Ilhan Omar Has Freak out on House Floor (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar was reportedly caught on audio yelling “Stop it!” multiple times during Wednesday night’s impeachment proceedings as House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy brought up a fellow “Squad” member’s prior comments about impeachment.

“Democrats have wanted to impeach President Trump since the day he was elected, and nothing was going to get in the way, certainly not the truth,” McCarthy said. “Madam speaker, Chairman Schiff said he had evidence, more than circumstantial, of collusion. That was false. In January, where we all stood in this body, we stood up, we raised our hands, we swore that we’d uphold the Constitution.”

After a round of applause presumably from fellow House Republicans, McCarthy brought up Tlaib’s comments to supporters, spoken shortly after being elected, about helping fellow Democrats “impeach the mother f**ker.” . . .

At which point someone, later reportedly identified by PBS Newshour senior reporter Daniel Bush and others as Rep. Omar, could be heard yelling “Stop it!” at least three times.

WATCH: Lisa Page Explains What Her Texts Messages With Peter Strzok REALLY Meant

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page explained to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow what the text messages between her and former FBI agent Peter Strzok actually meant during her first televised interview on Tuesday.

Maddow asked Page what Strzok, who she was having an affair with, meant by having an “insurance policy” in case then-candidate Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election.

“First of all it’s not my text so I’m sort of interpreting what I believed he meant back three years ago, but we’re using an analogy,” Page explained. “We’re talking about whether or not we should take certain investigative steps or not based on the likelihood that he’s going to be president or not. You have to keep in mind if President Trump doesn’t become president, the national security risks, if there is somebody in his campaign associated with Russia, plummets.”

SEE IT: Climate Activists Try to Stop Freight Train Hauling Coal

/0 Comments/in , /by

An environmental reporter in Massachusetts posted a video on Twitter late Monday that she said showed a freight train hauling coal being met with a group of climate change activists on a dark track.

The train was seen moving slowly through Worchester, Mass., and about a dozen activists with small lights could be seen surrounding the tracks. The train’s horn was blaring, but the activists appeared to continue to give it chase. The train was headed to New Hampshire, the reporter wrote.

Miriam Wasser, a reporter for WBUR, Boston’s NPR station, posted the clip and wrote that the train was alerted about people on the track after a call to the emergency hotline. It was unclear if the activists were part of a organized group. (Read more from “SEE IT: Climate Activists Try to Stop Freight Train Hauling Coal” HERE)

Heckling, Scuffles Break out at Schiff Appearance in Home District; He Still Refuses to Say He Was Wrong About FBI’s Surveillance of Trump Aide

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Hill. Scuffles spurred by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff’s (D-Calif.) appearance broke out at a town hall in California to commemorate recognizing the Armenian genocide.

The event in Glendale, Calif., organized by the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) was designed to praise lawmakers who voted to recognize the Armenian genocide in recent House and Senate resolutions, ANCA Western Region Chairwoman Nora Hovsepian told The Hill.

But when Schiff started to speak at the event, a man and a woman held up signs that said, “Don’t Impeach.” The two were asked to take down the signs, but they declined. About a dozen people then crowded the town hall, yelling, “Liar!” and taking off their jackets to display pro-Trump merchandise, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Some commotion broke out in the crowds for about 15 minutes as those attending the town hall asked for the yelling to stop.

Three Glendale police officers at the event helped regulate the episode, and no injuries were reported, police told the Times.

Schiff Refuses to Say He Was Wrong About FBI’s Surveillance of Trump Aide

By Daily Caller. Rep. Adam Schiff admitted Sunday that the FBI committed “serious abuses” of the foreign surveillance court process in order to spy on Carter Page, though the California Democrat stopped short of acknowledging he was wrong to defend the bureau and in his promotion of the infamous Steele dossier.

“Given what you know now … are you willing to admit that you were wrong in your defense of the FBI’s FISA process?” “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace asked Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

“I’m certainly willing to admit that the inspector general found serious abuses of FISA that I was unaware of,” said Schiff, referring to a Justice Department inspector general’s report that found the FBI made “significant” errors and omissions in applications for FISA warrants on Page.

WATCH: James Comey Admits He Was Wrong About FBI’s Surveillance Abuse

/0 Comments/in , /by

James Comey said Sunday that he was “wrong” about the FBI’s handling of surveillance warrants against Carter Page, who the former FBI director acknowledged was “treated unfairly” by having his name leaked to the press as a suspected Russian agent.

“He is right. I was wrong,” Comey said in an interview on “Fox News Sunday” in reference to the findings of Michael Horowitz, the Justice Department’s inspector general.

“Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace pressed Comey about Horowitz’s report, which found “significant inaccuracies” in the FBI’s applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against Page. Horowitz found that FBI agents and officials made 17 major errors or omissions in the FISA applications.

The report stated FBI agents withheld information in the applications that undercut the theory that Page was working for Russia. They also withheld information that undermined the credibility of Christopher Steele and his dossier, which Horowitz said was a “central and essential” component of the FISA application. FBI agents failed to reveal in their FISA applications that Steele told agents that one of his sources for the dossier was a “boaster” and “embellisher.” Investigators also failed to disclose that one of Steele’s primary sources disavowed significant parts of the dossier during interviews in January 2017.

The report undercut Comey and other former FBI leaders’ defense of the FBI’s surveillance of Page, a former Naval officer.

