Richard Jewell, the film, is a perfect analogy for what the FBI and DOJ have done to President Trump, Michael Flynn, Carter Page, George Papadopoulos and the American people.

Clint Eastwood’s new film is the true story of how the FBI destroyed the lives of Richard Jewell and his mother after the 1996 bombing at Centennial Park in Atlanta during the summer Olympics.  Jewell was a security guard at the park who noticed an unattended backpack under a bench.  He alerted other police on the scene who determined it was indeed a bomb.  Jewell and the other police immediately began moving people away from the scene.  The bomb did explode; two people were killed and many were injured but Jewell’s actions saved many lives.  

For a few days he was a hero but then the FBI began to focus on Jewell as the perpetrator because he “fit the profile.”  He lived with his mother, wanted to be a policeman, and had lost several security jobs for various reasons, including once for impersonating a police officer.  That is all they had, all they needed; not a shred of real evidence beyond their conviction that he must be guilty because he fit the profile.   

And based on the FBI’s certainty that he was guilty, an inelegant leak to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter, the media mob ran with the story in the cruelest of ways.   There is a scene in the film in which a room full of reporters at the AJC are laughing and applauding three days after the bombing because they were the paper to first print the news that the FBI was focusing on Jewell.   If this scene is an accurate representation, then journalists are even more cold-blooded than previously known.  It appears they can easily revel in a tragedy if they are first to report it.

It is a heart-wrenching film on every level. It is also a perfect analogy for what our current federal law enforcement agencies have done to President Trump, Michael Flynn, Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, and numerous others if they were in any way useful for their desired ends.  The FBI agents in the film skirt the law over and over again in their zeal to indict Jewell.  They lie, trick, bug his home without a warrant, invade his apartment and nearly strip it bare.  They attempt to entrap him over and over again.  

Watching the film, it is impossible not to think that this is exactly what the FBI under Obama did to Flynn, Page, et. al.  The only difference is that the agents in the film torture Jewell because they mistakenly concluded that he must be guilty even though they had no evidence; no trace evidence; nothing connected Jewell to the crime.  The FBI agents who persecuted Flynn, Page and Papadopoulos knew up front that none of them were guilty of anything.  They were just pawns in the plot to frame candidate Trump in order to ensure that Hillary won.  What they did was not only despicable, it was blatantly unconstitutional.  

Once Robert Mueller was appointed Special Counsel, they doubled-down on their evil plan.  The IG report has confirmed what millions of us have known for at least two years, that the Steele dossier was a ridiculous hoax from the outset, a collection on nonsense paid for by Hillary Clinton.   

All those craven television journalists who swore it had been confirmed and corroborated  owe their viewers a thousand apologies.  It is quite likely that none of them asserting its truthfulness had bothered to read it.  If they had, one would assume even they would have realized it was just “bar talk” as the IG report relates what the sub-source called it.  Our media have learned nothing since the Olympic bombing fiasco; not one thing. 

The villains in the film, aside from the actual bomber who was caught six years later, are the FBI and the media.  The parallels to what we have seen over the last three years from the senior leadership of the FBI under Comey, McCabe and their willing flunkies and the Obama DOJ Holder, Lynch and Rosenstein has certainly not been lost on Clint Eastwood.  They are obvious and undeniable.  Our premier law enforcement and intelligence agencies, including Brennan’s CIA, ceased to be about our First and Fourth Amendment rights long ago, let alone national security.  They became, at the top, imperious; they came to see themselves as above the law. 

Lately, all these not-witnesses the Democrats have paraded in front of their silly impeachment committees are feigning allegiance to  the Constitution when we all know they hate the limitations it places on them.  If what the FBI did to Richard Jewell as depicted in the film is true, it would seem that the FBI gave up abiding by the constraints of the Constitution long ago.  

As we now know from the Horowitz report, those involved in the Russia and Ukraine hoaxes were completely untethered to any legal constraints at all.  They knew from the outset that the Steele dossier was phonied-up nonsense but they ran with it.  That is how stupid they all assume we deplorables are.  We are so dumb, in their minds, that there is no need to obey the law, to be honest or fair.  They have long been confident that they will never be caught or punished for their lies and crimes.  We know that many of the perpetrators of the Russia hoax still have their jobs.  If they have not aged out, the agents that framed Richard Jewell are probably still on the job or getting their pensions.  

