  • VIDEO: The Deep State Cover-up of 1995: How the OKC Bombing Launched Terror in America

    MY COMMENTS: This is a great video presentation. Bill Clinton and the Deep State hid what really happened in OKC, just as he did with the shoot down of TWA Flight 800 four months before the 1996 election. In OKC, Clinton deviously but brilliantly used the bombing to create hate against Rush Limbaugh, Jerry Falwell, and "that damned video" --- THE CLINTON CHRONICLES. Clinton drew the line in the sand for his followers that, no matter what he did, they had to back him to stop the dreaded right wing. Dave Schippers, who handled the House Managers in the Clinton...

Super HD I love you more than you'll ever know

    No excerpt from Bloomberg allowed, story here. Another article, ungated: This $1 billion solar plant was obsolete before it ever went online. The article says taxpayers are liable for $737 million in loan guarantees. The waste in a Green New Deal could be in the trillions.

    CNNi  (CNN international) via Becky Anderson, based out of Abu Dhabi, attempts to push a false propaganda narrative against State Dept Spokesperson Morgan Ortagus.   Things didn’t work out as planned.  The pontificating Anderson was left speechless.  Funny.Ms. Anderson intentionally ignored the E-3 Statement of support from earlier today and attempted to push a narrative of the U.S. being isolated within the international community.  Mrs. Morgan Ortagus shredded the CNNi narrative engineer.  WATCH: Note: Video at the link
  • The New York Times foreshadowed attack on Iranian Qassem Soleimani in op-ed

    The New York Times published a mysteriously prescient op-ed Thursday that cited an attack on Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani as a possible scenario hours before the US took him out in a similar way. The op-ed, “Hypersonic Missiles Are a Game Changer,” by Quincy Institute analyst and former National Security Council big Steve Simon, speculated about the use of the powerful weapons. “Is there an individual in an unfriendly country who cannot be apprehended? What if the former commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, Qassem Soleimani, visits Baghdad for a meeting and you know the address? The temptations to use hypersonic...

    The aftermath of the Soleimani strike is filled with unhappy subplots but a rare enjoyable one will be watching Fox’s 8 p.m. guy tussle with, well, pretty much everyone else on the network over whether aggression towards Iran is a good or bad thing.Tucker is clear and consistent. He doesn’t trust America’s hawkish national security establishment, be it in the context of Saddam’s WMDs, the Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia, or the supposedly “imminent” threat posed by Qassem Soleimani. Especially the latter, as he’s been an outspoken critic of belligerence towards Iran throughout Trump’s presidency. He was the...
  • Pompeo pushes back on NBC's Mitchell: 'You're not really wondering Andrea'

    The Hill ^ | 01 07 2020 | Laura Kelly and Morgan Chalfant
    Secretary of State Mike Pompeo clashed with NBC anchor Andrea Mitchell at a Tuesday press briefing over President Trump's threats to attack cultural sites in Iran. Trump over the weekend said the U.S. was prepared to hit cultural sites on Iran if Tehran strikes American personnel or sites in response to the targeted killing of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani last week. Legal experts have said hitting cultural sites would amount to a war crime and Defense Secretary Mike Esper on Monday indicated such actions were not on the table, telling reporters that the Pentagon would “follow the laws of...

    A Chinese-American civic group is opposing Sen. Mike Lee’s push to accelerate the inflow of Indian graduates into voting booths, U.S. workplaces, and the Utah economy. The Chinese American Citizens Alliance denounced Lee’s S.386 bill via a one-third-page advertisement in the Wall Street Journal, which said: IT & outsourcing firms are pushing Bill S.386. Kills American Jobs Rewards H1B visa abuse. Blocks Global Talent. CALL YOUR US SENATORS. DEMAND A PUBLIC HEARING NOW! The WSJ ad directs readers to visit a website, formiddleclass.org. The group also delivered copies of the newspaper to each Senate office. Lee’s revised S.386 bill would...

