Corsi Sues Mueller For $350 Million in Damages!
[WayneDupree.com] If Mueller cannot produce anything, he should be summarily dismissed from his position, and the tables turned on him for outrageously abusing the power of his office.

Dr. Jerome Corsi, an author, and conservative journalist is seeking $350 million in damages against special counsel Robert Mueller over alleged grand jury leaks and illegal surveillance. Corsi also cites constitutional violations in a federal lawsuit filed on Sunday.

Not so long ago Mueller brought Corsi in for questioning which some thought would lead to a plea negotiation. But after 40 hours of questioning, Corsi felt that Mueller was coercing him to lie when he appeared before a judge. Allegedly Mueller was asking Corsi questions about WikiLeaks and Julian Assange and whatever knowledge he had.

Corsi feels that Mueller and his team were leaking information from the questioning to the opposition media which is why he is demanding $100 million in damages and $250 million in punitive damages.

#1  The right has been under a vile and vicious attack for three years by the neo-socialist leftist mob. Bout time somebody on the right stopped rolling with the punches.

#3  I would just settle for Mueller being run naked through the streets and hung in the city center. I'm not that demanding.

#4  Mueller & government can drag the case out for years and years, until long after Corsi dies a natural death of old age, or goes broke funding the suit.

"Home equity" in multimillion$ Canadian mansions offered in bail negotiations
[StraitsTimes] VANCOUVER - Police in the Canadian city of Vancouver are investigating an early morning break-in on Sunday (Dec 9) at the home of Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou, who was arrested on US fraud allegations over a week ago.

Ms Meng's husband, Mr Liu Xiaozong, is listed as the owner of the house. In an affidavit read by her lawyer in court last Friday, Ms Meng said she and her husband bought the six-bedroom house in 2009.

In 2016, they bought a second property, a brick-and-glass mansion set in a 21,000 sq ft lot assessed at C$16.3 million. Purchased with mortgages from HSBC, she has offered to post the family's equity in both as part of her bail, reported Bloomberg.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Claims Jewish Ancestry at Hanukkah Party
[Breitbart] Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed Sunday night at a Hanukkah party in New York that she has Jewish ancestry.

"A very, very long time ago, generations and generations ago, my family consisted of Sephardic Jews ... During the Spanish Inquisition, so many people were forced to convert on the exterior to Catholicism, but on the interior continued to practice their faith ... some of those people landed in Puerto Rico," she told a left-wing group, Jews For Racial And Economic Justice.
I read somewhere that historically between a quarter and half of the Jews in a given community converted to the majority religion in every generation since the fall of the Second Temple in 76 AD. The surprise is only that more people have not yet discovered they have some fraction of Jewish ancestry. If she is not actively a member of the Jewish community at least, or converted to Judaism at most, it matters no more than having a few ancestors from any other ethnic or racial group of humanity.

#1  Please give something a bit more specific than tall tales of Christianized Jews landing in Puerto Rico in the 1600's. And how you, of unknown providence, somehow now identify with these people.

Be safe; go with Cherokees. You got the high cheekbones and no one's going to give you a problem about this. Plus you can still take shots on Catholicism with impunity.

#2  If I had to guess I'd say she is part jackass.

#3  Cologne had a flourishing Jewish community in the 4th century already. So her claim is rather irrelevant.

#4  Face validity says no. Have yet to meet a dumbass jew.

#6  If I had to guess I'd say she is part jackass.

Heh. And probably more than 1/1024.

#7  My thoughts exactly P2K. She's so dumb she didn't draw the parallel with Fauxcahontas. I say give her a 23andMe DNA test for free and let her run with it.

#13  I've mentioned it before. In Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail there's a picture of an anguished looking Hubert Humphrey with the caption "I was once a Jew myself..."

#17  She has got to be a sloppy drunk.

I wonder what she's like when she's not under the influence.
Posted by: gorb || 12/11/2018 21:17 Comments || Top||

#18  Cologne had a flourishing Jewish community in the 4th century already.

The Yemenite Jews claim they were a trade delegation from King Solomon to the Queen of Sheba; the Persian Jews date back to the fall of the first Temple in Jerusalem in 587 BC.

But if our girl is eating chorizo and such, hre family has long since stopped practicing Judaism secretly.
