 The Story Behind That Trump Dossier 
LwNKtH5KfuGkMjC1KwhmmM2Ex8T7OqKtoWp5V20ZKCHDpiebqPH2nSXliN3WtAwQ9BZSAhYoqG5wPNO1M02bgvkQUatNwD3itqI2bWmrcqX58g5w-MO0qJNGCnqAxXU=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Donald Trump held a press conference Wednesday in which he blasted BuzzFeed and CNN — the former for its release of and the latter for its subsequent irresponsible reporting on a highly dubious and unsubstantiated 35-page dossier that suggested, among other things, a Trump-Russian collusion. The controversial dossier was generated by a private investigation firm hired by opponents of Trump's presidential campaign and had been shared with the FBI and all major news media organizations months ago. But no news outlet could corroborate it and thus deemed it not fit for dissemination. Until BuzzFeed took a break from LOLcats to "report" it, anyway.
          Last week, both Barack liar-nObama and Trump were briefed by the intelligence community, and Trump was made aware of the existence of this apparently fallacious dossier. But that's where things get fuzzy. At some point, news was leaked that the FBI had referenced this dossier in its intel report. That information seemed to trigger BuzzFeed, in what was most likely a craven effort at self-promotion, to run a story releasing some of the controversial dossier. CNN then piggy-backed off BuzzFeed's release and ran its own story referencing the dossier in an attack piece designed to further the Leftmedia's effort to delegitimize Trump.
          Big picture: The idea that nations like China and Russia don't have secret information on America's government leaders is simply naïve. You can bet that U.S. intelligence has all kinds of classified information on Vladimir Putin and Xi Jingping, as well. Remember the rather embarrassing story of the U.S. having bugged German Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone? It was only embarrassing because it became public that the U.S. was spying on an ally, but this is what intelligence agencies do.
          With the Internet, the world of espionage has changed — primarily because there's now an easy means of disseminating damaging information on a massive scale. With the existence of organizations like WikiLeaks, various government and non-government actors can release classified intel to the public and yet maintain anonymity. That's why a healthy amount of skepticism and diligent fact checking must be applied by any news media organization, as there is often more going on than what meets the eye. This is precisely what CNN and BuzzFeed did not do. Out of pure Trump Derangement Syndrome, they wanted the dossier to be true, and, in the process of spreading it, forgot that a journalist's aim is to inform, not to influence.  ~The Patriot Post

 Rubio Grills Tillerson on Russia 
9c3sxwnNZ5oD7IiZEsVpsAC0ep6v5G4lUwnAsleFBPbeDzFW8DSgV7KUklsrplVduhB1kLsq3TfdGKSIpnOFdhVRlQiTK8bTG-R5kq_9aXukQtctsblAFPYwIYTt_w=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
Senate hearings to confirm (or reject) Rex Tillerson as secretary of state began Wednesday, and, as predicted, there were fireworks over Tillerson's relationship with Vladimir Putin. As we warned from the outset, Tillerson's biggest negative is his close ties to Putin — he received Russia's Order of Friendship in 2013. These ties are especially problematic given the Kremlin's interference in the U.S. election and the Leftmedia's incessant work to paint Donald Trump as Putin's stooge. Should Tillerson be confirmed, everything he does will be reported through that prism. That's if he's confirmed...
          To dispel those concerns, Tillerson testified that Moscow is a "danger" to the U.S. "We must also be clear-eyed about our relationship with Russia," Tillerson said. "Russia today poses a danger, but it is not unpredictable in advancing its own interests. ... [O]ur NATO allies are right to be alarmed at a resurgent Russia." He also harshly criticized Russia for its annexation of Crimea in 2014, as well as the liar-nObama's administration's "weak response."
          But that didn't stop Sen. Marco Rubio from grilling Tillerson on whether he'd go so far as to call Putin a "war criminal" given public record reports of atrocities committed by the Russian military in Aleppo. "I would not use that term," Tillerson answered. Asking such questions now is critical to establishing whether Tillerson is trustworthy when it comes to becoming the nation's top diplomat or whether he's unwilling to take a clear stand or, worse, defending his friend, Putin.
          To be sure, Rubio's question was somewhat of the "gotcha" variety, so Tillerson was arguably wise to avoid going further without having access to more detailed classified information. "I would want to be fully informed before advising the president," he said. He can't take office having accused Putin of war crimes during his hearing. At the same time, Tillerson came off not so much as cautious as unprepared, and he explicitly rejected Rubio's premise. Such questions should have been expected, and "I need more information" isn't a strong response.
          This exchange and Tillerson's other shortcomings notwithstanding, U.S. diplomacy could use a serious shot in the arm after eight years of John hanoi-Kerry and liar-Hillary Clinton, and we continue to believe Tillerson brings a lot to the table. Whether enough Senate Republicans agree remains to be seen.  ~The Patriot Post

