James Woods HAMMERS Bill Clinton in Ferocious Tweetstorm ‘You Looted Haiti Like a Peg-Legged Pirate’

James Woods upped the ante on Saturday.

The patriotic actor is know for his razor sharp wit, delivering punishing rounds to liberals on Twitter.

Woods out did himself in a ferocious tweetstorm utterly destroying former President Bill Clinton.

Former president Bill Clinton lashed out on his Twitter account Saturday refuting reports that claim Clinton Foundation donations paid for Chelsea Clinton’s wedding.

Bill Clinton tweeted, “No Clinton Foundation funds—dedicated to Haiti or otherwise—were used to pay for Chelsea’s wedding. It’s not only untrue, it’s a personal insult to me, to Hillary, and to Chelsea and Marc.”

Attached to Bill Clinton’s tweet is a Washington Post ‘fact checker’ titled, “Did The Clinton Foundation Pay For Chelsea’s Wedding?”

James Woods, you are our hero!

In the first of three punishing rounds to Bill Clinton, Woods tweeted, “The balls on this guy! You looted Haiti like a peg-legged pirate. You, your crooked wife, and your cheesy slush fund “foundation” worked in concert to turn it into the shithole it has become.

In round two, James Woods zinged the former president over the ‘cigar’ incident Clinton had with his intern Monica Lewinsky.

Bill Clinton tweeted, “I’ve traveled and worked in Haiti, and across Africa and Central America. The countries the president described with his epithet do not exist. Some thoughts as we remember those lost in Haiti eight years ago today”

James Woods dropped the hammer in response.

“Epithet??!! Try this epithet on for size : “human humidor.” That’s what you turned your intern into in the confines of our White House. It wasn’t your personal brothel, you hypocrite, it was the People’s White House. Epithet, my ass.”

James Woods scolded Bill Clinton in his 3rd and final tweet (for now).

“You were impeached for perjury. Zip it.”

Chelsea Clinton reportedly used stolen money from Haiti relief to pay for her extravagant wedding.

Report: Dick Durbin Has A History Of Lying About Private White House Meetings

Only thing he is consistent at.

Via Daily Wire:

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) accused President Donald Trump on Friday of referring to African countries as “s***holes” during a meeting that they both attended on Thursday.

Durbin told reporters that what Trump said was “hate-filled, vile and racist,” adding that “the most disheartening thing to me is my belief that that was the first time words that hateful had been spoken in the Oval Office of the White House.”

There’s just one problem with Durbin’s claims: He has a history of making up statements from private White House meetings.

In 2013, Politico reported:

“In a ‘negotiation’ meeting with the president, one GOP House Leader told [President Barack Obama]: ‘I cannot even stand to look at you,’” Durbin wrote in a post on his Facebook page over the weekend.

However, both the White House and the House speaker’s office denied Durbin’s account of events.

Asked about the post in the White House daily briefing, press secretary Jay Carney said he checked with a participant of the meeting in question.

“I looked into this and spoke with somebody who was in that meeting and it did not happen,” Carney said.

Politico added that Durbin’s office “had no comment on the post and offered no further details.”

“Sen. Durbin’s accusation is a serious one, and it appears to have been invented out of thin air,” said Brendan Buck, spokesman for then-House Speaker John Boehner. “The senator should disclose who told him this account of events, retract his reckless allegation immediately, and apologize.”

‘Hypocrite’ De Blasio Got Savaged By The Media For Suing Oil Companies Over Global Warming

Bill gets served.

Via Daily Caller:

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Thursday stood side-by-side with environmentalists as he unveiled his plan to sue five oil companies for damages supposedly caused by man-made global warming.

De Blasio blames five major oil companies, including ExxonMobil, for damages caused to New York City by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The mayor wants companies to pay for the damages and for future projects to make the city more resilient to flooding and storm surge.

But while environmentalists applauded de Blasio’s anti-oil effort, it fell flat among media outlets that have been covering his repeated use of SUVs and helicopters. Outlets were quick to point out de Blasio’s own hypocrisy when it came to fighting global warming.

New York Times writer Jim Dwyer pointed out the NYC mayor “regularly rides around town in an SUV” In fact, de Blasio regularly cruises around with a fleet of SUVs, including when he goes to the gym.

