[Free Beacon] Democratic congressional candidate Scott Wallace's taxes suggest he was out of the country for more than two years while receiving tax credits in Maryland that require residency in the state for at least six months out of the year.
Wallace, a wealthy progressive philanthropist, is challenging first-term Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick in Pennsylvania's 1st Congressional District. Before moving back to the district to run for office, Wallace spent time in Maryland and South Africa running the Wallace Global Fund, his family's foundation, which has given millions to radical left-wing groups.
Wallace was hit with a $70,000 tax lien in Maryland, which the Congressional Leadership Fund, a group backed by House Majority Leader Paul Ryan (R., Wis.), has hammered the Democrat for. Wallace countered the group by releasing an advertisement and his campaign said that he had paid his taxes in full upon seeing his bills. Emphasis added.

As the fight over Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the US Supreme Court unfolded this summer, consuming most of the oxygen available for judge-related punditry and spurring millions of dollars in ad spending by outside groups, the Senate confirmed more than two dozen of President Donald Trump’s judicial picks to lifetime appointments with little fanfare.

Now confirm Kavanaugh, and pray that Ginsburg retires.

Advanced narcissism. Di-Fi attempting to remain relevant "I am a US Senator General. Please call me Senator."
Maverick tried to remain relevant, as evidenced by his 'made for TV' funeral planning.

This may portend a Trump Hat Trick. She palled with Scalia, and may have once lived with a forceful verve, but now:
If she were a true "Party First" kind of gal, would she have not stepped down 3-1/2 years ago?

With Democratic Party politicians and press whipping their true believers into a frenzy, violent acts by liberals are becoming more common.
...The most serious of these incidents occurred in California, where a rabid Democrat, after shouting "F*** Trump! F*** Trump!" attacked a Republican Congressional candidate with a switchblade knife:
...Is "Maxine Waters told me to do it" a defense? It is only a matter of time before someone gets killed. Actually, it is only due to a miracle that James Hodgkinson has not already claimed the first fatalities on behalf of the Democratic Party’s Left.
They have lost the supreme court. They are losing the circuit courts. Even if they take the house, they won't have the senate and they will not be able to impeach, but even stop the rest of the circuit courts from flipping.
They know if they don't do something extreme, they will not be able to push their radical agenda on the public by force.
If they don't take the house, I do expect them to ease up a bit until the next election. But if they do take the house and still are getting run over by Trump and his policies, I do expect a full hot war to break out.

Actually it feels more likely that if they don't get their vaunted blue wave, the crazies will go full-bore nuts. I really do think that will be what drives them over the edge is the fact they once again, lose and the people reject them. It will make them feel so isolated and rejected that they will feel they have no choice.
[DailyCaller] Former National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers on Tuesday disputed a report published in May 2017 alleging that President Donald Trump asked him to push back against the FBI's collusion investigation.
"I've never had a discussion with collusion with the president of the United States," Rogers said at an event held at George Mason University, according to CBS News.
"I've never been directed to do anything, coerced ‐ any time I had a discussion I felt I was able to say, ‘Hey, here's my view on that.'"
The Washington Post reported May 22, 2017, that Trump separately asked Rogers and Dan Coates, the director of the office of national intelligence, to push back against the FBI's investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.
The alleged request came after then-FBI Director James Comey testified that the bureau was investigating whether members of the Trump team conspired with the Kremlin to influence the 2016 presidential election.
Citing multiple anonymous sources, WaPo reported that Rogers refused to comply with Trump's request. The newspaper also reported that a senior NSA official wrote a memo detailing the interaction between Trump and Rogers. (RELATED: Senate Intel Chairman Says He Has Not Seen Evidence Of Collusion)
"I was never asked that," Rogers said Tuesday in regard to whether Trump made the request.
When asked why he did not publicly rebut the story after it was published, Rogers said that if he spent time shooting down inaccurate media reports, "I'd never get anything done." I LIKE this guy

[BREITBART] A brutal new ad will hit Democrat Joe Radinovich in Minnesota over his history with criminal convictions, license suspensions, and having been charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, Breitbart News has learned.
The ad, from the House GOP leadership-backed Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), is perhaps one of the most brutal this cycle. It literally shows an illegal aluminum foil drug-smoking device to illustrate how Radinovich was charged by police back on Feb. 4, 2005, with possession of drug paraphernalia.
But that’s not all: The ad counts off Radinovich’s 18 various criminal charges, dozens of traffic violations, multiple driver’s license suspensions, and argues that this Democrat is not fit to serve in Congress due to his record.
"Joe Radinovich wants to go to Congress to make laws, but he’s spent his life running from the law," CLF front man Michael Byerly said in a statement accompanying the ad. "Radinovich’s run-ins with the law include 18 different crimes, five drivers’ license suspensions, even a possession of drug paraphernalia charge. Joe Radinovich isn’t fit to serve in Congress. Minnesota families deserve better."
Court records obtained by Breitbart News show that Radinovich was charged on Feb. 4, 2005, with possession of prohibited drug paraphernalia and he pled "not guilty" on March 21, 2005. The case went to trial on July 6, 2005, and Radinovich received what is known as a "continued for dismissal" disposition on the drug paraphernalia charge.
In Minnesota, prosecuting attorneys will sometimes offer a continuance for dismissal on charges pending compliance by the defendant with certain terms for a period of time when the case is later dismissed. Per the court records, Radinovich agreed to comply with random drug testing at his own expense. But those records also show Radinovich‐a month after receiving the continuance‐received a delinquent payment notice.
Two months after the continuance on the drug charge, Radinovich’s driver’s license was suspended. In December 2005, Radinovich was found guilty of driving without a license‐while it was suspended. Later, in 2006 and 2007, he was convicted and found guilty of driving with a revoked or suspended driver’s license in two separate incidents.

It is kind of strange, many years past a politician reportedly said the only things that could keep a politician out of office was to be caught with a dead prostitute or a live boy. Now , as stated , those would just be pre-qualifiers.

[Free Beacon] Former Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday that the Obama administration knew that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad kept some of his chemical weapons despite an international agreement brokered to remove the entire stockpile by mid-2014.
"We said we got a hundred percent of the declared weapons out, which is what the Organization for the [Prohibition] of Chemical Weapons was able to track," Kerry said on Fox News. "We knew that Assad had kept some, and we tried to go to the [United Nations] Security Council, and, unfortunately, Russia played games and we didn't get there."
In 2013, the United States and Russia struck a deal to remove Syria's entire arsenal of chemical weapons from the country by the middle of 2014. Kerry and other Obama administration officials publicly touted the deal as a major success.
"We struck a deal where we got 100 percent of the chemical weapons out," Kerry said on NBC's "Meet the Press" in 2014.
President Obama, on Aug. 18, 2014: "Today we mark an important achievement in our ongoing effort to counter the spread of weapons of mass destruction by eliminating Syria's declared chemical weapons stockpile."
Kerry on Oct. 31, 2014: "We ... cut the deal that got 100 percent of the declared chemical weapons out of Syria, and people nevertheless have been critical -- of one day of bombing versus the virtue of getting 100 percent of the chemical weapons out of Syria."
Kerry reiterated the accomplishment on Feb. 24, 2015, telling the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: "We got, as you know, last year, all the chemical weapons out of Syria."
True, Bloomberg reported on May 13, 2015: "The U.S. government was informed months ago that an international monitoring body found traces of chemical weapons that President Bashar al-Assad had promised to turn over, including sarin gas -- a clear violation of the deal he struck with President Obama after crossing the administration's 'red line' two years ago.
