Secret Service Refusing Constitutional Duty to Investigate Counterfeit U.S. Mint Gold Coins From China

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Congressmen Alex Mooney (R-WV) and Frank Lucas (R-OK) today delivered a formal letter to the United States Mint and Secret Service, urging aggressive action on the growing problem of high-quality counterfeits of U.S. precious metals coins entering the country from China and elsewhere.

“Enclosed herewith is a 1995 1 oz. Gold American Eagle coin, carrying a face value $50 and ostensibly minted by the U.S. Mint,” Mooney and Lucas wrote. “You are free to keep it, as it’s a worthless tungsten fake.”

As members of the House Financial Services subcommittee which oversees the U.S. Mint, Congressmen Mooney and Lucas are seeking information from the government institution responsible for the production of coinage for the United States, such as “the nature and quantity of complaints – and resulting investigations – regarding counterfeit U.S. gold, silver, and platinum coins within the last two years,” and “what anti-counterfeiting programs, if any, are in place to protect the integrity of U.S. coins minted specifically of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.”

The congressmen request information as to whether, and to what extent, the U.S. Mint has taken proactive steps to protect the integrity of America’s minted coins, including reviewing and implementing the anti-counterfeiting measures already put in place certain foreign government and private mints.

And they seek clarification regarding the “expected roles of the Secret Service, U.S. Customs and Border Enforcement, and other federal law enforcement agencies in detecting and investigating counterfeits of U.S. coins minted of precious metals and the extent of their coordination with the U.S. Mint.”

The congressmen also raised concerns about a Secret Service decision not to investigate the origin of a counterfeit batch of Gold American Eagle coins when the matter was recently brought to its attention.

“We commend Representative Mooney and Representative Lucas for their actions in defending sound money and for beginning to exercise Congressional oversight duties in accordance with Article I, Section 8, Clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution,” said Stefan Gleason, director of the Sound Money Defense League.

“We look forward to a meaningful explanation from the U.S. Mint and the Secret Service for what appears to be a lackadaisical attitude toward protecting the only constitutional currency that is currently even produced by the federal government,” said Gleason.

She Suspected an Affair, Then She Found a Camera

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A daughter discovered hidden cameras in her bedroom and bathroom after finding videos of herself undressing and nude on a family computer, police said.

Matthew Bordeaux, 48, used the cameras that were concealed inside an electrical wall socket in her bedroom and an AC adapter in the bathroom they shared to take nude pictures, according to court records. The documents did not indicate the nature of their relationship but says Bordeaux, a woman and her daughter lived together for the last seven years “as a family.”

The victim, whose identity was not disclosed by Sunrise police, found the camera in her bedroom and bathroom after finding pictures of herself on a household computer that the family used, records show.

The daughter searched the computer because she thought Bordeaux was having an affair. She found the pictures inside a computer folder in his “profile” that, at the time, was not password protected. (Read more from “She Suspected an Affair, Then She Found a Camera” HERE)

Canada Euthanizes Thousands of Patients to Save Money

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Prolific Canadian documentary film maker Kevin Dunn has embarked upon his latest production FATAL FLAWS. In conjunction with the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, Mr. Dunn explores, amongst other things, the short step from physician assisted suicide to euthanasia. This is exactly what is happening in Canada in the 14 months since physician assisted suicide became legal.

More than 2,000 Canadians have died with medical assistance since 2015 (including Quebec). Cancer represented 64% of assisted deaths, followed by circulatory/respiratory and neurodegenerative diseases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS).

How did the numbers break down? (Excluding Québec, and the Territories) From June 17 – December 31, 2016, 507 people received medical assisted death, of which 503 were administered by doctors or nurse practitioners. Only 4 were self-administered suicides. From January 1st – June 30th 2017 there were 875 medically assisted deaths of which 874 were administered by a physician or nurse. One was self administered suicide. Of the 1,482 assisted death for the year, only 5 were self-administered suicides (0.0033%). In practice what Canada legalized in 2016 was not assisted suicide, it legalized euthanasia by another name. (Read more from “Canada Euthanizes Thousands of Patients to Save Money” HERE)

World-Renowned Journalist Who Exposed Clinton Foundation Dead in Car Bombing

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A world-renowned journalist who exposed corruption within the Clinton Foundation was found dead on Monday after a car bomb exploded with her inside.

Maltese Investigative journalist, Daphne Caruana Galizia, was responsible for leaking millions of documents from the Panama Papers, which exposed high-level government corruption from around the world.

Her most recent work revealed that Malta’s prime minister, Joseph Muscat, and two of his closest aides, had connections to offshore companies that linked them to the sale of Maltese passports, and showed that they had received payments from the government of Azerbaijan, according to a report from the Guardian.

