President Trump in the White House. I just read that the Trump administration has filled only 22 of the 553 key positions that require Senate confirmation. This makes me worry that the administration will not have enough manpower to produce the same volume and standard of incompetence that we’ve come to expect so far.Granted, in its first few months the administration has produced an impressive amount of ineptitude with very few people.On his worst days Sean Spicer can produce more errors than 10 normal men on their best days. Kellyanne Conway can flail her way through television confrontations 24/7 and still have the stamina to lose to the Teletubbies on Saturday morning.The White ...

Rome (AFP) - Emma Morano, an Italian woman believed to have been the oldest person alive and the last survivor of the 19th century, died Saturday at the age of 117, Italian media reported. Morano, born on November 29 1899, died at her home in Verbania, in northern Italy, the reports said. "She had an extraordinary life, and we will always remember her strength to move forward in life," said Silvia Marchionini, the mayor of Verbania, a small village of some 2,000 residents. According to the US-based Gerontology Research Group (GRG), Morano ceded the crown of the world's oldest human being to Jamaican Violet Brown, who was born on March 10, 1900. Morano's death, at the ...
Russia Says Syria Invited Chemical Weapons Experts to Idlib

Russia called for international inspectors to visit Idlib, where the U.S. accused Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad of carrying out a deadly chemical weapons attack against his own citizens. Syria’s government invited the Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to visit the site of the April 4 incident and the airbase that the U.S. later bombed, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said. Representatives of United Nations Security Council members, the European Union and the Middle East should travel with OPCW inspectors to ensure a “transparent” investigation, he said at a meeting with his Qatari counterpart Mohammed Al Thani Saturday in Moscow. U.S. President Donald Trump ...

Let’s put on a show. For a good cause, of course. Call it the Andy Hardy Strategy. All singing. All dancing. Fundamentally, all fluff; that is, all surface. And the central key to success? A deceptive, shameless appeal to emotion. Oscar Levant once said, “Beneath all the tinsel and glitter of Hollywood—is more tinsel and glitter.” How aptly this characterizes the unfolding essence of Donald Trump. The old MGM Andy Hardy films most famously showcased the teenaged Mickey Rooney (all energy, and without an ounce of self-reflection) and the talented Judy Garland. Propelled by some trivial goal which necessitated raising money, the pair would embark on a whirlwind effort to ...
Kremlin on the Potomac: Trump’s White House makes Americans into strangers in a strange land

Donald Trump’s administration is a black box of confusion, chaos and incompetence. Those on the outside looking in are left confused and bewildered, desperately seeking signs and portents of what the most powerful man in the world will do next. This is not normal. In a time of global crises and increasing tensions it is also very dangerous.The United States is supposed to be the world’s leading democracy. The health of a democracy is highly dependent on transparency and accountability. Trump’s administration has repeatedly shown his disdain for both of those fundamental principles. This is a lubricant for America’s further descent into fascism. It also signals to a much ...
Congress Charges Secret Fee to Land Top Committee Spots (Draining The Swap?)

Members of Congress must pay secret fees known as “party dues” to the Democratic and Republican parties to secure and maintain top committee chairmanships and assignments, newly uncovered internal documents reveal. The never-before-published lists are reprinted inside the new book Extortion: How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes, and Line Their Own Pockets, written by Government Accountability Institute President and Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer. Senior congressional staffers say the committee price lists have long been rumored to exist but that few people on Capitol Hill have seen them, giving them an almost “mythical” quality. The ...
North Korea Deports 600,000 from Capital as Trump Sends Armada Their Way

Following the missile strike on Syria, President Trump has now sent an armada North Korea’s way, and they have decided to evacuate 600,000 people from the capital. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un gave the order to evacuate, according to Korea Joongang Daily. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un recently ordered the deportation of nearly 600,000 Pyongyang residents to the suburbs, a local source told the JoongAng Ilbo Monday. The deportation represents one-fourth of Pyongyang’s current population of 2.6 million. It is not known when they will be forced to move or to where. “Population control was the pretext of the latest order,” said the source, who asked for anonymity, ...
U.S. District Attorney Quietly Pursuing Treason Charges Against Top Democrat

It looks like justice is FINALLY going to be served. We have been waiting for this for a long time! The past eight years have been rough, almost unbearable. Payback is finally around the corner. U.S. District Attorney Dana Boente is now going after former president Obama for the crime of treason. Obama managed to drag our country down to a low we, as a country, have never seen before. Our national debt is unfathomable, there is an intense racial tension stirred up by the PC administration, and overall, as a nation, we just feel defeated. We’re sick and tired of seeing criminals go unpunished, as is Dana Boente — and he’s coming to our rescue. The former president ...

