The Plain Truth

Dershowitz: ‘Anybody Who Seriously Considered’ Invoking 25th Amendment Should No Longer Be Working for the U.S. Gov’t

During an interview with New York AM 970 radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz reacted to reports Department of Justice officials, including Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, considered invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump from office.

“Any talk about the 25th Amendment is clearly wrong,” he said to host John Catsimatidis. “The 25th Amendment is designed for Woodrow Wilson having a stroke, President Reagan being shot and being incapacitated for a few days while surgery occurred. That’s its purpose and its scope. You can’t use the 25th Amendment if you disagree with the president, even if you think he’s committing impeachable offenses. If you think he’s committing impeachable offenses, then impeach him. But the 25th Amendment is sacred. It should be reserved only for situations where either the president admits he’s unable to serve, or the vice president and a majority of the cabinet acknowledge that he can’t serve, that he is incapacitated for physical or psychiatric reasons. It shouldn’t be abused in the way that it is alleged that Rod Rosenstein wanted to abuse it.”

“If the [allegations] are correct and if there were serious discussions about wiring Rod Rosenstein, having him go into the president, catching him in some statement, and then invoking the 25th amendment, that’s a serious, serious challenge to our Constitution,” he continued. “There ought to be hearings about it. There ought to be concerns within the inspector general of the Justice Department. We have to get to the bottom of this and find out if there was really an attempt to coup d’etat. Treason is defined in the Constitution and means only taking arms against the country, or giving aid and comfort to our enemies. So treason wouldn’t apply in a situation like this. But, violating Justice Department policies seem like that may have occurred if this was a serious attempt. Now Rosenstein said he was joking about wiring the president.  Well, A – that is not something you joke about, and B – McCabe said that wasn’t a joke. It was being seriously considered. We have to get the facts. We have to get to the bottom of this.”

CBS’s Lara Logan on Media Bias

Chris Hondros/Getty

Lara Logan, foreign correspondent for CBS’s 60 Minutes, said Breitbart News offers “the other side” of news media relative to what she described as a mostly left-wing and partisan Democrat news landscape in the U.S. and abroad.

She offered her remarks in an interview published last Friday with the Mike Drop podcast, hosted by retired Navy SEAL Mike Ritland. Ritland characterized U.S. news media as “absurdly left-leaning” and supportive of Democrats, further describing the status quo of American news media’s left-wing and partisan Democrat biases as a “huge fucking problem” and “disaster for this country.”

Logan concurred, “I agree with that. That’s true.” She described U.S. and international news media as “mostly liberal,” adding, “most” journalists are left.

“The media everywhere is mostly liberal, not just the U.S.,” assessed Logan.

China's strategy of global war by other means

Classical Chinese military strategy says the best general wins the war without engaging troops on the battlefield.   This informs Beijing’s economic aggression against the U.S. – bankrupting America’s industries will cripple the U.S. militarily without firing a shot.

As part of that campaign, Beijing subsidizes its state-owned and state-controlled companies to give them an advantage over American competitors that play by profit-and-loss free-market rules.

Favored companies receive free electricity, free land, free money, low- or no-interest loans, free buildings and even free labor, provided by prison inmates.

These subsidies allow China to flood our markets with below-cost steel, aluminum, synthetic fibers and other products so they can steal market share from honest American companies.

Beijing is notorious for using export subsidies to grab the “high ground” of new and emerging technologies, including green technology.

Patrick Caddell, pollster to Jimmy Carter, dies at 68. A true American who predicted the rise of Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) — Patrick Caddell, the pollster who helped propel Jimmy Carter in his longshot bid to win the presidency and later distanced himself from Democrats, has died, a colleague said Saturday night. He was 68.

Caddell died Saturday in Charleston, South Carolina, after suffering a stroke. That’s according to Professor Kendra Stewart of the College of Charleston, who confirmed the death to The Associated Press.

After working with Democrats in the 1970s and 1980s, Caddell eventually drifted away from the Democratic Party and began advising supporters of Republican Donald Trump and was a contributor to Fox News for a time.

Caddell worked for 1972 Democratic nominee George McGovern, then joined with Carter in the mid-1970s to develop a campaign strategy to overcome the cynicism spawned by the Vietnam War and Watergate. In an oral history for the University of Virginia’s Miller Center, Caddell said Carter’s best bet was to present himself as an outsider who could help heal the country.

As a student at Harvard, Caddell had studied Southern politics and was helpful to Carter and his close advisers as they studied how to maneuver their campaign between the competing forces of the McGovern liberals and supporters of conservative firebrand George Wallace.

Caddell, a native of Rock Hill, South Carolina, and the Georgia governor found they had many ideas in common about how he could win the presidency. As a one-term governor from the South, Carter would have to offer a compelling outsider theme.

“In order to win, he had to articulate a sense of what had happened to the country through Vietnam and Watergate. If you go back and look at those speeches that he gave early in the campaign, he would talk about the damage to the country, its psychology,” Caddell said in the oral history. “Essentially, what he was running on in the campaign was that the country had been psychologically devastated by the previous decade of events. He was offering himself as a healer...”

Carter won the presidency, but Caddell, known at the time for his bushy black beard with a gray streak, preferred to advise the president from outside the White House.

Caddell warned Carter of the dangers of getting out of touch with the voters who had embraced him during the campaign. But one bit of Caddell advice seemed to backfire.