Comey Leaves Democrats Foaming At
The Mouth, Enraged After Hearings

{rickwells.us} ~ Anyone who can enrage Congresswoman Maxine Waters to the point that she actually shuts her visibly frothing mouth, throws up her hands and simply says he has no credibility can’t be all bad... For the California Democrat, who watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) declared to be one of “the Most Corrupt Members of Congress, to label anyone as lacking in credibility is amusing. Maybe Trump should keep Comey around – just for laughs, when he wants to watch a Democrat turn into Linda Blair. The Wall Street Journal is calling for his resignation, so it seems Comey still has the gift, that of angering people on both sides of the political aisle. They labeled him as “too political for a position that’s supposed to be apolitical.” That might be a bit of a stretch since nobody has gotten the straight story on what happened with the liar-Clinton investigation. The IG may finally provide us some help in that regard. The reporter ticks off the list of problems with Comey, which include a current Inspector General’s investigation into the details of and the decision to not recommend prosecution of liar-Hillary Clinton and the various communications and interactions with others that followed. The good news is that the issue of the liar-Clinton corruption and espionage offenses has not been forgotten about and set aside...  http://rickwells.us/comey-leaves-democrats-foaming-mouth-enraged-hearings/

{gopthedailydose.com} ~ Freedom  Daily Haggard Megyn Kelly got some really humiliating news after she left Fox. Her replacement, Tucker Carlson, is CRUSHING her ratings... Tucker is entertaining, crisp, and destroys liberals and democrats on the spot. He melts them like giant candles that fall to the floor in a heaping pile of goo as they lose battle with Tucker’s fire. Megyn Kelly is washed up, boring, and probably wears friendship bracelets from gender confused liberals. Why else would she be the way she is, if she wasn’t turning into a liberal herself. Have you seen her haircut? That’s a democrat lady cut...  http://gopthedailydose.com/2017/01/14/tucker-carlson-just-humilitaed-megyn-kelly-left-fox-news/

Power Grid In ‘Imminent Danger’
Of Cyberattack Impacting ‘Millions’
by Keith Jacobs

{patriotpowerednews.com} ~ The U.S. power grid is in constant danger of a cyberattack that could cause widespread blackouts and impact millions of citizens, according to a new 492-page report from the Department of Energy... that warns if nothing is done to protect the system, the nation likely will suffer. “The U.S. grid faces imminent danger from cyberattacks,” the report, released Jan. 6, states. “Widespread disruption of electric service because of a transmission failure initiated by a cyberattack at various points of entry could undermine U.S. lifeline networks, critical defense infrastructure, and much of the economy; it could also endanger the health and safety of millions of citizens.” The report, titled “Transforming the Nation’s Energy System,” notes that the electric grid in the 48 contiguous states is comprised of 21,500 substations and about 700,000 miles of power lines... This warning was given 8 years ago, why hasn't it be resolved?

The Bigotry against Israel in the UN

Samantha Power at the UN
{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ The passage of the UN Security Council Resolution 2334 just before Christmas 2016, with the United States abstaining, was an IED-wrapped Chanukkah gift that lame-duck President Barack Hussein liar-nObama delivered to Israel... It was another signal to Palestinians that they may continue their "rejectionism" of Israel, and stage another round of jihadi terrorism providing the UN the excuse to deliver pre-packaged condemnations of any Israeli reaction to the maiming and murder of Jews in the so-called "occupied" territories. The U.S. abstention was an appalling betrayal of a people wrongly maligned by a sitting American president who for the past eight years went about assuring American Jewry, especially liberal Jews loyal to his party, that he was the most pro-Israel occupant of the White House. Instead, liar-nObama's decision, as a parting shot before he left office, not to veto Res. 2334 lifted the veil over the unspoken animus that he not only harbors within himself but also one that still stirs many within Western nations against Israel despite their solemn public denunciations of anti-Semitism... https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9772/un-bigotry-israel

Last Minute Change in Security at Inauguration Reminiscent of JFK in Dealey Plaza

