    Sarah Solomon had a pretty sweet life. The 20-something publicist was always out at fashion events, dinners and parties — and even hung out with John Legend during Fashion Week. “It was definitely New York glamourous — the black dress, leather pants and high heels, and an hour putting on my makeup,” says Solomon. “Anyone would think I had a really fun life, meeting cool people and celebrities.” But she yearned for something more and resented only having two weeks of vacation a year. So, last August, she quit her seemingly great job at a plum downtown p.r. firm. “I...

    Whenever there's major news about prominent individuals being accused or charged with involvement in the global human/sex trafficking rings, it seems the Drive-By-Media conveniently find controversial 'news' to preoccupy its' viewers minds from paying attention to the more serious issue. Tuesday's 'Secret Cohen Tapes' are just one of many examples. But did you you hear about the the arrests and charges involving the Bronfman sisters and the Salzman's? Of course we won't, Stormy Daniels divorce is getting more news coverage. Freepers, take a look at these photos and try to 'connect the dots' of all the people involved (and others...
  • Clintons, Hello? Barnicle Claims Trump WH “First Filled with Grifters”

    Back in 2011, a Morning Joe promo featured Mike Barnicle sleeping on a park bench. So let’s cut Mike some slack: it’s possible he snoozed through the Clinton years. Otherwise, it would be impossible to understand Barnicle’s claim on today’s Morning Joe. Speaking of the Trump presidency, the erstwhile Boston Globe columnist said: “This is the first White House in the history of this republic that is largely filled with grifters.”Get the rest of the story and view the video here.
  • FLASHBACK: Family Guy Continues Pedophilia-Themed Punchlines

    07/23/2018 7:01:23 AM PDT · by TigerClaws · 23 replies
    Last week we told you about Family Guy‘s bizarre fixation with child sex abuse. This week, the writers of Family Guy doubled-down on the offensive content with an art exhibit featuring pictures of hundreds of babies in suggestive situations, and Quagmire performing an inappropriate magic act at a children’s birthday party. Quagmire: (subtitled) Hey, can you guys knock it off? I’m banging a chick with epilepsy and you’re giving her a seizure. Actually, keep it up. Everything is seizing. It’s great. Peter: Women will always band together to stop an offensive art exhibit from coming to town, so I’ve arranged...
  • FLASHBACK: Obama Spox: Allegations of Wiretapping Trump Tower Are 'Simply False'

    07/22/2018 7:39:30 PM PDT · by TigerClaws · 9 replies
    Kevin Lewis, spokesman for former President Barack Obama, denied accusations by President Donald Trump saying the Obama administration wiretapped Trump Tower prior to the election. In a statement, Lewis said: "A cardinal rule of the Obama Administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice. As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen. Any suggestion otherwise is simply false."
  • Why hasn’t Carter Page been charged if he IS a spy according to the FISA warrant?

    The Truth
    The Obama DOJ labeled Carter Page as engaged in clandestine activities and collaborating with foreign intelligence to the FISA court about 2 years ago and yet nobody has arrested him or indicting him with any sort of espionage crime, not even Mueller has done anything about it. Some of the idiots on the left think Page must be collaborating with Special Counsel and that’s why he hasn’t been charged yet but even if he was doing so, they wouldn’t be allowing him to going around on television shows giving interviews, they would shut that down. Carter Page was the vehicle...

    During a portion of an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation” released on Thursday, former Secretary of State John Kerry criticized President Trump’s press conference with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki and stated he didn’t believe President Trump’s walk back of his comments, asking, “how can anyone buy walk back after walk back, when you take positions here, and then you take positions over here and you’re repetitively walking back and changing?” Kerry said he found the Helsinki presser “shocking. I found it to be one of the most disgraceful, remarkable moments of kowtowing to a foreign leader by an American...

    19 Jul 20181 President Donald Trump said he looked forward to running against former Vice President Joe Biden in 2020, calling him a “dream” opponent. “I dream about Biden. That’s a dream,” Trump said in an interview with CBS anchor Jeff Glor. Trump said that Biden ran for president three times and never won more than one percent of Democratic support in the primaries. “President Obama took him out of the garbage heap, and everybody was shocked that he did,” Trump said, adding that Biden was able to do “fine” as a vice president.

