Special Counsel Robert Mueller is leading one of the biggest witch hunts in American political history. According to a new report by VOX, the witch hunt just got worse, as Mueller has notified former FBI Head James Comey and former Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe that they should be prepared to testify against President Trump. VOX reports: Shortly after the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller in May, Acting Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe told several of the highest-ranking managers of the bureau they should consider themselves possible witnesses in any investigation into whether President Donald Trump engaged in...

OAN Newsroom The Trump administration is allowing customs officers to screen all cargo trucks coming into the U.S. in an effort to crack down on Mexican drug cartels. Under the Obama administration agents would only conduct random inspections allowing cartels to run their concealed loads through the border, but border security forces will now use technology to screen every cargo truck. According to the Department of Transportation about 471,000 trucks pass through the U.S.-Mexico border on a monthly basis. Officials say cartels often use other routes to transport drugs, but their preferred method is driving through a port of entry.

Two U.S. service members were killed Wednesday in a suicide car bomb attack on a NATO convoy near Kandahar in southwestern Afghanistan, Pentagon officials said. Several other troops were wounded in the attack, but the number of wounded and their nationalities were not immediately disclosed. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack near the airfield on the outskirts of Kandahar, the group's spiritual birthplace.

Here's an aftermarket trigger that doesn’t suck and actually shows some innovation. With all the customizing of AR’s , using a shorter barrel would need to also shorten the gas system to allow it to operate correctly. Operating at this level the bolt carrier system picks up speed. Which winds up beating up the firing component. The fire control components takes a huge beating, specifically the disconnector. After four thousand rounds the pin shears and disconnecter failure occurs. This is the reason manufacturers comes out with trigger system to solve this problem and here's one to consider. KE Arms trigger...

Quebec Immigration Minister Kathleen Weil will be among the officials giving an update on the influx of new asylum seekers making their way into the province this morning. She will be joined by Public Health Minister Lucie Charlebois and local MPs Marc Miller and Emmanuel Dubourg for a news conference in Montreal on the provincial and federal governments' next steps in dealing with the issue. Montreal's Olympic Stadium was made into a shelter to temporarily house the asylum seekers Wednesday. Weil has said it's believed 70 per cent are Haitian, who may be leaving the U.S. in fear they'll be...

Hoeven 67%. Rounds 71%(Dakotas). Alexander(TN.) 72%. Murkowski, Capito 60-66%-Red state in drag. Rubio, Sasse and even Flake do quite well, scoring in the 90's. Is this the best indicator? I can live with Collins in Maine at 44%. Maybe the others aren't so bad. Dakota ex-governors are unsatisfactory but perhaps acceptable at tax-voting time. Should we hold our fire when one strays on an issue or 2? Murkowski and Capito shouldn't be Senators but who's going to stand up to them? Perhaps we should best count on retirements(Hatch,Alexander) or even job offers in the executive branch. Save our ammo for...

President Donald Trump is in need of some political wins. Congress is stuck in procedure and partisanship, with no real hope for an end in sight, so the odds for legislative victories are long…at least right now. But like everywhere else in life, people love a winner, and a few victories, even small ones, can go a long way toward rallying more people (and more Congressional support) toward his legislative goals.The office of the President is unique in the world, in that it matters very little what its occupant does - people want to see their president doing “something.” President...

Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the senior director for intelligence on the National Security Council, has been dismissed from the White House, two senior administration officials who are not authorized to discuss personnel matters told Conservative Review on Wednesday. Cohen-Watnick, 31, was originally brought on board by former NSC chief Gen. Michael Flynn. National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster has, in the past, attempted to rid the council of Cohen-Watnick, but was overruled by President Trump, Steve Bannon, and Jared Kushner. He has been described as an “Iran hawk” who wanted to revamp counter-Iran efforts in the Middle East, and sought to reform the...

"I show you a still more excellent way" (1 Cor. 12:31). Biblical love is characterized by humility, obedience to God, and self-sacrifice. In our society, love is a common word but an uncommon experience. Often those who use the word most understand it least. Many who think they've found love have really settled for something far less than God intended for them. For many, love means a romantic or sexual relationship. While Scripture has much to say about intimacy within marriage, the word love takes on a different meaning in the New Testament. Even Ephesians 5:25 ("Husbands, love your wives")...

