DEEP STATE COLLUSION: After Election, Obama, Biden Briefed on Private Trump Meeting Before Comey Fed Details to FBI Russia Hoax Team

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A key revelation in the report released last week by the Justice Department’s inspector general raises questions about the roles played by Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Susan Rice and other senior members of the Obama administration in disgraced former FBI Director James Comey’s infamous classified briefing to then President-elect Donald Trump about “salacious” material inside the anti-Trump dossier.

As Breitbart News reported, the IG report relates that prior to the briefing, FBI members on Comey’s team discussed the need to memorialize the exchanges between Comey and Trump during the private January 6, 2017 briefing in Trump Tower just in case Trump made statements relevant to the agency’s controversial Russia probe. In other words, they plotted to stealthily use statements Trump said to Comey in a private briefing to inform their Russia collusion investigation.

The IG further relates that Comey went on to do just that. He had a laptop waiting for him in the car, where he immediately began memorializing his private talk with Trump. He also immediately provided a “quick download” of the Trump briefing to members of “Crossfire Hurricane” – the FBI’s compartmentalized Russia collusion team — via a secured video conference.

The revelation that Comey immediately fed the details of his private meeting with Trump to the FBI team investigation unsubstantiated Russia collusion raises questions about what Obama, Biden, Rice and other Obama-era officials knew about the intent to use the planned briefing to fuel the questionable Russia investigation and surreptitiously pass the contents of the private talk to the FBI.

In his book, A Higher Loyalty, Comey writes that he told Obama, Biden and Rice about his plans to have the private briefing with Trump. He did this on January 5, 2017 in a White House briefing with Obama one day before he met Trump and underhandedly sent the details of their one-on-one to the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” team handling the Russia collusion claims.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Earlier today Walmart CEO Doug McMillon officially announced a number of firearms and ammunition will no longer be sold at stores nationwide. The statement was quite incoherent, but here it is. . .

Just last month an armed citizen became a hero after stopping a mass shooting at a Walmart in Missouri. . .

Last year, an armed citizen stopped a shooting spree in Washington state.

McMillon’s decision makes Walmart customers and employees less safe. (Read more from “Did Walmart’s CEO Forget About These Armed Heroes Who Stopped Massacres at His Stores?” HERE)

Armed Man Arrested at Missouri Walmart; Stopped by Citizen with a Gun

By NBC 25 News. Police in Springfield, Missouri, said they arrested a man who showed up Thursday at a Walmart store carrying a rifle and wearing body armor, terrifying shoppers who fled from the store. . .

Lucas said an off-duty firefighter held the suspect — a 20-year-old man who was not immediately identified — at gunpoint until police arrived about three minutes after receiving an initial call.

“Thankfully, there weren’t any shots fired. I think it’s great that that off-duty fire man was here,” Lucas said. (Read more from “Armed Man Arrested at Missouri Walmart; Stopped by Citizen with a Gun” HERE)

Armed Civilian Kills Gunman, Stops Shooting Spree at Walmart in Washington State

By The Washington Post. A gunman who opened fire inside a Walmart in Washington state and injured at least two people during carjacking attempts was fatally shot by one of two armed civilians on Sunday evening, according to police.

The Thurston County coroner identified the dead suspect as Tim O. Day, 44, though police said they were still piecing together the full story of what happened at the Tumwater, Wash. Walmart. . .

There he attempted to carjack another vehicle, shooting an occupant in it at least twice. Apparently frustrated in his effort, the gunman then attempted a second carjacking.

At that point, Wohl said, two armed civilians in the parking lot confronted the suspect, one of whom fatally shot the man. (Read more from “Armed Civilian Kills Gunman, Stops Shooting Spree at Walmart in Washington State” HERE)

Trump Administration Making Major Move to Build Border Wall

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration is reportedly planning to enact a plan to divert $3.6 billion from military construction projects to build the border wall on the southern border. . .

“Defense Secretary Mark Esper called Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday to detail the cash grab, explaining that about half of the funding will come from military construction projects outside the United States and half will come from projects within the country,” Politico reported. . .

“The high court’s order temporarily settles just one of several skirmishes between the Trump administration and House Democrats, ‘blue’ states led by California, and environmental groups over border wall funds,” USA Today reported at the time. “The court’s five conservative justices lifted an injunction against the border wall spending that had been imposed by a federal district court judge in California and affirmed by a federal appeals court. The injunction blocked spending while the lawsuit challenging it remains pending at the appeals court. ” (Read more from “Trump Administration Making Major Move to Build Border Wall” HERE)

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Trump Administration to restore the press pass of Brian Karem, Playboy’s Senior White House reporter.

