Comey’s Latest Post Triggers Concerns He’s Preparing an Insanity Defense, and a 2020 Run?

/0 Comments/in , /by

An odd photo that disgraced former FBI Director James Comey posted to Twitter on Saturday triggered concerns that he might be planning a presidential run in 2020.

The photo depicted Comey standing in the middle of a cornfield field in Iowa, a state that tends to attract a lot of presidential contenders because it holds the first contest of the presidential primary season.

. . .

The photo Comey tweeted from Iowa over the weekend was actually his second one. He had tweeted his first Iowa photo a day earlier.

So is he planning a run for the presidency or what? Most likely not. As noted by CNN contributor Susan Hennessey in a tweet Saturday, the former FBI director’s in-laws live in Iowa, ergo why he vacations there from time to time:

A Recent Poll Reveals That Liberals Want NK Deal to Fail, Just so Trump Can’t Get Credit

/0 Comments/in , /by

Irrational hatred for President Donald Trump runs deep among the left. So deep, in fact, that a majority of unfunny comedian Michelle Wolf’s audience hopes the president fails to achieve peace with North Korea, even if that means all of America must forever contend with the perpetual risk of a nuclear war erupting.

This astonishing discovery was made during an episode of Wolf’s equally unfunny Netflix special, “The Break with Michelle Wolf.” . . .

“Are you sort of hoping we don’t get peace with North Korea so you wouldn’t have to give Trump credit?” the obnoxious comedian, who acquired nationwide notoriety in April after she insulted White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders during the White House Correspondents Dinner, asked her audience.

An astonishing 71 percent of her audience chose “yes.” Let that sink in …

While it remains unclear when exactly the episode was recorded, the clip above first appeared on social media around June 4, meaning the poll was taken before the president met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un but after their historic summit had been scheduled.

Conway: Has the FBI Agent Who Called Trump Supporters ‘Retarded’ Been Fired Yet?

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House senior advisor Kellyanne Conway spoke with NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday to discuss a variety of issues, but raised an interesting question – has anybody been fired from the FBI yet after the scandalizing Inspector General report showed immense bias amongst certain FBI agents?

“… It’s so disturbing to anyone, Chuck, when you read this IG report and you see some of the comments that are being made in text messages. On September 9th, the same day that Hillary Clinton would go on to refer to President Trump’s supporters as irredeemable and deplorable. The same day, an FBI agent according to the IG report referred to Trump’s supporters in Iowa, excuse me, Ohio as ‘retarded’. Are we comfortable with that? Who is that person? Does that person still work at the FBI? Are they still getting government resources? Do they have his top secret security clearance?” Conway asked host Chuck Todd. (emphasis added).

. . .

“Are you comfortable with the fact that the New York FBI office was leaking stuff to Devin Nunes in September of 2016 as well? I mean, against Hillary Clinton,” Todd retorted. . .

“Well, I’m very uncomfortable that in, apparently, in exchange for some leaks, that FBI officials were taking gifts from journalists. And you should be very concerned, too. I’m sure you are. That people are being offered meals, and tickets to games and things of real value. What were they getting in exchange? A new friend? Or someone who would be a source for them? It’s very disconcerting. There are many disconcerting things in this report. And I know people are running around cherry picking it according to their own political point of view. What I would, what I would recommend, Chuck, is that everybody take the time to really digest 568 pages,” Conway said.

There’s a Reason Liberals Are Always so Angry

/0 Comments/in , /by

Have you ever wondered why rage seems to be “all the rage” with liberals these days? Every time you turn around there’s another march for this or protest against that; recycled chants about how something “has got to go,” and a fawning media all too happy to report it as if it were news. It’s not news, of course, it’s a mass temper tantrum by political activists still unhappy their fellow Americans chose to reject Hillary Clinton in 2016. But there’s more to it than that, something strategic is at play.

Have you ever stubbed your toe and cursed in front of someone you otherwise would never consider using that kind of language in front of? Or gotten so mad while trying to fix something that you’ve ended up slamming it and making it worse? It’s likely you’ve done this or something similar because of one simple fact: emotion overrides logic.

When you’re angry or when you’re scared you aren’t thinking straight, you’re acting on emotion. That’s the state liberals have been keeping their base in since Donald Trump won the presidency.

