The European Union's top diplomat got a frosty reception on Capitol Hill today as she lobbied lawmakers to preserve the nuclear deal with Iran.

Speaking at a press conference this afternoon, EU High Representative Federica Mogherini expressed confidence that US lawmakers would not kill the hard-fought agreement. US President Donald Trump last month refused to certify that the deal meets congressional requirements and tasked Congress with unilaterally strengthening the deal through the threat of sanctions.

"We are exchanging views with the legislators on the need to make sure [that] before a bill is presented, that its contents do not represent a violation of the agreement," Mogherini told reporters. "I got clear indications that the intention is to keep the United States in compliance with the agreement."

Judicial Watch announced today that the Justice Department is now comparing former FBI Director James Comey to WikiLeaks. After Comey was fired by President Trump on May 9, 2017, he gave the New York Times a February 14, 2017, memorandum written about a one-on-one conversation he had with President Trump regarding former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. Judicial Watch is asking a federal court to order the release of all Comey's unclassified memoranda about his one-on-one conversations with the president.

Comey testified under oath before the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that he authored as many as nine such memos about his one-on-one conversations with President Trump. He also admitted, regarding the "Flynn" memo, "I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter [for The New York Times] ... I asked him to because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel." The New York Times published a report about the memo on May 16, 2017. Special Counsel Robert Mueller was appointed the following day.

The Israeli army said it had shot down a Russian-made Syrian drone carrying out a reconnaissance mission over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights on Saturday.

The drone was intercepted by a Patriot missile in the demilitarised zone between the Israeli- and Syrian-controlled parts of the Golan, a military spokeswoman said in a statement.

Israel and Syria are still technically at war, though the armistice line on the Golan Heights had remained largely quiet for decades until civil war erupted in Syria in 2011.

On November 2, 2017, Politico published explosive excerpts from former interim DNC Chair Donna Brazile's upcoming book Hacks: The Inside Story of the Break-ins and Breakdowns That Put Donald Trump in the White House confirming the Democratic Party fixed its 2016 primary for Hillary Clinton before a single American had voted.

The reality that the Democratic Party undermined democracy by designating Clinton as its nominee before its primary contests has been widely reported in independent media, but actively dismissed by the state-aligned corporate media that had coordinated with the Democrats and permitted this fraud to occur unchecked. With American media beholden to Clinton and the establishment, Brazile's bombshell broke the "Bernie blackout" that originated in 2016 to silence Bernie Sanders' campaign to Clinton's benefit.

Renowned hypocrite Elizabeth Warren was swift to join Brazile in throwing Clinton under the bus, doubling the irony considering the active roles Brazile and Warren both played in ushering Clinton into the general election, despite the clear and obvious likelihood that she would lose to Donald Trump as she did - bigly.

Last Tuesday, Senior U.S. District Judge William J. Zloch heard oral arguments regarding a Motion to Dismiss filed by attorneys representing the Democratic National Committee and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz in the class action lawsuit filed against them. The lawsuit seeks damages on behalf of Democratic Party donors who made financial contributions to Bernie Sanders and the Party under the presumption the primary would be conducted fairly per the DNC's Charter. The lawsuit was filed in June 2016 following the release of leaked emails showing behind-the-scenes collusion between the DNC, the Clinton campaign, and other entities to ensure Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic nominee prior to Americans casting votes in the party's primary contests.

Transcripts released from the hearing Friday expose numerous shocking revelations presented by the Democrats' counsel arguing in support of the Motion to Dismiss regarding the way the Democratic Party views its obligations and responsibilities in conducting the primary nominating process. Judge Zloch did not issue a ruling from the bench; he will issue a written order in response to the Motion to Dismiss at a later, unspecified date as he considers the merits of the defendants on the Motion.

The following is a list of numerous jaw-dropping statements made by lawyers on behalf of the Democratic National Committee that should be examined as the American public awaits the Judge's order.

Madrid has claimed that hackers from Russia and Venezuela influenced Catalonia's desire to seek independence. The following is from El Pais, one of the Spanish-speaking world's largest newspaper. It follows:

The Spanish government takes the intervention of hackers from Russia and Venezuela in the institutional crisis of Catalonia and will address this issue in the Council of Foreign Affairs of the European Union to be held next Monday. This was announced on Friday by the government spokesman, Íñigo Méndez de Vigo, and the defense minister, María Dolores de Cospedal.

