Mueller Does Not Consider Trump a Criminal Target

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. On Tuesday, a newly-released report from The Washington Post revealed that while special counsel Robert Mueller continues to investigate President Donald Trump, he does not consider him a criminal target . . .

The only member of Trump’s staff that would speak about The Post’s report was White House attorney Ty Cobb, who said, “Thank you, but I don’t discuss communications with the president or with the Office of Special Counsel.”

A report from Axios last month suggested that Mueller was no longer investigating alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials, but that the investigation was primarily focused on events that happened after the election. The report said that Mueller’s interest in post-election events indicated that he is focused on “obstruction of justice while in office, rather than collusion with Russia during the campaign.” (Read more from “Mueller Does Not Consider Trump a Criminal Target” HERE)

Mueller Told Trump’s Attorneys the President Remains Under Investigation but Is Not Currently a Criminal Target

By The Washington Post. Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III informed President Trump’s attorneys last month that he is continuing to investigate the president but does not consider him a criminal target at this point, according to three people familiar with the discussions.

In private negotiations in early March about a possible presidential interview, Mueller described Trump as a subject of his investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. Prosecutors view someone as a subject when that person has engaged in conduct that is under investigation but there is not sufficient evidence to bring charges.

The special counsel also told Trump’s lawyers that he is preparing a report about the president’s actions while in office and potential obstruction of justice, according to two people with knowledge of the conversations.

Mueller reiterated the need to interview Trump — both to understand whether he had any corrupt intent to thwart the Russia investigation and to complete this portion of his probe, the people said.

Kyle Kashuv Calls out David Hogg by Revealing How He Spent Spring Break

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In the aftermath of the Parkland school shooting, numerous students from the school have become public advocates for stricter gun laws in the U.S.

One of the most notable advocates to come from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School is David Hogg, who hid with several other students as suspected gunman Nikolas Cruz roamed the high school and fatally shot 17 people.

Ever since Hogg became an outspoken advocate for gun control, he has been the subject of criticism by many of those who support the Second Amendment and gun rights, including Fox News host Laura Ingraham.

On Wednesday, Ingraham claimed in a tweet that Hogg, who is currently applying to colleges, was “whining” about several rejections letters he has received.

That comment sparked controversy, and eventually led into a back-and-forth between the Fox News host and Hogg, who called for sponsors of Ingraham’s show to boycott it altogether.

Ingraham eventually apologized, saying that it wasn’t her intention to “hurt” the “brave victims of Parkland,” including Hogg.

Despite the apology, multiple sponsors did end up dropping Ingraham’s show. Then, on Friday, Ingraham announced she would be taking the next week off.

That prompted a snide comment from Hogg, who tweeted, “Have some healthy reflections this Holy Week.”

But fellow Parkland survivor Kyle Kashuv wasn’t having any of it. In a tweet of his own, he indicated that Hogg was “spending your entire spring break trying to ruin a cancer survivor’s career who is a single mother of 3 adopted children from foreign countries.”

“Dude, this is just sad,” he concluded.

Ingraham was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, and since recovering, has always been adamant about being called a “thriver” rather than cancer “survivor.”

The Fox News host also adopted her daughter Maria from Guatemala, and has two sons from Russia — Dmitri and Nikolai. Ingraham is an avid supporter of both international and domestic adoption.

However, despite Ingraham’s apology and the road that has led her to become one of the most-listened-to women in political talk radio, Hogg argued that things in America are changing and the younger generation is a big part of this change — no matter who they’re up against.

“I think it’s great that corporate America is standing with me and the rest of my friends,” Hogg told CNN regarding the advertiser boycott of Ingraham’s show. “When you come against any one of us — whether it be me or anybody else — you’re coming against all of us.” (For more from the author of “Kyle Kashuv Calls out David Hogg by Revealing How He Spent Spring Break” please click HERE)

Allen West Just Reminded the World What the NRA Did With a Black Man in Chicago

/0 Comments/in , /by

During the latest push by the left to impose strict gun control laws, the National Rifle Association has been unjustly maligned as being an evil “terrorist organization” that has blood on its hands and doesn’t mind seeing innocent people gunned down or children massacred in school shootings.

In previous rhetorical assaults on the NRA, the organization has also been ruthlessly smeared as being racist toward minorities, despite the group’s history as being one of the oldest civil rights organizations that came about, in part, to help protect the Second Amendment-guaranteed rights of free black citizens in the post-slavery Reconstruction era.

Former Florida congressman and retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Allen West likely had that and a much more recent historical example on his mind when he took to Twitter last week to defend the reputation of the NRA from unjust smears . . .

West had referenced the 2010 Supreme Court ruling in the case of McDonald v. City of Chicago, in which the majority of the court held that the Second Amendment of the Constitution applied on a state and local level as well as federal, by virtue of the “due process clause” of the 14th Amendment, which had been added to the Constitution during the Reconstruction era to guard against states that were not respecting the fundamental civil rights of newly free black citizens.