Caddell wrote a memo warning of crisis of confidence that Americans were experiencing and urged Carter to address them directly about it. That became known as the “malaise” speech, though Carter never used that word.

He lost re-election a year later, in a bid complicated by economic fears, an intraparty challenge and the Iran hostage situation. The winner, Ronald Reagan, offered an optimistic vision of the country.

Caddell consulted with other Democratic presidential candidates in the 1980s and was a close adviser to Joe Biden during his failed 1988 bid for the presidency.

In explaining his break from Democrats, Caddell said he thought the party was no longer “a party of the people” but had been hijacked by elites, the well-educated, Wall Street and interest groups.

He noted in a 2016 speech to students at Michigan’s Hillsdale College that he was offended when the Democrats at their national convention would not allow Pennsylvania Gov. Bob Casey Sr., who was against abortion, to deliver a convention speech. Caddell considered the Democrats to be guilty of “the stifling of dissent.”

And he commended Trump for reaching out to people the Democrats were not effective in reaching, and his willingness to take on “the political class.”

Trump will announce a national emergency to spend $8BILLION building his border wall

Trump will announce a national emergency to spend $8BILLION building his border wall at 10am TODAY and sign bill to avoid another shutdown - after bitter standoff with Pelosi and Democrats in Congress Click Here for more

President Donald Trump will today announce a national emergency to allow him to spend $8 billion building his wall after signing a bill to avoid a government shutdown after bitter standoff with Congress. The White House confirmed Thursday that the president will sign a bipartisan spending deal to avoid another government shutdown but will declare the national emergency in an effort to procure funds to build a border wall. Trump is set to hold an event in the Rose Garden about the border at 10 a.m. Friday. The move drew both statements of relief from lawmakers and a threat from Speaker Nancy Pelosi over the emergency declaration.

JOURNALISM ISN'T DEAD -- IT'S UNDEAD

A popular theme in the Twitterverse this week is “Journalism is dead.” Two events apparently driving the disgust du jour with media incompetence and dishonesty are BuzzFeed’s story about President Trump allegedly asking Michael Cohen to commit perjury, and the group of boys from Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky accused of racist behavior in an incident following the March for Life in Washington, D.C.

The BuzzFeed “bombshell” was defused when Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office issued a statement flatly contradicting the story. Authors Anthony Cormier and Jason Leopold admitted that they had not personally seen the documents they referenced. Additional doubt has been cast on the story’s credibility by Leopold’s record of inaccuracies and outright falsehoods.

But the BuzzFeed bust is nothing compared with the Covington Catholic conflagration. A group of boys from the high school were caught on video smiling and chanting as Native American Nathan Phillips – initially reported to be a Vietnam veteran – drummed in front of them. A since-changed New York Times headline read, “Boys in ‘Make America Great Again’ Hats Mob Native Elder at March for Life.” Predictably, the social media mobs piled on, accusing the boys of Trump-inspired racism and white supremacy, calling for them to be doxxed, punched in the face, fed into a woodchipper and burned alive in their school. Covington Catholic High School was forced to close in the face of threats. In a particularly absurd twist, the family of a young man who resembles Covington student Nick Sandmann (front and center in the video) was targeted and threatened with violence.

Not long after the initial video went viral, however, additional information emerged, and the popular narrative began to unravel: A longer video showed the Covington students being verbally assaulted by a group of Black Hebrew Israelites who called them “crackers,” “dogs” and “a bunch of faggots made out of incest.” The Covington students did not “mob” anyone; Phillips and his group approached them. It was Phillips who drummed only inches from Sandmann’s face. And, as it turns out, Phillips did not serve in Vietnam.

Sandmann released a statement and appeared on the “Today” show to defend himself, saying that he stood quietly and smiled to keep a frightening situation from escalating. He denied reports that his classmates were chanting, “Build the wall,” saying that they were loudly chanting school spirit chants only to drown out the insults.

People are justifiably outraged. Yes, it has been a bad week for the media, which is already suffering from record-low credibility. But the notion that media bias or deceit is a recent phenomenon is a sad delusion.

Intel operation against Trump still going strong

BY SHARYL ATTKISSON

There was a great deal of news this past week about President Trump’s audacious disregard for the advice and warnings from his own intelligence community experts.

Perhaps there’s good reason for alarm.

But I think there’s one shocking aspect — perhaps a larger story — that’s gone virtually unreported. It appears that anonymous intelligence officials are executing an operation against the sitting commander in chief. It might not qualify as all-out mutiny, but it’s also not all that far from one.

Right under our noses, while still under investigation for allegedly orchestrating leaks and undermining candidate Trump in 2016, some in the intel community are orchestrating leaks and undermining President Trump in 2019. 

There’s evidence of the existence of such an operation from the inspector general, various congressional probes and investigative reporting. They’ve alleged, and in some cases concluded, that some top intel officials improperly leaked information to the news media and engaged in politically motivated surveillance practices involving multiple Trump associates. 

In the newest press salvo, unnamed intel officials fanned out to air anonymous grievances against their commander in chief. They provided details of classified briefings and made inflammatory charges, such as that Trump is “endangering American security” with his “stubborn disregard” and “willful ignorance.” Disseminating these details, if true, could be seen as assisting our enemies.

