Obama’s Former Doctor Says Biden Is ‘Not a Healthy Guy’

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of President Obama’s former doctors reportedly disputed a letter released by former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign in which the former vice president’s own doctor praised the 77-year-old presidential candidate as a “healthy, vigorous” man.

“He’s not a healthy guy,” said Dr. David Scheiner, who previously served as Obama’s physician. According to the Washington Examiner, Scheiner read Biden’s medical history and said the presidential candidate “has a lot of issues.”

“He’s not in bad shape for his age, but I wouldn’t say he’s in outstanding health. Could I guarantee he won’t have issues for the next four years? He has a lot of issues that are just sort of sitting there,” Scheiner said.

Scheiner previously told the Examiner that Biden “looked frail” during the first Democratic primary debate. “I sort of got the feeling he wasn’t very strong. It was similar to the feeling I got when Republicans started attacking Mueller so fiercely,” he said.

Questions about Biden’s health and age have repeatedly come up since even before the former vice president declared his candidacy in April. In September, Biden committed to publicly releasing his medical records before the Iowa caucuses, to try and put to rest concerns over whether he was fit enough to take on President Trump in a general election campaign — and whether he would be up to the rigors and stress of serving as president.

New Trump Rule Makes It Harder for Obamacare to Fund Abortion

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) today released a final rule making it more difficult for Obamacare plans to fund abortion by requiring certain insurers to issue separate bills for the portion of customers’ premiums that cover abortion.

“Being good stewards of taxpayer dollars and faithfully implementing the law are among the most important duties HHS has, and that’s what we’re doing with this rule,” said Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Alex Azar. “The rule is part of much broader efforts at CMS, under Administrator Verma, to improve program integrity and reduce improper payments.”

“When [a healthcare] exchange plan covers abortions for which public funding is prohibited by federal law, this rule requires that customers receive separate bills for that abortion coverage and for the rest of their insurance,” he explained. “Providing these separate bills is an essential step in implementing the Affordable Care Act’s bar on tax credits going toward coverage of abortions for which public funding is prohibited.” . . .

CMS explained in a statement: “Pursuant to the law, this rule will ensure that taxpayers do not contribute funds to pay for coverage of abortion services for which funding isn’t allowed by law, and will alert consumers that their health plan covers abortion services, allowing them to make fully informed decisions about their coverage.” (Read more from “New Trump Rule Makes It Harder for Obamacare to Fund Abortion” HERE)

Nancy Pelosi Invites Trump to Deliver State of the Union Address

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has invited President Donald Trump to deliver a State of the Union address on February 4th, 2020 — just 48 hours after leading the House Democrats’ partisan impeachment inquiry.

“In their great wisdom, our Founders crafted a Constitution based on a system of separation of powers: three co-equal branches acting as checks on each other. To ensure that balance of powers, the Constitution calls for the president to ‘from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union,’” Pelosi wrote in a letter to the president on Friday.

“In the spirit of respecting our Constitution, I invite you to deliver your State of the Union address before a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, February 4, 2020 in the Chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives,” the California Democrat added.

The invitation comes as Pelosi remains noncommittal about when she will send the impeachment articles — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — to the Senate for a trial. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) met Thursday to discuss potential parameters of a trial, though they did not come to an agreement before leaving Washington, D.C., for Christmas.

Zuckerberg Owned Instagram ‘Fact-Checking,’ Filtering Satirical Posts and Memes

/0 Comments/in , /by

Facebook-owned Instagram is “fact-checking” satirical posts and memes on the platform via its third-party fact-checkers, and filtering them from hashtag and “explore” results.

A spokeswoman for Facebook confirmed that satirical images of far-left climate activist Greta Thunberg had indeed been tagged with warnings that “fact-checkers” had rated the images as “false,” as originally reported by Summit.

“We work with third-party fact-checkers to help identify, review, and label false information on Instagram,” said the spokeswoman. “When content is rated as false or partly false by a third-party fact-checker, we reduce its distribution by removing it from Explore and hashtag pages. In addition, we label the content so people can better decide for themselves what to read, trust, and share.” . . .

This is not the first time that a Facebook property has confused satire with factual assertions. Facebook itself landed itself in controversy last summer when it warned the Christian conservative satirical website The Babylon Bee that its content would be suppressed on the platform if it continued to post articles that were disputed by fact-checkers.

Judge Gives Ex-FBI Agent a Week in Jail for Spying on Pro-Trump Activist

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge has sentenced an FBI agent who was fired for illegally accessing his neighbor’s email to spend a week in jail and serve 50 hours of community service.

Mark Tolson, 60, pleaded guilty in September to digging through the email account of Washington lobbyist Jack Burkman, who aided 22-year-old Jacob Wohl in a scheme to scuttle ex-special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. U.S. District Court Judge Leonie Brinkema sentenced Tolson on Friday, according to Politico.

