Stunning: AP Shows More Decency to Communist Killer Fidel Castro than George H. W. Bush in Death


Stunning: AP Shows More Decency to Communist Killer Fidel Castro than George H. W. Bush in Death

This is a “non-biased” news outlet in America.

The Associated Press showed more decency to a mass-murdering tyrant than to the 41st President of the United States in death.

Here is how the AP described Fidel Castro.
“Fidel Castro, who defied US for 50 years, dies at 90 in Cuba”

And here is what they said about George H. W. Bush.
“George H. W. Bush, a patrician New Englander whose presidency soared with the coalition victory over Iraq in Kuwait, but then plummeted in the throes of a weak economy that led voters to turn him out of office after a single term, has died. He was 94.”

This is why no one trusts the fake mainstream news anymore.

UC Berkeley Student Government Votes To Aid Migrant Caravan, Told Not Doing So Would Be ‘Ignorant And Violent’


The student government at the University of California Berkeley unanimously passed a resolution that allocates $1,500 to the migrant caravan at the U.S.-Mexico border in Tijuana.

According to the resolution, “In Support of Central American Refugees in their Pursuit of Asylum,” the allocated $1,500 will come from commercial revenues and will be distributed to a student organization, Central Americans for Empowerment, which will donate the allocation to the non-profit Freedom for Immigrants to help the caravan.

The resolution also tasked the student government’s Office of the External Affairs Vice President with “phone-banking and lobbying in support of both emergency and comprehensive immigration reform as part of their national advocacy agenda.”

In the resolution, the sponsor and co-sponsors claim that the migrant crisis is the fault of the U.S. government because foreign policy “fueled by corporate greed” has “strategically intervened in Central American politics and warfare; thus strengthening the U.S. economy and further disregarding the livelihood of citizens in these countries.”

“[S]ince 2009 the U.S. government has given Honduras two hundred million dollars in police and military aid intended to help lower the migration rates from Honduras to the United States,” the resolution says. “[D]ue to inadequate intervention on the United States’ behalf, the Honduran government has abused and misused money intended to aid the Honduran people consequently making Honduras one of the most dangerous countries with the highest murder rate in the world.”

A student associated with the Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC) and familiar with the process told The Daily Wire that there “are three different sections for new bills to get sent to,” but typically new bills get classified as “New Business” and get sent to a committee until the next meeting.

“Senator Nick Araujo, rather than putting it into ‘New Business,’ put it into ‘Immediate Consideration,’ and some senators were upset about that because they thought it needed to go to ‘New Business’ before being considered to be passed,” said the student, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “What Araujo was doing was putting it into the agenda to be immediately considered before it would go to the committee or be given to the public. Six senators thought it should go to the committee, and 14 said that it should go to ‘Immediate Consideration.’”

Before voting on the resolution, several students voiced why they support the resolution, but some used harsh rhetoric to pressure their peers into voting for the resolution in the four-hour meeting.

“Y’all are being really f****** ridiculous having us be up here,” one student said. “I now have had to have the same f****** conversation that is being ignored at the federal level. I’m honestly like— I would of thought people who claim to be— like say they’re our representation— I would’ve thought y’all have the audacity to like pass this f****** bill but of course y’all prove time and time again that y’all don’t give a f**** about students of color.”

According to Campus Reform, other students called the debate over allocating money “damn petty,” told their fellow senators to “get your sh**” together, and that voting no would be “ignorant and violent.”

Tijuana is currently spending around $35,000 a day on the caravan according to authorities, The Daily Wire’s Emily Zanotti reported. Additionally, MSNBC reports that many migrants feel misled and claim that they were promised crossing the border would be easy and that they would be eligible for work programs in the United States. Now the Mexican government is reportedly helping migrants return back to Honduras and Guatemala.

FBI raids home of Clinton Foundation whistleblower, seizes docs on possible criminal activity

FBI agents seized documents related to potential criminal activity involving Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and Uranium One from the home of a Department of Justice whistleblower, according to The Daily Caller.
The Daily Caller’s Richard Pollock reported that the raid at the home of Dennis Nathan Cain took place on the morning of Nov. 19. Information about the raid comes from Cain’s lawyer, Michael Socarras.
Socarras expressed outrage over the raid, saying Cain had already legally given the documents to congressional intelligence committees.
"The bureau raided my client to seize what he legally gave Congress about the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One," Socarras told The Daily Caller.
"For the bureau to show up at Mr. Cain’s home suggesting that those same documents are stolen federal property, and then proceed to seize copies of the same documents after being told at the house door that he is a legally protected whistleblower who gave them to Congress, is an outrageous disregard of the law," he said.
What are these documents? According to The Daily Caller, some of the documents detail that federal officials neglected to investigate Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and the Russian company that purchased Uranium One (Rosatom).
Other seized documents allegedly show that Robert Mueller, then the FBI director and now the special counsel investigating the Trump campaign, failed to investigate Rosatom and other Russian companies connected to Uranium One for potential criminal activity.
According to Socarras, Cain had already given those documents to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees by way of the DOJ Inspector General’s office. He allegedly obtained them while working as a contractor for the FBI.
Did the FBI fully disclose what they were doing? Socarras told The Daily Caller that he finds it hard to believe the FBI was clear that they wanted to raid a protected whistleblower’s home when they applied for a search warrant.
"I cannot believe the bureau informed the federal magistrate who approved the search warrant that they wanted to search the home of an FBI whistleblower to seize the information that he confidentially disclosed to the IG and Congress," Socarras said.
The raid, which lasted more than six hours and involved 16 agents, was approved by federal magistrate Stephanie A. Gallagher of the U.S. District Court in Baltimore on Nov. 15.
Socarras said the FBI has not reached out to him since the raid, and actually bypassed him to talk directly to Cain despite knowing who his lawyer was.

Students Sue Rhode Island Over Lack Of Civics Education

Social justice classes would end up cancelled.

Rhode Island is failing to teach civics and prepare students to be “capable citizens,” a federal class-action lawsuit alleges.

The 14 students in the suit say the state provided such a substandard education that it violates their rights under the US Constitution.

“The state defendants have failed to provide the named plaintiffs and tens of thousands of other students in the state of Rhode Island an education that is adequate to prepare them to function productively as civic participants,” says the complaint filed this week.

It’s about civics

The suit says students’ public education should prepare them to vote, sit on a jury, and participate in the political process.

Aleita Cook, 17, a student and one of the plaintiffs, told the New York Times that she has never taken a class in government, civics or economics.

Rhode Island has no civics requirement, no civics teachers training program, and no state testing of civics, attorney Michael Rebell said.

The Rhode Island Department of Education and Gov. Gina Raimondo are among those named in the suit, which is asking for “meaningful educational opportunities adequate to prepare them to be capable voters and jurors.” All of these would enable students to participate in the political system intelligently, says the complaint.

“While I cannot comment on the specifics of pending litigation, I am supportive of efforts to secure more legal protections for student access to a quality education. Education rights are civil rights,” Rhode Island Commissioner Ken Wagner said in a statement.

The state’s Attorney General declined to comment on pending litigation.

CNN has reached out to Raimondo but has not heard back.

Lawyer speaks of ‘heightened importance’

A civics education is particularity important today because many perceive government “is almost non-functional on many levels,” Rebell told CNN. “How are we going to get out of that? We need to give students the skills that are needed.”

The suit says it’s of “heightened importance today” to prepare students to be “capable citizens” who know the importance of democratic institutions.

“In this climate, schools serve a vital function; they remain one of the few places in our highly polarized society where people from diverse political, economic and cultural backgrounds can come together in a setting where rational discussion and understanding of differing views can be prized and rewarded.”

The suit points to a 2014 study of eighth graders in the US by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). That study found that 23% of students had a “proficiency” in civics. Another study mentioned in the suit showed eighth graders didn’t know the historical purpose of the Declaration of Independence.

Trump hints at the scandal about to blow


There is big news ahead, and President Trump teased it yesterday from Argentina via Twitter.  Politics has become a game of narratives, something well understood by both President Trump and his enemies in the media-Democrat establishment.  For more than two years, the professionals of the cultural and media establishment have worked assiduously to create an objectively false narrative, with no evidence whatsoever, that Vladimir Putin actually changed the count of votes to hand Trump the presidency, making his victory illegitimate.  Most Democrats actually believe this now and have in earlier polls as well.


