Yesterday afternoon, the House Select Panel on Infant Lives — tasked last year with exploring Planned Parenthood’s possible involvement in illegal fetal-tissue trafficking — released a complete list of the criminal referrals it has made so far during the course of its investigation. The panel was established last fall in the wake of the Center for Medical Progress’s undercover videos, which revealed evidence of extensive wrongdoing on the part of Planned Parenthood affiliates and associated organization. Since that time, the panel has issued 15 criminal and regulatory referrals to federal, state, and local authorities, advising further investigation into the practices ...

Well, checkmate Megyn, here is the whole truth as explained by Alex Jones himself.

It was not immediately clear whether McClinton is represented by an attorney. Greenville is a Mississippi River port city of about 32,100 people, and about 78 ...
Intelligence agencies make their living by lying; now they’re truthful?

A few delicious contradictions and dissonances: The political Left has long attacked the CIA and other spying agencies as criminal liars, but suddenly those agencies are as pure as the driven snow, because they claim Russia hacked the US election and took victory away from Hillary Clinton. Putin, the supposed arch-villain in this operation, heavily censors the press in Russia. That would be bad—except now, many of the people who support the claim that Putin masterminded the election-hack in the US want to heavily censor independent media outlets in the US, who claim the Russian hack is a lie based on zero evidence. Putin censoring news in Russia=bad. Censoring “fake news” in ...

Trump’s Foreign Policy Team: Built to Fail

WASHINGTON — With the announcement that he will nominate the Exxon Mobil chief executive Rex Tillerson as his secretary of state, President-elect Donald J. Trump has rounded out a foreign policy team that is, to put it mildly, profoundly different from that of any of his six Republican predecessors since World War II. It’s also unlikely to last particularly long.Certainly Mr. Trump’s team is different from that of the George W. Bush administration, which came loaded with Republican foreign policy establishment figures — a difference that Mr. Trump will no doubt flaunt as a virtue. Indeed, the Bush team proves that appointing officials with long experience in Washington ...
Rex Tillerson: An Oligarch’s Dream at the State Department

To succeed in setting up your U.S. oligarchy, you’re going to need to be friendly with oligarchs in other major powers. If confirmed by the Senate, the next secretary of state will enter into the service of the second employer he has ever had in his life: the United States government. Since his graduation from the University of Texas in Austin, according to The New Yorker’s Steve Coll, Rex Tillerson has known only one boss (in aggregate): the shareholders of Exxon Mobil. Already even Republicans are chafing against President-apparent Donald J. Trump’s pick of the oil giant’s CEO for the post of the nation’s top diplomat, on account of Tillerson’s close ties to ...

America is now a country without hope, Michelle Obama has said. Asked by Oprah Winfrey if her husband’s administration had lived up to its promise of hope, the first lady said yes, adding: “Because we feel the difference now. Now we’re feeling what not having hope feels like. Hope is necessary.” She added: “And Barack didn’t talk about hope because he thought it was a nice slogan to get votes. He and I and so many believe ‘what else do you have if you don’t have hope? What do you give your kids if you can’t give them hope?’” In what is likely to be Obama’s last interview of the year, she suggested that Americans would miss ...

Bunker Hill, Indiana, has fewer than 900 residents, boasts one of the state's oldest operating drag strips, and is the hometown of radio and TV talk show host Tavis Smiley.

New polling shows that Americans are more hopeful than they have been in over a decade. Consumer confidence is up; Americans believe that Trump will deliver much-needed change and Trump’s favorability numbers are soaring. However, that doesn’t stop the LYING left and their assault on Donald Trump by totally TRASHING the “peaceful transfer of power” with their fake Russian hacking stories, and divisive narrative. Case in point, while Americans FINALLY feel hopeful, something Obama could never offer, Michelle Obama claims Trump’s win has made Americans feel “hopeless.” From Daily Mail: Click HERE to read the remainder of the article.

After Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg denounced the idea that fake news influenced the U.S. election as “a pretty crazy idea,” the social network has decided to fold under the pressure of current media narratives and will take measures to censor what is labeled “fake news” on users’ news feeds. Facebook is partnering with numerous media organizations, including Snopes and ABC News, that make up part of an international fact-checking network led by Poynter, a nonprofit school for journalism located in St. Petersburg, Florida, reports Business Insider.

There is a giant push by governments and mainstream corporate media to censor criticism of the American government as somehow helping Russia. That’s honestly one of the most anti-American, pro-Communist kinds of bullshit I’ve ever heard. In reality, dissent is one of the most uniquely American values. As someone born and raised in the U.S., who has lived here my whole life, and who values the Constitution and the rule of law, I’m furious that idiots are pushing a Soviet version of censorship which would destroy what our forefathers fought and died for: freedom. I’m pissed off that they’re trying to destroy what makes us Americans. As Georgetown history ...

BELTON — A Bell County judge ruled Thursday a poster made by a Killeen Independent School District employee with a biblical quote from Peanuts character Linus van Pelt in the animated holiday special “A Charlie Brown Christmas” can go back up in the school. Judge Jack Jones, in the 146th District Court, issued a temporary restraining order against the school district removing the poster. The poster was made by Patterson Middle School employee Dedra Shannon, an aide in the school’s nurse’s office. She hung the poster on the door of the nurse’s office, but the school’s principal ordered it to be taken down. District officials and the Killeen school board ...

Roger Staubach is officially at ends with President-Elect Donald Trump. It began with Trump following the presidential tradition of attending the Army- Navy game, as he was present and accounted for on Dec. 10 in Baltimore. All was well until the soon to be POTUS was asked his take on the game itself, and that's when things went a bit left. “Why did you decide to attend this particular game?” asked CBS Sports voice Verne Lundquist. "Today? Just love the armed forces. Love the folks,” Trump said. “The spirit is so incredible.” If he had stopped talking there it would have been a well-stated and heartfelt compliment. Alas, he continued and immediately ...

Ray Rosas is a free man tonight after a jury of his peers found him not guilty of shooting three Corpus Christi police officers on February 19, 2015. On that day, early in the morning, CCPD executed a no-knock search warrant, forcing entry into the home without first knocking and announcing they were the police. A flash bang grenade was fired into Rosas’ bedroom, reportedly stunning the 47-year-old, who then opened fire on the intruders. Three officers were wounded; officers Steven Ruebelmann, Steven Brown, and Andrew Jordan. Police were looking for drugs and Rosas’ nephew, who they suspected to be a dealer. However, the unnamed nephew was not home at the time of the raid. ...
DEA Blames the Media for Making It Harder to Arrest People over Weed

According to the DEA, the problem with cannabis in the United States isn’t that it’s still designated a dangerous drug with no medicinal value in spite of volumes of emerging scientific research indicating otherwise. The problem is actually that the media has made it difficult for government agents to arrest people for selling and consuming it. The DEA also blames the increasing trend of legalization across the United States. In its 2016 National Drug Threat Assessment Summary [pdf], the DEA observes that “While marijuana remains illegal under federal law, many states have passed laws allowing the cultivation, possession, and use of marijuana within their respective ...
