A newly painted mural of 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was vandalized in Canada with a pro-oil message, and later with French slurs.
Thunberg on Friday lead a climate strike outside the Alberta legislature in the province’s capital city of Edmonton. The Province newspaper reported about 8,000 were in attendance.
Local artist AJA Louden told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that he painted the mural on a free expression graffiti wall across the city at the same Thunberg spoke. While the CBC was filming footage of the mural Friday, James Bagnell sprayed “Stop the Lies. This is Oil Country!!!” over the image of the teenager’s face.
Motorists in socialist Venezuela have long enjoyed the world’s cheapest gasoline, with fuel so heavily subsidized that a full tank these days costs a tiny fraction of a US penny. But the economy is in such shambles that drivers are now paying for fill-ups with a little food, a candy bar or just a cigarette.
Bartering at the pump has taken off as hyperinflation makes Venezuela’s paper currency, the bolivar, hard to find and renders some denominations all but worthless, so that nobody will accept them.
Without cash in their wallets, drivers often hand gas station attendants a bag of rice, cooking oil or whatever is within reach.
If you’re not convinced that the Democrat Party desperately wants to ensure that President Donald Trump doesn’t secure a second term in the White House, you have not been paying attention to their sham impeachment efforts.They are so desperate, according to New York Times Frank Bruni, that donors in the party are beginning to panic over their current options to take on the president. “So they’re looking at their candidates — at their front-runners, in particular — with a very withering microscope,” Bruni said Tuesday on CNN’s New Day. “Because the question is who is super-potent enough, rock-solid enough to guarantee us that we’ll get rid of Donald Trump.”

murder, assault after running over
4 people outside nightclub replies
A man is charged with assault and attempted murder after he allegedly ran over multiple people outside a nightclub in Minneapolis last week.
Eduardo Morales, 23, is charged with one count of second-degree murder and three counts of second-degree assault, according to court records. (snip) After the fight was broken up, witnesses told police Morales told his friend, "Give me your keys," got into a white Mercedes and drove away from the fight, the complaint states.
According to the complaint, the suspect then suddenly reversed the vehicle, running over four people.
Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham questioned the press while defending President Trump’s use of the word “lynching” to describe the impeachment inquiry.Trump faced backlash for comparing his impeachment to “a lynching” on Twitter. Graham was one of the only prominent Republicans to defend the president, saying, “This is a lynching in every sense. This is un-American.”He also criticized the media’s handling of Trump’s comments and the impeachment inquiry as a whole.“I'm going to let the whole world know that if we were doing this to a Democratic president, you would be all over me right now,” Graham said Tuesday.
A massive drug bust in Southern California led to the confiscation of 18 pounds of fentanyl — enough to create 4 million lethal doses, authorities said.
The huge seizure amounted to half of the fentanyl snagged in Orange County this year, with investigators nabbing about $1.25 million worth of the deadly opioid last Wednesday, the Orange County Register reported.
“The threat this extremely potent drug poses to our community is increasing exponentially, not subsiding,” Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes said in a statement.
The sheriff’s office said they also seized a semi-automatic handgun, heroin, methamphetamine and $71,000 in cash.
The anonymous senior Trump Administration official who penned an op-ed last year describing the “resistance” operating inside the White House will publish a tell-all book in November.
The book, titled “A Warning,” will be released on Nov. 19 and the author will remain unnamed, according to publisher Twelve, an imprint of Grand Central Publishing/Hachette Book Group.
It is being promoted as “an unprecedented behind-the-scenes portrait of the Trump presidency” that goes beyond what was written in the Sept. 5, 2018, op-ed in the New York Times.
As a key witness testified in the impeachment inquiry Tuesday, President Trump stirred up outrage by describing the investigation against him as a “lynching,” a word deeply tied to America’s history of racially-motivated murders. “Something like lynching is far beneath the office of the President of the United States,” South Carolina’s Rep. Jim Clyburn said. California’s Rep. Karen Bass said the comment was part of a pattern. “Everytime his back is against the wall he uses race,” Bass said. “He throws out race as a bomb to divert the attention.” Still, some supporters defended the President.
The Canadian voters have spoken. And blackface-wearing Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will keep his job. He lost his working majority, but will still cling to power. Canadian Conservatives were actually the victors Monday in the popular vote count. But, as in the US, winning the popular vote in Canada does not guarantee control of that country’s government.The October 2019 national vote by our neighbors to the North should send a direct message to Hillary Clinton and global leftists everywhere. Canadian Conservatives won 34.4% of the popular vote but only won 121 seats. Liberals won 33% of the popular vote but won 157 seats.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A top U.S. diplomat testified Tuesday that President Donald Trump was holding back military aid for Ukraine unless the country agreed to investigate Democrats and a company linked to Joe Biden’s family, providing lawmakers with a detailed new account of the quid pro quo central to the impeachment probe.
