Most Americans across the country have already gotten a head start on celebrating Independence Day by taking advantage of the long weekend. Knowing that most people’s plans probably include a barbecue or two, you may want to think twice before getting your grilling on. Authorities have just issued an urgent warning after one man nearly died from a common item at cookouts and there could undoubtedly be more if some don’t get the message in time.

Barbecues are part of what makes summer so great but there’s something that could ruin it in a hurry if you’re not careful. Hot grills, coals, and undercooked meat are certainly all obvious dangers, but now there’s something far sneakier to be concerned about that could severely harm or kill you or anyone at your barbecue.

Chester Poole was cooking burgers for his family and had made one he was really proud of. Anticipating that first bite, he bit down into his masterpiece that had just come straight off the grill and got a sharp pain instead of the enjoyable juicy mouthful of grilled meat. Seconds later, he was screaming in pain and had to be rushed to the ER where he underwent emergency surgery.

Poole was diligent about cleaning his grill and like most people used a wire grill brush to clear off the grates. These seemingly indestructible tools can slough off more than just charred piece of food left behind, as Poole found out the hard way. Some of the tiny wire bristles had come off in the cleaning process. When Poole put his fresh meat on the grill, his patty picked up the bristle and had gotten lodged in his throat on his first bite.
CTV News reports:

Poole told CTV Atlantic on Thursday that he immediately went to the hospital where he was told to avoid drinking or eating until he could see an ear, nose and throat specialist in Halifax the next day.
“The doctor came in and he said, ‘I want to be brutally honest with you,’” Poole recounted. “He said, ‘There is one chance in 100 that I am even going to find this.”

The doctor who examined Poole’s throat, Dr. Tim Brown, said he generally sees a couple of similar cases every year.

“It is a tiny little needle and if you think of the neck as a haystack they can get lodged anywhere between the mouth and all the way down to the throat and even further, so finding it in soft tissue back there, this tiny little filament, can sometimes be almost a mission impossible,” Dr. Brown said.

Despite the slim odds, Dr. Brown was able to locate and remove the pin-sized metal bristle from Poole’s throat.
Authorities are warning of what to look for so this doesn’t happen to you or anyone else you know. While they encourage cleaning the grill, they say to be sure to check the bristles on your wire brush on a regular basis. Over time, they can become rusted, loose, or sparse and will stick to your grill without you realizing it. Since they are so small, you may not even see them on the grill and won’t even know it’s there until it gets in your food and into your body where it will certainly be felt.

Poole contends that his barbecue brush wasn’t even that old or well-worn when he swallowed the bristle, CTV News reports. “If you’re not concerned about yourself, I think you should be concerned about your kids, grandkids, even church groups that have church barbecues,” he said.

The Yarmouth man said he won’t be using another wire barbecue brush in the future and has since switched his previous one with a wooden scraper instead.

There is no shortage of things to be concerned about when trying to enjoy yourself this summer and especially this Independence Day. While these things shouldn’t hold you back, you need to be aware of the dangers as to avoid anything that could ruin your good time and our nation’s birthday. Spending time with those you love is the most important, which is better spent outdoors rather than in a hospital.

President Trump simply can’t stop winning.

The brilliant thing about Trump is that most of his winning stems from his amazing ability to negotiate.

He’s now using the same business savvy that made him a successful billionaire to negotiate with world leaders in the best interests of America.

In his latest victory, German Chancellor Angela Merkel caved to Trump’s pressure and has significantly reduced her G20 Climate Plan.

American strength.

We love it!

From Breitbart

Germany has ‘massively weakened’ its climate action plan for next week’s G20 summit in Hamburg in order to appease Donald Trump.

According to a shocked report in the green, EU-linked propaganda outlet Climate Change News this represents a disastrous cultural surrender which

“….shows the degree to which the German presidency has bent to the will of the Trump White House.”
In public, Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel has been talking tough on climate change, promising to put it at the forefront of the G20 summit and making none-too-subtle swipes at any world leaders out there who happen to dissent from her position.

Without naming him, Merkel appeared to lament U.S. President Donald Trump’s uncertainty about human-induced climate change, saying, “We can’t, and we won’t, wait until the last person on Earth is convinced of the scientific evidence for climate change.”
Behind the scenes, however, it would appear that Merkel’s negotiating teams have been bending over backwards to tone down the climate action plan and avoid an embarrassing rejection by Donald Trump.
This can be seen by comparing the two draft climate action plans for the summit, one from March and the revised one from May. According to Climate Change News, American negotiators have watered it down considerably.

“The US massively weakened the language in the energy part of the action plan,” one source with knowledge of the negotiations said. “It pushed for references to so-called ‘clean’ fossil fuels and made it less explicit that the energy transition has to be built on energy efficiency and renewables.”
“It also provided cover to some other G20 members – such as the Saudis and Russia – to weaken some climate sections of the document, including the pledge to phase out fossil fuel subsidies.”
Here are some of the elements which have been removed from the original draft:

“Psycho Joe” and “low I.Q. Crazy” Mika posted an op-ed in rebuttal to President Trump’s recent tweets, which were directed at them.

The two claim that they’re neither shocked or offended by Trump’s comments, but clearly they plan on capitalizing on this for their own gain.

In the op-ed, Mika and Joe addressed Mika’s facelift, which she claims wasn’t a lift, but only some light chin work.

Right…

From The Daily Caller
A noteworthy tidbit is this: They say the National Enquirer threatened to publish something “negative” about them, unless they “begged” Trump to have the story “spiked.” They refused.