The Huffington Post South Africa has a brilliant new progressive plan to solve all of Africa's problems: deny white men the right to vote, then vote to steal their assets. It's all detailed in a new article titled, "Could It Be Time To Deny White Men The Franchise?" by "activist and a feminist" Shelley Garland, who says "she" is "completing an MA degree in philosophy." "When she's not gagging at South Africa’s unique brand of rainbow politics, she's working on ways to smash the patriarchy," Garland wrote in "her" bio. Incidentally, Garland is clearly a dude: Garland writes in The Huffington Post: Some ...

Wisconsin Says You Can’t Buy Kerrygold Butter Until A Bureaucrat Tastes It For You

It may well be the Platonic Ideal of Butter. But folks in Wisconsin will never know because some apparatchik on the sixth floor of the Department of Agriculture has not yet spoken.Wisconsin law forbids the sale of any butter unless it has first been sampled and “graded.” This is not to ensure the product is not contaminated or otherwise dangerous. It is not even to determine whether it has nutritional value. It is, rather, a mandatory taste test in which a government “connoisseur” must assess whether a butter has “fine and pleasing” flavor or tastes too “acidic.”This bureaucrat must evaluate its aroma and texture and affix a letter grade. That grade ...
The Syria Strikes: A Conspiracy Theory

On the morning of April 4th 2017, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, on the verge of a military victory against the terrorist insurgency in his country and on the eve of peace talks that would secure his position as president, decided to use chemical weapons he didn’t have against a target of no military significance in front of as many cameras as possible to cross the one red line that would insure his own government’s downfall. Soon after, the Academy Award-winning White Helmets–noted for their Oscar-worthy performances, persistent proximity to Al Qaeda, and financial dependence on USAID–bravely risked their lives, handling Sarin victims barehanded against every ...
Trump and Kelly ‘Dismantle’ Obama’s ‘Progress’ for Illegal Immigrants

A former Obama Administration official responsible for the detention of illegal immigrants said President Donald Trump and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary John Kelly are “dismantling the progress we had made.” Kevin Landy, President Barack Obama’s director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Detention Policy and Planning, took exception to President’s Trump’s decision to shut down his department. Under Secretary Kelly, the DHS is poised to change some of the hotel-like conditions illegal immigrants, including criminals, receive while in detention. As an example, illegal immigrants in two Orange County, California, detention ...

Well, I hate to say I told you so, but…I told you so. Look, I was suspicious of Trump from the beginning. But for a couple weeks into his presidency, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I didn’t just criticize the man day in and day out from Day One. After a couple weeks, though, it became very obvious that he was no different than any other president. I’ve been predicting he’d get us into two no-win wars long before this deal with Syria and North Korea began. Well, this morning the news has “revealed” photos of a North Korean nuclear test site they’re about to go hot with a new test on. Right, just like the Syrian gas attack, ...
Border crossings by illegals with children down 93% since December — thanks to smart PR by Trump and team

A nifty analysis by Reuters that helps explain the broader decline in illegal border crossings since Trump took office. Just one question: What happens when would-be illegals realize that Trump is bluffing? In December, 16,000 parents and children were apprehended; in March, a month in which immigration typically increases because of temperate weather, the number was just over 1,100… Trump has spoken about the need to crack down broadly on all illegal immigrants. But, internally, according to the DHS officials familiar with the department’s strategy, his administration has focused on one immigrant group more than others: women with children, the fastest growing demographic of ...

Sources confirm large-scale attack on North Korea in the works (INTELLIHUB) — The United States is planning a preemptive strike on North Korea in the likely event that the rogue nation moves to carry out yet another nuclear test, according to multiple reports in the mainstream media that Intellihub News can now confirm. With U.S. officials believing that a promised “big event” from the communist nation means yet another nuclear weapons test, the apparent planned attack could happen at literally any moment. “The intelligence officials told NBC News that the U.S. has positioned two destroyers capable of shooting Tomahawk cruise missiles in the region, one just ...
White House Officials Misstate the Number of Chemical Attacks by Assad

In the aftermath of the chemical weapons attacks in Idlib province and the subsequent response of cruise missile strikes on a Syrian airbase authorized by President Trump, both National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson have asserted that the Syrian government has perpetrated in excess of 50 chemical weapons attacks going back to 2013. In September of that year, Bashar al-Assad struck a deal, with Russia's assistance, to rid Syria of chemical weapons to avoid air strikes threatened by then-President Obama. However, the actual number of confirmed chemical attacks by the regime appears to be significantly lower than McMaster and Tillerson claimed, and ...

