Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee from California, was the victim of a prank phone call by Russian comedians who offered to give him ‘compromising’ dirt on Donald Trump, including nude photos of the president and a Russian reality show star.

After the prank call, Schiff’s staff actually engaged in correspondence with what they thought was a Ukrainian politician to try and obtain the ‘classified’ material promised on the call.

You can hear Schiff discussing his committee’s Russia investigation and other allegations about Trump with a man who claimed to be Andriy Parubiy, the chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament.

The call was actually from two Russian comedians nicknamed ‘Vovan’ and ‘Lexus’ who have become notorious for their phony calls to high-ranking American officials.

In the recording of the eight minute conversation, Schiff appeared to take the call seriously, and emails from the Democrat’s staff to the fake politician afterwards said he had found it ‘productive.’

The call took place on April 10, 2017. In the conversation, a caller identified himself as Andriy Parubiy, the speaker of Ukraine’s parliament. In fact, “Parubiy” was two people, Vladimir “Vovan” Kuznetsov and Alexey “Lexus” Stolyarov, who have previously prank-called Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

During this call, “Parubiy,” claimed that Trump met Russian model and singer Olga Buzova while in Moscow for the 2013 Miss Universe pageant, and that the two had had a brief affair.

“She got compromising materials on Trump after their short relations,” the caller told Schiff.

“OK, and what’s the nature” of the material? Schiff asked.

“Well, there were pictures of naked Trump,” the caller said, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin was made aware of the “images” by Ksenia Sobchak, a Russian journalist he described as “the goddaughter of Putin.”

“Parubiy” assured Schiff that he could provide records of Sobchak and Buzova discussing the images. He also claimed that the former national security adviser Michael Flynn met with another Russian singer, Arkadiy Ukupnik, in a Brooklyn cafe to discuss keeping the supposed images under wraps.

On the flip side, the explosive FISA memo that details wrongdoing by the FBI and the Department of Justice against President Trump shouldn’t be released because the American people wouldn’t understand what it means, according to Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).

Hmmm, we may understand much better than you think Mr. Schiff.

Someone once said, “stupid is as stupid does.”

I’d say, yes, but we’ll soon find out for sure.

When Robert Mueller was appointed “Special Counsel to investigate Russian interference with the 2016 Presidential election and related matters” on May 17, 2017, he was charged with “(i) investigating any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and (ii) any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation…”

It’s been over eight months now, and it appears there were no “links and/or coordination” between the Russians and the Trump campaign. The democrats and their minions (the biased mainstream media) have been pushing that narrative to keep the investigation going, but I believe they knew there wouldn’t be anything there, and they were just hoping Mueller would be able to come up with something under part (ii) regarding, “any matters that arose or may arise from the investigation.”  (Which translates to: “Anything we can dig up, relating to the original investigation or not.)

The democrats already know that THEY were the ones trying to influence the presidential election of 2016 by hook or by crook, with Russian involvement.

Now that Mueller hasn’t been able to come up with “anything” against President Trump, he and the democrats are in a precarious situation: Do they “double down” on their deception and their protection of Hillary Clinton, President Obama, and his administration, or has the time arrived to “cut bait” and throw some people under the bus?

The way I read Robert Mueller’s appointment, it doesn’t limit him investigating matters directly related to President Trump or his campaign only, but to “any matters that arose or may arise from the investigation.”

If Mueller doesn’t want his name and reputation tarnished, he needs to redirect his efforts towards the real matters that have arisen from his investigation, dealing with the behavior of the FBI, Hillary Clinton, The Democrat National Committee, the Obama administration, and even President Obama, himself.

I wouldn’t hold my breath though.

I predict that things are going to get a whole lot uglier. You see, these people have gotten the impression that they can get away with anything, as long as the mainstream media runs interference for them.

I guess we’ll just have to see about that.

Here are some choice quotes by the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, who is a Democrat from California. Yes, she actually said these things, and no, you can’t make this stuff up.

“Unemployment benefits are creating jobs faster than practically any other program.” (If that is actually true, that’s very sad.)

“Employers cutting hours is a good thing. It then gives that person time to pursue their dreams and passions.” (Referring to the “Un”affordable Care Act) (What if your dream is being able to afford an apartment and eat?)

“Hamas is a humanitarian organization.” (Ya, and so is ISIS!)

“We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it.” (Referring to the “Un”affordable Care Act) (Seems logical!)

“Civilization as we know it today would be in jeopardy if the Republicans win the Senate.” (Maybe that’s a good thing.)

“You cannot cut your way to deficit reduction.” (I have no words.)

“It is the worst bill in the history of the United States Congress.” (Referring to Trump’s tax cut bill)  (There are a lot to choose from.  This one is definitely not one of them.)

“No, it is the end of the world. The debate over health care is life and death. This is Armageddon.” (Again, referring to Trump’s tax cut bill) (So dramatic! Have you ever considered acting, Nancy?  I mean have you considered acting as an actual profession?)

“Those $1,000 bonuses are pathetic, insignificant, and crumbs.” (Ya, to someone who has turned earning $170,000 a year into a net worth of over $25 million.  How does that work exactly?)

“We should only deport illegal aliens if they do something illegal.” (This easier said than done!)

Stay tuned for more goofy Nancy Pelosi quotes. It should only take another month or two!

The German Army was on the offensive and advancing against the allied French and English armies. It was early in World War I, August 26, 1914, and there was a small British force fighting alongside the French army. During the battle, fought near Mons, Belgium, the French army retreated and the small British force was left to take the brunt of the advancing Germans.

Note: Belgium, comparatively, is a little bigger than the state of Massachusetts. Belgium is located directly across the English Channel from England, bordered to the south by France, and to the east by Germany.

The odds were 4-to-1 against the British. Although the British fought bravely as they tried to retreat in the face of superior numbers, they finally reached the point where “the Germans were coming on in such overwhelming numbers that rifles and courage could not hold them any longer.” Then, according to many witnesses who were actually participants in the battle, a miracle occurred.

The angels came.

There are numerous first-hand accounts of British soldiers who witnessed the events that day. Some angels were described as a “shadowy army…of bowmen,” and other British soldiers witnessed “unearthly figures materialize…above the German lines that were winged like angels.” There were other accounts that the angelic army was led by a “tall, yellow-haired man on a white horse, wearing golden armor and wielding a sword.” There were reports of hails of arrows being unleashed by the angelic bowmen which “cut down the enemy en masse.”

“The Germans later found the bodies of hundreds of their men lying on the battlefield with no discernible wounds…”

It was not only the common soldiers who saw the angels, but the officers as well. A British colonel is quoted as saying “…the thing happened. You need not be incredulous. I saw it myself.” Captain Hayward, an intelligence officer with the British Intelligence Corps, saw “four or five wonderful beings” and “figures of luminous beings.”

This event was widely-reported (and believed) in the British nations as many soldiers confirmed the angelic intervention. Many articles and books have been written about the angelic intervention. There is no question the soldiers and officers who were there believed that it occurred.

I am inclined to believe it occurred as well. Let me know what you think?

For most of his 18-year career as a U.S. Navy pilot, Commander David Fravor said his mother-in-law used to ask him a question, “Had he ever seen a UFO?” For 15 years, that answer was “no.”

But one clear afternoon off the coast of California in 2004, he says, that all changed. Commander David Fravor says in November of 2004 he had an unforgettable encounter with a strange aircraft that was defying the laws of physics.  He claims to have chased an alien aircraft while on a training mission off the coast of California, and he has warned world leaders to take UFO sightings seriously.

Retired US Navy pilot, Commander David Fravor spoke out in support of a former US government intelligence officer, Luis Elizondo, who revealed in December of 2017 that he ran a real life “X Files” UFO research department at the Pentagon named the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP) funded by $22 million in “black ops money” from Congress.

Elizondo secured the release of previously classified US Defense Department videos of UFO encounters, one of which shows the craft Commander Fravor saw darting off at an incredible speed.

Fravor was the commanding officer of the VFA-41 Black Aces, a U.S. Navy strike fighter squadron of F/A-18 Hornet fighter planes doing an exercise some 60 to 100 miles off the coast between San Diego and Ensenada, Mexico, in advance of a deployment to the Persian Gulf for the Iraq War, when they were diverted to check out an aircraft spotted on radar from their navy cruiser the USS Princeton.

The operations operator said they had been tracking up to a dozen mystery aircraft over the prior two weeks, but hadn’t had any manned planes deployed when they showed up.

The object first appeared at 80,000 feet (commercial jets usually travel between 30,000 feet and 40,000 feet), then hurtled towards the sea, stopping at 20,000 feet and hovered before dropping off the radar.

When Commander Fravor arrived at the UFO’s location, he saw a white aircraft hovering 50 feet above a disturbance in the ocean.

He said: “It was just moving randomly around, this 40 foot long white ‘Tic Tac’ looking thing, with no wings.”

“It was a clear day with a blue background and it was perfectly white. We didn’t see any windows, no form of propulsion, nothing, just a big white object.”

“It was rounded on both ends and had a cylindrical body which rounded in, same front to back.”

