The top election security official for the intelligence community, Shelby Pierson, reportedly misled members of the House Intelligence Committee during a briefing on Russia's efforts to interfere in the 2020 election, with the goal of helping President Donald Trump, according to three national security officials familiar with the matter as well as National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien. Pierson reportedly told lawmakers that Russia was interfering in the 2020 election with the aim of helping President Trump win re-election, despite no evidence suggesting that was Russia's intention. Concerns over the lack of evidence backing Pierson's claim were raised in response to...

Antifa defines themselves as anti-fascists who focus on “promotional, informative and practical ways of struggle against all authoritarian ideologies.” Antifa is recognized as a “Violent Political Social Experiment” with an emphasis on ‘Violent.’ Remember, every TEA Party gathering was peaceful but the fascists went after them. But every Antifa gathering turns violent and bloody! Yesterday during a small protest against Antifa Laura Kealiher, mother of deceased Antifa militant Sean Kealiher, got into a fight with a Trump supporter. Sean was killed last year in mysterious circumstances outside Antifa pub, Cider Riot. Authorities said that they found evidence of gunfire in...

A former adviser to President Bill Clinton speculated that Michael Bloomberg and Hillary Clinton are plotting a way for her to become the 2020 Democratic nominee even though she’s not in the race. “Here’s the deal that I think is going down. I think Hillary and Bloomberg have gotten together and cooked up a scheme,” Dick Morris told John Catsimatidis on The Cats Roundtable radio show on Sunday. He said Bloomberg would stay in the race, even if he has no chance of winning, in an effort to get at least enough support to keep Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders from...

I've been following the Coronavirus for a little while but there seems to be something strangely absent in all social media. 1. Where are all the 1st hand videos of someone WITH Coronavirus saying "Gee, I have a coronavirus and this is what it's doing to me"? 2. Where are the videos of people with testimonials about how they survived Coronavirus? I'm not saying they don't exist. But I've done a search on net and youtube for "I have corona virus" and I can't find any. Now it's possible that I've just not dug deep enough. Does anyone have any...

Coronavirus patients can’t stay at Travis Air Force Base, the federal government has announced. But so far there’s nowhere else for them to go. On Saturday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told Diamond Princess cruise ship passengers that everyone who tests positive for the virus must be moved from the Fairfield quarantine, even if they’re not sick. “We need to move them for observation and care, and to make sure people are being medically evaluated and their needs met,” said the CDC’s Peggy Honein in a phone briefing with the 156 passengers at the base. Because there...

Intelligence officials also reportedly warned lawmakers that the Russians were trying to help Trump win reelection. Trump’s national security adviser Robert O’Brien said he has not seen any intelligence to corroborate that analysis. O’Brien also denied that acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire was ousted over the briefing. On Sunday morning, Trump told reporters he suspects Schiff is behind the reports.

Just found this - others have probably seen it but could not find it when did a search here. Another unsung but awesome deed by our President, speaking at the commencement of the Hope for Prisoners graduation ceremony in Las Vegas. The President starts speaking at 50:07.

Democratic presidential front-runner Sen. Bernie Sanders said he would “absolutely” use military force in certain situations if he’s elected to the White House in November. The Vermont senator was asked during an upcoming interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes” if he would ever take military action. “Well, absolutely. Of course I do. You know, you hopefully as — as rare — as possible. But, yeah, we have the best military in the world,” Sanders told the news show in a clip released from the interview, which is set to air Sunday evening. Host Anderson Cooper questioned him about when he...

A world gone by. Colorized film from the last years of the Austro-Hungarian Imperial Court showing Franz Joseph, Archduke (later Emperor) Karl and the Archduchess Xenia, and I think I saw the ill-fated Franz Ferdinand in there as well. Background music is the old imperial anthem Gott Erhalte Franz den Kaiser.

Surely this prepubescent child did this on his own, without the prompting of his parents — we’re expected to believe that, anyways. “Thank you for being so brave,” the child asked in a question, which was read by Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold. “Would you help me tell the world I’m gay, too? I want to be brave like you.” Buttigieg told the child, Zachary Ro, that it didn’t seem like he needed advice on bravery, since he said it in a room full of people. “I don’t think you need a lot of advice from me on bravery,...

Police are investigating several jars of human remains found Monday underneath a Florida woman’s house. The Gainesville Police Department said Mary Baughman had a contractor out to give her a quote on work she wanted to be done on her house, but when he went to look for damage underneath the house, he found gallon-sized plastic jars of human tongues, according to the Tampa Bay Times. The labels on the jars were dated back to the late 1960s. Alarmed by what he saw, the contractor immediately called the police, according to chief inspector Jorge Campos. Although the jars had been...

A public high school in Towson, Maryland is being criticized by Republican lawmakers in the state because of a history lesson that compares President Trump with Nazis and communists. According to a report from The Baltimore Sun, a slide used in a presentation in an Advanced Placement history lesson at Loch Raven High School shows a picture of Trump, with the caption “Wants to round up a group of people and build a giant wall.” Underneath that is swastika with the caption "been there" and the communist hammer and sickle symbol with the caption "Done that." Another caption reads “Oh,...

In a shocking segment, MSNBC’s Katy Tur suggested that the FBI should be tracking young white men online to radicalize them, provide resources for creating explosives, and then arrest them. Tur was comparing young white men to ISIS terrorists in an interview with Frank Figliuzzi, the former Assistant Director for Counterintelligence at the FBI. “When you’re looking at ISIS or you’re looking at radical Islamic terrorism, I covered a number of stories where the FBI would track young kids or young men and they would talk to them online and say ‘you know, here’s how you build a bomb,’ or...

Austria has stopped all train services with Italy to prevent a further spread of the coronavirus, tabloid OE24.at said on its website on Sunday.

---SNIP--- “At one time women and children were considered safe. We were off-limits,” said McCleary, 52, and cofounder of the group Moms Bonded by Grief. “It isn’t like that anymore.” On Friday, a pregnant woman was fatally shot while in a vehicle on Ninth Street between Dauphin and York Streets and, after doctors performed an emergency C-section, her baby died, too. Her identity has not been revealed by police, who have described the woman as being in her 30s. Relatives of shooting victims and advocates said Saturday that if a pregnant woman can become a casualty of the city’s soaring...

The last thing Kathy Gunst and Katherine Alford expected when they published their cookbook “Rage Baking” was that the rage would be directed at them. “We started hearing from a lot of women we didn’t know saying, ‘You stole, you plagiarized,’” Ms. Alford said. “We were quite caught off guard.” The book — which is subtitled “The Transformative Power of Flour, Fury, and Women’s Voices” — was meant to celebrate anger and activism in the kitchen. While it may do that, it also ignited a conversation on social media about race, appropriation, feminism and marketing. Shortly after “Rage Baking” was...

Figured we would start numbering the threads. Some points to keep in mind: 1. This thing is not “just the flu.” 2. 1/10th of the worlds population is in some sort of lockdown. 3. Generally, we don’t buy the Chinese numbers But if anything they are low. 4. Everyone is welcome to post, but don’t bore us with your “you are panicking” posts. They are tedious. It’s Sunday night and the Walking Dead is back. Let’s talk Coronavirus.
