Elizabeth Warren’s Stunt Was so Terrible That She Might…Apologize for It?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Just two weeks before the 2018 midterm elections, 2020 presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren released the results of a DNA test in order to “prove” she’s Native American. After all, she used the title to get ahead in her academic and political careers.

Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday sought to explain her controversial decision to list herself as a Native American in a directory of law professors for nearly a decade before getting a job at Harvard Law School and said she is absolutely qualified for her job.

But as decision time for 2020 inches closer, the failed stunt has turned into an even bigger albatross for the Massachusetts Senator. According to the New York Times, Democrat advisors believe Warren may have blown her 2020 chances and that the damage of her cultural appropriation may be beyond repair. In fact, some believe her only way to survival is through an apology.

Advisers close to Ms. Warren say she has privately expressed concern that she may have damaged her relationships to Native American groups and her own standing with progressive activists, particularly those who are racial minorities. Several outside advisers are even more worried: They say they believe a plan should be made to repair that damage, possibly including a strong statement of apology.

The advisers say Ms. Warren will have to confront the issue again if she announces a presidential campaign, which is expected in the coming weeks, and several would like her to act soon.

Democrat Accused of Repeated Use of Women’s Restroom Will Resign

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Colorado Democrat whom female colleagues had accused earlier this year of frequenting a women’s restroom inside the Statehouse is resigning, a spokesman said Wednesday. . .

“It’s been a great honor to serve the people of Colorado for just short of a decade,” Kagan said in a statement. “An important obligation of leaders, I believe, is to be open to acknowledging that it’s time to pass the torch to new leadership and, for me, that time is now.”

Kagan was instrumental in repealing a 19th-century law that criminalized adultery, a law he regarded as giving authorities the power to question people about their personal lives, “which is a gross invasion of privacy that’s fully within the rights of the police right now.”

But Republican state Sen. Beth Martinez Humenik said several women claimed to have seen Kagan using a women’s restroom multiple times since January 2017. She filed a workplace sexual harassment complaint against Kagan in March.

Kagan said he’d entered the women’s restroom just once by mistake because it was unlabeled. The debacle prompted the state Senate to post signs outside its restroom designating “men” and “women,” Denver’s KUSA-TV reported.

Whistleblower Advocates, Attorneys Condemn FBI Raid on Clinton Foundation Whistleblower

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Caller. Whistleblower advocates across the political spectrum condemned an FBI raid on the home of a recognized whistleblower who reported potential wrongdoing surrounding about the Clinton Foundation, the Uranium One deal and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The Daily Caller News Foundation, in a bombshell report, detailed how 16 FBI agents raided the home of Dennis Cain, a former employee of an FBI contractor, on Nov. 19. They rummaged through his home for six hours even though he told them that Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz awarded him whistleblower status, according to Cain’s lawyer, Michael Socarras.

Horowitz instructed a top aide to personally hand-carry the documents to the House and Senate intelligence committees over the summer after he received them from Cain, Socarras said. . .

“I really do question the need for this raid at all,” said Nick Schwellenbach, the investigations director for the Project on Government Oversight, a nonpartisan watchdog group that frequently works with whistleblowers. “On its face it doesn’t seem like it was necessary.”

“This isn’t how we should be treating whistleblowers who are coming forward with information about high level wrongdoing,” he told TheDCNF. “It sends a very strong message that you will be treated as a criminal even though what you’re trying to do is expose crime or a potential crime.” (Read more from “Whistleblower Advocates, Attorneys Condemn FBI Raid on Clinton Foundation Whistleblower” HERE)

FBI Raids Home of Whistleblower on Clinton Foundation, Lawyer Says

By The Daily Caller. FBI agents raided the home of a recognized Department of Justice whistleblower who privately delivered documents pertaining to the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One to a government watchdog, according to the whistleblower’s attorney.

The Justice Department’s inspector general was informed that the documents show that federal officials failed to investigate potential criminal activity regarding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation and Rosatom, the Russian company that purchased Uranium One, a document reviewed by The Daily Caller News Foundation alleges.

The delivered documents also show that then-FBI Director Robert Mueller failed to investigate allegations of criminal misconduct pertaining to Rosatom and to other Russian government entities attached to Uranium One, the document reviewed by TheDCNF alleges. Mueller is now the special counsel investigating whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 election.

