REVEALED: Meet #NeverTrumper Evan McMullin’s Secret Silicon Valley Donor

REVEALED: Meet #NeverTrumper Evan McMullin’s Secret Silicon Valley Donor

December 10, 2017
by Joshua Caplan

Failed presidential candidate and staunch #NeverTrumper Evan McMullin is backed by a secretive group of ‘Silicon Sultans.’ The former CIA agent is pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into the Alabama Senate Race with the hope of taking down Republican Judge Roy Moore. 

Daily Caller reports:

McMullin’s recently founded non-profit organization, Stand Up Republic, jumped into the Alabama Senate race this week with a $500,000 ad buy against Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore. […]

One of McMullin’s large Silicon Valley donors is billionaire eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, who funded an anti-Trump super PAC during the presidential campaign.

Omidyar announced a $250,000 donation to Stand Up Republic in May through his organization, Democracy Fund. […]

Democracy Fund said the donation to Stand Up Republic was to support the group in “confronting and engaging in important work to protect the norms of our democracy and to push back against dangerous demagoguery in our politics.” […]

The identities of McMullin’s other “larger donors from Silicon Valley” remain a secret and he intends to keep it that way.

Stand Up Republic is “confronting and engaging in important work to protect the norms of our democracy and to push back against dangerous demagoguery in our politics,” claims Democracy Fund.

Following the 2016 presidential election, McMullin said “Donald Trump is not a loyal American and we should prepare for the next four years accordingly.”

The #NeverTrump isn’t playing with a full deck.

As Peter Hasson of the Daily Caller points out, many of McMullin voters regret supporting him.

Haley Repeatedly Warns North Korea Will Be ‘Utterly Destroyed’ If It Attacks U.S. or Allies

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley warned on Sunday that North Korea will be "utterly destroyed" if it attacks the United States or its allies.

"Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace asked Haley about her tough talk on North Korea and why the Trump administration should take that approach.

"Just the other day you said if there’s war, that North Korea, the regime there will be utterly destroyed," Wallace said. "Why such tough talk?"

"It’s the truth. I mean the reality is if North Korea even attempts to try and threaten the United States or any one of our allies, they will be utterly destroyed," Haley said. "Diplomacy is great in some respects, but you have to also be honest and this was something that North Korea needed to hear and the international community needed to hear."

Haley said that the situation is where it currently is because of North Korea’s provocations and refusal to rid itself of its nuclear program.

"North Korea has pushed the envelope to an extreme level. The United States isn’t going to put up with it and the international community has also rallied around saying North Korea has to denuclearize," Haley said. "But that’s just the honest facts. If North Korea attempts to threaten or do anything to destabilize us or our allies, we absolutely will utterly destroy them."

Democratic Rep Dodges Question on Racially Insensitive Alabama Mailer Before Admitting It Was a ‘Mistake’

Democratic Rep. Terri Sewell (Ala.) dodged a question Sunday on whether she believed the racially insensitive mailer released by Alabama Democratic Senate candidate Doug Jones’ campaign was wrong, but then later admitted that it was a mistake.

ABC’s "This Week" host Martha Raddatz said she wanted to get Sewell’s reaction on the mailer, citing a local African American voter who told a local news outlet that he would not be voting in Alabama’s special election because it was a "complete slap in the face."

"Think if a black man went after high school girls anyone would try to make him a Senator?" the mailer read.

Vice News reporter Alexandra Jaffe posted a picture of the mailer on Twitter.

"Well, listen. Mailers don’t vote. It’s people who vote and I really believe the folks of Alabama will see through all of this nonsense about Roy Moore," Sewell said.

"Was that mailer a mistake? Do you think that was a mistake? I know people vote and mailers don’t, but was it a mistake?" Raddatz asked.

"Yeah. It was," Sewell said.

Sewell talked about how the voters weren’t looking at just one piece of campaign literature, but would be assessing what Jones’ Republican opponent Roy Moore was saying about why he is the right candidate. Moore has been endorsed by President Donald Trump but faces multiple past allegations of sexual misconduct with teenaged girls, which he denies.

The Root, an online magazine dedicated to black culture, published a piece on Thursday entitled, "A Racist Flyer Might Cost Doug Jones the Election Because the Entire Democratic Party Is Trash."

