The Justice Department inspector general's report shows ex-FBI Director James Comey is to blame for the country having to deal with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, according to Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. Comey also proved there are two sets of rules -- one for bureaucrats and one for the American people, Jordan claimed Thursday on Fox News Radio's "The Todd Starnes Show." "Comey broke the rules, plain and simple," the lawmaker said. "It sort of gets to this thing we've talked about before -- Americans are so sick of the double standard -- one set of rules for you and...

Rep. Ilhan Omar is demanding that the United Nations take control of the U.S. border with Mexico in a mirror of how Europe was inundated with migrants following lobbying from international bodies. “We should do what any other country does by dealing with this situation in a serious way,” Omar said during an immigration forum in south Minneapolis. “So, we have to bring in the United Nations high commissioner on refugees, an agency that has the expertise and the training to handle massive flows of refugees humanely.” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) says the *United Nations* must be brought in to...

Investigative journalist David Daleiden said Kamala Harris is “the greatest threat to civil rights” that Americans have seen in generations. Speaking Tuesday on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight, Daleiden described Harris’s biased prosecution of him after he exposed Planned Parenthood’s potentially illegal sales of aborted baby body parts. Harris, a pro-abortion Democratic senator from California, is running for president of the United States. Just a few years ago, Daleiden said she abused her role as state attorney general to prosecute him for exposing the billion-dollar abortion “nonprofit.” “I think that Kamala Harris is the greatest threat to civil rights and the...

Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein took an apparent shot at former FBI Director James Comey on Twitter Thursday and derided commentators from CNN and MSNBC following the release of the Justice Department inspector general's report. While Rosenstein didn't explicitly mention Comey, his initial tweet quoted a letter in which he cautioned against violating Justice Department policy because of short-term circumstances. "It is important for the Department of Justice to follow established policies and procedures, especially when the stakes are high," Rosenstein wrote. In the preceding paragraph, he mentioned that Comey seemed to argue that circumstances justified both his disclosures...

An illegal alien’s class-action lawsuit, in which he claimed a Virginia sheriff violated his constitutional rights by detaining him at the request of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has been thrown out by a federal judge. The law enforcement officer who was sued, Culpeper County, Virginia, Sheriff Scott Jenkins, told The Epoch Times that he’s satisfied with the legal outcome. “I am pleased that this lawsuit seeking preferential treatment for criminal illegal aliens within our justice system has been dismissed,” Jenkins said. “This judge confirmed what people with common sense have known all along—my actions as sheriff, in cooperating...

Less than a month after Democrats across the country boycotted gyms and other companies owned by billionaire Trump fundraiser Stephen Ross, 10 Democratic presidential hopefuls will take the stage at one of Ross’ flagship developments for a forum on the climate crisis. Ross raised $12 million for President Donald Trump, a climate crisis denier, at his $100,000-a-plate Hamptons event earlier this month. News of the elite conservative gathering prompted Democratic leaders, celebrities and everyday voters to announce they were boycotting Ross’ Equinox gym — but not, it seems, the new multibillion-dollar Hudson Yards skyscraper complex owned by Ross’ development firm,...

A new report out of Austin Community College Thursday predicts 16 to 17% of Texas voters in November 2020 will not fill out their entire ballot. It’s a side effect of 2017’s House Bill 25 which repealed straight-ticket voting in the state. The measure used to automatically select all members of a certain political party on a given ballot. This will impact older people and people of color the most, according to the report. The analysis came out of ACC’s Center for Public Policy and Political Studies. Peck Young heads the center and says voters will just get tired around...

The 2020 presidential election is more than a year away, but candidates are zig-zagging the country to line up support, both in terms of votes and contributions. Currently, Sen. Bernie Sanders is leading the Democrats in fundraising. And so far, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, former Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton, California Rep. Eric Swalwell, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee have dropped out of the 2020 election race, despite raising amounts that range from $1.94 million (Moulton) to almost $14.9 million (Gillibrand). Still, many candidates remain in the field, including President Donald Trump and one recent convert to...

The Justice Department watchdog unveiled a report Thursday rebuking former FBI director James Comey over his handling of memos detailing his conversations with President Trump, saying he violated FBI policies. The report from DOJ Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz rebutted Comey’s claims that the memos were merely personal recollections, not official FBI records, and sharply criticized the former FBI chief for mishandling sensitive information. While highly critical of Comey’s actions, the inspector general did not make recommendations on whether the former top government official should face any charges, and Attorney General William Barr has declined to prosecute him. The watchdog...

After the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles tried to make a woman turn in her potty-humored vanity license plates, New Hampshire governor Chris Sununu stepped in to personally overturn the decision and let her keep it. Wendy Auger, a bartender in Rochester, has had plates reading "PB4UGO" for 15 years. But last week, she received a recall notice from the DMV, ordering her exchange them for a standard license plate or another vanity plate.

Political discourse continues to be a discordant contest between haters and admirers of President Trump. But meanwhile, there has been substantial progress toward an improved strategic environment for the United States and the West. Ever since Pearl Harbor, FDR produced the blueprint for all subsequent American strategic policy. In his war message he said: “We will make very certain that this form of treachery never again endangers us.” The United States must not appease its mortal enemies and must always retain the military power to deter a direct attack on it. All 13 of the presidents who have followed FDR...
