The Evening Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Well, now we know why Andrew McCabe needed that half million dollar legal defense fund. The fired ex-Deputy Director of the FBI is really on a roll when it comes to having criminal referrals filed against him: Yesterday, he gets one from 11 members of the U.S. House of Representatives, and today he gets one lobbed out in his direction by Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Bang! Boom! Pow! It’s like he’s playing a bad guy in an episode of the 1960s TV version of Batman. The IG’s referral...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Florida Republican Congressman Ron DeSantis, along with 10 other GOP members of the House, sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray on Wednesday, detailing formal criminal referrals against James Comey, Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch and Andrew McCabe. While Sean Hannity and other conservative radio and TV talk show hosts played the letter up as if it is a momentous event, the truth is that it makes referrals that are already being acted upon by the Attorney General. Sessions has already and repeatedly made it clear that...

"I asked them how they felt about the "moderate rebels" that they were living under and they said 'there's no such thing as moderate rebels'. They said that the people they were living under were starving them to death...they hoarded the medicine and took everything for themselves....if anyone complained you were risking your life, they'd kill you, they'd kill you and your family for complaining or raising any problems....." "One America News Network" reporter Pearson Sharp reports on his visit to Douma, Syria after it was taken back by the Syrian government from "The Army of Islam" rebels who held...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Barbara Bush, America’s matriarch, Rest In Peace. Tired of all this Winning yet? – It turns out that not everybody in California is crazy after all. On Tuesday, the San Diego County board of supervisors became the latest local government to vote to support the Trump Administration’s lawsuit challenging the Golden State’s sanctuary state law. The County joins neighboring Orange County and cities like San Juan Capistrano, Los Alamitos, Huntington Beach, Aliso Viejo, Mission Viejo and Escondido in opposing the state’s open borders law. All of the cities and counties listed above...

Loretta Lynch’s Justice Department and James Comey’s FBI worked together with the Hillary Clinton campaign to entrap Donald Trump and associates — including his eldest son — prior to the 2016 presidential election, according to records and testimony of federal law enforcement insiders. One high ranking official in the Justice Department called it a sweeping “highly illegal” scheme to ensure Hillary Clinton’s election to the White House. “This was clearly a scheme using Justice (Department) resources and State (Department) resources to get the Russian lawyer into the United States,” one Justice Department insider said. “Who has the power to do...

Robert Fisk of the British "Independent" newspaper, a veteran of decades of reporting from the Middle East, made it to Douma, Syria and has sent back his report from there. "This is the story of a town called Douma, a ravaged, stinking place of smashed apartment blocks-and of an underground clinic whose images of suffering allowed three of the Western world's most powerful nations to bomb Syria last week. There's even a friendly doctor in a green coat who, when I track him down in the very same clinic, cheerfully tells me that the "gas" videotape which horrified the world-despite...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – Heads had to be exploding all over the fake mainstream news media on Monday, as President Trump hit 51% approval in the Rasmussen Survey and several other polls showed the President’s approval ticking upwards. These results have to be maddening to all the fake reporters and editors who wake up every day intent on slanting their reporting against the current POTUS in their tireless efforts to reverse the outcome of the 2016 national election. Even worse for the fake media and its masters at the...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Former FBI Director James Comey thinks Donald Trump is “morally unfit” to be president. In other news, Carrie Underwood made a fabulous comeback appearance on the American Country Music Awards program, and the “Big Sexy”, 44 year-old, 285 lb. Bartolo Colon, tossed a perfect game through 7 innings against the world champion Houston Astros before finally giving up a walk and a hit in the 8th inning of the Texas Rangers’ 3-1 victory. Thus, Sunday night featured two fabulous performers showing the world they still have what it takes to thrill their...

BOMBSHELL - Loretta Lynch threatened the NYPD and the NY FBI with charges on the Eric Garner case if they went public with the contents of Weiner’s laptopIndependent Journalist TracyBeanz has uncovered a trail of dirt on Loretta Lynch discovered within thr OIG report on Andrew McCabe. A summary of a thread by @tracybeanz on twitter: OIG BOMBSHELL!!

"So the count for shell casings--I'll recap that Officer 1 the trooper shoots three times as the truck is approaching. Then there are two non trib shots as LaVoy Finicum gets out of his vehicle. One strikes the top of the truck--that's the bullet hole in the top of the truck--and then Officer 1 shoots LaVoy Finicum twice, and Officer 2 shoots him one for a total of eight rounds....."

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – Hey, Californian’s, you’re in luck! The feds are going to audit Governor Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown’s high speed rail project, and, if the audit is conducted honestly, will likely conclude that it is time to cut off funding for the single biggest boondoggle in American history. Yes, dear readers, it isn’t bad enough that California’s utterly corrupt Democrat political class has already wasted billions of Californians’ dollars on this high-speed rail pipe dream, they’ve also already wasted $3.5 billion federal dollars, and are planning on wasting...

Globalism is as harmless as recycling and as sinister as enforced belief in gay rights. It is as pervasive as seat belts, and as cultish as watching Stephen Colbert in the belief that he is always right. What is globalism? We use the term a lot, but what makes a person a globalist? The shortest answer I can formulate is that it has replaced communism as the doctrine of the far left, and become the creed of political correctness. There are seven main distinguishing characteristics of globalism as compared to the politics of the democratic right (and these divides are...

Whether of not DJT has a private channel of communication to the Russian leadership remains an open question for me. Those who love to think of history as an endless series of conspiratorial meetings favor the idea that DJT and VP agreed on the level of damage that would be acceptable given the fury of the gas hysteria of the last week. There well may be such a link though US Embassy Moscow. I hope there is such a link. In any event, Trump obviously chose one of the more inoffensive options offered to him by the JCS and James...

News reports and the Israeli "DEBKAfile" website reported explosions near Aleppo late Saturday evening. "DEBKAfile" reported the explosions at an Iranian base. Reuters quoted the "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights", a British based monitoring group supporting opposition forces in Syria, reporting a single "huge blast" in a rural area south of Aleppo. Turkish TV channel CNN Turk reported that a single huge explosion shook an "Iranian training camp" and that a source there spoke of 20 dead in the blast. "DEBKAfile" also published the notion of unconfirmed reports of "unknown aircraft" in the area. Another Israeli operation in the mix...

Sen McCain has been quick to jump on anything the President does, especially over the last few months. But can anyone state the last time we have seen him in public?

"Russia strongly condemns the attack on Syria where Russian servicemen are helping the legitimate government in the war on terrorism" Russian President Vladimir Putin 4/14/2018 Russia is calling for a UN Security Council meeting to discuss the attacks in Syria last night...... Israel, meanwhile, apparently fearing Iranian retaliation, has declared a No Fly Zone in the Golan region......

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is reportedly telling people around him that he is at peace with the manner in which he has conducted himself in his tireless efforts to preserve the Washington, DC Deep State and take down a sitting president, and is prepared to be fired. Well, cool. President Trump should accommodate him. Had the President taken this well-deserved action Friday morning, the story would have already been buried under at least four subsequent news cycles, because that’s how many the nation experienced...

This week in an unprecedented move, Special Counsel Robert Mueller engineered a raid on President Trump's long-time lawyer Michael Cohen that seized all of his files and documents. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lauded this piercing of the President's and Cohen Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and denial of due process, calling them "warranted exceptions." As ACLU spokesman Bertram Petty explained "the Bill of Rights is intended to protect innocent people from tyrannical abuses. In this case, everyone agrees that Trump and his associates are 'bad hombres' and as such, not entitled to any rights that...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – Congressional Budget Office (CBO) economists now admit that the Trump tax cuts will more than pay for themselves. In a report released yesterday – and studiously ignored by the fake news media, mainly because none of the CBO economists look like a porn star – the CBO now admits it vastly underestimated the tax cuts’ impact on economic growth, estimating that they will raise such growth by a full percentage point. None of this is surprising, given that the CBO’s method requires them to use...
