BREAKING: Governor Bentley has done it again!
*THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 2018The man refuses to stop:* On Monday evening, Rachel Maddow provided a valuable service. She played videotape which had been smuggled out of a New York City facility where young immigrant children were being held away from their mothers. The tape was brief; it involved one child. But that trembling little girl was maybe five years old, and the deeply piteous videotape made an important point about what has been done by our federal government. Last night, thanks to Governor Bentley, Maddow was forced to travel a lower road. As she began her eponymous TV sho... more »
The Oil Weapon Trump Tightens Iran Stranglehold
President Trump has informed Washington's allies that they must cease purchasing Iranian oil by November. He is also trying to force/intimidate European countries into joining, *de facto*, a return to prior US sanctions on Iran. The goal seems clear: push regime change in Iran through economic strangulation. The Europeans may well go along, but will Russia and China? Turkey? Tune in to today's Liberty Report:
Did Sen. Warner and Comey ‘Collude’ on Russia-gate?
[image: undefined] An explosive report by investigative journalist John Solomon on the opinion page of Monday’s edition of *The Hill* sheds a bright light on how Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) and then-FBI Director James Comey collaborated to prevent WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange from discussing “technical evidence ruling out certain parties [read Russia]” in the controversial leak of Democratic Party emails to WikiLeaks during the 2016 election. A deal that was being discussed last year between Assange and U.S. government officials would have given Assange “limited immunity” to allow h... more »
That Time the Media Cheered for Gestapo Immigration Tactics
[image: undefined] Every Trump voter is effectively "standing at the border, like Nazis, going 'you here, you here,'" MSNBC guest Danny Deutsch declared on Friday. Former CIA Director Michael Hayden also compared the Trump administration's immigration crackdown with Nazi concentration camps. The media is showcasing the anguish of parents and children forcibly separated at the southwestern border. Eighteen years ago, the media had a mirror-image reaction to perhaps the most famous immigration raid in American history. Though some critics back then complained of Gestapo-like federal ... more »

BREAKING: Abramson hammers the New York Times!
*THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 2018"Narcissistic," she says:* Bowing to international pressure, Jill Abramson has decided play on our team. Abramson was executive editor of the New York Times in a three-year stint which ended in 2014. As Lloyd Grove reports at The Daily Beast, she has come down hard on the Times' recent conduct—and on its "narcissism." In a recent tweet, Abramson scalded the Times for failing to cover the recent (winning) House campaign of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She expanded on her views in an email to Grove. In part, the email said this: ABRAMSON: *I’m feeling about the ... more »

Cow Finds New Family in Herd of Deer After Escaping Slaughterhouse
A herd of deer in upstate New York accepted a lost cow as part of their family after the young bovine escaped from a slaughterhouse. Bonnie the cow was born about a year ago at a farm in Holland, N.Y., that raises cattle for beef. She made her escape at just 4 months old. According to non-profit Farm Sanctuary, Bonnie fled into the woods as the other cattle were being corralled into trailers after the herd was sold. The community attempted for months to track Bonnie down, expecting that a calf like her would not survive very long in the woods. Eventually, wildlife cameras captur... more »

TRUMP DOESN'T HAVE TO GET POPULISM RIGHT BECAUSE HIS BASE DOESN'T WANT POPULISM
I've addressed this subject before, but it keeps coming up: President Trump ... once again railed against the “elite” at a campaign rally in Fargo, N.D., echoing comments he made last week at a rally in Minnesota. “I hate it, I meet these people, they call it the elite,” Trump said Wednesday night. “We got more money, we got more brains, we got better houses and apartments, we got nicer boats, we’re smarter than they are and they say they’re the elite,” the president said. “You’re the elite, we’re the elite.” Trump went on to call the elite “stone cold losers.” “Let’s call ourselv... more »

Iran Orders Reopening Of Nuclear Plant To Step Up Enrichment
*Reuters: **Iran reopens uranium feedstock plant in preparation to boost enrichment* LONDON (Reuters) - Iran has reopened a nuclear plant idle for nine years, its atomic energy agency (AEOI) said on Wednesday, as Tehran prepares to increase uranium enrichment capacity if a nuclear deal with world powers falls apart after the U.S. withdrawal. U.S.-Iranian tensions have resurged since President Donald Trump pulled Washington out of the 2015 nuclear accord, calling it deeply flawed. Under the deal, Iran restricted its enrichment program to ease concerns it could not be put to develo... more »
"Constitutional Super Hardball"
I'm no expert when it comes to matters of Senate procedure, but one thought suggested to me by a learned friend after we heard yesterday that Justice Kennedy was retiring is that Democrats do have a "Trump" card, so to speak, that they could play to prevent Trump from filling Justice Kennedy's seat before the midterms. I speak of U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 5, Clause 1, which provides: Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members, and *a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business*; but a smaller Number may ... more »
Duke visits Jerusalem's sacred sites per the BBC who omit some key facts
This BBC report https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44640028 omits some key information from its report on the Duke of Cambridge's visit to Jerusalem. 'Also on his itinerary was the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif, a site that is sacred to Jews and Muslims. He then went to the adjacent Western Wall, the holiest site where Jews are permitted to pray.' So there's a holier site for Jews but Jews not permitted to pray there, how can this be? Because Israel allows the Muslim authorities to control the holiest site in Judaism, these people ban Jews from praying there, so much for Jews ethically... more »
