Approximately 5,000 concertgoers were evacuated from the Homegrown Music Festival in New Zealand because someone thought they saw a “right-wing tattoo” on an attendee.

Congress has been told to expect a summary from Barr in about 40 mins
Mueller has cleared Trump, his campaign, anyone associated with it. “Found no evidence” DESPITE MULTIPLE OFFERS BY RUSSIA of collusion.
draws no conclusion on obstruction. does not conclude president committed a crime, it does not exonerate him, leaves it to attorney general.
Barr and Rosenstein have determined there is no obstruction.
Because Trump did not collude, he had no motive to obstruct, no corrupt intent.
Trump is going to rain God’s wrath on these people. I’m gonna help.

Ah. THIS explains it. The reason Mueller found no collusion is – wait for it – everybody lied.
Key to no prosecution on obstruction may be no evidence of an underlying crime of conspiracy with Russia. But did #Mueller not find evidence of conspiracy with Russia because so many people lied? Catch-22

Very bizarre show. Premise is male and female are dropped in a deserted area, as stated naked. I think they get like a knife and a rope or something like that. They then need to survive off the land for a certain number of days. Mrs. Federalist watched a few episodes. My personal opinion is that someone on a production crew just wanted to have the chance to be around nude people for a couple weeks at a time. Whole premise seems somewhat silly.

The ‘naked’ part is not a sexual thing, it’s a survival thing. On TV you don’t actually see anything and I can tell you in real life, it becomes a non-issue faster than you can imagine.
what she didn’t know during filming is that she’d been bitten by a poisonous spider and she thought she was just sick from dehydration or something. Her throat was closing (I’m getting this from the twitter feed we’ve got going – we’re all watching live and chatting)

Adam Schiftless has got some real problems. My guess is he was either the recipient of some very BAD information from someone in the Mueller investigation regarding collusion and/or he just assumed it had to be there and made it up as he went along.
Mark Levin pointed out on Friday that although Democrats want the documents, they are not entitled to them, the primary reason being that I’m sure many of the investigative pages dealt with Grand Jury testimony, which is done in secret and the witness is not permitted advice of counsel. When you testify before a Grand Jury you do so with the understanding that your testimony will not be made public. And be careful what you wish for, Dumbocrats. Apparently it was ALL a set up with regard to Papadapolous and the Dossier, and I have a big feeling that’s what the documents are going to say.
And why would an interview have been more compelling than written questions? Have they even seen the written questions? Interrogatories are written in a follow up manner. “If you answer to question 6 was anything other than “no”, please state….. or “if you answered question 6 in the affirmative, please state…..
Looks like House GOP is making a referral to AG Barr to get an investigation going on the individuals who “perpetuated this hoax” for the last three years.
Let’s see….that’s going to be quite a list. Clinton (both), Lynch, Rice, Powers, Clapper, Brennan, Strzok, Page, McCabe, Ohr, Steele, Comey, Rosenweasel…..

I’ve heard 2 astonishing things already this morning.
1. In an interview yesterday w/Seb Gorka, John Solomon said that in the very beginning, 2 people in the intel community came to his house unannounced late at night and told him the intel community was being used to get Trump and was totally compromised and would he please get ON it. If I heard correctly, this was before the dossier was widely known.
2. Maria Bartoromo played a clip of James Clapper in an interview yesterday – I don’t know what network he was on – where he TOTALLY threw Obama, by name, under the bus. He said that it was Obama who insisted the intel community do an ‘assessment’ that led to the investigation, and without that, none of this would have happened.

Records: Former Michelle Obama aide, Smollett relative reached out to Kim Foxx
Just days after Jussie Smollett told Chicago police he had fought off a pair of attackers who targeted him in an apparent hate crime, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx tried to persuade Police Supt. Eddie Johnson to turn the investigation over to the FBI.
Foxx’s call to Johnson came after an influential supporter of the “Empire” actor reached out to Foxx personally: Tina Tchen, a Chicago attorney and former chief of staff for former First Lady Michelle Obama, according to emails and text messages provided by Foxx to the Chicago Sun-Times in response to a public records request.
Tchen passed Foxx’s number to a relative of the actor, and the ensuing conversations with the family member were cited by Foxx last month as the reason she recused herself from Smollett’s prosecution as the actor faces disorderly conduct charges for allegedly making a false police report.

I just got my copy of the Daily Appellate Report, as I wanted to read the decision in the Steinle case on appeal to the 9th Circuit, who (of course) ruled that San Francisco cannot be sued under it’s sanctuary city policy because it released a CRIMINAL illegal alien that went on to kill Kate Steinle.
God, can this family EVER get justice?? The effing jury in this benighted town refused to find the POS guilty of her murder and now the 9th Circus finds that the Sanctuary City policy is “discretionary” and too bad, so sad.
I want to see if the rationale behind liability is such that it should definitely go to the Supreme Court. My initial reaction is yes. If these cities (and in my case, the STATE) can be held liable for willful violation of federal law, I’m thinking they won’t move fast enough to get ICE to get these illegals back to their hellhole of origin.