In a lengthy opening statement to House investigators obtained The Associated Press, William Taylor described Trump’s demand that “everything” President Volodymyr Zelenskiy wanted...
The Brits call them "newsreaders." Their job is to sit behind a desk on a TV set and read the news -- ostensibly written by actual journalists, but also by the propagandists at the BBC -- off the teleprompter in a professional-sounding manner while looking reassuringly into the camera.
In America we call them "anchors." Their job is to be the star of the show, to determine what goes on the air, to provide the desired slant to the news, and then at some point during the evening, to read the news off the teleprompter in a professional-sounding manner while looking reassuringly into the camera.
New details and photographs have emerged of conservative commentator Candace Owens' wedding to British Oxford graduate George Farmer, revealing the bride wore three gowns and their guests donned red 'Make Weddings Great Again' hats at the reception. The 30-year-old political activist, a well-known supporter of the President who was once praised for her views by Kanye West, met Farmer, 28, the son of a baron and conservative peer, in December 2018.The pair got engaged over a FaceTime call after just two-and-a-half weeks of dating. They tied the knot at the end of August, over Labor Day weekend, at Trump Winery, near Charlottesville,
For more on liberal labeling, read Delusional Hillary Clinton: Her endless Stalinist meddling in US elections. The current ginned up hysteria over Trump's legitimate use of the word lynching is another perfect example. Writer Steve Nemo says: “Almost daily, Clinton busies herself by filling the empty heads of her sycophantic, fake-news media minions with more stories of Russia collusion. In her first Russia collusion hoax, delusional Hillary foisted a phony anti-Trump narrative on the country, fueled by Russian disinformation as contained in a dossier.” A liberal lynching indeed, no apologies necessary.
Even as top Democrats rushed to condemn President Trump's comparison of their impeachment inquiry to a "lynching," footage and news reports have emerged showing top Democrats referring matter-of-factly to Bill Clinton's impeachment proceedings as a "lynching" in 1998. Among those Democrats are two African-American representatives still serving in the House, as well as House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y. Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., called Clinton's impeachment a "persecution" and a "political lynching" on the House floor in 1998. And Danny Davis, D-Ill., condemned what he described as a "lynching in the People's House."
The anonymous author of a New York Times op-ed claiming to be part of the “resistance” inside the Trump administration will publish a “tell-all” book on November 18th, according to multiple reports.The soon-to-be-released book, entitled A Warning, is being touted as a so-called “unprecedented behind-the-scenes portrait of the Trump presidency,” which claims to build upon the Times article, according to the Washington Post.The book’s publisher, Twelve, said the author will not only remain anonymous, but “elaborate precautions have been taken to protect the author’s identity,” CNN reports.
Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” host Tucker Carlson questioned Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) as to why Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) had not been aggressive employing his subpoena power as the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee against various central figures involved with the effort to derail Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and his presidency.Paul explained he had urged Graham to act. However, he said there were other Republican members of the U.S. Senate that had more of an “allegiance” to the so-called Deep State than Trump. Partial transcript as follows:
All Mirah Wilks ever wanted was to be a victim. But, tragically, her luck was just too good. For 69 years, the Israeli-born Wilks evaded bullet after bullet. As a child she contracted polio, and whereas others afflicted with that terrible disease find themselves tethered to burdensome monstrosities like an iron lung or Eleanor Roosevelt, Wilks recovered without a scratch.
As an adult, she developed kidney cancer. Surely that would do the trick! Nope…full remission.
When disease failed to fell her, she set her sights on man-made opportunities for martyrdom. She convinced herself that a massive Arab-led war of extermination would soon consume her beloved Jewish state. When that didn’t happen,
Tuesday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) criticized President Donald Trump for referring to the impeachment inquiry as a “lynching.” (Tweet) Speaking to TMZ, Ocasio-Cortez said, “Well first of all to not understand the history of our country, to not understand not only the scourge of not only slavery but the fact that lynching happened well beyond slavery.”She continued, “It’s horrifying that he would do this, but also we have to understand he is using our pain to his advantage as well. He chose that word deliberately.”
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday introduced a resolution opposing the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria, one week after the House passed a similar measure.The resolution also voices opposition to the departure of troops in Afghanistan."If not arrested, withdrawing from Syria will invite more of the chaos that breeds terrorism and creates a vacuum our adversaries will certainly fill," McConnell said in remarks from the Senate floor.The move comes two weeks after President Donald Trump announced plans to remove U.S. troops from northern Syria ahead of a Turkish military advance to expel Kurdish forces from the area.
