Hearing that Trump has authorized the release.

How many of you recall back in the summer of 2015, starting on July 15 and ending on September 15 the Obama Administration authorizing the conduct of operation Jade Helm 15 -- For many of us, this was a time when we really questioned the administration and their intentions for conducting such an exercise -- In light of all the abuses of power that we are discovering about the Obama Administration, our concerns appear to be valid. Just how far would Obama have directed the U.S. Military to go? What if hitlery had won, what was obama and hitlery willing...

NEW YORK — Eight months before the company that owns the National Enquirer paid $150,000 to a former Playboy Playmate who claimed she’d had an affair with Donald Trump, the tabloid’s parent made a $30,000 payment to a less famous individual: a former doorman at one of the real estate mogul’s New York City buildings. As it did with the ex-Playmate, the Enquirer signed the ex-doorman to a contract that effectively prevented him from going public with a juicy tale that might hurt Trump’s campaign for president. The payout to the former Playmate, Karen McDougal, stayed a secret until the...

I cannot verify this, but a friend told me something kind of secretive was going on around the University of Miami today...it sounds like a bunch of kids are there to get trained (brainwashed?) regarding the anti-Constitution march this Saturday. I cannot get down to the U. Can anyone verify or deny? My friend said he saw a bunch of people going into something called The Center for the Americas....security guards were wanding people as they went in.

Chris Bushnell is the owner of Cypress Collectibles and patchaddict.com and sent us the following: I am the owner of an embroidered patch company right here in Austin. Today I got a call from eBay saying that I cannot sell our 2nd Amendment patches that have an image of an AR-15 on them. eBay told me on the phone that they will be removing all clothing items this week from eBay that have an AR-15 or any assault rifle on them. That includes my patches, plus hats, t-shirts, and more. If you search eBay today for “AR15” you only get...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt, the conservative former attorney general of Oklahoma, is interested in replacing Attorney General Jeff Sessions if that job becomes available, sources with knowledge of the matter said on Friday. President Donald Trump has openly criticized Sessions for months, provoking speculation that the attorney general might resign or be fired. The EPA chief would likely accept the position if it were offered by Trump, a source close to Pruitt told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity. Jahan Wilcox, an EPA spokesman, in an email denied that Pruitt was interested in serving...

Explosive allegations about Donald Trump made by online writers with large followings among Trump critics were based on bogus information from a hoaxer who falsely claimed to work in law enforcement. Claude Taylor posted tweets reporting fake details of criminal inquiries into Trump that were invented by a source whose claim to work for the New York attorney general was not checked, according to emails seen by the Guardian. The allegations were endorsed as authentic and retweeted by his co-writer Louise Mensch. The source’s false tips included an allegation, which has been aggressively circulated by Mensch and Taylor, that Trump’s...

Hillary to Dump Bill Globe (T/F)? Furious Hillary Clinton has dumped horndog hubby Bill — once and for all — after discovering a hidden love nest atop his presidential library in Little Rock, Ark., where he beds starstruck beauties! Now fed-up Hillary — who lost to Donald Trump in last year’s presidential election — is talking to lawyers and demanding a $350 million divorce settlement, sources say. “Hillary doesn’t need Bill anymore — and his secret, taxpayer-funded sex den was the final humiliation,” says a source. “She confronted Bill and told him: ‘It’s OVER!’ ” President Barack Obama’s former secretary...

Am up in DC from Florida for my old firm's (I'm a retired Senior Partner) "Tennis and Tom Collins" Summer party. About 400 people here. Please understand, as soon as something becomes official or public news in Washington, it is no longer very interesting here. DC is all about rumors and the next day's news. For example, as soon as the stories about Monica became public on that Monday night, ("everyone" here knew the previous Friday) the really interesting stories all revolved around "would he admit it on TV and ask for forgiveness or would Hillary insist on legal ropa-dopa....

Bells Are Ringing! Prince Harry's Shotgun Wedding Prepare a suit for a little guy.

But the rest of the royals — including Harry’s brother William, sister-in-law Kate and father Charles — are against the nuptials! In fact, Charles ordered his youngest son “to come to his senses and buy off the bimbo,” a palace...

After a tumultuous first 75 days in office, there are reports that President Donald Trump is looking at a major shakeup of his inner circle. Mike Allen, reporting at Axios, reported that both Reince Priebus and Steve Bannon may be out. Priebus as chief of staff has been a mistake from the beginning. Any schadenfreude conservatives may feel over this development should be tempered by thoughts of what may come next. The four names reported by Allen are all creatures of the swamp Trump professes to want to drain. With the failure to repeal Obamacare marring the start of Trump’s...

Digital security and its discontents—from Hillary Clinton’s emails to ransomware to Tor hacks—is in many ways one of the chief concerns of the contemporary FBI. So it makes sense that the bureau’s director, James Comey, would dip his toe into the digital torrent with a Twitter account. It also makes sense, given Comey’s high profile, that he would want that Twitter account to be a secret from the world, lest his follows and favs be scrubbed for clues about what the feds are up to. What is somewhat surprising, however, is that it only took me about four hours of...

This is developing! It is more than a rumor as the source is known to me and is credible. I admit I haven't yet validated everything. But I am asking Freepers to help catch any news, social media, credible scuttlebutt on the firing of Comey.

Federal investigators and computer scientists continue to examine whether there was a computer server connection between the Trump Organization and a Russian bank, sources close to the investigation tell CNN. Questions about the possible connection were widely dismissed four months ago. But the FBI's investigation remains open, the sources said, and is in the hands of the FBI's counterintelligence team -- the same one looking into Russia's suspected interference in the 2016 election. One U.S. official said investigators find the server relationship "odd" and are not ignoring it. But the official said there is still more work for the FBI...

According to a transcript obtained by AP of the phone call which took place on Friday morning between President Trump and his Mexican counterpart, Enrique Pena Nieto, and which was intended to patch things up between the new president and his Mexican peer a day after Pena Nieto called off his visit to the US, Trump threatened to send U.S. troops to stop "bad hombres down there" unless the Mexican military does more to control them itself. The excerpt of the call did not make clear who exactly Trump considered "bad hombres," - drug cartels, immigrants, or both - or...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump threatened in a phone call with his Mexican counterpart to send U.S. troops to stop "bad hombres down there" unless the Mexican military does more to control them, according to an excerpt of a transcript of the conversation obtained by The Associated Press. The excerpt of the call did not detail who exactly Trump considered "bad hombres," nor did it make clear the tone and context of the remark, made in a Friday morning phone call between the leaders. It also did not contain Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto's response. Still, the excerpt offers...
