(Video at link) The New York Times on Tuesday reported that Trump tried to pressure Comey to stop investigating former national security adviser Michael Flynn, citing a memo written by Comey. Asked by The Hill if the details in the memo would merit impeachment if they're true, Amash replied: "Yes." "But everybody gets a fair trial in this country," Amash added as he left a House GOP conference meeting. Asked by another reporter whether he trusted Comey's word or Trump's, Amash said: "I think it's pretty clear I have more confidence in Director Comey." Amash is one of only two House Republicans to cosponsor a Democratic bill to establish ...

After an extraordinary 10 days, the tenure of the chief executive may have deteriorated beyond his ability to repair it. After an astonishing week of revelations, Donald Trump’s presidency appears to be on the verge of collapse.Consider what has happened just in the last 10 days: a string of damaging stories about a president unprecedented since at least the Nixon administration.On May 8, former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates appeared before Congress, offering testimony under oath that contradicted White House statements about Michael Flynn’s firing as national-security adviser, and which indicated Trump had waited 18 days after learning Flynn had lied to the vice president ...
What Does Barack Obama Really Think of Donald Trump? ‘He’s Nothing But a Bullsh–ter’

Cool, even-keeled, no-drama Barack Obama is one of the few people in the country who hasn’t publicly opined on the tweets and turmoil wrought by President Trump. And so a persistent question to those close to the former president is: What does Obama really think of the man now occupying the Oval Office? “He’s nothing but a bullsh–ter,” Obama told two friends early last November, describing an election night phone call with Trump, in which the businessman suddenly professed his “respect” and “admiration” for Obama—after years of hectoring. Speaking to PEOPLE for its new cover story on Obama and his wife Michelle adjusting to life outside ...

BOSTON (AP) — Black students at Harvard University are organizing a graduation ceremony of their own this year to recognize the achievements of black students and faculty members some say have been overlooked. More than 700 students and guests are registered to attend Harvard's first Black Commencement, which will take place two days before the school's traditional graduation events. It isn't meant to replace the existing ceremony, student organizers say, but rather to add something that was missing. "We really wanted an opportunity to give voice to the voiceless at Harvard," said Michael Huggins, president of the Harvard Black Graduate Student Alliance, a ...

The largest agriculture pro-outsourcing organization says President Donald Trump has “assured” them that the current flow of foreign workers in the farming industry will continue unreformed. American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall told Reuters most recently that Trump promised to keep the H-2A foreign guest worker visa program, which gives hundreds of thousands of low-skill farm jobs to foreigners intact. “He assured us we would have plenty of access to workers,” Duvall said. Meanwhile, the White House said the meeting with Duvall and other pro-outsourcing farm organizations was “very productive.” Center for Immigration Studies Fellow David ...

Former Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich, a democrat, said on Fox News Tuesday morning that there is a “high BS quotient” on claims made by anonymous sources in the Washington Post story that claimed President Donald Trump provided classified information to Russian officials. Kucinich told host Shannon Bream, “If this information was so sensitive, then why did intel leak it to the Washington Post? Whoever leaked it undermined the alliance.” The Democrat former congressman continued: …something is out of control here. there is an effort here to up end the relationship with russia. put us at odds. it started during the obama administration in october of 2016 when it ...
Vladimir Putin says can prove Trump did not pass Russia secrets

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that U.S. President Donald Trump had not passed any secrets onto Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during a meeting in Washington last week and that he could prove it. Speaking at a news conference alongside Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni, Putin quipped that Lavrov had not passed what he said were the non-existent secrets onto him either. Putin said Russia was ready to hand a transcript of Trump's meeting with Lavrov over to U.S. lawmakers if that would help reassure them. Two U.S. officials said on Monday that Trump had disclosed highly classified information to Lavrov about a planned Islamic State operation, plunging ...

Tulsa, OK — Tulsa Police Officer Betty Shelby fatally shot 40-year-old Terence Crutcher in September when he experienced car trouble after leaving night classes at Tulsa Community College. On Monday, Shelby testified in her own defense to attempt to justify the killing of this unarmed man — and shamelessly blamed him — stating she has “no regrets” about what happened. Shelby, who faces up to life in prison if convicted of first-degree manslaughter, blames Crutcher for his own death. Incidentally, this is not the first time this killer cop blamed the victim. In a brazenly despicable fashion, Shelby went on 60-minutes in April and explained ...
Donald Trump Has Destroyed the Credibility of the Presidency

There is no longer any reason to trust anything the president or his surrogates say. Shortly after multiple outlets published reports last night that President Donald Trump had shared highly sensitive, classified information about an ISIS plot with Russian officials in an Oval Office meeting last week, White House officials stepped up to respond with denials. The denials were hard to believe because Trump has destroyed the credibility of his office. The most extensive denial came from national security advisor General H.R. McMaster. "The story that came out tonight, as reported, is false," he said. "At no time were any intelligence sources or methods discussed and no ...

I heard tell some teen died of a “caffeine overdose” back east someplace after downing a cappuccino, a diet Mountain Dew, and an energy drink. One would imagine in rapid-fire order. Of course, there are immediate calls for “something to be done.” There is something to be done. It’s called getting your head out of your dufflebag. Look, yes, there is an LD-50 for caffeine. It’s something like 100 cups of coffee. But if you don’t do your own due diligence on the stuff you put into your own body, how on earth can the government convince you to do so? You can drink too much water and die, too. It actually happened recently as part of a radio show contest that ...

However, the religious right’s idol-worship of the president is only the latest chapter in a long history of conservative Christians selling their souls for 30 pieces of silver, which, in American politics, is a seat at the table.

The States Are Revolting Against the War on Drugs

On the same day that Attorney General Jeff sessions announced that he would attempt to revamp the war on drugs, it came to my attention that potentially more important events regarding the war on drugs were taking place in Vermont, the “freedom and unity” state. It would seem that the state legislature in Vermont has voted to eliminate the war on marijuana in the state for recreational use. This is important, critically so, because all of the efforts to legalize recreational marijuana so far have been done by the processes of voter-sponsored ballot initiatives and referendums. In other words, marijuana legalization is now taking place in at least one state legislature, not just ...

(Reuters) - A Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman on Tuesday advised that people don't read American newspapers, in response to U.S. media reports that President Donald Trump had disclosed classified intelligence at a meeting with Russian officials. The spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, said she had received dozens of messages asking about the reports, which have been denied by the White House. "Guys, have you been reading American newspapers again?" she wrote on her Facebook page. "You shouldn't read them. You can put them to various uses, but you shouldn't read them. Lately it's become not only harmful, but dangerous too." (Reporting by Katya Golubkova; ...
Trump Tax Plan Eyes Cut to Deduction for High-Tax States
Post Date: 2017-05-16 11:57:44 by Tooconservative

President Donald Trump’s tax plan, a broad and general plan that would make supply-siders such as Ronald Reagan and Jack Kemp very happy, could be held up by a number of details that are making some Republicans nervous. One is the elimination of an income-tax deduction for high-tax states such as New York and California. Former President Ronald Reagan targeted that deduction in the 1980s — the last time significant tax reform was passed — but a number of influential big-state Republicans helped kill the idea. Tax reform passed anyway, first with the Kemp-Roth tax-cut package, in 1981, and then the Tax Reform Act, in 1986. They were massive reforms, and no major fix for ...
K-12: Knowledge Containment Protocols

Schools have always been devoted to passing knowledge forward to the next generation. Not now. The Education Establishment treats knowledge as if it were a toxic spill that must be kept away from students. Board up the windows; tape the doors; wrap the buildings in three-mil. plastic. This might sound comical or far-fetched. But I assure you that the Progressives in charge of our schools are methodical about using any pretext to minimize contamination by knowledge. Everyone should wonder why. In the beginning of the Progressive era, the attack on knowledge was straightforward. The basic claim was, who needs it? John Dewey sneeringly ...

Beaver, PA — For many years we, at The Free Thought Project, have published story after story of small-town police departments and officers allegedly terrorizing its residents with threats of being tasered, beatings, head-stomping, and arm breaking arrests at the hands of the very people who are sworn to protect and serve them. Unleashing attack dogs on compliant citizens is also, unfortunately, a very real part of that list. Beaver, Pennsylvania has a population of just over 4,000, with one of its residents being James Cicco (34). Cicco told his lawyers he has been harassed by police in the past, so when Beaver Police Officer Jeffrey Wijnen-Riems attempted to pull over Cicco for a ...

Harris County, TX — An innocent mother’s assault by a police officer highlights the risk people take when calling 911 for help. Angela Lopez needed the police for help but when they showed up, help was the last thing she got. The Free Thought Project spoke with Mrs. Lopez, who wants her story told so that others do not share her brutal fate. On August 16, 2014, Lopez had an altercation with her daughter. So, she called the cops to help her resolve this situation. “I was involved in a physical incident with my oldest daughter that turned out bad. I was really upset because she had hit me and bit me in the knee. I wanted her and ex-boyfriend out of my home. After they refused ...

President Donald Trump responded to the leaked news that he had shared intelligence about Islamic State terrorists during a meeting with the Russian foreign minister and ambassador. “I have been asking Director Comey & others, from the beginning of my administration, to find the LEAKERS in the intelligence community,” he wrote on Twitter, suggesting that the former FBI director’s failure was one of the reasons why he was fired. Democrats and the media reacted hysterically to the news, after intelligence officials revealed details about Trump’s discussion with the Russians in the Oval Office. The information pertained to details of the ongoing fight with the ISIS ...

Around Spice, everyone can hear you scream. As the Trump White House continues to endure yet another evening in crisis mode, this perhaps its darkest night of the soul yet, reporters assigned to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue say tensions are running high. Following the briefest of briefings in which National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster publicly addressed the report that President Trump had revealed highly classified information to Russian officials by saying little else beyond, "I was in the room, it didn't happen," staff members were left to scurry about after he spoke for approximately one minute. One America News reporter Trey Yingst first spotted Press Secretary Sean ...
