CNN Lost Their Mind (Again): Guess How Long Their Climate Change Town Hall Is

/0 Comments/in , /by

Just when we thought CNN couldn’t get any more pathetic, they prove us wrong…again. The network on Tuesday announced their climate change town hall. The debate, scheduled for Sept. 4th will be seven hours long. Yes, seven hours. The reason? The network wants to give each of the 10 candidates ample time to respond to questions during this “unprecedented prime-time event.”

Each of the 10 candidates will be given 40 minutes to discuss their plans to address climate change. Hosts Wolf Blitzer, Erin Burnett, Anderson Cooper, Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon will act as moderators. . .

CNN announced the town hall after the Democratic National Committee voted overwhelmingly last week not to host a debate focused on the issue.

Let’s be clear about this: CNN is delusional if they think people are going to watch a seven hour town hall. People can barely handle three hour long debates. But you know what they say… desperate times call for desperate measures. Their ratings are down the toilet and they need something to help revive them.

Fifth Illegal Alien Arrested on Rape Charges in a Month in Sanctuary MD County

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s not clear how many times this needs to happen before the sanctuary politicians are willing to recognize there’s a sex offender problem among illegal aliens, but it appears there is now a fifth case of an illegal alien alleged rape in Montgomery County, Maryland, in a month.

According to ICE spokeswoman Justine Whelan, “On Aug. 14, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodged a detainer with Montgomery County Detention Center on unlawfully present Salvadoran national Nelson Saul Reyes-Medrano following his arrest for rape and other related charges.”

Thanks to the terrific and rare acts of journalism performed by local ABC reporter Kevin Lewis, four previous cases of illegal aliens arrested for rape in the Maryland sanctuary county have come to light this month. If not for his reporting, we would likely never know about these cases. But Lewis recognizes that sanctuary cities either serving as a magnet for sex offenders or sometimes even releasing them in defiance of federal immigration law is a big story. On numerous occasions, CR has been the first outlet to report the immigration status of those who’ve committed high-profile crimes in a given area, ignored by local media. If there was a Kevin Lewis in every major media market, the country would learn the true extent of the illegal alien sex offender problem and the danger of sanctuary cities.

As Lewis notes, Montgomery County, like most jurisdictions, refuses to collect data on the number of rapes (or other crimes) committed by illegal aliens, so there is no way to quantify how often this happens. In one recent case, Montgomery County released a rape suspect in defiance of an ICE detainer.

Montgomery County, with its large population of illegal aliens from El Salvador, has also become a hotbed for MS-13 activity.

Another interesting note is that this suspect supposedly has 10 children. How many of them were born here against the will and laws of the American people, yet thanks to erroneous policies, we are now stuck with them? One of the other accused rapists from this month, Kevin Mendoza, was allegedly trying to rape a 12-year-old girl while his wife was giving birth to a baby who will be regarded as American.

The only question remaining is whether Republicans and the Trump administration will make Montgomery County the rallying cry to declare war on sanctuary cities and weak-on-crime jurisdictions the same way the Left is making El Paso the rallying cry to infringe upon constitutional rights? Or will both parties continue to cover up the child sex problem among illegal aliens and the role sanctuaries play in enabling them to remain here?

The Air Force Set a New Record When Its Secret Space Plane Flew for More Than Two Years Straight

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Air Force has broken its own record after one of its specialized planes stayed in low Earth orbit for nearly two years. But this plane and the project it belongs to are still shrouded in mystery.

According to an Air Force press release revealing some information about the project, the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle is “an experimental test program to demonstrate technologies for a reliable, reusable, unmanned space test platform for the U.S. Air Force.” The mission has the dual objectives of developing “reusable spacecraft technologies for America’s future in space and operating experiments which can be returned to, and examined, on Earth.”

But what the Air Force has been a lot less forthcoming about is why this unmanned plane has been flying for so long continuously and what it’s been doing during its flight. The Washington Post noted that the X-37B stuck to a low Earth orbit, which is the same orbit that holds military satellites and the International Space Station.

