Attorney General William Barr decided to release information about former FBI informant Christopher Steele that had been redacted in Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz's report that's being made public on Monday investigating the Russian probe, The New York Times reported. Steele, who compiled a dossier of unverified information about President Donald Trump that FBI officials used to some extent in order to seek a court order for surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, was, in a highly unusual move, only informed on the eve of the report's release that the previously blacked out information would be made...

Of course the Democrats would reject a motion to condemn illegal immigrant voting? Illegal immigrants represent their core constituency. House Dems overwhelmingly reject motion to condemn illegal immigrant voting By Fox News, December 7th, 2019: Nearly every House Democrat on Friday opposed a measure condemning voting in U.S. elections by illegal immigrants, as part of a sweeping election reform bill. The GOP-backed measure would have added language to the “H.R. 1” election proposal stating that “allowing illegal immigrants the right to vote devalues the franchise and diminishes the voting power of United States citizens.” ederal law already prohibits non-citizens from...

Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation. Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of...

Mike Pompeo and singer-songwriter Linda Ronstadt clashed over the Secretary of State's boss during the Kennedy Center Honors State Department dinner Saturday evening. Pompeo hosted the dinner the night before the Kennedy Center Honors gala at the State Department, which is where the honorees received their awards. When delivering remarks to the audience at the dinner, Pompeo congratulated Ronstadt, a headliner honoree, and joked about her 1974 hit 'When Will I Be Loved,' asking when he would be loved. In response, the 73-year-old singer told Pompeo, 'Maybe when you stop enabling Donald Trump.'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) contrasted "the unwarranted impeachment of President Clinton" with "the need to remove the most dangerous man to ever hold the office. Granted, Clinton behaved stupidly, but many presidents have been stupid without posing the kind of existential threat to democracy that Trump does. A smart man is far more dangerous to democracy than a dumb one." "Going back to the very beginning of his campaign Trump demonstrated a cleverness beyond the norms of modern politics," Pelosi explained. "His winning against every recognized expert's prediction raised a red warning to all correct thinkers. His policies spurring...

"Brown highlighted what he feels are low pensions for older retired players. For those who retired before 1993, the rate is about $2,500 a month for a player who spent seven years in the league. Brown called it “shockingly, immorally, low.”

Neo-Con Republican strategist and Never Trumper Rick Wilson has suggested that anti-vaxxers should be put in re-education camps and have their children taken away.Yes, really.Wilson was responding to an NBC News story about how people who question the safety of vaccines are now taking their fight “offline” due to mass censorship by the likes of Facebook and are “harassing doctors and private citizens.”  “Anti-vaxxers are a scourge and a strong argument for re-education camps, the immediate seizure of their property, and putting their children into protective custody,” responded Wilson.https://twitter.com/TheRickWilson/status/1202978781000065025?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1202978781000065025&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newswars.com%2Fnever-trumper-rick-wilson-suggests-putting-anti-vaxxers-in-re-education-camps%2F 

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — The Saudi gunman who killed three people at the Pensacola naval base had apparently gone on Twitter shortly before the shooting to blast U.S. support of Israel and accuse America of being anti-Muslim, a U.S. official said Sunday as the FBI confirmed it is operating on the assumption the attack was an act of terrorism. Investigators are also trying to establish whether the killer, 2nd Lt. Mohammed Alshamrani, 21, of the Royal Saudi Air Force, acted alone or was part of a larger plot. Alshamrani, who was killed by a sheriff’s deputy during the rampage at...

The Justice Department inspector general’s report into the Russia collusion investigation lays out incontrovertible evidence that the FBI misled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court through false information and omissions, according to sources familiar with its findings. The evidence that the judges were misled is so sweeping that it could provide grounds, if Attorney General William Barr chooses, to withdraw the FBI’s application for the surveillance warrants that began in October 2016 to target ex-Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, the sources added. Such a move, while mostly legally symbolic since the probe is long since closed, would still amount to a...

The Abell 85 galaxy cluster, which is home to a black hole of 40 billion solar masses Mathias Kluge/USM/MPE ===================================================================== Astronomers from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics and at the University Observatory Munich have found the largest known black hole in our galactic neighborhood using direct mass measurements. Located 700 million light-years from Earth in the Abell 85 cluster of galaxies in the constellation of Cetus, it has a mass 40 billion times that of the Sun. Ever since the existence of the first black hole was confirmed in 1971, they have gone from being a mathematical curiosity...

