    FOX NEWS, January 25, 2019
    WASHINGTON — Roger Stone, longtime political adviser to President
    Trump and the Trump Presidential Campaign, has been indicted on
    charges of obstruction, making false statements and witness tampering
    as part of DOJ Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s wide-ranging Russia
    campaign conspiracy and collusion probe.

    The Mueller indictment includes references to Stone’s prior knowledge
    of WikiLeaks releasing hacked emails of Democrats during the 2016
    campaign, Russian hacking efforts to provide Wikileaks with those
    emails, and persons within the Trump Campaign requesting further
    hacked campaign opponent emails.

    A spokesman for Mueller’s office said Stone, 66, was arrested in Fort
    Lauderdale on Friday morning after being indicted by a federal grand
    jury a day earlier.

    Stone will make an initial appearance later Friday before U.S.
    Magistrate Judge Lurana S. Snow at the federal courthouse in Fort
    Lauderdale.

  2. “….sought stolen emails at the direction of senior Trump Campaign officials.”

    “Well. I didn’t know about it. And I didn’t tell them to do it. And I wasn’t trying to cover it up.” (Donald Trump)

    “But we have tapes.” (DOJ)

    “I don’t care. I don’t care if Russia got him elected. I don’t care if he’s guilty of giving up US agents to Putin so he can kill them. All I care about is keeping people who aint white out of the country.” (White Nationalist)

      The Left’s War against White Males
      By Jeannie DeAngelis

      “Just as community organizer Saul Alinsky, in his textbook for Marxist street thugs, Rules for Radicals, advised his minions, constant drumbeats have the potential to wear down resolve and win social and cultural wars. For years now, the object of left-wing pressure has been to undermine the status and reputation of straight white conservative males.

      To eradicate the white guy problem in America, Caucasians with XY chromosomes, who self-identify as the sex they were at birth, are being portrayed by the left as misogynist, bigoted, homophobic, violent troublemakers in need of exposure; chastisement; and, in the case of Donald Trump, ousting from power.”…

      “Today, even a male Supreme Court justice nominee, if he is Christian, white, and pro-life, can be falsely accused of rape by an unstable female activist, flayed alive, and condemned in the court of public opinion by virtue of race, gender, and ethnic heritage.

      Unwilling to let a visual opportunity go to waste, the left has somehow managed to influence public opinion concerning the political merits of pink versus red. According to progressives, on the head of a female, a pink p—- hat is a commendable accessory, while on the head of a male, a red MAGA cap is akin to Hester Prynne donning a scarlet letter or analogous to a white hood of the KKK.”….

      “In the end, to advance an agenda, progressives will continue to hammer away at white conservative males – both dead and alive – as well as attempt to establish a radical vision for our nation by undermining the reputation of any man who longs to see America made great again.”

        • no. no its not.
          what it is, is the ramblings of a white nationalist scared he is losing his grip
          hes right to be scared. he is losing.

          • He should be scared and so should you if you’re white. You probably live in Newburgh and you know why you moved, you probably used to live on the southeast side of Evansville.

      • Is the author married to Joey?

        And for the record, the Saul Alinsky community organizer BS is old, tired, and never was accurate OR relevant, but the right-wing needs a “monster in the closet” to try and scare everyone

        Jeannie DeAngelis’s is a right-wing nutjob blogger who yammers about issues that ostensibly reveal a lot about…well, herself, mostly.

        For Breitbart she threw a fit because Obama had an iconic Norman Rockwell painting installed temporarily in the White House. According to DeAngelis “The President’s taste in artwork indicates that America’s ‘post-racial president’ may be secretly nursing a deep-seated wound. It’s either that, or he’s uninterested in fostering unity. Barack’s behavior has exposed yet another example of his duplicitous insincerity. Because when it comes to the ‘ugliest religious episode in U.S. history,’ the President has been more than willing to extend the same level of forgiveness and understanding to Muslim Americans that hanging Norman Rockwell’s disquieting painting deprives white America. Choosing to present such an explosive representation of prejudice toward blacks outside the office of an American president is on par with the message Muslim Americans might get if Obama displayed a painting of September 11th hijacker-pilot Mohammed Atta preparing to crash into the World Trade Towers”

        The analogy does tell you something about DeAngelis’s mind (or lack of one)

        Apart from that, she covers the usual right-wing crap, from global warming denialism (a conspiracy) to accusing Obama of forcing companies to subsidize abortions through Obamacare as part of a concerted effort to eliminate Christians

        According to DeAngelis, Muslims are exempted from the health care mandate because Obama is really on their side, that he “acquiesces, without question, to the tenets of the Koran”

        And, after lamenting the ills of contraception and gay marriage, she concludes with a rhetorical question “as to why a President so focused on controlling so many Americans’ reproductive habits”

        No, self-awareness is not her strong suit

        And commenting on an effort to photoshop the Obama family onto a picture of a chimpanzee family, DeAngelis had to ask “why, in some circles, does an image of a monkey instantly evoke racial overtones?”