Also cause for concern is the media’s role in this operation, whether witting or not. Many in the press dutifully parroted these grievances in one-sided accounts with virtually no counterpoints, as if it’s inconceivable that these intel officials could be capable of flaws or conflicted by political motivations. Some reporters seem to think that “intel,” as distilled and presented by these officials, is somehow beyond question.

In fact, history teaches us the opposite can be true.

Chrishia’s Story by Chris Odette

My beautiful daughter Chrishia was killed the night of Sept 12th; she was only 13 the night of her death.

She was killed by an Illegal Alien driving a truck without a license that was never charged with her death and was only given a ticket for driving without a license. I have written to the best of my memory everything that has taken place with the accident investigation and after.  I believe what happened is something Texas and the American public should know.  It is my hope you will take interest in what I have to say and help me share her life and death.

Sept 12th, 2014 was on a Friday and my daughter had asked to go to a birthday party for one of her friends from school. During the party at a local restaurant she texted me and asked to go spend the night at a friend’s house. I had never met the friend or her mother so I originally said no. After talking with her more I went against my better judgment and agreed to let her spend the night with the intent of meeting the mother of her friend when dropping her off.

By the time we made it to her friend’s house it was just a few minutes past 9 PM. I met the girl’s mother named Andrea but had forgot my cell phone in my truck. She did not have her phone in hand so we agreed my daughter would text me with her number so I could communicate with her on when I would be picking up my daughter the next day.

I gave my daughter a hug good night and planned on texting her in an hour or so and saying good night to her before I went to bed.

By the time I arrived home, less than 30 minutes later my landlord and close friend called me to tell me the parent Andrea was trying to reach me and they had got a call from her daughter telling me there had been an accident and my daughter had been hurt. They did now know anything more.

I was confused because my daughter should have been at her friend’s house and so I called my daughter’s phone to find out what had happened. The friend of my daughter answered the phone and was panicked and said my daughter had been in an accident and the paramedics were trying to find her pulse. I told her I was on my way and hung up the phone.

In rushing to the local hospital, where I expected to find my daughter and find out if she was ok, I ran a red light at an intersection that looked like the traffic was not moving and approached with my hazard lights on. I ended up totaling my truck and minutes after the accident occurred paramedics and police arrived on the scene. I began begging them to tell me what the status was of my daughter and asked them to get on their radios and find out for me.

After taking my information a policeman drove me to hospital where I was taken in to the emergency room and taken in to room to speak to a doctor about my daughter’s injuries. It was then the doctor told me that my daughter had suffered severe injuries and when she arrived to the hospital she did not have a pulse. They had attempted to revive her but were not successful. He said be believed that based on her injuries she never knew what happened and felt no pain.

My little girl was pronounced dead at 10:01 PM Sept 12th 2014. She was exactly 13 years and 7 months to the day. Only 15 months prior I had to bury her beautiful mother after having fought breast cancer for 22 months.

On Sept 13th I was still unaware of what exactly had happened to my daughter and had to start planning her funeral. By I believe Sept 15th I received a call from Officer McIntire of the Rockwall Police department asking me if I was able to give a statement for his investigation into my daughter’s death.

When he arrived my brother and my close friend and landlord were both present when he asked me about what happened the night I took my daughter over to her friend’s house.

During my interview with him he asked me if I had any questions and I told him I would like to know what happened because I had still not been told.

As he drew a small map and began to explain that my daughter and her friend were going to the store that was about a quarter mile from the girl’s house he explained that my daughter had crossed the road at an intersection that was not a legal cross walk. My daughter and her friend had successfully crossed the road but in the process my daughter had dropped her cell phone and was attempting to go back into the road and get her phone.

She had started back into the road when the oncoming traffic on her side of the road saw her and was forced to slam on their breaks but managed to stop 20 feet short of her. The driver on the opposite side of the road driving a white Nissan Titan said he did not see her until the last second and swerved to try missing her but hit her and killed her immediately.

The officer explained her friend had picked up one of my daughter’s shoes that would have made it possible to tell if the driver was speeding but the driver never hit his breaks. He did however roll to a stop in the ditch by the road.

During this conversation he did not give me the name of the driver only that he was a 34 yr old male and that he did not have a Drivers License.

I was confused and asked the officer how a 34yr old man could be driving and not have a driver license. At that moment I asked was he an illegal? The response he gave was “I’m not permitted to say this but yes, we believe he is.” He explained the vehicle he was driving belonged to a friend and the driver had stated he his wife and 3 friends in the back seats were heading to a soccer game when the accident occurred.

Hearing this was painful and admittedly I was upset, so I asked him if the man was going to jail for killing my daughter? He told me the driver had been arrested at the scene. I asked him if he was going to be deported and he said in his own words “ If they (the illegals) are found crossing the border they are deported back to Mexico, If they are found at the border after crossing, they are departed back to Mexico. However if they are able to make it to Dallas, unless they commit a Felony then they are let go and not reported.

What Officer McIntire did not tell me (though he states he did in the statement he wrote on interviewing me) was the driver had been arrested for having a 4 year old Warrant for driving without a license and speeding and they knew he was an Illegal Alien and I believe his wife and 3 friends in the truck. Of which none of them were reported to immigration services or deported. Only the driver was arrested. His wife and 3 friends were only questioned.

