Mazie Hirono: Hunter Biden ‘Conspiracy Theory’ Not What Impeachment Should Be All About
During an appearance on CNN’s “New Day” on Friday, Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) argued against former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden being participants in a potential U.S. Senate impeachment hearing.
Hirono called allegations the Bidens benefited off of the office of the vice presidency during the elder Biden’s tenure in the Obama administration a “conspiracy theory.”
“Well, that continues the whole conspiracy theory that the Republicans keep pushing, that’s been debunked,” she said.
“You know, one thing the Republicans should do — which they haven’t done this — they ought to focus on what I call ‘the this’ — ‘the this’ being what the president did to shake down the president of another country,” Hirono added.

Ginsburg places hold on court order demanding Deutsche Bank turn over Trump records
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has placed a hold on a circuit court order for two banks to turn over President Trump’s financial information to Congress.
Ginsburg placed a hold on the order on Friday, according to Reuters. The 2nd District Court of Appeals issued a ruling on Tuesday ordering Deutsche Bank and Capital One to turn over financial documents on Trump, members of his family, and his business.
The district court ruling came as a result of a lawsuit by Trump to thwart subpoenas issued by the Committee on Financial Services and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The Democrat-controlled committees subpoenaed both banks on April 11 seeking Trump’s financial records.

Democratic lawmaker: 'I am struggling' to see a case for impeachment
Several moderate Democratic House representatives are balking at impeaching President Trump as they worry doing so will have severe political consequences.
One anonymous member said he is "struggling" to see the case for impeachment and expressed concern that all of the information being used to draft articles of impeachment is "secondhand," according to CNN.
The anonymous admissions from Democratic lawmakers comes nearly two weeks after Democratic Rep. Brenda Lawrence of Michigan told a local radio host she favors censure over impeachment. Lawrence walked back that statement after it hit national news, and she pledged to support impeachment.

Obamas Officially Purchase $11.75 Million Waterfront Mansion in Martha’s Vineyard
Rumblings of the Obamas multimillion-dollar purchase surfaced in August, but they officially closed the deal this week, joining the elite Martha’s Vineyard community in a nearly 7,000 square foot home that sits on roughly 29 acres, facing the Edgartown Great Pond. The Dukes County Registry of Deeds recorded the $11.75 million price on Wednesday afternoon, per the Vineyard Gazette. The compound was originally listed for sale in 2015 for $22.5 million and dropped to $14.85 million in July 2019.
The listing details the property’s “long and winding driveway, sprawling lawn and incredible water views” and notes that the main residence is “finished with the finest details,” including “multiple seating and entertaining spaces, a modern Chef’s kitchen, and a formal circular dining room surrounded by a wall of windows overlooking the grounds.” It is also equipped with a jacuzzi located off the second-floor balcony.
“There are two guest wings and an impressive master suite with fireplace, private sun deck and spectacular water views,” the listing boasts.
The purchase comes in addition to the $8.1 million home the Obamas purchased in 2017 in Washington, DC’s Kalorama neighborhood. They also own a 6,243-square-foot home in Chicago’s South Side Kenwood neighborhood.

'Legitimatizes inequality': Tlaib and the Squad split from Democrats on two-state resolution
The four members of the House's left-wing "Squad" opposed a resolution put forward by Democrats to support a two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"This resolution not only endorses an unrealistic, unattainable solution, one that Israel has made impossible, but also one that legitimatizes inequality, ethnic discrimination, and inhumane conditions," Rep. Rashida Tlaib said Friday on the House floor. The Michigan Democrat has said previously that she supports a one-state solution because two states would enforce a "separate but equal" mentality.
The resolution, which was approved on Friday, was meant as a rebuke to President Trump by Democrats, who claim the president is moving away from the two-state solution by favoring Israel. The four Squad members, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, and Tlaib, were the only four Democrats to vote "no" on the resolution.

White House wins partial victory in effort to disincentivize immigrants taking welfare
The White House welcomed an appeals court decision allowing a plan to expand rules that would disqualify immigrants who use government assistance programs from obtaining permanent legal status, but it said its hands are tied due to injunctions in other courts.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit on Thursday lifted two district court injunctions by judges in Spokane, Washington, and Oakland, California, filed over the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services plan to block immigrants who used government benefits, otherwise known as people deemed a "public charge."
"The Ninth Circuit has rightly recognized the administration's authority to adopt an interpretation of the 'public charge' restriction more faithful to and consistent with the scope of the statute passed by Congress," the White House press secretary said in a statement Friday.

