Despite reporting correctly Deputy AG Rosenstein's statement that Mueller's investigation found no evidence that Russian social media activity had an effect on the US election and no cooperation or collusion with the Trump campaign, CBS then falsely reports: "DOJ indicts Russians for meddling in election."

Does CBS have an explanation for its side-by-side self-contradiction on its own website?

Are the CBS presstitutes so stupid that they didn't even notice their self-contradiction, or are the presstitutes so determined to carry on with the Russiagate fake news story that they shout over a print account with a TV Special Report?

Is it a question of total incompetence or total dishonesty? I see every indication on the part of the media to prevent the American public from understanding that from start to finish Russiagate was a hoax designed to discredit the President of the United States.

Comment: All the mainstream media outlets are following the deep state's marching orders.

The populist far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has garnered record high support, latest polling shows. For the first time, the anti-immigrant party has become more popular than the Social Democrats (SPD).

Nationwide public support for AfD, which is known for its controversially harsh anti-Islam and anti-immigrant stances, has once again risen to a record 16 percent, a survey conducted by the INSA polling center for the German Bild daily newspaper shows. Their popularity is now comparable to the record support they once had in September 2016.

At the same time, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) is on a downward trend, as the public support for what once was one of the two major "people's parties" in Germany seems to be waning. In what was called its worst post-war performance, the SPD received just 20.5 percent of the vote in the recent parliamentary elections in September 2017. Now, according to INSA, public support for the party has fallen to yet another all-time low of only 15.5 percent.

A teacher has been fired from a North Carolina school for body slamming a 12-year-old student in an assault captured on video and posted to Facebook.

The unnamed substitute teacher had his contract terminated by the Western Guilford Middle School on Sunday, though initially the victim, Jose Escudero, was suspended for seven days over the incident. Outraged by the attack Escudero's mother, Mayo Corrales, posted the video to Facebook in the hope of securing "justice" for her son.

Very Important News: Jennifer Lawrence Taking a Break From Acting to 'Fix Democracy'

Stupid is as stupid does
Hollywood A-lister Jennifer Lawrence says she's taking a sabbatical from acting so she can help "fix our democracy."

"I'm going to take the next year off," Lawrence told Entertainment Tonight, explaining how she will work with a self-described anti-corruption nonprofit during her break from film. "I'm going to be working with this organization as a part of Represent.US... trying to get young people engaged politically on a local level."

"It doesn't have anything to do with partisan [politics]. It's just anti-corruption and stuff trying to pass state by state laws that can help prevent corruption, fix our democracy."


Comment: Yeah, something tells us - without even looking into what this organization represents - that it isn't about getting youth engaged with anything remotely Republican or independent.


The Hunger Games star hinted at her desire to take a break from acting last November, telling Elle magazine that she plans to trade the limelight for a farm and activism.

"I want to get a farm," the Academy Award-winner told the lifestyle magazine. "I want to be, like, milking goats."


Comment: Can you go do that in Canada?


Comment: Do it J-Law, get right out there and fix femocracy - sorry, democrazi... oops, democracy - go fix it real good.

Dangerous precedent: Court removes 17-year-old daughter from parents because they did not support grant her transgender hormone treatment

On Friday, Ohio parents were denied custody of their daughter for not being supportive enough of her alleged transgenderism.

The 17-year-old biologically female child identifies as a boy and claims she has suicidal thoughts over her parents' lack of support for her transgenderism (they won't, for example, call her by her new chosen male name). The parents were fighting for custody of their daughter back from the state in an effort to stop potential transgender hormone treatment.

An attorney representing the parents, whose names have not been disclosed because of privacy concerns, argued that the girl was not "even close to being able to make such a life-altering decision at this time." Representatives of the girl argued that a "medical team" claimed that the treatment was a matter of life and death.

Hamilton County Judge Sylvia Sieve Hendon granted custody to the girl's maternal grandparents, who are open to transgender hormone therapy. The teenager has been living with them since 2016.

Comment: Totalitarianism, here we come.

