| BONGINO: DEEP STATE FREAKING OUT OVER “BIDEN’S SHADY UKRAINIAN DEALS WITH HIS KID” Posted: 21 Sep 2019 08:00 PM PDT The deep state is panicking over Joe Biden's admission that he threatened to bankrupt Ukraine unless its government fired a prosecutor investigating his son's "questionable business activities there," according to radio host Dan Bongino. Bongino also suggested that Biden's allies in the media are pushing the ongoing whistleblower story claiming that President Trump is guilty of wrongdoing by making undisclosed promises to Ukraine in an attempt to deflect attention away from Biden, who admitted he threatened Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor who was leading a corruption probe. "They're… panicking over Joe Biden's actions in Ukraine to block the investigation into his son's questionable business activities there," he tweeted on Friday. "The latest anti-Trump intel leak about the 'promise' to a foreign gov't is CLEARLY an effort to intimidate Trump into backing away." More  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Men Are Still Out There "And Won't Stand For This Nonsense Forever" Posted: 21 Sep 2019 07:30 PM PDT President Of The Selfies Unlike the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, Elizabeth Warren doesn't radiate contempt, loathing, and horror at the task of mingling with the hoi polloi. Rather, she has become famous for staging lengthy sessions after campaign speeches to pose for selfies with her fans. The selfie-seekers, you will notice, are all women. It's heartwarming as all get out. This is at the center of Senator Warren's strategy for winning the next election: to cadge all of the women's vote and become the President of all the women of the United States. It's a shrewd strategy, to turn the election into a gender-bonding contest, but elections have turned on equally fatuous premises, probably more often than not. Paradoxically, the lumbering President Trump, with his bay window belly, mystifying bouffant, fourth-grade vocabulary, and grab-them-by-the-pussy approach to romance, scored 53 percent of women's votes last time around. Perhaps that was more a reflection of his opponent's titanic loathsomeness than of Mr. Trump's charms. But it only underscores Ms. Warren's gambit: all she has to do is swing a generous majority of American women over to her side. She is, in many ways, an exemplar of her sex. She's made the best of her corn-fed Oklahoma looks. At 69, she capers energetically around the hustings in spanx and Nina McLemore jewel-toned, popped-collar jackets as though she were America's yoga instructor, an appealing addition to her previous career as a distinguished Harvard law professor. She scores well on the feelings and sharing index, qualities that most men can only caricature. (Claiming to be a Cherokee was a forgivable way of sharing — sharing useful identities for career advancement.) And she has a palpable edge of anger about all the swindles and injustices in American life today, especially those spawned on Wall Street by the financial patriarchy — hey, who can argue with that one? If she has a husband (she has, Harvard law prof Bruce H. Mann) he might as well be hiding under a rock. More  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| One dead, five injured in Washington, DC, shooting Posted: 21 Sep 2019 07:00 PM PDT One person was killed and five others wounded Thursday in a shooting on the streets of Washington, DC, not far from the White House, police said. Police had not apprehended a suspect as of late Thursday and did not know the motive for the shooting, said Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Emerman. He said it was not an active shooting situation. "Detectives are interviewing witnesses and looking for camera footage," Emerman said. More  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 21 Sep 2019 06:30 PM PDT This is one of several articles posted at The Gateway Pundit on Ukrainian government collusion with the Hillary Campaign and Deep State to take down Donald Trump. We are reposting today since Ukraine is back in the news. Now that Congress has negotiated a deal for James Comey to testify, they need to buckle down and get ready to ask a hostile witness questions about a shocking, but undisputed, story. In August, 2016 the government of Ukraine, who were working directly with James Comey's FBI, released unsubstantiated accusations against Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort that led to his resignation five days later. Further, these allegations were made by a Ukrainian political operative working with two of Hillary Clinton's billionaire financial backers. This isn't conspiracy theory or wild accusation. It's the truth and it's been hiding in plain sight since August, 2016. It was reported in the New York Times, albeit with significant omissions. More  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Openly gay Buttigieg still must work to win over LGBT voters Posted: 21 Sep 2019 05:30 PM PDT CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — As Democratic presidential hopefuls court support from voters by painting themselves as leaders on LGBT issues, one candidate would appear to have a distinct advantage: openly gay South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg. But despite being part of their community, attendees at a GLAAD LGBTQ forum on Friday said that Buttigieg's sexual orientation and potential to be the first openly gay presidential nominee does not guarantee support from LGBT voters. "It's not necessarily automatic that he's necessarily going to be the right candidate for LGBT issues," said Tucker Dangremond, a 24-year-old medical student at the University of Iowa.

