Keeps on Telling — What Is It Saying? Photo credit: US Government Printing Office / Wikimedia and The White House / JFK Library Researchers are now analyzing newly released documents concerning the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, but many extraordinary facts have been in plain sight for decades — and yet unseen. This report concerns one of those facts, and how, to this day, the story around it is being concealed.The Tell-Tale Brain . Within minutes of Kennedy’s murder, witnesses were pointing at areas where they said they heard shots — and many pointed to a place in front...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Guess whose fault that is? – Self-styled media “watchdog” organization Reporters Without Borders says that hostility towards journalists is rising across the globe. The liberal “watchdog” naturally attempts to lay the blame for this trend – if indeed it is a trend – at the feet of U.S. President Donald Trump, who it claims has incited the public against the dead journalistic profession, and restricted reporters’ access to his administration. This of course is the very same Donald Trump who has held more face-to-face press availabilities during his first 16 months in...

"269. The FBI, OSP and other defendants have publicly defended the deliberate ambush and murder of LaVoy Finicum on January 26, 2016, by alleging that after he exited the vehicle, and after he had been shot with at least five lethal rounds (as well as unknown number of non-lethal rounds), and after he had repeatedly placed his hands on top of his head in a surrender position; that he appeared to be reaching into his jacket." Amended lawsuit of LaVoy Finicum's family 4/24/2018 The pretrial release of grand jury testimony in the case of FBI agent W. Joseph Astarita, charged...

The inner circle of James Comey and Andrew McCabe on the 7th Floor of FBI HQ has flipped, according to high level Justice Department officials. The once-loyal cabal of FBI brass and leaders who reigned during the FBI tenures of Comey and McCabe have been testifying against their former bosses, DOJ sources confirm. For now at least that cooperation involves cooperation with the Inspector General. Soon, that would likely extend to grand juries, according to sources. In law enforcement circles, these players are referred to as Rats, cops who implicate other cops to save their jobs and pensions. So who...

"This is a memo that was sent to President Trump on December 19 2017 and this memo was is what is currently being discussed and represents one of the greatest examples of government betrayal in the history of the United States. This is the intelligence which defined the illegal activity by the Department of Justice by the FBI under Hillary Clinton, Robert Mueller, James Comey, Peter struck, Andrew McCabe Jenny Rhee and a variety of other people that were involved in a coup d’etat against President Trump. So this memo was sent out on December 19th and it originated actually...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this Winning yet? – President and First Lady Melania Trump hosted their first formal state dinner in honor of French President Emmanuel Macron last night, and it was by all accounts a rousing success. Even better, not one single, solitary Washington, DC-based Democrat was invited to attend, a fact that the fake reporters and fake anchors at CNN whined about endlessly. The lone Democrat in attendance was the execrable Governor of Louisiana, John Bel Edwards, I guess because of that whole Louisiana Purchase thing. Governor Edwards, a trial lawyer...

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is mulling job offers from at least one mainstream media network television news team and two law firms who would hire the embattled public servant as a partner, according to sources in the Justice Department. The problem is Rosenstein still employed by the Justice Department. Perhaps not for long. But he might be looking for a way to parachute out before he is fired by President Trump. Or have a landing pad in case he is fired. NBC News has discussed a position with Rosenstein as an on-air pundit and analyst, sources said. And a...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Ok, lessee here, busy day yesterday…. Law enforcement officials caught the naked Waffle House shooter, and fortunately he had his pants on when they took him into custody. What a strange, odd story that one is. Another royal baby was born in London, and once again I can only marvel at how many Americans actually give a damn. I don’t. Poppy Bush is in the ICU at Houston Methodist hospital with a blood infection, just a few days after his wife Barbara was laid to rest. One can only imagine the stress...

So, here’s how our fake national news media justifies what it does: - Devin Nunes, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday that the Obama Administration’s fake “counterintelligence” investigation into the Trump campaign was started in early 2016 “with no official intelligence” as its basis. - Other than Fox and a handful of conservative news outlets, no media outlet has reported this incredible, bombshell news, which means that the investigation was illegal from the outset. - The fake news media outlets refusing to cover this story claim that it’s all Nunes’ fault, because...

Fired for “lack of candor,” former deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe is set to sue the Trump administration for “wrongful termination.” Michael Bromwich, McCabe’s lawyer, cited former FBI Director James Comey’s book—A Hired Loyalty—as confirmation that “my client getting fired for lying contradicts the Agency’s ethical standards so clearly laid out by Mr. Comey.” In his book and interviews since its publication, Comey has admitted “lying when circumstances require it. Everyone in the DOJ has lied when necessary to nail a criminal for which we lacked the evidence to prosecute or to protect confidential sources. Take current Special Counsel Bob...

