[BREITBART] The Allegheny Court of Common Pleas on Monday struck down Pittsburgh’s ban on the use of AR-15s inside city limits.
Breitbart News reported Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto (D) signed the ban on AR-15 usage April 9, 2019. WJAC reported other aspects of the gun control banned "most uses of armor-piercing ammunition and high-capacity magazines." The controls signed by Peduto were also intended to allow guns to be seized from individuals via a Red Flag Law.
WESA reported Allegheny County Judge Joseph James found all the controls "void and unenforceable," due to the state’s preemption statute.
A preemption law means a city or municipality is barred from passing gun controls that exceed those existing at the state level.

And they are going to appeal. At what point do the voters decide they'd like their tax dollars used for something like, oh, fixing water main breaks that cause sink holes. One of their sports teams is going to ask for a new stadium any day now too.

[Townhall] CBS News is reporting that Tim Morrison, the National Security Council's Senior Director for European Affairs, testified before Congress on Thursday that he heard nothing illegal on the phone call between President Donald J. Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Morrison also reportedly testified that the transcript released by the White House was accurate.
“I want to be clear, I was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed,” former NSC Senior Director for European Affairs Tim Morrison testified today, according to Sean Davis.
"My recollection is that Ambassador Sondland’s proposal to [Ukrainian National Security Advisor Andriy] Yermak was that it could be sufficient if the new Ukrainian prosecutor general — not President Zelensky — would commit to pursue the Burisma investigation, Morrison testified according to the Federalist.
“I am pleased our process gave the president the confidence he needed to approve the release of the security sector assistance,” he added. “I am proud of what I have been able, in some small way, to help the Trump administration accomplish."

Every Demonrat president and vice president should be immediately impeached and removed if the Republicans hold congress, and once they're gone, just start removing judges as well. Let's play by their rules.
[RedState] On Tuesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced that the House would be voting on a resolution that was going to guarantee transparency and rules in the ’impeachment’ proceeding which Democrats have been pushing.
But Democrats were still up to their old tricks on Wednesday, locking people out of proceedings. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) was told the secret proceedings would continue.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is now taking action.
He’s filed an ethics complaint after the Star Chamber leader, House Intel Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-CA). Normally, actual impeachment proceedings would proceed out of the Judiciary Committee, which would have been under that Chair, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY). But Pelosi delegated it to Schiff instead, another break from precedent and proper procedure.
Gaetz’s complaint alleges that Schiff’s handling of the proceedings has been full of unethical actions, including "distorting @POTUS ’s call with President Zelensky, lying to the public about ’Russian collusion’, and blocking members of Congress from attending impeachment depositions,"

[PJMedia.] If you've been paying attention for the past 12 years or so, you may have noticed that Barack Obama tends to contradict himself. He'll say one thing at one point, and then at another point he'll say the complete opposite. And both times he really means it! I don't know how much of it is intentional and how much is just his own lack of self-awareness, but I call it Past Obama vs. Present Obama.
Here's Present Obama just yesterday, good-naturedly but firmly scolding Past Obama about wokeness and callout culture:
"This idea of purity, and you're never compromised, and you're always politically 'woke' and all that stuff, you should get over that quickly. The world is messy. There are ambiguities. People who do really good stuff have flaws. People who you are fighting may love their kids and share certain things with you. And I think one danger I see among young people, particularly on college campuses... and this is accelerated by social media, there is this sense sometimes of, 'The way of me making change is to be as judgmental as possible about other people, and that's enough.' Like, if I tweet or hashtag about how you didn't do something right, or used the wrong verb... then I can sit back and feel pretty good about myself. 'Cause man, you see how woke I was? I called you out... That's not activism. That's not bringing about change. If all you're doing is casting stones, you're probably not going to get that far."
"If you don't leave the peasants any illusions they'll stop producing, and then what will happen to us?"

Soetoro is smart. He knows his John Brennan and Clapper stuff is weak with AG Barr and company. We may soon see the unthinkable, Soetoro endorsing policies of President Trump.

