Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) on Saturday told demonstrators in Los Angeles protesting the Trump administration’s immigration policies that anyone who shoots at the lawmaker “better shoot straight.” Waters claimed on Thursday she was forced to pull out of events in Alabama and Texas after she received death threats. “There was one very serious death threat made against me on Monday from an individual in Texas, which is why my planned speaking engagements in Texas and Alabama were cancelled (sic) this weekend,” the outspoken Trump critic said in a statement. “This is just one in several very serious threats the United...

The more you dig into the this whole Robert Mueller witch hunt the more corruption you find with basically everyone involved. The guy who actually appointed Robert Mueller to conduct his tax payer funded witch hunt with Clinton lackeys is married to a Clinton attorney. The Russians couldn’t have set this up any better. I’m sure Lisa Barsoomian is a top notch attorney. She did get to where she is today because of name recognition. I mean if Billy BJ Clinton used her as an attorney, how could you argue her credentials? At least Rosenstein married well.

I have a question for FReepers which might merit some discussion. I've been reading about the amount that people pay coyotes to be smuggled into the US. For Central Americans and other OTM (Other than Mexicans), estimates I've seen vary from $6,000 to $12,000 per person. That amount gets a person smuggled through Mexico (really, the Mexican part is a bribe for passage, possibly un-molested) and across the border into the US. An example article discussing this can be easily found. One example is this one from the NY Times: What it Costs to be Smuggled Across the U. S....

If McConnell was willing to break the Senate in order to retain a right-wing conservative seat, what will he do to place the court solidly in the hands of the ultraconservatives now? Late night begs Justice Kennedy to stay So where does that leave the Democrats? Cornered. And what does one do when cornered? Fight like crazy. Progressives will mount the most energized campaign we have ever seen. Any Democratic senator who supports the Trump Supreme Court nominee will likely see his or her fundraising and grassroots support collapse, and primary opposition spring up. Where a senator stands at this...

These may not be sealed indictments but credible sources say these ~35,000 resignations correlate with the sealed indictments. All resignations are cross-referenced to news links. The lines appear to be well-sourced. So this cross-referencing lends legitimacy to the list. Many of the resignations are GRUESOME such as one example described in line #1198.

I use Breaking News very sparingly. Admin Mod please review for appropriate inclusion in Breaking News. This is often referred to as the BIGGEST TAKEDOWN IN US HISTORY.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill Wednesday that allows undocumented immigrants facing deportation to select legal guardians for their children. The law extends rights already given to parents facing terminal or debilitating illnesses or death. Parents in those circumstances can petition the Surrogate Court for “standby guardians.” The same rules now apply to parents who are separated from their children because of administrative proceedings and potential deportation from New York state.

Stealing anything from a police office is pretty bold. But a doughnut? That's asking for some serious trouble. A brazen squirrel in Anchorage, Alaska, did just that, prompting the police department to post a video of the bandit on its Facebook page

The missing machine gun that triggered the firing of a security forces chief at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota, in May turned up in what’s probably the last place the Air Force wanted it to: stashed in an airman’s home off-base. Minot officials announced on Wednesday that the machine gun had been recovered by Air Force Office of Special Investigation agents after obtaining a federal search warrant for the unnamed airman’s residence on June 19. The machine gun was discovered missing during a standard weapons inventory by the 91st Missile Wing security forces on May 16, just about two...

Former Obama CIA Director John Brennan responded to a tweet by President Donald Trump on Saturday decrying the ‘Russia withc hunt’ investigation with an ominous tweet calling for Trump’s cabinet and inner circle to turn on him. While Brennan stopped short of explicitly calling for the invocation of the 25th Amendment, impeachment or an outright coup to remove Trump from office, his language strongly implies such actions. Trump tweeted Saturday at 7:33 A.M. EDT, “.@FoxNews Poll numbers plummet on the Democrat inspired and paid for Russian Witch Hunt. With all of the bias, lying and hate by the investigators, people...

When the government deprives a person of life, liberty or property, it is required to use fundamentally fair processes. The Supreme Court has made clear that when governmental action “shocks the conscience,” it violates due process. Such conduct includes investigative or prosecutorial efforts that appear, under the totality of the circumstances, to be motivated by corruption, bias or entrapment. In U.S. v. Russell (1973), the justices observed: “We may someday be presented with a situation in which the conduct of law enforcement agents is so outrageous that due process principles would absolutely bar the government from invoking judicial processes to...

OK, I'm just going to throw it out there: Martial Law. Two or more guys breaking into my house ANYtime day or night, is called an invasion. I will use all means at my disposal to deal with that situation. I have high expectations of prevailing. If they have a van full of supporters in my driveway cheering them on and tossing them supplies, I'm going to try to turn them into toast, as well, to the best of my ability. Mr. President, our Home is being invaded. The invaders are being cheered on (and more) by people from inside...

Beleaguered ABC News was reeling Thursday morning after having to correct its latest anti-Trump error -- an on-screen caption Wednesday afternoon that falsely stated that Paul Manafort, Donald Trump's ex-campaign chief, pleaded guilty to five charges of manslaughter. ABC quickly apologized for the error – saying there “is no excuse” -- and an ABC spokesperson said the network is still “investigating” what went wrong. But ABC News sources tell Fox News that the false report was a “practice chyron” that had likely been maliciously written by a hostile ABC News employee (a chyron is a TV news term for words...

German security officials say left-wing extremists have become more willing to use violence over the past five years. Figures released by the domestic intelligence agency BfV on Wednesday show the number of left-wing extremists whom authorities consider potentially violent rose 27 percent from 7,100 to about 9,000 between 2012 and 2017. The number of violent crimes committed by left-wing extremists rose 88 percent during that period, to 1,648 from 876.

My name is Roger. I lived in Denver for over 33 years. I voted every election against illegal immigration and against the marijuana that they brought with them to my country. The smell of people checking out of reality could be experienced all around Denver, especially from the freeways at highway speeds at I-70 and Colorado Blvd and at I-25 and Auraria Campus. I was a truck driver handling eighty thousand pounds of vehicle and merchandise at the time which made me very dangerous behind the wheel if not paying attention. As you know, a sleepy driver is more deadly...

Madrid (AFP) - Spain's new Socialist government is determined to remove the remains of Francisco Franco from a vast mausoleum near Madrid and turn it into a place of "reconciliation" for a country still coming to terms with the dictator's legacy. "We don't have a date yet, but the government will do it," Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said late Monday during his first television interview since being sworn in on June 2 after toppling his conservative predecessor Mariano Rajoy in a confidence vote. He recalled that a non-binding motion approved last year in parliament called for Franco's remains to be...

The new Justice Department inspector general's report on the FBI's handling of the Clinton email scandal is 568 pages long, but for Trump supporters it can be reduced to a single phrase: "Told ya so."... In other words, the premise that motivated so many Trump supporters is proven true: The DC Establishment really was out to get Trump.