“I couldn’t tell what it was made of, it was bright white, but it wasn’t reflecting a bunch of light.”

Commander Fravor flew towards it and the aircraft began ascending towards him, passing him at about 12,000 ft. He thinks he got within a half mile of it.

He said, “I literally chased the thing and it started to mirror us, it was like it became aware we were there. I cut across to see if I could get closer and it rapidly accelerated and disappeared. Within a matter of a second it was gone.”

(Press Ctrl+left click above to view the radar video)

Asked what was going through his mind, he said: “I was thinking, ‘That’s pretty strange.’ In 16 years of flying I had never seen anything like that. Nothing that can hover and climb at that rate up and then accelerate and just disappear.”

“I was more curious then afraid. I wanted to see how close I could get to it, to see what it was.”

The radio operator on the USS Princeton then radioed and said the mystery aircraft had turned up right over their position.

At this point another aircraft was sent to investigate and recorded radar footage of the aircraft. The 90 second video shows the oblong shaped object hovering before it darts off to the left at what appears to be an unprecedented velocity.

Fravor said, “It jammed the radar, you couldn’t lock it with conventional radar, you could passively track it and see it, but if you tried to grab a lock on it the object wouldn’t allow you to do that.”

“When it takes off and goes to the side that’s a significant amount of distance to travel in a very short period of time, we’re talking miles, that thing just goes poof and in about a second it’s off the side of the screen.”

“You look at the video of it there’s no exhaust flume, there’s no indication of how that thing is moving around. Having seen a lot of different airplanes, you can always at least identify hot spots where the exhaust is coming out. I was close enough visually to go ‘we don’t have anything like that.’”

He insisted the object was alien in origin.

He said, “I know what I saw, it was impressive, and it had incredible performance.”

“I honestly don’t think humans have that technology to do what that thing did. Nor could the human body withstand accelerations like that. It’s an incredible technology to be able to go up to space, and back down and hang over the water like that.”

“I know what I saw and the other three people that were there saw at the same time. I think you would be hard pressed to question my credibility flying experience wise. I’m totally sane, in good health, I don’t do drugs.”

“We physically saw and chased it and we are the only ones that have actually gotten close to one of these things.”

He added, “You know, you see a lot of interesting things. But to show up on something that’s a 40-foot-long white ‘Tic Tac’ with no wings that can move, really, in any random direction that it wants and go from hovering over the ocean to mirroring us to accelerating to the point where it just disappears—like, poof, then it was gone.”

In an interview with The Washington Post, Fravor said he is certain about one thing, “It was a real object, it exists, and I saw it.” Asked what he believes it was, he responded that it was “something not from this Earth.”

Commander Fravor is now calling on British space expert Stephen Hawking to view the video and give his take on it.

Commander Fravor would seem to be an extremely credible witness. I can’t imagine why he would intentionally lie about this, and it appears he is clear about what he saw.  So…?

Keep searching…the truth is out there.

If we have learned anything through history, it’s that any, and every, group that has been given absolute trust has absolutely disappointed its constituents eventually.

The simple fact that “the swamp” doesn’t want “We the People” to see this memo should tell you everything you need to know.

They (the FBI and the democrats) are fighting, scratching and saying anything and everything they can to avoid having the light of day shined on this memo.

“It (the memo) will create a constitutional crisis,” they say. (Well, then all the reason to release it! The first step in solving a problem is admitting you have a problem.)

“They (We the People) won’t understand what was actually happening here,” they say. (I’m sure we’ll be pretty much able to figure it out. I mean if these politicians can figure it out…)

“The release of a Republican memo detailing the FBI’s alleged surveillance abuses would undermine the confidence people have in the FBI,” they say. (Translation: We want the American people to go on blindly trusting the FBI, no matter they do.)

“The FBI has grave concerns about the release of this memo,” they say. (This may be one of the few genuinely truthful statements released by the FBI about this whole mess. I’m sure they are concerned.)

“Government ought to be all outside and no inside. Everybody knows that corruption thrives in secret places, and avoids public places. We believe it a fair presumption that secrecy means impropriety.” – President Woodrow Wilson

While Robert Mueller and his team are walking around with magnifying glasses, trying to find a speck of evidence against President Trump, There is a mountain of evidence ready to land squarely on the heads of the FBI, Hillary Clinton, the prior Obama administration, and Congressional Democrats in general.

While “the swamp” has been vilifying and accusing President Trump of any number of things, on a daily basis, it appears this has just been a diversionary tactic, designed to direct the attention away from their own misconduct.

This scheme would have had some merit if Mueller and his team could have come up with anything against President Trump, but they have failed, and now the full weight of their unconstitutional and illegal actions are about to land right in their own laps.