While Halloween glorifies ghosts and goblins, death and mayhem, and maybe entertaining, don’t miss one of the most important events in Christian history: Martin Luther’s nailing of the 95-Thesis protesting the selling of indulgences to absolve purchasers from sin.
All Souls’ (Saints) Day (November 1) is a Roman Catholic, Anglican and some Protestants’ celebration of Christian saints.The night before, October 31, first known as All-Hallows Eve before its more common name Halloween. On October 31, 1517, Luther tacked a document on the Wittenberg Castle Church’s door attacking the Roman Catholic Church’s corrupt practices. Thus sparking the Protestant Reformation.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters he has no control over how long the Senate would take to conclude a trial if the House votes to impeach President Trump.“I have no idea how long this will go on,” said the Kentucky Republican.McConnell’s words appear to contradict a suggestion he made last month when he said that while the Senate would have to take up impeachment, “how long you are on it is a different matter.”If the House passes articles of impeachment, the Senate would have to follow existing rules for conducting the trial unless 100 senators agreed to change the rules.The trial would take place every afternoon except Sunday,
OTTAWA - A Quebec separatist party that softened its demands for independence reaped the reward on Monday, mounting a remarkable comeback in Canada’s election that helped deprive Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of a majority. The Bloc Quebecois, revitalized under new leader Yves-Francois Blanchet, jumped to 32 seats from 10 seats in the predominantly French-speaking province, according to provisional results. Quebec accounts for 78 seats in the House of Commons, second only to Ontario. “We have come far but we will go further,” Blanchet told jubilant supporters in the early hours of Tuesday. The ruling Liberals went into the election seeking
Jack Kerouac found the end of his storied road in a St. Petersburg hospital 50 years ago Monday.
The so-called King of the Beats is still celebrated throughout the city. For much of October, the Spirit of Kerouac Festival has events popping up around town. And Dale Nichols, owner of the Flamingo Bar — one of Kerouac’s only remaining haunts — still gets visitors looking to connect to a counterculture hero.
But the Jack Kerouac who lived in an unassuming house on 10th Avenue N with his mother and third wife, Stella, was not the folk hero of On the Road. He was not Dean Moriarty.
The mail this morning fits into a single cardboard box, not large. Gilbert Lujan carries it out the back door of the Marfa post office, along with a couple packages, and puts it all on the rear seat of his pickup, on the right-hand side, so he can swing around and reach it from the driver’s seat. “Okay,” he says, climbing in and starting the truck. “Let’s deliver the mail.”
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Gilbert drives a 133-mile route that takes him to some of the state’s most remote outposts, from Marfa down the vertiginous Pinto Canyon Road to the hamlets
Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.) on Tuesday doubled down on his calls for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) to be censored and removed from the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry against President Trump.
“Adam Schiff is someone who not only ought to be censored but is someone who certainly should not be leading this whole inquiry,” Hice, who is a member on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, told Hill.TV during an appearance on "Rising."
“He lies to the American people, putting words in the mouth of the president of the United States as though these are words that the president said — they were not whatsoever,”
According to multiple news outlets on Monday, House Democrats have conceded that they are very unlikely to conclude their impeachment inquiry and vote on articles by Thanksgiving, their original preferred timeline. They cited scheduling difficulties and new evidence of potential wrong doing by the White House as main reasons for the delay.
Democrats now say that they hope to be ready for a vote by Christmas, but waiting that long to resolve the matter in the House and send it over to the Senate is rife with problems, which was why Democrats wanted it to be wrapped up by Thanksgiving in the first place. If articles of impeachment were passed near
A federal judge last week sentenced a Chinese national to nearly four years in prison for trying to steal U.S. space technology, the latest corporate spy snared by an FBI that has ramped up protection of American businesses amid President Trump’s trade war with Beijing. Over the past year, the Justice Department has brought public charges against Chinese nationals and entities in 10 separate trade secret cases.(Snip) Among the guilty pleas reviewed by The Times was one from Tao Li, 39, a Chinese national sentenced Friday for conspiring to steal “highly sensitive” electronic components that can withstand significant levels of radiation
Under Armour chief executive Kevin Plank—who got rocked last year by reports that he had presided over a frat-house culture at the athletic wear giant—will step down from the role next year. Plank, who has been chief executive since he founded the company in 1996, will relinquish the helm at the beginning of next year.(Snip) Late last year, the Wall Street Journal reported that Plank and other execs for years had taken athletes and co-workers to the Scores strip club that’s down the street from Under Armour’s Baltimore headquarters—with some billing the company for the sleazy outings.
As a delusional Hillary Clinton forces herself on the public once again, it might be instructional to look back on the endgame of a remarkably similar political figure. Recall that as his life neared its end in 1953, 74-year-old Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin’s cerebral arteries hardened to the point of intensifying his own power-mad delusions.
