Mark Penn And Doug Schoen Scratch Trump's Back!

Mark Penn is a Trump supporter. He once ran Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign. He is currently advising Donald Trump on how to avoid prosecution.

Mark Penn, a former pollster for Hillary Clinton is an adviser to that imbecile Donald J. Trump. The Fox News "Democrats" are being exposed as Trumpers.

Almost thirty years ago, Trump hired Penn to do some research on residents of a neighborhood he wanted to develop one of his properties on.

He was bashing the Blue Wave. The pollster was a leading voice against the Democratic leadership appointing Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House again.

Penn is a sharp critic of Robert Mueller's investigation into Trump and Russia.

Penn wrote some piece for The Hill blasting Democrats for the mere thought of impeachment. The piece was picked up by The Drudge Report, Breitbart and soon found a place in Fox News programming. Then of course, Trump praised the Penn piece.

It was revealed by The Daily Beast, Mark Penn and Democratic pollster Doug Schoen were advising Trump from the very start.

So it was a deliberate attempt and a move to undermine the Blue Wave.

The two often appear on Tucker Carlson, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Fox & Friends, three programs that Trump watches.

Not once Penn or Schoen mentioned their ties to Trump.

Penn's columns in The Hill routinely attack the president's political and legal adversaries. In his most recent column, published last Monday, Penn went after federal prosecutors in New York and Washington who have targeted the president and his associates.

But neither that column nor any other he's written has revealed Penn's past business ties to Trump. Nor has that biographical detail been mentioned in the frequent TV appearances he's made on Fox News, in which he often attacks the president's critics. The Hill did not return a request for comment and Fox News declined to comment.

Instead, it is Penn's time working on behalf of President Bill Clinton during the Ken Starr investigations that is offered as proof that he brings not only an unbiased take on the current political debates, but the experience of someone who worked on the other side of the ledger.

The disclosure on his columns in The Hill, where he has published numerous pieces going after Special Counsel Robert Mueller, notes that "He served as pollster and adviser to President Clinton from 1995 to 2000, including during Clinton's impeachment." A Politico Magazine profile noted that Penn was "a member of a small club of Democrats in Washington shaped by Whitewater and the independent counsel investigation it spawned." A June 2018 Wall Street Journal column that focused on Penn's outspoken criticism of the federal investigation into Russian election meddling, was headlined, "A Democrat Dissents on the Mueller Probe." In an Aug. 24 Fox Business interview, host Maria Bartiromo called Penn a "straight shooter" who "used to work for the Clintons."

Doug Schoen is a fixture on Sean "Softball" Hanntiy's right wing carnival.

In an email statement to The Daily Beast, Penn said that there is a reason his past relationship with Trump has not been revealed in his various media appearances. It’s because it wasn’t really a relationship at all.

"Thirty years ago, [my partner] Doug Schoen brought in Trump and the Trump organization as a minor client to a firm neither of us has been associated with for nearly a decade. I never met his then client, Donald Trump, and, as I recall, Schoen had trouble collecting payment for his work, and had to settle largely for shuttle tickets that then became worthless," Penn said. "Resurfacing this old news is a off-base attempt to find some irrelevant link from 30 years ago to work I didn’t do for a firm I’m no longer with, and that is not in any way related to my positions against independent counsels or as a moderate Democrat that have been consistent for over 40 years."

"If you have to go back some 30 years to try to find some link, that’s because there is none," he added. "I have no relationship with Donald Trump nor the Trump Organization."

Penn & Schoen's history with Trump does extend beyond the brief consideration of the world's largest building. According to Gwenda Blair's book, Donald Trump: The Candidate, Trump had the firm, which is no longer in existence, conduct polling for him as he contemplated making a run for the presidency in 1988. Blair wrote that the firm found Trump with a 75 percent name recognition among likely Republican voters. Reached for comment, Blair said she didn't have access to the survey. But a former member of the Penn & Schoen team confirmed it was done.

Feds Search For Murderer Who Skipped Town Nearly 50 Years Ago!

Ohio killer is still on the loose.

The U.S. Marshals are searching for an Ohio fugitive who skipped bail in 1973.

The Marshals are looking for Lester Eubanks.

On December 1965, Eubanks strolled into a shopping center and decided to abduct, rape and kill a 14 year old girl while living in Mansfield, Ohio. The victim was Mary Ellen Deneer, a 14 year old girl who was going to school. She was bludgeoned to death. He returned back to see her gasping for breath. Then he decided to smash a brick into her head.

