White House Flatly Rejects Amnesty Deal Proposed by John Mccain

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said Monday that a new bipartisan immigration deal put together by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was worse than the Graham-Durbin proposal President Trump rejected weeks ago.

“I have to give it to Senator Coons and McCain, congratulations, because it takes a special kind of person to write a bill that is worse than Graham-Durbin. They did it,” Gidley said, calling the McCain proposal “incredible.”

Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Chris Coons, D-Del., put forward a bill Monday that would grant amnesty in the form of permanent legal status to so-called “dreamers,” but would not authorize spending for a border wall. The McCain-Coons plan would grant amnesty to any “dreamer” who has been in the United States since 2013, a “larger pool of undocumented immigrants than the 1.8 million Trump supports legalizing,” the Washington Post reports.

President Trump previously rejected a DACA compromise proposal by Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. that likewise did not fund a wall. The president tweeted Monday that “any deal on DACA that does not include STRONG border security and the desperately needed WALL is total waste of time.”

“You have to have a border wall and a security package, the president has been very clear about this. You have to end chain migration. You have to end the visa lottery. Absolutely the president wants to fix DACA, but let’s be clear, not having a border wall is the same thing as Sen. McCain going to bed at night and locking his front door but leaving all the windows open.”

“In order to protect the American people, you have to have a wall at the border,” Gidley said. “Everyone in America sees this, and for some reason these bipartisan bills keep coming forward that don’t address the problem.”

“We can’t be in the same situation five years from now that we’re in today. The president won’t let that happen.” (For more from the author of “White House Flatly Rejects Amnesty Deal Proposed by John Mccain” please click HERE)

Black Writer: Black Caucus’ Behavior During Sotu Shows They Are ‘Slaves’ to Democratic Party

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s safe to say political commentator Candace Owens isn’t a fan of the Democratic Party or the Congressional Black Caucus, especially after the behavior they displayed during President Donald Trump’s recent State of the Union address.

After the ceremony, Owens, otherwise known as Red Pill Black, posted a series of tweets bashing the Democratic Party’s treatment of black Americans and blatant disrespect for the accomplishments achieved under the Trump administration.

The young conservative continued her Twitter rant by stating that members of the Congressional Black Caucus who remained seated during the standing ovation would have stood if the announcement came from former President Barack Obama. She added that those members who sat idly during the ovation “are nothing more than slaves to the Democratic Party.”

The YouTube star also came to the defense of black conservatives who are often ostracized and ridiculed for sociopolitical beliefs that differ from 87% of the black community that politically aligns with the Democratic Party.

“For too long, blacks that have been trying to help the black community have been labeled coons, while those that wish to destroy it have been celebrated as heroes,” Owens wrote. “That chapter is coming to an end.

“BlackAmerica is on the brink of an ideological revolution. We can’t be stopped.”

Owens’ diatribe came after cameras captured multiple members of the Congressional Black Caucus refusing to applaud and commemorate the various accomplishments achieved under the Trump administration.

During one moment in particular, Trump announced that “African American unemployment stands at the lowest rate ever recorded.”

The majority of the crowd stood to its feet and applauded the significant announcement.

But as the camera panned over the crowd, something noticeable stood out — a majority Democrats and black caucus members remained seated with dejected looks on their faces.

The conservative commentator also took several other jabs at Democrats during her Twitter tirade.

She warned her followers that “radical islamists” aren’t the only threat to America.

“If you think radical islamists are the only threat to America, you must not be watching the #SOTU,” Owens tweeted Tuesday night. “Holy crap, Democrats.”

While Owens may have been the most vocal about her disdain for the behavior of Democrats, she wasn’t the only person to voice opposition to the stunt.

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., aired his grievances with the decision on Wednesday.

“I was very, very upset when I saw the Republicans never, ever stood up with Barack Obama, and there was things I didn’t agree about President Obama in his speech,” he told MSNBC.

“But I was taught in West Virginia there’s a little bit of respect, and you should show that. And I did that then, and I did it last night,” he continued. “I think the Democrats were wrong in not showing respect. That’s just me.” (For more from the author of “Black Writer: Black Caucus’ Behavior During Sotu Shows They Are ‘Slaves’ to Democratic Party” please click HERE)

Congresswoman Caught on Camera Playing ‘Candy Crush’ During Trump’s Sotu Speech Highlights from President Trump’s First State of the Union Address

/0 Comments/in , /by

Before a joint session of Congress, President Donald Trump delivered his very first State of the Union address on Tuesday. But some lawmakers in attendance didn’t seem to be all that interested in what he had to say.

The U.K. Daily Mail pointed out that Democrat Rep. Brenda Lawrence of Michigan was clearly playing “Candy Crush” — a popular mobile game — on her phone while Trump was talking about international trade.

A Getty photo taken at about 9:42 p.m. showed Lawrence, who is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, playing the game. Moreover, the two congresswomen sitting to her left — fellow caucus members — were also focused on their cellphones.

Meanwhile, the congresswoman in the middle of the photo, Ohio Democrat Rep. Joyce Beatty, seemed to be looking over a yet-to-be-published news release responding to Trump’s speech before he was even finished talking.

A spokesperson for Beatty later told The Daily Mail that lawmakers were given copies of the president’s planned remarks beforehand.

“That State of the Union is put out an hour in advance so Democrats and Republicans can read along,” the spokesperson said. “And while the speech was going on, she was putting together a statement in response.”

Finally, New Jersey Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman — seen in the far left part of the photo, looked to be scrolling through the responses to a tweet she had put out during the address, in which she claimed Trump surrounds himself with “white nationalists.”

As of Thursday afternoon, none of the congresswomen pictured in the photo — with the exception of Beatty — had publicly addressed what exactly they were doing during the State of the Union speech.

Within hours of Trump concluding his address, though, Lawrence was already criticizing what he said.

“When you know his policies and the things he has said and the disrespect, I cannot connect the words to the person standing there,” she told The Detroit News. “He kept talking about us as Americans. I don’t feel like I’m his America. I’m been feeling that way for a long time.”

Meanwhile, as noted by The Hill, other Democrats also expressed their disapproval with the presidents’ remarks.

Many Democrats sat together and refused to clap when Trump talked about his accomplishments, like the passage of the historic tax reform bill late last month.

Here’s How Many Times Trump Said ‘I’ in His First SOTU Address… Compare That with Obama’s

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The language used by President Donald Trump in his first ever State of the Union speech on Tuesday contrasted sharply with the words of former President Barack Obama when he addressed Congress in 2010.

According to a transcript of the speech released by CNN, Trump referred to himself in the first person singular 30 times. He said the word “I” 29 times, in addition to adding one “me.”

Obama, when he delivered his first State of the Union, used “some version of ‘I’ or ‘me’ nearly 100 times,” wrote Dan Gainor, the vice president for business and culture at the Media Research Center.

In an op-ed for Fox News, Gainor wrote that Obama made these “I” or “me” references nearly four times as often as Trump did.

“Obama’s 2010 speech was littered with “I” or a contraction in some form or another — 88 times, with another 10 “me,” Gainor wrote.

In one sentence, for example, Obama managed to say the word “I” four times.

“But when I ran for president, I promised I wouldn’t just do what was popular, I would do what was necessary,” the then-president said.

There was only one time, meanwhile, when Trump said “I” twice in the same sentence, according to Gainor.

As Gainor noted, mainstream media outlets often accuse Trump of having a massive ego. A recent headline from Vanity Fair read, “Will Trump’s ego launch a nuclear war?” Moreover, Politico tried to connect the president’s ego to alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

But if their speeches are any indication, it’s Obama, not Trump, who was obsessed with himself, Gainor suggested.

A 2009 study from NewsBusters, a division of the MRC, claimed that in his first 41 speeches as president, Obama mentioned himself 1,198 times.

Trump’s Tuesday address could not have been more different.

In addition to limiting his usage of “I” and “me,” Trump made a point of saying the words “we” or “our.”

According to The Daily Caller, Trump said “we” 129 times, and “our” 104 times.

“As long as we are proud of who we are and what we are fighting for, there is nothing we cannot achieve,” Trump said near the end of his 80-minute long address. “As long as we have confidence in our values, faith in our citizens, and trust in our God, we will never fail.”

“Our families will thrive. Our people will prosper. And our nation will forever be safe and strong and proud and mighty and free,” he added, emphasizing the importance of coming together as Americans and celebrating our shared heritage.

President Donald Trump Gives First State of the Union Address

/0 Comments/in , /by

“The state of our union is strong because our people are strong,” President Donald Trump said Tuesday at the start of his very first State of the Union address.