Mainstream media organizations in Oregon have obtained transcripts of the grand jury testimony that led to charges against FBI agent W. Joseph Astarita for lying about shots he fired just before Oregon State Police troopers killed LaVoy Finicum on January 26, 2016. It turns out that the FBI sent out its own Shooting Incident Review Team in February 2016 that was unable to determine if Astarita or the other FBI agents at the scene fired any shots. But the Oregon shooting team led by the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office along with the Department of Justice's Office of Inspector General and...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Today is Earth Day, and it is the perfect time to celebrate the natural resources like oil, natural gas and coal, which are gifts to humanity from Mother Earth herself. These indispensable drivers of modern society will no doubt be demonized today amid all the frightful doom and gloom predictions that will be launched by environmental activists and repeated by various media outlets. All the vitriol directed at these fossil fuels by the environmental community notwithstanding, it is a simple fact that our prosperous, modern, energy-hungry society was made possible by the...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Hey, let’s do that with Obamacare, too! – Chuckie Schumer announced on Friday that he’s introducing a bill that would essentially rescind federal marijuana laws because, he claims, he is such a huge believer in the concept of federalism that he thinks we should just let the states decide on whether pot should be legal or not. This marks the first issue in his long political career on which the old collectivist expressed a fealty to federalism. Talking Points Parrot for Senate! – Just minutes after Schumer had held his press conference,...

Unsatisfied with the lack of results from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's year-long investigation of Trump-Russia collusion to steal the 2016 presidential election from Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee filed a lawsuit demanding billions of dollars in damages and a "rectification" of the election results. In addition to Trump, the suit also named Russia and Wikileaks as co-conspirators in what DNC Chairman Tom Perez called "an act of unimaginable treachery." While not part of the suit, per se, Perez expressed "our profound disappointment with the actions of our government. We counted on them to prevent the election of Trump as...

The Evening Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) About that DNC lawsuit…don’t expect anything to really come of it. In fact, you should expect it to occupy most of the fake news media attention over this weekend, quickly fade from view starting on Monday, and be withdrawn entirely within a few weeks. The DNC did not make a legal move today by filing that lawsuit, it made a political move. Democrats were getting crushed by the back-firing of the James Comey teen angst tour, the IG’s criminal referral on Andrew McCabe, and the news that the IG had opened...

Despite the lack of media coverage, evidence of election fraud continues to mount. This week, The Heritage Foundation added 26 new entries to its election fraud database, bringing the searchable ledger to a total of 1,132 proven instances of election fraud. That includes 983 cases that ended in a criminal conviction, 48 that led to civil penalties, 79 where defendants were enrolled in a diversion program, and 22 cases of official or judicial findings of fraud. Americans should be alarmed. These entries represent irrefutable evidence that fraud has impacted elections in 47 states, and across all levels of government. Worse...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Thursday was like last Friday, another one of those 5 news cycle days… – Congressional criminal referrals against McCabe, Comey, Lynch and the Pantsuit Princess; – The James Comey teen angst tour continues; – The DOJ Inspector General issues a criminal referral on McCabe; – Trump hires Rudy Giuliani to “help negotiate an end to the Mueller investigation,” according to Rudy; – DOJ releases the vaunted “Comey memos” to congress, they immediately leak to the press. ..and that all happened by 5:15 Eastern Time. Holy cow. The Campaign Update covered both the...

Peter Hitchens has weighed in with some reflections on the Syrian situation following the alleged 'chemical attack' and the limited military action that followed it. "The following story appeared in the Mail on 15th April: 'A FORMER head of Britain's Special Forces has challenged Theresa May's claim that President Assad was behind the chemical attack in Douma. 'Major General Jonathan Shaw said: "Why would Assad use chemical weapons at this time? He's won the war. That's not just my opinion, it is shared by senior commanders in the US military. There is no rationale behind Assad's involvement whatsoever." Hitchens also...

Ammon Bundy is a featured speaker at the "Range Rights and Resource Symposium: Farmers Feed The World" being held Friday and Saturday in Modesto, California. Organizers of the event say "We're taking a look at the issues which impact Americans from our food, our water to government overreach. Meanwhile his brother Ryan Bundy, who's running as an independent candidate for Governor of Nevada, speaks Friday evening at the "Patch of Heaven" religious camp in Amargosa Valley, Nevada. The US Fish and Wildlife Service diverted a stream away from the private land and is threatening the future of the camp. The...