If there is a sentient person on the planet that does not know the mainstream media is not only corrupt but that it has nothing whatever to do with news reporting, he or she must live in a cave.  The only real journalists are not on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS (except for Catherine Herridge) or NBC.  If there is even one at the NYT or WaPo, it would be good to know.  The real journalists are well outside of the mainstream:  John Solomon, Andrew McCarthy (no relation), Sara Carter, Eric Felten, Lee Smith, Gregg Jarrett, Dan Bongino, Jeff Carlson, and everyone at the Federalist.  There are many more, all available online.  These are the people who have done the heavy lifting and informed the public.  What is astonishing is the fact that the mainstream network and print people ignore what all these actual journalists report.  They assume that because they are not a member of their elite club, they are illegitimate.  Chuck Todd, for example, is oblivious to the fact that Ukraine meddled in the 2016 election for Hillary!  

These folks don’t know half of what those of us who pay attention to all those people who are real investigative reporters know.  Our oh-so-self-important media elites are willfully ignorant.  Just like the FBI agents that railroaded Richard Jewell, the mainstream media has developed a narrative and they are sticking to it, no matter how seriously the actual facts undermine and discredit it.  

Eastwood’s film is a masterpiece.  He has exposed the perfidy of the FBI and the media in 1996 and at the same time shown us that the culture of the higher-ups at the FBI had not changed one bit when they decided to stage a coup against a presidential candidate they did not like. Once Trump won, they doubled-down on their betrayal of the American people and the Constitution.  Do not for one minute take seriously their sudden respect for our founding document.  A truth Dennis Prager often proclaims, “The left is the enemy of America.”  The FBI under Comey, the DOJ under Obama and the mainstream print and digital media are the public face of that enemy.  Do not miss this film.  Paul Walter Hauser as Jewell deserves an Oscar for his very fine performance.

Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report contains so much to be outraged by that it’s hard to sustain the energy. And it goes way beyond his mind-numbing catalogue of FBI abuses.

To take just one example, as Tucker Carlson pointed out, Horowitz’s report verifies that Obama’s CIA director John Brennan outright lied when he testified that the Steele dossier played no role in the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment. Brennan’s perjury here has been public knowledge for a long time now. Paul Sperry reported on it way back in February 2018.

But now Brennan’s lie under oath before Congress is officially documented in the IG report. Why isn’t the DoJ finally going after Brennan for it? What possible reason could there be to wait for Prosecutor John Durham to finish his investigation into the FBI’s Russia probe before nailing Brennan about his lie to Congress?

The 2017 ICA is the evidentiary basis for the whole garbage “Russians hacked the DNC” narrative. Hillary Clinton constantly regurgitates the lie that the ICA was the product of all 17 US intelligence agencies so she can delegitimize both Trump’s presidency and the massive volume of appalling information about her character and competence WikiLeaks released. But in the real world outside her decrepit odious deceiving mind, the ICA was produced by a bunch of analysts Brennan chose specifically for the task.

So, Brennan’s perjury when he falsely testified that the ICA wasn’t based on opposition research paid for by the wretched woman’s own campaign is a very big deal. But Roger Stone is going to jail for lying about stuff that literally had no relevance to the investigation for which he was testifying? That’s just one of an unbelievably large array of serious crimes that nothing is being done about. The GOP appears to be content to yell “In your face, Comey!” while the DoJ does nothing.

If you tried to sit down and list all of it the open-and-shut serious crimes that we’re waiting for Durham’s investigation to finish before the DoJ gets off its duff and does something about them you’d go mad from despair and frustration. Mueller didn’t wait till he was all finished before destroying Paul Manafort’s and Roger Stone’s lives for crimes that were all either trivial or had absolutely no bearing on the matters he was investigating. He came down on them as hard as possible as soon as he could. He even conducted a pre-dawn paramilitary raid to arrest 67-year-old Stone at which CNN just happened to be present in advance with cameras ready to roll.

