Bush, oil and the Taliban Two French authors allege that before Sept. 11, the White House put oil interests ahead of national security. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Nina Burleigh Feb. 8, 2002 | PARIS -- In a new book, "Bin Laden: The Forbidden Truth," two French intelligence analysts allege the Clinton and Bush administrations put diplomacy before law enforcement in dealing with the al-Qaida threat before Sept. 11, in order to maintain smooth relations with Saudi Arabia and to avoid disrupting the oil market. The book, which has become a bestseller...

What can hidden "Resistance" leader, former President Barack Obama and his handpicked protege for the 2016 presidential election possibly do to the USA from their D.C. underground activism network? Send a 2,000-and-still-growing march of Hondurans on the U.S.—with a Nov. 6 Midterm Election Day arrival just for sport! The marching Hondurans are marching on America now, because Obama and Clinton planned it that way since as far back as 2009. In trying to take down President Donald Trump, any port will do for activism-crazed Barack Obama and hopelessly embittered- in-defeat Hillary Clinton. "Obama and his then Secretary of State Hillary...

The "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation represents one of the most concerning abuses of power in modern American history. What began as opposition research funded by political opponents evolved into a full-scale intelligence and law enforcement operation targeting Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign and later administration. What did John Brennan do?The following individuals played pivotal roles in what many now view as a coordinated effort to surveil, delegitimize, and ultimately remove a duly elected president using the powers of government agencies. Their actions reveal a troubling pattern of bias, conflicts of interest, and legal abuses that threaten our entire Constitutional order. 1....

Former senior defense officials issued stark warnings to lawmakers Thursday about intensifying threats posed by unattributed drone incursions and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) reported around the U.S. — particularly over military bases, assets, and nuclear facilities. “I don’t think the public is aware of the extent of our airspace vulnerabilities and failures, and the degree to which they’ve already been exploited and are being exploited today, and the challenge that we face in trying to sort this out,” Christopher Mellon, the former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence, said during an event hosted on Capitol Hill by the UAP...

Former presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has sparked fresh facelift rumors after she was spotted sporting an enviably-taut visage.(snip) Hillary, 77, looked taut faced and wrinkle free in the new pictures of the two, while Bill looked his 78 years. Bystanders cheered as they left the eatery. Her new look comes after speculation that she went under the knife before beginning her campaign for the 2016 presidency. Journalist Edward Klein wrote in his book 'Unlikeable: The Problem with Hillary', that husband Bill had 'wanted her to get a face-lift' before her campaign. Klein wrote that Bill told her that 'she couldn't...

A year after his presidential ambitions collapsed, Gov. Ron DeSantis and his wife Casey can no longer lay claim to the future of the Republican Party. And in Florida, even their present is in jeopardy. Once firmly in his corner, many Sunshine State Republicans have lately turned on DeSantis, stymying his agenda and frustrating him to no end. At the same time, Casey DeSantis, long regarded as a political force in her own right, is encountering quiet but firm resistance as she lays the groundwork for a potential run to succeed her husband — a campaign that would pit her...

A delegation from a Chinese Communist Party-run think tank identified by the U.S. government as carrying out “undercover intelligence gathering” operations and seeking to coerce foreign actors into backing the Chinese Communist Party’s “preferred policies” met with Hillary Clinton and a host of high-level military leaders during the Obama-Biden administration, The National Pulse can reveal.The exchange with the controversial group – China Association for International Friendly Contact (CAIFC) – occurred in October of 2009, while Clinton was serving as Secretary of State. The CAIFC delegation, composed of China’s former top military leaders, visited Clinton after stopping in Hawaii to meet...

Hillary Clinton does not have a reputation for honesty. Indeed, ever since she burst onto the political scene, the one guarantee with Hillary was that you couldn’t trust her. Whole articles have been published about the whoppers she’s told over the decades (see, e.g., here and here). One thing, though, that’s always seemed to be true is her claim to have graduated from Yale Law School. After hearing her latest pronouncement, though, I must admit to having my doubts about that statement, too. One of the things that’s pretty clear in the United States Constitution, which has traditionally been part...

The deadly Oklahoma City bombing occurred on April 19, 1995, after a truck bomb exploded at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, which claimed the lives of 168 people, including 19 children. While delivering his speech at the ceremony, Clinton’s hands appear to shake uncontrollably. Clinton previously addressed the hand tremors and said he does not have Parkinson’s. “If I had Parkinson’s, I wanted to know so I could prepare. And I had it tested and the doctor said ‘no.’ He says it’s just a normal aging phenomenon,” Clinton previously said.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned "if they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now." Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Ma) warned that "if President Donald Trump's administration can deport Kilmar Abrego-Garcia, they can 'disappear' you. This is the time for the American people to start fighting back for our country." Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mi) said "I did three town halls in a 24 hour period. One was in a very conservative part of my district that voted for Trump,...

