The Downing of Malaysian Airlines MH17: Mahathir Opens a “Ukraine Political Pandora’s Box”

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad sent shock waves in a public speech where he dismissed a Dutch “official” report blaming Russia for the downing of Malaysia Air Flight 17 in July, 2014, weeks after a CIA-led coup toppled the elected President of Ukraine. Despite the downplaying in western mainstream media of the Malaysian leader’s comments, it is creating a major new potential embarrassment for ex-Vice President Joe Biden and his Ukraine collaborators such as Igor Kolomoisky, in their flimsy effort to blame Russia for their own misdeeds. During a dialogue with the Japanese Foreign Correspondent Club May 30, Mahathir challenged the Dutch government to provide ...

America Is So Delusional The coastguard helicopters aren't coming for America, so inflate your life jackets and prepare for a long swim – it may be awhile before you reach any shore of safe harbor. The United States is at the heart of such a complex situation that I find it hard to come up with any solution for it that doesn't entail totally deflating the country's bogus mantras and delusional brainwashing propaganda, before people can finally look at their situation with a clarity that allows for real change and meaningful plans. The fact that you are reading this letter tells me that you've seen the light and understand that this country's productivity, talent, ...
Obama 2.0: Biden Promises To Cure Cancer if Elected President

Obama 2.0: Biden Promises To Cure Cancer if Elected President Former Vice President Joe Biden is like a human wrecking ball. He has to be the most reckless, off-the-cuff candidate in recent history. The pundits may claim he’s a “gut politician,” but we all know the man cannot be trusted to speak words in front of other humans. Biden’s remarks at a campaign rally Tuesday in Ottumwa, Iowa were no exception. “I’ve worked so hard in my career, that I promise you, if I’m elected president you’re gonna see single most important thing that changes America, we’re going to cure cancer,” Biden said, according to the Washington Examiner.

Trump Admin’s Criminal Justice Reform ‘Overwhelmingly’ Helping Black Prisoners By Joe Saunders Published June 10, 2019 at 10:38am These are the kinds of numbers that give Democrats nightmares. With their hopes for defeating President Donald Trump in 2020 depending largely on turning out the black vote in its usual monolithic numbers, Democrats have been relentless in trying to paint the Trump administration as an unadulterated evil for African-Americans. But a report released this month by the U.S. Sentencing Commission just made that job many, many times harder. The report found that the First Step Act of 2018, a criminal sentencing reform bill passed by a ...

It cannot be emphasized too often: Russiagate—allegations that the American president has been compromised by the Kremlin, which may even have helped to put him in the White House—is the worst and (considering the lack of actual evidence) most fraudulent political scandal in American history. We have yet to calculate the damage Russsiagate has inflicted on America’s democratic institutions, including the presidency and the electoral process, and on domestic and foreign perceptions of American democracy, or on US-Russian relations at a critical moment when both sides, having “modernized” their nuclear weapons, are embarking on a new, more dangerous, and largely ...

Barr asking questions the liberal media don't want asked Michael Barone on Jun 7, 2019 "I'm amused," Attorney General William Barr told CBS News' Jan Crawford, "by these people who make a living by disclosing classified information, including the names of intelligence operatives, wringing their hands about whether I'm going to be responsible in protecting intelligence sources and methods." He went on after further questions: "Well, the media reaction is strange. Normally the media would be interested in letting the sunshine in and finding out what the truth is. And usually the media doesn't care that much about protecting intelligence sources ...
Rand Paul: Deep State Ignored Order to Pull John Brennan’s Security Clearance

Appearing Tuesday on CNN, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) slammed the intelligence community over a recent report claiming it defied an order from President Donald Trump to revoke the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan. A partial transcript is as follows: HOST BRIANNA KEILAR: I want to ask you, because you’ve been really a critic of John Brennan, who has been a critic of President Trump. You’ve not been a big fan of him. You’ve said that. He’s the former CIA director under President Obama. What do you think about this recent New York Times story that Brennan still has his security clearance? This was such a big, I guess, promise of the president’s, ...
Libertarians Forged an Alliance With Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. Was It a Deal With the Devil?

