They don’t call Mark Levin ‘The Great One’ for nothin’. With all of the rhetoric we’re seeing today in social media and in traditional media about the John Bolton story, it’s good to see Levin pushing back with actual facts. Like this … If every word of this New York Times story is true, which I doubt as it’s another politically timed leak, how does this change anything? As a matter of FACT, there was no quid pro quo. And there’s still no evidence to the contrary. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/01/26/trump-denies-new-york-times-report-on-john-bolton-book/ … Good point. House Democrats weren’t able to prove anything about quid...

The last couple of years have provided some watershed moments in the history of journalism. Journalists have been targeted and murdered, they’ve destroyed the legitimacy major of political parties, they’ve penetrated the digital gates that protect national security secrets and at times, whether intentionally or inadvertently, they have become as big as the stories they were covering. One such moment occurred this week in South America, as Pulitzer Prize winning American Journalist Glenn Greenwald, now a resident of Brazil, was charged by Brazilian prosecutors of providing assistance to a group of hackers who were monitoring the phone calls of politicians...

Steele yourself: the endgame is in sight. The Steele dossier was a hoax. Russia was a hoax. Quid pro quo is chicanery. Climate change hysteria is a hoax. All of them lies and fabrications spread organically with alacrity and growing lethalness, not unlike the Coronavirus, another pestilence that, while not a hoax, is quite likely a coverup. But take heart.The Democrats’ dream team is about to suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of their arch-enemy on the floor of the Senate. As for the rest, well, Homer has that covered as well:According to The D'oh! of Homer you might call...

The New York Times makes a final desperate play in its role as bullhorn for the Deep State. – Ok, so, this was inevitable: After the White House defense team devastated the Democrats’ impeachment scam with a simple recitation of the actual facts at hand on Saturday, the corrupt hacks at the New York Times publish yet another narrative-setter on behalf of their political party of choice. The writers of the piece are Hillary Clinton tool Maggie Haberman and Obama hack Michael Schmidt, which is really pretty much all you need to know as far as the slant the piece...

A top aide to former national security adviser John Bolton is disputing part of a Sunday report in The New York Times, which claimed Bolton had shared a manuscript of his forthcoming book with "close associates" -- and Bolton's lawyer is saying the National Security Council's review process of pending manuscripts is "corrupted" and apparently prone to leaks. The Times reported that the manuscript included a bombshell claim that Trump explicitly linked a hold on Ukraine aid to an investigation of Joe and Hunter Biden. Trump told Bolton in August, according to a transcript of Bolton's forthcoming book reviewed by...