Music from ancient Greece recreated.
Much of what we think of as Ancient Greek poetry, including Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, was composed to be sung, frequently with the accompaniment of musical instruments. And while the Greeks left modern classicists many indications that music was omnipresent in society – from vases decorated with lyres, to melodic notation preserved on stone – the precise character and contours of the music has long been considered irreproducible. However, the UK Classicist and classical musician Armand D’Angour has spent years endeavouring to stitch the mysterious sounds of Ancient Greek music back together from large and small hints left behind. In 2017, his work culminated in a unique performance at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, intended to recreate the sounds of Greek music dating as far back as Homer’s era – roughly 700 BCE. This short documentary details the extraordinary research and musical expertise that made the concert possible, revealing remarkable sounds once thought lost to time.

I like to think we have reached peak socialism, but the money & power is skewed left. Armstrong says that a small determined demographic CAN make a critical difference. He refers back to Revolutionary movements in history. So yes. It’s worth the fight.

Northwestern Hospital employees say they were fired over Smollett’s records
The Northwestern Memorial Hospital employee thought nothing of it when a coworker walked over to her desk and asked if “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett had been admitted under an alias.
Now, the employee — an administrator with an advanced degree — is out of a job, after she was told she’d inappropriately accessed Smollett’s records, violating hospital rules.
The administrator, who didn’t want her name used, told the Chicago Sun-Times she was stunned by her dismissal — and she suspects others may have been fired or disciplined for doing the same thing.
“I didn’t get any information about [Smollett]. I never clicked on his name and entered his record,” said the former administrator.

The prosecutors soon would learn the resistance they faced was blowing directly from the U.S. Embassy in Kiev, where the Obama administration took the rare step of trying to press the Ukrainian government to back off its investigation of both the U.S. aid and the group.
US Embassy pressed Ukraine to drop probe of George Soros group during 2016 election
which side was Manafort working for? Oh
The U.S.-Soros collaboration was visible in Kiev. Several senior Department of Justice (DOJ) officials and FBI agents appeared in pictures as participants or attendees at Soros-sponsored events and conferences.
One attendee was Karen Greenaway, then the FBI supervisor in charge of international fraud cases and one of the lead agents in the Manafort investigation in Ukraine.
oh, look, another coinky-dink!
Michael Vachon, a spokesman for Soros, deferred any comment about AntAC to the group. But he did he confirm his boss supported the continued investigation of Russia collusion allegations against Trump well past 2016.
Vachon said Soros wrote a sizable check from his personal funds in fall 2017 to a new group, Democracy Integrity Project, started by a former FBI agent and Senate staffer Daniel Jones [and former Feinstein staffer] to continue “investigation and research into foreign interference in American elections and European elections.”
Vachon said the group asked Soros not to divulge the size of his contribution, and Soros later learned the group hired Fusion GPS, the same firm that was paid by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic Party to create the infamous “Steele dossier” alleging Trump-Russia collusion.

Just came out here that the total NZ Carbon debt has already been satisfied just by counting the number of Hectares of Man Made Forest planted 1.2 billion hectares. If NZ is ALREADY Carbon neutral what the hell is all of the breast beating by the socialists about having to pay billions in Carbon credits to other countries. The bloody country already generates 85% of power with Hydro and the balance with natural gas, with coal fired stations still there just as an emergency back up.
Yet the socialist left are demanding that 80% of all cars will need to be converted to electric and public transport tripled by 2050 to meet these ‘imaginary faux-carbon targets.’ The REAL objective is very obvious. The manipulation of the economy to make it uncompetitive and bring the standard of living down to ensure that the NZ Public will have to depend on the State to live.

The whole ‘gerbal worming’ plot is to break the West.
For some reason, this hasn’t received a lot of attention. I can’t imagine why. I mean, when you lose a $2.9 BILLION submarine, you would think somebody would notice.
The INS Arahant is now ‘inoperable’.
The absence of Arihant from operations came to the political leadership’s attention during the India-China military standoff at Doklam
Because…SOMEBODY LEFT A HATCH OPEN.
Arihant , the country’s only operational Ship Submersible Ballistic Nuclear (SSBN) asset, can stay undetected deep underwater for long periods,
Evidently, it already has.
These are our allies, folks.

@ USA Today.
Barbara Bush blamed Trump for her heat attack. Well, it was not exactly a heart attack,but ok.
she also claimed that Trump caused her to abandon the Republican Party.
And this is news, why? The Bush family really needs to go away and enjoy their money.
@ RIX:
SO fascinated/appalled with Trump’s marital issues she cut out newspaper clippings to wave around? But the rapist Clinton is ‘family’?

I didn’t catch the whole thing, but about an hour ago on Fox a man from the Chicago Police Fraternal Order was being interviewed. Didn’t catch his name. He said something about Smollett’s lawyer also being a prosecutor who tried to prosecute 3 innocent police officers on no evidence. The case wrapped up about 3 weeks ago.
I guess he’s referring to the black woman who spoke for Smollett yesterday but I don’t know her name or anything about the case. Anybody know anything? What I was getting out of this was there is an ‘anti-cop’ bias going on from a bunch of SJW in power.

Jussie Smollett’s lawyer didn’t rule out the actor filing a lawsuit after all charges against him in his high-profile attack case were dropped.
Tina Glandian said Smollet and his legal team are currently “weighing our options” after the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office dropped the charges on Tuesday.

yeah, well I’m guessing that would mean his records get unsealed and there’s this thing called ‘discovery’, so go for it.