A conference on solving homelessness in Seattle featured a transgender stripper.

Video from the Dec. 9 event surfaced Saturday on Twitter, showing the stripper, who goes by the name Beyoncé Black St. James, twerking on and kissing attendees.

“Last week, Seattle and King County leaders hired transgender stripper Beyoncé Black St. James to perform at their annual conference on solving homelessness,” City Journal editor Christopher Rufo, a former Seattle City Council candidate, wrote in a tweet Saturday. “Here’s how they’re using taxpayer money,” he added, alongside video from the performance. . .

[Warning: video contains explicit content.]

The annual event was organized by All Home, the coordinating agency for homelessness in King County, which includes the city of Seattle, where the event took place, The Seattle Times reported. The agency’s director, Kira Zylstra, has been put on paid leave pending an investigation, according to the paper, which noted Zylstra earns roughly $123,000 a year.

WATCH: Jill Biden Attempts to Explain How Hunter’s Wrongdoing Is Trump’s Fault

/0 Comments/in , /by

We know that former Vice President Joe Biden was handling international relations on behalf of the Obama administration in Ukraine. At the same time, his son, Hunter, was being paid more than $50,000 a month by Burisma Holdings, a corrupt Ukrainian gas company. And the kicker is he had no natural energy experience. But he did have access to the veep.

Despite all that we know, former Second Lady Dr. Jill Biden is still arguing that Hunter did nothing wrong. In fact, she blames President Donald Trump for wanting to get to the bottom of the Bidens’ corruption. . .

“You must have watched as your husband interacted with that voter in Iowa, very forcefully. There was a question about this. I imagine you and he [Joe] face questions about this from time to time on the campaign trail. What did you make of that response and how do you and he respond to the fact that this question keeps coming up?” the host asked.

Jill instantly turned the question into two parents defending their son against warrantless attacks.

“Well, I think that any parent who is watching this show knows that if anyone attacked their son or daughter, I mean, you don’t just sit down and take it,” she said with a half-hearted laugh. “I mean, you fight for your kid, and I think that shows that, you know, Joe’s going to stand up to bullies and bullies like Donald Trump. And it shows his strength and his tenacity and his resilience.”

Intelligent Design: Each Planet Has Been Placed Precisely in the Solar System

/0 Comments/in , /by

A video explained that would happen to Earth and its inhabitants if all the planets in the Solar System suddenly disappeared. If this happened, all life on Earth would cease to exist.

The grim topic was covered in a video released by the YouTube channel What if. It illustrated how Earth will be drastically affected if a couple or all of the planets suddenly disappeared from the Solar System.

As explained in the video, the positioning of each planet in the systems has a special purpose. Through the gravitational forces of the different planets, they have been arranged in a way that they can orbit the Sun without hitting one another.

“Take the placement of every single planet,” the narrator of the video explained. “They all have their own little space in the galaxy and that’s not by accident. Our planets work together to keep each other in place.”

However, if all of the planets or even just a few of them suddenly disappeared, the arrangement or positioning of the planets in relation to the Sun would change dramatically. Depending on which planet disappears, Earth could either move away from or closer to the Sun. (Read more from “Intelligent Design: Each Planet Has Been Placed Precisely in the Solar System” HERE)

WATCH: 14-Year-Old Boy Brutally Beaten on School Bus Over His Support for President Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A 14-year-old boy was hospitalized last month after being beaten by multiple suspects on his ride home from school. According to a parent of the unnamed victim, he was attacked for voicing his support for President Donald Trump and for wearing a “Make American Great Again” hat. . .

In a Twitter post from Nov 21, an individual purporting to be the boy’s parent wrote, “I am sitting in the hospital with my 14 year old kid because he was just jumped by 8 black kids on the school bus, I guess that’s what happens when a kid wears a #Trump hat to school.” The parent added, “earlier in the day they poured milk all over his head.”

In a follow-up tweet on Thursday, the parent posted video footage of the beating, saying, “My attorney @FoyeWalkerPA said it’s okay to release the video,” and warned that it is graphic.

Senator Mocks Trump-Russia Investigation: ‘This Wasn’t Jason Bourne. This Was Beavis and Butthead’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Ted Cruz mocked the Justice Department’s and FBI’s conduct during the Trump-Russia investigation, describing it as being more of an animated sitcom about incompetent teenagers than a spy thriller.

The Texas Republican, who has a penchant for making popular culture references, harped on responsible leadership during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with the Justice Department watchdog, who released a report this week on the FBI’s effort to monitor members of President Trump’s 2016 campaign.

“I can tell you from my time at the Department of Justice and from my time in law enforcement, any responsible leader when hearing that you’re talking about sending in spies and sending in a wiretap on any presidential nominee should say, ‘What in the hell are we doing?’” Cruz said. “And by the way, the people up the chain who are saying ‘We didn’t know,’ if you had responsible leadership, there’s no more important decision than you make.”

“I can tell you, when I was at DOJ, if someone said let’s tap Hillary Clinton or let’s tap Bill Clinton or John Kerry, the people there would have said, ‘What in the hell are you talking about?’ What was going on here — this wasn’t Jason Bourne. This was Beavis and Butthead,” Cruz continued. (Read more from “Senator Mocks Trump-Russia Investigation: ‘This Wasn’t Jason Bourne. This Was Beavis and Butthead'” HERE)