According to Rockwall County arrest records the driver spent 36 minutes in jail and was bailed out and released to the street.

A week after my daughter’s funeral I had to have surgery on my spine to repair damaged disks to my back. I had been scheduled for this surgery the week after losing her but needed to attend to her funeral services. The week after the surgery, my sister while staying over at my house to help me recover drove over the house of the driver. She took a picture of the driver working on the truck he had been driving when he took my daughter’s life and I saw in the picture a dent on the bumper. That dent matched a bruise I found on my daughters leg the day I attended her cremation.

My reason for pointing this out is that even after just being involved in an accident that took a child’s life, this man was still determined to continue driving and breaking the law. I did however tell my sister that she needed to stay away from them and let the legal system work for us.

In the following weeks I began to call more frequently to ask Officer McIntire if the driver had passed or failed his urine and blood test looking for drugs or alcohol in his system. In October, Officer Mc’Intire told me they basically knew the driver owned the truck he was driving, but because he didn’t have a drivers license he could not put it in his name. He passed his urine test but was still waiting for blood test. He said he believed the drug screen would come back clean as well.  I said, “so he probably won’t be punished for my daughter’s death?” He then said to me, “Mr. Odette I have heard you blame the mother for not taking care of your daughter, and I have heard you blame the driver for hitting her, but you have not said anything about your daughter. You have to remember she was the one that chose to go back into the road.” I can’t remember but I believe I said at that moment, “you’re right, and she has been punished hasn’t she?” I said thank you and hung up at that moment.

It was in November just a week before Thanksgiving when I was told that he had passed his drug screen and urine test and was unlikely the man would be charged further.

It was through my personal lawyer that I was able to get the case pushed to a Grand Jury. 2 weeks before Christmas I was called by the Rockwall County Prosecutor’s office and asked to meet with the Assistant Prosecutor to discuss my daughter and the case. During the meeting I was told that I had a choice. They could push the case to a more experienced Grand Jury and have the case heard before the end of the year or they would push it back to January when they would convene again.

I asked if they (the Grand Jury) would be told about the warrant’s that I found on my own and that he was illegal and was told yes. The Grand Jury would be permitted to ask questions and all would be available for them to review but, because the driver had not drugs in his system, no alcohol and no driving history. It was not likely they would based on the evidence, indicted the driver on any further charges. I asked about why not charge him with negligence and she told me “The license does not determine his ability to operate the vehicle. Having no drugs or alcohol in his system meant they could not prove any negligence on his part to drive.”

I asked her to confirm for me what Officer McIntire had told me about not reporting or deporting Illegals in Rockwall unless they were charged with Felonies and she denied it and said she believed that to be wrong but would have to check into it.

The week before Christmas, December 2014 I received a call from the same Prosecutor (Stephanie) and was told he would not be indicted on any further charges.

In May 2015 I chose to end a Civil Suit against the insurance company of the original owner of the truck. Due in part because my lawyer told me that until the suit was over I could not speak publicly about what had happened to my daughter.

In Oct 2015 I spoke to a friend whom I went to High School and is a law enforcement officer in another county in South Texas. In speaking with him he explained almost the same information as Officer McIntire. The difference was that DHS is responsible for Border Patrol and Immigration Services. He said that unless the person arrested is found to have a SEVERE criminal background Immigration Services does not want to hear about the illegal in custody. As a result police are no longer reporting them when they have them unless the person has a lot of Felonies, because Immigration Services will ignore the notification.

The man that took my daughter’s life still drives the streets of Rockwall Texas. He has been in Texas for 16 years and was married in Rockwall County 11 years ago. He received a ticket for driving without a license 5 years ago and for Speeding.

I can’t help but feel there is more to be done and this is not real Justice and had he been deported when he was found driving without a license then, maybe my daughter would still be alive today.

I am a Texas Veteran and served my State and Country for 12 years as a member of the Texas Army National Guard, and in the US Army Reserves. During my service State Representative Tan Parker of District 63 had HR 1916 passed to recognize those of us in his district that deployed to Iraq in OIF III in May 2007.

In December of 2015 after emailing several Republican Presidential candidates it was Congressman Michael Burgess that took interest in what I had to say. He took time and scheduled a meeting with me on December 18^th and we met in his Lewisville TX office.

He listened to what I had to say and asked me a few questions and then promised me he would do what he could to find out if ICE was notified.  He said he would not stop until he got an answer he was satisfied with.

January 8^th he personally called me from his office in Washington DC to tell me ICE had taken an interest in the case and was going to execute an arrest of the man for possible deportation.

I had hope and felt justice would finally be served. It was a week later I received a call from an unnamed source explaining the man that killed my daughter was arrested and would be held without bail while waiting for his “Due Process” IE immigration hearing. This was supposed to have been requested from the top. I believed from Jan 8 2016 for about a year I had been let to believe he was sitting in jail waiting for a decision.
In mid Feb 2017 while I was being given a status update I was informed he had been released just 1 month after being arrested. He was given a bail of $10,000 cash and someone ( I was not permitted to be told who) had put up the cash and he had been free from jail from Feb 2016 until present waiting for a hearing and final decision.

In August of 2017 I was told he had lost his battle with Immigration and was going to be forcibly deported but before that could happen he had a chance for an appeal for the decision. I received a follow up call in Sept 2017 to let me know he did not file his appeal and was issued a notice to turn himself in and collect his $10,000. At that point he would be deported. I was more than skeptical but waited for the call to inform me of his deportation.