Free market reformers and authoritarian nationalists battle it out to reshape Brazil. On the morning of March 14, 2016, in a tiny office in Rio de Janeiro, a libertarian businessman named Winston Ling met with Jair Bolsonaro, a right-wing congressman running a longshot campaign to be president of Brazil. Some of Ling's closest associates had pleaded with him not to sit down with Bolsonaro, who was infamous for public comments praising torture and dictatorship and denigrating women and minorities. Just associating with him, they feared, would tarnish Brazil's libertarian movement, which was drawing new followers at an astounding pace and winning mainstream recognition. Three ...
In a Blow to Maduro, Russia Withdraws Key Defense Support to Venezuela

Russia has been one of Maduro’s major supporters in its standoff with the U.S. MOSCOW—Russia has withdrawn key defense advisers from Venezuela, an embarrassment for President Nicolás Maduro as Moscow weighs the leader’s political and economic resilience against growing U.S. pressure. Russian state defense contractor Rostec, which has trained Venezuelan troops and advised on securing arms contracts, has cut its staff in Venezuela to just a few dozen, from about 1,000 at the height of cooperation between Moscow and Caracas several years ago, said a person close to the Russian defense ministry. The gradual pullout, which has escalated over the last several months, ...

Cornel West: Biden Will Lose Black Voters to Trump if He Doesn’t ‘Get Off His Symbolic Crack Pipe’ By Ryan Ledendecker Published June 1, 2019 at 12:47pm The 2020 presidential race is heating up — and so is former Vice President Joe Biden’s “symbolic crack pipe,” according to Harvard University philosopher Dr. Cornel West. West, a leading liberal activist, told the Washington Examiner for an article published Wednesday that Biden, who is leading the 2020 Democrat field in most national polls, is headed for serious trouble if he continues to defend a crime law he wrote in 1994. According to West, the former vice president can expect low turnout from ...

Dowd calls out House Judiciary Chair Rep Jerry Nadler and shared what President Trump told him over the phone last night. President Trump's one-time attorney asked Michael Flynn's lawyer for a "heads up" if the former national security adviser intended to give Special Counsel Robert Mueller information damaging to the commander-in-chief, according to a transcript of a ...

The big news this week, of course, was Robert Mueller’s surprise press conference, wherein the special prosecutor essentially repeated the contents of his report, proclaiming that, “As set forth in the report, after the investigation, if we had confidence that the president did not clearly commit a crime, we would have said so.” “Did you see this week?

In an interview with CBS News — his first network interview since being sworn in — Barr insisted Mueller could have concluded Trump broke the law without actually charging him, or could have cleared him of wrongdoing.

How the War Party Broke Trump

He's the closest thing we've had to an antiwar president in 40 years—but the entrenched interests have proven too strong. From my distant vantage point in New England, tracking the daily fluctuations of the ongoing Iran war scare poses a challenge. It’s that old problem of distinguishing between signals and noise. These days there is noise aplenty emanating from Washington. That the prospect of yet another Gulf war competes for bandwidth with intensifying efforts to impeach President Trump makes it more difficult still to know what exactly is going on. My bet is that an actual shooting war involving the United States and the Islamic Republic will not occur. Granted, we ...

2019 Was Rolling Thunder’s Final Ride, Unless President Trump Gets His Way 6:47 PM 05/26/2019 | US Kerry Picket | Reporter WASHINGTON — Hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists from all over the country descended upon Washington, D.C. Sunday to engage in what might well be the final annual Rolling Thunder event—a ride that started in 1988 to pay tribute to service members killed in action or held as prisoners of war. The event could continue though, if President Donald Trump gets his way. Trump indicated the ride will happen again next year, in a tweet Sunday morning. “The Great Patriots of Rolling Thunder WILL be coming back to Washington, D.C. next year, ...

