WATCH: Liberal Congresswoman Has Meltdown in House Hearing

Maxine Waters, the frequently outspoken and blunt congresswoman from California, put herself in the spotlight – and perhaps not in a good way – by bullying a witness at a hearing this week.

“Reclaiming my time! Reclaiming my time!” she repeatedly spoke over Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin when he was trying to answer her questions . . .

She questioned him about why she hadn’t gotten a reply to her letter some months ago about President Trump’s finances.

He started to answer, was interrupted and started to answer again. And again. And again.

Waters harassed Mnuchin more than a dozen times in two minutes, preventing him from completing his answer – while complaining she was losing her speaking time. (Read more from “Liberal Congresswoman Has Meltdown in House Hearing” HERE)

D.C. Scrubs ‘ISIS Genocide Against Christians’

The Obama administration repeatedly fudged on the issue of Islam.

Barack Obama himself said Muslims were a key to the founding of the nation and after all, the U.S. wasn’t a Christian nation . . .

Now, a report is confirming that those left in the government, and there are many, from Obama’s tenure are busy trying to erase the references to ISIS’ “genocide” of Christians in the Middle East.

“In a startling revelation, news is breaking this week that Obama holdovers within the State Department are actively attempting to scrub its records to remove any mention of the ISIS genocide against Christians,” the [American Center for Law and Justice] reported.

“This is outrageous and the ACLJ has had enough, so we are preparing a new set of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to find out why – and to expose deep state operatives who would use the delay of confirming new State Department officials as cover to strip legal protections from Christians facing genocide.” (Read more from “D.C. Scrubs ‘ISIS Genocide Against Christians'” HERE)

Transblind: Woman ‘Identifies’ as Blind, Uses Chemicals to Blind Herself Forever

Did you hear that? It was the dying wail of common sense! After seeing this video, I think I am done with the internet for today.

A woman with perfect sight claims she identified as a blind person, and felt like that was just who she was supposed to be. She labeled herself as transblind, and began living her life as if she was without sight.

We can’t make this stuff up!

At what point can we call this “Trans” issue a mental disorder? Is “TransBlind” crazy enough? This North Carolina woman blinded herself on purpose with the help of a Psychologist! Instead of calling her insane, some call her a Hero.

The North Carolina woman says, “When there’s nobody around you that feels the same way, you start to feel like you’re very crazy.” She continued, “I don’t think I’m crazy. I think I have a disorder.” (Read more from “Transblind: Woman ‘Identifies’ as Blind, Uses Chemicals to Blind Herself Forever” HERE)

The Pentagon Is Actively Poisoning Americans Across the US and It’s 100% ‘Legal’

The idea that a government is actively poisoning its citizens may sound like the perfect propaganda plot to send the mainstream media into a feeding frenzy, and to make American neoconservatives beg for the invasion of a sovereign nation—unless it is happening in the United States.

The Department of Defense and its contractors are currently using at least 61 active military sites across the country to “burn and detonate unused munitions and raw explosives in the open air with no environmental emissions controls,” according to a series of bombshell reports from ProPublica that give insight into the largest source of pollution in the country: The Pentagon.

One of those sites is located at an army ammunition plant in Radford, Virginia. The town consists of around 17,000 people, and it is home to an elementary school that “has been ranked by researchers as facing some of the most dangerous air-quality hazards in the country.”

The rate of thyroid diseases in three of the surrounding counties is among the highest in the state, provoking town residents to worry that emissions from the Radford plant could be to blame. Government authorities have never studied whether Radford’s air pollution could be making people sick, but some of their hypothetical models estimate that the local population faces health risks exponentially greater than people in the rest of the region.

Congress banned American industries from using “open burns” to dispose of hazardous waste in 1984, with the land disposal restrictions program for the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. As a result, the Environmental Protection Agency was instructed to specify “either concentration levels or methods of treatment for hazardous constituents to meet before land disposal.”

However, ProPublica noted that lawmakers granted the Pentagon and its contractors “a temporary reprieve from those rules to give engineers time to address the unique aspects of destroying explosive military waste. That exemption has remained in place ever since.”

