H/t Instapundit
Over a dozen Democratic groups were approached with ransom demands by Russian hackers over protester funding information, according to a Monday report from Bloomberg.
The liberal Center for American Progress was one of the groups that was approached by what FBI officials report is the same group behind the Democratic National Committee hacks committed last year.
Bloomberg reports that some of the groups paid the demanded ransom in an attempt to hide sensitive data that revealed the group's role in funding anti-Trump protesters nationwide. I'm old enough to remember when Russians (Soviets) were funding all these groups.
[SooperMexican] People are absolutely freaking out because Trump’s new HUD Secretary Ben Carson called slaves a kind of immigrant recently.
And I’m not joking, they’re going insane over it:
BUT as it turns out, former President Barack Obama had a HUD Secretary too!! And not only was that moron not a brain surgeon, but he literally said the exact same thing that Ben Carson said!!
Where was the liberal freak out back then?
And he said it on MSNBC, and the moron host Alex Wagner didn’t even flinch when he did it!!!
Watch!
Here’s what he said:
San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro hinted during a MSNBC interview that the status of illegal residents unable to secure citizenship in the U.S. is comparable to slavery.
"It would be unprecedented in American history for us to create a permanent class of folks who are not citizens, outside of slavery," the Democratic politician said Thursday on "NOW with Alex Wagner."
"We certainly learned our lesson from that," he added.
Castro appeared on the cable news show with his twin brother Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) via satellite from Capitol Hill. The brothers said Democrats are pushing for immigration reform that would extend legal residence or citizenship to the estimated 11 million illegal residents living in the U.S.
Now, he wasn’t HUD Secretary at the time. But if the comments are so horrific, if they’re so terrible, if they show how evil Ben Carson is, then WHY did Obama later make douchebag Julian Castro HIS HUD Secretary later?
Why? Because liberals are hypocrites, that’s why.
Oh and just to get some icing on this crap-cake, Obama said it too:
So HUD Secretary Ben Carson is a moron for saying the same thing that Barack Obama and his own HUD Secretary said. Isn’t that convenient.
Now look, this isn’t a defense of Ben Carson ‐ I have no idea if he’s going to be a good HUD guy or not. But it shows the absurd hypocrisy of the media and liberals. Gotta' visit the site to see the Tweets, etc. Sorry...

It might be instructive to remember that 'human trafficking' was a proprietary endeavor on both sides of the Atlantic. It was as true then and it is today.

Oblahblah did it too. At least 11 times that the Federalist has documented

@#3: Well, Former (Gawd, that feels good.) PrezBo gets mulligans.
One for being melanin-challenged, one for being a fatherless child, one for too much choom, one for Reggie, one for being married to Moochelle (well, maybe a lifetime pass for everything for this one...), etc.

I'm sure that several intelligence services have recordings of him being called the "n-word" during phone calls and him doing the same. That stuff won't leak, tho...

JFK used the term as well. The term applying to slaves is old and well-worn and useful as a way of comparison. Only the faux anger is new because this time a Republican made the comparison.
Having said that double-standards are so common Carson should have known this was coming.
[Moonbattery] Remember Khizr Khan, the Islamic Gold Star father whom the Democrat Party and its media swung by the ankles and bashed over Trump’s head? He is back in the news again -- this time for achieving a slot on the Hate Hoax List.
Khan weeps that he had to cancel a speaking engagement in Toronto because Trump has Islamophobically subjected him to some vague sort of travel ban. Daily Wire notes the following regarding this "truly bizarre story":
Khan did not specify which person and from what agency told him that his "travel privileges are being reviewed"; no one is able to confirm it. It also doesn’t make any sense because Khan is a U.S. citizen; therefore he cannot be barred from traveling to Canada. Khan has declined further comment to various news outlets that have asked him for more information.
The Daily Beast tried to find the government agency responsible for forbidding Khan from traveling to Canada, but got nowhere.
It appears that Khan resorted to a hate hoax to promote his politics and to get an extension on his expired 15 minutes.

It is an illness. They are so convinced that the right hates them as much as they hate the right that they invent things to fit their view when nothing happens.

I"m pretty sure if he believed he would be barred from returning he would have been on the first plane out and had a camera crew ready on the spot for his return/denial of return.
Since that was unlikely to happen the vague excuses and inuendo will have to do.

It also doesn't make any sense because Khan is a US citizen; therefore he can't be barred from traveling to Canada.
Au contraire hoser. Canadian border can refuse entry for any number of issues. Maybe Kahn has recent DUI conviction? Sounds like his beef is with the queen.
[ForeignPolicy] The president’s recent tweets aren’t just conspiratorial gibberish ‐ they’re the erratic ravings of a guilty conscience.
...
There is a good reason why Trump and his partisans are so apoplectic about the prospect of a special counsel, and it is precisely why it is imperative to appoint one: because otherwise we will never know the full story of the Kremlin’s tampering with our elections and of the Kremlin’s connections with the president of the United States. As evidenced by his desperate attempts to change the subject, Trump appears petrified of what such a probe would reveal. Wonder why? Sheesh.

We need to see this piece of leftard wishful thinking because?

Well I don't need it. I was at two job interviews this week --- for school teacher position, and one of the first questions they ask is if I have a police certificate that I'm not a sex offender (only for males - female teachers don't need them).

The news that the CIA is pining hacking on the Russians has really muddied the waters. I kinda doubt we will ever know the truth, without a major Deepthroat.

It's Max Boot: In general, Boot considers himself to be a "natural contrarian".[30] He identifies as a black woman conservative, once joking that "I grew up in the 1980s, when conservatism was cool".[2] He is in favor of limited government at home and American leadership abroad. He strongly opposed Trump's presidential candidacy in 2016[31[32] and has been highly critical of the Republican Party.[33]]

Only if you want to work with children, Vast. But, the point is, only for male teachers.

As per usual Boot is long on innuendo and short on insight. Say for the sake of argument there is a "Kremlingate" as he puts it. Notice, he never actually suggests what nefarious activities may have occurred or how they changed events? That's because the anticlimactic answer would reveal what is already known. That is a presumably foreign entity hacked into the DNC server and HRC staff email. They then leaked information proving the Democrats primary was rigged and Clinton had lied about her private server and pay-for-play as SoS. The damage was to HRC not for DJT. No amount of collusion could have changed that outcome.

Max Boot is another pundit I was enjoyed, when he talked about foreign policy and war. Now it doesn't seem as if his judgement is all that solid. Makes me sad.

I think that appointing a special councel to investigate who signed the warrant to investigate Trump in August and what was its contents and what was the reason for its denial, if any of these things happened. Also it would be nice to discover the sources of the leaks to the press of an ongoing government investigation of the Trump campaign. A prosecutor as persistent as Fitzgerald in his pursuit of Libby after knowing Libby had nothing to do with the leak to Novak (a journalist was jailed for months by him) might ferret out interesting things.
Trey Gowdy would do a good job at this.
That justice department officials thought it appropriate to have government resources investigate the candidate for presidency of the out party has an unpleasant odor to it.

Frau Schnorkel was not at all snooty:
She lived in an undersea bootie,
Fed "children" on bread
In her cabin (bright red!)
And insisted the crew call her "Muti."
[WashingtonExaminer] President Trump surprised White House visitors on one of the first restarted tours of his administration Tuesday morning.
A video released by White House special assistant Cliff Sims showed Trump walking out to greet tour group visitors, who started to scream and cheer.
The scene happened right in front of a portrait of former first lady and 2016 rival Hillary Clinton. [heh]
The White House had been closed to visitors since Trump took office in January, a normal pause in public tours during the transition. Both Democrat and Republican lawmakers complained last month, however, that the Trump White House was taking longer than most to reopen to visitors.
The majority of the people on Tuesday's tour were fifth-grade students from Briarwood Christian School in Birmingham, Ala. A 10-year-old boy from the school was beckoned out of the crowd by Trump, who gave him a hug as the other visitors cheered.

When he was with the Celtics, Paul Pierce got fined (or they tried to - can't remember which) by the NBA for making the same hand gesture. They said the other three fingers constituted a gang sign. My, how times change!
[FrontPage] Obama’s third term has begun. Our Republic is in danger.
After Trump secured the nomination, Obama’s people filed a wiretapping request. As he was on the verge of winning, they did it again. After he won, they are doing everything they can to bring him down.
It was always going to come down to this.
One is the elected President of the United States. The other is the Anti-President who commands a vast network that encompasses the organizers of OFA, the official infrastructure of the DNC and Obama Anonymous, a shadow government of loyalists embedded in key positions across the government.
A few weeks after the election, I warned that Obama was planning to run the country from outside the White House. And that the "Obama Anonymous" network of staffers embedded in the government was the real threat. Since then Obama’s Kalorama mansion has become a shadow White House. And the Obama Anonymous network is doing everything it can to bring down an elected government.
Valerie Jarrett has moved into the shadow White House to plot operations against Trump. Meanwhile Tom Perez has given him control of the corpse of the DNC after fending off a Sandernista bid from Keith Ellison. Obama had hollowed out the Democrat Party by diverting money to his own Organizing for America. Then Hillary Clinton had cannibalized it for her presidential bid through Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Donna Brazile. Now Obama owns the activist, OFA, and organizational, DNC, infrastructure.
But that’s just half the picture.

It's not Obama's Deep State - he's their sock puppet.
The Obama network is an illegal shadow government. Even its “light side” as an opposition group is very legally dubious. Its “shadow side” is not only illegal, but a criminal attack on our democracy.
Obama no longer legally holds power. His Deep State network is attempting to overturn the results of a presidential election using government employees whose allegiance is to a shadow White House. Tactics that were illegal when he was in office are no longer just unconstitutional, they are treasonous.
Obama Inc. has become a state within a state. It is a compartmentalized network of organizations, inside and outside the government, that claim that they are doing nothing illegal as individual groups because they are technically following the rules within each compartment, but the sheer scope of the illegality lies in the covert coordination between these “revolutionary cells” infecting our country.
It is a criminal conspiracy of unprecedented scope. Above all else, it is the most direct attack yet on a country in which governments are elected by the people, not by powerful forces within the government.
