"Today, I’m giving our DOJ and its leaders notice to comply with all requests from Congress for documents regarding (insert various subject matters) in response to its constitutional authority to provide oversight. Because our DOJ has been operating outside of our constitutional framework and I fear will lose all moral authority to faithfully administer justice and obey our laws, they must provide the requested documents within two weeks or there will be dramatic changes at the department." Separately, regarding Mueller, I had some time ago suggested (here: https://mononymous1.wordpress.com/) this approach to dealing with him: (14) When Mueller asked to “interview”...

Answers to the following questions should be of interest to every American, regardless of their political beliefs. (1) Why does Comey get to illegally disclose classified info (his memos) for his stated purpose of precipitating the hiring of a SC and voila; it happens. But when elected members of the HOR call for a SC to investigate the many allegations of corruption within the DOJ, FBI and the Obama admin, in general, nothing happens? (2) What prevents POTUS from hiring a SC, a DOJ-czar, perhaps? (3) Do Strzok, Page, McCabe, Ohr still have security clearances and if so, why? (4)...

THIS IS SATIRE. Location: Washington, D.C. Enter HRC and Huma Abedin; already in the room are two FBI agents, Peter Strzok and Agent P. HRC: Good morning, gentlemen. So glad you can accommodate us here today. Strzok: Good morning, Madam President. You are most welcome. I am so glad to meet you face to face; it’s been a dream and a true honor. HRC: Of course. See if they are wearing any wires, Huma. Abedin: Do I have to? Can’t we trust them? HRC: Trust but verify! Search them and if you won’t, I will just have them strip so...

(1) you successfully exploited the corruptness of the Clinton's and the Obama regime and corrupted a once excellent investigative agency, the FBI (2) you have enriched yourself, your friends and yes, the corrupted classes in the US government (3) you enjoyed Obama's "flexibility" in which he "colluded" with you against his country (4) so you invaded Crimea, destabilize Ukraine and flex your muscles because you have the goods on these people (5) who would you rather have in the White House, someone you can continue to blackmail or some total outsider? Tough choice. By the way, this choice is probably...

Things that have become clearer from the Weinstein affair: (1) in their ideal world, Hollywood is a model of what the left would like this country to be; a world in which the rich, elites have control over and manipulate every aspect of our lives. (2) socialism/communism is a natural consequence of their belief in (1); one only needs to look at the Venezuelan model to see what happens if they succeed and to a certain degree, folks like Weinstein have successfully implemented the Venezuelan model within the Hollywood sphere. (3) it is possible that the many leftists in Hollywood...

To tweak Timothy Leary’s famous “turn on, tune in, drop out” for these times, let me suggest that we “turn off, tune out, drop out.” Therefore, to the extent possible: "Turn off" any programming or any commercial activity that is a forum that enables the left to continue their relentless attack against our values, our country and yes, our choice for President. If one is interested in a particular sport, for example, get together with friends and play the game. "Tune out" all noise, sloganeering, voices and virtue signaling that come from the various groups that, again, routinely attack us,...

It'd seem to me that anyone who has an interest in seeing that the laws of this country are not only enforced but simply followed, would also be for ending prick-tator Obama's illegal DACA program. It's not very surprising that an assorted number of RINOs have suddenly come out in support of maintaining the program. This, in spite of their one-time, supposed objection to Obama's betrayal of his oath of office and his circumvention of Congress. If the program doesn't end, many (Democrats, RINOs) will argue that "early childhood arrivals" include anchor babies and the entire matter as to whether...

A list of headlines, denials, admissions from the channel: 1 "This is C, No News." (In James Earl Jones' voice.) 2. Unlike our main competitor, "We decide, We distort." 3. Zucker, Anderson “Can’t Take a Dump” Cooper and Don “Black Hole” Lemon are not in a love triangle. 4. Alisyn Camerota has not given up her job for the relatively honorable position of being a prostitute. 5. It’s only fake when we fake it. 6. We’ve been making s^$# up since Bernard Shaw; why stop now? 7. Where does it say the first amendment is an individual right? 8. We...

To anyone who has the ability to critically analyze what’s been going on in this country over the last few months (so, the media, Democrat party leaders, many celebrities and a good deal of the rank-and-file followers of all of the parties preceding are excluded) it should be obvious that: (1) the reason Obama and his people spied on Mr. Trump was, simply, to find some dirt on him that would have been leaked to the press in order to damage his candidacy. The “prick-tator” himself was so certain that they’d find something on Mr. Trump, it was the reason...

