‘I hope so,’ Trump says about possible challenge from Kasich, Flake in 2020 By REBECCA MORIN 12/13/2018 02:40 PM EST President Donald Trump is daring other Republicans to run against him in 2020, saying they're not likely to unseat him because of strong support from his base. During an interview on Thursday, Fox News’ Harris Faulkner asked the president about possible primary opponents in the 2020 election, including the outgoing governor of Ohio, John Kasich, and Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, who is retiring. “I’m going to bring up John Kasich and I’m gonna bring up Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, because they say they may run against you in 2020,” ...
Rand Paul Offers to Host State of the Union in the Senate After Pelosi Threatens to Cockblock It in the House

The Jewish media and the Jewish Democrats keep referring to Donald Trump as having a “tantrum,” though you could obviously apply the insult to Chuck and Nancy, who are keeping the government shut down in order to keep America’s borders open to illegal immigrants. When you add that Nancy has now attempted to cockblock Trump from giving the State of the Union address, we are definitely beginning to feel that it is the other side that is throwing the tantrum. The Hill: Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Thursday suggested President Trump hold his State of the Union address in the Senate after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) asked the president to postpone the Jan. 29 address amid ...

When George H.W. Bush arrived in Washington as vice president in January 1981 he seemed little more than a sideshow to Ronald Reagan, the one-time leading man who had been overwhelmingly elected to the greatest stage in the world. Biography after inconclusive biography would be written about Reagan’s two terms, as their authors tried to square the many gaps in his knowledge with his seemingly acute political instincts and the ease with which he appeared to handle the presidency. Bush was invariably written off as a cautious politician who followed the lead of his glamorous boss – perhaps because he assumed that his reward would be a clear shot at the presidency in 1988. He would ...
William Barr’s ‘Deep State’ resume: Cover-ups, covert ops, and pardons

“I started off in Washington at the Central Intelligence Agency and went to law school at night while I was working at CIA,” recalled William Barr in a 2001 oral history for the University of Virginia. Trump’s nominee to be attorney general has what Trump might call “deep state” credentials. Barr came to Langley in 1973. He was a 23-year-old graduate of Columbia with a master’s in political science and Chinese studies. His resume shows he toiled at the CIA by day and attended George Washington University law school at night. The Watergate scandal was ravaging the agency’s reputation and destroying the presidency of Richard Nixon. SPONSORED A close ...

The Daily Caller is taking the rare step of publishing this anonymous op-ed at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose career would be jeopardized by its disclosure. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers. We invite you to submit a question about the essay or our vetting process here. As one of the senior officials working without a paycheck, a few words of advice for the president’s next move at shuttered government agencies: lock the doors, sell the furniture, and cut them down.

Now More Than Ever, It’s Clear the FBI Must Go

The New York Times reports that “[i]n the days after President Trump fired James B. Comey as FBI director, law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president’s behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests.” That’s an interesting way of putting it, but let’s try another: Enraged at the firing of their director, and suspecting the firing might portend a threat to their place and power in the American political establishment, FBI officials went to war with the president of the United States. They redirected taxpayer money and government resources away from anything resembling a ...

(Carolyn Kaster/AP) By Sandy Fitzgerald | Tuesday, 15 January 2019 12:43 PM Attorney General nominee William Barr's confirmation hearing is so far a "home run," Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said Tuesday, adding that he thinks there is a "substantial chance" that some or all of the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote for him. "I think the goal at this point is to get a unanimous committee vote," Dershowitz told ...

Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard has announced her intent to campaign for President of the United States, and the entire political spectrum is shitting bricks about it. Mainstream liberals and neocons are calling her a Putin puppet and Assad’s BFF, leftists and progressives are criticizing her associations with right-wing factions in India and anti-LGBT comments she made in the early 2000s, conspiracy analysts are criticizing her Council on Foreign Relations membership, and the Zionist elements of Trump’s base are openly promising to destroy her candidacy. A lot of others, myself included, got a lot more interested in the 2020 elections when she threw her hat in. I’m ...
F.B.I. Opened Inquiry Into Whether Trump Was Secretly Working on Behalf of Russia

WASHINGTON — In the days after President Trump fired James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president’s behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests, according to former law enforcement officials and others familiar with the investigation. The inquiry carried explosive implications. Counterintelligence investigators had to consider whether the president’s own actions constituted a possible threat to national security. Agents also sought to determine whether Mr. Trump was knowingly working for Russia or had unwittingly fallen under Moscow’s influence. ...

President Trump’s December 18 announcement that he intends to withdraw all U.S. troops from Syria produced some isolated support in the anti-war wings of both parties, but largely provoked bipartisan outrage among in Washington’s reflexively pro-war establishment. Both GOP Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the country’s most reliable war supporters, and Hillary Clinton, who repeatedly criticized President Obama for insufficient hawkishness, condemned Trump’s decision in very similar terms, invoking standard War on Terror jargon. But while official Washington united in opposition, new polling data from Morning Consult/Politico shows a large plurality of Americans support ...
“A Soft Coup Against Donald Trump Is Underway” Declares Major Turkish Daily

Instead of meeting with Bolton, Erdogan used a prescheduled speech in parliament to criticize American proposals that the Kurdish group play a key role in Syria after the US withdraws. Turkey is going on the attack against John Bolton following his weekend antics in the Middle East, which most recently included being snubbed by Erdogan in the Turkish capital. Bolton has now gone “rogue” and tried to undercut Trump’s Syria pullout decision by setting his own preconditions, writes the editorial board of Turkey’s most visible pro-government English language daily newspaper. The pro-Erdogan, AKP-supporting Daily Sabah says “a soft coup against Donald Trump” ...

"Don't upstage the boss" is a powerful maxim in Washington, and usually it applies to President Trump's White House. But National Security Adviser John Bolton doesn't seem to have gotten the memo. "Bolton puts conditions on plan for withdrawal from Syria," reads one recent headline. "Contradicting Trump, Bolton says no withdrawal from Syria until ISIS destroyed, Kurds' safety guaranteed," blares another. "John Bolton says certain conditions must be met before U.S. withdraws from Syria," states a third. Trump has been talking about U.S. troops leaving Syria for months. "We're coming out of Syria very soon," he said in ...

President Trump has announced the withdrawal of US combat troops from the « Greater Middle East », but the Pentagon is still pursuing the implementation of the Rumsfeld-Cebrowski plan. This time the aim is to destroy the States of the « Caribbean Basin ». This is nothing like the overthrow of pro-Soviet regimes, as in the 1970’s, but the destruction of all regional State structures, without consideration for friends or political enemies. Thierry Meyssan observes the preparations for this new series of wars. In a series of previous articles, we presented the SouthCom plan to provoke wars between the Latin-American nations in order to destroy the structures of ...

On the first of April last year I published an article titled “Ignore The Words Of US Presidents. Watch Their Actions Instead.“, about Trump’s claim that his administration would be pulling troops out of Syria “very soon”. Watching the actions and ignoring the words is a personal policy I’ve found very useful in dealing with top government figures who understand that power has nothing to do with truth and everything to do with narrative control, and in that particular case the president’s claims were quickly memory holed after a highly suspicious chemical weapons allegation in Douma a few days later. The president’s words said the troops were ...

The US doesn’t want pro-Turkish forces to slaughter the Kurds, but neither does the US want the Kurds to strike a deal with Assad. The White House-appointed Syria and anti-ISIL coalition envoy James Jeffrey has asked Syrian Kurdish leaders backed by the United States to hold off on making any deals with President Bashar al-Assad’s government while the Trump administration tries to develop its strategy. As we predicted the longer it takes to withdraw troops, the more time the blob of Washington hawks has to put obstacles in the way of a true and full US pullout. Meanwhile according to The Wall Street Journal Turkey is putting pressure on the US to provide “substantial ...

