Buzz Paterson, the White House military aide who carried the “nuclear football” information for former President Bill Clinton, said that a member of the intelligence community broke the “circle of trust” by filing a complaint with the Intelligence Community Inspector General about a private phone call President Trump had with a world leader, as well as leaking this information to Congress. According to media reports, the intelligence official had filed a complaint with the ICIG alleging an inappropriate promise made by the president. “I was President Bill Clinton’s Air Force military aide from 1996 to 1999,” Patterson told The Epoch...

Well, well, well… the media cannot say President Trump didn’t try to warn them about throwing fake-news rakes in front of their narrative parade – then wondering why they keep getting black-eyes. Here we go, the details begin to surface. With more reporting by John Solomon, cited and attributed to on-the-record officials in the State Department and Ukraine, a much more clear picture emerges. In reality, and unfortunately as expected, the fulsome picture is 180° divergent from the media narrative. The government of Ukraine under both Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, and now President Volodymyr Zelensky, had been trying to deliver...

Any country that attacks Iran will become the "main battlefield", the Revolutionary Guards warned Saturday after Washington ordered reinforcements to the Gulf following attacks on Saudi oil installations it blames on Tehran. Tensions escalated between arch-foes Iran and the United States after last weekend's attacks on Saudi energy giant Aramco's Abqaiq processing plant and Khurais oilfield halved the kingdom's oil output. Yemen's Huthi rebels have claimed responsibility for the strikes but the US says it has concluded the attacks involved cruise missiles from Iran and amounted to "an act of war". Washington approved the deployment of troops to Saudi Arabia...

CNN)Thirteen Marines have been formally charged with involvement in human smuggling operations, the US Marine Corps announced Friday. The Marines will face military court proceedings for alleged violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, including failure to obey an order, drunkenness, larceny, perjury and transporting and/or conspiring to transport undocumented immigrants.   "Two of the Marines, Lance Cpl. Byron D. Law and Lance Cpl. David J. Salazar-Quintero, both members of 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division ... were arrested by border patrol personnel on July 3, 2019 for allegedly transporting and conspiring to transport undocumented immigrants," the...

An American woman named Bethany Vierra got a masters degree in Middle Eastern studies and a PhD in human rights, moved to Saudi Arabia, was shocked to discover that women didn’t have the same rights as men, and falsely claimed, “The problem here is not Islamic law” Bethany Vierra was born in Washington state.She got a master’s degree in Middle Eastern studies from the American University in Paris.Then she got a PhD in human rights at the National University of Ireland.With such an education, I would think that Vierra would be aware that women in Saudi Arabia didn’t have the same...

So was liberal hack Kathleen Belew, a so-called expert on the ‘white power movement,’ who used her time to lie about Candace Owens. Candace Owens was correct in referring to Belew as “despicable” after her vicious assault on Candace’s integrity. After Belew accused Candace Owens of laughing at the Christchurch massacre, a complete lie, Rep. Mark Meadows granted Owens his time to respond to the accusations.

Free burritos keep the action going but, jeez, open a window would ya?Hardcore gamers no longer have to tread the knife-edge of actual life or death in the physical world while pwning n00bs in their favourite battle royale.Thanks to some newly installed and highly conspicuous emergency buttons – each helpfully labelled EMERGENCY BUTTON to avoid any potential confusion – players hunkering down for the long haul at the Belong Gaming Arena in central Bristol from Monday next week will not end their days as a dried up old skeleton with a Dual Shock still quivering between their bony fingers.No, they...

The findings, published in the journal Heart, were based on nearly 3,500 adults, ages 35 to 75, who were tracked for about five years Napping late in the day also is not recommended because it can mar nighttime sleeping. more than a third of Americans regularly get too little sleep. That can lead to chronic health problems

VIDEO Donny Deutsch after going through several "Big Ones" in the past thinks that this time he has finally found the ultimate "Big One" on Fridays's Morning Joe that will be the "Game Changer" to take down Trump. Of course, he did not go into specifics. Could it be that doing so would harm a certain Democrat candidate that he is supporting? Unfortunately for poor Donny, President Trump did go into those inconvenient specifics in a video that he tweeted about Joe Biden that Donny preferred to avoid.

On 20 Sept. 2019, federal police officers chased down Portland antifa militants after they hurled rocks and projectiles at officers. One suspect was arrested at the scene. The masked militants had earlier marched in the "Climate Strike" protest before relocating to and near the ICE facility.