| Cory Booker memo warns candidate may not be in race 'much longer' without fundraising boost Posted: 21 Sep 2019 05:00 PM PDT Sen. Cory Booker's presidential campaign manager is warning in a memo to staff that the Democratic senator from New Jersey must raise an additional $1.7 million by the end of the third quarter of fundraising – just 10 days away – or the campaign will not have a "legitimate long-term path forward." In the memo, campaign manager Addisu Demissie warned that following a weaker than expected cash haul during the early part of September, "the next 10 days will determine whether Cory Booker can stay in this race." The existence of the memo was first reported Saturday morning by NBC News, with Fox News confirming the news with multiple sources.

| Posted: 21 Sep 2019 04:30 PM PDT As more pieces fall into place it becomes evident, once again, that the US media blew another hit piece on President Trump. The latest overly hyped Ukrainian scandal just blew up in their face. For over two year The Gateway Pundit has been reporting on Ukrainian collusion with the Hillary Clinton campaign. For the past six months TGP has been reporting on Joe Biden's criminal acts in Ukraine. According to John Solomon it was the Ukrainians that initiated contact with the Trump administration and it was the State Department that encouraged Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani to meet with a top Ukrainian official in July in Spain.

| Troopers Arrest Two On Drug Charges-Seaford Posted: 21 Sep 2019 03:30 PM PDT  Seaford- The Delaware State Police have arrested a brother and sister after a pre-approved administrative search led to the discovery of drugs and weapons. On September 20, 2019 members of the Governor's Task Force (GTF) were contacted by Probation Officers from the Georgetown Probation Office in regards to probationer, 22-year-old Daniel A. Allen. Allen is currently serving a home confinement sentence for a previous drug dealing conviction. Probation Officers had responded to his residence, located in the 700 block of Atlanta Road, Seaford, to conduct a pre-approved administrative search. Upon arrival at the residence, Probation Officers contacted Allen, his sister, 27-year-old Alexia K. Allen and two juvenile children. As a result of the administrative search, Probation Officers located the following items:

| Posted: 21 Sep 2019 03:00 PM PDT New evidence shows that Rep. Ilhan Omar was married to her brother – husband at the same time she was going to school at North Dakota State University (NDSU). She claims she last saw him in 2011 but he was enrolled at NDSU through 2012 and we now have evidence he visited the US in 2012. As TGP previously reported, evidence shows Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar lied about the location of her brother/husband as well as when she last saw him in front of the court. Omar appears to have married her brother (obviously illegally) to assist him in obtaining citizenship in the US. We reported in June that Ilhan Omar's husband, whom she divorced, was actually her brother. Omar in her divorce decree said that she had not contacted her husband since 2011 and she did not know where he (her brother and husband) was located – More  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sanders unveils plan to cancel all $81 billion of US medical debt Posted: 21 Sep 2019 02:30 PM PDT Bernie Sanders released a plan to erase all of America's medical debt — about $81 billion — as part of his multifaceted strategy to dramatically reshape the provision of healthcare. The Democratic presidential candidate's proposal, released Saturday morning, would not only forgive debt through government negotiation with collectors, but also would reform the means by which debt is collected and upend the system that he says only hurts people seeking protection by filing for bankruptcy. His plan would also replace credit reporting agencies like Equifax with a public credit registry that ignores medical debt when calculating scores. "A staggering 79 million Americans struggle to pay their medical bills or are paying off medical debt, including more than half of those making less than $40,000 a year," the Vermont senator said in Saturday's statement. "Last year alone, 8 million people were pushed into poverty due to medical expenses." More  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Robert Kraft fired Antonio Brown over ‘threatening’ texts to accuser Posted: 21 Sep 2019 02:00 PM PDT New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was "enraged" when he learned of threatening messages Antonio Brown sent to one of the women accusing him of sexual harassment, according to a report. Kraft was on a business trip when he learned of the latest accusations against the troubled wide receiver, The Athletic said. Kraft then decided with coach Bill Belichick to release Brown, a move which came immediately after reports surfaced Thursday that Brown texted the woman in a group chat with his underlings and accused her of trying to extort money from him. "Let's lok[sic] up her background history see how broke this girl is," Brown allegedly texted the unnamed accuser Wednesday night, after she publicly accused him of firing her from a painting job at his home after she rejected his sexual advances.

| Pregnant mom hacked to death in front of son at luxury South African resort Posted: 21 Sep 2019 01:30 PM PDT A pregnant young woman was hacked to death in her bed Tuesday during a family break at a luxury South African vacation resort. Karen Turner, 31, who was three months pregnant, was sleeping with her husband, Matthew, 33, and their toddler son when they were attacked at about 3 a.m. Tuesday. Matthew was stabbed repeatedly as he lay beside his wife at the Hluleka Nature Reserve in the Eastern Cape province of the country. Two men armed with knives sneaked into their self-contained lodge overlooking the beach. Karen, a primary school teacher from Underberg, South Africa, died almost instantly, while Matthew managed to fight back and survived after being flown to Pietermaritzburg, where he underwent surgery, according to police.

| Trump Puts Filthy San Francisco on ‘Notice,’ Says EPA Getting Involved Posted: 21 Sep 2019 01:00 PM PDT President Trump blasted conditions in San Francisco, saying the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will likely issue a notice of violation to the city. He indicated the federal government could soon punish the city for allowing rampant homelessness, drug abuse, and filth to spiral out of control, affecting natural resources in the area. "If you look at San Francisco, it's a total disaster what's happening — they're going to ruin those cities," President Trump told reporters during a visit to the southern border in California. "We're going to get involved very soon on a federal basis if they don't clean up their act." More  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 21 Sep 2019 12:30 PM PDT A Seattle police officer filed a $10 million claim against the city Wednesday, alleging that he was exposed to an "extremely dangerous man-made toxin" when he was assigned to clean up a homeless camp in the industrial SoDo neighborhood in January. Timothy Gifford claims he was exposed to high concentrations of the toxic chemical compounds polychlorinated biphenyls, (PCBs) that were once widely used in electrical equipment such as capacitors and transformers, according to The Seattle Times. Gifford says the exposure worsened a lifelong liver condition, causing him to be diagnosed with early-onset Type 2 diabetes. His lawyer said aside from the liver condition, Gifford has been in generally good health.

| Posted: 21 Sep 2019 12:00 PM PDT Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said Friday in a Fox op-ed that the Deep State whistleblower who penned a complaint against Trump may not be a whistleblower at all — it appears he is an American spy in our Intel Agency spying on President Trump. This new Deep State hit began effervescing last week when House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) subpoenaed Acting DNI Joseph Maguire and accused him of illegally withholding a whistleblower complaint from Congress that could potentially be 'covering up the president's misconduct' over a phone call he had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Gregg Jarrett questioned the Deep State snitch's whistleblower status and suggested he may just be an American spy in our intel agency who is spying on our own President.

| Posted: 21 Sep 2019 11:30 AM PDT What would a Deep State hit be without Hillary Clinton, the most crooked woman in Washington DC? The Russian collusion canard failed so Adam Schiff, a Deep State snitch and their stenographers in the media are attacking President Trump with a new whistleblower 'scandal.' This new Deep State hit began effervescing last week when House Intel Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) subpoenaed Acting DNI Joseph Maguire and accused him of illegally withholding a whistleblower complaint from Congress that could potentially be 'covering up the president's misconduct' over a phone call he had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The Democrat-Deep State cabal is alleging Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani sought to manipulate the Ukrainian government into assisting Trump win the 2020 presidential election.

| Trump Jr. urges MAGA votes for Sean Spicer on Dancing with the Stars to drive Hollywood 'crazy' Posted: 21 Sep 2019 11:00 AM PDT Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer is doing what he does best in his bid to push deep into the Dancing with the Stars season. And it's not dancing. He and his Washington fans are mounting a classic "get out the vote" campaign to help him overcome critical comments from the ABC show's three judges and host Tom Bergeron. The effort to get Trump fans to text "SEAN to 21523" during the show, complete with a website, hats, and helpful urging from Donald Trump Jr., is especially strong in the Washington area, where the show will be preempted by Monday Night Football featuring the Washington Redskins.