Why did Nancy Pelosi’s daughter say that her mother would cut people’s heads off? Is this supposed to be some quaint reference to… Game of Thrones? Is she threatening to have the President of the United States executed, in the manner of Ned Stark? Probably. Furthermore, how did CNN not deal with the reflections on this bitch’s glasses? Anyway… today is the day. New Congress is being sworn in. Nancy will be Speaker, despite this entire stupid media drama that has been going on since the election that she might not be. She is vowing to push through a bill to restart the government as a first order of business. Senate leader Mitch McConnell has ...

As you may recall, former governor of Massachusetts and failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney is taking a seat in the Senate in a couple weeks. He has reentered the government scene with a fury, penning an op-ed in the WaPo declaring a plan to take revenge on the president for destroying his gay-ass fake “conservative” movement. Basically, he’s going to become the media’s goto “true conservative who thinks Trump is evil” figure, replacing Jeff Flake and Bob Corker and being even more powerful because so many more people recognize him. You can do read The Washington Post column he published on New Year’s Day, if you are into such things, but I just ...

While the Blob freaks out, reports suggest Rand Paul is helping the president keep his campaign promises on war. “Welcome to the world of President Rand Paul,” blared the headline at The Washington Post. In the piece that followed, columnist Josh Rogin took President Donald Trump to task for reportedly listening to the Kentucky senator too much. “Several U.S. officials and people who have spoken directly to Trump since his Syria decision tell me they believe that Paul’s frequent phone conversations with Trump, wholly outside the policy process, are having an outsize influence on the president’s recent foreign policy decisions,” Rogin writes. “Officials ...

The Democrat and scourge of foreign wars is drawing praise from many Trump supporters. Jim Webb—the former Virginia senator, Ronald Reagan Navy secretary, and brief but memorable 2016 Democratic presidential candidate—addressed The American Conservative’s foreign policy conference in November 2016, immediately following Donald Trump’s shock White House victory. He recalled what a friend and fellow Marine told him about Trump: “He said: ‘This guy Donald Trump. The Republicans hate him. The Democrats hate him. The media hates him. I think I found my guy.’” Webb, a Vietnam veteran, then graciously added: “I would like to salute Donald Trump for ...

If you are a regular reader of The Jerusalem Post you would have learned on December 1 that the top officer for all U.S. Navy operations in the Middle East, Vice Admiral Scott Stearney, had been found dead in his home in Bahrain. The Reuters wire story that The Jerusalem Post was simply passing on was an official statement from U.S. Chief of Naval Operations, John Richardson. The statement gave no cause of death or any other information except to assure us that foul play was not suspected. If you get your news from The Washington Post, on the other hand, you wouldn’t even know that much, right up to the time that I am penning this report. Try searching “Scott Stearney ...

They're undermining his positions and pursuing their own agendas. John Bolton should be the first to go. President Donald Trump has at last rediscovered his core foreign policy beliefs and ordered the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria. Right on cue, official Washington had a collective mental breakdown. Neocons committed to war, progressives targeting Trump, and centrists determined to dominate the world unleashed an orgy of shrieking and caterwauling. The horrifying collective scream, a la artist Edvard Munch, continued for days. Trump’s decision should have surprised no one. As a candidate, he shocked the Republican Party establishment by criticizing George W. Bush’s ...

Carl Bernstein: We Have Never Before Had A President Who Acts More Like A "Common Grifter" Posted By Tim Hains On Date December 18, 2018 Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein lamented on CNN Tuesday morning that the President of the United States acts more like a "common grifter" and a "con man" than anything else. "I looked up the definition of grifter the other day in the dictionary, and it seems to suit Donald Trump perfectly in terms of the way he has conducted himself all his life, but including, astonishingly enough, in his presidency," Bernstein said.
