Andrea Parker speaks at :42)....jury question, question for Special Agent Willis, once again this is the special agent in charge of the whole case. He sits in the courtroom and then goes up to testify. He's been there the entire time..... Andrea Parker at 1:02)...Did the gap given with the flyover have an effect on your timeline? Once again this gentleman is taking pictures off the internet, pictures off of media sources and giving them a time based on other pictures, media, metadata and the flyover. He says 'No' it only affected when the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) was...

So this morning, watching ABC/MSNBC/CNN (8-2-17) only because it is what the commie gym manager has on, they are touting, “Trump’s history of trashing the GOP”...and some loser (R) Congressman, “Dent”, Pennsylvania...doesn’t matter who, just some loser anti-Trump goober who should be caned, like in Singapore. After watching this, I have a theory. I believe the R’s really want to be in the minority - and notice in the majority, they act the part anyway. Some time between now and November 2018, several R’s will somehow retire for “more time with their family”...Soros will have paid them off enough to...

1776: Although the Continental Congress voted to establish "the thirteen united [sic] States of America" on July 2 and adopted Thomas Jefferson's draft of the Declaration of Independence two days later, congressional delegates sign the Declaration on this date. The most famous inscription belongs to John Hancock, the president of Congress, who is said to have declared, "There, I guess King George will be able to read that without his spectacles," after adding his rather substantial signature. 1909: After a successful demonstration for the military by Orville Wright, the Army Signal Corps purchases a Wright Flyer for $30,000 (the equivalent...

Environmentalist and film producer Al Gore claimed “drought stricken refugees” are causing political unrest in Europe during a CNN town hall Tuesday night with Anderson Cooper. “The number of people that are becoming climate refugees already is beginning to create some political unrest and challenge to the governance of some countries that have a tough time, even in the best of seasons,” Gore said. “These refugees from the drought stricken areas, also climate refugees, are beginning to create instability in parts of Europe and this is just the beginning.” This line of reasoning isn’t new for Gore. He has previously...

Bipartisanship is suddenly the talk of Capitol Hill, where Republicans and Democrats are now expressing a tentative desire to join hands after a brutal debate over Obamacare repeal... ....Republican and Democratic leaders on the health committee announced in a joint statement that they would hold hearings early next month on how to calm Obamacare’s tumultuous insurance markets.

Is the eclipse throwing shade at Clinton supporters? The path of ideal viewing spots for this month’s highly-anticipated total solar eclipse cuts overwhelmingly through places that voted for President Trump in November.

One in four terminally ill people who need expert end-of-life care are not receiving it because of funding pressures, the hospice movement has told Sky News. Hospice UK said as many as 118,000 people in the UK with terminal or life-limiting conditions are not able to access palliative care from its members. On average, hospices most of which are charities, receive just one-third of their funding from the NHS and rely on donations, shops, bequests and investments for the rest. Hospice UK said two-thirds of hospices had their NHS funding cut or frozen last year. It argues that with more...

Remember President Trump's "terrible" budget cuts? "Promises Little but Pain," warned The New York Times. "Harsh and shortsighted," cried The Washington Post. Then Congress passed a budget. President Trump signed it. Do you notice the "pain"? I follow the news closely, but until I researched this column, I didn't know that Congress actually raised spending on the very agencies Trump wanted to cut. Trump called for a $4.7 billion dollar cut to the Agriculture Department. Congress increased the department's appropriation by $12.8 billion. He called for a $15 billion cut to Health and Human Services. Congress instead gave them...

Former Obama White House National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes is now emerging as a person of interest in the House Intelligence Committee’s unmasking investigation, according to a letter sent Tuesday by the committee to the National Security Agency (NSA). This adds Rhodes to the growing list of top Obama government officials who may have improperly unmasked Americans in communications intercepted overseas by the NSA, Circa has confirmed. The House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-CA, sent the letter to the National Security Agency requesting the number of unmaskings made by Rhodes from Jan. 1, 2016 to Jan. 20, 2017, according...

He disses the whole party, not just Trump. We now have the House/Senate and the WH. All he can do is tell us what we are doing wrong. Expect a lot more as he's now peddling a book. See if the folks at CNN/MSNBC question if he intends to run again. A political martyr becomes an instant favorite. Chavetzz is the same.