During a press conference on the attack, Muscat acknowledged Galizia’s work, and said, “Everyone knows Ms. Caruana Galizia was a harsh critic of mine, both politically and personally, but nobody can justify this barbaric act in any way.” (Read more from “World-Renowned Journalist Who Exposed Clinton Foundation Dead in Car Bombing” HERE)

Lesbian Privilege: Ellen Shares Tweet Only She Can Get Away With in Wake of Weinstein Scandal

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In the wake of the monstrous Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal blowing up Hollywood, happy-go-lucky daytime host Ellen DeGeneres tweeted an image and a caption only she could get away with.

“Happy birthday, @KatyPerry,” Ellen wished to pop singer and fellow Trump-hater Katy Perry. “It’s time to bring out the big balloons!” she added, clearly referring to Perry’s breasts.

The photo accompanying the caption is one of Ellen staring straight at Ms. Perry’s rack:

The loud feminists eager to blast straight men for their apparent innate toxicity were oddly silent. The #MeToo brigade willing to even blast 90-year-old ex-presidents? Silencio.

This is what you might call “lesbian privilege.” (Read more from “Lesbian Privilege: Ellen Shares Tweet Only She Can Get Away With in Wake of Weinstein Scandal” HERE)

Actress Claims Pres. George H.W. Bush Molested Her Like “Countless Other Women”

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Jessica Finn. Former President George HW Bush has apologized after an actress claimed he ‘sexually assaulted’ her while he was in his wheelchair.

Heather Lind, 34, who starred in AMC’s series ‘Turn: Washington’s Spies’, made the allegations against the 93-year-old former president on Instagram in a lengthy post with accompanying photos.

‘When I got the chance to meet George H. W. Bush four years ago to promote a historical television show I was working on, he sexually assaulted me while I was posing for a similar photo. He didn’t shake my hand. He touched me from behind from his wheelchair with his wife Barbara Bush by his side. He told me a dirty joke,’ Lind alleges. . .

Lind said in her since-deleted Instagram post it happened a second time: ‘And then, all the while being photographed, touched me again. Barbara rolled her eyes as if to say ”not again”. His security guard told me I shouldn’t have stood next to him for the photo’ . . .

‘We were instructed to call him Mr. President. It seems to me a President’s power is in his or her capacity to enact positive change, actually help people, and serve as a symbol of our democracy,’ the lengthy post went on. ‘He relinquished that power when he used it against me and, judging from the comments of those around him, countless other women before me,’ Lind wrote.

Former President George H.W. Bush Admits to ‘on Occasion’ Patting Women on Rear

By Kate Feldman. Former President George H.W. Bush had to issue a thousand points of apology Wednesday after two women accused him of fondling their backsides.

A spokesman for the 93-year-old acknowledged in a statement that on a few occasions Bush “has patted women’s rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner.”

The awkward touches are the result of Bush’s arm falling too low at times when he poses with people for pictures — a weakness developed over five years in a wheelchair, the spokesman said.

“To try to put people at ease, the President routinely tells the same joke,” the spokesman’s statement said. (Read more from “Former President George H.W. Bush Admits to ‘on Occasion’ Patting Women on Rear” HERE)

Facebook Censors Phil Robertson Video for ‘Graphic Violence’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

People are still trying to silence Phil Robertson.

If there was ever a perfect explanation for why the “Duck Commander” will launch his new show, “In the Woods with Phil,” on CRTV instead of cable, YouTube, or Facebook, it’s this right here:

Now, we’d like to share the clip from Robertson’s show with you, but as you can see, Facebook won’t permit us to embed it.

For now, you can watch it here, courtesy of CRTV’s Facebook page:

In the video, he prepares a duck he hunted to make some duck gumbo for lunch. He plucks it, singes it in the fire, and, of course, removes its head before cooking it. Quelle horreur!

As he’s working, Robertson talks about how some liberals believe it “takes a coward to go out and kill a bird” with a gun. “No,” Robertson says, “It takes someone who is hungry, and he wants organic food out in the wild.”

The video is Phil, his feathered duck, his pot, and a few words about living off the land and woods. Facebook censored Phil’s post for “graphic violence or gore.” Anyone who is not logged into Facebook will not be able to see the video on Robertson’s Facebook page. The post isn’t there at all – censorship in the truest sense of the word.

This is exactly the kind of extreme political correctness Robertson calls “pontificated crap.” He responded to Facebook’s censorship on Twitter:

Progressives control traditional media outlets and social media, and they use that power to place a stranglehold on conservative voices.

It’s progressivism that led Michelle Malkin’s video spotlighting targets of Islamic violence to be banned from YouTube.

It’s because of progressive control that Steven Crowder’s website was blacklisted from Facebook’s Trending News feed.

It’s because of squeamish progressives that Phil Robertson preparing a duck to eat was labeled “graphic violence or gore.”

