Sections of a so-called whistleblower’s complaint alleging President Donald Trump was “using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country” in the 2020 presidential race relies upon a self-described investigative journalism organization bankrolled massively by billionaire activist George Soros. The complainer admits, “I was not a direct witness to most of the events described.” Still, the so-called whistleblower goes on to allege that Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. The transcript of the phone call authorized for release by President Trump evidences no such pressure or quid pro...

Former United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Joe diGenova and his wife and attorney Victoria Toensing to discuss the latest developments in the Democrat-media attempted coup of President Trump. The two discussed the partisan CIA “whistleblower” attack on president Trump. As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, we now know the “whistleblower” was a CIA operative, likely close to John Brennan, who was serving in the White House in order to spy on President Trump. The alleged whistleblower wrote his report based on hearsay and opinion. The report was written by seasoned lauyers. The report is already falling apart...

Oil slide after Iranian President Hassan Rouhani claimed on Friday the U.S. offered to remove all sanctions on Iran in exchange for negotiations. The State Department later denied those claims, causing oil to rebound from the lows WTI crude futures were last lower by 2% to $55.27 following the report after falling as low as $54.79. Brent crude futures fell 1.9% to $60.59. “The German chancellor, the prime minister of England (Britain) and the president of France were in New York and all insisted that this meeting take place. And America says that it will lift the sanctions,” Rouhani said...

President Trump talked gun buybacks in a closed-door meeting with New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern this week, CBS News reports. Ardern told “CBS This Morning” co-host Gayle King that during the conversation, Trump was “interested” in how the country responded to the Christchurch tragedy in March with a sweeping ban on most semiautomatic firearms, all modern sporting rifles, and magazines with a capacity greater than 10 rounds. “We had a policy discussion. He was interested in how it all worked, how it had been received,” explained Ardern. However, she couldn’t tell whether Trump was actually considering doing something...

There have been many strange motions and actions in the Gibson’s Bakery v. Oberlin College case. A post-trial motion by Oberlin College to unseal Facebook records may be one of the more strange developments, and offers a window into the bitter feelings of college officials. Allyn D. Gibson (Allyn D.) is the grandson of plaintiff Allyn W. Gibson (“Allyn W.”) and the son of plaintiff David Gibson. Allyn D., who was not a party in the lawsuit, was the store clerk on duty who caught an Oberlin College student shoplifting. The scuffle that ensued, involving two additional Oberlin College students,...

Carson King raised more than $1 million for an Iowa children's hospital, borne out of a request for beer money on national TV. But old racist tweets ended his relationship with the beer company that promised to match his fundraising. Anheuser-Busch announced it would no longer associate with King after he admitted posting two offensive tweets in 2012 when he was a 16-year-old high school student. "Carson King had multiple social media posts that do not align with our values as a brand or as a company and we will have no further association with him," the company said in...

Nancy Pelosi on Friday charged Attorney General William Barr with going 'rogue' and using the Justice Department to participate in the 'cover up of a cover up' for President Donald Trump. 'He's gone rogue,' the speaker said of Barr on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe.' 'I think where they're going is a cover-up of the cover-up,' she added. 'And that's really very sad for them. And to have a Justice Department go so rogue, well, they had been for a while.' Barr's role in the Trump administration has come into question since a transcript of the phone call between President Trump and...

The task of learning never ends for those who want to grow in wisdom. But in a world of eight- or ten-hour workdays, traffic jams, and daily responsibilities, it can be easy to put the life of the mind on the back burner. Besides time constraints, another difficulty is that education is expensive. For those still working to pay off their student loans, the prospect of paying more for additional learning opportunities is simply not justifiable. Fortunately, neither the barriers of time nor money have to inhibit continuing one’s education. There are a myriad of free online resources available that...

Democrats push impeachment on Ukraine By Jeffrey T. Kuhner Democrats are on the brink of impeaching President Trump. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has thrown her support behind it. Over 230 House Democrats now say they will vote for it. It is no longer a question of if but when Democrats impeach the president. This should come as no surprise. Since Trump’s election in November 2016, rabid progressives and the anti-Trump resistance have been demanding his removal from office. They view him as illegitimate—a moral stain on the nation’s conscience. They thought Russia collusion would serve as their pretext. This failed...