In the United States, outdoor burning and detonation is still the military’s leading method for dealing with munitions and the associated hazardous waste. It has remained so despite a U.S. Senate resolution a quarter of a century ago that ordered the Department of Defense to halt the practice ‘as soon as possible.’ It has continued in the face of a growing consensus among Pentagon officials and scientists that similar burn pits at U.S. bases in Iraq and Afghanistan sickened soldiers.

As The Free Thought Project reported in February 2016, a former U.S. Marine and Army sergeant detailed the horrific conditions U.S. soldiers faced in Iraq and Afghanistan in a book titled, The Burn Pits: The Poisoning of America’s Soldiers. The book highlighted the constant streams of toxic smoke from the burning of waste, which created lifelong health issues for both soldiers and local civilians.

While the current number of active military sites using operations similar to “burn pits” stands at 61, there are records of nearly 200 sites in the U.S. that have a history of burning hazardous explosives in the open air.

ProPublica noted that facilities such as the one in Radford—which burns raw explosives in bonfire-like piles—operate using special government permits “that are supposed to keep the process safe, limiting the release of toxins to levels well below what the government thinks can make people sick.” However, even the EPA officials who govern the process “acknowledge that the permits provide scant protection.”

In addition to directly affecting the health of residents by polluting the air, the explosive residue from these burn sites is also affecting local residents by poisoning their drinking water.

In Huntsville, Alabama, officials began monitoring the drinking water after they found that the level of perchlorate in the soil was 7,000 times higher than safety limits, and in Grand Island, Nebraska, underground drinking water supplies were affected after explosive residues spread more than 20 miles from the site at the ammunition plant.

The important thing to remember is that according to the United States government, everything they are doing is legal—they have just found loopholes in order to justify any actions that would be considered “illegal” if they were committed by anyone else.

This is another reminder that just because something is “legal,” does not mean it is right, and that—as hundreds of thousands of Americans are experiencing firsthand—the U.S. government does not have the best interest of its citizens in mind, and it is not above poisoning them, in order to fuel the fire that sustains the U.S. war machine.

Mattis Shows Himself to be the Compromised Loser He Is: “Appalled” at Trump’s Announcement of Transgender Military Ban

Defense Secretary James Mattis was caught off guard by President Trump’s announcement that he was banning transgender people from serving in the military, according to a New York Times report.

Mattis, who was on vacation at the time of Trump’s decision, only had one day’s worth of notice before Trump tweeted his announcement of the policy, the paper reported.

The report described him as “appalled.”

Sources close to the Defense secretary told the Times that Mattis was infuriated by the tweets, and saw them as an insult to transgender Americans currently serving in the military . . .

Mattis, according to the Times, had been quietly lobbying Republicans for months to defeat a GOP-led amendment to the 2017 spending bill that would prevent the military from spending money on transition surgery or hormone therapy for transgender service members. The report states that Mattis initially resisted the policy allowing transgender Americans to serve in the armed forces, but accepted that the policy was to remain in place.

Will NeverTrumpers Give Kid Rock a Chance?

In an effort to provide full disclosure in regards to what I’m about to write, I must tell you that I am a Kid Rock superfan.

Though it confused me a little, I have been reading that Kid Rock wants to be a United States senator. It confused me, because based on what I know of Kid Rock (real name, Bobby Ritchie), the job wouldn’t seem to suit him, what with the boring hearings and the boring people and the hidden agendas and the overall fakeness. But then, he’s probably seen about the same in the music business.

And since he doesn’t need the money, power, or prestige, I think he just wants to serve his country. And though I will have to disagree with him on certain issues, I think his candidacy represents a dynamic that conservatives must better understand and adapt to so that the conservative message can be spread instead of being dismissed out of hand as it oftentimes is now.

As the so-called conservative NeverTrumpers have inevitably done with their unwavering opposition to President Trump, the regular so-called working class who came out for Trump are becoming more and more hateful of conservatives in general.

Those people, whether NeverTrumpers like it or not, are the modern-day Reagan Democrats that anyone with half a brain would know are needed to be brought into the fray. And if I hadn’t tuned into Rush Limbaugh on a regular basis in 1995, I would be one of them right now, wishing I could tell NeverTrumpers a thing or two. But I did gravitate to Rush, and then I graduated into the Levin education. And now I see NeverTrumpers defining conservatism, and I want it to stop.