A SCOTUSblog entry from 2009 while the case had yet to be heard noted the NRA had filed a lawsuit in support of a separate lawsuit by four Chicago residents who were challenging a draconian gun control law which effectively banned all handguns in the city.

Trump Administration Sues California Over Federal Land Sales

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Washington Times. The Trump administration has escalated its legal battle with California announcing Monday that the Department of Justice has sued California over a state law that gives California the power to block the sale of federal land to private parties.

Passed in October, Senate Bill 50 went into effect Jan. 1. It gave state officials the right to purchase any federal land in California before the U.S. government sells it. At the time, California officials said the bill was necessary because of fears President Trump would permit drilling or development on the roughly 46 million acres of land in California owned by the federal government.

Justice Department officials say the law violates the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy and Property clauses. The Supreme Clause puts federal law ahead of state law when there is a conflict and the Property Clause gives Congress the power to sell or transfer federal land.

No other state has a similar statute, Justice Department officials said Monday.

“Once again, the California legislature has enacted an extreme state law attempting to frustrate federal policy,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. (Read more from “Trump Administration Sues California Over Federal Land Sales” HERE)

Trump: DOJ Response to Document Requests ‘an Embarrassment to Our Country!’

By Politico. President Donald Trump derided the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation on Monday for “slow walking” requests for documents by congressional Republicans, calling it “an embarrassment to our country!”

“So sad that the Department of ‘Justice’ and the FBI are slow walking, or even not giving, the unredacted documents requested by Congress,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “An embarrassment to our country!”

House Republicans recently subpoenaed the Justice Department for its records relating to the probe of Hillary Clinton’s private email server, with Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) citing “ongoing delays” in the process as an impetus behind the action. The move comes amid intensifying criticisms among Republican leaders of the Justice Department and FBI’s handling of the Clinton investigation.

Democrats have pushed back against the charges, framing them as politically motivated and unsubstantiated. (Read more from “Trump: DOJ Response to Document Requests ‘an Embarrassment to Our Country!'” HERE)

James Woods Spots Epic Traffic Sign About Illegals, Instantly Goes Viral

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hollywood icon and Twitter conservative par excellence James Woods is one of the few very openly conservative celebrities in La La Land. He’s not the only one saying some wonderfully politically incorrect stuff out there, mind you — but he’s probably the only one famous for reasons aside from punditry.

However, when he finds someone else saying something else brilliant about the mess that California is in thanks to liberalism, he’s more than happy to share it, especially in 280 characters or less. . .

This isn’t just because one of the most ostensibly eco-conscious cities in the world is also filled with tons and tons of cars. It’s also because the penurious state doesn’t exactly have the money to fix them.

However, as one group of street artists noted in this recent work, the state has plenty of money for other priorities — and Woods decided to tweet it out for the world to see . . .

Los Angeles currently has the second-largest population of illegal aliens in the country, with an estimated 1 million, right behind New York City with 1.2 million. So, why would any city or state want illegal immigrants? Well, just ask James W. Lucas, who’s studied the issue.

More Than a Dozen Companies Boycott Laura Ingraham — but It’s Already Backfiring Big Time

/0 Comments/in , , /by

More than a dozen companies that sponsored Fox News host Laura Ingraham have bailed on her in a boycott initiated by high school student David Hogg and orchestrated by the far-left. . .

The companies boycotting Ingraham are mostly major household names, including Office Depot, Gerber, Hulu, Honda, Johnson and Johnson, among others. As of Sunday afternoon, the list has swelled to 17 companies.

It’s not clear exactly why the companies chose to remove their advertising from Ingraham’s show other than the fact that far-left groups were applying pressure, but it may not end well for those that caved.

That’s because conservatives and loyal Fox News viewers are using the power of the dollar to fight back. In response to the boycott, hundreds, possibly thousands, of people have vowed to disassociate themselves and their hard earned money from companies that have caved to the liberal mob.

People, using the hashtag “#IStandWithLaura,” posted their commitments to social media while others encouraged the counter-boycott.

Scientists Say New Mind-Reading Machine Can Translate Thoughts Into Text

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. Scientists have developed a new mind-reading machine that translates what you are thinking and instantly displays your thoughts as text, the Daily Mail reported . . .

Here’s how it works: Electrodes are implanted in the brain and linked to a computer that translates electrical signals transmitted by the brain.

Scientists claim the machine can interpret the consonants and vowels we use to form thoughts. The Daily Mail explains:

The machine registers and analyses the combination of vowels and consonants that we use when constructing a sentence in our brains. It interprets these sentences based on neural signals and can translate them into text in real time.

Finally, these “thoughts” are translated into words, which appear on a monitor screen. (Read more from “Scientists Say New Mind-Reading Machine Can Translate Thoughts Into Text” HERE)

CNN Claims the Easter Story, About Jesus’ Death and Resurrection, Is a ‘#MeToo Moment’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. Is the Easter story also a “#MeToo” story? According to a CNN article published on Friday, the two stories are one in the same . . .

