Rep. Liz Cheney said Sunday anti-Trump text messages exchanged between then-FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page reminded her of a coup and suggested it could be treason. “I think what is really crucially important to remember here is that you had Strzok and Page who were in charge of launching this investigation and they were saying things like, 'We must stop this president, we need an insurance policy against this president,'” the Wyoming Republican said during an interview with ABC News' “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” "That in my view when you have people that are in the highest...

Sunday night’s epic Trump v Clinton debate had all fireworks of a WWE match and the no-holds-barred vitriol of an everything-at-stake Roman gladiator fight to the death, and the line of the night, given by Donald Trump, made it abundantly clear to Hillary just what IS at stake – for her at least. The line came about 20 minutes in, when Trump responded to Hillary Clinton’s “it’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country.” with a droll “Because you’d be in jail.” The line drew the...

As President Trump ordered the intelligence community and others to fully cooperate with DOJ Attorney General William Barr in his investigation into the FBI’s probe of the 2016 presidential election, a key piece of evidence may reside in the early unmasking of Americans private communications, according to Sara Carter. Carter pointed this out in her appearance Thursday night on Hannity, with guest host Dan Bongino. Carter noted former UN Ambassador Samantha Power who unmasked nearly 300 people. These names will surprise Americans if they were to be made public, according to Carter. Earlier, Carter reported on this news site...

In December 2015 a report surfaced that Barack Obama intercepted communications between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US lawmakers. The Obama White House targeted Netanyahu because he opposed their insane nuclear deal with the Iranian regime. Obama later ordered Secretary of State John Kerry and UN Ambassador Samantha Power to snub Netanyahu at the UN. The Obama administration spent $350,000 trying to oust Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from office. In May 2011 Barack Obama urged Israel to hand over half of Jerusalem, the Wailing Wall, The Temple Mount, Old Jerusalem, and the tomb of Jesus Christ to the...

Full Header: "An insider at the San Francisco psychiatrist association convention gives us a whiff of why they're called 'shrinks'" Remember the golden era of blogging, around 2005 or so, when blogging was really good? Back then, people who were experts, or else really, really, observant, blogged with photos and told us all about the world around them, observing the absurdities the media was missing. Think of the all-time greats, such as Zombietime, or Tim Blair, or well, you probably have some favorites. It's not there much anymore, but happily, there are still some instances of this kind of blogging...

Sometimes you write about the most obvious thing in the world because it is the most important thing. Reaction to the outcome of Robert Mueller’s investigation shows Americans again how divided we are. If you are more or less of the left, you experienced the probe as a search for truth that would restore the previous world of politics. Instead the traitor got away with it and you feel destabilized, deflated. If you are of the Trumpian right, it was from the beginning an attempted coup, the establishment using everything it had to remove a force it could not defeat...

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter once worked with a Romanian businessman who was convicted and imprisoned following an investigation over his real estate dealings. **SNIP** According to the New York Times, the younger Biden increased his international business efforts during his father’s second term as vice president and began associating with figures about whom the U.S. or its ally nations were suspicious. Hunter Biden reportedly began advising Gabriel Popoviciu, a Romanian businessman said to have opened the country's first Pizza Hut restaurant, who came under authorities’ scrutiny over his real estate dealings. **SNIP** Other reports concerning the son...

Considering the upcoming declassification window…between Trump’s state visit in Japan (5/25 – 5/28) and the state visit with the U.K (6/3 – 6/5). Bucket Five – Intelligence documents that were presented to the Gang of Eight in 2016 that pertain to the FISA application used against U.S. person Carter Page; including all exculpatory intelligence documents that may not have been presented to the FISA Court. Presumably this would include the recently revealed State Dept Kavalac email; and the FBI transcripts from wiretaps of George Papadopoulos (also listed in Carter Page FISA). Now that we have significant research files on the...

If the Jewish delegation in the House of Representatives were to vote on opening impeachment proceedings today, President Donald Trump would probably be safe. A tally by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency shows that only five of the 25 Jewish House Democrats support launching an impeachment inquiry at this point. Nine are on the record against impeachment (at least for now) and eight appear to be on the fence. Three — one veteran Congress member and two freshmen — have somehow managed to keep mum. It’s safe to say that the two Jewish Republicans — Lee Zeldin of New York and...

