Fox Board, Paul Ryan, the Murdochs involved with Tucker's firing: report

The eight members of the Fox Corporation board, consisting of eight members that include Paul Ryan and two Murdoch family members, were involved with getting Tucker Carlson fired, according to reports.

[H/T Breitbart News]

The day before the Dominion trial was set to begin, and before the network's number one money maker in the entire cable industry was fired, Fox’s board of directors reviewed previously disclosed text messages sent by Carlson to his producer that caused the board to hatch a plan to hire a law firm to investigate Carlson, two sources told New York Times.

“It remains unclear how the text escaped more notice earlier, given that the Fox legal team was aware of it and other offensive texts written by Mr. Carlson,” the Times reported. “Mr. Carlson had even been asked about it during a deposition, according to several people who have read the unredacted transcripts of his deposition.”

The board is probably going to undergo close scrutiny regarding its handling of the Dominion voting machine case during additional legal action in Delaware, which may include Carlson's texts.

Former speaker of the House Paul Ryan, Fox Corporation Chair Rupert Murdoch, and Murdoch’s son, Lachlan Murdoch, are prominent members of Fox’s board.

“How Fox’s executives and board handled the case in the months before the trial was scheduled to begin is expected to be at issue in shareholder lawsuits filed against the company in Delaware,” the Times reported. “Though Mr. Carlson’s show, ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight,’ was only a small factor in the Dominion suit, his personal texts were drawing outsize scrutiny.”

Once the lawsuit with Dominion was settled, Carlson was fired. After the settlement was complete, a Fox News source told Breitbart News that there was a meeting with the Murdochs and potentially Paul Ryan.

Shortly after the Dominion lawsuit was settled, Carlson was ousted. A Fox News source told Breitbart News an important meeting involving the Murdochs and potentially Paul Ryan occurred at Fox after the settlement that led to Carlson’s ouster.

“After the Dominion settlement, there was clearly a meeting at the network—I don’t know if it was a board meeting or just the Murdochs, but someone made a decision—and said these two are the biggest threats to the network and they don’t listen to anyone,” the source told Breitbart News about Carlson as well as Dan Bongino who had been fired prior to Carlson.

The Dominion settlement, along with additional legal exposure, changed the board’s outlook on Carlson and ultimately led to his ouster. The Murdochs were rattled, sources told Breitbart News.

Paul Ryan gives unintentional support to Trump for 2024

Former relevant Republican and House Speaker Paul Ryan unintentionally gave former President Donald Trump a boost for his nomination in the 2024 presidential election.

In spite of his anemic popularity Ryan still seems to think that his words can make people take him seriously. Sure, in a way we do, but not in the way he uses them in order to influence us. 

Ryan was interviewed by WITI Milwaukee's Jason Calvi and threatened the country's GOP with his refusal to attend the upcoming 2024 Republican National Convention if President Trump was the nominee.  “It depends on who the nominee is. I’ll be here [in Milwaukee at the convention] if it’s someone not named Trump,” he warned the nation.

Well, that made everyone stop and think: if Ryan refuses to attend the convention if Trump gets the nod, why should I? Oh yeah, because Ryan won't be there. 

The ego on some of these politicians is breathtaking.

“You won’t show up if it’s Trump?” Calvi asked.

“I’m not interested in participating in that, no,” Ryan responded. He blamed Trump for the loss of Republican seats in the last few elections, and would have blamed him for the East Palestine train derailment and toxic chemical spill and fires if Calvi asked him whose fault was the disaster. Ryan claimed that if Trump ran again, Republicans would lose and Joe Biden would be shaking hands with memories.

“There are great people running. I know them all. They’re all pretty decent friends of mine, and so I think any one of these candidates that are thinking about getting in the race, if they get in the race, would be a great candidate.”

“I think we’re going to beat Joe Biden if we don’t run Donald Trump,” he added.

I don't fully disagree with Ryan. 

I believe that Trump did great things in his presidency, but I believe he is really a one-term president. Don't get me wrong, if Trump won the nomination, I would gladly vote for him, but Ryan may be correct in what he predicts. Trump drains the energy from the room--he's always "on," and he gets deeply involved in the daily minutiae of life.

But Ryan may be correct in his prediction, and even though Trump would be a much better POTUS than any Democrat, the media will be relentlessly attacking him and blaming him for everything they can.

At least Paul Ryan is inadvertently making the case to vote for Trump. It's like things the Left says--you know that when they say something, you can count on the opposite being true--it's known as the "ass backwards effect."

Here are some of the things people are saying about Paul Ryan's statement:

I was kinda on the fence about who I supported until that ringing endorsement for Trump.

There are few I despise more than Ryan.

— JT (@DesertRatJT) February 25, 2023

Man, every time I start moving away from Trump, the world throws me one more reason to stick with him…

— MikeGranby (@MikeGranby) February 25, 2023

A Complete & Total Endorsement of @realDonaldTrump, love it!

— Dan Scavino Jr.🇺🇸🦅 (@DanScavino) February 25, 2023

 So if Trump gets the nod and Ryan doesn't attend the RNC Convention, there will be no need for tissues. People on social media were quite clear that Ryan is no longer relevant and don't care a fig what he says or does.

Toilet-mouth Hogg calls Pelosi "Old" and 'it' hits the proverbial fan

David "Publicity" Hogg called Nancy Pelosi "Old," specifically that "Older Democrats just won't move the f*ck off the plate and let us take control. Nancy Pelosi is old."

Note the word 'control'--it's relevant regarding how this power-hungry kid thinks.

Now the Hoggster is facing criticism from his supporters in a New York magazine article on Sunday about his obvious ageism insult to Pelosi [who can be insulted on so many other levels--age not necessarily one of them].

A spokesperson for the geriatric congresswoman told BuzzFeed News on Wednesday that she had no comment about Hogg's mindless remarks. His stupidity speaks for itself, and his anger and prejudice in his identity politics gives liberals the true reputation they deserve.

The ageist Hogg said "the reason Republicans are successful right now is because they're empowering young people."

He said that Paul Ryan was 45 when he became the youngest Speaker of the House and that "older Democrats just won't move the f*ck off the plate and let us take control. Nancy Pelosi is old."

If it was up to Hogg, there would be no Second Amendment and the First Amendment would only apply to progressives and Antifa. College tuition would be free to students and paid for by taxing the hell out of working people. Healthcare would also be free with a one-party provider. Conservatives would not be permitted to speak on college campuses because all conservative speech would be classified as hate speech.

Socialism would prevail, if it was up to Hogg, until it no longer prevailed.

But you've got to hand it to Hogg--he's an opportunist who took the tragedy of the Parkland massacre and turned it into a sweet profit.

John Legend does a De Niro on Paul Ryan

In an attempt to regain his relevance song singer John Roger Stephens who goes by the fake name John Legend, attacked Paul Ryan with words for a Father's Day post.

Stephens/Legend wrote: "Seriously, f**k you." He didn't actually say that to Ryan's face because like all weasel liberals, he didn't want to deal with getting his butt kicked.

All that Ryan did to deserve Legend/Stephens' anger was to post a video for Father's Day about his love for his children amid controversy over an old Obama-era policy involving immigrant families who come here illegally and get split up at the border because the law states that children cannot remain in detention over 20 days.

"Seriously, f**k you," the De Niro copycat tweeted. "Reunite the families at the border and we can talk about father's day."

First of all, Ryan has nothing to do with the law that is being upheld by the present administration, and second of all, he probably doesn't think talking to a moron who was lucky enough to be born with a good singing voice knows anything about the situation. Talking to Legend would be like talking to the cretins on "The View."

Parents who take their kids along on their illegal trek into the US are guilty, not the people who are abiding by the law.

Obama was never attacked for taking the same measures Trump is taking. The hypocrisy is laughable, just like Nancy Pelosi's defense of MS-13: "They all have a spark of divinity" [I paraphrased].

Ryan's Twitter video titled "How Becoming a Father Changed My Life" really got John Stephens-Legend upset to the point that he became a mindless potty-mouth.

And that's sad because song singer Legend should be better than that.

With hands all ablur, Pelosi sets a record

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) talked and talked and talked for 8 hours on the House floor on behalf DACA recipients (aka illegal aliens)  and boy, did her hands get tired. 

Pelosi hopes to strengthen the future of the Democratic Party by pretending she cares about DACA illegal aliens beyond their vote.

But the most impressive part of the talking was that she did it in high heels. Some in her party actually define this as 'brave,' in spite of her never have served in the military or worked as a first responder.

The same political geniuses that helped Hillary Clinton lose the election to a politically inexperienced Donald Trump, those amazing Hollywood elites, cheered Pelosi on as if she was doing something wonderful for mankind [or personkind, as that Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, mansplains to a woman who used the word 'mankind'] as she blathered on like 'The Great Zoltan' being fed a million quarters at the Midway Carnival.

Yes, that was a run-on sentence, but I like it.

The incomparable Alyssa Milano and others such as someone named RuPaul, cheered like they'd been touched by a Bieber.

Pelosi, who is pushing 29,000 days old, spent more than 8 suicide-inducing hours on the house floor reading letters from illegal aliens and begging the GOP Speaker Paul Ryan, to allow a vote on keeping the DACA program alive, even though President Trump already agreed to a number three times greater than the Obama cut-off number that allows them to stay. 

It was Pelosi grandstanding for her home base while pretending to care.

Trying to appeal to the GOP using personal stories that glorify DACA recipients who did well and leaving out DACA recipients who have killed American citizens in various ways, Pelosi spoke of the 900 who joined the military, making it sound as if that number was a significant percentage of the 1.8 million in the program. (By the way, it's 0.05%.)

Well, she finally finished and Twitter nearly caught on fire, like the paper evidence in Hillary's desk drawer.

Newsweek does an "Onion" spoof

Newsweek magazine may be sued by The Onion for an article they published by an alleged Harvard Law School professor who goes by the name Lawrence Lessig, an actual Harvard Law School professor. 

The Onion-like spoof suggests a scenario whereby Hillary Clinton could still become president.

Harvard professor, Newsweek mocked for claims Clinton can still become president, even though she was never voted into that office after being embarrassed by losing to Donald J. Trump.

The real Lawrence Lessig is a Roy L. Furman professor of law and leadership at Harvard Law School. This person [it could be a man or woman, we don't really know] outlined a fantasy in which Clinton could steal the reins of power in the event of a series of impeachments of the Trump administration.

The Onion, normally a smiley-faced satirical newspaper, was livid by the spoof.

Anyway, here's what the so-called "professor" said:

If Trump resigns or gets impeached, Vice President Mike Pence resigns or gets impeached and then House Speaker Paul Ryan, who would become the next in line as POTUS, could then appoint Hillary Clinton as his deputy and then resigns, she would become the FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERRRICAAAAAA!

"This is one way that it could happen," the person calling him- or herself Lessig told Newsweek, who then printed the story. The so-called professor first envisioned this scenario in a blog post in October.

"If Ryan became President because the Trump/Pence campaign committed treason, who should he nominate as his Vice President?" he blogged. "The answer seems unavoidable: He should nominate the person defeated by the treason of his own party, and then step aside, and let her become the President."

Hahahahahahahaha.

No wonder The Onion is angry at Newsweek. They tried to pull this crap off as real. 