Tolson accessed Burkman’s email account and combed through the lobbyist’s communications to head off Burkman and Wohl’s attempts to smear Mueller. Wohl had offered multiple women money to level sexual harassment allegations against Mueller, and Wohl and Burkman later claimed at a press conference that they had located a victim of harassment by Mueller.

Tolson’s wife had the password to Burkman’s email after doing some work for the lobbyist, and she provided the password to her husband. Tolson accessed Burkman’s email and sent screenshots of messages as well as the login information to Burkman’s email account to a journalist.

Tolson told Brinkema that he broke the law “to protect Director Mueller” from Burkman and Wohl’s smear campaign.

Leftist Actor Calls for ‘Bag of S**T’ to Be Rubbed in Trump’s Face

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Washington Examiner. Actor Robert De Niro joined liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore to bash President Trump in an hour-long podcast.

De Niro, 76, went off on President Trump in the latest episode of Moore’s podcast, Rumble with Michael Moore. During the hour-long interview, De Niro called Trump a “pig” and a “disgrace to the human race.”

This wasn’t a new line of attack for De Niro, who has harshly criticized Trump since he announced his 2016 campaign. Moore asked De Niro about his past remarks about wanting to punch Trump in the face. . .

De Niro responded, “I’d like to see a bag of s**t right in his face. Hit him right in the face like that, and let the picture go all over the world. And that would be the most humiliating thing.”

He added, “He needs to be humiliated. He needs to be confronted, and he needs to be humiliated by whoever his political opponent is.” (Read more from “Leftist Actor Calls for ‘Bag of S**T’ to Be Rubbed in Trump’s Face” HERE)

Trump Critic Pierce Brosnan Offers Some Praise for the President

By Daily Wire. “James Bond” actor Pierce Brosnan is no fan of President Donald Trump. In fact, the Ireland-born actor once even threatened to leave the United States over the president allegedly “tearing apart” the nation.

But on the economy, says Brosnan, President Trump is doing undeniably good work.

“I think what he’s done for the economy is very good,” Brosnan told ITK in a recent interview, according to The Hill.

“People are working, and that’s a step in the right direction,” the 66-year-old actor said.

“This country is part of my life,” Brosnan continued. “I’m an American citizen. I love America and America’s been very good to me. And I want to see happiness come back into our society.” (Read more from “Trump Critic Pierce Brosnan Offers Some Praise for the President” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

New York prosecutors have charged 96 MS-13 members and associates in what law enforcement is calling the largest takedown of the notorious street gang in state history. . .

The nearly two-year investigation, which involved both local and federal law enforcement, netted nine area leaders and thwarted seven murder plots, officials announced during a news conference Friday afternoon, provided below by ABC News.

“The goal of this investigation was to deliver a major blow to the gang’s leadership, operations and recruitment in our region … we did exactly that,” Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy Sini told reporters.

Sini added that the operation helped “end” MS-13’s program in Suffolk County, which had become a hotbed for the gang on the East Coast.

According to Fox News, the arrests made were for a range of crimes including conspiracy to commit murder, drug trafficking, and weapons sales, and the ages of those arrested range from 16 to 59 and include both U.S. citizens and illegal immigrants.

2020 Dem Slams Pelosi for Making up Impeachment Rules

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii) is not impressed with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to delay sending articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate.

During an interview on Friday, Gabbard — who voted “present” on impeachment, criticizing what she called the “partisan process” on display — said of Pelosi’s move, “You can’t…make up the rules as you go.” . . .

Gabbard was asked about Speaker Pelosi’s tactic during a sit-down with Hill.TV on Thursday, and responded, “I was surprised to hear that. Look, I think that you can’t kind of just shift and change and make up the rules as you go along. If you’re going to pursue this process, you’ve got to let it play out the whole way through.” (Read more from “2020 Dem Slams Pelosi for Making up Impeachment Rules” HERE)

Establishment Hack “Judge” Napolitano Says There’s Undisputed Evidence Trump Abused Power (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano said evidence that President Donald Trump abused his presidential powers was “undisputed” in an article published Wednesday in The Washington Times.

Impeachment proceedings against Trump are expected to be passed by the House of Representatives Wednesday night.

“High crimes and misdemeanors is a basis for impeachment, the constitutional remedy for presidential behavior that subverts our democratic institutions,” Napolitano wrote. “In Mr. Trump’s case, we have undisputed evidence that he abused his power by inviting a foreign government to interfere in the 2020 presidential election and then compounded this by directing subordinates to refrain from giving congressionally commanded evidence of his behavior.”

Napolitano cited three reports from the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding the law of presidential prosecutions written during the investigations into presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton. Two of the reports came to the conclusion that “no president could be charged or prosecuted while in office.”