To one degree or another, modern liberals have always used fear and anger to motivate their voters. After 9/11, Democrats ran on variations of “Republican policies are making us less safe.” With the terror attacks of that September morning still fresh in people’s minds, that was not designed to inspire.

To hear liberals tell it, this country is fundamentally racist and killing the planet. They, however, are the gatekeepers of fixing it all. (Never mind the fact that cities where they’ve had complete control for generations – Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, etc. – are used for backdrops for movies about post-apocalyptic futures because they require so little set construction.)

Meghan McCain Schools Joy Behar on Immigration After Ridiculous ‘Nazi Germany’ Comparison

/0 Comments/in , /by

Once again, Meghan McCain was the lone voice of reason on “The View” this week, this time as the ladies were discussing immigration. She is one courageous woman to hold the only point of rationality in a room full of agitated ignorance. To breakout applause, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Whoopi Goldberg were opining on the Trump administration’s policy of separating children and families at the border in order to discourage illegal immigration and groundless claims for asylum.

Behar called the policy of separating children from their parents “vicious” and likened it to Nazi Germany, although it is completely within the bounds of asylum law in this country. When a family requests asylum at a port of entry, they must demonstrate a “credible fear” of harm if they return to their home country. Many do. But Border Patrol officers say migrants are being coached to use “magic words” so they will fall within the statute of credible fear. . .

Meghan McCain sat in dignified silence through all of the rantings and then spoke up. “I disagree with a lot of what everyone’s saying.” She attempted to connect the dots of how we got to such a draconian “zero tolerance” policy, but she was essentially shouted down by the others who claim to know just fine, thank you very much, exactly how we got here.

I’m sure no one was listening, but Meghan had the final word: “We are a nation of borders and laws. If we are a nation without borders and laws, then we are not a nation.”

What is a nation? It’s a group of people with common descent, shared history and culture, and a bounded piece of land to call our own. It just so happens that the American nation is unique in all the world. No other country is an ideal always in the making. Millions of people long to come here because they want to be part of that ideal. The ideal only lives and they can only come if there’s a “here” to come to. A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation. (Read more from “Meghan McCain Schools Joy Behar on Immigration After Ridiculous ‘Nazi Germany’ Comparison” HERE)

Top Court Rules Against Christian Law School: LGBT ‘Rights’ Trump Religious Freedom

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court of Canada ruled today that LGBT sexual equality “rights” trump religious rights in an unprecedented blow against religious freedom in Canada.

In a pair of 7-2 rulings, the court ruled that it was “proportionate and reasonable” for the law societies of British Columbia and Ontario to refuse accreditation to future Trinity Western University students because the proposed Christian law school’s “community covenant” would discriminate against LGBTQ people.

“In our respectful view, the [law societies] decision not to accredit Trinity Western University’s proposed law school represents a proportionate balance between the limitation on the Charter right at issue and the statutory objectives the [law societies] sought to pursue,” the ruling stated.

The ruling means that future grads from Trinity Western University’s law school — if the school, in fact, opens — will not be able to practice law in Ontario and B.C.

TWU, a private Christian college associated with the Evangelical Free Church, requires students to sign a commitment to refrain from any sexual activity “that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman.” (Read more from “Top Court Rules Against Christian Law School: LGBT ‘Rights’ Trump Religious Freedom” HERE)

Comey’s FBI Was Protecting the Legitimacy of the Presumed Clinton Presidency

/0 Comments/in , /by

In late October of 2016 James Comey knew Donald Trump’s candidacy was as dead as a doornail. That must be distinctly understood or nothing wonderful can come from the story I am going to relate. Time soothes the edges of old emotions. We forget the shock of that election night. Almost two years now of articles and TV takes, even books, make Trump’s election seem understandable, even sometimes inevitable.

But that’s not how it was then. When FBI director Comey and the FBI dropped their late October Anthony Weiner surprise, they did so fully confident that Hillary Clinton would win. What we now know for certain from the Department of Justice inspector general report that came out Thursday is that the FBI chose to disclose the Weiner email fiasco to protect a Clinton presidency, a foregone conclusion, from potential claims from Trump that the FBI had rigged the election. . .

