President Trump’s team has been stymied and unable to respond to Democrat claims and corruption in court. They were unable to respond to Mueller’s Russia Hoax and now the Dem’s Ukrainian Hoax. Finally the Trump team has opportunity on the Senate Floor to make its case and FOX News cuts to Juan Williams and the Five. The rest of the media won’t show it either.

Leading GOP lawmakers are threatening to scale back the level of intelligence sharing with the United Kingdom over its willingness to allow Chinese state-controlled telecom Huawei to take over the country’s mobile networks.
U.K. leaders are set to decide in the next day if they will permit Huawei, a Chinese telecom the United States views as spying on the communist regime’s behalf, to build Britain’s next-generation 5G mobile networks.
That decision has sparked a push by leading GOP lawmakers to enact legislation that would massively diminish the United States’s intelligence sharing partnership with Britain if Huawei is granted access to the European ally’s sensitive infrastructure.
The lawmakers say they are prepared to completely reassess the U.S.-U.K. intelligence partnership, which ranks among the closest in the globe. A U.K. deal with Huawei, the lawmakers said, is likely to throw a wrench in any post-Brexit trade deals with America.
The first salvo in this developing rift is a piece of legislation currently circulated in Congress that would "prohibit the sharing of United States intelligence with countries that permit operation of Huawei fifth-generation telecommunications technology within their borders," according to a copy of the bill viewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
In addition to cutting off direct intelligence sharing with any Huawei partner, the legislation would ban the sharing of intelligence products developed by the United States.
"We have to recalculate or reassess if they can continue to be among the closest of our intelligence partners," Rep. Liz Cheney (R., Wyo.) said of the U.S.-U.K. intelligence partnership during a briefing Monday with a small group of reporters. "We have no choice. It’s our own security at risk."
Cheney, along with Reps. Jim Banks (R., Ind.) and Mike Gallagher (R., Wis.), warned Britain there would be severe repercussions for any decision that enables Huawei to build the country’s 5G networks.
"This intelligence sharing relationship is the closest in the world," Gallagher said. "I do worry this is not only going to compromise that close intelligence relationship but complicate" efforts to reach post-Brexit trade deals.
A partnership with Huawei would "fundamentally" alter "the relationship we have with the U.K.," Cheney added.
While the Trump administration, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, has warned global partners against using Huawei, there has been disagreement within the administration that lawmakers have viewed as unhelpful.
Administration officials have been unclear about presenting possible alternatives to Huawei. While there is a consensus that Huawei poses a security risk to the United States and its allies, the Defense and Treasury Departments recently bucked more vocal administration opponents of the cell carrier when they struck down a set of rules restricting American sales to the telecom. President Trump in May issued an executive order banning U.S. companies from using communications technology from foreign companies deemed a national security threat, a ban largely seen as aimed at Huawei.
"The president has always had good instincts on Huawei," Banks said. "Those around him at times have had an inconsistent or incoherent approach to 5G that isn’t always helpful."
"The Huawei discussion and skepticism of Huawei and Chinese intentions with selling Huawei around the globe is as hot of a topic on Capitol Hill as it’s ever been," Banks added.
Huawei has positioned itself as a global leader in the 5G push. However, its cheaper pricing and other incentives are a ruse for the mass siphoning of sensitive data, the lawmakers alleged, saying that China could use this information to later blackmail leading governments.
"Imagine the damage they will do, the threats and blackmail that will become possible once they’re in your system," Cheney said, describing the willingness of some major U.S. allies to partner with Huawei as "dangerous and shortsighted."
"They don’t want the data because they’re kind-hearted and want to help everyone move quickly," Cheney said. "This isn’t an altruistic effort the Chinese are engaged in."
The lawmakers said they have received bipartisan support for legislation banning intelligence sharing with Huawei partners.
The United Kingdom has yet to formally announce its decision on Huawei. It is possible that it could selectively partner with the company while banning it from accessing sensitive areas of the country’s mobile networks.
On Friday, GOP Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced new academic standards for the state, shoving out the Common Core standards that had been implemented in the state in 2010, just one year after he started pushing for jettisoning those standards.
DeSantis stated, “Today we’re announcing that mission has been accomplished. It goes beyond Common Core to embrace common sense.” He added, “We need to measure results… but you need to do that in a way that makes sense.”
As TampaBay.com reported, “The new standards will be called the BEST Standards, which stands for the Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking. Although the standards themselves were not made publicly available on Friday — DeSantis promised they would be online in a week — the Florida Department of Education released summary documents that outline some of the major changes ahead.”
Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran said on Friday, “When you’re trying to remember what’s four times four, and you have to think about it and it’s not automatic, you’re never going to be able to conquer algebra and all those other courses.” Another significant change: students in high school will be taught how to balance their checkbooks and apply for loans in an attempt to teach them financial literacy. That course had heretofore been offered as an elective, not a required course.
Additionally, instead of reading “chunks” of books, meaning excerpts from great books, the new program urges the reading of complete books. Either the SAT and ACT would be required for high school students, as well as the Florida Civic Literacy Test for seniors, which TampaBay.com describes as a “100-question exam to encompass the U.S. citizenship exam plus questions about landmark U.S. Supreme Court cases.”
Miami-Dade Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said numerous complaints had been made over the Common Core approach to math from teachers and educators. He stated, “Teachers never really embraced it, parents never really understood it.”
As The Federalist noted in 2017, Common Core was pushed by the Gates Foundation; the foundation run by Bill Gates and his wife Melinda spent over $400 million to help implement it across the country starting in 2009.
As Valerie Strauss wrote in The Washington Post in 2018 of Barack Obama’s Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and the Obama administration’s support for Common Core:
What he did focus on was pushing teacher evaluation systems that relied in large part on standardized test scores — a method of assessment that experts warned was unreliable. He also emphasized expanding charter schools and adopting and implementing Common Core State Standards, spending $360 million to create Core-aligned standardized tests that he said would be “an absolute game-changer” for public education. They weren’t.
Townhall reported in November 2018 that one of the authors of a Pioneer Institute study titled “Common Core, School Choice and Rethinking Standards-Based Reform,” Ted Rebarber of AccountabilityWorks, spoke of the damage Common Core had done, saying, “In my view, [Common Core] is really the worst large-scale educational failure in 40 years.” Townhall continued, “He demonstrated that U.S. students’ math scores on the National Association of Educational Progress (NAEP) had long been creeping up ever since reliable test results became available in the 1970s. But after release of Common Core in 2010 and full implementation in the fall of 2014, NAEP scores plateaued and then began to decline.”
Sandra Stotsky, professor in the Department of Education Reform at the University of Arkansas, who served on the official Common Core validation committee, stated, “Common Core’s ELA standards do not strengthen the high school curriculum. Nor can they reduce post-secondary remedial coursework in a legitimate way. As empty skill sets, Common Core’s ELA ‘college readiness’ standards weaken the base of literary and cultural knowledge needed for authentic college coursework, decrease the capacity for analytical thinking … and completely muddle the development of writing skills.”
Less than a week ago, Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar announced she is up for re-election to represent Minnesota in the federal government.
Now, according to the New York Post, it looks like she’s up for being potentially investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for allegedly marrying her own brother as part of an immigration scheme.
She’s repeatedly denied the allegations, but they haven’t gone away.
If the re-election bid works out for her, she could be spending two more years in Congress.
If the FBI review turns into a criminal investigation, she could be spending up to five years in jail.
At issue is a marriage the Somali-born Omar entered into in 2009 with a British citizen identified as Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, according to the Post: And it’s that marriage that has attracted the attention of the FBI, the Department of Education, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The Post reporting follows an article published by TheBlaze in mid-January that described how the FBI was working with the Department of Education to look into a claim that Omar’s marriage to Elmi was part of a plan to allow him to obtain a green card in the United States.
(Omar herself became a citizen in 2000 at the age of 17, according to The Associated Press.)
TheBlaze report, by David Steinberg — a writer who has spent years on this story — states that Omar enrolled at North Dakota State University in Fargo in 2009, shortly after the marriage. Her husband enrolled in the school a year later.
Do you think Omar will be re-elected by her district in the fall?

The married couple permanently separated in June 2011, about the same time Omar completed her degree at the school, Steinberg reported.
At the time she married Elmi in 2009, according to the Post, Omar was legally single, but had borne two children to Ahmed Hirsi, a man she’d married in a Muslim ceremony in 2002.
Throughout the period of her marriage to Elmi, according to Steinberg and the Post, the couple lived with Hirsi and the two children Omar and Hirsi had together.
Is any of this sounding suspicious?
Clearly, investigators at the federal level think it might — and the stakes are considerable.
As the Post reported: “If Omar did marry her brother, she could be found guilty of committing marriage fraud — a felony offense punishable with a prison sentence of up to five years and a fine of up to $250,000.”