REPORT: Deep State NSA and ATT Assisted Adam Schiff in Unprecedented Surveillance of Giuliani, Nunes and Reporter Solomon’s Phone Records
Laura Ingraham on Thursday invited guest Fred Fleitz, a former CIA analyst, to discuss Adam Schiff’s surveillance of President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani, Rep. Devin Nunes and reporter John Solomon’s phone calls.
On Tuesday Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff released his highly political impeachment report that omitted several key facts from the interviews and the case. The report bogus report also contained phone records from Rep. Devin Nunes, President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani and investigative reporter John Solomon.
On Thursday Laura Ingraham told her audience that the Deep State NSA willingly assisted Adam Schiff in his surveillance of a mainstream reporter and the President’s attorney. This raises all kinds of legal and ethical questions. This also proves once again that the US surveillance state has become an arm of the Democrat Party.

White vice president at CNN 'threatened to kill' longtime black employee because he sued the network
A black CNN employee claims the network's white vice president threatened to 'kill' him over a race discrimination lawsuit he filed against the company earlier this year.
DeWayne Walker, who is black and has worked at the CNN Center in Atlanta for 16 years, filed a lawsuit against the CNN network in May over racial discrimination in job promotions.
On August 15, 2019 CNN’s vice president and group creative director Whit Friese allegedly retaliated against Walker, the manager of integrated marketing for CNN, by threatening to kill him during an incident in the CNN Center bathroom.
Friese allegedly told Walker, 'Just stop it,'' leading him to respond 'Or?'

Media split: Bongino Report, Drudge alternative, competes in news aggregator space
GOP media battler Dan Bongino has made good on his plans to create a news site that would be more like the Drudge Report than the real Drudge Report. And it almost imploded his server.
Bongino, who hosts a widely subscribed Dan Bongino Show podcast, had 20,000 users on his site just an hour after it went live on Wednesday. “Interest has been through the roof,” he said of the Bongino Report.
Like Drudge, it aggregates stories, especially those of interest to conservatives. Unlike Drudge, it generally won’t pick up stories from sources critics dub “fake news,” such as the New York Times or CNN.

Every Bubble Eventually Finds Its Pin
The transfer of wealth from workers and savers to governments and big banks continued this week with Swiss-like precision. The process is both mechanical and subtle. Here in the USA the automated elegance of this ongoing operation receives little attention.
NFL football. EBT card acceptance at Del Taco. Adam Schiff’s impeachment extravaganza. You name it. Bread and circuses like these – and many others – offer the American populace countless opportunities for chasing the wild goose.
All the while, and with little fanfare, debts pile up like deadwood in Sequoia National Forest. These debts, both public and private, stand little chance of ever being honestly repaid. According to the IMF, global debt – both public and private – has reached an all-time high of $188 trillion. That comes to about 230 percent of world output.
Certainly, some of the private debt will be defaulted on during the next credit crisis and depression. But when it comes to the public debt, governments do everything they can to prevent an outright default. Central banks crank up the printing press and attempt to inflate it away.

RUDY NUKES DEMOCRATS: Ukrainians Find Misuse of $5.3 BILLION in US Aid During Obama Admin
Oh gosh.
This wasn’t supposed to happen.
This was supposed to be Pelosi’s week to shine!
On Thursday Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that Democrats will move ahead on impeachment of President Trump for not giving away US taxpayer dollars quick enough to one of the world’s most corrupt nations. Democrats believe this is grounds for impeachment.
Hmm.
Earlier this week Rudy Giuliani met with Ukrainian officials to discuss the misuse of US funds in Ukraine and the creation of a group to fight corruption in the country.

The Loss of Our Watchmen’s Moral Authority
One symptom of a society in crisis is the unreliability or even corruption of its own auditors.
After all, when the watchmen have lost moral authority to watch, who can be believed or trusted? Or, as the Roman satirist Juvenal famously put it, “Who will guard the guardians?”
It was recently reported that FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith altered an email to bolster a suspicious FBI effort to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court warrant authorizing the surveillance of Carter Page, a onetime employee of the Trump campaign.

Epstein Was A Mossad Agent Used To Blackmail American Politicians, Former Israeli Spy Claims
Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad asset who was used by Israeli intelligence to blackmail American politicians, according to a former Israeli spy.