The article, which wasn’t placed in CNN’s opinion section, analyzes how “some pastors and biblical scholars say” the Easter story is also a #MeToo story.

“The men refused to listen to her story. She was publicly smeared as a whore. And when she emerged as a celebrated advocate, powerful men tried to silence her because she threatened their status,” the article says. “Nevertheless she persisted.”

“The woman we’re talking about, though, is not a leader in the #MeToo movement — the viral campaign raising awareness about sexual assault and harassment against women. She is Mary Magdalene, the first person Jesus appeared to after his resurrection, according to the New Testament, and the first person to preach the good news that he had been raised from the dead,” it adds.

The article goes on to claim the Easter story highlights many of the “same behaviors” that sparked the #MeToo movement, such as “the sexually predatory behavior of men, the intimidation of women and an orchestrated attempt to silence women who drew too much attention when they spoke up.” (Read more from “CNN Claims the Easter Story, About Jesus’ Death and Resurrection, Is a ‘#MeToo Moment'” HERE)

How Easter Became a #MeToo Moment

By CNN.

“But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense.” — Luke 24:11

The men refused to listen to her story. She was publicly smeared as a whore. And when she emerged as a celebrated advocate, powerful men tried to silence her because she threatened their status. . .

She has been falsely portrayed in books and films as a penitent prostitute rather than what she really was, says Claire L. Sahlin: “The foremost witness of the resurrection and a visionary leader of the early Christian movement.”

“The #MeToo movement recognizes that men in authority used their power to sexually abuse women and silence their voices,” says Sahlin, an associate dean and professor of multicultural women’s and gender studies at Texas Woman’s University. (Read more from “How Easter Became a #MeToo Moment” HERE)

#BoycottNetflix Trending Over Appointment of Controversial Former Obama Official

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. Earlier this week, Netflix announced that former Obama ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, will be joining their board of directors. The move has prompted a strong backlash on social media; #BoycottNetflix is now trending as a result.

Appointed in 2009, Rice became a household political name following an attack on the American embassy in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. Immediately after the attack on September 11, 2012, Rice went on several Sunday talk shows to push the Obama administration’s false talking point that a YouTube video mocking Muhammad was responsible for the attack, not Al-Qaeda militants . . .

Despite all that swirling controversy, Netflix decided to name Susan Rice to their board of directors . . .

Twitter users have responded to the news with force, referring to Susan Rice as a “criminal” and suggesting that Netflix should care about her conduct while working under Obama.

“Netflix Hires Susan Rice on board of directors while Barack Obama is still in negotiating to produce the content for @netflix,” wrote one user. “Netflix obviously doesn’t care about the fact that Susan Rice repeatedly lied about Benghazi and the unmasking of American citizens.” (Read more from “#BoycottNetflix Trending Over Appointment of Controversial Former Obama Official” HERE)

#BoycottNetflix: Susan Rice Board Appointment Sparks Backlash

By Breitbart. Some Netflix users have pledged to boycott the popular streaming service after they announced the appointment of former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice to the company’s board of directors.

“We are delighted to welcome Ambassador Rice to the Netflix board,” Netflix CEO Reed Hastings announced on Wednesday. “For decades, she has tackled difficult, complex global issues with intelligence, integrity, and insight and we look forward to benefiting from her experience and wisdom.”

The news was met with a backlash from some Netflix subscribers, who accused Rice of being a liar who failed to protect Americans during the Libya crisis.

“Susan Rice is a criminal who persecuted and spied on innocent Americans,” Wrote one user. “I’ll be deleting my account and encouraging everyone I know to do the same. I’ve been a customer since 2006. #BoycottNetflix”

Graham Claims This Is the ‘Single Worst’ Decision Trump Could Make

/0 Comments/in , /by

Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was asked by host Chris Wallace about President Trump’s recent remarks about pulling U.S. troops out of Syria.

WALLACE: Meanwhile, President Trump started talking this week about pulling all of our 2,000 troops out of Syria, who are there supporting the effort against ISIS. And we learned yesterday that he has frozen $200 million in funds for recovery efforts there.

Wallace then played a clip from a speech on Wednesday in which the president claimed that the United States would be pulling out of Syria “very soon.” He added: “Let the other people take care of it now.” . .

GRAHAM: Well, Mr. President, when it comes to Russia, read the Ronald Reagan playbook; when it comes to Syria, do not read the Obama playbook. This is the Obama playbook – one foot in, one foot out. This is a disaster in the making . . .

There are over 3,000 ISIS fighters still roaming around Syria. We’ve got troops there to protect us, and to protect the region. If we withdrew our troops anytime soon, ISIS would come back, the war between Turkey and the Kurds would get out of hand, and you’d be giving Damascus to the Iranians without an American presence – and Russia and Iran would dominate Syria. It [would] be the single worst decision the president could make.