Comey gave us a taste of this back in April when George Stephanopoulos asked if he was assuming Clinton would win. He said: “I don’t remember consciously thinking about that, but it must have been. I was operating in a world where Hillary Clinton was going to beat Donald Trump. I’m sure that it was a factor. I don’t remember spelling it out, but it had to have been. That she’s going to be elected president, and if I hide this from the American people, she’ll be illegitimate the moment she’s elected, the moment this comes out.”

Whatever acid trip Comey was on that makes him feel only now that somehow this reality must have unconsciously affected his decision-making, the IG report presents much more self-aware choices. Take this testimony from Comey himself. The norm he talks about is not revealing information that can affect an election in the days leading up to it:

And so I said okay, those are the doors. One says speak, the other says conceal. Let’s see what’s behind the speak door. It’s really bad. We’re 11 days from a presidential election. Given the norm I’ve long operated under, that’s really bad. Open the second one. Catastrophic. And again this is something reasonable people can disagree about, but my view was to conceal at that point given all I had said would be catastrophic. Not just to the Bureau, but beyond the Bureau…

Trump BLASTS ‘Fake News’ Media for This Huge Claim

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Daily Caller. President Donald Trump slammed the “fake news” media’s reporting on the G7 summit in a Friday tweet.

Trump specifically addressed reports that he did not get along with other world leaders like Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the 2018 G7 Summit. . .

The president responded to similar criticism during the G7 Summit when a reporter asked about the alleged tensions between the leaders. When Trump found out the reporter was from CNN, he called the network “the worst” and asserted that the relationship with other leaders was at a “10.”

Trump blasts ‘Fake News Media’ for G7 reporting, posts photos of smiling at summit

By Fox News. President Trump hit back at criticisms over his interactions with world leaders at the G7 summit last weekend in Canada, claiming Friday on Twitter that the “fake news media” were “once again, WRONG!”

“I have a great relationship with Angela Merkel of Germany, but the Fake News Media only shows the bad photos (implying anger) of negotiating an agreement – where I am asking for things that no other American President would ask for,” the president wrote alongside a series of photos that showed smiling interactions with the German chancellor and other leaders.

Those images were in stark contrast to a viral photo of Trump at the summit which showed what appeared to be a frustrated Merkel leaning in toward the president and national security advisor John Bolton. Trump, smirking, had his arms crossed in the photo.

Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau butted heads during the summit over tariffs. During the event the president agreed to participate in a group statement on trade – only to reverse course after Trudeau criticized Trump’s tariff threats at a summit-ending news conference.

At that event – which occurred after Trump had already left – the prime minister said that Canada wouldn’t be “pushed around” by the U.S. The declaration led to a subsequent tweetstorm from the president in which he lamented that “Fair Trade is now to be called Fool Trade.” (Read more from “Trump blasts ‘Fake News Media’ for G7 reporting, posts photos of smiling at summit” HERE)

Trump Says He’s Not Calling Kim out on Human Rights – This Is Why

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Friday, President Trump was asked by the press about his obvious unwillingness to call out North Korean dictator Kim Jung Un on his brutal human rights violations. His answer: he doesn’t want your children to die in a nuclear hellstorm. Because apparently, that’s the binary choice: either massage a tinpot dictator, or he’ll fire nuclear weapons at us. Never mind that presidents have excoriated the Kim family’s human rights record for decades; never mind that President Trump himself spoke in heartbreaking terms about North Korea’s human rights violations in January, at the State of the Union Address, where he touted a North Korean escapee who had been crippled by the juche state. No, if Trump doesn’t flatter Kim now, your kids will end up like the kids at the playground in the dream sequence from Terminator 2.

Watch: Analysts Claim Trump Admin Is Operating Concentration Camps

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two MSNBC analysts falsely claimed on Friday that the Trump administration is operating concentration camps for illegal immigrant children who are separated from their parents.

Guests Stephanie Cutter and Michael Steele made the remarks, which went completely unchallenged by host Stephanie Ruhle. . .

“We can’t find a solution to this problem without harming children? Without putting them in concentration camps?” Cutter asked, according to the Free Beacon.

“I call this a concentration camp for kids,” Steele said. “When you give kids 22 hours of lock-up time and two hours of airtime, what else can it be? And if this is where this country’s going, the American people need to wake up and pay attention, because your kids could be next.”