According to Dr. Alexander Myasnikov, Stalin’s physician,“In essence, a sick man ruled the state… Stalin’s cruelty and paranoia, his fear of enemies, his losing the ability to soberly assess people and events, as well as his extreme stubbornness, were all in large part the result of the atherosclerosis of the arteries in his brain.”
President Trump blasted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for "taking too long" to put the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement up for a vote and called her "Nervous Nancy" in a tweet on Tuesday. "Can't believe that Nervous Nancy Pelosi isn't moving faster on USMCA. Her people want it, they don't know why she isn't putting it up for a bipartisan vote. Taking too long!" Trump wrote on Twitter. (Tweet) The USMCA, which was approved last year to overhaul the dated North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), is ready to go but the impeachment inquiry has taken a front seat.
A bipartisan Senate bill aimed at pressurizing Turkey over its military offensive against Syrian Kurdish forces contains a provision requiring the administration to explore “viable alternative” locations for U.S. military troops and assets now based in Turkey.Their current base, Incirlik in the NATO ally’s southeast, is home to the U.S. Air Force’s busiest air traffic control complex in Europe. Crucially, it’s also believed to house the largest stockpile of U.S. tactical nuclear weapons in Europe.“Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to Congress an interagency report assessing viable alternative
In Texas, a jury ruled against a father who was trying to prevent one of his sons from undergoing a “gender transition” process, according to the Daily Wire.
Eleven of the twelve jurors ruled against Jeffrey Younger as he was trying to gain sole custody of his twin sons from his ex-wife Anne Georgulas, who is trying to force one of the boys, James, to take puberty blockers.
As a result of the ruling, the father will be forced to agree to the boy’s new “gender identity,” including his female name Luna. Speaking on a podcast after the ruling,
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Monday that he cannot establishment a new Israeli government and that he is returning the mandate to form a coalition to President Reuven Rivlin, paving the way for a different candidate to try to create a government for the first time in over a decade. (Snip) Gantz, a former Israeli army chief of staff, will have 28 days to try to form a coalition. If the Gantz-led coalition talks also fail, any lawmaker backed by a majority of at least 61 Knesset members would be the next one to have a go at forming a coalition.
Former US president Barack Obama was seen arriving at the Greenwich hotel in New York City before dining with Robert De Niro. Actor De Niro has been a vocal critic of Trump in the past and has even stated he 'should not be president, period.' The former US leader looked smart in a black suit and sunglasses while holding a takeaway coffee as he arrived at the hotel on Monday. He was pictured chatting with his companions and gave a wave to waiting photographers before he ducked into the building. Later he dined with the Hollywood star and vocal Democrat at Yves
Less than two weeks after their counterparts announced plans to appeal the verdict, attorneys for Gibson's Bakery and the Gibson family have filed their own notice of appeal in their multi-million dollar lawsuit against Oberlin College. (Snip) Gibsons and their attorneys are asking be reviewed include statutory caps on compensatory and punitive monetary damages under Ohio law as well as several rulings by Miraldi. Lee Plakas, lead attorney for the Gibsons, said this summer that he believes damage caps for defamation by libel or slander are unconstitutional and that his team would fight them on appeal.
The hole in the ozone layer has shrunk to its smallest size since scientists began monitoring it in 1982 because of unusual weather patterns in the upper atmosphere over Antarctica, according to NASA. The hole fluctuates in size annually and is usually largest during the coldest months in the southern hemisphere, from late September to early October. The latest observations from space have shown the hole now covers less than 3.9million square miles–a record low and almost half as small as it was during its peak at 6.3million on September 8 only six weeks ago. Experts say the hole is usually
Having lost an Election that was theirs to win, it’s time for the Conservatives to find a strong leader The only good news takeaway from yesterday’s Canadian Election is that scandal-plagued Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his ‘Progressive’ MPs were reduced to Minority Status, despite the fact that the Socialist New Democrat Party (NDP), with whom he will likely form a Coalition Government, will make Canada even more Progressive.
