Dershowitz: Mueller ‘Not Going To Produce Balanced, Fair Report’

‘He’s going to produce what he believes is gonna be a devastating attack,’ he says

FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s final report is going to be an unfair hit job against President Trump, according to Democrat lawyer Alan Dershowitz.

“Mueller is not going to produce a neutral report,” he said on “America’s Newsroom” on Tuesday.

WALSH: According To The Left, Only Primitive Tribes Have The Right To Protect Their Sovereignty

Last week, the uncontacted Sentinelese tribe reportedly murdered a missionary who attempted to approach them. A few years ago, the same tribe also murdered a couple of innocent fishermen who accidentally drifted close to their island.

While the drama with the Stone Age tribe unfolds in India, a different (but not entirely unrelated) drama has taken place down on our southern border. Hordes of illegal intruders are trying to storm into our country, throwing rocks at border patrol agents and using children as human shields. Lethal force has not been wielded against these intruders, but they have been met with some physical resistance. U.S. authorities have used pepper spray to disperse the crowds and restore order amid the chaos.

"You Are Well Inside The Matrix Now..."

Our politicians and media are not going to allow us to see Russia, and any incidents the country can be linked to, in any other way than black and white, in which we are the good party and they are the black, evil and guilty ones. So we’ll have to do that ourselves.

More than enough has been said about why NATO should have been dismantled when the reason for its existence, the Soviet Union, was dissolved, but nobody listened and NATO has kept expanding eastward and demanding more money, more members, more weapons.

NATO demands an enemy, and their chosen enemy is Russia. This has nothing to do with anything Russia has done or is doing at the moment. We can only hope that people are willing to accept that simple fact. And not passively go along with the flow of badmouthing and smear that decides what our picture of the country is.

Russia ‘invaded’ Crimea? Russia ‘downed’ MH17? Russia sent two hapless and inept blokes to kill the Skripals? Russia launched an unprovoked attack on three Ukrainian vessels in the Sea of Azov? Russia colluded with the Trump campaign against Hillary Clinton? And collaborated with Julian Assange to make that happen?

What all these allegations have in common is that there is no evidence any of them are true.

Oh, and that nobody’s really trying to prove them anymore. Because you’ve already accepted them as gospel.

Former Pennsylvania AG ordered to prison after conviction upheld

A Pennsylvania judge ordered the commonwealth's former attorney general to report to prison by 9 a.m. Thursday, more than two years after she was convicted for leaking grand jury information and lying about it.

Democrat Kathleen Kane, 52, had been free on $75,000 bail while she appealed her 10-to-23-month sentence. The state Supreme Court announced Monday that it had declined to take up her case.

"Given that the rationale for (the) defendant remaining at liberty pending appeal has expired, post-sentence bail is revoked,” Judge Wendy Demchick-Alloy write in ordering Kane to report to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility. Demchick-Alloy formally directed the Lackawanna County sheriff to serve a copy of her order on Kane, who lives in Scranton.

Kane’s lawyer, Joshua Lock, has not responded to multiple messages seeking comment.

The Montgomery County district attorney’s office formally requested the order earlier Tuesday, arguing the Supreme Court decision was the end of the legal road for Kane.

"Two different appellate courts have reviewed her case, yet her judgment of sentence remains," District Attorney Kevin Steele wrote. "She received a fair trial, her guilt was proven beyond a reasonable doubt and now it is time for her to serve her sentence."

Kane was convicted of two counts of felony perjury and seven misdemeanors, including obstruction and conspiracy.

The first woman and first Democrat to be elected as Pennsylvania’s attorney general, Kane resigned from office after her October 2016 conviction.

The Difference Between A Bull & Bear Market (And Where Are We Now)

Wall Street loves to label stuff. When markets are rising it’s a “bull market.” Conversely, falling prices are a “bear market.”

Interestingly, while there are some “rules of thumb” for falling prices such as:
A “correction” is defined as a decline of more than 10% in the market.
A “bear market” is a decline of more than 20%.

There are no such definitions for rising prices.

Simply, rising prices are “bullish.”

It’s all a bit arbitrary and rather pointless.

As investors, it is important to understand what a “bull” or “bear” market actually is.
A “bull market” is when prices are generally rising over an extended period of time.
A “bear market” is when prices are generally falling over an extended period of time.

Here is another extremely important definition for you.

Investing is the process of placing “savings” at “risk” with the expectation of a future return greater than the rate of inflation over a given time frame.

Christine Blasey Ford Thanks America For $650,000 Payday, Hopes Life "Will Return To Normal"

Amid the sound and fury of the disgusting antics of the Brett Kavanaugh SCOTUS nomination process, one of the main defenses of Christine Balsey Ford's sudden recollection of an '80s sexual assault was simply "...why would she lie... what's in it for her?"

Certainly, the forced publicity by Dianne Feinstein and public questioning guaranteed her 15 minutes of fame (and perhaps even more infamy if Kavanaugh's nomination had failed) but now, in a statement thanking everyone who had supported her, Ford is "hopeful that our lives will return to normal."

