For a candidate trying to figure out when to announce a run for the presidency, the FBI search might actually help.

Actor Diego Luna lead a group of Latino television and movie stars who spoke out against what they describe as the “cruelty” of President Donald Trump and his Administration’s enforcement of a policy regarding the separation of immigrant families at the border during the National Association of Latino Independent Producers’ Latino Media Awards. The Rogue One: A Star Wars Story star spoke Saturday at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Hollywood about how he feels it’s the duty of Latino artists to bring stories about separated children at the border to light. “What’s been in happening in this country these last few days, this cruelty cannot be accepted or tolerated,” Luna said . “We have to remind ourselves that we are the ones telling our stories, so we have to be telling the stories of the invisible so they can be visible.” Contrary to Luna’s statement that the border controversy over separated families has been raging for the “last few days,” the current crisis can be traced … [Read more...] about ‘Star Wars’ Star Diego Luna: Trump’s ‘Cruelty Cannot Be Accepted or Tolerated’

The FBI 's raid of Donald Trump Mar-a-Lago home has sparked theories involving the release of texts by far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones . The former President confirmed that FBI agents had searched his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday. He released a statement condemning the act and said "nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before." It is not yet entirely clear the reason for the federal law enforcement's raid on Trump's home. However, it follows months of speculation that federal prosecutors had turned their attention to his actions regarding the riots that occurred on January 6. This raid comes after two years' worth of text message sent and received by Jones were turned over the House select committee investigating the January 6 riots. The text messages were handed over to the committee by Mark Bankston, who represented two Sandy Hook parents who successfully sued Jones in Texas and won almost $50 … [Read more...] about Trump raid hours after Alex Jones texts reportedly filed sparks theories

“Wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing,” then-presidential candidate Donald Trump mused in August, “if we actually got along with Russia and worked out some kind of deal where we go and knock the hell out of ISIS along with NATO and along with the countries that are in that area?” At other times, however, Trump publicly imagined himself engaged in a very different NATO initiative. Under this scenario, he would denounce America’s European allies as freeloaders and force them to accept a deal requiring them to pay a much bigger share of the alliance’s defense burden. On first glance, these two initiatives don’t seem mutually exclusive, and Trump will be tempted to pursue both of them once he becomes president. But he’ll soon discover that he can’t have it both ways, and it is all too likely that his partnership with Russian President Vladimir Putin will lead to the dramatic weakening of NATO. To see the risks involved, suppose that Trump follows through on his idea of joining Putin in an … [Read more...] about What Happens to NATO Now?

Infowars founder Alex Jones was hit with a double bombshell recently, as he faced the families of Sandy Hook victims suing him for defamation. Jones was ordered to pay to one of the families $4.1 million in damages and another $45.2 million in punitive damages , with additional fines and fees taking the total over $50 million. In a second blow to Jones, it was revealed that two years' worth of text messages from his phone were shared, apparently by accident, with the defense lawyer Mark Bankston. The messages were said to have been sent within the past two years and, according to Banton, the January 6 Select committee is reportedly preparing to subpoena them . It could prove damaging to Jones, who claimed he pleaded the 5th "almost 100 times" when he spoke to the committee. But now that his messages have been requested by investigators, there could be significant repercussions for the conspiracy theorist and those who have associated with him. So, what could be the … [Read more...] about Alex Jones, January 6 and Text Messages—What We Do Know, What We Don’t

Amid reports that former President Donald Trump took various White House items to his home in Mar-A-Lago, former first lady Hillary Clinton also left the White House with permanent artifacts but never faced any consequences. In 2015, Breitbart News noted that former President Bill Clinton and his wife departed in 2001 with a spree of lavish gifts, but also took home property from the permanent White House collection. According to Sally Bedell Smith’s book For Love Of Politics , written in 2007: [The Clintons’] financial-disclosure forms revealed that they walked away with $190,027 worth of furniture, china, flatware, art, and other gifts, nearly half of it acquired in their final year.

Establishment Republicans are trying to save Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from defeat in the highly contested August 16 GOP primary by deploying last-ditch tactics to stave off a Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman victory. While Hageman is ahead in the polls and predicted to win by a large margin, big-money donors and grassroots organizers from the establishment uniparty are working to rescue Cheney’s campaign, Axios reported . That campaign  has been in a downward spiral since she allied herself with the partisan January 6 Committee. Those involved in defending Cheney are reportedly Jeff Larson, chairman of America Rising, Julia Griswold Dailer, a former Trump White House aide, Wyomingites Defending Freedom and Democracy (WDFD), and Conservatives for a Strong America (CFSA). WDFD is focused on publishing digital and TV ads that push Democrats to vote for Cheney in the open Republican primary, a tactic that has also been deployed by Cheney’s own campaign but which Joseph Barbuto, the … [Read more...] about Establishment Uniparty Deploys Last-Ditch Tactics to Save Liz Cheney
