By Larry Klayman, Chairman and General Counsel Freedom Watch January 1, 2019 Since Donald J. Trump was elected as president of the United States, the America economy had been booming with the stock market going up and up. This was in large part thanks to the pro-capitalist polices of the Trump administration. Businesses knew that the pro-growth president had their backs, even if he was insistent that companies protected American workers, and not effectively subsidized foreign investment and the transfer of technology, particularly to the Chinese. But then along came Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who along with his conflicted…
‘Overwhelmingly White’ California Women’s March Canceled Over Representation Concerns By Amy Russo HuffPost December 31, 2018 A Women’s March group in Humboldt County, California, won’t be holding its annual demonstration next month because of concerns participants would be “overwhelmingly white.” “This decision was made after many conversations between local social-change organizers and supporters of the march,” the chapter’s organizers said Friday in a statement posted on Facebook. “The local organizers are continuing to meet and discuss how to broaden representation in the organizing committee to create an event that represents and supports peoples who live here in Humboldt.”…
House GOP brings to an unceremonious end its year-old probe into FBI and DOJ handling of Clinton and Trump investigations By Associated Press MarketWatch December 31, 2018 WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans say more investigation is needed into decisions made by the FBI and the Justice Department in 2016 as they brought an unceremonious end to their yearlong look at the department’s handling of probes into Democrat Hillary Clinton’s emails and Donald Trump’s ties to Russia. In a letter released late Friday, less than a week before Republicans cede the House majority to Democrats, the chairmen of two…
Judge Andrew Napolitano Emerges as Fox News’ Lonely Truth-Teller By Maxwell Tani The Daily Beast December 31, 2018 It was not long ago that Judge Andrew Napolitano was among the cable news stars least likely to be viewed as an anti-Trump truth teller. The Fox News judicial analyst caused a minor diplomatic incident weeks after President Trump took office by claiming on air that British intelligence officials wiretapped Trump at the behest of the Obama administration. The assertion was parroted by the White House and the president himself, garnering media attention and infuriating British officials (who vehemently denied…
By Greg Norman Fox News December 31, 2018 An American-Palestinian dual national reportedly was sentenced Monday to life in prison with “hard labor” for trying to sell land to Israelis — extending an incarceration that has already drawn the ire of the U.S. ambassador. A Palestinian court convicted Issam Akel, who has been held since Oct. 10, of “attempting to sever parts of Palestinian land and annex it to a foreign state,” Reuters reported, citing a judiciary spokesperson.

Nick Foles Has Done It Again, Of Course By Shawn Cooke Deadspin December 31, 2018 Although it seemed unlikely coming into Sunday, and even more unlikely several weeks out, we all kind of knew this would happen. The Nick Foles-led miracle Eagles have scratched their way back into the playoffs, edging out the Minnesota Vikings for the NFC’s second Wild Card spot. This could only happen with some added help from, well, the Vikings, alongside a 24-0 victory over a putrid, wilting Washington team. Foles was gifted a Week 17 matchup against Washington, who’ve been sputtering along in…
By Alan Dershowitz, opinion contributor TheHill December 31, 2018 Ever since former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn was arrested for lying to FBI agents, I have argued that he had a strong defense to that charge: namely, that his lies were not material because the FBI questioned him for an illegitimate purpose — to give him an opportunity to lie, rather than to obtain information it did not already have. The question posed by the Flynn case is whether a lie can be material if the FBI already had indisputable evidence of the truthful answer and asked him…
By Mark Moore Fox News December 31, 2018 President Trump pointed to the wall former President Obama built around his Washington D.C., home as a reason Congress should fund his barrier on the southern border. “President and Mrs. Obama built/has a ten foot Wall around their D.C. mansion/compound. I agree, totally necessary for their safety and security. The U.S. needs the same thing, slightly larger version!”, Trump tweeted on Sunday afternoon. Continue Reading…..
Retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal hits Trump as immoral, dishonest By Paul LeBlanc CNN December 31, 2018 Retired four-star Army Gen.

Franklin Graham: Facebook ban was ‘personal attack toward me’ By Justin Wise TheHill December 31, 2018 Evangelist Franklin Graham on Sunday accused Facebook of personally attacking him after the company banned him from the platform for 24 hours over a post he published in 2016. “Why are they going back to 2016,” Graham, the president of the evangelism organization Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said on Fox News after discussing how the social media platform moderates content on a day-to-day basis.