"Someone, probably a white man, thought that the image would resonate with black people and motivate them to get out the vote. It’s as if black people were considering voting for the child molester until some brilliant strategist posited, "What if he were black, though?" the article said.

The special election will be held on Dec. 12.

Trump Brings Down the House With Reagan-Style Declaration About God

President Donald Trump has been compared to former President Ronald Reagan on several key issues, but what Trump said on Friday night really had supporters fired up.

During a campaign-style rally in Pensacola, Florida, Trump brought down the house with a Reagan-esque declaration about God and big government.

In his speech, Trump said “protecting religious liberty” has been a top priority for his administration, adding that “getting rid of the Johnson amendment” will be another big step forward.

As noted by The New York Times, the Johnson amendment is a decades-old provision in the U.S. tax code prohibiting non-profit institutions including churches from making political statements and endorsements.

The amendment is repealed in the current version of the GOP tax reform plan.

Trump then launched into a portion of his speech that attracted a huge applause and reaction from the audience.

“We have stopped the government attacks on our Judeo-Christian values,” Trump said, “because we know that families and churches, not government officials, know best how to create a strong and loving community.”

He continued: “And above all else, we know this, America doesn’t worship government, we worship God.”

Trump’s comments drew such a loud response from the crowd that he literally couldn’t talk until the noise had subsided.

Check out a portion of his speech below. The key line comes about the 55-second mark.

Trump’s bold comments on God being greater than the liberal idea of worshipping the government is eerily similar to statements made by Reagan decades ago.

On Jan. 20, 1981, Reagan’s first inaugural address took dead aim at eviscerating the notion of big government.

“In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem,” Reagan said, summing up in one sentence the conservative ideas that got him elected.

During another speech, on Aug. 23, 1984, to the Dallas Ecumenical Prayer Breakfast, Reagan spoke about the importance of the United States remaining committed to the word of God.

“Without God, there is no virtue, because there’s no prompting of the conscience … And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under,” he said.

While former President Barack Obama thought it was important to talk about rising sea levels and allowing men to use women’s restrooms, real leaders like Trump and Reagan have energized the country by speaking about the importance of faith and families over government intrusion.

As Reagan did during his presidency, Trump has made it clear that he will promote faith, reduce government, and fight for Christians in America.

Unlike Obama, Trump has made it clear that he will stand up for Christians and celebrate God.

25-Year FBI Vet: “Corrupt” Officials Used Trump Dossier to Justify Wire Taps

While many Americans have long doubted claims from Democrats who said President Donald Trump lied about being wiretapped by former President Barack Obama, a new report may prove Trump was right.

Trump tweeted in March that he believed the Obama administration ordered the wiretapping of Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential election.

During FBI Director Christopher Wray’s testimony Thursday before the House Judiciary Committee, he had a notable exchange with Florida Republican Rep. Ron DeSantis that may have contained a major revelation.

DeSantis asked Wray if the discredited Trump-Russia dossier — which was partly funded by failed Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee — was used as the basis for obtaining a warrant under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to spy on Trump and members of this campaign.

Wray refused to answer.

TRENDING: More Countries Follow Trump’s Lead in Declaring Jerusalem to be Israel’s Capital

During Wray’s testimony, conservative author and colulmnist Paul Sperry sent out a bombshell tweet.

Sperry wrote that a 25-year veteran of the FBI told him that the dossier was used in the FISA application by pro-Clinton FBI Agent Peter Strzok to spy on Trump.

“(J)ust got this from 25yr vet of FBI who spent 10 years in CI,” wrote Sperry, using the initials “CI” for “counterintelligence”:

“Steele’s dossier was used as predication for that FISA and submitted by that p*** Strzok. I pray there are strong consequences. The entire hierarchy was corrupted.”

The explosive report follows news that more top members of special counsel Robert Mueller’s team have been exposed for an anti-Trump, pro-Clinton bias.

On Thursday, it was reported that a top Justice Department official had been demoted after it was revealed that he had been in contact with Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm that compiled the dossier.

According to Fox, then-Deputy Attorney General Bruce G. Ohr, met with Christopher Steele, the former British spy who compiled the dossier, after the 2016 presidential election.

On Tuesday, Andrew Weissman, a top prosecutor currently serving as a deputy to Mueller, praised former acting Attorney General Sally Yates after she was fired in January by Trump for refusing carry out Trump’s orders on the travel ban.

