Actress Claims Pres. George H.W. Bush Molested Her Like “Countless Other Women”

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Jessica Finn. Former President George HW Bush has apologized after an actress claimed he ‘sexually assaulted’ her while he was in his wheelchair.

Heather Lind, 34, who starred in AMC’s series ‘Turn: Washington’s Spies’, made the allegations against the 93-year-old former president on Instagram in a lengthy post with accompanying photos.

‘When I got the chance to meet George H. W. Bush four years ago to promote a historical television show I was working on, he sexually assaulted me while I was posing for a similar photo. He didn’t shake my hand. He touched me from behind from his wheelchair with his wife Barbara Bush by his side. He told me a dirty joke,’ Lind alleges. . .

Lind said in her since-deleted Instagram post it happened a second time: ‘And then, all the while being photographed, touched me again. Barbara rolled her eyes as if to say ”not again”. His security guard told me I shouldn’t have stood next to him for the photo’ . . .

‘We were instructed to call him Mr. President. It seems to me a President’s power is in his or her capacity to enact positive change, actually help people, and serve as a symbol of our democracy,’ the lengthy post went on. ‘He relinquished that power when he used it against me and, judging from the comments of those around him, countless other women before me,’ Lind wrote.

Former President George H.W. Bush Admits to ‘on Occasion’ Patting Women on Rear

By Kate Feldman. Former President George H.W. Bush had to issue a thousand points of apology Wednesday after two women accused him of fondling their backsides.

A spokesman for the 93-year-old acknowledged in a statement that on a few occasions Bush “has patted women’s rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner.”

The awkward touches are the result of Bush’s arm falling too low at times when he poses with people for pictures — a weakness developed over five years in a wheelchair, the spokesman said.

“To try to put people at ease, the President routinely tells the same joke,” the spokesman’s statement said. (Read more from “Former President George H.W. Bush Admits to ‘on Occasion’ Patting Women on Rear” HERE)

Facebook Censors Phil Robertson Video for ‘Graphic Violence’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

People are still trying to silence Phil Robertson.

If there was ever a perfect explanation for why the “Duck Commander” will launch his new show, “In the Woods with Phil,” on CRTV instead of cable, YouTube, or Facebook, it’s this right here:

Now, we’d like to share the clip from Robertson’s show with you, but as you can see, Facebook won’t permit us to embed it.

For now, you can watch it here, courtesy of CRTV’s Facebook page:

In the video, he prepares a duck he hunted to make some duck gumbo for lunch. He plucks it, singes it in the fire, and, of course, removes its head before cooking it. Quelle horreur!

As he’s working, Robertson talks about how some liberals believe it “takes a coward to go out and kill a bird” with a gun. “No,” Robertson says, “It takes someone who is hungry, and he wants organic food out in the wild.”

The video is Phil, his feathered duck, his pot, and a few words about living off the land and woods. Facebook censored Phil’s post for “graphic violence or gore.” Anyone who is not logged into Facebook will not be able to see the video on Robertson’s Facebook page. The post isn’t there at all – censorship in the truest sense of the word.

This is exactly the kind of extreme political correctness Robertson calls “pontificated crap.” He responded to Facebook’s censorship on Twitter:

Progressives control traditional media outlets and social media, and they use that power to place a stranglehold on conservative voices.

It’s progressivism that led Michelle Malkin’s video spotlighting targets of Islamic violence to be banned from YouTube.

It’s because of progressive control that Steven Crowder’s website was blacklisted from Facebook’s Trending News feed.

It’s because of squeamish progressives that Phil Robertson preparing a duck to eat was labeled “graphic violence or gore.”

Ever since Robertson was temporarily suspended from his hit A&E show for quoting the Bible, it’s been clear that the progressives in charge of mainstream media institutions will not provide a platform for Robertson and other Christians and conservatives to express their beliefs freely. That’s why Robertson’s show, “In the Woods with Phil,” will run daily on CRTV, an online-only platform that’s not beholden to advertisers and liberal TV executives.

“Here’s the deal, America, these are my woods,” Robertson said in a video released when the show was announced. “Out here I call the shots. If you want to hear someone mean what they say and say what they mean; if you want a healthy dose of truth; if you want to hear the name of Jesus without reservation, well, then I would suggest you come join me … in the woods.”

Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin, Steven Crowder, Phil Robertson … all these great conservatives have joined CRTV because CRTV unashamedly believes in the right to free speech. CRTV won’t censor his way of life. And CRTV will never cave to outside pressure from the liberal media because it does not need the liberal media.

Judge Won’t Force Trump to Keep Making ObamaCare Payments

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge on Wednesday handed the Trump administration a victory in President Donald Trump’s efforts to change how Obamacare operates using his executive authority.

U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria in San Francisco rejected the arguments of 18 Democrat attorneys general and said the administration can end cost-sharing reduction payments, which Trump had criticized as a windfall for insurance companies.

The states fighting Trump wanted the judge to compel Trump to keep making the payments while their case against him goes through the court system, according to The Associated Press.

Chhabria, who was nominated for his post by President Barack Obama, said the administration had the “stronger legal argument” and the action states wanted would be “counterproductive” because they had already found a way to prevent Trump’s action from resulting in higher premiums for lower-income people.

Chhabria also mused that the lawsuit seemed to be about more than consumers.

Why “have all these attorneys general rushed to court seeking an emergency ruling against President Trump?” Chhabria had said Monday during oral arguments in the case.

“The state of California is standing on the courthouse steps denouncing the president for taking away people’s health care, when the truth is that California has come up with a solution to that issue that is going to result in better health care for a lot of people,” Chhabria said.

Gregory Brown, who represented California at the hearing, said the loss of the subsidies created “uncertainty and chaos” that could result in insurance companies refusing to offer policies.

In his Wednesday ruing, Chhabria said that the states had shown Trump’s action caused no damage.

“State regulators have been working for months to prepare for the termination of these payments,” he wrote Wednesday. “And although you wouldn’t know it from reading the states’ papers in this lawsuit, the truth is that most state regulators have devised responses that give millions of lower-income people better health coverage options than they would otherwise have had.”

Chhabria said states might want to sing a different tune.

“One last point on the issue of confusion,” Chhabria wrote. “If the states are so concerned that people will be scared away from the exchanges by the thought of higher premiums, perhaps they should stop yelling about higher premiums. With open enrollment just days away, perhaps the states should focus instead on communicating the message that they have devised a response to the CSR payment termination that will prevent harm to the large majority of people while in fact allowing millions of lower-income people to get a better deal on health insurance in 2018.”

The states joining California in the lawsuit are: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington, along with the District of Columbia.

In announcing its decision to end the subsidies, the Trump White House said it was following the law, CNN reported.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the decision was “based on guidance from the Justice Department.”

“The bailout of insurance companies through these unlawful payments is yet another example of how the previous administration abused taxpayer dollars and skirted the law to prop up a broken system,” Sanders said in a statement.

New U.S. Airport Security Rules Take Effect

/0 Comments/in , /by

Starting Thursday, boarding a plane on all United States-bound flights will mean stricter passenger screening. The new security measures are being put in place to avoid banning in-cabin laptops.

Changes to the pre-boarding security screening process will affect 325,000 passengers entering the U.S. on a daily basis. About 2,000 commercial flights from 105 different countries arrive in the U.S. every day.

The new government requirements to board airplanes could include short security screening interviews either at the boarding gate or at check-in.

The U.S. government announced the new rules in June, giving airline companies 120 days to prepare.

The regulations were implemented in order to “end the government’s restrictions on carry-on electronic devices on planes coming from 10 airports in eight countries in the Middle East and North Africa in response to unspecified security threats,” according to Reuters.

In March, the Trump administration had ordered a ban on carry-on laptops. The restrictions were eventually removed, but the administration said if airlines and airports did not boost their security, the measures could be reimplemented on a case-by-case basis.

Air France, Cathay Pacific, EgyptAir, Emirates and Lufthansa will begin implementing the new security measures on Thursday. Royal Jordanian Airlines were granted a delay by the U.S., and have until mid-January to start implementing the new security measures.

“In addition to the controls of electronic devices already introduced, travelers to the U.S.A. might now also face short interviews at check-in, document check or (their) gate,” Germany’s Lufthansa Group said in a statement.

TSA spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein told CBS News that the new security screening would be for all passengers, including U.S. citizens.

“The security measures affect all individuals, international passengers and U.S. citizens, traveling to the United States from a last point of departure international location,” Farbstein said. “These new measures will impact all flights from airports that serve as last points of departure locations to the United States.”

Airlines in Korea and China have expressed their concern over the new security features.

“We see this as a big issue for China Airlines,” said Steve Chang, senior vice president of the Taiwanese firm.

“We are asking customers to show up at the airport early. … It’s just inconvenient for the passengers,” Walter Cho, president and chief operating officer of Korean Airlines, told Reuters.

Cathay Pacific Airways has said in-town check-in and self-bag-drop services will no longer be available on direct flights to the U.S. They also advise passengers to arrive three hours before their departure time.

A YEAR of Clinton Lies About the ‘Golden Showers’ Dossier Exposed as Hillary’s Lawyer Is Under Fire for Falsely Denying Paying for It

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer who launched what would become known as the anti-Trump ‘dirty dossier’ denied involvement in the project for a year as reporters pressed him for information.

Marc Elias brokered a deal between the Clinton camp, the Democratic National Committee and opposition research firm Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on the president while he was running for office.

But a pair of New York Times reporters said Tuesday night on Twitter that Elias and others involved had lied about their ties to the arrangement.

‘Folks involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year,’ Times reporter Maggie Haberman tweeted after The Washington Post linked the dossier to Elias and his law firm Perkins Coie.

Kennth Vogel, another Times journalist, tweeted: ‘When I tried to report this story, Clinton campaign lawyer @marceelias pushed back vigorously, saying “You (or your sources) are wrong”.’ (Read more from “A YEAR of Clinton Lies About the ‘Golden Showers’ Dossier Exposed as Hillary’s Lawyer Is Under Fire for Falsely Denying Paying for It” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

In fiscal 2017, real Social Security Administration spending topped $1 trillion for the first time, according data published in the Monthly Treasury Statement.

The Social Security Administration spent a total $1,000,812,000,000 in fiscal 2017, according to the Treasury.

That was about 37 times as much as the Department of State spent during the year ($27,061,000,000), 32 times as much as the Department of Justice ($30,977,000,000), and 20 times as much as the Department of Homeland Security ($50,502,000,000).

The $1,000,812,000,000 spent by the Social Security Administration in fiscal 2017 was also about 76 percent more than the federal government spent on Department of Defense and Military Programs ($568,905,000,000) during the year.

According to the Monthly Treasury Statement, the only major spending category that absorbed more money than the Social Security Administration in fiscal 2017 was the Department of Health and Human Services, which spent $1,116,764,000,000.

‘God’s Not Dead’ Actor Alleges Designer Gianni Versace Sexually Harassed Him

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Paul Bond. The actor, most famous for playing Hercules, claims the late Italian designer made an unwanted sexual advance while he was working as a model.

Actor Kevin Sorbo alleges that he was sexually harassed by the late Italian fashion magnate Gianni Versace when he was working as a model decades ago . . .

Sorbo said that in 1984, prior to his stint as the lead on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, which ran for six seasons in the late 1990s, Versace approached him in Italy, where he was modeling: “He wanted to meet me because of my height. At 6-foot, 3-inches, he wanted me to do fashion shows with these 6-foot tall women.”

Sorbo says he was invited to a dinner party where he met Sophia Loren, opera star Luciano Pavarotti, Richard Gere and others. He was invited for several more dinner parties, each one with fewer attendees, until one time it was him and Versace alone, where he told Sorbo he wanted him in commercials advertising his fashion brand.

“All of a sudden, his hand goes up my leg,” says Sorbo. “Dude, you know I’m straight?” he told Versace. (Read more from “Hercules Actor Alleges Designer Gianni Versace Sexually Harassed Him” HERE)

Five Women Accuse Journalist and ‘Game Change’ Co-Author Mark Halperin of Sexual Harassment

By Oliver Darcy. Veteran journalist Mark Halperin sexually harassed women while he was in a powerful position at ABC News, according to five women who shared their previously undisclosed accounts with CNN and others who did not experience the alleged harassment personally, but were aware of it.

“During this period, I did pursue relationships with women that I worked with, including some junior to me,” Halperin said in a statement to CNN Wednesday night. “I now understand from these accounts that my behavior was inappropriate and caused others pain. For that, I am deeply sorry and I apologize. Under the circumstances, I’m going to take a step back from my day-to-day work while I properly deal with this situation.”

Widely considered to be one of the preeminent political journalists, Halperin, 52, has, among other career highlights, been political director at ABC News; co-authored the bestselling book “Game Change,” which was made into an HBO movie starring Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin; and anchored a television show on Bloomberg TV. He currently serves as an analyst for NBC News, making frequent appearances on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” and is featured in Showtime’s “The Circus,” a show that chronicled the 2016 campaign cycle and the early days of the Trump presidency, and has a project in development with HBO, which, like CNN, is owned by Time Warner.

Kathy Griffin Goes ‘Psycho’ on Trump Once Again

/0 Comments/in , /by

Apparently posing with a fake decapitated, bloody head of President Trump wasn’t far enough for comedian Kathy Griffin, who is at it again – this time accusing “Trump folks” of being “psychos” and telling the world America has “a Nazi in the Oval Office.”

“I’m going to call [Trump] a moron and a Nazi,” Griffin said during a Tuesday evening interview with the Australian talk show, “The Project.” “Americans are skittish about calling him a Nazi, but he is one. There’s a Nazi in the Oval Office.”

After comparing the sitting U.S. president to genocidal maniacs who killed more than six million Jews, Griffin insisted Americans must “get rid of him soon.”

“He’s a big liar and everybody should get rid of him soon,” she said, adding, “Not violently. Vote him out.”

As WND reported, Griffin sparked public outrage in May when she posed in a bloody photo shoot with a mock head of a decapitated President Trump. (Read more from “Kathy Griffin Goes ‘Psycho’ on Trump Once Again” HERE)

Iconic Musician Rejects Homosexuality

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iconic musician Little Richard is renouncing his past life of sexual immorality, saying he believes same-sex relationships are “unnatural affections.”

In previous interviews, the famous singer referred to himself as “omnisexual,” revealing in an interview with GQ five years ago that he lived a life of perversion, including orgies.

But in an extensive interview with Three Angels Broadcasting Network, an Illinois-based Christian and health-oriented television and radio network, Little Richard says he has repented and turned to Jesus Christ for salvation.

“When I first came in show business they wanted you to look like everybody but yourself,” he recalled.

“And, anybody that comes in show business they gonna say you gay or straight,” he said. “God made men, men and women, women. You’ve got to live the way God wants you to live…he can save you,” the 84-year-old singer told the Christian broadcaster. (Read more from “Iconic Musician Rejects Homosexuality” HERE)

John McCain: I Gave Russia Blackmail Dossier on Trump to FBI

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. John McCain admitted Wednesday that he gave the FBI a dossier detailing claims of a Russian blackmail plot against President-elect Donald Trump.

The Arizona lawmaker, a longtime Trump critic, made the public statement as questions piled up about his alleged role in spreading an unverified and error-riddled document that Trump has denounced as “a complete and total fabrication.”

“Late last year, I received sensitive information that has since been made public,” McCain said.

“Upon examination of the contents, and unable to make a judgment about their accuracy, I delivered the information to the Director of the FBI. That has been the extent of my contact with the FBI or any other government agency regarding this issue.” (Read more from “John McCain: I Gave Russia Blackmail Dossier on Trump to FBI” HERE)