Our nation is being held hostage. Not by terrorists. Not by a foreign nation. No, it is being held hostage by the likes of Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi and their accomplices in the House of Representatives as they once again try to reset the narrative of the Trump presidency. For two days, we heard rumblings that Thursday would be the day the House finally voted to endorse impeachment proceedings against the president. Now, and it really shouldn’t surprise anyone, they’ve changed their tune. The vote isn’t going to be endorsing the proceedings. Oh no. All they’re going to do is decide how to hold the public hearings. The real question,‐and one the mainstream media isn’t asking‐is why the change?
There are any number of possible answers. The Dems want to keep the talk of impeachment front and center during the election season. They are so inept they can’t figure out how to hold the hearings. Or, my personal favorite, what the witnesses have been telling them is far from what has been leaked to the media. In other words, they know they don’t have enough evidence to impeach the president but they are so deep into their own fantasy world that they can’t admit they’ve failed, even to themselves.
This would certain explain why Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, "is reportedly telling witnesses testifying not to answer questions asked by Republican lawmakers."

Is there a single #Resistance-leading parent among our political / media elites who send his or her kids to public schools?
In California these shits have banded together with the public schoolteachers union to put the screws to charter schools - not just to corrupt outliers but to ALL the charter schools.
And these pathetic virtue-signaling shits send their kids to private schools.
Good God, what a shitty political class has been foisted on this nation.

Conrad Black is worth reading just for how he uses language — but he then uses it to say such thought-provoking things. Long, but highly recommended.
May we one day soon look back to find he was right in every particular.
Also submitted by Beavis and 3dc. :-) This article is an amalgamation of key bits from the much longer original at the link. It should be noted, though, that a trusted source mentioned that it is rumoured the gentleman described below is merely a decoy to distract attention from the real whistleblower. No doubt we will discover the truth of it all soon enough, President Trump having displayed a fondness for sunshine.
[RealClearInvestigations] For a town that leaks like a sieve, Washington has done an astonishingly effective job keeping from the American public the name of the anonymous "whistleblower" who triggered impeachment proceedings against President Trump; even though his identity is an open secret inside the Beltway.
- Registered Democrat
- Worked for Obama
- Worked with Joe Biden
- Worked for CIA Director John Brennan
- Vocal critic of Trump
- Helped initiate the Russia "collusion" investigation hoax
33-year-old Eric Anthony Ciaramella, a registered Democrat held over from the Obama White House, previously worked with former Vice President Joe Biden and former CIA Director John Brennan, a vocal critic of Trump who helped initiate the Russia "collusion" investigation of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.
Eric Ciaramella, a class of 2004 Connecticut prep student: He later moved on to Yale and the White House. Now he could be at the center of an impeachment storm.
Also, Ciaramella huddled for “guidance” with the staff of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, including former colleagues also held over from the Obama era whom Schiff’s office had recently recruited from the NSC. (Schiff is the lead prosecutor in the impeachment inquiry.)
Ciaramella worked with a Democratic National Committee operative who dug up dirt on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, inviting her into the White House for meetings, former White House colleagues said. The operative, Alexandra Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American who supported Hillary Clinton.
Also, engaged Alexandra Chalupa, DNC oppo researcher was invited to the Obama White House by Ciaramella.
She visited the White House with a number of Ukrainian officials lobbying the Obama administration for aid for Ukraine.
Federal records show that Biden’s office invited Ciaramella to an October 2016 state luncheon the vice president hosted for Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. Other guests included Brennan, as well as then-FBI Director James Comey and then-National Intelligence Director James Clapper.
Several U.S. officials told RealClearInvestigations that the invitation that was extended to Ciaramella, a relatively low-level GS-13
He was held over into the Trump administration, and headed the Ukraine desk at the NSC, eventually transitioning into the West Wing, until June 2017. "He was moved over to the front office" to temporarily fill a vacancy, said a former White House official, where he "saw everything, read everything."
Eric Ciaramella (pronounced char-a-MEL-ah) left his National Security Council posting in the White House's West Wing in mid-2017 amid concerns about negative leaks to the media. He has since returned to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
“He was accused of working against Trump and leaking against Trump,” said a former NSC official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.
Ciaramella left the Trump White House soon after Mueller was appointed. Attempts to reach Ciaramella were unsuccessful, although his father said in a phone interview from Hartford, where he is a bank executive, that he doubted his son was the whistleblower.
In May 2017, Ciaramella went "outside his chain of command," according to a former NSC co-worker, to send an email alerting another agency that Trump happened to hold a meeting with Russian diplomats in the Oval Office the day after firing Comey, who led the Trump-Russia investigation. The email also noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin had phoned the president a week earlier.
Contents of the email appear to have ended up in the media, which reported Trump boasted to the Russian officials about firing Comey, whom he allegedly called "crazy, a real nut job."
In effect, Ciaramella helped generate the "Putin fired Comey" narrative, according to the research dossier making the rounds in Congress, a copy of which was obtained by RealClearInvestigations.
Ciaramella allegedly argued that "President Putin suggested that President Trump fire Comey," the report said.
As others have noted, Ciaramella linked to Nuland (who promoted Steele reports throughout State Dept. to influence 2016 election). This email directly related to Biden threatening to withhold Billion dollar loan guarantee (If not mistaken). Same timeframe as Pinchuk sponsored mtg

