Surprising Poll Reveals How Americans Truly Feel About So-Called Russian Collusion

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Federalist. An overwhelming majority of Americans don’t think the ongoing probe into whether Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with Russian officials to steal the presidency from Hillary Clinton is that important, according to a new Gallup poll.

A record-breaking number of Americans (22 percent) think immigration is the most important problem facing the United States, while 19 percent say dissatisfaction with the U.S. government is the biggest problem and 7 percent think racism is the most important issue.

A combined total of 16 percent of Americans list unifying the country, lack of respect for one another, and the economy in general as the most important issues. The other issues that make it to the top of the list are health care (according to 3 percent of Americans), and ethics and morality (according to another 3 percent of those surveyed).

The ongoing probe to investigate to what extent Russia was involved in Trump’s electoral victory in 2016 was nowhere on the list of the top eight issues most Americans (70 percent) say are the most important ones the United States is facing.

Of the Republican voters surveyed, 35 percent thought immigration was the most important issue. Of Independent voters, immigration topped the charts, but a much smaller plurality (22 percent) said this was the most important issue.

Trump-Russia: FBI Believed Carter Page ‘Collaborated and Conspired’ With Moscow

By The Guardian. The Trump administration has released documents related to the surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, as part of an investigation into whether he colluded with Russia to undermine the 2016 US presidential election.

A surveillance application filed by the FBI in October 2016, a month before the election, said: “The FBI believes that Page has been collaborating and conspiring with the Russian government.”

Page has consistently denied working as an agent of the Russia and has not been charged with any crime after almost two years of investigation.

In an interview with CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, he reiterated his denials and described the FBI’s application to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (Fisa) court as “so ridiculous it’s beyond words”. He accused law enforcement of misleading the court.

“I’ve never been an agent of a foreign power by any stretch of the imagination,” he said. (Read more from “Trump-Russia: FBI Believed Carter Page ‘Collaborated and Conspired’ With Moscow” HERE)

Watch: Marcus Luttrell Has Incredible Response to Teen Who Destroyed Memorial for Slain Navy SEAL

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Long Island teenager was arrested last week after police say he vandalized a memorial for slain Navy SEAL Lt. Michael Murphy, a Medal of Honor recipient.

Fellow Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell, who was saved by Murphy’s actions during Operation Red Wings in 2005, reacted to the incident on Fox News over the weekend, providing an incredible response. . .

Luttrell went on to explain how he believes the situation should be handled. First, he suggested the reward money be used to rebuild the memorial. Then, he said he would love the opportunity to show the boy what type of man Murphy was.

“Send him to me. Take that kid, don’t put him in jail. You can send him out here to me and I’ll put him to work and show him what kind of man Mike was,” Luttrell said. “We all make mistakes and we push past them. That’s how we become the man that we’re bound a destined to be.” . . .

When asked what he would say to the boy if given the opportunity, Luttrell said the first thing he would say to the kid is, “Why don’t you tell me what’s going on?”

This Is What Deported Illegal Aliens Are Intentionally Doing With Their Children

/0 Comments/in , , /by

More than 100 illegal-alien parents who recently have been deported intentionally left their children behind in the United States, according to the head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. . .

“They might have a family member who that child can be placed with in the U.S., but that is the parent’s decision,” [Kevin McAleenan] said, according to Breitbart News.

The revelation comes amid emotional protests of the Trump administration’s policy of enforcing a law that requires children of adults being prosecuted for illegal entry to be temporarily housed in shelters apart from the parents. President Trump responded to the protests with an executive order that effectively reinstated the “catch-and-release” policy of trusting illegal immigrants to show up at a court hearing.

Jessica Vaughan, policy director at the Center for Immigration Studies, told Breitbart that the “whole point of bringing the kids was to get the kids into the United States to live with friends or [extended] family.” . . .