In December 1973, Eubanks was allowed to stroll unescorted into a shopping center in Columbus.

“The U.S. Marshals are not deterred by the passage of time when it comes to cases like this one,” U.S. Marshal Peter Elliott of the Northern District of Ohio said in a statement. “We are fueled by one thing, and that is justice for 14-year-old Mary Ellen Deener of Mansfield, Ohio, the innocent victim in this case.”

On May 25, 1966, a jury found Eubanks guilty of the crimes and sentenced him to death. In 1972, Eubanks’ death sentence was commuted to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The U.S. Marshals gave America a portrait of a killer.

Eubanks, who would now be 75, is believed to be alive and living under an alias, according to the agency.

Investigative leads over the years have placed him in Michigan and California, and officials said his whereabouts remain a mystery. A reward of up to $25,000 is available for information leading to his arrest.

Deputy U.S. Marshal David Siler said that Eubanks may have changed his appearance, used aliases and even started a new life.

“He literally could be hiding in plain sight,” Siler said. “This is why we are asking citizens to be vigilant and contact us with any information they believe will help us apprehend him.”

Eubanks is described by officials as a 5 foot, 11 inches tall black male with black hair and brown eyes. He also has a mole under his left eye.

At the time of his disappearance in 1973, he weighed approximately 175 pounds. Eubanks may be using the alias “Victor Young,” according to federal officials.

Anyone with information on Eubanks or his possible whereabouts is urged to contact the nearest U.S. Marshals office or the U.S. Marshals Service Communications Center at 1-800-336-0102.

Russia Ain't Rapping Much!

Russian rapper Husky is being targeted by Russian operatives and Vladimir Putin.

Russian Federation president Vladimir Putin said that hip-hop music must be "lead and directed" in a fiery speech in St. Petersburg.

The explosion of rap music in Russia spurred President Vladimir Putin to call for cultural leaders on Saturday to devise a means of controlling its role for youth culture instead of an outright ban, saying it otherwise will lead to the decay of the nation.

The Russian leader made the comments during a meeting in St. Petersburg, where he told cultural leaders that they must come up with a means to "lead it and direct it," according to Sky News.

Putin noted that "rap is based on three pillars: sex, drugs and protest." But he is particularly concerned with drug themes prevalent in rap, saying "this is a path to the degradation of the nation."

He added that "drug propaganda" is believed to be worse than cursing.

Putin instructed the Kremlin to put a halt to hip-hop music. He is working on shutting the music genre down.

This was in regards to popular Russian rapper Husky (born Ulan-Ude).

The most powerful leader in the world is Vladimir Putin.

Husky, who raps in Russian and whose songs have been critical of the government, was arrested last month and imprisoned for 12 days before a massive outcry led to his release, according to Reuters.

The 25-year-old claimed his concerts were canceled because officials objected to his lyrics, which focus on poverty, corruption and police brutality. After a concert was canceled on Nov. 21, he tried to perform on the roof of a car while surrounded by hundreds of fans before he was taken away by police.

On Nov. 30, rapper Gone.Fludd announced two concert cancellations, citing pressure from "every police agency you can imagine," while the popular hip hop artist Allj cancelled his show in the Arctic city of Yakutsk after receiving threats of violence.

The Russian leader on Saturday said that taking a heavy-handed approach to quell rap music is unproductive, and said the country would be better to take an alternative approach.

“If it’s impossible to stop something, you’ve got to take charge of it," he said.

Federal Judge Rules Obamacare Unconstitutional!

Trump and his minions are trying to destroy the Affordable Care Act.

Today is the final days of enrollment and of course, people weren't notified as much. Obviously, Republicans have sabotage the efforts to get people insured.

The Affordable Care Act once again comes into the courtroom. A far right U.S. federal judge from Texas called the ACA (aka Obamacare) unconstitutional.

The ruling could strip millions of Americans from finding quality healthcare.

Reed O'Conner, is a U.S. Federal District Judge who was picked by George W. Bush in 2007 decided to undermine millions of Americans who depend on affordable health care.

Judge Reed O'Connor of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas issued the opinion in a lawsuit brought in February by Republican officials in 20 states led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Those officials contended that the entire law should be stricken because Congress earlier this year repealed the fines known as "shared responsibility payments" that people without health coverage had to pay under the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate. O'Connor agreed.