"This is a serious issue, where democracy has to face the challenges of new technologies," summarized Méndez de Vigo after the meeting of the Council of Ministers. "It is an issue that will be on the agenda of the next foreign affairs council, next Monday in Brussels, where the Foreign Minister [Alfonso Dastis] will intervene in the matter," he announced.

"We believe that Europe has to take this issue very seriously, we have seen in recent times a foundation of the EU as a community of law, as a constitutional order It is not possible that strange, alien forces, that we do not know who they are, want to alter that constitutional order," he argued. "As technology has no borders, we believe that the scope in which it must be resolved is the scope of the EU."

"What the Government has contrasted is that many messages and interventions that have occurred through social networks come from Russian territory," said the head of Defense. "And I use the exact expression of Russian territory," he stressed. "That does not necessarily mean that we have verified that it is the Russian Government," he has continued. "Therefore, we must act with the utmost prudence, we must be very clear about the origins, they are part of the Russian territory, part of others, also foreign to the EU, it is at the moment of determining that." Government sources later specified that one of those territories outside the EU is Venezuela.

The idea of 'moderate Islam' was invented by the West and is being used to weaken the ancient religion, Turkey's President Recep Erdogan has said in reference to Saudi Arabia's reforms, while also lashing out at the EU's "discrimination" of Muslims.

Last month, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, vowed to restore "moderate" Islam to the kingdom considered to be "home" of the religion. The Gulf monarchy currently follows a Salafist or Wahhabi version of Islam that is often described as being "ultraconservative" and administered through Islamic Sharia law. In what appears to be a direct reference to Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince, Erdogan denounced a "moderate" interpretation of Islam in a speech delivered at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Women's Advisory Council on Friday.

"The term 'moderate Islam' is being lathered up again. The patent of moderate Islam belongs to the West. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam; Islam is one. The aim of using such terms is to weaken Islam," Erdogan said in Ankara.

Ajamu Baraka, the vice presidential candidate for the Green Party in the 2016 election, has criticized this week's decision to force RT America to register as a foreign agent. Instead, he insisted mainstream media officially declare their agendas.

On Friday, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) said that the channel has to file for the designation by Monday or face legal consequences.

"This is outrageous and should be opposed by all who support free flow of information," tweeted Baraka, who was on the ticket with Jill Stein in the presidential race.

Fiat currencies will no longer be in use in five year's time as they are to be replaced by cryptocurrencies, according to American venture capital investor Tim Draper who has 30,000 bitcoins in his digital wallet.

At the WebSummit conference in Lisbon, Portugal, he told Forbes the fiat system will eventually disappear as people look toward coins like bitcoin or ethereum. He says its because fiat currencies are bound by country borders.

"In five years, if you try to use fiat currency they will laugh at you. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will be so relevant ... there will be no reason to have the fiat currencies," he said.

Infowars uncovered a bombshell when they discovered the Facebook page of one of Judge Roy Moore's accusers, Debbie Gibson, who came out in a Washington Post article to accuse him of sexual misconduct that allegedly took place 36 years ago.

Debbie Wesson Gibson says that she was 17 in the spring of 1981 when Moore spoke to her Etowah High School civics class about serving as the assistant district attorney. She says that when he asked her out, she asked her mother what she would say if she wanted to date a 34-year-old man. Gibson says her mother asked her who the man was, and when Gibson said "Roy Moore," her mother said, "I'd say you were the luckiest girl in the world."

Among locals in Gadsden, a town of about 47,000 back then, Moore "had this godlike, almost deity status - he was a hometown boy made good," Gibson says, "West Point and so forth."

Gibson says that they dated for two to three months, and that he took her to his house, read her poetry and played his guitar. She says he kissed her once in his bedroom and once by the pool at a local country club.

"Looking back, I'm glad nothing bad happened," says Gibson, who now lives in Florida. "As a mother of daughters, I realize that our age difference at that time made our dating inappropriate."

Debbie Gibson hates Donald Trump, but that's not all, she's pretty fond of Judge Roy Moore's opponent, Doug Ross for US Senate In Alabama as well...

Here are a few anti-Trump posts that were found on Gibson's Facebook page:
