Reflections on the anatomy of a setup… The news of the hour is about Charlottesville and its many copycats. For decades, there have been people agitating to take down monuments to Confederate heroes, and for just as long, there have been people defending them. But only in the summer of 2017 did this issue vault to the top of the headlines, above far worthier issues. The question of the hour should not be what to do about the statues. The question should be "Why?" Why is this issue arising, when there is so much in the world that is so...

He was not supposed to be back until Thursday, but President Trump’s Tuesday afternoon may have been too much for Joe Scarborough as he returned to air a day early. The Morning Joe host beamed in to co-anchor his namesake show from what appeared to be a living room in Maine to denounce the Commander-in-Chief after the comments he made during his Trump Tower press conference on Tuesday. 'He has now officially become the president of the white nationalist movement,' said Scarborough. 'The president has chosen sides, and it is very clear. Not only morally, but also politically.' Scarborough then...

POLL: Who was responsible for the violence in Charlottesville? White racists Antifa thugs Both sides

Let’s start by stipulating this: Everything President Trump said in his press conference yesterday about Saturday’s events in Charlottesville was 100% true. That is why he was so viciously assailed by every fake reporter in the fake national news media following that press conference. Wait, what? – Yes, that’s how it works with the fake news media these days. You have a dishonest class of people – fake journalists at the nation’s major media outlets – who are coordinating with another dishonest class of people – progressive Democrats – to brainwash the public into believing a false narrative that demands...

COMEDIAN Kathy Griffin has posted a bizarre, grovelling letter she claims she received from a high-powered US TV executive and was ordered to forward on to US President Donald Trump in the hopes of rehabilitating her career. The controversial comic weathered her biggest scandal yet in June when she posted footage from a photo shoot in which she held a dummy Trump severed head aloft. Reaction from both sides of the US political divide was swift and brutal, and Griffin apologised as networks and brands rushed to disassociate themselves from her. The scandal certainly hurt Griffin’s career — and also...

"""Charlottesville Deputy Mayor’s Troubling Twitter Feed: “I Hate Seeing White People” and “Beanpole White Women…” (VIDEO)""" Charlottesville Deputy Mayor Wes Bellamy is on the hot seat again for a history of racially-charged, sexist and divisive posts on social media which are again attracting unwanted scrutiny for the officials who run the embattled Virginia town. Bellamy stepped down from a post on the Virginia Board of Education after his Twitter history went public but he still serves as the deputy or vice mayor of Charlottesville, according to news reports. With all the finger pointing about racial strife, hatred and responsibility coming...

Well this is fishy. His name is Jason Kessler. He is the one cited as the organizer of the now infamous “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The thing is, Mr. Kessler’s arrival on the “alt right” and/or “White Nationalist” scene didn’t occur until November 2016. That’s right – Kessler didn’t start his white nationalist activism until after Donald Trump won the White House. Prior to that it appears he participated in the far left/socialist Occupy Wall Street movement as noted by the far-left, George Soros-funded Southern Poverty Law Center Rumors abound on white nationalist forums that Kessler’s ideological...

"No Free Speech for Fascists!" It's a motto you see on pre-printed signs at protests, including at yesterday's rallies in reaction to the violence and death in Charlottesville, Virginia, this weekend. Paired with a flood of invective against the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for the group's support of Unite the Right's right to stage a rally at the city's statue of Robert E. Lee in the first place, they make for a troubling trend. Support for the ACLU has been on the uptick from the left of late, thanks to Executive Director Anthony Romero's decisive legal maneuvering and online...

Remember when the Russians hacked the DNC email and records system last year? Yeah, about that… Cyber experts have been digging through all of the available material for over a year now trying to pin down exactly what happened but the answers to date have been less than satisfying. This isn’t the first time, but now another report has come out saying that the standard explanation we’ve been given (Russia, Russia Russia) doesn’t appear to hold water. The interesting aspect here is that this one isn’t coming from some right wing source with an ax to grind against Hillary Clinton,...

