This is CGI but I have been following the Boston Dynamics robots and their improvements. This is not far off in the future. A few years from now we will see these battle robots at this level. The book, 1984 was not supposed to be an instruction manual and neither was the Terminator movie. What would the deep state do with an army of these machines? Scary as he!! <---Click to view video

A parody about the treachery of the Clintons throughout the years and their ultimate political demise at the hands of Donald Trump. Sung to the tune of "The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald".

Maniac globalist RINO primary challengers call for red flag laws, reinstatement of globalist deals, and implementation of carbon taxes Never Trump Republicans eager to challenge Trump in 2020 joined Politicon on Saturday to rant about how President Trump is a traitor posing a danger to the nation who must be arrested.GOP primary challengers Bill Weld, Joe Walsh, and Mark Sanford perpetuated the left’s debunked talking points about Trump’s Ukraine phone call, calling for him to be arrested and tried for treason.“He betrayed our elections!” Walsh, a former congressman, exclaimed. “If you don’t impeach him for that, you’re telling future presidents...

Smith continued, “He was going to get the entire senior intelligence service to hand in their resignations. Now, that doesn’t necessarily mean he was going to fire everyone. What it means, though, is he wanted everyone to prove what they were doing, that they were doing their jobs, they were doing good for the country, they weren’t wasting money, they weren’t wasting time, and they weren’t running operations like the one they ran against General Flynn.” “The intelligence community, at that point — what has correctly and colorfully became known as the deep state — they rose nearly as one...

The anonymous whistleblower who is at the center of impeachment inquiry is quietly slipping into the sidelines as Democrats say the individual’s testimony is no longer necessary. Meanwhile, Republicans have raised concerns over the lack of testimony from the whistleblower, saying that the individual’s testimony is required to ensure due process and fairness. The Washington Post reported on Thursday that several Democrats have said that they no longer need to hear from the whistleblower because they have gathered enough information from recent depositions obtained in secret hearings to back allegations against President Donald Trump. The report also said, citing a...

ASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump plans to make a "major statement" at the White House at 9 a.m. EST (1300 GMT) on Sunday, White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said on Saturday. Gidley gave no further details.Earlier, Trump tweeted: "Something very big has just happened!" Trump has been under pressure over a Democratic-led impeachment inquiry and has faced stiff criticism for his U.S. troop withdrawal from Syria.

Russia's Defence Ministry has criticised the United States' decision to send armoured vehicles and combat troops into eastern Syria to protect oil fields, calling it "banditry." US Defense Secretary Mark Esper has said the move is aimed at keeping the fields from potentially falling into the hands of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) armed group. The decision was the latest sign that extracting the US military from Syria is more uncertain and complicated than President Donald Trump has made it out to be. On Saturday, there were several troop movements in Syria...

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday that northeastern Syria is suitable for Arab people to live, but not Kurdish people, because of the area’s desert topography. “What is important is to prepare a controlled life in this enormous area, and the most suitable people for it are Arabs. These areas are not suitable for the lifestyle of Kurds ... because these areas are virtually desert,” Erdogan said, pointing to a map of the Syria, in an interview with Turkish television channel TRT. Erdogan’s remarks attempt to defend Ankara’s military offensive, “Operation Peace Spring,” against Kurdish-led militias in Syria,...

Moms Demand Action hosts event with illegal “large-capacity” magazines, “ghost gun” parts and tools, bayonet, and live ammunition At the meeting it appears that several New Jersey laws were violated.

COLUMBIA, S.C. - Democratic presidential candidates in South Carolina Saturday accused U.S. President Donald Trump of stoking racism as they vied for the state’s black vote in its strategically important early primary. Former Vice President Joe Biden, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and five other Democrats participated in a forum at historically black Benedict College a day after Trump was presented an award there for his work on criminal justice, sparking outrage among candidates and temporarily prompting Senator Kamala Harris to pull out. Harris, a former district attorney and state attorney general in California, spoke at the event Saturday...

Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord there is...

You may recall earlier this month when New York Governor Andrew Cuomo threatened utility company National Grid with massive fines if they didn’t start adding more natural gas hookups in New York City. This was done despite the fact that National Grid had told him that they no longer had an adequate supply of gas in their aging pipelines to provide service to more customers. This left everyone wondering what would happen during peak demand hours this winter when the temperatures dip into single digits. In order to avoid the fines, the utility agreed to start adding more hookups, even...

Some of the top culprits in the Obamagate scandal, mostly consisting of the intelligence agency heads, have reached a whole new level of guilt for their involvement. The only question is: Are they so confident that they will not face crimes that they have become as arrogant as possible, or are they worried that they just might face justice and thus are turning on each other? James Clapper’s most recent interview with CNN could be either one, but his statements remain the same: He explicitly said that he and others were ordered to spy on Donald Trump’s campaign by the...