| Three Spy Planes Could Soon Be Flying Over Baltimore To Counter Murder Crisis Posted: 21 Sep 2019 10:30 AM PDT Earlier this month, we reported how Gov. Larry Hogan pledged $21 million to assist Baltimore City in their efforts to stop the spread of the murder crisis. Hogan also endorsed the use of a controversial surveillance plane program that would fly thousands of feet above to record every movement of people and vehicles in the city. Now The Baltimore Sun is reporting that three spy planes could soon be flying overhead, in a $6.6 million surveillance program that would be entirely funded by outside donors for three years. The Sun obtained emails from Ross McNutt of Ohio-based Persistent Surveillance Systems and officials in Mayor Bernard C. "Jack" Young's office that expressed support in the program.

| The Idolatry of Environmental Extremism Posted: 21 Sep 2019 10:00 AM PDT A bizarre incident at Union Theological Seminary illustrates why many Christians believe that internal forces, not external ones, represent the greatest threat to the church. Students at this seminary prayed to a collection of plants in its chapel, which triggered a raft of criticism on Twitter. The school defiantly defended its action in a series of tweets. "Today in chapel, we confessed to plants," the school tweeted. "Together, we held our grief, joy, regret, hope, guilt and sorrow in prayer; offering them to the beings who sustain us but whose gift we too often fail to honor. What do you confess to the plants in your life?" Some Twitter respondents observed that the seminary and its students have lost their minds, but I think it's worse than that. Insanity might mitigate this sacrilege, but deliberately perverting theology is another matter. More  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Candace Owens tells Congress: White supremacy not even a top 100 issue for minorities Posted: 21 Sep 2019 09:30 AM PDT Right-wing activist Candace Owens testified before Congress on a hearing for combating white supremacy, claiming it's not a top issue for minorities in the United States. "If we're going to have a hearing on white supremacy, we are assuming that the biggest victims of that are minority Americans," Owens said Friday before the House Oversight Joint Subcommittee. "And presumably this hearing would be to stop that and preserve the lives of minority Americans, which based on the hierarchy of what's impacting minority Americans, if I had to make a list of 100 things, white nationalism would not make the list," she said. Owens, 30, said black-on-black crime and the war on masculinity were two issues more important to black Americans than white supremacy. More  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| California judge blocks state law meant to force Trump to disclose his tax returns Posted: 21 Sep 2019 09:00 AM PDT A federal judge in Sacramento issued a temporary injunction against a new state law that was intended to force Trump to disclose his tax returns in order to run for reelection in 2020. California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the law, SB 27, in July that requires any person running for president to disclose five years of income tax returns to secure a spot on the state primary ballot. "These are extraordinary times and states have a legal and moral duty to do everything in their power to ensure leaders seeking the highest offices meet minimal standards, and to restore public confidence," Newsom said at the time. U.S. District Judge Morrison C. England Jr. felt differently. Ruling from the bench on Thursday, England said the new law would cause "irreparable harm without temporary relief" not only to Trump but to many other presidential candidates.