And that face-lift?

The TV couple reported that Mika never had one.

“She did have a little skin under her chin tweaked, but this was hardly a state secret,” Joe’s voice said in the op-ed.

“Her mother suggested she do so, and all those around her were aware of this mundane fact.”

Sean Hannity, like the rest of America, is sick and tired of the vitriol from MSNBC’s anti-Trump sycophants on Morning Joe.

The two “lovebirds” have been viciously attacking President Trump for months now, spreading rumors and fake news, as a way to garner ratings and destroy our America First president.

Enough was finally enough, and President Trump, always the “counterpuncher,” fired back at the gruesome duo and delivered a knockout punch.

Now, Hannity is saying he’s sick of the attacks against Trump too, and is getting close to “going there” with Mika and Joe.

Grab your popcorn, this is bound to get GOOD!

From Washington Examiner

Fox News host Sean Hannity expressed his negative feeling towards MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mike Brzezinski on Saturday amid Trump’s controversial three-day feud with the couple that has gained nationwide attention.
Hannity tweeted Saturday saying he was very close to going “there” with the show hosts because he “is sick of their BS.”

We can all agree on one thing — the Islamic State is a huge danger to every single free country in the world. Luckily, after relentless barrages, another HUGE victory for Trump and the rest of the free world just took place.

Jihad Watch announced the victory as it described how the Islamic State now controls an area that is about the same size as Belgium. Thanks to a recent LARGE victory, the size of their territory has dropped a staggering 60%, and it’s all due to Trump’s takedown of an ISIS caliphate. That’s more than Obama EVER did!

The caliphate was initially taken over on June 29, 2014, and was retaken exactly three years later. Now, we have to start thinking about where these terrorists are going to go. We all know the left will GLADLY invite them here, and that has us thinking.

Left-wingers tend to think we should just open our borders, and let anyone in, whether they have paperwork or not. It might sound nice to them — to appear like caring and deep people. In their ignorance, they’ve forgotten — or just don’t care — about the risk thrown onto the REST of us because of their foolish mentality.

The symbolic victory came when Iraqi government troops marched into the “capital” of the Islamic State, Mosul. The troops battled in Mosul for days, fighting the savages, and scrapping for control of the city.
Finally, ISIS was defeated, and the Iraqis took back the Great al-Nuri Mosque. That’s where the Islamic State initially announced their takeover. It’s a huge victory we ALL needed.

It looks like President Trump’s plan is all coming together. When he went on his first tour of the world, he spoke with Middle Eastern leaders about the issue of terrorism. Trump explained that NO NATION should have to deal with terrorists on their soil.

Our president went on to say that, essentially, the only way we’re going to stop these savages is if we corner them, and leave them with NOTHING. Looking at the actions of the Iraqi government, it seems safe to assume that they listened to Trump — and are now enjoying the fruits of their victory.

It’s about time we started to see a major change in this “War on Terror.” This could be the biggest victory it’s seen since before Obama was in office. All Obama did was cater to terrorists, and made life difficult for the rest of us. Now that we have a real president in office who wants to improve the world, we’re seeing changes occurring at a drastic pace.

Things got tense this week when former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta appeared on Fox Business Network and was asked about 75,000 shares of stock he allegedly owns in a Kremlin-backed company.

Fox News reported that host Maria Bartiromo asked Podesta to explain what he did with the 75,000 shares of stock in Joule Energy he was given and failed to disclose when he joined Barack Obama’s White House as an advisor to the president.

“It’s not a Russian company,” Podesta said.

“It’s backed by the Kremlin,” Bartiromo shot back.

“I did not have any stock in any Russian company, so go back and get your facts straight, Maria,” Podesta snapped. “I was on the board of an American company that did business here and only here. The Russian company had a small investment in that company.”

On Tuesday, Podesta testified on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election before the House Intelligence Committee in a closed hearing. During the 2016 election, Wikileaks released tens of thousands of the Clinton campaign chair’s emails after Russia hacked the Democratic National Committee.

While she was Secretary of State, Clinton let a Russian company to acquire 20 percent of the U.S.’ uranium capacity. After doing this, she was awarded $100 million from the Russian company, Uranium One.

A new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reveals that the infamous “Obamaphone” program, meant to provide low-income Americans phone and internet service, is riddled with waste, fraud, and abuse.

A three-year investigation into the controversial Lifeline Program, requested by Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO), says some 10.6 million Americans have an Obamaphone and more than 3.8 million or 36 percent of them may not be eligible.

GAO investigators sampled the program’s population and found that it had been paying for nearly 6,400 phones for people whom the government has listed as deceased; another 5,500 people were enrolled for two phones, and another group of people couldn’t prove they were eligible to receive their free phone.

“A complete lack of oversight is causing this program to fail the American taxpayer — everything that could go wrong is going wrong,” McCaskill said in a statement. “We’re currently letting phone companies cash a government check every month with little more than the honor system to hold them accountable, and that simply can’t continue.”

Originally conceived during the Reagan administration, Lifeline was initially meant to provide poor people with a phone in case of an emergency or, as time went on, to apply for a job.
Administered by the Federal Communications Commission, Lifeline requires telecommunication companies (At&t, Verizon, Sprint) to pay a percentage of their voice service revenues into a pool called the Universal Service Fund that is administered by an independent nonprofit company called the Universal Service Administrative Company. Telecom companies pass on the cost of their contributions to consumers, whose monthly bill includes a “universal service fee” charge.

