Don Lemon to pundit: I don’t want to hear about Benghazi YouTube December 30, 2017

By Becca Blond Newsmax December 30, 2017 Once upon a time in Hollywood, being a member of the GOP or holding conservative values could spell disaster for an actor’s career. But when Donald Trump, a billionaire businessman with a background in entertainment, announced his intentions to run for the highest office in the land, celebs like Jon Voight, Dennis Rodman, and Scott Baio proudly supported the former host of “The Apprentice.” Continue Reading…..

By Larry Klayman WND December 29, 2017 About four years ago, in the spring of 2014, shortly after the successful Bunkerville standoff (see ClivenBundyDefenseFund.org) — where Cliven Bundy, his wife, sons and family, along with hundreds of peaceful protesters, stood down a tyrannical Bureau of Land Management — I traveled to the ranch to meet Cliven.

There was one last week that conservatives can’t let slide down the memory hole. Breitbart’s editor-in-chief, Alex Marlow, admitted in an interview with CNN’s Oliver Darcy that its full-court-press in favor of Roy Moore was motivated by a desire to protect Donald Trump and that Marlow actually thought Leigh Corfman’s claims against Moore “had a lot of credibility.” Corfman, you might recall,…

By Bob Barr Townhall December 27, 2017 Trump should immediately direct Attorney General Jeff Sessions to halt the lengthy and unfair prosecution of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy. The nearly four-year old prosecution of Bundy, his sons, and a number of their many supporters, has been more than a prosecution. It has been a crusade; begun under former Attorney General Eric Holder in 2014, continued all this past year by an interim career prosecutor in Las Vegas, and abetted by a federal judge appointed by Obama and whose animus toward Bundy is palpable.

Mueller is reportedly investigating whether the Trump campaign coordinated voter outreach with Russian trolls The Week December 27, 2017 Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election will churn on, Yahoo News reported Wednesday, as Mueller has apparently taken an interest in the online advertising operation built by the Trump campaign and Republican National Committee last year. The investigation will reportedly seek to determine whether the Trump campaign and the RNC worked in conjunction with Russian-backed social media accounts that posted false or inflammatory political content. Business Insider’s Natasha Bertrand pointed out that Russian…
