The act stripped all German Jews of their civil rights and the swastika was made the official symbol of Nazi Germany. 1940 - The German Luftwaffe suffered the loss of 185 planes in the Battle of Britain. The change in tide forced Hitler to abandon his plans for invading Britain.
The former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Joe DiGenova, knows what he is talking about when it comes to legal liability, and he has the guts to lay out in straight talk what really happened with the conspiracy to swing a presidential election, cover up the effort, and take out a duly elected president. Last night, on Sean Hannity's show, he explained the fate awaiting not just the Strzok-Page lovebirds, but a range of officials, including James Comey. The five minutes or so, including a bonus comment by David Limbaugh, of the video embedded below offers a very rewarding payoff for your time.
Newly revealed text messages show Strzok discussing media leaks with his paramour, former FBI attorney Lisa Page. “I had literally just gone to find this phone to tell you I want to talk to you about media leak strategy with DOJ before you go,” one of the texts reads.
“The term ‘media leak strategy’ in Mr. Strzok’s text refers to a Department-wide initiative to detect and stop leaks to the media," Aitan Goelman, Strzok's attorney, said on Tuesday. “The president and his enablers are once again peddling unfounded conspiracy theories to mislead the American people.”
"...Writing for NBC News, Kristina Dahl contended, “With each new storm, we are forced to question whether this is our new, climate change-fueled reality, and to ask ourselves what we can do to minimize the toll from supercharged storms.” ...But like most claims regarding global warming, the real effect is small, probably temporary, and most likely due to natural weather patterns. Any changes in hurricanes over 70 years, even if real, can easily be part of natural cycles — or incomplete data... ...Until 2017, the United States went 11 years without a major hurricane strike — something that is statistically very improbable. Nine years into that 11-year hurricane drought, a NASA scientist computed it as a 1-in-177-year event. My point is that nature varies, and unusual things happen sometimes. Now it’s fashionable to blame stalling hurricanes on global warming...
...Well, aren’t we being told these storms are getting stronger on average?
The answer is no.
The 30 most costly hurricanes in U.S. history (according to federal data from January) show no increase in intensity over time. The monetary cost of damages has increased dramatically in recent decades, but that is due to increasing population, wealth and the amount of vulnerable infrastructure. It’s not due to stronger storms. If humans have any influence on hurricanes at all, it probably won’t be evident for many decades to come. Natural variability is simply too large. This should not be surprising given that humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions have caused only a 1 percent change in the natural energy flows coursing through the climate system."
Michael Moore Accused of Stiffing, Smearing Vendors: ‘All I Would Like Is to Be Paid’ "Last week ...Michael Moore debuted his latest film, Fahrenheit 11/9. ...Simultaneously, critics of the documentarian are calling hypocrisy, insisting that Moore’s conduct is at odds with his reputation as a champion of the people. In early June, Boston Light & Sound, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Moore’s Traverse City Film Festival. In the claim, BL&S stated that a total payment of $256,500 had been due by September 30, 2017, for their work on the 2017 film festival. ...However, rather than paying the contract balance, or any part thereof, in response to demand letters, TCFF attempted to avoid fulfilling its contractual obligation and the debt incurred by threatening to distribute false and defamatory stories to harm BL&S’ good name and business relationships.” The Traverse City Film Festival has denied these allegations..."
The U.S. surpassed Saudi Arabia to become the world’s largest producer of crude oil, according to preliminary estimates from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
On MSNBC, host Chris Hayes invited meteorologist Eric Holthaus on to argue global warming is making hurricanes worse, and that President Trump is to blame.
"We have a president that is denying the impacts of, you know, this hurricane season last year and this year and actively making the problem worse by, you know, not addressing this root cause of worsening storms,” Holthaus told to a nodding Hayes.
On CNN, political analyst John Avlon, in a segment titled "Reality Check," suggested Trump is at fault for Hurricane Florence, and that his climate policies could kill up to 80,000 people per decade... In the Washington Post, the papereditorializedthat Trump is "complicit" in Hurricane Florence's anticipated destruction.
