Guess Who Obama Hosted at the White House? Hint, He’s a Terrorist Connected to the Recent U.S. Embassy Attack

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. It turns out $400 million in cash, delivered by an unmarked plane in the middle of the night on palettes and a nuclear deal that eventually leads to a bomb, aren’t the only things President Obama gave to the murderous Iranian regime during his tenure in the White House.

Earlier this week Iranian backed militia leader Hadi Al-Amiri, who is also an Iraqi government official, participated in the attack against the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. . .

In 2011, Al-Amiri visited the White House. Not only that, he made it into the Oval Office.

Aircraft Carrying U.S. Troops Take off From East Coast Bases After Drone Strike Kills Top Iranian General

By Newsweek. United States Air Force aircraft with combat troops and special forces on board took off from bases on the East Coast Thursday night after President Donald Trump ordered a drone strike that killed a top Iranian general, military officials told Newsweek. The officials could not say where the transport aircraft were headed.

U.S. military Patriot anti-Missile batteries also were put on alert in Bahrain, headquarters of the Navy’s 5th Fleet. The Green Zone in Baghdad, where the U.S. embassy is located, is on lockdown, sources told Newsweek.

The president was briefed at Mar-a-Lago and ordered the strike from the Florida resort, sources told Newsweek.

It was unclear Thursday whether Congress was notified of the strike or the deployment. A spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declined by email to answer whether McConnell was notified.

‘What the Hell Were You Thinking?’: Trump Berated White House Staff for Not Telling Him Putin Was Trying to Call Him

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Donald Trump berated his former national security adviser Michael Flynn and other senior staff members for holding off on arranging a phone call with the Russian president soon after taking office, according to a new book on the Trump administration’s contentious relationship with the Pentagon.

In “Trump and His Generals: The Cost of Chaos,” the national security reporter Peter Bergen recounted the tenuous conversation between the US president and his staffers, one of many intimate talks whose details were sourced from dozens of interviews with current and former White House officials and military officers.

On January 27, 2017, weeks after winning the presidency, Trump had his first official visit from a foreign leader at the White House, with British Prime Minister Theresa May. During lunch, May asked Trump if he had talked to Putin, according to Bergen. . .

Flynn, a former three-star US Army general, was nearby and leaned in to tell Trump: “Sir, we’re arranging that call now. President Putin called several days ago, but we haven’t been able to get it on your calendar yet.”

“Are you kidding me? Vladimir Putin tried to call me, and you didn’t put him through? What the hell were you thinking?” Trump said. (Read more from “‘What the Hell Were You Thinking?’: Trump Berated White House Staff for Not Telling Him Putin Was Trying to Call Him” HERE)

Newly-Elected Democrats Let Their Masks Slip, Revealing the Fascists Beneath

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Since the 2018 elections, we have seen a lot of stupid people electing Democrats in state and local elections, and since the garbage Democrats have the garbage Midas touch – everything they come in contact with turns to a Scat Francisco sidewalk – these dumb voters are now suffering the consequences of their misguided trust in these aspiring authoritarians. Democrats win when rich donors pump money into races behind candidates who pretend not to be the gimps of the hard-left cabal that actually runs the party. And the radicals who got elected pretending to be not-insane are getting into office and doing all the insane stuff we warned the voters they would do.

There are no “moderate” Democrats. All Democrats are dangerous to your life, prosperity and freedom. They prefer churchgoers die rather than be able to defend themselves. They want newly-prosperous frackers to learn to code. They want you jailed for denying the climate cult or the fact that there are men and there are women and there is nothing else. . .

OK, then ask a Democrat candidate who is more important, Americans or foreigners who sneak in here. Go ahead. Once again, not a single significant Democrat will unequivocally say, “American citizens are more important than foreigners, especially criminals who break our laws to sneak in here.” Democrats (and sappy Ahoy-crew Fredocons like Jeb!, the “Act of Love” guy) support the foreigners, whose health care they want us to subsidize. . .

Let’s talk criminals. Democrats prefer them to you. Crazy? Are the Democrats always talking about how mean we are to crooks, or about the effect of crooks on your life? In California, idiot voters essentially decriminalized crime. Steal under $950 a day and you’re fine – they would even bother to file charges. Oh, and feel free to shoot up on the sidewalk and leave the needles around – remember, it’s the junkies who are the real victims. You, the normal people, have no recourse and no one has your back. You get to deal with bums, hobos and derelicts on your streets – just make sure that when you step around them you don’t topple over into a pile of human dung.

Journalist ‘Smears’ Six Texas Churchgoers Who Pulled Their Guns on White Settlement Shooter

By Pluralist.Gun rights advocates accused an Arizona journalist of “smearing” armed parishioners who drew their firearms on the perpetrator of a shooting at a Texas church over the weekend.

Elvia Diaz, a columnist for the Arizona Republic, had nothing but praise for Jack Wilson, the armed parishioner who on Sunday shot and killed a gunman at West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas.