Who knew that when it came to impeachment, its biggest benefactor would be President Donald Trump? Everyone. Everyone knew that…except the Democrats apparently. According to Firehouse Strategies, the battleground states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin all consistently showed that Trump was losing to Joe Biden in a match-up, but recently, polling from Firehouse shows that he’s now falling short of beating Trump by six points, and it’s all thanks to impeachment: As the race currently stands, President Trump is in the lead in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin in hypothetical match-ups against former Vice President Joe Biden, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Senator...

Provocative analysis of sea-floor cores suggests that quakes on the Cascadia fault off California can trigger tremors on the San Andreas. Two of North America’s most fearsome earthquake zones could be linked. A controversial study argues that at least eight times in the past 3,000 years, quakes made a one–two punch off the west coast of the United States. A quake hit the Cascadia fault off the coast of northern California, triggering a second quake on the San Andreas fault just to the south. In some cases, the delay between the quakes may have been decades long. The study suggests...

Amazon.com Inc. said President Trump exerted “improper pressure” on the Pentagon to keep a lucrative cloud-computing deal from going to his perceived political enemy, company founder Jeffrey Bezos. In a complaint filed in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington, Amazon said the president “launched repeated public and behind-the-scenes attacks” on the contract and the company to steer the contract away from Amazon. Mr. Trump’s aim was “to harm his perceived political enemy—Jeffrey P. Bezos,” according to the complaint, which was made public Monday. Amazon was long considered the favorite to win the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI,...

We've long suspected that Joe Scarborough's rhetorical jihad on President Trump was fueled by Trump's tweet in which he wrote that Mika Brzezinski, Scarborough's wife-to-be, was "bleeding badly from a facelift." And now we have confirmation. This morning, Scarborough virtually admitted that the insult does indeed lie at the heart of his anti-Trump vendetta. Much of the opening segment of today's Morning Joe was devoted to tearing into Ted Cruz for defending President Trump, despite Trump, during the 2016 campaign, having said unflattering things about Cruz, his wife, and father. [snip] Donny Deutsch: How would you handle it as a...

Columbus, OH – When Ohio’s pro-life Governor Mike DeWine appointed Dr. Amy Acton to serve as Executive Director of the Ohio Department of Health, he may not have realized that, as a registered Democrat, Acton and her whole family worked on Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, and later managed non-profit fundraising grants for Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio and the NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio Foundation. It was Acton that issued a license to “Women’s Med Dayton” – the alter-ego for Women’s Med Center of Dayton, an abortion facility owned by the notorious late-term abortionist Martin Haskell. Acton revoked the license for...

The White House and House Democrats are on the verge of a new North American trade deal in what would give President Trump a signature legislative victory. The Washington Post reported Monday that AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said the two sides had come to a deal and that the labor union was reviewing it. The White House and AFL-CIO did not immediately respond to requests for comment. But a senior Democratic aide pushed back on the report, saying that nothing had yet been finalized. "We’re still studying the proposal," the aide said. Trump announced the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) more than...

2019 has been an incredible college football season so far for CBS. The network announced Sunday that they’d posted the best viewership numbers for their season-long coverage (to date; they still have Army-Navy next week, which will undoubtedly bring in plenty of further viewers) in 29 years, and that Saturday’s SEC championship game (which saw then-No. 2 LSU beat then-No.4 Georgia 37-10) averaged 13.703 million viewers. That’s the second-highest viewership total for any NCAA game this year, behind only Nov. 10’s LSU-Alabama game (which also aired on CBS, and which drew 16.64 million viewers on average).

The Supreme Court has upheld a Kentucky law slowing women a chance to see an ultrasound of their unborn baby before having an abortion. Ultrasounds are generally done before abortionist to determine the age of the baby prior to the abortion, but abortion clinics normally don’t let women see their baby because they may change their mind after seeing their child. The nation’s highest court declined to take up a challenge to the law from abortion activists. The American Civil Liberties Union, which represents Kentucky’s only abortion clinic, EMW Women’s Surgical Center, had asked the courts to strike it down....
