It was announced yesterday that Andrew McCabe will not be facing any criminal charges. https://twitter.com/MSchwartz3/status/1228366413364125701It is one more abominable event in the conspiracy against the Trump campaign. What this really does, however, is put the focus on the two tiers of the justice system that exist today- one for the left and another for the right. That two tiered system was spotlighted when James Comey let Hillary Clinton off the hook for her reckless disregard for classified information. Those committing offenses far less egregious were punished severely. That two tiered justice system now rewards Andrew McCabe. You will remember that Hillary...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi defended her decision to rip up President Donald Trump's State of the Union address earlier this month, a dramatic move that was criticized by Republicans as being disrespectful and a "breach of decorum." "One of my disappointments is the fact that with all that we have done legislatively, whether its equal pay for equal work, raising the minimum wage, gun violence protection, issues that relate to our children, the list goes on. I thought, well, let's get attention on the fact that what he said here today was not true," Pelosi told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in...

The school had to do this after a student complained that there were too many white people in the center. The Cavalier Daily reports: U.Va. clarifies that the Multicultural Student Center is open to all members of the University community following calls of ‘racial intolerance'.... In order to foster the diversity of experience and ideas that make UVA a great and good place to study and work, these centers are open to all members of the University community,” the University wrote in a statement. “They complement existing student-focused spaces such as the 1515 Building on the Corner, opened in March...

Michael Bloomberg’s campaign has leaked to the Drudge Report that Bloomberg is considering asking Hillary Clinton to be his running mate. This story doesn’t have much significance, on its face; the fact that a candidate is “considering” something isn’t exactly news. But it does reflect a few things: 1) I take it that Bloomberg is trying to beef up his bona fides as a “real” Democrat. It isn’t going to work: Democratic voters are not going to turn out for someone who endorsed George W. Bush in 2004 and enthusiastically advocated stop and frisk, among other heresies. 2) The Democrats...

I will admit I like to go to Christian Post and some news sites via Facebook and I connect to friends and family there. I have to question their claim in Community of Standards. "The goal of our Community Standards has always been to create a place for expression and give people a voice. This has not and will not change. Building community and bringing the world closer together depends on people’s ability to share diverse views, experiences, ideas and information. " What a joke. Every time I discuss sodomy I end up suspended. I know the obvious response is...

Forget “economic justice,” climate change and foreign policy. The big issue for America if Michael Bloomberg wins the presidency is: Will he install bike lanes on Interstate highways? Maybe you scoff. Of course our former mayor and his transportation sidekick Janette Sadik-Khan couldn’t possibly inflict their cycling mania from sea to shining sea. But back when Bloomberg took office in 2002, the idea that the Big Apple might one day be crisscrossed with space-hogging bike lanes seemed ridiculous. Today, the city has 1,260 traffic-snarling miles of them. They’re a barrel of fun for cycling enthusiasts, a tiny minority of New...

Associated Press A former employee of Michael Bloomberg corroborated an accusation that the business mogul told a woman to "kill it" after she announced her pregnancy, according to The Washington Post. Bloomberg, now a Democratic presidential candidate, has faced repeated faced accusations of directing sexist and crude comments to women at his company, Bloomberg LP, and previously denied that he told this to a female employee. "He talked kind of crudely about women all the time," the former employee told The Washington Post.

Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar is touting her support for amnesty and easy migration of blue-collar workers — but she is hiding her support for laws that allow employers to hire foreign graduates for the white-collar jobs needed by Klobuchar’s college graduate progressive voters. “We know that immigrants don’t diminish America, they are America,” she told a February 13 event in Nevada organized by the League of United Latin American Citizens. […] Klobuchar has a long history of support for white-collar migration, despite the impact on college voters in her home state. In 2015, for example, Klobuchar backed a bill by...

President Trump is planning on taking the presidential limo, known as "The Beast," for a ride at the Daytona 500. The White House is working with NASCAR officials for Trump to do a lap on the Daytona track in Florida to start off the racing season on Sunday, sources told Fox News White House correspondent John Roberts, who said the plan is "not 100%" as the logistics are still being worked out. SCOOP: Multiple Sources tell @FoxNews that @realDonaldTrump is planning to take a lap at the @DISupdates Daytona International Speedway in the “Beast” presidential limo ahead of the Daytona...

Over the past two decades, China's People's Liberation Army has transformed itself from a large but antiquated force into a capable, modern military. Although China continues to lag the United States in terms of aggregate military hardware and operational skills, it has improved its relative capabilities in many critical areas. To advance the public debate, RAND used open, unclassified sources to compile The U.S.-China Military Scorecard: Forces, Geography, and the Evolving Balance of Power. This comprehensive report examines U.S. and Chinese military capabilities in ten operational areas, and presents a "scorecard" for each.Each scorecard assesses the relative advantage or disadvantage...

