WASHINGTON — A conservative operative trumpeting his close ties to the National Rifle Association and Russia told a Trump campaign adviser last year that he could arrange a back-channel meeting between Donald J. Trump and Vladimir V. Putin, the Russian president, according to an email sent to the Trump campaign. A May 2016 email to the campaign adviser, Rick Dearborn, bore the subject line “Kremlin Connection.” In it, the N.R.A. member said he wanted the advice of Mr. Dearborn and Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, then a foreign policy adviser to Mr. Trump and Mr. Dearborn’s longtime boss, about how to proceed in connecting the two leaders. Russia, he wrote, was ...

As just about everyone in the English-speaking world already knows, late last night the Senate passed the tax reform package on a party-line vote, 51-49. (Tennessee’s Senator Bob Corker was the lone Republican to vote against it.) The bill includes provisions that not everyone will like – it will hurt homeowners in high-tax states such as New York and California – but it achieves several important things, including the repeal of the “individual mandate” provision of ObamaCare. There will be a joint House-Senate conference to resolve differences in the chambers’ bills. I predict that the most important features will survive. The ...

[...] Evgeniya Brik. Television and film actress, best known for “Hipsters” and “The Geographer Drank His Globe Away,” and the TV shows “The Thaw” and “The Optimists” The most incredible and unexpected thing is that this story has affected me not only personally, but professionally. I took part in a project that was partly produced by Harvey Weinstein, playing a small part on an American TV series. And now it’s unclear if the show will continue filming. I hope it doesn’t shut down. This is all appalling, of course. As I understand it, this person had enormous power, and he probably suffers from some psychological disorder. But in my ...
When Older Americans Die Who Will Speak For Freedom?

After writing a weekly conservative column for 12 years, one thing has become crystal clear. Only older Americans are reading and responding to what we write. When we say older Americans, we mean those over 70 years of age, with many of our responses coming from individuals well over 80.The results of the 2016 presidential election tell the story from the exit polls. 18 to 29 year-olds went 55% for Clinton. 30 to 44 year-olds went 50% for Clinton. 45 to 65 year-olds went 53% for Trump and 65 year-olds and older also went 53% for Trump. The male-female vote was essentially split. 54% of females voted for Clinton and 53% of males voted for Trump.But in the 2016 Primaries, what is even more ...
Justice? Flynn pleads guilty while Zarate walks

It is a sad day when Michael Flynn, who served our country honorably in the U.S. Army from 1981, with combat tours in Grenada, Haiti, Afghanistan, and Iraq, with multiple decorations, is hounded by Special Prosecutor Javert Mueller to plead guilty to a questionable process crime while Jose García Zarate, an illegal alien with multiple felony convictions, gets a walk from a San Francisco jury for killing Kate Steinle. Zarate, an illegal immigrant, who was deported multiple times, is represented by a public defender at taxpayer expense for killing an American citizen. Flynn, a decorated veteran, is driven to near bankruptcy to defend himself and forced to plead guilty. Flynn's ...
Reports: Mueller fires two from FBI assigned to his team whose anti-Trump texts could taint inquest

Multiple media outlets are reporting today details of how two romantically-involved FBI agents assigned to Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation of possible collusion between Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign and Russian government officials were fired by Mueller after he became aware of their text messages disparaging the president and praising Hillary R. Clinton–including commentary about presidential debate performances. The New York Times reported today that senior FBI agent Peter Strzok, the bureau’s deputy head of counter-intelligence, was reassigned to the FBI’s human resources section after Mueller learned of his text messages that came ...

Next Time A Democrat Talks About “Dignity” in Public Office, Show Them This List News Commentary By Thomas | Featured Commentator | December 1, 2017 2:42PM As The Political Insider reported, back in 2015, Charlie Rose had on actor Kevin Spacey as a guest, who himself has been among those outed as sexual predators. This video is so incredibly awkward, given that both Rose and Spacey have just ruined their careers after extensive sexual harassment accusations. Watch (below) the awkward interview where they discuss the shameful abuse of women by former President Bill Clinton. And of course, the two of them dismiss the accusations in a discussion that Rose leads with describing the ...

