Trump’s relationship with Fox News is unprecedented. Sunday’s tweets prove it By Analysis by Brian Stelter, CNN Business CNN March 18, 2019 New York (CNN Business)Experts say the back-scratching relationship between President Trump and Fox News is unlike anything in the history of American media. Trump just keeps proving them right. On Sunday he defended two of Fox’s right-wing opinion shows and criticized three of the network’s news anchors.

Trump reignites criticism of McCain months after senator’s death By Brett Samuels TheHill March 18, 2019 President Trump belittled and mocked the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in a pair of tweets this weekend, reigniting criticism of the widely respected lawmaker seven months after his death. Trump’s tweets renewed his long-simmering disdain for McCain, who died in August after a battle with brain cancer. The criticism prompted McCain’s friends, family and former colleagues from both sides of the aisle to defend him and came amid a broader discussion over whether Trump’s rhetoric has contributed to inflamed tensions internationally.…

WND March 18, 2019 A federal appeals court has put a roadblock in front of the government’s attempt to appeal a district judge’s decision to throw out its case against Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy on the grounds of prosecutorial misconduct. Bundy and other family members were charged after an armed standoff at their ranch over grazing fees the government claimed they had not paid. The government confiscated some of the family’s cattle, supporters from across the nation gathered and the standoff ensued. The feds eventually backed down. But when the government put Bundy and others on trial for their…
By Larry Klayman WND March 17, 2019 While expressing concern about the rank discrimination against conservatives on social media platforms such as Google/You Tube, Twitter, Facebook, Apple and Instagram, newly appointed Trump judge — the Honorable Trevor McFadden — strained to dismiss, albeit without prejudice, the class-action suit which I had filed for my public-interest group Freedom Watch and Laura Loomer. Ms. Loomer, a conservative Jewish activist, had been banned from social media and PayPal over her strong views about Muslim congresswoman’s Ihan Omar’s links to, and association with, Islamic groups like the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR),…
Cy Vance Has a Double Jeopardy Problem. It Will Delegitimize His Case Against Paul Manafort. By Jed Shugerman Slate Magazine March 17, 2019 Judge Amy Berman Jackson completed her sentencing of Paul Manafort for federal charges earlier this week, and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office wasted no time indicting the former Trump campaign chairman on 16 additional counts for state crimes. The indictment seemed calculated to prevent Donald Trump from letting a potential confederate off the hook with a presidential pardon, while the timing allowed for the federal prosecution to fully conclude. (I have been suggesting this state-action…

The Hollywood Reporter March 16, 2019 Huffington Post reported the convicted former sheriff went to prison. Although he didn’t, the publication says the gist was substantially true. Joe Arpaio, the controversial former sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz., who earned Donald Trump’s first pardon, is many things, but he’s not a “convicted felon,” as CNN reported, not an “ex-felon,” as Rolling Stone described him, and he has never been “sent to prison,” as the Huffington Post once wrote in passing in the midst of a story that had not much to do with him. Yes, he was convicted of criminal…