History and pattern of mass shootings needs to be understood before people demand more gun control

Until the government noose is loosened from around the necks of the citizens and the "nanny police state" abolished, anti-constitutionalists and government will continue the "look, squirrel" method of distraction to prevent focus on who is causing the problem and what exactly that problem is.

Yesterday, the united States suffered another mass shooting incident in a school in Parkland, Florida, killing 17 students. Right on cue, anti-constitutionalists called for the government to implement a solution in the form of gun control. Activist actors, like Michael Keaton, used social media to blame the shooting on the "weak disgusting" NRA and Republicans, as well as five other shootings occurring since Columbine High School in 1999. At a candlelight vigil in Parkland for the shooting victims at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, chants of "no more gun" broke out. The Associated Press declared the suspected shooter, Nikolas Cruz, belonged to a "white nationalist group" when no evidence exists to support such a claim. Moreover, a report claimed the FBI received a warning about Cruz in September 2017 when a comment on a YouTube video, using the name "Nikolas Cruz," stated, "I'm going to be a professional school shooter."

Does a pattern emerge here similar to other mass shootings and/or bombings since 1999? Yes, it does. The outline above makes it clear. Unfortunately, many citizens are not getting it.

The US Air Force is about to abandon expensive surveillance aircrafts and satellites, opting for an information network out of concerns over Russia's and China's increased space capabilities.

The United States has decided to ditch a $7 billion surveillance aircraft program in favor of an information network that connects sensors from manned and unmanned aircraft, satellites, ships at sea and ground troops.

"In a contested environment, an integrated air, space, ground network is more resilient than a single point," said Heather Wilson, Air Force Secretary, as cited by SpaceNews.

The British charity, Oxfam, has received 26 fresh accusations of sexual misconduct since the breaking of the Haiti scandal, MPs have been told by chief executive Mark Goldring.

"Across Oxfam Great Britain we have had about 26 stories, reports come to us which were either new reports come out as a result of the stories, or earlier stories where people said, 'I didn't necessarily report this at the time,'" Oxfam chief executive Goldring told the Commons International Development Committee.

"Over an extended period of time, I am not talking about recent cases," Goldring added. "We really want people to come forward wherever they are and whenever this happened. Some of those cases relate to the UK, some of them relate to our international program."

Goldring also told MPs that, according to an internal investigation, no sex workers used by charity employees were underage. When the scandal initially broke there were suggestions that some of the prostitutes used by Oxfam staff may have been under 18.

Comment: It was previously reported that an internal investigation at Oxfam revealed Haitian Oxfam director Roland van Hauwermeiren engaged in a 'Caligulia-style' orgy with Haitian prostitutes at his villa rented by Oxfam through public charity funding. The internal inquiry also discovered that a 'culture of impunity' existed during the operation to help Haitians after the devastating 2010 earthquake.Considering all the revelations, it's not hard to understand why people are taking their money elsewhere instead of supporting an organization that seems to be doing the opposite of what it was set up to do.

Following the underwhelming indictment of 'Russian trolls' for alleged meddling in the 2016 US elections, some US pundits have doubled down, comparing their actions to the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and 9/11.

Washington Post political columnist Karen Tumulty made the glib comparison in a piece published Sunday. While admitting there was "no loss of life," Tumulty claimed Russia was guilty of "an act of war nonetheless, a sneak attack using 21st-century methods."

Classicist Mary Beard has risked the ire of the #MeToo supporters, suggesting the campaign should focus less on "isolated" incidents of misconduct and do more to tackle the wider issue of sexual harassment.

The broadcaster and historian also said the Times Up campaign, which was launched in response to the Hollywood sexual abuse scandal, should invest more effort in trying to protect women rather than holding men to account for single incidents of inappropriate sexual behavior.

She seemingly excused "one-off" perpetrators, stating "we all we all have bits of mistaken casual behavior."

While acknowledging the campaign's success in making sex abuse against women subject of public debate, Beard expressed doubt over its obsession to "collect scalps."