It’s a beautiful thing.

The House Intelligence Committee on Monday evening (1/29/18) voted to release a classified memo that supposedly reveals government FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) surveillance abuses, among other things.

The four-page memo has been described by GOP lawmakers as “shocking,” “troubling” and “alarming,” with one congressman likening the details to KGB activity we might imagine that happens in Russia.

This memo discusses “the dossier” that was compiled during the 2016 presidential campaign in an effort to smear Donald trump. It was obtained by the U.S. firm Fusion GPS, which commissioned the research with funding from the Democratic National Committee and the campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. This unsubstantiated document was then allegedly used as a basis for spying on Donald Trump during the campaign and even after he won the election!

Do you remember a year ago when President Trump claimed his offices had been wiretapped and the democrats and everybody in the biased mainstream media laughed? Well, they’re not laughing now.

We also have the Justice Department’s inspector general’s report into the handling of the 2016 Hillary Clinton email investigation coming out in the very near future.

I think that very soon we are going to be able to see clearly what a disgrace some of these individuals have been to the FBI, Obama’s Justice Department, the Obama Administration, and to our country in general.

Boy, how they all wish Hillary Clinton had won the election.

Boy, how lucky we all are that she didn’t!

Fasten your seatbelt, because this whole mess is about to get real.

Our country is doing great!  Unless you’re more concerned about illegal immigrants than you are with American citizens.

Economically, we’re going gangbusters.  (This is great news too, unless you’re a politician who depends on people being dependent on government.)

Employment is at all-times highs for the general population and especially for minorities. (See above for why this isn’t good news for some.)

We’re gaining respect again around the world, militarily, diplomatically, and trade-wise. (Can you even believe that President Obama went on that “apology tour” of his when he was President?  How embarrassing.)

ISIS has been basically wiped out, and terrorists in general are on the run.  (Tell me again why we had to put up with ISIS’s beheadings, torturing, and general evil behavior under President Obama?)

We are back to respecting and following the laws of the land.  (Didn’t Obama and the democrats swear to defend the Constitution and the laws of our land when they took office?  I thought so.  So what happened?)

All I know is, it was nice to watch a state of the union address and not be lectured to or “talked down” to.

Yes, the state of our union is strong, unless you’re more interested in pushing the “the swamp’s” liberal, socialist and fascist agenda.

According to an article by Brooke Singman, a Political Reporter for Fox News:

The attempted suicide bombing in New York (12/11/17) would never have happened if President Trump’s immigration policies had been in place, the White House said after it was revealed that the terror suspect had entered the country via chain migration. Akayed Ullah, a 27-year-old from Bangladesh, was admitted to the U.S. after presenting a passport displaying a family immigrant visa in 2011.

“The suspect is a Lawful Permanent Resident from Bangladesh who benefited from extended family chain migration,” Department of Homeland Security Press Secretary Tyler Houlton said in a statement.

That prompted White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders to note that President Trump has railed against so-called “chain migration,” through which dozens of an immigrant’s relatives can enter the U.S. simply because their family member made it in.

“The president’s policy has called for an end to chain migration,” Sanders said. “If that had been in place, it would have prevented this individual from coming to the United States.”

President Trump, in a statement, blamed the attack on America’s “lax immigration system, which allows far too many dangerous, and inadequately vetted people to access our country.”

Between 2005 and 2015 the U.S. permanently resettled roughly 9.3 million new immigrants on the basis of family ties.

So what exactly is “chain migration?”

Based on an article from NumbersUSA:

Chain Migration starts with a foreign citizen chosen by our government to be admitted on the basis of what he/she is supposed to offer in our national interest. The original immigrant is allowed to bring in his/her immediate family consisting of a spouse and any minor children.

After that, the chain begins.

Once the original immigrant and his/her spouse becomes a U.S. citizen, they can petition for their parents, adult sons/daughters and their spouses and children, and their adult siblings, and so on, and so on. One legal immigrant can turn into dozens of relatives.

Who thought this was a good idea to begin with?

Of course, there are many different people expressing varying opinions about this problem now.

I agree with President Trump that chain migration should be limited to the immediate family (spouse and dependent children).

But what do we do if some of the millions of chain migrators already here choose to commit acts of terror on the rest of us?

I personally like an idea I heard from Greg Gutfeld, while watching “The Five” on the Fox News Channel. He suggested that if a person comes into the U.S. on a migration chain, and chooses to commit an act of terror, that person risks the deportation of the entire migration chain that they were a part of.

Now this I could see as being a real deterrent.