House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes has issued an angry demand to the FBI and Department of Justice to explain why they kept the committee in the dark over the reason Special Counsel Robert Mueller kicked a key supervising FBI agent off the Trump-Russia investigation. Stories in both the Washington Post and New York Times on Saturday reported that Peter Strzok, who played a key role in the original FBI investigation into the Trump- Russia matter, and then a key role in Mueller's investigation, and who earlier had played an equally critical role in the FBI's Hillary Clinton email investigation, was reassigned out of the Mueller office because of anti-Trump texts he ...

Methinks the sketchy FBI investigators are well aware of the risk if they become the subjects of the investigations. Specifically, as we noted earlier today, the orchestrated Deep State media leak within the Washington Post and New York Times is a clear indication the FBI political co- conspirators are aware of their exposure… And Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes, is righteously upset. Because, like us, Mr. Nunes can see how this game is being played out. The recently demoted FBI Deputy Head of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok was not only the lead FBI agent in charge of the Clinton email investigation… and he was not only the agent that interviewed ...
ABC’s Brian Ross suspended over erroneous Flynn report

ABC News investigative reporter Brian Ross was suspended for four weeks without pay tonight over his incorrect report that Michael Flynn was prepared to testify that Donald Trump told him to contact the Russians during his presidential campaign. Why it matters: It was a huge error that moved markets and damaged the network's credibility. The report was also passed along by Axios and other news outlets. In a statement, ABC News apologized and said the report "had not been fully vetted through our editorial standards process." The network later corrected the report to say that Trump gave him that instruction as president-elect — which is a big difference, since ...

Hawaii, Which Registers Guns and Medical Marijuana Users, Starts Disarming Patients

Citing state law, Honolulu's police chief tells them to turn in their guns. HPD Hawaii is one of 29 states that allow medical use of marijuana, but it is the only state that requires registration of all firearms. If you are familiar with the criteria that bar people from owning guns under federal law, you can probably surmise what the conjunction of these two facts means for patients who use cannabis as a medicine, which Hawaii allows them to do only if they register with the state. Some of them recently received a letter from Honolulu Police Chief Susan Ballard, instructing them to turn in their guns. "Your medical marijuana use disqualifies you from ownership of firearms and ...
DEA Claims Synthetic THC Made by a Group of Criminals is Safer Than Actual Weed. Seriously

As the Free Thought Project previously reported, one of the manufacturers of a fentanyl drug was exposed for lobbying against marijuana, while simultaneously bribing doctors to push their dangerous opioids. Now, after the federal government granted Insys permission to make a synthetic version of cannabis, they are claiming that it’s safer and more medically valuable than actual weed. Seriously. The DEA recently announced through the federal register that the synthetic THC made by Insys, sold under the brand name Syndros, will be listed as a schedule II drug, meaning it can now be prescribed by doctors. In the meantime, actual THC—containing the exact same properties, but able ...

While technically a nonprofit, the National Collegiate Athletic Association pulls down nearly $1 billion in annual revenues, thanks in large part to multi-million-dollar deals with television networks that want to showcase America's best college athletes playing football, basketball, and a bunch of other sports. There's nothing wrong with that, of course. The market for televised sports is hotter, and more valuable, than it's ever been. But when one of those valuable student-athletes had the nerve to earn a few thousand dollars running a popular YouTube channel—one that gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a college football player—the NCAA told him to ...

To serve in the U.S. Armed Forces, you must meet certain health and fitness requirements: you must be fit to serve. But a healthy group of young service men and women – many in their 20s – have come down with serious health problems since serving on a humanitarian mission to Fukushima, Japan, following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that led to a nuclear meltdown of the Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TepCo) nuclear power plant. Service members have faced cancer, brain tumors, birth defects, and other rare health problems since being exposed to radiation from the Fukushima plant. Some have even died. Courthouse News talked to some of these service members to find out what’s ...
Is The Fraudster Accusing Roy Moore of Sexual Assault Out for Revenge?