The “plane” looks like a mini space shuttle. It’s 29 feet long and 9 feet high, with a wingspan just shy of 15 feet. It was taken into orbit by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in 2017. According to Air & Space magazine, the X-37B moves by using “Hall thrusters” which use “an electric field to accelerate xenon propellant, producing a small but steady thrust that’s useful for many types of spacecraft, including military communications satellites already in orbit.” According to the Air Force, the aircraft is powered by “Gallium Arsenide Solar Cells with lithium-Ion batteries.”

Before this attempt, previous X-37B flights had lasted for 224 days, 469 days, and 674 days. This latest flight lasted for 719 days. For perspective, the longest commercial flight takes 19 hours to travel from New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport to Singapore.

DC Expanding Absurd Criminal Leniency to Murderers Under 25. Republicans Still on Board for Criminal Justice ‘Reform’

/0 Comments/in , /by

What happens when Republicans stop being the party of law and order and instead help the Left promote the false narrative that America locks up too many criminals for too long? Well, there is then no check or balance on the behavior of the Left. Free from any fear that Republicans will ever run “soft on crime” ads against them, they are now pushing the most extreme pro-criminal laws throughout the country. Meanwhile, much as he does with amnesty legislation, Jared Kushner is trying to convince Republican donors that felons released from prison will actually vote Republican!

Far from pushing “reforms” for “non-violent, first-time, low-level” offenders – the typical canard used to propagate jailbreak legislation – the D.C. City Council is now considering a bill to let out even the worst murderers, rapists, and child sex offenders potentially after just 15 years in prison. Even the Washington Post sounded the alarm in a Sunday editorial, noting that given the lack of exceptions in the bill, “if the gunmen who massacred innocent people in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio, this month had instead committed their crimes in the District — and had both survived — one would be eligible for release or reduced sentence at age 36, at a judge’s discretion; the other at age 39.”

“Residents of the District of Columbia deserve protection from the most violent criminals and to be confident those offenders receive prison sentences commensurate with the gravity of their crimes,” said the notoriously leftist paper.

D.C., like several other states, has recently enacted legislation allowing those convicted of murder as juveniles to obtain early release after 15 years, even when the judge sentences them to life without parole. Now, proponents want to expand the aggressive push for leniencies for juvenile offenders to those as old as 25. I guess they feel if you are still young enough to be on your parents’ medical insurance, you must still not be fully at fault for murder. This is yet another trend in the runaway “criminal justice reform” leniency train that is expanding its reach to the most violent criminals.

Yet I can’t find a single Republican speaking out against this or similar measures throughout the country.

Republicans could single-handedly realign American politics and win back suburban voters if they were to counter the Left’s gun control agenda with a criminal control agenda. They could force Democrats to answer tough questions on their radical views against incarcerations that don’t sell outside the halls of academia. In San Francisco, after passing a slew of pro-criminal laws, they are now changing the language to sanitize criminals with their verbiage. “Convicted felon” is now a “justice-involved person.” Rather than fighting crime, they want Americans to begin acquiescing to criminals.

In North Carolina, the liberal-dominated supreme court recently let out a child porn offender on a technicality and created a new constitutional right for serial sexual offenders to avoid GPS monitoring. In fact, many child sex offenders are barely serving any time. One illegal alien child sex offender we reported on a few weeks ago was not only let out by Boulder County against an ICE detainer, he served zero prison time.

Many violent criminals and sex offenders are either being let out early or are serving probation. Then when they violate their probation, they are seldom locked up again, but often go on to commit other violent crimes. As KIRO radio host Dori Monson reported earlier this month, despite Washington state’s three strikes law, Gov. Jay Inslee, who was briefly a token presidential candidate, has been granting them clemency. Under the law, those convicted of three violent crimes are supposed to serve time for life, but Inslee gave clemency to one convict who then violated the terms of his clemency. Inslee apparently granted him another clemency, and he has now disappeared.

This entire notion of replacing incarceration with open-ended parole has become a joke and a public safety hazard. As Chicago Tribune editorial board member, John Kass, recently noted, the Chicago probation and monitoring system has been so overrun by politicians seeking to reduce prison populations at all costs that “there are only 100 deputies monitoring the system to watch over more than 2,000 alleged criminals, many of them violent.”

