Hey Deplorables, it’s still a ways to the weekend but the worst of the slog is over…

EXCLUSIVE: ‘I thought I was going to be the next to die at Ed Buck’s house.’ Man tells DailyMailTV how Democratic donor paid him $250 and injected him with meth after ‘fetish’ sex sessions in white long johns – as police probe TWO black men’s deaths

Via The Daily Mail

A man has told how he narrowly escaped death when Hillary Clinton donor Edward Buck injected him with crystal meth at his sex-toy filled apartment – where two black men have died within 18 months.

Jermaine Gagnon, 28, told DailyMailTV how Buck, 63, paid to fly him from Minnesota to Los Angeles, drugged him with a substance dissolved in Gatorade then injected him with crystal meth at his West Hollywood apartment.

And Gagnon shared pictures which show Buck, wearing white long johns, crouched over him on the mattress of a pullout bed during one of their nights together, as well as the ‘toolbox’ of sex toys he produced during their encounter.

Buck is now under investigation over the deaths of a black man in his 50s at his apartment in the early hours of Monday morning this week, and a second investigation into the death of Gemmel Moore 18 months ago has been reopened, after being closed for lack of evidence.

The prominent Democratic donor gave to Clinton and posed with former California governor Jerry Brown. One party congressman, Ted Lieu, has said he will return the cash Buck donated to him but the Clinton campaign has so far said nothing.

Buck has also faced protests outside his apartment over the deaths, which his attorney has denied he had any part in, claiming he opened his door to ‘vulnerable’ people in bad circumstances to try to help them.

Gagnon told DailyMailTV that he was homeless and couch-surfing in LA in April 2018 when he met Buck on the gay dating site, Adam4Adam.

Family of Man Who Shaun King Falsely Accused of Killing Jazmine Barnes Receiving Threats of Torture, Rape, Murder

Via Big League Politics

The family of the white man whom Black Lives Matter huckster Shaun King falsely named as a suspect in the killing of 7-year-old Houston girl Jazmine Barnes is receiving torture, rape, and death threats.

“I hear, ‘Someone is going to rape, torture and murder the women and children in your family,” Hailey Cantrell reportedly said, reading from comments directed towards her family online.

King posted a photo of a suspect sketch, which King assumed from “tips” sent to him was Hailey’s uncle, Robert Cantrell. The sketch was was posted King’s Twitter account, which has 1.1 million followers, naming Cantrell as the suspect in Barnes’ murder.

“We’ve had 20 people call or email us and say he is a racist, violent (expletive) and always has been. Just tell me everything you know,” King wrote in Twitter the post accompanying the photo.

The Tweet has now been deleted, and two black suspects are in custody. Eric Black Jr., 20, has been charged for the murder.

But that has not stopped the internet mob, led by King, from attacking the Cantrell family.

House Democrats Begin Gun Control Push

Via The Washington Free Beacon

House Democrats announced on Tuesday night the first piece of gun-control legislation they planned to pursue now that they are back in power.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) joined a coalition of the nation’s leading gun-control groups to unveil the new measure in an effort to demonstrate Democrats will make gun control a leading issue in the coming Congress. She spoke while standing alongside representatives from Moms Demand Action, the Brady Campaign, and March for Our Lives. Former congresswoman Gabby Giffords, who was shot eight years ago on Tuesday and now represents one of the best funded gun-control groups in the country, also spoke in support of the bill.

“Today is a day of action,” Pelosi said at the event. “We say enough is enough by finally bringing common sense bipartisan background check legislation to the floor of the House. The gun violence crisis is an epidemic that requires the energy engagement of our entire nation.”

“Stopping gun violence takes courage,” Giffords said. “The courage to do what’s right. The courage of new ideas. I’ve seen great courage when my life was on the line. Now is the time to come together. Be responsible. Democrats. Republicans. Everyone.”

The bill they unveiled, titled the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, would outlaw gun sales between private parties on the used market unless an FBI background check was obtained before the gun is transferred. It includes exceptions for temporary firearms transfers and gifts or sales between family members as well as a few other small carve outs but would expand background check requirements beyond sales conducted by licensed gun dealers.

Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein Will Exit DOJ After Mueller Submits Report, Likely Mid-to-late February…

By Sundance

Reports from inside the DOJ to allied resistance media announce that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will leave the DOJ once special counsel Robert Mueller (the team, not the person) submits their investigative report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Generally speaking, media reporting can be taken with a grain of proverbial salt; however, with these events it’s likely allied resistance media have embeds within the special counsel and DOJ coordinating leaks on their behalf. Additionally, this latest report aligns almost identically with the CTH prediction for legislative action. In short, it just makes sense.

This report aligns with the predictable sequencing of events we previously outlined from reviewing Democrat plans and Pelosi’s legislative rules requests and schedules.

A mid-to-late February report drop would put the Mueller team activity right in the bulls-eye for predictable hearings and legislative usefulness by Chairman of the Oversight Committee, Elijah Cummings.

Notice Speaker Pelosi requested the schedule for oversight hearings to be announced by April 15th, 2019.  Additionally, by prior DOJ agreement, Michael Cohen was deferred from prison until March 6th, 2019.   So it looks like the timeline is solidifying:

February/March: (event 1) Michael Cohen deposition (then straight to prison); Feb/March (event 2) the Mueller report; then in April Cummings announces oversight hearings using 1 & 2.  [The sequencing for event 1 and 2 remains malleable]  One aspect is very certain: all of this has been worked out well in advance.

As noted in December:  The baseline is that Democrat leadership are cunning political strategists; and have likely already drawn out the big picture road-map with details to be filled in as they proceed.

• The first event is the congressional use of Michael Cohen for a series of public committee hearings. [Oversight (Elijah Cummings) and possibly -though less likely- Judiciary (Nadler) and HPSCI (Schiff)] This likely has to happen before March 6th, 2019, when Cohen is scheduled to enter federal prison. It’s almost certain Cohen’s incarceration deferment contains the unwritten agreement to appear. [Democrat leadership almost certainly coordinated this plan with team Mueller and the SDNY some time ago.]
• The second event is the release of the Team Mueller political report which, despite its inability to find criminal wrongdoing, will most certainly be written with highly charged innuendo as damaging to President Trump as possible. The release of this report will absolutely fuel several public committee hearings [Oversight/Reform (Cummings), HPSCI (Schiff) and Judiciary (Nadler)] without any doubt.
• The third event is the release of the OIG Horowitz report on possible FISA abuse. Due to the nature of Mueller’s proprietary investigative blackout (Horowitz not allowed to  see investigative material or witnesses with Mueller probe ongoing), the Horowitz report will  likely come out *after* Mueller.

That’s the three key events the Democrats and media will be most likely to exploit for maximum political benefit in the first quarter of 2019.   The sequence between Mueller and Horowitz might reverse (though unlikely). Other investigative resistance paths will spur from these three primary Q1 events.

Twitter mocks ‘creepy twins’ Schumer and Pelosi for their Trump response

Via The Washington Examiner

Social media erupted Tuesday night over the awkward appearance of Democratic leaders in their response to President Trump’s Oval Office address.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., were side-by-side in a scripted response to Trump’s appeal on why the situation at the border is a crisis and responding to demands for a border wall.

Some compared the duo to the twins from the horror movie “The Shining.”
