While the Biden administration is sending more troops and weapons to inflame the Ukraine conflict and Congress is pouring more fuel on the fire, the American people are on a totally different track. A December 2021 poll found that a plurality of Americans in both political parties prefer to resolve differences over Ukraine through diplomacy. Another December poll found that a plurality of Americans (48 percent) would oppose going to war with Russia should it invade Ukraine, with only 27 percent favoring U.S. military involvement. The conservative Koch Institute, which commissioned that […]

Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg via Getty Images Updated at 7:32 p.m. ET The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to a speedy review of President Trump’s attempt to exclude unauthorized immigrants from the census numbers used to reallocate seats in Congress. Last month, a lower court ruling blocked Trump’s push, calling a presidential memo that called for that unprecedented change unlawful. And […]
Former CIA Director John Brennan’s memo on Hillary Clinton’s alleged plan to frame her presidential contender Donald Trump came like a bolt from the blue at least partially confirming what has been long suspected about the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, say US independent journalist Max Parry and Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel. Following the US president’s announcement about authorising a massive declassification of materials related to the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) John Ratcliffe revealed that he had recently provided almost 1,000 documents to DOJ investigator John Durham who is looking into the conduct of law enforcement and intelligence […]
Last week, Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, published a Medium post stating that the company would not engage in broad societal issues, would not take on activism, and would not be a forum for political debate and discourse. He said he published this memorandum in response to internal strife at the company. If Wired is to be believed or the original text of the memo is any indication, much of that strife has been related to Coinbase’s response, or lack of it, to the Black Lives Matter movement. Reading between the many lines of PR-appropriate language, the message that Armstrong […]
Separating Facebook from Instagram and WhatsApp would harm consumers, cost billions and defy US law, the social media giant argued in a memo leaked to the media ahead of a congressional report expected to advise otherwise. The 14-page document was reviewed by the Wall Street Journal over the weekend and amounts to a preview of Facebook’s defense against the pending report from the House Antitrust Subcommittee. FB says breakup would be a “complete nonstarter” … as if theirs is the only view that matters. A breakup alone will not eliminate threat FB poses to democracy, public health, privacy, innovation, but it […]
Evidence is overwhelming. VT thinks it is very good for Russia to have a puppet like Trump destroying the United States. We don’t think that just because it’s “good for Russia” that people who claim to be American “patriots” should openly support a Russian program to destroy their worst enemy…us.

Earlier this week the Justice Department produced more evidence to General Mike Flynn’s legal team. The newly released documents were handwritten notes of Peter Strzok just one day after his January 24, 2017 ambush interview of Flynn. There was also a DOJ (?) memo dated January 30, 2017 which we speculated cleared Flynn. On Friday, the Justice Department unsealed the January 30, 2017 memo and it revealed the Obama coup cabal KNEW Flynn wasn’t lying and wasn’t an “agent of Russia.” TRENDING: Mayor De Blasio Tells CNN’s Wolf Blitzer That He Is Banning All Large Gatherings in NYC Except For Black […]
UK police officers have been instructed about the “engaging effect” of taking a knee before protesters, and alerted about the drawbacks if they refuse to do so, triggering shocked and confused reaction from the British public. The advice on kneeling was part of a recent operational briefing the officers received in the Hertfordshire Constabulary in southern England. The memo, cited by the Mail on Sunday, noted that although the gesture is “optional,” those who refuse to bend the knee “may become the focus of the protesters attention.” At the same time, kneeling “has a very positive and engaging effect,” and draws […]
Sen. Thom Tillis’ (R-N.C.) campaign spokesman acknowledged on Friday that he had copied large portions of a general election strategy memo from a similar document he had put together while working on Ed Gillespie’s 2017 bid to be governor of Virginia. The memo, which was released this past March, laid out an optimistic case for Tillis’ chances of re-election in North Carolina following former state senator Cal Cunningham’s emergence from the Democratic primary. But many of the arguments used the same language as a June 2017 memo that Gillespie’s campaign sent out after now-Gov. Ralph Northam emerged from his primary campaign. […]
Ex-FBI director James Comey pushed to investigate Trump’s incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn despite lacking any evidence Flynn had shared classified info with Russian officials, a newly-declassified memo reveals. It was Comey who told President Barack Obama and other administration officials that “incoming NSA Flynn is speaking frequently with Russian Ambassador Kislyak” in a meeting documented in the January 2017 memo by National Security Advisor Susan Rice, the unredacted first page of which was obtained by CBS on Tuesday. The FBI director admits he “has no indication thus far that Flynn has passed classified information to Kislyak,” and no real basis […]
Hillary Clinton believes she is above the law. Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch on Tuesday said Hillary Clinton is resisting a court order to produce a smoking gun memo on the search and review process that lead to the deletion of her emails. The watchdog group announced it filed a motion in federal court to compel Hillary Clinton to produce the December 2014 after action memorandum created by her personal attorney Heather Samuelson that memorializes the search for and processing of Clinton’s emails in 2014. Recall, Heather Samuelson reviewed Hillary Clinton’s State Department emails and 33,000 of them were ‘deleted’ with […]
The August 2017 scope memo penned by then-DAG Rod Rosenstein to Robert Mueller was released with redactions on Wednesday. Rosenstein wrote a total of three scope memos giving Mueller permission to rove around unchecked in a fishing expedition to not only target Trump officials, but to play defense and cover up the Obama administration’s crimes. The August 2017 scope memo revealed Mueller investigated Mike Flynn, a 3-star General and Trump’s National Security Advisor for the “crime” of “engaging in conversations with Russian government officials” during the Trump transition. Does the redacted section of the August scope memo relate to President Trump? […]

New guidelines for US military recruiters severely limit the chances for survivors of the coronavirus to join the ranks of the armed forces, banning them from service outright unless they obtain a special waiver. A memo penned by the US Military Entrance Processing Command (MEPCOM) laying out guidelines for staffers who screen applicants for military service has been circulated online. The authenticity of the document – which effectively makes the coronavirus a black mark, excluding survivors from the pool of potential recruits – was confirmed by Pentagon spokeswoman Jessica Maxwell on Wednesday, as cited by the Military Times. “During the screening […]