According to the Post, Omar did not respond to requests for comment on the latest story, published Sunday, but has publicly called the allegations “disgusting lies.” (She used exactly those words during her run for Congress in 2018 according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press (subscription required).
After separating from Elmi, Omar had a third child with Hirsi, according to Post. As it turned out, however, she didn’t get around to getting a legal divorce from Elmi until 2017, which freed her up to marry Hirsi again – in a civil, legally binding ceremony this time.
That’s all complicated enough, but according to the Post and Steinberg’s reporting, Omar might have committed perjury in getting the divorce because she claimed he was in the United Kingdom and she had no contact with him. The truth might have been otherwise.
“In divorce papers asking to dissolve their marriage by alternate means in 2017, Omar swore under penalty of perjury that she had no way of contacting Elmi and said his last known location was London in June 2011,” the Post reported.
“But lease and eviction records and traffic violations reviewed by The Post suggest Elmi was in the US the whole time — living just 2.6 miles away from her at an apartment in downtown Minneapolis.”
As most of the political world knows by now, Omar’s marriage to Hirsi didn’t last – it broke up after she was accused of having an affair with a married political consultant who was paid buckets of money by Omar’s campaign. The accusation in divorce papers filed by the consultant’s wife, as reported by the Post in August.
Hirsi remarried a little more than a month after the divorce was finalized.
Omar has not, though the Post reported she has been photographed on several occasions leaving the same Washington apartment as the consultant whose wife accused her.
Her love life though, troubled as it might be, could be the least of her worries.
And that re-election bid she announced last week might not be her biggest challenge in the coming year.
With the FBI and inspectors for Immigration and Customs Enforcement looking into her knotty, possibly criminal, domestic affairs, it’s not getting back into Congress Omar should be thinking about.
It’s staying out of jail.

NYPD Police Commissioner Dermot Shea blamed Democrats’ bail reform during a press conference on Friday, saying that it was responsible for an explosion of crime around the city.
“Since 2020 began, as of Friday at midnight, robberies are up 32.5 percent, car theft is up 61 percent and burglaries are up 18 percent compared to the same time period last year,” the New York Post reported. “And the numbers aren’t fractions either — a total of 233 more robberies have happened this year compared to last, 159 more car thefts and 125 more burglaries, just in the last three weeks.”
“In the first three weeks of this year, we’re seeing significant spikes in crime. So either we forgot how to police New York City, or there’s a correlation,” Shea said. “If you let out individuals that commit a lot of crime, that’s precision policing in reverse and we’re seeing the effects in a very quick time, and that is why we’re so concerned.”
“People say it just took effect, you can’t have consequences already. Take a look at the comp stat,” Shea continued. “We’re seeing it immediately at the same time that you have [state and local jail] populations dropping significantly. Now don’t tell me there’s not a correlation to that.”
“You have to have a situation where dangerous individuals, or individuals that repeatedly commit crimes and victimize people, are kept in,” Shea added. “And if judges don’t have that ability, I think we’re all in trouble, and I don’t think any New Yorker wants that to happen.”
Shea also hammered the new discovery laws that went into effect, noting that it needs to be addressed immediately.
“The second piece is going to take longer and then it’s going to be a one-two punch as discovery takes hold,” Shea said. “Discovery is going to change how crimes are prosecuted in New York. … When you have instances where witnesses and victims will be afraid to call the police, that is a real problem and that needs to be fixed… this is something that affects all New Yorkers.”
A separate report from the New York Post noted that the new law has freed nearly 20% of New York’s prison population.
“Department of Correction statistics show there were a total of 5,569 people in city jails on Thursday, a 19% drop from the 6,877 counted on Nov. 21,” the New York Post reported. “Despite freed defendants getting busted for more alleged crimes — including accused bank robber Gerod Woodberry and alleged anti-Semitic slapper Tiffany Harris — Gov. Andrew Cuomo didn’t mention bail reform during his annual State of the State Address and legislative leaders aren’t making any moves to change the law.”
Last month, Democrat New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio told Fox News, “Let’s get clear on what’s going on here. We have a problem. We’re not going to jail our way out of the problem. We need tough consequences. We need a lot of police presence.”
When asked if the policy was being soft on crime, de Blasio responded, “No, it’s not. It’s trying to get people out of crime and keep them out of crime. Look, if you want us to do what we have done for decades, which bred career criminals, which ensured that a lot of people were locked up and that only made them worse, we could keep doing that.”
