“Stalinist tactics mandate immediate dismissal of this case,” Flynn’s attorneys say. In early September, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit rejected Gen. Michael Flynn’s petition for dismissal and voted 8-2 to send the case back to judge Emmet Sullivan. The judge, who rejected the Department of Justice dismissal of the case, must now consider documents Flynn’s attorneys filed with the court on Thursday. “General Flynn has a Sixth Amendment right to a public exoneration regarding the proceedings against him,” the documents state, “and the American people have a right to know the truth about the nefarious conduct...

Donna Brazile is not apologizing for leaking CNN debate questions and topics to the Hillary Clinton campaign during the Democratic primary. Her only regret, it seems, is that she got caught. “My conscience — as an activist, a strategist — is very clear,” the interim chair of the Democratic National Committee said Monday during a satellite radio interview with liberal activist and SiriusXM host Joe Madison. She added that “if I had to do it all over again, I would know a hell of a lot more about cybersecurity.” In other words, Brazile would have made sure that her improper...

The establishment media is all aflutter Monday after a New York Times story over the weekend about incumbent GOP President Donald Trump’s tax records, but it turns out Democrat candidate former Vice President Joe Biden allegedly used a series of tax code loopholes to avoid paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes over the years. Back in August, the Wall Street Journal’s Chris Jacobs exposed how the Biden family structured what is called an “S-Corp” to avoid paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes.

Hunter Biden allegedly sent 'thousands of dollars' to people who may have been involved in Eastern European prostitution and sex trafficking rings, according to report released on Wednesday by Senate Republicans. The report cited unspecified records which indicate that Biden 'has sent funds to non-resident alien women in the United States who are citizens of Russia and Ukraine and who have subsequently wired funds they have received from Hunter Biden to individuals located in Russia and Ukraine.'

The NY Times story on Trump's taxes is a giant mischaracterization to anyone with a basic understanding of the business/corporate finance. Here is a quick take of questionable items in their story.NY Times Uses "Tax Return Data" & Not "Tax Returns"When the NY Times talks about acquiring Trump's 'taxes,' they are careful to use the word 'data. and not 'returns.' Quote:"The New York Times has obtained tax-return data""The tax data examined by The Times""The Times examined and analyzed the data" Everyone is assuming the NY Times has the full tax returns. But the way words are carefully used in the...

Joe Biden’s campaign said President Trump’s demand on Sunday for the former vice president to be tested for drug use before their first debate on Tuesday was ‘made in urine’. ‘Vice President Biden intends to deliver his debate answers in words,’ Biden’s deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, said. ‘If the president thinks his best case is made in urine he can have at it.

Did you remember to mow the roof? It's not exactly a common question for homeowners, but that's what makes this earth-sheltered residence in Baker, WV, so distinctive. The 1,836-square-foot home is a Terra Dome structure topped with a grass roof. For a buyer who loves lawn care, the home is on the market for $289,900. “It was built as a retreat house, which is very energy-efficient and very safe,” says listing agent Adam Shively. “The walls are 10-inch reinforced concrete, and the ceiling is a dome. Basically, you excavate the hillside and then you cover it back up and the...

There’s good reason to see the Paramount blockbuster film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. It’s the true story of a group of six former US military private security contractors who fight with awe inspiring bravery and professionalism to save the lives of their fellow Americans during the September 11-12, 2012 terrorist attacks on the American diplomatic compound and a CIA base (known as the Annex) in Benghazi, Libya. In a battle that eventually took on the feel of a small scale Alamo — odds against them may have been higher than 10 to 1 — they steadfastly stuck...

The Amy Coney Barrett Circus Is Going to Be SpectacularHappy Monday, my Kruiser Morning Briefing compadres. This week is going to be just oozing Kumbaya, don’t you think? Last week I mentioned to my colleagues in a private chat that I’ve been waiting for President Trump to nominate Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court like a kid waits for Christmas. In a year like this, one has to really savor the enjoyable moments. There was much savoring to be done this past Saturday and — even though I know the Democrats are going to be extremely awful going forward...

Our nation needs the power of prayer more than ever. In times of crisis, Catholics turn instinctively to the Mother of God to heal our wounds. Now, we can all do our part in this national effort by praying the Novena to the Mother of God for the Nation. In this powerful supplication, our voices speak as one asking Mary’s intercession to unite us as one nation under God. It reminds us of the central truths of our faith, Mary’s unique role in our salvation, and our complete confidence in her ability to help her children on Earth overcome adversity.

The fall-out from a racially charged deadly shooting in Omaha now finds the Nebraska Democratic Party aiming some tough talk at one of its own long-respected members: Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine.

President Trump and Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden will not shake hands at their first debate next week in Ohio due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, campaign sources told Politico.

Pope Francis Will Not Receive Pompeo in His Visit to Italy According to experts, relations between the Vatican and the U.S. have experienced an extraordinary hardening in recent days Pope Francis Sunday announced that he will not receive the U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who will visit Italy next week, because "that could influence the U.S. election campaign."

The Southern Disunionists are exercising a good deal of prudence in their plans and projects for carrying their schemes into execution. They evince very little of that headlong zeal which has sometimes characterized them. They are not disposed to rush to arms instantly and wage a war of extermination upon the North as they have at times threatened to do hitherto -- but are suggesting various modes of accomplishing their object, with a view of selecting the one which shall involve least risk. Part are opposed to any one State seceding alone. Some want one State to take the lead,...

Politico sounds very worried while simultaneously trying to project not very convincingly that there is no real need for concern over the fact that for the first 26 days of September, Joe Biden has taken 11 "lid" days, i.e. done no campaigning. It is almost as if they are trying to convince themselves of this as much as they are their readers in Friday's worry bead article by Christopher Cadelago and Marc Caputo, "When Biden calls a 'lid,' Democrats wet the bed — and Trump starts mocking." Judging from the tenor of the article, perhaps the authors themselves could be...

America stands in crisis today with urban rioting and political division. The crisis in America is at root a crisis in our educational system. As President Abraham Lincoln once said, "the philosophy of the school room in one generation with be the philosophy of government in the next." Taking Lincoln's quote forward 150 years, the theories of structural racism, critical race theory, Marxism, gender theory, revisionist history, queer theory, etc., are rapidly coming to bare in America's streets and the halls of government. The crisis in education has two facets: a crisis in civics and a crisis in science, technology,...

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death leaves an opening for the Republican president and Republican Senate to replacing a notorious pro-abortion, arch-liberal Supreme Court justice with a rock-ribbed, unflinching defender of young souls in utero. Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have made plain their intention to fill the vacated seat. Nothing short of a meteorite crashing into the Capitol dome will stop the President’s nominee from being confirmed. McConnell has herded the votes; Trump is giving no quarter to courtesies like making the pick contingent on November’s electoral outcome. Before the country enters a conservative counterpoise to the...

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem Lambs, Sheep, and Shepherds. Genesis 40 The Cupbearer and the Baker 40 Some time later, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their master, the king of Egypt. 2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker, 3 and put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the same prison where Joseph was confined. 4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he attended them. After they had been in custody for some time, 5 each of the two...