"When it comes to extreme weather, Mr. Trump is complicit," the editors wrote...
Peter Hasson posted this report at the Daily Caller yesterday:
CNN IGNORES SWITCHBLADE ATTACK ON GOP CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE
More than 24 hours after authorities announced the arrest of a California man who allegedly tried to stab a Republican congressional candidate, CNN has yet to inform its audience of the story.
Farzad Fazeli, 35, allegedly made disparaging remarks about the Republican Party before pulling out a switchblade and attempting to stab Rudy Peters at a festival Sunday, according to the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office…
But by Wednesday evening, CNN had published zero articles on the attempted stabbing. A Daily Caller News Foundation review of CNN’s on-air coverage Tuesday and Wednesday found zero segments informing viewers of the attack.
As of this morning, there’s still nothing. See the screen cap below:
Do you think CNN would ignore this story if the political roles were reversed? Imagine if a Trump supporter tried to stab a Democrat candidate for Congress. Does anyone believe CNN would ignore that? They would likely turn it into a lead story and run it for days."
The men and women here know the Muslim Brotherhood’s motto is "Jihad is our way and dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope." This is who some in the press and some in the political world urge us to think of as a moderate group. Well, read the Brotherhood’s explanatory memorandum on the general strategic goal for the Brotherhood in North America. It says, "the process of settlement is a civilization jihad process. The Muslim Brotherhood must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believer."
Muslim Brotherhood does not hide that they are a terrorist organization.
Here’s what the Department of Justice said about the Muslim Brotherhood during the Holy Land Foundation trial: "The government’s case includes testimony that in the early 1990’s, Hamas’ parent organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, planned to establish a network of organizations within the U.S. to spread a militant Islamist message and to raise money for Hamas."
The University of Colorado-Boulder added "inclusive" terms to its library catalog to expand beyond the "problematic" term "illegal aliens"
The "more ethical" search terms include "noncitizen" and "undocumented immigrants."
The University of Colorado-Boulder has removed the term “illegal aliens” from its library catalog in favor of “more ethical subject headings” to foster an “inclusive atmosphere.”
Library subject headings are used to help researchers find relevant material by using certain keywords.
Now, at UC Boulder, student researchers can use terms like “noncitizen,” and “undocumented immigrants” to find documents that previously were only identified by the legal designation of “illegal alien.”... Read on.
"As we absorb the corrupt evidence within what the DOJ, FBI, CIA and intelligence community was willing to do to stop the Trump administration;
as we absorb the totality of all methods deployed by the professional political establishment to destroy Donald J Trump;
as we begin to quantify the scale of corruption within our political institutions, and continue bearing witness to the ongoing war against our the presidency;
it is worthwhile revisiting a warning, a call to arms, from two-years-ago."
The lies, the severity of hatred and opposition, now make much more sense.
On October 13th 2016, presidential candidate Donald Trump delivered a speech that defines the MAGA movement within our nation’s history.
Perhaps he knew; however, most did not know the incredible truth within Trump’s statements.
Part of that speech has been put to a video.
The entire transcript of that speech is below.
[ Transcript ] […] “Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American People. There is nothing the political establishment will not do, and no lie they will not tell, to hold on to their prestige and power at your expense.
The Washington establishment, and the financial and media corporations that fund it, exists for only one reason: to protect and enrich itself.” ...For those who control the levers of power in Washington, and for the global special interests they partner with, our campaign represents an existential threat.”
“This is not simply another 4-year election. This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not We The People reclaim control over our government..."
On Tuesday, Breitbart News obtained video of an hour-plus long company meeting at Google that took place shortly after the 2016 presidential election.
You can watch the full video to judge the context of these individual quotes for yourself — but in my view, what you have here is a smoking gun proving the biggest Internet search engine in the world (by far) intends to abuse its corporate power to affect the outcome of elections, to manipulate searches in a way that will result in political outcomes desired by a multinational corporation and Silicon Valley.
