MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace suggested on Tuesday that "maybe a reporter ends up in jail" during President Trump's second term during a discussion about whether or not House Democrats pursue impeachment. Wallace began by stressing how "important" the hearings of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller are on Wednesday and questioned the mindset of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who has been outspoken with her hesitancy to impeach the president. "I'm sure she has really good reasons, but if any of them are political, she'll be reaping what she sewed," Wallace said.

A while back, then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions was forced to recuse himself from the investigation into President Trump's campaign's supposed collusion with the Russians to steal the election from Hillary Clinton. The grounds for it? Sessions had shaken hands and made small talk with Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak, meaning, he had a conflict of interest. Sessions, being the honorable naif that he was, obliged. Well, now the shoe is on the other tootsie. House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff, who's vowed a kitchen-sink style investigation against President Trump, (now that no Russian collusion has been found) has been caught in photographs taken...

The ADL’s Soros, Hamas and Hitler Anti-Israel Conference The ADL is becoming a threat to Jews. January 25, 2019 Daniel Greenfield Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. Jonathan Greenblatt introduced the ADL’s Never is Now 2018 conference with a full-throated defense of George Soros. It was a strange decision for an organization that had once criticized the radical anti-Israel billionaire’s defenses of anti-Semitism. But under Greenblatt, a former Obama official, the ADL had turned sharply to the left and Never is Now,...

In “The Story: A Reporter’s Journey,” which hit book store shelves Tuesday, April 7, former New York Times reporter Judith Miller revealed in the final chapter that she now believes that she was induced by then-Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald to give false testimony in the 2007 trial of I. “Lewis” Scooter Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney. Given that Fitzgerald’s three-and-a-half year-long investigation and prosecution of Libby riveted the nation’s capital and generated vast news coverage implying, when not outright declaring, that the Bush administration lied the nation into war, one might think that recantation...

Speculation is mounting (except, of course, among the “professional” press), as to the identities of six of the eight individuals included in the Libby subpoena to The New York Times (see Clarice Feldman’s piece here). The Times deemed the identities of only two of the parties worthy of release, former CIA director George Tenet and former White House Spokesman Ari Fleischer. The names of the other six remain elusive

Tuesday, Oct. 19, 2004 1:09 p.m. EDT Billionaires Secretly Met in Aspen to Defeat Bush In the days following the Democratic National Convention in Boston this past August, several billionaire Democratic activists secretly met at the famed Aspen Institute in Colorado. The purpose of their clandestine meeting was "to use their fortunes to engineer the defeat of President George W. Bush," The New Yorker magazine reports in its most recent edition. Details of the meeting remain sketchy, but the magazine described the Aspen conference this way: "Five billionaires joined half a dozen liberal leaders in a lengthy conversation about the...

"My time in the Obama administration turned out to be a deeply disillusioning experience." It was close to midnight on Jan. 20, 2009, and I was about to go to sleep when my iPhone beeped. There was a new text message. It was from Richard Holbrooke. It said, "Are you up, can you talk?" When I called, he told me that Barack Obama had asked him to serve as envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan. He would work out of the State Department, and he wanted me to join his team. "No one knows this yet. Don't tell anyone. Well, maybe...

Two days ago I made the drive along Peak to Peak Hwy (Colorado state Hwy 72) from Boulder Country, into Larimer County, to Rocky Mountain National park and back home. Here are some of the photos from the high country, or as I know it 'my backyard'. This is from Peak to Peak Hwy near Allenspark in Boulder County. The 'highest peak' from this perspective is 13,900+ ft. Mt Meeker and just to the left 14,000+ ft. Longs Peak.--- Getting closer.--- More Apsens in full 'bloom'.--- Hillside from the Wild Basin recreation area just inside Rocky Mountain National Park. (Far...

Last weekend (Fri. Sept. 15th to Sunday Sept. 17th) we went to Steamboat Springs, Colorado for the first time to hike, run, play golf and have a look at local real estate. On the way we captured the changing of the Aspen trees on digital camera along with a couple of shots of Steamboat Springs ski resort after they had about 8 inches of snow on Storm Peak and Mt. Werner during the day on Saturday. Aspens from Poudre Canyon on Highway 14 in Larimer County WNW of Ft. Collins - --- A couple of pics of Steamboat Springs ski...