| Pentagon sending 'defensive' troops and missiles to Saudi Arabia after Iranian oil attack Posted: 21 Sep 2019 08:30 AM PDT The Pentagon is sending additional troops and missiles to Saudi Arabia in response to Iran's attack on Saudi oil facilities last weekend. "The president has approved the deployment of U.S. forces, which are primarily defensive in nature and primarily focused on air and missile defense," Defense Secretary Mark Esper said in a surprise briefing Friday night. "We will also work to accelerate the delivery of military equipment to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the UAE to enhance their ability to defend themselves." "We are contributing to Saudi Arabia's defense. We would be looking, as the secretary said, for other international partners to also contribute to Saudi Arabia's defense," Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford added. More  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 21 Sep 2019 08:00 AM PDT Recall this infamous hot-mic assurance from Barack Obama to then-Russian President Dmitri Medvedev that he would surrender NATO's plans for anti-ballistic missile defense in Poland: "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense … this can be solved, but it's important for [incoming Russian President Vladimir Putin] to give me space. This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility." The mainstream media treated it with little more than a ho hum of a shrug and moved on. After all, it was an election year and Obama was their preferred candidate. Never mind the fact that Obama was colluding about U.S. defense systems with the leader of one of our biggest geopolitical foes, Russia. Fast-forward to Wednesday when The Washington Post reported that an intelligence officer filed a whistleblower complaint against President Donald Trump alleging that he had made a "promise" to a foreign official that was "troubling." Just who the foreign official was and what was promised is not known. However, it may be that the foreign official in question was Ukraine's new president, Volodymyr Zelensky, who Trump had a phone conversation with two and a half weeks prior to the whistleblower complaint. Much of the mainstream media speculate's that Trump was seeking to press Ukraine's president into reinitiating a sidelined investigation into alleged illegal activity by Hunter Biden, son of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden. This speculation seemed to gain legitimacy after Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani commented on social media, "A President telling a Pres-elect of a well known corrupt country he better investigate corruption that affects US is doing his job. Maybe if Obama did that the Biden Family wouldn't have bilked millions from Ukraine and billions from China; being covered up by a Corrupt Media." More  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Charles Barkley: Dems Only Talk To Blacks Every 4 Years When They Want Their Vote Posted: 21 Sep 2019 07:00 AM PDT On Wednesday, speaking on Michael Smerconish's SiriusXM radio show, NBA Hall Of Famer Charles Barkley, in his inimitably blunt style, said Democrats only talk to black Americans when they want their votes. As Mediaite reported, Barkley was reminiscing about his work with Alabama Sen. Doug Jones when Jones ran against GOP candidate Roy Moore in a special election in 2017. Barkley recalled, "I said 'Doug, I'm going to support you. I'm going to try to get every black person in Alabama to vote for you.' And it worked out. We won for the first time in 40 years. But I said, 'We need to start holding you Democrats accountable' because they've been taking black people's votes – and they only talk to black people every four years. All of these politicians only talk to black people every four years because they want their vote." More  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 'Slave master': Top Democratic donor allegedly raped and drugged gay black men Posted: 21 Sep 2019 06:30 AM PDT A criminal complaint by federal investigators against Edward Buck outlines claims of a history of predatory behavior against gay men by the LGBT activist and Democratic megadonor, resulting in rape, drug overdoses, and even deaths. Although Buck is currently only being charged with distribution of methamphetamine resulting in death, the 20-page filing by authorities describes numerous instances of vulnerable gay men, many black, who found themselves drugged against their will and sodomized. Most of the nine men who spoke to investigators say they were initially lured to Buck's residence on promises of money and free drugs. Many of the victims were prostitutes. In the last two years, two men have died in Buck's residence of a drug overdose. More  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Trump taps Clinton, Obama precedent on whistleblower executive privilege Posted: 21 Sep 2019 05:00 AM PDT A top House Democrat accused the administration Thursday of stonewalling a probe into a national security whistleblower's complaint against President Trump by raising executive privilege, but Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama also insisted on the right to privilege in such cases. Emerging from a three-hour, closed-door briefing with an inspector general, Rep. Adam B. Schiff, California Democrat and chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said the Justice Department is shielding the White House by barring disclosure of details about the whistleblower's complaint. "This shows someone is trying to manipulate the system to keep information about an urgent matter from the Congress," Mr. Schiff told reporters. "There is no privilege that covers whether the White House is involved and trying to stifle a whistleblower complaint. There's no privilege to be corrupt." Mr. Schiff is demanding that the administration turn over the complaint, which reportedly says the president made an unspecified "promise" to an unspecified foreign head of state during a phone conversation sometime this summer. Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson deemed the complaint credible and of "urgent concern," turning heads on Capitol Hill. Mr. Trump on Thursday rejected accusations that he made an inappropriate promise to a foreign leader. He said he wouldn't be "dumb enough" to take such action while other officials were monitoring his phone conversations. More  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 21 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson is defending himself after coming under fire for remarks he made about transgender people, calling the media reports on his comments "blatant mischaracterizations." In an agencywide email late Friday afternoon, Carson admitted he expressed concern about "big, hairy men" trying to use women's restrooms but added that his comments were taken out of context. "During a recent meeting with local staff in San Francisco, I made reference to the fact that I had heard from many women's groups about the difficulty they were having with women's shelters because sometimes men would claim to be women," he wrote. "This made many of the women feel unsafe, and one of the groups described a situation to me in which 'big hairy men' would come in and have to be accepted into the women's shelter even though it made the women in the facility very uncomfortable." He continued, "My point was that we have to permit policies that take into consideration the rights of everybody, including those women." More  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
