Those Deputy Attorney Generals in the Obama administration who signed the four FISC applications could well find themselves derailed by Barr's investigation. FISC abuse could top Watergate as USA's worst political scandalAttorney General William Barr’s announcement that he would be investigating alleged spying on the Trump 2016 election campaign has shocked the conflicted anti-Trump mainstream media and an increasingly beleaguered Democratic Party. The mainstream media has known of the spying allegation for years—but did nothing to investigate it—Fox News excepted—and continues to be in a state of total denial of what could prove to be America’s worst political scandal.

The Democrats, who rule their running dog media, excel at silencing their enemies and do it most every day U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib wants people to believe that she and other minority members of the Democrat Party have been used as tokens whenever the party wants to project an image of inclusiveness. That’s the S.O.S. message the Michigan Rep. Tweeted out on Saturday.

Last month, Chris Buskirk wrote a column for the Spectator USA describing Representative Devin Nunes as “a hero of the Republic.” It was well-deserved praise. Nunes, a Republican Congressman from a rural district in California was, until January, chairman of the House Permanent Special Committee on Intelligence (he is now the ranking member). Nunes has worked tirelessly for more than two years to expose what our masters in deep-state Washington would bury from the glare of public scrutiny: the evidence that the entire Trump-Russian collusion narrative was a partisan effort, first, to undermine the Trump presidential campaign and, when that...

Chiquita Khrushchev, a splendid nickname looking for a meme.  And now, thanks to a cool high-res pic of Nikita Khrushchev in a wheat field, it's here. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the biggest laugh since Jonathan Winters. They say Helen of Troy's face launched a thousand ships.  Well, AOC's crazy ideas have launch a million memes, stories, and YouTubes.  This bimbo con-artist is a walking poster for what's wrong with the Democrat party — and laughing at her idiotic ideas and exposing her frauds is absolutely our ticket to 2020. One horse-laugh is worth ten thousand syllogisms.  It is not only...

Bernie Sanders hit the campaign trail last week. In between rants about President Trump he was busy defending his Millionaire Democratic Socialist status:  "I didn't know it was a crime to write a good book, which turned out to be a best-seller,” the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate told a crowd in Gary, Indiana. “If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too,” he told the newspaper. Better yet, get an unrepentant terrorist to ghost write it for you and you can be President!            If I may, I’d like to add a tag-a-long to Bernie’s millionaire humble-brag:...

After reading a couple of favorable reviews of The Highwaymen at blogs that I am usually given to trust, I took a flyer on watching the movie – streaming video, of course, on my home computer. I can count the number of movies that I have made a deliberate effort to see in a theater over the last couple of years on the fingers of one hand and … well, wow. Just wow. Kevin Costner isn’t any Kenneth Branagh, or even a John Wayne – but he can act, especially given an intelligent and nuanced script, spare and understated direction,...

The Campaign Update Week in Review (Because The Campaign Never Ends) [The week just past as chronicled on the @GDBlackmon Twitter feed.] The week began with the bag of scum named Preet Bharara admitting he actively plotted to reverse the results of the 2016 elections after Donald Trump was elected. Things got much, much better from there.:

A new CBS show called “The Good Fight” issued a thinly veiled assassination order. They tweeted an image saying “assassinate president trump” and then put out a video rationalizing and justifying political violence. I don’t even know where to begin. The Secret Service needs to visit them immediately. CBS’s National Broadcast License should be revoked immediately and only returned conditionally when this show is off the air, the people in charge are fired and monitoring is put in place to ensure they don’t put out any more incitement to violence.

“Blessed Is He Who Comes in the Name of the Lord!” (Matthew 21:1-9)Here comes Jesus, riding into town. Like a boss. Well, maybe not like a boss. More like a servant, sitting on a donkey, a beast of burden, rather than on a war horse. Yet as he enters Jerusalem, Jesus is greeted like a king. Which he is, only not the kind you would expect. There are a lot of people pouring into Jerusalem at this time. There’s a big holiday coming up, Passover, and all the Jews are supposed to go to Jerusalem and to the temple for...

Donald J. Trump Verified account @realDonaldTrump Even the Democrats now say that our Southern Border is a Crisis and a National Emergency. Hopefully, we will not be getting any more BAD (outrageous) court decisions! Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to change our very dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only….The Radical Left always seems to have an Open Borders, Open Arms policy – so this should make them very happy! If the Radical Left Democrats all of a sudden don’t want the Illegal Migrants in...