Chalupa is tied to a convicted domestic terrorist/drug dealer, first convicted of perjury (and frequent practitioner of it since), who travelled overseas to try to find dirt on Trump. This terrorist/drug dealer has led a charmed life, seemingly protected by Democrats ever since he made the claim he once sold pot to a kid who went on to be a U.S. Vice President.

'Eric Salmonella was a CIA analyst and expert on Ukraine and Russia. He was detailed to the Obama White House NSC as Director of Baltic and Eastern European Affairs including Ukraine. Ciaramella was a known Susan Rice protege. He is said to have traveled to Ukraine with Vice President Joe Biden twice.'

^ #6 devastating web, Dron. It's mind-boggling that McMaster allowed this traitorous little shut to be his top personal aide . Did Ciaramella really have access, via McMaster, to all of Trump's conversations with foreign leaders?
Unbelievable. If true, then this little shit is the messenger boy at the center of the coup effort.
The ties to Clinton hatchet man and Steele Shitshow PR man Sid Blumenthal, to Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Pinchuk and to the rabidly anti-Russian Dept conspirator and troublemaker Victoria Nuland are especially interesting. Also the tie to Italy's Matteo Renzi and the CIA cats paw, the Maltese agent operating out of Rome, Joseph Milsud, who tried to entrap Papadopolous and turn him against Trump.
Burisma is the tip of the iceberg. The conspiracy here leads back to Hillary's campaign and Obama's CIA and State Dept people, and it involves foreign agents drawn from countries across Europe-- Ukrainians, Italians, Brits, a Maltese, Australians.
No wonder Barr flew to Europe for his investigation.
This little weasel Ciaramella was just one of many leakers but he was connected to everyone.
Thank God we outed him as early as we did. If these people were not so clownishly, blatantly, astonishingly incompetent -- cf Sid Blumenthal's history of beclowning himself as a Clinton shill, or Nuland's disastrous efforts in Ukraine, or Biden's Burisma Bro's, to take three egregious examples -- if these people weren't such clowns, they'd be terrifying.
As it is, they're just barkers, ringmasters and clown car drivers in the Shitshow of Shitshows.
But now we need to bring their Shitshow to an end. Bring down the tent. Never again. Before a truly competent cabal actually does pull off a coup and end our Republic.

Trump's big mistake was his failure to get rid of all the Obama holdovers the minute he first walked into the White House. Is there some law that kept him from doing that? If so, it needs to be repealed. How can a president govern if he can't trust his staff?

