Ex-Hillary Clinton Advisor Claims “Jill Stein is a Russian Agent” After Senate Launches Probe Into Green Party Nominee

Ex-Hillary Clinton Advisor Claims “Jill Stein is a Russian Agent” After Senate Launches Probe Into Green Party Nominee

December 18, 2017

Just when you thought ‘RussiaGate,’ couldn’t be more of a distraction from the real issues plaguing everyday Americans, a new probe is launched to make matters worse. Former presidential candidate, Green Party head Jill Stein, is now being probe by Senate investigators. 

BuzzFeed reports:

The top congressional committee investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election has set its sights on the Green Party and its nominee, Jill Stein, according to a former campaign employee.

Dennis Trainor Jr., who worked for the Stein campaign from January to August of 2015, says Stein contacted him on Friday saying the Senate Intelligence Committee had requested that the campaign comply with a document search.

Trainor, who served as the campaign’s communications director and acting manager during that time, told BuzzFeed News that he was informed of the committee’s request because during his time on the campaign, his personal cell phone was “a primary point of contact” for those looking to reach Stein or the campaign. That included producers from RT News, the Russian state-funded media company, who booked Stein for several appearances, Trainor said.

“Then I was told by Jill just to wait for further instructions,” Trainor told BuzzFeed.

Zac Petkanas, a former communications advisor to Hillary Clinton‘s failed presidential campaign in 2016, tweeted “Jill Stein is a Russian agent,” eight times in a row after BuzzFeed published its scoop.

In July, Petkanas called for investigators to “Root out Russian collaborators,” amid reports Stein had been “looped into widening investigation of Russia and Trump Jr. connections.”

The length to which Hillary Clinton and her team will go to shift blame onto others for President Trump’s victory last November is stunning. Adam Parkhomenko, a long time aide to Hillary Clinton, took to Twitter back in September to rant about how great his boss’s presidential campaign was in 2016, while taking shots at her primary opponent Bernie Sanders.

In the middle of Parkomenko’s thread, the Clinton aide insinuates something quite explosive — Bernie Sanders may have colluded with Russia in the Democratic primary.

“PS…you seem to ignore the Russia support online for Bernie during the primaries. The guy is hiding something. Not sure I want to know what,” the aide tweeted.

Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves.

But 20 years after the Marxist takeover the children and babies are starving in Socialist Venezuela.


Another baby is buried after in Venezuela.

Socialism sucks the life out of human beings.

And in Venezuela it’s sucking the life out of children.

WOW! FBI Is Abusing ‘Secrecy Powers,’ Mueller & Rosenstein Hid ‘Explosive Information From Congress For Months’

WOW! FBI Is Abusing ‘Secrecy Powers,’ Mueller & Rosenstein Hid ‘Explosive Information From Congress For Months’

December 18, 2017
by Joshua Caplan

With each passing day, it’s becoming clear there is more evidence to suggest both former President Barack Obama and failed candidate Hillary Clinton colluded with Russia than President Donald Trump. Yet, that hasn’t stopped both chambers of Congress and special counsel Robert Mueller from investigating ‘RussiaGate.’

In fact, FBI agent Peter Strzok’s text messages strongly suggest there was a concerted effort to not only excoriate Clinton of any wrong doing in her email probe, but remove President Trump from the White House. This is not merely the opinion of one reporter at The Gateway Pundit, but a view held by the lies of former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova.

Video credit: Tucker Carlson Tonight:

“It’s very clear that they conspired to frame the incoming President of the United States,” diGenova told Carlson last Friday.

If it was up to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Mueller, Strzok’s anti-Trump text messages would have never seen the light of day. Wall Street Journal‘s Kimberley Strassel writes that not only is the FBI abusing secrecy powers, but led an effort to hide key information from Congress for months.

Strassel writes in the Wall Street Journal (via Townhall):

…the FBI has plenty of things it needs to keep secret regarding national security and law enforcement. Let’s even acknowledge the bureau may be rightly concerned about turning some information over to today’s leak-prone Congress. Even so, in the specific case of its 2016 election behavior, the FBI is misusing its secrecy powers to withhold information whose disclosure is in the public interest. […]

But when did the FBI dig up and turn over that very first tranche? How long has the bureau known one of its lead investigators was exhibiting such bias? Was it before Mr. Mueller was even appointed? Did FBI leaders sit by as the special counsel tapped Mr. Strzok? In any case, we know from the letter that the inspector general informed both Messrs. [Deputy AG Rod] Rosenstein and Mueller of the texts on July 27, and that both men hid that explosive information from Congress for four months. The Justice Department, pleading secrecy, defied subpoenas that would have produced the texts. It refused to make Mr. Strzok available for an interview. It didn’t do all this out of fear of hurting national security, obviously. It did it to save itself and the FBI from embarrassment.

Strassel’s searing piece follows Rosenstein’s testy hearing before the House Judiciary Committee last Wednesday, where among other things, the Justice Department official refused to answer if the FBI funded the now discredited ‘Trump dossier.’

Boom! Charles Payne DESTROYS Whiny #NeverTrumper Ashley Pratte in Stunning Takedown (VIDEO)

Boom! Charles Payne DESTROYS Whiny #NeverTrumper Ashley Pratte in Stunning Takedown (VIDEO)

December 18, 2017
by Jim Hoft

This will make your day–
FBN’s Charles Payne and his conservative panelists BLASTED USA Today #NeverTrumper Ashley Pratte today during a segment on President Trump’s remarkable and historic first year in office.

Pratte, a #NeverTrumper, believes Trump is an awful president because he says mean things and tweets a lot. She likes Republicans who lay down and wet all over themselves when they are confronted by Democrats or their liberal media.

After Pratte’s annoying complaining Charles Payne let loose,

“Here’s the thing though Ashley. I understand where some of the people say some of these tweets rub me the wrong way but to have a tweet erase the crushing the defeat of ISIS. To have a tweet erase three quarters in a row of 3% GDP growth. To have a tweet to erase in February people are going to keep more of their money than they earn that seems very superficial.”

Denenn Borelli added backup,

“I do think it’s time for the naysayers to pick a team. Are you going to support President Trump, his America First agenda and the forgotten men and women? Or are you going to support the Deep State which has its own agenda working against Americans. It’s time to pick a team!”

Charles Payne was on his A-game.

It’s Official: Trump Now Has Greatest Stock Market Rally in History! Dow Breaks 70th New All-Time High in ’17 – Most Ever in One Year!

It’s Official: Trump Now Has Greatest Stock Market Rally in History! Dow Breaks 70th New All-Time High in ’17 – Most Ever in One Year!

December 18, 2017
by Jim Hoft

Guest post by Joe Hoft

The Dow ended up again today at another all-time high for the 70th time this year – breaking the record for the most all-time highs in a calendar year set in 1995.

At the bell the Dow closed at its highest closing amount ever at 24,792. Since last year’s election the Dow is up over 35%!

* The Dow has increased more that 6,400 points since the November 8th election a year ago when the Dow closed at 18,333. This is the largest point increase in this amount of time in Dow history. This has never happened in the more than 100 years in the Dow.

* The Dow has increased more in 2017 than any year ever in Dow history! The Dow ended 2016 at 19,763 and has increased by more than 5,000 points through today. This is the most ever by more than 44% over the next best year ever! (In 2013 the Dow was up 3,472 points.)

* Since the election the Dow has surpassed 6 major milestones – 19,000, 20,000, 21,000, 22,000, 23,000 and 24,000.

* President Trump’s stock market rally is historical! No President has seen more all time highs (70) in their first year in office than President Trump. No one has seen more all-time highs in a year ever.

* President Trump set the record earlier this year for the most all time closing stock market highs during his first year in office. Currently the Dow has set 87 closing highs since last year’s election and 70 since President Trump’s inauguration. (As a comparison, President Obama had no stock market highs his entire first term.)

* More than one in four days since the election has ended in a new stock market high.

* The Dow closed above 20,000 on January 25th and the March 1st rally matched the fastest-ever 1,000 point increase in the Dow at 24 days that the markets were open or 35 actual days.

* The Dow took just 66 market open days to climb from 19,000 to above 21,000, the fastest 2,000 point run ever. The Dow closed above 19,000 for the first time on November 22nd 2016 and closed above 21,000 on March 1st 2017. The previous record was in 2007 when the Dow took nearly three times as long to cover 2,000 points.

* The Dow took just 173 days to surpass the 3,000 point milestone between November 22, 2016 when the Dow surpassed 19,000 and August 2nd, 2017 when the DOW surpassed 22,000. The prior record was in 1999 when the Dow took more than four times as long to reach these heights.

* The Dow surpassed the 23,000 mark on October 18th. This increase of 4,000 points in all time highs in this amount of time is unheard of in US history!

* On November 30th the Dow broke the 24,000 barrier for the first time ever!

* Since President Trump’s Inauguration on January 20th the Dow is up 24%. (It was at 19,827 at January 20th.)

* President Trump is the only President in US history to oversee two stock market rallies of nine days or more where the markets set new highs each and every day.

* On February 28th President Trump matched President Reagan’s 1987 record for most continuous closing high trading days when the Dow reached a new high for its 12th day in a row!
* Then in early August President Trump reigned over a 9 day stock market rally with each day reaching record highs.

* The S&P 500 and the NASDAQ have both set new all-time highs during this period.
* The US Stock Market has gained more than $5 trillion in wealth since Trump was elected!
* Virtually every major stock index is in record territory.

Winning, Winning, Winning, All-Time Best Record Setting!

Antifa making the jump to attacking pipelines?

The problem with a group like Antifa, which we saw at far too many protests this year, is that their perceived “success” in attacking those with different views was bound to inspire others to copy their tactics. If it worked so well for the social justice warriors, allowing them to “keep their hands clean” by disavowing the violence of their more sinister partners, why not the climate justice warriors? They’re certainly busy trying to stop the construction of pipelines and other signs of industrial progress. Surely they could use a little “muscle” to call on, right? That seems to be what we’re seeing with a new group going by the moniker It’s Going Down.

Kevin Mooney at the Washington Examiner reports that the group targeted the home of one Virginia Water Control Board official after approval was given for two natural gas pipelines which are being built along the east coast.

[G]reen groups are doubling down with tactics meant to bully and cajole public officials into delaying the pipelines.

That much is made apparent by what appears to be an environmentalist version of Antifa working within the framework of a self-described “digital community center for anarchist, anti-fascist, autonomous anti-capitalist and anti-colonial movements” known as It’s Going Down. Like Antifa, which is short for anti-fascist, It’s Going Down is a loosely configured network of activists opposed to capitalism.

The group recently posted an online article, which it says it received anonymously, about activists who intruded on the private property of an official with the Virginia Water Control Board and draped a banner from her front porch that read “Stop Poisoning Our Community” and “No ACP” and “No MVP,” in reference to the pipelines that will run through Virginia. Since the board has already given its approval to the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, the activism is concentrated against the Mountain Valley Pipeline, the anonymous post explains.

It should be at least somewhat convenient for authorities to begin tracking these folks since they were nice enough to put up their own website. On it, they recently put the world on notice, instructing them that if they lose the battle in courts they will take whatever steps are required to stop pipeline construction. Saying that they would first exhaust all legal means, they reserved the right to, “resort to sabotage and we will defeat this symbol of domination, exploitation, globalized capital, earth pillage, and outright assholery.”

I found something even more hauntingly familiar when the group’s missive made reference to, “human, animal and earth liberation.” Do you all recall the destruction brought about by the Earth Liberation Front beginning in the early 90s? Loggers actually died from the spike traps they set in forests and their violence didn’t stop there. They were akin to the Animal Liberation Front, but far more ready to throw down and risk, if not take human life. The It’s Going Down crowd is already sounding like they would like to follow a similar path. Note this disclaimer they include on their website which isn’t really much of a disclaimer at all. (Emphasis added)

We do not condone or promote illegal, violent, and unlawful behavior or actions, or acts of intimidation against individuals or groups. … We do not plan or organize protests or demonstrations. We signal boost what people are already organizing in their locality. We do not advocate or promote violence or non-violence. Movements for liberation decide for themselves on the best strategy to get and stay free is.

They start out by claiming they don’t “condone… illegal, violent and unlawful behavior.” But they don’t manage to make it three more sentences before saying that they do not advocate violence or non-violence. If you don’t advocate non-violence and want everyone to decide for themselves, aren’t you condoning violence at a minimum?

Recall what Jill Stein and her followers got up to along the path of the Dakota Access Pipeline. They engaged in plenty of vandalism, graffiti and even a few acts of arson. That caused some damage to be sure, but it was mostly kids’ stuff. Now picture a target that large in a remote area and a group with the numbers, the resources and the willingness to engage in violence and destruction on the scale of Antifa. I don’t think I need to fill in the rest for you.

The election is over, but the battle continues. If these disparate groups begin linking up and fielding some dedicated terrorists on the domestic front we could be in for a long winter.

Report: Fed Agency Committed ‘Militaristic’ Operation Against Cliven Bundy, Withheld Exculpatory Evidence

One of the few protests where the stand-down order wasn’t given.

Via Daily Caller:

An investigation into the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) handling of the 2014 Nevada standoff with rancher Cliven Bundy revealed “incredible bias,” widespread misconduct and likely illegal actions by the BLM.

Prosecutors shared the report with the Bundys’ defense attorneys, prompting a petition to Judge Gloria Navarro for a mistrial, or for the case to be dismissed altogether, The Oregonian reports. Navarro’s judgement is expected to come down Wednesday.

“It’s time for our men to go home and start making a living for their families,” Carol Bundy, Cliven Bundy’s wife, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “We’re two years behind. We’ve got a lot of catching up to do.”

The investigation’s report, made by BLM Special Agent Larry Wooten and addressed to the Department of Justice, was publicized last week after Washington state Rep. Matt Shea posted it on his Facebook page, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Wooten’s 18-page report discussed some of what he witnessed during his three-year investigation, such as a BLM agent’s “kill list” featuring people who had committed suicide while under investigation by the agency, BLM agents and officials referring to the Bundys as “retards” and “douche bags,” agents bragging about “grinding” a Bundy family member’s face into gravel, and lead prosecutor and Nevada’s acting U.S. Attorney Steve Myhre’s “preferred ignorance” of investigation details that would benefit the Bundys’ defense case.

Former Special Agent Dan Love, who was in charge of impounding Cliven Bundy’s cattle in 2014, conducted “the most intrusive, oppressive, large scale and militaristic trespass cattle impound possible” against Bundy’s ranch against the direction of the U.S. attorney’s office, according to Wooten. The Bundys’ defense strategy accuses the BLM of using overly-aggressive and threatening tactics.

Donald Trump Shakes Up Military With Special Announcement About Marine One Chopper

President Donald Trump has shown time again how much he appreciates the men and women serving in the United States military, and a speech he gave to Marines last week was no different.

Trump delivered the message of gratitude Friday to the Marines of Helicopter Squadron One, the group that flies and maintains the presidential helicopter, Marine One, while on a visit to the Marine Corps Air Facility in Quantico, Virginia.

“(F)or more than half a century, Marine Helicopter Squadron One has served as one of the most visible symbols of the presidency. Today, there are few sights more awe-inspiring than Marine One flying up the Potomac — true, incredible — past the Washington Monument and landing on the South Lawn of the White House,” he said, according to the White House.

“It’s an incredible privilege to take that flight,” he noted.

That kind of statement from the president, coming after the eight years of the Obama presidency, and a commander in chief who too often showed too little respect for the men and women in uniform under his command, had to shake up the military — and in the best way possible.

Trump spoke at length about how much he appreciate the Marines who have cared for him and his family since he took office.

“A Marine is often the last person I see when leaving the White House and the first upon my return. Nothing is more reassuring,” he said. “And my pledge to you is that I will have your back just as you will always — and have always — had mine.”

The president also announced that he had recently signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act, which authorized major investments in weapon systems, equipment, and “most importantly,” he said, in the servicemen and women themselves.

“I’m pleased to report this legislation also includes the largest pay raise you have received in more than eight years,” Trump told the group.

He also commended them for their role in fulfilling his campaign promise to “make America great again.”

“(W)e’re making America great again,” he said. “And it’s people like yourselves that are doing it. I am so impressed.”

He later tweeted about his visit, thanking the group for their “sacrifice and service” on behalf of the entire nation.

“I am honored to serve as your Commander-in-Chief,” he wrote.

The squadron felt a similar respect for the president, as they honored him with a hat from their group, which Trump said he would be “proud” to wear.

It’s great to see such mutual respect between the president and the brave men and women who protect him and our country. We’re glad to have a leader in the White House who is not afraid to let the military know how much they are appreciated.

Trump Bleeds Blue in Touching Tribute to Cops Across America

President Donald Trump recently addressed law enforcement graduates at the FBI National Academy graduation in Quantico, Virginia, praising their efforts and lauding them as heroes.

During his heartfelt speech, he commented on the violent targeting of police officers that has been taking place since the Obama administration, saying that any time an officer is killed, it “fills our hearts with pain and with grief.”

“Every drop of blood spilled from our men and women in blue is a wound inflicted on our nation,” the president said. “And when a brother or sister in uniform is hurt, on that day, all of America bleeds blue.”

“I want to send a message today to those who threaten violence against our police: We will protect those who protect us, and we believe criminals who kill police officers should get the death penalty,” Trump said, according to the White House.

The ceremony was held in honor of state, local and international law enforcement officers who had successfully completed the FBI’s National Academy — a rigorous program providing training in intelligence theory, terrorism and terrorist mindsets, management science, law, behavioral science, law enforcement communication, and forensic science, according to the program’s website.

“I am here not only to congratulate you, but to honor you for your courage and for your devotion,” Trump told the graduates. “And I want you to know that with me as your president, America’s police will have a true friend and loyal champion in the White House — more loyal than anyone else can be, I tell you.”

The president also addressed the families of the cops, thanking them for their “tremendous sacrifices.”

“American families can sleep soundly at night because of the burden that you carry for all of us,” he said. “So on behalf of all Americans, to every law enforcement family here today, and all across the nation: Thank you, thank you, thank you very much.”

He then pointed out why police officers are such special figures in American society, doing their job diligently, not for recognition, but because it needs to be done.

“It’s not a news story when our officers save a life, rescue a family, or stop a crime,” Trump said. “It’s just another day on the job. Yet, no matter the circumstances, you serve tirelessly, selflessly, and heroically. You do it because you really believe in doing your duty and doing it properly.

“Being a police officer is not just a career, it’s a calling,” he continued.

He asked that each graduate return home to their precincts and tell their fellow cops that the president has their backs “100 percent.”

“You represent the best of America,” Trump concluded. “And you leave us with a debt we can never hope to repay.”

The president’s touching words were completely accurate, not to mention indicative of how much he truly loves our nation’s heroes and supports their efforts.

We’re proud to have a commander in chief willing to stand up for them and give them something to cheer about, again.