During the speech, Trump touched on the many things his administration has achieved in its first year, but also looked to the future and recognized that there is still much to do.

Though he delivered the speech before a joint session of Congress at the Capitol Building, Trump was talking directly to the millions of people watching at home when he touted one of his major themes — a “new American moment.”

Flanked by Vice President Mike Pence and House Speaker Paul Ryan, the president started by repeating his oft-used campaign slogan. But with the campaign long over, he emphasized unity, noting that his administration is “making America great again for all Americans.”

Trump continued to highlight unity, explaining that “no people on earth are as fearless” as Americans.

“Together,” he stressed that his administration is building a “safe, strong and proud America.”

A big part of this, Trump indicated, can be seen in his administration’s economic achievements.

During his address to Congress in February 2017, Trump promised to enact historic tax reform. With the help of GOP leaders in the House and Senate, he was successful.

“Our massive tax cuts provide tremendous relief for the middle class and small businesses,” Trump said Tuesday.

“Since we passed tax cuts, roughly 3 million workers have already gotten tax cut bonuses — many of them thousands of dollars per worker,” he added.

Trump used the success of the tax reform effort to explain that the current day and age represents a new “moment” in American history.

“This is our new American moment,” Trump said. “There has never been a better time to start living the American dream.”

“This is your time,” he added, specifically speaking those watching at home. “If you work hard, if you believe in yourself, if you believe in America,” then anything is possible, he stated.

In addition to tax reform, Trump boasted of the record highs the stock market has seen in his first year in office, as well as record-low unemployment figures — including among African-Americans and Hispanics.

Wages are rising, small business confidence is at “all-time high” and Obamacare’s controversial individual mandate is gone, Trump said.

Throughout his speech, the president continued to promote a theme of unity.

“Americans,” he said, “love their country. And they deserve a government that shows them the same love and loyalty in return.”

However, he could not help but make a reference to a major controversy, alluding to the NFL’s national anthem debate, which erupted after many players refused to stand for the anthem.

Drawing attention to the importance of the American flag and the respect that it deserves, Trump underlined the significance of standing for the national anthem.

“We put our hands on our hearts for the pledge of allegiance and we proudly stand for the national anthem,” he said, garnering raucous applause from many of the assembled lawmakers.

Trump went on to highlight the ways his administration has worked to make Americans trust their government again.

The president cited several of his administration’s achievements as evidence that he is devoted to ensuring the future is bright for the U.S.

“We have eliminated more regulations in our first year than any administration in history,” he said, in addition to ending the wars on “American energy” and “beautiful, clean coal.”

“America has also finally turned the page on decades of unfair trade deals that sacrificed our prosperity and shipped away our companies, our jobs and our nation’s wealth,” Trump stated.

Trump then called on both parties in Congress to approve his infrastructure plan in order to “give us the safe, fast, reliable, and modern infrastructure our economy needs and our people deserve.”

“America is a nation of builders,” he said. “We built the Empire State Building in just one year – isn’t it a disgrace that it can now take ten years just to get a permit approved for a simple road?”

“Together, we can reclaim our great building heritage,” he said, painting a picture of a nation with “gleaming new roads” and highways — all of it built by Americans.

Infrastructure isn’t the only issue that needs bipartisan attention, Trump suggested.

With the fates of “Dreamers” — the illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and were protected by the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program — still up in the air, the president indicated that he is willing to work with lawmakers to find a solution.

“Tonight I am extending an open hand to work with members of both parties, Democrats and Republicans, to protect our citizens, of every background, color, and creed,” he said.

Though Trump expressed a willingness to work with Democrats on DACA, he also talked about the dangers of illegal immigration, specifically citing murders carried out by members of gangs like MS-13.

When Trump asked family members of people who have been murdered by gang members to stand, lawmakers gave them a standing ovation.

Then, the president explained how he is working to close loopholes in the immigration system so that such tragedies stop occurring.

“Americans,” he said, “are dreamers too.”

Trump also laid out in detail his immigration reform plan. It’s a four-pillar plan that he admitted won’t please both sides, but it’s one that’s needed anyway.

The first pillar is a pathway to citizenship for the roughly 1.8 million illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. Under Trump’s plan, these immigrants can become U.S. citizens over a period of 12 years.

The second pillar — border security — involves “building a great wall on the southern border,” Trump said, in addition to hiring more agents to beef up security.

As the third pillar, Trump called for an end to the visa lottery system, which he said randomly hands out green cards to immigrants. Instead, he wants a merit-based program that prioritizes skilled immigrants who will contribute to American society.

Finally, Trump said it is necessary to end chain migration. Though his point was met with scattered boos from Democrats in the crowd, Trump said such a move is “vital for the security and future of America.”

This immigration plan, Trump said, represents him following through on his “iron-clad pledge to put America first.”

The president discussed other domestic issues as well, including his administration’s efforts to improve the Veterans’ Affairs health care system and battle the opioid crisis.

After focusing on the domestic front, Trump turned to foreign policy, celebrating the fact that the Islamic State group has been almost completely defeated.

Still, he said there is work to be done.

“We will continue our fight until ISIS is defeated,” he said.

With the fight against terror organizations like al-Qaida and the Islamic State group still ongoing, Trump said that just before entering the Capitol to give his speech, he signed an executive order directing Defense Secretary James Mattis to ensure that the Guantanamo Bay terrorist detention center stays open.

The Middle East wasn’t the only region of the world Trump talked about.

The president criticized North Korea’s “reckless pursuit of nuclear missiles,” something he warned could “threaten our homeland.”

Unlike previous administrations, Trump indicated that he plans to stand up to North Korea and its leader, Kim Jong Un.

“Past experience has taught us that complacency and concessions only invite aggression and provocation,” he said. “I will not repeat the mistakes of the past administrations that got us into this dangerous position.”

Trump concluded by recounting how the fight for freedom in America started centuries ago. It began with the American Revolution and has continued throughout the years, with soldiers sacrificing their blood to make sure that the U.S. stays free.

“And freedom stands tall over one more monument: this one. This Capitol,” Trump said. “This living monument to the American people,” he added, sparking chants of “USA!” from the crowd. (For more from the author of “President Donald Trump Gives First State of the Union Address” please click HERE)

Obama Admin Surveillance Abuses Memo Could Go Public Shortly

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump has reportedly signed off on the expedited release of a Congressional memo that documents widespread surveillance abuse by the Obama administration’s intelligence apparatus.

The president will reportedly wait until after Tuesday night’s State of the Union address to release the highly-anticipated memo, which was drafted by House Oversight Committee Chairman Devin Nunes.

Trump aides reportedly advised the president to hold off on releasing the memo until after his speech, so that he could deliver his message to the nation without any competing media narratives.

White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders told reporters Tuesday:

“We are incredibly focused on the State of the Union and the President wants to make sure that this is his moment to speak to the American people, and I think that is where his focus is going to be all day today.”

Many Republicans in Congress have concluded that the memo is essential to understanding the Obama administration’s abuses of power in office. Democrats, on the other hand, have proclaimed the memo as a partisan “nothingburger.”

Notably, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe abruptly left his position at the Bureau Monday, after his boss, FBI Director Chris Wray, viewed the memo. (For more from the author of “Obama Admin Surveillance Abuses Memo Could Go Public Shortly” please click HERE)

Pro-Trump Singer Wears Pro-Life Dress at Grammy Awards

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hollywood award shows have been popular platforms for political statements lately, but the messages tend to skew toward the left.

Tonight at the Grammy Awards, though, American singer Joy Villa made a very conservative statement on the red carpet.

The 31-year-old, who has released a handful of singles since 2011, wore her [pro-life] views on her sleeve — or, we should say, her dress.

Villa turned up on the red carpet on Sunday evening in a customized white gown, originally by Pronovias. On the full skirt, she hand-painted the image of a [baby] radiating colors of the rainbow.

She accessorized with a tiara — she likes to go by Princess Joy Villa — and a small white bag that spelled out her message, in case anyone missed it. (Read more from “Pro-Trump Singer Wears Pro-Life Dress at Grammy Awards” HERE)

Trump: ‘Firing’ Report Is Fake News

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Washington Examiner. President Trump said Friday that the New York Times story saying he wanted to fire special counsel Robert Mueller last year was “fake news.”

“Fake news, folks, fake news,” Trump said in Davos. “Typical New York Times fake stories.”

The Times’ report said Trump ordered Mueller to be fired, and was stopped by White House counsel Don McGahn, who said firing Mueller in the middle of his probe into Russian meddling in the election would be a political disaster for Trump.

McGahn later said the idea of firing Mueller has “never been on the table, never.” (Read more from “Trump: ‘Firing’ Report Is Fake News” HERE)

Trump Slams Report Claiming He Sought to Fire Mueller, Blames ‘Fake News’

By Fox News. President Trump on Friday denied reports that he ordered the firing of Special Counsel Robert Mueller in June and only backed down after his White House counsel refused to carry out the instruction and threatened to resign . . .

The Times’ report said that White House lawyer Don McGahn said he would not deliver the order to the Justice Department, according to The Times, which cites four people familiar with the request by the president.

Trump argued at the time that Mueller could not be fair because of a dispute over golf club fees that he said Mueller owed at a Trump golf club in Sterling, Va, the report said. The president also believed Mueller he had a conflict of interest because he worked for the same law firm that was representing Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner.

FBI ‘Loses’ Text Messages in Two Cases; MSM Silent About Massive Corruption

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s no coincidence that the FBI has conveniently lost text messages in two cases; one dealing with anti-Trumpers within the agency, and the other dealing with the Clinton investigation.

The FBI is claiming 5 months of texts from their employee Peter Strzok and lawyer Lisa Page are missing, yet the DOJ’s Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, contradicts this claim by stating his office received the “missing text” in August of last year.

As Zerohedge reported, is someone lying or just incompetent? Did Horowitz’s office *think* they had received the texts in question without actually verifying? Did the DOJ screw up and fail to read Horowitz’s letter before “losing” the text messages so that “leaky” Congressional investigators wouldn’t see them? Either way, this question needs answering.

In another separate case, you have more Clinton text documents going missing which is typical when the crime family is under any type of investigation as is evident from history.

Both Strzok and Page worked on probes (investigations) into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails and possible collusion between Russia and President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign briefly, Reuters reported.

The texts missing are for the period between Dec. 14, 2016 and May 17, 2017.

UPDATE: The text messages have been found and are being recovered according to the office of the Inspector General.

Strzok, a veteran counterintelligence agent, was discharged from Robert Mueller’s team after Mueller learned that Strzok had exchanged politically charged anti-Trump text messages with an FBI lawyer. The lawyer, Lisa Page, left Mueller’s team before the text messages were discovered.

“The Department wants to bring to your attention that the FBI’s technical system for retaining text messages sent and received on FBI mobile devices failed to preserve text messages for Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page,” Stephen Boyd, the assistant attorney general for legislative affairs at the Justice Department, wrote to Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of HSGAC, Newsmax reported.

Other text messages between Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page discuss how hackers likely obtained an email exchange between then-President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The exchange was later covered up by the FBI after the incident was removed from Comey’s closing statement on Clinton’s email investigation, AP reported.

From the text messages between FBI Agent Strzok and DOJ/FBI Lawyer Lisa Page that are available, we see that FBI Director of Counterintelligence Bill Priestap helped create the statement that FBI Director James Comey delivered in July 2016 to extricate Clinton from her investigation.

Changing the original words, Comey used Preistap to remove the connection between then-President Barack Obama to the email account of Secretary Clinton.

The Hill‘s John Solomon revealed Comey’s original memo:

Ex-FBI Director James Comey’s original statement closing out the probe into Hillary Clinton‘s use of a private email server was edited by subordinates to remove five separate references to terms like “grossly negligent” and to delete mention of evidence supporting felony and misdemeanor violations, according to copies of the full document.

Comey also originally concluded that it was “reasonably likely” that Clinton’s nonsecure private server was accessed or hacked by hostile actors though there was no evidence to prove it. But that passage was also changed to the much weaker “possible,” the memos show.

This reporter’s leak in August entitled: “FBI REBELS? Leak Hillary Clinton’s Missing Emails Were Offered To JOURNALISTS & Darknet For $500K; Given To FBI Covered Up” highlighted that the home-brewed server was hacked and that Comey’s statement was contradicted. Essentially, Comey and the FBI broke the law by lying in a federal statement to protect Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama.

The original Guccifer’s server was found to have mirrored Clinton’s server while emails were for sale on the darkweb for a whopping $500,000.

Further, anyone with a bit of computer knowledge could have “hacked” it from inside their own basement since Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and VNC (virtual network computing) ports were open, according to The Register.

The Associated Press admitted that a set of Clinton’s emails released by the State Department showed the government agency had to disable several security processes on their servers just to get it to accept email from Clinton’s private email address. Another email reveals that Clinton’s server was attacked 10 times and had to be shut down, Judicial Watch documents revealed.

Clinton herself admitted to a confidant that she suspected she had been hacked according to her top aide Huma Abedin. She reiterated that thought during a private speech, as transcripts published by WikiLeaks revealed.

“We were attacked every hour of every day and not only through the State Department system, but also through individual, personal accounts, just really fishing for anything they could get,” Clinton said in a private speech to employees of Deutsche Bank AG.

Maybe that’s why one of Clinton’s aides told a Platte River Networks employee, “Clinton didn’t need access to emails older than 60 days so the retention policy should be changed,” according to an FBI report.

Then there is the GOP operative Peter W. Smith, who sought Clinton’s emails and said he “discovered five groups of hackers two of which he alleged were Russian, on the darkweb that had copies of all 33,000 Clinton emails.” Smith, unsure of the authenticity of the emails’ hackers, eventually did send them to him and he told them to pass them on to WikiLeaks.

Smith was then found dead in a hotel near Mayo Clinic on May 14, according to death records from Olmsted County, Minnesota before receiving the documents and writing his own death note that he had taken his life due to “medical difficulties and an expiring health insurance plan.”

In September of last year, the Intelligence Committees in both the House and Senate claimed they possessed the so-called “Russian files” consisting of Clinton emails that ended up on Deep Web allegedly by hacking a server setup by Guccifer in Romania. The FBI later confirmed the existence of this server and the files contained on it in the fourth part of its report on Clinton’s email scandal.

Something to note is that Smith has a history of going after the Clintons and was one of the main forces behind the “Troopergate” scandal which stemmed from accusations that Bill Clinton was sexually harassing women, according to four state troopers who served on his security detail when he was governor of Arkansas.

Clinton wasn’t charged for her negligence despite an abundant amount of evidence that she intentionally broke the law, kind of like Marc Rich, subject of FBI leaked documents between fugitive Rich and Bill Clinton’s pardon.

Clinton gave her aides direct instructions to remove classification tags – copy, then send classified materials and told her maid to print out classified information, proving she knew that “C’ was for classified not a subset showing a thread of emails as she claimed.

In the email exchange between Clinton and staffer Jake Sullivan from June 17, 2011, Clinton advised her aide on sending a set of talking points by email when he had trouble sending them through secure means. Part of the exchange is redacted, so the context of the emails is unknown, but at one point Sullivan tells Clinton that aides “say they’ve had issues sending secure fax. They’re working on it.”

Clinton responds, “If they can’t, turn into nonpaper w no identifying heading and send nonsecure.”

The keywords are “no identifying heading and send nonsecure.”

Abedin, Clinton’s top aide, regularly forwarded classified government emails to her serial-sexting spouse, Anthony Weiner, so the disgraced former pol could print them out for her, Comey testified at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

That must all be the “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information,” that Comey cited.

Here’s one more: according to the FBI’s final report of Clinton’s case, all the employees at Platte River Networks had access to Clinton’s server and, in turn, classified information they weren’t authorized to view.

Adding onto everything else, the FBI reportedly agreed to help in the destruction of evidence by offering to destroy the laptops of Hillary Clinton’s aides Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson as part of immunity deals offered during the investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server when she was secretary of state.

Fortunately, we learned that none of that evidence was destroyed and agents refused to break the law and commit obstruction of justice through destruction of evidence, despite that they were ordered to do so according to Washington D.C. attorney, Joe DiGenova.

Weiner’s computer was discovered later in the case and allegedly had 10,000 emails in a file entitled “life insurance.”

What were Abedin and Weiner keeping evidence of on their jointly shared laptop – blackmail and life insurance against whom? Why was Abedin printing out classified information? Just another two questions that need to be answered in this long saga.

What’s worse is that agents rebelled within the FBI and included cases of hacking in their report on Clinton’s reckless mishandling of classified information, contradicting their director by noting that the server was scanned multiple times and a [redacted] Bill Clinton staffer was hacked. Agents also stated anonymously that at least five foreign intelligence agencies breached Clinton’s server.

That may be because many viewed Comey as a corrupt dirty cop during the investigation, according to several personal and online sources.