Nobody who is serious about political philosophy would ever believe this load of garbage, except perhaps someone who still cannot get over the loss of Hillary Clinton, the worst possible candidate who ever cackled and farted quarters, to a reality TV guy, known to have cheated on all three of his wives and said he could shoot a person on the streets of Manhattan and get away with it.

A few people on social media thought that Newsweek was being serious about this article and attacked the canary cage liner mag pointing out that the U.S. Constitution and existing laws clearly define the line of succession and Clinton's position isn't mentioned even  once.

But Newsweek had to be kidding. Nobody would take that assertion seriously, would they?

Wall Street Journal writer Byron Tau said, "What's left of Newsweek is actively making people dumber and less informed and honestly should be unfollowed and shunned for this kind of behavior."

I guess Tau just didn't get the joke. The writer of the article couldn't possibly be a real law professor.

Theologean tax expert Rosie O'Donnell says Ryan will go to hell

Theological tax expert and failed comedian, Rosie O'Donnell says that House Speaker Paul Ryan pretends to be a Catholic alter boy, but she has word from above that he's going straight to hell when he dies after helping draft a tax reform bill that will save 80 percent of Americans money on their taxes.

Using a signature Trump ploy, the plump O'Donnell went to Twitter to tweet her religious/political beliefs.

"paul ryan--don't talk about Jesus after what u just did to our nation--you will go straight to hell."

Then she added:

"U screwed up fake alter boy."

She obviously forgot a comma after 'fake' but she only claims to be an expert on taxes and religion. She finished up her Christmas cheer with the hashtag: "#JUDASmuch" referring to Judah, who betrayed Jesus.

O'Donnell has thus far gotten away with attempting to bribe two senators $2 million each to vote against the tax bill. Instead of taking her sage advice, Senators Jeff Flake and Susan Collins voted for the tax bill which will save many people much money. 

Charges against the O'Donnell have not as yet been filed, but she will probably not be charged due to her sexual orientation, which somehow makes her a victim and free to do and say whatever she desires.

What appeared to set off the angry lesbian was a Christmas video message posted by Ryan honoring the birth of Jesus. 

A representative for the House Speaker responded to O'Donnell's characteristically livid tirade simply by saying, "We wish everyone a Merry Christmas!"

Perhaps it was the Trump-like exclamation point at the end of the sentence that got Rosie's goat, but got her goat it did.

Rosie has also gone after conservative commentator Ben Shapiro over the same GOP tax reform plan that flipped her out with Paul Ryan. 

She made an obscene sexual remark to Shapiro: "Suck my d**k, Ben," and also tweeted, "Lick me." 

Shapiro reported the harassment to Twitter as a test to see if they would take action against a liberal crap weasel, but they predictably did nothing and initially declined to delete the tweet, then later did.

Just to clear the record, Rosie is not a transgender guy pretending to be an obese woman. She is actually a female and does not have a d**k nor much of a brain, it seems. 

She ended up blocking Ben Shapiro because she isn't in the same league as he is and cannot possible go toe-to-toe in an actual political discussion.

However, she apparently knows if Ben is going to heaven or hell--she just isn't saying.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Ben Rhodes slammed for tweeting about GOP leaders' 'obits'

Ben Rhodes has an MFA in creative writing and he's the brother of David Rhodes, the president of CBS. There is an interesting article written last year about him in ForeignPolicy.com. It should tell you a lot of what you need to know about this guy.

Rhodes a former Obama adviser and aspiring novelist (writing for Obama gave him lots of practice) was awakened to a boat-load of condemnation from people who found it disgusting and distasteful that he joked about "obits" for top Republican leaders. 

But he has an excuse: he's a schmuck.

The Rhodes tweet made reference to a photo posted of President Trump's Instagram account showing him, Vice President Pence, House Speaker Ryan, and Senate Majority Leader McConnell smiling and evidently celebrating the passage of the GOP tax reform bill.

Dan Pfeiffer, another Obama adviser, first tweeted of the photo: "I hope this is the photo they use on the front page of the Times on the day Trump is indicted."

Rhodes followed up seven minutes later:

"And alongside the obits for Ryan, McConnell, and Pence."

Yes, that scum-crumpet Rhodes actually wished for the deaths of Republican leaders. 

He may have possibly meant their political obituaries, a common term used in Washington, but without making it clear, we can assume the former based on the wording.

Paul Ryan's press secretary, AshLee Strong fired back:

"Really? Obits? Irresponsible and dangerous tweet. Hope you see fit to delete this."

She was being too kind, albeit a consummate professional in the way she handled Rhodes.

Then Rep. Steve Scalise )R.-La.) the congressman seriously wounded in the shooting at the Republican congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Va., last June tweeted:

"You may want to reconsider your rhetoric." 

Sick responses from the masses followed. One schmuck buckler wished that Ryan "dies" and another of sadistically sick thinking wished for an "excruciating, torturous death in public so we can all watch and cheer."

Strong responded, again with thought and insight tweeting: 

"And if you have any doubts about what rhetoric like @brhodes' inspires, just look at the responses here.

Ben Rhodes is truly a disgusting person and diminishes all he has served.

House approves final tax reform bill

The U.S. House of Representatives approved a huge tax bill that will create huge rate cuts for American companies and double the deduction that millions of families claim on their annual tax returns. It will also make other important changes. It is the biggest rewrite of the tax code since Reagan was president.

To quote Joe Biden who whispered into Barack Obama's ear and was heard by millions, this tax reform package is a "big f**k**g deal." 

The bill passed on a 227 to 203 vote. It is expected to clear the Senate, but hey, you never know.

The $1.5 trillion bill would give President Trump a major legislative victory and bring Christmas joy to millions, although it will take until next year before they see more money in their paychecks.

"Today, we are giving the people of this country their money back," House Speaker Paul Ryan (R.-Wis.) said on the House floor, unable to contain a big smile.

Ryan spoke at an earlier press conference and said that "families at every income level get a tax cut." He vowed that a family of four making the median income of just over $70,000 would see a tax cut worth over $2,000.

"This is real relief, and people are going to see this in their paychecks before too long," he said. ". . . This is the greatest example of a promise being made and a promise being kept."

Democrats, of course, opposed the bill unanimously. They called it a "scam" that only benefits the wealthy, but once the public sees more money in their paychecks, Democrats will look foolish.

The speaker led a round of applause on the House floor minutes before the vote and thanked "architect" Rep. Kevin Brady (R.-Tx.) chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.

Barring any unexpected theatrics, the bill should pass narrowly in the Senate in just a few more hours. It will give President Trump a major victory on the domestic front.

The final bill is a combination of previously passed House and Senate legislation. It will cut corporate tax from 35 to 21 percent--that should boost business and give the economy a big shot in the arm. It would double the standard deduction used by about two-thirds of American households, to $24,000 for married couples. The current $1,000-per-child doubles to $2,000. 

And more.

The corporate tax cut will be permanent while tax cuts for individuals expires in 2026. At that time, new legislation can deal with individual need.

House Minority Leader Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi (D.-Calif.) spoke with her hands in front of a giant sign that read, "#GOPTAXSCAM."

But she didn't vote to pass it in order to read it.

Planned Parenthood's head attacks Paul Ryan for call to increase U.S. births

How horrible--the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan is suggesting to Americans to have more children. Planned Parenthood is agog--they'll go out of business if this becomes the trend.

Ryan's rationale is that the more children Americans have, the more viable Social Security and other government programs will be in the future. But even Ryan, who is Catholic, doesn't believe that abortion is ever the right path to take with unwanted pregnancies.

Cecile Richards, head of Planned Parenthood and a woman who never met a baby she wouldn't abort, went onto social media Friday to attack the idea that male lawmakers should use their bully pulpit to have the audacity of Judeo-Christian values to discuss the national birth rate.

Shame, shame Paul Ryan. You who would have babies born to women who didn't want them because they're an inconvenience or whatever. I remember Barack Obama opining over his not wanting his daughters to have the inconvenience of having a baby. 

This is the immorality of the left.

Ryan said: "I did my part, but we need to have higher birth rates in this country. Baby boomers are retiring, and we have fewer people following them in the work force. We have something like a 90 percent increase in the retirement population in America, but only a 19 percent increase in the working population in America. So what do we have to do? Be smarter, more efficient, more technology--still going to need more people."

Ms. Richards, who has already been born and has nothing to fear, head the organization which has been in the business of killing the unborn since 1916. Founded by racist and anti-Semitic, Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood boasts more life-ending work than the United States Marine Corps, and with a lot less bravery, patriotism and conscience. 

Richards tweeted her rage and linked to a Think Progress piece with alternative suggestions:

"If more members of Congress could get pregnant, maybe they wouldn't tell the rest of us when and why to get pregnant. https://t.co/pqFf7Srlkl " --(@CecileRichards) December 15, 2017

The Think Progress article recommends increased immigration because liberals can only sing one note.

"There's an obvious solution to the problem that Ryan completely ignores--allowing more immigrants into the country to fill the jobs being vacated by retiring baby boomers," Planned Parenthood's Aaron Rupar said.

When you get right down to it, Planned Parenthood doesn't plan parenthood-it plans the termination to its possibility in the potential parent cases brought to them.

More immigration is definitely not the solution to the problem. Ending abortion is a start, but so is having more children. At the rate we're going, the nation is already going to be outnumbered by immigrants anyway.

Top DoJ official no longer tops in officialdom

A senior Justice Department official was quietly demoted this week amid an ongoing investigation into his contacts with an opposition research team responsible for the anti-Trump "dossier." This information was given and confirmed by Fox News.

Bruce G. Ohr held two positions at the Justice Department: associate deputy attorney general and director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF), "the centerpiece of the attorney general's drug strategy," according to the department's description.

Those positions were stripped from him on Wednesday morning.

While he will keep his OCDETF title, his higher post was taken from him--he was ousted from his fourth floor office of "Main Justice."

At first, senior department officials couldn't give the reason for his demotion, but it was later learned that evidence collected by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), shows that Ohr met during the 2016 campaign with Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored the "dossier."

The DOJ later told Fox News, "It is unusual for anyone to wear two hats as he has done recently. This person is going to go back to a single focus--director of our organized crime and drug enforcement unit. As you know, combatting transnational criminal organizations and drug trafficking is a top priority for the Attorney General."

It was also discovered that Ohr met shortly after the election with the founder of Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson. This is the opposition research firm that hired Steele to compile the anti-Trump dossier with funds supplied by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, a known crime organization specializing in fraud and sexual misconduct.

By this point, the dossier had been in the possession of the FBI for five months, and the surveillance on Page had begun more than two months prior. The FBI, of course, exists under the auspices of the DOJ.

Former FBI Director James Comey, testified before the House in March and described the dossier as a compendium of "salacious and unverified" allegations against then-candidate Donald Trump and his associates.

Committee Chairman Devin Nunes' panel has been investigating whether DOJ, under then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch, used the dossier to justify a foreign surveillance warrant against Carter Page, a Trump campaign adviser. If so, this puts the dossier and FBI in a bad light.

Contacts between Ohr and Steele, and Ohr and Simpson, have not been publicly disclosed nor shared with HPSCI staff to avoid embarrassment. 

The panel has issued many subpoenas for documents and witnesses related to the dossier but say the DOJ and FBI have "stonewalled," and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R.-Wis.) agreed to that assessment publicly in October.

The agencies claim that they've cooperated extensively with Nunes and his team, but it was only last weekend they agreed to make available to the committee for questioning Peter Strzok (pronounced "Strzhzhokztlmfk") the high-ranking FBI official who seemed to be the guy involved in all the interviews involving political scandals and texted his mistress with anti-Trump messages and how he promises to one day leave his wife for her etc.

Strzok was removed from the staff of Special Counsel Robert Mueller who is probing allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. Strzok was demoted to the FBI's position of Urinal Cake Installer.

Ohr's demotion marks the second one with a few months where the DOJ and FBI disciplined staff for misconduct.

At least it wasn't sexual misconduct . . . that we know of.

GOPers allege DOJ 'double standard' in Mueller probe

There are allegations by Republicans of anti-Trump bias within Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigative team and that a "double standard" exists at the Justice Department. 

GOP critics say that Hillary Clinton received "special" treatment when she was under so-called investigation over her illegal personal email server when she was the incompetent secretary of state. 

"Hillary Clinton gets special justice, and at the same time we're siccing people who hate the president . . . on him and that's deeply unfair," Rep. Matt Gaetz (R.-Fla.) told "Fox & Friends" Wednesday.

Gaetz and other House Republicans now want the FBI Director Christopher Wray to investigate the FBI's treatment of Clinton and then-candidate Trump during the 2016 campaign, and compare them. 

Gaetz has specifically sought information on former FBI head Andrew McCabe who said in an email last fall that the Clinton case was referred to as "special." And what we have recently learned about Mueller's team of liberal Hillary donors and Trump-haters, only adds to these concerns.

It was just learned this past weekend that FBI official Peter Strzok (pronounced "Strzhzhokztlmfk") was removed from the Mueller probe over the summer after he allegedly sent anti-Trump texts to his mistress, an FBI lawyer.

This past Tuesday, Judicial Watch, a conservative advocacy group, released an email showing a Mueller deputy singing the praises of outgoing acting Attorney General Sally Yates after Trump fired her in January for refusing to defend his travel ban.

The Mueller deputy, Andrew Weissmann wrote in an email to Yates:

"I am so proud. And in awe. Thank you so much. All my deepest respects."

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton called the Weissmann document an "astonishing and disturbing find."

President Trump called the Strzok views regarding his role in the Clinton email investigation as "tainted" and "very dishonest." It could have been worse--President Trump could have called it "very, very dishonest."

Strzok oversaw the FBI interviews with Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. Hillary Clinton and her minions also lied to the FBI, but they are "special."

Strzok (aka "Petey Consonants") was also present during the July 2016 interview with wicked Hillary at the close of the email investigation, right before James Comey, the then-FBI showboat director, called her grossly negligent actions "extremely careless." Because of this wording, he recommended no criminal charges.

Gaetz called that a "double standard" and joined other House GOPers who also want answers to what role Strzok played in the controversial anti-Trump dossier. He called for cleaning out the "deep state" of people "who are so biased against Donald Trump."

Remember, both Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills didn't get charged with lying to the FBI when they told them they were unaware of Clinton's private server when, in fact, there were email exchanges between the three stooges.

Special Counsel spokesman Peter Carr claimed Mueller's office removed Strzok from the Russia probe "immediately upon learning of the allegations" of the anti-Trump texts.

In a separate issue, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) has threatened a contempt resolution against leaders in the Justice Department and FBI if they continue to withhold key information related to the dossier and other issues. 

The DOJ is in the process of handing over Strzok's anti-Trump text messages. The agency also contacted the office of House Speaker Paul Ryan to establish a date for Strzok's appearance before the House Intelligence  Committee staff. There will also be two additional witnesses who had been sought after by the Nunes team.

A DOJ spokeswoman said Sunday that the agency will "continue to work with congressional committees to provide the information they request consistent with our national security responsibilities."

And if they do, chickens will darken the sky.

Trump fakes right cuts left

President Trump is criticizing Republican lawmakers as he cozies up to top Democrats, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

On Friday, Trump tweeted about the GOP's failure to pass health care legislation:

"Republicans, sorry, but I've been hearing about Repeal & Replace for 7 years, didn't happen!"

The president complained about the filibuster rule requiring 60 votes to pass major legislation and  hyperbolically tweeted that the rule will "never allow the Republicans to pass even great legislation. 8 Dems control--will rarely get 60 (vs. 51) votes. It is a Repub Death Wish!"

This week, President Trump overruled GOP leaders to cut a deal with Democrats on the debt ceiling. And while it's obvious his diehard supporters will not see a problem with that move, it was not the move of a genius.


The idea that taking the very first deal offered by Democrats and asking nothing in return, simply because it was done by the author of "The Art of the Deal," has a tough task in proving that notion, in spite of his base claiming how brilliant it was.

Clearly, Trump has abandoned Republicans to strike this deal, getting a 3-month extension on the debt ceiling and asking for nothing in return. It seems as if he's more concerned with being liked by Schumer and Pelosi than by those he calls RINOs.

In fact, Trump just did exactly what he accused 'RINOs' of doing and that is giving in to the left. 

If Hillary Clinton had been president and struck the exact same deal, Trump supporters would be livid, but since it was Trump, there must be some hidden agenda behind it, or it's just Trump's way of proving he can work with both sides of the aisle.

Sometimes, however, working with both sides of the aisle, one side at a time, is merely an indication of a lack of ideological conservatism and that Trump doesn't know what he's doing.

It was only a matter of time before we'd see Trump's pivot to the left. Where he supposedly reached across the aisle to work with the Democrats, he basically gave the shaft to GOP conservatives, something they worried about from 'day one.'

Trump started out as a New York Democrat and his favorite issues such as infrastructure, are more part of the Democratic portfolio. 

Again, President Trump does not have a serious conservative ideology.

But at least Chuck and Nancy like him again.

Trump's base would rather see him pivot and work with Democrats if it can provide him with a victory about something, anything, even if it makes the establishment look bad--particularly if it makes the establishment look bad, because now they can blame people like Ryan and McConnell rather than Trump.

Trump says that Congress has disappointed him and his most faithful supporters. But even under ideal circumstances, major legislation can't simply get out of Congress, the first branch of government, without robust presidential leadership. 

You can't outsource big decisions to Congress but Trump wasn't aware of this and still refuses to learn.

Example: earlier in the week, the Trump administration said it was ending the DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program, which allows undocumented (aka illegal) immigrants brought into the US as children, to stay here. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the program was unconstitutional.

But when the media and former president Obama attacked Trump for being heartless and cruel, Trump then made it clear that he wants Congress to restore DACA by passing legislation. 

If Congress doesn't pass legislation, he might still keep the program using the same means AG Sessions described as unconstitutional.

Pivoting to the left isn't going to work out for Trump, however, because for one, Democrats don't actually trust him and most of his agenda is too volatile for them. 

The bigger issue, however, is that it's slowly becoming clearer that while he has done some good things, overall, President Trump doesn't know what he's doing.

I truly hope I'm wrong--I want him and the USA to succeed and I'm perfectly willing to change my mind.

An analysis of Trump's galavanting to Texas and Louisiana

President Trump returned to Texas for a second time since Hurricane Harvey struck. 

The first time he flew there in Air Force One, burning all that fuel on the taxpayer's dime, his wife, Melania, went along for the ride and had the audacity of hope to wear stiletto heels when boarding the plane. This time she symbolically flipped off the media and PETA by wearing alligator stiletto heels. 

How dare she? Who does she think she is?

It's horrifying to think that on the first trip to the flood ravaged state, President Trump refused to take time for photo ops with regular people. Instead, he wasted precious time discussing strategies with officials from the Army Corp of Engineers and such, when he could have been spending quality time with frightened children, especially undocumented immigrants who are fearful they will be refused services unless they present the proper paperwork.

How dare Trump refuse to help undocumented immigrants. How dare him.

Now Louisiana has been hit by Harvey so Trump will be galavanting to that neck of the woods to show his face and Melania's stilettos, that is, unless she does what she did the first visit and change into sneakers.

It's been said that Trump is going to request $14.5 billion in immediate Harvey aid. That's a lot of money to request just for a bunch of alt-right rednecks who voted for him. 

Trump being inappropriate

He urged Congress for about $7.9 billion in the immediate aftermath of the storm on August 25th as a Category 4 hurricane. Now he wants to show off to all his cronies by asking for as much as $14.5 billion--so says The New York Times, a newspaper that never misses the mark. 

Congress returns Tuesday, after the Labor Day holiday and assures Republican leaders of the GOP-controlled House and Senate that they'll get right to work on Trump's request.

Of course they would--if the House and Senate were controlled by the Democrats, they wouldn't give in to his demands.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) tweeted Friday evening:

"As families & communities begin long recovery from Hurrican Harvey, House will act quickly on @POTUS request for emergency relief funding."

It's obvious to those on the left that the only reason Ryan is going along with [impeach] Trump is to get himself reelected.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) also promised to move fast on the president's request for federal assistance. There goes another old white man spending the people's money just to look good.

So far at least 47 people have died from Trump's storm and about 72,000 have been rescued.

If it wasn't for Donald J. Trump recklessly trying to set records, this hurricane probably wouldn't have happened.

Because everything bad is Trump's fault--if you don't believe me, check out CNN.

McCain hasn't yet met with POTUS since he took office

Brussels -- Senator John McCain (R-AZ) spoke at German Marshall Fund's Brussels Forum where he complained that since President Trump took office, he has not been invited to meet with him and feels slighted and unwanted. He urged Trump to reach out to his opponents on both sides of the aisle, just like Ronald Reagan did, if he wants to appeal Obamacare.

"Do some outreach. Get to know some of the Democratic leaders," he said, after having sung "Kumbaya" with Democratic-ish politicians like Lindsey Graham and Paul Ryan, who was there in spirit only. "You can find common ground," McCain added, referring to the idea of giving up conservative values.

McCain said he'd met Trump years ago when he was a businessman, but hadn't met him since. But was quick to add that he does speak a heck of a lot to National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, adding that they are both BFFs.

Derek Chollet of German Marshall Fund and a former Obama Pentagon official sided with McCain saying that "He doesn't seem to be that upset that he's not talking to him. He's trying to run U.S. defense policy through Mattis and effectively ignore Trump."

The White House had no response to the request for comment.

McCain has always been a vocal Trump critic and said of his tweet-diarrhea that it has caused "a great deal of uncertainty" regarding who he listens to as president. "Who drives the tweets at 6 a.m. in the morning?" he said redundantly as there is no 6 a.m. at night or afternoon.

The aging Senator also expressed concerns over the Trump campaign's alleged ties to Moscow, but didn't seem to care a fiddler's fart about the fact that leaking those names is a felony. "I have significant concerns about the intelligence committee's ability to get to the bottom of this issue," McCain said. "We need a select committee."

But he emphasized that the controversy shouldn't stop Trump from meeting with Russian counterparts to make tremendous deals that are very, very good deals.

"I just hope that one day Donald and I can be good friends and let bygones be bygones."

A bill to deal with countries who refuse their illegal immigrant excons

Casey Chadwick was murdered in 2015 by an illegal immigrant from Haiti named Jean Jacques. Jacques was just one of thousands who were freed each year after serving prison time but their native countries refused to take them back.

Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) has proposed a law that would finally punish countries that refuse to take back their illegal immigrant crap-wafers. Unfortunately, it's too late for Casey but it will likely save lives in the future.

The bill is called the Criminal Alien Deportation Enforcement Act and it would force countries to take back their citizens or face losing their foreign aid and travel visa privileges. 

It's a good idea.

"The problem is hundreds of Americans are being robbed, assaulted, raped or murdered every year by criminal aliens who are then released back onto the streets because their countries of origin refuse to take them back," said Babin. "I have personally met with a number of these victims, or if the victim is deceased, I have met with their families. It is heart-wrenching."

Jacques was sentenced to 60 years in prison last year for stabbing 25-year-old Casey Chadwick from Norwich. The killer had been here illegally since 1992 and already spent 17 years in prison for attempted murder and possession of a firearm without a permit.

Casey Chadwick

After he served 17 years we tried to deport him. In fact, he was listed as a passenger to fly on three charter flights back to his home country of Haiti in June, August and October 2012. Each time the Haitian government refused to repatriate him.

They were willing to take our designer jeans back in the 1980s but not their own people.

In 2001, a Supreme Court ruling, Zadvydas v. Davis, held that illegal immigrants ticketed for deportation and not accepted by their home countries can't be detained indefinitely. In the case of Jacques, he was held for 205 days, but unfortunately was freed less than six months before killing Chadwick.

Another solution: capital punishment for convicted murderers who are illegal immigrants. It should be without appeal and carried out within 30 days of conviction. Boom. Problem solved.

"For the sake of Casey and thousands of other Americans who have been victimized, it is time we start putting the safety of our citizens first and stop this revolving door that is allowing dangerous criminals who should be deported back onto our streets," Babin said.

"That's not who we are," Obama would reply if he was being honest (LOL).

Since 2013, illegal immigrants have committed 231,074 crimes after being released from prison, according to a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Many of those scum-wafers are ultimately deported, but 2,166 who served time in prison were released last year because their home countries refused them.

The bill would require the DHS to report quarterly to Congress and provide the names of uncooperative countries. Then the federal government would withhold foreign aid to those countries and the State Department would suspend visas.

Now with President Trump, the bill faces "renewed interest" as Trump "has voiced his strong support for punishing countries that refuse to accept deportations," said Babin.

Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies said that there are over 20 countries that refuse to cooperate with the U.S. and more than 60 that bust your balloons before they take anyone back.

"It's not just Cuba and Cambodia anymore; now it's China, Bangladesh, Nigeria and many others," she said. She also cited how the State Department imposed visa sanctions only once, on Gambia a few months ago and it worked right away, she explained.

"All they had to do was stop issuing visas to Gambian government officials, and they suddenly started cooperating, within weeks, which is fast in the diplomatic context," Vaughan said.

In the Obama past, the DHS would raise this issue to the State Department but nothing ever got done. 

Hope, not change.

"Many of these countries are getting millions and millions of dollars from the American taxpayer, and then not taking their criminals back," Babin said.

Under Obama, they would have gotten out of Dodge (aka Gitmo) faster than a Hillary Clinton lie, if they were terrorists. Some country would have gladly taken them off our hands . . . and given them a parade.

Ryan is in, Pelosi . . . ?

Paul Ryan is in, Nancy Pelosi is weird.

Quietly, behind closed doors, the GOP has nominated Ryan for a second term as speaker, but the Democrats appear to be having misgivings about doing the same for their minority leader Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi.

Over the past few weeks as the election loomed, it was thought that Ryan's leadership was in jeopardy, but when Trump won, and Republicans held onto their majorities in Congress, Ryan was a shoo-in.

But House Democrats were defeated solidly by deplorable voters across the country and it called into question Pelosi's position as leader.

Pelosi, who plans to try her hands at becoming a shadow puppet performer after retiring from politics, was always good at fundraising. She has been on the taxpayer dole as top House Democrat since 2002 and predicted the liberals would retake the House. She was totally wrong--the Dems only secured a small handful of seats of the thirty "Dancing Hands" predicted.

The House Democrats insisted Tuesday that delaying the voting for her seat from Thursday to November 30th is not necessarily a signal of a leadership change. However, they made it clear that the change in venue was in fact over concerns about the future of the Democratic Party.

"We need to decide where we want to fight President-elect Trump and where we want to compromise," said Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.). His home state voted Republican for the first time since 1988.

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Oh.) has been suggested as a possible challenger to Pelosi. He spoke privately with other House members without needing to emphasize his thoughts by waving his hands, but has not yet made an official bid for the job.

Even Ohio Rep. Marcy Kaptur, the longest-serving House Democrat, already signed a letter supporting Pelosi, but said she might reconsider if anyone else in her region would "come into our race."

"This is a moment for us to listen to American people," Kaptur said, but she wasn't being serious, which is why the Democrats got their butts kicked on Election Day.

Congressional Black Caucus Chairman G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.) said the decision to delay the vote came "after considerable discussion" and resulted from the party getting a "shellacking" by the voters. He said the party needs to "recalibrate," as if they are made up of air pressure indicators or something as ridiculous.

[The Congressional Black Caucus is a group of black politicians who only allow other black politicians who fall into the Democratic Party line to become a member--they refused Allen West membership due to their intolerance to better ideas.]

Both Butterfield and Boyle said they intend to vote for Pelosi however, many Americans said they would vote for Clinton and look how that turned out. The congressmen said the party lost touch with its working-class electorate, which feels desperately left behind in the new economy.

That may have to do with the fact that the Democratic Party is no longer the party of the middle-class, which is why they lost. They have become the party of future Democratic voters currently known as illegal immigrants. They have become the party of the rich folks who look down upon the middle- and lower-income Americans, referring to us is negative terms.

Privately, House Democrats said that the delayed vote was an indication that rank-and-file members are considering ditching Pelosi.