It seems fitting to say the internet is the cabal's version of a Pandora's box. The public at large probably no longer questions whether something like a deep state is hiding major secrets from billions of normal people. The only questions have to do with what are the details. On Field McConnell's Abel Danger channel, Juan O. Savin brings fascinating details to this discussion. Starting at minute 8:19, he begins to discuss the significance of Donald Trump's involvement in the Obama birth certificate narrative, the role of the director of the Hawaii Department of Public Health and the apparently staged...

31,000 protesters estimated by the government this week, just over 80,000 by the Yellow Vests. In Paris the authorities gave 5000 as the number of protesters. The police stopped and checked people 9473 times in Paris according to their figures. They made 27 arrests. In among the protesters the leader of the Left political party in France, Jean-Luc Melenchon of "France Insubordinate". Melenchon tweeted he was there to defend "public freedoms" and the "right to protest". In the north at Lille more than 1000 Yellow Vests, prohibited from demonstrating in the city center. Video link......Police used tear gas on them...

Many places on the Internet continue to claim that bear spray is more effective at stopping bear attacks than firearms. There is no objective source for these claims. They are mostly based on a spurious comparison of the deterrent effects of bear spray on curious or food seeking bears compared to a selection of bear attacks where firearms were present, and sometimes used.  It is not a valid comparison.  Author Dave Smith explains the problem: Efficacy of Firearms for Bear Deterrence in Alaska and Efficacy of Bear Deterrent Spray in Alaska were 2 halves of a straw man argument...

VIDEO In August 2012, Rush Limbaugh was about to read one of my articles on the air. Unfortunately he seemed unable to find my name. In this video I recreate my attitude at the time I heard this on my car radio in a supermarket (where I was couponing) parking lot. Although the reactions you see in this video might seem way over the top, if anything, they probably underplay my reaction at the time as I BEGGED Rush to SAY MY NAME!!! Oh, and did he ever get to say my name? Well, watch the video and find out...

Ukrainian officials are confused. They don't understand why they are being thwarted in providing U.S. prosectors evidence that Democrats interfered in the 2016 U.S. election. Daily Wire reported that a senior Ukrainian official has launched an investigation into members of his government over an alleged plot to boost Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election. Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko told The Hill's John Solomon: "Today we will launch a criminal investigation about this and we will give legal assessment of this information." "Lutsenko is probing a claim from a member of the Ukrainian parliament that the director...

A Trump Administration proposal to send illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities spurred cries of dismay from Democrats. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif) called the idea “cruel and inhumane. Sanctuary cities are already struggling with the difficulties and expense of dealing with the newcomers who have come on their own. Living conditions are degraded, as anyone who has visited San Francisco recently may have discovered. It isn’t fair for the federal government to send us more of these people.” On the other hand, President Trump argues that “my proposal would more expeditiously get the illegal immigrants to places that vow to...

Speaking in a “Hollywood Reporter in Studio” interview, actor Robert De Niro, who has repeatedly stated his hatred for President Trump, enlarged his target to include Republicans in general, threatening, “We’re not gonna forget” that they supported Trump. De Niro also warned that if the Mueller report didn’t eventually give leftists what they wanted, “There's going to be a lot of mass demonstrations, a lot of protests.” The segment of the interview dealing with Trump started with the interviewer asking De Niro about his performance as Special Counsel Robert Mueller on “Saturday Night Live.” De Niro grandly stated, "I consider...

I am hereby awarding my 2019 Award for the “Best Use of Alinsky’s Rule #4: "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules" to President Trump. I know it’s still early but the President’s plan to resettle “refugees” in sanctuary cities cannot be topped.In one short tweet he’s exposed every progressive twit in America, along with all their talking points, for the pack of hypocritical NIMBYs they are.Because every Progressive Democrat worth their salt has gone on record praising the virtues of “undocumented” immigrants, who they refuse to call “illegal.” How many times have they told us...

VIDEO The liberals went berserk immediately after Attorney General William Barr claimed that he thought the Deep State was spying on the Donald Trump presidential campaign.

Democrats are dangerous. They will say anything to win an election. They have run out of ideas. They neither share in our founding fathers' dream nor believe in it. They are dangerous because they are a dying party. Democrats are dangerous. They are not your father’s Democrats. They don’t believe in anything your parents believed in. They scream and yell or sit on the floor if they don’t get their way. What was once a small group of radicals in the sixties has now completely taken over the party. I don’t think there is a lucid member left. While the...
