Trump Embraces Another Right-Wing Network to Make Fox News Jealous The Daily Beast May 28, 2019 One evening last week, Neil W. McCabe, a Breitbart veteran who now works as a weekend White House correspondent at One America News Network (OAN), found himself in the lobby bar area of Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. The hotel is a top hangout for Donald Trump’s fans, administration officials, campaign brass, Republican staffers, and the like. And as he mingled in the lobby, McCabe started talking to one of those denizens: Meredith Hope, an avowed Trump supporter and designer who…
By Larry Klayman RenewAmerica May 28, 2019 On July 29, 1994, almost 25 years ago, I conceived of and founded Judicial Watch to be the “People’s Justice Department.” At the time, I had been a trial and international lawyer, and before that a prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice for 17 years. Over my legal career, I had experienced a great deal of injustice in the courts and government in general, with judges and government regulators dishonestly favoring the vested establishment interests. Often, the amount of money donated to influential politicians, and the political patronage which gave rise…

Alyssa Milano Mocks Him: ‘Has Been’ ‘F-Lister’ Daily Wire May 27, 2019 On Saturday, actress Alyssa Milano, who may be 100% talent-free, stood atop her leftist soapbox and denounced protean actor Jon Voight, who had released a video in which he championed President Trump for his work as president, calling him “the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln.” Milano tweeted: Now I understand why Republicans like to discredit actors and our political views. “Stay in your lane, Jon!” “Has been!” “F-lister trying to stay relevant!” “Nobody cares what an out of touch actor thinks!” Continue…
LA Times Op-Ed Sweetens the Destruction of Israel HonestReporting May 27, 2019 The concepts of equal rights and justice are embedded in the American psyche. US academic of Palestinian descent, George Bisharat is well aware of this when he makes his case for a one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the LA Times. But what looks like a winning formula couched in the language of human rights and equality is actually a thinly veiled way of sweetening the pill of advocating for Israel’s destruction as a Jewish state. Bisharat’s prescription: The way forward will be difficult, but…
Democrats claim victory as Trump gets battered in court By Jacqueline Thomsen TheHill May 27, 2019 President Trump took a beating in federal court last week, losing a pair of lawsuits aimed at hindering House Democrats’ investigations into him and his administration. The decisions indicated that Trump will ultimately lose the fights: Both judges in the subpoena cases issued their rulings swiftly and decisively, underscoring the weakness of Trump’s legal arguments. The lawsuits were likely intended as Trump’s attempt to delay Congress from being able to obtain the documents, taking advantage of the slow pace of the court…
Why Trump’s Stonewalling Legal Strategy Will Keep Failing By Renato Mariotti POLITICO Magazine May 26, 2019 In the space of three days this week, two federal judges ruled decisively in favor of Congress’ right to subpoena President Donald Trump’s personal financial and business records. The speed of the decisions—unusual in complex federal litigation—demonstrates a significant flaw in the administration’s “fight all the subpoenas” strategy. More importantly, it suggests that Trump’s strategy of categorically fighting all congressional subpoenas will undermine his ability to stonewall Congress in subsequent cases. Already, one of the rulings has been appealed by the Trump…
