On Friday, Roger Stone, a political operative who had worked with Presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, was convicted by a federal jury on seven counts ranging from lying to Congress to obstruction of justice to witness tampering. His sentencing will take place on February 6, 2020 and Stone could face up to 50 years in prison. Prosecutors argued that Stone pressured radio talk show host Randy Credico not to testify before the House Intelligence Committee, which was investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election. Stone claimed that Credico was his source for WikiLeaks information, but the talk...

President Donald J. Trump has decided to restore convicted SEAL Edward Gallagher’s pay grade to chief petty officer, overriding a decision last week by the Navy’s top admiral, Fox News reports “This president recognizes the injustice of it,” Pete Hegseth said during Fox and Friends after speaking with the president. “You train someone to go fight and kill the enemy. Then they go kill the enemy the way someone doesn’t like, and then we put them in jail or we throw the book at them.”.

White House senior adviser Jared Kushner swiped back at Joe Biden after the former vice president said it was "improper" for Kushner and his wife Ivanka Trump to serve as top White House officials. "He's entitled to his opinion, but a lot of the work that the President's had me doing over the last three years has actually been cleaning up the messes that Vice President Biden left behind," Kushner said in an interview with Israel Channel 13's Barak Ravid released on Tuesday. Kushner specifically pointed to criminal justice reform, which the Trump administration passed. "(It) rolled back a lot...

Psalm 94 94 O Lord, the God who avenges! O God who avenges, reveal your splendor. 2 Rise up, O judge of the earth. Pay back the proud. 3 O Lord, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked celebrate? 4 They spew out threats and speak defiantly; all the evildoers boast. 5 O Lord, they crush your people; they oppress the nation that belongs to you. 6 They kill the widow and the resident foreigner, and they murder the fatherless. 7 Then they say, “The Lord does not see this; the God of Jacob does not take...

Vanity, Vanity, Vanity, but inquiring minds need to know. Which of the 4 conservative justices voted not to hear the case involving the issue of Maryland High School student Caleigh Wood, who refused to take part in a school assignment to write the Islamic conversion prayer. My guess it was Roberts, but you never know, and regardless of how I try I cannot find out which Justice it was. Anyone know which Supreme Court justice, or more, decided to vote with the Godless liberals not to hear the case?

President Donald Trump will join South Carolina’s U.S. Sen. Tim Scott and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris when he receives the Bipartisan Justice Award on Friday ahead of his remarks at Benedict College, an historic black college in Columbia. A White House official said Friday that Trump will receive the Bipartisan Justice Award, “the highest honor given yearly to a public servant who demonstrated the ability to work across the aisle to achieve meaningful progress reforming” the federal criminal justice system. The award - presented to Trump by the 20/20 Bipartisan Justice Center, the organization in charge of this week’s...

Posted on October 21, 2019October 21, 2019 by Msgr. Charles Pope What I Saw While Serving on a Grand Jury (part two) In yesterday’s post, I wrote about my experience serving on a grand jury, describing in particular the darkness we jurors had to face each day as we listened to testimony about and video of some horrible crimes. In today’s piece, I’d like to point out some light I saw in the midst of that darkness, some positive elements of my experience.For much of my life I have looked somewhat askance at lawyers, despite the fact that my...

Richard Huckle, one of Britain's worst paedophiles, has been killed in his prison cell in the north of England, sources have confirmed. The 33-year-old, who was serving 22 life sentences, at Full Sutton Prison in East Yorkshire, was found dead in his cell at the weekend. Huckle, from Ashford in Kent, was jailed in 2016, after being arrested on his return to the UK from Malaysia, where he had been living and abusing children.

As the Impeach-o-crats continue in their rabid quest to remove our beloved President Trump from office WITHOUT BASIS, I am reminded of the NUMEROUS FELONIES AND OTHER HIGH CRIMES committed by these evil America-haters for which they've ESCAPED JUSTICE. I am asking my fellow FReepers to help me compile THE DEFINITIVE ITEMIZED LIST of Democrats who've ESCAPED JUSTICE for their serious crimes, knowing THEIR Deep State media will continue to PROTECT THEM BY COMPLETELY IGNORING THEIR CRIMES AND DISTRACTING US WITH FAKE ACCUSATIONS ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP. Do we have a Two-Tiered justice system in the United States? Yes. Do our...