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler had to receive medical attention Friday after a health scare at an event in New York City. Despite reports that the powerful New York Democrat appeared to pass out, his office said he merely felt ill but did not faint. A spokesman for Nadler told Fox News that the congressman is “okay” and “seems to have been dehydrated,” describing the room as “very warm.” Nadler, 71, was speaking at a press conference on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, alongside 2020 Democratic hopeful New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, when the incident happened....

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) You seriously just cannot make this stuff up. – In the minds of any thinking and honest and well-meaning person, an effort to declassify a bunch of documents so that the American people can judge for themselves the truth about any matter is an admirable, even patriotic act of public transparency. But for Democrat politicians in Washington, DC, and Adam Schiff specifically, that’s not the narrative. Not the narrative at all. I kid you not, the bug-eyed, pencil-necked Congressman from California (because where else would he be from?) actually told...

The New York federal judge who ruled on Wednesday that the Trump administration must comply with two subpoenas from the House Financial Services and Intelligence Committees has donated in the past to a slew of big-name Democrats -- including two who currently sit on those committees, according to federal election filings. After an hour of oral arguments, Barack Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos ruled the subpoenas to Deutsche Bank and Capital One have "a legitimate legislative purpose," and that Trump was unlikely to prevail in a lawsuit to quash the requests. Judges have the option to recuse themselves if...

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough is pathetically begging billionaire Tom Steyer to “get” Attorney General William Barr and have him disbarred. Scarborough used a chunk of his show, “Morning Joe,” to push his partisan opinions and begged Steyer to take a break from pushing impeachment and instead get Barr disbarred. Here’s Scarborough’s full remarks: Mika, a lot of people might start talking about impeachment. That’s a very long process. I think at the very least, you see all these ads by Tom Steyer talking about impeach President Trump. I tell you, I tell you something that could be done more quickly...

More evidence that Joe Scarborough has descended deep into the liberal fever swamp. Now he's calling on a leftist billionaire with a fixation on impeaching President Trump to shell out for a phalanx of lawyers to get Attorney General Bill Barr disbarred. Tom Steyer is the left-wing billionaire in question. He has poured tens of millions of dollars into TV ads demanding that President Trump be impeached. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough called on Steyer to direct his efforts toward having Attorney General Bill Barr disbarred. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Conservative filmmakers are reportedly working on a stage play based on text exchanges between former FBI agent Peter Strzok and lawyer Lisa Page, who famously had an affair before Strzok was removed from special counsel Robert Mueller's team. Filmmakers have planned a live reading next month of the play, which based on the pair's anti-Trump text messages, three sources familiar told Politico. They reportedly hope President Trump will go to the reading of the play titled “FBI Lovebirds: Undercovers.” “We’re lobbying the White House hard,” one production source told Politico. “We are being told the president loves the idea of...

Political watchdog Judicial Watch has uncovered documents containing email conversation threads between top Department of Justice and State Department officials, in which they discuss "targeting" President Trump with Steele Dossier material.Four pages of documents from the U.S. Department of Justice have been released by Judicial Watch.The docs show a conversation between former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of European, former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, and Eurasian Affairs Kathleen Kavalec, discussing using material from the unverified dossier to target Donald Trump.

<p>President Donald Trump showed Democratic congressional leaders the back of his hand on Wednesday, ending a planned meeting on infrastructure legislation before it began and venting publicly instead about their vows to investigate him and possibly impeach him.</p> <p>House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had accused him hours earlier of presiding over a 'cover-up.'</p>

[snip] How far is too far? A new movie project being presented during the Cannes Film Festival's Market has added itself the conversation. It's called When Women Rule the World and the poster image — circulating at the Cannes Market and in trade publications including The Hollywood Reporter — features a bikini-clad woman (a Melania Trump-type character called Maria Putin, played by actress Anna Hera) holding two decapitated heads. One is bloodied up to look like Trump in a Make America Great Again hat and a shaggy blond wig. The other, a gray-skinned, bug-eyed zombie. "Meet the First Lady of...

And as Democrats in congress continue their siege of the Trump administration, early this afternoon New York state lawmakers gave final passage to legislation that would allow Donald Trump’s state tax returns to be released to congressional committees, the Associated Press writes. Such committees, as we know only too well, have so far been barred from obtaining the president’s federal tax filings. The Democrat-led New York senate and assembly, which make up both houses of the state legislature in the capital, Albany, a couple of hours up the Hudson River from New York City, both approved the measures on Wednesday....