{truthstreammedia.com} ~ Without explanation and just a week before inauguration, President liar-nObama has suddenly announced he is removing the Major General in charge of the DC National Guard... who helped plan and was set to oversee event security that day, effective right in the middle of the ceremony the very minute after Donald Trump is sworn in as president. The termination is unprecedented and out of decorum with such a high state function taking place, raising serious concerns about the vulnerabilities and gaps in security on such an important day. Not saying that anything is going to happen, but it’s hard not to notice and raise questions when the scenario is being made plausible...  http://truthstreammedia.com/2017/01/15/last-minute-change-security-inauguration-reminiscent-jfk-dealey-plaza/

On Fire: The Racist Anti-Racists at MTV News
by Michelle Malkin
q_vVciBcTPSCnaH_30lvLW76xttLdBOkYGhVL45COUw4hg89bwNx_GKxilFm-X-YN3VKUe16OVLYO235Rxac1f8GY7CtrWEM8otTaurCoxyOrp1fTrtxQZbxs6edsud3pws=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=
{freedomsback.com} ~ It’s only the second week of 2017, but it’s already been a banner year for preening liberals on cable TV who are hell-bent on self-immolation in the name of proving everyone else’s moral inferiority.

To use young people’s slang these days, you’re “lit,” media progressives. But not in a good way.

On Tuesday, just before the confirmation hearing for Attorney General nominee and Alabama GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions kicked off, an MTV News reporter demonstrated his high and mighty commitment to racial tolerance … by mocking Sen. Sessions’ half-Asian granddaughter. Sessions’ daughter, Ruth, is married to Asian-American John Walk. They have four girls.

Upon spotting Sessions with one of his multiracial granddaughters sitting on his lap as he waited for the proceedings to begin, MTV News “culture writer” Ira Madison III tweeted a photo of them and snarked:

“Sessions, sir, kindly return this Asian baby to the Toys ‘R’ Us you stole her from.”

So much for liberals celebrating diversity. So much for Michelle loiar-nObama’s rallying cry to the left that “our motto is, when they go low, we go high.”

Madison sneered that Sessions’ granddaughter was a “prop” and that there was “no reason for that child to be in his lap in a hearing other than to send an ‘I’m not racist message.'” Even after being informed that the beautiful little girl was Sessions’ biological grandchild, Madison continued to attack — accusing conservative critics of having “long used Asian-Americans as ‘model minorities’ since the rise of the Civil Rights Act.” He further justified his bigotry by accusing Sen. Sessions of “horrendous anti-black behavior” and snidely dismissed the senator’s “love for an Asian family member.”

What better way to send an “I’m not racist message” than to double down on the revolting dehumanization of the family members of one’s political opponents?

MTV News, which touts itself as the “conversation authority for the millennial audience,” has become the Sideshow Bob of the internet. Like the hapless character in “The Simpsons” cartoon series who can’t stop stepping on rakes and smashing in his face, this supposed “music” network keeps veering into the social justice lane — and causing bloody self-harm. Fun fact: Bigot Ira Madison, who purports to protest bigotry by practicing it, pens a column called “Delete Your Account,” poking fun at social media blunders by public figures.

Before Christmas, the same MTV News division that employs Madison aired a sanctimonious video titled “2017 Resolutions for White Guys.” Reeking of extremist identity politics, a parade of smarmy millennials lectures every last white man on the planet to “try to recognize that America was never great for anyone who wasn’t a white guy.” While assailing “mansplaining,” the cast proceeds to MTVsplain that “Black Lives Matter isn’t the opposite of All Lives Matter. (…) Also, Blue Lives Matter isn’t a thing.”

Swamped by mockery on both sides of the aisle, MTV deleted the condescending video, but apparently not the condescending attitude.

We’ve seen it before in cable TV news. Former MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry indulged in holier-than-thou anti-racism racism when she openly mocked Mitt Romney’s black adopted grandson in 2013 and laughed with other MSNBC commentators at a sweet holiday photo of the devout Mormon’s large family.

And MSNBC was forced to apologize again in 2014 after conservative multiracial parents, including me, battled the network’s vile racism slurring “rightwing” Americans as intolerant of biracial families featured in a Cheerios ad.

Responding to those of us who refused to tolerate their prejudice disguised as tolerance, MSNBC commentator Richard Wolffe insisted at the time: “That’s not who we are.”

We see you for exactly who you are: Flaming hypocrites who can’t help themselves. Stay lit!