“The bureau raided my client to seize what he legally gave Congress about the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One,” the whistleblower’s lawyer, Michael Socarras, told TheDCNF, noting that he considered the FBI’s raid to be an “outrageous disregard” of whistleblower protections.

Charles Blow’s Latest Column Accidentally Reinforces That Russia Collusion Is a Hoax

/0 Comments/in , /by

The New York Times published an opinion article Sunday by Charles M. Blow titled, “What Would Happen If,” which attempts to argue that the day of reckoning with accusations of Trump-Russia collusion has arrived for President Trump supporters. RealClearPolitics.com assigned it the misleading click-bait title, “It’s Becoming Clear Trump Colluded with Russia.”

I’ve been searching for a coherent and updated Russia collusion piece for some time, because it’s been so clear for so long that the Trump-Russia collusion story is a hoax. What am I missing? Maybe this New York Times article can explain to me how liberals continue to believe the story in spite of the mounting evidence to the contrary. I thirst for evidence contradicting my beliefs, because I find it so hard to believe that honest liberal journalists would knowingly continue to advance a story that appears to have been so thoroughly debunked as a hoax. So I took the bait and clicked.

Blow begins with one of those famous “We know” statements that pundits tend to use when they actually don’t know, but don’t want to argue threshold assumptions. “A crime has been committed by Russia and Trump cheered the crime and used the loot thereof to advance his candidacy,” Blow writes. “That is clear.” I looked for a hyperlink to support this bold statement, to no avail. I’m left to guess what he means. What crime? What loot? . . .

For a more detailed write-up, click here. Alternatively, the crime to which Blow so un-clearly refers might be the case against the named Russian GRU operatives, which again, are mere allegations and not proven. That case will likely never see the inside of a courtroom and probably ended with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s self-congratulatory press conference. To quote Rosenstein during the press conference: “There is no allegation in this indictment that any American citizen committed a crime. There is no allegation that the conspiracy changed the vote count or affected any election result.”

I assume “any American citizen” includes candidate Donald Trump. Indeed, the culpability for the Democratic National Committee server hack and the John Podesta email hack have not been established beyond the mere indictment. As far as the DNC server is concerned, intelligence experts have offered plausible alternate theories. Why is this still not clear two years after the hack? Because the DNC’s subcontractor Crowdstrike likely destroyed the original evidence before obtaining a third-party review of its attribution accusing the Russians.

Bill and Hillary Clinton Are About to Go Away Forever

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Wire. . .How can we be sure, you ask? Here’s how: Tickets to see them live and hear them blab about their lives are selling for the cost of a Big Mac meal at McDonald’s.

Not enough proof? Well, there’s this, too: New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd is finally sick of them.

The former first couple opened a 13-city speaking tour late last month with a premiere event in Toronto (why they think anyone in Canada wants to hear them whine about Hillary’s crushing defeat in the 2016 presidential election is anybody’s guess). They pulled just 3,000 people to an arena that seats 19,000. . .

And things kept getting worse. Ticket prices for their event in Texas plunged to just $6. Seems no one is interested in hearing them tell “stories and inspiring anecdotes that shaped their historic careers in public service, while also discussing issues of the day and looking toward the future,” which a press release promised.

Why are Bill and Hillary traveling the country charging people top dollar to hear them bloviate? It’s not the money: The couple made $250 million in the 15 years after Bubba left office (and Hillary made bank selling access — and favors — while she was secretary of state).

Bill and Hillary Clinton’s Sugar Land Tour Stop Rescheduled

By Houston Chronicle. Bill and Hillary Clinton’s speaking event in Sugar Land has been rescheduled for a later date due to former president George H. W. Bush’s death, the event organizer announced Monday.

The Clintons, initially scheduled to speak at the Smart Financial Centre Tuesday evening, instead will fly to Washington, D.C., to “pay their respects to President Bush and his family,” Live Nation Marketing Director Brian Birr said in an email.

Bush, who Bill Clinton defeated in the 1992 presidential election, died Friday at age 94. His remains are being transported Monday to the U.S. Capitol, ahead of a memorial service Wednesday morning at the National Cathedral.

