There have long been secret police. The Gestapo, the KGB and the Stasi are classic examples. To that we may now add the House democrats. For three years Adam Schiff has claimed to have secret evidence of Trump colluding with Russia. Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Adam Schiff (D-CA) says Democrats will not only continue with the Russia investigation but they found evidence of collusion. Schiff also said they have new documents from an important witness.Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee released their own 98-page report, which charged that the Republican document “reflects a lack of seriousness...

Trump pulling troops from Syria has been controversial at best, and many people on both the Left and the Right have been concerned, angry, outraged, you name it. There are some talking heads saying this move will be far more damaging to Trump’s presidency than even the fake impeachment nonsense Democrats have been pushing for three years. Breitbart’s John Hayward put together a pretty eye-opening thread on Trump’s decision in Syria and it’s definitely worth a read.

Why the Trump Justice Department hasn’t put Judicial Watch on the payroll yet with orders to “just go keep doing what you’re doing,” we don’t know. Maybe it’s a paperwork thing. Then again, if Judicial Watch fell under control of those who ‘manage’ the deep state, the government watchdog would never have been able to uncover all crimes that Obama and his band of criminals have done to our institutions.

KIEV (Reuters) - The Israeli ambassador to Ukraine asked police on Thursday to find and punish people who left a red paint-spattered effigy of tycoon Ihor Kolomoisky, who holds a Ukrainian Jewish community leadership post, on the steps of the main synagogue in Kiev. Kolomoisky, one of Ukraine's richest men, is in the public eye over his business ties to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who came to fame as the star of TV show on a channel Kolomoisky owns.

The U.S. President Donald Trump did not oppose a deal struck between the Syrian Kurdish-led forces, Russia and the Syrian government in Damascus to protect against a Turkish offensive in northeastern Syria, the commander of the force said as his fighters battled a new push by Ankara-backed fighters to seize a strategic border town. The commander of the Kurdish-led forces, Mazloum Abdi, said Trump essentially gave the go-ahead for the deal in a phone call Monday. The Kurds’ deal, announced Sunday, came after Trump ordered U.S. troops to step aside as Turkey launched its attack last week. Under the agreement,...

William Buckley once said he would rather be governed by the first 2,000 people in the Boston phone book than the entire Harvard faculty. After watching the October 15 Democratic Party presidential candidate debate, I would rather have as president any of the first 2,000 in any phone book in any city in the USA than the present weird bunch of Democrats. Joe Biden is out of it. He said "coupon-clippers in the stock market" should pay the same tax rates as teachers and firefighters. The "coupon-clippers" are primarily those who buy municipal bonds that are tax-free. The interest is...

Volker told House investigators at his Oct. 3 closed-door interview...

Laura Ingraham had a rough time keeping her laughter in check while responding to Hunter Biden's interview with ABC News' "Good Morning America," criticizing not only Biden but ABC's Amy Robach's interview skills. "After months of hiding out Hunter Biden showed his face for a media interview with an amiable anchor, GMA's Amy Robach," Ingraham said Tuesday on "The Ingraham Angle." "It was filmed in a cozy kitchen and the exchange at times felt more like an episode of 'Oprah.'" "How does she not burst into laughter throughout this entire interview?" Ingraham asked. Biden said Tuesday in his first televised...

A top U.S. diplomat and expert on Ukraine testified to Congress yesterday that the Obama administration — with former Vice President Joe Biden as its point man — orchestrated the firing of the Ukrainian prosecutor who was investigating a company connected to the Biden family, sources familiar with the testimony told The Federalist. The testimony of George Kent, a State Department official who works on the agency’s Ukraine portfolio, directly contradicts claims that the Obama administration was merely following the lead of the so-called international community in demanding the firing of Viktor Shokin, a controversial Ukrainian prosecutor who was reportedly...