Here’s Why the Media Won’t Talk About How the TX Shooter Obtained His Gun

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Seth Aaron Ator committed a brutal crime in Odessa, Texas. He went on a shooting rampage, killing seven and wounded over twenty more. He was killed by police. It’s another mass shooting. Another time for the anti-gun Left to fundraise off the dead. Another cycle of the liberal media taking swipes at the National Rifle Association, Republicans, gun owners, supporters of the Constitution, and rural Americans. Ator had called authorities minutes before he committed this crime. The FBI was called. The shooting began when a police officer tried to pull him over for a traffic violation, Ator forgot to signal while changing lanes, which prompted him to open fire at the officer. He later opened fire on passing cars and hijacked a mail truck, but not before killing a postal worker, according to the Associated Press. Ator has had run-ins with the law. . .

Texas Shooter Got Gun at Private Sale; Denied in 2014 Check

By AP. The gunman in a West Texas rampage that left seven dead obtained his AR-style rifle through a private sale, allowing him to evade a federal background check that blocked him from getting a gun in 2014 due to a “mental health issue,” a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

The official spoke to The Associated Press Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation. The person did not say when and where the private sale took place. . .

Private sales, which some estimates suggest account for 25 to 40 percent of all gun sales, are not subject to a federal background check in the United States. If the person selling the firearm knows the buyer cannot legally purchase or possess a firearm, they would be violating the law. But they are not required to find out if the person can possess a firearm and are not required to conduct a background check.

Trump Immigration Chief Calls out Maryland Sanctuary County as Illegal Alien Rape Charges Stack up

/0 Comments/in , /by

Montgomery County, Maryland, once again found itself the setting for rape and child molestation charges against illegal immigrants last week, and it has now earned direct criticism from a top Trump administration official.

WJLA-TV reported Thursday that Nestor Lopez-Guzman — a 21-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador — has been charged with child molestation against a 12-year-old girl and her younger brother. Guzman confessed to touching the boy’s genitals, but called it a “cultural joke” from El Salvador. Lopez-Guzman’s alleged female victim says that he got “touchative” and said things like “he ‘wanted it’ and to ‘give me it,’” according to court documents.

On Saturday, the same outlet reported that local authorities had also arrested 37-year-old illegal Honduran alien Emilio Carraso-Hernandez following allegations that he raped his 15-year-old stepdaughter multiple times over the course of several days, even once in her grandmother’s bedroom. According to federal authorities, the suspect was deported in 2017 and illegally re-entered the United States afterward, though the time and means of re-entry are unknown.

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services acting director Ken Cuccinelli weighed in on Montgomery County’s illegal alien rape problem Tuesday morning with a tweet that referred to Lopez-Guzman’s arrest and said, “More sanctuary Montgomery county consequences… sad and tragic.”

WJLA points out that these are at least the sixth and seventh illegal immigrants arrested for rape in Montgomery County in the past six weeks.

Last month, Montgomery County authorities arrested two illegal aliens from El Salvador, Mauricio Barrera-Navidad, 29, and Carlos Palacios-Amaya, 28, for raping an 11-year-old child. Then came the case of Rodrigo Castro-Montejo, a Salvadoran illegal immigrant who was apprehended by immigration officials after Montgomery County ignored an ICE detainer and released him on bond despite second-degree rape charges. After that, 26-year-old Kevin Mendoza was arrested and charged with first-degree rape and attempted murder earlier this week in the Washington suburb of Silver Spring. Case number 5 made headlines earlier last week after a Salvadoran illegal immigrant was arrested and charged with the rape of a 16-year-old girl at knifepoint.

Montgomery County was also the setting for the infamous Rockville rape case, in which a 14-year-old girl was allegedly brutally raped by two illegal immigrants in a public school bathroom. One of the accused aliens was from Guatemala, the other from El Salvador.

Millionaire Thought to Have Key Info on Epstein Vanishes ‘Without a Trace’: Detective: Epstein’s Crimes May Have Gone Deeper Than We Thought

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. The founder of a modeling agency, believed by authorities to possess key information about convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, has now gone missing as law enforcement officials desperately search for his whereabouts.

“Jean-Luc Brunel, 72, has vanished as police seek to ask the Frenchman ‘urgent’ questions about the pedophile,” the Daily Mail reported. “Investigators are making inquiries in Brazil [and] the U.S., and European and French prosecutors are also pursuing claims relating to the financier, who died aged 66 before he could face the latest allegations.”

A reported source in Paris told the Daily Mirror that Brunel “is a ghost who has disappeared without a trace.”

