How the Pentagon failed to sell Afghan government’s bunk ‘Bountygate’ story to US intelligence agenciesAnother New York Times Russiagate bombshell turns out to be a dud, as dodgy stories spun out by Afghan intelligence and exploited by the Pentagon ultimately failed to convince US intelligence agencies.The New York Times dropped another Russiagate bombshell on June 26 with a sensational front-page story headlined, “Russia Secretly Offered Afghan Militants Bounties to Kill U.S. Troops, Intelligence Says.” A predictable media and political frenzy followed, reviving the anti-Russian hysteria that has excited the Beltway establishment for the past four years. But a closer look...

Well, this is a new one. On Wednesday, the Republican operatives behind the Lincoln Project released another ad attacking President Trump — in fact another one tied to the growing scandal over Russian bounties for slain U.S. troops in Afghanistan, indirectly — though this one's a little different: It's entirely in Russian. In case you were curious, the ad "is actually in good Russian and voiced over by a good Russian actor," says Russian-born U.S. journalist Julia Ioffe. The Twitter promo for the ad is in English, though. "Add 'America First' to the laundry list of scams Trump has sold...

President Trump on Monday suggested without evidence that his predecessor, former President Obama, committed treason in connection with the investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign’s contacts with Russia.“Treason. Treason. It’s treason,� Trump said in an interview with CBN News. The president did not elaborate on the specific charge but repeated his assertion that the previous administration “spied� on his campaign in the course of the Russia probe.“They’d been spying on my campaign,� Trump told CBN News’s David Brody. “Turned out I was right. Let’s see what happens to them now.�Trump signaled he was looking forward to the results of U.S. Attorney...

I’d like to give a big shout out to John Hinderaker’s “Trump Is Right” post. It’s a reflection on Ben Domenech’s oval office interview with the President for the Federalist. How refreshing to have someone discussing our President’s virtues rather than his flaws. Someday the world will recognize this President’s courage and strength. Although the entire world seems to be against him, still he persists. Until then our job is to stand with our lion. Because remember… Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

Newly released documents written by Peter Strzok in 2017 proving that former President Barack Obama was active in the scheme to undermine the Trump Administration prompted House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jerrod Nadler (D-NY) to demand an end to the coup investigation being conducted by U.S. Attorney John Durham. "James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, Peter Strzok, and all the rest were working at the explicit direction of President Obama," Nadler said. "Whatever so-called crimes they may have committed under orders from the President were fully authorized. President Obama is immune because as President Nixon pointed out, under the Constitution if...

Everyone needs to cool their heels on this Flynn dismissal order for a bit. While we are all very happy that the three-judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals ordered District Judge Emmet Sullivan to end his abusive treatment of General Flynn in its order Wednesday, it is a tad too soon to just assume Sullivan will simply accede to the order and dismiss the case. General Flynn himself is on with Rush Limbaugh confirming this is the case as I write this, in fact. Sullivan is clearly a tool of the deep state, and we must remember...

Peter Strzok notes from 1/4/17 released in Flynn case: Discussion among Obama, Comey, Yates, Biden, and Susan Rice. Biden: "Logan Act" Obama: "Have the right people on" Flynn case. Comey: The Flynn/Kislyak calls "appear legit."

Maltese Professor Joseph Mifsud was activated by compartmented Israeli intelligence allies of President Obama. Walid Phares recently exposed and admitted he was targeted by the Mueller probe as the fifth [redacted] name in the August 2, 2017, authorizing the scope memo provided by former DAG Rod Rosenstein. Rod Rosenstein recently admitted he signed the scope memo as it was presented to him by the special counsel team without asking any questions about it. Whatever the Mueller team asked for, Rosenstein granted without any interference. That was his testimony. If you go back to the original assembly of candidate Trump’s 2016...

SEATTLE -- Following days of violent confrontations with protesters, police in Seattle have largely withdrawn from a neighborhood that protesters have transformed into a festival-like scene that has President Donald Trump fuming. Trump taunted Gov. Jay Inslee and Mayor Jenny Durkan about the situation on Twitter and said the city had been taken over by “anarchists." “Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will,” Trump tweeted. The “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” sprung up after police on Monday removed barricades near the East Precinct and basically abandoned the structure after officers used tear gas, pepper spray and...

Tucker Carlson is brilliant in his interpretation of political events over this last two weeks. He shows us how the defund the police policy of Black Lives Matter is not a genuine effort to get rid of the police, but the BLM movement is moving to convert the Polcie to Democrat Party controlled institutions across the country, just like they control many municipal institutions and communities across the country. This is about getting rid of all police departments and staff who support President Trump, and the populist movement. Once this is accomplished, telling the truth and speaking ones progressive politics...

There appears to be the equivalent of a "How To Overthrow America" training manual (my description of this article) in the The Atlantic right now (excerpts below).It assumes that rational people naturally consider Trump a dictator, cites with approval the strategy behind the overthrow of the Ukraine, and sees Esper's public repudiation of Trump's authority as signs of progress toward the overthrow of US, which he calls "the revolution" to topple a dictator. While reading it - the Deep State's strategy glares from the text. It describes rather concisely why the Deep State is cutting vigorously at oaths of office...

MSNBC announced on Friday that it has hired former FBI lawyer Lisa Page as an NBC News and MSNBC national security and legal analyst. On Friday night, President Trump blasted MSNBC's latest hiring decision. "You must be kidding??? This is a total disgrace!" Trump tweeted. Page made her debut as an MSNBC analyst during "Deadline: White House" alongside former Mueller probe prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, who appears to have been rehired by the network after they severed ties after it was announced he was hosting a Biden fundraiser, which was ultimately canceled. Both Page and Weissmann offered legal analysis on the...

Organizers say 1 million people are coming to protest in DC this weekend.If coronavirus is really as dangerous as the media claimed just 3 weeks ago, this is basically a biological attack on the nation's capital. https://twitter.com/Harlan/status/1268679251475206145?s=20  

This is a live Facebook post that Candace Owens did. Thought it was interesting and wanted to share with everyone!

General John Kelly could be the next retired general to rebuke Donald Trump for calling in active duty military in the midst of George Floyd protests – as the former chief of staff called the president 'nasty' for his comments about General Jim Mattis. Kelly, a retired Marine Corps general, defended Trump's former Defense secretary on Thursday after Mattis publicly criticized the president's handling of the nationwide protests. He also shot down Trump's claim that he fired Mattis in 2018.

  I looked up the definition of coup:“a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government�In DC this weekend? I just don’t see that coming. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I knew pieces were there for the past few years- I just never knew a physical coup effort would HAPPEN until yesterday. I'm shocked to write those words! All is at stake now but the public finds it even harder than I do to accept, and I've been following the build up for a few years.Lockdown states for no reason - the public becomes passive.Work to strip the military from Trump by...