He ruled the ACA unconstitutional because the individual mandate was "no longer fairly read as an exercise of Congress's Tax Power and is still impermissible under the Intersate Commerce Clause --- meaning the Individual Mandate is unconstitutional.

Donald J. Trump hailed the decision as a victory.

As I predicted all along, Obamacare has been struck down as an UNCONSTITUTIONAL disaster! Now Congress must pass a STRONG law that provides GREAT healthcare and protects pre-existing conditions. Mitch and Nancy, get it done!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 15, 2018

Wow, but not surprisingly, ObamaCare was just ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL by a highly respected judge in Texas. Great news for America!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 15, 2018

If the ruling stands, the Affordable Care Act's insurance regulations would disappear and, along with them, the health coverage for millions of people who gained private insurance or Medicaid coverage under the 2010 law signed by President Barack Obama. Specifically, the law's guarantee of coverage for people regardless of their pre-existing conditions, financial assistance for private insurance, rules establishing a basic minimum set of benefits insurance policies must cover and more would vanish. Since O'Connor's ruling throws out the entire statute, the rest of the ACA, such as its expansion of Medicaid to low-income adults, also is stricken.

Bush appointed judge is a racist.

In short, this ruling would deal severe damage to the American health care system. It also would eradicate one of Obama's most significant accomplishments. According to an analysis by the Urban Institute, eliminating the Affordable Care Act would increase the national uninsured rate by 50 percent and lead to more than 17 million people losing health coverage.

Are you motivated to vote in 2019 and 2020?

Cause I am.

I've had enough of the bullshit from Republicans and conservatives. I had enough of Donald J. Trump. Let's keep the pressure on advertisers of conservative agitators. Let's keep the pressure on lawmakers by showing up to town halls. Don't let the lawmakers sleep. Keep them awake knowing that we're going to oust them from power if they mess with progress.

O'Connor can suck one......

This is why the Senate is important. Trump can pick unqualified judges to hold the bench for years.

White male privilege would stand for a generation.

Enough is enough.

The Weekly Standard Folds!

Longtime conservative publication The Weekly Standard will cease publication after 23 years.

The owner of the Standard, Clarity Media Group announced on Friday that the magazine will print its final issue on December 17.

Stephen Hayes, met privately with Ryan McKibben, the chairman of Clarity Media Group to announce the magazine is closing down. The media group is owned by Philip Anschutz.

It was created by neoconservative and anti-Trump activist Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes.

It was founded as the "redoubt of neoconservatism" and dubbed the "neo-con bible."

Donald J. Trump decided to dance on the grave of the publication by taking a cheap shot at Kristol.

The pathetic and dishonest Weekly Standard, run by failed prognosticator Bill Kristol (who, like many others, never had a clue), is flat broke and out of business. Too bad. May it rest in peace!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 15, 2018

The Standard was highly critical of Trump.

For years, The Weekly Standard published articles form prominent conservative intellectuals who offered a clear look upon American policy and global affairs.

Mind you these people claim to be intellectuals.

All good things come to an end. And so, after 23 years, does The Weekly Standard. I want to express my gratitude to our readers and my admiration for my colleagues. We worked hard to put out a quality magazine, and we had a good time doing so. And we have much more to do. Onward!

— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) December 14, 2018

@ me next time https://t.co/jIid2PgyLU

The Standard was very prominent during the George W. Bush era. They encouraged him to engage in the War in Afghanistan and War in Iraq.

Bush and Dick Cheney were both fans of The Weekly Standard.

The Standard was intially published by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation before being sold to Clarity in 2009.

Employees were also told to clear out their desks by the end of the day. People familiar with the matter said that the email addresses of employees were already in the process of being shut off.

The Weekly Standard thanks those who read their publication and ended the weekend with a series of tweets to remind Americans that a voice still exist.

Ryan Zinke Fired Out The Cannon!

Ryan Zinke is out. He is the big doofus wearing the boy scout outfit. The Interior Secretary is fired out the cannon after numerous scandals plagued his leadership. Donald Trump, Zinke and Rick "Oops" Perry.

Another disgraceful member of Donald J. Trump's cabinet is on his way out. His ass is going to be shot through the tent. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is gone by the end of the month.

His legacy as head of the Department of Interior was marked with controversy.

Trump announced his cannon firing on social media.