It’s a blessing in no disguise that Barack Obama’s 11th-hour endorsement couldn’t pull him over
WASHINGTON - White House hopeful Elizabeth Warren said on Monday that if elected she would roughly quadruple federal funding for public schools and incentivize states to adopt funding approaches that more equitably fund lower-income schools. Warren, a U.S. senator from Massachusetts who is now a front-runner for the Democratic Party's 2020 presidential nomination along with former Vice President Joe Biden, wrote in a post on the website Medium that her plan would result in the federal government investing an additional $450 billion in elementary and secondary schools over the next decade. "Our current approach to school funding at the federal, state
ATLANTA— Former President Jimmy Carter is in the hospital again after falling and fracturing his pelvis at his home in Plains, Georgia.Carter Center spokeswoman Deanne Congileo described the fracture as minor in a statement issued Tuesday. She said the 95-year-old is in good spirits at the Phoebe Sumter Medical Center and is looking forward to recovering at home after his fall Monday evening.This is the third time Carter has fallen in recent months. He first fell in the spring and required hip replacement surgery. Carter fell again this month and despite receiving 14 stitches, traveled the next day to Nashville, Tennessee
As expected, on Monday evening the House voted along party lines to table the Republican resolution to censure Democrat Adam Schiff. And as expected, a self-righteous Schiff responded with an attack on the GOP saying, “they lacked the courage to confront the most dangerous and unethical president in American history.”“It will be said of House Republicans,” he tweeted, “When they found they lacked the courage to confront the most dangerous and unethical president in American history, They consoled themselves by attacking those who did.”
President Trump should want a rapid impeachment process. The Ukraine story hasn’t been good for him, and there is only one way out — to get impeached, and the sooner, the better. The president obviously hates the idea of being impeached. He thinks it’s unfair and is raging against the process with every political and legal argument his team can muster
President Trump on Tuesday characterized the House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry as a “lynching.” “So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights,” the president wrote on Twitter. “All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here – a lynching. But we will WIN!” In another tweet he commended the Republicans who voted to censure Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee,
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calf.) issued a statement on Sunday honoring her older brother Thomas D’Alesandro III, the former mayor of Baltimore, Md., who had passed away that day.“Tommy was the finest public servant I have ever known,” Pelosi said. “His life and leadership were a tribute to the Catholic values with which we were raised: faith, family, patriotism. He profoundly believed, as did our parents, that public service was a noble calling and that we all had a responsibility to help others.”D’Alesandro, who was 90 years old, served as mayor of Baltimore from 1967 to 1971.
The Guardian reported, "Guardian picture editor Fiona Shields explains why we are going to be using fewer polar bears and more people to illustrate our coverage of the climate emergency."
That is because there are too many polar bears. An estimated 25,000 to 40,000 polar bears live in the Arctic -- up from just 5,000 a half-century ago.
The Guardian was too dishonest to admit it.
But the Canadian Press reported last year, "There are too many polar bears in parts of Nunavut and climate change hasn’t yet affected any of them, says a draft management plan from the territorial government that contradicts much of conventional scientific thinking.

Nancy Pelosi released a “fact sheet” outlining her justification for the impeachment process. Within the justification Speaker Pelosi/Lawfare intentionally conflates investigating past political corruption/interference (2016) with the current 2020 election.Speaker Pelosi’s self-serving position boils down to: any effort by the executive branch to investigate prior political corruption is grounds for presidential impeachment.

Finally….. Senator Rand Paul directly calls-out Senator Lindsey Graham, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee for doing absolutely NOTHING. At a certain point it becomes necessary to accept willful blindness for what it is…. Senator Graham wants to protect the Deep State more than Senator Graham wants to protect a constitutional republic.
It’s worth noting that Senator Rand Paul’s statement comes out at the same time Senator Lindsey Graham has said he will support the impeachment of President Trump as soon as the articles reach the Senate for trial.
President Trump spoke of his impeachment with an air of inevitability Monday as he and top advisers tried mostly in vain to focus the conversation in Washington on the strong U.S. economy and campaign promises kept.
“I think they want to impeach me because it’s the only way they’re going to win” the 2020 election, the president said of House Democrats. “They want to impeach, and they want to do it as quick as possible.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a “fact sheet” and video Monday that could provide hints about articles of impeachment that Democrats may pursue against Mr. Trump, accusing him of a “shakedown” involving Ukraine,
On Monday, PragerU released a video giving two solid scientific reasons to doubt the Darwinian theory of evolution. In the video, Stephen C. Meyer, who earned a Ph.D. in the history and philosophy of science and who serves as a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, lays out two key flaws in the evolutionary theory that is often taught as gospel truth in may high schools and colleges.
Meyer begins the video by quoting evolutionary biologist and New Atheist Richard Dawkins, who claimed that anyone who does not believe in evolution is either "ignorant, stupid, or insane." By that criteria, many in the scientific community are losing their sanity...
Who exactly are the “Resistance,” as explored in Kim Strassel’s new book “Resistance (At All Costs): How Trump Haters are Breaking America”?
How are “Trump haters” different from “Trump critics?” How is the Resistance different from past political movements? What are the long-term implications of its activities? And how are the media involved?
And, how can the Trump “impeachment inquiry” be seen as the latest chapter of the Resistance’s efforts?