“The parents are willing participants in the criminal act of smuggling, willingly putting their children in this dangerous situation, and willingly separating themselves from their kids, and willingly remaining separated,” she said.

Drunk Man Attempts to Punch Police Officer Outside Bar. It Was a Huge Mistake.

/0 Comments/in , /by

A drunk man was arrested in Memphis last week after he pushed, and then attempted to punch, a Memphis police officer. . .

According to WHBQ-TV, employees at a popular restaurant off Beale Street flagged down officers to deal with a drunken and disorderly man around 11 p.m. last Wednesday. Court records said Joseph Pszczola was yelling and causing a scene.

When police arrived, they asked Pszczola, who reportedly smelled of alcohol and was slurring his words, to vacate the premises. Pszczola failed to comply and continued to cause a scene.

The confrontation escalated when officers escorted Pszczola to a parking lot outside, WREG-TV reported. That’s when Pszczola shoved and then attempted to punch one of the officers. However, it was a grave mistake — and the officer fought back.

The officer struck Pszczola in the face, causing him to hit the ground. His arrest photos show how hard the officer punched him. According to WHBQ, the officer and Pszczola were transported to a local hospital and were OK.

MSM Promos Idea That Parents Can Let Children Decide Their Own Genders — This Is What They’re Called

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. Some parents are deciding to let their children choose their own genders, and the idea is popping up in a variety of mainstream media reports. . .

The news outlet explains how two Cambridge, Massachusetts, parents are encouraging their children to blur the gender lines:

Three-year-old twins Zyler and Kadyn Sharpe scurried around the boys and girls clothing racks of a narrow consignment store filled with toys. Zyler, wearing rainbow leggings, scrutinized a pair of hot-pink-and-purple sneakers. Kadyn, in a T-Rex shirt, fixated on a musical cube that flashed colorful lights. At a glance, the only discernible difference between these fraternal twins is their hair — Zyler’s is brown and Kadyn’s is blond.

Is Zyler a boy or a girl? How about Kadyn? That’s a question their parents, Nate and Julia Sharpe, say only the twins can decide. The Cambridge, Mass., couple represent a small group of parents raising “theybies” — children being brought up without gender designation from birth.

. . .

“A theyby is, I think, different things to different people,” parent Nate Sharpe told NBC News. “For us, it means raising our kids with gender-neutral pronouns — so, ‘they,’ ‘them,’ ‘their,’ rather than assigning ‘he,’ ‘she,’ ‘him,’ ‘her’ from birth based on their anatomy.” (Read more from “MSM Promos Idea That Parents Can Let Children Decide Their Own Genders — This Is What They’re Called” HERE)

‘Boy or Girl?’ Parents Raising ‘Theybies’ Let Kids Decide

By NBC News. Parents in the U.S. are increasingly raising children outside traditional gender norms — allowing boys and girls to play with the same toys and wear the same clothes — though experts say this is happening mostly in progressive, well-to-do enclaves. But what makes this “gender-open” style of parenting stand out, and even controversial in some circles, is that the parents do not reveal the sex of their children to anyone. Even the children, who are aware of their own body parts and how they may differ from others, are not taught to associate those body parts with being a boy or girl. If no one knows a child’s sex, these parents theorize, the child can’t be pigeonholed into gender stereotypes.

This type of parenting received widespread attention in 2011, when a Toronto couple announced that they were raising their child, Storm, without gender designation, sparking a media frenzy. Progressive parents, who see their child’s gender as fluid rather than binary, took notice. A Brooklyn couple runs a blog featuring their 2-year-old, Zoomer, and offering advice on how to navigate the world while raising a “theyby.” Others have taken to Instagram to share photos and support.

Former ICE Chief: We’ve Arrested More Than 2,000 Sexual Predators

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. Today on Fox News, former director of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Thomas Homan, responded to comedian Michelle Wolff’s parody video comparing ICE to the terrorist organization ISIS. Homan condemned the video and explained that ICE has “arrested over 2,000 child predators” among other nefarious criminals who threaten the public.