The three-year GAO investigation found that the program has put away more than “$9 billion, as of September 2016 outside the Department of the Treasury in a private bank account.”

A spokesman for FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, who had already put the dubious program under review, said the “GAO report confirms that waste, fraud, and abuse are all too prevalent in the program.”

“Chairman Pai looks forward to working with his colleagues to crack down on the unscrupulous providers that abuse the program because every dollar that is spent on subsidizing somebody who doesn’t need the help by definition does not go to someone who does,” Pai’s spokesman added.

A Chicago Cubs outfielder disrespected Donald Trump in a truly vile way on Wednesday during an Oval Office meet-and-greet with the World Series champions. Unfortunately for him, however, he quickly learned there are big consequences to making such a disgusting move towards the president of the United States inside the Oval Office.

Daily Mail reported that Albert Almora, Jr, the Cubs center fielder, blatantly extended his middle finger while standing just feet away from Trump as he sat at his desk. Almora’s hands were in his pocket, but his left middle finger was clearly and purposely extended.

Moscow’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova was recently asked about the current state of U.S.-Russia relations. Though her answer was definitely long-winded, it’s well-worth the read because it contains information about “secrets” the Obama administration had asked the Russian government to keep private.
Since Barack Obama wanted this kept private, the liberal media of course followed suit and hid it as well.
“How do you see the future of Russian-US diplomatic relations in the context of the current atmosphere in Washington? Can you confirm that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will come to Moscow in April?” Zakharova was asked.

Here’s how she responded, courtesy of Cons Journal:

“Apparently, many volumes have been written about the development of Russian-US relations. I announced the release of the Foreign Ministry’s yearend Diplomatic Bulletin and even showed it at the previous briefing. I believe that about 20 per cent of that bulletin was devoted to Russian-US relations, the way we see them, how we want them to develop, what we expect from Washington, what we are willing to do with the United States, the priority areas of cooperation, areas where our cooperation should be revived without delay and the areas where this can wait, at least for a limited time.

This issue has been covered in interviews by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, comments by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov and in numerous statements made at all levels by representatives from various Russian agencies, political analysts and politicians, as well as officials from the legislative and executive authorities. We can talk about bilateral relations with a different degree of mastery, but we would like to start implementing our relationship at long last.

We provided our views on bilateral relations and the reasons for blocking them under President Obama. We said that we were willing to work with the new US administration, under President Trump. I don’t think we need to invent anything in this respect, because so much has been said before. Simply, we should start concrete practical work. We are ready for this.

You know that we always invite our American colleagues and diplomats to join bilateral or multilateral dialogues on issues in which the United States has traditionally played a big and active role, such as Syria, the consultations in Astana and many others. We expect Washington to formulate its foreign policy approaches in the form of a concept. We are ready for pragmatic and specific work on the principles that we have described many times.

As for the visit by US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and the information about it, this is what I can say. It’s not a secret that preparations for any visit include the coordination of the time when it can be announced. Visits by foreign ministers are public events that are never kept secret. At least, I don’t know about any secret visits by foreign ministers in Russia or the United States. Preparations for such a visit also include the coordination of the format, agenda and the date it can be announced to the public. It is a matter of propriety and respect for each other’s interests.
One side proposes a date, and the other side is expected to accept it. This date should be acceptable to both sides, because the foreign ministers have packed schedules. The issue also concerns the coordination of the agenda by experts. One side informs the other side of the issues it plans to discuss, and the other side needs to respond that the agenda is acceptable. In other words, the sides need to reach agreements on many issues, after which they can announce an upcoming visit. This is how we work with our colleagues.

It has been a controversial week in Washington D.C. after the President went after Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough of MSNBC. The journalistic television show has attacked the President on a consistent basis and the President hit back on social media. The President tweeted how terrible both journalists were and attacked Mika for an alleged bloody facelift. Brzezinsk attacked back referencing the Presidents tiny hands.
Shortly thereafter Brzezinski attacked First Lady Melania Trump. The journalist suggested that Trump wants out of her marriage with the President and is only staying in it for the sake of her son. She made those comments to a reporter with InStyle.

Brzezinski said,

“I know Melania. I haven’t talked to her in months, but if my gut is right, I don’t think she’s going to put up with it much longer. I know nothing. That’s just my instinct and I go with my gut and my gut’s always right. I’m just telling you, Melania’s got the worst job in the country and I don’t think she wants do it a lot longer. I think she will do it for as long as she has to for her son, and that’s it.”

In response the First Lady responded,

“It is sad when people try to further their own agenda by commenting on me and my family, especially when they don’t know me.”
Via Daily Mail:

“The short statement directly contradicted Mika’s claim to know the first lady – and came despite Melania’s first interview after her husband announced he was running for office being with Brzezinski.

Ironically she said then: ‘We have thick skin, and we know that people will judge him and people will call names.
She gave the interview inside her lavish and very golden New York City penthouse.

Brzezinski had commented during her television show with Scarborough that she’s fond of Melania as she gave her version of events on the night that’s at the center of their dispute with the president.

On New Year’s Eve she said that she and Scarborough stopped by Trump’s Palm Beach club at the president-elect’s request.”

Melania’s comments were interesting considering her first interview on the campaign trail was with the very reporter she just hit back at. Her account also directly contradicts Mika’s. Clearly she indicates they don’t nor did they know each other. This change in events is sadly unfortunate.

