QOTD: "Another congressional source, involved in the investigation of Bruce Ohr, [said]... “The DOJ refused to disclose all kinds of biases to the FISA court. The fact that they didn’t tell the court that Fusion GPS was paying the wife of a top DOJ official to work on the Steele dossier, parts of which the DOJ cited to get a warrant to spy on an American citizen, is another stunning and inexcusable failure.”" --Sara Carter

JUSTICE IS BLIND: Except When It Comes to Robert Mueller’s Partisan Witch-hunt

Writing at The Wall Street Journal, Kimberley A. Strassel offers a powerful critique of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe. The imbalanced treatment, seemingly based upon the political affiliation of the target, is becoming impossible to ignore:

If there is only “one set of rules,” where is Mr. Mueller’s referral of a case against Hillary for America? Federal law requires campaigns to disclose the recipient and purpose of any payments. The Clinton campaign paid Fusion GPS to compile a dossier against Mr. Trump, a document that became the basis of the Russia narrative Mr. Mueller now investigates. But the campaign funneled the money to law firm Perkins Coie, which in turn paid Fusion...

...The campaign falsely described the money as payment for “legal services.” The Democratic National Committee did the same. A Perkins Coie spokesperson has claimed that neither the Clinton campaign nor the DNC was aware that Fusion GPS had been hired to conduct the research, and maybe so. But a lot of lawyers here seemed to have been ignoring a clear statute, presumably with the intent of influencing an election.

BOMBSHELL: China Hacked Hillary’s Illegal Email Server Throughout Her Term as Secretary of State

By Richard Pollock

  • A Chinese-owned company penetrated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private server, according to sources briefed on the matter.
  • The company inserted code that forwarded copies of Clinton’s emails to the Chinese company in real time.
  • The Intelligence Community Inspector General warned of the problem, but the FBI subsequently failed to act, Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert said during a July hearing.

A Chinese-owned company operating in the Washington, D.C., area hacked Hillary Clinton’s private server throughout her term as secretary of state and obtained nearly all her emails, two sources briefed on the matter told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

GEM FROM MARK LEVIN: What is Socialism Taken to its Logical Extreme?

Based upon commentary from Mark Levin, August 24, 2018

Socialism taken to its logical extreme is tyrannical totalitarianism. There is simply no counter-argument to this point. History suffers from no shortage of warnings, among them the Soviet Union, Cuba, Mao’s Red China, Nazi Germany, and many, many others.

Progressives and other crypto-Marxists will always dismiss the outright failures (see: Venezuela) and instead ask, “What about Denmark? What about Sweden?”

The answer, put simply and -- as even the country of Denmark’s Prime Minister has pointed out -- is that:

EXCLUSIVE: Agenda for 2020 Democrat National Convention

By John Ruberry

This could be parody. This could be prescient. It is the DNC agenda:

  • Proceedings begin as Colin Kaepernick leads the delegates in taking a knee for the US flag.
  • Pledge of allegiance to the United Nations.
  • Native American blessing given by Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
  • Andrew Cuomo introduces Democrats' 2020 campaign slogan, "America Was Never That Great."
  • A vote on replacing all gender pronouns with "it."
  • A vote on giving illegal aliens the right to vote in all elections... twice.

China Ratchets Up Its U.S. Spying Programs

By Michael Cutler

Russian efforts to corrupt American politics captivates the media, but they pay scant attention to the aggressive actions of the Chinese.  This under-reporting is concerning,  given the concerted Chinese efforts go well beyond the hacking of U.S. computers - an illegal activity of great concern - but they also extend onto the campuses of our universities.

There are, however, occasional acts of real reporting on Chinese espionage. One example comes from, the usually liberal and globalist publication, Newsweek back on May 20, 2015,  A New Cold War, Yes. But It’s With China, Not Russia

Another story worthy of mention is this from the Houston Chronicle reported on August 8, 2018, which reported: FBI warns Texas academic and medical leaders of ‘classified’ security threats.

The piece led off with this ominous excerpt:

#SPYGATE: Unmasking Little Billy Kristol and The Weekly Standard

By Julie Kelly

Barack Obama really owes Bill Kristol—big time.

First, had Kristol and his fellow neoconservatives not pushed for a deadly, prolonged war in Iraq after September 11, there would be no President Obama. The first-term senator’s premature candidacy for president was based largely on his vocal opposition to the Iraq War, which had been supported by his primary opponent, Senator Hillary Clinton.

“Most of you know I opposed this war from the start,” Obama said in his announcement speech in February 2007. “America, it’s time to start bringing our troops home. It’s time to admit that no amount of American lives can resolve the political disagreement that lies at the heart of someone else’s civil war.”

Second, Kristol’s magazine, The Weekly Standard, just gave political cover to Obama’s most unforgivable scandal: The weaponization of our law enforcement and intelligence apparatus to target Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and violate the constitutional rights of private U.S. citizens.

NOVEMBER IS COMING: I don't want you to get paranoid about the midterms, but it's time to get paranoid about the midterms

If you don't show up in November, these will be your new leaders in Congress:


Impeachment proceedings? Non-stop subpoenas? More appeasement of China and Iran? Marxists in Congress?

Start mobilizing your family, your friends, your colleagues now. It is our mission to send these Communists packing in November. If you don't turn out, if we don't turn out, the #MAGA experiment is over.

Volunteer here. And vote in November Like Your Life Depends On It. (Hat tip: Mark Levin)