[Summary:] Sep. 15, 2019 - 5:21 - Louisiana Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert and former Army National Guard Sgt. Derrick Miller on the group's upcoming trip to Leavenworth Prison.

The former deputy director’s FBI coddled Clinton and addled Trump. Now he seeks clemency . . . even as he sues the Justice Department. Hillary Clinton checked every box for a violation of the Espionage Act. So much so that, in giving her a pass, the FBI figured it better couch her conduct as “extremely careless,” rather than “grossly negligent.” The latter description was stricken from an earlier draft of then-director James Comey’s remarks because it is, verbatim, the mental state the statute requires for a felony conviction. It wouldn’t do to have an “exoneration” statement read like a felony...

There are never any discussions on how to prosecute these horrific crimes. How about this for a start? All thoughts are welcome. Any shootings with five or more people killed where there is evidence with NO reasonable doubt e.g. manifesto and video evidence, there will be a jury trial in federal court within six months of the murders. And then one and only one appeal directly to the US Supreme Court that is automatically moved to the top of the docket. The ruling on appeal must be issued within three months. If the verdict is upheld, automatic sentence of death...

Obama administration weaponized government agencies for political purposes, abused their power, and misused the justice system Was anybody surprised when the Department of Justice announced they were not going to prosecute James Comey for leaking confidential documents? What was the underlying excuse for not prosecuting Comey? According to the Washington Examiner, “Justice Department prosecutors declined to go after Comey because of a lack of evidence Comey ‘intentionally’ violated the law….” That “intent” thing sure sounds familiar. Hillary broke the law and Comey refused to prosecute her because she didn’t intend to break the law. This time Comey broke the law...

Massachusetts State Police are on the lookout for a man who reportedly flashed a woman while she was jogging on a public trail. The incident took place around 7:30 a.m. on July 18 along the Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The suspect allegedly exposed himself the to victim who was running in the opposite direction, according to the press release. A video of the incident that was released by police shows the moments after the alleged flashing when two appear to exchange words as they pass one another, running in opposite directions. Seconds later, the victim turns around to confront...

Former Vice President Joe Biden unveiled a plan on Tuesday to reform the U.S. criminal justice system by lowering incarceration rates, ending the federal death penalty and eliminating racial disparities in how people are sentenced. Biden, the Democratic front-runner in the party’s nominating contest to take on Republican President Donald Trump in next year’s election, has faced criticism over his support for a 1994 crime bill that some say contributed to mass incarceration, especially of black men. That bill, signed into law by former Democratic President Bill Clinton when Biden was a U.S. senator, greatly increased funding for the construction...

A Georgia woman exhibited symptoms of Trump Derangement Syndrome last Monday after she drove off a highway road through a barbed wire fence to access and vandalize a Trump 2020 sign. The incident was caught on George Bentley’s security camera. Bentley, a Cobb County resident, told WSB-TV he took extra care to protect his property (and sign) and couldn’t find a good reason anyone would attempt to destroy his signpost. “It's a free country, and we love America, and we're happy with the guy that's in there now,” Bentley said. “We want him to be elected again in 2020, and...

What happened to Christine Blasey-Ford? Nobody cares, now that Democrats lost the PR battle. As it turns out, Blasey-Ford is indeed a lying skank, as Kevin Jackson tweeted. If Fox News had any guts, they would apologize to Jackson and beg him to return to Fox Snooze. But when have you known Leftists to admit their mistakes? And Blasey-Ford was a mistake. A big mistake for Democrats. As Rush Limbaugh noted, her name should be Blasey-Fraud. The only good part of this story is that democrats failed to ruin Kavanaugh. But they should be held accountable for their willingness to...