German Shepherds are living and dying in misery due to intensive breeding for “cosmetic” reasons, a major new report by the Royal Veterinary College has found. A survey of data collected from 430 clinics across the UK reveals arthritis, cancer, aggression and sloping backs are afflicting the breed at higher rates than others due to aggressive selection. Nearly one in two German Shepherds is being put down because they are unable to walk, experts said.

A big story broke in the last 24 hours. This story it has far greater implications than anything else the left-wing pundits are talking about, but you won’t hear about it from the mainstream media. It goes straight to the question of whether Barack Obama weaponized America’s intelligence agencies against Congress and perhaps even the Supreme Court. The story revolves around the Obama administration’s monitoring of conversations by his political opponents combined with strategic “unmasking” of individuals and leaking of those conversations to damage his political opposition. Just to refresh your memory, “unmasking” is Washington jargon that refers to the...

The body of a missing Jewish woman from the Binyamin District of the West Bank was found by police last week after her Arab boyfriend confessed to strangling her and bashing her head with rocks in Holon to “release Palestinian prisoners.” Police first received a report that Michal Halimi, 29, who was pregnant and married to another man, was missing at the end of May and launched an investigation to find her. A gag order, lifted Wednesday, was implemented for the duration of the search.

Trump – DON’T FORGET HOW YOU GOT ELECTED An article I read said that the republicans are opposing Trump. that they passed a veto proof sanction bill vs Russia, that they work for the people and not the president. They have ignored his tweets to stay in session, to lower the vote to 51 instead of 60 etc. The author said there was no moment in time when the split occurred and that the split occurred gradually. With this last statement, I totally disagree. Apparently, the author was no in class when the never Trumpers were making their presentation. Is...

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. – Sara Carter at Circa News, one of the handful of real working journalists still active in the nation’s capital, reports that former Obama National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes has been added to the House Intelligence Committee’s growing list of suspects in the illegal unmasking investigation. Rhodes joins the mugshot lineup that already includes Obama-era luminaries like Samantha Power, John Brennan and Susan Rice. You may remember Rhodes, who is most famous for openly admitting to an interviewer that the Obama Administration and fake news media regularly coordinated narratives and messages. My God, dude,...

DISCLAIMER: “The Rabbit Hole Report” is a recurring feature of MOTUS A.D.. In certain circles it may be considered fake news but I prefer to think of it as extra-creative investigative journalism. Premised on the conceit that Donald J. Trump actually lost the 2016 election to Hillary Rodham Clinton, it is hoped that this alternate reality will provide temporary succor and comfort to #Democrats, #Progressives, #BernieBros, #RINOs and #NeverTrumpers. As for the rest of us who just want to #MAGA let it serve as a reminder that the fight is, was and always will be worth it because no...

By grace, God offers the righteousness of Christ to all who put their trust in Him. For all who believe, all who have faith in Him, the merit of Christ is reckoned to their account. Does this exclude good works in the life of the believer? By no means. Our justification is always unto good works. Though no merit ever proceeds from our works, either those done before our conversion or those done afterward, good works are a necessary fruit of true faith. “Necessary fruit?” Yes, necessary. Good works are not necessary for us to earn our justification. They are...

Al Gore was challenged on climate science Tuesday night when the mayor of Tangier Island, a community threatened by coastal erosion, told the environmentalist film producer he hadn’t seen the sea level change since he began his first career as a commercial crabber in 1970. Gore was taking questions from the audience on a CNN town hall with Anderson Cooper when the fisherman and Tangier Island mayor James Eskridge refuted Gore’s assertion that rising sea levels were endangering coastal communities. “I’m a commercial crabber and I’ve been working the Chesapeake Bay for 50+ years. I have a crab house business...

Calexit leader Shankar Singam appeared on Tuesday's broadcast of Tucker Carlson Tonight to promote the secession of California from the union. Singam said California doesn't have much in common with the rest of the country. He declared, "This is California. We're not the United States." The Calexit proponent also said it is a "good thing" that the middle class is fleeing the state because it will make room for the "new wave" of immigrants. Singam told Carlson that "the United States" should be thanking "us" for "exporting" the state's middle class to the rest of the country. "If everyone in...

A federal appeals court issued a ruling Tuesday that could help preserve a key subsidy that helps health insurers and millions of Americans under the Affordable Care Act. The ruling could make it more difficult for the White House to carry out recent threats by President Donald Trump to cut off the payments, giving legal standing to a new set of the payments' defenders.