Central to the so-called conservative NeverTrumpers’ case has been indicting Trump’s moral compass over the crudeness of his speech, and his marriages, and so on. As if, based on their judgement, he cannot have the moral fiber to lead. But speaking crudely and being politically incorrect is not the same as being immoral.

Kid Rock makes music that strikes a chord with the working class in my generation, not just because he sings about “eating shrooms, drinkin’ Boones,” but also because he’s honest about his life, his beliefs, his patriotism, and being human. And, at this point, while I’d like to have a clear conservative running in the election that can beat Debbie Stabenow in Michigan, I will take an honest former drug dealer than a lying far-left commie like Stabenow any day.

Look, I want Bob Ritchie to understand the nation’s founding documents and understand why he was “Born Free.” I really want him to understand that this nation was founded because we just don’t like people telling us what to do, and because it had far greater implications on whether man has the right to rule over another man, and breaking the monarchical system by flipping the government model of the time on its head.

I want him to understand that this is the only successful nation that changed the rules from “some get to rule over everyone” to “everyone has a say in what is expected of government.” But I don’t know how much of that he knows. What I do know is that he has probably millions of fans who believe certain honest-to-goodness things about him because of his songwriting and pouring his heart and soul into his music, and his words and actions out of the limelight.

And if he gets in the Senate and acts just like some of the other losers there, he’ll have gone against his own self, let down millions. And I don’t think he could ever do that.

Because whether or not you think singing about drugs and screwing and consuming massive quantities of alcohol is something that can only be sung by a degenerate, I guarantee you that there are plenty of folks in this nation who believe in God, this nation, freedom, and liberty and do all of that too … and show up for work and raise their families.

Conservatism should not become a droning, kvetching group of alarmist, perpetually offended naysayers, shaking their finger at people for having fun. Because it leads to inaction and displays intolerance. If you want to do that, become a preacher and have your own flock. Good luck to you.

But if we are going to reach people who are living in the culture you decry, and you can’t change the culture until you can get through to the people, maybe stop pointing out everything that’s wrong, and start listening to what I consider our political cousins.

Now, this is not meant to be a PSA for the Kid Rock campaign at all. I mean, he could come out tomorrow and say he believes in taxing Americans to deal with global warming and I’d have to politically flay him.

But I merely wish that conservatism as I understand it doesn’t become an idea that is driven by claiming God is on our side, when what is truly needed is that we are on His. And I think a lot of the NeverTrumpers are really mucking up the viability of conservatism by acting like fools and pearl-clutching and playing to their audiences instead of doing what is good for the country.

I think that the themes in Kid Rock songs about God, hard work, living and letting live, striving to be your best, standing in the truth, learning from experience, climbing the mountain. and telling the world where to stick it if they don’t like it are all conservative themes.

He identifies as a libertarian and perhaps he’ll understand and embrace federalism and better develop his views on social issues. As it is, he is running for a seat in Washington, D.C., and he’s not a degenerate; he’s running against one. (For more from “Will NeverTrumpers Give Kid Rock a Chance?” please click HERE)

California’s Deputy AG Arrested on Child Porn Charge

Tips sent earlier in the year to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children by internet service providers concerned about the uploading of child pornography by one of their users eventually led authorities to California’s deputy attorney general.

After the NCMEC received the tips, it forwarded them to the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children task force, which quickly traced the activity to the Coronado home of the state’s deputy attorney general, Joseph Liddy.

Investigators also discovered the age listed on Liddy’s anonymous online profile coincided with his real age.

The son of G. Gordon Liddy, a disbarred lawyer convicted in 1974 for orchestrating the burglary of the Democrat National Committee’s headquarters in the notorious Watergate scandal, Joseph Liddy admitted in an interview with federal agents Tuesday that he may have uploaded child pornography to the web.

Liddy specifically claimed he had used an anonymous screen name to share sexual fantasies online and download and share pornographic pictures that he maintained were of adults but “may have been of children,” according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

When authorities served him with a search warrant and subsequently searched his home, however, they discovered stored images depicting children engaged in sexual activities.