    Speaking of treason, is it true that President Obama ordered his Intel and law enforcement agencies to stand down while Russia was actually in the act of meddling into our elections? And seeing that Hillary brought it up during the campaign, then she knew about it too. What did the president know and when did he know it? Why did they take no action at the time?

    NYU Russia expert Stephen F. Cohen and FNC's Tucker Carlson discuss the president's meeting Monday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and calls of "treason" from Democrats and Intel officials. TUCKER CARLSON, FNC: Assess, if you would, the reaction today to this press conference and to the summit between Putin and Trump/ STEPHEN F. COHEN: The reaction by most of the media, by the Democrats, by the anti-Trump people is like mob violence. I've never seen anything like it in my life. This is the president of the United States, doing what every other president before him, since FDR in 1943...

    This is not an anti-Iraq war rant; i fought in the streets in 2003 with Freepers & groups like Protest Warrior counter protesting the "peace protestors". Nor is this a rant against law enforcement- my dad was NYPD for almost two decades. Rather this is a reminder with facts for those who believe we should just blindly follow our politicized "intelligence" agencies. The same intelligence operations telling us russia interfered in our elections: 1- told us Iraq possessed WMD 2- never connected the dots in the lead up to 9-11; the worst terrorist attack on US solid 3- dismissed evidence...
  • Trumps nuclear option in his pocket is to declassify it ALL

    The Truth
    The one thing the Deep State fear the most against President Trump is the truth - that is the truth about them being exposed unadulterated and unfiltered, where the deep state media can not massage (filter) and hide information from the American people. Trumps ‘trump card’ is to declassify all relevant Russian investigation/FISA documents. Obviously elements within the DOJ is slow walking documents to Congressional oversight committees or outright refusing to release them upon repeated requests. Everything is being coordinated to damage and bring down President Trump in any fashion. They won’t stop until Trump is gone and Trump knows...
  • Should President Trump trust the CIA/FBI/DOJ deep state swamp?

    07/16/2018 1:22:31 PM PDT · by Jim Robinson · 191 replies
    Oh, my. The media and the leftists (including GOPe RINO NeverTrumpers) cannot understand why President Trump doesn't trust the deep state CIA/FBI/DOJ political operators, ie, the deep state swamp. Can't be that these same deep state swamp dwellers have been colluding and working overtime for the last several years using and abusing their government offices trying to prevent Trump from winning the nomination, prevent candidate Trump from being elected, prevent president-elect Trump from taking office, trying to overturn President Trump's election? President Trump was elected specifically to drain the swamp. No one said it was gonna be easy. Looks like...

    The question is, if Russian intelligence agencies successfully hacked into the DNC servers and worse, our election systems, shouldn't someone in our government be held accountable? What were our own intelligence and law enforcement agencies doing at the time? Sleeping at the switch? Why didn't Obama, Hillary and the democrats harden their systems and train their people in cyber security? Why was Hillary not prosecuted for her illegal and obviously NOT secure personal server that had classified government documents flowing through it to Russia and whomever, including assorted sexual perverts laptops? This all happened on Obama and Hillary's watch! Thank...

    The latest batch of Axios/Survey Monkey polls shows that Democrats are in real danger of losing three U.S. Senate seats, which means they have no chance of capturing that chamber in 2018. In order to take control of the Senate, Democrats must hold on to all 10 seats currently up for grabs in states President Trump won in 2016. On top of that, they must snatch two seats from incumbent Republicans. According to these polls, Democrat incumbents in Florida, North Dakota, and Indiana are losing to their Republican challengers by three, five, and two points, respectively. Another endangered Democrat incumbent,...

    MSNBC’s “AM Joy” host Joy Reid lamented Sunday how the media viewed former President George W. Bush and Sarah Palin as authentic and enchanting because of their speech while also “disparaging” former President Barack Obama for “being almost too erudite and articulate.” “There is a thing in Republican Party politics where not being erudite as a speaker is seen as a virtue,” said Reid. “It was with George W. Bush, the idea that he’s plain-spoken, and so, when he would mangle the language — even the media would read that as authentic and great, right? He would make up words...