Turns out, the scramble for political money has become far more decisive in the Democratic primary races than any of their policy papers or tedious TV debates. And in that money contest, former Vice President Joe Biden has also become the former front-runner for 2020. He’s now lagging far behind the new frontrunners: Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and — wait for it — Pete Buttigieg, the fresh-faced Indiana mayor. [Snip] Fresh third-quarter campaign finance reports indicate donors are already picking winners in the still-crowded field. And they’re also picking losers, some of whom may not even make it to the first voting. And then there’s
How would one categorize a nation-state whose army gives a drug baron’s son to cartel members after suffering brutal losses in pitched battles? The country whose firebrand leftist president apologized on television and said the army’s surrender to a drug cartel was the correct thing to do, because “we do not want war”?
If the reports are correct, this is precisely what happened in Mexico, around the same time the Democratic presidential primary field was debating whether there should be more trillion-dollar expenditures in the U.S. budget. Instead, a failed state on the southern border of the United States should ring alarm bells in the Pentagon.
US President Donald Trump addressed members of the Republican Party during a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Monday, following the escalating impeachment inquiry and criticism that he is currently facing from some GOP representatives, saying, as quoted by The Hill, that the party has to “get tougher”.
“Republicans have to get tougher and fight”, Trump said during the meeting, as quoted by the media outlet. “We have some that are great fighters, but they have to get tougher and fight because the Democrats are trying to hurt the Republican Party for the election”.
Commenting on reports that money used to fund some of the groups participating in the Vatican's Amazonian synod came from the pro-abortion Ford Foundation -- whose Board members include former Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards -- Bishop Joseph Strickland, head of the Diocese of Strickland, Texas, said, "Uncertain about where the truth is? Follow the money!!! ... Money associated with PP [Planned Parenthood] is blood money."
It's "Diabolical!" he added in his Oct. 19 tweet.
Since 2010, the Ford Foundation has given $20,203,250 to 5 different Planned Parenthood affiliates, according to the FordFoundation website.
RUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we’re gonna get to Tulsi Gabbard and Hillary Clinton. Folks, I have to tell you something. I think this show actually got this ball rolling.
It was last Wednesday that Hillary appears on that podcast that nobody heard, nobody listened to, David Plouffe’s podcast. On Friday, this program played audio excerpts of Mrs. Clinton calling Tulsi Gabbard and Jill Stein Russian agents. This program ended at 3 p.m. At 3:12 p.m. Jill Stein tweeted her reaction to it and then Tulsi Gabbard started reacting to it.
On the very day Democratic presidential contender Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) said that The New York Times and CNN were smearing veterans like herself because she opposes the "regime change" war in Syria, CNN analyst Bakari Sellers told a panel of CNN reporters "there is no question that Tulsi Gabbard ... is a puppet for the Russian government."
On CNN New Day, Oct. 15 -- the day of the Democratic presidential debate hosted by CNN and The New York Times -- CNN contributor Bakari Sellers said,
What if TV shows existed without ads and with no scheduling required? And watching movies didn’t mean going to theaters or a video rental store? Since 1997, seeking to realize that vision has led Netflix to disrupt a host of industries including video rental, DVR services, and home entertainment.
Now its streaming video on-demand (SVOD) business model is upending cable and broadcast TV networks — and Hollywood itself. Several major entertainment and tech companies plan to jump in. Yet entering the streaming wars is no easy endeavor. Tech companies with infrastructure, such as Apple, have to create or license worthwhile content, while entertainment studios with content, such as
Why does American culture constantly tell women to be more like men? The New York Times recently ran an op-ed entitled “Enough Leaning In. Let’s Tell Men to Lean Out,” opposing the assertiveness movement’s message that women should aspire to male standards. I found myself nodding along with the critique of “this fist-pumping restyling of feminism” until the author insisted that boys and men should be “trained” to be more like women.
As the mother of three daughters and one (still tiny) son, that’s most certainly not my goal. There is so much that is special about my daughters

Trump-Supporting Women Called ‘Terrorists’
and Thrown Out of Minneapolis Cafe replies
Three women were thrown out of a vegan eatery in Minneapolis for wearing Trump gear earlier this month, and now one of the women says her real estate business is under siege by Trump-hating leftists. Employees at the “worker-owned” Hard Times Cafe verbally abused the pro-life Trump supporters, calling them “terrorists” and “baby killers,” before forcing them to leave.
A day before President Trump’s rally at the Target Center, Jennifer Underwood drove her two friends to a protest at the downtown office of Mayor Jacob Frey, who had tried to charge an exorbitant security fee of $530,000 to the Trump campaign. Underwood
Merry Christmas America, you are getting a big fat impeachment trial from the Democrats’ Santa Claus this year. Ho, ho, ho. Democrats have re-calibrated their impeachment timeline in order to make their case the to public.