Kass observes that among them, “233 were charged with aggravated battery; 198 with unlawful use of a weapon by a felon; 108 with being an armed habitual criminal; 109 with sexual assault or abuse; 21 with kidnapping; and 109 with murder or attempted murder.” He wrote about one case of a gun felon caught with a 30-round capacity magazine who manipulated the GPS monitoring system designed to track him. He got let out on bail after paying just $9,000.

Remember, the very same people who want to push gun control and bans on extended magazines refuse to lock up those convicted of violent crimes who are caught illegally with those magazines! It’s the perfect rebuttal Republicans can use to demonstrate the hypocrisy of the Left, except they have bought into this agenda too.

According to Axios, Jared Kushner recently told a group of Republican donors at a Wyoming retreat that felons are registering to vote Republican. It’s hard to tell which promise is more absurd – that convicted felons will vote Republicans or that “Dreamers” will reward Republicans for joining Democrats in giving them amnesty. Why would they vote for an echo of the Soros agenda when they can vote for the real thing? And what about all those Americans who aren’t convicted felons but must suffer from Kushner’s jailbreak agenda helping fuel Soros’ life goals?

It’s time the public finally became aware of the fact that this “criminal justice reform” movement is built on a lie and has nothing to do with low-level offenders. As the Washington Post noted in the Sunday editorial, “If they want to slash sentences for violent offenders — many or most of whom are in their 20s — let them make that case clearly and honestly.” But this entire movement is built upon deceit and working in the shadows.

Report Claims Ilhan Omar Had Affair With Married Man, Funneled Him Campaign Money

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Wire. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was accused of having an affair with a married man, whom she allegedly funneled large sums of money to through her campaign, in divorce documents filed this week.

“Dr. Beth Jordan Mynett says her cheating spouse, Tim Mynett, told her in April that he was having an affair with the Somali-born US representative and that he even made a ‘shocking declaration of love’ for the Minnesota congresswoman before he ditched her, alleges the filing, submitted in DC Superior Court on Tuesday,” The New York Post reported.

Court documents reviewed by the Post said that Tim Mynett, 38, and Jordan Mynett, 55, “physically separated on or about April 7, 2019, when Defendant told Plaintiff that he was romantically involved with and in love with another woman, Ilhan Omar.”

The Post added: “The 37-year-old congresswoman and mom of three paid Tim Mynett and his E. Street Group approximately $230,000 through her campaign since 2018 for fundraising consulting, digital communications, Internet advertising and travel expenses.” . . .

Investigative reporter David Steinberg, who has extensively reported on the marriage fraud allegations against Omar, noted that Omar allegedly entering the couple’s home while the wife was away was a damning indictment on her moral judgment.

Ilhan Omar Should Be Probed Over Payments to ‘Lover’: Watchdog Group

By The New York Post. A conservative watchdog group said Tuesday that it plans to file a complaint against US Rep. Ilhan Omar with the Federal Election Commission — after The Post revealed allegations that she’s dating one of her paid consultants.

“This arrangement where Ilhan is paying her lover consulting fees could be illegal if he’s not doing the work,” said National Legal and Policy Center Chairman Peter Flaherty.

“And we’ll be asking the FEC for an investigation to determine the nature and level of his work product.”

Earlier Tuesday, The Post reported that Beth Mynett, a DC-based doctor, filed for separation from her husband, political consultant Tim Mynett, alleging he told her April 7 that he was having an affair with Omar.

Census Could Reveal Electoral Extinction of the Republicans

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The recent battle over a citizenship question on the 2020 census perked up ears and attention on both sides of the political aisle. Part of why there was the sharp division over this question comes from obvious partisan concerns. Governors of states with high numbers of illegal immigrants such as California and Texas realize that including the question would result in a loss of representation in Congress and the Electoral College, along with prospective federal funding changes. President Trump and his administration had wanted to return the historical question to the tally.

But there is also a fight over what the 2020 numbers tell us in terms of demographics and election results. The 2018 Texas Senate race and the stark transition of California into a Democratic stronghold intimates that changing immigration numbers could transform electoral politics for generations to come. Major alterations to immigration law since the 1960s have deprioritized migration from Europe and increased illegal entry at the border with Mexico. The Democrats are awaiting a majority minority nation, which could indeed become a reality over the next two decades.

