More than 1 million people have checked in on Facebook to the Standing Rock Indian reservation in response to a viral post claiming that doing so would help protect activists in North Dakota protesting against an oil pipeline from police surveillance.

Members of more than 90 Native American nations have converged on Standing Rock in North Dakota since April to protest against the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline, saying it would jeopardize the tribe’s water supply and threaten sacred tribal sites.

When I was reading the news this morning, I discovered a quote that was so very ironic, I wanted to think that it was satire.

But it wasn’t.

The Clinton campaign, who really liked the FBI during their first go-round,  had the audacity to say now that the FBI has double standards.   Continue reading “Clinton Campaign Says FBI Has “Double Standards” as Podesta’s Bestie Runs the New DoJ Email Investigation”

That is the harsh lesson being learned by those in Hillary Clinton’s inner circle right now.

Between the revelations divulged by Wikileaks and the recently reopened FBI investigation, here are the people I predict are going to get dirty if there’s any actual justice done:   Continue reading “10 People Who Took One for Team Clinton”

In today’s, 25th, Wikileaks release of hacked Podesta emails, one of the notable highlights is a March 2, 2015 exchange between John Podesta and Clinton aide Cheryl Mills in which the Clinton Campaign Chair says “On another matter….and not to sound like Lanny, but we are going to have to dump all those emails.”

The email, which may indicate intent, was sent at the same time as the NYT story “Hillary Clinton Used Personal Email Account at State Dept., Possibly Breaking Rules” –  which for the first time revealed the existence of Hillary’s email server – hit, and just days before Hillary’s press conference addressing what was at the time, the stunning revelation that she had a personal email account, and server, in her home.   Continue reading “Podesta To Mills: “We Are Going To Have To Dump All Those Emails””

Following last night’s Colonial Pipeline explosion which killed 1 and injured several more, Wholesale gasoline prices have spiked most since Dec 2008 to 16-month highs as the closure of the largest fuel pipeline in America forces traders to book cargoes from Europe.

Prices spiked almost immediately – flash-smashing 15% higher before fading back… only to drift back to the highs this morning as reality sinks in…   Continue reading “Gasoline Prices Spike Most Since 2008 After Pipeline Explosion”

WASHINGTON (AP) — An increasing number of people from far-flung corners of the world quietly have tried to sneak into the United States among the hundreds of thousands of other, mostly Latin American migrants caught at the Mexican border in the last year, according to arrest data from the Homeland Security Department.

The arrests of more than 8,000 people from India, China, Romania, Bangladesh and Nepal between October 2015 and the end of August is offering a new challenge to immigration agents tasked with fully identifying would-be immigrants and quickly deporting people caught crossing the border illegally.   Continue reading “More migrants from around the world making way to US border”

American taxpayers have given more money to Israel than to any other nation, despite the fact that Israel is one of the smallest and richest countries on earth.

Thanks to special interest lobbying, which, until now, has largely gone unopposed, Israel receives $3.1 billion American tax dollars each year in military aid, plus hundreds of millions more for additional weapons programs. This comes to a whopping $10.2 million per day (see breakdown). But that is not all. Special arrangements that benefit Israel combined with aid paid out to other countries on its behalf cost Americans nearly $7 million more each day and thousands of jobs.   Continue reading “$10 million a day to Israel just doesn’t make sense!”

NEW YORK — Dave Schippers, who served as the Chief Investigative Counsel for the House Judiciary Committee’s probe into whether Bill Clinton committed impeachable offenses, stated in an exclusive radio interview that he is “terrified” of Hillary Clinton.

Schippers is one of the few people who personally viewed – indeed he helped to collect – the room full of evidence in the impeachment probe. He says the evidence included 60,000-plus pages of written documents, video and “hours and hours” of tape recordings, all of which are still under lock and key.   Continue reading “Bill Clinton Impeachment Chief Investigator: I’m ‘Terrified’ of Hillary”
