FBI Director Just Confirmed Major News About Trump And Russia
FBI Director James Comey took center stage. He testified to the House Intelligence Committee about the FBI probe into the alleged Russian meddling of the 2016 election. And he confirmed major news about Trump and his connections to Russia. Representative Chris Stewart of Utah questioned Comey regarding statements made by former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Clapper said he saw no evidence of collusion between Trump campaign officials and the Russians. Stewart asked Director Comey if Clapper was wrong in his assessment. Comey replied that Clapper’s assessment was correct. The FBI Director was confirming major news about Trump and Russia. And the White House quickly tweeted out a video of the exchange.
Stewart tried to refocus the hearing based on facts. However, the media’s big takeaway was the existence of an FBI probe into Russia’s election related activities, which also included investigating possible links to the Trump campaign. But Comey did not say they are investigating links. They are investigating whether links exist. But as Stewart pointed out – there is no such evidence at this time. Comey also said they don’t comment on investigations because it might smear people involved. Yet, the existence of an investigation does not prove the existence of wrongdoing. The Washington Post reports on the transcript of Comey’s exchange with Representative Stewart:
“I have a list of questions here but I want to divert a little bit and — and follow up on some of things that have been said here today. Mr. Comey, you confirmed that there’s an investigation in the Trump campaign officials. The fact that there is an open investigation does not indicate guilt though, does it? COMEY: Certainly not. STEWART: And in fact many times in an investigation may find that there is no wrongdoing. COMEY: That’s one of the reasons we don’t talk about it, so we don’t smear people who don’t end up charged with anything.”
The media is trying to bury the real news from this hearing. Which is that the FBI Director testified – under oath – and agrees with the assessment made that, so far, there is no evidence of any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
‘Hunt & Kill All White Women’ Facebook Post Deemed Not Hate Speech Shocking double standard of social network giant exposed yet again Paul Joseph Watson | Infowars.com - March 24, 2017
The way in which Facebook polices content on its network is under scrutiny again after it was revealed that a post in which a user called for white women to be “hunted and killed” was deemed to not be a violation of community standards.
“White women should be hunted and killed then we won’t get white babies who think the(y) own the world,” the user posted.
When the post was reported by another user for “hate speech,” Facebook responded with the message, “We reviewed the comment you reported for displaying hate speech and found it doesn’t violate our Community Standards.”
Meanwhile, posts by Christians that simply state bible passages in discussions about homosexuality are being removed, while pages devoted to showing grisly mock images of President Trump being assassinated are not taken down.
The social networking giant has also received criticism for several recent incidents during which rapes of women have been been live video streamed on the platform.
Facebook also refused to remove the infamous video where a mentally disabled man was tortured by a group of young black men when it was reported.
It seems that Facebook is too busy complying with threats to remove so-called “fake news” to deal with actual examples of hate speech and violence.
Flags for so-called fake news which cite Snopes – a far-left partisan outfit – as an independent fact checker, are already appearing when users attempt to post links to certain stories.
This is now appearing on Facebook posts. Snopes is a bias, far-left outfit. It is not a responsible "fact-checker". pic.twitter.com/IMB0RVJklz
Facebook also began recently declaring Infowars posts to be “spam” and deleting them from public view, although this appears to have been remedied for the time being.
Amazing. Virtually every link I post on Facebook is now being labelled "spam".
Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly is flaming mad at how the mainstream media treated the case of the two immigrant teens. One of them is in the U.S. illegally and was accused of raping a Maryland high school student.
“ABC, NBC, CBS did not cover it on their nightly news broadcasts,” O’Reilly said in his “Talking Points Memo.” “CNN did not cover the Maryland story in primetime last night. Ditto MSNBC. That is beyond anything I have ever seen in my 40 years-plus of journalism.”
“We all know why,” O’Reilly said. “Illegal immigration is a political issue.”
Advertisem
O’ Reilly then warned that “many Americans now have had enough of illegal immigration.” He is right. We the people are tired of these lies from our politicians.