IMO there was never an actual whistleblower. It was simply Schiff being a falsehood leaker. But now the pressure is on and there is a need to come up with a real body for the wb role and this dude is the fall guy.
#14
It was easy for Brennan, Comey, Hillary, Obama and others to fabricate a phony conspiracy theory, frame Trump since the MSM was complicit. Joseph Goebbels would have been in awe. If we don`t fix this and get it right, our country long suffer.

No surprise the so-called whistleblower had ties to Biden and Brennan. No wonder Schiff said we won't be need him testify. Like every other jury-rigged, jerry-built, Dem-created scandal, this one collapses too.
[BREITBART] House Majority Whip the mealy-mouthed Steny StinkyHoyer ...Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi's second banana, or plaintain, or mango, or whatever he is. Number Two, anyway... (D-MD) has signaled he will not commit to House Democrats voting this week to formalize their secret impeachment inquiry, even after House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments... (D-CA) said a vote is expected to take place on Thursday.
"We’re going to have to consider whether or not it’s ready to go on Thursday. I hope that’s the case," Hoyer told news hounds on Tuesday when asked about the planned vote.
The House announced Monday that it will move Thursday to determine whether to establish impeachment inquiry procedures into President Trump. The text of the resolution was not immediately released, but House Rule Committee Chairman Jim McGovern (D-MA) said it would "provide a clear path forward" on the impeachment inquiry.
"This is the right thing to do for the institution and the American people," said McGovern.
Pelosi stated in a letter Monday that the resolution was not legally necessary but the House decided to take the vote "to eliminate any doubt as to whether the Trump administration may withhold documents, prevent witness testimony, disregard duly authorized subpoenas, or continue obstructing the House of Representatives."

Pelosi has no legitimacy.....the American People are not behind her. They will never take that Vote. The Democrats are holding it with two fingers because of its SMELL. Even they know.

Ref #2: Ditto! Pelosi is an aged 'dead man walking.' The far left and Deep State are awaiting the big die off. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan aka 'The Squad' are the future of the democratic party.
The Soetoro beta test was highly successful. He nearly destroyed conservatism and the nation single handedly. The Hildebeest would have finished the job. The left's strategy of identity politics, urban clustering of illegals and minorities is paying off. Additional 'squads' will be added.
This is a multi-pronged effort. The war against the Orange Man is just one aspect or front. As is often said here, 'we live in interesting times.'

No worries B. This needs to be shouted from the rooftops daily lest the uninformed drift back into the morass of delusion the left is vomiting. The truth never gets old.
[BREITBART] Former Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Governor Jerry Governor Moonbeam Brown ...Caliphornia dynastic politician, son of former governor Pat If it's Brown flush it Brown, himself occupying the Seat of All Power in Sacramento for two undistinguished terms... told Congress on Tuesday that President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... and the Republican Party were responsible for the ongoing California fires because of their opposition to drastic climate change policies.
"California’s burning while the deniers make a joke out of the standards that protect us all," Brown told the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday, as quoted by the the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... Chronicle. "The blood is on your soul here and I hope you wake up. Because this is not politics, this is life, this is morality. ... This is real."
Brown was testifying against efforts by the Trump administration to rescind California’s waiver that previously allowed it to set its own emissions standards for vehicles ‐ effectively giving the state control of the entire auto industry. The administration argues that California’s policy is actually worse for the environment because higher standards make new cars ‐ which are more energy-efficient than old cars ‐ more difficult for consumers to buy.
The ongoing California wildfires have a variety of causes. The immediate cause of the Getty Fire in Los Angeles, for example, appears to be a tree branch that was blown by high winds into power lines, according to the Los Angeles Times. Critics fault California and its utility companies for spending money on complying with "green" initiatives rather than on burying power lines. Others also cite homeless camps, where past fires have started, and poor forestry management policies that have barred the clearing of brush that can provide fuel for wildfires.
But Brown and other Democrats have identified climate change as the cuplrit, even though there is no scientific evidence to support that claim. In 2015 and in 2017, Brown also blamed climate change for wildfires in California, though scientists disagreed, calling Brown’s arguments an example of "noble-cause corruption."
California Democrats are facing new criticism at home, as utility companies have begun cutting power to electricity customers in peak fire conditions ‐ a new practice for which the state government seems to have been unprepared.
Ignition source—may be lightning, spark, match, etc.
Fuel— lots around power lines and forests not maintained.
The one thing you can do to mitigate the hazard is to reduce the fuel. This is what a rational person would do. But they are in short supply in Kaliphornia.