Live Nation and the Clintons have yet to announce a new date for the Sugar Land event, which was scheduled to be the third stop in a 13-city tour. It kicked off in Toronto, where the duo did not sell out the nearly 20,000-seat Scotiabank Arena. (Read more from “Bill and Hillary Clinton’s Sugar Land Tour Stop Rescheduled” HERE)

Democrats Are Pushing Another Bogus Lawsuit Against Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Wednesday evening on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin discussed one of the Left’s latest erroneous pseudo-constitutional plans of attack against President Trump. The attack comes from the activist attorneys general of Maryland and the District of Columbia.

Trump’s business dealings are the subject of a new lawsuit that has to do with the Constitution’s emolument’s clause. When foreign officials stay at the hotel, the argument of the attorneys general goes, Trump receives unconstitutional payments from foreign governments.

The emoluments clause, Levin explained, was originally included in the Constitution to keep people from seeking office as a stepping stone to more lucrative ventures. Levin argued that since Trump owned the hotel before taking office, the clause does not apply to him.

“So now we have another tool that will apparently be used by the Left – and if they can find these Clinton and Obama judges – to try and destroy the Trump presidency,” the host concluded.

2020: Another Democrat Decides Not to Run Against Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. Let’s not kid ourselves, folks. The 2020 Democratic field is going to be big, but there are two people that are no longer running. Anti-Trump lawyer Michael Avenatti, who continues to be the Left’s professional clown, opted not to run in an announcement released yesterday, despite pounding his chest about how he would win if he ran in 2020. So, we’ll chalk that as a win for Trump. Truth be told, Avenatti would have been thrashed, he had no national constituency, and would have embarrassed the Democratic Party immensely. It’s also partially why I wanted him to run. It would have been amazing watching Avenatti pick fights with the rest of the 2020 field. Well, that field is also less one Democrat: former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick. He’s out too. (Read more from “2020: Another Democrat Decides Not to Run Against Trump” HERE)

Deval Patrick to Announce He Will Not Run for President in 2020

By The New York Times. Deval Patrick, the former two-term Democratic governor of Massachusetts, plans to announce shortly that he will not run for president in 2020, according to a person close to Mr. Patrick.

Mr. Patrick had been discussing a possible run with associates and had been traveling around the country to support Democratic candidates in the midterm elections. But he had also expressed some reluctance about a possible presidential run, telling David Axelrod, a former Obama adviser, that he wasn’t sure there was a place for him.

“It’s hard to see how you even get noticed in such a big, broad field without being shrill, sensational or a celebrity — and I’m none of those things and I’m never going to be any of those things,” Mr. Patrick said in a podcast interview in September with Mr. Axelrod.

DOJ Indicted Democratic Mega Donor For Defrauding the Military to Win $8 Billion Defense Contract

/0 Comments/in , /by

Three Virginia businessmen were charged with attempting to defraud the United States Military by engaging in illegal commerce in Iran and laundering money internationally in an attempt at winning contracts in Afghanistan.

In 2012, Anham FZCO, a defense contractor based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which maintained offices in Dubai, UAE, Jordan and the United States, was awarded an $8 billion contract to provide food and supplies to U.S. troops stations in Afghanistan. During the bidding process, Anham said they would build two warehouses to provide supplies. According to the indictment, Anham executives knowingly provided false estimates of the completion dates for the warehouses and by providing the government with misleading photographs intended to convey that Anham’s progress on the warehouses was further along than it actually was. The company allegedly took construction materials and equipment to a site in February 2012 when they created the false appearance of an active construction site. Anham took photos, sent them to the Department of Defense as “in-progress,” and then deconstructed the temporary site.

According to the Department of Justice, bidders were required to certify that they abide by the Iran Sanctions Act, which prohibits U.S. citizens and companies from engaging in commercial activity in Iran. The company allegedly violated the sanctions by shipping warehouse materials to Iran and then, eventually, Afghanistan. They did this as a means of saving money.

“According to the indictment, after learning that the Wall Street Journalwas planning to run a story detailing Anham’s practice of shipping materials through Iran, Abul Huda Farouki sent an email to a senior Department of Defense official, which falsely claimed that senior management at Anham had been unaware that the transshipments through Anham had taken place,” the DOJ said in a release.

Pedophile Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein Settles Lawsuit, Publicly Apologizes; Victims Now Won’t Testify

Pedophile Billionaire Settles Case Right Before Trial

By Greg Norman. The numerous young women who say they were sexually abused by wealthy, Clinton-linked financier Jeffrey Epstein no longer appear set to testify after a last-minute settlement was reached in a closely-watched civil lawsuit against the registered sex offender.