        Well, I don’t know how to answer that one in a manner that would make the answer intelligible to her, but can we at least wager the bet that DeAngelis doesn’t have many black friends?

        I have no idea what she’s smoking, but at least it gives her few inhibitions when it comes to exposing her own deranged psyche to the public

        Just like Joey, she has spent years mouthing off and ranting online and is just mad that not a thing she yammers about comes true, but she chooses to waste time and space trying to be relevant (and failing miserably)

  3. I heard this week that Eagle Valley golf course was for sale for 2 years before EVSC bought it. The asking price was 2 million. Why did they pay 3.4 million for it? You wonder why your taxes are high.

  4. “An overwhelming majority of American voters say they want to see a crackdown on crimes committed by illegal aliens living in the United States.

    The latest Harvard/Harris Poll reveals that more than 80 percent of American voters either strongly or somewhat support a crackdown on illegal alien crime.

    This includes 96 percent of Republican voters, 70 percent of Democrat voters, and 79 percent of swing voters. A crackdown on illegal alien crime also has widespread support across racial demographic groups.”

    • You’re having a bad day JoeBiden. Get that. Heat is getting bad!
      Trump is looking horrible on all counts, he’s a liar on the imaginary wall,
      there ain’t no pesos to pay for it, he’s getting fatter, and fatter.

      And the White Nationalists? They’re losing power Joe:

      Breaking:
      WHITE NATIONALIST STRIPPED OF OFFICE OF UNITED STATES
      CONGRESSIONAL CHAIR AND COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS

      WASHINGTON—Iowa Republican Steve King was stripped of his committee
      assignments by fellow Republican Party members for espousing and
      supporting White Supremacy and White Nationalism in the United States.
      House GOP and Republican leaders made the decision Monday night.
      The disgraced King had previously sat on the Judiciary panel and
      Agriculture Committee, an important position for an Iowan.

      GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) and GOP Senate Leader
      Mitch McConnell (R. Kentucky) both said Monday that Mr. King’s white
      nationalist language has no place in the Republican Party and the
      decision by GOP leaders was unanimous.

      • Wayne:

        Ever notice how Joey is incapable and/terrified to ever answer us?

        Says a lot when all he can do is copy-and-paste they latest loads of right-wing BS without the ability to offer anything he does not have spoon-fed to him

        Think I will have some more jelly beans

    • Joey, Joey, Joey. Obfuscation of the issues at hand once again

      Below is the letter sent, and I challenge you to point out where leniency was requested. You cannot do it, but what the heck, I’m gonna post the ACTUAL letter all the same

      So are you griping that letters were also sent from a Minneapolis City Council member, a Minneapolis Public Schools dean of students, and several youth program coordinators? Or are you following the Trump/Stone playbook for racist blame assignment?

      Her letter to the judge was:

      Honorable Judge Davis,

      As you undoubtedly deliberate with great caution the sentencing of nine recently convicted Somali-American men, I bring to your attention the ramifications of sentencing young men who made a consequential mistake to decades in federal prison. Incarcerating 20-year-old men for 30 or 40 years is essentially a life sentence. Society will have no expectations of the to be 50 or 60-year-old released prisoners; it will view them with distrust and revulsion. Such punitive measures not only lack efficacy, they inevitably create an environment in which extremism can flourish, aligning with the presupposition of terrorist recruitment: “Americans do not accept you and continue to trivialize your value. Instead of being a nobody, be a martyr.”

      The best deterrent to fanaticism is a system of compassion. We must alter our attitude and approach; if we truly want to affect change, we should refocus our efforts on inclusion and rehabilitation. A long-term prison sentence for one who chose violence to combat direct marginalization is a statement that our justice system misunderstands the guilty. A restorative approach to justice assesses the lure of criminality and addresses it.

      The desire to commit violence is not inherent to people — it is the consequences of systematic alienation; people seek violent solutions when the process established for enacting change is inaccessible to them. Fueled by disaffection turned to malice, if the guilty were willing to kill and be killed fighting perceived injustice, imagine the consequence of them hearing, “I believe you can be rehabilitated. I want you to become part of my community, and together we will thrive.” We use this form of distributive justice for patients with chemical dependencies; treatment and societal reintegration. The most effective penance is making these men ambassadors of reform.