The President had previously offered to host their wedding at Mar-a-Lago and even offered to officiate. They had a very long conversation when Trump’s son in law inserted himself into the conversation. Scarborough even confirmed this after the inauguration when they had visited the White House.

Mika had reportedly said the following about the option of his officiating the wedding and even hosting it,

“The White House that I grew up in was an amazing place. If it weren’t Trump, it might be something to think about. The mental picture is just fascinating, but the reality is just . . . no. No, no, no, no, no.’”

After the President sent out the tweets the news anchors said the following about the President,

“We are both certain that the man is not mentally equipped to continue watching our show, ‘Morning Joe.”

While they denied that Mika had a facelift they admitted she tweaked her chin and that she had done something to her chin skin. But she insisted she never kept it a secret and was very public about it. They insist the President sent out his recent tweets after they refused to stop negative coverage of him. Despite alleged allegations that Trump said they would allow a tabloid to post a negative article about them if they didn’t stop. However, this was never proven.

Scarborough reportedly tweeted,

“Yet another lie. I have texts from your top aides and phone records. Also, those records show I haven’t spoken with you in many months. Why do you keep lying about things that are so easily disproven? What is wrong with you?”

White House advisor Kellyanne Conway told George Stephanopoulos of ABC the following about the controversy,

“I endorse the president’s right to fight back when he is being mercilessly attacked. I didn’t say I endorsed his attacks; I never said that. Bottom line: I endorse his ability to connect on social media with Americans.”

The First Lady proved that she is willing and able to defend herself and her family when they come under attack. Most importantly, she defends her husbands right to fight back and defend himself. She is a woman of few words but when she does speak people listen and they listen carefully.

While the mainstream liberal media has no problem attacking the White House administration, Melania shut them down in just one sentence with grace, class, and dignity. Proving she does not need to succumb to their level in order to engage with people who are beneath her. Good for her for defending herself and her husband.

As the Fourth of July weekend kicked off the First Family jetted off for a family weekend. All three, President Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, and First Son Barron Trump. The family appeared to be happy and carefree as they boarded and prepared to leave on Marine One. All were wearing various clothing pieces that were red, white and blue in honor of the weekend celebrations. One thing the couple almost forgot was there son! Barron was lagging behind him and they almost forgot him until he came running up from behind.

Their withdrawal from Washington D.C. come right on the heels of the President’s controversy with MSNBC hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough. The President tweeted comments about Mika’s alleged facelift and Mika tweeted a picture of a Cheerio’s box referencing the President’s “tiny hands.”
The family is set to spend the weekend in Bedminster, New Jersey where they have property. They are expected to stay until Monday and to come back to the Capitol for the events of the Fourth of July. The family was joined by the First Ladies parents Victor and Amalija Knavs.

Before walking onto Marine One the President placed his hand on his wife’s back in a likely show of support in light of gossip that their marriage is crumbling. Their have been rumors that she is only staying in the marriage for the sake of her child. MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski said the following about the Trumps marriage,

“I know Melania. I haven’t talked to her in months, but if my gut is right, I don’t think she’s going to put up with it much longer. I know nothing. That’s just my instinct and I go with my gut and my gut’s always right. I’m just telling you, Melania’s got the worst job in the country and I don’t think she wants do it a lot longer. I think she will do it for as long as she has to for her son, and that’s it.”

Via Daily Mail:
“Melania then issued a furious condemnation of Mika on Friday afternoon after the Morning Joe co-host suggested she wanted out of her marriage to the president.

The First Lady issued a statement to DailyMail.com, claiming Brzezinski does not know her, hours after an explosive interview with the MSNBC broadcaster appeared online.

‘It is sad when people try to further their own agenda by commenting on me and my family, especially when they don’t know me,’ she said.

The past eight years of the Obama administration has turned the education system upside down. Besides Obama giving free education to illegal aliens, the Muslim refugees that he allowed that entered the country under his watch, are now integrated into the schools.

Now for some strange reason, a school in San Diego United District planned to only protect Muslims from being bullied. A legal group along with six parents had enough of it. “It’s our position that the anti-bullying policies should protect all students regardless of ethnicity and affiliation, and they shouldn’t be singling out any religious group for special treatment, as they seem to be doing here,” said Charles LiMandri, President and chief counsel for the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund. He helped with filing the lawsuit in Federal court on behalf of the parents.

My observance of the past eight years showed that the separation between church and state clause was one-sided, especially toward Christians and religious Jews. Progressive atheist have such a hatred for Christians that they are willing to shove Islam down their throats. This is something to really think about. With this law that was put in effect to only protect Muslim students, what were the Muslim students able to do towards Christian and Jewish students, especially since many are refugees. The anti-bullying plan should be for all students not just Muslim. Something doesn’t seem right with the current law and not only should the school be sued but the school staff should be investigated for such a strange law that singles out non-Muslim students. With the global war on radical Islam, and Barrack Obama’s lax policies still intact, this could set up non-Muslim students to be terror victims.

Budweiser does things a little differently than most companies. Many companies embrace social justice, and spew liberal propaganda.

Adam Driver, the actor who plays villain Kylo Ren in the latest installments of the Star Wars franchise, has teamed up with Budweiser and Folds of Honor to award a scholarship to a well-deserving military family. (via The Political Insider)
Hayley Grace Williams, a nursing student, was awarded a Folds of Honor scholarship dedicated to the children and spouses of fallen or disabled veterans. Haley’s father was injured during a training exercise in preparation for Iraqi Desert Storm. He explained that he always felt guilty for not being able to deploy alongside his unit due to his injuries.