This brings us to the current day. For months I have been stating the Clinton investigation into emails and the Foundation was reopened and that the FBI was reinvestigating not just Hillary Clinton but Bill Clinton as well. This information came from several sources that have come forward alleging massive corruption within the walls of the federal bureau by high-ranking officials as we are now seeing come out now.

Then in late December under the behest of President Donald Trump’s executive order shortly before Christmas, Israeli billionaire Dan Gertler’s assets were frozen. Gertler runs Glencore, which was founded by Marc Rich. Marc Rich is one of the FBI’s most wanted criminals, pardoned by Bill Clinton in the last hours of his presidency.

This was spawned from the Paradise Papers leak exposing the corrupt questionable deals Dan Gertler made, The Guardian reported.

When I received this information I knew this was proof the FBI was going after the Clintons and they would soon announce the probe publicly. So subsequently I put out a tweet on December 30th. Shortly after in January, the email probe and “Fraudation” probe were announced. The Clintons are now under massive federal investigation, not only for Hillary’s tenure as Secretary of State but for pay-to-play deals using the Clinton foundation as a vehicle for their unethical practices to enrich themselves.

Less than 48 hours after the probe was announced, the Clinton’s secret service facility behind their house caught fire in the attic. Were corrupt agents burning evidence? We don’t know for sure but considering that electronic devices were offered to be smashed under an immunity deal (although that didn’t happen), it’s not out of the realm of possibility. Fires don’t just happen after an announcement of an investigative probe; and that wouldn’t be the first time that a strange event occurred during an active investigation of the Clintons.

The Clintons themselves have an overwhelming history of documents vanishing during investigations and committing obstruction of justice at the drop of a hat completely with impunity.

The Clintons under Bill’s presidency violated federal record keeping laws; and it was none other than James Comey who limited the scope of the investigation from looking into Clinton administration officials, while Cheryl Mills was also involved in the original email scandal Project X email gate.

It’s not just Whitewater; it’s several investigations where documents have turned up missing, exonerating the Clintons and clearing them of guilt, despite these huge violations and obstruction of justice.

Maybe that’s why Former FBI Assistant Director James Kallstrom called the Clintons “a crime family” – they have had way too much “luck” during investigations. (For more from the author of “FBI ‘Loses’ Text Messages in Two Cases; MSM Silent About Massive Corruption” please click HERE)

Once Again, Actual Science Supports Trump Admin Deregulation Plan over Obama

/0 Comments/in , /by

Methane emissions in Texas’ biggest oil and gas-producing counties cratered between 2011 and 2016, according to a report from a group that promotes natural gas production.

Emissions dropped over 211,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent during that five-year period among the state’s natural gas-producing counties, according to an analysis from Texans for Energy.

Similar reduction levels were noted among the ten largest oil-producing counties.

“The story on methane is all about technological innovation, particularly how Texas oil and gas producers have been able to make us more energy secure while also reducing emissions,” Steve Everley, a spokesman for Texans for Natural Gas, said in a statement to The Daily Caller News Foundation.

CO2e is a measure used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases — usually methane and nitrous oxide — based upon their global warming potential.

Production spiked while emissions significantly decreased, the analysis also found. Midland County, for instance, produced nearly 73 million barrels of oil in 2016, roughly a 296 percent increase since 2011, according to the report that was conducted using the Environmental Protection Agency’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program.

Technological advancements are successfully doing what regulations could only hope, Everley said of the techniques energy producers use to extract natural gas from Texas’ Permian Basis.

“Critics of the U.S. oil and gas boom have repeatedly claimed that methane is an environmental threat that requires new regulations from Washington,” he added.

Midland Country was not the only country in oil-rich Texas to see a dramatic emission decrease.

Natural gas production in Webb County increased by 127 percent between 2011 and 2016, and emissions in the county plummeted about 37,000 metric tons CO2e — or a 97 percent decline.

President Donald Trump announced in December 2017 that he would suspend or delay key requirements of a former President Barack Obama-era global warming regulation to reduce methane emissions on federal lands.

Oil companies have complained about the regulations since they were implemented in 2015.

The Bureau of Land Management will delay portions of the Obama administration’s methane flaring rule until 2019 to give the agency time to review the rule. BLM found the oil and gas industry would be “unnecessarily burdened” by a regulation that may be rewritten.

Obama finalized the rule in 2016 as part of his plan to fight global warming.

Forcing oil companies to install new equipment to reduce venting and flaring would supplement costs to taxpayers, officials claimed at the time.