At the start of Oct 2017 I called asking for a status and to confirm my daughter’s killer had been deported. The status I received was to be told the Judge had misspelled his name and so the notice had to be reissued and he would be given an additional 30 days to turn himself in but again was reassured he would not want to pass up the money and would be taken into custody and be deported at that time.

After not receiving an update at the end of October, I requested another update in Dec 2017. It was at this point I was told when ICE went to his place of residents at the end of Oct they found he and his Illegal wife had fled with their kids.

Now they are “Fugitives” from ICE and I’ve been told ICE is actively looking for him. In all actuality that means ICE simply is undermanned and overwhelmed with Illegals on the run. So the only hope of him being found is if he commits another crime that gets him arrested.

The sad and painful irony is this…. He will have to potentially kill someone else or injure someone else to be found if AND ONLY if his crime is in a town or city that is NOT sympathetic to Illegals.

Exclusive: Angel Dad Asks Why Nancy Pelosi Hasn’t Torn Down Border Wall if It’s ‘Immoral’

Angel dad Chris Odette questioned why House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has not presented a bill to tear down the border wall if she really thinks it is “immoral.”

Odette, a military veteran, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview Wednesday that he has tweeted Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer numerous times, inviting Pelosi to meet and talk about his daughter’s death, but he has received no response.

Odette’s daughter, Chrishia Odette, was just 13 years old when, on September 12, 2014, unlicensed driver and illegal alien Ramiro Tolentino Guevara careened into the girl’s body. Odette recounted the authorities’ description of the blood that streamed from her face after being struck and the professionals who said she may have lived for minutes with her injuries before dying.

'The perfect cop': Grief stricken parents mourn their rookie daughter, 22, who was fatally shot after two weeks on the job during a routine traffic stop by a violent loner

Thousands turned out from across the country to Davis, California on Friday to mourn the death of rookie officer Natalie Corona, 22 (left), who died in the line of duty on January 10, after just two weeks on the job. Officers from as far as New York, Chicago and Boston (some shown inset) came to honor the young policewoman killed last week in the Northern California college town. On the evening of January 10, there was no apparent danger when Corona responded solo to a three-car crash in downtown Davis, near the university. But as Corona talked to the drivers, gunfire erupted. Police say Kevin Douglas Limbaugh, 48, was not involved in the crash but rode up on a bicycle and opened fire on Corona without warning. He later killed himself. Corona is shown in a 2016 Facebook tribute to law enforcement. Merced and Lupe Corona (bottom left), both parents of the slain officer, are pictured at right together kissing their daughter's coffin at

WHO BENEFITS FROM MASS IMMIGRATION? NOT YOU!

Ann Coulter sees 'phony studies, phony polls, phony experts' lying about issue

Assiduous readers of my columns know that I have frequently made the point that America’s immigration policies benefit only three groups of people: 1) rich Americans with a lot of employees, 2) the immigrants themselves, and 3) their grandmothers back in Chiapas.

The money illegal immigrants send out of the country doesn’t come from their low wages. It comes from the taxpayers, who are required to subsidize immigrants so that investment bankers can have cheap nannies. Yes, it is a problem that they couldn’t possibly live on what I pay them, but that’s where YOU come in, taxpayers!

When the rich merely have to pay Social Security taxes on their nannies, they quickly say, Oh, never mind, as we saw in the 1990s, when Bill Clinton’s first two female attorney general nominees had to withdraw because of the illegal aliens raising their kids, and we finally ended up with Janet Reno.

Zoe Baird, the first nominee caught up in Nannygate, promptly fired her illegal alien nanny and chauffeur, Lillian and Victor Corderos, who were deported.

That’s how much the rich love Latino immigrants! As Baird’s spokeswoman, Jamie Gorelick, said at the time: “I think it truly pains them that Lillian has had to pay this price. … They have true affection for her.”

She’s like family!

Appeals court to hear case of reporter alleging surveillance

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — When Sharyl Attkisson first began hearing clicking sounds on her phone and her computers started turning on and off in the middle of the night, she thought it was a technical glitch that could be easily fixed.

Attkisson, then a longtime investigative reporter for CBS News, didn’t suspect anything more until her sources in the intelligence community suggested that the government might be spying on her because of critical stories she had done.

Attkisson alleged in a 2015 lawsuit that former Attorney General Eric Holder, former Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, and unnamed federal agents conducted unauthorized surveillance of her home and electronic devices in an attempt to determine who was leaking confidential information to her.

A federal judge dismissed Attkisson’s lawsuit, finding that resolving the allegations would overstep the court’s authority because it “would require inquiry into sensitive Executive Branch discussions and decisions.”

Attkisson’s appeal will be heard Tuesday by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Attkisson said she, her husband and daughter first noticed unusual activity with their electronic devices in 2011, after she did a story on Operation Fast and Furious, a failed sting operation in which federal agents allowed firearms dealers to sell weapons to straw purchasers in an attempt to trace the guns back to Mexican drug cartels.

DEMOCRATS' TENUOUS GRASP OF 'MORALITY'

Articles about the left’s hypocrisy and appalling double standards are barely newsworthy these days. Even so, the Democrats have displayed new lows on that score this week, throwing around the word “morality” as if they are the nation’s arbiters of it.