The New York Times wants you to know:
House Democrats have resigned themselves to the likelihood that impeachment proceedings against President Trump will extend into the Christmas season, as they plan a series of public hearings intended to make the simplest and most devastating possible public case in favor of removing Mr. Trump.
Everyone Knows a Mitt Romney
replies
Mitt Romney is that guy.
The kid who made the team because his parents donated big dough to the school but gives footwork advice to the other legit athletes. The fraternity brother who wore khakis to keg parties and drank Bartles and Jaymes out of a solo cup but pretended it was beer. The office colleague who cribbed someone else’s idea from a presentation or an email chain and passed it off as his own to the boss. Then he became the executive who inspires only eyerolls during his weekly motivational session. “How the hell did this guy get this far?!” everyone internally screams.
If you haven’t had your daily dose of petulant surreality, swivel over to read this astounding editorial at what used to be America’s paper of record. This curious effusion warns that “The G.O.P. will not be able to postpone a reckoning on Donald Trump’s presidency for much longer.”
Oh, dear. Are things as bad as that? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. And you know that it is really serious because the cri de coeur not only appears in the leaky flagship of the legacy media (I won’t name it if you don’t mind) but also it appears under the solemn byline of “The Editorial Board.”
You can't make this stuff up.
Mitt Romney admits he's operating a secret Twitter account, revealing his real thoughts about President Trump, the deplorables, and everyone else, posting as — are you ready — Pierre Delecto.
Just spoke to @MittRomney on the phone, and asked him about Pierre Delecto. His only response: "C'est moi." Updated my story accordingly: https://t.co/kcfIopokWh

Slight of Hand
replies
Nothing is what it appears to be. We know this deep in our bones, but rarely do we spend much time digging into ultimate realities. America’s wealth and vitality have made it possible for most of us to entertain ourselves and go about our business, rarely thinking too deeply about anything. We had a little flurry of shock and curiosity when JFK was assassinated, but that has petered out. The tragedy of 9/11 has worn off. Those things came and went, but didn’t seem to hit at the core of the American soul. All that’s happening now does.

By now, you've all heard about Speaker Nancy Pelosi walking out on President Trump. I'm still a bit confused about "he said," but "she said" that he showed no respect.
My theory is that Speaker Pelosi was trying to pick a fight with President Trump to compensate for the announcement that there'd be no impeachment vote anytime soon.
What else do you do when the left wants to hang him from the tree outside of the Capitol Building?
No matter what, Speaker Pelosi did not look good for a woman who is third in line to assume the presidency.
An Arizona-based organization of physicians is praising President Donald Trump’s executive order that expands options for Americans on Medicare, including the option to choose a private treatment or insurance over the government-run program.
In a letter to Trump on Friday, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), a national organization representing physicians in all specialties since 1943, wrote: Allowing seniors to opt out of Medicare Part A without losing their Social Security benefits is a huge step toward protection and ensuring the right of Americans to choose their medical treatment and their means of arranging payment for medical care.
CNN chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin voiced regret on Monday for how he covered the Hillary Clinton email scandal during her failed 2016 presidential run, saying in hindsight that he “should have been talking about other issues.”
Toobin made the comments while responding to Friday’s news on the Justice Department finally concluding their investigation into the Clinton email matter and found no “systemic” effort from the former secretary of state to flout laws protecting classified information.
“This is also a story about the news media, about how much time we spent on that, and that’s something that I have felt a great deal of personal responsibility for,” Toobin told CNN’s New Day.
When I was a kid, I collected baseball cards. I grew up in an isolated and not especially large town, but it did have one comic book and baseball card shop that I spent a lot of time in, salivating over the Mark McGwire rookie card in the display case. I couldn’t afford it — it was worth maybe $5 at the time — so I would usually just buy a pack of Topps or Donruss cards for 50 cents and hope I got lucky in what I found. Obviously, I didn’t get as lucky finding the cards for my favorite players as I would have liked.
Lies and the Kavanaugh hearing
replies
After being acquitted in May 1987 of all 10 counts of larceny and fraud — charges that some said were politically motivated — in connection with a New York City subway project, former Reagan administration Labor Secretary Ray Donovan turned to the Bronx prosecutor and famously asked, “Which office do I go to, to get my reputation back?”
That same thought surely has crossed the mind of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh more than once in the year since he barely survived a politically motivated, evidence-free smear campaign by liberal activists and Senate Democrats aimed at blocking his elevation to the high court.
But now, nine Republican
The “Supermarket Sweep”
replies
When I was a kid, a television show called Supermarket Sweep featured teams of middle Americans bolting through grocery store aisles and filling their carts with food, household products, and pet supplies. The show’s premise was that, for two minutes, the rule of law—in this case, the law against shoplifting—would be suspended. The team with the largest haul could take home their bounty of groceries, win prizes, and compete for the championship.