Whites tend to vote Republican, while nonwhites tend to vote Democrat. This proved true in the 2016 election, when Trump carried white voters by 20 percent, while Hillary Clinton won 74 percent of nonwhite voters. With the number of Latinos living in the United States nearly doubling since 2000, it is not difficult to see why Texas could soon follow California, Colorado, and Nevada into the Democratic camp in the next 20 years.

Using the 2000 census and the 2010 census along with 2018 data, the electoral reality becomes more clear. The population of those under 18 will be majority nonwhite next year. Each of the major ethnic groups is expanding at different rates. By averaging the rate of annual population change between 2010 and 2018, we get an estimate of 2020 demographic figures. The number of Latinos will likely increase to nearly 63 million in 2020, an astounding 24 percent higher than in 2010. Latinos will comprise 19 percent of the overall population by 2020, up 50 percent from 2000. Finally, the proportion of whites as a percentage of the overall population will likely decline from 69 percent in 2000 down to 59 percent in 2020.

Should the demographic trends continue down the same path in future elections, there is a potential bloodbath for the Republican Party on the horizon. Due to the fact that the children of most recent immigrants are often under 18, modern elections actually underestimate the future voting potential of Latinos and other immigrant groups. In 2016, 29 percent of the electorate was nonwhite, but almost 40 percent of the country was nonwhite. Over the next decade, young nonwhites will reach the age of the majority of the electorate and begin their political participation.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Death Revealed ‘Inexplicable Negligence,’ Former Federal Prosecutor Says; Could French Prosecutors Be Targeting Ghislaine Maxwell and Jean Luc-Brunel With Epstein Probe?

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Yahoo News. Former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Elie Honig believes that Jeffrey Epstein’s death “does pretty clearly look like a suicide,” but the circumstances surrounding the accused sex trafficker and billionaire financier’s passing also highlight the “inexplicable negligence” of staffers at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where he was being held.

“There needs to be some serious accountability,” Honig said in an interview with the Yahoo News podcast “Skullduggery.” “How could this have happened? How could they have lost Jeffrey Epstein? How could they have lost the top-priority, highest-profile, most sensitive single inmate that they had at that time? There are a lot of questions that need to be answered.” . . .

Honig said there should have been an “extra red flag” in Epstein’s case, especially since he had tried to kill himself only three weeks earlier.

“How do they not keep an eye on that guy?” he wondered. “It’s not like this came out of nowhere.”

Hours after Epstein’s death, Attorney General William Barr announced that the Department of Justice, which oversees the Bureau of Prisons, would launch a thorough investigation. On Thursday, CNN reported that federal investigators had issued as many as 20 grand jury subpoenas to MCC corrections officers.

Could French Prosecutors Be Targeting Ghislaine Maxwell and Jean Luc-Brunel With Epstein Probe?

By Law and Crime. French prosecutors opened a preliminary investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged rape of minors at his Paris apartment.

Chief Paris prosecutor Remy Heitz said in a statement that this investigation has been opened up due to “exchanges with American authorities, competent in the so-called Epstein affair.” The investigation has reportedly been opened to investigate Epstein’s illicit activities in France and the alleged abuse he committed against French citizens.

No details have been provided as to what specifically prosecutors are investigating, but Epstein is known to have several connections in France. His friend and suspected accomplice, Jean Luc-Brunel, allegedly gifted Epstein three French 12-year-old girls for his birthday one year. Brunel, a model scout who founded MC2 Model Management, appeared in both Epstein’s flight logs and his little black book of elite contacts.

“He went on to tell me how Brunel bought them in Paris from their parents, offering them the usual sums of money, visas, and modeling career prospects,” said Virginia Giuffre in a 2015 statement. “Jeffrey Epstein has told me that he has slept with over 1,000 of Brunel’s girls, and everything that I have seen confirms this claim.” . . .