Pam Bondi opened her testimony by asserting the Democrats mentioned Burisma and Hunter Biden 400 times during their opening arguments last week.
Ms. Bondi clearly and concisely showed how Hunter Biden was sitting on the board of a very corrupt Ukrainian natural gas company whilst his father then-Vice President Joe Biden was tasked with handling Ukrainian relations.
The Senators got to see for the first time all of the bank statements proving Hunter Biden was paid over $3 million in a 17-month time span for sitting on the board of Burisma, despite having zero experience in oil and gas.
Bondi not only exposed the Bidens’ corruption in Ukraine, she also brought up Hunter Biden’s sweetheart deal from the Bank of China after flying with his daddy on Air Force Two to China.
But the three largest networks, ABC, CBS and NBC blacked out Bondi’s damning presentation exposing the Biden crime family.
Fake news networks, all regulated by the FCC, are covering for the Democrats and protecting 2020 Democrat front runner Joe Biden!
In contrast, the same three networks carried impeachment manager Schiff’s live presentations.
BREAKING: All Big 3 networks ABC, CBS, NBC blacked out Trump defense lawyer Pam Bondi’s presentation this afternoon of Ukraine corruption related to Joe Biden, son Hunter Biden & Burisma. In contrast, Big 3 carried Schiff’s p.m. presentations live, preempting regular programming
The networks on Monday also gave less air time to Trump’s lawyers in comparison to wall-to-wall live coverage of the Democrats last week.

Deep state players in the Obama administration wove an elaborate tapestry of collusion, subterfuge, and electoral chicanery. While better suited for a Robert Ludlum novel, it played out in real time over the past four years.
Stars of the drama include familiar names such as James Comey, James Clapper, John Brennan, and Andrew McCabe. Supporting actors played an unwitting role, namely Carter Page and George Papadopoulos. The victim was then candidate Donald Trump. Heroes of the saga include Attorney General William Barr, U.S. Attorney John Durham, and a mysterious group simply called Q.
The plot was simple. The Obama administration, in 2016 and before, wanted to preordain the 2016 electoral outcome. What better way to do this than to spy on the rival presidential campaign? Since spying is illegal, a pretense was needed.
That’s where the Steele Dossier came in. The DNC, the Hillary Clinton campaign, and top Obama administration officials colluded with multiple foreign governments to fabricate opposition research on the Trump campaign alleging treasonous activities. This allowed the FBI to obtain a FISA warrant to spy on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page, and likely others as well.
The Obama administration colluded with foreign governments to influence an election. How ironic that this is exactly what President Trump was impeached for, and why he is a “dictator” and an “existential threat to democracy”. Can you say projection?
The FISA court granted a Title 1 FISA warrant against Page, reserved for those accused of being “an agent of a foreign power,” one who is “knowingly engaging in clandestine intelligence activities.” Yet Page was never arrested or indicted for his activities. The reality is that he was a CIA asset “engaged in clandestine intelligence activities” not for Russia, but for America, and this minor bit of information was deliberately omitted from his FISA warrant application and three renewals.
The Barr DOJ has been pulling hard enough on this thread that after four years of FBI deceit and abuse of power, the Trump Russia collusion tapestry is unraveling before our very eyes. Like a game of Jenga, where blocks are slowly pulled out without collapsing the entire structure, the latest DOJ revelation is the “keystone” which held the entire charade together.
As the Daily Wire reported last week, “DOJ Rules Comey’s FBI Had ‘Insufficient Predication To Establish Probable Cause’ In FISA Scandal.”
The Department of Justice says that the FBI under disgraced former Director James Comey should have discontinued its secret surveillance on a member of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election because it had “insufficient predication to establish probable cause.”
This is a big deal. The Justice Department is conceding that two of the four FISA applications it used to conduct surveillance of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page were not lawful, and it’s not defending the legality of its other two applications.
What if the other two of four applications were equally bogus? As the FISA warrant applications were based on the fabricated Steele Dossier, and as the Inspector General discovered 17 specific “inaccuracies and omissions” in the warrant applications, it’s highly probable that the entire effort to spy on Carter Page, and through the “two-hop rule”, everyone in President Trump’s orbit, was a gross and deliberate abuse of power.
Aside from the illegality of deceiving the FISA court, and the seditious efforts to remove a duly elected American president, it blows up all downstream Democrat, media, and deep state efforts to overturn the 2016 election.