Company co-founder Sergey Brin tells his employees: “it’s worth being very vigilant and thinking about all these issues, what we can doto lead to maybe a better quality of governance and decision-making and so forth [emphasis added].”
Company CEO Sundar Pichai sees AI and machine learning as a “big opportunity” to fight “misinformation.”
Both men reference Google’s “Jigsaw” project, which hopes to fight extremism in part by using machine learning to redirect suspected extremists to handpicked content aimed at changing their opinions. This was pitched as a tool to fight the Islamic State — but here, Google executives are talking about it in relation to law-abidingvoters.
Company CFO Ruth Porat promises that Google will “use the great strength and resources and reach we have to continue to advance really important values.”
Kent Walker, VP of Global Affairs, says of the Deplorables defying the globalist elite: “we have to work so hard to ensure that it doesn’t turn into a World War or something catastrophic, but instead is a blip, is a hiccup.”... Read on.
Former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and his paramour former FBI attorney Lisa Page exchanged text messages several months before the 2016 election that suggest the pair were writing an op-ed together and that the FBI seemingly “authorized” a Washington Post story on potential Russian interference during the November elections.
On Sept. 2, 2016, Page texts Strzok about writing an op-ed: “Got it. But we are still writing the op-ed, yes?”
Strzok replies, “Yes, ish. He said too much data would be good to identify the key pieces of data and frame it in an argument, but not to spend ‘too much time on the opening or closing.’
Turbo Prop Water Bomber Scoops From Lake- Rare Interior Footage - World War Wings:
"This Is Neat To Watch.
The reason that it’s so rare to see footage like this is because there are simply not many of these planes around.
Only 90 CL-415s were built and they’re not used on a continuous basis.
As of this writing, we’ve only seen two of these water bombers in action from this vantage point.
According to the description of the video, this took place in Portugal and the crew was getting water from Rio Douro. You can actually see them pass over a dam before dipping down and getting to work..." Read on.

The song became the official U.S. national anthem on March 3, 1931. 1972 - "The Waltons" premiered on CBS-TV.
Cory Booker's 'Spartacus' moment: Watchdog asks ethics committee to review senator - Washington Times: Some of the documents Mr. Booker first released last week were actually cleared by the committee at the time he posted them online. But others were classified as confidential.
Mr. Booker remained defiant Wednesday, vowing to release still more confidential documents.
“No effort to intimidate me into silence will keep me from doing my moral and constitutional duty,” he said.
He said the documents marked “committee confidential” don’t raise any national security concerns.
Byron York: When a foreign adversary meddled in a presidential election "In the 1990s, a hostile foreign power meddled in our presidential election. There were serious questions about whether one party's candidate -- the beneficiary -- was complicit in the meddling, or at least looked the other way while it was going on. The candidate fiercely resisted the appointment of a special prosecutor, then known as an independent counsel, to investigate. Finally, amid only moderate media interest and public concern, it all faded away. The country doing the meddling, of course, was China, and the presidential candidate was Bill Clinton, who was already in the White House and seeking re-election in 1996..." Read all!
Glazov commented to Breitbart News, saying: ““First I was banned for reporting a member of the Religion of Peace threatening me. Now I am banned, on 9/11 mind you, for daring to give suggestions on how we can stop another 9/11. It is against Facebook’s ‘community standards’ to try to stop Jihadist attacks on Americans. This is really getting surreal in the creepiest and most harrowing Stalinist sense.”
The article outlined nine ways in which Jihad can be countered both online and in person. Glazov’s tips include:” 1. Label the Enemy and Make a Threat Assessment. 2. Scrap “Countering Violent Extremism.” 3. Stop “Partnering” With Muslim Brotherhood Front Groups. 4. Implement a Concrete “Countering-Jihad” Strategy. 5. Launch Our Own Counter-propaganda Campaign.” Read all!