“For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10). There are specific indicators that warn us if we are loving money. Today’s verse is a classic reference and contains the overarching scriptural principle concerning our attitude toward money. In referring to the love of money, Paul is essentially talking about the sin of greed. That sin is a serious offense in God’s eyes, which means we ought to desire with all our hearts to have victory over it. And we can begin to achieve such victory by recognizing the major warning signs of...

With national pride flying as high as one of its recent intercontinental ballistic missile tests, North Korea threatened the United States -- again -- on Thursday, warning with typical hyperbolic abandon that the rogue regime would soon send "unexpected 'gift packages," claiming America is "on the knife's edge of life and death" and slamming the Trump administration.

The jihad against the freedom of speech is advancing rapidly, and most people don’t even know it’s happening.Turkey’s state-run news outlet Anadolu Agency reports: Google’s first page results for searches of terms such as “jihad”, “shariah” and “taqiyya” now return mostly reputable explanations of the Islamic concepts. Taqiyya, which describes the circumstances under which a Muslim can conceal their belief in the face of persecution, is the sole term to feature a questionable website on the first page of results. (emphasis added) “Reputable” according to whom? “Questionable” according to whom?Google has bowed to pressure from Muslims such as Texas imam...

ALBANY, NY — (8/2/17)...Personal information about all New York voters will be released to President Donald Trump's controversial "election integrity" commission, the state Board of Elections announced Wednesday, despite promises from New York Gov.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem The Ark of the Covenant, The Tabernacle, and The Temple 1 Samuel 1 The Birth of Samuel 1 There was a certain man from Ramathaim, a Zuphite[a] from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. 2 He had two wives; one was called Hannah and the other Peninnah.

Yesterday, we noted the left’s freak-out over the news that the Justice Department will be investigating race-based discrimination in college and university admissions. The freak-out was on full display on Andrea Mitchell’s MSNBC show yesterday. You knew the fix was in from Mitchell’s choice as guests of two critics of the initiative: the Washington Post‘s Jonathan Capehart, and Janai Nelson of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. The most outrageous moments came when Mitchell said: “I don’t know if there are cases, even” of white students being disadvantaged by minority students taking available slots. View the video here.

A group of international Islamist organizations led by the Saudi-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation, or OIC, recently held a two-day conference on countering “Islamophobia” in which it recommends imposing Islamic blasphemy laws on the media worldwide. Under Islamic law, it is considered a serious offense to criticize Allah, Muhammad or Islam. In countries like Pakistan, a Muslim can take a non-Muslim to court and claim he was “offended” by something that was said, resulting in a trial and jail time, even death, for the non-Muslim. But the OIC, which consists of 57 Muslim-majority countries and boasts the largest voting bloc...

Andrew Breitbart famously said, “Politics is downstream of culture,” and while establishment Republicans seem unwilling to defend America’s culture and values on many fronts, President Donald Trump is already changing the country’s politics by taking back its culture from progressives. Here’s how he is doing it: [I'm just posting the bullet items] 1. Trump announces ban on transgenders in military: 2. Trump reinstates and expands the “Mexico City Policy”: 3. Trump signs executive order that he intends to “vigorously enforce Federal law’s robust protections for religious freedom”: 4. Trump signs resolution overturning Obama’s Planned Parenthood state funding mandate: 5. Trump’s...

When DCs’ Legends of Tomorrow returns for a third season on The CW later this year, a new superhero will enter the fold in the form of a Muslim computer hacker from the future: Zari Adrianna Tomaz, who will be played by Tala Ashe.... Legends executive producer Marc Guggenheim spoke about the casting and referenced the 2016 Presidential election, Donald Trump’s presidency and the policies that ultimately established restrictions on travel to the United States from six predominantly Muslim countries. “You might have heard there was this election,” Guggenheim explained. “Not to get political, but something that we all gravitated...

I welcome input and thoughts. Trump seems to be facing opposition from DemonRats as well as sleaze like Flake and Heller... his reasonable immigration proposal apparently already has IDIOT Republicans speaking against it. RINOs are determined NOT to let Trump have a victory. So, perhaps Trump should govern as best he can with his pen and in the meantime begin to campaign against both Republican and DemonRats up for re-election next year. He has ample proof that more pro-Trump legislators are what is needed. Miserable liars like Heller, McCain, Murkowski, Collins, and of course EVERY DemonRat are stopping us from...
