Rupert Murdoch told Roger Ailes: Tilt the election 'to anyone but Trump,' 'even Hillary'

Via Billy

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch wanted to tilt the U.S. presidential election to any candidate but President Trump, according to a longtime friend of former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes.

"Murdoch instructed Ailes to tilt to anyone but Trump, Ailes confided to me before he was fired, even Hillary. (Ailes, for his part, characterized Murdoch's periodic efforts at interference as similar to Nixon's instructions to bomb this or that country — best ignored.)," Michael Wolff wrote in a column Thursday, one day before the one-year anniversary of Ailes' resignation.

The former writer for USA Today and the UK edition of GQ insisted Ailes' unapologetic support for President Trump ultimately led to his firing by the parent company's Murdoch family.

Rep. Kelly: It’s Time to ‘Tear Up’ the UN Arms Trade Treaty

 

Last week, Congressman Mike Kelly (R-PA) called on President Trump to pull U.S. support for the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) signed by the Obama Administration in 2013.

You’re probably thinking to yourself, Man, I thought this thing was killed a long time ago because the Senate never ratified the treaty? What’s going on?

The ATT is not dead, unfortunately.  This effort to globalize gun control is like an infectious disease lurking below the surface.  Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not there.  And unless it’s treated, an outbreak is imminent.

As you know, I am a staunch supporter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.However, my reply to this is, "Is this woman on crack cocaine?"

I can't believe that the many Daughters that I know nationwide will sit for this.

Your brother,

Mike, would you consider sending an e-mail to the UDC President General regarding the firestorm Ginger Rudigar has started? We have been advised to flood the president general with our e-mails asking for her to take action and remove Ginger from office. What you have written below is great. Hope you will send it.

Patricia M. Bryson, President General, UDC - brysdale@aol.com

Thank you very much

Florida UDC President

Ms Rudiger would make a excellent spokesman for the NAACP after her comments last night on Fox 13. Apologetic and totally delusional she supported nearly every argument for removing all items Confederate. But she went further and decreed that Battle flags should adorn grave sites only with no display in the public eye and proudly stated that states rights protected slavery during the 1800's. If this does not create a revolt from Key West to Pensacola with in the UDC then this once noted organization should retreat to the closet and remove Confederacy as part of their title. What a shameful downward spiral the past 15 years!

The United Daughters of the Confederacy erected a monument outside the old Tampa courthouse all the way back in 1911.  Now, that statue has triggered a firestorm, and the Florida president of the UDC says she favors moving Confederate monuments off of government land in the interest of bringing people together.

EXCLUSIVE: Hillary Looked Other Way As Bill’s China $ Link Returned To US

Via Billy

 

When James Riady and his family’s company, called the Lippo Group, pled guilty to campaign fraud in the 1990s for donations to Bill Clinton, it looked as if the Indonesian-based businessman’s days were over — and just another ugly chapter of American political history.

Yet, starting in 2011 when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, the Riadys started their return to the United States through a new Chinese subsidiary called Lippo China Resources, which sought to become a minority owner in a Utah company called CS Mining.

Riady’s Lippo China Resources hopes to obtain majority ownership of the Utah company at a bankruptcy court hearing Friday in Salt Lake City. They are trying to acquire the land — the size of Manhattan — at fire-sale prices, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group has found.

The Riady family — Indonesian citizens who property worldwide and business holdings that include mainland China — hope to gain control of the copper, gold and silver reserves on 60,000 acres in Utah.

Conway: We didn’t need Russia to find damaging info on Clinton

Via Billy

 

Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway said on Friday that the Trump campaign didn't need Russia's help to obtain dirt on Hillary Clinton, because the candidate herself was a "treasure trove of negative information."

"I was the campaign manager for the winning campaign. I didn't have to look any further than Hillary Clinton when I wanted damaging, negative information in Hillary Clinton," Conway said on Fox News's "Fox & Friends."

"It was all there. She was like a walking, talking treasure trove of negative information," she said.

Republican lawmaker: Probing Mueller's team is 'standard legal practice'

Via Billy

Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., argued Friday that President Trump's effort to investigate special counsel Robert Mueller's investigative team is a "standard" practice that anyone would take in that kind of situation.

Press reports said Trump's legal team is looking for possible conflicts of interest within Mueller's team. That tactic follows complaints from Trump's team that most of Mueller's lawyers have donated to Democrats.

Judicial Watch: Mueller Probe is a Political Effort to Jail Trump and His Family

Via Billy

President of Judicial Watch, Tom Fitton is one of the loudest voices calling for the end of the Mueller probe. He says the probe is out of control, unsupervised and unconstitutional.

In a recent interview with The Daily Signal, Fitton said the Mueller probe is “a political effort to jail the president and his family because people don’t like him.” Fitton is absolutely correct. The Democrats will not stop until Trump, his family members and people in his administration are put in jail.

Fitton also said, “Sessions should un-recuse himself and get rid of Mueller.”

Fired FBI Director, Comey admitted to leaking memos to the press to prompt a special counsel, so why is this investigation still going?