In true Clinton style, Pelosi said that they originally planned to have the vote on November 30th. "It's not a delay," she said to a group of so-called reporters and photographers.

But in a letter last week to the House Democratic Caucus, Pelosi resisted attempts for a postponement stating that other members "have indicated a strong desire to proceed with elections next week in order to prepare forcefully for the lame duck session and the challenges we will face in January."

On Tuesday, Pelosi said that the Democratic Party has "been through hell," and said "I don't care when the election is," keeping in line with "Democratic truth" as opposed to the "Truth truth."

Chicago defies Trump: will remain sanctuary city

Chicago-Ill -- The city of Chicago is pledging to remain a sanctuary city to protect undocumented immigrants from having to worry about the law. The law will apparently apply only to actual citizens. Symbolically, this is Chicago "flipping the bird" to President-elect Donald Trump.

Trump has promised to cut off federal funding from all sanctuary cities where local law enforcement isn't required to alert U.S. Immigration and Customs authorities about the immigration status of illegal aliens. 

This makes perfect sense to the left seeing as how they believe they're doing the Lord's work, even when these illegal immigrants break the law and sometimes people die.

On Monday, the city's elected officials, including Mayor Rahm Emanuel, are scheduled to hold a news conference to formally discuss how they plan to retain their sanctuary status. Aldermen are expected to call on Republican Governor Bruce Rauner to pressure Trump to go back on his promise to cut off funding.

"Across the country and in Chicago and Illinois . . . young men and women [are] very distraught about this," Chicago Alderman Danny Solis told POLITICO Illinois on Sunday.

Solis, who doesn't have a lot of respect for anyone who doesn't think exactly his way said, "There's some people, thought I disagree with them, but I have some respect for--Paul Ryan, Reince Priebus. I'm hoping that those guys have much more influence on Trump and what needs to be done not only on his first 100 days, but in his term."

Illinois Comptroller-elect Susana Mendoza, whose parents are legal Mexican immigrants and didn't have to compete with illegal Mexican immigrants for her job, called on Rauner to take a stand on the issue.

Mendoza doesn't think losing federal funding is a good idea for Chicago. "As a leader of this state, the governor, and everyone in a leadership position, should be saying it's wrong," she said. "I would expect that the governor would say, 'that's ridiculous.' Besides moral bankruptcy, it's bad fiscal policy for the city or any city."

Emanuel said in a statement: "I want to assure all of our families that Chicago is and will remain a sanctuary city. Chicago has been a city of immigrants since it was founded. We have always welcomed people of all faiths and backgrounds [including felons and potential terrorists] and while the administration will change, our values and our commitment to inclusion will not."

They call it 'inclusion' if those they're including vote Democratic.

As it now stands, other cities have affirmed their commitment to remaining illegal sanctuary cities: New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Philadelphia, and San Francisco [where Kate Steinle was killed by an illegal alien].

In a "60 Minutes" interview, Trump promised to immediately deport 2 to 3 million undocumented immigrants, and has yet to comment on unlicensed pharmacists (aka drug dealers).

Developing: FBI Re-Opens Hillary Clinton private server investigation

The FBI has reopened its investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of her illegal private server while incompetently serving as secretary of state. This new revelation comes after new emails were discovered in an unprecedented turn of events just 11 days before the presidential election.

FBI [Political] Director James "I'm With Hillary" Comey wrote to top members of Congress that the FBI has "learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation."

Comey did not go into a description of the emails in question, saying only that they surfaced "in connection with an unrelated case." [Possibly a "case" involving the nation's distrust and disdain for him, and believing him to be a political hack who doesn't deserve the respect the position of FBI Director normally deserves. But who knows?]

Comey told lawmakers the investigative team briefed him on the information a day earlier, "and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation."

It's amazing that an investigation needs to be launched in order to determine whether a document is classified or not. It's also amazing that when Clinton mentioned, in the last debate, the response time to launch in a nuclear attack, that nothing was done. And it's really amazing that Hillary Clinton is allowed to attend government briefings on secret information--based on her enormous experience, it should be obvious that she will somehow mention the content publicly.

Comey said the FBI could not yet assess whether the new material is significant and he will not predict how long it will take to complete "this additional work."

You can bet it will take as long as Clinton needs it to take, given Comey's recent history, when in July he basically said that Clinton's was careless enough to be indicted, but she didn't mean any harm and should be left to run the country, like she ran the State Department.

Comey has come under fierce criticism, as well he should. Lawmakers and a New York  real estate mogul claim the investigation minimized Clinton's handling of classified information.

Trump spoke to a wildly cheering group of supporters in Manchester, N.H. and praised the FBI for having the "courage" to "right the horrible mistake that they made." He said that he hopes that mistake will be "corrected."

"Hillary Clinton's corruption is on a scale we have never seen before," Trump said. "We must not let her take her criminal scheme into the Oval Office."

House Speaker Paul Ryan said of the decision:

"Yet again, Hillary Clinton has nobody but herself to blame. She was entrusted with some of our nation's most important secrets, and she betrayed that trust by carelessly mishandling highly classified information. This decision, long overdue, is the result of her reckless use of a private email server, and her refusal to be forthcoming with federal investigators. I renew my call for the Director of National Intelligence to suspend all classified briefings for Secretary Clinton until this matter is fully resolved."

Former Obama administration spokesman and guy who called Bret Baier "dude" tweeted this demand of the FBI:

How many emails did the FBI find? Get your butt in gear, read them, assess them, form a conclusion. Letting this hang is so irresponsible.

The emails in question are not from WikiLeaks, so it's going to be hard for Hillary's BS hustlers to sluff this one off by blaming Russian hackers.

I can't wait to find out what happens next, but I'm not holding my breath for an indictment. So far, the Clintons have been "judgment-proof."

Happy October!