The deal was announced Tuesday — just before jury selection was to begin — and, for now, it likely means none of the women will be able to speak in court about the alleged abuse they endured at Epstein’s hands, according to the Associated Press.

The 65-year-old Epstein, who has counted presidents and kings among his friends, allegedly operated a sex ring at his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida, a residence in New York City, and his private island estate. The latter locale contained Epstein’s 72-acre Virgin Islands home — and the strip of land was dubbed by some as “Orgy Island.”

Court documents obtained by Fox News in 2016 showed former President Bill Clinton took at least 26 trips flying aboard Epstein’s private jet — known as the “Lolita Express” — and apparently ditched his Secret Service detail on some of the excursions. Authorities who seized trash outside Epstein’s home at the time found an invoice for the purchase of the book “SlaveCraft: Roadmaps for Erotic Servitude — Principles, Skills and Tools,” as well as the instructional “Training with Miss Abernathy: A Workbook for Erotic Slaves and Their Owners.” (Read more about the pedophile billionaire HERE)

Pedophile Billionaire Settles Case, Apologizes for False Malicious Prosecution Claim

By Rosa Flores and Eliott C. McLaughlin. [The settlement] ends a malicious prosecution counterclaim filed by attorney Bradley Edwards, who represented some of Epstein’s accusers. Edwards filed the counterclaim after Epstein accused him and a now-disbarred attorney of wrongdoing in a civil lawsuit.

The settlement came as jury selection was set to begin. Expected to testify were at least seven alleged victims, law enforcement officers, former US attorneys and Epstein’s former associates, said Michael Fisten, an investigator on Edwards’ team.

The specifics of the settlement are confidential, but court records indicate Epstein issued an apology as part of the settlement. Epstein conceded in the apology that he tried to denigrate Edwards’ reputation as a trial lawyer, Edwards said in a statement.

“The truth is that his aggressive investigation and litigation style was highly effective and therefore troublesome for me. The lawsuit I filed was my unreasonable attempt to damage his business reputation and stop Mr. Edwards from pursuing cases against me. It did not work,” Epstein said in his apology, according to Edwards’ statement. (Read more about the pedophile billionaire HERE)

Victims May Possibly Have One More Shot at Testifying Against Pedophile Billionaire

By Dareh Gregorian. [The] women who say they were victimized by politically connected convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have one more chance at justice — a case that could potentially put the multi-millionaire back behind bars.

Some of Epstein’s accusers had been expected to take the witness stand in Florida this week, at a defamation trial that was brought against Epstein by Bradley Edwards, a lawyer for some of the victims. The case settled Tuesday morning with Epstein issuing an apology to Edwards and paying him an undisclosed sum of money.

But the women still have one more shot at Epstein, a wildly successful hedge fund manager who used to pal around with the likes of presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.

A pending suit by some of Epstein’s accusers in federal court in Florida is aimed at voiding a non-prosecution agreement that was signed off on by then-U.S. Attorney for Southern Florida Alexander Acosta (now President Trump’s Labor Secretary) — arguing that the deal was illegal because dozens of Epstein’s victims were never told about it.

A 2020 Democrat Has Already Been Defeated

/0 Comments/in , /by

It appears that the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries have lost their most entertaining sideshow. “Creepy porn lawyer” and anti-Trump media darling Michael Avenatti released a statement Tuesday afternoon saying that he would not seek the presidency in the upcoming election cycle.

“After consultation with my family and at their request, I have decided not to seek the Presidency of the United States in 2020,” reads the attorney’s statement. “I do not make this decision lightly – I make it out of respect for my family. But for their concerns, I would run.”

There are plenty of reasons to believe that an Avenatti candidacy would be a bad move for the Left, from his client’s dumpster fire of a lawsuit against the president to the added baggage of his recent domestic violence charge, but vague familial concerns are pretty standard reasoning for announcements like this.

The 2020 primaries just got that much less entertaining for those who were already expecting a pretty comical display to begin with. However, there’s always the possibility that Avenatti will change his mind about running between now and the 2020 Iowa caucuses.

Either way, it’s hard to believe he’ll be able to go all the way from the Iowa Caucuses to Election Day without inserting himself into the news. (For more from the author of “A 2020 Democrat Has Already Been Defeated” please click HERE)