Secretary of the Interior @RyanZinke will be leaving the Administration at the end of the year after having served for a period of almost two years. Ryan has accomplished much during his tenure and I want to thank him for his service to our Nation.......

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 15, 2018

.......The Trump Administration will be announcing the new Secretary of the Interior next week.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 15, 2018

The departure comes amid multiple ethics investigations into Zinke.

The Justice Department is investigating Zinke for possibly using his office for personal gain following a referral from the Interior Department's inspector general.

Zinke was loyal to the Trump agenda. He pulled back Barack Obama-era regulations and eliminated protected lands grants.

As Department of Interior Secretary, Zinke opened more federal lands to oil, gas and mineral exploration and extraction. He was getting paid really well from the lobbyists. He also rollback regulations that made trophy hunting legal.

Donald Trump, Jr. and Eric Trump love him.

Many hunters were going overseas to poach and kill endangered species for thrills. Thank Ryan Zinke for allowing it to happen.

Zinke is the latest of many controversial picks forced out by scandal.

The White House did not immediately respond to the junk food media. The announcement comes a day after Trump picked White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney as his temporary chief of staff.

Ryan Zinke was no friend to nature.

John Kelly was fired out the cannon as Chief of Staff. He will be leaving the White House at the end of the year.

Zinke before was a Montana state lawmaker, a radio talk show host, U.S. Navy Seal and college football player. He is also an Eagle Scout for the Scouts of America.

He is a kookspiracy nut and racist.

Zinke was a U.S. Representative from Montana for one term. He won reelection and immediately left when Trump appointed him as the Interior Secretary. He was succeeded by Greg Gianforte, a controversial activist and businessman who attacked a journalist last year.

Bald Move, Scott Walker!

Outgoing Scott Walker undermines incoming Tony Evers.

The Republican Party is the party of the white man. The Republican Party's platform is basically racism, stupidity, nationalism, homophobes, Islamophobes, climate change deniers, whataboutism, kookspiracies, and outright meanness.

The party that gave you a mentally unstable leader named Donald J. Trump.

Wisconsin governor Scott Walker decided to sign off legislation that would limit powers to incoming governor Tony Evers.

This is a bold move for Republicans. They decided to pass controversial legislation that would limit powers to the governor, secretary of state and attorney general.

Walker who bucked the notion claim that this has law will "do nothing to fundamentally diminish executive authority. The bottom line is the new govenror will continue to be one of the most powerful chief executives in the country."

The legislation is designed to effectively prevent Evers and attorney general elect Josh Kaul from delivering on their campaign promises, including one bill that would require permission from the state legislature before the state's executive branch could make waivers or changes to public assistance programs, including the work and drug testing requirements for "able body" individuals.

The Republicans decided to pass this in an attempt to undermine the voters.

House Speaker Robin Vos admitted that he wanted to undermine "a very liberal governor who is going to enact policies that are in direct contrast to what many of us believe in."

The bill also reduces early voting days and gives state legislature the right to make decisions on whether they say or remove themselves from multi-state lawsuits.

Tony Evers vows to go to war with Republicans.

Evers plans on taking the matter in federal court as soon as he takes office. He also signals he will ignore their law.

Walker who lost his reelection bid survived a recall election and reelection. During his time, he tried to run for president. During his ill-fated run, he would end up losing to Donald J. Trump.

Trump embarrassed him and called him "weak" and an opportunist.

Other Republican state legislatures are doing the same. In Michigan, the state legislature is working on doing the same to governor elect Gretchen Whitmer.

The lame-duck session of Congress is trying to pass the funding for the border wall. Trump vows to shut down the government if they don't get funding for the border wall.

Nancy Wilson Passed Away!

Famed jazz singer Nancy Wilson passed away. She passed away in California. As a native of Chillicothe, Ohio, Wilson was American singer whose career spanned over five decades, from the mid–1950s until her retirement in the early–2010s. She was notable for her single "(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am" and her version of the standard "Guess Who I Saw Today".

She made her debut with her 1961's single, "Guess Who I Saw Today."

Wilson's biggest hit came in 1964 with "(You Don't Know) How Glad I Am," which rose through the charts to the #11 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 singles and earned her a Grammy Award for best R&B recording.

She would win two more Grammy Awards, in 2005 and 2007.

In the 1990s, Wilson became the host of National Public Radio's "Jazz Profiles," a documentary series featuring jazz legends and the music legacy.