Picture a line of POWERLINES going up and over a hill but picture those Powerlines in California. they don't CLEAR the trees back from the Powerlines in California....no clear cutting trees away from branches falling on power lines. So lets remedy that by turning off the ELECTRICITY. And the flames are heading your way....but you can't get away because you own an environmentally safe Tesla...or was it a Prius?
No place to CHARGE your car. Lats hope you can get off the Mountain if you coast. Vote Democrat and be environmentally cool. And NEVER clear cut a hundred yards back from a power line. Its against NATURE. Do it for the Children...like your kids. The ones who burned to death in your electric Tesla.

We are led by morons.
What an unbelievably stupid, shitty political class we have.
"Pay to Play" Davis gave CA the original brownouts in 2000 when he invited Enron in as part of his corrupt, incompetently managed attempt at deregulating the energy market.
His successors incl Moonbeam foisted the renewable burden onto PG&E-- a renewables push that is laced with fraud and sweetheart deals, both potential (cf. the blatant attempt to grab billions in public funds by the Kleiner Perkins billionaire's referendum that the voters, fortunately, shot down) and actual (cf. Al Gore's idiotic electric car venture's sweetheart deals with DOE).
Scams, incompetence, and now third world style blackouts.
#15
Pete Wilson (R) is primarily to blame as he governed California during the huge economic boom of the 90s and had the money and momentum to have buried the power lines but didn't.
#16
Gray David(D), Arnold Schwarzenegger (?), Jerry Brown(D) and Gavin Newsom(D) also get some blame as the problem was there even if the piles of money weren't. They could have and should have done something but preferred to pass the buck and wag their fingers.
Also you can see Californi's problem in that list. We used to trade off between parties so one could undo the excesses of the other but Wilson really didn't do much, and Arnold was a Republican but not really and he faced a solid Dem State Senate so he was useless. After that it was Democrat after Democrat and now the balance is long gone and the state be unfixable.
#18
Gov Gavin Newsom is beginning to feel the heat of these fires because of anger over the blackouts to prevent fires.
The governor blamed the electric utilities for the cause of the fires and PG&E was driven into bankruptcy from 30 billion in legal claims.
Running high tension power lines through a forest is risky business.
Blame rural electrification (a liberal agenda)?
Or blame environmentalist because they don't allow clear cutting around power lines or
because green power requires distant generation sources so California has to bring in power from out of state.
Paradise built their town in the middle of a beautiful forest in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains
where logging was banned decades ago and fire fighting has prevented natural clearing of underbrush
and you get the Camp Fire tinder box where 85 people were burned to death because they could not get out of the forest in time.
Now there are a lot of causes that have nothing to do with global warming.
The Santa Ana winds have been around long before there was global warming.
The resultant fires were only a problem because those who couldn't afford to live in the city started to build in the foothills around Los Angeles when a run down house on a 50 ft by a 100 ft lot costs over half a million dollars.
Jerry Brown is trying to CYA for Gavin Newsom because in 2003 Dem Gray Davis was recalled and replaced by Arnold Schwarzenegger
because he failed to keep the lights on during the California electricity crisis.
The environmentalist were trying to promote green energy and prevent the building of new carbon based power plants.
Because California let energy lobbyists write legislation that required utility companies to make up the production shortfall by buying on the spot market
companies like Enron were able to game the system by creating artificial shortfalls by taking power plants offline during peak demand causing the wholesale spot market prices would soar. Please, reference the California electricity crisis
At the same time legislation capped the retail rates CA utility companies could charge its customers.
So PG&E went bankrupt and SCE almost went bankrupt
(Enron's greed caused it to overspeculate on high energy prices.
Five months after PG&E bankruptcy the 9/11 attacks occurred and energy prices immediately declined.
Enron was overleveraged but tried to cook the books so it took three months for investors to figure that Enron was bankrupt.)
During high demand the utility companies would just introduce rolling blackouts to cap peak demands
rather than be blackmailed by high spot market prices from the greedy out of state suppliers.
Gov Gray Davis declared a state of emergency but never solved the problem
because he was beholden to those who wanted a crisis to fulfill their agenda (agendas that sound a lot like current crop of presidential candidates green agendas).
So Gray Davis was recalled just like Jimmy Carter because he let the Arabs blackmail us over a barrel of oil.
Bankrupt and regulated utility companies do not invest in infrastructure so power lines will sage and fail and cause fires in the future.
Corruption causes more corruption and a downward spiral like Venezuela.
Corrupt people protect themselves by blaming others.
Hugo Chavez blamed president Bush.
Democrats blamed Bush for Katrina so we got Barack Obama.
Now Gov Brown blames Trump for global warming and California fires.
So impeach Trump to stop global warming and fires??
Or will we end up with a bankrupt nation like California which is on the verge of bankruptcy in a booming economy if we give in to the Left wing?
If the Democrats win I would invest in long extension cords and good fire insurance!