There is a legal doctrine called the “fruit of the poisonous tree.” To summarize:
A doctrine that extends the exclusionary rule to make evidence inadmissible in court if it was derived from evidence that was illegally obtained. As the metaphor suggests, if the evidential “tree” is tainted, so is its “fruit.”
What fruit did this poisonous tree bear? Read through dossier and see some familiar names and convictions. As World Net Daily reported:
The convictions include former Trump 2016 campaign chairman Paul Manafort, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, Richard Pineda, Dutch attorney Alex van der Zwaan, former Trump campaign deputy chairman Rick Gates, former national security adviser Michael Flynn and Roger Stone.
They all face legal jeopardy or prison due to the Weissman and Mueller cabal, all fruit of the poisonous tree.
No dossier, no special counsel, no Muller, no witchhunt, and no years of fallout and indictments. Time and money wasted. The accused losing their savings, reputations, and freedom over poisonous accusations. A presidency carrying an albatross of suspected treason.
The entire tree from which Democrats, the media, and NeverTrumpers having been harvesting fruit turns out to be a poisonous tree. The fruit is poisonous and those who ate the fruit are now ill. Is it any wonder President Trump, in interviews and at rallies, repeats the phrase, “These people are sick”? Are they sick as in deranged or sick from eating from the poisonous tree?
Lastly is the issue of intent. As the tapestry unravels, expect to see the guilty plead ignorance, that they were duped, and point their fingers at their coconspirators. What is more likely is that they had full knowledge of what they were doing.
This includes Congressional Democrats and the media, all knowingly perpetuating a falsehood, conspiring to undermine and overthrow a duly elected president.
A few months ago, the enigmatic Q brought up the term “knowingly”. Did those involved “know” their tree was poisonous, yielding poisonous fruit? As the tapestry unravels, this may be the next big reveal.
What does “18 U.S. Code § 2385. Advocating overthrow of Government” say about “knowingly”?
Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises… of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States.
Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government.
Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence.
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
This is gross and deliberate abuse of power, a coup to undermine and remove a duly elected president. All done with intent, knowingly. The fallout is far and wide and all as bogus as the predication of this entire hoax.
Yet the media and their Democrat allies are upset over Trump doing his job investigating corruption, and exercising his prerogative to remove ambassadors, just as Obama did before he even assumed office.
This is what Barr and Durham are investigating, pulling on the thread, unraveling the elaborately constructed tapestry, revealing a group of hateful partisans engaged in a seditious conspiracy to overturn a legitimate government. Hopefully their reckoning awaits. Along with well-deserved pain.

No dossier, no special counsel, no Muller, no witchhunt, and no years of fallout and indictments. Time and money wasted. The accused losing their savings, reputations, and freedom over poisonous accusations. A presidency carrying an albatross of suspected treason.
The entire tree from which Democrats, the media, and NeverTrumpers having been harvesting fruit turns out to be a poisonous tree. The fruit is poisonous and those who ate the fruit are now ill. Is it any wonder President Trump, in interviews and at rallies, repeats the phrase, “These people are sick”? Are they sick as in deranged or sick from eating from the poisonous tree?
Lastly is the issue of intent. As the tapestry unravels, expect to see the guilty plead ignorance, that they were duped, and point their fingers at their coconspirators. What is more likely is that they had full knowledge of what they were doing.
This includes Congressional Democrats and the media, all knowingly perpetuating a falsehood, conspiring to undermine and overthrow a duly elected president.
A few months ago, the enigmatic Q brought up the term “knowingly”. Did those involved “know” their tree was poisonous, yielding poisonous fruit? As the tapestry unravels, this may be the next big reveal.
What does “18 U.S. Code § 2385. Advocating overthrow of Government” say about “knowingly”?
Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises… of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States.
Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government.
Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence.
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
This is gross and deliberate abuse of power, a coup to undermine and remove a duly elected president. All done with intent, knowingly. The fallout is far and wide and all as bogus as the predication of this entire hoax.
Yet the media and their Democrat allies are upset over Trump doing his job investigating corruption, and exercising his prerogative to remove ambassadors, just as Obama did before he even assumed office.
This is what Barr and Durham are investigating, pulling on the thread, unraveling the elaborately constructed tapestry, revealing a group of hateful partisans engaged in a seditious conspiracy to overturn a legitimate government. Hopefully their reckoning awaits. Along with well-deserved pain.
