Bernie Sanders' immense fundraising haul reflects a resilient movement Evan Halper and Janet Hook, Los Angeles Times on Apr 2, 2019 WASHINGTON -- Bernie Sanders put to rest any suggestion that the movement behind him has faded since his first run for president as his campaign team announced Tuesday that he had raised an immense amount of cash from a huge number of donors. Sanders' campaign collected $18.2 million from 525,000 donors – most of them under age 39 – in the first quarter of 2019, campaign officials said. The intimidating show of financial force will likely position Sanders to compete aggressively in every key state, giving him more resources than most of ...

Chicago elects city's first black woman mayor Yahoo News Video Scroll back up to restore default view. CHICAGO (AP) — Former federal prosecutor Lori Lightfoot easily won the Chicago mayor's race Tuesday, earning support from every part of the city to defeat a longtime political insider and become the first black woman and openly gay person to lead the nation's third-largest city. Lightfoot, who had never been elected to public office, delivered a commanding victory over Toni Preckwinkle, who served in the City Council for 19 years before becoming Cook County Board president. Preckwinkle also is chairwoman of the county Democratic Party. Lightfoot promised to rid City ...

Kiev, Ukraine -- Early results Monday in Ukraine's presidential election showed a comedian with no political experience maintaining his strong lead against the incumbent in the first round, setting the stage for a presidential runoff in three weeks. With over 70 percent of the polling stations counted, Volodymyr Zelenskiy had 30 percent support in Sunday's vote, while President Petro Poroshenko was a distant second with just over 16 percent. Ex-Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko trailed behind in third with 13 percent support. The strong showing for the 41-year-old Zelenskiy reflects the public longing for a fresh leader who has no links to Ukraine's corruption-ridden political ...

The tides are shifting. Something’s in the wind. And it’s not just the fecund vapors of spring. The political soap opera of RussiaGate ended like a fart in a windstorm last weekend, leaving Mr. Mueller’s cheerleaders de-witched, bothered, and bewildered. And then a crude attempt was made to cram the Jussie Smollett case down Chicago’s memory hole. These two unrelated hoaxes emanating out of Wokester Land may signal something momentous: the end of the era when anything goes and nothing matters. Welcome to the new era of consequences! All of a sudden, a whole lot of people who have been punking the public-at-large will have to answer for their behavior. Despite the fog ...
Did Mueller Know There Was No Trump-Russia Collusion Before The Midterms?

Now that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has concluded that there was no criminal collusion, the question arises: When during their exhaustive 22-month investigation did prosecutors realize they had no case? Almost from the start, Democrats and their media echo chamber have moved the goal posts on collusion.The original allegation – the political narrative that the Clinton campaign, through Obama administration alchemy, honed into a counterintelligence investigation – was that that the Trump campaign was complicit in Russia’s “cyberespionage” attacks on the 2016 election. But there was no evidence that candidate Trump and his surrogates had anything to do with ...
Hillary's very own Russian collusion connection

The Clinton can is as full of worms as her harshest critics ever imagined it was, and now the worms are turning. Washington is agog, liberal and conservative alike, as the details of the spreading story of confusion, chicanery and crime in Hillary’s campaign for president emerge from the dark and fetid places so abundant in the capital. Hillary thought she had the presidency in the can, as her friends in Hollywood might have put it, but it turns out that there was no room in the can for a mere presidency. There were too many interesting worms. It’s turning out that there was in fact Russian meddling in the election last year, and it was not meddling in behalf of Donald Trump, ...
Taibbi: As the Mueller Probe Ends, New Russiagate Myths Begin

Donald Trump couldn’t have asked for a juicier 2020 campaign issue On Sunday, Attorney General William Barr sent a letter to Congress, summarizing the findings of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. The most telling section, quoted directly from Mueller’s report, read: “[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.” That one sentence should end a roughly 33-month national ordeal (the first Russiagate stories date back to July 2016) in which the public was encouraged, both by officials and the press, to believe Donald Trump ...

They want the full Mueller report and its underlying documents to be made public.The rally ...

The Narrative is dead! Long live The Narrative! That’s what played on CNN, NBC, and The New York Times yesterday as they struggled to digest the parting meal Robert Mueller served to the RussiaGate lynch mob: a nothingburger with a side of crow-flavored fries. Mr. Mueller was careful, though, to leave a nice red poison cherry on top with his statement that “…while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.” Mr. Mueller, who ought to know better, could not be more in error on that too-fine-a-point. The official finding that no crime was committed is, ipso facto, an exoneration, and to impute otherwise is a ...

Just days after a high-level meeting in Rome this week, during which Russia reiterated a grave warning to the US – Moscow will not tolerate American military intervention to topple the Venezuelan government with whom it is allied - it appears Russia is taking no chances with its South American ally. After the Rome meeting, Ryabkov said bluntly: “We assume that Washington treats our priorities seriously, our approach and warnings.” One of those warnings delivered by Ryabkov is understood to have been that no American military intervention in Venezuela will be tolerated by Moscow. For his part, Abrams sounded as if he had emerged from the meeting after having been given a ...

Google flipped seats, shifted millions of votes to Dems in 2018 midterms, researcher tells RT Google’s biased search algorithm actually flipped seats in the 2018 US midterm elections, according to a researcher who found the search engine’s “dramatically biased” results could have shifted over 78 million votes to Democrats. “Upwards of 25 percent of the national elections in the world are being decided without people’s knowledge by Google’s search algorithm,” senior research psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein of the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology told RT, calling the search engine the “deciding factor” in close ...

Robert Mueller has come up empty handed, exposing two years of relentless Russiagate propaganda and the media that sold it. The short version? Mueller is done. His report unambiguously states there was no collusion or obstruction. He was allowed to follow every lead unfettered in an investigation of breathtaking depth. It cannot be clearer. The report summary states, “The Special Counsel’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 US Presidential Election…the report does not recommend any further indictments, nor did the Special Counsel obtain any sealed ...

Barr prepares to give Mueller report 'conclusions' to Congress Chris Megerian, Los Angeles Times on Mar 24, 2019 WASHINGTON -- Attorney General William Barr planned Sunday to send Congress what he considers the "principal conclusions" from the Russia investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller, according to a person familiar with his plans. Barr spent the weekend reviewing Mueller's confidential report, which was submitted to him Friday, and preparing a letter summarizing the special counsel's work. The letter is the first step in what will likely become a prolonged tug-of-war over fully disclosing the findings and defining what they mean for ...
How to end our national nightmare — probe Hillary Clinton again

Now that special counsel Robert Mueller has completed his investigation, it is tempting to breathe a sigh of relief and assume that our long national nightmare is over. Resist the temptation, the assumption is false. We are not close to the end. Not by a long shot. In fact, I believe the last two years, as traumatic as they were, will prove to be the easier part of the nightmare, because Mueller dealt only with whether Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign conspired with Russia to swing the election. Based on what we know so far, especially that no more indictments are coming, it appears that Mueller’s answer is no, there was no collusion or obstruction of justice. If true, this is an ...

The alliance bypassed the UN under a “humanitarian” pretext, launching aggression that claimed thousands of civilian. Years on, Serbia still bears deep scars of the NATO bombings which, as the alliance put it, were aimed at “preventing instability spreading” in Kosovo. Victims of NATO Victims of NATO Codenamed ...
Pure Aryan Master Race Liz Warren Endorses the “Tarrant Plan,” Pledges to Arrest White Nationalists for Their Beliefs

Last year, Democrat candidate Elizabeth Warren publicly released her DNA test results after Donald Trump had repeatedly accused her of being a “wagon-burning prairie nigger.” She was shown to be a pure member of the Aryan race, with the 1/1012th bit that might be unpure within the margin of error. She is sticking to her race and endorsing the meticulously planned plan for America laid out by Knight Templar Brenton Tarrant. On Twitter on Monday, Warren went beyond the standard line of “shut down the internet to stop hate” and said she would begin prosecuting white nationalists for their beliefs. The only possible reason she could want to do this is to release a string ...