A Tribute To Michael Avenatti’s Dead Presidential Candidacy (2018-2019) 11:33 PM 05/23/2019 | Media Mike Brest | Reporter There was a time when many in the establishment media viewed disgraced celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti as the country’s savior from President Donald Trump. Around this time last year, many were speculating that Avenatti could take on Trump in 2020. Much has changed since then. WATCH A TRIBUTE VIDEO: During a segment last May, MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle stated, “I am intrigued, I’m excited, I’m scared, I’m a little grossed out. And you know what? I owe Michael Avenatti an apology. For the last few weeks, I’ve been ...

This must be the worst cover-up of all time By Rich Lowry on May 23, 2019 President Donald Trump may be guilty of many things, but a cover-up in the Mueller probe isn't one of them. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, attempting to appease forces in the Democratic Party eager for impeachment, is accusing him of one, with all the familiar Watergate connotations. The charge is strange, not to say incomprehensible, in light of the fact that Congress is in possession of a 448-page report produced by the Trump Department of Justice cataloging the alleged obstruction that Congress now wants to investigate. The report is so exhaustive that many members of Congress haven't had the time to read ...
Guess Who Doesn’t Want War With Iran? Trump Supporters
Post Date: 2019-05-24 10:17:01 by Ada

Supporters of Donald Trump who hoped that he would adopt a new, less interventionist foreign policy for the United States have ample reasons to feel disappointed. The administration’s increasingly belligerent policy toward Iran, which may lead to war, is just the most recent case in which the president has betrayed those supporters. During his presidential campaign in 2016, Trump repeatedly condemned Washington’s regime-change wars and nation-building crusades. Much to the shock and fury of the other Republican candidates, he did not confine his criticism to policies that Barack Obama’s administration pursued; instead he excoriated George W Bush for the Iraq war and the ...

Trump: Dems, 'Corrupt Press' Got Played on 'Rage Narrative' (AP) By Eric Mack | Thursday, 23 May 2019 10:45 AM Ostensibly placeboing resistant Democrats and the "fake news media," President Donald Trump was purposely "calm" in his walk out with Democratic leadership only to see them claim "rage" and have the "fake and corrupt press" report it that way, as expected. The claim came via tweet Thursday: "I was extremely calm [Wednesday] with my meeting with Pelosi and Schumer, knowing that they would say I was raging, which they always do, along with their partner, the Fake News Media. Well, so many stories about the ...

The hot-air figures the U.S. used for its regime change efforts in Venezuela failed to do their job. The New York Times declares their movement "deflated". Eleven hours after the story went live (and the White House had called?) the headline changed. While it still repeats propaganda claims, the report makes clear that Guaidó is lacking public support: CARACAS, Venezuela — It was a daring gambit: Juan Guaidó, Venezuela’s opposition leader, stood by a military base alongside dozens of uniformed officers and political allies, calling for a military uprising against President Nicolás Maduro. ... Three weeks later, Mr. Guaidó is shuttling ...

Without Congress's approval, he has no legal authority to start a war, no matter what John Bolton seems to think. We’re told that the Trump administration’s brinksmanship on Iran stems from a power grab by President Donald Trump’s undeterrable national security advisor, John Bolton. And it’s true that Bolton has never met a “preventive” war he didn’t like and that there’s every reason to suspect him of scheming to create an excuse for one. But lately it’s getting hard to distinguish President Trump from “President Bolton.” “If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran,” Trump rage-tweeted Sunday. ...

No wonder he felt right at home with Brennan and Obama. “In college, I was left of center,” explained James Comey in an interview with New York magazine, “and through a gradual process I found myself more comfortable with a lot of the ideas and approaches the Republicans were using.” Comey voted for Jimmy Carter in 1980, but says that four years later, in 1984, “I voted for Reagan — I’d moved from Communist to whatever I am now. I’m not even sure how to characterize myself politically. Maybe at some point, I’ll have to figure it out.” Comey was once a communist. And look deeper at his statement: “I’d moved from Communist to ...
