Yemen risks starvation as western-backed Saudi siege continues

Saudi Arabia may now be allowing some humanitarian aid into Yemen, but the blockade on all commercial goods remains firmly in place, and it is ordinary civilians who are paying the price.

In the streets of Hodeidah, on the eastern coast of Yemen, Ahmed Showei walks the streets, peddling toys.

Even before the blockade on Yemen was introduced, on 6 November, Showei, who is 43 and a father of six children, was struggling to make a living.
I found that the prices had increased around 50 percent so I could not buy food for my family

Oliver Stone

As Russia continues to be accused of US election meddling and President Putin is portrayed as a villain by the MSM, filmmaker Oliver Stone told RT there's more to the story - and that he fears the US could lose its self-control and do something dangerous.

Stone - who extensively interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin for "The Putin Interviews," which aired on US cable network Showtime in June - spoke to RT's Sophie Shevardnadze about Moscow, Washington, and the relationship between the two powers.

Ann Coulter gets something right: Europe's policy regarding migration is "suicidal madness"

Ann Coulter is an American conservative, lawyer, writer and political commentator. We asked her some questions about Europe's migration policy, president Trump's influence and the left.

What's your opinion on Europe's migration policy?

A: Suicidal madness imposed on the good people of Europe by their idiot leaders. It's not really "migration" at all, which is something that happens naturally. What you're experiencing is a specific, evil government policy to destroy your countries.

What would you do if you were president of the European Commission (EU boss)?

A: I prefer to be called "Supreme Ruler," but okay. First, I'd fire all the commissioners, then I'd order them, plus all migrants, deported to North Korea and wherever ISIS is setting up shop these days, so they will leave Europe alone and can wreck some other countries instead.


Comment: Triple Oy! Coulter starts by getting it right about Europe's migration policy and then goes full retard by vilifying the migrants themselves - who are doubly the victims in this situation - and then she has to throw North Korea into the mix as though it isn't the US Deep State that is responsible for demonizing and bullying the Asian country! Oh well.


Comment: But getting back to Europe's migration policy - it is, indeed, monstrous. Listen in to the following SOTT interview to find out why:

Trump triumphant after ABC suspends Brian Ross for 'Russia Witch Hunt' story

Donald Trump has welcomed ABC's move to suspend its chief investigative journalist Brian Ross for what the US president branded a "horrendously inaccurate and dishonest" report on Mike Flynn's guilty plea. The report temporarily caused stocks to plummet.

"Congratulations to @ABC News for suspending Brian Ross for his horrendously inaccurate and dishonest report on the Russia, Russia, Russia Witch Hunt. More Networks and "papers" should do the same with their Fake News!" the president tweeted.

ABC News made headlines again on Saturday when it announced that the network had suspended Ross for four weeks without pay for a "serious error" in his reporting about former National Security Adviser (NSA) Michael Flynn's guilty plea. During a live "Special Report" on Friday Ross said, citing anonymous sources, that Flynn allegedly agreed to testify that during the 2016 election campaign then-candidate Trump told him to contact Russian officials. However, Ross' source later told the journalist that the order came when Trump had already won the election and was president-elect.

Brian Ross receives suspension without pay for reporting 'fake news' about Trump

Brian Ross
Late Saturday, ABC News announced it was suspending network investigative reporter Brian Ross four weeks without pay for an inaccurate report that aired Friday.

The report claimed Donald Trump had directed his eventual National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to contact the Russians while running for president as a candidate.

Ross followed up his reporting later that day with a "clarification," claiming it was not while Trump was a candidate, but as president-elect.

Comment: Of course 99% of any reporting on Trump and Russia is 'fake news' but when the stock market takes damage then heads start rolling. Trump's response hits the nail on the head - more of the MSM should be doing the same:

Sessions announces he's 'doing everything possible' to reverse Sanctuary City policies

Jeff Sessions
Friday on Fox News Channel's "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Attorney General Jeff Sessions pledged his Department of Justice was doing everything possible to reverse sanctuary city policies in the wake of a San Francisco jury's decision to find Jose Ines Garcia Zarate not guilty for the death of Kate Steinle.

Sessions said withholding federal money and urging Congress to act on legislation aimed at ending sanctuary city policies were two courses of action the Trump administration is pursuing. But he also said his department was being obstructed by federal judges, which he described as "frustrating."

Comment: 'Sanctuary cities' give liberal politicians a chance to virtue signal while they let horrendous crimes go unpunished. But now it seems the tide is turning against them. As Roger Simon recently wrote,
When Defense Attorney Matt Gonzalez and Public Defender Jeff Adachi chose to make the exoneration of their client Jose Ines Garcia Zarate in the death of Kate Steinle an opportunity to attack the president, vice president and attorney general, my immediate thought was these two young lawyers are fools. They should learn when to keep their mouths shut.

But no matter -- because the real villains in the Kate Steinle story are the San Francisco politicians who made the rules that prevented ICE from removing the already five-time deported criminal Zarate from the country.

These SF pols already had Kate's murder forever on their consciences, what they have of them anyway. Now they will also have to deal with the growing disgust of the American public and an administration that loathes these politicians, backed up by a Supreme Court that will ultimately be on the side of that administration for most actions it might take.

One Democratic senator, two House Democrats and one House Republican have been accused of sexual harassment or assault and are under pressure to resign.

Rep. John Conyers (D-MI)

Democratic Michigan Rep. John Conyers is accused of consistently sexually harassing his female staffers and demanding sexual favors from them. Conyers secretly settled with one accuser for more than $27,000 in taxpayer funding, in exchange for her silence. The 88-year-old Conyers has denied all wrongdoing. After a public backlash initially for defending Conyers as an "icon," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called on him to resign. As of yet, Conyers has given no indication that he plans to resign.

Judicial Watch releases new Lynch-Clinton tarmac docs - reveals FBI's Clinton cover-up

clinton lynch
In Washington, the ostensible story is rarely the real story. We know, for example, that former President Clinton engineered a meeting with President Obama's attorney general, Loretta Lynch, on the tarmac of the Phoenix Airport on June 27, 2016.

That's the official story, replete with the charming and intentionally disarming detail that all they talked about was their grandchildren. It was just coincidental, don't you know, that at the time the FBI was looking into Hillary Clinton's use of a "personal" email server to send, receive and store classified information.

And it was also simply coincidental that just a few days later, the director of the FBI - who served under Attorney General Lynch - announced that he wouldn't recommend a prosecution of Hillary Clinton.

Richard Nixon must be rolling over in his grave.

What we haven't known, until now, is that a frantic scramble erupted in the halls of the FBI to cover up this meeting. In fact, the FBI turned its sharp light not on the scandalous meeting between the attorney general and Bill Clinton - but rather on one of the whistleblowers who got the word out.

Comment: From Judicial Watch, with link to the documents:
Judicial Watch today released 29 pages of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) documents related to the June 27, 2016, tarmac meeting between former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton. The documents show that FBI officials were more concerned about leaks than the actual meeting itself. The new documents also show that then-FBI Director Comey seemed to learn of the meeting from news reports.