Yesterday, Michelle Wolff released a mock recruiting video for ICE, featuring officers saying things such as “ICE is … rooting out the foreign enemy” and “ICE is … attacking when they least expect.” It also featured scenes reminiscent of the Islamic State’s propaganda such as tactical training and masked men. Wolff, dressed as Homeland Security Secretary, Kirstjen Nielsen, ends the video by saying “there’s no better representation of American values right now than ICE is.”

Hillary Clinton Bashes Trump on Immigration

By Fox News. Saturday in the park with Hillary Clinton turned out to be a chance to listen to the former Democratic presidential nominee take aim, once again, at President Donald Trump. . .

Clinton lambasted Trump’s controversial immigration policies as well as his widely criticized summit in Helsinki last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Decades of “absorbing immigrants” and “opening the doors,” Clinton suggested, “has been to our advantage.”

To anyone who suggests such policies have “hurt America,” the former U.S. secretary of state continued, “they’re not walking around with their eyes open.” (Read more from “Hillary Clinton Bashes Trump on Immigration” HERE)

President Trump Speaks out on Alleged Cohen Recording

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald J. Trump tweeted today that the federal government’s raid of his former attorney, Michael Cohen, was “inconceivable” but that Cohen’s alleged taping of his conversations with Trump are “totally unheard of & perhaps illegal.”

A report surfaced earlier this week that Cohen supposedly “taped a face-to-face conversation with Donald Trump in which the two men discussed buying the rights to a former Playboy Playmate’s story that she had an affair with Mr. Trump more than a decade ago.”

As for the legality of recording a private conversation, the content of what is on the alleged tape matters. As noted by the Washington Post, “New York is a “one-party consent” state, meaning that in general, it is legal to record a conversation as long as at least one party agrees, even if that person is the one doing the recording.

Alleged Cop Killer Should Have Been in Jail for Other Charges

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last week, Townhall reported the senseless killing of Weymouth, MA police officer Sgt. Michael Chesna on July 15th. More than 3,000 people attended a vigil held in Chesna’s honor this past week, but it turns out his alleged killer, Emanuel Lopes, should have been in jail due to violating the conditions of his bail on a drug-dealing charge from October 2017.

The Boston Herald reports that Emanuel Lopes was arrested in October 2017 for dealing cocaine to minors. As part of his bail conditions, Judge Jeanmarie Carroll required that Lopes refrain from all drugs, including legal medicinal marijuana, and be subjected to pre-trial probation drug testing. The bail was set at $500 and was supposed to be revoked if Lopes failed to comply. In February 2018, Lopes failed a drug test, but claimed that he had a medicinal marijuana card at a court appearance in April. But, Lopes’ prosecutors did not recommend bail revocation.

“I tested Mr. Lopes. He was positive for marijuana. He reports to me that he has a THC card,” probation officer Michael Walsh informed the court Assistant Norfolk District Attorney Arthur Czugh ultimately decided against recommending his bail be revoked.

Thus, Lopes was able to roam Weymouth freely. Three months later, he was pulled over by Sgt. Chesna for driving erratically. Lopes exited his vehicle and attacked Sgt. Chesna with rocks, knocking the officer to the ground. The suspect then allegedly stole the officer’s gun and fired at him, which led to the officer’s death. Authorities say that Lopes then shot and killed a nearby 77-year-old neighbor, Vera Adams, who witnessed the event from her porch.

But, Republican Gov. Charlie Baker defended the court’s decisions, saying, “As I understand this, this is a decision that ultimately belongs to the courts. Her decision was made within the bounds of the discretion that she has. For me the question is whether or not we’re doing enough to put enough tools in the toolbox for district attorneys to make decisions about dangerousness and to pursue hearings about dangerousness. That’s where the opportunity I believe rests. (Read more from “Alleged Cop Killer Should Have Been in Jail for Other Charges” HERE)

Woman Gives Birth at Chick-Fil-A, Here’s What the Child’s Promised a Lifetime Of

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Griffin family was in for quite the surprise this past Tuesday when their matriarch, Falon, birthed their daughter in a Chik-Fil-A restaurant.