Today, in some West Coast cities, the Supermarket Sweep isn’t a game show—it’s a dark reality, fueled by addiction, crime, and bad public policy. From Seattle to Los Angeles, a “shoplifting boom”
As Chicago teachers marched into Week Two of their strike Monday, Chicago Teachers Union leaders pursued their strategy of moving the goal posts. One indicator: Contract demands that started with pay now include rent control, a policy the state legislature has been debating.
Come on, CTU. Quit playing games.
Rent control policy has no place in a teacher contract negotiation. Nor does affordability of housing. Nor does presidential politics. But in the spaghetti-throwing exercise CTU has employed for months, issues that fall outside the parameters of a labor agreement keep getting tossed at the wall. What will stick? How about free yoga classes
Last week, the Supreme Court agreed to hear what could end up being the most consequential case of the term — in a year where the justices are already taking up employment discrimination, the Second Amendment, abortion, DACA, school choice, and other issues of higher political salience. In Seila Law LLC v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Court will decide the constitutionality of an agency long criticized not just by the business community and free-market-oriented politicians but also by constitutional scholars who see major problems with its structure as a single-director agency seemingly unaccountable to the president or anyone else.

U.S. Attorney John Durham intends to interview former CIA Director John Brennan as part of his investigation into U.S. intelligence agencies’ activities in the Trump-Russia probe, according to NBC News.
Brennan told NBC News, where he is an analyst, that both he and James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, are sought for interviews with Durham’s investigators. The interviews, should they occur, would signal that Durham is expanding his investigation.
Attorney General William Barr appointed Durham to oversee an inquiry into U.S. agencies’ Trump-related intelligence-gathering activities earlier this year. Barr said he was not satisfied with official explanations about the origins of the investigation into possible ties
Protests are roiling cities across the world as fed-up citizens take to the streets to vent their grievances — both peacefully and violently — about economic conditions, government corruption and crippling tax hikes.
Hong Kong has been gripped by more than 20 weeks of violent clashes — while in Barcelona, old wounds have reopened as protesters once again demand Catalonia be recognized as a country separate from Spain.
Lebanon, meanwhile, appears to be on the brink of disastrous civil unrest again.

You can’t have a quid pro quo without the other party being aware there’s a quid and reports indicated the Ukrainian government was unaware that aid was allegedly being withheld to pressure them to dig up dirt on Trump opponent Joe Biden. And the aid wasn’t really aid, but was additional Javelin anti-tank missiles bought and paid for by Ukraine with its own money.
Britain's long and winding path out of the European Union has taken another twist — into another potential dead end. The U.K. is due to leave the EU in 10 days, and Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been stymied twice in 48 hours in his attempt to get Parliament to approve his divorce deal.

BRITAIN LEAVES WITH A DEAL
As it stands, Britain will cease to be a member of the EU at midnight Brussels time (11 p.m. London time) on Oct. 31.
Just when you thought the Democratic primary race could not get any nuttier (Bill de Blasio’s hapless quest sets a high bar), along comes Hillary Clinton accusing Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of being a Russian agent. Or, words to that effect.
More accurately, in a podcast hosted by former Obama apparatchik David Plouffe, Clinton said candidate Gabbard is “the favorite of the Russians” and suggested Moscow was supporting her bid through fake social media postings.
Since Gabbard is only polling at 1.2 percent, according to the Real Clear Politics average, Russia doesn’t seem to be helping much. More important, there is zero evidence that any such meddling has occurred.
President Trump lashed out at Mitt Romney saying Democrats don’t have to deal with backstabbers like he does after the former Massachusetts governor admitted he was behind a bogus Twitter account used to slam the administration.“I think (Democrats) are lousy politicians. But two things they have — they’re vicious and they stick together. They don’t have Mitt Romney in their midst, they don’t have people like that,” Trump said Monday.Donald Trump Jr. also took a swipe at the Utah senator, saying Romney lacked the courage to win the presidency.“If Mitt Romney had any guts the would would take on media directly rather than with a fake twitter account,

President Trump spoke of his impeachment with an air of inevitability Monday as he and top advisers tried mostly in vain to focus the conversation in Washington on the strong U.S. economy and campaign promises kept.“I think they want to impeach me because it’s the only way they’re going to win” the 2020 election, the president said of House Democrats. “They want to impeach, and they want to do it as quick as possible.” (Snip) “We have some [Republicans] that are great fighters, but they have to get tougher and fight because the Democrats are trying to hurt the Republican Party for the election,” Mr. Trump said.