Wilson, a firearms instructor and member of the church’s volunteer security team, “was exactly the kind of man you want around with a firearm,” Diaz wrote in an opinion piece published by USA Today on Wednesday.

However, Diaz didn’t extend such sentiments to the six other churchgoers who drew their guns on Keith Thomas Kinnunen, the man seen in livestream video footage shooting and killing two victims, before being fatally wounded by Wilson.

According to Diaz, “we know nothing about the at least six other parishioners who also appeared to draw their handguns at West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas.” (Read more from “Journalist ‘Smears’ Six Texas Churchgoers Who Pulled Their Guns on White Settlement Shooter” HERE)

By Newsweek. [Chief Justice Roberts whined about fake news, yesterday, stating] “In our age, when social media can instantly spread rumor and false information on a grand scale, the public’s need to understand our government, and the protections it provides, is ever more vital.” . . .

Ghislaine Maxwell Says She Has Dirt on the World’s Most Powerful and is ‘Relieved’ by Epstein’s Death

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Washington Examiner. British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly thinks she will be able to avoid a prison sentence in the wake of the death of her longtime associate, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“Ghislaine is so confident that she’ll be back that she’s still texting friends in different social circles while she’s in hiding. She’s doesn’t think that she did anything wrong,” Laura Goldman, a family friend of the Maxwells, told the Sun on Monday. “She obviously has some serious dirt on someone to be so sure of herself in the circumstances.”

Goldman said Maxwell was “relieved” after Epstein’s death because he would not have an opportunity to dish any dirt on her.

“She was more relieved than anything. It may have placed her more in the spotlight but at least he couldn’t turn on her,” she said. (Read more from “Ghislaine Maxwell ‘Relieved’ by Epstein’s Death” HERE)

Ghislaine Maxwell Scoffing at Law Thanks to ‘Serious Dirt’ on Powerful People, Former Friend Says

By Daily Beast. . .A family friend, Laura Goldman, told U.K. paper The Sun that Ghislaine is texting friends from her secret hideaway.

Goldman, who was friends with both Maxwell and her sister Isabel, told The Sun: “Ghislaine and her sister Isabel remain totally convinced that she’ll escape any criminal convictions and will eventually clear the family name and return to high society once the dust has settled.

“She obviously has some serious dirt on someone to be so sure of herself in the circumstances,” Goldman said. . .

Goldman, a former New York City stockbroker who used to mix in the same circles as Epstein and Maxwell, before cutting them both off after the financier’s first arrest in 2008, told The Sun: “She has wealthy connections who hide her and even pay some legal fees. She can stay out of the public eye as long as she wants.” (Read more from “Ghislaine Maxwell Scoffing at Law Thanks to ‘Serious Dirt’ on Powerful People, Former Friend Says” HERE)

Does This Hillary Email on Benghazi Suggest Her Actions Were Grounded in Executing a Clean 2016 Campaign?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Our friends at Twitchy posted about it first, but a new email has dropped concerning former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s actions after the 2012 Benghazi terror attack that led to three deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. It occurred in September of 2012, weeks away from the election. The Obama White House’s rallying cry was that al-Qaeda was on the run. They were wrong. The Obama administration said this attack was a “spontaneous” reaction to a YouTube video released months prior to the attack. It was a lie. Judicial Watch has been hell on wheels regarding their fight for disclosure about this incident and many more under the Obama administration with their FOIA requests and countless lawsuits for documents to be released. The revelation that the Obama administration scrubbed talking points only added to the intrigue that there was some sort of cover-up in the weeks leading up to a critical election for then-President Obama.

The email Judicial Watch obtained was sent by Jacob Sullivan, Clinton’s then-deputy chief of staff and senior adviser, to the former first lady’s address 18 days after the attack. Then-Chief of Staff Cheryl Mill was cc’d on the exchange. Again, I know some of you already knew what was up with the previous disclosures from this horrific attack, but more information is leeching out. . .

Twitchy captured some of the reactions, with one person saying that Clinton’s actions alluded to in the email suggest the former first lady was trying to clear a path for a clean 2016 run without Benghazi being in the mix. Not the case. We got something better: allegations that she mishandled classified information by having an unsecured and unauthorized homebrew server from which all her official business was conducted at the State Department. And she lied about State saying it was ok to have such a system. Every talking point she offered was eviscerated by the press until she stopped doing press conferences altogether. She wiped those away, like what you would do with a cloth. So, in the end, Clinton didn’t have a clean run. The irony is that Benghazi was the least of her worries during that election.

Flashback: Biden Called Texas Governor ‘Irrational’ for Allowing Guns in Places of Worship

By Townhall. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden criticized the Governor of Texas for signing a bill that allows law-abiding Texans to defend themselves with firearms in places of worship. On Sunday, an armed man stopped a gunman in Texas after the gunman opened fire during church services. . .

Joe Biden recently told reporters that it was “irrational” to allow law-abiding worshipers to defend themselves in church.

“With all due respect to the governor of Texas,” Biden began, “it is irrational what they’re doing.
