‘The Coup Has Started’: Whistleblower Attorney Was Already Tweeting About Impeaching Trump in Jan. of 2017

Via American Greatness

One of the deep state attorneys representing the so-called “whistleblower” behind the Democrats’ ongoing impeachment inquisition, has been working toward the impeachment of President Trump since the early days of his administration, recently unearthed tweets reveal.

Mark Zaid, a prominent national security lawyer in Washington, tweeted in January of 2017 that the “coup has started” and that “impeachment will follow ultimately,” a Fox News analysis of his tweets revealed.

That tweet came shortly after President Trump fired then-acting Attorney General Sally Yates for refusing to make legal arguments defending Trump’s executive order on immigration and refugees.

He authored a number of other impeachment obsessed tweets as well.

“Johnson (1868), Nixon (1973), Clinton (1998) impeachment hearings. Next up @realDonaldTrump (2017),” Zaid tweeted in May of 2017. Then, in June of 2017, Zaid wrote: “45 years from now we might be recalling stories regarding the impeachment of @realDonaldTrump. I’ll be old, but will be worth the wait.”

Zaid is a frequent Trump critic on Twitter who has a history of playing hardball with those he perceives to be enemies of the deep state. In May of 2018, for instance, he threatened to sic his intelligence community friends on a random Twitter user who irritated him.

The user, who was a pro-Trump account formerly known as Imperator_Rex3 and then just “Rex,” was eventually suspended from Twitter, the Federalist reported.

“Hey ‘Rex’, why don’t you reveal your identity instead of attacking someone while hiding? I’d love to have my intelligence and law enforcement clients see what they can find about your life. We can compare notes on our research efforts. What do you say? Game?” wrote Zaid in a disturbing tweet.

CRACKDOWN: Twitter is Censoring Users for Exposing Name of Alleged ‘Whistleblower’ Eric Ciaramella

Via Big League Politics

Social media is trying to prop up the deep state witch hunt against the President.

The alleged deep state “whistleblower” who filed a complaint against President Donald Trump over his correspondence with Ukraine – now widely believed to be 33-year-old CIA officer Eric Ciaramella – is being protected by a political establishment desperate to keep the impeachment circus going.

Social media is taking cues from the fake news, which steadfastly refuses to disclose Ciaramella’s name. Twitter is even restricting and temporarily banning accounts that mention Ciaramella as the Big Tech giant grows desperate to prevent the truth from going viral.

Unfortunately for Twitter, the name is already widely circulating despite their best efforts. The fake news freaked out after Donald Trump Jr. posted Ciaramella’s name on his Twitter account earlier today.

Stunning incompetence at the hands of the Democrats has also put the reported name of the whistleblower out there for the public to see. House Intelligence Committee staffers, led by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), apparently forgot to redact Ciaramella’s name when they publicly released a transcript of acting U.S. Ambassador for Ukraine Bill Taylor’s testimony on Wednesday.

US newsrooms practically blame Mormon family after brutal slaughter in Mexico

Via The Washington Examiner

The line in media between poor editorial choices and anti-religious agitprop was blurred again this week after newsrooms appeared to blame the victims of a massacre in Mexico, which claimed the lives of three adult women and six children and left an additional five children injured.

The victims, all U.S. citizens, were members of a Mormon community that settled decades ago in northern Mexico. The mothers and their children had traveled in three separate vehicles Monday from their settlement in Sonora, Mexico, to a wedding in neighboring Chihuahua. Along the way, gunmen believed to be in the service of the cartels ambushed them, killing nine and leaving the rest for dead. Of the murdered, the oldest was 43-year-old Dawna Langford, and the youngest victims were 8-month-old twins, Titus Alvin Miller and Tiana Gricel Miller.

Yet, here is a sampling of how some American newsrooms have covered the ruthless massacre:

“Brutal Killings Spotlight Small Religious Sect in Mexico,” declared a since-amended New York Times headline. The story’s subhead declared also, “Fundamentalist religious communities have a long history in northern Mexico, dating back to settlers who practiced polygamy.”

The story’s opening line read originally, “The brutal killing of nine members of an American family in northern Mexico on Monday highlights the long history of religious fundamentalist settlers in the region.”

Really? That is what the brutal murders highlight?

History Is Clear: Socialism Isn’t the Cure. So Why Do Millennials Like It?

Via PJ Media

Multiple forms of socialism, from hard Stalinism to European redistribution, continue to fail.

Russia and China are still struggling with the legacy of genocidal communism. Eastern Europe still suffers after decades of Soviet-imposed socialist chaos.

Cuba, Nicaragua, North Korea and Venezuela are unfree, poor and failed states. Baathism — a synonym for pan-Arabic socialism — ruined the postwar Middle East.

The soft-socialist European Union countries are stagnant and mostly dependent on the U.S. military for their protection.

In contrast, current American deregulation, tax cuts and incentives, and record energy production have given the United States the strongest economy in the world.

So why, then, are two of the top three Democratic presidential contenders — Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren — either overtly or implicitly running on socialist agendas? Why are the heartthrobs of American progressives — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) — calling for socialist redistributionist schemes?

Why do polls show that a majority of American millennials have a favorable view of socialism?

Facebook Will Now Tell You How To React To News Stories

Via The Babylon Bee (Satire)

MENLO PARK, CA—Exciting new technology developed by Facebook will react to news stories for you.

Every time a news story comes across your Facebook feed, the company’s almighty algorithm will determine how you should feel about the news and tell you how you react. The company developed the technology when they noticed that many people were reacting the wrong way to news stories, choosing a laughing emoji when they were supposed to be mad or selecting a “love” emoji when they should have been totally outraged.

“For instance,” said one developer, “if we tell you that the president is building a wall, we’ll just go ahead and provide the angry reaction for you—no thinking necessary. This should improve your Facebook browsing time so you can spend more time scrolling through your feed and viewing ads for really bizarre products so we can get paid.”

“We noticed that with news stories about Ukraine, for instance, a news site would post that Trump negotiated with another foreign power, and nobody was really getting mad about it,” the developer continued. “They were just like, ‘So? That’s it?’ and that’s not the reaction we want.”

Other companies are looking into this technology, with Twitter suggesting it could roll out a program that automatically replies to problematic tweets with phrases like “This ain’t it, chief” and “Delete this.”