The Democrat dark horse and universal basic income advocate is finding support among former pro-Trump memesters. The first time I wrote about 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, I said he “has about as much chance of becoming the Democrat nominee as this author does of becoming the UFC Heavyweight Champion.” And while Yang’s chances of facing President Donald Trump in the general election are still slim, the betting lines have the tech millionaire and political newcomer ahead of Kirsten Gillibrand and just behind Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, and Elizabeth Warren. That’s made this author, at least, look excessively dismissive. What happened? First, Yang ...

Down about Trump hyping up this attempt to break the world record of number of Jewish cocks a man can fit in his mouth at once? It’s time to get woke, join the Yang Gang and get $1000 free every month. Andrew Yang, leader of the Yang Gang, is your man in 2020. Over the last week, as Trump has repeated this statement that he’s going to bring in immigrants to staff alleged factories, I’ve been increasingly losing the last bit of hope I had in the man. It really feels like having your teeth kicked out, hearing him say this. He’s said it five times now. The first time I was thinking “okay, whatever.” The second time I was increasingly uncomfortable. But by the ...

Expelling Orban from the EPP will only give him more strength. It will only give Euroskeptics more ammunition. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been under fire from the European Union for years for his opposition to German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s open immigration policy. A policy which she herself has had to pull back on. And no matter how far Merkel has changed her stance and acceded to the reality of the damage her policy has created, Orban is still guilty of the sin of non-compliance. Actually, he’s guilty of a whole lot more than that. Because Orban has not only stepped on the third-rail of European politics he’s stomped up and down while taking a ...
House votes in favor of illegal immigrant voting

House Democrats voted Friday to defend localities that allow illegal immigrants to vote in their elections, turning back a GOP attempt to discourage the practice. The vote marks a stunning reversal from just six months ago, when the chamber — then under GOP control — voted to decry illegal immigrant voting. “We are prepared to open up the political process and let all of the people come in,” Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat and hero of the civil rights movement, told colleagues as he led opposition to the GOP measure. The 228-197 vote came as part of a broader debate on Democrats’ major legislative priority this year, HR 1, the “For the People ...

Media Ignores, Mishandles Allegations Of Campaign Finance Violations By Ocasio-Cortez 3:56 PM 03/07/2019 | Media Amber Athey | White House Correspondent Media outlets are largely ignoring or mishandling reports that Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her chief of staff were controlling a PAC at the same time the PAC was working to get her elected. The Daily Caller News Foundation reported Monday that Ocasio-Cortez and her chief of staff retained control of the Justice Democrats PAC, which is credited with propelling Ocasio-Cortez to victory, while running to unseat incumbent Democrat Joe Crowley in 2018. Former FEC commissioners told the DCNF that if ...

Sanders was on "The View" to talk about his campaign for president, which is now about a week and a half old. "I suspect not. Hillary has not called me," Sanders said when asked if he would meet with Clinton, to whom he lost the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. "Look, we have differences. She has ...

Ft Collins, CO –- “A King, by disallowing Acts of this salutary nature, from being the father of his people, degenerated into a Tyrant and thus forfeits all rights to his subjects' obedience.” ~ Patrick Henry, 1777 A recent issue of the Washington Post listed the Post’s pick of the top fifteen Democrat candidates for our 2020 presidential election. More are joining the race almost daily, but these fifteen represent “front-runners,” on the Democrat side, at least according to Post’s editors. As one scrolls down through this list, a solitary fact immediately jumps out: Every single one is venomously anti-gun and anti Second Amendment. Without ...