Ever since Robertson was temporarily suspended from his hit A&E show for quoting the Bible, it’s been clear that the progressives in charge of mainstream media institutions will not provide a platform for Robertson and other Christians and conservatives to express their beliefs freely. That’s why Robertson’s show, “In the Woods with Phil,” will run daily on CRTV, an online-only platform that’s not beholden to advertisers and liberal TV executives.

“Here’s the deal, America, these are my woods,” Robertson said in a video released when the show was announced. “Out here I call the shots. If you want to hear someone mean what they say and say what they mean; if you want a healthy dose of truth; if you want to hear the name of Jesus without reservation, well, then I would suggest you come join me … in the woods.”

Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin, Steven Crowder, Phil Robertson … all these great conservatives have joined CRTV because CRTV unashamedly believes in the right to free speech. CRTV won’t censor his way of life. And CRTV will never cave to outside pressure from the liberal media because it does not need the liberal media.

Investigative Journalist Who Exposed Elite Pedophile Ring, Found Dead

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Liz MacKean, the former British investigative reporter who exposed Jimmy Savile and the culture of pedophile protection at the BBC, has been found dead. She was 52.

The BBC, who blocked her groundbreaking investigation from airing and spent the next few years attempting to destroy her reputation, are reporting that she died of “complications from a stroke.”

Acknowledging her life was under threat during the time she was investigating Savile and BBC elites, MacKean said her conscience left her no option but to pursue the truth and expose the culture of pedophila. The mother of two children believed it was her duty.

When it became public that BBC News blocked her investigation from airing, she admitted on Panorama: “I was very unhappy the story didn’t run because I felt we’d spoken to people who collectively deserved to be heard. And they weren’t heard.

“I thought that that was a failure… I felt we had a responsibility towards them. We got them to talk to us, but above all, we did believe them. And so then, for their stories not to be heard, I felt very bad about that. I felt, very much, that I’d let them down.” (Read more from “Investigative Journalist Who Exposed Elite Pedophile Ring, Found Dead” HERE)

Hillary Caught in Dirtiest Political Trick – Paid for Anti-Trump Russian Dossier

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. It’s long been rumored that Democrats were at least part of the push behind the Russian “dossier,” that allegedly links President Donald Trump to all sorts of infamous activity . . .

In a report on Tuesday from Adam Entous, Devlin Barrett and Rosalind Helderman, the paper claimed the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund research that resulted in a now-infamous dossier containing allegations about Donald Trump’s connections to Russia.

According to the links outlined by the Post, Marc Elias, a lawyer for the Hillary Clinton campaign and the party, hired Fusion GPS, a Washington firm, for the “research.”

Then Fusion hired Christopher Steele, a former British agent who has ties to the FBI and others, to write it up.

The report said Elias and his law firm, Perkins Coie, long linked to President Obama, hired Fusion in 2016 “on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC.” (Read more from “Hillary Caught in Dirtiest Political Trick” HERE)

Research for Russian Anti-Trump Dossier Was Paid for by Clinton Campaign and DNC

By Jack Davis. Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee both funded research that led to the development of a discredited dossier about President Donald Trump’s connections to Russia, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

The Post cited “people familiar with the matter” as its sources for the report.

The Post reported that Marc E. Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained the firm Fusion GPS to conduct the research. Fusion GP then hired Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer, to do the work.

Trump has furiously denied any of the salacious allegations in the dossier and recently tweeted that congressional investigations into Russia should make public the name of who paid for its development.

“Officials behind the now discredited ‘Dossier’ plead the Fifth. Justice Department and/or FBI should immediately release who paid for it,” Trump tweeted Saturday.

Democrats began funding the dossier’s development in April 2016, The Post reported. Initial research had been funded by a GOP client during the Republican presidential primaries.

Fusion GPS was still being paid by the Clinton campaign and the DNC through October 2016, the Post reported.

Fusion GPS officials have been ordered to testify before congressional committees, but have refused to speak to a House panel.

“We cannot in good conscience do anything but advise our clients to stand on their constitutional privileges, the attorney work product doctrine and contractual obligations,” Fusion GPS’s counsel Josh Levy wrote earlier this month.

“Should you compel any of our three clients to appear at the scheduled deposition, they will invoke their constitutional privileges not to testify,” Levy said in the letter. “Since that will be the case, we ask that the Committee excuse them from appearing.”

The Post reported that neither Elias and Fusion GPS could comment, nor would the Clinton campaign or the DNC.

Others, however, had a lot to say:

Three House committees have begun separate investigations into the former secretary of state, Lou Dobbs reported for Fox Business Network. (For more from the author of “Research for Russian Anti-Trump Dossier Was Paid for by Clinton Campaign and DNC” please click HERE)