Liddy was thereafter arrested and booked into federal jail on a charge of possessing pornographic images of children.

After entering a plea of not guilty, Liddy was granted release in lieu of a $100,000 bond during an arraignment hearing later that same afternoon with stipulations that he agree to home detention and GPS monitoring, or what’s more commonly known as house arrest.

Speaking with San Diego station KFMB, his attorney Knut Johnson called the charges against his client “a tragedy for everyone included.”

Johnson also provided a stunning defense of his client’s character, calling him “a wonderful person” who’s purportedly “universally loved by a lot of different people who expressed that to me and he is a terrific human being.”

“This is the very beginning of the case and then we will get to the end and figure out what it is all about,” Johnson said.

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra’s office released a statement Wednesday saying it was aware of the charges against Liddy and that he has been placed on administrative leave.

Liddy will return to federal court Aug. 8 for a hearing on the case.

Liddy has served as California’s deputy attorney general since 2008. He’s also a Marine Reservist who served in Iraq. (For more from the author of “California’s Deputy AG Arrested on Child Porn Charge” please click HERE)

Turkish Reporter Admits Fabricating Kushner Quote That Praised Erdogan

A Turkish reporter admitted that he inaccurately quoted White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, who was reported to have lavished praise on Turkish President Recep Erdogan.

A White House official told The Daily Caller Thursday that the quote in the Turkish newspaper AKSAM was “made up.” The reporter, Yavuz Atalay, admitted as much when contacted by TheDC.

The article published Thursday claimed that Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, said that Erdogan “is making Turkey bigger again like US. We watch his efforts with appreciation.”

The piece included a selfie with both Kushner and Atalay.

“He [Atalay] approached Jared for a selfie but is not quoted accurately,” a White House official told TheDC. “It’s made up.” (Read more from “Turkish Reporter Admits Fabricating Kushner Quote That Praised Erdogan” HERE)

This Is a Huge Scandal — but the Media Refuse to Cover It

Leading members of the establishment media are ignoring the months-long House IT scandal rocking congressional Democrats, even after the FBI’s investigation into the matter became public, and even after Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s top IT aide was arrested trying to flee to Pakistan after wiring almost $300,000 to the country.

As of Thursday morning, both the New York Times and Wall Street Journal have yet to report on the growing scandal surrounding several IT staffers employed by House Democrats, including Wasserman Schultz’s top IT aide, Imran Awan.

Other establishment media outlets are similarly refusing to tell the public about the growing scandal. MSNBC has given zero on-air coverage to the scandal. ABC News and NBC News’ national broadcasts have similarly given zero coverage to the scandal. CNN’s only on-air coverage of the scandal so far was a brief mention during the 6 a.m. ET hour Thursday.

As reported by The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Luke Rosiak — who for months has extensively covered the growing scandal — Awan was arrested on Monday as he attempted to flee the country to Pakistan after wiring almost $300,000 to the country. The FBI seized smashed hard drives from Awan’s home as part of the ongoing investigation. (Read more from “This Is a Huge Scandal — but the Media Refuse to Cover It” HERE)

Private Eye: Cops Bailed From Meeting on Seth Rich

Detectives leading the Seth Rich murder investigation agreed to meet with Capitol Hill investigators probing a major Democratic IT scandal to discuss evidence surrounding the alleged hacking of Democratic National Committee emails during the 2016 presidential election, a private eye claims.

But the Metropolitan Police Department canceled its meeting with Capitol Police just hours before it was scheduled to take place, according to former Washington, D.C., homicide detective Rod Wheeler.

Wheeler, who previously worked as the Rich family’s private investigator, told WND he had arranged the meeting between members of the Capitol Police leading the Imran Awan investigation and members of the MPD probing the unsolved murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich . . .

Wheeler claims a thorough investigation of the Awan brothers may reveal more information about Rich’s murder, the 2016 email breach of the Democratic National Committee and the Awan family.

“I’ve been following the arrest of Awan – this is a guy whose name came up a couple of times in my investigation as someone that I should look at,” he said in a phone call to WND Wednesday. “I never really got a chance to look at them in the investigation – but what I did do – I met with the Capitol Hill investigators.