The parasitic left is at it again. It’s not enough that 20-year-old James Fields of Ohio plowed his car into a group of protesters in Charlottesville at Saturday’s White Nationalist rally killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer. The violence apparently hasn’t escalated enough. More people need to die. This is the message the mainstream media and elected officials are pushing forward as they carry on doing precisely what they’ve been doing for almost two years now. They are agitators. They are escalators of division. Today Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer tweeted that he’d asked the Commission on Public Art to review any items...

Was “Unite the Right” a Soros-funded Psychological Operation? Was the goal to employ the “Pied Piper” strategy to damage the Republican brand by insinuating that Antifa goons disguised as Nazis represent the views of the entire Right Wing in America? (Is this what Creamer and Democracy Partners have been up to lately?) This whole event feels staged.Lets look at a few things: The protesters show up with all the same TIKI torches.All the same, brand new flags fresh out the wrapper. Still with the packaging folds.The Mainstream Media is there and many Antifa protesters are there yet Trump supporters haven’t...

In May of this year, federal prosecutor Beranton Whisenant's body was found on a Hollywood, Florida beach with a gunshot wound to the head. Three months later, the Hollywood Police Department has ruled the death a suicide. Whisenant worked for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami in its major crimes unit. He was handling several visa and passport fraud cases in the congressional district represented by beleaguered former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Oddly, no weapon was recovered at or near the scene. Chief of Police Tomas Sanchez admitted that "the absence of a weapon near the...

At the same time the Guccifer "Hack" was taking place, Joe Biden was hosting a meeting with 18 Ukrainians. Very unusual for him. Warren Flood was a consultant for Biden. Warren Flood was the name the Microsoft account was registered to on the Guccifer documents. More Ukrainian connections. Also be sure to watch the video where Imprisoned Romanian hacker ‘Guccifer’ tells Fox News that ‘Guccifer 2.0’ could be the U.S. State Department.

The mother of the man who allegedly plowed into a group of people protesting a white nationalist rally Saturday in Virginia said she knew her son was attending a rally -- but she thought it was a rally for President Trump, not for white nationalists. In an interview Saturday night in Toledo, Ohio, with The Associated Press, Samantha Bloom said of her son James Alex Fields Jr., "I just knew he was going to a rally. I mean, I try to stay out of his political views. You know, we don't, you know, I don't really get too involved, I...

Some points that give the scam away: Operation in Terry McAuliffe's state. No reason for this other than to give McAuliffe national attention for opposing it, launching him into the 2020 Dem primary. He even tries to Streisand more useful idiots into showing up by ordering everyone to stay away. Use of Confederate flag imagery. Republicans have no use for the Confederate flag (we never did, we crushed the Democrat rebellion that created the flag). We control the government for the vast majority of states at every level, the entire federal government, and we own practically everything except a few...

The son of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro threatened to "take the White House" with guns if the U.S. military intervened in the country, as President Trump considered Friday. "If the U.S. soils the homeland, the rifles would come to New York and take the White House," Nicolas Maduro Guerra said, according to Politico....

One year ago, the news broke that the Democratic National Committee had been hacked. Tongues began wagging and fingers began pointing that Russia was behind it. However, Democrats might want to get the Kremlin on the phone and offer an apology because a new report suggests the DNC hack may not have been a "hack" at all. It could have been an inside job. According to a new report at The Nation, forensic experts and former national security advisers have quietly gathered over the last several months to examine the breach and they have determined the DNC email hack heard...

A federal prosecutor in Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s Florida district committed suicide by shooting himself in the head according to the official verdict by police – however they also confirm that no gun was found, raising the question of how he could have shot himself in the head.

Phil Mudd, who worked for the CIA and the FBI when Robert Mueller was the director, on Thursday told CNN host Jake Tapper that "the government is going to kill" President Donald Trump "because he doesn't support them." "Let me give you one bottom line as a former government official," Mudd began. "The government is going to kill this guy." "[Trump] defends Vladimir Putin, their State Department, and CIA officers are coming home. And at Langley and in Foggy Bottom (State Dept headquarters), CIA and State they're saying, this is how you defend us? We saw the same thing in...