Two days after a Myles Garrett interview aired reiterating Mason Rudolph used a racial slur toward him, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and his head coach spoke out against the allegation."1000% False. Bold-Faced Lie. I did not, have not, and would not utter a racial slur. This is a disgusting and reckless attempt to assassinate my character," Rudolph tweeted Saturday morning.The social media post includes a link to Garrett's interview on ESPN's Outside The Lines, which includes the Cleveland Browns defensive end alleging Rudolph "called me the N-word. He called me a 'stupid N-word.'"Shortly before Rudolph's tweet, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin released...

Republican congressional candidate Claire Chase is demonstrating her opposition to a proposed New Mexico gun law in a new campaign commercial obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller. The advertisement shows Chase shooting a .308 at a red flag, and touting her support for the 2nd Amendment. “I have a few words about the so-called red flag law that liberals in Santa Fe are pushing,” Chase says in the video. “This piece of legislation is an attack on our Constitutional rights that would make innocent until proven guilty into guilty until proven innocent.” “Well, today I have a few words for...

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said there was room for maneuver in reimposing the 2015 agreement that kept Tehran from developing nuclear weapons. But he added it would only happen if Germany, France and the UK showed the same willingness to reinstate the deal’s economic benefits for Iran. The landmark agreement has been on life support ever since US President Donald Trump withdrew from it in 2018 and reimposed economic sanctions on Tehran, leaving Germany, France and the UK struggling to breathe life into the ailing deal. […] “We have said that we are prepared to slow down or reverse...

“Ralph Waldo Emerson seemed to foresee the lesson of the Senate Impeachment Trial of President Trump. ‘When you strike at the King, Emerson famously said, “you must kill him.’ Mr. Trump’s foes struck at him but did not take him down. A triumphant Mr.Trump emerges from the..... .....biggest test of his presidency emboldened, ready to claim exoneration, and take his case of grievance, persecution and resentment to the campaign trail.” --Peter Baker @nytimes The Greatest Witch Hunt In American History!

Former Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said the fact Obama administration deported 3 million undocumented immigrants, many of whom had no criminal records, “was a big mistake.” “We took far too long to get it right,” Biden said in a Friday interview with Univision’s Jorge Ramos in Henderson, Nevada. Biden said the administration did not begin to “get it right” with regard to immigration until after its first term. The former vice president also did dispute that the administration deported more people than any administration before them as well as the Trump administration, though that fact has...

Government officials within China have confiscated Bibles from churches in recent months and threatened fines as part of an intensified crackdown on Christianity and an effort to eradicate “illegal publications,” according to a new report. The campaign has targeted illegal underground churches as well as legal Three-Self churches, which are registered with the government. “If our Bibles are taken away, we have no more,” a pastor of a Three-Self church in Jiangxi province told Bitter Winter, the watchdog behind the report. “We are thinking of asking our congregation members to hide them in the mountains.” In December, around 10 government...

Article lead: Problematic use of alcohol is likely far more common among HIV-positive people than in the general population. Worldwide, alcohol use disorder (AUD) is apparently much more common among people with HIV compared with the general population. This is the signature finding of the first-ever systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the prevalence of problematic use of alcohol among HIV-positive individuals around the globe. AUD, otherwise known as alcoholism, refers to the continuous use of alcohol despite its causing harm and despite repeated attempts to cut back on drinking. Problematic drinking is of particular concern for people with HIV...

The Post Millennial can report that one of the assailants who destroyed a College Republicans booth and assaulted a tabler at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has been identified as 23-year-old queer activist, Martina Martin, who also uses the name Artimus Martin.  On Feb. 7, Martin and another young woman were filmed vandalizing the booth at Quarry Plaza on the UCSC campus. Martin, who uses “they” and “them” pronouns, can be seen taking the lead on the attack by trying to forcibly yank a “Trump 2020” flag from Hayden Williams, who was tabling at the booth and was scheduled as...

......Jenkins cites these examples of leaders betraying their people and their principles: When a recording leaked of Mr. Bloomberg defending stop-and-frisk in New York, Andre Fields of the liberal voting-rights group Fair Fight Action rushed out a tweet hitting him as a “true terrorist” but promptly deleted it. Fair Fight Action had received $5 million in funding from Mr. Bloomberg. At a historic moment when “quid pro quo” is a talking point on the left, this looks awfully bad.......