Apparently, Falon and her husband, Robert, were dropping off their two other children with family friends as she went into labor. The family met their friends at a Chik-Fil-A parking lot since it was on the way to University Hospital in Texas. But, the mother desperately needed to go to the bathroom and convinced the Chik-Fil-A employees to open the closed restaurant to allow her to use the lavatories.

Suddenly, while in the building, Falon knew what was about to happen. The pain was unbearable as she let out a scream. Their newborn baby was on her way. . .

Paramedics arrived 15 minutes later and rushed the family to the hospital. The baby, named Gracelyn Mae Violet Griffin, is now healthy in the hospital. Apparently, her birth certificate lists Chik-Fil-A as the place of birth. “Her birth certificate reads ‘Born in Chick-Fil-A’ and The hospital had me sign the birth certificate as the attending physician,” the Facebook reads.

The restaurant franchise owner told media that “baby Gracelyn will get free Chick-fil-A for life, and has guaranteed her a job when she turns 16.”

Man and Woman Launch Vicious Attack on Seattle Teen for Wearing MAGA Hat in Public

/0 Comments/in , /by

Wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat in Seattle can be dangerous, as one Illinois teenager is sharing with the world.

Ashton Hess, who was vacationing with his family in Seattle recently, has released a video showing how he was harassed for wearing one of the trademark red hats worn by supporters of President Donald Trump.

Hess said that he was with his family waiting for a ride outside the Starbucks Reserve Roastery when the incident occurred, Fox News reported.

“My hat was knocked on the ground and picked up by the girl you see at the beginning of the video. She threw the hat to the man with green hair and he took off with it. He spat on it and then threw it into the street. He continued to curse at and flip off my family,” Hess wrote on his YouTube account, where he posted the video.

(This video contains some language.)

“I did absolutely nothing to provoke anyone around, and was completely blind sided when I was hit. He was quick to run away after my dad, my brother, and I started walking after him. The left doesn’t care about who you are (or) what you stand for. The left only knows that you must be evil,” he wrote.

In the video, Hess tells the man he said spat on his hat, “That’s my property dude. Come on.”

The man then told Hess to “get the f— out (of) this city.”

Hess, who is from Illinois, summarized the incident in an interview with station KIRO.

“This guy just runs up and hits me in the head, knocking my hat off … he took off down the street with it, spit on it and threw it in the street, and he turned around and started cursing at me for no reason,” Hess said.

Hess said there have been times when the hat attracts glares, but he said he “never expected something like to be hit in the head over a hat I was wearing.”

“I want to expose the left for what they do … We have a First Amendment right to believe in whatever we want, and when that stuff gets out about the left side doing things like that, I do think it hurts them more than it helps them,” Hess said.

Hess and his family followed up with an interview with The Daily Wire.

“I was angry that this guy thought he had the right to attack our son because he disagreed with the text on his hat,” The Daily Wire quoted the teenager’s parents as saying. “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion; if you disagree with that opinion, you’re not free to be aggressive.”

The Daily Wire identified the man who harassed Hess as Eddie Jackson. Several tweets from a green-haired man who said he is “non-binary” show him boasting of the incident.

Hess, 17, said he has known the left is intolerant ever since he wore a pro-NRA hat to a left-wing march to see what happened.

“I’ve been exposed to the craziness of the left already,” Hess said. “This was just the second thing that has occurred that’s showed me really how intolerant and unaccepting the left is.” (For more from the author of “Man and Woman Launch Vicious Attack on Seattle Teen for Wearing MAGA Hat in Public” HERE)