      The restorative approach provides a long-term solution – though the self-declared Islamic State may soon suffer defeat, their radical approach to change-making will continue as it has throughout history – by criminalizing the undergirding construct rather than its predisposed victims. Therein, this ruling can set a precedent and has the potential to be a landmark case in addressing extremism.

      Thank you for your careful attention,

      Ilhan Omar
      State Representative-Elect – MN 60B

  6. Illegal Alien Sentenced to 401 Years in Prison For Kidnapping, Rape, Lewd Sex Acts Upon a Child Under the Age of 14

    “Visalia, California – 39-year-old Macario Cerda is an illegal alien who was sentenced to 401 years-to-life in prison for numerous violent sex crimes.

    Cerda terrorized the family of the woman he was in a relationship with. He raped the woman’s two minor daughters; one of the rapes even resulted in a pregnancy and birth of a child.

    Cerda was convicted by a jury of crimes against two victims consisting of three counts of forcible rape, one count of kidnapping to commit rape, one count of criminal threats and seven counts of lewd acts upon a child under the age of 14, according to a press release by Tulare County District Attorney Tim Ward”….

    “Cerda has a history of violent crimes against women and children and according to the DA press release, Cerda was deported ‘way too many times,’ yet he kept illegally re-entering the United States”….

    ““This family will never have to live in fear of Cerda returning to terrorize them again. He will be serving his remaining days in a California prison,” stated District Attorney Tim Ward. “Criminals can, and will, find their way back to hurt the vulnerable. The courage of these women to stand up and rally back against this heartless predator is what gives all of us strength to battle for justice. This time, he is not coming back.”

    So now the American taxpayer has to pay for this illegal alien child rapist to eat and breathe in prison.

    The Democrats refuse to work with President Trump on border security.

    The Democrats would rather have child rapists like Macario Cerda in the country terrorizing women and children than work with the President to secure the southern border.”

    • This is a tragedy, but trying to use the ignorance of Gateway (home to “The Stupidest Man On The Internet”) is laughable.

      Maybe we should look at the right-wingers in the Republican party, and their history of pedophilia, child molestation, rape, pornography, and other disgusting acts. Note that this is only a PARTIAL list:

      Republican legislator Peter Dibble pleaded no contest to having an inappropriate relationship with a 13-year-old girl.

      Republican Congressman Donald “Buz” Lukens was found guilty of having sex with a female minor

      Republican fundraiser Richard A. Delgaudio was found guilty of child porn charges and paying two teenage girls to pose for sexual photos.

      Republican activist Mark A. Grethen convicted on six counts of sex crimes involving children.

      Republican activist Randal David Ankeney pleaded guilty to attempted sexual assault on a child.

      Republican activist and Christian Coalition leader Beverly Russell admitted to an incestuous relationship with his step daughter.

      Republican preacher Stephen White, who demanded a return to traditional values, was sentenced to jail after offering $20 to a 14-year-old boy for permission to perform oral sex on him.

      Republican anti-gay activist Earl “Butch” Kimmerling was sentenced to 40 years in prison for molesting an 8-year old girl after he attempted to stop a gay couple from adopting her.

    Pelosi Wins (AGAIN) As Trump Caves and Agrees To Three-Week, Short-Term Funding Bill

    NO MONEY FOR WALL

    It’s the 35th day of the partial government shutdown, payday for federal workers in which 800,000 of them got paychecks for $0.00. It’s bad enough that even popular vote loser Donald Trump finally had to cry “uncle”

    In a Rose Garden speech Friday, with Nancy Pelosi’s Jimmy Choo stuck in his ass, he announced he had agreed to sign a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government through February 15

    “Everyone knows I have a very powerful alternative.” That would be the total not-emergency emergency declaration that is not happening.

    The plan, according to Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer’s office, is for both the House and the Senate to pass the CR by unanimous consent today, Friday and to begin a conference between the House and Senate on funding for the Department of Homeland Security immediately. Spending bills have been agreed to by both chambers on the other agencies that have been caught up in Trump’s drive-by shutdown

    Do you know what this is? It’s a win for Nancy Pelosi. Her second one in a week. Trump backed down on the State of the Union address, and now he’s reopening the government without wall funding

    Oh, and about that SOTU Speaker Pelosi? No SOTU until there’s permanent funding. For everything

    (Someone should do a welfare check on JoeBiden and Wes Cider after this)

    • RR, let me guess. You are or were a professor in a liberal arts college, drive a Prius and protested Trump’s last visit to Evansville.