Haley’s father has been unable to work full time hours. Haley stepped up to help make ends meet, and dedicated 40 hours a week to working — while in school full time. Budweiser was so moved by Haley’s story, they decided to go above and beyond, and pledged to finance all the expenses for Haley’s final year in nursing school. Adam Driver, who is also a military veteran and philanthropist, decided to get involved. The actor traveled to Brodheadsville, Pennsylvania, to deliver the scholarship by hand.

Driver was personally moved by the Williams’ story, as he was also held back from a deployment due to a medical discharge. Driver was prompted to join the Marine Corps after the September 11th attacks, where he served as a mortarman in the Weapons Company.

Instead of getting behind democratically elected President Donald Trump and his bold vision for restoring America’s economy to its former greatness, some businesses run by liberals are foolishly taking potshots at Trump at their own expense.

One popular company just took it a step further when its CEO announced that she was promising her whole company would help lead the “resistance” against President Trump.
Outdoor clothing a sportswear company Patagonia, which is based in business-unfriendly California, is dedicating itself to fighting against President Trump. Its CEO Rose Marcario is reportedly unhappy that Trump is reevaluating all the bogus “national monuments” former President Obama used an outdated 1906 law to create as part of a federal land grab.

Said Marcario, “A president does not have the authority to rescind a national monument. An attempt to change the boundaries ignores the review process of cultural and historical characteristics and the public input.”

The enemy of my enemy is my friend should be the life-slogan that Obama goes by. It has never been a secret that Obama is full of love and support for the very muslim countries that want western civilization eradicated, and he has always paid special attention to our biggest enemy-Iran.

In 2011 after Iranian-supplied rockets wiped-out nearly 15 U.S. troops every month in Iraq, General “Mad Dog” Mattis requested to launch a retaliation strike against Iran. Of course Obama denied the request out-right.
nstead of punishing Iran the way a true American President would have, Obama took it upon himself to REWARD them with more than $10 billion in gold, cash, and other assets starting in 2013.

The Traitor-In-Chief stated that he feared such a strike would infuriate the Iranians, and cause the dissent of the Iraqi Occupation to escalate, and he wanted desperately to end that. Obama feared the plan risked starting a war with Iran and he desperately sought to become allies with Iran instead.

In typical fashion, Obama is setting up his lackeys to take the fall for his crimes. Susan Rice agreed to testify before the House Intel panel on Thursday, prompting Former President Obama to jet off to Indonesia on a moment’s notice. He landed in Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital, Friday. (via ABC News)

Indonesia is one of the few countries that has yet to sign an extradition treaty with the United States, offering protection if an arrest warrant is release for the former president. Barack Obama spent his formative years in Indonesia, the most populated Islamic nation. He lived in Jakarta from the ages of 6 – 10, after his mother married Barack’s step-father, Lolo Soetoro.
Susan Rice served as the national security advisor under Obama, and has been accused by President Trump of spying on members of his transition team before he was sworn into office on January 20th. Investigators revealed that Susan Rice was responsible for revealing the names of members of the Trump campaign who were captured during the course of foreign surveillance, in a process known as unmasking. Rice originally denied any connection to the highly improper unmasking in March, claiming she “knew nothing.” (via Fox News)

However, after new evidence emerged connecting Rice to the unmasking, the former security advisor was forced to admit that she routinely sought the identity of Trump associates. The Democrat narrative immediately shifted. The mainstream media went to bat for Susan Rice, and moved the goalposts. It’s undeniable that Susan Rice spied on President Trump, so the Democrats, and the media, claim the spying was legal — and that Rice didn’t leak the information. However, President Trump never accused Rice of breaking the law or leaking information. Instead, Rice abused her authority, and performed a legal act in a highly unethical manner. She then made the information available to a large number of political operatives, who eventually leaked the information to the press.

CNN, The NYT and now the Associated Press are reeling in scandal after getting caught creating ‘fake news’ and now we know that one big source has been Mass. Senator Elizabeth Warren!
Elizabeth Warren became famous after she was caught using her ‘Indian Heritage’ to get her college and political perks. …Only to find out she has no ‘Indian Heritage’.

She is a great big liar!
Not only is he a big fat liar, she knows she has been lying!

The most recent scandal involves a story the Associated Press invented about an imaginary meeting between EPA administrator Scott Pruitt and Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris, and then alleged that some kind of impropriety happened as a result.

The AP had to retract the story. Wonder where the story originated?

Amazing that this is nearly the exact mistake that cost three editorial staffers at CNN their jobs in a scandal that first exploded a week ago today.

It came from Elizabeth Warren who already knew it was a lie. She had already asked the Senate Intelligence Committee to look into it and she already knew it was false!

A Breitbart News investigation uncovered that no such “meetings” took place, the Senate Intelligence Committee was not investigating the matter, and the Treasury Department HAD ALREADY—at the urging of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) to now Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin before Trump’s inauguration—looked into it and determined the matter to be entirely “without merit.”

The CNN story said the Treasury Department was investigating the meeting at the behest of Elizabeth Warren who wanted to know whether it had involved a discussion of the economic sanctions the Obama administration had imposed on Russia. She already knew and did not care that she was trying to stir up a lie!
Breitbart News’s investigation into CNN’s very fake news piece forced the network to retract it. That has led to the resignation of three top officials from inside CNN. Now that the Associated Press has made literally the exact same mistake with different actors and players. It alleged a meeting took place that never occurred. That it supposedly led to something untoward that also didn’t happen. The news wire service is not stepping up and holding its staff to the same level of accountability. The only difference between the CNN scandal and this AP scandal is that the AP did not also inaccurately allege the existence of non-existent Senate and Treasury investigations.

You can count yourself how many of the 7 she is guilty of:

Proverbs 6:16-19 – 16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Breitbart reports that Warren’s office has not responded to requests for comment on this matter. CNN’s Kuhn has not denied that Warren was involved in the publication of the hit piece the network has retracted.

Of course then there is the big NYT scandal:

The New York Times was forced to issue a correction on an article. It incorrectly claimed all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies agreed that “Russia orchestrated the attacks, and did it to help get [Trump] elected.” The lie was caught during the Comey testimony. Elizabeth Warren was an early caller for the Comey investigation. #JustSayin

Elizabeth Warren was one of the first Democrats to call for impeachment because of the supposed Trump/Russia collusion scandal.

Warren declared that allegations of collusion between President Trump’s inner circle and the Russian government were potentially worse than the Watergate scandal. She repeated that every ‘pressure’ available should be used to take him to the mat.

On a side note, there is also the time:

Life in the White House is a whole lot of hustle and bustle. Everything is important, and everything’s got to get done now. Especially all of the things happening in the Oval Office. The President has the incredible responsibility of signing bills into laws, sending out executive orders and building relationships with foreign dignitaries. This comes with its own set of challenges, like the media that feels the need to record every single move that he makes.

The media is extremely vetted before ever getting near the President or any of the other high profile people who enter the West Wing of the White House, however, when there’s only so much President and so many square feet around him to do their jobs, things can get ugly. The media that usually have clearance to be in the Oval office was recently expanded to include the local affiliates of South Korean news organizations while the South Korean leader and his wife are visiting the President and First Lady in Washington.

Since these are people usually unfamiliar with the practices of the White House in general, and the Oval Office specifically, they didn’t quite behave the way they were supposed to. They got so out of hand at one point that the President actually called them down. They pushed and shoved until they displaced the furniture, knocked over a table and lamp and put the President’s bodyguard on extreme alert.

Via Daily Mail:

“A crush of photographers and reporters nearly broke a lamp in the Oval Office on Friday as they elbowed for room to see Donald Trump meet with South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

It’s customary for a limited contingent of journalists, called a press pool, to be allowed into the president’s office to witness him greeting heads of state.

But Moon’s arrival attracted a larger than usual contingent of foreign press from Korean outlets, and the White House gamely tried to accommodate them all.

Few in the group were familiar with how Oval Office photo-ops work.
As they clambered over each other to get the best view, still and video cameras smacked at least one print journalist in the head.

A few photographers pushed a couch. Which nudged an end table. Which sent an expensive lamp tipping over toward its doom.

A quick-thinking Keith Schiller, the former Trump bodyguard who now serves as director of Oval Office operations, saved the day with a one-handed grab.

‘Easy, fellas. Hey!’ a visibly annoyed Trump scolded. ‘Fellas! Fellas! Easy!’

‘Wow, you guys are getting worse.’

Moon seemed amused.
As impatient shutters snapped fast enough to sound like a Washington downpour, the president turned to his Korean counterpart.

‘They knocked the table down,’ he said.

‘It’s actually a very friendly press. Don’t let that get you, although we just lost a table.’

Schiller, one of Trump’s longest-serving aides, was famously dispatched to the FBI quarters on May 9 with a letter telling then-director James Comey that he was being fired.”

It seems that the press was only more out of hand than usual because of the increased presence, but that didn’t keep the President from holding them to his regular standard. One could assume that President Moon Jae-in was smiling because it’s really not his problem to deal with. It would be kind of like if you’re at a friend’s house and their kids are acting up. You just smile and thank heaven it’s their kids and not yours because you don’t have to deal with the problem.
Other news sources reported more about the incident.

Before Barack Obama left office, he secretly funneled billions of dollars to radical anti-Trump groups, who are now serving as the militant arm of his shadow government. Obama’s pet project is now fully blossoming, as we see rabid anti-Trump groups like Antifa, MoveOn, Our Revolution, Indivisible, CREDO making up Obama’s “resistance movement,” who are now doing everything in their power to cause chaos and bring President Trump down.

Now in the light of President Trump taking a sledge hammer to Obama’s “legacy” of Obamacare, Obama is massively pissed. And as a way to get revenge on Trump and everyone who supports him, Obama and his lefists are now plotting to “make Independence Day a living hell for Republicans, in an anti-American move that will leave you speechless.
July 4th is a sacred holiday for many Americans, and a day that ALL AMERICANS should come together to celebrate our independence from the tyrants who once controlled us, despite being a Republican or Democrat. But because of the massive amount of patriotism and love for country that goes along with July 4th celebrations, liberals across the nation are now dubbing the holiday a “Republican holiday,” since naturally, these anti-American morons aren’t too thrilled about spending the day waving American flags around and celebrating our country.
So in a disgusting attempt to get back at Trump and Republicans for destroying Obamacare, nasty liberals across the nation have now announced their plans to hijack the day, where they’ve promised to make Independence Day “a living hell for Republicans” with left-leaning groups promising to interrupt parades and celebrations to make the day all all about their temper tantrum over Obamacare. According to the Daily Beast:

As the July 4th recess approaches, progressive political organizations like MoveOn, Our Revolution, Indivisible and CREDO, among others, are planning to keep up their momentum with peaceful protests at local Republican senators’ offices, floods of phone calls and even appearances at local Independence Day parades.

