Lawrence O’Donnell – No Regard for the Truth

By comment

NEWSFLASH: MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell was once a border patrol agent who was known to abuse undocumented

Yeah … I Wish!

immigrants!

This is a bold-faced lie that I just made up, and I’m admitting immediately, which is more than I can say for the claims made by Lawrence O’Donnell himself, regarding President Trump. This, among a million other reasons, is why I could not be employed by leftist “news” outlets like MSNBC.

But see how easy it is? Just make crap up and put it out there, knowing that in most cases, others will provide cover and maybe even advance the lie, via Twitter or other social media venue.

Reporting is dead and buried at these leftist cable outlets. It is all nothing but 24/7, anti-Trump, agenda-driven fabrications. And unless someone calls them on their lies, they will not retract or admit the fabrication.

from the Blaze:

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell claims President Trump co-signed loans with Russian oligarchs — then admits he has no proof

His own network was unable to confirm his story

UPDATE: at 4:10 p.m. ET Wednesday: MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell has issued a tweet retracting his claim that President Donald Trump co-signed loans with Russian oligarchs. O’Donnell called his own reporting “an error in judgment” and apologized for not going through his network’s “rigorous verification and standards process.”

“I shouldn’t have reported it and I was wrong to discuss it on the air,” he admitted. “I will address the issue on my show tonight. read more

A new US Air Force kit that can turn a conventional aircraft into a robotic one has completed its maiden flight. Developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and DZYNE Technologies Incorporated as part of the Robotic Pilot Unmanned Conversion Program, the ROBOpilot made its first two-hour flight on August 9 at the Dugway Proving Ground in Utah after being installed in a 1968 Cessna 206 small aircraft. read more

No Lie: Guys Leaves his Wife for Ilhan Omar

By comment

Well, it just goes to show – there really is someone for everyone out there. Even an anti-Semitic hate-filled Islamist.

from the New York Post:Tim Mynett and Ilhan Omar

My husband dumped me for Ilhan Omar, DC mom says in divorce filing

A Washington, DC, mom says her political-consultant husband left her for Rep. Ilhan Omar, according to a bombshell divorce filing obtained by The Post.

Dr. Beth Jordan Mynett says her cheating spouse, Tim Mynett, told her in April that he was having an affair with the Somali-born US representative and that he even made a “shocking declaration of love” for the Minnesota congresswoman before he ditched his wife, alleges the filing, submitted in DC Superior Court on Tuesday.

The physician, 55, and her 38-year-old husband — who has worked for left-wing Democrats such as Omar and her Minnesota predecessor, Keith Ellison — have a 13-year-old son together. read more

The story of human history is patchy at best, but now another patch may have been filled in. Archaeologists have found ancient tools at a dig site in Mongolia, indicating that humans were on the scene about 45,000 years ago, which is much earlier than current evidence suggests. There’s also a chance that the site is one spot where our ancestors met and mingled with the mysterious Denisovans. read more

The Amazon is Burning – Wherever Will We get Our Oxygen

By comment

by: Brent Smith at the Common Constitutionalist

Scroll Down for Audio Version

Mark Stein of Ice Station EIB was the guest host, filling in for Rush Limbaugh, on his national radio program Monday.

When I tuned in, Mark must been speaking of the Amazon forest fires, because he took a call on the topic. The caller began with the typical, “I’m a conservative, but…” intro. I think it’s what leftists are told to say by whatever group put him up to it.

After declaring himself a conservative he proceeded with the diatribe we’re already tired of hearing – that A: the cause of the Amazon fires are humans and B: it’s a catastrophe because the Amazon rainforest provides planet Earth with 20% of our oxygen.

As far as what is causing the fires, that’s yet to be determined, although, July through September is the dry season, so a simple lightning strike could set a dry forest ablaze.

The dry season happens ever year, which is why they call it the “dry” season. It is not “climate change.” Those who claim this are either true believers or agenda-driven liars.

The 20% oxygen claim is a relatively new warmist claim. However, it’s one that appears to be spreading like … well … wildfire. read more

WND Exclusive – How the ‘Squad’ actually benefits America

By comment

by Brent Smith for World Net Daily:

Many on the right and left wish to see “The Squad” just go away. They’re hoping that these radicals – Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley – are all defeated in the next election.

But I tend to agree with President Trump. Give them a soap box and a microphone, and allow them to spout their radical leftist nonsense all they like. Allow them the opportunity to continue to drag the Democratic Party further left, while driving the likes of Nancy Pelosi and the old-guard leadership nuts.

As they force the left further toward communism, even liberals, who just a few years ago we classified as leftist, appear almost reasonable – at least at times, and relative to this new crop. read more

Video Podcast – Enough with NFL Social Justice Already

By comment

by: Brent Smith at the Common Constitutionalist

So I found a couple of articles from the Sun Sentinel in Miami Florida about the ongoing ridiculousness of this social justice movement crap and the NFL.

It’s about one head coach, Brian Flores, of the Miami Dolphins who threw in with the social justice crowd by claiming that his own story was one of social justice.

I discuss this being a problem on several levels, but mostly, the coach missed a golden opportunity to tell his real life story of working hard in America, to achieve your goal. read more

Gun Confiscation – The Left has Found a Way to Make it Happen

By comment

This is where it all begins. We’ve all been told not to worry about “Red Flag” laws. They won’t be abused. They’ll be safe-guards. They tell us not to fear – that not just any old busy-body will be able trigger a red flag event to have one’s guns confiscated. And being a bigoted moron on social media cannot be one of those triggers. And “We’re from the government – you can trust us.”

from Organic Prepper: (Yep – that’s a site)

RED FLAG Gun Laws: Connecticut Man’s Firearms Seized Because His SON Shared a Meme on Facebook

Due to the recent mass shootings, there is a major push for so-called “red flag” gun laws at both the state and federal levels. These laws are the latest tool for gun control advocates to confiscate guns from people based upon only tips and suspicion. No crime has to be committed to trigger an investigation or confiscation.

Red flag laws violate multiple rights protected by our constitution. The Hill has an excellent article on how red flag laws violate more than the 2nd Amendment, including: read more

Jupiter is a gigantic ball of churning gas clouds, and that makes it hard to see what’s in the middle. It’s believed to be a relatively small, rocky core, but data from the Juno probe found that it’s less dense and more spread out than expected. Now, astronomers believe they have an answer – a huge ancient planet, with 10 times the mass of Earth, crashed into the gas giant in the early days of the solar system. read more