The descent started when Obama (edited) started wielding his phone and pen which, thankfully, is now being undone. In this process, he enabled a sense of entitlement among the various fringe groups that comprise what is really a minority (in numbers), Democrat party. Chief among their sense of “entitlement” is the use of the force of government to foist and decree various mandates upon the rest of us – without debate or even the legislative process. In fact, all debate is mostly suffocated by claims of “racism” with the help of the complicit media. I am reminded of an analogous...

During the Monica Lewinsky affair, the same left that is now positively orgasmic about various allegations regarding Mr. Trump's "sexual misconduct" and talk were doing yeoman's work at defending a man who'd later be impeached. Who has forgotten the parade of cabinet members on the White House lawn and one after another (starting, as I recall, with Madeline Notbright) proclaiming Mr. Clinton's innocence? (Compare this "circling of the wagons" with what the various pu$$ies in the Republican fraternity recently did with respect to Mr. Trump's "locker room talk".) Later on, we were told how this was all about sex, Mr....

On full display last night was the left's approach to dealing with their "political enemies." These people have more interest in "dialog" with ISIS and terrorists in general rather than try to change hearts and minds on public policy matters. As with every thing else with liberals, they most often accuse others of the very thing they are themselves guilty of, bullying other people is one such example. The natural outcome, when they win elections, is to use the force of the government to bully the populace - fascism, really. Mr. Pence, in my view, showed enormous restraint in dealing...

Previously posted here: http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3429675/posts But it is the last paragraph of the article that is of relevance, vis-a-vis Mr. Trump's tax return; here is what it says: "The one silver lining for the fund’s investors from all of this is that they will have a somewhat larger tax loss on investments to claim next year."

It’d seem to me that by now, the Trump campaign ought to be pinning the “desperate” label on the Clinton campaign, specifically, as follows: HRC is “desperate” because: She has no vision for the future of this country that is any different from the failed and extremist policies she and her party have offered for the last 50 years and those that have been implemented over the last 7 years by the Obama administration. She has come to the realization that you cannot fool all of the people all of the time and that the farce that has been the...

A parody of Bob Marley's “I Shot the Sheriff" as performed/interpreted by Eric Clapton, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRgcwT9X2J8 To the imaginary vocal style of the Hopeless Reprobate, Clinton (HRC): (My private server, but no one breached its security My private server, but no one breached its security) All around in my home towns, They're tryin' to track me down, They say they want to bring me in guilty For this breach of security For the breach of security, but I say (My private server) But I swear it was in self-interest (My private server) And they say it is a capital offense...

In the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, most “conservative” media in this country were quick to proclaim the sanctity of our First Amendment rights and properly blamed the terrorists and their fanaticism. Later, John F’n Kerry was rightfully derided for blabbering about understanding the rationale for the attack; the typical, knee-jerk leftist attitude to these things. But what happened last Friday at a planned Trump rally in Chicago was a deliberate, organized, blatant and ultimately successful (by their measure) denial of the First Amendment rights of those gathered for the rally. Their success came from creating an atmosphere of...

The "pendulum" diagram below summarizes the direction in which this nation has been heading for about the last 100 years; inexorably drifting leftwards. It also suggests the hope for a potential Trump presidency; would it, could it, halt the slide? Not simply slow the rate of it, as one might argue has happened intermittently over the last century, but actually STOP it? Why might he be able to do it? Because he can bypass and destroy media narratives and expose and tear down the Washington D.C. elitist cabal; at least this is the hope and I believe this is what...

M1: Mr. Sanders, great crowds, a resonating message out there. You seem to be leading a movement. B: Why, yes; thank you. M1: You won New Hampshire and some how received less delegates than Mrs. Clinton. B: Yes, those are the rules. M1: Do you miss the irony here, Sir? B: What? What do you mean? M1: The socialism you preach... B: Yes? M1: Redistribution... B: Right, right, from those who have to those who haven't! Absolutely! M1: There you go, that's exactly what's happening with your votes. See, you win the votes but your opponent receives the benefits. It's...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: We're gonna start here, as I told the broadcast engineer, with F. Chuck Todd on the Today Show today with Savannah Guthrie. They were speaking about Ted Cruz's campaign, telling voters about Carson's leaving the race because of a report on CNN. Now, let's review this. Let's review what we know, just before we get to the sound bite. Somebody at CNN -- I forget the name -- tweeted that Carson was leaving the race and going home to Florida and then to the National Prayer Breakfast. That was a CNN tweet. And the CNN reporter had...

A parody of The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again..." here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHhrZgojY1Q You've been voting at the booths With your children at your feet That the morals they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Thought it all along That your will, will be damned I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Watch the transformation all around Go to work again today Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray 'Cause we've been fooled again The changes we'd hope to come But suspected all along Will...
