The Justice Department dispensed its recommendation of a prison sentence of seven to nine years for Roger Stone and replaced it with a more lenient request. A Tuesday evening court filing, which said the prior recommendation did "not accurately reflect the Department of Justice’s position on what would be a reasonable sentence in this matter," came after all four prosecutors in the case withdrew from their roles. “While it remains the position of the United States that a sentence of incarceration is warranted here, the government respectfully submits that the range of 87 to 108 months presented as the applicable...

Elizabeth Warren is trying to downplay results in New Hampshire and look toward the future, but her weak finish is bad news for her White House aspirations and a blow for a candidate who many had high expectations for through much of her campaign. The Massachusetts senator, 70, was in fourth place with 10% of votes as of about 8:30 p.m. with 30% of precincts reporting, coming in behind Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Warren was in danger of not meeting the 15% threshold to win nominating delegates to...

Milk’s main claim to fame is that in 1977, he became the first openly homosexual elected official in U.S. history by winning a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. He was elected with strong with help from the notorious “People’s Temple” cult of mass-murderer Jim Jones, who forced his followers and their children to drink poison in Guyana as part of a mass suicide.

Joe Biden is losing his cool over the chilly results he’s poised to deliver tonight in New Hampshire. In fact, he’s not even going to be there when the bad news is delivered. But before Biden attempted to scramble out of town and to what he hopes is friendlier territory, he first spoke to reporters. Biden said Hillary Clinton lost several primaries, so a drubbing today doesn’t mean much. “We’re fighting for every vote we have here and then I’m getting on a plane, heading down there, doing a little rally in South Carolina to get going, then getting in...

It’s as if the barnyard animals sense the wolf pack circling and approaching ever closer. The latest screeching and squealing noises heard from the corralled Democrats in D.C. are coming from House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler who sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr expressing “serious concern” about the Department of Justice (DOJ) receiving Biden-Ukraine information from Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani “outside of normal channels.” Nadler’s four-page letter charged that the process by which the DOJ has accepted info from Giuliani “would seem to be a significant departure from traditional channels,” and he demanded answers regarding the DOJ’s new...

This whole video is just Amir and is just about the corona virus. He has studied the event well, as he does with everything he talks to us about, and he mentions all the factors that many on FR know about that make it dangerous, and repeats the 21-day incubation period, which is now up to 24 days on FR, along with the almost insurmountable problem of the virus being airborne. God bless you, Amir, for drawing attention to this, not to cause alarm but so that we call can do whatever we can to help ourselves and others. And...

Jussie Smollett is facing felony charges in Chicago again -- the special prosecutor just announced an indictment against the actor for the alleged homophobic attack against him last year. A grand jury handed up the new indictment against Jussie on Tuesday. Dan Webb was appointed special prosecutor for the case last summer. We're told he's now facing 6 felony counts for lying to law enforcement. The indictment calls the 6 charges "disorderly conduct," but all 6 involve allegations of lying to cops.

Well, it is 8:30 in the evening of the NH primary. And not ONE thread is even discussing the preliminary results, the exit polls, or the breathless newstalkers latest words. Is it really that lane for the democrats this year?

[Catholic Caucus] Martinsville priest refuses to sign order to silence from the Catholic Diocese of Richmond Father Mark White said he wasn't allowed to review a document read aloud to him by church officials a day after he had met with the bishop. That truce reached last week in a dispute between a Martinsville priest and a Richmond bishop that preserved the priest’s job now appears to have been short-lived.About 24 hours after that meeting last Wednesday, Father Mark White, priest of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Martinsville and St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Rocky Mount, was visited...