Aside from Epstein’s apartment in Paris and his relationship with Brunel, Epstein’s long-time friend and alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, has long-standing ties in the South of France, where she was born. Several members of Maxwell’s family also have homes there, including her older sister, Christine Malina-Maxwell, who is married to the son of rocket scientist Frank Malina, one of the U.S.’s top scientists at the Jet Propulsion Lab. When asked if he knew anyone with the last name of Malina or Ghislaine Maxwell, one of Malina-Maxwell’s neighbors laughed and told a reporter: “Maybe they’re all there.” (Read more from “Could French Prosecutors Be Targeting Ghislaine Maxwell and Jean Luc-Brunel With Epstein Probe?” HERE)

Federal Prosecutors Reportedly Considering Charges Against Newest CNN Hire, Andrew McCabe

/0 Comments/in , /by

Federal prosecutors are considering filing charges against newly hired CNN contributor and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, according to a Monday report in the New York Times.

McCabe, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, was fired by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions on March 16, 2018, the day before he would have retired. This move delayed his retirement benefits for seven years. . .

McCabe is also currently suing the Department of Justice, claiming that he was unfairly targeted by President Donald Trump and that his firing was politically motivated. McCabe wants the department to reinstate him so that he can collect his benefits, which included a pension and health care coverage. . .

According to the report from the Times, which was based on “interviews with people familiar with recent developments in the investigation,” McCabe is in danger of being charged with “lying to federal agents.”

McCabe’s lawyers reportedly met twice last week with Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen. The Times suggested that this could be an indication that McCabe’s lawyers were trying to convince the Department of Justice not to go through with the prosecution.

Biased Media Upset That Trump Allies Are Pushing Back Against the Lies

/0 Comments/in , /by

In case you missed it, CNN’s media roundtable show “Reliable Sources” pulled off something previously thought impossible: it found yet another media bias shark to jump. This time, it was through the bias of omission:

While the horrible liberal bias of the mainstream media has long been known to conservative political and social media junkies, it hasn’t been clear if it is becoming known to more casual observers. It appears as if it is:

Sunday’s New York Times has an article about Trump supporters who are archiving examples of the bias and — SURPRISE! — they’re not at all happy about it:

A loose network of conservative operatives allied with the White House is pursuing what they say will be an aggressive operation to discredit news organizations deemed hostile to President Trump by publicizing damaging information about journalists.

It is the latest step in a long-running effort by Mr. Trump and his allies to undercut the influence of legitimate news reporting. Four people familiar with the operation described how it works, asserting that it has compiled dossiers of potentially embarrassing social media posts and other public statements by hundreds of people who work at some of the country’s most prominent news organizations.

Joe Biden Falls: National Poll Has Bad News for the Democrat

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Monmouth University Poll released Monday revealed a massive shift in the Democrat primary race, showing Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and former Vice President Joe Biden (D) in a statistical three-way tie.

The poll, taken August 16–20 among 800 U.S. adults, shows both Warren and Sanders tying with 20 percent support, followed by Biden – the longheld frontrunner – who dropped to third place with 19 percent support. With a +/- 5.7 percent margin of error, the three are statistically tied. This spells trouble for the Biden campaign and signals, as Monmouth suggests, that the “2020 presidential nomination process may be entering a volatile stage”:

The poll finds a virtual three-way tie among Sanders (20%), Warren (20%), and Biden (19%) in the presidential nomination preferences of registered Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters across the country. Compared to Monmouth’s June poll, these results represent an increase in support for both Sanders (up from 14%) and Warren (up from 15%), and a significant drop for Biden (down from 32%).

The poll did not show any major shakeups among the remaining candidates. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) maintained her fourth place position with eight percent support, followed by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D), and Andrew Yang, (D) with four percent, four percent, and three percent, respectively. Julián Castro (D), Beto O’Rourke (D), and Marianne Williamson (D) all garnered two percent. The remaining candidates saw once percent support or less.

The biggest takeaway from Monmouth’s poll, of course, is Biden’s fall. According to the survey, the former vice president is losing ground among key demographics, including black voters, white voters, and women. Much of his lost support is evenly distributed between Warren and Sanders. (Read more from “Joe Biden Falls: National Poll Has Bad News for the Democrat” HERE)