On immigration, for example, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi denounced President Trump’s call for heightened border security, including a border wall, as “an immorality.” Pelosi never defined the term. Nor – unsurprisingly – did she address the “morality” of the consequences of open borders, including Americans killed by illegal immigrants.

Va Gov on Abortion Bill: Infant Could Be Delivered and Then ‘Physicians and the Mother’ Could Decide If It Lives

Bob Barney

Modern people read the Bible and thing we are nothing like those primitive peoples who  believed in witches, fables, and fake Gods.  They practiced child sacrifice for the good of their nation, how horrible they were we think....  However, we follow our horoscopes, pagan holidays (Christmas for example is a pagan holiday of CHILD BURNING!), and we kill MILLIONS of kids by abortion!  Yet we think we are better, aren't we.  No wonder why God says this about us: 

Isaiah 59:2. But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.

Zechariah 7:11-13. But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder and stopped their ears from hearing. They made their hearts like flint so that they could not hear the law and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets; therefore great wrath came from the LORD of hosts. And just as He called and they would not listen, so they called and I would not listen," says the LORD of hosts; (yes God does not LISTEN to prayer!

Jeremiah 11:11-14.  Therefore thus says the LORD, "Behold I am bringing disaster on them which they will not be able to escape; though they will cry to Me, yet I will not listen to them."

What Jesus HIMSELF says about Christians who believe "on The Lord", and think they are saved! (caution: This is something your pastor never told you!) Matthew 7: 21“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. 22On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ 23But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’

So realize today, we are no better than those pagans that we read about in the Bible.  We have killed millions of children through abortion, we worship a false God, and worse we arrogantly thumb our nose to God Almighty. We will pay for our sins!

From Breitbart.com

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D.) commented Wednesday about a controversial 40-week abortion bill and in so doing said the law allows an abortion to take place after the infant's birth.

"If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother," Northam said, alluding to the physician and mother discussing whether the born infant should live or die.

A Democratic lawmaker in the Virginia House of Delegates proposed a bill Tuesday that would allow abortions through the end of the third trimester of pregnancy. The video of Delegate Kathy Tran presenting her bill led to an exchange where she admitted that her bill would allow for a mother to abort her child minutes before giving birth.

"How late in the third trimester could a physician perform an abortion if he indicated that it would impair the mental health of the woman?" Majority Leader Todd Gilbert (R.) asked.

"Or physical health," Tran said.

"Okay," Gilbert replied. "I'm talking about the mental health."

"I mean, through the third trimester," Tran said. "The third trimester goes up to 40 weeks."

"Okay, but to the end of the third trimester?" Gilbert asked.

"Yup, I don't think we have a limit in the bill," Tran said.

"Where it's obvious that a woman is about to give birth, she has physical signs that she's about to give birth, would that still be a point at which she could request an abortion if she was so certified?" Gilbert asked. "She's dilating."

Tran responded that is a decision between the woman and her doctor would have to make. Gilbert asked if her bill would allow an abortion right before the infant was born.

"My bill would allow that, yes," Tran said.

NBC4 reporter Julie Carey asked Northam about the measure.

"Do you support her measure and explain her answer?" Carey asked.

"I wasn't there, Julie. And I certainly can't speak for delegate Tran. But I would tell you one, the first think I would say, this is why decisions such as this should be made by providers, physicians, and the mothers and fathers that are involved," Northam said. "When we talk about third trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of obviously the mother, with the consent of the physicians, more than one physician by the way. And it is done in cases where there may be severe deformities, there may be a fetus that is non-viable."

Northam continued by saying government shouldn't be involved in these types of decisions and that legislators, especially male legislators, shouldn't be telling women what to do.

"I think this was really blown out of proportion. But again we want the government not to be involved in these types of decisions. We want the decision to be made by the mothers and their providers. And this is why Julie, that legislators, most of whom are men by the way, shouldn't be telling a woman what she should or shouldn't be doing with her body," Northam said.

Carey asked if the law should still require women to have multiple physicians approve an abortion.

"Well, I think it is always good to get a second opinion and for at least two providers to be involved in that decision," Northam said. "These decisions shouldn't be taken lightly.

Northam's office released a statement about his comments.

"No woman seeks a third trimester abortion except in the case of tragic or difficult circumstances, such as a nonviable pregnancy or in the event of severe fetal abnormalities, and the governor’s comments were limited to the actions physicians would take in the event that a woman in those circumstances went into labor," Ofirah Yheskel, a spokeswoman for Northam, said. "Attempts to extrapolate these comments otherwise is in bad faith and underscores exactly why the governor believes physicians and women, not legislators, should make these difficult and deeply personal medical decisions,"

Update 4:24 p.m.: Article was updated to include Northam's statement.

Border Patrol struggles with flood of sick migrants

by Anna Giaritelli

 

Border Patrol agents have spent nearly 20,000 hours since October driving asylum seekers to and from hospitals for medical evaluations, according to newly released Department of Homeland Security data.

Since Oct. 1, 2018, the Border Patrol, which works in rural areas between border crossings, has “seen an increase in the numbers of apprehended individuals requiring medical assistance.”    A total of 2,224 migrants, primarily from Guatemala and Honduras, have been hospitalized due to health issues that could not be treated on site in the last month alone, according to a CBP statement.