Never before has a boon to public health been met with such hysteria and ingratitude. Vaping is almost all upside in comparison with traditional smoking, a wanton destroyer of health and lives, and yet the nation is in the grip of a panic about e-cigarettes. In a rarity for the Trump era, the anti-vaping sentiment jumps traditional geographic and political bounds, running from the Oval Office to San Francisco, from President Donald Trump to his most fervent enemies. Trump announced a Food and Drug Administration ban on flavored e-cigarettes last week, while not too long ago the San Francisco Board...

The election campaign to date has been an exercise in idiocy and cowardice. It is obviously embarrassing for Justin Trudeau to have had to admit to attending an Aladdin-themed party in 2001 made up to look like Aladdin (although Aladdin was an Arab not an African, and blackening his hands was oddly laborious). But Maxime Bernier is right that Justin is not a racist, just a hypocrite. As Tucker Carlson, the Fox News commentator, said on Thursday night, the prime minister’s conduct is “sort of like finding out your super-sensitive brother-in-law, the one who tells you he’s a feminist, the...

[Elizabeth Warren's] now a prime target for rivals and their supporters.

She was US ambassador to Ukraine during the 2016 election when the Ukrainian government was colluding with the DNC and Hillary Campaign to undermine the US presidential election. Starting in 2018 Yovanovich denied Ukrainian officials visas to enter the United States to hand over evidence of Obama administration misconduct to Trump administration officials. US Ambassador Yovanovich, an Obama appointee, was removed from her post in Ukraine early in May 2019. John Solomon at The Hill reported: According to interviews with more than a dozen Ukrainian and U.S. officials, Ukraine’s government under recently departed President Petro Poroshenko and, now, Zelensky has...

The American Left, which manifests itself in the Democrat Party, is no different than the Communist and Socialist Left of the 20th century. They are just as diabolical, just as authoritarian, and just as adept at convincing young people that their political ideology is the way forward. Rich people shouldn’t be rich. It’s not fair that someone has something you don’t have. You have every right to their stuff because we’re ALL supposed to be “equal!” Or some such BS. What the lying Democrat socialist commies never say is that people who earned what they have should keep what they...

People in the US are now the world’s wealthiest citizens, just ahead of the Swiss, a new global report shows. The average net financial assets of people living in the US total €184,411 (around 202,900 Swiss francs) per capita against €173,838 for Switzerland, according to the latest Global Wealth Report published by German insurer Allianz. The rise of the US to the top of the rankings is thanks in no small part to the strength of the US dollar, the report states. While the US took top spot in the report, Switzerland continues to boast the highest gross financial assets...

Sen. Cory Booker’s presidential campaign manager is warning in a memo to staff that the Democratic senator from New Jersey must raise an additional $1.7 million by the end of the third quarter of fundraising – just 10 days away – or the campaign will not have a “legitimate long-term path forward.”

When you invite someone into your home, you might consider them to be guests. But what happens when you want them out and they choose to stay? No rent paid. No lease. You still must go to court. Meanwhile, you may be out of a home... She called the cops. “Cory said you can’t kick us out. You’ll have to get us evicted. We can stay for as long as we want,” said Dubuque. “The police were there when he said this. They said, ‘Yep. If you invited him in.’”

Winter has (probably) arrived in Sweden, with the first snowfall of the season in northern parts of the country. But first, let us explain the “probably”. Sweden determines the seasons not based on dates, but on meteorological definitions, according to which winter is considered to have arrived when temperatures drop below an average of 0°C five days in a row. And Tarfala in the Kebnekaise mountains is currently on its fifth day of –3°C temperatures. So unless it experiences a sudden heatwave, it means that when the clock strikes midnight, winter has arrived. […] In the Värmland region, the first...

For the first time since it was formed after the 9/11 attacks, the Department of Homeland Security is adding white supremacist violence to its list of priority threats in a revised counterterrorism strategy issued Friday. "The continuing menace of racially based violent extremism, particularly white supremacist extremism, is an abhorrent affront to our nation, the struggle and unity of its diverse population, and the core values of both our society and our department," said Kevin McAleenan, the acting Homeland secretary, in a speech at the Brookings Institute in Washington. DHS is stepping up its focus on what McAleenan called "targeted...