After a musical and acting career spanning more than six decades, she retired from live performances in 2011. She wanted "to spend all of her time with her family, especially her grandchildren," according to her website.

Jon Kyl Bows Out!

Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) resigns.

Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) is out. The Arizona lawmaker announced he is resigning effective the end of the month puts Republicans in a position to pick a person who might be more Trumpish than Arizonan.

The pick is to replace the late senator most considered a "maverick."

John McCain died in August leaving his seat vacant. Gov. Doug Ducey appointed Kyl to fill the seat until a special election and then a general.

McCain supported the imbecile when it came to Neil Gorsuch, the Jobs and Tax Cuts Act, the rollback of regulations and appointments of federal judges. McCain bucked the imbecile when it came to repealing the Affordable Care Act. The two sparred over the last few years after the imbecile said that he like "people who weren't caputured."

McCain also banned him from his funeral. Before his death, McCain asked Ducey to pick a person who could relate to the people of Arizona.

Gov. Doug Ducey with Martha McSally.

Ducey said that Kyl would be a perfect fit.

Kyl who served with McCain until 2013 retired and outgoing senator Jeff Flake won the position. Flake who openly criticized Donald J. Trump faced a challenge from the right. Even though Flake supported Trump over 95% of the time, the right thought he was insufficiently conservative. Flake faced the possibility of being ousted by the right. Instead of staying, Flake announced he was retiring.

Enter Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ). Arizona Republicans felt the wind in their sails. They figured that any Republican could beat the eventual Democratic nominee. She entered the race against former state lawmaker Kelli Ward and ex-convict and former Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio. McSally managed to beat the Republican challengers and would become the nominee.

She faced Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) in this race. The Democrat was facing tough odds and a campaign of smears and dirty tactics by McSally and Trump allies.

McSally might become a senator. She might join Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) in the senate.

In the events leading up to the Midterm elections, most called the race for the Republican. When the night was over, many figured that the Democrats failed in the Blue Wave to retake the Senate. States that Trump won swept Democratic senators out and new freshman came in. Tennessee kept a Republican in. Arizona was a lost.

Then shock of many came when they did a ballot by ballot count. It showed that McSally was dwindling in votes. It had showed that Sinema was pulling ahead. Matter of fact, Sinema would pulled a whooped of ballots erasing McSally's lead and pulling in a significant number of votes to be declared the winner.

Now in a few weeks, Sinema will be a U.S. Senator marking a first. Sinema becomes the first Democrat in over 30 years to be elected in Arizona. She will be the first woman and openly bisexual person to hold that seat.

Now that Sinema won, Kyl felt he was no longer needed. He supported the Brett Kavanaugh nomination and helped rollback regulations. Now he leaves the seat open for McSally or someone willing to hold the position until a permanent candidate announces their intention to run.

Ducey could pick McSally or Cindy McCain as the safe choice. Or he could pick a Trump supporter like Kelli Ward which pleases Trump when it comes to federal judges and Supreme Court nominees.

McSally is still a likely frontrunner.

Feds Nab Wannabe Terrorists!

Ohio could be the hub of extremism. Ohio man wanted to join the Islamic State. Ohio woman wanted to massacre a Jewish synagogue,

Extremism is on the rise. Just look at how many people were nabbed in Ohio. These individuals are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Laith Waleed Alebbini from Dayton, Ohio was charged with providing material and and resources to a foreign terrorist organization. He was criminally indicted for this charge. This could place his ass in the federal time out for up to 20 years.

Alebbini wanted to join the Islamic State and join the Syrian civil war.

Federal public defender Thomas Anderson wrote that Alebbini is a legal permanent U.S. resident with no criminal record who has an infant son. Anderson also wrote that the government's case is deficient because Alebbini was not seeking to travel to place himself under the direction of ISIS.

A federal judge ruled that Alebbini be detained without bond, agreeing with prosecutors who said the defendant was a "flight risk."

Anderson wrote that the ticket to fly to Jordan was paid for by the FBI through a confidential informant and that Alebbini just wanted to get to Syria to fight against the Bashar al-Assad regime.

Anderson wrote that the government’s theory is not that Alebbini was plotting any type of terrorist attack either in America or abroad.

Naser Almadaoji from Dayton, Ohio also was attempting to join Alebbini. A federal judge in Dayton ruled that the Beavercreek teen must remain incarcerated while prosecutors pursue an accusation that Almadaoji tried to join an arm of ISIS.