Feds announce indictment in massive bribery scheme connected to Hillary Clinton’s Uranium One deal

A federal indictment connected to the infamous “Uranium One” deal facilitated by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration was announced Friday.

What happened?

The Department of Justice announced an 11-count indictment against Mark Lambert in connection to a Russian bribery scheme involving the Uranium One sale. Lambert is the “former co-president of a Maryland-based transportation company that provides services for the transportation of nuclear materials to customers in the United States and abroad,” the DOJ said in a statement.

He was charged with one account of conspiracy to violate the the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and to commit wire fraud, seven counts of violating the FCPA, two counts of wire fraud and one count of international promotion money laundering, the DOJ said. More from the DOJ:

The charges stem from an alleged scheme to bribe Vadim Mikerin, a Russian official at JSC Techsnabexport (TENEX), a subsidiary of Russia’s State Atomic Energy Corporation and the sole supplier and exporter of Russian Federation uranium and uranium enrichment services to nuclear power companies worldwide, in order to secure contracts with TENEX.

beginning at least as early as 2009 and continuing until October 2014, Lambert conspired with others at “Transportation Corporation A” to make corrupt and fraudulent bribery and kickback payments to offshore bank accounts associated with shell companies, at the direction of, and for the benefit of, a Russian official, Vadim Mikerin, in order to secure improper business advantages and obtain and retain business with TENEX.

A National Review expose on the Uranium One scandal explains that TENEX is the commercial agent responsible for the sale and transportation of uranium to the U.S. It is also a Kremlin-controlled company and a subsidiary of Rosatom, Russia’s state-controlled nuclear company.

More details:

The bribery scheme deal was first reported last October. According to a report from The Hill, federal investigators began collecting evidence about crimes surrounding the deal in 2009.

The Hill reported the “FBI had gathered substantial evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering designed to grow Vladimir Putin’s atomic energy business inside the United States.” The report added:

Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show.

They also obtained an eyewitness account — backed by documents — indicating Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow, sources told The Hill.

The report went on to state the DOJ kept Congress and the American public in the dark about corrupt Russian nuclear activities happening on U.S. soil during a time when the Obama administration “made two major decisions benefiting Putin’s commercial nuclear ambitions.”

What is the Uranium One scandal?

The Uranium One scandal is a controversy in which the Obama administration permitted “the sale of U.S. uranium mining facilities to Russia’s state atomic energy company,” according to NBC News. Multiple government agencies had to approve the sale and the Clintons were key players in securing the deal.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions initiated further investigation into the scandal last month. He has even looked into the possibility of opening a separate probe to investigate Clinton’s involvement in the deal.

Durbin Says Trump Repeatedly Said “S***hole,” He’s Also Known to be a Liar

It was all anyone could talk about on Friday — President Trump’s alleged comment about “s***hole” countries. Now, it has come out that one of the main leftists claiming Trump made that comment has been show to lie in the past, especially regarding closed door meetings.

Enter Democrat Senator Dick Durbin.

One of his first public lies was exposed in 2013. While Durbin recounted his daughter’s tragic death due to congenital heart failure, he made some false and seemingly politically motivated statements about her health insurance. As reported by The Daily Caller at the time, “(Durbin) described his sick child’s preexisting condition as a reason to support Obamacare last week, but the Illinois Democrat neglected to mention that his late daughter was easily covered by existing insurance, and that he used taxpayer money to reward the hospital that treated her.”

It’s just a little bit sick to use your daughter’s death for political gain.

Now, let’s jump to the present day.

TRENDING: Cali Libs Love Legal Weed, But Then Looked at Sales Tax

After the infamous closed door immigration meeting, Durbin told reporters that Trump referred to African countries as “s***holes.” Durbin called the alleged comment “hate-filled, vile and racist” and said “the most disheartening thing to me is my belief that that was the first time words that hateful had been spoken in the Oval Office of the White House.”

And with that statement, we have lie number two. Back in 2016, the Atlantic published a story citing that then President Barack Obama called the African country of Libya, a “s**t show.” Obama made this comment behind closed doors. Now, Durbin feigns shock at Trump’s statement, calling it the “first time words that hateful” have been spoken in the White House, when he knows full well that’s just not true.

Now we get to the third lie.

Again in 2013, Political ran a story about little liar Durbin.