Just a couple of months into his U.S. Supreme Court lifelong term on the, Justice Neil Gorsuch started to give the left fits.

Senate Democrats are attacking the new justice which proves how the court has changed– or hasn’t changed– to the right after Justice Antonin Scalia passed away.
We cannot exactly say what they had in mind, but they’re only fuming that Gorsuch would carry on with the same conservative principles as Scalia, as guaranteed by President Donald Trump.

The Democrats in Senate – all of the Judiciary Committee members – whine about the fact that “we’ve got another Scalia,” as ranking member Sen. Dianne Feinstein, stated.
A few of the positions Gorsuch has occupied that have angered leftists:

Gorsuch publicly disagreed with his colleagues’ decision to pass up a challenge to the McCain-Feingold law’s ban on so-called soft money. He dissented from a ruling enforcing same-sex couple’s rights to have their names on their children’s birth certificates. He lamented the court’s refusal to hear a case about the right to carry a weapon in public. He took a strong stand in favor of churches’ right to public subsidies. And he signed an opinion saying he would have allowed President Donald Trump’s travel ban to go into effect now, in full.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat, did an “I-Told-You-So”, claiming he saw Gorsuch as a “tool of the creepy billionaire coalition,” whatever that may be.

“It sure looks like I was right,” Whitehouse told Politico. “It’s too early to draw any final conclusions, but the early signals are ominous about him being the tool of the creepy billionaire coalition.”

Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who worked as a clerk for Justice Harry Blackmun, argued Gorsuch had displayed little of his boasted independent streak.

“In a way, I’m surprised that he hasn’t demonstrated more independence,” he said to Politico. “I am surprised because in his demeanor and his tone he really made a huge effort to show his openness — which some of us thought might be more an act than it was a real persona.”

It’s not only the Democratic Senators that are afraid of Gorsuch. Leftist are identically whiny regarding the new justice.

In an article titled “Neil Gorsuch Is The Anti-LGBTQ Nightmare His Gay Friends Hoped He Wasn’t,” the HuffPo informed that the whole civilized world will come crashing down now that Gorsuch sat on the bench.
Mark Joseph Stein states that Gorsuch is an “unmitigated disaster for the progressive constitutional project.”

“Gorsuch is the worst kind of justice. He is a reactionary who dresses up his cruel, antediluvian views in folksy charm; who professes restraint while espousing extreme, sweeping views; who has no sympathy for vulnerable minorities but believes Christians are being oppressed. And he will guide the course of the law for the next 30 years or more. He is a catastrophe for proponents of civil rights and equal justice. And his influence over the court only stands to grow.

Gowdy is on fire. He’s been utilizing his position on the House Oversight Committee to weed out government corruption and consider people responsible for their crimes. His endeavors have been perceived by his associates, which is the reason he was as of late named the committee’s new chairman. At late hearings, Gowdy has been attempting to reveal reality about the Obama organization’s reaction to Russia’s alleged “hacking” of the election.

The account and claims originating from the DNC are exceptionally suspicious, and it was made clear they’re concealing something as of late when the previous Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Jeh Johnson, affirmed before the House Intelligence Committee.
As revealed at Allen B. West, while doing a meeting on Fox News a week ago, Gowdy uncovered how the DNC declined to participate with Homeland Security after the hack, and how Johnson was more than willing to give it a chance to happen.

“Not only did they [the DNC] not cooperate with Jeh Johnson, they did not turn the server over to the FBI, I think it’s a little ironic to now criticize, some Democrats are, Johnson and Jim Comey and others for Not giving enough in 2016, when you had a really good piece of evidence you did not bother turning over, “Gowdy said.

After the massive hack of the DNC and consequent dumping of their messages by Wikileaks, the Left was incensed, guaranteeing that it was a Russian endeavor to enable Trump to win the election.
One would feel that they’d be helpful with an Obama-controlled government and attempt to find reality about the episode.

Yet rather than utilize the assets available to them, they avoided the assistance of different organizations.

Gowdy went on to speculate why, “Let me hazard a wild guess.” There may be something else on that server they did not want law enforcement to see? “

“Typically, the reason is, there is something else you do not want law enforcement to see. There is no reason to allow DHS to patch or fix vulnerability in the DNC system. Heaven knows there is no reason to give the world’s premier law enforcement agency, which is the FBI, the evidence they may need to stop another attack from hurting someone else, “he added.

It looks bad for the DNC to not inspire help, so there’s abundant motivation to theorize this is on account of they’re concealing something.

Be that as it may, what? What was uncovered in the DNC’s messages was harming enough, as it affirmed what we as a whole knew to be true–that the Left works as an inseparable unit with their water-carriers in the media and is pitifully degenerate profoundly.

With all the anger and nasty comments coming from Mika and Joe of MSNBC, the video below makes you wonder if the nasty Mika is just an act…Ya think?

These two media wh*res couldn’t be happier that now they’re in the spotlight.
The change has been huge…Mika has called President Trump every nasty thing in the book:

Hour one of the MSNBC morning show began typically enough with Mika and Joe. The assembled gang could barely contain their glee at the prospect of damning testimony from James Comey. That all set the stage for a typical Mika Brzezinski tirade that was honestly one of the most disgusting assaults on President Trump yet. It’s unhinged hate!
“I think Trump is such a narcissist, it’s possible he is mentally ill in a way and this is on the table, I said it months ago and now everyone is starting to say it like it’s new, and it’s ok to say. He’s not well,” she said. “At the very least, he’s not well. And he’s so narcissistic he does not believe the rules apply to him, and that’s where the ignorance label may apply because this is a man who says he can grab women anywhere because he’s famous.”