California had forest fires before Trump. Many people attribute wildfires to bad public policy having to do with forest management. Environmentalists have had too much sway?
I've heard it said that California’s four seasons were: flood, fire, earthquake and riot.
[Free Beacon] Virginia governor Ralph Northam received Planned Parenthood talking points just hours after he told a radio station that doctors should be able to deny life-saving care to abortion survivors, according to newly released documents.
A Planned Parenthood employee who previously worked as a Northam aide reached out to the Democratic governor's office shortly after his botched interview with a local radio station. She included several talking points to help sell the Northam-backed late-term abortion bill.
"Let's set the record straight: There is no such thing as an abortion up until birth," Planned Parenthood's Alexsis Rodgers said in an email to several Northam staffers shortly after the Jan. 30 interview. "The idea that this bill somehow allows a woman to have an abortion up to or as she gives birth is flat-out untrue‐it's simply not how medical care works, and it's frankly irresponsible to imply that it is."
The emails to Northam's office illustrate the rapid damage control campaign pro-choice activists employed to defend the bill in the wake of the governor's comments. The documents were released by government watchdog Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Rodgers's message had the subject "Topline messages for Northam" and featured personalized instructions for Northam to address abortion "as a physician." Rodgers was Northam's policy director when he was lieutenant governor, although she now works for the National Domestic Workers Alliance. Her message was forwarded to Virginia's deputy secretary of health and human resources Gena Berger.
The email was sent in the aftermath of Northam's now-infamous radio interview about how doctors should treat infants born alive during an abortion procedure.
[Breitbart] Anti-Trump leftists reacted negatively on Twitter Wednesday to President Trump’s tweet of a photoshopped image honoring the hero dog that chased Islamic State (ISIS) founder and leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, into a tunnel.
Trump tweeted an obviously photoshopped image depicting him honoring the dog, whose photo was released on Tuesday.
"AMERICAN HERO!" Trump wrote alongside the photoshopped image:
However, Trump’s decision to tweet the image, reportedly created by Daily Wire, prompted some to fact-check the obviously doctored image.
"I’ve requested details from the @WhiteHouse on this photo. There was no such canine event on today’s @POTUS schedule but there is a Medal of Honor ceremony set here for later today for an active duty Green Beret," Voice of America White House bureau chief Steve Herman wrote:
