Another Ex-Obama official has joined the ranks of anti-Trump cable news punditry, this time disgraced FBI #2 Andrew McCabe, who was fired for leaking information to the media – then lying about it at least four times, including under oath.

Now, McCabe – who is suing the DOJ and FBI over what he claims was a “politically motivated” firing  just days before he was set to retire with full benefits,” will join former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper at CNN.  Continue reading “CNN Hires Former FBI #2 Andy McCabe, Who Was Fired For Leaking And Lying”

Market Watch – by Jeffry Bartash

Turns out hiring wasn’t nearly as strong in 2018 and early 2019 as the government initially reported — by about a half-million jobs.

The economy had about 501,000 fewer jobs as of March 2019 than the Bureau of Labor Statistics initially calculated in its survey of business establishments. That’s the largest revision since the waning stages of the Great Recession in 2009.  Continue reading “U.S. created 500,000 fewer jobs since 2018 than previously reported, new figures show”

So that just happened.

Yes, President Trump, when asked about his ongoing trade war with China, deemed himself “the chosen one” when talking with reporters outside the White House on Wednesday. As Trump put it, when it comes to dealing with China’s trade practices, “somebody had to do it.” He then added “I am the chosen one” as he looked up to the sky.  Continue reading “Trump: ‘I am the chosen one’”

Mark Zuckerberg’s group of West Coast investors is lobbying the GOP to keep illegal cheap labor flowing into Georgia.

The group’s political progress was spotlighted Tuesday, August 6, when a state GOP politician urged state officials to ignore the huge population of illegal migrant workers and renters in the state, according to a report in the Georgia Recorder: Continue reading “Mark Zuckerberg’s Group Lobbies Georgia GOP for More Low-Wage Labor”

Border Patrol agents rescued a group of 10 migrants who were lost in the desert after being abandoned by human smugglers. The migrants spent 10 days in the Arizona desert — at least six of those without water.

The Air and Marine Operations (AMO) located the lost migrants and landed with a Border Patrol emergency medical technician.

Volunteers with the humanitarian aid group No More Deaths have been venturing into the harsh Sonoran Desert for years to leave life-saving supplies for migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Longtime volunteer Scott Warren was charged with three felonies for the alleged crime of providing food, water and shelter to migrants.

President Trump isn’t worried about the economy. No really, he isn’t. Everything is going to be fine. Seriously. All of that talk of a recession last week and over the weekend, spurred by a few ominous market indicators, a sputtering global economy, and Trump’s continuing trade war with China, was overblown hype peddled by forces that want nothing more than to make the president look bad. After all, how bad could things really be when we’re all so rich?  Continue reading “Trump Says a Recession Isn’t Possible Because Everyone Is Rich”

This column is an unapologetic appeal to action.

In 2016, Donald Trump said, “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters.” He must still believe that, because after promising his supporters that he will protect the 2nd Amendment, he is right now in the process of enacting most of the Democrats’ ANTI-2nd Amendment agenda.  Continue reading “Donald Trump’s Broken Promise To Protect The 2nd Amendment”

“It is often the case that police shootings, incidents where law enforcement officers pull the trigger on civilians, are left out of the conversation on gun violence. But a police officer shooting a civilian counts as gun violence. Every time an officer uses a gun against an innocent or an unarmed person contributes to the culture of gun violence in this country.” – Journalist Celisa Calacal

Yes, gun violence is a problem in America, although violent crime generally remains at an all-time low.  Continue reading “Who Inflicts The Most Gun Violence In America? The US Government And Its Police Force”