The count of attempting to provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization carries a maximum 20 years in prison.

Almadaoji, an Iraqi-born, naturalized U.S. citizen, was taken into custody last week at the Columbus airport and charged in Dayton’s U.S District Court after he attempted to fly to Kazakhstan.

Teen wanted to join the Islamic State.

U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Ohio Benjamin Glassman said evidence shows Almadaoji’s plan was to be smuggled into Afghanistan and join ISIS Khorasan, an affiliate of ISIS in that country, to be trained.

Two people from Toledo, Ohio were nabbed by the feds after the two plotted terrorist attacks upon Jewish facilities in the area.

The two were separate cases. CNN reports the two were plotting mass causality attacks upon Jewish people and American infrastructure.

A synagogue and a Georgia pipeline were the targets of two Ohio residents arrested by federal authorities in separate investigations, officials said on Monday.

Authorities said Damon Joseph, 21, planned to kill worshipers inside a Jewish synagogue in Toledo with an assault rifle. In a second case, Elizabeth Lecron, 23, is accused of purchasing bomb-making materials she intended to use to blow up a pipeline.

Both arrests followed monthslong investigations in which clues, such as images of guns or words of support for mass murderers, were posted on social media.

The stark difference in Joseph and Lecron's targets shows the scope of the challenge for investigators, said Justin E. Herdman, US attorney for the Northern District of Ohio.

"It's not just one threat. It's across the spectrum," Herdman told CNN in an interview on Monday. "It's not just Islamic or anarchist or animal rights terrorism. It's everything."

Investigators became aware of Joseph after they noticed pictures of knives and firearms on his social media accounts, court records show. FBI agents posing as members of ISIS began a monthslong conversation with Joseph in which he offered his services in creating propaganda videos, court records show.

Joseph would routinely talk online with undercover agents who he thought were members of ISIS, the records show. The conversations ranged from details about his propaganda videos to his beliefs, and he admitted he struggled with the idea of killing but was not afraid to go to prison, since he would be able to recruit fellow inmates. Then in September, the agents asked Joseph if he hated people in America. "Oh yeah, definitely," answered Joseph, according to court records. "The gays the Christians the Catholics the Jews you name it."

Undercover agents later met Joseph in person and were given a shopping list of weapons and ammunition, items he needed to mimic the October Tree of Life shooting, where 11 people were killed, Herdman said. On his list was an assault rifle, semi-automatic pistol, at least two magazines and ammunition, according to the indictment.

By the time Joseph met with undercover agents on Friday, they said, he had fine-tuned his plot.

Joseph had narrowed his plot to one synagogue and showed one of the agents pictures from inside the structure, saying he wanted to start the killing spree in the sanctuary, records show. Joseph, who also wanted to make sure he killed a rabbi, said he was going to raid the synagogue on the Sabbath so he would cause maximum bloodshed, records show.

Later that day, agents sold Joseph two inoperable AR-15's and that is when they took him into custody, records show.

"This guy is one firearm away from another Tree of Life shooting. That's what he wanted to do," Herdman said. "He was clear on what his intent was and what his plan was."
Joseph's attorney declined to comment.

Ohio man wanted to join the Islamic State and tried to recruit others to join him.

Lecron, who gushed on social media over mass murderers like Columbine High School shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, and Dylann Roof, the man who killed nine people in a 2015 massacre at a historically black Charleston, South Carolina, church.

Lecron, who attempted to send Nazi literature to Roof, told undercover FBI agents she hatched a murder plot for a Toledo bar. She then decided to target a livestock farm and wanted to form a team, officials said, before changing course again and saying she and her roommate planned to make a pipe bomb and were gathering materials.

Earlier this month, Lecron told an undercover agent she was considering a pipeline in Georgia. She agreed to buy black powder needed to make the bomb and had bought hundreds of screws, intended to be used as shrapnel in the blast, at a sporting goods store on Saturday, records show.

Information on Lecron's attorney was not immediately released.

"The longer these people are in place on the street the greater the risk is that they're going to kill somebody," Herdman said. "It was just the right time to take them down."

Another man, Vincent S. Armstrong, 23, was charged Wednesday with providing false statements to a law enforcement officer, federal and local authorities said. Armstrong, who lives with Lecron, has been in custody since Monday.