Then something very curious happened. Scarborough looked off camera and can be heard saying, “What’s that? Wow,” Then Willie Geist showed him something and the two started laughing. Then a clearly not listening Scarborough, banged the table. “Stop right there,” he laughed “I need an eject button.”

“He posted it?” Scarborough appeared to ask someone else?

Brzezinski finally realized that nobody was listening to her and demanded an explanation.

“Nothing I have said is crazy,” she said.

“We’ll talk about it in the break,” said Scarborough barely able to get it out through his own laugher.

The show soon went to break. When it returned Scarborough joked about “keeping it in the guard rails.”

Brzezinski appeared to offer an explanation of her actions. “I am keeping it in the guard rails. Everything I’ve said you all have thought and you know and you’ve said in your own way.”

The more information the alternative media receives about the Obama administration, the more it becomes crystal clear that our 44th president was a crook.

Obama, like a lot of progressive Democrats, used the federal government to increase welfare handouts to his constituents. A new 90-page report from the Government Accountability Office has established that between thirty-five and sixty-five percent of “Obamaphone” recipients lied on their applications, via Daily Caller.
The report makes it clear that this high percentage of fraud was capable because the federal government, through the Federal Communications Commission, left eligibility screening in the hands of companies that profited from signing up as many people as possible.

The “Obamaphone” program, otherwise known as the Lifeline Program, was controversial from the start.

Many conservatives pointed out that the government should not be in the business of giving poor or unemployed people money for cellphones.

Now, thanks to this damning report, we can conclusively see that the Lifeline Program not only encouraged widespread fraud, but also stashed approximately $9 million of assets in private bank accounts, via Washington Times.

Ironically, Missouri Democrat, Claire McCaskill, was the one who requested the GAO’s report.

The very same party that once supported Obama’s federal program is now lambasting it for its complete lack of oversight, via Fox News.

This is akin to a cat burglar complaining about faulty locks on the houses that he’s already ransacked.

In a broader sense, the “Obamaphone” fiasco is proof positive that the era of “Hope and Change” meant federal corruption and big money interests from the very beginning. Obama’s radical rhetoric was done at the behest of Wall Street and private donors.

According to GAO, “Obamaphone” fraud ran so deep that their own investigators fraudulently applied for government phones nineteen different times. Twelve of the investigators were approved, via Western Journalism.

Government waste continues to plague the United States. President Trump should not only think about limiting (or eliminating) the Lifeline Program, which has been around since the 1980s, but he should also look into other drains on the U.S. economy, including fraudulent welfare applications.

Statistics from Los Angeles alone show that, during the fiscal years of 2004/2005, there were 60,634 cases of welfare fraud. Imagine how much worse it’s gotten under Obama, via Get Out of Debt.

Is it just a coincidence that Barack Obama and family are on an extended vacation in Indonesia precisely when Congress is investigating some of his top former officials with possible criminal implications for the 44th president?

It can’t be ignored that Indonesia has no extradition treaty with the US, and that Obama has family in the world’s largest Muslim nation.
This suspect series of events was hinted at by Rep. Trey Gowdy during an interview with Fox News.Gowdy is leading the charge against former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and he’s looking to put former National Security Advisor Susan Rice on the stand, too.
But the one Gowdy’s really gunning for is those two women’s boss – Barack Obama.

Mad World News commented:

Muslims are lashing out as Fourth of July celebrations ramp up. It’s clear they don’t respect our country, or our values.

A Muslim landlord demanded that Asian-American, Duy Tran, remove the American flag which Tran flew immediately after moving to the apartment complex. “I’m gonna leave my flag there, as an American, until she shows me proof that I don’t have the right to leave my flag there,” He shot back. (via The Political Insider)

Duy Tran says his landlord approached him shortly after he moved in, demanding he remove the flag hanging off his balcony — because it was a threat to Muslims!

“What really stunned me is that she said it’s a threat towards the Muslim community,” he told reporters in disbelief, adding, “I am not a threat towards nobody.”

The disgusting request was made just before our Independence Day celebrations. Other apartments in the complex featured proud displays of red, white, and blue.

Managers at the apartment complex refused to respond to questions from the local media. They justified their demand by referring to the safety of the community.

However, Duy Tran is not backing down, and he will not remove his flag willingly. Tran says he hangs the flag to honor his friends who died serving our country.
True patriots have leapt to the defense of the Asian-American, who is proudly displaying our greatest symbol of freedom. Thousands of patriots have complained to the building’s management.

Ultimately, the disgusting demand made by the building’s management reveals an unspoken reality about Muslims in America. Muslims do not respect our country, our flag, or the values it stands for. This is why Muslim immigrants, unlike other immigrants, flaunt American law in favor of their system of Sharia.

If you’re offended by the American flag, then you have no business being in America. America is the number one destination for immigrants the world over. We live in the most free nation in the history of man. If Muslims are not willing to assimilate to our customs and our culture, there are many other immigrants who will.

Now, there’s no denying that Muslims have no intention of integrating into American society. It seems the liberals know this is true, demanding patriots around the country, not just Duy Tran, quiet their patriotism.