“[There] comes a time when citizens of any country have to demand justice, have to demand protection, demand the law be respected,” O’Reilly said. “We have not, have not, come to that time yet in America.”

Trump Slams His Own Supreme Court Nominee: 'I'll Criticize Judges'
President Donald Trump appeared to slam his own Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch in a speech to Republicans, Mediaite is reporting. During confirmation hearings, Gorsuch said he was not comfortable with presidential attacks against federal judges, according to the website. "When anyone criticizes the honesty, the integrity, the motives of a federal judge, well, I find that disheartening, I find that demoralizing," he said. But in his speech at the National Republican Congressional Committee dinner, Trump said he will continue to criticize judges. "The courts are not helping us, I have to be honest with you," Trump said. "It's ridiculous. Somebody said I should not criticize judges. OK, I'll criticize judges."
RINO Senator Ponders Trump Impeachment 03/21/2017 Source: American Action News by: AAN Staf
We're used to hearing unhinged liberals talk about impeaching the president of the United States. We're not used to hearing Republicans talk about it.
Of course, Lindey Graham isn't much of a Republican. The neoconsevative, "invade the world/invite the world" throwback bachelor from South Carolina is clearly no fan of the president, and during hearings for Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, he tossed up an interesting hypothetical about whether or not the president is "above the law." As Bob Unruh notes:
That line surfaced several times during the course of the questions, including once when Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a longtime member of the GOP elite in Washington, raised the question of impeaching Trump.
“In case President Trump is watching, which he may very well be, one you did a good job picking Judge Gorsuch,” Graham said, “No. 2 … if you start waterboarding people, you may get impeached. Is that a fair summary?”
Gorsuch said the power of impeachment belongs to the U.S. Senate.
“That’s even better,” Graham replied. “Would he be subject to prosecution?”
“Senator, I’m not going to speculate,” Gorsuch responded.
“But he’s not above the law,” Graham replied.
“No man is above the law,” Gorsuch said. “No man.”
We applaud future Justice Gorsuch's commitment to the rule of law, but we can't say the same about Senator Graham. Does this man ever miss a chance to undermine conservatives in his own party?
Anti-gun senator mocked for lying about suppressors By Katie
Like most gun-hating liberals, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) has no idea what she’s talking about. Last week, Gillibrand tweeted that suppressors — which anti-gun liberals like to call “silencers” — are dangerous because they “make it hard for police to solve gun crimes”:
Kirsten Gillibrand
✔@SenGillibrand
When someone gets shot by a gun with a silencer, it's quiet. Witnesses might not hear. Police will be less likely to track down the shooter.
How can we end violence in our communities if criminals can get easy access to equipment that'd make it hard for police to solve gun crimes?
There’s so much incorrect with Gillibrand’s fearmongering that it’s hard to begin picking it apart, but let’s start with the fact that suppressors don’t silence gun shots. Per The Federalist’s Sean Davis (via Hot Air):
A decent suppressor for an AR-15 (.223/5.56mm) can reduce the sound of that rifle being fired by 30-35 dB. Thus, a quality suppressor can turn what would’ve been a 165 dB, eardrum-bursting gunshot into a mere 135 dB gunshot — roughly the same volume as a jackhammer you might see a construction worker using. Remember that pain and permanent hearing damage begins at 140 dB.
If that’s not proof enough, here’s a nice little video explaining how suppressors work:
Furthermore, as clearly seen in the video, suppressors make guns much heavier and harder to conceal. Which is probably why just .003 percent of the 1.3 million silencers registered in the U.S. are used in crimes each year. In other words, criminals aren’t running around committing crimes with suppressors. And even if they were, they wouldn’t make it any harder for police to solve gun crimes. Suppressors dampen sound, not ballistics and forensics. For her sake, I hope Gillibrand isn’t so dumb that she actually believes what she tweeted. For America’s sake, I’m glad the NRA exists to protect the Second Amendment from morons like Gillibrand.