Farm Bankruptcies Soar In The Midwest

Eighty-four farms in the US Midwest region covered by the Minneapolis Fed’s Ninth District states (Minnesota, Montana, North and South Dakota, Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan) filed for chapter 12 bankruptcy in the 12 months that ended in June - more than twice the level observed in June 2014, according to a new report from the Federal Reserve, surpassing the prior peak hit just after the GFC.

"Current numbers are not unprecedented, even in the recent past, having reached 70 bankruptcies in 2010. However, current price levels and the trajectory of the current trends suggest that this trend has not yet seen a peak," Ron Wirtz, an analyst at the Minneapolis Fed, wrote.

Landowners Hail Property Rights Victory At Supreme Court In Frog Habitat Dispute

A unanimous Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the Fish and Wildlife Service was wrong to designate a 1,500 acre tract of land in Louisiana as a “critical habitat” for the endangered dusky gopher frog, even though the species has not lived there for decades.

“I am really overjoyed that an eight to nothing court agreed with me that the service’s decision was absurd and nightmarish for property rights in the United States,” landowner Edward Poitevent told The Daily Caller News Foundation in a Tuesday interview.

“We all actually thought something like this would happen, but what’s really stunning is this is an eight to nothing decision,” Poitevent said.

The Fish and Wildlife Service told Poitevent in 2011 his land, which has been in his family for generations, would be listed as backup critical habitat for the dusky gopher frog, which hasn’t been seen there since 1965. The only known domain of the frogs was a single pond in southern Mississippi as of 2001, but the government said the Louisiana zone was the only other possible habitat it could identify.

DC Council Unanimously Votes For 100 Percent Renewable Energy

A bill that mandates all of Washington, D.C.’s electricity originate from renewable energy sources sailed through a preliminary vote on Tuesday, all but assuring the bill’s final passage.

The D.C. City Council voted unanimously in favor of an initial approval for the Clean Energy DC Omnibus Act of 2018, a bill that would require the nation’s capital transition to 100 percent renewable energy by 2032.

The bill calls for a number of other climate change-related reforms, such as toughening energy standards on buildings; promoting electric car use through vehicle excise taxes; and adding millions to a “Green Bank” that will fund various environmental projects.

The Green Bank initiative would be funded through higher utility bills. D.C. residents can expect to pay about $2.10 more per month on their gas bill and around $1 dollar more on their electricity rates. These fees are forecasted to add $15 million to the city’s Green Bank.

The Redskins Just Signed This Accused Domestic Abuser — Days After He Was Released From Another Team

The Washington Redskins are taking a big chance.

The NFC East hopefuls reportedly signed Reuben Foster, a linebacker who was just placed on waivers by the San Francisco 49ers after he was accused of domestic abuse early Sunday morning.

At the time of his arrest, ESPN reported the following details:

The San Francisco 49ers are releasing linebacker Reuben Foster after he was arrested late Saturday night at the team hotel on a charge of misdemeanor domestic violence.

The arrest report from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s office said Foster was arrested Saturday at 9:10 p.m. at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Tampa and booked into jail two hours later. Foster’s bond was set at $2,000 during a bail hearing Sunday morning along with orders to avoid any contact with the alleged victim.

This wasn’t Foster’s first run-in with his alleged victim. He reportedly beat the same woman, Elissa Ennis, earlier this spring.

US Army Ranger killed in 'friendly fire' by Afghan partner forces battling al Qaeda in Afghanistan

The death of a U.S. Army Ranger from Washington killed over the weekend while fighting al Queda in Afghanistan was likely the result of an accidental friendly fire by Afghan partner forces, according to military officials.

In a statement to ABC News by the NATO-led training mission, Resolute Support, an initial review of Sgt. Leandro Jasso's death found he 'was likely accidentally shot by our Afghan partner force.'

'There are no indications he was shot intentionally,' the statement added of the 25-year-old's death.

The November 24 incident occurred in Nimroz Province, in western Afghanistan, during a joint U.S-Afghan assault on al Qaeda positions.

Jasso was struck by small arms fire and was immediately evacuated to the nearest medical treatment facility. He later died of his wounds.

Google TRACKS users and IGNORES privacy settings, say consumer groups

Google is being accused of tracking user locations by seven consumer groups from different countries who have filed complaints with their national watchdogs.

They say Google is tracking the location of its users and gets people to tun on their location settings with a combination of manipulative techniques.

Google uses location tracking on its Android operating system to improve search results and the location history is stored once a person activates the feature.

The complaints say complexities and a lack of transparency when setting up an Android device, hidden default settings, misleading and unbalanced information are all contributing to the issue.

The groups across the EU are claiming the firm is in breach of data protection rules brought in this year as part of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Antibiotics could extend your life by culling older cells that can no longer divide

Antibiotics may hold promise in extending your life - and not by ridding you of killer infections.

Researchers claim the drugs may cull older cells that have lost the ability to divide and are linked to age-related disorders.

The senescent cells are thought to be the root cause of diseases including cancer, heart disease and even dementia.

Salford University scientists made the discovery using azithromycin, which treats infections ranging from gonorrhoea to Lyme disease.

