Svetlana Lokhova@RealSLokhova October 27, 2019I flew to NYC at my own expense to give very important testimony to the American people on Maria Bartiromo’s show. I stayed in a hotel near the studio, again at my own expense. This was during the Special Counsel Durham investigation, which I assisted.I am an eyewitness to the Grand Conspiracy against President Trump, which started in 2015, directed by Obama and implemented by the CIA, MI6, the FBI, and the media.I spoke to Maria and her producers for weeks in advance to make sure they understood the importance of the story. I was not...

Tens of thousands of people participated in demonstrations across Spain this week to express solidarity with the North African enclave of Ceuta and to criticize the central government’s management of a large-scale migrant influx that began in late July. The rallies, called by the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces, took place on Ceuta Day and occurred in the enclave itself as well as in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Zaragoza, Bilbao and numerous other cities. The protests follow a massive invasion of the enclave in late July. Between July 30 and 31, authorities recorded approximately 72,000 people crossing from Morocco...

Assistant to the President Peter Navarro has been alongside Donald Trump for more than a decade, as a trade policy architect, relentless defender and even an adviser sent to prison for refusing to violate the president's executive privilege.So when he received a text message in July from a star anchor at Fox News suggesting the storied TV network fancied by millions of conservatives might underplay a major address by the 47th president on election vulnerabilities, he sprung into action.The text message was from longtime Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo, host of the network's popular Sunday show, offering an explanation why...

CNN aired a graphic that incorrectly said feminist icon Gloria Steinem died in 2006 — just days after the network was forced to apologize for mistakenly using a photo of a Dolly Parton impersonator in its coverage of the country legend’s death. The embarrassing graphic appeared during Thursday’s edition of “CNN News Central” as anchor Sara Sidner reported on Steinem’s death at age 92. But the on-screen tribute showed Steinem’s lifespan as “1934-2006” — shaving two decades off the famed activist’s life. The error was first spotted by X user Drew Kerr and the FTVLive newsletter. The blunder came just...

A Burning Man attendee died after experiencing a ‘medical emergency’ at the music festival, The Burning Man Project announced. Tens of thousands of ‘Burners’ flocked to the Nevada desert this year to engage in debauchery. Burning Man is a yearly drug-infested music and art festival in Northern Nevada, in Black Rock City. Attendees engage in sexually degenerate activities such as “whippings by a dominatrix priestess,” “circle jerks,” “c*ck fights” and orgies. Last year, a wicked dust storm kicked up on the first day of the festival and it ruined camp sites. Winds reached more than 45 miles per hour. This...

SNIP "This latest news comes on the heels of a blockbuster report from Status — which reported that Bartiromo’s sudden departure from the network on Thursday can be traced to an incident in July — when Fox Business management privately instructed senior employees not to lend credibility to claims Trump had made during a prime-time address about the 2020 election and China. Status’s Oliver Darcy reported that Bartiromo “spilled the secret” to the White House — an action which, according to Darcy, amounted to Bartiromo having “effectively betrayed her employer.” Byers reported that Bartiromo took a screenshot of guidance sent...

# PROLOGUE ## The Last File Thomas Rourke had always liked November in West Virginia. By then the hardwoods had given up most of their color, leaving the mountains stripped down to gray trunks, brown ridgelines and scattered stands of pine that seemed almost unnaturally green against everything around them. The first real snow was usually still a few weeks away, although there had been years when winter arrived early and buried the county before Thanksgiving. On most November nights, however, the temperature simply fell below freezing after dark, woodsmoke settled into the hollows, and the mountains grew quiet in...

"Fox News did not lose Maria Bartiromo in some mysterious “next chapter.” The network fired her. Then it hid behind a thank-you note and hoped nobody would ask why a woman who spent twelve and a half years building Fox Business a real audience vanished from the air after August 9."

In his day, Christ rebuked both the people and the religious leaders for having a total lack of discernment. “The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?” Mt....

An intern at a Florida mental health and addiction center allegedly had sex with a patient during therapy sessions – and cooked up excuses allowing him to leave the facility to romp at her mom’s home and even a local hospital, according to court documents. Michelle Luchau-Rebora appeared in court Wednesday wearing a green anti-suicide smock to face a charge of sexual misconduct by a psychotherapist – a third-degree felony that could lead to five years in prison, according to WPLG. She turned herself in after the patient – an otherwise unidentified 42-year-old man – reported her when she called...

Vice President Vance defended his relationship with right-wing media personality Tucker Carlson during Thursday’s White House press briefing, saying he won’t allow political disagreements to ruin friendships. Carlson this past week has said President Trump should be removed from office for “actively considering” preemptive nuclear strikes, while also saying he wouldn’t vote for former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), the GOP candidate in Michigan’s Senate race, “at gunpoint.” “Everybody knows that Tucker Carlson and I are friends, and I think it’s very obvious that Tucker has said some things that I disagree with,” Vance said when asked Thursday about people who...

A federal lawsuit claims the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office used the Flock cameras without a legitimate government purpose and in retaliation against the vet for exercising his First Amendment right. {...} Jones was subsequently arrested "for resisting and obstructing," according to a federal lawsuit he filed against the arresting officers and police department. But after being held in custody for five hours, he was released with no citations or criminal charges. An internal post-arrest memorandum reviewed by Reason revealed that Shayhorn's supervisor informed him shortly after the arrest that he'd, in fact, illegally stopped Jones, and he therefore could not...