RELATED: Day Before Trump Issued Pro-Israeli Statement, Obama Compared Him to Hitler

In a Jan. 30 email obtained by the conservative group Judicial Watch through a federal lawsuit, Weissmann wrote to Yates from his Justice Department account applauding her for defying Trump’s orders.

It was reported on Monday that Mueller fired Strzok, a former top counterintelligence analyst at the FBI, over the summer for sending text messages mocking Trump to an FBI lawyer with whom he was having an affair.

Strzok also played a major role in the investigation into Clinton’s email scandal, where Mueller’s “pit bull” changed former FBI Director James Comey’s statement that described Clinton’s actions as “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless,” shielding her from criminal charges.

Three top officials have now been exposed for leading a politically driven investigation against Trump.

If top FBI and DOJ officials — who either served or still currently serve on Mueller’s team — used the discredited dossier to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump, we could be talking about a major political scandal.

And Sperry’s report that a former FBI veteran said that the Steele dossier was used by Strzok to obtain the FISA warrant to spy on Trump definitely points in that direction.

WAPO Reporter Apologizes to Trump After FAKE NEWS Tweet on Crowd Size

The Washington Post‘s Dave Weigel was busted when his tweet of a nearly empty arena that he claimed was the crowd at President Trump’s rally in Pensacola, Florida on Friday got called out as bullshit by the president himself.

Weigel owned up to his dishonesty, deleted his tweet and apologized:

But he wasn’t going to get off the hook so easily because the POTUS having been the subject of multiple fake news stories this week including CNN’s nothing-whopper with cheese reporting an email giving advance notice to WikiLeaks materials to Donald Trump Jr. which was debunked when it was reported that the crackerjack staff at CNN had the wrong date on the email.

Trump called for Weigel’s firing:

The WAPO will never fire a fake news “reporter” because that is their top product, just as CNN is not holding anyone accountable for their Friday fiasco.

Weigel played it off by saying that the tweet was from his own personal account and not an official Washington Post story and maybe that is true but it exposes the exact type of biased liberal hacks that the paper employs.

Meanwhile, other fake newsers flew to Weigel’s rescue:

No Mr. Griffin, it is not a public threat to the First Amendment, the Constitution only applies to a free press, not propaganda.

Trump wins again!

WATCH: Students With MAGA Hats EVICTED From ‘Safe Space’ Coffee Shop At Fordham U

A group of students wearing “Make America Great Again” hats were booted from a non-profit coffee shop on the Fordham University campus because the cafe is considered a “safe space,” and the hats were triggering customers and staff.

In a shocking video obtained by Campus Reform, a student worker at “Rodrigue’s Coffee House,” harasses and berates the group, screaming that the students were ““Fascism, Nazis!” and they have “three minutes” to vacate the premises.

WATCH:

“You are threatening the integrity of our club. This is a community standard—you are wearing hats that completely violate safe space policy,” the woman – the coffee shop manager – says in the video. “You have to take it off or you have to go.”

When the students take their time, the woman becomes agitated, eventually screaming “Get out! Five minutes.”

When a student asks her to explain, she continues to shout. “Fascism, Nazis! You have three minutes.”

“I do not see fascism, Nazis on this hat,” one of the hat-wearing students answers. “I see America.”

In a later interview with the New York Post, the MAGA-hat wearing group says they weren’t “reading off a manifesto” or even talking politics. They were sitting in the coffee house discussing their respective study strategies for finals week.

According to Campus Reform, the coffee house is actually an extra-curricular “club,” and is staffed by a group of volunteers, and it’s ideological leanings are well known. There are also rules for patronizing the coffee shop. Among them, “Do not make assumptions about someone’s gender, sexuality, race, class, or experiences” and “No racism – No sexism – No homophobia.”

They claim to be an open space on their Facebook page, and a review of their services indicates that Rodrigue’s “is the only on-campus club that provides a daily, tangible service to all members of the Fordham community through low-priced, organic and Fair-Trade coffee drinks as well as an open community space.”

But their commitment to diversity apparently extends only so far.

Twitter Rips ‘Bully’ Chelsea Handler For Mocking White House Spokesman Sarah Sanders’ Looks In Video

When unfunny comedian Chelsea Handler announced in October that she was leaving her unfunny show on Netflix, she said she wanted to “devote as much time as I can to becoming a more knowledgeable and engaged citizen and to focus on projects that have significance to me.”