Do you think Durbin’s past of lying hurts his credibility?

See a section of Politico’s report below:

“In a ‘negotiation’ meeting with the president, one GOP House Leader told [President Barack Obama]: ‘I cannot even stand to look at you,’ Durbin wrote in a post on his Facebook page over the weekend. 

However, both the White House and the House speaker’s office denied Durbin’s account of events.

Asked about the post in the White House daily briefing, press secretary Jay Carney said he checked with a participant of the meeting in question.

‘I looked into this and spoke with somebody who was in that meeting and it did not happen,’ Carney said”

Brendan Buck, spokesman for then-Speaker of the House John Boehner commented on Durbin’s claim. “Sen. Durbin’s accusation is a serious one, and it appears to have been invented out of thin air. The senator should disclose who told him this account of events, retract his reckless allegation immediately, and apologize.” (Emphasis added).

So you mean to say Durbin has made up complete fabrications about closed door meetings in the past?

While Durbin is sticking to his guns concerning his statement about Trump, the president has denied he ever said it.

He took to Twitter to deny the accusation:

So whether Durbin is right or wrong, his credibility deserves to be seriously called into question. After all, he already lied about a closed door meeting with a past president — who’s to say he wouldn’t do it again?

MAGA: Mexico Loses Chrysler Car Plant and Jobs to Americans

Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne said the recent tax reform bill factored into the company’s decision, explaining that they wanted to pass the savings on to employees.

“These announcements reflect our ongoing commitment to our U.S. manufacturing footprint and the dedicated employees who have contributed to FCA’s success,” Marchionne said in a statement, according to The Detroit News.

“It is only proper that our employees share in the savings generated by tax reform and that we openly acknowledge the resulting improvement in the U.S. business environment by investing in our industrial footprint accordingly,” he added.

It is awesome to see Americans winning thanks to common-sense tax reform.

Do you approve of President Trump’s job on the economy?

President Donald Trump praised the move, calling it a “wise decision.”

Vice President also called the company’s decision a “great announcement” and proof that Trump’s “America First” policies are working.

It’s hard to disagree with him.

Ever since the tax reform bill was passed, Americans have been getting plenty of good news.

This is winning — and winning for the average American, no less — no matter how Democrats try to spin it.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX Loses ‘Zuma’ Government Payload

Elon Musk’s SpaceX Loses ‘Zuma’ Government Payload



Elon Musk’s SpaceX appears to have lost a mysterious government payload known as “Zuma” in their latest rocket launch.

TechCrunch reports that SpaceX’s latest rocket had a successful launch but the payload being carried by the rocket, codenamed “Zuma” and believed to be a spy satellite for the U.S. government, was unable to separate from the second stage of the Falcon 9 rocket. The Zuma payload is believed to have fallen back through the Earth’s atmosphere due to the failure to separate, as the second stage of the rocket is designed to fall back to earth and burn up on re-entry. Since the Zuma payload was attached to the second stage, it very well may have been destroyed.

The Falcon 9 rocket launched as scheduled on January 7 and the first stage of the booster landed in SpaceX’s Cape Canaveral facility. The Zuma payload was contracted for launch by Northrop Grumman for the U.S. government, Northrop then selected SpaceX as the carrier of the payload. SpaceX had already been approved for flying U.S. government payloads after the company successfully launched the U.S. Air Force’s X-47B spacecraft.

The Zuma satellite was likely worth billions of dollars, making this the second billion-dollar payload that SpaceX has lost in just two years. In September 2016, Facebook’s internet satellite was destroyed when the Falcon 9 rocket carrying it exploded. Contracts of this nature can be extremely lucrative, meaning that this could be a large setback for Musk’s space exploration company. Currently, SpaceX is facing fierce competition from ULA, a launch provider operated by Boeing and Lockheed Martin, both of which have long relationships with various elements of the U.S. government.

SpaceX’s comment on the issue seemed to imply that the reason the Zuma payload failed to detach in the second stage was not their fault but rather that of Northrop Grumman or perhaps the payload itself. SpaceX said in a statement “We do not comment on missions of this nature; but as of right now reviews of the data indicate Falcon 9 performed nominally.”

Update — Breitbart Tech received the following statement from  SpaceX:

“For clarity: after review of all data to date, Falcon 9 did everything correctly on Sunday night. If we or others find otherwise based on further review, we will report it immediately. Information published that is contrary to this statement is categorically false. Due to the classified nature of the payload, no further comment is possible.”

“Since the data reviewed so far indicates that no design, operational or other changes are needed, we do not anticipate any impact on the upcoming launch schedule. Falcon Heavy has been rolled out to launchpad LC-39A for a static fire later this week, to be followed shortly thereafter by its maiden flight. We are also preparing for an F9 launch for SES and the Luxembourg Government from SLC-40 in three weeks.”

Jack in the Box CEO: ‘It Just Makes Sense’ to Replace Workers with Robots as Wages Increase

Jack in the Box CEO: ‘It Just Makes Sense’ to Replace Workers with Robots as Wages Increase



Jack in the Box CEO Leonard Comma claimed “it just makes sense” to replace human workers in the restaurant industry with robots as the minimum wage increases.

“As we see the rising costs of labor, it just makes sense,” declared Comma at the ICR conference in Orlando, Florida, on Tuesday.

According to Business Insider, “Jack in the Box previously tested technology such as kiosks,” and “the kiosks resulted in a higher average check and helped with efficiency.”

“But at the time Comma said the cost of installing the kiosks wasn’t worth it,” they explained, adding, however, that “with minimum wages increasing, Jack in the Box is reconsidering the use of kiosks and other technology.”

This year, the minimum wage is increasing in 18 states, including Jack in the Box’s home state of California, where a $15 minimum wage will be implemented.

Eventually, all human workers at fast food restaurants could be replaced, with Momentum Machines raising $18 million for their robot-powered restaurant, which includes a robot that can produce over 400 hamburgers an hour, last year.

Last week, it was reported that LG Electronics is planning to sell robots that will replace human workers in hotels, airports, and supermarkets, while in September, a report claimed that four million British private sector jobs could be replaced by robots within ten years.

In 2017, Deutsche Bank CEO John Cryan also declared that a “big number” of his employees would be replaced by robots eventually, and Russian chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov encouraged people to embrace the replacement of human jobs by robots and start focusing on jobs that machines can’t perform.

Julian Assange Granted Ecuadorian Passport – Posts Photo in Nation’s Jersey

Julian Assange Granted Ecuadorian Passport – Posts Photo in Nation’s Jersey

On Wednesday, Julian Assange tweeted a photo of himself wearing an Ecuadorian soccer jersey amid reports that he was granted a passport from the nation on December 21.

The WikiLeaks founder is listed with Ecuador’s Internal Revenue Service under the number 1729926483 as Julian Paul Assange — which would mean that he has been granted citizenship by the nation that has been providing his political asylum.

The news comes one day after it was announced that Ecuador was seeking mediation to figure out a way to get Assange out of the embassy. The sentiment was echoed in another statement issued by the government on Wednesday.

Assange’s Australian passport was previously taken by British police. When he contacted his home nation about obtaining a new one they told him that it could only be given to him if he traveled to Australia to get it — which he was obviously unable to do.

The portrait was the first thing that Assange has tweeted from his personal Twitter account since a cryptic hash on New Year’s Day that was accompanied by the M.I.A. song Paper Planes.

Rumors and speculation from conspiracy theorists have been swirling since the tweet, including people falsely claiming that Assange has left the embassy.

A WikiLeaks legal source close to the publisher told the Gateway Pundit on Tuesday morning that not only are these claims false, the political persecution of WikiLeaks has ramped up substantially.

“It’s false and the actions of the US State Department, Department of Justice and the CIA against WikiLeaks have substantially increased, not decreased, in recent weeks,” the source told Gateway Pundit.

Assange entered the Ecuadorian Embassy in London on June 19, 2012, where he applied and was granted political asylum. Since that time, the building has been encircled by police waiting on standby to arrest him. Many fear that should he be arrested in London, he would be extradited to the United States where he would face harsh penalties for practicing journalism.

In 2016, after 16 months of investigation, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (UNWGAD) concluded that Julian Assange is the victim of arbitrary detention. Not only did the group, made up of lawyers and human rights professionals, release an opinion that Assange should be released, they reported that he should be compensated by the governments of Sweden and the United Kingdom for “deprivation of liberty.”