Mattis, Pompeo Will Brief Senate on U.S-Saudi Relations

The White House reportedly won’t allow CIA Director Gina Haspel, or any other intelligence official, to brief the Senate on the slaying of Saudi dissident and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary James Mattis are expected to give a briefing on U.S. relations with Saudi Arabia to the entire Senate behind closed doors Wednesday — ahead of a vote that could cut off support for Riyadh’s military campaign in Yemen.

The Guardian reported that the Senate was told by the administration to expect only Pompeo and Mattis at the briefing. The White House didn’t comment to the news outlet.

Hillary Clinton Trashes President Trump From Toronto 'You Can't Make This Stuff Up'

Bill and Hillary Clinton kicked off their 13-city tour dubbed ‘An Evening with the Clintons’ Tuesday night at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario.

The Clintons were speaking to hundreds of empty seats even after TicketMaster was selling tickets for a paltry $15.00.

Hillary Clinton began the night by joking that she was thinking about running for parliament.

Then she trashed President Trump.

“Trump said today that his gut and his opinion is a lot smarter than most people’s brains…so–I mean literally you can’t make this stuff up, I mean a dozen times a day your head is spinning” Hillary said as the crowd broke into laughter.

No, Hillary, only your head is spinning…

GM & GE Were Both Victimized By The Same Ponzi Scheme...

America’s twin economic “generals” are both in very deep trouble.

General Electric was founded in 1892, and it was once one of the most powerful corporations on the entire planet. But now it is drowning in so much debt that it may be forced into bankruptcy.

General Motors was founded in 1908, and at one time it was the largest automaker that the world had ever seen. But now it is closing a bunch of factories and laying off approximately 14,000 workers as it anticipates disappointing sales and a slowing economy.

If the U.S. economy really was “booming”, both of these companies would probably be thriving. But as you will see below, both of them have been victimized by the exact same Ponzi scheme, and both firms are sending us very clear signals that the U.S. economy is heading for troubled waters.

Whenever you hear the word “restructuring”, that is always a sign that things are not going well for a company.

And it turns out that GM’s “restructuring” is actually going to cost the firm 3.8 billion dollars…

General Motors said Monday it plans to effectively halt production at a number of plants in the U.S. and Canada next year and cut more than 14,000 jobs in a massive restructuring that will cost up to $3.8 billion.

Of course GM doesn’t have 3.8 billion dollars just lying around, and so they are actually going to have to borrow money in order to close these plants and lay off these workers.

Needless to say, President Trump is not very happy with General Motors right now…

Trump said he spoke Monday with GM’s CEO, Mary Barra, and ‘I told them, “you’re playing around with the wrong person”.’

He told reporters as he left the White House for a pair of political rallies in Mississippi that the United States ‘has done a lot for General Motors. They better get back to Ohio, and soon.’

Broward Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes Will Walk Away From Her Post With a Cushy Pension

Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes has come under fire for the numerous incidents of voter fraud and the lengthy recount process earlier this month. She finally decided to resign from her post after facing severe criticism. Now, it's coming to light that she will be receiving $11,000 a month in a pension. That equates to roughly $130,000 a year. Snipes was previously making $178,865 a year as Broward's Election Supervisor, the Sun-Sentinel reported.

Part of the reason her pension is so high is because of her time in government. She already receives $4,880 a month for her combined time as a teacher and school administrator. Snipes has received that part of her pension, in combination with her salary as Elections Supervisor, since she was appointed to the post by Gov. Jeb Bush in 2003. She won re-election to the post four different times since her appointment.

WOW: Money Raised After Pittsburgh Shooting Went To An Islamic Center With Terror Ties

In late October, Robert Gregory Bowers, a vicious anti-Semite, walked into the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh and shot and killed 11 people. Several people were injured, four of which were police officers. It was tragic—but of course, everyone blamed President Trump for reasons only morons understand. There were protests when he visited the site. Everyone was creating controversy when there needed to be none. But now, we have another controversy that could be brewing that isn’t related to Trump. It centers on anti-Semite Linda Sarsour. The anti-Israel activist seems to have been exposed for cheating the Tree of Life synagogue from money fundraised after the tragic shooting.

WWIII is a predominantly economic war, as of now

China has been winning an economic war with America for decades. Unfair currency maneuvers, tariffs, stealing of technology and intellectual property, and tariff-like burdens have been China's war machine against America for a long time. Such economic victories over America have enabled the Chinese to build up their military might through their unfair accumulation of wealth.

Europe has taken advantage of America's generosity in funding too much of NATO expenses, too much of U.N. expenses, and our military nuclear power stick against Russia. Enough is enough! France's own people finally are recognizing the folly of socialism's focus of economic power on the elite political leadership.

Europe disrespects and won't fully support our bold hard line against Iran's overt hatred of America and Western values. They also cheat about backing sanctions against N. Korea. They try to hide behind some vague anti- nationalist "globalist patriotism," which is really, at its core, their economic advantage-seeking. European political leaders seem blind with denial about Iranian religious fascism; Chinese communist economic aggression; and the social, political, and economic dangers involved with immigration as an economic threat to Western democracies.