And so Donald Trump flips on yet another issue. One day after the President reversed his core stance on a broad range of policies including the US Dollar, interest rates, the futures of Janet Yellen, the Ex-Im bank, the obsolescence of NATO and whether China is a currency manipulator, on Thursday afternoon he took aim at Wikileaks and Julian Assance, when CIA Director, Mike Pompeo, in his first public appearance since taking the top intel post in the Trump administration, called the whistleblower organization a "non-state hostile intelligence service" abetted by state actors like Russia. "It's time to call out WikiLeaks for what it really is: A non-state hostile ...

If you read closely between the warped headlines of the establishment media, you will eventually find the truth about Trump’s decision to strike the Syrian government: it was illegal. Yet most mainstream media outlets clearly supported the strike. Many U.S. allies also supported the strike, including so-called peaceful countries such as New Zealand, which stated the strikes were a “proportional response to a specific incident – the chemical weapons atrocity.” New Zealand also said they would consider sending troops to Syria if the American government requested them. Why isn’t the legality of Trump’s reckless move even on the table for discussion? Is it ...

As The Trump administration is flexing its military muscle, having stood up to Syria and its ally Russia, and while it’s now relishing in the news it has dropped the nation’s largest most-powerful non-nuclear bomb on a cave complex in Eastern Afghanistan, one critic was quick to point out one little-known fact. Wikileaks tweeted a simple but true statement concerning the origin of the cave complex the Americans are so proud to have reportedly destroyed. “Those tunnels the U.S is bombing in Afghanistan? They were built by the CIA,” Wikileaks tweeted. Linked to the tweet was a New York Times article from 2005, which described a similar cave complex in detail, ...

Weslaco, TX — Americans, it seems, are increasingly becoming desensitized to police violence — to the point that unarmed fathers being gunned down in front of their children barely registers as a blip on the nightly news radar. According to newspaper editors, however, “stories about animal abuse often generate more responses from upset readers than articles about violence directed toward humans.” Reports from police agencies support the claim that “shooting a dog brings more heat down on an agency than an officer-involved shooting of a human.” One would think that because the stigma associated with police officers shooting dogs is often worse than police ...

Threats towards the United States from North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un are hardly uncommon, but the bizarre Pyongyang regime is stepping up their war rhetoric in the wake of President Trump’s Syria strikes. Noting the escalating training exercises the U.S. is conducting across the border to the south of their country, North Korean state media warned Tuesday that they would unleash a nuclear weapons attack at the slightest provocation from U.S. military forces. The state’s official newspaper said the regime was ready to respond to any aggression. “Our revolutionary strong army is keenly watching every move by enemy elements with our nuclear sights focused on the U.S. ...
Americans Are Too “Idiotic To See How Enslaved They Are” Even As the Gates of Hell Open Up (10 Reasons Trump’s Attack on Syria Was Idiotic and Based on Lies)

There’s a whole sordid history to America’s idiotic return to war again – and again – even though each and every episode, each and every war has wound up being a pile of lies. But there’s no time to go into that here, and it’s besides the point. If the truth were simply sitting there, on a platter, it would still remain unknown. So disorienting is the multi-pronged, two-sided propaganda regime that controls our thinking, and thus our lives, that Americans seem incapable of learning from their past mistakes – making them regressive and defenseless animals that are being easily manipulated and contained by the larger collective organism that has pushed for ...
Top Missile and Chemical Weapons Expert Debunks Trump’s Claims About Syrian Chemical Weapons

The Trump administration claims that it has proof that the Syrian government dropped chemical weapons from an airplane on April 4th. But a top missile and chemical weapons expert told Washington’s Blog today that the weapon was not delivered by an airplane at all … Specifically, we called Dr. Theodore Postol, professor of science, technology, and national security policy at MIT. Postol’s main expertise is in ballistic missiles. He has a substantial background in air dispersal, including how toxic plumes move in the air. Postol has taught courses on weapons of mass destruction – including chemical and biological threats – at MIT. Before joining MIT, Postol ...