The department said the spike in illnesses among migrants is forcing federal law enforcement to spend less time focused on serious threats because they are facilitating hospital and urgent care trips. It’s also affecting communities that are trying to help with medical emergencies but are severely short-staffed.

For example, Hidalgo County, located in the southernmost part of New Mexico, is comprised of fewer than 5,000 residents. The average resident makes $32,000 a year, and the low incomes mean the county has less money to use. Its general budget is just $1.7 million.

The 'Deep State' Calls Are Coming From Inside Trump's White House

Reposted. Run Dec 18 2018

Forward by Bob Barney... With the appointment of another Deep State, Never Trumper

Mick Mulvaney, Trump has again picked an insider that does not agree with the Trump agenda, and may actually work against him, maybe even helping him get impeached.  I know that there are people out there that thinks Trump is the smartest man in the world, but he is certainly not acting like he is, in fact he is acting against the interest of those who supported him IN FAVOR of globalist in many areas.  

Steve Bannon reportedly has told people he thinks President Donald Trump has just a 30% chance of completing his four-year term.  I starting to agree!

According to two of the sources, Bannon warned Trump several months ago about the possibility of getting removed from office via the 25th Amendment, prompting Trump to ask, "What's that?"

A stipulation of the 25th Amendment allows the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet — that is, 13 of 24 Cabinet members — to vote the president out of office. Bannon reportedly considered it a more likely scenario than Trump's impeachment.

So that’s consistent. Like Pence, Pompeo has also denied being the author, but Bob Woodward’s book Fear makes numerous points from various members of Trump’s cabinet and staff which are also consistent with the op-ed.

• According to Woodward’s book, Secretary of Defense James Mattis once said that Trump “acted like — and had the understanding of — a fifth- or sixth-grader.” The president’s poor understanding of global diplomacy occurred during a meeting about troops on the Korean Peninsula.

• John Kelly called Trump an “idiot” who has “gone off the rails” to “Crazytown.”

• In a bid to thwart a third world war, aides reportedly hid documents from Trump. James Mattis apparently once snapped at Trump that “We’re doing this in order to prevewww.rawstory.com/...nt World War III,” after he was asked why the U.S. is spending money to detect North Korean missile launches.  (This was part of the same exchange that led to former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson supposedly called Trump a “fucking moron.”)

• Following the launch of chemical attacks against his own people, Syria’s Bashar al-Assad apparently almost became a target of U.S. assassination. According to Woodward’s sources, when the president heard news of the attack, he exploded and ranted “Let’s kill the f*cking lot of them.” Aides convinced him to instead opt for an air strike.
• Several staffers have snatched paperwork from the Oval Office desk to protect the nation. In one case, an aide swiped a letter that would have withdrawn the U.S. from a trade agreement with South Korea that affects our ability to monitor North Korean nukes. “I stole it off his desk,” former chief economic adviser Gary Cohn said, according to the report. “I wouldn’t let him see it. He’s never going to see that document.”

• Former staff secretary Rob Porter said he also stole documents off the Resolute desk. “A third of my job was trying to react to some of the really dangerous ideas that he had and try to give him reasons to believe that maybe they weren’t such good ideas,” Porter reportedly said.

This all matches Scarramucci’s claim that there are people in the WH who think they have to protect the country from Trump.

“There are people inside the administration who think it is their job to save America from this president,” Scaramucci said on CNN’s "New Day."

“That is not their job. Their job is to inject this president into Americaso that he can explain his views properly and his policies, so we can transform America and drain the swamp and make the system fairer for the middle- and lower-income people,” Scaramucci continued.

Er, what?  And also, ewww.     MORE

THE MYTH OF AMERICAN CAPITALISM EXPOSED

FORWARD by Bob Barney:As a small manufacturer trying to compete against the giants out there that rape their customers with out of this world pricing,I see ruff times ahead for companies like ours. We don't have the millions, to buy off Congress, city officials and other government agencies and I think the dems in Congress will really go after small business like Jimmy Carter did. I think most forgot, or never knew how many small businesses were regulated out of business by Carter. It's bribery. The big companies pay the bribes, and the politicians pay them back with selective regulations designed to put the little guy out of business.

Today's Story:     COMPETITION IS DYING AS BIG CORPORATIONS GOBBLE UP EVERYTHING

Vibrant competition is absolutely essential in order for a capitalist economic system to function effectively. 

Unfortunately, in the United States today we are witnessing the death of competition in industry after industry as the biggest corporations increasingly gobble up all of their competitors.  John D. Rockefeller famously once said that “competition is a sin”, and he was one of America’s very first oligopolists.  According to Google, an oligopoly is “a state of limited competition, in which a market is shared by a small number of producers or sellers”, and that is a perfect description of the current state of affairs in many major industries.  In early America, corporations were greatly limited in scope, and in most instances they were only supposed to exist temporarily.  But today the largest corporations have become so huge that they literally dominate our entire society, and that is not good for any of us.

Just look at what is happening in the airline industry.  When I was growing up, there were literally dozens of airlines, but now four major corporations control everything and they have been making gigantic profits….  MORE

Trump’s Critics Are Wrong about the 14th Amendment and Birthright Citizenship

(Photo Illustration: NRO)

Donald Trump continues to bewilder political experts. He unabashedly wades into politically dangerous territory and yet continues to be rewarded by favorable poll results. He has clearly tapped into a reserve of public resentment for inside-the-Beltway politics. How far this resentment will carry him is anyone’s guess, but the Republican establishment is worried. His latest proposal to end birthright citizenship has set off alarm bells in the Republican party.

Critics say that Trump’s plan is unrealistic, that it would require a constitutional amendment because the 14th Amendment mandates birthright citizenship and that the Supreme Court has upheld this requirement ever since its passage in 1868. The critics are wrong. A correct understanding of the intent of the framers of the 14th Amendment and legislation passed by Congress in the late 19th century and in 1923 extending citizenship to American Indians provide ample proof that Congress has constitutional power to define who is within the “jurisdiction of the United States” and therefore eligible for citizenship. Simple legislation passed by Congress and signed by the president would be constitutional under the 14th Amendment.

Birthright citizenship is the policy whereby the children of illegal aliens born within the geographical limits of the U.S. are entitled to American citizenship — and, as Trump says, it is a great magnet for illegal immigration. Many of Trump’s critics believe that this policy is an explicit command of the Constitution, consistent with the British common-law system. This is simply not true.

Native American activist Nathan Phillips has a criminal record

The Plain Truth hurts Liberals a great deal- as well as many on the "religious" right!

Native American activist Nathan Phillips, whose confrontation with a Kentucky high school student went viral last week, has a criminal record, including assault and escape from prison, according to a report.

The 64-year-old Omaha Nation elder was captured on video facing off against a group of students from Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills, Kentucky, at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.

When he was a teen and in his early 20s, Phillips was charged with escaping, assault and various alcohol-related crimes, according to the Washington Examiner, which cited news reports from his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska.

He was charged as a 19-year-old “with escaping from the Nebraska Penal Complex where he was confined May 3,” according to a 1974 article in the Lincoln Star.

Later that year, Phillips pleaded guilty to assault and was fined $200. He also was charged with underage possession of alcohol in 1972, 1973 and 1975, as well as negligent driving, the Examiner reported.

In August 1973, a charge of destruction of property against him was dropped, but he was sentenced to a year of probation for a related charge of alcohol possession by a minor.   MORE

Pelosi Wins- America Loses:Trump: SOTU Won’t Happen Until After Shutdown Ends

Trump: SOTU Won’t Happen Until After Shutdown Ends

President Donald Trump will give the State of the Union address after the partial government shutdown ends.

Once again President Trump drops the ball in regard to the State of the Union Address. Rand Paul made an excellent suggestion last week that The White House ignored.  He proposed moving the SOTU speech to the Senate, which is controlled by the Republicans.   That was a great idea, as no House Democrat could have been able be shown on TV, not even the media darling Cortez!  Trump continually is making mistake after mistake, and those that think this is some great strategy, is quite full of nonsense!

 

‘THE SMOKING GUN’: Google Manipulated YouTube Search Results for Abortion, Maxine Waters, David Hogg

 

Once again Communist Google is doing more harm to democracy and free elections than Russia Ever did or could do.

In sworn testimony, Google CEO Sundar Pichai told Congress last month that his company does not “manually intervene” on any particular search result. Yet an internal discussion thread leaked to Breitbart News reveals Google regularly intervenes in search results on its YouTube video platform – including a recent intervention that pushed pro-life videos out of the top ten search results for “abortion.”

The term “abortion” was added to a “blacklist” file for “controversial YouTube queries,” which contains a list of search terms that the company considers sensitive. According to the leak, these include some of these search terms related to: abortion, abortions, the Irish abortion referendum, Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters, and anti-gun activist David Hogg.

The existence of the blacklist was revealed in an internal Google discussion thread leaked to Breitbart News by a source inside the company who wishes to remain anonymous. A partial list of blacklisted terms was also leaked to Breitbart by another Google source.

In the leaked discussion thread, a Google site reliability engineer hinted at the existence of more search blacklists, according to the source.

“We have tons of white- and blacklists that humans manually curate,” said the employee. “Hopefully this isn’t surprising or particularly controversial.”

Others were more concerned about the presence of the blacklist. According to the source, the software engineer who started the discussion called the manipulation of search results related to abortion a “smoking gun.”

The software engineer noted that the change had occurred following an inquiry from a left-wing Slate journalist about the prominence of pro-life videos on YouTube, and that pro-life videos were replaced with pro-abortion videos in the top ten results for the search terms following Google’s manual intervention.

SEX TRAFFICKING ARRESTS: TRUMP VS. OBAMA

Why does the Democratic Party leadership refuse to build the wall they know will discourage illegal penetration of our country? Are they indifferent to the tragic reality of human trafficking? The U.S. State Department estimates that 14,500 to 17,500, or in some cases as many as 19,000, foreign nationals are trafficked into the United States each year.

By July 2018, the AMBER Alert Training and Technical Assistance Program disclosed, “Sex trafficking in and out of the United States has historically been big business. The trafficking of persons across the U.S. border for prostitution is estimated to be the third most significant source of revenue for organized crime syndicates, following the sale of drugs and firearms. All of this profit potential has proven to be a powerful motivator for both organized crime and small independent organizations alike to engage in the sex trafficking of persons.”

So, why stop the wall – whose absence makes it easier for mobsters to prostitute girls and boys?