Breitbart has not exactly been an independent, nonpartisan source of news for the Roy Moore fiasco; Steve Bannon quite publicly put his chip on the Alabama Republican and no one is surprised to see his site playing the role of “head cheerleader” for the embattled candidate. While this means you have to take some of what’s being said on the site about Moore with a grain of salt, it doesn’t automatically invalidate all of their reporting. In fact, because they have such a vested interest in Moore’s victory, this scandal has actually inspired Breitbart to do some of their most remarkable investigative work to date. Such was the case this week when the site unveiled ...
NFL Bankrolls The Resistance to Trump

A $100 million fund to appease America-hating players while sticking the knife in patriotic fans. The dying National Football League is choosing its America-hating, national anthem-protesting multimillionaire players over patriotic sports fans by funneling close to $100 million to leftist charities like those founded by admitted communist Van Jones. The corrosive fairy tale, embraced by professional football, that police use black Americans for target practice is malicious nonsense but it is a useful lie, good for direct-mail campaigns and MoveOn solicitations. With this new initiative, NFL Commissar Roger Goodell is affirming for the umpteenth time that it is in the business of ...

The first plague – skin cancer – will begin to abet But the others -- especially global warming -- will continue for a while yet 2. Trump together with some NATO nations and Russia, et al, will take out Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi— The ...

from the christ,-what-a-coward dept Something's very wrong with Albuquerque-area law enforcement. The Albuquerque Police Department has been described as a "criminal enterprise." These words didn't come from an activist group or an enraged op-ed in the local paper, but rather from a departing District Attorney in a letter to the DOJ. The DOJ is at least partially aware of the Albuquerque PD's criminal activities. Its 2014 investigation concluded APD officers routinely engaged in indiscriminate force deployment. Worse, those above the officers did almost nothing to curb misconduct and brutality. Beyond shooting citizens at an alarming rate, APD officers were found to ...

from the nothing-but-flagmen-on-the-legal-railroad dept Texas criminal justice blog Grits for Breakfast is highlighting a recent court decision in which several judges somehow found a way to uphold a conviction directly predicated on law enforcement deception. Here's a crazy case out of Harris County: The Government-Always-Wins faction on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals wrangled a four-member plurality on a habeas corpus writ to overturn the trial court's recommendation and uphold a conviction in which law enforcement misrepresented the weight of drugs found on a defendant, calling it 26 kilos when the real amount of actual cocaine was likely less than a gram. The reason ...

from the accurate-data-is-fake-news dept When a cop needs an excuse to search something (but can't manage to talk the citizen into consenting) there's almost always a four-legged cop waiting in the wings to give the cop permission to do what he wanted to do anyway. You will rarely hear testimony given in any court case where a K9 hasn't "alerted" to the smell of drugs. Once this "alert" is delivered, officers are free to override objections to warrantless searches under the theory that a dog's permission is all that's needed. What's willfully ignored by law enforcement officers is the nature of the beasts they deploy: dogs like pleasing ...
“We Are Witnessing A Deep State Coup” Flynn Prepared To Testify Against Trump After Being Bankrupted By Mueller Probe

According to ABC’s Brian Ross, Michael Flynn has promised “full cooperation to the Mueller team” and is prepared to testify that candidate Trump “directed him to make contact with the Russians, initially as a way to work together to fight ISIS in Syria.” Ross said a “confidante” told him Flynn is also prepared to testify “against President Trump, against members of the Trump family and others in the White House.” He said Flynn made the decision in the last 24 hours because he was facing “huge legal bills” of over a million dollars and he’s been forced to put his house up on the market. Were witnessing a deep state coup right ...
Legalizing Opioids Would Dramatically Reduce Overdoses
Post Date: 2017-12-01 17:46:25 by Hondo68

Many users substitute harder street drugs when access to less potent opioids is cut off. In his Liberty Forum essay, Robert VerBruggen argues that the dramatic increase in opioid deaths in the United States over the past two decades has resulted mainly from over-selling by pharmaceutical companies and over-prescribing by physicians and other healthcare providers. As such, he concludes that policy should further restrict access to prescription opioids, while expanding access to Medication Assisted Therapies (MATs) such as methadone and buprenorphine. Legalization would dramatically reduce overdoses. I argue here that opioid overdoses occur mainly when policies are in place that restrict or ...

Euclid, OH — Tensions among police and citizens in Euclid, Ohio have come to a head recently after police killed an unarmed 23-year-old man over a marijuana roach and officers were seen on video pulverizing another man over a suspended license. Now, the Euclid police department is sure to become infamous after body camera footage was released as part of a lawsuit against cops who mistook a colostomy bag for a gun and severely beat an innocent man. Lamar Wright had recently undergone a surgery last year when he was driving home and stopped to use the phone. According to a federal lawsuit filed against the Euclid Police Department on Thursday, Wright had simply pulled over to safely ...
