Opinion | The Men Who Cost Clinton the Election By Jill Filipovic New York Times December 2, 2017 Matt Lauer, like Charlie Rose and Mark Halperin before him, is a journalist out of a job after his employer fired him for sexually harassing female colleagues. It’s good news that real penalties are now leveled on men who harass — after centuries of the costs mostly befalling the women who endure harassment. But the deep cultural rot that has corroded nearly all of our institutions and every corner of our culture is not just about a few badly behaved…
By Todd Beamon Newsmax December 2, 2017 Michael Flynn’s guilty plea in the Russia investigation is an indication of things to come, Freedom Watch founder Larry Klayman told Newsmax TV on Friday. “Anybody with any degree of criminal defense experience, particularly in Washington, D.C., knows that you don’t plead Gen. Flynn out for one count of perjuring yourself to the FBI,” Klayman, a former federal prosecutor, told “Newsmax Now” host Bill Tucker. Continue Reading…..
Trump keeps playing nice with Mueller, for now By Darren Samuelsohn POLITICO December 2, 2017 President Donald Trump’s lawyers have been counseling him since this past summer to play nice with special counsel Robert Mueller. Cooperation with the Russia probe, the president’s attorneys have argued, is the best path to the exoneration Trump has craved all year — a way not just to get things over with quickly, but also to signal to prosecutors that the administration has good intentions and nothing to hide.

Dem senator: Mueller must be protected from ‘another Saturday Night Massacre’ By Brandon Carter TheHill December 2, 2017 Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) warned Friday that Congress must protect special counsel Robert Mueller from being fired by President Trump, or risk “another Saturday Night Massacre.” “We proposed legislation that would stop [Trump] from firing the special counsel, and it would shield the special counsel from any sort of political interference, which now seems increasingly threatening,” Blumenthal said on MSNBC’s “All In with Chris Hayes.” Continue Reading…..
By Larry Klayman WND December 1, 2017 No matter how hard President Trump’s lawyers try to spin it, or favorably disposed media try to downplay it, the criminal charges filed today, with the entry of a plea against and cooperation agreement concerning retired Gen. Michael Flynn, do not bode well for the White House. Flynn pleaded guilty of one count of lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and with yet another leak from the special counsel it appears that no jail time will be recommended, only probation, if Flynn cooperates with Mueller and his team of Trump-hating…

McAuliffe ‘seriously’ considering 2020 run By Amie Parnes TheHill November 30, 2017 Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) is “seriously” considering the 2020 presidential race, according to confidants. “He’s given me every indication that he’s taking it seriously,” said one McAuliffe friend who has spoken to him about his 2020 prospects. “I don’t think he’s 100 percent decided that this is something he’s planning to do but it is something he’s seriously considering.” Continue Reading…..

North Korea can hit all of US with its new ICBM. Deal with it Ars Technica November 30, 2017 North Korea’s latest intercontinental ballistic missile test demonstrates a number of things that are not good news for anyone hoping to prevent the country from becoming a global nuclear power. The missile, called the Hwasong-15, flew high enough (more than 4,400 kilometers, or 2,700 miles—more than 10 times the altitude of the International Space Station) and long enough (54 minutes) to demonstrate that it was capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to anywhere in the United States.