Apparently, she’s decided that she can “participate in a more meaningful way” by shaming other women for their appearances and their weight.

Handler posted a video on Twitter that shows an actress pretending to be White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders giving tips on how to apply makeup. The four-minute video contains hilarious lines like this: “Right now my skin is dry, just like Puerto Rico before that one rainy day!”

“Put it on like gravy. My face is a big fat biscuit!” says the Sanders impersonator with a heavy southern drawl. And: “She’s only 35? I get it. I’ve got my dad’s old face. I’d be shocked as sh*t too….”

Viewers on Twitter didn’t find the stupid video funny.

To which Handler replied:

But many others ripped into Handler for being a “bully” and targeting a women’s appearance and weight.

And on and on they go (hit Twitter and read all the comments — so many of which we can’t publish on a family website).

Handler has targeted Sanders’ looks before, saying on her low-rated TV show: “That harlot that they are dressing up and trolloping out every day? I mean, one day she has no makeup on at all, the next she’s got like 6-foot long eyelashes, and she’s got cleavage, and summer whore lipstick all over her face. Can you believe what they’ve turned her into? A proper trollop.”

Ah, participating in the political process “in a more meaningful way.” Such a noble Hollywood cause.

*Ugh* Alabama GOP Senator Joins with Democrats – Tells CNN He Did Not Vote for Roy Moore (VIDEO)

With Friends like the Senator Shelby Who Needs Enemies?

Senator Richard Shelby went on CNN on Sunday morning to announce he did not vote for Judge Roy Moore in the Alabama senate special election.

Shelby made these comments 40 hours before the special election.

Shelby wants the ultra-left Democrat Doug Jones to win in Alabama.

This is how Republican elites think. They would rather turn over the country to liberal elites and their 100 years of failed policy than vote for an embattled Republican.

On Friday Moore accuser Beverly Nelson admitted on national television that she tampered with Roy Moore’s signature in her yearbook.

This didn’t stop Senator Shelby from piling on Judge Moore.

Senator Richard Shelby: “I want to reiterate again: I didn’t vote for Roy Moore, I wouldn’t vote for Roy Moore, I think the Republican Party can do better,

It’s not clear who many of these Republicans think they represent?

Shelby went on with Jake Tapper on Sunday.

VIDEO => ANTIFA BEATS HEADS At Kate Steinle Memorial March in Portland

VIDEO => ANTIFA BEATS HEADS At Kate Steinle Memorial March in Portland

December 10, 2017
by Brock Simmons

Portland, Oregon based Patriot Prayer attempted to hold a rally and march in honor of Kate Steinle on Saturday.

And of course Antifa Communists just had to show up to cause trouble.

Patriot Prayer is led by Joey Gibson, and generally regarded as the area’s main collection of Trump supporters. Two brawls break out and antifa basically get their butts handed to them as they try to pick fights.

Note the guy in the blue Navy hoodie, single handedly taking on about 8 antifa agitators. Also note the police rush in to break it up after about 30 seconds, when it’s clear the Trump people are winning.

Controversial Portland Police Sergeant Chadd Stensgaard can be seen berating the man known as “Tiny”, the giant pro Trump Samoan dude. Something about “stay on your side of the street,” as Tiny tries to wash pepper spray out of his eyes. Tiny was subsequently arrested for this, booked on Disorderly Conduct, Harassment, and Assault IV charges. He was the only one arrested. So, in the People’s Republic Of Portland, it’s perfectly alright for the violent antifa to come over onto the supposedly designated Trump side of the street and start fights, but a Trump supporter can’t go over to the supposedly “antifa” side of the street.

You can see well known communist agitator Luis Marquez berating Joey Gibson and Portland Police.  It’s evident that the Portland Police were there to protect Marquez and his band of masked commies.

Big city police prove, once again, that there are two sets of laws; One set of laws that allow the communists to get away with whatever they want to do, and another set of laws that non communists get arrested on, even though their actions are equal to, if not less criminal-ish, than what the communists are doing. At some point, the “right wing” folks in big cities will come to realize that the police are not there to protect the public or to protect anyone’s rights. They are there to collect a paycheck, the paycheck comes from the city, and the city, run by extreme leftists, tells them to protect the communists and arrest anyone who stands up against the leftist violence.