But as I keep reminding our readers, President Trump was the most successful reality television producer in the history of the medium, and he understands a story arc well, as events that can be programmed unfold.  That must be kept in mind in understanding this enigmatic tweet that came from the president half a world away, in Argentina for meetings with the leaders of the 20 biggest economies in the world.

But as I keep reminding our readers, President Trump was the most successful reality television producer in the history of the medium, and he understands a story arc well, as events that can be programmed unfold.  That must be kept in mind in understanding this enigmatic tweet that came from the president half a world away, in Argentina for meetings with the leaders of the 20 biggest economies in the world.



Here is the short (barely over a minute) segment on Hannity last night to which the president referred:



John Solomon has a smile on his face as he reveals that two prosecutors working for John Huber, the Salt Lake City U.S. attorney tasked by then-A.G. Sessions with investigating corruption beyond what the Mueller team is handling, “reached out” to a whistleblower from the Clinton Foundation.




Fox News Channel screen grab via YouTube.


The Clinton Foundation scandal is, as President Trump would say, yuuuuge.  I am told by a knowledgeable source that the official that John Solomon cites “knows where the bodies are buried.”


Of course, the news that another whistleblower who came forward with information and documents on the Uranium One scandal, Dennis Nathan Cain, was raided by a team of FBI agents who spent six hours rummaging through his home raises some alarming possibilities.  Sundance of Conservative Tree House comments:


If the reporting of the raid by the Daily Caller is accurate; and given the nature of the timing for that raid; and accepting the at risk elements within the whistleblower case extended beyond Hillary Clinton to Robert Mueller; and noting how the SSCI was the recipient of the information/evidence as transmitted by Michael Horowitz; there is a solid appearance of the DOJ maneuvering to cover-up the underlying DOJ/FBI corruption by seizing -and controlling- all of the evidence.


[Additionally, in the background are the fingerprints of the self-serving quid-pro-quo between DOJ and SSCI] Just sayin’…


If that apparent cover-up perspective is accurate, then so too is THIS.


A cover-up just seems so implausible, because the activity is just so brutally obvious.


How is this level of blatant disregard possible?  Seriously, I really don’t know.  Perhaps these DOJ and FBI officials are genuinely inside a bubble and don’t know the level of information that exists outside DC…. or, maybe they just feel so above the law they simply don’t care.  I don’t understand it either; but it’s happening – regardless.


The expression “high drama” is inadequate to express the nature of the infighting underway, mostly hidden from the public, but occasionally visible through public events and releases.  The revelations set to come next week may open a new chapter in the story arc of Trump versus the bipartisan establishment.


Correction: The Huber team assistant U.S. attorneys reached out to the whistleblower, not vice versa, as erroneously reported at first.

Mother of teenage MS-13 victim was run over and killed – now we know the stunning motive

In a heart-breaking tragedy that shocked a Long Island community, Evelyn Rodriguez was run over and killed while protecting a memorial to her daughter, who was murdered by the vicious MS-13 gang. Now the stunning motive of the killing has been revealed. A terrible tragedy
Evelyn Rodriguez became a spokeswoman against the horrific crime of the MS-13 gang after they murdered her daughter. But on a horrible day in September, she was run over and killed while protecting the memorial she had set up to her daughter. Many suspected that it was an MS-13 revenge killing, since she was publicly speaking out against the gang, but the real motivation was much more mundane. 58-year-old Annmarie Drago is accused of running over Rodriguez after a fight over the memorial because she believed it was bring down the property values in the neighborhood. Prosecutors say that Drago was trying to sell her mother’s home, and that she tore down the memorial in order to make sure the home sold at the highest price. https://twitter.com/GusoffTV/status/1068555584952299523
When Rodriguez was told about Drago ripping down the balloons and other mementos, she raced to confront her.
After an altercation, prosecutors allege Drago ran down Rodriguez, who died later at a hospital. "She did not want to lose that money from the closing," claimed Rodriguez’ friend, Vanessa Lopez. "So for twenty stupid thousand dollars, Evelyn is dead. This is disgusting!"
Drago faces up to four years in prison if convicted. She was released without bail against the wishes of the Rodriguez family. Evelyn Rodriguez was killed two years to the day after the murder of her daughter, at the exact same place. Here’s the video of the charges against Drago:

Rodriguez was recognized by President Donald Trump at his State of the Union speech. The president made it part of his campaign to root out and prosecute members of the MS-13 gang.

