Obama’s Campaign Paid $972,000 To Law Firm That Secretly Paid Fusion GPS In 2016

Was Obama involved in the dossier as well? That would explain the cover-up?

Via The Federalist:

Former president Barack Obama’s official campaign organization has directed nearly a million dollars to the same law firm that funneled money to Fusion GPS, the firm behind the infamous Steele dossier. Since April of 2016, Obama For America (OFA) has paid over $972,000 to Perkins Coie, records filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show.

The Washington Post reported last week that Perkins Coie, an international law firm, was directed by both the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clinton’s campaign to retain Fusion GPS in April of 2016 to dig up dirt on then-candidate Donald Trump. Fusion GPS then hired Christopher Steele, a former British spy, to compile a dossier of allegations that Trump and his campaign actively colluded with the Russian government during the 2016 election. Though many of the claims in the dossier have been directly refuted, none of the dossier’s allegations of collusion have been independently verified. Lawyers for Steele admitted in court filings last April that his work was not verified and was never meant to be made public.

OFA, Obama’s official campaign arm in 2016, paid nearly $800,000 to Perkins Coie in 2016 alone, according to FEC records. The first 2016 payments to Perkins Coie, classified only as “Legal Services,” were made April 25-26, 2016, and totaled $98,047. A second batch of payments, also classified as “Legal Services,” were disbursed to the law firm on September 29, 2016, and totaled exactly $700,000. Payments from OFA to Perkins Coie in 2017 totaled $174,725 through August 22, 2017.

FEC records as well as federal court records show that Marc Elias, the Perkins Coie lawyer whom the Washington Post reported was responsible for the payments to Fusion GPS on behalf of Clinton’s campaign and the DNC, also previously served as a counsel for OFA. In Shamblin v. Obama for America, a 2013 case in federal court in Florida, federal court records list Elias as simultaneously serving as lead attorney for both OFA and the DNC.

President Donald Trump Tweets Clinton/Russia Ties Should Be Investigated

President Donald Trump Tweets Clinton/Russia Ties Should Be Investigated

29 Oct, 2017
29 Oct, 2017

President Donald Trump’s tweeted on Sunday about the lack of investigation into Hillary Clinton and her ties to a number of scandals.

Trump tweeted:

Never seen such Republican ANGER & UNITY as I have concerning the lack of investigation on Clinton made Fake Dossier (now $12,000,000?),….

…the Uranium to Russia deal, the 33,000 plus deleted Emails, the Comey fix and so much more. Instead they look at phony Trump/Russia ….

… ‘collusion,’ which doesn’t exist. The Dems are using this terrible (and bad for our country) Witch Hunt for evil politics, but the R’s …

… are now fighting back like never before. There is so much GUILT by Democrats/Clinton, and now the facts are pouring out. DO SOMETHING!

Trump also expressed his frustration that the latest Russian scandal could distract from the task of tackling tax reform.

“All of this ‘Russia’ talk right when the Republicans are making their big push for historic Tax Cuts & Reform. Is this coincidental? NOT!” Trump tweeted.

Any lawyer who takes this case is simply wasting Roger’s time and money.

Via The Wrap:

“I have retained one of the best telecommunications lawyers in the country and will be bringing a legal action against Twitter over the suspension of my account,” he told TheWrap. “The battle for free speech has just begun.”

Stone would not publicly name the attorney until he signed a retainer agreement, which he said he expected to do Monday.

Michael Moore Melts Down Into Glob of Goo After Trump Mocks Broadway Show

Liberal propagandist Michael Moore, an aging whacko who increasingly resembles ten pounds of shit crammed into a one-pound bag went into meltdown mode after a tweet by President Trump mocked his Broadway bomb.

The morbidly obese Moore has seen his star dim considerably over the last several months after his mobs of useful idiot slackers returned to form and stopped turning out to organized protests against Trump and then his overblown one-man play failed to live up to expectations.

You have to give it to the POTUS in that he sure knows how to needle these whining hypocritical leftists and that he did with a Twitter missive on Sunday morning:

The hypersensitive fat man didn’t take kindly to Trump’s mocking of his widely panned one-man show “The Terms of My Surrender” which was just reported to have been a mega-bomb. The play was just Moore regurgitating the same tired attacks on Trump but it was loved by all of the Hollywood liberals who made their pilgrimage to Mecca to be seen with the New York cultural elite and participate in the director’s stupid liberal tricks.

Trump clearly struck a nerve given the response from the snorting porker who went on an Olbermanesque Twitter diatribe defending his shitty show.

But despite Moore’s plaintive wailings, the show was the recipient of bad reviews including from such anti-Trump publications as the Washington Post and New York Times and failed to meet expectations in terms of ticket revenue. In short, it was a stinkeroo, much like Moore’s films have become as his profiteering off of attacking the capitalist system that made him a multimillionaire with ten houses have been.

Way back in the day and despite his liberalism, Moore actually did relevant work but as a man who has always resembled the fat out of a can of pork and beans became assimilated with the Democratic party, the product became as insufferable as the director.

Trump’s tweet clearly hit Moore where it hurts and he will forever be haunted by it while Trump gets over on the buffoons on the left again.

Liberals Celebrate Shooting Anniversaries, But Here Are 10 Dates They’d Rather Forget

Liberals hate anniversaries of positive things like the founding of our country or our victories in WWII. They do however love grim anniversaries when they can use it to push their agenda. This is especially true with gun control. In December they will say it’s been 5 years since the Sandy Hook shooting, followed immediately by a complaint that nothing has been done to further restrict our Constitutional gun ownership rights. It’s been a month since the Las Vegas shooting and wouldn’t you know it, they are at it again bitching that there has been no action on the gun control front.

The Huffington Post ran this story today: It’s Been One Month Since The Las Vegas Shooting And Bump Stocks Are Still Legal

Of course they fail to mention that it’s been 7 years since the Obama administration approved the sale of bump stocks and still no liberal will acknowledge that fact.

In honor of this narrative-driven bullshit, I thought I’d put out 10 anniversaries liberals don’t want to celebrate so much:

10. October 29, 2017: It’s been 1 day since Planned Parenthood killed 887 unborn children and the country’s biggest abortion provider is still funded by our tax dollars.

9. October 5, 2017: It’s been 3 weeks and 3 days since the NYT broke the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal and liberal Hollywood still blames Donald Trump for the sleaziness of their industry.

8. November 8, 2016: It’s been almost one year since Donald Trump won the presidency and Hillary Clinton still can’t accept the results of the election.

7. December 2, 2015: It’s been almost 2 years since Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik killed 14 people in San Bernardino, CA and we still have no way of keeping radical Islamic terrorists out of our country.

6. May 24, 2006: It’s been 11 years since Al Gore said the polar ice caps would melt away and they are still as frozen as ever.

5. December 19, 1998: It’s been almost 19 years since Bill Clinton was impeached on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice and liberals still think it’s because he got a blow job.

4. January 8, 1964: It’s been 53 years since LBJ declared war on poverty and democrats are still throwing money at failed social programs that only perpetuate the cycle of poverty.

3. December 5, 1933: It’s been 84 years since this miserable failure of prohibition was repealed and democrats still think government bans are effective.

2. January 1, 1863: It’s been 154 years since Republican Abraham Lincoln took the democrats’ slaves away and liberals still insist the GOP is the party of racism.

1. December 15, 1791: It’s been almost 226 years since our Founding Fathers protected our right to keep and bear arms and liberals still refuse to acknowledge that fact.

Mark your calendars because several of these anniversaries are coming soon.

Bernie Sanders Proclaims There Is No Freedom Without Socialism

Independent Senator Bernie Sanders is a socialist and a progressive liberal. Either way he has that thing where words mean what he says they do rather than what their actual definitions are. The word he wants to butcher today is freedom. According to him, Americans are not truly free unless they are crushed under the non-voluntary burden of socialism. You know, because freedom means the government telling you what to do and taking all of your money.

Here’s a real tweet from the socialist kook:

“Are you truly free if you work 100 hours a week because you can’t find a job with a living wage? Are you free if you have no health care?” sanders wrote.

You would be free if you worked 100 hours a week and the government didn’t take half of your earnings, but that ain’t the case. You would be free if you got to chose whether or not you had health care coverage, but that also isn’t how things work thanks to the democrats. You see, people have to pay a crazy amount of taxes to fund the freeloaders and the ACA forces them to buy health insurance with super-high premiums, also to pay for mooches and losers.

Looking at this another way, let’s take a pop quiz:

Q: Which of these two things more represents freedom:

A) Being able to work as much as you want and being able to to choose if you want to buy a product from a private company.

B) Having no choice in surrendering half your pay and being forced under penalty of law to buy a product from a private company.

And because this is a quiz for liberals, let’s add another option:

C) F*ck you, Nazi!

If you chose B or C you just might be a liberal.

Sanders also indicates that working 100 hours a week is not enough to live on, so let’s explore that bullshit as well. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. According to federal law, any person working over 40 hours a week is entitled to time and half for each additional hour. Going by this, a person making minimum wage and working 100 hours a week would make $290 in base pay and $652.50 in overtime. That’s $942.50 a week or $49,000 a year. That’s sounds like a pretty decent yearly income to me.

The problem is, since the government is going to take a huge chunk of that money, it then becomes not so much a livable income. It gets worse because a person making that much money year is not eligible for government subsidies and is forced to but an expensive and shitty health insurance plan, which drains the money even more.

I wouldn’t expect Bernie Sanders to understand this kind of financial reality, he’s a rich asshole with 3 mansions. He thinks letting people keep more of the money they earn is stealing from the federal government and the poor. He believes that taking people’s money to pay for bloated federal programs is “free stuff” for everyone.

Bernie is under investigation for bank fraud so maybe he’s not the right guy to talk about how money works. He’s also proud of being a socialist so he’s definitely the wrong guy to talk about freedom.

German Migrant Agency Fails To Send ‘Refugees’ Back, Even When Home Nations Are Safe

Job security.

Via Breitbart:

The German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) has been accused of treating refugee status as a path to immigration as they rarely ever check to see if approved refugees’ homelands are safe for them to return to.

BAMF is required to examine the details of every approved refugee case in Germany after three years of the approval date to determine if there is still a danger in the individuals home country. If the agency does not check the status by the third year the individuals are given permanent residency Die Welt reports.

So far this year BAMF has revoked the refugee status of only 206 individuals despite there being 107,000 potential cases for them to review over the same period.

Only 1,552 migrants with refugee status were actually examined this year to see if their status as refugees was still applicable.

The number of revocations of refugee status has gone down in recent years with last year seeing only 240 cases. BAMF has blamed the 2015 migrant crisis which has greatly stretched the resources of the agency.

George Washington Memorial Coming Down at Church He Attended

In a sad sigh of these troubled times that we live in, a memorial to the father of the country has been marked for removal.

The war on statues was never solely about those “racist” Confederate monuments but had a much broader objective of the erasure of most if not ALL of the white leadership figures in the history of this once great nation.

So say goodbye to George Washington.

Via The Hill “George Washington’s Virginia church taking down his memorial”:

A church attended by George Washington will take down a memorial to the nation’s first president, a move church leaders say is intended to make the place of worship more welcoming.

The Washington Times reported Friday that Christ Church in Alexandria, Va., will remove memorials of Washington and former Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, which stand on either side of the church’s altar.

“The plaques in our sanctuary make some in our presence feel unsafe or unwelcome,” church leaders said. “Some visitors and guests who worship with us choose not to return because they receive an unintended message from the prominent presence of the plaques.”

Washington began attending the church soon after it opened in 1773, and bought a pew there. He attended for more than 20 years, though he appeared more regularly at Pohick Church, southwest of his estate at Mount Vernon.

Christ Church’s decision to remove the statues comes amid a national debate over whether Confederate statues and monuments should be taken down. That debate resurfaced in August after a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., turned violent.

That the church is also removing a memorial to Robert E. Lee is irrelevant.

The liberal Taliban has already fulfilled the warning of President Donald Trump that the cultural jihad won’t end with the banishment of Civil War monuments.

They are only getting started. It won’t be long until one dollar bills and quarters are considered to be racist as well.