“The agency boss was searching for new talent in Brazil until the start of this summer,” the Daily Mail added. “This month, French prosecutors have started a preliminary inquiry into whether Epstein sexually abused minors from France. They say Brunel is ‘uncontactable’ because he has no address, internet accounts or social media.”

Early last month, the focus shifted from Epstein, who allegedly committed suicide in prison, to British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who has been accused of helping arrange Epstein with underage girls.

Detective Mark Fuhrman: Epstein’s Crimes May Have Gone Deeper Than We Thought

By Fox News. In Fox Nation’s popular documentary ‘The Fuhram Diaries’, Former LAPD Detective Mark Fuhrman dives deep into the controversial life and death of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, offering many unknown facts about the financier’s personal life and his high profile death that left a slew of unanswered questions.

Beginning with Epstein’s early life, Furhman takes viewers through Epstein’s upbringing, his rocky educational path, and his early career — painting a picture of scandal and conspiracy that haunted the convicted sex offender and followed him to his death. . .

Epstein’s sudden rise to the top was seemingly suspicious, according to Fuhrman, and he questioned whether Epstein was promoted because he was “procuring sexual dates” for the financial world.

“I’m going to call it bull**** on this,” said Fuhrman. It’s too much — it’s over the top. You look at these positions on Wall Street, they’re coveted, they recruit from the best schools to get into these places, and here he was…a limited partner of the firm,” he explained.

“My question is, was his sexual activity going on there,” Fuhrman continued. “Did it start there? Was that his hook? Because there is no evidence that he was some kind of brilliant financial genius…and I believe his sexual crimes go all the way back to the ’70s,” he said.

Beto Campaign Exploits Mass Shooting by Selling Obscene T-Shirt

/0 Comments/in , /by

Need more proof that Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke is desperately trying to rejuvenate his failing campaign? In the wake of the west Texas shooting, Beto sought to separate himself from his opponents by dropping F-bombs. “We don’t know how many have been killed. We don’t know the motivation. But here’s what we do know: This is f**ked up.”

As PJMedia’s managing editor Paula Bolyard noted, “Swearing doesn’t make you sound hip or passionate. It makes you sound like you’re trying too hard to sound hip and passionate as you’re exploiting the deaths of shooting victims, whose bodies are still warm, for political purposes.” Apparently Beto didn’t get the message because his campaign is now selling shirts with “This is f**ked up” on them in response to the shooting.

Hurricane Dorian Stalls over Bahamas, Still Expected to Bypass South Florida

By The Sun Sentinel. Hurricane Dorian’s likely path finally steered clear of South Florida late Monday as the region still faced the risk of hurricane-force winds from the edges of the storm, according to the National Hurricane Center. Meanwhile, the Category 4 hurricane slowed almost to a standstill as it kept pummeling the Bahamas with intense winds and storm surge.

The National Hurricane Center expects Dorian to resume a west-northwestward motion overnight Monday, followed by a turn northwest late Tuesday night and a northeastward motion expected to begin by Wednesday night.

Despite the favorable movement of the cone of uncertainty, which shows the likely course of the hurricane’s center, forecasters warned Floridians against concluding they had escaped the worst.

“Although the center of Dorian is forecast to move near, but parallel to, the Florida east coast, only a small deviation of the track toward the west would bring the core of the hurricane onshore,” the hurricane center said in a 5 p.m. forecast discussion.

In South Florida, as the storm’s outer bands began sweeping through Monday, towns were desolate and highway traffic sparse from Boca Raton north through St. Lucie County. The storm struck with sporadic periods of driving rain and strong winds: A 56 mph gust was reported at Juno Beach pier. Sustained winds at the pier hit 40 mph, putting them at tropical strength. At 8:29 p.m., the National Weather Service reported a 40 mph gust at its weather station in Palm Beach.

DOJ Seeks Expedited Executions for Mass Murderers with New Proposal

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice has drafted legislation that would speed up the execution of people convicted of committing mass murder, according to Bloomberg. . .

The proposal is expected to be presented to Congress after August recess as part of a legislative package focused on addressing gun violence.

That package could include measures President Donald Trump has expressed support for in recent weeks, including red flag legislation, stronger background checks, and reforms surrounding diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions.

There have been three recent mass killings which have revitalized the gun control debate. In two of them, the gunman was killed at the scene. Critics of this proposed legislation have questioned whether the death penalty would be a deterrent for criminals willing to commit a crime that carries a high probability of resulting in their death.

President Trump on Monday, after seven were shot and killed in Odessa, Texas, over the weekend, did not mention stronger background checks in his remarks, something he was supportive of after the mass murders in Dayton, Ohio and El Paso, Texas last month.
