Newt Gingrich on Veritas Videos: 'Where's the FBI?'
[PJ] In the wake of the two bombshell Project Veritas videos that show Democratic operatives engaging in nefarious and possibly illegal campaign activities, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has a pointed question:

"Where is the FBI, why is the FBI not investigating this?" he asked, "You have a deliberate, willful effort to foment violence, to break up a presidential campaign, [and] to intimidate voters."

Gingrich joined Sean Hannity on Fox News Tuesday evening to discuss the undercover video tapes released by James O'Keefe's Project Veritas. The former speaker said that there needs to be an investigation into the Clinton campaign right now, because there is direct evidence linking one of the miscreants to the Clinton campaign: "We also now have actual checks cut by the campaign to one of the operatives," Gingrich noted.

"I know [FBI Director Jim] Comey's in the tank for Hillary but he has some obligation to enforce the law and the FBI should be opening up an investigation...right now," Gingrich said.

Gingrich went on to insist that Speaker Ryan and Majority Leader McConnell draft a letter to to Director Comey and Attorney General Loretta Lynch demanding an immediate investigation. "Insist that the FBI, NOW, immediately, before the election, investigate this," he said.

"It's amazing how fast the Obama administration could get FBI agents to a variety of places that fit their agenda -- this is not about politics ... this is about a fundamental threat to our democracy."
Con't.
Emphasis added.

#1  Where's the FBI? Newt, you're using sarcasm--right? I'd say they are Comey is busy cleaning up some computer stuff of Hillary so she can get elected.

#2  An arrest is made in Czechoslovakia and a Russian hacker is nabbed. LinkedIn suggested that the arrest was tied to a 2012 breach of member information. Lets see, four years after the event the FBI announces an arrest. That's about par for the course. Remember, the FBI announced (incorrectly) that the Mafia was done for -- twenty years or so after an investigation was instituted. It announced that it had arrested the Soviet mole operating within the FBI -- five years after he began. "Slow" does not begin to explain operational speed within the FBI.

Latest Project Veritas Video Exposes DNC's Plan To Use Women Against Trump Supporters
[MRCtv] Ready for round six, folks?

James O’Keefe’s organization, Project Veritas Action (PVA), released yet another video Wednesday afternoon titled, "DNC Schemes to Bully Women at Trump Rally."

In this video, the Democratic National Committee’s Rapid Response Coordinator and associate at Democracy Partners, Aaron Black, talks about how they can use verbally abusive and antagonistic women at Trump rallies to incite a "bullying" response from male Trump supporters.
Click on the headline to see the video at the link. I see that on the left side of things they're saying these people were speaking in hypotheticals, not describing actual actions.

#1  Hypotheticals as a rebuttal against the Project veritas revelations? The guy that quit yesterday who was the focus of the previous video, visited the White House 342 times!!!!!!!!! If that doesn't convince you that Josh Ernest is an utter tool and liar, and that this administration is ac corrupt as sin, you are less intelligent than a houseplant!

#2  it wasn't hypothetical. Sacked Clinton staffer Scott Foval bragged here about paying this elderly woman to "bird dog" at a Trump rally

she actually pretended she was punched and fell on the ground. She was never punched.

But the headlines across all media said she was punched and people were then prosecuted for the fake crime.

It is not fake, and it would still be going on if it wasn't exposed by James O'Keefe.

Scott Foval was only sacked because he was caught.

Bob Creamer was only sacked because he was caught

and worse: Trump supporters tried to share the link to the evidence with the reporters who wrote the stories yesterday

and their tweets were shadow-banned by twitter.

Video: Madonna Offers Fellatio To Clinton Voters
[The Lid] WARNING GRAPHIC LANGUAGE:
There were people I spoke to today who actually said that this election could not get any grosser, I blame this story on them.
Obviously a desperate attempt to gain the attention of male voters.
Introducing Amy Schumer at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night, pop singer Madonna offered to trade fellatio for Hillary Clinton votes :

"If you vote for Hillary Clinton I will give you a blowjob," Madonna told a packed crowd at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, first reported by The Hill."And I’m good," boasted the 58-year-old Queen of Pop, during her opening act for comedian Amy Schumer."I am not a douche, and I am not a tool. I take my time,I maintain eye contact, and I do....."

#3  I'll pass. Check with "Slick Willy" a.k.a. "BJ" Clinton. He might jump on this.

#4  I like the comment: I wouldn’t succumb to that offer even if I could borrow someone else’s manhood. Isn't this solicitation on the part of Madonna. Thought that was illegal.

But nothing to see here, this is just locker-room talk, right?

#5  She really should consider matrimony. It generally results in the termination of such activity.

#7  Her various STDs are an extra bonus.

#8  Would you want to put yours anywhere near ole Pennicilian Penny, aka Madonna?

#15  Wouldn't take her up on it, even back in the 80s she was shady.

#16  Give her a break. She's creating more jobs than Hillary ever will.

Of course Obama would say: You didn't build that!

Here's Who Won The Debate, According To The Internets
[Daily Caller] Donald Trump won the third and final presidential debate -- or at least that's what you'd think if you were reading the Internet Wednesday night.

As the two candidates went head to head for 90 minutes onstage at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, it was clear that the Republican nominee had won the Internet over.

In a poll run on the Drudge Report near the end of the debate, 76 percent of voters believed that Trump defeated Clinton handily, while 24 percent thought she had won.

It's worth noting that voters didn't seem to think Trump performed as well as he did in St. Louis, when he garnered 92 percent of the Drudge poll.
Con't.

#1  Far as I'm concerned, there are only two things everyone needs to know about Hillary.
(a) Her entire life is one long crime story.
(b) If elected, she'll surpass her previous record in the first 10 days in office.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 10/20/2016 6:25 Comments || Top||

#2  Part (b) If elected, she'll surpass her previous record in the first 10 days in office; she will steal the country this time around and many people will die. (Well, maybe in the first 100 days).
Posted by: JohnQC || 10/20/2016 7:14 Comments || Top||

#3  I know it happened long ago and is passe' but I wonder why the Trump campaign didn't mention the siege at Waco where the Branch Davidians were immolated. I know the Clintons had to burn out the children to save them--it was for the children. Trump could have mentioned the dangers to our citizens of another Clinton administration.
Posted by: JohnQC || 10/20/2016 7:51 Comments || Top||

#4  Excellent point John. I was so wishing Trump would have said (after about the 4th reference to children:

'Yea right, it's all about the children, except when they are still in the womb.'

#5  Trump CANNOT be allowed to win by so many people because there is so much rot.

A root kit gets installed on Yahoo servers by the corrupt Feds, a kit that allows the Feds to do anything they want without anyone knowing it, except it was poorly written and now millions of accounts have been compromised by hackers.

Yahoo is media, the judicial branch approved it, the legislative branch, dems and pubs know about it, it is a breach against the American people that the globalists want to minimize anyway.

No OUTSIDERS allowed in the swamp.

#6  Yahoo is media

Yes, and very LEFTEST media at that. It amazes me how slanted their reporting and articles are.
Posted by: Besoeker || 10/20/2016 8:08 Comments || Top||

#7  The wife said similar things about the debate. She said who speaks for the rights of the unborn. Trump could have mentioned Doctor Kermit Gosnell.
Posted by: JohnQC || 10/20/2016 8:08 Comments || Top||

#8  Yahoo is LEFTIST because it is run by a Hillary Clinton feminazi who supports the feminist movement first and then the Obama regime next.

The same regime that announced that they were going to strike Russia with cyber warfare. The Russians who as a result of that stupid threat is placing equipment along undersea internet routes. The Russians who have Snowden who knew how to do that for the NSA before he blew the whistle on them and defected. A tapping into the internet backbone to punish the US by shutting down the entire world economy by strategically shutting down the world's critical economic communications network.

#9  Thanks Clyde. I was going to Publix today anyway. Perhaps I should take the truck.

#11  Is Batboy even a citizen? Never mind, that doesn't matter this election.

Iraq
OPINION: In Mosul, ISIS and others, have fallen
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The fall of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
into the hands of ISIS two years ago came as a shock. Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki relinquished power even though the world thought it was impossible to make him step aside despite the end of his term. With the fall of Mosul, many such allegations fell apart as well.

Maliki seemed obsessed with the idea of absolute authority. He thought that by harming Sunni opposition powers in parliament, getting them out of the government, sending forces to Anbar to discipline them and burning their tents will eliminate terrorism as well as the opposition. At least that is how he sold the story to the Iraqi people.
