Judicial Watch Releases 29 Pages of FBI Clinton-Lynch Tarmac Meeting Documents Previously Withheld by Justice Department

Judicial Watch today released 29 pages of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) documents related to the June 27, 2016, tarmac meeting between former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton. The documents show that FBI officials were more concerned about leaks than the actual meeting itself.  The new documents also show that then-FBI Director Comey seemed to learn of the meeting from news reports. 
 
The new documents were obtained by Judicial Watch in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:16-cv-02046)) filed after the Justice Department failed to comply with a July 7, 2016, FOIA request seeking: 

Sen. Perdue: Ending Chain Migration a ‘Top Priority’ for Republicans

Via Billy


Sen. David Perdue (R., Ga.) made clear on Thursday that Senate Republicans see ending the practice of "chain migration" as a major priority for any immigration reform, potentially requiring its end and other policies in exchange for an amnesty for DACA recipients.

"I think the mood, in our caucus anyway, is that ending chain migration is a top priority. The majority leader of the Republican caucus says that he is in favor of eliminating chain migration. I think that's a milestone," Perdue said at a panel on immigration hosted by the National Press Club.

Sessions blasts sanctuary cities after Kate Steinle murder trial ruling

Attorney General Jeff Session blasted so-called sanctuary cities late Thursday after a San Francisco jury acquitted an illegal immigrant charged with the 2015 murder of 32-year-old Kate Steinle.

“When jurisdictions choose to return criminal aliens to the streets rather than turning them over to federal immigration authorities, they put the public’s safety at risk," Sessions said in a statement.

Sessions's comments came after a jury for the Superior Court of San Francisco acquitted Jose Ines Garcia Zarate of the fatal shooting of Steinle. Zarate had previously been deported five times.

Scarborough Rants About Trump Being ‘Mentally Unstable,’ Calls Out Mattis

Via Billy


Talk about the pot calling the kettle black

MSNBC "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough went on a rant Thursday morning about President Donald Trump being "mentally unstable" and called out Secretary of Defense James Mattis and other members of Trump's cabinet for not taking action.

Scarborough began his rant by saying the United States is not "fine," and he asked when the right time is for the cabinet to remove the president from office.

"We are not fine in this country. I said America will be strong, we will survive this, but right now at this particular moment–and we're going to get to this in a minute with Richard Haass–we're headed towards a nuclear showdown," Scarborough said.

“Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of. Our enemies are numerous and powerful; but we have many friends, determining to be free, and heaven and earth will aid the resolution. On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important question, on which rest the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves.” —Joseph Warren (1775)

On Monday, one of our political editors, Thomas Gallatin, wrote about a legal restraining order filed on behalf of a Barack Obama deep-state leftover. Richard Cordray, former director of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, attempted to name his deputy, Leandra English, as his successor — clearly an end-run around the executive branch.

What’s the CFPB, you ask? It’s a behemoth unconstitutional regulatory bureaucracy created by the ill-conceived Dodd-Frank legislation. As Gallatin noted, it’s “a rogue agency answerable to almost no one and Corday’s selection of English was a deliberate attempt to keep it that way.”

Donald Trump ignored Cordray and English and tapped his current Office of Management and Budget director, Mick Mulvaney, a CFPB critic, to serve as interim director. Mulvaney arrived at CFPB Monday (with donuts!) and advised all employees to “disregard any instructions you receive from Ms. English in her presumed capacity as acting director.”

Find the Alabama: A Confederate Navy Cruiser’s Heroic Saga: Part 1 of 4

In October of 1862, Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles was in a state of apprehension and baffled frustration. In this, he was joined by President Lincoln, Secretary of War Stanton, and many high-ranking officials in Washington. In only two months since the British-built Confederate cruiser, the CSS Alabama, slipped out of Liverpool on her maiden voyage, she had wreaked havoc on the U.S. merchant and whaler fleets in the North Atlantic. In September, she had captured and burned ten U.S. commercial vessels. On October 3, the Alabama took two more prizes in a single day. The Emily Farnham was carrying English cargo and was therefore released on bond. The 839 ton Brilliant was carrying U.S. cargo from New York to London, so after her crew, passengers, and supplies were taken aboard the Alabama, the magnificent two-year-old ship was set ablaze at sea.

It was standard practice for Confederate commerce raiders to take the crews and passengers of captured Yankee ships aboard their own ship and transport them to a convenient port or another ship bound for port. Although the Alabama had so far captured eleven Yankee ships and sunk them in a fiery spectacle, there was not a single loss of life. Union commercial losses were, however, substantial.

The leftist, Marxists liberals lie to themselves (and everyone else) so much, they have no understanding of the truth. Donald Trump is the main reason the nation is struggling with every issue under the sun, while simultaneously being the most inept, out-of-touch, do nothing, know nothing president we have ever had.

They lie to themselves about the reason GDP is up over 3% for the first time in about 10 years for consecutive quarters. To do so would be to acknowledge that Barack Obama had no interest in making American strong, but to drive the people away from jobs and into dependency. They lie to themselves about the nature of the family, telling themselves that any sort of combination of human beings can constitute a family, forgetting that a family requires some hierarchy of authority, discipline, respect and values handed down generation after generation. They lie to themselves about gender as if it is fluid, not recognizing that by exalting one, they denigrate another. They lie to themselves about morality, believing that they are the judges of what is moral with no corresponding aversion to amorality. They lie to themselves about fairness, seeking fairness only for those with whom they agree, reserving unfairness for whom they have decided amongst their clan deserves no fairness.

They are not expected to meet academic standards, to study, or be able to read.  Something other than conventional stupidity must be involved. Is it that blacks, as various psychologists have said, lack impulse control, cannot readily envision the future?  I don’t know. It fits, though.

FBI Director Christopher Wray, responding to questions from Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) at a House Homeland Security hearing on global terrorism threats on Thursday, told the committee that the FBI is investigating Antifa-linked individuals for criminal activity.

Perry pointed out that Antifa factored in “inciting riots” across the country, probably referring to their violent actions during President Trump’s inauguration and on college campuses.

“We do have a very active domestic terrorism program,” Wray responded, hinting that Antifa-aligned individuals could be engaged in terrorist conduct. “[W]e’re not investigating ‘Antifa’ as ‘Antifa’ – that’s an ideology and we don’t investigate ideologies.”

More than 100 economists support the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and say it will accelerate economic growth, increase wages, and lead to more jobs, according to a letter the economists wrote to members of Congress.

Economists who authored the letter included those working at universities as well as those who worked at Office of Management and Budget, the Joint Economic Committee, and the Federal Reserve Bank.

"Economic growth will accelerate if the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passes, leading to more jobs, higher wages, and a better standard of living for the American people," the letter states. "If, however, the bill fails, the United States risks continued economic underperformance."

“If we glance at special achievements, it will be difficult to find anything in the history of South Carolina which presents so much of heroic spirit in an heroic cause as appears in that repulse of the Missouri invaders by the beleaguered town of Lawrence, where even the women gave their effective efforts to freedom…Already, in Lawrence alone, there are newspapers and schools, including a high school, and throughout this infant Territory there is more mature scholarship far, in proportion to its inhabitants than in all South Carolina.”
This speech was obviously meant to agitate the already widespread feelings of sectionalism.

A part in the definition of super hero is a person who is ready to sacrifice his or her life to save human's life. Reading the following story, we should be proud of the anonymous heroes who consistently and bravely fought the enemies until last minutes of theVN war. They not only saved their people's lives, but also contributed such golden pages to the VN history.

The following historical written memoirs are based on the report of Captain Tran Phuc, a very courageous fighter pilot of the Dragon 518th Squadron, one of the tactical fighter Squadrons of the South VN, and also the leader of the Dragon 51 flight.

In the last days of the VN war, he fought bravely and persistently against the enemy's firepower, regardless of the enemy's hailstorm of bullets and 122mm rockets that are extremely dangerous to both aircrafts and considered life threatening to pilots. The bombs he dropped destroying more than a hundred artilleries of 122 mm rockets set around the perimeter of TSN Air Base and the Saigon surburbs by the North Communists Army. His last flights saved up to thousand of South Vietnamese civilians.

His story will bring us back to the horrible scenes of Saigon and TSN Air Base under cruel attacks of the North Vietnamese Army's firepower in the last days before falling.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, the very same mainstream media that attempted to disqualify then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney in 2012 over the phrase “binders full of women,” the very same media that grinded Republican senate candidate Todd Akin into dust over something he said, appears to be, itself, a depraved institution populated by powerful abusers and their enablers.

Over the past two months a number of powerful men have been fired or placed on suspension over allegations of sexual misconduct, horrific behavior that ranges from masturbating in front of female subordinates to pay-for-play. And time and time again we hear the words Everybody Knew!

You read that correctly, according to those within this wicked institution, everyone knew … and did nothing.

It has come to light that as director of the FBI, Robert Mueller, who is currently the special counsel looking for any dirt he can find on Donald Trump, presided over the 2012 removal of all counterterror training materials of any mention of Islam and jihad in connection with terrorism. Since then, our law enforcement and intelligence officials have been blundering along in self-imposed darkness about the motivating ideology behind the jihad threat. This, it turns out, was Mueller’s doing.

In February 2012, the Obama Administration purged more than one thousand documents and presentations from counter-terror training material for the FBI and other agencies. This material was discarded at the demand of Muslim groups, which had deemed it inaccurate or offensive to Muslims.

Wow, Matt Lauer was just fired from NBC for “inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.” But when will the top executives at NBC & Comcast be fired for putting out so much Fake News. Check out Andy Lack’s past!

Matt Lauer being fired over allegations of sexual harassment is laced with irony given that Lauer is suspected to have played a key role in leaking the infamous Hollywood Access tape that was used to demonize Donald Trump as an abuser of women.

NBC announced it was terminating Lauer’s contract following “a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace.”

The network also revealed that it was “also presented with reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident.”

If the claims are true that Lauer has engaged in the sexual harassment of women, it sheds a different light on the Today host’s role in framing Donald Trump as a misogynist who harassed women.

There was an article on the Zero Hedge website back on last June 27th, written by Michael Snyder, which had originally appeared on the Economic Collapse blog. It was about how much land the federal government “owns” in our Western states. From the looks of the map that appeared with the article they “own” almost half ot it. The article noted that: “Today, the feds control approximately  640 million acres of land, and after decades of very poor management, many are calling on the states to take a larger role. This is particularly true in the 11 western states where the federal government collectively  owns 47 percent of all the land.”

Yep, you read that figure right–47 percent of it all. For instance, in Nevada, the feds “own” 84% of all the land in the state.  That leaves 16% of the state for ordinary folks. The feds “own” 64% of Utah, 61% of both Idaho and Alaska and 52% of Oregon. By the time you get to Wyoming the feds only “own” a measly 48% of the state. What a comedown from Nevada that must be for them!

Moore Opens Up 49–44 Lead in Alabama; Just 9% of Trump Voters Believe Allegations Against Moore

 

Alabama Republican Roy Moore has reopened a 49–44 lead over Democrat Doug Jones in the race for U.S. Senate. In Change Research’s third poll since the sexual misconduct allegations against Moore first surfaced on November 9, we found that he has completely erased the 3-point lead Jones had opened up in mid-November. Moore’s lead is now just as large as it was just after the story broke.

What has changed? The largest difference is turnout: many Republicans who ten days ago said they might not vote, now say they plan to show up on Election Day and vote for Moore. In mid-November, 82% of those who voted for Donald Trump in 2016 said they would “definitely” vote on December 12; that number has climbed to 88%. Additionally, Moore has made some gains with his base: his 91–5 lead with them ten days ago has grown to a 93–4 edge. In mid-November, 10% of voters had planned to cast a write-in vote; that number has dropped to 7%.

VIETNAMESE FAMILY, EX-OFFICER RECALL $10 MILLION RESCUE

PENSACOLA, Fla. - Members of a Vietnamese family were reunited with the U.S. Admiral who saved their lives by dumping $10 million worth of helicopters in the sea so they could land a small plane on the deck of his aircraft carrier.
 

South Vietnamese Major Bung Lee, his wife and their five children had crammed into a single-seat Cessna O-1 Bird Dog to escape from their homeland as it was overrun by communist forces in April 1975.

It appeared they would be unable to land on the USS Midway in the South China Sea because its flight deck was filled with helicopters used to evacuate Saigon. Rear Admiral Lawrence Chambers, now retired, ordered the deck cleared.

Lee and Chambers reminisced about the landing at the U.S. Naval Aviation Museum, where the tiny plane was on display Friday.

Another retired Admiral, Magruder Tuttle, bought the plane for an undisclosed price 13 years ago and donated to the Museum at Pensacola Naval Air Station.

Lee, now a waiter at a Polynesian restaurant at Walt Disney World; his wife Van, an electronic worker, and four of their five children came from their Winter Park home for the dedication ceremony.

Lee had flown through Viet Cong fire in dense fog, heading out to sea without knowing what was a head. The plane was miles from shores and running low on fuel when he spotted the Midway.

Lee had no radio, so he attempted to drop a note onto the deck asking permission to land. He said he was afraid to fly too low for fear the crew might think it was under attack and shoot down the plane.

Three times he dropped notes attached to a knife, a boot and a key chain, but it was too light and blew away.

On the fourth attempt, a note tied to Lee,s survival pistol hit the carrier,s deck. It read.

Can you move these helicopters to the other side, I can land on your runway, I can fly one hour more, we have enough time to move. Please rescue me, Major Bung-Ly, wife and 5 children
 http://www.navyhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/5545971583_bf9b6a3840_o.jpg

Chambers said there was not space to move the UH-1 Huey helicopters, so he ordered them pushed overboard. The single-engine plane touched down once, bounced and rolled to a stop.

After President Donald Trump’s “Pocahontas” Comment, Navajo Code Talker Thomas Begay Slams Elizabeth Warren

 
“The Marines made us yell ‘Geronimo’ when we jumped out of planes and that didn’t offend me either.”
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), was so offended that President Donald Trump referred to her as “Pocahontas” while honoring Native American code talkers, she was almost in tears. Although, that certainly didn’t stop her from signing multiple fundraising emails, using the national headlines to raise campaign cash.

As Trump said at the official ceremony, “I just want to thank you because you are very, very special people. You were here long before any of us were here. Although, we have a representative in Congress who has been here a long time, longer than you, they call her ‘Pocahontas.'”

Liberals couldn’t believe Trump repeated Warren’s nickname. Warren, who claimed Native American status on her application to work at Harvard Law School, considered it a “racial slur.”

The following day, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders reminded the press what the real scandal is: “I think what most people find offensive is Senator Warren lying about her heritage to advance her career.”

On Nov. 18, 2017 Resist Marxism organizers for the “Rally for the Republic” in the Boston Common decided to go ahead with their rally despite having not been officially granted a permit that they accepted. 
 
Having made no agreements with the City, the group was barred from entering the common with flags on flag poles, were subjected to searches upon entering the area where their sound system was set up, and Police restricted access into their event.
 
Organizer Mark Sahady said that, given the Mayor's refusal to make a public statement correcting his previous comments about the Boston Free Speech rally in August, it was the group's primary goal to get their message out, especially given that they had speakers coming from out of town.
 

Official White House Card Says “Merry Christmas”

 

President Donald Trump has followed through on a small but significant promise: to start saying “Merry Christmas” again.

On Monday, Melania Trump revealed the White House Christmas decorations for this year, which contain the theme of “Time-Honored Traditions.” In a preview video of the decorations, you can see the 9-foot Christmas tree occupying the Blue Room, a Nativity scene, and the official 2017 White House Christmas card, which clearly says “Merry Christmas.”

The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a case involving the constitutionality of the Confederate flag emblem on Mississippi's state flag.  A black lawyer argued that the emblem should be banned because it represented white supremacy.

But a lower court refused to hear the suit because the lawyer did not have standing to sue.  The Supreme Court issued its ruling without comment.

Planned Parenthood Is in Deep Trouble With the Law. This Could Be a Turning Point.

Via Billy


We are living through a remarkable time in history. Almost daily, those in influential positions who once appeared untouchable are falling out of popular favor as their abuses are exposed.

Earlier this month, one particularly corrupt institution was dealt back-to-back blows: Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion business.

On Nov. 13, The Hill reported that the FBI may be investigating Planned Parenthood and its associates for the sale of aborted babies’ body parts for profit. It’s the latest development yet in a scandal that began in 2015 with the release of explosive undercover videos.

Those videos showed abortion industry executives haggling over the price of hearts, livers, brains, and kidneys and describing, in chilling detail, their techniques for crushing late-term babies to get the freshest organs.

Why Roy Moore Matters

Why would Christian conservatives in good conscience go to the polls Dec. 12 and vote for Judge Roy Moore, despite the charges of sexual misconduct with teenagers leveled against him?

Answer: That Alabama Senate race could determine whether Roe v. Wade is overturned. The lives of millions of unborn may be the stakes.

Some San Diego State University students are undergoing what organizers acknowledge is a “disturbing” series of “sensory experiences” in an attempt to drive out students’ prejudicial tendencies and help make them less oppressive.

The annual workshop, “Journey to a Shared Humanity,” is described on the university’s website as a way for organizers to get students to “step outside their comfort zone and into the shoes of those who are struggling with oppressive circumstances.”

This year, some students were required to attend the event as part of their classes. During the experience, students are walked through a darkened multipurpose room to view a series of theatrical vignettes acted out by campus leaders.

Slavery and the War

 

The recent apoplexy over White House Chief-of-Staff John Kelly’s comments about Robert E. Lee and the Civil War have revealed on ongoing problem in the thinking of many Americans when it comes to history and politics in general – the inability to see any issue or event in anything but the most oversimplified terms.  In the particular context of the criticism of General Kelly’s comments on the Civil War, the South as a region and the Southerners as individuals could not possibly have had any other motivation to fight than the protection of slavery (in the eyes of the media).  For example, witness Paul Begala’s tweet made in response to Kelly’s comments:

“The Civil War was fought over slavery
The Civil War was fought over slavery
The Civil War was fought over slavery.
This will be on the test.”

The Whitewashed Tyranny of Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was the best U.S. President, motivated by a patriotic and Christian desire to preserve the union of states and free the slaves. At least that is what modern textbooks suggest. There is a bigger story to the 16th President of the United States than the Gettysburg Address and the Emancipation Proclamation. A whitewashed version of the man is all that we learned about him in school. It is what our children and grandchildren are still being taught. Public school districts and universities have been dutifully parroting that the Southern states of Lincoln's era had a perverse culture, while Northern society was superior. This became the politically-correct mantra when 'teaching' about Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War for generations after the Civil Rights Movement.

The identity politics is only getting worse, and more blatant.

The narrative is not only infused heavily with liberal bias, but moreover, it is entirely wrong. Far too many Americans, both current students and adults, believe that the Civil War was a war about slavery. This liberalized version of history does not chronicle the political shenanigans that were undertaken by groups to harden their centralized (federal) grasp on power, as is still the case today.

Most Americans do not believe that this issue was at play during Lincoln's era, but they are so very wrong. The current political atmosphere in America is a testament to how ignorance of history forces a people to repeat it.

Veteran to NFL millionaires: Get off your knees already


Cowboy Time Machine: Uberti Winchester 1873: Nice but too much @ $1,259

 

My father was a big advocate of old cowboy guns. Hailing from Europe by birth and upbringing, his fascination with the old West and the cowboys who won it bordered on overzealous. Any gun good enough to be preferred by the old-time cowboys was good enough for him.  He had a point. Thanks to companies like Uberti, people can capture and harness a little piece of the West.

Trump's call to stop Obamacare payments leads to more cheap plans for low-income customers

President Trump's decision to cut off Obamacare payments to insurers has driven up the number of zero-cost plans being sold to customers for 2018.

The move to stop the cost-sharing reduction subsidies has led to higher tax credits for low-income customers, which in turn has led to an increase in the number of cheap Obamacare plans available for no premium but high deductibles.

The eligibility for a zero-cost plan varies depending on where an enrollee lives and how much he or she makes. For instance, 2,436 counties in the U.S. offer free bronze plans — the cheapest of Obamacare’s four metal tiers — to a 40-year-old making $20,000 a year, according to an analysis from the health research organization Kaiser Family Foundation.

A separate analysis from Kaiser found that 4.5 million uninsured people are eligible for plans with zero-dollar premiums.