Democrats have been seeking another Watergate ever since the last one. As the “news” media is made up exclusively of Woodwards and Bernsteins today all they needed was to locate a new Deep Throat. They thought they finally had one in the latest whistleblower portending to have evidence of an impeachable crime involving the President and Ukraine. Two problems: 1) his “evidence” was based on hearsay and 2) no crime, impeachable or otherwise, was committed. That would be ‘game over’ in the real world but not so in the arena of political theatre. Expect it to continue playing at least...

Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election team is planning an Oct. 10 campaign rally at Target Center, but Minneapolis’ top elected officials were quick to denounce the president on Thursday after the announcement came out. Not surprisingly, the official Twitter account of the Republican Party of Minnesota responded to the news in very different terms, describing the state’s GOP faithful as “overjoyed” by the president's fourth visit to the state in 16 months. The news came just days after Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the House will launch an impeachment probe into allegations the president pressured Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe...

Tom Brady may be the most accomplished quarterback in the history of the National Football League and boast legions of fans, but it’s safe to say that University of Rhode Island Professor Kyle Kusz is not one of them. Kusz, an associate professor of kinesiology, argues that the New England Patriots’ star quarterback’s popularity is due to white supremacy and white male rage, and not his six Super Bowl titles, Campus Reform reports. The article reports on a book chapter Kusz penned titled “Making American White Men Great Again: Tom Brady, Donald Trump, and the Allure of White Male Omnipotence...

Thunberg is asked, “Could you please tell us what you are doing here today? What kind of message would you send to world leaders? Also I’d like to ask you, do you think it’s about time that President Trump would respond to what you have said?” The girl stutters in response, “Um…I think…I’m sorry, what was the first question?” Then as he begins to repeat the question she interjects, “The message we want to send is that we’ve had enough.” Then she tries to pass the mic to others seated with her, asking if anyone else would like to answer...

DoorDash has confirmed a data breach. The food delivery company said in a blog post Thursday that 4.9 million customers, delivery workers and merchants had their information stolen by hackers. The breach happened on May 4, the company said, but added that customers who joined after April 5, 2018 are not affected by the breach. It’s not clear why it took almost five months for DoorDash to detect the breach. DoorDash spokesperson Mattie Magdovitz blamed the breach on “a third-party service provider,” but the third-party was not named. “We immediately launched an investigation and outside security experts were engaged to...

For the first time, two Republican governors have publicly supported the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump, a new development in an intensifying political fracas that has so far been largely partisan. Vermont Gov. Phil Scott and Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, both outspoken critics of Trump, said Thursday that they favored the investigation, but Scott added that he would wait for more information before calling for further action against the president. In a statement to The Washington Post, Scott called the inquiry "appropriate" and said it is a key part of Congress's duty as a co-equal branch of government. "I...

Hawaii’s Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said Tuesday that impeaching President Donald Trump would be “terribly divisive” for the country. She’s right. And that’s exactly what her party wants. The Democrats have been tearing America apart for some time. They didn’t start with the 2016 election of Trump. But that event certainly accelerated the segregation-minded Democrats. Less than one month after voters chose the Republican candidate, Fortune magazine noted a “bitter” “rift in online relationships.” The report was based on a study that found “Democrats were almost three times more likely than Republicans (24% vs. 9%) to have unfriended someone after...

Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin has temporarily delayed Sen. Mike Lee’s green-card giveaway bill to Indian graduates because it does not give away enough green cards to foreign graduates from many countries. Durbin’s block sends Lee’s business-funded bill back into closed-door negotiations where business lobbyists will keep trying to redesign the nation’s immigration system. The lobbyists are seeking to boost their corporate revenues and profits by steering well-paid jobs away from expert American graduates and their college-graduate children. So far, no GOP or Democrat senator has spoken up to protect millions of American college-graduate voters from this joint effort by the...

Rep Adam Schiff fraudulently read to Congress, with millions of people watching, a version of my conversation with the President of Ukraine that doesn't exist. He was supposedly reading the exact transcribed version of the call, but he completely changed the words to make it sound horrible, an me sound guilty. HE WAS DESPERATE AND HE GOT CAUGHT. Adam Schiff therefore lied to Congress and attempted to defraud the American Public. He has been doing this for two years, I am calling for him to immediately resign from Congress based on this fraud!