Aide: Clinton Unleashed bin Laden Chuck Noe Bill Clinton ignored repeated opportunities to capture Osama bin Laden and his terrorist allies and is responsible for the spread of terrorism, one of the ex-president’s own top aides charges. Mansoor Ijaz, who negotiated with Sudan on behalf of Clinton from 1996 to 1998, paints a portrait of a White House plagued by incompetence, focused on appearances rather than action, and heedless of profound threats to national security. Ijaz also claims Clinton passed on an opportunity to have Osama bin Laden arrested. Sudanese President Omar Hassan Ahmed Bashir, hoping to have terrorism sanctions ...

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has thrown her support behind Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the accused MS-13 gang member and alleged domestic abuser who was deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration. “Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism,” the former secretary of state wrote in a Wednesday X post: “If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone,” Clinton continued. “Americans of conscience must stand against this now.” Abrego Garcia, 29, entered the United States illegally when he was 16...

The US Air Force once made plans for a 'gay bomb' that would use chemical aphrodisiacs to make enemy soldiers 'irresistibly attractive to one another.' The bizarre plan, formulated by the military's Wright Laboratory in 1994, was part of a six-year non-lethal weapons development project costing $7.5 million that was ultimately scrapped. A three-page document obtained by the Sunshine Project, an anti-biological weapons organization, details the laboratory's proposal for a bomb 'that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soldiers to become gay.' The scientists theorized that this would make their units 'break down' because 'all their soldiers became irresistibly...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher discussed his meeting with President Donald Trump and said that Trump was very receptive to criticism and said, “I voted for Clinton and Obama, but I would never feel comfortable talking to them the way I was able to talk with Donald Trump.” But “it doesn’t matter who he is at a private dinner with a comedian, it matters who he is on the world stage.” Maher began by saying that Trump was much different than the person who had tweeted negatively about him the day before the meeting and...

Kamala Harris has reportedly consulted Hilary Clinton over whether she should run for California governor. The former vice-president is said to have drawn on the expertise of the former secretary of state as she weighs up her options over her next political move. Speculation has grown in recent months that Ms Harris is planning to mount a bid to replace Gavin Newsom, whose gubernatorial term comes to an end in November next year. (snip) Behind closed doors, the former Democratic candidate has allegedly been hosting gatherings of donors and speaking on the phone with trusted operatives and advisers. Mrs Clinton,...

In a recent social media incident, Lauren Young, a Democratic campaign strategist known for her involvement in Hillary Clinton’s campaign, sparked significant controversy with a Facebook post that suggested Iran should target President Donald Trump at his Mar-A-Lago residence. This provocative statement has raised alarms about the implications of such rhetoric and the broader narrative surrounding political discourse in the United States. Background of the Incident Lauren Young’s comments were made public through a tweet by the account Libs of TikTok, which highlighted her suggestion and branded the Democratic Party as "the party of violence." This incident has reignited discussions...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has joined Bluesky, following in the footsteps of former president Barack Obama, who made his first post on the platform last week. Clinton confirmed her Bluesky account's legitimacy in an Instagram story and a post on X. (snip) Though Bluesky's reach is smaller than that of the platform formerly known as Twitter, the open source network has north of 33 million users. But as Bluesky attracts high-profile users like Clinton and Obama, the platform is building more legitimacy as a competitor to X.

It was the perfect opening. Politically, it was the equivalent of grilling a big, fat, juicy steak in the middle of the African savannah — and then being mystified by the sudden appearance of drooling predators. C’mon, folks — use your heads! With a power vacuum that big and that tempting, it was only a matter of time. The Democratic Party is in total disarray. Nobody’s in charge! The Obama-Biden cabal has left the building, Pelosi has health issues, and Schumer is struggling to stave off a rebellion. It’s complete and utter chaos. Enter the Donkey version of Loki, the...

WTF?! Judge Boasberg, the activist judge BLOCKING Trump from deporting violent gang members, intentionally DELAYED the release of Hillary Clinton’s emails until after the 2016 election He’s also now “coincidentally” presiding over the Signal case This is RIGGED! How do people not see that?

Per @POTUS directive, I have revoked former President Joe Biden’s security clearance, and revoked clearances and access to classified information for Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Fiona Hill, and Alexander Vindman.