According to an affidavit filed in Armstong's case, he and Lecron flew together in August to visit locations related to the mass shooting at Columbine. Authorities searched their home in August and found several weapons, including an AK-47, a shotgun, handguns and ammunition, along with end caps that Armstrong purchased, which can be used to build pipe bombs, according to the affidavit.
Authorities also found journal entries by the couple discussing a violent attack. "Now I have these thoughts. ...These memories. They haunt me. I have a vision. A vision to kill. To hunt the unwilling. These peasants to society," Armstrong wrote on June 8, according to authorities.

In an interview Monday with authorities, Armstrong denied discussing the attack plans with Lecron and purchasing items that could be used to make a bomb, according to the affidavit. That day, authorities found a duffel bag in the trunk of Armstrong's car with several items, including a tactical vest with two loaded magazines for an AK-47 and printouts of instructions of how to build various bombs, according to the affidavit.

CNN has not determined whether Armstrong has an attorney.

Maria Butina Served!

Heading to federal time out.

The 30-year old Russian honeytrap who was faced criminal indictments for failure to register as a foreign agent served a federal sandwich. They accused her of peddling information and pandering influence to prominent Republican lawmakers and conservative agitators.

Butina has gotten a graduate's degree from the American University. During her time in the U.S., she built an extensive career of talking to prominent leaders within Republican circles. She managed to nab a disgusting pervert named Paul Erickson who helped her get in.

Maria Butina plead guilty. Her guilty plea comes with a price. She admits to engaging in conspiracy against the United States in collusion with the Russian government. Butina was forced to reveal secrets to how her operation worked, how she managed to get within Republican circles and how to transmit information to Russian operatives.

The Kremlin claims that Butina was "tortured" during her stay in federal time out.

Butina was accused of working to infiltrate Republican political circles through groups such as the National Rifle Association to bolster interest in the Russian Federation.

Butina said that she acted "under direction" of a high official (identified as Alexander Torshin) to establish communications with conservative groups and the White House.

Her conviction could reduce her sentence to a nickel in federal time out, possible deportment and banishment from the United States. She can appeal the charges at given time.

Butina with Alexander Torshin. Behind them is the podium for President of the United States.

Butina had a tryst with Paul Erickson, a South Dakota Republican activist who managed to her seat at the NRA, the National Prayer Breakfast, former Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke, Jr., Wayne LaPierre, Dan Bongino, and Donald Trump, Jr.

There was a report that Butina met with Donald J. Trump to talk up sanctions.

The Kremlin has admitted that Butina is an asset. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova spoke to CNN about the controversy.

"It's not about justice. It's just inquisition. It's medieval inquisition. Becuase she is intimidated, she was tortured and was not treated like a human being, not like a woman."

She added, "I think she was treated and is still treated probably as a terrorist or something like that."

Looking For Newt!

There's talk that the new White House Chief of Staff could be has-been Newt Gingrich 

The White House cancelled their annual Christmas Party for the journalists. Amazed that journalists would actually show up to see that bloated orange tanned asshole and his facial nightmare of a wife.

Today, word got out that a washed up politician and Fox News contributor got a call from the imbecile.

"Hey, would you like to be my Chief of Staff?"

"Frankly, I would accept it!"

Newt Gingrich, a washed up lawmaker and conservative carnival barker is considered a top-tier for the position of Chief of Staff.

Another ridiculous pick is about to happen. Gingrich promoted the toxic environment that gave us Donald J. Trump is probably willing to take the role. His wife, Calista is already appointed ambassador to the Holy See (Vatican City).

Gingrich would be the likely choice. He's washed up. He has nothing better to do with himself other than write crappy book.

Trump already appointed Calista Gingrich as Ambassador to the Vatican City. She is Newt's third wife and former mistress.

It seems like his "shadow chief of staff" once again asked him to do him a favor.

Sean "Softball" Hannity again....!

Yup.

Anyway, besides Gingrich, there's acting Attorney General Andrew Feinberg who is currently on the short list of possible replacements.

Trump was strongly concerned that if he picked Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) as his chief of staff, the Republicans would have to face a special election in which the seat could be flipped.

Gingrich was then House Speaker from 1995 to 1999. He was from Georgia's 6th Congressional District. The 6th Congressional District is currently held by Rep. Karen Handel (R-GA).

When January comes around, Lucy McBath will take the spot. She will be the first Democrat in almost 40 years to represent the district. She is African American and the mother of Jordan Davis, the Florida teen who was gunned down in a road rage dispute in 2012.

Any thoughts to this?
