Whenever a Republican wants to move forward — you know, pass some legislation or even enforce the law as already written, they always, always, ALWAYS have to run through a mainstream media propaganda gauntlet dedicated to the status quo, loyal only to the Democrat cause and by extension opposed to anything resembling progress.
Gowen asked that Imran Awan’s GPS monitoring bracelet be removed, citing that Imran might need to attend to an emergency with his children. In a press conference outside court, Gowen admitted that the children are in Pakistan and refused to explain the discrepancy.
James Kallstrom: This whole thing was a joke to begin with, this so-called investigation of Hillary Clinton… The fact that a grand jury was never empaneled would tell any investigator, I don’t care if you’ve only been on the job for a day, that this whole thing was not going to be legitimate. And it wasn’t. It was an absolute joke… It makes no sense and he makes no sense. He makes no sense. He was just a total embarrassment. He let the American people down by not looking at these crimes… The crimes would land a normal person in Leavenworth federal prison.
One photo surrounding the relief efforts in Texas that’s made the national rounds is this one, which originated from the Katy High School football team’s Twitter account and has been shared by many outlets including Fox News:
Supporters of the human-induced climate change theory have been dependent on the melting ice in the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) to prove their claims. However, a new study reveals controversial findings on the alleged “recovery” of Earth’s glaciers.
The analysis of almost 3,000 onshore wind turbines — the biggest study of its kind —warns that they will continue to generate electricity effectively for just 12 to 15 years.
The world would have warmed throughout the 20th Century even without carbon dioxide emissions from the industrial revolution, according to a new study.
A perennial problem for climate science is that much of it lies in the realm of abstraction. Various models and forecasts compete for relevance, based on arcane statistical formulations that appear as so much gibberish to science reporters and readers alike.
As Politico points out today, previously unreported FBI and Department of Homeland Security studies found that “anarchist extremist” group like Antifa have been the “primary instigators of violence at public rallies” going back to at least April 2016 when the reports were first published.
Confusion reigns. But one thing is clear: The term [Antifa] has been quickly weaponized. Blended with some hazy terms like “alt-left,” it became politically useful to the right, and certainly to the president.
“Just like you cannot wear a Swastika to school, You cannot wear ‘make America great again’ like that. Please go, at least for this class. I don’t care what you do in other classes,” the teacher said to the students wearing the MAGA shirts.
Honestly, no commentary is needed, but here we go …
This stems from President Trump’s campaign promises to end unfair trade deals and renegotiate for more fair terms for the United States. South Korea doesn’t pay for the THAAD missile defense system shielding it from North Korean attacks. In April, President Trump made it known he believes the South Koreans should pay for it.
I should point out that withdrawing from the trade deal is not popular among military brass. They see the THAAD defense system as a way to protect the US west coast and Hawaii. I should also point out that it’s a well-known strategy of Trump’s to threaten withdrawal of trade deals, only to pull back after renegotiations start.
The CNN piece is arguing that pulling out of the South Korean trade deal will weaken their economy, and undermine them in the face of a growing North Korean threat. Thus, emboldening North Korean aggression. This logic, however, is flawed.
The constant flow of US arms, training, support, and manpower to prop up South Korean defenses has not kept North Korea in check. They’ve been conducting nuclear tests since 2006. Their provocative missile launches have become a common occurrence in the past decade. Furthermore, in November 2010, a nuclear armed North Korea fired around 170 artillery shells and rockets at the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong. They hit both civilian and military targets, killed four and injured 19. All because they claimed South Korean artillery landed in North Korean waters. Next month is the seventh anniversary of that attack. There were no CNN pieces on how Obama’s base was risking nuclear war with North Korea at the time. It’s the closest to full-scale war we’ve been since the Korean War, and it happened under the policies Trump is vowing to change. The same policies others want to leave in place. That is one of the hundreds of incidents of provocation by North Korea. Yet, somehow, President Trump is the reason we face war with North Korean? The assertion isn’t just intellectually dishonest, it’s flat-out preposterous and laughable.
North Korea, and many in the West, have said that the U.S. and South Korea’s defensive posture is antagonizing to the North. North Korea claims it’s only acting the way it is because it’s surrounded by enemies, and they need to defend themselves. While I, and most, don’t believe that to be true, it is worth pointing out that both sides of the argument are claiming the other’s actions will lead to war.
The one thing everyone should understand is that it isn’t President Trump causing this. It isn’t his supporters demanding he keeps his campaign promises causing this. It’s North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un who’s causing this escalation. It’s Kim Jong Un who’s putting us on the path to war, even nuclear war. No one else is responsible for the current tensions … period. Any assertion otherwise is wrong.
The saddest part about the spread of fake news is that it usually takes 30 seconds to debunk. Had anyone who retweeted this nonsense (including Hollywood celebrities, and ‘news’ personalities) spend just a few seconds doing an internet search, they would have seen that it wasn’t true. Heck, the original video also disproves the original claim.

“We collectively made the decision with Robert to switch games as the tragic events in Charlottesville were unfolding, simply because of the coincidence of his name.