Rick Scott Suspends Controversial Broward County Elections Supervisor Before She Can Resign Early


Florida Governor Rick Scott

BY:

Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R.) on Friday decided to suspend Brenda Snipes, the supervisor of elections for Broward County, Florida, from office due to a series of voting and ballot controversies during the 2018 midterms and previous election cycles.

Scott said in a statement to Politico that he is suspending Snipes, who holds an elected office, because taxpayers should not be burdened by paying her salary after she announced her resignation.

“Every eligible voter in Florida deserves their vote to be counted and should have confidence in Florida’s elections process,” Scott said. “After a series of inexcusable actions, it’s clear that there needs to be an immediate change in Broward County and taxpayers should no longer be burdened by paying a salary for a supervisor of elections who has already announced resignation.”

Scott’s longtime fixer, attorney Pete Antonacci, will replace Snipes.

Scott could have allowed Snipes to stay in her role until she resigns in January, but someone close to the governor said that his decision was “a long time coming” and that she “had it coming to her,” according to Politico.

Snipes began discussing an early retirement date in earnest after Politico first reported she was likely to be suspended from office for incompetence. Democrats said they couldn’t support Snipes any more, either. And some suspect that the flawed ballot she designed in Broward County may have led to so many undervotes that it helped cost Scott’s Democratic opponent, Sen. Bill Nelson, the election.

Over the years, her office has been a hotbed for elections controversies, from appearing to accept unlawful votes, destroying ballots, busting deadlines, and even violating the Sunshine Law concerning open records. The latter controversy brought Snipes into direct conflict with Scott.

After Election Day, Snipes’ office failed to regularly update the state’s system with ballot totals as required by law. Instead, Broward began uploading tens of thousands of votes—sometimes in the middle of the night—leading Scott to hold an extraordinary press conference Nov. 8 and charge, without evidence, that “rampant fraud” could be taking place in the Democratic-heavy counties of Broward and Palm Beach.

Snipes, whose term runs through the 2020 elections, announced earlier this month that she will resign after she was found to have destroyed ballots earlier than allowed in a previous election and regularly lost absentee ballots, among other issues. She became the subject of national scrutiny after several mishaps earlier this month concerning the recount of the Senate race between Nelson, the incumbent, and Scott, who eventually was declared the winner.

“Although I have enjoyed this work tremendously over these many election cycles, both large and small, I am ready to pass the torch,” Snipes wrote in her resignation letter to Scott. “Therefore, I request that you accept my letter of resignation effective January 4, 2019.”

Snipes is expected to take home almost $71,000 a year in pensions for her time in elected office, in addition to $58,560 a year from her previous career as an educator, according to the Sun Sentinel.

Miley Cyrus Music Video: Mooning Police, Strip Club Full of Priests, Children Shooting At Gun Range


Pop chart-topper Miley Cyrus stars in a bizarre new music video that features her driving past kneeling football players, mooning the police, and driving through a gun range full of children shooting.

In the video for the song “Nothing Breaks Like a Heart” by Mark Ronson featuring Miley Cyrus, the star can be seen in a police chase on the highway.

Protesters, including a group of nuns, can be seen demonstrating in support of her.

There was more blasphemy as Cyrus drives into a strip club full of clergymen, and exits by plowing through a brick wall.

Cyrus also flashes her butt, apparently to the police following her.

She continues her trek, driving through a gun range where children are learning to shoot. One fires at Cyrus’ car and barely misses her. It appeared to be a call-back to her support for gun control.

As the former Disney star continues to drive, she pulls past kneeling football players and also gets her car stuck in the middle of what appears to be shoppers fighting over goods. A clear nod to the NFL players who protest during the National Anthem.

To conclude the video, Cyrus wrecks her car in dramatic fashion, and the video cuts to her standing with her arms spread in front of a car turned on its back side. The top camera shot resembles Cyrus hanging from a cross.

It’s unclear what the message of this video is supposed to be, to say the least. Cyrus’ own political views are strongly progressive. She claimed in 2016 that she would leave the United States if Donald Trump won the election, a promise that she did not follow through on, later saying that leaving the country would be “dumb.”

On election night 2016, the “Wrecking Ball” singer posted a video of herself crying, saying that Hillary Clinton still “deserves to be the first female president” and thanking Clinton for “inspiring all of us.”

NPR Busted Spreading Fake News About Donald Trump Jr.


National Public Radio (NPR) made the false claim Friday that Donald Trump Junior’s Senate testimony about a Trump Tower deal in Moscow conflicted with testimony from Michael Cohen — President Trump’s former attorney who is now working with Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

In a fake news article titled, “Cohen’s Account Of Russia Talks Raises Questions About Trump Jr. 2017 Testimony,” the far-left NPR misled its readers with the news that:

Trump Jr. told the Senate Judiciary Committee in September 2017 that although there had been negotiations surrounding a prospective Trump Tower in Moscow, they concluded without result ‘at the end’ of 2014.

‘But not in 2015 or 2016?’ Trump Jr. was asked.

‘Certainly not ’16,’ he said. ‘There was never a definitive end to it. It just died of deal fatigue.’

Trump’s account contrasts with the new version of events given by Cohen on Thursday in a guilty plea in federal court. In that new version, Cohen says the discussions with at least one Russian government official and others in Moscow continued through June 2016, well into Trump’s presidential campaign.

This would be a significant development because it would mean that Trump Jr. had potentially perjured himself to Congress, which is a felony.

The only problem with NPR’s reporting is that none of it is true.

The Federalist, which first caught NPR’s lie, points out that:

In fact, Senate investigators were asking Trump Jr. about a series of efforts to develop property in Russia, going back several years. Reporter Phil Ewing (reporter Tim Mak contributed to the story) conflates one of those efforts with another separate effort. That conflation results in the false news report.

The “certainly not ’16” remark from Trump Jr. pertains to a Trump Tower deal in Moscow involving another party.

The truth is that when asked a direct question about the Trump Tower in Moscow deal that pertains to Cohen’s testimony, Trump Jr. gave a direct answer that in no way contradicts Cohen’s testimony:

Q: It’s been reported that in late 2015 or 2016 when now President Trump was running for office the Trump Organization was pursuing a plan to develop a massive Trump Tower in Moscow. Is that accurate?

A: Yes.

Trump Jr. also offered to provide investigators with the letter of intent signed by his father.

Only after the false story remained published for most of Friday, did NPR finally issue a weasally correction:

An earlier version of this report mischaracterized an answer Donald Trump Jr. gave to Senate investigators in 2017 about the prospective projects his family was negotiating with people in Moscow.

…

Trump Jr. did not address what Cohen has now admitted — that talks about such a deal continued at least into June 2016, longer than previously known and well into the presidential campaign.

After NPR issued its grudging correction, Trump Jr. blasted NPR by comparing them to the left-wing CNN, which “has the market cornered” on fake news.

Deplorable: Bill and Hillary Clinton tour stop sells just 3,300 tickets in 19,000-seat arena

The turnout, to borrow an infamous term, was deplorable.
Former President Bill Clinton and former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton opened the Canadian leg of their speaking tour — "An Evening With The Clintons" — in Toronto on Tuesday. But not a lot of folks showed up.
The Clintons sold about 3,330 tickets at the Scotiabank Arena, which can seat about 19,000, Narcity reported.


In fact, StubHub boasted that last-minute tickets were going for just $4.90 in U.S. dollars, the outlet said. The shindig’s priciest ticket was $434 on Ticketmaster, Narcity added, while VIP meet-and-greet passes were around $2,000 each.
According to the Daily Mail, event organizers blocked off the upper deck of seats in the arena, and there were plenty of tickets available 30 minutes before showtime.
Officials told the Daily Mail that about 1,000 of the purchased seats were on the floor and close to the stage. It appeared from images posted online that a curtain was used to close off a large portion of the rear of the arena.