    Currently, the faint star V Sagittae, V Sge, in the constellation Sagitta, is barely visible, even in mid-sized telescopes. However, around the year 2083, this innocent star will explode, becoming as bright as Sirius, the brightest star visible in the night sky. During this time of eruption, V Sge will be the most luminous star in the Milky Way galaxy. This prediction is being presented for the first time at the 235th American Astronomical Society meeting in Honolulu, HI, by astronomers Bradley E. Schaefer, Juhan Frank, and Manos Chatzopoulos, with the Louisiana State University Department of Physics & Astronomy. V...

    Many sites are reporting that the Aussie investigators now suspect that up to 85% of the fires were caused by human beings. They have arrested a number of people and many of them were found with accelerants in their possession. Arrested yes but many of them are now free. Muslim teen Fadi Zraika was seen laughing as he left court on Tuesday in Sydney. Fadi and his brother Abraham are accused of starting a fire at a Guildford park in December.

    A mysterious repeating radio signal from space revealed last year is now the fifth fast radio burst to be tracked back to its source galaxy. It's a location unlike any of the others, and astronomers are having to rethink their previous assumptions about how these signals are generated. The origin of this repeating signal is a spiral galaxy, located 500 million light-years from Earth, making it the closest known source of what we call fast radio bursts (FRBs) yet. And the FRBs are emanating specifically from a region just seven light-years across - a region that's alive with star formation....

    I am familiar with Windows 7 and do not like Windows 10 shell, but I just switched to 10, and made it look just like 7. So now I can get Microsoft update support for many years, while the support for Windows 7 stops on January 14, 2020 making it more vulnerable to hacking after that date. The process was smooth and I like the results so far.

    PARIS — The French writer Gabriel Matzneff never hid the fact that he engaged in sex with girls and boys in their early teens or even younger. He wrote countless books detailing his insatiable pursuits and appeared on television boasting about them. “Under 16 Years Old,” was the title of an early book that left no ambiguity. Still, he never spent a day in jail for his actions or suffered any repercussion. Instead, he won acclaim again and again. Much of France’s literary and journalism elite celebrated him and his work for decades. Now 83, Mr. Matzneff was awarded a...

    Jaime Harrison, the South Carolina Democrat who is working to boot Republican Lindsey Graham from his Senate seat is on a great fundraising streak, according to an announcement from his campaign. The Hill reports that Harrison has raised more than $3.5 million in the last three months of 2019, an achievement that his campaign is claiming is the most that any South Carolina Democratic challenger has ever raised. The campaign said that Harrison raked in donations from voters in all 46 of South Carlina’s counties, and also comes from more than 112,000 contributions. And, according to the Post and Courier,...

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has been playing this game that she wouldn’t turn over the articles of impeachment to the Senate unless they agree to witnesses that the Democrats want to have in a Senate trial. Whether or not Pelosi really wants to move along the articles is a question. But now the Republicans are calling her bluff anyway. McConnell had already told her that he wasn’t going to comply with her request. Now the word is he has the votes behind him to proceed with the trial without agreeing to anything with Pelosi. They would decide on witnesses...

    There he goes again! Joe Biden was taking a selfie when he kissed a college student from behind. She was shocked! Over the decades, Biden has repeatedly crossed the boundaries when it comes to social cues, but during his current campaign for president, he’s probably set a record for the number of times he’s crossed the line. Here’s another moment of social awkwardness from Joe: The video is the second one down, but the first one is also a strange interaction with Biden where he grabs a stranger’s phone: Biden has a difficult time with touching and getting too close...

    William Shatner, known for his roles on Star Trek, T.J. Hooker, and The Twilight Zone, has already shown he's full of holiday spirit. The actor-turned-musician has released an entire album of Christmas music, not to mention his impressive roster of Christmas movies. But this time Shatner Claus has taken it a step further. On Christmas Day 2019, the Los Angeles Police Department was surprised with a visit from Captain Kirk himself. But he didn't just come by to give his thanks for working on Christmas— he brought along plenty of food. Shatner reportedly brought beef and pastrami sandwiches, bagels, lox,...
