Judicial Watch has been doing yeoman’s work to get to the bottom of the entire scheme to hide Clinton communication from FOIA inquiry.  After two years of frustrating legal battles and lies from within the State Department, a federal judge has granted JW permission to depose Clinton’s staff:

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it has scheduled the depositions of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s top aides Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, as well as top State Department official Patrick Kennedy, and former State IT employee Bryan Pagliano regarding the creation and operation of Clinton’s non-government email system.  The first witness, Lewis A. Lukens, will be deposed on Wednesday, May 18.
U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan granted “discovery” to Judicial Watch into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email system.
The court noted that “based on information learned during discovery, the deposition of Mrs. Clinton may be necessary.”  The discovery arises in a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit that seeks records about the controversial employment status of Huma Abedin, former Deputy Chief of Staff to Clinton.  (more…)

Good grief.  Hillary Clinton Inc. is desperately trying to avoid the visible reality of Bernie Sanders representing the larger voice within the Democrat Party.

The Clinton machine (MSM) is working overtime pitching a wounded indian routine to their allies in the media.   The professional party apparatus is now blaming Bernie Sanders supporters for the Nevada Convention chaos the Clinton led democrat party created.

The customary process of DNC party officials claiming victim status and blaming the Bernie peeps for the abuse is ridiculous in the extreme.  After all, it was Bernie Sanders supporters who were intentionally shut down in Nevada.
Now the party leadership is demanding Bernie Sanders rebuke his own constituency.  Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz released a statement calling for universal condemnation of the Sanders supporters’ “troubling” attacks.
Here’s an example of how the Clinton Machine (New York Times) is pitching the latest strategy to destroy Bernie’s insurgent campaign: (more…)

The preferred narrative is gaining increasing evidence. Those who gain benefit from leveraging a cultural shift of modern feminism are working earnestly to retain it.
The phrase:  “you cannot talk down to me because I’m a woman“, traditional -arguably appropriate- ERA feminism, demanded equality in opportunity.  However, that argument has now been dropped.
Modern feminism is leveraged: “you cannot criticize me, because I’m a woman“.
The traditional demands of equality are following a predictable pattern and now invoking leveraged benefit.
Ultimately, this is the modern version of feminism, and one currently being advanced by personalities like Fox News host Megyn Kelly.  Social justice memes demanding a higher position of consideration based on (fill_in_the_blank), where this specific blank is filled with gender.
The objective determinations of skill and competency are now being clouded by lowered expectations forced by the benefactors who gain by lowering the expectation.  It is a dangerous and slippery slope to bar critical evaluation based on lowered expectations due to gender.   Such well-intentioned pathways historically lead to soft-bigotry caused by lessened expectations.
However, if Hillary Clinton is to gain nation-wide elected office her incompetence and inability must be shielded.  This is the basic motive for a growing gender-based narrative as injected into the 2016 presidential race.   The latest attempts by the Washington Post and New York Times are ultimately evidence of this intention.

The trial of Officer Edward Nero continued today with devastating testimony from Garrett Miller in support of Nero.  Miller and Nero were the two bicycle officers who originally encountered Freddie Gray.
As unbelievable as this may sound, the prosecution had never interviewed Garrett Miller before he took the stand today and destroyed the prosecution case against Edward Nero.
Miller’s testimony was compelled by the prosecution, challenged by the defense attorneys, upheld by a Maryland court order, and such compulsion is the subject of considerable ongoing legal controversy.  Garrett Miller is also charged with identical charges as his partner Edward Nero.

Today, Miller took the stand and […] said he and Nero were on bicycle patrol in the Gilmor Homes area on April 12 last year when Lt. Brian Rice radioed that he was engaged in a foot chase from nearby.
Miller testified that he never sought to clarify the purpose for the chase. Prosecutors said in opening statements that by not seeking to determine the reason for the pursuit, the officers exceeded any legal authority to detain Gray and committed an assault. (more…)

Western liberal media is stuck between a rock and a hard place when discussing Venezuela.  A decade long economic devolution as a direct result of yet another attempt at socialism is ending the same way the socialist experiment has always ended, total misery.

Venezuela is struggling both economically and politically, facing massive food shortages, regular blackouts, skyrocketing inflation and an increasingly dire public health situation. Hospitals lack beds, antibiotics, medical equipment, doctors, even running water.

What do Glenn Beck, Carly Fiorina, S.E. Cupp, Dana Perino, Zac Moffett (Romney Campaign), and Arther Brooks have in common?

They are all avowed members of the Never Trump coalition.  And according to recent media reports, they are also the names scheduled to meet with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to discuss Facebook’s ideological censorship of political views.

[…] “I want to have a direct conversation about what Facebook stands for and how we can be sure our platform stays as open as possible,” Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post last week. “The reason I care so much about this is that it gets to the core of everything Facebook is and everything I want it to be.” (link)

It should come as no surprise to discover a recent New York Times article was written as a specifically intended and targeted hit piece against a candidate who is opposed to the liberal world-view preferred by the Times.  After all, the NYT is infamous for injecting their liberal ideological views into their publications, and even admissions by former editors of using the newspaper to target ideological opponents.
The most recent story outlining candidate Donald Trump was written to provide support for Hillary Clinton and to disparage the candidacy of Trump.   To show further evidence of this intention, the woman at the center of the NYT article, a former girlfriend of Mr. Trump, is stating today the Times article was fraught with lies and manipulations of her interview.
In her own words:

This is a follow-up to an earlier story from April.  The pastor has admitted to making the entire thing up.  Whole Foods has a counter lawsuit against Pastor Jordan Brown for perpetrating fraud and defamation. No word on whether Whole Foods plans to drop their counter lawsuit. 
Doubtful the MSM will expose this admission with the same severity they pushed the original story…

(Via MSM) The Texas pastor who sued Whole Foods in April for allegedly writing a gay slur on a cake he bought withdrew his lawsuit on Monday and apologized to the supermarket chain for perpetrating a hoax, KVUE reported.
Openly gay pastor Jordan Brown said in April that he requested a cake from Whole Foods with the phrase “Love Wins” written on it, but when he received his cake there was a homophobic remark added. Brown made the accusation in an Internet video and launched a lawsuit shortly thereafter.
But alert viewers quickly pointed out that the icing style used to write “Love Wins” and the gay slur appeared to differ, and Whole Foods released surveillance video showing the cake being purchased with only “Love Wins” in writing.

Against the backlash from Facebook being exposed for controlling content based on ideological views, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced he was going to meet with “conservative voices” to discuss their concerns.
Glenn Beck subsequently announced his participation in this upcoming meeting. –SEE HERE –
It’s all smoke and mirrors folks.  This PR ruse is about the most insufferable damage control amid years of behind-the-scenes political consultation is, well, silly.
The control of Facebook and other social media platforms to push political narratives is well documented, and extends far beyond non-traditional social media.  Matt Drudge was talking about it last year (see here).  And we’ve been following it since 2010.
Consider this picture:

Yes, that’s the leadership within the House of representatives in the spring of 2014 (Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor and Kevin McCarthy) meeting with Facebook’s CEO, Zuckerberg, and COO Sheryl Sandberg, to outline how Facebook could help the House of Representative pass comprehensive immigration reform by removing oppositional viewpoint from the social media feeds.

Anderson Cooper said last week CNN had never corroborated, nor reported on, an earlier story about Hillary Clinton.  Watch. The video speaks for itself:
