Bombshell testimony released this week revealed that Hillary Clinton received what amounts to a secret pre-pardon to avoid the possibility that she would be charged under the Espionage Act for her gross negligence in the handling and dissemination of classified material. According to the newly disclosed testimony of former FBI official Lisa Page, the Obama Justice Department instructed the FBI not to pursue charges against Clinton Page said in her testimony that the FBI held “multiple conversations” with the Obama Department of Justice about charging Clinton with gross negligence, but the Bureau was told that such a charge would not...

Facebook is suffering the most severe outage in its history, with key services rendered unusable for users globally for much of Wednesday. The last time Facebook had a disruption of this magnitude was in 2008, when the site had 150m users - compared to around 2.3bn monthly users today. Facebook's main product, its two messaging apps and image-sharing site Instagram were all affected. The cause of the interruption has not yet been made public. "We're aware that some people are currently having trouble accessing the Facebook family of apps," Facebook said in a statement. "We're working to resolve the issue...

Foxx’s call to Johnson came after an influential supporter of the “Empire” actor reached out to Foxx personally: Tina Tchen, a Chicago attorney and former chief of staff for former First Lady Michelle Obama, according to emails and text messages provided by Foxx to the Chicago Sun-Times in response to a public records request. In an interview with the Sun-Times this week, Foxx said that the family member expressed concerns about leaked information about the investigation — information that media outlets attributed to “police sources.” “They had no doubt about the quality of the investigation, but believed that the FBI...

One of the co-founders of Greenpeace on Tuesday rejected the climate alarmism of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other Democrats, and accused them of proposing a "silly" plan to solve it. Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., has offered the Green New Deal to reshape the U.S. economy into a green economy. But Patrick Moore, one of the original founders of Greenpeace, called her expensive plan "silly" and repeated his claim that she is a "pompous little twit." "It's a silly plan. That's why I suggested she was a pompous little twit. Twit meaning silly in the British lexicon and pompous meaning arrogant," he said...

After being approached by a politically connected lawyer, State’s Attorney Kimberly Foxx asked Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson to turn over the investigation of Jussie Smollett’s reported attack to the FBI, according to communications provided to the Tribune. Foxx reached out to Johnson after Tina Tchen, former chief of staff to first lady Michelle Obama, texted Foxx saying the actor’s family had unspecified “concerns about the investigation.” Tchen, a close friend of Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s wife, said she was acting on behalf of the “Empire” actor and his family.

<p>But in the coming months, he [Sykes] tells me, The Bulwark will home in on a specific class of “grifters and trolls” — those opportunistic Trump enablers who still get invited on Meet the Press and write for prestigious newspapers. To Sykes, these are the true sellouts, and he wants to ensure that their public flirtations with Trumpism leave a stench on them.</p>

The Senate broke with President Trump on Wednesday over the Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen, paving the way for a veto showdown with the White House. Senators voted 54-46 to pass a resolution requiring the president to withdraw any troops in or "affecting" Yemen within 30 days unless they are fighting al Qaeda. GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Steve Daines (Mont.), Mike Lee (Utah), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Jerry Moran (Kan.), Rand Paul (Ky.) and Todd Young (Ind.) voted with Democrats on the resolution. The chamber first passed the resolution in December, but it did not pass the GOP-controlled House before...

Print this article State Department officials compared China to Nazi Germany on Wednesday, saying the Communist nation "is in a league of its own when it comes to human rights violations." "China intensified its campaign of detaining Muslim minority groups at record levels" last year, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a briefing on the release of the 2018 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices. China has been brutally repressing Uighurs and other Muslims, forcing them into re-education camps reminiscent of Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution. The regime has made a police state of the minorities' home of Xinjiang, a...

According to the far-left outlet’s own fact sheet, CNN is currently available in 90 million households. This means 90 million people pay money to CNN every month even though fewer than one million on average actually watch CNN. The game is rigged, folks. And it is especially rigged against those normal Americans who on a daily basis are bullied, taunted, discriminated against, demonized, threatened, and menaced by CNN. You see, it works like this… Even if you don’t watch CNN, you are still forced to pay for CNN. It is called a carriage fee, and every month you subsidize this...

There was a Media Matters protest outside Fox News today that included a former Obama spokesperson and a former Obama speechwriter. The Brock-Podesta-Soros Media Matters pawns itself off as a nonprofit and we subsidize them. They are clearly nothing more than a Fox and Republican attack machine. They are an arm of the far-left Democrat Party. Tucker addressed that illegality last night on his show. On the podcast “Pod Save America,” former Obama spokesperson Tommy Vietor, as well as former Obama speechwriters Jon Favreau and Jon Lovett, encouraged listeners to attend the protest. “They’re having a protest outside of Fox...

Last week, Bloomberg reported that the Trump administration is drawing up demands for Germany and Japan — and eventually other countries — to pay for the costs of hosting U.S. troops in their countries, plus an additional 50% or more. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who sits on the Armed Services Committee and is the head of the House Republican Conference, criticized the Trump administration's move, calling it “absolutely devastating.” “We benefit tremendously” by stationing soldiers in South Korea, Japan, Germany and other countries, Cheney said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “The notion that we are now going to...

[Catholic Caucus] Seminary Board Blasts Cupich for Lack of Transparency Board Letter: 'While talk about transparency and accountability is a noble goal, here there was neither' CHICAGO (ChurchMilitant.com) - The advisory board of St. Joseph College Seminary is advocating to keep the undergraduate seminary open. In January, Cdl. Blase Cupich, the archbishop of Chicago, shocked Chicagoans by announcing he was closing the newly renovated St. Joseph College Seminary on the campus of Loyola University. Cupich cited the low enrollment numbers as the cause and said seminarians wishing to continue their studies could transfer to St. John Vianney College Seminary at the University of...

My buddy brought this to my attention. He told me this was the foreshadowing of AOC from Saturday Night Live six years ago. As my buddy said to me- its more than ironic SNL continue to bash President Trump yet don't resurrect this character.

It's well known that emergency medical care can be shockingly expensive, but one Los Gatos clinic took things criminally far with a string of fraudulent bills, prosecutors said Wednesday.

President Donald Trump and his allies weren't shy about using the specter of impeachment during the 2018 midterm campaign to rally the President's core supporters to the polls. And for their 2020 campaign, they were prepared to use the real thing. With House Democrats newly in the majority and the prospects of impeachment surging, Trump and his political allies -- while certainly not hankering for it -- have eyed the potential political upside: using a Democratic impeachment as a powerful foil to galvanize Republicans in droves to re-elect Trump. Several of the President's political advisers, preparing for a re-election campaign...

Remember kids… Vice President Mike Pence is not a decent human being. And when you find such an unacceptable cullion hanging around your workplace, what do you do? You give him (or her) the boot. That’s precisely what Speaker Nancy Pelosi has done, kicking the Veep out of his office at the House and taking the space back for herself. (NPR)