Yet Brennan is getting paid by CNN to spread more lies, discord, and sedition because for some reason we have to wait for Durham to come down from the mountain before the DoJ will start prosecuting even one of the many clear cases involving monumental and outrageous abuses of power. When Durham’s report comes out, Brennan and the rest ought to be in already in prison and merely learning how much more time they are likely to face.

Maybe when Durham’s denouement to this sickening saga of relentless government lawlessness comes it will be spectacular and totally worth the wait. But it’s hard not to believe it’s going to be any less of an obscene disappointment than everything else we’ve seen so far.

First Lady Melania Trump was an angel in the White House as she and President Trump welcomed guests to one of their many Christmas parties this holiday season.

Melania Trump greeted guests at the Grand Foyer of the White House this week for the Congressional Ball wearing an angelic crystal-embellished silk crepe cape gown by Reem Acra. The gown is now sold out but once retailed for more than $8,000.

Mrs. Trump paired the gown with silver metallic pointed toe stilettos which she previously wore for a black-tie dinner in Tokyo, Japan during her trip to the island nation this past summer.

Caped, embroidered gowns have become somewhat of a signature for Mrs. Trump, as she and her style adviser Hervé Pierre are drawn to the old Hollywood glamour of drapery and glitter. For example, Mrs. Trump has worn a caped gown in England, for a dinner at the U.S. Embassy in London, and at a dinner this year in Tokyo.

In a less formal, more high fashion moment weeks ago, Mrs. Trump wore a bright yellow Valentino cape straight off the Milan, Italy runway for a reception with Queen Elizabeth II in London.

Chaos erupted on the streets of London last night, as socialist anti-Brexit protestors violently clashed with police, chanting slogans like “not my prime minister” and “one solution, revolution”.

Socialists, Antifa, and anti-Brexiteers took to the streets to show their disapproval of the British people’s democratic will while chanting “this is what democracy looks like”, following Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s landslide election victory over the far-left Labour Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

One woman told Breitbart London: “Fuck Boris, fuck racism, fuck homophobia, fuck all you pigs”.

“[Boris Johnson] is a pig and I’m so ashamed that he’s the prime minister of my country, it’s disgusting and I wish him the worst, I wish him a horrible death”, said another woman.

“To see working-class people care about Boris Johnson, they’re shooting themselves in the face, it’s disgusting and yeah I wish him the worst. Go fuck yourself Boris Johnson, honestly, what a cunt”, she added.

Holding placards with Socialist Worker slogans like “Defy Tory Rule” and “Open the Borders, No Deportations”, hundreds of protestors outside Number 10 Downing Street broke through barricades, blocking traffic and violently clashing with police.

At least two protestors were arrested during last night’s protest, one for assaulting a police officer and another for brawling, the Telegraph reports.

In Breitbart London’s exclusive video, London’s Metropolitan Police are seen using their batons and throwing protestors to the ground as the left-wing mob descended upon them.

At one point, someone can be heard possibly goading the protesters, yelling “You’re not in sociology class anymore” as they jostle with police.

The protest in London was accompanied by a similar protest in Glasgow, Scottland, on the same evening.

In a speech given after his stunning electoral defeat over the 70-year-old socialist, Jeremy Corby, Prime Minister Johnson called for unity.

“To those who did not vote for us, or for me, and who wanted and perhaps still want to remain in the EU… I want you to know that we in this One Nation Conservative government will never ignore your good and positive feelings of warmth and sympathy towards the other nations on Europe,”, said Johnson.

“I frankly urge everyone one either side of [an] increasingly arid argument, I urge everyone to find closure and to let the healing begin,” he added.

Speaking in May, Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage warned against the increasing violence of the left after getting “milkshaked“.

“For a civilised democracy to work you need the losers’ consent,” he said. “Politicians not accepting the referendum result have led to this.”

“Physical assault is now considered acceptable — they have a view, they are right… they feel entitled to behave like this. Something has gone very badly wrong”, Farage said.
